Purpose: By combining the Job Demand–Resources model with Arnold’s action sequence as the overall logic, this study explores the connections between abusive supervision and job performance. Participants and Methods: This study employed two-point surveys, with 474 valid responses, to reduce the risk of common method bias. On this basis, confirmatory factor analysis was used to test the reliability and validity of data, and Smart-PLS was used to test the hypotheses. Results: Our findings suggest that abusive supervision has a significant positive impact on job performance. Furthermore, challenge stressors and innovative work behavior partially mediate the relationship between abusive supervision and job performance, and these two factors also form a chain mediating effect. Leader-member exchange moderates the relationship between abusive supervision and job performance, as higher levels of leader-member exchange are associated with a stronger positive effect of abusive supervision on job performance. Practical Implications: This study provides insights to managers about the link between abusive supervision and employee performance. In addition, it recommends that leaders at all levels adopt abusive supervision when they can properly consider a specific employee’s perception of the reasons for their behavior and must consider the previous inclusion in the manager’s circle of members, as well as the link between the challenging pressures they face and innovative work behavior to deal with such management behaviors. Originality: Most research on abusive management has focused on its negative effects on employee performance. This study, by contrast, explores whether there are positive impacts from abusive management and when such positive effects will occur.
Fiber morphology in walnut branchwood: Relation to the branch diameter, branching level, and tension wood

The branchwood of fruit trees is being promoted to supplement the fiber material for paper manufacturing in China. This study was conducted to investigate the fiber morphology of walnut branchwood, and to highlight its potential utilizations in papermaking. The effects of the branch diameter, branching level, and tension wood on the fiber morphology were also investigated. The results showed that approximately 65% of the fibers were longer than 900 µm, 95% of the fibers had a slenderness ratio greater than 40, and 67% of the fibers had a Runkel ratio less than 1. It is evident from the results that the fiber morphology of walnut branchwood is reasonably good for paper manufacturing. However, the diameter of the branch does not provide reliable information to predict the fiber morphometrics. In addition, the branching level and tension wood are not very helpful in the screening of fiber raw materials.
Knowledge and Perception of Paser Local Community in East Kalimantan on Critically Endangered River Biuku/Beluku (Batagur borneoensis) Conservation

Kendilo watersheds in Paser district is the largest of wild Biuku/Beluku (Batagur borneoensis) habitat and distribution. However, lack of knowledge among the local communities based on morphological characteristics, perception and human habit and activities may accelerate population decline in its habitat. To overcome this problem, community-based conservation is a valuable tool to educate community and carry out sustainable conservation program. This study was aimed to identify and analyse the knowledge and perception of a local community in Paser. This research was quantitative descriptive research using analytic observation and online questionnaires. Indicators of perception included knowledge, attitude, and action. Respondents consisted of 48 people who lived around the Paser river. This study found that Biuku/Beluku, identified as Batagur borneoensis has main morphological characters included five fore toes and four hinds with membrane; shell has a keel on the dorsal scales with a greyish black colour; relatively small and medium head; pointed snout; the colour of the legs is brownish black. In addition, the members of the local community in Paser were classified as having good awareness of the presence of Biuku/Beluku, with average 4. A total of 60% of respondents knew that Biuku/Beluku as protected reptile, and 80% noticed that the landings and population were decreasing every year because of degradation habitat and human activities. This study strengthened that a knowledgeable and participative local community can produce better outcome in sustaining a Biuku/Beluku conservation programme.

Stigma towards People with Mental Illness among Portuguese Nursing Students

Stigma is a substantial obstacle when caring for people with mental illness. Nursing students’ negative attitudes towards people with mental illness may impact the quality of care delivered and consequentially patient outcomes. In this study, we assessed the stigmatising attitudes and beliefs of nursing students towards people with mental illness and examined its relationship with several psycho-socio-demographic variables. This was a quantitative, cross-sectional descriptive correlational study, which was developed with a non-probabilistic convenience sample of 110 nursing students. Stigmatising attitudes and beliefs were assessed using the Portuguese version of the Attribution Questionnaire AQ-27. Results show that the dimensions of stigma with higher scores were help, pity, coercion and avoidance. However, significant differences were only observed depending on the year of study (fourth-year students, who already had clinical placements in this area, are less likely to show stigma), the relationship (family is less prone to show coercion), the history of mental health treatment (students with a history of mental health treatment have more tendency to help) and whether they considered working in the mental health field (students who have considered working in this field are less prone to show anger, avoidance and think of patients as dangerous). Therefore, we conclude that education in a classroom setting alone is not enough to reduce stigma in nursing students, clinical placement in the area is required to achieve such results. It is thus essential to improve nursing curricula worldwide so that students are exposed to both psychiatric nursing theory and clinical practice in the first years of the nursing degree.
Seismic Vulnerability of a Slender Stalagmite

