School Heads’ Accountability in School Management
Authors: Rose G. Pagunsan Cherry , Moyani Jr. Gregorio
Published: May 2024

School heads are considered persons in authority who manage the school and are considered the pillars of the educational system. Along with their authority, they are accountable for the outcomes of the school operations, programs, and projects. In this context, this paper determined the school heads’ levels of accountability in school management in a District, in a first-class municipality, in Negros Occidental during the School Year 2022-2023. Data needed for this descriptive study was collected from 133 respondents, mostly senior educators with bachelor's degrees, using a self-made survey questionnaire that passed the rigorous test of validity and reliability. The ensuing analysis showed school heads possessing a very high level of accountability in the domain of focusing on teaching and learning. However, in the domain of leading strategically, managing school operations and resources, developing self and others, and building connections, the level of accountability was observed to be high. The perception of school heads' accountability varied based on profile variables such as age, length of service, and highest educational attainment. Younger teachers and those with shorter length of service perceived higher levels of accountability. Moreover, teachers with lower educational attainment attributed higher levels of accountability across all domains. The findings of this study call for the school heads’ and those aspiring to become school heads to the importance of practicing accountability as leaders of the school, for more efficient  and effective school leaders and eventually improve the level of school-based management.

Published: May 2024

O transtorno depressivo maior (TDM), mais conhecido como depressão, é uma doença mental multifatorial complexa, com envolvimento de diversos sistemas biológicos, que afeta mais de 300 milhões de pessoas no mundo todo. Os estudos para compreender a neurobiologia e fisiopatologia da depressão são realizados a várias décadas. O presente estudo tem como objetivo descrever a hipótese da inflamação e seu envolvimento na fisiopatologia do TDM.  Se trata de uma revisão de literatura, a partir de artigos científicos do banco de dados Pubmed dentre 2000 a 2022. A hipótese da monoamina é citada mundialmente como causadora da depressão, por causar um ‘’desequilíbrio químico’’, porém as evidências atuais são desfavoráveis contra a manutenção da hipótese como causadora da depressão. O eixo HPA e a inflamação tem sido hipóteses bem aceitas na sociedade científica. A inflamação propriamente dita, apresenta um apoio grande por parte dos estudos, como os de neuroimagem e estudos em cérebros post mortem com ativação microglial, pois, observou-se elevados níveis de marcadores inflamatórios, como IL-1β, IL,2, IL-6 e TNF-α, em pacientes com depressão, que poderia levar a lesão neuronal. As evidências atuais apoiam a hipótese da inflamação na depressão, porém mais estudos são necessários para confirmar se os processos inflamatórios alteram estruturalmente e funcionalmente o SNC em pacientes com TDM.
The impact of the financial inclusion on multidimensional poverty at household level in Vietnam in 2020
Authors:   Thuongmai University, Trịnh Thị Hường
Published: May 2024

The relationship between financial inclusion and poverty is of interest to governments and researchers worldwide, including Vietnam. The research focuses on assessing the current status of financial inclusion at the household level in Vietnam in 2020 and its impact on multidimensional poverty. The study employs principal component analysis and a logistic regression model. Based on data from the Household Living Standards Survey, the study shows that the assessment of the financial inclusion differs between ecological regions, with households living in the Red River Delta and Southeast regions having the highest level of financial inclusion. An increase in financial inclusion at the household level has a statistically significant impact on reducing multidimensional poverty (relative risk reduces by 0.5 times). Based on research results, sustainable multidimensional poverty reduction policies can be implemented in combination with comprehensive financial inclusion development strategies. Furthermore, factors such as region, education, and occupation of the household head need to be considered when addressing poverty reduction and promoting financial inclusion.
The impact of financial crisis on bank income diversification
Authors:   Faculty of Economics and Business, Phenikaa University, Nguyễn Thành Công , Trần Việt Dũng ,   Banking Academy of Vietnam
Published: May 2024

Using data of 3,695 commercial banks from 142 countries over the period 2002- 2021, our OLS estimates with multiple fixed effects and two-stage least squares approach provide evidence that banking crisis significantly increases the level of bank income diversification, especially large banks. As the business model of small banks focuses on traditional lending activities, income diversification of small banks is not affected by banking crisis. Currency crisis and sovereign debt crisis are not significant drivers of bank income diversification. Tightening regulations on bank activity restrictions and capital stringency helps to cushion the impact of financial crises on bank income diversification. Our findings provide a comprehensive view of the impact of financial crisis on bank income diversification as well as the roles of some bank regulations in times of financial crisis. Some policy implications are also provided for policymakers to implement appropriate policies that reduce bank risktaking during periods of financial crisis.

