THE ROLE OF ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES
Authors: DIAC (HUTU) DANIELA , CUMPAT MARINELA CARMEN , CUMPAT MARIA ANA
Published: February 2025

Organizational culture is a complex and important concept in the management of all
organizations, with a role in highlighting the values, norms, behaviours, and way of
thinking, as well as the interaction between the members of the organization and the
fulfilment of the established objectives. The continuous evolution of society determines
the progress of each individual organization, both economically and socially.
Organizational culture is increasingly present in all economic, social, and cultural
branches, improving the way of working, and contributing to the increase of
expectations regarding social requirements, the content of work, and the quality of the
workplace. In the development of human resources within an organization,
organizational culture has an important role, as it can support this aspect, leading to
good organization and increasing the efficiency of the organization; the more perfected
the human resources will be, the more their efficiency will increase and, thus, the good
functioning of the organization in general. This article aims to highlight, through the
literature review, the importance of organizational culture within an organization for
human resources and, thus, for the organization.
QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MATHEMATICAL THINKING AND COMPUTATIONAL THINKING FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF SOFTWARE ENGINEERING LECTURERS AND STUDENTS
Authors: KRAMER ELENA
Published: February 2025

In education, computational thinking—which is characterized as a style of thinking
applicable to various professions needing problem-solving abilities—has grown in
popularity. Future specialists must be prepared for the sophisticated thinking skills
required to solve social and business challenges, necessitating a combination of
mathematical thinking and computational thinking. Since the field of computer science
was derived from mathematics, the connection between these two fields is obvious.
Moreover, there is a correlation between ability in specific mathematical and
computational fields; the question is which precise fields are correlated?
To derive a more precise hypothesis about the relationship among abilities in specific
mathematical and computational fields, we adopted a novel approach – examining the
relationship among local metalanguages of various fields in mathematics and computer
science. The hypothesis of this research posits that if any mathematical and
computational fields have similar metalanguages, then a correlation exists between
ability in these fields. This information can aid in formulating content that is less
comprehensible to students into a more accessible format.
In the first research stage, data mining techniques were employed. As a result, we
identified clusters of similar fields in mathematics and computer science, based on
similarity between metalanguages. Upon formulating the hypothesis, we verify it using
both quantitative and qualitative research involving students’ participation. This paper
presents the results of qualitative content analysis of interviews with software
engineering students and lecturers.
SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN SMART CITIES: AN ETHICAL IMPERATIVE
Authors: POPESCUL DANIELA , RADU LAURA-DIANA
Published: February 2025

Currently, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is promisingly complementing the technological
landscape associated with smart cities, consisting of contextual combinations of
solutions based on the Internet of Things (IoT), mobile devices, mobile communications
via satellites or short-range, data platforms, Virtual and Augmented Reality, etc. The
benefits associated with the use of AI relate to improving services and optimizing
resource utilization, with the stated aim of ensuring a better life for citizens in urban
areas. The top-down approach in the design and implementation of technological
solutions associated with smart cities remains dominant, as a consequence of the power
and impact of major stakeholders (technology producers and policymakers), and the
social sustainability of technological initiatives is not sufficiently explored. Against this
background, this paper aims to analyze the ethical challenges associated with the use of
AI in smart cities development projects. The “black-box” functioning of AI tools and the
related privacy concerns will be discussed, with a focus on identifying sound solutions
for an ethical use of AI in smart cities. Our results show that the eXplainable AI (XAI)
approach enhances transparency, trust, control, efficiency, fairness, ethical compliance,
accountability, bias mitigation, privacy, and security of AI in smart cities, and a
responsible AI implementation implies diverse privacy techniques like encryption,
differential privacy, anonymization, edge computing, multi-party computation, federated
learning, machine learning, and blockchain.

Recent developments in international economics have certainly increased the attention
of European citizens to the phenomenon of financial stability. However, the present
research aims to analyse the impact of different political and economic factors on the
financial stability of European citizens in a pre-pandemic era. In order to determine
whether or not such an impact exists, we have used panel data analysis covering 26 of
the 27 EU countries over a 10-year period, between 2010 and 2019. The statistical
research has indeed shown us the link between different variables, both economic and
political, with the financial stability of European citizens, which can be taken into
account by political decision-makers.

