Effect of Hopelessness on Labor Absorption: An Analysis from Organizational Psychology
Authors: Murillo Hernán Javier Guzmán , Ortega José Marcelo Torres , Niebles William
Published: February 2025

This study analyzes the relationship between Hopelessness and Absorption in the work environment, with the purpose of evaluating how the perception of lack of control and negative expectations can affect the immersion of employees in their tasks. The research is based on theoretical models on work engagement, emotional regulation, and cognition at work, considering that a high level of hopelessness can decrease employees' ability to stay focused on their duties. It is hypothesized that employees with higher levels of hopelessness experience less absorption at work, suggesting that emotional stability and the perception of control over the organizational environment may be determinants in attentional focus and task involvement. To evaluate this relationship, a quantitative design based on simple linear regression was used. The estimated econometric model shows that the coefficient of the variable Hopelessness is negative and significant (p<0.05p < 0.05), indicating that an increase in hopelessness is associated with a decrease in labor absorption. In addition, the F-statistic test suggests that the model is globally significant, allowing the results to be interpreted with confidence. The findings suggest that hopelessness may be a factor that negatively influences the level of employee absorption, which has implications for talent management and the design of organizational strategies aimed at strengthening work commitment. It is recommended that future research incorporate moderating variables such as organizational resilience and emotional regulation, in order to better understand the mechanisms underlying this relationship.

Python-based PCA for Analyzing Financial Performance Changes in the Health Sector's Pharmaceutical Sub-Industry
Authors: Mulyo Iksan Adityo , Heikal Jerry , Gunawan William Ben
Published: February 2025

A meticulous examination of the financial status of 11 prominent pharmaceutical corporations was initiated through a comprehensive analytical investigation. Employing 15 pertinent financial metrics, encompassing indicators like the Price-Earnings Ratio (PER) and Net Profit Margin (NPM), allows for a thorough assessment of their financial health. The chosen analytical methodology is the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) technique. Over consecutive years, the analysis reveals that five companies—namely DVLA, KLBF, MERK, PEHA, and SOHO—demonstrate consistent performance by exhibiting minimal changes in their operational status. Firms categorized as "moderate" were questioned regarding potential limitations within their existing operational growth model or external hindrances impacting their advancement. Conversely, four companies—KAEF, PYFA, SIDO, and TSPC—exhibit positive trends and amplified performance. Notably, PYFA transitions from the "very poor" category to "fair" within a year, signifying potential strategic adaptations, effective crisis management, or advantageous market circumstances. Further investigation is warranted to delve deeper into directional shifts in strategies for change and distinctive approaches to fostering growth. In stark contrast, SCPI undergoes a significant downturn, marked by a "very poor" performance rating. These significant changes significantly differ from the overall organizational performance trend, indicating possible severe internal challenges or external pressures. This research fundamentally emphasizes the various changes in organizational performance within a single year, showcasing successful and stable organizations alongside those facing declines. Moreover, the findings underscore the imperative for continual self-assessment by organizations and the necessity to adapt strategies in response to internal and external environmental dynamics. This analysis serves as an initial step towards investigating causal factors impacting organizational performance, thereby facilitating the formulation of strategies geared towards future enhancement.
Violence in Arab Children’s Literature: Themes, Psychological Insights, and Cultural Reflections
Authors: Na'amneh Mahmoud , Assadi Jamal , Sindawi Khaled
Published: February 2025

This study examines the representation of violence in Arab children’s literature, focusing on its depiction of domestic struggles, political conflict, and societal challenges, and its role in fostering emotional resilience and moral development in young readers. Through key texts such as Karma’s Eyes Are No Longer Sad, The Vulture and the Sparrow, and The Monkey and the Thief, the research investigates how these narratives address the realities of Arab-Israeli communities while reflecting cultural values and transmitting moral lessons. The central questions guiding the study are: How does Arab children’s literature portray violence, and does it perpetuate or challenge societal norms around conflict? By exploring these questions, the study evaluates the genre’s strengths—its ability to engage with complex themes and nurture empathy—alongside its limitations, such as an over-reliance on fantasy and insufficient emphasis on long-term conflict resolution. The findings underscore the genre’s dual role as a cultural artifact and a pedagogical tool, with recommendations for creating stories that better balance cultural authenticity with universal moral lessons. This research contributes to the field by offering insights into how Arab children’s literature can empower young readers and foster resilience, cultural pride, and critical thinking in the face of evolving societal challenges.

