Committed employees tend to perform better as they feel having personal connection towards the organization. However, in some cases, dismissal from the organization also indicates poor jobperformance. Poor job performance resulted in low organizational commitment. The ability of an individual to balance between work and family depends on several factors such as the type of job, the organization that hires them, economy, social and cultural context. The emerging situation had led tooverload of responsibility as people had to play the role of employees, spouses, parents, and parent's caregivers. Biased participation in one role, either work of family, will affect the other role. Work-family balance has two types of relationship. The first relationship is when work interferes with family life and the second relationship is when family life interferes with work. The main purpose of this study was to examine the effect of work-family balance towards employee commitment among TVABC (a Malaysian television network) staff, with number of dependents as moderating variable. Theresponses were gathered from 184 TVABC staff. Convenient sampling technique was used and  hierarchical regression analysis was administered. The results indicated that work interference with family dimension did not had any significant relationship with employee commitment. While familyinterference with work was proven to have a significant relationship with employee commitment among TVABC staff. The number of dependents, as the moderating variable, was found not affecting the relationship between work-family balance and employee commitment as all tests indicated insignificant relationship.

Published: July 2020

This study investigates the role of organizational commitment as a mediator between the Islamic work environment and the employee’s job satisfaction and performance. The study was conducted through the review of previous literature on the variables. It was discovered that previous studies did not include Islamic values as part of their workplace environment framework and only investigate the effect of organizational commitment as the result instead of moderating variable. Thus, a new conceptual model is proposed which will include the Islamic workplace environment as the independent variable, job satisfaction and performance as the dependent variable and organizational commitment as the moderating variable. The model is expected to provide a better understanding to the organization, especially Multinational Corporations (MNC) in understanding the importance of providing Islamic workplace environment for their employees.

Authors: Ahmad Jalilah , Mohd. Roslin Rosmimah , Abdul Kadir Mohd Ali Bahari
Published: July 2020

The global Halal industry is large and continues to grow as the global Muslim population increases in size and dispersion. There are 1.84 billion Muslims today spread over 200 countries and is expected to increase to 2.2 billion by 2030. The industry will be worth USD6.4 trillion by the end of 2018 with more non-traditional players and emergent markets. The stakes are high with pressures to generate novel and sustainable practices. This goes beyond systems and hard skills as it needs to cut into the self – the person of virtues in virtuous acts, not because they “have to” but because it is the purpose of humankind or his telos - to be “living well” and “acting well” or eudaimonia. This study seek to explore Halal executives’ lived experience of “eudaimonia.”. Using Giorgi’s descriptive psychological phenomenological method for data analysis, the study elicits two distinct invariant structures – ‘disequilibrium in status quo’ and ‘divinity salience’.

Authors: Mufitha Mohamed Buhari , Lee Su Teng , Yong Chen Chen
Published: July 2020

Compared to others, professionals share distinguish workplace characteristics: one such is the high commitment to the professions over to working organizations. Information Technology (IT) professionals demonstrate higher turnover rates compared to others: their commitments to the profession has been suspected as a source of turnover. Considering their job satisfactions the present study aimed to investigate the influence of professional commitment on IT professionals’ turnover intentions. Data were collected from a sample of software engineers from Sri Lank using a survey questionnaire. The results of the structural equation model analysis concluded that professional commitment weakens IT professionals’ turnover intentions, which is partially mediated by job satisfaction. Professional commitment stimulates IT professionals’ job satisfaction. The findings challenge the presumption that IT professionals leave their organizations due to high commitments to the profession. Few factors were identified as significant in their job satisfactions: supervision, co-workers and work design. Pay and promotions were the least influencing job satisfaction factors. Managers may employ few strategies in their retention strategies: facilitate professional advancement needs within organizations, closely monitor supervision activities occurs and provide challenging and meaningful jobs. The study contributes to the turnover literature through empirical evidence on the influence of professional commitment on knowledge workers’ turnover intentions.

Authors: Mokhtar Marziah , Fauzi @ Mat Rawi Fauziana
Published: July 2020

Higher Learning Institutions today are increasingly required to produce highly mobile graduates able to respond to the ever changing needs of the contemporary workplace. Through industrial training, interns will be exposed to ethical values and good working practices as well as to help them understand the safety practices and regulations inside the industry and to instill the spirit of teamwork and good relationship between interns and employees. The motivation for the current research study is to examine the implementation of industrial training conducted by Faculty of Business and Management of Universiti Teknologi MARA and industrial perception on Business Students during their practical period. This research is also prompted by the concern in the increasing number of unemployed among fresh graduates. Feedback from industries would give a better picture of what is required of students since employers are increasingly looking beyond a graduate's academic knowledge. Results show that interns are flexible towards task assigned, committed and resourceful towards work. However, their level of problem solving and analytical skills were low and they also lacked communication skills. It is anticipated that this exploratory study will enable the academia to bridge the gap between theory and practice thus improving the curricula towards developing successful professional business graduates.

