HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PRACTICES AND ORGANISATIONAL COMMITMENT IN THE HOTEL INDUSTRY OF GHANA: THE MEDIATING ROLE OF JOB SATISFACTION
Authors: Musah Faisal 
Published: January 2025

This study investigated the mediating role of job satisfaction in the relationship between HRM practices and organisational commitment in the hotel industry of Ghana. The study collected primary data from 21 hotels within the New Juaben North and South municipalities. The study population comprised 433 hotel employees within the municipalities. A total of 208 participants were selected using the simple random sampling method and structured questionnaires were administered to the chosen respondents. The study employed a quantitative approach and adopted the explanatory research design. The data gathered were analysed using Smart PLS-SEM 4. The findings indicated that, the relationship between recruitment and organisational commitment is statistically insignificant. Furthermore, job satisfaction does not have a mediating effect on the relationship between recruitment and organisational commitment and training and organisational commitment among hotel employees. However, it is worth noting that job satisfaction has mediation effect in the relationship between compensation and organisational commitment in the hotel industry of Ghana. The study concluded that merely attracting and selecting candidates through the recruitment process may not directly translate into higher levels of commitment within the hotel industry and recommends that management of hotels should utilize behavioural interviews that assess candidates not only for skills but also for their alignment with the hotel values and culture. This approach helps ensure that new hires are more likely to integrate well into the existing team and stay committed in the long term.

Abstract
Introduction
Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) affects the jaw and muscles, often linked to stress, anxiety, and sleep issues. Comprehensive care addressing physical and psychological factors improves outcomes.
ObjectiveThis study proposed a multidisciplinary approach (psychologists, dentists, and physical therapists) to treat these conditions with non-pharmacological techniques, aiming for a more effective and personalized treatment.
MethodThe research was conducted at the Sacomã Basic Health Unit in São Paulo, Brazil, and included 12 healthcare professionals in an active intervention and 6 patients as a control group during 1 month. The intervention consisted of four weekly one-hour sessions and home therapies sent via WhatsApp, utilizing stretching, mindfulness, thermotherapy, self-massage, and cognitive-behavioral therapy. Participants completed pre- and post-intervention questionnaires on depression (PHQ-9), anxiety (GAD-7), bruxism (OBC), and pain (GCPS and Pain Drawing).
ResultsThe interventions resulted in significant reductions in the PHQ-9 (p=0.028), GAD-7 (p=0.039), OBC (p=0.015), and PD (p=0.016) scales, demonstrating the positive impact of group dynamics. Additionally, there was a decrease in pain and an improvement in the quality of life of the participants.
ConclusionDespite sample limitations, the data indicate that multidisciplinary interventions can effectively manage TMD, resulting in reduced pain and associated symptoms. The approach showed potential to improve patients' quality of life, highlighting the importance of integrated and personalized treatment. Future studies with larger samples and extended follow-up are necessary to validate these findings and expand the applicability of the
River and Society in Northern Italy
Authors: Panato Marco 
Published: January 2025

This book considers for the first time the relationship between the river environment and the economic and political structures of northern Italy in the post-Roman period. Through the study of the relationship between river and society over time, it shows how the Carolingian conquest and other major political events in northern Italy did not seem to introduce radical changes in the daily life or broad economic systems. In fact, ecological circuits, local networks, family strategies and monastic policies seem to have been equal factors that shaped the relationship between river and society.
This monograph offers an innovative approach to the study of the early Middle Ages, integrating social sciences, historical records, archaeological and geoenvironmental data analyses to overcome the lack of written and material sources. These new integrated perspectives on the post-Roman world shed light on the relationship between humans and their environment and on the social complexity of the riverscape, topics not yet fully investigated in the historiographical debate.
Picturing German Antiquity in the Age of Print
Authors: Carlisle Rachel M. 
Published: January 2025

Picturing German Antiquity in the Age of Print: Art, Archaeology, and the Style All’antica in Early Modern Augsburg examines the central role of print to local antiquarian pursuits and generation of a style all’antica in early sixteenth-century Augsburg, Germany. Working in the shadow of Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I, Augsburg’s leading patrons, including humanist Konrad Peutinger and the mercantile Fugger family, documented local antiquities and commissioned new works of classicizing art and architecture, visually asserting a genuine, unbroken lineage to the city’s past.
This study challenges earlier narratives by arguing that Augsburg’s artists and printers did not directly copy Italian Renaissance models but instead manipulated the imported visual vocabulary according to local concerns. The book brings together scholarly discourses on transalpine exchange, scientific advancements in printmaking, and reception of antiquity north of the Alps to offer a new understanding of art in early modern Augsburg and northern Europe at large.
Art, War, and Exile in Modern Korea
Authors: Jin Jinyoung Anna 
Published: January 2025

