Many of today's most successful companies recognise emotional intelligence as a key indicator of long-term professional success. Emotional intelligence relies in large part on one's ability to shift and change in response to new information and circumstances. The purpose of this research is to determine how secondary school teachers' emotional intelligence affects their sense of professional competence, leadership style, and classroom performance. Results demonstrated a favourable relationship between emotional intelligence and female instructors' sense of competence, leadership style, and students' achievement. The first step in cultivating educators with high emotional intelligence is for teacher preparation programmes to craft their curricula with this end in mind, with the intention of assisting educators in becoming more effective, with the inclusion of various strategies for improving leadership style, and with the comprehensive coverage of all necessary teaching skills.

Corea del Sur 2022: la pandemia continúa
Authors: Ramírez Bonilla Juan José
Published: May 2023

El artículo comienza cuestionando el discurso cada vez más frecuente sobre la pospandemia, para llamar la atención sobre su continuación en condiciones más graves en cuanto a los costos medidos en vidas. El autor propone estudiar la evolución de la pandemia en Corea, para lo cual establece dos fases diferenciadas: durante la primera, el principal indicador es el número de contagios en el contexto de una política sanitaria orientada hacia la contención del virus; la segunda fase estaría caracterizada por la disponibilidad y la aplicación de vacunas contra covid-19; en esta situación los principales indicadores son el número de decesos y la tasa de letalidad; con base en esta diferenciación, el autor sostiene que, dado el elevado número de decesos registrados durante 2022, la pandemia no ha terminado. A partir de estos criterios, el autor analiza los cambios en el sistema político coreano, marcados por la alternancia y la aparente consolidación del sistema político bipartidista. También estudia el desempeño doméstico e internacional de la economía coreana, destacando la dinamización de los sectores de servicios en detrimento de los sectores productores de bienes tangibles, así como los cambios en la demanda externa favorables a América del Norte sobre Asia del Pacífico. Finalmente, observa los cambios en las relaciones intergubernamentales en la escala de Asia del Este, en la medida en que a lo largo de 2022 el gobierno norcoreano reactivó su programa balístico.

Published: May 2023

The study aimed to assess the effect of dietary inulin (1% dietary inclusion) supplements on broiler chickens’ meat antioxidant compounds. The experiment was carried out under heat-stress conditions, on 60 Ross 308 broiler chickens. The study took place in an experimental hall with digestibility pens and controlled humidity, ventilation and light regime. Each treatment (2 groups, C and E) was replicated 6 times with 5 chicks per replicate pen with ad libitum feeding and free water access. At 42 days old, 6 birds from each group were slaughtered and breast and thigh meat samples were collected. The presence of inulin in broiler chickens’ diets had a beneficial effect by increasing the iron and zinc concentrations in thigh samples. Regarding liposoluble antioxidants, the presence of inulin in diets from tissue samples had an antagonistic effect: increased concentrations of xanthophylls were registered in thigh meat and an adverse effect was noticed in breast meat while an inverse effect was noticed for vitamin E. At the thigh meat level, the antioxidant capacity was significantly improved under inulin influence. In conclusion, the nutritional quality of broilers meat (thigh meat) was improved, for the group fed with inulin-supplemented diets.

Published: May 2023

Food occupies a principal role in human life, having a major impact on health status and representing diverse characteristics that ensure valuable nutrient intake. Ensuring human nutrition has become one of the essential problems facing mankind, and quantity, quality and proper use of food have a major effect on the human body. Many raw materials and food products spoil easily, considerably shortening their shelf life. Extending the shelf-life of food is required to remove seasonal consumption, enlarge availability to the consumer and decrease losses in perishable food products, resorting to some procedures to preserve their properties. If natural antioxidants are used as alternatives for synthetic antioxidants, customer claims for food without damaging residual substances can be satisfied, and the poultry industry would benefit considerably. The principal objective of this review was to describe and under light the current situation regarding the role and importance of the use of antioxidant compounds obtained from natural sources in order to improve the nutritional qualities of eggs following their inclusion in the feed of laying hens. Data from bibliographic sources are analyzed and presented. The characteristics of a number of 9 plants with antioxidant potential are described with an emphasis on their characteristics, utilization, and possible effects on egg quality, performance, and health.

