How Green Transformational Leadership Affects Employee Individual Green Performance—A Multilevel Moderated Mediation Model

Rapid economic growth puts the natural environment under tremendous pressure. As a traditional chemical company, it is important to reconsider outdated business development models, develop innovative green initiatives for long-term growth, and choose approaches to address environmental issues. Determining how to encourage employees’ green performance while balancing environmental issues is crucial for chemical companies in the current social and economic environment. This study investigates the green transformational leadership style to enhance green performance of chemical company employees. It expands the field of environmental protection by employing two novel constructs: creative process engagement and green creativity. We collected 623 valid questionnaires from 98 teams (98 leaders and 525 employees) and used SPSS 26.0, HLM 6.0, and MPlus 8.3 to test the hypothesis. The findings revealed that (1) green transformational leadership positively influences individual green performance, (2) creative process engagement and green creativity mediate the relationship between green transformational leadership and individual green performance, and (3) individual environmental awareness positively moderates the relationship between green transformational leadership and green creativity. These novel findings contribute to the environmental literature and help chemical company managers in enhancing employee innovation and performance.
INFLUENCE OF TIME BETWEEN MIXING AND COMPACTION ON PROPERTIES OF A LIME-STABILIZED EXPANSIVE CLAY

THE EFFECTIVENESS OF 4% DOLOMITIC HYDRATED LIME AS A STABILIZER FOR AN ORGANIC EXPANSIVE CLAY SOIL HAS BEEN INVESTIGATED. SAMPLES OF TREATED AND UNTREATED SOIL WERE COMPACTED TO 90% OF MAXIMUM DENSITY FOR EACH MIXTURE, AS OBTAINED BY MODIFIED AASHO COMPACTIVE EFFORT, OVER A RANGE OF WATER CONTENTS. THE EFFECTIVENESS OF STABILIZATION WAS MEASURED, IN MOST CASES, BY TRIAXIAL COMPRESSION TESTS AT VARIOUS AGES AFTER COMPACTION FOR BOTH SOAKED AND UNSOAKED SAMPLES. IT WAS FOUND THAT THE TIME INTERVAL BETWEEN MIXING (OF THE SOIL, WATER AND LIME) AND COMPACTION COULD HAVE A PRONOUNCED EFFECT ON THE PROPERTIES OF THE TREATED SOIL. FOR SAMPLES PREPARED USING CONSTANT COMPACTIVE EFFORT, A DELAY OF 24 HR BETWEEN MIXING AND COMPACTION LED TO AS MUCH AS 8% DECREASE IN DENSITY AND 30% DECREASE IN AS-CURED STRENGTH FROM THE VALUES FOR SAMPLES COMPACTED IMMEDIATELY AFTER MIXING. THE EXPANSION AND SOAKED STRENGTH CHARACTERISTICS OF TREATED SAMPLES WERE ALSO ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY A DELAY BETWEEN MIXING AND COMPACTION. THE PRINCIPAL FACTOR RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS BEHAVIOR WAS FOUND TO BE THE DECREASE IN DENSITY (AT CONSTANT COMPACTIVE EFFORT) ACCOMPANYING DELAYS BETWEEN MIXING AND COMPACTION. THE UNSOAKED AND SOAKED STRENGTH AND THE SWELL VALUES FOR SAMPLES COMPACTED IMMEDIATELY AFTER MIXING AND 24 HR AFTER MIXING WERE ESSENTIALLY THE SAME IF THE SAMPLES WERE PREPARED TO THE SAME DENSITY. A 4% LIME TREATMENT WAS FOUND TO BE AN EFFECTIVE STABILIZER OF THE ORGANIC EXPANSIVE CLAY. STRENGTH IMPROVEMENT IN THE AS-CURED SAMPLES WAS NOT GREAT. HOWEVER, THE EFFECTIVENESS OF LIME IN REDUCING THE SWELL OF SAMPLES SOAKED UNDER A SURCHARGE PRESSURE OF 0.1 KG PER SQ CM WAS VERY MARKED AND RESULTED IN SOAKED STRENGTHS OF TREATED SAMPLES UP TO SEVEN TIMES GREATER THAN FOR UNTREATED SAMPLES. PEAK COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH WAS DEVELOPED AT CONSIDERABLY LOWER STRAINS FOR TREATED THAN FOR UNTREATED SAMPLES. A CONSIDERATION OF THE DATA AND THE RESULTS OF CHEMICAL ANALYSES SUGGESTS THAT, FOR THE SOIL STUDIED, THE BENEFICIAL EFFECTS OF LIME TREATMENT ARE CAUSED PRIMARILY BY FLOCCULATION OF THE SOIL STRUCTURE AND A DECREASE IN THE WATER SENSITIVITY OF THE CLAY MINERALS. CEMENTATION EFFECTS ARE BELIEVED TO BE OF MINOR IMPORTANCE IN THIS SOIL. /AUTHOR/

