Food Safety in Developing Countries: Common Foodborne and Waterborne Illnesses, Regulations, Organizational Structure, and Challenges of Food Safety in the Context of Nepal

ABSTRACTFood safety presents a global challenge, contributing to 600 million cases of foodborne diseases and 420,000 fatalities annually worldwide. In developing countries, such as Nepal, addressing food safety is particularly intricate and arduous because of the prevalent issues of food insecurity, poverty, illiteracy, and regulatory hurdles. The objectives of this comprehensive review are to evaluate the prevalent foodborne and waterborne illnesses, examine the existing regulations and institutional frameworks, and identify the challenges associated with food safety in Nepal. Additionally, this review aims to propose strategies to enhance food safety measures in the country. An electronic search was conducted using relevant keywords to include articles and literature pertinent to the topic. Common foodborne illnesses in Nepal include cholera, typhoid fever, hepatitis, worm infections, and poisoning from mushrooms, heavy metals, and pesticides. While existing rules, regulations, and government infrastructure exist, they often face limitations in effectively addressing these multifaceted challenges. Food safety in developing countries, such as Nepal, faces several challenges, including inadequate regulatory frameworks, limited surveillance and monitoring, rural–urban disparities, and high incidences of foodborne illness. Additional issues stem from weak law enforcement, poor food safety practices, limited infrastructure, informal sector challenges, cross‐border trade, limited access to clean water, and the impacts of climate change. A multisectoral One Health approach involving collaboration among government agencies, food industry stakeholders, consumers, and civil society organizations is imperative to enhance food safety in developing countries such as Nepal.

Global Digital Transformation and New Venture Resilience

In the new situation of building an entrepreneurial ecosystem, faced with the global multi-agent competition of the system, how new ventures should integrate with the system, isomorphism, and use their own advantages to cultivate new venture resilience has become an important global issue. The purpose of this study is to explore the combined impact of digital transformation, entrepreneurial ecological orientation, and organizational structure on the resilience of new ventures. Based on qualitative comparative analysis (QCA), this study systematically explores the significant key conditions and configuration effects that affect the cultivation of new venture resilience. There are four types of configurations that help new ventures to cultivate resilience, namely: strategic change, flexible response, leadership niche and institutional logic. This study explores how these three dimensions interact to achieve high firm resilience, ultimately contributing to the research of resilience from the perspective of the entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Beacons not burdens: Business groups and corporate social performance around the world

AbstractResearch SummaryPrior studies on business groups (BGs) have predominantly focused on the impact of group affiliation on financial performance. In contrast, we argue that BG affiliates will outperform standalone firms in terms of corporate social performance (CSP) and that this effect will be positively moderated by the strength of formal and informal institutions. Moreover, we examine also differences among BGs and hypothesize that diversification and hierarchy of the group will negatively affect the CSP of affiliates. Employing a panel of 4368 firms from 43 countries between 2003 and 2016 and a propensity score matching approach in our regressions, we find robust support for these predictions. Our findings advance two distinct strands of literature on BGs and, respectively, corporate social responsibility.Managerial SummaryBG are a common organizational structure in many countries. Despite this, we still do not know much about them beyond their financial performance. In this study, we focus on examining the impact of BG affiliation on non‐financial performance (i.e., CSP) in the light of growing societal grand challenges. Using an international dataset of several thousands of firms, we find out that BG affiliates exhibit superior CSP results compared to non‐affiliated firms. These positive effects of affiliation are increased in environments with strong formal and informal institutions but reduced within groups that are more diversified and hierarchical. Our findings showcase the importance of BGs in tackling some of today's grand challenges and provide support for more nuanced approaches to study BGs across countries.

