Influence of managers’ mindset on leadership behavior

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to focus on exploring the link between managers’ mindset (fixed vs growth) and their choice of leadership behaviors. Design/methodology/approach The sample was drawn from a proprietary database provided by a global organization that offers 360-degree online leadership surveys. Individuals in management positions provided an assessment of their mindset orientation as well as how often they engaged in various leadership behaviors. Findings Growth-minded managers consistently displayed more frequent use of leadership behaviors than did their fixed mindset counterparts; and this relationship was independent of demographic or organizational factors. Research limitations/implications The findings are consistent with previous mindset research but prominently extend those results to managers in corporate settings; and supports previous research regarding the limited influence of demographic and organizational factors on both mindset and leadership. Practical implications Managers’ mindsets influence how much they engage in various leadership behaviors, and improving leadership competencies is more likely to occur when managers hold a growth mindset that abilities can be developed through effort as compared to fixed mindset managers who believe that abilities are inherent and unchangeable. The mindset of managers is predictive of the behavioral choices they make about exercising leadership, and has practical significance since studies have shown that managers are generally more effective in direct relationship to how often they are seen as engaging in leadership. Originality/value This study extends the significance of mindset from the educational to the corporate environment, using a robust sample of managers, and finding that the relationship between mindset and leadership is independent of various demographic and organizational characteristics.

Reduced PABPN1 levels causes cytoskeleton disorganization and aberrant differentiation

The polyadenylation binding protein nucleus 1 (PABPN1), a multifactorial regulator of mRNA processing, regulates muscle wasting and atrophy. Previously, we elucidated the PABPN1-dependent proteome and found that levels of structural proteins, sarcomeric and cytoskeletal, were highly altered. We identified MURC, a plasma membrane-associated protein, to be affected by the cytoskeletal stability and suggest that MURC is a novel marker for impaired regeneration in muscles. We also studied the spatial organization of muscle structural proteins in 2D and 3D cell models with reduced PABPN1 levels (named here as shPAB). We show that dysregulation of cytoskeletal proteins in the shPab proteome is associated with a cytoskeleton lacking a polarized organization in muscle cells. We show that consequently, the cell mechanical features as well as myogenic differentiation are significantly reduced. We then show that restoring cytoskeletal stability, by actin overexpression in shPAB was beneficial for cell fusion and for the expression of sarcomeric proteins in shPAB models. We suggest that poor cytoskeleton mechanical features are caused by altered expression levels and contribute to aging-associated muscle wasting and atrophy.
Diversity and abundance of avian species of Loburo Forest (redemption camp), Ogun State, Nigeria

Impact of religious tourism on avian species composition and abundance of Loburo Forest (Redemption camp area), Ogun State Nigeria was assessed. Bird survey was conducted using both Line transect and Area search methods. A total of Eight (8) transect lines with lengths ranging from 1km to 1.5km were walked during the survey. The survey spanned three months May, June and July with 6 repeat visits. Data obtained were analysed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. PAST Software (version 16) was used to compute bird diversity indices while differences in birds mean number between the developed and undeveloped areas were analysed using T-test. A total of 876 individual birds from 63 species, 27 families and 11 Orders were recorded in the study area. The developed area had 46 species from 24 families while the undeveloped area had 20 species from 12 families. The family Pycnonotidae had the highest number of species both in the developed (6, 13.04%) and undeveloped (6, 10.34%) areas. Mean bird density of 17.01 ±2.51 was recorded (developed area had 19.52bird/km 2 while undeveloped area had 14.5 bird/km 2 ). Similarly bird diversity indices (Simpson, Shannon and Evenness) was higher in the developed area than the undeveloped area (0.94, 0.69; 3.15, 1.935; 0.51, 0.3462) respectively. It can be concluded that urbanization and deforestation as a result of religious tourism has changed bird species composition to favour generalist and open habitat birds. It is therefore suggested that there should be policy that will compel such tourism to set aside conservation areas and to encourage greenness of the environment. Keywords: Avian species, religious tourism, Loburo forest, urbanization, conservation area
The awareness of using fenugreek in the treatment of diabetes among the population group of Malaysia

