How socially responsible human resource management fosters work engagement: the role of perceived organizational support and affective organizational commitment

Purpose In recent years, efforts to reinforce the links between corporate social responsibility and human resource management have highlighted employees’ role as crucial organizational stakeholders. This study aims to investigate whether workers’ perception of socially responsible human resource management (SR-HRM) based on employee-focused practices is related to work engagement (WE). This research also explored whether perceived organizational support (POS) and affective commitment (AC) can contribute to explaining this relationship. Social exchange theory and job demands-resources model were used to theoretically frame the research. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected from a sample of 222 employees working in diverse organizations, using individual online surveys. Several analyses were conducted to assure data robustness to common method bias. Findings The results confirm that SR-HRM fosters WE and that this effect is subject to sequential mediation by POS and AC. Accordingly, SR-HRM practices contribute to higher level of POS, which then foster stronger affective bonds with employers and, in turn, higher levels of vigor, absorption and dedication among workers. Originality/value The findings contribute to the expansion of the SR-HRM literature by providing a deeper understanding of how this management strategy affects employees’ job-related attitudes, particularly WE a much-overlooked variable in this realm.
Flexible co-construction of meaning: facilitating emergent bi/multilingual children’s emergent exploratory talk in Spanish literature discussions

ABSTRACT Emergent bi/multilingual children have historically been afforded few opportunities to engage dialogically with peers and teachers in posing authentic questions and co- constructing interpretations of texts as their reading instruction has traditionally been skills driven. Additionally, more recent scholarship has identified increased opportunities for participation and meaning-making when bi/multilingual children discuss literature within linguistically flexible discussion spaces. This case study examines teacher discourse and discussion facilitation that foreground children’s emerging exploratory talk and validate their bi/multilingual practices during literature discussions conducted in Spanish in a second-grade maintenance dual language bilingual education classroom within a public school in the Midwest United States. Analysis focuses on teacher and child interactions, including the teacher’s uptake of children’s ideas and authentic questions, shared authority among teacher and children, and the teacher’s use and modeling of bilingual practices, such as external code-switching when recounting brief stories, within the discussion space. Findings demonstrate how teacher facilitation and discourse patterns interact in ways that promote children’s emerging exploratory talk within a dialogically organized linguistically flexible discussion space.
EFFECT OF NITROGEN AND PHOSPHORUS ON GROWTH AND YIELD OF SOME VARIETIES OF PEA

The varieties tested were significantly different among themselves for all growth and yield characters. Nitrogen levels influenced the time for first flowering, the time marketable maturity, pod lengths, pod yield per plot, 100- seed weight and shelling percentage significantly but phosphorus levels had significant influence on pod yield per plot only. The interactions (V x Nx P) were found to be significant for most of characters.

Diet in pregnant women in preventing stunting: a scoping review

Stunting is a chronic nutritional health problem in toddlers. However, stunting can be prevented, one of which is by maintaining maternal health during pregnancy, namely diet and nutritional intake. Therefore, pregnant women are expected to be able to control their diet. This study aims to provide an overview of diet in pregnant women as a prevention of stunting events. This study used the scoping review method. The databases used are EBSCOhost and PubMed with a search for relevant studies published from 2017-2022. The inclusion criteria for selected articles are English-language articles, fulltext articles. Excluded articles are articles that use meta-analysis and systematic review methods. The results obtained were 8 articles, of which seven articles showed the type and healthy diet of the significance of increasing birth weight which is an indicator of growth and incidence of stunting. In detail, the type and healthy diet in pregnant women is to increase food intake by 15% than usual with the consumption of the main food 3x a day plus 2x interludes / snacks consisting of ≥ 5 types of food (MDD-W) with ≥ 4 servings / week in each type, so that the nutrition of pregnant women remains fulfilled, accompanied by multivitamin supplementation (vitamin B-1 (thiamin), B-2 (riboflavin), B-6, niacin, B-12, C, and E), calcium, folic acid and IFA tablets. The conclusion obtained is that the type and healthy diet in pregnant women produces a significant good effect on birth weight in preventing stunting. As well as demographic factors affecting the diet in pregnant women.
Sensitivity analysis of risk assessment for continuous Markov process Monte Carlo method using correlated sampling method

ABSTRACT The correlated sampling method is applied to the continuous Markov-chain Monte-Carlo (CMMC) method to efficiently perform sensitivity analysis of input parameters such as the failure rate of safety components. In the correlated sampling method, the original and the perturbed samples are assumed to trace an identical accident sequence, but the weight of the perturbed sample is adjusted to incorporate the variation of input data. The present method is applied to the sensitivity analysis of the safety evaluation of spent fuel pools. The result indicates that the sensitivity analysis for the CMMC coupling method can be efficiently carried out using the correlated sampling method.
On Numerical Methods for Spread Options

