Leader impression management and employee voice behavior: Trust and suspicion as mediators
Authors: Zhou Xingchi , Liao Jian-Qiao , Liu Yuhao , Liao Shudi
Published: September 2017

We explored the relationship between employee perceptions of leader impression management behavior (self-serving and prosocial) and employee voice behavior from the perspectives of social exchange and social cognition theories. We built a conceptual model in which the importance of
the mediating effects of trust and suspicion were emphasized, in order to explain the mechanism of how leader impression management affects employee voice behavior. To test the model, we analyzed empirical data from 71 supervisors and 241 subordinates (71 supervisor–subordinate dyads)
employed by companies in central and southern China. The results showed that trust and suspicion both played significant mediating roles in the relationship between leader impression management and employee voice behavior. These findings suggest counterintuitively that trust and suspicion
are separate constructs. Managers should consider not only building employee trust but also minimizing employee suspicion as 2 distinct areas of management practice.

Authors: Zhu Qianyu , Wachenheim Cheryl J. , Ma Zhiyao , Zhu Cong
Published: September 2017

Benefits of cooperative organization in agriculture come from price advantages in procurement and marketing, cost reductions and efficiency gains from sharing of productive assets and processes, and improved access to and increased efficiency in using credit, logistics, and information. Efficacy of strategic activities designed to capture these advantages is investigated empirically in a case study of the Tonghui Agricultural Cooperative in Inner Mongolia, an autonomous region of China. Information from interviews, on-site visits, evaluation of cooperative, member and partner information, and participation in the advising process are used to evaluate the impact of efforts to re-engineer the supply chain for independent farmers through cooperative organization. Specific examples of marketing channel development and operation for Wallace melons and mutton represent implementation of strategic plans. The case also reviews the cooperative’s credit system, designed increase access to and reduced cost of funds for members, use of alternative market venues, and horizontal expansion through tourism.
United Agricultural Cooperative: considering the sale of the agronomy division
Authors: Siebert John W. , Park John L.
Published: September 2017

This case study examines a common agricultural cooperative structure in the United States, namely that of a business which both sells farm supplies to its members and also markets, to others, the agricultural products of its members. The case concerns whether the United Agricultural Cooperative should sell the cooperative’s agronomy supply division. This division sells fertilizer, chemicals and seed. It also provides related services. The cooperative has received an acquisition inquiry from rapidly expanding agricultural retailer, Pinnacle Agricultural Holdings, LLC. The case allows readers to examine both detailed financial information as well as the cooperative’s political environment. The case ends with readers being asked to recommend a decision; namely should the cooperative sell the agronomy division or should it be kept? Professors can read the authors’ teaching note to learn recommended classroom teaching strategies and also to learn the actual decision which was made by this cooperative.
Performance Analysis of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor Drive using Particle Swarm Optimization Technique
Authors: Yadav Deepti , Verma Dr. Arunima
Published: September 2017

Permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM), a nonlinear speed controller design based on Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) technique is presented in this paper. For tuning the PID controller, the speed control for PMSM was analyzed using PSO algorithm to optimize the parameters in terms of proportional gain (Kp), integral gain (Ki), and derivative gain (Kd). Moreover, the overall system is evaluated under various operating conditions such as starting, braking, load application and load removal. Besides this, comparison between speed control of PMSM using Ziegler-Nichols (Z-N) method and speed control of PMSM with PSO technique has been carried out. These analyses are estimated in terms of dynamic and static response. The transient response are examined in terms of settling time (ts), rise time (tr), peak time (tp), and peak overshoot (Mp). Overall, PID speed controller with PSO technique shows that the proposed method has improved the performance under the various operating conditions.
Serbs on Corsica in the Great War. Part 1
Authors: Popovic-Filipovic Slavica
Published: September 2017

