Authors: Gautam Manish Kumar , Chhura Bikashdev , Kumar ⁠Sanjay
Published: November 2024

This study explores the intricacies of employee motivation and performance within two distinct government departments: The study was conducted among selected villages in Bihar with the participants coming from the Public Health Engineering Department (PHED) in Bihar and the Department of Water Supply and Sanitation (DWSS) in Punjab. The research’s objective is to examine the extent to which various environmental, organisational, and socio-demographic variables impact organisational motivation and employee performance within these departments. People motivation is one of the key factors of organizational performance, having a close and direct effect on production, satisfaction, and effectiveness. The research work uses a comparative technique to assess motivational factors and performance measures in two organisations, PHED and DWSS. Using paper and online questionnaires, interviews and secondary data analysis, the research establishes and compares the motivational forces as job security, recognition, company’s career development prospects, work-life balance and job performance in the departments of the company. The results imply that there are critical distinctions in motivational factors in the two departments owing to region based socio-economic forces, organizational culture and management practices. For instance, whereas, employees in the PHED Bihar might be much concerned about job tenure and security because of development picture of the region, on the other hand, DWSS Punjab employees might be more concern with career mobility and status because of the progressive organizational culture of the state. Additional findings include the relationship between leadership behaviours, management of employee engagement, and availability of resources on performance measures. The comparative analysis provides useful information on how and why such motivational theory can increase employee performance across the organizations. This work advances the knowledge concerning the key factors that influence the motivational and performance outcomes of public sector employees, as well as offering suggestions for practical organisational reform to boost productivity and morale.

Authors: Singh Jyoti , Pant Suman
Published: November 2024

Rajasthani Mandana art, a traditional Hindu and folk-art form, is a reflection of cosmic harmony and spiritual balance. Its sacred geometry, such as circles, triangles, squares, and lotus flowers, holds significant symbolic meanings. The creation of Mandana is a deeply meditative and ritualistic process, often performed by women as a form of devotional practice. Mandana has a rich history dating back centuries and is deeply rooted in Rajasthani culture and traditions. It is characterized by intricate and symmetrical patterns, often created on homes to invite prosperity, good luck, and positive energy. Mandana art has evolved over time, with artists like Priya Mehta and Vikram Singh pushing the boundaries of traditional techniques and themes. The art form is characterized by vibrant colors and intricate geometric patterns, often inspired by natural elements like flowers, leaves, and peacocks. The revival of Mandana art has not only preserved the art form but also provided economic opportunities for artists and communities involved. The integration of Mandana art into various products has increased its commercial viability and brought attention to the beauty and intricacy of the art form. The future of Rajasthani Mandana art is promising, as it continues to evolve and adapt while retaining its cultural essence. With continued support and recognition, it will serve as a timeless bridge between tradition and modern creativity.

Published: November 2024

Ficus heteropleura Blume is a plant of the Moraceae family with high medicinal value. Therefore, the plant leaves' fractional extracts have been subjected to preliminary screenings for phytoconstituents and pharmacological studies. The phytochemical analysis was done after fractionating the ethanolic extract with n-hexane, chloroform, and hydro-alcohol. Then, the TLC method, DPPH radical scavenging, disc diffusion, membrane stabilization activity, heat-induced hemolysis, human blood clot lysis, and starch-iodine method were performed. The chemical investigation resulted in the identification of glycosides, amides, reducing sugars, flavonoids, phenols, alkaloids, tannins, saponins, gums, and steroids from the different extracts of the leaves of Ficus heteropleura Blume. In the antioxidant assay, hydro-alcoholic, chloroform, and n-hexane extracts at the dose of 100μg/ml produced significant inhibition of 76.11% (IC50 = 46.47 µg/ml), 72.83% (IC50 = 54.72 µg/ml), and 61.83% (IC50 = 77.95 µg/ml), respectively, as compared to the reference standard drug, ascorbic acid, 85.01% (IC50 = 32.22 µg/ml). However, only moderate anti-inflammatory activity was found in hydro-alcoholic extract (IC50 = 4.24 µg/ml). The extract also showed moderate thrombolytic and membrane-stabilizing effects. Hydro-alcoholic extract had antifungal activity against only Candida albicans (11 mm). However, chloroform plant extract exhibited significant antifungal activity against all included fungi. In the anti-diabetic study, significant inhibition of amylase activity was found by the hydro-alcoholic (73.33%) and chloroform (83.3%) extracts, respectively, whereas the n-hexane was found to have moderate activity (35.44%) compared to acarbose. Therefore, before isolation, characterization, and determination of the mechanism of action of the screened pharmacological activities, further investigation is needed.

