Translating Intentions to Behavior: The Interaction of Network Structure and Behavioral Intentions in Understanding Employee Turnover

This paper integrates psychological and sociological perspectives to provide a more complete explanation of the link between intended and actual turnover. Findings from two studies suggest that the translation of intentions to leave one's job into turnover behavior is attenuated by centrality in organizational advice and friendship networks. Our results demonstrate that psychological and network factors jointly impact employee turnover, and distinguish the effects of different types of networks friendship, advice, ties in-degree, out-degree, and levels dyadic, triadic in the turnover process. We discuss the implications of these findings for research and practice, and propose a two-stage model of turnover grounded in temporal construal theory that describes how psychological and structural factors variously influence the turnover decision process.
TCR spectratyping revealed T lymphocytes associated with graft-versus-host disease after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation

Clonal expansion of T cells after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) has been observed, but their characteristics remain to be fully elucidated. We report here that CD8+ T cells were the dominant T lymphocytes seen and T-cell repertoire diversity decreased dramatically during the first 3 months after allo-HSCT. Patients with GVHD grade II – IV had significantly lower T-cell repertoire diversity compared with non-GVHD patients. TCR beta variable gene (TCRBV) subfamily 8, 5.1, 5.2, 4, and 13 were the five most frequently expanded subfamilies among these patients. Among the 49 over-expanded clones identified, clonotype “TCR3-5” and “TCR18-5” were isolated from four patients with HLA-A2 allele and skin GVHD. Their frequencies correlated well with skin symptoms (i.e. rash). Moreover, they were detected in donors but not detected in recipients before transplantation. Lastly, three common TCRBV CDR3 motifs shared by T cells related with GVHD were discovered: TGDS, GLAG, and GGG. These findings suggest that TCR spectratyping is helpful for revealing GVHD-related T cells and may have utility in early diagnosis.
Does Working Capital Management Affect the Profitability of Property and Real Estate Firms in Indonesia?

During 2013-2017, the increase in net profit of property companies in Indonesia was accompanied by an increase in the cash conversion cycle and net working capital ratio which indicated that performance was increasing but not in cash flow and management of working capital was not productive. The purpose of the study to determine the significant effect of working capital management on profitability and working capital element which has the dominant effect. This study used control variables of sales growth, company size, interest rate, and exchange rate. This study used a descriptive approach and panel data regression. The results showed that the Cash Conversion Cycle (CCC) had a significant negative effect on OPM, ROA, and ROE. Current asset to total assets ratio (CATAR) had a significant positive effect on ROA and ROE. Current liabilities to total assets ratio (CLTAR) have a positive effect significant to OPM and debts to total asset ratio (DTA) have a significant negative effect on OPM and ROA. While CLTAR had the most dominant effect on OPM because it has the highest estimation coefficient among others and the company more aggressive in implementing its working capital policy to achieve higher operating profit.

Evaluating the effects of communication in construction project delivery in Nigeria

All construction project execution requires communication between professionals in all the various stages of construction. These professionals transfer appropriate and relevant information to develop a buildable design that meets the client’s requirements. As the project unfolds and the design is realized, information in the form of drawings, specifications and construction methods must be communicated from one expert to another. Therefore, using an appropriate communication method and communication medium to resolve construction and design problems is essential. The research sampled 40 professionals working in the construction industry in Bauchi, Nigeria. The study established that within the Nigeria construction industry, there is a strong appreciation of the importance of project communication and its effects within the industry. In spite of that, there have been many hindrances to effective communication on construction projects in Nigeria. These include; unclear communication objectives, unclear channels of communication, ineffective reporting system, ineffective communication between the parties on the project, stereotyping and language difficulties. Finally, the research established that poor communication had resulted in project delays, project cost overrun and project abandonment. Project communications/communication management was also shown to strongly affect the performance of professionals within the construction industry.
Risk factors for surgical-wound infection following cardiac surgery.

