Published: April 2023

Purpose: Examine the association between human resource management(HRM) practices and the total quality management (TQM) practices in the meppchanical manufacturing industries.
Design/Methodology/Approach: Data and information were gathered using a survey instrument. Data were collected from the managerial level employees working in the HR, quality and production departments. Collected data and information were analyzed using descriptive statistics, factor analysis and structural equation modelling.
Findings: Human resource management practices are associated with total quality management practices. The result of the study also reveals that Functional Leadership (FL), Positive Organizational Scholarship (POS), Employee Involvement (EI), Empowerment (EMP) and Employee Training (ET) are the predominant factors of human resource management. At the same time, Benchmarking (BEN), Customer Satisfaction (CS), Top Management Commitment (TMC) and Supplier Relations (SR) are the critical success factors of TQM practices. “Functional Leadership” has the most significant impact on Benchmarking.
Research limitations/implications: The empirical research was on mechanical manufacturing industries in India only. Further, the study can be extended to other sectors to gather relevant TQM and HRM associations.
Practical implications: Successful implementation of HRM practices enhances employees' motivation level; this will significantly help to implement the organization's TQM practices. Overall implementation of HRM and TQM practices will improve employee satisfaction and customer satisfaction level and continuous improvement.
Originality/value: The research tender imminent into associations between HRM and TQM practices focusing on Indian manufacturing organizations. This conceptual framework is a valuable reference for future research.

Objective. To establish the effect of neurogenic shock (NS) on the course of acute complicated injury of the cervical spine.Material and Methods. The retrospective study included 96 patients with acute complicated injury of the cervical spine. The criteria for the presence of NS were determined as mean blood pressure (BP) < 70 mm Hg, and heart rate (HR) < 60 per minute. Two groups were distinguished: Group 1 included 13 patients with NS, and Group 2 – 83 patients without NS. The main characteristics of patients and the course of spinal cord injury were analyzed from the moment of admission to the 30th day of follow-up.Results. There were no statistically significant differences between the groups in terms of gender, age, level of spinal injury, severity of spinal cord injury and comorbidity. Admission BP and HR in patients with NS were below the reference values and had statistically significant differences in comparison with similar indicators in patients of Group 2. On the first day of treatment in the intensive care unit (ICU), hemodynamic support was required for all patients of Group 1, and for 69 patients of Group 2 (83.1 %). The duration of hemodynamic support in Group 1 was 11 days [6; 15], and in Group 2 – 7 days [4; 14]; p = 0.231. Blood lactate and pH levels were consistent with reference values at all stages, with no intergroup differences. Differences in the severity of organ dysfunctions (SOFA scale) were registered only on the seventh day of treatment in the ICU (p = 0.010); there were no significant differences in the severity of the patients’ condition (APACHE II scale). The presence of NS was accompanied by a statistically significant increase in the complication rate. The duration of treatment in the ICU was 28 days [22; 57] in Group 1, 23.5 days [11; 37] in Group 2 (p = 0.055), and that in the hospital – 58 days [44; 70] in Group 1 versus 41.5 [24; 59.5] in Group 2 (p < 0.025). Positive dynamics in the neurological status was noted at discharge in 15.0 % of Group 1 patients and in 19.3 % of Group 2 patients.Conclusion. The prevalence of NS in isolated injury of the cervical spine was 13.5 %. The development of NS significantly increases the complication rate and duration of hospital stay, but does not exclude the possibility of regression of existing neurological disorders.

