Published: September 2024

The early abandonment of the breastfeeding represents a problem of public health, therefore it is necessary to understand the risk factors and of constructing alternatives to foment it. The objective of the present work is to describe the level of psychomotor development to the 8 and 12 months of age, with respect to the duration of the breastfeeding 112 suckling babies participated that covered the requirements with inclusion. Two groups formed according to the time of predominant breastfeeding: early suspension (up to three months) and extended breastfeeding (four and more months). The results showed that 47% of the children of the first group, had a better development compared with those of the group of extended breastfeeding, who had greater prevalence of malnutrition. The data confirm the necessity to lead new studies that integrate other variables of interest whose contribution to the promotion of the exclusive breastfeeding until the six months and the development, are relevant.

Potencia en grupos: un constructo entre la autoeficacia y la motivación colectiva
Authors: Alcover de la Hera Carlos María , Gil Rodríguez Francisco
Published: September 2024

One of the main characteristics of group research carried out in the last two decades, stemming from the steady increase in the use of work teams as basic productive units of present-day organizations, has been the formulation of models and constructs that attempt to explain specific variables and processes that the groups in these contexts present.
This paper attempts to synthesize the main theoretical elements and existing empirical evidence about the construct labelled group potency, or a group's collective belief about its effectiveness, a product both of the assessment of resources available within (the organization) and the organizational conditions in which the groups perform their work, thereby creating a reliable criterion for measuring their effectiveness. Group potency presents certain elements that are common to other motivational constructs of an individual or collective nature, such as self-efficacy, collective efficacy, political efficacy, group aspirations, collective self-esteem and other models of collective motivation. However, it differs from them all in certain aspects and, especially inits consideration of the level of anaylsis of the group as a unit of performance. In spite of its relatively recent formulation, potency has a certain amount of empirical evidence relating to group performance, leadership styles and the use of new communication technologies in groups or the change of members in work teams; a short summary of the main results is presented. Finally, the paper discusses some of the implications and future lines of research relating power with other theoretical constructs and tendencies in research on work teams.
Un análisis longitudinal de la comunicación entre madres y adolescentes
Authors: PARRA JIMÉNEZ Águeda
Published: September 2024

Communication between mothers and adolescents is a fundamental aspect of the family dynamic that influences not only the development and well-being of the children but also that of their parents. Despite the initial years of adolescence being a difficult time for communication within families, no investigations have been carried out which deal until the changes in family communication throughout adolescence. This study has two objectives: on the one hand, to analyse the development of communication patterns throughout adolescence, taking into account the possible differences in the sex of adolescent and their parents; and on the other hand, to compare the different perspectives of mother and adolescents. For this, we evaluated the communication that a sample of 101 adolescents had with their parents at three different time points –initial, middle and late adolescence-. Equally, we interviewed the mothers at the same times. Among the most interesting results, stood out the fact that, in general, mothers and adolescents have a positive view of communication within the family, although mothers perceive there to be more frequent communication that their sons or daughters. On the other hand, both boys and girls say that they talk to their mother more than to their father. This and other results are discussed.
La relevancia de la predecibilidad de las experiencias vitales a lo largo de la vida
Authors: Clemente Carrión Antonio , Córdoba Iñesta Ana Isabel , Gimeno Collado Adelina
Published: September 2024

We analized the different influence from negative and positive life events, along life areas as physical, economical, laboural, personal, emotional and social, attending to the degree of predictability of the event ocurrence, in a sample composed by individuals from 14 to 65 years old. Categorization of events was based on age intervals indicative of the normativity. Results showed differences regarding predictability of the event and regarding the area of influence. We found higher significative emotional influence to the normative life events specifically for positive events. On the contrary, the non normative events got higher significant economical, laboural and social influence in the case of negative events. These results reflect the important transitions that events mean to the individual along his development. So, we conclude with the need of new researchs analysing the impact of the event accross different life areas as a complement of studies focused on the global impact of the event.
La autoeficacia y la motivación en el trabajo
Authors: De Quijano Santiago D. , Navarro Cid José
Published: September 2024

