Careers of women physicians. Choices and constraints.

During the past 20 years there has been a striking demographic shift in American medicine. After a half century of constituting 5 % of the physician population, women will soon make up nearly a third of American physicians. Women now practice in virtually every medical specialty. This enormous change has created both opportunities and tensions. Individual preferences combine with social and cultural incentives and constraints to determine the career choices of women physicians. Within the broader context of the changing role of women in American society, women physicians are exploring new career paths-paths that are both similar to and different from those of their male colleagues. We review the literature about women physicians in an effort to understand how they are responding to the current environment.
The Association of Knowledge Management, Organization Culture, and Innovation with Organizational Performance: A Case at Study Institute Research XYZ

The purpose of this study was to analyze the impact of variable mediation knowledge management innovation in relation to organizational performance and analyze the impact of innovation on the relationship mediating variables of organizational culture on an organi­zation. Population performers in this study were employees of XYZ. Collecting data in this study was conducted using the questionnaire method. Data analysis method used in this study is Partial Least Squares is a powerful method of analysis because it does not assume the data must use a certain scale and can use a small sample. The results showed that (1) knowledge management influence on innovation; (2) The effect on the organizational culture of innovation; (3) Knowledge Management of an effect on the performance of the organi­zation; (4) The organizational culture influence on organizational performance (5) innovation does not affect the performance of the organization, (6) the innovation did not mediate the relationship of knowledge management to organizational performance; (5) innovation does not mediate the relationship of organizational culture on organizational performance. Results obtained interviews innovation does not affect the performance of the organization for their gaps and differences in perception between the authority and powers of innovation, so that innovation is always dependent on the individual who is willing to turn these innovations.
Does Active Portfolio Management Create Value? An Evaluation of Fund Managers' Decisions

In this paper, I obtain new measures of the value of active portfolio management by forming replicating portfolios. These measures allow for a separate evaluation of fund managers' strategic and tactical decisions. I also obtain new evidence on the value of trading by decomposing it into long-term trading decisions, short-term trading decisions, and trading that is the result of regulatory restrictions. Overall, the evidence supports the value of active portfolio management and that the average fund manager creates value for its investors. Moreover, the results show a positive relation between the value created and trading activity.
Validating Key Results Linkages in the Baldrige Performance Excellence Model

The Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award Criteria for Performance Excellence represent a framework for high-performance management systems. Although the criteria have evolved based on the collective wisdom of quality experts and management practitioners throughout the United States, little empirical research has been performed to validate the criteria and its core concepts and values. One of the key linkages in the criteria is the relationship between external results and internal performance metrics, which reflect the processes and management systems that drive results in an organization. The authors use a large empirical data set to explore these linkages, and apply canonical correlation to uncover significant relationships between variables, such as between employee satisfaction and process performance, and between work system improvement and productivity. These results: 1) validate some of the key linkages; 2) support long-standing beliefs and anecdotal evidence by practitioners of the relationships among endogenous and exogenous results for business performance; and 3) lend credibility to causal hypotheses that improving internal management practices leads to improvements in external results. As such, they provide new evidence of the validity of the Baldrige model and its examination/self-assessment process that seeks to validate strong business results as an outcome of high-performance management practices.
Transcriptional regulation of the Chlamydia heat shock stress response in an intracellular infection

Bacteria encode heat shock proteins that aid in survival during stressful growth conditions. In addition, the major heat shock proteins of the intracellular bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis have been associated with immune pathology and disease. We developed a ChIP‐qPCR method to study the regulation of chlamydial heat shock gene regulation during an intracellular infection. This approach allowed us to show that chlamydial heat shock genes are regulated by the transcription factor HrcA within an infected cell, providing validation for previous in vitro findings. Induction of chlamydial heat shock gene expression by elevated temperature was due to loss of HrcA binding to heat shock promoters, supporting a mechanism of derepression. This heat shock response was rapid, whereas recovery of HrcA binding and return to non‐stress transcript levels occurred more slowly. We also found that control of heat shock gene expression was differentially regulated over the course of the intracellular Chlamydia infection. There was evidence of HrcA‐mediated regulation of heat shock genes throughout the chlamydial developmental cycle, but the level of repression was lower at early times. This is the first study of Chlamydia‐infected cells showing the effect of an environmental signal on transcription factor‐DNA binding and target gene expression in the bacterium.
Analysis of ras gene mutations in biliary and pancreatic tumors by polymerase chain reaction and direct sequencing

