Mediating Role of Employee Engagement on the Effect of Inclusion and Organizational Diversity on Turnover Intention: A Study on IT Professionals

The purpose of this research article is to study the effect of inclusion and perceived organizational diversity on turnover intention with the mediating role of employee engagement. Data of 413 participants were evaluated for this study, wherein the participants included IT professionals working in India. PLS-SEM was used to the test the hypotheses of the study by developing a path model and carrying out measurement and structural model assessment. The results revealed that inclusion, perceived organizational diversity, and employee engagement exhibit significant negative effect on turnover intention and are strongly able to predict turnover intention of the IT professionals. In addition, employee engagement partially mediates the relationship of inclusion and perceived organizational diversity with turnover intention. Overall, the study highlights that when employees feel included in the organization and there is a positive perception on diversity management, it leads to enhanced employee engagement and a lowered turnover intention.
Dynamical Theory of String Excitation by Bowing

The kinematics of the bowed string have already been observed and mathematically described by H. von Helmholtz. For the present investigation we need to know the energy supply at the location of bowing and the energy loss in the vibrating system. A self‐excited mechanism is used to create the energy supply between bow and string. To analyze string excitation at that point investigations were made of: characteristic of friction between bow and string; influence of the normal force between string and bow on the steady vibration; longitudinal impedance of the bow hair; influence of the eccentric excitation on the string, which also introduces torsional waves. The steady state of the bowed string was calculated with regard to the characteristic of the friction force and a complex impedance at the end of the string corresponding to the bridge, taking into account the modes of the body and all energy losses. Results explain the influence of the normal force between bow and string on the steady vibration. Result.
Classiﬁcation of vortex patterns of oscillating foils in side-by-side conﬁgurations

The unsteady hydrodynamics of two pitching foils arranged in a side-by-side (parallel) conﬁguration is examined for a range of Strouhal numbers, phase differences, oscillation amplitudes and separation distances. Three distinct vortex patterns are identiﬁed in the wake maps, which include separated wake, merged wake and transitional-merged wake. Furthermore, a novel model is introduced based on fundamental ﬂow variables including velocity, location and circulation of dipole structures to quantitatively distinguish vortex patterns in the wake. The physical mechanism of the wake merging process is also elucidated. When an oscillating foil experiences the jet deﬂection phenomenon, secondary structures separated from the primary street traverse in the other direction by making an angle with its parent vortex street. For in-phase pitching parallel foils, secondary structures from the vortex street of the lower foil interact with the primary vortex street of the upper foil under certain kinematic conditions. This interaction triggers the wake merging process by inﬂuencing circulation of coherent structures in the upper part of the wake. It is unveiled that merging of the wakes leads to enhancements in propulsive efﬁciency by increasing thrust generation without a signiﬁcant alteration in power requirements. These are attributed to the formation of a high-momentum jet by the merged vortex street, which possesses signiﬁcantly larger circulation due to the amalgamation of the vortices, and major alterations in the evolution of leading edge vortices. Thus, ﬂow physics, which is thoroughly explored here, is crucial in providing novel insights for the future development of ﬂow control techniques for efﬁcient designs of bio-inspired underwater propulsors.
Analysis of acceptance factors and market potential of digital wallets of college students

One of the fintech products is a digital wallet, an electronic money service in the form of a mobile application that can use for payment transactions. This study aims to determine the acceptance factor and potential of the digital wallet market by university students. The theory used in this study is the UTAUT2 model, with performance expectancy (PE), effort expectancy (EE), social influence (SI), facilitating conditions (FC), hedonic motivation (HM), price value (PV), habit (HA) as the independent variables. Meanwhile, behavioural intention (BI) and use behaviour (UB) are dependent variables. The population in this study were all university students, while the sample was 400 people. This study collected data by distributing online questionnaires. The sampling technique used is random sampling, and the data analysis technique used is PLS-SEM with the help of SmartPLS 3.2. 9 software. This study proves that the influence of the independent variables on the dependent variables is significant. In contrast, the variable effort expectancy (EE), social influence (SI), facilitating conditions (FC), and hedonic motivation (HM) were weak predictors of behavioural intention (BI). The results of this study are supposed to be useful for government and digital wallet companies to improve the market potential level of digital wallets by optimising the function of the factors that affect the use of the digital wallet. In contrast to other studies, this study investigates all the many kinds of digital wallets that operated in Indonesia, which becomes the novelty of this research.
Homology Domain 2-Containing Protein T Cells: Lack of Correlation with Src TCR-Transgenic + Threshold of Primed CD8 Absence of CTLA-4 Lowers the Activation

