IMPACT OF CUSTOMER SATISFACTION ON CONSUMERS' ATTITUDES ON THE USE OF PLASTIC MONEY: THE MEDIATING ROLE OF TRUST
Authors: Haq Faizan ul , Saghir Wajiha
Published: April 2023

The study's primary goals are to quantify the link between consumer satisfaction and their perceptions of using plastic money, as well as the mediating role that trust plays in this relationship. Using a structured questionnaire issued to customers of fifty branches of public and private sector banks operating in New Delhi, the study was based on the attitudes of plastic money users in the Indian capital, New Delhi. The elements that affect customer satisfaction have been identified using factor analysis, and the mediating effect of the trust factor has been examined using regression analysis and partial regression. A study found that customers' attitudes towards using plastic money are highly influenced by how satisfied they are with the product and that the trust factor plays a large mediating role in this relationship. Time, cost, convenience, reward points or offers, and the range of services were discovered to be the primary factors that influence consumer satisfaction levels. Only bank customers were included in the study's sample unit, which had a strict city-wide restriction.
Cuidado espiritual de enfermería, una aproximación sistemática al estado de arte
Authors: Barberán Solórzano Jessica Marlene , Morillas Bulnes Amelia Marina
Published: April 2023

La atención de enfermería es una tarea compleja en la que las acciones clínicas se deslindan de la práctica asistencial, que necesariamente debe incluir el cuidado espiritual cuando se atiende a una perspectiva holística del ejercicio profesional. La literatura académica de enfermería ha mostrado un claro interés en el abordaje del cuidado espiritual en enfermería. Las investigaciones en la materia son abundantes y habitualmente parten de una noción de espiritualidad a partir de la cual se describe, implementa y valora el cuidado espiritual. El trabajo que aquí se presenta refiere a una revisión bibliográfica profunda a partir de una estructura temática de nueve dimensiones de las que este avance analiza cinco. El trabajo  concluye que  falta de una definición universalmente aceptada del concepto de espiritualidad así como de un canon cerrado de necesidades espirituales que deban ser atendidas por el personal de enfermería pues limita el desarrollo de un modelo de atención en este campo aun cuando existen propuestas de interés en forma de modelos y teorías que intentan establecer una comunicación efectiva y activa entre la enfermera y su paciente, de forma que el primero pueda ofertar cuidados de excelencia para mitigar el sufrimiento emocional del segundo.
A critical study of ideologies in selected Boko Haram videos
Authors: Oyedeji Gideon Abioye , Ogungbe Ebenezer Oluseun
Published: April 2023

Boko Haram insurgency has threatened the existence of Nigeria as the group has wrecked serious havoc on different parts of the country. This group has constantly claimed to stand against some issues, ideas, people, doctrines, and systems. They have demonstrated this in their activities. To further their engagements, they periodically release videos to the public and these videos communicate layers of meaning and ideologies. This study, therefore, highlights and discusses the ideologies inherent in Boko Haram Video. A total of five videos were selected from the Sahara Reporters TV, Premium Times, and legit.ng using a purposive sampling technique. The study adopted Fairclough’s Three Dimensional model of Critical Discourse Analysis as its theoretical leaning. Findings revealed that Boko Haram used both verbal and nonverbal semiotic resources in conveying their ideologies.  Words like “infidels, tyrants, idiots, pagans and thieves” are used by Abubakar Shekau to show the negative out-group polarity of others while discourse elements like “we follow Allah, we obey Qur’an” are used to show positive in-group polarity. Various shots and expressions convey Boko Haram ideologies including monotheism, absolutism, anti-westernism, and masculinism. The study concludes that the semiotic resources used in Boko Haram videos covertly convey ideologies, power, (mis)representation and hegemony.  Therefore, it is cogent that Nigeria’s federal government and the Nigerian military pay attention to the understanding of the operational ideologies of Boko Haram for effective deradicalisation of the sect and successful eradication of Boko Haram insurgency.

