The relationship between manager's use of power and employees' work variables in nationalised commercial banks in Bangladesh
Creators: name: Jahangir, Nadim
Publisher: name: Australian Catholic University

description: "This thesis investigates managers' use of power and its relationship to employees' organisational commitment and job satisfaction and any other potential factors influencing the relationship in Nationalised Commercial Banks (NCBs) in Bangladesh. Earlier research focused only on employees' perceptions of managers' use of power in NCBs, and findings indicated a positive relationship between managers' use of power and employees' perceptions. The present research differs from the previous studies by linking managers' use of power with employees' organisational outcomes. The objective was to gain insights into ways in which the management of NCBs might use their power to enhance the levels of employees' commitment and job satisfaction. Data were collected from several sources. Likert-type questionnaires were distributed to 600 employees in three NCBs and semi-structured interviews were conducted with 36 branch managers and four experts on banking. Complete questionnaires (in total 321) were included for data analysis using multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) and stepwise regression analysis. Both the bank managers and experts on banking interview transcripts were coded according to the interview schedule questions. The findings indicated a relationship between managers' use of power and procedural justice, and employees' organisational commitment and job satisfaction in NCBs. In the quantitative findings no significant relationships were found between gender, age, and education level, and power, procedural justice, commitment, and job satisfaction.The qualitative findings, however, suggested that employees' age and education level were related to criterion variables; but the findings indicated there was no relationship between gender and criterion variables. The results of this study provide insight into how the management of NCBs can enhance the level of their employees' commitment and job satisfaction.;To improve managers' use of power and its relationships with employees' commitment and job satisfaction in NCBs in Bangladesh, there have to be changes at the individual and organisational levels. At the individual level improving managers' power bases would involve basic education and specific job-related training. Managers should also be encouraged to enhance their skills through continuous self-learning. At organisational level top management should provide appropriate reinforcements for managers in learning about and improving their power bases."

description: We study the impact of exposure to COVID-19 on food security and diet diversity in four African countries (Uganda, Tanzania, Sierra Leone and Mozambique), using phone-based survey data collected throughout 2021. We find that in 2021, one in two households faced moderate-to-severe food insecurity and one in three households had borderline to poor diet diversity score. Food insecurity and poor diet diversity are particularly pronounced among certain groups of households, who characterize with large family sizes, low access to public services, own fewer assets, and mostly have a female, younger, and less educated person as household head. Both food insecurity and poor diet diversity are positively associated with exposure to COVID-19 – either through individual experience of having a virus or having people in their surroundings who had the virus. We show that tighter movement restrictions and a more drastic decline in household income in COVID-19-exposed areas were the main reasons for worsened food insecurity and poorer diet diversity. Vulnerable households rarely received financial support from governments, forcing many of them to use harmful food- related coping strategies and to borrow from other households.

description: Climate change is increasingly recognized as a factor exacerbating conflicts across Africa, as highlighted by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP, 2015) and recent findings from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2023). Shifts in rainfall patterns, rising temperatures, and extreme weather events are adversely affecting livelihoods and contributing to heightened social and political tensions, particularly in regions experiencing humanitarian crises like the Sahel (Global Risk Insights, 2019). This review seeks to address the empirical evidence regarding the statistical relationships between climate variables and conflict incidence in Africa. By examining the variations in climate impacts across different regions, the review aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how climate change intensifies conflicts and to explore the differential effects experienced across various African regions

description: Joint modeling of a large number of variables often requires dimension reduction strategies that lead to structural assumptions of the underlying correlation matrix, such as equal pair-wise correlations within subsets of variables. The underlying correlation matrix is thus of interest for both model specification and model validation. In this article, we develop tests of the hypothesis that the entries of the Kendall rank correlation matrix are linear combinations of a smaller number of parameters. The asymptotic behavior of the proposed test statistics is investigated both when the dimension is fixed and when it grows with the sample size. We pay special attention to the restricted hypothesis of partial exchangeability, which contains full exchangeability as a special case. We show that under partial exchangeability, the test statistics and their large-sample distributions simplify, which leads to computational advantages and better performance of the tests. We propose various scalable numerical strategies for implementation of the proposed procedures, investigate their behavior through simulations and power calculations under local alternatives, and demonstrate their use on a real dataset of mean sea levels at various geographical locations.

