Resilience Across Different Length of Service in the Assam Civil Service Officers

Every human being strives to land into the job of their dreams, and for many of those aspirants, civil service is that dream job. However, over the years, there has been a fundamental transformation in the public services, which has exposed civil service officers to new demands and obligations of the changing time. It is seen that between the government and the public, the civil service employees act as a connecting link. The civil services recruit a large number of candidates each year. In relation to the job, they have a lot of hopes, feelings, and expectations before getting into the job. But the harsh realities of the job makes the civil service officers undergo a lot of stress. Here comes the role of resilience, the capacity to bounce back in adverse circumstances. Human beings have varied capacity to deal with stressful situation thus different levels of resilience. Similarly the Assam Civil Service officers develop resilience over the period of service. The purpose of the present study is to study resilience in the civil service officers of Assam serving at different hierarchies based on the length of the service. A sample of 210 participants was taken for the study. Resilience was measured using a psychometric tool. The results highlighted that Resilience varied across hierarchy such that overall Resilience is significant at 1 % level with the mean score (112.92) of Senior Group I being the highest followed by the mean score of Senior Group II (111.89) followed by mean score of 107.38 of the Junior Group which is the lowest. The difference in the dimension of Perseverance is significant at 1% level as the mean score (27.73) of Junior grade is less than the other two groups. The dimension of Compassion is significant at 1 % level as compassion is less in the Junior Grade as compared to Senior Grade I and Senior Grade II. Finally, few intervention techniques have been suggested along with implications to enable further research.
Predicting postnatal depressive symptoms in a prospective cohort study in Rwanda: the impact of poor maternal social support

Background Postnatal depression is a significant public health issue that demands attention, and recent evidence indicates that rates are relatively high in low-income countries such as Rwanda. However, lack of social support is recognized as a potential risk factor for postnatal depressive symptoms. This study sought to explore the influence of poor maternal social support on postnatal depressive symptoms in a sample of women in Rwanda. Method A prospective cohort research design was conducted with women recruited from four different health centers in Rwanda's Southern Province. A sample of 396 pregnant women accessing antenatal care services was recruited at the baseline from their late second term or later, then followed up after giving birth. The dropout rate was 21.46%; thus, the data of 311 women were analyzed. The outcome variable was the presence of depressive symptoms (Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) (≥12 cut-off score), while predictor variables included maternal social support measured using a modified Maternal Social Support Scale (MSSS), perceived health status, socio-demographic information (marital status, wealth class, age, education, occupation), negative life events, gestational and obstetric information (parity, pregnancy intention, age at birth, children given birth, and mode of delivery). Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed. Results From a sample of 311 participants, over a quarter (20.9%) had elevated postnatal depressive symptoms (EPDS ≥ 12 scores). Elevated scores were predicted by poor perceived health status; respondents reporting neither poor nor good (AOR = 0.28, CI = 0.11; 0.72, p = 0.007) or good health (AOR = 0.14, CI = 0.05; 0.37, p = 0.001) were less likely to be affected. Poor maternal social support was also linked with postnatal depressive symptoms; poor partner support (AOR = 4.22; CI = 1.44; 12.34; p = 0.009) was associated with high risk, while good friend support (AOR = 0.47, CI = 0.23; 0.98, p = 0.04) was a significant protector. Additionally, violence or negative life events were also independent predictors of postnatal depressive symptoms (AOR: 2.94, CI: 1.37–6.29, p = 0.005). Conclusion Postnatal depressive symptoms were found to affect one in five Rwandan women. However, good maternal social support can be a strong protector. Early interventions targeting mothers in the postnatal period and strengthened social support networks for women at risk should be developed.
Data Integration and Modelling using Talend

The world revolves entirely around data. We are unable to find even the most fundamental facts without data. Data will grow as enterprises do. You can learn a lot of things with these data. Data integration must be considered in order to access this information. Data integration has a wide range of applications and is used to combine multiple heterogeneous data sets into homogenous data. Analysis, extraction, transformation, and loading are all components of integration. ETL is a key component of data integration and takes up the majority of the work. The concept of warehousing is crucial because it describes how data that has undergone the ETL step will be loaded and used for various purposes.
Evaluation of the Relationship between Family History and Occurrence, Anatomical Location, and Extent of Coronary Artery Disease among Patients Undergoing Coronary Angiography

