Abstract Background Long-COVID research to date focuses on outcomes in non-hospitalised vs. hospitalised survivors. However Emergency Department attendees (post-ED) presenting with acute COVID-19 may experience less supported recovery compared to people admitted and discharged from hospital (post-hospitalised group, PH). Objective We evaluated outcomes and predictors of specialty care referrals (SCR) in those with ongoing symptomatic Long-COVID, comparing post-ED and PH adults. Methods This prospective observational cohort study evaluates 800 PH and 484 post-ED adults from a single hospital in London, United Kingdom. Participants had either confirmed laboratory-positive SARS-CoV-2 infection or clinically suspected acute COVID-19 and were offered post-COVID clinical follow-up at approximately six weeks after their ED attendance or inpatient discharge, to assess ongoing symptoms and support recovery. Multiple logistic regression determined associations with specialist care referrals (SCR) to respiratory, cardiology, physiotherapy (including chest physiotherapy), and mental health services. Results Presence of at least one Long-COVID symptom was lower in adults attending ED services with acute COVID-19 compared to those hospitalised (70.1% post-ED vs. 79.5% PH adults, p

- Abstract
The relationship among six Jordanian almond landraces was studied using morphological traits and RAPD analyses. Across six almond landraces studied, nut shape, kernel size, nut length, nut size, and shell length That showed a high level of variation (CV>30%), while kernel length, shell width, internodes length, and nut width showed comparatively low values (CV<20%). Principal component analysis showed that the first five components explained all morphological variation among the landraces investigated. Kernel and nut traits were predominant in the first three components contributing to most of the total variation that existed among landraces. Euclidean distance was used to construct clusters from morphological data which allocated individuals into two main groups with a distance ranging from 5.5 to 10.14. Hajari, Hami Hallo, and Mukhmaly with small fruit sizes composed one main cluster, while the other three landraces (Oga, Fark, and Abu Dabos) with large fruit sizes composed the other main cluster. Out of 62 pre-screened RAPD primers, 12 with reproducible bands and maximum polymorphism were selected for diversity analysis. Seventy-one bands were scored with 28 of them being the polymorphic. Average value of polymorphism/primer ranged from 20% to 74.2%. Nei's genetic distance coefficient ranged from 0.5 to 0.85 with an average of 0.70. Molecular analysis revealed inconsistent separation among the landraces compared with that based on morphological traits. Although landraces found during the screening in the Ajloun area are limited in number, but considerable variation was observed both at morphological and DNA levels indicating that Jordanian almond landraces are rich and valuable genetic materials for almond improvement.

This study aim is to examine the effect of Demographic characteristics of the board of directors (Women on corporate board, Board size, Auditing firm, Size of a firm, Leverage and return on equity) on Tax Avoidance using a sample of30 big firms from different sectors listed in the stock exchange of Pakistan from 2010 to 2019. The study uses secondary data taken from the Balance Sheet of firms and SCS trade. To analyze the data, the Panel data regression model used to observe the result of the demographic characteristics of the board of directors on tax avoidance. The results indicate that a firm audited by Big-4 reduces the corporate tax avoidance. Additionally, firms with a larger size of board of directors are associated with more tax avoidance. However, the presence of women on the board of directors does not reduce the corporate tax avoidance.

Social isolation and loneliness are major health concerns for older adults in the United States. This scoping review examines the effectiveness of intergenerational interventions aimed at reducing social isolation and loneliness among older adults in the United States, specifically through programs that engage university students from healthcare-related fields in one-on-one settings with older adults, as reports of lacking geriatric training of healthcare students causes older adult neglect to persist in the healthcare workforce. The importance of addressing these issues is underscored by significant health risks and substantial economic burdens, with social isolation and loneliness potentially increasing mortality and costing Medicare an estimated $6.7 billion annually. Covering literature from 2010 to 2022, this review critically assesses the role of such interventions in fostering social connections and improving both physical and mental health outcomes. Despite the positive preliminary results indicating significant reductions in loneliness and enhancements in social networks among participants, the review highlights considerable gaps in current research, particularly in structured intervention curricula, demographic reporting and detailed intervention descriptions. This underscores the need for more rigorous and standardized research methodologies to better understand the effectiveness and potential of intergenerational programs as interventions against the detrimental effects of social isolation and loneliness among older adults.

