The Influence of Human Resource Practices on Job Satisfaction in Decentralized Health Service Delivery: A Case of Shinyanga Region in Tanzania

The study examined the influence of Human Resource (HR) practices on job satisfaction in the decentralized health service delivery in Shinyanga region, Tanzania. The influence of HR practices on job satisfaction is vastly examined by different scholars. Their findings revealed mixed results ranging from significant positive to adverse influence on job satisfaction. Thus, to bridge the knowledge gap, this study examined the specific HR practices in the specific area context. The specific HR practices tested in this study included human resource planning (HRP), supervision, performance appraisal, training and compensation. The region was selected because over different periods of time, it experienced unsatisfactory performance in health service delivery. This was reflected by inability of the region to attain 50% of the Mellenium Development Goals related to health and lowest achievements in health service delivery as reflected in the preparatory stage in launching the Results Based Financing in which the region ranked the last in the then 21 regions of the country. An explanatory Survey research design with mixed research approach was employed for the study. The survey data were collected from 287 respondents and supplemented by the qualitative data. The study found that all the five HR practices had some chances on job satisfaction. However, HRP and supervision revealed significant chances of having job satisfaction implying that they were effectively undertaken. Nevertheless, these practices were constrained by the ineffective employees’ participation in HRP and the inability of the Council Health Management Teams (CHMTs) to provide supportive supervision in health facilities. It was thus recommended to enhance employees’ participation in HRP and supervision for improving job satisfaction. Likewise, it is also important for the facilities to continuously appraise human resource performance and use the results in making human resource decisions.
Structure of Two Peromyscus Polionotus Populations in Old-Field Ecosystems at the Aec Savannah River Plant

Field work to determine structure of and spacing within 2 Peromyscus polionotus populations was done on 2 live-trapping grids in 2 fields of different soil types and vegetational covers in the upper coastal plain in South Carolina. No statistically significant differences were found between the sizes of home ranges for adult male and for adult female mice in any season, nor in different seasons in the same field and year. The estimated mean home range for adult P. polionotus in the study was 0.34 ± 0.02 acre, sd 0.17. Mouse populations on the 2 grids were similar in the first year and in comparable seasons in the field retaining a population in the second year of study. The annual population cycle showed a continuous decline from a spring high (April–May) to a midwinter low (Jan.–Feb.), then an increase to the next spring high. Analysis of spacing showed that mice of the same sex were distributed at random and that distances between members of the same sex tended to vary inversely with population density. Distances between members of the opposite sexes tended to remain relatively constant regardless of changes in density.
Effect of breast-conserving surgery combined with sentinel lymph node biopsy and axillary preservation on the recurrence, metastasis, complications and cosmetic results of early breast cancer patients.

Background As one of the main malignant tumors, breast cancer remains a worldwide public health issue. Here, we aimed to analyze the effects of breast-conserving surgery (BCS) combined with sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) and axillary preservation on the recurrence, metastasis, complications, and cosmetic results of early breast cancer patients (BCPs). Methods The clinical data of 143 BCPs admitted to our hospital from January 2017 to January 2019 were collected retrospectively, and all patients were female. Patients (76 cases) undergoing BCS combined with SLNB and axillary preservation treatment were set as the combined group, and 67 cases undergoing traditional modified radical surgery were set as the control group. After the perioperative conditions of patients in the two groups were compared, the patients were followed up for 14 months to record information on the quality of life, recurrence, metastasis, complications, and cosmetic results. Results The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, and extubation time of the combined group were significantly less than the control group (P<0.05); the quality of life of patients in both groups improved after treatment, but the quality of life of patients in the combined group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05); both groups of patients were followed up for 14 months after treatment, and there were no deaths. The rates of local recurrence and distant metastasis were 2.98% and 5.97% in the control group and 5.26% and 6.57% in the combined group, respectively, showing no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05); the incidence of postoperative complications was 14.92% in the control group, which was significantly higher than the incidence of 3.94% of the combined group (P<0.05); the proportion of postoperative cosmetic results with an excellent and good rating was 59.7% in the control group, which was significantly lower than the 93.42% reported in the combined group (P<0.05). Conclusions BCS combined with SLNB and axillary preservation provided good clinical and cosmetic results and can improve the quality of life of patients and reduce the rate of recurrence and metastasis.
Manycore clique enumeration with fast set intersections

