Fuite et rémanence du toucher : le « prendre soin » entre amertume et réassurance dans J’ai saigné de Blaise Cendrars (1938) et Johnny Got His Gun de Dalton Trumbo (1939)
Authors: Galinat Élodie
Published: November 2022

La main est multiple. Elle demeure l’organe de la prise de contact, de l’interaction, de l’effervescence relationnelle et même sacrificielle. En effet, en touchant l’autre, chaque être humain prend le risque de se soumettre à la vulnérabilité. La main possède alors une hégémonie sur le reste du corps car elle permet l’émergence de l’être, sa venue au monde indéniable et entière.Aussi, dans sa nouvelle autobiographique J’ai saigné parue en 1938, Blaise Cendrars choisit de mettre en exergue, à la manière d’un personnage, sa propre main qui disparaît à travers l’annihilation franche et immédiate par un obus à la guerre en 1915. De même, dans Johnny Got His Gun, le roman de Dalton Trumbo publié en 1939, nous prenons connaissance du néant laissé par la guerre, métaphorisé en un homme tronc, sans plus de jambes ni de bras, jeune soldat infortuné en proie à autrui de par sa dépendance totale. À travers ces deux œuvres, il est question du sens du toucher, tantôt absent tantôt présent, ce dernier occupant une place prépondérante nécessaire à la résilience dont les personnages à l’examen feront l’objet, comme une extension envisageable du prendre soin.
La médiation comme méthode de consultation en éthique clinique : une démarche de soin
Authors: Doucet Hubert , Dion-Labrie Marianne
Published: November 2022

Les conflits que vivent les soignants et les patients mettent à mal la qualité du prendre soin. La consultation d’éthique clinique vise à résoudre ces situations. La réussite du prendre soin est liée à la capacité de délibération des divers acteurs. Le premier point présente différents modèles de consultation. Par la suite, l’analyse porte sur la médiation comme méthode de consultation en éthique clinique : exigences de son fonctionnement et défis. De là, l’examen de la méthode fait voir en quoi celle-ci exprime le prendre soin de la manière la plus authentique. La démarche constitue un instrument pédagogique majeur en contexte contemporain où se multiplient les intervenants aux compétences et aux valeurs diverses. Pour reprendre le langage de Max Weber, elle privilégie une éthique de la responsabilité plutôt que de la conviction.

Authors: Rafiq Nosheen , Shah Syed Haider Ali , Aziz Shahab , Sultana Afshan , Khan Shams Ul Haq , Din Zahir Ud , Sheikh Muhammad Zeeshan Ahmed , Kiani Ozair Ijaz
Published: November 2022

The chapter is about the role of frugal innovation and social sustainability in emerging nations and how it facilities the lives of people in developing countries. The development of any state depends upon the level of advanced technology, but all states are not in sound enough condition to use expensive technology to enhance quality of life. Therefore, such economies go towards the idea of frugal innovation where it offers ‘low price' solutions that provide quality products and improves standard of living. This chapter focuses on how frugal innovation can provide latest technologies to people with limited resources. This chapter suggests the need of scientists and researchers and their leading role in order to enhance frugal innovation.
Frugal Innovations of HRM Practices in SMEs
Authors: Fazal Samreen
Published: November 2022

HRM is a significant element of management that positively shapes the performance of SMEs. A plethora of literature studying HRM innovative practices deals with the impact of innovative HR practices encompassing workplace, behavioral, technological, and innovative leadership roles on the firms` efficient and innovative performance. These studies exhibit a substantial and positive influence of the innovative HR practices on the innovative performance driving innovation in firms particularly in SMEs. However, hitherto no prominent effort has been done predominantly in Pakistan to review and synchronize the extant knowledge in a composed manner. Therefore, the proposed chapter aims to consolidate, compile, and review the current literature associated with the innovative trends of HR practices in SMEs. In addition, it also seeks to offer a comprehensive HRM model to promote innovations in HRM practices. To sum up, this chapter will significantly contribute to the existing body knowledge based on HRM innovative practices in SMEs.
Young Leadership Skills Required in the Frugal Innovation Process and Its Developments
Authors: Ahmed Shah Imran , Mohammad Farooq Shah , Ahmed Shakeel , Qureshi Muhammad Asif
Published: November 2022

