Published: October 2024

Inland Container Depots (ICDs) are inland multi-modal terminals where goods in intermodal loading units can be transferred directly to seaports. The contribution of ICDs to regions’ economic and social growth is undeniable. To achieve the sustainable development of ICDs, evaluating and improving their service quality is critical. This study aims to investigate the factors contributing to the service quality of ICD in a developing country. The data utilized covers some ICDs in the Red River Delta, Vietnam. Regarding analytic methods, descriptive statistics first were run to show the level of aspects of service quality of ICDs. Subsequently, attitudinal statements were analyzed using exploratory factor analysis before linear regression was applied to recognize the factors influencing the service quality of ICDs. Generally, the service quality of ICDs was evaluated at an acceptable level but far from the high one. The results suggested that the four influential service quality factors included location and accessibility, facilities, process and management, and labor. Based on the findings of contributing factors, managerial implications were proposed.

Published: October 2024

This study aimed to examine the impact of working conditions and sociopsychological factors on job satisfaction among office workers. Using data from the 2017–2018 Working Conditions Survey, exploring how workplace conditions and sociopsychological elements could impact job satisfaction. This study examined data from 9801 workers to explore the effects of working conditions and psychosocial environments on job enthusiasm, which subsequently impacts job satisfaction. Analyzing 1416 office workers, it found that fewer working hours, better work-life balance, improved work conditions, and lower depression levels enhance job enthusiasm, significantly affecting job satisfaction. The work environment had the most substantial impact, encompassing relationships with colleagues, task completion time, and confidence. Work-life imbalance and depression were also significant, with work-life balance being crucial for modern society, especially the younger generation. Poor working conditions and unstable psychosocial environments negatively affect job enthusiasm and satisfaction, with findings supporting previous research on job stress and turnover intentions in various industries. This study highlights the need for organizational policies that support these aspects to improve overall employee well-being and productivity.

La adolescencia es una etapa crítica para el desarrollo de hábitos que impactan la salud a largo plazo. Este estudio se enfocó en evaluar los hábitos saludables, conductas de riesgo y su relación con el índice de masa corporal (IMC) en adolescentes nicaragüenses. Se examinaron factores como alimentación, actividad física, consumo de sustancias, sedentarismo y uso de redes sociales. Se aplicó la encuesta RAPHAEL (Evaluación de Riesgos, Salud Física, Adicciones y Vida Emocional) a 233 estudiantes de secundaria y universitarios menores de 18 años. El IMC se calculó y clasificó según los estándares de la OMS. Se realizaron análisis estadísticos para comparar variables entre grupos y evaluar asociaciones. El sobrepeso y la obesidad fueron más prevalentes en universitarios, mientras que los estudiantes de secundaria reportaron más tiempo en actividades sedentarias, pero también mayor actividad física. Ambos grupos mostraron patrones similares en alimentación. Se observó un consumo considerable de alcohol y tabaco en ambos grupos. Los hallazgos resaltan la necesidad de intervenciones tempranas para promover hábitos saludables y prevenir el sobrepeso y la obesidad en adolescentes nicaragüenses. La relación entre el tiempo sedentario, la actividad física y el IMC subraya la importancia de abordar ambos aspectos en conjunto. El consumo de alcohol y tabaco plantea preocupaciones sobre posibles riesgos para la salud a largo plazo y la necesidad de programas de prevención. Para concluir, este estudio proporciona información valiosa sobre los hábitos de salud y conductas de riesgo en adolescentes nicaragüenses. Los resultados sugieren la implementación de programas integrales de promoción de la salud en entornos educativos, enfocados en alimentación saludable, actividad física, prevención del consumo de sustancias y manejo del peso corporal.

Published: October 2024

The paper studies the sector of certified social enterprises in Romania as relatively new players in the social economy field. Certified social enterprises are researched from two perspectives. First, the dynamics in the past years using secondary data analysis based on official data in the Unique Register of Social Enterprises June 2023 Version. Secondly, the paper focuses on identifying the dominant models of certified social enterprises based on the theoretical framework for social enterprise typology proposed by Marthe Nyssens and Jacques Defourny in 2016. Our research results indicate a small number of certified social enterprises in the emergent sub-sector of the Romanian social economy. Overwhelmingly (90%), the accredited entities are defined as other categories of legal persons (limited liability companies - SRLs), and their establishment and certification are mainly related to ESF funding. The dominant model of certified social enterprises in Romania is the Social Business Model, followed by the Entrepreneurial Non-Profit Model.
Coaching practices: a narrative literature review
Authors:   National University of Political Studies and Public Administration, HIRTIE Dumitrita-Dorina
Published: October 2024

