The construction of a λ-shaped three side substituted alkoxy based molecular system (E1-E8) with azo-ester group was carried out and studied for liquid crystalline applications. The mesogenic behaviour and thermal stability of synthesized derivatives were checked and analyzed by POM, DSC and TGA analysis. These azo-ester based compounds show smectic C and nematic type mesomorphic properties. The observed texture patterns of the synthesized compounds are fan, broken fan, schlieren and threaded types. All derivatives shows broad temperature range of mesophase and further stabilized upto the room temperature. The structure-property relationship has been further studied to understand the effect of variable side-chain on liquid crystalline properties.

A field experiment was carried out to calculate the effect of thermal requirements and its relation to the yield and chemical content of sugar beet during two growing seasons in Upper Egypt. The temperature effects on sodium, potassium, and alpha - amino nitrogen contents. There was a high correlation between growing degree days (GDD) of three harvesting dates and three sugar beet varieties. The results indicated that increasing harvesting date increased roots and sugar yields.

Drug-resistant microorganisms are a serious problem, particularly when more strains become immune to different antimicrobials. Antibiotic resistance has now developed in several microbes. Therefore, it is crucial to build new medications that are still efficient. The amount of funding that is often available for such progress is lower than what is necessary. Kydia calycina is a Malvaceae flowering plant used in traditional Indian medicine to cure several diseases, including infections. The goal of this study was to determine whether K. Calycina has antifungal and antibacterial properties. Infections are caused by the profusion of microbes in the environment; thus, plant products and active chemicals are employed to assess the antimicrobial property of the extracts and the inhibition zone of each extract on a range of bacterial and fungal strains. The results showed that when it was applied to the species that were studied, there was a considerable decrease in the growth of bacteria. The plant was subjected to a phytochemical analysis, which was completed. This plant may be employed in the quest for bioactive natural substances that might be used as leads in the creation of pharmaceuticals. The antimicrobial mechanism of action was investigated by molecular docking, and it was determined that Hibiscoquinone B and Hibiscone C showed both antibacterial and antifungal activity.

This research aims to present empirical data on the impact of TQM approaches on sustainable practices and overall organizational performance in the Jordanian tourism industry.

The study aimed at investigating the impact of e-business on small and medium enterprises (SMEs) operational performance in terms of business flexibility, business quality, and business costs. Research data was harvested via an online questionnaire developed based on previous related works and administered to a sample consisting of 500 owners and managers of industrial and commercial SMEs in Saudi Arabia. Using SmartPLS software, the results pointed out that e-business exerts a significant positive impact on the overall SMEs operational performance. Particularly, the results revealed that e-business results in positive effects on business flexibility, business quality, and business costs. It was observed that the greater impact of e-business was on business flexibility while the impact of e-business on business quality and business costs is roughly similar. These findings suggest that the current SMEs are highly concerned with customer-oriented issues such as marketing channels, customer needs and communications, and on-time delivery. Based on these results, it was concluded that SMEs can use e-business solutions to boost their business operational capabilities with reference to flexibility, quality, and cost.

Liquidity risk (LR) is a concern in Islamic banks and may lead to major problems if not managed appropriately and planned, due to the lack of external liquidity sources for Islamic banks. However, the purpose of this article is to look at the factors that affect liquidity risk in Middle Eastern Islamic banks. To arrive at a substantial and compelling conclusion, the cross-sectional data from 30 Islamic banks was gathered between 2011 and 2022. The random effect regression model, GMM, and fixed effect regression model were all utilized. According to the report, Islamic banks in the Middle East have safe levels of liquidity. It also demonstrates how the financing-to-deposit ratio, inflation, economic growth, and return on assets all have a favorable impact on Islamic banks' liquidity risks. Furthermore, the study discovered that non-performing financing, capital sufficiency, operational effectiveness, and scale had no bearing on the liquidity issues associated with Islamic banks. This paper provided guidance regarding liquidity risk management procedures and systems in Islamic banks in order to design banking liquidity risk management policies. To avoid liquidity risks in Islamic banks, the optimal level of financing to deposit ratio must be determined, maintaining the quality of financing, reducing the non-performing loan ratio to the lowest possible level, and enabling Islamic banks to benefit from the central bank as a last resort for liquidity.

