To date, knowledge sharing commonly discussed just as a part of knowledge management. However, knowledge sharing as a behavior is imperative to be investigated and managed carefully at a firm level. This study was aimed to examine employee knowledge sharing behavior could be shaped by organizational climate, social network, individual perception on knowledge itself, and achievement motivation. Data collected from questionnaires filled by 121 respondents who work at a multinational Japanese company operating in Indonesia (PT MII). Path analysis was used to evaluate causal model among variables. Result indicates that achievement motivation acts well as an intervening variable influences knowledge sharing behavior. Organization climate has a strongest path among variables with good practices performed by a supervisor; corporate policy to deploy knowledge; a knowledgeable feedback and corrective actions; and an assignment with a considerable time to deadline. Employees perceived that sharing behavior encouraged first in the network, promoted and managed by the organization, and lastly as a personal initiative. Motivated employees sharing their knowledge for self’s empowered, a sense of self merit, and share first at the situation of immediate and necessity. Idea for a better work more often shared than to find solutions for instant actions, tacit knowledge tends to be shared when requested, self’s refined knowledge shared individually rather than at a workgroup, and still there are some reluctances of senior owners to contribute their precious tacit knowledge at once.

Published: February 2024

Legal protection is the right of every legal subject. Ethics and morality are always linked to freedom and responsibility. Ethics imposes moral obligations on humans, which differ from obligations in legal norms; these moral obligations do not have binding force for enforcement. Moral norms are autonomous, and their enforcement cannot be compelled through external efforts (such as by authorities). Explicitly, Law number 17 of 2023 Regarding Health does not regulate legal protection for humans as research subjects. The purpose of this research is to understand legal protection and ethical considerations, examining the provisions of Law number 17 of 2023 Regarding Health concerning humans as research subjects. The method used in this research is a type of normative juridical research and a statute approach research method (legislative provisions approach). The legal materials used include primary legal materials from Law number 17 of 2023 Regarding Health and secondary legal materials such as journals, books, and other media. The research findings indicate that Law number 17 of 2023 Regarding Health does not explicitly regulate legal protection for humans as research subjects. However, in all health research involving humans as research subjects, researchers must obtain consent after providing an explanation (Informed Consent). In Law number 17 of 2023 Regarding Health, reliance is placed on three general ethical principles: respecting human dignity (respect for person) aimed at honoring autonomy and protecting individuals whose autonomy is compromised/limited, doing good (beneficence) and not causing harm (nonmaleficence), and justice.

Chronic kidney disease is becoming more prevalent and causing major health issues worldwide. Hemodialysis is most commonly used to treat chronic kidney disease. Even though it prolongs life, the complicated nature of the treatment process affects patients' normal lives and causes mental health problems. A qualitative method with a phenomenological approach was used in the current study. Data were collected by conducting the semi-structured interview with 10 participants selected through purposive sampling from 2 (1 public & 1 private) Hospitals in Gujrat, Pakistan. Following data collection, verbatim transcripts were converted into themes using the Braun and Clarke (2006) thematic analysis technique. Three major themes about the effect of illness emerged from the narrative of participants in this study: (1) Uncertainty, (2) Impact, (3) Dependency. The results shed light on the experiences of hemodialysis patients, who depend heavily on strong social, familial, and societal support systems to prevent feelings of loneliness, helplessness, and depression. Health professionals can use the study's findings to enhance the standard of care and help patients receiving hemodialysis live better lives.

This study's main goal is to discover whether the CEO's cash comparison affects SMEs' performance, with the bonus having a favorable impact instead. The research comprises an analysis of the SMEs mentioned in the Jordanian Ministry of Industry and Trade. To test hypotheses, data were meticulously collected from a sample of 80 SMEs in Amman, Jordan, a pivotal business hub in the country. Utilizing Structural Equation Modelling through Smart PLS 3, our chosen methodological framework facilitated a comprehensive analysis of the intricate relationships between CEO compensation variables and SME performance. The study's conclusions show a substantial correlation between the performance of SMEs included and the components of CEO compensation in the Jordanian Ministry of Industry and Trade. Despite this, it has been discovered that a few additional incentive factors significantly improve performance in SMEs. This study has shown that some incentive contract theories are appropriate for businesses with specific sizes and operating in particular industries.

