KNOWLEDGE SHARING BEHAVIOUR AND LEADERSHIP STYLE AND ACADEMIC JOB PERFORMANCE THE ROLE OF ENTREPRENEURIAL ORIENTATION

Abstract : Challenges are increasing for higher education institutions, especially the public-owned ones. However, very few studies are available on the impact of leadership style (transformational leadership style and transactional leadership style) and knowledge sharing behaviour as well as the moderating role of entrepreneurial orientation on academic job performance of higher education institutions, especially in Jordan. Based on the Resource-Based View Theory, this study determines the significance of the relationships between knowledge sharing behaviour and leadership style (transformational leadership style and transactional leadership style) and academic job performance of public universities in Jordan. The study further determines the moderating role of entrepreneurial orientation in the relationship between knowledge sharing behaviour and leadership style (transformational leadership style and transactional leadership style) and academic job performance of the public universities. Data were collected from academic staff in public universities. The study employed a multistage sampling procedure with the use of a survey questionnaire. Out of the 1000 questionnaires distributed, 418 were returned with only 398 usable questionnaires, giving a 41.8% response rate. The usable responses were analysed through SPSS, Smart PLS version 3.0, to investigate the relationships between knowledge sharing behaviour and leadership styles (transformational leadership style and transactional leadership style) and academic job performance of the public universities. Results show significantly positive relationships between knowledge sharing behaviour and leadership style (transformational leadership style and transactional leadership style) and academic job performance. Furthermore, the results show that entrepreneurial orientation moderates the relationship between knowledge sharing behaviour and transactional leadership style, while the relationship between transformational leadership style and knowledge sharing behaviour is not moderated by entrepreneurial orientation.

Large and Small Muscles in Resistance Training: Is It Time for a Better Definition?

ABSTRACTMANY STUDIES HAVE MISAPPLIED THE DEFINITION OF MUSCLE VOLUME WITH RESPECT TO CLASSIFYING MUSCLES AS “SMALL” OR “LARGE. ” GIVEN FREQUENT MISAPPLICATION OF THE TERMS, WE PROPOSE THAT THEY SHOULD BE CLASSIFIED SIMPLY AS MULTIJOINT OR SINGLE-JOINT EXERCISES. A VIABLE ALTERNATIVE CLASSIFICATION WO
Weighted Smallest Deformation Similarity for NN-Based Template Matching

This article deals with the template matching problem, and a weighted smallest deformation similarity measure, which is robust to occlusions, background outliers, and complex deformations. The appearance-based nearest neighbor (NN) matching of points is constructed and the smallest location distance between each point in the template and its matching points is employed to penalize the deformation explicitly. Then, the weights are added to points in the template relied on their likelihood of belonging to the background through NN matching with the points around the target window. Experiments show that the proposed method improves the state-of-the-art performance on real-world scenario benchmarks and can be applied in rough positioning of surface mount technology components.
Reproducibility: Reliability and Agreement Parameters of the Revised Short McGill Pain Questionnaire Version-2 for use in Patients with Musculoskeletal Shoulder Pain

ABSTRACT Background: The Revised Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire Version-2 (SF-MPQ-2) is a multidimensional outcome measure designed to evaluate neuropathic and nonneuropathic pain. A recent systematic review found insufficient psychometric data with respect to musculoskeletal health conditions. Aims: The aim of this study was to describe the reproducibility (reliability and agreement) and internal consistency of the SF-MPQ-2 for use among patients with musculoskeletal shoulder pain. Methods: Eligible patients with shoulder pain from musculoskeletal (MSK) sources completed the SF-MPQ-2 at baseline (n = 195), and a subset did so again after 3 to 7 days (n = 48) if their response to the global rating of change scale remained unchanged. Cronbach’s alpha (α) and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC[2,1]) were calculated. Standard error of measurement (SEM), group and individual minimal detectable change (MDC90), and Bland-Altman plots were used to assess agreement. Results: Cronbach’s α ranged from 0.83 to 0.95, suggesting very satisfactory internal consistency across the SF-MPQ-2 domains. Excellent ICC(2,1) scores were found in support of the total (0.95) and continuous (0.92) subscales; the remaining subscales displayed good ICC(2,1) scores (0.78–0.88). Bland-Altman analysis revealed no systematic bias between the test and retest scores (mean difference = 0.13 to 0.19). Though the best agreement coefficients were seen on the total scale (SEM = 0.5; MDC90 = 1.2, MDC90group = 0.3), they were acceptable for the SF-MPQ-2 subscales (SEM: range, 0.7–1; MDC90: range, 1.7–2.3; MDC90group: range, 0.4–0.5). Conclusions: The SF-MPQ-2 provides good to excellent test–retest reliability for multidimensional pain assessment among patients with musculoskeletal shoulder pain conditions.
Attitudes of the General Population, Cancer Patients, Their Family Caregivers, and Physicians toward Dying and Death: A Nationwide Survey

