Human resource development strategies for effectively developing middle managers at global conglomerates to create synergies through cross-business collaboration
Authors: Negishi Yusuke , Li Jessica
Published: February 2025

When corporations develop multiple businesses, they become conglomerates. Companies such as Apple, Google, and Amazon have become emerging conglomerates by expanding their business toward several new fields. Although conglomerates suffer from discounts in the stock market, their productivity and efficiency depend on effectively managing sub-businesses. Conglomerates must synergize through cross-business collaborations, where middle managers play a significant role in strategy realization. However, little research has been conducted on middle managers’ strategic role in the success of conglomerates. This multi-case qualitative study is designed to address this gap. This study reveals that middle managers are important for conglomerates in creating synergies. By developing 11 themes, this study thematically categorizes related development programmes and corporate initiatives for middle managers to create cross-business synergies. Finally, it demonstrates a three-step process for human resource development managers and corporate executives to evaluate whether their human resource development strategies are adequately established. In addition, the results reveal two categories of managerial strategy for middle manager development — collaborative and open/flexible management strategies.

Published: February 2025

Introduction

This study aimed to investigate the impact of perinatal body condition score (BCS) and its subsequent loss on postpartum performance and health outcomes in dairy cattle.

Material and Methods

A total of 156 cows were randomly selected, and blood samples were collected at –21, 0, 7, 14, 21, 28 and 50 days relative to calving. Milk yield and disease incidence in dairy cows were recorded after calving. These cows were subsequently categorised into three groups based on BCS loss during the transition period: a no-BCS-loss (maintained BCS) group (M, 0 < BCS loss ≤ 0.25), low-BCS-loss group (L, 0.25 < BCS loss ≤ 0.5), and high-BCS-loss group (H, BCS loss > 0.5).

Results

All groups experienced a decline in BCS from 21 days prepartum through 50 days postpartum (P-value < 0.01). Cows in the H group had the highest levels of non-esterified fatty acids, beta-hydroxybutyrate, total cholesterol, aspartate aminotransferase, albumin, malondialdehyde and leptin (P-value < 0.05). Concomitantly, total antioxidant capacity, as well as the levels of insulin and glucose, were the lowest in group H (P-value < 0.05). Plasma concentrations of Ca, P, Mg and K, urea nitrogen and total bilirubin were not significantly influenced by BCS loss (P-value > 0.05). Cows in the M group were less likely to develop ketosis, mastitis, retained placenta, displaced abomasum and metritis than those in the H group, and cows in the H group produced the lowest milk yields (P-value < 0.05).

Conclusion

These observations collectively indicate that BCS loss is associated with measurable changes in energy balance, liver function, oxidative stress, daily milk production and disease incidence during the transition period.
Is Pseudomonas aeruginosa a possible aetiological agent of periodontitis in dogs?
Authors: Targońska-Karasek Małgorzata , Polkowska Izabela , Krukowski Henryk
Published: February 2025

Introduction

Periodontal diseases are the most frequently diagnosed problem in small animal veterinary medicine. Although their exact cause is not fully understood, bacteria play an important role in their development. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming bacterium. The living environment of this bacterium may be soil and water; however, it can also be found in humans and animals. Antibiotic treatment of periodontitis may be complicated by the carbapenem resistance of some P. aeruginosa strains, if these bacteria are found to be an aetiological agent. The aim of the study was to identify all bacterial strains isolated from dog with periodontitis.

Material and Methods

After a clinical examination of a Schnauzer dog in the Department and Clinic of Animal Surgery in the University of Life Sciences in Lublin Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, periodontitis was diagnosed. A swab was taken from the diseased tissue and submitted for microbiological tests. Microorganisms were initially identified by colony morphology, haemolytic pattern and Gram staining, and subsequently by sensitivity tests, VITEK 2 and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation–time-of-flight.

Results

Pseudomonas aeruginosa was isolated and identified as a probable aetiological factor of periodontitis in dogs.

Conclusion

In our opinion, attention should be paid to Pseudomonas aeruginosa as a possible aetiological factor of periodontal diseases in dogs.
Does Ownership Matter: Nexus Between Entrepreneurial Orientation, Network Capability, Financial Resources Diversity and Financial Performance of HGCs
Authors: Frešer Blaž , Tominc Polona
Published: February 2025

Background/Purpose

This paper aims to analyse the nexus between selected growth determinants and the financial performance of high-growth companies (HGCs) in relation to their ownership. In line with principal-agent theory, we try to determine if the differences exist between managers who are also (co)owners and those managers who are not (co)owners. Also, we analysed if additional equity-based compensation, through different growth determinants, could increase HGC’s financial performance.

