Authors:   Delta State University, Okereka Onofere Princewill , Okolie Ugo Chuks ,   Delta State University
Published: April 2024

This study examines the influence of change leadership on employee support for an intentional organizational change in the Delta State Ministry of Education Asaba, Nigeria. The study employed a cross-sectional research methodology and a self-administered Likert-type questionnaire. Data for the study were obtained from employees who were undergoing through significant upheaval. The data collected was evaluated using structural equation model. The study found that essential change leadership qualities including communication and involvement aid in building employee support for change initiatives. The cognitive and behavioral reactions of the employees to the planned change was influenced by change leadership. Employees' cognitive assessments of and emotional reactions to the planned change event served as a mediating factor in the relationship between change leadership and behavioral intentions to support the planned change. When assessing planned organizational transformation efforts, leaders frequently pay more attention to how employees respond to the change than to the causes of those reactions. The significance of addressing employee attitudes as the first step toward desired change activities was emphasized by this study. This study adopted a multidimensional approach to attitudes and examined their hierarchy of impacts in order to more accurately describe the influence of change leadership on employee support for change. The study makes a number of suggestions, one of which is that leaders should boost employee morale prior to initiating change projects in order to increase the likelihood of success. In a world of rapid change and cultivation of adaptable mindsets, change leadership is essential.

Authors:   Government of Malaysia, Federal Government Administrative Centre, Ab Razak Ruziah , Rahman Nur Hairani Abd ,   Universiti Malaya, Kamil Nurul Liyana Mohd ,   Universiti Malaya
Published: April 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic has reshaped the operations of public sectors worldwide, compelling governments to impose nationwide lockdowns. This crisis prompted an immediate shift to Work from Home (WFH) policies for civil servants. Under this policy, work activities predominantly rely on information and communications technology (ICT). While ICTs have a positive impact on the efficiency of public service delivery, the use of technology and the internet has also introduced various adverse effects, such as cyberloafing and destructive behaviors. These negative influences on performance can ultimately impact service delivery. Against this background, this study aims to analyze the influence of cyberloafing on the work performance of civil servants during the WFH policy implementation. The study, for which 272 civil servants from diverse backgrounds were interviewed, reveals that development behavior significantly influences task performance and adaptive performance, while deviant behavior has a notable impact on all dimensions of work performance. These findings contribute to theoretical understanding, offer practical implications, and suggest directions for future research.

Social and Ecological Benefits of Public Transportation System on Mo'orea v1
Authors: Welter Marcella
Published: April 2024

Mo’orea is arguably a car-centric island, with one main road wrapping 60 km all the way around the island, with many roads branching off into the island. In January 2024, a private transportation bus system widely used by the local community was discontinued due to “lack of profitability”, leaving both the students and those who commute to Tahiti to work without transportation to schools and the ferry station. This research project aims to study how the implementation of a public transportation system would impact the local community and ecosystems of Mo’orea. Qualitative data, including general local views on public transit and accessibility of island, will be collected through interviews and online surveys. Quantitative data on human and environmental health in relation to public transit will also be gathered, including predicted change in automotive gas emissions, traffic and commute times, drunk driving accidents per year, and percent of population with a driver's license.

Research on the Influencing Factors of DT of SMEs from TOE Perspective
Authors:   People & Global Business Association, f f , f f , f f
Published: April 2024

Purpose: This paper is to examine how the DT of SMEs is affected and driven, and provide theoretical and practical implications for the DT of SMEs.
Design/methodology/approach: Starting from the TOE framework, combined with the resource-based view and contingency theory, this study identifies the antecedents that affect the DT of SMEs from the three dimensions of technology, organization, and environment. Under the framework of TOE, digital technology infrastructure, employee skills, management support and environment uncertainty will be fully discussed. With the data from 221 SMEs from China analyzed by the fs_QCA 3.0, the driving paths for high DT are divided into different conditions configurations.
Findings: The DT of SMEs is not the result of a single factor driven, but rather the result of the synergistic effect of the enterprise. There are multiple resource allocation configurations that drive the DT of SMEs, indicating the complexity and synergy of the factors affecting the DT of SMEs, which can prove the DT of SMEs has the characteristic of “multiple concurrency”.
Research limitations/implications: DT is a very complex phenomenon, and there are many factors that affect the DT of SMEs. Based on the TOE framework, this paper selects four factors, and many possible factors are not included in the model. Besides, for QCA, a case-based research method with a quantitative approach, structured questionnaire surveys often result in a lack of detailed understanding of the research subjects and the inability to delve into all case enterprises.
Originality/value: The findings will enrich the research in the DT field, and deepen the rational understanding of the complex interaction nature of multiple factors behind the successful DT of SMEs and provide path guidance for SMEs to realize DT. The research conclusions of this study provide valuable insights for SMEs to promote DT by combining possible antecedent configurations.

