The Impact of Financial and Non-Financial Rewarding System on Employee Motivation and Productivity: Balancing Incentives in Modern Workplaces
Authors: Ercegović Meri Đula
Published: January 2025

The paper primarily focuses on employeemotivationthrough financial and non-financial rewards as its goal was to help Croatian SME and Start-ups with designing fair and competitive rewarding system. It discusses how financial compensation such as salaries, bonuses, and profit sharing directly influence employee productivity. However, while financial motivation often yields immediate performance boosts, it may have limited long-term effects. Therefore, non-financial rewards, which include job satisfaction, recognition, work-life balance, and professional growth opportunities, play a significant role in sustained employee engagement and overall satisfaction. The research aimed to analyze the balance between financial and non-financial incentives, particularly in changing work environments. The methodology includes a literature review of over 80 scholarly works, focusing on both recent and past studies. The study highlights the complexities in determining the "optimal" combination of financial and non-financial rewards due to the unique needs and aspirations of individual employees. Key findings from prior research suggest that while financial rewards are crucial in certain contexts, non-financial rewards may have a longer-lasting impact on employee commitment and productivity, especially in modern, flexible work settings.The study concludes that a tailored approach combining both financial and non-financial elements is essential to maintaining productivity and satisfaction in the workplace.

The objective of this study was to investigate the evolution of the friction coefficient throughout a full penstock using two different approaches. Two approaches were considered in order to assess their effectiveness in predicting head loss. A theoretical approach that based on direct determination using the commonly used Colebrook-While formula. A graphical approach that based on numerical modeling of the structure under study using Gambit 2.2 software. For the theoretical approach, the results show that whatever the other parameters set out in the Colebrook-White formula (Reynolds number, diameter and absolute roughness), only absolute roughness has a visible impact on the result obtained. For the numerical approach, the results obtained show that the friction coefficient is neither identical on the same wall, nor identical in the same portion. Nor is it identical in the same section of the pipe, as shown by the theoretical approach. This shows that head loss in a section of pipe can change over time.

Published: January 2025

The continuous advancement of technology has made it possible to
significantly increase the number of processors in an integrated circuit,
although this brings new challenges. In this article, he will suggest an
innovative technology called the neuromorphic system based on pulse
neural networks (SNNs) inspired by the human brain. SNNs are artificial
networks that mimic the synapses and behavior of biological neurons,
firing pulses when input exceeds a set threshold.This paper proposes
implementing parallel executions in the neuromorphic system (NS). To
validate this execution, Bernstein's method will be used to know which
executions are made in parallel in the SN. The results reveal which
parallel executions between artificial neurons are carried out to access
shared memory. Similar challenges are identified in resolving the
variables towards shared memory access, a key area for future research
and optimizations.

Published: January 2025

This work presents the effect of synthesis time on morphology and its
influence on the optical properties of microwave-assisted carbon
nanospheres. To analyze the correlation between the synthesis time and
the growth in size of the nanospheres, the morphology of the
nanostructures was characterized by scanning electron microscopy
(SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Their optical properties were
analyzed by UV-Vis spectrophotometry, and the Tauc method was used
to estimate the optical band gap. The results reveal that the time variation
in the synthesis does have a significant influence on the size, shape, and
amount of sample obtained. The optical properties presented slight
modifications. With these results, we can provide an easy reproducibility
of simple and inexpensive methods to optimize the growth of carbonbased nanoparticles, which can bring advances in the synthesis of

Published: January 2025

Fuel poverty poses a significant challenge to communities worldwide,
particularly in vulnerable regions. Within this context, energy poverty is
understood as the inability of households to access basic energy services,
representing a barrier to sustainable development and social welfare. This
article addresses the need for the development of standardized
methodologies for measuring and analyzing energy poverty. In response
to the absence of unified approaches for comparative analysis of energy
poverty across different geographical contexts, this paper proposes a new
methodology, based on data collected from coastal localities in the State
of Jalisco. A principal component analysis was conducted, generating a
normalized multivariate matrix, and through clustering analysis, similar
criteria were grouped into different analytical categories. By applying
this method, an adaptation of the Gini Index and Lorenz curves was
achieved to precisely calculate an Energy Poverty Index, specifically in
the coastal region of Cabo Corrientes, Jalisco.

