Emotional intelligence and its impact on Burnout and Happiness: A study on Police Officers of Chandigarh Police, India

Purpose: The research was carried out to investigate the relationship between emotional intelligence, burnout, and happiness on police officers of Chandigarh police, India. The difference between socio-demographic variables in retain to emotional intelligence of Chandigarh police officers was also studied. The human in “Khaki” is the one who toils for 24/7, just to maintain law and order and helps in making the citizen responsible toward their society. It is our duty to save the lives of the one who save us all. Design\Methodology\Approach : By judgemental sampling method, 120 police officers who were currently posted in Chandigarh, India, were selected for the study. The data was collected from survey method through standardised scale of different variables i.e., Wong and Law‟s (2002) scale of Emotional intelligence, Burnout by Maslach Burnout Inventory-GS, and Happiness by The Oxford Happiness Questionnaire (2002). Socio-demographic variables were analyzed by ANOVA and t-test. For relationship and impact among variables, Pearson correlation and Regression analysis were carried out. Findings: The results showed a significant positive relationship between emotional intelligence and happiness (r=.525)and a significant negative relationship between emotional intelligence and burnout (r=-.322). The study also finds out the significant difference between age and EI and experience of police officers and EI. Research limitations: The research is limited to only one union territory with limited sample size (n=120), so the results cannot be generalized to a larger extent. Practical implications: Achieving a high score in EI may hold a key to a greater happiness and helps in diminishing burnout level in police officers. Police departments should invest in promoting EI by implementing developmental programmes. Encourage employees to celebrate their free time with family and friends so that stress can be reduced. Originality value: The study offers value to police organization as it focuses on police officials, and explores their EI level and its subsequent effect on Burnout and on happiness.
Teaching Approaches Compatible with First-Year Accounting Student Teachers’ Learning Styles: Theoretical and Phenomenological Perspectives

Premised on the theoretical assumptions of social constructivism and multiple intelligences, the purpose of this study was to investigate teaching approaches which are compatible with the learning styles of first-year accounting student teachers from both theoretical and phenomenological perspectives. Being a predominantly conceptual study in nature, data was collected from a host of sources on learning styles, teaching approaches, social constructivism and multiple intelligences to adopt a theoretical position. Focus group interviews were then used to collect data from students to establish their phenomenological perspectives. To ensure the validity of data from these focus group interviews, triangulation, peer debriefing and member checking were used. The study established that while not all first-year accounting student teachers are able or do not prefer to learn everything in the same way, social constructivist centred approaches are highly compatible with most of the students’ learning styles. Based on literature verdicts and the phenomenological voices of students, the study recommends the application of the principles of social constructivism in accounting lesson presentations. It is also recommended that accounting lecturers should orchestrate all teaching and learning activities around student needs and their learning styles. Furthermore, the study findings provide a sound basis to recommend that students must always be at the centre of all teaching and learning, regardless of the pedagogical beliefs and preferred teaching approaches of the accounting lecturer.
Running Head: WITHIN-PERSON AND BETWEEN-PERSON MOTIVATION

Grounded in self-determination theory, this study examined the implications of differentiating 25 between within-person weekly changes and between-person differences in average levels of 26 autonomy support and internalized motivation for one’s self-esteem and self-efficacy. Thirty- 27 nine adults who were socially disadvantaged and unemployed completed weekly questionnaire 28 assessments over 11-weeks of a sports-based educational program. Multilevel modeling revealed 29 that within-person changes in perceptions of autonomy support positively predicted identified 30 regulation and introjected regulation; however, between-person differences in perceived 31 autonomy support predicted identified regulation only. Within-person changes in introjected 32 regulation positively predicted global self-esteem and self-efficacy towards future employment 33 in coaching; however, between-person differences in introjected regulation negatively predicted 34 self-esteem and self-efficacy. In contrast, within-person changes in identified regulation, as well 35 as between-person differences, were positively associated with self-efficacy. Between-person 36 differences in identified regulation also positively predicted self-esteem. It was also 37 demonstrated that many of these contrasting relationships are hidden if the different processes 38 are not disaggregated. As a result, we propose that different internalization processes exist which 39 depend on whether within-person changes or sustained levels of motivation are explored.
1 Corporate Tax Avoidance and Debt Costs *

We use path analysis to investigate how corporate tax avoidance is priced in bond yields and bank loan spreads. We find that approximately one half of the total effect of tax avoidance on bond yields is explained through the negative effect of tax avoidance on future pre-tax cash flow levels and volatility and, to a lesser extent, lower information quality. The effects of these mediating variables are much less pronounced for bank loan spreads. The results of additional cross-sectional analyses indicate that, relative to bond investors, banks are able to reduce information asymmetry problems more effectively, given their access to firms’ private information and greater ability to monitor borrowers.

