Effects of Demographic Factors, Compensation, Job Satisfaction on Organizational Commitment (A Study on the Inspectorate Office of Merauke and Boven Digoel Regency)

DOI: https://doi.org/10.33258/biohs.v4i2. 648 Abstract: This study aimed to determine the effect of demographic factors and compensation on organizational commitment mediated by job satisfaction. This was a quantitative study using a causal analysis. The research instrument was a questionnaire with a five-point Likert scale. The research samples consisted of 109 employees of the Inspectorate Office of Merauke and Boven Digoel Regency. The data were analyzed using the SEM-PLS method. The results showed that demographic factors had a negative effect on organizational commitment and compensation, but did not have a significant effect on job satisfaction. On the other hand, compensation had a positive and significant effect on job satisfaction and organizational commitment. Similarly, job satisfaction also had a positive and significant effect on organizational commitment. Compensation can mediate the relationship between demographic factors with organizational commitment and job satisfaction. Job satisfaction can mediate the relationship between compensation with organizational commitment, but cannot mediate the relationship between demographic factors with organizational commitment.
Optimizing F-Measures : A Tale of Two Approaches

We shall often drop θ from the notations whenever there is no ambiguity. Proof for Lemma 1. By the law of large numbers, for any 1 > 0, η > 0, there exists an N (depending on 1 and η only) such that for all n > N , for any i, j P(|p ij,n − p ij | < 1) > 1 − η/3, (1) Note that only p ij,n is a random variable in the above inequality. Using the union bound, it follows that with probability at least 1 − η, the following hold simultaneously ,
On the feasibility and challenges of synthesizing executable Espresso tests

Several tools have been proposed to automatically test Android applications, achieving outstanding results in terms of both code coverage and crash discovery. While useful for crash reproduction and bug-fixing, these tools usually do not present the generated interactions in a format that motivates developers to read and modify such tests later on. This hinders the ability of developers to add those tests to their existing test suites, or adapt them to new scenarios- common practices in modern software development where tests are maintained and evolve alongside production code. In this work we present an empirical study on the challenges of automatically synthesizing Espresso test suites from sequences of interactions over widgets. We build on top of the MATE testing tool and implement a prototype that enables this study. The prototype is then evaluated on 12 open-source Android apps, followed by an analysis and discussion of challenges and limitations. We also include feedback from developers of open-source projects and an industrial app. Our empirical study shows that the creation of Espresso tests is difficult, mostly due to the lack of unique properties to unambiguously identify specific widgets in the UI. This problem is aggravated in some cases by the incomplete or ambiguous definition of GUI components and layouts. It also points out that further research is needed to find ways to improve the testability of Android apps either manually or automatically. Nonetheless, the feedback received indicates that the synthesized Espresso tests are still useful for projects with few or no test cases, serving as a starting point for creating new ones.

An empirical study of privacy labels on the Apple iOS mobile app store

Privacy labels provide an easy and recognizable overview of data collection practices adopted by mobile apps developers. Specifically, on the Apple App Store, privacy labels are displayed on each mobile app's page and summarize what data is collected by the app, how it is used, and for what purposes it is needed. Starting from the release of iOS version 14.3 developers are required to provide privacy labels for their applications. We conducted a large-scale empirical study, collecting and analyzing the privacy labels of 17, 312 apps published on the App Store, to understand and characterize how sensitive data is collected and shared. The results of our analysis highlight important criticalities about the collection and sharing of personal data for tracking purposes. In particular, on average free applications collect more sensitive data, the majority of data is collected in an unanonimyzed form, and a wide range of sensitive information are collected for tracking purposes. The analysis provides also evidence to support the decision-making of users, platform maintainers, and regulators. Furthermore, we repeated the data collection and analysis after seven months, following the introduction of additional run-time tracking controls by Apple. Comparing the two datasets, we observed that the newly introduced measures resulted in a statistically significant decrease in the number of apps that collect data for tracking purposes. At the same time, we observed a growth in overall data collection.
Charging for collaboration

