Narcissistic leadership and voice behavior: the role of job stress, traditionality, and trust in leaders

This study aims to investigate the impact of narcissistic leadership on employee voice behavior from the perspective of job stress, trust in leaders and traditionality in China. ,The authors conducted a survey on 437 employees to assess their narcissistic leadership in Time 1. In Time 2, they measured their job stress, trust in leaders and traditionality. In Time 3, they assessed the voice behavior of these employees. ,Narcissistic leadership correlates positively with employees’ job stress, which mediates between narcissistic leadership and employee voice behavior. Trust in leaders negatively moderates the correlation between job stress and employee voice behavior, as well as moderates the mediation effect of job stress on the correlation between narcissistic leadership and employee voice behavior. In addition, traditionality positively moderates the correlation between job stress and employee voice behavior, as well as moderates the mediation effect of job stress on the correlation between narcissistic leadership and employee voice behavior. ,This study establishes the impact of narcissistic leadership on employee behavior from the perspective of job stress, trust in leaders and traditionality.
Monetary Policy Transmission in Emerging Markets and Developing Economies

Central banks in emerging and developing economies (EMDEs) have been modernizing their monetary policy frameworks, often moving toward inflation targeting (IT). However, questions regarding the strength of monetary policy transmission from interest rates to inflation and output have often stalled progress. We conduct a novel empirical analysis using Jordà’s (2005) approach for 40 EMDEs to shed a light on monetary transmission in these countries. We find that interest rate hikes reduce output growth and inflation, once we explicitly account for the behavior of the exchange rate. Having a modern monetary policy framework—adopting IT and independent and transparent central banks—matters more for monetary transmission than financial development.
INTEGRATION OF CUSTOM STREET VIEW AND LOW COST MOTION SENSORS

Virtual reality is an artificial computer-generated environment generally referred as virtual reality environment which can be navigated and interacted with by a user. Street View, which was released by Google in 2007, is an ideal tool to discover places and locations. This service doesn’t only provide spatial information, but also a virtual reality environment for the user. Since this service is only available in certain locations, Google enables users to create a street view with custom panoramic images with the help of Google Maps Application Programming Interface (API) for JavaScript. In this study, it is aimed to integrate body motions with a custom created street view service for Yildiz Technical University Davutpasa Campus which has a historical environment and huge places to discover. Microsoft Kinect for Xbox 360 motion sensor along with Flexible Action and Articulated Skeleton Toolkit (FAAST) interface has been employed for this purpose. This integration provides a low-cost alternative for virtual reality experience. The proposed system can be implemented for virtual museums, heritage sites or planetariums consisting of panoramic images.
Porous Titanium Cylinders Obtained by the Freeze-Casting Technique: Influence of Process Parameters on Porosity and Mechanical Behavior

The discrepancy between the stiffness of commercially pure titanium and cortical bone tissue compromises its success as a biomaterial. The use of porous titanium has been widely studied, however, it is still challenging to obtain materials able to replicate the porous structure of the bones (content, size, morphology and distribution). In this work, the freeze-casting technique is used to manufacture cylinders with elongated porosity, using a home-made and economical device. The relationship between the processing parameters (diameter and material of the mold, temperature gradient), microstructural features and mechanical properties is established and discussed, in terms of ensuring biomechanical and biofunctional balance. The cylinders have a gradient porosity suitable for use in dentistry, presenting higher Young’s modulus at the bottom, near the cold spot and, therefore better mechanical resistance (it would be in contact with a prosthetic crown), while the opposite side, the hot spot, has bigger, elongated pores and walls.
Etiology of Adult Missionary Kid (AMK) Life-Struggles