Leadership measures the ability to accomplish the set goal(s) due to the act of inspiring and motivating a group of your peers. Former United States president Dwight D. Eisenhower stated famously that “Leadership consists of nothing but taking responsibility for everything that goes wrong and giving your subordinates credit for everything that goes well.” The Army's definition of leadership is “the process of influencing people by providing purpose, direction, and motivation while operating to accomplish the mission and improving the organization.”
Ethics and Equity
Authors: Martinez Julia
Published: November 2022

The idea of a committee like the Institutional Review Board (IRB), whose aim is to safeguard ethical research, sounds complementary to current principles of equity. However, many researchers and academics view these boards with animosity and distrust. Thus, the Chair of the IRB is well-suited to act as a servant-leader who addresses the needs of different stakeholders while creating awareness and communication between them all. Nevertheless, servant-leadership in ethics, particularly in an increasingly equity-minded culture, can carry some conflicts and paradoxes. This may be particularly salient for those from underrepresented backgrounds. The current case presents the experience of an IRB chair and woman of color from a socioeconomically disadvantaged background. Four organizational conflicts are observed: Mission, Efficiency, Equity, and Management. Solutions and recommendations are offered for each of these. The case closes with reflections on the person of color (POC) as a servant-leader.
Future Challenges of Marketing Online-to-Offline (O2O)
Authors: Rosário Albérico Travassos
Published: November 2022

The online and offline environment have come to coexist in the business environment, so the big question is to understand how we should integrate these two environments into marketing strategies. It is clear that online marketing strategies do not need to replace offline marketing strategies and vice versa. The big challenge will be how both will remain complementary to solving each other's shortcomings in view of a marketing strategy. It becomes evident that the techniques complement each other, forming a more robust and complete marketing strategy, bringing more attention to the brand, and increasing the visibility of the company. Therefore, the online-to-offline (O2O) and customer-centric approach will be able to build a stronger reputation, which will generate customer loyalty. In this context, a systematic review of the bibliometric literature on the basis of SCOPUS indexation was carried out. This study aims to understand what are the future designs of O2O Marketing and how they will coexist in a marketing strategy.
Multimodal Transport and the Integration of Transport Modes to Support Disaster Relief Operations
Authors: Nazir Sajid , Yu Zhang , Raza Khawaja Masood
Published: November 2022

Over the last few years, with the rise of natural/man-made disasters, the importance of the humanitarian supply chain has also received a significant value. Humanitarian supply chain performs under special circumstances compared to commercial supply chain such as lack of communication system, electricity, and destabilized transport infrastructure after a disaster. However, disasters are unpredictable; therefore, the demand for supplies (relief items), casualties, and required transportation modes to access the affected area are also unpredictable. Thus, the integration of different modes of transportation is essential to encounter any disaster situation promptly, such as disasters in South Asia in 2001, which caused the death of thousands due to lack of transport infrastructure, inadequate disaster relief planning, and lack of transport integration.

Authors: Penner-Williams Janet , Lopez Trish A. , McKeever Chrystal , de Cortina Rebecca Carpenter
Published: November 2022

Family engagement in schools is important for the success of all students, but especially critical with parents of culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) students. Building-level administrators and teachers are in a unique position to serve as the agents to create positive, strong relationships with families. This chapter presents a qualitative case study of an exceptionally diverse elementary school located in an area with an increasing CLD population. Through multifaceted interviews, focus groups, and observations, four overarching themes emerged: (1) creating a positive, supportive, welcoming environment to support families and cultures; (2) building relationships and purposeful communication as core values; (3) teacher training, roles, responsibilities, and support; and (4) the importance and impact of community partner relationships. These themes along with their implications for school practices that promote effective school-family-community relations and connections to extant literature are discussed.
The Dynamics of Parent-Teacher Relationships in the Socio-Emotional Development of Young Children
Authors: Bipath Keshni , Oosthuizen Corne
Published: November 2022

