An Investigation of the Relationship between Perceived Organizational Support and Organizational Outcomes among Nurses in Selected Mission Hospitals in Ghana

The study investigated the relationship between perceived organizational support and organizational outcomes among nurses of selected mission hospitals in Ghana. Compared with Public Sector hospitals, Mission hospitals in Ghana operate with very limited resources. Thus, they have very little to incentivize their staff. Nonetheless, there is the general assumption that employers who demonstrate generous disposition towards their employees will reap reciprocal benefits. Such employees work beyond the job demands even in periods of serious financial difficulties. Phenomenology research design under the qualitative research method was used to find answers to the research questions. A sample size of 40 was drawn through purposive sampling technique from five selected Mission Hospitals in Bono and Bono East Regions of Ghana. Data collection tools used in the study were interview and observation. The data analysis went through compiling, disassembling, reassembling, interpreting and concluding, phases. The text was sorted based on predefined themes. Illustrative words from the original field notes were selected and placed in a table. Initial (level 1) codes mimicked the original information in the case of semantic coding process and, in the case of latent coding, meanings imbedded in the text were generated; this was presented in a form of discourse analysis. When the perceptible index of employees is made up of benevolence, care and celebration; when employees perceive employers who are concerned about their goals and values, and are willing to help them when they need special favour, they become a part of the organization and are ready to work beyond the job demands. Hence, organizations are advised to resource their human resource departments adequately to be able to respond to the needs and aspirations of their employees.
Plasmodium and Schistosoma haematobium infections as well as haematological parameters in school-aged children in Muyuka-Cameroon: a cross-sectional study on the influence of nutritional status

Background: School-aged children (SAC) are a high-risk demographic group for infectious diseases and malnutrition. The objective of this study was to assess the burden and the effect of Plasmodium and Schistosoma haematobium infections on the haematological indices in SAC and the confounding influence of malnutrition on the outcomes.Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in SAC 4-14 years old living in Ikata, Bafia and Mile 14-Likoko in Muyuka-Cameroon. Anthropometric measures of malnutrition (z-scores < −2 standard deviations below mean) were obtained and blood samples collected were used for detection of malaria parasites by Giemsa-stained blood films using light microscopy and complete blood count analysis using an automated haematology analyser. Urine samples collected were used to detect micro haematuria with the aid of reagent strips and the eggs of S. haematobium by urine filtration technique. Multiple linear regression model was used to examine influence of independent variables on haematological parameters.Results: Out of the 606 SAC examined, the prevalence of single infections with Plasmodium or S. haematobium and co-infection with both parasites was 16.2%, 16.3% and 8.3%, respectively. Overall, malaria parasite (MP), urogenital schistosomiasis, malnutrition, anaemia, haematuria, microcytosis and thrombocytopenia was prevalent in 24.4%, 24.6%, 25.9%, 74.4%, 12.2%, 45.4% and 11.1% of SAC, respectively. A significant linear decline (P = 0.023) in prevalence of P. falciparum infection with the severity of stunting was observed. Factors that significantly (P<0.005) influenced haematological parameters included; haemoglobin: age, stunting and MP; haematocrit: age and MP; white blood cell count: age; red blood cell count; age and MP; lymphocyte counts: stunting; MCV: age; MCH: age and stunting; MCHC: sex, stunting and RDW-CV: sex, age and stunting.Conclusions: Plasmodium and S. haematobium are of public health concern in Muyuka-Cameroon and requires expansion of the existing control measures. Malnutrition, microcytosis and thrombocytopenia are common, and anaemia is a severe public health problem in the community. The interaction between haemoglobin level with malaria parasites, S. haematobium as well as the linear growth index is negative and other interactions indicate systemic inflammation. Hence, the need for regular monitoring to improve the health status of the children.
The building emission reduction potential of South African residential building efficiency tools – A review

