Internal branding as a strategy of increasing employee retention: the role of brand identification and brand orientation
Authors: Knezović Emil , Jamak Lamija
Published: January 2024

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between internal branding and employees’ intention to stay in organizations in Bosnia and Herzegovina while considering the mediating role of brand identification and brand orientation. A primary cross-sectional data was collected by administering a questionnaire to employees in B&H organizations resulting in the final sample of 336 employees. The results indicate that brand identification mediates the relationship between internal branding and employees’ intention to stay. However, contrary to the assumption, brand orientation does not mediate the relationship between internal branding and employees' intention to stay. Due to scarce literature on this topic in B&H, these findings provide helpful managerial implications and represent a solid basis for further research.
An Investigation of Top Management Teams’ National Career Patterns in the Age of Globalization – Evidence from Eastern Europe
Authors: Küpper Anja , Dauth Tobias
Published: January 2024

Research on European business elites has been dominated by a national career model approach, which argues that each country has a specific top management career pattern embedded in national institutional contexts. Research has focused on applying those patterns to Western European countries while no analysis of Eastern European managers has been conducted to date. In recent years, the line of argumentation on national career patterns has been challenged due to the increasing international circulation of top managers. In this article, we analyse the applicability of these patterns to an Eastern European country, specifically, Poland. For this purpose, we analyse the career paths of Polish top management team members and investigate their development. We collect biographical data and career-related information from the top managers employed by the 30 largest stock-listed companies located in Poland and Germany. Our analysis reveals that the most important career distinctions from existing models are applicable to the Polish market, and our data show similarities with the Germanic national model. These results will likewise shed light on the stability of certain career pattern features of top management profiles.

Prison population growth: drivers, implications and policy considerations
Authors: Jones Cat , Lally Clare
Published: January 2024

England and Wales have the highest per capita prison population in Western Europe. In October 2023, over 88,000 people were imprisoned, in an estate with a maximum capacity of 88,890. This was the highest number recorded. 94% of people in prison are adult men and the adult male prison estate is almost full. The prison estate is operating at 99% of its usable operational capacity and over 60% of prisons are overcrowded. Drivers of the current prison population growth include changes in sentencing policy (including increased sentence lengths). Other factors include remand, recall, reoffending and policing. The number of people given immediate custodial sentences has fallen from 98,044 in 2012, to 67,812 in 2022. This suggests that the prison population increase is not driven by more convictions. Nearing capacity can have negative implications for the safe operation of prisons, and for the health, wellbeing and rehabilitation of people in prison. Government action to avoid exceeding capacity includes expanding the prison estate and releasing some prisoners up to 18 days early. As of December 2023, three relevant bills are progressing through Parliament: the Sentencing Bill 2023, the Criminal Justice Bill 2023, and the Victims and Prisoners Bill 2023. Each contains a range of measures, with some likely to reduce the prison population and others likely to increase it. Various stakeholders have proposed additional policy options, such as the greater use of non-custodial sentences, and interventions to reduce the remand and recall populations. Some experts in this field have highlighted the role of public opinion in relation to sentencing policy and the relationship between prisons and the wider justice system. Evidence suggests that the public generally overestimate crime rates and underestimate sentence lengths, and that better-informed members of the public are less likely to view sentences as lenient. More high-quality research is needed to better understand the drivers of increased sentence length and to evaluate health and rehabilitation programmes in the prison context.
The Arc of the Moral Universe
Authors: Johnson Russell P. ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: January 2024

Christian witness needs to tell a story in which people can recognize themselves, including political opponents and those who currently benefit from social injustice. It is this capacity to imagine a role for the enemy within the beloved community that separates Christian protest from the politics of resentment. This constructive component of activism makes the critical edge credible, and this is not just a matter of messaging but of theological integrity. A twofold narrative approach, informed by the tradition of nonviolent direct action, offers a way for opponents to take steps to address present injustices without their participation in these injustices having the last word about them.
The Ambitious and the Modest Meta-Argumentation Theses
Authors: Aikin Scott F. , Casey John ,   Saint Louis University
Published: January 2024

