The Implications of E-Logistics on Business Performance in Supply Chain Management
Authors: Buyko Maria
Published: June 2023

Through a literature review of academic logistics publications and practitioner journals, this research examines the effect of Information Technology (IT) on logistics. The literature review and the examples from experience show that third-party logistic providers have a higher chance to exploit IT since they must share integrated IT systems with their clients. We analyze how e-logistics' relative effectiveness affects the bottom lines of various companies scattered along the distribution chain. Competition nowadays is between supply chains, and there is a growing need for firms to improve operations that affect their performance. The research studied the supply chains of major corporations, to draw substantial results.This resulted in analyzing a whole supply chain from the manufacturer all the way to the consumer. E-logistics tools used in the execution and planning of supply chains were identified, and their effectiveness was evaluated. A questionnaire was sent out to 475 people who were selected at random to be a good cross-section of the population. Descriptive statistics, correlation, and regression were utilized to analyze the data in this research. We make an effort to draw a picture of the tools' ability to improve the performance of specific businesses by tracing the connection between e-logistics setups and key performance characteristics. The results showed that e-logistics do affect the efficiency of businesses. In addition, the positive effects that IT has had on logistics are highlighted. It is explored where logistics is going in the future.
Evaluation of Environmental Pollution and Waste Management Strategies on the Ecosystem
Authors: Budjav Bolormaa
Published: June 2023

This article presents a discussion on environmental pollution, and waste management strategies. Whether it has a direct or indirect link, everything in the immediate ecosystem has some kind of bearing on the natural world. Pollution in the environment is caused by more than just humans; other organisms and natural disasters (such as quakes and volcanic eruptions) contribute, as well. Although environmental degradation has always been an issue, it has recently become a major danger to human civilization. The main question that surfaced when we were preparing our scientific research include: "What is the impact of the waste management on the environment?" There is widespread concern about environmental pollution today because of the many ways in which we are exposed to it on a daily basis, including through the food we eat, air we breathe, radiation we are exposed to, and water we drink. The depletion of natural resources, the loss of animal and plant species, and disruptions in global ecosystems and biochemical processes are further indicators of the effects of environmental concerns. The research findings suggest that waste management likely has serious consequences for the natural world.

Las diferentes interpretaciones de una misma realidad.
Authors: Querejazu Aguirre Igarki
Published: June 2023

Los principales temas discursivos que uno usa de manera más frecuente a la hora de elaborar un texto son un buen indicador de la perspectiva que se adopta sobre un determinado hecho. Este trabajo pretende hacer una comparación entre el Informe Final de la Comisión de la Verdad y la Reconciliación (CVR) y el texto «En honor a la verdad» de la Comisión Permanente de Historia del Ejército del Perú (CPHEP) los cuales determinaron diferentes miradas acerca de una misma realidad.De esta forma, no es de extrañar que las diferencias existentes entre ambos textos, uno desde una mirada más rural y el otro desde una más urbana, queden reflejadas en una sociedad que sigue sin hallar una efectiva reconciliación desde que finalizó el conflicto armado.

The landscape approach to conservation is a method that focuses on preserving and protecting entire ecosystems and the interactions between different habitat patches within a landscape, rather than just individual species or habitat fragments. It recognizes that all habitats are interconnected and that species and communities can move and interact within a landscape. It also prioritizes the preservation of species diversity, representativeness, and species of high conservation value within the landscape. The landscape approach also involves the integration of ecological concepts and the use of corridors and matrix to connect habitat patches and facilitate the movement of species. It can be applied to the conservation of birds, as well as other groups of organisms, in order to effectively manage and protect biodiversity within a landscape.The landscape approach to conservation is a method that focuses on preserving and protecting entire ecosystems and the interactions between different habitat patches within a landscape, rather than just individual species or habitat fragments.

