The Relationship between Perceived Overqualification and Counterproductive Work Behaviors: Moderating Role of Perceived Distributive Justice

Employee behaviors can be classified into two basic groups as positive and negative organizational behaviors. One of the negative organizational behaviors is counterproductive work behaviours. It is aimed to reveal the effects of perceived overqualification on counterproductive work behaviours and moderating role of distributive justice through an empirical study. In this respect, the data obtained from 398 employees in hospitality enterprises was analyzed by means of structural equation modelling (SEM). It is found that there is a positive relationship between perceived overqualification and counterproductive work behaviours, and perceived distributive justice moderates the relationship between perceived overqualification and counterproductive work behaviours towards colleagues. Some theoretical and managerial implications are offered about the variables. Distributive justice is effective in reducing counterproductive work behaviours which emerged from perceived overqualification. Managers need to control the factors that lead to perceived overqualification and implement strategies that can activate catalyst variables, lessening or eliminating its negative consequences. In addition, limitations of the study and suggestions for future studies are provided.
Values in Mathematics Education: Its Conative Nature, and How It Can Be Developed

This article looks back and also looks forward at the values aspect of school mathematics teaching and learning. Looking back, it draws on existing academic knowledge to explain why the values construct has been regarded in recent writings as a conative variable, that is, associated with willingness and motivation. The discussion highlights the tripartite model of the human mind which was first conceptualised in the eighteenth century, emphasising the intertwined and mutually enabling processes of cognition, affect, and conation. The article also discusses what we already know about the nature of values, which suggests that values are both consistent and malleable. The trend in mathematics educational research into values over the last three decades or so is outlined. These allow for an updated definition of values in mathematics education to be offered in this article. Considering the categories of values that might be found in mathematics classrooms, an argument is also made for more attention to be paid to general educational values. After all, the potential of the values construct in mathematics education research extends beyond student understanding of and performance in mathematics, to realising an ethical mathematics education which is important for thriveability in the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Looking ahead, then, this article outlines a 4-step values development approach for implementation in the classroom, involving Justifying, Essaying, Declaring, and Identifying. With an acronym of JEDI, this novel approach has been informed by the theories of ‘saying is believing’, self-persuasion, insufficient justification, and abstract construals.
Green building education in the green museum: design strategies in eight case study museums

ABSTRACT The choice to create or renovate museum buildings to green building standards is a growing trend for science museums. With access to green facilities comes the potential to extend informal science learning into the three-dimensional architectural environment. To examine how and if museums with green buildings interpret their buildings for the public, this study used photographs systematically taken by researchers in eight science museums across the United States. Results show that recycling, water, energy, green materials, and eco-landscaping were the top five green building themes interpreted by museums. Moreover, all museums use the passive strategy of educational signage to communicate green building themes, though several museums attempted to provide more active, hands-on learning opportunities. The analysis additionally uncovered a series of distinct strategic choices museums made concerning centralized versus decentralized displays, media types, passive versus active engagement, and targeting a range of visitor outcomes from green knowledge to behaviors. The potential for enhancing green building education in museums with certified green buildings is discussed.
Utilization of Participation Process to Prevent Health Impact from Pesticide Use in Shallot Farming, Chaijumphon Sub-district, Laplae District, Uttaradit Province - การใช้กระบวนการมีส่วนร่วมในการป้องกันผลกระทบ ทางสุขภาพจากสารเคมีกำจัดศัตรูพืช ของเกษตรกรผ้ปู ลูกหอมแดงในตำบลชัยจุมพล อำเภอลับแล จังหวัด