This paper centers in the contributions of self-efficacy to the analysis and evaluation of work motivation. It is argued thet the concept of self-efficacy succesfully replaces Vroom's concept of expectancy, and offers useful information for diagnose and intervention in motivation. Authors adapt Baessler and Schwarzer's Spanish adaptation of the Jerusalem and Schwarzer's Scale of General Self-efficacy, to work situations and integrate in a broader instrument to motivation diagnose. Validity and reliability data are presented and relations among subscales are considered.
Creencias y entrenamiento psicológico

Published: September 2024

Sometimes the psychological training is not entirely effective. If we work with an athlete in order to optimize the performance and we design a program of psychological training regardless of their limitations, it may not get the expected benefits. We present a working model in which the psychological training would go into the background and would be implemented only when the athletes’ beliefs that do not limit their performance. The work of the sport psychologist in most cases should focus on changing beliefs that limit performance and leave the psychological training for specific cases where such beliefs do not interfere. CITE AS:Amblar Burgos, E.

Dificultades para el fomento de una comprensión reflexiva en el ámbito de la disciplina psicológica
Authors: SAN MARTÍN MARTÍNEZ Concepción
Published: September 2024

In this work we analyze the difficulties for fomenting a reflective thought on psychology’s learning and teaching. There are important elements to approach this question: the paradigmatic diversity of psychological discipline, the tensions among different theoretical and practical perspectives, the role of ideologies, beliefs and attributions in the construction of the knowledge. We study the reasonings elaborated by a group of40 Psychology students. These reasonings were about the relations between culture and school failure. They were initially elaborated individually and later there was a joint debate. We demonstrate the difficulty for applying sociocultural reasonings to explain the school problematics. It seems that this fact is related to the potential contradictions created between own beliefs or opinions and the study materials provided. We believe that to be able to show these difficulties and  contradictions turns out to be fundamental to generate an authentic reflective process in learning.
Las relaciones entre padres e hijos después de las separaciones conflictivas
Authors: DE LA TORRE LASO Jesús
Published: September 2024

Separations and divorces are more are more frequent within familiar relationships in our society. Fir that reason, there are more conflictive separations. Sometimes, we do not pay attention to the repercussions that those conflictive separations may bring regarding the relations with the children after the separation. The following study analyses how the interparental conflict in familiar separations may modify the relations between parents and their children after the fracture, and how the conflict itself positions parents. As we will see, children are very often manipulated,conscious or unconsciously, for their own interest, without taking into account the children’s emotional development.

Authors: Shah Taimoor Ali , Naveed  , Hussain Ibrar
Published: September 2024

The main objective of the present study is to investigate the relationship between herding behavior (HB) and investor investment decision (ID). A questionnaire adapted from past research was used to gather data from 400 SME investors in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. The researcher manually collected data using a random sample approach, developing a cross-sectional survey questionnaire for the study. Using SPSS V-24, regression analysis showed that herding behaviour affects SME investor investment decisions, confirming the study's hypotheses and providing insight into Pakistani SME investors' investment decisions. The reliability statistics showed that all the variables are reliable. Herding behavior, overconfidence, and investment decisions are positively and significantly correlated. The regression model shows that herding behaviour affects investors' investing investment decisions. HB and ID are moderated by overconfidence. Moreover, this type of study is carried out utilizing cross-sectional data. This information can only reveal the full impact that an indicator variable has on a certain model variable at a given moment. Hence, it is recommended that longitudinal research be carried out instead in order to get more significant insights from the participants.
“Superiocracia” e o rol da ANS
Authors: Torres Daiane Mendes Pereira
Published: September 2024

