Published: October 2024

This paper explores the correlation between managerial coaching, emotional intelligence, social support, employee resilience, and retention among healthcare workers in Malaysia's public healthcare sector. Retaining healthcare staff has become a severe difficulty in the BANI (Brittle, Anxious, Non-linear, Incomprehensible) environment, worsened by the COVID-19 epidemic. The study suggests that managerial coaching, emotional intelligence, and social support are essential for developing resilience among healthcare workers. This resilience, in turn, impacts their ability to stay in their jobs. The study will employ a quantitative cross-sectional survey approach to examine the links inside specific public hospitals in Malaysia. The results are anticipated to offer a vital understanding of how public healthcare in Malaysia can strategically improve staff resilience and retention, guaranteeing the long-term viability of the healthcare workforce in a world after the pandemic. This study enhances our comprehension of the intricate processes that impact staff retention in the public healthcare industry, providing practical implications for policymakers and healthcare managers.

Authors: Bin Wan Aziz Wan Muhd Fauzi , Said Noor Azzah
Published: October 2024

In today's dynamic work environment, understanding the impact of hybrid working on job performance is crucial. Many organizations, including FELCRA Berhad, adopted hybrid working during the COVID-19 pandemic to enhance employee efficiency and flexibility. This study explores FELCRA Berhad's job performance and satisfaction during the pandemic and evaluates the potential success of hybrid working post-pandemic. Using a quantitative research design and purposive sampling, data were collected from FELCRA Berhad employees through online and physical questionnaires. The data were analyzed with IBM SPSS Version 28 to examine the relationship between hybrid working (working conditions, work-life balance, and recognition) and job performance, with job satisfaction as a moderating factor. The results indicated a significant positive relationship between working conditions and job performance. While work-life balance and recognition showed moderate positive relationships with job performance, they were not statistically significant. Job satisfaction did not significantly moderate these relationships. However, the group effect for hybrid working remained significant across all dimensions. In conclusion, the study confirms a significant positive relationship between hybrid work conditions and job performance, providing a foundation for FELCRA Berhad to consider implementing hybrid work practices based on their direct effects on job performance.

Published: October 2024

Background and purpose: We aimed to examine the histological characteristics of vastus lateralis muscles in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) following femoral neck fractures and to explore the correlation between muscle fiber types and postoperative functional recovery.Methods: 34 patients undergoing THA for femoral neck fractures were included. A biopsy of the vastus lateralis muscle was performed during surgery, followed by immunohistochemical staining. Subsequently, image analysis was conducted to measure the average area of muscle fiber types and the number of type I and II muscle fibers, and the ratio of the area and the number of type II muscle fibers. Functional recovery was assessed 2 weeks post-surgery using the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB).Results: A significant positive correlation was observed between type II muscle fibers and SPPB scores. The ratio of type II muscle fiber area and number strongly correlated with the SPPB scores, indicating a robust static association. The average area of type II fibers showed a strong correlation (r = 0.63, P < 0.001), as did the number of type II fibers (r = 0.53, P = 0.001). Moreover, the ratio of type II muscle fiber area and number significantly correlated with SPPB scores (area: r = 0.77, P < 0.001; number: r = 0.51, P = 0.002), indicating that larger and more numerous type II fibers are associated with better physical performance.Conclusion: The reduction of type II muscle fibers was strongly correlated with a low SPPB postoperative functional recovery in patients who underwent THA following femoral neck fractures.

The rapid change of times made foreign languages necessary in the era of the Industrial Revolution 4.0, including German, which is taught in formal education. German language learning faces challenges due to the difference in grammatical systems between German (inflectional language) and Indonesian (agglutinative language). This difficulty often causes boredom and a lack of enthusiasm for learning. This research aims to create an A2-level German language learning media through Learning app. org-based quizzes. This development study uses the educational design research (EDR) method. The subjects involved in this research are one material expert and one media expert. The data collection methods used were interviews, observations, and questionnaires, and the instrument used was a questionnaire sheet. After the data was collected, it was analyzed using descriptive qualitative and quantitative data analysis methods. The results showed that based on validation data provided by material and media experts, the material achieved a validation score of 90%. This indicates that the material is suitable for learning media and falls into the Very Good category. In addition, the validation conducted by Learningapp.org resulted in a final percentage of 92.85%, confirming that Learningapp.org media is suitable for use in the Very Good category. So, Learningapp.org media is ideal for use. This research is expected to help learners expand morphology, building sentences, and improve syntactic understanding interactively.
A moda enquanto espaço da escrita para Júlia Lopes de Almeida
Authors: Suriani da Silva Ana Cláudia
Published: October 2024

