Authors: Arjun Kumar Dahal , Prem Bahadur Budhathoki , Ganesh Bhattarai 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
This study aims to investigate the influence of political stability, unemployment, and income inequality on the economic growth of Nepal while also exploring the reciprocal impact of economic growth, unemployment, and political stability on income inequality within the country. It only uses secondary data from various World Bank reports and Nepal's economic surveys. It only covers 32 data points spanning from 1991 to 2022. The descriptive and exploratory research designs are used in this study. Simple statistical tools like correlation analysis, Unstandardized and standardized regression analysis, analysis of variance (ANOVA), residual statistics, histogram, and scatterplot for residual analysis are used in this analysis. Unemployment has negative and political stability positively impacts economic growth in Nepal. One percent increase in unemployment results in a 1.920 percent decrease in economic growth. Likewise, one percent increase in the political stability index results in a 0.804 percent increase in economic growth in Nepal. Unemployment hurts more on economic growth than income inequality in Nepal. Unemployment, political stability, and GDP growth are individually and jointly affected by income inequality in the nation. Political stability and economic growth decrease income inequality, but unemployment increases income inequality in the Nepalese economy. One unit increase in the political stability index and economic growth results in -4.356 and -0.117 unit decrease in income inequality in Nepal. The political stability index has a multiplier effect in decreasing income inequality. Unemployment causes income inequality. One unit increase in unemployment results in a 1.121 unit increase in income inequality. Unemployment has a multiplier effect on income determination in Nepal. About 39.7 percent variation in economic growth is determined by political stability, unemployment, and income inequality, but 46.7 percent in income inequality is determined by unemployment, economic growth, and political stability. Policymakers should consider a holistic approach that addresses income inequality, unemployment, and political stability to foster sustainable and inclusive economic growth.

Abstract
The present study explores the impact of different leadership styles on the effective motivation of employees and hence on increasing organizational performance. Starting from the premise that a leadership style can play a crucial role in determining the level of employee motivation engagement and satisfaction, this research focuses on identifying the link between leadership style and employees work outcomes. In the specialized literature, leadership styles are frequently discussed in the context of employee motivation. By applying a mixed methodology, which combines quantitative analysis of survey data with qualitative case studies, the research aims to provide an in-depth understanding of how these leadership styles directly influence employee motivation and, indirectly, their performance. The results are expected to show a significant correlation between employee-oriented leadership styles and high levels of motivation, suggesting that leaders who adopt a more involved and supportive approach can significantly improve organizational performance. This research contributes to the existing literature by providing empirical evidence that underscores the importance of adopting appropriate leadership styles to maximize employee potential and optimize organizational outcomes. The findings provide valuable insights for organizational leaders and HR practitioners in developing effective leadership strategies to promote a motivating and high-performing work environment.

Abstract
Destination marketing is a complex process that involves creating a unique identity for a location, which is essential for attracting visitors and promoting the destination. This identity is created through a comprehensive branding approach beyond just creating logos. Instead, it involves a 360-degree holistic approach that considers the destination's heritage, values, and other key elements that make it stand out from other locations. Once the destination's brand has been established, it forms the foundation of all marketing activities to promote the location and attract new visitors. All content and messages should be aligned with the destination's brand identity to ensure consistency and maximum impact. The brand of a destination is crucial to its success, and this is especially true for Romanian tourism. This is why we are highly motivated to develop a comprehensive branding model that will help establish a strong brand identity for Romanian tourism. This model will be based on careful research and analysis of the unique characteristics of Romanian tourism, including its heritage, values, and other key elements that make it a popular destination for visitors.

