Published: January 2025

The ability to precisely measure photopolymerization kinetics is paramount to controlling curing characteristics and material properties in photocurable systems. However, traditional methods to measure kinetics, such as Fourier- transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), are often limited by broadening mechanisms intrinsic to the system and poor spectral resolution. In this work, we present an in situ NMR spectroscopy technique to monitor bulk photopolymerization reactions wherein the polymer system is separated from the locking solvent via a capillary insert and photoexcited using an LED-coupled fiber optic. This technique allows for the purity of the reaction to be preserved while also benefiting from the high spectral resolution and rich chemical information offered by NMR. Rate constants (kp’) and ultimate monomer conversion are determined for four systems: (a) neat hexyl acrylate, (b) isobornyl methacrylate, (c) N,N-dimethylacrylamide, and (d) hexyl acrylate in the presence of a crosslinking species. By observing kinetic data of simple photopolymer systems, this work demonstrates the utility of in situ NMR photopolymerization as a complementary technique to conventional FTIR for the kinetic monitoring of photopolymer materials.

Published: January 2025

Objective: To retrieve, evaluate, and summarize the best evidence for puncture management during the early initiation stage of autologous arteriovenous fistula (AVF) in hemodialysis patients, providing a reference for clinical nursing practice. Method: Following the “6S” pyramid model system, evidence on puncture management during the initiation stage of AVF in hemodialysis patients was retrieved from domestic and international databases. The search included clinical decision-making tools, guidelines, evidence summaries, systematic reviews, and expert consensus. The retrieval period spanned from database inception to January 2023. Four researchers screened the literature, performed quality evaluations, and extracted and integrated the evidence. Results: A total of nine articles were included, comprising one clinical decision, five guidelines, one evidence summary, one systematic review, and one expert consensus. The evidence encompassed 18 key points across six areas: team building and personnel training, timing of initial puncture, pre-puncture evaluation, puncture methods, post-puncture pressure management, and management of puncture-related complications. Conclusion: Blood purification nursing staff should combine clinical scenarios with evidence-based medicine to adopt scientific, effective, and feasible puncture management strategies during the early initiation stage of AVF. This approach aims to better safeguard the patient’s vascular access and overall treatment outcomes.

Published: January 2025

Objective: To compare the hemodynamic stability of etomidate and remimazolam during painless gastroscopy and evaluate the safety of remimazolam in elderly patients undergoing gastroscopy. Methods: A total of 100 elderly patients aged 65–80 years, with American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status I–II, who underwent painless gastrointestinal endoscopy were included in this study. The patients were randomly assigned to receive either 0.2 mg/kg of remimazolam (Group R) or 0.3 mg/kg of etomidate (E group) in combination with alfentanil for anesthesia induction. Results: The mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) were significantly higher in the E group compared to Group R (P < 0.05). Ephedrine was administered more frequently in the Group R (30%) than in the Group E (10%), with a statistically significant difference (P = 0.023). The incidence of myoclonus was markedly lower in the Group R (0%) compared to the Group E (60%, P < 0.01). Conclusion: During gastroenteroscopy with alfentanil, remimazolam was associated with lower MAP and HR compared to etomidate. Patients receiving remimazolam experienced a higher incidence of post-induction hypotension. Nonetheless, the safety and efficacy of remimazolam were comparable to those of etomidate, supporting its suitability as a sedative for ASA I–II elderly patients undergoing gastrointestinal endoscopy.

Published: January 2025

In recent years, the academic community has continued to explore effective methods to promote wound healing and prevent scar hyperplasia. This research area is both challenging and has attracted significant attention. Wound healing is a complex and orderly process involving the precise coordination of various growth factors, inflammatory cells, and repair cells. To optimize this intricate process, researchers have developed a series of innovative synthetic dressings designed to improve the wound healing environment. Among these dressings, the natural polymer chitosan has emerged as a preferred material due to its cost-effectiveness, renewable nature, and exceptional biocompatibility and biodegradability, as demonstrated in the biomedical field, particularly in the area of wound dressings.