This paper evaluates the degree of uniformity achieved in clay beds prepared for model tests using slurry consolidation method. Clay Specimens were prepared in a cylindrical tank split into five horizontal rings of equal height. This set-up facilitated the sampling of clay for quality checks viz., oedometer tests, gradation analyses, vane shear strength and water content determination in horizontal and vertical directions throughout the specimen. The results from the study show that while the spatial variation of water contents conforms to the acceptance criterion, the same is not true for that of undrained shear strength which is the main parameter of interest for model tests. It is proposed, therefore, to make the acceptance criterion for water content stricter by the factor bs, which is the characteristic of the soil type, depicting slope of the linear function of water content, w, versus undrained shear strength, su, on log–log scale. Oedometer tests showed the reduction of consolidation pressure with depth, which indicates the loss of applied pressure while being transmitted to the lower layers. Gradation analyses suggested no particle segregation in the consolidated specimen. The relation between water content and consolidation pressure was utilised to plot pressure distribution contours throughout the specimen. The uniformity in the specimen was also compared with that prepared through centrifuge consolidation.

Sweet syndrome (SS), or acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis, is a rare painful skin condition that is characterized by hyperpyrexia, peripheral blood and skin neutrophilia, and edematous skin lesions. Necrotizing SS (NSS) is a severe and locally aggressive condition that histopathologically resembles a necrotizing soft tissue infection. As opposed to necrotizing soft tissue infections, NSS responds to systemic steroids. SS is divided into three subtypes: classical SS, malignancy-associated SS, and drug-induced SS. Within the malignancy-associated SS subtype, both solid tumor and hematologic malignancies have been precursors to developing SS. Here, we present a case of acute myeloid leukemia-associated NSS.

Purpose: The main aim of this study was to investigate the factors that influence the customers’ behavioral intention to adopt financial technologies (Fin-tech) in the banking sector of Pakistan. These factors include perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, attitude towards use, environmental concerns and demographic variable age was taken as moderator in this study. Design/Methodology/Approach: The primary data was collected from 600 customers of the banking sector located in the region of southern Punjab, Pakistan, using simple random sampling techniques from those who are using technologies for their financial activities. The five-point Likert scale was used for data collection and the Google form was used to collect the data as this is the most efficient way. Findings: The findings of this study reveal that many factors including perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, attitude towards use, and environmental concerns play a positive and significant role in the adoption of financial technologies for their business activities for the customers of the banking sector. At the same time, age was taken as a moderator which significantly moderated the relationship between environmental concerns and behavioral intention to adopt fin-tech. Implications/Originality/Value: This study gave a detailed understanding of the factors influencing the adoption of Fin-Tech and is also helpful for the researchers, academician, business owners and policymakers for taking decision-makers about enhancing financial activities and getting more efficient and effective responses from the customers for adopting the financial technologies for their business activities and also generate a valuable business for their organizations.

The slurry consolidation (K0), one of the popular techniques producing specimens resembling field conditions, is usually carried out in large containers owing to large strains incurred during the process. The present studies investigate the influence of aspect ratio and wall friction of the container on the uniformity achieved in the consolidation of the soil specimens experimentally. Parametric studies are also carried out numerically so as to gain further insight into the consolidation behavior due to wall friction and aspect ratio (ratio of diameter-to-height) of the container. It is observed that the uniformity of the specimen is adversely affected by the wall friction especially at lower aspect ratios due to significant loss of applied pressure during transmission. However, even with the substantial wall friction the uniformity could be achieved within a certain zone if the aspect ratio is enhanced. The present studies also attempts to identify these zones and further suggests that any instrumentation for a physical modeling or the sample extrusion be carried out within this zone.

This study examined the potential impacts of entrepreneurial leadership on followers' psychological wellbeing and proactive work behavior through sustainable employability and work uncertainty in a sample of 218 employees employed in SMEs of Pakistan. Hierarchical regression results demonstrated that entrepreneurial leadership was positively connected with sustainable employability and negatively linked with work uncertainty. Sequentially, sustainable employability was positively correlated with proactive work behavior and employees' psychological wellbeing, and work uncertainty was negatively associated with proactive work behavior and employees' psychological wellbeing during the COVID-19 crisis. Furthermore, bootstrapping confirmed the mediation effects of work uncertainty and sustainable employability on proactive work behavior and the psychological wellbeing of employees. Sustainable employability did not mediate the relationship between entrepreneurial leadership and psychological wellbeing. Mediators, sustainable employability, and work uncertainty positively linked employees' psychological wellbeing and proactive work behavior. The results highlighted the significant roles of sustainable employability and work uncertainty and interpreted why entrepreneurial leadership may affect employees' positive behaviors.

This paper focused on human resource issues in a private sector organization. The study adopted a qualitative approach, using Systemic Intervention to identify and develop solutions to tackling human resource issues through the engagement of relevant stakeholders in the organizational operations. Interviews, workshops, and boundary critique were used for data collection. Collected data were sorted for thematic analysis. Critical issues identified in the research process included frequent junior staff turnover challenges, general human resource security, junior staff’s educational qualification, and irregular work schedule. Findings showed that joint participation in the research process enables learning among participants from across the case study organization structure. It also provided a significant platform for the exploration of diverse opinions and perspectives of participants. A reflection on the qualitative methodology showed the usefulness of combining techniques and methods from different methods in addressing complex human resource issues. However, it is noted that the implementation of developed solutions requires continuous evaluation to maintain effectiveness in systemic intervention. The study concluded with the suggestion for further research to use various methods to explore the influence(s) of external factors on internal human resource challenges, especially in the private sector and a developing economy such as Nigeria.

