Published: December 2023

BackgroundCommunity pharmacists have an essential role in antimicrobial stewardship by providing self-care advice for self-limiting infections.AimTo explore community pharmacists’ perceptions and experiences of advising patients on management of acute respiratory tract infections (RTIs) and urinary tract infections (UTIs), and to explore issues regarding use of over-the-counter (OTC) medicines, including herbal medicines.Design & settingA qualitative study using semi-structured interviews with community pharmacists in England.MethodQualitative interviews with community pharmacists were carried out face to face and by telephone between November 2019 and March 2020. Data were collected through in-depth, semi-structured interviews, recorded and transcribed. A reflexive thematic analysis was undertaken.ResultsIn total, 18 community pharmacists were interviewed. Three main themes were identified. Theme 1 was self-management recommendations. Community pharmacists considered patients’ preferences when recommending self-management strategies. Some believed that conventional OTC medications had quicker and stronger effects, while others preferred herbal OTCs as a more natural approach, particularly for less severe symptoms. Theme 2 was factors influencing pharmacists’ recommendations for acute infections. This included pharmacists' perceptions of patient preferences, nature or severity of illness, research evidence, training, commercial pressures, and patient concerns about medication cost. Theme 3 was pharmacist–patient communication. Pharmacists sometimes experienced challenges with language barriers and patients’ expectations of receiving antibiotics. Pharmacists emphasised the importance of being trusted by their patients. There was widespread acceptance of their role in self-management advice for acute illness and interest in the role of herbal medicines, but pharmacists did not feel confident in recommending these.ConclusionPharmacists are central to the management of self-limiting infections. There is a need to educate the public about appropriate use of antibiotics and provide training and support for pharmacists on self-management strategies including herbal medicine.

Published: December 2023

Purpose of the study: Smart City in the city can be seen through technology, people, and financial systems that support city life. This city also strives by creating the Smart Tourism Destination concept which aims to attract and provide tourist needs by combining ICT, culture, and tourism industry in the city of Bandung.
Design/methodology: This research is carried out using a descriptive qualitative approach that is useful for testing and developing an understanding of lesser-known phenomena, and is useful for allowing the accumulation of in-depth information about the subject of the study. Data collection uses structured interviews with experts and is obtained through secondary data such as journal articles, reports, organization webpages, and policy documents that are researched to gain a broader perspective on smart city program innovation.
Findings: The study shows Bandung effectively utilizes the smart city concept for tourism, highlighting destinations like the Asian-African Museum and Bukit Bintang on the Smart City website and app. However, its technological execution, with 300 flawed applications, remains below expectation.
Research limitations/Implications: The research is restricted to a descriptive qualitative approach, which might not provide quantifiable measures of the smart city's success. The research focuses mainly on the tourism aspect of the smart city concept, potentially overlooking other critical facets of the initiative.
Novelty/Originality of the study: This study provides a unique insight into the application of the smart city concept specifically for tourism in Bandung, a relatively new endeavour started in 2016. The research bridges the gap between smart city planning and its practical impact on tourism, using Bandung as a case study.
challenges of writing an effective literature review for students and new researchers of business.
Authors: Mitchell Anthony , Rich Martin 
Published: December 2023

The literature review is a key part of a dissertation or journal paper, yet it is also one of the areas that is often the most challenging. The multidisciplinary nature of business and management studies adds to the demands of writing a critical review by deciding which theories, subject areas and texts to interrogate. There are a number of approaches that students and academics might take in writing a literature review that require a differing approach, resources and timeframe. The purpose of this conference paper is to review the literature and develop an understanding of the complexities and challenges faced both by students and new researchers in preparing journal papers. We share our experience as faculty with teaching and writing at undergraduate and postgraduate level, and identify a number of the problems typically faced. Recent trends with regard to the proliferation of open access journals are outlined, and a journal Editor addresses common mistakes that lead to poor submissions and reviews. A popular business school text is amongst those views considered. Specialist types of software for analysis associated with the complexities of Systematic literature reviews are also outlined. We close with guidelines for success and conclusions. More research is encouraged as students now have fewer opportunities to develop the skills required for critical writing.