Methods

The study was conducted on a sample of 119 HGCs from the Republic of Slovenia and was carried out in 2022. The empirical analysis was performed using regression analysis based on exploratory factor analysis (EFA). Analysis was performed using IBM SPSS Statistics 27 software.

Results

Results showed that considering the importance of organisational networking capability for HGC’s financial performance, there are statistically significant differences between owner-managers and managers, implying that ownership (and equity-based compensations) could positively shape HGC’s financial performance. In addition, results show that when analysing the owners-managers group of HGCs, risk-taking and organisational networking capability positively and statistically significantly impact HGC’s financial performance.

Conclusion

Our paper highlights the importance of organisational networking capability as a growth determinant through which equity-based manager compensations can positively influence HGCs’ financial performance. The study contributes to diverse literature related to HGCs and contributes to relevancy for the policymakers aiming at enabling better financial performance of HGCs.

For each integer n ≥ 2, let p

2 ≤ ··· ≤ pk
be the complete list of the prime factors of a(n):= n(n+1). Consider the function sn

(pj
)= 0 if pj | n and 1 if pj | n + 1. Then consider the binary number h(n) := sn
(p

(pk
). In an earlier paper, we proved that the number 0.h(2) h(3) h(4) ... is a binary normal number and in fact we proved the more general statement when, for a fixed integer t ≥ 2, we set a(n) := n(n +1) ··· (n + t − 1), thus allowing for the construction of a normal number in base t. Here, we give a much shorter and simpler proof of this result and then we consider a more general result when a(n) is the product of linear functions.
On the Connection Between the Beurling-Malliavin Density and the Asymptotic Density
Authors: Giuliano Rita , Grekos Georges
Published: February 2025

We study the notion of Beurling-Malliavin density from the point of view of Number Theory. We prove a general relation between the Beurling-Malliavin density and the upper asymptotic density; we identify a class of sequences for which the two densities coincide; this class contains the arithmetic progressions. Last, by means of an alternative definition of Beurling-Malliavin density, we study the connection with the asymptotic density for another kind of sequences that again generalizes the arithmentic progressions.

Cele i dążenia życiowe jako wartości codzienne młodzieży szkolnej
Authors: Mariański Janusz
Published: February 2025

W niniejszych rozważaniach przeanalizowano wartości codzienne (cele i dążenia życiowe) młodzieży szkolnej w świetle badań socjologicznych i sondaży opinii publicznej. W przeprowadzonych analizach socjologicznych wskazano na wiodące (naczelne) wartości codzienne w świadomości młodzieży polskiej i na wartości mniej znaczące (drugorzędne, wtórne), a także na ich przemiany w strukturze hierarchicznej. Przemiany te mają raczej ewolucyjny i powolny charakter. W środowiskach młodzieżowych wartość „udane życie rodzinne” traci nieco na znaczeniu w kontekście innych konkurencyjnych wartości. W drugiej dekadzie XXI wieku zaznaczył się spadek aprobaty tej wartości o kilkanaście punktów procentowych. Rodzina, miłość i przyjaźń należą bez wątpienia do wiodących wartości codziennych. Do wartości wspierających, stanowiących jakby swoiste zaplecze dla tych pierwszych, należą: praca, wykształcenie, samorealizacja, w znacznie mniejszym stopniu religia. Wyraźnie mniejszą popularnością cieszą się wartości o charakterze społecznym, wymagające bezinteresownego otwarcia się na sprawy i problemy konkretnego człowieka, a zwłaszcza na szersze struktury społeczne, jak np. ojczyzna. Utrzymuje się od dawna niska ranga wartości politycznych, co zapewne związane jest z brakiem zaufania do elit politycznych, a niska ranga wartości religijnych wskazuje na postępujący proces sekularyzacji moralności.