Historians and historical research of the role of the Serbian nation in the Great War give ample respect and recognition of the great battles and great victories. However, the exodus of the Serbian people and its armies out of Serbia is also not forgotten. Neither are the Salonika Front, nor other battlefronts. Less well known and researched is the fate of 35,000 young Serbian recruits, the young people dispersed to distant lands. This research is concentrated on the fate of the Serbian refugees in Corsica, on those who helped them, looked after them, and treated them to recovery, and who themselves came there from other parts of the world. Those Serbian refugees in Corsica were looked after by the representatives of diplomatic, humanitarian, and medical missions from Serbia, France, and Great Britain. The life of the Serbian refugee colony in Corsica was organized, financed, and supported by the Royal Serbian Government in exile in France, the French Relief Committee for the wounded, sick, and refugees, the Serbian Relief Fund, the Scottish Women?s Hospitals for Foreign Service, the local authorities, and numerous individuals in Corsica. We have paid particular attention to the Scottish Women?s Hospital in Corsica that provided a special hospital unit called ?Corsica Unit,? situated in Ajaccio, with the isolation ward in Lazaret, and ambulances and dispensaries located in various villages, where the Serbian refugees were billeted. At the time of centennial commemorations of the Great War, we want to express our profound gratitude to the humanitarian and medical assistance from all quarters, and in particular to the Scottish Women?s Hospitals, and Dr. Elsie Inglis, the founder and the leader of this medical mission.

Can rapid maxillary expansion cause auditory improvement in children and adolescents with hearing loss? A systematic review
Authors: Fagundes Nathalia Carolina Fernandes , Rabello Nicole Melres , Maia Lucianne Cople , Normando David , Mello Karina Corrêa Flexa Ribeiro
Published: September 2017

Objective:

To evaluate whether the use of palatal expansion techniques can influence hearing loss in children and adolescents with previous hearing impairment.

Materials and Methods:

Electronic searches in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, The Cochrane Library, Lilacs, OpenGrey, and Google Scholar were performed with a controlled vocabulary and free-text terms relating to palatal expansion and hearing loss. No language or time restrictions were imposed. Clinical trials that focused on human patients treated with rapid or semirapid maxillary expansion in children and teenagers with hearing loss were included. Data extraction was undertaken by two authors, with conflict resolution by a third author. Risk of bias assessment and data extraction were performed on the selected studies.

Results:

Seventy-four citations were retrieved by the search. Initially, 12 studies were selected according to the eligibility criteria, but three studies were excluded because of the presence of adults, absence of hearing level evaluation, and oversampling, resulting in nine studies. The mean improvement in hearing levels varied from 2 to 19 dB among the studies. The risk of bias varied from low to moderate risk.

Conclusions:

The evidence indicated that there was a hearing improvement after maxillary expansion in patients with hearing loss in the evaluated studies, although more controlled and randomized studies are necessary to investigate this issue further.
Treatment outcomes of Class II malocclusion cases treated with miniscrew-anchored Forsus Fatigue Resistant Device: A randomized controlled trial
Authors: Eissa Osama , El-Shennawy Mahmoud , Gaballah Safaa , El-Meehy Ghada , El Bialy Tarek
Published: September 2017

Objective:

To evaluate the skeletal, dental, and soft tissue effects of the Forsus Fatigue Resistant Device (FRD) used with miniscrew anchorage and compare them with those of the conventional Forsus FRD.

Materials and Methods:

This study was carried out on 38 patients. These patients were randomly allocated into three groups. The 14 patients in group 1 (aged 12.76 ± 1.0 years) were treated with the FRD appliance. In group 2, the 15 patients (aged 12.52 ± 1.12 years) received treatment with FRD using miniscrew anchorage, and the 9 patients in group 3 (aged 12.82 ± 0.9 years) received no treatment as a control group. Linear and angular measurements were made on lateral cephalograms before and immediately after Forsus treatment. Data were analyzed statistically using paired t-, ANOVA, and Tukey tests.

Results:

Class I molar relationship and overjet correction were achieved in both treatment groups. Although mandibular growth was statistically nonsignificant, there was a significant headgear effect on the maxilla. Mandibular incisor proclination, maxillary incisor retroclination, and distalization of maxillary molars were significant in both treatment groups. However, no significant differences were found between the treatment groups.

