The Effect of Organizational Citizenship Behavior and Morale Work on Productivity of Female Workers

Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) and employee morale are factors that can affect work productivity. This study aims to examine empirically the role of OCB and work morale on work productivity at University X in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The research subjects were female employees at University X who were permanent employees and had worked for at least one year. The sampling technique is done with randomization, with a simple random sampling technique. Methods of collecting data is conducted using the scale of work productivity, OCB scale, and work morale scale. Meanwhile, the analysis of research data is performed with multiple linear regression techniques. The results of simultaneous data analysis showed that OCB and work morale had an influence on work productivity on employees, while data analysis partially showed that there was no influence between OCB and employee work productivity and there was a significant effect between work morale and employee productivity at University X. OCB variable contribution and work morale amounted to 16.6% and the remaining 83.4% was influenced by other factors outside the variables studied. Keywords— OCB, work morale, work productivity.
Dundee Discussion Papers in Economics Unionisation , International Integration and Selection

We study how unionisation a¤ects competitive selection between heterogeneous rms when wage negotiations can occur at the rm or at the pro t-centre level. With productivity speci c wages, an increase in union power has: (i) a selection-softening; (ii) a counter-competitive; (iii) a wage-inequality; and (iv) a variety e¤ect. In a two-country asymmetric setting, stronger unions soften competition for domestic rms and toughen it for exporters. With pro t-centre bargaining, we show how trade liberalisation can a¤ect wage inequality among identical workers both across rms (via its e¤ects on competitive selection) and within rms (via wage discrimination across destination markets).

Flexible Fiberoptic Bronchoscopy in the Critically Ill Patient

Flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FFB) was used in a high risk group of patients treated in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of Presbyterian University Hospital in Pittsburgh. Regional atelectasis on the basis of retained secretions regressed in 78% of trials following FFB and many valuable diagnoses of airway pathology were obtained. The bronchofiberscope inserted transnasally without previous intubation did not significantly interfere with intratracheal pressure changes and alveolar ventilation during spontaneous breathing. However, the instrument caused high positive end expiratory pressures (PEEP) when inserted through tracheal tubes of 7.5 mm internal diameter (I.D.) or less in patients on volume controlled ventilation. This effect could be pronounced enough to cause mediastinal emphysema and probably tension pneumothorax. Suction applied through the channel of the bronchofiberscope caused decreased oxygenation both in patients who maintained spontaneous ventilation and in those maintained on volume controlled ventilation during FFB. Adequate airway, 100% oxygen ventilation during the procedure, and good patient cooperation or relaxation was important for diminishing the risk of potential complications.
The Complexity of Dynamic Data Race Prediction

Writing concurrent programs is notoriously hard due to scheduling non-determinism. The most common concurrency bugs are data races, which are accesses to a shared resource that can be executed concurrently. Dynamic data-race prediction is the most standard technique for detecting data races: given an observed, data-race-free trace t, the task is to determine whether t can be reordered to a trace t* that exposes a data-race. Although the problem has received significant practical attention for over three decades, its complexity has remained elusive. In this work, we address this lacuna, identifying sources of intractability and conditions under which the problem is efficiently solvable. Given a trace t of size n over k threads, our main results are as follows. First, we establish a general O(k · n2·(k-1) upper-bound, as well as an O(nk) upper-bound when certain parameters of t are constant. In addition, we show that the problem is NP-hard and even W[1]-hard parameterized by k, and thus unlikely to be fixed-parameter tractable. Second, we study the problem over acyclic communication topologies, such as server-clients hierarchies. We establish an O(k2 · d · n2 · log n) upper-bound, where d is the number of shared variables accessed in t. In addition, we show that even for traces with k = 2 threads, the problem has no O(n2-ϵ) algorithm under the Orthogonal Vectors conjecture. Since any trace with 2 threads defines an acyclic topology, our upper-bound for this case is optimal up to polynomial improvements for up to moderate values of k and d. Finally, motivated by existing heuristics, we study a distance-bounded version of the problem, where the task is to expose a data race by a witness trace that is similar to t. We develop an algorithm that works in O(n) time when certain parameters of t are constant.
Multinationals, Monopsony, and Local Development: Evidence from the United Fruit Company

