Make me authentic, but not here: Reflexive struggles with academic identity and authentic leadership

This article presents a reflexive auto-ethnography of the experience of teaching authentic leadership to MBA students. It traces parallels between the challenges of authentic leadership and the challenges of academic identity work, grounded specifically in the experience of having to teach something one does not fully endorse. Both authentic leadership and academic identity work emerge as struggle – riddled with false starts, best intentions and self-deception, and entwined in the politics of pragmatism, idealism, ambition and survival. The subject position of the mature entrant to academia who is also an ‘early career scholar’ is likened to an awkward adolescent, experimenting with shades of independence/dependence, resistance/compliance and voice/silence. Based on these reflections, having authentic leadership on the curriculum involves a particular kind of identity regulation for students and academics alike, running counter to philosophical notions of authenticity as striving for one’s own way in the world. Authentic leadership will only flourish in the business school if academics muster the courage to acknowledge its relevance for our own role as teacher-leaders, rather than simply teaching or writing to its abstract, ideological appeal.
Comparison of an Intermittent Hypoxic Exposure Acclimatization Program to Staging at Moderate Altitude on Endurance Performance at 4300 m

Abstract : Endurance performance decreases upon initial exposure to altitude but improves following acclimatization induced by continuous altitude residence. For low-altitude residents, acclimatization to a target altitude can be induced by temporarily residing (staging) at moderate altitudes. However, staging may not be available or logistically practical for low altitude-based Warfighters needing to rapidly ascend to high altitude. An alternative method for inducing altitude acclimatization, termed intermittent hypoxic exposure (IHE), may provide an acceptable alternative for minimizing endurance performance decrements at altitude following rapid ascent. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of one week of normobaric IHE to one week of staging (STG) at 2,200 m on endurance performance at 4,300 m altitude in healthy male lowlanders. METHODS: Two studies were conducted using the same facilities, test equipment and investigators. IHE study: 11 male lowlanders (Mean + or - S.E., age: 22 + or - 1 yr, VO2peak: 47 + or - 5 ml/kg/min) were initially (Pre-T) exposed to 4,300 m, followed by 12 days of sea level residence to deacclimatize, then 6-7 days of normobaric IHE (hypoxia room: 2 h PIO2=90 mmHg sedentary & 1 h PIO2 =110 mmHg exercising at 80% peak heart rate) followed by a 60 hour delay at sea level and a second exposure (Post-T) to 4,300 m. STG study: 10 male lowlanders (age: 21 + or - 1 yrs, VO2peak: 51 + or - 7 ml/kg/min) were initially exposed to 4300 m before (Pre-T) and after (Post-T) staging for 6 d at 2,200 m. In both studies, subjects were tested on a cycle ergometer during 40 min steady-state exercise followed immediately by a 360 kJ maximum effort Time-Trial (TT) at sea level, and again beginning within 3 hrs of high altitude (HA) exposure to 4,300 m. During the TT, the men freely adjusted power output. Arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2), heart rate (HR), and ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) were measured every 5 min during exercise.
Effect of nursing intervention on constipation among elderly in Zagazic city Sharkia governorate-Egypt

Constipation is one of the most common gastrointestinal complaints among elderly people. Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of nursing intervention on constipation among elderly. Design: The study was carried out using a quasi- experimental design to evaluate the effect of the intervention on constipation among elderly. Setting: It was conducted in the Geriatric Social Club at Zagazig city. Sample: A purposive sample consisted of 100 elderly randomly divided into two equal groups (50 a study group and 50 a control group). Tool for data collection: A structured interview questionnaire covering demographic characteristics, past medical history, dietary habits, elimination habits, knowledge and practice about constipation. A health education intervention program developed based on literature and identified needs was implemented and its effect was evaluated through a posttest. Results: The study findings revealed statistically significant improvements of the knowledge of elderly in the study group, with decreases in intake of anti-allergics, sedatives and hypnotics, and laxatives. They also had significant improvements in sleep, psychological problems, and exercise practice. They had significant increases in eating regular meals and brown bread, and improvements in elimination habits, and associated complaints. Conclusion: The study concluded that the health education intervention led to improvements in elderly’s knowledge and practices regarding the constipation problem, with subsequent improvements in their complaints and complications. Recommendation: the study recommended that implementation of the developed health education program in similar settings, with future research to assess its long-term effects.

