Book Part The Dark Side of Proactive Behaviors and Blind Spot Management(Springer Science+Business Media, 2025) Uwizeye, J.; Tuzlukaya, S.E.; Asbas, C.Proactive behavior, which should be anticipatory and agentic, can be defined as actions focused on certain behaviors aimed at improving job performance, career success, and employee well-being. Even if organizational citizenship behaviors have been frequently characterized as proactive behaviors, this is not true under every condition, as they may be either reactive or passive. Although proactive behavior among employees has been widely studied because of the importance that organizations place on improving performance and effectiveness, the potential and possible negative outcomes of such behavior have often been ignored. Examining and discovering the potential negative implications of proactive behaviors and formulating strategies to manage blind spots are vital for developing a general understanding of proactive behaviors for both employees and firms. The intention of this study is to conduct a literature review on proactive behaviors by focusing on the dark side and blind spots of proactive behaviors. This chapter also explains various forms of proactive behaviors and theories that can effectively describe the negative outcomes of such behaviors and discusses the detrimental effects of proactive behaviors on both employees and organizations. © 2025 The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.Book Part Developing Proactive Behavior in the Context of Conflict Management(Springer Science+Business Media, 2025) Tosun, B.; Khan, M.Conflict is a pervasive and complex aspect of organizational life that can significantly impact employee morale, productivity, and the work environment. As managers spend a significant portion of their time dealing with routine complaints, hiring and retrenchment decisions, and the pressures imposed by a fast-paced, highly competitive marketplace, it is crucial to develop proactive behavior to identify and resolve conflicts before they escalate. While conflict has been studied primarily in the fields of business, sociology, and psychology, the definition of conflict remains elusive, given its wide range of concepts. This study seeks to shed light on the multifaceted nature of conflict and the role of proactive behavior in preventing and managing conflicts. The study evaluated the precursors of proactivity in terms of personality and behavior, different types of conflict, conflict management, and resolution approaches, and the potential negative consequences of excessive proactivity without sufficient situational judgement effectiveness. Ultimately, the article provides valuable insights into the benefits and potential drawbacks of proactive behavior in preventing and managing conflicts in the workplace. © 2025 The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.Book Part Applying Asymmetric Theory to Optimise Instructional, Assessment, and Administrative Designs of Intensive English Programmes(Springer Science+Business Media, 2025) Sahin, A.Asymmetric Theory emphasizes optimisation, efficiency, and economy by harnessing the transformative power of asymmetry. It offers practical and functional solutions to some complex daily and scientific problems through the application of multilayered asymmetric thinking. The process begins with the careful identification of the most dominant factors influencing the success of the solutions to the problems, ultimately leading to the creation of a main key to successand sub keys to success attached to it. The key tosuccess serves as a guide for its creator as it highlights which factors should be controlled and which should be prioritised over the others. As a result, Asymmetric Theory introduces a structured strategy-oriented approach to problem-solving. This chapter begins by highlighting the importance of Intensive English Programmes (IEPs) for English-medium universities. Then, it introduces the core principles of Asymmetric Theory. Building on these principles, a main key to success is created for the programme development challenge of IEPs followed by the creation of sub keys for optimising their instructional, assessment, and administrative designs. These steps are demonstrated using a think-aloud protocol. Ultimately, this chapter presents how the instructional, assessment, and administrative designs of an educational programme can be effectively optimised through the lens of Asymmetric Theory using IEPs as a comprehensive example. © 2025 The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.Book Part JAK Inhibitors/Drug Interactions(Springer Science+Business Media, 2025) Demirci Saadet, E.JAK inhibitors are a group of drugs that can affect the signaling of various cytokines simultaneously. The number of indications in dermatology has been increasing in recent years. JAK inhibitors are largely metabolized by the liver. Therefore, drug–drug interactions may occur when used with cytochrome P450 and CYP2C19 inhibitors or inducers, and drug dosages should be adjusted or not used together. In addition, OAT-3 inhibitors, which are known to play a role in renal elimination, interact with some JAK inhibitors, and dose adjustment is recommended. During treatment, drug–drug interactions should be reviewed in combination with JAK inhibitors and other drugs. © 2025 The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.Book Part Citation - Scopus: 1Boundary-Element Method in Microfluidics(Springer Science+Business Media, 2015) Çetin, Barbaros; Baranoğlu, BesimBook Part Citation - Scopus: 1Safety, Toxicity Profile and Side Effects(Springer Science+Business Media, 2025) Demirci Saadet, E.; Türsen, B.Since Janus kinases mediate the effects of numerous inflammatory cytokines, various side effects are observed during treatment with JAK inhibitors that inhibit these kinases. Infections are the most common side effects. The development of malignancy, venous thromboembolism, major cardiovascular adverse events, nausea, acne, and various laboratory abnormalities has also been observed with the use of JAK inhibitors. With the long-term use of JAK inhibitors, their safety, toxicity and side effect profiles are better understood. © 2025 The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.Book Part Rehabilitation of Otorhinolaryngology Manifestations of COVID-19(Springer Science+Business Media, 2025) Ayhan, F.F.Otolaryngology or ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialty plays a vital role in the management of COVID-19 survivors and has been heavily involved in the pandemic, starting with research on the early symptoms of smell and taste loss to performing tracheostomy and sometimes referral to rehabilitation. The rehabilitation issues including post-intensive care syndrome, swallowing and voice problems, vertigo and hearing loss, taste and smell losses, peripheral facial palsy, and obstructive sleep apnea related to COVID-19 were discussed in this chapter. These problems can be solved within a multidisciplinary care team that includes ENT specialists, physiatrists, intensivists, rehabilitation nurses, physiotherapists, respiratory therapists, and speech-language pathologists, tailoring to the patients’ needs. Clinicians have used technology to provide telerehabilitation during the pandemic. Personal protective equipment, personal hygiene, and social isolation were the main and only measures to limit the disease. Otorhinolaryngology is one of the high-risk specialties for viral transmission. The pandemic caused a significant change in the way ENT specialists work. Rehabilitation is essential to solving some ENT problems leading to functional loss related to COVID-19 under the leadership of a physiatrist or physical medicine and rehabilitation specialist. © 2025 Springer Nature Switzerland AG.Book Part Shear Forming(Springer Science+Business Media, 2014) Music, Omer
