Organizational Justice and Work Satisfaction: Meta Analysis

: Previous studies have shown that organizational justice can affect job satisfaction. Nevertheless, the correlation between organizational justice and job satisfaction showed varying results. The meta-analysis approach that used in current study aims to see consistency of the correlation between procedural justice, distributive justice and interactional justice and job satisfaction. Journals used in this meta-analysis were 17 journals that includes 20 studies with 4606 subjects. The results of meta-analysis showed that procedural justice, distributive justice and interactional justice positively correlated with job satisfaction. Procedural justice, distributive justice and interactional justice had positive correlations were moderate {r1= 0,449; r2= 0,406 ;r3= 0,388) refers to a 95 % confidence interval, limits of acceptance are between 0,010<r1<0,888; 0,016<r2<0,829 ; -0,079<r3<0,856. So that the correlation coefficient of 0,449; 0,406 and 0,388 are within in the limits of acceptance. That is a significant positive correlation between each of organizational justice aspects (procedural justice, distributive justice, interactional justice) and job satisfaction are acceptable. Finally, all of organizational justice aspects can act as predictor of job satisfaction. a limited number of studies is the weaknesses of the study because of the precision of a meta-analysis depends on the total sample used.

A Study on the Mechanical Characteristics of String Planes of Badminton Racquets by Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis

In this study, the finite element analysis of the string planes of badminton racquets was investigated to evaluate the effect of the mechanical characteristics of polymer strings. The nonlinear mechanical characteristics of commercially available polymer strings were obtained by the uniaxial loading tests experimentally. The effects of the strain rate on the mechanical characteristics of the polymer strings were also investigated to consider the dynamic effect on the numerical simulation. The numerical simulation code used to analyze the string planes of the badminton racquets was developed originally. A nonlinear elastic model (Yeoh model) was applied to the mechanical characteristics of the polymer string. Simulated results were compared with the experimental results. The effect of the mechanical characteristics of the polymer strings and the geometrical shape of the badminton racquets on the out-of-plane stiffnesses were investigated.
Personality Correlates of Internet Addiction among College Students

The present study assesses the relationship between the Big Five personality traits and internet addiction among college students studying in Mysuru city. Big five personality scale (John & Srivastava, 1999) and internet Addiction Scale (Young, 1998) were administered to a sample of 163 (70 male + 93 female) college students. Personality in 5 traits of students was measured by Big five personality questionnaire and Internet addiction in 6 factors. Data were subjected to product moment correlation and stepwise multiple regression to find out the relationship between personality traits and internet addiction, including the personality factors which predict internet addiction. Results revealed that four of the personality factors-Extraversion, agreeableness and conscientiousness were negatively and significantly related with internet addiction, whereas neuroticism factor was positively related to Internet addiction. Further, multiple regression analysis revealed that only two personality factors- neuroticism an Conscientiousness best predicted the Internet addiction to the extent of 13.6%.
Spontaneous aortocaval fistula complicating abdominal aortic aneurysm

Primary aortocaval fistula is a rare, and in most cases, a lethal complication of an abdominal aortic aneurysm even though it involves less than 1% of all abdominal aortic aneurysms. A 60-year-old man was transferred to the emergency department complaining of acute abdominal pain and vomiting. A contrast-enhanced computed tomography showed a ruptured abdominal infrarenal aortic aneurysm (10cm) complicated by an aortocaval fistula. The patient survived after undergoing emergency synthetic vascular graft placement.
Extending Lifetime of Wireless Sensor Networks by Distributing the Overload on Cluster Heads

: Clustering sensor nodes in power-constrained Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is an efficient step to enhance energy efficiency and extend the network lifetime. Clustering gives many advantages (e.g., data aggregation and less number of transmissions) that greatly reduces the energy consumption of the WSN. A Cluster Head (CH) node is selected for each cluster to receive data from the cluster’s nodes, aggregate them, and finally transmit these data to a Base Station (BS). However, the overhead on the CH nodes is still a problem for the network lifetime, which causes premature death for those overloaded nodes. Energy harvesting is one of the most energy optimization techniques that make the WSN rechargeable and so extends the lifetime of the network. Traditional techniques such as solar and wind harvesting are not reliable because they are neither constant nor always available. Another type of energy harvesting is the Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) approach in which a node enables to transfer energy to other nodes. According to the energy consumption theory in WSN, about 90% of energy is left unused after the premature death of overloaded nodes. If this big surplus of energy is used to recharge the overloaded nodes, it will greatly extend the lifetime of the WSN. So, in this paper, we use the WPT technology and the multi-objective Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) to extend the network lifetime. The target of our proposed approach is to minimize the amount of this surplus of energy. All nodes in the WSN could transfer energy to the CH nodes to distribute the overall load. At the same time, the optimal amount of energy, transferred by each node, must also be convenient to its residual energy. Therefore, this paper tries to eliminate the overhead on the CH nodes and therefore extend the lifetime of the clustered WSN. Our simulation results show an encouraging result to extend the lifetime of the WSNs as compared with the common Leach algorithm.
Wild Andaliman (Zanthoxylum acanthopodium DC.) Varieties as an Aromatic Plants from North Sumatera

