Authors: Bahrami Masoud , Musarezaie Amir , Farzi Sedigheh , Beigi-Harchegani Hossein , Mosavizadeh Rohallah
Published: November 2024

BACKGROUND:

Considering the importance of the spiritual health promotion of Mothers of Children with Acute Leukemia (MoCwAL), designing a native mobile health (mHealth) application that is compatible with the beliefs, values, and cultural context of Iranian society is essential. This study aims to develop a Spiritual Health Promotion Program (SHPP) for MoCwAL based on a mHealth application, including design, implementation, and evaluation.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

This is a sequential exploratory mixed-methods study (qual → QUAN). This study will be conducted in four phases. The first phase includes the development of the content of the SHPP using Ewles and Simnett’s (2010) designing pattern. After finalizing the SHPP, at the beginning of the second phase (mHealth application development), a panel of experts will be present. Based on the outputs obtained from this panel, the research team will proceed to design the application. The output of the second phase will be an initial version of the mHealth application. In the third phase, the usability and quality of mHealth application questionnaires will be evaluated. Results will be refined by the expert panel, and the final version of the application will be available. In the fourth phase, the SHPP for MoCwAL based on mHealth will be implemented as a quasi-experimental intervention, and mothers’ spiritual health be evaluated.

CONCLUSION:

This program can be useful in providing care, education, policy-making, and future research. Providing the SHPP in the form of an application will enable program users to benefit from the many advantages of information technology and will contribute to the expansion of the role of mHealth in the healthcare system and the strengthening of policies related to digital health in the field of chronic diseases.

Authors: Rakhshan Mahnaz , Derakhshan Somaye , Kalyani Majid Najafi
Published: November 2024

BACKGROUND:

Nurses experience a demanding work environment, and the state of their spiritual health and resilience can impact their ability to provide compassionate care. The objective of this study was to examine the connection between spiritual health, resilience, and compassionate care among nurses working in intensive care units.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

This descriptive cross-sectional study employed stratified sampling to select 340 nurses. The research utilized several instruments, including Demographic Information, Nurses’ Compassionate Care, Iranian Muslim Adult Spiritual Health, and Connor and Davidson Resilience Questionnaires (significance level: 0.05). The data was analyzed by SPSS software version 24 using statistical tests including Chi-square, t-test, and Pearson’s correlation coefficient.

RESULTS:

The results indicated that the majority of participants were female, with an average age of 32.65 years. The mean score for spiritual health was 192.53 ± 23.67, and the resilience score was 71.52 ± 13.43. The average score for compassionate care was 119.82 ± 13.93. The study revealed a significant positive relationship between spiritual health, resilience, and compassionate care in nurses (P < 0.05). Consequently, enhancing spiritual health and resilience scores positively influenced the compassionate care, and vice versa.

CONCLUSION:

To summarize a significant association exists between nurses’ spiritual health, resilience, and their ability to provide compassionate care. It is recommended that educational programs are developed and implemented to enhance and maintain the spiritual health, compassionate care, and resilience of nurses, ultimately improving patient care.

PURPOSE:

The purpose of the study was to study the efficacy of oral cyclophosphamide monotherapy in advanced resistant ocular cicatricial pemphigoid (OCP).

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

This retrospective case series examines patients diagnosed with advanced resistant OCP at a uveitis tertiary care center who were treated with oral cyclophosphamide therapy.

RESULTS:

Seventeen patients were included in this study. The average age of the participants was 74.3 ± 10.3 years, ranging from 60 to 99 years. The gender distribution was 8 females to 9 males. Oral cyclophosphamide-induced remission in 7 patients (41.1%) and was prematurely discontinued in 10 patients (58.9%), with 7 (63.7%) citing ineffectiveness and 3 (36.3%) experiencing side effects as reasons for discontinuation. The average therapy dose of cyclophosphamide administered was 116.1 ± 47.5 mg. The average duration required for the induction of remission was 150 ± 128 days. The overall therapy duration averaged 306 ± 189 days. Conducting univariate logistic regression with generalized estimating equations (GEEs) on variables did not reveal statistically significant differences between the two groups (responsive and nonresponsive to oral cyclophosphamide therapy), except for the maximum dose of oral cyclophosphamide therapy (P = 0.007).

CONCLUSION:

The prognosis of advanced OCP in patients is unlikely to be altered by the stepladder approach and step-up strategy. While oral cyclophosphamide can be efficacious for remission induction in resistant and aggressive OCP cases, a step-down strategy employing less potent agents with safer side effect profiles should be contemplated for subsequent treatment.