Background A positive family history (FH) of coronary artery disease (CAD) is considered an independent risk factor for developing CAD. However, the relationship between the occurrence, angiographic anatomical location of the stenosis, and extent of CAD and the risk factors in the patients and their relatives is not well defined. Evaluation of this relationship is our main goal in this study. Methods In this descriptive cross-sectional study, the FH data for CAD and premature death in first-and second-degree relatives, angiographic anatomical location of the stenosis, the extent of CAD in the patients and their relatives, as well as the relationship between other risk factors and the extent of CAD, were collected from 300 adult patients undergoing coronary angiography at Farshchian cardiovascular hospital in Hamadan (Iran) between March 2020 and 2021. SPSS 24 and the chi-square, Fisher exact, and student t tests were used to analyze data. The significance level was considered P < 0.05. Results Out of 300 patients, 185 (61.7%) were men and 115 (38.3%) were women. A total of 177 patients (59%) in maternal and 82 patients (27.3%) in paternal relatives had an FH of CAD. There was a significant relationship between the severity of coronary artery involvement and risk factors (P < 0.001). Moreover, there was no significant relationship between the location of coronary artery involvement of the right coronary artery, left coronary artery, and left anterior descending artery and the severity of involvement of patients undergoing coronary angiography and their first- and second-degree relatives (P = 0.480). Conclusion Our findings suggest that there was no significant relationship between the anatomical location of the stenosis and the number of vessels involved and the FH of the patients. In patients with an FH, the extent of CAD significantly increased according to their risk factors for heart disease.
Constrained Galerkin variational integrators and modified constrained symplectic Runge-Kutta methods

The presented constrained Galerkin variational integrators base on the higher order variational integrators in [1], now applied to holonomically constrained systems and are an extension of the constrained Galerkin methods in [2]. Sufficient conditions are given to obtain a stiffly accurate integration scheme, its structure preserving properties are analysed and the convergence order as well as the computational efficiency are investigated numerically. The equivalence to constrained symplectic Runge-Kutta methods is shown, with focus on a modified constrained symplectic Runge-Kutta method, that was first introduced in [3], there for the unconstrained case.
A Practical Approach to Providing Environmental Enrichment to Pigs and Broiler Chickens Housed in Intensive Systems

Simple Summary In many countries, pigs and broiler chickens are housed in intensive systems. Pigs live on concrete floors and straw is not provided. Non-straw enrichments may not be as effective as straw, but they may improve the lives of millions of animals. In many countries, large retail and restaurant buyers have been major drivers of improvements in animal welfare. They used their economic influence to enforce basic welfare standards on farms. They have also been effective at improving animal welfare in slaughter plants. Buyers were often motivated by pressure from animal rights activists to address the issue of animal welfare. On farms, there are two types of welfare programs. They are specialized high welfare niche programs and supply chain programs that maintain basic standards for large commercial farms. This paper will emphasize research literature on practical environmental enrichments for pigs and broiler chickens that will be easy to implement. Pigs prefer enrichment objects that they can chew up and deform. Effective enrichment objects for broiler chickens are peck stones, ramps, platforms, and gradient lighting. It is essential to choose enrichments that the animals will actively engage with. Abstract In Europe, regulations contain guidance to maintain high standards of animal welfare. In many parts of the world, large buyers for supermarkets or restaurants are the main enforcers of basic animal welfare standards. They can have considerable influence on improving standards on large commercial farms. Research clearly shows that straw is one of the most effective environmental enrichment for pigs. On some large farms, there are concerns that straw will either clog waste management systems or bring in disease. This paper contains a review of both scientific research and practical experience with enrichment devices that are easy to implement. Pigs prefer enrichment objects that they can chew up and deform. Broiler chickens prefer to climb up on objects, hide under them or peck them. It is always essential to uphold basic welfare standards such as animal cleanliness and low levels of lameness (difficulty walking). It is also important to reduce lesions, and maintain body conditions of breeding animals. An environment enrichment device is never a substitute for poorly managed facilities. It should enhance animal welfare on well-managed farms.
Lexical items moving up the tree: grammaticalisation of ECM-verbs in Dutch

– the regular imperative is merged in V and raises to C (full argument structure, full morphological paradigm, open class, . . . ) – the inflected imperative is merged directly in C (properties of the lexical ECM-verb (secondary theta-role, basic lexical semantics), properties of being merged in a functional head (morphological deficiency, closed class, no argument structure) – the imperative used as a discourse marker is merged in a functional head higher than C (no argument structure, no morphological paradigm, closed class, no lexical meaning, . . . ) (see also Haegeman (2010))
Optical and noise studies for Advanced Virgo and filter cavities for quantum noise reduction in gravitational-wave interferometric detectors

