Organization Development and Performance: The Impact of Employee Benefit Programs on Employee Work Behavior
Authors: Khattak Asmat Nawaz
Published: February 2022

Employee Work Behaviour (EWB) is a critical aspect of organizational culture that has a substantial impact on productivity and performance. Employees are expected to behave positively at work in order to build and maintain a healthy corporate culture. Employee benefit programs are implemented by companies to increase employee commitment and performance. Employee Commitment (EC) is another important cultural attribute of a high-performing workplace. The impact of the Employee Old-Age Benefit Institute (EOBI) (Old Age Pension) on EWB was investigated, as well as the involvement of EC as a mediating factor. A quantitative research approach was used to assess the impact of EOBI (Old-Age Pension) on EWB. All EOBI-registered business units in Lahore, Pakistan, make up the population. The list of business units was provided by the EOBI office in Lahore, Pakistan. We chose a sample of 145 units from a sampling frame of five hundred using a basic random sampling approach. The study's findings demonstrate a positive and substantial relationship between EOBI (Old Age Pension) and EWB, as well as a positive and significant relationship between EC and EWB. The EC partially mediates the relationship between EOBI (Old Age Pension) and EWB. employee benefit programmes are suggested as a way to improve job performance and dedication, according to the study's findings.
Editorial Note
Authors: Shaikh Sadia
Published: February 2022

With immense pleasure and pride, the new edition of the Journal of Entrepreneurship, Management, and Innovation (JEMI) is presented to our esteemed readers. The latest issue of JEMI promises a unique assortment of novel research papers on diverse topics in entrepreneurship and management studies. In this issue, national and international authors have contributed considerably and shared their meticulously written research papers for publication in the journal.
The latest issue of JEMI emphasizes research studies on areas including entrepreneurial development, human resource management, marketing & financial management and other related subjects. Moreover, most of the papers in this issue have highlighted the entrepreneurial concerns, challenges, and unexploited opportunities from the developing world perspective.
With the changing world business dynamics, business analytics not only foresee a tremendous shift in business processes and operations, but also a massive disruption in business ecosystems is predicted. For entrepreneurial ventures and small start-ups, which are seen as more prone to these shocks, it is essential for managers to adopt pro-active and resilient approaches, for survival and longevity.
Resisting and surviving external shocks such as economic, climatic, ecological, catastrophic, and socio-political disasters has been a centre point of the literature in organizational studies. Economies and organizations alike have limited ability to resist sudden shocks which change their usual course of the working mechanism. In general, in the aftermath, the repercussions and rigours of the endured shocks yield businesses the strength to endure the changes constructed by the tremors, help them understand their potency, and provide them with the agility to resist against the tenacity of the shocks. Thus, the papers in this issue, in their unique way, highlight the issues concerning business ventures and provide some useful insights on the constructive perspectives to address those concerns.
To conclude, it is important to keep in mind that the articles published in this journal represent the collective thinking of a group of innovative individuals with whom I am privileged to interact and work meticulously during the publication process. The editorial team at JEMI strives hard to make the journal a premier academic journal in the national and international academic community and thus tries to be diverse and dynamic in all aspects.
As JEMI aims to strengthen relationships between the knowledge communities, professional institutions, and industries in the corporate world, we, from the next issue, intend to dedicate an entire section to specific industry-related research. For this, the editorial team has decided to call the papers relating to the scope of this journal with tourism enterprises and businesses, for our next issue.

Cómo debe ser el lenguaje de nuestras homilías
Authors: Bautista Nieto Gabriel
Published: February 2022

Una de las formas de evangelización que tiene la Iglesia es a través de la predicación clerical. Cada vez que el presbítero sube al púlpito pretende convertir a los fieles, facilitando el diálogo de Dios con su pueblo. Para ello construye su homilía de una determinada forma y manera. Y la elección que haga del lenguaje, de los medios con los que construya la homilía no es indiferente. El presente artículo recala sobre la importancia y las posibilidades que este instrumento comunicativo tiene para hacer llegar el mensaje de manera eficaz a quien va dirigido. Para que una homilía sea eficaz no hace falta solo que esté bien construida y atienda a su fin principal, sino que es necesario que se exprese en un lenguaje asequible y cercano a quienes le van a escuchar. Sin este requisito indispensable, todos los esfuerzos quedarán en balde. Por ello aquí nos queremos adentrar en las posibilidades del lenguaje oral, del no verbal y de la utilización de las imágenes en la predicación. Existen gran cantidad de recursos retóricos que el presbítero tiene a su disposición y que es preciso que sepa y quiera usar en el momento adecuado.
Effect of Heterogeneity and Heterozygosity on Agronomic Performance of the Semi-arid Grown Faba Bean (Vicia faba L.)
Authors: Gasim Seif M. , Mohamed Alam A.
Published: February 2022

