INCREASING THE REPRODUCIBILITY OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH WORKS: A CASE STUDY USING THE ENVIRONMENT CODE-FIRST FRAMEWORK
Get PDFObjective: The purpose of this paper is to present a case study on how a recently proposed reproducibility framework named Environment Code-First (ECF) based on the Infrastructure-as-Code approach can improve the implementation and reproduction of computing environments by reducing complexity and manual intervention.
Methodology: The study compares the manual way of implementing a pipeline and the automated method proposed by the ECF framework, showing real metrics regarding time consumption, efforts, manual intervention, and platform agnosticism. It details the steps needed to implement the computational environment of a bioinformatics pipeline named MetaWorks from the perspective of the scientist who owns the research work. Also, we present the steps taken to recreate the environment from the point of view of one who wants to reproduce the published results of a research work.
Findings and Conclusion: The results demonstrate considerable benefits in adopting the ECF framework, particularly in maintaining the same applicational behavior across different machines. Such empirical evidence underscores the significance of reducing manual intervention, as it ensures the consistent recreation of the environment as many times as needed, especially by non-original researchers.
Originality/Value: Verifying published findings in bioinformatics through independent validation is challenging, mainly when accounting for differences in software and hardware to recreate computational environments. Reproducing a computational environment that closely mimics the original proves intricate and demands a significant investment of time. This study contributes to educate and assist researchers in enhancing the reproducibility of their work by creating self-contained computational environments that are highly reproducible, isolated, portable, and platform-agnostic
FOREST FIRES RISK IN A SEMI ARID REGION: A CASE STUDY IN WESTERN ALGERIA
Get PDFPurpose: The objective of this study was to measure the fire risk of forests and to compare areas with high sensitivity to forest fires.
Theoretical Framework: Many authors have demonstrated the fragility of Algerian forests in the face of fires (Belhadj, 2003; Souidi et al., 2010 and 2017). In this research paper, the researchers focused on identifying the factors responsible for the risk of forest fires in Algeria using a state-of-the-art tool, the Geographic Information System (GIS). The researchers explained a scientific process for exploring new indicators using GIS, and showed how to develop a forest fire risk map.
Design/Methodology/Approach: The elaboration of the fire risk map requires the application of a model set up, and tested on forest areas in the Mediterranean region. The applied model involves the three main factors of forest fire risk assessment: topomorphology, fuel, and human occupation.
Findings: According to the results obtained, our study area is dominated by a very high risk index. In addition, more than half of the surface area of our study zone is located in topomorphological conditions that are highly conducive to the multiplication of fires and can increase the risk of forest fires breaking out. This study will help us to better control the risk of fires and to manage fire-fighting operations in the field.
Research, Practical & Social Implications: Mapping the risk of forest fires using GIS will help land managers and planners to identify sensitive areas for better preservation and intervention in the event of fire.
Originality/Value: The results show that the number of forest fires is increasing over time and that managing them is becoming increasingly difficult. The use of a GIS for all stakeholder and managers will make it possible to combat forest fires
INFLUENCE OF ONLINE REVIEWS ON CONSUMERS' HOTEL BOOKING INTENTIONS IN THAILAND: TRUST AND VALUE AS MEDIATING FACTOR
Get PDFPurpose: The objective of this study is to explore the influence of online reviews on hotel booking intentions among consumers in Thailand, considering the mediating effects of trust and perceived value.
Theoretical Framework: The Online Reviews (OR) construct, adapted from Wen et al. (2021), and the Trust (TRT) construct, assessed with measures from Ladhari and Michaud (2015). The Trust scale included four slightly modified items aligned with study objectives. The Value (VAL) construct was evaluated using measures from S. Y. Kim et al. (2017). Lastly, Booking Intention (BI) was assessed using four aspects adopted from Chakraborty and Biswal (2019).
Design/methodology/approach: This study investigates the impact of online reviews on hotel booking intentions, employing trust and value as mediating factors. Utilizing a quantitative design through a survey conducted in Thailand, purposive sampling was employed to ensure diversity, with a minimum sample size of 379 determined to achieve a 0.05% sampling error at 95% confidence. Statistical methods, including a 5-point Likert scale, were utilized for data analysis, measure validation, and model reliability assessment, employing SEM analysis with ADENCO software. Descriptive statistics offered insights, contributing to a comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing individuals in Thailand when initiating and managing social entrepreneurial ventures. The study's methodology ensures robustness, reliability, and addresses potential biases through thorough sampling, statistical techniques, and validation procedures.
Findings: The results emphasize the substantial influence of online reviews on trust, value perception, and hotel booking intentions. Demographic insights reveal sample characteristics and response variations. These findings deepen our understanding of factors influencing consumers' decisions in hotel booking.
