TAILORING EFFECTIVE USE MODEL OF BIG DATA IN MANAGERIAL CONTEXT: INSIGHTS FROM AN EMPIRICAL STUDY IN ARMENIAN COMPANIES

This article explores the managerial dimensions of the big data phenomenon, focusing on the challenge of customizing an effective use model within companies. The central inquiry revolves around tailoring such a model to suit the specific needs of big data-user companies. To address this, the study adopts a conceptual framework proposed by Surbakti and his co-authors, which delineates the effective use of big data. The primary methodology involves quantitative analysis of data gathered from 211 surveys completed by Armenian industry professionals. Examination of the collected data through statistical analysis reveals the presence of two distinct cohorts within the realm of big data users: “novice users” and “advanced users.” The main theoretical contribution that we aim for in this research is empirically proving the global validity of the studied model and demonstrating its flexibility of application in these two types of use cases of big data. While the conceptual model is found to be applicable to both types of users, its implementation varies significantly between the two groups. Therefore, from a managerial point of view, our results lead a manager to first think about the maturity of its company in terms of big data. Implementing a solution is not enough. By thinking in terms of novice vs. advanced, it creates two different managerial courses of action. Moreover, we propose the variables a manager has to analyze depending on this maturity.

Mastalgia - The Burden Beneath.

Mastalgia is the most common breast-related complaint. A multitude of hormonal changes and lifestyle associated factors have been implicated in its causation. A long list of treatment modalities have been tried with varying success rates. To identify the most common risk factors and the most effective management strategies for mastalgia in our clinic population. A total of 100 women between 18-65 years of age presenting to the breast clinic with mastalgia were followed throughout their course of diagnosis and management. Stepwise treatment was provided, starting with reassurance and breast support and progressing to include pharmacological measures, when necessary. The risk factors and outcomes of treatment were analysed. The majority (66%) were aged 25-47 years and the left breast was found to be most frequently involved. Involvement of the upper outer quadrant was significantly more common. Lump/nodularity was the most prevalent risk factor. Most patients showed a positive response to non-steroid anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs) in addition to reassurance, breast support and dietary changes. A detailed history and clinical examination helps to identify the risk factors and the best approach for the management of mastalgia. Educating women regarding breast self-examination at regular intervals helps in early presentation and diagnosis of the underlying condition. Reassurance, breast support and lifestyle changes are the first line treatment and have good results in a significant number of patients. In our practice topical and oral NSAIDs, evening primrose oil and vitamin E were frequently used as additional treatments to non-pharmacological methods.

Contrasting Learning and Unlearning in Project Environments

This study utilized a project assignment task within a master’s course in project management to investigate the dynamics of learning, unlearning, and adaptation in project-based environments. The assignment aimed to enhance students’ understanding of effective project management, raise awareness of associated challenges, and develop crucial soft skills. The students were to plan, develop, and deliver a diverse range of products, emphasizing user value. From 34 groups, five were selected to provide representative reflections on their experiences. This study finds that in project-based tasks, learning is specific to product requirements, while unlearning is broader, impacting mainly beliefs and practices. Unlearning occurs in two forms: permanent and temporary. Permanent unlearning involves discarding outdated beliefs to facilitate deeper learning, aligning with project management literature. Temporary unlearning, however, is about setting aside current practices that don’t fit the project but may be useful elsewhere. The findings underscore the importance of continuous reflection in identifying areas where unlearning might be necessary.

Anaesthesia and Airway Challenges in Patients with Corrosive Pharyngo-oesophageal Stricture: Experience of a Tertiary Care Centre

Background: Ingestion of corrosive substances causes necrosis of the tissues of the upper airway and upper gastrointestinal tract resulting not only in acute airway injuries but also long-term sequelae like strictures. Medical and surgical management of these strictures has been discussed extensively; however, there is little literature available on the anaesthetic management of pharyngo-oesophageal strictures. We hereby discuss our experience in managing these patients undergoing surgical correction. Methods: Out of a total of 57 cases of corrosive ingestion injuries between 2008 and 2016, medical records of 15 patients with complex pharyngeal or high oesophageal strictures undergoing surgical intervention were reviewed. The preoperative findings, the extent of airway involvement and any airway intervention done were noted. Based on the surgical intervention, patients were divided into two groups; Group A included patients undergoing repeated string dilatation and Group B included those undergoing coloplasty. Type of anaesthesia given, details of airway management, intraoperative and postoperative course and complications were noted. Results: Group A consisted of 10 patients who underwent endless string dilatation, and Group B consisted of five patients who underwent coloplasty. In Group A, general anaesthesia with endotracheal intubation was given to all patients except for one patient who was tracheostomised. Two patients had significant glottic narrowing and required a smaller size tube. In Group B, four out of five patients were tracheostomised, while one had a normal glottic opening. General anaesthesia with epidural analgesia was given to all patients. Severe haemodynamic changes were seen during tunnelling through the posterior mediastinum for colonic interposition. All patients were extubated on the table. None of the patients required postoperative ventilatory or inotropic support. Conclusion: Management of corrosive pharyngo-oesophageal strictures is challenging and requires a multidisciplinary approach. Careful assessment and management of the airway, vigilant intraoperative haemodynamic monitoring and good pain management are the key contributions of anaesthesia care.