Conclusions:

Class II correction was mainly dentoalveolar in both treatment groups. Use of miniscrews with Forsus did not enhance mandibular forward growth nor prevent labial tipping of the mandibular incisors.
Adipocyte Liver Kinase b1 Suppresses Beige Adipocyte Renaissance Through Class IIa Histone Deacetylase 4
Authors: Wang Yangmeng , Paulo Esther , Wu Dongmei , Wu Yixuan , Huang Wendong , Chawla Ajay , Wang Biao
Published: September 2017

Uncoupling protein 1+ beige adipocytes are dynamically regulated by environment in rodents and humans; cold induces formation of beige adipocytes, whereas warm temperature and nutrient excess lead to their disappearance. Beige adipocytes can form through de novo adipogenesis; however, how “beiging” characteristics are maintained afterward is largely unknown. In this study, we show that beige adipocytes formed postnatally in subcutaneous inguinal white adipose tissue lost thermogenic gene expression and multilocular morphology at the adult stage, but cold restored their beiging characteristics, a phenomenon termed beige adipocyte renaissance. Ablation of these postnatal beige adipocytes inhibited cold-induced beige adipocyte formation in adult mice. Furthermore, we demonstrated that beige adipocyte renaissance was governed by liver kinase b1 and histone deacetylase 4 in white adipocytes. Although neither presence nor thermogenic function of uncoupling protein 1+ beige adipocytes contributed to metabolic fitness in adipocyte liver kinase b1–deficient mice, our results reveal an unexpected role of white adipocytes in maintaining properties of preexisting beige adipocytes.

Published: September 2017

Dysregulation of gene expression in islets from patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) might be causally involved in the development of hyperglycemia, or it could develop as a consequence of hyperglycemia (i.e., glucotoxicity). To separate the genes that could be causally involved in pathogenesis from those likely to be secondary to hyperglycemia, we exposed islets from human donors to normal or high glucose concentrations for 24 h and analyzed gene expression. We compared these findings with gene expression in islets from donors with normal glucose tolerance and hyperglycemia (including T2D). The genes whose expression changed in the same direction after short-term glucose exposure, as in T2D, were considered most likely to be a consequence of hyperglycemia. Genes whose expression changed in hyperglycemia but not after short-term glucose exposure, particularly those that also correlated with insulin secretion, were considered the strongest candidates for causal involvement in T2D. For example, ERO1LB, DOCK10, IGSF11, and PRR14L were downregulated in donors with hyperglycemia and correlated positively with insulin secretion, suggesting a protective role, whereas TMEM132C was upregulated in hyperglycemia and correlated negatively with insulin secretion, suggesting a potential pathogenic role. This study provides a catalog of gene expression changes in human pancreatic islets after exposure to glucose.
Cut Points for Identifying Clinically Significant Diabetes Distress in Adolescents With Type 1 Diabetes Using the PAID-T: Results From Diabetes MILES Youth–Australia
Authors: Hagger Virginia , Hendrieckx Christel , Cameron Fergus , Pouwer Frans , Skinner Timothy C. , Speight Jane
Published: September 2017

OBJECTIVE

To establish cut point(s) for the Problem Areas in Diabetes–teen version (PAID-T) scale to identify adolescents with clinically meaningful, elevated diabetes distress.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

Data were available from the Diabetes Management and Impact for Long-term Empowerment and Success (MILES) Youth–Australia Study, a national survey assessing various psychosocial indicators among self-selected National Diabetes Services Scheme registrants. Participants in the current study (n = 537) were (mean ± SD) 16 ± 2 years old, had type 1 diabetes for 6 ± 4 years, and 62% (n = 334) were girls. They completed measures of diabetes distress (PAID-T) and depressive symptoms (Patient Health Questionnaire for Adolescents) and self-reported their most recent HbA1c and frequency of self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG). Relationships between the PAID-T and the psychological and clinical variables were examined to identify a clinically meaningful threshold for elevated diabetes distress. ANOVA was used to test whether these variables differed by levels of distress.