Authors: BARODAUALA S. F. , PATEL P. K. , PATEL C. D.
Published: June 2023

Baroda, a city in India, has experienced environmental degradation due to industrialization and urbanization. The city has seen a decrease in vegetation cover, an increase in summer temperatures and a decrease in rainfall since the onset of industrialization in 1961. The changes in the city's climate can be attributed to the physical alteration of the land surface, the production of heat by human activities and the introduction of fine particles into the air. The effects of these changes include increased air pollution, increased heat island effect, decreased wind speeds and increased flooding. The authors recommend preserving existing green spaces and promoting afforestation as solutions to these problems.Baroda, a city in India, has experienced environmental degradation due to industrialization and urbanization.

The Impact of Sino-Us Trade Friction on China’s Argo-forest Products: Stylized Facts and Prospect
Authors: Wu Qijuan
Published: June 2023

Sino-US trade friction is a crucial issue in the economic relationship between China and the USA. This paper analyzes how friction influences the bilateral trade of agroforestry products from the perspective of changes in trade volume, using recent-year data. The results show that Sino-US trade friction dissevers and reconstructs the global value chain of agroforestry products. This variation imposes more harm than good on the related global trade pattern. Furthermore, this paper lists and illustrates three measures taken by the Chinese government to deal with the trade friction: expanding the alternative market to meet domestic demand and fill the supply gap, improving the added value to ameliorate the structure of foreign trade and enhancing core competitiveness, and establishing an early warning mechanism to guard against abnormal changes in the international market and increase trade security. Finally, in response to the situation of trade friction, this paper puts forward two politically-sound suggestions that should be adopted by China and the USA for rebuilding a mutually beneficial pattern: negotiating rationally and following the rules of the WTO.

Authors: Li Tao , Liu Zhaoxian , Yang Yihua
Published: June 2023

The Fed's announcement of an increase in the federal funds rate has caused a global trend of interest rate hikes, resulting in the return of the U.S. dollar and global currency depreciation, making it the most important economic phenomenon in 2022. The subject of this paper is to analyze the economic impact of the Fed's interest rate hikes on developing countries, and this paper uses data from government portals in several developing countries to further study the response of each country and to identify possible solutions for developing countries to deal with the problem of interest rate hikes. The study finds that the Fed's interest rate hike has caused capital outflows, exchange rate depreciation, and increased financial risks, which are limited in scale, and the status of international settlement of RMB's currencies still needs to be improved. In order to support the stability and healthy development of China's financial system and currency in light of the current complex international situation, it is important to increase the implementation of prudent monetary policy, maintain independence and autonomy, strengthen macro-prudential regulation, stabilize the RMB exchange rate, and implement proactive fiscal policy.
Who is caring for nurses? A qualitative description of psychological influence of COVID-19 pandemic on RNs’ self-efficacy and job satisfaction
Authors: Bryan Venise , Stephens Jennifer M.L. , Shippey-Heilman Andrea , Rempel Gwen R.
Published: June 2023

Working while undertaking graduate education in nursing is challenging at any time. During the COVID-19 pandemic, many nurses continued to work on the frontline while completing their graduate studies. Healthcare workers, including nurses, were routinely exposed to several types of psychological trauma during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this study, we seek to generate an understanding of the psychological influence of COVID-19 on registered nurses’ (RNs’) self-efficacy and job satisfaction while commencing graduate studies in nursing and working in clinical practice during the pandemic. A qualitative descriptive design was used to explore written reflections from 72 RNs enrolled in their first Master of Nursing graduate course at an online university. The RNs’ online discussion postings related to the impact of the pandemic on nursing. Data were analysed using content and thematic analysis. Analysis revealed five overriding themes around job satisfaction and self-efficacy: level of professional involvement and guilt, communication of information and leadership, psychological and physical wellbeing, the safety of self and others, and relationships to and within the nursing profession. Overall, a strong sense of kinship contributed to job satisfaction and self-efficacy. Findings confirmed the need for so-called “aftercare” for nurses by leadership and administrators. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has been considerable on the individual nurse’s sense of self-efficacy and job satisfaction, and this is particularly noted in nurses who commenced graduate studies during the pandemic.
A pürrhóni filozófia alapvonalai az arisztoklészi testimóniumban
Authors: Veres Máté
Published: June 2023