The building sector’s levels of greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption are a significant contributor to South Africa’s overall carbon emissions. This influences the country’s ability to meet its commitments to the Paris Agreement, which aims to limit the effects of global climate change. This review article focuses on the climate change mitigation strategies that are employed by the building sector, specifically the potential impact of mandatory and voluntary building energy efficiency regulations, standards, initiatives, and certifications common to South Africa’s residential market. International research on the impact of green building tools tends to focus on the commercial rather than the residential sector, due to limited energy data availability. Within this context and given the exploratory and evaluative nature of the present research endeavour, substantial reliance has had to be made on grey literature for this research. A review of the South African building efficiency tools shows that there is potential for a 16% reduction in the energy intensity of the residential sector by 2030. This will, however, be offset by the projected increased building floor area and is as Acta Structilia 2020: 27(2) 152 such insufficient to meet South Africa’s commitments to the Paris Agreement. Thus, more ambitious targets are required. Given the growth of the residential sector and the potential impact of the various tools, a focus on improved and timeous mandatory regulations for new builds is crucial, in order to meet our climate commitments.
Rainfall trend and variability over Opak River basin, Yogyakarta, Indonesia

Rainfall intensity seems to be increasing nowadays due to climate change as presented in many studies of both global and regional scale. Consequently, cities worldwide are now more vulnerable to flooding. In Indonesia, increasing frequency of floods was reported for the past decades by The National Agency for Disaster Countermeasure (BNPB). To understand the rainfall changes, long-term trend evaluation over a specific area is then crucial due to the large variability of spatial and temporal rainfall distribution. This study investigates the homogeneity and trend of rainfall data from 20 stations over the Opak River basin, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. A long-term ground observation rainfall data whose period varies from 1979 to 2019 were analyzed. Non-parametric Mann – Kendall test was applied to assess the trend, while the magnitude was calculated using the Sen’s slope estimator. An increasing annual maximum of daily rainfall intensity was observed at four stations on a 0.95 confidence level based on the Mann – Kendall test, while the Sen’s slope estimator shows a positive trend at almost all stations. The trend of heavy rainfall frequency was also found to be significantly increased, with only one station showed a decreasing trend. Furthermore, this paper also described the spatial rainfall variability. Positive trend was mostly found during the rainy season, while the negative trend occurred during the dry season. This could pose a challenge for water resource management engineering and design, such as water supply systems or reservoir management. Understanding this phenomenon will benefit hydrologists in preparing future water resource engineering and management.
Lethal manifestations of meteorological and cosmic factors

Data on mortality in Moscow region during 1977 to 1996 reveal that total mortality per 1000 citizens is 3 to 4 times less than it occurred at the beginning of XX century. Catalogue of intense geomagnetic storms is compiled for 1867 to 1996. Separation of data for geomagnetic-quiet and stormy years has shown that mortality during stormy years is increased by 30% as compared with quiet years. Seasonal variations of geomagnetic storms and mortality during quiet years reaches maxima near equinoxes but the peaks of mortality during stormy years are shifted towards the summer and winter. Lethal manifestations of the weather anomalies are less pronounced than the space storms: impact of precipitation anomalies on death-rate is negligible at the given area, the air temperature decrease is followed by enhancement of the death-rate by 10% during autumn while warming led to enhancement of the death-rate by 10% for winter, spring and summer and average for a year.
Facilitated Diffusion of Methane in Pores with a Higher Aromaticity

Shale gas, which was recently discovered with a large reserve, has invoked wide interest as an alternative energy resource of natural gas. However, little is known about the molecular properties of shale gas (mainly methane) confined in the nanopores of shale, such as their diffusivity, which is essential for its exploitation and utilization. We study here the diffusivity of methane using 1H pulsed field gradient (PFG) NMR and theoretical modeling. Following analysis of the physicochemical properties of shale, a well-ordered mesoporous silica material (SBA-15) modified with organic functional groups is employed to model the mesopores observed in the shale and to study the fundamental behavior of shale gas. The results demonstrate that methane moves faster in the pores modified with the aromatic phenyl groups than those with nonaromatic cyclohexyl groups, suggesting a higher diffusivity of methane with increasing maturity of shale.

