Industrial and Labor Relations review

The style format for AILR submitted manuscripts is basically the same as that for INDUSTRIAL AND LABOR RELATIONS REVIEW. Specifically, the authors' names should appear on the title page only, papers should be double spaced on one side of the page with at least 10 point font, references should follow scientific notation (i.e., refer to the author or authors' last names in parentheses in the text with the date of the reference and list the complete publication at the end of the paper in a "References" section), notes should be in endnote format placed at the end of the paper followed by a list of references and then tables, exhibits, appendices and related matter. Four (4) hard copies of the paper should be submitted to either editor of AILR together with a diskette containing the paper in a word processing file (preferably MS-Word) OR as an e-mail The ILR Review Editorial Board welcomes manuscripts on all aspects of industrial and labor relations. Authors should submit three (3) copies to the IRRA Managing Editor for submission to the ILRR Editor. Submitted manuscripts must not be under consideration by any other publisher. Authors will be required, whenever legally possible, to assign the copyright of the accepted manuscripts to the ILR Review. If a manuscript is accepted, we request one machine-readable copy of the final version, as well as two photocopies. Most authors will be asked to make their data and programs available on request to other researchers who wish to perform replication studies. A style sheet for the ILR Review appears below. A few important points of style: double-space your paper, use 12-point type size; include margins of at least I inch; provide tables and figures on pages separate from the text; and try to keep the paper's length to under 31 pages. When a manuscript is rejected in the initial screening by the Editor or Associate Editor, that decision is usually rendered within four weeks of' submission. When papers are submitted to the ILRR referees, the author usually receives a decision within five months. Refereeing is double-blind' the author's name is not divulged to referees, nor are the referees' names divulged to the author.
Two-dimensional finite element analysis of a high force density linear switched reluctance machine including three-dimensional effects

This paper presents results of a finite element analysis (FEA) study on the high force density linear switched reluctance motor. Analytical study by means of electric circuit analog of the same motor was presented earlier by the author (1995). For this refined analysis, two-dimensional (2D) FEA is used along with a novel way of accounting for three-dimensional (3D) effects. It is shown that with minimal 3D finite element modeling, the 2D finite element model can be used to satisfactorily include the third dimensional effects due to end turns and short stack length relative to the motor axial length. Finite element analysis results are presented and compared with measured results. Comparison with measured forces shows the effectiveness of the model.

How experience affects technology acceptance: A quest for ICT development strategies in Bangladesh

Despite an increasing amount of initiatives and policy priorities remain in Bangladesh for ICT development and establishing an e-based society by 2021, lower level of internet penetration made the whole initiatives inconclusive although there are enormous potentials. This study attempts to examine individuals' intention and actual internet usage behaviour applying an extended version of technology acceptance model (TAM). A descriptive research design was administered in explaining the joint impact of the study constructs. Structural equation modeling approach was used with the data collected from 291 individuals in Bangladesh through a questionnaire survey. The proposed model was first measured through factor loadings, composite reliability and the constructs correlation for convergent and discriminant validity. The structural model estimation results show that experience has direct significant relation with perceive ease of use, intention and actual behaviour and indirect relation with perceived usefulness through perceived ease of use. On the other hand, perceive usefulness has direct effects on intention while perceived ease of use doesn't but indirectly related through perceived usefulness. The path analysis furthered the significant effects of intention on actual internet usage behaviour in Bangladesh. The study concludes with implications.
Feeling Understood: The Lived Experience of Culturally Competent Nursing Care as Perceived by Patients of Chinese Ethnicity