It was studied the main indicators of the functionality of reproductive system and their interrelation with the productivity indices of imported cows populations Holstein breed, belonging to 3 ecological types: the Dutch, the French and the German and our indigenous Moldovian type Black-Motley breed. The service period, was the shortest in cows of Moldovian type of Black-Motley breed with 38.1 days (P˂0.001), 30.2 days (P˂0.001) and by 14.5 days (P˂0.01.), compared to the Holstein German, Dutch and French ecological types, respectively. The difference of the duration of calvings interval between indigenous population and French ecological type was 18.2 days (p<0.01), compared to the German 46 days (P<0.001) and to the Dutch 36,5 days (P<0.001). There has been a difference of 9,9% in birth coefficient, between Moldovian type and Holstein German ecological type (p˂0.05). The best result of the coefficient of reproductive capacity has the indigenous type, opposite of German ecological type, which has the lowest performance (P˂0.001). Between the service period and the productivity indicators of the milk, regardless of the origin of the animal populations, were predominantly established, authentic positive correlative interrelationships, from weak to strong and statistically negative between productivity indices and the coefficient of the reproductive capacity of cows.

Authors: Oladeji Deborah , Olanrewaju Ademidun , Akinbola Elizabeth
Published: May 2023

A six-week study was conducted to evaluate the effects of partial replacement of maize with Orange Fleshed Sweet Potato (OFSP) root meal on the haematological parameters and serum biochemistry of broiler chickens at finisher phase. One hundred and eight (108) day old broiler chicks were randomly allotted into 4 dietary treatments (T1, T2, T3 and T4) with 3 replicates each and 9 birds per replicate. The test ingredient, OFSP root meal was included in broiler finisher diets as replacement for maize at 0%, 6%, 12% and 18% in the dietary treatments respectively. The study revealed no effect on all the haematological parameters. The result of the serum biochemistry also showed no significant differences (P>0.05) on all the parameters measured with the exception of triglycerides, globulin and blood urea nitrogen with significant decrease in the triglycerides (mg/dl) and globulin (g/dl) content of T2(24.80 and 0.37), T3(47.01 and 1.07) and T4(48.50 and 1.41) respectively as compared with the control group (61.54 and 1.95 respectively). Therefore, inclusion of OFSP root meal up to 18% did not negatively affect the haematological parameters of the birds and also reduced the risk of metabolic diseases in the birds while improving the cardiovascular health of the birds.

Published: May 2023

The paper investigated the phytochemical content and antioxidant activity of poplar buds (Populus nigra L.), turmeric (Curcuma longa) and ginger (Zingiber officinale) extracts. Proximate composition, total polyphenols, ß-carotene, vitamin E, minerals and antioxidant capacity were tested for all selected plants. The proximate analysis of selected plants showed that poplar buds had a higher content of crude protein, fat and fiber than turmeric and ginger. The extract of poplar buds had a significantly higher content of total polyphenols (87.20 mg of gallic acid/g) and vitamin E (210.53 μg/g) than in the extract of turmeric and ginger. The polyphenol content was found to be in the order: poplar buds>turmeric> ginger. The beta carotene content was significantly higher in poplar buds (2.99 μg/g) than in turmeric (1.67 μg/g). Regarding mineral content, turmeric showed the highest content in iron and copper; ginger showed the highest content in manganese and poplar buds had the highest content in zinc. Moreover, poplar buds possessed the highest antioxidant capacity both on vitamin C and E calibration curve, evidencing the rich content in such antioxidants. Therefore, based on the valuable nutritional composition confirmed through this study, poplar buds, turmeric and ginger can be recommended as phytogenic feed additives for poultry nutrition.

Authors: Rabhi Mokhtar , Thamri Ahlam , Djoual Mohammed Said , Harizi Rima Affaf
Published: May 2023

The paper assesses the effect of organisational power on the structural empowerment of hospital nurses. The study also explores the degree to which nurses are able to take more responsibility in their work. Data were taken from 100 nurses of the Algerian public hospital. The model was tested by partial least squares path modelling. The results showed that organisational power positively affected structural empowerment. In addition, nurses have the ability to take on more responsibilities at work. Increasing nurses’ structural empowerment is an essential outcome. Therefore, it is necessary to move away from extreme centralization and try to share information, support, and experience with nurses, especially at public hospitals. Heads of nursing departments must share experience and information and delegate powers to nurses to enhance the effectiveness of their performance, especially in response to emergencies, and create the appropriate environment to enhance the empowerment of nurses.
Selecting for deafness – a marvellous opportunity or imposed dependence?
Authors: Bělohrad Radim
Published: May 2023

The paper focuses on the question of whether it is morally permissible to use reproductive technologies to select children with congenital deafness. I review the arguments that have been presented to support the claims that the lack of hearing is not overall bad, that disability is caused by social discrimination rather than impairment, that the community of deaf people gives its members plenty of opportunities to lead a happy life, and that procreative decisions need not improve the world. I argue that although the claims are, to a certain extent, reasonable, they fail to establish the conclusion that selecting for deafness is morally permissible. I further argue that the decision to select a deaf child is morally wrong because it results in imposed and needless dependency, that the happiness of a deaf child is conditioned by their confinement to a relatively small community, and that the deaf parents who reject their child’s potential biculturalism are motivated by questionably self-regarding reasons.

