IntroductionStudies consistently link excessive smartphone use to poor sleep quality, depression, anxiety, and stress. This study specifically aimed to investigate these associations among medical students in Belgrade and Nis (Central Serbia).Materials and methodsThe cross-sectional study included a sample of 761 students, who were selected from both the Faculties of Medicine at the University of Belgrade and the University of Nis. Questionnaires, including the International Physical Activity Questionnaire – Short Form (IPAQ-SF), Smartphone Addiction Scale – Short Version (SAS-SV), the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale – 21 items (DASS-21), were completed by the participants. Statistical analysis techniques, such as the Chi-square test, student’s t-test, and logistic regression, were employed to examine the relationship between smartphone addiction, physical activity, sleep quality, depression, anxiety, and stress.ResultsThe findings indicated a prevalence of smartphone addiction among medical students at 21.7%, with rates of 22.9% among males and 21.1% among females. Females exhibited significantly higher scores on the SAS-SV scale compared to males (p = 0.032). Univariate logistic regression analysis revealed significant associations between smartphone addiction and spending over 4 h daily on smartphones (OR = 2.39; p &lt; 0.001), poor sleep quality (OR = 1.65; p = 0,005), as well as elevated levels of stress (OR = 1.75; p = 0.003), anxiety (OR = 2.04; p &lt; 0.001), and depression (OR = 2.29; p &lt; 0.001). Multivariate regression analysis identified spending more than 4 h daily on smartphones (OR = 2.39; p &lt; 0.001) and increased levels of depression (OR = 2.51; p &lt; 0.001) as independent significant factors associated with smartphone addiction.ConclusionThis study sheds light on the prevalence of smartphone addiction among medical students, with spending excessive time on smartphones and higher levels of depression standing out as significant factors. Future research should delve into the underlying mechanisms and causal relationships between smartphone addiction and these psychosocial factors. Understanding these connections will aid in developing effective interventions and strategies to tackle this growing public health concern.

Donation after circulatory determination of death (DCD) is a valuable strategy to increase the availability of grafts for liver transplantation (LT). As the average age of populations rises, the donor pool is likely to be affected by a potential increase in DCD donor age in the near future. We conducted a prospective cohort study to evaluate post-transplantation outcomes in recipients of grafts from elderly DCD donors compared with younger DCD donors, and elderly donors after brainstem determination of death (DBD). From August 2020 to May 2022, consecutive recipients of deceased donor liver-only transplants were enrolled in the study. DCD recipients were propensity score matched 1:3 to DBD recipients. One-hundred fifty-seven patients were included, 26 of whom (16.6%) were transplanted with a DCD liver graft. After propensity score matching and stratification, three groups were obtained: 15 recipients of DCD donors ≥75 years, 11 recipients of DCD donors &lt;75 years, and 28 recipients of DBD donors ≥75 years. Short-term outcomes, as well as 12 months graft survival rates (93.3%, 100%, and 89.3% respectively), were comparable among the groups. LT involving grafts retrieved from very elderly DCD donors was feasible and safe in an experienced high-volume center, with outcomes comparable to LTs from younger DCD donors and age-matched DBD donors.

Authors: Guimarães Kanda Felipe , Hussein Salem Luma , Guimarães Kanda Rafael , Medeiros Kanda Paulo Afonso 
Published: September 2023

EEG Weaver Reporter (EWR) is a windows application (app) to be used by neurophysiologists to report electroencephalogram (EEG) findings. We wrote EWR because of colleagues’ complaints about the reports generated by some EEG softwares. Some app reports have unprofessional or very automatic aspect. Besides the lack of a report databank in those app is a major issue. EWR can help researches and clinical neurophysiologists to describe their EEG analysis results. EWR is free, light, and simple to use. It creates EEG reports exportable to pdf and MS word. Users can generate as many databanks as needed to store their reports. Each of those databanks can store reusable EEG report templates, classified by patient’s name. Databanks and individual reports can be shared with patients and colleagues.
Instrumental and Integrative Ethics in the Context of a Knowledge Management Policy
Authors: Bornemann Manfred 
Published: September 2023

