HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF SHRM: BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF SHRM BASED ON WEB OF SCIENCE
Authors: GÃ¼rol Yonca Deniz , Sarp PÄ±nar , Atila Muhammet , Yeke SelÃ§uk , Binici Ceylan Merve
Published: January 2024

In the study, 2,220 articles related to the concept of Strategic Human Resources Management (SHRM) published in the period of 1980-2020 and included in the SCI, SSCI and ESCI citation indexes were examined bibliometrically on the Web of Science database usingthe VOSviewer software. The purpose of the study is to essentially evaluate the studies conducted with the concept of SHRM and provide foresight for future studies. In this context, in order to evaluate the publications in the study, the changes in the number of publications in the publication volume in the field were discussed, the developments in the field, the trends in the subject headings, the countries and institutions that make the strongest contribution to the literature, the field and the most cited ones in the field were examined. The results indicated that the number of studies on the concept of strategic human resources increased in the 2000s. The acceleration in the number of studies is noteworthy, especially in 2015 and after. It is seen that frequently used keywords in the field of strategic human resources are strategy, strategic management, human resource, and performance. Other keywords with high connection strength are listed as human capital, knowledge management, strategic management, dynamic capabilities, high-performance work system and HR development. It is recommended that future researchers should carry out empirical and conceptual studies on the reasons for the differences in the number of studies published by countries in the field of SHRM and their level of interest in the field.
IMPACT OF PRODUCTIVITY, CORRUPTION, AND GROWTH ON DEBT: EVIDENCE FROM PANEL DATA ANALYSIS
Authors: Vija Kumaran Vikniswari , Rajamoorthy Yogambigai
Published: January 2024

In a number of nations, the economic uncertainty that began several years ago has manifested its negative effects, and the COVID-19 crisis has exacerbated the situation. Many nations struggle to finance their social and economic public healthcare due to limited resources and fiscal space. In order to save their economies, this has pushed them towards high levels of debt. This study’s objective is to examine the effect of government debt on productivity, GDP growth, tax revenue, and corruption. Panel data analysis was used to identify the significant factors that affect government debt in 16 Western European countries based on their severe subprime crisis in 2008 and sovereign debt in 2009, which fall between the timeframes of this study. The findings revealed that government debt impacts productivity, GDP growth, and corruption. As a result, effective productivity control is critical when dealing with government debt. Efforts to develop world-class human capital, equipped with sophisticated skills or talent management, in order to increase a sector’s income and competitiveness should be aligned with efficient and effective public spending. Public projects must be thoroughly evaluated and monitored in terms of feasibility, economic and social returns. As a consequence, this study suggests that a profound and comprehensive reformation across various sectors in the country is required, particularly through productivity, growth, and corruption, in order to control a country’s debt.
Fragile: Designs for Certain Uncertainty
Authors: Gagnon Connor
Published: January 2024

Architecture developed directly as a solution to climate change is too often imagined as an apolitical, technologically driven project. Lacking a pathway towards scaling outcomes, it struggles to make meaningful impacts beyond the level of the individual building. By examining theories of resilience that challenge conventional perspectives on the way ecosystems operate and applying those lessons in an architectural context the need for a connective tissue is identified, that bridges the large problems that need to be addressed, but also functions at the scale where architects normally work. Through research into the architectural discourse concerned with dissolving boundaries of defined programming into spatial gradients this thesis proposes that the missing connective tissue is a form of environmental infrastructure concerned with mediating our relationship with the climate at a scale where real impact can be achieved. The task then is to come up with new ways to integrate architecture into this environmental infrastructure such that the collective capacity of architecture can be leveraged as an attractor of people. In so doing it becomes possible to identify an alternative capacity of architecture to combat climate change by bringing people and their activities into a more intimate relationship with the non-human environment and thus foster a sense of stewardship.
Winter Climate Variability, De-Icing Salt and Streetside Tree Vitality
Authors: Miron Justin , Millward Andrew , Vaziriyeganeh Maryamsadat , Zwiazek Janusz J. , Urban James
Published: January 2024