The paper reveals that convenience, speed, and compatibility affect customers’ attitude while convenience and compatibility have no negative effects on costs. Convenience has the highest impact on customers’ attitude, while speed concern has the lowest impact. In regard to customers’ intention to use drone delivery services, attitude has a strongly positive impact, while costs have a negative influence.
How Generational Differences Influence Leadership Styles: The Case Study of SMEs in Vietnam
Authors: Le Tien Dat  , Vu Hoang Nam
Published: April 2023

Leadership styles inevitably determine the success or failure of enterprises, especially the motivation, trust, willingness, and enthusiasm of employees. The efficiency of styles employed by leaders is greatly impacted by many factors, including their typical features related to generation. The main objective of this paper is to investigate the perceptions of 54 managers of small-and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Vietnam regarding the influences of generational differences on leadership styles. It is revealed that generational characteristics shape the personalities as well as the methods that leaders employ to instruct their followers, therefore impacting their styles. Generally, older leaders tend to be more autocratic while younger ones are more democratic. Nevertheless, there are differences among leaders in the same generation regarding their styles. This study contributes to the extant literature on behavioral science and leadership styles in the emerging economy of Vietnam. The results are beneficial for SME managers and training/consulting institutions in assisting these leaders to adjust appropriate leadership behaviors in consideration of influential factors, particularly their generational differences.

Authors: Hoang Thi Hue  , Ngo Phuong , Le Yen , Nguyen Lan , Tran Chi , Le Phung
Published: April 2023

As individuals’ living standards increase, the needs for the well-being of individuals are becoming more complicated, especially among children. Even though multidimensional methods for researching child well-being in Vietnam have made some progress, analyses of single dimensions of child well-being remain common. The research analyzes the relationship between social assistance, household welfare and child well-being on both objective and subjective aspects by applying Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) through the secondary data collected from the Vietnam Sustainable Development Goal Indicators for Children and Women survey in the period 2020-2021 by the General Statistics Office (GSO) and the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF) of Vietnam. The research results emphasize the mediating role of household welfare as high social assistance increases household welfare, thereby improving child well-being in Vietnam. Based on the research results, the research proposes several recommendations for the management and improvement of social assistance programs, thereby improving child well-being in Vietnam.

Musik. Spiritualität. Lebenskunst
Authors: Bubmann Peter
Published: April 2023

[Music.Spirituality.Art of Living. Studies on Aesthetics and Music from a Theological Perspective] Music contributes to the religious art of living. The contributions in this volume show how this occurs and how to honor this theologically. Especially in Protestantism, music managed to become the preeminent medium for spiritual experiences. It can be appreciated theologically as a play of freedom. Images of God are reflected in it in different ways. At the same time, there is a struggle for styles and forms of musical practice in the church. “Neues Geistliches Lied” (new spiritual song), gospel or techno, for instance, are being put to the test. The contributions highlight opportunities for playing music in worship, in congregational development and in religious education. And they develop the idea that singing continues to count as one of the features of Christian faith in public.

La naturaleza culta del paisaje
Authors: Cerda E Emilio de la
Published: April 2023

Al explicitar el interés que le genera cómo la “nueva interpretación de la historia se traslada desde el museo o la colección privada al paisaje rural más extenso y al paisaje urbano,” John Brinckerhoff Jackson recuerda que tan pronto como terminó la Guerra Civil en los EEUU “hubo un deseo generalizado de declarar el campo de batalla de Gettysburg como monumento. Esto fue algo inédito: un enorme paisaje poblado de miles de acres de campo, caminos y granjas convirtiéndose en monumento de un evento que había ocurrido allí.” Se refiere al sitio histórico de Gettysburg, donde en 1863 se libró la mayor batalla de la Guerra Civil de EEUU y donde Lincoln pronunció un famoso discurso conocido como el Gettysburg Address.
Paisajes culturales de la sal en Chile
Authors: Moreno Flores Osvaldo , Román López Emilia , Orozco Salinas Karina
Published: April 2023

Artisanal saltworks on Central Chile coasts are a relevant example of a high natural-cultural value, the result of the work footprint of the salt workers on the territory over the centuries and, therefore, decisive in the construction of the salt culture and identity of the territories where they are located. These saltworks are made up of components of tangible and intangible heritage value, which cannot be considered as isolated events, but within a network-structure that forms a complex framework of links between geography, economy, culture and history. They are productive systems with unique characteristics, both for their natural and environmental values, as well as for their cultural, heritage, historical, social and identity values. However, in recent decades this valuable heritage has evidenced an important process of abandonment and deterioration, due to various natural and anthropic factors that threaten its existence. That is why its study, understanding and dissemination as a cultural landscape is key to articulate approaches and knowledge from various fields that allow, in turn, to generate effective policies and instruments for its conservation and promotion.