: Andaliman ( Zanthoxylum acanthopodium DC.) is one of endemic plant in North Sumatera which produce essential oil. This study aims to explore the wild Andaliman varieties and their characteristics based on specimens and any information sourced from local community knowledge in North Sumatera. This research was conducted through a vegetation survey with local communities in three districts based on three altitude levels: North Tapanuli (1500-1600 masl), Samosir Island (1600-1700 masl) and Humbang Hasundutan (1700-1800 masl) using 20 x 20 m plot with three replicates at each altitude level, totaling nine plots. Observation was carried out through morphological characteristics: seeds, leaves, and prickles based on specimens from the fieldwork and observing fruits, leaves, stems and prickles based on local community knowledge by in-depth interview. The results showed that there were nine varieties Andaliman in North Sumatera: Siholpu, Siganjangpat, Sihalus, Sihorbo, Simanuk, Sirangkak and there were three unnamed varieties. Each variety grows in a different altitude and has morphological characteristics. Further research will be carried out, related to the essential oil content of each Andaliman variety and its ecological conditions.
Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis of Alkaloids in Cortex Phellodendri by HPLC-ESI-MS/MS and HPLC-DAD

A combined method of high performance liquid chromatograph-elecrtrospray-ionization mass spectrometer(HPLC-ESI-MS/MS) coupled with a photodiode array detector(HPLC-DAD) and principal component analysis(PCA) was applied to the qualitative and quantitative analyses of alkaloids in Cortex Phellodendri(CP) samples, and to the differentiation of two species of CP, Cortex Phellodendri Chinensis(CPC) and Cortex Phellodendri Amurensis(CPA). Twenty-two peaks appeared in the HPLC-MS base peak chromatogram of CP detected by the HPLC-ESI-MS/MS analysis, and the alkaloids were identified according to the MS(n) data, the known MS fragmentation rules and the literature data. Five alkaloids including berberine, palmatine, jatrorrhizine, phellodendrine and magnoflorine were simultaneously determinated by the HPLC-DAD. Berberine was the primary component in all CP samples, and the contents of berberine and palmatine were exploited to be two critical parameters for effective discrimination between the two species of CP. The average content of berberine in CPC(58.75 mg/g) was higher than that in CPA(9.16 mg/g), while the content of palmatine was less, only 0.25 mg/g in CPC and 4.19 mg/g in CPA. With the use of PCA, samples datasets were separated successfully into two different clusters corresponding to the two species, and berberine, palmatine, phellodendrine and magnoflorine contribute most to the above mentioned calssifying. The proposed method proved to be a useful tool in the quality control of Chinese herbal medicines.
Is Age and Power of Top Management Team Important in Leverage Decision?

: This study aims to examine the influence of the age of the top management team on corporate leverage, by including power as a moderating variable. The study was conducted using panel data with 283 samples of non-financial companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in the period 2010-2017. Testing is done using moderated regression analysis (MRA). Leverage is measured using the book and market leverage, while the age of the top management team is measured by the average age of the team, and power is measured using average share ownership by a team divided by the number of shares outstanding. This research found that when the top management team has power in the company, the older top management team will be more likely to choose lower leverage decisions. This result is consistent with the Upper Echelon Theory which states that the observable characteristics of the top management team can influence the company's strategic decisions.

Addressing the issue of high dependence on foreign labours through human resource investment: a literature review

Due to labour shortages and increasing labour cost, many hotels have employed foreign labour. However, some five-star hotels continue to employ the local workers. Although the employment of foreign labour helps to fill job vacancies, the over flooding of foreign labour is detrimental to Malaysia’s economy, social tranquillity, national peace and political stability. This paper reviews articles on foreign labours, human capital investment and compensation. Past studies found that a well-designed and implementation of job-skill training improves corporate profits and create shareholder’s value as increased human capital leads to customer satisfaction. Human capital refers to employee’s knowledge, experience, professional competency and cognitive ability. High investment in human capital is essential to service firms that provide customize service and seek to compete based on their services. To secure their investment, luxury hotels provide an effective compensation plan that includes internal and external equity.

Students perceptions of high school Physical Education

Quality physical education is significant to the growth, development, learning, and educational experience of students. High quality physical education is directed by Appropriate Instruction Guidelines for K-12 Physical Education (SHAPE America, 2009) and provides a framework for instruction which focuses on health education, fundamental motor skill development, self-confidence, promotes daily physical activity (PA), is associated with improved cognitive functioning (CA State Board of Education, 2005), and contributes to the quality of adult life. The purpose of this study was to identify how meaningful college freshman perceived their high school physical education experience to be. Using a Likert-Type survey tool, respondents rated their instruction from “Never” to “Always” aligning to the appropriate instructional guidelines. Interviews were conducted to supplement survey responses and provide additional understanding. Results were consistent with current literature, in which students rated their physical education experience low, selecting “Never” and “Rarely” more often than “Sometimes” “Often” or “Always. ” Students also stated that their physical education experience did not contribute to their engagement in PA nor did they believe they learned anything. High school physical education instruction does not consistently adhere to instructional guidelines.
Accessory gland proteins of males in the male‐diphenic ant Cardiocondyla obscurior