Little is known about people’s attitudes toward death. We aimed to examine attitudes toward death and to investigate their associations with health status in various participant groups. We administered nationwide questionnaires to a total of 4,107 individuals including general Korean population, cancer patients, family caregivers, and physicians. Association of attitudes toward five aspects of dying and death—the ending of life, fearing death because it is painful, anticipating an afterlife, preparing to practice charity and being remembered—and physical, mental, social, and spiritual health status were also analyzed. Attitudes differed. Most (63.4%-76.2%) accepted that death is the ending of life, 45.6%-58.8% feared a painful death, 47.6%-55.0% anticipated an afterlife, 88.5%-93.0% expected to forgive, and 89.9%-94.1% expected to be remembered after death. The general population, cancer patients, and family caregivers had similar attitudes but had more positive attitudes than physicians on the ending of life, fearing a painful death, and anticipating an afterlife. Accepting death as the ending of life and fear of death pain were inversely associated with mental, social, spiritual, or general health status, but participants anticipating an afterlife, expecting to forgive, or expecting to be remembered showed better social, spiritual, or general health status. This nationwide study of various participant groups shows that attitudes toward dying and death were associated with mental, social, spiritual, or general health, but not physical health status. These data suggest that sensitive and skillful discussions of death and dying might contribute to peaceful end of life.

No Effect of Red on Personality Trait Self-Ratings: Testing for Effects of Font Color

Unlike most other mammals, humans are trichromats and have the ability to perceive the color red. An explanation for the evolution of humans’ trichromatic color vision is that it offers humans the advantage to detect ripe fruit. Apart from this explanation, psychological theories have proposed that color, especially the color red, conveys information that affects psychological functioning, but results have been mixed. Whereas studies have extensively tested effects of red on performance measures, it is unclear whether this effect generalizes to self-ratings, one of the most frequently used methods in psychological research. In line with theory and empirical evidence, we argue that exposure to red can lead to distorted responses in self-ratings on the basis of the same underlying mechanism that affects results on performance measures. We varied the font color (hue values) of self-ratings in two online studies. In a first exploratory study, we found an effect of font color on personality trait self-ratings (N = 145). We attempted to rigorously replicate this finding in a larger sample (N = 1,007) but did not detect any effect. The findings underline the importance of rigorous research on effects of color on psychological functioning and call into question the proposition that red has ubiquitous effects.
Maximum Sustainable Yield (MSY) estimates for industrial finfish fishery in marine waters of Bangladesh using trawl catch log

A time series of annual catch per unit effort (CPUE) is derived from commercial logbook datafrom 2007 to 2018 and used as a tuning series for a Schaefer biomass model. The estimated maximumsustainable yield (MSY) reference points are optimal biomass BMSY = 206,082 t and optimal harvest rateuMSY = 38%. The current stock size is estimated to be around 211,000 t and the annual harvest rate around55%, slightly higher than the estimated optimal stock size and much higher than optimal harvest raterespectively. The average annual catch in last five years was 95,924 t, higher than the estimated MSY of79,325 t. Overall, the stock is therefore estimated to be in an overfishing state. The catch rate of high valueand large demersal species have gradually declined whereas low valued species such as small pelagic andmiscellaneous groups have been appeared as major percentage in catch composition for the last couple ofyears.
Oil Price Factors: Forecasting on the Base of Modified Auto-regressive Integrated Moving Average Model

