Authors: Awe Tarrell , Portman Agahe , Wood Susannah , Vivianni Anna
Published: September 2022

Descriptive data collected on student schedule changes have been missing in the literature. School counselors agree the task of changing schedules is overwhelming, but there is no measure indicating the extent of time and attention devoted to schedule changes. The purpose of this article is to present data gathered during the crucial schedule change period just prior to the beginning of a new academic term. The findings may provide an incentive for school counselors to begin collecting data related to scheduling and establish concrete measures for providing information for dissemination to school district decision makers.
Using the Enneagram to Facilitate the Supervision Relationship: A Qualitative Study
Authors: Perryman Kristi , Popejoy Erin , Suarez Anthony
Published: September 2022

A phenomenological study was conducted to gain knowledge of the lived experience of three master’s level counseling supervisees, with a doctoral student supervisor, utilizing the Enneagram, an ancient personality classification system of nine core personality types, throughout 15 weeks of supervision. This study explored the use of the Enneagram and its impact on the supervisory relationship. Emergent themes included: (a) self-awareness; (b) other awareness; (c) relationship and rapport; and (d) professional identity and role induction. The use of the Enneagram within supervision during early stages of counselor development appeared to be helpful to these students in fostering growth and learning.

This review of the literature highlights the benefits and limitations of using NGT and offers a suggested direction for continued study.
A Narrative Approach to Helping Families and Their Children Who Identify as Transgender or Gender Nonconforming
Authors: Klassen-Bolding Samantha , Callender Karisse
Published: September 2022

Counselors can help families of transgender or gender nonconforming youth adjust after a child or adolescent expresses differences in gender identity. We propose a community based narrative group therapy which may increase family cohesion and acceptance within the changing family dynamic. The program is psychoeducational and experiential, lasting eight sessions, and begins with psychoeducation about transgender individuals and heteronormative societies. It culminates in re-authoring and witnessing the family’s story in a manner which honors the youth’s gender identity. We propose this program as a strategy for helping practitioners connect diverse LGBTQ+ families with other families experiencing similar transitions.

Authors: Choudhary Yash , Verma Abhishek , Alsayadi Galal Mohsen Hussein , Sandal Pallavi , Kurmi Balak Das
Published: September 2022

Nanoparticles in drug-delivery systems are generated by a variety of research survey. Unique physicochemical characteristics of nanostructured biomaterials include their very small and structural adaptability, high surface area to mass ratio, high reactivity, and controlled size. It enables molecularly focused cancer treatment, targeted administration of early detection of cancer lesions, early detection of cancer lesions, imaging agents, and anticancer medications, identification of tumor molecular factors by non-invasive imaging. These characteristics may be used in medicine to get around some of the drawbacks of conventional treatments. They are employed in vivo to protect the drug entity in the systemic circulation, limit drug access to the targeted areas, and deliver the drug to the site of action at a regulated and sustained pace. It reduces adverse side effects and enables more effective drug use. It must be active and therapeutically effective while in circulation and present at the target location in the right amounts. We will now go through several elements of nanoparticle formulation, the impact of their properties, characterization, and the potential of nanomedicine, improving targeted delivery of therapeutic agents, applications in drug molecule delivery, the development of novel, more powerful diagnostic and screening techniques to expand the boundaries of molecular diagnostics, and difficulties in synthesis nanoparticle platforms for dispensing various drugs.
SABERES DOCENTES, PRÁTICAS EDUCATIVAS E FORMAÇÃO DE PROFESSORES: DESAFIOS, POSSIBILIDADES E DIREÇÕES FUTURAS
Authors: Rufino Luiz Gustavo Bonatto , Souza Neto Samuel de
Published: September 2022