Research, Practical & Social implications: The demographic analysis conducted in this study reveals a gender distribution of 27.5% male and 72.5% female participants, primarily aged over 55 (49.1%), with 67.5% holding bachelor's degrees and earning between 30,001-50,000 baht (35.4%). Notably, civil servants and state enterprise employees dominate the occupational landscape (44%). Employing structural equation modeling (SEM), the study confirms that trust and value perception mediate the relationship. It elucidates significant connections between online reviews and trust, online reviews and value perception, and trust and booking intentions. The model remarkably clarifies a substantial portion of the variance in the dependent variables, ranging from 53.5% to 65.7%, highlighting the influential role of online reviews in shaping trust, value perception, and booking intentions. This study delves into the impact of online reviews on hotel booking intentions, with a specific focus on trust and value perception as mediators. Key findings encompass: 1) Online reviews significantly influence consumers' hotel booking intentions, playing a pivotal role in decision-making. 2) Trust and value perception mediate the relationship between online reviews and booking intentions, underscoring their profound impact on consumer behavior. 3) Employing a quantitative research design and survey data collection, the study provides systematic insights from a diverse participant sample. 4) The research not only supports existing literature on online reviews, trust, value perception, and hotel booking intentions but also contributes novel insights to these domains.
Originality/Value: This study uncovers essential roles of online reviews, trust, and value perception in hotel booking, enlightening practitioners and researchers on digital-era consumer behavior

DA DESCONSIDERAÇÃO DA PERSONALIDADE JURÍDICA NO PROCESSO FALIMENTAR
Get PDFObjectives: The present work aims to analyze the application of the theory of piercing of the corporate veil in bankruptcy, and what will be the effects on the partners and affiliated companies. It also aims to demonstrate how the cumulation of the two institutes will take place and how the corporate chain can be held responsible.
Theoretical Framework: The analysis of the proposed problem was based on the theory of piercing the corporate veil, as well as the theories of technical reality, on which article 45 of the Brazilian Civil Code was based. With regard to the constitutional basis, the principles of free enterprise and the mitigated finalist theory, adopted by the Consumer Protection Code, were collated.
Method: The research was carried out mainly through the methodology of data collection contained in bibliographic survey and jurisprudential decisions.
Results: Through the study of the aforementioned sources, it was found that it is possible to extend the bankruptcy effects through the piercing of the corporate veil, however, it is necessary that the requirements be unequivocally proven, under penalty of prolonging the bankruptcy unduly for several partners and nearby companies indiscriminately, causing the ruin of the entire corporate chain.
Discussion: The problem identified consisted of verifying permission to extend the bankruptcy effects to partners and affiliated companies, and what are the requirements for this, in view of the need to protect companies, avoiding successive bankruptcies.
Research Implications: The study developed results in the proper application of the theory of piercing the corporate veil in the bankruptcy process, appropriately guided by the principles of social function and preservation of the company, which will serve to support caution in the prolongation of bankruptcy.
Originality/Value: Considering the non-confrontation of the problem of this article by other authors so far, the work started from an innovative approach, which will guide the interpretation and application of the rules inserted in the bankruptcy legislation by the changes that came into force from 2022.O presente trabalho analisou a aplicação da teoria da desconsideração da personalidade jurídica na falência, e quais serão os efeitos perante os sócios e sociedades coligadas. O presente estudo objetiva demonstrar como se dará a cumulação dos dois institutos e como a cadeia societária poderá ser responsabilizada. A problemática da pesquisa consiste na verificação de permissão para estender os efeitos falimentares para os sócios e sociedades coligadas, e quais os requisitos para tanto, tendo em vista, a necessidade de proteção das sociedades, evitando-se que ocorram sucessivas quebras. A pesquisa metodológica se deu principalmente através de doutrina e jurisprudência. Assim, através do estudo constatou-se que é possível estender os efeitos falimentares através da desconsideração da personalidade jurídica, todavia, faz-se necessário que os requisitos sejam inequivocamente comprovados, sob pena de prolongar a falência de modo indevido para diversos sócios e sociedades próximas de forma indiscriminada, causando a ruína de toda cadeia societária. Por fim, não há que se olvidar da aplicação dos princípios da função social e da preservação da empresa, que servirão para fundamentar a cautela no prolongamento da falência
THE IMPACT OF IMPOSED COVID-19 MEASURES ON BELGIAN HIGHER EDUCATION STUDENTS
Get PDFObjective: The objective of this study is to explore how higher education students behave when they are confronted with imposed measures that provide temporal cues, also called organizational temporal structures, and how their behavior evolves with time.
Theoretical Framework: The Temporal Cognitive-Affective Processing System (T-CAPS), developed by Shipp and Richardson (2021) is used as the overarching theory to study the phenomenon. The theory describes five possible behavioral responses when individuals are confronted with organizational temporal structures.
Method: The study uses a mixed-method design including surveys and interviews during three large COVID-19 waves in Belgium. In total, 1246 students filled in the survey and 30 interviews were carried out.
Results and Discussion: The findings suggest that, in general, students mostly complied to the imposed measures. Especially in the beginning of the pandemic, resistance was almost non-existent. However, resistance increased over time, particularly when measures interfered with social life. Our qualitative data provides more insight into the reasoning behind indicated behavioral responses. Convenience appeared to be an important reason for compliance with remote learning and resistance towards the restrictions in social contact increased because of their deteriorating effect on mental health.
Research Implications: Our research gives rise to recommendations aimed at governments, educational institutions and people entrusted with educational policy making, as it provides better insight into when and why students comply to new regulations.
Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature by applying the conceptually developed T-CAPS in an empirical setting and as a result validates propositions related to the theory