Objective: To explore the application and effectiveness of PDCA cycle management in outpatient blood collection room management. Methods: A total of 80 patients in the outpatient blood collection room of the hospital from June 2023 to June 2024 were selected as the study subjects and randomly divided into a control group and an observation group, with 40 patients in each group. The control group implemented conventional nursing management, while the observation group implemented PDCA cycle management on top of routine care. Blood collection outcomes, the incidence of disputes, adverse reactions, blood collection waiting times, nursing quality, and patient satisfaction were compared between the two groups. Results: The observation group showed significantly better blood collection outcomes compared to the control group, with a higher success rate of venipuncture (P < 0.05). The total incidence of adverse reactions in the observation group was notably lower than in the control group (P < 0.05). Additionally, the observation group exhibited shorter blood collection waiting times, higher nursing quality scores, and greater patient satisfaction, with all differences showing high statistical significance (P < 0.001). Conclusion: The application of PDCA cycle management in the outpatient blood collection room demonstrated remarkable effectiveness. By leveraging the cycle of planning, execution, checking, and action, it optimized blood collection processes, improved efficiency and service quality, and enhanced patient satisfaction, making it highly worthy of clinical promotion and application.

Published: January 2025

Objective: To explore an intervention strategy for patients with fluid overload undergoing maintenance hemodialysis and to evaluate the effects of the LEARNS model on improving self-care agency and patient compliance. Methods: A total of 76 patients with fluid overload undergoing maintenance hemodialysis at our hospital from March 2023 to March 2024 were selected for the study. Patients were randomly divided into two groups, with 38 in each group. The control group received conventional interventions, while the observation group was treated using the LEARNS model. Self-care agency, compliance, and quality of life outcomes in both groups were analyzed and compared. Results: Before the intervention, no statistically significant differences were observed in the self-care agency scores between the two groups (P > 0.05). After the intervention, patients’ self-care agency improved significantly, with the observation group showing notably higher scores than the control group (P < 0.05). Patient compliance in the observation group was also significantly higher than in the control group (P < 0.05). Quality of life, assessed using the SF-36 scale, showed no significant differences between the two groups prior to intervention (P > 0.05). After the intervention, quality of life scores improved significantly in both groups, with the observation group exhibiting significantly higher scores than the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The LEARNS model is effective in improving patient compliance, enhancing self-care agency, and improving quality of life in maintenance hemodialysis patients with fluid overload, making it a promising approach for broader application.

La critique de l’ironie, caractéristique de l’antimoderne ? Antoine de Saint Exupéry et l’ironie des «cancres»
Authors: Goutaudier Amélie
Published: January 2025

This article examines Antoine de Saint Exupéry's anti-modern, anti-ironic positions, whose writings castigate the irony of a suspicious attitude towards customs, ceremonial and, more generally, tradition. It proposes to identify the targets of Exupéry's criticism, these «dunces» or these «ink spitters» – Camus, Sartre, the surrealists – and to measure how this ideological tension participates in Saint Exupéry's anti-modernism (based on the work of Antoine Compagnon).
„Wszyscy wolą kiedy jest po równo”. Opieka naprzemienna z perspektywy dzieci
Authors: Reimann Maria
Published: January 2025

In April 2022, the Polish Children’s Ombudsman publicly addressed the Minister of Justice, demanding changes in family law regarding child custody post-parental separation. The Ombudsman pointed out the lack of a legal definition of joint physical custody (JPC) and suggested there should be a clear definition and associated regulation. The Ombudsman’s address is one part of the debate on JPC that has recently emerged in Poland. Politicians, mothers, and fathers are actively engaged in the debate, with each of their voices well represented. Both supporters and opponents of joint physical custody claim that their main concern is the best interest of the child. However, no attempts have been made to listen to children’s opinions about custodial arrangements.
This article is based on interviews with 23 children living in JPC. I asked the children about their everyday experience of home and belonging and their relationships with their parents, siblings, and parents’ new partners. I also asked their opinions on how custodial arrangements should be made to suit them. The interviewees complained about the inconvenience of frequent moves but also stated that living with their mother and father interchangeably allowed them to be as close to each of the parents as they desired. For this reason, the interviewees considered JPC a preferable solution after divorce.
Archaeological Findings of the 16th–17th Centuries from the Town of Trypillia and Its Historical Topography
Authors: Videiko Mariia
Published: January 2025

