Decoding the impact of digital paradigms on human capital efficacies: An empirical exploration of digital transformation as a moderator in work engagement frameworks
Authors: Isah Leontes Njanjobea , Mitonga-Monga Jeremy
Published: December 2024

This study investigates the impact of digital transformation on human capital management practices (HCMPs) and their influence on work engagement. The research aims to evaluate the effects of recruitment and selection, training, career opportunities, and reward on employee engagement, and to examine whether digital transformation moderates these relationships. Using a sample of 607 employees, data were collected through online questionnaires from the banking and hospitality sectors in South Africa and analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The study finds that HCMPs such as recruitment and selection, training, career opportunities, and reward positively affect work engagement. However, contrary to expectations, digital transformation did not significantly moderate the effect of HCMPs on Work engagement. This suggests that the impact of digitalization may be more complex and context dependent. The significance of this study lies in highlighting the stability of HCMP impacts amidst technological change, providing insights for organizations to manage work engagement effectively without over-relying on digital transformation as a moderating factor.

ABSTRACT Background: There is a lack of information from Brazil regarding therapies used and outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndrome with ST elevation (STEMI). Objectives: To evaluate evidence-based therapies, occurrence of outcomes, reperfusion use, and predictors of not receiving reperfusion in patients with STEMI in a national multicenter registry. Methods: Patients with STEMI from the ACCEPT registry, with up to 12 hours of symptoms, were followed for 1 year for the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events. A significance level of p < 0.05 was applied for all analyses. Results: In the analysis of 1553 patients, the reperfusion rate was 76.8%, ranging from 47.5% in the North Region to 80.5% in the Southeast Region. The rate of major adverse cardiovascular events was 12.5% at 1 year. The prescription of evidence-based therapies at hospital admission was 65.6%. The presence of hypertension (odds ratio [OR] 1.47; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.11 to 1.96; p < 0.01); prior acute myocardial infarction (OR 1.81; 95% CI 1.32 to 2.48; p < 0.001); and the North (OR 4.65; 95% CI 2.87 to 7.52; p < 0.001), Central-West (OR 4.02; 95% CI 1.26 to 12.7; p < 0.05), and Northeast Regions (OR 1.70; 95% CI 1.17 to 2.46; p < 0.01) were independent predictors of not receiving reperfusion therapy. Conclusion: In the 1-year follow-up of the ACCEPT Registry, we were able to verify a wide variation within Brazilian geographical regions regarding adherence to best care practices. The following were independent predictors of not receiving reperfusion therapy: being treated in the North, Central-West, and Northeast Regions; having systemic arterial hypertension; and prior infarction.
The Causal Relationship between Gut Microbiota and Atrial Fibrillation: A Two-Sample Mendelian Randomization Study
Authors: Zhou Yuan , Wang Xuan , Guo Jiongchao , Zhang Lei , Zheng Huangsheng
Published: December 2024

Abstract Background Previous studies have adequately characterized the gut microbiota (GM) in atrial fibrillation (AF). Nevertheless, the precise causality between GM and AF remains elusive. Objectives This study utilized public data from genome-wide association studies to explore the causality between GM and AF. Methods In the first of two rounds of Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis, the instrumental variables (IVs) comprised single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that fell below the genome-wide statistical significance threshold (5 × 10-8). To attain a more comprehensive and inclusive conclusion, we further selected SNPs falling below the locus-wide significance level (1 × 10-5) as IVs for the second group. The MR analysis considered the statistically significant causal effect between the specific GM and AF when p < 0.05. Furthermore, in sensitivity analysis, p > 0.05 indicated no heterogeneity and pleiotropy. Results At the locus-wide significance threshold, the findings demonstrated a causal impact of GM on AF risk. The inverse variance weighting method indicated that Actinobacteria, Firmicutes, Alloprevotella, Bifidobacterium, Blautia, Eggerthella, Howardella, Ruminococcaceae UCG004, and Ruminococcus1 were negatively correlated with AF, while Pasteurellales, Pasteurellaceae, Oxalobacter, Ruminiclostridium5, and Turicibacter were positively correlated. Furthermore, at the genome-wide significance threshold, Actinobacteria, Bifidobacteriaceae, and Bifidobacterium were protective factors for the risk of developing AF, whereas Oxalobacteraceae and Erysipelatoclostridium were risk factors for AF. However, sensitivity analyses showed heterogeneity or horizontal pleiotropy within the outcomes for Actinobacteria, Howardella, Oxalobacter, and Firmicutes. Conclusions This study provides evidence for the existence of both favorable and unfavorable causality of GM on AF risk.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLICIES IN MODERN INDIA: HISTORICAL CONTEXT AND IMPACT
Authors: Dr. Ravi Prakash
Published: December 2024