The aim was to analyze the process of constitution of the field of teachers’ knowledge, especially from its relations between the contexts of teacher education and educational practices. In this way, an attempt was made to put into perspective the potential and development of this field, its current challenges and possible future directions. Through a theoretical essay, three axes were thematized, which permeated the following engenders: 1) conceptual aspects and theoretical foundation of this field; 2) presentation of some typologies and classifications currently found on this theme; 3) contextualization about the idea of knowledge reservoir mobilized in pedagogical practice and its implications nowadays. It is concluded that an analysis of teachers’ knowledge encourages new ways of understanding the relationship between professional education and professional practice. This perspective offers analytical structures supported by new paradigms linked to teaching and learning processes based on the idea of professionalization. In the meantime, several analogies can be listed in the perspective of amalgamation of teaching knowledge, so that we propose to analyze it anecdotally as a "watercolor of knowledge" in the light of a kind of color palette in a watercolor used by the teacher during his everyday professional actions. Thus, analyzing the process of elucidation of pedagogical practices in the light of teaching knowledge presents itself as a fruitful field of action and scientific investigation that deserves to be fostered and explored in view of its possibilities of collaboration with research in the field of education.

Authors: Muche Fenta Setegn , Mekonnen Fenta Haile
Published: September 2022

Background: One of the objectives of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) is to diminish the under-five mortality rate and improvement in maternal health. This study aims to identify factors that affect under-five mortality based on the 2016 EDHS dataset using the multilevel count regression model. Method: The EDHS data have a two-level hierarchical structure, with 14,370 women nested within 11 geographical regions. Multilevel count models were employed to predict the outcomes. Results: The data were found to have excess zeros (53.7%); the variance (1.697) is higher than its mean (0.90). Among families of count models, the HNB model was found to be a better fit for the dataset than the others. The study revealed that a child of multiple births is 1.45 more likely to die as compared with a single birth. Babies delivered in the private sector are a 0.65 lower risk of under-five mortality compared to the babies delivered at home. Conclusion: Vaccination of child, family size, age of mother, antenatal visit, birth interval, birth order, contraceptive used, father education level, mother education level, father occupation, place of delivery, child twin, age first birth and religion were significantly associated with under-five mortality. The Ministry of Health should work properly to raise the awareness of parents for vaccination, family planning services and efforts should be made to improve the parental educational level.
Research and Application of PID Controller with Feedforward Filtering Function
Authors: Wang Biao , Lin Shaojun
Published: September 2022

Most of the existing differential methods focus on the differential effect and do not make full use of the differential link’s filtering effect of reducing order and smoothing. In Proportion Integral Differential (PID) control, the introduction of differential can improve the dynamic performance of the system. However, the actual differential (containing differential gain) will be subject to the impact of high-frequency noises. Therefore, this paper proposes a differential with filtering function, which has weak effect on noise amplification, and strong effect on reducing order and smoothing. Firstly, a discrete differentiator was constructed based on the Newton interpolation, and the concept of “algorithm bandwidth” was defined to ensure the differential effect. Then, the proposed algorithm was used to design a new PID controller with feedforward filtering function. In the experiments, the proposed PID controller is applied to a high-performance hot water supply system. The result shows that the system obtains better control quality. It verifies that the proposed PID controller has a feedforward filtering function and can effectively remove high-frequency noise.
Adsorption and Its Applications: Using Zinc Adsorption on Water Hyacinth to Elaborate the Kinetics and Thermodynamics of Adsorption
Authors: Munene Mwaniki Joseph
Published: September 2022

Adsorption is a technique for removing adsorbate from the liquid or gas phase using adsorbents. The adsorbent is solid while the adsorbate can either be dissolved in liquid or gas. Adsorption has attracted the attention of many researchers because of its wide applicability in water and air purification, environment friendly, effectiveness, and ease to design as compared with the other methods. Activated carbon has been used as an effective adsorbent. However, its application is limited since it’s expensive. This has necessitated research interest in other materials that are safe and economical instead of commercial activated carbon. Some of the materials that have been successfully tested include sawdust, silica gel, zeolites, clay minerals and oxides, nanomaterial, agricultural by-products, biological waste, ion exchange resins and water hyacinth, etc. Although some of these materials are effective, they are not readily available. The kinetics of adsorption is done through testing the adsorption data against standard kinetic models and the model with the best line of fit, based on the values of coefficient of determination (R2) is selected. The adsorption process is described using isotherms such as Freundlich and Langmuir. This chapter sheds more light on adsorption, the most common adsorbents, kinetic models, isotherms, and adsorption applicability.
Post-Operative Infections Following Glaucoma Drainage Surgery
Authors: Ansari Ejaz
Published: September 2022

