The mediating effect of tacit knowledge sharing in predicting innovative behaviour from trust

The main purpose of this research is to examine a mediating effect understanding of tacit knowledge sharing on both affect and cognition-based trust with innovative behaviour in a Malaysian public teaching hospital. A quantitative method approach within a post-positivist paradigm using questionnaire was employed to gather data for the study and analyses were performed using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) which confirmed using partial least square (PLS). The results of analysing339 nurse –nurse supervisor dyads revealed that tacit knowledge sharing mediates the relationship between affect and cognition-based trust with innovative behaviour. In the future, more research on Malaysian teaching hospitals is needed to explore the willingness to share tacit knowledge. This study pointed out that supervisor in a teaching hospital may need to use this finding in developing ways to ensure innovative behaviour is practice efficiently among the nurses. This study adds to the body of knowledge about the effect of tacit knowledge sharing on trust and innovative behaviour of nursing employees.
INVESTIGATION OF THE FLOW OVER NACELLE / PYLON AND WING CONTROLLED WITH A VORTEX GENERATOR IN HIGH-LIFT CONFIGURATION

Aerodynamic performance near maximum lift condition of high-lift configuration commercial aircraft model was improved by a kind of vortex generator “chine” installed on the nacelle in lowspeed wind tunnel testing. At first, interference between a nacelle and a main-wing was observed using experimental and also computational results. Then, the optimum location for the chine is explored applying an efficient design process using Generic Algorism (GA) with Kriging surrogate model in the experiment. Results of PIV measurement have clarified how the longitudinal vortex from the chine controls separated flow field structure near the nacelle/pylon and slat-cutoff region.
The Interplay among Emotions , Creativity and Emotional Intelligence : A Case of Iranian EFL Teachers

Mohammad Reza Ebrahimi Tahereh Heydarnejad (Corresponding Author) Hossein Najjari Department of English, University of Gonabad Gonabad, Iran ABSTRACT It goes without saying that educators strive for the ideal of developing higher order thinking skills like critical, reflective, logical, metacognitive, and creative thinking among their learners. Wundt (1916) considered lower order skills like Emotions as the base for the creation of these skills. Research on emotions and Emotional Intelligence has significantly increased over the past two decades with many fields contributing including psychology, neuroscience, sociology and endocrinology. The current study tried to uncover the interplay among Creativity, Emotions and Emotional Intelligence. To this end, the researchers studied the relationship of the constructs among 160 EFL learners. The results of the study showed no relationship between EQ and creativity, however, EQ components positively and significantly influence positive emotions and the reverse is true for negative emotions; EQ influences negative emotions, negatively and significantly. The findings of the current study could help further the knowledge on the interplay among Emotional issues and Creativity.
SIMULATION OF CRACK PROPAGATION IN RC SHEAR WALL USING A 3 D RIGID-BODY-SPRING MODEL WITH RANDOM GEOMETRY

The use of a discrete-type numerical approach based on the three-dimensional RigidBody-Spring Model (RBSM) is proposed to simulate the crack propagation behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) shear walls subjected to monotonic and cyclic loadings, which are tested in the context of the international benchmark ConCrack (http://www.concrack.org/). In the RBSM, concrete is modeled as an assemblage of rigid particles interconnected by springs along their boundaries. The proposed model in this study utilizes the random particle configuration obtained from Voronoi tessellation, which reduces mesh bias on potential cracking directions. Reinforcing bar is modeled by a series of beam elements and load transfer between the beam nodes and the concrete particles is provided by linkage elements. The bond-slip characteristic of the reinforcing bar is introduced to the linkage spring. This model can realistically simulate localized and oriented phenomena, such as cracking, its propagation, frictional slip and so on, in concrete structures. The authors have already developed the constitutive models for the above mentioned model and the model has been validated through the simulations of the responses of concrete specimen subjected to uniaxial tension, uniaxial and triaxial compression. It can simulate not only tensile cracking but also fracture localization in compression. In this study, the constitutive models were extended to include cyclic effects and the model was validated through the simulations of the RC panel tests under cyclic loadings, which were reported in the literatures. Furthermore, the simulations of the RC shear wall tests were carried out, and the capability of the model to predict the detailed cracking information, such as crack width, spacing and direction of propagation is discussed.
Reynolds number dependence of the velocity shear effects on flow around a circular cylinder 1

Three-dimensional Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) and Large Eddy Simulation (LES) are performed to investigate the shear effects on flow around a circular cylinder at Reynolds numbers of Re=60-1000. The shear parameter β, which is based on the velocity gradient, cylinder diameter and upstream mean velocity at the center plane of the cylinder, varies from 0 to 0.30. Variations of Strouhal number, drag and lift coefficients, and unsteady wake structures with shear parameter, and their dependences on Reynolds number, are studied. Present simulation not only confirms our previous experimental findings, but also provides new and detailed information of the flow around a cylinder circular in shear flow with respect to the effects of both velocity shear and Reynolds number. It is shown that the Strouhal number has no significant variation with shear parameter. The stagnation point moves to the high-velocity side almost linearly with shear parameter and this mainly influences the aerodynamic forces acting on a circular cylinder in shear flow. Reynolds number has little influence in determining the movement of the stagnation point but plays important roles in the movement of the separation point. Mode A wake instability at Re=200 was suppressed into a parallel vortex shedding mode in strong shear flow.

