Authors: Leišytė Liudvika , Pekşen Sude , Tönnes Lina
Published: December 2022

The aim of this article is to examine the effect of New Public Management (NPM) inspired universityhuman resource management (HRM) practices on gender segregation at universities. Drawing on gender and organisational theories, we conducted a case study of a managerial university in Lithuania drawing on analyses of policy documents, websites and senior academic staff survey data (n=142). We find vertical gender segregation in the management structures of the case study university, with women academics being more likely to experience career progression barriers than men. This study contributes to higher education, gender and management research in three important ways: (1) by providing empirical evidence of the persistence of gender segregation at a university, despite the transformation of university HRM practices, (2) by providing a more nuanced picture regarding gender and tokenism among university management, (3) by pointing out that despite the long tradition of women employment in the post-Soviet Central and Eastern European context, universities are still the bastions of the masculine culture and power, where women academics face a ‘glass ceiling’ to reach management positions. We discuss the practical implications for gender-balanced composition of higher education management at Lithuanian universities.

Objectives: We compared the effect of the online Balint group and pharmacotherapy on COVID-19-induced anxiety in Iranian healthcare workers (HCWs). Methods: In the current clinical trial in the north of Iran in 2021, the participants were randomly assigned to two groups, including the Balint group (eight 60-minute online sessions) and the pharmacotherapy group (sertraline), following a phone screening procedure by a psychiatrist. The groups filled out two questionnaires, namely the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale and Corona Disease Anxiety Scale, at baseline and after the intervention (fourth week). Results: Forty-five HCWs were assessed. There was a significant difference in total anxiety score and also in sub-component in each group (P ≤ 0.001). No significant differences were observed regarding the effectiveness of both interventions in anxiety (P = 0.52); however, the pharmacotherapy interventions significantly affected the resilience and related subscales (P ≤ 0.05). The domain of spiritual influences significantly increased in the pharmacotherapy group (P = 0.031). Conclusions: Balint group and pharmacotherapy can improve COVID-19-induced anxiety and boost resilience in HCWs.

A Study on the Level of Customer Awareness Towards Green Products in Theni District
Authors: Mayandi K
Published: December 2022

As global awareness of climate change has grown, companies have changed their strategies to help protect the environment by reducing the negative climate impact of their products and services. They promote products that are both energy efficient and recyclable. The market has transformed due to environmental concerns, with the creation of a new market segment focused on environmentally friendly principles. Many companies are increasingly producing environmentally friendly products and consumers are showing an increased desire to buy them. The increase in pollution and environmental damage caused by traditional manufacturing methods has necessitated the marketing of green products. Due to government restrictions and changing customer preferences globally, the majority of Indian companies have started marketing themselves as green organizations. In a country like India, where the population is so large, every consumer has the potential to reduce negative impacts on the environment by changing their buying behaviour. On the other hand, increased customer awareness of the environmental sensitivity of things is an essential part of consumers' growing responsibility in terms of consumption. Companies' sustainability information is not always clear to consumers, and their claims are sometimes unreliable. Given the lack of information about green products, this is one of the key issues. Due to a lack of understanding of how to use eco-labels on products, consumers find it difficult to distinguish between nationally/internationally recognized eco-labels and self-reported false claims made by producers. Green products are generally expensive and little known to consumers. Customers may be skeptical of the company's green marketing strategy due to misleading advertising, misrepresentation, inaccurate labeling and inconsistent performance, all of which have contributed to consumer confusion. Many customers may not be willing to pay a higher price for environmentally friendly products, which reduce business revenue. In this context, the researchers tried to see to what extent customers knew about green products in Theni district. For the study, 750 customers were selected. Only customers who use green products are included in the sample. Primary data were collected from 750 customers using an interview schedule. Secondary data were mainly collected from journals, periodicals and books. To reach a meaningful conclusion, the data obtained for the study was edited, quantified, categorized and tabulated, and analyzed. Researchers have offered a number of suggestions for expanding the market for green products.

