Nowadays, organizational performance and Firm Growth (FG) depend significantly on entrepreneurship, intrapreneurship and Employee Satisfaction. Menadione This study aimed to examine ES, intrapreneurship, and FG among top managers in Pakistan. The study employed a quantitative method based on cross-sectional data which we collected through a survey questionnaire. In conducting this study, the researchers employed a random sampling technique. The final analysis utilized 180 valid samples. The findings of the SEM analysis show that ES has a significant and positive impact on intrapreneurship and FG. Furthermore, intrapreneurship has, also, a positive and significant impact on FG. This study's results have led the researchers to conclude that a thoughtful and systematic approach to ES would lead to greater intrapreneurship and FG. This study's findings contribute, also, to intrapreneurship research by adding to the empirical evidence on the effects of ES and intrapreneurship on FG.The brain maintains homeostasis of neural excitation in part through the receptor-mediated signaling of Glutamate (Glu) and Gamma Amino Butyric Acid (GABA), but localized injuries cause cellular release of excess Glu leading to neurotoxicity. The literature strongly supports the role of Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) in adult brain neuroprotection and repair, and research supporting the existence of molecular interactions between Glu, GABA, and IGF-1 in vitro and in normal animals raises the question of whether and/or how the Glu/GABA system interacts with IGF-1 post-injury. This systematic review was undertaken to explore works addressing this question among adults with a history of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and/or cerebrovascular accident (CVA; stroke). The literature was searched for human and animal studies and only four animal papers met inclusion criteria. The SYRCLE criteria was used to evaluate risk of bias; results varied between categories and papers. All the included studies, one on TBI and three on stroke, supported the molecular relationship between the excitatory and IGF-1 systems; two studies provided direct, detailed molecular evidence. The results point to the importance of research on the role of this protective system in pathological brain injury; a hypothetical proposal for future studies is presented.Water scarcity is one of the main challenges in sustainable agricultural development particularly in developing countries therefore, irrigation of food crops with wastewater effluent has become a common practice in order to meet the growing food demand. The aim of this study was to determine the impact of wastewater irrigation on bacterial community and antibiotic resistance dynamics in soil and vegetables in an agricultural setting. To determine bacterial diversity, occurrence and overall dynamics of antibiotic resistant genes (ARGs) in effluent irrigated soil and vegetables, 16S rRNA gene metagenomics, shotgun metagenomics and molecular PCR technique were utilized. A shift in bacterial community profile was observed as notable reduction in proteobacteria and increase in firmicutes phyla from the microcosm soil following wastewater effluent irrigation. Shotgun metagenomics revealed diverse ARGs belonging to at least nine different classes of antibiotics in the effluent wastewater. However, only bla TEM (beta-lactamase) and aadA (aminoglycoside) resistance gene sequences were identified in microcosm soil following irrigation and only bla TEM was detected on effluent irrigated vegetable surfaces (spinach and beetroots). From the study, only bla TEM gene was identified across all samples; effluent wastewater, effluent-treated soil, and vegetables. The data suggests a possible dissemination and persistence of the beta-lactamase bla TEM gene from effluent wastewater into agricultural soil and vegetables. This study enhances our understanding of antibiotic resistance spread and highlights the importance of monitoring antibiotic resistance in agro-systems, which is critical for informing policies aimed at sustainable use of wastewater effluent in water-stressed countries.This study investigates the relationship between diversification and Islamic banking systems' performance under the impact of the COVID-19 turmoil using a sample of 24 countries from 2013Q4 and 2020Q4. The findings indicate that the performance of Islamic banking systems is positively associated with sectoral diversification of Shari'ah-compliant financing and income diversification. Although this study confirms a negative impact of the COVID-19 shock, income diversification is found to mitigate the adverse effect of this health crisis on the performance of the Islamic banking systems. In which, Sukuk investment is considered an essential channel for pursuing this diversification strategy. Therefore, this research has important implications for policymakers, managers, and academics.Maritime transport for both passengers and freight is continuously increasing and, consequently, the global attention toward its sustainability is growing. Ships offer advantages in terms of environmental impact compared to other transportation systems but the increasing traffic volume is expected to increase pollutants. Noise produced in port areas has been neglected for too long, until the INTERREG Maritime programme Italy-France 2014-2020 has brought to light how citizen complaints are emerging for some of the main ports in the Mediterranean. However, port noise prevention and management is difficult as knowledge on specific sources is very limited in the literature. Furthermore, on field measurements are difficult to be performed given the complexity of the port area, where multiple types of sound emitters mix and confuse each other. Noise maps represent the first important step in order to align ports to the requirements set by the Environmental Noise Directive to the transportation infrastructures. Once computed, they are an excellent tool supporting port management towards the reduction of citizens' noise exposure while ensuring traffic growth. The present paper reports a guideline for the characterization of noise sources needed as inputs for the noise maps, as developed in the framework of the INTERREG Maritime programme Italy-France 2014-2020. On the basis of the current state of the art, a procedure has been elaborated for different categories of noise sources acting in port, ranging from stationary to moving ships, from mooring operations to loading/unloading operations, from industrial activities to road and railway traffic.This study was conducted with the objective of finding alternative management options for potato tuber sprouting during storage. Essential oils from Croton macrostachyus, Eucalyptus globulus, Allium sativum, Cymbopogon citratus, Cymbopogon martini, Rosmarinus officinalis and Thymus schimperi were applied in completely randomized design using two quantities (1 and 2 ml) and three frequencies (1, 2, 3). Essential oils from Cymbopogon citratus and Thymus schimperi showed the lowest percentage of weight loss relative to control tubers for varieties Gudene (8.07%) and Jalene (13.34%), respectively. Essential oils were applied in the form of vapour inside wooden box for 24 h without direct contact with tubers. For both varieties, the potato tuber weight loss found to be minimized using 2 ml essential oils. Similarly, lowest percentage of weight loss at one, two and three applications were found for variety Jalene from Cymbopogon martini, Eucalyptus globulus and Croton macrostachyus, respectively. On the other hand,these species and other potential species must be made available to farmers with training on how to make extracts and apply them.