Spread options are multi-asset options whose payoffs depend on the difference of two underlying financial variables. In most cases, analytically closed form solutions for pricing such payoffs are not available, and the application of numerical pricing methods turns out to be non-trivial. We consider several such non-trivial cases and explore the performance of the highly efficient numerical technique of Hurd and Zhou (2010), comparing this with Monte Carlo simulation and the lower bound approximation formula of Caldana and Fusai (2013). We show that the former is in essence an application of the two–dimensional Parseval Identity. As application examples, we price spread options in a model where asset prices are driven by a multivariate normal inverse Gaussian (NIG) process, in a threefactor stochastic volatility model, as well as in examples of models driven by other popular multivariate Levy processes such as the variance Gamma process, and discuss the price sensitivity with respect to volatility. We also consider examples in the fixed–income market, specifically, on cross–currency interest rate spreads and on LIBOR/OIS spreads. In terms of FFT computation, we have used the FFTW library (see Frigo and Johnson (2010)) and we document appropriate usage of this library to reconcile it with the MATLAB ifft2 counterpart.
Anisotropic Propagation of Electromagnetic Waves

This chapter will analyze the properties of electromagnetic wave propagation in anisotropic media. Of particular interest are positive index, anisotropic, and magneto-dielectric media. Engineered anisotropic media provide unique electromagnetic properties including a higher effective refractive index, high permeability with relatively low magnetic loss tangent at microwave frequencies, and lower density and weight than traditional media. This chapter presents research including plane wave solutions to propagation in anisotropic media, a mathematical derivation of birefringence in anisotropic media, modal decomposition of rectangular waveguides filled with anisotropic media, and the full derivation of anisotropic transverse resonance in a partially loaded waveguide. These are fundamental theories in the area of electromagnetic wave propagation that have been reformulated for fully anisotropic magneto-dielectric media. The ensuing results will aide interested parties in understanding wave behavior for anisotropic media to enhance designs for radio frequency devices based on anisotropic and magnetic media.
Image Processing Approach to Investigate the Correlation between Machining Parameters and Burr Formation in Micro-Milling Processes of Selective-Laser-Melted AISI 316L

In industrial manufacturing and research laboratories, precise machining of work materials is crucial to meet the demand for fast assembly and sustainable high-quality production. Precise machining procedures play a vital role in manufacturing compatible parts that meet the production requirements. This study investigates the impact of different parameters on burr formations and slot dimensions during the micro-milling of AISI 316 material. A careful examination was conducted using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images under varying conditions. The variables considered include cutting speed, feed rate, and depth of cut. The main finding revealed that the feed rate and depth of cut significantly influence burr formation, with lower rates and depths resulting in noticeable reductions. A higher feed rate was associated with more pronounced burr formation. Moreover, burr widths on the down-milling sides were typically wider than those on the up-milling sides due to continuous chip formation and compressive forces during down-milling. Utilizing image processing, the study further quantified burr and slot widths with high accuracy, offering a reliable method to characterize burr formation. This research presents potential ways to minimize burr formation during micro-milling processes by effectively managing machining parameters.
Effect of Mind-Body Therapy on Intraocular Pressure in Open-Angel Glaucoma Patients: A Systematic Review

Open-angle glaucoma is one type of glaucoma that can damage the eye's optic nerve, causing blindness. Intraocular pressure (IOP) is the leading risk factor for open-angle glaucoma. So, controlling IOP is the goal of glaucoma management. One of the complementary therapies that glaucoma patients can choose is a mind-body therapy. The study aims to determine the effectiveness of mind-body therapy on IOP in glaucoma patients. A systematic literature review followed the PRISMA Flowchart guidelines in five databases (PubMed, ProQuest, ScienceDirect, Scopus, and Google Scholar). Inclusion criteria were articles published in the last ten years, English, and experimental studies about mind-body therapy's effect on glaucoma patients' intraocular pressure. The quality of articles was assessed using the JBI appraisal tools and analyzed using Meta-synthesis. We found two types of mind-body interventions that affect IOP: mindfulness meditation and yoga. Twelve articles showed that mind-body intervention had decreased IOP by 2 - 6 mmHg (5.7 - 16%). Only one article showed an increase in IOP (6 mmHg), namely yoga with a head down position (the head position lower than the heart position Mind-body therapy, particularly meditation and yoga, can significantly lower IOP. Special attention in yoga therapy is not to do the head down position because it can increase IOP. Mind-body therapy intervention as a complementary therapy can be applied to glaucoma patients to decrease IOP and prevent blindness.
Validation for global solar wind prediction using Ulysses comparison: Multiple coronal and heliospheric models installed at the Community Coordinated Modeling Center