In faba bean, the genotypically heterogeneous structure of itspopulation has an important impact on yield performance and remains themajor constraint a plant breeder has to contend with to improve the cropyield. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of heterogeneity andheterozygosity on yield performance of the semi-arid grown faba bean. Fivefaba bean inbred lines (in S6 generation), F1 and F2 generations as well asmixtures formed by blending an equal amount of seeds from each of them toproduce line mixture, F-1 mixture and F2-mixtures were used to execute theexperiment. The seeds of the pure lines, lines mixture and F1-and F2-mixturewere grown in two consecutive seasons (2014/2015-2015/2016) at theExperimental Farm, Faculty of Agriculture, Shambat in a randomizedcomplete block design with three replicates. Data were collected on yield andyield components. Heterogeneity in lines mixture caused a positive andsignificant increase of +16% in number of pods per plant and 11% increase inboth 100-seed weight and yield compared to pure lines performance, whereasheterogeneity in "pure lines+ F1-hybrid and that in pure lines mixture+ F1-hybrid mixture gave significant positive yield of 28% and 24% , respectivelywhen compared to the performance of F2 and F2 mixture. Heterozygosity in

F1 gave significant positive yield increase of 67% when compared to linesperformance, whereas heterozyosity in F1-mixture gave significant yieldincrease of 60% when compared to lines mixture. The same effect was shownby yield components. The results clearly indicate the great positive effect ofheterozyosity compared to that of heterogeneity, which indicate thepossibility of production of synthetic cultivars as alternative to the still notyet commercially produced hybrids in faba bean.

Published: February 2022

The study was conducted in‘Elrosieris’area, Blue Nile State, Sudan, at the end of autumn season on Novermber, 2018 to investigate the impact of land use type on natural rangelands vegetation. Two sites were selected; namely rangelands and abandoned croplands. Three transects of 100 m length were placed randomly in each of these sites. Species composition,plants cover and ground cover were determined using Parker loop method along these transects. Plant density (Plant/m2), frequency, biomass productivity (ton/ha) and carrying capacity, Tropical Livestock Unit (TLU/ha/yr) were determined using quadrate method applied along these transects. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistic and T- test. Theresults revealed that plant cover was higher in rangeland (87%) compared to abandoned cropland (79%). Bare soil was lower in rangeland (4%) than in abandoned cropland (8%). Pennisetum ramsum was dominant species inrangeland (70.67%) and less so in abandoned cropland (25.33%). Plant density was higher in rangeland (34.67 plant/m2) compared to abandoned cropland (11.58 plant/m2). The difference in productivity and carryingcapacity were very slight. The study concluded that Pennisetum ramsum was dominant in terms of cover and composition regardless of land use type. Plant density was better in rangeland. The differences in yield and carryingcapacity were close regarding land use pattern.

Raptors and Power Lines
Authors: Watkins Noel
Published: February 2022

During the last 30 years, bird mortality caused by overhead wires has been an increasing concern of conservationists, environmental management authorities, and electric companies. Electric companies’ concerns stem in part from power outages that can be caused by these incidents. Animals are the third leading cause of power outages across the US and birds cause more outages than any other animal (Harness and Wilson 1998). This issue is important to conservationists because populations of endangered species may be unable to compensate for the deaths caused by utility structures (Bevanger 1998). In 1992, three of the eight California condors (Gymnogyps californianus) released into the wild from a captive breeding program were found electrocuted (Bevanger 1998).