Epitaxial growth and physical properties of ternary nitride thin films by polymer-assisted deposition

Epitaxial layered ternary metal-nitride FeMoN2, (Fe0.33Mo0.67)MoN2, CoMoN2, and FeWN2 thin films have been grown on c-plane sapphire substrates by polymer-assisted deposition. The ABN2 layer sits on top of the oxygen sublattices of the substrate with three possible matching configurations due to the significantly reduced lattice mismatch. The doping composition and elements affect not only the out-of-plane lattice parameters but also the temperature-dependent electrical properties. These films have resistivity in the range of 0.1–1 mΩ·cm, showing tunable metallic or semiconducting behaviors by adjusting the composition. A modified parallel connection channel model has been used to analyze the grain boundary and Coulomb blockade effect on the electrical properties. The growth of the high crystallinity layered epitaxial thin films provides an avenue to study the composition-structure-property relationship in ABN2 materials through A and B-site substitution.
Introduction to A Modern Guide to Economic Sociology

This volume provides a modern guide to the fundamental concepts, premises and findings of economic sociology within sociological theory and research and its elements and implications in theoretical and empirical economics. Accordingly, it invites and includes contributions from both modern economic sociologists and contemporary sociologically minded – especially institutional, social, political, behavioral and cognitive – economists doing theoretical or empirical work in this and closely related fields. In general, the concepts, premises and stages of economic sociology within sociological theory and research tend to correspond and converge with its elements and implications in theoretical and empirical economics. Thus, the fundamentals and main developments of economic sociology within sociological analysis appear to be generally compatible with the variations and tendencies in economics. Almost every major concept, premise and stage of economic sociology corresponds, converges and is essentially compatible in various degrees and ways with an element, implication and phase of it in economics, primarily social, institutional, political, behavioral and related economics. This can be considered and formulated as a high degree of correspondence, convergence and compatibility between economic sociology within sociological theory and research and its elements and approximations in theoretical and empirical economics with respect to a shared set of core concepts and premises, as well as a common sequence of phases of development. And this shared set of core principles or a common sequence of phases primarily makes sociology and economics ‘sister disciplines’ or ‘allied’ social sciences, probably more than any other ideas or methods do (including ‘rational choice theory’ or the universal ‘economic approach to human behavior’ extending from the second to the first discipline). For illustration, the original, classical idea, premise and phase of economic sociology in sociological theory since Auguste Comte and perhaps even earlier
Do Omnivores Perform Class Distinction? A Qualitative Inspection of Culinary Tastes, Boundaries and Cultural Tolerance

This article explores the culinary taste repertoires of middle-class people in Turkey who can be defined as omnivores due to their routine engagement with ‘lowbrow’ food spaces. We aim to understand how they make sense of their boundary crossing and the extent to which this indicates tolerance. We find that our culinary omnivores develop interest in traditional food and tend to cross established boundaries between the traditional and modern to maintain a cosmopolitan palette. However, our analysis identifies certain conditions that foster and limit omnivorous practices, such as mealtime, type of occasion and with whom the food is shared, as well as one’s class trajectory, demonstrating how selective people are when they step outside of their original taste profiles. Derogatory comments about the manners of these settings’ original clientele suggest that omnivores continue to perform distinction regardless of their openness to ‘lowbrow’ cultural forms.
The Teaching of Listening in A Pesantren-based University during Covid-19 Pandemic

Abstract This study explores the teaching of listening in pesantren- based university during COVID-19 pandemic. There are 18 male students and 6 female students taking part in the study. They are taking Listening for Daily Conversation course for 7 meetings. The data is collected using questionnaire in the form of Google Form. There were two aspects asked to the respondents; (1)about the materials and (2)about the teaching and learning activity. The study found that; (1)the level of difficulty used by the lecturer teaching Listening for Daily Conversation class needs to be adjusted to students’ current level of competence, (2)lecturer teaching the course at the male campus gave less questions in the assignment compared to lecturer teaching in the female campus who give more questions to the students, (3)male students’ answers are more homogeneous compared to female students’ answers, (4) male students tend to show more happiness and gratefulness compared to female students showed more sadness, (4)almost all of the male students think that them could not meet the lecturers do not affect them. Meanwhile, the female students are more affected, (5)students from both campuses needed assistance from the Internet, books, dictionary, and their friends, (6)lecturers from both campuses provided assistance to the students. Being an effective English lecturer requires being able to help and assist students in their learning process, (7) can be interpreted that students’ suggestions on what needs to be improved are divided into the teaching and learning activity for male students and students themselves for female students. It is hoped that this study will contribute to the body of knowledge in terms of the teaching of listening during COVID-19 pandemic.

