Introduction: At the Intersection of Organizations and Occupations

Excerpt] The lack of research and, by extension, the paucity of empirically grounded theory on organizations and occupations have left unanswered questions that are critical for understanding the social organization of work in post-industrial economies. Under what conditions are organizations likely to bureaucratize professional tasks? What types of tasks are most likely to be affected by such bureaucratization and how do occupations adjust to such changes? Conversely, what forces have transformed organizations into breeding grounds for new occupations? How are organizations affected when they employ large numbers of professionals? What dynamics occur when the boundaries between occupation and organization begin to blur? Questions such these are grist for the papers in this volume. Our aim in assembling the papers has been to stimulate researchers and theoreticians to examine more closely the intersection between organizations and occupations. Like the authors of these papers, we believe that it is no longer wise for organizational and occupational sociology to develop as independent areas of theory and research. In fact, to continue to do so may mean that our understanding of the workplace will become increasingly unrealistic.
ffects of slow-release urea and molasses on ruminal etabolism of lambs fed with low-quality tropical forage

The effects of two sources of slow-release urea (SRU) with a source of soluble carbohydrates on ruminal fermentation in lambs fed with a low-quality forage hay were evaluated. Optigen is a commercial source of slow-release urea, whereas Surelease is an ethyl cellulose-coated urea prepared in the Laboratorio de Farmacotecnia at the Metropolitan Autonomous University. Five Pelibuey lambs cannulated in the rumen and duodenum (24.8 ± 0.4 kg BW) were used in a Latin Square design. Lambs were fed a basal diet that consisted of Brachiaria brizantha hay and concentrate (ratio 67:33) with the following treatments: (1) feed-grade urea; (2) Surelease-coated urea (SRU-S); (3) SRU-S + molasses; (4) SRU Optigen (OPT); and (5) OPT + molasses. All sources of urea were dosed daily intra-ruminally (0.6 g/kg/BW), and molasses was fed at 1.2 g/kg BW. Compared to feed-grade urea, both sources of SRU low-release urea decreased ruminal pH between 3 and 6 h after dosing (P < 0.05). At 3 and 9 h after dosing and at 15 and 21 h, both sources of slow-release urea reduced the rumen ammonia compared to urea (P < 0.05). The two sources of slow-release urea did not improve the total tract or rumen digestibility of dry matter (DM) and neutral detergent fiber (NDF) or the rate of microbial protein synthesis in growing lambs fed low quality forage.
The Influence of Corporate Governance Perception Index, Managerial Ownership, Government Ownership, and Sales Growth on Cost of Debt (Study in Non-Financial Companies Listed on IDX Year 2011-2014)

This study aims to determine the influence of corporate governance perception index, managerial ownership, government ownership, and sales growth to cost of debt. The samples of this study are the non-financial companies listed on IDX (Indonesian Stock Exchange) year 2011-2014. The Samples are collected using purposive sampling method and resulted 36 units of analysis as the final samples. The analytical method used is multiple linear regression analysis. The results of this study indicated that corporate governance perception index, managerial ownership, government ownership, and sales growth simultaneously influence the cost of debt. Partially, the research shows that corporate governance perception index, government ownership, and sales growth do not influence the cost debt. Meanwhile, the managerial ownership has positive significant influence on cost of debt.
Geochemistry and tectonic setting of mafic rocks in western Dronning Maud Land, East Antarctica: implications for the geodynamic evolution of the Proterozoic Maud Belt

On the basis of new bulk major and trace element (including REE) as well as Sm–Nd and Rb–Sr isotope data, used in conjunction with available geochronological data, a post-tectonic mafic igneous province and four groups of pre- to syntectonic amphibolite are distinguished in the polymetamorphic Maud Belt of western Dronning Maud Land, East Antarctica. Protoliths of the Group 1 amphibolites are interpreted as volcanic arc mafic intrusions with Archaean to Palaeoproterozoic Nd model ages and depletion in Nb and Ta. Isotopic and lithogeochemical characteristics of this earliest group of amphibolite indicate that the Maud Belt was once an active continental volcanic arc. The most likely position of this arc, for which a late Mesoproterozoic age (c. 1140 Ma) is indicated by available U–Pb single-zircon age data, was on the southeastern margin of the Kaapvaal–Grunehogna Craton. The protoliths of Group 2 amphibolites are attributed to the 1110 Ma Borgmassivet–Umkondo thermal event on the basis of comparable Nd model ages and trace element distributions. Group 3 amphibolite protoliths are characterized by mid-ocean ridge basalt-type REE patterns and low Th/Yb ratios, and they are related to Neoproterozoic extension. Group 4 amphibolite protoliths are distinguished by high Dy/Yb ratios and are attributed to a phase of syntectonic Pan-African magmatism as indicated by Rb–Sr isotope data.