Las salinas artesanales en las costas de la zona central de Chile constituyen un ejemplo relevante de un paisaje cultural de alto valor natural y, cultural, resultado de la huella del trabajo de los salineros sobre el territorio a lo largo de los siglos y, por tanto, determinantes en la construcción de la cultura e identidad salinera propia de los contextos donde se emplazan. Están constituidos por componentes de valor patrimonial material e inmaterial, que no se pueden considerar como hechos aislados, sino dentro de una estructura-red que conforma un complejo entramado de vínculos entre geografía, economía, cultura e historia. Son sistemas productivos de características únicas, tanto por sus valores naturales y medioambientales, como por los valores culturales, patrimoniales, históricos, sociales e identitarios. No obstante, en las últimas décadas este valioso patrimonio evidencia un importante proceso de abandono y deterioro, debido a diversos factores naturales y antrópicos que amenazan su existencia. Es por ello, que su estudio, comprensión y divulgación como paisaje cultural resulta clave para articular enfoques y saberes desde diversos campos del conocimiento que permitan, a su vez, generar políticas e instrumentos eficaces para su conservación y promoción.

Endüstri devriminin sınırlı doğal kaynakların sınırsız kullanımına yol açması, kutup bölgelerindeki eriyen buzullar, ozon tabakasının incelmesi, suların kirlenmesi, küresel ısınma gibi önemli olumsuz sonuçları olan çevresel olaylar, sanayi ve kimyasal etkinliklerle daha da kötüleşmektedir. Bu nedenle, söz konusu insan ve çevre sağlığına ilişkin sorunlara çözüm olabilecek yaklaşımlar geliştirilmeye çalışılmaktadır. Enerji tasarrufu sağlayan, çevreye zararı olmayan ve geri dönüştürülebilir malzemelerin üretimi ön plana çıkmıştır. Son yıllarda bu sorunların en etkili çözümü olarak anılan sürdürülebilirlik, yeryüzünün kaynakları hızla tükenirken, mevcut kaynaklara sadece bugünün değil, bizden sonraki kuşakların da yaşamlarını devam ettirebilmeleri için gereksinim duyacağının unutulmamasını gerektiren bir yaklaşımlar bütünü olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Sürdürülebilir kalkınma ilkeleri, yapı üretim sürecine uygulanması çevresel etkileri, atık üretimini ve kaynak tüketimini azaltmayı desteklemektedir. Yapılı çevre, doğal kaynakları en çok tüketen etkenlerden biri olduğu için, binalardan kaynaklanan olumsuz etkilerin en alt düzeye indirilmesine yönelik çabalar da devam etmektedir. Bu amaçla, yeşil bina belgelendirme sistemleri oluşturularak, projelerin tasarım aşamasından başlayarak bu doğrultuda geliştirilmesinin desteklenmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, örnek olay yöntemi kullanılarak, dünyada yeşil bina derecelendirme sistemleri içinde yaygın olanlarından biri olan, LEED belgesine sahip Türkiye’deki yirmi büro binası projesi incelenerek, sürdürülebilir malzeme ve yapı elemanı kullanım düzeylerinin ölçülmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Araştırma kapsamında, LEED belgelendirme sisteminin ‘Malzeme ve Kaynaklar’ başlığı altındaki sekiz ölçütten alınan puanlardan yararlanılmıştır. Elde edilen verilere göre, yüksek düzeyde LEED belgesi almış projelerde bile sürdürülebilir malzeme ve yapı elemanı kullanımının yetersiz düzeyde kaldığı belirlenmiştir.

Managing Data for Patron Privacy provides an informative look at digital library data from multiple angles.
Use of Continuous Ketamine Infusion as an Adjunctive Agent in Young Infants With Refractory and Super Refractory Status Epilepticus: A Case Series
Authors: DeVine Mackenzie N. , Gordon Sharon E. , Press Craig A.
Published: April 2023

Continuous ketamine infusions have been studied as an adjunctive agent for refractory status epilepticus (RSE) and super refractory status epilepticus (SRSE) in older children and adults. However, minimal information exists on the efficacy, safety, and dosing for continuous ketamine in young infants. We present the clinical course of 3 young infants with RSE and SRSE who received continuous ketamine in conjunction with other antiseizure medications. The condition of these patients was refractory to an average of 6 antiseizure medications before initiation of continuous ketamine infusion. For each patient, a continuous ketamine infusion was initiated at a rate of 1 mg/kg/hr with 1 patient requiring titration to a maximum of 6 mg/kg/hr. In 1 case, the concomitant use of continuous ketamine allowed for a reduction in the benzodiazepine continuous infusion rate. In all cases, ketamine was well tolerated especially in the setting of hemodynamic instability. Ketamine may provide a safe adjunct in the acute setting in severe RSE and SRSE. This is the first case series to document the use of continuous ketamine as a treatment modality in young infants with RSE or SRSE secondary to various underlying etiologies, without adverse events. Further studies are needed to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of continuous ketamine in this patient population.
Depression and the quality of life among people of the third age
Authors: LIKA Rovena
Published: April 2023

