Does power matter? Negotiator status as a moderator of the relationship between negotiator emotion and behavior

Purpose – This paper aims to enrich the literature on negotiation by theorizing and empirically validating that power is an important moderator of the relationship between negotiator emotion and behavior.Design/methodology/approach – Data were collected from 322 students of an MBA program and executive education programs. The students participated in a two‐stage, mixed‐motive negotiation simulation during which they reported pre‐negotiation emotion, as well as their negotiation behavior.Findings – The empirical analyzes showed that the relationship between negotiator emotion and behavior was stronger for high‐power negotiators than for their low‐power counterparts. Interestingly, high‐ and low‐power negotiators' emotions were more predictive of their dominating and yielding behavior, respectively. Perhaps, because of their dependence, low‐power negotiators were more sensitive and responsive to the emotions of their high‐power counterparts than vice versa. The results also showed that low‐power negotiators.
Narratives of an organization's identities

The thesis explores narratives constructed by participants about an organization’s identities. I examine how identity-relevant statements were deployed as exercises in power, serving to legitimize and promote their authors. Framed within an interpretive paradigm, the research adopts reflexive approaches to consider participants’ understandings. I draw on organizational identity theory and empirical studies to explore the multiplicity and conflicting nature of identity in organizations. Literatures on organizational narratives, storytelling and power are also considered. The ethnography is set in a public sector organization in which I worked: the Personal Accounts Delivery Authority (PADA). Its role was to deliver the Government’s reforms to private pension provision in the UK; the reforms came into force in October 2012. The narrative data constructing the research were collected through semi-structured interviews with 60 members of the organization, transcripts of organizational events and a diary I recorded for a year. These data are augmented by a series of vignettes that weave in accounts of my experiences while working for and researching PADA. The analysis of narrative data is constructed in three chapters, each of which explores identity-relevant narratives from different perspectives. The first analysis chapter examines narrative data through five concepts: reflexivity, voice, plurivocity, temporality and fictionality. The second analyses identity narratives in two organizational events and the third explores my understandings of the organization’s identities from an autoethnographic perspective. The discussion chapter provides three readings that interpret the data through different lenses: narrative and storytelling, organizational identity and autoethnographic erspectives. I then make concluding remarks, including ideas for future research and the contribution of my research to the study of organizational identity. The primary contribution of the ethnography is to scholarship at the intersection of identity and power in organizations and specifically how identity-relevant narratives are deployed as exercises in power by participants. There are also contributions to narrative research methods, including the value of researching identity ethnographically. Additionally, I suggest practical contributions to literature on understanding issues of culture and sense-making in public bodies and how employees from different sector backgrounds (public and private) interact within a public sector context to deliver government reforms.
Cell death and the mitochondria: therapeutic targeting of the BCL‐2 family‐driven pathway

The principal biological role of mitochondria is to supply energy to cells; although intriguingly, evolution has bestowed another essential function upon these cellular organelles: under physiological stress, mitochondria become the cornerstone of apoptotic cell death. Specifically, mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization (MOMP) allows cell death factors such as cytochrome c to be released into the cytoplasm, thus inducing caspase activation and the eventual destruction of essential cellular components. Proteins of the B‐cell lymphoma 2 (BCL‐2) family control the tightly regulated pathway that causes MOMP. The equilibrium between pro‐survival and pro‐apoptotic members of the BCL‐2 family dictates the fate of cells, the homeostasis of organs and, by extension, the health of whole organisms. Dysregulation of this equilibrium is involved in a large number of diseases such as cancer, autoimmunity and neurodegenerative conditions. Modulating the activity of the BCL‐2 family of proteins with small molecules or peptides is an attractive but challenging therapeutic goal. This review highlights the latest developments in this field and provides evidence that this strategy is likely to have a positive effect on the treatment of still poorly addressed medical conditions.
Clearing the Cervical Spine in the Blunt Trauma Patient

The goal of cervical spine clearance is to establish that injuries are not present. Patients are classified into four groups: asymptomatic, temporarily nonassessable secondary to distracting injuries or intoxication, symptomatic, and obtunded. Level I evidence supports that the asymptomatic patient can be cleared on clinical grounds and does not require imaging. The temporarily nonassessable patient may have short‐term mental status changes (eg, intoxication, painful distracting injuries) and can be evaluated by two methods. When there is urgency, the evaluation is similar to that for the obtunded patient. Alternatively, the patient can be reevaluated within 24 to 48 hours, after return of mentation or following treatment of painful injuries. The patient then can be assessed as the asymptomatic patient is. The symptomatic patient requires advanced imaging. The obtunded patient should undergo, at minimum, a multidetector CT scan. Two methods are advocated. One uses only multidetector CT; a normal result is sufficient to clear the obtunded patient. The alternative method is obtaining a magnetic resonance image subsequent to a negative multidetector CT scan. Because at present information is insufficient to determine whether MRI is indicated, this is an area of controversy.