FEELING UNDERSTOOD: THE LIVED EXPERIENCE OF CULTURALLY COMPETENT NURSING CARE AS PERCEIVED BY PATIENTS OF CHINESE ETHNICITY Deborah Suzanne Little The purpose of this qualitative study was to gain an understanding of the patients’ perceptions of the lived experience as recipients of culturally competent nursing care related to their cultural values, customs, and health beliefs. A review of the literature revealed that culturally competent nursing care is the basis of providing holistic, individualized care. However, as culturally competent care has gained momentum in recent years, healthcare disparities in the United States remain, particularly among underserved minority and vulnerable groups of multicultural backgrounds. Literature suggests a link between culturally competent nursing care and improved health outcomes. This connection has been the motivation for nursing professionals to embrace culturally competent care and work to close the gap of incongruence of quality healthcare for all individuals. Van Manen’s phenomenological research method was used to reveal the essence of the lived experience of culturally competent nursing care as perceived by participants of Chinese ethnicity. The phenomenon was the experience of being in a hospital receiving nursing care as a patient from diverse cultural background. The context of the phenomenon was healthcare organizations that purport to provide exemplary culturally competent care. Following interviews of nine participants, transcripts were analyzed. Data analysis revealed four themes: (a) nurse’s presence; (b) feeling understood; (c) nice nurse, happy nurse, happy patient related to nurses’ caring behaviors and the impact on one’s perception of their health; and (d) gratitude. The concept of connectedness was an overarching theme within each of the four identified themes, serving as the thread among all interviews and themes. Watson’s Human Caring Science Theory of Nursing provided a framework for the themes and overarching theme. In this qualitative study, participant interviews contributed to building the body of knowledge about culturally competent care that shed light on Chinese participants’ meaningful nursing care experiences.
Microencapsulation Technology: A Powerful Tool for Integrating Expansion and Cryopreservation of Human Embryonic Stem Cells

The successful implementation of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs)-based technologies requires the production of relevant numbers of well-characterized cells and their efficient long-term storage. In this study, cells were microencapsulated in alginate to develop an integrated bioprocess for expansion and cryopreservation of pluripotent hESCs. Different three-dimensional (3D) culture strategies were evaluated and compared, specifically, microencapsulation of hESCs as: i) single cells, ii) aggregates and iii) immobilized on microcarriers. In order to establish a scalable bioprocess, hESC-microcapsules were cultured in stirred tank bioreactors. The combination of microencapsulation and microcarrier technology resulted in a highly efficient protocol for the production and storage of pluripotent hESCs. This strategy ensured high expansion ratios (an approximately twenty-fold increase in cell concentration) and high cell recovery yields (>70%) after cryopreservation. When compared with non-encapsulated cells, cell survival post-thawing demonstrated a three-fold improvement without compromising hESC characteristics. Microencapsulation also improved the culture of hESC aggregates by protecting cells from hydrodynamic shear stress, controlling aggregate size and maintaining cell pluripotency for two weeks. This work establishes that microencapsulation technology may prove a powerful tool for integrating the expansion and cryopreservation of pluripotent hESCs. The 3D culture strategy developed herein represents a significant breakthrough towards the implementation of hESCs in clinical and industrial applications.
Pengaruh Terapi Ruqyah Syar’iyyah Terhadap Penurunan Tingkat Kecemasan

Therapy for Ruqyah as therapy non-medical, selected for scientific study is still limited, and the purpose of this study to get a model of treatment in accordance with the values and culture of Indonesia. This study only discusses the case of anxiety disorder. The subject of the study 10 people. The method used Quasi-Experiment with the design of One Group Before-After Design. Anxiety measuring instrument based on the theory of Nevid, Rathus, and Greene (2005). The data obtained by the change in the level of anxiety as much as 14.82%. Physical symptoms and decreased by 15.35%, Cognition symptoms as much as 10.55%. Behavior symptoms as much as 9.21%. That is, syar'iyyah ruqyah therapy tends to reduce the level of anxiety, especially physical symptoms. Psychological evaluation is done by using a reference REBT, obtained a decrease in the level of anxiety due to the influence of belief - belief in Islam. Similarly obtained Ruqyah therapy is less effective that the symptoms evocative of cognition because they can not apply the D - Disputing against the fixed mindset when referring to the steps REBT from Albert Ellis (2007).
Crosstalk-aware link power model for Networks-on-Chip

Networks-on-Chip (NoCs) are recognized as the solution to address the communication bottleneck in Multiprocessor System-on-Chip (MPSoC). As the NoC represents a significant part of the system power consumption, MPSoC designers expect accurate power models in order to produce energy efficient systems. Nowadays, NoC simulators rely on power models that integrate link models without crosstalk modeling. In this work, we present a link power model with crosstalk modeling embedded in a NoC simulator. We show that the crosstalk effect has a deep impact on NoC energy consumption since our results demonstrate that classical models generate errors up to 45.5% on the whole NoC energy consumption estimation.
A Wireless Actor and Sensor Networks QoS-Aware Routing Protocol for the Emergency Preparedness Class of Applications

