People Management in Organisations. Case study of Luz dos Pastorinhos
Authors: Reis Felipa , Sadrudin Madina
Published: December 2022

People management concerns the policies, practices and systems that influence the behaviour, attitudes and performance of the members of the organisation, in order to increase the organisation's competitiveness and learning capacity. This management considers people to be its most important asset. In his or her work, every administrator, be it the chairman, director, manager or executive, performs the four administrative functions that make up the administrative process: planning, organising, directing and controlling. People management seeks to help the administrator perform all these functions, because he does not carry out his work alone, but through the people who make up his team. With his team, the executive achieves goals, objectives and results (Chiavenato, 2014). People management is important for any organization, because its performance depends on the contribution of the people who make them up.

Primary lung cancer is the most common cancer worldwide and is an increasingly common problem. The primary endpoint of this study was; to investigate the effect of radiotherapy dose and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) on overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). We retrospectively examined 99 patients who were stage III A and stage III B at the time of diagnosis, who did not receive surgical treatment, and who received definitive chemoradiotherapy. Data of patients such as sex, age, ECOG status, tumor location, pathological subtype, radiotherapy dose, type of chemotherapy, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and some biochemical parameters and PFS and OS were included in the study by scanning the patient's files. The radiotherapy cut-off value was accepted as 60 Gray. OS was statistically better in patients who received radiotherapy at doses of 60 Gray and above. When the patients with radiotherapy dose less than 60 Gy and patients with more than 60 Gray were evaluated in two groups, the overall survival was 8,569 ± 1,404 / month and 14,326 ± 1,209 / month, respectively. (p <0.05). When we evaluate the patients based on NLR; It was observed that the overall survival of patients below NLR 4 at the time of diagnosis was statistically significantly better. The overall survival of patients with NLR <4.0 and NLR> 4 was 14.32 ± 1.30 / month and 10.54 ± 1.16 / month, respectively. (p <0.05)

Published: December 2022

Aim: Hypothermia is a rare complication of antipsychotic drugs but serious outcomes including death may result. In this study, we aimed to investigate body temperature alterations in acute phase of chlorpromazine treatment, the relationship of inflammatory indicators and risk factors for hypothermic effect in intensive care unit (ICU) patients.

Materials and methods: 63 intensive care patients who needed sedative treatment due to agitation were divided into two groups as Group 1 (n = 30) with temperatures ≤ 38°C, and Group 2 (n = 33) with temperatures > 38°C according to baseline body temperatures. Also, recurrent measurements for 12 hours were made at specific intervals following 25 mg intravenous chlorpromazine.

Results: In Group 1, decrease in body temperatures was significant from 4th to 12th hours (p < 0.01), while in Group 2, significant decreases in body temperatures at all measurement hours were observed (p < 0.01). Temperature changes (delta temperature) observed at specific measurement intervals were significantly higher in Group 2 compared to Group 1. That difference was statistically significant at all intervals except for ΔTemperature B-6 (p < 0.05). The odds of hypothermic effects by chlorpromazine were 16%, 46%, 3%, and 18% for Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II, procalcitonin, C-reactive protein, and white blood cells, respectively.

Conclusion: Chlorpromazine treatment applied for agitation in ICU patients was associated with acute hypothermic effect. Severity of disease and comorbidities might increase risk of hypothermia, and inflammatory biomarkers might be predictors of adverse drug reaction.

Authors: UYGUN Saime Sündüs , BAKIR M. Akif , YAVUZ Haluk
Published: December 2022

Objective: Measuring head circumference is a quick, simple, cheap, noninvasive and reliable procedure for determining underlying brain size and provides information about risk for medical problems. Growth percentages of head vary from one community to another.

Methods: We aim to create head circumference growth curves for children aged 0-18 years in Turkish community. Measurements were performed by same person using a rigid and calibrated tape meter. In addition, the parents were asked to fill out a questionnaire with variables that could affect children's growth.

Results: Data analysis has shown that there is no relationship between the children's head circumference and whether there exists someone with a large/small head circumference in their families, or the average monthly income of their families and the parent’s education level. Only the independent variables child’s school performance, birth weight, nutrition, smoking are significantly effective on the HC measures of boys at alpha=0.05 level. For girls, only the independent variables birth weight and nutrition form are significantly important in explaining the variability of HC at the level of alpha=0.05. One gram increase in birth weight causes a 0.001 cm increase in the HC of both genders. In addition, head circumference growth curves were created for both genders to include all children aged 0-18.

