Authors: Yavari Kateb Meysam , Arab Ameri Elahe , Rostami Reza , Gharayagh Zandi Hassan , Moghadas Tabrizi Yosef
Published: March 2024

Background: Mindfulness and tDCS have been shown to have psychological and physiological effects. However, the effects of using both simultaneously have not yet been fully determined. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the effect of a tDCS-mindfulness program on selective attention in skilled badminton players. Methods: Thirty-six healthy skilled male badminton players were selected based on the study criteria and divided into three groups: A-tDCS-mindfulness, sham-tDCS-mindfulness, and control (N=12). The research variables were measured using pre- and post-tests. The Shapiro-Wilk test indicated that the data were normal; therefore, the t-test and one-way ANOVA were used to test the research hypotheses. Results: The results showed that A significant difference was observed between the pre- and post-test scores for self-control and emotion regulation in both the A-tDCS and sham-tDCS mindfulness groups. In the between-groups comparison effect, it was also found that there was a significant difference in self-control and emotion regulation, and post-hoc analysis showed that the A-tDCS-mindfulness, sham-tDCS-mindfulness, and control groups had the best SC and ER, respectively. Conclusions: This study supports the effectiveness of tDCS-mindfulness on self-control and emotion regulation in badminton players. The results also indicate that the simultaneous use of tDCS and mindfulness was more effective than mindfulness alone.

Published: March 2024

Objective: While peak height velocity age (PHVA) forecasting models exist for Westerners, there are no equations that target the Japanese. This study aimed to analyze the suitability of Canadian equations model using data from a large-scale study of Japanese participants to verify their applicability (study 1) and to create model equations that are optimal for Japanese participants by multiple regression analysis using the same data (study 2). Methods and Materials: In Study 1, 3,211 and 2,611 data points from boys and girls, respectively, were used to analyze the fit of Asian data to the sex-specific regression equations developed by Mirwald et al. (2002) and Moore et al. (2015). The participants were used in Study 2 to create an optimal maturity prediction model for the Japanese population, and the applicability of the model was verified. In addition, to verify the external validity of the Maturity prediction model, the data were randomly divided for analysis and for validation prior to the creation of the model equation. Results: The results of Study 1 revealed that previous prediction models were underestimated PHVA for Japanese individuals of both males and females at younger ages and overestimated PHVA at older ages. Thus, it is suggested that the Moore model might not be suitable for the Japanese population. However, by using Study 2, we confirmed that our PHVA prediction model was suitable. Conclusions: The development of a predictive model suitable for the Japanese population through this study may assist in the establishment of optimal training prescriptions and environments during the growth and development period.

Published: March 2024

Introduction. The assessment of the reliability and cost of complex systems, such as Complex Bridge Systems (CBS) and Life Support Systems in Space Capsules (LSSSC), is fascinating. To achieve the ideal system design through diverse constraints and increase overall system reliability, researchers have extensively explored system reliability and cost optimization problems. Hence, the significant advancement in metaheuristic methods is the primary source of further system reliability and cost optimization process refinement.
Aim and tasks. This research attempts to enhance the reliability and cost of complex systems named CBC and LSSSC has been presented.  
Results. The structure is based on few recent metaheuristic techniques, such as Moth Flame Optimization (MFO), Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA), Gazelle Optimization Algorithm (GOA), Dragonfly Algorithm (DA), and Coati Optimization Algorithm (COA). Comparing the acquired findings to those found in other proposed techniques demonstrates the usefulness of a methodology based on COA. The proposed COA algorithm exhibits enhanced efficiency by offering superior solutions to reliability and cost-optimization problems. In addition, a non-parametric Friedman ranking was performed for validation. The results of this research are based on improving the reliability of the parameters and decreasing complex systems’ costs used by the five metaheuristic methods. Observing the convergence graph, Friedman ranking, statistical results test, and tables determined that COA is the most effective algorithm for a complex system’s cost and reliability parameters compared to other existing approaches, and also provided a faster solution.
Conclusions. This study proposes unique ways to reduce costs while increasing parameter reliability in complex systems. After analysing the comparative solution, the authors found that when comparing these approaches (GOA, DA, MFO, WOA, and COA), the COA provided the best minimum solution for the cost and reliability of complex systems. Hence, the suggested COA procedure was more successful than that described in this study.
A Review of Circularity Indicators and Psychological Factors: a Comprehensive Analysis of Circularity Practices in Organizations
Authors: Birgovan Andreea Loredana , Lakatos Elena Simina , Nita Viorel , Sim Anamaria
Published: March 2024

