Job satisfaction and organizational commitment under Traditional and Modern T&D program: Evidence from Public Banking Sector of Pakistan

This article investigates the impact of traditional and modern training programs on the overall performance and commitment to employees in public banking sector of Pakistan. Additionally, the study examines the relationship between antecedents of organizational commitment and job satisfaction. Bank of Khyber, First Women Bank, National Bank of Pakistan, Sindh Bank, and The Bank of Punjab are currently operating public banks in Pakistan. Thus, all five considered in this study using strata sampling technique. Total 26 Branch Managers participated in interviews whereas 292 completed survey questionnaire. Results showed modern T&D methods preferred by contractual employees whereas permanent employees prefer traditional methods of training and development. Moreover, T&D significantly affect the continuance commitment (CC) of female employees whereas salary increment enhances males' normative commitment (NC) and affective commitment (AC). Additionally, both modern and traditional T&D methods improve job satisfaction. AC and NC are relatively higher in public bank employees in comparison to CC, resulting from training and development program.
1 Des ription Logi s with Con rete Domains | A Survey

abstra t. Des ription logi s (DLs) are a family of logi al formalisms that have initially been designed for the representation of on eptual knowledge in arti ial intelligen e and are losely related to modal logi s. In the last two de ades, DLs have been su essfully applied in a wide range of interesting appli ation areas. In most of these appli ations, it is important to equip DLs with expressive means that allow to des ribe \ on rete qualities" of real-world obje ts su h as their weight, temperature, and spatial extension. The standard approa h is to augment des ription logi s with soalled on rete domains, whi h onsist of a set (say, the rational numbers), and a set of n-ary predi ates with a xed extension over this set. The \interfa e" between the DL and the on rete domain is then provided by a new logi al onstru tor that has, to the best of our knowledge, no ounterpart in modal logi s. In this paper, we give an overview over des ription logi s with on rete domains and summarize de idability and omplexity results from the literature.
An Investigation into the Effects of the Contemporary Crisis of Masculinity on the Advertising of Selected Beer and Cider Brands in South Africa via Semiotic Analyses

Beer and cider brands are relentless in their portrayal of the hegemonic masculinity pervasive in South African society. Existing research extensively looks at the relationship between beer and masculinity. The author of this paper investigates the impact of the media on societal gender norms and the role of the media in the construction of identity. Within the context of South African contemporary advertising, beer is continually equated to hegemonic masculinity in every form, in every place, in every way. The crisis of masculinity has created a space for men to step outside of the boundaries of the hegemonic masculinity promoted throughout South African society. What this means is that there has been an increase in a variety of male audiences and advertises have had to take this into account. This paper looks at how the contemporary crisis of masculinity affects the advertising of beer and cider brands in South Africa. This is done through research into the history of masculinity (and femininity) in South Africa in order to fully understand the origins of the current hegemonic masculine society. This research will be conducted through semiotic analyses of advertisements from Savannah Dry, Black Label, Windhoek Lager, and Flying Fish. What is found is that instead of beer and cider brands embracing these newly popularised masculinities, they are rather continuing to promote the hegemonic masculinity already entrenched in South Africa. This results in the removal of women from these narratives and leaves beer and cider brands behind as the rest of the world continue to grow and challenge gender norms.
A zebrafish model of Letm 1 and Letm 2 deficiency verfasst