Authors: Jan Beenish , Khan Umar Ali , Khan Faheem
Published: February 2025

The present study aimed to investigate the perceptual stance of teachers regarding principal-distributed leadership practices at the secondary school level. Positivism research philosophy was applied. Thus, survey research was employed. A sample of 351 SSTs was selected from four districts (D.I. Khan, Bannu, Lakki Marwat, and Tank) by using a stratified sampling method. Yamane's (1967) formula was applied to determine the representative sample size. An adapted scale, known as the Distributed Leadership Readiness Scale (DLRS), was developed by the Connecticut Department of Education and based on Elmore's (2000). The Content Validity Index (CVI) was utilized by the researcher to evaluate the content validity, whereas the reliability of the instrument was estimated by using Cronbach's Alpha, which was estimated at .835. The researcher used an independent sample t-test, and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was applied. The result of the study indicates that male school heads engaged teachers in different school activities, such as decision-making processes, community practices, and professional development activities, compared to female school heads. The study concluded that principals who were more qualified and experienced engaged teachers in school activities as compared to those principals who were less qualified and less experienced. The study recommended that the government may arrange workshops for principals regarding distributed leadership and may try to implement it in schools to uplift the quality of education.

Futures studies in Asia Pacific: the case of Taiwan
Authors:   Universidad de Tamkang, Taiwán, Chen Kuo-Hua
Published: February 2025

Until date, studying the future has been linked mainly with economic development and the creation of wealth, but settings of the world economy and education are changing in a drastic way. Asia is emerging as an, or better said, the world centre. Taiwan is entering the critical stage of generating for the future alternatives on an environmental and cultural-spiritual level. The future studies department at the University of Tamkang in Taiwan is on a different level to the rest of the world, as it's the only university on the planet that has 'to futurize' as a mission statement. This work analyses how the fact that being a university orientated towards the future has meant being orientated towards change, and, having a clear, defined vision and strategic direction. Through a social learning process, a forward looking culture and by visioning, change and development has had a bearing in practically all strategic Taiwanese spheres. The broader context continues not just to be the teaching of future studies but also to completely 'futurize' the university, Taiwan and even mankind.
Más allá de reformas constitucionales, programas de estabilidad y planes de austeridad: capacidad de innovación en la gestión del gasto público
Authors:   Ministerio de Hacienda y Administraciones Públicas, Zapico Goñi Eduardo
Published: February 2025

Los esfuerzos de consolidación fiscal realizados por España tras la crisis de 2008 han sido considerables. Se han iniciado una serie de reformas presupuestarias materializadas básicamente en programas de estabilidad, planes de austeridad y cambios constitucionales. Pero sigue habiendo graves dificultades para reducir el déficit y la deuda publica. El Gobierno actual ha declarado su pleno compromiso con los objetivos fiscales de la Unión Europea, pero simultáneamente ha solicitado una reconsideración del ritmo de ajuste fiscal e iniciado importantes reformas estructurales. No obstante, algunas reformas horizontales de gran influencia directa en la disciplina fiscal, como la reforma de la Administración pública, no parecen estar en su agenda de debate. Tácitamente hay una convicción de que la solución esta en «menos gobierno y más empresa» y en aplicar criterios de competencia en la gestión pública, tal y como se viene haciendo sin gran éxito desde los años noventa. Apenas hay debate sobre el modelo de reforma de la administración pública que se necesita llevar a cabo en situaciones de crisis. En este artículo se exploran ideas alternativas, apoyadas en experiencias prácticas de otros países, orientadas a mejorar la capacidad de colaboración e innovación en la gestión del gasto público.
CAR-T: THE FUTURE OF IMMUNOTHERAPY.
Authors: Rosa Marcely Diner dos Reis , Gatti Luciano Lobo , Silva Douglas Fernandes
Published: February 2025