Battle of Kalniškės: a Fragment of the Fight for Freedom

The article analyses the structure and composition of the partisan division – the company of Jonas Neifalta-Lakūnas [‘Pilot’] – that fought in the Battle of Kalniškės and its role within the context of the Lithuanian resistance against the second Soviet occupation. The direct causes of the battle, its progress and individual stages are discussed. The study uses narrative, analytical and inductive approaches. Lakūnas’ company was part of the partisan forces of several rural areas under the leadership of Albinas Kisieliauskas- Karvelis [‘Pigeon’]. Neifalta-Lakūnas, commander of the Kalniškės area partisans, was deputy to Kisieliauskas- Karvelis and the head of the command post. The composition and organisational structure of the force was the same as many other Lithuanian partisan forces. The detachment adopted the structural principles of the independent Lithuanian Army and tailored them to the needs of the guerrilla war. In order to ensure confidentiality, separate smaller groups operated in different areas. These smaller groups were usually made from smaller mobile units formed from men of adjacent villages, and were lead by fighters with experience in the army or police service. From the beginning of the Soviet occupation, this partisan company was trying to unite itself into a centralised resistance movement. Initially a relationship was established with the Lithuanian Freedom Army, and 2 new units – Tauras and Dainava Commands – emerged as a result of this centralisation. The creation of centralised underground structures legitimised the activities of the partisan force. The release of proclamations and regulatory documents by the leadership formed the concept of anti-Soviet resistance, regulated its tactics, discipline and behaviour with the civilian population. However, the chain of subordination was on many occasions disrupted and changed, while orders from command headquarters did not always reach the distant Kalniškės Forest. From February 1945 to March 1945, as far as mobility was concerned, the forces under the leadership of Karvelis and Lakūnas stood out from the rest of the partisan divisions operating in the ethnographic area of Užnemunės Dzūkija [south-western part of Lithuania]. The area of operations of this partisan force, which was extremely mobile and frequently changed its campsite, covered as many as seven rural areas. In the winter of 1944–1945 and spring 1945, up until the famous Kalniškės Battle, these fighters participated in many clashes with the occupational forces, but managed to avoid any major losses. Perhaps one of the most significant of these was the attack on the town of Rudamina and the skirmish at Panara. In both cases the partisans won, believed in the power of their weapons, and did not hesitate to initiate the Battle of Kalniškės. The Battle of Kalniškės was one of many defensive combats fought by partisans in 1945. It started when the NKVD Regiment surrounded the company of Neifalta- Lakūnas camping in the forest. The progress of the battle can be divided into four stages. During the battle partisans could not withdraw in an organised fashion and had to fight the enemy attacks on Meškakalnis hill. Some fighters were cut off from the main division and were scattered to the depths of the forest. After intensive fire, partisan resistance weakened. The NKVD assault group tried to push the partisans from their occupied positions and to completely destroy them, but around 20 men managed to break out of the encirclement. Although the Battle of Kalniškės claimed the lives of nearly 50 partisans, their dedication inspired their brothers in arms, kept the movement smouldering in the nation’s consciousness, and lead to the re-establishment of Lithuania’s independence.

Subak Lungatad in Preventing Land Conversion through the Revision of Awig – Awig

Subak is a community organization that specializes in regulating the rice field irrigation system used in rice cultivation in Bali, one of which is Subak Lungatad Yang in Peguyangan Kangin Village, North Denpaar. Subak Lungatad has a customary law norm called Awig-Awig. Awig-Awig is a customary law norm that is formulated and regulates the behavior pattern of community members in interacting in order to create order and peace, meaning that Awig-Awig grows and is formulated so that the life of the community in the customary village is not damaged. However, in the application of awig – awig Subak is also lived by the Balinese people as a concept of life, because it is a direct manifestation of the philosophy called Tri Hita Karana. There is a problem that arises in the awigs in Subak Lungatad is that they have not regulated and can anticipate changes in land use change in the subak Lungatad district Land use change in the last 1 year covering an area of 0.8 hectares, which is in Subak Lungatad, from the area of Subak 114 hectares. From this data, it can be described that land use change is still occurring. Pekaseh Subak Lungatad, I Made Maja, revealed that Subak Lungatad is part of the irrigation area of Kedewatan Pasedahan Yeh Lauh, Peguyangan Kangin Village, North Denpasar District. With a raw land area of 120 hectares, all of them are semi-irrigated. The subak land continues to experience pressure due to land conversion, there tends to be housing development. This condition is certainly really concerning for the future of rice fields and agriculture of the people of Denpasar. The participation of Krama Subak in preventing the conversion of agricultural land into housing can be done by including the rules in the awig-awig subak. Although the existing awig subak has not yet regulated it, it can be made in the form of a perarem or implementing rule of the awig- awig. The role of subak as a traditional organization in the field of water use at the farming level in indigenous peoples. The important role of the subak system is closely related to the strength of the subak itself, including the simplicity of the organizational structure, a cooperative work system and the implementation of the Tri Hita Karana philosophy. One of them is related to weakness which is also related to the lands in the subak lungakad area. The Awig Subak Lungatad that was made has not been regulated for a long time in anticipating changes in land use.