Authors: L. EDEM UDUAK , N. OSUAGWU ANIEFIOK , E. EDU. et. al., NDEM
Published: February 2025

The African yam bean (Sphenostylis stenocarpa (L.)) is an underutilized crop with significant agricultural and nutritional potential. However, limited genetic improvement efforts pose a risk of extinction, underscoring the urgent need for breeding programs. This study investigated the genetic variation of 18 S. stenocarpa accessions from the Genetic Resources Centre at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), Ibadan, Nigeria, using the matK gene marker. Genomic DNA was extracted and amplified through polymerase chain reaction (PCR), with subsequent sequencing and analysis conducted using ChromasPro, MEGA 6.0.6, DnaSP version 5.1, and CodonCode Aligner. Phylogenetic analysis grouped the accessions into two major clusters, with sub-clusterings reflecting genetic variation. Linear genetic distances ranged from 0.08 to 2.13, with the shortest distance observed between TSs-119 (CAL-12) and TSs-38 (CAL-13), and the largest distance was between TSs-69 (CAL-2) and TSs-439 (CAL-17). DNA polymorphism analysis revealed two polymorphic sites among 54 nucleotide sites, resulting in high haplotype diversity (1.000) and moderate nucleotide diversity (0.396). SNP analysis identified 107 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), of which 81.31% were nonsynonymous mutations and 18.69% were synonymous. Transversion mutations (74.77%) were more prevalent than transitions (31.82%), indicating significant sequence variability among the accessions. These findings demonstrate substantial genetic differentiation within S. stenocarpa accessions and highlight the potential of the matK gene as a robust marker for genetic diversity studies. The results provide essential insights for future breeding efforts, genetic improvement, and conservation of this underutilized crop.

Published: February 2025

Plagiarism awareness among students is essential for fostering academic integrity and maintaining educational standards. With the increasing availability of digital resources, students now have greater access to information, which has, in turn, made it easier to misuse or copy others’ work without proper attribution. This study specifically investigates the level of plagiarism awareness among Diploma students and examines their understanding of academic integrity and ethical scholarship. Plagiarism has become a significant concern for educational institutions, as easy access to online information has heightened the risk of academic dishonesty. This research aims to assess students’ knowledge of plagiarism, their attitudes, and the effectiveness of institutional policies and resources in promoting academic honesty. Using the Nominal Group Technique (NGT) as a research methodology, the study collects data on students’ awareness of plagiarism, understanding of citation practices, and perception of the consequences associated with academic misconduct. NGT allows for structured data collection through collaborative group discussions, which helps to capture diverse perspectives on plagiarism and academic ethics among students. Findings from this study reveal varied levels of awareness while some students exhibit a limited understanding of citation standards, others show an improvement in their comprehension of plagiarism’s ethical implications. These results highlight the need for enhanced educational interventions, including more effective training and resources that emphasize the importance of originality and respect for intellectual property. Ultimately, the study suggests that fostering a culture of integrity within academic institutions can significantly reduce instances of plagiarism and better equip students to produce original work, upholding the values of ethical scholarship.

Published: February 2025

Learning English as a Second Language (ESL) often poses challenges such as limited learner motivation, insufficient practice opportunities, and heightened anxiety during language acquisition. Educators have sought innovative approaches to address these issues, with gamification emerging as a promising solution. This study explores the integration of gamification and game-based elements in enhancing proficiency in ESL. Gamification, defined as applying game design principles in non-game contexts, fosters motivation, engagement, and skill acquisition among ESL learners. By examining game-based tools like Minecraft Edu and Roblox, the study highlights their potential to build vocabulary, improve grammar, and strengthen core language skills, including listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Gamified platforms such as Quizizz and Kahoot! further enhance grammar and vocabulary acquisition through instant feedback and incremental challenges. The study also underscores the value of feedback mechanisms, rewards, and role-playing in fostering interactive and immersive learning environments. Through a thematic analysis, the study reveals that gamification strategies effectively address challenges such as low motivation, limited practice opportunities, and anxiety in language learning. The findings emphasize the importance of balancing educational objectives with engaging game mechanics to optimize learning outcomes in ESL education.

