Effects of different electronic HRM configurations on organizational consequences: An intra-country analysis
Authors: Nyathi Musa
Published: September 2024

Purpose: This study focuses on the effects of electronic-Human Resource Management (e-HRM) on organizational consequences. In this analysis, the effects of different configurations are assessed within the same socio-economic context. Design/Methodology: This study adopts a cross-sectional survey of e-HRM actors, such as human resource managers, IT professionals, and line managers. The data analysis was conducted using linear regression. A sample of 300 respondents was selected based on Gill et al.’s framework for obtaining a representative sample. Findings: ‘Integrated e-HRM configurations’ employed in multinational corporations (MNCs) generate positive and improved operational, relational, and transformational consequences or outcomes. In small-to-medium-sized organizations, the operational-user configuration exhibits positive but lower operational, relational, and transformational consequences. However, the socio-economic variables used to categorize e-HRM configurations do not apply in a developing economy context. Practical implications: The application of information technology in HRM is not the sole predictor of organizational consequences. The sophistication of the adopted e-HRM system deserves some consideration too. When managers adopt sophisticated e-HRM systems, they are likely to achieve positive and improved outcomes. More predictor variables need to be uncovered for an elaborate categorization of effective e-HRM configurations. Originality/value: The contextual factors that define effective e-HRM configurations are not consistent across different socio-economic contexts. Company-based categorization of effective configurations is advisable. This study establishes the limitations of current categorization variables in explaining effective e-HRM systems.

Authors: Yusof Nadiah , Ismail Amirah , Abd Majid Nazatul Aini
Published: September 2024

It has been proven that the large-scale image dataset is strictly complex in content-based image retrieval (CBIR) as the present strategies in CBIR might have difficulties in processing it. Other than this, near-duplicate images would possibly consume space, in which as an alternative can be used for storing other or unique images. In order to solve these problems, MapReduce has been used for speed-up filtering near-duplicate images. However, there is still a lack of accuracy in detecting near-duplicate images. Hence, this study has discovered that image features extraction by means of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) technique, which is primarily based on the matrix of image representation that will expand the similarity of detection. There is a need whereby PCA approach requires to be enhanced resulting from the lack of the extraction of features in Songket motives images. Therefore, this study proposes a new hybrid model that will integrate PCA with MapReduce for image feature extraction and clustering the large-scale image dataset in the cloud environment. In view of this, the present study employs the use of a qualitative experimental design model and goes through three main phases iteration: firstly, is the analysis and design phase, secondly is a development phase and lastly is testing and evaluation phase. However, this study focuses only on the analysis and design phase. The outcomes process of the empirical phase is followed by designing the algorithm and model according to the result of literature reviews. The expected results of thisstudy is a proposed model and extract principal component elements of the large-scale image dataset using PCA, as well as boosting up time in filtering the images through MapReduce environment.

Authors: Mešić Elmedin , Muminović Adil , Delić Muamer , Čolić Mirsad , Pervan Nedim
Published: September 2024

In this paper, an analytical calculation of load on bridge crane carts winch wheel loads was performed based on which FEM analysis and topological wheel optimization were performed. After the calculation, a standard wheel diameter was adopted. During FEM analysis in the CAD system, SolidWorks noted that certain surface areas had extremely low stress values, which was the main reason for the topological optimization of the wheel. The topological optimization of the geometric 3D model of the wheel is made in the CAESS ProTOp software, resulting in optimized 3D geometric wheel model. These models offer a number of advantages, such as saving materials to produce, reducing their own weight, balance stress conditions and easy customization model optimized technologies of additive manufacturing. This model of analysis and optimization was performed on the laboratory model of the bridge crane and it is applicable to all types of cranes.

Authors: Šlibar Barbara
Published: September 2024

Nowadays, the use of Open Data has become more common and prominent, but there are a lot of questions regarding its quality. Most of the revised researches deal with the quality of Open Data portals, rather than estimation of the open datasets quality. Therefore, the main idea of this research is lowering to the level of the dataset itself in order to assess how much such data is downloaded by end users of Open Data portals on the basis of general dataset characteristics. A model for predicting the number of downloads of open datasets based on their general characteristics was constructed using the Naïve Bayes Classifier. Based on the obtained results, it is discussed if the certain dataset character is good predictor of open dataset downloading and to what extent.

