Impact of Wages and Social Compliance on Employee Job Satisfaction in the Readymade Garments Industry of Bangladesh: The Mediating Role of Employee Motivation
Authors: Islam Md. Rabiul
Published: March 2024

Despite rapid expansion, the ready-made garments (RMG) sector in Bangladesh is struggling to keep its workers satisfied. The purpose of this research is to examine the intermediary function of employee motivation in the relationship between wages and social compliance and job satisfaction in Bangladesh’s RMG sector. This study’s overarching goal is to examine the mediating function of employee motivation in the connection between wages, social compliance, employee motivation, and employee job satisfaction in the RMG sector of Bangladesh. This study uses a quantitative methodology, collecting data from 475 workers in the Bangladeshi garments sector, and analyzes it with partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data, and SmartPLS 4.0 was used for statistical analysis. The results show that wages and social compliance have a beneficial influence on worker drive and contentment. In addition, in the RMG sector of Bangladesh, the connection between pay, societal conformity, and job satisfaction is mediated by employees’ levels of motivation. The study suggests that RMG factories should focus on providing fair wages and ensuring social compliance to improve employee motivation and job satisfaction. Additionally, it is recommended that management should encourage employee motivation through training and development programs, recognition, and rewards to enhance job satisfaction.
A Comprehensive Review of Green Human Resource Management and Future Research Avenues
Authors: Chowdhury Dr. Shah Ridwan
Published: March 2024

There is emergent literature that shows the impacts that green human resource management (GHRM) has on individual outcomes, organizational outcomes, GHRM challenges, as well as drivers; but there is a scarcity of research avenues proposed to direct potential researchers in the GHRM field. For addressing this void in the literature, a literature review by following a systematic approach has been conducted of 87 papers on GHRM. The literature trends have been observed as examining the direct and indirect interrelationship between GHRM and performance through five GHRM aspects including green recruitment and selection, green training and development, green compensation and rewards, green employee involvement, and green performance management. Organizational performance dimensions include environmental, economic, social performance, corporate social responsibility (CSR) and green competitive advantage. Individual performance dimensions include green behavior, green creativity, and green innovation. This review has revealed seven thematic research gaps that should be focused on future GHRM research to make the field flourish and more mature. The originality of the paper lies in its unique nature of offering future research avenues.
Settler Colonialism and Science Fiction
Authors: Veracini Lorenzo
Published: March 2024

For those who were not Indigenous to it, the Americas were once the ‘New World’, colonies, and distant and alien places. When it comes to imagining new worlds, there is no better new world than a literally brand new one. Mars is the closest, and humans recently hurled a few sophisticated objects at it. Billionaire Elon Musk is planning to hurl a few more in that direction and turn it into a colony. Mars, however, has been mainly an imagined place. Science fiction as a literary genre has imagined it, and many other new worlds, and has routinely done so to reflect on real or impending contradictions developing in this one. The contradictions are in a sense where the new worlds are imagined from, but the new worlds are imagined as colonies located somewhere else. This paper sketches the evolution of science fiction colonialism and focuses on the ways in which it is contiguous with a political tradition I have elsewhere defined as ‘the world turned inside out’.
Mexico's Economic Dilemma
Authors: Cypher James M. , Delgado Wise Raúl
Published: March 2024

Written by two leading scholars, this book provides a detailed analysis of Mexico's political economy. James M. Cypher and Raúl Delgado Wise begin with an examination of Mexico's pivotal economic crisis of the 1980s and the consequent turn toward an export-led economy, later anchored by NAFTA. They show how Mexico, after abandoning frequently successful past practices of state-led development, disastrously tied its future to an unconditional reliance on foreign corporations to promote an export-led growth strategy.

Focusing on Mexico's cheap labor export model, the authors use the maquiladora sector and the auto industry as case studies of the perils of globalization—the "race to the bottom" as capital becomes ever more international. The government's unconstrained free-market policies, they convincingly argue, have resulted in a fragmented economy marked by stagnation, falling wages, informal part-time employment, and massive migration, which define daily life for all but a tiny minority.
From Silicon Valley to Shenzhen
Authors: Lüthje Boy , Hürtgen Stefanie , Pawlicki Peter , Sproll Martina
Published: March 2024

This seminal study explores the significant changes in the global IT industry as production has shifted from the developed world to massive sites in the developing world that house hundreds of thousands of workers in appalling low-wage conditions to minimize labor costs. Yet little is known about this phenomenon as the major contract manufacturers deliberately hide their names from the public on behalf of brand-name customers such as Apple. In short, the authors argue, globalization is not always helping the IT workers of the world, many of whom are working in unbearable factory conditions.

