Navigating waiting situations at retail checkouts: associated emotional discomfort and its impact on shopping satisfaction
Authors: Pallikkara Vinish , Pinto Prakash , Thonse Hawaldar Iqbal 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Waiting is a ubiquitous constituent of many purchase situations. This research investigates the emotional discomfort experienced by customers visiting retail stores in India throughout the checkout process, focusing on three distinct phases: before joining the queue, while waiting, and during billing. The study examines the circumstances and underlying factors that lead to emotional discomfort among customers while they wait at the checkout counter. A cross-sectional survey involving 385 participants was undertaken to evaluate perceptions related to the waiting experience. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was utilized to validate the conceptual model. The study uncovers diverse contributors to emotional discomfort during queueing, such as extended wait times, physical constraints, and perceived time prolongation, highlighting the multifaceted nature of this experience. Notably, the absence of a significant link between emotional discomfort and overall satisfaction implies that, while emotional discomfort is a factor, other elements such as pricing, promotions, and product offerings may exert a more significant influence on customers’ comprehensive satisfaction assessments. The research makes a significant contribution by shedding light on the challenges associated with prolonged waiting times at checkout counters in multi-brand food and grocery retailers. The results provide valuable insights into the emotional experiences of customers during waits and their impact on overall shopping satisfaction.

Abstract
The improvements in connectivity, artificial intelligence, and automation and their increasing penetration into all aspects of society and economy require informed decisions based on rigorous research on the determinants and outcomes of the digital economy. This context has promoted policy incentives dedicated to the digital transformation of business models and societal settings with a potential to disrupt existing markets and form a backbone of future development. The interest in digital economy and the research domains strongly connected to it has generated a wide array of terms that created confusion over its theoretical foundations. Several bibliometric analyses in recent years have attempted to map scientific findings and provide guidelines for future research in this area. However, such analyses draw their conclusions from algorithms that focus on attributes common to all studies without looking at their content. Our study combines bibliometric and in-depth content analyses to shed light on the definition, theoretical underpinnings, and state of the art of research on the digital economy. Our findings show that research in this domain is still in its infancy and the stated focus of studies on digital economy is often not reflected in their content. The study design allows us to make an original contribution by more precisely identifying gaps in the existing knowledge, outlining a detailed research agenda, and providing guidelines for future studies as well as informed policy decisions based on rigorous research on the determinants and outcomes of the digital economy.

Abstract
The purpose of the study was to examine the organizational strategy and tools of employee well-being, as perceived by employees. Although improving physical, mental, and social conditions of employees have positive impact on economic performance and competitiveness of organizations, little is known about how employee wellbeing appears in human resource management strategy and practices of organizations. Few research is available examining the adaptability of well-being strategy and tools from the perspective of employees as stakeholders. Therefore, the methodology of the current study was an exploratory sequential mixed method, with an embedded case study. Qualitative exploratory phase consisted of 27 semi-structured interviews with human resource management experts of Hungarian and international for-profit organizations. The results supported the definition for selection criteria of case study sampling and the design of a research tool for the quantitative phase. In the case study, interviews and quantitative research were conducted at the selected organization. The self-developed questionnaire included the Workplace PERMA Profile, reflecting the five pillars of well-being: Positive emotions, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and Accomplishment. The questionnaire has been filled out by 222 employees. The data integration results explored that the well-being is less characterized by a strategic approach, despite its importance defined by respondents. Employee perception analysis has led to the creation of employee well-being profiles, mapping organizational tools supporting employee satisfaction, and highlighting the inconsistences of organizational strategy and employee perceptions. The results could contribute to further studies and development of human resource management practices to improve employee well-being by directing the focus on its growing importance in economic and labor competitiveness.
Financial Performance Among Top10 Automotive Leaders in the EU: Essential Techniques to Investigate the Structure of Moments While Using the GMM with Dynamic Panel Data
Authors: Heryán Tomáš , Růčková Petra , Cerulli Giovanni 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
The automotive industry is widely considered to be crucial for the economy, as it reflects economic development in general. Despite interest in financial performance, few studies have considered paying attention to the ownership structure among stockholders. Hence, the study aims to find out how the degree of ownership concentration, measured through the independence indicator of the Bureau van Dijk, is reflected in the financial management of companies in the automotive industry among selected European countries. The generalized method of moments (GMM) technique is widely used while investigating panel data with a short estimating period, i.e. nine years annually in this case. However, this study reveals that, without deploying techniques, subsequently introduced a modified version of GMM estimators with panel data by providing an implementation using Stata statistical software. Otherwise, these particular econometric tools to analyze a dynamic panel can often give false significant estimates. Overall, liquidity seems to be significant in the case of firms with less concentrated ownership, whereas companies with a major owner are affected more by selected macroeconomic variables.