Key words: type of literature review, critical review, systematic reviews, narrative reviews
Parental Leave as a Potential Demographic Policy Instrument in Russia: Mixed-Methods Research
Authors: Bagirova Anna , Blednova Natalia 
Published: December 2023

In many countries, parental leave is an effective demographic policy measure. Its regulation is considered an important determinant of the birth rate. In Russia, the parental leave system is not flexible; however, the legislation provides for one of the longest parental leave in the world—36 months. According to a popular stereotype in Russia, as parental leave is longer than in other countries, there is no need to debate its effectiveness. This very reason may explain a lack of parental leave research in Russia.
Our paper aims to demonstrate how mixed-methods research can be applied to study parental leave in Russia. In 2021, to analyse the problem in the Sverdlovsk Region (one of the largest), we did the following:
1) surveyed 500 parents with both children under the age of 12 and currently living parents (i.e., grandparents);
2) surveyed 500 grandparents with grandchildren under the age of 12.
In both surveys, we used river sample. To increase the randomicity of the sample, we recruited respondents using multiple channels and sampled them with equal probability into the population analysed;
3) conducted focus groups with parents having both children under the age of 12 and currently living parents and with grandparents having grandchildren under the age of 12.
Our mixed-methods research yielded the following results.

The parents surveyed view mothers as primary leave-takers. They also refer to grandmothers (most often, maternal ones) and fathers as potential leave-takers.
Grandparents’ opinions on leave-takers are also diverse; their responses vary as much as parents’ ones. However, they are more restraint in terms of their own role as potential leave-takers.
As focus groups revealed, “if a need arises”, parents are willing to delegate the right for parental leave to grandparents, who agree to take it.

Our methodology is based on the mixed-methods research strategy. It allowed us to identify social attitudes towards the existing parental leave system in Russia and to draw attention to its transformation. The results may be of use when developing new mechanisms for the Russian state demographic policy.
KPI for the Evaluation of Growth Scenarios for the Strategic Organizational Development
Authors: Budde Felix , Orth Ronald , Förster Lars 
Published: December 2023

Today's world faces constant change and increasing complexity. This also influences companies in their actions. In order to ensure growth and resilience, technology companies must innovate and strive for internal adaptability within the organization. A field of tension can be observed between the values of effectiveness and efficiency. Effective actions lead to the company and its products becoming better by doing the right things. Efficient actions allow the company and its products to become less costly by doing the things right. The expression of these values in the field of tension changes over the life cycle of a company. Strategic organizational development can thus only take place sustainably in balancing effective and efficient values.
Based on these ideas, a performance indicator model was developed to promote value balance by assigning concrete parameter to several perspectives. Balance is not a static condition, but the basis for healthy and above all sustainable growth. Without balance, too much of a good thing is done and destructive exaggerations are the result. The model takes a holistic, systemic and balancing position.
The main aim of this paper is therefore to describe the development, application and critical evaluation of this key performance indicator model to validate the underlying research methodology. The key performance indicator model is to be understood as a thought model, with the help of which the alignment of a company and its employees is to be achieved. The model is used to evaluate growth scenarios. As part of a case study, the organization, culture and environment of an exemplary company were examined with the help of representative workshops and expert interviews. The results of the status quo analysis were able to confirm the basic principles and logic of the key performance indicator system. Based on the information about the environment and organization gathered in the workshops and interviews, the KPI model was applied as an example to evaluate growth scenarios of an exemplary company.
Finally, interviews were conducted with top managers with many years of management experience to evaluate the KPI system and examine its general validity. The applicability of the KPI model could be conclusively determined for innovation-driven technology companies in the transition between the growth and maturity phase.

