description: The application of anthropomorphic design features is widely believed to facilitate human–robot interaction. However, the preference for robots’ anthropomorphism is highly context sensitive, as different application domains induce different expectations towards robots. In this study the influence of application domain on the preferred degree of anthropomorphism is examined. Moreover, as anthropomorphic design can reinforce existing gender stereotypes of different work domains, gender associations were investigated. Therefore, participants received different context descriptions and subsequently selected and named one robot out of differently anthropomorphic robots in an online survey. The results indicate that lower degrees of anthropomorphism are preferred in the industrial domain and higher degrees of anthropomorphism in the social domain, whereas no clear preference was found in the service domain. Unexpectedly, mainly functional names were ascribed to the robots and if human names were chosen, male names were given more frequently than female names even in the social domain. The results support the assumption that the preferred degree of anthropomorphism depends on the context. Hence, the sociability of a domain might determine to what extent anthropomorphic design features are suitable. Furthermore, the results indicate that robots are overall associated more functional, than gendered (and if gendered then masculine). Therefore, the design features of robots should enhance functionalities, rather than specific gendered anthropomorphic attributes to avoid stereotypes and not further reinforce the association of masculinity and technology.

description: The inflammatory effects of glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) have been identified; however, the potential mechanism is still controversial. In this study, we investigated the effects of GSK-3-mediated interleukin-10 (IL-10) inhibition on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation. Treatment with GSK-3 inhibitor significantly blocked LPS-induced nitric oxide (NO) production as well as inducible NO synthase (iNOS) expression in BV2 murine microglial cells and primary rat microglia-enriched cultures. Using an antibody array and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, we found that GSK-3-inhibitor treatment blocked LPS-induced upregulation of regulated on activation normal T-cell expressed and secreted (RANTES) and increased IL-10 expression. The time kinetics and dose–response relations were confirmed. Reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction showed changes on the messenger RNA level as well. Inhibiting GSK-3 using short-interference RNA, and transfecting cells with dominant-negative GSK-3β, blocked LPS-elicited NO and RANTES expression but increased IL-10 expression. In contrast, GSK-3β overexpression upregulated NO and RANTES but downregulated IL-10 in LPS-stimulated cells. Treating cells with anti-IL-10 neutralizing antibodies to prevent GSK-3 from downregulating NO and RANTES showed that the anti-inflammatory effects are, at least in part, IL-10-dependent. The involvement of Akt, extracellular signal-regulated kinase, p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase and nuclear factor-κB that positively regulated IL-10 was demonstrated. Furthermore, inhibiting GSK-3 increased the nuclear translocation of transcription factors, that all important for IL-10 expression, including CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein beat (C/EBPβ), C/EBPδ, cAMP response binding element protein and NF-κB. Taken together, these findings reveal that LPS induces iNOS/NO biosynthesis and RANTES production through a mechanism involving GSK-3-mediated IL-10 downregulation.

description: The recently proposed UV self-complete quantum gravity program is a new and very interesting way to envision Planckian/trans-Planckian physics. in this new framework, high energy scattering is dominated by the creation of micro black holes, and it is experimentally impossible to probe distances shorter than the horizon radius. In this letter we present a model which realizes this idea through the creation of self-regular quantum black holes admitting a minimal size extremal configuration. Their radius provides a dynamically generated minimal length acting as a universal short-distance cut-off. We propose a quantisation scheme for this new kind of microscopic objects based on a Bohr-like approach, which does not require a detailed knowledge of quantum gravity. The resulting black hole quantum picture resembles the energy spectrum of a quantum harmonic oscillator. The mass of the extremal configuration plays the role of zero-point energy. Large quantum number re-establish the classical black hole description. Finally, we also formulate a "quantum hoop conjecture" which is satisfied by all the mass eigen-states and sustains the existence of quantum black holes sourced by Gaussian matter distributions.

description: We establish new connection formulae between Fibonacci polynomials and Chebyshev polynomials of the first and second kinds. These formulae are expressed in terms of certain values of hypergeometric functions of the type 2F1. Consequently, we obtain some new expressions for the celebrated Fibonacci numbers and their derivatives sequences. Moreover, we evaluate some definite integrals involving products of Fibonacci and Chebyshev polynomials.

