Organizational Identity and Workplace Stress: Investigating the Impact of Organizational Culture on Stressors
Authors: Dziedzic Justyna Jolanta 
Published: November 2024

Abstract

Objective
The study explores the intersection of organizational identity and work-related stress, focusing on how corporate culture shapes employees’ well-being. It specifically investigates how the unique dimensions of an organization’s identity contribute to stress factors, influencing individual performance and collective outcomes.

Methodology
This research employs a qualitative analysis of the literature. Case studies from Amazon and UBER were used to examine the impact of organizational culture on stress and to understand how different organizational identity factors affect employee well-being.

Findings
The study highlights that stress in the workplace is not only due to workload but it is also linked to factors inherent in organizational identity, such as cultural conflicts, lack of control, and role ambiguity. Firms with rigid, hierarchical cultures exhibit higher stress levels, whereas those promoting autonomy and social support show lower stress-related issues. A model of stress-inducing organizational identity was introduced, derived from the Uber and Amazon case study.

Value
This research contributes to understanding the role of organizational identity in shaping stress and offers insights into fostering a healthier work environment through identity-conscious management practices.

Recommendations
Organizations should align their identity with employee well-being strategies by promoting a culture of transparency, autonomy, and support. Implementing policies that reduce role ambiguity and offer social support can mitigate stress-related outcomes, improving employee satisfaction and organizational efficiency.
Modelling Suitable Layout for a Small Island Harbour: A Case Study of Ruhnu in the Gulf of Riga, Eastern Baltic Sea

Published: November 2024

Abstract
We explore the complexity of various drivers and local constraints from the viewpoint of developing a feasible re-design of a small harbour that is affected by ultra-refraction of storm waves. Waves propagating towards the Port of Ruhnu on a small island in the central part of the Gulf of Riga are systematically redirected by underwater features so that saturated waves in virtually all storms propagate almost exactly into the harbour entrance. A new design of the port entrance and associated set of breakwaters is largely steered by the location of the port and options for the fairway into the port. The re-design of the breakwaters and possible relocation of the entrance considers the specific features of the local wind, wave, and water level climate, including period-depending refraction of storm waves. We present systematic analysis of these aspects using recorded and modelled wind and water level time series. Wave properties are reconstructed using the WAVE module (SWAN) of the Delft3D suite forced with ERA5 and local wind information. Phase-resolving modelling of waves (REEF3D software) reveals the presence of a bi-modal wave field in the interior of the port and provides alternatives for the design of effective protection options that suppress single wave components. On many occasions, greatly simplified models and local one-point wind properties provide even better match with recorded wave properties than sophisticated models and global data sets.

Published: November 2024

Abstract
Heating accounts for significant primary resource consumption and generation up to 30 % of total GHG emissions in the EU27. The ambitious emissions reduction goals outlined in the European Green Deal and Fit for 55 package necessitate not only the massive renovation of building stocks, but also reconstruction of heat generation and supply systems. With 76 % of the EU building stock located in urban areas, the renewal of urban heating systems is crucial.
An easy-to-use methodology has been developed for managing long-term renovation programmes and regularly assessing renovation projects, thereby forming a comprehensive dynamic vision on the progress. This methodology enables flexible, rapid and, at the same time, sufficiently accurate and objective analysis of the potential and benefits of various heating system renovation projects and their variants at the pre-design stage, as well as their comparison according to efficiency. It employs a limited number of open indicators and does not require specialised knowledge in thermal physics, economics and/or construction.
The developed methodology provides insights into (1) achievable heat consumption and primary energy savings, (2) reduction of dominant CO2 emissions, (3) changes in heating tariffs and costs, and (4) required investments.
The methodology is intended for use by: (1) municipalities to streamline sustainable planning and management of urban heating systems and to facilitate interaction with owners of buildings and local heating systems, and (2) national authorities monitoring the implementation of national programmes under Fit for 55.

Published: November 2024

Abstract
This study explores the laser-induced hydrothermal synthesis of ZnO nanostructures, focusing on the influence of various growth parameters. Using a laser to locally heat the synthesis solution, we achieved controlled growth of ZnO nanostructures. We examined the effects of laser power, exposure time, reagent concentration, and the addition of polyethyleneimine (PEI) on the morphology and distribution of the nanostructures. Results indicate that higher laser powers and extended exposure times lead to increased nanostructure diameters and heights, though they also introduce growth instability. Lower reagent concentrations produce needle-like structures, while higher concentrations yield larger but irregular formations. The addition of PEI accelerates growth, resulting in longer nanorods with reduced height variation but causes a chaotic structural arrangement and the formation of parasitic nanostructures. These findings underscore the critical role of growth parameters in tailoring the properties of ZnO nanostructures for potential applications.

