Purpose – to reveal the scientific approach to the regional policy in the field of research, use and increase the recreational potential of the regions of Ukraine, creating an effective mechanism for the development of the recreational system of the region due to an in-depth study of the recreational system potential, the quality of the recreational environment and highlighting its special structure. As a sub-goal of the study was determined the identification of factors affecting the competitiveness of the recreational system of the regions, which will make it possible to clarify the directions of activities to increase the competitiveness of the tourism and recreation sector of the economy of Ukraine. Findings – the paper proposes the mechanism of well-balanced mutual development of humanʼs health and recreational system management. Research limitations – the study addresses the problem of using recreational potential in such a way that, as a result of its use, the least damage is inflicted on the territory and on the population. To determine the direction of development were identified as “sore spots” groups of the recreational system. To solve this problem has been proposed a mechanism for the balanced development of the recreational system, which will allow: 1) to maintain and develop the existing recreational potential; 2) to increase the share of regional profits from the use of recreational potential. Methodology – the methodology and research tools are based on the methods of theoretical generalization, refinement of the conceptual apparatus, logical-structural modelling, scientific argumentation, and comparative analysis. Practical implications – the practical significance lies in the fact that the article reveals the problematic issues of recreation in Ukraine and suggests a mechanism for the management and sustainable development of the countryʼs recreational potential. The use of the proposed mechanism will lead to an increase in the incomes of the regions from the exploitation of the recreational potential and will create the conditions for the preservation of the recreational systems themselves. Originality/Value – the article value lies in the fact that it proposes a mechanism for the balanced development of the recreational system and the person in it; carried out the allocation of recreational management in a special function of the recreational system. The relationship between the development strategies of the recreational system and the assessment of the recreational competitiveness of the region is shown.

Purpose This study aims at investigating the relationship between the quality of working life and career engagement of cancer survivors and the mediating role of the effect of disease and treatment. Design/methodology/approach A cross-sectional study was conducted on 400 cancer survivors in Malaysia. The participants, aged between 18 and 40, were Malaysian citizens undergoing follow-up sessions at the Kuala Lumpur General Hospital and the National Cancer Institute of Malaysia. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation coefficient and regression analysis that implemented Baron and Kenny’s method for mediation were used for analyses. Findings The effect of treatment and disease was found to significantly mediate the relationship between quality of work-life and career engagement of cancer survivors. Research limitations/implications The instrument for this study was a self-reported questionnaire, with participants responding to specific items on a five-point Likert scale under the supervision of the researchers. As results from the survey were subjective in nature, the bias in the participants could not be eliminated completely. This study was also limited to the two main parameters, namely, quality of working life and career engagement and a mediator, namely, effects of the disease and treatment. Moreover, as the survey was conducted in only two hospitals in the Klang Valley area, the results cannot be generalized to other cancer survivors in other regions of Malaysia. Practical implications The results of this study indicated that the mediating role of the effects of disease and treatment on the relationship of the quality of working life subscales with career engagement. Practical implications, cancer survivor consciousness of the effects of disease and treatment is very important and should be addressed and could be notable to improve the quality of working life. Originality/value This study gives valuable insight to managers and practitioners by investigating the relationship between the quality of working life and career engagement and mediates by the effects of disease and treatment. The findings highlight the challenges cancer survivors face on their return to working life. The findings also highlight the need for management to take steps to help cancer survivors cope with career engagement for better work performance.

PurposeMore research is needed to consider residents’ perceptions prior to hosting large-scale events. This paper contributes new insight on residents’ perceptions of placemaking analysed by considering awareness, enthusiasm and participation prior to hosting a large-scale event. Placemaking is becoming increasingly important and this insight can help planners understand how locals perceive change and event planning preparations.Design/methodology/approach454 residents of Rijeka, Croatia completed a survey (seven-point Likert scale) of 17 placemaking principles, asked in three ways: (1) how you feel; (2) how you believe people near you feel and (3) if you feel that planning/preparing for ECoC 2020 has made a difference. The data analysis considers socio-demographics and the significance of awareness, enthusiasm and participation as factors affecting residents’ perceptions of placemaking.FindingsThe study found respondents originally from Rijeka expressed statistically significant higher level of agreement. Where statistically significant differences exist, female respondents expressed statistically significant higher levels of agreement. For six statements, the distribution of results was not similar for all age groups. Awareness and enthusiasm seems to influence placemaking principles to a greater extent than participation in this study, but all have proven to have statistically significant positive impacts on the placemaking principles assessed.Practical implicationsPlanners need to focus on effective promotional activities aimed at awareness and enhance enthusiasm to help increase perceptions of placemaking and increase local quality of life.Originality/valueexplores perceptions of “self” and “how others feel” by assessing principles of placemaking associated with the case of Rijeka. This allows researchers to explore understandings of how people perceive the attitudes of their fellow residents.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between ownership concentration and human capital (HC) disclosure released via LinkedIn. Design/methodology/approach This study uses a quantitative methodology. The sample is composed of 150 European companies. Content analysis was used to examine HC disclosure via LinkedIn. Regression analysis was used to test the hypothesis. Findings The results indicate that ownership concentration negatively influences HC disclosure via LinkedIn, confirming that closely held firms have little motivation to voluntarily release information. Research limitations/implications The main limitation of this study relates to the sample size. Furthermore, this study investigates only the quantity of HC disclosure; it does not consider the quality of this information. Practical implications The typical ownership structure of European firms generates a force that opposes the growing pressure for internationalization and global transparency. This important issue needs to be considered in investor decisions, HC management and reporting and in setting accounting standards. Moreover, the study points out that, despite the potential opportunities provided by LinkedIn to build and enforce relationships with their stakeholders, companies mainly use LinkedIn for recruitment purposes. Originality/value This study contributes to the literature on HC disclosure because it is, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, the first study that exclusively examines HC disclosure by European companies via LinkedIn and because it develops a disclosure index that includes items concerning the stock of knowledge and capabilities of employees in addition to the practices in human resource management.

Abstract Background The occurrence of Anti-TB Drug-induced Liver Injury (ATLI) affects the progress of anti-tuberculosis treatment and the cure rate of tuberculosis. To understand the mechanism and risk factors of ATLI, it is helpful to reduce or avoid the occurrence of liver damage. It is of great significance for the smooth completion of anti-tuberculosis treatment. Methods In this study, 2255 pulmonary tuberculosis patients were included as the research object, and their medical records were reviewed, questionnaire surveys, liver function tests at the end of February (including patients with uncomfortable symptoms during the intensive treatment period) and blood samples were saved. Determine cases of liver damage based on the criteria for liver damage. The genotype was determined by the PCR-LDR method, and the single factor and unconditional Logistic regression methods were used to explore the relationship between genetic polymorphism and ATLI susceptibility. Results Through the screening of related factors affecting ATLI, this study found that ATLI may be related to gender, year and age is related to body weight; there is an association between the genetic polymorphism site CYP2C9 *2 and ATLI, and the best association model is a dominant inheritance model. Conclusions In-depth discussion of the genetic nature of ATLI is of great practical significance and practicality for preventing the occurrence of liver damage in patients with tuberculosis in our region, reducing the damage to the liver by anti-tuberculosis drugs, and formulating individualized chemotherapy regimens to avoid treatment failure due to liver damage.