To examine the role of CTLA-4 in controlling Ag-speciﬁc CD8 1 T cell activation, TCR-transgenic/CTLA-4 wild-type or -deﬁcient mice were generated in a recombination-activating gene 2-deﬁcient background. Naive T cells from these mice responded comparably whether or not CTLA-4 was expressed. In contrast, primed T cells responded more vigorously if they lacked CTLA-4 expression. We took advantage of the difference between naive and primed T cell responses to approach the mechanism of CTLA-4 function. Single-cell analyses demonstrated that a greater fraction of CTLA-4-deﬁcient cells responded to a ﬁxed dose of Ag compared with CTLA-4-expressing cells, whereas the magnitude of response per cell was comparable. A shift in the dose-response curve to APCs was also observed such that fewer APCs were required to activate CTLA-4-deﬁcient T cells to produce intracellular IFN- g and to proliferate. These results suggest that CTLA-4 controls the threshold of productive TCR signaling. Biochemical analysis comparing stimulated naive and primed TCR-transgenic cells revealed no obvious differences in expression of total CTLA-4, tyrosine-phosphorylated CTLA-4, and associated Src homology domain 2-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase. Thus, the biochemical mechanism explaining the differential inhibitory effect of CTLA-4 on naive and primed CD8 1 T cells remains unclear. The Journal of Immunology, 2001, 166: 3900–3907.
Debt Stabilization in a Non-Ricardian Economy (cid:3)

In models with a representative in(cid:133)nitely lived household, tax smoothing implies that the steady state of government debt should follow a random walk. This is unlikely to be the case in OLG economies, where the equilibrium interest rate may di⁄er from the policy maker(cid:146)s rate of time preference. It may therefore be optimal to reduce debt today to reduce distortionary taxation in the future. In addition, the level of the capital stock in these economies is likely to be sub-optimally low, and reducing government debt will crowd in additional capital. Using a version of the model of perpetual youth developed by Blanchard (1985) and Yaari (1965), with both public and private capital, we show that it is optimal in steady state for the government to hold assets. However, we also show how and why this level of government assets can fall short of both the level of debt that achieves the optimal capital stock and the level that eliminates income taxes. Finally we compute the optimal adjustment path to this steady state. and the non-linear Ramsey dynamics. A (cid:133)nal section concludes.
Distractor probabilities modulate flanker task performance Eli

Expectations about upcoming events help humans to effectively filter out potential distractors and respond more efficiently to task-relevant inputs. While previous work has emphasized the role of expectations about task-relevant inputs, less is known about the role that expectations play in suppressing specific distractors. To address this question, we manipulated the probabilities of different flanker configurations in the Eriksen flanker task. Across four studies, we found robust evidence for sensitivity to the probability of flankers, with an approximately logarithmic relationship between the likelihood of a particular flanker configuration and the accuracy of subjects ’ responses. Subjects were also sensitive to length of runs of repeated targets, but minimally sensitive to length of runs of repeated flankers. Two studies used chevron stimuli, and two used letters (confirming that results generalize with greater dissimilarity between stimuli). Expanding the set of stimuli (thus reducing the dominance of any one exemplar) eliminated the effect. Our findings suggest that expectations about distractors form in response to statistical regularities at multiple timescales, and that their effects are strongest when stimuli are geometrically similar and subjects are able to respond to trials quickly. Unexpected distractors could disrupt performance, most likely via a form of attentional capture. This work demonstrates how expectations can influence attention in complex cognitive settings, and illuminates the multiple, nested factors that contribute.
ScholarWorks @ Georgia State University ScholarWorks @ Georgia State University An Evolutionary Perspective on Morality An Evolutionary Perspective on Morality

Moral behavior and concern for others are sometimes argued to set humans apart from other species. However, there is some evidence that humans are not the only animal species to possess these characteristics. Work from behavioral biology and neuroscience has indicated that some of these traits are present in other species, including other primates. Studying these behaviors in other species can inform us about the evolutionary trajectory of morality, either helping understand how the behaviors evolved and which environmental characteristics were critical for their emergence. While this evolutionary approach to human behavior is not always well received, a brief historical look indicates that this has not always been the case. For instance Adam Smith, better known for his economics than his natural history, was clearly sympathetic with the view that moral behaviors are present in species other than humans. This paper focuses on how individuals respond to inequity, which is related to moral behavior. Recent evidence shows that nonhuman primates distinguish between inequitable and equitable outcomes. However, this is primarily in situations in which inequity hurts the self (e.g. disadvantageous inequity) rather than another (e.g. advantageous inequity). Studying such responses can help us understand the evolutionary basis of moral behavior, which increases our understanding of how our own morality emerged.
Tolerância ao déficit hídrico em genótipos de Urochloa spp