Oxyresveratrol-induced Activation of Nrf2/HO-1 Signaling Pathway Enhances Ability of Resveratrol to Inhibit UVB-induced Melanin

Abstract Objective: This study was performed to investigate the relationship between the human melanogenesis and antioxidant systems and to further confirm the synergistic effect of oxyresveratrol (OXYR) and resveratrol (RES) in human epidermal melanocyte cell line. Methods: The human epidermal melanocyte line PIG1 cells were divided into the UV groups and control group, treated with different doses of UVB and without UVB, respectively. MTT assay and flow cytometry were used to detect cell viability and apoptosis. The expression of Nrf2/HO-1 and melanogenesis-associated proteins/genes was measured by Western blotting and real-time qPCR (RT-qPCR). pCMV6-XL5-Nrf2 was used to upregulate the expression of Nrf2. Subsequently, the proteins/genes levels of Nrf2/HO-1 and tyrosinase (TYR), melanin/eumelanin content, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) were analyzed. Isobologram analysis and cell experiment were used to analyze whether OXYR and RES inhibit TYR synergistically. Western blotting, RT-qPCR, and NaOH splitting method were used to determine the Nrf2/HO-1 and melanogenesis-associated proteins/genes expression and melanin content to evaluate the efficacy of OXYR and RES. Results: The activated Nrf2 and HO-1 eliminated ROS produced by UVB irradiation. The melanogenesis-associated proteins/genes of melanocyte-inducing transcription factor (MITF, P < 0.01 on protein expression), TYR (both P < 0.01), TYR-related protein (TRP)-1 (both P < 0.05), and TRP2 (P < 0.05 on mRNA expression) were activated in PIG1 cells by UVB irradiation. Simultaneously, the upregulation of Nrf2 significantly reduced melanogenesis formation (P < 0.001) and TYR level (P < 0.01 on protein expression). Moreover, OXYR and RES synergistically inhibited TYR activity (P < 0.001) and reduced melanin content (P < 0.001). Conclusions: A microbalance exists between Nrf2/HO-1 signaling and melanogenesis production in the UVB-induced responses of melanocytes. Simultaneously, OXYR enhances the ability of RES to inhibit melanin production.
Awareness of basic knowledge of hand hygiene practices among Chinese healthcare workers: a questionnaire-based survey

Objectives Hand hygiene is a key measure for the prevention and control of healthcare-associated infection. We investigated the level of awareness of the basic concepts surrounding hand hygiene among healthcare workers in China to inform future targeted hand hygiene promotion activities. Methods An online questionnaire survey comprising 10 single/multiple-choice questions was conducted from April to June 2018 in 30 provinces and municipalities in three regions of China. Logistic analysis was performed to identify differences between regions, types of hospitals, healthcare workers categories, clinical departments, and gender. Results A total of 52,286 responses were received. Among these, 45,455 (86.94%) were included in the final analysis. The overall correct response rate was 26.53%. Eastern China demonstrated a better knowledge than other regions. Respondents in primary care facilities had a higher correct response rate than other types of hospitals and logistics staff had the highest correct response rate than other professional groups. Among clinical departments, staff in the outpatient/emergency room had the highest rate of correct responses. Conclusion Large differences exist in the basic knowledge of hand hygiene across different regions in China and knowledge levels need to be specifically strengthened among secondary care facilities, nurse professionals, gynaecology/obstetrics/paediatric departments and infection control units.
