Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) is a salient investment for firms to stay sustainably competitive and is instrumental in enhancing organisational environmental performance for natural environmental sustainability. While there has been a significant increase in GHRM, there is a lack of academic empirical studies examining the nexus of green transformational leadership, GHRM, green innovation and environmental performance. Nonetheless, the nexus of those variables must be explored in developing countries, especially Sri Lanka. Drawing upon the Ability Motivation Opportunity (AMO) theory and Resource-Based View (RBV) of the firm, this study aims to substantiate that GHRM fosters environmental performance, especially of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), thus yielding them a competitive edge. The study used bibliometric analysis to analyse unstructured data from 86 journal publications from the Scopus database. Subsequently, a research gap was identified, and a conceptual framework was constructed based on the findings. The theoretical framework was confirmed by analyzing data from a sample of 128 small and medium-sized companies (SMEs) and social entrepreneurs in Sri Lanka employing partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). Strong green transformational leadership is required to improve GHRM and environmental performance, raise the caliber of green innovation, and promote environmental performance within small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs), according to the results of the bibliometric study and the application of partial least squares methods.

A pandemia de corona vírus trouxe desafios significativos para a alfabetização de estudantes autistas, destacando a necessidade de adaptações educacionais e suporte adicional. O presente estudo objetivou investigar quais estratégias metodológicas de alfabetização foram utilizadas com estudantes que apresentam o Transtorno de Espectro Autista no contexto de pandemia, onde adotou-se o ensino remoto. Trata-se de um estudo de caso exploratório, com abordagem qualitativa, para a interpretação e análise dos dados foi utilizado a análise de conteúdo baseados em Bardin (1997,2011) e em Oliveira e Mota Neto (2011) para interpretação e sintetização dos resultados. O estudo evidenciou a ausência de estratégias metodológicas baseadas em evidências científicas para a alfabetização de estudantes com Transtorno do Espectro do Autismo (TEA) nas aulas remotas. Nenhuma das práticas observadas ou relatadas pelos participantes apresentou fundamentação científica comprovada, evidenciando uma lacuna significativa na adoção de abordagens pedagógicas eficazes e embasadas para esse público. Pode-se considerar que a presente pesquisa teve limitações e dificuldades na obtenção de um maior número de sujeitos participantes, no entanto o estudo alcançou o objetivo proposto ao evidenciar que os docentes utilizaram como estratégia de alfabetização recursos tecnológicos, sem desapegar de antigas metodologias utilizadas antes do ensino remoto.

No presente artigo, explora-se a delicada identificação e análise das vulnerabilidades para infecções sexualmente transmissíveis (ISTs) em discentes da área da saúde. Partindo dos resultados de uma pesquisa quantitativa de caráter descritivo, com objetivo analisar o conhecimento e a atitude entre acadêmicos da área da saúde sobre as ISTs e comportamentos sexuais. O estudo monitorou, em sua maioria, jovens estudantes entre 18–25 anos, com prevalência do sexo feminino, heterossexuais e solteiros. Do total de respostas obtidas, 96,7% dos participantes tiveram relação sexual nos últimos doze meses e, desses participantes sexualmente ativos, 91,9% indicaram não terem adquirido nenhuma doença sexualmente transmissível, enquanto os demais dividiram as respostas sobre determinadas doenças sexuais, sendo herpes genital a de maior incidência, com 3,2% das ISTs adquiridas pelos participantes. Apesar da incidência baixa de ISTs entre os participantes dos cursos de saúde da pesquisa proposta, revelou-se a importância de vincular à prática profissional não apenas o conhecimento acerca das infecções sexualmente transmissíveis, mas também o cuidado de si. Reforçando-se, ainda, a necessidade da temática ser abordada nos cursos da área da saúde e correlatos, já que 62,90% dos participantes nunca realizaram testagem para determinadas doenças, como HIV/AIDS, Sífilis e hepatites, embora todos os estudantes já tenham se exposto a situações nas quais ISTs são transmitidas. ​