Governance structures and Knowledge Management Systems standards such as ISO 30401 and ISO 9001 ask for policies for knowledge management but leave open, how such a policy might be detailed. Depending on the preferences of owners, management or more extensive stakeholder groups, the assumptions about what is good and can therefore be considered as ethical, vary substantially. In the German literature, two authors represent two extremes of a wide spectrum of business ethics: Peter Ulrich and his Integrative Economic Ethics (Ulrich, 2007), positioning ethical behavior above all other corporate objectives on the one (politically left) side and Karl Homann with the Instrumental Ethic (Homann, 1999) and the general idea to maximize shareholder value on the other (politically right) side. Both European continental authors are distinct from the Anglo-American tradition of “business ethics” represented by Solomon (1994), Donaldson and Dunfee (1999) or Freemann (1984), who are, in general, less focused on principles, but suggest procedures that avoid risks for organizations (or their top managers) of being framed as unethical.
Knowledge as an intangible asset and different to tangibles such as money, goods, or infrastructure, is usually not controlled by investors, but by employees of an organization and thus affects problems of agency (Jensen, 1976) or stewardship (Donaldson, 1982) in corporate governance. Questions of ownership, modes of sharing and transferring knowledge to development of new knowledge and strategies of utilizing knowledge to create value need to be answered in a way to attract the best knowledge professionals. The answers might help formulate a formally consistent policy for knowledge management that considers either position – or come up with a more balanced approach, which could be implemented with established governance structures or ethic management systems (Wieland, 2014).
This paper discusses two qualitative positions of Homann and Ulrich in the context of knowledge management systems and knowledge as a corporate resource with the ambition to suggest recommendations to formulate a knowledge management policy that delivers on the formal requirements of ISO 30401.
Awareness Level of Information Security Managers in Small Enterprises in Poland
Authors: Kobis Paweł , Chmielarz Grzegorz 
Published: September 2023

The security of information assets largely depends on the real level of knowledge of those managing the information system. Particularly important is the knowledge acquired on an ongoing basis through reading and analysing: new reports published by specialised intelligence services worldwide, thematic portals, industry and scientific publications. Today's rapid pace of development of information, communication systems means that knowledge of digital information security acquired a year or more ago becomes partly outdated. Although there are specific, unchangeable canons of behaviour, proceedings in the processes of information protection - they are only a foundation for building an effective system of protecting intangible resources. Special attention should be paid to the fact that information protection is not an individual activity - it is a process running parallel to all processes operating in enterprises. The global pandemic situation has had an irreversible impact on the perception of information asset security. The situation in which most business entities were forced to work remotely necessitated a new approach to information security among its managers. The relatively stable environment of business entities until the pandemic suddenly forced the use of new techniques and technologies enabling work from private, home networks. Have such conditions changed the attitudes of security managers to the need for continuous education, to expand their knowledge in this area? Did those responsible for the security of intangible assets gain more experience with information security during the pandemic? The aim of this article is to present research on the knowledge and awareness of information security managers conducted before the pandemic in 2018 and 2019 among small businesses in Poland on the real perceptions of those responsible for information security and to compare them with the same research conducted in 2022 after the pandemic.

Authors: Saniuk Sebastian , Grabowska Sandra 
Published: September 2023

The dehumanisation of the industry due to focusing only on the implementation of Industry 4.0 technologies has resulted in numerous concerns among workers, governments and societies regarding new working conditions and the role of humans in industry and the economy. Hence, the European Commission proposed the new concept of Industry 5.0. Industry 5.0 complements and extends the characteristic features of Industry 4.0. It highlights aspects that will be decisive factors in industry placement in future European society. Numerous scientific studies indicate the need to take into account, in the assumptions of the future industry's development, the crucial role of human beings. The humanisation of the technological Industry 4.0 environment was one of the first factors in the evolution of Industry 4.0 towards the Industry 5.0 concept. The new approach in the fourth industrial revolution focuses on the interaction between humans and intelligent machines. The fifth industrial revolution will continue the push for more advanced human-machine interfaces using artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms. It will mean better integration, enabling faster, better automation combined with the power of human brains, but it will also mean changing the demands placed on managers and engineers. Hence, the article aims to identify the critical knowledge and skills of engineers responsible for implementing the Industry 5.0 concept. The presented achievements and results in the article are from surveys conducted among experts representing companies with experience in implementing Industry 4.0 technologies and with a high level of knowledge and engineering and managerial competencies. The research results presented in the paper are dedicated to researchers and practitioners implementing the Industry 5.0 concept in smart organisations (smart factories).
Strategic knowledge bases in the context of discovering and creating business opportunities
Authors: Sus Aleksandra , Pawłowski Edmund 
Published: September 2023