Wireless actors and sensor networks (WASNs) can provide a more accurate real time monitoring tool for the emergency preparedness class of application. Quality of service can be an important mechanism to guarantee that the strict requirements for that class of application are met. This paper presents QARP, a QoS-aware routing protocol with service differentiation for WASNs. The publish/subscribe paradigm is used to promote the interaction among the sensor nodes, actor nodes and the sink. The QARP provides low latency and reliable delivery in the presence of failures (with fast subscription of new interests and uniform energy consumption). It uses the less expensive energy path for low priority packets that do not require low latency. A queuing model is used that supports lower transfer rate for lower priority packet delivery in jam conditions. Simulation results show that the protocol is efficient regarding QoS metrics. QARP can be a potential solution for the monitoring of context aware physical environments subject to emergency situations
Associations of the BRAFV600E Mutation with Sonographic Features and Clinicopathologic Characteristics in a Large Population with Conventional Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma

Objective To evaluate the association of the BRAFV600E mutation with sonographic features and clinicopathologic characteristics in a large population with conventional papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). Methods We retrospectively reviewed the sonographic features, clinicopathologic characteristics, and presence of the BRAFV600E mutation in 688 patients who underwent thyroidectomy for conventional PTC between January and July 2010 at a single institution. The incidence of the BRAFV600E mutation was calculated. The sonographic features and clinicopathologic characteristics were compared between BRAF-positive and BRAF-negative patients. BRAF-positive patients were subdivided into those with papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (the PTMC group) and those with PTC larger than 10 mm (the PTC>10 mm group), and their sonographic features were compared. Results The BRAFV600E mutation was detected in 69.2% of patients (476 of 688). Sonographic features were not significantly different between BRAF-positive and BRAF-negative PTC, nor between PTMC and PTC>10 mm groups. The BRAFV600E mutation was associated with male sex (P = 0.028), large tumor size, extrathyroidal extension, central and lateral lymph node metastasis, and advanced tumor stage (P<0.0001). Conclusion The BRAFV600E mutation was significantly associated with several poor clinicopathologic characteristics, but was not associated with sonographic features, regardless of tumor size. We recommend that patients with a thyroid nodule with any suspicious sonographic feature undergo preoperative BRAFV600E testing for risk stratification and to guide the initial surgical approach in PTC.
Restorative Justice and Campus Sexual Misconduct

In order to improve university responses to sexual assault, we must leverage university strengths—and realistically expand their capacities—to meet students’ needs. Restorative justice processes offer campus sexual misconduct victims and responsible parties a promising alternative to traditional disciplinary processes. Yet, while there is ample scholarship on campus sexual assault and on restorative justice but surprisingly little analysis on using the former to address the latter. This Article provides a deeper, more expansive analysis of how universities may use restorative justice processes in campus disciplinary procedures that address sexual assault. I argue that restorative justice and universities may be uniquely suited to each other; using restorative justice may resolve many problems in the traditional campus disciplinary system, and the university setting may avoid several complications that restorative justice raises in the criminal justice system. At the same time, the university environment also provides unique challenges that can undermine the benefits of restorative justice. We should take seriously both the promises and perils of using restorative justice to address campus sexual assault.
PIECEWISE HARMONIC SUBHARMONIC FUNCTIONS AND POSITIVE CAUCHY TRANSFORMS

We give a local characterization of the class of functions having positive distributional derivative with respect to z that are almost everywhere equal to one of finitely many analytic functions and satisfy some mild nondegeneracy assumptions. As a consequence, we give conditions that guarantee that any subharmonic piecewise harmonic function coincides locally with the maximum of finitely many harmonic functions and we describe the topology of their level curves. These results are valid in a quite general setting as they assume no a priori conditions on the differentiable structure of the support of the associated Riesz measures. We also discuss applications to positive Cauchy transforms and we consider several examples and related problems.
The Impact of Microteaching in Developing Teaching Skills among Pre-Service Teachers in Alvan Ikoku College of Education Owerri, Nigeria