The prediction of the background global solar wind is a necessary part of space weather forecasting. Several coronal and heliospheric models have been installed and/or recently upgraded at the Community Coordinated Modeling Center (CCMC), including the Wang‐Sheely‐Arge (WSA)‐Enlil model, MHD‐Around‐a‐Sphere (MAS)‐Enlil model, Space Weather Modeling Framework (SWMF), and heliospheric tomography using interplanetary scintillation data. Ulysses recorded the last fast latitudinal scan from southern to northern poles in 2007. By comparing the modeling results with Ulysses observations over seven Carrington rotations, we have extended our third‐party validation from the previous near‐Earth solar wind to middle to high latitudes, in the same late declining phase of solar cycle 23. Besides visual comparison, we have quantitatively assessed the models' capabilities in reproducing the time series, statistics, and latitudinal variations of solar wind parameters for a specific range of model parameter settings, inputs, and grid configurations available at CCMC. The WSA‐Enlil model results vary with three different magnetogram inputs. The MAS‐Enlil model captures the solar wind parameters well, despite its underestimation of the speed at middle to high latitudes. The new version of SWMF misses many solar wind variations probably because it uses lower grid resolution than other models. The interplanetary scintillation‐tomography cannot capture the latitudinal variations of solar wind well yet. Because the model performance varies with parameter settings which are optimized for different epochs or flow states, the performance metric study provided here can serve as a template that researchers can use to validate the models for the time periods and conditions of interest to them.
Development of a Four-Wheel Steering Scale Vehicle for Research and Education on Autonomous Vehicle Motion Control

Autonomous vehicle motion control development requires testing and evaluation at all stages of the process. The development phase involving the instrumentation and operation of a full-size vehicle can be especially costly. Scale vehicles have been developed in the literature to serve as a cost-effective transition from testing in a simulation environment to a physical system. However, the existing scale vehicle platforms do not support four-wheel steering and cannot isolate the performance of motion control algorithms from other modules such as perception and path planning. This letter closes this gap by proposing a new scale vehicle platform, called JetRacer-4WS, based on the open-source JetRacer autonomous vehicle with additional modifications to support four-wheel steering, model predictive control-based path following, and high-precision ultrasonic-based real-time positioning. The proposed JetRacer-4WS can be used as a low-cost platform for both research and education on motion control, path following, and vehicle dynamics. We describe the design of JetRacer-4WS, and experimentally demonstrate JetRacer-4WS' ability to perform controller auto-tuning and illustrate the advantage of four-wheel steering. We also show that JetRacer-4WS can be used as a validation platform for testing advanced control algorithms such as event-triggered model predictive control.

Hip arthroplasty in unstable trochanteric fractures in elderly

Unstable osteoporotic intertrochanteric fractures are common in the elderly population. Failure rate of as high as 56% have been noted with internal fixation of unstable fractures mainly due to inadequate purchase in the osteoporotic bone and early full weight bearing. Hemiarthroplasty is a frequently employed alternative as it gives stability and allows immediate full weight bearing. This study evaluates the role of primary cemented hemiarthroplasty in the treatment of unstable trochanteric fractures in elderly and physiologically elderly patients. 30 elderly patients who were above 60 years of age with unstable osteoporotic intertrochanteric fractures, who underwent cemented bipolar hemiarthroplasty were studied prospectively from July 2017-july 2019. Patients who were less than 60 years of age, non ambulatory before injury and patients with stable intertrochanteric fractures, pathological fractures cognitive impairment were excluded from the study. Fractures were classified based on Boyd and Griffin classification. All the patients were treated with cemented bipolar prosthesis through posterior (Moore’s) approach. Mean follow up period was 12 months. Patients were assessed using modified Harris hip score. This study included 12 males and 18 female patients with mean age of 73. There were 24 patients with a byod and griffin type 2 injury and 6 patients sustained a byod and griffin tye 3 injury. The average intra operative blood loss was 357 ml and average operative time was 75 mins. On an average patients were allowed to bear full weight on 7 th post operative day. 2 patients had superficial infection and 1 patient had a shortening more than 2 cms. 9 patients had abductor weakness. There were no cases of prosthetic dislocation, periprosthetic fracture, acetabular erosion and stem loosening. Primary cemented hemiarthroplasty for unstable osteoporotic elderly trochanteric fractures appears to be a good alternative treatment modality. Early full weight bearing and rehabilitation is a definitive advantage of this method.
Intersection graphs associated with semigroup acts