This qualitative study explored the importance of positive interactions between parents and teachers towards the socio-emotional development of the young child. The purpose of this study was to understand the dynamics of the parent-teacher relationship in the young child's (3-4 years old) socio-emotional development and hence stimulate the need for intentional parent-teacher meetings and positive relationship building. Eight parents and eight teachers were observed, and a semi-structured interview was conducted with each of them relating to their relationship and the socio-emotional development of the young child. The children were merely observed to understand and analyse their socio-emotional behaviour in relation to the required age-appropriate developmental milestones. The study illuminated good parent-teacher relationships to ensure the optimal socio-emotional development of young children, effective planning, and communication in ensuring a good parent-teacher relationship and the importance of a “Parent-Teacher Relationship Building” module in the teacher education programme.
How Children Fail
Authors: Hotez Emily
Published: November 2022

In recent years, there has been widespread interest across both the research and public sectors in understanding how to promote children's lifelong success in a range of domains. While a focus on promoting success in children remains salient, equally salient in the research is how children fail—specifically, how children prevail in the face of failure, adversity, and other challenges over time. The chapter explores parenting and family factors that predict grit. This chapter investigates a range of parenting and family factors, including demographic characteristics, parenting behaviors and styles, and family cultural and environmental factors. Based on this research, the chapter provides overarching recommendations to researchers seeking to understand grit in a family context.

Published: November 2022

Family cultural capital can be defined as a series of family cultural elements that are mainly held and transmitted by parents, that can contribute to children development. Many studies reveal that the family cultural capital of the migrant works is insufficient, which exerts negative effects on the development of their children. The study focuses on exploring the relationship between parental involvement and family cultural capital. The authors selected Taoyuan migrant as a case which has conducted home-school collaboration reform for more than three years, using the methods of interview, questionnaire, and observation to get two mains findings: (1) The model of parental involvement experienced a change process from self-elimination to active-participation, in which the school played a major role. (2) When parents adopt the model of active-participation, family cultural capital changes in three main forms of activation, increasing and transformation.
Spatial access to public hospitals during COVID-19 in Nottinghamshire, UK
Authors: Zhang Jishuo , Li Meifang
Published: November 2022

We intend to tackle two under-addressed issues in access to healthcare services during the COVID-19 pandemic: first, the spatiotemporal dynamic of access during the pandemic of acute communicable disease; second, the demographic and socioeconomic access disparities. We used the two-step floating catchment area (2SFCA) method to measure the spatial access to public hospitals during the second COVID-19 wave (September 28th-February 28th, 2021) in Nottinghamshire, UK. To investigate the temporal variation in access along with the development of the pandemic, we divided our study period into 11 sections and applied the 2SFCA to each of them. The results indicate that western Nottinghamshire is better than the eastern part from a spatial perspective and the north-western urban area represents the highest spatial access; temporally, the accessibility of the public hospitals generally decreased when the number of cases increased. Particular low accessibility was observed at the beginning of the pandemic when the outbreak hit the university region and its vicinities during the back-to-school season. Our disparity analysis found that i) the access of the senior population to public hospitals deviated from that of the general population, ii) the access was positively associated with socioeconomic status, and iii) all disparities were related to the urban-rural discrepancy. These findings can help to plan temporary clinics or hospitals during epidemic emergencies. More generally, they provide scientific support to pandemic-related healthcare resource allocation and policy- making, particularly for people in vulnerable areas.
Spatio-temporal analysis of leptospirosis in Brazil and its relationship with flooding
Authors: Nardoni Marteli Alice , Guasselli Laurindo Antonio , Diament Décio , Wink Gabriele Ozório , Vasconcelos Vitor Vieira
Published: November 2022

