This study examined the relationship between digital presenteeism and employee resilience in oil and gas companies in Nigeria, with employee resilience proxied by adaptability and self-efficacy. The study adopted the cross-sectional survey design. Primary data were generated through a structured questionnaire administered to employees of selected oil and gas companies in Nigeria. The population of the study was 10,714; sample of 386 determined using Taro Yamane 1970 formula however, only data for 327 were completed and usable for data analysis. The reliability of the instrument was achieved by the use of the Cronbach Alpha coefficient with all the items scoring above 0.70. The hypotheses were tested using the Spearman's Rank Order Correlation Coefficient at a 0.05 significance level. Findings revealed a statistically significant and very strong negative relationship between digital presenteeism and both adaptability (ρ = −0.864, p < 0.001) and self-efficacy (ρ = −0.857, p < 0.001) among respondents. The study concludes that digital presenteeism is strongly associated with lower employee resilience, and recommends that oil and gas companies establish clear boundaries around digital availability outside working hours to protect employees' capacity to adapt and their confidence in managing work demands.

Football management has increasingly embraced technological innovations such as data analytics and the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) to improve decision-making, enhance officiating accuracy, and strengthen organizational performance. However, the adoption of these technologies remains uneven across African football due to infrastructural, financial, and technical challenges. This study examined the adoption of data analytics and Video Assistant Referee (VAR) in football management decision-making in African football, with specific focus on data analytics adoption and VAR adoption. A cross-sectional survey research design was adopted for the study. Data were collected from 287 football club managers, coaches, and referees across selected African football organizations using a structured instrument titled Data Analytics, Video Assistant Referee and Football Management Decision-Making Questionnaire (DAVARFMDQ). The data collected were analyzed using multiple regression analysis with the aid of SPSS Version 29 at the 0.05 level of significance. The findings revealed that data analytics adoption and Video Assistant Referee (VAR) adoption each have a significant positive influence on football management decision-making in African football. The study established that the adoption of these technologies enhances evidence-based decision-making, improves tactical planning, strengthens officiating accuracy, promotes transparency, and increases the overall effectiveness of football management. The study concludes that wider adoption of data analytics and VAR is essential for improving football governance and management across Africa. It recommends increased investment in analytical technologies, referee training, and VAR infrastructure to enhance the quality, credibility, and competitiveness of African football.

Culture-loaded word translation is a core issue in interdisciplinary terminology research. Beyond linguistic transfer, it requires reconstruction of cultural connotations. Rooted in national ethos, Chinese culture-loaded terms carry both symbolic and communicative values and risk semantic loss and cultural mismatch in overseas dissemination. This article takes the Chinese “Loong” as a case, reviewing its translation evolution since the 16th century and comparing dragon, loong and Chinese dragon across historical contexts. Drawing on linguistics, cultural studies, translation studies, history and intercultural communication, it explores driving factors, Sino-Western metaphor gaps, discourse power shifts, domestication-foreignization tensions and debates on loong. It concludes that such translations reflect cultural discourse contests rather than mere technical decisions. Translators should avoid binary extremes, balance cultural fidelity and readability, adopt scenario-based strategies and promote terminology standardization for effective Chinese cultural communication.

Background. Trichinella infection is a foodborne zoonosis acquired mainly through undercooked pork. Direct evidence of infective larvae in pigs is scarce in Ghana, where earlier work relied largely on serology. Methods. In a cross-sectional study (April–September 2025), muscle from the tongue, diaphragm and masseter of 100 pigs slaughtered at three facilities in the Kumasi metropolis was pooled (10 g per pig) and examined for larvae by pepsin–HCl artificial digestion followed by stereomicroscopy. Management practices on 25 farms in five source communities were assessed with a semi-structured questionnaire and a direct-observation checklist. Results. Trichinella larvae were not detected in any of the 100 pigs (0/100; exact 95% CI 0–3.6%). The pigs were 62 females and 38 males of five breeds. Of the 25 farms, 23 (92%) used intensive and two (8%) semi-intensive systems; none was free-range. Environmental hygiene was rated best or better on 15 farms, good on nine and poor on one, and 23 farms (92%) reported regular deworming. Conclusions. No larvae were detected in pigs from predominantly confined, peri-urban production in Kumasi. With 100 pigs, the study can exclude only a prevalence above about 3.6%, and individual pigs were not traced to farms, so the husbandry findings are descriptive and do not explain the negative result. Targeted, larger surveillance of free-range pigs, where serological exposure has been reported, is the priority for Ghana.