Glaucoma drainage surgery is performed commonly throughout the world for the surgical treatment of glaucoma. Typically, a guarded fistula is fashioned leading to a drainage bleb that represents subconjunctival collection and egress of aqueous humour from the eye. Bleb related infections (BRI) include blebitis and bleb related endophthalmitis (BRE). Although rare, BRI can be blinding, and appropriate vigilance is needed to ensure prompt diagnosis and treatment to save sight. Pre-operatively, blepharoconjunctivitis must be treated as well as any potential sources of infection. Clinicians must examine thoroughly to exclude bleb leaks and conjunctival erosions post-operatively. Patients must be educated about seeking care immediately if ocular redness, pain, discharge, or decreased vision develops. If BRI is diagnosed, sampling of ocular tissues is necessary for culture and sensitivity, followed by administration of broad-spectrum antibiotics. The interval from onset of symptoms to treatment, initial visual acuity, clarity of cornea at presentation, type of infecting organism, and presence or absence of diabetes mellitus are associated with final visual outcome particularly for BRE.
Role of Edible Insects as Food Source to Combat Food Security Challenges – Innovative and Traditional Approaches
Authors: Pervez Mahnoor , Manzoor Farkhanda
Published: September 2022

World Food Security organization committee stated that food security exists when safe, healthy, and nutritious food is present to all human beings, to meet their dietary needs. There are four pillars of food security such as availability, access, utilization, and stability, while the nutritional dimension is considered integral to the concept of food security. Protein is an essential dietary component. It is required for the proper growth of individuals. Meat is an excellent source of protein. However, because of the increasing demand for meat and declining agricultural land. There is an urgent need to discover alternative ways to full fill public protein demand. Edible insects are the best alternative source of protein. They can be harvested in large amounts. Insect meals can replace scarce fishmeal as feed ingredients. Insects are not only a source of protein but also contained various nutrients and minerals such as iron, zinc, and selenium. People showed awareness of the importance of insects as an essential dietary element. Edible insect harvesting is a new emerging agriculture sector and needs the special attention of researchers and the government. Thus, insects require the use of commercial processing methods that will render the protein suitable for food/feed formulation, while maintaining the safety, nutritional and sensory quality of the final product.

Published: September 2022

The development of technology creates opportunities for businesses, seamless communications and leisure activities to thrive. However, it also propels crime. In Nigeria, cyber threat continues to evolve rapidly with rising number of victims on daily bases. This necessitated the present study that examines the shock absorption mechanism of the cybercrime victims in Nigeria. The data for this study came from a variety of sources, including books, articles, essays, tabloids, and journal publications; a content analysis approach was used to evaluate the data and present using certain words, themes, concepts, or codifications. The study found that the peculiarity of cybercrime lies in the fact that the victims willingly land themselves into it without being forced to do so. It starts with what seem to be a friendly conversation and exchange of correspondences and pleasantries which turns into a scamming spree. To this end, victims are left battered and shattered, and could act irrationally against own-self before state actors set out to track the offender(s). Thus, victims of cybercrime could absorb shock by spending quality time with significant others. This enables them feel the love and moral supports from close associates, other than wallow in loneliness and isolation which can breed unpleasant stimuli.
Investigation of SAC Channel Effects on MIMO System Capacity and Optimal Coherence Distance Estimation under Different Angular Dispersions for Next-Gen Networks
Authors: Kumar Minchula Vinodh , Sasibhushana Rao Gottapu
Published: September 2022