Exploring Strategic Factors for Promoting Blood Donation Campaign
Authors: Muhammad Nur Shahrulliza , Hamdan Fairus , Norman Helmi , Yunus Amie Azida
Published: July 2020

Approximately 2.2 percent of the Malaysian population donates blood each year, compared to the standard expectation of 5 percent. It is a sign that this country will experience insufficient blood supply in the future. This worrying statistic has led to the exploration of blood donation decision-making conducted worldwide for the purpose to understand the factors that will help to encourage the publics to donate blood. Understanding the intention-based Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) helps the researchers to develop targeted campaigns based on specified factors from the pool survey. These TPB factors among Malaysian adults have not yet been fully investigated. Thus, the survey was administered to respondents concerning potential motivating factors based on the suggested TPB elements in their decision to donate blood. The study was conducted on Malaysian adults working in the public and private sectors. This study was to identify the correlation and regression value to identify the relationship between the factors and to infer causal relationships between the factors. The result shows that there is a significant relationship between the subjective norms with the blood donation intention. The potential discouraging factors need to be addressed to ensure future decision whether or not to donate blood might be inflected. However, this study has pointed out for further investigation on factors affecting the donor intention and decision to donate the blood among Malaysian adults.

Causas y consecuencias de la Pandemia COVID-19. De la inmovilidad de la humanidad a la circulación desconcentrada de personas
Authors: Nella Dino Di , Ibáñez Victoria
Published: July 2020

La prevención de las transmisiones comunitarias de virus y las enfermedades que conllevan, requieren análisis diferenciados. El presente trabajo se propone abordar algunas de las medidas que se han implementado en el marco de la emergencia sanitaria provocada por la pandemia COVID-19, desde un abordaje socio-jurídico crítico de inclusión por el ejercicio de derechos. El texto comienza con un breve análisis de las causas que están en la génesis de las pandemias, centrando la atención en el rol de los Estados Modernos y sus políticas neoliberales, respecto de los derechos de los pueblos que los integran. Posteriormente se analizan las medidas socio-sanitarias destinadas a gestionar las consecuencias de la pandemia, en especial las que se adoptaron para evitar la transmisión comunitaria del virus SARS-Cov-19, enfatizando en el denominado aislamiento social preventivo y obligatorio. Seguidamente se pormenoriza en las situaciones de los grupos más vulnerabilizados de la sociedad, como las mujeres, las familias monomarentales, los pueblos originarios, la población migrante y las/os trabajadores/as precarizados. Finalmente, se propone un modelo de abordaje de los desastres, las catástrofes y otras situaciones críticas como la pandemia, basado en una restricción de derechos selectiva y la contención comunitaria de la salud mental de toda la población.
Caps DNA Barcoding for Field Laboratory Identification of Grass Species (British Grasses as a Model)
Authors: Haider Nadia , Wilkinson Mike J
Published: July 2020

The true grasses (Poaceae) comprise one of the largest plant families on earth. The group is peerless in its contribution to global agricultural production and its members dominate many of the world’s most important habitats. However, morphological diagnosis of wild grasses is notoriously problematic and it is often impossible in the absence of flowering individuals. The advent of DNA barcoding provided a useful tool to address this problem for larger-scale or longer-term studies but the need for sequencing precludes its use in a field laboratory context or in situations where either funding or time is limited. Here, a chloroplast DNA (cpDNA)-based Cleaved Amplified Polymorphic Sequence (CAPS) system of molecular species diagnosis that has the capacity to address this problem is presented using British grasses as a model. First, PCRs were performed using universal primer pairs targeting 21 regions of the chloroplast genome in authenticated representatives of the 117 grass species from the British Isles, and universal amplification for all loci targeted was demonstrated. Second, 54 restriction enzymes were applied on amplification products generated from all species. There were 10 locus-enzyme combinations (with the highest variation) that had the best diagnostic utility for the 117 grass species.CAPS analysis on 16 representatives of three genera (Calamagrostis, Phleum, and Agrostis) was then used to illustrate the potential utility of the pipeline for establishing a field-laboratory screen of species identity. CAPS DNA barcoding system developed here may have ecological, conservation, and commercial applications. However, it has limited possibilities for intraspecific differentiation due to the highly conserved nature of loci targeted within species.
Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma: a case report of recurrence in the chest wall
Authors: Chen Kerry Lei , Chen Michelle Zhiyun , Altoukhi Khaled Hassan , Alzahrani Nayef , Morris David L
Published: July 2020

