The Impacts of AI and ML on the Performance of Logistics and Supply Chain Management

Digital transformation is not a goal, but the benefits that businesses achieve from digital transformation are the desired goal. The successive developments in artificial intelligence technology represent a great opportunity to solve business problems. Artificial intelligence, especially machine learning methods, can be used to solve many problems facing the logistics and supply chain sector. Machine Learning (ML) techniques widely impact on many aspects of Logistics and Supply chain Management such as improving services levels for end customers, reducing costs, minimizing resource waste, and improving partners relationships. The problem of demand forecasting is one of the problems that affect production scheduling, inventory levels, partner costs, and customer satisfaction. Therefore, this research addresses these topics in some detail and provides a practical application to solve the research problem using some machine learning methods and tools. The research confirmed the accuracy of predictions and thus improved decisions and partner plans in supply chains. The research represents an analytical addition to previous research in the same field.

Dyadic Analysis of Cumulative Childhood Trauma and Relationship Satisfaction: The Role of Parental Alliance.

Cumulative childhood trauma (CCT) increases the risk of relationship difficulties in adulthood. Couples welcoming a new child are particularly prone to relationship distress, and CCT survivors may be especially vulnerable during this period. This study examined the association between CCT and relationship satisfaction and tested the role of parental alliance in this association. A random sample of 1136 different-gender parental couples completed online self-report questionnaires. Path analyses guided by the Actor-Partner Interdependence Model revealed that parents' CCT was associated with their own lower relationship satisfaction through their own and their partner's parental alliance in both mothers and fathers. Results also revealed dyadic associations between one parent's CCT and their partner's relationship satisfaction through their own and their partner's parental alliance. These findings support the relevance of couple interventions focusing on the parental alliance to improve relational well-being in parental couples where one or both partners have experienced CCT.

ECEL1 mutation in distal arthrogryposis type 5D: A case report.

Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita involves joint contractures across various body parts. Distal arthrogryposis type 5D (DA5D) is a rare, autosomal recessive subtype affecting distal extremities, with symptoms like knee extension contractures, camptodactyly, overriding fingers, ulnar wrist deviation, and scoliosis. A 24-year-old pregnant woman with a second-degree relative partner had a fetus showing increased nuchal translucency (3.4mm) and high Down syndrome risk in the first-trimester screen. Both parents were healthy and had no known family history of hereditary diseases. Genetic counselling and amniocentesis at 16weeks revealed a segmental gain on chromosome 1p31.1 of uncertain significance, ruling out aneuploidies of chromosomes 21, 18, and 13. Later scans suggested fetal akinesia deformation sequence (FADS) with limited limb movement. Whole exome sequencing confirmed DA5D due to a novel ECEL1 5' splice site variant (c.2151+2T>A) inherited autosomally recessive. The couple chose pregnancy termination, with an autopsy confirming DA5D. This case expands the mutational spectrum of prenatal ECEL1 gene using whole exome sequencing (WES) for fetal joint disorders, potentially helping in parental counselling and clinical decision-making.

Mindfulness protects relationship quality from stress: Roles of trait mindfulness and relationship mindfulness

AbstractObjectiveThis study aimed to empirically test how trait mindfulness (i.e., one's general tendency to be mindful) and relationship mindfulness (i.e., being mindful in relationships) protect couple relationships from stress and the potential extra buffer perceived partner relationship mindfulness provides.BackgroundStress has harmful effects on couple relationships, but mindfulness may mitigate such effects. Yet, no study has empirically tested the distinct but complementary roles various forms of mindfulness play in this process.MethodA sample of 249 individuals in romantic relationships completed a cross‐sectional survey that included measures of mindfulness, perceived stress, and relationship quality.Results(a) Trait mindfulness was associated with better relationship quality through reduced perceived stress. (b) Relationship mindfulness moderated the link between perceived stress and negative relationship quality and was a moderated mediator in the model. (c) Perceived partner relationship mindfulness served as an extra buffer on the link between perceived stress and negative relationship quality.ConclusionThe results extended the theoretical model of mindfulness and romantic relationships by empirically demonstrating the various roles of mindfulness in protecting relationships from stress.ImplicationsPractitioners should consider targeting both trait mindfulness and relationship mindfulness, as well as promoting perceived partner relationship mindfulness and joint participation in mindfulness‐based couple interventions.

