Bibliometric analysis of expatriates in the scope of human resource management

In the current era of globalization in the workplace, employees no longer labor solely within a single nation. Current employees are also able to work abroad, apply for positions abroad, and work for domestic companies with overseas locations. This era of globalization affords us the chance to observe cross-cultural diversity and the development and expansion of intercultural interaction, so that expatriate adjustments are very significant and management of cross-cultural employees presents significant challenges. Expatriates are employees brought in by companies from abroad to be employed in the company. Expatriate employees are required to adapt to local culture and be able to manage their stress. This study uses Bibliometric Analysis as a research method using the keyword Expatriate. This study aims to find out the literature review related to expatriates in the scope of Human Resource Management. There were 7,193 articles found obtained from Scopus, then the articles were selected so that 123 articles were used in this study. This study also uses the Vos Viewer application to categorize and visualize co-authorship, co-accuracy, and citation.

Asymmetric Green Bonds‐Energy Efficiency Nexus in European Union Countries: Evidence from Econometric Estimation

AbstractGreen financing has a direct or indirect link with energy efficiency and environmental‐based sustainable development goals. The present study explores the nonlinear green bonds‐energy efficiency association in the topmost ten green bonds issuing nations of the European Union (Germany, Italy, France, Sweden, Spain, Netherlands, Norway, Denmark, Belgium, and Finland). Previous research utilizes panel data econometric techniques, yielding typical results about the linkage among green bonds and energy efficiency, despite the reality that numerous nations do not observe such linkage individually. This research, conversely, adopts an unusual approach known as “quantile‐on‐quantile,” which permits researchers to observe dependence of time‐series in every single nation exclusively to give global yet country‐related expertise regarding the connection among the variables. According to estimations, green‐bond financing enhances energy efficiency in the majority of the chosen countries at many quantiles of the variables. Additionally, the data reveal that the extent of asymmetry among variables differs by nation, underlining the necessity of governments giving keen attention while adopting green financing and energy efficiency programs.

Conditional bribery: Insights from incentivized experiments across 18 nations

Bribery, a grand global challenge, often occurs across national jurisdictions. Behavioral research studying bribery to inform anticorruption interventions, however, has merely examined bribery within single nations. Here, we report online experiments and provide insights into crossnational bribery. We ran a pilot study (across three nations) and a large, incentivized experiment using a bribery game played across 18 nations (N = 5,582, total number of incentivized decisions = 346,084). The results show that people offer disproportionally more bribes to interaction partners from nations with a high (vs. low) reputation for foreign bribery, measured by macrolevel indicators of corruption perceptions. People widely share nation-specific expectations about a nation's bribery acceptance levels. However, these nation-specific expectations negatively correlate with actual bribe acceptance levels, suggesting shared yet inaccurate stereotypes about bribery tendencies. Moreover, the interaction partner's national background (more than one's own national background) drives people's decision to offer or accept a bribe-a finding we label conditional bribery.

Justice as A Law Sacrament: Measuring Justice in Pancasila Philosophy

Indonesia as a plural country with a diversity of ethnicities, religions, races, customs, cultures, regional languages, will really rely on a single nation principle, namely Pancasila with the logical consequence that every aspect of its life will be governed by Pancasila which is chaired by the state through its tool, namely the government. fully sovereign. This means that all complex life of society is entrusted to the State, including in the field of law to achieve essential justice. In this regard, the state is obliged to carry out the orders of Pancasila through the constitution, which is used as a guideline and benchmark in every practice of state administration, including aspects of law enforcement that are just for all Indonesian people.

Comparative Performance Evaluation of the Public Health Surveillance Systems in 6 Gulf Cooperation Countries: Cross-sectional Study.