The objective of the study was to determine the level of awareness and knowledge on fenugreek towards the treatment of diabetes among the general population in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. 80 respondents were randomly selected by quota sampling and the questionnaires were distributed with emphasis laid on the level of awareness and knowledge on fenugreek towards the treatment of diabetes among genders and races which has to be solved in 1 hour. Females (16.25%) were more aware of the use of fenugreek and were also knowledgeable compared to males (2.5%). Based on race, it was observed that Indians (10%) were more aware of its medicinal value compared to Chinese (3.75%) and last races were Malay and others forming 2.5% of the group. This study observed that most of the residents of Johor Bahru, Malaysia had adequate knowledge of diabetes but less awareness on the usage of fenugreek in the treatment of diabetes. Indian females had a better awareness and knowledge in using fenugreek in the treatment of diabetes.
Seasonal variations in the surface energy and CO2 flux over a high‐rise, high‐population, residential urban area in the East Asian monsoon region

Using the eddy covariance method, this study reports the one‐year turbulent fluxes of momentum, energy, and CO2, and their seasonal variations over a recently redeveloped high‐rise, high‐population, residential area in the metropolitan city of Seoul, Korea. The study area is affected by the Asian monsoon, which is accompanied by long rain spells and a related mid‐season depression of solar radiation in the summer. Our analysis shows that the urban surface energy balance and turbulence characteristics demonstrate typical urban properties. Unstable conditions dominate all day, and the storage heat flux (night‐time and morning) and sensible heat flux (afternoon) significantly affect the diurnal variations in the urban surface energy balance. Owing to the rough urban surface, the turbulence intensities are higher than those reported previously in other cities. The annual CO2 emission rate is approximately 13.1 kg CO2 m−2⋅year−1 with traffic, which is the major source of CO2 (+2.3 μmol⋅m−2⋅s−1 per 100 vehicles). Ecosystem respiration, including that by vegetation, soil, and humans, becomes dominant in the night‐time (00:00–05:00), thus contributing significantly to the annual CO2 budget. Further analysis indicates a unique coupling of urban surface energy partitioning and CO2 emission rates with the seasonal progression of the Asian monsoon: (a) surface albedo has annual minima in late summer when the sun elevation angle, is relatively higher and the urban surface condition is wetter than in other seasons; (b) the Bowen ratio ranges from 1.7 (summer) to 7.0 (winter); and (c) CO2 emission rates show seasonal variations with the progress of the summer monsoon.
X-Ray Bone Fracture Classification Using Deep Learning: A Baseline for Designing a Reliable Approach

In recent years, bone fracture detection and classification has been a widely discussed topic and many researchers have proposed different methods to tackle this problem. Despite this, a universal approach able to classify all the fractures in the human body has not yet been defined. We aim to analyze and evaluate a selection of papers, chosen according to their representative approach, where the authors applied different deep learning techniques to classify bone fractures, in order to select the strengths of each of them and try to delineate a generalized strategy. Each study is summarized and evaluated using a radar graph with six values: area under the curve (AUC), test accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, dataset size and labelling reliability. Plus, we defined the key points which should be taken into account when trying to accomplish this purpose and we compared each study with our baseline. In recent years, deep learning and, in particular, the convolution neural network (CNN), has achieved results comparable to those of humans in bone fracture classification. Adopting a correct generalization, we are reasonably sure that a computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system, correctly designed to assist doctors, would save a considerable amount of time and would limit the number of wrong diagnoses.
Scalable phylogenetic profiling using MinHash uncovers likely eukaryotic sexual reproduction genes

