A Theoretical Analysis of the Mission Statement Based on the Axiological Approach

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

The aim of this work is focused on a theoretical analysis of formulating the mission statement of business organizations in relation to the idea of the organizational axiological core. On one hand, we consider the CSR-Corporate Social Responsibility which, in our view, must be brought into direct connection both with the moral entrepreneurship (which should support the philosophical perspective of the statement of business organizations mission) and the purely economic entrepreneurship based on profit maximization (which should support the pragmatic perspective). On the other hand, an analysis of the moral concepts which should underpin business is becoming fundamental, in our view, as far as the idea of the social specific value of the social entrepreneurship is evidenced. Therefore, our approach highlights a number of epistemic explanations in relation to the actual practice dimension.
The experiences of adoptive parents rearing children with reactive attachment disorder : A systematic literature review

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Reactive attachment disorder (RAD) is characterised by severely underdeveloped or absent attachment between a child and a caregiver. Adopted children who have experienced adverse early experiences prior to adoption may have lacked opportunities to form selective attachment relationships and, in rare cases, may have a diagnosis of reactive attachment disorder. The needs of adoptive families rearing children with special needs, such as children with a RAD diagnosis, are unique and it is crucial to understand the experiences of the families in order to increase the understanding of how to provide support and adequate services and interventions that respond to the needs of the families. Previous research focusing on adoptive parents’ experiences rearing children with a RAD diagnosis is scarce. Therefore, this systematic literature review aimed to explore their experiences. After a comprehensive literature search, seven articles that addressed the study aim and met the predefined inclusion criteria were included. A thematic synthesis was carried out to combine the results of the included articles. The findings suggest that adoptive families rearing children with a RAD diagnosis experience a wide range of challenges in their everyday lives, such as a lack of social network support and adequate support, services and interventions from professionals and service providers. Some facilitative factors, such as adoptive parents’ willingness to stay committed to their children, were found. Further research is needed to find out effective interventions to address the complex challenges adoptive families and their children with a RAD diagnosis experience. Study limitations and methodological considerations are discussed.
Délimitation d'une réserve forestière totale: approche par l'étude de la végétation | Vegetation study to determine the optimal surface area of an unmanaged forest reserve

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Forestry law in Switzerland allows cantonal authorities to define forest reserve areas of at least 5 ha. During a university field-training course in botany, postgraduate students carried out vegetation studies to determine the most appropriate size for an area of completely unmanaged forest reserve within a forest division near Bevaix (canton of Neuchâtel). On the 50 plots of an experimental grid a phytosociological survey and forest mensurations were carried out and the amount of dead wood was determined. Plant biodiversity and tree regeneration were studied by means of a plant survey. Each plot was assigned a score depending on its specific value to a forest reserve. Results suggest that a surface area of 7 ha is most likely to achieve the goal. The grid points of the chosen plots are permanently marked in the field, in order to facilitate further inventories and follow-up studies.
The Feasibility and Preliminary Efficacy of an eHealth Lifestyle Program in Women with Recent Gestational Diabetes Mellitus: A Pilot Study

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Self-administered eHealth interventions provide a potential low-cost solution for reducing diabetes risk. The aim of this pilot randomised controlled trial (RCT) was to evaluate the feasibility, including recruitment, retention, preliminary efficacy (primary outcome) and acceptability (secondary outcome) of the “Body Balance Beyond” eHealth intervention in women with previous gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Women with overweight/obesity who had recent GDM (previous 24 months) were randomised into one of three groups: 1) high personalisation (access to “Body Balance Beyond” website, individual telehealth coaching via video call by a dietitian and exercise physiologist, and text message support); 2) low personalisation (website only); or 3) waitlist control. To evaluate preliminary efficacy, weight (kg), glycosylated hemoglobin, type A1C (HbA1c), cholesterol (total, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL)), diet quality and moderate–vigorous physical activity were analysed at baseline and at 3 and 6 months using generalised linear mixed models. To investigate acceptability, process evaluation was conducted at 3 and 6 months. Of the 327 potential participants screened, 42 women (mean age 33.5 ± 4.0 years and BMI 32.4 ± 4.3 kg/m2) were randomised, with 30 (71%) completing the study. Retention at 6 months was 80%, 54% and 79% for high personalisation, low personalisation and waitlist control, respectively (reasons: personal/work commitments, n = 4; started weight-loss diet, n = 1; pregnant, n = 1; resources not useful, n = 1; and not contactable, n = 5). No significant group-by-time interactions were observed for preliminary efficacy outcomes, with the exception of HDL cholesterol, where a difference favoured the low personalisation group relative to the control (p = 0.028). The majority (91%) of women accessed the website in the first 3 months and 57% from 4–6 months. The website provided useful information for 95% and 92% of women at 3 and 6 months, respectively, although only a third of women found it motivating (30% and 25% at 3 and 6 months, respectively). Most women agreed that the telehealth coaching increased their confidence for improving diet (85%) and physical activity (92%) behaviours, although fewer women regarded the text messages as positive (22% and 31% for improving diet and physical activity, respectively). The majority of women (82% at 3 months and 87% at 6 months) in the high personalisation group would recommend the program to other women with GDM. Recruiting and retaining women with a recent diagnosis of GDM is challenging. The “Body Balance Beyond” website combined with telehealth coaching via video call is largely acceptable and useful for women with recent GDM. Further analysis of the effect on diabetes risk reduction in a larger study is needed.
Registration of ‘Dagmar’ hard red spring wheat