Listing all maximal cliques of a given graph has important applications in the analysis of social and biological networks. Parallelisation of maximal clique enumeration (MCE) algorithms on modern manycore processors is challenging due to the task-level parallelism that unfolds dynamically. Moreover, the execution time of such algorithms is known to be dominated by intersections between dynamically-created vertex sets. In this paper, we prove that the use of hash-join-based set-intersection algorithms within MCE leads to Pareto-optimal implementations in terms of runtime and memory space compared to those based on merge joins. Building on this theoretical result, we develop a scalable parallel implementation of MCE that exploits both data parallelism, by using SIMD-accelerated hash-join-based set intersections, and task parallelism, by using a shared-memory parallel processing framework that supports dynamic load balancing. Overall, our implementation is an order of magnitude faster than a state-of-the-art manycore MCE algorithm. We also show that a careful scheduling of the execution of the tasks leads to a two orders of magnitude reduction of the peak dynamic memory usage. In practice, we can execute MCE on graphs with tens of millions of vertices and up to two billion edges in just a few minutes on a single CPU.
Provenance and Tectonics of the Allochthonous New Guinea Terranes: Implications for the Formation and Evolution of Regional Basins

Papua New Guinea resides in a complex tectonic junction between the Australian continent, the Southwest Pacific, and Southeast Asia. Resolving the plate tectonic evolution of this region has proven difficult to date due to the plethora of contradicting geologic models that stem from a lack of constraining regional datasets. A growing body of geochronologic, geochemical and isotopic data acquired over the past decade, combined with new field observations, has led to a progressive shift from a largely autochthonous terrane model, to one of allochthonous terranes and accretion at the northern Australian continental margin. Findings from a compilation of zircon and biostratigraphic age data throughout the Papuan Peninsula and the New Guinea Fold and Thrust, and Mobile Belts, extending west to the Bird’s Head of West Papua, provide a robust evidence-based provenance model for the origin of these terranes. The evaluation of inherited and detrital zircon age populations indicates that many of the terranes are allochthonous in nature and that existing tectonic reconstructions require major revision. For example, a reconstruction that infers a North Queensland provenance for clastic rocks of the Papuan Peninsula based on closure of the Coral Sea is no longer supported by the available data. Instead, some of the allochthonous terranes are now interpreted to be derived from eastern Australia, with provenance of the Papuan Peninsula more akin to that of New Caledonia than North Queensland.
Dispersal and destruction in a multiple habitat system: an experimental approach using protist communities

Many habitats occur as discrete fragments, and the populations in such communities persist at a regional level, despite periodic local extinction. One component of local extinction is disturbance, or in the extreme case destruction, of individual patches. The impact of such disturbances on the ability of the entire system (the metacommunity) to retain species is clearly a significant question in many real systems. The problem has been the subject of a number of recent theoretical investigations, but this study addresses the question using an experimental 'model' system of protist communities, where patch destruction rates and between-patch dispersal rates can be manipulated. Replicate blocks of eight microcosms (patches) were inoculated with 13 species of protists and then subjected to 3 levels of destruction and 2 levels of between-patch dispersal in a factorial design. Communities were sampled after 6 and 16 weeks. The results support the simple prediction that metacommunities subject to higher rates of patch destruction suffer greater species losses, and that increasing dispersal rates between patches moderates, but does not entirely counteract, that effect. Differing dispersal rates alone had little effect on either community or metacommunity diversity. There was no evidence that disturbance enhanced diversity, either within or across patches, but there was some suggestion that there were consistent differences in community structure in response to combinations of destruction/dispersal treatments. The possible mechanisms underlying the results, including the effect of low local abundance on colonization rate, are discussed.
Corporate Value: Impact of Sales Growth, Leverage, and Investment Opportunity Set

This study aims to analyze the effect of sales growth, leverage, and investment opportunity set on corporate value. Corporate value is a measure of how the sustainability of an entity is going, the high corporate value indicates that the company is in the good condition to carry out operations in the future and that can attract investors to make transactions on the entity's shares. Therefore it is very important for investors to know what factors affect the corporate value, and that they do not take the wrong steps in making transactions on the stock exchange. Using multiple regression analysis with the STATA software on mining companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, this study finds the effect of sales growth and investment opportunity set on corporate value, while leverage has no effect on corporate value. These results explain that investors give a positive reaction to the company's performance in increasing its turnover and investment opportunity set so that it has an impact on corporate value in the stock market. These results have implications for management to work hard in increasing sales to increase corporate value.
FORCE ASYMMETRY DURING ISOMETRIC CONTRACTIONS FOLLOWING ANTERIOR CRUCIATE LIGAMENT RECONSTRUCTION

