WHY DO TALENTS STAY? TIME PERSPECTIVE, FIT, AND ORGANIZATIONAL SUPPORT

A paradox of human capital is that employees with greater capability can contribute to higher job performances, yet such talents are frequently not easy to retain in organizations. It may cost an organization substantially to lose a mediocre workforce, not to mention intelligent employees. This study investigates two three-way interaction effects of P-O fit/POS, future time perspective, and human capital on turnover intention. A sample of 585 engineers and their immediate supervisors is used to examine the hypothesized relationships. Research findings suggest that future time perspective reduces the positive effect of human capital on turnover intention. I also find that there is a three-way interaction between P-O fit, future time perspective, and human capital in such way that human capital predicts higher turnover intention when future time perspective and P-O fir are low. The findings of this study improve our understanding of human capital retention.
Combined culture and metagenomic analyses reveal significant shifts in the composition of the cutaneous microbiome in psoriasis

The treatment of psoriasis has been revolutionized by the development of biologic therapies. However, the pathogenesis of psoriasis, in particular the role of the cutaneous microbiome, remains incompletely understood. Moreover, skin microbiome studies have relied heavily on 16S rRNA sequencing data in the absence of bacterial culture.
Interaction between orexin and N-Methyl-D-Aspartate (NMDA) receptors in hypertensive and normotensive rats: an insight into predictive biomarkers for hypertension

High Blood Pressure also known as hypertension (HTN) is one of the most common lifestyles based chronic diseases. HTN is a high-risk contributing factor towards stroke or any other cerebrovascular disorder (CVD). Many endogenous chemicals are involved in HTN such as orexin (also known as hypocretin), which is a neuropeptide produced by the neurons located mainly in the hypothalamus. Other areas of the brain such as Locus coeruleus (LC) and Rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM) and endogenous chemicals such as neurotransmitters, hormones and enzymes are also directly or indirectly involved in the regulation of HTN. We are essentially focusing on the orexin neurons that are activated by a type of glutamate receptor known as N-MethylD-Aspartate (NMDA). This review will discuss the role of molecules such as m-calpain and Jacob, produced because of the interaction between orexin and NMDA receptors in spontaneous hypertensive rats (SHR) and normotensive Wistar Kyoto (WKY) rats.

Characterising Alternative Fiscal Policy Rules for Sri Lanka

This paper characterises fiscal policy rules for Sri Lanka using alternative policy reaction functions for the sample period 2003:Q1 to 2014:Q2. It estimates fiscal policy rules widely used in literature including simple tax difference rules, primary balance rules and Taylor-type fiscal rules. The findings suggest that, first, the fiscal authority responds to changes in output gap and government expenditure moderately. Second, tax smoothing is moderately high and statistically significant. Third, contemporaneous fiscal rules are better than backward-looking rules in characterising the fiscal reaction behaviour in Sri Lanka. Fourth, deficit rules are marginally better than debt rules in matching with Sri Lankan data. Fifth, the fiscal policy in the country is procyclical rather than countercyclical, similar to many other countries. Finally, the contemporaneous Taylor-type fiscal rule that responds to output, government expenditure and deficit while smoothing out tax rate describes the fiscal policy behaviour of Sri Lanka more appropriately than other alternative fiscal rules estimated. and Wyplosz (2012) discuss backward-looking and contemporaneous fiscal policy rules, avoiding forward-looking specifications. Country studies for instance Kopits (2001), De Mello (2008) and Burger et al. (2011) also use backward-looking and contemporaneous rules. Following these, I estimate backward-looking and contemporaneous fiscal policy rules only.
Insights into the root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne spp.) microbiome using comparative 16S rDNA metagenomics