Communicating intimate partner violence on social media: of hidden identities in storytelling and confessions

ABSTRACT Intimate partner violence (IPV) has been on the increase at an alarming rate across the globe. IPV is being experienced by both parties involved. Factors behind the increase are highly contested. However, the dearth of the support fabric in the family set up has been touted as one of the reasons why disgruntled partners and/or victims seek solace in the social media spaces for sympathy, empathy and advice. In hidden identities, partners divulge their predicament to the social media family with the hope to be assisted. However, the narratives have been understudied and theorized from a discourse-linguistic perspective. Deploying strands from the Appraisal Theory and Narrative Paradigm Approach, this netnographic study investigates the intimate partner violence reports on Facebook social group, Zimbabwean Deep Secrets (Confessions). The study displays the displacement of the sekuru (grandfather), ambuya (grandmother) and tete (aunt) with social media friend advisors. In hidden identities, the narrative voice confesses to a plethora of factors bedevilling partners in intimate relationships. The indispensable ‘other’ in intimate partners’ lives has successfully been adapted in the social media public sphere and to people’s contemporary existence.

Stakeholders and Farmers’ Preferences Towards Contract Attributes: Evidence from Hybrid Maize Production in Indonesia

The availability of quality seeds is critical to supporting the sustainability of agriculture, which is further reinforced by the success of contract farming between seed companies and partner farmers. To foster a mutually beneficial partnership, it is essential to align the needs of farmers with the facilities and services provided by the company through well-defined contract terms and conditions. This study aims to explore the contract attribute preferences and their importance levels among farmers, growth leaders, and companies using a quantitative approach. A discrete choice experiment utilizing the conditional logit model was employed to investigate the preferences of 170 farmers, while a descriptive analysis was used to outline the preferences of other stakeholders. The findings indicate that farmers prefer written agreements over informal ones, favor shorter contract durations, and demand higher prices. Additionally, farmers showed a marked preference for receiving inputs, incentives, and credits. The preference patterns of stakeholders align with those of farmers regarding agreement form, inputs, price, incentives, and credit, although stakeholders tend to favor contracts with longer durations. Based on the rank-based quotient method, both growth leaders and farmers identified price, input subsidies, incentives, credits, agreement form, and duration as the most important attributes in maize seed partnership contracts, in descending order of importance. Contrarily, the company prioritizes input subsidies over other attributes, including price, duration, credit, incentive, and agreement form. These insights can inform the design of more suitable and effective contracts, thereby fostering sustainable partnership relationships in the future.

Canadian Men's Intimate Partner Relationship Break-Ups During COVID-19: Implications for Mental Health Promotion.

COVID-19 impacted many men's intimate partner relationships, with distressed and disrupted partnerships consistently featured in commentaries with linkages to mental health challenges. The current study draws from interviews with 23 Canadian-based men, 19-50 years old, who experienced a break-up during COVID-19. Addressing the research question, "What are the connections between masculinities, men's mental health, and intimate partner relationship break-ups during COVID-19?", three thematic findings were derived: (1) Virtually Together and Growing Apart, (2) Mentally Trapped, and Failing Fast and Slow, and (3) Introspections and Moving On. Virtually Together and Growing Apart describes two contexts wherein men were either challenged by being physically apart from their partner or increasingly estranged while cohabitating with their partner during COVID-19. Mentally Trapped, and Failing Fast and Slow speaks to the stresses of being socially isolated and anxieties about the future with those tensions flowing to and from men's relationships. Featured were fast-tracked endings in terms of many participants knowing early-on the partnership was over, amid drawn out finishes wherein men's relationships gradually ended with the easement of COVID-19 restrictions. Introspections and Moving On varied in that many men were intent on processing and deconstructing all that happened in (and to end) their relationship. Men's learnings were leveraged through accessing professional and peer supports to promote self-growth and purposefully build healthier intimate partnerships. The study findings affirm the need for gender-responsive mental health promotion programs to equip men with relationship skills, while also underscoring the necessity for services dedicated to addressing post-COVID-19 injuries.