Objective. To study the efficacy and safety of transforaminal epidural block (TEB) in patients with herniated intervertebral discs, as well as to compare the results of their treatment with those achieved in patients who were treated with other methods.Material and Methods. The results of treatment of 248 patients with herniated intervertebral discs and persistent radicular pain syndrome, who had indications for surgical treatment, were studied. In 70 cases, the TEB was performed, and in case of its low efficacy (less than 50 % reduction in pain severity), surgical intervention was suggested. In 178 cases, surgical treatment was performed – microsurgical or endoscopic discectomy. The state of patients was followed-up during two years using VAS, Oswestry questionnaire and MRC scale for motor dysfunction in the limb.Results. After 1 month, a decrease in the intensity of radicular pain (by 50 % or more) was determined in the TEB group with a lower frequency (84.3 %) than in the surgical treatment group (93.8 %), without a statistically significant difference (p = 0.526). At the same time, a stable reduction in radicular pain (by 50 % or more) without the need for surgical treatment was achieved in 62.9 % of patients in the TEB group. Also, there was not significant difference in VAS score for local low back pain (p = 0.179) and ODI score (p = 0.348) between groups. After 24 months, the benefits of functional outcomes in the TEB group as compared with the surgical treatment group were confirmed by median ODI (4 [0; 8] vs 12 [4; 20], respectively) and median VAS for low back pain (0 [0; 1] vs 1 [0; 3], respectively), p < 0.001. A significant (50 % or more) decrease in VAS score for radicular pain was achieved in all patients of the TEB group, while in the surgical treatment group – in 88.8 % (p > 0.05). In the TEB group, a stable analgesic effect without subsequent surgical intervention was achieved in 42 (60.0 %) patients, and the number of repeated surgical interventions performed for various reasons was significantly lower (p = 0.001), with a comparable incidence of disc herniation recurrence among operated patients who required repeated surgical treatment (p > 0.05).Conclusion. The use of transforaminal epidural block (TEB) in the treatment of patients with herniated intervertebral discs at the lumbar level and persistent radicular pain makes it possible to avoid surgical treatment in 62.9 % of patients in the short term, and in 60.0 % during two year follow-up after the procedure, while maintaining a high quality of life.

Published: April 2023

Abstract
The dynamic response of the retaining structures is a complex issue, and a major challenge in their design, especially under seismic loading conditions. So a reliable and efficient solution following a computational approach, closer to reality, is required to obtain satisfactory results. Hence, this study came to clarify the effectiveness of the PLAXIS 3D program in predicting the performance, accuracy, and reliability of retaining walls. A case study of placing compressed materials as the backfill of the retaining wall soil is analyzed in this study using PLAXIS 3D software. The results are compared with the experimental results and the results of PLAXIS 2D software. The purpose is to predict the performance of retaining walls under seismic loads. As a result, the research stated that the displacement with time was less than the results recorded depending on the program PLAXIS 2D. According to the comparison of the different analytical tools, the researchers concluded that the adoption of the PLAXIS 3D program gives results that are closer to reality, more accurate, and more reliable.

Published: April 2023

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) information is vital for providing detailed features of the physical world, which is used in numerous applications such as industrial inspection, automatic navigation and identity authentication. However, the implementations of 3D imagers always rely on bulky optics. Metasurfaces, as the next-generation optics, shows flexible modulation abilities and excellent performance combined with computer vision algorithm. Here, we demonstrate an active 3D positioning and imaging method with large field of view (FOV) by single fringe projection based on metasurface and solve the accurate and robust calibration problem with the depth uncertainty of 4 μm. With a compact metasurface projector, the demonstrated method can achieve submillimeter positioning accuracy under the FOV of 88°, offering robust and fast 3D reconstruction of the texture-less scene due to the modulation characteristic of the fringe. Such scheme may accelerate prosperous engineering applications with the continued growth of flat-optics manufacturing process by using metadevices.

Culturally Responsive Librarians: Shifting Perspectives Toward Racial Empathy
Authors: Burns Elizabeth A. 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
Libraries are charged with being inclusive spaces for all patrons. Library (library and information science [LIS]) preparation programs, by extension, must prepare the next generation of librarians to meet the needs of an increasingly diverse population. It is imperative that today’s librarians are equipped to infuse diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) theory with best practice when establishing policy and procedure for the library environment, staff, and programing. With little research and no established protocol in LIS education, it is unclear how pre-service librarians are trained in DEI to meet the needs of all users. This exploratory study used a participatory action research model to examine how a library educator-researcher might begin to develop a framework centered on cultural competence and implement it with one class of emerging librarians to explore issues impacting racial DEI in library services. Findings suggest that the framework provided a structure by which the LIS students could interrogate their own bias, gain greater empathy toward understanding DEI and racial issues, and begin to shift their beliefs toward creating a culturally responsive library setting.

