Strategically addressing the post-COVID organization: the hope of employee experience

Purpose The post-COVID environment presents significant challenges for organizations. Unfortunately, many leaders and organizations are living in “post-pandemic.” Leaders must reframe their approaches to employee relationships and the nature of the workplace. Employee experience, which combines, user experience, design thinking and organizational development, provides a methodology and perspective that is needed to address these significant changes. The purpose of this paper is to readdress employee experience and how its approach challenges conventional approaches to human resources (HR) and employee engagement and demonstrate how it can serve as an indispensable tool for transitioning to the new workplace. Design/methodology/approach Employee experience has become ubiquitous in organizations, but unfortunately the underlying sources and philosophies that distinguish this approach are often neglected. This paper demonstrates the new, irreversible organizational world created by COVID-19, reviews the origins of the concept, reviews the six principles previously introduced and then explicates three philosophical paradigmatic shifts that must be undertaken to take advantage of employee experience and address the new organizational challenges. Findings Employee experience can serve as a strategic tool for addressing post-COVID-19 organizational challenges. Past ideas about engagement will not work. Three shifts deriving from employee experience’s roots in user experiences, design thinking and emergent organization development must be adopted. Instead of thinking structurally in which things are primary, leaders need to take a relational perspective which insists on relational primacy. Because experience is holistic and embodied, a phenomenological perspective must take the place of the usual behavioral perspective. Finally, leaders and HR must see the task ahead as a collaborative codesign with employees, insisting on radical participation. Research limitations/implications As with the medical challenges with the COVID-19 virus itself, the organizational challenges are new and have never been faced before. It is difficult to shift paradigms, challenge assumptions and redirect effort while maintaining operating organizations. Often, leaders and organizations are ill-equipped to address very novel situations from past experience and education. Much more research and practical implementations need to be conducted to continue to evolve the concept. Practical implications Organizations are facing many crises beyond the supply/demand economic issues caused by COVID-19. The social issues within the organizational world are often overlooked but having significant impact. Cultures have been attenuated and disrupted, employee expectations have changed and the remote job market has expanded opportunities for employment. As a result, retention, performance, loyalty and satisfaction have been negatively impacted. If organizations want to continue growth and productivity, they need to find new ways of working and operating. Social implications The nature of work, organization and employee/organization relationship is in transition. Because much of people’s lives are spent in the workplace, this shift has significant implications for relationships within and beyond the workplace. COVID-19 has also had an impact on mental health, life satisfaction and other aspects of the human experience. Experience in the workplace and outside the workplace are converging and impacting each other. The new reality cannot be ignored or denied. Originality/value Many organizations, leaders and HR practitioners are approaching the new reality with outdated and ineffective tools from the pre-COVID-19 world, tools that were questionably effective then. Reclaiming the revolutionary underpinnings of employee experience is a necessary but often neglected action.

Root and Tuber Crop Market System in Nigeria Macroeconomic Determinants

Root and tuber crops are food security crop and thus have wide market preference and value in many economies. However, they are constrained by a convergence of external factors that impact on their production, marketing and export potential. The study opened conversations on the market system of root and tuber crops and examined macroeconomic variables that influence Nigeria market commercialization drive and competitiveness in both regional and international trade, using cross sectional data from 1960 to 2016 sourced from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) statistical bulletin, Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) database and World Bank Development indicators. Analytically, the study employed econometric tools such as unit root tests, trend analysis (i.e. quadratic equation), Generalized Method of Moments, Malmquist productivity index, Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model. Findings revealed that macroeconomic variables of exports, imports, and inflation, exchange rate, tariff, price and world exports had long-run and short-run impacts on the exports of root and tuber crops. The study recommends market-oriented strategy by caution against protectionist led interventions such as outright ban on importation, as they impact negatively on market behaviour; rather advocated for effective policing of border to check smuggling, also improvement in policies that improve production to check price instability, which characterize root and tuber crop marketing in Nigeria. There is need for effective regulation and policies that protect risk and guarantee returns in the supply chain of root and tuber crops so that supply-chain actors can benefit substantially from international trade.

Identification of Predictors of Mood Disorder Misdiagnosis and Subsequent Help-Seeking Behavior in Individuals With Depressive Symptoms: Gradient-Boosted Tree Machine Learning Approach.