This paper studies the short- and long-run eects of large rms on economic development. We use evidence from one of the largest multinationals of the 20th Century: The United Fruit Company (UFCo). The rm was given a large land concession in Costa Rica ---one of the so-called "Banana Republics"--- from 1899 to 1984. Using administrative census data with census-block geo-references from 1973 to 2011, we implement a geographic regression discontinuity (RD) design that exploits a quasi-random assignment of land. We nd that the rm had a positive and persistent eect on living standards. Regions within the UFCo were 29% less likely to be poor than nearby counterfactual locations in 1973, with only 56% of the gap closing over the following four decades. Company documents explain that a key concern at the time was to attract and maintain a sizable workforce, which induced the rm to invest heavily in local amenities that likely account for our result. We then build a dynamic spatial model in which a rm's labor market power within a region depends on how mobile workers are across locations and run counterfactual exercises. The model is consistent with observable spatial frictions and the RD estimates, and shows that the firm increased aggregate welfare by 2.9%. This eect is increasing in worker mobility: If workers were half as mobile, the rm would have decreased aggregate welfare by 6%. The model also shows that a local monopsonist compensates workers mostly through local amenities keeping wages low, and leads to higher welfare levels than a counterfactual with perfectly competitive labor markets in all regions, if we assume amenities increase local productivity.
AN ANALYTIC STUDY ON NORMOGRAM OF BIRTH WEIGHT AND PERIOD OF GESTATION IN PREGNANCY

OBJECTIVE: This study aims at determining the normogramme of birth weight for preterm, full term, post term births and also for SGA, AGA, LGA domain. The objective is to identify the group of infants who need intensive neonatal care. METHODS: Retrospective analytic study was conducted on 2,627 new born which are screened by birth weight and their gestational age Other variables like sex & NICU admission for different AGA, SGA, LGA domain were also analyzed. RESULTS: Study includes 68 % full term, 28% preterm and 4% post mature newborn. Infant category AGA were 57%, SGA 40% and LGA 2%. SGA domain infant maximum was 54% and 59%in full term &post term respectively. However for preterm infants AGA domain was maximum of 61%. NICU admission of LGA and SGA domain was 30-31 % and only 25% for AGA infants which was significant. CONCLUSION: 44% of preterm infants, 30% of SGA & LGA need critical observation at
Blame, not ability, impacts moral â€œoughtâ€• judgments for impossible actions: Toward an empirical refutation of â€œoughtâ€• implies â€œcanâ€•

Recently, psychologists have explored moral concepts including obligation, blame, and ability. While little empirical work has studied the relationships among these concepts, philosophers have widely assumed such a relationship in the principle that ‘‘ought” implies ‘‘can,” which states that if someone ought to do something, then they must be able to do it. The cognitive underpinnings of these concepts are tested in the three experiments reported here. In Experiment 1, most participants judge that an agent ought to keep a promise that he is unable to keep, but only when he is to blame for the inability. Experiment 2 shows that such ‘‘ought” judgments correlate with judgments of blame, rather than with judgments of the agent’s ability. Experiment 3 replicates these findings for moral ‘‘ought” judgments and finds that they do not hold for nonmoral ‘‘ought” judgments, such as what someone ought to do to fulfill their desires. These results together show that folk moral judgments do not conform to a widely assumed philosophical principle that ‘‘ought” implies ‘‘can. ” Instead, judgments of blame play a modulatory role in some judgments of obligation. 2016 Elsevier B.V.