Rise of the Titans: A Dusty, Hyper-luminous “870 μm Riser” Galaxy at z ∼ 6

We report the detection of ADFS-27, a dusty, starbursting major merger at a redshift of z = 5.655, using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). ADFS-27 was selected from Herschel/Spectral and Photometric Imaging Receiver (SPIRE) and APEX/LABOCA data as an extremely red “870 μm riser” (i.e., ), demonstrating the utility of this technique to identify some of the highest-redshift dusty galaxies. A scan of the 3 mm atmospheric window with ALMA yields detections of CO(J = 5 → 4) and CO(J = 6 → 5) emission, and a tentative detection of H2O(211 → 202) emission, which provides an unambiguous redshift measurement. The strength of the CO lines implies a large molecular gas reservoir with a mass of Mgas = 2.5 × 1011 M⊙, sufficient to maintain its ∼2400 M⊙ yr−1 starburst for at least ∼100 Myr. The 870 μm dust continuum emission is resolved into two components, 1.8 and 2.1 kpc in diameter, separated by 9.0 kpc, with comparable dust luminosities, suggesting an ongoing major merger. The infrared luminosity of LIR ≃ 2.4 × 1013 L⊙ implies that this system represents a binary hyper-luminous infrared galaxy, the most distant of its kind presently known. This also implies star formation rate surface densities of and 750 M⊙ yr−1 kpc2, consistent with a binary “maximum starburst. ” The discovery of this rare system is consistent with a significantly higher space density than previously thought for the most luminous dusty starbursts within the first billion years of cosmic time, easing tensions regarding the space densities of z ∼ 6 quasars and massive quiescent galaxies at z ≳ 3.

Assessing School Facilities in Public Secondary Schools in Delta State, Nigeria

This study investigated school facilitates in public secondary schools in Delta State, Nigeria. The purpose of the study was to find out the state of the facilities, the types of maintenance carried out on the facilities by school administrators, the factors encouraging school facilities depreciation and the roles of school administrators in the management and maintenance of school facilities. The study employed the ex-post-facto research design. The questionnaire was the instrument for data collection from 640 respondents selected through stratified sampling techniques from all the 358 public secondary schools in the state. Findings revealed that school facilities in the schools are generally in a state of disrepair. The findings further revealed that the maintenance carried out on school facilities were inadequate for majority of the facilities. The factors encouraging school facilities deprecation included excess pressure on available facilities and delayed maintenance amongst others. The roles of school administrators in the management and maintenance of school facilities included periodic inspection of facilities and decentralization of maintenance. The study recommended that school administrators, teachers and students should develop and inculcate good maintenance culture, government should budget for facilities maintenance and allocate more funds to schools for effective management and maintenance of school facilities.
A Glacial Geomorphological Map of Victoria Island, Canadian Arctic

Abstract Please click here to download the map associated with this article. Victoria Island lies at the north-western extremity of the region covered by the vast North American Laurentide Ice Sheet (LIS) in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. This area is significant because it linked the interior of the LIS to the Arctic Ocean, probably via a number of ice streams. Victoria Island, however, exhibits a remarkably complex glacial landscape, with several successive generations of ice flow indicators superimposed on top of each other and often at abrupt (90°) angles. This complexity represents a major challenge to those attempting to produce a detailed reconstruction of the glacial history of the region. This paper presents a map of the glacial geomorphology of Victoria Island. The map is based on analysis of Landsat Enhanced Thematic Plus (ETM+) satellite imagery and contains over 58,000 individual glacial features which include: glacial lineations, moraines (terminal, lateral, subglacial shear margin), hummocky moraine, ribbed moraine, eskers, glaciofluvial deposits, large meltwater channels, and raised shorelines. The glacial features reveal marked changes in ice flow direction and vigour over time. Moreover, the glacial geomorphology indicates a non-steady withdrawal of ice during deglaciation, with rapidly flowing ice streams focussed into the inter-island troughs and several successively younger flow patterns superimposed on older ones. It is hoped that detailed analysis of this map will lead to an improved reconstruction of the glacial history of this area which will provide other important insights, for example, with respect to the interactions between ice streaming, deglaciation and Arctic Ocean meltwater events.
Is the LCP Superfund Site an Ecological Trap for Clapper Rails?

