Examining Burnout and the Relationships Between Job Characteristics, Engagement, and Turnover Intention Among U.S. Educators

As a modern epidemic, burnout is the leading reason educators leave the profession. Guided by the job demands–resources theory, this study empirically examines the underlying processes associated with burnout and the direct relationships between job characteristics (i.e., job demands and job resources), turnover intention, and work engagement among a U.S. sample of educators (n = 855). Although both job demands and job resources were positively related to work engagement, job demands had a stronger influence. Job demands and job resources were related to burnout; however, job resources had a stronger effect. Burnout mediated the relationship between job demands and work engagement as well as job resources and turnover intention. This study shows that job demands and job resources play an important role in burnout and work engagement. As a workplace phenomenon, addressing burnout requires leaders and managers to create organizational strategies that strengthen and support the work environment. Findings from this study may help inform practice and policy changes, including the intentional development of supportive work environments, carefully crafted positions with person-fit in mind, and effective monitored paid time off policies and processes. Other recommendations and future research are also offered.
Understanding internet gaming addiction in clinical practice

SUMMARY Internet gaming disorder (IGD) is a condition in which the individual is preoccupied with playing online video games and unable to regulate this behaviour, resulting in adverse physical and psychological consequences. Although there is some debate about whether IGD is an addiction or a coping mechanism, global evidence indicates that the condition is increasing in prevalence with recent advances in technology and its higher penetration into routine life. Male children and adolescents located in East Asian countries are at higher risk than others in the world. Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, depression and anxiety are typically associated with IGD. Given the continuing ambiguity regarding the diagnosis and screening tools for the disorder, it has become all the more relevant for mental health practitioners and academics to attend to this condition and develop evidence-based treatments. This review summarises both the existing evidence for the disorder and the debates that surround it.
Child with diphtheria pertussis and tetanus induced afebrile seizures

Vaccination against pertussis was first linked to adverse neurologic events in 1933. One study found that with an elevated risk of seizures and encephalopathy (relative risk 3.3) also in another study, receipt of diphtheria pertussis and tetanus (DPT) vaccine was associated with an increased risk of febrile seizures within three days after vaccination (relative risk 3.7), but not of afebrile seizures noted.
Long-term relationships between molybdenum and sulfur concentrations in redcedar tree rings

Molybdenum and S concentrations were determined in growth increments of 13 eastern redcedar (Juniperus virginana L.) trees from the Ozark region of Missouri. Chronologies were constructed, which dated from 1280 to 1960 for Mo, and from 1580 to 1960 for S. A 45% increase in Mo concentrations occurred between 1720 and 1860 when compared with the previous 440 yr
Understanding size and strain induced variabilities in thermal conductivity of carbon nanotubes: a molecular dynamics study

Abstract Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have shown excellent thermal conduction capabilities and are ideal for thermal management in miniature nano-electronic devices and composite systems. As we go down the length scale, the intensive properties such as thermal conductivity are no longer a material property and the influence of size (length and diameter), defect, and strain state on the thermal conductivity becomes significant. An accurate understanding of the effect of these parameters on the thermal conductivity of nanotubes is necessary to understand and develop efficient nanotube systems with desired thermal characteristics. In this work, we examine the effect of size and strain states on the longitudinal thermal conductivity of single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) using reverse non-equilibrium molecular dynamic simulation. A statistical approach involving parametric study is also adopted covering a wide range of nanotube lengths and diameters. This is followed by a comparative study of phonon density of states of nanotubes in pristine and altered configurations.
Fecal Microbiota Transplant in Cirrhosis Reduces Gut Microbial Antibiotic Resistance Genes: Analysis of Two Trials

