Authors: Pateña Elenita P.
Published: August 2024

The present research study focused on the development of work- life balance and organizational productivity framework for state universities and colleges. During these times, handling a balanced life between professional and personal life seems hard to achieve, especially for the people in the educational area, teachers, professors, staff, faculties, and even students are having a hard time balancing. Since different problems and rising expectations occur regularly in organizations’ lives, the researcher attempts to create a work- life balance and organizational productivity framework for state universities and colleges to help SUC members and institutions think about an effective way to have a work-life balance in relation to organizational productivity. This study utilized descriptive research as the design. Correlational research helps the researcher to design and to understand the concept of the correlation between work-life balance and organizational productivity to state universities’ organization and employees. The study utilized a questionnaire checklist aligned with the assessment towards the development of work life balance and organizational productivity framework for state universities and colleges that adapted from other research studies. The researcher also utilized descriptive statistics and correlation analysis using Pearson-r correlation that has been employed to determine the effect of work-life balance on employee productivity. The extent of work-life balance of the SUCs faculty members concerning their self-management, time management, stress management, and leisure management was extremely very high. The extent of organizational productivity of the SUCs faculty members with respect to the quality and relevance of instruction, research and development, extension and training services and management resources was very high. There is a significant relationship of work-life balance of SUCs faculty members to the organizational productivity. The work-life balance of SUCs faculty members and the predictors of organizational productivity have resulted in a good model in the area of quality and relevance of instruction, research and development, management of resources, and organizational productivity, while the extension and training services are interpreted as not a good model. Based on the data gathered, the conclusion was: The SUCs faculty members’ different practices to their work-life balance effect on the productivity in serving the organization or institution. The SUCs faculty members have a balanced personal and professional life that significantly influences the work-life balance of faculty staff members positively. It not only allows them to perform their duties effectively but also ensures they have the time and flexibility to engage in personal activities, contributing to their overall well-being.
Fettich Nándor és az orosz emigráns régészettudomány a két világháború között
Authors: Kovalev Michail , Seres Attila
Published: August 2024

A tanulmány a két világháború közötti magyar archeológia egyik legkiemelkedőbb alakja, Fettich Nándor és a prágai Kondakov Intézet közötti kapcsolatok bemutatását tűzte ki céljául. Nyikodim Kondakov (1844–1925) orosz régész, művészettörténész, a bizánci és óorosz művelődéstörténet kutatója, a bizánci és korai orosz műemlékek leírása során alkalmazott ikonográfiai módszer kidolgozója 1920-tól emigrációba kényszerült, s 1922-től Prágában telepedett le és alkotott. Halála után az általa létrehozott tudományos iskola tagjai felvállalták szellemi hagyatékának ápolását, s eleinte egy egyetemi szeminárium, majd egy tudományos kutatóintézet keretében vitték tovább az általa megkezdett kutatásokat. Az intézet széles körű nemzetközi partneri kapcsolatrendszert épített ki, s az európai és az orosz régészettudomány legfontosabb kapcsolódási pontjává, illetve a Nyugat és Kelet közötti tudományos dialógus egyik legfőbb letéteményesévé vált a két világháború közötti időszakban.
Vita egy egyetemi előadássorozat körül 1939-ben
Authors: Vincze Tamás
Published: August 2024

1939 elején a hazai középiskolai tanári társadalom legnépszerűbb lapja, az Országos Tanáregyesületi Közlöny meglehetősen udvariatlan, sőt goromba hangnemű ismertetést közölt Császár Elemér 1938-ban kiadott Arany János-könyvéről. Császár Elemér könyvét az egyetem Magyar Irodalomtörténeti Intézetének hallgatói jelentették meg, a professzor munkássága előtti tisztelgés jeléül. Ezt a munkát bírálta meg Földessy Gyula, az ekkoriban mellőzött, perifériára szorított irodalomtudós a Közlöny hasábjain. A nyers hangú bírálatot válasz követte, Császár Elemér régi ismerőse és harcostársa, Lázár Béla vette védelmébe a megtámadott munkát. Nem lényegtelen a vitában a megbírált mű témája. Arany költészete a nemzeti klasszicizmus csúcsaként, meghaladhatatlan teljesítményként került be az irodalomtörténetbe, határkővé és ütközőponttá vált: olyan értelmezési rétegek rakódtak rá a 20. század elején, amelyek eltávolították, elidegenítették a századforduló után indult költőnemzedéktől. Tanulmányomban feltárom a megbírált könyv szerzője és a bírálat írója közötti alkati, szemléletbeli különbségeket, igyekszem feltérképezni a szakmai kapcsolatrendszerüket, tanulmányozom munkásságuk korabeli és az utókor általi értékelését. Így a botrányos recenzió a válasszal együtt irodalomtudomány-történeti kontextusba helyezve új megvilágítást és jelentést kap.

