Organizational culture and affective commitment to e-learning' changes during COVID-19 pandemic: The underlying effects of readiness for change.

Higher education institutions (HEIs) have been embracing digital transformation for years, but the disruptive influence of the global COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated it. Despite the importance of organizational culture (OC) for the successful delivery of e-learning, empirical studies looking at its impact on academics' readiness and affective commitment to e-learning-induced changes are scant. This study unveils the underlying impacts of multiple employee readiness for change (ERFC) dimensions in the OC-employee affective commitment to change (EACC) relationship.

Do precarious female employment and political autonomy affect the under-5 mortality rate? Evidence from 166 countries.

The United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were designed to benefit the globalized world by safeguarding economic and environmental resources necessary for quality health and well-being and moderate growth and development. The study focused specifically on SDG-3 (good health and well-being), SDG-5 (gender equality), and SDG-8 (decent work and economic growth) to identify the most significant influencing factors that can affect the under-5 mortality rate in a large cross-section of 166 countries. The research used three different regression apparatuses to produce consistent and unbiased estimates: cross-sectional, robust least squares, and quantile regression approaches.

Determining the level of essential elements in patients with Ewing Sarcoma: A correlation.

Background: Metal ion aberrant metabolism is essential for health and disease, and its research has sparked a lot of interest. This study aims to compare the critical mineral resources-magnesium (Mg), sodium (Na), calcium (Ca) and potassium (K)-in biological materials (scalp hair, blood, and serum) of 87 Ewing Sarcoma (ES) hypertensive men and women, age range 31-60 years, in an urban area, with 62 nonhypertensive subjects from the same age range and living area.

Methods: An atomic-absorption spectrophotometer was used after microwave-induced acid digestion to determine elemental concentrations.

Evaluating race-to-the-top/bottom hypothesis in high-income countries: controlling emissions cap trading, inbound FDI, renewable energy demand, and trade openness.

The massive rise in the world's average temperature has created major economic and environmental issues that must be addressed by strict environmental legislation. Carbon pricing is seen as a sustainable instrument capable of assisting in the reduction of negative environmental externalities associated with global carbon emissions. The race-to-the-bottom (RTB) hypothesis describes a competitive environment in which economies sacrifice environmental quality standards to undercut competitors, thus undermining the ecological sustainability objective.
