THE EFFECT OF SERVICE QUALITY AND PASSENGER SATISFACTION ON PASSENGER BEHAVIORAL INTENTIONS ON LION AIR

Low cost airlines or commonly known as Low Cost Carrier (LCC) are currently widely used by most Indonesians for traveling. This is evidenced by the high market share of LCC Airlines, namely Lion Air, for domestic flights in Indonesia. Along with the increasing interest of many of its users, Lion Air must pay attention to the quality of service and passenger satisfaction in order to create behavioral intentions of passengers and the airline. Lion Air has always been the airline of choice for many people, but there are times a decrease in service quality occurs due to many factors that influence it. This study aims to determine the effect of service quality and passenger satisfaction on passenger behavioral intentions. The sampling technique used in this study was systematic random sampling and the total number of all respondents in this study was 100 respondents. Based on the hypotheses in this study, the data were analyzed using a quantitative method. The results of this study indicate that the variable quality of service provided positively contributes to the behavioral intentions of passengers, as well as the variable of passenger satisfaction that is considered to contribute positively to the behavior of its passengers.
The Effects of Earnings on Share Repurchase: Evidence in Malaysia

The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of earnings on share repurchase for firms listed in Bursa Malaysia. The dependent variable in this study is share repurchase while dividend per share, earning per share, and operating income are the proxies to earnings representing the independent variables. The analysis uses data from the time series for the period of 2014 to 2018 on an annual basis. The information is gathered using secondary data gathered from the Bursa Malaysia Terminal and accessed through the data stream. The results of this study revealed that earning per share and operating income have a significant positive effect on share repurchase. In other words, earning per share reduces the number of outstanding shares in the market while operating income encourages excess income to be spent for share repurchase activity. On the other hand, the dividend per share has an inverse impact on the share repurchase. The findings of this study not only benefit the body of knowledge and current literature but also act as a useful tool for the management and key stakeholders to influence their decisions in conducting share repurchase activity in Malaysia.
Corporate Determinants and Human Resource Accounting Disclosure of Listed Banks in Nigeria

The study investigates whether a significant relationship exists between corporate determinants and human resource accounting disclosure of selected banks in Nigeria. It also looks at whether human resource accounting disclosure is influenced by banks profitability, firm size and listing age. Data were obtained from the annual reports and corporate websites of the selected banks for the periods between 2014 and 2018. In testing the research hypotheses, the study engaged the use of panel least square regression in analysing the data. The findings revealed that there is a significant positive relationship between profitability, firm size and human resource accounting disclosure. However, listing age exhibited no relationship with human resource accounting disclosure. The study recommends that listed banks in Nigeria should be encouraged to mandatorily disclose human resource accounting information so as to enhance their social reputation and reduce the potential agency costs. International Journal of Human Resource Studies ISSN 2162-3058 2020, Vol. 10, No. 4 http://ijhrs.macrothink. org 304 Also, the study contributes to the existing models, in terms of depicting specific attributes that measure the determinants of human resource accounting disclosure of listed banks in Nigeria.
Bias caused by reliance on patient-reported outcome measures in non-blinded randomized trials: an in-depth look at exercise therapy for chronic fatigue syndrome

ABSTRACT Background Several randomized trials have reported that graded exercise therapy (GET) is an effective treatment for chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). These trials were not blinded and relied on patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). We investigate whether bias introduced by this study design influenced the results. Methods We extracted standardized mean differences from the most recent meta-analysis on exercise therapy for CFS to analyze their size, consistency over time, and congruence with objective measurements. A narrative review methodology was used to examine mediation analyses, plausible mechanisms of improvement, and risk of response bias. Results Patient-reported improvements in exercise trials for CFS tend to be small, transient, and poorly supported by objective measurements. The risk of expectancy effects and response bias was high as patients were actively encouraged to adopt a positive attitude towards exercise therapy. Mediation analyses suggest that self-reported improvements in fatigue and physical function are not mediated by objective measures of fitness. Conclusions Treatment effects seen in exercise trials for CFS could be the result of bias associated with the use of PROMs in non-blinded trials. This might explain the discrepancy between positive results reported in randomized trials and views on exercise therapy expressed by patient organizations. We hope that this case study furthers critical assessment of patient-reported improvements in areas of medicine where blinding of therapists and trial participants faces practical limitations.
Corporate social responsibility and employee moral identity: a practice-based approach

