GESTÃO DE PESSOAS E RECURSOS HUMANOS: TENDÊNCIAS PÓS-PANDEMIA
Authors: Maia Gabriela
Published: February 2022

As mudanças dentro de uma empresa ocorrem cada vez mais rapidamente e essa velocidade vem gerando impactos na gestão das organizações, surgindo, assim, a necessidade de se repensar os modelos de gestão. A pandemia trouxe muitas mudanças no campo do trabalho corporativo. As velhas máximas não mais se aplicam ao contexto atual. As relações de trabalho e a forma de trabalhar foram significativamente modificadas. Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo geral analisar o papel da gestão de pessoas e dos Recursos Humanos num cenário pós-pandemia. Foram objetivos específicos deste trabalho: discorrer sobre a gestão de pessoas; expor noções sobre liderança; explicar a pandemia da Covid-19; e pesquisar sobre as relações de trabalho e gestão de pessoas no período pós-pandêmico. Para o alcance dos objetivos enumerados optou-se pela revisão de literatura em bibliografias já publicadas, a exemplo de livros, artigos científicos, revistas, documentos eletrônicos e enciclopédias na busca e alocação de conhecimentos sobre o tema. Concluiu-se que, em geral, as organizações enfrentam os desafios deste momento de crise. Mas à medida que avança-se imaginando-se uma era pós-pandêmica, vislumbra-se que um sistema de gestão baseado em regras antigas e em hierarquia rígida, uniformidade, burocracia e controle, não será mais eficaz. Em seu lugar, deve haver um modelo que seja mais flexível e responsivo, construído em torno de quatro tendências inter-relacionadas: mais conexão, automação sem precedentes, menores custos de transação e mudanças demográficas.

O ano de 2020 revolucionou o modo como as pessoas se comunicam e realizam suas compras, impactando no marketing e tornando possível consideráveis mudanças nessa área visando atender as necessidades de uma população que passou a viver em isolamento social devido à pandemia do Covid-19. Neste cenário, as empresas passaram a enfrentar desafios diversos, quais sejam: melhorar a gestão do fluxo de caixa; necessidade de migrar os modelos de negócios analógicos para o digital; e, transformar o departamento de marketing, muitas vezes considerado como um custo desnecessário, em um centro de aquisição de receitas de forma previsível, escalonável e sustentável. Diante do exposto, esta pesquisa teve como objetivo geral analisar a importância do marketing digital para as empresas durante a pandemia. Elegeram-se como objetivos específicos: discorrer sobre o marketing digital; explicar como se processa a comunicação digital; e expor a importância do marketing digital para as empresas durante a pandemia do Covid-19. Como metodologia, foi empregada a pesquisa bibliográfica em livros, artigos científicos e documentos eletrônicos na busca de conhecimento sobre o tema. Concluiu-se que, devido à pandemia que assolou o mundo e impeliu as pessoas a viverem em confinamento, as redes sociais tornaram-se uma ferramenta fundamental para as empresas alcançarem os consumidores. Hoje, estar nas redes sociais pode ser considerado uma estratégia de marketing de relacionamento, por tratar-se de um canal que oportuniza a criação de conteúdos de qualidade, além de promover e tornar possível manter as vendas e conquistar novos clientes.

O EMOCIONAL E A PANDEMIA DE COVID-19
Authors: Dias Aldenice Contente
Published: February 2022

O trabalho O emocional e a pandemia de Covid-19, tem como objetivo mostrar que a pandemia abalou as emoções de muitas pessoas, entre elas, as crianças e contribuiu para o aumento de  doenças emocionais, como a ansiedade e a depressão, por exemplo, tendo destaque aqui, a ansiedade. Com o isolamento social,  as pessoas ficaram presas em suas  casas como medida para conter o contágio do vírus. Diante do caos, questiona-se: Até que ponto se tem estabilidade emocional? É comum as pessoas terem seguros de carro, seguro de vida, seguro da casa. Mas e o seguro das emoções, existe? Ainda não se ouviu falar, sabes por quê? Porque o emocional é controlado e equilibrado pelo próprio indivíduo, e a pandemia de Covid-19 desestabilizou a psique de muitos indivíduos. A metodologia utilizada nesta pesquisa foi de natureza qualitativa, com revisão  bibliográfica. O estudo traz reflexões que ajudam a esclarecer o quão frágil o ser humano é, emocionalmente. E que o invisível, que é o vírus Sars-cov-2, levou muitas pessoas a procurarem ajuda psicológica, uma vez que a pandemia mudou rotinas.
Impact of urban heat island on inorganic aerosol in the lower free troposphere: a case study in Hangzhou, China
Authors: Kang Hanqing , Zhu Bin , de Leeuw Gerrit , Yu Bu , van der A Ronald J. , Lu Wen
Published: February 2022