Research Administration: A Historical Retrospective of NCURA Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Focused on Gender in Leadership
Authors: Qureshi Saiqa Anne , Musalini Laneika , Woods Marianne
Published: September 2024

What is new?

This study is a reflective comparison of the data of membership and leadership across industries, with a qualitative retrospective and a discussion of diversity, equity, and inclusion within NCURA, the National Council of University Research Administrators, as that organization had a far higher percentage of female leadership over time.

What was the approach?

The paper focuses on data comparing the NCURA organization with other organizations over time in terms of female leadership, and considers the causes of why that difference exists.

What is the academic impact?

The National Council of University Research Administrators (NCURA) has been at the forefront of female leadership, with both the number and percentage of elected female leaders far outpacing comparable measures in other professions, since the 1970’s. What drove this consistent strength, what allowed female leaders to be elected, and what innovation in practice areas in research administration, drove improved diversity, equity, and inclusion inside the profession?

What is the wider impact?

In addition to female leadership within the organization, NCURA membership today is almost 81% female (as identified from NCURA membership profile data). Could this data point be the sole contributing factor for the massive increase in female leaders within NCURA? This study will consider female leadership both in the organization and the elected officers, specifically the presidency.

Authors:   Postgraduate Student of the Law Faculty of the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, Abrosimov Anton V.
Published: September 2024

This article explores the meaning, purpose and practical application of the evaluative category of reasonableness in Russian civil law. In the scientific literature, two similar names are usually found — the evaluative category of reasonableness and the principle of reasonableness. In this study, reasonableness is considered as a separate concept introduced into civil law and applied by the courts. The article makes a selective analysis of judicial practice on this issue, points to a certain correlation between the legal concepts of reasonableness and good faith, and then, based on existing practice and scientific doctrine, conclusions are drawn about the applicability and appointment of the legal category of reasonableness in Russian civil law.

Published: September 2024

The article is devoted to the civil law regime of digital financial assets as objects of civil rights. The contradictions existing in the legislation regarding the place of digital rights in the system of objects of civil rights are shown. In particular, attention is drawn to the inconsistency of the legislator in solving the issue of the ratio of digital financial assets and non-documentary securities. A study of the signs of undocumented securities was carried out and the presence of these signs in digital financial assets was shown. The necessity of extending civil legislation on non-documentary securities to digital financial assets is substantiated. The study is relevant due to the fact that digital financial assets have already appeared in practice today. In particular, these are digital financial assets issued by PJSC MMC Norilsk Nickel to its supplier, LLC Sever Group of Companies.
On the Dualism of State and Law in the Context of the Category of Justice
Authors:   Postgraduate Student of the Law Faculty of the Russian State Academy of Intellectual Property, Afanasyev Leonid S.
Published: September 2024

The article deals with the dualism of state and law existing in legal theory. It is emphasized that duality implies the opposition of two categories, in which one cannot completely absorb the other; one contains the foundation for the other, opposes it and supports it. It is stated that the main direction of law is dogmatics (knowledge and application of legal laws); it is not based on theorizing, which is intended to explain, not to change the approach to the conditions of life. The issues of theorizing the essence of the state and the essence of law in their opposition and interaction are analyzed. The issues of the social origin of law are studied in the context of its non-belonging to the law of religious and ethical norms. It is argued that, along with state law, there is another law in its multitude. It is noted that the dualism of law and the state is a search for a primary category, an attempt to reduce one to the other. It is concluded that numerous theories of law proceed from reading law through the prism of the state. The idea is substantiated that the main thing for the existence of both phenomena of the social order (state and law) is the need for justice.