RESULTS

Two cut points distinguished none-to-mild (<70), moderate (70–90), and high (>90) diabetes distress. Moderate distress was experienced by 18% of adolescents and high distress by 36%. Mean depressive symptoms, self-reported HbA1c, and SMBG differed significantly across the three levels of diabetes distress (all P < 0.001), with moderate-to-large effect sizes.

CONCLUSIONS

Using the PAID-T, this study defined two clinically meaningful cut points to distinguish none-to-mild, moderate, and high diabetes distress in adolescents (aged 13–19). Based on these cut points, most respondents experienced at least moderate diabetes distress, which was clinically significant. Establishing thresholds for elevated diabetes distress will aid clinicians and researchers to interpret PAID-T scores, prompt discussion and intervention for those with unmet needs, and enable the effectiveness of interventions to be evaluated.

Authors: Rodríguez Pérez Ivonne
Published: September 2017

Para que la educación superior sea parte de la sociedad del conocimiento necesita replantear la forma de enseñar, de manera que genere en los alumnos, aprendizaje autodirigido, educación a lo largo de la vida, y una formación integral. Los altos índices de reprobación y deserción, rezago y bajos índices de eficiencia terminal, son retos que tienen que enfrentar las Instituciones de Educación Superior (IES). Para tratar de disminuir la situación anterior se implementan diversas estrategias, una de ellas es orientar académicamente al alumno, al considerar que los alumnos tienen capacidades y potencialidades propias. Por ello cada estudiante requiere un acompañamiento personalizado, que le proporcione los fundamentos necesarios para tomar mejores decisiones respecto a su formación profesional. La actividad tutorial tiene una especial relevancia, ya que complementa la labor docente. El objetivo de este trabajo fue mejorar la calidad del proceso educativo a través de la atención personalizada a los problemas que intervienen en el desempeño académico de los estudiantes, para de esta manera lograr disminuir los porcentajes de reprobación y deserción. Al considerar lo anterior surge la necesidad de modificar el programa de tutoría con forme a las nuevas necesidades de los estudiantes, así como de una renovación de las estrategias tutoriales. La metodología utilizada fue hacer un diagnóstico de los problemas presentados por los alumnos durante 2016. Con base en los datos recabados se procedió al análisis de estos y se encontró lo siguiente: problemas de tipo académico en diversas áreas del conocimiento, con acento en el área de matemáticas; problemas de hábitos de estudio, de comprensión lectora, administración del tiempo, entre otros. Por ello, fue necesario modificar el  programa de tutoría académica, con las estrategias a seguir para atender las necesidades detectadas en los alumnos, modificar la actividad tutorial, dar seguimiento y evaluar las acciones de los tutores.

Effect of zirconia in the density and ionic conductivity properties of Bi4V1.8Cu0.1Zn0.1O10.7 compound
Authors: Silva AB , Rueda-P Jorge-E , Gomes K Q
Published: September 2017

Ceramics based bismuth vanadate are conductors of oxygen ions and they are used as solid electrolytes in pressure sensors and fuel cells. These materials operate at temperatures above 700 °C. At high temperatures, the bismuth-vanadium oxide (Bi4V2O11) has a g-phase with a large number of oxygen vacancies that favors the ionic conductivity. The g-phase of the Bi4V2O11 was stabilized at room temperature by partial substitution of vanadium (V5+) ions by cuprum (Cu2+) and zinc (Zn2+) ions to provide high ionic conductivity values between 100 and 400oC. Thus, polycrystalline samples of Bi4V1.8Cu0.1Zn0.1O10.7 were obtained after 4h sintering at 800 °C. Investigations were made about densification process and ionic conductivity related to the effect of addition of the yttria-stabilized zirconia (Zr0.88Y0.12O1.94).

