ANALYSIS OF LEADERSHIP STYLE BY USING THE MODEL OF HERSEY AND BLANCHARD

Introduction/Main Objectives: This research raises human resources management within the crediting bank, where employees require reliable and competent leadership. Leadership is categorized as the concept of empowering when the leader shares direction, a support system, friendly, synergizing, and providing exemplary examples to his subordinates.Background Problems: Through scientific ways, this study attempted to respond to the research questions, which are: 1) how is the maturity of employees in the Anugerah rural bank located in Purwosari, 2) what are the applications of leadership styles, duty behavior, and relationship behaviors at there, and 3) in which quadrant of leadership styles of the chief of operational, general, administrations, and marketing department? Novelty: The current study engaged four situational leadership in a model. Research Methods: The survey design administered the questionnaire, interviews, and observation to the target samples. The data, then analyzed using descriptive analysis and the range scale. Finding/Results: The operational and general divisions reflect their leadership styles in quadrant II representing a consultation or low task and relationship behavior. Besides, quadrant III, which implies a participating leadership style with high task and relationship behavior, has been practiced by the marketing department. The administrative division tends to use the leadership style from quadrant IV or delegating with high task behavior relationship. Conclusion: Leaders can select any leadership style, but they must remain aware of task and relationship behavior. This recent study has many limitations; hence, the future researcher can apply other leadership styles under different conditions.
Tailwater effects on the characteristics of a square jet near a free-surface

Characteristics of a square jet near a free surface were experimentally studied at four different tailwater depths. Velocity measurements were made with a two-component laser Doppler anemometer at five stations along the jet streamwise axis. A qualitative assessment was made of the location of jet impingement on the free surface. The results reveal that the tailwater depth has little influence on the mean velocity distribution beyond a certain depth. Turbulence intensities and shear stress profiles indicate jet anisotropy and higher spread rates than an axi-symmetric free jet. The analysis of third-order moments divulged a marked increase in the turbulent ejection and entrainment events for the jet as the tailwater depth increased and the effect of free surface confinement was reduced. A quadrant analysis confirmed that the confinement effect due to the proximity of the free surface acted to curtail the ability of the jet to eject or entrain fluid.
Significance of Intruder Detection Techniques in the Context of Industry 4.0

With the advent of Industry 4.0, many physical systems are transforming into cyber-physical systems (CPS). As these CPS are connected to the internet, have a lot of vulnerabilities. There is a need to protect them from cyber-attacks. This is true across domains. Many cyber-attacks are being reported in the literature. These cyber-attacks had devastating effects. The cyber-attacks not only result in an economic loss but also resulted in the loss of effort and inconvenience. Hence a complete understanding of the type of cyber-attacks and predicting the behavior of intruders is very much important for protecting CPS. Though many cyber-attacks are reported across multiple domains, the type of attacks is unique about each domain. This makes solving security problems even more difficult. What is also observed from the literature review is that the security infrastructure that is available today may not be secure for tomorrow. This clearly shows the complexity of solving the security problems-Intrusion detection system(IDS). Hence, an effort has been made in this work to consolidate different types of attacks reported across multiple domains. This is valuable not only for academicians but also for researchers and practitioners, as this paper contains not only the work reported so far but also provides future directions for promoting further research in the area of intruder detection.
Opportunities and Challenges in Developing COVID-19 Simulation Models: Lessons from Six Funded Projects

The COVID-19 pandemic showed us the importance of modeling and forecasting efforts to guide decision makers. However, a year into the COVID-19 pandemic, the computational science literature lacks a proper internal exploration of the modeling journey of researchers around the world, including how they responded to the shared challenges our community faced such as data limitations, model fitting and working with public stakeholders. The current paper is a detailed examination of the internal processes of six research teams, which were funded in several countries to model COVID-19. Each team was asked to reflect on the research question and how they solved their respective modeling challenges, as well as how, looking back, they would do things differently.
Microbial community changes in a full-scale wastewater treatment system with a rotating biological contactor integrated into anaerobic-anoxic-oxic-oxic processes

The objective of this study was to investigate the changes of microbial communities in different treatment units of a full-scale wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) equipped with a serially combined rotating biological contactor (RBC) and anaerobic-anoxic-oxic-oxic (A2/O2) processes. Highthroughput sequencing results showed that functional communities including Methylotenera, Nitrospiraceae, Terrimonas, Zoogloea, Lysobacter, and Rhodobacter were the most dominant communities in the treatment system. The sequencing results demonstrated that the microbial communities along the different treatment units showed distinct community profiles. Additionally, dominant functional communities with Methylotenera and Methanolobus were significantly enriched on RBC films compared to those in the activated sludge of the RBC treatment unit, indicating that the RBC plays essential functions in the WWTP. In general, thoroughly screening the microbial communities in WWTP equipped with RBC and A2/O2 and monitoring the changes over seasons contributed to maintain and adjust the wastewater treatment system in case of decayed treatment efficiencies. Besides, our work could guide us to rapidly set up a new similar WWTP.
Learning from COVID-19: Universal Design for Learning Implementation Prior to and During a Pandemic