A study of psychological violence in intimate partner relationships among university students: a mixed-methods research

The aim of this study is to examine university students’ attitudes and experiences regarding psychological violence in intimate partner relationships in the context of attachment styles, gender roles, and parasocial interactions. In this study, a mixed-methods research design, specifically the explanatory sequential design, was employed. In the quantitative phase, the attitudes of 508 university student participants towards dating violence were examined with structural equation modeling in terms of attachment styles, parasocial interaction levels and gender roles perceptions. In the qualitative phase, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 14 university students who had experienced psychological violence in their romantic relationships, and the interviews were analyzed with the interpretive phenomenological analysis method. According to the conducted structural equation model, anxious attachment and avoidant attachment predict attitudes towards female psychological dating violence, while anxious attachment predicts attitudes towards male psychological dating violence. In the qualitative phase, the analysis revealed four main themes concerning perceptions of attachment styles: self, attitudes in relationships, evaluation tendencies in relationships, and relationship maintenance styles. Regarding perceptions of gender roles, two main themes emerged: gender equality and relationship roles. Media interactions yielded three main themes: interaction engagement, social learning effects, and the role of media within relationships. Lastly, perceptions of romantic relationship experiences were organized into four main themes: relationship encounters, relationship expectations, relationship issues, and dating violence. The findings suggest that people’s attachment styles, gender roles and interactions with different media channels are effective in their attitudes and experiences towards psychological violence in dating. The results emphasize that personal and social patterns are important in attitudes towards dating violence and that further studies on this subject should be increased.

SOCIAL AND HEALTH IMPLICATIONS OF THE USE OF TRADITIONAL APHRODISIACS (KAYAN MATA) AMONG MARRIED WOMEN IN NORTHERN NIGERIA

People over time, have considered the possibility to arouse sexual desires with drugs and food. However, how this is largely attended to, based on the uniqueness of the different groups and cultures. Prior to the use of modern vaccines, traditional aphrodisiacs such as herbal or animal extracts were purported to boost erotic pleasure, induce sexual desire and stimulate genitalia. In recent years, the use of aphrodisiacs has become popular with the increased prevalence of sexual problems worldwide. Aphrodisiacs refer to any substance (food or drug) that stimulates sexual desire and enhance sexual desire and performance. In Northern Nigeria, traditional aphrodisiacs known as Kayan mata, are sold by the roadside and in herbal chemists, most of which are not certified fit for human consumption. Dispensers do not have any information on their manufacturing dates, expiry dates, batch number nor chemical compositions as well as the prescribed dosage. The acceptance and use of Kayan mata among women in Northern Nigeria is associated with the desire to have influence over decision-making and control partners in intimate relationship. However, many issues have been presented in different quarters with respect to the use and demand for traditional aphrodisiacs. Nevertheless, little is known about the social and health implications of the use of these substances. This, therefore requires further interrogation to broaden the horizon of the public on the increasing phenomenon. Secondary sources of data were employed for this work. Also, Social Exchange Theory provided theoretical orientation to issues related to the thrust of the paper. A large number of married women use traditional aphrodisiac which are mainly sold by traditional healers. Therefore, there is need to set up more orthodox care facilities for sexual dysfunction and community health education on female sexual dysfunction. Furthermore, there is the need for quality assurance, safety and standardization of these substances for the benefit of the consumers.