Published: September 2017

En la presente investigación se busca demostrar la importancia que tiene la aplicación de la logística en las empresas de transporte y envíos de mercancías, siendo esta una excelente herramienta, que podría producir grandes ventajas competitivas, entre las cuales cabe mencionar, primero que nada la adecuación con base a la exigencia y necesidad del cliente, así como la mejora de la calidad en el servicio, abatiendo costos en todos los procesos, que tiene como efecto e impacto el poder ofrecer precios competitivos en pro de la satisfacción de los clientes. La investigación se llevó a cabo en el colectivo de las pequeñas cooperativas o empresas de transportes de pasajeros y envíos de mercancía, cuyas sedes están ubicadas en Colombia, departamento de Norte de Santander, principalmente en los municipios de Cúcuta, Ocaña y Pamplona. Se realizó bajo un enfoque de tipo cuantitativo, nivel descriptivo-proyectivo y diseño de campo, para lo cual se dividieron los elementos objetos de estudio en dos poblaciones: Población 1 cuya unidad de muestreo son los transportadores de pasajeros y mercancías y población 2 que corresponde a los clientes o usuarios del servicio de transporte de pasajeros y envíos de encomiendas. Después de analizar los resultados del trabajo de campo, se pudo concluir que las empresas no cuentan con procesos logísticos innovadores y estructuras físicas adecuadas para la prestación del servicio, como lo evidencia la ausencia de uso de técnicas logísticas como cross-docking, picking y paking, paletizaje, embalaje y trazabilidad, así mismo presentan una baja capacitación de personal y un deficiente confort, seguridad y calidad en servicio prestado. Sin embargo las empresas aun poseen un buen nivel de fidelidad por parte de los usuarios, lo que permite inferir que esta fidelidad responde más a la tradición de uso que a la satisfacción recibida

Проаналізовані зміни клітинного імунітету у хворих при синдромі діабетичної стопи (СДС). Відзначено тенденцію до збільшення на 28,7% абсолютної кількості загального пулу Т–лімфоцитів, проте, зменшення їх відносної кількості на 16,5%. При цьому виявлені імунні розлади першого (у 62,5% хворих) та другого (у 37,5%) ступеня. Можливою причиною таких змін є те, що збудниками гнійно–некротичних процесів м’яких тканин є умовно патогенні мікроорганізми, локалізовані у позаклітинних просторах, проти яких формується в основному гуморальна імунна відповідь, на відміну від імунної відповіді проти внутрішньоклітинних збудників, що забезпечує клітинна ланка імунітету.
Ендопротезування кульшового суглоба у хворих з приводу посттравматичного коксартрозу

Застосований диференційований підхід до ендопротезування кульшового суглоба (КС) у 29 хворих з приводу посттравматичного коксартрозу. Тривалість спостереження 3,5 року. Функціональний стан КС за шкалою Harris збільшився у середньому з 35 до 87 балів. Рентгенологічні ознаки нестабільності компонентів ендопротеза не виявлені. Отримані результати свідчать, що відновлення центру ротації КС після реконструкції стінок кульшової западини з огляду на тип дефекту та встановлення чашки ендопротеза на місце анатомічної кульшової западини, використання чашок "press–fit" фіксації, головок великого діаметра дозволило мінімізувати частоту ускладнень, досягти позитивних результатів ендопротезування.

Analyse juridique de la relation entre stress et harcèlement
Authors: Deharo Gaëlle , Point Sébastien
Published: September 2017

L’objectif de cette contribution est d’identifier les frontières entre les notions de « stress » et de « harcèlement » du point de vue juridique. L’analyse se fonde sur 59 arrêts de la Cour de cassation. Les résultats montrent que le stress est insuffisant pour caractériser un harcèlement moral et doit être corroboré par d’autres éléments : modifications de l’organisation du travail, anormalité du stress, dégradation de l’état de santé ou relations stressantes. Cette étude permet d’éclairer le manager sur la gestion des risques de condamnations que représentent ces situations souvent confuses et ambiguës.
Les stratégies low-cost, outil de lutte pertinent contre la pauvreté ?
Authors: Sanchez Christophe
Published: September 2017