The development of a suitable public charging system for electric vehicles relies on inputs from many complementary organizations that need to synchronize interdependencies across different activities, organizations, and industries. Research on temporal fit has focused on synchronizing activities within or external to the organization, rather than exploring synchronization across multiple organizations with highly interdependent yet colliding temporal structures and multiple time-givers. Drawing on a case study of a collaborative effort to create a national charging infrastructure for electric vehicles, we theorize the interplay between various highly interdependent actors. The resulting theory posits that actors combine and shift between different innovation practices to organize time and explains how multiple, yet interdependent actors engaging in temporal work attempt to accomplish temporal fit. Three entrainment dynamics are identified: (1) temporal tug-of-war through ecosystem configuration; (2) temporal dictating through group politics; and (3) ecosystem navigation through temporal ambivalence. These dynamics arise both between and within groups of actors when they coordinate innovation practices across multiple temporal structures and time-givers. Together, the simultaneous pursuit of synchronization within and across these different coalitions appears to constrain the realization of the collective goal.
Hybrid periodic carrier frequency modulation technique based on modified SVPWM to reduce the PWM noise

This study proposed a hybrid periodic carrier frequency modulation (HPCFM) technique based on the modified space vector pulse-width modulation (SVPWM) for two-level three-phase voltage source inverters to eliminate the PWM noise. Owing to PWM technique and switching losses considerations, ear-piercing high-frequency acoustic noise from motor is common. The proposed HPCFM technique is able to remove the high-frequency unpleasant acoustic noise more effectively than conventional PCFM with lower switching losses and shorter frequency range. In addition, the PWM harmonics in phase voltage and phase current are reduced significantly. Furthermore, the HPCFM method is simple to implement and does not employ additional circuits in drive system. The effectiveness of the proposed approach has been confirmed by detailed experimental results.
Report of 21 unrecorded bacterial species in Korea belonging to Betaproteobacteria and Epsilonproteobacteria

The understanding on the prokaryotic diversity on earth is still at large despite the fact that more than 600 new species are published every year (Euzéby, 2016). The study on prokaryotic diversity is significant in tax­ onomic and ecological aspects as well as in industrial aspects as an invaluable source of useful bioactive com­ pounds. The class Betaproteobacteria is one of the representa­ tive and largest Gram negative bacterial groups cur­ rently encompassing 7 orders, namely Burkholderiales, Hydrogenophilales, Methylophilales, Neisseriales, Nitrosomonadales, “Procabacteriales” and Rhodocyclales, 13 families, Alcaligenaceae, Burkholderiaceae , Comamonadaceae, Oxalobacteraceae, Sutterellaceae, Hydrogenophilaceae, Methylophilaceae, Neisseriaceae, Gallionellaceae, Nitrosomonadaceae, Spirillaceae, “Procabaceriaceae” and Rhodocyclaceae, and 161 gen­ era (Garrity et al., 2005a; Euzéby, 2016). The Epsilonproteobacteria is a relatively small group currently containing 2 orders, Campylobacterales and Nautiliales, 4 families, Campylobacteraceae, Helicobacteraceae, “Hydrogenimonaceae” and Nautiliaceae, Journal of Species Research 6(1):15­24, 2017
A report of 11 unrecorded bacterial species in Korea isolated in 2017