In practical 4G/5G MIMO systems, it is difficult to have independent fading among sub channels between different antenna pairs. There will be sub channel correlation between the transmit and receive antenna pairs. Spatial Antenna Correlation (SAC) is an important constraint in the performance of MIMO system capacity. It is observed that, if there is correlation then it effects the random distribution of eigenvalues and more correlation means it is probable that a few eigenvalues are large and rest are small. Therefore, correlation effects the loss in capacity and is bound by its eigenvalue distribution. In this chapter, the different SAC channel effects on Ergodic and outage MIMO capacities are analyzed and the correlation between signals received among antenna pairs are investigated to determine the optimal coherence distance between the spatial antennas under different angular dispersion conditions (rich and poor scattering phenomena).
Long Term Success and Follow-Up after Bariatric Surgery
Authors: M. Jorge Juaquito , M. Tiesenga Frederick
Published: September 2022

Obesity is a multifactorial, chronic, and progressive disease whose pathogenesis is tied to a strong genetic component as well as a multitude of hormonal, metabolic, psychological, cultural and behavioral factors. Understanding the role these factors play, screening for them, and managing them appropriately, is important for effective weight loss. Psychology and behavior have profound implications on a patient’s willingness and ability to engage in treatment and to follow up after bariatric surgery. Dietary education, presence of clear expectations, patient adherence to recommendations, and follow-up, directly impact bariatric surgery outcomes. Understanding postsurgical outcome success and failure and identifying best clinical practices for optimizing and maintaining results after bariatric surgery continues to be a work in process.

Authors: Ziab Hussein , Talebian Saeed , Saleh Soha , Olyaei Gholam Reza , Mazbouh Rami , Hadian Mohammad Reza
Published: September 2022

Background: This study aimed to assess the test-retest intra-rater reliability and convergent validity of digital photography (DP) in detecting the postural orientation of children with cerebral palsy (CP). Methods: The study recruited children with various types of CP with the Gross Motor Function Classification System level I or II and spasticity < 2 on the Ashworth Scale, without any visual or cognitive impairments. Children who had undergone any surgical intervention or received a botulinum toxin injection within the previous six months were excluded. A digital camera was fixed at 1.5 meters from the participants at the height of 90 cm. Non-reflective markers were attached to eight anatomical landmarks to localize the upper and lower center of mass on both sides. The same examiner took three digital photos to detect intra-rater reliability using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Pearson's correlation and linear regression analysis were used to assess the convergent validity of the DP method compared with the Pediatric Balance Scale (PBS) scores. Results: Thirty children (7.44 ± 2.38 years) were assessed to test the reliability of DP, and 55 others (8.06 ± 2.19 years) participated in the convergent validity study. Intra-rater reliability was found to be perfect (ICC > 0.995) and there was a strong significant negative correlation between DP measures and PBS scores (Pearson's correlation > 0.75) with high adjusted R2 (R2 > 0.567), indicating goodness of fit between the measures. Conclusions: Digital photography (DP) is a reliable and valid method for assessing postural orientation in children with various types of CP.
Truth and Modalities (I)
Authors: Pataut Fabrice ,   Bulgarian Academy of Sciences
Published: September 2022

I contrast two construals of the thesis that truth is independent of verifiability in principle: a modal one and a non modal one. I argue in favor of the modal construal and then, on that basis, that independence holds across the board, i.e., even for statements that are verifiable by us relative to familiar, customary, non-skeptical standards.
Moral Challenges for Bauer’s Project of a Two-level Utilitarian AMA
Authors: Serafimova Silviya ,   Bulgarian Academy of Sciences
Published: September 2022