Abstract
The main goals of the study were to examine how transformational leadership affected organizational citizenship behavior, worker productivity, and employee job satisfaction in Indonesian Small- and Medium-Sized Enterprise (SME) settings. The study used a quantitative technique and included 295 people as samples. Since Indonesia is a multi-cultural nation, responses were gathered from employees in multiple cities. Data was gathered via online and print surveys and was then analyzed using SPSS 23 and Smart PLS Software. The findings of this study point to a clear, positive, and substantial relationship between transformational leadership and worker job satisfaction, organizational citizenship behavior, and work performance. Additionally, to job satisfaction and organizational citizenship, it has been shown that employee job performance is somewhat mediated by employee behavior. This is the first paper in the setting of Indonesian SMEs that looks at the impact of transformational leadership on employee job performance after job satisfaction and organizational citizenship behavior.
Bio-Objectification and Biobanks
Authors: Karastergiou Anestis 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Bio-objectification is presented in this paper along with a discussion about the boundaries of life in the biomedicalization paradigm, including the biobanking processes that are crucial to the emergence of bio-objects. Regarding methods and materials, STS methodology is implemented and the actor networks that play a significant role to bio-objectification are investigated. The discussion follows through these lens on how bio-objects are co-produced through a multitude of sociotechnical factors, reflecting on how the emergence of bio-objects and the concept of life that stems from them are socially constructed. The standardization of biobanks, population construction through a co-production of technosocial factors, the momentariness of bio-objectification, and the concept of bio-identification are presented and critically reflected upon. The main purpose is to combine a philosophical perspective with an STS one regarding the issue of shifting the boundaries of life through the concept of bio-objectification.

Published: July 2024

In the past pharmacovigilance happened 174 years back. In 1848, a little girl (Hannah Greener) died due to chloroform anesthetic before the elimination of an infected toenail. The reason for death was investigated, probably girl died of a lethal arrhythmia or pulmonary aspiration. There were 107 deaths occurred in the USA in 1937, for the reason that of the use of sulfanilamide elixir formulation prepared with the solvent used as a diethyl glycol. In 1938, In 1961, happened the thalidomide disaster. Dr. McBride investigated this disaster; he investigated that the 1.5% incidence of congenital malformations in babies had greater than before up to 20% in women who had taken thalidomide medicine for medical treatment during pregnancy. The WHO Programme for International Drug Monitoring (PIDM) was launched by WHO in 1968, after the thalidomide disaster major changed the system of pharmacovigilance globally, necessary to establish national systems for spontaneous ADR monitoring and reporting after consumer use. To conduct a retrospective observational study of adverse drug reactions for inpatient and outpatient in the different clinical departments in a tertiary care hospital. In the present study, a total of 749 adverse drug reaction reporting forms were reported out of which 990 ADRs occurred in 749 patients (inpatients n=502,67.02% and outpatients n=247,32.97%). The overall incidence of ADR was found0.0194%. At least one ADR was recorded in 0.25% of the admitted patients (IPD) and in 0.0067% of the outdoor patients (OPD). In this study male to female ratio was (60.0%) & (40.0%). A total of (82.62%) of ADRs were found nonserious as compared to serious (17.37%). The majority of the ADRs were reported as gastrointestinal system disorders, type-A (60.40%), probable (86.0%), mild (52.72%), preventable (definitely 67.87% and probably 24.24%). Predisposing factors were associated with age (24.14%), polypharmacy (68.38%), and multiple and intercurrent diseases (15.75%). The studies concluded that most adverse drug reactions involved gastrointestinal system disorders and are mild, preventable, and have a probable causality relationship with the suspected drug. ADR monitoring systems monitor unlisted ADRs and other drug-associated problems that have not been recorded during a clinical trial and prior to regulatory authorities to identify signals of new and suspected unexpected unknown ADRs.

Published: July 2024

Gastroretentive drug delivery with delayed release of propranolol hydrochloride for chronotherapy of hypertension was formulated. The drug delivery in the form of compression coated tablet was developed using Indian Pharmacopoeia grade hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose K100M and carbopol 934P as matrix forming polymers and polyvinyl pyrrolidone K30 as channelling agent. Drug-excipient compatibility study revealed no interaction between drug and the excipients. Prepared tablets were evaluated for floating lag time, total floating time and lag time before drug release. Drug delivery was optimized by using 32 full factorial design. The concentrations of matrix forming polymers were selected as independent variables whereas lag time before drug release, drug release at 8, 12 and 20 h were selected as response variables. Tablets of optimized batch F5 containing 25% hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose K100M and 9% polyvinyl pyrrolidone K30 exhibited the maximum similarity with predicted drug release profile for an ideal formulation with similarity factor of 80.69. The lag time before drug release (5 h), drug release at 8 h (27.39%), 12 h (49.48%) and 20 h (86.69%) of optimized batch were close to predicted drug release profile for an ideal formulation. Drug release from optimized batch followed zero order kinetics with super case II transport. Optimized formulation was stable for 1 mo at environmental conditions of 40±2°C temperature and 75±5% relative humidity. Prepared drug delivery of propranolol hydrochloride may be useful to provide sustained drug release for 24 h at the site of absorption for chronotherapy of hypertension.
EFFECT OF DAIDZEIN, NARINGENIN AND ICARIIN ON CISPLATIN-INDUCED NEPHROTOXICITY IN EXPERIMENTAL MICE
Authors: Jadon Arvind Singh , Sharma Manoj 
Published: July 2024