AbstractRecruitment of RNA polymerase II (Pol II) to promoters is essential for transcription. Despite conflicting evidence, the Pol II preinitiation complex (PIC) is often thought to have a uniform composition and to assemble at all promoters via an identical mechanism. Here, using Drosophila melanogaster S2 cells as a model, we demonstrate that different promoter classes function via distinct PICs. Promoter DNA of developmentally regulated genes readily associates with the canonical Pol II PIC, whereas housekeeping promoters do not, and instead recruit other factors such as DREF. Consistently, TBP and DREF are differentially required by distinct promoter types. TBP and its paralog TRF2 also function at different promoter types in a partially redundant manner. In contrast, TFIIA is required at all promoters, and we identify factors that can recruit and/or stabilize TFIIA at housekeeping promoters and activate transcription. Promoter activation by tethering these factors is sufficient to induce the dispersed transcription initiation patterns characteristic of housekeeping promoters. Thus, different promoter classes utilize distinct mechanisms of transcription initiation, which translate into different focused versus dispersed initiation patterns.

From State to Social Actors in Extremism Prevention: A State of the Art
Authors: Martini Alice , Fernández de Mosteyrín Laura 
Published: April 2023

This article presents a review of the academic literature (2005-2020) analyzing the policies for the prevention of extremism implemented in the European Union. Based on a review of the works published in the WOS, we reflect on the pillars composing these practices. To present the results of the literature review, the EU Radicalisation Awareness Network’s structure (RAN) is used (its working groups and topic-oriented organization). It is concluded that the preventive paradigm relies on the enlistment of social actors (from the field of social policy and organized civil society). Some challenges and blind spots of this approach are pointed out.

Resumen
Este artículo presenta una revisión de la literatura reciente (2005-2020) sobre las políticas de prevención del extremismo implementadas en la Unión Europea. A partir de los trabajos publicados en la Web of Science, se propone una reflexión sobre los pilares en los que descansan las prácticas de prevención. Se utiliza la estructura de trabajo de la Red Europea RAN (sus áreas temáticas y grupos de trabajo) para organizar los resultados de la revisión. Se concluye que el paradigma preventivo descansa sobre el reclutamiento de actores sociales (del campo de la política social y de la sociedad civil organizada) y se presentan algunos desafíos y cegueras de este enfoque.

Published: April 2023

To study prevalence of LADA in type2 diabetes patients and evaluate characteristics of patients with LADA.This is cross-sectional observational study, conducted in a tertiary care hospital in South India; once consultation by physician was over, diabetic patients were screened for study criteria; written informed consent was taken from all participants, who fulfilled study criteria. A written permission has been obtained from Institutional Ethics Committee for the conduct of the study, patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus having age of onset of diabetes greater than 35 years and duration of type 2 diabetes less than 3 years are included in the study and subjects who are requiring insulin within 6 months after diagnosis of diabetes are excluded from the study. Radioimmunoassay is used for detection of auto antibodies to GAD65. LADA is diagnosed by presence of autoantibodies to GAD65. Other laboratory indices done are C-peptide assay, HbA1c, anti-TPO antibodies and lipid profile. Prevalence is calculated for auto antibody positive subjects and characteristics of patients are determined by age, gender, BMI and other laboratory indices.Out of 100 type 2 diabetes patients included in the study, 30 were diagnosed with LADA. Among these 30 patients with LADA, 84% patients were between 35-50 years of age and 16% were above 50 years of age and 60% were males and 40% were females. 100 % of LADA patients have BMI less than 30, HbA1c greater than 8 is seen among almost all patients of LADA and low c-peptide levels is recorded in all patients with LADA. Anti-thyroid peroxidase antibodies are seen in 93% of patients diagnosed with LADA.Our study established LADA prevalence of 30% among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients and has shown role of GAD auto antibody in screening for LADA and also tried to evaluate association of age, BMI, higher HbA1c and other autoimmune diseases with LADA. This study helps us in recommending criteria for diagnosis of LADA, screen relatives of LADA patients for immune and metabolic markers to identify high risk individuals.