Conclusions: Our study offers recent and gender-specific head circumference norms. These new values can be used more effectively in child follow-up.

Published: December 2022

ABSTRACT
Intracranial pathologies can affect pituitary hormone levels whether they are primarily related to the pituitary gland or not. In pituitary hormone deficiencies, the size and location of the pituitary gland may be normal, as well as one or more hormone effects may be observed after hypoplasia, partial empty sella, ectopic neurohypophysis, Rathke's cleft cyst, adenomas and other pituitary masses or surgeries. In early puberty, the pituitary dimensions are usually increased, rarely hypoplasia and rathke cleft cyst are seen as MRI findings. Non-pituitary pathologies cause especially early puberty, single or multiple pituitary hormone deficiency.
In this study, we aimed to categorize the patients with pituitary/cranial lesions and hormonal pathology and to determine their frequency and distribution in the single pediatric endocrinology clinic for ten years.
The data of 485 patients, 186 (38.3%) male, were retrospectively analyzed. Their mean age was 9.3 ± 3.2 years. The incidental pituitary lesion was found in 28 (5.77%) of all cases. There was no hormonal influence in 20 (71.4%) of them. In most of the 454 cases with hormonal disorders, MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) findings were normal in most of the 454 cases with hormonal disorders (71.8%). The most common hormonal pathologies were precocious puberty and isolated Growth Hormone deficiency, 57.9% and 26.4% respectively. Non-pituitary lesions (n=23, 5%) were most frequently accompanied by early puberty (39.1%).
The hypothalamus-pituitary axis may be affected by primary lesions in its own region, or it may be seen as a result of other cranial pathologies. Cranial evaluation is also important in addition to pituitary imaging in pituitary hormone disorders.

Published: December 2022

Amaç: Bu çalışmada idyopatik karpal tünel sendromu (KTS) tanısı almış hastalarda klinik, fiziksel, elektrofizyolojik, fonksiyonel bulgular ve vücut kitle indeksi (VKİ) arasındaki ilişkiyi araştırmak amaçlanmıştır.
Method: Çalışmaya toplam 105 (48 bilateral, 9 unilateral) idiopatik KTS’li el katıldı. Hastaların demografik ve klinik bulguları ve tinel, phalen, ters phalen, karpal kompresyon bulguları değerlendirilerek kaydedildi. VKİ ≥ 30 olan hastalar obez olarak değerlendirildi. Hastaların fonksiyonlarını değerlendirmek amacıyla Boston Semptom Şiddet ve fonksiyonel kapasite skalası uygulandı. Hastalar klinik ve elektrofiyolojik incelemelerine göre evrelendirildiler.
Bulgular: Hastaların yaş ortalaması 44.09 ± 10.97 idi. Elektofizyolojik evreleme ile yaş, cinsiyet, fonksiyonel kapasite ve semptom şiddet derecesi arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlılık saptanmazken, provakatif testlerden tinel testi pozitifliği ile ağır KTS arasında ve klinik evreleri ile KTS derecesi arasında anlamlı bir ilişki saptandı. Semptom şiddeti ve fonksiyonel kapasitesi, obez hasta grubunda, obez olmayan gruba göre anlamlı olarak daha yüksek bulundu. Obez ve obez olmayan grubun elektrofizyolojik özellikleri karşılaştırıldığında obez grubun median sinir duysal amplitüd değeri anlamlı olarak obez olmayan gruba göre düşük saptandı
Sonuç: Obez KTS’li hastaların fonksiyon kaybı ve şiddet semptomlarının, obez olmayanlara göre daha fazla olması, bu hastalarının tedavisinde kilo kontrolünün önemini göstermektedir. Klinik bulgu ile elektrofizyolojik bulguların birbirini desteklemediği durumlarda, dikkatli bir muayene ile hastalık şiddeti hakkında bilgi edinilebileceği, ayrıca tedavinin etkinliğinin değerlendirilmesi ve hastaların takibinde yararlı olacağını düşünüyoruz. Yine hastalık takibinde özellikle fonksiyon kaybının ve şiddet semptomların değerlendirilmesinde uyarıcı testlerinin önemli olduğunu ve muayenemizde rutin olarak yer alması gerektiğini düşünmekteyiz.
Reproductive Management in Goat Breeding
Authors: Grizelj Juraj
Published: December 2022