From Silicon Valley to Shenzhen traces the development of the new networks of globalized mass production in the IT industry and the reorganization of work since the 1990s, capturing the systemic nature of an industry-wide restructuring of production and work in the global context. Their wide-ranging and detailed analysis makes an important contribution to ongoing academic and political debates on the globalization of production, especially by taking these debates beyond narrow perspectives of determining criteria of “success” for participation in global production networks. Rather, they emphasize the changing nature of work, employment relations, and labor policies and their implications for the possibilities of sustainable economic and social development.
Brent Scowcroft
Authors: Schmitz David F.
Published: March 2024

As National Security Advisor to President Gerald Ford, advisor to President Ronald Reagan, and as National Security Advisor to President George H. W. Bush, Brent Scowcroft was at the center of the ongoing debate over how to shape American foreign policy in the post-war world. As David F. Schmitz makes clear in his new biography, Scowcroft was a realist in his outlook on American foreign policy and an heir to the Cold War internationalism that had shaped that policy since 1945. During his most important service, as George H. W. Bush's national security advisor, Scowcroft sought to work with like-minded Republicans and Democrats to construct a post-Cold War foreign policy that would provide consistency and stability to American policymaking in a rapidly changing international environment, defend the internationalist position from challenges and criticisms, and buffer the conduct of diplomacy from the turbulence of domestic politics. The type of bi-partisan cooperation and internationalism that marked the pre-Vietnam War years served as Scowcroft's guide to how to defend American interests and promote U.S. values and institutions globally. While not always successful, Scowcroft provided a consistent internationalist voice in the midst of change.
Appetites and Aspirations in Vietnam
Authors: Peters Erica J.
Published: March 2024

In Vietnam during the long nineteenth century from the Tây Son rebellion to the 1920s, individuals negotiated changing interpretations of their culinary choices by their families, neighbors, and governments. What people ate reflected not just who they were, but also who they wanted to be. Appetites and Aspirations in Vietnam starts with the spread of Vietnamese imperial control from south to north, marking the earliest efforts to create a common Vietnamese culture, as well as resistance to that cultural and culinary imperialism. Once the French conquered the country, new opportunities for culinary experimentation became possible, although such experiences were embraced more by the colonized than the colonizers. This book discusses how colonialism changed the taste of Vietnamese fish sauce and rice liquor and shows that state intervention made those products into tangible icons of a unified Vietnamese cuisine, under attack by the French. Vietnamese villagers began to see the power they could bring to bear on the state by mobilizing around such controversies in everyday life. The rising new urban classes at the turn of the twentieth century also discovered new perspectives on food and drink, delighting in unfamiliar snacks or giving elaborate multicultural banquets as a form of conspicuous consumption. New tastes prompted people to reconsider their preferences and their position in the changing modern world. For students of Vietnamese history, food here provides a lens into how people of different class and ethnic backgrounds struggled to adapt first to Vietnamese and then French imperialism. Food historians will find a provocative case study arguing that food does not simply reveal identity but can also help scholars analyze people's changing ambitions.
Interpreting Native American History and Culture at Museums and Historic Sites
Authors: Bench Raney
Published: March 2024

Interpreting Native American History and Culture at Museums and Historic Sites features ideas and suggested best practices for the staff and board of museums that care for collections of Native material culture, and who work with Native American culture, history, and communities. This resource gives museum and history professionals benchmarks to help shape conversations and policies designed to improve relations with Native communities represented in the museum. The book includes case studies from museums that are purposefully working to incorporate Native people and perspectives into all aspects of their work. The case study authors share experiences, hoping to inspire other museum staff to reach out to tribes to develop or improve their own interpretative processes. Examples from tribal and non-tribal museums, and partnerships between tribes and museums are explored as models for creating deep and long lasting partnerships between museums and the tribal communities they represent.

