Authors: Maco Castro Juan , Arista Meléndez Ely Consuelo , Tamayo Espinal Edith Carmen
Published: September 2023

En el ámbito del comportamiento organizacional, temáticas asociadas a brindar un servicio de calidad de atención al público implica una ventaja competitiva que afianza la satisfacción del cliente y la fidelización. En el ámbito policial el concepto de desconfianza e insatisfacción implican la no realización de la denuncia de hechos delictivos a causa de la construcción mental de una institución policial ineficiente, de impunidad y carente de recursos. Por ello, el objetivo del presente estudio fue analizar la calidad de servicio de atención al público que se brinda en dependencias policiales y/o cuerpos de policía. De esta manera, se identificaron diversos factores que interviene en la calidad del servicio de atención al público, de acuerdo con los modelos teóricos contemporáneos y establecido en diversos países de Latinoamérica. Dentro de estos factores se hace mención a: trato amable; capacidad de escucha; compromiso; capacidad de resolución de conflictos; y capacidad para asumir retos en dependencias policiales.

Published: September 2023

Background: Food insecurity and malnutrition in children may impose extreme disease conditions, which potentially affect the sustainability of zero hunger and wellness worldwide, leading to variations in nutritional patterns by region. Edible insects are common and are included in diets such as pastries, cookies, pasta, pies, flours, biscuits, candies, bars, chocolates, beverages, alcoholics, and so on.

Methods: The current price of insect-incorporated foods and conventional foods in the grocery stores online were analyzed and compared. The architectural sketch of insect integrated rearing system. Edible insects can be reared to harvest or sourced from the wild, cleaned, steamed, and oven-heated before blending into fine powders for additives. The smooth powder is milled with other food ingredients before they are mixed thoroughly, pounded, baked, and cut into sizes.

Results: The nutritional information of insect food and feed was higher than conventional products. Prices of all the conventional commodities were higher except for insect beverages ($14.83≈11,274 nairas) and bars ($22.30≈16,945 naira) (P<0.05). Marketable insect feed products are lacking, probably due to a lack of entrepreneurial intervention in this line of production.

Conclusions: Considering the environment, insects have much more advantages. Foods of insects are quite cheap and encouraged in Asia-pacific than in the African region. The environmental, economic, and nutritional values of insects are equally an advantage over other animals. Modeling the price of edible insect foods is paramount to large-scale production. Concerted efforts and legislation are therefore required to promote this innovation in developing and under-developing nations.
Discrete Odd Inverse Pareto Exponential Distribution: Properties, Estimation and Applications
Authors: Saengthong Pornpop , Seenoi Palakorn
Published: September 2023

In this paper, a new discrete distribution named as the discrete odd inverse Pareto exponential (DOIPEx) distribution is introduced for modeling count data. The proposed distribution can be viewed as a generalization of the discrete Marshall-Olkin exponential, discrete exponentiate exponential, and discrete exponential distributions. Some basic distributional properties, quantile function, hazard and reversed hazard functions, and order statistics are derived. Estimation of the parameters is illustrated using the maximum likelihood method (MLE), and three real data sets are discussed to demonstrate the usefulness and applicability of the DOIPEx distribution.
Beneficios del consumo de insectos como fuente de alimento en la salud humana
Authors: Gutiérrez Urcola Alberto
Published: September 2023

El aumento demográfico de forma exponencial y la falta de recursos obliga a la población a buscar alternativas más saludables y sugerentes para su alimentación. El objetivo de esta revisión es demostrar que el consumo de insectos, como complemento alimenticio en la dieta habitual de los seres humanos, aporta beneficios a la salud. Se realizó una revisión bibliográfica de artículos con base científica consolidada consultando las bases de datos “Cochraine”, “Pubmed”, “Science direct”, “Dialnet” y “Medline plus”, con restricción de fecha de 5-10 años, en español y en inglés. También se ha incluido literatura gris como tesinas, proyectos, trabajos de fin de máster, entre otros. En cuanto al estudio, no se han hecho ningún tipo de limitaciones. Los insectos tienen la capacidad de ofrecer beneficios a la salud de las personas por su alto valor nutricional, la bioactividad de sus componentes e inclusive, por aumentar la sostenibilidad medioambiental. El tipo de insecto, su alimentación, su hábitat... Van a determinar su composición y, por consiguiente, sus beneficios nutricionales. A consecuencia de esto, existen numerosas investigaciones en las que se demuestran tales beneficios en mayor o menor medida aunque, debido a su novedad y a su precariedad, se necesita mucha investigación al respecto.
Inmunonutrición para pacientes sometidos a cirugía electiva de cáncer de cabeza y cuello vs nutrición enteral estándar
Authors: Ruosi Paola
Published: September 2023