Abstract
The emergence of new technologies, especially artificial intelligence (AI), disrupts the functioning of organizations on many levels (processes, organization, strategy, communication, finance, etc.). These changes particularly affect the managerial function at the heart of organizations. AI is changing many aspects of managers' work, such as planning, organizing and monitoring work, as well as human resource management, including recruiting, training and developing employees.
Technological advances, including AI, have profoundly influenced project management, leading to significant changes in the way projects are planned, organized, and monitored. Artificial intelligence is playing an increasingly important role in project management, providing managers with useful tools and data for decision-making and resource optimization. This can bring efficiency and precision to project management, helping to achieve set goals more effectively.
The use of these new work tools that make it possible to improve the efficiency of tasks calls into question the existing management practices and requires an upgrade of the skills of managers so that they can fulfill their mission. In addition to the technical skills essential to handling new technological tools, managers must demonstrate emotional intelligence and openness to fulfill their role. Indeed, the introduction of new AI technologies within organizations can have direct and indirect effects on the work of managers. On the one hand, they have to adapt to the technologies that target their own tasks. On the other hand, they need to adapt their management methods to support their employees in the digital transformation that affects other aspects of the organization's operation. In this article, we first outline the main AI technologies used in the managerial field, followed by the advantages and potential these technologies offer to organizations. We then focus on the changes in the role and responsibilities of managers and the new skills they need to develop to succeed in their new work environment. The last part of the article addresses the challenges and problems that the application of these technologies raises in relation to the managerial profession.

Published: July 2024

OBJECTIVE: To determine if maladaptive imaging beliefs correlated with, and predicted pain interference and physical function outcomes in people with musculoskeletal pain disorders. DESIGN: A prospective cohort study of patients with musculoskeletal disorders receiving outpatient physical therapy from April 2022 to August 2023. METHODS: Four questions about imaging were asked to assess maladaptive beliefs, the need to rule out serious conditions, guide treatment, determine diagnosis, and validate symptoms. Correlations with beliefs and outcomes were assessed using Kendall’s tau rank and Spearman’s rho correlation coefficients. Generalized linear models determined if these beliefs predicted outcomes at baseline and 6 weeks. RESULTS: The cohort included 152 participants (mean [standard deviation] age: 56.13 [15.13]; 32.2% male). Maladaptive imaging beliefs correlated positively with pain interference and negatively with physical function. The need to rule out serious conditions and validate symptoms correlated with pain interference (range: τb = 0.17, 0.20; P = .003, .0121) and physical function (range: ρ = −0.22, −0.22; P = .006, .008). All but 1 belief correlated with pain interference (range: τb = 0.19, 0.24; P<.001, .004) and physical function (range: ρ = −0.26, −0.21; P = .001, .009) at 6 weeks. Each additional belief slightly increased pain interference at 6 weeks ( β = 0.01; 95% CI: 0.001, 0.03; P = .04) and lowered physical function at both baseline ( β = −0.97; 95% CI: −1.66, −0.28; P = .01) and 6 weeks ( β = −0.76; 95% CI: −1.37, −0.15; P = .02). CONCLUSION: Maladaptive imaging beliefs were significantly (albeit weakly) correlated with pain and physical function. Each additional maladaptive imaging belief increased pain interference at 6 weeks and lowered physical function at baseline and 6 weeks. Beliefs about the necessity of imaging to properly manage musculoskeletal disorders may influence outcomes. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2024;54(9):608-617.

Physicians’ Perceived Barriers and Willingness to Initiate Advance Care Planning with Young Adults Living with Cardiometabolic Diseases
Authors: Ekore Rabi Ilemona , Ekore John Oselenbalu , Mohammed Hany Ramadan 
Published: July 2024

Objectives:
The current global practice is to plan for the end-of-life period of persons already terminally ill with chronic diseases. However, affected persons should not have to wait till the stage of terminal illness to begin making plans for future healthcare preferences. This pilot study explored perceived barriers to and willingness of physicians to initiate discussions on advance care planning (ACP) with young adults living with cardiometabolic diseases.

Materials and Methods:
The study was the pilot phase of descriptive cross-sectional research conducted among primary care physicians practising in Kuwait. Pilot data was collected with an electronic version of the modified DECIDE questionnaire (adapted from the “DECIsion-making about goals of care for hospitalized ElDErly patients” study) from February to April 2023. Data were analysed with Google Sheets.

Results:
Nine out of 22 participants exited the study early on grounds of non-familiarity with the concept of ACP. Thirteen responses were analysed and reported herein. The mean age of the participants was 44.2 (±7.9) years; eight were male and five were female; five were Hindu, 7 Muslim, and 2 Christian. Perceived barriers to initiating ACP discussions included lack of knowledge about ACP and its relationship to ACP and goals of care discussions (8), lack of knowledge about the legal status of ACP documents in Kuwait (11), religious disapproval (12), lack of knowledge about how to elicit values, beliefs, preferences related to end-of-life care (13) and fear that these conversations will diminish hope in patients with serious illness (12), among others. Twelve participants were willing to initiate discussions and exchange information with young adult patients. Twelve participants indicated that they were confident about initiating discussions and exchanging ACP information, had all not taken any extra training or certification in ACP, but, respectively, described their current level of skill in having ACP discussions and supporting patients in the finalisation of their advance care plans as limited (2), fair (3), average (4), very good (3) and expert (1).