Abstract. Urban heat island (UHI) and urban air pollution are two major environmental problems faced by many metropolises. The UHI affects air pollution by changing the local circulation and the chemical reaction environment, e.g., air temperature and relative humidity. In this study, the WRF-CMAQ model was used to investigate the impact of an UHI on the vertical distribution of aerosol particles, especially secondary inorganic aerosol (SIA), taking the strong UHI in Hangzhou, China, as an example. Results show that due to the UHI effect, PM2.5 concentrations over Hangzhou decreased by about 26 % in the boundary layer (BL) but increased by about 21 % in the lower free troposphere (LFT). This is mostly attributed to the UHI circulation (~90 %) rather than changes in the air temperature (~5 %) and humidity (~4 %). The UHI circulation not only directly transports aerosol particles from ground level to the LFT, but also redistributes aerosol precursors. About 80 % of the increase of the aerosol particles in the LFT due to the UHI circulation effect is contributed by direct transport of aerosol particles, whereas the other 20 % is due to secondary aerosol formation resulting from the transport of aerosol precursor gases. Of this 20 %, secondary inorganic aerosol (SIA), especially nitrate and ammonium aerosol formed from ammonia and nitric acid, contributes 91 %. In the atmosphere, ammonium nitrate is in equilibrium with ammonia and nitric acid and the equilibrium depends on the ambient temperature. In the lower urban BL, the temperature is higher than in the LFT and the ammonium nitrate equilibrium in the lower BL is more toward the gas phase than in the LFT; when these gases are transported by the UHI circulation into the colder LFT, the equilibrium shifts to the aerosol phase. Hence, the UHI circulation changes the vertical distribution of SIA, which may have potential implications on the radiation budget, cloud formation, and precipitation in the urban and surrounding areas.
Local time dependence of auroral peak emission height and morphology
Authors: Partamies Noora , Whiter Daniel , Kauristie Kirsti , Massetti Stefano
Published: February 2022

Abstract. We investigate the bulk behaviour of auroral structures and peak emission height as a function of magnetic local time (MLT). These data are collected from the Fennoscandian Lapland and Svalbard latitudes from seven identical auroral all-sky cameras over about one solar cycle. The analysis focusses on green auroral emission, which is where the morphology is most clearly visible and the number of images is highest. The typical peak emission height of the green and blue aurora varies from 110 km on the nightside to about 118 km in the morning MLT over the Lapland region. It stays systematically higher (at 118–120 km) at high latitudes (Svalbard) at nighttime and reaches 140 km at around magnetic noon. During high solar wind speed (above 500 km/s) nightside emission heights appear about 5 km lower than during slow solar wind speed (below 400 km/s). The sign of the Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF) has nearly no effect on the emission heights in the night sector, but northward IMF causes lower emission heights in the dawn over Lapland and during the noon hours over Svalbard. While the former is interpreted as a change in the particle population within the field-of-view, the latter is rather due to the movement of the cusp location due to the IMF orientation. The morning sector heights also show a pronounced difference when previously detected pulsating aurora events have been excluded/included in the dataset, suggesting that this type of aurora is a dominant phenomenon in the morning and an important dissipation mechanism. The morphological evolution described by an increase of complex auroral structures in the midnight hours follows the average substorm occurrence. This effect is enhanced during stronger solar wind driving and during higher geomagnetic activity (as measured by auroral electrojet index, AL). During high solar wind speed, the high latitude auroral evolution shows particularly complex morphology, which is not limited to the nightside but rather only excluding the magnetic noon hours. An increase in the geomagnetic activity further enhances the structural complexity of the aurora in the morning sector.
Accurately calibrated XRF-CS record of Ti/Al reveals Early Pleistocene aridity/humidity variability over North Africa and its close relationship to low-latitude insolation

