RESUMO

In today's dynamic organizational landscape, characterized by rapid technological advancements and evolving workplace dynamics, understanding the factors influencing employee well-being is paramount. This study investigates the interplay between ethical leadership, organizational climate, role overload, and job burnout in public healthcare organizations across northern Jordan. By focusing on ethical leadership, organizational climate, and role overload as determinants of job burnout, this research provides insights into strategies for enhancing employee well-being. Drawing on ethical leadership theory, social exchange theory, and the job demands-resources model, this study employs PLS-SEM to analyze data collected from 260 employees working in Jordanian government hospitals. The findings reveal negative associations between ethical leadership and job burnout, highlighting the importance of ethical leadership behaviors in mitigating employee burnout. Additionally, a positive organizational climate is associated with lower levels of burnout, underscoring the impact of the broader organizational context on employee well-being. The study also explores the mediating role of organizational climate and the moderating effect of role overload in the relationship between ethical leadership and job burnout, providing insights into the complex dynamics at play in healthcare organizations. These findings enrich our understanding of the factors influencing employee well-being in healthcare contexts and underscore the importance of fostering ethical leadership and supportive organizational climates to mitigate job burnout.

RESUMO

Abdominal pain is a common presentation to the emergency department (ED) and the differential diagnoses is broad. Intussusception is more common in children, with only 5% of cases reported in adults. 80%-90% of adult intussusception is due to a well-defined lesion resulting in a lead point, whereas in children, most cases are idiopathic. The most common site of involvement in adults is the small bowel. Treatment in adults is generally operative management whereas in children, a more conservative approach is taken with non-operative reduction. We present a case of a 54-year-old woman who presented to our ED with severe abdominal pain and vomiting. CT of the abdomen revealed a jejunojejunal intussusception. The patient had an urgent laparoscopy and small bowel resection of the intussusception segment was performed. Histopathological examination of the resected specimen found no pathologic lead point and, therefore, the intussusception was determined to be idiopathic.

RESUMO

This dataset is used to investigate a comprehensive model of user satisfaction and electronic word of mouth (e-WOM). Building on the perceived telecommunication service quality and perceived value dimensions in enhancing and improving users' satisfaction and e-WOM, we empirically investigated how the dimensions of service quality as a second-order construct and perceived value dimensions affect users' satisfaction and e-WOM in the context of mobile operators in North Cyprus. The data were collected through a self-administered questionnaire at Girne American University. The dataset was empirically evaluated using a survey of 500 respondents regarding their perceptions of the service provided by the mobile telecom operator. Data analysis involved structural equation modelling (SEM) using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) 23 and Analysis of Moment Structures (AMOS) 24. First, we conducted exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and structural modelling, followed by hypothesis testing. The outcomes obtained from this dataset indicated that perceived telecommunication service quality was positively related to perceived value dimensions (performance value and emotional value) and user satisfaction. At the same time, performance value, value for money, and social value were found to have a direct impact on user satisfaction. Specifically, there was a significant relationship between user satisfaction and e-WOM. The results may provide further insights into mobile value-added services.

RESUMO

Studies in the renal transplant population have suggested calcium-channel blockers (CCBs) may protect against calcineurin inhibitor (CNI)-induced nephrotoxicity. However, this has not been evaluated in the hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) population. This retrospective study reviews data from 350 consecutive patients who underwent allogeneic HSCT to determine whether amlodipine improved renal outcomes. Subject data included up to one year from CNI initiation. Patients in the amlodipine group (n = 130) received an average of 143 days treatment with amlodipine and experienced a smaller decrease in creatinine clearance (CrCl) through day 180. At day 30, change in CrCl was -17.4 mL/min in the amlodipine cohort and -33.8 mL/min in the control (P < 0.001). At day 180, change in CrCl was -40.9 and -50.6 mL/min, respectively (P = 0.005). Incidence of hospitalization with acute kidney injury (AKI) was significantly lower in patients receiving amlodipine, 7.7% (10/132) vs 16.4% (36/220) (hazard ratio [HR] 0.44; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.22-0.89). Median blood pressure in the amlodipine group remained <132/78 through day 360. Our data support the use of amlodipine for hypertension in the allogeneic HSCT population and provide evidence suggesting that CCBs protect against CNI-induced nephrotoxicity.

RESUMO

Olive mill wastewater (OMW), a liquid by-product of the olive oil industry, represents a severe environmental problem owing to its high pollution load. In this study, successive columns containing different types of natural materials were investigated for their OMW treatment efficiency. Passing OMW through three columns of gravel, fine sand, and a mixture of acidified cotton and zeolite (weight:weight ratio of cotton:clinoptilolite of 2:1), followed by treatment with activated charcoal (AC) and lime, was the best treatment in terms of the quality of water obtained. This treatment decreased concentrations of [Formula: see text] , B, K, P, and total fat in OMW by mean percentages of 78.0, 92.4, 66.6, 48.3, and 93.3%, respectively. Furthermore, it decreased OMW turbidity and electric conductivity (EC) by 96.8 and 48.4%, respectively. Most contaminants were removed from the OMW in the cotton/clinoptilolite column owing to the high sorption affinity of clinoptilolite on its active sites. The AC was efficient for organic particle removal; meanwhile, lime was used to raise the pH of the treated OMW (TOMW) from 2.9 to 5.1. This simple method enables us to obtain environmentally friendly TOMW that can be safely used for irrigation.
