KAJIAN TERHADAP KEPUASAN KOMPENSASI, KOMITMEN ORGANISASI, DAN PRESTASI KERJA

The main objective of this research is to clarify the influence of employee satisfaction with compensation to organizational commitment and its impact to their job performance. The concept of compensation satisfaction consist of satisfaction with material compensation, social compensation and activity compensation. The concept of organizational commitment consists of three variables: loyalty to the organization, willingness to work hard and esprit de corps. The last concept, job performance includes skills in working. By using multiple regression analysis, the results of this research indicate that employee satisfaction with material and social compensation have significantly influenced employee loyalty, willingness to work hard and esprit de corps. Likewise, employee loyalty, willingness to work hard and esprit de corps also significantly influence the skill in working. Employee satisfaction with material and social compensation also significantly influence job performance directly. But, all the above variables show otherwise to employee satisfaction with activity compensation. Abstract in Bahasa Indonesia : Penelitian ini mempunyai tujuan untuk menjelaskan pengaruh dari kepuasan karyawan pada kompensasi terhadap komitmen pada organisasi serta dampaknya terhadap prestasi kerja karyawan.

Bayesian class-based language models

By capturing the intuition of “similar words appear in similar context”, the Class-based Language Model (CLM) has found success from research projects to business products. However, most CLMs make a simplifying assumption that one word belongs to one class, which models poorly the fact that many words have multiple senses thus should belong to multiple classes. We propose a Bayesian formulation of the CLM, where a many-to-many mapping between words and classes, i.e., soft-clustering, are naturally supported. A simple collapsed Gibbs sampler is provided to carry out the inference. Not only did we achieve a 22% relative reduction in perplexity on a Wall Street Journal corpus, but also reduced the word error rate of a state-of-the-art conversational telephony speech recognizer by 6% relative.

A Survey on Fusion Techniques forMultimodal Biometric Identification

Biometric is the science and technology of measuring and analyzing biological data of human body, extracting a feature set from the acquired data and comparing this set against to the template set in the database. Biometric systems based on single source of information are called unimodal biometric system. The performance of unimodal system is affected by noisy sensor data and non-universality [1]. Problems arised in the unimodal system can be resolved using multimodal biometric. Multimodal biometrics can be achieved through a fusion of two or more images, where the resultant fused image will be more secured. This paper discusses various fusion techniques that are used in multimodal biometrics.
In vivo tracking of T cells in humans unveils decade-long survival and activity of genetically modified T memory stem cells

Genetically engineered T memory stem cells preserve differentiation activity for decades after patient infusion. Sealing T cell fate Clinical trials are a relatively untapped source of experimental data that can be leveraged to explore both basic and pathological biology in humans. Now, Biasco et al. take advantage of two different gene therapy trials for inherited immunodeficiency to track in the long term T cell fate in humans. They find that the recently described T memory stem cells (TSCM) are able to persist and preserve their precursor potential in human recipients for up to 12 years after genetic correction and infusion into patients. The safety and long-term survival of these cells not only strengthen our knowledge of human immunology but also support the use of TSCM cells for adoptive immunotherapy. A definitive understanding of survival and differentiation potential in humans of T cell subpopulations is of paramount importance for the development of effective T cell therapies. In particular, uncovering the dynamics in vivo in humans of the recently described T memory stem cells (TSCM) would be crucial for therapeutic approaches that aim at taking advantage of a stable cellular vehicle with precursor potential. We exploited data derived from two gene therapy clinical trials for an inherited immunodeficiency, using either retrovirally engineered hematopoietic stem cells or mature lymphocytes to trace individual T cell clones directly in vivo in humans. We compared healthy donors and bone marrow–transplanted patients, studied long-term in vivo T cell composition under different clinical conditions, and specifically examined TSCM contribution according to age, conditioning regimen, disease background, cell source, long-term reconstitution, and ex vivo gene correction processing. High-throughput sequencing of retroviral vector integration sites (ISs) allowed tracing the fate of more than 1700 individual T cell clones in gene therapy patients after infusion of gene-corrected hematopoietic stem cells or mature lymphocytes. We shed light on long-term in vivo clonal relationships among different T cell subtypes, and we unveiled that TSCM are able to persist and to preserve their precursor potential in humans for up to 12 years after infusion of gene-corrected lymphocytes. Overall, this work provides high-resolution tracking of T cell fate and activity and validates, in humans, the safe and functional decade-long survival of engineered TSCM, paving the way for their future application in clinical settings.
PARASITE COMMUNITIES OF COMMON DOLPHINS (DELPHINUS DELPHIS) FROM PATAGONIA: THE RELATION WITH HOST DISTRIBUTION AND DIET AND COMPARISON WITH SYMPATRIC HOSTS