Published: February 2022

Abstract. In eastern Mediterranean Sea sediments, the titanium to aluminum ratio (Ti/Al) captures relative variability in eolian to riverine derived material, and predominantly integrates climate signals over the Saharan and Sahel regions. Long Ti/Al time series can, therefore, provide valuable records of North African humidity/aridity changes. X-ray fluorescence core scanning (XRF-CS) can generate near-continuous Ti/Al records with relatively modest effort and in an acceptable amount of time, provided that accurate Ti/Al values are acquired. Calibration of the raw XRF-CS data to those of established analytical methods is an important pathway to obtain this required accuracy. We assess how to obtain reliable XRF-CS Ti/Al calibration by using different sets of calibration reference samples for a long sediment record from ODP Site 967 (eastern Mediterranean). The accuracy of reference concentrations and the number of reference samples are important components for reliable calibration. The acquired continuous Ti/Al record allows detailed time-series analysis over the past 3 Ma. A near-direct control of low-latitude insolation on the timing and amplitude of North African aridity/humidity is observed from 3 to ~1.2 Ma. It is evident from our Ti/Al record that the most arid North African intervals (i.e., with longest period and highest amplitude) occur after the mid-Pleistocene transition (MPT; ~1.2–0.7 Ma). Concurrently, correlation between North African aridity/humidity (Ti/Al) and higher latitude climate signals (ice-volume variability) increases around the MPT. These findings support the growing consensus that African climate became more sensitive to remote high-latitude climate when a threshold ice volume was reached during the MPT.
Reduced surface fine dust under droughts over the southeastern United States during summertime: observations and CMIP6 model simulations
Authors: Li Wei , Wang Yuxuan
Published: February 2022

Abstract. Drought is an extreme hydroclimate event that has been shown to cause the increase of surface fine dust near source regions, while the drought-dust relationship in regions predominantly influenced by long-range transported dust such as the southeastern US (SEUS) has received less attention. Using long-term surface fine dust observations, weekly US Drought Monitor (USDM), and monthly Standardized Precipitation-Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI), this study unmasks spatial disparity in drought-dust relationships where the SEUS stands out as being abnormous in that it shows a decrease in surface dust concentrations during drought in contrast to the expected increase in dust found in other contiguous US (CONUS) regions. Surface fine dust was found to decrease by ~0.5 µg/m3 with a unit decrease of SPEI in the SEUS, as opposed to an increase of ~0.15 µg/m3 in the west. The anomalies of elemental ratios, satellite aerosol optical depth (AOD), and dust extinction coefficients suggest that both the emissions and trans-Atlantic transport of African dust are weakened when the SEUS is under droughts. Through the teleconnection patterns of negative North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), a lower than normal and more northeastward displacement of the Bermuda High (BH) was present during SEUS droughts which resulted in less dust being transported into the SEUS. At the same time, enhanced precipitation in Sahel associated with the northward shift of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) leads to lower dust emissions therein. Of the four selected models participating in the sixth phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6), GISS-E2-1-G was found to perform the best in capturing the drought-dust sensitivity in the SEUS. This study reveals the mechanism of how regional-scale droughts influence aerosol abundance through changing long-range transport of dust.
The effect of natural infrastructure on water erosion mitigation in the Andes

Published: February 2022

Abstract. To expand the knowledge base on natural infrastructure for erosion
mitigation in the Andes, it is necessary to move beyond case by case empirical
studies to comprehensive assessments. This study reviews the state of
evidence on the effectiveness of interventions to mitigate soil erosion by
water and is based on Andean case studies published in gray and
peer-reviewed literature. Based on a systematic review of 118 case studies
from the Andes, this study addressed the following research questions. (1) Which erosion indicators allow us to assess the effectiveness of natural
infrastructure? (2) What is the overall impact of working with natural
infrastructure on on-site and off-site erosion mitigation? (3) Which
locations and types of studies are needed to fill critical gaps in knowledge
and research? Three major categories of natural infrastructure were considered:
restoration and protection of natural vegetation, such as forest or native
grasslands, forestation with native or exotic species and implementation of
soil and water conservation measures for erosion mitigation. From the suite
of physical, chemical and biological indicators commonly used in soil
erosion research, two indicators were particularly relevant: soil organic
carbon of topsoil and soil loss rates at plot scale. The protection and
conservation of natural vegetation has the strongest effect on soil quality,
with 3.01±0.893 times higher soil organic carbon content in the
topsoil compared to control sites. Soil quality improvements are significant
but lower for forestation and soil and water conservation measures. Soil and
water conservation measures reduce soil erosion to 62.1 % ± 9.2 %,
even though erosion mitigation is highest when natural vegetation is
maintained. Further research is needed to evaluate whether the reported
effectiveness holds during extreme events related to, for example, El
Niño–Southern Oscillation.