Measuring long term disease ‐ control in atopic dermatitis: a validation study of well controlled weeks. Journal of Allergy and Clinical

Background: Because atopic dermatitis (AD) is a relapsing remitting disease, assessing long-term control is important. Well-controlled weeks (WCWs) have been used to assess asthma long-term control but have never been validated for AD. Objectives: We sought to assess the feasibility, validity, and interpretability of WCWs in patients with AD. Methods: Three studies of patients with moderate-to-severe AD, including 4 to 6 months of daily/weekly symptom and treatment use data, were evaluated (study A, n 5 336; study B, n 5 60; and study C, n 5 224). WCWs were deﬁned by worsening symptoms and increased medication use. Feasibility, construct validity, and interpretability of WCWs were determined by assessing missing data, association with validated AD outcomes, and ﬂoor and ceiling effects. Analysis used linear and logistic regression. Results: WCWs were feasible to collect: 95.2% (study A) and 94.7% (study B) contributed data for at least half of the weekly data points, and 93.2% and 88.7% contributed to all data points up to 4 months. WCWs were signiﬁcantly associated with validated AD severity instruments, including patient-orientated outcome measures and objective signs (Eczema Area and Severity Index, Three Item Severity Score, and Six Signs, Six Areas Atopic Dermatitis Scale). The odds of experiencing a WCW if AD severity was clear/mild was 5.8 (95% CI, 3.5-9.7), 1.9 (95% CI, 0.8-4.4), and 8.1 (95% CI, 4.5-14.6) in studies A, B, and C, respectively. WCWs were associated with ceiling effects: 31.6% (study A) and 37.5% (study B) of participants had no WCWs more than 90% of the time. Conclusions: WCWs are valid and feasible for measuring long-term control in AD trials. However, ceiling effects and burden of data collection can limit use. (J Allergy Clin Immunol 2017; nnn : nnn - nnn .) participants (37.5%) spent more than 90% of the study period without a WCW.
6 Dynamics of Wall-Bounded Turbulence

The first direct numerical simulations (DNS) of wall-bounded turbulence (Kim et al., 1987) began to appear soon after computers became powerful enough to allow the simulation of turbulence in general (Siggia, 1981; Rogallo, 1981). Large-eddy simulations (LES) of wall-bounded flows had been published before (Deardorff, 1970; Moin and Kim, 1982) but, after DNS became current, they were de-emphasized as means of clarifying the flow physics, in part because doubts emerged about the effect of the poorly resolved near-wall region on the rest of the flow. Some of the work summarized below has eased those misgivings, and there are probably few reasons to distrust the information provided by LES on the largest flow structures, but any review of the physical results of numerics in the recent past necessarily has to deal mostly with DNS. Only atmospheric scientists, for whom the prospect of direct simulation remains remote, have continued to use LES to study the mechanics of the atmospheric surface layer (see, for example, Deardorff, 1973; Siebesma et al., 2003). A summary of the early years of numerical turbulence research can be found in Rogallo and Moin (1984) and Moin and Mahesh (1998). Here, we review the advances that have taken place in its application to wall-bounded flows since the first of those two papers, and, in particular, what we have learned during that time about
Impact of deforestation and different agronomical management regimes on biodiversity of mountain ecosystem

NOVÁK, J., OPITZ VON BOBERFELD, W. , JAVOREKOVÁ, S. 2011. Impact of deforestation and different agronomical management regimes on biodiversity of mountain ecosystem. Folia oecol. , 38: 183–190. The experiment was carried out on a mountain grassland established at an altitude of 845 m in 2006–2008, after deforestation of naturally reforested pasture. The aim of research was to examine the changes in plant diversity and concentration of ergosterol in above-ground phytomass of grassland with different regimes of management. The increasing of phytodiversity on variants P (grazing), KP (grazing followed by mowing) and BM (control) during 3 years after deforestation is connected with a relatively low proportion of grasses dominated by Agrostis capillaris. A high percentage of legumes, particularly Trifolium repens, was the only presented on variant VP (grazing on burn plots). Higher number of species on variants KP and PP (grazing after reseeding with clover-grass mixture) resulted in a higher index of diversity. The values of Shannon’s index of diversity (H) increased the most on variant PP over the years, where high-value species of grasses sown also influenced the grassland quality (EGQ). The lowest values of H were achieved on variant VP, where the grassland quality value (EGQ) was surprisedly the highest due to the dominance of Trifolium repens monoceonosis. On variant BM (without management) the diversity index has decreased due to reforestation (7 kinds of plants). The concentration of ergosterol in the aboveground phytomass of grassland depended on quantity of pathogenic fungi in the soil, and moisture conditions in the autumn of 2006–2008.
UvA-DARE ( Digital Academic Repository ) Effects of Social Anxiety on Emotional Mimicry and Contagion : Feeling Negative , but Smiling

