Corporate Social Responsibility For Employee’s Commitment: Does Corporate Reputation Count?

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has attracted the attention of scholars and companies. To keep employees committed and to sustain in a competitive business environment, companies need to ensure the retention of its talent and corporate responsible behaviour. Aiming at examining the effect of CSR on corporate reputation and employee’s commitment, and the mediating role of corporate reputation in influencing the impact of CSR on employee’s commitment in Malaysian banking sector, the study gathered data from randomly selected samples among selected banks’ employees through self-administered survey. Using SmartPLS to analyse the formative higher order structural model, this study revealed that for employees to be committed, companies need to focus on behaving more responsibly to the society and environment, rather than other dimensions of CSR. Organization’s responsible behaviour also contributed significantly to its reputation development. Surprisingly, being perceived as a reputable organization did not show a significant role in mediating the impact of CSR practices on employee’s commitment. Thus, this study confirmed that to gain commitment from its employees, looking good is insufficient. The banks, however, need to be worthy by doing good to its stakeholders 2357-1330 © 2020 Published by European Publisher.

Greening hotels: does motivating hotel employees promote in-role green performance? The role of culture

Abstract In the new global economy, environmentally friendly policies have become a central issue for firms. The increasing attention given to the benefits of those policies has prompted research on the development of environmental management systems that encourage employees to engage in environmental activities. However, there is limited evidence concerning the relationship between employee motivation and employees’ in-role green performance, in addition to the potential impact of culture and organizational citizenship behavior for the environment. Through a quantitative study of 301 managerial and non-managerial employees working in three- to five-star hotels, this study makes a major contribution by demonstrating that practices aimed at motivating hotel employees (e.g. green reward and performance management) are significantly linked with employees’ in-role green performance and organizational citizenship behavior for the environment. The findings also indicate that the influence of green rewards on employees’ in-role green performance and organizational citizenship behaviors for the environment is stronger when hotels are managed by Western corporations. Conversely, the study showed that the effect of green performance management on these two dependent variables is not moderated by culture. This article supports efforts to widen national cultural perspectives in the development and application of green human resource management.
Degradation Kinetics of Betacyanins during the Pasteurization and Storage of Cactus Pear (Opuntia dillenii Haw.) Juice Using the Arrhenius, Eyring, and Ball Models

Betacyanin stability was assessed over temperatures ranging from 60 to 90 °C for cactus pear (Opuntia dillenii Haw.) juice. The juice showed a betacyanin content of 0.76 g/kg. The rate constants for the betacyanin degradation and isothermal kinetic parameters were calculated according to the following three models: Arrhenius, Eyring, and Ball. The fittings of the models were found to be close to one other with SSE values of 0.0964, 0.0964, and 0.0974, respectively. However, because the estimated parameters for the Ball equation happened to be less correlated than the parameters of the other models, this equation was then used for the simulations. The parameters for z and D0 were 42.21 °C and 6.79 × 104 s, respectively. Betacyanins were found to resist typical heat treatment conditions (F70°C values between 100 and 200 min), with a maximum loss of 10% when the temperature was above 80 °C. The time/temperature combinations that could assure both the safety of the product and the preservation of the betacyanins were identified. With Enterococcus faecalis as the reference, when the temperature was 100 °C, the pasteurization time satisfying these two conditions was 0.6 min, whereas it was 180 min when the temperature was 62 °C. The degradation of betacynins during storage was positively correlated with temperature and was accompanied by the appearance of a brown shade.

Ranking Species for Veld Restoration in Semi-Arid Regions Using Agronomic, Morphological and Chemical Parameters of Selected Grass Species at Different Developmental Stages under Controlled Environment

The establishment of complementary native grass species could be an ideal method of dealing with existing problems of veld degradation and inadequate forage quantity and quality of pastures. A greenhouse experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of native grasses viz., Anthephora pubescens, Cenchrus ciliaris, Chloris gayana, Dactylis glomerata, Digitaria eriantha, Eragrostis curvula, Festuca arundinacea, Panicum maximum and Themeda triandra. Attributes at different growth stages on agronomy, morphology and chemical composition were checked. Panicum maximum had the broader (p < 0.05) leaves across all growth stages when compared to all other grass species. Festuca arundinacea had highest (p < 0.05) number of tillers than C. ciliaris, C. gayana, D. glomerata, D. eriantha, E. curvula, P. maximum and T. triandra at 2–4-months age. Within each species, all grasses had the highest (p < 0.05) number of leaves at maturity. Chloris gayana, D. glomerata and P. maximum had the highest (p < 0.05) biomass yield when compared to F. arundinacea at the elongation stage. Eragrostis curvula had the highest (p < 0.05) crude protein (CP) values when compared to all other grasses, except for D. glomerata, F. arundinacea and P. maximum at the elongation stage. Panicum maximum and T. triandra had the least (p < 0.05) acid detergent lignin (ADL) values when compared to all other grasses at both vegetative and the elongation stages. In the ranking, C. ciliaris, C. gayana, D. eriantha, E. curvula, P. maximum and A. pubescens outperformed the rest of the grasses on most parameters. With the low crude protein (CP) content of these grasses, protein supplementation is highly crucial for high performing ruminants, especially those animals that graze grasses as their sole diets.