The objective of this work is to measure particle size distribution of an atmospheric aerosol using scanning mobility particle sizer (SMPS) that takes aerosol samples at Košetice Observatory. The measured data are sent in near real time (NRT) to our institute for further processing and for providing the results to a central database. Data available centrally can serve theoreticians to develop and test regional and global meteorological and climatic models. Data provided in near real time can be used for improving the quality of weather nowcasting and for risk assessment when unusual events such as volcanic eruptions or spills of harmful substances from industrial plants occur. Calculation and online presentation of charts on the web enable us early detection of unusual phenomena as well as diagnostics of instrument faults that helps to speed-up service and thence to reduce instrument downtime.
On the principal eigenvector of a graph

The principal ratio of a connected graph $G$, $\gamma(G)$, is the ratio between the largest and smallest coordinates of the principal eigenvector of the adjacency matrix of $G$. Over all connected graphs on $n$ vertices, $\gamma(G)$ ranges from $1$ to $n^{cn}$. Moreover, $\gamma(G)=1$ if and only if $G$ is regular. This indicates that $\gamma(G)$ can be viewed as an irregularity measure of $G$, as first suggested by Tait and Tobin (El. J. Lin. Alg. 2018). We are interested in how stable this measure is. In particular, we ask how $\gamma$ changes when there is a small modification to a regular graph $G$. We show that this ratio is polynomially bounded if we remove an edge belonging to a cycle of bounded length in $G$, while the ratio can jump from $1$ to exponential if we join a pair of vertices at distance $2$. We study the connection between the spectral gap of a regular graph and the stability of its principal ratio. A naive bound shows that given a constant multiplicative spectral gap and bounded degree, the ratio remains polynomially bounded if we add or delete an edge. Using results from matrix perturbation theory, we show that given an additive spectral gap greater than $(2+\epsilon)\sqrt{n}$, the ratio stays bounded after adding or deleting an edge.
The Efficacy of Doppler Indices in Third Trimester of IUGR Pregnancies

Objective: To identify the usefulness of Doppler indices in the third trimester for intra-uterine growth- restricted pregnancies. Materials and Methods: It was an observational case-control study of singletons with intra-uterine growth restriction (fetal weight <10th percentile). Intra-uterine growth restricted fetuses (cases) and normal (controls) were examined for the umbilical artery. Time intervals between progressive Doppler abnormalities and configurations of worsening were related to umbilical artery Doppler status and gestational age. This study was conducted from August 2015 to January 2016 at Gilani Ultrasound Center Lahore Pakistan. A total of 60 pregnant females were studied with normal and abnormal umbilical artery Doppler ultrasound. Results: Doppler indices measurements of umbilical artery in intra-uterine growth restriction fetuses in the third trimester showed higher values as compared to normal fetuses. 30 females had normal umbilical artery Doppler indices and waveforms and 30 females showed (either thinning, absent or reversed Diastolic flow Doppler waveform) with higher indices. Conclusion: Fetal umbilical artery Doppler ultrasound is an effective tool in the detection of early intra-uterine growth restriction fetuses.
Trade Barriers and Firms’ Sales Hierarchy: Evidence from Firms’ Access to External Finance

We study the effects of access to external finance for firms to overcome sunk costs arising from domestic and international trade barriers, and examine how access to finance helps firms advance their sales hierarchy both domestically and internationally. We use a World Bank Survey of 12,372 firms operating in China in 2004 to inform the study. Based on firms’ sales destinations both domestically and internationally, we categorize firms in four exclusive types as Provincial Firms, Domestic Firms, Pure Exporters and All Sellers, and analyze how access to external finance affects firms’ decision to choose to be a particular firm type. We find that access to financial loans significantly raises firms’ odds to overcome trade barriers to become Domestic Firms or All Sellers; and the magnitudes of domestic trade barriers are as much a hurdle for firms as international trade barriers. The effects of external finance to overcome trade barriers vary across firm ownership types of being SOEs, foreign owned and privately/collectively owned; and are indicative of the loans’ perceived importance. Further, we find that access to external finance significantly increases the odds more for firms to sell in other provincial markets if they felt/experienced local protection than those which didn’t.
Does Export Diversification Lower Growth Volatility? An Empirical Analysis

This paper, following the recent literature, discussing about the theoretical connections, and applying an empirical analysis, studies the relationship between export diversification and growth volatility. Using several export diversification indices, a large number of countries, various control variables and dynamic panel data methodology, the empirical model present strong evidence on the effects of diversification on volatility. The results show that countries with a diversified export basket experience lower growth volatility. Among diversification indices, intensive margin (more balanced basket of exports) is found to have a stronger negative impact on volatility, rather than extensive margin (number of firms exporting).