Arguments are weakly meta-argumentative when they call attention to themselves and purport to be successful as arguments. Arguments are strongly metaargumentative when they take arguments (themselves or other arguments) as objects for evaluation, clarification, or improvement and explicitly use concepts of argument analysis for the task. The ambitious meta-argumentation thesis is that all argumentation is weakly argumentative. The modest meta-argumentation thesis is that there are unique instances of strongly meta-argumentative argument. Here, we show how the two theses are connected and both are plausible.
Blood Pressure Changes During the Normal Menstrual Cycle in Adolescent Females
Authors:   University College Oxford, University of Oxford, High Street, Oxford, OX1 4BH,  United Kingdom., Thakrar Dixa B
Published: January 2024

Study Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate blood pressure (BP) changes during the menstrual cycle in adolescents. Methods: Prospective primary data collection study. Systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) pressures were measured from 22 female and 5 control male adolescents, daily for eight weeks. Readings taken on and after the onset of the first menstruation contributed to the primary analysis. Readings taken before this, in their previous cycle, were used to investigate consistency in trends observed in the primary analysis. BP was compared between different phases of the cycle. Results: The primary analysis revealed that adjusted SBP was non-significantly higher in the luteal phase than follicular by 0.61mmHg (95%CI: -1.29to3.51; P=0.53). There was no statistical difference in DBP between the phases -0.07 (-1.62to1.48; P=0.93). In the previous cycle, however, SBP and DBP were higher during the follicular phase than the luteal (P=0.02 for both). This finding may be due to greater stress response, as these measurements were taken earlier in the experiment. Stress response is likely to affect the follicular phase more, as it is the first phase. This phenomenon was also observed in the male controls. Conclusions: BP does not change during the menstrual cycle in adolescents. This has potential clinical implications. Physicians cannot attribute BP variations in adolescent females to their menstrual cycle and therefore may warrant further investigation. Another finding is that researchers investigating BP should consider a long familiarization period, between subjects and the experimental environment, to minimize stress response.

Authors: Anggelia Della , Risdianto Eko
Published: January 2024

This research aims to understand student perspectives and the most appropriate and effective learning approaches during the combined online and face-to-face learning period. The research method used is analyzing literature using bibliometric techniques which begins by defining the keyword 'Hybrid Learning' in the Publish or Perish application with Google Scholar as the data source. After reducing the scope of the search by focusing on specific aspects of 'hybrid learning', a total of 19 relevant articles were selected from a total of 50 articles found in the initial stage of the search. The collected data is managed using the Mendeley application, while the Vosviewer application is used to produce visualizations of related research. The research results show that physics learning became more effective when the Covid-19 virus outbreak broke out by implementing a hybrid approach, which helped improve students' technology skills. However, continued use of this approach in schools can have negative consequences for students. So, it can be concluded that hybrid learning is effective in physics learning when the Covid-19 virus is spreading. Because hybrid learning can improve students' abilities in using technology. However, it can also have a negative impact on students if it is applied continuously at school.

Traditional Political System and Its Transformation in the Hijra Community: An Anthropological Study
Authors: Shah Md. Faruk
Published: January 2024

The Hijra community is an integral part of society as a whole. The objective of this article is to illustrate the community's traditional political system and its transformation. This studyhas been conducted by incorporating data from both primary and secondary sources in light of the objectives.The traditional political structure, which is mostly made up of Darajnis, Gurumas, and Challas, is one of the distinguishing characteristics of the political system. ‘Darajani’ is the supreme leader in this political structure, while ‘Guruma’ remains in charge of the followers. In other words, the Challa Hijras' traditional political protector is the Guruma. The main role that Guruma plays as having is that of a parent, guardian, or mother as guardian. He essentially handles all of the issues in Hijra society. Despite the intimate bond that exists between Guruma and Chelas, disagreements can sometimes arise between the two of them. When there is disagreement among the followers, Guruma settles it by himself. They are now interested in altering conventional politics and the greater political system since their gender identity is now recognized. Yet, many obstacles in the Hijras' daily and social lives will be resolved if their political rights are properly protected and they can establish their rights in their parents' property.