Authors:   Department of Economics, University of Bamenda- Cameroon, Daniel Tambi Mbu , Thomas Mangeb Arrey ,   Department of Agribusiness Technology, University of Bamenda- Cameroon
Published: August 2024

This study aimed to investigate the profitability analysis of sweet orange production in Mamfe municipality, Cameroon. The study employed primary data collection through self-administered questionnaires to sweet orange farmers and a total of 200 samples were selected. The study used financial profitability analyses and percentage ranking to estimate the result. The gross return and net return for a hectare of the sweet orange orchard were 14155000 FCFA and 11759200 FCFA respectively for a 12 year sweet orange orchard. The NPV was estimated to be 4447824 FCFA per hectare of sweet orange orchard which indicates that sweet orange production fetches higher returns. The estimated BCR was 3.95 for a hectare of sweet orange orchard which shows that investment in sweet orange production is feasible for farmers. The production of sweet orange production was also found to be a profitable investment since the IRR was high (34.836%). The results also revealed that profits from sweet orange production have an impact on the livelihood of farmers. The result from the percentage ranking shows that the major constraints of sweet orange farmers are credit facilities, lack of agrochemicals, absence of extension services, high cost of farm inputs, high cost of labor, pests and diseases, and bushfires. The study concluded that sweet orange production was profitable and recommended that decision makers should promote sweet orange production via easy agricultural credits and others. This is a wise step towards improve well-being in Mamfe municipality in particular and Cameroon at large.

The challenges of Internationalisation of Chinese companies in Africa: A systematic review
Authors: Wang Haibin
Published: August 2024

This systematic review makes the case for internationalization in Africa, covering the economic motives, the socio-political challenges, operational barriers, and adaptation strategies. The review, in this respect, synthesizes findings from a myriad of empirical studies to the effect that pursuit of natural resources, market expansion, and diversification remain the major drivers of Chinese investment in Africa. Despite these motivations, the Chinese businesses face a number of challenges, including cultural differences, regulatory complexities, problems in governance, and operation difficulties both in infrastructure and human resources. Adaptation strategies through localization, CSR, and strategic partnerships were implemented to counterbalance such challenges and ensure effectiveness in business. In its review, it has managed to corral some empirical evidence together with theoretical frameworks that identify the dimensions of business relations between China and Africa, from Dunning's Eclectic Paradigm and Institutional Theory to the Resource-Based View. Its findings offer very useful knowledge for both academics and practitioners in an attempt to navigate and leverage opportunities and challenges of international business in an African context.
Keywords: Internationalisation, Chinese Companies, Africa, Economic Motivations, Adaptation Strategies.
Canadian Medical Imaging Inventory 2022–2023: Provincial and Territorial Overview
Authors: CADTH
Published: August 2024

The average age of imaging equipment in Canada has increased for all imaging modalities over the past 2 decades. Most imaging equipment is more than 5 years old, and at least one-third of equipment is more than 10 years old.
Investing in new equipment to meet growing demand may not increase imaging capacity without also considering staffing.
There is no current international benchmark for the optimal number of imaging units per population, but there is a general assumption that too few units may limit access and increase wait times while too many units may encourage low-value imaging.
Canada remains below the average for Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries and is positioned in the bottom 30% of OECD countries in units per million population for CT, MRI, and PET-CT.
Canada is positioned in the bottom 50% of OECD countries for volume of publicly funded CT, MRI, and PET-CT exams per 1,000 population.
Since 2012, both the overall numbers of MRI, PET-CT, and SPECT-CT units and the numbers of MRI, PET-CT, and SPECT-CT units per million people have grown.
The number of units for all modalities operating in Canada has increased since 2019–2020, except for SPECT units. In most provinces, the number of SPECT units per population decreased, indicating that population growth outpaced installation.
The imaging workforce is under strain. Clearing the backlog of exams deferred during the pandemic has exacerbated existing staffing shortages.
New investment in radiology staffing, particularly imaging technologists, is required, including improved recruitment and retention policies.
Compared to the prepandemic period, there are now fewer full-time radiology professionals in practice across Canada, with medical physicists experiencing the largest decline per million population.
Wait times for medical imaging remain above the recommended maximum wait time in many jurisdictions and are influenced by a variety of factors.
The adoption of supportive tools and technologies — such as clinical decision support tools, automated order entry, and AI-driven solutions — can assist the workforce, add value to imaging services, and increase access to medical imaging.
Canadian Medical Imaging Inventory 2022–2023: PET-CT and PET-MRI
Authors: CADTH
Published: August 2024