In 2017, eleven unreported species were isolated from diverse soil samples collected in Korea. The current report focuses on the description of eleven unreported bacterial species belonging to phylum Proteobacteria that have not officially reported in Korea. Six bacterial strains 17Sr1_23, 17SD2_13, 17Sr1_31, 17gy_18, 16B15D and 16B02D belong to the family Methylobacteriaceae. The family Methylobacteriaceae is one of the large family of Alphaproteobacteria (Garrity et al., 2005a; Kelly et al., 2014) and at present contains three genera, Methylobacterium, Microvirga and Meganema (http://www.bacterio.net/). The genus Methylobacterium is one of the largest genus containing 44 validated species. They are facultative methylotrophs able to grow on methanol and other one-carbon compounds as sources of energy and carbon (Gallego et al., 2005; Konovalova et al., 2007; Cao et al., 2011). The family Methylobacteriaceae are pink-pigmented and contain ubiquinone Q-10. The eight species of Microvirga and the single species of Meganema are not methylotrophic (Kanso and Patel 2003; Weon et al., 2010; Ardley et al., 2012). Remaining five Strains 17SD2_15, 16B04G, 16B01D, 17U4-2 and 17J28-10 belonged to the family Acetobacteraceae, Oxalobacteraceae, Sphingomonadaceae, Comamonadaceae, and Rhodobacteraceae, respectively. Acetobacteraceae are included in the order Rhodospirillales and 32 genera are validly published (http://www.bacterio. net/-classifphyla.html#rhodospirillales). The genera in the family Acetobacteraceae are basically classified into two groups, an acetous group and an acidophilic group, in the light of application, ecology, and phylogeny (Komagata et al., 2014).

ImmunotherapyReceptor for NK Cell Tumor DAP12-Based Activating Chimeric Antigen

NK cells are emerging as new effectors for immunotherapyof cancer. In particular, the genetic engraftment of chimeric Ag receptors (CARs) in NK cells is a promising strategy to redirect NK cells to otherwise NK cell–resistant tumor cells. On the basis of DNAX-activation protein 12 (DAP12), a signaling adaptor molecule involved in signal transduction of activating NK cell receptors, we generated a new type of CAR targeting the prostate stem cell Ag (PSCA). We demonstrate in this article that this CAR, designated anti–PSCA-DAP12, consisting of DAP12 fused to the anti-PSCA single-chain Ab fragment scFv(AM1) confers improved cytotoxicity to the NK cell line YTS against PSCA-positive tumor cells when compared with a CAR containing the CD3 z signaling chain. Further analyses revealed phosphorylation of the DAP12-associated ZAP-70 kinase and IFN- g release of CAR-engineered cells after contact with PSCA-positive target cells. YTS cells modiﬁed with DAP12 alone or with a CAR bearing a phosphorylation-defective ITAM were not activated. Notably, infused YTS cells armed with anti–PSCA-DAP12 caused delayed tumor xenograft growth and resulted in complete tumor eradication in a signiﬁcant fraction of treated mice. The feasibility of the DAP12-based CAR was further tested in human primary NK cells and confers speciﬁc cytotoxicity against KIR/HLA-matched PSCA-positive tumor cells, which was further enhanced by KIR-HLA mismatches. We conclude that NK cells engineered with DAP12-based CARs are a promising tool for adoptive tumor immunotherapy. The Journal of Immunology , 2015,
A Review of Mid-Infrared Supercontinuum Generation in Chalcogenide Glass Fibers

Chalcogenide glasses have the advantages of a wide transparency window (over 20 μm) and high optical nonlinearity (up to a thousand times greater than that of silica glasses), making them good candidates for mid-infrared supercontinuum generation. In this review, we describe both the history and recent developments in mid-infrared supercontinuum generation from chalcogenide fibers according to three kinds of fiber structures: step-index, microstructured and tapered fibers. We also review the coherence properties of mid-infrared supercontinuum generation and all-fiber supercontinuum sources based on chalcogenide fibers.
Comparative assessment of Bsh assemblages around open sea cages vis-a-vis common Bshing ground