Retention Strategies in Print Media Industry – A Study Across Select Print Media Houses in Bengaluru City
Authors: A.M. Leelavathy
Published: December 2022

Achieving goals requires empowered individuals all around the world since competitive advantage is characterised by innovation, speed to market, and productivity. Employee morale is declining due to a lack of top management support, inadequate human resource practices, lack of recognition and success, and lack of support for limited resources. Employers are boosting expenditures in employee engagement to obtain a competitive advantage. However, research shows that more investment does not improve employee engagement, putting employee-generated competitive advantage at risk. As a result, the current study examines factors influencing employee engagement, and makes recommendations for boosting employee engagement to improve organizational performance. The study is exploratory in nature and seeks to discover the elements impacting print media retention techniques. The study employs a well-structured questionnaire developed after a literature review and validated by a panel of five experts. The questionnaire had demographic data and Likert scale questions (1=Strong Disagreement, 5=Strong Agreement). There is no accurate data on the number of print media enterprises in Bangalore. According to KOMPASS, there are 215 print media enterprises in Bangalore, 56 of which have over 250 employees. Using the Cochran formula, a Convenience sample of 100 people is picked with a 10% margin of error and a 95% confidence. After removing the outliers, 121 replies were chosen for the research out of 117 responses (Glenn D isreal). Data was analysed using SPSS for descriptive statistics and AMOS for SEM. Only permanent personnel completed and returned the questionnaires. The study concluded that recognition and appreciation, the organisational climate, and the interaction between subordinates and superiors influence employee happiness. Well-being of employees is affected by several things, such as how they are treated by their employers and how much money they get. Employee engagement techniques for the Business Environment and superior subordinate collaboration are vital in the print media business, where work must be approved and supported by immediate superiors for magazines and other processes.

A Study of the Factors Contributing to the Development of Tanzania Derivatives Markets
Authors: Chitundu Justus Techa
Published: December 2022

Purpose: The study's goal was to identify the key characteristics that drive the establishment of efficient and effective derivative markets in Tanzania.   

Methodology: The study employed a descriptive research approach. As a consequence of the deliberate non-probability selection approach, the population for the census was taken from the Dodoma Securities Exchange brokers, financial/investment advisors, and senior officials from the Capital Markets Authority of Tanzania. We used both primary and secondary data. The acquired data was checked, corrected, and coded before being analyzed with the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software. To summarize the data, descriptive statistics such as percentages and frequencies were employed. Tables, charts, and diagrams are used to present data. 

Findings: It was stated that because demand for derivatives is anticipated to be low, derivatives instruments would be scarce for hedging in the local market. Derivatives trading will increase market turnover in the underlying markets while also increasing the country's GDP. The performance of Tanzania's derivatives markets will be heavily impacted by the political climate, derivatives expertise, participant attitude, financial infrastructure, and overseas competition. It was determined that the central government's assistance in the development of derivatives markets could be assessed as reasonable, but investor knowledge of derivatives instruments was rated as poor. 

Conclusion: According to the research findings, government expenditure on financial infrastructure is insufficient for effective derivatives markets, and taxes impedes derivatives market growth. 

Recommendations: As a result, the report suggests that the government enhance its intervention by increasing expenditure on financial infrastructure and enacting tax policies that do not hinder derivative trading. Sensitization should also be carried out to raise public knowledge about the function of derivatives trading.

Objects and How to Get Them Based on Indonesian Law
Authors: Widiyono Try
Published: December 2022

In civil law, problems related to objects are regulated in the Second Book of the Civil Code Articles 499 to 1232, although there are articles that have been revoked by new laws such as Mortgage Rights which make mortgages for land. Objects for humans have important meanings, such as fulfillment and human welfare. Therefore, objects must be properly regulated to use objects for welfare. For this reason, legal experts make important principles about objects, among others, material rights are absolute rights, namely. This right can be defended against anyone. This is different from individual rights which can only be defended by certain parties. Another important principle is that material rights have a Droit de suit (right to follow), The system of regulating the law of matter is closed. This means that people cannot or cannot establish new material rights other than those already stipulated in the law. The principle of coercive law (dewingenrecht) Coercive law means that the enactment of the rules cannot be deviated by the parties. These material rights will not provide any other authority than what has been determined by law. Objects are also very important in providing credit or financing, namely as collateral for the provision of credit or financing profitably and profitably. Each object has procedures and procedures for obtaining it. Thus, it is appropriate to raise a legal issue on how to obtain an object based on Indonesian law. The research used in this law is normative legal research, which is a process to find the rule of law, legal principles, and legal doctrines to answer the legal issues faced to find legal norms that should be formed.