Conclusion:
Despite the low level of awareness and other factors perceived as barriers, the primary care physicians who participated in the study were confident and willing to initiate ACP discussions with young adults living with cardiometabolic diseases. With the generally reported lack of previous training in ACP, there might be a need for coordinated efforts in training or up-skilling on knowledge and practice of ACP among primary care physicians.

В статье рассмотрено совершенствование технологии ГРП для повышения технологической и экономической эффективности данного метода за счет снижения выноса проппанта из трещины вместе с добываемой продукцией. Показано, что если снижение продуктивности скважин после ГРП из-за падения пластового давления может быть стабилизировано или восстановлено за счет системы ППД, то влияние на этот процесс выноса проппанта фактически не поддается воздействию. Предложен целевой фонд скважин для проведения термозакрепления для достижения оптимальных показателей работы скважин после ГРП.
This paper discusses improvement of hydraulic fracturing technology through reducing proppant flowback. It has been shown that reduced well deliverability after frac jobs due to reservoir pressure decline can be stabilized or restored through reservoir pressure maintenance systems. However, decreased well productivity due to proppant flowback can hardly be recovered. Use of resin systems or resin-coated proppant has been proposed in a number of wells to prevent proppant flowback for efficient fractured well operation

В статье описан способ увеличения ресурса нефтяного центробежного многоступенчатого насоса за счет изменения его конструкции путем замены подшипника качения в полевом подшипниковом узле на подшипник скольжения. В этом случае уменьшается расстояние между опорами насоса, что увеличивает устойчивость ротора насоса, повышается герметичность и безопасность эксплуатации насоса. Приведен обзор применяемых современных материалов для изготовления вкладышей подшипников скольжения и их анализ. Особое внимание уделено подшипнику скольжения с вкладышем из резины, так как в этом случае происходит дополнительное демпфирование колебании ротора насоса. На основании анализа зависимостей виброскорости от вынуждающих частот колебаний для резиновых смесей с разным содержанием в их компонентном составе техуглерода даны рекомендации по подбору компонентного состава резиновой смеси в зависимости от необходимой рабочей частоты вращения ротора насоса.
This paper describes a method to increase multistage centrifugal pump life due to alternating its design by replacing a rolling bearing in the outboard bearing assembly with a friction type bearing. In this case, distance between pump support assemblies reduces, which results in enhanced pump rotor stability and improved pump leak integrity and safety. A review of the existing advanced materials that are used for manufacturing of friction bearing liners is presented in this paper. Particular attention is given to a friction bearing with a rubber liner, in which case pump rotor vibrations are damped to a greater extent. Based on the analysis of vibration velocity versus oscillation frequency relationships for rubber compositions with varying carbon content, some guidelines are provided for selecting rubber composition in terms of the required pump speed.

Проанализированы опубликованные материалы по микросейсмическому мониторингу гидравлического разрыва пласта в Татарстане. Проведено сравнение с результатами зарубежных и отечественных исследований в других регионах. Сделаны следующие выводы: 1. Поле горизонтальных напряжений на глубинах 1400 – 1700 м практически изотропно. 2. В этих условиях техногенные трещины будут развиваться по направлениям естественных трещин, образуя зону трещиноватости. 3. Расширение зоны трещиноватости продолжается и после прекращения закачки жидкости в скважину. 4. В дальнейшем необходимо проводить микросейсмический мониторинг с целью калибровки показателя сложного напластования и критического напряжения.
This paper reviews publications on microseismic monitoring of hydraulic fracturing operations performed in Tatarstan fields. Results of foreign and domestic research in other regions have been compared. The following conclusions have been made: 1. Horizontal stress field at a depth of 1400-1700 m is almost isotropic. 2. Under such conditions, the induced fractures tend to propagate along the direction of natural fractures, thus generating a fractured zone. 3. Expansion of the fractured zone continues after the injection stops. 4. It is necessary to perform microseismic monitoring for proving complex stratification and critical stress parameters.