Dr. Phillip Frost Department of Dermatology and Cutaneous Surgery, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, Miami, FL, USA Abstract: Lupus erythematosus (LE) is a chronic autoimmune condition with a wide spectrum of clinical presentations. Alopecias, both non-scarring and scarring, frequently occur in the context of LE and can assume several different patterns. Furthermore, alopecia occurring with LE may be considered LE-specific if LE-specific features are present on histology; otherwise, alopecia is considered non-LE-specific. Non-scarring alopecia is highly specific to systemic LE (SLE), and therefore has been regarded as a criterion for the diagnosis of SLE. Variants of cutaneous LE (CLE), including acute, subacute, and chronic forms, are also capable of causing hair loss, and chronic CLE is an important cause of primary cicatricial alopecia. Other types of hair loss not specific to LE, including telogen effluvium, alopecia areata, and anagen effluvium, may also occur in a patient with lupus. Lupus alopecia may be difficult to treat, particularly in cases that have progressed to scarring. The article summarizes the types of lupus alopecia and recent insight regarding their management. Data regarding the management of lupus alopecia are sparse and limited to case reports, and therefore, many studies including in this review report the efficacy of treatments on CLE as a broader entity. In general, for patients with non-scarring alopecia in SLE, management is aimed at controlling SLE activity with subsequent hair regrowth. Topical medications can be used to expedite recovery. Prompt treatment is crucial in the case of chronic CLE due to potential for scarring and irreversible damage. First-line therapies for CLE include topical corticosteroids and oral antimalarials, with or without oral corticosteroids as bridging therapy. Second and third-line systemic treatments for CLE include methotrexate, retinoids, dapsone, mycophenolate mofetil, and mycophenolate acid. Additional topical and systemic medications as well as physical modalities used for the treatment of lupus alopecia and CLE are discussed herein.

Mapping the Intellectual Structure of Linguistics Research Over 101 Years (1919–2020)

This article reviews 101 years (1919–2020) of research in the field of linguistics. The main objective of this paper was to analyze the published research and citations on linguistics and present the results from the perspective of growing trends, most productive and influential countries, organizations, authors, research journals, keywords, authorship patterns, and international collaborations. The subject category of linguistics selected in the Web of Science database, for this purpose, 6144 publications have been retrieved from the Web of Science database. This retrieved data is analyzed using visualization tools and dividing it into two phases on a temporal basis. Overall, the first phase, from 1919-1999, shows a lower number of research publications in linguistics, whereas the second phase (2000-2020) with 5585 publications and 41195 citations shows a significant growth in linguistics research. Among them, the highest number of publications is from the US that is followed by the UK. Noticeably, the consideration of the authorship of these researches indicates a strong preference for single authorship (with 3803 articles) in comparison to co-authorship (with only 1463 articles). On the basis of frequency-based keyword analysis, it is observed that the interaction of linguistics with other field s such as computer science, psychology, and the law has been particularly productive for the establishment of new subfields in linguistics which include computational linguistics, cognitive linguistics, and forensic linguistics.
Medication Prescription Practices for the Treatment of First Episode Schizophrenia-Spectrum Disorders: Data from the National RAISE-ETP Study