PET-CT Imaging

PET-CT is an advanced imaging technique that combines PET with CT to measure metabolic or biochemical activity in the human body.
Sixty PET-CT units in 9 provinces were identified by the Canadian Medical Imaging Inventory (CMII) in its 2022–2023 national survey. All units are located in urban centres.
Canada has 1.5 PET-CT units per million people. The greatest density of units per million people is in Quebec, New Brunswick, and Newfoundland and Labrador.
Approximately 156,320 publicly funded PET-CT examinations were performed in the 2022–2023 fiscal year. This represents a national average of 3.9 exams per 1,000 people, an increase of 18.2% since 2019–
PET-CT was reported to have the largest demand in oncology (66.1%), followed by cardiology (13.2%) and neurology (10.1%). Applications for PET-CT continue to expand to new clinical indications and therapeutic areas.
The upfront capital and ongoing operational costs of PET-CT units, as well as the costs of radiopharmaceutical products and equipment, may act as barriers to the rapid adoption of this technology.
Canada is positioned in the bottom 25% of Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries in units per million population and the bottom 50% of OECD countries for average volume of publicly funded PET-CT exams per 1,000 population.
The average age of PET-CT equipment in Canada is 7.2 years; 51.5% of PET-CT units are 5 years old or newer, 21.2% are 6 to 10 years old, and 27.3% are more than 10 years old.
Radiotracers are essential in PET imaging. The most commonly used PET-CT radiotracers are for oncology: 91% of sites reported using fluorodeoxyglucose F18 and 31.8% of sites reported using gallium-68 DOTA-TATE.
The production of most radiotracers requires the use of a cyclotron.1 Overall, 21.7% of PET-CT sites reported local proximity to a cyclotron, reflecting a disparity in the access to and growing demand for radiotracer supply.

PET-MRI Imaging

PET-MRI is a technique that combines PET with MRI to produce highly detailed imaging of soft tissues in the human body.
PET-MRI is almost exclusively used for research purposes in Canada; therefore, data are limited for this modality.
Six PET-MRI units were identified in Canada across 3 provinces, representing a national average of 0.2 units per million people.
The average age of PET-MRI equipment in Canada is 6.7 years; 2 units are 6 to 10 years old, and 1 unit is 5 years old.
Canadian Medical Imaging Inventory 2022–2023: SPECT and SPECT-CT
Authors: CADTH
Published: August 2024

SPECT is a nuclear imaging technique that provides 3D information on functional and molecular processes in the body. SPECT has been integrated with CT to combine the imaging strengths of both modalities in SPECT-CT.
In total, 331 SPECT-CT units in 10 provinces and 210 SPECT units operating in 9 provinces were identified by the Canadian Medical Imaging Inventory (CMII) in its 2022–2023 national survey. There are no SPECT-CT and SPECT units operating in Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut.
Canada has 8.3 SPECT-CT units per million people and 5.3 SPECT units per million people. The greatest density of units per million people for SPECT-CT is in Newfoundland and Labrador and the greatest density for SPECT are in Alberta and New Brunswick.
The combined volume of SPECT-CT and SPECT exams conducted in 2022–2023 has decreased by approximately 37.5% since 2015, which is attributed to the gradual decommissioning of SPECT units and replacement of these technologies with other imaging modalities.
SPECT-CT is primarily used for oncology exams, followed by cardiology exams and musculoskeletal exams. SPECT is primarily used for cardiology exams, followed by oncology and musculoskeletal exams.
On average, SPECT-CT and SPECT units operate approximately 42 hours per week across jurisdictions in Canada that have capacity.

