Authors:   Management Institute, Warsaw University of Life Sciences, Górska-Warsewicz Hanna
Published: December 2024

Purpose: In the digital era, the importance of brand and branding is increasing. Therefore,
the aim of this study is to determine the current state of development of the research field on
digital brand equity (DigBE).
Design/methodology/approach: The five steps of a bibliometric analysis were applied,
including design, compilation, analysis, visualization, and interpretation. A complex search of
the Scopus database yielded 166 publications in total. Science mapping and performance
metrics relating to publications and citations were used in analysed studies.
Findings: Since 2002, when the first article on HBE was released, 166 publications have been
published, with 3,487 citations. The primary categories for these publications were accounting,
management, and business. The most associated countries included Portugal, China, India,
Australia, and the United States. 859 items were found using keyword analysis, and 13 clusters
were identified in the science mapping, for example: digital brand-consumer relationships,
digital brand management, the importance of social media for online branding, business
determinants, customer satisfaction and loyalty social media marketing activities, or shaping
user experience using artificial intelligence.
Research limitations/implications: DigBE was analysed in general, indicating digital
marketing and social media marketing without indicating specific social media. Secondly,
the entire period 2002-2023 was analysed, without identifying sub-periods. Thirdly, the study
dealt with brands in general, without pointing product brands, service brands, or other brands,
including city brands or tourist destination brands.
Practical implications: Recommendations for managers relate to several aspects.
Firstly, attention should be paid to the specificity of digital marketing in the context of shaping
the brand-consumer relationship. Secondly, managers should monitor the effects of their
activities through social media. Thirdly, managers should pay attention to the coherence of the
marketing activities carried out and the interdependence of the different channels.
Originality/value: This study on DigBE conducted using bibliometric analysis fills a research
gap, as there were no studies showing the current state of development of this research area.
Clusters depicting current research areas in the field of DigBE were identified, and this
constitutes the novelty of this study.
Keywords: digital brand equity, digital branding, bibliometric analysis.
Category of the paper: literature review.

Social competences of medical personnel – results of an empirical study
Authors:   Warsaw University of Technology, College of Economics and Social Sciences, Pomaranik Wioletta
Published: December 2024

Purpose: The main purpose of this article was to assess the level of social competence of
medical personnel working in Polish healthcare entities as well as to determine relationship
between social competence and selected socio-demographic and work-related factors.
Design/methodology/approach: A questionnaire for medical personnel of Polish healthcare
entities was used to collect the data. 747 respondents took part in the research. A five-point
Likert scale was adopted to assess individual social competences. In order to examine the
properties of the measurement scale and the items that make it up, a reliability analysis was
performed. Data were then analyzed using descriptive statistics, Kruskal-Wallis, and Mann-
Whitney U tests.
Findings: The study shows that medical personnel rate the social competencies they possess
very highly. The male and female personnel differ in their level of: ability to work in a team,
commitment and responsibility, ability to communicate and build relationships, own time
management effectiveness and self-education. The analyses show that the type of healthcare
profession differentiates the level of social competencies.
Practical implications: Exploration of the social competence of physicians and medical
personnel is necessary to determine the needs for specialized training to acquire social
competence, and to develop programs for the acquisition of the social competence of managing
complex professional and social situations.
Social implications: The level of competence of healthcare workers concerns all citizens.
The Polish education system is mainly oriented towards professional skills training. Given the
importance of social competences in the diagnosis process, treatment, and occupational
functioning of health service workers, it seems appropriate to improve and develop them.
Originality/value: This article is based on a thorough analysis of the literature on the topic and
the author' own research. In practice, this study highlights problematic areas of management in
healthcare entities. It is addressed to researchers dealing with the subject and managers seeking
solutions in building a team of competent medical staff.
Keywords: social competence, medical personnel, healthcare entities.

Authors:   University of Economics in Katowice, Przedworska Kornelia , Kubiczek Jakub ,   University of Economics in Katowice
Published: December 2024