This study investigates the impact of microcredit on women’s empowerment in rural Bangladesh, specifically within the Lakshmipur District. A quantitative research approach was adopted by utilizing the data collected through a structured questionnaire. The survey involved 150 women from the district with a focus on their economic activities, autonomy, and social participation. The findings reveal that most respondents (65%) engage in trading supported primarily by microfinance and NGO loans. The majority (43%) achieved annual earnings exceeding BDT 6000, yet 40% reported challenges with loan repayment. The household decision-making analysis showed that 57% of the participants exercised autonomy over financial choices. The results suggest that 83% of the respondents were married, underscoring their motivation to improve family finances. Moreover, 93% observed positive effects on family life, highlighting the role of microcredit in promoting economic and social empowerment, despite cultural challenges. Recommendations include integrating skill development with microcredit programs and involving male family members to create a supportive environment. This study highlights the potential of microcredit while suggesting pathways to achieve more sustainable empowerment for rural women in Bangladesh.
College Teachers Job satisfaction: A comparative paradigm between Bangladesh Civil Service and Non-Civil Service
Authors: Foysal Habib  
Published: December 2024

His satisfaction determines the quality and performance of a teacher. This paper aims to investigate college teacher job satisfaction in civil service (government colleges) and non-civil service (new government colleges) in Bangladesh. A survey method employing a quantitative approach was used to conduct comparative research. Convenient sampling was used to obtain data from 200 teachers (100 from the government college and 100 from the new government colleges) and 10 colleges (5 from the government and 5 from the new government colleges). The Chi-Squared independence hypothesis test reveals statistically significant variations in the degree of agreement for several of the questions on the Job Satisfaction scale between the government and the new government college teachers (salary, promotion, benefits, coworkers, type of work done, and communication within the organization). Based on teachers' demands and perceptions, suggestions have been made for educational management to incorporate professional and personal views connected to Job satisfaction.
Mountain lions reduce movement, increase efficiency during the Covid‐19 shutdown

Abstract

Wildlife strongly alter behaviour in response to human disturbance; however, fundamental questions remain regarding the influence of human infrastructure and activity on animal movement. The Covid‐19 pandemic created a natural experiment providing an opportunity to evaluate wildlife movement during a period of greatly reduced human activity. Speculation in scientific reviews and the media suggested that wildlife might be increasing movement and colonizing urban landscapes during pandemic slowdowns. However, theory predicts that animals should move and use space as efficiently as possible, suggesting that movement might actually be reduced relative to decreased human activity.

We quantified space use, movement, and resource‐selection of 12 GPS‐collared mountain lions (eight females, four males) occupying parklands in greater Los Angeles during the Spring 2020 California stay‐at‐home order when human activity was far below normal. We also tested the hypothesis that reduced traffic on Los Angeles area roadways increased permeability of these barriers to animal movement.

Contrary to expectations that wildlife roamed more widely during pandemic shutdowns, resident mountain lions used smaller areas and moved shorter distances relative to their historical behaviour in greater Los Angeles. They also relaxed avoidance of anthropogenic landscape features such as trails and development, which likely facilitated increased travelling efficiency. However, there was no detectable change in road‐crossing, despite reduced traffic volume.

Our results support the theoretical prediction that animals maximize movement efficiency and suggest that carnivores incur energetic costs while avoiding humans. While mountain lions may restrict movement at the landscape level relative to barriers, they appear to increase distances moved at finer scales when avoiding human activity – highlighting the scale‐dependent nature of animal responses to human disturbance.

Avoiding humans can reduce direct mortality of large carnivores and is often suggested to be an important mechanism promoting coexistence in shared landscapes. However, energetic costs incurred by increased movement and space‐use while avoiding human activity may have important consequences for population viability, predator–prey interactions, community structure, and human–wildlife conflict. Management providing sufficient wild prey and education regarding best practices for protection of domestic animals are important for conserving large carnivores in human‐dominated landscapes.

AbstractIn prostate stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), hydrogel spacers are increasingly used. This study aimed to perform a dosimetry comparison of treatment plans using CyberKnife (CK), commonly used for prostate SBRT, Helical TomoTherapy (HT), and TrueBeam (TB) in patients with hydrogel spacer implantations. The data of 20 patients who received hydrogel spacer implantation for prostate SBRT were retrospectively analyzed. The prescription dose was 36.25 Gy in five fractions to 95% of the planning target volume (PTV; D95). The conformity index (CI), gradient index (GI), homogeneity index (HI), and dose‐volume histogram (DVH) were analyzed for the three modalities, using the same PTV margins. The monitor unit (MU) and the beam‐on‐time (BOT) values were subsequently compared. The CI of TB (0.93 ± 0.02) was significantly superior to those of CK (0.82 ± 0.03, p < 0.01) and HT (0.86 ± 0.03, p < 0.01). Similarly, the GI value of TB (3.59 ± 0.12) was significantly better than those of CK (4.31 ± 0.43, p < 0.01) and HT (4.52 ± 0.24, p < 0.01). The median doses to the bladder did not differ between the CK and TB (V18.1 Gy: 16.5% ± 4.5% vs. 15.8% ± 4.4%, p = 1.00), but were significantly higher for HT (V18.1 Gy: 33.2% ± 7.3%, p < 0.01 vs. CK, p < 0.01 vs. TB). The median rectal dose was significantly lower for TB (V18.1 Gy: 5.6% ± 4.5%) than for CK (V18.1 Gy: 11.2% ± 6.7%, p < 0.01) and HT (20.2% ± 8.3%, p < 0.01). TB had the shortest BOT (2.6 min; CK: 17.4 min, HT: 6.9 min). TB could create treatment plans dosimetrically comparable to those of CK when using the same margins, in patients with hydrogel spacers.