The article analyses the informative potential of archaeological materials of the 16–17th centuries from the territory of the town of Trypillia to reconstruct its historical topography. The available data from written sources are limited and insufficiently specific, with only brief mentions of structures such as a castle and religious buildings. Information regarding the city’s development and its components is reduced to general quantitative information. Iconographic sources for this period consist of maps, which offer a rather schematic representation of the town’s layout. The materials related to historical topography were collected over the past twenty years through archaeological excavations and donations from local residents to the Kyiv Regional Archaeological Museum. The collection comprises over fifteen hundred items, each with documented find locations. These include predominantly ceramic fragments and stove tiles, as well as tools, traces of craft production, bricks, nails, and other items. The analysis of this assemblage demonstrates that archaeological sources are crucial in providing concrete details to supplement and clarify the existing textual references. Furthermore, they help refine the boundaries of the inhabited area during this period. Archaeological materials, when integrated with the full range of available sources — written, iconographic, and archaeological — are key to forming a comprehensive understanding of the town.

Authors: Klepak Alina
Published: January 2025

The aim of this article is to conduct a comprehensive study of the publications of the journal «Volnoe Kazachestvo — Vilne Kozatstvo» from 1927 to 1939, which facilitates a deeper understanding of both the historical context and the cultural and social processes occurring in Ukraine. To achieve this goal, content analysis and discourse analysis methods were employed. This approach allows for an in-depth examination of the article content to identify key arguments, ideological stances, rhetorical and linguistic strategies used by the authors to influence readers’ consciousness and shape their views. For the first time, a thorough investigation of the journal’s editorial policy in covering events in Ukrainian territories has been conducted, including the use of specific narratives, symbols, and arguments. It has been established that in the special section “In Ukraine” during the first two years, the editorial staff of the publication examined the consequences of the Ukrainian Revolution, the impact of communist rule on villages and cities, issues of famine, political repression, and terror, highlighting the deterioration of living conditions and the rise of nationalist sentiments among the population. It is noted that particular attention was given in the pages of the publication to topics of Ukrainization and Russification, as well as their effects on the cultural and intellectual elite of Ukraine. It has been determined that a distinctive feature of the journal was the publication of works by Ukrainian creative intellectuals, reflecting national ideals and Cossack traditions, as well as notes that highlighted the development and support of literary initiatives aimed at preserving Cossack heritage.
“He Didn’t Follow the Usual Path of a Narrow Specialist…”: A Contribution to the Biography of Vasyl Maslov (1885–1959)
Authors: Budzar Maryna
Published: January 2025

Documentary collections of Ukrainian scholars remain an important source for researching the biographies of both individual figures and entire museum curator, and ethnographer Vasyl Maslov enables a more detailed analysis of one of the least studied periods in the scholar’s life: his time in Kyiv during the Nazi occupation of the city. For this publication, the scholar’s autobiography, dated November 1941, and a review of his scientific work authored by Natalia Polonska-Vasylenko, dated October 1942, were selected. The methods employed to integrate these sources into scholarly discourse include comparative analysis, attribution, and source chronology. This approach allows for an examination of the documents within their historical context. Maslov’s autobiography was analyzed through comparison with similar texts written under different conditions and at other times. Polonska-Vasylenko’s essay on Maslov’s body of work was studied as a conceptual text. The author presented the scholar’s contributions across various fields of humanities as a result of interdisciplinary research. Both sources aid in understanding Vasyl Maslov’s work as a scholar whose life bridged the experience of imperial-era academic science with the practices of new Ukrainian humanities amidst the Sovietization of Ukraine. The publication of these documents is complemented by visual sources, including photographs taken during the period discussed in the autobiography and the review.

