Linking acceding of women to leadership with conscientiousness and neuroticism: The Kenyan public sector

This study investigates the link for women in the public sector in Kenya and conscientiousness as well as neuroticism in their quest for growth to the top. Current management trends that would achieve utmost organizational success call for inclusiveness of all sectors of society, and gender is a pertinent aspect of this sector. Women need some personality traits that they would hinge on to achieve leadership levels and be able to participate in decision making; therefore making the needed changes for the women themselves. Exploratory research design which will provide deep understanding of the variables under investigation was applied to study the non-elected women leaders in the public sector in Kenya. The interviewees were obtained through stratified random sampling. This is dividing the population into homogenous subgroup and then taking a simple random sample from each subgroup. Data were obtained from this sample by use of self administered questionnaires while interview schedules were used to obtain in-depth information pertaining to the strategies hinged on to get to the top. Various analyses were carried out to assess the link between acceding of women to leadership with conscientiousness and neuroticism, such as descriptive, correlation, regression and content analysis. This study concluded that women need to possess these personality characteristics, among others. It concluded that the traits are a link to acceding leadership positions.
NITROGEN MANAGEMENT FOR POTATOES BY USING RAPID TEST METHODS

-1 ) were applied on three cultivars and replicated three times. Representative leaf samples were collected three times during vegetation at 10 day intervals, and nitrate in the petiole sap was immediately measured with a Cardy ion meter. Approximately 30 leaf chlorophyll readings were also taken. At the same time petiole samples were collected, with a portable, hand held Hydro N-tester chlorophyll meter. Petiole sap nitrate concentration and chlorophyll content index (CCI) increased with increasing fertilization levels and decreased as the season progressed. Highest correlations between the amount of nitrate nitrogen and chlorophyll in leaves were observed at approximately 50 days after planting. Furthermore, the methods were highly correlated. Yield was not related to the amount of petiole sap nitrate and chlorophyll content index during the vegetation.
Tendances de la qualité de l'emploi pendant la crise: une approche européenne comparative / Trends in Job Quality during the Great Recession: a Comparative Approach for the EU

This paper focuses on the consequences of the crisis on job quality in Europe. Its aim is twofold: first, to identify trends in job quality in the EU during the 2007-2009 crisis; secondly, to explore the link between these trends and cyclical as well as institutional factors. It relies on European surveys data (European Working Conditions Survey, Labour Force Survey, EU-SILC). A first step of the analysis relies on synthetic indices of job quality developed in previous researches (ETUI Job Quality Index) and compares 2005 and 2010. In average in the EU the aggregate index shows a marginal overall decline in job quality between 2005 and 2010. Improvements are visible with regard to working conditions, working-time and work-life balance. However, involuntary non-standard employment has increased and wages display a pronounced deterioration. Slight declines are also visible in skills and career development and in collective interest representation. At the national level some countries exhibit a more than marginal improvement in overall job quality (Poland, Czech Republic, Belgium and Denmark), whereas others see marked declines in job quality (Ireland and France). A second step builds on dynamic indicators calculated at the individual level. They account for individual transitions in terms of job quality during the trough of the economic downturn (between 2007 and 2009), using EU-SILC panel data. Using multi-level logistic regressions, the paper assesses the contribution of both individual and country-level characteristics (institutions and business-cycle indicators) to a possible deterioration in job quality. It shows that some socio-economic groups are more affected by decreasing trends in job quality (other things being equal), especially youth, older workers and low-educated workers. Women seem less affected by these negative trends than men but are more likely than men to become unemployed or inactive over the period. Cross-country heterogeneity in job quality trends can be related to economic trends (unemployment variation) and, to a minor extent, to the employment distribution by sectors. Some labour market institutions also seem to play a role in explaining the evolution of job quality in times of crisis: employment protection legislation (as defined by the OECD) prevents individual transitions to nonemployment (and has no direct effect on job quality) while public expenditure per unemployed slightly reduces the risk of job quality deterioration.
African American Women at Midlife: The Relationship between Spirituality and Life Satisfaction

In this study, 147 African American women from six states were asked to complete the Adult Life Satisfaction Scale and the Black Women's Spirituality/Religiosity Measure (BWSRM), and in-depth interviews were conducted with 6 African American women. Although no significant difference was found among the ratings of life satisfaction and spirituality with respect to age or educational level, the women reported higher levels of religiosity than spirituality, which correlated significantly with life satisfaction. An analysis of a subscale of the BWSRM, however, found that the women reported significantly higher levels of spirituality than of religiosity. A moderate correlation was found between age and religiosity, and spirituality was found to be a critical variable that contributed to the life satisfaction of African American women at midlife regardless of age, income, or education.
Vulnerability of Coastal Fisher Households to Climate Change: A Case Study from Gujarat, India

