PurposeDespite the growing importance of workplace spirituality, organisations have been reluctant to integrate spirituality into their workplaces; this paper discusses how to integrate spirituality into the workplace.Design/methodology/approachThis is a theoretical paper that builds its arguments on the synthesis of workplace spirituality and contemporary management paradigms.FindingsThe study argues that workplace spirituality is an extremely important driving force for the sustainable and healthy growth of any organisation; however, infusing workplace spirituality into companies in the industrial and digital eras would be a futile effort, as industrial organisations are built on an ethos highly incongruent with spiritual principles. Therefore, in the post-digital era, spirituality-driven organisations (SDOs) will emerge, marking the beginning of a true “spiritual paradigm” for business and human society at large. The study also elaborates on the characteristics of the post-digital era and the nature of SDOs.Originality/valueWorkplace spirituality has been a research topic for years but has never gained sufficient momentum. The Covid-19 global pandemic has made workplace spirituality a more pertinent issue on corporate agendas. Therefore, this paper provides the theoretical foundation to embed workplace spirituality in contemporary management thoughts and practices.

Viola x wittrockiana L. is an ornamental plant in high demand in horticulture. It is becoming more critical for greenhouse growers to focus on sustainable production to enhance plant quality while reducing negative environmental impacts. Therefore, assessing the effect of recycled phosphorous (P) and nitrogen (N) sources on the growth of viola could become very useful for producers in terms of sustainability. This experiment analysed the optimal fertiliser composition to grow viola using recovered fertilisers in a greenhouse trial under controlled conditions. Well-rooted viola plugs were grown in a standard peat-based growing medium. Using recycled sources of P and N as struvite and potassium struvite, ammonium sulphate, and ammonium nitrate, 14 fertiliser blends were prepared, tested, and compared with the slow-release commercial fertiliser Osmocote. Plants treated with ammonium nitrate showed healthy growth and optimal plant N concentrations. In contrast, most blends using the recovered ammonium sulphate resulted in an unacceptable increase of ammonium concentrations in the growing medium. The combination of ammonium sulphate and potassium sulphate caused an increase in the electrical conductivity in the growing medium, negatively affecting plant growth. However, blend 13 containing struvite, ammonium sulphate and potassium struvite expressed the best chemical composition with non-significant differences in the biomass from the positive controls, as it reduced the amount of potassium sulphate needed. Our results indicate that fertiliser blends containing P as struvite, N as ammonium nitrate or reduced amount of ammonium sulphate, and K as potassium struvite can substitute the use of mineral fertiliser blends to grow ornamental plant species as viola.

Self-regulation, self-efficacy, and psychological well-being are essential requirements in the academic environment. Psychological well-being is indispensable for students’ emotional balance and healthy growth and development. The recent study investigated the relationship between self-regulation, self-efficacy, and psychological well-being among Kurdish students at Salahaddin University. The objectives of the research are as follows: (1) to examine the prevalence level of self-regulation, self-efficacy, and psychological well-being among the Salahaddin University undergraduate students; (2) to examine the relationship of self-regulation and self-efficacy with psychological well-being among the Salahaddin University undergraduate students; and (3) to examine the effect of self-regulation and self-efficacy on psychological well-being among the Salahaddin University undergraduate students. The study employed quota sampling, and there were 407 respondents selected for it. Analysis techniques were presented in descriptive, Pearson Correlation, and Multiple Regression Analysis (MRA). The research shows a low level of self-regulation and self-efficacy among the Salahaddin University undergraduate students. However, psychological well-being is high. The study further demonstrates a positive and statistically significant relationship between self-regulation, self-efficacy, and psychological well-being among the Salahaddin University undergraduate students. Finally, the study showed that only self-regulation significantly affected psychological well-being among the Salahaddin University undergraduate students.

This work  aims to design and develop a model that detects and classifies pregnancy health status. Ultrasound is one of the most prevalent developments in clinical imaging, as it enables a doctor to evaluate, analyze and treat diseases. Most complications from pregnancy lead to serious problems that restrict healthy growth, causing weakness or death. In this work, an image processing system was developed to recognize the  health during pregnancy and classify it for all stages of its development. The technique in deep learning has been implemented, as CNN (Resnet50) image recognition model was applied to detect and classify fetal health status from ultrasound images. The proposed model contributed to providing an integrated solution for each pregnancy period that works to identify all stages of fetal development, starting from the pre-pregnancy stage (here it is known about the suitability of the uterus for pregnancy, the size of the ovum, and its ability to form the fetus) and up to the stage of birth, through training, verification and testing using the cross-verification technique that five folds of the diagnostic rudder were used under the patterns that distinguish each stage from the other and to verify that it is sound or unsound in the concerning stage. This study enhanced diagnostic accuracy by using transfer learning and novel accessory images that were not trained as feedback. The model achieved an accuracy of 96.5% in detecting the fetus and classifying it into any of the stages that were divided according to the features that appear from one stage to the next to eleven categories.

Introduction: Human milk is the only recommended and complete food for newborn. The benefits of breast feeding are incalculable. It is the unique food for the healthy growth and development of infants. Positioning of the baby is very important while feeding. Correct positioning is crucial for effective breast feeding. This Study was undertaken to compare the breastfeeding self-efficacy among postnatal mother with cradle and football position. Methodology: A quasi experimental post-test only design was adopted to study the breastfeeding self-efficacy among postnatal mothers with cradle and football position. 87 postnatal mothers were enrolled on the first postnatal day using convenience sampling. The subjects were assisted in feeding their newborns in cradle hold position during morning feeds and to adopt football position during nursing in the afternoon time. This pattern of feeding was continued for three days and breastfeeding self-efficacy was assessed on the third day for both positions using breastfeeding self-efficacy scale. Data obtained were analyzed using SPSS Version 20. Result: The mean and median for breastfeeding self-efficacy for cradle position were 54.69 ±4.61and 56 respectively which were found higher than the mean (31.69±3.29) and median (31) for football position. The difference observed in the breastfeeding self-efficacy was found statistically significant (p<0.001) Conclusion: Cradle hold position was found to be effective in terms of breastfeeding self efficacy as compared to football position.

Background: Dendrobiums are most popular high value cut flowers which require special attention during cultivation. In Assam, Dendrobium orchids are normally grown under iron frame shade net houses which are quite vulnerable to cold injury during extreme winter period and heavy rain during monsoon period. Further, the existing structures are very costly which is not affordable by small and marginal farmers of Assam. Keeping in view the current study was aimed to evaluate a suitable low cost protected structure for commercial cultivation of Dendrobium cv. Sonia under Assam condition. Methods: An experiment was conducted in the Horticulture Experimental Farm, Assam Agricultural University, Jorhat, during 2018-2019 which was laid out in factorial completely randomized design with 10 treatment combinations replicated five times. The first factors comprised 5 numbers of low cost protected structures viz., G1, G2, G3, G4 and G5. The second factors comprised T1-1 tier and T2-2 tiers. Result: The results revealed that among the protected structures, healthy growth and better quality flowers were obtained under G1 (Bamboo frame structure covered with fixed 200 micron UV film with top ventilated and 50% agro shade net as ceiling) protected structure followed by G4. Between the tiers, T2 was found to be superior in respect of the growth characters as well as most of the flower characters. So, this treatment combination is merits consideration for commercial growers of Assam to bring about timely and quality flower production of Dendrobium cv. Sonia.