Environmental policies in modern India have undergone significant transformation, reflecting the country's evolving socio-economic conditions, global environmental concerns, and its commitment to sustainable development. The journey of India's environmental policy can be traced back to its post-independence era, where economic growth was prioritized, often at the expense of environmental considerations. Early policy frameworks lacked a coherent environmental focus, with limited institutional mechanisms for protecting natural resources. However, in the 1970s, influenced by the global environmental movement and events like the 1972 Stockholm Conference, India began to formalize its environmental approach, marking the beginning of policy reforms aimed at balancing development with ecological preservation. Important milestones in India's environmental policy include the establishment of the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) in 1985, the promulgation of the Environment Protection Act (1986), and the National Forest Policy (1988), which aimed to curb deforestation and promote sustainable land use. The 1990s and 2000s saw India increasingly engaging with international environmental frameworks, including the Rio Earth Summit (1992) and the Kyoto Protocol (1997), and emphasizing the integration of environmental concerns into the developmental agenda. Despite these advancements, the impact of environmental policies in India remains mixed. While there has been notable success in areas such as wildlife conservation, pollution control, and biodiversity preservation, challenges like deforestation, water scarcity, and industrial pollution persist. The growing pressures of industrialization, urbanization, and climate change present ongoing challenges in policy implementation. Additionally, the tension between economic development and environmental sustainability continues to be a contentious issue. This paper examines the historical evolution of environmental policies in India, assesses their impact on ecological conservation, and explores the ongoing challenges and future directions for achieving a balance between growth and sustainability.

Background: COVID-19 pandemic caused globally public health crises. The massive spread of COVID-19 cases put nurses under immense stress due to high workload and thus high risk of infection, especially those in Emergency Room (ER) and Isolation Wards (IW). Both units were actively involved in handling COVID-19 as the first screening and treatment were given to COVID-19 patients.
Objectives: Analyze the differences in stress among nurses working in emergency room and isolation room in designated hospitals after the second and third waves of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods: The study was designed as comparative descriptive research, with observational and comparative longitudinal approach. There was a 14-month time periods between T1 and T2. The research samples were 33 nurses who working in emergency room (ER) and 32 nurses’ isolation wards (IW) at two hospitals handling COVID-19. Healthcare Workers' Stress questionnaire was used to assess nurse's stress level. Data analysis was performed using the Mann Whitney U Test.
Results: The results indicated there were differences levels of stress among the 65 nurses who worked in the emergency room and isolation ward. On average, those Nurses working in the ER experienced lower stress than IW during first wave. By contrast, those Nurses working in IW experienced lower stress than ER during the third wave. There were significant differences on nurses’ stress scores between the two departments during the second wave (p=0.000) and third wave (p=0.036) of COVID-19 pandemic.
Conclusion: This study suggests that nurses need to develop adaptive coping mechanisms to maintain decent nursing care during the COVID-19 pandemic. Attempts to anticipate or resolve the work stress are believed to maintain their performance on par with professional nursing care standards, even during the post-pandemic.