Self-similar spirals for the generalized surface quasi-geostrophic equations
Authors: García Claudia , Gómez-Serrano Javier
Published: November 2024

We construct a large class of nontrivial (nonradial) self-similar solutions of the generalized surface quasi-geostrophic equations (gSQG). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first rigorous construction of any self-similar solution for these equations. The solutions are of spiral type, locally integrable, and may have mixed sign. Moreover, they bear some resemblance to the finite time singularity scenario numerically proposed by Scott–Dritschel [J. Fluid Mechanics 863, article no. R2 (2019)] in the SQG patch setting.

Building the Nation Through Social Science: The Rossiiskii Project and Its Protagonists
Authors: Fediunin Jules
Published: November 2024

This article examines the idea of the civic nation, known as rossiiskii project, and its intellectual roots in post-Soviet Russia. After exploring the intertwined careers of its leading theorists and promoters, the article analyzes the ways in which social science expertise has been deliberately placed at the service of a political cause, i.e., Russian nation-building. Finally, the article shows the lack of consensus around this project, as well as the reluctance of the Putin regime to impose it.

L’article interroge le concept de nation civique, appelée nation russienne (rossijskaâ naciâ), et ses ressorts intellectuels dans la Russie postsoviétique. Après une étude des carrières croisées des principaux théoriciens et promoteurs de ce concept, l’article analyse les façons dont l’expertise en sciences sociales a été délibérément mise au service d’une cause politique : la construction nationale. Sont enfin démontrées l’absence de consensus autour de ce projet et l’hésitation du régime de Poutine à l’imposer.
The current state of Alex’s line in the Bohemian Shepherd Dog breed
Authors: Boljkovac Begić Barbara
Published: November 2024

The Bohemian Shepherd Dog is a Czech working dog breed of medium size with a long black and tan coat and characteristic ear shape. The dogs of this breed are friendly, trainable, and with no sign of nervousness. The population of this historic breed of dogs, known since the 13th century, was almost destroyed until 1984, when Jan Findejs and Dr. Vilém Kurz partnered to take the first steps to regenerate the breed. One of the sires used in the project was a sire named Alex. This study aimed to determine the state of Alex’s line (IV. line), and the number of descendant dogs born from 2021 until the first quarter of 2024. Used 13 years after the start of the breed regeneration project, and with only two breeding first-generation descendants, Alex’s line accounted for 2.7% of the population from the beginning in 1996 until 2008. In 2009 an expansion started, caused by three of his male descendants who sired more than 100 puppies each, resulting in Alex’s progeny accounting for 41.25% of all registered puppies from 2021 to 2024. Therefore, genetic testing before mating is now an essential measure to prevent genetic diseases in purebred dogs.

Fasciolosis and dicrocoeliosis are severe parasitic infections that result in substantial economic damages to livestock farming globally as a consequence of reduced productivity and viscera condemnation. Molecular tests such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) can detect Fasciola hepatica and Dicrocoelium dendriticum DNA with high sensitivity and specificity. In this study, we aimed to assess the presence of F. hepatica and D. dendriticum by PCR-based techniques in 400 small ruminant bile samples retrieved from central Portugal. Additionally, we conducted genetic characterisation of F. hepatica and D. dendriticum in these samples. Only one of the 400 bile samples (0.25%; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.01–1.39) examined by PCR tested positive for F. hepatica, and two samples (0.50%, 95% CI: 0.06–1.79) tested positive for D. dendriticum. Our findings indicate a low prevalence of F. hepatica and D. dendriticum in Portuguese small ruminants, underscoring the need to investigatefactors leading to meat rejection in slaughterhouses. Implementing effective parasite control measures is crucial to minimise economic losses and improve food safety. Addressing these infections and deploying targeted control strategies can enhance livestock production sustainability and ensure safe, high-quality meat products for consumers.
First report on the diversity of domestic pigeons (Columba livia) using plumage coloration and patterning in Saravena, Arauca, Colombia
Authors: Pardo-Pérez Enrique , Sánchez-Porras Martha , Figueroa-Lozano Mauricio
Published: November 2024