De-icing salts are applied to roads and walking surfaces to mitigate winter hazards resulting from ice, snow and freezing rain. The vitality of streetside trees, especially those growing in densely built urban areas, is compromised by repeated exposure to de-icing salts. Such trees already experience unfavorable establishment and growing conditions resulting from poor soil quality, inadequate moisture, physical abuse and air pollution−exposure to de-icing salt aggravates these challenges and can be an essential catalyst in tree mortality. Climate change is creating less predictable weather and, in some cases amplifying the intensity of winter storms. Cities that undertake snow and ice management may adopt modified approaches, and those less familiar with this practice may require its episodic adoption. We identify three pathways by which future climate warming may, counterintuitively, result in cities increasing their use of de-icing salt: (a) Warming winter temperatures in cities that were historically too cold to make effective use of sodium chloride (NaCl) for de-icing; (b) cities where daily high temperatures in winter may increase the frequency of freeze-thaw cycles; and, (c) cities in North America and Eurasia that may experience more severe winter weather resulting from greater variability in the circumpolar vortex (CPV). To offset potential damage to existing urban streetside trees and to ensure adequate soil and growing conditions for future trees, there is an immediate need for city foresters to collaborate with traffic safety and public works departments. We present a toolbox of approaches that can facilitate synchronized management efforts, including identifying the location of existing vulnerable trees and re-envisioning future infrastructure that would mitigate tree exposure to de-icing salts. At the same time, we call for the prioritization of research that investigates new potential pathways along which climate change may contribute to the novel adoption of de-icing salts.

В статті розглядається проблема уточнення дефініцій щодо визначення складових у системах військової освіти та професійної військової освіти в існуючій законодавчій базі. Проаналізовано зміни, що внесено останнім часом до деяких законів України стосовно військової освіти. З’ясовано, що в існуючих редакціях Законів України “Про освіту” та “Про основи національного спротиву” у визначеннях складових системи військової освіти є певні розбіжності. З урахуванням того, що система військової освіти побудована на засадах її інтеграції до загальної системи освіти України, є невід’ємною складовою та базується на засадах єдиної законодавчої бази, обґрунтовано актуальність додаткового внесення відповідних змін до існуючої редакцій Закону України “Про освіту”. В основу поділу на складові системи військової освіти пропонується покласти критерій щодо розподілу громадян України на певні групи у залежності від рівня їх підготовки до оборони держави.

Uma consequência pós-extração dentária é a reabsorção do osso alveolar, principalmente da tábua óssea vestibular, o que leva à redução na altura e largura óssea do rebordo alveolar. Isso afeta a reabilitação do ponto de vista estético, o que representa um grande desafio para a implantodontia. Diversas técnicas foram desenvolvidas com o objetivo de conter essa reabsorção, como o implante imediato, enxertos ósseos e o controle do reparo tecidual através de membranas. Mas, uma alternativa mais recente denominada Técnica Socket Shield (TSS) tem demonstrado resultados mais promissores, em especial, a capacidade única de preservar a tábua óssea vestibular, o que otimiza o aspecto estético da reabilitação. Essa técnica consiste em manter um fragmento do terço vestibular da raiz no alvéolo, atuando como um “escudo” para o implante. O objetivo deste trabalho é descrever um relato de caso clínico com o uso da TSS, associada à instalação do implante na área referente à UD 21, de um paciente com indicação de exodontia desta unidade e reabilitação com implante devido à fratura no terço médio do dente. Após 7 meses, a reabilitação definitiva foi realizada e com um total de 10 meses de proservação, nenhuma alteração que indicasse fracasso funcional ou estético foi observada. Os resultados registrados por este caso demonstram o potencial da TSS; entretanto, estudos de maior tempo de proservação, devem ser realizados, para que se possa comprovar de fato a eficácia desta técnica.

