AI-Driven Mental Health Solutions for Healthcare Worker Burnout: A Strategic Approach (Preprint)
Authors: Heydari Kimia , Arraiza-Carlo Bianca , Rao Arya , Succi Marc
Published: February 2025

UNSTRUCTURED

Healthcare worker burnout and mental health challenges have intensified following the COVID-19 pandemic, with over 50% of physicians experiencing burnout symptoms and approximately 25% reporting anxiety and depression. While healthcare institutions have implemented various mental health interventions, widespread stigma and fears of professional consequences continue to prevent many healthcare workers from seeking help. This paper proposes the implementation of artificial intelligence (AI)-based chatbots as a potential solution to address this crisis. Drawing from successful examples like the Wysa mobile app, we outline key guidelines for healthcare organizations to incorporate AI chatbots as mental health support tools. These guidelines emphasize three essential pillars: continuous model development, robust data management, and interdisciplinary collaboration. The framework suggests using chatbots trained on PHQ questionnaires and CBT scaffolds as preliminary intervention tools, while maintaining strong privacy protocols and human oversight. By serving as co-pilots to traditional mental health care, AI chatbots could provide accessible, stigma-free support for healthcare workers while helping to address the current shortage of mental health providers. This approach offers a promising pathway to combat physician burnout and improve mental health outcomes in the healthcare workforce. NA NA NA NA

BACKGROUND

Mastering medical terminology is a significant challenge for students in the health sciences due to the extensive and complex nature of the subject matter. Traditional learning methods often lead to surface-level memorization and reduced engagement. Digital serious games offer an innovative, interactive, and adaptive approach to medical education, potentially enhancing learning outcomes and motivation.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a mobile-based serious educational game, MedQuiz, in improving medical terminology acquisition and user satisfaction among allied healthcare students.

METHODS

A randomized controlled trial (RCT) with a parallel-group design was conducted among undergraduate students enrolled in Health Information Technology (HIT) and Speech Therapy programs. Participants were randomly assigned to either the intervention group (n = 30), which used MedQuiz alongside traditional lecture-based instruction, or the control group (n = 30), which received only conventional teaching. The System Usability Scale (SUS) and Heuristic Evaluation of Playability (HEP) frameworks were used to assess usability and engagement. Learning outcomes were measured through pre- and post-test scores, while student perceptions were evaluated using the MEEGA+ questionnaire. Data were analyzed using ANCOVA to control for baseline differences.

RESULTS

A total of 60 students completed the study. The intervention group demonstrated a significantly higher post-test mean score (28.23 ± 8.74) compared to the control group (20.8 ± 7.79, P < 0.001), while no significant differences were found in pre-test scores (P = 0.31). The usability of MedQuiz was rated highly, with a SUS score of 90.36%. HEP analysis revealed high ratings for engagement (4.6/5), competitiveness (4.8/5), and feedback system (4.7/5). No significant gender-based differences were observed (P = 0.819). MEEGA+ assessment indicated favorable usability (3.44/5) and learning effectiveness (3.56/5), though entertainment value (2.95/5) suggested room for improvement in gamification features.

CONCLUSIONS

The findings support MedQuiz as an effective and engaging tool for medical terminology learning, significantly improving knowledge acquisition and student motivation. Its modular and adaptive design allows for potential expansion into other medical education domains. Future research should focus on long-term knowledge retention, cross-disciplinary implementation, and integration of AI-driven personalized learning features to further optimize its educational impact.

Comparative Study of Two Chinese Versions of To the Lighthouse from Eco-feminism’s View
Authors: Li Ziyuan
Published: February 2025

With the advancement of ecological theory, ecological crises have become a major problem on a worldwide scale. Eco-feminism, as a new branch of theory, is a theory produced by the interaction between the feminism movement and Ecologism in the process of development. Eco-feminism believes that in a patriarchal society, both nature and women are oppressed by human beings, so women have a natural connection with nature. In addition to being one of the forerunners of feminist literature, Virginia Woolf is regarded as the most gifted female author in the annals of English literature. Her feminist literature "To the Lighthouse" has been deeply studied by scholars and interpreted from the perspective of Eco-feminism. They found that this work embodied the ideas of anti-anthropocentrism, anti-androcentrism and creating a harmonious environment, which are all core elements of Eco-feminists. There are a lot of scenes describing women and nature, man and nature in the To the Lighthouse, which reflects the author's Eco-feminism thought. This paper chooses Ma Ainong's translation and Qu Shijing's translation as the research object, aiming to explore the embodiment of Eco-feminism in the two translations, as well as the selection and application of translation strategies and techniques.