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Abstract ‘Dagmar’ hard red spring wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) (Reg. no. CV‐1158, PI 690450) was released by the Montana Agricultural Experiment Station because of its excellent yield potential in dryland areas of Montana, solid stems, and superior end‐use quality. Dagmar was a selection from the cross MT1133/MT1148 and was tested as experimental line MT1621. Dagmar has similar grain yield potential to ‘Vida’, the most widely grown cultivar in Montana. Stems of Dagmar are more solid than those of Vida, suggesting increased resistance to the wheat stem sawfly ( Cephus cinctus Norton). Dagmar has higher grain protein and stronger gluten than Vida. Thus, Dagmar should be useful in Montana and adjoining states facing drought and wheat stem sawfly pressure.

Chondrilla juncea L. in Australia. I. Some factors affecting flowering

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The interaction between day length and vernalization, and the influence of growth temperature on flowering, in Chondrilla juncea L. (skeleton weed) have been studied. Bolting and floral initiation in unvernalized plants were suppressed in a 9-hr photoperiod. Increasing the photoperiod beyond 12 hr resulted in progressively earlier bolting and floral initiation, the critical day length being slightly less than 12 hr. Interrupting a 16-hr dark period by 1 hr of low-intensity light near its centre caused some plants to flower. Prior vernalization further accelerated bolting and flowering and reduced the dependence on day length. Vernalization, however, was not an obligate requirement. Post-bolting development was favoured by high temperatures. It was concluded that flowering in skeleton weed occurred in two stages. The first or photo-inductive phase was controlled by at least two partial processes. These were vernalization and a photoperiodic response in which the length of the dark period was the critical factor. The relationship of the flowering processes to the distribution of skeleton weed in Australia is discussed briefly.
The separation of vanillate o-demethylase from protocatechuate 3,4-oxygenase by ultracentrifugation

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

1. Protocatechuate 3,4-oxygenase in the soluble part of a cell-free extract of Pseudomonas fluorescens (strain T) sedimented more rapidly than vanillate O-demethylase under specified conditions in a preparative ultracentrifuge. 2. The supernatant from this process contained vanillate O-demethylase and formaldehyde dehydrogenase, and when supplemented with NADH oxidized vanillate with an uptake of 1 mole of oxygen/mole of substrate and accumulation of protocatechuate. 3. This uptake was decreased to 0·5mole/mole of substrate in the presence of semicarbazide as trapping agent for formaldehyde. 4. Reasons are presented for the process of methyl group removal from vanillate being oxidative demethylation.

White women’s learning: Raising consciousness through anti-racist work

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This dissertation explored how white women engaged in anti-racist work with a focus on the transformative processes through which they developed critical consciousness about race, privilege, and white supremacy. Beginning in 2022 in the wake of George Floyd’s murder and the subsequent global racial uprising, this feminist, anti-racist auto-ethnographic study examined the experiences of white women who responded to these events by reengaging or deepening their commitment to anti-racism. This research analyzed the emotional, intellectual, and social dimensions of white women’s anti-racist learning, exploring how discomfort, cognitive dissonance, and collective action served as catalysts for transformation. Using qualitative methods, including interviews, personal reflections, and thematic analysis, the study identified three principal pathways of engagement: participation in anti-racist communities such as book clubs and workshops, self-guided learning, and direct action through activism and advocacy. Emotional processing emerged as a central component of the women’s journeys. The women navigated and processed feelings of guilt, fear, and shame to cultivate a critical awareness of their complicity in systems of oppression. The findings revealed that community and relational networks were vital for sustaining anti-racist efforts, providing spaces for processing emotions, critical reflection, dialogue, accountability, and solidarity. The study highlights the influences of life stage, geography, and personal circumstances that influenced the ebb and flow of the women’s work, emphasizing the non-linear and dynamic nature of their anti-racist praxis. The research contributes to critical whiteness studies (CWS) by advancing an intersectional understanding of whiteness that accounts for its interaction with gender, class, and daily lived experiences. This dissertation argued that white women’s anti-racist work required embracing discomfort as an integral part of growth and transformation. By fostering spaces for collective learning and emotional resilience, this research underscores the importance of sustained engagement as a means for dismantling white supremacy. These findings offered practical implications for educators, activists, and policymakers seeking to cultivate critical consciousness and promote social justice in an era of intensified racial inequity.