Authors: Klymenko Ninel
Published: January 2025

This paper, based on archival sources, highlights the period of Anastasia Grinchenko’s life during her social and political activities in Kyiv (1905 — April 1907). Her activities as a member of the Revolutionary Ukrainian Party (RUP) among Kyiv clerks and workers in the iconography shop, as well as her participation in workers’ masses, so-called «birzhas» (“exchanges”), are considered. The author reveals her political activity in the factory districts of Kyiv and the creation of workers’ clubs, where she spread political ideology of changes in the social order, promoted a vision of the future social order and the ways to achieve it. The paper highlights her activities in cooperation with fellow party members, search for new ways of struggle to change the social order. It has been found out that during this period Anastasia Grinchenko worked closely with Levko Yurkevych, a well-known Ukrainian social democrat and writer. It is examined their collaboration and mutual influences on the understanding and definition of forms and methods of working with the peasant proletariat and building party centers. Some aspects of the Ukrainian socialist movement are highlighted. The translation activity of Anastasiia Grinchenko related to the works of foreign writers is examined in terms of its contribution to the discussion of eternal social issues related to such values as human dignity, human rights, responsibility for committed crimes, happiness, love, family, and moral perfection.

The impact of foreign policy events, as well as the policies of the Central Powers and later the Entente, in delaying the full-scale repatriation of Ukrainian POWs is also explored. The article analyses various stages of repatriation, evacuation routes, and the living conditions of Ukrainian POWs during this period using descriptive, problem-oriented, chronological, and historical-comparative methods.
From the Newsletters on the Initial Period of War between the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and the Ottoman Empire in 1672–1676
Authors: Mytsyk Yurii
Published: January 2025

In this article, the author examines the newsletters (news, vouchers, information, relays, etc) related to the first year of the Polish-Turkish war in 1672–1676. These documents served as contemporary newspapers, and were more numerous than printed works in terms of both quantity and efficiency. They allow us to reveal the details of the events in the first half of 1672 (before the fall of Kamianets-Podilskyi), during which the Ottoman Empire’s vassals — the Crimean Khanate, Moldova, and Wallachia — were actively engaged. At the same time, they vividly reflect the difficult situation in the Right-Bank Hetmanate, which was forced to fight the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, the Muscovy, and the Ottoman Empire, which led to the outbreak of internecine struggle. Furthermore, the military and political situation in Podillia and unknown facts about the activities of Hetmans Petro Doroshenko, Mykhailo Khanenko, and colonels (Ivan Sirko, Lysytsia, Kyiashko, and others) are presented. It should be noted that, despite the undoubted positive aspects, newsletters have certain drawbacks that affected the degree of their reliability. First of all, this is the use of rumors, unverified second-hand information, although it was not always possible to verify the information received.
A Features of modern victim behavio
Authors:   Stavropol branch of the Krasnodar University of the  Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, Rubanov Vladimir A.
Published: January 2025

The article makes the author’s attempt to highlight the problem of the features of victim behavior on the example of the past and present. Victimology is a relatively young discipline that studies victimhood, the causes and consequences of crime, and society’s response to victims and their needs. At present, the problems associated with it excite the public, and they become the subject of study by scientists of various scientific specialties - teachers, psychologists, sociologists and some others. The author believes that victimhood and, especially, adolescence is certainly dangerous for society in itself, but, to a much greater extent, it is dangerous because over time, since youth is such a “disadvantage” that passes very quickly, we get a society that professes tolerance and non-resistance to evil. The article concludes that in the psychological and pedagogical analysis of this social phenomenon, it is advisable to distinguish passive and active victimity, i.e. the behavior of potential and real victims of violence, and the task of the family and educational institutions is to prepare students for an active rebuff to their offenders.
About some aspects and nuances of translation from French into Russian
Authors:   North Ossetian State University named after K.L. Khetagurov, Sidakova Nelly V.
Published: January 2025

Translation has been traditionally an object of linguistic research. A command of translation literacy is a crucial condition and a task for the translator. Translation as a search for semantic equivalence presupposes a high level of professional linguistic competence, a sufficient set of expertise in the required field, and an intensive research of the sphere whose scope the translated material covers. Therein lies the linguistic culture combining creativity, a sense of language and its stylistic colouring and unconditional knowledge of the Russian language and its specificity. To be professionally literate means to be able to adequately transfer the content, meaning and subtleties of the source material to the target language. The translator’s weakening the stylistic colouring or substituting the modified expressive means can often lead to a change in the expressiveness of a particular segment of the text, and possibly, of the content. Our study examines some aspects and nuances of translation from French into Russian, actualizes the issue of using Russian lexical and phraseological units which are equivalent and unequal in meaning. Over the centuries, the French language has not lost its characteristic clarity and precision, therefore the result of a qualified translation is the preservation of the authentic style, terminology and colour.
Public organizations in the Soviet political system in 1920-1930: model of interaction (on the example of Ossetia)
Authors: Batagova L.Kh.
Published: January 2025