Boosting the Organizational Performance: Ethical Climate as a Moderator for Optimizing Risk Management Practices in the Saudi Public Sector
Authors:   People & Global Business Association, f f , f f , f f
Published: April 2024

Purpose: Drawing upon contingency theory, this study aims to investigate the relationship between risk management practices (RMPs), ethical climate (EC), and organizational performance (OP) in public organizations within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). Specifically, the study explores the moderating effect of EC in shaping the relationship between RMPs and OP.
Design/methodology/approach: Survey data were collected from a convenience sampling of 392 senior government directors within public organizations in the KSA through an online questionnaire. The relationships between study constructs were analyzed using PLS-SEM with the bootstrapping technique.
Findings: The study's findings reveal a significant positive impact of both RMPs and EC on organizational performance. Notably, the research demonstrates that ethical climate significantly moderates the positive relationship between RMPs and OP, highlighting the critical importance of ethical conduct in maximizing the effectiveness of risk mitigation strategies.
Research limitations/implications: The study's focus on the Saudi public sector and its use of a convenience sampling technique, primarily comprising senior government directors, are significant limitations when interpreting this study's findings. Expanding research to incorporate diverse organizational settings could significantly enhance this work's generalizability and practical implications. Additionally, focusing solely on EC as a moderator in the RMP-OP relationship overlooks other potentially relevant factors. Future research could delve deeper into the mechanisms through which ethical climate strengthens the impact of RMPs on performance, providing valuable guidance for organizational interventions.
Originality/value: This study's originality lies in its first-time examination of ethical climate as a moderator in the relationship between RMPs and organizational performance within Saudi public organizations. Further, study findings expanded the scope of contingency factors demonstrating that a strong ethical climate significantly amplifies the positive impact of RMPs on performance, providing compelling evidence for considering ethical climate as a crucial contingency factor for public sector success.

Published: April 2024

Based on the peculiarities of plastic deformation mechanics and physical mesomechanics, the processes are considered and technological schemes for their realization are proposed to ensure the formation of ultrafine-grained structure in axisymmetric products of large sizes. Deformation of coarse-grained materials in temperature-velocity conditions of superplastic deformation and methods of severe plastic deformation are taken as methods of preparation of such a structure. All of these deformations include large strain, and they are carried out at low hydraulic press speeds, but at different temperatures: in the mode of superplasticity at hot temperatures, and in the mode of severe plastic deformation at warm or cold temperature deformation. The first mode allows grains to be refined to microcrystalline sizes of 1–10 microns, and such a material acquires the ability to deform in a state of superplasticity, i.e., in tension with low resistance to deformation and high elongation. The second mode (severe plastic deformation) refines grains to submicro- (1÷0.1 µm) and nanosizes (less than 0.1 µm), thus giving metal materials record structural strength, as well as the possibility to use processing in extended temperature-velocity conditions of superplastic deformation in comparison with microcrystalline structure.
The Effects of Yoga Breathing Before Motor Speech Practice in Acquired Apraxia of Speech: An n-of-1 Trial
Authors: Freestone Erica , Gore Jacqueline Laures , Marshall Rebecca Shisler , Moore Elliot , van Leer Eva
Published: April 2024

