Authors: Tachytskaya Katsiaryna
Published: January 2024

Article is devoted to studying of unemployment as a negative social and economic phenomenon in the life of a society. As the growth of the given parameter conducts to the shortage of produce. The structure of the unemployed according to the sex both in Grodno region, and across Belarus specifies prevalence of ‘female’ unemployment. A problem there is employment of youth. The disturbing tendency is traced at studying the structure of the age of the unemployed: the greatest share of the unemployed falls at the most productive age of 20-29 and 30-49 years. In the small regional centers the rate of unemployment is higher than in the large cities. This is connected with an absence of workplaces, backwardness of the real sector of economy, a weak level of development of social services. Therefore the state policy of employment aspires to provide equal opportunities to all physically fit citizens of Belarus, gives social guarantees and indemnifications to the unemployed, etc.

Wpływ akcesji Polski do Unii Europejskiej na produkcję żywca jagnięcego
Authors: Rokicki Tomasz
Published: January 2024

Głównym produktem chowu owiec na początku XXI w. jest żywiec rzeźny (jagnięcy).Oparcie chowu owiec prawie wyłącznie na produkcji żywca rzeźnego spowodowało radykalnąredukcję pogłowia. Produkcja jagnięciny w UE była niewystarczająca, gdyż w 2004 r. pokrywałazgłaszany popyt w 80% i wynosiła około 1 mln ton. Po przystąpieniu Polski do UE ponoszone byływysokie koszty związane ze sprzedażą jagniąt do innych krajów UE. Ceny uzyskiwane przysprzedaży jagniąt na rynek wewnętrzny były wyższe, jednak skala tego zjawiska była niewielka. Doodpowiedniej i sprawnej organizacji krajowego rynku mięsa jagnięcego konieczne staje się powołaniejednej grupy producenckiej
Opłacalność produkcji żywca wieprzowego w Polsce po integracji z UE
Authors: Szymańska Elżbieta
Published: January 2024

Celem badań było określenie zmian w opłacalności produkcji żywca wieprzowego w Polsce po integracji z UE. W analizie wykorzystano dane GUS, IERiGŻ oraz informacje z gospodarstw w Wielkopolsce, które produkowały 100 i więcej tuczników rocznie oraz prowadziły rachunkowość w ramach polskiego FADN. Z badań wynika, że na opłacalność produkcji żywca wieprzowego wpływają głownie ceny skupu trzody chlewnej oraz koszty pasz. Przystąpienie Polski do UE nie zlikwidowało zmian koniunkturalnych na rynku wieprzowiny. W okresie dekoniunktury większość producentów żywca wieprzowego nie podejmuje żadnych działań, ale część rolników przedłuża okres tuczu albo zmniejsza stada loch. W celu stabilizacji cen na rynku trzody chlewnej dąży się do wprowadzenia rozwiązań systemowych i poszukuje się nowych rynków zbytu.

Monopsony Power and Cost Structure: Evidence from the U.S. Hospital Industry
Authors: Pizzini Mina , Vansant Brian
Published: January 2024

We examine the association between monopsony power and hospital cost structure using data from more than 2,000 U.S. hospitals. Monopsony characterizes a market with a single buyer and many suppliers. Accordingly, monopsony power is a potentially critical determinant of cost structure because it affects managers’ resource procurement decisions. Results indicate that hospitals with monopsony power adopt more elastic cost structures, and monopsony power magnifies the positive relationship between demand uncertainty and cost elasticity identified in prior research. These findings suggest monopsony power lowers the costs of procuring resources on flexible, short-term, and variable bases as opposed to making long-term commitments. Therefore, due to the high fixed-cost nature of the industry, hospitals with monopsony power choose more variable cost structures and make larger cost structure adjustments in response to demand uncertainty. Although we conduct this research using hospitals, our theory and results have implications for other industries.

Optimal dose and type of physical activity to improve glycemic control in people diagnosed with type II diabetes mellitus: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Gallardo-Gómez Daniel , Alfonso-Rosa Rosa M , Ramos-Munell Javier , del Pozo-Cruz Jesús , Cruz Borja Del Pozo , Álvarez-Barbosa Francisco
Published: January 2024

BACKGROUND The optimal dose or type of physical activity to control glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in people with diabetes remains unknown. Current guidelines do not consider the baseline HbA1c for activity prescription.