Pollination by fungus gnats in four species of the genus Mitella (Saxifragaceae)

The first example of pollination by fungus gnats in the eudicots is reported. The genus Mitella (Saxifragales) is characteristically produces minute, inconspicuous, mostly dull-coloured flowers with linear, sometimes pinnately branched, petals. To understand the function of these characteristic flowers, we studied the pollination biology of four Mitella species with different floral traits and different sexual expression: dioecious M. acerina , gynodioecious M. furusei var. subramosa , and hermaphroditic M. stylosa var. makinoi and M. integripetala. Flower-bagging experiments showed that wind pollination did not occur in the dioecious and gynodioecious species. Two years of observations of flower visitors at six study sites in Japan revealed that the principal pollinators of all four Mitella were specific species of fungus gnats (Mycetophilidae), which landed on the flowers with their long spiny legs settling on the petals. Characteristically, numerous pollen grains were attached to the fungus gnats in specific locations on the body. Although, on average, 1.3‐2.6 fungus gnats visited each inflorescence per day, the fruit set of both bisexual and female flowers exceeded 63%. These results suggest that fungus gnats are highly efficient pollinators of Mitella spp. , and that Mitella flowers are morphologically adapted to pollination by fungus gnats. © 2004 The Linnean Society of London, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society , 2004, 144 , 449‐460.
Co-Relation Between Determination Of Skeletal Maturation Using Cervical Vertebrae And Dental Calcification Stages

Assessment of skeletal maturity and dental development is a common clinical practice in many health professions especially for age estimation in forensic sciences and for growth modification in orthodontics & dentofacial orthopedics. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between the calcification stages of various teeth and skeletal maturity stages using cervical vertebrae among Indians individuals. The study subjects consisted of 46 male subjects and 54 female subjects ranging in age from 9 to 18 years. A total of 100 dental panoramic radiographs and lateral cephalograms were obtained and analyzed. Calcification stages of the mandibular dentition (canines, first premolars, second premolars, second molars and third molars) were rated according to the system of Demirjian. Skeletal age and skeletal maturity stages [cervical vertebrae maturity indicators-(CVMI)] were determined by using the method of Hasal and Farman. Statistically significant relationships were determined between dental calcification and skeletal maturity stages according to Spearman rank-order correlation coefficients. Correlations between dental development and skeletal maturity ranged from 0.403 to 0.758 for males and 0.419 to 0.811 for females (P <0 .01). The second molar showed the highest correlation and the third molar showed the lowest correlation for male and female subjects. Stage F of tooth calcification corresponded to onset of PHV (stage 2 of CVMI) & Stage G of tooth calcification in canine; first premolar and second molar (except for second premolars in males) corresponded to peak of pubertal growth spurt (stage 3 of CVMI). Root formation of the canine as well as the first premolar was completed in the majority of the subjects at stage 5 of CVMI. For all the teeth except third molar root formation was completed at stage 6 of CVMI. Because of the high correlation coefficients, this study suggests that tooth calcification stages from panoramic radiograph (which is a routine diagnostic radiograph for orthodontic treatment) may be clinically useful as a maturity indicator and in age estimation.
Formulation of a three dimensional analytical solution to evaluate stresses in backfilled vertical narrow openings

The mechanical response of backfill in narrow openings is significantly influenced by its interaction with the surrounding walls. Previous work conducted on backfilled trenches and mining stopes indicates that the theory of arch- ing can be used to estimate earth pressures in narrow, vertical backfilled openings. In this paper, a 3D analytical solu- tion is proposed to evaluate the state of stress along the boundaries of the openings. The proposed solution, based on a generalized version of the Marston approach, is compared with numerical modeling and laboratory experimental results taken from the literature. A discussion follows on some particular features and limitations of the analytical solutions.
Syddansk Universitet ' EMU equity markets ' return variance and spill over effects from short-term interest

This paper examines the spillover effects from the short term interest rates market to equity markets within the Euro area. The empirical study is carried out by estimating an extended Markov Switching GJR in mean model with a Bayesian based Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methodology. The result indicates that stock markets in the Euro area display a significant two regimes with distinct characteristics. Within a bear market regime, stock returns have a negative relationship with the volatility, and the volatility process responds asymmetrically to negative shocks of equity returns. The other regime appears to be a bull market regime, within which the returns have a positive relationship with the volatility, and the volatility is lower and more persistent. We find also that there is a significant impact of fluctuations in the short term interest rate on the conditional variance and conditional returns in the EMU countries. Such impact is asymmetrical, and it appears to be stronger in the bear market and when interest rate changes upward. JEL classification : C10, C11, C13, G12, G19 .