We studied the helminths of 18 common dolphins, Delphinus delphis, from northern Patagonia. Parasites were found only in the gastrointestinal tract. Four species were in the stomach, the nematode Anisakis simplex, the acanthocephalan Corynosoma cetaceum, and the digeneans Braunina cordiformis and Pholeter gastrophilus, plus 1 digenean in the hepatopancreatic ducts, Oschmarinella rochebruni. Infection levels were low (0–155 parasites). Braunina cordiformis and C. cetaceum were the most prevalent species. Anisakis simplex was mainly concentrated in the forestomach, B. cordiformis in the main stomach, and C. cetaceum in the pyloric stomach. Component diversity was low and component evenness was intermediate. Infracommunity diversity was also low, and the mean evenness was higher than at the component community level. Low prevalence in common dolphins is consistent with parasite assemblages of other cetaceans off Patagonia. None of the parasites found is specific to this host species within the study area. We suggest that potential prey are probably important in parasite transmission in this and other dolphins from the Patagonian region.
How do engaged employees stay engaged

The present literature review focuses on what employees can do to stay engaged. After defining enduring work engagement, we review the literature on state work engagement. In addition, we discuss research on the relationship between engagement on the one hand, and (a) job performance, (b) proactive behavior, and (c) job crafting on the other. Finally, we review the evidence for reciprocal relationships between work engagement and job and personal resources. We conclude that engaged employees take care of their own work engagement by proactively shaping their work environment. As a result, engaged employees do not only make full use of the available job resources, but they also create their own resources to stay engaged.
First-Price and Second-Price Auctions with Resale

We add a resale stage to standard auctions with two bidders. Bids are either kept secret or made public. Either the auction winner or the auction loser chooses the resale price. We characterize an infinity of equilibria of the second-price auction and a unique equilibrium of the first-price auction. For every equilibrium of an auction without bid disclosure, we construct an outcome-equivalent and, in the case of the second-price auction, “posterior implementable” equilibrium of the auction with bid disclosure. We compare the revenues from the two auctions and from the two bargaining procedures at resale
Understanding U.S. Farm Exits

The rate at which U.S. farms go out of business, or exit farming, is about 9 or 10 percent per year, comparable to exit rates for nonfarm small businesses in the United States. U.S. farms have not disappeared because the rate of entry into farming is nearly as high as the exit rate. The relatively stable farm count since the 1970s reflects exits and entries essentially in balance. The probability of exit is higher for recent entrants than for older, more established farms. Farms operated by Blacks are more likely to exit than those operated by Whites, but the gap between Black and White exit probabilities has declined substantially since the 1980s. Exit probabilities differ by specialization, with beef farms less likely to exit than cash grain or hog farms.
Cell Phones and Cattle: The Impact of Mobile Telephony on Agricultural Productivity in Developing Nations

This paper examines the impact of mobile telephony on productivity in developing nations. Previous studies have suggested that mobile phones have real impacts on economic outcomes in these countries. Using micro-data from Swaziland, Cambodia, and Honduras, this study looks to identify the effects of mobile phone ownership on household productive outcomes in a two-stage regression. The results provide significant evidence that mobile phone ownership does indeed improve productivity at the household level.
Detailed modeling for large scale wind power installations - a real project case study

This paper reports on the modeling issues performed related to a feasibility study to investigate the possibilities to connect the 640 MW off-shore wind power farm, planned for Krieger's Flak 30 km south of Trelleborg (Sweden), to the E.ON 130 kV subtransmission system. The aim of the entire study is to answer the question if such a connection is possible, and under what conditions; it is not meant as a design project. Following a general connection design discussion, the study comprises three major parts, fault current calculations, load flow calculations, and dynamic simulations. Concerning the modeling aspects, much effort has been put on details and scalability for the dynamic simulations.
The fallacy of one-dimensional theory of planned behaviour structure in predicting health behaviour

Most research on exercise is dominated in the West. Drawing on a socio-cognitive theory, this research aims at addressing methodological issues in an Eastern culture where recent developments of the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) applications have been limited. To answer the call for reinterpretation of the TPB measurement, we propose and test a more complex factor structure of TPB predictors. Cross-sectional data was collected from a quota sample of 512 adults in Malaysia. This study provides an empirical validation that the multidimensional, first-order model has achieved measurement validity and possesses better fit compared to the global, second-order TPB structure. Our investigation of the specific effects of social cognitive components on exercise intention and behaviour also improves the understanding of this theoretical relationship.
Structure and low-temperature thermal conductivity of pyrolytic boron nitride.