Purpose: The aim of this article is to present the role of subsidies as a factor of competitiveness
for businesses in the renewable energy sources (RES) market.
Design/methodology/approach: First, a review of available subsidies in Poland for individual
customers was conducted. Next, based on the survey, the sources of financing for the purchase
of RES by households in Poland were determined. Furthermore, an evaluation of various factors
encouraging energy transformation was carried out, and the role of subsidies for the purchase
of RES as a factor influencing the decision to transform a household was defined.
Findings: Research showed that higher government subsidies are the most important factor
encouraging individual customers to invest in RES. Most respondents financed their RES
purchases with personal funds, while subsidies and grants were the second most common
option. The range of subsidies for purchasing and installing RES infrastructure in Poland for
individual customers is extensive. Companies offering support in the subsidy application
process can boost their market appeal and contribute to the broader adoption of RES in Poland.
Research limitations/implications: It is important to note that the sample size of individuals
with installed RES was relatively small. Additionally, the considerations were limited to
individual customers and they were excluding enterprises which are also important recipients
in the RES market. Therefore, future research can expand on these considerations by focusing
on the analysis of subsidies for enterprises to better understand how they influence firms'
investment decisions. They could also conduct efficiency analyses of various subsidy programs
to identify those that yield the best results and are most cost-effective.
Originality/value: The paper explores the dual impact of RES subsidies on reducing costs for
consumers and enhancing market attractiveness for companies. By analyzing consumer
financing sources and preferences, the study highlights the critical role of financial incentives
in promoting energy transformation and increasing the adoption of RES technologies.
Keywords: competitiveness, renewable energy sources, subsidies, energy transition.

INTEGRAL HUMANISM: THE QUEST FOR SOCIO-POLITICAL IDENTITY IN HINDU NATIONALISM
Authors: Thakur Raushan
Published: December 2024

Integral humanism, a philosophical framework promulgated by Deendayal Upadhyaya, has profoundly influenced the formation of post-colonial Indian identity. This research paper investigates the philosophical foundations of integral humanism and assesses its potential as a reaction to colonialism and Western hegemony. The examination explores the historical and cultural settings that led to the emergence of integral humanism, identifying its origins in the many Indian philosophical traditions. This study examines the emergence of integral humanism principles, including the focus on the individual's harmonious integration within the collective, the significance of both spiritual and material well-being, and the repudiation of Western-centric development paradigms, as a counter-narrative to the legacy of colonialism and the imposition of Western ideologies. The study examines the significance of holistic humanism in developing a uniquely Indian strategy for nation-building, social reform, and the safeguarding of cultural identity in the post-independence period. It analyses the impact of this philosophical framework on discussions on nationalism, the individual-state relationship, and the formulation of development paradigms that emphasise the comprehensive well-being of the human being. This research paper critically examines the philosophical underpinnings of integral humanism and its influence on the formation of post-colonial Indian identity, thereby contributing to the scholarly discourse on the intellectual and cultural legacies stemming from India's interaction with Western colonialism and the development of indigenous thought and practice.

Published: December 2024

It's difficult to plan for a stable financial future. However, people are taking more and more responsibility for their own financial destiny. Although most people understand how important planning is, many lack the time or knowledge to create a plan and make the necessary financial decisions. Financial advisors are therefore required to manage an individual's wealth, and this process is referred to as wealth management. Numerous financial advisors provide a wide range of services to meet the various financial needs of their clients. These organisations provide the help of qualified financial counsellors to complete the process. These financial consultants offer a range of investment alternatives to assist individuals or corporations in properly managing their wealth.The first step in a financial planner's job is a consultation during which the customer provides information about their money and financial objectives. The planner then creates a thorough financial plan that pinpoints issues, offers suggestions for enhancement, and chooses suitable investments in line with the client's objectives, risk tolerance, and expectation or requirement for a return on investment.

Os contraceptivos orais combinados (COCs) são amplamente utilizados pelas mulheres brasileiras, oferecendo benefícios adicionais à contracepção. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a relação entre o uso de COCs e o tromboembolismo venoso (TEV), bem como identificar medidas que podem ser adotadas para minimizar esse risco, considerando as diferentes formulações de COCs. Foram coletados dados na literatura, incluindo as diretrizes atuais que abordam o tema proposto. Os COCs representam um risco baixo para o TEV, com prevalência variando conforme a formulação hormonal utilizada e o perfil de cada paciente. Além disso, observou-se que o risco de TEV diminui com o tempo de uso contínuo dos COCs, sendo mais elevados nos primeiros meses de terapia. A escolha criteriosa da formulação do COC pode ajudar a reduzir o risco de TEV em mulheres em idade fértil que optam por essa forma de contracepção. Recomenda-se uma avaliação individualizada do risco antes da prescrição, considerando fatores como histórico pessoal ou familiar de TEV, idade, índice de massa corporal e tabagismo. A continuidade ou descontinuidade do uso de COCs durante períodos de imobilização, cirurgias e puerpério deve ser cuidadosamente avaliada para minimizar potenciais complicações tromboembólicas.