ABSTRACT Seismic vulnerability of speleothems may serve long-term seismic risk studies. For this reason, the seismic response of stalagmite is computed using a robust FEM model calibrated from free vibration records by Hilbert–Huang modal extraction. It is demonstrated that the stalagmite vibrations consist of pairs of closely coupled flexural natural modes with a negligible role of vertical excitations. The location of the breaking point of the stalagmite is a result of a balance between the overturning bending moment and variations of horizontal cross-sections with height. Safety margins are investigated, and the ultimate peak velocity of excitations equaling 3.4 mm/s is estimated.
Extended Interval Dosing Natalizumab and impact on neuropsychological deficits in Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis

Background: Cognitive impairment and neuropsychiatric symptoms are frequently reported in Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS). Natalizumab (NTZ) is usually administered on a 4-weekly Standard Interval Dosing (SID) schedule. However, Extended Interval Dosing (EID) at 6–8 weekly intervals has been proven non-inferior regarding relapse risk, with a lower risk of Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy (PML). The impact of EID NTZ on neuropsychological deficits in RRMS has not been studied. Objective: To determine if EID NTZ demonstrates an improvement in neuropsychological parameters in RRMS patients. Method: We performed a retrospective, observational analysis of 34 RRMS patients treated between August 2015–2017. Patients underwent baseline neuropsychological testing before commencing EID NTZ. A second evaluation was performed, on average 28 months after commencing treatment. Results: Z scores at the initial assessment showed baseline cognitive impairment in multiple domains. 14/20 Z-scores showed an improvement post-NTZ and 5/14 reached statistical significance; namely Trails A (visual attention/processing speed), Line-orientation (visual-spatial), Picture-naming (word finding), Digital-Span (attention, executive function and memory) and Story-recall (memory). The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) data remained unchanged. Correlation matrix showed no association between HADS scores, the time between assessments and the changes in Z scores. Conclusion: This data suggests the efficacy of EID NTZ in improving cognitive impairment in RRMS. A prospective observational study is warranted.
Differentiation of Self, Life Span Theory, and Higher Stages of Human Development

What are the relationships among differentiation of self in Bowen theory, the object-referral/self-referral continuum of self in life-span development theory, and enduring self-states associated with peak experiences during meditation practice? Examining their interactions has practical implications: Can self-development in one system support development in others? Thirty-seven students were administered Skowron and Friedlander's Differentiation of Self Inventory (DSI) and the Survey of Peak Experiences (SPE), measuring frequency of momentary transcendent experiences during rest and enduring peak experiences during activity and sleep. Scores on the DSI in these subjects were similar to those in other adult populations. Between the two measures, there was a strong correlation between lower Fusion with Others and lower Emotional Reactivity on the DSI and higher peak experiences during rest and sleep on the SPE. Growth of the self-referral aspect of self, which is associated with peak experiences cultivated by transcendence, were meaningfully correlated with two subscales of differentiation of self.
Development and Validation of Multi-Residue Method for Drugs Analysis in Human Feces by Liquid Chromatography–Tandem Mass Spectrometry

The use of veterinary drugs in animal production is a common practice to secure animal and human health. However, residues of administrated drugs could be present in animal food products. Levels of drugs in food of animal origin are regulated within the European Union. In recent years, residues have been detected not only in food, but also in the environmental elements such as water or soil, meaning that humans are involuntarily exposed to these substances. This article presents a multiclass method for the analysis of various therapeutic groups of pharmaceuticals in human feces. Pharmaceuticals are extracted from feces with an acid extraction solvent, and after filtration the extract was analyzed by HPLC–MS/MS. A limit of detection of 10 ng/g was achieved for 9 pharmaceuticals, with linearity over 0.99 and repeatability and reproducibility lower than 20%. The method was satisfactorily applied in 25 feces samples of individuals that had declared not to be under medical treatment for the last two months. Results indicate the presence of six different compounds at concentration between 10 and 456 ng/g. This preliminary study showed the involuntary exposure of human gut microbiota to active substances such as pharmaceuticals
Housing and Child Health in South Africa: The Value of Longitudinal Research