This article aims to examine the intersection between fashion journalism and the mainstream press through the column “A moda” by Júlia Lopes de Almeida, published under the pseudonym Ecila Worms in the newspaper O País (RJ, 1834-1934), between 24 February 1892 and 16 August 1901. I examine how Almeida balanced references to everyday life in Rio de Janeiro with self-references taken from fashion periodicals to construct a dual reality, as suggested by Niklas Luhmann (1886). Moreover, I explore the role of the physical space in her writing. The view from her window, along with the objects on her writing desk – particularly printed and handwritten materials – served as a rich source of inspiration for the texts in “A moda”. I argue that the physical space of her writing, together with the fashion publications circulating in Rio de Janeiro at the beginning of the 20th century, provided the writer with a new perspective for exploring the intersection between domestic and public spaces in the Brazilian crônica.

Authors: Fadilah Ahmad Arif , Ahmad Dwi Nur Fauziah
Published: October 2024

The principle of legality is the most basic principle in the application of material criminal law. The principle of legality adhered to in Indonesian criminal law was originally the principle of formal legality. Meanwhile, in the renewal of criminal law embodied in the National Criminal Code, the principle of legality adopted also includes the principle of material legality. This article aims to analyze the expansion of the legality principle in the renewal of Indonesian criminal law and understand the meaning of the expansion of the legality principle. This article was written using a normative legal research method with a statutory approach. The result of this study is that the expansion of the legality principle in criminal law renewal is an effort to balance the fulfillment of legal objectives between legal certainty in the formal legality principle and justice in the material legality principle.

Does climate policy uncertainty influence the corporate cost of debt?
Authors: Zheng Pengju , Cui Jun , Xiao Bona
Published: October 2024

This paper employs a sample of Chinese A-share listed companies spanning from 2011 to 2022 to empirically investigate the influence of climate policy uncertainty on the corporate cost of debt, based on the theory of financial friction. We find that climate policy uncertainty significantly increases the corporate cost of debt, and the result is supported by robustness tests. To avoid biases arisen from endogeneity, this paper introduces an instrumental variable approach and propensity score matching method for verification. The endogeneity test results support the baseline regression results as well. Finally, this paper also discovers that financing constraints are the potential mechanism behind the impact of climate policy uncertainty on the corporate cost of debt.
Realization of environmentally friendly behaviours in sports from the point of view of managers and organizers
Authors: Kiani Mohammad saeid , Nazari Leila
Published: October 2024

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to realize environmentally friendly behaviors in sports from the point of view of managers and organizers of sports events. Methodology: In order to collect data, a 4-part researcher-made questionnaire including 40 questions was used. The face and content validity was confirmed by a survey of related faculty members, and its reliability was reported using Cronbach's alpha of 0.83. The statistical sample of the research consists of managers and organizers of sports events in ten provinces of the country. After distributing the questionnaires, finally 254 questionnaires were returned. Results: Data analysis was done using Amos and SPSS-19 software. Pearson's correlation coefficient and path analysis were used to test hypotheses, and bootstrap method was used to test indirect relationships (mediation). The proposed model was also tested to investigate the relationships between the factors. The results showed that the three factors of environmental awareness, perception of environmental effects, and the intention to support green sports events affect the actual environmental friendly behavior. Also, the results showed that the variable that intends to support green sports events plays a role as a mediating variable and the extent of the impact of environmental awareness and perception on the actual environmentally friendly behavior is caused by the intention to support green sports events. Conclusions: Based on the proposed research model, the environmentally friendly behaviors of sports event organizers and managers and their intention to protect green sports events are largely influenced by their knowledge and understanding of environmental issues. It seems that understanding the basic factors affecting people's actual and supportive behaviors towards green sports is necessary to promote environmental behavior.
Analysis of differentially expressed genes related to cell death in porcine kidney-15 cells at 24 and 48 hours post porcine parvovirus infection
Authors: Lu Tingting , Song Xinghui , Zhao Li , Ma Xia
Published: October 2024

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to identify and characterize differentially expressed genes (DEGs) associated with porcine parvovirus (PPV)-induced cell death in porcine kidney-15 (PK-15) cells. By analyzing the biological processes enriched by these DEGs and exploring their interaction networks, we aim to gain a deeper understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying PPV-mediated cell death.

