Role Ambiguity, Role Conflict, Type A-B Behavior, Job Performance, and Psychosomatic Dysfunction

The main purpose of the· present study was to determine empirically whether differences in perceived role conflict, role ambiguity, and Type A proclivities are associated with differences i . n perceived psychosomatic dysfunction. Moreover, an ancillary purpose of the present study was to determine whether differences in perceived job performance were associated with Type . A-B tendencies and perceived role conflict and ambiguity. Data for 72 workers from all levels of two types of organizations (i.e., citizen protection and health) were obtained. All workers completed a role conflict and ambiguity measure, a 15-item self-report index of psychosomatic dysfunction, a 7-point measure of job performance, and the Jenkins Activi.ty Survey (Form C) which was designed to tap the Type A behavior pattern. On the basis of their health reports, workers we.re classified into one of the following two groups: (a) psychosomatic, and (2) uno 1 ' psychosomatic. In order to identify whether differences in vectors, comprised of measures of role conflict, role arnbi.guity, and Type A-B behavior, existed among' the two health groups, a discriminant function analysis was used. The only function extracted resulted in a Wilks' lambda of . 8625 (p<.Ol). Moreover, Type A-B behavior and role conflict were found to contribute . 798 and . 201 to unit variance, respectively. In order to determine whether differences in perceived job performance were associated with Type A-B tendencies and perceived role conflict . and ambiguity, two 3 x 2 fixed effects ANOVAs were performed. Significant main effects were found for role conflict (p<.OOS) and Type A-B behavior (p<.OS) and for role ambiguity (p<.OOl) and Type A-B behavior (p<.OS). Neither interaction term provedsignificant. In sum, the results indicate that differences in perceived stress, as defined by role confli.ct, and Type A proclivities are associated with differences in perceived psychosomatic dysfunction. Moreover, Type B persons' perceptions concerning their own job performance are more favorable than Type A persons' perceptions concerning their own job performance, and this holds regardless of the perceived intensity of the stressor. Finally, persons under perceived "moderate 11 levels of stressor intensity were found to have significantly more favorable perceptions concerning their own job performance, than those who were under either perceived 10W 11 or "highu levelsof stressor intensity. This relationship held regardless of Type A or Type B proclivities.
LDPI Working Paper 43. The drive for accumulation. Environmental contestation and agrarian support to Mexico’s oil palm expansion

Oil palm expansion has been related to rural dispossession, environmental degradation and rural resistance. This paper explores the politics and impact of farmer-based oil palm expansion in Chiapas, Mexico. In relation to the debate on the greening of the agrarian question, this paper engages with the theses of ‘environmentalism of the poor’ and ‘green grabbing’ and point at the problematic centrality of the concept of ‘enclosure’ in these theories. The authors argue that in absence of enclosure, poor peasants and farmers may strive for further market integration. Peasant engagement with capital accumulation in Mexico undermined green efforts to curb oil palm production. In this context, environmental movements were unsuccessful in contesting the state’s oil palm programme. This analysis suggests that a green agrarian question solely focusing on enclosure is unable to explain agrarian and environmental processes. - See more at: http://www.plaas. org.za/plaas-publication/ldpi-43#sthash.wacPmv3I. dpuf
Rayleigh wave tomography of the British Isles from ambient seismic noise

We present the first Rayleigh wave group speed maps of the British Isles constructed from ambient seismic noise. The maps also constitute the first surface wave tomography study of the crust under the British Isles at a relatively high resolution. We computed interferometric, interstation Rayleigh waves from vertical component records of ambient seismic noise recorded on 63 broad-band and short-period stations across the UK and Ireland. Group velocity measurements were made from the resulting surface wave dispersion curves between 5 and 25 s using a multiple phase-matched filter method. Uncertainties in the group velocities were computed by calculating the standard deviation of four dispersion curves constructed by stacking a random selection of daily cross-correlations. Where an uncertainty could not be obtained for a ray path using this method, we estimated it as a function of the interreceiver distance. Group velocity maps were computed for 5–25-s period using the Fast Marching forward solution of the eikonal equation and iterative, linearized inversion. At short and intermediate periods, the maps show remarkable agreement with the major geological features of the British Isles including: terrane boundaries in Scotland; regions of late Palaeozoic basement uplift; areas of exposed late Proterozoic/early Palaeozoic rocks in southwest Scotland, northern England and northwest Wales and, sedimentary basins formed during the Mesozoic such as the Irish Sea Basin, the Chester Basin, the Worcester Graben and the Wessex Basin. The maps also show a consistent low-velocity anomaly in the region of the Midlands Platform, a Proterozoic crustal block in the English Midlands. At longer periods, which are sensitive velocities in the lower crustal/upper mantle, the maps suggest that the depth of Moho beneath the British Isles decreases towards the north and west. Areas of fast velocity in the lower crust also coincide with areas thought to be associated with underplating of the lower crust such as Northern Ireland, the eastern Irish Sea and northwest Wales.
APLICADA Dynamics of sets of zero density

