En el competitivo mundo empresarial de hoy, la identificación y gestión de costos ocultos se ha convertido en una prioridad para supervivencia y crecimiento de las organizaciones. Este estudio aplicó las dos primeras fases del modelo de gestión socioeconómica en la agencia de marketing digital PuntoDigital con el objetivo de identificar y analizar los costos ocultos presentes, así como testear el instrumento de recolección de datos con las preguntas y enfoques apropiados. Se utilizó la metodología intervención-investigación, sustentada en la observación directa y entrevistas semiestructuradas a cuatro colaboradores de nivel operativo en esta primera fase. En una segunda etapa, se aplicará al número de colaboradores definido por el modelo y se analizarán los documentos y estados financieros de la empresa. Se obtuvieron un total de 79 frases testimonio, analizadas para generar una nube de palabras que dieron pie a describir los disfuncionamientos como: trabajo, clientes, tiempo, comunicación, diseño y tema. Adicionalmente, se elaboró un bigrama que permitió observar las relaciones entre las palabras clave y las prácticas actuales que no le permiten el aprovechamiento óptimo de los recursos. Se reconoció la necesidad de mejorar la estructura del instrumento para una gestión más efectiva del modelo socioeconómico, se logró identificar áreas de oportunidad respecto a la estrategia empresarial, ya que, al no contar con una política establecida, los colaboradores desconocen la misión y visión organizacional, no se cuenta con herramientas digitales para gestionar los proyectos de manera efectiva. Se pudo observar que existe una sobrecarga de trabajo, no existe una buena comunicación con los directivos, los retrabajos se generan por cambios de criterios por parte de los clientes, al no tener procesos establecidos lo que genera costos ocultos y afecta la eficiencia y el bienestar de la organización.

Investigación cuyo objetivo es analizar percepciones de docentes y familias de los procesos de enseñanza aprendizaje a través de nuevas tecnologías durante la pandemia, en zonas rurales de Antioquia. Además, busca caracterizar la población de docentes y familias involucrados en la educación de estos estudiantes, analizar cómo se llevan a cabo los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje mediante nuevas tecnologías y comprender la percepción de docentes y familias sobre estos procesos. La investigación se basa en el paradigma interpretativo, que enfatiza la interpretación de la información y la participación cercana del investigador. Busca comprender y participar en el mundo estudiado, centrándose en la construcción social de la realidad. Utiliza un enfoque cualitativo para comprender las percepciones de las personas en un contexto rural escolar. Reconoce que las percepciones no son representaciones objetivas, sino construcciones sociales basadas en interpretaciones y significados. La investigación se enfoca en cómo las personas definen y crean su propia realidad. Se realizó el trabajo de investigación con 21 familias y 4 docentes, de una institución educativa rural del norte de Antioquia, para recopilar la información de la población participante, se implementaron varias estrategias, que incluyen entrevistas semiestructuradas, grupos focales y cuestionarios. Aunque el cuestionario se utiliza con mayor frecuencia en enfoques cuantitativos, en esta investigación se ha incorporado para abordar aspectos específicos que contribuyen de manera precisa y complementaria a los objetivos, enriqueciendo así la información recopilada a través de las entrevistas y los grupos focales. Para las familias, el énfasis de los procesos de enseñanza aprendizaje en esta coyuntura, estuvo puesto en lo cognitivo, dejando de lado otros aspectos formativos de los estudiantes, teniendo en cuenta que son seres integrales y las demás dimensiones del desarrollo debieron estar ampliamente abordadas en especial en tiempos de pandemia por las dificultades emocionales que se presentaban durante la contingencia.

El desarrollo y sostenibilidad de las pequeñas y medianas empresas sigue siendo irrelevante en la actualidad y, por ende, desde siglos atrás forma parte del interés de los investigadores por el aporte sobre la gestión de estas organizaciones, con el propósito de que alcancen un progreso convincente que las haga crecer definitivamente, tanto desde el punto de vista empresarial, económico y tecnológico, sobre todo, en los países del tercer mundo. Con este antecedente, la investigación planteó como objetivo: realizar un análisis de los factores que inciden en el desarrollo y la sostenibilidad en las pequeñas y medianas empresas para su crecimiento. La investigación se sustentó en un enfoque cualitativo, con un tipo de estudio descriptivoexplicativo-interpretativo. Para ello, se empleó los métodos teóricos: Histórico-Lógico; Análisis-Síntesis; Análisis documental, entre otros. Los resultados corroboraron que estas organizaciones tienen que desarrollarse no solo desde el punto de vista tecnológico, dado que, es esencial que progresen desde la perspectiva de gestión organizacional, talento humano, competitividad y sostenibilidad. Por último, hay que reconocer que estas empresas, independientemente de su tamaño, objetivos y alcances, son las que han dado mayor cantidad de empleos en los países latinoamericanos menos desarrollados. Con lo cual, hay que seguir profundizando en los factores que afectan su crecimiento sostenido en el tiempo, pues siguen siendo organizaciones vulnerables por: impactos de la economía mundial, globalización, limitado apoyo de los gobiernos donde están enclavadas, e incluso, por las situaciones emergentes como la vivida por la Pandemia (COVID_19), que aun las tiene marcada por deudas con los bancos, entendiéndose las que han logrado sobrevivir a esta crisis mundial señalada.