METHODS

After infecting cultured PK-15 cells with PPV for 24 and 48 hours, cell viability and cysteine-requiring aspartate protease-3 (caspase-3) activity were assessed using an enzyme marker. Apoptosis was observed using fluorescence microscopy. The genome-wide gene expression levels were analyzed through RNA sequencing. The functional enrichment of DEGs was analyzed using the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes database, and the protein-protein interaction network was generated using the Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes/Proteins database.

RESULTS

Porcine parvovirus inhibits cell viability, boosts caspase-3 activity, and enhances cell death at 24 and 48 hours postinfection (HPI). Porcine parvovirus–infected cells showed 547 DEGs at 24 HPI and 1,765 at 48 HPI. Different forms of cell death were enriched in 149 genes that were upregulated at both 24 and 48 HPI. More DEGs associated with cell death were involved at 48 than at 24 HPI. These DEGs are involved in multiple signaling pathways and interact within a complex protein network.

CONCLUSIONS

Porcine parvovirus infection of PK-15 cells induces multiple cell death–related DEGs and signaling pathways.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Our study presents a promising approach to investigating the mechanism of PPV infection, with a particular focus on the induction of cell death.

Published: October 2024

Root-knot nematodes (RKNs) are the most destructive nematode species in main pistachio cultivation areas of Iran, and adversely affect crop quality and yield. So far, Meloidogyne incognita and M. javanica have been reported infecting pistachio. In this study, four populations of M. arenaria were found infecting pistachio in Kerman and Khorasan Razavi provinces. The morphology and morphometrics of the recovered populations closely match the data given for other populations of the species. Molecular characterization of the recovered populations was performed by sequencing three genomic and mitochondrial regions, including D2-D3 of LSU rDNA, COII-16S and Nad5 mtDNA. The D2-D3 sequences had more than 99% identity with many sequences of tropical species. The COII-16S sequences had more than 99% identity with sequences of M. arenaria, M. morocciensis and M. thailandica. The Nad5 sequences had 99.81% identity with some sequences of M. arenaria. The D2-D3 and COII-16S sequences of M. arenaria did not form independent clades in corresponding Bayesian trees, but Nad5 sequences formed a monophyletic group in corresponding phylogeny. Based on this study, M. arenaria is present in Iran’s pistachio gardens, necessitating appropriate management measures.

Citizen participation in the local sustainable development: the Italian metropolitan cities context
Authors:   Tor Vergata University of Rome, CHIPER Ribana Andreea , FIORANI Gloria ,   Tor Vergata University of Rome
Published: October 2024

The challenges to achieving sustainable development are multiple and complex. They require profound changes in culture, lifestyle, actions, and attitudes. According to scholars and normative indications, strong collaboration between all the stakeholders in society holds a fundamental role in establishing a more equitable and sustainable society. Indeed, Italian public institutions, at the national and local levels, are increasingly aware that the sustainable transition path requires the involvement and engagement of civil society. In that sense, the participation of civil society in governance and policy-making processes aims to strengthen the relationship between local institutions and citizens, introducing a fundamental paradigm shift towards multi-level collaboration. Therefore, the paper intends to investigate the extent of public participation of citizens in strategic planning for metropolitan sustainable development (local level). The analysis, conducted from the secondary sources developed by the sample, identified the engagement practices adopted by each of the 14 Italian metropolitan cities to assess the state of the art and establish similarities and differences concerning the engagement levels found in the literature. Although almost all have undertaken a citizen engagement process, this research demonstrates that only approximately half of the sample have highly promoted engagement-intensive forms, highlighting a total lack of use of the recursive approach, in which the citizen is an integral part of sustainability strategies.
Power to the people: the impact of populist rhetoric on financial inclusion
Authors:   Bucharest University of Economic Studies, DĂNESCU Florin , DĂNESCU Victor-Ioan ,   London School of Economics and Political Science, SÎRBU Sorina ,   Bucharest University of Economic Studies
Published: October 2024

