Supply Chain Environmental Uncertainty, Competitive Advantage, and Operational Performance in Manufacturing Industry

Goal: This study investigates the impact of Supply Chain Environmental Uncertainty (SCEU) on competitive advantage and operational performance in manufacturing companies. The mediating role of competitive advantage and the moderating role of supply chain environmental uncertainty in the relationship between competitive advantage and operational performance were examined. Design/ Methodology/ Approach: This paper used quantitative approach to confirm the conceptual model. Data was collected through questionnaires from directors/operational managers in 121 large and medium-scale manufacturing companies in Southeast Sulawesi Indonesia. The analysis employs Generalized Structured Component Analysis (GSCA) to test the direct, mediating, and moderating effects of supply chain environmental uncertainty. Results: The findings demonstrate a significant positive influence of supply chain environmental uncertainty on competitive advantage and operational performance. However, competitive advantage does not significantly affect operational performance. The study reveals that competitive advantage is perfect mediator between supply chain environmental uncertainty and operational performance, while supply chain environmental uncertainty is a moderating predictor between competitive advantage and operational performance. Practical Implications: The research has implications for manufacturing company managers adapting to supply chain environmental uncertainty through supplier, customer, and technology considerations. It emphasizes the importance of adapting to supply chain environmental uncertainty to enhancing competitive advantage and operational performance in the manufacturing industry. Efforts to improve operational performance and strategically integrate competitive advantage should consider the business environment, including suppliers, customers, and technology. Limitations: This research is limited to large and medium-scale manufacturing industries, hindering generalization to other industries, particularly small-scale ones. Additionally, researchers can consider additional contextual factors such as supply chain integration, supply chain agility, and total quality management. Originality/Value: This study expands the theoretical framework of supply chain environmental uncertainty, competitive advantage, and operational performance through empirical testing of a theoretical model. The findings support the proposed model's validity and highlight the mediation role of competitive advantage and supply chain environmental uncertainty, providing a reference for future theory development and model building.

Comprehensive chromatographic profiling and structural analysis of key anticoagulant components in enoxaparin

Heparin is the most widely used anticoagulant in clinical practice, with enoxaparin being one of the most important low molecular weight heparins (LMWHs). In this study, an antithrombin III (ATIII) affinity column was used. Enoxaparin and its oligosaccharides of varying sizes, prepared using preparative size exclusion chromatography (SEC), were fractionated through the ATIII affinity column. The different affinity fractions from each oligosaccharide size were profiled using strong anion exchange (SAX) chromatography. Each peak was automatically transferred to an SEC column for desalting prior to mass spectrometry (MS) analysis, which enabled structural identification using a multiple heart-cut (MHC) 2D LC-MS system (SAX-SEC-MS). The high-affinity fraction from enoxaparin was further analyzed using the MHC 2D LC system (SEC-SAX). SAX profiles of the high-affinity oligosaccharides, prepared by both size and affinity fractionation, were consistent with those obtained by direct SEC-SAX analysis. The possible sequences of several high-affinity hexasaccharides and the domain compositions of high-affinity octa- and decasaccharides in enoxaparin were further elucidated by disaccharide analysis after manual collection of the oligosaccharides. This work advances the understanding of enoxaparin's structural features and offers a potential approach to improve the quality of enoxaparin, as well as to identify key structural motifs in heparin/LMWHs that contribute to protein binding.

Contribution of distinct components in divergent organic amendments to long-term accumulation of soil organic matter in agricultural soils: evidence from thermally assisted hydrolysis and methylation-GC/MS.

Although maintaining/improving soil organic matter (SOM) quantity through utilizing organic amendments (OAs) is a productive practice, information on OA components contributing to long-term SOM accumulation in agricultural soils remains meager. Hence, we examined soil samples from a long-term experiment with different fertilizer managements, including no fertilizer (NF), chemical fertilizer (CF) only (CF), bark compost plus CF (BC + CF), coffee residue compost plus CF (CRC + CF), cattle manure compost plus CF (CMC + CF), and cattle manure compost (CMC) or sewage sludge compost (SSC) alone at a higher application rate. SOM in those samples was physically fractionated into free particulate form (fSOM), free form occluded in aggregates (oSOM), weakly bound form (wSOM), and strongly bound form (sSOM). Analysis of structural components in OAs and SOM fractions using thermally assisted hydrolysis and methylation combined with gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (THM-GC/MS) revealed OA components that have contributed to long-term SOM accumulation in each treatment. The SSC was characterized by higher proportions of short-chain fatty acids (FAs; 50%) and other aliphatic compounds (22%). Correlation analysis suggested that these characteristics may be effective for greater C accumulation in the bulk soil and wSOM fraction. The proportion of lignin-derived phenols, e.g., 3,4-dimethoxybenzaldehyde (Vh) and 1,2-dimethoxy-4-(1,2,3-trimethoxypropyl)benzene, was high in CMC (43%), presumably vital for promoting C accumulations in the oSOM, wSOM, and sSOM fractions in the CMC treatment. The short-chain FAs in CRC and aromatic components in BC are likely important for contributing fSOM accumulation.