Engine reliability indicators are steadily improving as the design and manufacturing technology are improved. However, a natural change in their technical condition, the main causes of which are wear, fatigue failure, plastic deformation, corrosion is disrupted, which is a consequence of structural and technological flaws or violations of operating rules. These phenomena cause the crank inserts to turn, which is one of the main reasons for repairing automobile engines. The reason for the development of cranking of the connecting rod bearing is the loading scheme and the stress-strain state caused by it. The study of the deformation of connecting rod inserts during engine operation was carried out in bench conditions of 1000-hour tests. By conducting experimental studies, the dependence of the change in the protrusion and stress of the steel base of the connecting rod insert on the operating time has been clarified. The developed dependence takes into account the influence of the initial geometric parameters of the liner and stresses in the steel base on the operating time values obtained during testing. Changes in the geometric parameters of the connecting rod inserts establish a leading role in the kinetics of failure of the state of the liner itself, namely, its stressed state.

The most important area of energy development is the efficient use of renewable energy sources. The rational use of natural energy resources improves the economic and environmental balance of many regions and countries. Tajikistan annually experiences an increase in the number of large and small livestock, as well as the number of birds. The livestock and poultry industries represent one of the most important and priority areas of the agro-industrial complex. This sector plays a key role in ensuring the country's food security, including the production of meat and dairy products, as well as the supply of raw materials to other industries. At the beginning of October 2023, more than 2.6 million cattle are kept in various forms of agriculture in Tajikistan. This indicator increased by 125 thousand heads compared to the same period of the previous year. In particular, the number of cows is 1.3 million, which is 55,000 more than in the same period of 2022. The Ministry of Agriculture of Tajikistan estimated the number of goats and sheep in the country at 6.6 million, which is 440,000 more than in the previous year. The number of birds in the first half of the year was 2.4 million. Tajikistan produces about 2 million tons of livestock waste annually. In this regard, there is a need to develop and implement effective methods for the disposal of these wastes. One of the promising recycling options is the use of mobile biogas plants. The adaptation and integration of such installations into agricultural enterprises will not only reduce environmental pollution, but also provide a renewable energy source in the form of biogas, as well as valuable organic fertilizers to improve soil fertility.

The article presents the results of research on the comparative effectiveness of complex treatment regimens for the therapeutic and economic effectiveness of using the drug "Ultrasell-Dog" (Novistem LLC, Russia) in the complex therapy of osteoarthritis in dogs. Recently, due to irrational breeding work on pedigreed dogs, the number of individuals with a number of genetically determined pathological abnormalities of the osteoarticular system has increased dramatically. Most of these congenital pathologies lead to an unstable joint condition, which creates conditions for the development of osteoarthritis. To date, the pathogenetic therapy of osteoarthritis has been poorly developed. It is only in the last 10-15 years that methods of drug treatment of the destructive process in joint tissues that prevent the development of osteoarthritis have begun to enter clinical practice. These include, first of all, the so-called chondroprotective agents. Numerous studies have proven that the effect of chondroprotective drugs on osteoarthritis cartilage slows down destructive processes in it. On the basis of the veterinary clinic of Amigo Vet LLC (Rostov-on-Don), studies have been conducted on the therapeutic effectiveness of the inclusion of the drug Ultrasell-Dog in the comprehensive treatment regimen for osteoarthritis of the first and second degree in dogs. Based on the research results, it was found that the scheme using the drug "Ultrasell-Dog" was therapeutically more effective than the scheme used in the veterinary clinic, and allowed to reduce the recovery time of animals.