RDEB patients demonstrate reduction or structural alteration type VII collagen (C7) owing to mutations in the gene COL7A1, the main component of anchoring fibrils (AF) necessary to maintain epidermal-dermal cohesion. While over 700 alterations in COL7A1 have been reported to cause dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (DEB), which may be inherited in an autosomal dominant (DDEB) or autosomal recessive pattern (RDEB), the incidence and prevalence of RDEB is not well defined. To date, the widely estimated incidence (0.2–6.65 per million births) and prevalence (3.5–20.4 per million people) of RDEB has been primarily characterized by limited analyses of clinical databases or registries. Methods: Using a genetic modelling approach, we use whole exome and genome sequencing data to estimate the allele frequency of pathogenic variants. Through the ClinVar and NCBI database of human genome variants and phenotypes, DEB Register, and analyzing premature COL7A1 termination variants we built a model to predict the pathogenicity of previously unclassified variants. We applied the model to publicly available sequences from the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC) and Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD) and identified variants which were classified as pathogenic for RDEB from which we estimate disease incidence and prevalence. Results: Genetic modelling applied to the whole exome and genome sequencing data resulted in the identification of predicted RDEB pathogenic alleles, from which our estimate of the incidence of RDEB is 95 per million live births, 30 times the 3.05 per million live birth incidence estimated by the National Epidermolysis Bullosa Registry (NEBR). Using a simulation approach, we estimate a mean of approximately 3,850 patients in the US who may benefit from COL7A1-mediated treatments in the US. Conclusion: We conclude that genetic allele frequency estimation may enhance the underdiagnosis of rare genetic diseases generally, and RDEB specifically, which may improve incidence and prevalence estimates of patients who may benefit from treatment.
Combined use of Polymerase Chain Reaction, Interferon- γ and soluble IL-2 Receptor for Differential Diagnosis of Tuberculous Pleural Effusion

Background and Objectives: Rapid and early differential diagnosis between tuberculous and nontuberculous pleural effusion (TPE & NTPE) is a critically important clinical problem. The paucibacillary nature of TPE and inefficiency of conventional biochemical and microbiological investigations challenge the application of more comprehensive markers. In this study we evaluated the relevance of applying polymerase chain reaction (PCR), for detection of Mycobacteria TuberculosisDNA (TB-DNA), in association with interferon gamma (IFN-γ) and soluble IL-2 receptor (sIL-2R) levels in pleural fluid for differential diagnosis of TPE. Patients and Methods: Study population included 60 patients with pleural effusion (PE); 40 patients with TPE (7 patients with confirmed tuberculosis (TB) and 33 patients with probable TB), and 20 patients with non-tubrculous, non-infectious pleural effusion (NTPE) (10 cases due to malignancy and 10 cases due to heart failure). PE samples were assessed for: biochemical markers (total protein and glucose), lymphocytic count, presence of acid fast bacilli in Ziehl-Neelsen (Z.N.) stained direct smears and by culture on Löwenstein Jensen (L.J.) medium), TB-DNA using conventional PCR, as well as levels of IFN-γ and sIL-2R using commercial ELISA kits. Results: Biochemical markers, in particular total protein level, confirmed the exudative nature of TPE and malignant PE. The percentage of lymphocytes in PE was significantly higher in patients with confirmed TB (>80%) than all patients in other studied groups. All patients with confirmed TB were positive for TB-DNA PCR and had IFN-γ and sIL-2R levels more than calculated cut off points. However, probable TB group showed a wide range of variability. None of patients with malignant PE but three of heart failure patients were positive for TB-DNA PCR. All patients with NTPE had IFN-γ level less than cut off point. On the other hand, all patients with heart failure but 50% of patients with malignancy had sIL-2R level less than cut off point. Conclusion: Clinical data together with simultaneous detection of TB-DNA by PCR and measurement of IFN-γ and sIL-2R levels as well as lymphocytosis (>80 %) in PE could provide the basis for rapid and efficient diagnosis of pleural TB in different clinical settings.