Misdiagnosis and delayed help-seeking cause significant burden for individuals with mood disorders such as major depressive disorder and bipolar disorder. Misdiagnosis can lead to inappropriate treatment, while delayed help-seeking can result in more severe symptoms, functional impairment, and poor treatment response. Such challenges are common in individuals with major depressive disorder and bipolar disorder due to the overlap of symptoms with other mental and physical health conditions, as well as, stigma and insufficient understanding of these disorders. In this study, we aimed to identify factors that may contribute to mood disorder misdiagnosis and delayed help-seeking. Participants with current depressive symptoms were recruited online and data were collected using an extensive digital mental health questionnaire, with the World Health Organization World Mental Health Composite International Diagnostic Interview delivered via telephone. A series of predictive gradient-boosted tree algorithms were trained and validated to identify the most important predictors of misdiagnosis and subsequent help-seeking in misdiagnosed individuals. The analysis included data from 924 symptomatic individuals for predicting misdiagnosis and from a subset of 379 misdiagnosed participants who provided follow-up information when predicting help-seeking. Models achieved good predictive power, with area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.75 and 0.71 for misdiagnosis and help-seeking, respectively. The most predictive features with respect to misdiagnosis were high severity of depressed mood, instability of self-image, the involvement of a psychiatrist in diagnosing depression, higher age at depression diagnosis, and reckless spending. Regarding help-seeking behavior, the strongest predictors included shorter time elapsed since last speaking to a general practitioner about mental health, sleep problems disrupting daily tasks, taking antidepressant medication, and being diagnosed with depression at younger ages. This study provides a novel, machine learning-based approach to understand the interplay of factors that may contribute to the misdiagnosis and subsequent help-seeking in patients experiencing low mood. The present findings can inform the development of targeted interventions to improve early detection and appropriate treatment of individuals with mood disorders.

Analisis Konsep Good Corporate Governance Dalam Perspektif Syariah Untuk Mengatasi Permasalahan Penerapan Corporate Governance Perbankan Di Indonesia

Good Corporate Governance is the most well-known principle in the world for maintaining the integrity of world organizations. Almost all international locations in all countries adhere to the foundation of building responsibility and openness. Unfortunately, in its application, GCG does not explain the values ​​of stakeholders. The study aims to reconstruct GCG (OECD version) and look for a more appropriate Sharia Concept. Of course, this will provide a solution to the problem itself. After analyzing the values ​​and character of SET, we built a modern GCG positioned on Islamic concepts. These concepts are; One; deeper sympathy from stakeholders, second; principles regarding stakeholder rights: third, equality in stakeholder behavior, fourth, the principle of openness, finally, regarding corporate accountability.Weak GCG practices in Indonesia are caused by the low level of protection for investors, law enforcement, transparency and ineffective public company audit committees. This condition strongly encourages the need for effective and efficient global corporate governance. Islamic Corporate Governance The Islamic perspective lies in the Islamic Company Theory which has greater concern for wider stakeholders which include God, humans and nature. The difference in goals between conventional Corporate Governance and Sharia GCG which tends to adhere to Sharia Enterprise Theory (SET). SET equates material and spiritual values. This shows that Sharia GCG does not only achieve material benefits, but also spiritual values. SET also equates egoistic values ​​with altruistic values, which in Islamic law are realized in the form of worship.

Sensitivity assessment of diphacinone by pharmacokinetic analysis in invasive black rats in the Bonin (Ogasawara) Archipelago, Japan

The Bonin Archipelago is a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization's World Natural Heritage Site in Japan with a unique ecosystem; however, the invasive rodents preying on endemic species have been a significant concern. The anticoagulant rodenticide, diphacinone, sprayed by the Ministry of the Environment, has succeeded; however, its repeated use leads to rodenticide resistance. This study evaluated the sensitivity by in vivo pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) analysis and physiologically-based pharmacokinetic modeling to diphacinone in black rats (Rattus rattus) captured on the Bonin Archipelago in February 2022. The Bonin rats exhibited prolonged coagulation time after diphacinone administration. They recovered earlier than susceptible black rats, indicating that Bonin rats were less susceptible, though there were no genetic mutations in Vkorc1, the target enzyme of diphacinone. After the administration of diphacinone, hepatic expression levels of Fsp1, identified as the vitamin K reductase, was decreased, however, the Bonin rats exhibited the most minor suppression. The PK analysis showed that the excretion capacity of the Bonin rats was lower than that of the resistant black rats. In the PBPK modeling, the resistant black rats showed higher clearance than the Bonin and susceptible black rats due to high hepatic metabolic capacity. The Bonin rats demonstrated slow absorption and relatively low clearance. This study highlighted the reduced rodenticide-sensitive tendency of wild black rats in the Bonin Archipelago at an in vivo phenotype level. At the same time, they do not have known rodenticide resistance mechanisms, such as hepatic metabolic enhancement or Vkorc1 mutations. It is crucial to monitor the biological levels to evaluate rodenticide sensitivity accurately.

