Creativity Transformational Leadership , Workgroup Diversity , and Employee A Workgroup Climate Perspective on the Relationships Among

Previous research on the effects of workgroup diversity and workgroup functioning and outcomes has produced mixed results. We address these inconsistencies by proposing a model that considers the effects of both transformational leadership and workgroup climate on one workgroup outcome believed particularly relevant to diversity: employee creativity. Multilevel analyses of 172 individuals working in 31 teams found that innovation workgroup climate level mediated the relationship between transformational leadership and employee creativity. Furthermore, results indicated that diverse groups had higher innovation climate strength when transformational leadership was high, and that innovation climate level was more strongly related to employee creativity when innovation climate strength was high. Overall, these results suggest that transformational 1Miami (OH) University, Oxford, OH, USA 2Management School of Graduate University, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China 3The Fourth Military Medical University, Bejing, China 4Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Beijing, China Corresponding Author: Joseph C.

Analysis of Severity and Anatomical Distribution of Diabetic Foot Ulcers; A Single Unit Experience

Diabetes is the commonest cause of foot ulceration in developing countries leading to severe morbidity and mortality. The main aim of this study was to assess anatomical distribution of diabetic foot lesions, categorize it according to Wagner wound grading, find any association between smoking packs years and the severity of the foot lesions. Also to assess the relationship between the bony deformities and anatomical distribution of the ulcers. This was a cross sectional descriptive study conducted in a casualty surgical unit in a tertiary care teaching hospital for a period of 4 months. 91 diabetic patients with a diabetes related foot lesion were enrolled after simple randomization. Pretested interviewer administered questionnaire was used to gather data. Variety of soft tissue and bony changes of diabetic foot were assessed. Lesions were classified according to Wagner classification. Data was analysed using Epidata software. From the 91 participants, 55 (61 %) were males and 36 (39%) females. Mean age was at 60. 12 ± 10. 19 years. Median diabetes duration was 10 years (Interquartile range = 4.25 – 16.75). Wagner grade 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 were 17.7%, 40.65%, 28.8%, 13.3% and 0% respectively. Commonest ulcer location was margins of foot (31.87%). There was no statistically significant association between the pack years of cigarette smoking males and severity of foot lesions (Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient = - 0.037, p = 0.82). Patients with claw and hammer toe deformities had their ulcers located in fingertips and toes (p = 0.0185). But there was no statistically significant association with flat foot deformity and ulcer distribution on any particular anatomical area in the foot (p = 0.0511). In conclusion there is a statistically significant association between toe deformities and ulcer occurrence in finger tips. No significant correlation between severity of smoking and severity of foot lesions among males is present. KEYWORDS: Diabetic ulcers, Diabetic foot lesions, Wagner classification, Dlcer distribution
OWNERSHIP AND CONTROL IN LARGE EASTERN EUROPEAN COMPANIES

The aim of this paper is to determine if the ownership structure of large Central Eastern-European companies, can influence the performance of the companies via better monitoring and control of managers done by individual blockholders. We use a sample of 497 large private and public CEE companies and analyze influence of large individual type of blockholders on performance over the period 2004-2013. We use ROA as a proxy for performance, firm, country characteristics and ownership indicators in a fixed-effect panel model. Our estimates indicate that only state and foreign ownership can influence performance while individual and widely held ownership do not influence performance in large CEE companies. On average, state controlled companies tend to underperform while foreign ownership seems to be beneficial for performance. This suggests that ownership can be used as a substitute for missing good governance institutions, in such a specific environment as CEE countries.
The Costs of Remoteness: Evidence from German Division and Reunification

This paper exploits the division of Germany after the Second World War and the reunification of East and West Germany in 1990 as a natural experiment to provide evidence of the importance of market access for economic development. In line with a standard new economic geography model, we find that following division cities in West Germany that were close to the new border between East and West Germany experienced a substantial decline in population growth relative to other West German cities. We provide several pieces of evidence that the decline of the border cities can be entirely accounted for by their loss in market access and is neither driven by differences in industrial structure nor differences in the degree of war related destruction. Finally, we also find some first evidence of a recovery of the border cities after the re-unification of East and West Germany.
EVIDENCE FOR A PRE-ERUPTIVE TWISTED FLUX ROPE USING THE THEMIS VECTOR MAGNETOGRAPH

