ONLINE CONSUMPTION HABITS OF OLDER PEOPLE IN HUNGARY
Authors: STUMPF-TAMÁS Ivett , MÓRÉ Marianna
Published: November 2024

People's lives have been significantly affected by COVID-19, including the elderly,
who have sought to limit personal contact, especially during quarantine periods. Their
shopping habits, and their daily lives changed, too. The basis of my research was a
longitudinal study conducted by the Department of Gerontology of the University of
Debrecen, Faculty of Health Sciences. I conducted a two-region study in the summer of
2021, using the interview technique. I was looking for answers to the question how and to
what extent the COVID-19 epidemic has affected the lives of members of older people's
organisations, and how and in what ways their habits have changed, such as the use of
digital devices and consumption in general. The results show that during the pandemic, in
2020, telephone contact was the main mode of communication between members of
organisations, while in the following year, 2021, there were almost equal numbers of people
who preferred online contact and those who preferred traditional telephone contact. Older
people have presumably become more open to the online world, which is why internet use
and online contact have become more common. During the period under review, older
people's willingness to use digital tools increased and this also broadened their
opportunities, such as by developing their skills, which was often a necessity. This is also
true for online purchases. Online consumption has also increased among older age groups,
as well as among all age groups of domestic consumers. For older people in particular, this
is influenced by their opportunities for digitalisation. The main advantage of digitalisation for
older people is that they can keep in touch with each other and with their family members
living further away much more easily, but the disadvantage is the financial cost, as not all
older people can afford to have the right technical conditions, internet access and skills.

Authors: TAMAŞ Ioan Claudiu
Published: November 2024

In the context of globalization and in circumstances that have generated an
economic competitiveness, organizations in the field of I.T. from Romania are in particularly
opportune situations in terms of recruiting, selecting, retaining and developing talent. Talent
effectively contributes to organizational success, which is why we are justified in saying that
it can be the "lifeline" for any organization in the context of globalization.
Regarding the evolution of the concept of talent management, the starting point can be found
in the organizational context through the McKinsey consulting group, which later attracted
the attention of academic theorists. In the desire of McKinsey consultants to emphasize the
role of human resources in organizational success, the war for talent formula appeared.
Recruiting, retaining and developing talent is a significant issue, which is why organizations
have started investing in overcoming related issues and implementing talent management
strategies.
Talent management is recognized as a priority so that organizations in the field of I.T. are
faced with this challenge to develop talent management systems that lead to the progress
of the organization or produce its performance. Talent cannot be copied and is what creates
value for the organization.
What we can clearly state at this moment is the fact that talent management is a determining
factor that supports the field of human resources. Success depends on the organization in
the relationship with the existing human resource, in keeping, motivating and developing it
according to its potential.
In this research we proposed an analysis of the relationship between talent management
practices and the personal and career development of the individual in organizations in the
field of I.T. from Romania. Thus, the purpose of the research is to identify how employees
in this field perceive their professional development within organizations. In the research
methodology, I formulated the research objectives and hypotheses, described the research
methods, instruments and sample. The analysis of the results was carried out with the help
of the Qualtrics XM Survey platform, and the statistical analysis with the help of the SPSS
program (version 22.0), by transferring the data from the Qualtrics XM Survey platform.

Published: November 2024

This study investigates the impact of remote work on leadership development within small
and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), particularly examining how the expectations and
skills of Generation Z play a role. The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the adoption of
remote work, underscoring the urgent need to address the unique challenges faced by SMEs
through targeted leadership training programs. Effectively addressing these challenges
requires a nuanced understanding of Generation Z's perspective, which is essential for
devising strategies that align with the dynamics of remote work. The widespread use of
digital tools has revolutionized communication and management practices, presenting both
opportunities and challenges for leaders, especially when catering to the preferences of
Generation Z. Online training emerges as a cornerstone for nurturing effective leadership in
virtual environments, offering flexibility and accessibility that resonate with the digital-native
Generation Z. Generation Z's values, including efficiency, supportive leadership, and worklife balance, significantly shape their expectations of leadership roles within SMEs. Through
a comprehensive analysis of empirical data and practical insights, this research contributes
to a deeper understanding of how leadership development initiatives can evolve in response
to changing work paradigms. A case study illustrating an SME's successful adaptation of
leadership development to remote work offers valuable lessons and actionable insights for
similar organizations. Recommendations underscore the importance of innovative, inclusive,
and flexible program designs tailored specifically to the needs and demographics of SMEs.
In conclusion, this study offers valuable insights into the evolving landscape of online
leadership development programs, with the overarching goal of empowering SMEs to thrive
in tomorrow's workplace.

