Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To evaluate patient and vaccine factors associated with adverse events (AEs) recorded within 3 days of vaccine administration in a large cohort of dogs.

ANIMALS
4,654,187 dogs vaccinated in 16,087,455 office visits in a 5-year period at 1,119 hospitals of a corporate practice.

METHODS
Electronic medical records of dogs vaccinated between January 1, 2016, and December 31, 2020, were searched for diagnoses of possible AEs recorded within 3 days of administration of vaccines without concurrent injectable heartworm preventative. Patient risk factors (age, sex, breed, and weight) and number and type of vaccine were extracted from records. ORs (and 95% CIs) for risk factors were estimated via multivariable logistic regression mixed models with patient as a random effect.

RESULTS
AEs were recorded following 31,197 vaccination visits (0.19%, or 19.4/10,000 visits). Reported AE rates increased from 1 to 4 vaccines administered and among individual vaccines were greatest for rabies vaccine. AE rate was generally inversely related to body weight, with largest rates in dogs ≤ 5 kg. The largest AE rates were noted in French Bulldogs and Dachshunds (ORs > 4 compared to mixed-breed dogs).

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Risk factor information can be used to update vaccination protocols and client communication. Breed differences may indicate genetics as the primary risk factor for adverse vaccine reactions following vaccinations.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To describe a treatment for a mandibular fracture in a guinea pig (Cavia porcellus).

ANIMAL
A 6-month-old sexually intact male guinea pig referred for a 24-hour history of hyporexia.

CLINICAL PRESENTATION, PROGRESSION, AND PROCEDURES
Physical examination showed lateral displacement of the incisors and inflammation and crepitation during mandible lateralization. Imaging tests revealed a minimally displaced complete oblique fracture of the left mandible with fracture of the left mandibular first premolar tooth and incisor tooth.

TREATMENT AND OUTCOME
Conservative treatment was established by placing a chin sling (CS) to immobilize the jaw and a nasogastric tube for nutritional support. Imaging tests repeated 3 weeks later showed initial callus formation, and the conservative treatment was discontinued. Follow-up examinations showed appetite and progressive weight gain. Five months later, the clinical crown of the left mandibular incisor was absent and a resorptive lesion on the left mandibular first premolar tooth was detected. Complete ossification of the fracture without premolar and moler teeth elongation was observed on control imaging tests. Ten months after initial examination, the patient was reportedly healthy with no signs of pain or dental disease.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Jaw fracture treatments in guinea pigs are poorly described in the literature. Surgical treatment can be challenging in this species due to its skull and dental anatomy. Although CS was originally employed to increase the congruency of premolar and molar teeth after coronal reduction, this device yielded satisfactory results as a noninvasive, inexpensive treatment of a mandibular fracture in this guinea pig. Alopecia on the back of the head was the only undesired adverse effect associated with the CS.