“Minha condição no mundo”: identidade feminina e afrodescendente na obra de Rosana Paulino
Authors: Carvalho Karina , Aroha Arthur
Published: February 2025

Este artigo 3 foi desenvolvido no âmbito de uma disciplina da graduação da Licenciatura em Artes Visuais da Faculdade Unina com foco nas manifestações artísticas afrodescendentes. Ele propõe uma breve investigação do processo artístico de Rosana Paulino, artista contemporânea brasileira que se estabeleceu nas últimas décadas como uma importante figura da história da arte nacional. A partir da análise de obras de séries de Paulino, como Assentamento (iniciada em 2012), Bastidores (iniciada em 1997) e Parede da memória (iniciada em 1994), e da leitura de declarações da própria artista sobre seu processo de pesquisa em poéticas visuais, procuramos compreender como se deu a construção dessas obras, tanto técnica quanto teoricamente. Como na maioria das produções artísticas contemporâneas, o processo é de suma importância na obra de Paulino, sendo marcado por uma reflexão que se inicia de forma introspectiva e se expande para o coletivo. Sua carreira artística e pesquisa em poéticas visuais parece ter se iniciado como uma reflexão sobre sua própria “condição no mundo” enquanto mulher afrodescendente. A partir daí, se constituiriam tecituras sociopolíticas e históricas que conectariam a artista enquanto indivíduo a uma coletividade que acaba sendo representada em suas obras – através de suas lutas, dores, conquistas e resistências. Tecituras que nos interessam enquanto processo de pesquisa em poéticas visuais e como materialização da conquista de espaços formais de arte por manifestações afrodescendentes.

MÁ-FÉ NA PEDAGOGIA TRADICIONAL E AUTENTICIDADE NA PEDAGOGIA
HISTÓRICO-CRÍTICA: UMA INVESTIGAÇÃO SARTREANA
Authors: Delgado de Carvalho Ricardo , Rodrigues Barbosa Felipe
Published: February 2025

Colar na prova, copiar trabalho da internet ou do colega e certa desmotivação na sala
de aula são alguns problemas que muitos professores vivenciam. Tais estorvos talvez
sejam elucidados pela má-fé sartreana. Buscar a causa da má-fé em muitos
estudantes das escolas pode contribuir com a reversão desses problemas,
possibilitando a autenticidade de Sartre. Dessa forma, esse artigo evidencia que
grande parte da responsabilidade pela má-fé é da pedagogia tradicional que subjaz à
prática de muitos professores, com seus princípios de adaptação, ‘conforto’,
heteronomia e, comumente, conteúdo acrítico e distante da realidade do estudante.
Consequentemente, estimula-se o individualismo, a dissimulação e a alienação. Uma
solução pode ser encontrada na pedagogia histórico-crítica, que enfatiza a construção
autônoma, da angústia diante dos temas histórico-sociais, o desenvolvimento crítico
dos estudantes e o engajamento responsável, especialmente na área social e política.
Dessa forma, a pedagogia histórico-crítica busca socializar o acervo cultural de modo
crítico, sobretudo o saber científico, construindo competências e habilidades cognitivas e racionais condizentes com as lutas sociais por justiça social, que pode
ser entendida como autenticidade na teoria sartreana.
COSP-RTTOV-1.0: Flexible radiation diagnostics to enable new science applications in model evaluation, climate change detection, and satellite mission design