Introduction. In a booming global economy of finite resources, pandemics, armed conflict and irresponsible over-consumption, attention to the nature of finite resources becomes imperative. The transition to a circular economic model lies at the intersection of economic development and environmental protection needs, significantly impacting today's society and future generations. Research and understanding of the circular economy are catalysts for accelerating processes to change the current unsustainable paradigm. This study reviews the literature and identifies how circularity indicators are addressed at the organisational level.
Aim and tasks. The study aims to review and synthesise the literature on micro-level circular indicators, psychological factors, and relevant theories in the context of organisational performance, as well as identify knowledge gaps and ways the two elements can be integrated into the circularity assessment.
Results. The study shows no universally accepted method to measure the circular economy at the organisational level. Most indicators focus only on the environment, ignoring the social dimension, while many indicators in the literature are not standardized and cannot be compared. It has also been identified that the social component needs to be better represented, with all the attention focused on the environment. Within the social component, organisational psychology (organisational culture, satisfaction, attitudes, leadership, motivation, and employee well-being) is almost not represented in the studies and indicators, as they are highly relevant to the social component.
Conclusions. This systematic review provides an overview of existing indicators and measurement tools at the organisational level. Following the analysis and results presented above, it can be said that although underexplored, the social dimension of the circular economy has begun to attract attention in the literature. The present research highlights the relevance of the social aspect in the circular economy and suggests that it has been undervalued in research to date. Irrespective of the specific areas of interest of different studies, there is a growing need for a more comprehensive understanding of the social impact of the circular economy, which would include all aspects of social life, from jobs and education to civic engagement and behaviour change.

Authors: Gamova Iryna , Shportiuk Nataliia , Duginets Ganna , Busarieva Tatiana
Published: March 2024

Introduction. The share of e-trading in the total volume of the Ukrainian retail sales market tends to increase. Since innovative trade approaches open new perspectives and provide the possibility of doing business in conditions of significant challenges, the role of e-commerce in restoring the country's economy becomes more significant. The social role of e-commerce as a source of vital goods for a population is also growing. Therefore, the study of the e-commerce market and analysis of the impact of war on its development have become important tasks.
Aim and tasks. The purpose of this study is to examine the state of the e-commerce market using statistical data, analyze the impact of the war on the development of e-commerce, identify the main market trends, and forecast the main indicators of e-commerce. This determines the following tasks: establishing the peculiarities of the e-commerce market in Ukraine, establishing obstacles to the development of e-commerce, identifying opportunities that e-trading opens up for Ukrainian entrepreneurs, and determining the conditions to be taken into account in the transition of retail trade to e-trading under the challenges of war..
Results. The negative impact of significant market changes in the 2022-2023 was compensated by the growth in active e-commerce users. A change in the growth rate of users by 40% in 2022 was confirmed. This indicates that hostilities changed the range of e-commerce products and that the market share of basic necessities exceeded 50%. The highest annual revenue per user for food products will be 89.4% ahead of the product group closest to this indicator. According to the indicator “Average income from e-commerce per client”, it is predicted to reach 2019 only in 2026. Sales changes for the main product groups in 2024 have been established. According to the “Highest annual revenue per user” indicator, food products will exceed the value for 2023 by 25% and personal care products by 9.4%.
Conclusions. Innovative technologies (e-marketplace, analysis of buyer profiles, omnichannel communication with consumers, m-trading, etc.) that contribute to the development of e-commerce and the interaction of these technologies and market needs are identified. The peculiarities of the Ukrainian e-commerce market during the war were established. Obstacles to the development of e-commerce and the opportunities that e-trading opens for Ukrainian entrepreneurs have been identified. The conditions that must be considered during the transition from retail trade to e-trading due to the challenges of war, which is especially important for small and medium-sized enterprises, are determined.
Assessing Therapy and Rehabilitation Comprehension of Chemical Labelling and Forming Chemical Safety Competence Specialists
Authors: Ishchenko Аlla , Stuchynska Nataliia , Yanitska Lesya
Published: March 2024