This action research aimed to study the effectiveness of participation process to prevent health impact prevention from pesticide use in shallot farming in Chaijumphon Sub-district, Laplae District, Uttaradit Province. The AIC (appreciation-influence-control) technique was utilized to identify problems and develop solution guidelines. The study samples were 30 shallot farmer volunteers and 29 representatives of community leaders and government sector. Data were collected through structured interviews during June – October 2015; and were analyzed by descriptive statistics, percentage, mean, standard deviation and inferential statistics (paired t-test). It was found that the majority of farmers had physical symptoms resulting from pesticide use, which included eye-irritation, itching, headache, dizziness, and fatigue. At the end of the participation process, the shallot farmers had significantly increased their knowledge, attitude and protective behaviors. Through the AIC process, appropriate prevention measures were identified which were well adapted to the community context and lifestyle. Such measures included establishing self-help group to raise awareness on the undesirable effects of pesticides, educating on pesticides through village broadcasting network, promoting the use of protective equipment, screening of cholinesterase enzyme in blood, and promoting bio-fertilizer in the community. It was recommended that the process should be widely applied in other communities with similar circumstances. Key words: participation, pesticide
In Silico Blood Glucose Control for Type 1 Diabetes with Meal Announcement Using Carbohydrate Intake and Glycemic Index

An increasing number of closed-loop blood glucose (BG) control algorithms have been developed in recent years with the ‘arti cial pancreas’ as the ultimate goal, although tight postprandial BG control remains an elusive goal. In this report, the authors propose a novel semi closed-loop BG control algorithm with meal announcement, which involves computation of the optimal continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion for a speci c meal 60 min prior to mealtime. It utilizes a mathematical model of glucose-insulin metabolism to predict the impact of carbohydrates on postprandial BG levels based on carbohydrate intake and glycemic index (GI) value. The optimal pre-meal insulin is infused until mealtime, after which the control algorithm switches to model predictive control (MPC) to stabilize postprandial glycemia at the target value of 100 mg/dL (5.55 mmol/L). In silico results for four representative foods with GI values spanning a wide range show that in the case of exact patient-model match with precise information of carbohydrate composition and mealtime, postprandial BG levels can be maintained between 86– 134 mg/dL (4.78–7.44 mmol/L) and 86–152 mg/dL (4.78–8.44 mmol/L) for 50 g and 100 g of carbohydrates, respectively. With consideration of intra-patient variability and meal-related uncertainties regarding the estimated carbohydrate amount and start of meal consumption, the BG control range is 75–159 mg/dL (4.17–8.83 mmol/L) with no critical hypoglycemic episodes.
Characterisation and Antifungal susceptibility pattern of Candida species isolated from various clinical samples at a tertiary care centre in South India

Background: Over the last 20 years, the rates of fungal infection have increased and Candida has emerged as a major cause of human disease. Furthermore there is an increase in nonalbicans candida species in many countries. The emerging pathogens are resistant to conventional antifungal therapy. Objective: To find out which species of Candida is predominant in clinical infection and determinate their antifungal susceptibility patter. Materials and method: All Candida isolates recovered from various clinical samples during the period from February 2011 to August 2012 were studied. The isolates were speciated using, both conventional and automated techniques. Antifungal susceptibility testing was done by disk diffusion methods according to Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute guidelines. Various risk factors associated with the candida infection were also looked into. Results: A total of 269 Candida isolates were isolated. (Prevalence of 5.3%). 42% of isolates were from patients above 60 years of age Candida tropicalis (46%) was the most common isolate. All the 269 Candida isolates (100%) were sensitive to amphotericin B. Resistance of more than 70% to the three azoles tested was noted amongst the C albicans and the C parapsilosis spp. The risk factors commonly associated with candida infection were Catheterization (87.5%), ventilator assistance (75%) and Diabetes mellitus (31%). Conclusion: In our study Candida tropicalis was the predominant isolate. All candidal isolates were sensitive to Amphotericin B however marked resistance to azole derivative was found with Candida albicans than C.tropicalis. CHROMagar candida medium and tetrazolium reduction medium are found to be useful in identification of Candida species. All candidal isolates were sensitive to Amphotericin B.
Returns to bachelor’s and master’s degree in tertiary education: the case of the Czech Republic after the Bologna Process

