Published: May 2024

Objective: Surgical site infections [SSI] are regarded as a serious clinical issue and is associated with higher morbidity and death rates. SSIs are defined as infections that develop in the body area where surgery was performed and classified as superficial, deep, and organ-specific. The pathophysiology of SSIs has been linked to both exogenous contamination by medical professionals or contaminated surgical instruments and endogenous contamination by skin flora. The age, obesity, diet, and preoperative hospitalization risk variables were categorized as intrinsic to the SSI. This study undertaken to assess the prevalence of SSI and the microorganisms linked to it and to determine the antibiogram of all isolates
Methods: A hospital-based prospective study conducted at Government General Hospital, Kakinada during January 2023 to December 2023. Patient information was documented, including the procedure type, kind of wound infection, wound class [clean, clean-contaminated, and contaminated], and the total number of days spent in the hospital. Pus sample was collected and subjected to Gram stain, culture and antibiotic susceptibility testing done by standard microbiological procedure.
Results: A total of 1506 procedures were performed in which 60 cases [3.9%] developed SSI. Escherichia coli was the most commonly isolated followed by S. aureus, E. faecalis, K. pneumoniae and Proteus spp. Maximum ESBL production [25%] seen in E. coli. S. aureus and E. faecalis were Susceptible to Teicoplanin, Linezolid. Gram negative bacteria were susceptible to Amikacin, Piperacillin–Tazobactam.
Conclusion: In the present study, the rate of infection is 3.9%. The common isolate was E. coli and there is an emerging drug resistance. To prevent SSIs i would suggest that frequent surveillance, appropriate pre and postsurgical management, rigorous adherence to hospital infection control protocols, and prevention of bacterial drug resistance are crucial.

This study aims to identify how the performance of conventional banking and Sharia banking differs using the RGEC approach for the 2011-2020 period by looking at the difference test between the two banks. The difference test uses the Paired Sample T-Test and the Wilcoxon test. The findings show that there are performance differences between conventional banking and Sharia banking. The most significant difference is in profitability that using variable of ROA. Furthermore, a second test was carried out using panel regression to determine the factors that can affect the profitability of the two types of banking, using bank internal factors, namely the ratio of NPL or NPF ratio and LDR or FDR and LDR s well as well as external factors, including inflation and interest rates. The findings show that the NPL has a significant negative effect on the profitability of Sharia banks. Meanwhile, LDR has a negative effect on profitability of conventional bank. Interest rates have a positive and significant effect on both conventional and sharia banking, while inflation has no significant effect on the profitability of the two types of banks. These results indicate that both types of banking need to manage banking performance by utilizing interest rate instruments which have a positive impact on increasing profitability

This study investigated the effect of ego depletion on prosocial behavior and the chain mediating role of subjective vitality and empathy in this relationship. We conducted a survey of 381 college students using standardized scales. The results showed that there were significant correlations
among ego depletion, subjective vitality, empathy, and prosocial behavior. Further regression analysis and mediation effects tests revealed that the direct effect of ego depletion on prosocial behavior was significant, and the single mediation and chain mediation effects of subjective vitality
and empathy in this relationship were also significant. The findings indicate that increasing subjective vitality helps to improve empathy and, thus, prosocial behavior.
Innovative behavior, empowerment, and work engagement: Joint curvilinear effect on well-being
Authors: Kim Cheol Young
Published: May 2024

The relationship between innovative behavior and psychological well-being has been well documented. Organizations believe that innovative behavior is essential for their survival and can increase their effectiveness, promoting employee happiness. However, the causal orientation discrepancies
between self-determination theory and conservation of resources theory predict the complexity of this relationship. I examined the curvilinear relationship between innovative behavior and psychological well-being, as well as the moderating effects of empowering leadership and work engagement
on this relationship. Analysis revealed an inverted U-shaped relationship between innovative behavior and psychological well-being, which was strengthened by empowering leadership and work engagement. Furthermore, psychological well-being positively influenced in-role performance. By revealing
the effects on performance, this study contributes to the literature on innovation and positive organizational behavior, and provides practical implications and suggestions for future research on possible nonlinearities among the examined variables.
Social support and negative emotions of Chinese older adults: Comparison of those who had been widowed to those with a spouse
Authors: Chen Jie , Tian Hua
Published: May 2024

We investigated the association between social support and negative emotions in Chinese people aged 65 years and over, by comparing those who still had a spouse with those who had been widowed. Data were drawn from the 2018 Chinese Longitudinal Health and Longevity Survey of Elders.
The results showed that there were significant differences between those who were widowed and those whose spouse was still alive in terms of the negative emotions of uselessness and loneliness, but not anxiety. The more informal and formal social support (excluding economic support and medical
insurance) these older adults had, the fewer negative emotions they felt. These findings provide theoretical and practical insights for scholars who are researching the topic of old age, and also offer practical insights for older adults to maintain their health.