Teaching skills are necessary tools teachers should possess for effectiveness in their job. Teaching the teacher candidates these skills is not simple hence the need for a microteaching environment which enables pre-service teachers to acquire them under controlled laboratory setting. This study was an extension of current NCE microteaching programme run by Alvan Ikoku College of Education for the B.Ed student teachers in order to determine its impact on their acquisition of the requisite teaching skills. A sample of 90 student teachers was purposively drawn from the second-year degree students in the college who were preparing to embark on the teaching practice programme in the 2016 teaching practice programme. The study involved a pre-test and a post-test of the students using a microteaching skills rating scale (MSRS) developed by the researchers. Data collected was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings of the study revealed that the microteaching interventions improved the teaching skills significantly with significant differences between the three intervention groups. The group that received microteaching treatment with video recording performed better than the other groups while gender had no significant effect on their mean scores. The result has far reaching implication on the need for a well-equipped microteaching laboratory for microteaching programmes in teacher education institutions. Key Words : Impact; microteaching; teaching skills; pre-service teachers
Bone marrow disease detection with FDG-PET/CT and bone marrow biopsy during the staging of malignant lymphoma: results from a large multicentre study.

AIM To compare the accuracy of bone marrow biopsy (BMb) and positron emission tomography (PET) in bone marrow disease (BMD) detection, in a large multicentre population of patients with new diagnosis of malignant lymphoma. METHODS PET and BMb were performed to complete disease staging in 337 consecutive patients: 130 Hodgkin's disease (HD), 207 aggressive non Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of both techniques in BMD detection were evaluated and compared. RESULTS 87 patients with BMD (25 positives at both exams, 27 only at the BMb and 35 only at the PET study). PET vs. BMb were reordered: sensitivity: 69% vs. 59.8%; specificity: 99.2% vs. 100%; accuracy: 91.4% vs. 89.6%; positive predictive value: 96.8% vs. 100%; negative predictive value: 90.2% vs. 87.7%. CONCLUSION The sensitivity of PET and BMb is similar (69% and 60%, respectively), PET and BMb are complementary: in fact out of 87 patients with confirmed BMD only 25 are positive at both exams, while 27 only at the BMb and 35 only at the PET exam; the integration of PET findings with BMb ones increases the diagnostic accuracy. Consequentially PET is essential during the staging of malignant lymphomas.
IL23R Gene Confers Susceptibility to Ankylosing Spondylitis Concomitant with Uveitis in a Han Chinese Population

Purpose The interleukin-23 receptor (IL-23R) has been shown to be associated with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) in many different populations. This study examined whether IL-23R polymorphisms were associated with susceptibility to this disease in a Chinese Han population. Methods Three single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP), rs7517847, rs11209032, and rs17375018, were genotyped in 291 AS patients and 312 age-, sex-, and ethnically matched healthy controls using a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) assay. Results The genotype and allele frequencies of rs17375018, rs7517847, and rs11209032 were not different between the patients with AS and the healthy controls. On the one hand, stratification analysis indicated that the rs17375018 GG genotype and the G allele were increased in AS patients who were HLA-B27 positive (corrected p = 0.024, odds ratio [OR] 2.35, 95% CI 1.30–4.24; p c = 0.006, OR 1.98, 95% CI 1.28–3.07, respectively). On the other hand, the analysis according to clinical characteristics showed a significantly increased prevalence of the homozygous rs17375018 GG genotype and the G allele in patients with AS and uveitis compared with the controls (p c = 0.024 and p c = 0.024, respectively). In addition, haplotype analysis performed with the SHEsis platform revealed no significant difference concerning the haplotypes between AS patients and healthy controls. Conclusions In this study, the results suggested that the rs17375018 of IL23R was positively associated with HLA-B27-positive AS and that the rs17375018 GG of IL-23R was associated with AS concomitant with uveitis. We found no evidence for an association between the other two SNPs of IL-23R and AS.
Capital and Labor Reallocation within Firms

We document how a shock to investment opportunities at one plant (“treated plant”) spills over to other plants within the same firm, but only if the firm is financially constrained. To provide the treated plant with resources, headquarters withdraws capital and labor from other plants, especially from plants that are relatively less productive, not part of the firm’s core industries, and located far away from headquarters. As a result of the resource reallocation, aggregate firm-wide productivity increases. We do not find any evidence of capital or labor spillovers among plants of financially unconstrained firms.