This book celebrates the life and works of Lee Qoede (1913–1965), who focused on art’s social purpose and representation of civilians. He believed “art must be an integral part of the struggle in reality. It cannot simply be a still-life of apples, flowers, or scenery.” Born in South Korea, he was a prisoner of war, defected to North Korea, was politically purged, and died at fifty-two. His works were banned in South Korea until 1988.
This monograph explores Lee Qoede’s art within the context of Cold War politics and international leftist exchanges, including his experiences of civilian massacres, prisoner-of-war camps, and his defection to North Korea. It examines social realism, socialist realism, and Mexican mural influences on Lee’s oeuvre, reevaluating his place in South Korean art history. Highlighting the global impact of Lee’s work, the book integrates insights from international artists and movements, challenging Eurocentric modernism and offering a comprehensive understanding of his artistic journey.
Leaving Fossil Fuels Underground
Authors: Gupta Joyeeta , Hogenboom Barbara , Rempel Arthur , Olofsson Malin 
Published: January 2025

How can the world move away from a century-old global system based on fossil fuels? And how can societies in the Global South and Global North overcome the deeply vested economic, financial and political interests of the fossil fuel system? Despite the alarming effects of climate change and three decades of international climate negotiations, industrialized countries continue to exploit new fossil fuel reserves. Many countries in the Global South follow suit and still engage in large new fossil fuel projects and their related pollution, social injustice and debts. Increasingly, however, social and political actors are mobilising for leaving fossil fuels underground (LFFU).
This book examines the role of key actors, arguments and approaches in promoting the much-needed rapid phase-out of fossil fuels. It addresses the importance of linking effective climate action to socially and ecologically inclusive development. In addition to local resistance, the book explores initiatives for national and international policies and financial mechanisms carried out by actors ranging from social movements to governments and large investors.
In Leaving Fossil Fuels Underground, an international team of well-established scholars and early career researchers takes a global perspective to demonstrate the challenges and possibilities of reaching this goal. They pay special attention to Africa and Latin America, with case studies on South Africa and Ecuador.
Birth Justice
Authors: van der Waal Rodante 
Published: January 2025

Reproductive injustice is an urgent global problem. We are faced with the increased criminalization of abortion, higher maternal and neonatal mortality rates for people of color, and more and more research addressing the structural nature of obstetric violence. In this collection of essays, the cause of reproductive injustice is understood as the institutionalized isolation of (potentially) pregnant people, making them vulnerable for bio- and necropolitical disciplination and control.
The central thesis of this book is that reproductive justice must be achieved through a radical reappropriation of relationality in reproductive care to safeguard the access to knowledge and care needed for safe bodily self-determination. Through empirical research as well as decolonial, feminist, midwifery, and Black theory, reproductive justice is reimagined as abolitionist care, grounded in the abolition of authoritative obstetric institutions, state control of reproduction, and restrictive abortion laws in favor of community practices that are truly relational.
Objects, Commodities and Material Cultures in the Dutch Republic
Authors: Noorman Judith , Dietz Feike 
Published: January 2025

How did objects move between places and people, and how did they reshape the Republic’s arts, cultures and sciences?
‘Objects’ were vitally significant for the early modern Dutch Republic, which is known as an early consumer society, a place famous for its exhaustive production of books, visual arts and scientific instruments. What happens when we push these objects and their materiality to the centre of our research? How do they invite us to develop new perspectives on the early modern Dutch Republic? And how do they contest the boundaries of the academic disciplines that have traditionally organized our scholarship?

In Objects, Commodities and Material Cultures, the interdisciplinary community of specialists around the Amsterdam Centre for the Study of Early Modernity innovatively explores the diverse early modern world of objects. Its contributors take a single object or commodity as a point of departure to study and discuss various aspects of early modern art, culture and history: from natural objects to consumer goods, from knowledge instruments to artistic materials. The volume aims to unravel how objects have moved through regions, cultures and ages, and how objects impacted people who lived and worked in the Dutch Republic.
Beuckelaer and the Art of Dining
Authors: Goldstein Claudia 
Published: January 2025

Sixteenth-century Flemish painter Joachim Beuckelaer produced dozens of large-scale paintings of contemporary working women and men selling, presenting, and preparing a visually stunning array of foodstuffs for the viewer. These were new subjects in Antwerp and even newer in Italy, where elite merchants and nobles like Margaret of Parma displayed them as they were meant to be displayed: in dining rooms and spaces used for entertaining. This study explores the cross-cultural meanings of Beuckelaer’s distinctly Northern European kitchen and market scenes in the context of North Italian dining and food culture.
Examining the functions of Beuckelaer’s strange and new subject matter, Goldstein situates his paintings and those of his closest Italian follower, Vincenzo Campi, in the physical space of the dining room, addressing dining practice and the class and gender tensions inherent in a setting that placed both elite and non-elite viewers before life-sized renderings of their employees, and themselves.

