Work Place Research Articles

Analysis of the Top Articles and Authors of the Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma and Bibliometric Comparison of Impact Factors of Orthopaedic Surgery Journals.

To determine the top 100 cited authors and the top 20 articles in the Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma (JOT) and compare its impact factor to orthopaedic and non-orthopaedic surgery literature. Review. The Web of Science database was used to determine the top 100 cited authors and top 20 cited articles that originated in JOT from 1995 to the present. The total number of citations for each article and author in first, last, and any author position for publications in JOT, and the location of training and current place of work for each author were gathered. Each author's total number of citations as first author was tallied to determine the top 100 JOT first authors. The Journal Citation Reports database was searched to determine the impact factor (IF) of multiple orthopaedic and non-orthopaedic journals from 1997 to 2023. Yearly IF and yearly IF percent growth were calculated. The number of citations for the top 20 cited articles in JOT ranged from 302 to 787. Of the top 100 JOT first authors by citation number, 93 were orthopaedic surgeons. 65% of these completed a residency in the United States, 61% worked in the United States, and of the authors that work in the United States, 70.5% practice in an academic setting. From 1997 to 2023, JOT's mean yearly IF was 1.6, and the mean yearly IF percent growth was 6.1%. The mean IF for included comparison orthopaedic subspecialty journals was 2.3, with 5.6% mean yearly IF percent growth. JOT's median IF was 1.8 and was second to Injury (IF 1.9) within orthopaedic trauma journals evaluated. This bibliometric analysis shows that JOT's most cited authors are primarily U.S.-trained orthopaedic surgeons in academic environments. JOT has consistently experienced annual growth in its impact factor throughout its almost 30-year history and has one of the highest impact factors of measured orthopaedic trauma journals. IV.

What drives ostracised knowledge hiding? Negative work place gossips and neuroticism perspective

What drives ostracised knowledge hiding? Negative work place gossips and neuroticism perspective

Vybrané problémy kolizního práva pracovního

This paper is the result of research which the author's team conducted on Czech, European and international labour law, specifically in regards to cases in which an employment relationship contacts two or more legal systems of different states. "Conflict of law" rules have led to the development of specific conflict rules that determine the applicable law in a particular case. The most favoured criterion for determining the applicable law is the place of permanent workplace. The conflict rules governing the conflict of different labour law systems also implement the principle of employees' protection, which is significant for the entire body of labour law. The legal approach to determining the appropriate law is complicated in civil law because of several problems. The first issue concerns the scope of labour law. To give context to this problem, it must be considered that certain law systems, the Czech Republic including, conceive labour law as an important part of the social protection system. The labour law in such states contains a large number of rules set forth in the name of public good (overriding rules). These legal systems are reluctant to allow the application of foreign law. Therefore it is important to determine whether the legal relationship in question falls within the scope of labour law or not. The Czech Labour Code set forth its scope using the concept of dependent work. The legislature has shaped the concept by the following words: the work performed by an employee in the relation of inferiority to an employer, when an employee works personally, respecting the employer's instructions, in the employer's name, for payments, in working hours or at another stipulated time, at the work place or some other agreed upon location, at the employer's expense and responsibility. The Czech Labour Code must be applied to govern the legal relationship in the performance of dependent work. Parties shall not violate this rule. The second issue is the qualification problem. What is in the Czech Republic understood as an employment relationship may be classified as a private relationship in another law system. The same is true for the determination of private and public law. States usually do not allow application of foreign public law on their territory. Thus, it is vital to know whether the legislature considers labour law as a part of public or private law. However, some legal systems do not follow such classification at all. That is the reason why this article concentrates on the comparative research of German, Greek, Russian and Slovak labour law conflict rules.