approved:___________________________________________________________ Inga Zasada Root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) are one of the most important global plant pathogens. Recent innovations in molecular techniques have allowed increased study of this important pest, including the ability to investigate associated microbiomes. This study used 16S rDNA metagenomic sequencing to characterize the microbiome of Meloidogyne hapla, the northern root-knot nematode, in field and greenhouse isolates. To characterize the microbiome of M. hapla, different life stages, egg masses, second-stage juveniles (J2), and bleached eggs, were collected form a field population and analyzed. To characterize the microbiome of different life stages of M. hapla, populations originating from different locations but maintained in the greenhouse were collected and bleached eggs, J2, bleach-sterilized J2, and J2 hatched in sterile conditions were analyzed. 16S rDNA was sequenced on an Illumina MiSeq in 300 bp paired-end segments. The microbiome of M. hapla changed during its life cycle (p < 0.05), was dependent on where the population originated, even if it is subsequently cultured on greenhouse plants (p < 0.05), and bleach-sterilizing J2 changed microbial community compared to non-sterilized J2 (p < 0.01). Additionally, microbes from M. hapla collected from the field were are not present at similar abundance levels as to those from M. hapla maintained in the greenhouse. Combined, these findings provide a greater understanding of common bacteria-nematode relationships, opening the possibility for the identification of microbes that may be used for nematode management. This research also demonstrates that sterilization and collection techniques can affect nematode-associated bacterial communities, informing how future studies may be improved.
Mode Choice Modelling with Machine Learning: 1 A Sequential Tour-based Approach for Addressing Imbalanced Datasets

1 The continuous progress of machine learning has introduced numerous powerful classifiers that are 2 examined as prominent alternatives to predict travellers' mode choices. However, most classifiers fail to 3 capture the lower market share that characterizes the minority modes of transport. Although imbalanced 4 choice datasets are common, this has been more apparent with the emergence of new modes and mobility 5 services, which further fragment the mode choice composition. The problem is often magnified by biased 6 sampling and measurement errors during the data collection process. The challenge of imbalanced
4.0. Anxiolytic and antipyretic effects of the aqueous extract of the leaves of Solanum aethiopicum (Solanaceae) in the white mouse Mus musculus Swiss

https://doi.org/10.30574/gscbps.2022. 19.2. 0187 Abstract The anxiolytic and antipyretic effects of the aqueous extract of the leaves of Solanum aethiopicum (plant used in traditional medicine in Africa) were evaluated by oral administration of doses 17.5; 43.75; 87.5 and 175 mg/kg to mice of the Mus musculus Swiss strain. Four psychopharmacological tests were performed: the stress-induced hyperthermia test; the elevated plus maze test; the open arena test and the hole board test. A significant decrease in stress-induced hyperthermia was observed in mice receiving the 175 mg/kg dose (1°C) unlike those treated with distilled water (3°C). The 175 mg/kg dose of S. aethiopicum extract and diazepam significantly increase the number of entries and the percentage of time spent in the open arms of the maze. Diazepam and doses of S. aethiopicum significantly decrease the number of uprights and the number of head tilts. Solanum aethiopicum significantly increases the number of lines crossed and the time spent in the center of the open arena. On the hole board, there was a significant increase in the number of head tilts (11.2±1,64) in the mice that received the 175 mg/kg dose of S. aethiopicum and in the number of lines crossed in the mice treated with all doses of the extract. This shows that the extract of S. aethiopicum would contain compounds with antipyretic and anxiolytic
k-means initialisation algorithms : an extensive comparative study

The k -means data clustering algorithm, whilst widely popular, is not without its drawbacks. In this work, we are particularly interested in the sensitivity of k -means to its initialisation, in the form of a set of initial centroids. Since the cluster recovery performance of k -means can potentially be improved by better initialisation, numerous algorithms have been proposed with the intention of producing better initial centroids. However, despite several decades since k -means was first formalised, it is still unclear which initialisation algorithm should be used in any particular clustering scenario. With this in mind, we empirically compare 17 published k -means initialisation algorithms by running them against 6,000 synthetic and 28 real-world data sets. The synthetic data sets were produced under many different configurations, allowing us to explore how each algorithm performs in each scenario. Hence, the results of our experiments may be particularly useful for those considering k -means for a non-trivial clustering scenario. This work also introduces a new set of software libraries originally developed for use as part of our experiments, including implementations of the k -means initialisation algorithms covered in this work, along with data cleaning and data generation tools. These tools are made freely available to the wider community under a permissive open source licence. This is done in part to make sure that the research presented is replicable, but also in the hope that the research and results shared here may be of value to future researchers and developers in the field. As with all open source projects, contributions from the wider community are invited. It is intended that the research should be placed in its historical context, and so we conduct an extensive literature review, including an overview of previous comparable surveys, followed by more detailed coverage of the specific algorithms included in our survey as described in the respective original literature.
Does Help Seeking Behavior Change Over Time Following a Workplace Mental Health Intervention in the Coal Mining Industry?