Az Arisztoklész-testimónium (Euszebiosz, Felkészítés az Evangéliumra XIV. 18.1–4) alapján két eltérő és összeegyeztethetetlen Pürrhón-értelmezés bontható ki. Az egyik szerint Pürrhón sajátos, a dolgok meghatározatlanságára vonatkozó metafizikai nézete alapján szorgalmazta a vélekedés nélküli életet, a másik szerint viszont az emberi megismerőképesség elégtelen volta miatt gondolta úgy, hogy minden kérdésben fel kell függesztenünk ítéletünket. A tanulmányban áttekintem a két értelmezéstípus legfontosabb változatait, filozófiai és nyelvi megalapozottságukat, illetve a későbbi pürrhónikus mozgalomhoz való viszonyukat.
A jelen pillanat fogalma Marcus Aureliusnál

A jelen tanulmányban Pierre Hadot azon gondolatára építek, amely szerint Marcus Aurelius újítása, hogy a képzetek kezelése kizárólag a jelen eseményekre és a jelen képzetekre vonatkozik. Tézisem annyiban ad hozzá Hadot gondolatához, hogy annak bemutatását kísérlem meg, hogy Marcus Aurelius – összefüggésben a sztoikus időfelfogással – az ember életét jelen pillanatok sorozataként fogja fel, valamint két szemponttal gazdagítom annak a gondolatnak a kifejtését, hogy a képzetek kezelése kizárólag a jelenben lehetséges. Egyrészt a jelen pillanat (παρόν) és a most (νῦν) fogalmak elemzésével, másrészt azzal, hogy miért szükséges a hozzánk illő cselekedeteket időben minél szorosabbra fűzni egymáshoz. Marcus Aurelius gondolkodásának egyes elemei nem jelentenek forradalmi újdonságot, ám azok kombinációja egy újszerű sztoikus cselekvéselméleti felfogás irányába mutat legfőbb szellemi mesteréhez, Epiktétoszhoz képest is.
Inflammatory and Immunologic Contributions in Femoroacetabular Impingement Syndrome
Authors: Tagliero Adam J. , Foster Michael J. , Melugin Heath P. , Su Charles A.
Published: June 2023

Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is one of the most common causes of labral and early cartilage damage in the nondysplastic hip. FAI is increasingly recognized as a cause for hip and groin pain in the young, active patient, and the surgical treatment of FAI with hip arthroscopy has risen exponentially. Although our understanding of FAI and the progression to degenerative osteoarthritis of the hip has historically been considered a mechanical “wear-and-tear” disease of an imperfectly shaped, aspherical, femoral head within a deep or overcovering acetabulum leading to cartilage injury, our understanding of the intrinsic pathophysiologic mechanisms underlying the development of FAI and joint degeneration of the hip remains poor. For example, many patients with FAI morphology may never develop hip pain or osteoarthritis; there remains more to discover regarding the pathophysiology of arthritis in the setting of FAI. Recent work has begun to identify a strong inflammatory and immunologic component to the FAI disease process that affects the hip synovium, labrum, and cartilage and may be detectable from peripheral clinical samples (blood and urine). This review highlights our current understanding of the inflammatory and immunologic contributions to FAI and potential therapeutic strategies to supplement and augment the surgical management of FAI.
Operationalizing PROMs at the Musculoskeletal Practice and Policy Levels
Authors: Bernstein David N. , Baumhauer Judith F.
Published: June 2023