Evaluating public health surveillance systems is important to ensure that events of public health importance are appropriately monitored. Evaluation studies based on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines have been used to appraise surveillance systems globally. Previous evaluation studies undertaken in member countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) were limited to specific illnesses within a single nation. We aimed to evaluate public health surveillance systems in GCC countries using CDC guidelines and recommend necessary improvements to enhance these systems. The CDC guidelines were used for evaluating the surveillance systems in GCC countries. A total of 6 representatives from GCC countries were asked to rate 43 indicators across the systems' level of usefulness, simplicity, flexibility, acceptability, sensitivity, predictive value positive, representativeness, data quality, stability, and timeliness. Descriptive data analysis and univariate linear regression analysis were performed. All surveillance systems in the GCC covered communicable diseases, and approximately two-thirds (4/6, 67%, 95% CI 29.9%-90.3%) of them covered health care-associated infections. The mean global score was 147 (SD 13.27). The United Arab Emirates scored the highest in the global score with a rating of 167 (83.5%, 95% CI 77.7%-88.0%), and Oman obtained the highest scores for usefulness, simplicity, and flexibility. Strong correlations were observed between the global score and the level of usefulness, flexibility, acceptability, representativeness, and timeliness, and a negative correlation was observed between stability and timeliness score. Disease coverage was the most substantial predictor of the GCC surveillance global score. GCC surveillance systems are performing optimally and have shown beneficial outcomes. GCC countries must use the lessons learned from the success of the systems of the United Arab Emirates and Oman. To maintain GCC surveillance systems so that they are viable and adaptable to future potential health risks, measures including centralized information exchange, deployment of emerging technologies, and system architecture reform are necessary.

His plays are an accurate picture of what is going on in the world. Sircar is a very sensitive writer who is compelled to write and ponder by the events taking place around him. His plays are a potent depiction of the predicament of people who are going through a difficult time in their lives due to numerous socio-political factors, both physically and mentally. He has produced over fifty plays. Generally speaking, he wrote his plays in Bengali, although many of them were afterwards translated into English. His plays mostly discuss societal themes, the plight of oppressed people, and dominance. This paper presents works by Badal Sircar that emphasise both significant historical occurrences and contemporary man's daily circumstances. All of his writings are based on actual incidents that took place in society close to him. This paper explains and illustrates how, as a dramatist, he skillfully depicts the present events and circumstances in readers lives to act as a mirror. The study paper looks for voices from both the dominant and underclasses. The research article critically reveals the terrible reality and sufferings of the lower classes. SOCIETY: Human relations or social relations refer to all of a person's interactions with other individuals. Society is the sum of all of these connections between people who live in a single neighborhood or nation. In a society where people have different needs and difficulties, an organization must meet those needs and provide solutions to the issues that arise. The establishment of these standards, which are based on intelligently and responsibly meeting the essential necessities of housing, education, protection, food, employment, health, and occupation, as well as amusement, clothes, and transportation, is how society is governed. Since an individual cannot make progress in every sector, the development of society is essential to growth.

Reflection of the national economic mentality in a folk tale

Formulation of the problem. A fairy tale as a folk-narrative or literary work about fictional events, fictional persons, events with the participation of fantastic persons [9, p. 71], reveals in its text the peculiarities of mentality and folk thinking in the field of economic activity of the people in general and representatives of this people in particular. The Ukrainian fairy tale builds a special philosophical attitude to labor on earth. The study of a folk tale provides an opportunity to understand the peculiarities of the economic mentality of a single nation. The subject of research there is a folk tale as an oral work that reflects the mentality of the nation, in particular the economic component of the mentality itself. The purpose of this study is a consideration of a folk tale, which in its text reveals aspects of the economic mentality of the people, as well as the formation of a person's economic outlook from early childhood. In addition, to find out the peculiarities of the national formation of the economic outlook of the individual. The methodological basis research is a comparative, historical, analytical, comparative and statistical method. Research results. consider the issue of the formation of the economic mentality of the representatives of the nation. In particular, we are talking about the Ukrainian nation. In particular, attention was paid to the attitude of Ukrainians to the land as a resource for production and labor on the land. Field of application. The results of the article can be used in higher education institutions, research institutions, students, graduate students, teachers. Conclusions. A consideration of a folk tale, in particular a Ukrainian one, reveals the specificity of the attitude of the people in general and the individual in particular to work, to natural resources used in the economic process. It is also obvious that Ukrainian fairy tales are dominated by the cult of the land and labor on the land, that this resource is the main source of wealth. Ukrainians appears in these texts as a farming nation. At the same time, in the moral and ethical aspect, work is revealed as a human virtue, and idleness is condemned. In principle, a folk tale makes it clear how the economic worldview of an individual and a nation is formed.