The main objective of this paper is to demonstrate why AI researchers’ attempts at developing projects of moral machines are a cause for concern regarding the way in which such machines can reach a certain level of morality. By comparing and contrasting Howard and Muntean’s model of a virtuous Artificial Autonomous Moral Agent (AAMA) (2017) and Bauer’s model of a two-level utilitarian Artificial Moral Agent (AMA) (2020), I draw the conclusion that both models raise, although in a different manner, some crucial issues. The latter are recognized as deriving from the complex relationships between human cognition and moral reasoning, as refracted through the lens of the idea of moral AI. In this context, special attention is paid to the complications which are triggered by the analogical thinking regarding the processes of replication of human morality in the field of machine ethics.
Mental Representations of Political Discourse in an Authoritarian Society
Authors: Bregasi Majlinda , Bikaj Albert ,   Bulgarian Academy of Sciences
Published: September 2022

After the Second World War Albania was left under the Eastern Bloc. In 1967 Enver Hoxha, the leader of Albania from 1944 until his death in 1985, decided to implement the Chinese Cultural Revolutionary model. This article analyzes his speech, on February 6, 1967, before his comrades, who were supposed to be his eyes, ears, and mouth. It was in this way that his face, his thoughts and his words became ubiquitous throughout the country. In a highly authoritarian society political discourse has a direct and pervasive impact on peoples’ lives and all aspects of the society. This article is organized by analytical themes based on aspects of discourse analysis, but we have also applied the cognitive approach and imagology as auxiliary theories in order to achieve a better understanding of mental representations, especially the ones used to reinforce stereotypes about rural people. Given that these mental representations are still fostered by current politicians in order to establish power, we note how important it still is to analyze them. Considering that political discourse is a product of individual and collective mental processes it is important to show, especially to younger generations, where these mental schemas come from.
“Die Erhebung des Menschengeistes zu Gott”. Evidence and Proof of God’s Existence, According to Hegel
Authors: Popescu Dragoș ,   Bulgarian Academy of Sciences
Published: September 2022

The paper examines the meaning of a Hegelian expression: “the ascension of the human spirit to God”, which was formulated in the philosopher’s 1829 summer course dedicated to the proofs of God’s existence. We argue that the Hegelian formula describes a double movement: the first one refers to the departure of thinking from the Phenomenon and its arrival to the Ideal, and the second one describes the opposite movement, in which thinking crosses the barrier between the Ideal and the Phenomenon.
Understanding and Imagination. A Kantian Interpretation of Hegel's “Inverted World”
Authors: Bilevsky Vlad ,   Bulgarian Academy of Sciences
Published: September 2022

In this article, I discuss an interpretation of Hegel's concept of the “Inverted World” (verkehrte Welt), which is present in the final part of the chapter on Force and Understanding in the Phenomenology of Spirit. Other than my own reading of the chapter, I also summarize the three most important interpretations of the verkehrte Welt from the last century: those of Jean Hyppolite, Hans-Georg Gadamer and Joseph Flay. I have chosen these three due to the typology of interpretation within them: the first one adopts a Christian reading of Hegel, the second a Hellenistic phenomenological interpretation, and the last one, which is closest to the interpretation I also propose, a reading consistent with the thought of Immanuel Kant. The article ends with a possible interpretation of Hegel's verkehrte Welt through Kant's “Schematism of the Pure Concepts of Understanding” from his Critique of Pure Reason, where I argue that Kant's fundamental faculty of imagination and its object, schemata, play the same role in Kant's system that Hegel's verkehrte Welt does in the development of natural consciousness.
Quantum Mechanics, Being and Cognition
Authors: Katzarski Ivan ,   Bulgarian Academy of Sciences
Published: September 2022

