Leadership plays a crucial role in the management of international airlines' alliance ground staff operations environment. Leadership that is transformational and proactive can serve to optimize the talents of a diverse and inclusive workforce and have the potential to affect an organization positively. This qualitative study was reinforced with the lens of the transformational leadership theory, as the purpose of this single case study was to explore the role of leadership in a U.S.-based international airline alliance, and their approach to leading ground staff operations, successfully. Managing a diverse workforce is often a challenge, as the aim is to ensure desired and optimal organizational effectiveness and performance, on which organizational sustainability and profitability hinges. The study entailed the collection of data using semistructured interviews in computer-mediated conferencing format with five airline alliance leaders located in the state of Georgia, who held at least 2 years of successful experience in leading a diverse workforce. The analysis using a process of constant comparison and thematic analysis yielded the principal theme of the importance of the proactiveness of leadership, in leveraging a diverse workforce, under the aegis of strategic human resources management, and leadership. A key recommendation is for airline alliance leaders to display astute transformational skills and align diversity, equity, and inclusion policies as a critical corporate human resources strategy. Optimizing employee performance is vital in gaining a competitive advantage in a field where service quality is a key differentiating factor in being superior among equals.

Education is one of the strongest predictors of health. Early termination of education can negatively impact health, shorten life span, and increase stress on the healthcare system. Although improving overall high school graduation rates have been debated and discussed by the Toronto District School Board and the Ministry of Education, there is a paucity of research studies on increased graduation rates as they relate to public health in a Canadian context. The purpose of this phenomenological qualitative study was to explore the perceptions of liaison public health nurses, who worked directly with the Toronto District School Board, regarding influencing students in Toronto, Ontario to complete high school. Bronfenbrenner’s ecological model was the underlying conceptual framework for the study. Purposive sampling was used to select 10 public health nurses who were interviewed regarding their role and involvement in high schools. Data were subjected to triangulation and were analyzed to identify commonalities and trends and patterns. The findings from this study indicated that liaison public health nurses believe that high school dropout out is a public health issue and that collaboration between the Ministry of Education and Public Health is needed to address the issue. The emergent recommendations from the analysis of data indicate the potential for greater to explore the connection between health and school achievements and the expanded role of public health nurses in Canadian high schools. With increased research and resources, improving graduation rates students may be expected.

A well-functioning hospital information system must ensure the production, analysis, dissemination and use of reliable and timely information on health determinants, health system performance and health status. The aim of this study is to contribute to the improvement of information management and, by extension, to strengthen the overall performance of the Makélékélé Base Hospital. We conducted a descriptive cross-sectional study, at the Makélékélé Base Hospital in the first arrondissement of Brazzaville, the political capital of the Republic of Congo. The study took place during the period from 1 July 2020 to 8 February 2021. Authorisation to collect data for the study will be sought from the Hospital's General Management. In total, 55 questionnaires were completed by data management staff in the health information system field. More than 50% of the respondents answered that the same tools were used from year to year, site to site (58.18%) and that data collection was done according to the same methods from year to year, site to site (69.09%). Only 83.64% of the respondents answered that data from all reportable sites are included in the overall data, while 36.36% answered that there are measures in place to ensure data completeness. There were 69.09% of respondents confided the existence of the risk of the data being used for personal or political purposes. In our study, the analysis of the constraints of health information management was mainly related to data quality problems. The quality of health information is poor and does not allow the establishment of an efficient hospital system. The use of health information is insufficient to allow the implementation of an efficient hospital system. Our survey revealed a relatively positive patient satisfaction rate regarding the quality of care, the comfort and cleanliness of the room and the noise in the ward. The two investigations revealed that the "data quality" component had significant shortcomings that should be prioritised in the management of the Hospital Information System. Health information is essential for monitoring progress in improving and maintaining the health of populations and the functioning of the health system.

The Pearson’s correlation coefficients on the relationship between the aggressive behavior, deprivation, well being and relationships between the Inmates of prisons and Waders. The results show that correlation coefficient (0.274**) between aggressive behavior and deprivation is positive and statistically significant at 1% level. This means that deprivation suffered by inmates is one of the key factors that give rise to their aggressive behavior. The results also show that correlation coefficient (-0.096*) between aggressive behavior and Inmates’ well being is negative and statistically significant at 5% level. This means that Inmates’ well being is one of the major factors that reduce to their aggressive behavior. The results also reveal that correlation coefficient (-0.113*) between aggressive behavior and relationships between the Inmates of prisons and Waders is negative and statistically significant at 5% level. This means that existence of cordial relationship between the Inmates and Waders helps significantly in reducing their aggressive behavior. The results show that correlation coefficient (0.584**) between deprivation and Inmates’ well being is positive and statistically significant at 1% level. This means that despite the adequate well fare enjoyed by the Inmates, they still feel demoralized of been deprive of certain rights which may include movement, access to phone, restriction in visitation of their family members etc. The result of correlation coefficient (0.174**) between deprivation and relationships between the Inmates of prisons and Waders is positive and statistically significant at 1% level. by the Inmates encourage cordial relationship between them and the waders.
