MITIGATION OF DIAGNOSTIC UNCERTAINTY IN PSYCHIATRY AND MENTAL HEALTH IN PRIMARY CARE: A SCOPING REVIEW
Get PDFOBJECTIVE: To map and analyze recent scientific evidence on the mitigation of diagnostic uncertainty in psychiatry as a core element of clinical decision-making in primary mental health care, identifying diagnostic strategies, care practices, and organizational approaches. METHODS: Scoping review conducted between December 2025 and January 2026, following Joanna Briggs Institute recommendations and reported according to PRISMA-ScR. The research question was structured using the PCC framework. Studies published in the last five years, in any language, addressing diagnostic uncertainty in primary mental health care were included. Searches were performed in PubMed, Medline, Scopus, Embase, and Cochrane Library, with complementary searches in Google Scholar. Data selection and extraction were performed independently by two reviewers. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: Twelve studies were included. Findings indicate that mitigating diagnostic uncertainty relies on integrating diagnostic tools, collaborative and measurement-based care practices, and organizational strategies. Care practices predominated, while organizational interventions were less frequently addressed, highlighting important gaps. CONCLUSION: Reducing diagnostic uncertainty in primary mental health care requires sustained, integrated strategies combining longitudinal follow-up, structured communication, standardized assessment tools, and collaborative care models to improve clinical decision-making and diagnostic safety

LITERATURE AND SUSTAINABILITY IN BUKET UZUNER’S NATURE TETRALOGY: AN ECOCRITICAL ANALYSIS
Get PDFThis study examines Buket Uzuner’s novels, Su (Water), Toprak (Earth), Hava (Air), and Ateş (Fire), which are fictionalised under the title, ‘Uyumsuz Defne Kaman’ın Maceraları (The Adventures of Incompatible Defne Kaman)’, within the framework of sustainability and ecocriticism. The manuscript aims to demonstrate that the four novels do not simply use the environmental crisis as a background element; rather, they transform it into a field of conflict and debate with ethical, political, and pedagogical dimensions. The study employs a combination of text-centred close reading, thematic content analysis, and critical discourse analysis within the qualitative research paradigm. Themes related to sustainability were identified under the headings of water management, energy regimes, ecological justice, cultural heritage, migration, and risk society. These themes were systematically coded throughout the four novels and evaluated through inter-novel comparison. The findings show that the tetralogy operates on three fundamental levels. First, the text establishes narrative strategies that treat nature as a value domain and an active entity, thereby critically questioning the anthropocentric perspective. Second, the tetralogy connects ecofeminist sensibility with intergenerational transmission, cultural memory, and everyday life practices, thus creating a functional ground for ethical learning and awareness. Third, the novels explicitly articulate the political and economic determinants of environmental problems by employing institutional critique and dystopian or ironic narrative elements. The study also exhibits that the portrayal of sustainability in the novel enables readers to internalize environmental issues beyond the level of knowledge, through their emotional involvement and ethical awareness
AN EXAMINATION OF PRE-SERVICE TEACHERS’ SATISFACTION WITH THEIR FACULTY OF EDUCATION
No full textThe aim of this study is to examine pre-service teachers’ satisfaction with their faculty of education. The study employed a qualitative case study design, and the participants consisted of 88 pre-service teachers selected through typical case sampling. Data were collected using a semi-structured interview form and analyzed through content analysis. The findings revealed that pre-service teachers were generally dissatisfied with the content, scope, and variety of compulsory and elective courses. Although faculty members were perceived as strong in subject-matter and general cultural knowledge, they were considered to need improvement in professional competencies, assessment practices, and educational management. Communication skills and interactions with faculty members were evaluated positively overall; however, variations were reported regarding their quality and consistency. Finally, pre-service teachers expressed low satisfaction with the academic, social, technological, cultural, and supportive opportunities provided by their faculty.O objetivo deste estudo é examinar a satisfação dos professores em formação com a sua faculdade de educação.

THE INFLUENCE OF OWNERSHIP STRUCTURE ON FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OF GASOLINE FIRMS
No full textThe purpose of this research is to investigate the impact of Foreign Ownership (FO), Organizational Ownership (IO), Internal Ownership (MO), Ownership Concentration (OC), and State-Owned (SO) on financial performance, measured by return on assets (ROA), of gasoline enterprises on the Vietnamese stock market. The research sample consists of 20 listed gasoline firms observed over the period 2021–2024, employing a combination of qualitative and quantitative research methods. A regression model is developed to examine the relationships between the explanatory variables and ROA, while ensuring the validity of key linear regression assumptions. The empirical results reveal that no effect of organizational ownership (IO) on ROA was found; no effect of foreign ownership (FO) on ROA was found; internal ownership (MO) had a negative effect with a coefficient of -.0818785; ownership concentration (OC) had a positive effect with a coefficient of .0432445; and state-owned (SO) had a negative effect with a coefficient of -.0423326. The findings provide valuable empirical evidence for corporate managers, investors, and policymakers in designing financial strategies and improving the business performance of gasoline enterprises in Vietnam
CARBON RISK AND CORPORATE FINANCIAL STABILITY: EVIDENCE FROM AN EMERGING MARKET
No full textThis study examines how carbon transition risk affects corporate financial stability in Indonesia, using a multi-theoretical lens grounded in Stakeholder, Agency, and Legitimacy theories. Indonesia provides a distinctive setting where many corporate strategies lag behind emerging national policies, yet firms face increasingly stringent expectations from global markets. Using 932 firm-year observations from non-financial listed companies (2021–2024), the study applies panel data regression to test the link between carbon exposure and financial stability. The results show a significant negative relationship: high-emitting firms experience a “legitimacy gap” and are penalized by financial stakeholders. Consistent with transition risk mechanisms, investors and lenders appear to treat emissions as a proxy for future liabilities, effectively importing global carbon-pricing pressure before domestic regulations are fully enforced. From an Agency Theory perspective, this indicates a governance failure—management’s inability to align short-term operations with long-term decarbonization—creating strategic vulnerabilities that weaken solvency. The study contributes by confirming that carbon exposure is a material financial risk in an emerging economy, driven by the mismatch between corporate readiness and global transition demands. It also frames decarbonization as a board-level priority to preserve capital access and supports mandatory climate disclosures to standardize risk assessment