The article examines the interaction of Soviet government agencies with public organizations in the 1920s and 1930s. The author analyzes specific mechanisms and forms of state-public relations based on a wide range of archival documents introduced into scientific circulation for the first time. The article reveals the distinctive features of the Soviet model of interaction between the authorities and public associations, which are conditioned by the socio-economic and political nature of the Soviet system. The one-party political regime, the elimination of private ownership of the main means of production, the nationalization of the entire financial and industrial sector, and the class approach to the social sphere formed the basis for interaction in which the state played a leading role. The authorities organized, managed, and controlled public initiatives. The author analyzes the interaction between the state and public organizations using the example of Osoaviakhim (Society for Assistance to Defense and Aviation-Chemical Construction). Extensive archival material shows how increased control over the activities of public organizations contributed to their transformation into an appendage of the state governance system. The author comes to the conclusion that despite the costs and shortcomings, the model of interaction between the state and public organizations in the specific historical conditions of the Soviet system of the 1920s-30s demonstrated its relevance, expediency and effectiveness. Numerous societies and unions gave the opportunity to broad layers of workers to raise their educational level and to join the achievements of culture. They became a form of personal self-realization for millions of Soviet citizens.
Statistical Assessment of the Development of the Regional Higher Education System

Published: January 2025

The radical restructuring of the higher education system that began in the Russian Federation, which began after the proposal of Russian President Vladimir Putin to withdraw from the Bologna system, requires a detailed analysis of the current state of the domestic system of highly qualified personnel training. This article presents the results of a study aimed at assessing the state of the higher education system of the Republic of Mordovia. The analysis was carried out for 2010-2022. During this period, the main characteristics of the higher education system in this region, following the all-Russian trend, decreased, which is mainly due to the course of demographic processes (the Republic of Mordovia occupies the penultimate place in the country in terms of fertility). Mordovia traditionally belongs to the number of subjects of the Russian Federation characterized by a large number of university students, correlated with the population of the region (in 2022, the region ranked 11th in the Russian Federation). And this indicator has been increasing over the years.
The material and technical base of regional universities is constantly being strengthened. The equipment of Mordovian universities with computer technology is higher than in many Russian regions and even world-class Russian scientific and educational centers. The level of education of residents of the Republic of Mordovia is traditionally higher than that of the Russian population as a whole, and with the years the proportion of the population with higher education increases. However, this cannot be said about the citizens employed in the regional economy – the structural share of highly qualified personnel in the number of people employed in the economy of the Republic of Mordovia is not only lower than in the Russian economy as a whole, but also significantly decreased in 2010-2022. This indicates the reproduction of the archaic structure of the regional economy, the insufficient number of modern jobs requiring higher education from the performer. Improving the quality of specialist training by increasing the duration of training, which is planned to be undertaken after the abandonment of the Bologna system, may further intensify the flow of young people and highly qualified personnel from this region, which will become a threat to its sustainable development. To solve this problem, it is proposed to introduce a planned distribution of university graduates who have received education at the expense of the state budget.

Published: January 2025

The work examines the tourist potential of the Republic of Karelia, analyzes the tourist infrastructure of the territory, for which the performance indicators of collective accommodation facilities are determined; the dynamics of their quality and quantity are revealed; a comprehensive analysis of tourist facilities by types of tourism of the Republic of Karelia is carried out. Based on the results of the study, an approach to the analysis of the recreational load in specially protected natural areas (PAS) is proposed. This approach allows for scientifically based calculations of the optimal recreational load of protected areas, taking into account the multidirectional criterion of the optimum, due to the fact that an increase in the number of collective accommodation facilities generates an increase in the intensity of tourism in the Republic of Karelia and gives an increase in profits, but at the same time leads to the effect of a decrease in the quality of travel POI (point of interest) of tourists. The proposed economic and mathematical apparatus makes it possible to find the maximum load on the common area while maintaining maximum profit from the tourist segment, which will attract balanced investments and contribute to sustainable development. To ensure the sustainable development of tourism in the Republic of Karelia, it is necessary to monitor the actual recreational load of ecologically significant areas – these include territories where specially protected natural areas are located, such as state nature reserves, national parks, trails and routes used by tourists for walking and exploring local nature.
As a result of the study, it is possible to draw conclusions about the importance of maintaining a balance between the development of tourism, which is a key factor in economic growth and attracting investment to the region, as well as the need for sustainable development of the territory to preserve its natural resources and cultural heritage. The Republic of Karelia demonstrates a trend towards positive dynamics of economic development of territories, accompanied by an increase in tourist potential, which increases the anthropogenic load on specially protected natural areas. This trend, in turn, will have a negative impact on the environmental situation of the region in the near future.