The microstructure and morphology of three samples of pyrolytic boron nitride deposited at different temperatures have been characterized with use of x-ray diffraction and thermal-conductivity measurements. The x-ray analysis allowed the determination of the mean interlayer spacing, the out-of-plane coherence length, and the crystallites preferred orientation. It revealed the presence of three distinct morphologies. The thermal conductivity was measured as a function of temperature in the range 1. 5 < T < 300 K. The temperature variations of the thermal conductivity were fitted by using a model previously developed for the analysis of the thermal conductivity of graphites and carbons. This fit allowed the determination of the in-plane coherence length. It also allowed the analysis of point-defect concentration and of the interlayer shear modulus. It is shown that low-temperature thermal-conductivity measurements may be used to complement x-ray diffraction data for the microstructural characterization of materials.
DAILY HEMODIALYSIS—SELECTED TOPICS: Short Daily Hemodialysis and Nutritional Status in Patients with Chronic Renal Failure

Malnutrition is a frequent complication in hemodialysis patients and is associated with increased mortality and morbidity. Interventions such as oral or intravenous nutritional supplements have often failed to improve nutritional status. We report here the effect that daily dialysis, practiced in our center since 1997, has had on nutritional parameters. Seventeen patients treated with conventional hemodialysis (4–5 hours, three times per week, for 9.6 ± 8.4 years) were converted to short daily hemodialysis (2–2.5 hours, six times per week, for a mean of 39.1 ± 23.5 months). Dietary, anthropometric, and biochemical evaluations were performed during conventional hemodialysis, after 1 year on short daily hemodialysis (sDHDyear), and at the end of follow‐up (sDHDend). Daily protein intake increased from 1.21 ± 0.27 g/kg/day with conventional hemodialysis to 1.51 ± 0.47 g/kg/day at sDHDyear and 1.51 ± 0.37 g/kg/day at sDHDend. Energy intake increased from 33.6 ± 9.5 kcal/kg/day to 38.3 ± 10.9 kcal/kg/day at sDHDyear and 39.4 ± 9.4 kcal/kg/day at sDHDend. The normalized protein equivalent nitrogen appearance (nPNA) increased from 1.19 ± 0.34 g/kg/day with conventional hemodialysis to 1.34 ± 0.43 g/kg/day sDHDyear and 1.37 ± 0.37 g/kg/day sDHDend. Biochemical indicators also increased: serum albumin increased from 40.2 ± 3.3 g/L to 44.5 ± 4.6 g/L and 45.1 ± 4.1 g/L, and prealbumin increased from 0.32 ± 0.06 g/L to 0.38 ± 0.09 g/L and 0.36 ± 0.09 g/L, respectively. These improvements were accompanied by an increase in body weight from 62.0 ± 10.6 kg on conventional hemodialysis to 64.3 ± 10.2 kg at sDHDyear and 65.5 ± 9.7 kg at sDHDend. All the changes between conventional hemodialysis and short daily hemodialysis were statistically significant. Increased frequency is more important than increased dialysis dose. Short daily hemodialysis appears to be a suitable method to improve nutritional status in dialysis patients.
Origin, Evolution and Functional Diversity of bHLH Gene Family: Insights from Comparative Genomics and Interactomics

The basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) proteins make up of a complex multigene family of transcription factors that play the important roles in many biological processes. Although much effort has been made on their functional roles, their evolutionary origin and functional diversity remain to be clarified. In this study, we compared genomes and interactomes of bHLH gene families from model organisms such as human, fly, worm, yeast and Arabidopsis to shed light on origin, evolution and functional diversity of this gene family, inferring that bHLHs might origin in prokaryotes and undergo divergence in different linage because of distinct evolutionary force.
Nuclear Energy: Balancing Benefits and Risks