Introduction: Immunotherapy has transformed cancer treatment by leveraging historical observations of spontaneous tumor regression linked to infections. Pioneers like Fehleisen and Coley laid the groundwork for utilizing the immune system against cancer, contrasting with traditional treatments by targeting tumors with reduced side effects. Objective: This study aims to explore the efficacy of CAR-T cell therapy in cancer treatment and evaluate the role of biomedical professionals in its implementation and monitoring. CAR-T therapy involves genetically modifying a patient's T cells to enhance their ability to recognize and eliminate cancer cells, offering a promising avenue for advancing cancer treatment. Methods: The methodology involved a comprehensive review of current literature on CAR-T therapy, focusing on its structural components, mechanisms of action, clinical applications across various cancers (such as ALL, DLBCL, and MM), and associated challenges in safety and toxicity management. Results: CAR-T therapy has demonstrated significant efficacy in treating refractory leukemia and lymphomas, achieving complete remission in some cases. The therapy involves genetically modifying T cells to express chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) that target specific antigens on cancer cells. This activation triggers immune responses leading to tumor cell destruction, supported by the release of cytokines and induction of apoptosis. Despite notable successes, challenges such as cytokine release syndrome and the need for improved targeting strategies remain significant. Conclusion: CAR-T therapy represents a pivotal advancement in cancer treatment, offering personalized and effective options for patients previously resistant to conventional therapies. The ongoing evolution of CAR-T technology and collaborative efforts among researchers, healthcare providers, and regulatory bodies are crucial for enhancing its safety, efficacy, and accessibility worldwide.

Published: February 2025

Contextualization: In pandemics, measures are necessary to minimize damage and preserve lives, considering the infrastructure of health services. In these periods marked by a health crisis, social distancing is an important tool for mitigating contagion and containing the epidemic curve. However, it can disproportionately impact certain population groups. Objective: Considering the context outlined above, this investigation carried out a bioethical analysis regarding the paradox of social distancing, recommended during the COVID-19 pandemic, for elderly people with Alzheimer's and their caregivers. Methodology: This is a theoretical-reflexive study built in the field of bioethics and based on the interface between the theoretical frameworks of Protection Bioethics (BP) and the Functioning Perspective (PdF). Results: The theoretical articulation possible to understand that both from the point of view of the principle of protection and from a more inclusive justice perspective, this health measure can be conceived as paradoxical. This theoretical articulation also resulted in the description of the basic functioning of people with ADDR and their caregivers, as well as in proposing recommendations to protect this group in pandemics. Conclusion: The specific demands of this group impose an ethical commitment to a more balanced approach, which prevents disproportionate damage, protects and guarantees the integrity of these people in pandemic contexts.

Published: February 2025

The objective of this research was to investigate the benefits of playfulness in learning in the early grades of elementary school, especially regarding the construction of mathematical knowledge. The research was of a bibliographic nature, with consultation with several theorists who highlighted the importance of playful activities in the teaching of mathematics. The descriptive interpretative method was also adopted, within a qualitative approach. From the bibliographic investigation, it was found that the teaching staff presented few methodological proposals to overcome the difficulties of integrating play into the teaching of mathematics, since many still resisted adopting new methodological approaches that would make the teaching-learning process more dynamic. It is concluded that the practice of playing in the classroom promotes a constructive interaction between teacher and student, showing that play is a highly effective resource in the teaching of mathematics, if the teacher effectively uses it.