OBJECTIVES To investigate help seeking behavior and attitudes to mental health in mining employees. METHODS A pre-post survey study of employees from two Australian coal mines. Data were collected prior to, at baseline, at 6 and 18 months following delivery of the MATES in mining (MIM) peer support mental health intervention. RESULTS Help seeking behaviors increased, with participants' sex, age, relationship status, shift type, and psychological distress significantly associated with likelihood of seeking help (P <0.05). In relation to stigma, significantly more participants' disagreed that they would be treated differently by friends or colleagues following disclosure of mental illness (P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Results provide an understanding of help seeking behaviors of mining employees; support the MATES in Mining peer support program in the men dominated industry and provide information to guide mental health workplace program development more broadly.
On the Geometry of Red Blood Cell

The differential geometry of a normal red blood cell is treated using the Cassinian oval for modelling its profile. In this connection an explicit parametrization via Jacobian elliptic functions of the usual polar coordinates is found. The first and the second fundamental forms, and correspondingly, the Gaussian, mean, and principal curvatures, are derived. The integrals determining the volume, area, cross-section area, and circumference of a red blood cell are evaluated analytically and expressed in a form relevant to the sphere geometry via some correction factors. The free elastic energy U , associated with the outer bilayer membrane of the cell is integrated and its scale dependence is established. A relation between U and the surface area correction factor is determined. Approximate formulae, using elementary functions, that should be directly applicable to experimental data are developed. Plots of these dimensionless parts of volume, area, cross-section area, and circumference are obtained. The sphericity index, homogeneity index, and volume/area ratio associated with the red cell geometry are derived in approximate forms as well.
An extension of the Liouville-Arnold theorem for the non-compact case

Action-angle coordinates are shown to exist around an instantly compact invariant submanifold of a time-dependent completely integrable Hamiltonian system; this is done by generalizing the classical Liouville-Arnold theorem. As in the classical theorem. in this chart the Hamiltonian function and the first integrals depend only on actions coordinates. In particular, a subgroup of canonical transformation characterized by unimodular matrices in analogy with the compact case is introduced and the problem of independence of frequencies is considered.
The Relationship Between Mitral Annular Calcification and Controlling Nutritional Status Score

Introduction The relationship between mitral annular calcification (MAC) and the controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score has not been previously studied. In this study, we investigated the relationship between MAC and CONUT score to evaluate the nutritional status of patients with MAC. Methods A total of 275 patients, including 150 patients with MAC and 125 patients without MAC, who presented to a cardiology outpatient clinic were enrolled in the study. Results There was no difference in the CONUT score between the two groups. Correlation analysis indicated that CONUT score was positively correlated with left atrial (LA) diameter (r=0.190, P=0.020) and interventricular septum thickness (r=0.179, P=0.028) in the MAC+ group. In multivariate regression analysis, only LA diameter (odds ratio 95% confidence interval = 1,054-1,189, P=0.0001) was independently associated with MAC. Conclusion The present study investigated the relationship between CONUT score and MAC for the first time in the literature. We demonstrated that CONUT score was not significantly higher in patients with MAC without chronic diseases. However, CONUT score was correlated with LA diameter in patients with MAC. We therefore conclude that, for patients admitted with MAC and high LA diameter, CONUT is a valuable nutritional and inflammatory status index.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE, COST OF CAPITAL AND TOBIN Q: EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE FROM TURKEY LISTED COMPANIES

Corporate governance has become an important issue with the shaking of trust in companies, as a result of international financial crises, corruption and corporate scandals since the 1980s. Corporate governance is a broad concept and defines the methods, structure and processes of a firm. In this context, the concept of corporate governance plays an important role in ensuring the firm’s progress in the right direction and in an optimal way. In this study, the effect of corporate governance practices on firm performance and capital cost is investigated empirically in 46 manufacturing companies listed on Borsa Istanbul between 2010-2019. In this context, the difference GMM proposed by Arellano-Bond (1991) and the dynamic GMM estimator developed by Arellano-Bover (1995) were used. As a result of the study, it has been determined that corporate governance mechanisms have an impact on the performance and capital cost indicators of firms resulting in a positive effect.