Patterns and Drivers of Tree Mortality in Iberian Forests: Climatic Effects Are Modified by Competition

Tree mortality is a key process underlying forest dynamics and community assembly. Understanding how tree mortality is driven by simultaneous drivers is needed to evaluate potential effects of climate change on forest composition. Using repeat-measure information from c. 400,000 trees from the Spanish Forest Inventory, we quantified the relative importance of tree size, competition, climate and edaphic conditions on tree mortality of 11 species, and explored the combined effect of climate and competition. Tree mortality was affected by all of these multiple drivers, especially tree size and asymmetric competition, and strong interactions between climate and competition were found. All species showed L-shaped mortality patterns (i.e. showed decreasing mortality with tree size), but pines were more sensitive to asymmetric competition than broadleaved species. Among climatic variables, the negative effect of temperature on tree mortality was much larger than the effect of precipitation. Moreover, the effect of climate (mean annual temperature and annual precipitation) on tree mortality was aggravated at high competition levels for all species, but especially for broadleaved species. The significant interaction between climate and competition on tree mortality indicated that global change in Mediterranean regions, causing hotter and drier conditions and denser stands, could lead to profound effects on forest structure and composition. Therefore, to evaluate the potential effects of climatic change on tree mortality, forest structure must be considered, since two systems of similar composition but different structure could radically differ in their response to climatic conditions.
Prevalence of Deletional Alpha Thalassemia and Sickle Gene in a Tribal Dominated Malaria Endemic Area of Eastern India

Inherited hemoglobin disorders like alpha thalassemia and sickle gene are common in the Indian subcontinent. These disorders in the heterozygous state act as malaria resistance genes and influence the susceptibility to Plasmodium falciparum malaria. There is inadequate knowledge about the epidemiology of these malaria resistance genes in the tribal dominated malaria endemic region of the state of Odisha in eastern India. A cross sectional prevalence study was undertaken in 594 subjects in five tribal populations in this region, namely, Sahara (42.4%), Kutia Kandha (30.0%), Kuda (15.8%), Gond (9.8%), and Oraon (2.0%). Sickling test, Hb electrophoresis, HPLC, and molecular studies were undertaken to diagnose the prevalence of sickle allele, β-thalassemia allele, and deletional alpha thalassemia. Sickle and β thalassemia alleles were found in 13.1% and 3.4% of subjects, respectively. Sickle allele was found both in heterozygous (10.1%) and homozygous state (3.03%). The prevalence of alpha thalassemia was 50.84% with an allelic frequency of 0.37. Both α −3.7 and α −4.2 alpha thalassemia were detected with an allele frequency of 0.33 and 0.04, respectively. The high prevalence of alpha thalassemia and sickle gene in this population is probably due to selection pressure of endemic malaria in this part of India.
FuSem - Exploring Different Semantics of Data Fusion

Data fusion is the ﬁnal step of a typical data integration process, after schematic conﬂicts have been overcome and after duplicates have been correctly identiﬁed. We present the relational data fusion system FuSem , which uses schema mappings and information about duplicates to decide what to fuse, i.e., which tuples to merge into one. The aspect emphasized by the demo is how to fuse the duplicates with FuSem . First, it oﬀers several conﬂict resolution functions to handle data conﬂicts among duplicates. Furthermore, diﬀerent fusion semantics proposed in the literature, such as MatchJoin or ConQuer, can be compared and visually explored. Optimized execution allows interactive access to the data and thus to explore the diﬀerent data fusion procedures.

The Perceptions of the Psychological Counselors about Their Roles and Responsibilities Related to School Security

The purpose of this study is to analyze the perceptions of the psychological counselors about their roles and responsibilities related to school security. The study group of the study is formed of 12 psychological counselors working in different school grades in Erzurum city center. The study is formed in qualitative design. Three themes as factors affecting school security, roles and responsibilities in terms of school security, the tasks that the psychological counselors can take in terms of school security have been created in the study. The data of the study was analyzed by using content analysis. As a result of the study, it is seen that the factors affecting the school security according to psychological counselors are physical and social environment of the school, school management and attitudes of the teachers, school security system. It is determined that the perceptions of the psychological counselors about their roles and responsibilities are psychological security, responsibility, legal acts and professional competence. It is also determined that the tasks that the psychological counselors can take are preventive studies and studies towards parents.
Acute Effects of Dynamic Stretching, Static Stretching, and Light Aerobic Activity on Muscular Performance in Women

