The Relationship Between Teachers Calling, Job Performance, and Organizational Commitment: The Mediating Role of Work-Related Flow Experience

Pu rp ose -Teachers ' work attitudes play an ess ential ro le in raising and ed ucating future generatio ns. This study aimed to investigate the effect of teachers' calling on job performance and organizational commitment and the mediating role of work-related flow experience on this effect.Design/methodology/approach-The data was collected throughproper surveys received from 377 teachers in Adana. The appropriate data's frequency analysis and factor analysis were done with SPSS 24.0 and SmartPLS 3.3. 9 programs, respectively. The Structural Equation Model (PLS-SEM) method was used to determine the path coefficients (hypotheses) and the mediating role of the model created at the second level. Findings-The results have shown that calling positively affects job performance, work-related flow experience, and organizational commitment. The work-related flow experience positively affects job performance and organizational commitment. While the partial mediating role of work-related flow experience in the relationship between calling and job performance was affirmed, the mediating role of work-related flowexperience in the relationship between calling and organizational commitment could not be confirmed.Discussion–Teachers with positive attitudes and behaviors towards their profession have trained qualified human resources in the educational system. Teachers who have a calling sense could experience work-related flow experience under suitable conditions, and this could positively affect both their job performance and organizational commitment. Therefore, a supportive environment with managerial and peer support should be created in schools for teachers to find their work more meaningful and increase their calling and work-related flow experiences.
Three-Phase Overvoltage Induced on Overhead Distribution Line 40 m from Rocket-Triggered Lightning

This article analyzes the three-phase lightning-induced voltages (LIVs)waveform on a 1513 m long overhead distribution line 40 m from rocket-triggered lightning, and the corresponding current and electric field data are given. The return stroke peak current ranges from 5.7 kA to 36.5 kA. The arithmetic mean(AM) and geometric mean(GM) of the return stroke current amplitude are 14.7 kA and 13.5 kA respectively. The peak-to-peak value range of the electric field waveform is 21.7 kV/m–130.9 kV/m. The observed electric field and voltage waveforms have similar waveform features. Among 35 LIVs, the peak-to-peak value range from 17.1 kV to 103.7 kV, and the negative peak value range from 2.3 kV to 16.7 kV. For these two parameters, the amplitude sequence is phase A > phase B > phase C. The positive peak value of the LIV is greater than the negative peak value, and the average reverse peak value ratio of the induced waveform is 345.6%. Besides, the results show that the negative peak, peak-to-peak, and half peak width time of the LIV have a good linear correlation with the corresponding electric field parameters.
Photoaging of phenolic secondary organic aerosol in the aqueous phase: evolution of chemical and optical properties and effects of oxidants

Abstract. While gas-phase reactions are well established to have significant impacts on the mass concentration, chemical composition, and optical properties of secondary organic aerosol (SOA), the aqueous-phase aging of SOA remains poorly understood. In this study, we performed a series of long-duration photochemical aging experiments to investigate the evolution of the composition and light absorption of the aqueous SOA (aqSOA) from guaiacyl acetone (GA), a semivolatile phenolic carbonyl that is common in biomass burning smoke. The aqSOA was produced from reactions of GA with hydroxyl radical (•OH-aqSOA) or a triplet excited state of organic carbon (3C∗-aqSOA) and was then photoaged in water under conditions that simulate sunlight exposure in northern California for up to 48 h. The effects of increasing aqueous-phase •OH or 3C∗ concentration on the photoaging of the aqSOA were also studied. High-resolution aerosol mass spectrometry (HR-AMS) and UV–Vis spectroscopy were utilized to characterize the composition and the light absorptivity of the aqSOA and to track their changes during aging. Compared to •OH-aqSOA, the 3C∗-aqSOA is produced more rapidly and shows less oxidation, a greater abundance of oligomers, and higher light absorption. Prolonged photoaging promotes fragmentation and the formation of more volatile and less light-absorbing products. More than half of the initial aqSOA mass is lost, and substantial photobleaching occurs after 10.5 h of prolonged aging under simulated sunlight illumination for 3C∗-aqSOA and 48 h for •OH-aqSOA. By performing positive matrix factorization (PMF) analysis of the combined HR-AMS and UV–Vis spectral data, we resolved three generations of aqSOA with distinctly different chemical and optical properties. The first-generation aqSOA shows significant oligomer formation and enhanced light absorption at 340–400 nm. The second-generation aqSOA is enriched in functionalized GA species and has the highest mass absorption coefficients in 300–500 nm, while the third-generation aqSOA contains more fragmented products and is the least light absorbing. These results suggest that intermediately aged phenolic aqSOA is more light absorbing than other generations, and that the light absorptivity of phenolic aqSOA results from a competition between brown carbon (BrC) formation and photobleaching, which is dependent on aging time. Although photoaging generally increases the oxidation of aqSOA, a slightly decreased O/C of the •OH-aqSOA is observed after 48 h of prolonged photoaging with additional •OH exposure. This is likely due to greater fragmentation and evaporation of highly oxidized compounds. Increased oxidant concentration accelerates the transformation of aqSOA and promotes the decay of BrC chromophores, leading to faster mass reduction and photobleaching. In addition, compared with •OH, photoaging by 3C∗ produces more low-volatility functionalized products, which counterbalances part of the aqSOA mass loss due to fragmentation and evaporation.
Exploring Autonomic Alterations during Seizures in Temporal Lobe Epilepsy: Insights from a Heart-Rate Variability Analysis

