To be in control — vejen til godt psykisk arbejdsmiljø, læring og innovation?1

Kontrolbegrebet, som har en lidt anden betydning på engelsk end det har på dansk, har i 30 år haft en central placering i forskningen om psykisk arbejdsmiljø. Artiklen stiller spørgsmålstegn ved, om kontrolbegrebet har samme centrale betydning i det moderne arbejde med værdibaseret teamorganisering, præget af selvledelse. Artiklen konkluderer, at kontrolbegrebet har samme centrale betydning som tidligere, både som kritisk perspektiv og et udviklingsperspektiv på psykisk arbejdsmiljø, men det er nødvendigt, at kontrolbegrebet reformuleres med større vægt på det relationelle. Artiklens pointer illustreres med udviklingen af arbejdet i fi nansielle institutioner for de medarbejdere, der behandler lånesager.
Passive Release of Fungal Spores from Synthetic Solid Waste Surfaces

Passive release of fungal spores can occur from various natural and anthropogenic sources leading to significant concentrations in ambient air with potential effect on health and climate. The estimation of fungal spore release is a critical parameter necessary for the realistic assessment of health risk using dispersion models and in global climate modeling. This paper presents results from experiments conducted to seek a better understanding of the process of passive fungal spore due to wind. Laboratory studies were conducted to measure emission fluxes of a test fungal species (Penicillium chrysogenum) grown on two test surfaces (aluminum foil and cardboard) in a flux chamber in response to air flow. Spore growth on the aluminum foil correlated with the amount of nutrient, while for cardboard, fungal growth was observed just with the presence of water without any external nutrients. The released spores were collected using a commercially available impinger (Biosampler^®) and quantified using fluorescence microscopy. Spore flux correlated positively with the number of spores on the surface and with air velocity above a threshold velocity. Fungal spore flux decreased on continuous exposure to air. Microscopic inspection of the surface revealed that the normally upright hyphae bearing the fungal spores collapsed after exposure to air thus suggesting that the decrease in flux was due to a decrease in the aerodynamic drag on the spores. Fungal hyphae also collapsed when there was depletion of nutrients for spore growth leading to reduction in flux. A preliminary mathematical model that estimates spore flux based on the energy transfer between the air and the fungal spores and the energy required to remove the spores is presented. A characteristic energy parameter for aerosolisation was obtained from the model fit. Using this parameter, the model predicted experimental fluxes under various conditions reasonably well.
Free convection of a nanofluid in a square cavity with a heat source on the bottom wall and partially cooled from sides

The problem of free convection fluid flow and heat transfer in a square cavity with a flush mounted heat source on its bottom wall and two heat sinks on its vertical side walls has been investigated numerically. Via changing the location of the heat sinks, six different arrangements have been generated. The cavity was filled with Cu-water nanofluid. The governing equations were discretized using the finite volume method and SIMPLER algorithm. Using the developed code, a parametric study was undertaken, and effects of Rayleigh number, arrangements of the heat sinks and volume fraction of the nanoparticles on fluid flow and heat transfer inside the cavity were investigated. Also for the middle-middle heat sinks arrangement, capability of five different water based nanofluids on enhancement of the rate of heat transfer was examined and compared. From the obtained results it was found that the average Nusselt number, for all six different arrangements of the heat sinks, was an increasing function of the Rayleigh number and the volume fraction of the nanoparticles. Also it was found that at high Rayleigh numbers, maximum and minimum average Nusselt number occurred for middle-middle and top-bottom arrangement, respectively. Moreover it was found that for the middle-middle arrangement, at high Rayleigh numbers, maximum and minimum rate of heat transfer was obtained by Cu-water and TiO2-water nanofluids respectively.
Comparison of Free and Dipeptide Lysine Utilization in Diets for Juvenile Olive Flounder Paralichthys olivaceus