O poder de protagonismo das Cortes Superiores na formulação de políticas públicas sobre direitos fundamentais não é exclusivo do Supremo Tribunal Federal. O Superior Tribunal de Justiça também possui em seu histórico a tentativa de formulação de políticas públicas que, no caso da discussão sobre a natureza do rol de procedimentos da ANS, foi frustrada. A ‘supremocracia’, termo destinado ao poder exercido pelo STF no julgamento de temas sensíveis de competência majoritária, pode ser aqui adaptada a ‘superiocracia’, quando o STJ também exerce seu poder de alterar as regras do jogo em determinada matéria de direito fundamental. Ocorre que, ao alterar as regras do jogo com relação à cobertura dos tratamentos médicos pelas operadoras de planos de saúde, a decisão do STJ foi revertida em evidente efeito backlash, com a edição da Lei 14.454/2022. A escolha do objeto se deve à minha participação ativa como representante da associação em prol das pessoas com paralisia cerebral do estado de Goiás, quando estive presente nas sessões de julgamento da 2ª Seção do STJ, bem como nos debates públicos das Comissões de Defesa da Pessoa com Deficiência e de Saúde, reuniões com deputados e senadores, com os Presidentes das casas legislativas, Artur Lira e Rodrigo Pacheco e o grande dia da votação da Lei 14.454/2022 pelo Senado, quando enviado o projeto de lei à sanção presidencial. Esse artigo se propõe a discutir os efeitos da ‘superiocracia’ no julgamento dos Embargos de Divergência no REsp 1.886.929 e analisar as consequências do julgamento contramajoritário, posteriormente superado pelo Congresso Nacional que assumiu seu papel de legislador e deu a última palavra sobre o tema.
Uma análise das técnicas de recuperação de áreas degradadas e sua viabilidade no semiárido brasileiro
Authors: Andrade Hugo Barros de , Souza Bartolomeu Israel de
Published: September 2024

A remoção de vegetação para formação de pasto, exploração agrícola ou obras de engenharia de fins gerais é o primeiro passo para um processo de desertificação, que não tem impactos apenas na flora, fauna e solo de uma área, mas envolve também aspectos econômicos, sociais e culturais, com perda ou redução dos recursos naturais, diminuição da produção e das condições de vida, e o consequente êxodo da população rural. No Brasil, há uma tendência de crescimento da aridez em especial no semiárido nordestino. A Caatinga, considerada o bioma mais biodiverso entre os biomas semiáridos do planeta, com apenas 1% de sua área coberta com conservação integral, tem tido parte de sua extensão transformada em áreas desertificadas devido às ações antrópicas. Esta pesquisa analisou técnicas que têm sido utilizadas em várias partes do mundo na recuperação de áreas degradadas, suas características, meios empregados e os resultados obtidos. O foco principal foi a viabilidade dessas técnicas no semiárido brasileiro, em especial na Caatinga. Os resultados mostraram que algumas se mostraram eficazes, mas de elevado custo e dependente de recursos hídricos que são escassos na região. Outras demandam poucos recursos financeiros e materiais, mas o período para apresentar resultados é prolongado. Há também as que se mostram promissoras, mas ainda possuem lacunas que merecem investigações ou até mesmo serem testadas no semiárido nordestino.

Os cuidadores de pacientes com demência enfrentam constantemente altos níveis de estresse no ambiente de trabalho, o que pode levar ao esgotamento profissional, conhecido como Síndrome de Burnout (SB). Essa síndrome resulta em diversos problemas de saúde física e mental, como estresse, raiva, ansiedade, fadiga, depressão e queda da imunidade, devido à sobrecarga contínua de trabalho e ao convívio diário com o sofrimento dos pacientes. O objetivo desta pesquisa é analisar evidências científicas sobre a SB entre cuidadores de pacientes com demência, buscando contribuir para o conhecimento do tema e melhorar a qualidade de vida desses profissionais. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, utilizando bases de dados como Pubmed/MEDLINE, BVS e SciELO, com descritores em português e inglês. Foram incluídos estudos publicados nos últimos dez anos, disponíveis em português e inglês. A análise das publicações revelou que a responsabilidade dos cuidadores aumenta com a gravidade da demência dos pacientes e que há uma maior prevalência de cuidadores do sexo feminino. A SB foi identificada como uma condição frequente entre esses cuidadores. No entanto, a pesquisa teve como limitação a quantidade reduzida de estudos sobre o tema, destacando a necessidade de mais investigações na área.
Uma análise do plano brasileiro de ações estratégicas 2011-2022 para o cuidado à obesidade

