Published: January 2021

As redes de suporte social são sistemas que oferecem informação, apoio financeiro e emocional às pessoas em suas diferentes necessidades, atuando como um possível instrumento terapêutico e promotor da saúde. Esse trabalho tem como objetivo identificar, em um seio familiar, os problemas de saúde, os fatores de risco determinantes do processo saúde/doença e a eficácia dos apoios disponíveis na promoção da saúde. A pesquisa foi feita por meio de entrevistas semanais e da aplicação dos instrumentos Genograma, APGAR familiar e Ecomapa com a finalidade de conhecer a história dessa família, representar graficamente a estrutura e o padrão de repetição das relações familiares, medir a satisfação dos membros da família em relação aos elementos fundamentais para a unidade familiar e identificar os apoios disponíveis e sua influência no processo saúde-doença. Foi avaliada uma família composta por oito membros. O pai possuía histórico de etilismo e de tabagismo desde os 12 anos, tendo convívio familiar pouco funcional. O pai começou a frequentar a igreja, tendo melhorando seu relacionamento com a família e abandonado seus vícios e iniciou trabalho na instituição UNIFOR, conseguindo alguns benefícios. A Igreja possibilitou a modificação dos hábitos do Pai, que afetavam a relação familiar e a instituição Unifor, com o auxílio-saúde, permitiu-lhe maior informação sobre sua doença e melhor adesão ao plano terapêutico. Observou-se a influência das redes de suporte social no aumento da qualidade de vida e na promoção da saúde dessa família, interferindo no controle do processo saúde doença.

Sobre o planejamento e a (DES)articulação das políticas públicas no Brasil: a saúde e o meio ambiente

Published: January 2021

Em 2001, a Organização Mundial da Saúde já indicava que a saúde deveria ser prioridade nas políticas das nações já que é o principal fator estrutural para o crescimento econômico e para a redução da pobreza. Muitos fatores interagem de forma a determinar ou influenciar o estado de saúde de um indivíduo ou comunidade havendo, portanto, diversas oportunidades de intervenção positiva das diferentes políticas públicas sobre a saúde sejam elas de meio ambiente, transporte ou econômicas. Prever todos os impactos das diferentes políticas sobre a saúde é muito difícil, entretanto, a inclusão de aspectos relacionados à saúde na elaboração e no planejamento de novas políticas contribuiria de forma efetiva para a melhoria e promoção da saúde em todos os níveis sociais. Neste estudo analisamos com base na literatura científica, documentos oficiais do governo e na mídia impressa duas situações onde a falta de comunicação, aproximação e engajamento dos diferentes setores e pastas podem comprometer diretamente a saúde da população brasileira, além de prejudicar resultados de planos e políticas anteriores. As duas situações selecionadas para este estudo referem - se ao momento da tomada de decisão ou, ao da formulação de uma política pública de saúde específica. A responsabilidade sobre a vida humana deve estar à frente dos interesses econômicos e isto exige que o meio ambiente como determinante da saúde e a saúde por si sejam levados em consideração no s planos de ação estatal, seja no curto, médio e longo prazo. As autoridades governamentais e os grandes empresários devem assumir esse ônus (econômico) em conjunto com a sociedade, redirecionando a política econômica de suas decisões ao bem da vida e à saúde da população. A situação de desconsideração das questões de saúde e meio ambiente podem ser parcialmente explicadas pelo modelo político-econômico brasileiro que favorece processos produtivos mesmo que estes impliquem em danos diretos ou indiretos sobre a saúde e pela falta de preparo técnico de gestores e profissionais da saúde na avaliação dos impactos sobre a saúde das políticas e ações de outros setores e para assumir a necessidade de ações inter setoriais. As ações do governo e suas consequências sobre o bem-estar e saúde da população requerem hoje um novo modelo de governança no qual um olhar mais holístico é necessário sendo o “método da Saúde em todas as Políticas” uma forma já testada em outros países, para orientar e auxiliar líderes e formuladores de políticas a integrar a o aspecto saúde durante o desenvolvimento, implementação e avaliação das políticas públicas e serviços prestados.

Regardless of the deliberation operating at the back of Corona and the availability of the requisite vaccine, the executives need to adapt themselves with the new paradigm and contemplate on the enactment of novel and apposite ways of managing human capital. The global economy is feared to sink such that the world might be coerced to relive the 1930’s global recession; thus each economy is entwined in the cruel jaws of havoc. The study presents various dimensions of the pandemic and after analytic discussion, puts forth some important suggestions for the reader that he resort lies in self-reliance, caution and adaptability. Since the business activity is by and large a function of superior human capital, the HRM interventions need to be the most commensurate ones.

Authors: Ashiq Uzma , Abbas Nargis , Hassan Syed Salman , Mir Usman Riaz
Published: January 2021

Human resource capital is the most strategic part of any organization. Retention of human resources is a critical issue these days. Keeping in view the importance of human capital and its retention, present study aimed to explore the impact of two strong predictors, job satisfaction and organizational commitment, on turnover intentions of employees in banking sector of Pakistan. 250 Survey questionnaires are distributed in Islamic and Conventional banks to elicit responses of professionals among which 207 questionnaires are returned and used for analysis. Findings reveal surprisingly contradictory results from previous studies. Job Satisfaction and organizational commitment are having very negligible impact on turnover intentions. Although employees are not much satisfied as well as committed with the organization but still they have minimal intention towards leaving the organization. Results indicated that turnover intentions of employees in banking sector of Pakistan depend on various other factors. Results are surprising but the paradox can be understood by keeping in view few demographics of respondents as well as the economic condition of the country. The study has significant decision-making implications for banks and called for an urgently inquiry about those influential factors that largely affect the turnover intentions of their employees. In addition, banks also need to apply measures to enhance the job satisfaction and organizational commitment as empirical results indicate very less satisfaction and commitment of employees.