Published: December 2024

Aim: To compare the results of surgical treatment of patients with acute lower limb artery occlusion with and without intraoperative angiography.
Materials and Methods: Comparative analysis was conducted on the surgical treatment outcomes of 119 patients with acute lower limb artery occlusion treated at the Vascular Surgery Center of the Clinical Hospital ≪Feofaniya≫ State Administrative Department from 2017 to 2022. The enrolled patients were divided into two groups: A – 70 (58,8%) patients, underwent open thrombectomy with Fogarty catheters in order to correct the acute lower limb ischemia; B – 49 (41,2%) patients, underwent open thrombectomy with Fogarty catheters followed by control intraoperative angiography. Based on the angiography results after thrombectomy, balloon angioplasty, open surgical interventions on the arteries, or thrombectomy alone were performed. The follow-up period was 12 months after the initial intervention.
Results: The cases of thrombectomy with positive immediate results tended to be higher in group B, as compared to the group A: 98,0% vs. 88,6%, respectively (p=0,080). The annual rate of recurrent artery occlusion was significantly higher in group A patients than in group B patients – 30,7% versus 8,3% (p<0,001), suggesting the benefits of the aforementioned approach at 12-months follow-up period.
Conclusions: The use of intraoperative angiography and arterial interventions, when indicated, during thrombectomy for acute lower limb artery occlusion significantly reduces the rate of recurrent arterial occlusive events over the 12-months observation period.

Published: December 2024

Aim: The purpose of this study is to comprehensively assess the workload of general practitioners using the time study and the WISN method.
Materials and Methods: Time studies are used to assess the objective workload of physicians, by measuring the duration of physicians’ activities, and the WISN method, which is based on the workload of a health care professional and determines how many health care professionals of a certain type are needed to cope with the workload of a given health care facility.
Results: The results show that general practitioners spend short period of time for one patient visits, which may be conditioned by high patient attendance. In addition, general practitioners perform unusual functional duties. When calculated based on the Republican standard, the needs assessment by the WISN method showed that there is a shortage of general practitioners in outpatient clinics.
Conclusions: The needs assessment for the first and second scenarios shows that general practitioners cope with the workload of receiving patients, so the WISN assessment shows that there is a surplus of general practitioners.

Published: December 2024

Aim: The aim of the study was evaluation of the methionine-enkephalin in patients with severe COVID-19 with various activities of the renin-aldosterone system in comparison with COVID-19 patients with pre-existing comorbidities (renal cell cancer, critical limb ischemia) and adverse pregnancy outcomes.
Materials and Methods: To test our hypothesis, this case-control study consisted of 20 healthy donors (control group); 49 patients with a positive diagnosis of COVID-19 according to PCR analysis; 15 patients with a positive diagnosis of COVID-19 in combination with renal cell cancer; 29 patients with a positive diagnosis of COVID-19 in combination with critical limb ischemia, 10 pregnant womens with COVID-19. Methionine-enkephalin, plasma renin activity, plasma aldosterone was measured by radioimmunoassay. Statistical and graphical analyses were done using Statistica 7.0 StatSoft software and using MedCalc.
Results: As our results have shown, hyperreninemia against the background of hypoaldosteronism and inhibition of enkephalinergic activity is fatal for COVID-19 patients. In COVID-19 patients with renal cell carcinoma, met-enkephalin, aldsterone, and plasma renin activity also showed a high predictive value for mortality. Whereas in patients with critical limb ischemia the strongest predictor biomarkers of mortality were only renin plasma activity. In conditions of physiological hyperreninemia during pregnancy, met-enkephalin acts as a biomarker for preterm birth, and in pregnant patients with COVID-19, plasma renin activity acts as such a biomarker.
Conclusions: We found that in different categories of patients with COVID-19, the severity and outcome depend on the different activity of the renin-angiotensinaldosterone and enkephalinergic systems.

Sound creation and cross-cultural communication in contemporary Chinese art: From the 1980s to the present
Authors: Xiao Yuxin
Published: December 2024

This study explores how Chinese sound art in exhibition contexts has evolved since the 1980s and examines its interactions with Western sound art. It provides a detailed analysis of representative exhibitions and works to investigate the creative concepts, cultural backgrounds, and international influences shaping Chinese sound art. While Chinese sound art has roots in local experimentation, it has increasingly integrated into the international exhibition system, gaining recognition through frequent exchanges and participation in global events. The study highlights a gap in academic attention toward the unique challenges and opportunities present in the exhibition environments of Chinese sound art. By adopting a methodological approach that combines historical analysis with case studies of key exhibitions, it traces the transformation of sound art into an independent artistic language in China. In addition, it examines conceptual, technical, and cultural distinctions between sound art in China and the West, shedding light on how these differences shape artistic practices and audience experiences. Ultimately, the study argues that Chinese sound art has developed a distinctive sound esthetics that intertwines traditional cultural symbols with contemporary global influences, marking its significance as a critical component of the evolving international sound art discourse.

