The art and science of teamwork: Enacting a transdisciplinary	approach in work rehabilitation
Authors: Shaw L. , Walker R. , Hogue A.
Published: December 2024

Teamwork, collaboration and interprofessional care are becoming the new standard in health care, and service delivery in work practice is no exception. Most rehabilitation professionals believe that they intuitively know how to work collaboratively with others such as workers, employers, insurers and other professionals. However, little information is available that can assist rehabilitation professionals in enacting authentic transdisciplinary approaches in work practice contexts. A qualitative study was designed using a grounded theory approach, comprised of observations and interviews, to understand the social processes among team members in enacting a transdisciplinary approach in a work rehabilitation clinic. Findings suggest that team members consciously attended to a team approach through nurturing consensus, nurturing professional synergy, and nurturing a learning culture. These processes enabled this team to work in concert with clients who had chronic disabilities in achieving solution focused goals for returning to work and improving functioning. Implications for achieving greater collaborative synergies among stakeholders in return to work settings and in the training of new rehabilitation professionals are explored.
Physical training of combat diving candidates: Implications for	the prevention of musculoskeletal injuries
Authors: Pelham Thomas W. , Holt Laurence E. , White Harold
Published: December 2024

Physical training (PT) is a significant component in the operational preparation for Canadian Forces (CF) combat divers. However, in developing the various components of a PT program, consideration must be given to the potential for increasing the risk of injury. Indeed, all PT programs should incorporate components that minimize risks of injury, thereby attempting to prevent injury. This report identifies high-risk activities associated with PT during a CF Combat Diving Course and contains recommendations for PT modifications. Major high-risk activities identified were: inappropriate exercises, errors in exercise prescription, particularly in intensity and duration and incorrect lifting methods. From a specificity of training perspective, there is little support for the incorporation of 'dry land flutter kick' (i.e., repetitive, unsupported alternating straight leg raises), or high repetitions of push-ups, sit-ups and chin-ups in the training of CF combat diving candidates. Excessive use of these exercises, as performed during training, pose a high-risk for injury and are not recommended.
Policy and practice of occupational rehabilitation in Hong Kong	and Guangzhou – A comparative study
Authors: Chan Kan Kam
Published: December 2024

The objective of this paper is to compare social policy on occupational rehabilitation services in two mega industrial cities in southern China: Hong Kong and Guangzhou. Comparative policy study was employed as the research and analytical method in this paper. Aim, finance, target, coverage, organization and administration, service delivery and provision of the occupational rehabilitation policy and its linkages with industrial injury compensation system and re-employment policy in the two cities were critically reviewed and compared. The results of the study reflect that the Guangzhou policy is more aggressive and more tailor-made to the specific needs of occupational rehabilitation compared to the Hong Kong policy, whereas occupational rehabilitation in Hong Kong has long been developed and knowledge and skills in the occupational rehabilitation service are more mature and fruitful. Based on the research findings, it is concluded that through experience sharing and exchange, there will be more mutual understanding regarding the system, practice, success, faults and limitations in the two cities, as well as awareness of alternative courses of action. These will help in the better development of occupational rehabilitation services with the aims to safeguard the rights and wellbeing of workers in both cities.

Published: December 2024

The present study aims to explore the case management model by using problem solving skills in assisting workers with injuries in returning to work. A total of five workers with injuries were enrolled and there were four stages during the whole case management process including a medical rehabilitation stage (stage I), a compensation stage (stage II), a return to work stage (stage III) and a follow-up stage (stage IV) respectively. Case managers provided services by using problem solving skills to tackle the problems which workers with injuries may encounter during all four stages. Outcome measurement showed one case return to the same company same job, two returns to different companies and different jobs, the others have self employed work. This study suggested that case management using the problem solving skills of occupational rehabilitation was beneficial to workers with injuries on return to work.