The research conducted on coral reef conservation efforts in Bali illuminates the significant challenges facing this renowned marine tourism destination. Despite its importance, the island struggles with preserving its coral reefs, prompting the implementation of the 2020 Integrated Coral Reef Rehabilitation and Management Program (ICRG) supported by National Economic Recovery (PEN) funds, which has primarily focused on deploying artificial reefs in Nusa Dua waters. However, with only 74.3 Ha of a potential 204 Ha restoration area addressed, there is a clear need for intensified action. Through closed questionnaires distributed to key stakeholders, including government bodies, academic institutions, tourists, and coral reef conservation organizations, it's evident that stakeholders universally recognize the importance of artificial reefs and advocate for public involvement and adherence to local customary laws in conservation efforts. Analysis of the data underscores a strong awareness among respondents, with 69% comprehensively understanding the ecological, economic, and social functions of coral reefs. Impressively, 92% express willingness to contribute towards their preservation, either through labor or financial means, with financial contributions ranging from Rp. 25,000 to Rp. 150,000 and 30% indicating a readiness to allocate 5% of their annual income to this cause. These findings highlight stakeholders' deep commitment to coral reef conservation in Bali but also stress the ongoing necessity for sustained engagement and support to ensure the success and long-term sustainability of restoration initiatives in the island's prized marine tourism destinations.

Published: November 2024

The Southern Red Muntjak, or barking deer, is widely distributed in Southeast Asia. Muntjaks are commonly raised ex-situ due to their ability to breed efficiently and adapt to diverse environmental conditions. This research aimed to evaluate ex-situ management practices and explore the daily behaviours of muntjaks in captivity. Data were collected from October to November 2023 through direct observation and interviews with the managers and zoo staff on aspects such as enclosures, diet, health mintoring, and population management. Daily behaviour data were gathered using scan sampling. Semarang Zoo has seven muntjak individuals of varying ages. The enclosure was 15 x 5 x 2 m , equipped with shelters, drinking facilities, and feeding areas. Feeding was practiced once a day. The zoo followed veterinary recommendations for diet composition, including water, spinach, papaya, banana, and cucumber. The enclosures provided ad-libitum water access and were supplemented with mineral blocks to meet mineral requirements. Zoo staff cleaned feeding areas daily, and health monitoring, including routine parasite evaluation, was performed every three months. There are 14 distinct behaviours were identified, with relaxed state or resting behaviour being the most frequent (59–69%), followed by consuming (14–20%), movement (5–6%), foraging and self-directed behaviour (2–3%), and other activities. Muntjaks exhibited heightened sensitivity to human presence, often becoming alert or running when approached or disturbed. The predominantly male population required active management to maintain reproductive success.