Published: December 2024

In recent years, teleworking (also referred to as telecommuting) has been the focus of academic research, due to its wide implementation during the COVID-19 pandemic and its significant implications, including psychosocial effects, job satisfaction, and social interactions among employees. Thus, this study employed a quantitative approach to examine these concepts and determine to what extent they have been changed by the implementation of teleworking in companies. Based on the findings, the most important aspect of teleworking was the need for social interactions. These three concepts also showed a statistically significant, but not a strong correlation. First, the women in the sample had higher psychosocial effects and a greater need for social interactions, compared to the men, whereas the younger participants had less psychosocial effects. Second, the participants aged 51 – 60 years had lower averages for job satisfaction, while the participants aged 41 – 50 years had lower averages for social interactions. Third, those who worked in companies consisting of 51 – 200 employees had significantly higher psychosocial effects, but significantly lower job satisfaction, compared to the rest of the sample. Finally, demographic and work characteristics played important roles in the assessment of the impact of teleworking on psychosocial effects, job satisfaction, and social interactions.
ПСИХОЛОГІЧНА ДОПОМОГА ПЕДАГОГІЧНИМ ПРАЦІВНИКАМ В УМОВАХ ВОЄННОГО СТАНУ
Authors: VOZNIUK A. , BABKO T.
Published: December 2024

У статті представлено результати теоретичного аналізу наукових джерел, даних емпіричних досліджень і результатів практичної роботи з педагогічними працівниками, які постраждали через військові події. Встановлено, що проблема надання психологічної допомоги педагогічним працівникам у воєнний час має ознаки масовості. Метою статті є виокремлення специфіки надання психологічної допомоги педагогічним працівникам в умовах воєнного часу.
Доведено, що при організації психологічної допомоги педагогічним працівникам в умовах воєнного стану слід спиратися на їхній кваліфікаційний складник, що містить результат формування необхідних психологічних знань, умінь і навичок, динаміку розвитку професійно важливих якостей, специфіку й особливості досвіду реалізації психологічної допомоги і підтримки. Рекомендовано для педагогічних працівників організовувати та проводити тренінги з активізації особистісних ресурсів, пошуку й усвідомлення шляхів психологічної допомоги і відновлення в умовах війни, реалізовувати заходи з попередження емоційного вигорання, впроваджувати в заклади освіти проведення «хвилин психологічної підтримки» для педагогічних працівників та «психологічних хвилин» для школярів із метою зміцнення ментального здоров'я та підвищення психологічної культури учасників освітнього процесу.
ФІНАНСОВО-ЕКОНОМІЧНИЙ ВПЛИВ ІНТЕГРАЦІЇ ЕТНІЧНОЇ ГРУПИ НА ЕКОНОМІКУ ПРИЙМАЮЧОЇ КРАЇНИ ТА НА БАТЬКІВЩИНУ
Authors: HUROCKINA V.
Published: December 2024

У статті досліджено економічні та соціальні аспекти воєнної міграції, зокрема на прикладі українських іммігрантів у Польщі, та їхній вплив на економіку приймаючої країни і Батьківщину. В роботі проаналізовано позитивні ефекти, що виникають внаслідок інтеграції іммігрантів у локальну економіку, такі як збільшення податкових надходжень, зниження рівня безробіття етнічної групи мігрантів, розширення ринку праці та стимулювання соціальної згуртованості. Особливу увагу приділено етнічній економіці, яка формується завдяки створенню іммігрантами власних підприємств, орієнтованих на етнічну спільноту і нішеві ринки.
У дослідженні застосовано статистичний та емпіричний аналіз для оцінки внеску українських мігрантів у польську систему соціального забезпечення, зіставлено обсяги грошових переказів з Польщі до України з іншими країнами. Отримані результати доводять, що активна фінансова і трудова діяльність українських іммігрантів не тільки підтримує соціально-економічну систему Польщі, але й сприяє економічній стабілізації України через грошові перекази, інвестиції в малі підприємства та повернення кваліфікованих кадрів. У роботі підкреслено важливість створення ефективної міграційної та реінтеграційної політики, яка враховує можливості інтеграції мігрантів як ресурсу для розвитку економіки приймаючої країни й отриманні бенефітів країною походження.