The impacts of climate change are invariably seen on agriculture, aquatic ecosystem, energy, and economics. The fishery sector on which livelihood of world’s 36 million fishers depends is also not untouched but a little attention has been given to study the vulnerability of fisherfolk population to climate change programs. Therefore, the present study was envisaged to assess the vulnerability of fishers to the climate change in Junagadh district of Gujarat, India. The vulnerability of 1500 fisher household was assessed using PARS (parameter, attribute, resilient indicator, score) methodology, in four coastal villages namely Old light house, Bhidiya, Navabunder and Rajpara in Junagadh district. Five parameters viz., fishery, economy, social, environmental and development drivers have been assessed as indicators of sensitivity, exposure and adaptive capacity. ‘Economy’ was found to be the most impacted parameter consequent to climate change followed by the ‘social’ and ‘environmental’ parameters. The results obtained reflect low adaptive capacity of fishers that could be attributed to lack of awareness, preparation, and mitigation option. Thus, the finding of the study could be used as a vital input while developing the policy and suitable action plan to combat the impacts of climate change minimizing the risk to fisheries sector.
CAUSES OF COW CULLING IN THE TIE STALL SYSTEM

Causes for cow culling in a tie stall system were investigated on a sample of 3060 cows culled in 2011, on seven large dairy farms in the Belgrade region. The total level of culling was 34.58% of the average number of cows. The number of cows culled decreased with lactation order (from 981 cows in the first to 294 cows in the sixth and later lactations). The most dominant cause for culling were diseases of the legs and hooves (28.4%), as was expected, having in mind the tie stall system. If selection (low production) is abstracted as the reason for culling, what stands out by importance are metabolic diseases (15.7%) and problems of reproduction (reproductive diseases - 8.6%, and difficult calvings and abortions 5.7%). With the increase of duration of the lactation during which cows were culled, reproductive diseases gained importance as the reason for culling, while the importance of metabolic diseases and diseases of the legs and hooves in this context decreased. When culled, on the average, cows were 5.2 years old, having on the average spent 1112 days in production, of which 978 days in milking. Their average milk production per day of milking was 22.00 kg, per day of life 10.6 kg, and per day of production 19.8 kg. [Projekat Ministarstva nauke Republike Srbije, br. TR 31053]
From production to selection of interpretations for novel conceptual combinations: A developmental approach

This study looks at how combinations of two French nouns are interpreted. The order of occurrence of the constituents of two types of conceptual combinations, relation and property, was manipulated in view of determining how property-based and relation-based interpretations evolve with age. Three groups of French-speaking children (ages 6, 8, and 10) and a group of adults performed an interpretation-selection task. The results for the children indicated that while property-based interpretations increased with age, relation-based interpretations were in the majority for both combination types, whereas for the adults, relation-based interpretations were in the minority for property combinations. For the children and adults alike, the most frequent interpretations were ones in which the head noun came first and was followed by the modifier (the opposite of the order observed for English).
ON THE GENERALIZED SET-VALUED MIXED VARIATIONAL INEQUALITIES

In this paper, we introduce and study a new class of the generalized set-valued mixed variational inequalities. Using the resolvent operator technique, we construct a new iterative algorithm for solving this class of the generalized set-valued mixed variational inequalities. We prove the existence of solutions for the generalized set-valued mixed variational inequalities and the convergence of the iterative sequences generated by the algorithm.
Foreign Capital Flows and Growth of the Nigeria Economy: An Empirical Review

