A Vacancy Chain Model of Local Managers’ Career Advancement

Local public managers are mobile in their career trajectories. While the extant public administration literature has predominantly examined this topic from a leadership turnover perspective, few studies have approached the career trajectories of local managers from a holistic, system-level angle. This article draws upon the vacancy chain literature and frames local managers’ interconnected career trajectories within a nationwide professional job market, which we term “leadership turnover chains. ” We examine factors influencing the formation of such leadership turnover chains among cities. With a dataset containing information from the resumes of 517 U.S. local managers across 28 years, we employ panel dyadic logistic regressions to analyze the leadership turnover chains among cities. Our findings suggest that managers are more likely to move among dyads of cities that are geographically close and with similar levels of economic prosperity, population size, racial diversity, and political climate. A promotion intercity turnover tends to take place from a populous city to a less populous city, while a demotion intercity turnover exhibits an opposite pattern. This study contributes to the theory of leadership turnover of local managers, highlighting a macro vacancy chain perspective on their career trajectories.
Exploring the meaning of value-based occupational therapy services from the perspectives of managers, therapists and clients

Introduction There is a worldwide trend towards value-based health care, which strives to control healthcare costs while maximising value for clients. The main concept of value has been defined as health outcomes achieved per US dollar spent. This research explored how clients of occupational therapy services, managers and occupational therapists perceived value in occupational therapy services. Method A qualitative design was used to explore the perspectives of clients (n = 11), occupational therapists (n = 7) and occupational therapy managers (n = 7). Appreciative inquiry guided the two phases of semi-structured interviews (n = 5) and focus groups (n = 6). Inductive and deductive coding were used to establish themes. Findings Three themes encompassed the participants’ perceived value of occupational therapy services: (1) outcomes which are meaningful to daily life, (2) a constructive client–therapist relationship and (3) affordable, coordinated and understandable therapy. Conclusion Participants attributed value to occupational therapy services when they encountered personalised goal setting, focused on meaningful outcomes, managed personal costs and experienced positive therapeutic relationships. Enhancing services could focus on (1) developing skills in collaborative goal setting, (2) determining suitable outcome measures which are meaningful at personal- and service-level reporting, (3) encouraging self-management strategies, and (4) emphasising therapeutic relationships and supporting therapeutic communication skill development.
Leader Dismissal or Continuity, President Longevity, Geographic Orientation of Owners and Team Performance: Insights from French Men’s Football, 1994–2016

We investigated the impacts of president longevity and the geographic orientation of owners on team performance and on the effectiveness of dismissing the leader. In addition, we considered their impacts on the effectiveness of not dismissing the leader while the same organisation fires them at another time for a similar performance. We also tested the impact of dismissing the leader or not on performance. We explored the aforementioned risk-taking relationships in the first tier of French men’s football over the 1994–2016 period (n = 4918 observations). To do so, we used a counterfactual based on the evolution of the team position over the last three games leading to the leader change and estimate linear regression models with fixed team effects. Our findings show that performance improves either after a leader dismissal or not in the same situation, and both president longevity and the geographic orientation of owners impact the effectiveness of dismissing the leader or not. In particular, global- and local-oriented ownerships have a positive impact on the effectiveness of the decision to dismiss the leader or not compared to national-oriented ownership. Practical implications stem from the research, e.g., how organisations with national-oriented ownership can overcome their competitive disadvantage.
The Best and the Worst: TEFL Experts' Opinions of the Most and the Least Important Predictors of Situational Willingness to Communicate

The current study aimed to identify the most and the least important situational properties of second language willingness to communicate (L2WTC) in an EFL context. After reviewing the related literature, 24 influencing factors were identified and then they were prioritized. Ninety TEFL experts participated in the study to answer the research questionnaire. A quantitative research approach applying paired comparison questionnaire was employed. Data analysis was done using Excel spreadsheet for sorting data and calculating the mean and WinQSB software for solving linear programming model. The results showed that, among the selected variables, "the size of the group", "familiarity with topics under discussion", and "interlocutors and familiarity with them" were determined to be the first most important situational variables which highly influence L2WTC. The findings also showed that "attitudes toward the learning situation", "course evaluation criteria" and "alignment with the classroom norms" were the least important factors influencing L2WTC. The significance of the study lies in its theoretical contributions and pedagogical implications it has for the field of second language teaching and learning.
Culinary Tourism