Authors:   Department of Business Administration, Kampala International University, Uganda, Muhame Hussein
Published: May 2024

The SACCO is faced with difficulties, according to KYAPS's 2021 audit report, including incredible financial reports resulting from material misstatements, material uncertainty from board members and management, loan applicants forging documents, receipts for nonexistent assets and transactions, dishonest details provided by borrowers, and a higher loan default rate. The present study aimed at establishing the relationship between monitoring and evaluation and credibility of financial statements, risk assessment on the credibility of financial statements, the relationship between Internal Audit and credibility of financial statements, a case of Kyamuhunga Peoples’ Cooperative Savings and Credit Society. Correlational research designs were used in this study. Self-administered organized survey questions and interview guides were used. 63 respondents from the KYAPS SACCO participated in this study. SPSS- version 26.0 was used for analysis to obtain descriptive statistics. Pearson linear correlation coefficient and regression analysis was used for analysis and thus there is a significant and positive relationship between monitoring and evaluation and credibility of financial statements as shown by correlation coefficient of 0.740 and P value .000<0.05., risk assessment and credibility of financial statements with 0.733 and p value .000<0.05., and internal audit and credibility of financial statements with correlation coefficient of 0.788 and p value .000<0.05. The findings of the study indicate that there is a significant positive relationship between monitoring and evaluation and credibility of financial statements in KYAPS suggesting that an improvement in monitoring and evaluation leads to improved credibility of financial statements as indicated by the findings, effective implementation of risk assessment results into Credible Financial Statements and that an improvement in Internal audit leads to attainment of credible financial statements. SACCO managers should strengthen the monitoring and evaluation to ensure improved accountability and hence credible financial statements, Risk assessment is emphasized by management to carry out business in an orderly and efficient manner and management should always keep them informed of any new internal controls introduced so as to ensure their effective implementation since they are the very people to implement the policies.

Published: May 2024

This study aimed to assess the prevalence of preterm birth and its associated factors among mothers delivered at Lira Regional Referral Hospital in Lira District in 2022. A hospital-based cross-sectional study and non-probability systematic sampling technique were employed to assess the prevalence of preterm birth and its associated factors among mothers delivered at Lira Regional Referral Hospital between August 2022 and November 2022. The normative sample was N-325; however, only 278 were analysed. Preterm birth and its associated factors were measured using a face-to-face pre-test interview, and additional data was extracted from medical records, an antenatal care chart, and a baby chart. Data was collected, coded, sorted, and processed using manual compilation and analysed using SPSS Version 25. Results showed that the prevalence of preterm birth was at 14%, mid-upper arm circumference p>0.000, baby delivered p>0.002, birth weight p>0.000, antenatal care number of times attended p>0.001, urinary tract infection p>0.000, premature rupture of membrane p>0.000, antepartum haemorrhage p>0.000, and pregnancy-induced hypertension p>0.000 were significantly associated with preterm birth. Preterm birth was more likely to occur in mothers who didn’t attend ANC and was higher in mothers who got PROM, UTI, APH, and PIH. Early detection of diseases, especially hypertension, hyperemesis gravidarum, and UTI, as well as improving health care quality delivery and carrying out community health education and awareness campaigns, can reduce the prevalence of preterm birth.

Authors: Spasojević-Brkić Vesna , Janev Nemanja , Petrović Nikola , Bugarić Uglješa
Published: May 2024

Numerous authors have demonstrated the effectiveness of the risk-based approach in the mining sector. However, the majority of earlier research has ignored the role that auxiliary machines, in total risk management play in favor of heavy machinery. This study aims to analyze backhoe loader maintenance data in order to offer a risk assessment approach for auxiliary machinery in open-pit mines. The severity, occurrence, and detection of failures were the three component indicators that together determined the overall risk, as per the FMEA method. The purpose of the Pareto chart was to grade the detection indicator by illustrating the failure type distribution and distinction. The downtime data statistical testing results enabled analytical calculation of the system's reliability and mean downtime, which in turn allowed for the evaluation of the frequency and severity of failures. As a result, a framework for evaluation was put out, supported by data that was gathered, and included a three-dimensional risk assessment matrix. The focus of further research efforts should be on expanding the present sample data in sense of quantity and also to analysis of other machines in the whole mining system.