Relationship between Work Environment and Employee Performance among Public Servants Attending Senior Management Course in Kenya

Purpose: The aim of this study was to establish the relationship between work environment and work performance of employees in public service in Kenya. This was necessitated by the numerous challenges faced by public servants amidst the budgetary constraints and increased taxes making the work environment laced with high stress levels that are either work-related or personal. The study therefore sort to determine the factors within the work environment and how they influence an employee’s work performance. Methodology: The research design adapted was use of cross-sectional research survey, the target population was Public Servants represented by KSG Senior Management Course class 409/2023. The sample was 76 of the 112 public servants in the SMC 409/2023 class selected through simple random sampling. Data was collected using structured questionnaires, data analysis done descriptively and inferentially using Microsoft Excel and SPSS version 27. The results were presented through use of pie charts and tables. Findings: 96.1% percent of the respondents believed that the work environment positively affected their job performance, which is 72 respondents, while 1.3% believed that it does not, which is only one respondent. Two respondents were unsure if the work environment affects their job performance. In the measurement of the extent of the work environment influencing their performance, 59.7% of them (46) agreed that it has very strong effects. 24.7% (19) respondents believed that work environment has a strong impact on their performance, 7.8% were not sure if it has or doesn't, 5.2% (4) respondents disagreed that each has an effect on the performance, while two people strongly disagreed if it has which is 2.6 percent. 46.8%, that is 36 people, were satisfied with their current work environment. 6.5%, which is five people, were very satisfied with their current work environment. 23.4%, 18 respondents, were neither satisfied nor dissatisfied with their current work environment, 16.7% (13) respondents were dissatisfied with their current work environment, and 5, 6.5%, were very dissatisfied with their current work environment. Unique contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: This study findings were important for theory because they brought forth new information about the levels of work performance among public servants. For practice, the study will guide on measures that can be done as recommendations to improve work performance and In Policy, the public service can utilize data from this study to improve on their work place policies to inculcate the unique needs of public servants thus hoping implementation will promote work performance.

PERCEPTION OF MAIDS AND NANNIES AS “NECESSARY EVILS” BY BAYERO UNIVERSITY KANO FEMALE STUDENTS’ EMPLOYERS

This paper explores the views of Bayero University Kano female students’ employers toward maids and nannies – girls aged 8 to 15 – who they engage to help them care for their children and in the performance of some household chores. Without the services of these maids and nannies, many such students may be constrained to pursue their education and career. The women employers are privileged, high status individuals; the maids and nannies, on the other hand, are poor and drawn mainly from rural areas, compelled to take up such employment to help put food on the table for their families. Interviews with the respondents (the employers of the maids and nannies) revealed that despite sorely needing the services of the maids and nannies, they have a poor perception of them, they are “a necessary evil.” The irony of the fact that the maids and nannies are children who risk physical and emotional hazards, in addition to being deprived of the opportunity to pursue education is lost on their employers and the larger society that turned a blind eye to it. In other words, as long as the conditions that propel young children to seek jobs as domestic workers persist, and for as long as there are no alternatives for the privileged urban-based woman, child domestic work will continue. The paper recommends that child employment and compulsory education legislations be enforced in addition to the provision of crèche facilities at tertiary institutions and work places, where none exists, as a panacea to the problem.

Occupational Injuries and Fatalities in Norwegian Fish Farming

ABSTRACT Objective People working in the Norwegian fish farming industry work in a high energy environment, where there are many hazards in the daily work. An important part of mitigating hazardous situations is to keep track of the characteristics of the accidents that have already happened and to learn from these, when planning future work. The objective of this study was to strengthen the knowledge of factors and conditions influencing personnel safety in Norwegian fish farming, based on analyses of registered occupational fatalities and injuries. Methods We gathered reported injuries and fatalities from vessels and fish farms from three different registries. Two of these are based on mandatory reporting to authorities, and one is a privately maintained registry. The accidents from the three registries are analyzed separately, and different types of characteristics are presented. Results The results demonstrate that fall and crush/impact are the most common types of accidents both on vessels and fish farms. Other characteristics described are the type of vessels involved and during which type of operations injuries happened. During the last 10 years, fatalities have happened mainly in relation to lifting and maintenance operations. The reported accidents are discussed in relation to the quality of accident reports, the development in the industry towards more specialized and outsourced operations, and it points to some of the major challenges that the industry faces when planning for safe working places and operations. Conclusion This overview can be used in the fish farming industry as a basis for going into further details about how accident prevention should be planned.