This story sounds wonderful but is rife with problems. Some are minor: For instance, dolcetta isn’t a grape, but dolcetto is, and while Gaja makes one, it typically runs only twenty euros a bottle (and isn’t imported to the United States). Also, you can’t be “disbarred” from an aoc in Italy, because the term there is either doc or docg. Some are more substantial: While Gaja is currently the most famous producer of the Langhe, what he’s famous for is Barbaresco; he does make Barolo as well, but Barolo didn’t make his name. The remainder of the paragraph puts an over-the-top rhetorical spin on a fairly complex but ultimately banal situation. Gaja no longer labels his top wines as Barbaresco and Barolo because they typically include a small percentage of the Barbera grape, and as such, and as Osborne accurately points out, they do not fit docg regulations. But Gaja’s belief that blending improves his wines has long been a matter of public record, and to that end he led a movement to change the docg regulations. When this didn’t succeed, he chose to change the labeling of his wines, but the man himself wasn’t “disbarred” from the docg, nor was any of this particularly secret, much less riddled with “dark gossip,” “scandal,” and so on. Errors like these undermine Osborne’s authority; they make even the casual reader wonder what else might be inaccurate. But for the most part, they’re also solvable problems, the sort of factual slipups that can be fixed easily in the next edition. In the end there’s a surplus of wine writing in the world that imparts information without life, wit, or grace, and those qualities—far more difficult to add later on—are abundant in The Accidental Connoisseur.
Indigenous Freshwater Ichthyofauna in the Dhanu River and Surrounding Wetlands of Bangladesh: Species Diversity, Availability, and Conservation Perspectives

A checklist of the native fishes of the Dhanu River and adjacent waters at Mithamain Upazila under the Kishoreganj district of Bangladesh is prepared with details on their availability, conservation status, habitat preferences, population trends, and threats. Data were collected monthly by field survey, focus group discussions, and personal interviews by using a semi-structured questionnaire and a pictorial check list of fish species. A total of 91 indigenous fish species of 59 genera belonging to 29 families under 11 orders were documented where 17.6%, 27.5%, 31.9%, and 23.1% species were abundantly available, commonly available, moderately available, and rarely available, respectively. Among those, 24 fish species (26.4%) were under the threatened category (3 critically endangered, 11 endangered, and 10 vulnerable) according to the IUCN Bangladesh. Notably, the globally threatened Cirrhinus cirrhosus, Channa orientalis, and Wallago attu were available in the study area. Fish population trends of 24.2% and 59.3% of the entire fish species were found in decreasing trends at the global and national level, respectively. The leading threats to the fish diversity were indiscriminate overfishing followed by fishing by dewatering of wetlands, the katha fishing method, the use of deprecated fishing gears, etc. Minimizing anthropogenic impacts, enacting fishing laws, installing and managing fish sanctuaries, and raising public awareness can be effective for the conservation of existing fisheries resources.
GROUNDS OF MODERN MODELS AND SYSTEMS OF ORGANIZATIONAL CREATIVITY SUPPORT