Advances in Topological Methods for Solving Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations
Authors: K.S. Krishnamohan  
Published: January 2025

Higher order nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) are very difficult to compare or analyze and therefore there is restriction towards analytical or numerical appraisal. The following research aims at solving the problem of the solutions of Nonlinear PDEs through the application of topological fixed-point theory and degree theory, as well as the application of variational methods towards improving the existence, uniqueness, and stability of solutions to PDEs under all possible boundary conditions. The purpose of the study is to investigate the effectiveness of these methods in multifaceted and multi-grained systems. We used both fixed-point analyses to check the convergence of solutions and degree-theoretic methods for checking multiplicity of solutions, and variational structure for critical points of solutions. Newton-Raphson and finite element techniques were used in solving solutions with much ease for increased efficiency. A selection of findings shows that topological techniques are an efficient means of handling nonlinearity in PDEs; degree theory uncovers the multiplicity of solutions while variational techniques unveil the stability characteristics. This research advances the field of nonlinear analysis beyond the prior art by broadening the scope of topology in new domains and providing enhanced methods of computation of PDEs where it matters most: where traditional linear methods fail to apply. In the context of physics, engineering, and environmental studies nonlinear modeling is vital and the practical implication highlighted herein is useful for all. Possible future work might apply these methods to more general boundary conditions as well as combined analytical-numerical approaches.
Return to work after proximal humeral fractures: a single center study comparing conservative versus operative treatment
Authors: Hameleers Amber , Most Jasper , Schotanus Martijn , Wijnands Nina , Dremmen Martijn , van Vugt Raoul , Boonen Bert 
Published: January 2025

Background Adequate treatment of proximal humeral fractures (PHF) is essential for restoring shoulder function and expediting return-to-work (RTW). This study aims to assess the impact of conservative and operative treatments on RTW and PHF recovery. Objective & Methods In a retrospective case-control study, 858 patients (aged 18-68) treated for PHF between 2018 and 2021 were included. Questionnaires were sent to 342 operatively treated patients (Operative group (OG)) and 191 conservatively treated matched controls (Conservative group (CG)). Assessments covered RTW, functional outcomes (DASH, ASES), and quality of life (EQ-5D). A Kaplan-Meier analysis explored RTW in weeks. Results With a 61% response rate, 73 eligible participants (40 OG, 33 CG) contributed. Of respondents, 67.1% were female, and 60% were employed pre-trauma. Almost 70% of employed patients RTW, with no significant difference between groups (log rank, p=0.36). Among those returning to work, OG tended to resume 4 weeks later than CG (OG 10.5, IQR 22 vs. CG 6.00, IQR 8 weeks, p=0.07). DASH, ASES, and quality of life VAS scores showed no statistical difference between groups (p=0.542, p=0.257, p=0.530, respectively). Conclusion The RTW proportion did not differ between operatively and conservatively treated PHF patients, though the former tended to return 4 weeks later. Functional outcomes demonstrated no significant differences. Further adequately powered studies are necessary to establish a standardized aftercare protocol for PHF, enhancing patient care and minimizing work disability.
Analytical Engine: Computers, Prophecy, and the Paradox of Fate in Walid Ikhlasi’s Oedipus
Authors: Zapkin Phillip Louis 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This article analyzes concerns about how much control computers have over our lives, which is at the heart of Syrian dramatist Walid Ikhlasi’s 1978 play Oedipus, a modernized adaptation from Sophocles. Ikhlasi’s play poses crucial questions about humanity’s interactions with computers, particularly questions about control and (in)dependence in a digital age. Ikhlasi’s Oedipus-figure transforms from a techno-skeptic to believing that technology is some kind of all-powerful force threatening to overwrite human destiny because computers have so much more access to information than any individual human. These fears, and the play’s thematic implications for society, are detailed in this article.

Authors: Morán de Barrera Mirna 
Published: January 2025

Introducción. La aparición de reacciones adversas a medicamentos antituberculosis puede condicionar al paciente a requerir ajustes de dosis y modificaciones en los horarios de administración, esto representa un riesgo para la adherencia al tratamiento, lo que podría conducir a su suspensión y, en consecuencia, retrasar tanto la curación como la finalización del mismo. Además, estas reacciones pueden requerir atención hospitalaria, incrementando el gasto en salud para la atención de los pacientes. Objetivo. Caracterizar a los pacientes con síntomas sugestivos de reacciones adversas a fármacos antituberculosis. Metodología. Se desarrolló un estudio descriptivo transversal en una población de 89 pacientes. Se orientó a identificar las características como edad, sexo, ocupación, comorbilidades y síntomas sugestivos de reacciones adversas a fármacos antituberculosis en los pacientes que recibieron dichos medicamentos. Se utilizaron técnicas cuantitativas, obteniendo resultados a partir de la revisión de expedientes. Resultados. El rango de edad más frecuente durante el estudio correspondió a personas entre los 18 y los 41 años. El 59,6 % de la población estudiada fue de sexo masculino y los síntomas más frecuentes en personas con reacciones adversas a medicamentos fueron la anorexia y la epigastralgia, representando un 26,9 % de las reacciones reportadas. La población proveniente del área rural fue la más afectada. Conclusión. Los síntomas mas frecuentes en personas con reacciones adversas a fármacos antituberculosis fueron principalmente gastrointestinales. Dentro de los pacientes con tuberculosis, la diabetes mellitus fue la comorbilidad más frecuente.