Seminal fluid proteins are important agents in sperm competition and sexual conflict. In solitary insects, males and females may have different interests concerning the outcome of a mating episode, and males may use seminal fluid to manipulate the physiology and behaviour of the female against the latter's fitness interests. Less is known about the role of seminal fluids in social insects, where the interests of mating partners are more aligned because of life‐long pair‐bonding. In the male‐diphenic ant Cardiocondyla obscurior, mating even with sterilized males appears to prolong the lifespan of queens, suggesting a positive role of seminal fluids. In the present study, using two approaches (two‐dimensional gel electrophoresis/mass spectrometry and representational difference analysis), we analyze the seminal fluid and the male accessory glands of both winged and wingless males of C. obscurior. The results obtained reveal the presence of hundreds of proteins, of which proteases and protease inhibitors are also widespread in the seminal fluids of other insects.
Molecular Detection of Medically Important Carbapenemases Genes Expressed by Metallo-β-lactamase Producer Isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella pneumoniae

Background and Objectives: The increase in antibiotic resistance among Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella pneumoniae especially through the production of metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) puts the use of the carbapenems for therapeutic purposes at risk. The study aimed for preliminary screening and phenotypic confirmatory tests for the production of MBLs. Further, to investigate the role of blaVIM, blaNDM, and blaIMP in addition to blaOXA-48 and blaKPC, respectively, in the resistance to carbapenems. Furthermore, to detect gene expression represented coproduction of the assigned enzymes encoding genes using real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Patients and Methods: A total of 100 specimens had been taken from 92 patients. All of these specimens were examined by microbiological culture technique. Both double disk synergy (DDS) and combined disk (CD) techniques were used as a confirmatory test for MBL production. Gene expression for Class A, B, and D MBLs was detected by RT-PCR. Results: Out of 34 potential MBLs producer clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa and K. pneumonia, 21 (62.0%) and 6 (18.0%) were positive for DDS test, respectively. All isolates (100%) of the potential MBLs producer isolates of P. aeruginosa and K. pneumonia were positive for the presence of meropenem alone plus meropenem-EDTA. Molecular assay revealed that a total of 26 (96.0%) of P. aeruginosa were confirmed as blaOXA-48 producer isolates. Further, out of27 MBL positive P. aeruginosa, 25 (93.0%) were confirmed as blaVIM producer isolates. Further, all isolates of K. pneumonia (100%) were confirmed as blaVIM but no gene expression observed for blaIMP P and blaKPC C against P. aeruginosa and K. pneumonia. Further, our study result yielded that out of 27 P. aeruginosa positive isolates for MBL, 21 (78.0%) were confirmed as blaNDM producer isolates. Furthermore, our study result revealed that out of 7 pneumonia positive isolates for MBL, 6 (86.0%) were confirmed as blaVIM producer isolates. Coproduction of blaVIM and blaOXA-48 encoding genes was produced by all study isolates of K. pneumoniae. Conclusion: CD test is more preferred than double-disk synergy test for phenotypic confirmatory test for checking carbapenemases production. Further, blaVIM, blaNDM, and blaOXA-48 carbapenemases play an important role in resistant to carbapenems represented by imipenem and meropenem among study isolates of P. aeruginosa and K. pneumonia using RT-PCR. Coproduction of blaVIM and blaOXA-48 encoding genes was detected in all study isolates of K. pneumonia. The expression of blaVIM, blaOXA-48, and blaNDM genes in the study isolates at high proportion by K. pneumonia. blaOXA-48 could be the reason why these isolates were endemic in Iraqi patients.
Effects of Individuality, Education, and Image on Visual Attention: Analyzing Eye-tracking Data using Machine Learning

Machine learning, particularly classification algorithms, constructs mathematical models from labeled data that can predict labels for new data. Using its capability to identify distinguishing patterns among multi-dimensional data, we investigated the impact of three factors on the observation of architectural scenes: individuality, education, and image stimuli. An analysis of the eye-tracking data revealed that (1) a velocity histogram was unique to individuals, (2) students of architecture and other disciplines could be distinguished via endogenous parameters, but (3) they were more distinct in terms of seeking structural versus symbolic elements. Because of the reverse nature of the classification algorithms that automatically learn from data, we could identify relevant parameters and distinguishing eye-tracking patterns that have not been reported in previous studies.
Photonic delay-based reservoir computing integrated on InP chip

Delay-based reservoir computing (RC) offers a simple technological route to implement photonic neuromorphic computation. Its operation boils down to a time-multiplexing with the delay limiting the processing speed. As most optical setups end up to be bulky employing long fiber loops or free-space optics, the processing speeds are limited in the range of kSa/s to tens of MSa/s [1]. In this work, we focus on external cavities which are far shorter than what has been realized before in experiment. We present the results of an experimental validation of reservoir computing based on a semiconductor laser with a 10.8 cm delay line, both integrated on an active/passive InP photonic chip built on the Jeppix platform [3]. The single mode laser operates around 1550nm with a side mode suppression of larger than 20dB.
