Improving service quality and administrative efficiency remains the primary focus, with active community participation as a vital instrument. Cross-sectoral collaboration and institutional cooperation are identified as assets to create synergy in service provision. Inclusive measures through training programs and digital literacy serve as solutions to address disparities and unequal access. This research paints a picture of the performance efforts of the village government in facing the dynamics of public service in the era of digital transformation and changing societal values. It is hoped that these findings can guide other village governments in creating an effective and responsive public service system amid the challenges of the times.

WTAP-mediated abnormal m6A modification promotes cancer progression by remodeling the tumor microenvironment: bibliometric and database analyses.

Wilms' tumor 1 associated protein (WTAP) is an essential component of the m6A methyltransferase complex. The research on WTAP has been continuously developed and promoted in recent years. It is needed to make systematic specific bibliometric and database analyses on WTAP, to identify the cooperation and impact of authors, countries, institutions and journals, to evaluate the knowledge base and find the hotspot trends, and to detect the emerging topics regarding WTAP research. The related articles and reviews of WTAP in the Web of Science Core Collection from January 1999 to June 2022 were retrieved, and CiteSpace and VOSviewer were used to perform bibliometric and knowledge-map analyses. Multiple databases were used to explore the expression level of WTAP in pan-cancers and its correlation with prognosis and immune infiltration. In recent years, the number of publications on WTAP research has increased rapidly. Among the journals publishing WTAP research, Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology had the most papers, while Nature papers were most cited. The country with the highest number of publications on WTAP was China, and China Medical University was the institution with the most publications. The most prominent author was Haruo Sugiyama from Japan. Four main aspects of WTAP research included m6A modification, tumor association, cancer therapy, and regulatory mechanisms. The research frontiers and hotspots were m6A modification, methyltransferase, demethylation, tumor microenvironment (TME), and immunotherapy. Bioinformatics analysis showed that the expression of WTAP was up-regulated in a variety of tumors and closely related to TME and survival prognosis. From the bibliometric and database analyses on the researches on WTAP, it is suggested that up-regulated WTAP in cancers may promote cancer progression by mediating abnormal m6A modifications to reshape the TME, thereby affecting the survival prognosis of the patients. The information would provide helpful references for scholars focusing on WTAP and provide new insights for WTAP as a prognostic evaluation and immunotherapy for tumors in the future.

Comparative advantage of Indonesian mushroom commodities in the green technology era

Mushroom is a commodity in the agricultural sector that has the potential to be developed in global trade competition. As part of the ASEAN regional cooperation institution, Indonesia can contribute to achieving excellence in mushroom commodities. Developing mushroom cultivation to support green technology innovation also helps achieve food security for future generations. This research aims to analyze and overview the comparative advantages of ASEAN with China related to mushroom commodities in 2018-2022. This research uses descriptive analysis methods and RCA-Revealed Comparative Advantage analysis in calculating the RCA of this mushroom, using HS codes 0709, 0711, and 0712. HS code 0709 represents mushroom commodities based on the sub “Fresh or chilled mushrooms of the genus “Agaricus” and Fresh or chilled edible mushrooms and truffles. The results show that China has a comparative advantage over ASEAN regarding mushroom commodities in 2018-2022. China outperforms in 3 mushroom commodity sectors in HS Codes 071159, 071151, and 071239. In comparison, ASEAN regional institutions have a low and weak level of comparative advantage in each mushroom commodity code. These results indicate that countries that are members of ASEAN pay less attention to mushroom commodities. Therefore, strategic efforts are needed to develop mushroom commodities supporting green technology innovation by prioritizing humidity control to achieve national food security goals.