Epilepsy’s impact on cardiovascular function and autonomic regulation, including heart-rate variability, is complex and may contribute to sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). Lateralization of autonomic control in the brain remains the subject of debate; nevertheless, ultra-short-term heart-rate variability (HRV) analysis is a useful tool for understanding the pathophysiology of autonomic dysfunction in epilepsy patients. A retrospective study reviewed medical records of patients with temporal lobe epilepsy who underwent presurgical evaluations. Data from 75 patients were analyzed and HRV indices were extracted from electrocardiogram recordings of preictal, ictal, and postictal intervals. Various HRV indices were calculated, including time domain, frequency domain, and nonlinear indices, to assess autonomic function during different seizure intervals. The study found significant differences in HRV indices based on hemispheric laterality, language dominancy, hippocampal atrophy, amygdala enlargement, sustained theta activity, and seizure frequency. HRV indices such as the root mean square of successive differences between heartbeats, pNN50, normalized low-frequency, normalized high-frequency, and the low-frequency/high-frequency ratio exhibited significant differences during the ictal period. Language dominancy, hippocampal atrophy, amygdala enlargement, and sustained theta activity were also found to affect HRV. Seizure frequency was correlated with HRV indices, suggesting a potential relationship with the risk of SUDEP.

Cannabinoid-based medicines in clinical care of chronic non-cancer pain: an analysis of pain mechanism and cannabinoid profile

Aim: Among treatments for chronic non-cancer pain (CNCP), cannabinoid-based medicines (CBMs) have become extremely popular. Evidence remains modest and limited primarily to delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) for neuropathic pain; nevertheless, the use of various CBMs, including cannabidiol (CBD) to treat neuropathic, nociceptive, and mixed pain has increased globally. This observational case-series assessed the impact of CBMs as a complementary treatment by pain mechanism and cannabinoid profile over three months. Methods: An analysis of patients with CNCP and treated with CBMs who consented to an ongoing registry was performed. Outcomes were patient-reported such as the Edmonton symptom assessment system-revised, brief pain inventory-short form, and 36-item short form health survey. Data from patients with complete outcomes for baseline and 3-month follow-up was extracted. Characteristics of adverse drug reactions (ADRs), including a description of the suspected product were also assessed. Results: A total of 495 patients were part of this analysis (mean age = 56 years old; 67% women). At 3-month, the proportional use of THC:CBD balanced and THC-dominant products increased. Patients with neuropathic pain had higher pain-severity scores vs. nociceptive pain. In addition to patients with neuropathic pain, patients with nociceptive and mixed pain also reported improvements in pain severity and secondary symptoms such as anxiety, depression, drowsiness, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and overall, health-related quality of life. THC-dominant treatment is more likely to be recommended when pain is severe, whereas CBD-dominant is favored for less severe cases. ADRs were more frequent among cannabis-naive patients and included dizziness, headache, and somnolence among others. Conclusions: Findings suggest that CBMs can be effective for neuropathic as well as nociceptive and mixed pain. THC is more frequently recommended for neuropathic and severe pain. Future research on CBMs in pain management must include details of CBM composition, and pain mechanism and must consider potential ADRs.
The impact of personality traits on interpersonal dynamics at zero acquaintance 