Avaliação do estado ambiental da paisagem costeira de Aracaju/SE, Brasil
Authors: Santos Oliveira Mota Luana , Castro dos Santos Geisedrielly
Published: September 2024

A cidade de Aracaju/SE tem sido palco de um processo de urbanização desmedido, associado à ausência de um planejamento ambiental eficaz, o que tem ocasionado a supressão de feições naturais e a interrupção das suas funções naturais e induzido uma série de processos geoecológicos degradantes. Tendo em vista tal problemática, o presente artigo tem por objetivo realizar uma avaliação qualitativa do estado ambiental da paisagem costeira de Aracaju/SE, alicerçado nos preceitos teórico-metodológicos manifestos na Geoecologia das Paisagens. As etapas metodológicas perfizeram a análise da estruturação natural da paisagem; a avaliação da inserção antrópica; e a análise do estado ambiental da paisagem. O estudo realizado apontou que grande parte da área investigada pode ser inserida no nível de instabilidade, que se revela na ocorrência de processos geoecológicos degradantes a exemplo de alteração da drenagem natural, fragmentação dos ecossistemas, aumento da frequência e intensidade dos alagamentos, alteração da dinâmica sedimentar e processos erosivos. Não obstante esse cenário, a paisagem costeira de Aracaju ainda dispõe de unidades com grau maior de estabilidade, mas que estão sujeitas a processos degradantes, haja vista a ausência de políticas públicas efetivas que visem dirimir o impacto do avanço da ocupação na paisagem costeira.

Published: September 2024

O processo persistente de retalhamento e subdivisão dos remanescentes da Mata Atlântica comprometem o Hotspot de diversidade biológica, o endemismo e os serviços ecossistêmicos indispensáveis a vida. Sob o viés da Ecologia da Paisagem, este artigo objetiva analisar a fragmentação estrutural do habitat dos remanescentes florestais de Mata Atlântica no sul do Brasil através de métricas da paisagem. O mapeamento de uso e cobertura da terra e fragmentos florestais utilizou imagens CBERS 4A/WPM, processadas a partir do QGIS 3.16, submetida as rotinas do FRAGSTATS 4.2® para cálculo dos índices de ecologia. Foram mapeados 870 fragmentos florestais com área de 15.176,06 ha, correspondendo a mais de 50% da superfície da área de estudo, com grande extensão de bordas e alto índice de retalhamento. Mais de 90% dos fragmentos são inferiores a 5 ha. A porcentagem da paisagem ocupada pelo maior fragmento da classe é superior a 85%, correspondendo aos dois grandes fragmentos centrais (>150 ha) onde estão duas importantes unidades de conservação da região. A complexidade e sinuosidade das formas apresenta trechos irregulares e subdivididos que podem ser indicativos de vulnerabilidade para os fragmentos maiores. Contudo, a alta coesão dos remanescentes está atrelada ao grande percentual de fragmentos até 75 ha.

Published: September 2024

Information management skills are essential for students. This research aimed to identify and describe the understanding, experience, awareness, and meaning of Masters & Doctoral students in managing lecture material files. This qualitative descriptive research used a phenomenological approach. The research subjects were 10 Masters & Doctoral students. This research produced the following findings: students have understood personal information management as managing information and organizing data, and the student experience in managing learning information, including downloading, skimming, creating folders, naming files, backing up files, writing notes, and grouping files in private WhatsApp groups. The act of managing information is based on control from the outside, such as being influenced by friends when situations and circumstances are urgent or needed, and the quality of the smartphone, while control from the inside is only because they often forget. The critical meaning of implementing personal information management is that it is a matter of convenience and self-awareness. This research benefits the expansion and development of the educational technology area, especially the management area.

Authors: Orton Du Toit , Linde Bennie , Jonker Cara
Published: September 2024

Although individuals who experience a vocational calling tend to be less receptive to psychological distress causing burnout, depression and turnover the prevalence of these cases are on the rise among religious ministers. This hitherto unexplained phenomenon is investigated in this study by exploring psychological contract violation experience with religious ministers in South Africa. A total of 11 participants were interviewed using a narrative approach, forming a qualitative study exploring the content of calling, expectations created by calling in reaction to it and the perceived violation of these expectations in the vocational setting. The result indicates that religious ministers do indeed experience psychological contract violation that leads to a host of negative effects.