Socially anxiety may be related to a different pattern of facial mimicry and contagion of others’ emotions. We report two studies in which participants with different levels of social anxiety reacted to others’ emotional displays, either shown on a computer screen (Study 1) or in an actual social interaction (Study 2). Study 1 examined facial mimicry and emotional contagion in response to displays of happiness, anger, fear, and contempt. Participants mimicked negative and positive emotions to some extent, but we found no relation between mimicry and the social anxiety level of the participants. Furthermore, socially anxious individuals were more prone to experience negative emotions and felt more irritated in response to negative emotion displays. In Study 2, we found that social anxiety was related to enhanced mimicry of smiling, but this was only the case for polite smiles and not for enjoyment smiles. These results suggest that socially anxious individuals tend to catch negative emotions from others, but suppress their expression by & Corine Dijk k.f. l.dijk@uva.nl Agneta H. Fischer A.H.

of the Forty Third Spring Conference of the Union of Bulgarian Mathematicians Borovetz , April 2 – 6 , 2014 APPLICATION OF GENERALIZED PATHSEEKER REGULARIZED REGRESSION

This paper presents an application of one of the latest regression methods – generalized PathSeeker (GPS), stemming from the new generation of predictive techniques which use the data mining approach. The method is designed for statistical analysis of data, when classical parametric modeling is not applicable or does not provide sufficiently good results. Experimental data from the field of laser technology have been processed using GPS and associated data mining techniques such as TreeNet, ISLE and RuleRunner. The influence of 10 operating laser parameters on the output power of copper bromide vapor lasers has been modeled. The obtained best linear regression models have high coefficients of determination R = 98% for the learn sample and 97% for the test sample. Advantages and disadvantages of the GPS method have been discussed.
The Role of Leadership by School Principals in Enhancing Quality Academic Performance in Secondary Schools in Kenya

Article History Received: 17.07. 2018 Accepted: 13.08. 2018 Published: 30.08. 2018 Abstract: The provision of education in Kenya has been tremendous over the past years. Notwithstanding the fact that a major stride through the secondary education policy has been attained, the current indicators exhibit high levels of inefficiency. This is evidenced by high national poor performance in national examinations in many schools. The quality of education, including its relevance to the country’s needs has also been questioned. The study intended to highlight the role of leadership among secondary schools principals in improving academic performance among students. Leadership is viewed as an ingredient in accounting for differences in the success of schools. The study utilized quantitative survey approach and involved 364 respondents in Trans Nzoia County. The study found a positive correlation between the role of principals and quality academic performance. It recommended that school principals should be pivotal in transforming their schools into successful institutions through enhancement of curriculum, development of instruction and learning environment and leadership styles. Principals are pivotal in transforming their institutions.
The Middle Pleistocene Avifauna of Spinagallo Cave ( Sicily , Italy ) : Preliminary Report

A preliminary study of the middle Pleistocene birds from Spinagallo Cave (Siracusa, Sicily) shows an avifauna composed of 61 species (28 Passeriformes and 33 non-Passeriformes), including Anseriformes, Falconiformes, Gruiformes, Charadriformes, and Strigiformes. Three extinct taxa, probably new to science, include a large Tyto, a long-legged Athene, and a small species of Corvidae to be described later. Paleoenvironmental reconstruction of the site indicates a temperate climate, like the present or slightly colder.
FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT , EXPORTS and OUTPUT GROWTH of TURKEY : CAUSALITY ANALYSIS