In a prospective study of 1,009 adult patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery at The Johns Hopkins Hospital, we determined the association between a variety of preoperative and operative parameters and the risk of postoperative sternal- or mediastinal-wound infection. Of the parameters reflecting nutritional state, only one, reduced level of albumin in serum, was significantly associated with sternal- or mediastinal-wound infection by univariate analysis. The final multiple logistic regression analysis indicated that four variables were significant (P less than .05) independent predictors of sternal- or mediastinal-wound infection: obesity (relative odds = 3.8; 95% confidence limits = 1.9-7.5), diabetes mellitus (relative odds = 2.6; 95% confidence limits = 1.4-4.8), length of hospital stay before surgery greater than five days (relative odds = 2.0; 95% confidence limits = 1.2-3.5), and current cigarette smoking (relative odds = 1.8; 95% confidence limits = 1.1-3.1). Of these variables, perhaps only smoking will lend itself routinely to attempts at intervention.
Propriétés génériques des laminations

Une lamination est un feuilletage generalise : un espace compact, qui en general n'est pas une variete, est partitionne en varietes de dimension fixee : les feuilles. La theorie generique etudie "presque toutes" les feuilles. Les deux resultats modeles montrent que presque toutes les feuilles d'une lamination ont 0, 1, 2 ou un Cantor de bouts, au sens d'une mesure harmonique (Ghys) et au sens de Baire si la lamination est minimale (Cantwell-Conlon). Apres avoir retrouve le resultat de Cantwell-Conlon, nous etudions les laminations minimales dont presque-toutes les feuilles au sens de Baire ont 2 bouts. Nous montrons que toutes leurs feuilles ont 1 ou 2 bouts et decrivons leurs types de quasi-isometrie. Dans ce cas, presque-toutes les feuilles au sens de toute mesure harmonique ont 2 bouts. Nous donnons la liste finie des surfaces pouvant apparaitre dans ces laminations. Enfin, le cas transversalement-Cantor est classifie en terme d'actions de groupes a 2 bouts. Par contraste, nous construisons ensuite deux laminations minimales dont presque toutes les feuilles au sens de Baire ont 1 bout : une premiere telle que toute surface orientale non compacte est homeomorphe a une feuille, une seconde dont presque toutes les feuilles au sens d'une mesure harmonique (en fait invariante) ont 2 bouts. Enfin, nous generalisons nos resultats et ceux de Ghys et Cantwell-Conlon aux laminations recurrentes et a celles munies de mesures conservatives. Presque-toutes leurs feuilles, au sens de Baire dans le premier cas, relativement a la mesure dans le second, ont 1, 2 ou une infinite de bouts.
Inhibition of HBV gene expression and replication by stably expressed interferon‐α1 via adeno‐associated viral vectors

Interferon‐α2 (IFNα2) is routinely used for anti‐hepatitis B virus (HBV) treatment. However, the therapeutic efficiency is unsatisfactory, particularly in East Asia. Such inefficiency might be a result of the short half‐life, relatively low local concentration and strong side‐effects of interferons. Frequent and repeated injection is also a big burden for patients. In the present study, a single dose of vector‐delivered IFNα1 was tested for its anti‐HBV effects.
Economic hardship and marital relations in the 1930s.

Economic stress in families and lives represent interdependent, problem areas, although most work to date has ignored this critical relationship. Consistent with Burgess's concept of the family, as a "unity of interacting personalities," a life course perspective on family development attends to the complex interaction of individual personalities and emergent social patterns in family change. With longitudinal data from the Berkeley Guidance panel, this study examines the impact of relative income loss (1929-33) on change in the marital relations and personalities of III couples up to the 1940s. Economic loss produced marked declines in marital quality among middleand working-class families. In large part, this outcome reflected the acute deprivational meaning of income loss to husbands. Marital discord increased under economic pressure as men who lacked adaptive resources became more difficult to live with, more tense, irritable, and explosive. But even apart from such change, marital relations generally grew more tense and conflicted as couples were forced to adapt family needs to unexpected income constraints. These adverse effects are one side of the Depression picture. Another side is evidence of remarkable personal and marital adaptation among couples whose marital bond was strong before hard times and among men of personal stability when they encountered hard times in the Great Depression.
Tactile detection of a dot on a smooth surface: peripheral neural events.