Published: January 2024

COVID-19, initially identified in China, is a coronavirus causing systemic damage with a high potential for morbidity and mortality. Given the pandemic's magnitude, societal changes are suggested, as observed in other historical catastrophes, particularly impacting health and birth rates. Thus, the objective of this study was to analyze birth rates in Fortaleza during the pandemic through socio-epidemiological profiles of women and pregnant individuals. It is an observational, retrospective, descriptive, quantitative study conducted with data from 2016 to 2021 obtained from Fortaleza's SINASC. Between 2016 and 2019, a significant reduction (p<0.001) in the monthly average of live births in Fortaleza was observed compared to 2020 and 2021. Additionally, the group of neighborhoods classified with Very Low HDI was the only one that showed a significant increase in the average (p=0.02). The decrease in birth rates was consistent across all age groups, with a higher prevalence of children born to women with 8-11 years of education. Post-pandemic, there was a decline among younger women and an increase among those aged 35 to 44. Regarding prenatal visits, there was an absolute reduction, corresponding to the overall decrease in the number of births. Although many theories could explain the factors contributing to this outcome, such as increased symptoms of anxiety and depression, economic impact, and unemployment, new studies are necessary to elucidate the causes and consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic on a population's birth rate.

A avaliação da composição corporal desempenha um papel crucial no processo de cuidado nutricional e em saúde e conta com diversas técnicas. O uso da ultrassonografia (US) modo A, particularmente com o equipamento BodyMetrix BX-2000, tornou-se notório nos últimos anos por sua acessibilidade e portabilidade. Entretanto, ainda são poucos os estudos que descrevem adequadamente seu uso. Sendo assim, este estudo busca revisar a literatura disponível sobre a validação o US portátil modo A em diferentes contextos e populações. Comparando o US portátil modo A com outros métodos de avaliação da composição corporal, foram observadas na literatura variações na precisão, especialmente entre homens e mulheres. Embora o equipamento pareça válido para estimar o percentual de gordura corporal, sua acurácia varia em relação aos métodos de referência, e a necessidade de padronização é destacada devido a diferentes técnicas e locais de medição. Conclui-se então que é importante a realização de mais pesquisas para padronização nos procedimentos de medição, incluindo equações específicas para estimar composição corporal com os dados obtidos.

According to WHO (2020) around 10% of pregnant women experience depression and this condition is higher in developing countries, reaching 15.6% during pregnancy and 19.8% after childbirth. Anxiety experienced during pregnancy can have negative consequences for both the mother and the fetus. This unfavorable impact is not only during pregnancy but can also affect the process of childbirth and lactation. There are various kinds of exercise to reduce anxiety, one of which is gymnastics. One type of exercise that is effective for reducing anxiety is tera exercise. Terra gymnastics is a breathing exercise combined with movement and adopted from Tai Chi exercises. All movements in tera exercise can reduce anxiety, stress, and reduce levels of depression. Currently researchers are doing it on pregnant women aiming to control the level of anxiety facing the birth process using movements that are safe for pregnant women, especially breathing technique exercises. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of tera exercise on reducing the anxiety level of pregnant women facing childbirth. The research method used is a true experiment with a pretest-posttest approach without a control group design. The research respondents used a purposive sampling technique by means of random sampling, totaling 30 pregnant women as respondents in the working area of the Batujajar Health Center. Data analysis using univariate and bivariate with Marginal homogeneity test.