Published: September 2024

Objetivou-se realizar uma análise crítico-reflexivo de mapeamento e identificação das políticas orientadas ao controle da obesidade sob a ótica do Plano das Doenças Crônicas Não-Transmissíveis (2011-2022), levantando avanços, desafios e possibilidades. O levantamento bibliográfico deu-se de forma não sistemática, através de documentos oficiais que abordam ações diretas à obesidade relacionadas ao eixo estratégico III (denominado cuidado integral) do referido Plano. Resultados apontaram que, apesar da instituição de políticas e ações voltadas à obesidade no período, há desafios importantes para além de qualificação dos profissionais de saúde, a serem dirigidos na direção da proposição de ações reflexivas entre gestão e profissionais para um olhar mais acolhedor e mais responsivo à pessoa com obesidade no SUS. O investimento de recursos e seu monitoramento deve permear desde a recepção nos serviços até o atendimento pelas equipes de saúde de forma a avançar em propostas sustentáveis e cumprir a distribuição dos valores de forma equânime. Conclui-se que ainda que se reconheça o avanço nas publicações ministeriais, estas isoladamente não sustentaram o alcance das metas descritas no plano 2011-2022. A publicação do novo plano estratégico para 2021-2030, demanda sua execução de forma programada objetivando avançar para uma maior aproximação dos serviços na integralidade do cuidado às pessoas com doenças crônicas, nelas incluso a obesidade.

Published: September 2024

O período gestacional ocasiona modificações físicas, psicológicas e emocionais no organismo materno. As práticas integrativas e complementares (PICCs) são ferramentas que podem ser inseridas para ampliar o cuidado às gestantes, e o yoga é uma delas. Objetivo geral: analisar a repercussão da prática de yoga durante a gestação e trabalho de parto. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa de literatura, nas bases BVS, PubMed e Scopus. Foram selecionados 10 artigos, emergindo as categorias: 1) repercussões fisiológicas da prática do yoga na gestação e na autoeficácia do parto; 2) repercussões sociais e mentais da prática do yoga na gestação e parto. Quanto às repercussões fisiológicas o yoga tem o potencial de diminuir a incidência de complicações como hipertensão, pré eclâmpsia, parto prematuro, diminuição da fadiga, distúrbios do sono e desconfortos musculares. Melhora os índices de APGAR, aumenta a autoeficácia do parto, promovendo autoconfiança às mulheres, pois diminui a duração do trabalho de parto. Na saúde mental, a prática do yoga promove maior estabilidade emocional, diminuindo a ansiedade, dissipando o medo do parto ao preparar a mulher de forma física, mental e espiritual, através da respiração consciente e consciência corporal, aumentando a sensação de conforto e segurança. As práticas em grupo, possibilitam um espaço de troca que proporciona acolhimento mútuo. Conclui-se que o yoga é uma ferramenta acessível que através de seus inúmeros benefícios é capaz de promover maior bem estar às gestantes, tornando a vivência da gestação mais plena, sendo assim, uma prática que deve ser implementada nos cuidados habituais da gestação.
Instruments of Legal Protection of a Person Experiencing Domestic Violence in the Light of the Police Act
Authors: Gadomska-Radel Anna
Published: September 2024

Domestic violence is an important social problem which is constantly on the increase and therefore leads to the victimisation of victims. The perpetrator, by his actions, violates the basic rights of the victim, namely his dignity, freedom and personal inviolability. Therefore, there was a need both to improve the proceedings and to increase the effectiveness of the existing legal solutions for the protection of victims of domestic violence, as well as to introduce in the current legal order additional newprotection instruments aimed at the rapid isolation of the perpetrator of domestic violence from the victim, not only in the shared fl at, but also in another place. The instruments of legal protection of victims of domestic violence introduced in the Police Act in the form of an injunction and prohibition, a restraining order, a contact ban or an entry ban undoubtedly show more effective protection of the interests of the victims of domestic abuse and are the most effective way of stopping it. Immediate isolationof the victim of domestic violence from the violent person ensures the safety of the victim, improves his/her situation and contributes to the prevention of the problem.
The Use of Direct Coercive Measures and Related Problems in the Light of Police Surveys
Authors: Pietrek Grzegorz
Published: September 2024

The Constitution of the Republic of Poland guarantees civil rights and legitimizes state powers to protect the same. Consequently, the state has the authority to interfere in the personal sphere of its citizens based on the rights specifi ed in the regulations. This responsibility is closely tied to its role in ensuring social, economic, and political security. To properly execute this goal, specifi c institutions have been established and granted certain rights and actions. One of these institutions is the Police, which has been authorized to use direct coercive measures to maintain public safety and order. The aim of the research is to describe how police offi cers use direct coercive measures and to identify any consequences they face in connection with their direct application. The following question was adopted as the research problem: How do police offi cers perceive the use of direct coercive measures in the context of increased social control of their use? To achieve the research aim and solve the research problem, various theoretical research methods were applied, including document analysis, analysis of legal acts, abstracting, synthesis, comparison, inference, and an empirical method, specifi cally, a diagnostic survey using an online survey questionnaire.