Remarks: The Nearctic M. dolomitica is very similar to the Palaearctic M. giljarovi Rusek, 1982, described from the vicinity of Lake Baikal (Siberia). According to the original descriptions, these species differ in number of lobes in the postantennal organ (~60 vs 75) and the absence of a single microseta (m 4) on the first abdominal segment (which is present in giljarovi). The number of lobes appears to be variable: specimens from Banks Island and Prince Patrick Island in NT have a postantennal organ with 65–87 lobes (our data).
General distribution: Nearctic and Eastern Palaearctic.

description: A child’s relationship with their mother is one of the most salient components of their early development. Whether that relationship is characterized as securely attached – providing a “secure base” from which to explore the world – or insecurely attached influences outcomes across social, emotional, behavioral, and cognitive domains. Recent work indicates that children who are securely attached have better developed executive functioning (EF) skills, which are associated with academic success. Still, few studies have examined this relation, and the present study sought to examine whether more secure attachment when children were 36 months would be associated with better developed EF during first grade. The second objective of the present study was to investigate whether an additional aspect of a child’s early environment, their childcare arrangement, moderates the relation between attachment security and EF, by perhaps scaffolding the development of EF skills. To answer these questions, a data set of 1006 participants from Phases I and II of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development (SECCYD) was analyzed. Attachment security and childcare factors (i.e., whether participants attended care, the quality of care, and the type of care arrangement) were measured at 36 months (Time 1). Three aspects of functioning associated with EF (i.e., planning, disinhibition, and mother- and teacher-reported attention problems) were measured during first grade (Time 2). Consistent with hypotheses, attachment security was significantly positively related to planning and significantly negatively related to mother- and teacher-reported attention problems. Attachment was not related to disinhibition. Also counter to hypotheses, childcare factors did not moderate the relation between attachment security and EF. The findings of the present study support longitudinal associations between child attachment security and EF skills. Providing adequate screening and resources to mothers to support them in forming a secure bond with their child is recommended. In this way, mothers can be better positioned to support their children’s emerging EF skills.

description: Over-the-top services or streaming services have become the way that Gen Z viewers choose to take part in shows and movies. Since they are easily accessible and available on any device, they are the perfect medium for Gen Z to be entertained and inspired by their favorite character’s fashion. Factors including enjoyment of a character and perceived attractiveness of a character help to build the foundation of how the viewer will connect to a character. Parasocial involvements with Gen Z’s favorite characters help to guide how they interact with the character and create a bond that allows them to want to talk about the character with others, thus leading to fashion trend adoption from that character. Disposition Theory of Media Enjoyment was used to help explain enjoyment in media and in the context of the study. The Parasocial involvements used included affective, cognitive, behavioral, referential, and critical involvements. The purpose of this study is to examine which factors and involvements lead to fashion trend adoption of Gen Z’s favorite OTT characters.
description: An online survey was conducted on Qualtrics and distributed through Amazon Mturk. The survey collected 263 usable responses. The results of the multiple and linear regressions indicate that the enjoyment of a character has a positive effect on affective, cognitive, behavioral, referential, and critical involvements. Additionally, the perceived attractiveness of a character has a positive impact on all types of involvements. These findings diverge from the hypotheses that were tested in several ways. Specifically, it was hypothesized that enjoyment would have negative effects on critical involvement and perceived attractiveness would have negative effects on critical involvement and referential involvement, respectively. However, the results showed that enjoyment and perceived attractiveness both had a positive influence on critical involvement and perceived attractiveness had a positive influence on referential involvement. The study found that all types of involvement, except for affective involvement, had an impact on social TV engagement with a character's fashion. However, the results diverged from the hypotheses in two ways. Firstly, behavioral involvement had a negative impact on social TV engagement with a character’s fashion. Secondly, critical involvement had a positive impact on social TV engagement with a character’s fashion, whereas it was hypothesized to have a negative effect.
description: This study will allow marketers and retailers to connect to Gen Z viewers through their favorite characters to be able to expand new trends and sell products that align with what Gen Z sees on screen.
Assessing Impact of Fertilizer Adoption in Boosting Small Scale Crop Farming Productivity in Sub-Saharan Africa