Authors: Phiri Gregory , Lumbwe Boyd Mwila , Phiri Chilizani
Published: November 2024

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the predictive power of the gravity model in explaining trade flows in Zambia.
Materials and Methods: The study utilized panel data for the period 1990-2020 for the Zambian economy and its 15 top trading partners based on 2018 trade volumes. The data was collected from the Centre for Prospective Studies and International Studies for International Information (CEPII) Gravity Database. The study employed the gravity equation to predict trade flows in Zambia.
Findings: The empirical results show that the gravity model accurately predicts Zambia's trade flows, with GDP positively and distance negatively correlated with exports. The results also show that sharing a common border enhances Zambia’s exports.  Surprisingly, trade agreements exhibit a negative relationship with exports.
Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: The significant negative impact of distance on trade highlights the need for improved infrastructure and logistics to reduce transportation costs, thus, facilitating Zambia’s trade flows. Further, the findings suggest that Zambia should focus on strengthening trade with neighboring countries. Additionally, Zambia should diversify export bases away from heavy reliance on the mining sector. Besides, there is a need for active participation in regional integration initiatives to address implementation challenges of trade agreements.

Authors: Topbie Joseph Akeerebari , Anyamaobi Godgift Nwankwo , Lasisi, Olapade Kehinde
Published: November 2024

Purpose of the Study: This study was designed to analyze the implication of Macroeconomic fundamentals on twin-evil of Macroeconomic phenomena: “with the focus on Nigeria.’’
Methodology: The study Utilized annual time-series data on exogenous variables (Government Deficit Spending, GDS; Official exchange rate, OEXCHR; Monetary policy rate, MPR) to capture Macroeconomic fundamentals. While, Unemployment rate, UNEMPLR; Inflation rate, INFLR and Consumer price index, CPI were used as a summation of Macroeconomic phenomena to capture Misery index. The data on variables used in the study were sourced from Nigerian federal ministry of finance; Central Bank of Nigeria; and World Bank data bank between 1991and 2022 respectively. The study employed econometric techniques of ordinary least square and Two-stage least to analyze its data.
Findings: The study of Ordinary Least Square revealed that Government deficit spending and official exchange rate significantly eradicate misery index in a positive manner. Meanwhile, monetary policy rate insignificantly eradicate misery index in a negative manner. There was also a further revelation from the findings of two-stage least square that government deficit spending and official exchange rate exert concerted significant strength to eradicate misery from every citizen of Nigeria within the periods under study.. Meanwhile, the result found that it was insignificantly weak for monetary policy rate (MPR) to minimize misery index from every Nigerian citizen within the periods under study.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The study concluded that the authority should maintain a sound policy that will oversee money borrowed for critical projects and use it to create employment opportunity for Nigerian citizenry, ensure exchange rate is kept within a certain band that will reduce high cost of goods and services in the economy that we are currently facing and jettison the idea of increasing monetary policy rate, since this displayed a negative sign to help reducing misery index of the Nigerian populace during the periods of study.

Assessment of Soil Erosion Susceptibility, Spatial Sediment Delivery Processes and Control Strategies at the Nzoia River Catchment in Kenya
Authors: Koskei Kipyegon . , Janeth Cherono
Published: November 2024

The Nzoia basin is among the most densely populated regions in Western Kenya, with an average density of up to 450 people per square kilometre. Cereal farming accounts for over half of the land usage in the basin. The massive conversion of land from forest to cropland and grassland in the region has significantly impacted soil erosion and reduced soil fertility. Several studies have been undertaken in the catchment, principally on potential soil loss; however, no extensive research has been conducted on the spatial sediment delivery processes or on establishing the best land management practices for the catchment. This study simulates the basin’s susceptibility to erosion using the RUSLE model, examines the spatial sediment delivery process, and undertakes scenario analysis to establish the best erosion control practices for the catchment. The RUSLE factors were combined in ILWIS GIS to create functions for soil erosion and sediment transport capacity, which were applied to compute the potential annual soil loss for each pixel. The formulated sediment routing algorithm directed the sediments toward the river and the lake. The results from the study show that potential annual soil loss varied from 0.00 in the lowlands to 4,577 tonnes/ha/year in the highland areas, with the catchment’s total potential soil loss estimated at 8,380,000 tonnes/year. The basin’s sediment yield at Lake Victoria was 2,494,575 tons/year, translating to a sediment delivery ratio of about 29%. The cropland regions were the dominant contributors of eroded sediments. The scenario analysis applied practical agronomic and mechanical erosion control methods to croplands, demonstrating that adopting multiple soil erosion control strategies could effectively reduce soil loss across the catchment. Areas with high erosion are primarily found in the sloping regions of the catchment, especially around Mt. Elgon, Chereng’anyi Hills, Kipkaren, and Kapsokwony. The spatial soil erosion and deposition hazard maps generated in this study should be used as practical guides for combating land degradation in the Nzoia River catchment.