Mutual aid food sharing during the COVID-19 pandemic: case study of Tompkins County, NY.

The COVID-19 pandemic led to greater food insecurity across the world, and government and charitable organisations did not always respond quickly enough or adequately to meet food needs. Mutual aid (MA) - neighbours helping neighbours to meet survival needs - mobilised residents to share food, often through outdoor food cabinets and refrigerators. This study aims to understand how MA food sharing was implemented, including food availability, acceptability, accessibility and impact on food access. This case study describes one MA food sharing system by triangulating data from flyers, notes from nineteen volunteer meetings, six cabinet host interviews, data extracted from 1387 social media posts and 356 photographs, and 111 resident surveys. Tompkins County, NY, USA (total population about 100 000). We estimated high availability of food: approximately 250 000 food servings were shared monthly, mostly carbohydrates. Most residents obtaining food found it acceptable, including satisfaction with food safety and cleanliness, food quantity, and ease of travel to the cabinets but were less satisfied with food variety. MA food sharing was accessible to food-insecure, unemployed and disabled residents, but not other priority populations. About two-thirds of residents reported improved food access. Volunteers exhibited tenacity and ingenuity in meeting operational challenges which included trash and vandalism, winter weather and unusable food contributions while foregrounding residents' safety and privacy as shared values and navigating conflicting views about fairness. In times of crisis, MA can improve food access through free food sharing cabinets, but barriers include unacceptable food contributions and outdoor conditions.

An integrated approach considering military, technological, social and economic factors is necessary for effective prevention and resolution of future conflicts.

Discussions and applications of the organizational culture in telecommuting contexts

This article aims to reflect on the implications for research and intervention in or-ganizational culture in telework contexts. Organizational culture needs to address issues related to tasks and goal achievement within the dynamics of individual work, considering the processes of symbolization in the world of work. Additionally, it should expand analytical frameworks to account for the complexities of virtual relationships. The reflection was based on a qualitative synthesis of the results from two master's dissertations. One dissertation focused on organizational culture, while the other examined teleworking. This qualitative synthesis reflected on four fundamental aspects: a) the changes that organizational culture may undergo when in-dividuals change their workplace, b) the changes resulting from alterations in work hours, c) the communicational changes that occur in these new contexts, and d) the cultural changes that can arise from altering contractual relationships in telework settings. The existence of changes in the precepts that shape organizational culture due to the adoption of telework in labor management was discussed. The digitalization or virtualization of work affects social interactions, adding complexity to group dynamics. This prompts academia to reconsider categories and conceptualizations related to the organizational world.

The vowel /a/ as the main portal to humanity’s language and culture faculties

The vowel /a/ is regarded here as the initial sound, based on earlier vowel-like vocalization in humans, especially the neonate cry. This particular type of vocalization marks the true beginning of human language in the ontological perspective. Its presence is absolutely fundamental for the generation and maintenance of oxygen-based language and culture complex. All of human life is conducted in the human auditive world of organization based on the air (the aerial condition).

Issues of Sustainability in Agricultural Training

The education system has an important role and responsibility in educating the future generation, to become conscious consumers. Environmental awareness appears on several levels in their way of life and lifestyle, which is greatly influenced by the education system. According to the opinion of various world organizations (UN, UNESCO, WHO), education is one of the most effective ways of shaping attitudes within an organized framework and developing individual competencies and skills for becoming a sustainable consumer. (UNESCO 2014, US 2002) One of the aims of this literature summary is to provide a literary overview of how sustainability is presented in education, the other aim is to shed light on the presentation of sustainability dimensions - in vocational agricultural training - by presenting an effective, foreign, food industry model. Encouraging the young generation to achieve comprehensive actions towards global sustainability goals in economic life and society is important, therefore it is necessary to develop an applicable methodology.

The Funnel of Game Design – An Adaptive Game Design Approach for Complex Systems

Background In a world of ever-increasing complexity, organizations and people have an ever-increasing need for support systems that help them understand and shape the world around them. While simulation game design derived from the very idea to propose an instrument able to address complexity, seminal approaches dealt with a different level of complexity. In a networked, digitalized world, complexity has increased, and traditional approaches towards designing games show certain shortcomings that have to be overcome. Aim This article proposes a new process of game design for complex problems and complex systems that can both be used by game designers as well as the scientific community in the field. This process is represented within a framework, based on two parts. The so-called ‘Funnel of Game Design’ based on the IDEAS approach represents the process of problem derivation, while the ‘House of Game Design’ also covers possible steps towards the final game product and process, including de-briefing and evaluation. Method Based on hands-on experiences and related work, we developed several steps of a game design process (IDEAS approach). In face-to-face interviews, we discussed the first version of the framework with experts in the field of simulation game studies. Results This process led to the framework presented in this article, which shows the steps of problem derivation as well as challenges that can occur, and proposes adaptive methods to overcome these challenges. The framework includes elements that support the definition of complex problems, and their translation into game designs. Recommendation We recommend practitioners and scientists to apply the new framework presented here in their efforts to define the underlying problem that should be addressed by an envisioned simulation game, and in translating this into a valid, engaging and meaningful game experience.