ABSTRACT This study draws from the hospitality sector to examine how hotel employees use their self-perceived moral identity to inform their CSR implementation practices. Specifically, we employ a practice-based approach to investigate how skills, resources and meanings of CSR as a morally determined concept manifest in employee CSR actions. Study findings reveal that hotel employees’ behaviours towards CSR implementation is not necessarily consistent with their self-perceived moral identity, identifying two forms of practices undertaken by employees: (a) immersing in CSR implementation by propagating morality and (b) avoiding CSR implementation by concealing immorality. The study offers a matrix of moral identity and CSR employee behaviour, which illustrates four different types of employees encapsulating their CSR behavioural spectrum. The study concludes with a discussion of the relevant theoretical and practical implications.
The Home as Workplace: A Challenge for Housing Research

ABSTRACT The aim of this paper is to examine the increasing use of the home as a workplace and establish its significance for housing studies. Firstly, the article sketches its historical growth founded in technological and business model changes. Using cross-country datasets, it identifies variations across the EU in the scale and characteristics of home working, which by 2015 was the practice for about 1 in 6 EU workers, a ratio that has been greatly boosted by responses to the coronavirus pandemic. Secondly, the article considers the implications of increasing home working for housing studies. This is illustrated through a consideration of influences on our understanding of housing demand, particularly in terms of housing form and location. Further, we consider consequences for other areas of theory on the meaning of home, boundaries between public and private realms, and gender perspectives on the division of domestic work and space.
Carboniferous macrofloral biostratigraphy: an overview

Abstract In the Carboniferous, terrestrial vegetation became widespread, diverse and abundant. The resulting fossil record has proved to be an effective biostratigraphic tool for intra- and interbasinal correlations. Besides palaeogeographical configurations, Carboniferous plant biostratigraphy is affected by a transition from greenhouse conditions during most of the Mississippian to an icehouse climate in the Pennsylvanian. The greenhouse Mississippian climate resulted in weak provincialism, with a cosmopolitan flora ranging from the tropics to middle latitudes. The global cooling around the Mississippian–Pennsylvanian boundary enhanced development of a latitudinal climatic zonation and related floral provincialism. These changes are expressed in the recognition of distinct realms or kingdoms, where the tropical Amerosinian Realm (or Euramerican and Cathaysian realms) is surrounded by the Angaran and Gondwanan realms occupying middle to high latitudes of the northern and southern hemispheres, respectively. Floristic endemism in the Pennsylvanian precludes development of a global macrofloral biostratigraphy. Instead, each realm or area has its own biostratigraphic scheme. Poorer and less diverse floras of the Gondwanan and Angaran realms resulted in the establishment of relatively low-resolution macrofloral biostratigraphic schemes. Higher-resolution macrofloral zonations exist only in the tropical Amerosinian Realm due to diverse and abundant floras dominated by free-sporing and early seed plants occupying extensive wetlands.
Assessment of Hydroxyapatite Nanospheres Incorporated Dentin Adhesive. A SEM/EDX, Micro-Raman, Microtensile and Micro-Indentation Study