Published: December 2023

This study aims to determine the impact of drug abuse on social and family economics. To find out the impact of drug abuse on social and family economics in the perspective of sharia economics. The approach in this research is qualitative research. The subjects in this study are drug users and one of the family members of users and also members of the management of the Baitu Syifa Medan Drug Rehabilitation Institute. The data source of this research is an interview conducted to the head of the household or family members who use drugs. The data collection techniques are observation method, interview method, documentation method, triangulation. Data analysis is an effort to find and organize systematically the records of observation, interviews, by means of data reduction, data display (presentation of data), data conclusion and data verification. The impact of drug abuse on social family. The results showed that the impact of drug abuse on social indicators, namely user education and user families, concluded that both informants had completed their college education before falling into using drugs. Or it can be interpreted that they used drugs when they were already in the work environment. From a psychological point of view, this can be seen from the divorce that occurred, while the psychological impact on parents and other families is to feel depressed and frightened due to changes in the behavior of users who are very aggressive and temperamental. The impact of drug abuse on the family economy is that the three informants interviewed are all unproductive and can no longer work properly, especially since all informants have been using drugs for a very long time. HI only works twice a week, AM can no longer work. Informant S, because he owns a dental clinic business inherited from his family, can still be said to be able to work but because he is dependent on consuming 4 times a week, S also has a history of heart disease due to consuming drugs so that it will interfere with his work productivity. In the perspective of Islamic economics, every family must ensure the welfare of its family members by fulfilling their every need both in terms of social, economic, and spiritual aspects. However, a person's involvement in drug abuse will damage their economic security so that they cannot provide welfare to their family members. Users will spend their income to buy drugs so that they cannot fulfill their personal needs, borrow money from parents and relatives, and even have to pawn some of their property because they are very dependent.
Bien común: la relevancia del pensamiento económico de Alberto Hurtado en el Chile actual
Authors: Morales - Torres Patricio , Astudillo Astudillo Jesús 
Published: December 2023

La complejidad del Chile de hoy permite reflexionar sobre la vigencia del discurso de Alberto Hurtado, concretamente en la situación social y económica presente, a la luz de su obra ¿Es Chile un país católico?, de 1941. Esta surge en el contexto de una polarización ideológica que trajo impactos políticos y sociales a consecuencia de la transición del régimen parlamentario al presidencialista. Este enfrentamiento llevó incluso a la prevalencia de la violencia armada sobre las ideas, como resultado de la falta de acuerdos políticos, acompañada de problemáticas económicas internacionales, lo que generó malestar en la vida pública. La gobernanza se vio restringida por la lucha partidista, según una dinámica en la que los partidos competían por el poder con artimañas y promesas incumplidas, lo que Hurtado llamó “politiquería”.
De ahí que la figura de Alberto Hurtado cobra una relevancia significativa, ya que emerge en un contexto en el que principalmente son los grupos oligárquicos los que toman posesión del Estado, estableciéndose acuerdos que redundaban en beneficio de sí mismos, sin atención a la miseria de la gran población chilena; esta situación distaba de los principios, valores y enseñanzas de la Iglesia, que no lograban permear a las élites ni incidir en las condiciones laborales y la economía de la época. Uno de los principales problemas detectados por el jesuita se relacionaba con el consumo ostentoso de bienes y servicios por parte de las personas que tenían acceso a ellos, situación que lo llevó a cuestionar los valores católicos de la sociedad de su tiempo. Hoy, en el Chile de 2023, surge la pregunta: ¿cuál sería la conducta ideal que debería adoptar un católico en el ámbito económico?
Este artículo busca ofrecer una perspectiva basada en el pensamiento de Alberto Hurtado, considerando cómo su visión de la economía y de la ética de los negocios podría hacer un aporte al bien común en el Chile de hoy. Con este fin, no nos adentramos en aspectos económicos y técnicos de manera exhaustiva desde Hurtado, pues no es el fin que el santo jesuita perseguía en su tiempo.
The Breakthrough Listen Search for Intelligent Life: Detection and Characterization of Anomalous Transits in Kepler Lightcurves
Authors: Zuckerman Anna , Davenport James R. A. , Croft Steve , Siemion Andrew , de Pater Imke 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Never before has the detection and characterization of exoplanets via transit photometry been as promising and feasible as it is now, due to the increasing breadth and sensitivity of time domain optical surveys. Past works have made use of phase-folded stellar lightcurves in order to study the properties of exoplanet transits because this provides the highest signal that a transit is present at a given period and ephemeris. Characterizing transits on an individual, rather than phase-folded, basis is much more challenging due to the often low signal-to-noise ratio of lightcurves, missing data, and low sampling rates. However, by phase folding a lightcurve we implicitly assume that all transits have the same expected properties, and lose all information about the nature and variability of the transits. We miss the natural variability in transit shapes, or even the deliberate or inadvertent modification of transit signals by an extraterrestrial civilization (for example, via laser emission or orbiting megastructures). In this work, we develop an algorithm to search stellar lightcurves for individual anomalous (in timing or depth) transits, and we report the results of that search for 218 confirmed transiting exoplanet systems from Kepler.