Authors: Titilayo Deborah Olorunyomi  , Titilope Tosin Adewale  , Theodore Narku Odonkor
Published: December 2024

Advancing sustainability accounting requires a unified framework to effectively integrate Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) metrics into organizational strategies and auditing processes. This paper presents a comprehensive model that synthesizes sustainability accounting and ESG principles to support transparent, consistent, and actionable reporting practices. The proposed framework addresses key challenges, including data standardization, metric relevance, and the alignment of ESG initiatives with financial performance and stakeholder expectations. At its core, the model emphasizes the integration of material ESG factors into traditional accounting systems, fostering a dual focus on financial and non-financial performance metrics. A critical component is the development of standardized reporting tools and methodologies to enhance comparability and reliability across sectors and regions. The study highlights the role of advanced technologies, such as blockchain and artificial intelligence, in streamlining ESG data collection, verification, and auditing processes. These technologies improve accountability, reduce greenwashing risks, and ensure compliance with evolving regulatory and market demands. The paper also explores stakeholder engagement as a vital aspect of the unified model. By aligning ESG objectives with stakeholder priorities, organizations can strengthen their commitment to sustainability while enhancing their reputational and competitive positioning. Case studies of successful ESG integration across industries illustrate the practical applications and benefits of the framework, including improved resource efficiency, risk mitigation, and long-term value creation. This unified approach to ESG integration and auditing promotes greater accountability and trust, contributing to global sustainability goals such as the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The findings underscore the necessity for cross-disciplinary collaboration among policymakers, business leaders, and auditors to achieve a transformative impact.

Electrocardiography (ECG) is a rapid, non-invasive and invaluable diagnostic tool which plays a pivotal role in emergency department (ED) to provide critical information that aids in the timely assessment and management of patients presenting with a variety of cardiac and non-cardiac conditions. The improper placement of the electrodes can cause artifacts which would alter the reading and thus affect the management. The findings of the ECG should be confirmed through an accurate physical examination because, in certain cases, they may result from anatomical irregularities that manifest as ECG alterations resembling cardiac abnormalities.

Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) metabolites show considerable promise in enhancing oral wound healing due to their regenerative properties, including anti-inflammatory, collagen-promoting, and angiogenesis-stimulating effects. This scoping review consolidates current research on MSC metabolites, focusing on their roles in accelerating wound closure, reducing infection risk, and improving tissue integrity within the unique environment of the oral cavity. The findings reveal that while MSC metabolites offer a novel therapeutic approach with significant potential benefits, challenges such as variations in metabolite and quality need to be addressed to ensure consistent clinical outcomes. This review highlights the need for further studies to refine MSC metabolite applications, aiming to improve wound healing treatment efficacy in dentistry and oral health care.

Published: December 2024

The article systematizes and characterizes the most clearly manifested and popular trends in the use of forged elements in the interior and exterior of residential and commercial spaces. The relevance of this topic is due to the unique ability within the framework of the considered approach to combine aesthetic expressiveness, durability, as well as functionality. Modern architectural and design projects actively turn to this traditional art form, which requires an analysis of historical experience, technological achievements, and available opportunities. The purpose of the study is to identify the key trends shaping the role of forged products in the design of spaces, as well as to summarize the knowledge accumulated to date about the stylistic and functional aspects of their application. In the course of work, contradictions were discovered in the scientific literature: some authors focus on the need to preserve traditional technologies, while others emphasize the crucial importance of innovation to increase productivity and adapt forging to current requirements. The results demonstrate that the studied elements remain in demand due to their versatility, the ability to harmoniously integrate into various stylistic concepts, and create accents that emphasize the individuality of the space. The main trends are the use of wrought—iron stairs and railings, decorative grilles on windows, gates and fences, furniture with metal elements, loft-style lighting fixtures, balcony fences, garden accessories, small architectural forms, metal panels and art objects, openwork partitions. The article will be useful for architects, interior designers, specialists in the field of artistic metalworking, as well as researchers studying the history and development of decorative and applied arts.