Antibiotic resistance leads to poor outcomes in cirrhosis. Fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) is associated with reduction in antibiotic resistance gene (ARG) burden in patients without cirrhosis; however, the impact in cirrhosis is unclear. We aimed to study the effect of capsule and enema FMT on ARG abundance in fecal samples, which were collected during two published FMT trials in patients with cirrhosis on rifaximin, lactulose, and proton pump inhibitors. ARGs were identified using metagenomics and mapped against the Comprehensive Antibiotic Resistance Database. Changes in ARG abundance were studied within/between groups. The capsule FMT trial involved a one‐time FMT or placebo capsule administration with stool collection at baseline and week 4 postintervention. Antibiotics+enema FMT included preprocedure antibiotics followed by FMT enema versus standard‐of‐care (SOC). Stool was collected at baseline, postantibiotics, and day 7/15 postintervention. Both trials included 20 patients each. There was no safety/infection signal linked to FMT. In the capsule trial, beta‐lactamase (OXY/LEN) expression decreased post‐FMT versus baseline. Compared to placebo, patients who were post‐FMT had lower abundance of vancomycin (VanH), beta‐lactamase (ACT), and rifamycin ARGs; the latter was associated with cognitive improvement. No changes were seen within patients treated with placebo. In the antibiotics+enema trial for postantibiotics at day 7 versus baseline, there was an increase in vancomycin and beta‐lactamase ARGs, which decreased at day 15. However, quinolone resistance increased at day 15 versus baseline. Between SOC and FMT, day 7 had largely lower ARG (CfxA beta‐lactamase, VanW, and VanX) that continued at day 15 (cepA beta‐lactamase, VanW). No changes were seen within the SOC group. Conclusion: Despite differences in routes of administration and preintervention antibiotics, we found that ARG abundance is largely reduced after FMT compared to pre‐FMT baseline and non‐FMT groups in decompensated cirrhosis.
Theoretical investigation of hole transport in strained III‐V semiconductors: Application to GaAs

A Monte Carlo method has been developed and applied to study the anisotropic transport of holes in unstrained and strained bulk III‐V compound semiconductors. In this letter, we present the results for the prototypical GaAs, T=300 K material system. We find that the hole mobility can be significantly increased by the presence of biaxial compressive strain in the system. This arises from strain‐induced modifications in the densities of states and the overlap functions and from a separation of the heavy and light hole bands at k=0 which decreases the heavy to light hole interband scattering. For a 1.5% biaxial compressive strain, the hole mobilities are increased by up to a factor of 2 over the unstrained values. This improvement is sustained up to the highest field in our simulations which was 20 kV/cm.
The Effect of Ureteral Stents on Postoperative Pain

Aim: We aimed to assess the postoperative pain after endoscopic ureter stone treatment according to the diameter of double J ureteral stents. Materials and Methods: Our prospective randomized study included 63 patients with successful operation for unilateral ureter stone and DJ ureteral stent inserted. Patients were divided into 2 subgroups as aged under 40 years and over 40 years. These subgroups were randomized into 4.8 Fr and 6 Fr ureteral DJ stent groups preoperatively in double-blind man-ner. Patients had pain and other complaints recorded preoperative (preop), postoperative (po) 3rd, 7th days and 1 week after stent removal. Patient pain levels were determined using the numerical pain scale (NPS). Results: For patients under 40 years of age, Group 1 had preop NPS score of 9.17±0.32, while in Group 2 this was 9.79±0.15 (p=0.099), on po 3rd day NPS scores were 2.50±0.73 and 7.36±0.45 (p<0.05), on po 7th day scores were 1.92±0.53 and 2.57±0.48 (p=0.428), and 1 week after DJ catheter removal scores were 0.08±0.08, 0.57±0.23 (p=0.087), respectively. In both groups over 40 years of age, there were no significant differences in the NPS scores at these times. There were no significant differences identified between the groups for stone size and operation duration. Conclusions: We think the use of 4.8 Fr DJ catheters after endoscopic ureter stone treatment is more appropriate for pain control in the early po period, especially for young patients under 40 years of age. Additionally, we believe there is a need for more studies related to the neces-sity for use of ureteral stents and the features that optimal stents should have.
Effects of Aerosolized Amiloride on Mucociliary Transport Velocity and Transepithelial Potential Difference in Isolated Frog Palate