This thesis is devoted to the study of sets of zero density, both continuous inside R and discrete inside Z. Most of the arguments are combinatorial in nature. The interests are twofold. The first investigates arithmetic sums: given two subsets E,F of R or Z, what can be said about E+λF for most of the parameters λ ∈ R? The continuous case dates back to Marstrand. We give an alternative combinatorial proof of his theorem for the particular case of products of regular Cantor sets and, in the sequel, extend these techniques to give the proof of the general case. We also discuss Marstrand’s theorem in discrete spaces. More specifically, we propose a fractal dimension for subsets of the integers and establish a Marstrand type theorem in this context. The second interest is ergodic theoretical. It contains constructions of Zd-actions with prescribed topological and ergodic properties, such as total minimality, total ergodicity and total strict ergodicity. These examples prove that Bourgain’s polynomial pointwise ergodic theorem has not a topological version.
4 Enhanced Oil Recovery in Fractured Reservoirs

In this chapter oil recovery mechanisms in fractured reservoirs will be reviewed and discussed. Most attention will be devoted to experimental studies on fluid flow in fractured reservoirs and imaging techniques to visualize fluid flow in-situ. Special focus will be on complementary imaging in the laboratory, where important processes in fractured reservoirs are studied at different length scales over a range of 5 orders of magnitude. A solid understanding of the flow functions governing fluid flow in fractured reservoirs provides the necessary foundation for upscaling laboratory results to the field scale using numerical simulators. The fact that numerical models and reservoir simulators are based on observations from hydrocarbon producing field and laboratory tests demonstrates the need to study the same process at different length scales. It also illustrates the close link between experimental and numerical efforts and the need for interdisciplinary knowledge to constantly improve the representation of fractured reservoirs and the predications made.

Numerical Verification of Gallium Nitride Thin-Film Growth in a Large MOCVD Reactor

A numerical verification procedure and the effects of operating conditions in a large, vertical, and close-spaced reactor for metalorganic chemical vapor deposition are investigated through simulation and analysis. A set of epitaxy experiments are presented for verifying the growth rate of the gallium nitride (GaN) mechanism reported in our previous study. The full governing equations for continuity, momentum, energy, and chemical reaction are solved numerically. The results show that the real operating parameters (susceptor temperature: 1188 °C or 1238 °C; pressure: 100–300 torr) affect thin-film uniformity, and the predicted growth rates agree reasonably well with the experimental data, indicating the accuracy of the projected chemical reaction mechanisms.
De-roling from experiences and identities in virtual worlds

Within dramatherapy and psychodrama, the term ‘de-roling’ indicates a set of activities that assist the subjects of therapy in ‘disrobing’ themselves from their fictional characters. Starting from the psychological needs and the therapeutic goals that ‘de-roling’ techniques address in dramatherapy and psychodrama, this text provides a broader understanding of procedures and exercises that define and ease transitional experiences across cultural practices such as religious rituals and spatial design. After this introductory section, we propose a tentative answer as to why game studies and virtual world research largely ignored processes of ‘roling’ and ‘de-roling’ that separate the lived experience of role-play from our everyday sense of the self. The concluding sections argue that de-roling techniques are likely to become more relevant, both academically and in terms of their practical applications, with the growing diffusion of virtual technologies in social practices. The relationships we can establish with ourselves and with our surroundings in digital virtual worlds are, we argue, only partially comparable with similar occurrences in pre-digital practices of subjectification. We propose a perspective according to which the accessibility and immersive phenomenological richness of virtual reality technologies are likely to exacerbate the potentially dissociative effects of virtual reality applications. This text constitutes an initial step towards framing specific socio-technical concerns and starting a timely conversation that binds together dramatherapy, psychodrama, game studies, and the design of digital virtual worlds.
Quality of Literature Review and Discussion of Findings in Selected Papers on Integration of ICT in Teaching, Role of Mentors, and Teaching Science through Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).