The volume of investment capital flows between foreign nationals and developing nations has necessitated that a study be conducted to assess the impact of this foreign capital flows on the economic growth of these developing nations. This paper therefore aims at empirically determining the extent to which foreign capital flows have impacted on the growth performance of the Nigeria economy from 1982–2012. Data were drawn from the publications of the Nigerian Bureau of Statistics (NBS), the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the World Bank report. The multiple regression analysis method was adopted for the test of the hypotheses. The SPSS statistical software (version 17.0) was used for the data analysis. From the results of the analysis, it was discovered that Foreign Capital Inflows had a positive and significant effect on economic growth as proxied by the GDP, which is an indication that foreign capital inflows exerted considerable influence as a key fiscal policy instrument of economic growth over the stated period. Also the Foreign Capital Outflow in the same vein had a positive and significant effect on the GDP, which is another indication that it exerted considerable influence as a key fiscal policy instrument of economic growth over the stated period. Furthermore, the Openness of the economy, which was another explanatory variables used to ascertain the growth performance of the economy, had a positive and significant effect on the GDP. On the other hand, the Human Capital Development had a negative and insignificant effect on the GDP. The implication is that it did not exert much influence on economic growth over the stated period. Finally, the inflation rate had a positive sign with GDP. It was however; statistically insignificant which points to the severity of the inflationary pressure brought to bear on the economy over the stated period. The paper concludes that policy on foreign capital flows should be vigorously pursued and enhanced to provide a buffer to the nations dwindling internally generated revenue (IGR) amidst astronomically growing population.
The Economic Significance of National Border Effects

To address the economic significance of national border effects, this paper provides evidence on two fundamental questions: (1) Do large border effects arise because of high perceived-price wedges between foreign and domestic products, or because imports and domestic goods are very close substitutes? ; and (2) If price wedges are important, do they reflect distortionary barriers to trade or do they arise from nondistortionary factors, such as differences in transactions costs or product characteristics? I conclude that, while border effects may imply barriers, welfare costs, and a role for policy, distortions are probably not as substantial as initial border results suggested. (JEL F1)
Gender Performativity through Musicking: Examples from a Norwegian Classroom Study

This article is based on findings from the doctoral thesis Gender at Stake: A Study of Secondary School Pupils’ Musicking. The study explores how pupils stage and construct gender through the music they perform in the lower-secondary school music education in Norway. The observations and interviews of four music teaching practices in two urban lower-secondary schools that provided the qualitative data of the study are intended to highlight both the teachers’ and the pupils’ perspectives. Judith Butler’s concept of gender performativity is combined with Christopher Small’s concept of musicking to examine how gender is at stake in the music classroom. The study reveals that pupils relate to the gender constructions that often figurate in popular music as almost predefined packages in relation to the forms and the genre definitions. This article therefore discusses how gender becomes interwoven into musical form and influences pupils’ aesthetic formation. The study makes a contribution to music education research, adding new nuances to existing findings related to the gendered meanings music education practices can construct among pupils and teachers.
Phenotypic Detection of ESBL, MBL (IMP-1), and AmpC Enzymes, and Their Coexistence in Enterobacter and Klebsiella Species Isolated From Clinical Specimens

Background: Bacterial resistance to beta-lactam is a major problem in all developed and developing countries. The genera of Klebsiella and Enterobacter are associated with opportunistic and nosocomial infections. All beta-lactamase genes can cause dissemination of resistance to beta-lactams. Objectives: The present studyaimedto investigate the phenotypic detection of beta-lactamases in Enterobacter and Klebsiella species isolated from clinical specimens. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 59 Klebsiella spp. and 49 Enterobacter spp. isolated from clinical samples. They were confirmed using API 20E. These bacteria were evaluated for the production of extended-spectrum beta lactamase (ESBL), metallo-beta-lactamase (MBL) (IMP-1), and the pAmpC and iAmpC enzymes. This was done using the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) method, 2-mercaptopropionic acid, the cefoxitin method, and the use of imipenem as an enzymeinducer, respectively. Mask-ESBL production was also identified, using different concentrations of 3-amino-phenyl boronic acid compound. Data were analyzed with SPSS version 22. Results: In total, 38 (64.4%) Klebsiella spp. and 41 (83.7%) Enterobacter spp. produced at least one type of beta-lactamase. AmpCproducing Enterobacter spp. (71.4%), and ESBL-producing Klebsiella spp. (42.4%) had the highest prevalence of beta-lactamase types in each genus. There were two bacteria in both types that were resistant to all antibiotics without producing any type of beta-lactamase. Conclusions: According to our findings, it is necessary to pay special attention to ESBL production in Klebsiella spp. , while in Enterobacter spp. , it is essential to search for AmpC production (chromosomal and plasmid). In addition, the genotypic evaluation of beta-lactamase variety in these bacteria may be necessary in different geographical areas.