In the collective work M. Gorky is presented as a publisher, editor, author of numerous publishing projects, a talented organizer and a thoughtful literary critic. Publishing activity, being versatile in its essence, corresponded to the same nature of the writer: he was definetely in love with literature, able to gather worthy like-minded people, organize active independent writers, find and support young authors. The book covers all periods of Gorky’s publishing life, starting with the “Znanie” association and ending with the projects “History of the Civil War” and “History of the Village.” Each of the participants in the collection introduces new archival materials into scientific circulation, actively uses correspondence, comprehends and voices the reasons for the emergence and closure of publishing houses and projects. The new methodology makes this collective study relevant and innovative. The book contains meaningful and necessary “Appendices”. The work is intended for philologists, publishers, editors, historians, culturologists, students, graduate students, as well as for a wide range of readers.erts, and to everyone who is interested in the traditional cultural heritage of the Mongolian-speaking peoples.
M. Gorky as the Editor-in-Chief of “Z.I. Grzhebin Publishing House”

Published: May 2024

The article examines the history of the creation by M. Gorky and Z.I. Grzhebin in 1919 of the private “Z.I. Grzhebin Publishing House” and tells about the work of this publishing house before its closure in 1924. Gorky played an important role in it as an editor-in-chief. The documents identified by us in the archives and given in the article (contracts concluded with the State Publishing House, reports of Z.I. Grzhebin Publishing House, letters of Z.G. Grinberg, Z.I. Grzhebin, M. Gorky) helps to assess the contribution that the publishing house has made to the national culture. The research was carried out in the framework of historical-comparative, descriptive, and source-based methods. Despite the very difficult political and economic circumstances under which Z.I. Grzhebin Publishing House had to exist, it managed to release about 200 books of various contents in 5 years of work. Some of them, such as “Images of Italy” by P.P. Muratov, are still being republished. The publishing house has made a significant contribution to the cultural development of Russia through its activities.
The Mediating Role of Child-Parent Relationship in the Relationship between Father’s Involvement and Support and the Social Competence of 3-6-year-old Preschool Children：Evidence from China
Authors: Yuan Haojie , Yan Zhonglian , Lei Jiayuan , Zhao Yifei
Published: May 2024

In this study, a questionnaire was administered to 634 fathers of
preschool children.The results indicated that: (1) father’s involvement
and support, child-parent relationship, and preschool children’s social
competence were all at the middle level, and there were significant
differences across demographic variables such as educational background,
average monthly income, residence, and the number of children raised;
(2) father’s involvement and support was significant positive
correlation with child-parent relationship (r=0.632, p<.001)
and preschool children’s social competence (r=0.431, p<.001);
while child-parent relationship was positively correlated with preschool
children’s social competence (r=0.434, p<.001); (3) structural
equation modeling revealed the results: father’s involvement and support
significantly predicted child-parent relationship (β=0.737,
p<.001) and preschool children’s social competence (β=0.354,
p<.001), meanwhile child-parent relationship can significantly
positively predict the social competence of preschool children (β=0.169,
p<.001); (4) further Bootstrap test shown that child-parent
relationship had a significant intermediary effect in the relationship
between father’s involvement and support and preschool children’s social
competence (95% CI=[0.050,0.387]). The findings suggest that
fathers should be mobilized to participate in parenting and provide
adequate father support for preschool children to enhance parent-child
closeness, mitigate parent-child conflict, and enhance social adaptation
and social interaction among children with low social competence.
Enhancing Sulfur Resistance of Oxides in Catalytic Oxidation by a High Entropy-Stabilized Strategy
Authors: Du Shengyu , Zhang Pengfei
Published: May 2024

Industrial chemical processes require sulfur-resistant catalysts, which
reduce catalyst replacement costs and simplify process operations.
Herein, a high-entropy-stabilized strategy was put forward for
sulfur-resistant catalysis. A high entropy
(ZnMgCuMnCoAlO)
showed stable performance in CO oxidation with SO,
while unitary oxide and binary spinel oxide were all deactivated. The
mechanism study showed that the adsorption of SO onto
ZnMgCuMnCoAlO
was challenging. Moreover,
ZnMgCuMnCoAlO
has a high degree of disorder, with five metal elements co-temporarily
living in one cell location as cations. Thermodynamic equilibrium allows
the sacrificial cations to capture the trace SO anchor
on the
ZnMgCuMnCoAlO
surface in time to protect the catalytically active cation. This work
reveals the significance of high-entropy structures in sulfur resistance
and offers a novel design strategy for sulfur-resistant catalysts.

• Climate change and impacts will continue to accelerate until the
warming influences are reduced or offset by direct cooling approaches. •
Direct climate cooling approaches have the potential to reduce local to
global portions of human-induced warming influences. • GHG emission
reduction and removal policies alone will take at least decades to halt
warming, much less restore 20 th century conditions.