Published: December 2023

Abstract
We present detailed analyses of updated eclipse timing diagrams for 32 contact binary merger candidates in the Galactic bulge. The photometric data was obtained from 2016 to 2021 using the Korea Microlensing Telescope Network with the 1.6 m telescopes located at three southern sites (CTIO, SAAO, and SSO). The times of minimum lights were determined by applying the binary-star model to full light curves created at half-year intervals from the observations. The orbital period variations of the binary systems were analyzed using the O − C diagrams from our new timings with the others published in the literature, which are based on the OGLE observations from 2001 to 2015. As results, the orbital periods and period-decreasing rates of 32 binary systems were located to be in the ranges of 0.370 to 1.238 days and from −3.0 to −13.1 × 10−6 day yr−1, respectively. Out of these stars, 24 systems show a combination effect of a parabola and a light travel time caused by a third body, and their outer orbital periods are in the range of 9.1–26.5 yr. We propose that all of our merger candidates need additional monitoring observations to study a luminous-red nova progenitor.
High-energy Radiation and Ion Acceleration in Three-dimensional Relativistic Magnetic Reconnection with Strong Synchrotron Cooling
Authors: Chernoglazov Alexander , Hakobyan Hayk , Philippov Alexander 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
We present the results of 3D particle-in-cell simulations that explore relativistic magnetic reconnection in pair plasma with strong synchrotron cooling and a small mass fraction of nonradiating ions. Our results demonstrate that the structure of the current sheet is highly sensitive to the dynamic efficiency of radiative cooling. Specifically, stronger cooling leads to more significant compression of the plasma and magnetic field within the plasmoids. We demonstrate that ions can be efficiently accelerated to energies exceeding the plasma magnetization parameter, ≫σ, and form a hard power-law energy distribution, f

i
∝ γ
−1. This conclusion implies a highly efficient proton acceleration in the magnetospheres of young pulsars. Conversely, the energies of pairs are limited to either σ in the strong cooling regime or the radiation burnoff limit, γ
syn, when cooling is weak. We find that the high-energy radiation from pairs above the synchrotron burnoff limit, ε

c
≈ 16 MeV, is only efficiently produced in the strong cooling regime, γ
syn < σ. In this regime, we find that the spectral cutoff scales as ε
cut ≈ ε

c
(σ/γ
syn) and the highest energy photons are beamed along the direction of the upstream magnetic field, consistent with the phenomenological models of gamma-ray emission from young pulsars. Furthermore, our results place constraints on the reconnection-driven models of gamma-ray flares in the Crab Nebula.