The domestic pigeon (Columba livia Gmelin, 1789), native to Africa and Eurasia, is extensively found across Europe, Western Asia, Africa, and the Americas. The pigeon (Columba livia) was domesticated several centuries ago and holds a privileged place as a symbol of peace, love, fidelity, and ornamentation in parks. In recent decades, an increase in the populations of these pigeons has been detected. The Spanish brought Columba livia to Colombia in the 15th century. The objective of this study was to evaluate the genetic diversity of the domestic pigeon using loci related to plumage coloration and patterning in Saravena. Random sampling was conducted in six colonies between March and April 2024. Through urban visits, direct observation, and photographic records, a phenotypic classification of each of the 580 pigeons from the different flocks studied was carried out. Autosomal markers associated with coloration and plumage were analysed: Grizzle, Spread, Checker, and the sex-linked locus Ash-Red. Genetic profiles were calculated using indices: allele frequency, genetic diversity, and population structure, estimated with the PopGene 1.31 program. Diversity was assessed using the FSTAT program. The dendrogram was constructed with the MEGA X program. The marker with the highest allele frequency was Grizzle (P=0.1834), while the Spread marker had the lowest values (P=0.0300). The highest HT value was 0.3002 for the Grizzle marker, GST showed figures of 0.0360, and gene flow was 20.6; the FIS and FIT statistics reported values of 0.2779 and 0.2848, and FIT was 0.0091. Moderate genetic diversity, a deficit of heterozygotes, and an excess of homozygotes were observed, along with low interpopulation genetic differentiation and high gene flow between subpopulations. Low genetic distance values were also found between the studied subpopulations. The populations are closely related genetically, which may be due to their geographical proximity, which has favoured genetic exchange.

Published: November 2024

As relações de parentesco, bem como aquelas originadas pelo Poder Familiar, ganharam amplitude com o desenvolver da sociedade e dos valores de cada época. Sendo assim, com a mudança desses preceitos da ética e da moral, urge o Direito, que flexiona seus axiomas de acordo com os fatos sociais. Faz-se fundamental, portanto, o estudo dessas mudanças, de forma que se analise e discuta essas novas percepções. Tendo isso em vista, o presente artigo tem como objetivo primordial discutir e analisar a possibilidade de exclusão hereditária como sanção civil oriunda do abandono afetivo. Isso porque, essa questão vem sendo cada vez mais abordada nos fóruns de ensino e pesquisa, bem como em jurisprudências, tendo em vista as ramificações do direito moderno, frente ao Estado Democrático de Direito, previsto tanto na Constituição da República Federativa do Brasil de 1988, quanto no Código Civil de 2002. Diante disso, frente às mudanças sociais e ao desenvolvimento do ordenamento jurídico, é imprescindível essa discussão acadêmica, a fim de alcançar maior esclarecimento acerca do entendimento que melhor resolve a problemática. Por essa razão, a metodologia adotada no presente artigo foi descritiva e exploratória, com método de abordagem dedutivo, indutivo e dialético. Já em relação ao método procedimental, tem-se o estruturalista e histórico, para melhor alcance dos resultados epistemológicos e melhor condução da pesquisa. No que diz respeito à técnica de pesquisa, foi utilizada a bibliográfica documental, em virtude do uso de doutrinas, jurisprudências, leis e artigos.

Published: November 2024

Diante da complexa realidade do sistema prisional brasileiro, caracterizada pela constante violação dos direitos humanos fundamentais, torna-se cada vez mais imperiosa a concepção de políticas públicas destinadas a conferir legitimidade e eficácia ao sistema prisional. Nessa perspectiva, o presente artigo possui por objetivo precípuo a análise da eficiência do monitoramento eletrônico como alternativa tendente a evitar a superlotação carcerária, consubstanciando num instrumento de humanização da execução penal. Ademais, faz-se imperiosa, também, a averiguação das condições concretas de tal política pública, de maneira a possibilitar a compreensão da sua aplicabilidade, mediante a arguição do real controle e da fiscalização dos presos. Para a sua construção, utilizou-se do método dedutivo de abordagem e da técnica de pesquisa bibliográfica. Outrossim, valeu-se do estudo de textos normativos e jurisprudenciais. Ao final, fez-se perceptível a necessidade de alternativas aos meios de cumprimento de pena presentes no Brasil, em virtude da inviabilidade da persistência de um sistema marcado por transgressões. Assim, concluiu-se que a implementação do Sistema de Monitoramento Eletrônico introduz, na teoria, uma alternativa humanizada de sanção penal, malgrado seja marcada por diversas falhas em sua aplicação prática.