Year: 2024
Subjects: Consumer/Household Economics

description: he study examined the determinants of fertilizer adoption among small scale crop farmers across Sub-Saharan Africa's regions using a probit regression model and propensity score matching (PSM) technique to assess productivity impacts. Variables analyzed include land tenure, access to credit, access to fertilizer, gender, age, farm size, education, household size, expenditure, and other income sources. Data was obtained from households’ survey data for selected sub-Saharan countries. The countries were also categorized as arid, semi-arid, and non- arid regions. Findings indicated that access to fertilizer increases adoption across all zones, for example by 36.1% in arid areas at 95% confidence level. Access to credit is also significant at 95% confidence level in arid regions, boosting adoption by 6.2%. Land tenure positively affects adoption in semi-arid regions but is insignificant in arid and non-arid areas. Education levels and household expenditure show mixed effects; secondary education negatively affects adoption in arid zones, while higher household expenditure reduces adoption likelihood in semi-arid regions. The PSM analysis conducted showed that fertilizer adoption leads to increased productivity, with adopters experiencing yield increases between 195 kg/acre and 261 kg/acre compared to non- adopters. Policy recommendations to improve fertilizer adoption include enhancing supply chains for timely and affordable access, expanding financial services for smallholder farmers, securing land tenure, and providing targeted education and training programs. These strategies are expected to boost agricultural productivity and smallholder’s farmer livelihoods in arid and semi-arid regions. The study emphasizes on the critical role of fertilizer access in boosting productivity for smallholder farmers and provides actionable insights for policymakers to improve agricultural outcomes in challenging environments.

Are Differences in Flexible Adaptation of Strategy in a Probabilistic Reversal Learning Task Driven By Demands in Working Memory?

description: Individuals utilize processes related to cognitive flexibility (CF) to adapt to unexpected changes in the environment and make advantageous decisions in the pursuit of long-term goals.Research into this ability is typically done using a probabilistic reversal learning (PRL) task. PRL tasks typically assume individuals anticipate outcomes by updating and maintaining expectations generated from feedback to identify unexpected changes. This assumption does not consider that PRL tasks allow for cognitive strategies that minimize the amount of information held within working memory (WM) to guide choice while also maintaining the ability to behave in a flexible manner. Currently it is unknown whether individuals flexibly adapt cognitive strategies to meet changing WM demands. To explore the role of WM in the ability to flexibly adapt behavior and strategies, participants completed a modified PRL task in one of two WM-load conditions as well as an operation span (Ospan) task. Behavioral results revealed a relationship between the individual differences in WM capacity, but no effect of the WM-load. Modelling results revealed that although individuals do flexibly adapt strategies as demands change, they may have a propensity to do so in a disadvantageous manner. Additionally, the results of this study found that higher external working memory demands reduced learning rates. Together these results suggest that WM plays a key role in the successful adaptation of behavior and strategy.

description: Place-based education (PBE) combines experiential learning and connections between classrooms and the wider local area to raise students’ awareness of their communities and inspire them to make meaningful impacts upon their places. PBE has been shown to positively impact students’ engagement and enjoyment in the classroom. Additionally, as PBE remains a growing field, it has no set definition. Prior research has shown a PBE program requires significant time and effort from school staff to establish. This case study explored the experiences of staff members in a small school district in the Northwestern United States as they implemented PBE. It sought to determine (1) how school staff defined their experiences implementing PBE and (2) the barriers and opportunities they faced in doing so. This study utilized a qualitative methodological framework of semi-structured interviews to gather findings from school staff members of varied organizational positionalities and experience levels. Findings indicated school staff defined their PBE work as profoundly community oriented and demonstrated a mindset of continuous professional improvement toward PBE. Participants expressed the importance of leadership to their PBE efforts and were driven to utilize PBE for its perceived benefits to students. Further, participants expressed concern about staffing issues, reliable sources of funding, and tensions between the traditional structure of public schooling and the experiential nature of PBE. Participants in this study expressed pride and innovation in their stories of implementing PBE as professional educators. The purpose of this study was to explore practitioners’ perspectives in the growing field of PBE and how their experiences could inform future PBE research and practice.