Published: February 2025

The studies were performed on Dekalb White cross-breeding chickens in labora- tory conditions at the Far Eastern Zone Research Veterinary Institute. Two groups were formed:
the control group received the main diet PK 3-29, and the experimental group received a rosehip
supplement of 4% of the feed weight. The biochemical composition of blood serum was studied,
characterizing protein metabolism (total protein and its fractions, creatinine), lipid-carbohydrate
metabolism (cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose), mineral metabolism (calcium, inorganic phosphorus, magnesium), and the functional state of the liver (bilirubin, aspartate aminotransferase,
alanine aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase). At the initial stage of the experiment, deviations
in blood parameters from normal values were detected in the chickens of the control and experimental groups. Thus, the excess of the normal amount of total protein and albumin was recorded
by 5.1 and 10.2% and by 36.5 and 41.0% with a reduced concentration of α-globulins by 16.4 and
23.8%, β-globulins by 21.8 and 31.3% with an increase in the percentage of γ-globulins by 7.3 and
10.7%, respectively. Hypoglycemia was noted by 17.4 and 19.7%, respectively. The bilirubin concentration exceeded the norm by 26.3%. ALT activity was above the norm by 39.5 and 63.2%, the
level of AST activity did not reach its values by 7.8 and 8.5%, the activity of alkaline phosphatase
was reduced by 13.4 and 29.9%, respectively. At the end of the experiment, in comparison with
the control, the experimental group birds showed an increase in alkaline phosphatase by 36.1%,
the amount of phosphorus by 35.3%, the concentration of total protein by 22.2%, β-globulins by
28.4%, and a decrease in AST by 11.1%, ALT by 8.6%, and cholesterol by 17.5%. The introduction of a rosehip-based herbal supplement into the diet of egg-laying chickens did not negatively
affect the bird's body. At the same time, it was found that the supplement has a positive effect on
the bird's metabolism, including lipids, carbohydrates, minerals, and proteins.

Published: February 2025

University ranking is crucial as it attracts prospective students and academics. The ranking of public research universities in Malaysia works as a catalyst for securing government and other corporate research funding. This study measures the technical efficiency of five public research universities in Malaysia (PRUMs). This study employs a triangular fuzzy number in the Banker, Charnes, and Cooper (BCC) Fuzzy Data Envelopment Analysis (BCC-FDEA) model. The three world ranking indicators employed as output variables are teaching and research reputations and citations, and the input variables are the number of full-time students and staff. Data gathered for the academic years from 2018/2019 to 2020/2021 are used to project the efficiency scores for 2021/2022. The BCC-FDEA model is also used to consider five public research universities in Asia (APRUs) as the decision-making units (DMUs) to solve the issue of sample size adequacy. This study projects three PRUMs as technically inefficient due to input factor issues. Two main contributions of this study are: (1) QS world ranking indicators are profound parameters that research universities should consider to attain a better position in the world ranking; (2) fuzzy efficiency scores shed light on how inefficient PRUMs can improve their operations by emulating their referent DMUs.
Implications of Artificial Intelligence and Robots for Employment and Labor Productivity: Firm-Level Evidence from the Republic of Korea
Authors:   Asian Development Bank, Park Donghyun , Shin Kwanho ,   Department of Economics, Korea University
Published: February 2025

Examining data from firms in the Republic of Korea, this paper finds that artificial intelligence (AI) and robots differ in their impacts on employment and labor productivity.
It finds that AI has a more positive overall impact on labor market outcomes. While both adopting AI and adopting robots increase employment, only adopting AI improves labor productivity. However, those productivity gains are associated with a decrease in the labor share of income. In addition, there is no evidence that firms adopting both robots and AI improve their labor productivity, potentially reflecting a lack of synergy.
A complex assessment of the Nenets reindeer population using phenotype indicators depending on polymorphism of meat productivity genes
Authors: Abramova Marina , Ilina Anna , Evdokimov Evgeny , Konovalov Аlexander
Published: February 2025