KOMPENSASI SEBAGAI PENYEMANGAT KERJA UNTUK MENINGKATKAN KINERJA KARYAWAN
Authors: Rachmawati Dita , PUJI HANDAYATI  , ARIEF NOVIARAKHMAN ZAGLADI
Published: August 2024

Compensation is a reward given by the company to employees, for their services in carrying out the duties, obligations and responsibilities assigned to them in order to achieve company goals. Providing compensation to employees has the greatest influence on employees’ thoughts about a sense of calm that generates loyalty to the company and motivates the implementation of their work. The purpose of this study is to identify compensation as a work incentive to improve employee performance. The method used is research using literature studies by examining journals and books related to the effect of compensation as an encouragement for employee performance. The results of the discussion show that the compensation given must be felt fairly by employees and the amount of compensation is not much different from what is expected by employees. If these two things can be fulfilled, the employee will be satisfied. Satisfaction will trigger employees to continue to improve their performance, so that company goals and employee needs will be achieved together.

Este artigo investiga as intervenções pedagógicas nas salas de aula para promover a inclusão de alunos com deficiência. O objetivo é analisar as práticas adotadas pelos professores, identificar desafios e avaliar a eficácia das estratégias. Utilizou-se um desenho metodológico misto, com abordagem quantitativa e qualitativa. Foram selecionadas amostras de escolas públicas e privadas de diferentes regiões, e os dados foram coletados por questionários, entrevistas semiestruturadas e observações diretas. A análise envolveu técnicas estatísticas descritivas e análise temática. Os resultados mostraram que a maioria dos professores realiza adaptações curriculares e usa tecnologias assistivas, mas enfrenta desafios como falta de recursos e resistência à mudança. Cerca de 78% dos professores modificam conteúdos e 65% utilizam tecnologias assistivas. A formação contínua está associada a uma maior eficácia nas práticas inclusivas. As intervenções têm um impacto positivo na inclusão, melhorando o desempenho acadêmico e social dos alunos. No entanto, é necessário superar barreiras como a falta de recursos e suporte institucional. Recomenda-se investir em formação e apoio contínuos para aprimorar a inclusão escolar.

A osteonecrose nos ossos maxilares pode ser desencadeada por fatores locais ou sistêmicos destacando-se medicamentos como os bisfosfonatos, que agem principalmente nos osteoclastos, e a radioterapia, que afeta principalmente a angiogênese e os osteoblastos. A radioterapia é um tratamento que utiliza radiação eletromagnética para afetar as células dos tecidos. Este estudo tem por objetivo descrever acerca da utilização da laserterapia no tratamento da osteonecrose dos maxilares associada a radiação na região da cabeça e pescoço. Trata-se de uma revisão bibliográfica integrativa com abordagem qualitativa. Os artigos foram selecionados nas bases de dados LILACS, SCIELO, PUBMED. A literatura aponta que o laser de baixa potência tem a capacidade de acelerar o processo de reparação tecidual, reduzir a dor e o edema, diminuir os sinais de inflamação e promover a formação de novo tecido ósseo. O uso da laserterapia tem apresentado grande eficácia no tratamento da osteonecrose dos maxilares associada a radiação na região da cabeça e pescoço.