Phylogenetic profiling is a computational method to predict genes involved in the same biological process by identifying protein families which tend to be jointly lost or retained across the tree of life. Phylogenetic profiling has customarily been more widely used with prokaryotes than eukaryotes, because the method is thought to require many diverse genomes. There are now many eukaryotic genomes available, but these are considerably larger, and typical phylogenetic profiling methods require quadratic time or worse in the number of genes. We introduce a fast, scalable phylogenetic profiling approach entitled HogProf, which leverages hierarchical orthologous groups for the construction of large profiles and locality-sensitive hashing for efficient retrieval of similar profiles. We show that the approach outperforms Enhanced Phylogenetic Tree, a phylogeny-based method, and use the tool to reconstruct networks and query for interactors of the kinetochore complex as well as conserved proteins involved in sexual reproduction: Hap2, Spo11 and Gex1. HogProf enables large-scale phylogenetic profiling across the three domains of life, and will be useful to predict biological pathways among the hundreds of thousands of eukaryotic species that will become available in the coming few years.

Dynamical determinants of different spine movements and gait speeds in rotary and transverse gallops

Quadruped gallop is categorized into two types: rotary and transverse. While the rotary gallop involves two types of flight with different spine movements, the transverse gallop involves only one type of flight. The rotary gallop can achieve faster locomotion than the transverse gallop. To clarify these mechanisms from a dynamic viewpoint, we developed a simple model and derived periodic solutions by focusing on cheetahs and horses. The solutions gave a criterion to determine the flight type: while the ground reaction force does not change the direction of the spine movement for the rotary gallop, it changes for the transverse gallop, which was verified with the help of animal data. Furthermore, the criterion provided the mechanism by which the rotary gallop achieves higher-speed than the transverse gallop based on the flight duration. These findings improve our understanding of the mechanisms underlying different gaits that animals use.
Employees’ perceptions of corporate social responsibility and ethical leadership: are they uniquely related to turnover intention?

Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the simultaneous effect of ethical leadership (EL) and corporate social responsibility (CSR) on employees’ turnover intention and examine the mediating mechanism in these relationships. Design/methodology/approach The authors conducted a field study of 851 employees across a variety of industries. This study applied partial least squares structural equation modelling for hypothesis testing. Findings The results show that employees’ perceptions of CSR as well as EL are both uniquely and negatively related to turnover intention. The authors also found that employees’ job satisfaction but not commitment, mediates these relationships. Research limitations/implications This study answers the recent call (Schminke and Sheridan, 2017) for ethics researchers to put competing explanations to the test to determine their relative importance. Research limitations have been discussed in the paper. Social implications Through providing empirical support for the positive impact of CSR and EL on employee-related outcomes and creating a decent and empowering work environment, this study provides further support for CSR and EL. As CSR and EL require accountability, responsible management and addressing societal well-being of stakeholders, this study can contribute to the United Nations sustainable development goals. Originality/value Previous research has found that both employees’ perceptions of supervisory EL and CSR are negatively related to employees’ turnover intentions. Yet, researchers know little about their relative importance because these relationships have not been adequately examined simultaneously.
Stress and work motivation of primary and secondary school teachers

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the levels of stress and work motivation of primary and secondary school teachers, investigate factors affecting stress of teachers and validate the consistency of the model and empirical data. Design/methodology/approach The sample consisted of 400 teachers of primary and secondary schools. Questionnaire was implemented as the instrument and the data were analyzed by t-test, ANOVA and confirmatory factor analysis. Findings The results indicated that teachers of secondary schools have higher overall stress than teachers of primary schools for many reasons, such as financial issues and work obligations. Stress was found to be significantly positively associated with work motivation in secondary school teachers. The study revealed that demographic and work motivation factors influence teacher stress. The validation of a goodness of fitted model demonstrated an acceptable model fit with empirical data (χ2 test/df = 1.913, GFI = 0.934, CFI = 0.965, NFI = 0.930, AGFI = 0.893). Originality/value Teachers under stress could negatively influence their students’ academic performance and might be more vulnerable to occupational diseases. Therefore, the teachers should find favorite activities that reduce stress and thereby contribute to effective teaching. This study would be beneficial for anyone who works to support teachers and wants to reduce turnover among teachers.
Functional outcome of diaphyseal humerus fractures treated with LC- DCP and intramedullary nail - a comparative study