description: We demonstrate how to realize within supergravity a novel chaotic-type inflationary scenario driven by the radial parts of a conjugate pair of Higgs superfields causing the spontaneous breaking of a grand unified gauge symmetry at a scale assuming the value of the supersymmetric grand unification scale. The superpotential is uniquely determined at the renormalizable level by the gauge symmetry and a continuous R symmetry. We select two types of Kahler potentials, which respect these symmetries as well as an approximate shift symmetry. In particular, they include in a logarithm a dominant shift-symmetric term proportional to a parameter c- together with a small term violating this symmetry and characterized by a parameter c+. In both cases, imposing a lower bound on c-, inflation can be attained with subplanckian values of the original inflaton, while the corresponding effective theory respects perturbative unitarity for r+-=c+/c-<1. These inflationary models do not lead to overproduction of cosmic defects, are largely independent of the one-loop radiative corrections and accommodate, for natural values of r+-, observable gravitational waves consistently with all the current observational data. The inflaton mass is mostly confined in the range (3.7-8.1)x10^10 GeV.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2017

description: There are different frameworks for the area of the currently omnipresent technology Augmented Reality which support developers creating an application in this domain with various for this area suitable functionalities. This paper deals with the definition and the fundamentals of Augmented Reality. Afterwards there is given a differentiation to the related technology Virtual Reality, to come over to an explanation of the technical basis in terms of software as well as hardware, to well-known problems associated with the use of Augmented Reality systems.
 Based on this knowledge there follows the definition of Augmented Reality Frameworks, the various basic components and a small selection of design patterns which are implemented by several software modules. Furthermore, an overview of existing solutions from various manufacturers will be discussed after passing on typical functionalities which are provided by several of these frameworks. Finally, based on predefined premises the frameworks Vuforia and Kudan AR Engine are selected, will be explained with the aid of prototypes and are compared in a final chapter in the disciplines of marker-based and marker-less tracking. With the actual
 question of this elaborate (Which AR-frameworks exist and which functionality do those covers?) as ubiquitous problem statement, the attention should be drawn to differences which may be important in the implementation of applications in the field of Augmented Reality to create a technical fundamental as well as a basis for conceptual understanding.

description: There is a clear link between obesity and metabolic disorders; however, little is known about the effect of obesity on immune function, particularly during an infection. We have previously reported that diet-induced obese mice are more susceptible to morbidity and mortality during influenza infection than lean mice. Obese mice displayed aberrant innate immune responses characterized by minimal induction of interferon (IFN)-α/β, delayed expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, and impaired natural killer cell cytotoxicity. To further examine the abnormal immune response of diet-induced obese mice, we analysed the cellularity of their lungs during influenza virus infection. We found delayed mononuclear cell entry with a marked decrease in dendritic cells (DCs) throughout the infection. Given the critical role of the DC in activating the cell-mediated immune response, we also analysed the functional capacity of DCs from obese mice. We found that, while obesity did not interfere with antigen uptake and migration, it did impair DC antigen presentation. This was probably attributable to an altered cytokine milieu, as interleukin (IL)-2, IL-12, and IL-6 were differentially regulated in the obese mice. Overall, this did not impact the total number of virus-specific CD8+ T cells that were elicited, but did affect the number and frequency of CD3+ and CD8+ T cells in the lung. Thus, obesity interferes with cellular responses during influenza infection, leading to alterations in the T-cell population that ultimately may be detrimental to the host.

description: We study thin films and magnetic tunnel junction nanopillars based on Ta/Co$_{20}$Fe$_{60}$B$_{20}$/MgO multilayers by electrical transport and magnetometry measurements. These measurements suggest that an ultrathin magnetic oxide layer forms at the Co$_{20}$Fe$_{60}$B$_{20}$/MgO interface. At approximately 160 K, the oxide undergoes a phase transition from an insulating antiferromagnet at low temperatures to a conductive weak ferromagnet at high temperatures. This interfacial magnetic oxide is expected to have significant impact on the magnetic properties of CoFeB-based multilayers used in spin torque memories.