Abstract Rallus longirostris (Clapper Rail) is considered a good indicator species for toxicants because of its strong site fidelity and predictable diet of benthic organisms. High levels of the rare PCB Aroclor 1268 have been found in Clapper Rail adults, chicks, and eggs from the marshes associated with the Linden Chemical Plant (LCP) in Brunswick, GA. Recently, sampling and testing feathers has successfully been used as a non-lethal tool to trace exposure and assimilation of Aroclor 1268 in rails from the LCP site. This approach allows us to infer how and when these birds are exposed to contaminants in the marsh due to predictable molting patterns coupled with the fact that a feather will accumulate the toxicant only at the time it is grown. This study is the start of a process to investigate the possibility that this ecosystem contamination is the foundation of an ecological trap for Clapper Rails at the LCP site. Aroclor 1268 was isolated in Clapper Rail feathers from all birds collected from the contaminated marsh. This finding suggests that these birds either hatched or resided in this system the previous year and thus were not new recruits, which would be expected if fitness was being compromised from the contamination. Based on samples taken during the same fall and winter from the LCP site and control areas, the ratios of hatch-year (HY) birds to adults were similar. However, based on samples taken during the spring and summer, the ratios of HY birds to adults from LCP were lower than reported previously in studies in the southeast. This result suggests that the population age structure may have been affected by the contamination. Future studies specifically focused on reproductive success and fitness are needed at LCP and throughout the Brunswick estuary.
Categorization of the EU Countries in the Context of Agricultural Production

Paper provides synthesis of knowledge and empirical research on selected determinants of agricultural production and verifies the applicability of the methods of hierarchical and non-hierarchical clustering in the agricultural sector. It identifies and categorizes the EU Member States in order to their clustering based on the similarity of common features in the context of direct (gross value added, support for agriculture, agriculturally utilized land) and indirect factors (employment, gross fixed capital) affecting the total agricultural production. The aim of the paper is creation of the economically meaningful groups of the EU countries that would confirm or reject the classification of old and new member states. The results of cluster analysis divided countries into three clusters, and confirmed that second cluster was represented by the new member states, and third by the old member states. Clusters were mutually different in the indicators of labour force in agriculture, support for agriculture, and agriculturally utilized land.
Welfare Chauvinism, Economic Insecurity and the Asylum Seeker “Crisis”

Immigration has been a major trend in the last decades in Europe. However, immigrant access to the social security systems has remained a contentious issue having gained additional salience in light of the recent asylum-seeking developments. We focus on welfare chauvinism, the idea that immigrants should not participate in welfare resources, as an attitudinal dimension. We seek to answer two primary questions: To what extent are different types of objective and subjective material deprivation related to welfare chauvinism? What is the role of the recent asylum seeker influx? Using European Social Survey data and employing binary and generalized ordered logit models with country fixed effects, we find perceptions of deprivation to be more meaningful than objective factors related to potential job loss, and some relationships depend on the specific type of deprivation. On the country level, in line with the deservingness of asylum seekers as a group, higher levels of asylum seeking are related to lower levels of welfare chauvinism, while GDP per capita is not associated with welfare chauvinism. Finally, the generalized ordered logit model shows that some relationships vary according to the strictness of welfare chauvinism, which would not be visible in a conventional ordered logit model.
Effects of Laser Radiation on the Wetting and Diffusion Characteristics of Kovar Alloy on Borosilicate Glass

The purpose of this study was to investigate the advantages of laser surface melting for improving wetting over the traditional approach. For comparison, kovar alloy was preoxidized in atmosphere at 700℃ for 10min, and then wetted it with borosilicate glass powder at 1100℃ with different holding time in atmosphere. The proposed approach used a Nd:YAG laser to melt the surface of the kovar alloy sample in atmosphere, then wetted with borosilicate glass powder at 1100℃ with the same holding time. The laser melted surface shows a decrease in contact angle from 47.5 degrees to 38 degrees after 100 minutes. The diffusion mechanisms were discussed for both approaches. Scanning electron microscope revealed that an iron oxide interlayer in the joint existed under both conditions. Fayalite nucleated on the iron oxide layer alloy and grew into the glass. In both cases, neither Co nor Ni were involved in the chemical bonding during wetting process. The work has shown that laser surface melting can be used to alter the wetting and diffusion characteristics of kovar alloy to borosilicate glass. This work demonstrates that it is possible to alter the wetting characteristics of Kovar alloy using the laser to melted kovar surface in atmosphere to substitute forthe traditionsal thermal treatment of kovar.The purpose of this study was to investigate the advantages of laser surface melting for improving wetting over the traditional approach.