Published: February 2025

The business competitiveness is one of the most recurrent study topics in the last century and a matter of great concern in Latin American countries, given the changing conditions of the markets. This article aims to analyze the relationship between the strategic management of organizations and business competitiveness in order to validate the most significant actions that medium and small-sized enterprises in Colombia can adopt. A descriptive bibliometric analysis of publications in Scopus on strategic management and competitiveness was conducted. VosViewer was used to determine the co-occurrence between terms and authors. In the chosen database, 7,877 publications were found, of which 7,134 correspond to strategic management and 743 to business competitiveness. The data show that scientific production on strategic management was primarily concentrated in the years 2019 and 2023, with 583 and 586 publications, respectively (508 on average per year), while in business competitiveness, the years 2020 and 2021 had the highest outputs, with 75 and 77 publications, respectively (55 on average per year). At a global level, the countries with the highest productivity in publications, based on the search equations, are the United States, China, and the United Kingdom, with 320, 128, and 122 publications, respectively, during the period from 2013 to 2023, totaling 2,649 authors cited in cross-references. Thus, it is concluded that, based on the bibliometric analysis conducted in VosViewer using the search equations, co-occurrences were identified in 275 keywords across 11 clusters, which link the concepts of business competitiveness with competitive strategy, strategic resources, organizational competitive dynamics, and strategic planning. Essentially, these co-occurrences allow a holistic, systemic, and complex approach to the topic of strategic business competitiveness in the current environments faced by SMEs, characterized by unpredictability, disruption, and turbulence. The limitations identified in the development of this bibliometric analysis are based on the identification and application of a systematic literature review methodology, which enables an effective and concise bibliometric analysis. Additionally, the potential research areas that can be addressed include strategic business competitiveness, applicable to all micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises.

Authors: Kaneez Aisha  , Muhammad Talha Kausar  , Shafaq  , kanwal Saeed  , Hajra Amin  , Muhammad Hadi Mansoor
Published: February 2025

Background: In Pakistan, gall bladder related diseases like cholelithiasis impacts 10% to 15% of adults. Pain control measures remain vital in patients’ outcome improvement and the decreased use of analgesics after surgery. A locally adapted solution that will decrease pain and utilize fewer analgesics will be more helpful in limited access setting such as Pakistan where these additional resources in pain management may not be easily available. Aim: This research aims to explore the effects of saline instillation on pain relief by making comparison between postoperative pain levels and analgesic consumption patients who receive saline instillation and those who do not. Methodology: This comparative study aimed to assess the efficacy of intraperitoneal 1 liter normal saline instillation for pain management after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Data were collected from February to September 2024 at a tertiary care hospital in Punjab, Pakistan, involving 70 patients (35 males, 35 females) undergoing elective cholecystectomy. Group A (Control) received standard surgery, while Group B received saline instillation. Pain intensity was measured using the VAS scale, and statistical analysis was performed using SPSS. Results and Conclusion: This study examined the effects of 1-liter normal saline instillation after laparoscopic cholecystectomy on postoperative pain and opioid use. Results showed that saline significantly reduced pain (mean score: 2.83 vs. 6.06) and analgesic consumption (50.29 mg vs. 91.14 mg) compared to the control group, offering better pain relief and lower medication usage.

New Greek Papyri from a Cave in the Vicinity of Ein Gedi
Authors: Cohen Nahum
Published: February 2025

In this article two new Greek documentary papyri and some fragments are edited. They were found in a cave located half way up a cliff in a mountain facing the modern settlement of Ein Geddi. Along side with the papyri the archeologists excavated other findings such as arrowheads, textiles, different kinds of vessels, parts of rope baskets, and eleven Bar-Kokhba coins.
Names such as Eleazaros, Ioudas and Isidoros establish the fact that both Jews and Gentiles were involved in the activities recorded in these papyri. It seems that these documents belonged to inhabitants of the ancient village of Ein Geddi. They took refuge in the cave in the aftermath of the Bar-Kokhba war, and were probably captivated or killed by Roman soldiers. The papyri might have been written at the end of the first or the beginning of the second century CE. They probably deal with a property transaction, or a loan to be returned (no. 1), and an acquisition of some sort (no. 2).
These documents show that Jews used the Greek language not only for conducting business with Gentiles, or for legal proceedings in accordance with the demands of the Roman authorities, but also for daily correspondence among themselves. In doing so they may be considered an integral part of the multilingual society whose members dwelled in the Roman Near East.

