Gamification, motivation, and engagement at work: a qualitative multiple case study

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyze how the application of gamification promotes employee motivation and engagement in the workplace. This study sought to identify gamification characteristics, examine motivation and engage at work to relate them to different game designs. Design/methodology/approach A qualitative exploratory study of multiple cases involving four companies located in Brazil’s southern region. These companies use gamification with their employees or companies whose business offers gamification solutions focused on people management. Findings This multiple case study presented aspects and different approaches to gamification and serious games. Of the four case studies, the Bravi Quiz application was the most satisfactory case because of its attractive design. Research limitations/implications The research instruments prioritized the topic of gamification with its tools and applicability. The themes of motivation and engagement at work have been addressed but need further research. Practical implications The planning and application of gamification with the appropriate score, feedback and rewards are necessary to promote motivation and engagement in the workplace. Gamification must be linked to its systems and processes on its excellent progress because it is taken in isolation; it does not increase engagement and motivation. Originality/value This is one of the few studies dealing with gamification in human resource management by involving developers/instructors, managers and employees/users and different companies’ tools. This study served as a comparison between the tools of gamification and serious games.
Heterogeneous Information Network Embedding With Adversarial Disentangler

Heterogeneous information network (HIN) embedding has gained considerable attention in recent years, which learns low-dimensional representation of nodes while preserving the semantic and structural correlations in HINs. Many of existing methods which exploit meta-path guided strategy have shown promising results. However, the learned node representations could be highly entangled for downstream tasks; for example, an author’s publications in multidisciplinary venues may make the prediction of his/her research interests difficult. To address this issue, we develop a novel framework named HEAD (i.e., HIN Embedding with Adversarial Disentangler) to separate the distinct, informative factors of variations in node semantics formulated by meta-paths. More specifically, in HEAD, we first propose the meta-path disentangler to separate node embeddings from various meta-paths into intrinsic and specific spaces; then with meta-path schemes as self-supervised information, we design two adversarial learners (i.e., meta-path and semantic discriminators) to make the intrinsic embedding more independent from the designed meta-paths while the specific embedding more meta-path dependent. To comprehensively evaluate the performance of HEAD, we perform a set of experiments on four real-world datasets. Compared to the state-of-the-art baselines, the maximum 15 percent improvement of performance demonstrates the effectiveness of HEAD and the benefits of the learned disentangled representations.
Extreme-Point Symmetric Mode Decomposition to Define the Turbulence Characteristics of a Flume Flow

Turbulence is a key feature of solid-liquid two-phase flows, and the pulsating velocity is the basis for calculating turbulence characteristics. In general, the method of mathematical expectation is used to calculate pulsating velocity. However, this method does not reflect the fluctuating state of the instantaneous velocity. Therefore, the method of extreme-point symmetric mode decomposition (ESMD) is adopted to calculate pulsating velocity and turbulence characteristics. The ESMD involves two stages, namely, modal decomposition and time-frequency analysis. The optimal adaptive global mean (AGM), which is the result of modal decomposition, can accurately reflect the fluctuation state of the instantaneous velocity, and the theory of the pulsating velocity defined on this basis is reasonable. Moreover, the flow pattern and turbulence behaviour of a two-phase flow can be predicted using the calculated turbulence characteristics. The method is used to analyse the pulsating velocity of the flume, and its rationality in theoretically predicting the turbulence behaviour of flume flows is demonstrated.
Význam inulinu ve výživě člověka

Inulin is an oligofructofuranoside containing up to fructose units linked beta-1,2-glycosidic bonds. The fructose chain is usually terminated by a glucose. Inulin is found as a storage carbohydrate in many plant roots and tubers, for example dahlia tubers or chicory root. Inulin is used for the production of dietetic foods for diabetes mellitus patients. More recent interest in inulin stems from the fact that it is used as a so-called praebiotic. Praebio-tics are substances added to food that are not reabsorbed in the digestive system and there-fore pass undegraded into the colon, where they stimulate the propagation and metabolic activity of certain microorganisms (mainly bifidobacteria). Finally, inulin is used by the food industry, by the medical science and by the commercial products.

Response of Coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) to Nitrogen and Phosphorus in South Saurashtra Condition