The complexity of economies and economics blurs the impact of political decisions on welfare. Political decision-making behavior has become a strong driver for economies, relying ever-larger on the so-called “political willpower” to the detriment of economic rationality. As days go by, economic independence has been more and more weakened by political freedom. The growth of populism as the common rhetoric makes populism an instrument used increasingly by left-wing and right-wing politicians alike; furthermore, it is increasingly unclear whether populism is rejected or embraced. This study highlights the linkage between politics (represented by populism) and the economy (represented here by its financial component). Overwhelmingly, financial markets depend on the creation of perceptions and the level of trust between demand and supply. But, creating perceptions differs from reality; the drop in confidence between elites and the people is the main instrument used in populist rhetoric. The Global Party Survey, a survey with global coverage incorporating innovative methods for quantifying populism, allows us to contemplate the linkage between populism and banking - represented in our study by a demand component, i.e., financial inclusion obtained from the GlobalFindex2021. Processing is based on multilinear regressions with control variables such as the region fixed effects and the indicators of cultural differences. This gives us relevant and significant conclusions about the negative impact of populism on financial inclusion. Populism is not about people’s power or welfare but rather about an increasing lack of trust generated by promises impossible to keep. These promises do not lead to enhanced financial inclusion but rather to its slowing down, stoppage, or reduction by means of financial self-exclusion.

Nowadays, universities represent laboratories through which to develop and transmit good practices and knowledge necessary to speed up the transition to sustainable development. The approach to sustainability, which finds expression in the missions (teaching, research, and third mission) pursued and in the governance models adopted, guarantees universities the possibility of assuming an elective role in spreading sustainable logic. This orientation toward sustainability paradigms within the academic context has contextually prompted universities to equip themselves with accountability tools to respond to the resulting demand for stakeholder information concerning these issues. The purpose of this paper is to assess how Italian state universities report on sustainability through appropriate reporting documents and, at the same time, communicate it through their websites. In particular, the authors compare how and to what extent sustainability is communicated through institutional websites versus more traditional sustainability reports. The study found that 51 percent of universities in the sample have had at least one sustainability reporting document in place since 2015. However, the analysis shows that alongside such accounting practices, most universities (68 percent) use a dedicated sustainability webpage as an additional tool for disseminating sustainable approaches. The results of this study may encourage Italian universities to identify their status regarding the sustainable accountability processes implemented, enabling them to have a more conscious and responsible orientation concerning the strategies to be undertaken with a view to sustainability communication.

The goal of the EU's Digital Compass from its Digital Decade is to reach a significant degree of digital engagement, ensuring inclusion for all. This fresh initiative places SMEs at the heart of digital change, recognizing them as key innovators. The adoption level of digital transformative technologies with radical innovation impact still needs to be higher at the European level and far behind Romania compared to the US and China. We apply a simplified multivariate analysis to visualize the normative distance to European Commission Digital Compass targets for 2030 of the Romanian SMS and generate possible trajectories toward achieving these (targets). The most significant findings indicate that for Romanian SMS, Artificial intelligence is a top priority in terms of normative distance toward the EU 27’s 2030 targets of digital transformation of businesses. A national program should fill the funding gap and support enterprises in adopting and using at least one of the AI technologies with radical, disruptive innovation quality. Romania has the best relative perspective for performance, given double the number of startups unicorns. Our addition to existing literature outlines potential paths for Romanian companies to expedite and align with the digital transformation process. We focus on categorizing transformative technologies like Cloud computing, AI, and Big Data in terms of their progression rate and speed.