Research suggests that many adult children of missionaries have ongoing life-struggles. Explanations for the etiology of AMK struggles provide underpinnings for interventions by a growing professional community of those ministering to missionary kids (MKs). A survey questionnaire was administered to 101 Wycliffe AMKs, testing hypotheses associated with two models: (1) a psychological model hypothesizing that high levels of AMK life-problems result from high levels of childhood trauma, and (2) an anthropological model hypothesizing that high levels of AMK life-problems result from a lack of relevant cultural competencies as MKs enter their parents' home country. It was found that while childhood trauma was predictive of life-struggle, trauma items distinctive of MK experience (such as frequent separations) were not predictive of adult-problems, while other forms of trauma (abuse) which are predictive of life-struggle apparently do not occur at higher rates for MKs than for others. Research results did provide support for the hypothesis that a lack of relevant cultural competencies in U.S. culture at the time of entry to the U.S. was predictive of life-problems. Practical and research implications of these findings are discussed.
Understanding the healthcare communication needs of pediatric patients through the My CHATT tool: A pilot study

ABSTRACT Background: Communication is considered a key indicator for high-quality patient- and family-centered healthcare. However, few studies have assessed pediatric preferences for healthcare communication. This pilot study aimed to increase the understanding of pediatric communication preferences, and develop a patient- and family-informed clinical tool (i.e. My CHATT) that can be quickly disseminated and easily implemented. Methods: Qualitative thematic methods via focus group and survey research were employed. Common themes discussed during separate patient (N = 4; ages 16–22) and parent (N = 5) focus groups guided the development of My CHATT. Healthcare providers (n = 9) also completed a 10-minute interview and questionnaire to aid in the development of this tool. Results: Thematic analysis revealed that patients strongly desired to be involved in communication, but stated that providers and parents rarely engaged in direct communication with them. Parents expressed discomfort regarding direct provider communication with their child. Both parents and patients desired personalized encounters with their healthcare team. Providers reported a high likelihood of using My CHATT in the clinical practice, and felt their communication approaches with patients would change as a result of using this tool. Conclusion: My CHATT was successfully developed in collaboration with pediatric patients, parents, and healthcare providers. My CHATT is a quick and easy to administer tool which is expected to improve personalized healthcare communication encounters.
Application of extended theory of planned behavior model to ecological behavior intentions in the food and beverage service industry

ABSTRACT This study examined the relationships between environmental concern, the three main constructs of theory of planned behavior (TPB), two extended constructs (psychological ownership of the company and sense of responsibility) and employee behavioral intention to implement environmental measures. A questionnaire designed for restaurant employees was used to measure identified indicators. Structural equation modeling was chosen for hypothesis testing. Our results indicated that the three TPB constructs and one psychological trait (sense of responsibility) mediated the relationship between environmental concern and behavioral intention. Employee psychological ownership of a company was verified to exert a positive effect on employee behavioral intention. However, the findings cannot be applied to F&B settings in general since the study was restricted to Chinese restaurants identified.
One-Dimensional Markov-Functional Models Driven by a Non-Gaussian Driver

The class of Markov-functional models (MFMs) provides a framework that can be used to define interest-rate models of finite dimension calibrated to any arbitrage-free formula for caplet or swaption prices. Because of their computational efficiency, one-factor MFMs are of particular interest. So far, the literature has focused on models driven by a Gaussian process. The aim of this paper is to move away from this Gaussian assumption and to provide new algorithms that can be used to implement an MFM driven by a more general class of one-dimensional diffusion processes. We provide additional insight into the role of the driving process by presenting a simple copula-based criterion that can be used to distinguish between models. Finally, we offer further insight into the dynamics of one-dimensional MFMs by relating them to separable local-volatility Libor market models and demonstrate this with a practical example. <br>
Reaction Initiation in Enzyme Crystals by Diffusion of Substrate

Ever since the first structure of an enzyme, lysozyme, was solved, scientists have been eager to explore how these molecules perform their catalytic function. There has been an overwhelmingly large body of publications that report the X-ray structures of enzymes determined after substrate and ligand binding. None of them truly show the structures of an enzyme working freely through a sequence of events that range from the formation of the enzyme–substrate complex to the dissociation of the product. The technical difficulties were too severe. By 1969, Sluyterman and de Graaf had pointed out that there might be a way to start a reaction in an enzyme crystal by diffusion and following its catalytic cycle in its entirety with crystallographic methods. The crystal only has to be thin enough so that the diffusion is not rate limiting. Of course, the key questions are as follows: How thin should the crystal be? Will the existing X-ray sources be able to collect data from a thin enough crystal fast enough? This review shines light on these questions.
Gamification based mobile application as learning media innovation for basic programming lessons

