Authors: Hibaoui Kawtar , Naji Fairouz 
Published: October 2024

In today’s business world, the focus of many organizations is heavily skewed toward tangible assets – including profitability, revenue growth, cash-flow- as the primary drivers of success. However, another equally important area is frequently overlooked and deserves more attention, namely, employee mental health.The main aim of this review is to explore and better understand the ripple effects of employee’s mental states on firms’ outcomes. To meet this objective, we followed a specific methodological approach, initiating our research by scrutinizing the most recent and relevant scientific publications in several academic literature databases, in order to delve into the various ways in which mental health states can shape employee’s overall work functioning and firms’ outcomes, including productivity, performance, turnover rates, absenteeism, and much more. Following our analysis, we have concluded that employee’s mental health state isn’t just a personal matter, but it’s, on contrary, a strategic imperative for thriving businesses. Nurturing mentally strong minds in the workplace is a must, to evade substantial losses, and to prevent the deepening of mental illness.

Published: October 2024

Since preeclampsia first emerged a few centuries ago, a substantial portion of humanity has been tormented by this disease, which has jeopardized and disrupted mankind. Numerous biological markers, including ENDOGLIN, PIGF (placental growth factor), SFLT 1(soluble fms like-tyrosine kinase 1), and PAPP-A (pregnancy associated plasma protein-A), suggest preeclampsia. It was beneficial for detecting preeclampsia, even if there was frequent mortality and morbidity among mothers because of the anticipated latency. Then another marker, fibronectin, was added to the picture. A better preeclampsia prognosis leads substantially to an overall decrease in maternal morbidity and mortality. The primary organ that manufactures circulating fibronectin, occasionally referred to as serum fibronectin, is the liver. To enable the extracellular and intracellular matrix to communicate and regulate cell behavior, fibronectin, an extracellular matrix element, primarily interacts with integrin receptors. Fibronectin is a diagnostic marker for a variety of ailments, such as muscular dystrophy, ovarian and stomach cancers, and gestational diabetes. Inflammatory changes result in the release of fibronectin into the bloodstream, and the main triggering factor of preeclampsia is the infiltration of various trophoblasts that injures endothelial tissues and induces inflammation. Therefore, the primary goal of our study was to establish that fibronectin is a biomarker of preeclampsia. To elucidate our perspective and evaluate whether fibronectin is relevant in preeclampsia prediction, we will conduct a qualitative evaluation of prior research and juxtapose it with the findings of the present study. Thus, early detection of preeclampsia could decrease the rate of maternal mortality and morbidity.

Published: October 2024

This study thoroughly examines the two complex theories related to work engagement in the context of teacher retention. Emphasising the crucial significance of achieving a harmonious and cohesive degree of engagement, it aims to address the urgent problem of teacher attrition. The study creates a unified narrative that redefines teacher retention, especially in marginalised communities. It reframes the topic by integrating Kahn's theory of engagement with Schaufeli et al. model of work engagement. These two theoretical frameworks provide teachers with a deeper comprehension and direction in navigating the complexities of their profession, assisting them in achieving long-term commitment. This study offers both theoretical insight and practical recommendations for educational institutions and policymakers to enhance teacher retention.

Authors: Kumari Shalini , Shukla Balvinder , Mishra Paritosh 
Published: October 2024

The workplace environment experienced tremendous transformation after the worldwide pandemic, with the hybrid model emerging as the most significant paradigm. For a considerable duration, organizations have faced challenges in creating an optimal work environment that fosters heightened productivity, well-being, employee performance, and overall job satisfaction. The present study aims to explore the transformation journey from crisis-induced hybrid work to the construction of a sustainable post-pandemic work environment, as well as the significant impact of the hybrid workplace on employee performance and job happiness. The researchers employed a quantitative method to collect data from 260 employees working in a hybrid work setting. Partial least squares structural equation modeling was applied to assess the data and examine the hypotheses. The findings indicate that hybrid work has a significant and positive effect on employee performance and job happiness. It also appears that hybrid work has a positive effect on work engagement and that work engagement considerably mediates the relationship between hybrid work and employee performance. However, the findings do not support the direct effect of hybrid work on job happiness, but rather the mediating role of work engagement in the proposed relationship between hybrid work and job happiness. The research introduces fresh insights by linking the hybrid workplace model to employee performance, job satisfaction and work engagement. Additionally, it extends the JD-R model into the hybrid workplace context. The practical implications of this study suggest that practitioners can leverage these findings to inform the development of policies and procedures aimed at enhancing employee performance and job satisfaction, particularly within the framework of the hybrid workplace model.