A vueltas con el impuesto especial sobre envases de plástico no reutilizables
Authors: Fernández de Buján y Arranz Antonio
Published: November 2024

En el presente trabajo, enmarcado en el ámbito de la fiscalidad de los impuestos especiales, se realiza un análisis de determinados aspectos relevantes del nuevo impuesto sobre los envases de plástico no reutilizables que se incardina en el Ley de residuos y suelos contaminados. Se trata de un impuesto estatal, aplicable en todo el territorio español, de carácter indirecto y de naturaleza real que grava, en fase única, determinados consumos específicos, tales como envases no reutilizables que contengan plástico, los productos plásticos semielaborados destinados a su obtención o los productos de plástico destinados a permitir el cierre, la comercialización o la presentación de estos.
En concreto, el impuesto sobre los envases de plástico no reutilizables recae sobre la fabricación, importación o adquisición intracomunitaria de dichos productos que vayan a ser objeto de utilización en el mercado español. Además, el concepto de «envase» debe entenderse en sentido amplio; así, se define como todos los artículos diseñados para contener, proteger, manipular, distribuir y presentar mercancías, por lo que su ámbito objetivo se amplía extraordinariamente, así como los obligados tributarios al referido impuesto.

MUDANÇAS CLIMÁTICAS: O PAPEL DA LEGISLAÇÃO BRASILEIRA NA PROTEÇÃO DAS FLORESTAS
Authors: Vieira Diego Ribeiro , De Oliveira Fernanda Ribeiro , Gurgel Gabriel Maia de Oliveira , De Rezende Gizela Coimbra da F. B. S. , Marinho Luana Linhares
Published: November 2024

This article explores how climate change affects the planet on a global scale, causing rising temperatures, rising sea levels, and ocean acidification, among other issues. It analyzes how the United Nations (UN) has sought to mobilize countries to address these challenges. In this context, Brazilian legislation plays a crucial role by establishing norms to protect forests, biodiversity, and the quality of life for the population, ensuring the right to an ecologically balanced environment as stipulated in the Federal Constitution of 1988. Despite the existence of laws such as the Forest Code and the National Climate Change Policy (PNMC), which aim to reduce pollutant emissions and curb practices that contribute to the greenhouse effect, implementation still lacks effectiveness and direct incentives to promote sustainable practices. Additionally, the Public Prosecutor’s Office is essential in defending the environment and preventing illegal deforestation. This research adopts a qualitative approach, based on literature reviews and case analysis. The findings indicate that Brazilian legislation, although robust, requires more effective implementation and collaboration from society to tackle the challenges posed by climate change and ensure a sustainable future.

This paper examined the influence of business support services provided by incubators on the performance of digital entrepreneurs in Tanzania, with a specific focus on the University of Dar es Salaam ICT Incubator (UDICTI). The Open Innovation theoretical framework guided this study. The descriptive survey design was deployed through mixed research approaches to collect both quantitative and qualitative data. A sample of 42 active incubatees was selected from a population of 53 incubatees at University of Da es Salaam Innovation Hub through simple random probability technique. The five Likert scale questionnaire was designed for the collection of quantitative data while the semi-structured interview was utilized for the collection of qualitative data for triangulation purpose. Furthermore, data were analyzed using multiple regression method and content analysis method. Findings indicate that business services including business development assistance, marketing assistance, mentoring and funding positively and significantly contribute to the performance of digital entrepreneurs. The findings of the study highlight the critical role of business support services in enhancing the performance of digital entrepreneurs, particularly within the context of the University of Dar es Salaam ICT Innovation Hub. These insights are significant for fostering innovation and economic growth, not only within Tanzania but also in similar developing regions. The research concluded that constructive role of business support services namely business development assistance, marketing assistance, mentoring and funding positively influence growth of digital incubates. The implications of this research can guide policymakers and stakeholders in creating supportive ecosystems that empower digital entrepreneurs. It is recommended that the hub should allocate sufficient and continuous funding to support digital incubators and strengthen its monitoring efforts for existing incubates.

