Published: February 2025

The purpose of this study is to investigate the importance of job satisfaction as a mediator between human resource management (HRM) practices and turnover intention in the banking sector. Data was collected through a self- administered questionnaire, yielding 422 valid responses, which were analyzed using SPSS and SmartPLS to assess both direct and mediating effects. The results identified significant associations between performance evaluation, reward, and job satisfaction, while the association between training and development initiatives and job satisfaction was not significant. Specifically, the study indicated that performance evaluation, training and development, reward, and job satisfaction all have significant relationships with turnover intentions. Furthermore, job satisfaction was identified as a critical mediator in the relationships between performance evaluation, reward, and turnover intention. The findings highlighted the significance of enhancing job satisfaction and provide valuable insights into the intricate relationships between performance evaluation, training and development, rewards, job satisfaction, and turnover intention within the banking sector. This study contributed to the human resource management literature within the context of the banking sector and offers practical implications for researchers, organizational leaders, managers, and policymakers. Policymakers and organizational leaders can leverage these results to inform the development of human resource policies, while human resource managers should implement comprehensive strategies to foster employee satisfaction. Overall, the findings presented important implications for refining human resource management practices aimed at improving employee satisfaction and retention within the banking sector.

The Impact of Motivation and Job Satisfaction on Performance and Turnover Intention: The Mediating Role of Organizational Citizenship Behaviour in the Telecom Sector
Authors: Ayesha Munir  , Saad Hameed  
Published: February 2025

Purpose - The present research aims to investigate the relationship between Employee motivation and Job satisfaction related to their performance and Turnover Intention using Organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) in the Telecom sector.
Study Design/methodology/approach – To measure cross-correlation among the identified variables, a quantitative research method using structured questionnaires and statistical measures was applied. A convenient method of structured questionnaires was employed to distribute questionnaires to 240 participants across top telecom companies in Islamabad through a stratified random technique. SEM together with bootstrapping methods analyzed direct and indirect relations between study variables. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) verified both the reliability &validity of the constructs. The study obtained balanced participant data throughout different departments to improve result applicability.
Findings – The study confirmed that OCB is a strong mediator to enhance the relationship between motivation and performance outcomes. Job satisfaction stands as a statistically important predictor of turnover intention because satisfied workers demonstrate a reduced willingness to exit their positions. Findings from structural equation modeling (SEM) indicate that employee motivation positively influences job satisfaction (β = 0.78, p < 0.001), which in turn strengthens OCB (β = 0.64, p < 0.01). OCB significantly mediates the relationship between motivation and performance (β = 0.23, p < 0.05), while the turnover intention is negatively associated with OCB (β = -0.17, p < 0.05).
Research Practical Implications- The findings indicate that telecom organizations should dedicate their human resources funds to implementing performance-based recognition systems together with structured career advancement paths and work-life balance measures to boost job satisfaction levels and minimize turnover susceptibility.
Originality/value- Unlike prior research, this study exclusively emphasizes the mediating role of OCB in Pakistan’s telecom sector, providing intuitions applicable to emerging markets.

An overview of where we are on PFAS in 2024
Authors: Dourson Michael 
Published: February 2025

SUMMARY
By mid-year 2024, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) had finalized two major, economically significant regulations on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in addition to multiple other important PFAS reporting rules. These rulemakings were finalized after EPA received numerous comments on its draft positions. Although some comments supported the EPA’s actions, other comments challenged many aspects of the EPA’s proposals, including the underlying science, legal justifications, and cost implications. These major regulations have been challenged and will likely be litigated in the courts.

Who am I really? Contemporary Narratives of Migration as an Inspiration for Self-discovery
Authors: Zając Justyna , Michułka Dorota 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The aim of this article is to present the results of a study of children's reception of Sarah Crossan's novel The Weight of Water ([2012] 2019). The book shows the process of emotional and social maturation of a girl coming from a Polish family affected by the experience of migration. Letters written by primary school pupils to Kasia, the fictional protagonist, bravely struggling with family problems and peer bullying, were analysed. The cognitive science research we carried out on the reception of literature shows that Crossan's novel serves the self-discovery of the audience, but it also exposes the image of a transnational family, and shows the broader social context of considering the migratory cultural adaptation of a teenage girl. Thus, the case of Kasienka becomes an "element" of building the image of contemporary migrant identity.

ResumenEl objetivo de este artículo es presentar los resultados de un estudio sobre la recepción de la novela The Weight of Water ([2012] 2019) de Sarah Crossan por parte de niños y niñas. El libro retrata el proceso de maduración emocional y social de una niña de una familia polaca afectada por la experiencia de la migración. Se analizaron cartas escritas por alumnos de primaria dirigidas a Kasia, la protagonista ficticia, que lucha valientemente contra problemas familiares y el acoso por parte de sus compañeros. La investigación en ciencias cognitivas sobre la recepción de la literatura que hemos realizado muestra que la novela de Crossan favorece el autodescubrimiento de los lectores, al tiempo que expone la imagen de una familia transnacional y reflexiona sobre el contexto social más amplio de la adaptación cultural migratoria de una adolescente. Así, el caso de Kasienka se convierte en un "elemento" en la construcción de la identidad migrante contemporánea.