Authors: Ferro Cibele Alexandra , Silva Tacio Antonio Barros , Ramos Ana Luiza Vaqueiro , Mateus Rafaella De Paula , Yamamoto Leonardo Watanabe , Gonçalves Daniel Henrique , Oliveira Neris José Rodrigues de
Published: January 2024

Introdução: O câncer de pele não melanoma é o tipo mais comum de câncer de pele, sendo o carcinoma espinocelular o segundo mais prevalente. A apresentação clínica do câncer de pele não melanoma é muito variável e o diagnóstico é confirmado  pela biópsia da lesão suspeita para exame histopatológico. A remoção cirúrgica do tumor  é a base terapêutica, porém há  outras opções de tratamento como quimioterapia, radioterapia, crioterapia, terapia fotodinâmica e laser, que podem ser usadas de forma isolada ou associada à cirurgia, dependendo do contexto clínico A radioterapia apresenta excelente taxa de controle local para os carcinomas de pele, entretanto se o aparelho de radioterapia em questão for um acelerador linear, há um entrave visto a particularidade dos aceleradores lineares, que liberam fótons e elétrons de alta energia que não atingem a máxima intensidade na superfície do tecido. Para superar esse problema, pode-se utilizar o bolus que ajuda a superficializar a dose máxima, preservando as estruturas subjacentes à neoplasia e evitando alguns efeitos adversos da radioterapia.  Relato de Caso: Um homem de 85 anos, apresentando uma lesão ulcerada e extensa no punho esquerdo há 2 anos, foi diagnosticado com carcinoma espinocelular invasivo. Optou-se por um tratamento menos invasivo com radioterapia buscando resolução da lesão, apesar de uma redução considerável da lesão, foi necessário ainda uma ressecção cirúrgica. A biópsia revelou um carcinoma espinocelular moderadamente diferenciado, com margens livres de neoplasia. Conclusão: Os aceleradores lineares com ajuda do bolus podem ser considerados uma opção de tratamento para o carcinoma espinocelular em casos de infiltração extensa do tumor com considerável redução desses.

Authors: Fernandes Ana Lívia , Costa Ricardo Filipe Alves , Brisotti João Luiz
Published: January 2024

Introdução: A infecção pelo Helicobacter pylori (HP) é das mais frequentes. Os métodos mais utilizados no Brasil para seu diagnóstico são testes endoscópicos: teste da urease, histopatologia, cultura e reação em cadeia da polimerase. Para o tratamento destaca-se o esquema tríplice, seguido do esquema quádruplo com bismuto, esquema concomitante, esquema híbrido e o esquema sequencial. O rastreamento pós-tratamento é feito após quatro semanas, sendo a sensibilidade aos antibióticos o principal preditor da erradicação. Objetivo: Avaliar retrospectivamente a erradicação de HP no âmbito do Ambulatório Médico de Especialidades da Região de Barretos–SP, identificando os diagnósticos de doenças digestivas por meio de exames endoscópicos realizados antes e após a erradicação do HP.  Materiais e Métodos: Estudo retrospectivo de coorte de pacientes com doenças cloridropépticas, submetidos ambulatorialmente a endoscopia digestiva alta no período de 2016 a 2021, comprovando HP, subdivididos em grupos de diferentes terapias de erradicação de HP. Foram avaliados os resultados dos exames de endoscopia digestiva alta quanto às doenças digestivas e também a ocorrência de erradicação da bactéria utilizando-se testes estatísticos específicos. Resultados: Analisou-se 473 prontuários eletrônicos, com predominância do sexo feminino (74,0%), e positividade para HP em 102 pacientes (39,5%). Confirmou-se endoscopicamente a erradicação em 69,6%. Para verificação do esquema terapêutico implementado, apenas 21 (20,79%) tiveram especificação em prontuário. Houve predominância de gastrite naqueles pacientes HP positivo, prevalecendo gastrite moderada: 50 (49,0%). Conclusão: A análise retrospectiva de erradicação de HP demonstrou que o esquema tríplice foi o principalmente adotado com efetividade relevante. Não foi possível análise comparativa entre esquemas e o diagnóstico endoscópico mostrou discreta predominância de gastrite moderada.
Analysis of Risk Factors for Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC) in Newborns: A Systematic Literature Review
Authors: Putra Reza Agustiantwo
Published: January 2024

