This study aims to examine the effect of paternal skin-to-skin contact on breastfeeding after cesarean section. Skin-to-skin contact can be used to strengthen breastfeeding in newborns. The study was conducted between April 2023 and August 2023 in the obstetrics clinic of a hospital in a province in eastern Turkey, with a total of 126 postpartum women who had cesarean sections. A socio-demographic characteristics introduction form, a questionnaire on skin-to-skin contact and breastfeeding process, and the LATCH Breastfeeding Assessment Tool were used to collect research data. The time to initiate breastfeeding was determined as 67.54 ± 10.69 minutes in the skin-to-skin contact group and 86.38 ± 35.14 minutes in the control group. The mean LATCH score of postpartum women in the skin-to-skin contact group was 8.13 ± 1.27, while the mean LATCH score of mothers in the control group was 6.13 ± 1.69. Statistically significant differences were found between the groups in terms of time to initiate breastfeeding, postpartum women's first breastfeeding durations, time for the newborn to latch onto the breast, babies' first latch-on behavior, swallowing movement during sucking, behaviors after feeding, supplementary food intake, postpartum LATCH score, and LATCH score at discharge. The study concluded that skin-to-skin contact applied through fathers after cesarean section has a positive effect on breastfeeding behaviors. As healthcare professionals, it is recommended that fathers be informed about skin-to-skin contact during the antenatal period, encouraged for skin-to-skin contact in the postpartum process, and that hospital policy health policies include policies that encourage fathers' active participation in the postpartum process.

Research Question: This study delves into the intricate relationships among internal communication, internal trust, and work engagement within the context of a developing business environment undergoing cultural and economic transition. Motivation: The fundamental research inquiries seek to ascertain the interconnections between the studied phenomena and elucidate the nature of these relationships. Work engagement, identified through previous research and contemporary business practices, emerges as a pivotal force with profound implications for motivation, management, and personal development within organizations. Idea: The introduction sets the stage by emphasizing the study's focus on relationships in a transitioning business environment. Subsequent sections meticulously articulate research objectives, explore the existing literature, pose research questions, and delineate the chosen methodology, elucidating the importance of standardized instruments and the rationale behind the selection of the Serbian organizational context. Results are presented with a focus on the identified correlations, leading to the formulation of two models. The subsequent discussion critically compares these models, offering insights into the implications of trust-determined communication on work engagement. Limitations are candidly acknowledged, underscoring the need for interpretative caution. Data: The research methodology predominantly employs a quantitative approach to unravel the complexities inherent in internal communication, internal trust, and work engagement. The study encompasses a substantial sample size, consisting of 708 respondents representing 16 working organizations in Serbia. Tools: To gauge these phenomena, standardized instruments such as Internal Trust, a shortened version of the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale, and the Internal Communication Scale were employed. The anticipated results unveil robust correlations among the elements under scrutiny. Findings: The findings culminate in the proposition of two models, with structural equation modelling revealing a model where trust determines communication, subsequently influencing work engagement as the more fitting representation. This model presents a nuanced understanding of the intricate dynamics within organizational frameworks. Contribution: Despite acknowledging certain limitations in the study, the research underscores its importance in the quest for the most influential factors contributing to work engagement in organizations. The research serves as a valuable contribution to the broader discourse on organizational behaviuor, shedding light on crucial factors that influence employee engagement in evolving business landscapes.

Višegodišnja elektronička obrada podataka omogućila je pohranu velike količine podataka koja se danas može iskoristiti za poboljšanje procesa u obrazovanju putem algoritama strojnog učenja. Koristeći se podacima iz sustava Moodle za učenje na daljinu, stvoren je model umjetne neuronske mreže s ciljem predviđanja konačnog ishoda studenta na kraju studija na temelju njegovih zaključnih ocjena prve godine studija. Kroz ukupno tri modela umjetne neuronske mreže pokazana je snaga ovog algoritma, gdje su svi modeli ostvarili vrlo nisku pogrešku, a najbolji rezultati postignuti su modelom umjetne neuronske mreže s dva skrivena sloja od devet neurona, čija je apsolutna greška iznosila 0,1920, a kvadratna pogreška 0,0562. Istraživanje pokazuje da su umjetne neuronske mreže vrlo učinkovite u predikciji konačnog ishoda studenata na temelju ocjena s prve godine studija te da takvi modeli imaju potencijal postati pomoćni alat i sredstvo donošenja odluka u obrazovnim institucijama.