Bordetella in Young Rabbits and Squirrels
Authors: DeCubellis Julie , Shenoy Karen
Published: February 2022

Bordetella bronchiseptica is a small gram–negative rod bacterium and a common inhabitant of the respiratory tract of rabbits and rodents. The organism is associated with upper respiratory tract infections including ‘snuffles’ in rabbits. In addition, B. bronchiseptica may be a primary respiratory pathogen in rodents and cats, a cause of tracheobronchitis (kennel cough) in dogs, atrophic rhinitis in pigs, and an uncommon but mild ‘whooping cough’ like syndrome in immunosuppressed humans. The organism has also been cultured in juvenile squirrels presenting to wildlife rehabilitation centers with upper respiratory infections (K. Shenoy and L. Davis, unpublished observations).

Parvovirus Outbreak in Raccoons (Procyon lotor) being Rehabilitated at Wildcat Wildlife Center
Authors: Blandford Matt
Published: February 2022

Parvovirus infection in raccoons (Procyon lotor) is a potentially devastating disease for rehabilitation centers that work with large numbers of raccoons annually. Raccoons are reportedly affected by three related parvoviruses including raccoon parvovirus, feline parvovirus (panleukopenia or feline distemper), and mink parvovirus (mink enteritis virus). The disease primarily affects young raccoons and is characterized by depression, bloody diarrhea, and sudden death. The importance of parvoviral infections in free–ranging raccoons is not known but is potentially a substantial source of mortality. During July and August of 2007, a parvovirus outbreak killed 26 of 98 raccoons being rehabilitated at the Wildcat Wildlife Center (WWC) in Delphi, Indiana. The raccoons presented with lethargy, anorexia, diarrhea, and loss of motor skills. Euthanasia was necessary for several of the severely affected animals. Two animals were submitted to the Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory in West Lafayette, Indiana, where veterinary pathologists reported myeloid hypoplasia and histopathologic lesions consistent with parvoviral enteritis, although no parvoviral particles were detected with virus isolation. Acutely affected raccoons found alive were isolated and given antibiotics and supportive care with little success. One recovered and likely will be suitable for release. The other 71 raccoons were successfully released. At the time of the outbreak, all but three of the rehabilitating raccoons were fully vaccinated for recommended canine and feline diseases, including parvovirus.

Body Size and Hematological Values for Herring Gulls (Larus argentatus) Breeding in the Northeastern United States
Authors: Bergeron Andrea , Ellis Julie
Published: February 2022

With a substantial number of herring gulls (Larus argentatus) being seen each year at wildlife clinics and wildlife rehabilitation facilities, it is clear that there is a need for hematological reference values for this species. Being able to compare values from gulls in these settings to reference ranges available from healthy, actively breeding gulls will provide useful information regarding their health. Surprisingly, there are very few published studies with hematological data specific to herring gulls. In this study, serum chemistry values and body size measurements were obtained from approximately 20 incubating herring gulls at two breeding islands—Appledore Island, Maine, USA and Kent Island, New Brunswick, Canada. The values found were compared to those in the published literature obtained from a number of similar species. This comparison indicated that the hematological values from the herring gulls sampled on Appledore and Kent Islands are similar to those found in other gull species. Therefore, the data collected in this study represent ranges of normal hematological values for healthy, breeding herring gulls.

Baseline Serum Chemistry, Hematology, and Serology Assessment in Black Bears (Ursus americanus) and Grizzly Bears (Ursus arctos horribilis) at a Rehabilitation Center in British Columbia
Authors: Heslop Sara , Tseng Florina
Published: February 2022

Health assessments contribute toward an understanding of nutritional well being and disease occurrence in bears kept in captivity for rehabilitation and increase awareness of what pathogens potentially are being released along with their hosts in reintroduction situations. The Northern Lights Wildlife Shelter in Smithers, British Columbia, rehabilitates orphaned black bear cubs and is the first shelter to be permitted to rehabilitate grizzly cubs in a collaborative pilot project with the International Fund for Animal Welfare and British Columbia Ministry of Environment. Blood was collected from two grizzly bear yearlings, six black bear yearlings, and three black bear cubs housed at the shelter in 2009 for serology and hematology. The bears were tested for canine distemper, canine adenovirus 1 and 2, leptospirosis, and toxoplasmosis. Additionally, standard serum chemistries and leukocyte differentials were completed. All of the bears were negative for the infectious diseases, but showed increased levels of eosinophilia suggestive of parasitic disease and a few serum values outside of the International Species Information System (ISIS) and IDEXX reference ranges. The blood and serum values collected in this study serve as the beginning of a hematologic baseline and measurement of disease prevalence in grizzly and black bear cubs brought to the shelter for rehabilitation.