Basic Programming is a productive subject in the study of ICT Vocational High School programs that require students to develop information systems in accordance with the times. Lack of applicative material in basic programming subjects is a problem that is often encountered so that the level of critical thinking of students is less than optimal. In addition, the level of student interest in these subjects is less than optimal because of the monotonous implementation of learning. The solutions offered through this study aim to produce gamification-based mobile applications as innovative and communicative learning media. The development method used is the ADDIE model (Analyze, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation). The result shows the total usability level is in 81.75%. Material validation shows the results in 88.89% and validation from media experts is 80.83%. Test results on the small group trial subjects shows 84.4% valid and the large group 85.22% valid. Based on the results of product usability testing and field trials, it can be concluded that the product is suitable for use as a medium in the learning process. The concept of gamification in this media also increases the attractiveness and motivation of users in order to obtain maximum testing results.
Learning hash codes for multimedia retrieval

The explosive growth of multimedia data in online media repositories and social networks has led to the high demand of fast and accurate services for large-scale multimedia retrieval. Hashing, due to its e↵ectiveness in coding high-dimensional data into a low-dimensional binary space, has been considered to be e↵ective for the retrieval application. Despite the progress that has been made recently, how to learn the optimal hashing models which can make the best trade-o↵ between the retrieval e ciency and accuracy remains to be open research issues. This thesis research aims to develop hashing models which are e↵ective for image and video retrieval. An unsupervised hashing model called APHash is first proposed to learn hash codes for images by exploiting the distribution of data. To reduce the underlying computational complexity, a methodology that makes use of an asymmetric similarity matrix is explored and found e↵ective. In addition, the deep learning approach to learn hash codes for images is also studied. In particular, a novel deep model called DeepQuan which tries to incorporate product quantization methods into an unsupervised deep model for the learning. Other than adopting only the quadratic loss as the optimization objective like most of the related deep models, DeepQuan optimizes the data representations and their quantization codebooks to explores the clustering structure of the underlying data manifold where the introduction of a weighted triplet loss into the learning objective is found to be e↵ective. Furthermore, the case with some labeled data available for the learning is also considered. To alleviate the high training cost (which is especially crucial given a large-scale database), another hashing model named Similarity Preserving Deep Asymmetric
Understanding Cross-cultural Supervision in the Creative Arts Therapies: A systematic Review of the Literature

Cross-cultural and/or multicultural issues and considerations are increasingly becoming more relevant to the creative arts therapies’ practice and supervision. This systematic literature review aimed to investigate the existing body of cross-cultural/multicultural supervision literature in the fields of music therapy, art therapy, drama therapy, and dance movement therapy, as well as to identify the gaps in the knowledge. English-language literature published between 2000 and 2015 was examined to ascertain its relevance to the cross-cultural issues and challenges that exist within supervision of supervisors and supervisees with racial/ethnic differences. A search strategy that included a review of electronic databases and grey literature, as well as hand searching of journals and edited books was undertaken. Fourteen sources were identified as providing valuable information related to cross-cultural/multicultural supervision: seven music therapy; three art therapy; one drama therapy; and three dance movement therapy publications. Review of the identified sources indicated that cultural differences had an impact on the process and the relationship in the cross-cultural supervision. Furthermore, these differences may provide opportunities for enhanced understanding and awareness of cultural backgrounds, biases, and assumptions of supervisors and supervisees through sharing and open discussions. Findings also suggested the need for future research in the general topic of cross-cultural supervision in the creative arts therapies fields. This review offers an accessible resource for creative arts therapists to existing cross-cultural supervision resources, where they can assess the current state of the literature and better understand the complex dynamics of cross-cultural supervision experiences.
A Model-Based Systems Engineering Approach for the Efficient Specification of Test Rig Architectures for Flight Control Computers