Introduction. Considering the higher risk of man-made chemical disasters due to military operations, the demand for the training of qualified therapists and rehabilitators is increasing. Future healthcare professionals should be competent in chemical safety and fully possess information on the designation and classification of hazardous substances and the labelling of chemical substances. Therefore, the relevance of their competent risk assessment is growing regarding the use of dangerous chemical substances of an inorganic and organic nature and their anthropogenic influence.
Aim and tasks. The paper aims to determine the formation of chemical safety competence among future specialists in therapy and rehabilitation.
The results. A questionnaire established that future rehabilitators should acquire chemical safety competence to decipher hazard markings and possess information about the rules for working with chemicals based on a detailed study of the marking and labelling of chemical substances and rules for their use and disposal. Only 47.1% of the respondents (according to their assessment) knew the rules for handling chemicals, and 41.2% deciphered a potential danger to human health (carcinogenic effect). However, 88.2% of the higher education students interviewed wanted to develop chemical safety competence using unique chemical safety cards.
Conclusions. The correct interpretation of the marking constituent elements allows for avoiding accidents and injuries while handling chemicals, and in the moment of a threat to human health or damage, allows the application of the given algorithm for providing first aid. Therefore, understanding the main components of chemical safety by future rehabilitators is possible through applying relevant knowledge, skills and abilities in further professional activities. However, future therapists and rehabilitators cannot correctly decipher the designation of the carcinogenic danger and do not have complete information about the rules for working with chemical substances. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct additional activities for future therapists and rehabilitators for their better understanding of the rules for handling chemicals and deciphering the dangers indicated on the labels of chemical products.

Authors: Shovkun-Zablotska Lyudmila , Pysarenko Volodymyr , Sierova Liudmila , Tegipko Sergiy
Published: March 2024

Introduction. Full-scale military actions led to the need for radical changes in the management of agricultural enterprises. Effective management of Ukrainian agribusiness under conditions of military aggression can contribute to the stability of revenues to the country's budget and strengthen national security, particularly in providing the population with food and jobs in depressed rural regions. The state of war in Ukraine determines the peculiarities of the activities of agricultural enterprises and, accordingly, forms the peculiarities of agricultural management, which requires scientific research.
Aim and tasks. The study aims to develop directions and tools for managing agricultural enterprises in the conditions of war in Ukraine. The task of the study was to develop a mathematical model of operational change in the goal of an agro-enterprise, establish conditions for changing agribusiness goals, determine wartime requirements for agribusiness management, and assess the impact of the war on the components of the resource potential of agricultural enterprises.
Results. A mathematical model of the operative change in the purpose of an agro-enterprise under the conditions of acquisition of integral risks, including the risk of military operations, of a degree greater than 50%, has been developed. The study of the components of the resource potential established the following: the growth of the dynamism of the land market, the acceleration of the redistribution of land ownership - the alienated area of land in 2023 compared to 2022 has almost doubled; the share of individual entrepreneurs in the total number increased by 19.8% in 2022; a decrease in the level of provision of labour resources, which has long-term and short-term dimensions related to military operations, reducing the volume of imports of agricultural machinery by approximately 30–35%. The implementation of effective management requires a comprehensive approach to the formation of systemic prerequisites for agricultural activity and the improvement of the structure of agricultural production, taking into account the impact of the war in Ukraine.
Conclusions. The developed mathematical model makes it possible to change the goals of agricultural enterprises in an operational manner and form an appropriate level of competitiveness to ensure the viability of agricultural enterprises. The proposed directions and management tools of agricultural enterprises will ensure an increase in the efficiency of agribusiness management during wartime conditions. Evaluation of the impact of the war on the components of the resource potential of agricultural enterprises will increase the efficiency of resource use.
Exploring the nexus between Credit risk and Off-balance sheet activities of commercial banks: A case of an emerging Asian economy
Authors: Mohamad Helmi bin Hidthiir
Published: March 2024