Goats belong to the „short day breeders“ group of seasonal polyoestrous animals. In the temperate climate zone, their season lasts from mid-summer till mid-autumn, being regulated by epiphysis’ melatonine secretion, as well as by genetics and environment factors. Therefore, the presence of goat milk and dairy products, as well as goat meat, at the food market, is exclusively seasonal. In order to provide goat food products throughout the whole year, reproductive herd management should be established. This paper presents a brief overview of the methods of reproductive management in dairy goat herds (natural mating and artificial insemination, hormonal and nonhormonal synchronization methods and embryo production and transfer). Proposed protocols are consisted of light treatment, male effect and timed artificial insemination which could be combined with or without injection of prostaglandin. Application of reproductive and breeding programs allow efficient diffusion of desirable genetic traits in a selection program.

Performance Monitoring (PM) and Fault Detection have always been a reactionary approach in Optical Networks for most service providers. Any kind of fault (power surge, ageing issues, equipment faults and failures, natural calamities, etc.) in an optical network is detected only after the fault has occurred and mitigation is performed afterward. The resultant service outages for end-users cause huge financial and reputation losses to the vendors. Therefore, there is a strong need for proactive detection of faults to limit disruption and provide uninterrupted services to clients. We achieve this objective by doing a multi-horizon time series prediction of Bit Error Rate at the receiver end of an optical circuit using our custom designed Frequency aware Sequence to Sequence (FaS2S) Neural Network. The predicted value of BER can be used to notify users of failure scenarios before they occur. Further corrective action, such as automatic re-routing or manual intervention can then be taken by the user. With this model, we can even configure the network properties dynamically during periods of low BER to push the network efficiency to its maximum capacity. See inference Video for BER inference capabilities of FaS2S.

Published: December 2022

The present paper aims at analyzing the role of ‘educational institutions’ in the era of globalization. The boon of globalization, i.e., the rapid invention of modern scientific techniques as well as the bane, i.e., emotional detachment in the inter-personal relationships resulting in the lack of respect especially, in teacher-taught relationship that is creating a vacuum in the society are also discussed. The paper encompasses some of the innovative pedagogical skills from a teacher’s perspective as well as that of a student’s too. The aim of the enlisted methods is to make classroom teaching more effective and interesting. The paper is therefore, divided into two sections, the first comprising teacher’s ideology regarding effective teaching and the second section incorporates the expectations of students from the teacher regarding the same, as teaching is a two-way process which remains incomplete until or unless the receiver or student is present.
Lovran u Krleži
Authors: Krapić Goran
Published: December 2022

Lovran u Krležinu životu nije tek, kako se to na prvi pogled čini, usputna stanica. To je mjesto važna prekretnica prije puta u Galiciju i novih književnih djela. U Lovranu je Krleža tijekom oporavka 1916., u vrijeme Prvoga svjetskog rata, razmišljao o životu i smrti te vjerojatno i o svojemu stvaralaštvu (preuzeo je cijankalij za ratište i uskoro će spaliti rukopise). O Lovranu piše u tekstovima diskurzivnoga književnog roda (Davni dani, Dnevnik 1943. i Izlet u Istru). Navedeno se mjesto javlja i u njegovim poznatim književnim djelima (Tri domobrana, Povratak Filipa Latinovicza i Zastave), ne kao ključan motiv, nego kao onaj koji nam pomaže doživjeti likove. Lovran, kao i cijeli Kvarner, vrijedan je istraživanja u kontekstu Krležina života i stvaralaštva. Čini se kako ima nemalu vrijednost te kako preko njega možemo doći do brojnih saznanja o Krleži i njegovim pojedinim djelima.