Although there is evidence that twisted structures form during large-scale eruptive events, it is not yet clear whether these exist in the pre-eruptive phase as twisted flux ropes (TFRs) in equilibrium. This question has become a major issue since several theoretical mechanisms can lead to the formation of TFRs. These models consider either the evolution of a coronal configuration driven by photospheric changes or the emergence of TFR from the convection zone. We consider as a target for addressing this issue the active region NOAA AR 10808 known at the origin of several large-scale eruptive phenomena, and associated with the emergence of a δ-spot. Using the THEMIS vector magnetogram as photospheric boundary conditions for our nonlinear force-free reconstruction model of the low corona and without any other assumption, we show that the resulting pre-eruptive configuration exhibits a TFR above the neutral line of the emerging δ-spot. In addition, the free magnetic energy of this configuration could even be large enough to explain such resulting large-scale eruptive events.
The Relationship between Health Belief Model and Compliance with Therapeutic Regimen Among Diabetic Pregnant Women

Introduction: Pregnant women compliance to gestational diabetes militias (GDM) regimen playsa major role in improving their overall quality of life. However, as postulated by the HealthBelief Model a greater perception of risk is associated with a greater intention to adapt lifestyle,especially in terms of diet and physical activity. Aim of the study: to find out the relationshipbetween health belief model and compliance with therapeutic regimen among diabetic pregnantwomen. Materials & Method: Research design: A descriptive research design was utilized inthis study. Setting: This study was conducted in the outpatient clinic of antenatal unit at ElShatby Maternity Hospital. Subjects: Convenience samples of 130 pregnant women attendingthe previously mentioned setting were recruited in the study. Tools: three tools were used tocollect the necessary data, namely: Pregnant Women Basic Data Structured Interview Schedule,Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities (SDSCA) & Gestational Diabetes Health BeliefModel Scale. Results: About two thirds (66.9%) of the study subjects were unsatisfactorycompliant with diabetic regimen. Meanwhile 33.1% of the study subjects were satisfactorycompliant with their regimen. A statistically significant correlation was noticed betweensubjects’ total score of compliance and their perceived susceptibility, severity, benefits andbarrier (p= 0.001, 0.020, 0.002, 0.000) respectively. Conclusion: It can be concluded that levelof pregnant women compliance with gestational diabetes regimen was associated with somemodifying factors such as level of education, income, residence, parity, number of livingchildren, planned pregnancy, number of antenatal visits and onset of (GDM). Furthermore, levelof pregnant women compliance with GD regimen was associated with their perceivedsusceptibility, severity, benefits as well as barriers. Recommendation(S): To raise pregnant women awareness toward gestational diabetes including extent of the problem, risk factors,signs, complications, diagnosis through using preventive awareness campaigns and communitymobilization.
An Empirical Investigation of the Trade-Off Theory: Evidence from Jordan

This study aims to test if the Jordanian industrial listed firms follow the trade-off theory in their funding needs strategy during the period 2000-2014. Utilizing data from a sample of the Jordanian industrial firms, the results show that the inverse relationship between profitability and leverage result is not consistent with the trade-off theory, indicating that more profitable Jordanian manufacturing firms tend to issue more equity and less debt to finance their need of funds. The direct relationship result between firms’ size and leverage is in line with the trade-off theory, indicating that large firms tend to finance their needs of fund through issuing debt rather than equity. As for the growth leverage relation, the result supports the trade-off theory, but the relation is not statistically significant. In summary, The Jordanian manufacturing firms follow the trade-off theory partially, and the industrial sector have an impact on the financing decision.
Debris characteristics and ice-shelf dynamics in the ablation region of the McMurdo ice Shelf, Antarctica

This paper presents observations and measurements of debris characteristics and ice-shelf dynamics in the ablation region of the McMurdo Ice Shelf in the Ross Sea sector of Antarctica. Ice-shelf surface processes and dynamics are inferred from a combination of sedimentological descriptions, ground-penetrating radar investigations and through ablation, velocity and ice-thickness measurements. Field data show that in the study area the ice shelf moves relatively slowly (1.5-18.3 m a -1 ), has high ablation rates (43-441 mm during 2003/04 summer) and is thin (6-22 m). The majority of debris on the ice shelf was originally transported into the area by a large and dynamic ice-sheet/ice-shelf system at the Last Glacial Maximum. This debris is concentrated on the ice-shelf surface and is continually redistributed by surface ablation (creating an ice-cored landscape of large debris-rich mounds), ice-shelf flow (forming medial moraines) and meltwater streams (locally reworking material and redistributing it across the ice-shelf surface). A conceptual model for supraglacial debris transport by contemporary Antarctic ice shelves is presented, which emphasizes these links between debris supply, surface ablation and ice-shelf motion. Low-velocity ice shelves such as the McMurdo Ice Shelf can maintain and sequester a debris load for thousands of years, providing a mechanism by which ice shelves can accumulate sufficient debris to contribute to sediment deposition in the oceans.
Antenna System Noise-Temperature Calibration Mismatch Errors Revisited