Published: May 2024

An appropriate maintenance strategy can maximize a machine's capacity and economic lifetime and also produce yearly savings of several million euros. That being said, a risk assessment approach can help companies identify the systemic bottlenecks that are interfering with their development and cut a large portion of their profit each year. This paper presents a hybrid reliability-Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) methodology to assess the risk associated with belt conveyor systems, particularly in open-pit mining environments. By integrating severity, occurrence, and detection indicators, a 3D risk assessment matrix was developed. Using data from conveyor system maintenance, including downtime and failure occurrences, chi-square tests to analyze system reliability and mean downtime were applied. The methodology allows for a nuanced understanding of the frequency and severity of failures, enabling more informed decision-making about maintenance strategies. The paper highlights the economic implications of system failures and the potential for substantial financial savings through optimized maintenance planning.

Published: May 2024

The mining industry has been steadily expanding annually to keep up with the increasing demands. Consequently, used machinery needs to work efficiently, which indicates that unexpected downtimes should be at the minimum possible level. Proper identification and risk evaluation of the potential breakdown is the most important element for efficient equipment maintenance and breakdown prevention. This research has focused on its reliability function determination and analyzed the consequences of downtime and the cost of repairs over a period of one year. Delays on the observed mining machine were classified according to the type of downtime: mechanical, technological, power/electricity, and downtime due to external influences. Input elements for risk assessment were severity of consequence (S), probability of occurrence (O), and failure detectability (D). The method used in this paper is based on the cost of maintenance and the impact of bulldozer breakdowns on reliability in order to maintain profitability and, by reducing the number of unwanted events caused by sudden failure of parts, increase safety during operation. Results show that the monitored bulldozer belongs to the lowest defined risk class, so its use is economically justifiable.

Workforce wellbeing is of strategic importance in new economy, not only for enterprises but for SMEs as well. Fatigue is one of key factors which affect workforce wellbeing, particularly in risk-sensitive environments such as manufacturing. Despite that importance of fatigue is identified in literature, this aspect is not much leveraged in existing solutions aiming high levels of effectiveness by optimal operation planning and scheduling. In this paper, a solution aiming optimal fatigue-aware planning and scheduling in manufacturing based on semantic knowledge graphs is presented. Thanks to adoption of ontologies, our approach enables seamless integration of heterogeneous data sources including legacy ERP systems, external services as well as sensors such as IoT wearable devices. Complementing the planning and scheduling solution, two additional apps are developed: 1) mobile app for physiological data acquisition using wearable device for purpose of fatigue estimation 2) shopfloor monitoring web app with machine operation instructions incorporated.
The future of coal as a new generation of energy and potential risks
Authors: Radosavljević Slobodan
Published: May 2024

Until now, coal as a resource has been the most reliable energy source on the world market. The great world crisis caused by a sudden pandemic almost confirmed this fact. The year 2023 records larger certain shifts in coal consumption that are diametrically opposed. While coal consumption is increasing in some countries, some of the world's countries/a smaller number are experiencing a slight stagnation to a decrease in consumption. All previous efforts to significantly limit the use of coal as an energy resource did not yield satisfactory results. The year 2024 brings new strategic projections and orientation towards other energy sources to the detriment of coal, and special importance is given to investments in energy from nuclear power plants of various configurations, but according to the needs of users. And this could mark the current and next decades in all parts of the world, including in Serbia. Drastically growing energy needs open up new formats of energy configurations in the world as well as their transversal to users/consumers. It is difficult to predict whether such transformations will take place quickly and how long it will take. This is because this kind of transformation is the biggest/never recorded and it is decomposed into individual levels, according to the size of the countries, their economy, the achieved level of energy technologies and development. Risk potentials in the newly created energy turbulent configurations in the world energy redistribution seem to have never been higher and with the synergy of influence, they become very complex for detection and positioning from the aspect of their gradual reduction or minimization. The paper analyzes the newly created energy circumstances and the place of coal as an energy resource with the mapping of potential risks.
Cost - benefit analysis
Authors: Ivaniš Miloš
Published: May 2024

In order to estimate realistically the investment process and assess the justification of realization of an investment project, it is necessary to establish and analyze the total effect brought by the realization of certain investments. The effects of an investment project can be assessed and analyzed both from the aspect of a company and from the aspect of a wider social society. Companies as investors are most often interested only in direct economic effects of an investment which can be measured with sufficient exactness and expressed in quantitative terms, whereas they are usually not interested in indirect economic effects which are harder to measure and express quantitatively. However, it should be borne in mind that some investments are such that they must be considered and assessed, first of all, from a broader aspect (e.g. in transportation system, energetics and alike). In that context, cost-benefit analysis presents the method used at making investment decisions which influence the development of broader social society - certain region, economy, society as a whole. The aim of this supplement is to point to the basic elements of cost-benefit methodology for the assessment of investment projects.