This study's primary purpose is to examine the relationship between credit risk and off-balance-sheet activities at conventional and Islamic commercial banks in Malaysia. In order to investigate and achieve the research's objectives between 2010 and 2017, a diverse group of 25 banks was chosen. The category of commercial banks includes both conventional and Islamic banking systems. Fixed effect and GMM panel estimates, followed by a series of diagnostic tests, seemed to be the most appropriate methodologies for this inquiry. According to the findings of the Husman test, endogeneity was shown to exist. In this instance, Arellano-Bond tests for zero autocorrelation may be obtained from the work's GMM analysis. In addition to establishing that the concept of market portfolio theory is accurate, the study demonstrated that off-balance-sheet performance may be improved by increasing fee-based income and, ultimately, performance, which would reduce credit risk. In addition, the results reveal a positive association between credit risk and credit risk, lending validity to the claim that financial intermediaries are required. The results of the study add credibility to market portfolio theory and financial intermediation theory. This is one of the first studies to examine credit risk and off-balance-sheet issues in Malaysia; it is also one of the earliest studies of its type. The research will aid legislators, bankers, and academics by enhancing their knowledge of these issues. The study evaluated the issue in three separate countries, taking bank-specific characteristics into consideration. Nevertheless, further study is necessary, especially with a larger sample size and under closer supervision

Published: March 2024

The forefront of global leadership agendas emphasizes the promotion of sustainable environmental development. Humanity grapples with a significant challenge posed by a worldwide environmental issue. Political institutions in every nation bear the responsibility of crafting and executing policy agendas. This study aims to scrutinize the intricate interplay between the existing state of political institutions, environmental emissions, and development indicators. Notably, it delves into the nuanced impact of diverse economic conditions, encompassing a free economy, a fluctuating economy, a degraded economy, and an improved economy. Over the course of twenty-four years, from 1998 to 2021, information for this study was collected from ten different ASEAN nations. The panel data methodology is utilized in order to answer the research question. Estimates that account for fixed effects indicate that there is a significant positive correlation between economic growth and CO2 emissions. It is also evident that CO2 emission levels are higher in Asean economies that are more volatile, such as Indonesia and Thailand, while they are lower in economies that have improved, such as Singapore. This study represents one of the pioneering investigations on the subject at hand. The insights derived from this research are poised to serve as a valuable guide for the implementation of environmental policies.

Exploring Domestic Violence and Child Abuse in Select Novels of Toni Morrison
Authors: Khanom Roxana
Published: March 2024

Violence against African American females, young and old, is an irresistible concern in the novels of Toni Morrison. Her best fictional pieces, ‘The Bluest Eye’, ‘Beloved’, and ‘God Help the Child’ are the vibrant spotlight of domestic violence and child abuse in variegated natures. Toni Morrison has dealt profusely with all sorts of child maltreatment in her oeuvre. In many of her narratives, Morrison weaves a tangled web of childhood trauma stories, in which all the characters have suffered some kind of abuse like racial discrimination, neglect, witnessing domestic violence, emotional and psychological abuse, molestation, sexual exploitation, verbal abuse, etc. She shows how the child’s exposure to traumatic experiences has far-reaching negative effects on adulthood, such as psychological, emotional, behavioral, and social. Morrison explores the curse of the past, the legacy of slavery and its aftermath, and its hold on the present, through the sociocultural phenomenon. Racism and intra-racial discrimination based on skin color result in childhood trauma. The sexual abuse of Pecola, the girl desiring the bluest eye by her drunken father has been very vividly picturized in the backdrop of racial conflict in ‘The Bluest Eye’. Morrison’s ‘Beloved’ fictionized the gruesome murder of an infant with a jigsaw by her mother, Sethe only to avoid escaping a slave. God Help the Child chronicled the ramifications of child abuse and neglect through the tale of Bride, a black girl with dark skin being born to light-skinned parents. Moreover, magic realism, socio-political aspects, and Toni Morrison’s lucid narratives provide ultra energy promoting her vivid message.