First detailed musculoskeletal study of a fetus with scoliosis and review of current literature
Authors: Barra Andrew E , Chadha Herman , Diogo Rui
Published: February 2022

No papers have described, so far, the muscular anomalies present in human fetuses with scoliosis. This paper provides a detailed report along with images on the musculoskeletal structures of a fetus with scoliosis, focusing in particular on the musculature of the posterior thoracic region. The dissections reveal several anomalies in different muscle groups secondary to the severe curvature of the spine. This study, which is part of a broader attempt to describe and collect knowledge about human musculoskeletal abnormalities occurring in congenital scoliosis, as well as in a plethora of other conditions and syndromes, will likely lead not only to a greater understanding of congenital scoliosis in particular and human congenital malformations in general, but also to wider discussions on developmental and evolutionary biology. Such studies are crucial to help in the diagnosis and management options to improve quality of life in patients diagnosed with congenital scoliosis in particular.

Published: February 2022

Routine panoramic radiographic evaluations reveal morphological differences in the maxillofacial structures, particularly the mandible. Although bifid condyle variants are prevalent, bifid coronoid processes are rarely reported. Here a regular digital Orthopantomograph (OPG) was advised for the patient’s routine dental care, which revealed the presence of a unilateral bifid coronoid process on the right side of the jaw, which was confirmed with Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT). This is notable, because it is only the second incidence of its kind to be documented.
Effect of Hair Salon Selection Criteria on Consumer Behavior and Satisfaction
Authors: Kim Nu-Rim , Jin Yong-Mi
Published: February 2022

This study seeks to identify effects of hair salon selection criteria on consumer behavior and customer satisfaction in recent times to provide current management strategies for hair salons operating under the changing post-corona business conditions. 346 surveys were collected and ran through SPSS 21.0 program for frequency, reliability and multiple regression analysis. The outcome indicated competence and relation factors of selection criteria variable had statistically significant positive effect on all consumer behavior factors while price factor of selection criteria had negative effect on consumer behavior variable’s positive promotion factor. Competence and relation factors of selection criteria variable had positive effect on service and price satisfaction factors while increased tendency for price factor had reverse effect on service satisfaction factor. Therefore, in order to increase customer satisfaction and encourage positive promotional activities, hair salons shouldn’t focus too much on pricing as sometimes lower price can have little impact or even reverse effect on customer’s perception of service quality, and instead focus on implementing workplace training that enhances competency and relational abilities of professional hairdressers.

Authors: Yinuo Jiang , Choi Young-Hee , Lee Se-Hee , Xingzhu Chen , Choi Eun-Young
Published: February 2022

This study examines the mediating effect of brand factors and the moderating effect of nationality and age in the relationship between compulsive buying tendency and repurchase intention of herbal cosmetics by female consumers. The study subjects were 205 Korean and 205 Chinese female consumers who had used Korean herbal cosmetics. The collected data was analyzed to get the general characteristics of the research subjects using the SPSS 23.0 program, and descriptive statistics, reliability, and correlation analyses were performed. Furthermore, the appropriate structural model for the research hypothesis was investigated using the AMOS 21.0 program to develop a final model. As a result of the study, brand factors showed a mediating effect between compulsive buying tendency and repurchase intention. Additionally, it was found that Chinese female consumers had a stronger positive effect on the relationship between compulsive buying tendency and repurchase intention than Korean female consumers. Moreover, the younger the research subjects, the stronger the positive effect on the relationship between compulsive buying tendency and brand factors, and the older the research subjects, the stronger positive effect brand factor had on repurchase intention. In conclusion, the results of this study are expected to provide basic research data for Korean herbal cosmetics companies to lead the Korean and Chinese markets and to further grow and develop.