The intersection graph $\mathbb{Int}(A)$ of an $S$-act $A$ over a semigroup $S$ is an undirected simple graph whose vertices are non-trivial subacts of $A$, and two distinct vertices are adjacent if and only if they have a non-empty intersection. In this paper, we study some graph-theoretic properties of $\mathbb{Int}(A)$ in connection to some algebraic properties of $A$. It is proved that the finiteness of each of the clique number, the chromatic number, and the degree of some or all vertices in $\mathbb{Int}(A)$ is equivalent to the finiteness of the number of subacts of $A$. Finally, we determine the clique number of the graphs of certain classes of $S$-acts.
Hybrid genetic algorithm for undirected traveling salesman problems with profits

The orienteering problem (OP) and prize‐collecting traveling salesman problem (PCTSP) are two typical TSPs with profits, in which each vertex has a profit and the goal is to visit several vertices to optimize the collected profit and travel costs. The OP aims to collect the maximum profit without exceeding the given travel cost. The PCTSP seeks to minimize the travel costs while ensuring a minimum profit threshold. This study introduces a hybrid genetic algorithm that addresses both the OP and PCTSP under a unified framework. The algorithm combines an extended edge‐assembly crossover operator to produce promising offspring solutions, and an effective local search to ameliorate each offspring solution. The algorithm is further enforced by diversification‐oriented mutation and population‐diversity management. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the method competes favorably with the best existing methods in terms of both the solution quality and computational efficiency. Additional experiments provide insights into the roles of the key components of the proposed method.
Northern Catandunganon Men and Women Speakers in Focus: Investigating Angry Registers

Angry Registers (ARs) are evident in situations where they are used, such as when someone is angry. This study endeavored to examine the characteristics and functions of angry registers in the discourse of 90 participants (45 men and 45 women) from four municipalities of Northern Catanduanes region in Bicol, Philippines. The data collection was ensured through the use of observation sheets and follow-up interviews. The investigation is grounded on the perspectives of Speech Register Theory, and is quantitative-qualitative in nature. Findings revealed that there are 26 angry registers used; 14 from male and 19 from female speakers. These ARs are classified as nouns, verbs, and adjectives. Noun ARs are related to body parts, person, animals, and inanimate objects. Verb ARs prompt an action or movement or imply a threat. Adjectival ARs are all words that negatively describe a person usually associated to female attributes. Participants also are not merely user of one AR in their utterance as instances of two ARs combined are applied. Further, results specified that the primary functions of speaking ARs across genders are the desire to release the feelings of anger and frustrations, to emphasize emotional reactions to others and to express intense emotion without offending others. Generally, women are more likely than men in using these angry registers in discourse.
Spike-driven threshold-based learning with memristive synapses and neuromorphic silicon neurons

Biologically plausible neuromorphic computing systems are attracting considerable attention due to their low latency, massively parallel information processing abilities, and their high energy efficiency. To achieve these features neuromorphic silicon neuron circuits need to be integrated with plastic synapse circuits capable of on-line learning and storage of synaptic weights. Within this context, memristive devices play a key role thanks to their non-volatility, scalability, and compatibility with the complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor fabrication process. However, neuro-memristive systems are still facing difficult challenges for implementing efficient learning protocols. Here, we propose and demonstrate in hardware a spike-driven threshold-based learning rule which goes beyond conventional spike-timing dependent plasticity mechanisms, by also taking into account the neuron membrane potential and its firing rate. The mixed memristive–neuromorphic system we demonstrate comprises an oxide-based memristive synapse device placed between two silicon neurons implemented on a neuromorphic chip that comprises the proper interfacing and spike-based learning circuits designed to drive the memristive elements. We show how the system is able to emulate in real-time weight dependent post-synaptic activity and drive synaptic weight updates at the memristive synapse level following the spike-driven learning rule presented. We validate this spike-based learning mechanism with experimental results and quantify the system performance with basic learning experiments.
Rings in which not invertible elements are uniquely clean

We call a ring R a generalized uniquely clean (or GUC for short) if every not invertible element in R is uniquely clean. Let R be a ring. It is shown that R is GUC if and only if it is a local ring or a uniquely clean ring. Thus the GUC ring is a generalization of the local ring. Some basic properties of GUC rings are proved.
