In today's business environment, where competition is increasing every day, effective leadership becomes a key aspect of success for any enterprise. The use of cutting-edge technologies in the development and implementation of strategic management decisions is crucial in this process, providing leadership with the necessary tools for analysis, planning, and execution of strategic tasks. The application of advanced software products, analytical tools, and intelligent systems helps increase management productivity, reduce risks, and optimize costs. Moreover, these technologies facilitate improved interaction between enterprise departments and the implementation of innovative strategies. The application of advanced management technologies can encompass a wide range of tools, from Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems to business analytics and Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems. CRM systems enable the collection, analysis, and utilization of customer information to improve service and increase sales. Business analytics provides the ability to gain deep insights from large volumes of data, aiding in making informed strategic decisions. Artificial intelligence is used for process automation, forecasting, and decision optimization. The decision-making process may involve several stages, starting from gathering and analyzing information, formulating alternative courses of action, assessing risks and potential benefits, making decisions, implementing them, and finally, monitoring and evaluating the results. An important component of decision-making is also involving relevant stakeholders and considering their perspectives and interests. The main forms of implementing management decisions may vary depending on the specific situation and organizational goals. This could involve the implementation of new strategies, changes in organizational structure, launching new products or services, optimizing production processes, and so forth. Therefore, the use of advanced technologies and effective decision-making and implementation are important components of successful leadership in today's business environment, where the speed and accuracy of decision-making play a crucial role in achieving competitive advantages.

The study indicates that the regulation of labor in restaurants is key to ensuring safety, service quality, and efficiency. It establishes rules regarding working hours, hygiene, food safety, and service standards, contributing to customer satisfaction and providing comfortable conditions for employees. In the scientific literature dedicated to management organization issues, there are no complete classification schemes for labor regulations. The analysis of labor regulation forms proposed in the study encompasses a set of characteristics that correspond to the goals of achieving the most comprehensive coverage of regulation forms, their organization, and the definition of their features. The labor regulation of a restaurant enterprise includes a series of rules, procedures, and requirements regarding the organization of the work process, safety at work, quality control of products, customer service, etc. It may cover aspects such as staff work schedules, procedures for receiving and issuing orders, sanitary standards, staff requirements, labor safety instructions, work safety rules, and other important aspects of restaurant functioning. Given the diversity of restaurant enterprises and the legislative requirements of the country, regulations may vary, but the general principles remain similar. The analysis of the methodology for labor standardization allows for the following conclusions: all methods of labor standardization for managerial staff are based on the study of working time expenditures; the number of managerial staff is calculated according to norms and time standards. Problems in the management organization system are solved using various methods. The functional division of labor in a restaurant is best determined by the expert method, while the parametric approach most fully justifies itself for establishing staff numbers. Orientation towards different approaches allows to a certain extent to determine the desired level and quality of regulatory documentation. The arsenal of methods for quantitative assessment of personnel activity is quite broad. Each of the methods listed above has its advantages and disadvantages. The choice of method depends on the tasks set, the necessary accuracy, and the possibilities.

Published: May 2024

Leaking ponds based on soil is often a problem in shrimp farming. This can trigger a potential increase in production costs, so that vaname shrimp farmers can experience losses. One solution that can be sought to prevent leakage of ponds based on soil is soil stabilization, namely by adding additives to the soil in the form of soil stabilizer liquid. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of providing soil stabilizer with a chemical base that has polymer ionic bonds in the soil of the vannamei shrimp (Litopeneaus vanamei) culture container. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with two treatments, namely control and treatment with the addition of soil stabilizer fluid with the same dose, each with four replications. The research was carried out through four stages, namely the stage of testing soil properties, making soil samples, Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS) test, and soil permeability. The results of the treatment with soil stabilizer fluid had an effect on the permeability of the sample soil. The control coefficient value is 4.94 x 10-7, while for the sample soil treatment, the average value is 2.62 x 10-7. Based on the results of statistical tests, the results were significantly different from the treatment soil. The pressure strength test after being tested using statistical analysis did not differ between treatments. The addition of soil stabilizer can reduce the value of soil permeability. Provision of soil stabilizer can reduce the value of permeability up to 47%. However, the addition of the soil stabilizer did not produce a significant difference in pressure strength..