Curry, BS, Chengkalath, D, Crouch, GJ, Romance, M, and Manns, PJ. Acute effects of dynamic stretching, static stretching and light aerobic activity on muscular performance in women. J Strength Cond Res 23(6): 1811-1819, 2009-The purpose of this study was to compare three warm-up protocols-static stretching, dynamic stretching, and light aerobic activity-on selected measures of range of motion and power in untrained females and to investigate the sustained effects at 5 and 30 minutes after warm-up. A total of 24 healthy females (ages 23-29 years) attended one familiarization session and three test sessions on nonconsecutive days within 2 weeks. A within-subject design protocol with the testing investigators blinded to the subjects' warm-up was followed. Each session started with 5 minutes of light aerobic cycling followed by pretest baseline measures. Another 5 minutes of light aerobic cycling was completed and followed by one of the three randomly selected warm-up interventions (static stretching, dynamic stretching, or light aerobic activity). The following posttest outcome measures were collected 5 and 30 minutes following the intervention: modified Thomas test, countermovement jump, and isometric time to peak force knee extension measured by dynamometer. Analysis of the data revealed significant time effects on range of motion and countermovement jump changes. No significant differences (p > 0.05) were found between the warm-up conditions on any of the variables. The variation in responses to warm-up conditions emphasizes the unique nature of individual reactions to different warm-ups; however, there was a tendency for warm-ups with an active component to have beneficial effects. The data suggests dynamic stretching has greater applicability to enhance performance on power outcomes compared to static stretching.
Micro and macro-level determinants of women's employment in six MENA countries

Determinants of women’s employment are studied using data for 65,000 women living in 103 districts of six Arab countries. At the household level, socio-economic factors, care duties, and values are most important, and at the district-level economic development and gender equality. Women’s education clearly takes in a key position. Interaction analysis shows the effect of education to be stronger for women with less care duties and women married to higher educated partners. This last finding suggests a ceiling effect of husband’s socio-economic status on wives’ achievements. Returns to education are also higher in more traditional districts. Our results stress the importance of education as a major road towards women’s empowerment in these countries. Draft versions of this paper are presented at the 6th Middle East Economics Association, 14th-16th March 2007, Dubai, United Arab Emirates and the IZA-World Bank conference on Employment and Development, 8th-9th July 2007, Bonn, Germany. We thank the participations of these conferences for the useful comments.

Safety of bevacizumab in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer and brain metastases.

PURPOSE Patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and brain metastases have previously been excluded from trials of bevacizumab because of suspected risk of CNS hemorrhage. This phase II trial, AVF3752g (PASSPORT), specifically addressed bevacizumab safety (incidence of grade > or = 2 CNS hemorrhage) in patients with NSCLC and previously treated brain metastases. PATIENTS AND METHODS This open-label multicenter trial for first- and second-line treatment of nonsquamous NSCLC enrolled patients with treated brain metastases. First-line patients received bevacizumab (15 mg/kg) every 3 weeks with platinum-based doublet therapy or erlotinib (at physician's decision), and second-line patients received bevacizumab with single-agent chemotherapy or erlotinib, until disease progression or death. RESULTS Of the 115 enrolled patients, 66 of 76 first-line patients received carboplatin-based chemotherapy; 22 of 39 second-line patients received pemetrexed, and nine of 39 received erlotinib. As of the June 23, 2008 data cut, among 106 safety-evaluable patients, median on-study duration was 6.3 months (range, 0 to 22 months), with a median of five bevacizumab cycles (range, one to 17), and no reported episodes of grade > or = 2 CNS hemorrhage (95% CI, 0.0% to 3.3%). Of the bevacizumab-targeted adverse events reported, two were grade 5. Both were pulmonary hemorrhages, one occurring during treatment and the other occurring 6 weeks after the data cut; there was also one grade 4, nonpulmonary/non-CNS hemorrhage. Twenty-six patients (24.5%) discontinued study treatment as a result of an adverse event, and 37 (34.9%) discontinued because of disease progression. CONCLUSION Addition of bevacizumab to various chemotherapy agents or erlotinib in patients with NSCLC and treated brain metastases seems to be safe and is associated with a low incidence of CNS hemorrhage.

Consequences of partial and severe dopaminergic lesion on basal ganglia oscillatory activity and akinesia

Severe chronic dopamine (DA) depletion increases the proportion of neurons in the basal ganglia that fire rhythmic bursts of action potential (LFO units) synchronously with the cortical oscillations. Here we report on how different levels of mesencephalic DA denervation affect substantia nigra pars reticulata (SNpr) neuronal activity in the rat and its relationship to akinesia (stepping test). Chronic nigrostriatal lesion induced with 0 (control group), 4, 6 or 8 µg of 6‐hydroxydopamine (6‐OHDA) into the medial forebrain bundle resulted in a dose‐dependent decrease of tyrosine hydroxylase positive (TH+) neurons in the SN and ventral tegmental area (VTA). Although 4 µg of 6‐OHDA reduced the number of TH+ neurons in the SN by ∼60%, both stepping test performance and SNpr neuronal activity remained indistinguishable from control animals. By contrast, animals that received 6 µg of 6‐OHDA showed a marked reduction of TH+ cells in the SN (∼75%) and VTA (∼55%), a significant stepping test deficit and an increased proportion of LFO units. These changes were not dramatically enhanced with 8 µg 6‐OHDA, a dose that induced an extensive DA lesion (> 95%) in the SN and ∼70% reduction of DA neurons in the VTA. These results suggest a threshold level of DA denervation for both the appearance of motor deficits and LFO units. Thus, the presence of LFO activity in the SNpr is not related to a complete nigrostriatal DA neuron depletion (ultimate stage parkinsonism); instead, it may reflect a functional disruption of cortico‐basal ganglia dynamics associated with clinically relevant stages of the disease.