PURPOSE To examine the dose-response relationship between physical activity and HbA1c (%) in individuals with type II diabetes.

DATA SOURCES A systematic search was performed in EMBASE, MEDLINE, Scopus, CINAHL, SportDiscus, and WOS.

STUDY SELECTION We included trials that involved participants diagnosed with type II diabetes that used any type of physical activity as intervention.

DATA EXTRACTION Pre-post HbA1c data, population and interventions characteristics, and descriptive statistics were collected to calculate change scores for each study arm.

DATA SYNTHESIS We used Bayesian random-effects meta-analyses to summarize high-quality evidence from 126 studies (6718 participants). The optimal physical activity dose was 1100 METs-min/week (Metabolic Equivalent of Task per week), resulting in HbA1c reductions ranging from –1.02% to –0.66% in severe uncontrolled diabetes, from –0.64% to –0.49% in uncontrolled diabetes, from –0.47% to –0.40% in controlled diabetes, and from –0.38% to –0.24% in prediabetes.

LIMITATION The time required to achieve these HbA1c reductions could not be estimated due to the heterogeneity between interventions’ duration and protocols, and the inter-personal variability of this outcome.

CONCLUSION This meta-analysis provides key information about the optimal weekly dose of physical activity for people with diabetes considering their baseline HbA1c level, and the effectiveness of different types of active interventions. These results enable clinicians to prescribe tailored physical activity programs for this population.
Spinal surgery and the risk of reoperation after total hip arthroplasty: a cohort study based on Swedish spine and hip arthroplasty registers
Authors: Eneqvist Ted , Persson Louise , Kojer Emma , Gunnarsson Linus , Gerdhem Paul
Published: January 2024

Background and purpose: Studies suggest increased revision risk of total hip arthroplasty (THA) in individuals with lumbar spinal fusion, but studies including non-fused individuals are lacking. We aimed to investigate whether individuals undergoing lumbar spinal stenosis surgery with or without fusion are at an increased risk of reoperation before or after THA.Patients and methods: The Swedish Spine Register and the Swedish arthroplasty register were searched from 2000 through 2021. Chi-square, Kaplan–Meier and binary multivariate logistic regression were used to compare reoperation rates up to 10 years after THA surgery.Results: 7,908 individuals had undergone lumbar spinal stenosis surgery (LSSS) (fusion n = 1,281) and THA. LSSS before THA compared with THA-only controls was associated with a higher risk of THA reoperations: 87 (2%) out of 3,892 vs. 123 (1%) out of 11,662 (P < 0.001). LSSS after THA compared with THA-only controls was not associated with a higher risk of reoperation, confirmed by Kaplan– Meier analyses and binary multivariate logistic regression. Mortality was lower in individuals undergoing both LSSS and THA, regardless of procedure order. There was no difference in THA reoperations in individuals who had undergone LSSS before THA without fusion or with fusion. The individuals who had undergone LSSS after THA with fusion had an increased risk of THA reoperation compared with those without fusion.Conclusion: LSSS with or without fusion before THA is associated with an increased risk of THA reoperation. Spinal fusion increased the risk of reoperation of THA when performed after THA.

Published: January 2024

Background and purpose: We aimed to calculate the prevalence of patellar dislocation (PD) and trochlear dysplasia (TD) in a national cohort aged 15–19 years in the Faroe Island.Patients and methods: All inhabitants in the Faroe Islands aged 15–19 years were invited to answer an online survey, including demographics and questions regarding prior PD. Participants with prior PD were invited for radiographs and MRI of both knees to be taken. Trochlear dysplasia was defined as one of the following: Dejour type A–D on radiographs, lateral trochlear inclination angle (LTI) < 11°, or trochlear depth < 3 mm on MRI.Results: 3,749 individuals were contacted, 41 were excluded, and 1,638 (44%) completed the survey. 146 reported a prior PD (the PD cohort) and 100 accepted to participate and have radiographs and MRI taken of both knees (the clinical PD cohort), 76 of whom were diagnosed with TD. The national prevalence of PD was 8.9%. The national prevalence of symptomatic TD was 6.8%. The prevalence of TD in the clinical PD cohort was 76%. TD was bilateral in 78% of TD patients, but only 27% of patients with bilateral TD had PD in both knees.Conclusion: The prevalence of PD in the Faroe Islands is found to be very high. The national prevalence of TD and the prevalence of TD in participants with prior PD is high, indicating a potential genetic influence.
Rom, roller og restriksjoner: Forskningsetiske problemstillinger i etnografisk profesjonsforskning
Authors: Ihlebæk Hanna Marie
Published: January 2024