Human rights requirements for person-based predictive policing
Authors: Warso Zuzanna
Published: February 2025

The article addresses human rights requirements for person-based predictive policing. It looks into human rights standards, as elaborated in the selected European Court of Human Rights case law on creating police databases, watchlists and registries, and the police’s use of new technologies. The article argues that in the case of new technologies deployed by law enforcement the availability of evidence on the effectiveness and accuracy of a given method should be essential to assess that an interference with a human right using this technology is ‘necessary in a democratic society’. The article notes that the Court’s unwillingness to assess the claims about the utility of technology critically might suggest that its evaluation of human rights compliance of person-based predictive policing and other experimental technologies would suffer from a severe blind spot.
Constitutionalism as a Way to Decolonize Global Data Law Development
Authors: Mittal Anushka
Published: February 2025

Data governance is being explored across all possible avenues, ranging from domestic laws, private standards to international treaties. Amidst this din, there are also constitutional contributions at different points of time with the potential to lay down the first principles for future adjudication and law making. This article analyses the legal histories of constitutions and landmark decisions related to public biometric use in India and South Africa to identify decolonial specificities. Global governance of data has the potential to spiral into international law making with states as the unit, without acknowledging the power differentials that exist within a state. It is time that the plurality of interests within nations are accommodated in the development of technology, as the architecture of the future. For the same, the article identifies global constitutionalism as the means through which any discussion of a global data law should be approached, taking into account the decolonial consensus in post-colonial states and its contemporary use in technological debates.

The Datafication of Wastewater:
Authors: Scassa Teresa , Robinson Pamela , Mosoff Ryan
Published: February 2025

Wastewater analysis and surveillance are well-established practices whose use has dramatically expanded during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this article, we argue that the extraction of diverse types of data from wastewater is part of the larger phenomenon of ‘datafication’. We explore the evolving technologies and uses of wastewater data and argue that there are insufficient legal and ethical frameworks in place to properly govern them. We begin with an overview of the different pur- poses for wastewater data analyses as well as the location and scale of collection. We then consider legal and ethical principles and oversight frameworks that shape current approaches to wastewater collection. After situating wastewater collection within its particular civic context, we argue in favour of greater engagement with legal and ethical issues and propose doing so through a civic perspective. Our paper concludes with a discussion of the normative shifts that are needed and how we might achieve these.
Explaining and Contesting Judicial Profiling Systems
Authors: Metikos Ljubisa
Published: February 2025

This paper discusses how a right to an explanation can enable litigants to contest judicial profiling systems used in the administration of justice. Providing such explanations can, however, be hindered by the technical opacity of these systems, the presence of integrity concerns, or external private rights and interests. To overcome these obstacles, this paper argues that the exercise of the right to an explanation relies on technical and organizational obligations that require developers to make profiling systems contestable by design. Based on this conceptual framework, this paper critically interprets EU Data Protection Law, the right to a fair trial, and the new AI-Act. It shows how these laws can (partially) protect contestation, as well as their limitations and loopholes.

However, research on the subject suffers from terminological inconsistency and vagueness, making it difficult to convey to policymakers when data governance succeeds and when data sharing requires regulatory intervention. The paper describes what distinguishes data intermediaries from other data governance models. Building on research on intellectual property governance, we identify two distinct types of data intermediaries, data clearinghouses and data pools. We also discover several governance models that are specific to data and not present in the context of intellectual property. We conclude that the use of more refined terminology to describe data intermediaries will facilitate more accurate research and informed policy-making on data reuse.
Are cookie banners indeed compliant with the law?
Authors: Santos Cristiana , Bielova Nataliia , Matte Célestin
Published: February 2025

In this work, we analyze the legal requirements on how cookie banners are supposed to be implemented to be fully compliant with the ePrivacy Directive and the GDPR.
Our contribution resides in the definition of 17 operational and fine-grained requirements on cookie banner design that are legally compliant, and moreover, we define whether and when the verification of compliance of each requirement is technically feasible.
The definition of requirements emerges from a joint interdisciplinary analysis composed of lawyers and computer scientists in the domain of web tracking technologies. As such, while some requirements are provided by explicitly codified legal sources, others result from the domain-expertise of computer scientists. In our work, we match each requirement against existing cookie banners design of websites. For each requirement, we exemplify with compliant and non-compliant cookie banners.
As an outcome of a technical assessment, we verify per requirement if technical (with computer science tools) or manual (with any human operator) verification is needed to assess compliance of consent and we also show which requirements are impossible to verify with certainty in the current architecture of the Web.  For example, we explain how the GDPR’s requirement for revocable consent could be implemented in practice: when consent is revoked, the publisher should delete the consent cookie and communicate the withdrawal to all third parties who have previously received consent.
With this approach we aim to support practically-minded parties (compliance officers, regulators, privacy NGOs, researchers, and computer scientists) to assess compliance and detect violations in cookie banners’ design and implementation, specially under the current revision of the EU ePrivacy framework.
Cookies and EU Law: History, Future Regulation and Critique
Authors: Tomisek Jan
Published: February 2025