Background:

Mesothelioma is a rare malignancy which is uniformly fatal without treatment. The standard of care for peritoneal mesothelioma is currently cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). Recurrent disease after treatment is typically confined to the peritoneal cavity.

Case Presentation:

We present the case of a 34-year-old female with recurrent peritoneal mesothelioma in the left chest wall, 26 months after her initial CRS and HIPEC. The patient underwent excision of the chest wall excision with the removal of the lower ribs, CRS, and HIPEC. Histopathology confirmed epithelioid-type mesothelioma deposits in skeletal muscle and hyaline cartilage. Her recovery was uncomplicated, and she was planned for adjuvant radiotherapy postoperative.

Conclusion:

This case presents an unusual and rare site of the recurrence of malignant peritoneal mesothelioma. It highlights the difficulty in choosing the optimal management of such cases of recurrence and the role of surgery in these instances. In complex cases of recurrent peritoneal mesothelioma, we recommend a discussion within a multidisciplinary team to provide the optimal outcome for these patients.

Purpose: The objective of this study was to evaluate the implementation of a new Single-Pass WBCT Protocol in the management of patients with severe trauma.
Methods: This was an observational, prospective study of polytrauma patients who underwent WBCT. Patients were divided into three groups: 1. Blunt trauma hemodynamically stable 2. Blunt trauma hemodynamically unstable and 3. Penetrating trauma. Demographics, WBCT parameters and outcome variables were evaluated.
Results: 263 patients were included. Median Injury Severity Score (ISS) was 22 (IQR: 16-22). Time between arrival to the ED and completing the WBCT was under 30 minutes in most patients [Group 1: 28 minutes (IQR: 14-55), Group 2: 29 minutes (IQR: 16-57), and Group 3: 31 minutes (IQR: 13-50); p=0.96]. 172 patients (65.4%) underwent non-operative management. The calculated and the real survival rates did not vary among the groups either [Group 1: TRISS 86.4% vs. RSR 85% (p=0.69); Group 2: TRISS 69% vs. RSR 74% (p=0.25); Group 3: TRISS 93% vs. RSR 87% (p=0.07)].
Conclusion: This new Single-Pass WBCT Protocol was safe, effective and efficient to decide whether the patient with severe trauma requires a surgical intervention independently of the mechanism of injury or the hemodynamic stability of the patient. Its use could also potentially reduce the rate of unnecessary surgical interventions of patients with severe trauma including those with penetrating trauma.
Sociedade e linguagem: uma relação perniciosa? Uma reflexão sobre o Isolamento Social
Authors: Menezes Tayana Dias
Published: July 2020

Nesta conferência, o professo Rajagopalan, por meio de um acontecimento atual: a pandemia do Covid-19 e o isolamento social, reflete sobre a relação indivíduo/ sociedade. Essa reflexão perpassa o pensamento do bom selvagem de Rousseau – o homem, inicialmente, é puro, a sociedade que o corrompe, em outras palavras, a sociedade seria um organismo pernicioso que afeta/ infecta o ser humano; puro por natureza, saudável e são. Essa reflexão serve de ponte para o conceito de umbigofilia – preocupação demasiada do eu e a indiferença, ou até mesmo repudio, ao coletivo/ social. Além disso, o professor questiona o papel da sociedade nos estudos da linguagem: as pesquisas sobre linguagem devem partir do exterior (sociedade) para o interior (indivíduo) ou o movimento deve ser o oposto? Por fim, o professor nos lembra que “não existe sujeito sem sociedade e ele não pode viver preso numa teia”.
Globalização: promoção de uma visão monolítica de língua e cultura?
Authors: Baptistone Shirlei Almeida
Published: July 2020

Esta resenha foi gerada a partir da conferência do Professor Rainer Enrique Hamel, na Abralin ao vivo, no dia 29/05/2020. Pretendemos problematizar o caráter homogeneizante da língua inglesa, uma vez que seu monopólio pode não somente influenciar estruturas linguísticas, mas principalmente estruturas discursivas e modelos culturais de um povo. O inglês, chamado de língua hipercentral, não tem apenas ocupado um lugar de destaque na área da Ciência, mas também “expulsado” as línguas supercentrais como se fosse um processo natural. Esse tempo de pandemia tem servido para nos mostrar que se a Ciência continuar caminhando separada da sociedade sofreremos consequências desastrosas. Observaremos alguns aspectos da prática científica pautada pela falaciosa análise bibliométrica.