The capacities of humans to detect the presence of a single raised dot of 550 micron diameter on a smooth plate and to judge the magnitude of evoked sensation were determined for dots of different heights, stroked at different velocities across the passive fingerpad. Evoked responses to the same stimuli were recorded from single, slowly adapting (SA), rapidly adapting (RA), and Pacinian (PC) mechanoreceptive peripheral nerve fibers innervating the fingerpad of anesthetized macaque monkeys. When the stroke velocity was 10 mm/s, dot height detection thresholds, as determined from measurements of detection sensitivity were between 1 and 3 microns for all human observers. From fiber recordings in monkeys, the RAs had dot height thresholds of 2-4 microns, i.e., within the range of human detection thresholds. The dot height thresholds were 8 microns or greater for SAs and 21 micron or greater for PCs. In contrast, force thresholds for punctate von Frey filaments did not differ for RAs and SAs and were lowest for PCs. The magnitude of sensation evoked in human increased with increases in dot height above threshold. Similarly, the number of nerve impulses evoked in monkey RAs increased with dot height as did the widths of RA receptive fields. Neither changes in stroke velocity from 10 to 40 mm/s nor changes in vertical force applied by the dot plate to the skin altered sensory magnitude evoked by a 15-microns high dot or the number of impulses evoked in RAs. However, a decrease in stroke velocity from 10 to 1.5 mm/s elevated sensory detection thresholds and, for the 15-microns high dot, decreased sensory magnitude, the number of impulses in RAs, and the widths of RA receptive fields. It was hypothesized that the mechanical event responsible for activating the RA was the lateral deformation of elevated regions of skin. In support of this, the number of impulses evoked in RAs by a dot was greater when the dot was stroked across, as opposed to along, the papillary ridges. Also, under certain stimulus conditions, a correspondence was observed between the occurrence of each action potential in an RA and the passage of the leading edge of the dot across the peak of a papillary ridge. It is concluded that the responses of RAs alone account for the sensory capacity to detect a dot of minimal height on a smooth surface with the fingerpad. (ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)
Substrate-Dependent Utilization of OprM or OpmH by the Pseudomonas aeruginosa MexJK Efflux Pump

ABSTRACT MexJK requires OprM for erythromycin efflux but not for triclosan efflux. Deletion of 15 OprM family outer membrane proteins (OMPs) revealed that only the TolC homolog OpmH functions with MexJK for triclosan efflux. This is the first report of natural utilization of multiple OMPs by a given resistance nodulation cell division transporter/membrane fusion protein pair.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa lipopolysaccharide: evidence that the O side chains and common antigens are on the same molecule

We investigated whether Pseudomonas aeruginosa produces two distinct lipopolysaccharides (LPS) containing either serologically variable O side chains or a neutral polysaccharide common antigen, designated A bands, that reacts with monoclonal antibody (MAb) E87. Immunoprecipitation of LPS and free O side chains with O-side-chain-specific antibodies or MAb E87 resulted in coprecipitation of both polysaccharides when antibody of either specificity was employed. Chromatography of LPS and free O side chains in a disaggregating deoxycholate buffer indicated the two polysaccharide antigens cochromatograph when eluates were analyzed by sensitive and specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay inhibitions. The LPS from a mutant of strain PAO1 that lacks polymerized O side chains but retains the common antigen eluted in fractions containing smaller LPS molecules, indicating the necessity of polymerized O side chains for elution in early fractions containing large LPS monomers. A phosphomannomutase mutant of P. aeruginosa PAO1 makes a rough LPS lacking both O side chains and common antigen but still produces a small (< 6-kDa) common antigen component detectable in cell lysates. Introduction of the cloned pmm gene into this strain restored production of a smooth LPS expressing large MAb E87-reactive common antigen. Destruction with NaOH of O side chains on recombinant LPS molecules eluting early from the molecular sieve column resulted in a shift of the MAb E87-reactive antigen to the late-eluting fractions. These results indicate that on most P. aeruginosa LPS molecules, O side chains and neutral polysaccharide common antigens are both present.
Effect of Risk Management Committee on Monitoring Mechanisms

Corruption has become an identification label for many African countries of which Nigeria is one of the top listed countries. Monitoring mechanisms (MM) is therefore at the forefront of issues being considered by governments, company boards of directors, regulators, and management to ensure transparency, accountability, and protection of the shareholders' interests. Risk management is connected with components of internal control (risks assessment, monitoring, and control activities) which is a vital instrument to mitigate agency problems emanating from corruption and moral hazards in companies. It is, therefore, essential to understand Risk Management Committee (RMC) as one of the organisational attributes that can affect MM. The relationship between RMC and MM has not been empirically tested, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa. Therefore, this paper examines the relationship between RMC and monitoring mechanisms. It provides empirical supports that RMC associates with monitoring mechanisms to reduce agency problems, using the data (2010-2012) of Nigerian non-financial listed companies. The board of directors of Nigerian companies is encouraged by this research to explore the usefulness of RMC in monitoring the management and controlling shareholders to lessen agency problems and protect the interests of the minority shareholders.
SOCIAL MEDIA USE AND SERVICE DELIVERY BY LIBRARIANS IN FEDERAL UNIVERSITIES IN SOUTH-WEST, NIGERIA.