Ras gene is one of the oncegenes most commonly detected in human cancers and consists of three families (H‐ras, K‐ras, N‐ras) that are converted to active oncogenes by point mutations occurring in codon 12, 13, or 61. The authors analyzed mutations of these codons in 12 extrahepatic bile duct carcinomas, nine gallbladder carcinomas, and 20 pancreatic tumors (18 pancreatic adenocarcinomas and two islet cell tumors) by a method to directly sequence nucleotides, using polymerase chain reaction and a direct sequencing method. Point mutations at K‐ras codon 12 were found in all of 18 pancreatic adenocarcinomas and in one bile duct carcinoma, but there were no mutations in the remaining 11 bile duct carcinomas, in all of 9 gallbladder carcinomas, or in two islet cell tumors. A very high incidence of ras gene mutations may be used clinically for the diagnosis of debatable cases of pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
Malnutrition among Infant Children in Mygoma Orphanage Centre, Khartoum, Sudan

a study was conducted on Malnutrition among Infant Children in Mygoma Orphanage Centre, Khartoum, Sudan. The objectives of the study were to measure the prevalence of malnutrition and to identify the relationship between some factors and malnutrition. Anthropometric measurements were conducted on all the children (182) in the centre. The prevalence of malnutrition was 37.4%. Severe malnutrition was found in 12(17.7%) of malnourished children, moderate malnourished were 26(38.2%) and mild malnourished were 30(44.1%). Malnutrition was associated with age (p value=0.001) and place of birth (odds ratio=5.1, 95% confidence interval=2.4-10.9). Age of child and presence of diarrhoea were associated with malnutrition. The role of mother and family in nutritional status needs to be more investigated.
Timing Fluctuations Due to Beam Steering in Prism-Compensated Kerr-Lens Mode-Locked Lasers

Variation in the round-trip group delay through an intracavity prism pair is studied as a function of index variation in the gain medium. The resulting sensitivity to index perturbation gives insight into the degree to which pump noise will transfer to timing instability through this mechanism. General expressions for group-delay time change and slope are derived. It is found that thermal and nonlinear index changes in the gain crystal result in group-delay time sensitivities of 4.34 × 10<sup>-17</sup> s/K and 1.25 × 10<sup>- 26</sup> s·cm<sup>2</sup>/W, respectively, for a conventional 100-MHz Kerr-lens mode-locked laser. For a nominal temperature fluctuation of 1 K and a peak intensity variation of 5 × 10<sup>8</sup> W/m<sup>2</sup>, this implies round-trip timing variation of 5 × 10<sup>-17</sup> s, which is very small, but not insignificant in today's clock technology.

Heterologous Expression and Functional Characterization of Matrix Metalloproteinase-11 From Canine Mammary Tumor

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are reported to be involved in tumor growth, apoptosis, angiogenesis, invasion, and development of metastases. These are zinc containing metalloproteases, known for their role in extracellular matrix degradation. MMP-11 (stromelysin3) is reported to be highly expressed in breast cancer, therefore it may act as marker enzyme for breast cancer progression. The present work was carried out to produce recombinant canine (Canis lupus familiaris) MMP-11 lacking the signal and propeptide in E. coli by optimizing its expression and purification in biologically active form and to functionally characterize it. A bacterial protein expression vector pPROEX HTc was used. The MMP-11 mature peptide encoding gene was successfully cloned and expressed in E. coli and the purified recombinant enzyme was found to be functionally active. The recombinant enzyme exhibited caseinolytic activity and could be activated by Trypsin and 4-Amino phenyl mercuric acetate (APMA). However Ethylene diamine tertra acetate (EDTA) inhibited the enzyme's caseinolytic activity. The recombinant enzyme degraded extracellular matrix constituents and facilitated migration of MDCK (Madin-Darby canine kidney) cells through BD Biocoat Matrigel invasion chambers. These results suggest that in vivo MMP-11 could play a significant role in the turnover of extracellular matrix constituents.
Board Characteristics, Audit Committee and Audit Quality: The Case of Indonesia

The purpose of this research is to examine the relationship between board size, number of non-executive directors, the financial expertise of the non-executive directors representing the audit committee and the audit quality.Data from non-financial firms listed in the Indonesian Stock Exchange have been used. To achieve the research objectives, we have used the logit regression. The data of 121 listed firms in a five-year period from 2012 to 2016 is collected from the printed audit accounts available on companies‘ websites. The emergence of corporate governance phenomena has brought upon many structural changes in firms‘ governance structure such as the audit committee role and the audit quality.The second decade which starts with the warmth of subprime crisis has seen a significant development in the code of corporate governance. The role of the audit committee is now significant and being recognized as the solution of prevention of internal fraud.The findings of the study have shown that in non-financial firms listed in the Indonesian Stock Exchange audit committee and board characteristics have significant effect on audit quality. This study will be helpful for students, auditors, policymakers and researchers to understand the impact of corporate governance in audit quality.
Lifestyle Change of Female Farmers through CPEC’s Coal Power Plant Project Initiative

This paper focuses on the impact to women engaged in agriculture in relation to the construction of Sahiwal Coal Power Plant project in Qadirabad, Punjab, Pakistan. The power plant was developed as part of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) initiative. This plant was built on private [agricultural] lands. This study relies on data collected via a field survey, judgmental sampling, and case study methods. Observations and data collected surface the changing occupational roles of women, who, prior to the development of the coal plant had been employed primarily as agricultural workers. A noted adjustment of female labor to domestic service and tailoring surface not only the occupational impact of the development of the coal powered plant, but also the relationship between the plant’s construction and occupational opportunity, lifestyle, status, and social power dynamics as it relates to women.