Affect-based dimensions of trust: a study of buyer-supplier relationships in Thai manufacturing

PurposeTrust is an important facilitator of successful B2B relationships. The purpose of this study is to investigate affect-based antecedents of both interpersonal and interorganizational trust, and their impact on the performance of buyer–supplier relationships. The authors ask two research questions: (1) What are affect-based dimensions of interpersonal and interorganizational trust? (2) How do interpersonal and interorganizational trust influence buyers’ operational performance?Design/methodology/approachThe authors use data from an original survey of 156 buyer–supplier relationships between multinational enterprise subsidiaries and local suppliers in the Thai manufacturing sector to develop a structural model in which the authors test the hypotheses.FindingsConsistent with social exchange theory and social psychology, the empirical analysis shows that affect-based dimensions at the individual level, namely, likeability, similarity and frequent social contact, and at the organizational level, namely, supplier firm willingness to customize and institutionalization of cooperation, are important for establishing trust. In addition, interpersonal trust enhances buyers’ operational performance indirectly via interorganizational trust.Practical implicationsBuying and selling firms may develop organizational trust by developing processes that enhance organizational trust. Individuals with purchasing or sales responsibilities may enhance trust in their personal relationship. However, such interpersonal trust needs to be translated to the organizational level to benefit organizational performance.Originality/valueThe findings contribute to the literature on affect-based antecedents and outcomes of trust. Specifically, the authors offer theory and empirical evidence regarding the contribution of salespersons toward affect-based dimensions of trust and its impact on buyer’s operational performance.

Enabling Pariahs

China’s economic size and authoritarian system allow it to “enable” pariah states’ violations of international norms in Myanmar (genocide and military coup), North Korea (nuclear missile development), and Russia (unprovoked invasion of a neighboring state). The Xi Jinping leadership not only advances national interests—involving trade, investment, energy supplies, and strategic access—but also aims to counter perceived threats to and constraints on the Chinese Communist Party, weaken its American superpower rival, and reshape the international order. Beijing’s relations with Myanmar, North Korea, and Russia exhibit three enabling mechanisms: economic sanctions busting; diplomatic coordination at the United Nations; and presenting alternative narratives via state-controlled media. Although China’s strategy is costly and has produced mixed geopolitical gains, it appears focused on the long term. In response, the United States and its partners are coordinating international law enforcement, strengthening institutional cooperation, and combating authoritarian informational campaigns.

Climate Change and Institutional Resilience in Arctic Environmental Governance

This article highlights recent successes and failures in efforts to manage Arctic marine living resources to improve our understanding of institutional resilience—that is, the ability of cooperative institutions to maintain their performance despite severe disruptions to their operating environments. Rising ocean temperatures and other impacts of climate change may alter the spatial distribution of fish stocks, including their relative attachment to exclusive economic zones and their availability on the high seas. As evident in the examined Arctic cases, which involve the world’s largest stocks of cod, herring and mackerel, such changes may complicate core resource management tasks, including the regulatory task of reaching an agreement among user states on quotas and other restraints that align with scientific advice. The cross-case variance in regulatory resilience to climate-related and other changes in cooperative circumstances sheds light on general propositions regarding the drivers and inhibitors of institutional resilience, including institutional characteristics and the severity of the political challenges posed by changing circumstances.

Community Ecological Behavior in Preserving Coastal Areas (Case Study of Mallusetasi Sub-District)

This article describes the forms of ecological behavior found in the coastal areas of Barru Regency. The ecological behavior in question includes individual and community behavior in preserving the environment. The study was revealed through qualitative methods. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The data analysis used is a qualitative analysis model. The results showed that at the individual level, a person’s ecological behavior toward the environment of the coastal area he lives in tends to be indifferent, such as the habit of throwing garbage in the river and the sea becomes commonplace. The river channel is often used as a dumping ground and individuals who live near the beach tend to throw their household waste directly into the sea. Individual awareness of environmental conservation is low, making it difficult to change habits that have been made. At the community level, awareness of ecological behavior will be formed when there are external stimuli such as government intervention and disaster events in the area. Individuals will tend to work together to clean up their environment when there are government intervention and the impact of disasters such as floods. From this research, it was found that individual awareness in ecological behavior is the main key in preserving the environment. On the other hand, support from the government or other cooperative institutions can also increase the tendency of people to behave ecologically.