The current study aimed to examine the relationship between personality traits and interpersonal states. Eighty undergraduate participants were administered personality trait inventories, then 40 dyads were video recorded doing collaborative tasks. These video recordings were coded for moment-to-moment communion and agency using Continuous Assessment of Interpersonal Dynamics. Actor-Partner Interdependence Modeling was used to understand the impact of personality traits on interpersonal dynamics (average, variability, slope, complementarity on agency and communion). The results showed that there were no relationships between personality traits and dynamics. There were two main limitations that may explain these results. First, behavior may have been influenced more by social norms to be friendly and take turns than personality traits, especially in this “strong situation”. Second, it may be useful to aggregate behavior over multiple situations to capture variance attributable to traits. Future studies should aggregate behavior over multiple situations and/or change the situational constraints on behavior in order to determine the relationship between states and traits.
A New Concept of the Effective Shear Modulus for a Plate Buckled in Shear

A new concept of the effective shear modulus is suggested for describing stiffness and strength of a plate in edge shear. This concept has quite similar advantages to the effective width, which has been recognized as an efficient approach for analysis of the post-buckling behavior of thin-walled members in compression. The theoretical background of the new idea is described, and based on results of the series analysis an empirical formula of the effective shear modulus for a simply supported rectangular plate is derived taking into account initial deflection effects. Using this formula, an ultimate shear strength formula of a plate is also suggested. The validity of the proposed formula is checked by comparison with the numerical results. It is concluded that the proposed idea will be quite useful if an effective shear modulus formula is successfully developed
Circular Geodesics and Phase Transitions of Charged Black Holes in AdS

The motion of neutral and charged test particles in the gravitational field of a Reissner-Nordstr\"{o}m black hole in Anti de Sitter space-time is investigated, concentrating on the case of circular orbits. A classification of circular orbits based on black hole parameters depending on charge Q, mass M and cosmological constant parameter $l$, together with charge to mass ratio $\epsilon=q/m$ of the test particles is presented. The analysis shows the presence of circular orbits at special limiting values, $M_{\rm cr}=4/\sqrt{6} Q$ and $l_{\rm cr}=6 Q$. Thermodynamically, these values are known to occur when the black hole is critical and on the verge of a second order phase transition. We also extend the correspondence of thermodynamics and phase transitions with the radius and impact parameter of circular geodesics, to the case of charged particles.
Shareholder or Investment Account Holder Interest: Which One Does Management of Islamic Banks Pay Attention to?

Governance and performance studies are often viewed from the perspective of shareholders, including in Islamic banks. However, the Investment Account Holders (IAH) are equally important stakeholders. Profit-sharing contracts, the absence of representation in the Annual General Meeting, and larger fund amount place the IAH at greater risk. In reality, the impact of governance should also prioritize protecting their interests. This study examines the effect of implementing corporate governance on the performance of Islamic banks from the perspective of shareholders and IAHs. This study tabulates data from the annual reports of 14 Indonesian Islamic banks. This research has found that Islamic bank governance has no effect on performance from the perspective of IAHs. On the other hand, governance can significantly influence performance from a shareholder perspective. From the perspective of stakeholder theory, these findings explain that Islamic banks have not made IAHs the main party to pay attention to. Business policies and strategies that are overseen by corporate governance have not had an impact on wider stakeholders. The IAHs in Islamic banks should also be categorized as key stakeholders.
An Insight into Mall-Integrated Language Learning Strategies of Good Language Learners

The dominance of English language around the world is enormous, and to become a competent and proficient student, it is essential to master all four language skills, particularly listening and speaking. English as a Second Language (ESL) learners can effectively acquire the language through Language Learning Strategies with technological advances. Good Language Learners could identify suitable Language Learning Strategies and utilize different learning strategies to master language skills successfully. This study, therefore, aimed to investigate the highly employed Language Learning Strategies by Year 6 ESL good language learners to enhance their listening and speaking abilities using Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL). This quantitative research collected data from 50 Primary advanced ESL learners from selected schools located in Melaka, Malaysia through the administration of a survey questionnaire consisting of 3 parts with 5 Likert scales. The data collected was then analysed using SPSS version 26 and descriptive statistics. The study's findings revealed that the highly preferred MALL-integrated Language Learning Strategies by the Good Language Learners in the clustered schools to enhance their listening skills are the memory-related and social strategies. They used social and metacognitive skills primarily as they engaged in and developed self-direction in their learning through the integration of MALL to improve their speaking capabilities. These outcomes could provide educators with helpful insights for assisting students' language skills development and encourage the adoption of MALL in ESL classrooms.
Corporate Board Diversity Effect on Environmental Sustainability Disclosure Evidence from Nigeria