Despite the global success of various sectors in technological innovation to achieve sustainable organizational development, less is applicable in the waste management industry. Therefore, the current research looks at the effects of technological innovation, and landfill resources on sustainable organizational development. Employed a quantitative approach to investigate how technological innovation affects sustainable organizational development in the waste management industry. Self-administered questionnaires of 280 managing directors of waste management firms in Southwest Nigeria participated in the survey. Before data collection, the survey instrument's validity and reliability were carefully evaluated. The study constructs were validated by exploratory factor analysis which produced the final factor structure. One item of Capacity Development 31 was removed and all items Cronbach's alpha valued. While TI one component was 0.840, LF component was 0.766, component 2 was 0.767, CD was 0.788 and SOD 0.848. These show strong internal consistency and reliability using SPSS 26.0 for the analysis. The relationship between technology adoption and sustainable organizational development for operational effectiveness and environmental sustainability is examined in this study using statistical methodologies. These findings lay the groundwork for further research by delivering insightful information about the variables impacting technology innovation and landfill resources to achieve SOD. The suggested theoretical framework attempts to close the gap between technological innovation, landfill resources and sustainable organizational development by mediating the role of capacity development. Existing research in the area mostly concentrated on other sectors leaving the waste management industry isolated. For business executives looking to maximize sustainability through technology innovation, the report offers insightful information. By incorporating more variables into the social exchange theory. This article emphasizes the value of pilot studies for better research design while also addressing the paucity of literature in the industry and providing a new paradigm for SOD.

Published: October 2024

Interventional radiology (IR) has become a widespread medical imaging technique, offering minimally invasive treatment options. However, IR procedures can expose patients and staff to substantial radiation risks, necessitating enhanced radiation protection practices. This study aimed to survey the knowledge and practices of interventional radiology staff regarding radiation protection. A cross-sectional study with a descriptive aim, based on a questionnaire was done. The study subjects were all healthcare personnel of all specialties having practiced in interventional radiology between 2019 and 2022 at the University Hospital Center of Rabat. The statistical processing was carried out using Microsoft Excel 2013® and the IBM SPSS Statistical program version 20 (IBM Inc. NY, USA). The results indicated that 59.4% of participants had not received any specific training in radiation protection, and 45% were unaware of the radiation-induced risks associated with interventional radiology procedures. Regarding safety practices, 75% of participants maintained a distance of at least 1 meter from the x-ray source, while only 6% used the lowest possible exposure settings. Concerning the use of radiation protection devices, 87.5% of participants wore a lead apron, 75% used a thyroid shield, 6.3% wore lead glasses, and 37.5% utilized suspended mobile screens, whereas 12.5% did not use any radiation protection devices. Additionally, 84% of participants wore their personal dosimeter, though not consistently. The knowledge and practices of most interventional radiology personnel are inadequate for effective radiation protection. Regular, ongoing training in radiation safety is essential to improve adherence to protection standards and enhance overall safety in clinical practice.

Indonesia has implemented an independent curriculum, ‘Merdeka’, and encouraged differentiated learning. The research was conducted from September to April 2023. This study aimed to measure science teachers' perceptions of differentiated learning. This investigation used a survey methodology. The instrument used in this study is an array consisting of twenty items. This survey included 220 science teachers at the primary and secondary education levels. The data were obtained via descriptive statistical analysis. The results of this study indicate that, with regard to the differentiated teaching paradigm, approximately 98% of teachers have a desire and a willingness to teach the concept of differentiated instruction. The teacher ensures that differentiated instruction. A total of 70% of the teachers were able to carry out differentiated learning, and the rest did not apply the method. Interpretation of the data related to differentiated instruction, specifically 70% of the difference in instruction compared to directed instruction, can increase student learning outcomes to a greater degree. A total of 70% of the teachers differentiated learning consistently. However, almost 50% of teachers do not believe that the lessons and assignments at schools are relevant. The teacher believes that differentiated instruction can be implemented, and certain students are capable of implementing the method in differentiated instruction as well as ensuring that it can maximize the potential and results of students' learning in engaging, hands-on learning experiences.

Adopting telemedicine helped countries manage COVID-19, but it comes with several concerns including how to analyze the degree of patient satisfaction. This research explores the use of healthcare technologies to improve patient satisfaction in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aims to examine the effect of perceived telemedicine quality on patient satisfaction mediated by telemedicine satisfaction. Data was drawn from 384 responses. Data analysis was conducted utilizing PLS-SEM. The results indicate that perceived telemedicine quality has a direct effect on patient satisfaction and telemedicine satisfaction. Telemedicine satisfaction has a direct effect on patient satisfaction. Also, telemedicine satisfaction was found to have a significant mediation effect between perceived telemedicine quality and patient satisfaction. Overall, using healthcare technologies improved patient satisfaction in the DRC. Implementing educational initiatives to improve patients' and healthcare providers' digital literacy is recommended, particularly in underprivileged and rural regions. This will enable individuals to use healthcare technology, understand its benefits, and navigate the platforms. Additionally, continuous education will ensure that healthcare providers stay informed of the most recent developments and are skilled in applying them for patient care.
Beyond traditional boundaries: Exploring the jigsaw method to strengthen academic achievement in biology
Authors: Sharma Sonal , Singh Jay Prakash , Devi Pushpa 
Published: October 2024