THE ROLE OF RELATIONSHIP MARKETING IN CONSUMER PURCHASE DECISION: AN EXPLORATORY STUDY

Objective: This study seeks to investigate the function of relationship marketing in consumer purchasing decisions. Theoretical Framework: As a result of the significant changes witnessed in the last millennium at the global level in all spheres of life, perhaps the most prominent is the shift from the planned economy to the market economy, as well as the pressures of intense competition, the emergence of globalization, the information and technology revolution, the rise in levels of foreign investment, and the enormous increase in the number and types of products, services, and brands. It significantly influenced the decisions of consumers. Method: Our study consists of a qualitative setting; thus, we have utilized the depth method, which helped us clarify the relation between consumer purchase decisions and relationship marketing from the perspective of both the consumer and the company, using semi-structured and unstructured interviews. Results and Discussion: The results indicate that the foundation for achieving growth and sustainability in the markets is to attract the greatest number of customers possible, to strive for their satisfaction and gain loyalty, to work on establishing permanent partnership relationships with all customers, and to treat each customer as if it were its market division. Research Implications: From a managerial application perspective, an understanding of consumers' expectations of their relationships with sellers would assist marketers in establishing, enhancing, and maintaining these relationships. Marketers need to identify how they can use customer data to improve customer relationships. Permission from customers can provide marketers with the privilege of contacting customers; information such as customer needs makes possible the customization of products and services; and data about the initiation and growth of customer relationships help to ensure effective and timely feedback. Marketers can informally survey their customers by asking about the relevance of various services, or they can formally survey their customers to gain more in-depth customer-specific information. Originality/Value: The findings provide insight into consumers' motivations and attitudes with regard to relationship marketing and suggest a way forward for further research. In particular, a number of ways in which mobile phone companies might seek to encourage consumers to consider value-added service propositions more seriously and become less solely price-sensitive are proposed.

"Together is no longer completely together": Exploring the influence of social cognition problems on partner relationships following acquired brain injury.

To examine the experiences of individuals with acquired brain injury and their partners regarding the effects of social cognition problems on their relationships. Qualitative interview study. Interviews were conducted 1 to 5 years post-injury, either in the participants' home or at a care facility in the Netherlands. Nine couples consisting of an individual with acquired brain injury and a partner without acquired brain injury. Scores on neuropsychological tests indicated social cognition difficulties in individuals with acquired brain injury. Individual semi-structured interviews were conducted, audio recorded, and transcribed verbatim. Two independent analysts analyzed the data using thematic analysis aimed at finding common themes across the data set. Data analysis was carried out recursively and parallel to data collection to help determine when saturation was reached. Six themes were generated from the interview data: (1) partners feeling disappointed, lonely, and despondent, (2) individuals with acquired brain injury feeling insecure and ashamed of falling short, (3) relationship roles changing, (4) the aggravating role of fatigue and sensory hypersensitivity, (5) the importance of professional help, and (6) silver linings: increased awareness creating closeness. Social cognition problems have the potential to strongly affect relationships between those with acquired brain injury and their partners in many ways. Addressing social cognition problems is recommended as it is greatly appreciated by individuals with acquired brain injury and their partners and holds promise for improving their relationship.

EXPRESS: Customer-Centric Contract Changes

Customers would frequently benefit from changes to an existing purchase contract with a supplier (e.g., due to a wrong order). Salespeople can voluntarily make such a change, which we label a “customer-centric contract change.” Formally, we define a customer-centric contract change as an act of a salesperson of amending the purchase contract in the customer’s favor without a legal obligation to do so. Since literature has neglected this prevalent and important phenomenon, we draw on social exchange theory to study the impact of such contract changes on relationship performance. Toward this end, we leverage panel data on over 57,000 customers, four experiments, and a survey study. Results suggest customer-centric contract changes increase relationship performance because customers are grateful for a salesperson’s relinquishing of power. Interestingly, this effect is less pronounced in close exchange relationships where a norm of solidarity between customers and salespeople exists. These findings add to emergent work that finds that business partners in close exchange relationships expect each other and are willing to forgo power advantages to alleviate each other’s hardships; we integrate these findings into what we coin “power-solidarity theory.” For practitioners, the findings offer guidance on whether and how to approve contract change requests.