A field experiment was conducted during rabi season of 2014-15 on clayey soil at Junagadh to study the “Response of coriander (coriandrum sativum l.) to nitrogen and phosphorus in south saurashtra condition”. The experiment comprising of 16 treatment combinations with four levels of nitrogen viz., 0, 20, 40 and 60 kg N/ha and four levels of phosphorus viz., 0, 20, 40 and 60 kg P2O5/ha was laid out in Factorial Randomized Block Design with three replications. The experiment results revealed that the 60 kg N/ha promoted growth parameters viz., plant height, plant spread, number of branches per plant; yield attributes viz., number of umbels per plant, number of umbellates per umbel, number of seeds per umbellate, weight of seed per plant, test weight, ultimately higher seed yield (1483 kg/ha) and stover yield (1760 kg/ha), with higher net return ( 65976/ha) and B:C ratio (3.48) over the control (N1). Application of phosphorus enhanced significantly growth parameters viz., plant height, plant spread, number of branches per plant; yield attributes viz., number of umbels per plant, number of umbellates per umbel, number of seeds per umbellate, weight of seeds per plant, 1000 seed weight higher seed yield (1388 kg/ha) and stover yield (1613 kg/ha), of coriander upto 40 kg P2O5/ha, the yield further increased with increasing level of P2O5 but could not reach upto level of significant. The maximum net realization of ( 61008/ha) obtained with 60 kg P2O5/ha, but B:C ratio maximum (3.26) was obtained with 40 kg P2O5/ha. It also significantly increased content and uptake of NPK kg/ha at 60 kg N/ha and 60 kg P2O5/ha in seed and stover.
Economic abuse amongst Dutch women (formerly) victimised by intimate partner violence and abuse: A mixed methods approach

Background: Economic abuse (EA) is a type of intimate partner violence and abuse (IPVA) that is understudied and not always recognised as a distinct form of IPVA. EA receives relatively little attention but occurs frequently and prevents people from leaving a violent relationship. Therefore, we investigate EA amongst our study populations of women who experience(d) IPVA, in order to contribute to this new field of research. Methods: A mixed methods approach involving quantitative (N=210) and qualitative (N=12) data is used to investigate the prevalence and appearances of EA and links with other forms of IPVA, educational level, income level, etc. Results: 42.9% reported EA and the outcomes showed significant relationships between EA, psychological abuse, income level, and contribution to household income. Participants discussed various forms of EA and its impact on their economic independence and well-being. Discussion: EA is probably even more prevalent than we found in this study and more research is needed to gain insight on the prevalence, forms, and impact of EA as a silent but distinct form of IPVA. EA must be taken into account when working with IPVA survivors in order to support them in building their (economic) indepence.
Can HCI Help Increase People’s Engagement in Sustainable Development? A Case Study on Energy Literacy

The adoption of energy efficiency practices and increased penetration of renewable energy sources in the power system are estimated to play a key role in the decarbonization of the energy sector, helping reduce greenhouse gas emissions and ultimately fight climate change. To foster energy transition, energy education initiatives should primarily target the citizens and be designed adopting a User-Centered Design (UCD) approach and HCI methodologies. This paper describes how UCD/HCI can inform the design of citizens’ energy education initiatives by presenting a case study—the development of an information platform targeting Madeiran citizens. The article describes the design process, from ideation to prototype and validation. Methods used in each phase (card sorting, semi-structured interviews, brainstorming sessions, think-aloud protocol and surveys) are described. Results of each phase and how they have informed the following steps are presented, together with a detailed description of the resulting information platform and initial results in terms of acceptance and interaction with the system. Our initial results support the hypothesis that adopting an HCI perspective can nurture the development of energy education initiatives targeting citizens, bringing a user-centered approach to the design of such initiatives.
Implications of ectomycorrhizal inoculation for drought stress tolerance of Atlas cedar (Cedrus atlantica (Endl.) Carrière) seedlings

Background: Ectomycorrhizal inoculation is a promising strategy to minimise the initial transplant shock and increase plant survival and growth during the first years of out-planting in the field. The aim of this research was to investigate the effect of sporal inoculum of three ectomycorrhizal fungi: Cortinarius cedretorum, Amanita vaginata and Inocybe geophylla on tolerance levels of Atlas cedar (Cedrus atlantica (Endl.) Carrière) seedlings subjected to applied drought stress in nursery conditions. Methods: Carpophores, seeds and organic forest soil were collected under pure stands of Atlas cedar. After fifteen months of growth, seedlings were subjected to drought stress by withholding water for thirty days; we assessed morphological and physiological variables of all seedling batches (inoculated and uninoculated, controlled and stressed seedlings) Results: All roots of inoculated stressed seedlings were mycorrhizal. The mycorrhization rates were 67%, 64.6% and 53.6% for stressed seedlings inoculated with Cortinarius cedretorum, Amanita vaginata, Inocybe geophylla, respectively. This root mycorrhization was accompanied by a significant improvement in seedling growth, especially height and length of the main root (10.2 cm, 52 cm) reached in stressed seedlings inoculated with Cortinarius cedretorum. There was a significant increase in relative water content, total chlorophyll, carotenoids, soluble sugars and starch, superoxide dismutase and ascorbate peroxydase enzyme activities in inoculated stressed seedlings compared with uninoculated seedlings. Conclusions: Inoculation of Atlas cedar seedlings with spores of ectomycorrhizal fungi remains a very effective alternative for improving growth and the morphological and physiological status of seedlings under drought conditions. Cortinarius cedretorum appears to be consistently advantageous followed by Amanita vaginata and Inocybe geophylla.