Published: May 2024

Introduction: This study presents the oral and maxillofacial pathological features of several types of odontogenic tumors in children and adolescents less than 18 years of age from a Bangladeshi tertiary-level healthcare facility.
Materials and Methods: In this retrospective cross-sectional study, the World Health Organization (WHO) categorization for head and neck tumors in 2022 was used to assess the frequency of odontogenic tumors in children and adolescents. Data relating to sex, age, and tumor site were retrieved and presented. The Chi-square test was implemented to study the association between gender, age, and site with different types of odontogenic tumors.
Results: A total of 106 cases were found, and all the cases were benign. Ameloblatoma (75.47%) was the most common tumor, followed by odontogenic myxoma (9.44%), cemento-ossifying fibroma (5.66%), and odontoma (4.72%). A male (60.38%) predominance was observed in the gender distribution, but no statistically noteworthy (P = 0.43) relationship was found. Most of the cases were found in the 13–18 age group (63.21%), with a mean age (standard deviation) of 13.01 (2.29) years. There was no statistical significance found between age group and tumor type (P = 0.78). The mandibular (95.28%) predominance was found over the maxilla (4.72%) (Mandible: Maxilla = 20.2:1) and was statistically significant (P= 0.002). In the mandible, the posterior region (88.68%) was mostly affected.
Conclusions: Early detection of odontogenic tumors is rare, and as people aged, they become more common. Ameloblatoma was the most prevalent odontogenic tumor in the jaws, followed by odontogenic myxoma, cemento-ossifying fibroma, and odontoma. Adolescents experience odontogenic tumors more frequently than children do. The mandible was observed to predominate over the maxilla in terms of site distribution. The mandible's posterior portion was primarily affected.

Zoonotik Salgınlar ve Çevre-Güvenlik Bağlantılarında Nedensellik Sorunu
Authors: Erçandırlı Yelda
Published: May 2024

Bu makale zoonotik salgınlar-çevre sorunları ve güvenlik arasındaki ilişkilerin önemine dair son dönemde artan tartışmalara müdahil olmaktadır. Makalede, zoonotik salgınlar ve çevre-güvenlik bağlantıları ile ilişkili olarak nedensellik sorununa dayanan -mevcut literatüre alternatif- bir başlangıç noktası sunulacaktır. Makalenin amacı özgürleştirici bir sosyo-biyolojik güvenlik anlayışının gelişimine katkıda bulunmaktır. Makalede, “kimin için, ne için güvenlik” sorusuna odaklanan mevcut literatürün, doğa ve toplum arasındaki ilişkiselliği ve nedensel mekanizmaları göz ardı ettiği iddia ediliyor. Makale, felsefi düzlemde eleştirel gerçekçiliğin, kuramsal düzlemde ise Marksizm’in toplum bilimlerine yaptığı katkıdan besleniyor. Eleştirel gerçekçiliğin ön plana çıkardığı materyalist- diyalektik soyutlamalar güvensizliğin altında yatan mekanizmalara vurgu yapmamıza yardımcı olurken, eleştirel gerçekçilikle desteklenmiş Marksist yaklaşım pratikte sorunun nasıl çözüleceğine odaklanır. Bu bakımdan makale, tartışmanın odağını güvenliğin nesnesi ne olmalı (devlet, insan veya doğa) sorusundan güvensizliği ortaya çıkaran yapı ve mekanizmalar arasındaki nedenselliğe kaydırmaktadır. Buna uygun olarak makalede sosyo-biyolojik güvensizliklerin bir tesadüf sonucu ortaya çıkmadığı da savunulmaktadır.

A novel consumer-centric metric for evaluating hearing device audio performance
Authors: Manchaiah Vinaya , Taddei Steve , Bailey Abram , Swanepoel De Wet , Rodrigo Hansapani , Sabin Andrew
Published: May 2024

Background and Aim

The emergence of direct-to-consumer hearing devices has introduced confusion in making appropriate choices, highlighting the need for users to be well-informed for optimal device selection. Currently, no established metric offers insights into the sound performance of these devices. This study aimed to introduce and assess a novel consumer-centric metric (i.e., SoundScore) for hearing device audio performance.

