Authors: Munir Naureen , Haque Muhammad Anis ul
Published: December 2023

The primary objective of the study was to examine the relationship between abusive supervision and somatic complaints and work place cognitive failure. Study also intended to investigate the moderating role of resilience in these associations among sanitary workers. Cross-sectional survey data was gathered through purposive sampling technique, a sample of 662 sanitary workers from six different cities of Pakistan participated in the research. The research findings demonstrated that abusive supervision has significant positive correlation with somatic complaints and work place cognitive failure. Additionally, the negative correlation between resilience (moderator) and both somatic complaints and workplace cognitive failure was found significant. However, the hypothesized moderating influences of resilience on both the models of abusive supervision were not supported significantly. The study can contribute to promote awareness regarding sanitary workers’ problems and to make necessary modification at policy level, by the concerned authorities, to improve their quality of life by eliminating stressors from workplaces.

Implementation of Quality Management Practices and Firm’s Innovation Performance: Mediation of Knowledge Creation Processes and Moderating role of Digital Transformation
Authors: Butt Sadia , Yazdani Naveed
Published: December 2023

Presently, Industry 4.0 (I4.0) revolution is transforming operations and businesses of organizations through technological advancements.These digital technologies are hugely impacting the technological innovations (TIs) and execution of total quality management (TQM) in the organizations. Existent literature on TQM and firm’s innovation performance (IP) relation has shown mixed findings exclusively, in manufacturing companies. Desptie strategic significance of both TQM and innovation (INN) to improve sustainable competitive gain, this is an under-researched area in I4.0 context. Additionally, the Quality 4.0 is also new concept and role of I4.0 tchnologies in transformation of trational TQM function hasn’t been researched so far. Despite  strategic significance of role of knowledge creation processes (KCPs) towards  firm’s  IP and performance in I4.0, there  is dearth  of  research  addressing  integrative framework TQM, KC and IP exclusively in  progressing country  context. Considering these prevailing gaps in literature, current study is an attempt to develop and test a model in context of Pakistan in relevance to I4.0. The proposed framework examines the influence of executing quality management or QM practices (QMP) on innovation performance (IP). Additionally, mediating role of knowledge creation processes (KCPs) and moderation of digital transformation (DIT) is also explored in QMP-IP relation. Data of 265 respondents were obtained from ISO 9001 certified manufacturing firms of Pakistan through structured questionnaire on Likert Scale. Data were analysed through SPSS 23.0 and Hayes process macro applying statistical tests (reliability, correlation, and regression analysis). Study results revealed that all variables were positively correlated. Quality management practices (QMP) had positive and significant impact on firm’s IP. Results supported partial mediation effect of organizational knowledge creation processes (KCPs) in QMP-IP relationship. While, moderating impact of digital transformation (DIT) in QMP-IP relation was also supported. Study findings has implications for both and academia, management and practitioner. This study contributes to prevalent literature as it empirically tests a proposed framework to address under-researched area of QMP- IP relation in relevance to DIT and KCPs in Pakistan context and I4.0.

Published: December 2023

In this era, each organization is searching for quality in the employees, thus that enhances the need for talented employees, and the purpose of the study is to find out the attraction and the retention factors for talented employees in Pakistan’s job market. The bi-polar questionnaire has been used for the data collection the sample size was 60. The sample is collected from experts who have ample experience in analyzing the dimensions and sub-dimensions by using the analytical hierarchical process (AHP) approach. The results have suggested that organizational justice (distributive justice), work–life balance (time balance), and organizational culture (clan culture) compensation (direct compensation) are among the factors that affect the most attracting and retaining talented employees which is more than and equal to 10 percent. Further, factors are also having importance but less than 10 percent.  In Pakistan organizations are failing to attract and retain talented employees, resulting in poor performance, very rare studies were found in developing countries that addressed this peculiar and crucial issue of the economies like Pakistan.  This research is the guideline for the organizations of developing economies to understand the factors that attract the talent most to join an organization so that they can align their strategies and policies particularly to address this current issue. This paper offers important insights and practical recommendations on how organizations can improve their talent attraction and retention strategies to remain competitive in the market.