Authors: Chandio Fozia , Ahmed Zia , Sajid Akbar
Published: January 2021

Analysis of the stylistics features of any author has been very interesting technique to explore themes depicted by him/her. This paper examines a short story of Alice Munro titled ‘The Eye’, from stylistic perspective. ‘The Eye’ is the opening tale of the set of four stories, in a style of memoir that is titled as ‘Finale’. This set of four stories appears in her collection of short stories titled “Dear Life” (2012. ) The paper presents the stylistics analysis of the story keeping the stylistic approach in focus suggested by Leech and Short in Style in Style in Fiction (2007). The story is analyzed stylistically in terms of character and characterization, point of view and speech, thought and writing presentation. Stylistic study of any text effectively provides comprehension of the base of the text particularly and its evaluation generally (Peer 2008). In order to carry this out, the method of textual analysis of Qualitative research approach is conducted. The end of the analysis is to have a turnout of a deeper comprehension of the relationship between style and literary aesthetics in ‘The Eye’ by studying the stylistic patterns behind Munro’s narrative, in order to find out her creative approach. Paul Simpson maintains, “Stylistics serves to inquire into the language of the text and on a broader level to investigate creativity in the use of language (2004:3). The endeavor made in the paper explores that Munro has an ambivalent and complicated technique of presentation, both structurally and thematically. Here, the argument is that the stylistic analysis of the story reveals that Munro has high artistic approach towards the short story; she narrates the fiction with such an ambiguous approach that it welcomes more than one interpretations of the story.

Authors: Farooq Fatima , Faheem Muhammad , Usman Muhammad Zahid
Published: January 2021

The study examines the impact of globalization and institutional quality on environmental degradation in Pakistan. The study employs symmetric and asymmetric Autoregressive Distributed Lag Model (ARDL) at a time to check the linear and nonlinear effect of globalization on the environment over 1985 to 2017. The long-run findings of linear ARDL shows globalization affect positively to the environment and all other control variables FDI, GDP are significant with a positive sign while institutional quality and the interaction term of globalization and institutional quality is significant with a negative sign. The study also finds the marginal effect of interaction term and found that globalization has a different effect on the environment with different level of institutional quality.   The linear ARDL model is not suitable to check the asymmetric behaviour of globalization on the environment. For this, the study applied a nonlinear ARDL estimation method. The findings of the nonlinear ARDL model showed the asymmetric behaviour of globalization on the environment. This study provides a new direction by proving the asymmetric relationship of globalization on environment quality that is more beneficial for policymakers and government officials.

Authors:   Department of Banking and Finance, Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Nigeria, Chinedu Ikwuagwu, Henry
Published: January 2021

This research study empirically assessed the corona virus information spread and banks’ stock returns in Nigeria. The study adopted event study approach which suites the research because of its descriptive nature. The daily data of closing share prices of the selected banks listed in Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) was collected from NSE website for a period of 146 days. Using 124 days estimation window, the result shows that the Intercept (C) and Market Returns (MKTR) has a coefficient of -0.00125 and -0.00848 respectively. Analyzing the stock of commercial banks in the Nigerian stock exchange during the first 100 days of COVID-19 contagious infectious disease outbreak in Nigeria, we find that the pandemic disease interacts positively with stock returns which is against the expectation. Specifically, banking firms’ abnormal returns on the corona virus information spread at 100th day are positive but insignificant. We therefore conclude that COVID-19 information into the Nigerian banking sector triggers positive investment in the sector with desirable abnormal returns. We therefore call the relevant authorities to adequately consider policy responses implemented in the sector, and to further analyze information about the COVID-19.

Combination therapy is considered as a new and effective therapeutic strategy for control of hyperglycemia. The present study aimed to determine the hypoglycemic effect of Afghan Hibiscus sabdariffa L. and Carum Carvi L. hydro-alcoholic extracts either alone or in combination on diabetic rats. Streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats were administered intraperitoneally with hydro-alcoholic extracts of H. sabdariffa (75, 150 and 300 mg/kg), C. carvi (150, 300 and 500 mg/kg) and their combinations for 21 days. The Fasting blood glucose and body weight of rats were determined on 0, 7, 14 and 21st days. The results showed a significant (P<0.0001) hypoglycemic effect of H. sabdariffa extract (75, 150 and 300 mg/kg) on 7, 14 and 21th days, C. carvi extract (500 mg/kg), and their effective doses combination (75:25), especially on 7th day. Only 75 mg/kg of H. sabdariffa had positive effect on body weight loss of diabetic rats (P<0.05). One can conclude that Afghan H. sabdariffa and C. carvi hydro-alcoholic extracts and their combination have a hypoglycemic effect. However, their combinations do not have any synergic effects, so the hypoglycemic effect of H. sabdariffa was much greater and even normalized the blood glucose level.

This increases time taken for the onset of pain after haemorrhoidectomy and also helps in easy evacuation of stools in post operative period.
