CONFIRMATORY FACTOR ANALYSIS OF MANAGEMENT SYSTEM STANDARDS USING FIRST & SECOND-ORDER ANALYSIS Md. M Mia, N. M Zayed, Md. S Miah, Y Gordeyeva, A Klimczuk, et al. Naukovyi Visnyk Natsionalnoho Hirnychoho Universytetu, 2025 Purpose. To assess the role of subjective relevance within management standards, employing first- and second-order confirmatory factor analyses (CFA). To analyze the integration of diverse metrics from sustainability reports to gauge a company’s environmental impact alongside the evolving significance of organizational longevity as a measure of success in the business domain. To establish the efficacy of implementing management standards such as ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 in the process of pursuing sustainability objectives. Methodology. Quantitative research methods were employed, utilizing tools and techniques, including SPSS Statistics and Amos software for data analysis. Statistical data from Bangladesh’s RMG (Ready-Made Garments) industry was processed to conduct CFA. A survey questionnaire was administered to a representative sample of 603 residents in Gazipur, Bangladesh. The CFA analysis evaluated absolute and incremental fits, validating subjective management system norms through first- and second-order internal and external environment satisfaction analyses. Findings. The findings indicate that organizations implementing management standards like ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 demonstrate greater efficiency in pursuing sustainability goals than those without such standards. As confirmed by the CFA analyses, integrating subjective relevance within these standards validates their role in addressing internal and external environmental concerns. Furthermore, the study underscores the evolving landscape of success indicators in the business realm, emphasizing the importance of sustainability and longevity metrics alongside traditional economic measures. Originality. This study is among the first to utilize first- and second-order CFA to evaluate MSS criteria in the Bangladeshi RMG business, filling a void in empirical research on sustainability outcomes in developing markets. Practical value. The results add to the increasing body of research on management criteria, showing that operational efficiencies and environmental benefits result from subjective norms coupled with ISO and OHSAS standards.
Responsible research impact: Ethics for making a difference Eric Allen Jensen, Mark S. Reed, James Daybell, Louise Rutt, Aaron M. Jensen, et al. Open Research Europe, 2025 The need for ethical guidelines that support and empower researchers who aim to enhance the societal impact of research has become critical. Recognizing the growing emphasis on research impact by governments and funding bodies worldwide, this article investigates the often overlooked ethical dimensions of generating and evaluating research impact. We focus on ethical issues and practices that are specific to the process of intentionally working to develop societal impacts from research. We highlight the complexities and ethical dilemmas encountered when researchers engage with non-academic groups, such as policymakers, industries, and local communities. Through a combination of literature review and insights from participatory workshops, the article identifies key issues and offers a new ethical framework for responsible research impact. This framework aims to guide researchers and institutions through the process of limiting potential harm while delivering societal benefits in a way that is realistic and balanced. The aim is to establish ethical practices for engagement and impact, without making the process so onerous that researchers are less likely to undertake such activities. The article concludes with actionable recommendations for policymakers, research funders, research performing organizations, institutional review boards and/or ethics committees, and individual researchers. Making use of such recommendations can foster an ethically responsible approach to research impact across academic disciplines.
Interventions for cognitive frailty: developing a Delphi consensus with multidisciplinary and multisectoral experts Carol A. Holland, Nikolett Dravecz, Susan Broughton, Lynne A. Barker, Fidelia Bature, et al. Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2025 IntroductionThe conjunction of physical frailty and cognitive impairment without dementia is described as Cognitive Frailty (CF). Indications that CF is potentially reversible have led to proposals that risk factors, symptoms or mechanisms of CF would be appropriate targets for interventions for prevention, delay or reversal. However, no study has brought experts together across sectors to determine targets, content or mode of interventions, and most resources on interventions are from the perspective of academic or clinical researchers only. This international Delphi consensus study brings together experts from academic and clinical research, lay people with lived experience of CF, informal carers, and professional care practitioners/clinicians.MethodsThree rounds of Delphi study were held to discern which factors and statements were agreed upon by the whole sample and which generated different views in those with differing expertise. A scoping review and Round 1 (29 participants) were used to gather initial statements. In Round 2, 58 people responded to statements and open text items, comprising 7 lab-based researchers, 27 researchers working with people, 14 people with lived experience or informal family carers, and 10 professional carers/clinicians. Percent agreement and qualitative responses were analyzed to provide a final set of statements which were checked by 38 respondents in Round 3.ResultsAnalysis of Round 2 quantitative data provided 74 statements on which there was at least 70% agreement and qualitative data produced a further 24 statements. These were combined to provide 90 statements for Round 3. There was Consensus for 89 of the statements. A few differences between the groups were observed at both stages.Discussion and conclusionThe consensus for statements associated with CF interventions provides a useful first step in defining health promotion activities and interventions. Given the prevalence and potential disability caused by CF in older populations, the consensus statements represent expert opinion that is inter-sectoral and will inform public health policies to support implementation of evidence-based prevention and intervention plans. This study is an important step toward changing current approaches, by including all stakeholders from the outset. Outcomes can be used to feed into co-creation of interventions for cognitive frailty.
A Historical View of Active Assisted Living Sara Colantonio, Slavisa Aleksic, Jean Calleja Agius, Kenneth P. Camilleri, Anto Čartolovni, et al. Intelligent Systems Reference Library, 2025 Active assisted living (AAL) aims to use innovative technologies to create supportive, inclusive, and empowering applications and environments that enable older, impaired or frail people to live independently and stay active longer in society. This chapter provides an introduction to the main concepts of AAL, provides a brief history of the evolution of such technologies, and gives a functional view of how AAL system architecture can be conceptualized. It then provides a taxonomy of AAL technologies and applications, followed by technological underpinnings of audio- and video- based AAL.