This article examines the epistemological views of key quantum physicists of the Copenhagen circle (Niels Bohr, Werner Heisenberg and Léon Rosenfeld). The discussion begins with a presentation of their conception of measurement, indeterminacy and complementarity, and goes on to focus on their views regarding the nature of being and knowledge. The author identifies the basic areas of consensus in the Copenhagen circle as well as the disagreements and disputes that arose between its members. Three main points are argued: (1) The fundamental epistemological consensus in the group was that subject and object are inseparable; that the subject participates in the formation of images of reality, which are multiple and depend on how the subject is concretely constituted historically; the disagreements within the group did not arise with logical inevitability from the principles of quantum mechanics but largely stemmed from ideological clash in the Cold War context. (2) Being linked to specific configurations of the subjects, knowledge is always relative; but it does not follow that knowledge is illusory or inadequate; on the contrary, it is the pretension of attaining the ultimate nature of things “in themselves” that leads to devaluation of any concrete knowledge. (3) The world is something external, generally independent of our desires and will, but at the same time is constructed as concrete objects through the specific configuration of each concrete subject.
Bootstrap’s Monadology. Symmetry and Mirroring Connections between Chew’s Bootstrap Theory and Leibniz’s Monadology
Authors: Ardelean Ramona ,   Bulgarian Academy of Sciences
Published: September 2022

The scientific paradigm which I rely upon in the framework of this article is quantum mechanics, whose “cognitive revolution” consisted of replacing the classical principle of separability with the principle of nonseparability or global intercorrelation. According to this intercorrelation, highlighted at the subatomic level, the part cannot be separated from the whole, because every part has a global and instantaneous connection with the whole universe. For this reason the foundation of the world cannot be the part (elementary particles), but the whole, which is therefore logically and ontologically prior to the part, i.e., self-consistent. Consequently, the principle of global intercorrelation elucidates and validates some of the oldest philosophical problems and intuitions about the unity or self-consistency of the world. An example in this sense is the bootstrap theory of American physicist Geoffrey Chew, which presents such striking similarities to the metaphysical system of Leibniz's Monadology that the two intertwine and mirror each other, like twin souls, to the extent that it could be stated that if Chew’s bootstrap theory represents the explanatory physical level of Leibniz’s metaphysics, then, analogously, Leibniz’s Monadology represents the explanatory metaphysical level of Chew’s physics.
The Cave and the Quadrivium
Authors: Lehman Jeffrey S. ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: September 2022

While classical schools today typically exhibit a carefully considered approach to the linguistic arts of the trivium, the equally important mathematical arts of the quadrivium have received relatively little consideration. This being so, mathematics is often approached in ways that are not distinctly classical. This article seeks to establish the importance of the quadrivial arts as a means of ascending from lower to higher things. Though most know Plato’s comparison of a lack of education to being imprisoned in a cave, relatively few are familiar with the role the quadrivial arts play in ascending from the cave. Because the mathematical arts cultivate and direct the imagination, they enable students to move beyond sensible particulars to the formation of forms and figures by the mind. Thus, the mathematical arts help free us from an undue preoccupation with lower things and direct us toward the pursuit of knowledge and what truly is.
Papillary Renal Neoplasm With Reverse Polarity: A Clinical, Pathologic, and Molecular Study of 8 Renal Tumors From a Single Institution
Authors: Nova-Camacho Luiz M. , Martin-Arruti Maialen , Díaz Irune Ruiz , Panizo-Santos Ángel
Published: September 2022

Context.—

In 2019, papillary renal neoplasm with reverse polarity (PRNRP) was defined as a new neoplasm because it has a predominately tubulopapillary pattern lined by a single layer of cuboidal and eosinophilic cells with apically located round nuclei. Immunohistochemically, this neoplasm showed expression of GATA-3 and L1CAM and had recurrent KRAS mutations.

Objective.—

To estimate the incidence of PRNRP and provide 8 additional cases with some variations in the morphology.

Design.—

We reviewed 1627 renal tumors from our hospital during a 21-year period (2000–2020). We reexamined 196 papillary renal cell carcinomas and selected those that met the diagnostic criteria for PRNRP.