Objective— Treatment guidelines suggest distinctive medication strategies for first episode and multi-episode patients with schizophrenia. How much community clinicians adjust their usual treatment regimens for first episode patients is unknown. We examined prescription patterns and factors associated with prescription choice within a national cohort of early phase patients. Method— Study entry prescription data (before any influence on treatment by study procedures) were obtained from 404 participants in the RAISE-ETP study, a US nationwide effectiveness study conducted at 34 community treatment centers in 21 states for patients with first episode schizophrenia-spectrum disorders. Subjects had been treated with antipsychotics for 6 months or less at study entry. Results— We identified 159 subjects (39.4% of the sample) who might benefit from changes in their psychotropic prescriptions. Of these 159 subjects, 8.8% were prescribed recommended antipsychotics at higher than recommended doses, 32.1% were prescribed olanzapine (often at high doses), 23.3% more than one antipsychotic, 36.5% an antipsychotic but also an antidepressant without a clear indication, 10.1% psychotropic medications without an antipsychotic and 1.2% stimulants.
Efficient algorithms computing distances between Radon measures on R

In this paper numerical methods of computing distances between two Radon measures on R are discussed. Efficient algorithms for Wasserstein-type metrics are provided. In particular, we propose a novel algorithm to compute the flat metric (bounded Lipschitz distance) with a computational cost O(nlogn). The flat distance has recently proven to be adequate for the Escalator Boxcar Train (EBT) method for solving transport equations with growth terms. Therefore, finding efficient numerical algorithms to compute the flat distance between two measures is important for finding the residual error and validating empirical convergence of different methods.
Development of a technical process for the removal of pharmaceuticals in wastewater using melanin covered Escherichia coli

Pharmaceuticals are a big problem for municipal wastewater treatment plants today. There exist no readily available specific methods for treatment of incoming wastewater from dissolved pharmaceutical compounds and their metabolites. Although current techniques for wastewater treatment show some reduction, there is a continuous stream of pharmaceutical compounds released into the surrounding aquatic environments. Because of their stability this will result in a bio magnification whose future effects are difficult to assess. Although some horrifying effects have already been reported by the literature. The focus of this project have been on developing a continuous process for the reduction of pharmaceutical compounds from water and the concept has been validated by the treatment of an incoming stream of water with a known concentration of the heterocyclic pharmaceutical chloroquine. The process involves melanin covered E. coli-bacteria. Melanin has been shown to bind to pharmaceutical compounds as well as other compounds such as heavy metals, which is why melanin covered E. coli bacteria can be used as adsorbents.

Pattern of Musculoskeletal Pain and Associated Factors among Small Scale Rice Farmers in Jigawa State, Nigeria

Introduction: Farming could predispose an individual to developing musculoskeletal pain (MSP). This study investigated the pattern of MSP and associated factors among small scale rice farmers in Jigawa State. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional survey, 552 peasant rice farmers were purposefully recruited from three Local Government Areas of Jigawa State, Nigeria. MSP was assessed with Standardized Nordic Questionnaire (Modified). The associations between MSP, work related factors and demographic characteristics of participants were analysed with Chi-square and Fisher’s exact tests at significance level of 0.05 Result: Low back and knee joints pains were the most commonly reported MSP. Association exist between gender and each of hip joint pain (P<0.05) and elbow joint pain (P<0.05). There was association between neck pain and prolong daily hours of rice farming (P<0.05). Age and years of farming have no association with MSP (p>0.05). Conclusion: Low back pain is common among rice farmers in Jigawa State. Prolong daily hours of rice farming is associated with development of MSP.
IN VITRO STUDIES ON THE PROTECTIVE EFFECT OF VITAMIN C AGAINST MALATHION INDUCED TOXICITY IN THE GOAT (

During the present investigations protective effect of vitamin C on Malathion induced toxicity has been analysed in ampulla region of goat. In vitro cultured oviduct tissue treated with two doses of Malathion concentration (1nm, 100 nm) shows a significant disruption of mucosa and submucosal layers, damage of mucosal folds, degeneration of microvilli, blebbing in mucosa and increase in the width of lumen of oviduct. In contrast, supplementation with Vitamin C reduces oviduct damage by Malathion. The importance of carrying out in vitro reproductive toxicology assays lies on the need of knowing alteration which these insecticides may cause at cellular level, since they are endocrine disruptors that interfere with reproductive function.
Dielectric and Piezoelectric Properties of Ta-modified (K0.53Na0.47)(Nb0.8Ta0.2)O3 Ferroelectric Ceramics