Page 81 6. Abstract Wolf Hirschhorn Syndrome (WHS) is severe gene deletion syndrome associated with a wide range of related symptoms. Different studies showed that WHS patients with seizures are LETM1 haploinsufficient. The leucine zipper-EF-hand containing transmembrane protein 1 (LETM1) is an evolutionary conserved and nucleus encoded mitochondrial protein located in the inner membrane. Recent studies showed that LETM1 regulates the mitochondrial potassium homeostasis and is therefore a factor of the Potassium/Proton-Exchanger (KHE) complex. Disruption of LETM1 in various model systems revealed a temporary growth retardation and mitochondrial swelling, associated with mitophagy and cell death. Furthermore, while DmLetm1 deficient flies are less mobile than the controls, mice do not show any characteristic phenotype. However, injection of a convulsant substance induced prolonged and higher frequent seizures in the mutant rodents, compared to healthy specimens. Besides LETM1, most eukaryotes also encode a LETM1-like protein, termed LETM2. Sequence alignments showed that LETM2 shares various domains with LETM1. However, the role and function of the novel protein is still elusive. The current study was addressed to investigate several aspects of LETM1 and LETM2 in the zebrafish and human cells. Sequence alignments and a phylogenetic analysis of the studied proteins revealed their highly conservation throughout the animal kingdom. Furthermore, it was also found that especially the transmembrane and calcium binding domains are very well preserved. Visualization (In situ hybridization) and quantification (qPCR) of the letm1 and letm2 gene expression in larval and adult tissue samples was further conducted to determine their expression pattern in the zebrafish. The first method revealed a ubiquitous expression of both investigated proteins in larvae and adult fish brains. Quantification of the letm1 expression levels showed a higher abundance in the head than in the residual body during development. However, the levels of letm2 stayed almost even. Interestingly, while the letm2 expression is modestly higher during some developmental stages, adult fish clearly display higher levels of letm1 in all observed organs. A novel letm1 and letm2 haploinsufficient zebrafish strain was generated by means of the TALEN and CRISPR/Cas9 technology. The locomotor behavior of the generated letm1 mutants was further assessed, but did not show an abnormal movement behavior. Furthermore, the established fish lines will serve as important models to investigate additional aspects of Letm1 and Letm2. Moreover, to conduct localization studies two different sets of expression vectors, carrying the fluorescent tagged fish
Warming up for Planck

The recent Planck results and future releases on the horizon present a key opportunity to address a fundamental question in inflationary cosmology of whether primordial density perturbations have a quantum or thermal origin, i.e. whether particle production may have significant effects during inflation. Warm inflation provides a natural arena to address this issue, with interactions between the scalar inflaton and other degrees of freedom leading to dissipative entropy production and associated thermal fluctuations. In this context, we present relations between CMB observables that can be directly tested against observational data. In particular, we show that the presence of a thermal bath warmer than the Hubble scale during inflation decreases the tensor-to-scalar ratio with respect to the conventional prediction in supercooled inflation, yielding r < 8|nt|, where nt is the tensor spectral index. Focusing on supersymmetric models at low temperatures, we determine consistency relations between the observables characterizing the spectrum of adiabatic scalar and tensor modes, both for generic potentials and particular canonical examples, and which we compare with the WMAP and Planck results. Finally, we include the possibility of producing the observed baryon asymmetry during inflation through dissipative effects, thereby generating baryon isocurvature modes that can be easily accommodated by the Planck data.
SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE AND THE ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT OF COLLEGE FACULTY

The relationship between the spiritual experience and organizational commitment of faculty in Seventh-day Adventist tertiary educational institutions in north Philippines constituted the primary focus of this study. Instrumentation included the Spiritual Well-being Scale (SWBS), Thayer Longform Faith Maturity Scale (TFS), and Organizational Commitment Questionnaire (OCQ). Results indicated high levels of spiritual experience and organizational commitment in this population. Each aspect of spiritual experience in the study was significantly and positively related to organizational commitment, with the highest correlation evidenced in the case of faith maturity. Further, the relationship between spiritual experience and organizational commitment was influenced by certain demographic variables. The correlation between existential well-being and organizational commitment was significantly higher in older faculty than in their middle-aged colleagues, in new faculty and long-serving faculty as compared to those who had served 2 to 9 years, and in faculty with doctoral degrees as compared with those lower academic degrees. Faculty who had served more than 10 years had a significantly higher correlation between faith maturity and organizational commitment than those who had served less than 10 years. Significant positive relationships were also found between organizational commitment and faculty age, years of service in the SDA educational system, and time lapse since baptism. The best model for predicting organizational commitment, accounting for 42% of the variance explained, was comprised of existential well-being, faith maturity, and time lapse since baptism.
Nonlocal dispersal and averaging in heterogeneous landscapes