RAISED INTRA CRANIAL PRESSURE, EFFECTS ON BRAIN AND MANAGEMENT
Authors: Rahman Dr. Atiqur , Irshad Mohd , Arshad Khan Dr. Mohd
Published: December 2023

Normal intracranial pressure is exerted by the cerebrospinal fluid on the cerebral tissue which produces a pressure in the cranium. This is maintained in the range of 7-15 mm Hg. The cranium is formed as a protecting framework to the brain tissues through eight bones 2 temporal, 2 parietal, frontal, occipital, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones. The neurocranium contains three components the brain Tissues 80%, Blood 10 % and CSF 10%. These are responsible for ICP, if any one of these increases in volume, then other of one or two compresses and adjusts a limited time to avoid increasing ICP but after some instant, brain is exhausted and increase ICP, So that one increased ?Volume increased ? ICP increased ? Brain shrank ? Brain Injury. There are elastance and compliance mechanism which stable the ICP in some instant, because the brain 100–150 ml CSF additionally absorb without changes in the ICP. In adult, normally CSF volume is 150 ml, the 125ml within subarachnoid spaces and 25ml in the ventricles. Whenever CSF volume increases then the compensatory mechanism is started so, low pressure of vein is collapsed and CSF egress into the lumbar subarachnoid space, when the compensatory mechanism is exhausted then increased of additional volume cause sudden ICP rise. The cerebrospinal fluid is circulating through the neuroaxis from the site of secretion to the site of absorption due to rhythmic systolic pulse wave in choroid arteries. The CSF circulation is depending on frequency of respiration, jugular venous pressure, postures and the individual physical activity. The mechanism of compliance is changing the ICV and ICP. It means, the ICP is elevated, then ICV becomes low, when ICP is normal, the ICV is become high. So, small changes in the ICV that changes in the ICP.

Published: December 2023

Фармакотерапія органів серцево-судинної системи супроводжується з використанням препаратів ангіопротекторної дії, оскільки дані лікарські засоби розширюють судини, проявляють спазмолітичну активність, нормалізують проникність судин та реологічні властивості крові, а також позитивно впливають на мікроциркуляцію в тканинах. Крім того, вони здатні зменшувати набряки тканин та позитивно впливають на активацію метаболічних процесів у кровоносних судинах. Нині стрімко зростає кількість населення на хронічні захворювання, пов’язані з порушенням функцій кровоносних судин. Так, вітчизняними науковцями було встановлено, що стінка капілярів здатна пошкоджуватися при гострому інфекційному процесі, наприклад, при грипі (капіляротоксикозі), а також на тлі деяких хронічних захворювань, у тому числі й при інсулінозалежному цукровому діабеті, що призводить до недостатнього кровопостачання органів та систем (ангіопатій).
Targeting repeat domestic violence: Assessing short term risk of reoffending
Authors: Morgan Anthony , Boxall Hayley , Brown Rick
Published: December 2023

Drawing on repeat victimisation studies, and analysing police data on domestic violence incidents, the current study examined the prevalence and correlates of short-term reoffending. The results showed that a significant proportion of offenders reoffended in the weeks and months following a domestic violence incident. Individuals who reoffended more quickly were more likely to be involved in multiple incidents in a short period of time. Offenders with a history of domestic violence—particularly more frequent offending—and of breaching violence orders were more likely to reoffend. Most importantly, the risk of reoffending was cumulative, increasing with each subsequent incident. The findings have important implications for police and other frontline agencies responding to domestic violence, demonstrating the importance of targeted, timely and graduated responses.
Who is responsible for child maltreatment?
Authors: Allard Troy , Hurren Emily , Thompson Carleen , Jenkins Brian , Chrzanowski April , Stewart Anna
Published: December 2023

Ensuring that children are safe and cared for is a priority for government. The National Framework for Protecting Australia’s Children 2009–2020 emphasises the need for interventions to be appropriately timed and to target the risk factors for child maltreatment. While most existing interventions in child protection focus on the family, there is a need to understand more about those responsible for child maltreatment over their life course, to inform prevention activities. This study explores whether different groups of maltreaters can be identified based on their frequency of contact with child protection agencies. It also explores differences among individuals identified as responsible for harm across age, gender, Indigenous status, relationship with victim and harm type. Findings suggest the need for effective interventions targeted at Indigenous people and individuals who have multiple contacts with child protection authorities. The study highlights the need for a greater understanding of the life-course experiences of people found responsible for child maltreatment. This information will enable more effective interventions that efficiently target the risks and needs of those responsible for child maltreatment to ensure the safety of children in their care.
The significance of ‘intoxication’ in Australian criminal law
Authors: Quilter Julia , McNamara Luke , Seear Kate , Room Robin
Published: December 2023

This study explores how the state of ‘intoxication’ from the consumption of alcohol or other drugs is treated by the criminal justice system in Australia. The authors analysed more than 500 statutory provisions which attach significance to a person’s ‘intoxication’ for a variety of purposes, and 327 appellate court decisions handed down in Australia between 2010 and 2014 in which the court considered evidence that the accused, the victim or a witness was ‘intoxicated’ at the time of the alleged offence. The study found that ‘intoxication’ has multiple purposes in the criminal law, but there is a widespread problem of under-definition. In the absence of clear definition, intoxication is often assessed on the basis of highly subjective criteria—in contexts as diverse as public order policing and assessments of victim credibility in sexual assault trials. The authors recommend that consideration be given to the standardising the definition of ‘intoxication’, consistent with society’s expectation that criminal law should mark a clear line between ‘sobriety’ and ‘intoxication’ if the latter state is to carry penal consequences.

Disengagement from involvement in organised crime: Processes and risks
Authors: Douglas Kaylene , Smith Russell
Published: December 2023

This paper provides insight into the processes and risks associated with disengaging from involvement in organised crime. It seeks to offer an understanding of what membership of an organised crime group entails, the motivations for leaving, processes of disengagement and potential repercussions that may be encountered as a result. Suggestions for promoting disengagement are also canvassed. Given the expansive nature of organised crime that takes place in Australia and globally, the different contexts of membership and personal involvement, and the cultural and social factors involved, disengagement is clearly complex and difficult to manage. Improved understanding of the processes and risks will enable policymakers to assist in the disruption of organised crime groups through the implementation of strategies designed to facilitate easy and effective disengagement from serious criminal activity.

Syntactic and Logophoric Anaphora Under the Perspective of Experimental Syntax
Authors: Souza Flávia G. Calaça de , Oliveira Rosana Costa de , Barbosa Tatiana Ramalho
Published: December 2023

In order to avoid repetition of noun phrases in a sentence the use of anaphora is present in most languages. In English, for example, Reinhart and Reuland (1993) pointed out that syntactic anaphora, besides natural, is guided by c-command (Chomsky, 1981) and related to syntactic factors, and logophoric anaphora is guided by extra-syntactic information. This study aims to observe the influence of c-command in Brazilian Portuguese syntactic anaphora “a si mesmo (a)” during language processing, as well as verify the acceptability of the logophoric anaphora “ele mesmo”. For this, two psycholinguistic experiments were made that showed the influence of c-command during the reading of the anaphora “a si mesmo (a)” and that the sentences with logophoric anaphora “ele mesmo” are considered acceptable in Brazilian Portuguese.

Authors: Sotomayor Vinan Pablo Andres , Ruparel Monik Manish , Tandukar Resha , Mitra Pranabendu
Published: December 2023

The objective of this study was to optimize the coffee content and alcohol content of the formulations of coffee-gelatin shots based on physicochemical, rheological and sensory properties of the products. Because the coffee content and alcohol content influenced those properties of coffee-gelatin shots significantly which were related to the consumers’ acceptance. Thirteen different coffee-gelatin shots for nine formulations based on CCRD were developed and the sensory properties (overall acceptability, color, flavor and texture), L-value, pH and viscosity of coffee-gelatin shots were determined. The regression models were developed to predict the response variables as a function of independent variables. The response surface models were developed to understand the effects of independent variables on the responses. A desirability function was used to determine an optimum formulation using a numerical optimization technique. All contour plots of response surface models were superimposed to visualize an optimum region. The regression models could predict the sensory properties, L-value, pH and viscosity of coffee-gelatin shots as a function of coffee content and alcohol content with an accuracy of 77-99% depending on the properties of coffee-gelatin shots. The coffee content and alcohol content affected the sensory properties, L-value and viscosity of coffee-gelatin shots significantly (p<0.05). The optimization results obtained using numerical and graphical optimization techniques indicated that a combination of coffee (2.50 -3.00 g) and alcohol (5.25-6.75 mL) was the optimum formulation of a coffee-gelatin shots that improved the sensory properties, L-value, pH and viscosity of the coffee-gelatin shots. This optimum formulation of coffee-gelatin shots is expected to be useful for commercial manufacturing of consumers’ desired coffee-gelatin shots.

Establishing Relations with My Ideological Enemy: Polish People’s Republic and the Kingdom of Greece (1948–1974)
Authors: Vlasidis Vlasis
Published: December 2023

The purpose of this article is to present and explain the very complex and quite enigmatic economic relations between the Polish People’s Republic and the Kingdom of Greece, which belonged to different political and military blocks during the Cold War. The relationship between the two countries developed as a matter of priority, in contrast to what was happening in Europe at the time, and was not influenced by internal political developments. Although Greece was in a civil war and Poland was supporting the Greek Communists, both countries sought to reestablish diplomatic and commercial relations. In the 1950s, relations between them began to develop, and in the 1960s, they had reached an ultimate level. Poland initially exported capital goods to Greece and then also expanded trade relations by exporting consumer goods too. Poland also imported agricultural products and minerals mainly from Greece and made significant investments in Greece by building many factories there. Even the compensation issue, which was considered intractable, came to an end after brief negotiations for the benefit of both parties. Economic relations remained stable even during the dictatorship in Greece. At the same time, athletic and cultural relations were developed, with Poland taking most of the initiative.
Millî Mücadele Döneminde İzmir
Authors: Turan Mustafa
Published: December 2023

At the end of World War I, the Ottoman Empire surrendered by signing the Armistice of Mondros on October 30, 1918. With the armistice, the victorious states gained the right to occupy wherever they wished. Due to the demobilization of its military and the surrender of its weapons, the state had no power to resist. The Entente states had divided the Ottoman country with the secret agreements they had made between them during the Great War. The victorious states gathered in Paris and started negotiations to determine the political fate of the Ottoman Empire. At the Paris Conference, it was decided to leave Izmir and its surroundings to Greece. Despite Italy's objections, Greece was allowed to temporarily occupy Izmir. The occupation of İzmir did not mean that it was ceded to Greece. As a matter of fact, in the Treaty of Sèvres, İzmir would not be directly ceded to Greece. Greece wanted to achieve Enosis (annexation). For this, Izmir had to be cleansed of Turks. As a matter of fact, the Greeks, who occupied Izmir on May 15, 1919, committed massacres and committed intolerable atrocities as a requirement of their occupation policy. The atrocities committed by the Greeks were ignored by the allied states. However, these atrocities strengthened the belief and will of the Turkish nation to fight for themselves. The İzmir Mudafaa- i Hukuk-ı Osmaniye Society, which was established in a short time, worked for the people to join the struggle. Thanks to the efforts of the militia and patriotic officers who did not demobilize their soldiers and surrender their weapons, the Kuvâ-yı Milliye detachments began to resist. The Turkish nation waged the National Struggle with the awareness that Izmir would not be abandoned to Greece. With the Great Victory, Izmir was liberated on September 9, 1922. The Greeks left Anatolia, leaving behind great suffering. Izmir and the Turkish people living in Izmir have an exceptional place in the victory of the National Struggle led by Mustafa Kemal Pasha.

Published: December 2023

"In the secret agreements made during the World War I, the South-West Anatolia region was promised to the Italians. After the Armistice of Mudros, Italian occupations began in line with this promise. The Italians, who landed in Antalya on March 28, 1919, set out on a series of expeditions to expand their occupation zone towards Burdur without delay. The Italian officers who came to Burdur for this purpose claimed that they had come here to ""make investments"", ""develop the people"" and so on. In fact, as a requirement of the Italian occupation method, they wanted to prevent the national reaction of the people and hide their occupation intentions behind the so-called concepts of ""love"", ""help"". They wanted to hide their invasion intentions behind the concepts. While Vasfi and the Mayor of Burdur were under the influence of these propagandas, Burdur Recruitment Region President Miralay İsmail Hakkı, Burdur Mufti, 68th Regiment Commander and some notables from the nobles knew that the real intention of the Italians was “invasion”. However, despite all the opposition, the Italians could not be prevented from officially occupying Burdur on 28 March 1919. After the replacement of the Mutasarrıf (Governor) and the Mayor against the National Struggle, there were very important developments in Burdur in resisting the occupations and in the national organization. In a short time, the Burdur National Committee, which would later be called as one of the Association for Defence of National Rights, was established. Burdur women also showed national sensitivity and established the Burdur Defense of Rights Women’s Association. While there were political organizations in this way in Burdur, aid was given to the front in the west of Denizli, which was struggling against the Greek occupation. Many Burdur volunteers from the center, districts and villages of Burdur rushed to the front and bought a significant amount of food, clothing, etc. in-kind donations. Meanwhile, the Red Crescent Hospital opened in Burdur provided very important services in meeting the health services of the front. All these efforts for the success of the National Struggle were not easy. As in all sides, the opponents of the National Struggle in Burdur were not idle. In addition, banditry activities in the region had a negative impact on the National Struggle. Despite all these difficulties, the people of Burdur did their best to defend the homeland."

"On 30 October 1918, after the signing of the Armistice of Mondros, the Ottoman lands were occupied by the Entente states. Yalova District of İzmit Mutasarrıflığı was also under Greek occupation between 7-21 August and 5-9 September 1920 and between 15 September 1920 and 19 July 1921.After the Armistice of Mondros, Greek and Armenian gangs continued their massacres against Turks in and around Yalova.Especially with the occupation of the Yalova region, Greek soldiers joined the Greek and Armenian gangs, which led the atrocities in the region to reach a terrible dimension. The people of Yalova, who were not indifferent to what was happening, joined the Kuvâ-yı Milliye. Yalova Detached Company, under the command of the regular army, made significant contributions to the liberation of Western Anatolia from enemy occupation, in addition to Yalova. The Entente States were forced to act upon the atrocities committed by Greek military forces and Greek and Armenian gangs during the occupation. The reports of the commissions in charge of investigating the atrocities in the region showed the Greek atrocities to the whole world. With the fear of atrocities, the people of the region migrated to places where they could feel safe, especially Istanbul. During the migration, the Hilâl-i Ahmer Society provided important assistance in meeting the needs of the refugees.

Authors: Can Mustafa
Published: December 2023

"Antep, which had both economic and strategic importance during the War of Independence, was occupied by the British on 17 December 1918 after the Armistice of Mudros. The British also brought the Armenians, who had previously been displaced to Syria, to Antep. During the British occupation that lasted for approximately ten months, there were no armed conflicts despite some unfortunate situations. The British occupation of Antep was replaced by the French occupation on 25 October 1919. The French also took advantage of the Armenians during the occupation of Antep. Therefore, Armenian riots in the city started to increase. On 12 January 1920, due to the incidents caused by the French and Armenians in Araptar Village, the Antep resistance first started outside the city. In these clashes on the Antep-Maras road, the Karayılan and Memik Agha son of Boyno gangs proved to be very useful. Şahin Bey also left the French in a very difficult situation with his activities on the Kilis-Antep road in February and March 1920. After the martyrdom of Şahin Bey, the resistance in Antep moved inside the city as of 1 April 1920. In this period, the resistance in the city was organised by commanders such as Kılıç Ali and Özdemir Bey. The French, who were defeated in Maraş and Urfa, besieged Antep for weeks. The city, which resisted with its own means for about eleven months, fell on 9 February 1921 due to starvation. On 20 October 1921, when the Türkiye-Syria border was drawn with the Ankara Treaty, French soldiers left Antep on 25 December. Thus, the occupation period in Antep, which started with the British in December 1918 and continued with the French, ended on 25 December 1921. In this study, the occupation and resistance movement in Antep after the Armistice of Mudros will be discussed."

"The Southern Front was one of the most vigorous fronts of the National Struggle, where epic battles were fought by the Kuvâ-yı Milliye organizations against the French and Armenians. These clashes have caused the names of countless heroes to be heard. One of these heroes is Captain Salim Kurtoğlu from Inebolu, who carried the nickname Yörük Selim Bey, and was sent to the region with Kılıç Ali Bey for the defense of Maraş in line with the order of Mustafa Kemal Pasha. Within the scope of our topic, the life and activities of Yörük Selim Bey, one of the heroes whose name was frequently heard in the southern region during the National Struggle, are discussed.

Millî Mücadele Döneminde Niğde
Authors: Öztürk İbrahim
Published: December 2023

"Niğde, which has been home to many civilizations throughout history, came under Seljuk rule in the 11th century and maintained its importance as an administrative unit with the status of a sanjak during the Ottoman period. Rather than being a temporary armistice treaty that ended World War I for the Ottoman Empire, the Armistice of Mondros de facto abolished the independence of the state with its political, military and economic provisions and opened the Anatolian lands to occupation. After the Armistice, the Entente states put into effect the distribution plans they had made during the war. British, French, Italian and Greek occupations started in Anatolia. Niğde is one of the settlements that were not occupied in this process. In the face of the occupations, upon the Istanbul Government's surrenderist policies, Mudafaa-i Hukuk Societies began to be established throughout the country, and protests and rallies were organized against the occupations. After Mustafa Kemal Pasha moved to Anatolia, the resistance that started regionally gained a national character and turned into the National Struggle. In this process, the Mudafaa-i Hukuk Cemiyeti was established in Niğde and the occupations were protested. Starting from May 16, 1919, the day after the occupation of Izmir, protest telegrams were sent to the Istanbul Government against the occupations. Three representatives were sent from Niğde to the Sivas Congress, and Mustafa Bey (Soylu) took part in the delegation. The people of Niğde supported the National Struggle and made all kinds of sacrifices by actually taking part in the wars on the Southern and Western fronts. Especially in the liberation of Pozantı on the Southern Front, volunteers from Niğde and its surroundings were effective."