Published: February 2025

Abstract. Infrared spectral radiation fields observed by satellites make up an information-rich, multi-decade record with continuous coverage of the entire planet. As direct observations, spectral radiation fields are also largely free from uncertainties that accumulate during geophysical retrieval and data assimilation processes. Comparing these direct observations with earth system models (ESMs), however, is hindered by definitional differences between the radiation fields satellites observe and those generated by models. Here, we present a flexible, computationally efficient tool called COSP-RTTOV for simulating satellite-like radiation fields within ESMs. Outputs from COSP-RTTOV are consistent with instrument spectral response functions and orbit sampling, as well as the physics of the host model. After validating COSP-RTTOV's performance, we demonstrate new constraints on model performance enabled by COSP-RTTOV. We show additional applications in climate change detection using the NASA AIRS instrument, and observing system simulation experiments using the NASA PREFIRE mission. In summary, COSP-RTTOV is a convenient tool for directly comparing satellite radiation observations with ESMs. It enables a wide range of scientific applications, especially when users desire to avoid the assumptions and uncertainties inherent in satellite-based retrievals of geophysical variables or in atmospheric reanalysis.
Characterizing precipitation and soil moisture drydowns in Finland using SMAP satellite data
Authors: Kouki Kerttu , Colliander Andreas
Published: February 2025

Abstract. Precipitation (P) and soil moisture (SM) are critical components of the global water, energy, and biogeochemical cycles, yet their patterns and interrelations in the Arctic are poorly understood. Due to the sparse in situ measurement network, satellites are the only way to observe P and SM in high-latitude regions. This study uses NASA’s SMAP satellite to analyze the relationship between SM and P, assess the feasibility of estimating P from SM, and examine SM drydown patterns in Finland from April to September over 2018–2019. The analysis reveals a notable spatial and temporal variability in SM, with a weaker correlation between P and SM in spring due to snowmelt and a stronger relationship in summer and fall. Water bodies complicate the SM retrieval causing the SM retrievals to saturate. Using the SM2RAIN algorithm, we estimated P from SM data. The algorithm shows promising results, detecting the area of rainfall accurately in most cases but estimating the intensity of the rainfall is more challenging, particularly for light and very heavy rain. We analyzed SM drydown patterns by fitting an exponential model to each SM drydown period, from which we estimated the exponential decay time scale (τ) and the lower bound of SM (SMmin). τ does not show much spatial or temporal variability. The distribution of τ is positively skewed, with a mode of 1.6 days and a median of 4.0 days, consistent with other studies. The distribution of SMmin is also positively skewed, with a mode of 0.14 m3 m-3 and a median of 0.17 m3 m-3. SMmin exhibits another lower peak at 0.02 m3 m-3, the lower limit of SMAP SM retrievals, possibly causing an artifact in the results. SMmin shows spatial variability, with the lower bound being slightly higher near water bodies but also showing a more prominent peak at 0.02 m3 m-3. Grid cells with dense vegetation and low vegetation agree better with each other, indicating that water bodies particularly affect and complicate SM retrieval. The promising results suggest that the method could be applied across the entire Arctic region.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate how beverages affected the self-adhesive hybrid pediatric cement's microhardness.
Materials and Methods: Specimens measuring 5 mm in diameter and 2 mm in thickness were fabricated from Surefil one self-adhesive hybrid GIC and subjected to exposure by acidic beverages. The study involved three groups (artificial saliva as control, Cola, Sparkling water with lemon). Samples for Vickers hardness were immersed for 15 minutes daily for 28 days. Then, samples were tested using a Vickers microhardness tester. Statistical analysis involved the use of one-way Anova and post hoc Tucky test at the level of significance of 0.05.
Results: When Surefil One samples were submerged in simulated saliva, their Vickers microhardness significantly decreased. Samples submerged in Cola showed the largest decline, indicating a negative impact on material integrity.
Conclusions: Beverages affected the self-adhesive hybrid pediatric cement's microhardness.
Musanzi, Muškanzi und Suranzi in Karkamiš
Authors: Schürr Diether
Published: February 2025

