Understanding Organizational Resilience of Care Homes for Older People During COVID-19 in China: A Qualitative Study with Post-Pandemic Policy Implications

ABSTRACT The COVID-19 pandemic presented unprecedented challenges for residential care homes for older people. However, the obstacles they faced and their resilience strategies have received insufficient research attention. This study, focusing on 13 residential care homes in Southeast China, addressed this research gap. The homes were visited between February and March 2023; 38 staff members (managers, nurses, social workers, and care workers) were interviewed. Thematic analysis revealed that the homes faced multidimensional challenges, including infection risks, declining mental health among residents, heavy workloads, and financial difficulties. Despite these challenges, they exhibited organizational resilience, primarily in their ability to cope with immediate issues during the pandemic, although their capacity to anticipate and adapt was weak. Factors influencing organizational resilience included their knowledge base, critical resources, a stable team with high morale and motivation, better integration of healthcare services, and government anti-COVID policies. This research highlights valuable insights for improving the quality of care in residential care homes in the post-pandemic era and in aiding policymakers and administrators in strengthening the organizational resilience of residential care homes in future crises.

حضرت عمرؓ کے خطبات سے اخذ شدہ احکام و مسائل: ایک علمی و تحقیقی مطالعہ

History is a witness to the fact that in the nature of the Arabs there was harshness, national struggle and rebellion against the royal order, but after taking shelter in the shade of Islam and receiving the grace of the companionship of the Prophet ﷺ, the heart of the Arabs became faithful. They became famous and they became possessors of high morals and character, but those who converted to Islam in the last days of the Prophethood had some traces of ignorance left in their hearts, which could not get rid of this ignorance even with the passage of time. As soon as Hazrat Umar took over the caliphate, he did not neglect his subjects in any way; there was no work that was hidden from him. The hearts of the people were greatly affected by your fear and terror, and the workers were very afraid of you, even the most rebellious could not say anything in front of you. Hazrat Umar's life is full of struggle, courage and strength, patience and steadfastness, judicial piety and humility, knowledge, insight and foresight, and the special reason for this was that during the caliphate of Hazrat Umar, the cultural condition of the Arabs changed.

Five years in the community dental service: clinicians' perspectives.

Introduction Community dentists in England treat patients classed as vulnerable. The services in which they operate have faced challenges, with these known to have affected clinicians. It is important to monitor and understand the workforce and the effect the healthcare landscape, and its changes, has on them and the service they provide.Aims To explore and describe the evolution of working conditions of community dental service (CDS) dentists in England.Materials and methods Data for a cohort of dentists working in the CDS in England between 2017 and 2022, collected via questionnaire, were statistically and thematically analysed and data compared.Results Motivation in clinicians working in the service has significantly fallen since 2017 and concerns were held over the service meeting patient need. CDS dentists have become increasingly satisfied with the care they provide, though workload and job stress increased. Satisfaction with job terms and conditions increased significantly, though job satisfaction, with high and low morale, decreased over the period of interest. Working conditions and motivation were described as deteriorating, alongside increasing satisfaction with job terms and conditions, and fewer dentists reporting low morale. Factors cited as contributing to lower job satisfaction and morale were staffing, workload and working conditions.Conclusions We suggest that despite the increased pressures on the CDS, little improvement has been made to working conditions. The working environment continues to erode for CDS dentists in England and patient service is being negatively affected. While dentists appear to have adapted to these conditions, it is imperative that attention is paid both to CDS dentists and the service and improvements made.

Human Values Mentioned in the Holy Quran and their Contemporary interpretation

In every society, there are fundamental values that strengthen it, shaping its culture, habits, transactions, beliefs, and ethics in a particular direction.

Whispered words and organizational dynamics: The nuanced evaluation of gossipers' personality and its effect on workplace advice seeking

Prior research has extensively studied workplace group dynamics within the gossip triad (i.e., sender, receiver, and target). This research shifts the focus to third-party observers outside the gossip triad, examining how they evaluate gossipers and non-gossipers, and whom they turn to for advice. Across five pre-registered experiments (N = 1400), the present work builds on an integrative definition of gossip and provides a functionalist account of observers' nuanced evaluation of gossipers' personality from a global perspective. Observers perceive gossipers as less moral and competent, but more sociable, than non-gossipers (Experiment 1). Consequently, observers are less likely to seek advice from gossipers (vs. non-gossipers) for tasks requiring high morality (e.g., enforcing ethical conduct; Experiment 2a) and high competence (e.g., managing excess inventory; Experiment 2b), yet more likely to do so for tasks requiring high sociability (e.g., organizing a welcome lunch; Experiment 2c). A moderation-of-process approach shows that incidental cues signaling morality, competence, and sociability influence observers' evaluations of and advice-seeking from gossipers (versus non-gossipers) on relevant tasks (Experiments 2a–2c). These findings remain robust in an incentive-compatible setting (Experiment 3). This research advances our understanding of observers' evaluation of gossipers and its implications for workplace advice seeking.

Deep learning-based differentiation of ventricular septal defect from tetralogy of Fallot in fetal echocardiography images.

Congenital heart disease (CHD) seriously affects children's health and quality of life, and early detection of CHD can reduce its impact on children's health. Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) and ventricular septal defect (VSD) are two types of CHD that have similarities in echocardiography. However, TOF has worse diagnosis and higher morality than VSD. Accurate differentiation between VSD and TOF is highly important for administrative property treatment and improving affected factors' diagnoses. TOF and VSD were differentiated using convolutional neural network (CNN) models that classified fetal echocardiography images. We collected 105 fetal echocardiography images of TOF and 96 images of VSD. Four CNN models, namely, VGG19, ResNet50, NTS-Net, and the weakly supervised data augmentation network (WSDAN), were used to differentiate the two congenital heart diseases. The performance of these four models was compared based on sensitivity, accuracy, specificity, and AUC. VGG19 and ResNet50 performed similarly, with AUCs of 0.799 and 0.802, respectively. A superior performance was observed with NTS-Net and WSDAN specific for fine-grained image categorization tasks, with AUCs of 0.823 and 0.873, respectively. WSDAN had the best performance among all models tested. WSDAN exhibited the best performance in differentiating between TOF and VSD and is worthy of further clinical popularization.

Ethical Leadership and Employee Knowledge Sharing With a Mediation Role Employee Moral Identity

This study investigates the direct and indirect correlation between ethical leadership and lecturers' knowledge-sharing experiences through the mechanism of moral identity. A quantitative approach was used in this research, involving 95 respondents who were permanent lecturers at Lancang Kuning University. Research findings show that ethical leadership is positively related to the act of sharing knowledge, both directly and through moral identity. In addition, the results also show that ethical leadership is positively related to moral identity, while moral identity itself is positively correlated with knowledge sharing. This study also found that moral identity acts as a mediator in the influence of ethical leadership on knowledge-sharing behavior.