ABSTRACT An in vitro dose-response study was performed to determine the effects of aerosolized amiloride on transepithelial potential difference and mucociliary velocity. A preparation of isolated frog palate (Rana sculenta) was used for two groups: one submitted to amiloride nebulization (n = 7) and a control group submitted to vehicle (NaCl 0.45%) nebulization (n = 7). Transepithelial potential difference was measured by means of agar-filled microelectrodes connected to the high input of a grounded electrometer. Mucociliary velocity was determined by monitoring the movement of aluminum disks as tracer particles. Amiloride nebulization caused a significant dose-dependent increase in mucociliary velocity when compared to the control group (p < 0.05). The amiloride also turned the luminal surface more positive, promoting a decrease (in absolute value) in transepithelial potential difference when compared to the control group (p < 0.05). A positive and continuous (quadratic) association between mucociliary .
A Numerical Study of the Global Formation of Tropical Cyclones

This study examines the large‐scale factors that govern global tropical cyclone (TC) formation and an upper bound on the annual number of TCs. Using idealized simulations for an aquaplanet tropical channel, it is shown that the tropical atmosphere has a maximum capacity in generating TCs, even under ideal environmental conditions. Regardless of how favorable the tropical environment is, the total number of TCs generated in the tropical channel possesses a consistent cap across experiments. Analyses of daily TC genesis events reveal further that global TC formation is intermittent throughout the year in a series of episodes at a roughly 2‐week frequency, with a cap of 8–10 genesis events per day. Examination of different large‐scale environmental factors shows that 600‐hPa moisture content, 850‐hPa absolute vorticity, and vertical wind shear are the most critical factors for this global episodic TC formation. Specifically, both the 850‐hPa absolute vorticity and the 600‐hPa moisture are relatively higher at the onset of TC formation episodes. Once TCs form and move to poleward, the total moisture content and the absolute vorticity in the main genesis region subside, thus reducing large‐scale instability and producing an unfavorable environment for TCs to form. It takes ∼2 weeks for the tropical atmosphere to remoisten and rebuild the large‐scale instability associated with the Intertropical Convergence Zone before a new TC formation episode can occur. These results offer new insight into the processes that control the upper bound on the global number of TCs in the range of 80–100 annually.
The Financial Behavior of Investment Decision Making Between Real and Financial Assets Sectors

This research was conducted to achieve several objectives and focus research was based on financial behavior theory and prospect theory as grounded theory e.g., investigate the financial decision-making behavior between financial and real assets investment, and confirm the relationship existing between herding behavior and overconfidence factors to the level of loss and regret aversion, and financial literacy into real assets investment decisions. The study used 220 real estate auction respondents as investor samples at the State Assets and Auction Service Office Makassar, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Data was collected through the use of a questionnaire consisting of 23 questions to measure the variables. Moreover, the research data passed through several feasibility tests like the inner and outer modeling by Partial Least Square – Structural equation model (PLS-SEM) while the hypotheses formulated were also tested to determine the magnitude of the variable relationship. Through the use of the direct and intervening test, loss and regret aversion variables have a positive and significant effect while financial literacy variables have no significant effect. There is a slight difference in the decision-making process for real assets and financial assets investors. Investment decision making behavior in the financial assets sector requires less complicated decisions compared to the decisions related to real assets investments.
CANOPY PHOTOSYNTHESIS, SPECIFIC LEAF WEIGHT, AND YIELD COMPONENTS OF COTTON UNDER VARYING NITROGEN SUPPLY