Social Determinants, Mental Well-Being, and Disrupted Life Transitions Among Young Adults with Disabling Mental Health Conditions.

This study sought to understand how young adults (age 18-25) with histories of mental health disorders are coping with disrupted transitions to adulthood during the COVID-19 pandemic. A cross-sectional web survey was conducted in March-June 2021 of 967 US young adults with pre-pandemic psychiatric disability to assess their current psychiatric status, interrupted transitions, and associations with social determinants including income, community participation, and social context. Mental health was assessed with the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7), and PTSD Checklist-Civilian Version. Social determinants were identified with the Epidemic-Pandemic Impacts Inventory. Interrupted transitions were measured with the Young Adult Disrupted Transitions Assessment. Multivariable logistic regression models predicted four types of transition disruptions and associations with current mental health, social determinants, and demographic factors. Disruptions were reported by 81.1% including interrupted education completion (38.3%), employment careers (37.6%), residential independence (27.7%), and intimate partner relationships (22.9%). Many screened positive for major depressive disorder (81.7%), PTSD (85.5%), or GAD (58.6%). Disruption in establishing intimate partner relationships was associated with depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Interrupted residential independence was associated with anxiety. Interrupted education completion was associated with PTSD. Interrupted employment was associated with anxiety. Social determinants significant in these models included social connections, community participation, income, and racial/ethnic identification. Results illuminate ways that current mental health and social determinants affect transition interruptions during the pandemic. Findings suggest the need for interdisciplinary approaches, integrated models of care, and assistance accessing treatment, rehabilitation, and community support services from adult service systems.

Influence of Partnership Relationships on Long-Term Neurological Rehabilitation in Germany: Protocol for a Qualitative Retrospective Study.

Acquired neurological diseases entail significant changes and influence the relationship between a patient and their significant other. In the context of long-term rehabilitation, those affected collaborate with health care professionals who are expected to have a positive impact on the lives of the affected individuals. This study aims to examine the changes in the relationship between the patient and their loved ones due to acquired neurological disorders and the influence of health care professionals on this relationship. Through sociogenetic type building, we will identify different types of patient-caregiver dyads and their effects on health care professionals and vice versa. The results will then be integrated into a model based on the theory of symbolic interactionism and Baxter's Relational Dialectics Theory. This study is not funded and was approved by the ethics committee of the German Society for Nursing Science, and it complies with the Declaration of Helsinki. The data collection started in June 2024 based on narrative couple interviews and is running. We assume that patients and their relatives will demonstrate heterogeneity as individuals, as well as in their interactions within the dyad, regarding certain orientations such as coping with illness, motivation for therapy, and coping strategies. Our findings address a biopsychosocial perspective that enhances treatment approaches in neurological long-term care. Understanding the influence of professionals on dyadic couple relationships can improve rehabilitation effectiveness by tailoring therapeutic approaches to various patient types, relatives, and dyadic relationship constellations. This fosters patient- and family-centered therapy in line with holistic care. DERR1-10.2196/63949.

Passenger parenting, role conflict and guilt: the transition to parenthood from new and experienced fathers

ABSTRACT The transition to parenthood brings simultaneous joy and challenge for fathers. Past research focused on experiences of fathers up to one-year post-birth of the first child, however the latter years of this transition and the reflective evaluation beyond this timeframe remain largely unexplored. Fifteen semi-structured interviews were conducted to examine experiences of fathers in Australia with children in the early childhood stage (aged 0-8). Experiences of fathers currently within the initial transition to parenthood reflected past research. Reflections of fathers who were looking back at transition to parenthood showed novel insights that appear to be unavailable to fathers parenting ‘in-the-moment’. Diminished mental health was experienced by fathers and their partners during transition to parenthood. Guilt and feelings of being ill-equipped for parenthood were common. Difficulty adopting authentic parenting and work roles was accompanied with conflict in partner relationships. Fathers proposed socializing and exercising as valued coping strategies. The concept ‘passenger parenting’ was coined to make sense of fathers’ lack of agency and voice. Fathers require support in carving out authentic parenting roles fostering active participation in decisions such as infant feeding, breadwinning across early years parenting, and understanding the longer-term changes in relationship dynamics in preparation for transition to parenthood and beyond.