Economic integration processes in East Asia - results, opportunities and challenges

The East Asian region is a major global economic player, given its economic size and potential. As such, regional economic integration of East Asia could be considered as an important building bloc towards integration of the Asia Pacific region. East Asia has made significant progress in creating institutions for closer cooperation and integration. East Asian regional production networks are the most integrated in the world, and regional financial initiatives have taken off. Gripped by this wave of regionalism, the East Asian economies have expedited further liberalization process and have started unmarked trade liberalization strategies, enhanced economic cooperation, and negotiating on currency un-ion. Since 1997, East Asian regionalism seems to have progressed and an East Asian Community is just around the corner. This paper is a study which presents the realities that East Asian regionalism is still lap-sided: economic regionalism is highly developed, while other key components (regional financial integration, education collaboration, and a regional political framework) are developing at a slower rate, stagnating, and/or regressing. It aims to present the reality of East Asian regionalism, provoke awareness of false perspectives, and present a recommendation towards a balanced and more sustainable East Asian integration.

ДИСПОЗИЦІЯ УКРАЇНИ НА РИНКУ НАНОТЕХНОЛОГІЙ

The article examines the current issues of leadership of countries in the field of nanotechnology, and it is argued that the pace of development of the national system of nanotechnology standardization and certification in Ukraine is far from encouraging, especially taking into account global progress in this area. The positions of Ukraine in the global rankings of the effectiveness of innovative activity were evaluated and the possession of our state with a fairly developed scientific, technical and educational potential as a basis for conducting fundamental nanotechnological research was confirmed, but they also demonstrate the presence of a number of deep structural problems in the domestic economy. Significant inhibiting factors in the development of the nanotechnology segment of the national innovation system are also the preservation of significant bureaucratic and financial restrictions in the internationalization of Ukrainian R&D, which not only repel international partners from this process, but also largely demotivate domestic scientific research institutions to develop international innovation cooperation and involvement in of foreign infrastructural capacities. An immanent feature of the national field of research and development is also the significant problems of international scientific and technical cooperation of domestic institutions and the insufficient level of their integration into the global and European research space. It has been proven that despite the transformation of nanotechnology into a leading scientific and technological priority of global innovative progress in recent decades, nanoproduction still has not gained significant distribution in Ukraine. In the context of successfully overcoming the scientific and technical backwardness of our country in the field of development of the nanotechnological segment of the domestic innovation market and increasing the scale of production of new nanomaterials, the issue of ensuring a deep convergence of fundamental and applied research and development of the nanotechnological profile, as well as organizational, economic and institutional training of domestic sub enterprises to the introduction of nanotechnology in their production activities.

Evaluation Model Construction of School-Enterprise Cooperation Innovation Ability Based on Big Data Analysis

Abstract This study analyzes SCIE papers published by 39 universities as a substantial big-data sample, employing latent class analysis to explore the characteristics of university-enterprise cooperation in Chinese institutions. It identifies five categorical attributes to construct a latent class model. This paper integrates hierarchical analysis with fuzzy mathematics to develop a comprehensive fuzzy evaluation model. By organizing and layering the factors, a rational set of indicators is established, and a hierarchical analysis structure is constructed. Utilizing a judgment matrix, the study calculates the importance rankings of all indicators, thereby highlighting the significant influence of the factors. Empirical results indicate that the model achieves optimal fit with five latent categories. Within the five primary indicators for evaluating the innovation capability of university-enterprise cooperation, the weight of innovation outcomes is the highest at 0.24, followed by industrial innovation at 0.22. The analysis reveals a regional imbalance in university-enterprise collaboration across the eastern coastal area, with Guangdong achieving the highest rating of 84.03, closely followed by Jiangsu. In assessing the innovation capability of university-enterprise cooperation in Guangdong's applied universities, the overall scores for universities categorized as B, C, and D are 3.641, 3.522, and 3.409, respectively. Notably, the scores for R&D investment intensity and Chinese patent applications are relatively low, suggesting these areas require enhancement to bolster support and development, thereby improving university-enterprise cooperation and innovation capabilities.