Due to the level of interdisciplinarity and complexity, knowledge management processes in organizations need to be considered from different points of view. The key area of interest of the article is systemic processes of creating knowledge bases that take into account strategic events in organizations in the form of market opportunities. Thus, the article’s main purpose is to create two models of knowledge bases, the structure and types of which are directly related to the processes of opportunity management: their discovery and creation. For the main objective thus formulated, the researchers defined the following research questions: 1) What are the information needs for creating a strategic knowledge base model in the opportunity discovery process? 2) what is the information needed for creating a strategic knowledge base model in the opportunity creation process? 3) What are the benefits and utilitarian goals for the organization from the creation of strategic knowledge bases in the context of discovering and creating business opportunities?. The detailed objectives derive from analyzing the organization's interior models and environment. The methodology used in the article is a critical review of the literature, the method of deduction in the area of generating assumptions for discovery processes and creating opportunities in the context of creating knowledge models. The results will enable extracting the cognitive knowledge of strategic knowledge bases in the context of the organization's opportunities. Furthermore, this will result in research models detailing the organization's strategic activities in opportunities and knowledge management processes, along with the specification of the potential benefits of the processes carried out (utilitarian purpose). The research results will expand the understanding of the utilitarian nature of knowledge management processes and strategic theory.
Appropriately Managing Knowledge in Romanian Entrepreneurial Businesses: Finding Balance in Restructuring Companies
Authors: Dumitrescu Decebal 
Published: September 2023

In light of the global economy transformation and the several crises affecting the world, streamlining and reorganization of companies' activities is a priority. We posit that concentration of knowledge and its use in companies for short term gains can lead to misguided economic behavior, crisis and insolvencies coupled with low probability of successful restructuring. In turn the success of restructuring is dependent on cohesive knowledge management while dispersed knowledge management can, at most, prolong the economic life of a company and not save it from demise. We analyze the impact and lack of impact that knowledge and its guided/misguided management can have on Romanian companies, ex ante and ex post insolvency procedures. We chose both an exploratory and explanatory case study approach of Romanian companies affected by economic crisis that underwent various insolvency stages, tracing the use of knowledge and its different practical deployment to the decision-making processes and their outcomes. We review the causes that lead to the economic crisis and subsequent insolvency contexts. We compare the use of knowledge by the companies’ leadership against similar cases in other jurisdictions and we identify patterns of successful and unsuccessful application of knowledge management. Next, we investigate the effects of dispersed knowledge management in the early insolvency stages, focusing on the reorganization phase identifying gaps and discussing potential solutions. The results suggest, as they apply to the researched case studies, that both concentrated and dispersed knowledge management within distressed companies do not lead to positive outcomes and a balanced approach to knowledge management is more prone to provide effective and viable restructuring. The article explores several knowledge management theories and various academic research as they relate to the decision-making process for Romanian companies in distress and expands the academic universe as it relates to knowledge treatment in economic crisis. The results of our research and the potential solutions discussed can be further developed into a best practice guidance or a practical model to be used both by academics and practitioners as well.
Exploring knowledge management from a software engineering perspective
Authors: Georgiev Dilyan 
Published: September 2023