La finalidad de esta revisión bibliográfica es examinar la evidencia científica más reciente sobre el efecto y los reales beneficios, en la recuperación postoperatoria, de la inmunonutrición enteral respecto a las fórmulas estándar, en pacientes que padecen cáncer de cabeza y cuello, sometidos a cirugía electiva. Las principales fuentes bibliográficas de elevado impacto científico, se han rescatado a partir de bases de datos como Medline, PubMed, Biblioteca Cochrane, Elsevier, Scielo y principales sociedades médicas oncológicas como: SEOM, NIH y guías clínicas como ESPEN. Existe una gran heterogeneidad entre los resultados examinados de las diferentes revisiones y metaanálisis, sobre el efecto de la inmunonutrición en las complicaciones postoperatorias. En general, los hallazgos indican un beneficio en el uso de la inmunonutrición, sin embargo, para el cáncer de cabeza y cuello se basan en evidencia de calidad deficiente por numerosas limitaciones, por lo que la comunidad científica no ha encontrado todavía un consenso común. Una investigación más prolífica podría confirmar tales resultados con mayores beneficios para la supervivencia del paciente y, consecuentemente, una menor estancia hospitalaria, que gravaría menos en los costes del sistema sanitario.
Clinical reasoning in Haptotherapy: Use of the SCEBS and Questions about Affectivity
Authors: Klabbers Gert A.
Published: September 2023

The website of the International Journal of Haptonomy and Haptotherapy (IJHH) lists thirty-two papers (IJHH, 2013-2023), including various case descriptions, a review, some vision articles and several research articles. The research papers report the use of more than twenty different validated questionnaires, such as the Haptotherapeutic Well-being Scale (HWS) (Klabbers & Hagg, 2021; Klabbers & Vingerhoets, 2022) and the Four-Dimensional Symptoms Questionnaire (4DSQ) (Terluin, Marwijk, Adèr, et al., 2006). Anamnesis, however, is only mentioned once in one article – without any further explanation (Klabbers, Wijma, Paarlberg, Emons & Vingerhoets, 2014). Nevertheless, the anamnesis is an essential part of haptotherapy. With this letter to the editors of the IJHH, I would like to draw attention to the anamnesis in haptotherapy and call on colleagues to write and publish about it. A plea is also made for the use of the SCEBS model, which is explained below, and for extending this model with some specific questions regarding affectivity.

Authors: Augusto Monteiro Cravo Felipe , Verdaramis Bento Pamella
Published: September 2023

As altas taxas de violência contra população LGBTQIAP+ podem derivar do preconceito sexual e de gênero. Assim, avaliar e caracterizar o preconceito favorece no refinamento das pesquisas desenvolvidas e na elaboração de intervenções anti-discriminação. O objetivo deste estudo foi revisar a literatura brasileira de avaliação de preconceito sexual e de gênero. Seguiu-se as diretrizes PRISMA na busca e seleção dos artigos publicados entre 2012 e 2022 nas bases de dados Scielo e BVS-Psi (Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde); 28 estudos tornaram-se alvo desta revisão. No geral 9.530 pessoas foram avaliadas, sobretudo estudantes de graduação, estudantes do ensino médio, profissionais da saúde e educação. Majoritariamente as pesquisas: utilizam delineamentos qualitativos, possuem baixa caracterização dos participantes acerca do marcador social raça, a população-alvo são jovens e adultos, e não utilizam instrumentos que medem preconceito implícito. Em resumo, identificou-se que os espaços familiares e escolares apareceram como mantenedores e produtores de violência lgbtfóbica, e, a população masculina apresentou maiores índices de preconceito. Além disso, diversas pesquisas relacionaram prejuízos em saúde mental da população LGBTQIAP+ ao preconceito contra esta população. A partir dos resultados desta revisão futuras pesquisas podem levar em consideração algumas lacunas metodológicas como caracterização e seleção de participantes, explorar outros instrumentos e métodos de medida de preconceito e delinear intervenções especificas diminui-lo.
Multi-Scale Decay Mechanism of Emulsified Asphalt Cold Recycled Mixture Under Freeze-Thaw
Authors: Yang Yanhai , Yue Liang , Yang Ye , Chen Guanliang
Published: September 2023