Assessment of a Full-Electric Floating Liquefied Natural Gas Concept for Harsh Sea State Conditions at Remote Ultra-Deepwater Locations
Authors: de Menezes Fábio Gouveia Telles , Corrêa Fabrício Nogueira , Jacob Breno Pinheiro
Published: May 2024

_

This work describes an offshore gas monetization solution for harsh environmental conditions at ultra-deepwater and remote locations, as an alternative to conventional onshore plants associated with long subsea pipelines for Greenfield projects. Although gas-to-liquids and marine compressed natural gas are initially evaluated, associated gas is supposed to be exported from deepwater floating production storage and offloading units to a central floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) facility for additional treatment, fractionation, and liquefaction, producing liquefied natural gas (LNG) and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) for further tandem offloading. To demonstrate the technical feasibility of the proposed FLNG, its key technologies are reviewed, including liquefaction process selection, cargo containment system, station-keeping, offloading, and power generation. A full-electric FLNG is proposed, replacing conventional feed gas power generation systems with inner hull nuclear power modules, envisaging neutral CO2 emissions and earlier first LNG drop milestone achievement. The FLNG general arrangement is developed, along with its internal cargo tanks layout, for preliminary LNG and LPG production rundown and feed gas throughput. Numerical analyses are carried out to show that static and dynamic tilt criteria can be met, even for harsh sea states. Gas import riser configurations for the challenging ultra-deepwater location are outlined, after appropriate FLNG station-keeping analyses, in addition to a feasibility assessment of seawater intake risers, aiming for an overall gas plant efficiency increase.

Microglial activation contributes to neurological disorders like Parkinson’s disease (PD), and modulating this activation is a potential therapeutic approach. The neuron-restrictive silencer factor (NRSF) functions as a negative regulator of gene transcription through epigenetic modifications. While previous research has primarily examined the role of NRSF in neuronal differentiation and injury, emerging evidence indicates that NRSF also plays a significant role in maintaining the phenotype of glial cells. In this study, we explored the role and underlying mechanisms of NRSF in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced pro-inflammatory or interleukin-4 (IL4)-induced anti-inflammatory phenotype of microglial activation. Following LPS stimulation, the nuclear localization of NRSF increased in BV2 microglial cells, primary mouse microglia, and microglia within the substantia nigra of PD mice. Knockdown of NRSF enhanced the expression of inflammation-related factors induced by LPS via the mitogen-activated protein kinase-extracellular signal-regulated kinase (MAPK-ERK) and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) p65 signalling pathways in BV2 cells. Moreover, the culture medium from LPS-treated NRSF knockdown BV2 cells exerted greater toxic effects on human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells compared to the control. However, NRSF knockdown exerted inconsistent effects on the expression of anti-inflammatory-related genes in IL4-treated BV2 cells. Our findings suggest that NRSF knockdown promotes microglial pro-inflammatory activation.