Serial Blood Pressures Versus a Single Repeat Blood Pressure in a Family Medicine Clinic
Authors: Philbrick Ann , Carlin Caroline , Fallert Christopher
Published: February 2025

Purpose. The best method to measure blood pressure (BP) in a clinic setting is debatable. This study was conducted to compare serial BPs to a single repeat BP after an initial elevated reading.
Methods. For this quality improvement process, instead of obtaining a second BP measurement after an initially elevated BP, medical assistants (MA) obtained serial BP readings two minutes apart. Rooming BP was compared to the first serial BP reading (current process), and to the average of the last two BP readings.
Results. Seventy-eight patients were included. The average rooming BP was 155.5 ± 15.3 mmHg systolic (mean ± standard deviation) and 88.7 ± 11.8 mmHg diastolic, which decreased to 146.05 ± 18.2 mmHg systolic and 85.7 ± 11.8 mmHg diastolic for the first BP and 147.5 ± 16.2 mmHg systolic and 86.9 ± 12.1 mmHg diastolic for the average BP. Compared to the rooming BP, both readings were significantly decreased (first BP: p<0.001 SBP, p=0.006 DBP; average BP: p<0.001 SBP, p=0.011 DBP), but results were not significant when first BP was compared to average BP (p=0.756 SBP, p=0.278 DBP). A total of 26.9% and 23.1% of patients reached a BP goal of <140/90 mmHg with the first BP (p<0.001), and average BP (p<0.001), respectively.
Conclusion. In patients presenting to an outpatient clinic with an initial elevated BP reading, simply repeating a single BP measurement shortly after completing the rooming process resulted in significantly reduced BP readings, and was equal to obtaining serial readings. In a busy clinic or pharmacy setting, healthcare providers can be reasonably confident that a single repeat blood pressure is an accurate reflection of a patient’s true BP.
Features of Political Processes in Central Asian Countries: at the present Stage
Authors: Garbuzarova E. G.
Published: February 2025

In the context of the crisis of the liberal democratic model, authoritarian tendencies strengthen in all Central Asian countries, including Kyrgyzstan. This country demonstrated success in the process of democratic transit for a long time. The purpose of the article is to analyze the content and nature of political processes in Central Asian countries at the present stage. Based on the method of comparative analysis common and distinctive features in the political regimes of the countries of the region are highlighted. The Central Asian countries are grouped according to the principle of recurring trends in domestic political processes. In Central Asian countries, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan are the most vulnerable to «color revolutions». The likelihood of such a scenario, fraught with political instability, encourages some political leaders of the countries of the region (Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan) to carry out reforms and design a political regime that more or less proportionally reflects economic reality and social needs, while others (Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan) resort to methods of «tightening the screws», clearing the space from political opposition. In both cases, this leads to the strengthening of the regime of personal power of the heads of state of the Central Asian countries, and, consequently, the president will continue to remain at the top of the power hierarchy. However, the results of the recent presidential elections in Uzbekistan and the presidential and parliamentary elections in Kazakhstan show that there is a demand for a strong government capable of ensuring socio-political order and stability in these societies.
Labyrinthine Routes to Meditation: Contemplative Pedagogy and Instructor Self-Care
Authors: Mera Ford Natalie
Published: February 2025

In the pandemic- and post-pandemic era, new as well as exacerbated work-life stressors have led academia to recognize the vital role wellness plays in teaching and learning. While most institutional and pedagogical response has understandably focused on students’ holistic health, this essay promotes increased instructor self-care as a necessary complement to supporting learners in higher education. By practicing meditative exercises drawn from contemplative pedagogy, faculty and instructional staff can create synergy between mindfulness strategies that we might invite students to try and our own attention to the whole self outside class. As the essay’s case study shows, labyrinth walking in particular embodies a flexible way to find stability and harmony within constraints, offering a form of mindful meditation that resonates with the complex, demanding embeddedness instructors experience on and off campus. Such meditative self-care can also generate greater care for educators as a community, while helping sustain our collective efforts to support students and others in professional, domestic, and civic spheres. Expanding the discourse on academic well-being to focus on instructors too thus shifts academic culture toward more fully realizing its emphasis on transformative holism in teaching as well as in learning.
Estimate the Levels of Copeptin and Chromogranin A and Some Biochemical Parameters in Patients with Chronic Diseases
Authors: Faris Rija Firas
Published: February 2025