Остановка политики «коренизации» в СССР (историософский аспект)

In the article, the policy of «indigenization» was seen as an important element in the political development of the Soviet Union. However, by the end of the 1920s, it much exhausted herself. In the context of the growing military confrontation between the USSR and the capitalist countries surrounding it (the “military alert of 1927”), the growth of “local nationalisms” served as a weakening factor for the country. Under these conditions, it was decided to gradually abandon the policy of «indigenization» in favor of encouraging «Soviet patriotism». The result of this policy was the formation of the concept «Soviet people», which was actually built as «socialist in form, national in content» (based on Russian culture and history). This contradiction prevented the formation of a single Soviet nation and served as one of the reasons for the collapse of the USSR, since the concept of «Soviet people» was not close to any of the peoples of the USSR, including the Russian people.

Nation Building Elements in Afghanistan

A nation is a collection of people who have common culture, history and values so that these values can cause cohesion and solidarity among different groups in a country. Transitional factors such as culture and language, common race, common history, religion, etc., play a role in the formation of a nation. These factors are among the things that cause the formation of a nation. A nation-building is a sociological approach that is realized as a result of the fading of ethnic, racial, and gender distinctions. Today, nation-building is used as one of the important tools in different societies for the solidarity and integration of ethnic groups. Various factors play a role in the process of nation-building, and these factors have both strengthening and inhibiting roles. When national-civil nationalism is strengthened in the process of nation-building, the process of nation-building is realized, but with the strengthening of ethnic and religious nationalism, the process of nation-building faces a dead end. Countries that have been able to build a nation have been able to form a single nation by strengthening nationalism. But in countries where there is ethnic and religious nationalism, the process of nation-building faces many challenges. Therefore, the realization of the nation-building process in heterogeneous societies is one of the important tools for the cohesion and solidarity of different ethnic groups, and with the realization of this process, social distinctions disappear, and all citizens enjoy the same privileges and equal rights in a country. In this research, using the descriptive-analytical method, the tools and methods of nation-building in Afghanistan have been examined.

Public History, National Museums and Transnational History

The concept of a ‘national museum’ is fundamentally at odds with the theory and practice of public history, with public historians’ understanding that historical experience often does not obey borders, that the nation is not always the center of human experience and culture. The argument of this essay is that transnational history—history that crosses borders, that challenges the privileging of the nation state—constitutes an opportunity for national museums to go beyond national identity and the confines of geopolitical borders. Human experience is far more complicated than can be captured in the history of a single nation, and national museums are obligated to transcend such a narrative and engage in the contested, transnational nature of history and culture. Museums are well positioned to do this because they deal not only in ideas but in objects, the material culture of times and places that did not so easily sort out into ‘nation’ and ‘other.’ Museums can make the theoretical real, illuminating how national identity has been constructed from the parts of our many cultures, ideas, and institutions, recentering the narrative and recovering the stories obscured by the ascendancy of the national narrative.