Authors: Kim Hyoun-Sook , Shin Kyu-Ok
Published: February 2022

This study is a literature review for the introduction of the beauty welfare system in Korea which has entered an aging society. Korea is the fastest aging country among OECD countries, and has many social problems such as poverty and suicide of the elderly. A beauty welfare system is needed to raise the depression, self-esteem, and social skills of these elderly people, and to improve the quality of life. We searched for papers related to beauty welfare published in four major academic journals in the field of beauty over the past decade and selected advanced cases ffor the introduction of the beauty welfare system in Korea. First, we proposed the necessity of establishing the concept of beauty welfare in Korea, which is still ambiguous. In addition, Japan's beauty welfare system and professional training education, which faced an aging society ahead of Korea, were summarized and presented. Lastly, the papers written on the topic of beauty welfare were classified according to their characteristics, and they were largely divided into emotional and institutional aspects. In Korea, which has many problems with the elderly, it is very important to introduce a beauty welfare system and to train professional beauty welfare workers. This study is intended to be used as basic data for setting the direction of research on beauty welfare in Korea and introducing the beauty welfare system.

The Impact of Education and Training on the Level of Poverty or Social Exclusion in European Countries
Authors: Walczak Marcin Krzysztof
Published: February 2022

Education is said to be the “great equalizer of the conditions of men”. The aim of this paper is to examine the relationship between participation rate in education and training and people at risk of poverty and social exclusion. The source of data, used in the research, is Eurostat. The data represents the 25-64-year-old age group. The analyzed period is 2016-2020. It represents both genders in 34 European countries. Some countries were excluded from the analysis due to the lack of data for some years within the analyzed period. For each variable measures of descriptive statistics (measures of central tendency, measures of variability and measures of asymmetry) were calculated. Then the Pearson correlation of coefficient and coefficient of determination were computed. To assess the significance of the correlation of coefficient, hypothesis testing was performed. The procedure was performed using rejection region method and two-tailed p-vale method. Although, in 2016 and 2017, a strong linear correlation was detected between the participation rate in education and training and people at risk of poverty or social exclusion, its significance is gradually decreasing. Despite this, it should be emphasized that children born in poverty or in socially excluded families have a lower chance of succeeding in education and thus escape from the vicious circle of poverty. Thus, education should still be perceived as an important factor, and the main ‘tool’ to fight against poverty.

Authors: Diamantis Konstantinos , Koupidis Kleanthis , Bikos Konstantinos
Published: February 2022

The present article investigates the dimensions of utilization of Response Systems (RSs) in the teaching process. These RSs provide learners with real-time interaction and strengthen their participation. The project is an attempt to record the views of students (N=199) regarding the experience and the impact of their involvement in the use of RSs. In an interdepartmental course taught at the Department of Philosophy and Education of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki during the spring semester of 2020, students used RSs before, during and after the teaching process. Participants were asked to complete an appropriate questionnaire regarding online RSs applications. In this study, we examined how and to what extent students accepted their involvement in the RSs in the first phase of the Covid-19 pandemic period. The participants, coming from nine University Departments, evaluated positively the integration in RSs teaching. The results showed that more than nine out of ten participants agree that these applications provide new possibilities for strengthening teaching methods through an entertaining experience and the participants have stated that these applications enhance active participation and collaborative learning and engage them actively and pleasantly in a metacognitive function process.

آثار الاتفاقيات الزراعية لمنظمة التجارة العالمية على إنتاج الماشية الحية و اللحوم السودانية (2004 م)‎

يعد السودان في مجموعة الدول الأقل نموا، حيث يعتمد اقتصاده على القطاع الزراعي (48% من الناتج المحلي الإجمالي) بينما يسهم قطاع الثروة الحيوانية بحوالي 40% من مساهمة القطاع الزراعي بالسودان.

إن أهم اتفاقيات جولة الأوروجواي لمفاوضات (الجات) 1986-1993 م هي الجوانب الزراعية، تهدف الدراسة إلى التعرف على الآثار المحتملة لتطبيق الإتفاقية الزراعية لمنظمة التجارة العالمية على القطاع الزراعي السوداني عامة و قطاع الثروةالحيوانية خاصة.