Published: February 2024

Fungi are a global cause of vaginal infections, with vaginal candidiasis largely afflicting tropical regions including most parts of sub-Saharan Africa. In Tanzania, baseline studies have established the prevalence of Candida species among symptomatic and asymptomatic pregnant women in Dar es Salaam (Namkinga et al., 2005; Namkinga 2012) and in Mwanza (Mushi et al., 2019). However, no study that has been done to determine the above-mentioned enzymes form Candida species in Southern Highland Regions of Tanzania. Several factors have been reported to contribute to the virulence and pathogenicity of Candida, among others the production of extracellular hydrolytic enzymes, particularly phospholipase and proteinase. Therefore, this study was designed to investigate the in vitro production of phospholipases and proteinases enzymes from isolated pathogenic Candida spp from pregnant women.Of the 280 samples collected from symptomatic and asymptomatic pregnant women attending antenatal clinics at Mbeya Zonal Referral Hospital were tested for several microbiological methods such as the wet mount microscopic preparations (hanging drop) and the Gram stained smears for microscopy,  cultures on Sabouraud’s dextrose agar and on Conidia enhancing medium (Corn meal agar), germ tube test, biochemical tests, sugar fermentation-assimilation tests and molecular test to characterize Candida species.Phospholipase production was performed in egg yolk medium while the production of proteinase was done in a medium containing bovine serum albumin. All analyses were performed in triplicates. The results showed that; out of the 280 tested, 155 (74.3%) isolates were phospholipase positive while 201 (96.6%) were positive for proteinase activity. C. albicans was the species with the highest number of positive isolates for proteinase and phospholipase 110 (95.6%), and most strains of C. albicans produce both enzymes (phospholipases and proteinases). The non-albicans Candida isolates were also producers of hydrolytic enzymes that, consequently, might be able to cause infections as favorable conditions arises.

Balancing the Aura in animate and inanimate objects using 2-6 µm mid-infrared
Authors: Umakanthan T  , Madhu Mathi  , Umadevi U
Published: February 2024

In the realm of our galaxy, the constituents of animate and inanimate entities are comprised of atomic structures. Within these atoms, the fundamental particles of electrons, protons, and neutrons engage in perpetual vibrational motion, thus engendering a surrounding energy field known as the "Aura". In the case of animate beings, the Aura serves as an indicator of their overall well-being, and there exists a positive correlation between the Aura and the state of health. It is postulated that the human Aura extends approximately 4 to 5 feet in proximity to the corporeal form. Inanimate entities, on the other hand, also emit a certain degree of energy within their vicinity, albeit in a lesser quantitative measure compared to the human Aura. The inherent qualities of inanimate objects are intrinsically linked to their respective Aura. Consequently, we have embarked upon a comprehensive investigation aimed at augmenting the Aura in both animate and inanimate entities. As part of this quest, an assortment of consumables, including edibles, alcohol, cigarettes, and electronic devices were systematically employed and scrutinized for their influence on the human Aura. Remarkably, it was observed that the handling of said inanimate entities led to a discernible diminution in the human Aura. Subsequently, inanimate entities were subjected to irradiation with mid-infrared waves measuring between 2 and 6 µm. Intriguingly, this intervention resulted in a notable amplification of both human and inanimate Auras. It is noteworthy to mention that our ongoing endeavors involve the utilization of a recently designed atomizer, designated as the Mid-Infrared Generating Atomizer (MIRGA), which generated 2-6 µm mid-infrared, and played a pivotal role in the aforementioned study.