Published: November 2024

A licitação é um processo público para aquisição de bens e serviços pela Administração Pública, visando a transparência e a eficiência. A nova Lei de Licitações n° 14.133/2021 introduziu mudanças significativas para modernizar e agilizar esse processo, promovendo maior concorrência e transparência, além de trazer inovações como o diálogo competitivo e o contrato de eficiência. Entretanto, apesar dos benefícios trazidos por essa evolução na legislação, surgem desafios significativos, especialmente para os municípios de pequeno porte. O objetivo do presente estudo é analisar os desafios enfrentados pelos municípios de pequeno porte na implementação da Lei de Licitações n° 14.133/2021, identificando as barreiras específicas que podem afetar a efetividade dos processos licitatórios nesses contextos. Para tanto, trata-se de um estudo exploratório e qualitativo, em que são utilizados os procedimentos técnicos de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental e os métodos de abordagens dedutivos e dialéticos. Os municípios de pequeno porte enfrentam obstáculos significativos ao implementar a nova Lei de Licitações, incluindo limitações financeiras devido a orçamentos reduzidos, uma estrutura administrativa enxuta e equipes pequenas. A falta de recursos técnicos e capacitação de servidores pode dificultar a conformidade com as complexas exigências da legislação. Além disso, a concorrência ampliada, a ênfase na transparência e controle, a gestão de riscos e a conformidade legal representam desafios adicionais. Para superar esses obstáculos, os municípios menores precisam de esforços coordenados, investimento em capacitação e adaptação às novas modalidades de licitação, a fim de garantir contratações públicas eficientes e em conformidade com a nova legislação.

The conditions for generation in the superradiance regime and the formation of a waveguide field taking into account reflection from the ends are discussed. In different generation modes, as shown in this work, both the waveguide field, determined by reflection effects and the geometry of the system, and the field of the total radiation of core particles, that is, the superradiance field, can dominate.
PROBABILITY OF ELECTRON TUNNELING THROUGH DIELECTRIC PORES IN SURFACE METAL LAYER
Authors: Lebedynska Yu.S. , Lebedynsky S.O. , Novak O.P. , Kholodov R.I.
Published: November 2024

The paper presents a study of the influence of nanovoids formed in the metal surface layer on the field emission current (the first stage of the accelerator structure breakdown). It is shown that the field emission current through nanovoids has a resonant character. It was found that under resonant conditions, an increase in the current density from the copper surface by more than 3.5 times compared to the case of an unmodified surface is observed. The presence of a dielectric in the nanovoids expands the resonant region. When the resonance conditions are not met or the diameter of the nanovoids increases, the current density decreases to zero, which can be a way to prevent an accelerator structure breakdown.

Authors: Wongsunopparat Sumas , Haoxiang Xu
Published: November 2024

The global economy and supply chain has suffered a severe shock since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, exports from major countries in Asia such as Japan and South Korea to China grew significantly. However, the popularity of imported products from Thailand to China has always increased with or without COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, it might be interesting to know why Chinese have been in love with imported products from Thailand for so long whereas many imported items from Thailand can also be found elsewhere especially in other Asian countries. The purpose of this research is to study factors influencing Chinese purchase decision of imported products from Thailand. These factors include six independent variables: Product (PD), Rareness (RN), Affordability (AF), Credibility (CD), Proximity (PX), and Culture (CT), and one dependent variable: Purchase Decision (PC). 433 sample were collected using electronic questionnaire through social media. We used Structural Equation Models (SEM) for data analysis. The result shows that the RMSEA, which is an absolute fit index that assesses how far our hypothesized model is from a perfect model, for this model is .028 (.90), the model seems to fit well according to the descriptive measures of fit. On the contrary, CFI and TLI, which are incremental fit indices that compare the fit of our hypothesized model with that of a baseline model (i.e., a model with the worst fit), whose values are both greater than .90 (CFI = .984, TLI = .980) indicating an acceptable fit. More importantly all factors included in the model i.e. Product (PD), Rareness (RN), Affordability (AF), Credibility (CD), Proximity (PX), and Culture (CT) seem to have significant effects on influencing Chinese purchase decision of imported products from Thailand due to their p-values are all less than .05.