The aim of the study was to study the genetic structure of the reindeer
population of the native Nenets breed and to evaluate the morphometric
parameters in the resulting genetic groups. Pearson's Chi-square (?2) test
was used to assess the statistical significance of differences between the
empirical and theoretical genotype frequencies. Theoretical occurrence
frequencies were calculated based on the Hardy-Weinberg law. A z-test was
used to identify partial differences between the empirical and theoretical
distributions. The software Python 3.9.7, GenAlEx 6.51 was used for data
processing and statistical analysis. The population studied according to STR
profiles is split into three independent groups (I, II, III) with sizes of
33, 53, 16 individuals, respectively. Genetic differentiation between the
identified subpopulations was weak, but statistically significant (Fst =
0.022, p = 0.01). The greatest differentiation is observed between
subpopulations I and III (Fst = 0.025, p = 0.03), while the differences
between I - II and II - III are less pronounced (Fst = 0.017, Fst = 0.015).
In subpopulations I and II, all loci are polymorphic; in subpopulation III,
only 93.75% of the loci are polymorphic. The average number of alleles per
locus is 6.44?0.63, 6.56?0.60, 5.25?0.54, respectively, for
subpopulations I, II, III. The effective number of alleles for
subpopulations is 3.73?0.44, 3.55?0.38, 3.40?0.40, respectively. The Shannon
information index for the three subpopulations is at the same level and
amounts to 1.38?0.13, 1.36?0.12, 1.27?0.13. The distribution according to
the Hardy-Weinberg law and the empirical distribution of heads according to
the genotypes of the growth hormone gene AA, and BB are statistically
significantly different and are 36.603:47.795:15.603 and 22:77:1,
respectively. Therefore, this equilibrium is absent in the studied
population and a shift in the distribution of allele frequencies is
observed. Genetic drift, migration processes or selection pressure may
mediate such a shift. For the myostatin gene, no statistically significant
differences were found between the theoretically expected and empirical
distributions of genotypes. Females with the GHAA genotype had a higher live
weight than their peers with the GHgenotype. The study of reindeer
exterior measurements and physique indices in conjunction with somatotropin
gene polymorphism found that individuals with the GHAA genotype outperform
their peers with the GHgenotype, while low variability of indicators for
these traits was observed. In the studied sample of both sex and age groups,
a rather high value of the Gregory index (0.86...0.99) was found, which is
typical for beef cattle. The obtained results can serve as the basis for the
development of a system of genetic assessment in reindeer breeding and
indicate the priority groups of animals for further breeding.
How to use the machines in a clever and safe way: some major etichal and legal challenges of the use of artificial intelligence
Authors: Djurkovic Misa , Cemalovic Uros
Published: February 2025

The authors start from the fact that artificial intelligence (AI) has largely
become a part of daily lives and that it strongly impacts the functioning of
societies, but also the existing legal frameworks. Therefore, they addressed
the ethical and legal challenges that the use of generative AI brings in
these two fields. The first chapter of this article examines the most
important ethical issues and challenges raised by the advent of AI, which
are dealt with even by the companies that develop the same AI. The authors
point to a series of problems related to issues such as transparency and
bias, the use of AI in creative industries, dilemmas with regards to
attempts to apply AI in judicial practice, issues AI raises for the existing
intellectual property, but also to potential problems related to the use of
autonomous vehicles and weapons. The second chapter provides an analysis of
prohibited AI practices according to the EU Regulation adopted in June 2024,
as well as a general assessment of the scope and possible difficulties in
the implementation of this act in the member states of the Union.
Å øke ambisjonene for urbant landbruk i det offentlige rom: å fremme urban agroøkologi og planetær helse
Authors: Tornaghi Chiara
Published: February 2025

Building on 15 years of research in the field of urban agriculture, this chapter discusses key issues that refrain urban agriculture from achieving its full potential, in terms of human and non-human health, and offers a few pointers for informing policy and practice. First, the author offers a brief overview of how the key challenges of western urbanisation (climate change, people’s health and the destruction of nature) intersect with urban agriculture and what promises lay ahead for this rediscovered practice. The second part highlights a number of shortcomings in urban planning policy, including (i) the failure to consider urban agriculture as a food-producing practice, (ii) the invisibility of soil and lack of understanding of the role of living soils and (iii) the failure to consider the role that soil-cares and food-producing specialists (farmers!) can play in advising on healthy public land design and soil management. Part three discusses how agroecological considerations can deepen and expand the ambition of urban agriculture in public space and bring about more-than-human health. The conclusions offer a summary of the challenges, critical issues, and learning points discussed in the previous three sections and highlight their connection to the concept of ‘agroecological urbanism’.