The aim of this study was to compare isometric strength asymmetry in participants that have previously undergone anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction and a healthy control group. Three-dimensional force data (1000 Hz) were collected from 21 ACL (3.2 ± 1.8 years post-surgery) and 21 control participants during maximal isometric contractions. Peak knee flexion force displayed significant asymmetry differences between groups, with ACL participants showing greater asymmetry (7.6 %) than the control group (0.1 %). No significant asymmetry differences were found between groups for peak extension, adduction and internal rotation force. Results suggest that following ACL reconstruction and rehabilitation, external force production during knee flexion is significantly less on the affected side than the uninjured side, which has implications on rehabilitation monitoring.
MEASURING ADDUCTOR MUSCLE ACTIVITY DURING PASSING AND 90°-CUTTING TO INVESTIGATE THEIR ROLE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF GROIN INJURIES

Cutting manoeuvres and inside passing are thought to increase the risk of groin injuries, but research provides only little information in this regard. The purpose of the study was to compare the muscle activation of gracilis and adductor longus during a 90°-cutting manoeuvre and inside passing. Thirteen male soccer players performed the two movements. Muscle activity was measured with surface electromyography. Cutting showed higher maximum activations compared to passing in all investigated muscles. Activation during passing was high when considering that it is a submaximal effort with high amounts of repetition during match and training. Cutting showed the highest adductor activity during movement phases requiring eccentric contraction. Therefore, both movements are likely to put high loads on the adductor muscles and thereby increase the risk of groin injuries.
Laser-micro-processing with ultrashort pulses using flexible beam delivery

Hollow core and kagome photonic crystal fibers offer the possibility to guide ultrashort laser pulses of high energy and average power. They could represent a valuable tool for the power transport from the laser source to the processing unit and would therefore facilitate the integration of ultrashort pulsed laser systems. Many works dealt with the characterization of such fibers concerning beam quality, transmission, polarization etc. when the fiber is in a static position. We combine such a fiber with a femtosecond laser system and our synchronized galvo scanner setup and investigate the influence of a dynamic movement of the fiber. Beside the characterization of the output beam we also demonstrate its influence onto the machining quality for the applications 3D-surface structuring and multi-pulse drilling on the fly. Especially the latter application should be very sensitive to any variations of the beam pointing and polarization. The experiments demonstrate the applicability of such fibers for its integration in an industrial environment for laser micro-processing.
Mature Mesophytic Hardwood Forest: Community Transitions, by Layer, from East‐Central Minnesota to Southeastern Michigan

Fragments of old-growth forest in which sugar maple (Acer saccharum) is a principal dominant, i.e., late-successional mesophytic forests, were sampled layer by layer across a floristic gradient from east-central Minnesota to southeastern Michigan, USA. This includes the northern Maple-Basswood region ("Big Woods" section) and northwestern Beech-Maple region as described by E. L. Braun (1950). All sampled areas were relatively undisturbed, at least 0.5 ha (surrounded on all sides by >30 m of forest), and occupied similar sites: deep, gently sloping, well-drained drift with high water-holding capacity. The object was (1) to determine whether the community importance of species that are common throughout the study area differs significantly from region to region, perhaps as a result of within-layer competition with species that are restricted floristically, but become important as soon as their ranges are entered (e.g., beech, Fagus grandifolia), and (2) to determine whether regional differences in tree composition correlate with regional differences in the composition of inferior layers. Regional differences in composition of mature trees tended to support Braun's earlier findings that "climax" forests on mesic sites west of the beech border are characterized by the prevalence of basswood (Tilia americana) as a codominant, but as soon as the beech border is crossed, beech is the principal codominant. Basswood ranked at least second in density in 70% of the Big Woods stands (mean density = 53.4 boles/ha), but in only 20% of the stands within the range of beech (mean density = 8.3 boles/ha), where beech ranked at least second in 73% of the stands (mean density = 42.0 boles/ha). Mean basal area of basswood was 14.0 m2/ha west of the beech border and 1.6 to the east, compared with 8.7 for beech. Basswood, in fact, attained about the same relative density (0.20) and basal area (0.36) averaged over all stands in the Big Woods as beech did within its range (i.e., 0.23 and 0.29, respectively). (Mean total density per stand in the two regions was 267 + 38 and 184 + 37 boles/ha; mean total basal area was 39.0 + 5.4 and 30.8 _ 4.6 m2/ha.) Regional differences in composition were not readily apparent when inferior layers (vascular plants <2 m tall) were sampled quantitatively, excluding rare species and species with restricted floristic distributions. When understories so defined were clustered according to several measures of species importance, broad overlap of stand groups resulted in each case. Overlap was often similar to that obtained when understories were clustered on the basis of species weightings randomly allocated to stands, that is, when the distribution of scores for each species is not changed, but scores are assigned to stands randomly. Key i'ords: Acer saccharum; association; basswood; beech; Beech-Maple region; climax; community classification; Fagus grandifolia; Maple-Basswood region; sugar maple; Tilia americana; uinderstorx.
Cannibalism in South African anchovy: egg mortality and egg consumption rates