Cookies and similar technologies can be used to track the online behaviour of internet users and can pose risks to their privacy and other fundamental rights. The use of cookies and similar technologies is therefore regulated by EU law. The article describes the history of EU law regulating cookies, analyses its current form and application to different technologies, and describes the proposals for the ePrivacy Regulation. Based on the analysis, it provides a critique of both the current law and the proposals and suggests ways forward in the regulation of cookies and similar technologies.
The Law and Political Economy of Online Visibility
Authors: Griffin Rachel
Published: February 2025

The paper critically assesses the regulation of social media recommendations in the EU’s 2022 Digital Services Act (DSA), drawing on Sarah Banet-Weiser’s economies of visibility theory. Banet-Weiser calls attention not only to injustices in the distribution of visibility between users, but also to the political implications of organising online media as an economy, in which individuals compete for visibility in a market structured by corporate platforms. DSA provisions on recommendations focus on enhancing user choice, protecting creators’ market access, and encouraging technocratic responses to particular negative externalities, such as promotion of disinformation. Ultimately, then, the DSA aims to enhance the functioning of existing economies of visibility, rather than more fundamentally reforming a social media market in which visibility is allocated based on commercial value.
Researching with Data Rights
Authors: Ausloos Jef , Veale Michael
Published: February 2025

The concentration and privatization of data infrastructures has a deep impact on independent research. This article positions data rights as a useful tool in researchers’ toolbox to obtain access to enclosed datasets. It does so by providing an overview of relevant data rights in the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation, and describing different use cases in which they might be particularly valuable. While we believe in their potential, researching with data rights is still very much in its infancy. A number of legal, ethical and methodological issues are identified and explored. Overall, this article aims both to explain the potential utility of data rights to researchers, as well as to provide appropriate initial conceptual scaffolding for important discussions around the approach to occur.
Fostering Consumer Protection in the Granular Market:
Authors: Davola Antonio
Published: February 2025

In the e-Commerce, companies increasingly employ data-driven technologies for the allocation and display of offers and advertising. Tailored and targeted commercial strategies incorporate data mining from artificial intelligence, self-tuning algorithms, social network and neuroscience analyses to achieve different degrees of personalization. These innovations provide companies with new ways to gain market advantage, as it is possible to study consumers broadly and personalize every aspect of the consumption experience.

Consumers exposed to such practices could fail to recognize the manipulation of their set of choices, as they may be unaware of the way in which product offers and advertisements use their habits, mental models, and biases to influence their behaviours. The result of these and related trends is not only that firms may take advantage of consumers’ lack of understanding due to cognitive limitations, but also that consumer frailty at an individual level could be revealed and triggered.

Against this backdrop, private law rules could provide meaningful normative guidance in regulating personalized commercial practices.

The article examines the role and characteristics of provisions regulating defective consent and misrepresentation to evaluate whether these rules could incorporate emerging findings on personalized practices and operate as viable instruments for the modernization of consumer protection.
Keeping up with cryptocurrencies
Authors: Fahy Lauren , Douglas Scott , Van Erp Judith
Published: February 2025

Invented in 2008 with Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies represent a radical technological innovation in finance and banking; one which threatened to disrupt the existing regulatory regimes governing those sectors. This article examines, from a reputation management perspective, how regulatory agencies framed their response. Through a content analysis, we compare communications from financial conduct regulators in the UK, US, and Australia. Despite the risks, challenges, and uncertainties involved in cryptocurrency supervision, we find regulators treat the technology as an opportunity to bolster their reputation in the immediate wake of the Global Financial Crisis. Regulators frame their response to cryptocurrencies in ways which reinforce the agency’s ingenuity and societal importance. We discuss differences in framing between agencies, illustrating how historical, political, and legal differences between regulators can shape their responses to radical innovations.