On the issue of quasi-marital legal relations

In the article, the author examines the issues of quasi-marital relations which in essence resemble marriage but do not meet all the requirements of the law on official marriage. The study is aimed at drawing the attention of the public and of the scientific community to the problems of quasi-marital relations and the need to regulate them. The author analyses the current state of legal regulation of marriage relations in Ukraine. The author notes that quasi-marital or de facto marital relations can be considered typical for modern society. In such relationships, couples live together, have children and property together, but their rights and obligations are regulated not by the Family Code, but by general civil law and are less protected. The author identifies the following main legal problems for quasi-marital relationships: restrictions on personal non-property rights, difficulties in resolving property issues, difficulties in proving in court the fact of cohabitation and running a common household, etc. The reasons for these problems are the uncertainty of the legal status of partners in quasi-marital legal relations. Based on the analysis of scientific literature, the author concludes that current trends in marriage are caused by the desire to preserve individuality within the framework of partnership relations. Therefore, marriage in modern conditions should be viewed as a union of two equal individuals who preserve their identity. The author emphasizes that there is no uniform approach of the judicial authorities to resolving disputes arising out of being in a de facto marriage due to the lack of a clear system of legal regulation of such relations. To substantiate this, the author examines examples from the case law of the Supreme Court of Ukraine and the European Court of Human Rights. Considerable attention is paid to the issue of same-sex marriages, which has become more acute in the context of Russia’s armed aggression against Ukraine. Even if necessary, it is impossible to apply the judicial procedure of proof to their actual relations. The author argues that ignoring quasi-marital legal relations means leaving out a significant number of problems. The author discusses the existing legislative initiatives which are an alternative to traditional official marriage for both same-sex and different-sex couples who for some reason do not wish to legalise their relationships through marriage, and which may be the institution of registered partnership.

Harmony of individual and collective values is the basis of spiritual and intellectual upbringing of a creative personality

In today's world, social challenges, such as the rise of individualism or the desire for uniformity in a team, affect the way we form our personalities. On the one hand, the culture of self-realization and success often encourages selfishness and competition, which can lead to social isolation and problems in interpersonal relationships. On the other hand, an excessive focus on collective values and standards that negate individuality suppresses a person's unique talents and intrinsic motivation. In the context of globalization, digitalization, and rapid social change, the balance between individual development and the ability to cooperate is becoming critical to fostering a personality capable of adapting to the challenges of the 21st century while maintaining internal integrity and flexibility. The harmony of individual and collective aspects of human life implies both personal development and integration into the social environment. It is important for a person to be able to develop his or her unique abilities while maintaining a sense of belonging to a group, as this strengthens his or her internal resources and contributes to successful self-expression. Only a harmonious combination of individual and collective development will allow a person to unleash his or her creative abilities. The choice between egoism and collectivism equally inhibits human development and self-realization. The development of cooperation is the way to harmony between the individual and the collective. Cooperative and partnership relations create favorable conditions for achieving acme. They provide knowledge exchange, support and motivation, enhance creativity, develop communication skills and expand the network of contacts. Thanks to these aspects, an individual has a better chance of realizing their potential and achieving maximum results in life. In today's world, which faces numerous challenges, such as social exclusion, conflict, inequality and environmental issues, a cooperative approach is becoming critical for the harmonious development of the individual. Supporting this approach not only contributes to the formation of socially responsible citizens, but also ensures the creation of a healthy social environment in which everyone can realize their potential. The cooperative approach is based on the principles of mutual respect, cooperation and support, which allows individuals to interact with each other, taking into account both their own and collective needs. This creates conditions for the development of personal qualities such as empathy, tolerance and responsibility, which are key to effective coexistence in society.