Depression is a widespread problem in third age (> 60 years old). A considerable number of elderly people and their relatives fail to recognize the symptoms for a variety of reasons. The presence of depression increases the risk of death and has a negative effect on the life of the elderly. The relationship between depression and the quality of life has often been investigated over the past years. However, in Albania studies concerning third age are very scarce. Therefore the following literature review might contribute to a better understanding of the relationship between depression and the quality of life. The study also aims to identify other aspects or factors affected by this relationship, which in turn will help service providers to promote a better quality of life, identify risk factors leading to depression and implement treatment in due time. This literature review entails articles which meet established criteria and have as their object the quality of life, depression and third aged people. The studies under consideration are cross-sectional, longitudinal etc. Mental health has an impact on the physical health, while the reverse is also true. The elderly exhibiting depression symptoms have generally speaking a poorer quality of life as compared to those who do not experience depression. Also people having a low quality of life, due to factors such as social support and physical health, are more prone to develop depression. In conclusion, studies have found a link between the level of depression and the quality of life among the elderly.
Starting All Over. The politics of protest and the struggle for democratic consolidation in Albania
Authors: ÇULLHAJ Florian
Published: April 2023

Experimenting with democracy in Albania has reached a quarter of a century, displaying that democratization is a complex project that begins with the transition but does not always end in consolidation. Therefore, novel approaches and theories that elucidate what occurred after the early transition as well as during it are considered necessary. In western democracies, one of the broadly accepted and well-practised forms of citizen engagement is protest participation. A plethora of authors deem that protest participation is a pivotal activity for the formation of a democratic public as well as an instrument for fostering democratic consolidation. Consequently, as on the one hand, we perceive an upsurge of protest activities in the western countries, hence, on the other, we see a gradual deterioration of protest participation in a Post- Communist country like Albania. Local studies on this topic are sporadic and not as much of participation trends is known of Post-Communist Albanian citizens. While, other sources of participation studies, which stems from western countries tend to construct their analyses based on broad formal questionnaires without analyzing the contrast between protest in democracies and protest in authoritarian regimes. Thus, in this article, we aim to shed light on the correlation between protest participation and state mobilization strategies. More concretely, how the state undertakes to mobilize measures to promote or prevent social movement activities? The answer to the aforesaid question will be in heart of this paper.
¿Inflación del término bullying?

Published: April 2023

El artículo responde a una inquietud generalizada no sólo en México sino mundialmente: ¿a qué nos referimos cuando hablamos de bullying? Aunado a lo anterior encontramos que la difusión, en toda la sociedad, del término bullying no está respaldada con comprensión del fenómeno de la violencia en la escuela. Es justo reconocer la oportunidad de que una palabra proveniente del ámbito escolar, tenga tal presencia en la sociedad; sin embargo, es necesario contribuir al entendimiento de las dinámicas sociales en el escenario escolar. El artículo parte de la definición del concepto bullying, se revisan someramente los antecedentes y aportes y finaliza con las crítica más extendidas; el propósito es sencillo, ubicar ciertas precisiones para iniciar el ineludible debate en torno a las bases epistémicas, filosóficas, sociales y psicológicas de la violencia en la escuela.

Hay conclusiones clásicas y recurrentes a todas las pláticas de café sobre política, tan ambiguas como plausibles, que permiten poner punto final a los temas de política y pasar al futbol: «el problema es la corrupción» o «es que somos un pueblo que le falta educación» son algunas de ellas. La que me interesa ahora pertenece a esa categoría: «es que hay muy baja participación ciudadana». Cualquiera que afirme lo anterior lo dice con seguridad y su interlocutor no tiene otra opción que responder con un monosílabo afirmativo.

