Examining the Impact of Training and Development on Organizational Performance: An Analysis of Strategic Fit

Human resource management strategies that neglect training and development are doomed to fail. They're crucial because of their impact on improving workers' knowledge, abilities, and productivity, which in turn affects the company's bottom line. By raising employee proficiency levels, training and development can significantly impact business results. Effective training programs help workers learn new abilities and hone their existing ones, allowing them to do a better job. As a result of this raised level of expertise, various organizational processes may see gains in output, error rates, and overall effectiveness. Training and development initiatives also help boost morale and participation in the workplace. Staff morale and loyalty can rise when they see that their employer cares about them as individuals and their professional development. Employees who are enthusiastic and invested in their work are more likely to go the extra mile, work well with others, and improve the company's bottom line. Organizational effectiveness is greatly influenced by training and development programs. They encourage creative problem-solving and flexibility in the workplace by increasing employees' knowledge, enthusiasm, and commitment to the company's mission. Improvements in productivity, employee satisfaction, and the organization's bottom line can result from training and development programs that are well-executed and in line with strategic goals. The main focus of the study is to examine the Impact of Training and Development on Organizational Performance. In addition, the study also focuses on various factors that impact training and development in an organization’s performance and various factors that impact training and development in employee performance. Lastly, the study also examines various problems that are faced by the organization in managing training and development for employees. Organizations must see the strategic value in these initiatives and invest in them if they are to succeed in the long run.
Enhancing Prostate Cancer Diagnosis with a Novel Artificial Intelligence-Based Web Application: Synergizing Deep Learning Models, Multimodal Data, and Insights from Usability Study with Pathologists

Simple Summary Prostate cancer is a significant cause of male cancer-related deaths in the US. Checking how severe the cancer is helps in planning treatment. Modern AI methods are good at grading cancer, but they are not used much in hospitals yet. We developed a new online tool that combines human expertise and smart AI predictions to grade prostate cancer. Experienced doctors helped us improve the tool by answering questions in a survey and a test called the NASA TLX Usability Test. This helped ensure that the tool meets the needs of intended medical users and proves a valuable addition in clinics. The feedback obtained was positive for three themes that included acceptability, ease of use, and understanding with suggested application feature improvements as feedback for real world hospital use. The task completion process was not very demanding overall. The web application has potential to serve well upon minor improvements based on feedback. Abstract Prostate cancer remains a significant cause of male cancer mortality in the United States, with an estimated 288,300 new cases in 2023. Accurate grading of prostate cancer is crucial for ascertaining disease severity and shaping treatment strategies. Modern deep learning techniques show promise in grading biopsies, but there is a gap in integrating these advances into clinical practice. Our web platform tackles this challenge by integrating human expertise with AI-driven grading, incorporating diverse data sources. We gathered feedback from four pathologists and one medical practitioner to assess usability and real-world alignment through a survey and the NASA TLX Usability Test. Notably, 60% of users found it easy to navigate, rating it 5.5 out of 7 for ease of understanding. Users appreciated self-explanatory information in popup tabs. For ease of use, all users favored the detailed summary tab, rating it 6.5 out of 7. While 80% felt patient demographics beyond age were unnecessary, high-resolution biopsy images were deemed vital. Acceptability was high, with all users willing to adopt the app, and some believed it could reduce workload. The NASA TLX Usability Test indicated a low–moderate perceived workload, suggesting room for improved explanations and data visualization.
The paleoclimatic record from a 345 m long ice core from the Hans Tausen Iskappe