L'astronomie gravitationnelle a debute en septembre 2015 avec la premiere detection de la fusion de deux trous noirs par LIGO. Depuis lors, plusieurs fusions de trous noirs et une fusion d'etoiles a neutrons ont ete observees. Advanced Virgo a rejoint les deux observatoires LIGO dans la prise de donnees en aout 2017, augmentant fortement les capacites de localisation du reseau. Afin d'exploiter pleinement le potentiel scientifique de ce nouveau domaine, un enorme effort experimental est necessaire pour ameliorer la sensibilite des interferometres. Cette these, developpee dans ce contexte, est composee de deux parties. La premiere concerne Advanced Virgo : nous avons developpe un budget de bruit automatique pour le bruit de frequence du laser et nous avons effectue des mesures de caracterisation optique pour les cavites de bras kilometriques. Des pertes aller-retour aussi faibles que 80 ppm ont ete mesurees. Elles sont parmi les plus basses jamais mesurees avec un faisceau de cette taille. La deuxieme partie concerne la conception et le developpement d'une cavite de filtrage de 300 m, un prototype pour demontrer la production de lumiere squeezing dependante de la frequence avec les proprietes necessaires pour une reduction du bruit quantique a large bande dans KAGRA, Advanced Virgo et Advanced LIGO. Nous avons contribue a la fois aux phases de conception et d'integration du projet. Nous avons d'abord fait le design optique de la cavite, y compris les specifications pour l'optique de la cavite et une estimation detaillee des sources de degradation pour le squeezing. Nous avons donc developpe un systeme de controle pour les miroirs, assemble les suspensions et finalement aligne et mis la cavite en resonance avec la lumiere laser

Mobilization of Storage Reserves in Dalbergia spruceana Benth. (Fabaceae) Seeds During Germination at Different Temperatures

Temperature may affect the mobilization and hydrolysis of storage reserves for energy production during seed germination. This study investigated germination performance and reserve mobilization in Dalbergia spruceana Benth. seeds incubation at 20, 25, 30, 35, and 40°C. The germination process was favored by incubation at 25 to 35°C and negatively affected at 20 and 40°C. At 35°C there reduction in germination speed, however, without significantly compromising the final germination percentage. The results showed that lipids and proteins are the predominant metabolites in D. spruceana seeds. Mobilization of soluble sugars was highest at 25 and 30°C. At 20 and 40°C, mobilization occurred more slowly, negatively affecting germination. This finding, combined with changes in lipid and protein reserves, suggests that lipid and protein hydrolysis products were used for starch synthesis. Reserve mobilization patterns in D. spruceana embryos were influenced by germination temperature, with the highest utilization efficiency occurring between 25 and 35°C.
Transformational leadership, job engagement, and championing behavior: assessing the mediating role of role clarity

Purpose This paper aims to examine how role clarity mediates the effect of transformational leadership on job engagement and championing behavior in support of the conservation of resources theory. Design/methodology/approach The authors used a cross-sectional approach to collect data from managerial/nonmanagerial employees within the Pakistani hospitality industry via online and offline questionnaires. A total of 170 responses were used in the data analysis using partial least squares structural equation modeling to test the hypothesized relationships. Findings Findings show that transformational leadership directly predicts improved role clarity and job engagement. Moreover, role clarity leads to job engagement and championing behavior. Role clarity exhibits a partial mediation effect on job engagement and full mediation on championing behavior. Originality/value To bridge the gap in leadership literature, this research assesses the underlying effect of role clarity on the relationship between transformational leadership and its positive outcomes. It provides theoretical and managerial implications regarding the role of transformational leadership characteristics and outcomes.
A Multiwavelength Study of Flaring Activity in the High-energy Peaked BL Lac Object 1ES 1959+650 During 2015–2016

We present the results from a multiwavelength study of the flaring activity in the high-energy peaked BL Lac object 1ES 1959+650 during 2015 January–2016 June. The source underwent two major outbursts, during 2015 March and 2015 October, across the whole electromagnetic spectrum (EMS). We used data from Fermi-LAT and Swift-XRT/UVOT, and optical data from Mt. Abu InfraRed Observatory and Steward Observatory to look for possible correlations between the emissions at different energies and the nature of the variability during the flaring state. During the 2015 October outburst, the nightly averaged V-band brightest magnitude, 14.45(0.03), and faintest magnitude, 14.45(0.03), were recorded. Apart from long-term flares, rapid and short-term variabilities were noticed at all energies. Our study suggests that the flaring activities at all frequencies, with diverse flare durations and time lags, are correlated. The magnetic field strength is estimated to be 4 G using the synchrotron-cooling timescale (2.3 hr), and the upper limits on the sizes of both emission regions, γ-ray and optical, are estimated to be of the order of 1016 cm. The quasi-simultaneous flux enhancements in 15 GHz and VHE γ-ray emissions indicate a fresh injection of plasma into the jet, which interacts with a standing submillimeter core, resulting in co-spatial emissions across the EMS. The synchrotron peak shifts to higher frequency in the spectral energy distribution while the γ-ray spectra softens during the flaring. The shape of the inverse-Compton spectra indicates a change in the particle energy distribution pre- and post-flare.

