Is Leadership More Than “I Like My Boss”?*

For many of the current leadership theories, models, and approaches, the answer to the question posed in the title, “Is leadership more than ‘I like my boss’? ,” is “no,” as there appears to be a hierarchy of leadership concepts with Liking of the leader as the primary dimension or general factor foundation. There are then secondary dimensions or specific sub-factors of liking of Relationship Leadership and Task Leadership; and subsequently, tertiary dimensions or actual sub-sub-factors that comprise the numerous leadership views as well as their operationalizations (e.g., via surveys). There are, however, some leadership views that go beyond simply liking of the leader and liking of relationship leadership and task leadership. For these, which involve explicit levels of analysis formulations, often beyond the leader, or are multi-level in nature, the answer to the title question is “yes. ” We clarify and discuss these various “no” and “yes” leadership views and implications of our work for future research and personnel and human resources management practice.
Interaction of the Indian and Asian Plates Under the Pamir and Hindu‐Kush Regions: Insights From 3‐D Shear Wave Velocity and Anisotropic Structures

The Pamir‐Hindu‐Kush region is widely cited as a best place to study opposing continental subduction on Earth. Yet, subducting slab morphology of the Indian and Asian plates under this region remains elusive. Here we report new shear wave velocity and radial anisotropy models from Rayleigh and Love wave tomography to constrain the geometry of these two slabs. Together with previous tomographic studies, we show that the Indian slab exhibits along‐strike variation with subhorizontally underthrusting into the Pamir and high‐angle subduction under the Hindu‐Kush. We speculate that the Indian slab was probably detached and sank into the mantle transition zone under the Pamir, while break‐off process is ongoing under the Hindu‐Kush. The Asian lithospheric mantle and lower crust are inferred to be subducting southward into the North Pamir. Two opposing subducting slabs could have interacted under the Pamir, resulting in thickening crust, horizontally stretched midcrustal flow, and horizontal mantle flow. These dynamic processes could explain surface geologic observations and potentially constrain the causes of intermediate‐depth seismicity.
EFFECT OF GREEN LOGISTICS PRACTICES AND SOCIAL PERFORMANCE ON PERFORMANCE OF LOGISTICS FIRMS IN KENYA

Emissions from logistics industry are rising at a greater concern than any other industry and the trend is expected to continue such that by 2030 these levels will be 80% higher than present levels unless there is a change. Environmental concerns have become essential for organizations given the current context of globalization. Many firms aim at reducing cost and they need to strike a balance between economic, social and ecological factors for sustainability. Taking measures regarding environmental concerns in a socially responsible way is becoming an important part of the modern organization agenda. This study focused on establishing the effect of green logistics practices and social performance on the performance of logistics firms operating in Kenya. The study was guided by the philosophy of positivism research. The cross-sectional survey research design was employed. The population of interest consisted of all the 892 logistics firms in Kenya which were registered under Kenya International Freight and Warehousing Association (KIFWA) as at December 2018 (KIFWA, 2018) from which a sample size of 300 respondents was drawn. Primary data was collected using a structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed using covariance-based structural equation modelling (CB-SEM). The study established that there is a significant positive relationship between the implementation of green logistics practices and firm performance of logistics firms in Kenya. The mediating effect of social performance on the relationship between green logistics practices and firm performance was found to be positive and significant. It was recommended that logistics firms in Kenya should implement environmentally sound practices in all phases of their operations and the larger supply chain, beginning with practices like green packaging, fuel efficiency, optimization of routes, carbon emission measurement and reverse logistics.
The Impact of COVID-19 on Supply Chain Credit Risk

We examine how supply chain activity reflects into credit risk during different phases of the COVID-19 pandemic by focusing on CDS spreads and US-China supply chain links. We find considerable effects on credit risk propagation. CDS spreads for firms with China supply chain partners increase with supply chain disruptions during the economic shutdown period of the pandemic, and the spreads go down when the economic activity resumes with re-opening in China. The household demand channel is an important driver of this supply chain credit risk behavior. Supply chain activity resumption is not sufficient to decrease credit risk in sectors that cater to households when the local economy suffers from dampened household spending due to economic shutdowns. Having a more global customer base, on the other hand, mitigates the local household demand shock effects. While firm leverage and supply chain duration magnify supply chain driven credit risk during the pandemic, cash holdings, growth opportunities, investment-grade rating, and supply chain network centrality moderate such effects.
Enhancement Of Science Learning Outcomes Through Two Stay Two Stray Learning Model Assisted With Mind Mapping Media