The paper proposes modification of auto-regressive integrated moving average model for finding the parameters of estimation and forecasts using exponential smoothing. The study use data Brent crude oil price and gas prices in the period from January 1991 to December 2016. The result of the study showed an improvement in the accuracy of the predicted values, while the emissions occurred near the end of the time series. It has minimal or no effect on other emissions of this data series. The study suggests that investors can predict prices analyzing the possible risks in oil futures markets.
Mobile Phone Data for Urban Climate Change Adaptation: Reviewing Applications, Opportunities and Key Challenges

Climate change places cities at increasing risk and poses a serious challenge for adaptation. As a response, novel sources of data combined with data-driven logics and advanced spatial modelling techniques have the potential for transformative change in the role of information in urban planning. However, little practical guidance exists on the potential opportunities offered by mobile phone data for enhancing adaptive capacities in urban areas. Building upon a review of spatial studies mobilizing mobile phone data, this paper explores the opportunities offered by such digital information for providing spatially-explicit assessments of urban vulnerability, and shows the ways these can help developing more dynamic strategies and tools for urban planning and disaster risk management. Finally, building upon the limitations of mobile phone data analysis, it discusses the key urban governance challenges that need to be addressed for supporting the emergence of transformative change in current planning frameworks.

Exogenous Supraphysiological Doses of Anabolic-Androgenic Steroids:Controversial and Reciprocal Effects on Performance and Organs

Anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS) are synthetic derivatives of male sex hormone called testosterone. The legal and illegal use of these substances has progressively gained popularity because of enhancing athletic performance (strength, power, speed, endurance and aggressiveness) and appearance (hypertrophy and making weight for fitness and physique). However, AAS abuse also prevalent in people who recreationally do resistance training. Historically, AAS were first developed in the late 1930s in an endeavor to treat hypogonadism and chronic wasting [1]. Since the 1970s athletes abused AAS for high performance in such sports as weight lifting, body building, powerlifting and track and field [2]. Now, amount of these drugs abusing has reached alarming dimensions. Many athletes acclaim that they will not success without them [3]. While, above mentioned beneficial effects have not been approved by scientists and expert researchers and were questioned for decades. Of course, effectiveness of these drugs depend on many factors including doses, combinations of AAS, type of abuse, duration, type of training, individual differences, fitness level or training status. On the other hand, there is no controlled study showing that testosterone derivatives significantly increase lean body mass or strength in people. Few studies with a lot of limitations demonstrated that supra physiologic doses confirm the efficacy of these substances [4,5]. One of the most important goals of sports is fair play in competition based on ethics and keeping the athlete’s health. Sport organizations and associations such as international Olympic committee (IOC), world anti-doping agency (WADA), and national strength and conditioning association (NSCA) reject the abuse of any performance enhancing drugs and substances in order to ergogenic aids [6]. Because, these shortcuts is against sport spirit and induces unequal condition for athletes participations in events and competitions. Moreover, the athletes who abuse AAS, it is hard to continue training naturally.
Task-Based Knee Rehabilitation With Assist-as-Needed Control Strategy and Recovery Tracking System

This research aims to design and implement a novel task-based knee rehabilitation strategy through kinematic synthesis, assist-as-needed control strategy, and recovery tracking system. Experimental kinematic data collected through motion capture system are utilized as an input to the mechanism synthesis procedure. Parallel mechanisms with single degree-of-freedom are considered to generate the complex three-dimensional (3D) motions of the lower leg. An exact workspace synthesis approach is utilized, in which the implicit description of the workspace is made to be a function of the structural parameters of the serial chains of the parallel mechanism, making it easy to relate those parameters to the desired trajectory from the motion capture. The synthesis procedure resulted an exoskeleton which can guide the complex motion of the human knee without the need of mimicking the joint by the exoskeleton counterpart. This can potentially reduce the improper alignment problems arising due to the constantly varying axis of rotation of human joint, which is often very difficult to predict. An assist-as-needed control and recovery tracking strategy is outlined based on an electromyography (EMG) signals and force sensing resistors (FSRs) mounted on the user and exoskeleton, respectively. The EMG signal is captured from the user leg and FSRs are applied at the attachment area of the exoskeleton and the leg, this helps to get the amount of force applied by the exoskeleton to the leg as well as for the recovery tracking. The assist-as-needed controller eliminates the need of constant supervision, and hence saves time and reduces cost of the rehabilitation process. Similarly, the real-time progress tracking system will motivate and actively engage users
Male Partner’s Involvement and its Associated Factors in Promoting Skilled Delivery Attendance Among Fathers who Have Children Less Than Oneyear of Age in Ambo Town, Ethiopia, 2017