Published: May 2023

The aim of this study is to evaluate the level of select ethical issues in Visegrad Four (V4) countries (Czech republic, Slovakia, Poland, and Hungary) and quantify the differences in the attitudes of entrepreneurs in the field of business ethics in these countries. Empirical research was conducted in June 2022 in the V4 countries. Data collection was carried out by the renowned external company MNFORCE using "Computer Assisted Web Interviewing" (CAWI Research Method), according to the questionnaire created by the research team. The total number of respondents was 1,398, of which 347 were from the Czech Republic, 322 from Slovakia, 381 from Poland, and 348 from Hungary. Statistical hypotheses were verified using descriptive statistics, chi-square, and Z-scores at a α = 5% significance level. The preliminary results of this study can be evaluated as follows: The ethical level of entrepreneurs in V4 countries is high because the dominant group showed a positive attitude towards the defined issues in the field of business ethics. The attitudes of these entrepreneurs showed that they not only perceived the importance of business ethics, but also implemented and promoted these practices in managerial decision-making. Moreover, they feel good when they behave ethically, which is a significant motivating factor. In this study, it was found that Hungarian SMEs presented the highest level of business ethics. In contrast, the Czech Republic presented the lowest level of perception and enforcement of business ethics.

Published: May 2023

Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women. Bearing in mind these circumstances, a review of new molecular mechanisms underlying breast cancer progression, resistance and various aspects of existing therapeutic methods would lead to new insights for biologists and clinicians. In this regard, we conducted a study covering recent advances in breast cancer biology with a focus on the p21 protein. The study included 147 patients diagnosed with invasive breast cancer. The presence of non-invasive lesions was noted in each invasive breast cancer and surrounding tissue. p21 expression was determined by reading the percentage of nuclear expression in epithelial cells of invasive breast cancer and non-invasive lesions. Results showed that expression of p21 increases with the progression of cytological changes in the epithelium; it is significantly higher in invasive breast cancer compared to non-invasive lesions (p<0.001). There is a difference in p21 expression between different molecular subtypes of breast cancer (p=0.004). Statistically significantly higher values of p21 expression were observed in those breast cancers that showed overexpression of HER2 compared to HER2-negative tumors (p=0.001). Depending on Ki67 expression, the highest p21 expression is in the group with high Ki67 expression values (p=0.019). The increase in p21 expression in tumor cells was accompanied by a statistically significantly reduced expression of ER (p=0.015, ρ=-0.225) and PR (p=0.027, ρ−0.205). p21 protein plays an important role in proliferation, malignant transformation, as well as in progression from non-invasive lesions to invasive breast cancer.

Published: May 2023

A dengue é uma das doenças virais mais distribuídas pelo mundo. Por meio de uma revisão integrativa, este estudo busca identificar os possíveis fatores socioambientais associados à prevalência dos casos de dengue. Foi realizada uma pesquisa em estudos indexados nas bases de dados: Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS) e Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS), no período de 2017 a 2023, utilizando-se os seguintes descritores (DeCS): dengue, aedes aegypti e infecções por arbovírus. Em seguida, foram selecionados quinze trabalhos, que foram publicados em português e espanhol. Os resultados mostraram que a dengue está relacionada a diversos fatores, ligados a esfera social e ambiental. Inicialmente, observou-se que o crescimento urbano desordenado desencadeou uma série de questões que contribuem para o aumento dos casos de dengue e o consequente impacto sobre a saúde pública. Entre os principais fatores sociais, verificou-se um crescimento populacional nas cidades, o que levou ao agravamento da desigualdade social, elevação das moradias precárias e necessidade de melhor infraestrutura. Entre os principais fatores ambientais, pode-se destacar a deficiência no fornecimento de água, o que costuma levar as pessoas a buscarem armazenar água em reservatórios descobertos. Além disso, é comum a ocorrência do manejo inadequado dos resíduos sólidos. Portanto, o trabalho evidenciou os fatores que estão associados à prevalência da dengue, assim como mostrou a necessidade de investimento em diversas áreas, no intuito de diminuir a desigualdade social.