In this study, countries (Australia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, China, Chile, Colombia, Denmark, Egypt, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Italy, Japan, Kazakhstan, Luxembourg, Mexico, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Norway, Pakistan, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, Turiye, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Uzbekistan) were clustered based on their energy consumption for the years 2000 and 2021. In line with the objectives of the study, data on nuclear energy, coal consumption, oil consumption, natural gas consumption, hydropower consumption, and renewable energy consumption were used to represent energy consumption.
The clustering analysis revealed differences between countries in the clusters formed between 2000 and 2021. The transition of countries such as Iran, the Netherlands, Mexico, and Luxembourg from Cluster 1 in 2000 to Cluster 2 in 2021 illustrates the complexity of changes in energy consumption patterns. Factors underlying these changes include changes in energy policies, economic conditions, international relations, and technological advances. Similarly, the transition of countries such as Canada, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom from Cluster 2 in 2000 to Cluster 1 in 2021 can be attributed to various factors such as changes in energy policies, economic growth or stagnation, technological progress, shifts in international trade relations, and environmental considerations.

Using the systematic literature review, this study investigates the emotional relationships between coaches and athletes in soccer and their impact on achievement motivation. Data were obtained from articles searched through Google Scholar. The search focused on the following keywords: "Emotional Relationship AND Coach AND Athlete AND Soccer AND Achievement Motivation". During the search, inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied. For example, the selected articles must be published in Scopus-indexed journals between 2019 and 2024. With these criteria, 17,300 articles were found. They were screened again in several stages, and 16 articles that fit the theme and met the inclusion requirements were chosen. During the article selection, this study followed the PRISMA guidelines, generating several key findings. The first finding of this study confirmed that emotional relationships between coaches and athletes in soccer are important in influencing motivation. A positive relationship, characterized by trust, emotional support, and effective communication, creates a conducive environment for athletes to develop intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, which ultimately impacts their performance on the field. Another finding revealed that a coach's emotional intelligence is a crucial factor in building such relationships, as the coach's ability to understand and respond to athletes' emotional needs can increase athletes' self-efficacy and intrinsic motivation, which in turn strengthens performance. Effective communication was also identified as a key element that enables coaches to provide constructive feedback and establish open channels of communication, thereby creating a climate that supports the development of athletes' achievement motivation.

Published: November 2024

Las regatas de traineras comenzaron a disputarse a mediados del siglo XIX y han evolucionado hasta convertirse en un deporte federado con un notable número de licencias. No existen revisiones de la literatura que abarquen toda la bibliografía sobre este deporte, por lo que es importante conocer si hay publicaciones que ayuden a los profesores a divulgarlo entre sus alumnos. El objetivo de este trabajo es realizar una revisión sistemática exploratoria para mostrar qué se ha estudiado hasta el momento sobre las regatas de traineras, con especial énfasis en la producción educativa. Se realizaron búsquedas en Scopus, Web of Science, SPORTDiscus, Google Académico, Dialnet Plus y la BNE. Dos revisores, de forma independiente, aplicaron criterios de inclusión y exclusión, seleccionando trabajos exclusivamente sobre traineras publicados, obteniendo finalmente 84 estudios. Los datos se almacenaron en Wikidata, lo que facilitó la presentación y análisis de los resultados. Estos muestran un aumento en la cantidad de publicaciones, con varios autores, mayoritariamente hombres, que escriben en varios idiomas, especialmente en los últimos años, y con una fuerte presencia de universidades del País Vasco. Solo existen cuatro trabajos educativos sobre cómo enseñar este deporte en el aula, siendo el más reciente de 2011. Se recomienda desarrollar más estudios educativos sobre el remo en traineras, especialmente en Galicia, Asturias y Cantabria, que cuentan con menos publicaciones que el País Vasco.

La educación universitaria representa una etapa importante en el desarrollo personal y académico de los estudiantes. Durante este período, los jóvenes enfrentan desafíos que pueden afectar diferentes aspectos de su vida, como la autoestima, la imagen corporal y los hábitos alimentarios. La presente investigación tuvo como objetivo determinar si existe relación entre la autoestima, insatisfacción corporal y alimentación emocional en una muestra de estudiantes universitarios peruanos. Se realizó un estudio cuantitativo, no experimental, correlacional y transversal. La muestra estuvo conformada por 297 estudiantes seleccionados mediante un muestreo probabilístico a quienes se les administró la Escala de Autoestima de Rosenberg, el Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ- 14) y el Cuestionario sobre Alimentación Emocional, instrumentos con adecuadas propiedades psicométricas. Los hallazgos preliminares revelaron que los estudiantes presentaban un nivel moderado de autoestima y no experimentaban insatisfacción corporal; sin embargo, el nivel de alimentación emocional reportado era alto. Además, se encontró que la autoestima se correlaciona de manera inversa y significativa con la insatisfacción corporal (rs = -0.434, p < 0.01) y la alimentación emocional (rs = -0.337, p < 0.01). De igual manera, se observó una correlación directa y significativa entre la insatisfacción corporal y la alimentación emocional (rs = 0.646, p < 0.01). Se concluyó que existe relación entre la autoestima, insatisfacción corporal y alimentación emocional en una muestra de estudiantes universitarios peruanos. Por lo tanto, se recomienda que las universidades implementen programas de intervención centrados en la educación emocional, que promuevan el desarrollo de la autoestima y una imagen corporal positiva.