Workplace violence and associated factors against nurses working in public hospitals in Ethiopia: a systematic review and meta-analysis

BackgroundThe issue of workplace violence (WPV) directed at nurses is a chronic and global public health concern. Numerous studies on workplace violence in Ethiopia have been conducted; however, the results have been inconsistent. The review aims to identify the pooled prevalence and associated factors of workplace violence against nurses.MethodsA systematic and methodical literature search was conducted using electronic databases such as Google Scholar, EMBASE I, Scopus, PubMed, HINAR, the Web of Science, and the African Journal Online (AJOL). Each original study’s efficacy and quality were assessed using a modified Newcastle-Ottawa scale (NOS) technique designed for cross-sectional research. The Cochrane Q and I2 test statistics were used to verify the heterogeneity of the studies. Using a random effect model, the pooled estimate of workplace violence among nurses was calculated.ResultThe pooled estimate of workplace violence among nurses in Ethiopia was 39.43% (95% CI: 27.63, 51.23). Female nurse (POR = 2.25; 95% CI: 1.29, 3.92), short work experience (POR = 3.25; 95% CI: 2.37, 4.45), and living without a spouse (POR = 2.03; 95% CI: 1.03, 3.99) were identified factors associated with workplace violence.ConclusionThis study found that about two-fifths of nurses encounter workplace violence. According to this study, there was a significant association between work place violence among Nurses and being female, having less job experience, and being single. To address this issue, the Federal Ministry of Health (FMOH), policymakers, and other stakeholders should prioritize interventions aimed at reducing workplace violence.

Changes in Vertical Stratification of Neotropical Nymphalid Butterflies at Forest Edges Are Not Directly Caused by Light and Temperature Conditions.

Habitat fragmentation and land use changes threaten neotropical habitats and alter patterns of diversity at forest edges. Like other arthropod assemblages, neotropical fruit-feeding butterfly communities show strong vertical stratification within forests, with some recent work showing its potential role in speciation. At forest edges, species considered to be forest canopy specialists have been observed descending to the forest understory, with the similarity in light conditions between the canopy and understory strata at edges hypothesized to be responsible for this phenomenon. We conducted a study using standardized sampling to document and quantify this edge effect, characterize edge and forest strata, and estimate the relative contributions of temperature and light conditions to changes in nymphalid butterfly stratification at forest edges. We found strong evidence of an edge effect in these butterflies and confirmed strong differences in light and temperature, showing that the edge understory differs little from forest canopy conditions. Of 41 species common to both forests and edges, 28 shifted to have a lower canopy probability at the edge, and our model detected a decrease in canopy probability of 0.165. Furthermore, our analysis indicated the relative abundance of canopy taxa increased at the edge, and the tribes Haeterini and Morphini were especially sensitive to edge effects. However, the analyses here did not clearly implicate temperature or light magnitude in causing changes in neotropical nymphalid vertical stratification at forest edges. Instead, our results point to other mediator variables as being important for changes at tropical forest edges. From our data, edge-responsive species can be separated into two different categories, which likely relates to their resilience to anthropogenic disturbance. We also note that structural causal models have a potential place in future work on tropical conservation, given they can provide causal estimates with observational data.

Fire safety knowledge and emergency preparedness assessment among health care workers at three hospitals in Kunene region, Namibia

BackgroundHospital preparedness for accidents like fires is essential because fire outbreaks in healthcare settings can occur anytime and require quick responses. Therefore, this study assessed the knowledge of fire safety and emergency preparedness among healthcare workers, as well as the predictors of knowledge of fire safety and emergency preparedness among healthcare workers.MethodsAn institutional-based descriptive cross-sectional online survey was employed to assess knowledge of fire safety and emergency preparedness among 257 healthcare workers from three hospitals in the Kunene region. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were carried out using STATA version 18. Frequencies and percentages were used in the descriptive statistics and Pearson’s chi square test, correlation analysis and logistic regression were adapted for the inferential statistics. The statistical significance level was set at p-value ≤ 0.05 at 95% confidence interval.ResultsThe study observed that 72.76% of the healthcare workers lack adequate level of knowledge concerning emergency preparedness while 73.15% of healthcare workers lack sufficient knowledge regarding fire safety. The findings further indicated that there is a strong relationship (r = 0.992) between fire safety knowledge and emergency preparedness among healthcare workers. The study findings also shows that gender (< 0.0001), and place of work (< 0.0001) were associated with knowledge of fire safety and emergency preparedness. Male participants were more likely to have adequate knowledge of fire safety (aOR: 3.74; 95%CI: 2.016 – 6.950) and emergency preparedness (aOR: 3.64; 95%CI: 1.956 – 6.756) compared to females. The healthcare workers at Khorixas district hospital had lower odds (aOR: 0.354; 95%CI: 0.173 – 0.724) of having adequate knowledge of emergency preparedness compared to those working at the Opuwo hospital.ConclusionThe majority of the studied healthcare professionals did not have adequate knowledge regarding emergency preparedness. Addressing the gaps in fire safety knowledge and preparedness among healthcare workers is critical to ensuring a safe healthcare environment. By implementing targeted training programs and safety protocols, healthcare facilities can significantly enhance their emergency response capabilities, ultimately safeguarding both staff and patients.