Authors:   TSHWANE UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY, Maake G , Harmse CPJ , Schultz CM
Published: June 2024

The South African public sector's failure to meet its citizens' requirements has proved to be a troublesome issue. In light of the demand for better services, performance management systems and work engagement are two of the most important ways to improve public sector performance. Aspects of the South African public sector can impair work engagement and performance management. The public sector operates in a diverse environment where gender, marital status and race may impact service delivery, performance and work engagement. This study examined the impact of gender, marital status and race on performance management systems and work engagement. It employed non-probability purposive sampling and a quantitative research approach and used ANOVA and t-tests to analyse data. Work engagement and performance management system subscales revealed no significant differences related to either race or marital status. However, positive and statistically significant differences were observed between gender groups. Given its significance, this study could contribute to the development of a positive work environment for managers and employees in the public sector.
SUPPORT NEEDED BY WORKERS PROVIDING CARE TO CHILDREN WITH COGNITIVE DISABILITIES: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Authors:   North-West University, Molefe LL , Sehularo L , Koen D
Published: June 2024

Cognitive disability is a concerning health issue. It affects not only the mental functioning, but also the physical and social wellbeing of a person; children and adults are affected. An affected child needs the permanent care of a worker, who experiences strain due to the challenges associated with caring for such a child. In addition, workers have unaddressed needs. Little is known about these challenges and needs, hence the study. This study is a systematic review of content on support needed by workers providing care to children with cognitive disabilities globally. The objectives of the study were to examine the challenges faced by and needs of workers providing care to children with cognitive disabilities and to make recommendations to ensure challenges and needs are addressed. A systematic review was conducted using five steps, as follows: conceptualising clear questions for critique, collecting and categorising data, evaluating, summarising evidence, and discussion. Relevant studies identified by search engines were consulted. The findings reveal challenges faced by workers providing care, such as lack of knowledge about intellectual disability, the burden of caring, lack of assistance and support, stigma attached to caring, social exclusion, physical and emotional exhaustion, low self-esteem, self-blame, and the unavailability of resources and services. Recommended support entails interventions, programmes and relevant policies aimed at positively addressing challenges experienced. The findings of this study add value to future studies aimed at developing programmes, models and interventions that support workers caring for children with cognitive disabilities.
Analyzing the Effect of Magnetic Field Strength on the Behavior of Ferromagnetic Materials in United States
Authors: Wilson Charles
Published: June 2024

Purpose: The aim of the study was to analyzing the effect of magnetic field strength on the behavior of ferromagnetic materials in United States.
Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.
Findings: In the United States show that magnetic field strength affects the behavior of ferromagnetic materials by inducing structural changes, influencing lattice distortions and phase transformations. These findings deepen our understanding of magneto structural coupling, aiding material design. Additionally, research on magnetostriction behavior highlights the interplay between field strength, microstructure, and response.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Domain theory, stoner-wohlfarth model & micro magnetic theory may be used to anchor future studies on magnetic field strength on the behavior of ferromagnetic materials. Conduct systematic experimental studies to validate theoretical predictions and elucidate the practical implications of magnetic field effects on material behavior. Governments and funding agencies should allocate resources to support research infrastructure for studying magnetic materials and phenomena.