Published: November 2024

Waste management systems like TPS3R are critical for reducing, utilizing, and managing trash at its source. However, the TPS3R presence in Telukjambe Village has not been perceived as effective in conducting waste management as required. One major issue with the TPS3R's insufficient waste management is the unsegregated waste entering the facility, which is caused by the nearby locals' lack of understanding about domestic waste sorting. Therefore, it is imperative to implement initiatives aimed at enhancing knowledge and concern about waste separation among the people surrounding the TPS3R in Telukjambe Village. We implement educational campaigns on waste separation through door-to-door outreach, where representatives visit residents' homes to provide technical information on home-based waste sorting using diverse educational media. Furthermore, to improve understanding of waste sorting and TPS3R management, we conducted socialization by inviting speakers to deliver the information in an engaging and participatory manner. The evaluation results indicate that around 82.4% of respondents, specifically those living there, answered the waste sorting questions accurately. The locals possess a solid comprehension of garbage sorting, providing a robust platform for increased participation in household waste segregation. Furthermore, the local government's role in establishing legislation for household trash segregation and TPS3R management can guarantee the sustainability of current initiatives, ensuring their continued implementation.

On adverbial word-formation patterns with the prefix poand relations of synonymous units
Authors: Devyatova N. M.
Published: November 2024

The article examines the potential of the word-formation pattern of derivatives with the prefix po- and the suffixes -оmu(-еmu), -i, as well as the semantic features of adverbs formed from relative and qualitative adjectives. The word-formation meaning ‘manner of action’ in the group of adverbs formed from relative adjectives is realised as a reference comparison: po-zhenski – kak zhenshchina (English like a woman). The limited potential for deriving adverbs from qualitative adjectives is explained by the fact that not all of them form the manner of action meaning. For example, the derivatives po-novomu (English in a new way), po-staromu (English as before), po-prostomu (English in lay terms, simply), and others fully express the corresponding meaning. Adverbs with the dictionary label colloquial do not have a clearly formed meaning and a specific place in the system of qualitative adverbs. The units of the analysed word-formation pattern are also considered together with adverbs belonging to the same word family. The study notes similarities and differences of adverbs with the root prost- such as prosto (English simply, just), po-prostomu (English in lay terms, simply), poprostu (English in simple terms, just), zaprosto (English without ceremony, easily), prosto-naprosto (English simply, nothing less than).

Survivor TV Shows and the Risk of Muscle Dysmorphia
Authors: Çınaroğlu Metin
Published: November 2024

This review paper investigates the correlation between the portrayal of physical fitness and strength in 'Survivor' television programs and the risk of developing muscle dysmorphia—a body image disorder characterized by an obsessive concern with perceived insufficient muscularity. The article examines how these programs, which frequently highlight participants with highly developed and physically strong bodies, may influence viewers' perceptions of an ideal physique. This influence could lead to increased dissatisfaction with one's own body and contribute to the onset or exacerbation of muscle dysmorphia. Through an analysis of various case studies, research findings, and surveys, this review explores the broader impact of media on individual body image perceptions. Additionally, it evaluates strategies to mitigate the negative effects of these shows on viewers, such as promoting media literacy, offering psychological support, and implementing public health initiatives. The findings underscore the importance of understanding the media's role in shaping mental well-being, particularly in relation to body image disorders like muscle dysmorphia. This review aims to shed light on the relationship between 'Survivor' TV shows and muscle dysmorphia, emphasizing the need for critical media analysis and the promotion of positive body image.

Published: November 2024

In the present era, environmental concerns like air pollution, the decrease of natural resources (which has led to increased oil prices) and climate change have led to a shift in consumer preferences towards electric vehicles (EVs). The use of electric vehicles is regarded as an effective technology for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from road transportation using fossil fuels. Despite the recent influx of worldwide automotive brands into the Turkish market, the apportion of EV in the developing Turkish automobile market remains limited. It is crucial to identify the variables that influence consumers' intentions to purchase electric vehicles. The objective of this study is investigating the influence of environmental concern, environmental perception, social impact, performance and usage barriers on Turkish individuals' intentions to purchase EV. A survey was conducted online with 340 participants to test the research model and hypotheses derived from the literature. Once the data had been collected using the snowball sampling method, it was analyzed using the SPSS and SmartPLS software packages. The findings of the research indicate that consumers' environmental concerns and environmental perceptions have a significant effect on their purchasing intentions. On the other hand, while social influence and performance had a significant positive impact on the intention to purchase an EV, usage barriers did not have a significant impact.