Hydroxyapatite (HA) delivery with resin adhesives has potential for re-mineralization of resin–dentin interface. The study prepared an adhesive containing HA and confirmed its presence in adhesive and interaction with the dentin using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and Micro-Raman spectroscopy. The aim was to assess the influence of HA incorporation in dentin adhesive on its microtensile bond strength (μ-tbs) and Knoop microhardness (KHN). Thirty teeth each were bonded with CA and HA adhesive using a 10-s smear and photo-polymerized. The specimens in each adhesive group (CA and HA) were divided into sub-groups of 24 h, 8 weeks, and 16 weeks (n = 10) aging durations. μ-tbs was assessed at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/minute and bonded interface was analyzed using SEM (n = 20) and Raman spectroscopy (n = 10). Softening of HA adhesive and CA was assessed using KHN. HA adhesive presented higher μ-tbs compared to CA. With an increase in storage time, HA adhesive presented with 100% adhesive failure. Softening was less and KHN was higher for HA adhesive compared to CA (p < 0.05). KHN reduction was higher in CA [19.6 (5.1)%] compared to the HA adhesives [9.7 (4.5)%]. HA adhesive showed superior μTBS and microhardness compared to CA. In the absence of nanoleakage, HA modified adhesive exhibited enhanced bond integrity and better durability of resin dentin bond compared to control adhesive.
The Role of Co-Units in Polymer Crystallization and Melting: New Insights from Studies on Syndiotactic Poly(propene-co-octene)

The effect of noncrystallizable units on the crystallization and melting was studied for two octene copolymers of syndiotactic polypropylene, in an extension of previous investigations on a homopolymer sample with 3% meso diads. Using time and temperature dependent SAXS experiments and DSC, we determined the dependencies of the crystal thickness, the rate of crystallization, and the melting point on the chosen crystallization temperature. With an increase in the content of noncrystallizable units (octene units or meso diads; both show equal effects), we observed, as expected, a shift of the melting points to lower temperatures and similar shifts of the growth rate versus temperature curves, but surprisingly, no effect at all on the crystal thickness. The thicknesses of all three samples show a common temperature dependence, being inversely proportional to the supercooling below the equilibrium melting point of perfect syndiotactic polypropylene. The latter is located at 196 °C, as determined by an extrapo.
Overview of the Norwegian Earth System Model (NorESM2) and key climate response of CMIP6 DECK, historical, and scenario simulations

Abstract. The second version of the coupled Norwegian Earth System Model (NorESM2) is presented and evaluated. NorESM2 is based on the second version of the Community Earth System Model (CESM2) and shares with CESM2 the computer code infrastructure and many Earth system model components. However, NorESM2 employs entirely different ocean and ocean biogeochemistry models. The atmosphere component of NorESM2 (CAM-Nor) includes a different module for aerosol physics and chemistry, including interactions with cloud and radiation; additionally, CAM-Nor includes improvements in the formulation of local dry and moist energy conservation, in local and global angular momentum conservation, and in the computations for deep convection and air–sea fluxes. The surface components of NorESM2 have minor changes in the albedo calculations and to land and sea-ice models. We present results from simulations with NorESM2 that were carried out for the sixth phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6). Two versions of the model are used: one with lower ( ∼ 2 ∘ ) atmosphere–land resolution and one with medium ( ∼ 1 ∘ ) atmosphere–land resolution. The stability of the pre-industrial climate and the sensitivity of the model to abrupt and gradual quadrupling of CO 2 are assessed, along with the ability of the model to simulate the historical climate under the CMIP6 forcings. Compared to observations and reanalyses, NorESM2 represents an improvement over previous versions of NorESM in most aspects. NorESM2 appears less sensitive to greenhouse gas forcing than its predecessors, with an estimated equilibrium climate sensitivity of 2.5 K in both resolutions on a 150-year time frame; however, this estimate increases with the time window and the climate sensitivity at equilibration is much higher. We also consider the model response to future scenarios as defined by selected Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) from the Scenario Model Intercomparison Project defined under CMIP6. Under the four scenarios (SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, and SSP5-8.5), the warming in the period 2090–2099 compared to 1850–1879 reaches 1.3, 2.2, 3.0, and 3.9 K in NorESM2-LM, and 1.3, 2.1, 3.1, and 3.9 K in NorESM-MM, robustly similar in both resolutions. NorESM2-LM shows a rather satisfactory evolution of recent sea-ice area. In NorESM2-LM, an ice-free Arctic Ocean is only avoided in the SSP1-2.6 scenario.
Antiseptic Use in Orthopaedic Wounds

