Management and Development of Talented Employees in the Global World
Authors: Kursch Martin , Veteska Jaroslav 
Published: January 2021

Research background: The study focuses on the search for talented individuals depending on the size and form of organizations in the Czech Republic.
Purpose of the article: The article answers the question where organizations are looking for talented individuals in the Czech Republic in the era of digitization and Industry 4.0. It also reveals whether different forms of organization and their size play a role in finding talented individuals.
Methods: A representative sample of 301 talent management organizations found whether the search for talented individuals depends on the size of private organizations and whether the form of the organization affects its application. The study is part of a very extensive research completed in 2018 dealing with the effectiveness of talent management methods in the Czech Republic.
Findings & Value added: It produces specific results related to the way talented individuals are found in small, medium, and large private organisations and public organisations. The result is to determine the dependency between size, form of organization and search for talented individuals. The study also points to the fact that the “talent pool” method is independent of seeking talent within an organisation or in the labour market. The study covers a wide range of organisations, including public organisations, which are neglected in most current research.

Published: January 2021

Research background: The disadvantaged position of women in the labor market is a well-known fact. However, there are also differences between women themselves, which put certain groups in an even more disadvantaged position compared to others. Women entered the paid workforce after centuries of “quiet revolution” (McManus and Johnson, 2020) and still they remain more likely to be in insecure employment, work varying hours or short hours, and dominate in particular sectors (Wilson, 2019).
Purpose of the article: Our study aimed at the analysis of the link between structure of family (household) Slovak woman live in and their attitudes towards its impact on their employment.
Methods: The Chi-square statistic as a non-parametric test to analyze group differences was used on the attained questionnaire and a Cramer’s V as the most common strength test was used to test the association between the data after the significant Chi-square results has been obtained.
Findings & Value added: Recently, the interest of researchers worldwide is aimed at the disadvantaged position of woman on the labor market compared to man. They focus mainly on the wage gap and other inequalities, since most of these studies has quantitative character with the focus of post hoc status description. Our article aimed at the similar topic but is based on the attitudes of the women themselves and their expectations in relation to this issue. We are therefore trying to quantify qualitatively based research, which is unique both in Slovakia and abroad.

Authors: Hamidova Lala 
Published: January 2021

Research background: The Caspian region with rich hydrocarbons and a favorable location has always been in the attention of researchers. Large oil reserves of the Caspian countries - Azerbaijan, Russia and Kazakhstan - have become an object of interest for world business. These countries have much in common: they were part of a Soviet Union for 70 years. However, during the period of market reforms, the Caspian countries turned out to be uncompetitive in both domestic and foreign commodity markets, the commodity structure of exports was significantly degraded, and its raw orientation increased.
Purpose of the article: The main objective of the study is to reveal the problems of diversification of commodity exports of the Caspian countries, a comparative analysis of the structure of their commodity exports in the context of the development of the globalization of the world economy and the intensification of international competition.
Methods: We used the methods of comparative analysis of the export structure of Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Russia by main product groups, by top-five goods. To determine the level of diversification and export concentration, the Herfindahl-Hirschman index and the export concentration index were used.
Findings & Value added: The calculations of the Herfindahl-Hirschman index show a low level of export diversification in these countries, especially in Azerbaijan. The export concentration index showed that the top-five of exported goods are mainly natural raw materials. In the non-oil sector, in all three countries, unproductive and not-tradable sectors: construction, trade and transport prevail.

Published: January 2021

Zusammenfassung
Ziel des Reviews Die COVID-19 Pandemie ist auf dem Vormarsch, die Sorgen
und Ängste in der Bevölkerung wachsen, ebenso wie im
medizinischen System. Aus der Perspektive der Stressforschung steht jetzt auf
der einen Seite die Frage, wie diese psychosozialen Belastungen
bewältigt werden können. Auf der anderen Seite entsteht die
Frage, ob bestimmte Formen von Stress zu einer Häufung von Infektionen
und kritischen Krankheitsverläufen beitragen können.
Methodik In einem narrativen Review wird vor dem Hintergrund des aktuellen
Forschungsstandes zu Stressbelastungen und Immunantwort dargelegt, wie Stress
die Immunabwehr von Viruserkrankungen beeinflussen kann.
Ergebnisse Übermäßiger Stress kann die Funktion
der Barriere von Atemwegen kompromittieren und über eine Fehlanpassung
der neuroendokrinen Stressreaktionssysteme zu einer Virus-permissiven
Immunantwort beitragen.
Diskussion Da bestimmte Formen von Stress für eine erfolgreiche
Immunabwehr von viral bedingten Atemwegserkrankungen eine Rolle spielen
können, ist es wichtig Menschen mit hoher psychosozialer Belastung
frühzeitig zu identifizieren und mit geeigneten Stress-reduzierenden
Interventionen zu versorgen.
Schlussfolgerung Von Verhaltensänderungen und psychosozialen
Maßnahmen, die zu einem verbesserten Umgang mit Stress beitragen, kann
eine positive Wirkung auf die Immunantwort bei viralen Atemwegsinfekten erwartet
werden.
Validation and Implementation of 4-domain Patient-reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) Tailored for Orthopedic Sports Medicine
Authors: Piedade Sérgio Rocha , Hutchinson Mark R. , Ferreira Daniel Miranda , Ferretti Mario , Maffulli Nicola 
Published: January 2021

AbstractThe validation of a 4-domain PROM tailored to orthopedic sports medicine was performed through item generation, item scaling, validity and reliability testing, statistical analysis, as well as item reduction. Conbrach's alpha was used to verify item homogeneity, i. e. their accuracy or consistency. This PROM showed acceptable statistical accuracy and clinical applicability for a variety of surgical treatments, regardless of the anatomical injury sites. Moreover, this PROM considers the athletes’ primary physical demands in an non-injured baseline condition, their motivation to continue sports practice and participation, and the influence of sports practice on their quality of life. This 4-domain PROM tailored for orthopedic sports medicine appears to be a valid tool to assess athletes and high-performing practitioners with sports injuries, recording their perception of injury, expectations of treatment; evaluation of postoperative care and treatment received, and perceived outcomes compared to their pre-injury status of physical demands in sports activity. The tool is unique, allowing direct comparisons between athletes’ perception of pre-injury baseline, injury, treatment, and outcome. It will be a welcome adjunct to the sports medicine professional’s tool box when assessing athlete’s status and outcome after injury and intervention.
