Biometrical Portfolio Approaches Treating risk in MIS primarily in terms of probability scoring methods. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to analyze the application of neutrosophic, a more sophisticated multi-valued logic that marries truthiness, falsity and indeterminacy, to devise enhanced risk management approaches for use in Management Information Systems (MIS). We showcase its effectiveness through case studies in project investment, credit scoring and supply chain disruptions. Neutrosophic Logic helps mitigate some drivers' institutional uncertainties through the assignment of various degrees of membership, revealing latent risks while leading into more advanced risk profiling and guiding the principle of flexible mitigation strategies. We explore the pros and cons of such an approach their merits to this review being maximizing the responsiveness of systems to current MIS risk approaches vulnerabilities and fostering more resilient risk management operationalization of MIS.

Climate change requires managers to bolster long-term resilience of fisheries and concurrently improve short-term responsiveness of management systems to prevailing ecological conditions, all while avoiding unintended harm to stocks in a highly uncertain context. There has been substantial effort dedicated to developing the scientific information and tools needed to inform climate-ready fisheries, yet implementation of these approaches has been limited in the United States management system. Meanwhile, climate impacts on fisheries are already occurring, making fish and fishing communities highly vulnerable to sudden, and often detrimental, changes. There is a need to accelerate adaptation efforts, and near-term action is critical even without the full complement of information and tools in hand. Here, existing climate-ready approaches were compiled and synthesized to offer a comprehensive and structured perspective on priority actions that can be taken in the next 1-2 years to increase the resilience and adaptability of fish stocks and communities that rely on them. From the review there are three main findings: 1) 45% of the management actions can be implemented in this short timeframe, 2) Nearly all actions identified can be implemented in the current fishery and regulatory framework, and 3) While new approaches are needed, managers should proceed with caution to avoid maladaptation and choose a no- or low- maladaptation risk approach wherever possible.

This article explores the integration of modern information technologies, such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and automated water meter devices, into daily water distribution practices. By leveraging these advanced tools, agricultural managers can significantly enhance their operational decision-making processes, especially in response to dynamic changes in irrigation circuit conditions. The implementation of GIS allows for detailed spatial analysis and visualization of water resources, while automated water meters provide real-time data on water consumption and availability. This combination not only improves resource management but also facilitates timely adjustments based on various factors, including water availability and weather parameters. As conditions change, such as rainfall or temperature fluctuations, operators are better equipped to make informed decisions that optimize water use and minimize waste. Ultimately, the incorporation of these technologies represents a transformative shift towards smarter irrigation practices, ensuring sustainable water distribution and improved agricultural productivity in an era of increasing environmental challenges.

The study aimed to find the extent of applying revenue management (RM) practices in star-rated hotels in Kenya. Specifically, the study sought to determine RM policies and implementation, application of RM techniques, and the use of RM systems. The study used a quantitative approach and adopted a cross-sectional survey research design. The study targeted 225 revenue managers from all-star-rated hotels in Kenya. The findings revealed that RM is a practice in star-rated hotels, even though not in all hotels. Hotels reported having RM policy and implementation taking place. There was an adoption of RM techniques. A dynamic RM team and the presence of social media integration with RM were identified. The findings revealed that by large, starrated hotels interact with RM systems and sub-systems on the use of RM systems. Some hotels use either one or a combination of two systems. Furthermost, hotels were found to have automated their revenue collection. It was also revealed that they have adopted integrated RM soft-wares. The hotels were found to have meaningful RM data and information, RM pricing devices, and non-pricing devices. In comparison, information reveals a slightly above average presence of RM application in hotels in Kenya. The empirical evidence presented in this paper reveals that some hotels have not entrenched RM applications in terms of policies and implementation, RM tools and techniques, and their RM systems are lacking. The paper proposes that for full realization and maximization benefits associated with RM practices like predicting the growth of hotels, reducing operational costs, improving yields, and generating revenue, the industry should fully embrace RM applications.

Feather pecking (FP) is a significant issue in laying hens, which impacts societal acceptance of poultry farming, farm productivity, and bird welfare. Environmental enrichment—modifications of the environment to stimulate biological functioning and psychological well-being of animals—is one management strategy farmers can use to mitigate FP. However, inconsistent results of environmental enrichment are reported across studies questioning its value. A meta-analysis was used to determine the effect of environmental enrichment on FP and feather damage (FD) in laying hens. A systematic review of published literature from 4 databases resulted in 23 publications that met inclusion criteria. Feather pecking and FD outcomes were standardized between studies using different scoring systems. Driving variables included the presence of enrichment, production period when the enrichment started, housing type, beak trimming, bird strain, and age of the birds when FP and FD was measured. Considering the experiment as a random effect, linear mixed model analysis was used in a 2-step approach, whereby variables with a P < 0.30 in univariate analysis were included within the subsequent multivariate analysis. Variables with P < 0.05 in the multivariate analysis were retained in the final models. Model selection and evaluation were based on corrected Akaike information criteria, the root mean square prediction errors, and concordance correlation coefficients. A higher frequency of FP was observed in flocks lacking enrichment (P < 0.001), with increased age (P = 0.001), and in cage housing systems (P = 0.002). Similarly, FD increased in flocks lacking enrichment (P = 0.018), with increased age (P < 0.001), in the absence of beak trimming (P = 0.001) and in cage housing systems (P = 0.042). This meta-analysis confirmed the effectiveness of environmental enrichment in reducing FP and FD. Nevertheless, the modest ability of enrichment to dampen FD (−0.14 ± 0.06, 1-4 scale) suggests that other management strategies must be implemented in conjunction with environmental enrichment to successfully manage FP and resulting FD.

Constantly exposing individuals to high levels of stress can have a lot of health consequences. This is mainly caused by an individual not being correctly prepared, or due to the lack of appropriate support or skills required, in order to cope with requests or demands. This leads to growing problems not being solved soon enough, and the person ends up in a state of high emotional tension. All internal bodily systems become exhausted, which can result in illness and diseases. Due to problems coping with difficult or new tasks at work, self-esteem is lowered, which can adversely affect both the employee and the employer, which in turn affects the entire workplace. For that reason, the aim of this article is to communicate the research results of the professional burnout phenomenon, based on the analysis of selected literature concerning the subject.