Nitrogen (N) nutrition greatly affects the number of nodes above the uppermost white flower (NAWF), an indicator of plant growth and development in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L). In this study, we examined relationships of NAWF with canopy photosynthesis (CP), specific leaf weight (SLW), and yield components, boll number, and dry weight in cotton under varying N supply. Four pre-plant soil incorporated fertilizer N treatments were imposed on long-term N fertilizer plots (fine-silty, mixed, thermic Typic Fragiudalt); 0, 55, 82, and 110 kg N ha−1. Soil N level had a dramatic effect on NAWF, CP, SLW, and yield components, all of which increased with increasing soil N level. However, CP and NAWF declined as the season progressed under all four soil N levels. Canopy photosynthesis, SLW, and yield components were closely associated with NAWF as the soil N increased from 0 to 110 kg N ha−1. Also, the photosynthetic capacity of the canopy was strongly related to SLW under increasing soil N. These relationships of NAWF with CP, SLW, and yield components suggested that NAWF could be used as an index to predict the yield potential of cotton plants in a given environment.
A measurement and model study on ozone characteristics in marine air at a remote island station and its interaction with urban ozone air quality in Shanghai, China

Abstract. To understand the characteristics and changes of baseline ozone (O3) in oceanic air in eastern China, a 6-year measurement of O3 concentration was conducted from 1 January 2012 to 15 September 2017 at a remote offshore station located on Sheshan Island (SSI) near the megacity of Shanghai. The observed monthly mean O3 concentrations at SSI ranged from 33.4 to 61.4 ppbv during the study period, which were about 80 % and 12 % higher, respectively, than those measured at downtown and rural sites in Shanghai. Compared to the remarkable O3 increases observed at urban and rural sites in Shanghai, observed O3 concentrations at SSI exhibited statistically insignificant increasing changes (1.12 ppbv yr−1, α>0.10) during the observation period, suggesting less impacts of anthropogenic emissions on O3 levels in oceanic air. In addition, an insignificant decreasing change (−0.72 ppbv yr−1, α>0.10) was detected in O3 concentrations at SSI in September and October when the influence of regional transport was minimum throughout the year, providing a good proxy to study the baseline oxidation capacity of the oceanic atmosphere. City plumes from Shanghai usually carried higher levels of NOx, resulting in decreased O3 concentrations at SSI during southwesterly and westerly winds. However, In MAM (March–May) and JJA (June–August), due to the enhanced production of oxygenated volatile organic compounds, O3 could be continuously produced during daytime in aged city plumes, resulting in elevated O3 concentrations transported to SSI. The impacts of the offshore O3 on O3 levels in Shanghai are quantified during an easterly wind dominant episode (1–30 September 2014) using the WRF-Chem model (Weather Research and Forecasting model coupled with Chemistry). Sensitivity results suggest that O3 in the oceanic air inflows can lead to 20 %–30 % increases in urban O3 concentrations, which should be crucially considered in dealing with urban O3 pollution in large coastal cities like Shanghai.
Intraspecific Trait Variation Dilutes Deterministic Processes in Community Assembly of Arid Shrubs across Multiple Scales

Trait-based approaches present a promising avenue for improving our understanding of species coexistence and community assembly, while intraspecific trait variation (ITV) across different spatial scales is important in trait-based community assembly mechanisms, especially in extreme environments. In this study, we focused on the functional diversity and community assembly patterns of a desert community across different spatial scales and investigated whether ITV plays a significant role in community assembly processes in arid habitats. A 50 m × 50 m plot with different small quadrats was established in a typical desert community at the transition zone between the Tengger Desert and Loess Plateau in China. A total of 14 traits were selected to assess the trait-based functional diversity and assembly processes in the community. We found that functional diversity showed different patterns when considering ITV and related to different types of traits (chemical traits or morphological traits) and some soil factors (pH and nitrate nitrogen). Plant communities in this study showed stochastic distribution patterns and similar functional diversity patterns based on functional trait approaches, regardless of spatial scales. Also, the effect of ITV on community assembly did not show more effect with increasing scales. These results indicated that ITV diluted deterministic processes in community assembly across scales in arid habitats.
Analyzing the Effect of Different Levels of Pruning on Growth, Yield and Quality of Psidium guajava L. Cv. Lalit (Guava)