The primary objective of this study was to analyse the development of the effect of the bachelor’s and master’s tertiary degree on both respondents’ wage and socioeconomic status in the Czech labour market ten years after the Bologna Process. For the purposes of the study, structural modelling was applied using the European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC, 2010–2017) and Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC, 2011/12) data. The results revealed that despite a slightly decreasing direct effect of the master’s degree on wages, the association between the master’s degree and socioeconomic status intensified. Compared to that, the bachelor’s degree exhibited a stable direct effect on wages but a decreasing effect on socioeconomic status. While relatively stable overall returns to tertiary education can be supposed based on total effects, the channels through which the stability is reached may differ for the bachelor’s and master’s degrees.

A multi-phase flux balance model reveals flexibility of guard cell central carbon metabolism

Experimental research in guard cell metabolism has revealed the roles of the accumulation of various metabolites in guard cell function, but a comprehensive understanding of their metabolism over the diel cycle is still incomplete, given the limitations of current experimental methods. In this study, we constructed a four-phase flux balance model of guard cell metabolism to investigate the changes in guard cell metabolism over the diel cycle, including the day and night and stomata opening and closing. Our model demonstrated the metabolic flexibility in guard cells, showing that multiple metabolic processes can contribute to the synthesis and metabolism of malate and sucrose as osmolytes during stomatal opening and closing. We showed that guard cells can adapt to varying light availability and sucrose uptake from the apoplast during the day by operating in a mixotrophic mode with a switch between sucrose synthesis via the Calvin-Benson cycle and sucrose degradation via the oxidative pentose phosphate pathway. During stomatal opening, our model predicted an alternative flux mode of the Calvin-Benson cycle with all dephosphorylating steps diverted to diphosphate—fructose-6-phosphate 1-phosphotransferase to produce PPi, which is used to pump protons across the tonoplast for the accumulation of osmolytes. An analysis of the energetics of the use of different osmolytes in guard cells showed that malate and Cl- are similarly efficient as the counterion of K+ during stomatal opening. Significance statement This work presents the first four-phase metabolic model for predicting guard cell metabolism over the diel cycle, which predicted an alternative flux model of the Calvin-Benson cycle that maximises the production of PPi during stomatal opening. While multiple metabolic processes were shown be important in synthesising and metabolising osmolytes in guard cells of different experimental systems, our model demonstrated that these processes can operate simultaneously and at different rates depending on conditions.

Objective: To compare the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the one-step nucleic acid amplification (OSNA) assay and frozen sections. Material and Method: One hundred and twenty patients with early breast cancer and no clinical nodal involvement underwent intraoperative sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) evaluation and undertaken axillary lymph nodes dissection (ALND) at the Department of Surgery, Songklanagarind Hospital from March 1st, 2011-November 30th, 2014. Results: A total of 213 SLNs were evaluated (mean 1.84 nodes). The accuracy of the OSNA assay compared to histological evaluation was 95.7%. The OSNA assay performance was: sensitivity 100% (25/25); specificity 95.2% (179/188); positive predictive value (PPV) 73.5% (25/34) and negative predictive value (NPV) 100% (179/179). Turnaround time was an average 39.6 minutes. The accuracy of frozen sections compared to histological evaluation was 99.1%. The frozen sections performance was: sensitivity 92% (23/25); specificity 100% (188/188); PPV 100% (23/23) and NPV 98.9% (188/190). After discordant analysis, the PPV of the OSNA assay on nodes with macrometastases (++) was 100% (25/25), and the result on nodes with micrometastases (+) was 75% (3/4). The accuracy of OSNA after review was thus 99.5%. Conclusion: The OSNA assay is accurate and rapid for SLN evaluation and it can replace the frozen section in general practice.
ANALYSIS OF SCAMPER CREATIVITY TECHNIQUE AND WORKPLACE HAPPINESS ON INNOVATIVE BEHAVIOUR OF SECONDARY SCHOOL TEACHERS IN OYO STATE, NIGERIA