The road performance decay law of EACRM under freeze-thaw cycles was studied using laboratory tests on the macroscopic scale in order to comprehensively analyze the serious performance damage mechanism of emulsified asphalt cold recycled mixture (EACRM) in cold regions during the service period. The surface cracking behavior, internal void evolution characteristics, and asphalt mortar morphology damage of EACRM under freeze-thaw cycles were studied by means of digital speckle, industrial CT, and scanning electron microscope (SEM) on the mesoscopic and microscopic scale. The results show that along with the increase in the number of freeze-thaw cycles, the road performance of EACRM decreases significantly. The surface of EACRM obviously cracks, and the width and number of main cracks increase significantly. The fatigue times of the maximum horizontal strain in the whole field gradually decrease. Air voids and the average volume of meso-void visibly increase. The microcracks of cement-emulsified asphalt mortar constantly emerge at the interface. The serious damage of the “three-dimensional network structure” is the fundamental reason for the performance decay of EACRM in cold regions. The performance damage of EACRM in cold regions is aggravated by water seeping into voids from cracks. Eventually, EACRM shows serious freeze-thaw inflicted damage.
Traditions of Sichuan chuanju operain piano pieces by Song Mingzhu and Jia Daqun
Authors: Liu Jie
Published: September 2023

The subject of the study is the piano compositions by contemporary Chinese composers Song Minzhu (triptych "Musical Suite of the Sichuan Opera") and Jia Daqun (miniature of "Chuanqiang" from the cycle "Three Preludes for Piano"), written under the influence of the traditions of the Sichuan opera chuanju. The unique multi-composition of the origins of the South Chinese drama predetermined the originality of the typical quipai tunes and their modal coloring, the style of singing in a high register, the features of the stage action, the timbre composition of the accompanying percussion ensemble. The purpose of the article is to study the specifics of the refraction of the traditions of Sichuan opera in the modern piano repertoire. Research methodology: comparative typological and analytical methods make it possible to substantiate the uniqueness of the selected piano miniatures, due to the influence of the chuanju style. Piano compositions by Song Minzhu (triptych "Musical Suite of Sichuan Opera") and Jia Daqun (miniature "Chuanqiang" from the cycle "Three Preludes for Piano") are considered in Russian musicology for the first time. The main conclusions of the study are as follows. The stylistic features of the traditional Sichuan opera manifested themselves in the piano pieces of Song Minzhu and Jia Daqun at different levels: at the level of quoting typical tunes of gaoqiang, kunqiang, pihuanqiang, common in the southern region of the country; at the level of modal organization of tunes associated with pentatonic and heptatonic (zhengsheng and qingshang modes); at the level of imitation on the piano of the timbres of string and percussion instruments of the chuanju opera (violins huqin, gaibanzi, banzi rattles, gongs and drums); at the level of textural organization, due to the interaction of the soloist and the choir in the opera chuanju gaoqiang.
Witold Lutosławski as an innovator in the field of symphonic thematism (on the example of the Third Symphony)
Authors: Zakharov Yurii
Published: September 2023

W. Lutosławski (1913-1994) was an outstanding Polish composer, one of the inventors of the principle of limited (controlled) aleatorics. In his symphonic music, aleatoric and sonoric types of material interact with the thematism of the traditional type. The article is devoted to the analysis of this interaction and the identification of the dramatic role of non-traditional thematism in the musical form. The Third Symphony (1983) serves as the research material. The author of the article characterizes the expressive possibilities of aleatorics of the texture, identifies two types of sonorism, and also describes 8 types of traditional thematism used in the symphony. The "dialogue" of the two main pitch structures in the epilogue of the symphony is traced. The study allows us to conclude that non-traditional thematism prevails in the introduction and in the first part, i.e. where different types of material are exposed. On the contrary, in the second part of the symphony, the personal principle intervenes in the organization of the thematic process. The composer's will, which develops the material, collides it with each other, builds dramaturgy and leads to a certain outcome. And here (with the exception of development), traditional thematism strongly prevails. Awareness of the balance between different types of material leads to the ability to follow the plot of the symphony, which manifests itself not only in the disposition of themes, but also in the interaction of various interval complexes with each other.
Animal Derogation and Anthropocentric Language. An Ecofeminist Reading of Barbara Kingsolver’s Prodigal Summer
Authors: Ahmad Sajad , Yaqub Huma
Published: September 2023