the actual base, the basis of rules and the mechanism of conclusions but also directly solve issues related to the time frame. In practice, they are called creativity support systems, and they unite various types of information systems to improve creativity. Creativity support systems can be used to enhance the user’s ability to perform creative tasks (the ability that the user owns), to support users in the field of acquiring knowledge, and to provide users with a new experience of creative tasks, which gives them new abilities. There are two types of creative support systems: individual creativity support systems and group creative support systems. The authors substantiate the expediency of creating and using the complex type of systems of support for creativity called “System of support of organizational creativity”. The system of support for organizational creativity opens a new form of creative support. Unlike previous types of systems, such a system allows to increase the competitive advantages of an organization and its productivity by offering quick access to various, heterogeneous, branched out information resources, analyzing them, visualizing them and offering recommendations for creating new useful ideas. The article provides an economic justification for the feasibility of introducing a system of support for organizational creativity on the example of the domestic organization of LLC Energotekhprom. The primary technical requirements for the system were determined to develop a knowledge management system at the enterprise. Based on the developed scheme, the approximate cost of developing and maintaining this system (subject to outsourcing) was determined. The calculation of the effectiveness of the implementation of this innovation project was carried out following international standards and confirmed the feasibility of the project.
Nitrogen-Doped Hollow Mesoporous Carbon Spheres Modified g-C3N4/Bi2O3 Direct Dual Semiconductor Photocatalytic System with Enhanced Antibiotics Degradation under Visible Light

Herein, the nitrogen-doped hollow mesoporous carbon spheres (N-HMCs) modified g-C3N4/Bi2O3 direct dual semiconductor photocatalyst (g-C3N4/Bi2O3@N-HMCs) were synthesized by a facile thermal process. The morphology, structure, elements, and photoelectrochemical properties of the as-prepared samples were characterized by electron microscopy, N2 sorption–desorption, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, diffuse-reflectance spectra, and photoluminescence spectroscopy, among other technologies. The photocatalytic efficiency was evaluated toward degradation of antibiotics tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) and ciprofloxacin hydrochloride (CFH) under visible-light irradiation, and the results showed that the g-C3N4/Bi2O3@N-HMCs composite exhibited superior photocatalytic efficiency than other comparison samples, which could be attributed to the synergistic action of g-C3N4/Bi2O3 direct dual semiconductor photocatalytic system and the N-HMCs. The characterization techniques revealed that N-HMCs play .
Who Are the Homeless? Centering Anti-Black Racism and the Consequences of Colorblind Homeless Policies

Since first becoming a major social issue in the 1980s, homelessness has been a racialized problem in the United States. Its disproportionate impact on Black Americans is primarily driven by structural racism and the limited housing and employment opportunities for Black Americans. The first major federal legislation to address the needs of the United States’ homeless population—the Stewart B. McKinney–Vento Homeless Assistance Act of 1987 omitted the root causes of Black housing instability, thereby proving ineffective at mitigating Black homelessness. As a result, Black Americans remain disproportionately impacted today. In addition to being neglected by the McKinney–Vento Homeless Assistance Act, Black men and women experiencing homelessness are more likely to be discriminated against than any other racial group. For example, Black men are more likely to be arrested than anyone else, and Black women are the most likely to experience hyper-surveillance. This paper uses the Public Identity Framework to argue that in the 1980s, advocates and opponents of homeless legislation created two contradictory public personas to shape public discourse and policies for the homeless. A colorblind public persona was used to pass the McKinney–Vento Homeless Act; meanwhile, the public persona of the “underclass” was used to criminalize and shame the homeless. Both personas operated concurrently to create a dual public identity for the homeless that influenced policy and ultimately harmed Black people.
Article 30