Dans un contexte d’accroissement des situations d’exclusion et de hausse des dépenses contraintes pour les ménages pauvres, les stratégies low-cost ont pu rencontrer un certain engouement lié à leur capacité à lutter contre la pauvreté. Les auteurs montrent dans cet article que ces stratégies ne se révèlent pas être un outil de lutte pertinent contre la pauvreté. En effet, si elles ont un intérêt financier indéniable pour les plus pauvres, elles ne leur sont pas facilement accessibles et ne contribuent guère à développer leurs capabilités.
Progression of trunk imbalance in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis with a thoracolumbar/lumbar curve: is it predictable at the initial visit?
Authors: Hwang Chang Ju , Lee Choon Sung , Lee Dong-Ho , Cho Jae Hwan
Published: September 2017

OBJECTIVE

Progression of trunk imbalance is an important finding during follow-up of patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). Nevertheless, no factors that predict progression of trunk imbalance have been identified. The purpose of this study was to identify parameters that predict progression of trunk imbalance in cases of AIS with a structural thoracolumbar/lumbar (TL/L) curve.

METHODS

This study included 105 patients with AIS and a structural TL/L curve who were followed up at an outpatient clinic. Patients with trunk imbalance (trunk shift ≥ 20 mm) at the initial visit were excluded. All patients were followed up for more than 2 years. Patients were divided into the following groups according to progression of trunk imbalance: 1) Group P, trunk shift ≥ 20 mm at the final visit and degree of progression ≥ 10 mm; and 2) Group NP, trunk shift < 20 mm at the final visit or degree of progression < 10 mm. Radiological parameters included Cobb angle, upper end vertebrae and lower end vertebrae (LEV), LEV tilt, disc wedge angle between LEV and LEV+1, trunk shift, apical vertebral translation, and apical vertebral rotation (AVR). Each parameter was compared between groups. Radiological parameters were assessed at every visit using whole-spine standing anteroposterior radiographs.

RESULTS

Among the 105 patients examined, 13 showed trunk imbalance with progression ≥ 10 mm at the final visit (Group P). Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified a lower Risser grade (p = 0.002) and a greater initial AVR (p = 0.020) as predictors of progressive trunk imbalance. A change in LEV tilt during follow-up was associated with trunk imbalance (p = 0.001).

CONCLUSIONS

Risser grade and AVR measured at the initial visit may predict progression of trunk imbalance. Surgeons should consider the risk of progressive trunk imbalance if patients show skeletal immaturity and a greater AVR at the initial visit.
Resilience in a Mountain Range: The Case of the Tadrart Acacus (Southwest Libya)
Authors: Biagetti Stefano
Published: September 2017

Between 2003-2011, a research programme in southwest Fazzan (Libya) aimed at understanding the resilience of the Kel Tadrart Tuareg, currently inhabiting the Acacus Mts. Using a multi-pronged approach featuring oral interviews, participant observation, mapping of settlements and localisation of natural resources, the Kel Tadrarts' interaction with the landscape was investigated, and traditional (local) ecological knowledge turned out to be a key factor in the successful adaptation of the Kel Tadrart to erratic rainfall and meagre pastures. The study of Kel Tadrart resilience has fostered new interpretation of the recent past of the region, developed under the framework of the Theory of Resilience.

and the Horsemen of the Asiatic Steppe
Authors: Willekes Carolyn
Published: September 2017

The horse has been an essential component to life on the Asiatic steppe since its domestication c. 5,500 years ago. The importance of the horse to these nomadic peoples can be seen not only in the portrayal of equines in both art and literature, as well as their presence in the archaeological record, but also through their role in the daily life of these horse cultures. This is particularly apparent in the significance of traditional horse sports to the nomads of the region. This article examines two of these 'folk' competitions:
