Authors: Saflor Charmine Sheena , Marinas Klint Allen , Enano Welajane
Published: October 2024

Employee retention is intricate in a competitive market, and yet it is critical for long-term competitive advantage, organizational performance, and longevity. Low employee retention causes several challenges, including increased training and recruitment costs, insufficiently skilled staff, and disruption to organizational operations. This study utilizes the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to examine the factors influencing employees’ intention to remain with companies in the Philippines or leave the country. Data were collected through a questionnaire completed by 200 participants via online survey, with the results presented in frequency and charts. The findings aim to contribute both theoretically and practically to organizational management, offering insights for companies to adopt sustainable strategies for employee retention. Drawing on prior research and empirical theories, this study examines the effects of Employee Satisfaction (ES), Salary Impact (SI), and Workplace Impact (WI) on these intentions. The findings provide strong evidence that salary, workplace conditions, and employee satisfaction have a direct impact on employees’ decisions to stay in their home country. These findings have significant managerial implications for fostering sustainable organizational practices.

Published: October 2024

Condition assessment of concrete bridge decks is critical for ensuring structural integrity and public safety, particularly as infrastructure ages. Traditionally, such assessments are made using destructive techniques, such as coring through concrete to collect samples for analysis. However, these invasive methods create weak points within the structure and risk damaging essential components, such as cutting through rebars. This paper explores the use of three non-destructive testing (NDT) methods—electrical resistivity (ER), impact echo (IE), and infrared thermography (IRT)—to evaluate the structural health of concrete bridge decks and overlays. These techniques are tested individually and in combination through a mock-up experiment to detect defects such as delamination and corrosion. The findings demonstrate that while each NDT method has specific strengths—surface ER with a 46.67% detection rate, IE with 40%, and IRT with 53.33%—the combined detection rate increased to 60%. This combined approach provides a more comprehensive assessment and is expected to help establish better maintenance strategies for aging infrastructure. The study highlights the importance of optimizing NDT methods for real-world applications, addressing current limitations such as environmental sensitivity and scanning speed, to improve the early detection and prevention of structural failures.

Published: October 2024

The waste management sector is crucial for protecting the environment, conserving resources, and promoting sustainable development by ensuring efficient disposal, recycling, and minimizing the harmful impact of waste. This study aims to understand the performance levels (compressive strength), environmental impact, and overall sustainability of three concrete mixes, two of which use recycled materials. The mixes are defined as a conventional mix, mix one, which replaces dune sand for recycled rubber in the mix design, and mix two, which utilizes recycled aggregate as a replacement for fine aggregates. SEM-EDS is used to assess the elemental composition and surface morphology of the materials. The potential leaching of pollutants such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), non-targeted organic compounds, and heavy metals was obtained using GC/MS and ICP-OES. The results showed low concentrations of PAHs in all mixes and a low calculated Potential Ecological Risk Index (PERI), where the conventional mix and mix two had the lowest risk (55 and 33, respectively) compared to mix one, which displayed a higher risk of 125. The results of the heavy metals assessment yielded that mix one was the most contaminated, with 1535 mg/kg of nickel and 1200 mg/kg of zinc, followed by the conventional mix, with 1385 mg/kg of nickel and 135.5 mg/kg of chromium, and finally, mix two was the least contaminated with 378.5 mg/kg of nickel and 142.5 mg/kg of zinc. Overall, the sustainability potential showed that mix two, with the recycled aggregates, was the most sustainable, with a Building Material Sustainability Potential (BMSP) value of 9.25. The study advocates for a shift toward sustainable concrete practices to mitigate environmental impacts while maintaining structural integrity.

Authors: Wang Kun , Yao Yuan , Mao Kun
Published: October 2024

During the development of the Chengdu–Chongqing Urban Agglomeration (CCUA) in China, PM2.5 pollution severely threatened public health, presenting a significant environmental challenge. This study employs a novel spatial interpolation method known as High Accuracy Surface Modeling (HASM), along with the geographical detector method, local and regional contributions calculation model, and the Hybrid Single–Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectory model to analyze the seasonal spatial distribution of PM2.5 concentrations and their anthropogenic driving factors from 2014 to 2023. The transport pathway and potential sources of seasonal PM2.5 concentrations were also examined. The results showed the following: (1) HASM was identified as the most suitable interpolation method for monitoring PM2.5 concentrations in the CCUA; (2) The PM2.5 concentrations exhibited a decreasing trend across all seasons, with the highest values in winter and the lowest in summer. Spatially, the concentrations showed a pattern of being higher in the southwest and lower in the southeast; (3) Industrial soot (dust) emissions (ISEs) and industry structure (IS) were the most important anthropogenic driving factors influencing PM2.5 pollution; (4) The border area between the eastern part of the Tibet Autonomous Region and western Sichuan province in China significantly contribute to PM2.5 pollution in the CCUA, especially during winter.
The Singularity of Three Kinds of New Tricyclic Graphs
Authors: Ma Haicheng , Gao Yanbo , You Xiaojie
Published: October 2024

A graph G is singular if its adjacency matrix is singular. The starting vertices of two paths Pb1 and Pb2 are simultaneously bound to the ending vertex of the path Ps1, and the ending vertices of the paths Pb1 and Pb2 are bound to the starting vertex of path Ps2. Meanwhile, the starting vertex of the path Ps1 is bound to a vertex of the cycle Ca1, and the ending vertex of the path Ps2 is bound to a vertex of the cycle Ca2. Thus, the resulting graph is written as ξ(a1,a2,b1,b2,s1,s2). This is denoted by ζ(a1,a2,b1,b2,s)=ξ(a1,a2,b1,b2,1,s) and ε(a1,a2,b1,b2)=ζ(a1,a2,b1,b2,1), which are referred to as the ξ-graph, ζ-graph and ε-graph for short, respectively. It is known that there are 15 kinds of tricyclic graphs. The purpose of this paper is to study the necessary and sufficient conditions for ξ-graphs, ζ-graphs and ε-graphs to be singular graphs. We analyzed the structure of the elementary spanning subgraphs of the graph G=ξ(a1,a2,b1,b2,s1,s2). By calculating the determinant of the adjacency matrix of the graph G, the necessary and sufficient conditions for the determinant of the graph G to be zero is obtained, and so the necessary and sufficient conditions for graph ξ(a1,a2,b1,b2,s1,s2) to be singular are obtained. As the corollaries, the necessary and sufficient conditions for graphs ζ(a1,a2,b1,b2,s) and ε(a1,a2,b1,b2) to be singular are also obtained.
Quantification of Urban Groundwater Recharge: A Case Study of Rapidly Urbanizing Guwahati City, India
Authors: Dutta Jayashri , Choudhury Runti , Nath Bibhash
Published: October 2024

The interaction between groundwater and urban environments is a growing concern for many rapidly urbanizing cities around the world, affecting both recharge and flow, since impervious surfaces reduce infiltration by increasing runoff, whereas over-abstraction leads to groundwater depletion and land subsidence. Additionally, industrial pollution and wastewater disposal contribute to contamination, impacting groundwater quality. The effective governance of groundwater within such urban locales necessitates a profound understanding of the hydrogeological context, coupled with robust tools for projecting fluctuations in groundwater levels and changes in water quality over time. We quantified urban groundwater recharge in Guwahati city, Assam, India, using the rainfall infiltration method and a numerical approach. Precipitation, evapotranspiration, runoff, and recharge from surface water bodies were considered the components of natural recharge, while leakages from water supply, domestic wastewater, and industrial wastewater were considered the components of urban recharge. The cumulative total of natural and urban components determines the actual groundwater recharge. The estimated natural groundwater recharge is 11.1 MCM/yr, whereas the urban groundwater recharge is 44.74 MCM/yr. Leakages from urban infrastructure resulted in significantly higher groundwater recharge than from natural inputs. Steady declines in groundwater recharge were observed from estimates taken at various time points over the past two decades, suggesting the need for prompt action to improve groundwater sustainability.

Key Points

In the current pilot trial, palliative care (PC) consultation for older adults with advanced CKD was both feasible and acceptable.

PC consultation was associated with significant improvements in the decision-making process for kidney therapy and in quality of life.

A large-scale PC-based decision-support intervention for older adults with CKD aimed at examining person-centered outcomes is warranted.

Background

In non-nephrology settings, specialty palliative care (PC) improves decision making, patient's quality of life (QoL), advance care planning, and certain indicators of the quality of end-of-life (EoL) care. This pilot randomized control trial (RCT) explored the feasibility and acceptability of a PC intervention, CKD-EDU, for adults aged 75 years and older with eGFR ≤25 ml/min and their caregivers.

Methods

Participants randomized to the control group received standard nephrology care and routine kidney therapy education, whereas those randomized to CKD-EDU received a decision aid and met with a PC clinician up to three times to discuss kidney therapy decisions and EoL planning. Patients were assessed at baseline, 4–6, 12–14, and 24–26 weeks. Main outcomes included intervention feasibility and acceptability, decision conflict, and patient QoL. The mediating effects of reduced decision conflict on improved QoL were explored, as were the effects of CKD-EDU on advance care planning, EoL treatment intensity, and 6-month hospitalization. Statistical analyses encompassed descriptive analyses, adjusted repeated-measure models, mediation analyses, and logistic regression models.

Results

Among the 127 eligible patients screened, 58 (46%) consented: 30 were randomized to CKD-EDU and 28 to the control arm. All patients completed baseline assessments and 89% completed at least 1 intervention session (n=26/29), underscoring intervention adherence and feasibility. Similarly, assessment completion rates at 4 (83%, n=45/54), 12 (93%, n=42/45), and 24 (95%, n=40/42) weeks were high. The intervention received over 85% acceptability ratings for all questions. Patients exposed to CKD-EDU exhibited significant improvement in Decisional Conflict Scale scores (P = 0.003) at 4–6 weeks and improvements in QoL at 24–26 weeks (P = 0.02). Exploratory analyses were not statistically significant in this pilot study, but all effect sizes were in the predicted direction.

Conclusions

This study demonstrates the feasibility and acceptability of CKD-EDU. A larger scale trial is warranted to assess its effectiveness in improving key outcomes important to patients and families.

Uma anatomia da transparência pública
Authors: Soares Júnior Eden do Carmo , Ferreira Luciana Rodrigues
Published: October 2024

As questões que envolvem a transparência tangenciam os negócios privados e a administração pública há séculos, sendo que normas como a Lei de Liberdade de Imprensa da Suécia, de 1766, a Carta das Nações Unidas, de 1948, e a Legislação de transparência da Finlândia, de 1951 impulsionaram as possibilidades de acesso a informações pela sociedade. No final do século XX e início do XXI, a expansão da democracia, o surgimento e a disseminação da internet também foram móveis para o espraiamento da transparência e a alçaram a tema central de debates teóricos e da implementação de legislação em diversos países, que possibilitaram mais acesso do cidadão às informações públicas custodiadas pelo Estado. Diante desse panorama, o objetivo do presente estudo é produzir um extenso e profundo levantamento sobre a transparência, especialmente no âmbito do setor público, bem como a respeito de assuntos que transitam na inciativa privada, mas que se entrelaçam à gestão estatal e às relações sociais, buscando, assim, deslindar o percurso histórico da transparência, seus conceitos e classificações, elementos e conteúdos considerados essenciais para o seu adequado processamento. O procedimento metodológico empregado foi a pesquisa bibliográfica, sendo realizada busca sobre o tema objeto deste levantamento, nos sites e plataformas Scopus, Google Acadêmico; Catálogo de Teses e Dissertações da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES) e Biblioteca Digital Brasileira de Teses e Dissertações. Dessa forma, construiu-se um vasto histórico da transparência, que abarca pontos como: movimentos políticos e sociais que determinaram o seu surgimento, eventos formais e/ou legais de sua implementação e os períodos da transparência no mundo; identificaram-se variados conceitos e significados do termo; catalogaram-se 45 tipos de transparência; detectaram-se 22 fenômenos que são tidos como obstáculos para a transparência, assim como 23 benefícios e 20 malefícios advindos da implementação dessa; constatou-se a ocorrência de elementos e particularidades que devem ser observados e estar presentes na efetivação do processo da transparência e disseminação de informações, além de abordaram-se temas que são intrínsecos à transparência, dentre eles: as leis de acesso à informação, a relação transparência e democracia e o movimento de dados abertos. Este artigo tem o mérito de revelar ingredientes e circunstâncias essenciais para serem tratados, quando se quer abordar de modo amplo e minucioso a transparência, e, por isso mesmo, ganha ares de ineditismo na esfera nacional. Assim, o presente trabalho, em virtude de sua originalidade, abrangência e peculiaridade, pode-se constituir em um verdadeiro guia para a boa e adequada transparência, indispensável de ser compulsado, não somente por pesquisadores, mas, especialmente, por agentes de órgãos públicos que têm dentre suas atribuições fornecer informações e dados de modo mais compreensivo e útil para a sociedade.

Published: October 2024

Epilepsia é um distúrbio do sistema nervoso central que, por atividade anormal e excessiva, gera a convulsão, podendo ser causada por lesões estruturais e alterações genéticas ou ser refrataria ao tratamento medicamentoso. Já a depressão, que se manifesta de diversas formas, tem como principal hipótese de fisiopatologia a deficiência nas monoaminas, embora a diminuição da função noradrenérgica, GABAérgica e serotoninérgica também sejam apontadas como facilitadores das crises epilépticas. Diante disso, esta pesquisa objetivou relacionar a depressão e epilepsia, compreender se o tratamento de uma doença pode predispor a outra e analisar se o ômega-3 seria um adjuvante no tratamento de ambas. A partir da revisão sistemática, observou-se que depressão é a principal patologia psiquiátrica da epilepsia, tendo elas uma relação bidirecional, sem uma ordem cronológica estabelecida. Ademais, percebeu-se que o tratamento com benzodiazepínicos e barbitúricos para epilepsia por mais de seis meses está relacionado ao desenvolvimento da depressão, unindo-se a outros fatores de risco e a falta apoio durante o diagnóstico. Por fim, não foram encontrados nos trabalhos relação entre ômega-3 e o tratamento das patologias.

Authors: Azadmehr Farhad , Membari Kosar , Zareie Farzad , Emami Payam
Published: October 2024

Introduction: Despite significant advances in medicine, cancer remains one of the most important diseases of the present century. One of the most common and debilitating cancer-related problems experienced by patients at any stage of the disease is fatigue, which may be due to a disease or related treatment that is called cancer-related fatigue. The present study aimed at determining the relationship between demographic and clinical factors and cancer-related fatigue in patients referring to oncology clinics. Methods: A total of 160 cancer patients entered the present descriptive-correlational study. The participants were selected based on convenience sampling. Data collection tools included demographic information and a multidimensional fatigue symptom inventory-short form. Finally, the obtained data were analyzed using SPSS 22. Results: The results of the independent t test demonstrated a significant difference in the mean total score of fatigue in patients with and without a family history of cancer (P=0.016, t=2.429). However, no significant difference was observed between the mean total score of fatigue in patients with and without a history of drug use (P=0.314, t=-1.010). The results of a one-way analysis of variance revealed that there was no significant difference between marital status and general level of fatigue (P=0.122, F=1.961). Conclusion: Based on the findings, the type of treatment and family history of cancer were linked to cancer-related fatigue. This suggests that, in addition to offering physical care and nursing interventions, considering the demographic and clinical aspects of cancer patients can be crucial in effectively addressing fatigue in these individuals.

Published: October 2024

Background: The central preparation and sterilization unit plays a vital role in supporting operating rooms and other departments by providing tools for cleaning, disinfection, assembly, packaging, and sterilization. This study aimed to determine the conformity between the standards of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the practices of the Central Sterile Services Department (CSSD) in selected operation rooms at Ayatollah Kashani Hospital, Shahrekord University of Medical Sciences. Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was conducted from 2019 to 2020 using a cross-sectional approach. The census method was used for sampling. A researcher-made checklist was used to collect the data, the validity of which was approved by 10 faculty members of the School of Nursing and Midwifery. Furthermore, test-retest reliability was used to verify the checklist. The obtained data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and independent t-tests via SPSS software version 21. Results: The findings showed that the scores for safety and personal protection measures (P=0.35) and equipment packing, sterilization, and storage practices did not comply with CDC standards at Kashani Hospital in Shahrekord. However, there was conformity in the physical score, environmental control, decontamination, transfer of contaminated items to the CDC department, device arrangement, and recall process for non-sterile items (P=0.038). Conclusion: The central sterilization ward of the operating room complied with CDC criteria in most cases. Cases of non-compliance were due to insufficient budget and training; therefore, cases that are inconsistent with the standards should be identified, and positive steps should be taken to fully align the methods with the standards to prevent patient complications and possible damage.

Published: October 2024

Este estudo foi desenvolvido com o objetivo de realizar uma análise comparativa entre o Sistema de Avaliação da Educação Básica (Saeb) e o Programa de Avaliação da Educação Básica do Espírito Santo (Paebes), com foco nos delineamentos metodológicos e nos resultados obtidos em Matemática pelas escolas de Ensino Médio do Estado. Por meio de uma pesquisa de método misto com perspectiva exploratória sequencial, identificaram-se convergências significativas entre as duas avaliações nas edições de 2017, 2019 e 2021, com destaque para a concepção dos cadernos de prova, as matrizes de referência, escalas de proficiência e padrões de desempenho. Análises quantitativas demonstram uma forte correlação entre os resultados, sem diferenças estatisticamente significativas nas médias de proficiência. Embora reconheça as vantagens do Paebes, como a realização anual das avaliações e a rápida disponibilização dos resultados para os gestores estaduais, o estudo suscita reflexões sobre o alto investimento público para sua organização e realização, especialmente quando o Saeb apresenta características e resultados educacionais tão próximos. Também se discute sobre a exaustiva rotina de avaliações externas, que frequentemente consome um tempo considerável das escolas, às vezes em detrimento do desenvolvimento de atividades pedagógicas essenciais para o processo de ensino e de aprendizagem dos estudantes.

Mechanisms of youth involvement in public associations: a regional case
Authors: Mitrofanova Svetlana Yu.
Published: October 2024

The article is based on the implementation of a collective project of studying the identities of modern youth and the practices of their consolidation in the Samara region (S.Yu. Mitrofanova, N = 541 (quantitative stage), N = 12 (qualitative stage), 2023), strategy of mixing methods was used. One of the objectives of the project was to identify mechanisms for involving young people in public associations. The case of the Samara region served as the basis for achieving this goal. The author's understanding of the mechanism of involving young people in the activities of public associations is proposed. Special attention is paid to the activities of the young themselves, as well as the channels and circumstances of youth involvement in public associations. The primary role of the actor in the operation of the mechanism is proved. The young people's own activities are related to their desire for ‟internal” and/or ‟external” self-realization. Formal and informal channels of youth involvement in public associations have been identified. The circumstances that promote and hinder young people in their social activities are indicated. Two types of mechanisms are identified: ‟open doors” and selection. Various mechanisms operates at different stages of transit through public organizations, and in associations of different orientation.
Genetic analysis of pedagogical interaction in a Japanese school
Authors: Shenderovskaya Nataliya S.
Published: October 2024

The article presents an analysis of the main social, historical and philosophical factors that influenced the formation of the foundations of pedagogical interaction in Japanese schools. The relevance of the study is due to the need to study pedagogical interaction in the modern world, when the education of professionally and socially competent workers capable of creativity in a rapidly changing reality is one of the main tasks of education. The influence of the pre-literate period of the history of this country on the formation of the characteristics of pedagogical interaction and methods of transferring knowledge when teaching students was examined. The role of Zen Buddhism and Confucianism in shaping the image of the teacher as a key figure and their influence on the choice of methods of his interaction with students was also considered, while emphasizing the teaching of morals and etiquette in medieval schools. The analysis shows that an important stage in the formation of traditions of communication between people on the Japanese archipelago (in the field of education as well) is the non-written period, when the only forms of communication were oral and non-verbal. The considered factors served as a prerequisite for the choice of teaching methods through direct perception of information and the personal approach of the teacher, both in medieval schools and as part of teaching traditional arts.
The relationship between hardiness and conceptual abilities
Authors: Volkova Natalia E.
Published: October 2024

Despite the significant amount of research devoted to the study of hardiness, the data on the relationship between hardiness and academic success is inconsistent. On one hand, there is a positive correlation between hardiness and biologically determined properties of temperament, on the other hand, it is shown that cognitive interventions have the greatest effect and that hardiness can be developed. Based on the literature analysis, we can assume that conceptual abilities can be factors contributing to changes in hardiness. To verify this hypothesis, a study was conducted that included 299 young people studying socio-humanitarian and economic faculties at the age between 18 and 24 years old. The diagnostic complex included tests of conceptual abilities and the questionnaire of hardiness and temperament. The model of relationships between the indicators of conceptual abilities and indicators of hardiness under the control of intellectual activity and intellectual emotionality showed that intellectual activity and intellectual emotionality have a significant influence on hardiness; the influence of categorical abilities on hardiness manifests itself differently at different levels of the ability to elementary logical operations.
Teaching the history of the native land in the national republics of the Volga Federal District (based on the materials of published work programs)

Published: October 2024

Currently, more and more attention are being paid to the task of educating the Russian spiritual character, the main features of which are love for the Fatherland, understanding and responsible fulfillment of civic duties, national identity, the pursuit of justice, faith, conscience and honor. In many ways, the spiritual character is brought up in the process of studying in educational institutions of different levels. In this regard, there is a search for ways to effectively transfer values that are important to our society. This leads to the actualization of the study of the history of the native land as a discipline that develops the patriotic qualities of students. Local history has a unique character, which calls for interest in the experience of teaching the history of the native land in every region of Russia. Since this discipline contributes to the transfer of cultural and moral values of the peoples of Russia, it is advisable to analyze the implementation of local lore in national republics, for example, in the Volga Federal District. Official documents posted on the websites of educational organizations allow you to trace the organization of the process of teaching the history of your native land. In addition, this approach allows you to assess the availability of electronic information resources as well as the timeliness of their appearance.