The validation, verification, and integration of flight control computers (FCC) for today's increasingly complex flight control systems are generally on the critical path in aircraft development programs. Therefore, the test rig for the FCC, being a complex system itself, needs to be developed in a very short timeframe, starting the specification with many uncertainties about the system under test. This article presents a model-based system engineering (MBSE) methodology for the efficient specification of test rigs for FCCs. A systematic analysis of the prevailing common elements and variability in test rigs is presented. This analysis translates into a generic and reusable specification framework allowing the efficient and effective specification of new test rigs. The proposed MBSE approach covers operational and functional needs analysis and generic logical and physical architecture modeling at two levels of detail. A variant management capability is implemented to manage the different types and configurations of test rigs. This article closes a gap in the literature about test rig specification for modern FCC and contributes to the maturation of MBSE approaches and their practical implementation in the industry context.
FIDO‐SIT: The First Forward Model for the In Situ Magnetic Field of CME‐Driven Sheaths

We have shown previously that the in situ magnetic field of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) can be well reproduced by simple, physics‐driven flux rope models using the ForeCAT In situ Data Observer (FIDO, Kay et al., 2017). Here, we show that a similar approach can be taken to forward model the shock and sheath of a CME (Sheath Induced by Transient [SIT]). We develop a relation between the downstream density and magnetic field strength that only depends on the upstream properties and downstream speed. Next, we establish a set of well‐observed CME‐driven shocks combining results from several online catalogs. We establish a baseline using the observed downstream speed and show that the mean absolute errors only increase slightly to 3.4 cm −3 and 3.8 nT when using a predicted downstream velocity. We also develop a model for the sheath duration or the standoff distance of the CME‐driven shock. While there is certainly room for improvement, our model does perform better than those currently available, reducing the error from 7.0 to 4.6 hr. We couple our flux rope and sheath models as FIDO‐SIT and present results for four observed cases. For three of the four cases, FIDO‐SIT reproduces the sheath magnetic field with an error of one third the total magnitude for each individual vector component.
Artificial Intelligence: The Ambiguous Labor Market Impact of Automating Prediction

Recent advances in artificial intelligence are primarily driven by machine learning, a prediction technology. Prediction is useful because it is an input into decision-making. In order to appreciate the impact of artificial intelligence on jobs, it is important to understand the relative roles of prediction and decision tasks. We describe and provide examples of how artificial intelligence will affect labor, emphasizing differences between when the automation of prediction leads to automating decisions versus enhancing decision-making by humans.
Treatment of Intractable Orbital Implant Exposure with Scleral Melting By Secondary Implant of Dermis Fat Graft-A Case Report

A 30 year old female with absolute glaucoma status post-evisceration developed recurrent orbital implant exposure and scleral melting. We successfully treated the large conjunctiva defect by utilizing secondary implant of dermis fat graft for tissue growth and tension-free conjunctiva closure. The patient was satisfied with the postoperative outcome, and no major complications were observed in the following six months. Age and underlying disease may both be associated with dermis fat graft properties. Our case demonstrates that secondary dermis fat implantation is an effective method for treatment of exposed orbital implants and empty sockets after extrusion of an orbital implant.

On the eﬀects of the ﬁnancialization of private utilities: lessons from the UK water sector

This paper analyzes the quantitative impact of the growing role of non-traditional ﬁnancial actors, in particular institutional investors, in the ﬁnancing structure and consumer pricing of regulated private utilities. The focus is on the water sector in England and Wales, where the eﬀect of the ﬁrms’ corporate ﬁnancing strategies on key outcome variables may have been underestimated. The analysis is based on a staggered diﬀerence-in-diﬀerences estimation of the impacts of the evolution of the ownership of the assets, namely an increased participation of institutional investors, on leveraging and water pricing decisions. It shows a statistically signiﬁcant positive impact on leverage levels and average consumer prices.