M.K. ATATURK’S LANGUAGE POLICY AS A FACTOR OF NATIONAL IDENTITY IN TURKEY

With the formation of the Republic of Turkey and M.K. Ataturk’s accession to government, the ideological policy of the state was based on the principles of unifying the peoples under the single nation. This required the implementation of a language and nationality policy. The preparation and transition to the Latin alphabet was followed by a policy of “cleaning” the Turkish language from Arabo-Persian elements. A combination of national policies were the main points in the implementation of the “Turkish nation” mentality. Every citizen, irrespective of his/her nationality, started to be referred to as a Turk by official documents in the newly established state in 1923. M.K. Ataturk’s policy of national identity eventually led to the consolidation of the peoples of all of Turkey.  The implementation of this policy entailed both the use of harsh methods and the fight against the scholastic religious leaders and the forcible introduction of a new alphabet. These innovations and the abrupt rejection of the Arabic alphabet naturally aroused the discontent of some sections of the population. Considering the totality and the aims of M.K.Ataturk’s policy, the process of nation building as reflected in modern Turkey must be emphasised. Today, despite the ideologisation of society as a whole and its division into several branches of right-wing and left-wing, the population of Turkey has a strong sense of national cohesion due to threats to national security from the outside. The current domestic and foreign policy of R.T. Erdogan in the Middle East and the Black Sea region is proof of this. Naturally, these historical processes increase the relevance and necessity of the study. In this study historical continuity, content analysis, historicism, comparative analysis of politics and national identity process and critical approach to language policy have been used.   Keywords: Turkey, M.K. Ataturk, language policy, national identity

Philtral Height Discrepancy in Patients with Complete and Incomplete Cleft Lips + /-Palate - Results from a Single Nation Consecutive Cohort.

The aim of unilateral cleft lip repair is to restore form and function, including symmetrisation of cleft and non-cleft philtral height. Expectation of best outcome is achieved in situations with minimal asymmetry and is assumed occurs most often in incomplete cleft lip only patients. We sought to investigate philtral height discrepancy (PHD) in children with unilateral cleft lip + /-palate from a single nation cohort. Review of prospectively collected PHD measurements taken at time of surgery for all children undergoing unilateral cleft lip repair in Scotland born Jan 2017-December 2020. Data was collected using Microsoft Excel and analysed using embedded statistical software. 102 consecutive patients with unilateral lip involvement were identified from the national database. 94 had prospectively documented PHD (92.2%). The majority of patients had an isolated cleft lip (51.1%). Incomplete clefts presented more frequently (52.1%) than complete clefts (47.9%). Mean PHD for the whole cohort was 3.91mm (standard deviation 1.01mm, range 1-6mm). The difference in mean PHD (in-complete versus complete) was 1.1mm (3.4 vs. 4.5, p < 0.001). For lip only versus lip and palate the difference in mean PHD was 1.0mm (3.4 vs. 4.4, p < 0.001). This single country consecutive cohort review of PHD in children undergoing unilateral cleft lip repair statistically supports the anecdote that patients with an incomplete cleft lip and isolated cleft lip have lesser asymmetry at presentation. This study presents a consecutive cohort with a greater range of PHD than has previously been reported in the literature.

A Road Map to Success of International Field Campaigns in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences

Abstract Understanding and predicting Earth’s environment requires information and ­knowledge of detailed physical, chemical, and biological processes directly from observations. Well-organized and properly conducted field campaigns are powerful ways to make such observations. Major international field campaigns with participation from multiple countries bring together expertise and resources to address complex scientific issues that are difficult or impossible to be tackled by a few scientists in a single nation. This article describes the essential elements of international field campaigns, the necessary steps of planning and execution that need to be taken for their success, and other considerations that make international field campaigns successful. The ­intention of this article is to encourage early career professionals to participate in and learn to organize field campaigns in this exciting time of rapidly evolving technological observing capabilities and increasing efforts to seek global diversity, equity, and inclusion in science.

«В ЦЕПИ КУЛЬТУРНОГО ВЗАИМОДЕЙСТВИЯ НЕТ ПРОМЕЖУТКА»

The article examines the views and ideas of the Turkic elites about the structure of Russia, the formation of ethno-cultural blocks, their changing geometry of obligations, responsibilities, alliances and subordination after revolutions. Three stages of their development are identified and explained. The attitude to the federal system was complex, multifaceted and mobile, taking into account the totality of views on federalism as the experience of Western state-legal and political thought and practice. As a result, the East for the elites remained in conflict with the main thing - the “great experiment”- not only to create a single socialist nation - the Soviet people. The “experiment” infringed on the East, made it more vulnerable, left only its exoticism. The analysis of the struggle, its logic does not “balance” their common history in any way, it is difficult to reconcile the history of the struggle for different projects of the multinational country.

