The Impact of Person-Job Fit, Person-Organization Fit on Job Satisfaction

It has been observed in many organizations that some employees feel unsatisfied with their work, the justification behind the dissatisfaction could be due to various reasons such as skills and abilities of an employee if not match with the job or task requirements or the work assigned is not according to individual capabilities. As far as the previous studies are concerned, it is revealed that person job fit, and person organization fit have a significant positive relationship with job satisfaction. Thus, in this regard, this study was conducted to examine the relationship between person-job fit, and person-organization fit on job satisfaction. To gather the primary data, a questionnaire was adopted from previous similar published studies. The data were collected from employees working at Aspin Pharma, a pharmaceutical company in Karachi, Pakistan. The total number of study sample was 313 employees out of which 173 useable responses were employed for data analyses. In addition, this research study has adopted a descriptive survey design, and which utilized primary data to obtain information on the study variables. The method of the research is mono method, and the examination of the study is based in quantitative research through descriptive statistics to measure the multi-dimension of employee satisfaction, person job fit, and person organization fit. To conclude, the result reveals that Person Job Fit as well as Person Organization Fit have a significant relationship with job satisfaction. The study findings will be useful for managerial decision makers to improve person job and organization fit dimensions in their organization to enhance employee satisfaction and work productivity.
Preventing falls in older adults: Understanding postural instability to improve fall assessment and prevention

Falls in older adults are a serious and increasing problem for the NHS. Due to their multifactorial causes falls are difficult to prevent but research suggests that assessment and early interventions of those at risk of falling can help reduce fall frequency and consequently alleviate the health service burden and improve quality of life for older adults. The overall objective of this work was to investigate postural stability in persons over the age of 65 years to understand why this age group are susceptible to falls. Three main research aims were pursued (i) establish the scale of the issue of falls in older adults; (ii) develop an assessment system to measure postural stability; (iii) determine the conditions that compromise postural stability and assess awareness of this compromised stability. Firstly the existing literature was reviewed and a large scale analysis of accident reports from a sample of UK care homes was carried out. The results showed that falls are a serious issue for older adults residing in care homes, but also that accident reports are not necessarily reliable and some institutions may underreport falls. Pilot work in the early stages of the research process developed an accurate and reliable system to measure levels of postural stability. A Wii balance board was interfaced with a computer based kinematic assessment tool to measure postural stability whilst carrying out a variety of computerised secondary tasks. This assessment system was then used to fulfil the final research aim of investigating postural stability in older adults when loaded with various secondary tasks. Older adults’ postural stability was found to be compromised when undertaking a concurrent visuomotor task, but critically the results showed that this group were unaware of this compromise. The implications of these findings are discussed and further research directions are suggested.
Interpreting Variability through Multiple Methodologies: Form, Function and Technology of Microliths

The reason for material culture’s morphological variability is one of the most fundamental debates in archaeological studies. These debates factor strongly into Levantine Epipalaeolithic research, where the morphological variability of microlithic tools has been interpreted to represent distinct cultural or ethnic communities. Understanding the functional and technological aspects of microlith variability will greatly contribute to our understanding of how microlithic tools act as both functional artifacts and carriers of symbolic loads. My research addresses this question through the use of multiple methodologies, including analysis of retouching sequences, use-wear analysis, morphometrics, and typological studies. This research seeks to gain understanding of the transformative processes that are undertaken by tools over their life-history, addressing the diversity in Middle Epipalaeolithic material culture.
Better learning, better performance: evidence from the 2004 Learning at Work survey

This report presents the main results to emerge from an innovative survey of how employees learn at work. It is based on a survey of 1,943 employees interviewed about their jobs in a threeweek period in February 2004. Its key findings are as follows: • Despite the emphasis placed on training course attendance and the acquisition of qualifications by policy-makers, both were lowly rated by our respondents in terms of their helpfulness for improved work performance. One in four employees reported that training courses were of little or no value in improving work performance and around one in three thought that studying for qualifications had not helped them at work. • Activities more closely associated with the workplace – such as doing the job, being shown things, engaging in self-reflection and keeping one’s eyes and ears open – were reckoned to provide more helpful insights into how to do the job better. Over half the sample thought that learning by doing was the most effective means of improving work performance, with 90 per cent agreeing that they had picked up most of their skills through on-the-job experience. This applies to all types of worker, but it is of particular relevance to those lower down the occupational hierarchy. • Working provides the most important source of learning once in a job. In other words, the most effective classroom is often the workplace itself. Almost nine out of ten respondents said that their job required them to learn new things and pass on tips to colleagues. • Despite the hype surrounding the use of e-learning, half of those interviewed reported that the Internet had been of no use whatsoever in helping them to improve their work performance. • The survey found that employees learn more when they are involved in organising, planning and checking the quality of their own work. • Good line management also enhances learning. Managers who offer better advice, are more understanding, spend more time coaching and provide more counselling to those in their charge are rewarded with more effective and productive staff. The survey results should prompt policy-makers to look to the workplace as an importance site of learning and encourage researchers to focus on the usefulness of work activities themselves as effective sources of learning.
MitoToxy assay: A novel cell-based method for the assessment of metabolic toxicity in a multiwell plate format using a lactate FRET nanosensor, Laconic