description: Context. The prototypical low-mass young stellar object, T Tauri, is a well-studied multiple system with at least three components. Aims. We aim to explore the T Tau system with the highest spatial resolution, study the time evolution of the known components, and re-determine the orbital parameters of the stars. Methods. Near-infrared classical imaging and integral field spectrograph observations were obtained during the Science Verification of SPHERE, the new high-contrast imaging facility at the VLT. The obtained FWHM of the primary star varies between 0.050" and 0.059", making these the highest spatial resolution near-infrared images of the T Tauri system obtained to date. Results. Our near-infrared images confirm the presence of extended emission south of T Tau Sa, reported in the literature. New narrow-band images show, for the first time, that this feature shows strong emission in both the Br-γ and H2 1-0 S(1) lines. Broadband imaging at 2.27 μm shows that T Tau Sa is 0.92 mag brighter than T Tau Sb, which is in contrast to observations from Jan. 2014 (when T Tau Sa was fainter than Sb), and demonstrates that T Tau Sa has entered a new period of high variability. The newly obtained astrometric positions of T Tau Sa and Sb agree with orbital fits from previous works. The orbit of T Tau S (the center of gravity of Sa and Sb) around T Tau N is poorly constrained by the available observations and can be fit with a range of orbits ranging from a nearly circular orbit with a period of 475 years to highly eccentric orbits with periods up to 2.7*10^4 years. We also detected a feature south of T Tau N, at a distance of $144 \pm 3$ mas, which shows the properties of a new companion.

description: Francisella tularensis is a Gram-negative intracellular bacterium that is the causative agent of tularaemia. Concerns regarding its use as a bioterrorism agent have led to a renewed interest in the biology of infection, host response and pathogenesis. A robust T-cell response is critical to confer protection against F. tularensis. However, characterization of the cellular immune response has been hindered by the paucity of tools to examine the anti-Francisella immune response at the molecular level. We set out to combine recent advances of genomics with solid-phase antigen delivery coupled with a T-cell functional assay to identify T-cell epitopes. A subset of clones, encoding serological targets, was selected from an F. tularensis SchuS4 ordered genomic library and subcloned into a bacterial expression vector to test the feasibility of this approach. Proteins were expressed and purified individually employing the BioRobot 3000 in a semi-automated purification method. The purified proteins were coupled to beads, delivered to antigen-presenting cells for processing, and screened with Francisella-specific T-cell hybridomas of unknown specificity. We identified cellular reactivity against the pathogenicity protein IglB, and the chaperone proteins GroEL and DnaK. Further analyses using genetic deletions and synthetic peptides were performed to identify the minimal peptide epitopes. Priming with the peptide epitopes before infection with F. tularensis LVS increased the frequency of antigen-specific CD4 T cells as assessed by intracellular interferon-γ staining. These results illustrate the feasibility of screening an arrayed protein library that should be applicable to a variety of pathogens.

description: The article considers the impact of digitalization on the transformation of the modern educational process in the context of the rapid development of technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The main focus is on the analysis of end-to-end technologies such as artificial intelligence, virtual and augmented reality, distributed ledger systems (blockchain), robotics and sensorics, as well as their impact on the educational environment. It is noted that digital innovations create new opportunities for modernizing the educational process, including personalization of learning, development of research competencies, expanding access to educational resources and the formation of lifelong learning. At the same time, digitalization creates certain risks, including the reduction of social interaction in the educational process due to the transition to a virtual environment, the spread of low-quality educational content outside state standards, and cybersecurity threats associated with the use of digital platforms. The problem of introducing digital technologies, in particular artificial intelligence and blockchain systems, is studied, and the importance of implementing technologies in a way that takes into account ethical and social aspects is emphasized. The prospects for the use of virtual reality technologies that improve students' cognitive activity, promote experiential learning and create interactive learning environments are analyzed. The role of robotics and sensorics in creating an adaptive learning environment that meets the modern needs of students in the digital economy is considered. The prospects of blockchain technologies for certificate management, competency assessment, and transparency in educational processes are also highlighted. The article concludes that in order to minimize the risks of digitalization, it is necessary to develop alternative transdisciplinary theoretical models of education that will ensure a balance between the integration of digital technologies and traditional pedagogical principles. Further research should focus on the social effects and risks of digitalization, taking into account the specifics of different educational contexts.

description: Since 2007, several contributions have tried to identify early-warning signals of the financial crisis. However, the vast majority of analyses has focused on financial systems and little theoretical work has been done on the economic counterpart. In the present paper we fill this gap and employ the theoretical tools of network theory to shed light on the response of world trade to the financial crisis of 2007 and the economic recession of 2008-2009. We have explored the evolution of the bipartite World Trade Web (WTW) across the years 1995-2010, monitoring the behavior of the system both before and after 2007. Our analysis shows early structural changes in the WTW topology: since 2003, the WTW becomes increasingly compatible with the picture of a network where correlations between countries and products are progressively lost. Moreover, the WTW structural modification can be considered as concluded in 2010, after a seemingly stationary phase of three years. We have also refined our analysis by considering specific subsets of countries and products: the most statistically significant early-warning signals are provided by the most volatile macrosectors, especially when measured on developing countries, suggesting the emerging economies as being the most sensitive ones to the global economic cycles.