What drives fulfilment and repeat visits among Asian domestic travellers: the application of IGSCA and fsQCA

ABSTRACT This study examines the critical role of domestic tourism as an alternative market to international tourism post-pandemic. It analyses travel motivations alongside perceived risks and safety to assess their impact on trip fulfilment and revisiting intentions. Data from 846 respondents in China, South Korea, and Thailand revealed patterns. Integrated Generalized Structured Component Analysis (IGSCA) and Fuzzy Set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) were used to discern the relationships influencing the desire to return. Findings highlight ‘arousal’ and ‘social sharing’ as essential for low-level fulfilment, while ‘self-actualization’ and ‘social sharing’ are key for high-level fulfilment. ‘Perceived safety’ significantly affects both levels of fulfilment, which in turn affect the intention to revisit. FsQCA identified specific necessary conditions and configurations predicting the two types of fulfilment and the intention to revisit domestic destinations.

Data vulnerability and privacy risk among hotel guests who share personal data

This research explores the guests’ perception toward data vulnerability and its impact on the privacy risk, privacy concern, and the perceived benefits of sharing personal data with hotels, which is in response to rising concerns about the personal data collection for service facilitation in hotels. A proposed research framework that explains the antecedents and outcomes of hotel guests’ privacy risk and privacy concern that is related to personal data sharing was examined using the generalized structured component analysis with measurement errors incorporated (GSCAM), the necessary condition analysis (NCA), and a fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA). The results expand the antecedents → privacy concerns → outcomes (APCO) model by determining a set of salient variables, such as data access, data breach vulnerabilities, privacy risk, and concern in regards to determining hotel guests’ perceived benefits of sharing personal data. This study provides valuable insights into privacy dynamics, enabling hotel professionals to develop targeted marketing strategies prioritizing both data utilization and guest privacy. It also suggests enhancing data security measures to mitigate concerns and foster trust among guests.

Unveiling population structure and selection signatures of riverine and genetically improved rohu, Labeo rohita using genome wide SNPs.

Captive breeding, along with artificial selection can significantly impact population structure by influencing allele frequencies and driving populations towards specific adaptation. Selective sweeps are powerful forces in shaping genetic variation within populations and can drive rapid spread of beneficial alleles while simultaneously reducing genetic diversity in localized regions of the genome. The present work was undertaken to assess the genetic structure and consequences of artificial selection in 10th generation of genetically improved rohu by comparing with wild populations. The present study used 11,022 high-quality genome wide SNPs to compare the population genetic structure and signatures of selection between Jayanti rohu population and its wild counterpart. Outlier analysis revealed presence of 14 adaptive SNPs, out of which 5 were classified to be under decisive selection pressure. Notably, Jayanti rohu (JR) displayed 297 private alleles exclusive to its population. Chromosomes 7 and 16 emerged as potential hotspots containing a majority of the identified SNPs. Structure and principal component analysis revealed two distinct clusters, effectively distinguishing the JR and wild rohu populations. Phylogenetic analysis indicated a separate cluster of JR population distant from wild groups. The results of present study shall help in elucidating patterns of genetic variation and characterizing selection signatures associated with captive bred and natural populations of rohu. The genomic resources generated through this work shall be helpful in improving the traceability of selectively bred germplasm for developing future strategies of genetic management.

Integrated Management System To Improve Corporate Sustainability Performance The Case Study In The Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Industry

This study aims to investigate the mediating factors of achieving quality, environmental and social performance concerning the sustainability of pharmaceutical manufacturing companies. Effective implementation of an integrated management system is essential in achieving business process performance to improve the company’s sustainability performance. The priority of the pharmaceutical industry is to satisfy the requirements of quality assurance and product safety. Thus, a balance is required toward implementing an integrated management system. This research was conducted in one of the pharmaceutical manufacturing companies in Indonesia. Data were collected using questionnaires and interviews with respondents and analysed using generalised structural component analysis (GSCA). Results of this study show that implementing an integrated management system can improve social performance and corporate sustainability. The implications of this study indicate that the balanced implementation of the integrated management system has not been effectively achieved. Consequently, a strategy is required to evaluate the quality and environmental performance achievements and to improve the implementation of the integrated management system in a balanced manner.