The case studies represent museums of different sizes, different missions, and located in different regions of the country in an effort to address the unique history of each location. By doing so, it inspires action among museums to invite Native people to share in the interpretive process, or to take existing relationships further by sharing authority with museum staff and board.
On Doing Local History
Authors: Kammen Carol
Published: March 2024

For over thirty years, Carol Kammen’s On Doing Local History has been a valuable guide to professional and “amateur” historians alike. First published in 1986, revised in 2003, this book offers not only discussion of practical matters, but also a deeper reflection on local, public history, what it means, and why it is done. It is used in classrooms and found on the shelves of local historians across the U.S.

The third edition features:

Updates to chapters that focus on the current concerns and situation of local historians

A new chapter on how the field of history cooperates with other arts

A new chapter on writing a congregational history

Updated references

With the same passion (and now even more experience) that drove her to write the first edition, Kammen has brought her seminal work into today’s context for the next generation of local historians. The new edition ensures that this classic will continue to move anyone interested in public history towards a better understanding of why they do what they do and how it benefits their communities.
The A to Z of the Crusades
Authors: Slack Corliss K.
Published: March 2024

During the late 11th through the early 14th centuries at least seven major expeditions were made between Western Europe and the Holy Land with the goal of ending Muslim control of Jerusalem. Ultimately the crusaders were driven out, but not before a cultural exchange had taken place that had an immense impact on Western Europe and an equally enormous, albeit less positive, impact on Arabs and the Islamic world. Although the crusades occurred many centuries ago, echoes still resound through the current clashes of nations and ideologies, kidnappings for ransom, assassinations, and the declaring of 'jihad'_all making the crusades an eminently timely subject. This one-volume overview provides an accessible reference work for scholars, students, and general readers on the period with numerous entries on key persons, places, events, battles and sieges, use of weapons and armor, and the deeper issues of the political and cultural background. Complete with a detailed chronology and a bibliography, this work allows readers to learn how Europe was changed forever by these battles with Islam.
A new life for the Battersea Power Station in London
Authors: Shumkov Ivan
Published: March 2024

The article explores the redevelopment of the iconic Battersea Power Station, which was originally built between 1929-1955 to provide energy to London from burning coal. 30 years after it its closure, it now brings a new kind of energy to the city from the people and capital that it has attracted. It has created a new destination that brings people from all over the world to build a life and work there. The architects involved in the design are all international: the masterplan is by Rafael Viñoly from New York, The Power Station is by Wilkinson Eyre from Australia, the residential and retail is made by Foster + Partners from London and Gehry and Partners from LA. The firm Wilkinson Eyre was selected in 2013 for the mixed-use redevelopment of the iconic station, which preserved the old façade and completely replaced the interiors to host residences, offices and commercial spaces. The two residential projects by Foster and Partners and Gehry architects are in contrast with the historical building emphasizing even further its Art Deco features and brick façade. This new development is also key for the city, as it revitalized an abandoned part of town. Strategically located next to the Thames river and close to the city center, it has all the conditions needed to become a thriving new neighborhood.

Published: March 2024

Anthracnose (Colletotrichum lindemuthianum) is the most important fungal disease affecting field bean. Growth and sporulation of thirty six isolates of C. lindemuthianum collected from five agro-climatic zones of Andhra Pradesh was evaluated in the year 2017-18 on four different solid and liquid culture media. Results revealed that potato dextrose agar was the best for both radial growth (66.74 mm) and dry mycelial weight (264.74 mg), whereas, host leaf extract agar significantly supported more sporulation 7.3 x104. The least mycelia growth of 39.32 mm, dry mycelial weight of 234.70 mg and sporulation 2.9 x104 were observed on Sabourband’s agar. Among the different isolates, Cl-33 grew fast with mycelial growth and sporulation (78.86 mm and 8.4x104) and Cl-32 produced the highest dry mycelial weight 266.75 mg). The least radial growth (31.35 mm), the lowest sporulation (4.1 x104) and lowest mycelial dry weight (227.75 mg) was recorded in CI-28, CI-1 and CI 17, respectively. Mean conidial length of 36 isolates ranged from 11.87 to 13.03 µm with the maximum length (13.03 µm) recorded in host leaf extract agar, while minimum was recorded in oat meal agar. Width of conidia varied from 3.59 to 4.11 µm on different media and 3.53 to 4.23 µm in different isolates.The growth phase study revealed that increase in the dry mycelial weight of fungus upto 15 days of incubation and growth declined from 17th day onwards.