Published: July 2023

Abstract
Global economic growth prospects are facing ups and downs, the rise of interest rates to contain inflation, especially after the lingering effects of the pandemic and supply chain disruptions, recession and geopolitical tensions are obstacles for the world economy. The research question is what are the reasons for the recent global economic recession and what challenges could have on business and markets? As a methodology of research, we focused on a literature review of the existing literature and data analysis. Various economic recessions could happen from time to time and several have happened throughout history affecting the financial levels of businesses and profits. The economy bases as well on the degree of production, services, goods, consumer confidence and market trends. So, the stability of companies and countries depend a lot on these things.
The results show that advanced economies raise interest rates to combat inflation, financial conditions are tightening, especially for emerging market economies. In conclusion, with cautious policy action, new strategies of negotiations and joint multilateral efforts, the world could move towards stronger and more inclusive growth. Strengthening global cooperation remains the best way to improve economic prospects. Fostering emotional intelligence in business is important. Mainly it is better to avoid? Decrease or deal with inflation rates first then with the recession since inflation is one of the main indicators and drivers to and in a recession.
Bullwhip Effect Demand Variation and Amplification within Supply Chains
Authors: Ionel Elena-Simona , Miron Alexandra-Dorina 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
The consumers of the present, and especially those of the future, no longer expect products and services in themselves, but the maximization of the satisfaction they promise. In addition, today’s consumer has a complex consumption behavior, is increasingly well informed, knows what he wants to receive and reacts quite firmly if his expectations are not considered by suppliers. For these reasons, at the level of specialized literature but also at the level of business practice, an innovative business philosophy, called the bullwhip effect, according to which demand variation or amplification, is progressive augmentation or diminishing of the demand, has become increasingly interesting to study. That is ascendingly propagating within the supply chain driving order variation to grow exponentially from the final consumer to the raw material supplier. The main thematic axes analyzed during this paper concerned: supply chains growing complexity both as an effect and a cause of the asymmetries that are observed at the level of demand-offer equilibrium; relevant correlations and causal relationships identifiable between the determinants of the general or specific environment in which a company is operating and the optimization together with the efficiency of the activities developed by it can be anticipated by adopting various business models; how distorted demand is propagating within the supply chain; the bullwhip effect as an amplification phenomenon inside the supply chain. The authors of this paper opted for a combination of positivist-type research, prioritizing the main causes of the bullwhip effect, and a phenomenological-type research, during which the most robust of the correlations supporting the starting hypotheses were highlighted. Therefore, we believe that increased attention to minimizing the bullwhip effect within organizations will lead to improved performance of supply chains and, implicitly, of the companies involved. This remains an area of significant interest in scientific research as well as in the practice of commercial entities focused on increasing profits.
Impact of the Influence Factors for the Operating Profit of Companies from Romanian Agri-Business Sector
Authors: Moise Dumitru-Florin 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
The objective of the study is to assess the impact of the influence factors for operating profit obtained by Romanian agriculture companies that have accessed bank loans in two consecutive years with major differences in results. The analysis was done for the year 2019 which was a very good one in term of production at national level and 2020 when the agriculture activity was affected by severe drought. The influence factors taken in consideration are turnover, equity and interest expenses. The purpose is to determine where a company is earning its profits or where is losing money and to predict the movement of the financial results considering that internal or external factors can change substantially. The research was carried out on a sample of 2220 companies from the Romanian agri-business sector. The size of the sample differentiates the study within the specialized literature. The relationship between variables was determined using a descriptive quantitative method and the multiple regression test using the SPSS software. The specialized literature is dominated by studies in which indicators are used in the form of rates, but the present study only uses indicators in absolute values. The operational income depends on the operational revenues and costs, but it is more important to observe the impact factors which can reflect the behavior of the shareholders as the level of equity or the interest expenses which can be influenced by external factors like inflation. According with the results obtained, the interest expenses have a significant influence on the operating profit and the negative effect can be amplified by decreases in turnover or equity. The effect of this relationship should be anticipated especially in the recession periods of the economy when the decrease in turnover can appear at the same time with the increase in interest cost.

Abstract
In this paper, we analyse the factors influencing the purchase frequency of three types of electronic devices and home appliances (mobile phone, TV set, laptop) by Romanian consumers and identifies the stimuli for a consumer behaviour aimed at a responsible getting out of use of electronic equipment and home appliances. Using survey data and a Poisson regression approach, we show that there is a negative relation between the gender of a respondent and the frequency of acquisition of home appliances during the last 5 years – despite that, only in the case of acquiring mobile phones the coefficient is statistically significant. Furthermore compared to individuals that have post-graduate studies (master’s degree or PhD), the high-school graduates present a greater inclination towards the more frequent purchase of mobile phones; as for age, the number of acquisitions of a new electronic device or home appliance, regardless of its nature, this decreases as age increases; referring to the acquisition manner, the persons who buy exclusively from specialized stores purchase less phones, PC-s and TV sets as compared to a person that adopts both manners (physical store and online). Concerning the stimuli for collecting, the research results show that these do not influence the purchase decision of a new equipment, regardless of its type, the results of Poisson regression being statistically insignificant for the analysed sample. The results of our paper show that there is no strong binding between the purchase determinants of new equipment and responsible recycling of old equipment.