The Council on Foreign Relations Special Report (CSR) on Nuclear Energy: Balancing Benefits and Risks was designed, in part, to provide a tutorial on nuclear energy issues. The report is written at a level appropriate for collegiate classes and some advanced high school courses. The report is not designed as a stand-alone text for a course but instead can be a useful supplementary text. These teaching notes offer suggestions for using the CSR in four types of courses:
Daily stressors in the lives of Sri Lankan youth: a mixed methods approach to assessment in a context of war and natural disaster

This paper describes the use of a mixed methods design to develop the Sri Lankan Children's Daily Stressor Scale (CDSS). It briefly describes its use in a study assessing the relative contribution of daily stressors on the one hand, and war and disaster exposure on the other, to young people's mental health and psychosocial wellbeing. The authors discuss the neglect of daily stressors; the stressful social and material conditions of everyday life in settings of armed conflict and natural disaster and offer a rationale for the importance of assessing daily stressors when seeking to understand and address mental health and psychosocial needs of conflict and disaster affected youth. A central focus of the paper is on the unique value of a mixed methods approach to contextually sound measure development.
HYBED: HYPERBOLIC NEURAL GRAPH EMBEDDING

Neural embeddings have been used with great success in Natural Language Processing (NLP) where they provide compact representations that encapsulate word similarity and attain state-of-the-art performance in a range of linguistic tasks. The success of neural embeddings has prompted significant amounts of research into applications in domains other than language. One such domain is graph-structured data, where embeddings of vertices can be learned that encapsulate vertex similarity and improve performance on tasks including edge prediction and vertex labelling. For both NLP and graph-based tasks, embeddings in high-dimensional Euclidean spaces have been learned. However, recent work has shown that the appropriate isometric space for embedding complex networks is not the flat Euclidean space, but a negatively curved hyperbolic space. We present a new concept that exploits these recent insights and propose learning neural embeddings of graphs in hyperbolic space. We provide experimental evidence that hyperbolic embeddings significantly outperform Euclidean embeddings on vertex classification tasks for several real-world public datasets.
Clinical Outcome of Minimally Invasive Repair of Pars Defect Using Percutaneous Pedicle Screws and Hook-Rod System in Adults with Lumbar Spondylolysis

Various techniques to directly repair a pars defect have been described. The aim of these procedures is to restore normal lumbar kinesiology, preserve a spinal motion segment and retain the associated spinal mobility. We have already reported a minimally invasive technique for the direct repair of a pars defect using a percutaneous pedicle screw system. This time, we report the clinical outcome obtained with this procedure. In all patients, both the Japanese Orthopedic Association score and pain assessed using a visual analogue scale improved postoperatively. Bony union was attained in 80% of the patients. Using this procedure, normalization of the lumbar kinesiology in terms of the instantaneous axis of rotation during lumbar extension/ flexion was attained. Also, it was possible to preserve the spinal motion segment and to retain lumbar spine mobility. Central Sairyo et al. (2014) Email: Ann Orthop Rheumatol 2(2): 1013 (2014) 2/5 elsewhere [12]. After making a 3-4 cm midline incision, the par vertebral muscles are separated from the lamina. Then, the defect is confirmed, and the fibro cartilage mass is removed from the defect. In the cases with LBP as well as leg pain due to the ragged edge around the pars defect, the ragged edge is respected to decompress the L5 nerve root (Case 3-6,8,9). Next, pedicle screws are inserted through 2-cm longitudinal incisions on both sides, 5 cm laterally from the midline incision. Prior to screwing, chancellor’s bone is harvested through the same lateral incision using a bone harvester. As the iliac crest is located close to the point of pedicle screwing, we can use the same lateral incisions. After the 2 screws are inserted, hooks are inserted into the caudal lamina and rods are inserted into the hole of the pedicle screws. Finally, the bone grafts are packed onto the defects. Clinical assessments All patients were evaluated using the Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) score, visual analogue scale (VAS) for low back pain and leg pain, operation time, intra operative blood loss, and complications. Radiographic measurements Bony union was confirmed by multi detector computed tomography (CT). From the lateral dynamic radiographs of the lumbar spine obtained preand post-operatively, inter vertebral motion of L5-S1, % slip of L5-S1, and instantaneous axis of rotation (IAR) were measured (Figure 1) [13].