The purposes of this study were to examine the extent to which literature was used to discuss findings in selected papers from Zimbabwe Journal, and to compare the quality of reviews in this journal with other international journals. The study was largely qualitative in nature and used convenient sampling. In the study, the Zimbabwe Journal was chosen because of easy access. Three papers were conveniently selected based on personal interest and areas previously studied. Content analysis was used to compare the quality of discussion of literature in the sampled papers. Findings suggest that authors cite relevant literature extensively in the background to the study but use the same literature sparingly in the discussion of their results. Further, in the discussion of findings, the use of literature was limited to confirming what was already known, and does not show how the new studies reported contribute to knowledge. The study concluded that the journal studied was failing to attract authors who write high quality papers. Perhaps the journal should broaden its brief and target an international audience, because at present as evident in the three cases cited, the journal can only reach out to practitioners within (Southern) Africa. Key words: Literature review, information and communications technology (ICT), mentoring, science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
kavangonensis , 2 novel species of Acidobacteria subdivision 4 isolated from semiarid savanna soil

Acidobacteria constitute an abundant fraction of the soil microbial community and are currently divided into 26 different subdivisions. Most cultivated Acidobacteria affiliate with subdivision 1, while only very few representatives of subdivisions 3, 4, 8, 10, and 23 have been isolated and described so far. Two novel isolates of Acidobacteria subdivision 4 were isolated from subtropical savanna soils and are characterized in the present work. Cells of strains A22_HD_4H and Ac_23_E3 were immotile rods that divided by binary fission. Colonies were pink and white in color, respectively. The two novel Acidobacteria strains A22_HD_4H and Ac_23_E3 were aerobic mesophiles with a broad range of tolerance towards pH (4.0-9.0 and 3.5-10.0, respectively) and temperature (15-44°C and 12-47°C, respectively). Both showed chemoorganoheterotrophic growth on some sugars, the amino sugar N-acetylgalactosamine, few amino acids, organic acids, and different complex protein substrates. Major fatty acids of A22_HD_4H and Ac_23_E3 were C15:0 iso, summed feature 1 (C13:0 3-OH/C15:1 iso H), summed feature 3 (C16:1 ω7c/C16:1 ω6c), and C17:0 anteiso. The major quinone was MK-8. In addition, MK-7 occurred in small amounts. The DNA G+C content of A22_HD_4H and Ac_23_E3 was 53.2 and 52.6 mol%, respectively. The closest described relative was Blastocatella fastidiosa A216 with a 16S rRNA gene sequence identity of 93.2 and 93.3%, respectively. Strains A22_HD_4H and Ac_23_E3 displayed a 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 97.4% to each other. According to the low DNA-DNA hybridization value, the two isolates represent two different species. Based on morphological, physiological, and molecular characteristics, the novel genus Aridibacter gen. nov., including two novel species, A. famidurans sp. nov. strain A22_HD_4H (= DSM 26555 = LMG27985) and A. kavangonensis sp. nov. strain Ac_23_E3 (= DSM 26558 = LMG 27597) are proposed.

STRAWBERRY FRUIT PRODUCTION AND QUALITY UNDER CONVENTIONAL, INTEGRATED AND ORGANIC MANAGEMENT

The aim of the present research was to study the effects of strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch) farm management (organic, conventional, and integrated) on fruit quality. Under the organic and integrated production system, the soil was supplemented with two organic amendments and was also inoculated with nitrogen fixing bacteria of the genus Azospirrillum and Azotobacter, right after planting. Plants were grown in pots in a glasshouse for a period of seven months. Fertilization begun two weeks after planting and the three farm managements were distinguished by the use of only chemical fertilizers (conventional), only organic ones (organic) or combination of the two former types of fertilizers (integrated), along with the prohibition (organic) or not (integrated, conventional) of pesticides. Two samplings took place; each one lasted approximately one month. During each sampling event the fruit weight, diameter, length, dry weight, color, firmness, titratable acidity, total soluble sugars and pH along with the antioxidant capacity of the juice (according to DPPH and FRAP assays) were measured. Based on the statistical analysis, there were not any significant differences between the three farming systems concerning pH, titratable acidity, firmness, color parameters, fruit diameter and length as well as mean fruit weight. Organically and integrated produced fruits presented higher values of total soluble solids. There was not any significant difference observed concerning the antioxidant capacity of the juice based on the DPPH assay, but FRAP assay revealed significant differences, as the integrated farm management resulted in significantly lower ferric reducing power of the juice produced, compared to the conventional and organic farm management. Fruit production was significantly higher under integrated farming system, while both organic and integrated farm managements resulted in the higher weight of fruits classified in Extra category. In conclusion, integrated management system resulted in the higher yield of high quality fruits.
Hospital Discharge and Primary Care Follow-Up Evaluation of Adverse Drug Events and Medication Discrepancies in Transitions of Care Between