El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar el impacto del programa de intervención en salud reproductiva masculina a través del desarrollo de competencias ciudadanas en adolescentes de instituciones de educación básica. El diseño de la investigación fue cuasiexperimental, con un enfoque preprueba-posprueba. La muestra estuvo conformada por 21 estudiantes varones. Se obtuvieron los siguientes resultados: dimensión salud sexual y reproductiva masculina, el mayor porcentaje de logro se alcanzó en las competencias emocionales “me enfado cuando se burlan del tamaño de mi pene” y en la competencia comunicativa “debato con mis amigos cuando hablan falsedades sobre el uso del condón”. En la dimensión de riesgos en la salud reproductiva masculina, el mayor porcentaje de logro correspondió a la competencia emocional “cuando me niego a consumir algún tipo de droga, no me afecta el rechazo por mi decisión”. En la dimensión práctica del aborto, el mayor porcentaje de logro se obtuvo en la competencia comunicativa “hablo con mi entorno sobre los riesgos a los que corre una mujer cuando aborta”. En la dimensión estereotipos patriarcales, el mayor porcentaje de logro se obtuvo en la competencia comunicativa “converso en mi entorno sobre los riesgos del machismo en nuestra salud reproductiva”.
Algunas reflexiones sobre el profesor como piedra de toque

El presente artículo expone un conjunto de reflexiones acerca del rol docente en la sociedad contemporánea, marcada por transformaciones aceleradas. Aunque se reconoce al profesor como un actor clave en el proceso de socialización, su imagen social no es detectada, al igual que sus remuneraciones. Esto ocurre a pesar de los desafíos que enfrenta, derivados de la masificación del estudiantado, la aparición de nuevas tecnologías y los avances científicos, los cuales exigen actualización constante y una postura crítica respecto a su propia labor. Al mismo tiempo, “viejas” cualidades como la puntualidad, el trato respetuoso con los alumnos y la ética profesional siguen siendo fundamentales. La innovación didáctica, la incorporación de los nuevos conocimientos y el compromiso con la labor constituyen los pilares esenciales para alcanzar la excelencia en el ámbito educativo.

The science fiction drama Back to the future tells the story of Marty, who is accidentally catapulted to 1955 and thwarts his first meeting with his parents. Back in 1985, he must find a way to make his parents fall in love. Doc Brown, Marty's teammate, provides assistance. The concept of time travel used in the movie Back to the future is the subject of this research. This research uses Nick Lacey & Gillespie's narrative analysis approach. This theory divides the flow of a story into five parts: balance, damage, damage recognition, damage repair efforts, and balance reinstatement. The results show that the movie depicts time travel. The character Marty travels through time twice, first from 1985 to 1955, then back to 1985. A time machine that resembles a DeLorean car is used to travel through time. The Butterfly Effect and The Grandfather Paradox are derived from some actions Marty took in 1955

Polisi tidur berfungsi untuk membuat pengemudi kendaraan mengurangi kecepatan kendaraan yang terlalu tinggi. Penelitian dilakukan di 3 lokasi yaitu; Jalan Komodo, Jalan Monitor, dan Jalan Kelapa Gading. Tujuan penelitan untuk mengetahui dimensi polisi tidur, rata – rata kecepatan kendaraan, dan ke – efektivitasan polisi tidur dalam mereduksi kecepatan berdasarkan Peraturan Menteri Perhubungan 2018. Diketahi lebar atas polisi tidur pada ke – tiga lokasi tidak memenuhu syarat sedangkan tinggi polisi tidur memenuhi syarat. untuk rata – rata kecepatan awal kendaraan roda dua di 3 lokasi adalah 15.146 km/jam, 15.571 km/jam, dan 13.119 km/jam. Kecepatan setempat adalah 12,.219 km/jam, 12.605 km/jam, dan 12,526 km/jam. Rata – rata kecepatan awal kendaraan roda empat adalah 9.453 km/jam dan 10,008 km/jam. kecepatan setempat 6.670 km/jam dan 9.241 km/jam. Hasil analisis kecepatan awal dan kecepatan setempat yang dilakukan di lokasi didapatkan perubahan kecepatan kendaraan yang terjadi pada setiap titik polisi tidur (speed bump) di mana rata – rata kecepatan setempat lebih kecil atau sama dengan kecepatan awal sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa setiap titik polisi tidur efektif dalam mereduksi kecepatan kendaraan. Akan tetapi berdasarkan Peraturan Mentri Perhubungan PM 82 Tahun 2018 kecepatan oprasional adalah 10 km/jam yang berarti pada setiap titik polisi tidur tidak mereduksi kecepatan kendaraan.