Sustainable Municipal Solid Waste Management Strategies and Practices: A review
Authors: Abdulhamid Y , Ali K , Semhar M
Published: June 2024

Purpose: This paper introduces a multi-period, multi-objective model for creating an integrated, sustainable municipal solid waste management supply chain. The model includes source separation and a reward-penalty mechanism, aiming to minimize total system costs, greenhouse gas emissions, and environmental impacts on residential areas. Many countries strive to develop efficient solid waste management systems (SWMS) that handle and dispose of daily waste cost-effectively while maintaining sustainability. These systems include waste sources, collection stations, landfills, incinerators, recycling plants, and a transportation network.
Methodology: A systematic literature review was conducted on existing literature from various studies. Recent studies were used for this systematic review of sustainable municipal solid waste management strategies and practices.
Findings: Decision-makers must design or reconfigure a sustainable MSWM to determine the optimal supply chain network for treating and disposing of daily waste effectively. This paper suggests sustainable waste management strategies and practices from various countries, aiming to determine the best number and locations for facilities and optimal waste flow within the system to minimize daily costs. The primary contribution of this review is the theoretical development of sustainable MSWM practices applicable worldwide.
Unique contribution to theory, policy and practice: Cooperation between the private and public sectors involved in solid waste management and the circular economy is imperative to ensure the technical, financial, and social sustainability of waste management systems. Large-scale awareness programs on solid waste management and the circular economy should be implemented, focusing on fostering environmentally responsible behaviors and attitudes, promoting sorting, selective collection, and the recovery of materials and energy from waste.
Metadata functional requirements for genomic data practice and curation
Authors: Huang Hong , Qin Jian
Published: June 2024

Introduction. The rapid accumulation of genomic data and their widespread reuse in clinical and scientific practice demands more effective description and organization of genomic information, which poses new challenges in developing metadata schemas. Based on a previously developed taxonomy of metadata requirements, this paper reports the results from a survey that addresses these new challenges.
Method. The survey gathered empirical data from 156 genomics scientists to identify context-sensitive metadata functional models for genome curation. The study further investigated the metadata elements from four well-known genomic metadata schemes against the functional requirements for genome metadata.
Analysis. The survey data were employed the statistical package STATA, to produce descriptive statistics, factor analysis, Fisher’s exact test, and related reports.
Results. Analysis of the empirical results revealed that genomics scientists recognize specific sets of criteria for metadata needs in the genome-curation context. Twenty one metadata requirements were reduced to five factor constructs. The ranking of these constructs in decreasing order is: portability, reusability, manipulability, sufficiency, interoperability, extensibility, and modularity. The Fisher exact test results revealed that the genomic community required rich context and technical related metadata elements to facilitate data exchanges and experimental operations in genome curation.
Conclusion. The findings indicated that genomics scientists developed metadata to meet the needs in genome curation activities related to data wrangling, integrations across platforms and databases, and data reuse. Architectural layout as flat file needs extra administrative metadata to support data sharing and documentation. The resulting metadata requirement model can serve as valuable resources to genome scientists, data curators and administrators for designing metadata schema and developing data-curation policies.
Approaching information-seeking habits and their contextual features
Authors: Savolainen Reijo
Published: June 2024

Introduction. In information seeking, habits manifest themselves in the ways in which people repeatedly and regularly prefer and access certain sources of information. The present study reviews how researchers in diverse field have approached such habits and characterised their contextual features.
Method. Qualitative content analysis of a sample of seventy-three studies on the above topic. The research inductively identified three approaches to habits in information seeking and contextual factors affecting habitual information seeking.
Results. Many of the investigations on information-seeking habits approach them in terms of the frequency of information source use. Second, such habits are characterised in terms of information-seeking patterns. Third, the information practice approach directs the main attention to habits as integral constituents of people´s customary ways to seek access to information sources as a part of their daily routines. Information-seeking habits are influenced by contextual factors such as the time and place of information seeking, familiarity with information sources, and easy access to information.
Conclusion. Information-seeking habits offer familiar and often efficient ways to identify and access information sources. There is a need to explore further the nature of habitual information seeking by conducting longitudinal studies charting people´s ways and motives to prefer similar sources across situations.
Collaborating, collecting and representing: queer independent archives and their connections with GLAM institutions in Aotearoa/New Zealand
Authors: Day Alison S.
Published: June 2024

Introduction. Queer independent archives play a significant role in their communities, preserving and providing access to narratives that might otherwise be lost. Queer archives are assumed to be homogenous and thus representative, although some queer communities are not visible. Collaborations with GLAM institutions and universities have become more prevalent as the importance of supporting independent archives is recognised. Nevertheless, for many queer archives and their communities retaining autonomy in such collaborations is vital. 
Method. These issues were explored from the perspective of New Zealand’s three queer independent archives through six semi-structured interviews conducted with representatives from each archive.
Analysis. The analysis revealed a range of institutional collaborations, reflecting the needs and situation of each archive. Employing different collecting approaches to broaden community representation and record queer life experiences were priorities for the queer archives although with varying degrees of success.
Conclusion. This paper highlights some of the challenges faced by queer archives regarding representation and visibility and how institutional collaborations could prove beneficial. Conversely, there may be drawbacks for queer archives, particularly during renegotiations, when power imbalances might become evident.  A regular review might assist GLAMs to more gainfully support queer archives operating in an evolving queer space.
Situating complexity: information behaviour in the contact zone
Authors: Hye Lim Joy Nam
Published: June 2024