Objectives: The aim of this study is to review the available literature addressing the safety and efficacy of antiseptics in surgical wounds. The different antiseptic solutions, irrigation volumes, time scales and delivery methods have been compared so that evidence-based recommendations on antiseptic use in orthopaedic, foot and ankle surgical procedures can be proposed. Methods: A literature search was performed using the online databases Medline and EMBase to identify in-vitro and in-vivo studies pertaining to antiseptic use in an orthopaedic context. Terms including antiseptic, irrigation fluid, bacitracin, hydrogen peroxide, povidone-iodine and chlorhexidine were searched. Literature published in English from inception to July 2020 in which the full text was accessible was considered for inclusion. Cellular and animal studies were included on the basis that authors analysed antiseptic efficacy and/or toxic effect of antiseptic on cells present in orthopaedic wounds. Clinical studies that met the criteria for inclusion in this review assessed antiseptic use in a surgical context, with a focus on foot and ankle procedures. These included case reports, case series, case control, prospective and retrospective studies as well as randomised controlled trials. Studies were categorised as in-vitro, animal and human studies. Twenty-three, eleven and forty-four studies were identified as in-vitro, animal and human studies respectively. These have been summarised and presented herein in a narrative format. Review Article Begum et al.; JPRI, 32(30): 46-61, 2020; Article no.JPRI. 62678 47 Results: There is strong evidence that skin preparation with antiseptics before orthopaedic procedures reduces the risk of post-operative infection. Conclusion: Routine prophylactic intra-operative antiseptic use should be performed with caution as they increase the risk of local and systemic complications. However, there is strong evidence supporting the use of antiseptics pre-operatively when preparing the skin. Determining the best antiseptic preparation remains a matter of debate since a single agent or solution is not effective against all organisms. Further research is therefore needed to assess the efficacy of antiseptics in prevention and treatment of infections.
Tropical Cyclone Compound Flood Hazard Assessment: From Investigating Drivers to Quantifying Extreme Water Levels

Compound flooding, characterized by the co‐occurrence of multiple flood mechanisms, is a major threat to coastlines across the globe. Tropical cyclones (TCs) are responsible for many compound floods due to their storm surge and intense rainfall. Previous efforts to quantify compound flood hazard have typically adopted statistical approaches that may be unable to fully capture spatio‐temporal dynamics between rainfall‐runoff and storm surge, which ultimately impact total water levels. In contrast, we pose a physics‐driven approach that utilizes a large set of realistic TC events and a simplified physics‐based rainfall model and simulates each event within a hydrodynamic model framework. We apply our approach to investigate TC flooding in the Cape Fear River, NC. We find TC approach angle, forward speed, and intensity are relevant for compound flood potential, but rainfall rate and time lag between the centroid of rainfall and peak storm tide are the strongest predictors of compounding magnitude. Neglecting rainfall underestimates 100‐year flood depths across 28% of the floodplain, and taking the maximum of each hazard modeled separately still underestimates 16% of the floodplain. We find the main stem of the river is surge‐dominated, upstream portions of small streams and pluvial areas are rainfall dominated, but midstream portions of streams are compounding zones, and areas close to the coastline are surge dominated for lower return periods but compounding zones for high return periods (100 years). Our method links joint rainfall‐surge occurrence to actual flood impacts and demonstrates how compound flooding is distributed across coastal catchments.
An integrative literature review exploring the impact of alcohol workplace policies

