There are also statistically significant differences at the 0.05 significance level between the students in the first experimental group, who were taught using corrective feedback, and those in the second experimental group, who were taught using the positive feedback strategy, in favor of the corrective feedback.
The influence of the ideas of Lao Tzu, Sun Tzu and Shen Buhai on the formation of management practices in ancient China
Authors: Yu Jiang 
Published: October 2024

The subject of this article is the principles of management formulated on the basis of ancient Chinese philosophy and psychology, as well as their difference from European management models. The paper explores how the ideas of such thinkers as Lao Tzu, Sun Tzu and Shen Buhai influenced the formation of management practices in ancient China. Special attention is paid to the Taoist approach, which is based on the principles of "non-action" and the hidden influence of the leader, which is opposed to the European traditions of demonstrating power through public events. The article also analyzes how these philosophical approaches can be relevant in the modern world, especially in the context of intercultural interactions and globalization. The study shows that Chinese management principles can contribute to the development of flexible and effective management models adapted to the cultural characteristics of different regions. The research methodology is based on a comparative historical analysis of the philosophical and psychological principles of management in the Chinese and European traditions. The approach of analyzing ancient Chinese treatises is used. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the comparative analysis of the principles of management in the Chinese and European traditions, which is rarely covered in modern management science. Special attention is paid to the Taoist concept of "non-action" and the hidden influence of the leader, which is opposed to Western models based on the demonstration of power through public actions. The article shows that Chinese management ideas, despite their ancient origins, have significant value today, especially in the context of globalization and growing interest in alternative approaches to management. The conclusions emphasize the relevance of applying the philosophical foundations of Taoism to create a harmonious, nonviolent management style in modern organizations, which can help improve the effectiveness and adaptability of leadership, as well as reduce tension and conflict in work processes.

Published: October 2024

Background:The concurrent presentation of meningioma and intracranial aneurysm (IA) poses diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, with no standardized management protocol available. This study aims to address this through an updated systematic review, delineating optimal strategies for managing this dual pathology.Methods:A systematic review was conducted across PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase databases. Articles were screened independently by two reviewers. Treatment strategies and patient outcomes were comprehensively analyzed to formulate a treatment framework based on several characteristics. In addition, one concurrent meningioma and IA case from our institution was presented.Results:A total of 69 articles comprising 115 patients were included in the study. The cohort exhibited a female predominance (80%) with a mean age of 56 (±13) years. Meningiomas were primarily localized to the frontotemporal and sellar regions, while aneurysms favored the anterior circulation – notably, 16.5% of cases presented with ruptured aneurysms. Management strategies varied based on the spatial relationship between lesions and aneurysm rupture status. In unruptured cases, 34% underwent a single craniotomy for simultaneous resection of both pathologies, while endovascular intervention was favored when the IA originated from an artery feeding the meningioma (73%). Remarkably, postoperative aneurysm rupture occurred in 33% of cases managed solely through tumor resection (range 0–30 days postop).Conclusion:This study proposes a comprehensive treatment algorithm to guide neurosurgeons in managing concurrent meningioma and IA cases. By considering individual patient intricacies, the feasibility of simultaneous management, aneurysm rupture risk, and symptomatology, this framework is a valuable tool for clinical decision-making in these complex scenarios.

Published: October 2024

Background:
Orbital schwannomas arising from the frontal nerve are a rare but distinct entity.

Case Description:
A 16-year-old girl presented to our hospital with gradually progressive proptosis. Computed tomography (CT) performed 2 years ago incidentally detected a retrobulbar mass in the left orbit measuring 13 mm × 14 mm × 10 mm, which was not identified on CT performed at the age of 4 years. CT taken at presentation revealed marked tumor growth over 2 years, measuring 24 mm × 20 mm × 17 mm. On magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the tumor appeared homogeneously isointense both on the T1- and T2-weighted sequences. The patient underwent transcranial tumor resection. Following unilateral frontal craniotomy, an osteotomy was made to the left anterior fossa floor. On reflecting, the periorbita revealed the frontal nerve with the proximal segment intermingled with the tumor. The levator and superior rectus muscles were flattened and located immediately beneath the tumor. A gross total resection was performed. Microscopic findings of the resected tumor were consistent with schwannoma.

Conclusion:
Frontal nerve schwannomas may grow rapidly under certain conditions. Periodic follow-up using MRI and timely resection is recommended when an asymptomatic orbital tumor, possibly a frontal nerve schwannoma, is detected in young patients.

Published: October 2024

This study investigates the impact of macroeconomic indicators, specifically GDP growth and inflation, on corporate financial performance in selected ASEAN countries (Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Vietnam) from 2010 to 2022. Using data sourced from the OSIRIS database and the World Bank's World Development Indicators, the analysis focuses on three key financial metrics: Return on Assets (ROA), Net Profit Margin (NPM), and Market Capitalization (MC). Employing the Generalized Least Squares (GLS) method, the study addresses heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation in panel data, incorporating control variables such as Total Assets, Current Ratio, and Interest Coverage. Results indicate that GDP growth positively correlates with ROA and NPM, underscoring the importance of economic expansion for corporate efficiency and profitability. However, GDP growth does not significantly impact Market Capitalization, highlighting potential differences in market valuation dynamics. Inflation positively affects ROA and NPM, suggesting firms effectively manage inflationary pressures but does not significantly affect Market Capitalization. The findings provide actionable insights for financial managers, investors, and policymakers. Companies should integrate macroeconomic forecasts into business planning and adopt strategies to mitigate inflationary impacts. Future research directions include sector-specific analyses, longitudinal studies, and the incorporation of additional macroeconomic variables to deepen the understanding of these relationships.

Maintaining and improving the health of pastoral soils is important to enable the provision of ecosystem services for sustainable production. We investigate the impacts of increasing pasture species diversity and reducing nitrogen (N) fertiliser inputs on pasture productivity and the flow on effects for soil health on four irrigated dairy farms in Canterbury. The soils had generally good health prior to pastures being resown. During the establishment of both simple and diverse pastures there was a decline in Olsen P, soil organic carbon (C), total N and potentially available N to below target levels. In the year following pasture establishment there was no difference in herbage accumulation between the simple and more diverse pastures under irrigation. For both simple and diverse pastures, grass species contributed approximately 50%, legumes 15%, and herbs 20% of the total dry matter harvested. Although there was a reduction in pasture growth as N fertiliser inputs were reduced, legume content did not decline significantly and differences in soil health were not observed at this stage. Despite the farms being intensive dairy systems, the data suggests good soil health prior to pasture establishment. Hence maintaining soil health as well as its restoration following disturbance present opportunities for these farms.