Considering the severity of the global outbreak of coronavirus (COVID-19) on the whole of humanity, particularly in this case on the physical and mental health of students, this study strives to explore the role of financial worries, employment anxiety and COVID-19 knowledge on depression and mental health among students in Bangladesh.

In the study, a deductive reasoning approach was employed, together with a self-administered questionnaire survey. Questionnaires were sent to the respondents via different social media and by email by creating a Google form link. We finally received 387 responses students aged over 18 years who had internet access in order to complete the survey. To analyze the data, structural equation modeling via AMOS was used.

The results showed that employment anxiety, financial worry, and knowledge on COVID-19 positively influence depression, and finally depression negatively influences the mental health of the students. Thus, our findings supported all of the proposed hypotheses.

The research enriches the existing literature pool by contributing empirical substantiation on the role of employment anxiety, financial worries and knowledge of COVID-19 in depression, and the impact of depression on mental health.

Indeed, time-varying electromagnetic field can be induced when myocardial cell is exposed or surrounded by electromagnetic field and thus the effect of electromagnetic induction should be considered. From the analyzes of sampled series for membrane potentials, the improved model holds many bifurcation parameters and the mode of excitations and electric activities can be detected and observed in larger parameter zones. It is found that apart from exciting a myocardial cell, the mixed frequencies magnetic radiation can promote mode transition to bursting type behavior as the frequency is increased as well as suppress the electrical activities to quiescent state under high intensities magnetic radiations, which are consistent with biological experiments.Nuclear energy is a choice to meet the electricity needs of West Kalimantan, Indonesia to support new industrial areas. Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs) require an appropriate location in terms of biogeophysical, socio-economic, and disaster considerations. This study aims to determine potential sites for NPPs using spatial-weighted multicriteria analysis. GIS and analytical hierarchical processes (AHP) were combined to produce suitable NPPs site. This study showed that West Kalimantan has a very high suitability area covering 16,321.66 Km2 (25.81 %) for NPPs. The NPPs are proposed to operate with water reactor coolants, thereby prioritizing areas of about five kilometres from the shoreline. We discovered twelve sites, but only two suitable priority sites for NPPs were found in Ketapang after overlapping with national/regional planning and the existing state. These sites will not significantly impact the environment, socio-economic, and policies, also will support electricity for the new capital region for Indonesia.