‘n Ondersoek na psigologiese kontrak skending- en roeping ervaring by geestelike leiers.
Alhoewel individue wat ‘n roeping ervaar die geneigdheid het om minder vatbaar te wees vir psigologiese stress wat uitbranding, depressie en omkeer-intensie voorafgaan, is daar ‘n toenemend hoër voorkoms hiervan by geestelike leiers. Hierdie onverklaarde fenomeen word in hierdie studie ondersoek deur psigologiese kontrak verbreking ervarings onder geestelike leiers in Suid Afrika te ondersoek. ‘n Totaal van 11 deelnemers is by wyse van narratiewe onderhoude ondervra om ‘n kwalitatiewe studie te doen wat die inhoud van roeping, verwagtinge vanuit die roeping en beleefde skending van hierdie verwagtinge in die loopbaankonteks te ondersoek. Die resultaat dui daarop dat geestelike leiers wel psigologiese kontrak skending ervaar wat negatiewe gevolge inhou.

A transformação dos cuidados de saúde mental em Portugal, nos anos recentes tem sido determinante para uma maior humanização, melhor organização e proximidade. Com um foco predominantemente comunitário, os enfermeiros especialistas em Enfermagem de Saúde Mental e Psiquiátrica têm um importante papel na sua implementação, pelo seu conhecimento e prática, incluídos em equipas interdisciplinares, dando contributos através de intervenções conjuntas e autónomas, ao longo do ciclo vital, através da promoção da saúde mental, interpretação do sofrimento mental e acompanhamento na doença mental, em contextos comunitários e hospitalares.

Introdução: O sono é uma das necessidades primordiais do ser humano, cujo papel fundamental é relaxar e restabelecer o organismo para um novo ciclo. A privação de sono e o trabalho por turnos podem agravar as condições de saúde física e mental dos enfermeiros que trabalham por turnos. Objetivo: Analisar a qualidade do sono de enfermeiros de um serviço de urgência de um hospital da região norte de Portugal e a sua relação com o trabalho por turnos. Metodologia: Estudo descritivo-correlacional, transversal e quantitativo. Aplicou-se o Índice de Qualidade de Sono de Pittsburgh, amostra constituída por 60 enfermeiros. Tratamento de dados foi elaborado com recurso à estatística descritiva e inferencial. Resultados: A maioria dos participantes foram enfermeiras (68,3%), idade entre 31 e 40 anos (61,7%). Verificámos, quer os enfermeiros do sexo feminino quer os com a categoria profissional de enfermeiros de cuidados gerais percecionaram uma má qualidade de sono. Os participantes com horário fixo, que trabalham em turnos noturnos e que têm até dois turnos noturnos por semana apresentaram uma qualidade de sono mais baixa, (80%) dos enfermeiros evidenciaram dificuldade em adormecer e percecionaram má qualidade de sono. Conclusão: É necessário intervir a nível individual e organizacional, para adoção de medidas que visem melhorar a qualidade de sono de enfermeiros que trabalham por turnos. Importa sensibilizar a adoção de estratégias de higiene do sono, promovendo hábitos de vida saudáveis, tendo em vista melhorar a qualidade do sono dos enfermeiros, o que se traduzirá numa melhoria dos cuidados saúde prestados.