The construction and development of the pension system is one of the indicators of the socio-economic development of the state and the welfare of society. The article presents the results of the analysis of demographic, macroeconomic, social, institutional and labor market factors affecting the achievement of the goals of the pension system of the Russian Federation. As a result of the assessment of the significance of these factors, those that have the greatest impact on the state of the country’s pension system have been identified. The aim of the work was to develop a predictive model that allows us to determine the value of the replacement coefficient as one of the main benchmarks in the development of the pension system. The construction of the model became possible thanks to the use of correlation and regression analysis, which was based on demographic factors and labor market factors as significant independent variables. The dynamics of the development of the factors selected as independent variables and the dynamics of the development of the substitution coefficient as a dependent variable are analyzed; The variables that have the greatest impact on the replacement coefficient have been identified, and their justification has been made. The conclusion about the reliability of the constructed model is based on the calculation of a simple and adjusted coefficient of determination, F-statistics, average standard error, and residue analysis. The predicted value of the substitution coefficient is calculated using the constructed model. Competent operation of the considered factors will contribute to the development of the country’s pension system and the realization of citizens’ rights in the field of pension provision, and the introduction of the model into the activities of scientists and practical economists will allow us to develop a forecast value of the replacement coefficient as one of the main indicators of the effectiveness of the Russian pension system.

Published: January 2025

The development of the regions of the Russian Federation currently takes place in difficult conditions of strong external pressure from Western countries, rising inflation, personnel shortages, an objective need for accelerated growth in defense and social spending, and instability of global financial and resource markets. Under these conditions, in order to ensure economic growth and social progress, it is necessary to make maximum use of the strategic internal reserves for regional development, especially those that have been underused to date and contain large reserves. The article contains the author’s interpretation of strategic leadership as the ability of a company’s management to ensure higher levels of competitiveness and strategic sustainability in the long term than those of its leading competitors based on their outperformance in key parameters: implementation of new scientific methods of strategic development management; involvement of personnel in generating innovative development processes and creating self-learning organizations; levels of investment in innovation, implementation and modernization of new technologies and achievements, automation of production and digitalization of the management environment, personnel development and growth of human capital; quality of work on continuous improvement of internal structures, production, labor and business processes. The authors conducted an analysis of a group of companies producing leading railway rolling stock based on the ratio of the average volume of investment in innovation and development to the average volume of revenue in 2014-2022, which allowed them to identify a stable relationship between global leadership and the relative share of company expenses on innovation. The study examined the problem of raising regional economies based on activating the most important long-term internal development resources and made a number of proposals for developing strategic leadership of enterprises.

The report examines the life and activities of the first female prosecutor Elena Barakova-Kaloeva, wife of the repressed writer Georgiy Fadeevich Barakov, who died during the years of repression. The regional prosecutor E.E. Barakova “for participation in an anti-Soviet nationalist organization” was arrested and exiled to the Gulag for 5 years because of slanderous denunciations. After serving her sentence, E.E. Barakova took up pedagogical activity. Shortly before her arrest, E.E. Barakova-ethnographer, being an employee of the Museum of Local History, was together with the famous archaeologist E.G. Pchelina in an archaeological expedition in Alagirsky district with the task to conduct archaeological work on Alanian crypt structures. This article introduces into scientific turnover the most valuable ethnographic material collected during the same expedition by Elena Evstafievna Barakova: girls’ and women’s songs, drawings of dances by Elena Ikaeva; as well as her own ethnographic notes on the Alagirsky Gorge. The analysis of the material we found in the North-Ossetian Institute of Humanitarian and Social Studies Scientific Archive deserves research within the framework of legal, historical and pedagogical directions.