This chapter deals with ethical issues in ethnographic research, a methodological approach in which the researcher aims to build emphatic relationships with the people studied to obtain an insider point of view on ongoing activities. Based on a situation that arose during fieldwork among nurses in a Norwegian hospital ward, the chapter reflects on methodological choices and ethical dilemmas that ethnographic research entails related to 1) how and when we researchers should enter the different rooms that comprise the field in our studies; 2) the roles we claim and are ascribed while in the field, and 3), considerations of how, when, and why we decide to leave. A main contribution of the chapter is to show and discuss how an ethical awareness can be enacted in meeting the unforeseen realities ‘on the spot’ and not only by adhering to bureaucratic regulations ‘from the desktop’. Furthermore, the chapter claims that to establish such an awareness we need broader and more open discussions about actual ethical dilemmas in ethnographic research, in order to promote ethical accountability as a discretionary, and hence relational, ongoing, and collective way of reasoning among qualitative researchers.
Data fra deltakende observasjon: Asylmottaket, politibilen og skjenkestedet
Authors: Buvik Kristin
Published: January 2024

In this chapter, I give examples from sociological studies that have used participant observation as a data collection method. The examples are taken from studies I have carried out in an asylum reception centre, in the back seat of a police car, and at drinking establishments.

When researchers participate in the social context we are interested in, we can access a unique amount of information. We can observe how people interact and we can sense moods, conflicts and relational environments. Participant observation brings the researcher close to the people, activities and relationships in different environments. Through participatory observation, the researcher becomes part of the social reality being studied and develops understandings by participating in people’s daily lives. Interpersonal relationships and interaction are often the researcher’s focus.

Through participant observation, we can gain access to what the informants take for granted: what they do not tell about, and what is natural for them in their environment. We can imagine, observe, smell, feel and taste when we look for the unsaid. All the impressions will affect the researcher’s experience and the observations made.

I also discuss how the role of researcher can create dilemmas in meeting with actors in the field being studied.
Hva slags data får vi av intervjuer? Hvordan gripe praksis, taus kunnskap og mer enn forskjønnende selvpresentasjoner med intervjuer
Authors: Mangset Marte
Published: January 2024

This chapter addresses two challenges in interviewing: how to grasp tacit and taken for granted practices and representations, and how to get data on accounts or practices that are not part of the official discourse on the phenomenon under study. Professional practices and life more generally are full of routinised practices and tacit knowledge that the people engaging in them are hardly aware of doing. Yet, such practices may be very defining for a profession, or be a key to understanding power-relations. However, how can we as researchers grasp them? Another challenge for researchers is the way people tend to say one thing and do something else. Getting behind established self-presentations and grasping people’s practices is a challenge, in particular through interviews. However, although we surely should try to diversify the methods we use, interviews are often the only or the best approach in a given situation. Does that mean that we should give up on getting data on practices? This chapter discusses the relationship between data on discourse (or accounts, representations, norms) and data on practice, and defines this relationship in terms of a continuum rather than a dichotomy. Finally, it discusses specific tools that one can use in interviews to get data on practice, and data on representations and norms closer to practice.
Intervjuer på Teams og telefon: Hva slags data gir medierte intervjuer?
Authors: Johannessen Lars E. F. , Rasmussen Erik Børve
Published: January 2024

In discussions of qualitative interviewing, face-to-face interviews are often understood as the “gold standard” and other interview forms are evaluated against this. Researchers who use data from telephone and video interviews must routinely defend their choice of an “inferior” method and highlight (and lament) the shortcomings of their data. In this chapter, we argue that this type of thinking is based on methodological prejudice and that researchers who work qualitatively will benefit from a more nuanced view of the strengths and weaknesses of different interview methods. Based on extant literature and experiences from our own research, we discuss and problematize the idealization of face-to-face interviews as the “gold standard”, and shed light on some key practical and methodological dimensions that are of relevance to researchers who might consider using mediated forms of interviewing.