Contribution of groundwater-borne nutrients to eutrophication potential and the share of benthic algae in a large lowland river

Groundwater inflow can be a significant source of nutrients for riverine ecosystems, which can affect eutrophication i.e., the elevated primary production and the corresponding accumulation of algal biomass. Experimental and modelling work has shown that benthic algae (autotrophic biofilms) in particular benefit, as they have direct access to the inflowing groundwater-borne nutrients. Primarily the supply of phosphorus (P) enhances pelagic algal biomass, as it is the limiting nutrient for primary production in most freshwater systems. In this study, we estimate the effect of groundwater inflow on overall eutrophication of a large, European lowland river and tested its seasonal effect on biofilms in particular. We calculated the effects on overall eutrophication during summer according to the estimated input of groundwater-borne P and the C:P stoichiometry of planktonic algae in the Elbe River. Our model indicated that these diffuse P inputs have the potential to significantly increase eutrophication. Groundwater-P can contribute up to 1.5 t/d PO4 over the investigated 450 km stretch of the Elbe River under low flow conditions. This would result in an additional planktonic load of about 46 t/d of particulate organic carbon, thereby contributing to eutrophication at the regional scale in this river. In contrast, at the local scale, biofilms were collected seasonally from artificial substrata exposed in the river either in hydrogeologically active areas with groundwater inflow, or in areas of varying hydraulic connectivity. Analyses of biofilm macronutrients, structural components and biofilm community composition show distinct effects of season, hydrogeology and groundwater inflow. The dominant predictors were season and the interaction between hydrogeology and groundwater. Benthic eutrophication is most likely to occur in autumn in areas of loose rock with high groundwater inflow. The strong interaction of environmental factors in determining benthic eutrophication highlights the need to assess these factors in combination rather than in isolation.

Shear buckling behaviour of sinusoidal corrugated web girders with stiffened circular openings

The mechanical properties and failure behaviours of three different specimens of sinusoidal corrugated web girders with stiffened circular openings were investigated experimentally and numerically. The experimental outcomes showed similarities in the mechanical properties and failure model of the specimens, despite differences in the geometric dimensions. The numerical simulations further confirmed the buckling as well as post-buckling behaviours of the experimental results. The influence of initial geometric imperfections on the shear buckling load of the corrugated web girders was quantified and neglecting geometric imperfections led to an overestimation of the actual shear load capacity, emphasizing the importance of considering imperfections in the design of structural components. The investigation results showed that the shear load capacities of the girders were significantly affected by the thickness of the opening stiffeners, and that the presence of openings reduced the load carrying capacity and the overall stiffness of the beams, whereas the existence of opening stiffeners increased both the ultimate load bearing capacity and the global stiffness. However, the strengthening effect of the opening stiffener becomes less pronounced beyond a specific thickness. Besides, a comparison between hand calculations and numerical simulations show that the recently developed calculation method provided a more reliable prediction of the shear buckling resistance of corrugated web with stiffened openings. This investigation provides valuable guidance on the shear buckling behaviour of sinusoidal corrugated web girders with circular opening stiffeners, thus benefiting the design and analysis of steel structural components with sinusoidal corrugated web.

Reverse Engineering Workflows for the Structural Assessment of Historical Buildings

ABSTRACT Supported by advancements in 3D scanning and parametric modeling tools within the architecture, engineering, and construction sectors, reverse engineering processes for cultural heritage (CH) have recently gained popularity. While many studies have focused on simple 3D reconstructions to create virtual environments, a specialized subarea of this research field has targeted more specific digitization objectives, including, among many, structural analysis of building components. This emerging field has not yet been systematically developed due to the intrinsic challenges associated with CH. Within this context, this paper proposes and describes a reverse engineering-based method that utilizes terrestrial laser scanning and visual programming (VP) to analyze displacements and deformations that occurred over time in historical masonry buildings and applied it to the timber trusses, masonry facades, and columns of two selected Italian case study buildings. This method allows for comparing the surveyed condition of these components, considered the “deformed state”, with their ideal configuration, reconstructed using VP algorithms, considered the “original state”. The outcomes of this comparison facilitate the investigation of the components’ structural behavior and support joint considerations to assess the overall condition of the investigated building, providing helpful knowledge for guiding structural improvement interventions.