Control-Oriented Model of Photovoltaic Systems Based on a Dual Active Bridge Converter

Solar energy is a source of sustainable energy and its optimal use depends on the efficiency and reliability of PV systems. Dual active bridge converters are a solution to interface PV modules with the grid or high voltage requirement applications due to the high voltage-conversion-ratio and high efficiency provided by such a converter. The three main contributions of this work are: an extensive mathematical model of a DAB converter connected to a PV module including protection diodes, which is intended to design non-linear controllers, an explicit linearized version of the model, which is oriented to design traditional control systems; and a detailed and replicable application example of the model focused on maximizing the power extraction from a PV system. The modeling approach starts with the differential equations of the PV system; however, only the fundamental and average components of each signal is used to represent it. The control-oriented model is validated using a detailed circuital simulation. First, through the comparison of frequency and time diagrams of the proposed model and a detailed one; and then, through the simulation of the PV system in a realistic application case. PV voltage regulation and maximum power extraction are confirmed in simulation results.
Global flyway evolution in red knots Calidris canutus and genetic evidence for a Nearctic refugium

Present‐day ecology and population structure are the legacies of past climate and habitat perturbations, and this is particularly true for species that are widely distributed at high latitudes. The red knot, Calidris canutus, is an arctic‐breeding, long‐distance migratory shorebird with six recognized subspecies defined by differences in morphology, migration behavior, and annual cycle phenology, in a global distribution thought to have arisen just since the last glacial maximum (LGM). We used nextRAD sequencing of 10,881 single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to assess the neutral genetic structure and phylogeographic history of 172 red knots representing all known global breeding populations. Using population genetics approaches, including model‐based scenario‐testing in an approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) framework, we infer that red knots derive from two main lineages that diverged ca. 34,000 years ago, and thus most probably persisted at the LGM in both Palearctic and Nearctic refugia, followed by at least two instances of secondary contact and admixture. Within two Beringian subspecies (C. c. roselaari and rogersi), we detected previously unknown genetic structure among sub‐populations sharing a migratory flyway, reflecting additional complexity in the phylogeographic history of the region. Conversely, we found very weak genetic differentiation between two Nearctic populations (rufa and islandica) with clearly divergent migratory phenotypes and little or no apparent contact throughout the annual cycle. Together, these results suggest that relative gene flow among migratory populations reflects a complex interplay of historical, geographical, and ecological factors.
Front End to Back End: Teacher Preparation, Workforce Entry, and Attrition

We use a database of over 15,000 teacher candidates from 15 teacher education programs in Washington state to investigate the connections between specific teacher preparation experiences and the likelihood that these candidates enter and stay in the state’s public teaching workforce. As has been found in prior research, candidates with endorsements in hard-to-staff subjects like math and special education are more likely to enter the public teaching workforce than other candidates. We also find large differences in hiring rates over time, as candidates who graduated in the years prior to and during the Great Recession are far less likely to be hired than candidates in recent years. Finally, teacher candidates hired into the same school type (elementary, middle, or high school) or into schools and classrooms with similar student demographics as their student teaching placement are more likely to stay in the teaching workforce than candidates who experience less alignment.
The educational backgrounds of DIY musicians

In this qualitative, exploratory study we examined the music education backgrounds and current creative practices of thirteen self-described do-it-yourself (DIY) musicians from around the United States. A growing community of scholars within and outside of education have noted the relative inclusionary nature of DIY communities as compared to mainstream society. Several themes have emerged in DIY music participation literature, including social influences and isolation, and music making for self care and self expression. DIY music-making can offer a potentially liberating space for those marginalized by traditional schooling, providing students with social, educational and musical opportunities they could not find or participate in at school. Through an analysis of interviews and participation-observations of creative practices such as band rehearsals and improvisation sessions, we found that similar themes emerged in our own data. Implications for music education include the importance of more individualized instruction and opportunities for self care and self expression.
SOCIAL FRAME IN COGNITIVE LINGUISTICS AND ITS POTENTIAL IN TRANSLATION STUDIES

The article deals with the application of cognitive frames for TS analysis. It is suggested that Cognitive translatology offers a theoretical framework for a systematic and coherent description of different types of frames. Rendering of social frames actualized in Thomas Hardy’s novel “Under the Greenwood Tree” in the Ukrainian translation by Mariia Holovko is researched and different findings and losses of her translation are analyzed from the standpoint of frame semantics.
Founder-Led Firms and Operational Litigation Risk

Abstract This study investigates the relationship between founder-led firms and non-securities (operational) litigation risk. We postulate lower operational litigation risk for founder-led firms than for nonfounder-led firms based on founder-CEOs’ limited agency conflicts and stronger emotional attachment to the firms they establish. Our empirical results suggest that having a founder as CEO mitigates the risk of being involved in operational lawsuits that could result in substantial financial losses and long-lasting negative consequences.