SOMATOMETRIC CHARACTERS OF AN ANATONCHUS POPULATION (NEMATODA MONONCHIDAE) FROM GREECE: OBSERVATIONS ON ITS PREDATORY ABILITY
Authors: VOVLAS ALESSIO , FANELLI ELENA , TROCCOLI ALBERTO , DE LUCA FRANCESCA
Published: September 2024

A population containing specimens belonging to Anatonchus genus collected along the edge of irrigation canals from Filippiada, Epirus (N.W Greece) is described and illustrated. The predatory ability and type of feeding against phytoparasitic free-living nematodes and larval specimens of insects (Curculionoidea: Coleoptera) are also showed. All observations were based on direct analysis of the gut contents in glycerine infiltrated specimens. The feeding type of its trophic activity was characterized by engulfing whole and intact prey, while in cases of large size nematode prey or larvae of insects, the piercing and content-sucking feeding type was observed. Several entire tylenchid and/or dorylaimid nematode species were observed in the digestive tract of Anantonchus sp. (75%). No evidence of preference for selecting its prey species was observed. Key Words: Greece, Mononchida, Predation, Potential Biological Control, Taxonomy
PRELIMINARY RESULTS ON THE PARASITIC NEMATODE DELADENUS SIRICIDICOLA ASSOCIATED TO MONOCHAMUS SPP. IN PINE WOODS OF CAMPANIA REGION, ITALY

During phytosanitary monitoring activities carried out in Campania (southern Italy) in the years 2018-2021, focused on pine sawyer beetles of the genus Monochamus spp. considered potential insect vectors of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, the facultative parasitic nematode Deladenus siricidicola (Nematoda Neotylenchidae) was collected from adult beetles of Monochamus galloprovincialis. Deladenus siricidicola is the primary biological control agent largely applied against the wood wasp Sirex noctilio (Hymenoptera, Siricidae), an invasive pest of Southern Hemisphere and North America, where it heavily damages pine wood plantations allowing the spread of its symbiotic organism, the white-rot agent Amylostereum areolatum. The interesting record of this beneficial nematode associated with a pine sawyer beetle of the genus Monochamus represents an opportunity to investigate the relationships of D. siricidicola with other organisms in forest ecosystems and could lead to a new step in the control of the threat posed by the harmful pine wood nematode B. xylophilus. Key Words: Deladenus siricidicola, pine sawyer beetles, Pinus spp., pine wilt nematode
NEMATOLOGICAL POPULATION OF THE MUD VOLCANOES SALINELLE DEI CAPPUCCINI (PATERNÒ, CATANIA, ITALIA)
Authors: FAZIO CRISTOFORO , LEONE DIEGO , CLAUSI MIRELLA
Published: September 2024

The municipality of Paternò (CT), located south-west of the slopes of Etna, hosts in its territory numerous sites in which natural manifestations occur characterized by emissions of high salinity fluids to the surface, linked to processes of secondary volcanism, called locally “Salinelle”. These are clayey areas, rich in chlorine, alkali and numerous metals, which, near the areas with greater emissive activity, do not allow the development of vegetation. The peculiarity of these areas and the lack of vegetation determine an environment in which the fauna, especially invertebrates, is extremely limited, if not absent, and is mainly made up of flying insects. Precisely to verify the possibility of survival and repopulation of the fauna in these environments, a study was carried out on the nematological communities in the Salinelle di Paternò area, and in particular in the area identified as “Salinelle dei Cappuccini di Paternò”. The sampling sites were identified both in active emission areas and in inactive areas with or without vegetation. The extracted nematodes were determined at the genus level and were used for ecological analysis. The results obtained demonstrate the progressive increase in biodiversity of the nematological community from the areas of active emission to those recolonized by vegetation. Key Words: mud volcanoes; nematodes community, nematological indices, biodiversity.

O livro "Das sombras às cores: a verbetização de palavras do movimento LGBT", de Jonathan Ribeiro Farias de Moura, apresenta uma história contada do interior do conhecimento linguístico sobre a história do movimento LGBT no Brasil. O autor expõe análises fundamentadas na Análise de Discurso Francesa ao analisar o dicionário Aurélia, ligando ideologia e interpretação ao acontecimento discursivo. Moura também apresenta os conceitos de verbetização, posição-sujeito homossexual, função autor homossexual, além de se aprofundar na questão sobre sexualidade e identidade de gênero no campo da linguística. O livro tem como objetivo mostrar a diferença entre verbatizar e dicionarizar, ressaltar que a língua também é pajubá. A língua é resistência ao dar visibilidade, voz e memória.