Cremated Bone in Archaeology: Ethical Considerations in the Excavation, Analysis, Storage, and Display of Cremated Bone in the United Kingdom

ABSTRACTIn the United Kingdom, the study of archaeological cremated human remains has risen exponentially over the past three decades. Consequently, we are gaining a more rounded understanding of past communities, rather than a skewed perspective caused by an overreliance on studies of human remains from inhumation graves. Yet, ethical considerations related to the excavation, recording, analysis, storage, and display of cremated remains are not explicitly explored in the literature. This paper redresses this imbalance and explores the key ethical challenges based on the authors' professional experiences in commercial archaeology, universities, and museums. Recommendations for best ethical practice are provided and are aimed at all relevant parties who may encounter cremated bone in their place of work. Clearly, best practice can only be achieved by ensuring practitioners (including students) have appropriate ethics training, including consulting with specialists where experience of cremated human bone may be lacking within a team. The attainment of standardized ethical protocols explicitly addressing cremated remains and implementing training initiatives should be spearheaded by professional bodies. Ultimately, we hope this paper will encourage the inclusion of cremated remains in ethical discourses within archaeology, osteoarchaeology, and museology.

Epistemic placemaking: collective reimagining of spaces for more sustainable, equitable and inclusive futures

ABSTRACT If university students can do many of their activities anywhere, how do students decide what is best done at different locations? This paper introduces the concept of ‘epistemic placemaking’ as a capability to understand how to best equip and arrange places for knowledge work. Epistemic placemaking involves making choices based on the understanding of how where we work (study, learn, inquire, collaborate) affects what we do, feel and achieve. It involves finding, creating, furnishing and reconfiguring congenial places for learning. Epistemic placemaking is also about working with others to create an environment that realises aspirations for connection, community and wellbeing. Epistemic placemakers need to commit to values such as inclusion, equity and sustainability. We sketch some ways of supporting students to co-design and co-configure the places they need and suggest ideas to inform students’ (epistemic) placemaking, including understandings about the materiality of learning, socio-political influences, practices of care and repair, and wellbeing. We outline some foundations for a curriculum for epistemic placemaking in postdigital universities.

The (after)lives of the pseudo-sumptuous surfaces: the case of the Venetian Gothic and Renaissance wooden sculpture in the Adriatic

This paper discusses the alterations to the surface of the 15th- and early-16th-century wooden sculpture, mostly executed by Venetian workshops for the clientele of the minor centres of the Adriatic region. It examines the cases of wooden statues that imitated metalwork via their glittering surfaces by considering both the place of such works in their time and their “afterlives”, given that their original appearance was regularly altered in the following centuries. The sparkling effect of the pseudo-sumptuous surfaces was replaced by polychromy covering the draperies in mimetic colours. The instances of the reverse approach are also considered, given that in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, several late medieval artworks were repainted to mimic bronze or marble. These converging approaches to the surface of wooden sculpture tackle the issue of taste and the meaning of surface in the reception of sacred art in an extensive time frame.

Public's perception of policies reducing tobacco availability by regulating the tobacco retail environment: A case study in Egypt.