Leptospirosis is a serious public health problem in Brazil, which can be observed after flooding events. Using an exploratory mixed clustering method, this ecological study analyzes whether spatial-temporal clustering patterns of leptospirosis occur in Brazil. Data from the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS) were used to calculate the prevalence of leptospirosis between 2007 and 2017 in all counties of the country. Clustering techniques, including spatial association indicators, were used for analysis and evaluation of disease yearly spatial distribution. Based on Local Indicators of Spatial Association (LISA) with Empirical Bayesian rates detected spatial patterns of leptospirosis ranging from 0.137 (p = 0.001 in 2009) to 0.293 (p = 0.001 in 2008). Over the whole period, the rate was 0.388 (p = 0.001). The main pattern showed permanence of leptospirosis clusters in the South and emergence and permanence of such clusters in northern Brazil. The municipalities with leptospirosis cases and at least one flood occurrence registered in the Brazilian Integrated Disaster Information System were incorporated into the LISA cluster map with Empirical Bayesian rates. These counties were expected to exhibit clustering, not all did. The results of the cluster analysis suggest allocation of health resources in areas with leptospirosis clustering.
The effectiveness of the restricted policy on specific venues in Hong Kong: A spatial point pattern view
Authors: Liu Yijia , Shi Wenzhong , Zhang Anshu , Zhu Xiaosheng
Published: November 2022

After the fifth wave of the COVID-19 outbreak in May 2022, the Hong Kong government decided to ease the restrictions policy step by step. The main change was to re-open some venues that people like to visit and extend the hours of operation. With the implementation of the relaxed policy, however, the number of confirmed cases rose again. As a result, further relaxation was delayed. As an evaluation of the effectiveness of the restrictions policy could be a reference for future policies balancing viral spread and functionality of society, this paper aimed to respond to this question from the spatial point distribution view. The time, from late March 2020 to February 2021, during which the related policies took place was divided into six periods based on the policy trend (tightening or relaxing). The two-variable Ripley’s Kfunction was applied for each period to explore the spatial dependence between confirmed cases and venues as changes in the spatial pattern can reveal the effect of the policy. The results show that, as time passed, the clustering degree decreased and reached its lowest level from August to mid-November 2020, then significantly increased, with the extent of clustering becoming more remarkable and the significant cluster size widening. Our results indicate that the policy had a positive effect on suppressing the spread of the virus in mid-July 2020. Then, with the virus infiltrating the community, the policy had little impact on containing the virus but likely contributed to avoid further infection.

Published: November 2022

One of the most common interstitial lung diseases in antisynthetase syndrome is nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP). A 49-year-old woman presented with slow progression exertional dyspnea, myalgia, and arthralgia. The radiological findings indicated an NSIP pattern. Autoantibodies were found to be positive, but no lung biopsy was performed. Even though corticosteroid therapy significantly improved the patient's dyspnea, the patient developed mechanic's hands, the anti-synthetase antibody (PL12) became positive, and creatine phosphokinase (CPK) levels increased. As a result, the antisynthetase syndrome was established. The patient follow-up after three years revealed an improvement in symptoms under corticosteroid therapy.
Plasmodium vivax Malaria Associated with Severe Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia
Authors: Nishith Goranti , Sharma Vivek , Sharan Rajiv
Published: November 2022

Background:

Severe and/or persistent anemia due to autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) secondary to vivax malaria is a rare association. Very few cases are reported worldwide, and even less from India. AIHA occurs when immunoglobulins and/or complements target red blood cell surface antigens resulting in hemolysis. Awareness of this complication helps in early recognition, investigation, and prompt initiation of treatment.

Clinical Description:

A 15-year-old boy presented with a history of high fever associated with chills for 2 days. Examination revealed the presence of severe pallor and icterus. Systemic examination was unremarkable. Investigations showed anemia (Hb: 3.6 g/dl) with reticulocytosis (6.6%), malaria (trophozoites of Plasmodium vivax and antigen test positive), and indirect evidence of hemolysis (indirect hyperbilirubinemia and elevated lactate dehydrogenase of 668 U/l).

Management and Outcome:

Treatment was started with intravenous artesunate and packed cells transfusion was planned. Cross-matching showed autoantibodies which raised suspicion of AIHA. Coomb's test was positive. Least incompatible packed red blood cells were transfused. A repeat peripheral smear was negative for malaria. Posttransfusion, the Hb levels rose to 8.3 g/dl before falling to 5.3 g/dl over the next 2 days. The direct antiglobulin test was positive. High doses of oral prednisolone resulted in progressive improvement in Hb levels to 8 g/dl within a week. He was discharged on oral prednisolone with daily oral folic acid supplements. The steroids were tapered when Hb reached 10.6 g/dl and continued for 3 months.