Mitochondrial toxicity is a primary source of pre-clinical drug attrition. Methods that detect mitochondrial toxicity as early as possible during the drug development process are required. Here we introduce a new method for detecting mitochondrial toxicity based on MDA-MB-231 cells stably expressing the genetically-encoded FRET lactate indicator, Laconic. The method takes advantage of the high cytosolic lactate accumulation observed during mitochondrial stress, regardless of the specific toxicity mechanism, explained by compensatory glycolytic activation. IC50 determination using a standard multi-well plate reader, shown that the methodology allowed to detect metabolic toxicity induced by azide, antimycin, oligomycin, rotenone and myxothiazol with high sensitivity. Suitability for high-throughput screening applications was evaluated resulting in a Z’-factor > 0.5 and CV% < 20. A pilot screening allowed sensitive detection of commercial drugs that were previously withdrawn from the market due to liver/cardiac toxicity issues, such as camptothecin, ciglitazone, troglitazone, rosiglitazone, and terfenadine, in ten minutes. We envisage that the availability of this technology, based on a fluorescent genetically-encoded indicator will allow direct assessment of mitochondrial metabolism, and will make the early detection of mitochondrial toxicity in the drug development process possible, saving time and resources.
Sustainability Assessment of Public Transport, Part II—Applying a Multi-Criteria Assessment Method to Compare Different Bus Technologies

Many Swedish regional transport authorities want bus fleets driven on renewable fuels. However, it may be difficult to know what technology, or combination of technologies, to choose. There is a need for improved knowledge and supportive methods for sustainability assessments that can support public procurement processes. In the companion article (Part I), a multi-criteria assessment (MCA) method for assessments of public bus technologies’ sustainability was established, consisting of four key areas and 12 indicators. In this article, the purpose is to apply the method established in part I on different bus technologies by looking at a general Swedish case and assessing buses driven on diesel, Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO), Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (FAME), ethanol, natural gas, biomethane and electricity. Each technology is assessed on a scale from Very Poor to Very Good according to the indicators: technical maturity, daily operational availability, total cost of ownership, need for investments in infrastructure, cost stability, non-renewable primary energy efficiency, greenhouse gas emission savings, air pollution, noise, local/regional impact on land and aquatic environments, energy security and sociotechnical systems services. The results show the strengths and weaknesses of each technology, which are later discussed. We also critically reflect upon the usefulness and accuracy of the MCA method.
Analysis of Healthy People's Attention Based on EEG Spectrum

To study the human brain through EEG monitoring device the time required into the concentration. EEG data collected from a large number of healthy subjects. EEG record of each participant must be recorded twice on the same day, and one is in a relaxed state, another is state of fatigue. The hardware of EEG devices had optimized in order to strengthen the anti-interference capability. Recording software had redesigned, the EEG recording data show concise and clear. The experiment mainly observe three EEG curves (theta/alpha/beta). The results of the experiment revealed that the time required is very close of most human's brain achieves the concentration of attention, but there are a few shows excellent qualities. However, there were that a small number of participants unable achieves the status within the time specified in the experiment. We believe that use of EEG technology can provide a reference when selecting talents, such as selection of shooting athletes in sports field.

A study on the storage of sterilized soymilk

The study was aimed at the improvement of shelf-life of protein rich soymilk which can be consumed in developing countries such as India to overcome protein energy malnutrition. Sterilized soymilk was prepared by standard procedure and was treated with sterilization method of heat treatment (121oC for 15 min) after bottling. Samples were stored in refrigerated (4oC) as well as at room temperature conditions. Quality attributes like viscosity, TSS, titrable acidity, pH, standard plate count, yeast and mold count were determined at the regular interval of 10 days. On the basis of the quality attributes it was observed that sterilized soymilk samples were acceptable up to 170 days in refrigerated condition while same samples were acceptable up to 90 days in ambient temperature condition from the day of preparation. Thus the study reveals that sterilization treatment successfully increased the shelf-life of soymilk stored at refrigerated condition.
Feasibility for the Use of Flat Booster Reflectors in Various Photovoltaic Installations

The feasibility for the addition of flat booster reflectors to PV panels is techno-economically investigated for various applications (building attached PVs, ground installations, grid-connected or stand-alone units) and various PV types (mono-crystalline and amorphous silicon PV panels). A model developed to this aim is applied to optimize the parameters of the PV/reflector module and to evaluate its applicability according to the solar radiation data of Athens (Greece). The reflectors may lead to significant increase of total incident solar radiation annually, without however to equivalently improve the economy of the system. The several reasons for this are identified (uneven illumination, edge effects, increased cell temperature, cost of reflectors). Promising applications of flat booster reflector proved to be their use in specific building attached photovoltaics (at south facades) and in standalone applications, allowing –in the latter- a better matching between the load and the energy source annual profiles.
A Transfer Report on the Development of a Framework to Evaluate Search Interfaces for their Support of Different User Types and Search Tactics