description: To identify the factors on which potential buyers base their purchasing decisions. The survey will include details of at least 12 potential attributes that influence purchasing decisions influencing attributes of offshore wind turbines. In particular, the market potential of the technology will be assessed using primary data from original surveys of potential buyers and users of innovations (Stakeholder Group 2). A plan is proposed to continue with the online engagement with Group 2 as well as person to person if that is possible. The first stage is to use a SWOT analysis to encourage critical thinking regarding wind turbine design. The second stage is to enter a modified Delphi study which consists of two elements based on the criteria used to judge the suitability of turbines. The first element is a sequencing exercise, the second is a pairwise comparison feeding into an AHP. This Delphi study will provide feedback to
 participants and be repeated to allow for recollection and reflection on the part of the participants so as to produce a considered priority list of criteria.

description: Soybean (Glycine max L.) farming is of paramount global and socioeconomic significance, especially in Brazil, where it is cultivated across all states. As the primary agricultural commodity in the country, its economic impact is substantial, driven by its diverse range of products derived from its grains (MAPA, 2016). The 5th monitoring report of the Brazilian grain harvest for the 2022/2023 period, published by CONAB (2023), highlights Goiás' prominent role in national soybean production. In the 2021/2022 harvest, Goiás ranked third in the country with a production of 28,834.4 thousand tons, following Mato Grosso and Paraná. This data underscores the critical contribution of Goiás to Brazil's soybean industry and its significant position within the global agricultural market
Local Accretion Disk Dynamo Models From Azimuthally Averaged 3D Simulations

description: Magnetized turbulent systems such as accretion disks can be numerically evolved for long times much more cheaply if axisymmetry is assumed. However, the field in such 2D simulations unphysically decays unless dynamo terms, representing the underlying nonaxisymmetry, are explicitly added to the induction equation. Thus far, such simulations have commonly assumed an isotropic, diagonal forms of the dynamo coefficient tensors. While this does yield magnetic fields that do not die off, it is unclear that it is necessarily correct. We test this assumption by azimuthally averaging data from a 3D black hole accretion simulation carried out by the IllinoisGRMHD code. Multiple local models, in which the dynamo electromotive force is a linear function of the local azimuthally averaged magnetic field and current, are tested, but no statistically reliable model could be attained. However, we do find that most of the turbulent kinetic and magnetic energy in the disk is not in the azimuthal mean, but in the RMS deviation, although the jet is mostly axisymmetric. As such, we conclude by discussing more general models that incorporate turbulent energy, dynamo electromotive force and momentum transport.

Influence of deciduous tree representation on understory plant communities in Pacific Northwest forests
Creators: name: Holt, Dano
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2023

description: While broadleaf deciduous trees are historically a consistent component of forest canopy composition, the ecological importance of these trees has been understudied, in particular their impact on understory plant communities. Broadleaf deciduous trees are a unique source of functional diversity in the Pacific Northwest’s conifer dominated forests, and have been shown to alter soil nutrients, precipitation reaching the forest floor, epiphytic communities and provide critical habitat for a number of dependent wildlife species. However, their impact on understory plant communities has remained understudied. In particular, as one of the key functional differences in coniferous and broadleaf trees in the Pacific Northwest is a deciduous leaf habit which increases light transmission in the fall through winter, their impact on light availability to the understory has remained under investigated. It was hypothesized that understory plants growing beneath deciduous trees would be exposed to more light. This study investigated understory plant communities growing under overstory canopies of highly coniferous, low deciduous or highly deciduous compositions. Hypotheses were that 1) understory plant communities will differ significantly from communities under stands with differing overstory percent deciduousness, and that there would be changes to understory plant community diversity and 2) commonly occurring generalist species be acclimated to higher light availability in terms of functional traits, including specific leaf area (SLA), leaf area (LA), rachis angle (in Polystichum munitum), light compensation point (LCP), light response curves, saturation point (K) and intrinsic water use efficiency (iWUE). Understory community composition sampling indicated that canopy composition type had a significant effect on understory community, as indicated by a PERMANOVA test. Additionally, there were a number of species that only occurred under either highly coniferous or highly deciduous canopies. Results from functional trait sampling indicated that for the majority of traits generalist species including Acer circinatum, Berberis nervosa and Polystichum munitum exhibited changes to functional traits indicating that highly deciduous plots were higher light plots. Not only were understory communities growing under highly deciduous canopies significantly differ from those growing beneath low deciduous or highly coniferous canopies, but there were changes to morphology and physiology of plants under differing canopy types. These results suggest that broadleaf deciduous trees in the Pacific Northwest have a functional impact on heterogeneity of the understory environment and consequently the understory plant communities. These results imply that broadleaf deciduous trees play an important role in structuring forests in the Pacific Northwest, and their impact should be assessed in both forest management and conservation purposes.