Yield response and economic impact of variable-rate nitrogen applications in grain sorghum

Variable-rate (VR) nitrogen (N) applications have the potential to improve efficiency of grain sorghum production. Field experiments were conducted in 2010 and 2011 in Stockton and Manhattan, KS. Four VR-N prescriptions were generated using various combinations of grid soil sampling data, soil electrical conductivity (EC) data, and yield maps, and were compared in the field with a uniform application based on a composite soil sample and whole field average yield goal. Soil EC data were used to create management zones that were individually soil sampled. Prescriptions were applied before planting and grain sorghum was harvested and recorded with a yield monitor in the fall. Grain sorghum yields responded to N at both sites with a higher response in 2010 due to more precipitation during the growing season. At Stockton in both years, greatest yields and returns were realized with prescription 4, a combination of management zone soil data and spatially-variable yield goal, while the smallest yields were realized with prescription 2 based on management zone soil data and field average yield goal. Prescription 5, which used grid-soil sampling and a spatially-variable yield goal, and prescription 2 resulted in the lowest returns in both years. At Manhattan in both years, greatest yields and returns were realized with prescription 3, combining a composite soil sample with spatiallyvariable yield goal. Prescription 5 was among the lowest returning treatments in both years. At Stockton, there was no correlation between yield and soil EC during the 2010 growing season, however there was a significant correlation between yield and shallow EC during the drier 2011 season. At Manhattan, yield was correlated to deep EC in 2010 and to shallow EC in 2011. Overall, increasing spatial intensity of data to develop the prescriptions did not necessarily result in an increased yield response to the application. Prescriptions that included a variable yield goal component tended to perform better across both sites and years.
Groundwater quality : representative and appropriate sampling of long-screen wells

Groundwater quality sampling guidance typically requires representative samples to be obtained. Such guidance is not always clear what this means and which sampling methods are most appropriate. The situation is complicated by increasing well screen/open interval length. Uncertainty, resulting particularly from observations of vertical flow in wells has led to calls for the use of long-screen (> 3 m) wells to be abandoned for groundwater quality monitoring. Here, four complementary field and modelling studies at various scales are used to examine appropriate groundwater quality sampling in such wells. Numerical modelling demonstrates that literature reported vertical flows in wells < 10 m in length are sufficient to bias pumped groundwater quality sampling. Bias starts for vertical well flow rates less than 50 % of the pumping rate. Vertical flow measurements explain differences and similarities in historical passive sampling between four boreholes and allow vertical aquifer concentration distributions to be quantified. However, such quantification requires per-borehole flow measurement. New technology (Active Distributed Temperature Sensing) provides a versatile alternative to existing borehole flow characterisation methods under ambient and pumping conditions. Data from contrasting field environments demonstrate that even without comprehensive flow investigation long-screen wells can still provide useful information about groundwater concentrations and trends.
Real-time lane classification and accident detection for safer micromobility

