A self-regulation model of leader authenticity based on mindful self-regulated attention and political skill

Despite much research on leader authenticity, its antecedents remain poorly understood. We develop a self-regulatory model of leader authenticity. The model explains how both mindful self-regulated attention and political skill, as well as their interaction, are important for leaders to be authentic, and ultimately effective. Mindful self-regulated attention—a core dimension of mindfulness defined as sustained attention centered on the present moment—helps leaders stay connected to their core self amid the busyness of their (work) lives, allowing leaders to feel authentic. And, particularly in combination with political skill—a social effectiveness construct—it helps leaders interact with their employees in a way that is experienced as authentic and effective. In an experimental study (Study 1), we found that leaders who mindfully self-regulate their attention feel more authentic. In a two-wave multi-source field study (Study 2), we found that leader self-regulated attention was positively associated with employee perceptions of leader authenticity and effectiveness. Further, this relation was stronger when leader political skill was high. We discuss theoretical and practical implications of this research.
Targets, Tactics, and Cooperation in the Play Fighting of Two Genera of Old World Monkeys (Mandrillus and Papio):Accounting for Similarities and Differences

Play fighting in many species involves partners competing to bite one another while avoiding being bitten. Species can differ in the body targets that are bitten and the tactics used to attack and defend those targets. However, even closely related species that attack and defend the same body target using the same tactics can differ markedly in how much the competitiveness of such interactions is mitigated by cooperation. A degree of cooperation is necessary to ensure that some turn-taking between the roles of attacker and defender occurs, as this is critical in preventing play fighting from escalating into serious fighting. In the present study, the dyadic play fighting of captive troops of 4 closely related species of Old World monkeys, 2 each from 2 genera of Papio and Mandrillus, was analyzed. All 4 species have a comparable social organization, are large bodied with considerable sexual dimorphism, and are mostly terrestrial. In all species, the target of biting is the same – the area encompassing the upper arm, shoulder, and side of the neck – and they have the same tactics of attack and defense. However, the Papio species exhibit more cooperation in their play than do the Mandrillus species, with the former using tactics that make biting easier to attain and that facilitate close bodily contact. It is possible that species differences in how rigidly dominance relationships are maintained are expressed in the play of juveniles by altering the balance between competition and cooperation.
Environmental Tobacco Smoke Exposure and Respiratory Complaints in Children Aged 0-13 Years: A Cross-sectional Study in South-Limburg, TheNetherlands

Background: Two forms of environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure have been described: second-hand smoke (SHS), which is the direct exposure to tobacco smoke; and third-hand smoke (THS), which is the exposure to residuals from tobacco smoke after the cigarette has been extinguished. The effects of SHS exposure on children’s respiratory health are known, but not of THS exposure. We evaluated the association between both exposures and respiratory complaints in children aged 0-13 years, and assessed whether the risk of respiratory complaints due to these exposures was higher in children with genetic predisposition for asthma compared to those without. Methods: A cross-sectional survey (91 items) was performed in 10,000 families with a child aged 0-13 years living in South-Limburg, the Netherlands, assessing child and family characteristics, child’s respiratory health, and parental smoking behaviour. Data were analyzed with (adjusted) multiple logistic regressions. Results: 1899 families responded. SHS exposure was not associated with an increased risk of respiratory complaints in children. THS exposure was associated with respiratory tract infections in the past 12 months (ORadjusted: 2.13; 95% CI: 1.04-4.36; p=0.04) and recent wheezing (ORadjusted: 2.61; 95%CI: 1.19-5.71; p=0.02) in children. There was no interaction between genetic predisposition for asthma and ETS exposure. Conclusions: Unlike previous studies, our study could not reveal a significant association between SHS exposure and an increased risk of respiratory complaints in children, most likely due to study limitations concerning cross-sectional design, response rate, selection bias and parental underreporting of SHS exposure to their children. THS exposure was significantly associated with an increased risk of respiratory complaints in children. This adds to the limited knowledge about the health effects of THS exposure in children and suggests that more research on this topic is needed. A genetic predisposition for asthma combined with ETS exposure did not increase the risk of respiratory complaints in children.
How to Put Algorithms into Neural Networks