Gen Z’s Digital Literacy in the Development of Proactive Personality: An HR Management Perspective

The digital literacy is required for the efficient functioning of an individual in the digital world. Digital transformation changes people's attitudes and behaviors, strengthening or weakening some of them. The continuous research in this field is justified by the fundamental changes that digitalization is bringing about in the global labor market, professional activities, and work structures. An interesting question is whether digital skills can be helpful in shaping specific attitudes and behaviors of employees as e.g. proactivity. The concept of proactivity is an important phenomenon considered within the framework of corporate entrepreneurship. A proactive organization focuses on seizing opportunities in a competitive market, implementing innovations in practice and managing market expectations. For an organization to be proactive, it is necessary to implement proactivity at all levels of the organizational structure, which may be more effective if we employ employees with a high level of proactive personality. It remains unknown whether digitization is connected with an individual's proactivity. The current study aims to examine the dependency between elements of the digital literacy and the development of proactive personality of young individuals of Gen Z, an attitude that may to emphasize the importance of proactiveness as a desirable feature in the professional life. The research was conducted in the form of a survey using the CAWI method among 370 individuals of Gen Z in Poland in 2024. Regression analysis confirmed a statistically significant dependency between the digital literacy and the proactive personality in the studied group of respondents, however, not all predictors within the model have a positive dependency with the proactive personality. The main limitations of the study are visible in not fully representativeness of the research group, and hence the inability to generalize the conclusions and make certain assumptions regarding the probable use of a proactive personality in the workplace.

Improving the hospital or immunizing its organization? Patient and public involvement at the service of quality

IntroductionThere is a pressing need for the hospitals to improve their quality and become more patient-centered. Over the last decade, several approaches were implemented to meet this demand, such as hospital accreditation or patient surveys. Many studies have addressed the patient involvement systems from the viewpoint of the factors that drive them or the achieved performance. In this study, we examined the patient involvement from the viewpoint of its function and operation rather than its performance. Following Luhmann, we reconsidered quality to be related to the absorption of uncertainty rather than improvement or innovation. The adaptation of an organization to involve patient participation can be regarded as contributing to the immune function of the organizational system.MethodsThree case studies addressing patient and family advisory councils in general hospitals were conducted in Belgium. Qualitative empirical material is retrieved from observation, documentation, and interviews.ResultsOur findings suggest that the immune function of the hospital organization operates in four main phases. First, we assess how the communicative process indicates the relevant difference that needs to be addressed. Role differentiation occurs through the depoliticization and depersonalization of criticism. Second, given the impossible realization of first-order observation of the environment, our material shows how second-order observation is organized through a dual representation. Third, we unveil how the environmental representation requires a specific organizational socialization to overcome the representation paradox. Finally, we analyze how the whole described process must fulfil the preparation of a repertoire of responses to the irritations of its environment.DiscussionThe analysis revealed that patient and family advisory councils complete a crucial immune function for organizations, far beyond the simple discussion of the “nuts and bolts” of organizational structure. These findings permit to discuss implications of the notions of participation and quality regarding to identity work of stakeholders, open organization, and change management.