The God of Earthquakes: Several Hypotheses Related to One Dedicatory Inscription to Poseidon Asphaleios From Mesambria on Pontus
Authors: Gyuzelev Martin
Published: September 2024

This article aims to present to the scientific community a dedicative inscription to the God Poseidon in his capacity as Asphaleios -Securer, embedded in one of the churches in Nessebar (Bulgaria)–St. Paraskeva Church. The inscription was found in 2013 during conservation-restoration works in the church. It is published for the first time here, and comments have been made on its connection with earthquakes and seaquakes in Southeastern Europe during so-called Hellenistic Period. The inscription is in the Doric dialect in four lines built in as a spolium on a recess above the altar apse on the church’s southern side in an upside-down position. Based on specific features of palaeography and orthography of the letters, the suggested dating is the second half of the 3rd and the beginning of the 2nd century BC. The epithet of the god in this inscription–Asphaleios is attested in other Dorian poleis; however, here, it cannot be connected with a temple to Poseidon. It was probably brought to Mesambria on Pontus from somewhere else; as exemplified with similar inscriptions originating from Kallatis (present-day Mangalia, Romania) and Dionysopolis (present-day Balchik, Bulgaria). The epiklesis in the mentioned inscriptions hints at the consequences of the seismic activity during the period comprising roughly the second quarter to the middle of the 3rd century BC that swept across Southeastern Europe and caused severe damage. Therefore, this inscription is another example of Poseidon being worshipped in his capacity of Securer and Earth-Stayer and being recognized as a symbol of hope for ancient people.

Batı Anadolu’da bulunan ve Aydın ilinin Sultanhisar ilçesi yakınında yer alan Nysa antik kenti kazı çalışmalarında ele geçen cam buluntuların kimyasal içeriklerinin belirlenmesi amacıyla arkeometrik incelemeler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Anadolu’da cam üretimi ve teknolojisi ile ilgili çalışmalar oldukça sınırlıdır. Anadolu coğrafyasında bulunan cam örneklerin tarihçesi, durumu, üretim teknolojisi ve kimyasal kompozisyonunun belirlenebilmesi için örneklerin çeşitli analitik yöntem ve teknikler kullanılarak bilimsel olarak incelenmesi gereklidir. Bu çalışmada, cam buluntuların öncelikle fiziksel durumları incelenmiş, kalınlıkları belirlenmiş, renkleri kromametrik olarak tanımlanmış ve fotoğraflanarak belgelenmiştir. Örnekler, polarize edilmiş enerji dağılımlı X-ışını spektrometresi (PED-XRF) ve enerji dağılımlı X- ışını taramalı elektron mikroskobu (SEM-EDX) kullanılarak incelenmiştir. Böylece örneklerin yapı ve kimyasal kompozisyonları tanımlanmıştır. Cam örneklerin üretim teknolojileri hakkında bilgiler için SEM ile dokuz ayrı cam örnek yüzeyinden farklı büyüklüklerde görüntüler elde edilmiştir. Bu görüntülerden cam örneklerin serbest üfleme, silindir üfleme ya da döküm teknikleri ile üretildiği belirlenmiştir. Kimyasal içerikleri olarak her iki analizde de düşük oranda SiO2 belirlenmesine rağmen camların tipik bir silis-soda-kireç camı olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Aynı zamanda ergitici madde olarak sodaca zengin minerallerin (natron, sodyum karbonat, vb.) kullanıldığı saptanmış ve camların üretiminde aynı hammaddenin kullanılmış olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca, analiz edilen cam örneklerine renk veren maddenin Fe2+ ve Cu2+ iyonları olduğu saptanmıştır.