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a serious condition in newborns involving inflammation and intestinal necrosis. A number of risk factors have been identified, which complexly interact and contribute to the development of this condition. An in-depth understanding of these risk factors has major implications for the prevention, diagnosis and management of NEC in newborns. Babies born prematurely, especially before 32 weeks' gestation, have a higher risk of developing NEC. Low birth weight, regardless of prematurity status, remains a significant independent risk factor. Imbalances in blood circulation, especially in the intestines, can increase the risk of NEC. Hypotension and other medical conditions that affect blood flow to the intestines can be potential triggers. Infection and inflammation, both systemic and local, play a central role in the development of NEC. Bacterial contamination in the digestive tract can trigger an inflammatory response that contributes to the pathophysiological process of NEC. Formula feeding, especially in premature infants, is associated with an increased risk of NEC. The importance of providing exclusive breastfeeding and introducing foods slowly to protect the newborn's intestinal health. Excessive use of antibiotics or without clear indications can change the balance of intestinal microflora and increase the risk of NEC. The importance of judicious selection and use of antibiotics to minimize negative impacts on gut health.
Behaviour of cold-formed steel built-up beams under flexural loading
Authors: Palanivelu Sangeetha
Published: January 2024

Cold-Formed Steel (CFS) built-up beams are most commonly used as structural elements such as columns, beams, and trusses. They are also used to avoid buckling and increase member flexibility by providing flanges and side plates/batten plates. This study describes the flexure behaviour of the CFS built-up beam. Six CFS built-up beams were tested to failure with a Universal Testing Machine (UTM). CFS built-up beams of thickness 2 mm were developed using channel sections put back to back and close to close, as well as a lip and flange plate. The overall deflection and strain against the incremental load were discussed and compared with the control beam without a lip and flange plate. A back-to-back CFS built-up beam with lip a section could withstand 32% greater load under flexure than a backto-back built-up beam without a lip. The Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was performed using the software ANSYS, and there was a high correlation between the experimental and analytical results.

The Ukrainian crisis and the question of sovereignty and territorial integrity
Authors: Jovanović Nevena
Published: January 2024

The current armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine is a consequence of their decade's long complex and complicated relations, which was influenced by the United States and the countries of Western Europe. The organization of the referendum and signing of the decree on the annexation of Crimea and Sevastopol to the Russian Federation, and the conflicts in the Donbass that lasted until 2018 significantly damaged the political relations of these two countries, which were part of the Soviet Union until 1991, when they acquired their independence. The escalation of continuously bad relations led to an armed conflict, but also to the most significant political, economic and military crisis, and the consequences which were felt by the entire world. The topic of this research is the Ukrainian crisis with reference to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine after the referendums and the joining of four regions (Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporozhye and Kherson) to the Russian Federation. The article aims to indicate and emphasize that the key international actors who (in)directly participate in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine have different approaches when it comes to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, that is, when it comes to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Republic of Serbia, forgetting on respecting the principle of sovereign equality of states. In other words, since the outbreak of the armed conflict in Ukraine in February 2022, we have witnessed that member states of the international community, guided by their own national interests, can take different positions regarding the sovereignty and territorial integrity of a particular state, as a result of differently formulated policies.