Sufrimiento Fetal Agudo asociado al uso de misoprostol
Authors: Villeda Mayorga Carlos David
Published: March 2024

PROBLEMA: El Sufrimiento Fetal Agudo (SFA) es una condición grave causada por una disfunción fisiológica que afecta al feto que puede resultar en daños permanentes o incluso la muerte en poco tiempo. OBJETIVO: Describir el Sufrimiento Fetal Agudo asociado al uso de misoprostol en la maduración cervical e inducción del trabajo de parto en embarazos a término. MÉTODO: Se realizó una investigación documental sistemática que abordó el uso del misoprostol en la maduración cervical e inducción del trabajo de parto. En este proceso, se presentaron argumentos y evidencias relacionadas con el tema. RESULTADOS: El uso de misoprostol en la maduración e inducción del trabajo de parto puede estar asociado al Sufrimiento Fetal Agudo. Esto se debe a que el fármaco puede prolongar el trabajo de parto en un porcentaje considerable de casos (hasta un 62.7%), causando hiperestimulación uterina en el 54.4% de los casos. Además, aproximadamente el 56.3% de los pacientes requerirán una cesárea para resolver el parto. CONCLUSIÓN: El uso de misoprostol en la maduración y la inducción del trabajo de parto puede incrementar el riesgo de sufrimiento fetal agudo debido a la hiperestimulación uterina y la alteración en el intercambio gaseoso entre la madre y el feto. Esto puede resultar en hipoxia, hipercapnia, acidosis metabólica e hipercontractilidad uterina, principalmente debido a errores en la administración y dosificación del fármaco.

Down in Mexico, Transmigration and Storying at the Border
Authors: Hernan Luis
Published: March 2024

New technologies on the Mexico-United States border involve an unprecedented collaboration between Silicon Valley and the United States Department of Defence. They bring with them a new form of narrating the border itself which, drawing on Science Fiction and Fantasy, is a means of justifying increasingly cruel ways of policing it. Crossing the border is often a transmigration, suggesting a change of racial states that involve moving from a darker to a whiter shade. In this article, I experiment with a transmigration of stories, moving across different traditions of imagining the future. My ficto-critical approach is inspired by Magical Realism as a way to enable a dual spatiality of the text. It allows for Western and Native understandings of the land to co-exist and is a strategy to explore the connections between the imaginary and the real. The fragmentation, and the splicing involved in bringing them together, is a methodology that makes visible the project of colonisation and violence that are made invisible by the new technologies of the border.

Published: March 2024

The authors address the problems faced by the international community in ensuring the protection of persons who were forced to flee their homes against their own will, but who remained within the borders of their own country. The article highlights the mechanisms of formation and implementation of the state policy on internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Ukraine that have been adopted since 2014; the Ukrainian state and the Government are shown to be taking measures to ensure the effective functioning of the current system of social support for IDPs; it has been proven that the priority in the policy of protection of IDPs’ rights in the near future should be given to the adoption of short- and medium-term decisions aimed at introducing effective mechanisms for meeting the basic needs of IDPs and ensuring their access to quality administrative and social services; it has been found that Ukraine takes all possible measures provided for by the Constitution, laws of Ukraine and international treaties to prevent the occurrence of prerequisites for forced internal displacement of persons, protection and observance of the rights and freedoms of IDPs, creation of conditions for the voluntary return of such persons to the abandoned place of residence or integration at a new place of residence in Ukraine; it is revealed that people who have moved to another city or region due to the war in Ukraine can become full participants in economic and social life in their new community. An effective mechanism for this is the councils of internally displaced persons at local and regional governmental bodies (IDP councils), created within the framework of the «Union for Action» program.
FEATURES OF THE CULTURE OF MANAGERIAL RELATIONS IN PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION (ANALYSIS OF EMPIRICAL RESEARCH DATA)
Authors: MALIMON Vitalii , Kotsaba Nataliia
Published: March 2024

The article is devoted to the study of the peculiarities of the culture of managerial relations in public administration. It is stated that the culture of managerial relations exists in all organizations, regardless of the form of ownership. In each organization, the management culture is unique and inimitable. It cannot be formed on its own; the main factor of its formation is the cultural values of each subject and object which form management relations.

It is established that managerial culture is formed under the influence of the internal and external environment, and its main elements are moral and ethical norms, values, worldview, mutual respect, professional and personal skills, compliance with subordination, level of discipline and level of education, etc. Formation of a culture of managerial relations in public administration is a complex and lengthy process, however, it is necessary to ensure effective management and development of a public organization.

The author conducted an empirical study of the level of communication culture in public authorities and local self-government bodies in Ukraine and identified the main moral and ethical standards that public servants must adhere to in their activities in accordance with the Constitution of Ukraine.

On the basis of the study, the author identifies the main problematic aspects of the culture of managerial relations and suggests ways to solve them, taking into account the national experience.