Authors: Brodsky Victor , Levine Leah , Solans Enric P. , Dola Samer , Chervony Larisa , Polak Simon
Published: December 2022

Context.—

More people receive a diagnosis of skin cancer each year in the United States than all other cancers combined. Many patients around the globe do not have access to highly trained dermatopathologists, whereas some biopsy diagnoses of patients who do have access result in disagreements between such specialists. Mechanomind has developed software based on a deep-learning algorithm to classify 40 different diagnostic dermatopathology entities to improve diagnostic accuracy and to enable improvements in turnaround times and effort allocation.

Objective.—

To assess the value of machine learning for microscopic tissue evaluation in dermatopathology.

Design.—

A retrospective study comparing diagnoses of hematoxylin and eosin–stained glass slides rendered by 2 senior board-certified pathologists not involved in algorithm creation with the machine learning algorithm’s classification was conducted. A total of 300 glass slides (1 slide per patient’s case) from 4 hospitals in the United States and Africa with common variations in tissue preparation, staining, and scanning methods were included in the study.

Results.—

The automated algorithm demonstrated sensitivity of 89 of 91 (97.8%), 107 of 107 (100%), and 101 of 102 (99%), as well as specificity of 204 of 209 (97.6%), 189 of 193 (97.9%), and 198 of 198 (100%) while identifying melanoma, nevi, and basal cell carcinoma in whole slide images, respectively.

Conclusions.—

Appropriately trained deep learning image analysis algorithms demonstrate high specificity and high sensitivity sufficient for use in screening, quality assurance, and workload distribution in anatomic pathology.

Published: December 2022

O Brasil abriga 37 gêneros de palmeiras que participam do equilíbrio ecológico de diferentes biomas. Na região sul há um gênero de palmeira, o Butia spp., que conta com oito espécies e está ameaçada de extinção. O extrativismo do butiá, através de manejo que permita sua exploração racional, pode ser uma alternativa para estimular sua conservação. O objetivo do artigo é apresentarum diagnóstico sobre o extrativismo do butiazeiro no estado do Rio Grande do Sul, fornecendo dados sistematizados acerca dessa realidade em nível estadual. A primeira etapa da pesquisa consistiu em umlevantamento sobre a quantidade de propriedades que possuem áreas de butiazais em todo estado, através daEmater-RS. A partir desses dados,foi possível definir uma amostra estatisticamente representativa, que culminou em entrevistas com105 produtores rurais. Os resultados mostram que há cerca de 5.300hectares de butiazais em propriedades rurais noestado, mais de 400 mil plantas distribuídas em 28 mil estabelecimentos rurais. O número de famílias que utilizam algum produto do butiazalé de mais de 16 mil. Comparando a utilização dos produtos do butiazal entre grupos de agricultores segundoo tipo de manejo, constatamos que a prática do extrativismo é mais difundida entre os produtores que adotam o manejo orgânico. O principal entrave para desenvolver o extrativismo de butiá é a falta de estrutura de processamento; enquanto as principais vantagens são a baixa demanda de insumos e a facilidade no manejo, na opinião dos produtores rurais.