Cisplatin is one of the most widely used and most potent chemotherapy drugs. However, side effects in normal tissues and organs, notably nephrotoxicity in the kidneys, limit the use of cisplatin and related platinum-based therapeutics. Renoprotective approaches are being discovered, but the protective effects are mostly partial, suggesting the need for combinatorial strategies. The cytoprotective efficacy of Daidzein, Naringenin, and Icariin against Cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity in female Swiss mice was examined in this work. All animals were divided into two sets i.e. pre-cisplatin (BA) and post-cisplatin (AA) administration and treated with Daidzein, Naringenin, and Icariin. Nephrotoxicity was assessed by body weight and biochemical parameters i.e. Serum Creatinine, Urea, uric acid During this study body weight of the experimental animal changed by 5% maximum observed in both sets. Biochemical tests of kidney showed that pre-treated and post-treated with Daidzein groups were most effective against nephrotoxicity. These findings are also confirmed by histopathology. The study has proven that pre-treatment with flavonoids was found more effective against cisplatin-induced cytotoxicity as compared to post-treatment.

SARS Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic has shown a devastating effect worldwide. More than 1.62 million people have lost their life due to this dangerous virus and it has become one of the major concerns worldwide. It has become an emerging global issue concerning different scientific communities. Here an attempt has been made to develop a vaccine against the SARS-CoV-2 virus using epitope-based subunit vaccines and reverse vaccinology and immunoinformatics methods. With the help of computational experimentations and multi-epitope-based drug designing studies, we have successfully designed 5 different vaccine structures which were further analyzed for insilco toxicity as well as molecular interaction studies. Significant interacting candidates were further subjected to insilco immuno simulation for the data point of about a year time. This work could provide new hope for development of effective vaccine in the face of global threat arising from the emerging virus.
Evaluation of Anti-Urolithiatic activity of Bougainvillea spectabilis Wild. Against Sodium Oxalate-Induced nephrolithiasis in rats
Authors: DAS PRABHAT KUMAR , VAGHELA JAI SINGH 
Published: July 2024

As there is no effective treatment for kidney stones, the development and progression of renal calculi continue to be a cause for concern despite developments in contemporary medicine. In the current study, the anti-urolithiasis activity of Bougainvillea spectabilis Willd. against sodium oxalate (NaOx)-induced urolithiasis in rats was studied. Leaves of B. spectabilis were extracted with various solvents, i.e., petroleum ether, chloroform, ethyl acetate, ethanol, and water. Albino wistar male rats were divided into five groups of six animals each. All groups except the positive control were treated intraperitoneally with sodium oxalate (70 mg/kg) for 10 days. Treatment with the standard drug cystone (5 mL/kg), ethanol, and aqueous extracts (200 mg/kg) was given to the respective groups for 10 days of study. On the 10th day, serum creatinine, calcium, uric acid, blood urea nitrogen, urine calcium, oxalate, and uric acid levels were estimated, along with urine microscopy to confirm crystals. Kidneys were isolated and used for histopathological studies. The results suggested that the administration of B. spectabilis to rats with sodium oxalate-induced lithiasis reduced and prevented the formation of urinary stones. Also, the treatment of lithiasis-induced rats with the toxic control drug and extracts of B. spectabilis restored all the elevated urine and serum biochemical parameters, including creatinine, calcium, oxalate, uric acid, and blood urea nitrogen, and significantly increased the urine volume. The histopathology showed depositions of a large number of calcium oxalate crystals in the kidney in the calculi-induced group with enlargement of glomeruli and necrosis of tubules, while in the standard and extract-treated groups, small and fewer deposits were seen with the recovered architecture of the kidney tubules. The result indicates the anti-urolithiasis activity of B. spectabilis mediated possibly by the presence of flavonoids, calcium oxalate crystal inhibitors, and antioxidant properties which maintain the balance between stone promoters and inhibitors constituents and this study rationalized its medicinal use in urolithiasis.

The diction or terms used in the 2024 presidential election battle are some deliberately coined, while others emerge inadvertently, which can lead to multiple interpretations and meanings. Candidate pairs and, on the other hand, can also decrease electability in the political atmosphere. This study aims to analyze popular diction in the 2024 presidential election, both from social media and the bustling reality in society. This research employs a qualitative descriptive research design with the assistance of data collection methods such as observation, documentation, and literature review. The analytical tool used is Discourse Analysis. The results of this study indicate that the most popular diction often contains meanings that, when dissected using critical discourse analysis, reveal several perspectives related to the significance of the diction. Terms such as "slepet", "samsul", "cawe-cawe", are the most popular diction that influences both social media and the real world. Many posts are inspired by the diction of the 2024 presidential election, which certainly contains certain political meanings. The choice of diction or language by a leader figure greatly determines the process of garnering votes. Recorded in the diction that emerges in the presidential election, this diction can become an advertisement in another form that contributes to increasing electability.