Introdução: A biossegurança tem como finalidade mitigar os riscos decorrentes das atividades que possam comprometer a saúde humana e ambiental. No centro cirúrgico, ela apresenta relevância por dispor de normas e práticas que visam assegurar a proteção dos profissionais e seus pacientes. Neste ambiente, os eventos adversos podem ocorrer tendo em vista a complexidade dos procedimentos e a falta de capacitação, contribuindo para o aumento das Infecções Relacionadas à Assistência à saúde (IRAS). Objetivo: identificar na literatura as medidas de biossegurança para a prevenção de infecções no centro cirúrgico. Metodologia: A pesquisa trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, fundamentada a partir da seguinte questão norteadora: quais são as medidas de biossegurança para a prevenção de infecções no centro cirúrgico? A coleta dos dados ocorreu entre os meses de julho e agosto do presente ano, por meio das bases de dados Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS) e Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (Lilacs), utilizando os descritores em ciências da saúde (DeCS): biossegurança, enfermagem, infecções e centro cirúrgico, combinados com o operador booleano AND. Para os critérios de inclusão, foram adotados artigos publicados entre os anos de 2019 e 2024, artigos disponíveis em português e inglês de forma gratuita, que abordassem a temática e que estivessem disponíveis na íntegra. Foram excluídos os artigos duplicados, ou seja, aqueles presentes em mais de uma base de dados, monografias, artigos incompletos, dissertações e aqueles que fugiam da proposta do estudo. Os dados foram analisados, reunidos e apresentados em forma de quadros, sendo discutidos de acordo com a literatura pertinente.. Resultados e discussões: O enfermeiro desempenha um papel essencial na prevenção de infecções de sítio cirúrgico (ISC), monitorando e desenvolvendo ações de biossegurança no centro cirúrgico. Essas ações englobam: uso de EPI’s, vestimenta adequada, controle de antibiótico terapia, a higiene rigorosa e a esterilização de equipamentos. Além disso, a participação ativa do paciente é crucial, passando de um papel passivo para colaborador no processo. Medidas como a vigilância constante, o controle de comorbidades e a educação dos profissionais e pacientes são fundamentais na redução das infecções hospitalares. CONCLUSÃO: O controle das infecções de sítio cirúrgico (ISC) depende da vigilância do enfermeiro e da adoção de práticas de biossegurança baseadas em evidências cientificas.

A segurança e o bem-estar dos profissionais de enfermagem são fundamentais para a qualidade dos serviços de saúde, especialmente no Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), onde a alta demanda e os recursos limitados tornam a biossegurança uma prioridade. Acidentes de trabalho impactam negativamente a saúde física e mental desses profissionais, afetando a qualidade do cuidado aos pacientes e resultando em lesões e doenças ocupacionais. Apesar de seu papel crucial na promoção da saúde e na prevenção de doenças, há uma escassez de estudos que abordem especificamente os acidentes de trabalho na enfermagem, o que limita a formulação de políticas de prevenção. A análise da literatura revela lacunas sobre os protocolos e recursos disponíveis para os enfermeiros após acidentes, destacando a necessidade de pesquisas que foquem na assistência pós-acidente e na biossegurança. Este trabalho visa realizar uma revisão da literatura sobre biossegurança na enfermagem, identificando práticas que promovam a proteção dos profissionais e a implementação de protocolos que minimizem acidentes no ambiente de trabalho.

O diabetes mellitus gestacional (DMG) é um distúrbio metabólico de etiologia múltipla que ocorre quando a mulher apresenta durante a gravidez, pela primeira vez, o diagnóstico de alteração na tolerância à glicose. O aumento da glicemia é exponencial durante o segundo trimestre e estabiliza-se ao fim do terceiro trimestre da gestação. O DMG está associado a desfechos adversos tanto maternos quanto perinatais, como crescimento fetal excessivo e traumas de parto, o que muitas vezes implica no parto cesáreo, embora esses fatores não sejam indicações absolutas do mesmo. Assim, o presente estudo, por meio da análise de dados coletados de prontuários da Fundação Hospitalar São Lucas, tem como objetivo principal determinar o perfil obstétrico das pacientes diagnosticadas com diabetes mellitus gestacional (DMG), buscando analisar o desfecho do parto devido a algumas complicações possíveis, procurando similaridades que possam esclarecer a prevalência da cesárea nas mesmas, para elaborar estratégias de prevenção pré-natal e controle dessa patologia.