Values of Biodiversity
Authors: MacRae Jack
Published: February 2022

The species that live on earth are connected through complex relationships and associations, such as predator and prey, symbiosis, and through communal use of resources. The diversity of life is what enables these associations to function. The human species often has attempted to place value and worth on the other organisms that share our planet. As a result of their dominant activity and consumption of natural resources, it is important for humans to recognize how these ‘values’ are developed and impact the wildlife around them.

Steatitis in a Wild Common Loon (Gavia immer) and Review of the Literature
Authors: Bridgers Jessica , Hall Sara , Lawrence Yuri , Rittle Tara , Harris Becky , Pokras Mark
Published: February 2022

Steatitis was diagnosed at necropsy in a debilitated, adult female common loon (Gavia immer), constituting the first known case of the disease in loons. Steatitis has been described most commonly in a variety of domestic and captive species. In these cases, the cause of steatitis is most often vitamin E deficiency in a diet comprised mainly of fish. Until roughly 20 years ago, the occurrence of steatitis in wildlife was relatively rare. However, the condition is being seen increasingly in herons in Japan and both coasts of the US. While several environmental factors have been correlated with the outbreaks, the causes remain unclear and may be multifactorial. Rehabilitators are in a unique position to recognize and report the event of steatitis in wild birds such as loons, allowing researchers to better understand the extent and cause of steatitis in wild birds.

Nutritional Imbalances in Wildlife
Authors: Rosenhagen Nichole
Published: February 2022

Nutritional disorders are uncommon in free–living wild animals. However, animals in captivity are at much higher risk for developing nutrition–related disease, often as a result of an unnatural habitat and diet. Angel wing, thiamine deficiency, perosis, metabolic bone diseases, capture myopathy and hypovitaminosis A are some of the most common nutritional imbalances wildlife rehabilitators are likely to encounter. Successful management of these conditions requires a thorough understanding of the pathophysiology of each disease as well as the clinical signs, treatment options, and most importantly, prevention strategies.
Euthanasia in Wildlife Rehabilitation
Authors: McRuer Dave
Published: February 2022

Euthanasia is the act of humanely inducing death in an animal with minimal pain and distress (AVMA 2013). While the decision to euthanize a patient may be based on objective criteria, and the alleviation of suffering may be the ultimate and desired goal, euthanasia is one of the most difficult tasks faced in wildlife medicine. Wildlife caregivers place significant value on animal welfare. The decision to euthanize, therefore, should be given appropriate consideration and should focus on the animal’s best interest. This article explores the ethics of animal euthanasia in wildlife rehabilitation and the methods commonly used to perform the task.

TPM merupakan salah satu metode yang dapat digunakan untuk meningkatkan produktivitas dan efisiensi produksi perusahaan dengan menggunakan mesin/peralatan secara efektif. TPM juga bertujuan untuk meningkatkan efektivitas dengan cara meningkatkan fungsi dan kinerja mesin/peralatan yang digunakan dan mengeliminasi six big losses yang terdapat pada mesin/peralatan. Objek penelitian adalah mesin Moulding. Data yang digunakan data satu tahun terakhir yaitu bulan Juli 2019 - Juni 2020, diperoleh nilai overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) yang berkisar antara 45,49 % - 74,35 %. Nilai OEE terendah pada bulan Desember 2019 yakni sebesar 45,49 % yang mana pencapaian ini sangat jauh merosot dari bulan-bulan sebelumnya dan masih sangat kecil dibandingkan dengan nilai OEE target perusahaan sebesar 85% dimanah menurunnya nilai OEE dipengaruhi oleh faktor yang paling dalam six big losses adalah Idling dan minor stoppages berkisar dari 24,68% - 61,07 % , Reduced speed sebesar 9,09 % - 15,68 % dan Breakdown Loss sebesar 2,21% - 17,48. Sementara empat faktor lain berpengaruh kecil yaitu masih di bawah 10%.. Solusi untuk melakukan perbaikan dengan konsep Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) yang didalamnya meliputi autonomous maintenance.