Method

The SoundScore metric was created based on five dimensions of hearing device audio performance (i.e., speech benefit in quiet and moderate, speech benefit in loud, own voice perception, feedback control, streamed music sound quality). Tests were conducted under lab conditions with an acoustic manikin using two fitting protocols meant to approximate (1) real-world default device settings for a mild-to-moderate sloping hearing loss (“Initial Fit”) and (2) an audiological best-practices approach (“Tuned Fit”). A total of 41 hearing devices comprising 10 prescription hearing aids (Rx-HA), 10 self-fitting over-the-counter hearing aids (OTC-SF), 8 pre-set based over-the-counter hearing aids (OTC-PS), and 13 personal sound amplification systems (PSAPs) were evaluated.

Results

SoundScore varied significantly between device classifications with Rx-HA yielding the highest average scores and PSAPs the lowest. SoundScore also varied with fitting method, whereby preset based devices scored lower on average than devices programmable by fitting software. Performance across the five composite sound performance metrics generally improved between “Initial” and “Tuned” fits for Rx-HA. However, this was not observed with OTC-SF. Also, no significant difference in SoundScore was found between devices of different form factors (i.e., BTE vs. ITE).

Conclusions

Initial findings suggest that the SoundScore can effectively distinguish between the audio performance of different hearing aids, offering consumers a valuable decision-making tool. Future studies should examine the relationship between the SoundScore and consumer hearing aid benefit/satisfaction.

Introduction: The endorsement of circular economy, zero-waste, and sustainable development by the EU and UN has promoted non-thermal technologies in agro-food and health industries. While northern European countries rapidly integrate these technologies, their implementation in Mediterranean food-supply chains remains uncertain.

Aims: We evaluated the usefulness of hydrodynamic cavitation (HC) for valorizing orange peel waste in the fresh orange juice supply chain of the Maltese Islands.

Method: We assessed: a) the effectiveness of HC in extracting bioactive compounds from orange peels (Citrus sinensis) in water (35°C) and 70% (v/v) ethanol (−10°C) over time, compared to conventional maceration, and b) the potato sprouting-suppression and biosorbent potential of the processed peel for copper, nitrate, and nitrite binding.

Results: Prolonged HC-assisted extractions in water (high cavitation numbers), damaged and/or oxidized bioactive compounds, with flavonoids and ascorbic acid being more sensitive, whereas cold ethanolic extractions preserved the compounds involved in radical scavenging. HC-processing adequately modified the peel, enabling its use as a potato suppressant and biosorbent for copper, nitrate, and nitrite.

Conclusion: Coupling HC-assisted bioactive compound extractions with using leftover peel for potato-sprouting prevention and as biosorbent for water pollutant removal offers a straightforward approach to promoting circular economic practices and sustainable agriculture in Malta.

Background

Nutrients are crucial for dialysis patients, especially elderly patients. Nutrition-related complications in dialysis patients are often closely related to cardiovascular aging. However, we know little about the effect of different nutrients on the commonly used outcome predictor, health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Therefore, this study investigated the associations between different nutrients and HRQOL among dialysis patients.

Methods

A cross-sectional study was conducted on 123 dialysis adults at multiple dialysis centers. The Short Form-36 Health Survey (SF-36) assesses HRQOL. Modified quantitative subjective global assessment (MQSGA) evaluates nutritional status. A 3-day dietary record evaluated nutrient intakes.

Results

Among the 123 participants, 79 received hemodialysis (HD), and 44 were on peritoneal dialysis (PD). Patients with PD had a higher SF-36 score than HD (525 ± 136 vs. 375 ± 179, P < 0.001). A negative association between nutrition status and HRQOL was observed in HD (regression coefficient β = −17.4, P < 0.001) but not in PD (β = −12.3, P = 0.07). For HD patients, the nutrition status was negatively correlated with intakes of carbohydrates, fiber, selenium, copper, and Manganese (β = −0.02, P = 0.032; β = −0.3, P = 0.031; β = −0.1, P = 0.006; β = −2.3, P = 0.025; β = −1.3, P = 0.003, respectively). Their HRQOL was positively associated with calories, fat, niacin, and vitamin E (β = 2.19, P = 0.035; β = 2.4, P = 0.043; β = 8.5, P = 0.044; β = 6.9, P = 0.017, respectively). Conversely, for patients with PD, only vitamin B2 was found to be adversely correlated with their nutritional status (β = −5.2, P = 0.037), and increased intakes of vitamin A, vitamin C and fiber (β = 0.1, P = 0.031; β = 0.8, P = 0.028; β = 15.8, P = 0.045, respectively) were associated with a better HRQOL.