The theory of ecofeminism is all about drawing comparisons and connections between old as well as new forms of oppressions against women and the environment and it fights against all forms of injustices to make earth a better place to live. Animal liberation theorists not only highlight animal abuse through hunting, caging, butchering, testing, and experimenting but they are of the opinion that animals are abused and derogated through the patriarchal language as well. In this regard, this paper attempts to explore the anthropocentric use of language in Barbara Kingsolver’s “Prodigal Summer” so as to discuss the way the author highlights animal devaluation and depreciation in terms of language. Kingsolver draws readers’ attention towards animal devaluation through various tropes (mostly similes) to highlight animal abuse in her ecofeminist text. The paper will examine the ways in which characters derogate each other through association with different animals and birds and show how the use of language plays a great role in the devaluation and derogation of nonhuman world.
Beyond Human-Wildlife Conflicts. Ameliorating Human/Nonhuman Animal Relationships through Workshops on Terminology
Authors: Yahya Haage Gabriel
Published: September 2023

Human-Wildlife Conflicts (HWCs) occur when nonhuman animals’ needs clash with those of humans. One recent effort regards shifting HWCs into Human-Human Social Conflicts, where conflicts are about humans disagreeing on how to deal with nonhuman animals. This method can help reduce guilt placed on nonhuman animals, but also robs them of their agency. Conversely, some in the field of biology seek to increase animal agency and their moral status, even making them key stakeholders. A helpful relationship may seek both aspects. Fourteen workshops (147 participants, 40 subgroups), with relevant stakeholders, were run on this topic. Participants were involved in biology and/or environmentalism and/or sustainability. They sought to develop terminology diminishing guilt in HWCs, while maintaining agency. Common themes were then brought out. Eight subgroups argued for more inclusive terms, like “sentient beings” and 21 argued for diminishing human/nature dichotomies. Both fit well with increasing agency, and giving nonhumans greater moral status, by narrowing human/nonhuman animal gaps. Participants also discussed nonhuman animals as “icons”, which 26/30 subgroups saw as, at least potentially, problematic, arguing it conceptually “freezes” species, ignoring their dynamism. In sum, the workshops aid in framing healthier relationships with the natural world.

Although fossil evidence has been suggested the existence of the early muscular system in the ancient cnidarian jellyfish from the early Cambrian Kuanchuanpu biota (
ca
. 535 Ma), south China, the mechanism of feeding and respiration of the early jellyfish is conjecture. Recently, the polyp inside the periderm of olivooids was proven to be the calyx-like, most likely bearing short tentacles and bundles of coronal muscles at the edge of the calyx, thus presumably contributing to feeding and respiration. We simulate here the contraction and expansion of the microscopic periderm-bearing olivooid
Quadrapyrgites
via the dynamic, fluid–solid interactions (FSI) method to investigate their feeding and respiratory activities. The hydrostatic simulations show that the rate of water inhalation by the polyp subumbrella is positively correlated with the rate of contraction and expansion of the coronal muscles, consisting with the previous feeding and respiration hypothesis. The dynamic simulations also show that the frequent inhalation/exhalation of water through the periderm polyp expansion/contraction conducted by the muscular system of
Quadrapyrgites
, most likely represents the ancestral feeding and respiration patterns of Cambrian sedentary medusozoans that predated the rhythmic jet-propelled swimming of the modern jellyfish. It will be a remarkable step to apply the dynamic fluid simulation to other early Cambrian cnidarians and metazoans to enlighten their behaviours during the Cambrian explosion.
A transformer-based deep learning framework to predict employee attrition
Authors: Li Wenhui
Published: September 2023

In all areas of business, employee attrition has a detrimental impact on the accuracy of profit management. With modern advanced computing technology, it is possible to construct a model for predicting employee attrition to minimize business owners’ costs. Despite the reality that these types of models have never been evaluated under real-world conditions, several implementations were developed and applied to the IBM HR Employee Attrition dataset to evaluate how these models may be incorporated into a decision support system and their effect on strategic decisions. In this study, a Transformer-based neural network was implemented and was characterized by contextual embeddings adapting to tubular data as a computational technique for determining employee turnover. Experimental outcomes showed that this model had significantly improved prediction efficiency compared to other state-of-the-art models. In addition, this study pointed out that deep learning, in general, and Transformer-based networks, in particular, are promising for dealing with tabular and unbalanced data.
Overview of Genetics in Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: A Futuristic Cognizance
Authors: Mishra Sanjukta
Published: September 2023

Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) is an emerging epidemic worldwide. It comprehends simple steatosis to escalating steatosis with associated fibrosis, cirrhosis, and Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC). NAFLD patients are at increased risk of liver-related as well as cardiovascular mortality. It seems to have a robust interconnection with visceral adiposity, Insulin Resistance (IR), inflammation, and environmental factors. Although the pathogenesis of NAFLD is presumed to be linked to lifestyle patterns, nutritional factors, and genetics, the predictor of advancement of this disease spectrum caused by genetics stands imprecise. In the past decade, multiple genome-wide associations and large candidate gene studies have recognised the contribution of several genetic polymorphisms in regulating hepatic lipid metabolism, thus influencing NAFLD establishment and progression. Recent understanding of the genetic underpinning of NAFLD explains the involvement of several common naturally occurring variants in PNPLA3, TM6SF2, MBOAT7, GCKR, LYPLAL1 and PPP1R3B genes in the evolution of the disease. The genetic landscape may play a role to appraise the risk stratification and ascertaining the potential therapeutic target in NAFLD patients. The perspective of this review was to emphasise the genetic basis of the NAFLD spectrum, which modulates the severity and progression of the disease.

Published: September 2023

Introduction: Fear of the unknown causes anxiety in paediatric patients. The use of tell-show-do, along with audiovisual distraction, promotes positive behaviour and reduces anxiety. The use of a Dental Operating Microscope (DOM) as a visual distraction aid provides better cooperation in paediatric patients. Aim: To evaluate the effects of a DOM on anxiety, behaviour, and treatment time during a restorative procedure in paediatric dental patients. Materials and Methods: The present study was a parallel-arm, randomised clinical trial conducted at IGIDS, Puducherry, India, in 2022, over a period of four months. Healthy five to sevenyear-old children on their first dental visit were selected (n=90) and divided into two groups using simple randomisation. Group A: Restoration of teeth without a DOM, and group B: Restoration of teeth using a DOM. Anxiety and behaviour were measured as soon as the child entered the operatory (T1), after tell-show-do for the procedure (T2), after cavity preparation (T3), and after completion of the restoration (T4). Caries removal efficacy and treatment duration were also assessed. The data obtained were statistically analysed using the Chi-square test and independent sample t-test (p<0.05). Results: Out of the 90 children who participated in the study, 47 (52%) were girls, and 43 (47%) were boys. There was a decrease in anxiety and improved patient behaviour during cavity preparation (T3) and after completion of restoration (T4) in group B (p<0.001). The operator also reported higher visual (71.10%) and tactile (95.60%) scores in caries removal, with a shorter treatment duration in groups where DOM was used (p<0.001). Conclusion: The use of DOM reduced anxiety levels and improved the compliance of children during dental procedures. Operator ergonomics and the quality of treatment could be enhanced by recommending DOM in regular paediatric dental practice.

This study was designed to assess the impact of automobile battery waste disposal on the indices of soil health and fertility. Soil samples were collected from three major mechanic villages in Akure and Owo in Ondo State. The physicochemical parameters were analyzed using standard methods while the heavy metal content was assessed using a spectrophotometer. Also, the microbial population was determined using the pour plate method and some biochemical tests. The results show that the soil sample from Owo had the least total bacterial count of 65.10x 105 CFU/g) while the sample from Akure 2 had the highest bacterial count of 185.50 x 105 CFU/g. The probable organisms isolated from the samples were Klebsiella spp, Escherichia spp, Staphylococcus spp, Proteus spp, Pseudomonas spp, Bacillus spp, Serratia spp and Enterobacter spp. There were significant differences between the physicochemical parameters of the contaminated soil samples and the uncontaminated control soil. The electrical conductivity of the contaminated soil samples (1.20, 0.92 and 0.38) was higher significantly (p<0.05) than the uncontaminated (0.21) soil sample. The pH values were acidic (4.57) compared with the control (7.42). Other indices like C, Ca. CEC and bulk density among others have values that were different significantly (P<0.05) between the contaminated soil and the control. In addition, the levels of heavy metals such as Lead, Cadmium and Chromium in the contaminated soil were significantly higher than in the control soil sample. The study confirms that the health indicators of the battery waste-receiving soil in the studied area are highly compromised therefore it may need remediation to reduce soil pollution.