It is estimated that World population will increase considerably in the coming years. Thus, there is a need to maximize the production of animal protein, of which the pasture production system is the most economical way. However, abiotic factors influence animal production, with water deficit being the factor that most limits the development of forages. This research aimed to investigate the tolerance of Urochloa spp. genotypes under periods with water deficit conditions. The experiment was carried out in a randomized block design, under a factorial design. Twelve forage genotypes were evaluated in three periods of water stress, with three replications. There was no interaction effect between the genotype factors and time of stress due to water deficit for all variables. There was a reduction in forage production with the increase of time in water restriction, and a decrease of 23% in leaf mass and 30% in stem. In the case of leaf attributes, there was a decrease of 28% in the area and 21% in the leaf length. For the genotype factor, the G11 material stood out in relation to the others for presenting better agronomic characteristics. However, studies are needed to demonstrate the superiority of this material in production systems.
Unravelling the Mysteries of Underdevelopment in Africa

Achieving sustainable development has been the dream of every society across the globe especially sequel to the dawn of the industrial revolution. Thus, understanding the fundamental determinants of the socio-politico-economic development of every economy is of prime importance for investors, policymakers, development agencies and the society at large. It is in this light that this study sought to empirically examine the key factors that explain the socioeconomic development patterns in Africa. The Instrumental Variable Two Stage Least Squares (IV-2SLS) estimation technique is adopted for a panel of 38 African countries over the 1996-2019 period. The empirical findings reveal that financial development and human capital are development enhancing in Africa while external financial inflows are detrimental to economic development. In addition, when other specific macroeconomic and structural variables were introduced in the model, the results show that institutional quality through governance, natural resources abundance, and industrialisation all explain both the social and economic development dynamics. These results were specific to income group, export structures and level of development. Moreover, salient policy implications are discussed.
Gravitationally Lensed Quasar SDSS J1442+4055: Redshifts of Lensing Galaxies, Time Delay, Microlensing Variability, and Intervening Metal System at z ∼ 2

We present r-band photometric monitoring of the two images, A and B, of the gravitationally lensed quasar SDSS J1442+4055 using the Liverpool Telescope (LT). From the LT light curves between 2015 December and 2018 August, we derive at once a time delay of 25.0 ± 1.5 days (1σ confidence interval; A is leading) and microlensing magnification gradients below 10−4 mag day−1. The delay interval is not expected to be affected by an appreciable microlensing-induced bias, so it can be used to estimate cosmological parameters. This paper also focuses on new Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) and LT spectroscopic observations of the lens system. We determine the redshift of two bright galaxies around the doubly imaged quasar using LT spectroscopy, while GTC data lead to low-noise individual spectra of A, B, and the main lensing galaxy, G1. The G1 spectral shape is accurately matched to an early-type galaxy template at z = 0.284, and it has potential for further relevant studies. Additionally, the quasar spectra show absorption by metal-rich gas at z ∼ 2. This dusty absorber is responsible for an extinction bump at a rest-frame wavelength of 2209 ± 2 Å, which has strengths of ∼0.47 and 0.76 mag μm−1 for A and B, respectively. In such an intervening system, the dust-to-gas ratio, gas-phase metallicity indicator [Zn/H], and dust depletion level [Fe/Zn] are relatively high.
Experimental and Theoretical Investigation of the Synthesis, Electronic and Magnetic Properties of MnFe 2 O 4 Spinel Ferrite

: MnFe 2 O 4 ferrite nanoparticle was synthesized via the sol–gel method, and structural, morphology and magnetic characteristics were investigated. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the synthesized sample was in a single phase with a spinel-ferrite-like structure (space group Fd-3m). The scanning electron microscopy displayed homogenous spherical grains with an agglomeration of the particles. The chemical composition determined by energy-dispersive spectroscopy shows the absence of any impurities. To understand the role of magnetic interaction in MnFe 2 O 4 spinel ferrites, the structural and magnetic properties of MnFe 2 O 4 have been explored theoretically. Based on the ﬁrst-principles methods via density functional theory and Monte Carlo simulations, the magnetic hysteresis cycle has been plotted. Using the generalized gradient and GGA-PBE approximation in the full-potential linearized augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) method, the exchange coupling interactions between magnetic elements and local magnetic moment were evaluated. Furthermore, the theoretical magnetic properties of MnFe 2 O 4 were found to match the experimental ones. They both revealed that MnFe 2 O 4 is a soft ferromagnetic material. The theoretical curve of magnetization versus temperature indicates that the transition occurred at T c = 580.0 K. This was also in good agreement with the experimental Curie temperature.
Limbic Morphometry in Individuals with Schizophrenia and Their Nonpsychotic Siblings