The problematic aspects of the culture of managerial relations are mainly related to specific challenges that arise between managers and subordinates, the transformation processes taking place in the State, the insufficient level of knowledge of management psychology, low motivation, corruption and lack of transparency in management, lack of readiness of public managers for continuous development and self-improvement, etc.

Published: March 2024

The article analyzes the transformation of public administration mechanisms in Ukraine caused by the ongoing military conflict with Russia. The authors sees the war as a catalyst for change that requires the Ukrainian government to adapt deeply and rapidly to new realities. The text describes in detail the challenges faced by Ukraine during the war, including the defense of its territory and sovereignty, ensuring the security of citizens, the impact of the war on the economy, and the humanitarian aspects related to millions of internally displaced persons.
It is noted that Russia's attack was the largest military aggression in Europe since World War II, causing large-scale destruction and human casualties. The authors emphasizes the difficulties faced by Ukraine in protecting its citizens from Russian shelling, as well as the humanitarian crisis that has arisen as a result of the war. In particular, working with internally displaced persons in Ukraine in the context of the war with Russia requires flexibility, a comprehensive approach and active cooperation between all stakeholders. It is not only about providing temporary assistance, but also about creating conditions for a full life and social integration of internally displaced persons, as well as comprehensive social and psychological rehabilitation, which is a guarantee of stability and resilience of Ukrainian society in difficult times of war. It is emphasized that despite the challenges, Ukraine has demonstrated the ability to adapt and innovate, attracting international support and developing new strategies for managing the crisis. The authors examines how changes in the mechanisms of public administration are aimed at restoring and strengthening the economic and social structure of the country, as well as at ensuring national security and defense.

Background: Bladder cancer is the most common malignancy of the urinary system, and the search for new and reliable biomarkers has important clinical significance for the personalized treatment of bladder cancer. This study aims to explore the correlation between nuclear proliferation antigen (Ki-67) or Profilin-1 (PFN1) levels, clinicopathological characteristics, and postoperative prognosis in patients with bladder cancer.  Methods: Patients with bladder cancer who underwent transurethral resection of bladder cancer tumor in The Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, hospital from January 2019 to January 2021 were selected as the study group (n = 60), and patients with benign lesions of bladder cancer during the same period were selected as the control group (n = 60). The expression of Ki-67 and PFN1 in tumor and bladder tissues of the two groups was analyzed. Ki-67 recorded the patient's pathological parameters and calculated the patient's postoperative prognosis. The correlation between Ki-67 and PFN1 expression levels, pathological parameters, and postoperative prognosis was analyzed.  Results: The positive expression rates of Ki-67 and PFN1 in the study group were 63.33% and 73.33%, respectively, which were significantly higher than the positive expression rates in the control group (χ2 = 14.803, 17.757, p < 0.001). The positive expression rates of Ki-67 and PFN1 were related to histological grade, clinical stage, infiltration, and lymph node metastasis, and the differences were statistically significant (p < 0.05). Bladder cancer patients with non muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), high-grade histological grade, Ta~T1 clinical stage, invasive, and lymph node metastasis have a higher Ki-67 positive expression rate than bladder cancer patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC), low-grade histological grade, T2~T4, non-invasive, and no lymph node metastasis. The high expression level of Ki-67 has little relationship with gender, age, tumor diameter, and vascular invasion (p > 0.05). The survival time and three-year survival rate of the Ki-67 positive expression group were significantly lower than those of the Ki-67 negative expression group (p < 0.05). The survival time and three-year survival rate of the PFN1 positive expression group were significantly lower than those of the PFN1 negative expression group (p < 0.05).  Conclusion: The positive expression rates of Ki-67 and PFN1 in bladder tumor tissue are significantly higher than those in bladder tissue, and pathological pattern, histological grade, clinical stage, infiltration, and lymph node metastasis are related to the positive expression rates of Ki-67 and PFN1, and different genders, ages, tumors diameter and vascular invasion are not related to the positive expression rates of Ki-67 and PFN1. The survival time and three-year survival rates of bladder cancer patients with Ki-67 positive and PFN1 positive expression are shorter.