Introduction.  This short paper addresses the problematic un-situated nature of the holistic framework proposed by Polkinghorne and Given. In 2021, Polkinghorne and Given called for a substantive shift in the information field to a holistic research paradigm. However, framing studies in a contextualised, complex manner has remained an enduring challenge, particularly regarding where information experiences occur.
Method.  The author identifies a spatial gap in the holistic framework, traces existing literature on place/space in the information field, and explores M. L. Pratt’s contact zone theory.
Analysis and results. The holistic paradigm holds an obfuscated view of place/space and its role in shaping information behaviour. Existing studies and theories that incorporate place/space and its impact on information practices underscore the importance of the spatial. The paper looks to contact zone theory as a useful tool for conceptualising information behaviour in particular sites.
Conclusion. This paper argues that contact and zone are both key aspects of information behaviour, as information encounters take place in specific sites, between diverse human and nonhuman agents with different levels of power and influence. The contact zone is suggested as a critical lens to examine spatially bound interactions that could offer a more anchored, multi-agentic vision for researching information behaviour.
Transdisciplinarity: an imperative for information behaviour research
Authors: Polkinghorne Sarah , Bowell Paul , Given Lisa M.
Published: June 2024

Introduction. Information behaviour research must be methodologically and conceptually sophisticated to generate knowledge reflecting the complexities of information engagement in people’s lives. Information behaviour research can be enriched by the concept of transdisciplinarity — a collaborative approach addressing complex societal problems, with actionable research outcomes.
Method. In-depth analysis traces the emergence of transdisciplinary research design. The paper then examines selected information science studies that possess strong transdisciplinary qualities, including those grounded in community-based approaches and centred on people’s experiences who have been marginalised by mainstream research. The paper then discusses opportunities for, and challenges to, increased transdisciplinarity in information behaviour.
Results. Information behaviour research is well positioned to embrace transdisciplinarity, although this approach has yet to see widespread uptake. Transdisciplinary approaches present information science, generally, with a timely, multifaceted opportunity to adopt research designs that centre community, government, and/or industry stakeholders, which aligns well with the practice-oriented, interdisciplinary nature of the field.
Conclusion. This paper brings a theoretical conceptualisation of transdisciplinarity in relation to information science, focusing primarily on information behaviour research. It expands on the importance of collaboration, innovation, and cross-disciplinarity, and proposes strategies for bridging information science research into more critical investigations of information activities in contemporary society.

Authors: Suorsa Anna , Multas Anna-Maija , Rönkkö Emilia , Juuti Eevi , Lammi Anelma , Enwald Heidi
Published: June 2024

Introduction. This study investigates information practices to develop multi-professional work in the planning of healthy living environments in and around urban planning.
Method. A qualitative approach was used to study information practices in two city organisations in Finland. 16 professionals working in urban planning, urban planning, traffic, landscaping, promotion of well-being and environmental health and protection were interviewed in semi-structural interviews.
Analysis. Interview data was analysed with content analysis, focusing on the information practices in their organisational and multi-professional context.
Results. The professionals maintained and developed information practices to use, seek, share and create information in their work on urban planning within city organisations and in the stakeholder networks.
Conclusion. The complexity of information-based decision-making can be understood by understanding the wide range of information practices as using, seeking, sharing, and creating information in multi-professional work. In addition, it is important to note, that also organising and managing both information and information practices are needed in information-based decision-making.

Authors: Virgo Isabel
Published: June 2024

Introduction. This short paper introduces 'progress logs', an adaptation of the solicited diary method, and details their planned use in a forthcoming study on the information behaviour of students in transition from prison to higher education.
Development of the method. Progress logs are designed to capture individual-level qualitative data over a period of time, using prompts which build on previous prompts to generate rich data, allow opportunities for participant reflection and provide a narrative of progress.
The study context. The suitability of this method for studying the behaviour of individuals in transition is evaluated. Details of the proposed study are provided, including consideration of sampling, recruitment and ethics.
Application of the method. The application of the progress logs method to the study context is described, covering the duration, frequency of prompts and choice of topics.
Strengths and limitations. The strengths and weaknesses of this method are evaluated. Despite sharing some of the drawbacks of the solicited diary method, progress logs also build on their advantages to build a narrative of change over time.
Conclusions. It is concluded that progress logs offer a suitable means to gather in-depth data about individuals’ information behaviour, especially during transitions.