Limbic Morphometry in Individuals with Schizophrenia and Their Nonpsychotic Siblings Rachael Olivia Slate Department of Psychology, Brigham Young University Master of Science The limbic system is hypothesized to play a critical role in pathophysiology of schizophrenia, with abnormalities thought to contribute to the expression of various aspects of the cognitive deficits and clinical symptoms. Psychosis is understood as highly heritable and family members, specifically non-affected siblings, while not displaying overt signs of the disorder, often exhibit features similar to those observed in patients, though to a lesser degree. The overarching aim of this project was to investigate the integrity of limbic circuitry in a sample of patients with schizophrenia and their non-affected siblings and examine its potential relationship with various clinical features of the illness. Cortical thickness of the entorhinal, parahippocampal, cingulate, and orbitofrontal cortices; as well as subcortical surface shape of the hippocampus and amygdala were the focus of this study. Findings from this study reveal relative similarity in limbic integrity between individuals with schizophrenia and their non-affected siblings, which are both disparate from healthy individuals. This suggests aspects of the neurobiological underpinnings of psychosis, particularly limbic regions, are genetically influenced regardless of symptom expression and are latent features in non-affected family members. Relationships between positive symptomatology and shape abnormalities of subcortical structures suggest a potential substrate for clinical characteristics in psychosis not evident in non-ill siblings.
Project B.L.A.C.K. Barriers Lifted After Cultivating Knowledge: Assessing Individualized Barriers To Obesity Prevention In Black Women Using The Teach-Back Method

Background: Black women are diagnosed, disabled, and die from obesity and associated chronic diseases at higher rates than any other race or sex. Further exploration is warranted on how advanced practice registered nurses (APRN) can improve culturally relevant health education and counseling delivery. Objective: Explore individualized barriers and the healthcare provider’s roles in providing care affecting obesity prevention among Black women. While simultaneously assessing the effectiveness of educating Black women using the Teach-back method to understand health habits and attitudes. Method: A mixed-method design was utilized in group sessions and surveys. Participants identifying with obesity and associated diseases were recruited from a predominantly Black church in Atlanta. After completing a demographic survey and pre-Readiness to Change (RCQ) questionnaire, they engaged in weekly, one-hour educational sessions via Zoom addressing the four common barriers identified in the literature. They ended with a 5-10 minute teach-back session. Participants completed a post-RCQ questionnaire after the 4-weeks. Results: Twenty women completed the intervention. Descriptive statistics and qualitative data from surveys, audio, and emails were used for analysis. Paired sample t-test revealed no statistical significance and showed no correlation between pre and post-test RCQ scores after tailored health education was provided using teach-back. However, correlational analysis between BMI, education, and income level was significant with a p-value of 0.05. Discussion: Black women depend on healthcare providers for counseling and solutions. Furthermore, they require different approaches in screening, health promotion, and interventions that consistently assess individual risks, tailored education, and the use of Teach-back. Results emphasized that Black women experience rates of obesity differently from other races despite income or education level that was predominantly cited to be secondary to stress. Stress was voiced as a considerable contributor to disordered eating, decreased engagement in physical activity, and lack of motivation.
K{sup 0}-K{sup 0} mixing beyond the standard model and CP-violating electroweak penguins in quenched QCD with exact chiral symmetry

We present results for the $\ensuremath{\Delta}S=2$ matrix elements which are required to study neutral kaon mixing in the standard model (SM) and beyond . We also provide leading chiral order results for the matrix elements of the electroweak penguin operators which give the dominant $\ensuremath{\Delta}I=3/2$ contribution to direct $CP$ violation in $K\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\pi}\ensuremath{\pi}$ decays. Our calculations were performed with Neuberger fermions on two sets of quenched Wilson gauge configurations at inverse lattice spacings of approximately 2.2 GeV and 1.5 GeV. All renormalizations were implemented nonperturbatively in the regularization-independent/momentum (RI/MOM) scheme, where we accounted for subleading operator product expansion corrections and discretization errors. We find ratios of non-SM to SM matrix elements which are roughly twice as large as in the only other dedicated lattice study of these amplitudes. On the other hand, our results for the electroweak penguin matrix elements are in good agreement with two recent domain-wall fermion calculations. As a by-product of our study, we determine the strange quark mass. Our main results are summarized and discussed in Sec. VII. Within our statistics, we find no evidence for scaling violations.