Ta-substituted Na0.53K0. 475Nb0.8Ta0. 2O3 ceramics were prepared through the solid-state reaction method. The crystallized single phases were confirmed by X-ray diffraction. The temperature dependences of the dielectric and piezoelectric properties were investigated. Ta substitution in Na0.5K0. 5NbO3 enhanced the piezoelectric property, and the corresponding piezoelectric coefficient was estimated to be d33 = 160 pC/N. With increasing temperature, the planar electromechanical coupling coefficient (kp ) increased linearly up to the orthorhombic-tetragonal phase-transition temperature (TO-T ) and decreased as the temperature comes closer to the Curie temperature (Tc ).
Establishing a datum point at the crime scene using a single GPS device: detecting and minimizing error in a simulated case example

Summary The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a standard tool for establishing a datum point at the outdoor crime scenes that lack fixed objects or landmarks. However, GPS is prone to multiple errors that occur with a different intensity in different time intervals and degrade the accuracy of the positioning. In the present simulated case, we have examined the error of establishing a position using a single hand-held GPS unit, as well as the efficiency of reducing the error by averaging multiple coordinates collected at the same spot through the time. The results have shown great variations between the actual position and position obtained by GPS through collection time, demonstrating that a single GPS reading is not a reliable tool for establishing an accurate datum point in a forensic context. However, when a sufficient number of fixes is averaged, periodical variations of GPS error less affect accuracy, and error linearly decreases. To minimize the error of positioning in forensic cases, we suggest developing a model for GPS application that considers the acceptable degree of error, available equipment, the specificity of the crime scene location and defining a detailed workflow for reducing the error with the averaging method.
Employees’ Perception towards the Business Advantages of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Initiatives of Ethiopian Brewery Industry

CSR, being focused more on customers and other related communities has generated a gap in finding and perceiving the business advantages by its own employees. The main objective of the study is to examine the perceived business advantages that the businesses have on account of implementing CSR programs from employees’ perspectives. The descriptive cross sectional design with a survey method was used to serve the purpose of this study. The research was carried out with the sample consisting of five major brewery firms by drawing a sample of 429 respondents through convenience sampling. This study has concluded that adopting CSR behavior in brewery firms will offer the advantages to the industry with a significant development and betterment in market share, brand image, greater turnover/profit, sales, community relations, public image/reputation, new customers, customer loyalty, competitive advantage, quality employees, employees’ loyalty and retention, employees’ morale and motivation, access to capital, and minimized regulatory problems/restrictive regulations, This study suggests that brewery firms in Ethiopia should think strategically to exploit the opportunities of socially responsible practices.
Population Density and the Local Economy pre- and post-Pandemic Breakout

This paper presents a spatial equilibrium search model that explains skill premium and unemployment rate disparities between high and low population density locations. This framework features a knowledge-based agglomeration economy that draws high-skilled workers together. With the benefits of this concentration being reflected in high-skilled workers’ salaries and with these workers’ increased consumption of local goods and services, more densely populated locations end up with higher wage premium and lower unemployment rates, matching the findings in the data. Moreover, given the post-pandemic trend for increasing remote work (RW), the model can explain the pattern reversal in unemployment rate during 2020 with the help of a relocation exercise where 6.6% of high-skilled workers relocate from the high to low population density regions. Conditional on the permanence of these remote working conditions, the model’s results call for a revisiting of place-based policies that focus on attracting high-skilled jobs in an area.

Credit Crunches with Recursive Preferences

Recursive preferences have substantial effects on household behavior. In an otherwise standard model of incomplete markets and heterogeneous agents we establish two general results. First, when properly calibrated, our baseline model with recursive preferences can fit U.S business cycle moments and be in line with the predictions of the von Neumann-Morgenstern (VNM) expected-utility framework. Second, a shock of identical size is shown to dampen households’ response compared to the model in which leisure and consumption enter the utility in an additive separable fashion. This is because risk aversion and intertemporal substitution are distinct structural parameters, and allowing the former to take on large values we are able to generate substantial swings in consumer behavior. Our model also lends itself to the intersection of macroeconomics and finance, as it facilitates the investigation of asset returns and the potential resolution of the equity premium and risk free rate puzzles.