TERM FORMATION IN THE LEXICAL-SEMANTIC FIELD “CHEMICAL ENGINEERING” IN MODERN ENGLISH: STRUCTURAL AND DERIVATIONAL ASPECTS

Background. In modern linguistics, research is being carried out on the methods of term formation in the lexical-semantic fields of various spheres of human activity. The purpose of the article is to study term formation in modern English in the lexical-semantic field “chemical engineering” based on structural and derivational aspects. The structural aspect means component analysis, which allows us to identify the number of special lexical units in a terminological combination. Materials and methods. A sample of special lexical units (363) from English-language articles in the chemical industry is presented as material for the study. Descriptive, structural, typological, as well as the method of component analysis were used to study the material. Results. The most common and less common structural models have been identified based on the partial compatibility of components, as well as the lexical length of special lexical units, i.e. the number of components in a terminological combination. The morphological features of special lexical units have been determined. Analysis of grammatical derivation allowed us to identify linear models, including affixation and compounding, as well as non-linear models represented by abbreviations, for example, abbreviations, combinations with abbreviations, nomenclature units, combinations with nomenclature units and word mergers with truncation of word stems. The semantic aspect of the analysis of special lexical units allowed us to identify a few anthroponyms, as well as units with internal predication. Scope of application of the results. The results of the study can be used for further research on term formation in lexical-semantic fields.

Intelligent Hysteresis Modeling for Capturing Structural Features via Multi-Physics Guided Neural Network and Its Earthquake Resistant Test

ABSTRACT The hysteresis model simplifies the relationship between resilience and deformation in seismic performance analysis of structural components. However, accurately capturing structural performance poses a challenge due to the intricate nature of hysteresis data. To enhance precision, this study introduces a multi-physics-guided neural network model. This innovative approach integrates explicit hysteresis models with an implicit network to create a robust hybrid model. The network architecture is grounded in physical principles, with the loss function incorporating physical parameter relationships for effective training. Through quasi-static testing, this approach demonstrates its robust adaptability and precision to the unique hysteretic curves of diverse components.

Systematic Literature Review: The Use of SEM in Journal of Travel & Tourism Marketing (JTTM) Between 2020 – 2022

The aim of this study was to categorize and analyze the patterns of structural equation modeling (SEM) used in research in the travel and tourism industry, published in the journal of travel & tourism marketing (JTTM) between 2020 and 2022. This review seeks to provide an updated literature overview and identify gaps in the literature relevant to future research by employing the systematic literature review (SLR) method. The findings of the study indicate that factor-based SEM has been more frequently used compared to composite-based SEM. However, for future research, there should be more emphasis on composite-based SEM, particularly utilizing techniques such as integrated generalized structured component analysis (IGSCA) and partial least square consistent structural equation modeling (PLSc-SEM). These methods are hybrid techniques that can analyze both factor and composite variables within the same model. Additionally, this study has categorized research in the travel and tourism industry into eight major themes: 1) destination, 2) attraction, 3) hotel/resort, 4) airline, 5) restaurant, 6) social media, 7) festival/event, and 8) travel agency. For future research, there should be a focus on the festival/event and travel agency themes, as there is a relatively limited body of research within these themes.

Historical spread routes of wild walnuts in Central Asia shaped by man-made and nature.

Walnuts have substantial economic value and are of significant interest being a wild-cultivated species. The study has re-sequenced the entire genome of the wild walnut, aligning it with the walnut reference genome, to identify 2,021,717 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). These were used to examine the genetics of 130 wild walnut samples collected from three countries. Utilizing structural and principal component analysis, the walnut samples from Central Asia were classified into four populations: Ili ah in Xinjiang (I), Dushanbe region in Tajikistan (II), Sary-Chelek, Arslanbob in Kara-Alma regions of Kyrgyzstan (III), and Kok-Tundy region of Kyrgyzstan (IV). The 4 groups showed large differences in nucleotide diversity, population differentiation, and linkage disequilibrium decay, as well as gene flow among them. The present geographic distribution of these populations does not align with the genetic distribution pattern as the populations of Central Asian wild walnuts have experienced similar population dynamics in the past, i.e., the highest effective population size at ca. 6 Ma, two sharp population declines at 6 and 0.2 Ma, and convergence at ca. 0.2 Ma. The genetic distribution patterns are better explained by human activity, notably through archaeological findings of walnut use and the influence of the Silk Road, rather than by current geographic distributions.