Authors:   Art·Design Research Institute of Kyung-Hee University, Cho Yun Jin , Lee Sang Kwon , Chung Ihn Hee
Published: January 2024

This study aims to analyze the determinants of willingness to pay a premium price for social enterprise fashion products among female consumers of Generation MZ. A sample of 436 MZ women was used to examine the relationship between value, sustainable consumption tendency, intention to purchase social enterprise fashion products, intention to pay premium prices, and age. The hypotheses were tested using PLS structural equation modeling, and the results showed that altruistic value had no significant effect on sustainable consumption intention, but biospheric value had a positive effect. Altruistic and biospheric values significantly affect the intention to purchase fashion products from social enterprises. Sustainable consumption had a positive effect on the intention to purchase social enterprise fashion products and a positive effect on the intention to pay a premium price. The intention to purchase social enterprise fashion products positively influenced the intention to pay a premium price, and the influence was highly significant. Finally, we examined the effect of the age of MZ women on the paths of the model. The age affected the paths of altruism and sustainable consumption, ecology, and purchase intention. The findings of this study contribute to the understanding of MZ female consumers who purchase fashion products of social enterprises and may have meaningful implications for companies pursuing sustainable management.

This study investigated the results by empirical analysis to find out the effect of the augmented reality-based virtual fitting service characteristics on the use intention of Korean consumers. Data from the study were collected using questionnaires from most college students who purchased online clothing products such as mobile apps and sites.
Reality, interaction, and convenience were selected as independent variables of AR virtual fitting services, and innovation was finally selected as a regulatory variable and intention to use was finally selected as a dependent variable. The SPSS program was used for hypothesis verification, and a total of 163 respondents were used. First, as a result of analyzing the relationship between the characteristics of virtual fitting selected through previous studies and the intention to use it, it was found that the reality of actually wearing clothes, the interactivity that the user can conveniently execute the desired motion, and the convenience that means how comfortable it can be used by the user had a significant effect on the consumer's intention to use the virtual fitting service. Second, as a result of the analysis of whether the level of consumer's innovation propensity controls the effect of the characteristics of the virtual fitting service on the consumer's intention to use, it was found that the innovation propensity of the consumer had a significant effect on the control of the effect of the characteristics of the virtual fitting service on the consumer's intention to use.

Shipping is a relatively clean transport method with low emissions per ton-mile compared with road transport. However, harmful emissions emitted in coastal areas are a concern, as these affect local air quality and health. To reduce sulphur oxide (SOX ) emissions, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) implemented a global sulphur cap of 0.5 wt% and the 0.1 wt% limit in emission control areas (ECAs). Ship owners can opt for either low sulphur fuels or wet scrubber systems. Wet scrubber systems are a reliable method for reducing SOX emissions with capture rates of up to 98%. These systems may use seawater alkalinity or caustic soda (e.g. closed-loop systems) to neutralise the SOX emissions. However, the dynamic loading of engines can cause large fluctuations in the exhaust flow conditions, and it is unknown how these affect the effectiveness of the scrubber. This study explores the impact of dynamic loads on the SOX removal efficiency of closed-loop wet scrubbers. A dynamic model of a closed-loop wet scrubber utilising fresh water and caustic soda is developed and verified using publicly available data. The model applies the two-film theory to model the gas-liquid interface. Billet and Schultes liquid hold-up theory is used to model the liquid film thickness in the packed bed. Maintaining scrubber efficiency with large load fluctuations or high-frequency fluctuations requires an increased liquid flow. The scrubber control system used a set-point of 75% of the equivalent compliance limit to ensure compliance with the 0.1% ECA limit during load fluctuations. The model and results can be used to develop a more advanced control system for improved scrubber operation and integration with a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system to demonstrate compliance with the IMO NOX Tier III limit when using high-sulphur heavy fuel oil (HFO).