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

This study aims to identify the impact of strategic leadership (SL) in enhancing strategic performance (SP) using the balanced scorecard (BSC) approach in Jordanian higher education institutions. In addition to identifying what change management (CM) can provide in explaining the role of SL in enhancing SP. The study population consisted of all official universities in Jordan, which numbered (11) official universities. The study followed a comprehensive survey method, where questionnaires were distributed to all official universities. The sampling unit consisted of deans of colleges in official Jordanian universities. The sample size was 350 respondents. The recovered questionnaires were (238) questionnaires. The results of analyzing the study data indicated that there was an effect for all dimensions of SL on SP. The study also found that all dimensions of SL affect SP in Jordanian official universities. Finally, the results of the data analysis indicated that the CM variable plays a mediating role in the impact of SL on SP. Based on the results, the study recommends the need for Jordanian official universities to pay attention to strengthening aspects of SL among current and future leaders and raising them to higher levels.
Ascariasis of the pancreatic duct

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Ascariasis is a common helminthic disease worldwide, although Lithuania and other European countries are not considered endemic areas. The presence of the Ascaris worm in the biliary tree causes choledocholithiasis-like symptoms. We report a case of pancreatic duct ascariasis causing such symptoms. A 73-year-old Lithuanian woman underwent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) suspecting choledocholithiasis. Contrast injection into the common bile duct demonstrated a slightly dilated biliary tree without any filling defects, and the tail of an Ascaris worm protruding from the opening of the papilla Vater. The worm was captured by a snare but escaped deep into the duct. After a small wirsungotomy the worm was retrieved from the pancreatic duct. The patient received a 150 mg dose of levamisole orally repeated 7 days later and was discharged after complete resolution of symptoms. This first reported sporadic case of pancreatic duct ascariasis in Lithuania was successfully treated with ERCP and Levamisole.
What Intensity of Exercise Is Most Suitable for the Elderly in China? A Propensity Score Matching Analysis

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Abstract Background The strategy of successful ageing is an important means to deal with the challenges of the current ageing society. This paper aims to explore the effects of different intensities of physical activity on the successful ageing of the elderly. Methods Our data were from wave 4 of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Survey (CHARLS), involving 9,026 residents aged 60 years and older. The intensity of physical activity was divided into three levels: vigorous, moderate and mild. The concept of successful ageing adopted a four-dimensional model of life satisfaction added to the theoretical model of Rowe and Kahn's. Propensity score matching (PSM) with controlling nine confounding factors were used to analyse the effects of different intensities of physical activity. Results The percentage of successful ageing was 1.88% among all subjects. Among them, 30.26%, 29.57% and 29.40% of the elderly often participated in vigorous, moderate and mild physical activity, respectively. The results of PSM showed that participation in moderate activity increased the probability of successful ageing of the elderly by 0.76–0.78% ( P < 0.001), while participation in vigorous and mild physical activity had no significant effect on successful ageing ( P > 0.05). Conclusion Moderate-intensity physical activity was most beneficial to the successful ageing of the elderly and should be promoted in the elderly population.
Dietary and Physical Activity Correlates of Muscle Mass in 60–65-Year-Old Seniors: A Gender-Specific Analysis

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Introduction: Sarcopenia and loss of skeletal muscle mass represent major public health concerns in aging populations. Although both diet and physical activity (PA) are recognized as modifiable determinants of muscle mass, their effects may differ by sex. This study aimed to examine dietary and behavioral correlates of muscle mass amongst community-dwelling adults aged 60–65 in Central Poland. Methods: The study included 134 women and 138 men. Body composition was assessed using bioelectrical impedance (Maltron Bioscan 920, Essex, UK). Dietary intake was evaluated using a 24 h recall analyzed with Dieta 5.0 software. PA was measured using the Seven-Day Physical Activity Recall Questionnaire and the Stanford Physical Activity Indices. Statistical analysis included bivariate correlations and general linear modeling performed separately for women and men. Results: In women, skeletal muscle mass (as a percent of body mass) showed significant positive associations with protein intake per kilogram of body weight, magnesium, phosphorus, and moderate health-related PA. Concomitantly, there was a negative correlation with lipids such as long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). In multivariate models, protein intake remained the only predictor. In men, only protein intake per kilogram of body weight demonstrated a significant association with muscle mass; no other dietary or PA factors were retained in the model. Conclusions: The findings indicate that dietary and behavioral factors influencing muscle mass vary by sex. While muscle mass in women is linked to multiple nutritional and lifestyle factors, men appear primarily responsive to total protein intake. These sex-specific differences may underscore the importance of tailored strategies in sarcopenia prevention.