Folic acid (FA) plays a crucial role in various biological processes. Insufficient intake of FA during pregnancy can lead to serious clinical complications, including neural tube defect. The current study sought to assess the awareness, knowledge, and usage of FA among young females in Jazan region of Saudi Arabia. This cross-sectional descriptive study involved 472 adult females from October 1 to 9, 2023, in Jazan region, Saudi Arabia. The questionnaire of the study was randomly distributed among females. The data showed that awareness and usage of FA supplementation were poor to fair among females. Furthermore, socio-demographic variables, including age, marital status, monthly income, education levels, number of pregnancies, and current pregnancy status, were found to be associated with awareness and utilization of FA supplementation. The study highlights the need to enhance awareness and knowledge of FA supplementation among females in the Jazan region. Introducing educational programs is essential in Saudi Arabia, particularly in the Jazan region, to enhance the knowledge and awareness of FA within the community.
METHODOLOGY FOR ASSESSING EMPLOYEE PREDISPOSITIONS TO TYPES OF JOBS IN ORDER TO REDUCE TURNOVER IN MANUFACTURING ENTERPRISES
Authors:   Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, Faculty of Management, Misiurek Bartosz
Published: January 2025

Purpose: The article presents an original methodology for assessing employee predispositions
to three types of work: manual, manual-machine, and automatic. The aim of the methodology
is to reduce employee turnover and improve retention in manufacturing companies.
Design/methodology/approach: The study was conducted on a group of 31 newly employed
people in a manufacturing plant in Poland, of whom 11 employees resigned within the first
30 days of employment. The results of the predisposition assessment were analyzed to identify
the factors that influence an employee to quit.
Findings: The conclusions indicate that employees with lower predisposition assessment
results were more likely to leave the company, while higher results were correlated with greater
retention. The original methodology for assessing predispositions, including various aspects of
manual, sensory, and logical-analytical work, aims to better match employees to appropriate
positions.
Practical implications: The proposed methodology can be applied by HR and production
managers to improve hiring and retention in manufacturing. By assessing employee
predispositions early on, companies can match individuals to roles better suited to their skills,
potentially leading to higher job satisfaction, lower turnover, and reduced recruitment costs.
This approach also aids in identifying employees more likely to succeed in specific
environments, facilitating better workforce planning.
Originality/value: This unique methodology contributes to improving job satisfaction and
reducing turnover costs by aligning employee predispositions with suitable job roles in
manufacturing environments.
ANALYSIS OF HUMAN CAPITAL EFFICIENCY IN POLISH ENERGY COMPANIES
Authors:   Silesian University of Technology, Nawrocki Tomasz L. , Zieliński Mariusz ,   \Opole University of Technology
Published: January 2025

Purpose: The Polish energy sector faces the need to change the production structure generates
high demands, among others, on the sector's staff. Therefore the aim of the article is to analyse
the efficiency of human capital in energy sector enterprises in Poland in the period 2010-2023.
Design/methodology/approach: The model chosen to estimate the efficiency and value of
human capital is Pulic’ VAIC™, which was compared with employee performance indicators.
The study was conducted for six energy companies.
Findings: The research results indicate an increase in the efficiency and value of human capital,
although they vary in individual companies. The basic factors determining the diversity of the
results obtained are changes in the level of employment, different shares of coal in energy
production and different shareholding structures. VAIC™ has proven to be stable method for
estimating human capital efficiency in both the long and short term.
Research limitations/implications: The study was conducted with reference to energy entities
operating in the Polish economic and energy specifics. In the perspective of further research,
it is appropriate to expand the study entities to companies operating in other markets.
Practical implications: The VAIC™ approach and employee productivity indicators indicate
a different hierarchy of companies in terms of human capital efficiency, therefore they should
be used together, as complementary, and interpreted appropriately.
Originality/value: The contribution of the article to the existing literature is the repetition of
research aimed at verifying the use-fulness of the VAIC™ model in estimating the efficiency
of human capital and the confrontation of this indicator with employee performance indicators.