Enhancing State-owned assets could be an excellent strategy for the policymakers to converge on the goals promoted by the 2030 Agenda. State-owned assets play a critical role in a nation's socioeconomic progress. To achieve sustainable development, governments must adopt a multifaceted approach. This involves optimizing asset management by reducing waste, improving efficiency, and enhancing accountability. Furthermore, investment in eco-friendly technologies and sustainable practices can reduce environmental impact. Leveraging state assets to foster economic growth, create employment opportunities, and address social needs aligns with sustainability principles, ultimately contributing to a more equitable and environmentally responsible future for current and future generations. This approach considers the interconnectedness of economic, social, and environmental factors, enabling holistic strategies that optimize resource allocation, promote innovation, and ensure long-term viability, thereby advancing both economic growth and environmental stewardship. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate (with a System Thinking Model) that the public policy maker (State, Region, Municipality, etc.-owned asset) can incentivize the local economy towards sustainable development (SDGs-Agenda 2030) using systemic managerial logic (System Thinking and System Dynamics). The model proposed systematically represents the virtuous circle created by the Valorisation policy of State-owned assets. It is based on the project of Valorisation of Frascati-owned assets, promoted by a Public-Public Partnership (Municipality of Frascati, University of Rome "Tor Vergata" - Master II Level-Reporting Innovation Sustainability- Maris, State Property Agency). This model proposes a simple and intuitive multidimensional tool for the policy maker (Government, Municipality, Region, etc.). The because highlights the virtuous circles which, based on the 5P-NSDSS, lead to the creation of local (National) sustainable development, co-operating towards the SDGs (Agenda 2030).

Published: October 2024

Organizations confronted with the challenges of globalization and the development of a global labor market, with an economic environment in a permanent change, in which information and technological knowledge evolve and become obsolete very rapidly, must face these new challenges to maintain competitiveness and efficiency. In the knowledge economy, competitive advantage is based on recruitment, training, retaining talented employees, and maintaining increased job satisfaction, some of the most critical aspects contributing to keeping valuable employees within the organization. Job satisfaction is a key factor contributing to the turnover intention reduction of the most talented workers. Increasing the employee’s job satisfaction level also contributes to leveraging their efficiency, supporting the organization to achieve its goals. Job satisfaction (found in the literature also under work satisfaction) is a topic researched for over a century. Research on this concept was developed in the last part of the previous century and this century, given that increasing employee job satisfaction is very important in the knowledge economy. The study proposes to investigate the relationship between job satisfaction (the main concept), turnover intention, and talent management. We’ve performed a literature review and bibliometric analysis based on job satisfaction and talent management. After performing the literature review and the bibliometric analysis, we’ve concluded that there are strong relationships between job satisfaction, turnover intentions, and talent management.

In recent decades, businesses worldwide have shifted their mindset towards a more customer-centric approach, as customers are essential to business existence. In the publishing sector, where there are diverse types of customers, authors are crucial not only for the business's continuity but also for product creation and development. They become business partners for publishing houses, accompanying them at each step of the publishing process. Ensuring authors' satisfaction leads to long-term business relationships that foster mutual growth. Such partnerships result in gains and benefits for both parties, for instance, trust, reliability, consistency, shared resources, brand development, specific knowledge and expertise, personalization, and customization, among others. This paper assesses Romanian authors' perceptions regarding their business relationship with publishers. The study aims to determine how satisfied the authors are with the partnership and what future improvements they would like to see. Various aspects linked to customer satisfaction are investigated, including financial matters, loyalty, communication, selling and distribution, marketing, end-product quality, and overall satisfaction with the experience. To measure customer satisfaction, the survey uses the Net Promoter Score (NPS) model along with open-ended questions to gain insights. This research can be helpful for authors who wish to publish their works with local publishing houses. They can gain valuable insights into the publishing process by analyzing the perspective of experienced authors. It can also benefit publishing houses by identifying their strengths and areas that need improvement in building business relationships with authors. Ultimately, it aims to enhance the academic understanding of this topic, contributing to the growth and modernization of the Romanian publishing sector.

Authors:   National University of Political Studies and Public Administration, PATRUTI Petra
Published: October 2024

The Fast Fashion industry is a highly polluting industry generating much concern in the academic world. The paper maps the global sustainable trends in the fast fashion market found in 2 databases, Scopus and Web of Science, from January 2000 till July 2023 and contains a literature review of these trends and dimensions. The fact that we want to offer a complex view of the actual trends in the global fashion industry reflects our research gap, which may significantly impact tomorrow's sustainability. The trends are also further discussed and addressed and will be of high value as they better understand the barriers to adopting these sustainable trends on larger scales, leading practitioners to announce proactive solutions for a better and more sustainable future. From a theoretical point of view, we want to expand the knowledge of what the sustainability of the fashion industry on a global level can look like based on different components and dimensions. Similarities were found in analyzing the trend from the two databases as general directions for the international trends.