Recently, neural networks have achieved remarkable success in many fields [4]. Many practical systems for fundamental tasks are built with neural networks. For example, in computer vision, it is image classification,, object detection and image segmentation; in natural language processing, it is language modeling and automatic translation; in audio processing, both speech recognition and synthesis. Many approaches have become an industrial standard, and companies around the world are building products based on this technology. Successful algorithms for various tasks are very different from each other and required years of research to arrive at the current level of performance. Constructing a good algorithm for a new task is often a non-trivial challenge. It also turns out that networks can not just learn from data without exploiting some domain knowledge. This knowledge is usually encoded at least in the architecture itself. For example, convolutional neural networks [2] exploit intuition that translation of the object does not change the object itself, i.e., a cat does not stop being a cat if moved left. At the same time, in many domains we already have powerful algorithms that do a decent job. It is a very natural idea to exploit those to construct better networks. We can look at this from two sides. From one side, this means constructing new layers or blocks of layers for networks. From another side, this means making trainable algorithms. In any case, the attempt is to take best of both worlds. This direction has been around since 90s [1,3,5], but for long time was not getting significant attention (together with neural networks). In this talk, we will review three ways to combine algorithms and networks (see Fig. 1): 1. structured pooling: an algorithm is used to select active features (similarly to max pooling); 2. unrolling iterations into layers: an algorithm simply becomes a part of the network; 3. analytical derivative w.r. t. the algorithm input, i.e., building a layer with a special backward operator. To illustrate all the approaches, we will use a running example of a simplified task of handwriting recognition: recognize a word given a sequence of images where each image shows exactly one letter.
Emotion dysregulation and adolescents' preference for online social interactions: the moderating role of gender

The number of young social media users is increasing year after year, animating the scholar debate about excessive Internet use and its effects. Boys and girls’ different social media use motives and purposes might reflect the way in which they display their emotions, indeed increasing attention has been paid to emotion dysregulation role in addictive behaviors. This study aimed at exploring the moderating role of gender on the relation between difficulties in emotion regulation and problematic preference for online social interactions. 693 Italian adolescents (55% female and 45% male; mean age = 16+1.597) were involved in the study. Results showed that gender differently moderated the relationship between emotion dysregulation and preference for web-mediated interactions in males and females: girls with higher difficulties in regulation of emotional states did not prefer online social interactions. On the contrary, boys’ problematic preference for web-mediated interactions always increased for difficulties in acceptance, understanding, control, and modulating negative emotions.
El Flashmob, respuestas artísticas hoy

The appearance in the XXI century of artistic practices such as Flashmob confirms the current need of mankind for collaboration and social demands outside the formal institutions. In a flashmob, a mob organized through a digital environment meets briefly to make something out of context in the urban landscape, with features that approaches it to a Happening. The collective experience of a group excited about a common interest, Its spontaneous nature and its self-management model, typical of the reality that stains the current cultural events, coupled with the need for answers because the disorientation faced by contemporary societies, are sufficient ingredients to protect its reproduction. The vehicle is powerful. The anonymity of crowds acting tribally in the streets invading the social order with an action makes it stimulating. However, their prospects are still uncertain. Renowned brands and large promotional events have appropriated the idea for their own use. Thus, in the present scenario the most absurd and superfluous flashmobs and the most committed flashmobs dance together. However, we continue to insist on its value. Its alternative and underground character cause they go unnoticed, but the amount of daily represented flashmobs are important and symptomatic. The scenario has changed, the express sign has invaded our time and the traditional definition of culture has been transferred to everyday life, not being free of controversy.

Two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography in early detection and prediction of cardiotoxocity during epirubicine based chemotherapy

Objective: To investigate whether alterations of myocardial strain and high sensitive cardiac Troponin T (cTnT) could predict future cardiac dysfunction in patients after epirubicin exposure. Methods: Sixty-five patients aged 52.46±13.58 years with newly-diagnosed large B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma treated with epirubicin were studied. Blood collection and echocardiography were performed at baseline, 1 day after the third cycle, and 1 day after chemotherapy completion. After 4-6 months of chemotherapy, patients were studies using echocardiography. cTnT was detected with a highly sensitive assay. Longitudinal (LS), Circumferential (CS) and Radial Strain (RS) were calculated using two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography. Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) was analyzed by real-time 3D echocardiography. Cardiotoxicity was defined as a reduction of the Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) of ≥5% to <55% with symptoms of heart failure or an asymptomatic reduction of the LVEF of ≥10% to <55%. Results: LVEF remained stable and within normal limits in the whole course of chemotherapy, however decreased from 65.13±3.65% at baseline to 60.58±4.56% during follow-up (p=0.000). Twelve patients (18.46%) developed cardiotoxicity 4-6 months after treatment. Global LS (-18.56±1.69% vs -15.79±1.53%), CS (-20.88±2.67% vs -19.23±3.21%), RS (39.32±6.36% vs 34.79±6.15%) were markedly reduced and cTnT elevated from 0.0010±0.0020ng/ml to 0.0072±0.0035ng/ml (p all 15.9% decrease in longitudinal strain (sensitivity: 86%, specificity: 75%) and a >0.004ng/ml elevation in cTnT levels (sensitivity: 79%, specificity: 64%) from baseline to the third cycle of chemotherapy predicted later cardiotoxicity. Conclusions: Longitudinal strain combined with high sensitive cTnT may provide a reliable and non-invasive method to predict cardiac dysfunction in patients receiving anthracycline-based chemotherapy.