Å dyrke offentlighet gjennom urbant landbruk: læring fra Århus og Rotterdam
Authors: Murphy Melissa Anna , Grabalov Pavel
Published: February 2025

This chapter sets out to explore how urban agriculture can contribute to the development of the capabilities of gardeners and the larger urban community. Our study of cases in Aarhus (Denmark) and Rotterdam (the Netherlands) aimed to understand how different municipalities facilitate urban agriculture and how different urban agriculture initiatives perform in public space. In the analysis of the initiatives, we drew on a conceptualization of publicness focused on interactions in and products from physical space that link people. With an emphasis on a definition of public that is greater than the gardeners involved in each initiative, we identify four trajectories in urban agriculture’s public service, which include increasing access and animation in public space, contributing to social services, producing and distributing food, and building communities to spread cultivation knowledge. These trajectories structure our presentation and discussion of selected urban agriculture initiatives. While not mutually exclusive, the four areas of service place different strains upon the public space ideal of physical access. We find that food production and social services may be little suited for urban spaces that demand high levels of public access, though these benefits can reach broad public if localized and facilitated appropriately.
Urbant landbruk i det offentlige rom: erfaringer fra Oslo
Authors: Evensen Katinka Horgen , Stafseng Vebjørn Egner
Published: February 2025

In this chapter we present case studies from Oslo (2018–2020), in which we explore ways of integrating urban agriculture in urban public spaces. We collected project initiators’ and managers’ experiences through interviews from eight urban agriculture projects representing a range of typologies, scales, and organizational models, from the city farm to small experimental cultivation projects. The objective is to uncover motivations, organizational issues of urban agriculture in public space, potential well-being impacts for city dwellers, and publicness aspects for a broader community. We find that the urban agriculture projects are motivated by the goal of creating social meeting places and learning arenas for cultivation and ecological knowledge. Urban agriculture is also used as a tool in local urban space development, activating and ensuring the safety of unused spaces by incorporating urban agriculture into public spaces. Additionally, these projects introduce innovative ways to integrate cultivation into green space management. We discuss supporting and challenging factors to succeed with practicing urban agriculture in public space. To ensure accessibility for large and diverse segments of urban populations, we found that perceived publicness of spaces could be increased through deliberate design.
Fra oppskrift til tilpasning i fremtidens produktive by: klasseromsinspirerte prinsipper for design og planlegging av urbant landbruk
Authors: Ruggeri Deni
Published: February 2025

This chapter reflects on the educational experiences connected to the Cultivating Public Space project. From the onset, the project sought to engage students in creating a toolbox for urban agriculture in public space. Within the classroom, students translated the research findings, activities, and knowledge co-produced by the project partners into sustainable development and urban regeneration strategies based on urban agriculture communities and fully activate its potential as an engine of community cohesion and integration. This required thinking of urban agriculture as more than a collection of objects – boxes, toolsheds, and paths – but as holistic multifunctional landscapes designed to cultivate biophilia, food justice, public health, and community identity. It also demanded celebrating the uniqueness of each context and building upon each locale’s distinctiveness to co-create new visions exemplified as personal and collective stories of adaptation and transformations for all community members. The chapter ends with reflections on a few emergent principles inspired by the partnership between students and the communities to guide future urban agriculture research and practice.

Published: February 2025

This study aimed to assess the relevance of sex-disaggregated budget information in reducing gender inequality and poverty among women in Nigeria, focusing on Gender Responsive Budgeting (GRB) and its impact on women's educational and socio-economic empowerment, as well as its potential to enhance inclusiveness and peaceful co-existence. Using a qualitative methods approach, the research involved qualitative interviews with key stakeholders. Findings revealed that while efforts to integrate gender considerations into public budgets have been made, significant gaps remain in achieving full gender responsiveness. Budget allocations for critical sectors such as education, health, and social welfare showed improvements but were often insufficient, especially in rural areas. In terms of socio-economic empowerment, GRB facilitated women's access to vocational training, microfinance, and entrepreneurship support, leading to improved economic independence and household incomes. The study concludes that for GRB to be more effective, there needs to be stronger political commitment, enhanced capacity building, increased budget allocations for critical sectors, community engagement, improved infrastructure, and robust data collection.
The Effect of Audit Committee Activities, Internal Audit Personnel, and Company Complexity on Audit Fees
Authors: Alamsyah Andrea , Januarti Indira
Published: February 2025