Sicurezza energetica europea tra sovranità e solidarietà
Authors: Quadri Susanna
Published: September 2024

Il concetto di sicurezza energetica, di natura essenzialmente tecnica, riveste una posizione strategica nel diritto internazionale e dell’Unione europea. Poter contare sulla sicurezza energetica consente di governare in modo indipendente: per tali ragioni, la sovranità nel settore energetico appartiene agli Stati, anche nell’ambito del TFUE. Peraltro, per esigenze di solidarietà derivanti comunque dalle scelte nazionali, gli Stati membri hanno istituito un meccanismo che persegue la sicurezza energetica in caso di crisi. Il piano REPowerEU e la piattaforma energetica dell’UE favoriscono l’aggregazione della domanda di energia, al fine di scongiurare gap energetici negli Stati membri. Tale meccanismo di solidarietà rende le norme giuridiche particolarmente efficaci al fine del perseguimento della sicurezza e della riduzione della povertà energetica.

Quello della sovranità, concetto spesso abusato nel diritto internazionale ma anche nella pratica del linguaggio politico interno, è il concetto fondamentale intorno al quale ruota l’intero diritto internazionale. L’analisi delle pagine che seguono porta a concludere che, posta la profonda differenza tra i concetti di soggetto (sovrano) e stato, la sovranità è l’ambito di autonomia e di possibilità di azione del soggetto così come risultante in ogni momento dal confronto dialettico tra le pretese dei soggetti stessi così come ricostruita attraverso l’analisi della situazione attuale della Comunità internazionale: nell’ambito e nello spazio che ogni soggetto si riserva e che riesca a mantenere, finché ci riesca, nel confronto continuo con tutti gli altri soggetti di diritto internazionale, stati e non e che, pertanto, gli viene riconosciuto dalla Comunità internazionale, come suo ambito legittimo di competenza: in questo senso definito nella anarchia della Comunità internazionale.
Il sacrificio reciproco di sovranità e l’efficacia delle direttive: nuovi limiti?
Authors: Cafari Panico Ruggiero
Published: September 2024

La questione dell’efficacia orizzontale delle direttive, comunemente negata, è stata oggetto della recente sentenza della Corte di giustizia nel caso Gabel Industria Tessile e Canavesi. In essa la Corte ha stabilito che i giudici nazionali sono liberi di attribuire alle direttive dotate di efficacia diretta anche effetti tra i privati quando il loro ordinamento lo consenta. Lo scritto esamina le conseguenze di tale orientamento in relazione alla giurisprudenza di merito e di legittimità formatasi in Italia in ambito tributario, per concludere che tali effetti orizzontali sono già presenti nell’ordinamento italiano.

Enterprises and companies are also impacted by air pollution in addition to people and the environment. Air pollution can result in decreased output and sharp rises in healthcare costs. Publicly traded firms' profitability and stock prices are significantly impacted by air pollution. Dividend yield, which has significant importance to investors, is a critical component of stock market growth. The relationship between air pollution and dividend yield can give investors relevant information on the financial success of businesses. Pakistan has been chosen as a case study for research on how air pollution affects dividend yield. In order to better understand the possible effects of air pollution on financial performance in emerging nations, it is fascinating to look at Pakistan, which has a booming economy and a rising stock market. Pakistan stock exchange (PSX) and S&P 500 stock exchanges' dividend yields are compared to see how air pollution affects them. In their respective regions, they are two of the most well-known and recognized stock market indices. This study employed regression analysis to look at the relationship between dividend yield and air pollution. Finding relationships between the variables and examining how air pollution impacts dividend yield were the two goals of the investigation. The results of the investigation depict that dividend yield is significantly impacted by air pollution.

The COVID-19 pandemic had profound impacts on the global economy, initially triggering a severe economic downturn due to widespread lockdowns, this outbreak generated various economic shocks, a major one being the oil price crash. A brief understanding of how this pandemic is affecting the financial markets, empirical analysis is done on three financial markets. Three stock exchange markets are selected from emerging markets in South Asia (Pakistan, China, and India). The world crude oil market is selected as a reference, to how it transmits volatility to South Asian markets during the COVID-19 period. We employ a bivariate BEKK-GARCH model for analyzing the volatility spillover from November 19, 2019, to March 31, 2021. All markets show negative coefficients with the oil market, indicating that the previous day’s shocks in oil prices reduce today's stock market volatility, with significant values for India and Pakistan.  China has a negative coefficient while the rest of the two markets show a positive and significant coefficient means past volatilities in the stock market decrease today’s oil market volatility, likely indicating a reactive or adaptive market behavior to stock volatility. Generally, oil price changes have a significant impact on these markets, with both immediate effects (via ARCH terms) and persistent effects (via GARCH terms). The study's findings offer valuable insights for policymakers, as they help identify the direction of spillovers among interconnected economies. Additionally, portfolio investors can use this information to effectively allocate weights to different asset classes when making investment decisions.