Sea farm cages attract a range of wild Bsh species by providing shelter and food. The Bsh aggregation study was carried out around the open sea cages deployed at (9 20003.9500N; 79 19053.0500E) Olaikuda, Rameshwaram. A total of 2515 Bsh representing 51 species from 26 families and 9 orders were recorded by Underwater Visual Census (UVC) method from both sea-cage farm and control site. The genus Siganus was very common inboth the cage and the control site and recorded in each sampling.TheBsh abundance distribution depicted a similar pattern to that of the cluster analysiswhen subjected to 2DNMDSordinations and showed a distinct cluster pattern for the cage site. The ShannonWiener diversity indices illustrated high abundance (224) and richness (7.33) at the cage site compared to the control site (common Bshing ground). There was a significant temporal variation (F = 8.9, p\ 0.05) in the abundance of Bsh between the cage and the control site. In general, the congregation, density, and diversity of aggregated Bsh were much higher around sea cages than control site. This study reports the number ofBsh species in the vicinity of the cage systemand the reasons for the congregation of Bshes below the cage system was discussed in detail.
Composition, nitrate and nitrite levels, and antioxidant activity of milk from agroecological and conventional systems

Agroecological dairy production systems are gaining attention worldwide. However, few studies have compared the quality of bovine milk produced in these systems with that produced in conventional dairy production systems. In view of the different farming practices, it was expected that milk quality would differ between systems. This study aimed to compare the quality of milk produced by cows raised in the two systems. Twelve conventional farms and 10 agroecological farms were evaluated. Milk samples were analysed for chemical composition, somatic cell count, nitrate and nitrite levels, and total antioxidant capacity (TAC), which was assessed by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2′-azino-bis (3ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) assays. Mean somatic cell counts (SSC) were high for both agroecological systems (2.31 SCC/mL (log10)) and conventional systems (2.42 SCC/mL (log10)). Nitrate levels of milk in agroecological and conventional systems were 0.15 ± 0.03 and 0.17 ± 0.02 mg/L, and nitrite levels were 0.05 ± 0.03 and 0.07 ± 0.02 mg/L. The DPPH radical scavenging activity levels were 6.31 ± 0.55% and 6.64 ± 0.44% for agroecological and conventional systems. According to the ABTS method, TAC values were 6.63 ± 0.28% and 6.48 ± 0.20% for agroecological systems and conventional systems. Thus, although these systems adopted different farming practices, no significant differences were observed in milk composition, SCC, nitrate, nitrite, and TAC.

VRTest: An Extensible Framework for Automatic Testing of Virtual Reality Scenes

Virtual Reality (VR) is an emerging technique that attracts interest from various application domains such as training, education, remote communication, gaming, and navigation. Despite the ever growing number of VR software projects, the quality assurance techniques for VR software has not been well studied. Therefore, the validation of VR software largely rely on pure manual testing. In this paper, we present a novel testing framework called VRTest to automate the testing of scenes in VR software. In particular, VRTest extracts information from a VR scene and controls the user camera to explore the scene and interact with the virtual objects with certain testing strategies. VRTest currently supports two built-in testing strategies: VRMonkey and VRGreed, which use pure random exploration and greedy algorithm to explore interact-able objects in VR scenes.

Synthesis and Physical Properties of NbMnP Single Crystals

Single crystalline NbMnP was grown by the high-temperature solution growth technique and characterized by room temperature X-ray diffraction, temperature- and field-dependent magnetization, temperature-dependent resistivity, and heat capacity measurements. NbMnP is isostructural to TiNiSi with the space group of Pnma. Physical characterizations suggest that NbMnP is metallic and goes through an anti-ferromagnet transition at around 230 K with a weak magnetic anisotropy. A small ferromagnetic component is found to be perpendicular to [010].
Exercise and Nutrition Strategies for Combating Sarcopenia and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Older Adults