Probabilistic fracture mechanics analyses of a reactor pressure vessel using the irradiation embrittlement evaluation based on the Bayesian nonparametric method

In the structural integrity assessment of an embrittled reactor pressure vessel (RPV) based on probabilistic fracture mechanics (PFM), it is crucial to consider both of the mean value and the uncertainty of the embrittlement prediction. Typically, the embrittlement prediction uncertainty is given by a normal distribution, and its standard deviation is determined from the residuals of the measured and predicted values of all data used to develop the embrittlement prediction method. Therefore, the same uncertainty is assumed regardless of neutron fluence and the available data. To overcome this issue, the Japan Atomic Energy Agency recently developed the embrittlement prediction method based on machine learning and Bayesian statistics, i.e., the Bayesian nonparametric (BNP) method, and introduced it to the PFM analysis code. The BNP method can predict the probability distribution according to data scarcity and provide more reasonable uncertainty because it estimates significant uncertainties where the scatter of actual measured data is large and the number of data is small. In this study, PFM analysis for a Japanese model RPV in a pressurized water reactor is conducted using the PFM analysis of structural components in aging light water reactors, where the embrittlement probability distribution calculated using the BNP method is used. Furthermore, the effects of different embrittlement prediction methods and uncertainties on the failure frequency of RPVs are investigated in the PFM analyses, and the results are presented.

Tracing the origins of Plasmodium vivax resurgence after malaria elimination on Aneityum Island in Vanuatu

BackgroundFive years after successful malaria elimination, Aneityum Island in Vanuatu experienced an outbreak of Plasmodium vivax of unknown origin in 2002. Epidemiological investigations revealed several potential sources of P. vivax. We aimed to identify the genetic origin of P. vivax responsible for the resurgence.MethodsFive P. vivax microsatellite markers were genotyped using DNA extracted from archived blood samples. A total of 69 samples from four P. vivax populations was included: 29 from the outbreak in 2002, seven from Aneityum in 1999 and 2000, 18 from visitors to Aneityum in 2000, and 15 from nearby Tanna Island in 2002. A neighbour-joining phylogenetic tree was constructed to elucidate the relationships among P. vivax isolates. STRUCTURE and principal component analysis were used to assess patterns of genetic structure.ResultsHere we show distinct genetic origins of P. vivax during the outbreak on Aneityum. While the origin of most P. vivax lineages found during the outbreak remains unidentified, limited genetic diversity among these lineages is consistent with a rapid expansion from a recent common ancestor. Contemporaneous P. vivax from neighboring Tanna and potential relapse of P. vivax acquired from other islands in 1999 and 2000 are also identified as minor contributors to the outbreak.ConclusionsMultiple reintroductions of P. vivax after elimination highlight the high receptivity and vulnerability to malaria resurgence in island settings of Vanuatu, despite robust surveillance and high community compliance to control measures.

Communicative linguistics through the lens of gestalt theory

Relevance. The relevance of this study is conditioned upon the importance of developing communicative competence, exploring communicative tactics and strategies used in dialogic speech, effective correlation of verbal and nonverbal codes, specifically the coexistence of various syntactic constructions within the text field. Purpose. The purpose of this study is to consider linguistic means, namely syntactic structures of a simple and complex sentence, using a gestalt approach with the allocation of the centre (figure) and periphery (ground). Methodology. The main method of research is theoretical understanding of problems related to communicative activity, using evidence from modern scientific studies, the use of transactional, structural, pragmatic, and linguistic analysis of verbal and nonverbal components during communicative activity. Results. This paper analyses the development of key gestalt structures using the examples of the most used syntactic constructions in communicative practice, specifically predicate and non-predicate simple and complex sentences. The study identified key gestalt structures in dialogic speech (interrogative, emotive, elliptical), with examples of basic syntactic constructions. Attention was focused on the functional use of key speech acts (expressiveness, representation) and communicative tactics (hyperbolisation, increasing and decreasing significance, self-presentation, juxtaposition). The role of nonverbal ways of transmitting information, social factors in the choice of linguistic means in the aspect of communicative load and communicative significance is indicated. Conclusions. Gestalt techniques in communication prove effective for addressing psychological issues and enhancing communicative impact. Keywords: simple sentence; syntactic structure; figure; ground; speech act