The article raises important insights into a wide area of research that indicates not only the need to describe and identify the phenomenon of initiated cross-border cooperation of educational institutions within Euroregions, but also reveals the need for a deeper, individual and comparative analysis of many Euroregions and their activities in the field of creating educational policy

МЕЖМУНИЦИПАЛЬНОЕ СОТРУДНИЧЕСТВО КАК ЭЛЕМЕНТ ФОРМИРОВАНИЯ ГОРОДСКИХ АГЛОМЕРАЦИЙ

The establishment of urban agglomerations, or large-scale complex territorial units, is one of the global trends. In modern democratic states, the practice of managing urban agglomerations successfully applies mechanisms of inter-municipal cooperation as the primary means of cooperation between municipalities. At the same time, he Russian Federation’s inter-municipal cooperation institution is underdeveloped, preventing municipalities from working together to solve local challenges by transferring powers and resources between municipalities of the urban agglomerations. In this regard, the article examines the prospects for the development of legal regulation of special forms of inter-municipal cooperation in urban agglomerations, which is distinguished by the transfer of powers to resolve local issues between municipalities within the agglomeration.

Bibliometric Analysis of the Top-100 Cited Articles on Postoperative Delirium.

Postoperative delirium (POD), a common complication affecting short- and long-term prognosis in elderly patients, leads to a heavy burden on social economy and health care. The main purpose of this study is to conduct a bibliometric analysis of the 100 most frequently cited articles on POD. "Postoperative delirium" and its synonyms were searched in the Web of Science (WoS) core database. The top-100 cited articles were automatically selected by sorting the records in descending order. Key information such as author, journal, article type, publication year, citations, since 2013 usage count, institution, country, and keywords were extracted and analyzed. VOSviewer software was applied to do the visualization analyses of institution co-operation, author interaction, author co-citation, and keywords co-occurrence. The CiteSpace software was used to analyze keywords burst. Most articles were published by authors and institutions in the United States of America (USA). Inouye was the most influential author of this field. The journals that recorded these articles had a high impact factor (IF), with a highest IF of 168.9 and an average IF of 18.04. Cohort studies were the main document type in this field (42 publications), followed by randomized controlled trial (RCT) and systematic reviews or meta-analysis (18 and 14, respectively). The 10 keywords with the highest appearance were "delirium", "risk-factors", "surgery", "confusion assessment method", "elderly patients", "hip fracture", "intensive care unit", "cardiac surgery", "general anesthesia", and "risk". Moreover, "double blind" and "cardiac surgery" were the most recent booming keywords. We indicated the current research status and tendency of POD by analyzing the 100 most influential articles on POD. The USA is the leader in this field. Prospective study is the preference for authors to cite. Cardiac surgery remains the primary research carrier and the hotspots in the near future may be double-blind studies.

LEADERS ROLE IN IMPLEMENTING INTEGRATED FUNCTIONAL ADULT EDUCATION IN GUTO GIDA WOREDA OF EAST WOLLEGA ZONE, OROMIA REGIONAL STATE, ETHIOPIA

The objective of this research was to examine the leadership roles and challenges in implementing IFAE in Guto Gida Woreda. The study employed descriptive research type with concurrent mixed method design or triangulation Design. Data was collected concurrently and mixed during data interpretation. In order to select the 279 sampled respondents from the target population of 788 from woreda and 8 kebele leaders, adult education facilitators and adult education currently attending the program, stratified, systematic and purposive sampling techniques were employed. Data were collected from both primary sources and secondary sources. Quantitative data collected through questionnaires were analyzed by using descriptive statistics. The qualitative data collected through interview, FGD, and document review analyzed through thematic analysis. The reliability test is 0.89 which implies that the instruments for data collection are reliable and the response rate of the study is 97.13% which is adequate. The finding of the study revealed that there are limitations such as the absence of adult students’ enrolment, irregular attending of the class, the program not based on adult students’ interest, low program completion by the students; and existence of gaps in improving adults’ basic literacy skill. Similarly, the findings indicated the existence of gaps in implementing leadership roles of creating a vision, decision making, strategically planning and monitoring and evaluating IFAE implementation performance. The study conclude that the current practice of IFAE implementation is poor; leaders in the study have limitations in discharging their leadership roles mainly due to challenges like financial, material and resource; human weak institutional cooperation and community awareness. Based on this, it is recommended to give proper attention; articulate clear vision, and plan strength stakeholder participation, communities create awareness and design strong monitoring and evaluation system in order to improve IFAE implementation in the woreda.