Authors: Cristea Nicoleta-Elena , Geberemeskel Alula Nerea 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThe current concern for power is justifiable in light of both the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and the world’s concern over climate change and environmental conservation. The objective of this paper is to quantify changes in Romania’s electricity productions and imports, moreover, to identify and classify the types of sponsorship activities of Romanian electricity companies. In this paper, based on data from Eurostat and BP we analyze the import of electricity in Romania between 2011 and 2020, but also the electricity generation from all sources between 1989 and 2021. We also did an analysis of contribution for improving the life of local communities, of few important Romanian companies from the electricity area: Hidroelectrica, Nuclearelectrica and Transelectrica based on their sustainability reports for the year 2021. During the communist period in Romania, between 1985 and 1989, there was an increase of electricity produced, but after the communism, more precisely after the year 1989 there was a huge decrease, more specifically from 1989 to 2021 decreased by 22%, while imports of electricity increased by 2.42 times from 2011 to 2020. From the sustainability reports of the companies analyzed results that the Romanian electricity companies offer a high support to the local communities especially for health area. This paper is unique because it’s the first paper where the sponsorship of the Romanian electricity companies was analyzed from a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) perspective.

Published: July 2023

Abstract
The alignment between environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance and country’s competitiveness helps academics and practitioners in observing corporate contributions to sustainable growth, leveraging corporate environments focused on ESG aspects that have a macroeconomic impact, but a limited number of studies analyzes this link. Thus, the aim of this study is to propose a case study for which an original mapping is proposed. Data were collected from Refinitiv Eikon, for two companies (in the oil and gas and financial services sectors), located in Romania, for the financial year 2021, and from the Global Competitiveness Report published by the World Economic Forum in 2019, as it is the latest full report available. Interpretative analysis was applied to the proposed mapping of sustainability practices reflected through ESG indicators, in relation to various relevant components of six pillars from the global competitiveness index. Our qualitative research included the computation of a total score based on the impact of ESG performance in pursuing the country’s competitiveness. Our results show that in Romania, the largest oil and gas company disclosed quantitative and qualitative information on ESG indicators and obtained a score (25) which is equal to the one obtained by the analyzed bank, the largest in Romania. The highest contribution to reaching the country’s competitiveness is related to the social pillar, especially the workforce dimension, for both organizations. Thus, corporate ESG performance is mapped to six pillars out of 12 regarding country competitiveness, for entities activating in either financial or non-financial industries, with different weight allocated to each of the three ESG pillars. This research is important for various stakeholders, such as governments, business, and civil society, depending on the role within the organization, either direct or indirect.

Published: July 2023

Abstract
Robotic Process Automation became an increasingly invasive technology in outsourcing, since both of these industries have been developed based on the same business desiderata, such as increased efficiency, cost savings and improved accuracy. However, there is a gap in the existing literature regarding the concrete use of this technology in business tasks. Therefore, we set out to investigate the implementation of RPA in the business services industry by conducting a literature review mining within the Web of Science database. Our study focused on three research questions: 1) Which are the leading developers of RPA tools? 2) What are the most automated business services tasks using RPA according to the scientific literature? 3) What are the process workflow and performance improvements generated by RPA-automated tasks in each type of outsourcing center? The contributions of our article consist of an overview of the main RPA developers in the market, a synopsis of the business services categories for which the literature indicates RPA solutions’ implementations and an improved synthesis of business process workflows and performance recorded by integrating RPA tools in business services centers. The paper is broadening the understanding of the RPA-powered competitive advantages that could justify the redesign of business process mapping. Finally, our research highlights some milestones of the RPA-enhanced business services landscape and suggests future axes of research.