Literary Lessons in Law: Legal Culture in a Changing Welfare State
Authors: Blomquist Helle
Published: December 2022

Can literary fiction provide a specifically advantageous framework for discussions about law and legal culture in an increasingly diverse society? This study addresses the challenges that some aspects of postmodernity pose to legal culture and legal thinking in the Danish welfare state. Showing how literature can take an open space in public debate I venture into an analysis of two Danish literary creations – the poem ‘The Coffee Break Team’ [Da: Kaffeholdet. My translation] from 2013 and a novel Pelle, The Conqueror, written 1907-10. As a third dimension a small sample of students is inquired about the poem. They are studying to become welfare state professionals and hence bearers of the relation between the state and its citizens. I discuss my literature samples against changes that have taken place in the Danish nation building project involving inclusion or exclusion of groups of the population. In a concluding section I balance my findings in relation to the initial question and place them within the law and literature tradition.
Spatial Justice and Street Art
Authors: Bengtsen Peter , Arvidsson Matilda
Published: December 2022

This article presents the notion of spatial justice as a way of considering the relationship between law and street art in a manner beyond the legal/illegal dichotomy. Through a series of empirical examples, it is demonstrated how street art literally takes a place already taken and imposes itself in an already appropriated urban public space. Street art thus redefines the space in contestation to law. However, street art is ephemeral and its taking of space is not permanent. Street art points to an alternative spatial definition, one of spatial justice, before – and, indeed, while – withdrawing from the space it occupies. Street art creates a rupture in the lawscape which makes explicit the presence and claims of law, thereby also making the need for law’s other – justice – pronounced. The question of relationality between law and street art which we bring forth in the present article plays itself out as a production of space and spatial justice in an exchange of place-taking, withdrawal and pronounciation. Spatial justice, as we perceive it here, is thus a way of thinking about law and street art not simply as polar opposites, but rather as co-dependent and bound together in an ongoing process of oscillation, mutual reinforcement and creativity.

Predictive Policing in China
Authors: Sprick Daniel
Published: December 2022

China’s public security forces are employing more and more technology in their push for an ‘informatization (信息化)’ of their police work. The application of analytical techniques for solving past crimes or preventing future crimes based on big data analysis is thereby a key component of China’s approach for technology-led policing. China’s holistic policy approach for the purpose of maintaining social stability that is encompassing an ever-growing range of societal issues, the vast investments of its police forces in new technologies and its paramount objective of security, that clearly supersedes inter alia concerns of privacy or transparency, may be considered extremely conducive to the establishment of effective predictive policing in China. This paper however argues, that the application of predictive policing in China is heavily flawed as the systemic risks and pitfalls of predictive policing cannot be mitigated but are rather exacerbated by China’s approach towards policing and its criminal justice system. It is therefore to be expected that predictive policing in China will mainly be a more refined tool for the selective suppression of already targeted groups by the police and does not substantially reduce crime or increase overall security.
Conocimiento y actitudes de la ciudadanía española sobre el big data y la inteligencia artificial
Authors: Sánchez-Holgado Patricia , Calderón Carlos Arcila , Blanco-Herrero David
Published: December 2022

La comunicación de la ciencia de datos, y específicamente del big data y la inteligencia artificial, es uno de los mayores retos de la sociedad actual, porque la tecnología está en constante cambio y la ciudadanía necesita comprenderla para tomar las mejores decisiones. Tradicionalmente la comunicación científica se ha centrado en el estudio de las actitudes y percepciones sociales hacia los temas más polémicos, como en el entorno español, con la Encuesta de Percepción Social de la Ciencia y la Tecnología, elaborada por la FECYT cada dos años. Este trabajo reporta los resultados del primer informe nacional centrado en el conocimiento, la comprensión y las actitudes del público hacia el big data y la inteligencia artificial. Se ha llevado a cabo una encuesta nacional en enero de 2020 a una muestra de 684 personas españolas. Se observa que el conocimiento sobre el big data y la inteligencia artificial es moderado, con un menor grado de conocimiento e interés entre las personas de más edad y que la inteligencia artificial es más conocida y despierta mayor interés y actitudes más favorables que el big data. La manera en que el público se informa no varía con respecto a las encuestas tradicionales, por lo que la información puede llegarles por esas vías.
Anatomical Diseases Caused by Congenital Duodenal Abnormalities
Authors: Kim Yu Jin , Kim Heung Up
Published: December 2022

