RESUMO: A cirurgia cardíaca envolve significativas manifestações psicológicas nos pacientes, tanto no período pré-operatório, marcado por ansiedade e medo, quanto no pós-operatório, caracterizado pela dor aguda intensificada por fatores emocionais. A personalidade do paciente, moldada por fatores genéticos e ambientais, influencia a percepção da dor, exigindo uma abordagem multiprofissional integrada para suporte emocional e psicológico. O uso de instrumentos como a Escala Numérica de Dor ajuda a quantificar e gerenciar a dor pós-operatória, melhorando a recuperação e a qualidade de vida dos pacientes. Este estudo teve como propósito analisar as manifestações psicológicas dos pacientes no pré e pós-operatório de cirurgias cardíacas. Para isso, realizou-se uma revisão sistemática de literatura. Nesse sentido, foram incluídos estudos sobre o tema, publicados entre os anos de 2019 e 2024, excluindo revisões narrativas, relatos de caso e estudos fora do período estabelecido. A seleção da amostra envolveu triagem em duas etapas, e a análise de dados foi realizada por síntese qualitativa. Considerações éticas foram respeitadas, e as limitações incluíram restrições temporais e linguísticas, além da variabilidade nos métodos diagnósticos. Após análise e interpretação dos resultados, este estudo conclui que o suporte psicológico e a comunicação eficaz são essenciais para gerenciar a ansiedade e melhorar a recuperação pós-operatória. Identificou-se maior prevalência de ansiedade entre mulheres e pacientes com baixa escolaridade, exacerbada pela falta de informações claras sobre o procedimento. A presença contínua de apoio psicológico é fundamental para minimizar complicações e promover uma recuperação mais tranquila.

HARNESSING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TO ADDRESS RISING INSECURITY, INEFFECTIVE GOVERNANCE AND ECONOMIC DOWNTURNS
Authors: MAMMAN ALIYU SALISU  , IWANGER RUTH SAMUEL  
Published: December 2024

The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers transformative potential in addressing some of the most pressing global challenges: rising insecurity, ineffective governance (kakistocracy), and economic downturns. AI’s ability to analyze vast datasets, predict outcomes, and optimize processes positions it as a critical tool for mitigating the impacts of these complex issues. In the realm of security, AI enhances threat detection and prevention through predictive policing, real-time surveillance, and cybersecurity solutions. Tools like machine learning algorithms and anomaly detection systems can proactively identify and neutralize threats ranging from terrorism to cyberattacks. In governance, AI-driven technologies can improve transparency, accountability, and efficiency by automating bureaucratic processes and enabling data-driven policymaking. Block chain-integrated AI systems, for example, ensure tamper-proof public transactions, reducing corruption and inefficiency in public administration. Meanwhile, economic downturns can be mitigated using AI’s predictive capabilities, which allow early identification of financial crises, and its role in optimizing automation can boost productivity and streamline recovery efforts. However, deploying AI is not without risks. Issues such as bias, privacy infringements, and the centralization of power must be carefully addressed to avoid unintended consequences, such as exacerbating inequalities or enabling authoritarianism. This paper explores the multifaceted applications of AI in these contexts, underscoring its promise and the necessity for robust ethical and regulatory frameworks to guide its implementation. Through balanced integration, AI can serve as a powerful ally in navigating global insecurity, governance challenges, and economic instability.

Authors: Rashid Amer , Gul Faid 
Published: December 2024

Aim of the Study: This paper aimed to study the impact of internal marketing (IM) on employee’s intention to quit (IQ) with the mediating role of organizational commitment (OC).
Methodology: Using data of 387 employees of private Banking Sector of Pakistan, the hypotheses of the study were tested using AMOS software. Correlation and regression analysis were used to test the direct and mediating relation between different variables of the study.
Findings: The results found that IM negatively affects employee’s IQ. Similarly, OC also has a negative effect on employee’s IQ. The mediation results showed that OC significantly mediated the relation between IM and IQ. Managers can utalize these results to mitigate employee’s IQ in their respective organizations. Policy makers need to pay attention to improve their IM practices but also need to create an environment to develop OC in their employees to retain good employees. These findings were extracted from the data collected from the banking sector; however, these findings can also be generalized to other organizations/ sectors.
Conclusion: It is concluded from the results of this study that IM practices result in improving employees’ OC which ultimately reduces the employees’ IQ. Therefore, top management can focus on improving the employees’ OC to mitigate employees’ turnover, retain valuable employees and thus reduce the cost of hiring and training new employees.