Large Banks and Small Firm Lending

We explore the role of large banks in propagating economic shocks across the U.S. economy. We show that in 2007 and 2008, large banks operating in U.S. counties most affected by the decline in real estate prices contracted their credit to small businesses in counties that were not affected by falling real estate prices. These exposed banks were also more likely to completely cease operations in unaffected counties. By contrast, healthy banks — those not exposed to real estate price shocks — were more likely to expand operations and even to enter new banking markets, capturing market share in both loans and deposits. On average, the market share gain of healthy banks relative to exposed banks was a standard deviation above the long-run historic average market share growth. This offsetting effect was stronger for counties with a larger presence of exposed banks, and it resulted in changes in market share composition that had lasting effects. However, the net effect was negative and counties with a larger presence of exposed banks experienced slower overall growth in deposits, loans, employment, and number of small business establishments. These effects persist for several years after the initial shock.
Calibration of selected pyranometers and satellite derived solar radiation in Puerto Rico

Knowledge of solar radiation at the ground surface is valuable for many disciplines. In this study, ground-based sensors at Fortuna and Mayaguez, Puerto Rico, were used to calibrate daily-integrated satellite-derived solar radiation. The calibration equations yielded R 2 values of 0.88 and 0.83 at Fortuna and Mayaguez, respectively. A regression equation was also derived based on the combined data from the two locations with an R 2 of 0.87. The calibration equations for Fortuna and UPRM were validated using 283 and 227 days of solar radiation data from 2010, respectively. The combined data equation (intended as an island-wide equation) worked well at UPRM but not at Fortuna. We recommend, for locations other than the study areas, that the uncorrected remotely sensed data be used. At the study sites, the uncorrected data produced reasonably accurate results with a maximum 6.22% error between the mean estimated and measured solar radiation.
Soil drying and rewatering applied at three grain developmental stages affect differentially growth and grain protein deposition in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

Water deficits cause large yield losses in wheat. Although anthesis is generally considered the most vulnerable period, water deficit during grain filling can also cause yield losses. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of water stress and rewatering, at three different grain developmental stages, on physiological and grain filling parameters and on yield components. Wheat plants were subjected to water deficit and rewatering at the watery ripe, milk and soft dough stages. In the flag leaf, water stress decreased the relative water content, the chlorophyll and protein content and increased the leakage of solutes, at all three studied grain filling stages. Water stress at the watery ripe and milk stages reduced the final grain dry mass by 47 % and 20 %, respectively. This reduction was due to a decrease in the grain filling period and to a significant reduction in the maximum rate of grain-fill. Water stress imposed at the watery ripe stage reduced not only the linear growth phase but also its slope; grain number per spike and the 1000-kernel weight were also significantly reduced. SDS-PAGE patterns of grain proteins at the watery ripe stage did not differ between the controls, stressed or rewatered treatments. Protein patterns at the milk stage changed substantially with water stress, mainly for the high molecular weight glutenin subunits and gliadins. Three new bands were observed with apparent molecular weights of 108.5 kDa, 84.8 kDa and 63 kDa. Rewatering reverted water stress effects when it was imposed at the milk stage. Water deficit at the soft dough stage did not have any effect on protein grain patterns.
Post-Earnings Announcement Drift in Greece

This paper presents evidence regarding the post-earnings announcement drift (PEAD) anomaly for the Greek market in the years 2000–2006 (covering earnings announcements in the years 2001–2007). The impact of the introduction of International Financial Reporting Standards on the size and prevalence of the PEAD anomaly is examined. Unlike recent evidence for the US market we find PEAD to be alive and well, and of growing importance in our Greek sample. It may be the adoption of international financial reporting standards (IFRS) has served to reduce earnings predictability in Greece and thus enhance PEAD in the Athens stock exchange (ASE) market. This contrasts strongly with US evidence that the post-earnings-announcement drift anomaly is now waning as more efficient markets and smarter, fundamentals-based, traders arbitrage its impact on stock prices.
Intra- and inter-specific competition and the reproductive success of sympatric Pacific salmon

Individual female Pacific salmon fight for breeding space with conspecific and heterospecific females. We evaluated the consequences of this competition on the reproductive success of sockeye (Oncorhynchus nerka), chum (Oncorhynchus keta), and pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) in the Weaver Creek spawning channel, British Columbia. We hypothesized that differences in body size, relative abundance, and spawning date would influence the magnitude of interspecific interactions. Reproductive success (survival rate of eggs to emigrating fry) of the most abundant species, sockeye, was strongly and inversely correlated with conspecific abundance but not with the abundance of the other, less abundant species. Chum reproductive success was inversely correlated with sockeye abundance but not with the abundance of the scarce and smaller pink. Surprisingly, pink reproductive success was not correlated with sockeye abundance and only marginally correlated with chum abundance despite the fact that pink are smaller a.