Disorders of duodenal anatomy are rare and originate during the early embryological development of the foregut. These disorders are associated with significant morbidity in children; however, they may remain undetected during childhood and present during adolescence or adulthood. Duodenal atresia or web, annular pancreas, Ladd’s bands associated with midgut volvulus, and preduodenal portal vein represent duodenal anomalies that may cause partial or complete duodenal obstruction. Duodenal atresia and web occur secondary to incomplete recanalization of the duodenal lumen during the 8th to 10th week of gestation. These anomalies usually require surgical correction; however, the role of endoscopic interventions using innovative equipment is being investigated. Duodenal duplication cysts are an extremely rare congenital anomaly. Most abut the second or third portion of the duodenum and histologically show the normal duodenal wall layers. These lesions clinically present with abdominal pain, weight loss, vomiting, pancreatitis, or features of biliary tract obstruction. Imaging studies including transabdominal ultrasonography, computed tomography, MRI, and endoscopic ultrasonography are useful for detection of the cystic structure. Surgery is the conventional therapeutic modality used for management of duodenal duplication cysts; however, marsupialization (endoscopic intervention to establish communication between the cyst cavity and the duodenal lumen to facilitate duodenal drainage of cystic contents) is increasingly being performed in clinical practice. Duodenum inversum and duodenal diverticula are congenital duodenal disorders that require endoscopic or surgical management in symptomatic patients.
Research on Blockchain-based Traceability System for Agricultural Products
Authors: Dong Lingyun , Dong Rong
Published: December 2022

To solve the problems of the existing agricultural products traceability system data storage security is not high, centralization is serious, data is easy to be tampered with and data trust, as well as to protect the quality and safety of agricultural products, safeguard the rights and interests of consumers and strengthen the supervision of agricultural products industry. In this paper, we propose a research on the safety traceability system of agricultural products based on blockchain on the traceability business process of the existing agricultural products traceability system. The decentralization of blockchain can ensure the immutability, transparency and accuracy of data traceability, solve the problems in traditional agricultural products traceability, improve the safety of agricultural products, and provide strong data support for the supervision of agricultural products industry. The advantages and challenges of implementing blockchain-based agricultural products traceability system are also elaborated, and the important links when applying blockchain technology to agricultural products traceability system are analyzed to provide reference for the research and establishment of blockchain agricultural products traceability system.
Dream for a time of war
Authors: Straker Gillian
Published: December 2022

Perhaps one of the most profound relationships we have is to war and peace. Yet until war is upon us we give it little thought. Once it is upon us we often slip into feelings of impotence and lethargy. Yet our capacity to sustain peace in the external world is crucially dependent on the ebb and flow of our capacities, both as individuals and as a collective, to sustain a particular mind state.
Through case material, this paper explores the difficulties in sustaining a peace mentality in a time of war. It looks at the importance of connection to 'the music, not the words', when therapist and client may speak different languages (not only metaphorically but literally). Within this, the paper stresses the importance of dreams as expressed in the analyst's reverie and the analysand's visions.
In the spirit of Bevan-Brown
Authors: Broom Brian
Published: December 2022

This paper has two interwoven layers. The primary narrative pays tribute to C.M. Bevan-Brown, who catalysed the beginnings of the New Zealand Association of Psychotherapists in 1947. The secondary narrative picks up two elements from among his formidable array of interests and activities and, using them as a mirror, attempts to provoke awareness for readers in 2003 of some forces shaping our assumptions and behaviours. In particular, we look at our relationship to 'the establishment', the effects of post-modernism, the interface between psychotherapy and medicine, and psychotherapy's relative neglect of the body and embodiment.
A tribute to Roy Muir
Authors: Hubble Jayne
Published: December 2022

In June 2002, Dr Roy Muir died in Christchurch after a short illness. I was fortunate to know him for the last nine months of his life, benefiting from his training as psychiatrist and psychoanalyst. Within these areas, Roy had a special interest in, and vast experience and knowledge of, child and adolescent psychiatry,with a particular focus on the mother-infant pair. Those of us here in Christchurch who sought his expertise felt privileged to have a man of his professional standing in our psychiatric/psychotherapeutic community. When he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, on top of his existing Parkinson's Disease, the blow could not have felt more cruel.