كما تتناول هذه الدراسة الآثار الناجمة عن تطبيق تلك الاتفاقية على قطاع الماشية الحية واللحوم السودانية، و ذلك بتسليط الضوء على بنود الإتفاقية الزراعية لمنظمة التجارة العالمية، مسح موارد الثروة الحيوانية بالسودان، توضيح العرض و الطلبعلى اللحوم السودانية و المسحوبات السنوية من الثروة الحيوانية، ثم سياسات و معوقات إنتاج اللحوم الحمراء بالسودان و أخيرا تحليل آثار تطبيق الاتفاقية على قطاع الثروة الحيوانية.

أهم نتائج هذه الدراسة تتلخص في الآتي : 1- ضعف مؤسسات التمويل لعمليات الإنتاج و الصادر في قطاع الثروة الحيوانية.

Introduction: Recent evidence suggests that long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (LC n-3) supplementation may enhance training adaptations associated with athletic performance. This study examined the impact of LC n-3 supplementation on body composition, strength, and power in collegiate athletes.
Methods:  Athletes (n = 27) were assigned to one of two conditions for eight weeks: fish oil (FO, 3.0 g∙d-1 [1.75g EPA and 1.1g DHA], n = 15) or placebo (PL, high-oleic safflower oil, 3g, n = 12) for 8-weeks. Athletes completed a three-day food log and questionnaire, provided a blood sample via fingerstick to determine their LC n-3 status, conducted body composition analysis through dual energy x-ray absorptiometry, and had their handgrip strength (HGS) and countermovement jump assessed.
Results: In the FO group, the omega-3 index, EPA and DHA increased by 73%, 332% and 64%, respectively, while there was no change in the placebo group. HGS significantly improved in the FO group (p = .018, +9.1%) and did not change in the placebo group (p = .615, -1.8%). Body composition and power were similar between groups. The change in HGS was positively correlated with the relative change in EPA and EPA:AA ratio.
Conclusions: For in-season athletes, the addition of LC n-3 supplementation to a dietary regime increases blood LC n-3 status and may preserve or improve muscular performance while in-season.
Student Perception of an OMM Virtual Practical Examination: In the Setting of Social Distancing
Authors: Berenbeim Gabriel , Metzler Isaac , Lewis Drew , Jie Chunfa
Published: February 2022

Introduction:

Osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM) practical examinations (PEs) are important for assessing osteopathic medical students’ cognitive knowledge and psychomotor skills required for osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT). In the response to the COVID-19 pandemic, first-year medical students at Des Moines University (DMU) were no longer allowed to participate in a standard in-person PE (sPE) in December 2020. A novel virtual PE (vPE) over Zoom was developed to assess the students’ understanding of OMM learned in lab to replace the sPE.

Objective:

To determine if the vPE was perceived by the students as a successful and efficacious alternative to the sPE.

Method:

After the graduating class of 2024 completed their vPE, an administrative email from the DMU OMM department was sent to gather anonymous, voluntary student feedback evaluating their perception and experience of the vPE. The survey consisted of 5 Likert scale questions that asked students to determine the extent they agree to 5 distinct statements and the survey contained a free-text response question asking for suggestions to improve the vPE experience. A Chi-square test of goodness-of-fit was used to assess for equal distributions of responses. Simultaneous 95% confidence intervals (CI) for multinomial proportions were created. The free text was qualitatively analyzed based on themes.

Results:

Of the 224 first-year osteopathic students, 207 students responded to the Likert scale questions and 113 responded to the free text. Students strongly agree or somewhat agree that the vPE was a fair assessment of their knowledge of OMM lab material (90.82%) and optimally assessed their procedural OMM skills (86.96%). Students strongly agree that the vPE better assessed their OMM lab knowledge than a written multiple-choice examination (73.91%) and they received helpful feedback during the vPE (77.78%).