This article presents tutorial discussions of available and delivered system noise temperatures as well as antenna e‐ciency and how mismatch errors afiect the expected values. Derivation of the mismatch error equations begins with fundamental considerations, and subsequent steps are purposely presented in detail. Mismatch errors are shown to be functions of the voltage re∞ection coe‐cients of the ambient load, antenna, and receiver. The errors can also be functions of the receiver correlation coe‐cient. Plots are presented showing how each of these coe‐cients afiects deviations of the true operating-system noise-temperature values from the assumed matched-case values for a typical DSN receiving system at 8.45 GHz (X-band).

Predictive Factors of Legionella pneumophila Contamination in Cooling Tower Water

A cross-sectional study of 160 water samples collected from 72 cooling towers in 4 hospitals, 7 department stores, and 3 hotels in Bangkok was carried out to investigate Legionella pneumophila contamination and its predictive factors. All water samples were cultured for Legionella spp. and tested for L. pneumophila by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Some cooling tower parameters were measured and recorded. Data were analyzed using χ 2 -test, odds ratio and stepwise logistic regression analysis at the significant level of α = 0.05. Results revealed that the Legionella spp. contamination was 20.0% (32/160) and for L. pneumophila was 61.3% (98/160). The sensitivity of real-time PCR was higher than that of the culture. Factors significantly associated with L. pneumophila contamination by χ 2 -test were: the cooling tower model, size, use duration, pH, water temperature, use of ozone, and residual free chlorine (95% CI of OR > 1.0, P < 0.05). After stepwise logistic regression analysis, four predictive factors remained. These included the cooling tower model being a cross-flow type (adjusted OR = 3.1, 95% CI = 1.2-7.8, P = 0.017), use duration >5 years (adjusted OR = 3.6, 95% CI = 1.3-10.1, P = 0.016), water temperature <29.4°C (adjusted OR = 7.9, 95% CI = 2.1-29.6, P = 0.002), and residual free chlorine <0.2 ppm (adjusted OR = 8.5, 95% CI = 2.1-34.9, P = 0.003). Additionally, the risk probability for L. pneumophila contamination was estimated to be 13.9-97.1%, depending on the combination of predictive factors.
Granular metal–carbon nanocomposites as piezoresistive sensor films – Part 2: Modeling longitudinal and transverse strain sensitivity

Abstract. Granular and columnar nickel–carbon composites may exhibit large strain sensitivity, which makes them an interesting sensor material. Based on experimental results and morphological characterization of the material, we develop a model of the electron transport in the film and use it to explain its piezoresistive effect. First we describe a model for the electron transport from particle to particle. The model is then applied in Monte Carlo simulations of the resistance and strain properties of the disordered films that give a first explanation of film properties. The simulations give insights into the origin of the transverse sensitivity and show the influence of various parameters such as particle separation and geometric disorder. An important influence towards larger strain sensitivity is local strain enhancement due to different elastic moduli of metal particles and carbon matrix.
The Norwegian Atlantic Current in the Lofoten basin inferred from hydrological and tracer data (129I) and its interaction with the Norwegian Coastal Current

From three hydrological sections taken across the Lofoten Basin in May 2000, we estimated geostrophic transports of 7.2 Sv (Sverdrup = 106 m3 s−1) for the Norwegian Atlantic Current (NAC) and its division between northern (4.8 Sv) and eastern (2.4 Sv) branches. From 129I/127I concentration ratio measurements and transport estimations, we calculated 129I mass flux across the three sections. It appears that in the Lofoten Basin (a) 129I tracer‐laden Norwegian Coastal Current (NCC) is transporting northward 55 kg/y of 129I assuming a volume flux of 0.7 Sv, (b) the estimated mass fluxes of 129I by the NAC and the NCC are comparable, (c) the total mass flux of 129I by the NAC and NCC, accounts only for about 1/3 of the 129I annual discharge (350 kg/y) from two reprocessing plants based in France and UK. If these measurements are representative of annual mean, it suggests an important transfer of 129I outside the NAC/NCC system.
Regional macroseismic field and intensity residuals of the August 24, 2016, Mw=6.0 central Italy earthquake