Building Reengagement Readiness for Sustained Engagement in an Alternative High School

description: There are ramifications for the educational loss that comes with student disengagement. Contemporary use of alternative high schools focuses on Tier III responses to intervention for disengaged students at comprehensive high schools. Alternative schools are affiliated with students disenfranchised by traditional educational institutions and are considered a subset of students that are not making adequate progress toward graduation (Lange & Sletten, 2002; Lehr et al., 2009.) Reengagement in an alternative setting is a solution that may be just a one-time opportunity as every attempt is significant to the individual behaviors presented (Cranston et al., 2016; Rittel & Webber, 1973). Staff encountering disengaged students may only have a one-time opportunity to resolve an issue that will reengage the student but, in turn, may open a new series of problems by their attending school. Disengaged students, in this study, are identified as “compliant,” students who came to school every day yet failed to make sufficient credit-earning progress. Teachers of chronically disengaged learners can tell you nothing in the research explains how to reengage learners identified as at-risk. Engagement, according to Sinatra et al. (2015), “is one of the hottest research topics in the field of educational psychology” (p.1). Unearthing the truth about why students disengage from learning and school is one of the most intractable problems of practice that researchers and educators have failed to address adequately. Yet, the front-line teacher must battle learner disengagement minute by minute during any given class period. The behaviors are affected by the lived reality of the individual student, such as adverse experiences that go beyond the present pandemic situation. Lawson and Lawson (2020) point out that disengagement trajectories stemming from adverse experiences can present themselves and create undesirable outcomes that lead to dropping out. The Action Research study applied the narratives of twelve students through the use of Cogenerative Dialogues. These dialogues allowed students to name the disengagement and provide insight into possible reengagement needs for promoting sustainable engagement. Additionally, the study used classroom observations, critical self-reflection, and collaborative conversations of six teachers working to reengage students at an alternative high school.
Site Preference of Indium Solute Atoms in a Series of Cubic Laves RAl2 Phases

description: Site preferences of dilute indium impurity atoms were studied in seven cubic Laves phases RAl2 (R= La, Ce, Nd, Sm, Gd, Dy, Ho) having the cF24 (C15) structure. Preferences were measured in thermal equilibrium for temperatures in the range of 573 - 1073 K using perturbed angular correlation of gamma rays (PAC). From the temperature dependences of ratios of fractions of probes on R and Al sites, transfer-enthalpies of indium solutes between the two sublattices were determined. Transfer-enthalpies were found to vary linearly along the series as a function of lattice parameter, changing sign between LaAl2 and CeAl2. The ratio of site-fractions of probes on R and Al sites also changed along the series. For LaAl2, the Al site was preferred at low temperature, but for the other six RAl2 phases, the R site was preferred. Transfer-enthalpies were found to be correlated with site-fraction ratios at an intermediate temperature of the order 923 K. A model was developed based on the local geometry of atoms within the cF24 unit cell and the relative sizes of R, Al, and In atoms. The model takes into account charge-transfer between atoms owing to electronegativity differences and strain-energy concepts based on the semi-empirical Miedema model. The model successfully reproduced the linear variation in the transfer-enthalpies. Some experiments included samples with a two-phase mixture of RAl2 with either RAl3 or RAl. Dilute indium solutes were observed to preferentially occupy RAl3 phases over RAl2.