The 345 m long ice core retrieved from the Hans Tausen Ice Cap in 1995 (82,5°N, 38°W) in Western Peary Land was sampled in situ for later paleoclimatic δ18Omeasurements in Copenhagen. The upper 125 m covers a little more than 1000 years and indicates strong persistent warming from the late 1920-ties, a maximum warming in the early 1960-ties and a variable climate with no particular trend since the 1960-ties. The δ record over the past 100 years shows similarities with the temperature records from the Greenland west coast stations, Iceland, and the Faroe Islands. The 20th century is the warmest in the entire record, while the periode 1700-1900 A.D. is the coldest during the past 2000 years. A maximum of warm climate seems to be reached around 900-1100 A.D. which then declines to the colder conditions around 1700 A.D. The climatic interpretation of the deepest 105 m of the δ record is more complicated due to the non-steady state of the ice cap: The implication for the paleoclimatic interpretation will be discussed. No glacial ice is present in the bottom ice.
Effects of strategic supplementation of distillers grains on gains and economic return of yearling cattle grazing cool-season pastures in the summer

Objectives: The objective of this experiment was to determine the effects of strategic supplementation on year-ling performance and effects on economic return. Materials and Methods: Predominantly Red Angus-crossbred steers and heifers (12–14 mo old; initial BW = 316 kg, SD = 8.6 kg) grazed crested wheatgrass at 4.3 ha/ yearling for an average of 112 d in a 3-yr study. Treatments were (1) dried distillers grains (DDGS) supplemented at 1.59 kg/yearling per day fed 6 d/wk throughout the entire grazing season (full season, FS), (2) 1.59 kg/ yearling per day supplemented for 6 d/wk only during the latter part of the grazing season (late season, LS), or (3) no supplement (control, CONT). Economic data from 2012 to 2021 were applied to experimental data to create potential yearling marketing scenarios and a partial budget analysis. Costs of both DDGS and live cattle were included. Pasture was the experimental unit (4 replicates in yr 1 and 2; 3 replicates in yr 3) in a randomized complete block design. Results and Discussion: There were no significant year × treatment interactions ( P > 0.53) for performance. Supplement increased ( P < 0.01) ADG 0.23 kg/d over CONT. Ending BW and ADG did not differ ( P = 0.31) between FS and LS. There was a tendency for a treatment × year interaction ( P = 0.08) for return to management. A significant increase ( P < 0.01) in return to management over CONT was observed in yr 2 for FS and yr 2 and 3 for LS. Overall, FS returned $14.96 more and LS returned $32.21 more per yearling than CONT. Return from LS and FS was greater ( P ≤ 0.05) than CONT in all years except 2012, 2019, and 2021.
Computer Simulation of Rockfalls

The Colorado Rockfall Simulation Program (CRSP) is a computer program written in BASIC which models rockfall behavior and provides a statistical analysis of rockfall simulations at a given site. This analysis can be used as a tool to study the behavior of rockfall, determine the need for rockfall mitigation, and design rockfall mitigation measures. In order to model rockfall behavior, CRSP utilizes numerical input values assigned to slope and rock properties. The model applies equations of gravitational acceleration and conservation of energy to describe the motion of the rock. Empirically derived functions relating velocities, friction, and material coefficients are used to model the dynamic interaction of the rock and slope. The statistical variation among rockfalls is modeled by randomly varying the angle at which a rock impacts the slope within limits set by rock size and the slope characteristics. This program provides a site specific analysis of rockfall with output of velocity and bounce height statistics at various locations on the slope. CRSP is being used successfully to aid in the design of rockfall mitigation during the construction of Interstate 70 (I-70) in Glenwood Canyon, Colorado. The program provides a means for analyzing rockfall sites more objectively.
Titanium Biohybrid Middle Ear Prostheses: A Preliminary In Vitro Study

