Relationship between Servant Leadership in Organizational Culture, Organizational Commitment, Organizational Citizenship Behaviour and Customer Satisfaction

This paper aims to analyze the impact of servant leadership on organizational culture, organizational commitment, organizational citizenship behavior (OCB), and customer satisfaction. This paper also aims to analyze the impact of organizational culture, organizational commitment, and OCB on customer satisfaction.Data was obtained from 240 handycraft customers in the community of handicraft craftsmen in Bekasi Regency. The data was analyzed by using Structural Equation Modeling. The validity and reliability test by using factor analysis shows that the instrument used in research is valid and reliable. The results showed: servant leadership correlated significantly with organizational culture; servant leadership is significantly related to OCB;OCB has a significant relationship with organizational commitment; servant leadership has a significant relationship with customer satisfaction;and organizational commitment has a significant relationship with customer satisfaction.Therefore, servant leadership can have a direct relationship with customer satisfaction, and servant leadership can be organizational culture. Knowledge of the effect of these relationships can be used as input to design strategies to improve customer satisfaction. The findings of the effect of servant leadership in the organizational culture on customer satisfaction have been discussed, however, there are limitations and guidelines for future research that needs to be shown.
Effects of Dietary Antibiotic and Cinnamon Oil Supplementation on Antioxidant Enzyme Activities, Cholesterol Levels and Fatty Acid Compositions of Serum and Meat in Broiler Chickens

The aim of the present study was to investigate potential hypocholesterolaemic antioxidant activities of cinnamon oil and antibiotic, and their effects on fatty acid compositions of serum and meat in broilers. A total of 240 Ross-308 chicks, five days old, were divided randomly into four treatment groups composed of 60 chicks each. Experimental groups were: corn-soybean meal basal diet (Control), basal diet supplemented with 10 ppm avilamycin (antibiotic) and 500 or 1000 ppm of cinnamon oil (C500, C1000). Cinnamon oil lowered cholesterol levels of serum (P < 0.01), breast and thigh meat (P < 0.05) in cinnamon groups compared to control and antibiotic groups. Serum malondialdehyde (MDA, nmol/g protein) level was reduced significantly in C1000 group (P < 0.05). Glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px,µkat/g protein) and catalase (CAT, kat/l) enzyme activities were different among the groups (P < 0.001). The higher levels of GSH-Px and CAT were obtained in C1000 group, the lower levels of these indicators were obtained in the antibiotic group. Total saturated fatty acid (SFA) ratio decreased and total unsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) ratio, ω-6 fatty acids increased significantly in serum and thigh meat in cinnamon groups (P < 0.01). These results showed that cinnamon oil had hypocholesterolaemic and antioxidant characteristics, and it also improved meat quality.
Menstrual Cycle and Ovarian Hormone Effects on Plasma and Platelet Monoamine Oxidase (MAO) and Plasma Dopamine‐Beta‐Hydroxylase (DBH) Activities in the Rhesus Monkey

&NA; Dopamine‐B‐hydroxylase (DBH) and monoamine oxidase (MAO) in plasma and platelets were studied in six female rhesus monkeys during three complete menstrual cycles. The same monoamine enzymes of seven bilaterally ovariectomized females were compared with a group of controls. A difference was found in platelet MAO between a mid‐menstrual‐cycle peak and a perimenstrual trough in these animals, while plasma MAO was unchanged. DBH showed an inverted cyclical variation to that demonstrated by platelet MAO. The ovariectomized females showed significant differences from the controls, confirming the effects of the ovarian sex steroid hormones on platelet MAO and plasma DBH. The variation in these peripheral enzymes may be reflective of changes in brain monoamine systems, which may play some role in the behavioral changes observed during the menstrual cycle in primates.
Changes of Langerhans cells during skin ageing

Introduction During the process of skin ageing, changes occur in all skin layers and all cells, including the Langerhans cells. Aim To assess whether any quantitative difference in the number of CD1a+ LC cells/mm2 and HLA-DR+ LC cells/mm2 as well as in their morphological features can be observed during the course of different types of skin ageing. Material and methods The study was conducted in a group of 60 women, which was divided into three independent groups: group I with symptoms of menopausal skin ageing, group II with symptoms of photoageing, group III with symptoms of chronological ageing. Skin biopsy samples were taken from the pre-auricular region from all of the participants. The number of CD1a+ LC cells/mm2 and HLA-DR+ LC cells/mm2 as well as their morphological features were evaluated. Results The frequency of CD1a+ LC and HLA-DR+ LC in all the studied groups was diverse. In groups I and III, the LC with large cell bodies and long, multi-branched processes were the majority. In group II, the LC had small cell bodies and their processes were mainly short and unbranched. Conclusions The obtained results indicate the presence of quantitative and morphological changes of the CD1a+ LC and HLA-DR+ LC during the course of different types of skin ageing.
Debt and fiscal responsibility in a federal structure: The case of Pakistan