Flood inundation assessment of UNESCO World Heritage Sites using remote sensing and spatial metrics in Hoi An City, Vietnam

Flooding is the most frequent and damaging threat to The United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Sites, and has been exacerbated by climate change. Hoi An Ancient Town, one of the world's cultural heritage sites in Vietnam, is facing inundation risks from increasing extreme flood events due to anthropogenic and natural processes. This study combines Geospatial Information System (GIS), remote sensing data, and landscape ecology metrics to assess the flood risk of Hoi An City. The analysis includes (1) classification of land-use/land-cover (LULC) using Sentinel-2 data; (2) computation of a flood risk index using hazard characteristics, physical and demographic exposures, and physical and socioeconomic vulnerabilities, together with adaptive capacity and spatial metrics, and the Fuzzy-Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method to determine the weight of each index and ranking; and (3) determination of flood risks for the UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Hoi An City and the surrounding areas. By comparing model outputs with historical flood locations (N = 330), the study finds that >75% of past floods occurred at high or very high-risk areas forecasted by the model. Results from the model verified by true flood incidents show that the inundation hotspots are concentrated in the city's heritage sites, where human and climate changes have impacted landscape structure. The flood inundation risk mapping obtained from the synthesis analysis, encompasses hazard, exposure, and vulnerability, offering holistic knowledge to help reduce and manage flood risks at Hoi An World Heritage Sites. This method can be applicable to other sites with similar characteristics.

Dancing Our Way Beyond Work: Playlists and Zines as Teaching Tools to Imagine a World Without Work

For a Master’s course in Organization Studies, in which we addressed refusals of work, we asked students to suggest songs for a playlist to be assembled as the basis for the creation of a zine in a workshop setting. Based on the Zapatista movement’s slogan "one no, many yeses," we asked students to imagine worlds beyond work and to visualize this in a zine. Contemporary music became a critical pedagogical tool for teaching. It allowed us to go beyond critique and the familiar world of work and organizations, and facilitated an affective, creative, and aesthetic movement towards "many yeses" in the form of a zine to refuse work.

Peran Revolusi Teknologi Terhadap Budaya Organisasi Dan Interaksi Antar Karyawan Dalam Lingkungan Kerja

This research is motivated by the increasing conditions of technological development. Technology has become an important factor in various aspects of human life, one of which is in the world of business and organizations. The development of technological tools can facilitate collaboration between teams to be more efficient, thus impacting the formation of an organization's culture and relationships between employees. The purpose of this study is to analyze the influence of the technological revolution on organizational cultural conditions and the formation of social dynamics between employees in the work environment. Research conducted using the type of writing literature studies or literature review studies that focus on comparing data from several journals or sources through a series of analysis and summarization activities. The research method applied is a qualitative method by containing sources from several previous research journals and e-books published on digital platforms. The results show that the influence of the technological revolution in the formation of organizational culture and interaction between employees can realize team collaboration efficiently and create correlations in a wider scope. However, dependence on technology can lead to social isolation and unnecessary conflict. There needs to be an understanding for every individual and company about the advantages and disadvantages that can result from access to technology. In addition, strategies need to be created to achieve harmony in an increasingly productive work environment.

A global comparative study of wealth-pain gradients: Investigating individual- and country-level associations.

Pain is a significant yet underappreciated dimension of population health. Its associations with individual- and country-level wealth are not well characterized using global data. We estimate both individual- and country-level wealth inequalities in pain in 51 countries by combining data from the World Health Organization's World Health Survey with country-level contextual data. Our research concentrates on three questions: 1) Are inequalities in pain by individual-level wealth observed in countries worldwide? 2) Does country-level wealth also relate to pain prevalence? 3) Can variations in pain reporting also be explained by country-level contextual factors, such as income inequality? Analytical steps include logistic regressions conducted for separate countries, and multilevel models with random wealth slopes and resultant predicted probabilities using a dataset that pools information across countries. Findings show individual-level wealth negatively predicts pain almost universally, but the association strength differs across countries. Country-level contextual factors do not explain away these associations. Pain is generally less prevalent in wealthier countries, but the exact nature of the association between country-level wealth and pain depends on the moderating influence of country-level income inequality, measured by the Gini index. The lower the income inequality, the more likely it is that poor countries experience the highest and rich countries the lowest prevalence of pain. In contrast, the higher the income inequality, the more nonlinear the association between country-level wealth and pain reporting such that the highest prevalence is seen in highly nonegalitarian middle-income countries. Our findings help to characterize the global distribution of pain and pain inequalities, and to identify national-level factors that shape pain inequalities.