Background: Diaphyseal humerus fractures are not uncommon in orthopedics; accounting for approximately 3% of all fractures and represent 20% of all humeral fracture s. Most of the humeral shaft fractures are best tre ated non-operatively with fairly high union rates. With recent advances, encouraging results following internal fixation ha d led to the expansion of surgical indications. But again the ri ght procedure and implant of choice, remains contro versial. Usual surgical modalities include compression plating (DC P) and intramedullary nailing (IMN). Literature review states that previous studies comparing these two implants have came out with varying results. Objective: The objective of this study is to compare the functional outcome of adult diaphyseal humerus fractures treated by limited co ntact dynamic compression plating and intramedullary interlocked nailing. Materials and Methods: We prospectively randomised twenty eight patients with closed diaphyseal humeru s fractures presented to our hospital, over a perio d of two years and operated with either limited contact dynamic compre ssion plate (LC-DCP) or Intramedullary interlocked nail (IMIL). A minimum of six months follow-up period was completed only by twenty four patients with twelve in each group. Functional scoring was done based on the Rodriguez-Merchan criteria at 4, 8, 12 and 24 weeks for all t he patients. Results & Conclusion: Our findings showed subtle differences favouring th e nailing group, yet statistically it turned out to be insignificant. We conclude that none of the i mplant is superior to other, in terms of fracture u nion and functional outcome. Hence the implant choice should be at the discretion of the operating surgeon.

The Government of India by National Health Policy 2017 of has set the target of relative reduction in prevalence of current tobacco use by 15% and 30% % by 2020 and 2025 respectively. Global adult tobacco Survey (GATS)2 shows a relative reduction of 17% in prevalence of current tobacco use since GATS-1. The prevalence of tobacco use has reduced by 6%. About 27.6% of adult aged 15 and above (26.7 crore) use tobacco in any form. 19.9 crore in rural area and 6.8 crore adults in urban area use tobacco. The prevalence of tobacco use among young (15-24 years) has reduced from 18.4% to 12.4% in GATS-1 to GATS-2 respectively which is 33% relative reduction. The prevalence of tobacco use among minor aged 15-17 and adolescent aged 18-24 has a relative reduction of 54% and 28% respectively.
Marine X‐Band Radar Currents and Bathymetry: An Argument for a Wave Number‐Dependent Retrieval Method

This study evaluates shipboard marine X-band radar (MR) near-surface current and bathymetry measurements under shallow water conditions. The retrieval algorithm is based on the surface wave signal within three-dimensional wave number frequency MR backscatter intensity variance spectra. The MR data were collected during a research cruise that investigated submesoscale processes and their impact on oil spill transport in the Louisiana Bight. The MR currents and bathymetry are validated using measurements from 500 GPS-equipped surface drifters, a shipboard acoustic Doppler current profiler, and a shipboard single-beam echo sounder. Earlier results from the same experiment but using a different set of sensors indicate strong upper ocean vertical current shear over a 3.5 hr period, despite only mild wind forcing. Here, the MR currents are derived as a function of wave number, providing a measure of vertical shear for the full duration of the cruise. Strong vertical shear is frequently observed, with a maximum difference of 0.42 m/s between the MR high (effective depth of ∼0.9 m) and low (∼2.4 m) wave number bins. Treating the drifter and echo sounder measurements as truth, the accuracies of the MR near-surface currents and bathymetry are 0.04–0.07 m/s and 1.2 m (or 7% of the mean water depth). However, it is shown that ∼50% of the MR high wave number and drifter current differences is due to vertical shear. The shallow water MR near-surface current accuracy thus matches findings from a previous deep water validation where vertical shear was much weaker.