MULTIMODAL KNOWLEDGE GRAPH OF CHINESE TRADITIONAL CRAFTS AND INTELLIGENT TEACHING RESOURCE LIBRARY
No full textChinese traditional crafts, a precious part of Chinese cultural heritage, face severe inheritance and teaching challenges in digital transformation: fragmented knowledge, scarce intelligent teaching resources, and backward teaching modes. To address these issues, this study constructs a multimodal knowledge graph (integrating text, image, audio, video) of Chinese traditional crafts and develops a matching intelligent teaching resource library, adopting qualitative and quantitative methods. Results show the knowledge graph effectively integrates scattered craft knowledge, while the resource library makes up for traditional teaching resource shortages and improves teaching efficiency. This study promotes innovative craft inheritance and provides a new technical path for integrating intelligent education with traditional cultural teaching
LA INVESTIGACIÓN FORMATIVA. UN CAMINO HACIA EL FORTALECIMIENTO DE LA INVESTIGACIÓN EN LA DOCENCIA UNIVERSITARIA
No full textEste estudio analizó cómo la investigación formativa fortalece las habilidades investigativas en 27 docentes de una universidad ecuatoriana durante el 2025. La problemática se centra en el bajo rendimiento científico del país (1.12% en Latinoamérica) y la escasa integración de pedagogías activas en el aula. Bajo un enfoque cuantitativo y diseño preexperimental, se aplicó un plan de intervención basado en el constructivismo y el “aprender haciendo” mediante quince sesiones de talleres y asesorías. Los resultados comparativos entre el pretest y postest revelaron una mejora significativa: el nivel bajo de habilidades investigativas se redujo del 48.2% al 3.7%, mientras que el nivel alto ascendió del 14.8% al 44.4%. Se concluye que la investigación formativa es una estrategia eficaz para robustecer la cultura científica, optimizar el uso de soporte tecnológico y mejorar el diseño estructural de proyectos académicos, cerrando brechas en la formación docente y promoviendo el pensamiento crítico
HOW CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY, ABSORPTIVE CAPACITY AND SUPPLY CHAIN COLLABORATION SHAPE FIRM PERFORMANCE: EVIDENCE FROM FREIGHT FORWARDING FIRMS IN HO CHI MINH CITY, VIETNAM
No full textPurpose: Based on Resource-Based View (RBV), Dynamic Capabilities Theory (DCT) and Stakeholder Theory (ST), this study examines how Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is transformed into firm performance (FP) through organizational mechanisms and capabilities in the context of freight forwarding firms in Ho Chi Minh City. CSR is conceptualized according to stakeholder groups, including: CSR to social and non-social stakeholders (CSRSS), customers (CSRC), employees (CSRE) and government (CSRG). The study simultaneously evaluates the roles of Green Human Resource Management (GHRM), Absorptive Capacity (AC), Supply Chain Collaboration (SCC) and Innovation Capability (IC) in the value creation mechanism. Methodology: Cross sectional survey data from 603 freight forwarding firms were analyzed using covariance based structural equation modeling (CB-SEM) and bootstrapping to test for mediating effects. Findings: Multidimensional CSR has a direct positive impact on FP, but only at a moderate level (β ≈ 0.098–0.114), while value is primarily formed through internal transformation mechanisms. CSRE is the strongest antecedent of GHRM (β = 0.357). GHRM is the central link, directly impacting FP (β = 0.157) and promoting IC (β = 0.286). At the same time, AC and SCC primarily enhance FP through IC (AC → IC → FP; SCC → IC → FP). The model achieved a good fit (CMIN/df = 1.898; CFI = 0.951; TLI = 0.944; RMSEA = 0.039) and explained 31.7% of the variance in FP (R² = 0.317). Contributions: This research clarifies CSR as an intangible asset. It shows that CSR creates value when it\u27s integrated through micro-level processes, like GHRM, and dynamic capabilities, such as AC, SCC and IC. The study also provides real-world evidence from the logistics sector in a developing economy