Editorial: Critical Pedagogy in Literary Education: Reading the Word to read the World
Authors: Mínguez-López Xavier , Kalogirou Tzina 
Published: February 2025

The current special issue of JLE embodies Freire’s goal of literacy/literary education: reading the word to read the world. The cornerstone of Critical Pedagogy lies undoubtedly in Paulo Freire’s seminal work, Pedagogy of the Oppressed. (Pedagogia do Oprimido, 1968). Freire critiques traditional education models, which he terms the "banking model," in which teachers deposit knowledge into passive students. He advocates for a dialogic approach that transforms education into a collaborative process of inquiry. Freire’s methods emphasize critical consciousness (conscientização), urging learners to question societal structures and their own roles within them. Aiming to empower minds through dialogue and reflection, Critical Pedagogy sees literature as more than an artistic endeavor; it is a medium through which societies interrogate their values, challenge injustices, and envision alternate realities. In the realm of education, how literature is taught can either reinforce systems of oppression or act as a transformative tool for liberation. Critical Pedagogy provides a compelling framework for rethinking literary education. This approach not only democratizes the classroom but also empowers students to become agents of social change.
Tiempo escolar y familias monoparentales: desvelando una experiencia invisibilizada
Authors: Carrasco Tenorio Lidia 
Published: February 2025

En este artículo se profundiza sobre cómo las familias monomarentales, familias con una mujer al frente, integran en su rutina diaria el proceso y acompañamiento educativo de sus hijas e hijos. Para ello, se han analizado las entrevistas de 34 mujeres de Zaragoza, madres de familias monomarentales con menores en las etapas de infantil, primaria y secundaria, en las que se preguntaba sobre el tipo de jornada, servicios utilizados, tareas y refuerzos escolares, tutorías, así como por su implicación y participación en la comunidad educativa. Aunque se constata que las familias monomarentales logran compatibilizar la vida laboral y familiar con los tiempos escolares, esto no se consigue sin sacrificios o pérdidas. Así, el esfuerzo dedicado por ellas es mayor que el invertido por las personas adultas al frente de familias biparentales. Por otra parte, el tiempo de permanencia de sus hijas e hijos en el centro educativo es notablemente largo, ya que en muchos casos a las horas lectivas se les suma el tiempo de comedor, extraescolares y, en menor medida, madrugadores. Asimismo, se hace patente que la comunicación desde el sistema educativo no tiene en cuenta la realidad de las familias monomarentales. Aunque el éxito académico de los menores a cargo de estas familias se ve condicionado tanto desde el punto de vista socioeconómico como desde la comunicación escuela-familia, las madres monomarentales suplen de manera resiliente estas desventajas. Urge que el sistema educativo y los tiempos escolares se organicen teniendo en cuenta a las familias monomarentales.
Plant MAP kinase pathways: how many and what for?
Authors: Wrzaczek Michael , Hirt Heribert 
Published: July 2002

Summry— Mitogen activated protein kinases (MAPK) are important mediators in signal transmission, connecting the perception of external stimuli to cellular responses. MAPK cascades are involved in signalling various biotic and abiotic stresses, like wounding and pathogen infection, temperature stress or drought, but also some plant hormones, such as ethylene and auxin. Moreover, MAPKs have been implicated in cell cycle and developmental processes. In Arabidopsis mutant screens and in vivo assays several components of plant MAPK cascades have been identified. This review compares results obtained from functional analyses of MAPK cascades in plants with recent data obtained from searching the complete Arabidopsis genome. This analysis reveals that plants have an overall of 24 MAPK pathways of which only a small subset has been studied so far.

Existence of solutions for compressible fluid models of Korteweg type
Authors: Danchin Raphaël , Desjardins Benoı̂t 
Published: July 2002

The purpose of this work is to prove existence and uniqueness results of suitably smooth solutions for an isothermal model of capillary compressible fluids derived by J.E. Dunn and J. Serrin (1985), which can be used as a phase transition model.
We first study the well-posedness of the model in spaces with critical regularity indices with respect to the scaling of the associated equations. In a functional setting as close as possible to the physical energy spaces, we prove global existence of solutions close to a stable equilibrium, and local in time existence for solutions when the pressure law may present spinodal regions. Uniqueness is also obtained.
Assuming a lower and upper control of the density, we also show the existence of weak solutions in dimension 2 near equilibrium. Finally, referring to the work of Z. Xin (1998) in the non-capillary case, we describe some blow-up properties of smooth solutions with finite total mass.

Résumé
On s’intéresse ici à des résultats d’existence et d’unicité de solutions pour un modèle de fluides compressibles isothermes avec capillarité. Ce modèle de transition de phase a été dérivé par J.E. Dunn et J. Serrin (1985).