The tobacco industry presence in the retail environment ensures its access to current and potential tobacco users. Reduction of tobacco retail is an emerging tobacco control measure. Many policies that would potentially lead to reduction in retail are not covered by international tobacco laws and are individually adopted in some jurisdictions. This study examines public perception on potential effect of suggested policies in one of the few countries where tobacco market is increasing, Egypt. A cross-sectional online survey study was implemented in Egypt, June 2023 to March 2024 to assess the perception of the public towards 12 suggested policies that aim to reduce both tobacco availability and purchase by regulating the tobacco retail environment. The survey was disseminated through social media and 320 completed responses were received. Responses on perception followed five-point Likert scales. Participants felt they could easily access tobacco products around places of residence, work, and study. The largest proportion of participants (53.1%) reported good agreement that the suggested policies would have an impact in reducing tobacco availability and retail, while 39.7% had fair agreement, and only 7.2% had poor agreement. Most participants believe that policies reducing tobacco availability and sales would be effective. Non-users rated these policies as more effective than tobacco users. Younger adults viewed these policies more favorably than older adults. The study suggests public support for tobacco control measures to address the prevalent tobacco retail environment in Egypt, indicating a need for policymakers to adopt these measures to protect future generations. Additional research using larger randomly selected populations in Egypt is needed to corroborate these results.

Design proposal for an ionisation chamber as a secondary standard for eye lens dosimetry

We propose a system to directly measure Hp (3) quantity both in calibration conditions at laboratories and at arbitrary conditions at irradiation facilities. A commercial ionisation chamber is inserted in a spherical phantom of PMMA such that the system achieves a relatively constant response in terms of Hp (3) and matches the requirements for a secondary standard for Hp (3) quantity. The Hp (3) ionisation chamber was characterized in a dosimetry calibration laboratory under reference conditions and then, as a proof of concept, it was also tested in a work place field at an interventional cardiology department from a hospital. The design method and the measurement results are presented.

AWARENESS AND INTEREST OF RESIDENTS OF THE KHARKIV REGION IN HEALTHCARE FACILITIES SUSTAINABILITY

Aim. To show the level of interest and awareness of the residents of the Kharkiv region in the management of waste, air quality, and water resources in healthcare facilities. Materials and methods. An adapted version of WHO Europe‘s Behavioural Insights tool was used in the randomized survey of 2114 respondents. The results were processed using jamovi v. 2.3, which is distributed under the rights of an open license by the methods of descriptive statistics. Results. The greening of healthcare facilities often is a result of society’s request. Public's environmental awareness and their interest in the sustainable management of environmental resources in Ukraine's healthcare facilities was the object of this research. Three questions in the block on environmental issues were analyzed: the possible impact of environmental resource management on the environment in healthcare facilities; choice of healthcare facilities based on information about the management of environmental resources; and opinion on the level of attention of healthcare managers to the management of environmental resources. Received answers were grouped depending on the place of residence, educational level, presence of chronic diseases, and place of work (depending on belonging to the field of healthcare). Conclusions. Residents of the Kharkiv region have a rather high awareness in ecological issues and interest in monitoring the management of environmental resources in healthcare facilities. Consider that the attention of the CEOs of healthcare facilities to the management of environmental resources is insufficient. Awareness of the relationship between human activity and the quality of the environment is at a high level. Information about the quality of environmental resource management in healthcare facilities is important.

Moderating Role of Resilience between Work Stress and Death Anxiety Among Dolphin Police

The present study aimed to investigate the Moderating role of Resilience between Work Stress and Death Anxiety among Dolphin Police. The study was conducted using a cross-sectional correlational survey research design. The purposive sampling technique was used to collect data from the Dolphin Police of Rawalpindi and Lahore (N=250). Adult Resilience Measurement (ARM) (Liebenberg, 2018), Work Place Stress Scale (WPSS) (Martin Company, 2001), and Death Anxiety Scale (DAS) (Templer, 1970) were used to measure study variables. Statistical analysis, including correlational, regression, and moderation analysis, was conducted to examine the relationships between variables and the influence of demographic factors. The statistical analysis revealed that there is a positive relation between Work Stress and Death Anxiety. The negative relation between Resilience and Work Stress, while the relationship between Resilience and Death Anxiety, was also proved negative. The moderating role of resilience between Work Stress and Death Anxiety among Dolphin Police has been proved. The findings of the study help to comprehend how the role of Resilience among Dolphin Police may increase or decrease Work Stress and Death Anxiety. By prioritizing resilience-building initiatives and providing robust mental health support in the workplace, police departments can foster a healthier, more resilient workforce. These efforts are essential for ensuring that police officers are well-equipped to handle the demands of their profession and maintain their psychological well-being.