There continues to be growing interest in patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), especially as value-based healthcare initiatives gain more traction. Although it is well-established that PROMs can be useful in clinical research, how to operationalize PROMs in clinical care and policy initiatives remains a “work in progress.” Following the design of a comprehensive PROM administration and routine collection system, orthopaedic surgeons and their patients can reap the benefits of PROMs in practice through improved shared clinical decision-making discussions at the individual patient level and closer symptom monitoring on a large scale, with improved resource allocation at the population health level. Although certain government and payer incentives exist to collect PROMs at present, it is reasonable to assume that future policy initiatives will begin to use the actual PROM scores to assess clinical outcomes. Orthopaedic surgeons with interest in this area should prioritize their involvement in policy discussion to ensure PROMs are being used appropriately in novel payment models and policy endeavors so that they are both evaluated and compensated fairly. Specifically, orthopaedic surgeons can help ensure appropriate risk adjustment of patients when this is being done. Undoubtedly, PROMs will only become a larger part of musculoskeletal care moving forward.

Arab Saudi menutup akses bagi Muslim untuk beribadah ke Makkah selama Covid-19. Satu tahun kemudian pelarangan tersebut dicabut. Pemberian izin haji dan umrah dengan segala aturan tambahan memaksa lembaga persiapan ibadah haji dan umrah untuk melakukan penyesuaian dan reformulasi strategi. Studi ini secara fokus mengkaji tentang reformulasi strategi pada Kelompok Bimbingan Haji dan Umrah (KBIHU) dengan mengangkat kasus di A.R Sutan Mansur Bengkulu, Indonesia. Penelitian ini bertumpu pada data kualitatif menggunakan analisis SWOT (strength, weakness, opportunities, dan threats). Pada butir pertanyaan SWOT, wawancara mendalam dilakukan kepada tujuh orang stakeholders. Penelitian menemukan KBIHU dilaksanakan enam bulan sebelum pelaksanaan Haji, kemudian vakum untuk dua tahun akibat kebijakan Covid-19 di Indonesia dan Arab Saudi. Pada musim haji 2022, A.R Sutan Mansur Bengkulu melakukan perubahan manajemen: penambahan karyawan operasional, penataan jam operasional, aktivasi promosi melalui sosial media, penambahan alat-alat manasik haji, dan secara berkala meng-upgrade pengetahuan pembimbing. Langkah ini diambil setelah menyadari keunggulan internal lembaga dan penetrasi pesaing yang lebih awal memanfaatkan online. Penelitian ini memberikan wawasan tentang pentingnya bagi institusi Islam bidang pelayanan untuk mencermati kembali strategi pasca krisis.

Simulated participants (SPs) can support development of competencies associated with person-centred care of older adults. There is limited information and understanding about working with older adult SPs and those who support them to create authentic, safe and effective simulations. This review aimed to review simulation literature focused on the care of older adults to explore and summarize what is known about working with older adults as SPs in healthcare providers’ education.

This scoping review followed Arksey and O’Malley’s five-stage approach, involving identification, selection, charting, collating, summarizing and reporting on results. Databases searched included MEDLINE, PsychINFO and EBSCO. To capture additional articles, we hand-searched the reference lists of articles selected for inclusion, MedEdPORTAL and Google Scholar.

From the initial 816 citations identified, 12 articles were in scope. Articles were either research or educational guides. Findings related to general characteristics of articles, description of SPs, conceptualization of SP role/scenario, SP preparation and scenario implementation.

Older adult SPs contribute to healthcare provider training in authentic, engaging, safe and effective ways. This scoping review provides a foundation on which to further develop older adult SP practices by highlighting their well-being and safety (both physical and psychological), promoting ways to increase diversity and inclusion, and emphasizing that the words we use matter. Improved reporting details of articles involving older adult SPs will facilitate the identification of effective practices.