Mothers in the postpartum phase need to adapt to the psychological changes that occur after childbirth. The phase of adaptation, called letting go is crucial for mothers to be able to embrace their new role. Failure to adapt to these psychological changes can lead to disorders such as depression, which can occur in 3.5% to 63.3% of cases. To address this issue, a study was conducted to analyze the effectiveness of online classes for expectant mothers in achieving psychological adaptation (letting go) during the postpartum period. The research was designed as a quasi-experimental study. The sample population consisted of all third-trimester primigravida pregnant mothers in Paiton Village, Probolinggo, totaling 30 mothers. The research sampling technique was total sampling. The data was analyzed using the chi-square statistical test (α=0.05). The results showed that 50% of the 30 respondents who were given an online class for prospective mothers were able to achieve psychological adaptation of letting go within 10 days. The analysis showed that the online class for prospective mothers had a significant effect on the timing of achieving psychological adaptation with p value <0.05. The study concluded that online classes for expectant mothers can be effective in helping mothers adapt to their new role more quickly. This research contributes to knowledge enhancement techniques for postpartum mothers in dealing with psychological adaptation.

Anaemia, a common condition during pregnancy, has been found to be associated with various factors such as physiological changes occurring during pregnancy, gestational fetal age and medical history of the pregnant woman. The current study was conducted to investigate the potential impact of consuming dates on the elevation of haemoglobin levels in pregnant women undergoing treatment at the Barokah Pajang Clinic. Employing an experimental design with pretest and posttest measurements using a control group, the study followed a quantitative approach. The sample collection method used was non-probability sampling, specifically sequential sample collection. The collected data was analyzed using the independent sample t-test, which revealed that pregnant women with anaemia who consumed dates experienced a statistically significant increase in haemoglobin levels at the Barokah Pajang Clinic. The findings suggest that taking iron supplements and consuming seven dates on an empty stomach for a week can help improve haemoglobin levels among pregnant women with anaemia. The P-value of 0.049 indicates the statistical significance of the results. This study highlights the potential benefits of a dietary intervention for pregnant women with anaemia, and it is recommended that they follow this regimen to ensure healthy pregnancies.

Cerebral Perfusion Pressure and Behavior Monitoring in Freely Moving Rats
Authors: KOZLER P , MAREŠOVÁ D , HRACHOVINA M , POKORNÝ J
Published: January 2024

Cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) is the net pressure gradient that drives oxygen delivery to cerebral tissue. It is the difference between the mean arterial pressure (MAP) and the intracranial pressure (ICP). As CPP is a calculated value, MAP and ICP must be measured simultaneously. In research models, anesthetized and acute monitoring is incapable of providing a realistic picture of the relationship between ICP and MAP under physiological and/or pathophysiological conditions. For long-term monitoring of both pressures, the principle of telemetry can be used. The aim of this study was to map changes in CPP and spontaneous behavior using continuous pressure monitoring and video recording for 7 days under physiological conditions (group C – 8 intact rats) and under altered brain microenvironment induced by brain edema (group WI – 8 rats after water intoxication) and neuroprotection with methylprednisolone – MP (group WI+MP – 8 rats with MP 100 mg/kg b.w. applicated intraperitoneally during WI). The mean CPP values in all three groups were in the range of 40-60 mm Hg. For each group of rats, the percentage of time that the rats spent during the 7 days in movement pattern A (standard movement stereotype) or B (atypical movement) was defined. Even at very low CPP values, the standard movement stereotype (A) clearly dominated over the atypical movement (B) in all rats. There was no significant difference between control and experimental groups. Chronic CPP values with correlated behavioral type may possibly answer the question of whether there is a specific, universal, optimal CPP at all.