Published: September 2023

Rice is the most staple food crop for the human population worldwide. Both biotic and abiotic diseases are known to cause losses to the Rice crop. Mostly, grain yield losses are reported due to blast disease caused by Magnaporthe oryzae across all crop growing areas of the world. Leaf blast samples were collected from various rice-growing areas in Warangal and samples were tested on different growth media and found that OMA+Rice leaf extract was the most suitable for promoting radial growth, conidial size, and sporulation of the pathogenic isolate. Among the eight isolates studied, the Maheshwaram isolate (M-2) exhibited the highest radial growth, conidial size, and good sporulation. This suggests that this particular isolate might be more aggressive or virulent than the others and could pose a greater threat to rice crops in the region.This could lead to more effective strategies for managing blast disease and minimizing yield losses in rice crops in the specific region.

Published: September 2023

Stomata are probably a viable taxonomy distinguishing feature. The study of stomata characteristics of synthetic banana hybrids and their parentage has been carried out. Ploidy determination is essential in banana breeding programs to understand the genetic makeup of hybrid plants. The purpose of this study was to determine the ploidy level of hybrids in contrast with the properties of plant stomata in synthetic banana hybrids with those of their parent plants. Therefore, by examining components such as stomata location, number of epidermal cells, number of stomata cells, stomata length, width, area, intensity and density, as well as chloroplast count, it is possible to compare and contrast the traits of synthetic banana hybrids and their parentage which have different genomes. The entire mount approach was used to make an incision for the purpose of observing stomata. By characterising the stomata traits of the synthetic hybrids and their parentage, the results were then descriptively and qualitatively assessed. Three different locations on the abaxial of the leaf were taken for the determination. The samples were collected from close to the petiole (R1), middle (R2), and distal end (R3), stomata were observed using the replica method. Results showed that more number of stomata was observed in R2of leaf abaxial. The chloroplast count in pairs of stomatal guard cells from the accessions was also measured. The chloroplast density was determined in pairs of stomatal guard cells from the accessions. Based on morphological descriptions, it was observed that 16.66% of the accessions were diploid, 50% were triploid and 33.33% were tetraploid. When considering the chloroplast count, the accessions were categorized into groups, certain accessions classified as tetraploids, others as triploids, and diploids.

Background and Aim: Alloscardovia omnicolens is a gram-positive, non-motile, non-sporulating bacillus that is occasionally identified as a member of the human microbiota. Despite its infrequent colonization of humans, it has been detected in various anatomical sites, including the gastrointestinal tract, urinary tract, vaginal mucosa, and oral cavity, and has the potential to cause opportunistic infections. This systematic literature review aims to analyze the pathogenic potential of A. omnicolens and the underlying clinical conditions associated with infection.

Methods: A systematic review of scientific manuscripts was conducted using the PubMed, SciELO, and Google Scholar databases. The search terms employed included "Alloscardovia omnicolens," "infection" "culture," and "identification". Manuscripts published in English, Portuguese, Spanish, and French from 2007 to 2023 were considered for review.

Results: Following the bibliographic selection process, a total of five articles discussing Alloscardovia omnicolens infections were included, along with an additional thirty-six articles for analytical support.

Conclusion: Infections caused by Alloscardovia omnicolens are infrequent and are predominantly associated with underlying medical conditions. The detection of this bacterium in cultures of organic specimens from patients, particularly those with neoplastic diseases, warrants clinical attention when patients are in critical health states or exhibit risk factors for opportunistic infections. Given the antibiotic susceptibility profiles of the prevailing strains of Alloscardovia omnicolens, we recommend the use of narrow-spectrum antibiotics for treatment in these cases, with the exception of Metronidazole. This approach can effectively eliminate Alloscardovia omnicolens while minimally impacting the broader human microbiota composition.

Published: September 2023

This review explores the multifaceted field of motivation within organizational behavior by synthesizing insights from some research. The research is founded on an extensive literature review encompassing various studies that address motivation-related issues within organizational behavior. Spanning foundational theories to contemporary paradigms, the review delves into intrinsic and extrinsic motivational factors, justice perceptions, emotional influences, and the interplay of creativity. It highlights the evolution of motivational theories, ranging from Adams' equity theory to modern constructs like self-determination theory and goal-setting theory, emphasizing the dual nature of motivation. Justice perceptions emerge as crucial influencers of behavior, while transformational leadership behaviors amplify motivation, job satisfaction, and commitment. The relationship of emotions adds another layer, where positive affect enhances expectancy and motivation. The temporal dynamics of motivation and its creative potential are also explored. The review culminates in a nuanced understanding of motivation's essence, guiding organizations toward fostering engagement and productivity. It serves as a foundation for further exploration, reflecting the intricate variety of motivational factors that influence organizational behavior.