The lack of knowledge of the micromobility regulations by e-scooter users is an important factor behind some of the accidents involving these vehicles. We present two modules that can increase the safety of the users and pedestrians: First, a computer vision model that analyses the video feed captured with a smartphone attached to the e-scooter, and predicts in real-time the type of lane in which the user is riding. This knowledge is used by an application which combines this information with GSNN location information and a database of mobility regulations, and informs the user when he/she is not complying with these regulations. Second, an accident detection system, using the smartphone accelerometer, that detects if there is a fall during the riding, so that the app can contact the authorities to determine the appropriate response. The experimental results show excellent results for both modules.
Health staff perceptions of patient safety and associated factors in hospitals in Vietnam

Introduction Patient safety is a global challenge of preventing and mitigating medical errors which might harm patients during their course of treatment and care. This study was employed to contribute to the existing literature aimed to assess patient safety culture among health staff and to determine predictors of health staff perceptions of patient safety in hospitals in Vietnam. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in three hospitals of Vietnam with a total of 763 participants. This study used the Hospital Patient Safety Scale developed by the American Health and Quality Research Organization. Results In general, 8 of 12 patient safety dimensions in two hospital; and 10 of 12 dimensions in a third hospital had average scores of 60% and above positive responses. The communication openness and organizational learning dimensions were found to be significant different when comparing hospitals. Regarding sample characteristics, department (subclinical department) and health staff positions (nurses/technicians, pharmacists) were significant predictors in the total model including three hospitals (R2 = 0.07). Conclusion This study reported that communication openness and organization learning are two aspects that need to be improved they are strongly related to patient safety culture and to knowledge exchange among health staff. It has been suggested that hospitals should deliver patient safety training courses and establish a supportive learning environment to improve these challenges.

A Successful Prevention of Reintubation Using the Mechanical Insufflation-Exsufflation in a Critically Ill Patient With Impaired Airway Mucus Expectoration: A Case Report

We report a case of post-extubation respiratory failure due to insufficient airway mucus expectoration that was successfully treated using mechanical insufflation-exsufflation (MI-E). A 32-year-old woman with a long-term history of steroid therapy for Blau syndrome was admitted to our intensive care unit with refractory hypoxemia due to pneumonia associated with the novel coronavirus disease 2019. Mechanical ventilation with veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) was required due to severe hypoxemia. She was weaned from VV-ECMO on the 10th day and extubated on the 13th day. A few hours after extubation, she presented respiratory distress due to massive pulmonary atelectasis caused by sputum accumulation as a result of the impaired cough reflex. MI-E was applied to facilitate coughing and sputum expectoration. MI-E dramatically improved the atelectasis and prevented reintubation. This case suggests that MI-E, which is primarily used to treat chronic neuromuscular diseases, may also be effective in treating acute respiratory failure.
Tannic Acid and Ca2+ Double-Crosslinked Alginate Films for Passion Fruit Preservation

In this study, the interaction of different concentrations of tannic acid (TA) (10%, 20%, and 30% w/w) and Ca2+ with alginate (SA) was utilized to create double-crosslinked SA films. The resulting films were evaluated for their optical, mechanical, water resistance, and barrier properties, and their microstructure and intermolecular interactions were also characterized. The SA films containing 20% TA showed the best mechanical properties, with an observed increase in tensile strength of 22.54%. In terms of water vapor permeability, the SA film containing 30% TA exhibited the highest barrier property, which was 25.36% higher than that of the pure SA film. Moreover, TA demonstrated a strong UV absorption ability, resulting in a nearly 0% UV transmittance of the SA film at 280 nm. It can be seen that SA films containing 20% TA have excellent barrier and mechanical properties, and the development of such films will be applied to the storage and packaging of fresh food. It is worth noting that this work also investigated the effect of SA coatings containing different concentrations of TA on the preservation of passion fruits for 7 days. The results revealed that passion fruits treated with SA coatings containing a 30% TA concentration maintained a better appearance on the 7th day and had the lowest weight loss and crumpling indices of approximately 8.98% and 2.17, respectively, compared to the other treatment groups. Therefore, based on the overall results, the addition of 30% TA to SA coatings proved to be more effective and can be considered a promising approach for delaying fruit senescence and decay.
Growth of Art Auction Houses in India in the Last Decade