This paper argues that the focus of conservation today should not be on pristine wilderness alone, but on the conservation of ecosystem services and their global distribution. Such services include air and water purification, flood and drought mitigation, and waste detoxification and decomposition. The destruction or impairment of ecosystems by human activity eliminates, or at least makes scarce, the ecosystem services it provides us. Measuring the scarcity value of ecosystem services is challenging to economists because these services are independent of the market system. Concepts like substitution is difficult to apply to ecosystem services because human technology is typically not as efficient as a substitute and our understanding of the intricacies of ecosystems is lacking. To measure ecosystem scarcity value, the paper focuses on the shifting states of lakes between oligotrophic and eutrophic based on phosphorus levels. The process of sudden shifts from oligotrophic steady state (clear water) to eutrophic steady state (turbid water) is based on thresholds of phosphorus level. When a lake is in either state, it is resilient to change back to the other state. For example, it frequently takes a greater reduction in phosphorus level to return a lake to a oligotrophic state than it originally had before it shifted because each state resists change. This paper attempts to give a numerical value to the scarcity value of a lake's ability to reduce phosphorus in the water column (performed by submerged vegetation in a oligotrophic lake) as the level of phosphorus deposition increases and damages the lake's productivity to provide this, among many other, ecosystem services. To determine this scarcity value, the probability that this ecosystem service (phosphorus reduction) will continue to be provided to society. In the example given by this paper, the probability that this ecosystem service will be provided above a minimum acceptable level is 0.8665. Therefore, the scarcity value, or the probability that this service will NOT be provided, is 1 0.8665 = 0.1335.
ASSESSING THE SERVICE QUALITY AND CUSTOMER SATISFACTION RELATIONSHIP IN THE CROATIAN MUSEUM SECTOR

The main purpose of this study was to discuss the impact of perceived service quality dimensions on customer satisfaction in the museum sector in Croatia. The study was conducted using a 24-item questionnaire, based on the modified HISTOQUAL model (Frochot & Hughes, 2000; Hui-Ying & Chao-Chien, 2008; Martin-Ruiz et al., 2010). The questionnaires were distributed to visitors of the Krapina Neanderthal Museum (Croatia). Factor analysis identified five dimensions of perceived museum service quality, namely “tangibles”, “accessibility”, “exhibition presentation”, “empathy” and “communication”. In addition, multiple regression analysis showed that the identified factors have a significant and positive effect on overall customer satisfaction. These results indicate that museum service quality is indeed a significant predictor of museum visitor satisfaction. Thus, improving museum service quality results in higher satisfaction levels of museum visitors. The present study contributes to the existing literature on the relationship between service quality dimensions and customer satisfaction in the museum sector, reporting the findings from South Central Europe.
Heavy metal and mould contamination of herbal medicinal products – an overview

Rośliny zielarskie są powszechnie wykorzystywane jako surowce w przemyśle farmaceutycznym. Od czasów starożytnych ziół używa się w leczeniu i zapobieganiu chorób. Jednakże w dzisiejszych czasach mogą one nie spełniać wymagań dotyczących jakości, bezpieczeństwa i skuteczności. Większość produktów ziołowych nie jest testowana, a ich efekty działania są słabo monitorowane. Konsekwencją tego jest niewystarczająca wiedza na temat przebiegu ich działania, skutków ubocznych, przeciwwskazań oraz interakcji z występującymi na rynku produktami farmaceutycznymi oraz żywnością. Przyczyną negatywnego wpływu surowców ziołowych na organizm może być ich zanieczyszczenie przez różne grzyby pleśniowe, powstające podczas zbioru, przetwarzania, przechowywania, a także dystrybucji. Zanieczyszczenie surowców zielarskich może być również spowodowane przez różnorodne metale ciężkie, które występują w wielu aspektach współczesnego życia. Celem niniejszej pracy jest przegląd informacji na temat stanu mykologicznego i chemicznego roślin leczniczych, a także wskazanie kilku ważnych wyzwań związanych z efektywnym monitorowaniem ich bezpieczeństwa.
On covariation between nasal consonant weakening and anticipatory vowel nasalization: Evidence from a Caribbean and a non-Caribbean dialect of Spanish

In this study, I examine co-variation between the word-final nasal consonant and anticipatory vowel nasalization in two dialects of Spanish. In Caribbean dialects of Spanish, nasalization has been proposed as allophonic (an intended feature of the vowel) but elsewhere it is presumably coarticulatory (a marker of nasal consonant weakening). I argue that, when differences in the phonological interpretation of nasalization are factored in, the temporal extent of nasalization cannot be exclusively attributed to weakening of the nasal consonant. Twenty-eight speakers from Santo Domingo (Dominican Republic) and twenty-six from Buenos Aires (Argentina) were recorded with a nasometer. Findings revealed that when the feature for nasality is phonologized in the representation of the vowel (Santo Domingo Spanish), earlier onset of nasalization can (and does) obtain with little (and arguably even without) weakening of the nasal. By analyzing nasal consonant weakening concurrently with anticipatory vowel nasalization, this study bridges the gap between the aforementioned sources of variation in nasalization.
Assessing trophic status of Suoi Hai Reservoir using Carlson’s Trophic State Index