The board of directors is responsible for making important decisions relating to corporate climate strategy. However, there is a possibility that their focus on minimizing agency costs may lead them to compromise environmental policies. This study aims to examine the impact of board diversity on the tendency that consumer goods firms listed in Nigeria will report on their environmental sustainability activities with a focus on a ten-year period (2011 to 2020). This study adopts ex-post facto research design using a population of twenty (20) consumer goods firms listed on the Nigerian Exchange Group's (NGX). A sample of 16 firms were selected through purposive sampling techniques and the data set which were sourced from published audited annual report were analysed using binary logistic regression analyses approach. The result reveal that CEO nationality have a positive significant effect on environmental disclosure suggesting that engaging the services of a foreign CEO can be leveraged upon in the determination of corporate goals that are associated with reducing the adverse effect of firm’s operation on the environment. The outcome is consistent with the stakeholders’ theory and reflects a sign of CEOs commitment to the demands and interests of stakeholders. In view of the foregoing, the study advocate for policies that that will accommodate hiring CEOs from different nationality. Such policies when implemented will give support to environmentally friendly discussions and deliberations which can translate to improved value for the firm. Such policy actions will be fundamental to maintaining good relationships with powerful stakeholders hence help avoid undue pressure from stakeholders.
Haze image enhancement based on space fractional-order partial differential equation

Based on good amplitude frequency characteristics and the spatial global correlation of fractional-order differential, an energy functional of haze image enhancement is established by taking fractional derivative on both sides of the atmospheric physics scattering model, and a haze image enhancement model based on space fractional-order partial differential equation is obtained by using steepest descent method. Based on fast wavelet transform, the low-frequency part of patch transmission and the high-frequency part of point transmission are fused to estimate the transmission. Finally, the numerical solution of the fractional-order partial differential equation is obtained by the finite difference method. The experimental results show that the algorithm can improve the contrast, brightness and clarity of the image, and it is an effective image enhancement method for haze images.
The Impact of Gender and Age in Obese Patients on Sternal Instability and Deep-Sternal-Wound-Healing Disorders after Median Sternotomy

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between age and sex in regard to the development of deep sternal wound infections and sternal instability following median sternotomy. Methods: A propensity-score-matching analysis was conducted on 4505 patients who underwent cardiac surgery between 2009 and 2021, all of whom had a BMI of ≥30 kg/m2. A total of 1297 matched pairs were determined in the sex group, and 1449 matched pairs we determined in the age group. The distributions of sex, age, diabetes mellitus, delirium, unstable sterna, wire refixation, wire removal, superficial vacuum-assisted wound closure, deep vacuum-assisted wound closure, clamp time, bypass time, logistic EuroSCORE, and BMI were determined. Results: The 30-day in-hospital mortality was found to be similar in the older and younger groups (8.149% vs. 8.35%, p = 0.947), and diabetes mellitus was also equally distributed in both groups. However, postoperative delirium occurred significantly more often in the older group (29.81% vs. 17.46%, p < 0.001), and there was a significantly higher incidence in men compared with women (16.96% vs. 26.91%, p < 0.001). There were no differences found in the incidence of sternum instability, fractured sternum, superficial vacuum-assisted wound closure, and deep vacuum-assisted wound closure between the age and sex groups. Conclusions: In conclusion, this study found that sternal instability and deep-wound-healing problems occur with equal frequency in older and younger patients and in men and women following median sternotomy. However, the likelihood of postoperative delirium is significantly higher in older patients and in men. These findings suggest that a higher level of monitoring and care may be required for these high-risk patient groups to reduce the incidence of postoperative delirium and improve outcomes following median sternotomy.
New model for acoustic waves propagating through a vortical flow

A new amplitude equation is derived for high-frequency acoustic waves propagating through an incompressible vortical flow using multi-time-scale asymptotic analysis. The reduced model is derived without an explicit spatial-scale separation ansatz between the wave and vortical fields. As a consequence, the model is seen to capture very well the features of the wave field in the regime where the spatial scales of the wave and vortical fields are comparable, a regime for which an optimal reduced model does not seem to be available.