A previous study discovered that two speakers with moderate apraxia of speech increased their sequential motion rates after unilateral forced-nostril breathing (UFNB) practiced as an adjunct to speech-language therapy in an AB repeated-measures design. The current study sought to: (1) delineate possible UFNB plus practice effects from practice effects alone in motor speech skills; (2) examine the relationships between UFNB integrity, participant-reported stress levels, and motor speech performance; and (3) sample a participant-led UFNB training schedule to contribute to the literature's growing understanding of UFNB dosage. A single-subject (n-of-1 trial), ABAB reversal design was used across four motor speech behaviors. A 60-year-old female with chronic, severe apraxia of speech participated. The researchers developed a breathing app to assess UFNB practice integrity and administer the Simple Aphasia Stress Scale after each UFNB session. The participant improved from overall severe to moderate apraxia of speech on the Apraxia Battery for Adults. Visual inspection of graphs confirmed robust motor speech practice effects for all variables. Articulatory-kinematic variables demonstrated sensitivity to the UFNB-plus-practice condition and correlated to stress scale scores but not UFNB integrity scores. The participant achieved 20-minute UFNB sessions 4 times per week. Removal of UFNB during A2 (UFNB withdrawal) and after a 10-day break during B2 (UFNB full dosage) revealed UFNB practice effects on stress scale scores. UFNB with motor speech practice may benefit articulatory-kinematic skills compared to motor speech practice alone. Regular, cumulative UFNB practice appeared to lower self-perceived stress levels. These findings, along with prior work, provide a foundation to further explore yoga breathing and its use with speakers who have apraxia of speech.
Forecasting the Long-Term Spatial Distribution of Earthquakes for the 2023 U.S. National Seismic Hazard Model Using Gridded Seismicity
Authors: Llenos Andrea L. , Michael Andrew J. , Shumway Allison M. , Rubinstein Justin L. , Haynie Kirstie L. , Moschetti Morgan P. , Altekruse Jason M. , Milner Kevin R.
Published: April 2024

Probabilistic seismic hazard analyses such as the U.S. National Seismic Hazard Model (NSHM) typically rely on declustering and spatially smoothing an earthquake catalog to estimate a long-term time-independent (background) seismicity rate to forecast future seismicity. In support of the U.S. Geological Survey’s (USGS) 2023 update to the NSHM, we update the methods used to develop this background or gridded seismicity model component of the NSHM. As in 2018, we use a combination of fixed and adaptive kernel Gaussian smoothing. However, we implement two additional declustering methods to account for the fact that declustering is a nonunique process. These new declustering methods result in different forecasts for the locations of future seismicity, as represented by spatial probability density functions that are later combined with a rate model to produce a full gridded earthquake rate forecast. The method updates, particularly in the separation of the spatial and rate models as well as revised regional boundaries, in some places cause substantive changes to the seismic hazard forecast compared to the previous 2018 NSHM. Additional updates to catalog processing and induced seismicity zones also contribute to changes in the gridded seismicity hazard since 2018. However, these changes are well understood and reflect improvements in our modeling of gridded seismicity hazard.

ESG Reporting as a Corporate Governance Mechanism. The Case of Publicly Listed Energy Companies
Authors: Samborski Adam
Published: April 2024

Theoretical background: The research conducted is part of a global debate on ESG reporting and its value for companies and their stakeholders. The considerations are embedded in the concept of CG mechanisms. These open up a new area of research concerning – whether and to what extent ESG reports of individual companies should be comparable among themselves? Purpose of the article: Large companies have been obliged by law to prepare ESG reports. ESG reporting can be considered an effective corporate governance (CG) mechanism, assuming comparability of reports prepared by different companies. In this regard, two questions have been raised: 1) To what extent are ESG reports of energy companies fulfilling the role of a CG mechanism?, and 2) To what extent are ESG reports of energy companies comparable among themselves? The goal of the research is thus to show common features and distinctions in the non-financial data disclosed in the ESG reports. Research methods: The research focuses on non-financial reports of energy companies quoted by the Warsaw Stock Exchange (Poland). The study examines the scope of non-financial data disclosed in ESG reports. The research method used in the study is content analysis. NVivo qualitative analysis software was used in the content analysis. Main findings: Based on the research conducted, it was found that ESG reports are not an effective CG mechanism. They do, however, overcome the information asymmetry in the scope to which they relate. A comparison of ESG reports of listed public joint stock companies in the energy sector shows that they differ in structure and different emphasis. However, the range of issues addressed in the reports is very similar. All ESG reports of the surveyed companies apply the GRI standards.
Determinants of Unemployment in Peripheral Regions of Eastern Poland in 2008–2019
Authors: Biernacki Mateusz , Kelebaj Oleksij , Lubaś Magdalena , Rychlak Marcin
Published: April 2024

