The Contribution of Stress Management and Good Employee Performance Towards the Success of a Company
Authors: Soegoto Eddy Soeryanto , Narimawati Umi 
Published: September 2017

Introduction:
Today, factors which drive a company’s success are basically workers’ personality and one of the factors affecting work is self-management, which includes stress management. It is this factor which can later influence the performance of a worker within a company.

Aims:
In this case, the present study aimed to examine the contribution of personal stress management to an employee’s performance and how such influence may affect a company’s success. The main focus of this study was to evaluate stress management and its effect on employees’ performance. This study took place in Bandung at organization X and we applied a descriptive survey method as the most appropriate means of the study. The participants were purposively selected comprising 34 employees.

Conclusion:
The results revealed that there are many stress factors employees endure though they don’t significantly affect performance, but still influence most of their decisions to leave the company due to continuous dissatisfaction. It is therefore recommended that such a company should establish a most appropriate strategy to prevent stress within its employees.

Authors: Goel Ruchi , Sanoria Abhilasha , Kumar Sushil , Arya Deepanjali , Nagpal Smriti , Rathie Neha 
Published: September 2017

Purpose:
The study aims to compare the effectiveness and complications of transconjunctival retractor plication (TRP) with lateral tarsal strip (LTS) and the polypropylene sling (PS) surgery for treatment of involutional lower lid ectropion.

Method:
A prospective randomised pilot study was conducted on 30 eyes of 30 patients suffering from epiphora having horizontal eyelid laxity >6mm and age >50 years at a tertiary care centre from December 2014 to March 2015. They were randomly divided into two equal groups for TRP with LTS (group A) and PS (group B). Success was defined as relief in epiphora and lid laxity ≤4mm at 12 months post operatively.

Result:
There were 19 male and 11 female patients with age ranging from 55-80 years. The mean grade of ectropion was 2.80±1.32 in group A and 2.87±1.60 in group B. The preoperative horizontal laxity increased with the grade of ectropion (p <0.001) while medial canthal laxity was variable. The average surgical time per procedure in group A was 66 minutes and in group B was 24 minutes. Group A had a success rate of 93.33%, while group B had a success rate of 87%. Post-operative complications occurred in 2 eyes in group B only.

Conclusion:
Both LTS with TRP and PS are effective in the management of involutional ectropion. LTS with TRP though more invasive has higher success rates and a lower incidence of complications as compared to PS. However, PS is an easy to perform out- patient procedure that is faster and better tolerated in old patients.
Norwegian Football Academy Players – Player´S Self-Assessed Skills, Stress and Coach-Athlete Relationship
Authors: Sæther Stig Arve , Aspvik Nils Petter , Høigaard Rune 
Published: September 2017

Background:
Being part of a football academy environment is associated with many advantages. Even so, academy players will also encounter a range of personal and interpersonal challenges that might affect their development, including stress and the coach-athlete relationship.

Objective:
This study’s purpose was to investigate how football academy players assessed their own skills compared to their teammates, and how this is associated with perceived stressors and their perceived relationship with their coach.

Method:
Participants (N= 122) represented 3 football academies (12-19 years old). Instruments used were CART-Q and a modified version of the Adolescent Stress Questionnaire.

Results:
The results showed that the players with high-perceived skill reported a higher amount of self-organized training, more playing time, and a lower level of performance stress compared to the low perceived skill players. The results also indicate that the players perceived they had a close coach-athlete relationship and a low level of stress.

Conclusion:
The results suggest that low perceived skill players should receive equitable focus from coaches, especially related to their performance stress.

Published: September 2017

Ground Calcium Carbonate (GCC) as the filler required in paper making that is intended to reduce production costs thus providing a profit opportunity for the paper industry. However the usage of GCC affected decreasing of paper strength and effectiveness of sizing process. In order to reduce the negative effect, this research has been conducted through the modification of filler using Tamarind Kernel Powder (TKP) which is a natural polymer obtained from local tamarind seeds. The results of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis, showed that TKP contained 64-68% xylose, glucose, maltose and arabinose. Filler modification was conducted with mixing the TKP into CaCO3 and addition of cationic polyacrylamide and sodium polyphosphate dispersant at composition ratio of 100: 0.4 : 0.1: 1.0. Filler application with added the retention aid of cationic polyacrylamide 0.1%, resulted the filler retention value on sheet of 26.9 %. The modified filler shows an increase in filler stability and is easy to form emulsions when compared to commercial fillers. Modification of GCC filler with higher number of TKP usage gives increased filler retention value on sheets, improved sheet formation properties and optical properties.ABSTRAKGround Calcium Carbonat (GCC) sebagai bahan pengisi (filler) dalam pembuatan kertas untuk mengurangi biaya produksi sehingga memberikan peluang keuntungan bagi industri kertas, namun peningkatan jumlah GCC dapat berpengaruh pada menurunnya kekuatan kertas dan efektivitas proses pendarihan.