Disruption of estrus and conception in the acute phase of Fasciola gigantica infections in Yankasa ewes

The effect of the hepatic migratory phase of Fasciola gigantica infections on estrus response to synchronization, conception rates, serum enzyme and biochemical changes in Yankasa ewes was investigated. Twelve adult Yankasa ewes were randomly assigned to one of two groups of 6 animals each. The ewes in Group 1 were each infected with 1,200 metacercaria of F. gigantica each while Group 2 served as non infected controls for the study. The ewes in both groups were then synchronized for estrus at 7 weeks post infection (WPI), and intact rams were introduced for heat detection and breeding. Pregnancy was confirmed by progesterone levels and non-return to estrus 21 days post breeding. Estrus response was 66.6 and 100% in infected and controls, respectively, but all infected animals returned to estrus by 42 days post breeding, indicating conception failure or an early embryonic death. Pathophysiological signs included anorexia, progressive anemia, emaciation and significant hypoproteinemia. Hepatic dysfunction was indicated by the significant increases in liver enzymes; aspartate amino transferase, alanine amino transferase and alkaline phosphatase levels in infected ewes and at post mortem hepatic fibrosis of the liver with intra-hepatic hemorrhage was observed. It is concluded that fasciolosis has an adverse effect on conception and establishment of the fetus in the acute migratory phase. Key words: Fasciola gigantica, estrus, conception, ewes, productivity, Nigeria.
Cultural and Physiological Characterization of Phytophthora parasitica causing Foot Rot of Betelvine (Piper betle L.)

The fungus seems to have a poor competitive saprophytic ability and this contributes to the lack of success in isolating and growing of P. parasitica in an artificial medium. In order to culture the fungi in the laboratory, it is necessary to supplement suitable medium, temperature, pH and essential elements (carbon and nitrogen) need for growth and other metabolic processes. Hence, different media, temperature, pH, relative humidity, carbon and nitrogen sources were tried in the Betelvine (Piper betel L.) is an important horticulture crop of commercial values and belongs to family Piperaceae. Betelvine is mainly grown under moist and humid shade conditions, which makes the crop more prone to many diseases. Among them foot rot caused by Phytophthora parasitica is a major one and leads to total crop loss. The mycelia of the fungus grew satisfactorily on the entire agar media used. Maximum radial growth of the pathogen was recorded on czapeck-dox agar after eight days of incubation. The optimum temperature for the mycelial growth of the fungus was observed at 20 o C followed by 25 o C and the least growth at 40 o C. The maximum mycelial dry weight of the pathogen was recorded at a pH 8 followed by pH 7. The result with respect to effect of relative humidity showed that maximum mycelial dry weight of P. parasitica at 90% followed by 85% and the least was noticed at 60%. Amongst the carbon sources supplemented, L-asparagine, was best utilized with the highest mycelia dry weight and the least was recorded in calcium carbonate. Whereas with respect to nitrogen sources the maximum mycelial dry weight was recorded in potassium nitrate and the least in ammonium phosphate. K e y w o r d s
Do Firms Smooth Their Dividends Over Time? Evidence from the Johannesburg Stock Exchange

Abstract This study examines dividend payout policies and the appropriateness of Lintner’s dividend smoothing model on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) listed firms. The ordinary least squares method is used to analyze the data using annual data from 1995 to 2011. The study found that the dividend smoothing model slightly overstates the payout ratio by two percent. The median long-run target payout ratio was found to be 40.76 percent compared to the actual payout ratio of 38.73 percent. The median speed of adjustment coefficient was 72.61 percent suggesting that firms partially adjust their dividends over time. The study concludes that despite the reduction in the number of dividend-paying firms in South Africa, the dividend smoothing model can be used to predict firms’ target payout ratios. This has implications for equity investors who rely on dividends for achieving their investment objectives.
Reflective practice in initial teacher training: critiques and perspectives

Although reflective practice is now a key competency in many teacher training programs, the theoretical grounding remains problematic and the empirical approaches diverse. With the aim of advancing our understanding of the limitations of reflective practice in initial teacher training, this article draws a critical portrait of reflective practice in terms of theory, practice and methodology based on a review of the literature. We conclude by underscoring the need for a shared terminology and definition for reflective practice in initial training programs; currently, the lack of a clear concept hinders its operationalization in teacher training and its development in empirical research.
Effects of L1 Co-activation on the Processing of L2 Morpho-syntax in German-Speaking Learners of English