A recent amendment in Pakistan’s federal constitution allows provinces to borrow domestically and abroad. There is a concern that it may generate unsustainable debt burden, considering the country’s delinquent monetary policy and a historical deficit bias. The objective of this paper is to assess sustainability of public debt. First, we use Cecchetti, et al. (2010) methodology to regress public debt on indicators of fiscal stance i.e. primary deficit and structural deficit at federal level for the period 1976-2011. We conclude that fiscal stance remained opportunistically expansionary. Next, we look at debt sustainability and its implications for macroeconomic management at provincial level by separating the effects of growth and inflation on provincial public debt, interest payments, and primary balance by using the framework of Liu, et al. (2009). Our findings suggest declining debt sustainability at provincial level, which calls for a strong regulatory framework and coordination between federal and provincial debt strategies.
Participation in Recreation and Leisure Activities in Long-Term Care Facilities and Health Related Quality of Life

The purpose of this paper was to examine predicted variations in Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) among individuals over the age of 65 residing in Long Term Care (LTC) facilities. Variables related to self-care, depression, gender, social support, and leisure activities were examined. Univariate analysis was conducted from data collected from 110 LTC residents from 15 assisted living facilities (ALF) and nursing homes (NH) throughout Arkansas and a standard multiple regression was employed. Linear combinations of independent variables were significantly correlated to variations of HRQoL. More specifically, higher ratings in depression were positively correlated to lower ratings of HRQoL. Higher activity participation was positively related to lower ratings of HRQoL. Marital status and educational level was negatively correlated to higher ratings of HRQoL. Findings suggest that more research is needed to determine how variations in leisure activities impact HRQoL and how to employ a wider range of leisure activities that promote HRQoL in older adults residing in LTC.
Experimental Stapedectomy: The Internal Ear Changes

THE changes in the internal ear which occur after stapedectomy in the experimental animal have so far received scant attention in the literature. For this reason the effects of stapedectomy on the human internal ear remain somewhat speculative though light has been thrown upon the problem by the contributions of Bellucci and Wolff (1958), (i960). Singleton and Schuknecht (1959), Schuknecht and Tonndorf (i960), Schuknecht and Oleksuik (i960) and Harris (1961). The present paper describes the post-operative changes in the internal ears of eighteen cats and the relevance of these changes to human stapes surgery is discussed. The results of these experiments supplied material for an earlier paper (Colman, i960) which dealt with the appearances of successful grafts across the oval window after removal of the stapes and made no attempt to describe the results of an imperfect operation or of failure. The animals were usually killed at sixteen to eighteen weeks by intravital perfusion with Ringer's solution followed by Heidenhain-Susa solution as a fixative. As indicated in the earlier paper the types of graft were skin, mucosa (advocated byTato, i960), vein (Shea, 1958), conjunctiva, connective tissue and adipose tissue (Schuknecht, McGee and Colman, i960). The table overleaf indicates the abnormalities recognized in the internal ears and shows the type of graft used in the animal concerned.
Early Spontaneous Leg Movements in Infants Born with and Without Myelomeningocele

Purpose: To compare quantity and quality of spontaneous leg movements during early infancy in babies with myelomeningocele (MMC) and babies with typical development (TD). Methods: Nine infants with MMC and 12 with TD moved spontaneously while supine for 5 minutes at ages 1, 3, and 6 months. We used a 6-camera system to monitor leg movements. Resultant leg displacement and velocity were used to determine movement frequency and, for each movement, duration, distance, peak velocity, jerk, and number of acceleration peaks. Results: Movements of infants with MMC were shorter in duration with fewer acceleration peaks than their peers. Asymmetrical interlimb frequencies in infants with TD resulted in one leg moving more than the other, which was similar to the lower symmetrical interlimb frequencies of infants with MMC. Conclusions: Infants with MMC show depressed movement activity. Further research is needed to determine if therapy can facilitate spontaneous activity and leg control.
The relation between CEO Pay-performance Sensitivity and Firm Performance - the mediating role of Work/Life Benefits.