Conclusion:

Survey results support that the vPE was perceived by students to be an effective and fair alternative to the sPE. The creative use of a pair of pants and a prop sacrum was validated, as students confirmed that the vPE optimally assessed their procedural skills given the practical’s limitations.
Innovation Management and Overall Business Performance: Exploratory Study in Chadian Context in the Two Logones
Authors: Mignenan Victor
Published: February 2022

Studies on innovation management, carried out so far, have clearly revealed its importance for the performance of companies. However, its control of overall performance combining organizational, social, economic, societal, and environmental dimensions remains little explored. Even research on its model combining integrated innovation projects, to explain the overall performance is few. To understand the relevance of conducting inclusive innovation projects, a study of companies in the agri-food sector was carried out. We have deployed the mixed methodology. Data production was conducted through 11 semi-structured interviews and 90 surveys per survey. The deconstruction approach of innovation management, from organizational innovation to environmental innovation, was used. The results showed that organizational innovation plays a decisive role in organizational, financial, and overall performance. De, technological and social innovations increase economic performance and contribute to the improvement of overall performance. On the other hand, societal and environmental innovations are less relevant for organizational and financial performance. However, they play a decisive role in the management of climate change and the reputation of the organization with society. But, above all, it is the combination of the four types of innovation that constitutes better actions for the overall performance of the company. The article is useful for researchers who will find renewed definitions of each configuration of innovation projects, performances, proven items, and that prove to be more relevant. While managers and consultants will find new performance factors to effectively improve and enhance the implementation of innovation projects. This article is part of resource theory and performance theory and suggests that there is a differentiated relational contingency to each of the factors.

Published: February 2022

PurposeThe present study explored experiences of former markers of undergraduate assignments and examinations at the University of South Africa (Unisa). MethodologyQualitative method of research was used to gather data.  Colaizzi’s method (1978) was used to analyze and interpret data. The article’s frame of reference was informed by Mezirow’s transformative learning theory which is aligned to critical theory (Mezirow 2009).FindingsFindings were based on the following: Demographic information, markers’ experiences in marking assignments and exam books, content knowledge, markers’ meetings, duration of marking assignments and examination books as well as students support, and suggestions are the themes that emerged from the data that was gathered.OriginalityIt is recommended that the university must develop a policy for external markers for marking assignments and examinations of undergraduate program. All E-tutors must be trained to support students after the official closure of registration and before examinations are set. All markers must be trained - through a markers’ guide - to mark assignments and examination books.
Moisture availability and its application in evaluating agriculture potential in semi-arid region
Authors: MONDAL S.S.
Published: February 2022

The States of Punjab and. Haryana generally belong to part of arid and semi-arid regions of India. An Index known as Moisture Availability Index (MAI) has been used to demarcate it into different agroclimatic zones. The four zones Identified were named Very Low Potential (VLP) Low Potential (LP) Moderate Potential (MP) and High Potential (HP) zones. The zone V.LP had the lowest crop potential area where crops are possible in only 20.30% of the years A short duration rainfed crop of 10-12 weeks duration may be grown from zone LP while in area MP the crop growing potential is slightly more. From agricultural point of view area HP appears best suited with minimum risk. Crop prospects at one station In each zone at various risk levels have also been discussed.
Is thorax CT necessary in emergency thoracic traumas?
Authors: Yakşi Osman , Öztok Tekten Beliz
Published: February 2022

Aim: Recently, computed thorax tomography (Thorax CT) has replaced chest radiography as a routine imaging method in patients presenting to the emergency department after thoracic trauma. It has been shown that unnecessary use of thorax CT increases exposure to high-dose radiation, increases hospital costs, and prolongs the length of stay in the wards. Our study investigated the clinical necessity of thorax CT scans for patients who applied to our emergency department with thoracic trauma.Methods: The data of 515 patients diagnosed with thoracic trauma in the emergency department between January 2017 and January 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. According to thorax CT findings, sternum fracture, diffuse parenchymal contusion, scapula fracture, presence of hemothorax, penetrating chest trauma, 3 or more costal fractures, vertebral fracture, diaphragm rupture, and mediastinal organ injury were evaluated as criteria showing that thorax CT was performed with a correct indication.Results: When we look at the thorax CT requirement criteria that we have determined, we saw that 391 (75.9%) patients had thorax CT performed with the correct indication, and 124 (24.1%) patients did not give us any additional pathological findings.Conclusion: As a result, we think that a good physical examination, evaluation of clinical findings, and performing thorax CT according to chest radiography findings will reduce unnecessary radiation exposure and hospital expenditure costs.