Research investigating the link between housing and health often produces mixed results. It does not always prove that good housing improves health. The results suggest a complex set of factors play a role, and the findings are sometimes contradictory. Two ways of addressing these concerns are longitudinal research, where the relationship between housing and health is measured in the short and medium terms, and a focus on children. We use the children’s housing and health data from the five waves of the National Income and Distribution Survey (NIDS) survey in South Africa, 2008 to 2017. We investigate the effect that continued living in informal housing over the five waves has had on these children’s health. Our results show a statistically significant relationship between prolonged residence in poor housing and poor health outcomes for some health indicators. The results call for a closer understanding of health issues in housing policy in South Africa.
The awareness of judicial accounting techniques towards the expectations of the external auditor in detecting fraud and its impact on the performance

Judicial accounting outputs are reports that guide judges in conflicting parties over financial litigation, supporting judicial cases, and settling and resolving disputes. As a discipline, judicial accounting applies the science and knowledge of accounting, such as finance, taxation and auditing in the form in which the judicial accountant can provide his expert opinion, through the availability of a set of techniques in the field of fraud investigation and support of lawsuits, to investigate the allegations alleged by the relevant parties, especially those allegations related to the existence of fraud, as the objective of the judicial accountant will depend on the purpose of his assignment, including investigating the presence of fraud. The external auditor's reliance on the sampling method when checking financial disclosure and his lack of responsibility for detecting fraud highlights the importance of judicial accounting in detecting fraud by employing a set of techniques, to assist him in detecting fraud. The achievement of its objectives by the judicial accountant also requires set of characteristics such as education, training, diverse experience in the field of accounting, auditing and law, oral and written communication skills, and the ability to work in a team environment. Judicial accounting is based on a range of techniques, for instance, including Benford's law, computer-based audit tools, data mining and analysis to show the role of judicial accounting techniques in the judicial accountant’s awareness of his duties towards the external auditor in detecting fraud and its impact on developing his performance.
The Effect of Early or Late Breeding on Milk Production in High Producing Lactating Dairy Cows

The objective of this study was to compare the effect of early or late breeding on milk production in high producing dairy cows. In this aim, the cows with previous average peak milk yield above 45 kg/d (n = 48) were divided into two groups; Group1 (early bred) included the cows (n = 21) were inseminated between 45 to 75 days in milk (DIM) and Group2 (n = 27; late bred) were inseminated between 76 to 124 DIM. The cows that became pregnant at their first insemination following first estrus selected for the study. Milk yield was recorded every 5 days after calving for the first 45 days then continued for every 15 days for every each cow. Average DIM in early and late bred cows at insemination were 66 (min, 45; max, 75) and 99 (min, 76; max, 124), respectively. Average milk yield up to 271 d was similar between groups, however, average milk yield from 227 to 271 d was lower ( P < 0.04) in early bred cows with 26.7 kg/d compare to late bred cows with 30.3 kg/d. Even, there was no relationship between average milk yield up to 271 d, peak milk yield and day of insemination, it may be concluded that milk yield continues with more pronounced stability through the end of
Implementation of Green Human Resource Management Practices: Barriers and Solutions

71 DOI: 10.37398/JSR.2021. 650911 Abstract: Scarcity of resources and environmental challenges are the problems that are influencing our Asian economy. Sustainability concept is gaining importance nowadays. Thereby, aim of sustainable development of organizations can be achieved through effective implementation of green human resource management practices. Aim of this study is to determine the implementation level of green human resource management practices. Further, it will also explore the challenges faced by the organizations during its implementation. Researcher have collected data from employees working in manufacturing as well as service sector. The Mixed methodology approach has been adopted for getting more reliable results and greater insights. Employees were interviewed to get greater insights concerning issues related to implementing Green Human Resource Management. Findings of the study revealed low to moderate level of implementation of green human resource management practices due to the barriers faced during its implementation. The key practices that are being highly followed in manufacturing and service organizations are Green Involvement, Green Training & Development and Green Performance Appraisal. The top impediment that are being faced during the implementation of green human resource management practices includes “Weak Incentives for achieving targets”, “Lack of awareness regarding the concept of green human resource management” and “Lack of Prior planning to implement green human resource management practices”.
Professional Development Practices, Promotions and Organizational Commitment: A Propoundment of Professional Integration Interaction Practices (PIIP) Model