This study aimed to improve the block starts initial acceleration performance for 100m athletes. In this research, to have faster block starts, athletes will need to work on starting block position and improve acceleration out of the blocks by using the most suitable block Pendle obliquities. Aim to investigate the during athlete block clearance force production effect on different obliquities in 100m performance in sprinters Initial Acceleration (IA) (0-10 m) Phase. Identify the most accurate block Pendle notches for block clearance performance for using force plate on foot paddles. According to the sample sprinter (n=8) collected data from using Qualisys 3D Motion Capture Analysis Software and Data Analysis through SPSS Statistics (version 27.0). This research employed one group post-test only design to improve acceleration through block start clearance performance force production of 100m sprinters. As supposed, accurate block start obliquities influence the Minimize time in the block clearance performance. Further, Athlete acceleration time also has decreased. That acceleration phase time increment supports the achievement of their personal best timing in 100m events.

To adapt to the current pandemic, the higher education system in hospitality management must shift away from traditional classroom to online classroom settings. Successful hospitality management education requires internship experiences as it eases the students’ transition between education and employment. However, delivering it through virtual channels presents special challenges. Thus, this research aimed to assess how hospitality management students view the virtual internship (VI) and work-integrated learning (WIL) outcomes during pandemic. This study employed descriptive method to identify the different variables of the study and presents quantitative research that utilized online survey method to gather data. The respondents of the study were the fourth year Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Management (BSHM) students (n=35) from the College of Business and Management of the Mindoro State University-Calapan City Campus who undertaken the virtual internship for the second semester of AY 2021-2022. Results of the study showed that VI was the best alternative to face-to-face internship as the students felt secured and less exposed on the threats of COVID-19, however, the VI felt short of the means for them to ask questions and clarify difficulties as well as failing to form networking opportunities. Students also believed it enhanced their skills and have advanced in their practical knowledge but somehow, they lack in creating opportunity to work in a genuine hospitality industry setting. It is recommended to conduct a hybrid internship, both virtual and on-site, to create a chance for the hospitality management students to have an authentic workplace setting.

O voleibol é um dos esportes de alto rendimento mais praticados e assistidos mundialmente. Devido a essa grande magnitude e prestígio que a modalidade alcançou, uma boa preparação por parte dos atletas vem sendo cada vez mais necessária. Além da preparação e treinamentos para os aspectos físicos, técnicos e táticos que são muito importantes, os fatores psicológicos também possuem grande relevância no processo de preparação competitiva. O estado emocional se altera em períodos pré-competitivos, gerando uma ansiedade por parte dos competidores em relação a sua performance nas partidas. Considerando a relevância destes aspectos, o presente estudo teve como objetivo relacionar os níveis de ansiedade-estado pré-competitiva com a performance esportiva em atletas do voleibol feminino de base. Participaram deste estudo 14 atletas de voleibol, das categorias de base Sub-16, com idades entre 14 e 16 anos, integrantes de um clube do interior do Rio Grande do Sul. As informações sobre as atletas e a coleta de dados foi realizada a partir de informações contidas no banco de dados que a equipe possui. Para este estudo foram utilizadas e analisadas informações da estreia da equipe no Campeonato Estadual de Voleibol de 2022, na primeira etapa da competição, onde disputou quatro partidas. As informações coletadas foram sobre o desempenho técnico a partir da “Ficha de Registro de Ações Finais”, além de dados sobre o estado de ansiedade pré-competitiva, coletados através do questionário CSAI-2. Conforme os resultados obtidos, no que se refere ao desempenho técnico, a média de eficiência apresentada pela equipe foi negativa -5,25 pontos. Já sobre os níveis de ansiedade-estado em cada um dos seus domínios, o componente cognitivo apresentou uma média de 31 pontos, sendo considerado um alto nível de ansiedade; no componente somático 21,3 pontos, sendo considerado um médio nível de ansiedade e a autoconfiança com 21,1 pontos, ficando classificada em um médio nível neste quesito. Ao avaliar os dados estatísticos e se os níveis de ansiedade-estado interferem no desempenho do voleibol, a análise estatística demonstrou que a ansiedade cognitiva pode influenciar nos pontos pró p=0.02; R²=9% e nos erros diretos p=0.04; R²=5%. Conclui-se que há relação entre a ansiedade-estado pré-competitiva no componente cognitivo e a performance esportiva em atletas do voleibol feminino de base.