The implementation of this research is based on the problems found at the time of observation, namely the difficulty of students learning, especially in science learning that has an impact on student learning outcomes and learning that is still teacher-centered that causes students to be passive. Based on these problems, this study aims to improve the learning outcomes of science students in grade V elementary school. This type of research is a quasi-experimental design with Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The research design used is the post-test only control group design. The population in this study amounted to 147 students consisting of four classes. The determination of the sample is done by random sampling in the form of a draw. The number of samples was 72 students, namely the experimental class totaling 36 students and the control class totaling 36 students. The students' natural science post-test data collection is done by using multiple-choice objective test methods. Then, the t-test formula was analyzed. From the results of the analysis, it was shown that t-count = 3,920 was obtained and compared with t-table at the 5% significance level and dk = 36 + 36-2 = 70 so that the price of t-table = 1.99444 was obtained. Based on these results, there are significant differences in science learning outcomes between the classes given the treatment of the TSTS learning model aided by the mind mapping method and the classes given the treatment of conventional learning models. The results of the calculations obtained the experimental class has a higher mean than the control class, which is 79.06>68.75. Based on this, the TSTS learning model is assisted by an effective mind mapping method to the science learning outcomes of fifth-grade students of elementary school.
Identification & Evaluation of DNA Ligase Inhibitors: Predicting the Binding of Small Molecules to the DNA Binding Domain by Molecular Modeling

The phosphodiester backbone of DNA is maintained by DNA ligases. In human cells, there are three genes that encode DNA ligase polypeptides with distinct but overlapping functions. A series of small molecule inhibitors of human DNA ligases were previously identified using a rational structure-based approach. Three of these inhibitors, L82, a DNA ligase I selective inhibitor, and L67, an inhibitor of DNA ligases I and III, and L189, an inhibitor of all three human DNA ligases, have related structures. Here I present and characterize L82-G17 a nextgeneration ligase I specific inhibitor. L82-G17 is a potent ligase I uncompetitive inhibitor that is shown to act both biochemically and in cell culture models. Furthermore, the binding site for L82 and L82-G17 has been identified via molecular modeling, and verified through mutagenesis.
Exterior girder rotation of skew and non-skew bridges during construction

In bridge design, bridge decks regularly overhang past the exterior girders in arrange to extend the width of the deck whereas constraining the specified number of girders. The overhanging part of the deck comes about in uneven eccentric loads to the exterior girders which are by and large most prominent. These eccentric loads are primarily a result of bridge construction operations as well as the weight of new concrete and other construction live loads. These unbalanced loads can lead to a differential edge deflection of overhang deck and a rotation of the exterior girders. The girder rotation or differential deck deflection can also affect local and global stability of the entire bridge. The objective of this study is to enhance the knowledge and understanding of external girder behavior due to unbalanced eccentric construction loads and to identify the critical factors affecting their rotation. In this article, field data obtained during the construction of two skewed (one with a small skew (3.8°) and the second with a severe skew (24°)) and one non-skewed steel girder bridges are described, and a detailed comparison is presented. The three bridges experienced maximum outward exterior girder rotation during construction which subsequently decreased following construction operations. The field results were used to validate and calibrate the finite element models. The numerical and field-monitored data showed good agreement and can be used to assist bridge designers and construction engineers to design appropriate systems to limit girder rotation during construction.
The hybrid governance of environmental transnational municipal networks: Lessons from 100 Resilient Cities

Transnational Municipal Networks (TMNs) are increasing in size, scope and number on the global arena. They reflect a tendency for city governments to coordinate environmental action through networked forms of governance. In this article, we argue that a new generation of TMNs has entered the global scene to help cities steer their efforts to handle environmental issues. In contrast to the characteristics of older TMNs as public, inclusive, and self-governed, new-generation TMNs are influenced by private actors, they are exclusive, and employ enforcement mechanisms to secure the fulfilment of network goals. To underline the diversity of TMNs and thus better understand urban networked governance, we present a case study of the 100 Resilient Cities initiative covering its conduct in 2013–2019. Looking at its actor composition and membership terms, we identify a hybrid nature different from the one described in earlier literature on European TMNs primarily. This subscription to a hybrid form of governance calls for a larger discussion on the implications of this shift in governance type and on the extent to which hybridisation implies a shift of power from the public to the private sphere.
Impact of psychological capital on employee engagement, job satisfaction and employee performance in the manufacturing sector in Zimbabwe