Theoretical background: The origin of spatial variation in unemployment in Eastern Poland is related to the country’s system transformation, with regions that relied historically on state agricultural farms and industrial plants experiencing more challenging labour market conditions. The labour market is heterogeneous, and three approaches prevail regarding the origin, occurrence, and persistence of imbalance in the labour market: structural and institutional factors, long-term adaptation processes, and wage rigidity. While economic growth is a necessary condition for reducing unemployment, a rise in the economic growth rate does not necessarily lead to increased employment until a certain GDP growth threshold is exceeded. Purpose of the article: This study aims to conduct an empirical analysis of unemployment determinants in the Eastern region of Poland at the LAU-1 level. Research methods: The study is based on the analysis of the equation that was adopted from unemployment rate definition. Analysis of relation between unemployment rate, growth rate of labour supply and unemployment rate in previous period, using regression models, has been calibrated using government data from five provinces of Eastern Poland, covering the period from 2008 to 2019. Main findings: The results of the analysis show an improvement in the labour market situation during the analysed period, which is associated with the overall economic growth in Poland. The economic conditions favoured the improvement of employment indicators, corresponding to the increasing level of education in the population. The economy during the study period was characterized by stable GDP growth and decreasing unemployment rates. Similar trends were observed in the Eastern region of Poland, although the values of industrial production growth were slightly lower due to the local employment structure and regional industrial diversity. The analysis showed that a higher initial level of unemployment has a significant impact on its reduction in subsequent years. The significant impact of economic growth on reducing unemployment rates was also confirmed, especially in the category of people with lower vocational education. The study indicates the need for actions aimed at raising the level of education of people of working age, including through lifelong learning programs and active prevention of skill mismatch in the labour market. This study has limitations due to the number of analysed unemployment determinants and the limited time window of the study. Further research is necessary on the factors influencing unemployment at the regional and urban levels, taking into account the demographic structure of the population, employment quality, and gender-related aspects.
La minería de textos y datos en entornos transfronterizos: régimen en derecho europeo, comparado y en el sistema europeo de derecho internacional privado
Authors: Esteban de la Rosa Fernando , Fernández Molina Juan Carlos
Published: April 2024

Las nuevas posibilidades tecnológicas para realizar minería de textos y datos han provocado cambios legislativos en algunas leyes de propiedad intelectual. Los cambios buscan garantizar que los titulares de derechos de autor no puedan restringir excesivamente las posibilidades de desarrollar nuevos productos y servicios basados ​​en los nuevos usos que permite la tecnología. Entre los países que han desarrollado nueva legislación se encuentran Japón, Reino Unido y Singapur, a los que se ha sumado la Unión Europea con la Directiva 2019/790. Las legislaciones comparadas se han basado en principios diferentes que han dado lugar a regulaciones dispares. Cada vez es más común que la minería de textos y datos se realice en un contexto transfronterizo debido a diversos factores como la existencia de colaboradores que trabajan en otros países, la conformación del corpus con contenidos de diferente procedencia o su publicación o accesibilidad desde distintos países. A falta de soluciones uniformes, para conocer si las actividades de minería de textos y datos que se desarrollan en entornos transfronterizos pueden ser desarrolladas sin incurrir en infracción de los derechos de autor resulta necesario determinar la legislación aplicable. El estudio analiza las diferencias entre las regulaciones europea y comparadas que establecen excepciones legales a los derechos de autor para promover la minería de textos y datos, y lleva a cabo una revisión crítica de las soluciones del sistema europeo de derecho internacional privado en los sectores de la competencia judicial internacional y de la ley aplicable.
The evolving narrative of the court on the rule of law in the EU and potential future directions
Authors: Polak Polly Ruth
Published: April 2024

Este artículo reflexiona sobre la innovadora jurisprudencia del Tribunal de Justicia de la Unión Europea relativa a la judicialización progresiva del principio del Estado de derecho de la UE con el objetivo de discernir de ella posibles direcciones futuras. Si bien un camino posible implicaría ampliar aún más el alcance de los valores de la Unión permitiendo la aplicación del art. 2 TUE como cláusula independiente, algunos casos más recientes sugieren que el tribunal es consciente de los problemas planteados por un creciente cuerpo de jurisprudencia en este ámbito. En consecuencia, parece más inclinado a ejercer precaución, retrocediendo de posibles choques con las identidades nacionales de los Estados miembros.

A balanced work-life relationship helps boost employee performance
Authors: Adisa Toyin , Chang Kirk
Published: April 2024

The current research note is written for personnel managers and MBA students, aiming to raise awareness of the importance of work-life balance in employee management policies. In the intersection of work and personal life, the work-life balance is the equilibrium between the two; more specifically, the work-life balance explains the relationship and interaction between an individual's job and their private life. In the research note, we first introduce the concept and characteristics of work-life balance through relevant literature. We then argue the significance of incorporating work-life balance into employee management practices, as the concept of work-life balance helps managers appreciate individual differences and develop more human-oriented awareness in management. We encourage managers to adopt transformational leadership in their management, in which the concept of work-life balance should be embedded in the design and implementation of employee management policies. By giving more autonomy to the employees through work-life balance policies and practices, employees are more likely to appreciate the work and make more contributions accordingly. Practitioner points are also recommended.