Published: August 2021

AbstractIntegrated wearable electronics capable of transducing and transmitting biophysical information on complex and dynamic systems are attracting high interest across the consumer electronics, clinical, and research domains. Gallium and gallium‐based liquid metals (LMs) emerge as promising conductor technology for wearables due to their excellent combination of electrical conductivity and mechanical compliance. However, LMs feature complex physical and chemical properties that pose significant manufacturability challenges. Herein, a microtechnology approach is presented to fabricate deformable, microscale LM conductors with high surface density and over large surface areas. Based on a combination of soft lithography, directional patterning, and thermal evaporation of gallium, this new technology enables a range of designs and geometries that can be used to form LM‐based stretchable electronic conductors. The versatility of the technology enables a palette of circuit designs that can offer unrivaled transparency (T > 89%) or large metallization density (2/5 µm line/gap).

Published: August 2021

AbstractBackgroundThe majority of children seeking care in emergency departments are seen by general emergency medicine (EM) residency program graduates. Throughout training, EM residents manage fewer critically ill pediatric patients compared to adults, and the exposure to children with illness and injury requiring emergent assessment and management is often limited and sporadic across training sites. This report describes the creation of a robust set of simulation cases for EM trainees incorporating topics identified during a previous modified Delphi study to improve their pediatric acute care knowledge and skills.MethodsAll 30 pediatric EM topics and 19/26 procedures previously identified as “must be taught by simulation” to EM residents were mapped to 15 simulation case topics. Twenty‐seven authors from 16 institutions created cases and supporting materials. Each case was iteratively implemented during a peer review process at two to five sites with EM residents. Feedback from learners and facilitators was collected via electronic surveys and used to revise each case before the next implementation.ResultsThirty‐five institutions participated in the peer review process. Fifty‐one facilitators and 281 participants (90% EM residents) completed surveys. Most facilitators (98%) agreed or strongly agreed with the statement “This simulation case is relevant to the field of emergency medicine.” A majority of facilitators and participants agreed or strongly agreed with the statements “The simulation case was realistic” (98% of facilitators, 94% of participants) and “This simulation case was effective in teaching resuscitation skills” (92% of facilitators, 98% of participants). Most participants reported confidence in knowledge and skills addressed in the learning objectives after participation.ConclusionsFacilitators and EM residents found cases from a novel simulation‐based curriculum covering critical pediatric EM topics relevant, realistic, and effective. This curriculum can help provide a standardized, uniform experience for EM residents who will care for critically ill pediatric patients in their communities.

AbstractIn recent years, carbon dots (CDs), including carbon nanodots, carbonized polymer dots, carbon quantum dots, and graphene quantum dots have attracted a mounting interest as readily accessible, nontoxic, and relatively inexpensive carbon‐based nanomaterials. Yet, despite intense research for a number of years, a unifying picture is still lacking to clarify the exact definition, clear chemical structure, and unique optical properties of this family of nanomaterials. In this review, we systematically summarize the recent development of CDs from molecular design to related properties of excited states as well as their applications in optoelectronic devices and biology. We point out the current challenges, including exploring precise synthesis, clarifying the structure‐property relationship, and regulating singlet and triplet states of fluorescence, phosphorescence, and delayed fluorescence. Moreover, the structural optimization of optoelectronic devices, tumor targeting mechanism, selective imaging, and drug delivery of CDs are also highlighted. We hope that the information provided in this review will inspire more exciting research on CDs from a brand‐new perspective and promote practical application of CDs in multiple directions of current and future research.