Seismic surface waves dispersion and crust-mantle structure of Indian peninsula
Authors: BHATTACHARYA S. N.
Published: February 2022

The variations of group velocities with period of the fundamental Rayleigh and Love waves along two profiles Kodaikanal (KOD)-New Delhi (NDI) and Kodaikanal (KOD)-Poona (POO) as well as along paths from few epicentres in the neighbourhood of New Delhi to KOD have been used to investigate the average crustmantle structure of Indian Peninsula. The periods range from 6 to 80 sec for Rayleigh waves and from 11 to 95 sec for Love waves. Theoretical dispersion curves for suitable models have been obtained to fit the observed data by using the group velocity perturbations for the variations of crust-mantle structural parameters. The structural models obtained show that the total crustal thickness is 41 km in the central part of the Peninsula and rises to 50 km in the Western Ghats region. The thickness of the granitic layer in these models is a bout 12 km. It has been observed that assumption of a simple isotropic mantle does not give a satisfactory fit to both Rayleigh and Love waves data at higher periods. A satisfactory fit has been obtained by considering the mantle to be anisotropic between the depths 50 and 140 km, where SH Velocity is higher than SV velocity.
A global study of satellite observations of clouds in the Tropics and their relationship with dew point temperatures
Authors: RAMASWAMY C.
Published: February 2022

Charts showing isopleths of long-term monthly mean dew points over the world at sea level between 75o N and 65oS have been prepared for the months January, April, July and October.  The isopleths on these charts between 30oN and 30oS have been compared with the isopleths of average cloudiness based on satellite observations of 2 years over the same range of latitudes.  It has been shown that the sea level dew point isopleths have a high correlation with the cloudiness gradients and the orientation of the isopleths of cloudiness in the tropics in the northern as well as the southern hemispheres.  A general examination has also been made of the isopleths of dew points over the northern hemisphere at the 850 and 700-mb levels as available in recent published literature for the months January and July.  It is has been found that the isopleths at the 850-mb level resemble those at sea level in regard to their orientation and thus resemble the isopleths of average cloudiness, although to a less satisfactory extent than the sea level patterns.  The patterns at the 700-mb level differ appreciably from those at the 850-mb level particularly north of 15o N.  The significance of these factual findings and the possible usefulness of the dew point temperatures in studies of the moisture-field and the water-budget of the atmosphere are discussed.
Diagnostic study of vertical motion vis-à-vis Large scale cloud systems
Authors: DAS P. K. , DATTA R. K. , CHHABRA B. M.
Published: February 2022

In this paper we present results of vertical velocities computed for a monsoon depression over India. The vertical velocities were calculated at intervals of 100 mb from 1000 to 100 mb with the help of a 10-layer geostrophic model. The computed omega field has been compared with the composite nephanalysis received from APT bulletins from Bombay.

It is found that the field of vertical motion computed by the 10.layer model agrees fairly well with the configuration of large scale cloud systems.

The effect of surface friction and topography was included as a lower boundary condition on the 10-layer model. The vertical motion at the top of the friction layer was computed on the basis of the Ekman spiral. The paper discusses the results of the other types of frictional convergence and their effect on the omega field.
Cloud distributions over equatorial Indian Ocean as revealed by satellites
Authors: SAHA KSHUDIRAM
Published: February 2022

The paper gives some satellite evidence to show that the equatorial eastern Indian Ocean (east of about 6O0E) experiences greater clouding than its western counterpart throughout the year, With a view to suggesting a possible explanation for this difference between the two parts of the ocean, the distribution of mean ocean surface temperature and barometric pressure for the period of the International Indian Ocean Expedition (IIOE, 1963-64) was examined. The finding a suggest a semi-permanent vertical circulation cell with equatorial westerlies below, equatorial easterlies above, ascending branch over equatorial eastern Indian Ocean and descending branch over equatorial western Indian Ocean, Possible mechanisms for the formation of cloud clusters and cloud bands are briefly, discussed.