Political science meets physical science: The shared concept of stability

Abstract A biophysical chemist and a political scientist team up to explore striking parallels between the requisites of “stability” and the causes of instability within both the cellular/molecular world of biophysical chemistry and the world of social and political organization of self-assembled, societal structures, such as sovereign states and institutions. The structure, function, and organizational similarities of such parallelisms are particularly noteworthy, given that human agency introduces greater contingency in the sociopolitical world than do the “laws of Nature” in the natural-scientific world. In this perspective piece, we critically identify and analyze these parallels between the natural and the social realms through the prism of the shared concept of stability, including causal factors that embrace the full “stability spectrum” from instability to stability. This spectrum includes the crucial bridging, time-dependent, intermediate, kinetic state of “metastability.” Our analyses reveal that, in the microscopic/molecular world of the physical sciences, the thermodynamic and kinetic characterizations of the stabilities and transformations between physiochemical “states” exhibit cognate properties and features in the macroscopic world of sociopolitical arenas in ways that reflect a greater than traditionally assumed continuity between Nature and society. Select examples from the natural and social realms are presented and elaborated on to illustrate these parallelisms, while underscoring the striking similarities in their functional consequences.

Evaluation of the Suspensioning Decision of Hydropower Dam in the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (Unesco) World Natural Heritage Registered Forest (The Case of Shafarood Dam, Iran)

Objective: The Hyrcanian forests (Caspian forests) are located in western Asia and were inscribed on the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage List in 2019. The construction of the hydropower Shafarood dam began in these forests in 1990.Because of budget deficits and the suspensions incurred by opposing activists in 2013, dam construction has only advanced by 23% ever since. The main purpose of this paper was to evaluation of the suspensioning decision of hydropower dam in the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) world natural heritage registered forest.
 
 Theoretical framework: The case of this study was the Shafarood dam in Iran. There were several meetings held between opposing and agreeing stakeholders and the relevant organizations and therefore, it was decided to unsuspend the project provided that specific changes are made to the plan and adequate financial resources are allocated. The dam’s reservoir has caused the destruction of 175 hectares of Hyrcanian forests and its biodiversity. Forests play a key role in reducing greenhouse gases on a global scale.
 
 Result: Based upon the collected data and opinions from the proponents and opponents of the dam construction, and according to the options of implementing or terminating; the environment was divided into three categories and accordingly, the environmental impact assessment (EIA) was performed. Finally, an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) was proposed for this dam and those under construction or suspended in forested areas.
 
 Conclusion: To minimize the negative environmental effects of Hydropower Shafarood dam, an environmental impact reduction plan was proposed, whichmainly focused on mitigating measures. Reduction measures in this plan include reducing the height of the dam, proper localization of supply materials required for the dam construction, replacing modern agriculture with traditional agriculture, looking for an alternative water supply for drinking and industrial sector via conventional and unconventional methods, forest rehabilitation.

A Review on Medicinal Plants Used as Alternative Treatment for Malaria: An Anti-malarial Drug

Malaria remains an important risk around the globe public health, particularly in tropical and subtropical areas. Malaria, a disease that infects millions of human beings worldwide, is still caused by numerous Plasmodium species, with Plasmodium falciparum being the most virulent and common in sub-Saharan Africa. Pregnant women tend to be at high risk despite great success in lowering malaria-related deaths. This study focuses on using natural antimalarial treatments in Ghana, an economy with a severe malaria epidemic. Communities in Ghana rely on those natural remedies because they perceive them to be efficient and affordable, especially in rural areas. The study's objectives involve figuring out the herbs applied in these preparations, evaluating their scientific validity, and deciding if they correspond to the requirements of the FDA for domestic and foreign marketing. The World Health Organization's World Health Assembly has recognized the elimination of parasitic infections as one of its top goals. The obstacle with current antimalarial drug resistance necessitates people to search for novel treatments. The success rate of various plant-based malaria treatments is looked at in this study. In the end, results indicate the need for additional study in the search for appropriate antimalarial medical products and educate us to understand conventional herbal treatments and their roles in fighting the spread of malaria.