Factors Affecting the Online Learning Outcomes of Higher Educational Institutions in Nepal

Purpose: This study primarily aims to examine and evaluate the factors affecting the outcomes of online classes during the COVID-19 pandemic period among university students in Nepal. Similarly, this study investigated management students’ perception of online management courses and explored the presence of factors that help to generate online learning outcomes in management courses and devise an online learning outcomes model.
 Methodology: Using a survey research design, the study applied a cross-sectional study in three out of eight universities that taught management courses. A purposive sampling method was applied to select the respondent students. Exploratory factor analysis was conducted to establish internal consistency and evidence of validity. To assess the responses to online classes, a multivariate linear regression analysis was used.
 Findings: Digital pedagogy, learning environment, ICT knowledge, COVID-19 context, ICT-friendly University and curriculum, and outcomes were identified as the factors from exploratory factor analysis. The overall students’ perceptions of the online management course had high reliability with Cronbarch’s alpha of 0.941. However, only three factors; digital pedagogy, learning environment, and ICT friendliness of university and curriculum were found to be significant as per the regression analysis.
 Originality/value: This study contributes to the management of higher educational institutions and the model can be used in future research. The findings will support on quality improvement of the online teaching mode.
 Implications: Nepalese universities have to work on the development of ICT infrastructure and courses should be redesigned with ICT features in mind for effective online learning. Furthermore, Nepalese higher educational institutions should step forward for institutional transformation, especially by following an ICT-friendly curriculum and structure with a gradual introduction of digital pedagogy in its regular courses.

Caroli’s Disease vs Caroli Syndrome: Clinical and Radiological Spectrum, with disease Outcome at a Teaching Hospital in Lahore

Background: Caroli disease and Caroli syndrome are part of the clinical spectrum of ductal plate (DP) malformations, also referred to, as the fibrocystic liver diseases. This article aimed to study both these conditions, in terms of clinical features and disease outcome at a teaching hospital. Objective: To describe the clinical spectrum, laboratory and imaging findings, management course and outcome of fibrocystic liver diseases in children, at the University of Child Health Sciences, Lahore, Pakistan. Study Design: Cross-sectional Study. Settings: Department of Pediatric Gastroenterology & Hepatology, University of Child Health Sciences, Lahore Pakistan. Duration: January 2014 to July 2017. Methods: The study included patients with Caroli disease and Caroli Syndrome, confirmed on the basis of characteristic findings on magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography. SPSS v.20 was used for statistical analysis. Results: The mean age of 15 patients included in the study was 6.54 ± 4.18 years. Among them, 7/15 (46.7%) had Caroli’s disease (CD), whereas 8/15 (53.3%) had Caroli’s syndrome (CS). Male to female ratio was 4:1. CS pre-dominantly affected male children (8:0), while CD affected both genders almost equally (4:3). CD commonly presented with recurrent cholangitis (6/7, 85%), while CS as portal hypertension (7/8, 87.5%). Renal involvement was found in 5/15(33.33%) patients; mostly in CS (4/5,80%) and one (6.66%) patient progressed to end stage renal disease. One patient of CD underwent lobectomy and one died of end stage liver disease. Two patients of CS were treated with shunt surgery with partial splenectomy. Six patients are doing well after endoscopic variceal band ligation and propranolol prophylaxis. Conclusion: Caroli disease and Caroli syndrome are two sides of the same coin; it is important to differentiate the two disorders, especially from management point of view. CS is more common in our set up, leading to portal hypertension, which can be treated with sclerotherapy, endoscopic band ligation or shunt surgery. CD leads to cholangitis, which is managed with antibiotics.

GAMIFICATION IN MANAGEMENT EDUCATION

Gamification, which uses the mechanisms of games to acquire knowledge and various types of skills to build people’s involvement in a specific activity, is playing an increasingly important role. This study aims to emphasize the importance of gamification in the management process, with particular attention to its use in the educational process.