O presente artigo teve como objetivo analisar a participação da população LGBTQIAPN+ nas Conferências Livres (CL) da 17ª Conferência Nacional de Saúde. Neste artigo adotamos a técnica de análise de conteúdo em pesquisa qualitativa, com análise de duas entrevistas conduzidas com três organizadores de duas CL. Destaca-se que a participação expressiva garantida pelas CL reflete o debate e a deliberação de propostas feitas por e para pessoas com diversas identidades de gênero e orientações sexuais, marcando um retorno e fortalecimento da democracia no país. A participação e o debate se efetivam em forma de proposta na 17ª CNS, possibilitando aos gestores a visibilidade de pautas ao realizar o planejamento das ações de saúde para o próximo quadriênio, considerando que a população LGBTQIAPN+ não acessa plenamente os serviços de saúde no SUS. A ausência de discussão e de espaços sendo ocupados pelo grupo foram dispositivos para reivindicação por equidade, universalidade e integralidade. Esta análise amplia as possibilidades de visibilidades e dizibilidades, diálogo e luta na produção e execução dos direitos da população LGBTQIAPN+, trazendo à cena a importância dos movimentos populares na desburocratização ao acesso à saúde e ao controle social.

L'arte del processo nella narrativa di Anna Banti
Authors: Rivetti Sonia
Published: April 2024

In 1947 Anna Banti published Artemisia. She decides to keep the events of the Gentileschi-Tassi trial out of this novel, reserving the right to deal with them in the theatrical adaptation of Artemisia (1959).

Starting from this consideration, the essay investigates the other two narrative moments in which Banti makes us enter a court: Il bastardo (1953) and Insufficienza di prove (1975).

The study is dedicated to analyzing the dependence of naphthalene content in coke oven gas on temperature and pressure. The research aimed to investigate the influence of these  parameters on the concentration of naphthalene in the gas phase. The primary focus was on studying  temperature and pressure conditions that could effectively reduce the naphthalene content in coke oven gas.The experimental results demonstrated a significant decrease in naphthalene concentration with increasing pressure and decreasing temperature. However, considering the importance of  environmental aspects, it was found that wet gas cleaning is insufficient to achieve the required level of  naphthalene removal.The use of packing-type scrubbers was proposed as an effective method for reducing naphthalene concentration in coke oven gas. They provide a high level of gas purification while  maintaining high productivity and the possibility of reusing the obtained  results in production. This approach may prove to be promising in  addressing environmental conservation and optimizing  technological processes in coke oven gas production.In addition to the proposed use of packing-type scrubbers, further investigation explored the impact of residence time on naphthalene removal efficiency. The study revealed that longer residence times in the scrubbers led to enhanced removal of naphthalene, highlighting the  importance of contact time between the gas and the scrubbing medium.
Moreover, the research delved into the economic feasibility of implementing these scrubbers in coke oven gas production facilities. Cost-benefit analyses indicated that while the initial investment might be significant, the long-term advantages, including improved environmental compliance and operational efficiency, justified the expenses.To enhance the practical application of the findings, the study considered the scalability of the proposed scrubbing method for different coke oven gas production scales. The results  demonstrated that the approach could be adapted for both large-scale industrial operations and smaller facilities, making it a versatile solution for various settings.Furthermore, the study investigated the potential by-products or waste generated during the scrubbing  process.

Online flight and hotel ticket booking services are increasingly being used by Indonesians. There are several online travel platforms in Indonesia with the highest number of users, namely Traveloka and Agoda. This research aims to determine the effect of design and service quality on user satisfaction. User satisfaction will later be tested to see whether it influences website reuse intentions. In the presence of a moderating variable, interactions will be tested together with other variables. This research was conducted by providing an online survey to Agoda & Traveloka users with the sampling technique used was non-random with accidental sampling so that 120 respondents were obtained. The data analysis method used is SEM-PLS. The research results show that design quality influences satisfaction. Satisfaction influences website reuse intentions. However, interaction does not act as a mediator between these variables. These results can then be used as a reference for online utilization and improving the quality of websites in business.