The determination of the amount of audit fees paid by companies to public accountants can be influenced by various factors. This study aims to examine the effect of audit committee activity, internal audit personnel, and company complexity on audit fees. The research population is manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the 2019-2022 period. The total research sample was 165 observation data. The analysis tool uses multiple linear regression. The results showed that company complexity and internal audit personnel had a positive effect on audit fees. Meanwhile, the audit committee activity variable has no positive effect on audit fees. Thus the KAP selection method uses a demand approach. The implications of this study indicate that the selection of KAP tends to be reputable so that no matter how good the supervision carried out by the audit committee or internal audit personnel, the audit fees will also remain high.
Neoliberalismo, subjetividade e indústria cultural no Brasil
Authors: Rodeguero Stefanuto Jéssica Raquel
Published: February 2025

As crises contemporâneas do capital têm mobilizados esforços no sentido de gerir o mal-estar social voltando-o contra inimigos projetados que passam a ser alvos de uma violência autoritária. A indústria cultural musical oferece sua parcela de justificativa, de convencimento e de naturalização das relações desumanas que exploram a natureza e os seres humanos como se não houvesse alternativa. É nesse contexto que o presente trabalho propõe uma interpretação da relação entre as crises do neoliberalismo, a gestão dos afetos e o avanço hegemônico de um certo gênero da indústria cultural musical no Brasil financiado pelos setores econômicos que buscam se reestruturar e se fortalecer às custas do que quer que seja. Para tanto, este trabalho volta-se para os fundamentos da Teoria Crítica da Sociedade e ensaia uma interpretação da realidade contemporânea que articula as transformações do modo de produção diante das crises, a gestão de afetos e de processos de subjetivação que buscam garantir a autoconservação dos sujeitos.
Sobre as Escuelas de Iniciación Deportiva (EIDEs)
Authors: Beschizza Valentin Renato
Published: February 2025

No presente artigo, procuramos analisar e discutir a história das Escuelas de Iniciación Deportiva (EIDEs), que foram instituídas pelo Estado cubano em meados da década de 1960, com o objetivo de promover a formação de atletas através do esporte escolar. O recorte histórico deste artigo tem o seu início no ano de 1964, quando surge a primeira EIDE, estendendo-se até o final da década de 1970. Para fundamentar as nossas análises e reflexões sobre as EIDEs, nos apoiamos sobre publicações da imprensa cubana à época, sobretudo a imprensa esportiva. Com base nos resultados da investigação, concluímos que a iniciação esportiva em Cuba pós-revolução visava a elevação do nível técnico dos atletas cubanos e, simultaneamente, a formação do “homem novo” no campo esportivo.
desafio da gestão da educação na sociedade informacional
Authors: Cristaldo Rômulo Carvalho , De Almeida Cristaldo Adriana
Published: February 2025

Nesse ensaio, o objetivo é abordar a gestão da educação como um espaço de fricção entre interesses e expectativas contraditórias, para destacar como a natureza da gestão capitalista, no contexto da sociedade informacional e da efervescência das novas tecnologias de informação e comunicação (TICs), produz ali um rol de contradições e desafios para a educação. O método empregado na elaboração desse estudo foi a revisão narrativa de literatura, ilustrada por argumentação lógico-dedutiva e reflexão histórica. Como resultado, chega-se à sugestão de que o campo da educação, ao mesmo tempo em que se encontra obrigado (ou mesmo desejoso) em assimilar as novas TICs, estas chegam com a pretensão e potencial de ressignificar e transformar as bases dos processos de ensino e aprendizagem, relações de trabalho, métodos e procedimentos, objetivos etc. Tal dinâmica imporia à gestão da educação o desafio de contemporizar interesses contraditórios, num contexto de mudanças estruturais e incerteza.

