Abstract

Recent advancements in natural language generation (NLG) have revolutionized content creation, enabling artificial intelligence (AI) tools to produce coherent and seemingly authentic texts, including scholarly papers. While AI-generated content offers efficiencies in speed and volume, concerns over authenticity, ethical implications, and academic integrity persist. This review explores methods and considerations for identifying AI-generated research papers, emphasizing the need to distinguish between human-authored and AI-generated content to uphold scholarly standards and ensure transparency in research. Key detection techniques include textual analysis, metadata examination, and content evaluation. Ethical concerns regarding AI's role in research are also discussed, underscoring the importance of ongoing research to refine identification methodologies and maintain research integrity.

Abstract

Citation metrics have become pivotal in evaluating academic research and influencing funding, promotions, and institutional prestige. However, the increasing emphasis on these metrics has given rise to unethical practices, notably citation cartels, which artificially inflate citation counts through collusive agreements among researchers or journals. This study investigates the prevalence and impact of citation cartels by analysing citation patterns in recent papers. Using a systematic approach, we examined citation data across five papers to identify patterns of collusion and the extent of citation inflation. The results reveal that Author 1 was cited in every reference across four out of five papers, either as a sole author or co-author, with a direct or indirect responsibility for 100% of the citations. Similarly, Authors 2 and 3 demonstrated substantial influence, with median citation shares of 36% and 35%, respectively. These findings highlight the significant role of key authors in shaping citation distributions and raise concerns about the integrity of citation metrics. The study concludes with recommendations for addressing citation cartels, including implementing detection systems, enhanced peer review processes, and a more balanced approach to evaluating research impact.

Abstract

Organisational inertia continue to influence the effectiveness of healthcare systems globally, contributing to operational inefficiencies, increased workforce pressures, and concerns regarding the sustainability of optimal patient outcomes despite continued reform efforts. While structural interventions are frequently introduced, many fail to produce meaningful change, instead reinforcing existing dysfunctions. Using the Dead Horse Theory as an interpretive lens, this study examines how organisational inertia, leadership avoidance, and systemic denial interact to sustain ineffective practices in healthcare settings. An integrative qualitative literature review was conducted, drawing on peer-reviewed studies sourced from major academic databases. The analysis focused on how organisational inertia, leadership behaviour, workforce dynamics, ethical accountability, and stakeholder engagement interact as interconnected rather than isolated factors. Through thematic and narrative synthesis, the study identified recurring patterns of symbolic reform, leadership avoidance, workforce disengagement, and weakened organisational responsiveness across healthcare contexts. Findings indicate that organisational inertia stabilises outdated routines and limits adaptability, while leadership avoidance reinforces these patterns through symbolic or procedural actions that fail to address underlying problems. Although such approaches may maintain short-term stability, they contribute to long-term consequences including burnout, reduced motivation, weakened team cohesion, and diminished psychological safety. Ethical accountability and stakeholder engagement emerged as key moderating factors that influence whether systems remain stagnant or shift toward adaptive change. The study develops an integrated conceptual framework linking organisational inertia, leadership avoidance, workforce dynamics, ethical accountability, and stakeholder engagement into a unified explanation of healthcare system performance. The study challenges linear interpretations of healthcare reform and highlights the need for adaptive, ethically grounded, and accountable leadership to disrupt entrenched system failure, supporting Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3: Good Health and Well-being and Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth.

Abstract

Background: Insourcing the internal performance of organisational functions has evolved from an operational choice to a strategic lever reflecting organisational culture, values, and long-term objectives. In healthcare, insourcing decisions influence service quality, member satisfaction, and operational efficiency, highlighting the need to align decisions with organisational culture. Objectives: This study investigated how organisational culture shaped insourcing decisions and compared the efficacy of the shared value and multi-sourced models in aligning cultural, strategic, and operational priorities. Methods: A qualitative, multiple case study design examined two Health Insurance companies in South Africa, HealthCare and WellTrust. Data were collected through document analysis of annual reports, strategic plans, and operational guidelines, complemented by secondary sources such as policy documents and industry analyses. Thematic analysis guided the identification of patterns in how organisational culture informed insourcing strategies. Results: HealthyCare, guided by a Shared Value Model, prioritises mission, values, and member-centric outcomes, resulting in high employee engagement and stakeholder satisfaction, with moderate operational efficiency. WellTrust, following a Multi-Sourced Model, emphasises performance metrics and capacity, achieving high operational efficiency but only moderate engagement and slightly lower stakeholder satisfaction. Comparative analysis suggests hybrid approaches, integrating cultural alignment with operational performance metrics, provide a balanced strategy for sustainable and effective insourcing. Conclusions: Organisational culture is critical in shaping insourcing decisions, which affect employee engagement, operational performance, and stakeholder satisfaction. The integration of Shared Value and Multi-Sourced approaches enabled the balance of cultural alignment with operational effectiveness, providing a structured framework to guide strategic, ethical, and sustainable decision-making in healthcare management.

Abstract

Background: Governance and regulatory enforcement in South Africa reveal complex interactions among formal legal frameworks, operational capacity, and informal market practices. While deliberative processes, such as public consultations on the draft Traditional Courts Regulations, demonstrate transparency and inclusivity, interventions in the healthcare sector are often reactive, triggered by crises such as food contamination fatalities and the sale of illegal medicines. This contrast underscores disparities in institutional capacity and sectoral prioritisation.Objectives: This paper investigated regulatory gaps and enforcement challenges in informal medicine markets, with a focus on spaza shops. The focus was on structural, operational, and social factors influencing the circulation of counterfeit, expired, and improperly stored medicines, and explores how governance, public service delivery, and community dynamics interact to affect public health outcomes.Methods: A qualitative case-study approach guided this research, focusing on the analysis of secondary data sources and qualitative literature. Purposive selection of documents and reports included government communications, regulatory guidelines, parliamentary hearing transcripts, media coverage, and peer-reviewed studies, ensuring that the sources provided rich insights into governance, regulatory enforcement, and informal pharmaceutical practices.Findings: Systemic gaps exist between regulatory intent and operational reality. Although legal frameworks restrict the dispensing of scheduled medicines to licensed pharmacies and authorised health professionals, widespread non-compliance persists in township spaza shops.Conclusion: Effective mitigation of counterfeit and illegally sold medicines requires an integrated, multi-dimensional approach that strengthens regulatory oversight, secures supply chains, mobilises community engagement, and leverages technological monitoring. The proposed Integrated Regulatory-Community Framework for Counterfeit Medicines in Spaza Shops (IRCF-CMSS) aligns formal legislation with practical enforcement and social realities, promoting sustained compliance, enhanced public safety, and institutional trust.