The Widening, Deepening, and Lengthening of the Seven Mountains Mandate (7MM) Network: The Role of Network Apostolic Leadership

This article describes the leadership and organizational elements that have made the Seven Mountains Mandate (7MM), one of the main doctrines of the Apostolic Restoration Movement (ARM), a very adaptable, simple to explain, and feasible to implement message and portable practice, which can be started at the local level and expand progressively to acquire regional and national dimensions. A new classification of apostolic networks is proposed in this article and a partial map of some of the networks that participated in the expansion of the 7MM is presented. Additionally, using definitions from network leadership theory, it is shown how different types of leaders, who function as horizontal connectors in apostolic networks, such as conveners, catalysts, mobilizers, facilitators, weavers, provocateurs, illuminators, hosts, and curators, contribute to the diffusion of the 7MM by promoting its global Widening, Deepening, and Lengthening (WDL). The article first describes the evolution of the church from denominations to networks and how the ARM adopted the network organizational structure that serves as a channel for the diffusion of the 7MM. Cases from the USA, Guatemala, Zambia, and Venezuela are used as examples to demonstrate how the 7MM’s expansion, or Widening (W); its contextualization and adaption, or Deepening (D); and its sustainability, reproduction, and evolution, or Lengthening (L), occur globally based on the network nature of the ARM and the network leadership enacted in the process.

Enhancing and Explaining Energy Management in Smart Manufacturing Production via ML Within the Context of Industry 4.0

Objective: The aim of this research is to identify the main barriers faced by managers and practitioners in the implementation of KM initiatives in the context of Chilean organisations and to describe the ways in which these problems are addressed by them. Theoretical Framework: This research addresses the organisational, political, social and cultural barriers faced by KM initiatives in developing country contexts. Method: This study was based on the review of twenty-six cases of knowledge management initiatives implemented between 2010 and 2022 in Chile, which were described and analysed using qualitative methodology Results and Discussion: It was found that the most important barriers to carrying out these initiatives coincide, to a large extent, with some of the characteristics of Chilean culture and society described in the literature of organisational studies, such as: lack of trust; large power distance in the organisational structure; lack of communication skills; paternalistic organisational culture, to mention a few. Also, one aspect worth highlighting is the traditional business culture that tends to focus on a "low cost" strategy and exploitation of raw materials, rather than investing in innovation. Scarce resources, problematic performance measurement and lack of knowledge management training for employees and managers were also mentioned as adverse factors. Research Implications: The relevance of this study lies in the fact that it provides insight into the main barriers faced by knowledge management initiatives in developing countries, specifically in a region such as Latin America, thus contributing to the development of this field in this region. Originality/Value: It is known that many of the new initiatives in the field of KM do not thrive or face difficult start-up challenges, limiting the number of successful initiatives in this country. This study contributes to a better understanding of the problems faced by managers carrying out KM initiatives, thus enabling them to develop better strategies and solutions for the implementation of KM projects.

The Influence of “Using the Temple Property for Schools” Movement on the Organization of Han Buddhist Monastic Education in Modern China