Conclusion:

If a patient with malaria (falciparum or vivax) exhibits persistent severe anemia, indirect evidence of hemolysis is found on investigations and/or autoantibodies identified on cross-matching, AIHA should be suspected and investigated accordingly.
Aggressive Systemic Mastocytosis with a Relatively Non-aggressive Course
Authors: Madaan Aishwarya , Yadav Vidya , Kataria Sumit , Mendiratta Vibhu , Shukla Shailaja , Jyotsna P L , Mukherjee Sharmila B.
Published: November 2022

Background:

Mastocytosis is a heterogeneous group of disorders that is characterized by excessive proliferation and pathologic accumulation of mast cells in various body tissues. The mast cells also have abnormal morphology and aberrant expression of surface receptors.

Clinical Description:

A 4-year-old boy was brought with a history of generalized skin lesions since birth and abdominal distension for 3 years. The diagnosis had not been established to date. General physical examination revealed severe acute malnutrition, pallor, dental staining, facial hypertrichosis, polymorphous skin lesions (cicatricial alopecia, diffuse erythema, multiple plaques of variable diameter, skin-colored nodules, and hypertrophic irregular scars), and positive Darier's sign. He also had hepatosplenomegaly. The differentials considered were congenital erythropoietic porphyria, systemic mastocytosis (SM), multifocal Langerhans cell histiocytosis, and linear immunoglobulin A bullous dermatosis. The presence of mast cells on skin biopsy and elevated serum tryptase levels led us to suspect SM and perform bone marrow studies. The diagnosis of “aggressive” SM was initially made on the application of the diagnostic criteria but revised to “smoldering” SM with the emergence of Vitamin B12 deficiency as the probable cause of pancytopenia.

Management:

Management was planned by a multidisciplinary team: pediatrician, dermatologist, and hematopathologist. The parents were counseled about the nature, natural history, treatment options, and prognosis of the disorder. The child was provided with nutritional rehabilitation and medication for the cutaneous symptoms (selective histamine H1 receptor inverse agonist, H2-receptor antagonist, and application of topical tacrolimus and calamine lotion).

Conclusion:

The prognosis varies according to subtype. Careful correlation of clinical and laboratory investigations is required when applying the diagnostic criteria for staging.
Knowledge of Community-Based Health Insurance and Associated Factors Among Artisans in a Selected Community of Ekiti State
Authors: Elegbede O. E. , Durowade Kabir Adekunle , Sanni Taofeek Adedayo , Ipinnimo Tope Michael , Alabi Ayo Kamal
Published: November 2022

Background:

The Community-Based Health Insurance Scheme (CBHIS) (National Health Insurance Scheme [NHIS]) pools the risk of high costs of health care across a large number of individuals, and it permits payment of a premium based on the average cost of health care for the group of people. This function of spreading risk in NHIS helps in making the cost of health-care services affordable for many individuals. Aim: This study which is aimed at assessing the knowledge of Community-Based Health Insurance (CBHIS) among artisans in Ekiti State will help in identifying and implementing strategies to widen health insurance services to this group of nonformal sector.

Materials and Methods:

A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 416 respondents using a systematic random sampling technique among the skilled occupational group vis-a-vis bricklayers, carpenters, electricians, hair stylist, and tailors. Data were collated using an interviewer-administered semi-structured questionnaire and analysed using IBM SPSS version 23. Chi-square and binary logistic regression were used to assess the association between dependent and independent variables. P < 0.05 was taken as statistically significant.

Results:

The study participant mean age was 29.7 ± 10.9 years, majority were females (57.5%), and 46.9% had tertiary education. 53.1% were aware of health insurance, but only 24% were aware of CBHIS. Just about a fifth of the respondents (18.3%) had good knowledge of CBHIS. Significant factors and predictors of knowledge of CBHIS in this study include female gender, tertiary level of education, higher family income, and higher frequency of illness.

Conclusion:

The awareness and knowledge of CBHIS among artisans in Ekiti State is still very low. Factors associated with the low knowledge include gender, level of education, frequency of illness, and family income. Therefore, efforts at improving awareness and educating members of the public about the scheme will be beneficial.