Published: January 2024

Insect vitellogenins are an intriguing class of complex proteins. They primarily serve as a source of energy for the developing embryo in insect eggs. Vitellogenesis is a complex hormonally and neurally controlled process that command synthesis of vitellogenin molecules and ensures their transport from the female fat bodies or ovarial cells into eggs. The representatives of all insect hormones such as juvenile hormones, ecdysteroids, and neurohormones participate in vitellogenesis, but juvenile hormones (most insect species) and ecdysteroids (mostly Diptera) play the most important roles in the process. Strikingly, not only insect females, but also males have been reported to synthesize vitellogenins indicating their further utility in the insect body. Indeed, it has recently been found that vitellogenins perform a variety of biological functions in the insect body. They participate in defense reactions against entomopathogens such as nematodes, fungi, and bacteria, as well as against venoms such as the honeybee Apis mellifera venom. Interestingly, vitellogenins are also present in the venom of the honeybee itself, albeit their exact role is unknown; they most likely increase the efficacy of the venom in the victim's body. Within the bee's body vitellogenins contribute to the lifespan regulation as anti-aging factor acting under tight social interactions and hormonal control. The current minireview covers all of these functions of vitellogenins and portrays them as biologically active substances that play a variety of significant roles in both insect females and males, and not only acting as passive energy sources for developing embryo.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has revolutionized our ability to non-invasively study the brain's structural and functional properties. However, detecting myelin, a crucial component of white matter, remains challenging due to its indirect visibility on conventional MRI scans. Myelin plays a vital role in neural signal transmission and is associated with various neurological conditions. Understanding myelin distribution and content is crucial for insights into brain development, aging, and neurological disorders. Although specialized MRI sequences can estimate myelin content, these are time-consuming. Also, many patients sent to specialized neurological centers have an MRI of the brain already scanned. In this study, we focused on techniques utilizing standard MRI T1-weighted (T1w) and T2 weighted (T2w) sequences commonly used in brain imaging protocols. We evaluated the applicability of the T1w/T2w ratio in assessing myelin content by comparing it to quantitative T1 mapping (qT1). Our study included 1 healthy adult control and 7 neurologic patients (comprising both pediatric and adult populations) with epilepsy originating from focal epileptogenic lesions visible on MRI structural scans. Following image acquisition on a 3T Siemens Vida scanner, datasets were co registered, and segmented into anatomical regions using the Fastsurfer toolbox, and T1w/T2w ratio maps were calculated in Matlab software. We further assessed interhemispheric differences in volumes of individual structures, their signal intensity, and the correlation of the T1w/T2w ratio to qT1. Our data demonstrate that in situations where a dedicated myelin-sensing sequence such as qT1 is not available, the T1w/T2w ratio provides significantly better information than T1w alone. By providing indirect information about myelin content, this technique offers a valuable tool for understanding the neurobiology of myelin-related conditions using basic brain scans.

Published: January 2024

The level of cardiorespiratory capacity, as measured by maximum VO2max oxygen consumption, is a significant factor related to the risk of metabolic syndrome, coronary heart disease and other health disorders. A total cohort of 2901 examinations was divided into 5 groups according to the nature of physical activity: group A – endurance athletes, group B – team sports players, group C – other competitive athletes, group D – recreational leisure-time athletes, group E – people with health problems. Cardiorespiratory fitness was assessed according to the VO2max and METmax parameters found in the stress test on a bicycle ergometer. A gradually increased load until exhaustion was used. While in groups A to D cases that would be classified as NYHA 1 (METmax lower than 9) were quite rare (10 cases out of 2777, i.e. 0.3 %), in groups E it was 20 % in men (16 cases out of 82) and 52 % in women (23 cases out of 44) of those examined. Accordingly, fitness age in groups A, B and C generally corresponded to a lower age than the calendar age, in groups E of both men and women, fitness age was significantly higher compared to the calendar age. High fitness age represents a significant risk of morbidity in relation to non-communicable diseases and probably also a significant limitation of their quality of life in later age.

Based on the concept of static refraction, myopia is a condition in which parallel rays entering the eyeball are refracted by the refractive media in front of the retina. As a result, objects that are far from the eyeball do not appear clearly in the patient's vision. The inability of a person to see distant objects clearly can occur, among others, due to heredity, work and reading habits or position, work environment, etc. To overcome refractive errors in myopia sufferers, minus spherical correction lenses can be given in front of the patient's eyes, so that the light that falls in front of the retina can be shifted and focused right on the retina. The purpose of this study, the authors want to explain the existence of a mutually influencing relationship between near work vision and close reading habits, as well as room lighting used by people with myopia. This research was conducted using a quantitative research method with a sampling technique "systematic random sampling". The results of this study found that myopic refractive errors occupied the highest percentage, namely 65.5%, that there was a mutually influencing relationship between work vision and close reading habits, as well as room lighting used by people with myopia