Art Auction Houses are companies that allow the buying and selling of sought-after art pieces and collectibles. Today, the popularity of auction houses is growing at an extraordinary speed all over the world. There are a plethora of reasons for this fast growth. Some of these are access to popular and desired artworks, transparency in demand and pricing, and a simple purchasing process. In the last decade, India has seen unparalleled growth in art auction houses with a rise of about 265%. In addition to the boom in sales, the prices of the artworks have almost doubled.
Enhancing Medical–Bot Using Natural Language Processing

: Automated medical chatbots are designed to have technology-driven discussions with the goal of lowering healthcare expenses and enhancing access to health-care services and information. These chatbots interact with patients and offer individualised diagnosis based on their concerns and characteristics. By a conversational method, the system can reliably recognise symptoms and forecast a patient's issue. This suggests that by employing natural language processing, a successful oral language medical chatbot may be attainable (NLP)
Iron Deficiency in Heart Failure: A Korea-Oriented Review

Iron deficiency (ID) occurs at high frequency across the spectrum of heart failure (HF), with HF severity and race being potentially important predictors for its development. ID, irrespective of anaemia status, leads to poor outcomes in patients with HF, including exacerbated reduction in exercise capacity, poor quality of life (QoL) and increased risk of HF hospitalisation. As ID has a large public health and economic burden in Asia, and patients hospitalised with acute HF in the Asia Pacific vs. other regions commonly present with more severe clinical symptoms, there is a clear need to identify and treat ID promptly in Asian patients with HF. The biomarkers serum ferritin and transferrin saturation are used for ID diagnosis, and periodic screening is recommended in all patients with HF. The intravenous iron treatments, ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) and ferric derisomaltose, have demonstrated efficacy and tolerability in patients with acute or chronic HF and ID, with FCM shown to be cost-effective (and in some cases cost-saving). Meta-analyses support the likely benefits of intravenous FCM for improving QoL and reducing HF hospitalisation, without reducing mortality risk in patients with HF and ID. Accordingly, European Society of Cardiology guidelines recommend considering intravenous FCM for patients with symptomatic HF with left ventricular ejection fraction ≤50% who were recently hospitalised for HF and have ID. Although analyses of Asian patients with HF and ID are limited, the effects of intravenous iron would be expected to be similar to that in White populations; further clarifying studies may be of interest.
Factors Affecting the Length of Stay in the Intensive Care Unit among Adults in Saudi Arabia: A Cross-Sectional Study

This study aimed to assess patient-related factors associated with the LOS among adults admitted to the ICU in Saudi Arabia. The Ministry of Health provided a cross-sectional dataset for 2021, which served as the data source for this study. The data included data on adults admitted to different ICUs at various hospitals. The number of days spent in the ICU was the outcome variable of interest. The potential predictors were age, sex, and nationality, as well as clinical data from the time of admission. Descriptive statistics and bivariate analysis were used to analyse the association between the predictors and the ICU LOS and characterize how they were distributed. We used negative binomial regression to examine the relationship between the study predictors and the ICU LOS. A total of 42,884 individuals were included in this study, of whom 25,520 were men and 17,362 were women. The overall median ICU LOS was three days. This study showed that the ICU LOS was highly influenced by the patient’s age, sex, nationality, source of admission, and clinical history. Several predictors that affect how long adults stay in the ICU in Saudi Arabian hospitals were identified in this study. These factors can be attributed to variances in health care delivery systems, patient demographics, and cultural considerations. To allocate resources efficiently, enhance patient outcomes, and create focused treatments to reduce ICU LOS, it is essential to comprehend these elements.
Uses and limitations of geomorphological stream channel classification: a systematic review of the literature