The purpose of this research is to determine the effects of authentic leadership on innovative work behavior (IWB) in the context of Pakistan’s public sector organizations, with the mediating effect of psychological capital and moderation by organizational unfairness. This study adopted a quantitative research design and questionnaires were used to collect data from 314 respondents, and the data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) technique. The outcomes show that the degree of authentic leadership has a positive impact on the level of IWB. As in the case of psychological capital, it is effective in mediating this relationship, thus underlining the significance of leaders supporting self-efficacy, hope, resilience, and optimism among the workforce to enhance innovation. Furthermore, the organizational unfairness to a great extent moderates the relationship between authentic leadership and IWB; the role of the right environment in encouraging employees’ innovation. This research fills the gap in the literature by describing and explaining authentic leadership and innovation in the context of the public sector organizations. The managerial implications stress the significance of the leadership development initiatives aimed at strengthening the authentic leadership in organizations and creating the supportive environment that would help improve creativity and organizational performance.

Small ruminants such as sheep and goats play important role in the livestock subsector of India. The present study was conducted to ascertain the metabolic growth indicators during different stages of growth in Bannur female sheep maintained at Bandur Breeding Farm, Danagur Village, Malavalli Taluk, Mandya District. Twenty four female sheep divided into four groups with six animals in each group such as Group I (>3 to 5 months), Group II (>5 to 7 months), Group III (>7 to 9 months) and Group IV (>9 to 11 months) were utilized in the present study. The blood samples were collected from jugular vein at fortnightly intervals for two months (15th, 30th, 45th and 60th day). Each time about 5 to 8 ml of blood was collected in clot activated vacutainer. A drop of blood during collection was immediately processed for estimation of blood glucose and β- hydroxybutyrate (BHB). Serum samples were immediately processed for estimation of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and creatine kinase (CK) activity and for metabolic indicators such as serum total protein.  It was found that the blood glucose, serum total protein, serum total cholesterol and potassium levels were increased significantly in advanced stages of age compared to early stage of growth. However, the BHB levels were constant in different age groups, calcium and phosphorus levels did not differ with respect to age. The ALP and CK activity reduced as the age advanced. It was concluded that the levels of blood glucose, BHB, potassium, ALP, CK and body weight gain could be used as physiological indicators of growth in Bannur female sheep to ascertain growth and the same can be extrapolated to other breeds of sheep.
Child Raising in African Culture, a Blight on Human Dignity?
Authors: Nebeife Cassandra Ifeoma
Published: September 2024

Trauma of migration has been seen as not only peculiar to African immigrants in the West. This is because Africans, on returning to their roots also experience other dimensions of trauma, meted and shielded by the custodians of culture all in the name of ‘Communal Child Raising’ manifest in culture shock, stereotyping, abuse and general disillusionment. Using the theory of Adultism, this paper examines how Sade Adeniran; a member of the Yoruba community interrogates the popular Yoruba adage- “it takes a village to raise a child”. This paper unravels the datum that this adage has been adversely wielded by African parents and guardians to mentally, financially, physically and emotionally abuse Africans under their care. Imagine This as a literary work, captures the injustice on the self image, identity and dignity which our African culture in this regard impose on affected young population. The theory of Adultism foregrounds the seeming undiscussed issue of oppression meted to children by adults who take advantage of the position of authority which they occupy in the lives of these young people. When custodians of societal values neglect their responsibility of building the human dignity in their wards via a more humane culture of child raising, it engenders a dysfunctional society with problems which eventually lead to social change. This paper there submits that education and respect for the human self, regardless of the age involved remain panaceas for sustainability of human dignity grounded in our Africaness.