An Autosomal Translocation 73,XY,t(12;20)(q11;q11) in an Infertile Male Llama (Lama glama) With Teratozoospermia

Structural chromosome abnormalities, such as translocations and inversions occasionally occur in all livestock species and are typically associated with reproductive and developmental disorders. Curiously, only a few structural chromosome aberrations have been reported in camelids, and most involved sex chromosomes. This can be attributed to a high diploid number (2n = 74) and complex chromosome morphology, which makes unambiguous identification of camelid chromosomes difficult. Additionally, molecular tools for camelid cytogenetics are sparse and have become available only recently. Here we present a case report about an infertile male llama with teratozoospermia and abnormal chromosome number 2n = 73,XY. This llama carries an autosomal translocation of chromosomes 12 and 20, which is the likely cause of defective spermatogenesis and infertility in this individual. Our analysis underlines the power of molecular cytogenetics methods over conventional banding-based chromosome analysis for explicit identification of normal and aberrant chromosomes in camelid karyotypes. This is the first case of a translocation and the first autosomal aberration reported in any camelid species. It is proof of principle that, like in other mammalian species, structural chromosome abnormalities contribute to reproductive disorders in camelids.
The spatial variation of productivity across farm fields can be classified by the delineation of site-specific management zone

The spatial variation of productivity across farm fields can be classified by delineating site-specific management zones. Since productivity is influenced by soil characteristics, the spatial pattern of productivity could be caused by a corresponding variation in certain soil properties. Determining the source of variation in productivity can help achieve more effective site-specific management. The objectives of this study were (i) to characterize the spatial variability of soil physical properties across irrigated corn (Zea Mays L.) production fields and (ii) to determine if soil physical properties could explain the variability in productivity between site-specific management zones. The study was conducted over three study sites in northeastern Colorado. The soil properties measured were bulk density, cone index, organic carbon, texture, sorptivity, and surface water content. A multi-response permutation procedure was used to test for significant differences among soil properties between management zones. Overall, this study showed that soil physical properties exhibited significant spatial variability across production fields. The trends observed for the measured soil physical properties corresponded to the productivity potential of the management zones. Utilizing site specific management zones could help manage the in-field variability of yield-limiting soil physical properties.
Implanted Radio Telemetry in Orangutan Reintroduction and Post-release Monitoring and its Application in Other Ape Species

Designed as a new method to facilitate the reintroduction and post-release monitoring of orangutans and other apes, implanted radio-telemetry (IRT) was developed and first deployed in 2009. Since that time, it has been necessary to collate and review information on its uptake and general efficacy to inform its ongoing development and that of other emerging tracking technologies. We present here technical specifications and the surgical procedure used to implant miniaturized radio transmitters, as well as a formal testing procedure for measuring detectable transmission distances of implanted devices. Feedback from IRT practitioners (veterinarians and field managers) was gathered through questionnaires and is also presented. To date, IRT has been used in at least 250 individual animals (mainly orangutans) from four species of ape in both Asia and Africa. Median surgical and wound healing times were 30 min and 15 days, respectively, with implants needing to be removed on at least 36 separate occasions. Confirmed failures within the first year of operation were 18.1%, while longer distances were reported from positions of higher elevation relative to the focal animal. IRT has been a transformational technology in facilitating the relocation of apes after their release, resulting in much larger amounts of post-release data collection than ever before. It is crucial however, that implant casings are strengthened to prevent the requirement for recapture and removal surgeries, especially for gradually adapting apes. As with all emerging technological solutions, IRT carries with it inherent risk, especially so due to the requirement for subcutaneous implantation. These risks must, however, be balanced with the realities of releasing an animal with no means of relocation, as has historically been, and is still, the case with orangutans and gorillas.