SPORT AND NATION BRANDING: THE SOFT POWER AND PUBLIC DIPLOMACY OF FOOTBALL IN CAMEROON
Authors: FRİDOLİN Kenfack
Published: December 2022

Since the end of the Cold war, the world and international relations as well, have witnessed several mutations and transformations. These changes occurred both in the nature and the conceptual approach of international politics. This can be seen with the changing nature of actors, power and diplomacy illustrated through soft power or new concepts like public diplomacy. In this new environment culture, entertainment and sport can be of great importance. Sport can create public interest and public goodwill, and appeal directly to the general public, so as to provide a favorable environment for a nation to manage its international relations. Though rarely itself a sufficient condition for diplomacy, sport can be effective in facilitating changes or increasing momentum in diplomatic practices and sympathy. In this perspective sport as soft power tool and public diplomacy are interrelated since they nourished themselves each other. In the present paper, by focusing on sport mainly football as prospective tool of public diplomacy and soft power in Cameroon, our aim is to demonstrate how sport can put a country in the spotlight and showcase all it has to offer, and thus produce effect in selling nation’s brand in an harmonious dialogue among national and foreign public opinion. The organization of the last Africa Cup of Nations by Cameroon, between January and February 2022 precisely, contributes to illustrating in the eyes of the world the place that sport and football in particular, can play in the history of this country.

Este trabalho faz parte de um estudo realizado durante os anos de 2018, 2019 e 2020, com base na medição de Engagement realizada pela Fundación Chile em uma imobiliária e construtora da Região Metropolitana de Santiago do Chile. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi identificar as variáveis que têm maior incidência nos níveis de Exaustão e Engagement nas diversas áreas, equipes e cargos do grupo imobiliário. O universo foi composto por 641 trabalhadores, onde em primeira instância foi realizada uma análise quantitativa da informação obtida pela medição da Fundación Chile; posteriormente, em função dos resultados evidenciados e da criticidade dos níveis de depleção demonstrado, foi realizado um levantamento de informação qualitativa através de Grupo Focal e entrevistas em profundidade, para obter percepções sobre o que se passa em cada uma das realidades das equipes que compõem a empresa. Os resultados deste trabalho mostram que existe uma multiplicidade de fatores contextuais organizacionais e políticos que impactam sinergicamente o funcionamento das equipes de trabalho, identificando como variável mais preponderante o estilo de liderança que os chefes estabelecem com suas respectivas equipes e áreas de trabalho.
Los sueños en la creación literaria. Cruces y desencuentros entre psicoanálisis freudiano y teoría literaria psicoanalítica
Authors: Bornhauser Niklas , Schönau Walter
Published: December 2022

El psicoanálisis freudiano históricamente constituye una práctica interpretativa de los sueños. La recepción contemporánea de Freud ha subrayado cierta analogía entre el trabajo del sueño, el proceso que desemboca en la configuración del producto onírico, por un lado, y la creación, conducente a una obra literaria, por el otro. Más allá de las numerosas y posiblemente justificadas analogías entre ambos procesos, se destaca la diferencia irreductible que caracteriza la interpretación de los sueños en la tradición freudiana a fin de no sacrificar la nitidez conceptual necesaria para el trabajo interdisciplinar.

Socio-Emotional Skills: Toward a Metacognition and Emotional Regulation use in Higher Education Internship Process
Authors: Jofré Barrera Cristian Andrés
Published: December 2022

The teaching-learning process generated within the framework of Higher Education system remain as a constant of analysis and tension. The economic and sociocultural configuration of the 21st century has evoked it a recurring idea about to have professionals who are increasingly prepared to adapt to changes and generate effective social interactions. If we look at the graduation profiles of the undergraduate programs, it is possible to quickly identify many socio-emotional skills that would be developed as part of a teaching-learning process during their undergraduate career. However, it is complex to access those aspects related to methodologies, teaching methods, tests, projects, and feedback strategies that would support this expected development. Due to this situation, the focus of this article is to generate an initial proposal to deepen the context of apprenticeship during an internship process and the possibilities of this being an instance that bring direct benefits to the socio-emotional development of undergraduate students, by emphasizing the role of the teacher who supervises this formative milestone as an actor who plays a role as a mediator using metacognition and emotional regulation. The reflection on this dimension of Higher Education hopes to initiate a discussion about the opportunities for the improvement´s internship process, and Higher Education teaching-learning process that focus on the mediation style for the development of key skills throughout life.