This study examined whether higher education faculty knowingly and/or unknowingly applied UDL principles prior to and during the COVID-19 rapid online teaching and learning (ROTL) transition. Researchers collected data through a survey that was disseminated nationwide and completed by higher education faculty (n = 38). Findings included a shift in instruction modality where 50 percent of synchronous in person instruction moved to asynchronous online instruction or optional synchronous remote instruction. Additionally, there was an unsurprising, considerable increase in the use of technology to support student engagement with course content. Researchers identified themes in the barriers (e.g., time, resources, training) to applying UDL principles both prior to and during the COVID-19 ROTL transition. Suggestions for overcoming those barriers are also included.
Factors affecting the development of green banks in Vietnam

Article history: Received May 18 2020 Received in revised format May 26 2020 Accepted July 18 2020 Available online July 18 2020 Green banking encourages sustainable economic development and stimulates environmentally friendly activities. The objective of this study is to assess determinants of green banking adoption in Vietnam. Data of the study was collected through a survey of officials and employees at commercial banks in Vietnam. The results of correlation and regression analysis indicate that the influence of macro factors on the level of green banking is the strongest, followed by the bank's financial capacity, government's supportive policies and green investment needs of business organizations. Conversely, the capacity of officials and the bank leader awareness on green banking do not significantly affect the level of green banking adoption in Vietnam. © 2020 by the authors; licensee Growing Science, Canada
STUDIES ON ENTEROTOXIGENIC STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS IN MILK AND SOME DAIRY PRODUCTS

Staphylococcus aureus is one of the commonest aetiological agents of bacterial diseases. Food intoxication by S.aureus was listed as the third etiology of food intoxication all over the world. The current study was designed to record the prevalence of S. aureus in milk and some dairy products. A total of 200 samples consisting of (25 raw cow's milk, 25 raw buffalo's milk, 50 kareish cheese, 25 small scale ice-cream, 25 large scale ice-cream, 25 small scale yoghurt and 25 large scale yoghurt samples) were collected from dairy shops and street vendors in Beni-Suef Governorate, Egypt. The prevalence rate of S. aureus was 13 (52%), 16 (64%), 34 (68%), 20 (80%), 6 (24%), 22 (88%) and 9 (36%) with an average count of 1.62×10 8 ± 9.5×10 7 , 7.88×10 7 5.19×10 CFU/ml, 8.68×10 7 2.61×10 , 6.64×10 3.29×10 , 6.52×10 4.41×10 , 3.67× 10 1.68 × 10 and 5.27×10 3.45× 10 5 CFU/g in the concering samples, respectively. The molecular results confirmed that 30% of the examined S. aureus strains were enterotoxigenic by PCR technique as carried one or two SE-genes. High S. aureus counts in milk and milk products constitute a public health hazard to the consumers and emphasizes the need for improved hygienic standards.
Literature Review and Bibliometry: a Groundwork on Servitization

Typical manufacturing companies have been adding services to products to create new offers to strengthen the relationship with clients. This is a process named ‘servitization’. In this context, the present study aims at investigating the literature on servitization in typical manufacturing companies in recent years. Articles published in the past 10 years, retrieved from the Web of Science, Scopus, and ScienceDirect databases resulted in 50 publications for further analysis. A bibliometric analysis identified that the articles were authored by 145 authors and co-authors from 14 countries, published in 27 journals, and present a set of 414 keywords. A preliminary content analysis shows that the transition to servitization needs attention as the challenges and barriers for organizations to overcome. The literature also points out a growth of digital servitization, which is a subject for further exploration, since the use of technology for the development of new solutions may strengthen service offerings.
Exploring the Retirement Consumption Gap in Early Retirement

The research described in this paper estimates the pervasiveness of underconsumption. Specifically, this paper explores the retirement consumption gap and considers both the wealth available to fund retirement—defined as either financial assets, such as a taxable account or an IRA, or guaranteed income, such as Social Security retirement benefits, a private pension, or annuity—and spending (i.e., consumption), both before and after retirement. Considering both the assets and pre-retirement spending provides a richer context around spending decisions during retirement. The analysis uses data from the RAND Health and Retirement Study and focused specifically on changes in spending during the first 10 years of retirement. Contributors