Background:

Child labour deprives children of their childhood, their potential, and their dignity and is harmful to their physical and mental development.

Aim:

The aim of this study was to determine the pattern and adverse effects associated with child labour in Enugu, Nigeria.

Patients, Materials and Methods:

This was a cross-sectional study using an in-depth interviewer-administered questionnaire guide on child labour and adverse effects among children aged 6 to <18 years.

Results:

The most common labour was hawking (39.2%) and shopkeeping (22.8%). Majority of the children work to support their families. Adverse conditions experienced by the participants include prolonged work hours (100%), assault (15.8%), hunger (15.2%), sexual abuse (14.6%), and accidents (9.9%). Children aged 6–12 years were at a higher risk of sexual abuse (P = 0.005, odds ratio = 2.463, 95% confidence interval = 1.311–4.630).

Conclusion:

Children in Enugu are still involved in the various forms of child labour which have detrimental effects on their well-being.

Authors: Okwuosa Chukwubuzor Udokwu , Nwoga Mark Chukwuemeka , Adisa Akinyele O
Published: November 2022

Background:

There are very few reports of the clinicopathological features of ossifying fibroma (OF) of the jaws in Enugu, South-east Nigeria.

Aims:

To study the prevalence and clinicopathological features of OF in Enugu.

Patients, Materials and Methods:

An eight-year retrospective study of patients with OF of the jaws was carried out in a tertiary hospital in Enugu, Nigeria. The clinical records, radiographs, histopathology reports, and slides of 87 patients with fibrous lesions, archived in the department of oral pathology and oral medicine were identified and examined. The cases diagnosed with OF by histological examination were retrieved and studied. The data were analysed using the descriptive statistics and presented in the form of frequency tables. The test for a statistical association was carried out using the Chi-square statistics.

Results:

There were 644 orofacial lesions and 13.5% (87) of these were fibro-osseous tumours. OF constituted 8.9% (57) of the orofacial lesions and 65.5% (57) of fibro-osseous tumors. The male-to-female ratio was 1:1.7. The overall mean age at tumour-onset was 24.1 ± 13.1 years, (range: 5–60 years). The age group at which OF occurred most frequently (43.9%) was 11–20 years. The mandible was the most common site of occurrence, 64.9% (37), while the radiographic features were well-circumscribed opacity 24.6% (14), and mixed lucency–opacity, 22.8% (13). Conventional 54 (94.7%) and juvenile-psammamatoid 3 (5.3%) subtypes were identified.

Conclusion:

OF is the most prevalent fibro-osseous lesion, occurred mostly in the second decade and exhibits a lower mean age of onset in male patients.
Historical Grammatical Analysis of Exodus 33:1-6 as a response to Contemporary Interpretations of Ornaments
Authors: Opade Ochenia Faith
Published: November 2022

Exodus 33:1-6 stands as one of the Old Testament texts that have been used by some scholars and believers as a biblical basis to prohibit the use of ornaments and other fashion-related discourse. It has been argued tenaciously that ornaments are unbiblical, sinful and devilish with special emphasis on certain experiences from the patriarchal period of the Old Testament. Certain believers who are not using some of these ornaments like earrings, necklaces, rings or bracelets etc. see themselves as more holy and godly than those who do use them. The correct biblical position about ornaments has puzzled humanity for ages. However, the context, culture, antecedents and language used in the biblical narratives have not been carefully studied from the socio-linguistic perspective. Therefore, this work investigated the basic understanding of and
rationale for ornaments. It also examined Christian attitudes to ornaments in the contemporary era, and draw implications for Christians and preachers alike. This study employed an exegetical method of biblical interpretation that utilizes discourse analysis also known as text-linguistic approach in order to bring out the nearest meaning to the author’s autograph of the pericope. The study revealed that the declaration of Yahweh to the Israelite to put off their ornament was not a complete prohibition to the use of ornaments. The instruction was situational or circumstantial and should be taken as such. Therefore, against existing beliefs that ornaments are demonic and sinful, the study revealed that, this is indeed a fallacy.