Executive compensation and Work Life Balance have been two topics of much debate. Much discussion has been done about the level, structure and role of CEO compensation in the firm performance, while in the same time there are concerns whether companies should provide employees with the balance of work and family. This balance can be achieved by providing Work Life Benefits to employees in order to help them with many facets of their lives such us their well being and their family. The aim of this study is to investigate the mediator effect of Work Life Benefits on the relationship between firm performance and pay performance sensitivity. To test this theory, the delta of the portfolio of the CEO and the company performance of 404 US companies for the time period 2006 to 2010 has been studied. The results of this study suggest a partial mediator effect of Work Life Benefits on the relationship between Pay performance sensitivity and Company Performance.

Exploiting the Skin Effect Using Radio Frequency Communication in Underwater Communication

This paper describes a series of experiments of underwater radio frequency communications both in fresh water and sea water. We observed than due to skin effect, radio waves attenuated rapidly at first before skin depth appears and then attenuated gently just as theoretical prediction. The relationship between skin depth and frequency in water is discussed and graphical relationship is also given. It's turned out that radio waves propagate much harder in sea water than in fresh water.
The Influence of Behavioral Factors in Making Investment Decisions and Performance: Study on Investors of Colombo Stock Exchange, Sri Lanka

The main objective of this study is exploring the behavioral factors influencing individual investors’ decisions at the Colombo Stock Exchange. Furthermore, the relations between these factors and investment performance are also examined. As there are limited studies about behavioral finance in Sri Lanka, this study is expected to contribute significantly to the development of this field in Sri Lanka. The study begins with the existing theories in behavioral finance, based on which, hypotheses are proposed. Then, these hypotheses are tested through the questionnaires distributed to individual investors at the Colombo Stock Exchange. The collected data are analyzed by using SPSS. The result shows that there are four behavioral factors affecting the investment decisions of individual investors at the Colombo Stock Exchange which are Herding, Heuristics, Prospect and Market. Most of the variables from all factors have moderate impacts whereas anchoring variable from heuristic factor has high influence and choice of stock variable from herding factor has low influence on investment decision. This study also tries to find out the influence of behavioral factors on investment performance. Among the behavioral factors mentioned above, only three variables are found to influence the investment performance: choice of stock has negative influence which is from herding factor. Over confidence from heuristics factor has negative influence on investment performance. Anchoring from heuristics factor has positive influence on investment performance. All other variables which are volume of stock, buying and selling and speed of herding variables of herding factor, loss aversion and regret aversion variables of prospect factor and market information and customer preference variables of market factor do not have influence on investment performance.
Management of drug therapy in the elderly.

DRUG therapy in the elderly is complicated by many factors unique to this age group. Because it requires careful individualization, such therapy should be based on the principles of pharmacokinetics. Multiple disease processes, environmental influences, and genetic variation often combine with the physiologic effects of aging to affect the disposition of drugs in this heterogeneous population (Table 1). It is therefore difficult to generalize about the effects of age alone. Unfortunately, there has been relatively little investigation of the effects of age at the sites of drug action. In addition, little information is available about drug disposition and response in .
Indigenous Entrepreneurs and Ecotourism Product: Success or Collapse?

Sarawak consists of various indigenous groups that in return promotes vast diversity in culture ethnicity and enriched the tourism industry of Sarawak. Nonetheless, the interdependency of these groups with the nature has create an opportunity to established themselves as a distinguish entrepreneur, utilizing the ecotourism as their source of income. The study identify the awareness of ecotourism within these groups in realizing the importance of business opportunities related to ecotourism, factors that influenced indigenous to become an entrepreneur, and also the factors that affect their income. Descriptive and factor analysis was used to identify the awareness, plus the influenced factors of the entrepreneur. The study found that most of them realized that ecotourism offered a platform for them to market their products, and the main reason why they become an entrepreneur is their own interest and selfrealization in sustaining the nature. The study has created a platform for this indigenous group to identify their strength and weakness and so does the society in appreciating the ecotourism products.
IS WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT IMPORTANT? EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE FROM MANUFACTURING COMPANIES IN GHANA