Authors: Xu Yanwen , Chan Chetwyn C.H. , Lo Karen Hui Yu-Ling , Tang Dan
Published: December 2024

This study attempts to formulate a prediction model of return to work for a group of workers who have been suffering from chronic pain and physical injury while also being out of work in Hong Kong. The study used Case-based Reasoning (CBR) method, and compared the result with the statistical method of logistic regression model. The database of the algorithm of CBR was composed of 67 cases who were also used in the logistic regression model. The testing cases were 32 participants who had a similar background and characteristics to those in the database. The methods of setting constraints and Euclidean distance metric were used in CBR to search the closest cases to the trial case based on the matrix. The usefulness of the algorithm was tested on 32 new participants, and the accuracy of predicting return to work outcomes was 62.5%, which was no better than the 71.2% accuracy derived from the logistic regression model. The results of the study would enable us to have a better understanding of the CBR applied in the field of occupational rehabilitation by comparing with the conventional regression analysis. The findings would also shed light on the development of relevant interventions for the return-to-work process of these workers.
Using the ICF as a conceptual framework to guide ergonomic	intervention in occupational rehabilitation
Authors: Leyshon Rhysa T. , Shaw Lynn E.
Published: December 2024

Traditional treatment of work-related musculoskeletal disorders focuses on the body functions and body structures aspects of the injury, with little or no attention paid to ergonomics as a form of treatment. The use of ergonomics in preventing disability in injured workers is a relatively new area of study. There are a number of factors that may contribute to the lack of emphasis on ergonomic interventions in the prevention of disability following musculoskeletal injury. For instance, a review of the knowledge base suggests that there is a lack of a formal conceptualization or standardized approach to ergonomics in the return to work process. In part, this lack of consistency may be due to the varied disciplinary backgrounds of ergonomists, leading individuals to view ergonomics from a specific perspective, rather than utilizing a transdisciplinary approach. The purpose of this paper is to introduce a new practice model of occupational rehabilitation ergonomics. The model draws upon the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) and merges this with basic ergonomic and rehabilitation principles.
Return to work with chronic low back pain: Using an evidence-based	approach along with the occupational therapy framework
Authors: Paquette Sonia
Published: December 2024

This paper will attempt to apply the occupational therapy framework [1] along with an evidence-based approach and an occupation-based intervention with a population of workers with chronic low back pain (CLBP) to help them return to work and maintain their work status. This paper will focus primarily on those clients with CLBP who still have a link to their employment but who do not perceive themselves as being capable to go back to their job despite conflicting opinions from other stakeholders (primary health care professionals, employer or insurer). They are being evaluated in occupational therapy shortly before return to work and followed until their optimal functional capacities are reached. This means that either all functional goals related to the actual physical demands of their job have been reached or that further treatment does not result in functional improvement.
Occupational therapy – Meeting the needs of older adult	workers?
Authors: Evans Dawn M. , Conte Karmela , Gilroy Melissa , Marvin Tifany , Theysohn Heather , Fisher Grace
Published: December 2024

Objective: The purpose of this phenomenological study was to explore and better understand (a) why aging workers continue to work past retirement age, (b) how aware occupational therapists are of the needs of the growing demographic of the aging worker, and (c) potential occupational therapy interventions that could better help this population.

Method: This study was conducted with a mixed method design approach, specifically the parallel/simultaneous design, which consisted of both qualitative and quantitative investigation. The quantitative portion of the study focused on data obtained from the surveys and the qualitative portion was based on phenomenological interviews of aging workers.

Results: Themes emerging from the interviews demonstrate the importance of health promoting habits and family support in providing the critical foundation to maintain employment past age 55. Financial stability was a key motivator which compelled the interviewees to continue working. The older workers had no planned date for retirement and felt confident that the knowledge and life experience they offered were important qualities they brought to the workplace. The survey showed a need for occupational therapists to become more responsive to the growing demographic of older adult workers as they reported limited service enhancement and expansion for this group.

Conclusion: Aging workers are prime candidates for occupational therapy. However, the profession appears to be overlooking opportunities to meet the needs of these productive community members. Occupational therapists need to better respond to the physical, social, psychological, cognitive, and environmental challenges faced by this well population. The authors challenge occupational therapists to alter services, seek funding and obtain continuing education so they are better equipped to establish and enhance effective programs for this growing population.