Bridging Differences: The Role of Socialization and Inclusivity in Fostering Employee Performance in Healthcare Sector
Authors: Sobia Jamil  , Mustafa Hyder
Published: March 2024

The main goal of this study is to obtain a more profound understanding of employee performance among healthcare staff, while also focusing on promoting organizational socialization and inclusion in the workplace. Moreover, the study aims to determine the level of ease with which individuals from diverse backgrounds may integrate into the ideal work environment by examining their organizational commitment. The study employed probability sampling with a random sampling approach as the population is known, and the sample size is 329. Regardless of the fact that inclusive workplaces have three separate characteristics, this research focuses solely on the sector that actively promotes them.
This research shows that with the arrival of Industry 5.0, the age of people relationships, hospital workers may concentrate on acquiring new knowledge and retaining their existing experience when they are more committed and socialized to be ready for the competitive phase of progress. In addition, the study found that when hospitals fail to prioritize inclusiveness, it leads to the creation of a hostile work environment for healthcare workers. According to the results, a hospital must have a diverse workforce to boost employee performance. Doctors and Nurses adapt to new opportunities and juggle many tasks at once. Effective socialization and the development of organizational commitment sustain and increase employees' performance. Given the lack of direct evidence linking organizational socialization negatively to perceived organizational inclusion in hospitals in Pakistan, Organizations should strive to design socialization processes that promote equity, diversity, and inclusivity to ensure all employees feel valued and included.

Na primeira edição do livro “Rethinking dance history: a reader” (Repensando a história da dança: uma leitura), Alexandra Carter discutiu a necessidade de novas histórias na história da dança. Em particular, ela destacou a importância de ir além das narrativas lineares com pontos finais claros no tempo presente. “Nossas histórias podem acomodar atividades que não parecem contribuir de nenhuma maneira óbvia para o 'desenvolvimento' da forma de arte, mas, em seu tempo, foram uma parte vital dela”. (Carter, 2004, p. 13) Como historiadores da dança, a crítica de Carter nos ajuda a reconhecer que escrever sobre a história da dança é importante, mesmo quando não valida os gostos e ideias artísticas de hoje. Isso sugere que as investigações podem ser ainda mais urgentes, uma vez que pode nos ajudar a superar os preconceitos de nosso próprio tempo.

Authors: MERKURI Lumturi , KAMBERI Fatjona , MIO Doreada , GABRANI Jonilda
Published: March 2024

Introduction: Self-care concept is not a new idea, but during the scientific era that strengthened the authority of health care providers, the use of self-care became less valued. Self-care has major benefits for individuals and health care systems. Many factors influence self-care and several tools have been developed to measure an individual’s ability to self-care. Health workers play an important role helping people understand and use self-care practices. Aim: To provide an overview on self-care approach to better understand different aspects of self-care as important intervention for improving health and well-being. Methodology: A series of recently published articles in PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, Web of Science as well as WHO guidelines related to self-care were identified and used for this review. A database of selected articles was created, and a reference list compiled. Results: The effectiveness of self-care interventions has been found in several published articles. In patients with various diseases, higher levels of self-care are associated with better health outcomes, including reduced hospitalizations, costs, and mortality. Various studies report that self-care is influenced by several factors such as: age, education, socio-economic and health education level, geographic environment, and family support. WHO has developed competency standards for health workers to support people’s ability to self-care. Conclusions: Humanitarian crises-armed conflict, natural disasters, major disease outbreaks have a significant impact on global health and require innovative strategies that go beyond the health sector. There is growing evidence of the effectiveness of selfcare interventions for improving health and well-being. Health workers have a key role in implementing and promoting self-care interventions. Keywords: self-care, health, wellbeing, quality of life, self-care measurement.