Results.—

We found 8 cases consistent with PRNRP. The median age of the patients was 64.75 years; 7 patients were male, and 1 was female. Two patients had end-stage renal disease. No recurrence, metastasis, or tumor-related death occurred in a mean follow-up period of 67.62 months. Tumor size ranged from 1.6 to 3.7 cm. All cases were pT1. Seven cases (7 of 8; 87.5%) had predominantly cystic changes, and 1 had solid architecture. No foamy cells, clear cell change, or psammoma bodies were seen in any cases. All cases were positive for CK7, EMA, GATA3, and L1CAM. KRAS gene mutation was detected in 5 cases (5 of 8; 62.5%).

Conclusions.—

PRNRP represents 4.08% (8 of 196 cases) of papillary renal cell carcinomas and 0.49% (8 of 1627 cases) of all renal tumors in the 21-year period in our series. In our study, all cases exhibited an indolent clinical course. This supports that PRNRP has characteristic morphologic and molecular features.

Findings: The analyses of the theoretical aspect of fake science lead to the conclusion that due to the complexity of the phenomenon and significant negative social impact, the issue of scientific misinformation requires further empirical exploration as it remains a challenge for all stakeholders in society, organizations themselves included. The need to challenge false science is especially essential in the context of internetworked and knowledge-driven, smart organizations, which are becoming popular in the smart world. As information can be distorted, exaggerated, or fabricated to mislead recipients on purpose, organizations need to get involved in the prevention of misinformation as well. Research limitations/implications: It should be emphasized that this article is a theoretical introduction to the problem of scientific misinformation which requires further research on the reliability of scientific studies, especially in the field of institutional structures that enable the publication of works and data of low scientific quality. Originality/value: The article touches upon an essential and current issue for the field of both management science and organizations, although it should be treated as just an introduction to the problem concerned.
Evolution From Human Virtual Teams to Artificial Virtual Teams Supported by Artificial Intelligence. Results of Literature Analysis and Empirical Research
Authors:   Jan Kochanowski University of Kielce, Flak Olaf , Pyszka Adrian ,   University of Economics in Katowice
Published: September 2022

Design/methodology/approach: The research method is a literature review and our own empirical research concerning the new organizational reality with hybrid virtual teams consisting of humans as well as artificial agents. The research data was the results of a long-term observation of a virtual team which was conducted in June 2021 in a group of students who worked 36 hours using online management tools in TransistorsHead.com and MS Teams. Findings: The research has shown that virtual teams require different ways of communication and that consequences of working in such a team change the types of tasks, time spent working together as a group and social aspects of cooperation between team members. This experiment has shown that the decision-making process based on artificial entities can fulfill the requirements of virtual teams and that such entities can be considered as teammates or teams (Team As A Software – TAAS). It is also possible also to imitate a human-like manager (Manager As A Software – MAAS) or its higher evolutionary copy, namely a “sophisticated superhuman machine”. Research limitations/implications: The research results presented here are an example of research conducted from 2012 on, by means of online managerial tools, concerning the work of virtual teams and the opportunity to replace a human manager with a robot one. The answers to the research questions can only be applied to the studied group of students and cannot be generalized for all teams. Future research will be conducted with a wider group of respondents. Originality/value: The originality of the presented research results lies in the fact that the data collected during the research represents the real activities undertaken by the manager and his/her team members during the 36-hour work on the task concerned rather than being mere declarations of these activities by the respondents.
Green Competences and Responsible Innovation – Exploring the Reciprocity of Concepts Relationship
Authors:   Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, Sudolska Agata
Published: September 2022