O objetivo deste artigo é relacionar a expansão rápida e desordenada da cidade de São Paulo com as transformações de uma escola-fazenda fundada em 1915, no atual bairro do Capão Redondo, para formar a liderança nativa da Igreja Adventista do Sétimo Dia (IASD) no Brasil. No caso do entorno do UNASP, a roça virou favela e a periferia paulistana bateu à porta. Por isso, nos anos 1980, quando dois terços da antiga fazenda da instituição foram desapropriados, a IASD teve que lidar com o dilema de fechar o UNASP ou reformular sua proposta educacional, historicamente atravessada por uma tensão campo-cidade. A metodologia desta pesquisa consiste na revisão bibliográfica existente e na análise documental de fontes primárias pertencentes à subprefeitura de Campo Limpo e ao Centro de Memória do UNASP.
Schrödinger’s wave quantum mechanics is actually the corpuscular-wave mechanics of a non-relativistic electron.
Authors: Джомирзоев Субхон
Published: February 2025

The hundred and fifty years ago, I.Newton, in his corpuscular classic mechanics (CCM), introduced mass as an initial quantity, and, an its basis, defined other corpuscular quantities of CCM. And a hundred years ago, the corpuscular-wave properties of microparticles testified to the inherent corpuscular-wave quantities (CWQ), which as the initial value had the product of mass and wavelength. Accordingly, just as Newton’s CCM was based on corpuscular quantities, corpuscular-wave mechanics (CWM) should have been based on CWQ in the same way. But a hundred years ago, Plank’s and Einstein, to describe the corpuscular-wave properties of the photon, used hybrid of corpuscular quantities Newton’s CCM and wave quantities of wave optics, which a priori, by their definition, were insufficient to describe the CWQ of the photon. Subsequently, de Broglie and Schrödinger applied the method of Planck and Einstein to the case of a non-relativistic electron (NE), and obtained wave quantum mechanics (WQM). But the WQM he obtained turned out to be a real puzzle, and now, a hundred years later, l was able to discover that in reality WQM is an incomplete version of the CWM NE. The campaign managed to find out that Newton’s CCM arises in the form of a special case of the CWM macroscopic body. In this regard, now, l seem to be a Tajikistan physicist who discovered CWQ and CWM physics.
Resilience of small and medium-sized enterprises in the German-Polish border region under changing economic conditions
Authors: Majchrzak Magdalena , Ejsmont Aneta
Published: February 2025

SME resilience, interpreted as the resistant, flexibility and strategic revitalisation capacity of an organisation, takes on particular importance under conditions of extraordinary threats (e.g. COVID 19 pandemic, war in Ukraine). The important role of SMEs in the economies of many countries makes the resilience of companies in this sector, in times of crisis, crucial for the private sector, national economies and the global economy. The aim of this research is to identify the resilience factors of SMEs in changing economic conditions. The research hypothesis is formulated as follows: the resilience factors of SMEs are time-varying and require constant monitoring to maintain enterprise resilience. The verification of the hypothesis and the realisation of the objective will be carried out through theoretical and empirical studies of SMEs in Poland (West Pomeranian Voivodeship) and Germany (Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and Brandenburg). The analysis of the resilience of SMEs in economically and socially highly interconnected areas located in different countries is.

The aim of the article is to examine the impact of non-economic factors on consumer purchasing decisions depending on their place of residence. The article discusses non-economic factors influencing consumer purchasing decisions. To verify the research hypothesis regarding the relationship between place of residence and consumer buying behavior, the Mann-Whitney U test was used. The results obtained from the study conducted on a group of 250 consumers residing in the Mazowieckie Voivodeship do not unequivocally confirm that the place of residence influences consumer purchasing decisions.

Proper management and use of this intangible resource have a crucial impact on the operation of the company and its real chances of success. Entrepreneurs are aware that employed employees have a considerable impact on the success of the company - without them, success would not be possible and indeed very difficult to achieve. The publication presents the results of a study on employee involvement in work and company involvement in knowledge management in selected companies in the Podkarpacie region.
Methods of classification and evaluation of LSP services - in a turbulent environment
Authors: Zysińska Małgorzata , Żak Jolanta
Published: February 2025