The Philippines has been long known for its multispecies fisheries, and while there is a growing effort to document fish diversity, collections-based species inventories remain insufficient in southern Mindanao. Market survey efforts conducted in Pujada Bay, Davao Gulf, and Sarangani Bay in the last ten years resulted in documenting 556 species of marine fishes from 82 families, while underwater fish visual census (FVC) surveys conducted in Davao Gulf from 2019 to 2022 revealed 365 species in 42 families. Combining the data from market surveys, FVC, and published literature, we present 771 species of marine fishes (770 teleosts, 1 elasmobranch) belonging to 94 families. Of the 771 species documented, 130 are deep reef and deepwater species, while 20 species await further taxonomic investigations for species-level identifications.Moreover, 498 cytochrome oxidase I (COI) genetic barcodes were produced representing 357 species from 59 families, which covers 46% of the total number of species reported and 63% of the market survey data. Genetic distances based on taxonomic ranks were concordant with other barcoding studies on marine fishes. Samples (20 species) with pairwise genetic distances that did not conform with the expected intra- and interspecific threshold suggest cases that also need to be investigated further (e.g., incomplete lineage sorting, introgressive hybridization, crypticspeciation). All market survey data used in genetic barcoding correspond to tissue samples, live-color photographs, and preserved specimens. This work complements the DNA barcode libraries reported recently in the country, and this serves as an additional reference for future biodiversity management and conservation efforts.

Published: February 2024

The leopard is one of the most common apex predators having recurrent conflict with humans throughout the world. This study investigates the dynamics and potential mitigation of human-leopard conflict in communities bordering Margalla Hills National Park, Pakistan, where livestock depredation drives conflict. A questionnaire survey of 174 residents provided data on depredation patterns, risk perceptions, attitudes towards leopards, and perspectives on solutions. Key findings show uneven distribution of attacks by location and livestock type due to husbandry practices and land use. Small farms, carelessness, and sole dependence on vulnerable livestock enable persistent conflict. The majority of respondents (57.71%) said leopards were rare, while 32% said they were common. The predominant perception of leopards as very or slightly dangerous reveals a high level of fear and risk awareness. The most common response was positive, with 89 respondents viewing leopards favorably. A high prevalence of goats in Saidpur village in comparison to other rural settings explains the recurrent depredation and resultant increased human-leopard conflict. Community attitudes toward leopards are diverse, signaling opportunities for constructive engagement through research, education, and inclusive policy development. With careful persistence over time, communities may eventually find an equitable path towards coexistence that preserves Islamabad iconic leopards while also meeting local priorities.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar linhagens irmãs de soja de uma mesma família e determinar um alto grau de parentesco através de diferentes conceitos de adaptabilidade e estabilidade. Os testes foram realizados em 10 locais em 2018 e 2019 no Paraná e em São Paulo, Brasil. Seis linhagens irmãs de soja da mesma família e duas cultivares foram utilizadas como controle. Os dados de produtividade de grãos foram submetidos à análise de estabilidade e adaptabilidade utilizando o modelo misto de máxima verossimilhança restrita e melhor preditor linear imparcial com o método da média harmônica do desempenho relativo de valores genéticos (HMRPGV), efeitos principais aditivos e métodos de análise de interação multiplicativa (AMMI). e genótipo e biplot de interação genótipo por ambiente (GGE). A classificação genotípica diferiu entre os métodos AMMI e GGE. O método GGE utilizando o gráfico biplot permitiu identificar a linhagem INT60.23 IPRO como a mais próxima da cultivar ideal. Utilizando o método HMRPGV, as estimativas positivas dos efeitos genotípicos e da interação genótipos e ambiente demonstraram a superioridade da linhagem INT60.23 IPRO.

Considerando a importância da adoção de fontes alternativas de fertilizantes no manejo das pastagens e a relevância da utilização de produtos biológicos no cultivo agronômico, este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar o desempenho de diferentes plantas forrageiras submetidas à bioinoculação. Para isso, plantas de sorgo, capim Paiaguás e capim Tamani foram inoculadas com BiomaPhos® (2g de inoculante para cada 20g de sementes). Foram analisados dados como altura e diâmetro dos colmos, peso de matéria verde e seca da parte aérea da planta e da raiz, comprimento da raiz, teor de matéria mineral e produtividade. Não foi observado efeito do bioinoculante no desempenho do sorgo. No capim Paiaguás, a bioinoculação provocou a potencialização da produtividade (p=0,009), aumentando os teores de matéria verde e seca da parte aérea da planta e o teor de matéria fresca da raíz. Entretanto, com relação ao capim Tamani, o bioinoculante desfavoreceu o desenvolvimento desta planta. Conclui-se que a prática de bioinoculação pode ser uma opção promissora para a redução total ou parcial da adubação inorgânica no cultivo do capim Paiaguás. Com relação à cultura do sorgo e ao capim Tamani os resultados ainda são inconclusivos.