Developing a Standardized Medical Speech Recognition Database for Reconstructive Hand Surgery

Fast and holistic access to the patients’ clinical record is a major requirement of modern medical Decision Support Systems (DSS). While Electronic Health Records (EHRs) have replaced the traditional paper-based records in most healthcare organizations, the data entry into these systems remains largely manual. Speech recognition technology promises substitution of the more convenient speech-based data entry with currently laborious manual method in the near future. Developing effective Speech Recognition Systems (SRS) requires availability of standardized vocabulary databases. This study aimed at developing a medical speech recognition database for reconstructive hand surgery based on the Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine-Clinical Terms (SNOMEDCT). All codes related to hand problems were extracted from ICD-10. A sample of 2051 diagnosis codes was randomly selected from the patients’ records. The operation report paper sheets were transformed into electronic records. For each term, the SNOMED-CT was browsed to find the preferred synonym using CliniClue® Xplore Software. For some words with several number of synonyms, the preference of reconstructive surgery specialists was asked using a researcher-made questionnaire. Ultimately, the preferred words were substituted throughout each document and used for developing a database of standard nomenclature. The developed database was used in speech-based recording clinical data in reconstructive hand surgery operating room, and an accuracy of 81% in correct recording of clinical data was observed. Therefore, development of standard medical nomenclature databases can facilitate accurate electronic recording of medical data, and reduce the associated labor and cost posed by the current manual method.
Biogenesis of silver nanoparticles using leaf extract of Turnera ulmifolia Linn. and screening of their antimicrobial activity

Development of nontoxic and clean techniques for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) has attracted increasing attention in recent years. The biological synthesis of silver nanoparticles using Turnera ulmifolia plant leaf extract was studied in present investigation. The synthesized nanoparticles were confirmed by color changes from pale green to reddish brown and characterized by UV-Visible spectrophotometer. A peak between 415 nm to 425 nm was obtained on spectrometer characterized the biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles. The synthesized nanoparticles also showed antibacterial activity against four disease causing microorganisms.
Coupled rotational dynamics of Jupiter's thermosphere and magnetosphere

We describe an axisymmetric model of the cou- pled rotational dynamics of the thermosphere and magne- tosphere of Jupiter that incorporates self-consistent physical descriptions of angular momentum transfer in both systems. The thermospheric component of the model is a numerical general circulation model. The middle magnetosphere is de- scribed by a simple physical model of angular momentum transfer that incorporates self-consistently the effects of vari- ations in the ionospheric conductivity. The outer magneto- sphere is described by a model that assumes the existence of a Dungey cycle type interaction with the solar wind, pro- ducing at the planet a largely stagnant plasma flow pole- ward of the main auroral oval. We neglect any decoupling between the plasma flows in the magnetosphere and iono- sphere due to the formation of parallel electric fields in the magnetosphere. The model shows that the principle mech- anism by which angular momentum is supplied to the po- lar thermosphere is meridional advection and that mean-field Joule heating and ion drag at high latitudes are not responsi- ble for the high thermospheric temperatures at low latitudes on Jupiter. The rotational dynamics of the magnetosphere at radial distances beyond 30RJ in the equatorial plane are qualitatively unaffected by including the detailed dynam- ics of the thermosphere, but within this radial distance the rotation of the magnetosphere is very sensitive to the rota- tion velocity of the thermosphere and the value of the Peder- sen conductivity. In particular, the thermosphere connected to the inner magnetosphere is found to super-corotate, such that true Pedersen conductivities smaller than previously pre- dicted are required to enforce the observed rotation of the magnetosphere within 30RJ . We find that increasing the Joule heating at high latitudes by adding a component due to rapidly fluctuating electric fields is unable to explain the high equatorial temperatures. Adding a component of Joule heating due to fluctuations at low latitudes is able to explain the high equatorial temperatures, but the thermospheric wind systems generated by this heating cause super-corotation of the inner magnetosphere in contradiction to the observations. We conclude that the coupled model is a particularly useful tool for study of the thermosphere as it allows us to constrain the plausibility of predicted thermospheric structures using existing observations of the magnetosphere.
An Application of Fryszkowskis Selection Theorem to the Darboux Problem for Third Order Hyperbolic Inclusions

Abstract. In this paper we consider the Darboux Problem for a third order hyperbolic inclusion of the form uxyz ∈ F (x, y, z, u), where F : D × R n → 2 n , D = [0, a] × [0, b] × [0, c] ⊂ R is a lower semicontinuous multifunction, whose values are non-empty closed and not necessarily convex subsets of R. We prove an existence theorem of a local solution for the specified Darboux Problem using the Fryszkowski’s Selection Theorem and Schauder’s Fixed Point Theorem.