This study investigated the influence of social media use on library service delivery by librarians in the Federal Universities in South-West, Nigeria. The survey research design was adopted for the study. Total enumeration sampling technique was used to cover the librarians from the Universities. Data was collected through a structured questionnaire. A response rate of 95.4% was obtained. Frequency counts, percentage, mean and standard deviation were used for the data analysis. The study revealed that the extent of use of social media tools for library services was generally low. Findings also revealed that the most popular social media tool used was Facebook, followed by WhatsApp, You-tube and Instant Message (IM). Erratic power supply, poor internet access, and inadequate ICT facilities were some of the constraints in the use of social media. The study recommended that awareness in the use of social media should be created for effective library services. Also, the library management in conjunction with the management of these Universities should create an enabling environment for the training of librarians on web technology, provide adequate internet access points and tackle erratic power supply. These could motivate the librarians in using social media tools which, in turn, would lead to the enhancement of library services.
The Mini-mental State Examination revisited: ceiling and floor effects after score adjustment for educational level in an aging Mexican population

ABSTRACT Background: The Mini-mental State Examination (MMSE) is the most widely used cognitive test, both in clinical settings and in epidemiological studies. However, correcting its score for education may create ceiling effects when used for poorly educated people and floor effects for those with higher education. Methods: MMSE and a recent cognitive test, the seven minute screen (7MS), were serially administered to a community sample of Mexican elderly. 7MS test scores were equated to MMSE scores. MMSE-equated 7MS differences indicated ceiling or floor effects. An ordinal logistic regression model was fitted to identify predictors of such effects. Results: Poorly educated persons were more prevalent on the side of MMSE ceiling effects. Concentration (serial-sevens), orientation and memory were the three MMSE subscales showing the strongest relationship to MMSE ceiling effects in the multivariate model. Conclusion: Even when MMSE scores are corrected for educational level they still have ceiling and floor effects. These effects should be considered when interpreting data from longitudinal studies of cognitive decline. When an education-adjusted MMSE test is used to screen for cognitive impairment, additional testing may be required to rule out the possibility of mild cognitive impairment.

Co-innovation Experience in Social Product Development Networks: Construct Development and Measurement Validation

Maintaining external actor engagement and participation is one of the main challenges co-innovation networks face. Prior research suggests that co-innovation sustainability depends on actor experience across the innovation cycle starting with idea generation, through product development, to commercialization. Understanding the experiential benefits affecting actors’ participation, therefore, is crucial to improving the co-innovation process and outcomes. A first step toward understanding co-innovation experience is development of a valid and reliable model. This paper introduces a new construct to understand, model, and measure actor experience, and demonstrate why actor experience is critical to predicting actors’ behavioral intentions and maintaining the productivity of co-innovation networks.
The Factors Affecting the Transfer of Training: A Case Study of the Metropolitan Waterworks Authority of Thailand

Abstract This study aims to evaluate the trainees’ behavior in terms of knowledge, skills and attitudes (KSA), as well as to determine the influential factors of the transfer of training of the trainees in the Metropolitan Waterworks Authority’s middle management training program. This study applies both qualitative research method by conducting 360-degree interviews with the trainees and their supervisors, co-workers and subordinates for the trainees’ behavioral evaluation, and quantitative research method by conducting a questionnaire survey with the trainees to identify the influential factors of the transfer of training. The behavioral evaluation indicates that the trainees have been improved in working ability and outcomes, adaptation of acquired knowledge, cooperation, and leadership; and the trainees most successfully transferred the acquired knowledge from the training to the directly relevant works and the equally difficult works. The data analysis results reveal that the most influential factor on transfer of training is the trainees’ characteristics. The results on the influential factors on the transfer of training enable trainees’ behavioral changes and the discovery of new training programs that creates the highest possible learning. The results also imply the significant impact of organizational culture on the transfer of training. The present study provides a fuller understanding of the training program by incorporating from pre-program to post program processes, and reveals the success of the transfer of training in the specific context of Thailand.