There are various power-balancing strategies have been examined in the field of International Relations and Political Science scholarship. While Western powers generally tend to use hard power or hard balancing strategies, China distinguishes itself from them by often seeking power balancing through soft and normative power. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the country has pursued a peaceful policy in its international affairs. Although China has recently adopted a more proactive foreign policy in parallel with its increasing political and economic influence in global politics and its tense relations with Taiwan, Hong Kong, and neighbouring countries, it has not moved away from its traditional peaceful foreign policy. Accordingly, China has focused on goals such as maintaining its Non-interference policies, realizing the Chinese Dream through the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), and establishing Confucius Institutes to increase its normative and soft power influence in the international arena. This study aims to analyse China's power balancing strategies through soft and normative power strategies, in the context of China's current rising power position in the international arena.

One of the most significant alternative work arrangements that emerged during the pandemic has been flexible working. During this period, many sectors were compelled to rapidly adapt to this new work model. The main purpose of the research is to understand and explain the concept of flexible working (FW), which has emerged due to the rapid development of today's technologies and the changes in business life and social environment, through the media sector. The qualitative method was preferred, and phenomenology was chosen as the research design. The media sector was preferred as a sector where flexible working is common, and the data was obtained from semi-structured interviews with middle and senior managers of companies in the sector. 64 codes obtained from the data were collected under 6 themes that provide semantic integrity. As a result of the research, it was observed that the participants were introduced to the concept of flexible working during the Covid-19 period and had the opportunity to experience their models during the pandemic period. Contrary to the literature, it was determined that the participants had much less knowledge and experience about flexible working models. A form of flexibility has often been found to be defined in terms of current needs rather than just training.

Head-and-neck cancer (HNC) is a major global health issue, with significantly higher incidence rates in India compared to other countries. The diagnosis and treatment of HNC can severely affect a patient’s quality of life (QoL). This study aims to evaluate and compare the QoL of head and neck cancer patients before and after radiation therapy with or without chemotherapy.
We conducted a prospective study on 45 newly diagnosed HNC patients who underwent radiation therapy, either alone or in combination with chemotherapy at our department. We assessed QoL using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (QLQ-C30) for general assessment and the EORTC QLQ H&N-35 for head and neck-specific evaluation before starting of the treatment and 4 weeks after the completion of the treatment. We used paired t-tests, Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA for statistical analysis, with a significance level set at p ≤ 0.05.
The most commonly affected site was the oral cavity. All participants initially had a good performance status (PS) of either 1 or 2, with Stage IV being the most prevalent. Analysis of the EORTC QLQ-C30 revealed a decline in global health status, and the EORTC QLQ H&N-35 showed deterioration across all domains from pretreatment. On the functional scale, emotional well-being was notably more impaired, while physical, cognitive, and social functions were less affected. Pain, swallowing difficulties, mucositis, and speech issues were identified as the most severely impacted aspects of QoL.
In Conclusion, our study shows a significant decline in QoL following treatment due to the acute and subacute side effects of radiation therapy and chemotherapy. These findings highlight the need for comprehensive supportive care to address the broad impact of HNC treatment on patients quality of life.

The research is devoted to the peculiarities of the historical formation and the current state – problems, tasks and prospects of development – of the culture of the Perm Region as part of the all-Russian culture. We consider settlements of various types, the general appearance of culture, with an analysis of the phenomenon of the "Permian character" – its pros and cons, which should be considered in the formation of a positive modern culture, in the fight against the dominance of mass culture – which, like many other regions, the territory in question needs. Being a "deep province", the Perm Territory, firstly, apparently, deeply reflects what can be called Russian traditionalism – multiplied by characteristic Ural features, and secondly, it faces the need for a lively renewal of culture at the present stage - against the background of a well–known large-scale spiritual crisis.