Isparta Gönen İlçesi Gümüşgün köyünde yer alan Sinan Dede Türbesi sözü geçen
coğrafyada Alevi-Bektaşi kültürünü mekânsal ve yapısal olarak günümüze taşıyan sayılı
örneklerden birisidir. Türbe içinde hem Anadolu’yu Türkleştiren ve Müslümanlaştıran
bir asker, hem de büyük bir evliya olduğu kabul edilen, Anadolu erenlerinden ve Horasan
erlerinden “Seyyid Sinan Baba” adıyla anılan zata ait bir adet sanduka yer almaktadır. Vakfiye
ya da kitabesi bulunmadığından, yapının inşa edildiği tarih tam olarak bilinmemekle birlikte
çeşitli kaynaklardan edinilen bilgilere göre yapının Osmanlı Devleti’nin kuruluşu ardından
inşa edildiği düşünülmektedir. Alevi-Bektaşi kültürü ve inanç geleneklerine ev sahipliği yapan
türbe, bu çalışmada kültürel bir miras olarak değerlendirilmiş ve yapının sosyokültürel ve
mekânsal sürekliliğini sağlayacak koruma ve müdahale kararlarını içeren rölöve, restitüsyon
ve restorasyon projeleri hazırlanarak bu projelerden elde edilen veriler ortaya konmaya
çalışılmıştır. Bu düşünceden hareketle öncelikle yapının mekânsal ve yapısal sorunlarına
değinilmiş ve sonrasında da bu sorunların giderilmesi ve yapının özgün mekâna en yakın
haliyle mevcut işlevini sürdürebilmesine yönelik müdahale kararları aktarılmıştır. Bulunduğu
coğrafyada halen aktif olarak kullanılan az sayıdaki Alevi-Bektaşi mekânından biri olan ve bu
nedenle sembolik bir değer taşıyan Sinan Dede Türbesi’nin özgün işlevi ve yapısal öğeleriyle
gelecek nesillere aktarılması ve kültürel mirasın korunması ilişkin literatüre katkı sağlamak
amaçlanmıştı
KUREYŞAN OCAĞI’NIN ERZİNCAN UZANTISI OLAN KUREYŞLİ SARIKAYA KÖYÜNDEKİ BEZEMELİ MEZAR TAŞLARI
Authors: Naldan Funda
Published: May 2024

Erzincan’ın Üzümlü ilçesine bağlı Kureyşli Sarıkaya köyüne yerleşen Kureyşan Ocağı’na
bağlı kişilerin mezarları bu çalışmanın konusunu oluşturmaktadır. Köyün ismi arşiv belgelerinde
en erken 1845/46 tarihinde geçmekte olup, köyde yerleşimin tam olarak ne zaman başladığı
bilinmemektedir.
Kureyşli Sarıkaya Mezarlığı’nda bulunan tarihi mezar taşları bu araştırma ile kayıt
altına alınmış ve bilimsel olarak ilk kez tanıtılmıştır. Mezar taşlarında çok fazla tahribat
görülmeyip günümüzde yeni definler de bu mezarlık içerisinde yer almaktadır. Mezarlar,
kitabeleri, malzeme, bezeme özellikleri ile sanat tarihi metodolojisi içerisinde ele alınmıştır.
Mezar taşlarında fes ve sarık gibi başlıklı taşların yanı sıra insan başı formlu, yuvarlak ve
dilimli kemerli, üçgen biçimli başlıksız mezar taşları görülmektedir. Mezarlıkta bezemenin
zenginliği dikkat çekmektedir. Bu kapsamda mezarlıkta sadece tarihi olan 8 adet mezar
incelenmiş, diğer örnekler günümüz mezar yapılarındandır. Mezarlıkta bezemesiz mezar yapısı
bulunmamaktadır. Ele alınan mezarların hepsi de bezemeli örneklerdir. Figürlü ve nesneli
bezemelerin ağırlıkta olduğu mezarlarda at, kuş, mimari tasvir, ay-yıldız motifleri, ateşli ve
kesici silahlar, kahve takımları, ibrik, tepsi, leğen, kepçe, kadeh motifleri vardır. Bitkisel
süsleme türünde servi ve hayat ağacı tasvirleri, altı yapraklı çiçekler olup bunun yanı sıra
rozet, mührü Süleyman, çarkıfelek gibi geometrik türde kompozisyonlar da bulunmaktadır.
Bezemelerde Orta Asya Türk geleneğini devam ettiren tasvirler görülmektedir. Türklerin Orta
Asya’daki inanç ve geleneklerinin, Anadolu’da mezar taşları üzerinde nasıl devam ettiği ile
ilgili örnekler üzerinden bu bezemelerin değerlendirmesi yapılacaktır. Her bir mezar yapısı
katalog olarak hazırlanmıştır. Mezarlıkta 1845’den başlayarak 1951’e kadar süren yaklaşık 100
yıllık dönem aralığındaki mezarlar bir geleneği sürdürmesi bakımından önemlidir. Kitabelerde
yer alan bilgiler sadece isim ve tarih içerdiğinden kişi hakkında yeterli bilgi vermemektedir.
Anadolu’da aynı bezemelerin farklı bölgelerde kullanılmış olması ile bölge kültürü içerisindeki
yeri de belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır.
EMPATİ VE DİĞERKÂMLIĞA MEVLÂNÂCA BAKIŞ
Authors: Atak Mustafa
Published: May 2024