الإشاعة وأثارها السلبية على الشباب الجامعي – دراسة تطبيقية
Authors: حمودي ياسين طه موسى
Published: May 2023

الإشاعة هي نقل أو نشر معلومات غير مؤكدة أو غير صحيحة بين الأشخاص، وتنتشر عادة بسرعة كبيرة في العصر الحديث بفضل وسائل التواصل الاجتماعي والإنترنت. وقد تكون للإشاعات تأثير سلبي على الشباب الجامعي في عدة جوانب:

تأثير نفسي: يعاني الشباب الجامعي من ضغوطات نفسية كبيرة في فترة الدراسة، وعندما يتعرضون لإشاعات غير صحيحة قد تزيد هذه الضغوطات وتسبب لهم القلق والاضطرابات النفسية.

تأثير اجتماعي: قد تؤدي الإشاعات إلى تشويه صورة الشخص أمام زملائه الجامعيين، وقد تؤدي إلى خلق جو من التوتر وعدم الثقة بين الطلاب، وهذا يؤثر سلبًا على العلاقات الاجتماعية والتفاعلات في الحرم الجامعي.

تأثير أكاديمي: قد تؤثر الإشاعات على تركيز الطلاب وتشتت انتباههم، مما يؤدي إلى تراجع أدائهم الأكاديمي وتأثر نتائجهم الدراسية. قد يشعرون بالضغط والاستسلام أمام الإشاعات بدلاً من التركيز على تحقيق أهدافهم الأكاديمية.

4. تأثير سلوكي: قد تدفع الإشاعات الشباب الجامعي إلى اتخاذ قرارات خاطئة أو سلوكيات غير ملائمة. على سبيل المثال، قد يقومون بالانسحاب من الفصول الدراسية أو تأجيل الدراسة بسبب الإشاعات التي تثير الشكوك حول جودة التعليم أو صعوبة المقررات.
Horses’ Social Evaluation of Human Third-Party Interactions
Authors: Sugimoto Takuto , Hirata Satoshi
Published: May 2023

Humans evaluate others by observing their interactions with third parties that are not directly related to the observers’ interests. Such third-party evaluations have not been well-studied in nonhuman animals. In this study, we investigated whether horses socially evaluate humans based on their third-party interactions. We used a helping paradigm similar to that used in earlier studies with dogs and cats: that is, the horses watched as an experimenter (attempter) tried unsuccessfully to open a container in order to remove an object and then asked another actor on his right (i.e., helper/non-helper) for help. The actor either helped the attempter or refused the request by turning away. After this interaction, the attempter repeated the same procedure with another actor on his left. The actor on the left played the opposite role to the actor on the right. After these two interactions, the two actors offered food to the horse simultaneously. The horses were able to freely choose which actor to take the food from. They showed no preference for the helper over the non-helper. Therefore, in line with the results from the first trials of previous studies in dogs and cats, horses may not have a robust third-party evaluation ability. However, future studies should use other paradigms that are more suitable to the social ecology of horses.
Appropriate knowledge of wild chimpanzee behavior (‘know-what’) and field experimental protocols (‘know-how’) are essential prerequisites for testing the origins and spread of technological behavior. Response to “Unmotivated subjects cannot provide interpretable data and tasks with sensitive learning periods require appropriately aged subjects” by C. Tennie and J. Call

Published: May 2023

We respond to the commentary by Tennie and Call (2023) on the article by Koops et al. (2022) in Nature Human Behaviour titled ‘Field experiments find no evidence that chimpanzee nut cracking can be independently innovated.’ Koops et al. (2022) showed that chimpanzee nut cracking is not a so-called ‘latent solution.’ Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes verus) in the Nimba Mountains (Guinea) did not crack nuts when presented with nuts and stones in ecologically valid field experiments. In their Commentary, Tennie and Call (2023) argued that the experiments were inconclusive for two reasons: 1) the chimpanzees were not motivated to treat the nuts as food, and 2) the chimpanzees were not within the appropriate ‘sensitive learning period.’ In our response, we argue that Tennie and Call (2023) incorrectly use the term ‘motivation’ to mean ‘willingness to eat the nut’, which requires existing knowledge of the edibility of the nuts. We also point out that it is unnatural and uninformative to inject nuts with honey to motivate the chimpanzees to eat them, as suggested by Tennie and Call (2023). Finally, we highlight that Koops et al. (2022) tested appropriately aged subjects (N=32 immatures). Moreover, we argue that there is no evidence to suggest that there is a strictly sensitive learning period restricted to juvenility. Finally, we emphasize the need for researchers doing experiments in captivity to visit their study species in the wild, and for field researchers to be involved in efforts to design ecologically valid experiments in captivity.