The current study aimed to estimate the concentrations of copeptin and chromogranin A and some biochemical parameters in patients with chronic diseases. Eighty-five subjects reported different chronic diseases in Azadi Teaching Hospital and Al-Jumhuri Hospital from September 2023 to January 2024. Experimental work was carried out at the Laboratories of Al-Jumhuri Hospital in Kirkuk, Iraq. The volunteers in the current study were divided as follows: 30 healthy volunteers as a control group. 25 patients with chronic kidney disease. 30 patients with diabetes mellitus. 30 patients with heart failure diseases. The results showed some kidney functions in chronic kidney disease (CKD), diabetes mellitus (DM), and heart failure (HF) patients, where urea and creatinine levels in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients significantly increased (P ≤ 0.05) compared to the control group. In DM patients and HF patients, the urea and creatinine levels showed non-significant (P > 0.05) change compared to the control group. CRP percentage in CKD patients was (52.0 %).  DM patients and HF patients were (50.0 %) and (46.7 %), respectively, compared to the control group, which was (0.0 %). On the other hand, the results showed copeptin levels in CKD, DM, and heart failure patients were significantly (P ≤ 0.05) elevated compared to the control group. Chromogranin A (CgA) levels in CKD, DM, and heart failure patients significantly increased (P ≤ 0.05) compared to the control group. Based on the results of the current study, both copeptin and chromogranin A can be considered an important indicator in the diagnosis of some chronic diseases.
Effect of Surface Roughness on Aerodynamic Performance of Symmetric NACA 0012
Authors: K. Mohammad Hussein
Published: February 2025

Roughness in a wind turbine blade surface has a large effect on its aerodynamic performance. The current research concentrates on the various effects of the surface roughness upon the aerodynamics of a symmetrical NACA 0012 airfoil. In this respect, six kinds of different grit sizes of sandpaper were used: P500, P1000, P1500, P2000, P2500, and P3000, to provide a range of roughened surfaces for the study. In this experiment, the lift and drag coefficients were measured at three angles of attack (5, 10, and 15 degrees), and at three flow speeds of (5, 10, and 15 m/s). It was realized that an increase in surface roughness significantly impairs the aerodynamic efficiency, depicted by a reduction in the lift coefficient and an augmenting coefficient of drag. These changes lead to a reduced lift-to-drag ratio and reflect the importance of smoothness of the surface of wind turbine blades to maintain optimal performance. Comparisons with previous studies corroborate these findings, proving that surface roughness generates increased turbulence and skin friction, causing deterrents in boundary layer development around the airfoil.

Published: February 2025

Purpose–This paper presents a comprehensive empirical analysis focusing on sentiment flux within state-of-the-art models designed for handling polarity shifts due to implicit negation in Amazon mobile phones' reviews.

Method–The research evaluates diverse models across five categories: traditional machine learning (ML), deep learning (DL), and hybrid models combining both approaches. Various feature extraction, feature selection, and data augmentation techniques are tested on Amazon mobile phone reviews dataset. BERT and LSTM are used for deep learning while SVM and Naive Bayes are used for traditional ML. ANOVA is used to identify the presence or absence of significant differences and interactions among these entities.

Results –DL shows superior performance compared to traditional ML models. ANOVA analysis shows significant performance differences between conventional ML and DL models. Traditional ML models interact significantly with feature extraction and selection techniques while DL models do not. Traditional ML models do not interact significantly with data augmentation methods while DL models do. FastText extraction outperforms word2vec; Back translation outperforms synonym replacement while recursive feature selection (RFE) surpasses TF-IDF (Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency). The BERT and LSTM exhibit one of the strongest performances.

Conclusion –The study concludes that DL models are more effective. Data augmentation techniques significantly impact the performance of DL models, with back translation showing superior performance over synonym replacement. This provides a leverage point in developing an improved model in the future.

Recommendations –Future research should focus on developing a hybrid model for Enhanced Polarity Shift Management of Mobile Phone Reviews using Contextual Back Translation Augmented by Seq2seq Perturbations. This aims at leveraging contextual back translation and Seq2seq perturbations to generate a diverse interpretation that consequently improves the model's ability to handle nuanced expressions of sentiments due to implicit negation with enhanced accuracy, generalizability, robustness to polarity shifts, and contextual understanding.

Research Implications –The findings provide valuable insights into the development of state-of-the-art models, offering a promising direction for further research in sentiment analysis.

На основе анализа архивных источников раскрывается процесс формирования трехступенчатой структуры отечественного музыкального образования. Показывается, что этот процесс начался в 1921 году, был обусловлен необходимостью разрешения противоречий, существовавших в российском музыкальном образовании с дореволюционного времени, осуществлялся в русле проводившейся Наркомпросом РСФСР работы по упорядочению всей образовательной системы в стране. В своем развитии данный процесс прошел два этапа. На первом этапе консерватории были реорганизованы в учебные заведения, включавшие в себя как единое целое три образовательные ступени: музыкальную школу I ступени, музыкальный техникум и вуз. На втором этапе данные ступени были выделены в самостоятельные, преемственно связанные между собой учебные заведения, реализовавшие соответственно программы начального, среднего специального и высшего музыкального образования. К концу 1926 года была завершена работа по подготовке нормативно-правовых документов, регламентировавших деятельность этих учебных заведений. Делается вывод: сложившаяся в 1920-е годы конструкция музыкального образования (школа - техникум - вуз) в последующие десятилетия оказалась эффективной - советское, российское музыкальное образование заняло ведущие позиции в мировом образовательном пространстве.