The study used the quasi-experimental methodology and divided the sample into an experimental group and a control group. After applying the instructional program, the results showed that the experimental group outperformed the control group in acquiring the phonetic sequential-memorization skill. The results showed no statistically significant differences in the phonetic sequential-memorization skill due to the difference of grade. It is concluded that the instructional program has a continuing effect in developing the phonetic sequential-memorization skill among students with learning disabilities in the Aseer region.
Implementation of Convolutional Neural Network and Multilayer Perceptron in Predicting Air Temperature in Padang

Weather prediction is usually performed for a reference in planning future activity. The prediction is performed by considering several parameters, such as temperature, air pressure, humidity, wind, rainfall, and others. In this study, the temperature, as one of weather parameters, is predicted by using time series from January 2015 to December 2017. The data was obtained from Lembaga Ilmu Pengetahuan Indonesia (LIPI) weather measurement station in Muaro Anai, Padang. The predictions were carried out by using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), and the hybrid of CNN-MLP methods. The parameters used in the CNN method, such as the number of filters and kernel size, and used in the MLP method, such as the number of hidden layers and number of neurons, were selected by performing the hyperparameter tuning procedure. After obtaining the best parameters for both methods, the performance of both methods was evaluated by calculating the value of Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and R2. Based on the results, we found that the prediction by CNN is more accurate than other method. This is indicated by the highest value of R2 of the prediction obtained by CNN method.
Design of a Miniature Circularly Polarized Antenna Operating in Three Frequency Bands Using a Polarized Ferrite Material

The purpose of this article is to show the strong potential of ferrite materials to improve antennas performances. Indeed, the combination of circular polarization with miniaturization and multiband frequency operation makes ferrites the ideal solution to optimize antenna’s characteristics. In this work, the complete development of a miniature antenna having dimensions of $(\lambda _{0}/{9.6})\times (\lambda _{0}/{9.1})\times (\lambda _{0}/{27.4})$ at 3.13 GHz, operating over three frequency bands, and having a circular polarization is detailed. The benefit of incorporating such ferrite materials within an antenna on the radiation efficiency, the impedance bandwidth, and the axial ratio is presented. The prototype measurement will validate this development and the simulation results.

Contrastive error analysis of Turkish EFL learners in writing

The aim of this study is to find out to what extent Turkish EFL students make interlingual (interference) and intralingual (developmental) errors in writing at the university level. The mid-term and final examination papers of 50 Turkish EFL students were taken and their errors were categorized into interference and developmental errors. The results of our research have shown that they made a mean of %14.6 interference errors. Thus, this proportion does not confirm the contrastive analysis hypothesis claiming that all errors are due to the negative transfer from the mother tongue. On the other hand, they made a mean of %85.4 developmental errors which are not related to L1. So the results of T? Test indicate that Turkish EFL students made significantly more (p<.001) developmental errors.
Creation and Internal Validation of a Clinical Predictive Model for Fluconazole Resistance in Patients With Candida Bloodstream Infection

Abstract Background Fluconazole is recommended as first-line therapy for candidemia when risk of fluconazole resistance (fluc-R) is low. Lack of methods to estimate resistance risk results in extended use of echinocandins and prolonged hospitalization. This study aimed to develop a clinical predictive model to identify patients at low risk for fluc-R where initial or early step-down fluconazole would be appropriate. Methods Retrospective analysis of hospitalized adult patients with positive blood culture for Candida spp from 2013 to 2019. Multivariable logistic regression model was performed to identify factors associated with fluc-R. Stepwise regression was performed on bootstrapped samples to test individual variable stability and estimate confidence intervals (CIs). We used receiver operating characteristic curves to assess performance across the probability spectrum. Results We identified 539 adults with candidemia and 72 Candida isolates (13.4%) were fluc-R. Increased risk of fluc-R was associated with older age, prior bacterial bloodstream infection (odds ratio [OR], 2.02 [95% CI, 1.13–3.63]), myelodysplastic syndrome (OR, 3.09 [95% CI, 1.13–8.44]), receipt of azole therapy (OR, 5.42 [95% CI, 2.90–10.1]) within 1 year of index blood culture, and history of bone marrow or stem cell transplant (OR, 2.81 [95% CI, 1.41–5.63]). The model had good discrimination (optimism-corrected c-statistic 0.771), and all of the selected variables were stable. The prediction model had a negative predictive value of 95.7% for the selected sensitivity cutoff of 90.3%. Conclusions This model is a potential tool for identifying patients at low risk for fluc-R candidemia to receive first-line or early step-down fluconazole.
A Pyrazine-Bridged Ni(II) Coordination Polymer

The single pyrazine-bridged polymeric complex {[Ni(pyz)(H2O)4](NO3)2.2H2O}n has been synthesised and characterised by elemental analyses, IR and UV-vis spectra, and a single-crystal X-ray diffraction study.