Objetivo: Este trabalho tem como objetivo, testar e comparar três técnicas coproparasitológicas para o diagnóstico de parasitos intestinais de seres humanos. Métodos: Foram realizadas 141 análises de amostras fecais de pessoas com variadas idades, utilizando três metodologias: método de Hoffman, Pons e Janer-adaptado por Katagiri S e Oliveira-sequeira TCG (2007), método de Willis-Mollay (1921) e a técnica de Gordon e Whitlock-modificada (ou OPG). Resultados: A prevalência de helmintíases utilizando o método de Hoffman, Pons e Janer-adaptado foi de 14,18% (20), para o método de Willis-Mollay foi de 15,32% (19) e para a técnica de OPG foi de 12,94% (15). Conclusão: Os resultados mostraram que o método de Willis-Mollay recuperou um número maior de gêneros de parasitos instestinais e demonstrou ser mais rápido e de fácil execução. E com a realização das três metodologias, pode-se observar que as espécies de Ascaris lumbricoides e Trichuris trichiura foram às de maior prevalência neste estudo.

Objetivo: Caracterizar, através de uma revisão integrativa, por meio de indicadores bibliométricos, a produção científica publicada em periódicos online, acerca da reversão de estomia intestinal de eliminação. Métodos: Estudo documental de revisão de literatura, realizado via Portal Regional da Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde com a estratégia: (tw:("reversão" OR "fechamento")) AND (tw:("colostomia" OR "ileostomia" OR "estomia" OR "ostomia" OR "estoma" OR "ostoma")). Incluíram-se artigos completos, disponíveis online, nos idiomas português, inglês ou espanhol, sem recorte temporal. A análise deu-se pela distribuição de frequência simples e relativa. Resultados: O corpus foi constituído de 41 artigos, dos quais 63,4% foram localizados na Medical Literature and Retrivial System Online. O ano de 2014 teve o maior número de publicações, com 14,6% dos artigos, 34,1% do total dos estudos foram realizados no Brasil e a Revista Brasileira de Coloproctologia obteve o maior número de publicações, com 17%. Todos os estudos foram realizados por médicos. Verificou-se que 80,5% correspondiam a artigos originais e 48,8% eram quantitativos. Considerações finais: Os estudos foram desenvolvidos por médicos, direcionados a cirurgia, especialmente, a questões relacionadas às técnicas cirúrgicas e ao pré e pós-operatório. Entende-se que há necessidade de produções que vislumbrem perspectivas do cuidado de enfermagem relativas à temática.

Objetivo: Descrever as características sociodemográficas e clínicas dos indivíduos com tuberculose (TB), e avaliar associações dessas características com os resultados da baciloscopia e radiografia de tórax. Métodos: Estudo descritivo transversal, com amostra constituída pelos indivíduos diagnosticados com TB e notificados em um centro de referência terciário estadual brasileiro. Dados sociodemográficos e clínicos foram coletados dos prontuários físicos, eletrônicos e do SINAN. Para a análise estatística foram utilizados o Qui-quadrado, o teste Exato de Fisher e a Razão da Máxima Verossimilhança, sendo considerado significante p<0,05. Resultados: Houve maior prevalência de indivíduos do sexo masculino, adultos, da região Metropolitana, com TB pulmonar. Comorbidades encontradas: tabagismo (42,86%), etilismo (40,81%), hipertensão arterial sistêmica (28,6%), doença hepática (26,53%), diabetes mellitus (24,5%), HIV (12,2%) e drogas ilícitas (10,20%). A baciloscopia positiva foi associada com maior percentual de cultura positiva e de TB multirresistente (MDR), sendo encontrada em todos os indivíduos TB MDR. A radiografia de tórax suspeita foi observada em todos os indivíduos TB pulmonar. Conclusão: As comorbidades mais frequentes foram: tabagismo, hipertensão arterial sistêmica, doença hepática e diabetes mellitus. A associação da baciloscopia positiva com TB MDR merece atenção, considerando que os indivíduos bacilíferos possuem maior potencial de transmissibilidade da doença.