While reaction–diffusion equations are the standard modelling framework for many questions in spatial ecology, their nonlocal analogues, integrodifferential equations, have gained in popularity recently. Here we consider integrodifferential equations for population spread and persistence in heterogeneous landscapes, and we develop appropriate averaging methods for these models. We average over landscape and patch scales. While averaging methods for reaction–diffusion equations lead to relatively simple expressions of persistence conditions and invasion speeds, we find that the results are much richer and more complicated for integro-differential equations. We illustrate our results with two dispersal mechanisms: (1) individuals are mobile throughout their lifetime and (2) only offspring move.
Regeneration Patterns of Tree Species Along an Elevational Gradient in the Garhwal Himalaya

This study assessed the regeneration status of tree species at different elevations in Himalayan forests. For this purpose, we assessed the densities of seedlings, saplings, and adult trees of various forest-forming species to understand their population structure and regeneration patterns. Five elevational ranges—<2000, 2000–2500, 2500–3000, 3000–3500, and >3500 m above sea level—were selected in various ranges in the Bhagirathi River catchment area in the Garhwal Himalaya. The highest species richness was recorded at the lowest elevational range, and the lowest species richness was recorded at the highest elevational range. Species diversity, measured using the Simpson and Shannon–Wiener diversity indices, was highest at the lowest elevations and lowest at the highest elevations. Abies spectabilis, Cedrus deodara, Rhododendron arboreum, Pinus roxburghii, and Quercus oblongata were dominant and widely adapted with appropriate regeneration potential at various elevations, whereas Aesculus indica, Juglans regia, and Sorbus cuspidata showed less ability to regenerate, indicating a threat to their survival in the near future. Tree species of subalpine forests Abies pindrow, A. spectabilis, Acer acuminatum, Betula utilis, and R. arboreum were observed to expand their upper limits into alpine meadows. Weak regeneration by some dominant tree species, and expansion by a few less-dominant or even rare species, indicate likely future compositional changes in Himalayan forests.
The relevance of pragmatism in front of Keynesian uncertainty: comparing the FED and the ECB monetary policies

Contrasting with a general view, we argue that the Fed and ECB missions are fundamentally identical: beyond the declared objectives and the technical details, the primary objective is the stabilization of the price index in the long run. However, the policies that have been implemented for more that fifteen years show some distance from the underlying theory, especially in the case of the Fed. Yet, although the European Union seems to follow the new- macroeconomics governance principles more accurately as concerns prices and public deficits control, the monetary policy of the Federal Reserve looks more effective. Various authors have put forward the pragmatism of Alan Greenspan and the dogmatism of the ECB when discussing the relative success of the Fed, but the reasons why pragmatism ought to do better than a thorough application of (new macroeconomics) theoretical recommendations remain unexplored. The paper focuses on the advantage of the monetary policy pragmatism in front of Keynesian uncertainty. More specifically, it points outs the trials of the "new macroeconomics" principles of monetary policy when they are implemented in a system which do not have any "natural" anchor. It discusses furthermore the additional difficulties inherent to monetary unions which result from the lack of coordination between the central bank and the national budgetary-fiscal policies. Some Keynesian principles aiming at improving the ECB contribution to the economic growth of the Eurozone are suggested.
Biotechnologies Involved in Differentiation of Cervical Lesions

The purpose of this paper is to describe the updated biotechnologies approved to be used for identifying precancerous cervical lesions in clinical practice. The paper focuses on the new biotechnologies able to detect human papillomavirus (HPV) such as nucleic acid hybridization assays, signal amplification assays, and nucleic acid amplification. Particular attention is given to the discussion regarding the differences among the biotechnologies used, such as Digene Hybrid Capture test using Hybrid Capture 2 technology and the Cervista HR-HPV assay. The scientific progress is emphasized by new markers such as cycline p16 INK4a , viral oncoproteins E6 and E7, high-risk (HR) HPV genotyping, and dual test p16/Ki67. The results of the large ongoing studies conduct‐ ed worldwide highlight these markers’ capacity to disclose the differences between transient and transforming HPV infection and mild abnormal cytologies which could spontaneously regress or develop into cancer. Although both screening programs and opportunistic screening concerning cervical cancer are used worldwide, major geographic differences exist nowadays as regards the access to these programs. Finally, to achieve the objective of this study, the recommendations of various guidelines available across Europe, United States, and Australia, as well as the diagnosis tests accessible to women in low-resource countries are presented.