The present investigation entitled „„Effect of different levels of pruning on growth, yield and quality of guava. (Psidium guajava L.) Cv. Lalit” guava plant at the Horticulture Research Field, Department of Horticulture, SHUATS, Naini, Prayagraj agro-climatic condition during 2019-20. The data had been statistically analyzed by using Randomized Block Design. In this experiment, seven pruning treatments (control, 10 cm, 20 cm, 30 cm,40 cm, 50 cm and 60 cm) significantly influenced cropping pattern of guava viz. plant height (30, 60, 90, 120, 150 DAP), No. of flowers / tree, Fruit set (%), Days to first fruit harvest, Number of fruit per tree, Fruit weight (gm.), Fruit diameter (cm), Yield (Kg/Plant), Yield (t/ha.), TSS (%), Acidity (%). The maximum fruit yield was recorded in T4 (30 cm pruning) (13.33 kg) per plant and the minimum yield was recorded in T1 (Control) (8.19 kg) per plant.
The Effect of Training, Information Technology, Intellectual and Emotional Intelligence on Teacher’s Performance

The performance of a teacher has an important role in the success of education in general. This study aims to determine the factors that affect the decline in teacher performance in one of the junior secondary schools in Indonesia. Based on the literature review, four exogenous variables were identified, namely, training, utilization of information technology, intellectual intelligence, and emotional intelligence. This study uses primary data, collected from a questionnaire distributed to respondents. The questionnaire items are measured using a Likert scale. The sample in this study were all teachers at MTS Darul Falah Sirahan, totaling 32 people. The analysis technique used in testing the hypothesis of this study is multiple regression analysis. Statistical product and service solutions are used as analysis tools. The results of this study indicate that only the variable ‘utilization of information technology’ has a positive and significant effect. However, the variables ‘training,’ ‘intellectual intelligence,’ and ‘emotional intelligence’ did not have a significant effect. This finding contradicts the literature in general. Therefore, this study recommends improving training methods, both those carried out internally by schools and by related agencies, and schools still need to optimize guidance and potential for teacher’s intelligence in improving performance.
Temperature changes and elevation‐warming relationships in the Carpathian Mountains

This paper investigates the elevation‐warming relationships across the Carpathian Mountains, using the 0.1° × 0.1° gridded daily air temperature dataset developed within the CARPATCLIM project, in order to understand the spatial patterns of annual and seasonal temperature trends and test the hypothesis of enhanced warming with elevation. Temperature trend and elevation‐warming analyses were conducted over the 50 years of the dataset (1961–2010). The vertical variations of five key isotherms relevant for the development of cold‐climate weathering, presence of permafrost (−2°C, 0°C, +2°C, +3°C) and spread of forest vegetation (July +10°C) were also examined. The Carpathian Mountains are under visible annual and seasonal warming (stronger in the summer and winter), both daytime and nighttime. The warming process shows a great spatial inhomogeneity, but is more pronounced in the lowlands of the region, generally below 1,000–1,200 m. The correlations between elevation and warming rates across the Carpathians have been found both to be positive and negative, while mostly significant at the 5% level. Evidence of enhanced warming with elevation was found to be related to the minimum temperature increase mostly across the NW and SW Carpathians, at both annual and seasonal scales (winter, summer and spring). Less prominent EDW signals have been identified in the NE, E and S Carpathians (summer), as well as in the NE Carpathians (spring). Parts of the detected temperature trends and EDW signals have been considered to be an effect of the changing atmospheric circulation (i.e. westerly intensification especially in the winter), although other mechanisms and processes could be involved (e.g. snow‐albedo feedbacks in the spring). These results could serve as a reference for further investigations of climate warming effects across the Carpathian Mountains region (e.g. ecological and geomorphic), especially in relation to the augmented summer heat stress (e.g. more frequent heatwaves) and milder winters (e.g. less freezing days).