Under the influence of “Using the Temple Property for Schools”(UTPSs) movement, the monastic education of Han Buddhism 漢傳佛教僧教育 in modern China, as a whole, has gradually moved towards the mode of Buddhist colleges, through the establishment of the Buddhist Educational Affairs Public Office (BEAPO) 佛教學務公所, the Institution of Monastic Education (IME) 僧教育會, and the institution of Buddhist education 佛教教育機構 with international outlook and has become the prototype of the educational institution of Han Buddhism in contemporary China. The attempts to run schools during the period of the BEAPO at the late Qing Dynasty objectively stimulated the awakening of the consciousness of the Buddhist community to establish schools and to promote education 辦學興教 and became the precursor of the rise of the wave of monastic education after the Xinhai Revolution, especially since the 1920s. The goal of “uniting the national Buddhism” proposed by the BEAPO became the direction for the development of subsequent Buddhist organizations. The BEAPO also accumulated experiences for the construction of later Buddhist organizations and stimulated the awakening of the monks’ sense of subjectivity. The organizational structure and many ideas of the BEAPO were later inherited by the IME; most of the contents of the constitution of it were also inherited and improved by the IME. As a Buddhist organization, the BEAPO made positive efforts to reconcile the tensions between monks and laypeople under the context of UTPS at that time. After the Xinhai Revolution, the Han Buddhist community focused on interacting with secular society, and the practice of Buddhist education reflected the awakening of self-consciousness to “establish schools to promote education”. In terms of the school operation mode, the diversified curriculum and modernized academic system reflect the characteristic of a balance between internal and external studies. During this period, the establishment of Buddhist educational institutions with an international outlook provided a guarantee of talent for the path of the “universalization” of Han Buddhism, as well as provided continuity for the sustainable development of it. Under the influence of the two UTPS movements, the tortuous development of Han Buddhist monastic education in modern China is, in fact, the epitome of the situation of the whole Chinese Buddhism in modern society. At the same time, it also reflects the proactive adaptation of Chinese Buddhism, in modern times, to external pressures and its self-remodeling in the struggle for survival space.

Union Makes Us Strong: Space, Technology, and On-Demand Ridesourcing Digital Labour Platforms

The entry of on-demand ridesourcing digital labour platforms (OR-DLPs) in Kolkata, India, restructured the local taxi-cab service industry's economic geography and spatial practices. Notably, they eroded the significance of the spatial fixity of taxi stands operated by traditional trade unions, enmeshed in local society's partisan political dynamics. Therefore, OR-DLPs triggered a reconfiguration of the socio-spatial and political practices around the taxi-cab industry in the city. Globally, traditional trade unions have struggled to organise workers in informal work arrangements and DLPs. However, in Kolkata, the Kolkata Ola-Uber App-Cab Operator and Drivers Union has proved to be successful. They established hybrid and networked unionism through technological affordances, placing worker-organisers rather than external organisers at the centre of their organisational structure. Furthermore, they undertook tech-mediated resistance against the OR-DLPs, local bureaucracy (e.g. the police) and the state. We explore this context to examine the impact of OR-DLPs on labour geography, worker-organising and resistance practices, along with the revitalisation strategies of traditional trade unions in response. From a non-Western context, we expand the frame for CSCW and HCI scholars' ongoing efforts to design worker-centric technologies for resistance.

Formation of an effective mechanism of innovation management at enterprises

The article examines the importance of the formation of an effective mechanism of innovative management in the conditions of the modern global economy and the state of war. Attention is focused on the essence of innovation management, its main tasks and elements, such as strategy, organizational structure, innovation processes, innovation culture, knowledge management and financing. The problems and challenges that arise during the implementation of innovative management in the conditions of war are highlighted separately, in particular, the need to adapt strategies to the changing environment and resource limitations. The prospects for the development of innovative mechanisms in the context of digital technologies and artificial intelligence, which can contribute to rapid adaptation to new conditions, are also considered. The article emphasizes that an effective innovation mechanism is the key to achieving high results and competitiveness of organizations even in difficult conditions.

Developing a multidimensional scale for presenteeism: A study on measurement and implications

Presenteeism is among the key factors that negatively affect employee efficiency and, therefore, company organi zational performance. The existing measurement tools for assessing presenteeism highlight health-related issues as the main reason behind this counterproductive behaviour. On the other hand, other factors that influence modern business life and pro cesses are omitted. The paper’s primary purpose is to develop a comprehensive measurement tool suitable for the individual and organizational multi-factor structure of presenteeism that accurately reflects the complex nature of today’s business world. Meth odologically, the research is shaped within the framework of grounded theory. In the study, mixed methods research combining qualitative and quantitative methods was utilized. In this context, firstly, the authors conducted a literature review and focus group interviews with experts in the field in order to reveal the conceptual structure. We analysed the data using content analysis and then moved on to writing 18 scale items. We performed exploratory factor analysis using the SPSS program and confirmatory factor analysis using the AMOS program. As a result, we develop a four-dimensional scale for presenteeism covering work focus, stress management, social loafing, and performance. The verified multidimensional scale fills a vacuum in the literature by offer ing a comprehensive and dependable instrument to gauge presenteeism on organizational and individual dimensions. Among the possible avenues for further research are testing the scale in different cultural contexts and addressing the organizational causes of presenteeism.