Background: Male partner’s involvement in maternal health care has been described as a process of social and behavioral change that is needed for men to play in maternal health care with the purpose of ensuring women’s and children`s wellbeing. Available literature suggests that male involvement, affects the choice of institutional service utilization of their spouse. However, little has been explored about level of male involvement and associated factors in promoting skilled birth attendance in the study area. Methods: Community based cross sectional study design was undertaken to assess level of male partner’s involvement in promoting skilled birth attendance in Ambo town, central, Ethiopia. A structured pre-tested questionnaire was used to collect data. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS version 21.0. Binary and multivariable logistic regressions were used to identify the association between dependent and independent variables. Result: The study revealed that 166 (41.9%) of male partners were involved in promoting skilled birth attendance of their spouse. Being in the Age group of 20 29 years [AOR = 16.34; 95 CI: 7.582 35.238], having diploma and above educational status [AOR = 2.85; 95% CI: 1.013 8.057], being civil servant [AOR = 2.51; 95% CI: 1.449 4.351], and having knowledge about maternal health care [A0R = 2.73; 95% CI: 1.617 4.636] were significantly associated with male partner’s involvement in promoting skilled delivery attendance. Conclusion: Male partner’s involvement in promoting skilled birth attendance was low. Age of male partners, educational level, occupational status and having knowledge about maternal health care were factors found to be associated with male partner’s involvement. Therefore, increasing male partner’s knowledge about maternal health care through health education is the main area of intervention.

Nutrition during pregnancy and fetal growth.

Maize and rice are the staple foods of the residents of Madura. However toward the end of the dry season cassava or sweet potatoes may replace the rice. Fish is eaten daily in small amounts accompanied by squash-like vegetables. Leafy vegetables are available during the rainy season. Women in the East Java Pregnancy Study generally ate less during early pregnancy due to nausea and anorexia but resumed normal consumption patterns and levels from the 24th week of pregnancy to the end of gestation. Mothers habitual energy intake during pregnancy was marginal at best. Their activity patterns and maternal anthropometry and the effect of prenatal energy supplementation on birth weight are discussed. There seems to be a margin of energy deficiency below which fetal growth is affected. However that margin may vary according to population characteristics and sociocultural factors which determine womens energy expenditure among other things.

Influence of impurities on structural, electronic and optical properties of graphene-like nano-layers MoSe2

In this study, using the calculations of the first principle, the effects of metal impurities of Cr and Mn with different impurities percentages are investigated on the structural, electronic and optical properties of graphene-like MoSe2. The calculations show, doping by impurities causes to obtain the more stable compounds. It also reduces the band gap about a few tenths eV compared to their pure composition. Impurities can also cause the direct gap to move from one point to another one or depending on the impurity type causes the compound nature changes from a semiconductor to a magnetic half-metal. Another important finding of this study is that as the type and percentage of impurity affect the electronic properties, they can also influence the degree of change in optical properties such as the expansion of spectrum, the reduction of the peaks and their integration. Although we can predict based on the previous study, the process of increasing the percentage of impurities leads to loss of some peaks, it seems, ultimately leads to an increase in the total absorption of the electromagnetic spectrum. Compared to the pure compound, the impure compounds exhibit similar structural properties but depict unique electronic and optical properties that can be used in nano-parts, nano-electronics as well as in the absorber plates of solar cells and optical instruments and so on.