Modern psikolojide ortaya atılan bir çok kavram Batı perspektifinden hareketle ele alınmış
ve bu kavramlar sosyal psikolojide ve beşeri münasebetlerde de kullanılarak hergeçen gün
daha önemli hale gelmeye başlamıştır. Ancak son yıllarda kültüre dayalı psikoloji yaklaşımlarının
yaygınlık kazanması, din ve maneviyat psikolojisinin öneminin artması gibi gelişmeler nedeniyle
psikolojinin kavramlarını farklı yorumlarla ifade etme durumu da görülmeye başlamıştır.
Psikolojide sihirli sözcük olarak nitelendirilen empati ve prososyal davranış olarak görülen
diğerkâmlık ile ilgili bir çok çalışma yapılmıştır. İnsanı bencil bir varlık olarak değerlendiren
Freud. Adler ve Skinner gibi psikologlar insanın karşılıksız iyilikte bulunamayacağını dolayısıyla
insan yaşamında gerçek anlamda diğerkamlığa yer olmadığını ileri sürmüşlerdir. İnsana
daha iyimser yaklaşan Jung, Erikson ve Maslow gibi psikologlar ise prososyal davranışın insanın
potansiyelinde mevcut olup üst düzey davranışlardan birisi olduğuna işaret etmişlerdir.
Kur’anı Kerim ve Hadisi şerifleri merkez alan Türk İslam tasavvufunda empatiye hep yer verilmiş
diğerkâmlık ise Kur’anı Kerimdeki infak ve isâr kavramı ile ifade edilmiştir. Türk İslam
tasavvufunun önemli isimlerinden Mevlânâ Celaleddin-i Rumi Mesnevi’sinde hem empati hem
de diğerkâmlık ile ilgili hikayelere bir çok beyitte yer vermiş ve özellikle beşeri münasebetlerde
bu iki kavramın kullanımının olmazsa olmaz derecesinde önemli olduğuna vurgulamıştır. Bazı
beyitlerde Mevlânâ, iki kavramın da karşıtı olan kavramlara da yer vermiş ve bu nitelikteki kişilerin
karşılaşacakları zararları da vurgulamıştır. Bu çalışmada, Mevlânâ’nın asırlar önce empati
ve diğerkâmlık ile ilgili yapmış olduğu tespit ve pratiklerden modern psikolojinin istifadesi
amaçlanmakta ve tabiri caizse gömülü hazine durumundaki tasavvufi eserler ve pratik uygulamaların
ortaya çıkarılarak istifadeye sunulması ve psikolojinin İslam tasavvufu gibi farklı
alanlara yönelmesi gerektiği vurgulanmaktadır

Using IT-Enabled Dynamic Capabilities to Develop Firm Inventive Capability and Business Process Agility: The Moderating Effect of aTumultuous Surroundings
Authors: Sudarnice S.Sudarnice , Wasik Zainul , Febria Lina Lia
Published: May 2024

Businesses today must be flexible and creative in order to adapt to the ever-changing business circumstances. This study suggests that IT-enabled Dynamic Capabilities (ITDC) are used to shape firm business process agility and firm innovative capabilities in a turbulent environment. It does this by drawing on the multi-theoretic lens. The suggested model has a favorable and significant correlation, according to a study of 254 IT and business professionals from Indonesia’s companies. The relationship between ITDC and agility is greatly tempered by marketing and technological upheaval. Comparably, marketing turbulence is also significantly mild. However, in contrast to expectations, technological turbulence has a negligible moderating influence on the link between ITDC and business inventive capabilities. This study demonstrates how firm agility and innovative capability mitigate the impact of ITDC on business performance. Practical ramifications and theoretical anchoring are also covered.

The standoff between management and the young doctor's organization (YDA) caused by periodic strikes has had major consequences for patients who do not receive medical attention when needed. This includes the stoppage of treatment in public hospital emergencies, which frequently results in patient deaths, reflecting a negative image of public hospitals. Analysis of the procedural imbalance and relationships between several organizational environment, culture, cynicism, citizenship behavior, and job embeddedness criteria in public-sector hospitals is the goal of this study. However, information gathered from the young doctors at Lahore's Public Sector Health Hospitals was necessary for this study to be successful. To compute the results, several statistical procedures were used, including factor analysis, regression, correlation, and reliability analysis. To examine the findings, information was gathered from 146 responders, who were young physicians. This study found that whereas JE mediates the association between organizational climate, cynicism, culture, and citizenship behavior among young doctors in Lahore's public sector hospitals, organizational climate has a considerable impact on OCB while organizational cynicism and culture have a small impact.