The Confederation of Zimbabwe Industries’ (CZI, 2018) manufacturing survey released in 2018 revealed that the resuscitation of manufacturing sector has become a big challenge and will preoccupy the Zimbabwean government into the near future. The growth of manufacturing output, which had reflected an upswing in 2017 as compared to 2016, appeared to trend downwards for most of the products, except for non-metallic mineral products. The year 2018 was generally characterised by declining growth rate of manufacturing sector. As indicated in the CZI report, only three subsectors (chemicals and petroleum products; drinks, tobacco and beverages; and non-metallic products) out of eight subsectors recorded higher growth rate in 2018 as compared to 2017. However, these three subsectors caused and leveraged the overall growth of manufacturing sector by about 12% in 2018. The investements made in 2018 caused the prevailing high growth rates in these three subsectors, that is foodstuffs, drinks, beverages and tobacco.
KNOWLEDGE, PRACTICE AND PERCEIVED BARRIER OF PRESSURE ULCER PREVENTION AMONG NURSES IN A PUBLIC HOSPITAL IN SELANGOR

Pressure Ulcers (PUs) are a significant health problem for hospitalized patients associated with the leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Each year, more than 2.5 million patients suffer from PUs, and about 60,000 people died due to complications of PUs globally. Although PUs brings devastating consequences, fortunately, it can be prevented. The prevention of PUs represents a marker of quality of care and safety of a health-care organization. PUs prevention indeed needs multidisciplinary collaboration management; however, nurses' role is more significant as they are the frontline in providing patient care. This study aimed to assess knowledge, practice, and perceived barriers of PUs prevention among nurses in a Public Hospital in Selangor. A descriptive and cross-sectional study was used to obtain the data. A purposive sample of 220 nurses had been recruited from ICU, CCU, medical, surgical, and orthopedic wards at Public Hospital in Selangor. Data were obtained from self-administered questionnaires. The result was analyzed using the IBM Statistical Packages for Social Science (SPSS) Window Version 23. This study revealed that the respondents had adequate knowledge (95.0%) and good practice (96.8%) of PUs prevention. Heavy workload and inadequate staff were mostly cited as the barrier of PUs prevention. In overall, the respondents' knowledge and practice were good; however, deficits in a particular area of knowledge and practice of PUs prevention still exist. The hospital and nursing department should organize continuous education programs and in-house training in related field to optimized nurses’ knowledge and practice regarding pressure ulcer prevention and management.
Responses of productivity and quality of sweet potato to phosphorus fertilizer rates and application methods of the humic acid

Two field experiments were conducted on Sweet potato ( Ipomoea batatas, L.) cv. Beaure Card at the Horticulture Research Farm of EI-Bramoon, EI-Dakahlia Governorate, during the two successive summer seasons of 2009 and 2010 to evaluate the effects of different rates of phosphorus (15, 30 and 45 kg P 2O5/fed) either single and/or in combination with application methods of humic acid (control, foliar spray, transplant treatment and soil application) on plant growth, yield and its components, as well as chemical constituents and storability of tuber roots. In general, results showed that the increasing of applied phosphorus rate from 15 kg P 205 up to 45 kg P 205/fed significantly increased main stem length, canopy dry weight plant leaf area, total chlorophyll and carotenoids as well as total and marketable yield, dry matter percentage of tuber root and tuber root weight and diameter, Moreover, Application phosphorus at 45 kg P 2O5/fed significantly increased N, P, K, carbohydrate and total sugars in tuber roots. This P-rate had the most interesting observation was the enhancing of storability and reduced decay percentage. On the other hand, application methods of humic acid had a significant effect on all studied characters in both seasons. Soil application method of humic acid had a significant increases in plant growth characters, photosynthetic pigments, total and marketable yield and tuber root quality. Besides, this application method significantly increased chemical composition of tuber roots and reduced the weight loss and decay percentages. The combined treatments of Prates and application method of humic acid were generally more effective on the most studied parameters than with single ones. The best results were obtained by application 30 kg P 2O5/fed with soil application method of humic acid. This treatment achieved increases in vegetative growth characters, total and marketable yield, average of tuber root weight and diameter as well as concentrations of N, P, K, carbohydrate and total sugars in tuber roots. In addition, this combine J treatment enhanced the tuberous roots storability and reduced decay% comparing with the other ones. Therefore, this treatment could be recommended for raising sweet potato yield and improving tuberous roots quality as well as reduced the need for chemical P-fertilizer by about 33.3%, thereby reducing costs and environment pollution under similar conditions to this work.
Qualitative properties of cookies enriched with berries pomace