PROFITABILITY DETERMINANTS OF INDONESIAN ISLAMIC BANKS: FINANCING TO DEPOSIT RATIO AND GOVERNANCE
Authors: Wahyudi Tri , Utami Fiesty , Sabrina Nur
Published: December 2024

This study aimed to thoroughly examine the impact of financing-to-deposit ratio (FDR) on profitability of Islamic commercial banks in Indonesia, with Good Corporate Governance (GCG) acting as an intervening variable. In order to achieve the objective, financial data spanning 2015 to 2019, collected from annual reports and financial statements of selected banks were analyzed. Accordingly, regression and mediation analyses were adopted to test the hypotheses. The results showed that FDR did not significantly affect profitability (measured by Return on Assets (ROA)). GCG was also observed to not efficiently mediate the relationship between FDR and ROA. These findings suggest that other factors may play a more substantial role in determining profitability of Islamic banks. The present study underscores the importance of adopting conservative financing strategies and enhancing corporate governance frameworks designed specifically in adherence to Sharia regulations. Essentially, the insights provide valuable recommendations for bank managers and policymakers to improve financial performance and ensure sustainable growth in Islamic banking sector.

Published: December 2024

The growth of Islamic banking has increased interest in the practice of Islamic Social Responsibility (ISR) within these financial institutions. The Sharia Supervisory Board (DPS) plays a crucial role in ensuring compliance with Sharia principles and supporting the implementation of ISR. However, how the characteristics of the DPS and the size of the bank moderate this influence is not fully understood. This research aims to investigate the influence of the characteristics of the Sharia Supervisory Board, such as size, age, and meeting frequency, on Islamic Social Responsibility in Islamic banks, and to understand how the size of the bank moderates this influence. This study uses a quantitative method with an associative approach. Secondary data from financial reports and sustainability reports of Islamic banks over the period of 2015-2022 were analyzed using panel data regression with the Random Effect Model. Sample selection was conducted using purposive sampling method with specific criteria to ensure data consistency. The results show that the size of the Sharia Supervisory Board (DPS_SIZE) negatively influences ISR, while the age of the Sharia Supervisory Board (DPS_AGE) positively influences ISR. However, when moderated by the size of the bank (SIZE), the influence of DPS size becomes positive in larger banks, while the age of the DPS has a negative impact. The frequency of DPS meetings (DPS_MEET) generally has a negative effect on ISR, but in larger banks, higher meeting frequency provides more intensive and responsive oversight, thus positively impacting ISR performance. This study highlights the importance of considering the characteristics of the DPS and the size of the bank in optimizing the implementation of ISR in Islamic banks.

PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP AS THE BASIS FOR BUILDING SECTORAL MARKETS
Authors: Movsesyan Areg
Published: December 2024

The article explores the role of public-private partnerships (PPP) in the formation and development of sectoral
markets, specifically within the context of Ukraine. It begins with a theoretical examination of PPP, including its
main types, as well as its advantages and drawbacks in comparison with other models of collaboration between the
public and private sectors. This study further assesses the international experience of PPP implementation across
various sectors such as infrastructure, energy, and transportation, drawing particular examples from the EU and the
United States. Special attention is devoted to analyzing the regulatory framework and specific challenges of PPP
implementation in Ukraine. The legal environment is discussed in depth, addressing the limitations and obstacles
that may arise from bureaucracy, corruption, and economic instability. The article emphasizes the importance of
a comprehensive and structured approach to PPP as a key strategy for stimulating sectoral market growth. It also
highlights the potential of PPP to attract private investments and advance technological innovation within underdeveloped industries. Additionally, the financial aspects of PPP projects are examined, including the significance of
government subsidies and incentives for the private sector's participation in high-risk ventures. Based on a comparative analysis with international practices, specific recommendations are proposed to optimize the PPP regulatory
framework in Ukraine. These proposals include developing transparent regulations, establishing reliable mechanisms for dispute resolution, and fostering a favorable investment climate. The study's findings provide valuable
insights for government institutions and private businesses aiming to design and implement effective strategies for
sectoral market growth through PPPs. The suggested approaches underscore the potential for Ukraine to benefit
from successful global practices, thereby advancing its own economy through sustainable public-private collaboration. These results can serve as a guideline for policymakers and business stakeholders in optimizing PPP-driven
projects to enhance economic resilience and achieve long-term development goals across various sectors.