The article represents subsequent part of the cyclical publications of the Laboratory of Economics and Accessibility of Transport (former Department of Economic Research).There is a large variety of services offered by companies operating in the LSP sector (transport, forwarding and logistics) in Poland. These companies differ in size, organizational structure, ownership, and business model. There are many companies that provide only one type of logistics services, e.g. transport, warehousing, contract logistics, and many entities that offer a wide range of logistics services. In Poland, the LSP sector is currently undergoing profound transformations, which are the result of post-pandemic changes, restrictions of the current war in Ukraine and the implementation of the so-called Mobility Package, which affect not only the condition of individual companies, but also dismantling or transforming the existing supply chains. However, there is still no uniform method of classifying and evaluating LSP services that would be widely applicable and would ensure comparability of results according to specific criteria. The aim of the article is to review the existing classifications and methods of evaluating LSP services and to propose our own taxonomy considering the changes and trends observed in the Polish LSP sector. The article presents definition of logistics services, their components and evaluation criteria. The analytical part discusses the structure of companies providing these services on the Polish LSP market. Empirical results for the strategic segmentation of the LSP sector are presented. The authors presented methodological problems of analysing and presenting the results of LSP units. They also proposed their own balanced method of ranking LSP companies. To this end, they reviewed the available ranking methods. Considering the identified limitations and the results of the study of correlations between indicators used to create publicly available LSP rankings, a new method was proposed, indicating the way of selecting evaluation measures. Economic measures belonging to various groups of analysis used in the economic analysis and assessment of the investment potential of LSP companies were considered. In the proposed method of ranking LSP companies, the authors also considered the fleet emissivity measure, which is of particular importance among the still dominant transport sector on the Polish LSP market.

The Strategy Formulation to Confine the Escalating Wage Bill: A Case of Limpopo Provincial Government
Authors: Mudogwa Mbavhalelo Robert , Moeti Kabelo Boikhutso , Mukonza Ricky Munyarazi
Published: February 2025

Many African countries face difficult choices in managing the size of their public sector wage bill, which poses an acute threat to fiscal and macro-economic stability. The wage bill accounts for a growing share of government expenditures across Southern Africa and threatens to stifle the government's normal operations. The high public sector wage bill compromises service delivery because a substantial amount is committed to employees' salaries and benefits. Governments need to restrain the rising public sector wage personnel expenditure while at the same time taking into account the government's significant priorities as far as development is concerned. Most countries worldwide that struggle to compete effectively in the global economy review their compensation practices to return to fiscal balance. The proper control over the public purse is fundamental to any responsible government. This includes all spheres of government such as National, Provincial and Local Government.
 Government departments must focus on delivering quality public services by effectively managing their wage bill through adequate fiscal planning and employment flexibility. In addition, with the rise of technological innovation, governments need to relook at the size of public service and alternative service delivery approaches that will drastically lower the wage bill without hampering the provisioning of services.
The paper aims to formulate a strategy to confine the government's escalating wage bill by strengthening resource planning, estimating, costing, budgeting, and controlling personnel expenditure. The setting for this study is Limpopo Province in South Africa. Empirical data were collected by administering semi-structured interviews, and the gathered data were thematically presented and analyzed.

Healthcare Institutions Readiness Towards Blockchain Technology Adoption: A Case Study of Hospitals in Ethiopia
Authors: Kore Tamirat , Rorisa Abebe , Mamo Getachew
Published: February 2025

This study aimed to evaluate healthcare staff attitudes toward blockchain technology, determine the current readiness level of hospitals in Ethiopia for blockchain technology adoption, and examine the relationship between attitude and adoption readiness. The research design was mixed-method, with participants selected through purposive and simple random sampling from Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital and Armed Forces Comprehensive Specialized Hospital in Addis Ababa, totaling 75 individuals. Researchers gathered data using structured questionnaires and conducted semi-structured interviews. They analyzed this data employing descriptive statistics and content analysis methodologies. The study revealed that hospital staff generally hold neutral to positive attitudes towards blockchain technology's perceived usefulness and ease of use. Moreover, TASH has a low readiness score, while AFCSH has a medium readiness score. The combined readiness assessment of the two hospitals was found to be low. A weak positive correlation was found between staff attitudes and readiness (r = 0.016 and p < 0.01). It is recommended that TASH take immediate strategic measures to improve its readiness levels. In contrast, AFCSH requires some minor to moderate improvements in cybersecurity measures, staff training programs, and robust governance strategies before adopting blockchain technology