Ossiculoplasty is a surgical operation performed to restore auditory transmission through the reconstruction of the ossicular chain using prosthetics. Tissue bioengineering has assumed a pivotal role in implementing alternatives to conventional ossicular middle ear replacement prostheses, to overcome extrusion while preserving acoustic properties. This in vitro study aims to explore, for the first time in current literature, the feasibility of a biohybrid middle ear prosthesis, composed of titanium surrounded by a bone extracellular matrix as bio-coating. We have hereby studied the adhesion and proliferation of human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hASC) on titanium scaffolds in vitro. Moreover, we identified the osteogenic differentiation of hASC using an immunofluorescence assay to analyze osteoblasts’ gene expression profiles (Alp, Runx2, Col1a1, Osx, and Bglap), and we counted the presence of collagen as a marker of hASC’s ability to secrete an extracellular matrix. We utilized scanning electron microscopy to evaluate the presence of an extracellular matrix on the scaffolds. Our preliminary data demonstrated the titanium’s ability to support human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell colonization, proliferation, and osteoblastic differentiation, in order to obtain a biohybrid device. Our experience seems encouraging; thus, we advocate for further in vivo research to corroborate our results regarding bone transplantation.
Research on a Three-Phase Energy Mutual-Aid Strategy for a Grid-Connected Inverter Based on Constructed Negative Sequence Current Control

With the increased grid-connected capacity of a single-phase distributed power supply, three-phase power unbalance is more likely to occur in a power grid. Three-phase power unbalance can further lead to three-phase voltage unbalance, which can have adverse effects on power quality and power supply reliability. Therefore, there is a need to build a three-phase power transmission channel to realize power exchanging among phases. In this paper, a novel grid-connected inverter control strategy for three-phase power exchanging is proposed based on constructed negative sequence current control. A completed negative sequence current control loop is added to a conventional three-bridge inverter to realize the decoupling control of three-phase grid current, and then three-phase power exchanging is realized. On this basis, this paper further puts forward a strategy for three-phase power exchanging aimed at three-phase voltage balance. Correspondingly, the three-phase grid current is controlled according to the feedback of the three-phase voltage. Then, three-phase voltage balance is achieved by three-phase power exchanging. The simulation and experimental results show that the proposed strategy is suitable for a three-phase unbalanced power grid, which can realize three-phase power exchanging, and further, can achieve three-phase voltage balance. The proposed strategy can help to improve power quality and supply reliability.
Distributed Control of a Limited Angular Field-of-View Multi-Robot System in Communication-Denied Scenarios: A Probabilistic Approach

Multi-robot systems are gaining popularity over single-agent systems for their advantages. Although they have been studied in agriculture, search and rescue, surveillance, and environmental exploration, real-world implementation is limited due to agent coordination complexities caused by communication and sensor limitations. In this work, we propose a probabilistic approach to allow coordination among robots in communication-denied scenarios, where agents can only rely on visual information from a camera with a limited angular field-of-view. Our solution utilizes a particle filter to analyze uncertainty in the location of neighbors, together with Control Barrier Functions to address the exploration-exploitation dilemma that arises when robots must balance the mission goal with seeking information on undetected neighbors. This technique was tested with virtual robots required to complete a coverage mission, analyzing how the number of deployed robots affects performances and making a comparison with the ideal case of isotropic sensors and communication. Despite an increase in the amount of time required to fulfill the task, results have shown to be comparable to the ideal scenario in terms of final configuration achieved by the system.
Delineation of probable asperities on the Atotsugawa fault, central Japan, using a dense temporary seismic network

We elucidate the velocity structure along the Atotsugawa fault by inverting arrival times from local earthquakes and explosive sources using double‐difference tomography. High P‐wave (Vp) and S‐wave (Vs) velocity bodies are located in the western and eastern sections with depths greater than 2 km. Most earthquake hypocenters are distributed at the periphery of the high‐velocity bodies. At the western section, high‐Vp body extends for 20 km along fault strike and 10 km perpendicular to strike. We suggest that the high‐velocity body imaged at the western section is an asperity that ruptured in the 1858 Hietsu Earthquake. In contrast, the central section of the Atotsugawa fault is characterized by low‐Vp and low‐Vp/Vs values. The extremely low seismicity and the creep‐like movements observed at the central section are attributed to this local crustal heterogeneity associated with crustal fluids.
Predictors of marital satisfaction in arranged marriages in Saudi Arabia