Introduction: The Covid 19 pandemic confronted us with a series of multidisciplinary pathologies, beginning with the virus and followed by a cascade of SIRS and multiorgan failure. During the treatment therapy of antivirals, anticoagulants, corticosteroids and antibiotics, we also encounter medications’ interactions. Method: We described a case report of a 74-year-old man, who during the course of hospitalization had several complications. Results: He developed respiratory failure, delirium, SIRS, as well as retroperitoneal hematoma (HRP) as a complication of anticoagulant therapy. It was followed by hemorrhagic shock, respiratory distress and the patient was submitted under mechanical ventilation with step-by-step resuscitation. The patient made clinical and laboratory improvement by being extubated and thereafter was rehabilitated pulmonary and physically. On the 42nd day of hospitalization the patient was discharged from the hospital. Pulmonary and locomotor rehabilitation of the patient was established 2-3 weeks after hospital discharge. Conclusion: Establishing a retroperitoneal hematoma diagnosis requires clinical intuition. Some signs which can raise an alert for a retroperitoneal hematoma can be hypotension, tachypnea and back and abdominal pain in patients who are under anticoagulant therapy. Key Words: Covid 19, complications, retroperitoneal hematoma.

In this study, fifteen oat varieties including the standard checks were evaluated for agro-morphological traits, nutritional qualities, disease, and insect pest reactions during the main cropping seasons of 2015- 2018. Based on the overall performance, two best-performing oat varieties (CI-1742 and SRCPX80Ab2596) were selected and verified with the two standard checks at the Kuyu and Ginchi sub-site of Holetta Agricultural Research Center during the main cropping season of 2018. The overall mean result indicated that the released variety, Walqaa (SRCPX80Ab2596), showed the highest mean DM yield followed by the recent check (SRCPX80Ab2291) while the check variety (CI-8251) which was released earlier and commonly used for vertisol gave the lowest DM yield. Walqaa (SRCPX80Ab2596) had the highest percent increase in DM yield, CP yield, and digestible yield advantages over the standard check variety (CI-8251) which was released earlier and commonly used for vertisol conditions. Similarly, the Walqaa (SRCPX80Ab2596) had a relatively better percent increase in DM yield, CP yield, and digestible yield advantages over the recently released variety (SRCPX80Ab2291). Moreover, the Walqaa (SRCPX80Ab2596) had seeds yield advantage over the earlier released variety (CI-8251). The nutritional qualities indicated that the candidate varieties had advantages over the standard check variety (CI-8251) in terms of the leafto-stem ratio, CP, and IVDMD contents. Generally, the Walqaa (SRCPX80Ab2596) had a relatively better leaf-tostem ratio, CP, and IVDMD advantages over the standard check variety (CI-8251). The national variety releasing committee evaluated the varieties at field conditions in October 2018. Based on their evaluation result, oat variety Walqaa (SRCPX80Ab2596) was officially released in November 2019 for production in the high altitude areas and similar agro-ecologies of the country. The pre-basic and basic seeds of the released variety Walqaa (SRCPX80Ab2596) are maintained by the feeds and nutrition research program of Holetta Agricultural Research Center.

Con un enfoque observacional y mixto, se evaluaron competencias docentes clave. El objetivo fue analizar el impacto de la gamificación en la enseñanza de matemáticas y evaluar las competencias docentes asociadas, considerando la influencia de la edad y experiencia laboral. Se empleó un diseño observacional, descriptivo y prospectivo. Participaron 10 educadores de la Unidad Educativa República de Ecuador. Se aplicó un cuestionario de competencias docentes, abordando áreas como la científica, didáctica y digital. Se calcularon medidas de tendencia central y se desglosaron por edad y experiencia. Las competencias didácticas recibieron altas puntuaciones (9.88), mientras que la competencia digital mostró cierta variabilidad (8.92). La edad influyó en las habilidades digitales y científicas, mientras que la experiencia destacó en competencias científicas y organizativas. El estudio resalta la importancia crítica de competencias docentes multifacéticas. Las tendencias identificadas subrayan la necesidad de adaptación y formación continua, abordando brechas generacionales y diseñando estrategias específicas. La investigación respalda teorías que abogan por un enfoque holístico en la formación docente y destaca la relevancia de integrar efectivamente la tecnología en la educación.