Polyglycerol- and sucrosebased green polyurethane adhesives for veneering

Veneering of particleboard with ABS foil and natural oak veneer was performed using polyglycerol- and sucrose-based polyurethane adhesives. Bonding strength between veneer and underlying board was determined according to EN 312 standard. Developed adhesive formulations exhibited bonding strengths between coating material and underlying board exceeding the surface soundness of particleboard (cohesive failure between 50 % and 100 %). Higher adhesion was found for natural oak veneers. Reactivity of the studied adhesives was comparable to those for commercial adhesives used in furniture industry. It has been demonstrated that biobased polyols can be considered environmentally benign and efficient components of polyurethane adhesives for furniture industry.
EFFICACY OF DIFFERENT DOSES OF ORAL MIDAZOLAM FOR PRE OPERATION SEDATION OF CHILDREN

Background: One of the major problems in pediatric surgery is anxiety and fear of separation from parents. Objectives: We studied the efficacy of different doses of oral midazolam for pre operation sedation of children. Patients and Methods: In this randomized, double-blinded clinical trial, 120 children aged 1 8 years were enrolled in the study . The children were randomly assigned to one of 4 groups and received orally 0.5 mg/kg (group A), 0.8 mg/kg (group B), 1 mg/kg (group C), 0mg/kg (group D) of injectable midazolam mixed with 10 15 mL apple juice 45 minutes before separation from parents. Sedation score, changes in MAP, HR, SPO2, respiratory rate, time of recovery and frequency of nightmares evaluated and analyzed with Kruskal-Wallis and ANOVA tests. Results: The mean age of children was 4.46 ± 2.17 years. Sedation levels in 26 patients in group A and 21 patients in group C were desirable qualified. MAP changes increased in group D and decreased in the other groups. Most changes were observed in group C equals -3 ± 2.5 mmHg. Most changes in heart rate were observed in group D (increased to 11.5 ± 7.41 beat). Most decrease of SPO2 was in group A (-0.86±0.93%). Maximum decrease of RR was in group C (-3.36± 2.88%). Maximum of recovery time was observed in group C (76.3 ± 12.67 minutes). Group D had the highest frequency of nightmares (10 children, 58.8%). Conclusions: Oral midazolam with 0.8 mg/kg, as premedication, reduces recovery time and hemodynamic disturbances . We can use that as appropriate premedication dose in children for reducing children anxiety and fear of separation from parents.
Evaluation of Tensile Strength of Surgical Absorbable and Non-Absorbable Suture Materials-An In vitro Study

Suture material is a biomaterial device used to ligate blood vessels or approximate tissues. 1, 2, 3 Tensile strength is the measure of time for suture material to lose 70-80% of its initial strength. Khiste et al evaluated tensile strength of synthetic absorbable suture materials namely polyglycolic acid (PGA), polyglactin (PG 910), and poly (glycolide-co-ɛcaprolactone) (PGC) under simulated oral conditions and concluded that polyglycolic acid has greater tensile strength. As there are only few studies comparing absorbable and non absorbable sutures in simulated oral environment this study has been taken up to evaluate their tensile strength.
Fabrication of Graphene Oxide/Calcium Carbonate/Chitosan Nanocomposite Film with Enhanced Mechanical Properties

Nanocomposites are an attractive field of materials providing novel performance owing to their remarkable properties at low filler loading. Currently, they are being increasingly used by industry whilst displacing the use of conventional filler materials. A lot of nanoscale fillers are capable to enhance mechanical and thermal properties of nanocomposites. Graphene, a single layer of carbon atoms in a hexagonal lattice, has recently attracted much attention due to their novel electronic and mechanical properties. Graphene and graphene oxide show very high mechanical properties with well biocompatibility, and they have potential application as biomaterials. Therefore, 2D graphene or graphene oxide sheets are expected to offer promising nanoscale filler for the next generation of nanocomposite materials. Here, Graphene Oxide/Calcium Carbonate/Chitosan (GO/CaCO3/CS) Nanocomposite Film has been fabricated by the blending aqueous solution. The graphene oxide used in this study was synthesized by chemical way from pure graphite using modified hummer’s technique. The graphene oxide resulted from hummer’s method was characterized by IR, XRD and SEMEDX. The measurement result of the mechanical properties of the nanocomposite film showed that with adding GO content in the composite enhanced the tensile strength and peaks at the content of GO 5 % due to good dispersion of the graphene oxide as nano-scale fillers.
P‐6.6: Effects of lightly Doped Drain Structure in n‐channel ELA Bridged‐Grain Poly‐Si TFTs

We lead the lightly doped drain (LDD) structure into the bridged‐grain (BG) poly‐Si thin film transistor (TFT). This combined structure can restrain the gate induced drain leakage current (GIDL) and the electrical characteristics shows not much sacrifice. A high Ion/Ioff current ratio 3.79×108 is achieved. Besides, the device reliability is improved significantly. Because the lateral electrical field decreases by LDD, lower trap state density is generated in the SiO2/poly‐Si interface and the grain boundaries of poly‐Si near the surface conduction channel, resulting in the stable on‐state drive current (Ion) and drain saturation voltage (Vdsat). All test results indicate that the BG poly‐Si TFT with a LDD structure will work well and has a great potential for system‐on‐panel application.