The aim of the studies reported in this thesis was to investigate marital satisfaction in arranged marriages in Saudi Arabia, exploring whether the predictors of marital satisfaction that were found in the West were also predictors of marital satisfaction in Saudi Arabia. Additionally, the hypothesis that marital satisfaction and love increase with the duration of marriage among arranged marriages in Saudi Arabia was tested. In order to investigate marital satisfaction in this context, the VSA-Model from Karney and Bradbury (1995) was adopted to organize the variables that affect marital satisfaction into three groups. The first group, Enduring Vulnerability, included Relationship Questionnaire (RQ), Experience in Close Relationships-Revised (ECR-R), Inclusion of Others in the Self (lOS), Love, Sexual Satisfaction, and the Big Five scales. The second group, Stressful Events, included Attitude towards Family-in-Law, Stressful Events, and Arguments scales. The third group of predictors in the VSA Model was Adaptive Processes and consisted of the Conflict Behaviour Scale (CBS), Power, and Decision Making scales. The criterion validity was assessed using Relationship Assessment Scale and Satisfaction with Life Scale. Three studies were conducted and a total of 549 people (246 husbands, 303 wives) were recruited. Participants were chosen from private hospitals, shopping malls, banks, government schools, through friends, and from King Fahad Medical City. All scales were translated from English to Arabic. After translation, scale reliability was examined, and principle components analyses were conducted to examine the factor structure of each translated scale. Some predictors of marital satisfaction differed across husbands and wives. For wives, the Stressful Events scale predicted lower marital satisfaction and their ratings of their partners' PB (measured on a new subscale found through principle components analysis of scales included in this study) higher marital satisfaction. For husbands, Dismissing attachment style predicted negative marital satisfaction, and high ratings of Extraversion predicted positive marital satisfaction.
A Time-Lapse Feasibility Case Study From Mad Dog Field

Ultrasonic velocities (UV’s) for both P and S waves were obtained from nine axially oriented sandstone core plug samples. These experiments were conducted under uniaxial strain conditions, in which radial strain was kept constant. The samples were cleaned, dried and then subjected to multiple loading and unloading cycles designed to simulate reservoir stress conditions of pressure depletion and build-up due to production and water injection. Travel times were obtained by careful picking of first arrival events on P and S full waveforms. These picks were used to compute P and S velocities, which were then used together with density data to compute dynamic bulk and shear moduli. These core data were then used to characterize the sensitivity of the dry rock frame to changes in effective stress. Sensitivity of porosity to changes in effective stress was also characterized.
Molluscan palaeontology of the Pliocene-Pleistocene Kap København Formation, North Greenland

The sediments of the Pliocene-Pleistocene Kap København Formation reflect a succession from isostatic conditioned regression (Member A) to transgression (Member B). Transgression rates were first slow (unit B1), then faster (unit B2), and then again slower (unit B3). The fragmented molluscan death assemblage of Member A reflects moderately deep water and arctic temperatures. Unit B1 was deposited mainly in foreshore, backshore, and shoreface environments, and the mollusc fauna was most probably washed up from slightly greater depths. Temperatures had now risen to subarctic. In unit B2 the mollusc fauna is a death assemblage of the parautochthonous type. Temperatures had risen to even milder subarctic conditions with higher sea temperatures. Unit B3 contains a fragmented low diverse molluscan death assemblage from an estuarine environment and with no temperature indication. However, all the faunas lived in waters with reduced salinity. The 15 gastropod, 27 bivalve, and one brachiopod species from the Kap København Formation are amphiatlantic in character, but five species are new to the Greenland fossil fauna and four species are not known to live in Greenland today. All species are extant, but ten have not been found in older deposits and apparently have their FAD - their first appearance datums - in the Kap København Formation. The mollusc fauna m the Kap København Formation is considered to be the oldest arctic fauna from marine, shallow water environments known so far. Biostratigraphical correlations indicate that the boundary between Member A and Member B is close to 2.45 Ma, i.e. the transition between the Praetiglian and Tiglian in northern Europe. This dates the formation to the uppermost Pliocene (allochthonous fauna assemblage) and the lowermost Pleistocene (Members A and B). It is suggested that the fauna evolved in response to the new and harsher environments following the Praetiglian glaciation, most probably during migration into shallow water environments. When the Polar Basin became ice covered the molluscs were attracted to the ice margin where food conditions were more favourable, and then to the shallow water shelves with seasonally ice free areas dose to the coasts. Grab-samples with contemporary benthic fauna featuring 21 molluscan species from the fjord off Kap København are described.
Intrinsic Motivation – A Strategic Tool For Entrepreneurial Intention