Authors: Kgosiemang Tshireletso Philemon , Khoza Samuel Dumazi
Published: November 2022

The purpose of the study was to examine the effects of emotional intelligence (EI) on teachers’ performance in Southeast Region primary schools in Botswana. The research methodology applied was mixed methods. The target group consisted of 300 teachers from 16 primary schools in Botswana's Southeast Region. The participants were chosen using a simple random sampling procedure. Seventy (70) out of 300 teachers comprising both males and females with years of work experience ranging from less than 2 to more than 10 were used as the sample in the study.  The 9-layered model of the EI pyramid was used as the theoretical framework for the study. The pragmatism paradigm was used to blend qualitative and quantitative research approaches to arrive at trustworthy conclusions about the effects of EI on teacher performance in primary schools in Botswana's Southeast Region. The findings of the study revealed that primary school teachers in the Southeast Region of Botswana require EI skills to enhance their performance, improve their attitudes towards their instructional practices, and apply appropriate ways of assisting and encouraging struggling learners and colleagues. The findings also indicated a link between teachers' EI and academic performance.
Indicador de confianza empresarial en el sector construcción en México a través de un sistema de inferencia difuso
Authors: Ortigosa Hernández Mauricio
Published: November 2022

En México el Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía (INEGI) publica mensualmente un indicador de confianza empresarial (ICE) en varios sectores económicos utilizando la Encuesta Mensual de Opinión Empresarial (EMOE). En este trabajo se hace referencia sólo al sector de la construcción por ser de los más sensibles para el crecimiento de la economía en México. La información oficial que emite el INEGI sobre el ICE para dicho sector es el resultado de la media aritmética simple de cinco indicadores de carácter cualitativo ya proyectados y ponderados. Al aplicar la media aritmética al final del proceso para obtener un indicador de tal importancia, da lugar al debate clásico de aplicar dicha estadística descriptiva en variables cualitativas medidas en preguntas tipo Likert. Para superar dicho problema, se propone llevar las etiquetas utilizadas en las opciones de respuesta de las preguntas utilizadas en el cuestionario EMOE, a variables lingüísticas donde, a través de la metodología de los sistemas de inferencia difuso, se obtiene como resultado un Indicador de Confianza Empresarial Difuso (ICED). Para validar el sistema propuesto, se calcularon desde enero del 2012 hasta febrero del 2021 los nuevos índices de confianza difusos y se compararon con las cifras oficiales emitidas por el INEGI, obteniendo resultados similares, con la ventaja de que los indicadores derivados por el sistema resultaron ser más altos o más bajos en general. Lo que permite este camino es ser más sensible ante cambios de opinión entre empresarios, evitando centralizar las opiniones al utilizar la media aritmética simple.
Determinantes de la calidad del gobierno corporativo de los bancos hondureños
Authors: Sorto Murillo Telma Osiris
Published: November 2022

El propósito de este estudio es determinar un sistema de indicadores para evaluar la calidad del gobierno corporativo de los bancos hondureños. Para ello, se profundizó en la importancia atribuida por supervisores y supervisados a las dimensiones e indicadores de Gobierno Corporativo (GC) propuestos. Asimismo, se identificaron las diferencias existentes entre ambos grupos para crear un índice de calidad del GC con los indicadores que obtuvieron una media global superior a 3.5 en la escala de Likert de 1-5 y el peso ponderado de las dimensiones. El enfoque de esta investigación es cuantitativo, con alcance correlacional y diseño no experimental, de corte transversal. Se aplicó una encuesta a funcionarios bancarios y supervisores de bancos, cuya escala posee fiabilidad (Alpha de Cronbach 0.961) y las pruebas de normalidad reflejan puntuaciones aceptables (modelo de dos pasos). Los resultados indican que la dimensión de mayor importancia es “relaciones con los accionistas” con un peso ponderado de 20.73%, seguida de “efectividad de la junta directiva” (20.44%), “relaciones con los grupos de interés” (20.42%), “función de auditoría interna…” (20.32%) y “remuneraciones y beneficios (18.09%). Asimismo, el 14% de los 70 indicadores obtuvieron puntuaciones globales medias superiores a 3.5, los cuales pueden eliminarse o analizarse en mayor profundidad con un panel de expertos. También, la prueba t de Student reveló diferencias significativas en el criterio de supervisados y supervisores en cuatro de cinco dimensiones de GC, aceptándose la hipótesis del investigador, lo que puede estar relacionado con el rol de los encuestados.

