Authors: Mustaffa Abd Hadi , Safeei Roshidah , Fadzilah Norfarah Syahirah Mohd , Tajarahim Nor Adilla 
Published: October 2024

Good corporate governance practices are essential in every organisation to ensure accountability and due diligence enhancing corporate value. However, some countries face barriers to good corporate governance practices such as poor regulatory frameworks, perceived constraints, and threats from external factors, etc. Therefore, the organisations will face consequences such as eroding shareholder confidence, declining market value and the organisation integrity. Hence, the study’s main objective is to systematically review the barriers to good corporate governance practice in the global context. This study uses a systematic literature review whereby the authors analyse 24 selected articles. Therefore, the main findings indicated ten barriers to good corporate governance practices. The ten barriers are weak regulatory framework, perceived constraints, poor quality of information, external business factors, lack of awareness, confusion of authority, lack of monitoring, board diversity, transparency and investor protection. These findings provide significant contributions in theoretical development for potential scholars and practical implications for organisations, stakeholders, investors, and corporate leaders who aim to strengthen the governance framework, improve organisational resilience and promote sustainable value creation to understand these barriers comprehensively.

Authors: García-Negrón Valerie , Stoklosa Ryan J. , Toht Matthew J. 
Published: October 2024

In this work, the chemical composition, chemical structures, and sugar release were evaluated for sweet sorghum bagasse (SSB) biomass in response to alkaline pretreatments and enzymatic hydrolysis. Five different ratios of 2 M sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) solutions were used for biomass fractionation along with two heat treatment conditions, 85°C and 150°C for 1 h. Sugar yields from enzymatic hydrolysis were measured at different durations up to 72 h. SSB samples pretreated at high temperature using alkaline solutions containing equal amounts of Na2CO3 and NaOH favored retaining cellulose content (up to 90%) while effectively removing hemicellulose (65%) and lignin (92%). The high-temperature pretreatment conditions resulted in improved delignification, higher sugar concentrations, and sugar yields. Pretreatment solutions consisting of 50% or more NaOH produced higher glucose yields (85%–90%) and total sugar concentrations. Moreover, pretreatment solutions containing Na2CO3 improved the hydrolysis rates allowing SSB samples reach maximum yields faster than those without it, 48 versus 72 h. Results showed pretreatment methods combining NaOH and Na2CO3 were effective at promoting SSB biomass conversion, increasing sugar recovery after hydrolysis, and reducing the hydrolysis duration, all of which are desirable and cost beneficial.

Published: October 2024

IntroductionIn order to find early selection criteria to improve the longevity of show jumping horses, a specific protocol was designed.MethodsBefore entering competition, young horses selected from extreme stallions for longevity were measured for many traits, including blood parameters. Blood samples were taken from 952 horses aged 2–4 years old, sired by two groups of stallions: one with unfavorable (U) and the other with favorable (F) extreme estimated breeding values for functional longevity. These breeding values were previously calculated from data on 202,320 horses that participated in show jumping competitions between 1985 and 2022. Functional longevity was defined as time spent in competition, adjusted for the level of performance. The 59 measured parameters included hematology, proteins, cytokines, liver and kidney function, bone and joint health, oxidative stress and endocrinology. Heritability was estimated using a mixed model that accounted for the effect of age, sex, estimated weight, visit (place and date of collection), and animal random additive value with 10,280 horses in pedigree. A Partial Least Square logistic regression was performed to predict the sire group.ResultsAge, sex and estimated weight significantly affected 36, 19 and 16 variables, respectively. The visit had a significant effect on all variables. Heritability estimates were high, with 75% higher than 0.20% and 30% higher than 0.50. The most heritable traits included mean corpuscular volume (0.92, se 0.11), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (0.90, se 0.11), white blood cells (0.55, se 0.13), total alkaline phosphatase (0.68, se 0.12) and percentage of γ-globulin (0.57, se 0.12). The logistic regression that predicted the group of sires favorable for longevity identified 16 significant variables. Key findings included: lower mean corpuscular hemoglobin (p-value &lt; 0.001), lower mean corpuscular volume (p-value &lt; 0.001), lower number of white blood cells (p-value &lt; 0.01), higher percentage of intestinal and bone alkaline phosphatase (p-value &lt; 0.01) for a lower total alkaline phosphatase (p-value &lt; 0.01), higher percentage of α2-globulin (p-value &lt; 0.001) and lower percentage of β1-globulin (p-value &lt; 0.01).DiscussionBlood parameters measured at rest in young horses may be predictive of their genetic value for functional longevity in show jumping.