Convolution operators on spaces of entire functions

We show that nontrivial convolution operators on certain spaces of entire functions on E are frequently hypercyclic when E is a normed space and when E is the strong dual of a Fréchet nuclear space. We also obtain results of existence and approximation for convolution equations on certain spaces of entire functions on arbitrary locally convex spaces.
Comparing reappraisal and acceptance strategies to understand the neural architecture of emotion regulation: a meta-analytic approach

Introduction In the emotion regulation literature, the amount of neuroimaging studies on cognitive reappraisal led the impression that the same top-down, control-related neural mechanisms characterize all emotion regulation strategies. However, top-down processes may coexist with more bottom-up and emotion-focused processes that partially bypass the recruitment of executive functions. A case in point is acceptance-based strategies. Method To better understand neural commonalities and differences behind different emotion regulation processes, in the present study, we applied the Activation Likelihood Estimation (ALE) method to perform a meta-analysis on fMRI studies investigating task-related activity of reappraisal and acceptance. Both increased and decreased brain activity was taken into account in the contrast and conjunction analysis between the two strategies. Results Results showed increased activity in left-inferior frontal gyrus and insula for both strategies, and decreased activity in the basal ganglia for reappraisal, and decreased activity in limbic regions for acceptance. Discussion These findings are discussed in the context of a model of common and specific neural mechanisms of emotion regulation that support and expand the previous dual-routes models. We suggest that emotion regulation may rely on a core inhibitory circuit, and on strategy-specific top-down and bottom-up processes distinct for different strategies.
Study of the performance of the Pierre Auger Observatory and search for primary cosmic ray photons

Astroparticle physics is now entering the very exciting phase in which the efforts to enhance the detection capabilities of our instruments begin to turn out into clear answers. In this context the Pierre Auger Observatory (PAO) has been conceived to study the extensive air showers produced by the primary cosmic rays at energies above 10 18 eV in their interaction with the Earth’s atmosphere, in order to solve the mystery of the origin and nature of the highest energy particles. The PAO design combines the most advanced detection techniques and the largest exposure, to provide high data quality together with unprecedented statistics. In addition, two experimental sites, one nearly completed in the southern hemisphere and the other to be built in the northern one will achieve full sky coverage, and the largest exposure ever. The PAO collaboration benefits from the contribution of about 300 scientists from 17 countries. The Wuppertal group is highly involved in physics analysis and the study and monitoring of the detector performance. Moreover its tasks involve hardware development and testing. More than half of the 11 000 optical modules for the fluorescence detector telescopes have been qualified with a highly automatised test setup. Details on the experimental requirements and test results are presented in Section 4.3, (see [24]). The performance of the fluorescence detector (FD) reconstruction algorithm has been studied at different selection levels with dedicated simulations. In Chapter 5 the FD trigger efficiency and the geometry resolutions are calculated. A realistic estimate of the hybrid resolution of the physics observables (depth of shower maximum and energy) is also given, see [108]. This work includes the extension of the reconstruction capabilities to the highest energies covered by the FD dynamic range [136]. Discrimination of different primaries is based on their expected shower features, for instance the depth shower maximum, X max . In Chapter 6 the composition sensitivity of other parameters connected to the shape of the longitudinal shower profile is evaluated in order to achieve an enhancement of the separation power between photon and hadron primaries [139]. No claim for photon observation at the highest energies has been reported so far. For this work an update of the first limit to the fraction of photons in cosmic rays above 10 EeV [119], based on the measurement of X max has been performed, see Section 7.2, reported in [21]. Finally, limits above 2, 3.16, 5 and 10 EeV are derived using the Pierre Auger hybrid data sample Jan 2004–July 2007, see Section 7.3. The expected impact of a photon contamination of this order on the measurement of the inelastic proton-air cross section is briefly discussed in Section 7.4. Our limits confirm the ones derived by ground-based experiments at higher energies and they strongly constrain the non-acceleration models invoked to explain the origin of the ultra high energy cosmic rays, thus favoring astrophysical scenarios.