It is generally assumed in generative SLA that properties of the L1 grammar influence, at least to some extent, grammatical representation of the L2, especially at initial stages of acquisition. We adopt the Full Transfer (Schwartz & Sprouse, 1996) model in assuming that the initial state of L2 knowledge is in fact identical to the final state of L1 knowledge. Development of the L2 grammar then depends on parsing of input. Mismatches between the input and the current state of grammatical knowledge motivate change in L2 representations in order to license grammatical parses of the target language. The L1 grammar, however, acts as a potentially serious obstacle in the process of L2 development as there are cases where the “current grammar may appear to accommodate the L2 input adequately” (White, 2003: 268). This raises interesting questions about how L1 grammatical knowledge may potentially be deployed in online L2 sentence processing. One way of adapting the Full Transfer model to sentence processing is to assume simultaneous co-activation of L1 and L2 grammatical properties during L2 processing (see Sharwood Smith & Truscott, 2006 for a discussion of such an approach within their MOGUL framework). However, the extent and nature of any cross-linguistic grammatical influence in L2 processing is contentious. For example, Clahsen & Felser (2006) propose that non-native processing involves only shallow syntactic representations. If L2 processing involves significantly less syntactic detail than native language processing, this precludes any role for the L1 syntax in L2 sentence processing. By contrast, the Competition Model (Bates & MacWhinney, 1982) assumes, in common with FT, that transfer plays a crucial role in second language acquisition. Unlike FT, however, the Competition Model assumes an emergentist, connectionist model of language development without any independent level of abstract syntactic representation. Recent work on bilingual processing has suggested that bilinguals may indeed co-activate syntactic properties of the non-attended-to language even when functioning in a monolingual mode (Vaughan-Evans et al, 2014; Sanoudaki & Thierry, 2014). In the work presented here, we investigate whether transfer during L2 sentence comprehension is affected by co-activation of L1 syntax by examining how native speakers of German process number agreement in English wh-questions. The paper is organized as follows: the next section discusses studies of syntactic co-activation in L2 processing. Section 3 then surveys the relevant properties of German and English which are investigated in the experiments outlined in Section 4. Section 5 discusses the results in light of models of grammatical transfer.
Trade and plant level productivity gains: Role of Import Liberalisation, Technological Spillovers and Variety Growth in Indian Manufacturing

How does trade liberalization impact productivity at the micro level in the economy? Using a panel data of Indian manufacturing plants for the period 1998-99 to 2007-08 this study examines the mechanisms through which trade impacts productivity growth at the production level in the economy. These mechanisms include trade induced pro-competitive effect, technological spillovers and import & export variety growth. We use two estimation techniques and find significant impact of these mechanisms in driving plant level productivity growth. Our study also looks into the role of various plant level characteristics (like plant age, skill intensity & contract labour ratio) and state level institutional factors in influencing these micro level productivity gains.
Hypersonic laminar/turbulent transition: computations and experiments

In order to predict the laminar/turbulent transition on a hypersonic vehicle forebody at Mach numbers 4 and 6, the three-dimensional (3D) modal linear stability analysis is applied, coupled with the e N method. Nevertheless, N factors are unknown for wind tunnel conditions. Experimental investigations have been carried out on a flat plate in the blowdown wind tunnel T-313 of ITAM RAS (Novosibirsk). At M∞ = 2 to 6, the position of laminar/turbulent transition was measured by both Pitot tube and thermocouples. Then, stability analysis allows computing N factors at transition on the flat plate: they are about 3 ∼ 4, typical of conventional wind tunnels. These flat plate correlations can then be used to predict the transition on the forebody in the same wind tunnel. Experiments for the forebody are currently in progress and will allow checking the predicted transition location.
Understanding Behavior and Needs of Halal Tourism in Andaman Gulf of Thailand: A Case of

It is recognized that tourism industry is playing a vital role in contributing to economic development and sustaining employment, in both advanced and developing economies. Thus, various strategies have been launched to increase competitiveness of tourism industry. Attract a new market segment is one among other strategies for tourism business. Muslim tourist is the large niche market for tourism industry. Thus, the knowledge about Muslim tourist' behavior and needs are highly needed for tourism business sectors to develop, promote and sell tourism products that suit to the unique needs of this new market. Therefore, this study examines the Asian Muslim tourist's behavior and needs at Andaman Gulf of Thailand. A convenience sampling technique is utilized. Face-to-face interviews by using structured questionnaire are employed to elicit responses from 280 Asian Muslim tourist of Andaman Gulf, Thailand. The findings of this research reveal that seeing and experiencing a foreign destination is the main reason for visiting Andaman Gulf of Thailand. Internet is the major source of tourism information. The most popular theme of trip is Sun and Sea. Majority of tourist hired a car and travel with family. They demonstrated high needs towards the placement of Qibla stickers/ direction towards Makkah city in hotel room, availability of Halal sigh at Halal restaurant, and availability of Mosque. Thus, the results from this study provide useful information for policy makers and business mangers in formulating the strategy and program to enhance Halal tourism potential in Andaman Gulf of Thailand. 