As the understanding of search systems, user needs and seeking strategies is developing, the design of search user interfaces is evolving to support more complicated and exploratory forms of search. With the design of new search features that enable these richer modes of exploration, comes the need to better understand the support they provide. In this report a new evaluation framework is presented that analyses search features for how they a) contribute to an overall interface, b) allow users to carry out different search tactics, and c) support different types of users and their needs. The novel contributions of the framework improve on some of the limitations of typical user studies, and allow search systems to be systematically analysed in much more detail and in much less time. The presented evaluation framework is then validated in three ways. First the validity of the models used as the building blocks of the framework are investigated through related work. Second the method of integrating these building-block models is validated and strengthened by consensus of expert opinion. Third, the overall approach is validated by comparing its analyses to the results of previously carried out user studies. The validation process has shown both the value of the framework and identified areas of future work that should be addressed for the framework to be completed. This report concludes with the set of contributions that the framework makes, and why the remaining work will be challenging, but critical to the final design.
Experimental study of sliding friction and stick-slip on faults in floating ice sheets

The authors have undertaken double-direct-shear friction experiments with floating ice sheets. These tests have been done at the ice basins at HSVA, Hamburg and the Helsinki University of Technology (HUT). Floating ice blocks are pushed past each other, with slip displacement, stress and acoustic emissions monitored at the interfaces. The authors have therefore measured the effect of frictional sliding on simulated faults. Mostly the sliding took a stick-slip form. The velocity and shear stress are non-uniform in space as well as in time. Measurements of the same stick-slip cycle, at several positions along the fault, allow the authors to identify a nucleation zone, which begins to slip before the rest of the fault and to relate this spatial variation of velocity and the temporal variation of shear stress; the slipping region, therefore, behaves like a wave-packet, propagating away from the nucleation zone.
Predicting perceived off-center sound degradation in surround loudspeaker setups for various multichannel microphone techniques

Multiple listening tests were conducted to examine the influence of microphone techniques on the quality of sound reproduction. Generally, testing focuses on the central listening position (CLP), and neglects off-center listening positions. Exploratory tests focusing on the degradation in sound quality at off-center listening positions were presented at the 123rd AES Convention. Results showed that the recording technique does influence the degree of sound degradation at off-center positions. This paper focuses on the analysis of the binaural re-recording at the different listening positions in order to interpret the results of the previous listening tests. Multiple linear regression is used to create a predictive model which accounts for 85% of the variance in the behavioral data. The primary successful predictors were spectral and the secondary predictors were spatial in nature.

Study on Characteristics of Flow and Sediment for Xiaomiaohong Tide Inlet in Radial Sand Ridges

Based on the measured hydrological data and the established mathematical model of Xiaomiaohong channel, the current and sediment distribution characteristics are researched and analysed. Some conclusions are drawn as follows: (1) The maximum velocity and mean velocity of the measuring points in the groove were generally greater than those at points in the open waters; spring tide and neap tide strength difference is apparent, spring tide should play a major role in the beach evolution. (2) Suspended sediment concentration in the open sea is significantly lower than that in the tidal channel; the bottom sediment concentration is generally greater than surface, bottom surface sediment concentration is 1.12 ~ 1.66 times (3) Median particle diameter of suspension sediment is 0.005 ~ 0.017, mainly for fine silt and very fine sand.
THE EFFECT OF RADAR DRONE OPERATION ON SPEEDS AT HIGH CRASH RISK LOCATION

At highway construction/maintenance work zones and other locations where roadway alignment, road surface, and traffic flow conditions have contributed to high crash rates, crash risk may be reduced by lower and more uniform speeds. The use of unattended (drone) radar has been found to reduce the mean speed of vehicles and the number traveling at very high speeds; those drivers using radar detectors to warn them of police speed enforcement activities respond to the warning and slow down also slowing other nearby vehicles. In the present study, speeds were measured with and without radar drones in operation at 12 construction/maintenance work zones and high crash locations in Missouri. It was found that mean speeds were moderately lower when radar was operating, and this effect was slightly greater for tractor-trailers than for passenger vehicles, although not significantly so at most locations. However, moderate reductions in mean speed were associated with more meaningful reductions in the proportion of vehicles exceeding the speed limit by more than 10 mph, especially among tractor-trailers.

Loss of Labor Productivity due to Delivery Methods and Weather

This paper describes three structural steel erection projects that used different methods of delivering the structural steel members. Two projects scheduled daily deliveries. On one project, steel was erected directly from the truck. On the second project, steel was off-loaded, sorted, and then erected. On the third project, three bulk deliveries of steel were made. The steel was stored wherever space was available, and sorting was done as the steel was erected. The differences in labor productivity are quantified using the multiple regression technique. The analysis shows that the most efficient delivery method is to erect the steel directly from the truck. Double-handling, as was done on the second project, resulted in a loss of productivity of about 9%. Indiscriminate deliveries resulted in a loss of productivity of about 16%. The effects of weather are also quantified. Significant losses of productivity occurred because of snow (41%) and cold temperatures (32%).