Approximately two-thirds of adverse events posthospital discharge are due to medication-related problems. Medication reconciliation is a strategy to reduce medication errors and improve patient safety. Objective: To evaluate adverse drug events (ADEs), potential ADEs (pADEs), and medication discrepancies occurring between hospital discharge and primary care follow-up in an academic family medicine clinic. Adult patients recently discharged from the hospital were seen by a pharmacist for medication reconciliation between September 1, 2011, and November 30, 2012. The pharmacist identified medication discrepancies and pADEs or ADEs from a best possible medication history obtained from the electronic medical record (EMR) and hospital medication list. In43 study participants, an average of 2.9 ADEsorpADEs was identified (N1⁄4 124). Themost commonADEs/pADEs identified were nonadherence/underuse (18%), untreated medical problems (15%), and lack of therapeutic monitoring (13%). An average of 3.9 medication discrepancies per participant was identified (N1⁄4 171), with 81% of participants experiencing at least 1 discrepancy. The absence of a complete and accurate medication list at hospital discharge is a barrier to comprehensive medication management. Strategies to improve medication management during care transitions are needed in primary care.
Rationality and Emotions in Ultimatum Bargaining: Comment

Mr. Shmuel ZAMIR, who is renowned as both a game theorist, and an experimentalist, focused his lecture, given at the time of the First Annales Conference, on the correspondence existing between the proposals forwarded by non-cooperative game theory and the empirical results of work in experimental economics. More precisely, his objective has been to establish the conditions under which the use of experimental data can be made compatible, within the framework of non-cooperative game theory. From such a perspective, this article helps us nourish a debate in which SELTEN, one of the three 1995 Nobel Prize winners in Economics, sought to provide the conclusion by stating: Game theory is for proving theorems, not for playing games. SELTEN's position acknowledges the presence of a divide, which has been widely addressed in the recent literature and which can be illustrated in particular by the opposing points of view expressed by GUTH [2000] and WEIBULL [2000]:
SELECTIVITY OF SAFLUFENACIL APPLIED SINGLY AND IN COMBINATION WITH GLYPHOSATE ON COFFEE AND CITRUS CROPS

Saflufenacil is absorbed by the plant leaves and roots, thus the residual permanence of this herbicide can cause losses to the crop plants. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the selectivity of the saflufenacil herbicide, applied singly and in combination with glyphosate, on coffee and citrus plants grown in a sandy soil. Two experiments were implemented and conducted in completely randomized design with four replications. The chemical treatments consisted of three sequential applications, with directed spraying of saflufenacil at rates of 0.035, 0.07 and 0.105 kg a.i. ha, glyphosate at rate of 2.160 kg a.e. ha, the two herbicides combined at the same rates, and a control without chemical treatment. The saflufenacil applied singly and in combination with glyphosate was selective for coffee and citrus plants, which presented no visual toxicity symptoms. The sequential application of saflufenacil, singly and in combination with glyphosate did not affect the growth of coffee and citrus plants. The saflufenacil has potential for use, in combination with glyphosate on controlling many weed species in coffee and citrus areas without any interference on the development of these species.
Evolutionary Action Score of TP 53 Coding Variants ( EAp 53 ) is Predictive of Platinum Response in Head and Neck Cancer Patients

TP53 is the most frequently altered gene in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) with mutations occurring in over two third of cases, however, the predictive response of these mutations to cisplatin based therapy remains elusive. In the current study, we evaluate the ability of the Evolutionary Action score of TP53 coding variants (EAp53) to predict the impact of TP53 mutations on response to chemotherapy. The EAp53 approach clearly identifies a subset of high risk TP53 mutations associated with decreased sensitivity to cisplatin both in vitro and in vivo in Corresponding Author: Jeffrey N.