Stream classifications have been widely adopted in many disciplines, serving a wide range of purposes, including scientific research, river restoration, and management. The paper begins introducing the four groups of methods of channel classification, and then focuses on the geographic classification of stream reaches on the basis of channel processes and forms; several classifications of both types are mentioned here. Limitations of form-based channel classification are identified, especially for Rosgen stream classification system. Restoration projects have used stream channel classifications a lot. Using stream channel classifications for restoration designs should focus on geomorphic processes rather than river forms due to the variability inherent in streams. The paper ends in some recommendations to improve stream channel classifications.
Temporal logic of surjective bounded morphisms between finite linear processes

In this paper we study a temporal logic for finite linear structures and a surjective bounded morphism between them. We give a modal axiomatization of such structures and also show that any such structure can be uniquely characterised by a temporal formula, up to an isomorphism. As a main theorem we prove Kripke completeness of the proposed axiomatization. Finite linear structures, i.e., finite sets with a strict linear ordering, naturally arise as representations of a discrete, bounded time flow. Many domains of our everyday practice including time series [2], linear planning [4], [7], scene analysis [1], [9], chain-of-responsibility design pattern in programming [3], [8], etc. involve a finite linear structure to represent a sequence of consecutive steps. In many such scenarios, the processes (F,<) comes with a natural partition ⋃ i∈I Fi of F into convex equivalence classes Fi. We call Fi convex if for each a, b ∈ Fi with a < b and each t with a < t < b, we have t ∈ Fi. In such a case, the index set I naturally “inherits” a linear ordering from (F,<). Mathematically, such a process ( ⋃ i∈I Fi, <) can be represented as two temporal linear structures F and I related by means of a bounded morphism. An example of such a structure comes from the analysis of video data where the linear sequence of image frames is partitioned into intervals (grouped in some way e.g. by homogeneous sound moments, or by each interval representing an episode, or a scene). In the area of computer vision, deep learning (DL) methods usually process a video stream as a black box, without looking into the temporal structure or content [6]. By contrast, we aim to represent a high-level knowledge about frames, scenes and their temporal interrelationships and to develop formal languages capable of reasoning about resulting structures [5]. To flesh out this approach a little more, let us consider a conceptual representation of a movie. The raw video data of the movie can simply be represented as a sequence of frames. On a slightly higher level of conceptualization, the same raw data can be understood as a sequence of scenes, where a scene is a subset of logically related consecutive frames. If one also “remembers” which frame belongs to which scene, the following structure emerges:
The Impact of Restructuritation Strategies and Financial Instruments for Loan Loss Provision at Commercial Banking

When the COVID-19 pandemic started in April 2020, there was a swift change for portfolio banks in the lending sector. Loan at risk still dominated all of the lending portfolio banks. As a result, the quality of the portfolio and bank assets is getting worse. Furthermore, the banking industry is advised to continue paying attention to the adequacy of loan loss provisioning for impairment losses in anticipating the potential for deteriorating credit quality. The condition of the banking business portfolio, especially in the lending sector, is experiencing worsening conditions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Loan loss provisioning as the bank’s anticipation of the risk of losing productive assets could contribute in a significant way to the financial crisis in the banking sector. This study analyzes the restructuritation, bank size, capital, inflation, operating expenses management, and productivity growth on loan loss provision. Data collection is done by recording every data needed from The Financial Services Authority (OJK) in the audited financial report. The data were collected for five years quarterly from Q2 2017–Q4 2022, with the object of research being ten banks of group BUKU IV. In total, there are 220 data observations. The dependent variable in this study is loan loss provision. Moreover, the independent variables in this study are restructuritation, bank size, capital, inflation, operating expenses management, and productivity growth. This study uses a quantitative approach with an explanatory or causal design. The data analysis used in this study is panel data regression with the help of the EViews 13 program. The results show that restructuritation policy, inflation rate, and bank size during the COVID-19 pandemic have a significant positive impact on loan loss provision. However, capital bank productivity growth before the COVID-19 pandemic occurred. Also, the operating expense management during the restructuring policy implementation period significantly negatively affects loan loss provision.