Public universities in Uganda have been challenged by levels of organisational commitment of their academic staff. This study alluded to influence of professional development practices at Makerere and Kyambogo universities on organisational commitment of the academic staff. The study used a descriptive cross-sectional survey design with both qualitative and quantitative approaches, with a study sample of 320 academic staffs from both Makerere and Kyambogo Universities, selected using simple random and purposive sampling techniques. The study data were anlysed using Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient and regression analysis, whereas qualitative data were thematically analyzed. Further analysis was done using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The Human Capital theory and the Equity theory guided the study. SEM showed that horizontal promotion as an avenue of staff promotions had an insignificant positive direct influence on organizational commitment (β = 0.002, p = 0.972 > 0.05). While informal learning as a professional development practice had an insignificant direct effect on organizational commitment (β = 0.033, p = 0.537 > 0.05). These findings, coupled with the limitations in the Human Capital and Equity theories, led to the Professional Integration Interaction Practices (PIIP) model proposed by the study. The study concluded that, University Councils in conjunction with management in Makerere and Kyambogo Universities, and the Ministry of Education and Sports through National Council of Higher Education, should adopt the PIIP Model with a view to raise professional standards and hence organizational commitment of academic staff.
Behavioral Patterns in Breaking Bad News Communication: An Ethnographic Study with Hematologists

Hematologists adequately disclosing bad news is a critical point precluding patient-centered communication. Specific courses on communication for hematologists seem to be rare, as well as research exploring their communicative skills and patterns. We aim at describing the hematologists’ behavior during difficult conversations to account for behavioral patterns in communication and provide new insights regarding teaching skills to communicate bad news. We employed a focused visual ethnography to answer the following research: “what are hematologists’ behavioral patterns in communicating bad news to patients and families? ” The collected data included (1) video recordings, (2) observational field notes, (3) interviews with hematologists. The analysis highlighted four patterns: (1) a technical-defensive pattern, (2) an authoritative pattern, (3) a relational-recursive pattern, and (4) a compassionate sharing pattern. Hematologists seem to have difficulty expressing compassionate caring and empathetic comprehension. Communication skills remain a challenge for hematologists. The study of behavioral patterns can lead to increasingly targeted training interventions for this specific learner population.
Brain-Computer Interface Using Brain Power Map and Cognition Detection Network During Flight

This article presents a new aviation brain-computer interface, which includes the construction of a color brain power map and a cognitive detection network. The developed network, Bpmnet, can effectively detect the cognitive state of the brain. To improve the effectiveness of model parameter optimization algorithms, momentum and batch normalization are proposed during Bayesian posterior parameter inference. Bpmnet reduces the risk of model overfitting and increases the uncertainty of outlier prediction. Experimental results demonstrate that our approach significantly outperforms state-of-the-art techniques.
Machine Learning for Shape Memory Graphene Nanoribbons and Applications in Biomedical Engineering

Shape memory materials have been playing an important role in a wide range of bioengineering applications. At the same time, recent developments of graphene-based nanostructures, such as nanoribbons, have demonstrated that, due to the unique properties of graphene, they can manifest superior electronic, thermal, mechanical, and optical characteristics ideally suited for their potential usage for the next generation of diagnostic devices, drug delivery systems, and other biomedical applications. One of the most intriguing parts of these new developments lies in the fact that certain types of such graphene nanoribbons can exhibit shape memory effects. In this paper, we apply machine learning tools to build an interatomic potential from DFT calculations for highly ordered graphene oxide nanoribbons, a material that had demonstrated shape memory effects with a recovery strain up to 14.5% for 2D layers. The graphene oxide layer can shrink to a metastable phase with lower constant lattice through the application of an electric field, and returns to the initial phase through an external mechanical force. The deformation leads to an electronic rearrangement and induces magnetization around the oxygen atoms. DFT calculations show no magnetization for sufficiently narrow nanoribbons, while the machine learning model can predict the suppression of the metastable phase for the same narrower nanoribbons. We can improve the prediction accuracy by analyzing only the evolution of the metastable phase, where no magnetization is found according to DFT calculations. The model developed here allows also us to study the evolution of the phases for wider nanoribbons, that would be computationally inaccessible through a pure DFT approach. Moreover, we extend our analysis to realistic systems that include vacancies and boron or nitrogen impurities at the oxygen atomic positions. Finally, we provide a brief overview of the current and potential applications of the materials exhibiting shape memory effects in bioengineering and biomedical fields, focusing on data-driven approaches with machine learning interatomic potentials.