Published: July 2023

Abstract
Between the worldwide digital currencies one can also pinpoint those of central banks being a part of the move towards a cashless society. Several worldwide central banks are already planning to issue them, while others are conducting studies on them. Literature of the topic is heavily increasing, including understanding central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), their risks, and central banks’ future position towards them. This paper analyzes Twitter data tagged with the “cbdc” hashtag and posted between January 2021 and January 2023, with the aim of highlighting the change regarding citizens’ perceptions towards central banks’ digital currencies. The authors extracted 124,946 positive, negative and neutral tweets from Twitter which they further analyzed by using a Python script, in the end highlighting different views on the potential benefits and drawbacks of CBDCs. The results show a growing debate and discussion around the use of CBDCs, with citizens expressing concerns about their potential consequences on civil liberties and financial control, while others highlight the benefits of CBDCs such as financial inclusion and tackling money laundering and terrorism. The paper enriches literature related to the study of consumer sentiment towards digital currencies, highlighting the significance of social media platforms for sharing opinions on emerging financial technologies. Central banks can use social media tools to shift citizens’ sentiments and perspectives, including on topics such as CBDCs, by publishing explainers, replying to comments on relevant topics, and increasing posts’ numbers, as they analyze whether and how CBDCs will be implemented. Research on consumer sentiment on this topic is useful as it can help central banks in adapting their strategies accordingly so that they can better achieve their objectives.
Improving Customer Experience Using Artificial Intelligence in Online Retail

Published: July 2023

Abstract
This paper presents research on precursors that can generate unique and attractive retail experiences when using artificial intelligence. Among them are safe technology, ethical aspects, and customer-friendly technology. The motivation for choosing this topic is that it gives a global, current perspective and arouses interest, curiosity, uncertainty, even fear. Quantitative research was implemented with the help of an online questionnaire. The conceptual model derived from the literature was then analysed through regression analysis. Data collected from 272 consumers allowed the research hypotheses to be validated. The results reveal that artificial intelligence applied in retail is the solution for achieving higher performance in the retail field, but without being used unethically. The results provide an overview of AI in retail today, with survey participants expressing confidence in AI’s ability to improve their shopping experience. The originality of the research consists of approaching for the first time in the considered emerging market the perception of consumers toward the vectors that enhance their in-store shopping expectations. Considering the direction in which technology is evolving and based on the arguments of specialists, it can be stated that Artificial Intelligence will represent an element of distinction and competitive advantage. Companies in the retail sector that will invest in the development of Artificial Intelligence will benefit in the long term. Artificial intelligence should not be absent from the retail context, and further investment should be made in its development. The present study did not determine the actual purchase experience in virtual retail stores but was based on a hypothetical situation. Also, this study used a limited sample of respondents, with only Millennials participating. A future research perspective could be based on this study, but using a larger and more representative sample.
A Co-Occurrence Scrutiny of Transformational Leadership, Employee Engagement, Well-Being and Burnout via a Bibliometric Analysis
Authors: Vătămănescu Elena-Mădălina , Vintilă Florina 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, employees anticipate that their leaders will demonstrate greater empathy for the unexpected issues in the workplace. According to recent studies, the present and future require leadership to reimagine human resources leadership and the entire employee experience by focusing on people, cooperation, tight communication, and reestablishing connection and trust. In their 2021 report on the future of work after Covid-19, McKinsey Global Institute notes that hybrid remote work could continue to address the fact that 20 to 25 percent of workers in advanced economies and around 10 percent in emerging economies could work from home three to five days a week, primarily in computer-based office work, including offices of all sizes and corporate headquarters. In this light, the purpose of this research to provide an overview of the relationships between the leadership style, employee engagement, as well as their wellbeing versus burnout. The paper intends to propose a bibliographic analysis of the scientific articles simultaneously tackling the main envisaged constructs, respectively leadership, engagement, well-being and burnout. Given the fact that the inclusion of the Covid-19 pandemic would have narrowed down too much the analysis, the term was not considered in the searches. The bibliometric analysis was performed by means of VOSviewer.