Purpose: The purpose of the article is to investigate the relation between two novel management concepts: Green Competences (GCs) and Responsible Innovation (RI). Design/methodology/approach: The research is based on an integrative literature review. Findings: The research based on extensive literature studies confirms that the relationship between managers’ and employees’ GCs and a firm’s RI orientation is dynamic and reciprocal. This means that GCs acquired by organization members contribute to the development of a firm’s RI orientation and also that a company’s RI orientation has an impact on the increase of GCs among managers and employees in a firm. The conducted literature review enabled formulating five propositions regarding the relationship between GCs and RI. Research limitations/implications: The author of the article is aware of the limitations of the conducted research. First, the concepts of GCs as well as RI are very broad, defined and explained in the literature in numerous different ways. This makes them difficult to describe and assess with certainty. Due to the number of publications necessary to study in regard to the concepts of green competences and responsible innovations, the conducted studies should be treated as an initial stage for further analyses. Moreover, as the study is restricted by the re-interpretation of existing research, further empirical research is needed to test the five propositions. Finally, due to a very dynamic development of the research field, a static, one-time analysis seems to be insufficient. Therefore, the replication of the study in the future is recommended to observe changing trends and shifts in the research field over time. Originality/value: Based on the propositions regarding the relations between the GC and RI concepts, several models can be built to analyze the impact of organization members’ GCs on a company’s orientation towards RI as well as the impact of a firm’s RI orientation on the level of GCs acquired by managers and employees. Future research pathways refer mainly to the operationalization of the RI dimensions as well as a firm’s RI orientation
Demystifying the Role of Slack Resources and Paradox Mindset for Organizational Creativity in Family and Non-Family Firms
Authors:   University of Economics in Katowice, Bratnicka-Myśliwiec Katarzyna , Ingram Tomasz ,   University of Economics in Katowice
Published: September 2022

Purpose: The objective of the article is to explain mutual relationships between paradox mindset, slack resources, and organizational creativity in family and non-family businesses. The paper focuses on identifying similarities and differences between these two types of organizations. Design/methodology/approach: To investigate the relationships of our paper, we conducted empirical quantitative research on the sample of 343 Polish family and non-family businesses. The data were gathered in the fall of 2019. To assess the differences between family and non-family companies, we followed the recommendations of SEM multigroup analyses; thus, two estimations were made for every model – one where relationships between variables were restricted, and one where variables were unrestricted. Findings: We conclude that slack resources, financial and material, in particular, explain the variability of organizational creativity (operationalized in two dimensions: as creative novelty and as creative usefulness) to a great extent in both types of organization. At the same time, the paradox mindset leads to increased creative novelty in family businesses while it is unimportant in their non-family counterparts. Overall, the differences between the models of determinants of organizational creativity in family and non-family firms are not statistically significant in the present study. Research limitations/implications: The research results prove that slack resources are a necessary condition of organizational creativity in both family and non-family businesses. We believe that future research on the determinants of organizational creativity dimensions in family and non-family firms should consider more determinants, including organizational culture, strategy, mission, resource availability, organizational learning, and change management. Originality/value: The contribution of our study lies in developing the paradox mindset theory by conducting an analysis at the level of the entire organization, which has not attracted the attention of researchers so far. This study also provides arguments for the validity of the conceptualization and measurement of the paradox mindset in a one-dimensional approach.
The Impact of Nominal Negative Interest Rates on the Economy – Literature Review
Authors:   University of Economics in Katowice, Kubiczek Jakub
Published: September 2022

Until recently, negative nominal interest rates of the central bank were in the sphere of theoretical considerations. In 2009, the Swedish Central Bank was the first to implement a negative interest rate policy (NIRP). Since then, the NIRP has been implemented by the National Bank of Denmark, the European Central Bank, the Swiss National Bank and the National Bank of Japan. Unfortunately, due to the large number of simultaneous factors affecting the economy, it is extremely difficult to determine the long-term effects of NIRP implementation. Furthermore, the magnitude of the impact and the global extent of the coronavirus pandemic would have a significant impact on the dilatation, so the focus was on pre-pandemic issues. This paper is a literature review and it aims to synthetize information about the impact of negative interest rates on the market – in financial and real spheres. In this paper, both the results of scientific research and the opinions of experts were used, then the impact of negative nominal interest rates on the financial and real sectors was assessed. The results show that most authors highlight an adverse impact of negative interest rates on the stability of the banking sector regardless of the country. The greatest fear of the NIRP implementation by central banks is that the potential behavior of economic entities cannot be predicted with certainty, especially when it comes to cash deposit withdrawals from banks.