The beginning of 1980s constituted a turning point in the economic life of Turkey. At the time, the government decided to shift the economy from an inward oriented and protective system to an outward oriented and liberalized environment. In 1980 the Turkish government initiated a series of reforms to accomplish a major policy shift from import substitution to an export led growth (ELG) strategy, mainly by liberalizing foreign trade. The lifting of repressive controls on financial markets, referred to as financial liberalization, was realized gradually over 1980s as a part of this policy change. Turkey liberalized its capital accounts in 1989, taking an important step towards integrating its economy with the global economic system. The realization of financial liberalization did not solve Turkey’s main economic problems as expected. Although capital inflows contribute to economic growth through their positive effect on private consumption and investment Celasun, Denizer and He (1998), resulted in currency substitution, thereby aggravating inflationary pressure on the economy and rendering monetary policy ineffective. Despite the unstable economic environment in Turkey, capital flows into the country increased steadily after 1990, with net capital inflows reaching more than four percent of gross domestic product (GDP) in some years. Although Turkey made progress in attracting foreign direct investment (FDI), total FDI never reached more than 0.5 percent of GDP in 1990s. This is one of the most salient features of capital flows to Turkey. The major policy shift from import substitution to ELG substantially increased Turkey’s export figures and, together with a dynamic private manufacturing sector, Turkey became a major manufacturing base for a number of multinational corporations. Such development, however, have not brought about a corresponding increase in capital inflows. Accordingly, Turkish FDI levels have stagnated over the last 15 years while FDI worldwide increased by a factor of 12 in the same period. These developments indicate that Turkey’s outward looking policies should include FDI as another important component of its growth strategy. This paper aims at demonstrating the effect of Turkey’s liberalization process on economic growth by investigating a Granger causal relationship running from exports to economic growth in Turkey from 1987-I to 2002-IV. Additionally, causality tests among trade, FDI and output for the same period are performed to show the inter-relatedness of trade, FDI and growth. The results indicate that the integration of the Turkish economy with the world economy should be enhanced with policies to attract more FDI in order to gain the spill over effects of FDI to output and FDI-led export growth.

Majority voting of ensemble classifiers to improve shoreline extraction of medium resolution satellite images

Coastal zones are constantly exposed to changes caused by natural processes, anthropogenic activities or both, which can precariously alter the coastal landscapes of many countries. Thus, monitoring of coastal zones is needed to provide important information about current conditions of a countrys coastal areas by examining changes that are taking place. In this respect, such monitoring can be carried out by traditional ground survey, airborne aerial photo, or remote sensing. However, the former is more effective and efficient as it can extract vital boundary information from satellite images using appropriate image analysis. Nonetheless, shoreline extraction has a number of challenges, and many methods have been proposed to improve such extraction, such as the use of machine learning methods. Thus, this study was carried out to determine the most effective ensemble voting classifier based on two different types of classifiers, comprising 11 single classifiers and 4 ensemble classifiers. Performance criteria of the classifiers were based on the overall accuracy, training time, and testing time. The analysis of the experimental data revealed several interesting results. First, for the combination of single and ensemble classifiers, ensemble classifiers with majority voting of Random Forest and Support Vector Machine RBF kernel were the most effective classifiers, attaining high overall accuracy. Second, for the combination of two single classifiers, Multilayer Perceptron and k-Nearest Neighbor attained high overall accuracy, rendering them as the most effective classifiers in this category of classifiers. Third, there were trade-offs between performance measures, as increased overall accuracy was accompanied by longer training and testing time in the performance of such classifiers as both of voting-based ensemble classifiers increased significantly.
Effect of Planting Density on Yield and Yield Components of Sugarcane at Wonji-Shoa

An experiment was conducted at Whonji-Shoa Sugar Estate plantation from 2005-2008 to determine the effect of four intra-row sett spacing [10 cm between setts, 5 cm between setts, setts placed end-to-end, and setts placed ear-to-ear (5 cm overlapping)] on the performance of three sugarcane varieties (B52298, NCo334 and N14). The experiment was carried out on clay loam textured soil on plant cane and first ratoon crops in a split plot design. Analysis of variance revealed that the parameters stalk weight, number of millable canes, cane yield, sucrose percent cane and estimated sugar yield were significantly (p<0.01) affected only by the main effect of variety in both the plant and ratoon crops, however, the main effects of spacing as well as the interaction of variety and intra-row spacing were not significant. Therefore, 10 cm intra-row spacing between setts was found to be best to use since it economizes planting material of all three sugarcane varieties without compromising both cane and sugar yields.
Connecting Representations and Mathematical Ideas with GeoGebra

Representations facilitate acquisition of mathematical notions and provide help to the learners in their thinking. A meaningful understanding of mathematical concepts can be attained when a variety of representations are developed and the functioning relationships are established among them. Traditional teaching approaches dominated by the use of chalk and board appear to be not so productive to help students establish connections between the representations. Nevertheless, the availability of instructional technology has enabled teachers to highlight interrelations between the representations of mathematical concepts so that their students could develop a much better understanding of these notions. In this chapter, we try illustrate opportunities that a recently developed computer program GeoGebra offers in teaching and learning mathematics. The scope of this chapter is limited to the discussion of three aspects of GeoGebra in teaching algebra. These include: supporting operational and structural conceptions of the functions, illustrating factual knowledge associated with the equation systems, and constructing graphical models for the solution of algebra problems.