End-stage kidney disease requires long-term management and renal replacement therapy such as hemodialysis (HD), peritoneal dialysis, or transplantation. Patients with chronic kidney disease who undergo regular hemodialysis therapy can increase life expectancy; however, hemodialysis therapies can cause stressors leading to psychological problems. This research aims to determine the difference in anxiety levels between chewing gum and lemon inhalation aromatherapy in hemodialysis patients. Furthermore, this research uses a quantitative quasi-experiment research approach with a two-group pre-posttest design, while a purposive sampling technique employs 32 samples at the Hemodialysis Unit of Permata Medika Hospital, Semarang. In addition, data analysis uses the Wilcoxon signed test and the Mann-Whitney test. The research was conducted in July 2023. The research results show that the Wilcoxon test p-value for both interventions was 0.001, and the Mann-Whitney test p-value was 0.494. It can be concluded that there was no difference in anxiety levels between chewing gum and lemon inhalation aromatherapy in hemodialysis patients. The use of non-pharmacological techniques of chewing gum and lemon inhalation aromatherapy can reduce patient anxiety levels during hemodialysis

Published: January 2024

Candida glabrata is an important opportunistic human pathogen well known to develop resistance to antifungal drugs. Due to their numerous desirable qualities, antimicrobial lipopeptides have gained significant attention as promising candidates for antifungal drugs. In the present study, two bioactive lipopeptides (AF4 and AF5 m/z 1071.5 and 1085.5, respectively), coproduced and purified from Bacillus subtilis RLID12.1, consist of seven amino acid residues with lipid moieties. In our previous studies, the reversed phased-HPLC purified lipopeptides demonstrated broad-spectrum of antifungal activities against over 110 Candida albicans, Candida non-albicans and mycelial fungi. Two lipopeptides triggered membrane permeabilization of C. glabrata cells, as confirmed by propidium iodide-based flow cytometry, with PI uptake up to 99% demonstrating fungicidal effects. Metabolic inactivation in treated cells was confirmed by FUN-1-based confocal microscopy. Together, the results indicate that these lipopeptides have potentials to be developed into a new set of antifungals for combating fungal infections.

Introduction: In several fields, the process of fusing multiple two-dimensional (2D) closed lines is an important step. For instance, this is fundamental in histology and oncology in general. The treatment of a tumor consists of numerous steps and activities. Among them, segmenting the cancer area, that is, the correct identification of its spatial location by the segmentation technique, is one of the most important and at the same time complex and delicate steps. The difficulty in deriving reliable segmentations stems from the lack of a standard for identifying the edges and surrounding tissues of the tumor area. For this reason, the entire process is affected by considerable subjectivity. Given a tumor image, different practitioners can associate different segmentations with it, and the diagnoses produced may differ. Moreover, experimental data show that the analysis of the same area by the same physician at two separate timepoints may result in different lines being produced. Accordingly, it is challenging to establish which contour line is the ground truth.

Methods: Starting from multiple segmentations related to the same tumor, statistical metrics and computational procedures could be exploited to combine them for determining the most reliable contour line. In particular, numerous algorithms have been developed over time for this procedure, but none of them is validated yet. Accordingly, in this field, there is no ground truth, and research is still active.

Results: In this work, we developed the Two-Dimensional Segmentation Fusion Tool (TDSFT), a user-friendly tool distributed as a free-to-use standalone application for MAC, Linux, and Windows, which offers a simple and extensible interface where numerous algorithms are proposed to “compute the mean” (i.e., the process to fuse, combine, and “average”) multiple 2D lines.

Conclusions: The TDSFT can support medical specialists, but it can also be used in other fields where it is required to combine 2D close lines. In addition, the TDSFT is designed to be easily extended with new algorithms thanks to a dedicated graphical interface for configuring new parameters.