Sustaining Livelihoods: An Analysis of Dryland Communities in West Timor, Indonesia

What enables a community to cope with stress, to recover from trauma, and to provide the next generation with the opportunity for a sustainable livelihood? What makes a community vulnerable to, and lack the capacity to sustain livelihoods? This thesis is a case study of three subsistence communities in semi-arid West Timor, Indonesia, that belong to the Atoin Meto tribal group. While climatic hazards can leave a community vulnerable, there are other underlying factors, particularly in rural West Timor, where the societal structure has failed to protect all members of the society adequately. This thesis seeks to understand the problem of what causes vulnerability to the livelihood of these communities in the era of global warming, and why their societal structure is unable to protect all members adequately in this circumstance. Since the aftermath of WWII, the welfare of the rural poor in developing countries has not substantially improved (Griffin & Khan 1978; Streeten 1984; Chambers 1995) exacerbated by environmental and developmental problems which have arisen due to the disconnections between the policy makers, the rural poor and their environment (Agarwal & Narain 1985). In the era of global warming, communities in rural drylands will be the most vulnerable group (Solomon et al. 2007; Fraser et al. 2011). A critical assessment is therefore needed to discover the real problems experienced in rural dryland regions in order to empower the local people and support their livelihoods in the future.
Latinas/os and Immigration Reform: A Commentary to "Crossroads: The Psychology of Immigration in the New Century"—The Report of the APA Presidential Task Force on Immigration

As immigration reform discussions reach a fever-pitch in Washington, DC, Dr. Melba J. T. Vasquez and the APA Presidential Task Force on Immigration released their report, Crossroads: The Psychology of Immigration in the New Century. Vasquez was the first Latina and first woman of color to be president of the American Psychological Association, and we commend her for commissioning this Task Force as part of her presidential initiatives. We also note the contributions of J. Manuel Casas to the report, as he is a member of the National Latina/o Psychological Association. This report is an important step for psychologists as we continue to balance the dialogues and discourse around immigration today in the United States. The report aims to describe the demography and experiences of immigrants and second-generation individuals, and takes a balanced approach in highlighting the strengths of this population and their contributions, as well as identifying key challenges, including issues of xenophobia, discrimination, and educational and clinical service limitations that adequately address their unique needs. The report underscores the importance of social, political, and economic contexts as a backdrop to understanding the challenges of immigrant communities, and provides a framework for reducing the educational, research, and applied disparities within psychology. Although the Task Force’s report focuses on all immigrant communities, this commentary highlights specific aspects that address the processes associated with Latina/o communities, while also identifying specific issues that warrant further consideration.
The effect of board composition on auditor's risk assessment in Nigeria

This study examines the link between outside directors and audit fees.The study used data from 94 non-financial-listed companies on the Nigerian Stock Exchange from 2008 to 2013.The study used cross-sectional time-series feasible generalized least squares (FGLS) regression, which explains heteroscedasticity and autocorrelation in testing the effect of non-independent non-executive directors and independent non-executive directors on auditor pricing decisions in Nigeria.Our result indicates that the proportion of non-independent non-executive directors on boards has a negative relationship with audit fees, whereas the proportion of independent non-executive directors has a positive relationship with audit fees. Further analysis reveals that block shareholding moderates the effect between outside directors and audit fees. These findings have both policy and practical implications on corporate governance. For instance, future regulatory reforms can consider collaborative board models instead of the insistence on more independent director presence in the boardroom.Copyright of Asia-Pacific Management Accounting Journal is the property of Universiti Teknologi Mara Represented by Accounting Research Institute and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

CHARACTERIZATION OF NEWCASTLE DISEASE ANTIBODY RESPONSE AND SOME RELATED PERFORMANCE INDICATORS OF TWO LOCAL SAUDI CHICKEN LINES AND TWO CROSS LINES DURING THE REARING PERIOD

The present study was conducted to assess antibody response against Newcastle disease (ND) vaccination of one hundred and sixty female chicks represented equally two local Saudi chicken lines Hajar 1 and Hajar 2, In addition to crossbreed HiH1, and HiH2 lines during the rearing period from four to 16 wk of age. Body weight (BW), hemoglobin concentration (Hb) and hematocrit percent (Ht) were evaluated as accompany performance indicators. The chicks were housed in a cage housing system and fed commercial rations. Birds were received identical vaccination program. Body weights were recorded for all birds individually at 4,8,12, and 16 weeks of age. Blood samples were collected in both heparinized and plain tubes at 4, 8, 12, and 16 weeks of age. Circular micro-capillary tube reader was used to evaluate Ht values. Haemoglobin concentrations were determined through cyanomet hemoglobin method. ND antibody titers were assayed using Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) kit. The two crossbreed lines showed superior body weight, especially starting from the 8th week of age while HiH2 and Hajar2 lines showed higher ND titers than Hajar1 and HiH1 lines. Hb values were significantly higher for Hajar1 and Hajar2 lines. Ht did not show differences among the chicken lines at any measuring point. The diverse genetic background of the birds is a key role in shaping the cross line birds' immune capacity against ND. The superior body weight of the cross lines is not necessarily an indicator of their immune response tendency.