Pierre Elliott Trudeau, Prime-Minister of “One Canada”

A statesman of Canada, Pierre Elliot Trudeau (1918—2000), a Liberal Prime Minister in 1968—1979, 1980—1984, is the author of the “patriation” of the Constitution of 1982, which included a universal Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and of the law on official bilingualism. Trudeau defended the integrity of state from the threats of supporters of extremist forms of separatism that arose among the radical nationalists of the French-speaking province of Quebec, directing federal-provincial contradictions into the political and legal channel. Trudeau was inspired by the concept of “One Canada” and the philosophy of “Just Society”, combining the ideas of the supremacy of individual freedoms with the high responsibility of the state, social measures with equal linguistic and cultural development of Francophones and Anglophones as parts of a single political nation. Trudeau’s enduring legacy also includes the abolition of the death penalty, the end of the discrimination of homosexuals, the simplification of divorce proceedings, multiculturalism and anti-poverty measures. The foreign policy course also bore the imprint of Trudeau’s ideas of justice in a changing global world. He initiated the diversification of international relations, collaborated with socialist countries, defended detente and nuclear security, reducing Canada’s participation in NATO and removing nuclear missiles from the country’s territory.

What to Expect For the Retail CBDC: Evidence from E-payment and Financial Stability in China and Korea

This study explores what can be expected for launching a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) by investigating relationship between e-payments and financial stability. Most studies analyzed the impact of CBDC on financial stability focusing on a single nation’s economy. Few studies prospected the impacts of CBDC on the financial stability by comparing two nations with varying payment infrastructures. This study uses e-payment as a proxy for CBDC to derive implications on retail CBDC and financial stability.&#x0D; This study is significant in that it seeks to prospect the effect of CBDC on financial stability by employing a real data analysis. This paper first identifies the causal correlation between e-payment and financial stability in China and Korea using a VAR model. Then, it employs a LSDV model to measure the effect of latent variables on financial stability in China and Korea when the coefficient between e-payment and financial stability is fixed equal. I use the quarterly panel data of capital adequacy ratios (CAR), e-payments, stock prices, and treasury bond yields spanning from 2014:Q1-2022:Q2. The results of the Granger test suggest that there is no Granger cause relationship between e-payments and BIS capital ratios. Meanwhile, the results of LSDV suggest that e-payments and financial stability are positively correlated and it is statistically significant. The positive correlation are larger when the variables affecting the financial stability are controlled. The results also suggest that the Korea-specific component is larger than the China-specific component implying that financial stability in Korean economy is more likely to be affected by the latent factors other than e-payment compared to the Chinese economy. Yet, owing to the negative impact of COVID-19 on the banking sector, the coefficient of e-payment and the financial stability is negative in the COVID sample. The risk premium is found to have a negative correlation with financial stability, and it was more evident in the Korea-specific component than in the China-specific component. It is inferred from these findings that China would have a greater incentive to launch a retail CBDC than Korea considering its prospected positive effect on financial stability.

Analysis The Influence of Country of Origin and Brand Image on Purchase Intentions through Customer Uncertainty (Study Case on OPPO Smartphone)