Published: January 2024

This study sought to investigate Knowledge and attitudes of gender based violence among HIV-positive and HIV-negative youths in Zimbabwe. A cross-sectional mixed method research design was employed in the study. This study used random sampling approach to select respondents. The general youth population was sampled from the general population, while Youths living with HIV (YLHIV) was sampled from clinic records. This study was conducted in three provinces in Zimbabwe that are Matabeleland South, Harare and Manicaland. The study administered 600 questionnaires, conducted four focus group discussions. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS version 25) was used to analyse quantitative information while, FGD data was analysed using content analysis and Nvivo Version 11 software. The study shows moderate levels of knowledge about GBV with approximately 65% of the youths reported ever hearing of gender-based violence. The study findings show that YLHIV were more likely to have ever heard of gender-based violence, 71%, compared to HIV negative youths, 53%. The study shows that the majority of youths, 80%, reported radio as the major source of information about gender-based violence. Results show that Youths are more knowledgeable about physical-type violence such as sexual and physical, than soft violence such as emotional and economic. It is however encouraging to note that experience of physical abuse, albeit with some grueling reports of it, is quite low. A handful of youths, 9%, reported ever been physically abused in the past year. The study concludes that knowledge about GBV is moderate among the youth with YLHIV more likely to have ever heard of gender-based violence than HIV negative youths. Qualitative findings show that reporting on GBV was not encouraged largely on cultural grounds. Furthermore, reporting on sexual abuse for both HIV positive and negative youths was extremely hard.

Authors: Ayamba Eta nee Enow Vivian
Published: January 2024

Background: Depression frequently occurs among hemodialysis patients and it is associated with various adverse outcomes. Objective: This study sought to evaluate the effect of an educational intervention on the coping mechanisms for depression among hemodialysis patients having depression. Methods: This was a hospital based cross sectional interventional study which investigated the effect of education on the patients’ knowledge and practice regarding coping mechanisms for depression. Purposive and consecutive convenient sampling methods were used to select the study site and enroll participants to the study respectively. The study was conducted in the Hemodialysis Center at the Buea Regional Hospital (BRH) in Fako Division, South West Region of Cameroon. The study participants were made up of 63 hemodialysis patients aged 21years and above who met the inclusion criteria and gave their consent to participate in the study. The intervention was education on coping mechanisms for depression that was administered after a pretest. A semi-structured questionnaire made up of 10 questions was used to collect data on knowledge and practice of coping mechanisms for depression before and after the intervention to compare results. Each patient level of depression was noted. Patients with physical and cognitive impairment were excluded. Those who scored 7 and above were said to be knowledgeable and practiced depression coping mechanisms. Data was collected from May 13 to June 15, 2019, data collected was coded and entered into EPI and exported to SPSS version 23 for analysis. Results: The majority (80.6%) of the participants knew and had used one or more of the depression coping mechanisms, but 41.8% of them did not know if it could manage depression effectively. Educating hemodialysis patients on depression coping mechanisms significantly decreased their levels of depression x2 =39.688; (p<0.00). Conclusion: Some patients undergoing hemodialysis were not knowledgeable on the coping mechanisms for depression and did not know if these could manage depression effectively. Therefore, education is vital in decreasing levels of depression amongst hemodialysis patients. This study was conducted in only one health facility hence, the results may not generalized to the entire nation

The rapid development of technology and the internet today supports all online-based businesses, including transportation service businesses. One of the online ojek transportation services in Indonesia is GoRide from the Gojek application platform. The selective attitude of customers and limited public mobility during this pandemic has resulted in tighter competition because many other brands provide similar services. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the influence of service quality, brand trust, and advertising on the purchase decision of GoRide services from Gojek during the COVID-19 pandemic in Jakarta. The data collection technique used in this study was a communication technique through the distribution of questionnaires electronically through Google Forms to 192 respondents. The sampling technique used is a non-probability sampling technique with a judgement sampling approach. The results of this study show that service quality has no influence on purchasing decisions. While brand trust and advertising have a positive and significant influence on purchasing decisions. The implications of this research highlight the importance of building and maintaining brand trust as well as effective advertising strategies to improve customer purchasing decisions.