Cryptocurrency could redefine the interplay of Internet-connected world markets by eliminating constraints set by traditional local currencies and exchange rates. It has the potential to revolutionise digital markets through the use of duty-free trading. This study investigates the factors which influence the behavioural intention to use cryptocurrency based on the Technology Acceptance Model 3 (TAM 3) during the COVID-19 (SARS-COV-2) pandemic. Data were collected through a cross-sectional questionnaire from 357 Pakistani business-educated adults, including investors who had a rudimentary understanding of the technology and financial instruments. Partial least square (PLS)-based structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to test the developed theoretical framework based on the Technology acceptance model 3. The PLS model has explained 72.1% of what constitutes the behavioural intention to use cryptocurrency. Surprisingly, risk was not a major consideration. This might be due to the fact that the majority of respondents thought working with cryptocurrency was hazardous. Willingness to handle cryptocurrency risk, on the other hand, might be a stumbling block to acceptance. The most essential aspect of a cryptocurrency's success was the perceived usefulness. Moreover, the moderating role of experience was not substantiated in this study. However, perceived usefulness was identified as a partial mediator of subjective norm and the perceived ease to use. This study contributed to the literature through the application of TAM 3 (an extension of the technology acceptance models) to investigate the fundamental qualities a cryptocurrency should have in order to influence investor's behavioural intention to use it. These findings provide revolutionary insights for the present and future market players for investment planning and for improved cryptocurrencies development.

Workplace deviant behavior (WDB) and workplace ostracism (WO) have emerged as one of the most toxic behaviors that breed self-protection and self-interest in today’s organizations. However, limited evidence is available on the underlying factors, such as organizational conflict (OC), knowledge-sharing behavior (KSB) and emotional intelligence (EI), in explaining the WO-WDB relationship. Hence, the present study aims to introduce and empirically validate a moderated-mediation model of workplace deviant behavior, involving WO, OC, KSB and EI, respectively. Drawing on study data from 250 officials in the higher education public sector institutions in Pakistan, and employing structural equation modeling with partial least squares, the findings revealed a significant positive effect of WO on WDB. Besides the validation of the mediating roles of OC and KSB, the findings also confirmed a significant moderating influence of EI. The study implications provide theoretical and practical insights to better interpret KSB, OI and EI in organizations that can generate effective deterrence towards WO and WDB.

Inspired by the global increase in awareness of corporate social responsibility (CSR), this paper is an attempt to explore the influence of CSR on bank employees’ satisfaction and loyalty and banks’ financial performance. It was assumed there could be differences in the perception of CSR among employees toward the CSR initiatives being undertaken by the banks they work for. Employees’ level of awareness and extent of involvement with various CSR activities could affect their satisfaction and loyalty. This study used regression analysis for hypothesis testing. Its findings reveal that CSR positively affects employee satisfaction and loyalty as well as banks’ financial performance; employee satisfaction positively affects employee loyalty; and employee loyalty positively affects banks’ financial performance. Hence, bank management should focus on CSR from the perspective of employees to contribute to employee satisfaction and loyalty, and ultimately, to enhanced financial performance. Suggestions and inferences for future research and banking sector practices are suggested based on these results.

This study empirically studies the impacts of micro-credit finance on the socio-economic status of small agriculturists in Pakistan. Little research has been conducted in this area in Pakistan. The data was gathered from 693 micro-credit finance participants and non-participants, at a 2 to 3 ratio, through an adapted questionnaire from the 8-clusters out of 12 clusters of 36 districts of Punjab using the cluster sampling technique. A survey was organized to perform the investigation in which two close-ended structured questionnaires were developed to collect data from the small agriculturists who owned less than twelve and a half acres of land. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the results of the study. Various statistical tests, such as EFA, SEM, KMO, ANOVA tests, etc., were used to test the expected hypothesis of the study and to confirm the affinity among variables. This research revealed that micro-credit finance has performed a positive role in developing the socio-economic status of small agriculturists after obtaining the micro-credit finance. The study indicated that micro-credit finance has played a significant role in changing and developing the socio-economic status of the respondents. Participation of small agriculturists enables the poor masses of rural areas to eradicate poverty in rural areas to enhance their living standards and to strengthen their financial conditions. The end results of the study revealed that most small agriculturists were taking benefits from micro-credit lending schemes. They also improved their socio-economic status and mitigated poverty. The findings of the study provide profound insight and should be helpful to regulators, policy makers, managers, microfinance institutions, government authorities, and all other stakeholders.