Practitioners, educators, and researchers have shown interest in coaching as a human development intervention. As such, coaching has been under the scrutiny of evidencebased methods of development for a while. However, research and theorizing coaching are underway due to its foundational interdisciplinarity and even transdisciplinary. Coaching presents diverse approaches, usually influenced by multiple disciplines. In this direction, in the coaching literature, we can identify studies and classifications that pertain to psychology, organizational and management theories, philosophy, education, communication, and neuroscience, to name the most known. Predominantly a nondirective practice, coaching can also employ directive aspects. In this direction, we ask, what disciplines contributed to the body of knowledge in coaching, and what approaches evolved from these disciplines? The study explores these questions through a narrative literature review.

In an ever-evolving and more innovative world, it is important for institutions to take a leading position among other institutions in a constantly competitive market and in their search for adaptability in an innovative society. Research has shown that the development of leadership in an institution helps to implement changes more effectively, reduce stress at work, improve employee job satisfaction, employee willingness to improve, and reduce staff turnover. Leadership development in statutory institutions is one of the most important components of an effective institution. Their development requires continuous self-improvement, knowledge of the latest technologies, strategic and systemic thinking, innovative and critical approach and other elements. The general definition of leadership development is analysed in the scientific literature, but not enough attention is paid to the specific leadership development of statutory institutions, therefore, both theoretically and practically, this object of research is a rather rare phenomenon. Therefore, it is important to note that there is still no consensus among the authors, what are the factors that determine the effectiveness of a leader in an organization, what training tools are most appropriate for leadership development, what should be the theoretical model of leadership development and how it can be applied in a particular institution? Given that the needs listed above are not specifically defined, it is necessary to conduct a thorough and consistent theoretical analysis of leadership development in order to answer the essential question raised in the article - whether statutory institutions have a well-formed leadership development model, attention to the formation of goals and values, thinking, behaviour and attitude, what directions of leadership development exist at the theoretical and practical level in statutory institutions. In the context of sustainable development this research topic highlights the necessity to investigate managerial and legal peculiarities of leadership development in statutory institutions. Sustainable approach toward decision-making and social responsibility become crucial under the uncertainty of current management environment

Lately, organisations have been focusing on enhancing employee resilience due to turbulent, unpredictable changes caused by major crises, including the COVID-19 pandemic. Employee resilience refers to a key capability enabling employees to manage and adapt to continually changing circumstances, and finally to flourish at work. While there is an increasing body of the literature on antecedents of employee resilience while dealing with work-related challenges, there is still a lack of understanding what determines resilience in the COVID-19 context. Due to this, the paper aims to explore promoting factors for employee resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic using the systematic literature review. More specifically, the paper focuses on four aspects, namely, the construct conceptualisation, the factors for enhancing employee resilience, underpinning theories used in the research to ground the relationship between antecedents and employee resilience; and core practical implications. Regarding theoretical conceptualisation, the analysed studies treated employee resilience rather as capacity, which can be developed, than a stable trait. Further, the findings revealed four clusters of promoting factors to enhance employee resilience in the light of COVID-19, namely leadership, HRM practices, personal factors, and job resources. For explaining the relationship between constructs, broaden-and-build theory and conservation of resources theory (COR theory) were employed predominantly, also invoking other theories, such as person-in-situation theory, social identity theory, social cognitive theory, and job demand-resource theory. Finally, practical implications were mainly related to enabling organisational context encouraging policy makers and implementers to consider employee residence as a core resource for sustaining humans and organisations in the light of crisis.

Authors: Т.С. Воронова
Published: October 2024

В статье проводится обзор и анализ географии и условий жизни населения Москвы в первой трети XX века. В этот период население города значительно увеличилось за счет притока рабочей силы на промышленные предприятия и мигрантов, которые, как правило, заселяли окраинные части города. Условия жизни населения в центральных частях города и на окраинах имели значительный контраст. В 1930-х годах был разработан план реконструкции города с целью расширения территории города и улучшения условий жизни населения.