A macroseismic investigation of the August 24, 2016, Mw=6.0 Central Italy earthquake, was carried out through an online web survey. Data were collected through a macroseismic questionnaire available at the website www.haisentitoilterremoto. it, managed by the Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV). Over 12000 questionnaires were compiled soon after the seismic occurrence, coming from over 2600 municipalities. A statistical analysis was applied to the data collected in order to investigate the spatial distribution of intensity of the earthquake. The macroseismic intensity field (I) was described by identifying three main components: an isotropic component (II), a regional anisotropic component (IA) and a local random variations parameter (). The anisotropic component highlighted specific and well-defined geographical areas of amplification and attenuation. In general, the area between the Adriatic coast and Apennines Chain was characterized by an amplification of intensity, while the West side of the Apennines showed attenuation, in agreement with the domains found by other works focused on the analysis of instrumental data. Moreover, the regional macroseismic field showed similarities with instrumental PGA data. The results of our analysis confirm the reliability of web questionnaire data.
Entanglement and correlation functions of the quantum Motzkin spin-chain

We present exact results on the exactly solvable spin chain of Bravyi et al [Phys. Rev. Lett. 109, 207202 (2012)]. This model is a spin one chain and has a Hamiltonian that is local and translationally invariant in the bulk. It has a unique (frustration free) ground state with an energy gap that is polynomially small in the system's size ($2n$). The half-chain entanglement entropy of the ground state is $\frac{1}{2}\log n+const. $. Here we first write the Hamiltonian in the standard spin-basis representation. We prove that at zero temperature, the magnetization is along the $z-$direction i.e., $\langle s^{x}\rangle=\langle s^{y}\rangle=0$ (everywhere on the chain). We then analytically calculate $\langle s^{z}\rangle$ and the two-point correlation functions of $s^{z}$. By analytically diagonalizing the reduced density matrices, we calculate the Schmidt rank, von Neumann and Renyi entanglement entropies for: 1. Any partition of the chain into two pieces (not necessarily in the middle) and 2. $L$ consecutive spins centered in the middle. Further, we identify entanglement Hamiltonians (Eqs. 49 and 59). We prove a small lemma (Lemma1) on the combinatorics of lattice paths using the reflection principle to relate and calculate the Motzkin walk 'height' to spin expected values. We also calculate the, closely related, (scaled) correlation functions of Brownian excursions. The known features of this model are summarized in a table in Sec.I.
Evaluation of Premise 25 FS (Triticonazole) to Control Seed and Seedling Damping-Off Diseases in Sesame

The efficacy of Premise 25 FS (Triticonazole) in controlling damping-off diseases in sesame crop under rain fed conditions was evaluated at two locations, central and north Gedarif areas. The five tested rates of Premise 25 FS (3, 4.5, 6, 7 and 7.5 ml / kg seed), significantly increased percent seedlings emergence, reduced the incidence of post emergence damping off and increased sesame seed yield compared to the untreated control. However, Sesame seeds treated with Premise at the rate of 3 ml /kg seed, consistently and significantly enhanced seedling emergence (83.8 and 87.4%), reduced post emergence damping off ,(0.5 and 1.3%) and gave significantly higher yield (245 kg and 200 kg/ feddan) in both locations compared to other treatments

In summary oral Nifedipine may be preferable as it has a convenient dosing pattern orally. Conclusions: A hypertensive disorder of pregnancy is one of the life-threatening complication encountered in obstetrics and globally is major cause of maternal morbidity and mortality. Management of acute severe hypertension in pregnancy is a challenging task. Present study compares the efficacy of oral Nifedipine and IV Labetalol in reaching the therapeutic goal. From the results of this study we can well conclude that oral Nifedipine is more efficacious.
Spatial Variations in the Character of Off-the-Books Entrepreneurship: Lessons from a Study of Contrasting Districts in Moscow

Although there is growing recognition that many entrepreneurs start up trading partially or wholly off-the-books, few have evaluated whether the character of this hidden enterprise culture varies spatially. To begin to do so, this paper evaluates whether and how the nature of off-the-books entrepreneurship differs across an affluent, a mixed and a deprived district of Moscow. Drawing upon 313 face-to-face interviews, the finding is that wholly legitimate enterprises represent just the tip of the iceberg in Moscow. Beneath the surface in all the districts is a large hidden enterprise culture. However, off-the-books entrepreneurship in the affluent district is composed more of registered businesses trading partially off-the-books and conducted as a voluntarily chosen spin-off from their formal employment. In the deprived district, meanwhile, it is composed more of unregistered wholly off-the-books businesses and such entrepreneurship is largely a survival tactic and last resort. The paper concludes by discussing the theoretical and policy implications of these findings.