This study aims at exploring the impact of the performance of supply chain dimensions (plan-based, source-based, make-based, delivery-based, and return-based performance) on the financial performance of industrial firms. Using a questionnaire, data were collected from a sample consisting of 250 supply chain and financial managers. Analysis data via IBM SPSS and AMOS, the results showed that hypothesized effects were supported except one hypothesis. That is, the results revealed that plan-based, source-based, make-based, and delivery-based performance have significant effects on firm’ financial performance. However, there was a significant negative effect of return-based performance on financial performance. The results concluded that firms should individually influence the supply chain dimensions to address the effects of their performance on financial performance.

This study investigated the effect of logistics and policy service quality on customer trust, satisfaction, and loyalty within the quick commerce landscape in Jordan, with a particular focus on generational differences between generation Y (Gen Y) and generation Z (Gen Z) users. A survey of 719 active Q-commerce users revealed that logistics service quality (personal contact quality, shipment condition, product availability, timely product delivery, and order accuracy) significantly affected customer satisfaction, with order accuracy being the most impactful factor. Additionally, both cash on delivery and order discrepancy handling significantly affected customer trust. Finally, customer satisfaction and trust affected customer loyalty, though in multigroup analysis, their relative importance varies between generations. Gen Z prioritizes speed of delivery and less concern on personal contact with delivery personnel. On the other hand, Gen Y values product availability and cash on delivery more than the younger generation. These findings offer valuable insights for Q-commerce platforms to tailor their strategies to the distinct priorities of each generation and enhance customer trust, satisfaction, and loyalty.

The objective of the research was to determine if there is an influence of i-deals on the retention of human talent in the health networks of Satipo, Peru. The study was carried out from a quantitative approach, with a correlational-non-experimental-translational design. A questionnaire was administered to 308 workers who negotiated one or more idiosyncratic agreements between December 2023 and February 2024. Using the structural equation model, it was obtained that the i-deals of work content (i-TC) and development (i-D) have a higher level of influence on the retention of human talent (p <0.05), generating a high commitment to the organization; based on the appropriate job assignment to employees according to technical and soft skills, and aligned with their personal interests. On the other hand, flexibility (i-F) and financial (i-FI) i-deals do not influence the retention of human talent, because the remuneration is not aligned with the required professional skills. It is concluded that for the public health sector, employees prefer to have autonomy in the way they perform their work, opportunities for professional specialization rather than financial incentives.

The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of the board of directors on the economic performance of Jordanian companies listed on the Amman stock exchange (ASE) by measuring the board of administrators using a variety of indicators, including board size, board independence, and CEO duality. Economic performance is measured by going back on property and returning on equity. During the study period (2015–2020), 186 industrial corporations were examined. The study found that the indexed organizations at ASE during the years 2015–2020 showed full-size financial overall performance in accordance with Jordan's improving understanding of and application of the board of directors' traits. This study found that board size and independence had a substantial influence on financial performance. Based on the findings, the study recommends that the codes be evaluated on a regular basis and that corporations be instructed to examine corporate governance principles through legislation and regulations to encourage enterprises to follow these rules. Furthermore, board members' experience, devotion, and independence are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Stock exchanges should also conduct seminars and workshops for company managers and decision-makers to enhance understanding of effective corporate governance, especially its importance. The correlation coefficient shows a negative relationship between Board size and Board Independence with ROA, while board size and CEO duality are positive correlation with ROE. On The other side the regressions test of the effect of the variables on financial performance ratios (ROA and ROE) shows that there is a significant effect of board size and board independence on ROA and ROE. While CEO duality has an insignificant effect on both ratios ROA and ROE.