The formation process of a three-level structure of domestic music education is revealed on the basis of the archive sources analysis. it is shown that this process began in 1921 and was due to the need to resolve the contradictions that had existed in the Russian music education since the pre-revolutionary time. The process was congruent with the work of the People's Commissariat of Education of the RSFSR which was oriented to streamline the educational system in the country. In its development this process went through two stages. At the first stage, the conservatories were reorganized into educational institutions which included as a whole three educational levels: a music primary school, a music technical school and an institution of higher education. At the second stage, these levels were separated into independent, successively interconnected educational institutions that implemented the programs of primary, specialized secondary and higher music education. By the end of 1926, the work on the preparation of legal normative documents regulating the activities of these educational institutions was completed. It is concluded that the structure of music education (school - technical school - institution of higher education) developed in the 1920s turned out to be effective in the following decades. The Soviet and Russian music education took leading positions in the global educational space.
ХОРОВОЕ ИСПОЛНИТЕЛЬСТВО БОРИСА ТЕВЛИНА

Огромный исполнительский опыт, который зафиксирован в творческом наследии Б.Г. Тевлина, продолжает служить для представителей хорового дирижирования определённым художественным эталоном и практической школой совершенствования артистического мастерства. В статье ставится цель проанализировать многомерный диапазон тех творческих задач, которые ставил перед собой в ходе своей более чем полустолетней хоровой практики выдающийся дирижёр. Эта цель реализуется посредством тщательного рассмотрения как концептуальных замыслов музыканта, так и тех конкретных приёмов, на которые он опирался в ходе подготовительной работы над исполняемыми произведениями. Особой аксиологической рефлексии подвергается та сторона деятельности дирижёра, которая была связана с чрезвычайно активным расширением диапазона репертуара хоровых коллективов как в хронологическом, так и в географическом отношениях. Весь ход представленных в статье наблюдений подводит к мысли о неоценимости творческого вклада Б.Г. Тевлина в современное состояние отечественного хорового искусства.

The vast performing experience recorded in the creative heritage of B.G. Tevlin continues to serve as a certain artistic benchmark and practical school for representatives of choral conducting to improve their artistic skills. The article aims to analyse the multidimensional range of creative tasks that the outstanding conductor set himself in the course of his more than half a century of choral practice. This aim is realised through a careful consideration of both the musician's conceptual ideas and the specific techniques he relied on in the course of his preparatory work on the works he performed. A special axiological reflection is subjected to that aspect of the conductor's activity, which was associated with an extremely active expansion of the range of repertoire of choral ensembles both chronologically and geographically. The whole course of observations presented in the article leads to the idea of the inestimability of B.G. Tevlin's creative contribution to the current state of the national choral art.

В статье будут освещены причины, проблемы, влияющие на формирование религиозного экстремизма в нашей стране. Также будут указаны некоторые направления проти­во­дей­ст­вия религиозному экстремизму. Актуальность темы связана с необходимостью углубленного изучения их возникновения для борьбы с религиозно запрещенными организациями и экстре­миз­мом в целом. Необходимо анализировать проблемы, кото­рые мы рассматриваем, через религиозное сознание. В конце кон­­цов, общее невежество в том числе недостаток рели­гиоз­ной информации порождает нигилизм повсюду. С другой сто­ро­ны, нигилизм может стать источником негативных явле­ний в обществе, в том числе правонарушений экстремистской направленности. Отметив, что основной предпосылкой таких противоправных явлений является недостаток информации, и будут обозначены проблемы религиозного образования. Наряду с этим будут предложены некоторые меры по преодолению ре­лигиозного экстремизма.

Ал эми, нигилизм болсо өз учурунда коомдогу терс көрүнүштөрдүн, алардын ка­та­рында экстремисттик багыттагы укук бузуулардын дагы башаты болуп калуусу мүмкүн.

Along with this, some measures will be pro­­posed to overcome religious extremism.