The objective of the study is to empirically examine the effect of working capital management on performance of manufacturing firms in Ghana. The study used six listed manufacturing companies on the Ghana Stock Exchange for the period 2008-2014. Correlation and regression analyses were used to analyze the effect of working capital management on manufacturing firms’ performance. The study examines the effect of different components of working capital management on firm’s performance. The study finds that the current ratio, average collection period and the accounts payable period have positive effect on profitability. However, only the current ratio has statistical significance. Also, while inventory conversion period as well as the cash conversion cycle have negative effect on performance, they are all statistically insignificant. It is recommended that finance managers should implement efficient and effective ways of managing working capital management. Emphasis should be placed on average payment period, improving sales growth and maintaining higher current ratio.
Effects of syntactic and semantic argument structure on sentence repetition in agrammatism: Things we can learn from particles and prepositions

Background: Sentence production impairment in aphasia has been attributed to several possible sources that are not mutually exclusive. Linguistic accounts often attribute the difficulty to the complexity of a verb's syntactic and/or semantic argument structure. Cognitive processing accounts emphasise the reduced processing capacity observed in agrammatic aphasia, which in turn has been attributed to reduced semantic short-term memory (STM) or slowed processing. Aims: In this study we used verb particles and prepositions to investigate effects of differences in syntactic and semantic argument structure on sentence repetition in aphasia. We predicted that verb particles and sentences containing verb-particle constructions would be easier to repeat than prepositions and prepositional transitive sentences, as the former have a less-complex semantic and syntactic argument structure than the latter. Also, semantic and phonological spans were assessed to determine if a reduction in either capacity correlates with repetition ability. Methods & Procedures: Participants were eight individuals with chronic aphasia. The experimental task was repetition of transitive sentences balanced for length and lexical content containing either verb particles or prepositional object structures. Accuracy of sentence repetition and repetition of verb particles and prepositions within sentences was examined. We calculated the effect of structural complexity on the sentence repetition task as the difference between proportion correct of verb-particle constructions and prepositional transitives. Semantic and phonological STM spans and word spans were also assessed and correlated with this measure of the structural complexity effect on sentence repetition. Outcomes & Results: Verb-particle sentences were repeated correctly significantly more often than prepositional transitive sentences, and within those sentences verbal particles were repeated correctly significantly more often than prepositions. The effect was strongly associated with fluency scores: it was present in participants with low fluency scores, but not in those with high fluency scores. The phonological, but not the semantic, STM probe span measure correlated with both the difference in accurate repetition of verb-particle and prepositional transitive sentences and the particles and prepositions within those sentences. Conclusions: Results indicate that differences in argument structure of particle and preposition constructions influence sentence repetition in agrammatic aphasia. The finding that lower fluency scores are associated with poorer performance on more complex structures suggests that this effect is associated with agrammatism. The impact of these structural distinctions between particles and prepositions should be taken into account during development of treatment stimuli for those with agrammatism.
Bluetooth network for micro-uavs for communication network and embedded range only localization

The use of the Bluetooth smart technology as a communication framework to interconnect the robots is presented in this paper. Moreover, signal metrics of this network are used to provide an embedded Range Only localization scheme (RO-SLAM). When working with teams of robots, the communication between them is very important as it allows them to cooperate for the performing of the tasks. Additionally, being able to localize each other can allow the robots to optimize tasks and work more efficiently. Having both communication and localization integrated on-board in an small device is advantageous for micro-aerial systems in which payload is highly limited.
Performance comparison of advanced techniques for voltage dip detection

Several different approaches for the detection of voltage dips in electic power systems have been proposed in the literature to overcome the limits of the procedure proposed by the International Standard, based on the voltage root mean square. In this paper the most promising of these approaches are compared, by computer simulations, in terms of both statistical performance and response time, which is a critical issue for the development of real-time compensation systems.
Patient attitudes - training students in general practice.

BACKGROUND While evidence from Australian studies is lacking, evidence from overseas suggests that patients are generally willing to have a medical student present during general practitioner consultations. This willingness, however, may be contingent upon factors related to the patient, student or consultation. METHOD Focus groups and two cross sectional surveys of 296 patients attending 16 general practices in New South Wales. RESULTS Patients are willing to have students present, but not for all consultations. Patients find it problematic to have students present during consultations that involve worrying test results, emotional upset, internal examinations, and sexual problems. Younger patients are less willing to have a student present. For all patients the presence of a student may alter the dynamics and content of the consultation; patients are less willing to see a student without the GP also being present. DISCUSSION Supervising GPs should be aware of circumstances where patients are less likely to want a student present and of ways in which the presence of a student may alter the consultation.