PurposeAlcohol workplace policies (AWPs) can help organizations to manage and support employees with alcohol-related problems. Over the last two decades, there has been a slow but steady rise of research on AWPs with some indication that these can contribute to reducing employee excessive consumption. However, there does not appear to be any empirical literature reviews to consolidate and evaluate what this body of evidence says regarding the impact of these policies. The following review seeks to address this gap.Design/methodology/approachFive electronic databases were searched for papers published between January 1996 and January 2020. To capture additional relevant papers (including those from non-peer reviewed sources), the search was extended to Google Scholar, professional and human resource management websites, trade publications and the website of one United Kingdom (UK)-based alcohol charity. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were used to systematically screen the paper titles, abstracts and full-text records. 14 papers were deemed eligible and therefore included in the integrative review. After extracting data, all 14 papers were appraised for quality and then analysed using the narrative synthesis guide by Popay et al. (2006). FindingsFive themes were identified, namely, Associations between Policy and Consumption Levels/Patterns, Deterrence, Policy and Programme Type, Knowledge and Understanding and Enforcement and Discipline. These themes encapsulated what the included papers concluded about the impact and associated benefits or challenges of AWPs.Research limitations/implicationsThis review identifies that despite the benefits of AWPs, up to 40% of workplaces do not have these policies in place. Future research needs to explicitly explore the reasons for this.Practical implicationsThis review highlights that AWPs can benefit employees and workplaces. Therefore, organizations are encouraged to develop and implement AWPs to support health improvement and prevention of alcohol problems in the workplace.Originality/valueThis review provides a current synthesis of literature published over the last two decades regarding the impact of AWPs on employees and workplaces.
Equations of state of hard body fluids

Extension of the recently proposed equation of state of hard spheres to the HS mixtures and to systems of hard nonspherical bodies is given in the first part. Employing the SPT expression for the residual chemical potential a new set of equations of state is formulated for hard body fluids in the second part. Comparisons based on the virial coefficients and compressibility factors reveal high accuracy of these equations in describing the P-V-T behaviour of hard sphere fluids. The equations of the latter set describe accurately also the system of fused hard sphere models.
Inheritance and Expressivity of Neoplasm Trait in Crosses between the Domestic Pea (Pisum sativum subsp. sativum) and Tall Wild Pea (Pisum sativum subsp. elatius)

The Neoplasm trait in pea pods is reported to be due to the lack of ultraviolet (UV) light in glasshouse conditions or in response to pea weevil (Bruchus pisorum L.) damage. This pod deformation arises from the growth of non-meristematic tissue on pods of domesticated peas (Pisum sativum L. subsp. sativum). Neither expressivity, nor the effect of pea weevil on neoplasm in the tall wild pea (P. sativum L. subsp. elatius (M. Bieb.) Asch. & Graebn. ), have been adequately studied. We aimed to study the expression and inheritance of neoplasm in the tall wild pea and crosses between domesticated and tall wild peas grown in the glasshouse (without pea weevils) and in the field (with pea weevils) under natural infestation conditions. Neoplasm was found in all pods in tall wild peas when grown in the glasshouse, while it was not detected on pods of field-grown plants despite heavy pea weevil damage. In inter-subspecific crosses between P. sativum subsp. sativum and P. sativum subsp. elatius, all F1 plants had neoplastic pods, and the F2 populations segregated in a good fit ratio of 3 (neoplasm): 1 (free from neoplasm) under glasshouse conditions, which suggests that neoplasm on pods of the tall wild pea was controlled by a single dominant gene. Expressivity of neoplasm in the progeny differed from parent to parent used in inter-subspecific crosses. There was no relationship between neoplasm and damage by pea weevil under heavy insect epidemics under field conditions. The neoplasm occurring under glasshouse conditions may be due to one or to a combination of environmental factors. Since wild peas are useful genetic resources for breeding programs aiming at fresh pea production that could be utilized under glasshouse conditions, negative selection could be considered in segregating populations.
Parry Romberg disease with En Coup de Sabre Scleroderma: Effect of tocilizumab on periodontal bone inflammation

Parry Romberg disease and En Coupe de Sabre Scleroderma are frequently associated disorders that affect the face and can cause severe aesthetic and functional impairment. Systemic immunosuppression is the gold standard of first-line treatment in the pediatric rheumatology standpoint although it is often delayed in the pediatric dermatology clinics and more often used in cases of refractory neurological impairment. We report on a case with dental root resorption and severe periodontal bone inflammation detected on magnetic resonance imaging, which was successfully treated with the anti-IL-6 agent tocilizumab.