Entrepreneurial society evolved based on conditions like grabbing the opportunity, motivation and means to attain goals. To become an entrepreneur college students, need motivation either in form of willingness to become an entrepreneur or it has to be their need to become entrepreneurs this act will result in finding opportunities in the market (Angela Mota et.al, 2019). As motivation plays a vital role among students to become an entrepreneur, it becomes important to understand their motivation level (intrinsic motivation level), the current study tries to validate an intrinsic motivation inventory adopted by Mc Auley, Duncan, and Tammen (1987), so that this inventory can be used to understand the motivation level among students that can inspire them to become entrepreneurs. A study is conducted among 1037 participants from a higher education institution situated in Madurai. Jamovi open-source software 2.3. 21 is used to validate the inventory. The validated scale shows good model fit. The procedure of validation is discussed in this study
Interactive comment on "Benchmark products for land evapotranspiration: LandFlux-EVAL multi-dataset synthesis" by B. Mueller et al.

The authors of this paper present newly launched synthesis products for evapotranspiration (ET). For the rest of this comment we will simply use the term (terrestrial) evaporation (E) instead, which we perceive as a better term for the change of liquid water to water vapour (e.g. Monteith, 1981; Shuttleworth and Wallace, 1985; Savenije, 2004; Brutsaert, 2005). Anyway, we think that these global benchmark evaporation products could indeed prove useful in many applications and will certainly be welcomed by many
Study and Evaluation of the Calculation Methods of Reference Crop Evapotranspiration in Solar-heated Greenhouse

In this paper,we analyzed the application conditions of Penman-Monteith(P-M) equation recommended by FAO in solar-heated greenhouse microclimate factors.We divided the P-M equation to two parts such as radiation item(ET(rad)) and aerodynamics(ET(aero)),and acquired the modified P-M equation for calculation of reference crop evapotranspiration in solar-heated greenhouse,and resolved some question when supposed wind speed equals to zero.The modified P-M equation is verified by the measured data of weather and water evaporate in 2004 and 2005.The correlation analysis results show that the modified P-M equation has less error and higher precision than P-M equation.The modified P-M equation is suggested to calculate the reference crop evapotranspiration in solar-heated greenhouse.
Characterization and Evaluation of Mulberry Genetic Resources for the Identification of Promising Accessions

Mulberry is a dioecious species but, is usually cultivated as low bush or dwarf tree form by repeated pruning. Apart from its importance in silkworm rearing, it is also valued for its delicious fruits, medicinal properties in infusions, and ornamental shade tree. The conservation of mulberry genetic resources for future use and their subsequent usage in plant breeding are two critical areas of action in any genetic resource management programme. The current study used morphological, reproductive, anatomical, biochemical, propagation, growth, and yield variables to know the potential value of 22 mulberry accessions. Based on multiple trait analysis, the accessions MI-0946, MI-0945, MI-0953, MI-0948, MI-0935, MI-0948, MI-0936 and MI-0952 were identified as top performers for anatomy, propagation, biochemical, growth and yield parameters. These accessions may serve as potential parents for the future breeding program.