La industria avícola es uno de los sectores con mayor crecimiento a nivel mundial y de la misma manera pasa en Ecuador. En los últimos años se va buscado con mayor énfasis varias alternativas viables al uso de antibióticos promotores de crecimiento (APC), creando la necesidad de reemplazarlos con aditivos naturales de origen vegetal como son los aceites esenciales, por poseer compuestos con potenciales beneficios, siendo aditivos de alimentos sanos, seguros y nutritivos utilizados como promotores de crecimiento en la alimentación animal, uno de ellos es orégano (Origanum vulgare) por poseer propiedades como  antioxidantes y antimicrobianos. El presente artículo revisa valoraciones teóricas en torno a la adición de Origanum vulgare en la alimentación de pollos de engorde, se llevó a cabo una revisión sistemática y se requirió de métodos como el analítico – sintético para encontrar las principales concepciones teóricas sobre el estado del arte del tema. En las diferentes literaturas revisadas se comprueban que el uso de aceites esenciales de orégano, posee influencia en la mejora de los parámetros productivos y de salud.
Status Anak Pasca Perceraian Nikah Siri dalam Hukum Positif dan Hukum Islam
Authors: Eka  , Rahayu Hilma
Published: March 2024

A child's status will greatly influence their future, both in terms of income, guardianship, inheritance, and so on. In positive law, children resulting from unregistered marriages, if their parents divorce, cannot claim rights because they do not have legal legal protection. Meanwhile, in Islamic law, children have rights that must be fulfilled in all aspects, even if the child is the result of a registered marriage or the result of an unregistered unregistered marriage. This research aims to determine cases regarding the status of children after divorce in unregistered marriages in Burujulkulon village, Majalengka district, and to find out the comparison/comparison of reviews of Positive Law and Islamic Law regarding this matter. The research method used by researchers is qualitative research by combining two types of data, namely data obtained from field research in the form of observations, interviews and documentation in Burujulkulon village, Majalengka district. The basis/basis of legal sources used by researchers in the comparison process is positive law from the Law, Civil Code, and Government Regulations. Meanwhile, the Islamic law used comes from the Al-Qur'an, hadith, translated books and the opinions of the jurists. The data that researchers obtained was then reduced, presented and concluded using descriptive - comparative analysis techniques. Based on the research conducted, several conclusions were obtained including: (1) The status of the child which includes four things (recognition, education, livelihood and love, and lineage), in terms of livelihood and education in case A, the child from the unregistered marriage was not getting support from the father to the child, but in terms of recognition, the father admits that the child is his son. In contrast to case B, the child resulting from the unregistered marriage received support, education and recognition from his father; (2) in terms of recognition, education, living and affection in cases A and B, both of them fulfill and are sufficient for children's rights, this shows that there is conformity between the legal regulations that have been established, namely positive law and Islamic law; (3) there are differences in cases A and B, namely differences in registering the child's birth certificate, case A only lists the mother's name, and case B lists the names of both parents. This shows that there is a discrepancy between the legal regulations that have been established, namely positive law and Islamic law in terms of the child's lineage or population status.

Vehicle routing in the case of uncertain customer demands and soft time windows: A neuro-fuzzy logic approach
Authors: Radovanović Dragan
Published: March 2024

Vehicle routing, with its many variants, is one of the most important and frequently solved problems in transportation engineering. The aim of this paper is to develop a decision-making support tool for addressing the issue of dispatching vehicles in scenarios characterized by uncertain demands within soft time windows. In real-world scenarios, it is not uncommon for customer demands to exhibit flexibility, where certain early arrivals or delays may be deemed acceptable. Therefore, this paper introduces vehicle routing in more realistic contexts, offering potential practical implementations. The methodology for solving the problem is based on a fuzzy logic system whose membership functions are additionally adjusted using a neural network. Such a tool, neuro-fuzzy logic, is suitable for solving a defined routing problem since it can consider all the mentioned uncertainties in the distribution systems. Each user is assigned a performance index that considers travel time, demand, and delivery time windows. Then, the performance index is used as input data in the proposed vehicle routing tool based on the Clarke-Wright algorithm. The described approach has been tested on a concrete example, mimicking a distribution network resembling real world conditions, incorporating estimated travel times between customers. The results demonstrate that the proposed approach can effectively handle customer demands, with an average delay of 5.05 minutes during the 80-minute distribution. In future research, some environmental factors could be included in the proposed model. In addition, one of the directions of future research could be vehicle re-routing using the ideas from this paper.