Pour commencer, on montre que le problème de Cauchy est bien posé dans des espaces à régularité critique pour le
scaling
des équations. Pour des données initiales proches d’un état d’équilibre stable, on obtient l’existence globale (et l’unicité) de solutions dans un cadre fonctionnel aussi proche que possible de l’espace d’énergie physique. Pour des lois de pression plus générales (pouvant être décroissantes), on prouve des résultats locaux en temps.

En supposant que l’on dispose d’un minorant strictement positif et d’une borne supérieure pour la densité, on obtient l’existence de solutions faibles en dimension 2 pour des données initiales proches de l’équilibre. Enfin, en adaptant un travail de Z. Xin pour les fluides sans capillarité, on établit l’explosion de solutions régulières à masse totale finie.
Multi-peak bound states for nonlinear Schrödinger equations
Authors: Del Pino Manuel , Felmer Patricio L. 
Published: July 2002

In this paper we consider the study of
standing wave solutions
for a nonlinear Schrödinger equation. This problem reduces to that of finding nonnegative solutions of

\begin{matrix} ɛ^{2}\Delta u - V\left(x\right)u + f\left(u\right) = 0 & \text{in} & \Omega , \\ \end{matrix}

with finite energy. Here ɛ is a small parameter, ω is a smooth, possibly unbounded domain,
f
is an appropriate superlinear function, and
V
is a positive potential, bounded away from zero.

It is the purpose of this article to obtain multi-peak solutions in the “multiple well case”. We find solutions exhibiting concentration at any prescribed finite set of local minima, possibly degenerate, of the potential.
The proof relies on variational arguments, where a penalization-type method is developed for the identification of the desired solutions.

Résumé

Dans cet article, on considère l’étude des solutions de
ondes permanentes
d’une équation de Schrödinger nonlinéaire. Ce problème se réduit à la recherche de solutions non négatives de

\begin{matrix} ɛ^{2}\Delta u - V\left(x\right)u + f\left(u\right) = 0 & \text{dans} & \Omega , \\ \end{matrix}

avec une énergie finie. Ici ɛ est un paramètre petit, ω est un domaine lisse qui peut être non borné,
f
est une fonction superlinéaire appropriée et
V
est un potentiel positif borné hors de zéro.

L’objectif de cet article consiste à obtenir des solutions à pics multiples dans le cas de puits multiples. Nous trouvons des solutions qui montrent une concentration pour tout ensemble choisi fini de minima locaux du potentiel, qui peuvent être dégénérés.
La démonstration se base sur des arguments variationnels, où une méthode de pénalisation est développée pour identifier les solutions cherchées.
Localization and pharmacological characterization of voltage dependent calcium channels in cultured neocortical neurons
Authors: Timmermann Daniel B. , Lund Trine M. , Belhage Bo , Schousboe Arne 
Published: July 2002

AbstractThe physiological significance and subcellular distribution of voltage dependent calcium channels was defined using calcium channel blockers to inhibit potassium induced rises in cytosolic calcium concentration in cultured mouse neocortical neurons. The cytosolic calcium concentration was measured using the fluorescent calcium chelator fura‐2. The types of calcium channels present at the synaptic terminal were determined by the inhibitory action of calcium channel blockers on potassium‐induced [3H]GABA release in the same cell preparation. L‐, N‐, P‐, Q‐ and R‐/T‐type voltage dependent calcium channels were differentially distributed in somata, neurites and nerve terminals. ω‐conotoxin MVIIC (ω‐CgTx MVIIC) inhibited approximately 40% of the Ca2+‐rise in both somata and neurites and 60% of the potassium induced [3H]GABA release, indicating that the Q‐type channel is the quantitatively most important voltage dependent calcium channel in all parts of the neuron. After treatment with thapsigargin the increase in cytosolic calcium was halved, indicating that calcium release from thapsigargin sensitive intracellular calcium stores is an important component of the potassium induced rise in cytosolic calcium concentration. The results of this investigation demonstrate that pharmacologically distinct types of voltage dependent calcium channels are differentially localized in cell bodies, neurites and nerve terminals of mouse cortical neurons but that the Q‐type calcium channel appears to predominate in all compartments.
Role of Ca2+‐stimulated adenylyl cyclases in LTP and memory formation
Authors: Poser Steve , Storm Daniel R. 
Published: July 2002

AbstractStudies with invertebrates and vertebrates have strongly implicated the CREB/CRE transcriptional pathway in long‐term memory (LTM) and transcriptionally‐dependent L‐LTP. It is hypothesized that LTM and L‐LTP are both dependent upon a Ca2+ signal generated through activation of NMDA receptors. This review discusses evidence that Ca2+ signals generated through activation of NMDA receptors coactivate the Erk/MAP kinase and cAMP signal transduction pathways. It is hypothesized that activation of these two regulatory pathways increases the transcription of a family of genes through the CREB/CRE transcriptional pathway. Gene disruption studies have shown that Ca2+ activated adenylyl cyclases play a critical role in generating the cAMP signal required for LTM and L‐LTP. Although cAMP may be required for several events in this complex signal transduction cascade, one of the major roles of cAMP may be to support nuclear translocation of Erk/MAP kinase in hippocampal neurons.