Multifrequency, thermally coupled radiative transfer with TRAPHIC: method and tests

We present an extension of traphic, the method for radiative transfer of ionizing radiation in smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulations that we introduced in Pawlik & Schaye. The new version keeps all advantages of the original implementation: photons are transported at the speed of light, in a photon-conserving manner, directly on the spatially adaptive, unstructured grid traced out by the particles, in a computation time that is independent of the number of radiation sources, and in parallel on distributed memory machines. We extend the method to include multiple frequencies, both hydrogen and helium, and to model the coupled evolution of the temperature and ionization balance. We test our methods by performing a set of simulations of increasing complexity and including a small cosmological reionization run. The results are in excellent agreement with exact solutions, where available, and also with results obtained with other codes if we make similar assumptions and account for differences in the atomic rates used. We use the new implementation to illustrate the differences between simulations that compute photoheating in the grey approximation and those that use multiple frequency bins. We show that close to ionizing sources the grey approximation asymptotes to the multifrequency result if photoheating rates are computed in the optically thin limit, but that the grey approximation breaks down everywhere if, as is often done, the optically thick limit is assumed.
Aalborg Universitet Power control optimization for uplink grant-free

Ultra-reliable and low latency communication (URLLC) presents the most challenging use cases for fifth generation (5G) mobile networks. Traditionally the focus for mobile broadband has been to optimize the system throughput for high speed data traffic. However the optimization criteria for URLLC should focus on achieving small packets transmissions under strict targets such as 99.999% reliability within 1 ms. Power control is one candidate technology component for improving reliability and latency. In this work we investigate the power control for grant-free URLLC transmissions through extensive system level simulations in a urban outdoor scenario. We initially compare different settings for open loop power control (OLPC) with full and with fractional path loss compensation. Then we evaluate whether power boosting the retransmission can reduce the probability of packets delays under the 1 ms constraint. We also discuss the practical implication of applying power boosting. With full path loss compensation and boosting retransmissions, we show that a URLLC load such as 1200 small packets per second per cell can be achieved in the considered scenario.
Training and Development Practices and Employees’ Performance in Selected Manufacturing Companies in Nigeria

Managing workforce diversity in manufacturing organisations has been a problem all over the world including Nigeria. Manufacturing organisations in Nigeria continue to experience occasional drop in performance due to employees’ apathy and non-challant attitudes as a result of high level of dissatisfaction caused by inadequate attention to training and development practices. This study assessed the relationships between training and development practices and employees’ performance in selected manufacturing companies in Nigeria. A cross sectional survey research design was employed, and out of the 1,568 copies of questionnaire that were administered proportionally in the selected manufacturing companies, 1,153 copies were retrieved and found useful. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and the hypotheses were tested using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The results of the findings show f-statistics of 223.717 and so, there is a significant relationship between training and development practices and employees’ performance among Nigerians working in the selected manufacturing companies. Also, f-statistics of 244.391 shows a significant relationship between training and development practices and employees’ performance among other nationals in the selected MNCs. The study concluded that there are significant relationships between training and development practices and employees’ performance in selected manufacturing MNCs in Nigeria.

: Cross effects between monetary policy and financial markets

The heading looks like an obvious choice for a central banker. The issue of cross effects is of ongoing interest for policymakers and market participants alike. The introduction of the single currency and concomitant changes in integrating European financial markets have brought these cross effects even more into the spotlight. Not least, the BIS has – in its latest annual report – devoted considerable space to these issues. Furthermore, – I trust you will grant me the quote – “irrational exuberance” in major stock markets has reinvigorated the debate about financial market prices and their appropriate role in monetary policy.
Asymmetric wage adjustment and employment in European firms

Abstract We explore the impact of wage adjustment on employment with a focus on the role of downward nominal wage rigidities. We use a harmonised survey dataset, which covers 25 European countries in the period 2010–2013. These data are particularly useful for this paper given the firm-level information on the change in economic conditions and collective pay agreements. Our findings confirm the presence of wage rigidities in Europe: first, collective pay agreements reduce the probability of downward wage adjustment; second, wage responses to demand developments are asymmetric with a weaker downward response. Estimation results show that a wage reduction significantly lowers the probability of a decrease in employment at the firm level when demand falls and thereby point to a negative effect of downward wage rigidities on employment at the firm level.