Published: November 2022

Toplumsal yaşam biçimlerinde gerçekleşmiş olan değişikliklerin, doğa ile insan arasındaki bağ üzerinde de etkili olduğu bilinmektedir. Farklı tarihsel dönemlerde dünya üzerinde farklı coğrafyalarda yaşamış olan uygarlıkların gerçekleştirdikleri pek çok faaliyette doğal unsurlara göre yaşam planlaması yapıldığı görülmektedir. Kamuoyunu bilgilendirme, farkındalık yaratma ve davranış değişikliğine yönlendirme konularında filmlerin etkisi olduğu bilinmektedir. Yaşam biçimlerinde kaydedilenlerle paralel olarak ortaya çıkan çevresel tahribatlar ve doğal değerlerin öneminin vurgulanması, filmlerde ve animasyonlarda daha fazla yer verilen konular arasında yer almaya başlamış gibi görünmektedir. Bu çalışmada Moana animasyon filmi ekoeleştiri kuramı çerçevesinde betimsel içerik analizi yöntemiyle incelenmesi planlanmıştır.

This study aims to analyze AIS, leadership competency, and internal control system’s influence on performance with the quality of financial statements as an intervening variable. The research target is savings and loan cooperatives in the Banyumas Residency area (Banyumas, Purbalingga, Cilacap, and Banjarnegara). The samples were 110 savings and loan cooperatives. The data collection method was filling out questionnaires. Respondents in this study were leaders/managers from each saving and loan cooperative. The data analysis technique used is SEM PLS, including the outer model and inner model steps. The results of this study indicate that the use of AIS, leadership competency, and internal control system have a positive and significant effect on report quality. Then the internal control system and the quality of the financial statement have a positive and significant influence on performance. However, the use of AIS has a negative impact on performance and leadership competency does not affect performance. The results of the intervening variable test show that the quality of the financial statement is proven as the mediator, so the use of AIS, leadership competency, and internal control system have a positive and significant effect on performance. This research implies that savings and loan cooperatives can improve performance by maximizing the use of AIS, having competent leaders, optimizing the internal control system function, and improving the quality of financial statements.

This makes investors focus on the company's financial performance in considering investment decisions and corporate social activities. So many investors are interested in investing their capital to increase the company's profitability. High profitability reflects the company's ability to earn high profits for shareholders.

The World Health Organisation has given recommendations about frequency, intensity, type of physical activity, which are necessary seeking to avoid chronical diseases. Recommendations are directed towards increasing a general physical activity in the least active human populations. Worldwide, as many as 23 % of adults are not sufficiently physically active. The lifestyle of 40–60 % of people living in the European Union is largely sedentary, therefore it is necessary to encourage people to change their sedentary lifestyle to a healthier and more active one.

Aim. To analyse factors of physical activity which have an effect on health and quality of life of inactive people.

Methods. To review scientific literature related to human health, quality of sleep, physical activity and to provide insights. A search for sources of literature on the topic under consideration was carried out using the electronic academic research databases of the World Health Organisation, ClinicalKey, PubMed, Google Scholar. Articles in the English language published between 2012 and 2022, which were in line with the research subject, were used for the review. The search was carried out using the key words and world combinations with them (physical activity, health, insomnia, prevention). The total of 26 full text sources on the theme under consideration were included in a systematic review.

Results. Physical activity has an effect on the quality of sleep and through certain physiological mechanisms decreases the risk of insomnia. Levels of physical activity are of importance to health strengthening. Too weak, passive physical activity reduces the quality of sleep and is related to the risk of insomnia.

Conclusions. 1. A continuing stressful situation has a negative effect on the quality of people’s sleep. Physical activity, which does not comply with the WHO recommendations can have a negative impact on psychical, mental health and the quality of sleep. 2. Regular physical activity has a positive impact on mental health, activates neurobiological systems, encourages secretion of hypnogenic substances which improve the quality of people’s sleep.