Published: November 2024

Abstract
The integration of electrospun nanofibres into composite materials such as carbon fibre reinforced polymers (CFRP) and glass fibre reinforced polymers (GFRPs) has gained significant attention for enhancing their mechanical and thermal properties. This study focuses on the impact of incorporating polyacrylonitrile (PAN)-based nanofibres into an epoxy matrix to form multi-layered laminate composites. Our approach involved interleaving these orientated nanofibres within CFRP/GFRP matrices to investigate improvements in bulk material characteristics. The tensile and thermal properties of the resulting nanocomposites were thoroughly analysed. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was employed to evaluate the thermal stability and degradation behaviour. In particular, nanocomposites exhibited an increase of 5–24 % in elastic modulus, aligning with predictions from analytical models. This research underscores the potential of PAN nanofibre mats for the development of lightweight, high-performance nanocomposites, offering a novel methodology for the enhancement of composite materials.

Surfeit 4 regulates aerobic glycolysis to enhanced proliferation, tumor stemness, invasion, and metastasis in oral squamous cell carcinoma
Authors: Yuan Wei , Tan Tao , Lu Linlin , Lu Chaofei , Zhang Yan , Liu Baojuan 
Published: November 2024

Objective:
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a common malignant tumor worldwide. Surfeit 4 (SURF4) is a member of the surfeit gene family and plays a regulatory role in various cellular processes, such as protein transport and lipid metabolism. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the regulatory role and mechanisms of SURF4 in OSCC.

Material and Methods:
Serum samples were collected from the normal control and OSCC groups. The function of OSCCs was analyzed through Transwell, 5-ethynyl-2’-deoxyuridine incorporation, and Cell Counting Kit-8 assays. Selected proteins were measured by Western blot analysis. Additional vectors for the overexpression (OE) and knockdown of SURF4 were established. Aerobic glycolysis (AG) was detected through cellular glucose consumption and lactate production assays.

Results:
A significant increase was observed in protein and messenger RNA (mRNA) levels of serum SURF4 in OSCC patients compared with the control group (P < 0.001). The knockdown of SURF4 alleviated proliferation, invasion, and metastasis in OSCC (P < 0.001). Overexpressing SURF4 aggravated proliferation and invasion in OSCC and increased the levels of stem cell genes Octamer-binding Transcription Factor 4 and Sex-determining Region Y-box 2 (P < 0.001). Furthermore, adenosine triphosphate levels, lactate levels, and extracellular acidification rate were found to be elevated in the OE SURF4 group, along with higher levels of AG-related regulatory proteins (P < 0.001). Inhibiting AG with glycolysis inhibitor 2-deoxyglucose effectively impeded proliferation and invasion in OSCC.

Conclusion:
SURF4 plays a role in OSCC by regulating AG to enhance proliferation, tumor stemness, invasion, and metastasis.
Combined supraperiosteal microfat grafting and intradermal nanofat for the treatment of periorbital melanosis (dark circles)
Authors: Venkataram Aniketh 
Published: November 2024

Objectives:
Dark circles are one of the most common aesthetic concerns in India. While several treatment options exist, none address both volume deficiency and skin quality simultaneously. We felt that fat grafting and nanofat provided a novel treatment option to address both aspects of dark circles in one treatment.

Material and Methods:
Patient records were examined from 2017 to 2021. A total of 28 patients were identified as having undergone fat grafting and nanofat for dark circles specifically. The patients were analyzed for age, gender, volumes injected, and outcomes based on patient self-assessment.

Results:
A total of 36 patients underwent fat grafting ranging from the age of 20 to 40 (average 31). All procedures were done under local anesthesia as day care procedures. The volumes injected range from 2 cc/side to 8 cc/side, with an average of 4.36 cc. Using the Likert scale, 28 (77%) rated their results as very satisfied. Six (17%) rated it as satisfied. One rated it as neutral and two rated it as average, and underwent a second session of fat grafting where another 2 cc was injected per side.

Conclusion:
Fat grafting and nanofat are an exciting treatment option for the treatment of dark circles, which is usually regarded as a recalcitrant problem. It has the advantages of addressing both volume and skin quality, being a single-stage procedure, and producing comparatively long-lasting results.