Cannibalism by adult anchovy on their eggs was investigated within an area of intensive spawning over the Agulhas Bank by comparing estimates of daily per capita egg production and consumption of eggs derived from repeated sampling of plankton by CalVET net dips and offish by midwater trawl. Consumption of eggs over a 15-hour feeding period was estimated to have caused, on average, 70 per cent of the total egg mortality within the study area, although cannibalism was shown to be density-dependent.
TRADITIONAL MITIGATION MEASURES AND PRACTICES TO CLIMATE CHANGE IN ROMBO DISTRICT, TANZANIA

Mitigation to climate change has been treated as an issue in developed countries whereas adaptation is seen as a priority for the developing countries. The study assessed the effectiveness of traditional mitigation measures and practices to climate change in Rombo District, Tanzania. Data were collected by questionnaire, interview and focus group discussion. Results indicate that the majority of household heads had resorted to tree planting aimed at mitigating climate change. The study found that education, land size and funds were among the stumbling blocks toward effective traditional mitigation measures and practices to climate change. The study recommends involvement of local people in tree planting campaigns coupled with awareness creation on the sustainable climate change mitigation at local levels.
Late-spring and summertime tropospheric ozone and NO2 in western Siberia and the Russian Arctic: regional model evaluation and sensitivities

Abstract. We use a regional chemistry transport model (Weather Research and Forecasting model coupled with chemistry, WRF-Chem) in conjunction with surface observations of tropospheric ozone and Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) satellite retrievals of tropospheric column NO2 to evaluate processes controlling the regional distribution of tropospheric ozone over western Siberia for late spring and summer in 2011. This region hosts a range of anthropogenic and natural ozone precursor sources, and it serves as a gateway for near-surface transport of Eurasian pollution to the Arctic. However, there is a severe lack of in situ observations to constrain tropospheric ozone sources and sinks in the region. We show widespread negative bias in WRF-Chem tropospheric column NO2 when compared to OMI satellite observations from May–August, which is reduced when using ECLIPSE (Evaluating the Climate and Air Quality Impacts of Short-Lived Pollutants) v5a emissions (fractional mean bias (FMB) = −0.82 to −0.73) compared with the EDGAR (Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research)-HTAP (Hemispheric Transport of Air Pollution) v2.2 emissions data (FMB = −0.80 to −0.70). Despite the large negative bias, the spatial correlations between model and observed NO2 columns suggest that the spatial pattern of NOx sources in the region is well represented. Scaling transport and energy emissions in the ECLIPSE v5a inventory by a factor of 2 reduces column NO2 bias (FMB = −0.66 to −0.35), but with overestimates in some urban regions and little change to a persistent underestimate in background regions. Based on the scaled ECLIPSE v5a emissions, we assess the influence of the two dominant anthropogenic emission sectors (transport and energy) and vegetation fires on surface NOx and ozone over Siberia and the Russian Arctic. Our results suggest regional ozone is more sensitive to anthropogenic emissions, particularly from the transport sector, and the contribution from fire emissions maximises in June and is largely confined to latitudes south of 60∘ N. Ozone dry deposition fluxes from the model simulations show that the dominant ozone dry deposition sink in the region is to forest vegetation, averaging 8.0 Tg of ozone per month, peaking at 10.3 Tg of ozone deposition during June. The impact of fires on ozone dry deposition within the domain is small compared to anthropogenic emissions and is negligible north of 60∘ N. Overall, our results suggest that surface ozone in the region is controlled by an interplay between seasonality in atmospheric transport patterns, vegetation dry deposition, and a dominance of transport and energy sector emissions.
Contemporary outcomes of debridement, antibiotics and implant retention (DAIR) in hip arthroplasty

A debridement, antibiotic-treatment and implant-retention (DAIR) is a valuable surgical option in the treatment of hip periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). Although the indications for DAIR remain controversial, it should be considered in all hip PJI cases with a soundly fixed prosthesis, despite chronicity and type of implant. DAIR is associated with significant reduced cost and better patient reported outcomes compared to 2-stage revision. Variable success, defined as eradication of infection, has been reported following DAIR (14% to 100%) which is partly due to heterogeneity of the cohorts reported, the length of follow-up and the various definitions of success used. The success following DAIR has continuously improved since 2004, with a pooled mean chance of success of 72.2%. A number of variables have been associated with chances of success that need to be considered, when surgeons decide to proceed with a DAIR. Those can be broadly divided into patient-, PJI-, surgicaland antibiotic-related factors; all of which are covered in this review. It is our opinion that a DAIR can achieve PJI eradication in the majority of patients in the hands of experienced surgeons in specialised centres with a multi-disciplinary team approach. Exchange of modular components and thorough debridement are paramount.