The fame of Yariris, a Karkamiš statesman of around 800 BC, did not only reach Egypt and Babylon but also three, probably neighbouring peoples in the north. The Musanzi are here linked with the land Muša between the Euphrates and Malatya, mentioned once in an Urartian inscription, and the Muškanzi with the land Muška, mentioned in two Late Luwian inscriptions of great king Hartapus: probably not Phrygia or another enemy country, but his own land, i.e., the later Lycaonia. The Suranzi are certainly the people of the land Sura, an enemy of Karkamiš, defeated around 1000 BC: probably, the land of the Syr(i)oi or Leukosyrioi in Greek tradition, i.e., Cappadocia.
Geossistema, território e paisagem (GTP) e a Geografia Física brasileira: panorama analítico e contribuições para o debate socioambiental
Authors: Neves Carlos Eduardo das , Modesto dos Passos Messias , Cunha Lúcio
Published: February 2025

O sistema tripolar GTP é uma proposição teórico-metodológica que busca articular os conceitos de geossistema, território e paisagem para subsidiar pesquisas socioambientais. Contudo, o modo como os geógrafos brasileiros têm utilizado o GTP, com seus sucessos e desafios, ainda não é plenamente compreendido. Nesse viés, o presente estudo almeja apreender a relevância dos pressupostos do sistema tripolar para o debate socioambiental ligado ao ordenamento do território. Pretende-se ainda identificar o panorama de uso do GTP em dissertações e teses publicadas em 18 Programas de Pós-Graduação em Geografia no Brasil, entre 2007 e 2015. Para isso, atentou-se a um conjunto de variáveis bibliométricas que permitem reconhecer as trajetórias e tendências da temática. Observa-se que o sistema GTP tem permitido que a Geografia Física desenvolva estudos socioambientais que transitam entre perspectivas naturalistas, socioeconômicos e socioculturais voltadas ao ordenamento do território; todavia, as dissertações e teses apresentam dificuldades para ressignificar as proposições originais pensadas pelo francês Georges Bertrand, dificultando a articulação entre os conceitos do sistema e os produtos baseados na Geografia/realidade nacional.

Nigella sativa seed extract has been shown to have a significant effect on endometrial thickness and vaginal cytology in ovariectomized animal models, suggesting potential benefits for managing menopausal symptoms. However, to the best of the author’s knowledge, no human studies have been done to support these conclusions. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of N. sativa seed extract on estradiol, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and the vaginal maturity index (VMI) in postmenopausal women. A single-blinded, randomized placebo-controlled experiment was carried out at Haji Adam Malik Hospital, Medan, Indonesia, with 50 eligible postmenopausal women patients randomized into three groups. Group 1 received a placebo, while groups 2 and 3 were given N. sativa seed extract at 910 mg/day and 1,365 mg/day, respectively. All participants were blinded to the treatment they received. The study used Shad Nigella Plus, an Indonesian herbal medicine containing 455 mg of N. sativa seed extract per capsule. Before the treatments, estradiol levels, FSH levels, and VMI were measured at baseline and remeasured after eight weeks of treatment. Two participants in the intervention group withdrew due to nausea, a reported side effect of N. sativa seed extract consumption. Both treatment groups showed significant increases in estradiol levels (p=0.01 and p=0.001) and VMI (p=0.004 and p=0.001) after eight weeks of daily N. sativa seed extract administration compared to the placebo group. However, no significant differences were found between the two doses in estradiol levels and VMI (p=0.12 and p=0.673, respectively). Moreover, FSH levels showed no significant difference throughout both interventions (p=0.53 and p=0.96, respectively). In conclusion, twice-daily N. sativa seed extract at 910 mg/day or 1,365 mg/day for eight weeks significantly increased estradiol levels and VMI in menopausal women but had no significant effect on FSH levels. These findings support the potential role of N. sativa seed extract as a natural treatment for menopausal symptoms.
Cardiomyopathy as the forgotten symptom of systemic lupus erythematosus in children: A case report

