This special double issue of Professionals in Business Journal marks the tenth issue of the journal and brings together work developed during an extended period of editorial review and synthesis. Rather than adhering to a rigid publication cadence, PIBJ publishes selectively, prioritizing coherence, depth, and relevance over frequency. Issue 10 reflects that commitment.
On July 25, 2025, Pyrrhic Press-together with a network of educators, legal professionals, and concerned citizens-issued a public open letter addressed to principal leaders including: Senator Andy Kim and Senator Cory Booker. The letter called for immediate and bipartisan legislative action to guarantee legal representation for unaccompanied minors in immigration court, institute trauma-informed intake processes, and implement culturally competent, language-accessible procedures in federal custody facilities and courtrooms.
Millions of stars cataloged by modern astrometric surveys remain unnamed and unstudied despite their presence in the night sky. TYC 3905-1292-1 exemplifies such catalog stars—moderately faint, unclassified, and scientifically inert, yet consistently visible in the constellation Draco. In 2025, it was symbolically named “Star Babylove” by Pirro and Negron-Pirro (2025) as part of a public campaign to elevate the star from anonymity through educational and poetic storytelling. This paper compiles all known information about TYC 3905-1292-1 and frames its reintroduction into the astronomical narrative through observational, scientific, and symbolic lenses.
Despite widespread commitment to ethical conduct, organizations continue to face scandals, whistleblower crises, and regulatory backlash. This apparent paradox suggests that ethics, while valued rhetorically, remains poorly institutionalized in practice. For many organizations, ethics is synonymous with compliance—checklists, audits, or training sessions led by legal departments. Culture is often treated separately, relegated to HR or internal communications. Policy, meanwhile, is viewed as static documentation rather than a living operational tool. This separation of domains fragments the ethical ecosystem and prevents the emergence of a unified, resilient system of values-driven decision-making.
In the digital age, organizations pride themselves on being fast, lean, and adaptive. Yet beneath this rhetoric of efficiency lies a troubling paradox: the more companies strive for productivity through technological acceleration and agile processes, the more they exhaust the cognitive resources of the people meant to carry them forward. Knowledge workers, mid-level managers, and senior executives alike now contend with unrelenting streams of information, hyper-fragmented calendars, and perpetual context-switching that make sustained thinking increasingly rare.
The twenty-first century has ushered in a new form of enclosure-not of land or labor, but of attention. In previous eras, colonial powers seized territory and resources. Today, cognitive real estate is the site of conquest. Attention, once a private asset, has been externalized, commodified, and sold (Wu, 2016). Platforms built on surveillance and behavioral engineering now command unprecedented influence over what people see, believe, and feel.