The study examined the effect of scamper creativity technique and workplace happiness on innovative behaviour of secondary school teachers in Oyo State, Nigeria. Pretest-posttest, control group quasi-experimental design with a 2x2 factorial matrix was used in the study. Multi-stage random sampling technique was used in sampling 100 participants from the State. The respondents were measured with validated instrument of . 88 reliability value and the data obtained was analyzed using t-test statistical analysis. Two (2) research hypotheses were formulated and tested at 0.05 level of significance. The result showed that there was significant difference in the innovative behaviour of secondary school teachers exposed to scamper creativity technique and those in the control group and there was significant difference in the innovative behaviour of secondary school teachers with high workplace happiness and those with low workplace happiness. In view of these findings, the study recommended that educational stakeholders should intensify their effort to organize conferences on the implications of scamper creativity technique as effective interventions towards enhancing innovative behaviour of teachers and that educational stakeholders should not only focus on the teachers’ teaching methods alone but also their innovative behaviour of teachers.
Analysis of two-level representation about the heat convection between teachers and pre-service teachers

The aims of this study are to analyse and compare the two-level representation (macroscopic and microscopic) about the heat convection concepts. This research involves 15 teachers and 33 pre-service teachers. Data gathered using the diagnostic test to explore the two-level representation through verbal and drawing tests. The result shows that at the macroscopic level many respondents have a correct answer but decreased in microscopic level even more at the visualization test, just a few respondents can give a correct visualization according to scientific conception. This research found that all participant is well known about the macroscopic level but they have a lack of knowledge about the microscopic level. This research suggests that to make students more understand about science the learning must give multiple representations to make they understand about scientific phenomena.
Aeroelastic Characterization of Real and Artificial Monarch Butterfly Wings

The annual migration of monarch butterflies, Danaus plexippus, from their summer breeding grounds in North America to their overwintering sites in Mexico can span over 4000 kilometers. Little is known about the aerodynamic mechanism behind this extended flight. This study is motivated by the hypothesis that their flapping wing flight is enhanced by fluid-structure interactions. The objective of this study to quantify the aeroelastic performance of monarch butterfly wings and apply those values in the creation of an artificial wing with an end goal of creating a biomimetic micro-air vehicle. A micro-CT scan, force-deflection measurements, and a finite element solver on real monarch butterfly wings were used to determine the density and elastic modulus. These structural parameters were then used to create a monarch butterfly inspired artificial wing. A solidification process was used to adhere 3D printed vein structures to a membrane. The performance of the artificial butterfly wing was tested by measuring the lift at flapping frequencies between 6.3 and 14 Hz. Our results show that the elastic modulus of a real wing is 1.8 GPa along the span and 0.20 GPa along the chord, suggesting that the butterfly wing material is highly anisotropic. Real right forewings performed optimally at approximately 10 Hz, the flapping frequency of a live monarch butterfly, with a peak force of 4 mN. The artificial wing performed optimally at approximately 8 Hz with a peak force of 5 mN.
Early changes in angiogenesis and hypoxia following bevacizumab therapy in primary breast cancer

1066 Background: Bevacizumab (BV), a monoclonal antibody directed against vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), is an approved anti-angiogenic agent, but despite its widespread use, little is known about how tumours develop resistance to BV. We have conducted a window-of-opportunity study in which BV is administered as a short-term first-line treatment for primary breast cancer (PBC) patients, and assessed histological markers of tumour angiogenesis and hypoxia before and after therapy. Methods: 47 patients with locally advanced breast cancer were prospectively enrolled. Informed consent was obtained from all patients. A single infusion of BV (15 mg/kg) was given 2 weeks before starting neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) and core biopsies for immunohistochemistry (IHC) analysis were performed immediately prior to and 2 weeks after BV. 36 patients with invasive ductal carcinoma and good quality MRI scans and core biopsies were included in this anal.