1The University Sleep Disorders Center, Department of Medicine, College of Medicine, King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia; 2Department of Family and Community Medicine, College of Medicine, King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia Purpose: Long-term studies assessing positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy adherence in patients with obesity hypoventilation (OHS) are limited. The aim of this study was to assess PAP therapy adherence in Arab (Saudi) patients with OHS and an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) >30/h. Methods: A prospective cohort study of consecutive adult patients diagnosed with OHS between March 2010 and September 2019 was conducted. During the therapeutic sleep study, all OHS patients were started on continuous PAP (CPAP). Patients who failed to maintain oxygen saturation ≥88% despite the elimination of obstructive respiratory events were shifted to bi-level PAP (BPAP). Objective assessment of adherence was performed at 1, 6, and 12 months after initiating PAP therapy. We adopted the American-Thoracic-Society criteria for PAP adherence. Results: The study included 101 patients (women = 65 patients) with OHS, an AHI ≥30/h, and a mean age of 54.9 ± 12.7 years. Successful titration on CPAP was achieved in 64.4% of the patients and BPAP was required for 35.6% of the patients who failed CPAP titration. At the end of the study, 43.6% of the patients used PAP therapy in an acceptable manner. Adherence after 1 and 6 months was the only independent predictors of adherence at 12 months. Conclusion: PAP adherence among Saudi patients with OHS and severe obstructive sleep apnea was relatively low. Almost two-thirds of patients tolerated CPAP titration with the elimination of respiratory events and desaturation. Early adherence to PAP therapy was the only predictor of PAP therapy adherence at the end of the study.
Handbook of Macroeconomics

This chapter develops a toolkit of neoclassical macroeconomic models, and applies thesemodels to the US economy from 1929 to 2014. We first filter macroeconomic time series into business cycle and longrun components, and show that the long-run component is typically much larger than the business cycle component. We argue that this empirical feature is naturally addressed within neoclassical models with long-run changes in technologies and government policies. We construct two classes of models that we compare to raw data, and also to the filtered data: simple neoclassical models, which feature standard preferences and technologies, rational expectations, and a unique, Pareto optimal equilibrium, and extended neoclassical models, which build in government policies and market imperfections. We focus onmodels with multiple sources of technological change, andmodels with distortions arising from regulatory, labor, and fiscal policies. The models account for much of the relatively stable postwar US economy, and also for the Great Depression and World War II. The models presented in this chapter can be extended and applied more broadly to other settings. We close by identifying several avenues for future research in neoclassical macroeconomics.
Prediction of Recurrence Risk in Solid Pseudopapillary Neoplasm of the Pancreas: Single-Institution Experience

Background: Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN) of the pancreas is a low-grade malignant neoplasm with unpredictable behavior. Factors associated with recurrence were not conclusively identified. The aim of this study is to define the clinicopathological criteria for recurrence risk prediction in SPNs based on the most recent scientific evidence and to present our experience with SPNs. Methods: A retrospective review of patients with SPNs operated on in our institution from June 2012 to June 2018 was completed. Patient characteristics and clinical outcomes were analyzed. A detailed literature review was performed to evaluate the factors associated with the recurrence of SPNs. Results: The cohort consisted of 13 female patients with a median age of 24 years and a mean tumor size of 7.7 cm. Body and tail (53.8%) were the most common location, and distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy was the prevalent surgical procedure. One patient of SPN operated on for local recurrence after 11 years which had high-grade malignant histological features on the previously resected tumor. At a median follow-up of 42 months (range 36 to 108), all patients were disease free and alive. The proposed criteria for predicting recurrence in SPNs include tumor size >8 cm, synchronous metastasis, malignant SPN (according to 2000 or 2010 World Health Organization [WHO] criteria), lymphovascular invasion, pancreatic parenchymal invasion, and high Ki-67 index (>4%). All these are worse prognostic factors and should be considered as high-risk factors for postoperative relapse. Conclusion: The above-mentioned criteria can better predict SPN recurrence. Patients with high-risk features should undergo an extended follow-up.
ObjectFolder: A Dataset of Objects with Implicit Visual, Auditory, and Tactile Representations

Multisensory object-centric perception, reasoning, and interaction have been a key research topic in recent years. However, the progress in these directions is limited by the small set of objects available -- synthetic objects are not realistic enough and are mostly centered around geometry, while real object datasets such as YCB are often practically challenging and unstable to acquire due to international shipping, inventory, and financial cost. We present ObjectFolder, a dataset of 100 virtualized objects that addresses both challenges with two key innovations. First, ObjectFolder encodes the visual, auditory, and tactile sensory data for all objects, enabling a number of multisensory object recognition tasks, beyond existing datasets that focus purely on object geometry. Second, ObjectFolder employs a uniform, object-centric, and implicit representation for each object's visual textures, acoustic simulations, and tactile readings, making the dataset flexible to use and easy to share. We demonstrate the usefulness of our dataset as a testbed for multisensory perception and control by evaluating it on a variety of benchmark tasks, including instance recognition, cross-sensory retrieval, 3D reconstruction, and robotic grasping.
A COMPARATIVE STUDY BETWEEN 0.5% BUPIVACAINE AND 0.5% ROPIVACAINE IN SUPRACLAVICULAR BRACHIAL PLEXUS BLOCK