In recent years, there has been a rising interest in functional food, especially when enriched with bioactive substances. Among many bioactive substances to be found in food – such as antioxidants, plant sterols, pro and prebiotics and vitamins – a crucial role is played by dietary fibre (Rodríguez et al., 2006). By-products can be described as the waste after the processing of fruitand vegetable-based products, and these remnants include peels, pips, skins, stems and cores (Brodowska, 2017). The food industry produces significant amounts of by-products, which become problematic in their disposal. Usually, these products are used in animal feeding (Leroy et al., 2007; Górecka et al., 2010; Angulo et al., 2012). However, research has shown that by-products can also have a high nutritional value (O’Shea et al., 2012).

INFLUENCE OF OPTIMISM ON WORK ENGAGEMENT OF MANAGERS IN STATE CORPORATIONS IN KENYA

The concepts of optimism and employee engagement as mechanisms to improving individual performance have been discussed in management literature. Although studies on optimism in the workplace are relatively limited, evidence certainly exists that links the concept to improvement in individual and workplace performance. This study sought to investigate the extent to which optimism influence work Engagement among middle level managers in State Corporations in Kenya. The study was informed by social learning theory. To achieve this, the study adopted a cross sectional quantitative survey design. The target population was the middle level managers in State Corporations in Kenya. A total of 389 middle level managers were sampled and self-administered questionnaires issued. The data collected was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics using SPSS computer software. Multiple regression model indicated that optimism predicts 0.036 (3.6%) of work engagement which was insignificant. Consequently, the predictor did not have a statistically significant effect on Work engagement. The coefficients show that the prediction of work engagement in relation to optimism was insignificant (β1= 0.013, p>.01). Thus optimism was not a significant predictor of work engagement, though methodological limitations may have impacted on this result. This study recommends government agencies in Kenya to assess and identify optimistic employees and also cultivate a working environment that promotes optimism. Executives would promote optimism by instituting measures and practices within its operating systems that create a work environment that assures the employees of their future. Managers ought to be faithful to its promises, particularly on matters touching employees. They should also be able to identify and nurture optimistic employees, by so doing they enhance the level of employee engagement and subsequent improvement of organizational performance.

It's What You Say and What You Buy: A Holistic Evaluation of the Corporate Credit Facilities

We evaluate the impact of the Federal Reserve corporate credit facilities (PMCCF and SMCCF). A third of the positive effect on prices and liquidity occurred on the announcement date. We document immediate pass through into primary markets, particularly for eligible issuers. Improvements continue as additional information is shared and purchases begin, with the impact of bond purchases larger than the impact of purchases of ETFs. Exploiting cross-sectional evidence, we see the greatest impact on investment grade bonds and in industries less affected by COVID, concluding that the improvement in corporate credit markets can be attributed both to announcement effects of Federal Reserve interventions on the economy and to the specific differential impact of the facilities on eligible issues.
Study of Adsorption-Desorption on Batik Industrial Dyes (Naphthol Blue Black) on Magnetite Modified Humic Acid (HA-Fe3O4)

The rapid development of the batik industry can pollute water resources and become an increasingly severe problem. This research studies the adsorption-desorption of naphthol blue-black (one of the dyes in batik liquid waste) by magnetite modified humic acid (HA-Fe 3 O 4 ). The adsorption isotherm was studied using the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models. Meanwhile, desorption agents used in this study were distilled water and hydrochloric acid. The results show that the adsorption isotherm followed the Langmuir adsorption model with a maximum adsorption capacity of 2.41 mmol/g. Desorption studies show that the desorption efficiency of naphthol blue-black on HA-Fe 3 O 4 is 0.058% and 5.86% in the desorption agent of distilled water and HCl (1 M)