Abstract We compared the utilization efficiency of free lysine (FL) and dipeptide lysine–glycine (LG) in terms of growth performance and whole-body amino acid composition in olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus . A basal experimental diet was formulated to con-tain 0.5% (basal) lysine from fish meal, and four other diets were prepared by supplementing 0.5% or 1.0% of either FL or LG. The experiment was performed in triplicate, and 20 randomly selected fish averaging 5.41 ± 0.16 g were fed one of the test diets at the rate of 3% BW/day twice daily for 6 weeks. At the end of the feeding trial, fish fed the basal diet showed significantly less weight gain than did the other groups. The results of a two-way ANOVA showed that both lysine level ( P = 0.001) and type ( P = 0.034) influenced growth rate; however, we found no significant interaction between lysine level and form ( P > 0.05). Our results revealed a significant improvement in protein efficiency ratio (PER) with each increment of dietary lysine, and the groups fed LG-supplemented diets showed higher PER than did those offered FL. Hepatosomatic and viscerosomatic indices were significantly in-fluenced by lysine level and form, and higher values were recorded in fish fed diets containing LG. Significantly higher whole-body arginine levels were found in LG-fed groups, and a significant interaction was observed between lysine level and form (
Bearing the Cost of Population Aging: Familial vs. Public Old-Age Support. (Rough and preliminary draft)

Consumption after retirement can be financed through assets, public transfers, and private transfers. However, private transfers are generally missed in the literature. In order to fill this gap I compare the macroeconomic outcomes of an economy where consumption after retirement is financed through assets and public assets with those where consumption is financed through assets and private transfers. By doing this comparison I find two major results. First, in the steady state an age-related payroll tax that mimics familial old-age support is preferable to a flat payroll tax, since this policy may guarantee the same pension benefit with a higher aggregate consumption. Second, simulation results, using a computable general equilibrium model with realistic demography, show that this policy cannot be implemented when population is aging. ∗I particularly thank the extremely helpful comments and challenging ideas received from Ronald Lee.

A Min.Max Algorithm for Spline Based Modeling of Violent Crime Rates in USA

This paper focuses on modeling violent crime rates against population over the years 1960-2014 for the United States via cubic spline based method. We propose a new min/max algorithm on knots detection and estimation for cubic spline regression. We employ least squares estimation to find potential regression coefficients based upon the cubic spline model and the knots chosen by the min/max algorithm. We then utilize the best subsets regression method to aid in model selection in which we find the minimum value of the Bayesian Information Criteria. Finally, we report the $R_{adj}^{2}$ as a measure of overall goodness-of-fit of our selected model. Among the fifty states and Washington D.C., we have found 42 out of 51 with $R_{adj}^{2}$ value that was greater than $90\%$. We also present an overall model for the United States as a whole. Our method can serve as a unified model for violent crime rate over future years.
Emotion Regulation in Enhancing Adolescents’ Academic Performance

Adolescence is a transition period between children and adult. There are many changes in physical, sexual, cognitive, and emotion. Aside from coping with those changes, they have to handle their academic performance very well. In order to tackle with those challenges, they need a lot of support from parents, teachers, and peers to prevent maladaptive adolescent behavior and psychopathology. Brain involvement in emotion and learning are amygdala, hippocampus, prefrontal cortex, limbic system, and insula. Emotion regulation is very important in enhancing adolescent academic performance. Emotional competence is the key for success in life.
Microstructure, physicochemistry, microbial populations and aroma compounds of ripened Cantal cheeses

In spite of its high production (18000 T yearly), very few studies have been devoted to Cantal, a French AOC ("Appellation d'Origine Controlee") cheese variety whose making process is close to that of Cheddar. To improve the knowledge of this type of cheese, two ripened Cantal cheeses issued from raw milk and two different industrial processes were biochemically, physicochemically, structurally and microbiologically characterised through the analysis of both cheese sectors and juices extracted by pressure. The results obtained were compared with Cheddar and Emmental cheeses. The main differences between Cheddar and Cantal cheeses of the same age were a higher rate of proteolysis for Cantal cheese shown by both the total nitrogen content and the TCA soluble nitrogen in the respective cheese juices, and higher CaT content as well as an increased molar CaT/PT ratio in the Cantal cheese. Free amino contents in the cheese aqueous phase were similar but individual variations suggested an effect of the secondary ripening microflora provided by the raw milk used. Microbial counts done on different media showed a dominant mesophilic and thermophilic lactic acid bacteria flora, a subdominant flora composed of various ripening bacteria and yeasts and a very low level of some coliforms and of Pseudomonas. An amount of 44 neutral volatile compounds were identified but 3 of them determined by GC-MS (ethanol, 2-butanone and 2-butanol) represented more than 95% of the total peak area. Some variations in these main compounds as well as in minor ones confirmed a difference in the native microflora in the two studied Cantal cheeses. Nevertheless, these data appeared in the range of those reported for Cheddar. The microstructure of fat determined by confocal laser scanning micrography showed that little is present in Cantal cheese as intact fat globules. Most of this component appeared as free fat included in the casein matrix with a high ability to oil off, especially the part which is near the crust. As well as offering a precise characterisation of many compositional aspects of ripened Cantal cheese, this study opens the way for further works on the process kinetics carried out in the making processes and for a better knowledge of the ecosystem metabolism.