Conclusions

The nutritional intake of PD patients and HD patients affects their quality of life differently. Macronutrients significantly impact HRQOL in HD patients, while vitamins have a more substantial impact on PD patients.
Complex thinking and profile of Colombian university teachers

During the last decade, the development of competencies has become a cardinal point for universities, focusing not only on those skills directly associated with technical or disciplinary aspects but also on those necessary in training for life. In this sense, the so-called general (transversal) competencies become primary in the curricula as part of the training of students regardless of discipline. However, although much literature has reported on students’ acquisition and development of these competencies, what is the reality for teachers facing this formative challenge? Methodologically, this study uses the validated EComplexity instrument to assess self-perceived competence in complex thinking among 51 university teachers (30 women and 21 men, mean age 39 years) from southern Colombia, covering five academic disciplines: Business, Health Sciences, Engineering, Social Sciences and Humanities. The aim was to measure their perceived preparedness to teach complex thinking as part of a teacher training course, with an emphasis on the participants’ varied academic backgrounds. For data analysis this study employed a multivariate descriptive statistical analysis using SPSS software. The results determined that the teachers perceived themselves as competent in complex thinking and sub-competencies. In conclusion, the study found that differences in factors such as gender, age and academic discipline did not significantly influence teachers’ self-perceived competence in complex thinking. This article contributes to the identification of essential teaching competences for the teacher education process within competence-based pedagogical models, ensuring the quality of academic work.

Former research has highlighted the relevance of basic psychological need (BPN) satisfaction for students' academic motivation and achievement. However, the specific role of self-efficacy in this relationship has been neglected. Using survey response data from a sample of 2,359 German middle school students in 35 schools, we employed Hierarchical Linear Modeling to investigate the role of teacher support for students' perceived BPN, academic self-efficacy, and autonomous and controlled motivation on student achievement in two subjects (mathematics, German). We found that self-efficacy had the largest relationship with achievement and it mediated the effect of autonomous motivation on grades while controlled motivation had a small and statistically significant, negative relationship regardless of self-efficacy. Support of students' perceived BPN had a positive statistically significant association with autonomous motivation. Motivation and self-efficacy also mediated perceived BPN support and achievement. Self-efficacy had a statistically significant association and had a reciprocal relationship with both autonomous and controlled motivation. The findings indicate that self-efficacy plays a major role in the relationships among perceived BPN support, motivation, and academic achievement, and highlight the importance of supporting student self-efficacy in academic settings.

Introduction: The Yellow River Basin is an important national energy base and ecological protection area, and it is of great significance to promote the coordinated development of high-quality development and eco-environmental carrying capacity in the region.

Methods: Taking the 73 prefecture-level cities along the Yellow River as the study unit, this paper measures the changes of high-quality development level and eco-environmental carrying capacity of municipalities from 2005 to 2020, using the coupling coordination degree model and fuzzy logic algorithm.

Results and discussion: 1) The capital city and its surrounding cities have a high level of high-quality development, with the lower and middle reaches of the Yellow River having higher levels than the upper reaches. From 2005 to 2020, the level of high-quality development showed an upward trend. 2) The eco-environmental carrying capacity of cities in the lower reaches is higher than that in the upper reaches. From 2005 to 2020, the eco-environmental carrying capacity of cities in the lower reaches of the Yellow River increased first and then decreased. 3) The provincial capital cities have a high degree of coupling coordination, with cities in the lower reaches having a higher level than those in the middle and upper reaches. A high degree of coupling coordination reduces spatial differences, but dominated by primary coordination. 4) From 2005 to 2020, the eco-environmental carrying capacity tended to be coordinated with the high-quality development, close to a high level and system optimization. In the end, we conclude with policy recommendations to promote high-quality urban development and harmony between people and nature in the region.