In pursuit of racial justice, there is a need to understand how to engage in anti-racist allyship to reduce potential harm as experienced by the most vulnerable members within academia. In this study, we utilized grounded theory methodology to create a model of allyship based on the definitions and experiences of BIPOC counselor education and counseling psychology faculty members. Participants included 12 faculty members who identified as BIPOC and who could identify traits of White allies through existing relationships and experiences. Participants represented diversity in racial identity and academic rank and were selected through theoretical, purposive, and convenience sampling methods. Through constant comparison of the data, we developed a model identifying contextual processes and components of White allyship. The model demonstrates generative and restrictive pathways for ongoing allyship across the domains of Humility, Engagement, Impact, and Positionality. Implications for counselor educators, counseling psychologists, and researchers are presented.

This article proposes and analyses a viscosity scheme for an enriched nonexpansive mapping. The scheme is incorporated with the implicit midpoint rule of stiff differential equations. We deduce some convergence properties of the scheme and establish that a sequence generated therefrom converges strongly to a fixed point of an enriched nonexpansive mapping provided such a point exists. Furthermore, we provide some examples of the implementation of the schemes with respect to certain enriched mappings and show the numerical pattern of the scheme.

We know that autonomic disfunction is due to metabolic pathologies. The same time, physical activity has beneficial effects on metabolic health and heart rate variability (HRV). But there is no consensus about the effect of trainings with weights on HRV in the scientific literature.
Purpose: To asses the impact of low-intensity power trainings with blood flow restrictions on HRV of men with metabolic syndrome (MS).
Materials and methods: Influence of different weight training modes on 60 men with MS was analyzed. The participants were divided into three groups: low-load resistance training with blood flow restriction (LLBFR; n = 20), high-intensity resistance training without blood flow restriction (HI; n = 20), low-load resistance training without blood flow restriction (LL; n = 20). Trainings were conducted twice a week for 12 weeks. Time and frequency indicators were assessed before and after the investigation.
Results: After the investigation, there were an increase in SDNN for the LLBFR group (p = 0.000; Cohen’s d = 0.69), for the HI group (p = 0.000; Cohen’s d = 0.83), for the LL group (p = 0.016; Cohen’s d = 0.22), an increase in RMSSD for the LLBFR group (p = 0.000; Cohen’s d = 0.67), for the HI group (p = 0.000; Cohen’s d = 0.87), for the LL group (p = 0.027; Cohen’s d = 0.26), as well as an increase in pNN50 for the LLBFR group (p = 0.000; Cohen’s d = 0.58), for the HI group (p = 0.000; Cohen’s d = 0.53), for the LL group (p = 0.079; Cohen’s d = 0.14). Statistically significant changes (p ˂ 0.05) were also observed for the frequency parameters of HRV for the LLBFR and HI groups.
Conclusions: Resistance training, including in combination with blood flow restriction, has a positive effect on HRV in men with MS.

Tax knowledge plays an important role in shaping the career interests of accounting students in pursuing a career in the field of taxation. This study aims to evaluate the extent to which tax knowledge influences the career interests of accounting students at the International Logistics and Business University in choosing a career in taxation. The research method used is quantitative with an associative approach, utilizing primary data. The analysis techniques used include validity tests, reliability tests, correlation coefficient tests, simple regression analysis, determination coefficient tests, and t-tests. The results of the study indicate that tax knowledge significantly influences students' interest in pursuing a career in taxation. The validity test shows valid results, while the reliability test confirms that the data used is reliable. The correlation test results demonstrate a strong relationship between tax knowledge (variable X) and career interest (variable Y). The simple regression analysis shows that variable X has a positive impact on variable Y, with a determination coefficient of 49.4%. This means that nearly half of the students' interest in pursuing a career in taxation is influenced by their knowledge of taxation, while the remaining portion is influenced by other factors. The t-test reveals a significance value of less than 0.05, indicating that there is a significant influence between tax knowledge and the career interest of accounting students in the field of taxation.