ObjectiveTo optimize the use of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) for cancer patients, we characterized and evaluated ONJ related to TKIs and ICIs by analyzing a public database and reviewing the relevant literature. TKIs and ICIs are limited to drugs that treat renal cancer recommended by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology for Kidney Cancer.MethodsWe described a case series of patients experiencing ONJ while on TKIs or ICIs. We also analyzed spontaneous reports submitted to the FAERS in an observational and retrospective manner between January 2004 and December 2022. Selecting ONJ’ adverse events to TKIs and ICIs. Associations between TKIs, ICIs and ONJ were assessed using reporting odds ratios (ROR), drug interaction signals based on the Ω shrinkage measure.Results29 patients with ONJ events while on TKIs and ICIs were included in our case series. 240 were related to ONJ AEs. Specifically, 32.1% ICSRs were linked to sunitinib, 16.7% to lenvatinib, 12.9% to pazopanib, 12.5% to nivolumab, 10.0% to axitinib, 5.4% to sorafenib, 5.0% to pembrolizumab, 4.2% to cabozantinib, and 1.3% to ipilimumab. More ICSRs were generally seen in male and reported in Europe. The median age was 63 years. Renal cancer and lung cancer was the most common indication for TKIs and ICIs, respectively. Excluding missing data, the prevalence of mortality was highest for sunitinib-related ONJ ICSRs (18.5%), followed by sorafenib-related ONJ ICSRs (15.4%). With the criteria of ROR, sunitinib and lenvatinib were significantly associated with ONJ AEs. With the criteria of Ω, nivolumab + cabozantinib was significantly associated with ONJ AEs.ConclusionTKIs and ICIs have been reported to have significant ONJ side effects. Patients and physicians need to recognize and monitor these potentially fatal adverse events.

Published: October 2024

IntroductionMental health is the cornerstone of public health, especially where middle-aged and older adults during the COVID-19 pandemic were concerned. The impact of Internet usage on mental health in the time of the crisis still presents a mixed picture.MethodsThis study employs the PSM-DID method according to longitudinal data (CFPS) to explore whether Internet usage reduced the impact of COVID-19 on the mental health of middle-aged and older adults.ResultsThe results reveal that Internet use improves the mental health of middle-aged and older adults during the pandemic in China, but that the impact varies between urban and rural residents. Furthermore, the moderator effects model shows that people’s perceptions of the Internet have an impact upon the length of time spent online and its consequent effect on mental health.DiscussionThese findings suggested that Internet use had a significant effect on alleviating the levels of depression in middle-aged and older adults. Greater marginal gains may be realized by enhancing the digital capacity of and narrowing the digital divide that exists among rural residents. The enhancement of digital capacity and proper guidance in digital education should be taken into consideration where the mental health of middle-aged and older adults is at issue.

Published: October 2024

PurposeDrawing on social exchange and social identity theories, this study examines the mediating role of organizational identification on the relationship between high-performance human resource practices (HPHRPs) and employee commitment. The study further examines the moderating role of organizational culture in this mediated relationship.MethodA cross-sectional survey was conducted with 340 employees from state-owned enterprises in China, and SPSS was used to test the hypothesized relationships.FindingsThe results indicate that organizational identification acts as a mediator of the relationship between HPHRPs and employee commitment. Additionally, organizational culture moderates the strength of this mediated relationship, affecting the degree to which HPHRPs foster commitment.OriginalityThis study contributes to the literature by integrating social exchange and social identity theories to explain the psychological mechanisms underlying the employee-organization relationship. It also extends the understanding of how organizational identification mediates the link between HPHRPs and commitment, and how organizational culture moderates these effects, providing a more comprehensive understanding of these interrelated dynamics in organizational settings.

Published: October 2024

Даргинская литература, как и литературы других народов Дагестана, возникла на основе диалектического слияния художественного опыта народа, хранимого в его фольклоре. Богатый фольклор даргинцев не знал драмы в прямом значении этого слова, хотя разнообразные драматические элементы наличествовали в календарных народных обрядах, а также эпосе и лирике.
Dargin literature, like the literature of other peoples of Dagestan, arose on the basis of a dialectical fusion of the artistic experience of the people stored in their folklore. The rich folklore of the Dargins did not know drama in the direct meaning of this word, although various dramatic elements were present in calendar folk rituals, as well as epics and lyrics.

Published: October 2024

Introdução: O uso de fitoterápicos vem sendo amplamente utilizado devido à busca por alternativas naturais no tratamento de doenças. No entanto, essa popularização ressalta a importância de uma educação em saúde eficaz que informe sobre os benefícios e riscos. Metodologia: O objetivo deste trabalho foi apresentar, por meio de revisão da literatura, estudos que indicam que fitoterápicos, quando combinados com medicamentos convencionais, podem interferir na eficácia e segurança dos tratamentos, especialmente em doenças crônicas que exigem o uso contínuo de medicamentos. Desenvolvimento: Os profissionais de saúde são essenciais na orientação para o uso seguro e racional dos fitoterápicos. A falta de conhecimento sobre essas interações, tanto na população quanto entre alguns profissionais, sublinha a necessidade de capacitação contínua e de campanhas educativas. Políticas públicas, como as implementadas pelo Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) no Brasil, incluem fitoterápicos na atenção básica, no entanto essas iniciativas precisam ser acompanhadas de estratégias educacionais que garantam a segurança e eficácia no uso desses tratamentos. Considerações finais: A educação em saúde é uma ferramenta indispensável para promover o uso racional e seguro dos fitoterápicos, maximizando benefícios e minimizando riscos no contexto da saúde pública e prática clínica.