Introdução: O Infarto Agudo do Miocárdio (IAM) é uma condição médica crítica e uma das principais causas de mortalidade global. Pacientes que sofreram um IAM prévio enfrentam um risco cardiovascular significativamente elevado, exigindo uma gestão clínica e cirúrgica rigorosa para prevenir novos eventos cardiovasculares. O manejo desses pacientes inclui a otimização dos fatores de risco, como hipertensão, diabetes e dislipidemia, além da adesão a medicamentos como inibidores da enzima de conversão da angiotensina (IECA), betabloqueadores, estatinas e antiplaquetários. Intervenções cirúrgicas, como a revascularização miocárdica, são frequentemente necessárias, dependendo da extensão da doença coronariana e da condição clínica do paciente. Objetivo: Avaliar as considerações clínicas e cirúrgicas associadas ao risco cardiovascular em pacientes com IAM prévio, proporcionando uma visão abrangente das estratégias de manejo mais eficazes. Metodologia: A metodologia desta revisão foi baseada no checklist PRISMA, utilizando as bases de dados PubMed, Scielo e Web of Science. Os descritores utilizados foram "infarto do miocárdio", "risco cardiovascular", "revascularização miocárdica", "medicação pós-infarto" e "prevenção secundária". Foram incluídos artigos publicados nos últimos 10 anos, escritos em inglês ou português, que abordassem intervenções clínicas ou cirúrgicas em pacientes com IAM prévio. Critérios de inclusão incluíram estudos randomizados controlados, coortes prospectivas e revisões sistemáticas. Critérios de exclusão envolveram artigos de opinião, estudos com menos de 50 participantes e pesquisas realizadas fora do contexto hospitalar. Resultados: Os resultados desta revisão indicaram que o manejo clínico rigoroso, incluindo o uso de estatinas, IECA e betabloqueadores, reduziu significativamente a mortalidade e a recorrência de eventos cardiovasculares. Intervenções cirúrgicas mostraram benefícios claros em pacientes com múltiplas lesões coronarianas e disfunção ventricular esquerda. No entanto, a escolha entre angioplastia e CRM deve ser individualizada, considerando a anatomia coronariana e a condição geral do paciente. Conclusão: A adesão ao tratamento medicamentoso, a modificação do estilo de vida e a seleção criteriosa de intervenções cirúrgicas são cruciais para minimizar o risco cardiovascular e melhorar a qualidade de vida desses pacientes. Monitorização contínua e avaliações periódicas são essenciais para ajustar o tratamento conforme a evolução clínica, destacando a importância de uma abordagem personalizada e abrangente na prevenção secundária de eventos cardíacos.

Introdução A acromegalia é uma desordem endócrina crônica, geralmente causada por um adenoma hipofisário que resulta na produção excessiva de hormônio do crescimento (GH) e fator de crescimento semelhante à insulina (IGF-1). Esta condição é frequentemente associada a várias complicações cardiovasculares, incluindo hipertensão arterial, hipertrofia ventricular e cardiomiopatia.. Compreender a relação entre acromegalia e doenças cardiovasculares é essencial para o desenvolvimento de estratégias eficazes de prevenção e tratamento, incluindo intervenções farmacológicas, radioterapia e cirurgia. Objetivo A revisão sistemática de literatura teve como objetivo avaliar os riscos cardiovasculares associados à acromegalia, identificar estratégias de prevenção eficazes e analisar a necessidade de intervenções cirúrgicas no manejo da condição. Metodologia Foi utilizada a metodologia baseada no checklist PRISMA para realizar a revisão. Foram consultadas as bases de dados PubMed, Scielo e Web of Science. Os descritores utilizados incluíram "acromegalia", "doenças cardiovasculares", "hipertrofia ventricular", "cardiomiopatia" e "tratamento cirúrgico". A pesquisa focou em artigos publicados nos últimos 10 anos. Os critérios de inclusão foram: estudos clínicos e experimentais sobre acromegalia e complicações cardiovasculares, artigos revisados por pares e pesquisas que apresentaram dados quantitativos ou qualitativos relevantes. Os critérios de exclusão abrangeram: estudos com foco em condições não relacionadas à acromegalia, artigos não revisados por pares e pesquisas de fontes não científicas. Resultados Os resultados destacaram que a acromegalia está fortemente associada ao desenvolvimento de doenças cardiovasculares, como hipertensão e cardiomiopatia. O tratamento farmacológico, incluindo análogos da somatostatina e antagonistas dos receptores de GH, demonstrou ser eficaz na redução dos níveis de hormônio do crescimento e IGF-1, contribuindo para a mitigação dos riscos cardiovasculares. A intervenção cirúrgica, especialmente a remoção do adenoma hipofisário, mostrou-se uma abordagem efetiva para controlar a acromegalia e melhorar a função cardiovascular. A radioterapia, embora útil em alguns casos, pode levar a complicações a longo prazo que exigem monitoramento contínuo. Conclusão A revisão sistemática evidenciou a importância de um manejo integrado da acromegalia e suas complicações cardiovasculares. O tratamento deve incluir uma combinação de terapias farmacológicas, intervenções cirúrgicas e estratégias de prevenção para minimizar os riscos e melhorar a saúde cardiovascular dos pacientes. A abordagem multidisciplinar é crucial para otimizar os resultados clínicos e proporcionar um suporte abrangente aos pacientes com acromegalia.