Advanced analytical techniques such as LC-MS/MS, GC-MS/MS, and HRMS are reviewed for their efficacy in detecting and quantifying these impurities. The report also emphasizes regulatory frameworks and discusses comprehensive risk assessment strategies. By combining robust analytical methodologies and harmonized guidelines, the industry can ensure the safety and efficacy of pharmaceutical products.
Konut Sektöründe Finansallaşma Sorunu ile Mücadeleye Yönelik Ekonomik ve Sosyal Çözüm Önerileri
Authors: Turan Deniz
Published: December 2024

Uluslararası düzeyde elverişli konuta erişim noktasında kriz yaşanmaktadır. Finansallaşmanın etkisi ile günümüzde konut sosyal bir hak olmaktan ziyade bir metaya dönüşmüştür. Özellikle, uluslararası kamusal bir sorun olarak COVID-19 pandemisinin yol açtığı ekonomik ve sosyal sorunlar, konut haklarının ve yetersiz barınma koşullarının ne derece önemli ve acil çözülmesi gereken uluslararası bir güvenlik sorunu olduğunu gözler önüne sermiştir. Ancak, literatürde finansallaşmanın konut sektörü üzerine etkileri, özellikle insan hakları perspektifinden yeterince ele alınmamaktadır. Yapılan çalışma, finansallaşma ekseninde konut sektöründe fiyat artış nedenlerini ve alınabilecek ekonomik ve sosyal tedbirleri tartışmayı amaçlamaktadır. OECD ve Avrupa Birliği ülkelerinde finansallaşma boyutu ile konut fiyat artış nedenlerinin ele alındığı çalışmada elde edilen bulgular şunlardır; Finansallaşma akımı, uygun fiyatlı ve yeterli bir yaşam standardına sahip konutlara erişimi olumsuz yönde etkilemektedir. Konutun günümüzde spekülatif amaçlı yatırım aracı olarak ele alınmaya başlanması, barınma ihtiyacının sosyal yönünü erozyona uğratmaktadır. Sosyal konutların özelleştirilmesi uygulamaları, insan hakları karşıtı politikaların yükselmesine ve sosyal konut harcamalarının azaltılmasına yol açmaktadır. Bu nedenle öncelikli olarak konut hakkının insan hakları ilkelere çerçevesinde ele alınması gerekmektedir. Sosyal konut üretimine yönelik doğrudan kamu yatırımları artırılmalı ve sosyal konutların özelleştirilmesi uygulamaları terk edilmelidir. Devletlerin ve yerel yönetimlerin, konut fiyat artışlarını dizginlemek ve konutlara adil erişim sağlamak için verimli, kapsayıcı ve sürdürülebilir konut politikaları tasarlamaları, konutu insan hakları kapsamında kamusal mal olarak yeniden ele almaları gerektiği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
Sosyal ve Siyasal Bağlamda Zerdüştîlik İnancı

Published: December 2024

Çalışmanın amacı eski bir inanç biçimi olarak ortaya çıkıp hala İran ve Hindistan’ın bazı bölgelerinde etkin olan Zerdüştîlik inancını sosyolojik ve siyasal olarak açıklamaktır. Çalışmanın temel soruları “Zerdüştîlik inancının insanlar üzerindeki sosyal ve siyasal etkisi nedir, Zerdüştîliğin bir inançtan öteye toplumsal karşılığı nasıldır, Zerdüştîlerin devlet sistemi içindeki konumu ve meşruiyeti nasıl olmuştur?” şeklindedir. Çalışma yöntemsel olarak alan yazın okumasına bağlı olarak elde edilen verilerin sosyo-politik olarak açıklanmasına dayanmaktadır. Çalışmada Zerdüştîliğin temel felsefesi, toplumsal ve siyasal yönleri açıklanmıştır. Zerdüştîlikten önce Aryani halklar çok Tanrılı inançlara sahip olmuş ve toplum içinde öldürme, eşitsizlik, adaletsizlikler yaygın olmuştur. Zerdüşt’ün bir peygamber olarak ortaya çıkması ve Tanrı Ahûramazda’nın emirlerini topluma anlatması neticesinde toplumsal yapıda adalet, eşitlik, erdemlilik, ahlaki değerlere bağlılık temelinde yeni bir düzen oluşmuştur. Zerdüşt’e Tanrı tarafından gönderildiğine inanılan Avesta isimli kutsal kitabın ayetleri olarak bilinen Gatalarda, insanların barış ve huzur içinde yaşamalarına yönelik belirlemelerde bulunulmuştur. Ayrıca Zerdüşt dininin devlet mekanizması üzerinde etkili olduğu Sasaniler döneminde (MS 224-651) devletin resmi dini olduğuna yönelik bulgulara rastlanmıştır. Zerdüştî dininin, devlet resmi dini olduktan sonra özellikle de Sasaniler döneminde diğer inançlara karşı toleranslı davranmadığı sonucuna varılmıştır.