Makalah in merekodkan dasar-dasar yang dilaksanakan oleh Lembaga Industri Getah Sabah (LIGS) Unit Tapak Semaian (UTS) Sungai Damit Tuaran, Sabah dari tahun 2006 sehingga 2016. Bagi melengkapkan maklumat penulisan ini, pengkaji menggunakan kaedah perpustakaan dan kaedah lisan. Dasar-dasar yang telah dilaksanakan merangkumi dasar mewujudkan punca pendapatan yang tetap dan mapan, dasar keselamatan dan kesihatan pekerja, dan dasar meningkatkan sistem penyampaian. Kewujudan dasar-dasar ini banyak menarik penduduk tempatan untuk menceburkan diri dalam industri getah. Penglibatan penduduk tempatan sebagai pekebun kecil secara langsung telah merubah corak ekonomi getah di Tuaran yang menjadikan getah sebagai ekonomi utama Tuaran. Perkara ini telah membuka peluang pekerjaan dalam bidang pertanian yang menyumbang kepada penambahan infrastruktur dan kenaikan gaji pekerja. Sekaligus, pelaksanaan program-program bagi mengurangkan risiko kesihatan dan keselamatan terhadap pekerja juga penting untuk menjaga kebajikan pekerja. LIGS haruslah meningkatkan komunikasi yang lebih efektif dalam UTS seperti sesama pekerja, mahupun di luar UTS seperti pembeli getah luar. Kajian ini diharapkan dapat dijadikan rujukan bagi kajian masa hadapan terutama sekali dalam mengkaji peranan dan cabaran LIGS di kawasan lain.

This study assess the effect of audit report quality on financial performance of deposit money banks in Nigeria. The study specifically examined audit fee, audit committee size and timelines of audit report to determine the effect of audit quality on financial performance of deposit money banks in Nigeria from the period of 2012 to 2021. The study examined six deposit money banks for the period under study. The study used purposive sampling method to select six banks based on access to their financial report, consistency and readiness of the reports. The study used a pooled data technique to establish the nexus between the variables and financial performance. econometric approaches such as Augmented Dickey Fuller test, Unit Root test, Johansen, Cointegraation and Error Correction Model (ECM) to check for autocorrelation were adopted in the analysis. Multiple regressions were employed to establish the relationship between the dependent and independent variables. Descriptive method of analysis was also adopted to understand the trends of variables; correlation matrix was employed to identify the relationship between the independent variables while granger causality was used to identify the direction of influence of the variables. Findings of the study show that audit fee and audit committee size have negative and insignificant effect on return on asset of deposit money bank in Nigeria, however, timeliness of audit report has a positive effect on return on asset. The study therefore concludes that investors consider all relevant information about firm performance. Smaller audit size will cost less remuneration. The study recommends that audit committee size be kept as minimum, as possible. Deposit money banks should ensure auditors are remunerated in tune with the quality of their work. Audit reports should be timely presented to stakeholders.

This study examines the intersection of co-operative well-being and employee resilience, addressing a notable gap in the existing literature concerning how cooperative models influence employee outcomes. The purpose of this research is to investigate the mechanisms by which co-operative structures foster resilience among employees while supporting overall well-being. A thorough literature review highlights that co-operative organizations emphasize democratic participation and collaborative practices, which can substantially improve employee engagement and job satisfaction. Previous research suggests that such environments contribute to stronger resilience, enabling employees to manage workplace challenges more effectively. The primary findings indicate that co-operatives not only support employee well-being through inclusive practices but also cultivate resilience by fostering a strong sense of community and shared purpose. Furthermore, the study identifies a lack of integrated strategies that utilize technology and policy frameworks to further strengthen these outcomes. The implications of this research indicate that increased collaboration between technology developers, policymakers, and social entrepreneurs is vital for developing innovative approaches that enhance co-operative well-being and resilience. By addressing these gaps, future initiatives may improve the sustainability of co-operative enterprises while fostering healthier workplaces and more resilient employees, ultimately benefiting both communities and the broader economy.