Legal Transformation of a Public Tertiary Institution: Turnaround and Public Interest of the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA)

Abstract Just over a decade ago, public tertiary institutions depended on the government for funding and received instructions on running their day-to-day affairs from the state. Recently, GIMPA a public tertiary institution deployed legal options to gain autonomy to stabilize its financial performance and service delivery. This article updates the progress that has since been made in understanding the reversal of the stressful financial situation of the institute through the lens of the existing legal framework. Further, the paper examined an ambitious organizational structure dwelling on a robust legal framework to redirect management policies, rules, regulations, and functional decisions of a public tertiary institution serving public management and public administration training and consultancy. Termed “legal framework,” this set of legal instruments is cultivated into efficient and effective operations that yield financial stability that ensures growth and is trajected towards national development.

Linking theory and practice to advance sustainable healthcare: the development of maturity model version 1.0.

Climate change and increased awareness of planetary health have made reducing ecological footprints a priority for healthcare organizations. However, improving healthcare's environmental impact remains difficult. Numerous researchers argue these difficulties are caused by healthcare's environmental impact being multidimensional, influenced throughout the healthcare chain, and often has downstream consequences that are hard to identify or to measure. Even though existing research describes many successful approaches to reduce healthcare's environmental impact, a robust multidimensional framework to assess this impact is lacking. This research aims at developing a maturity model for sustainable healthcare that could be used for self-assessment by healthcare professionals to identify improvement actions and for sharing best practices in environmental sustainability. A design-oriented approach for maturity model development was combined with an expert panel and six case studies to develop, refine and expand the maturity model for environmentally sustainable healthcare. A maturity model was developed containing four domains: 'Governance', 'Organization Structures', 'Processes', and 'Outcomes and Control'. Applying the model in real-world environments demonstrated the model's understandability, ease of use, usefulness, practicality and ability to identify improvement actions for environmental sustainability in healthcare organizations. This study found that healthcare practitioners could apply the maturity model developed and tested in this study in several hours without training to help them gain valuable insights into the environment footprint of the healthcare setting they worked in. Systematically implementing the model developed in this study could help address the urgent need to mitigate the substantial environmental impact of healthcare. These implementations can help evaluate and improve the maturity model.

Data Organization Patterns in Data Mesh: Optimizing Data Management for the Modern Enterprise

This article explores the implementation of Data Mesh principles through a structured layered approach to data organization, addressing the challenges of managing large-scale, diverse data ecosystems in modern enterprises. As global data creation surges towards 181 zettabytes by 2025, traditional centralized data architectures are proving inadequate. We propose a four-layer methodology—Raw, Work, Gold, and Publish—that aligns with Data Mesh philosophy while providing clear delineation of data processing stages. Through case studies across various industries, we demonstrate how this approach leads to significant improvements in data quality, time-to-insight, and incident resolution. A large financial institution achieved a 40% reduction in time-to-insight, while a global manufacturer reported a 30% improvement in data quality. The article also discusses the challenges of implementation, including cultural shifts and skill gaps. Our findings suggest that combining Data Mesh principles with a layered organizational structure can transform enterprise data landscapes, enhancing agility, cross-functional collaboration, and alignment of data assets with business objectives. This article contributes to the evolving field of decentralized data architectures and provides practical insights for organizations seeking to optimize their data management strategies in the face of exponential data growth.