The article reviews and analyzes the geography and living conditions of Moscow population in the first third of the XX century. During this period, the population of the city increased significantly due to the influx of labor to industrial enterprises and migrants, who usually settled the outskirts of the city. The living conditions of the population contrasted significantly between the Central parts of the city and the outskirts. In the 1930s, a plan was developed for the reconstruction of the city in order to expand the territory of the city and improve the living conditions of the population.
« Somme toute rapidement » : analyse discursive du jugement de première instance dans l’affaire Simon Houle
Authors: Durocher Véronique
Published: October 2024

En juillet 2022, la décision de la Cour du Québec d’accorder une absolution conditionnelle dans un dossier d’agression sexuelle fait la manchette (R. c. Houle, 2022 QCCQ 4039). Des articles dénoncent cette peine (Hachey, 2022), alors que d’autres la défendent et s’inquiètent que les critiques nuisent à l’indépendance de l’appareil judiciaire (Thériault, 2022). À l’instar d’Ehrlich (2001) qui s’intéresse aux dynamiques discursives qui occurrent dans les procès en matière d’agression sexuelle, dans le cadre de cet article, je propose une analyse discursive du jugement R. c. Houle (2022 QCCQ 4039). J’accorderai une attention particulière à l’agentivité (Fillmore, 1967) lorsqu’elle est combinée à divers axiologiques (Kerbrat-Orecchioni, 2009). Puisque la peine a depuis été modifiée, je m’attarderai sur les conclusions du deuxième jugement (R. c. Houle, 2023 QCCA 99) afin de voir s’il est possible de tisser des liens entre les éléments linguistiques relevés dans mon analyse et les motifs derrière l’appel.

Aim: To assess the biomedical and health research outputs in EMR countries for 2004–2018 and their alignment with the regional strategic health priority areas identified by the WHO Regional Office for the Eastern Mediterranean. Methods: We searched and reviewed health-related articles indexed in PubMed and originating from EMR countries from 2004 to 2018 and used these as indicators of the country’s total biomedical research publication level. Data from a very large collection of over 300 000 articles were weighted to EMR’s contribution to the global research output. We used the mean and standard deviation to summarise the continuous variables and used frequencies and percentages to summarise the categorical variables. Results: Biomedical research publication in the EMR increased between 2004 and 2018. Five countries – Islamic Republic of Iran (43%), Egypt (14%), Saudi Arabia (11%), Pakistan (8%), and Tunisia (6%) – contributed 82% of all the publications, while the other countries contributed less than 4%. On average, EMR contributed 2.0% of the global biomedical research publications and 3.12 publications per 100 000 population for 2004–2018. Conclusion: Biomedical and health research publication increased unevenly across the EMR countries during the study period. Considering the complexity of the public health challenges in the region, there is a need for multidisciplinary and holistic approaches to health research to generate evidence for policy and to improve clinical and public health outcomes.

Background: There have been many challenges with clinical interventions and policy decisions to enhance the quality of life and care for patients facing life-threatening illnesses, thus highlighting the need for ethical considerations and guidelines for palliative care of terminally ill patients. Aim: To document the development of guidelines for addressing ethical concerns in the palliative care of terminally ill patients in Islamic Republic of Iran. Methods: The guidelines were developed in 4 phases: a scoping review of existing palliative care guidelines on PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and 2 Persian databases; focus group discussions to improve the drafts guidelines; online opinion poll of 32 experts, including ethicists, religious scholars, psychologists, palliative care specialists, and sociologists; and a national workshop to produce the final guidelines for government approval. Results: We published the “National palliative care ethical guidelines and regulations for terminally ill patients” in Islamic Republic of Iran after endorsement and approval by the High Council of Medical Ethics. The guidelines provides recommendations on 5 main aspects of palliative care: structure, composition and qualification of interdisciplinary teams; the roles and responsibilities of ethics advisors; general ethical principles governing palliative care practice; specific guidelines for psychological, spiritual and religious support; and protocols for ethical decision-making in end-of-life care. Conclusion: Considering the challenges associated with palliative care, it is necessary to provide ethical guidelines specific to the needs of terminally ill patients. These guidelines will serve as a steppingstone towards integrating palliative care into the national healthcare services in Islamic Republic of Iran.