Published: November 2024

Objectives:
The central nervous system, the kidneys, the heart, and the hormones are all greatly impacted by dopamine (DA), a neurotransmitter and one of the most significant catecholamines. The goal of this study is to determine if L-DOPA (l-3, 4-dihydroxyphenylalanine) causes any changes in rat behaviour, such as anxiety or motor activity.

Materials and Methods:
Before administering L-DOPA intraventricularly, male rats with and without 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) or oxidopamine lesions were pretreated with benserazide. We then recorded any behavioral changes that occurred with different doses. The rats were placed in a locomotor room, and their movements were recorded to detect changes in locomotor activity.

Statistical analysis:
Data were analyzed using Statistical Parametric Mapping and the chi-square test for discrete variables was used to investigate the relationships between DA intensity (O) and behavioural changes. A p-value less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant.

Results:
Results demonstrate that 6-OHDA lesioned rats showed quick behavioral changes in response to L-DOPA, in contrast to normally behaving rats that required 3–4 min. Centre and vertical locomotor chamber movements were reduced in 6-OHDA lesion animals compared to normal rats. The entrances to the chamber’s center (F = 23.88, P < 0.05) and vertical motions inside the center (F = 22.27, P < 0.05) were both significantly impacted by the lesion.

Conclusions:
The experimental results conclude that L-DOPA directly elicits changes in the behavioral and locomotor activities of rats. While treating rats with L-DOPA may not improve non-motor functions such as anxiety and depression, it does influence 5-hydroxytryptamine and norepinephrine levels. Consequently, further research into L-DOPA’s impacts is needed to identify potential therapeutic targets for the betterment of Parkinson’s disease patients’ quality of life.

Published: November 2024

COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by the SARS Cov-2 virus. Covid-19 caused a pandemic that has been going on since 2020. Since the pandemic, many people have been confirmed, and many have recovered who are said to be survivors of COVID-19. COVID-19 survivors can still experience symptoms such as brain fog. Students as survivors of COVID-19 who do learning can feel stress; the stress they get is called academic stress. This research was conducted to find a relationship between academic stress and brain fog in students who survived COVID-19. This study used a cross-sectional design involving 125 student survivors of COVID-19. Data analysis showed that 49 students (39.2%) did not experience brain fog, while 76 students (60.8%) were suspected of experiencing brain fog. Spearman's rank correlation test also showed a correlation between academic stress levels and brain fog (p value = 0.000) in students who survived COVID-19 with an r value of 0.409. The incidence of brain fog in COVID-19 survivors is deemed to be influenced by academic stress. There needs to be good stress management for students who are survivors of COVID-19 to maintain their thinking skills.

Published: November 2024

Los cladodios son perecederos durante su almacenamiento, por lo que se requiere implementar tecnologías que prolonguen su vida útil. El presente estudio evaluó el efecto de los recubrimientos a base de soluciones filmogénicas de almidón de maíz (AM) y yuca (AY) en cladodios frescos. Se determinó acidez, firmeza y pérdida de peso; así como también, las propiedades mecánicas y permeabilidad al vapor de agua de películas. Se prepararon 5 mezclas de AM y AY con concentraciones del 1 al 5% para recubrir los cladodios. El recubrimiento AM5 % – AY5 % mostró tener menor pérdida de peso, mayor firmeza, manteniendo la acidez a 0.307 % respecto al control (0.267 %) y una opacidad (ΔE 18.57 ± 0.2) que puede estar relacionada con la pérdida de humedad debido el paso de luz. Así mismo, conservaron su firmeza y pérdida de peso durante los 8 días. Por lo que, esta formulación puede ser una alternativa para conservar la vida postcosecha de los cladodios.

Published: November 2024

La generación de energía eléctrica por medios convencionales sigue siendo predominante, con más del 70% de la producción total proveniente de métodos que implican la quema de combustibles fósiles y sus derivados. Además, según el inventario de emisiones de la Zona Metropolitana y del Valle de México, la generación, transmisión y distribución de energía eléctrica son de las principales fuentes de contaminantes en la región (Sener, 2020). Debido a la problemática planteada se propone que en el presente proyecto de investigación se tenga como objetivo desarrollar un prototipo de software y hardware que utilice energías limpias en una casa habitación. Este sistema integrará celdas fotovoltaicas y generador eólico para la carga de una batería o un banco de baterías, empleando como última opción el suministro de energía de la CFE. Adicionalmente, se incluirá una herramienta de software para el monitoreo del estado de la batería y el voltaje del sistema.
