“…One key antecedent to employee turnover is stress Huang et al, 2018), a critical issue that all organizations have to deal with. Job stress occurs when there is an imbalance between job requirements and a worker's ability to cope (Sewwandi & Perera, 2016), a mismatch between employees' capabilities and job demands (Garg, 2010) or an incident or an expected incident within the workplace which is likely to be a threat to employees (Rangrez et al, 2022). The literature shows that, occupational stress influences employees' job satisfaction and organisational commitment, all are major antecedents to employee turnover (Mosadeghrad, 2013).…”

This study extends both Social Exchange Theory and the Job Demands –Resources model by examining the connection between psychological contract breach, job stress and employee engagement in relation to the role inclusive leadership plays. Using a quantitative approach, data was gathered from two hundred and two (202) respondents, selected using convenience sampling technique. Data gathered was analysed using SPSS version 26 and SmartPLS 4. Results showed that Job Stress had a negative statistically significant impact on Inclusive Leadership Employee Engagement, Innovative Output and Turnover Intent. Inclusive Leadership Psychological Contract Breach had a positive significant relationship with Innovative Output but a negative relationship with Job Stress. The study also found out that Job Stress mediates the relationship between Inclusive Leadership Psychological Contract Breach and Inclusive Leadership Employee Engagement. The study contributes to clarifying and extend the social exchange theory (SET) by unravelling how the inclusive leader operates on respect, recognition, responsiveness and responsibility, in the reciprocal relationship between himself and their subordinates. Additionally, the study identifies the relationship between psychological contract breach, job stress and employee engagement in a developing country after the COVID-19 pandemic.

“…In orthopedic surgery, the microstructure of the implant surface is a crucial factor determining the long-term stability of osseointegrated implants. Currently, the usage of implant with a rough surface has been proved to be effective for improving the stable integration between the surgically placed implants and bone tissue. − Compared to a smooth surface, the implants with microroughness structure can provide more space for cell adhesion and increase the bone anchorage, thereby reinforcing the biomechanical interlocking between bone and implants. , The implants with different microroughness levels on their surfaces have been applied in clinical treatment and preclinical studies. Some reports suggested that a surface with higher roughness ensured a higher surface area and in this way a relatively larger bone to implant contact area, which enhanced osteoconductivity and osteogenesis, and thereby improved osseointegration .…”

The clinical success of orthopedic implants is closely related to their integration in the bone tissue promoted by rough device surfaces. The biological response of precursor cells to their artificial microenvironments plays a critical role in this process. In this study, we elucidated the relation between cell instructivity and surface microstructure of polycarbonate (PC)based model substrates. The rough surface structure (hPC) with an average peak spacing (Sm) similar to the trabecular spacing of trabecular bone improved osteogenic differentiation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs), as compared to the smooth surface (sPC) and the surface with a moderate Sm value (mPC). The hPC substrate promoted the cell adhesion and assembling of F-actin and enhanced cell contractile force by upregulating phosphorylated myosin light chain (pMLC) expression. The increased cell contractile force led to YAP nuclear translocation and the elongation of cell nuclei, presenting higher levels of active form of Lamin A/C. The nuclear deformation alternated the histone modification profile, particularly the decrease of H3K27me3 and increase of H3K9ac on the promoter region of osteogenesis related genes (ALPL, RUNX2, and OCN). Mechanism study using inhibitors and siRNAs elucidated the role of YAP, integrin, F-actin, myosin, and nuclear membrane proteins in such a regulatory process of surface topography on stem cell fate. These mechanistical insights on the epigenetic level give a new perspective in understanding of the interaction of substrate and stem cells as well as provide valuable criteria for designing bioinstructive orthopedic implants.

A unique phenomenon was observed in the neurodiagnostic lab of Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences Rohtak, Haryana, India during the harvesting season of wheat crop, where a few patients came with footdrop giving similar type of history that they were working in the fields in squatting position for harvesting continously for 5-8 hours per day since last 10-20 days without taking a break of more than half an hour. A total of twelve such farmers were examined. Nerve conduction studies were done by using equipment Recorders and Medicare Systems-Electromyography EP Mark-II Chandigarh. Out of these twelve farmers, ten were having footdrop on right side, while two were having on the left side confirmed by neurological examination. Nerve conduction studies showed reduced motor nerve conduction velocity and amplitude of peroneal nerve on affected side, while latency was increased on that side. By this study, it was concluded that peroneal neuropathy is the most common cause of footdrop in farmers doing harvesting manually.