Cooperative teaching methods have emerged as a significant paradigm shift from traditional teaching methods, highlighting notable benefits that have a profound influence on academic achievement. Guided by previous studies on cooperative teaching methods, we examined the effectiveness of teaching methods (jigsaw vs. lecture-cum-demonstration methods) on the academic achievement of biology among class 11 students. The sample comprised 68 students in class 11. In a school setting, 35 participants were randomly assigned to the experimental group, and 33 were assigned to the control group. The study utilized a quasiexperimental research design to assess the effectiveness of different teaching methods. Specifically, a nonequivalent control group design was employed, comprising one experimental group and one control group. To ensure comparability between the groups in terms of academic performance, Raven's Progressive Matrices Intelligence test score was used as a covariate. The results revealed that class 11 biology students in the experimental group had notably higher test scores than did those in the control group. Additionally, the study revealed that gender did not significantly influence academic achievement in biology for class 11 students when intelligence was used as a covariate. The academic achievement of class 11 biology students appears to be independent of the interaction between gender and method of teaching. We explicitly demonstrate that the jigsaw technique can enhance the biology achievement of senior secondary school students and can serve as an effective alternative to traditional experimental teaching methods in India.

Laceration is a condition in which the structure of body tissue is damaged as a result of the body being slashed by sharp objects such as knives, razors, or cutters. One plant that can be applied to laceration is binahong leaves (Anredera cordifolia (Ten.) steenis and red betel (Piper crocatum). This plant contains a variety of active compounds, including alkaloids, saponins, and flavonoids. This present study aims to determine the effectiveness comparsion of the formulation and the difference in optimal concentrations of binahong and red betel leaf extract ointment formulation for incision healing with concentrations of 7%, 15%, and 30%. Here, Wistar rats incision were compared with ointment extract. To assesses the healing process with length of laceration and bleeding time. Incision demonstrated the elevated length of laceration and bleeding time. In contrast, animals received ointment extract demonstrated better for length of laceration and reduced the bleeding time. Taken the ointment extract, our results suggest ointment extract binahong and red betel leaves exhibit antioxidant and increase the collagen activity which may contribute to the heal of incision.

Published: October 2024

The present study aimed to validate a Spanish-word database that elicits different levels of emotional response. To control subjects’ engagement to the stimuli, an emotional Stroop task was administered to Spanish-speaking population. In order to assess to which extent valence and emotionality are automatically processed when reading a word, participants’ reaction time was recorded as a complement of their electrodermal response. These measurements were used to rank the words into two different lists, conforming the set of Spanish-words. The reaction time to negative words were only significantly slower to reaction times of positive ones (and not to the neutral ones). We found that words with a negative emotional content elicited higher skin conductance responses (SCR) and longer reaction time than those with neutral and positive emotional content. These findings are consistent with previous literature and therefore supports word’s emotionality of the implemented database. l; Emoción, Stroop emocional; Conductancia de la piel; Población hispano-hablante.
Comprensión lectora y representación de múltiples fuentes de información en estudiantes universitarios: influencia de las discrepancias textuales sobre una tarea de producción de títulos y una tarea de reconocimiento de "quién dice qué"

Published: October 2024

We conducted an experiment to examine the assumption that discrepant text assertions influence the encoding and later recognition of the information sources supporting those assertions, as compared to consistent assertions. Forty-two undergraduates (Age M = 20, SD = 1.55) read 24 fictional stories that presented two assertions produced by two different sources (i.e., two characters in the story). Assertion discrepancy was manipulated so that each statement was consistent or discrepant with the other statement. A title production task (during reading) and a source recognition task (after reading) were used as dependent measures. Discrepant assertions promoted both the production of titles focused on the discrepancy and correct source recognition. These results suggest that discrepancies are one relevant factor to promote critical reading of multiple viewpoints in a text.
Empirismo de conceptos: Un tratamiento de la evidencia para los vehículos representacionales amodales
Authors: Olmos Andrea 
Published: October 2024

In the last decades, the empiricist theories of concepts have managed to have a certain weight in psychology and in philosophy. In this paper I intend to evaluate the empirical support that Prinz's theory of concepts (2002, 2005) possesses, according to which all concepts and cognitive processes are conveyed by modal representations. In particular, I intend to evaluate if, and to what extent, the empirical evidence cited by the empiricism of concepts is favorable to this theory and, secondly, I intend to consider the case of numerical representations, while it seems to be a case that It challenges the sufficiency of concept empiricism to account for all the phenomena that a theory of concepts should explain.

La competencia lectora refiere a la capacidad para comprender, usar y analizar textos escritos en función de objetivos. Argentina no cuenta con un instrumento que evalúe la competencia lectora en entornos digitales. Presentamos una adaptación lingüístico-cultural y validación inicial de la prueba WebLEC en una muestra de 85 universitarios (56 mujeres, 18-36 años, M = 20.4, DE= 4.6). La prueba incluye 28 ítems en cuatro escenarios (Foro, Wiki, Web joven y Motor de búsqueda). Proporciona un índice de competencia lectora en Internet, basado en tres tipos de tareas (acceso y recuperación, integración e interpretación, y reflexión y evaluación), más dos índices de navegación. Los resultados fueron favorables y sugieren que la versión adaptada de la prueba es adecuada para evaluar la lectura en entornos Web, mostrando evidencias de buena consistencia interna (α = .75), validez de convergencia y validez de grupos contrastados, p < .05.