Evaluation of Safety and Interactions with Conventional Drugs of Commercially Available Soybean

Soy (Glycine max. L.) is a plant that has been used since ancient times due to its high nutritive value and health benefits. To this day, soy and soybeans products, such as tofu, soy milk, soy sauce, miso, tempeh represent an important component of human diet[1]. In addition to their high nutritive value, soybeans also contain biologically active compounds and vitamins, which includes isoflavones, tocopherols, vitamin C, saponins, and sterols[2,3]. Isoflavones are non-steroidal, polyphenolic compounds that are present in unconjugated form (aglycones), and as different types of glycoside conjugates (β-glucosides, Evaluation of Safety and Interactions with Conventional Drugs of Commercially Available Soybean Extract-containing Dietary Supplements
INTEGRATION OF SOLID OXIDE FUEL CELLS WITH BIOMASS GASIFIERS

Biosyngas from biomass gasifiers contains hydrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, methane etc in addition to the various contaminants. This gas could be efficiently converted in solid oxide fuel cells. Information on the levels of contaminants in the fuel gas as well as the sensitivity of SOFC for all contaminants that will be found in the fuel gas is required for designing suitable cleaning systems. This paper presents a brief description of technologies related to such systems and the ongoing activities at University Delft in this topic in co-operation with ECN. Initial results are also presented.
Population differentiation without speciation

Population differentiation is often viewed as an important step towards speciation, and part of the rationale for conserving variation at the intraspecific level is that the potential to generate more biological diversity should be retained. Yet, speciation is not an inevitable consequence of population divergence. This paper reviews recent work on the Trinidadian guppy, Poecilia reticulata , a species that is renowned for its capacity for population differentiation. Guppy populations evolve rapidly, within 10 to 102 generations, as a response to changes in selection exerted by predators. The rates of evolution involved can be up to seven orders of magnitude greater than those seen in the fossil record. Sexual selection, particuarly female choice, appears to reinforce the divergence that natural selection has generated. Perplexingly, however, there is no reproductive isolation (either prezygotic or postzygotic) between populations, even those that have been separated for at least 106 generations. Sexual conflict may be the key to explaining this absence of speciation. Male reproductive behaviour, particularly the high incidence of sneaky mating, may be instrumental in producing sufficient gene flow to prevent reproductive isolation. Sneaky mating has the potential to undermine female choice, and is known to be an important means of sperm transfer in wild populations. Sexual dimorphism, also a result of sexual conflict in guppies, may inhibit speciation in another way. Morphological differences between the sexes, that have arisen for reproductive reasons, mean that males and females are pre–adapted for different foraging niches. This, in turn, reduces the opportunity for the development of feeding polymorphisms, a mechanism that seems to have been important in the sympatric speciation of other fish species.
A new technique for measuring temperament in cattle.

Following an observation that docile animals vacate a weigh scale at a slower rate than others, the temperaments of 6 month and' 18 month bulls and heifers of two genotypes were assessed by electronically recording the time taken for animals to cover a predetermined distance after vacating a confined area. This measurement is known as a Flight Speed. In general, there were no differences between Africander-cross and Africander-cross x Brahman-cross genotypes at either of the two ages, though there were large differences between sire progeny means within each of the genotypes, particularly at the younger age. The sex effect was not significant at weaning, but became more significant (P < 0.01) at 18 months of age with bulls being more temperamental than females. Heritability of Flight Speed varied with age, being high (0.54) at weaning to moderate (0.26) at 18 months when sexes were combined. There were no sex differences in heritability at weaning, but at the later age heritability was 0.44 in males and 0.21 in females.
Information Communication Technology Influence on E-Payment Adoption: A Point of View of Banking Institutions in Jordan