Published: April 2023

In April 2019, a cluster of prisoners with muscle weakness and palpitation was detected at Prison A in Sakon Nakhon Province, Thailand. An investigation was conducted to describe epidemiological characteristics, and to provide appropriate control measures. A descriptive cross-sectional study was done. Suspected cases were prisoners or prison officers who had at least one of the following manifestations: muscle weakness, palpitation, fatigue, increased perspiration, weight loss, or tachycardia during 1 Jan to 30 Sep 2019. Confirmed cases were suspected cases who had low thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels. We interviewed food suppliers and examined the food ingredients. Food samples were collected to test for thyroid hormone. Thirty confirmed cases and 61 suspected cases were found. The overall attack rate was 4.6%. Only male prisoners were affected. The majority of the cases had low TSH and low serum potassium levels. All cases had a history of eating pork offals. Pork offal was suspected as the cause of elevated tri-iodothyronine (T3) and levothyroxine (T4) levels. Establishing standard of food quality for food supplier and evaluation of food material could prevent future outbreaks.

Published: April 2023

We describe an investigation to identify the causative agent and risk factors for a cluster of Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) reported in northern Bangladesh, November 2018. Medical record review and verbal autopsies were conducted. We actively searched for and interviewed other GBS cases in the hospital to gather demographic and clinical information. Blood samples were collected for serological testing for campylobacter and molecular testing for dengue, Zika, and Chikungunya and stool samples for poliovirus. We identified 13 GBS patients of which eight were males. The case fatality rate was 23%. We found development of respiratory muscle paralysis in 10 patients; three had rapid involvement within 48 hours and eventually died in the acute progressive phase without mechanical ventilation support. Serological tests confirmed the presence of antibodies against Campylobacter jejuni in three of seven patients. All other tests were negative. The high case fatality rate was due to rapid onset of respiratory muscle paralysis. We recommend establishing a surveillance system to timely capture and report GBS patients and to enhance investigation capacity. We also recommend that sufficient quantity of mechanical ventilators be present in peripheral tertiary hospitals.

Published: April 2023

The need for medical oxygen in Thailand tends to be increasing due to rising coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases. An analysis of oxygen supply and demand can provide a useful insight into the demand for oxygen therapy during the pandemic. To overcome the oxygen supply crisis, the government needs to address the shortage of related equipment, such as oxygen cylinders, generators and concentrators, which are mostly used for home and community isolations and also in field hospitals. We recommend that the government should dramatically increase the capacity for oxygen production as well as the production of related equipment. Furthermore, mechanisms to ensure adequate and equitable distribution of oxygen therapy should be in place. A promotion of domestic research and development to increase the capacity of oxygen production and ensure equitable oxygen distribution is urgently needed.

Published: April 2023

Con el desarrollo actual de la medicina, la sobrevida de niños y adolescente viviendo con VIH ha aumentado, de ahí la importancia de tener protocolos de transición que puedan responder a la necesidad de trasladar a los adolescentes viviendo con VIH de la clínica pediátrica a la de adultos y poder identificar la condición biopsicosocial de los pacientes para ser trasladados. Se realizó un estudio de tipo mixto con análisis prospectivo y un diseño de investigación no experimental observacional descriptivo de corte transversal en un grupo de 13 adolescentes que asisten a la Clínica de Enfermedades Infecciosas en Guatemala. Los resultados evidenciaron la necesidad de reforzar conocimientos de los temas de salud sexual y transmisión, VIH y adherencia en los adolescentes.

La Polio y la discapacidad física: historia de cinco mujeres de Guatemala
Authors: Sánchez Lizzeth
Published: April 2023

La poliomielitis es una enfermedad aparentemente erradicada en Latinoamérica, no obstante, las personas que adquirieron el virus causante de esta enfermedad viven con múltiples secuelas, una de ellas es la discapacidad física, pues el virus ataca las neuronas de la médula espinal. Otras secuelas se derivan específicamente por la condición de discapacidad, como la vivencia de barreras. Estas barreras se agudizan si además de la discapacidad se añaden otros factores a la persona que las viven, por lo que se evidencian efectos interseccionales. Por ello, este trabajo tiene como objetivo mostrar la vivencia de esta condición por medio del testimonio de cinco guatemaltecas, tres con secuelas de polio y dos madres de personas que tuvieron la enfermedad.

La evitación experiencial es el fenómeno subyacente en muchos de los desórdenes mentales. Varios aspectos de la cultura latinoamericana promueven la evitación experiencial a través de los roles de género rígidos, así como a través de otros valores y aprendizajes históricos. La Terapia de Aceptación y Compromiso-ACT ofrece un modelo de flexibilidad psicológica, la cual concede alternativas para que las personas aprendan a enfrentar las experiencias internas y externas de la vida, lo que a su vez genera salud mental.