Introduction. This study is based on Reijo Savolainen's pioneering work on the Everyday Life Information Seeking (ELIS) model and its evolution into the Everyday Information Practice (EIP) model and the Expanded Model of Everyday Information Practice (E-EIP), which have significantly influenced the field of information behaviour.
Method. Through a literature review, this study elaborated on the core concept and outlined the development of three generations of models.
Analysis. This study first summarised the concept of everyday information practice from a dual perspective that distinguished between narrow and broad perspectives and then proposed its development characteristics and future trends.
Results. A broad definition of everyday life would be more advantageous for future development. The advancements in the three generations of models were proposed as the clarification of components, the avoidance of typology, the emphasis on the life-world, and the extension of practices. The new development trends may focus on information creation, the emphasis on planning and time management, and the attention to multiple roles played by individuals.
Conclusion. Everyday information practice has been continuously developed and improved. It reflects a humanistic, user-centred perspective and remains a vibrant field of study.

Проблема коррозии оборудования нефтепереработки актуальна на сегодняшний день. Это обусловлено тем, что данное явление выводит из строя многие виды машин, сооружений и изделий, отрицательно сказывается на экономике предприятия. В результате коррозии возникают утечки нефтепродуктов, газов, различных химических веществ, которые приводят к загрязнению окружающей среды и возникновению аварийных ситуаций. Поэтому очень важно заблаговременно находить дефекты в оборудовании нефтепереработки и предотвращать их. Термин коррозия происходит от латинского слова corrodere, что означает разъедать, разрушать. Коррозия металлов – самопроизвольное разрушение металлов вследствие физико-химического воздействия окружающей среды, при котором металл переходит в окисленное (ионное) состояние и теряет присущие ему свойства.

В данной статье рассмотрено изучение появления вредителей и болезней в лесных массивах ГУ ГЛПР «Ертіс орманы», создание способов их предупреждения и создание условий для формирования в будущем в этих районах естественного возобновления и лесообразования чистой древесины от очагов вредителей и болезней. Природный лесной фонд «Ертіс орманы» – природная территория особой охраны. В настоящее время экологическая ситуация в мире не благополучна. Чтобы улучшить его, желательно сеять больше зелени, то есть деревьев. Необходимо не только сеять, но и увеличивать меры по сохранению существующих деревьев. Леса Прииртышья в основном состоят из хвойных деревьев, особенно здесь преобладают сосны обыкновенные, а на западной стороне чаще встречается ель. Кроме того, есть ряд лиственных деревьев, таких как береза, тополь, клен. В смешанных лесах не мало. Лесозащита – меры по рациональному использованию лесного фонда, его восполнению, защите от пожаров, вредителей и болезней, а также повышению лесопродукции. Большой вред для роста сеянцев и сосен наносит скошенный скос сосны. Предохраняться от них помогают птицы – вязальщицы и энтомофаги. Лесозащитные специалисты обрабатывают деревья, пораженные болезнями и вредителями специальным химическим способом.

As higher education tuition continues to rise in the United States and globally, other costs impacting students, such as fees, parking, and housing, are rising at a similar pace. Concurrently, more higher education institutions are focusing on creating boutique experiences for students, including the option for single-unit housing. This paper analyzed the costs associated with single-unit housing at the ten largest college campuses in the United States compared to the costs associated with multi-unit housing and off-campus living. The changes in preferences for students associated with their college experiences, when partnered with higher costs of living and off-campus housing, create an unsolvable, wicked problem.

The focus of this research was to investigate how school administrators in Turkey managed the crises caused by the COVID-19 outbreak, which was a deadly threat for humanity worldwide. The research questions guiding this study are: 1) Did schools have a crisis plan? 2) If yes, how was the plan implemented in a crisis situation?; 3) What kind of changes were made in the plans?; 4) What should administrators do in such crisis situations?; and 5) What was done in the COVID-19 outbreak? The research was conducted as a qualitative case study which involved 105 school administrators. Due to the pandemic conditions that hindered direct face-to-face interviews and interactions, data collection was carried out online via a Google drive form with open-ended questions. The findings demonstrated that there were two main headings as the basis for the research problems. The first was the existence of crisis planning by school administrators; the other was the status of implementation of these plans. Finally, how school administrators handled crisis management was pointed out.