Changes in trade activities have occurred as a result of changing times, and technical improvements have benefited corporations or business players in extending or growing markets that are no longer restricted to a single nation but may penetrate other countries. The emergence of foreign products, such as mobile phones, widen the choices of mobile phones in the Indonesian market. The majority of mobile phone brands purchased by Indonesian consumers are from China, despite the fact that the majority of the world regards China as having product stereotypes or product images that are of poor quality, cheap, and frequently counterfeited, resulting in a discontinuity with the product image they have. This study examines and analyses the effect of country of origin and brand image on purchase intentions through customer uncertainty on OPPO smartphone. The study sample included customer over 18 years old who has purchased and used OPPO smartphone. The sample in this study was 200 respondents. The method used in this study is a structural equation model (SEM) with the help of AMOS software for hypotheses test. The results of this study show country of origin and brand image has a negative effect on customer uncertainty, country of origin and brand image has a positive effect on purchase intention, whereas customer uncertainty has a negative effect on purchase intention. This study significantly extends managerial implications for OPPO to focus heavily to solve customer uncertainty by advertising product performance and giving detailed information about the product (such as label) to lower customer uncertainty and encourage customer to have intention to purchase OPPO smartphone. secondly, to solve customer uncertainty OPPO need to eliminate China’s (OPPO country of origin) stereotype as a country with a poor product.

Evidence of Interdependence between Listed Companies of Major Sector in Dhaka Stock Market

This article focuses on the major companies of different sectors that trade on the Dhaka stock market. In the Dhaka stock exchange, different sectors played a significant role. These sectors have a significant influence on the Dhaka stock market index. Previous research mainly focused on the connection between stock markets and GDP, currency rates, commodities, oil, and so on, but did not focus on the connection between companies inside stock markets. Therefore, it is necessary to estimate the correlation between the companies in various sectors. This article explores the volatility and interrelationships between the companies that can be modeled in DCC-GARCH framework. Concurrently, Diebold and Yilmaz's technique was applied to investigate spillover effects and sector-wise company interconnectedness for robustness purposes. From the sample data, it was observed that the pairwise correlation in the companies is positive and significant. The DCC-GARCH model result revealed that there is evidence of volatility and that it exists over a longer period. The empirical findings indicate significant volatility as well as evidence of interdependence among the listed companies. Dhaka Bank, Aftabauto, RENATA, PRIMETEX, and HRTEX are the most commonly identified shock receivers and transmitters. Diebold and Yilmaz's findings are similar to those obtained using the DCC-GARCH method in that there is an indication of strong interdependence and spillover effects. The findings are essential for micro-investors and the policymakers to make further advancements not only important for a single nation but also for other countries.

Methodological approaches to the formation of the pre-service Music teachers' systematic idea of the national musical culture

The work is devoted to the formation of a systematic idea of the national musical culture (NMC) in the music teachers training process. The expediency and validity of four pedagogical approaches have been determined. It concerns systemic, culture-based, activity-centred and hermeneutic approaches. Based on the conceptual provisions of researchers' works, as well as the method of systemic genre modelling of musical culture, the idea of the structure of the NMC as a systemic and holistic phenomenon is accepted as a guideline. The basis of the NMC is the tradition of folk art, folklore of large and small peoples belonging to a single nation. Folklore is a complex phenomenon that should be presented and studied as a system of song, dance, and instrumental genres (mythological, ritual and magic, calendar and ritual, epic, game, etc.) The author describes that the genre model of the NMC used in the study allows to cover all the main characteristics and elements of the cultural practice of music, such as: the activities of performing musicians; functioning of theatres, concert organisations, creative unions; work of educational institutions; production and use of musical instruments, sheet music and books; media activity, etc. Therefore, the NMC can be considered not only in terms of its genre content. However, with any approach, from any point of view, the theoretical reflection of musical culture will be a multi-element, multi-faceted and multi-level unity. They are implemented through the application of a complex of pedagogical principles, methods and forms of education, such as: the principle of coordination and subordination of artistic cultures and their components; the principle of the "spiral trajectory" of the educational course thematic composition; the principle of the genre and style model of the NMC; the method of immersion in culture; the method of multi-artistic representation of educational material; the principle of establishing the level of cultures affinity, which regulates the involvement of comparative analysis methods; the principle of creative assimilation of the music-language system of the NMC; the didactic game method; the "hermeneutic circle" principle; the method of creating mnemonic symbols, etc.