GPs’ perceptions of resilience training: a qualitative study
Authors: Cheshire Anna , Hughes John , Lewith George , Panagioti Maria , Peters David , Simon Chantal , Ridge Damien 
Published: September 2017

BackgroundGPs are reporting increasing levels of burnout, stress, and job dissatisfaction, and there is a looming GP shortage. Promoting resilience is a key strategy for enhancing the sustainability of the healthcare workforce and improving patient care.AimTo explore GPs’ perspectives on the content, context, and acceptability of resilience training programmes in general practice, in order to build more effective GP resilience programmes.Design and settingThis was a qualitative study of the perspectives of GPs currently practising in England.MethodGPs were recruited through convenience sampling, and data were collected from two focus groups (n = 15) and one-to-one telephone interviews (n = 7). A semi-structured interview approach was used and data were analysed using thematic analysis.ResultsParticipants perceived resilience training to be potentially of value in ameliorating workplace stresses. Nevertheless, uncertainty was expressed regarding how best to provide training for stressed GPs who have limited time. Participants suspected that GPs most likely to benefit from resilience training were the least likely to engage, as stress and being busy worked against engagement. Conflicting views were expressed about the most suitable training delivery method for promoting better engagement. Participants also emphasised that training should not only place the focus on the individual, but also focus on organisation issues.ConclusionA multimodal, flexible approach based on individual needs and learning aims, including resilience workshops within undergraduate training and in individual practices, is likely to be the optimal way to promote resilience.
Building managed primary care practice networks to deliver better clinical care: a qualitative semi-structured interview study
Authors: Pawa Jasmine , Robson John , Hull Sally 
Published: September 2017

BackgroundPrimary care practices are increasingly working in larger groups. In 2009, all 36 primary care practices in the London borough of Tower Hamlets were grouped geographically into eight managed practice networks to improve the quality of care they delivered. Quantitative evaluation has shown improved clinical outcomes.AimTo provide insight into the process of network implementation, including the aims, facilitating factors, and barriers, from both the clinical and managerial perspectives.Design and settingA qualitative study of network implementation in the London borough of Tower Hamlets, which serves a socially disadvantaged and ethnically diverse population.MethodNineteen semi-structured interviews were carried out with doctors, nurses, and managers, and were informed by existing literature on integrated care and GP networks. Interviews were recorded and transcribed, and thematic analysis used to analyse emerging themes.ResultsInterviewees agreed that networks improved clinical care and reduced variation in practice performance. Network implementation was facilitated by the balance struck between ‘a given structure’ and network autonomy to adopt local solutions. Improved use of data, including patient recall and peer performance indicators, were viewed as critical key factors. Targeted investment provided the necessary resources to achieve this. Barriers to implementing networks included differences in practice culture, a reluctance to share data, and increased workload.ConclusionCommissioners and providers were positive about the implementation of GP networks as a way to improve the quality of clinical care in Tower Hamlets. The issues that arose may be of relevance to other areas implementing similar quality improvement programmes at scale.
COS-burst: Observations of the Impact of Starburst-driven Winds on the Properties of the Circum-galactic Medium

Published: September 2017

Abstract
We report on observations made with the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (COS) on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) using background quasi-stellar objects to probe the circum-galactic medium (CGM) around 17 low-redshift galaxies that are undergoing or have recently undergone a strong starburst (the COS-Burst program). The sightlines extend out to roughly the virial radius of the galaxy halo. We construct control samples of normal star-forming low-redshift galaxies from the COS/HST archive that match the starbursts in terms of galaxy stellar mass and impact parameter. We find clear evidence that the CGM around the starbursts differs systematically compared to the control galaxies. The Lyα, Si iii, C iv, and possibly O vi absorption lines are stronger as a function of impact parameter, and the ratios of the equivalent widths of C iv/Lyα and Si iii/Lyα are both higher than in normal star-forming galaxies. We also find that the widths and the velocity offsets (relative to v
sys) of the Lyα absorption lines are significantly larger in the CGM of the starbursts, implying velocities of the absorbing material that are roughly twice the halo virial velocity. We show that these properties can be understood as a consequence of the interaction between a starburst-driven wind and the preexisting CGM. These results underscore the importance of winds driven from intensely star-forming galaxies in helping drive the evolution of galaxies and the intergalactic medium. They also offer a new probe of the properties of starburst-driven winds and of the CGM itself.