Published: February 2025

Cardiomyopathy is a rare clinical manifestation in pediatric systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), with only a single case reported in the literature. Its identification in pediatric SLE is challenging due to its typically subclinical presentation and low incidence, which frequently result in delayed diagnosis and management. The aim of this study was to present a unique case of dilated cardiomyopathy, a rare cardiac complication of SLE, which can be life-threatening if not promptly recognized and treated. An 11-year-old boy was admitted to the emergency department of Murni Teguh Memorial Hospital, diagnosed with SLE based on the 2019 European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology (EULAR) criteria, with a total score of 30 and a Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI) score of 16, indicating high disease activity. Clinical findings included oral ulcers, a non-pruritic hyperpigmented discoid macule, anemia, lymphopenia, positive both the direct and indirect Coombs tests, elevated D-dimer level, and pulmonary congestion. Initial treatment stabilized the patient condition, allowing transfer to the general ward by day five. Five days after admission, the patient developed palpitations and tachycardia, with a heart rate of 140 beats per minute. Electrocardiography showed sinus tachycardia, while echocardiography revealed all cardiac chambers dilation, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 43%, moderate mitral regurgitation, and mild pulmonary regurgitation, subsequently diagnosed as dilated cardiomyopathy. Heart failure therapy was initiated with intravenous furosemide, oral ramipril, and digoxin. Palpitations and tachycardia resolved within two days. Following two weeks of treatment, the patient was discharged with stable vital signs. A one-month follow-up thoracic echocardiography demonstrated improved cardiomyopathy, with an LVEF of 53%. Cardiomyopathy in pediatric SLE is rare but can cause significant morbidity and mortality if undiagnosed. Its nonspecific presentation and immune-mediated pathogenesis make early detection challenging. Due to its rarity, it may be overlooked, highlighting the importance of comprehensive cardiac evaluation, including echocardiography, in children with suspected cardiac involvement.

Published: February 2025

BACKGROUND: Osteoarthritis in the knee is a prevalent joint disease in the elderly, affecting around 80% of those over 55. It leads to reduced function, making walking and stair-climbing challenging, potentially impacting lower body abilities. Balance is crucial for daily tasks and operations.
OBJECTIVE: The study is to determine the efficacy of kinesthesia and perturbation training in Kinesiophobia among OA knee patients.
MATERIALS AND METHODOLOGY: Thirty subjects with knee osteoarthritis will be assigned to control (group B) and experimental (group A) based on specific criteria. Group A receives perturbation training alongside conventional treatment, while Group B is treated with traditional methods like ultrasound. Each group undergoes 10 treatment sessions. Outcome measures include Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia(TSK).
RESULTS: Following training, both groups experienced a statistically significant decrease in the numerical pain rating scale (p<0.001). Following training, both groups' scores on the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia decreased, and this difference was statistically significant(p<0.001). Nonetheless, when comparing the two groups, the experimental group's decrease in TSK and NPRS scores was greater, and this difference was statistically significant (p<0.001).
CONCLUSION: The study found that OA knee patients in Experimental group A demonstrated reduced pain and improvement in perturbation training both statistically and clinically.

Authors: . Triveni , Rani T. Jeya
Published: February 2025

Background: The global figures indicate that acute lower respiratory infection (ALRI) is the single largest infectious cause of death among children. In India, pneumonia itself causes 17% of all deaths in children >5 years. This leads to the initiation of multiple health measures and guidelines for infants and younger children. However, being such a vast and diverse country, there remain so many gaps in the treatment, vaccination, empirical use of available antimicrobials.
Objectives: The study aim to assess the effectiveness of planned teaching programme on knowledge regarding respiratory tract Infection among the mother of under-five years children in selected rural area, Udupi district
Materials and Methods: The single arm pre-post test study carried out among Fifty mothers of under-five children in Manipura, Udupi. A structured knowledge questionnaire was prepared to assess the knowledge of mothers of under-five children regarding RTI and later the PTP was given. The reliability of the tool was tested and validity was ensured in consultation with guides and experts in the field of Nursing and Medicine.
Results: The mean post-test knowledge score 27.8, is higher than the mean pre-test knowledge score of 13.2. The computed value 23.72 (p <0.05) showed that there is a highly significant difference between the pretest and post-test mean knowledge scores of 14.6.
Conclusion: This study concludes that the planned teaching programme is effective in increasing the knowledge scores of mothers of under-five children on respiratory tract infection. The demographic variables of parents are not significantly associated with the knowledge scores.