Medical and technology development have drastically the improved quality of life and, consequently, life expectancy. Nevertheless, the more people who enter the third-age, the more geriatric syndromes expand in the elderly. Sarcopenia and Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are common diseases among the elderly and the literature has extensively studied these two diseases separately. Recent evidence, however, revealed that there is a bidirectional relationship between sarcopenia and T2DM. The aims of the present review were: (1) to present diet and exercise interventions for the management of sarcopenia and T2DM and (2) identify which diet and exercise interventions can be used simultaneously in order to effectively deal with these two disorders. Exercise and a balanced diet are used as effective countermeasures for combating sarcopenia and T2DM in older adults based on their bidirectional relationship. Lifestyle changes such as exercise and a balanced diet seem to play an important role in the remission of the diseases. Results showed that chronic exercise can help towards glycemic regulation as well as decrease the incidence rate of muscle degradation, while diet interventions which focus on protein or amino acids seem to successfully treat both disorders. Despite the fact that there are limited studies that deal with both disorders, it seems that a combined exercise regime (aerobic and resistance) along with protein intake > 1gr/kg/d is the safest strategy to follow in order to manage sarcopenia and T2DM concurrently.
How to Restore Oxidative Balance That Was Disrupted by SARS-CoV-2 Infection

Coronavirus 2019 disease (COVID-19) is caused by different variants of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) which emerged in December of 2019. COVID-19 pathogenesis is complex and involves a dysregulated renin angiotensin system. Severe courses of the disease are associated with a dysregulated immunological response known as cytokine storm. Many scientists have demonstrated that SARS-CoV-2 impacts oxidative homeostasis and stimulates the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). In addition, the virus inhibits glutathione (GSH) and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2)—a major antioxidant which induces expression of protective proteins and prevents ROS damage. Furthermore, the virus stimulates NOD-, LRR- and pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasomes which play a significant role in inducing a cytokine storm. A variety of agents with antioxidant properties have shown beneficial effects in experimental and clinical studies of COVID-19. This review aims to present mechanisms of oxidative stress induced by SARS-CoV-2 and to discuss whether antioxidative drugs can counteract detrimental outcomes of a cytokine storm.
The Effect of Core Exercise Using Online Videoconferencing Platform and Offline-Based Intervention in Postpartum Woman with Diastasis Recti Abdominis

To investigate the efficacy of exercise intervention using a real-time video conferencing platform (ZOOM) on inter-recti distance, abdominal muscle thickness, static trunk endurance, and maternal quality of life, 37 women with diastasis recti between six months and one year postpartum were randomly divided into the online (n = 19) and offline (n = 18) groups. The online group underwent 40-min trunk stabilization exercise sessions twice a week for six weeks, through a real-time video conference platform, while the offline group attended the same program in person. The inter-recti distance and muscle thickness between the abdominal muscles were measured by rehabilitation ultrasound imaging, the Torso endurance test was used to compare the static trunk endurance, and the maternal quality of life questionnaire (MAPP-QOL, score) was applied. Significant improvements were observed in the inter-recti distance between the rectus abdominis, abdominal muscle thickness, static trunk endurance, and maternal quality of life in both groups (p < 0.001); a more significant improvement was observed in the offline group. No significant differences were observed between groups except for the left rectus abdominis thickness and Psychological/Baby and Relational/Spouse-Partner subscale in the maternal quality of life index (p > 0.05). Exercise interventions delivered in a real-time videoconferencing platform are effective at improving the inter-recti distance, trunk stability, and quality of life in postpartum women and may be an alternate to face-to-face intervention.
Challenges in improving the performance of eddy current testing: Review

Eddy current testing plays an important role in numerous industries, particularly in material coating, nuclear and oil and gas. However, the eddy current testing technique still needs to focus on the details of probe structure and its application. This paper presents an overview of eddy current testing technique and the probe structure design factors that affect the accuracy of crack detection. The first part focuses on the development of different types of eddy current testing probes and their advantages and disadvantages. A review of previous studies that examined testing samples, eddy current testing probe structures and a review of factors contributing to eddy current signals is also presented. The second part mainly comprised an in-depth discussion of the lift-off effect with particular consideration of ensuring that defects are correctly measured, and the eddy current testing probes are optimized. Finally, a comprehensive review of previous studies on the application of intelligent eddy current testing crack detection in non destructive eddy current testing is presented.