Published: January 2024

During the two years of this pandemic, there has been an increasing sense of travel boredom. The reopening of various tourist attractions serves as a stimulus for tourists who want to enjoy the beauty of Bali again. With a special focus on Ubud, tourists express interest in exploring attractions, enjoying culinary experiences, and staying overnight. This study aims to comprehensively analyze the interaction between risk perception and beliefs related to tourists' intentions to visit Ubud. In addition, the study investigated the impact of risk perception on trust and subsequent influence on visiting intent, considering trust as a mediating variable. Quantitative analysis, using SEM Smart PLS, was performed on a sample of 100 individuals selected through accidental sampling. The results showed that risk perception had a negative impact on visiting intention and trust, while trust had a positive impact on visiting intent. This highlights the inverse relationship between risk and interest in visiting Ubud, with trust acting as a partial mediator. In conclusion, this study provides valuable insights into the dynamics of tourist behavior during the ongoing pandemic.

The financial sector of IDX is important in the Indonesian economy. This sector consists of various kinds of financial companies, such as banks, insurance companies, and investment companies, all of which have unique characteristics and challenges in terms of the utilization of intellectual capital. Although the financial sector has played a vital role in the Indonesian economy, utilising intellectual capital is still a new phenomenon that has yet to be fully adopted. It needs further study its impact on company performance, sustainable growth, and firm value. Therefore, this research aims to identify the impact of intellectual capital and its components on company performance, sustainable growth, and firm value in the financial sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2019-2022 period. The type of research used in this study is quantitative. The research results show that intellectual capital, notably Structural Capital, significantly impacts performance, growth, and firm value in the financial sector on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2019-2022 period. Additionally, measuring a company's market value relative to its book value or Tobin's Q significantly affects these three aspects. Therefore, this research can broaden the scope of previous literature that primarily focused on the role of intellectual capital in the manufacturing, technology, and banking sectors by involving data and analysis from the IDX financial sector during the 2019-2022 period.

There are shipyard industry companies that provide measuring instrument calibration services. In 2022, the calibration service experienced a decline in marketing and a lack of external market segments compared to internal ones. This research aims to identify the factors that contributed to this decline, analyze marketing strategies using the SWOT analysis approach, and prioritize calibration service marketing strategies using the AHP method. The results of the SWOT analysis revealed four alternative strategies: SO (Strength-Weakness), WO (Weakness-Opportunity), ST (Strength-Threats), and WT (Weakness-Threats). In the IFAS and EFAS matrix, two influential factors were identified: licensing to enter the calibration laboratory location, which involves too much bureaucracy and makes customers hesitant to return (score of 0.45), and damaged calibrator standards that may lead to the suspension of calibration scope (score of 0.70). Based on the hierarchical structure, the AHP method prioritized the WT strategy with a weight of 5.11. This strategy includes conducting periodic checks, forecasting the calibrator to ensure good maintenance, and establishing cooperation with agencies that require calibration services. These prioritized strategies aim to increase sales and improve the marketing of calibration services for shipyard industry companies.

ABSTRACTIntroduction: Periodontitis is a multifactorial inflammatory disease which is generally caused by plaque accumulation. Many studies have shown that Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg) is the main etiological agent that contributes to chronic periodontitis. Scaling and root planing (SRP) is the gold standard for periodontitis treatment. The use of antibiotics as additional agents accompanying the SRP procedure has limitations that can cause resistance to subgingival periodontal pathogens. Peperomia pellucida (L.) Kunth i.e betel leaf is a natural ingredient that contains anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antioxidant properties. This study aimed to analyze the inhibition of Peperomia pellucida (L.) Kunth  extract against Pg bacteria. Methods: The type of study used was an experimental laboratory with a Post-Test Control Group Design research design which was divided into 6 treatment groups using the disk diffusion method with concentrations of Peperomia pellucida (L.) Kunth extract 25, 50, 75 and 100%, sterile aquades as a negative control and Chlorhexidine as a positive control. Data analyses of One Way Anova and Post Hoc Tukey were used Results: Peperomia pellucida (L.) Kunth extract concentrations of 25, 50, 75, and 100% had an  effect on reducing the growth of Porphyromonas gingivalis (p≤0,05), the average inhibition response was 14.40 mm at 25% concentration, 16.58 mm at 50% concentration and 19.30 mm at 75%, 21.88 mm at 100% concentration.Conclusion: Peperomia pellucida (L.) Kunth extract has an antibacterial effect against Porphyromonas gingivalis which has the potential to be used as a periodontitis herb.Keywords: Betel leaf extract Peperomia pellucida (L.) Kunth, periodontitis, Porphyromonas gingivalis.