Le blasphème, entre droit et théologie
Authors: Arbib Dan 
Published: September 2017

Après une recontextualisation de l’œuvre législatrice de Maïmonide (I), cet article entend clarifier la position maïmonidienne sur le blasphème : l’interdit du blasphème apparaît comme l’un des commandements les plus importants (II), consistant à maudire Dieu par son propre nom (III), fondé sur le respect dû à l’autorité prescrit en Ex 22, 28 (IV) et visant à éviter l’idolâtrie (V). Le blasphème est ainsi d’une gravité hors-norme, péché sans pardon.

Published: September 2017

Le nouveau piétonnier est l’un des principaux projets urbains conçus pour le centre de Bruxelles au cours des dernières décennies. En 2015, la voie de transit du Centre – le boulevard Anspach – a été déclarée interdite à la circulation automobile. Le réaménagement de l’espace public et la rénovation des principales stations de métro n’ont pas encore commencé. La réalisation et les défis de ce projet urbain sont, par définition, complexes. Des expériences menées dans le pays et à l’étranger montrent qu’il aura un impact important à différents niveaux : qualité de l’espace public, logement et équipements, économie locale et emploi, mobilité, accessibilité et logistique, activités sociales et culturelles, etc. Cependant, les données et analyses récentes sont souvent fragmentées, inexistantes ou insuffisamment disponibles pour tous les acteurs concernés. Pourtant, un projet urbain de qualité ne peut aboutir que lorsque ces informations sont rassemblées et partagées, mais aussi lorsqu’il porte une prise de décision. C’est pourquoi le BSI - Brussels Centre Observatory (BSI-BCO) suit ce projet de près. La présente note de synthèse s’appuie sur un travail publié précédemment [le Portfolio#1]. La partie 1 expose le contexte général du projet et la partie 2 développe l’aspect concret de quatre grands défis, sur la base de nos premières constatations. En conclusion, la note propose quelques pistes concrètes d’amélioration de la qualité et de la gestion du projet.
Van “grote voetgangerszone” tot stadsproject: troeven en uitdagingen voor het Brusselse stadscentrum
Authors: Hubert Michel , Corijn Eric , Neuwels Julie , Hardy Margaux , Vermeulen Sofie , Vaesen Joost 
Published: September 2017

De nieuwe voetgangerszone is één van de belangrijkste stadsprojecten in het Brusselse stadscentrum van de afgelopen decennia. In 2015 werd de centrale doorgangsweg -Anspachlaan- autovrij gemaakt. De heraanleg van de publieke ruimte en vernieuwing van de belangrijkste metrostations moet nog starten. De realisatie en uitdagingen van dit stadsproject zijn per definitie complex. Ervaringen uit binnen- en buitenland tonen dat de impact groot zal zijn op verschillende niveau’s: de kwaliteit van de publieke ruimte, huisvesting en voorzieningen, de lokale economie en tewerkstelling, mobiliteit, bereikbaarheid en logistiek, de sociale en culturele activiteiten, enz. Recente gegevens en analyses zijn echter vaak gefragmenteerd, onbestaande, of onvoldoende toegankelijk voor alle betrokken actoren. Toch slaagt een kwaliteitsvol stadsproject pas wanneer deze kennis wordt gebundeld en gedeeld, maar ook besluitvorming ondersteunt. Daarom volgt het BSI - Brussels Centre Observatory (BSI-BCO) dit project van nabij op. Deze synthesenota bouwt verder op eerder gepubliceerd werk [het Portfolio#1]. Deel 1 belicht het project in haar ruimere context en deel 2 concretiseert vier grote uitdagingen op basis van onze eerste vaststellingen. De nota besluit met concrete pistes om de kwaliteit en het beheer van het project te verhogen.