The role of work place well-being and workload on mental health case study: Non-Civil Service Lecturer Halu Oleo University Kendari, Indonesia in 2024

Background: Mental health reflects an individual's emotional, psychological, and social state that allows them to cope with work stress, work productively, and contribute positively to the organization. A preliminary survey using an interview method for ten subjects from a total of 300 non-Civil Service lecturers at Halu Oleo University. This interview includes a number of questions, such as the identity of non-Civil Service lecturers, length of service, their views on their work, relationships with leaders and colleagues, and work environment conditions. The results of the interview revealed that the average non-Civil Service lecturer at UHO has a working period of about one year. Methods: The type of research used is a correlational quantitative research. Research methods are basically a scientific way to obtain data with specific purposes and uses. Based on this, there are four keywords that need to be considered, namely scientific methods, data, objectives and uses . Correlational research is a type of research with problem characteristics in the form of correlational relationships between two or more variables. Results: The results showed that the variable Work Place Well-Being had a weak correlation value with an appreciative value of p = 0.452 for mental health. For the workload variable, it showed a weak correlation with a significant value of p = 0.976 to the mental helath. Conclusion: The conclusion in this study is that there is a weak correlation between Work Place Well-Being and workload with helath.

Религиозные мотивы в дастане «Идегей»

The purpose of the study: An analysis and systematization of religious motives in the Tatar versions of the epos “Idegey”. Research materials: The main sources are published and archival Tatar versions of the epos “Idegey”, research by famous folklorists, and information from literary and scientific sources. The scientific novelty of the study arises from the fact that an attempt to systematize religious motives in the dastan “Idegey” was based on the study of existing research and a comparative analysis of different options from archival sources. Research results: This work proves that, compared to the mythological layer, the religious layer of the epos is not so rich. In general, even the used and preserved part has an enormous semantic load and artistic and aesthetic value. The work explores motives showing the attitude of Toktamysh Khan, Idegey, and Nuradyn to religion, and images associated with the cult of Islam such as Allah (Alla, Tengri), Ghazazil, angels, gurias, etc. According to the author, unlike religious genres, especially munajats and baits, religious ideology and motives do not occupy a large place in epic works. But they have a certain functional load. Religious motives are not limited to the narration of the people’s attitude of that era to religion; they also contribute to the understanding of religious, philosophical, and moral views while revealing what place religion occupied among the masses of that times.

SUPPORT SYSTEM AS A PREREQUISITE FOR THE SUCCESSFUL ADAPTATION OF NOVICE TEACHERS

The process of adaptation of any person to the new place of work is an important stage that contributes to the further motivation both to stay in a particular place of work and to continue to be a representative of the chosen profession. Encouraging novice teachers to remain in their chosen profession is the actuality of the modern educational space. It is therefore important to evaluate all possible support tools and resources for the adaptation of novice teachers, as well as to identify opportunities for their useful, meaningful and targeted use. Thus, the questions become relevant: "What factors contribute to the adaptation of a novice teacher in a general education school?" and "What support system is needed for the successful adaptation of novice teachers in general education schools?".This article, without excluding other possibilities and probabilities, will examine the factors contributing to and hindering the successful adaptation process of novice teachers who started working in general education schools, the offer of support measures from both a historical and contemporary perspective, choosing the situation of the Latvian state as the basis for the study. The importance of the support system for the successful adaptation of novice teachers will also be highlighted. The research is based on the study of theoretical literature and the personal experience of the author of the publication (as a novice teacher).The aim of the article is to study the offer of existing support systems for novice teachers, based on periodicals, various scientific publications, legislative regulations, OECD and other educational studies, as well as the content analysis of other historical sources, and to identify elements of the model of successful adaptation of novice teachers. This will become the basis for further empirical research, the result of which will be the development of an adaptation model for novice teachers. The research method: theoretical analysis of scientific literature and sources. As a result of theoretical research, based on the content analysis of various historical sources and international research, the following elements of the support system have been identified as the most important: participation in mentoring introductory programmes, the attraction of a teacher-mentor from an educational institution, introductory training, opportunities for self-expression, the quality of mutual relations in the school team. More on these and other aspects of the adaptation of novice teachers in the main part of the article.It should be noted that the study was conducted within the framework of the educational situation in Latvia, therefore, further research would be necessary to confirm the results in the international educational context.