The water quality of Suoi Hai reservoir, the largest reservoir in Hanoi city, is being threatened by human activities of the surrounding area, as reported by the press. The trophic status of the reservoir is the result of both natural eutrophication and nutrient inputs from anthropogenic sources, particularly the leachate from a lakeside waste treatment plant. This study aims to identify the trophic status of the Suoi Hai reservoir and the changes of water trophic state over space and time. Data of chlorophyll-a concentration, total phosphorus, and Secchi disk depth from 51 sites during three field campaigns in October 2019, August 2020, and March 2021 was used to calculate Carlson’s trophic state index (CTSI). Resultant CTSI (ranged from 60 to 72) allows classifying Suoi Hai reservoir as highly eutrophic water. Its variations in space and time provided evidence for an influence of anthropogenic activities on the reservoir trophic state. Analysis of the trophic state index deviations suggested that total phosphorus is the key factor that influenced the reservoir trophic state. Therefore, managing the anthropogenic nutrient inputs load to the reservoir should be a critical task to control eutrophication in Suoi Hai Reservoir at present.
Reservoir Water Quality Assessment Based
on Chemical Parameters and the Chlorophyll
Dynamics in Relation to Nutrient Regime

Deteriorating water quality has become a global concern. Chungju Reservoir is the largest reservoir in South Korea. Here we describe the long-term spatiotemporal variabilities and prevailing trends in physicochemical and nutrient contributing factors using datasets of 1992-2016. Seasonal, annual, multivariate analytical techniques, and water pollution index (WPI) investigations revealed monsoon rainfall events as major influential element in fluctuating water quality. Total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) concentration was largely affected by the intensity of monsoon rainfall along the longitudinal gradient. Seasonal and inter-annual analyses indicated the reservoir system as being N-rich and strongly P-limited. They also indicated progressive escalation of pH, chemical oxygen demand (COD), TN, and TP – clarifying greater industrial and agricultural runoff. The transition zone (Tz) was crucial for leaching of suspended solids pointing toward an imminent siltation problem. Mann Kendal test confirmed a significantly increasing trend in pH, COD, TN, TP, and ammonium. Principal component analysis disclosed that water quality deterioration cannot be ascribed to a single point source but instead diffused sources. The trophic state index exhibited deviation from larger particles to severe zooplankton grazing as an explicit sign of oligo-mesotrophic state, leading to increased Secchi disk depth. WPI categorize the chemical health status as ‘good. ’ Overall, it could be inferred that water quality was good but may face an impending degradation plus increasing nutrients and chemical loads.
Graphitic carbon nitride‐chitosan composites–anchored palladium nanoparticles as high‐performance catalyst for ammonia borane hydrolysis

The novel composites consisting of graphitic carbon nitride and chitosan (denoted as g‐C3N4‐CS) is synthesized for anchoring palladium nanoparticles. The results reveal that the resultant catalysts possess superior catalytic activity for ammonia borane (AB) hydrolysis. The corresponding turnover frequency reaches up to 27.7 molH2·molPd−1·min−1 at 30.0°C, and the activation energy is as low as 35.3 kJ mol−1. Kinetics study reveals that the hydrolysis reaction is 0.50 and 0.68 orders with AB concentration and palladium concentration, respectively. In addition, the catalytic activity of the resultant Pd(0)/g‐C3N4‐CS catalysts is stable even after 10 runs. The result will be helpful for the development of hydrogen generation and functional materials.