Modelling Attitude towards Consumption of Vegan Products

This study proposes to understand the impact of personal (health awareness and social influence) and moral (environmental concerns and animal welfare) antecedents on attitudes towards veganism and their effects on engagement with vegan products, along with their impact on purchase intention and word of mouth. Idealism is presented as a moderator of these proposed relationships. The study uses a structured questionnaire to gather data from two cross-sectional samples of 224 Portuguese and 356 Brazilian vegans collected from Facebook groups of vegans. Structural equation modelling is used to test the seven proposed hypotheses and the moderation effects. This research compares the influence of personal and moral determinants on veganism using idealism as a specific context to investigate their relationships, comparing Brazilian and Portuguese respondents and the effects of national cultures. Results show that attitudes towards veganism do not depend on personal causes, but rather on moral concerns. Motivations to reduce animal consumption, protect nature, and respect animal life seem to be guided by ethical principles.
Utilization of lyophilized platelet-rich plasma in esthetic facial treatment

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has a variety of functions. Activated platelets release various growth factors and are involved in the tissue repair process. Growth factors from platelets induce fibroblast activation, which produces a new extracellular matrix and collagen. The PRP treatment has been widely used in many surgical and medical fields. However, uncertainties in the quality of the PRP preparation may cause unpredictability in the treatment results. The standardized separation method with quantization of lyophilized platelet-rich plasma (L-PRP) might enhance treatment accuracy. After processing in central laboratory, L-PRP is packed in vials in powder form and readily used immediately after reconstitution. We utilized clinical photography, Visia, DermaLab USB, and histology examination to compare the results before and after treatments. Besides improvements in clinical photos and Visia scores, ultrasound images showed obvious increasing in collagen densities in dermal and subcutaneous layers. The histology study suggested increased collagen formation but without signs of fibrotic change or foreign body reaction. The elastin stain suggested an increased elastic fiber density. The improvement noted by the instruments and histology findings correlated with the improvement of skin texture, decreased wrinkles, and positive clinical outcomes. These results highlight L-PRP’s potential as an efficient and convenient process compared to the original PRP in skin rejuvenation treatment.
Combating Bisexual Erasure: The Correspondence of Implicit and Explicit Sexual Identity

Both straight (i.e., heterosexual) and gay/lesbian individuals still question and erase bisexual identities. Skeptics contend that people adopt bisexual identities for strategic motivations, such as avoiding the stigma associated with identifying as gay, or for attention-seeking purposes. Across two studies, self-identified gay (N = 168), straight (N = 237), and bisexual (N = 231) participants completed a sexual identity Implicit Association Test, a measure that can provide insight into automatic associations and lessen the influence of impression management strategies. All three groups displayed implicit sexual identities that were consistent with their self-ascribed identities. Gay men and lesbians implicitly identified as more gay and less bisexual than bisexual men and women, who in turn identified as less straight and more bisexual than straight men and women. These findings show that self-reported sexual identities converge with implicit identities and have implications for understanding the psychology of sexual orientation.
The Effect Of Online Learning Service Quality On Student Satisfaction During COVID19 Pandemic In 2020

The coronavirus disease in 2019 (COVID 19) becomes the focus of all the countries in the world to finish. This virus is so dangerous that all efforts get done to stop it. Unfortunately, it is impossible to do it, but what can do is by the prevention of its spread. To do it, moreover, the government of Indonesia advises all Indonesians to work from home in all sectors, including education. As one of the responsible higher institutions for educating the students, Universitas Kristen Krida Wacana obeys this suggestion by the work from home for the lecturers to carry on online learning for the students. This study intends to investigate and analyze the online learning quality on the satisfaction of the management students in the faculty of economics and business, taking the subject of human resource management and organizational behavior in 2020. Furthermore, they become the population of this study. By the stratified random sampling method from the community consisting of 76 students and a variance-based structural equation model (SEM), this research grabs 64 students as the sample. It analyzes the collected data associated with latent variables. After testing and analyzing the data, this study infers that the better quality of service online learning, the more satisfied the students. In other words, the implementation of this online learning is successful. Likewise, some practical and theoretical recommendations based on this evidence are available. Keywords – lecturer, online learning service quality; the spread of COVID 19; student satisfaction; work from home
The spiritual experiences of contemporary Māori in Aotearoa New Zealand: A qualitative analysis

ABSTRACT For Aotearoa New Zealand Māori, wairua (spirit) is an integral aspect of existence and important source of well-being. In this qualitative study, 15 Māori participants discuss their personal experiences of wairua. Inductive thematic analysis revealed a diverse range of highly meaningful spiritual experiences occur for Māori, and align with historical accounts about wairua and existing academic research on anomalous experiences. Within Māori culture socially accepted structures exist to reference anomalous experiences against, which facilitate acceptance and normalcy to such occurrences. Valuing and acknowledging Māori spirituality has tremendous therapeutic potential for addressing issues of mental well-being within Aotearoa New Zealand.