Introduction: Brachial plexus blocks are among the most commonly performed peripheral neural blocks for upper extremity surgeries in clinical practice. This study compared the effectiveness of 0.5% Bupivacaine and 0.5% Ropivacaine for brachial plexus block. Methods: For this prospective randomized double blind study we enrolled, after approval by institutional ethical committee and informed consent from patients, total 100 patients scheduled for upper limb surgeries under supraclavicular brachial plexus block. Patients were randomly divided into two groups. Group B received 30 ml of 0.5% bupivacaine while Group R received 30ml o.5% ropivacaine. Onset and duration of sensory and motor blockade, Intraoperative opioid requirement and adverse effects were noted. Result: The onset time of sensory block in group B was 840 ± 21.95 seconds while it was 780.6 ± 21.45 seconds in group R. Duration of sensory action in group B was 572.94 ± 7.29 min and in group R it was 563.22 ± 7.16 min. In case of motor action, onset was 1228.8 ± 30.34seconds in group B while it was 1245.6 ± 23.41seconds in group R while motor duration time was 529.56 ± 5.80 min and 427.12 ± 8.79 min in group B and group R respectively. Most of the patients in group R had good to excellent satisfaction as compared to bupivacaine. Conclusion: We can conclude that ropivacaine is better choice of local anaesthetic compared to bupivacaine, in equal dose and concentration, in terms of better analgesia and subsequently patient satisfaction when used for supraclavicular brachial plexus block.
The acceptance of social media video for knowledge acquisition, sharing and application: A com-parative study among YouTube users and TikTok Users’ for medical purposes

YouTube and TikTok have gained increasing recognition as social network sites to support online knowledge acquisition, sharing, and application via social media platforms in the medical field. This study examines which aspect of TikTok and YouTube stimulates doctors, nurses, and any other YouTube and TikTok in the medical setting, to rely on them as sources of knowledge acquisition and sharing to keep their medical repertoire updated. A hybrid model is designed to investigate users’ acceptance of YouTube and TikTok as social media platforms. The model focuses on four main external factors: content richness, innovativeness, satisfaction, and enjoyment. These factors are connected with two TAM constructs which are perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness. The results have shown that both YouTube and TikTok are affected by PEOU, PU, personal innovativeness, flow theory, and content richness. Both social media networks provide up-to-date sources described as useful, enjoyable, and relevant. Nevertheless, the comparative results have shown that YouTube has deeply influenced users’ medical perception and knowledge compared to TikTok. It is created for the very mere purpose of socialization and self-expression. In contrast, YouTube is used for educational and non-educational purposes due to the type of uploaded content and time management. Therefore, TikTok developers and influencers should initiate highly specialized videos and create content that raises awareness of medical field issues.
Narrative and gender as mutually constituted meaning-making systems

Abstract Both gender and narrative are foundational to the ways in which humans engage in meaning-making. Arguing from evolutionary, psychological and feminist theoretical perspectives, we posit that narratives and gender are culturally mediated mutually constituted meaning-making systems: Narratives are defined through gender and gender is defined through narrative. To contextualise this argument, we define ‘narrative’ and ‘gender’ and review the extant literature on how gender is expressed in culturally mediated master narratives and how narratives are performed differently by women and men. Our core argument is that the very act of narrating is a gendered activity that constructs, represents and narrates gender as a primary category of human existence, and these fundamentally gendered ways of narrating then construct, define and reify gendered ways of being in the world.
The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern is driven by acceleration of the evolutionary rate

The ongoing SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has seen an unprecedented amount of rapidly generated genome data. These data have revealed the emergence of lineages with mutations associated to transmissibility and antigenicity, known as variants of concern (VOCs). A striking aspect of VOCs is that many of them involve an unusually large number of defining mutations. Current phylogenetic estimates of the evolutionary rate of SARS-CoV-2 suggest that its genome accrues around 2 mutations per month. However, VOCs can have around 15 defining mutations and it is hypothesised that they emerged over the course of a few months, implying that they must have evolved faster for a period of time. We analysed genome sequence data from the GISAID database to assess whether the emergence of VOCs can be attributed to changes in the evolutionary rate of the virus and whether this pattern can be detected at a phylogenetic level using genome data. We fit a range of molecular clock models and assessed their statistical fit. Our analyses indicate that the emergence of VOCs is driven by an episodic increase in the evolutionary rate of around 4-fold the background phylogenetic rate estimate that may have lasted several weeks or months. These results underscore the importance of monitoring the molecular evolution of the virus as a means of understanding the circumstances under which VOCs may emerge.