Banks have to adopt new information and communication technologies such as e-banking and e-payments to maintain competitive positioning. The purpose of this quantitative correlational research is to determine if a relationship exists between the variables of security, usability and support and epayment adoption in the banking system in Jordan. The Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) provided the conceptual framework for the study. The hypothesis tested by the study stated in its alternative form was: A statistically significant relationship exists between Security, Usability, and Support and E-Payment Adoption. Data were collected using a survey instrument designed for the study through random sampling of managers and employees at banking institutions in Jordan. The results of the analysis of data show that the predictor variables of Security, Usability, and Support have a statistically significant relationship with the outcome variable of E-Payment Adoption. While each of the three predictor variables had a statistically significant relationship with the outcome variable of E-Payment Adoption, the strongest relationship was with the users' perception of Support. The implication of the results is that banks in Jordan should focus on the three predictor variables to obtain competitive advantages through user adoption of e-payments.
Cognitive testing toward the future: The example of Semantic Verbal Fluency (ANIMALS)

We are proposing that, in the future, tests included in psychological and neuropsychological batteries should fulfil the following criteria. (1) Have a large enough normative database (“normative criterion”). Performance of subjects of different ages and different educational levels, including illiterates, should be well established. Normative data from different countries and cultural contexts should be available. (2) Know the effects of brain damage on different characteristics on the test (“clinical criterion”). (3) Know how the brain is activated when the test is performed (“experimental criterion”). (4) Know how this test correlates with other cognitive tests (“psychometric criterion”). Few contemporary tests fulfil all these criteria. A notable exception is Semantic Verbal Fluency test using the category ANIMALS. This test requires the generation of words corresponding to a specific semantic category, such as animals, fruits, vegetables, etc. Typically, the number of correct words produced in 1 minu.
MYCOTOXINS: A CRITICAL REVIEW ON OCCURRENCE AND SIGNIFICANCE

The contamination of foods and feed with mycotoxins is a commonly known problem. Intense investigations have been conducted by studying the existence of the various mycotoxins to find out how they affect human and animal food chains. Several mycotoxins reported to date are cosmopolitan in distribution and incur severe health-associated risks (including cancer and neurological disorders). Hence, creating awareness among consumers regarding mycotoxins is of great importance for food safety. In this review, the focus is on the types and occurrence of various types of mycotoxins in food and feed associated with risks to humans and livestock as well as their significance. This review is meant to be informative not only for health-conscious consumers but also for experts in the field to pave the way for future research to fill the existing gaps in our knowledge with regard to mycotoxins and food safety.
Ancient Indian wisdom for managers: the relevance of Valmiki Ramayana in developing managerial effectiveness

Valmiki Ramayana is considered as a marvellous epic and the first written literature in the Indian context. Over the centuries, several authors have explored various dimensions of Ramayana ranging from philosophy, spirituality, politics, economics, sociology, culture, literature, language, poetry, technology and others. However, management does not seem to be a popular subject of analysis from the Ramayana, although Valmiki Ramayana is pregnant with several lessons for managers. Therefore, this paper aims to fill the gap in the literature by exploring the relevance of Valmiki Ramayana for development of contemporary managers. By employing hermeneutics, a qualitative methodology, the authors have explored work motivation, dharmic management, principles of control and vigilance, decision making, humanism and equanimity from Valmiki Ramayana which provide lessons for enhancing managerial effectiveness. The prospect of exploring Valmiki Ramayana in other areas of management such as strategic management, people management, and others can be considered in the near future.

Import's Price and Income Elasticity Estimates: Reconsidering the Evidence for Pakistan

Abstract: This paper largely explains for the price and income elasticity estimates in Pakistan’s import demand. The aim is to obtain and construe the new estimates of the responsiveness of real imports demand to real effective exchange rate and domestic income in Pakistan using the annual data set and ARDL application. The empirical result indicates evidence of co-integration among the variables. Majorly and differently, the study found in evidence that in the long run real imports are significantly price inelastic, when the effective exchange rate were used as a measure of price competitiveness. Furthermore, along with price inelastic imports found highly income elastic i.e. a one percent increase in domestic income level will have to increase imports demand by more than one percent. Thus, the results make obvious for case study the relative responsiveness of imports demand to changes in exchange rate and domestic income level.