Authors: Mubarak Sondos , Ashraf Mohamed
Published: October 2024

Background: Genetic data transfer within multicentre clinical trials conducted in low- and middle-income countries is common and must be communicated to study participants as part of ethical requirements. Aims: To analyse ethics practices in precision medicine research in low- and middle-income countries and make useful recommendations. Methods: We conducted a narrative review of published literature and existing ethics frameworks regarding underrepresentation of low- and middle-income countries in genomic databases, informed consent and data security discussions, as well as the potential for exploitation and limited access to benefits. Results: The findings highlight the need for increased diversity in research participation, robust ethical frameworks, and knowledge sharing between developed and developing countries. The findings show that strengthening national research ethics committees and fostering collaboration can help low- and middle-income countries in addressing unique challenges and harnessing the potential of precision medicine while ensuring ethical conduct and equitable access for all. Our review emphasizes the importance of ethical considerations in precision medicine research to ensure that its benefits reach all affected populations, promoting a more just and more equitable healthcare future. Conclusion: There is a need to ensure that research participants are accorded the rights, whether in the ownership of their samples or the right to know what type of genetic studies have been conducted on their samples. It is important to have binding agreements that will allow clinical trial participants to access drugs that proof effective based on the trials they participated in.

Could the Marriage of a Female Educator Be Grounds for Dismissal? Opinions of Educational Institution Administrators at Kyiv Educational District in the Early 20th Century
Authors: Drach Oksana
Published: October 2024

Gender inequality shapes the study of women’s professional activities in the modern era. The aim of the article is to elucidate the positions of educational institution administrators within the Kyiv educational district regarding the (in)advisability of female educators continuing to work after marriage, based on a survey of 1903 respondents. The investigation methods include content analysis and the achievements of gender studies. It was established that approximately a quarter of the administrators fully supported the ministry’s proposal to dismiss married female educators, while 32,4% cautioned against unconditional legislative action in this area, and 43,2% outright opposed its practical feasibility. Dominant markers of the image of the female educator included professional-functional, moral-ethical, family-marital, and economic aspects, which, depending on the administrators’ positions, acquired corresponding arguments and conclusions. The functional dichotomy of a married educator between professional duties and family obligations was perceived both by the majority of administrators and categorically rejected by some of them. The study justifies the change in attitude towards the potential reproductive capacity of female employees in official correspondence. It was revealed that the natural conditions of female educators, resulting from childbirth, no longer concerned a significant portion of educational institution administrators. Some have advocated for the necessity of social guarantees for female employees as future mothers. The perception of women’s emancipation is supported by the thesis that the qualification of female educators was determined not by their marital status, but by their individual qualities. This deepens the notion of equality of rights and responsibilities among individuals tasked with teaching, regardless of gender.
METHOD OF ASSESSING THE EFFICIENCY OF ENSURING INFORMATION SECURITY OF THE EDUCATIONAL INFORMATION SYSTEM
Authors: Ananchenko Oleksiy
Published: October 2024

In the modern conditions of the development of information technologies, the issue of ensuring information security is becoming more and more relevant. Information has become a key resource that affects the success and stability of the functioning of organizations, enterprises and institutions. Despite the fact that a significant part of efforts is aimed at creating and maintaining effective information protection systems, the issue of assessing their effectiveness remains relevant and important. The article examines a complex methodology for assessing the effectiveness of information security, which is based on the use of modern approaches and tools for analyzing the security of information systems. The proposed methodology covers various aspects of information security, including technical, organizational, procedural and human factors. The evaluation of efficiency is based on a complex analysis of multiple indicators, which allows to obtain an objective picture of the state of information security of the organization. The main part of the methodology is the development and application of mathematical models that allow quantitative assessment of the level of information security. Such models take into account various factors, including the level of technical protection of information systems, information security policy, the level of training of personnel, response to incidents and other important aspects. In addition, the article considers the issue of optimizing costs for ensuring information security by applying economic models and approaches. The proposed methodology includes several stages: determination of key security indicators, data collection and analysis, development of mathematical models for performance evaluation, interpretation of results and development of recommendations for increasing the level of protection. An important component of the methodology is a systematic approach that allows taking into account the interaction of various elements of the information security system and their impact on the overall level of protection. The practical application of the developed methodology makes it possible to timely identify vulnerabilities in the information security system, optimize the costs of its provision, increase the overall level of security of the organization and reduce the risks associated with information threats. The results of the study confirm the effectiveness of the proposed approach and demonstrate its applicability in various fields of activity, including business, public sector, education and other areas. Thus, the proposed methodology for assessing the effectiveness of information security is an important tool for organizations seeking to ensure reliable protection of their information. Its use contributes to increasing the level of information security, which, in turn, has a positive effect on the general level of functioning and stability of organizations in the face of modern challenges and threats.