Context: The knowledge domain of software engineering (SE) gradually expands due to fast emerging technologies and complex organisational processes. The software industry represents a special focus of interest from a Knowledge Management (KM) perspective, as it is characterized by high employee turnover, a high level of outsourced projects, and an accelerated pace of technology innovations. Knowledge management can substantially influence SE knowledge's life cycle, contributing to better structuring of organisational processes of knowledge creation, knowledge transfer, and knowledge sharing. Reflecting on the trends for SE automation with artificial intelligence tools, KM approaches can enable companies and professionals to reconsider the future of SE work. Purpose: The present research aims to identify and investigate how implementing knowledge management principles and processes within the software engineering domain can facilitate the future transformation of software-related jobs. Based on a conceptual model, built upon the literature review, the paper analyses the quantitative data, collected from 91 software experts. Evaluating the impact of both organizational and domain types of SE knowledge, the discussion evaluates the unique value-adding SE processes along with models of how to explore AI applications to automate the SE domain. Results: The outcomes of the analysis identify the models of structuring knowledge management processes in SE both within the technological domain and organisational layers. The discussion section establishes suitable KM methods and approaches for supporting SE job transformation. It identifies the main knowledge management integration practices, demonstrating how combining KM with AI-based innovations may change the SE knowledge flow, improving substantially SE activities like onboarding new team members, monitoring software documentation, version control, and error tracking.
Renewal capital matters: Comparison between Lithuania and Taiwan

Published: September 2023

In a hyper-competition era with the shadows by COVID-19 pandemic, nations as well as companies are competing for talents, high-technologies and innovations to sustain the economic performance and competitiveness. This study compares the NIC of two small economies, Lithuania and Taiwan, that both perform better than most countries during the pandemic, aiming to understand their next steps to sustain the successfulness after the pandemic. The study utilized the ELSS (Edvinsson, Lin, Stahle and Stahle) model (Stahle et al., 2015) with 48 indicators collected from the World Competitiveness Yearbook to measure the degree of NIC. Based on 20 years (2001-2020) national intellectual capital (NIC) panel data, the descriptive analysis reveals that Lithuania lags behind Taiwan renewal capital. However, Lithuania’s market capital and process capital have great improvement over the past 20 years and are catching up with those of Taiwan. The renewal capital mainly consists of R&D spending/GDP, business R&D spending, cooperation between corporations and universities, venture capital, entrepreneurship, development and application of technology and 6 other renewal relevant indicators. From the perspective of NIC, the gap of GDP per capita between Lithuania and Taiwan corresponds to the difference of renewal capital between these two countries. The results show the significance of renewal capital. Those who are unable to attract, retain talents and slow in technology renewal will not be competitive and sustainable. We suggest that Lithuania utilize its short-term NIC to boost up economic development, then invest more in talent development and technology advancement to ensure its sustainability.
Practices that Mitigate Organizational Knowledge Hiding: A Systematic Literature Review
Authors: Oliveira Mirian , Teixeira Jaime , Curado Carla , Araújo Clécio 
Published: September 2023

The importance of Knowledge sharing (KS) within organizations is well recognized. Despite efforts by firms to facilitate KS, employees are sometimes unwilling to share their knowledge. Inefficient KS can lead to reduced productivity and innovation and increased employee frustration. Knowledge hiding (KHi) occurs when someone withholds knowledge when asked to share it. While the literature contains much about the antecedents of KHi, our systematic literature review found very few articles that discuss how to mitigate it. Hence, this study sought to associate KS practices with organizational KHi motivations and to find ways to mitigate the behavior. To do so, a systematic literature review was conducted in two main sources: Scopus; and Web of Science. The collected data were then subjected to content analysis. The results show KS practices designed to reduce organizational motivations for KHi are based on HR practices (recruitment, training, and mentoring) and organizational structure (teamwork, interdependence between tasks, job rotation, knowledge mapping, best practices, and communities of practice). KS practices such as face-to-face interaction and informal conversation appear to build trust and reduce KHi. Organizational antecedents of KHi, such as workplace bullying and incivility, are related with the organizational culture, and leadership is relevant to avoid negative events. Explicit and tacit KS practices can mitigate KHi. This research offers academic and managerial contributions on the KHi and how to mitigate it. Building on this study, future research could empirically test the relationship between KHi motivations and KS practices to mitigate KHi.