Published: May 2023

Las empresas más atractivas para trabajar son de especial interés porque suponen una importante relevancia en el mercado de trabajo y la sociedad. El objetivo de este artículo es analizar las empresas más atractivas del mercado laboral en España que permanecen todos los años en el ranking publicado por la Revista Actualidad Económica, durante el periodo 2013-2020. Se investiga la excelencia laboral de estas empresas durante el duro comienzo de la pandemia COVID-19, además de caracterizarlas con indicadores tan importantes como el género de la dirección, pertenencia a la Unión Europea, la ubicación de su sede según Comunidad Autónoma, el tamaño, la cotización bursátil y si pertenecen al IBEX35. El estudio cuantitativo mediante análisis descriptivos y de inferencia permite concluir que de manera significativa las empresas excelentes lideradas por mujeres destacan en Ambiente Laboral y RSC. Las organizaciones que están fuera de la Unión Europea alcanzan mayores valoraciones. En cambio, la ubicación de su sede no influye en la valoración total. El tamaño sí redunda en una valoración positiva total, pero no ocurre lo mismo con el hecho de cotizar en bolsa. Finalmente, se observa que, ante el desafío del COVID-19, estas empresas consiguen mantener la excelencia laboral consistente en entornos donde destacan el Talento, Retribución, Ambiente, Formación y Valoración Total. Por tanto, se aportan resultados valiosos para la formulación de políticas de recursos humanos.

In the digital age, the role of information technology is needed to face competition in the community. Information and communication technology is an important element in contributing to changes that are fundamental to the structure of operations and management of organizations, education, transportation, health, and research. The internet is like two sides of a coin, the content offered is positive and negative, both are very dependent on the behavior of its users. The ease of access to the internet is increasingly being felt by the public with increasingly cheap hardware such as tablets and laptops as well as wider connection support. Various efforts to stem negative information continue to be pursued by various elements of society, but it is not effective if the user behavior is not changed. Teenagers are among the most vulnerable in the misuse of advances in internet technology, so it needs serious efforts to provide the right knowledge and skills in utilizing these advancements. By conducting workshops and motivation to improve the abilities and skills of Girimarto 1 High School students, it is hoped that school students can face the development of the digital era more readily. The results of this training gained a high level of satisfaction with the material that had been carried out.

The ship electrification process is the process of installing or providing electric power to supply all the electrical power needs for ships. In general, main electricity supply will be provided, and emergency supplies in the form of batteries or emergency generators that are able to survive supplying emergency loads such as navigation equipment, navigation lights, and emergency lighting for about 3 hours. Another consideration in the electrification process on fishing vessels is also aimed at reducing dependence or even replacing conventional fuel. Of course, not all machines or equipment that are usually operated with conventional fuel can be directly replaced with electrical energy. The implementation of electrification on fishing boats takes into account the technological and cultural aspects of fishermen so that not all of them will be directly replaced by electrical energy.

Aim: Comparison of the effectiveness and complications of transobturator tape and transvaginal tape methods in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence.

Method: Clinical records of 106 patients who underwent surgery in Istanbul Kanuni Sultan Suleyman Training and Research Hospital due to stress urinary incontinence between January 2015 and December 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into two groups. Trans obturator tape (TOT) was classified as Group 1, and transvaginal tape (TVT) was classified as Group 2. The urogenital distress inventory-6 (UDI-6) and the incontinence impact questionnaire-7 (IIQ-7) were used to determine the severity of preoperative and postoperative incontinence and objectively compare the quality of life in all patients. The ethics committee approval was obtained from the ethics committee of Kanuni Training and Research Hospital. Statistical analysis of data was performed using SPSS version 24 (SPSS Inc, Chicago, Illinois).

Results: There was a significant difference between the two groups in terms of mean age, menopausal status, complications, and duration of surgery (p<0.05). In both groups, there was a significant improvement in postoperative UDI-6 and IIQ-7 tests evaluating the negative effects of urinary incontinence on daily life (p=0.01* and p=0.028*, respectively).

Conclusion: A significant improvement was observed in UDI-6 and IIQ-7 scores after TOT and TVT operations. There is no significant difference between TOT and TVT methods in terms of efficacy and success in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence.