Published: March 2024

La investigación sobre el marketing de influencers (IM) destaca los beneficios de los influencer para las marcas en términos de visibilidad, compromiso y ventas. No obstante, estudios en el campo de la psicología y de la salud señalan algunos comportamientos negativos de los influencers que afectan a sus audiencias, especialmente entre los menores. Entender estos efectos  requiere una comprensión más profunda de las interacciones, el entorno y los comportamientos en los que trabajan los influencers. Este artículo pretende profundizar en el negocio del IM destacando a todos los actores involucrados (consumidores, influencers, medios, marcas, plataformas, agencias, reguladores, instituciones) y evaluando su capacidad de influencia . El estudio muestra un análisis exploratorio de los actores involucrados en la industria del IM, basado en una metodología cualitativa que incluye 42 entrevistas en profundidad y 5 focus groups. Los resultados nos permiten avanzar tanto en la investigación como en la práctica del IM, permitiendo obtener una visión más profunda de los posibles efectos negativos, no sólo con respecto a las audiencias, sino también con respecto a todo el entorno de influencia.

Debido a que no existe claridad sobre cómo se relacionan los elementos que conforman la Gestión del Conocimiento en el contexto de la economía solidaria, el objetivo del artículo es analizar la interacción entre las dimensiones de la gestión del conocimiento en las cooperativas de ahorro y crédito de Barranquilla (Colombia). Para esto se desarrolló un estudio positivista, explicativo, transeccional, no experimental y de campo en toda la población. Como instrumento se utilizó un cuestionario de escala ordinal tipo Likert, con cinco opciones de respuesta y confiabilidad de 0,95. El análisis de componentes principales (Análisis factorial) fue utilizado como herramienta estadística. Los resultados destacan que el capital humano presenta cargas significativas, tanto en el factor aprendizaje organizacional como en el de capital intelectual; explicando así el 62,9% de la gestión del conocimiento en este tipo de organizaciones. Lo que sugiere un vínculo entre ambos factores mediado por los individuos, contribuyendo así a la transformación del conocimiento tácito a explícito. Asimismo, se observa que los directivos le asignan mayor valor a las tecnologías cuando estas son integradas al capital estructural en forma de sistemas de apoyo. Se concluye que, en el contexto de las empresas estudiadas, el aprendizaje organizacional constituye un proceso natural y sistematizado que se diferencia de la gestión del conocimiento, cuando los líderes asumen responsabilidad sobre la acción.
Nonprofit organizationsbusiness co-creation as a consequence of relational norms: Can improve it with a business-like approach?
Authors: Díaz-Perdomo Yolanda
Published: March 2024

Co-creation has emerged as an outstanding issue in today’s society. Mainly, research efforts have been conducted in business literature (particularly, following the service-dominant logic approach). However, there is a lack of theoretical and empirical studies that analyze value co-creation from the non-profit’s point of view; and, in particular, the strategy of value co-creation in collaborative relationships between non-profit organizations and companies is an under-researched topic. From the theory of psychological contracts, relational norms are considered a mechanism that promotes co-creation processes. Furthermore, the non-profit organizations have been increasingly becoming more business-like (through market orientation, venture philanthropy, corporate governance structure, entrepreneurial behavior, and professionalization) to improve the impact achieved with the development of their activities. Combining a thorough literature revision and a quantitative-based research with 205 nonprofits, The study attempts to identify to what extent the establishment of relational norms between NPOs and companies in their co-creation relationships is really conditioned by the business-like factors of the NPOs. Several implications are derived for non-profit managers, which will help them implement effective management strategies in their relationshipswith companies.

La participación activa de las mujeres en las entidades de Economía Social y Solidaria (ESS) encuentra su fundamentación en la oportunidad de acceder a empleo digno, formar parte de proyectos que les permitan ejercer la toma de decisiones, integrarse en entornos laborales igualitarios y fomentar el liderazgo. Dada la base de principios y valores que sustentan la ESS, diversos estudios resaltan su papel fundamental en la reversión de las desigualdades de género, estableciendo un diálogo esencial con la economía feminista. El objetivo de este artículo es realizar una revisión sobre los desafíos y retos de las entidades de ESS desde una perspectiva de género. Para ello, se revisan las principales contribuciones y planteamientos de la economía feminista, se examinan los espacios de encuentro de la ESS y la economía feminista y se proponen los elementos de avance para abordar en las entidades de la ESS la perspectiva feminista.