description: Serum-opsonized group A streptococcal cell walls, consisting of peptidoglycan-polysaccharide polymers (PG-APS), induced monolayers of human neutrophils, monocytes, and eosinophils to aggregate. When erythrocytes were present in the incubation medium, they also were associated with the leukocyte aggregates. By immunofluorescence staining, PG-APS was localized at the site of cell-to-cell contact. By scanning electron microscopy the cells appeared to adhere to one another by surface contact; filopodia often acted as connectors, particularly in leukocyte-erythrocyte interaction. Cellular binding of PG-APS and aggregation were dependent upon C3 fixation. No aggregation was observed when heat-inactivated serum was used as an opsonin. In contrast to peptidoglycan, an activator of the alternative complement pathway, the group-specific polysaccharide moiety of PG-APS induced no cellular aggregation. Rosette formation was observed in suspensions when neutrophils were incubated with erythrocytes coated with C3b-opsonized PG-APS. Cell monolayers bound serum-opsonized PG-APS, but aggregation was observed only when serum was present in the incubation medium. Similar results were obtained with C5-deficient serum. No aggregation was observed with heat-inactivated serum or bovine serum albumin. A heat-labile serum component(s) appears to be required to elicit leukocyte aggregation. It is suggested that C3 fixed to PG-APS acts as a bridge to link cells together in clusters as a result of common recognition of C3 by leukocyte and erythrocyte complement receptors.

description: Background—Maintaining a gluten free diet (GFD) without an underlying diagnosis of celiac disease has enjoyed widespread acceptance in the USA. Methods—We performed a cross-sectional study utilizing a GFD questionnaire in 1647 patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) participating in the CCFA Partners longitudinal, Internet-based cohort. Results—A diagnosis of celiac disease (CD) and non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) were reported by 10 (0.6%) and 81 (4.9%) respondents, respectively. Three hundred fourteen (19.1%) participants reported having previously tried a GFD and 135 (8.2%) reported current use of GFD. Overall 65.6% of all patients, who attempted a GFD described an improvement of their GI-symptoms and 38.3% reported fewer or less severe IBD flares. In patients currently attempting a GFD, excellent adherence was associated with significant improvement of fatigue (p<0.03). Conclusion—In this large group of patients with IBD, a substantial number had attempted a GFD, of whom the majority had some form of improvement in GI-symptoms. Testing a GFD in clinical practice in patients with significant intestinal symptoms, which are not solely explained by the degree of intestinal inflammation, has the potential to be a safe and highly efficient therapeutic approach. Further prospective studies into mechanisms of gluten sensitivity in IBD are warranted.

description: We study a two-dimensional rotating Bose-Einstein condensate confined by an anharmonic trap in the framework of the Gross-Pitaevksii theory. We consider a rapid rotation regime close to the transition to a giant vortex state. It was proven in [M. Correggi {\it et al}, {\it J. Math. Phys. \textbf{53}(2012)] that such a transition occurs when the angular velocity is of order $ \varepsilon ^{-4}$, with $ \varepsilon ^{-2} $ denoting the coefficient of the nonlinear term in the Gross-Pitaevskii functional and $ \varepsilon \ll 1 $ (Thomas-Fermi regime). In this paper we identify a finite value $ Ω_{\mathrm{c}} $ such that, if $ Ω= Ω_0/\varepsilon ^4 $ with $ Ω_0 > Ω_{\mathrm{c}} $, the condensate is in the giant vortex phase. Under the same condition we prove a refined energy asymptotics and an estimate of the winding number of any Gross-Pitaevskii minimizer.

description: Acute exposure to ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is tied to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, especially among those with prior cardiac injury. The mechanisms and pathophysiologic events precipitating these outcomes remain poorly understood but may involve inflammation, oxidative stress, arrhythmia, and autonomic nervous system imbalance. Cardiomyopathy results from cardiac injury, is the leading cause of heart failure, and can be induced in heart failure-prone rats through sub-chronic infusion of isoproterenol (ISO). To test whether cardiomyopathy confers susceptibility to inhaled PM2.5 and can elucidate potential mechanisms, we investigated the cardiophysiologic, ventilatory, inflammatory, and oxidative effects of a single nose-only inhalation of a metal-rich PM2.5 (580 μg/m3, 4h) in ISO-pretreated (35 days * 1.0 mg/kg/day sc) rats. During the 5 days post-treatment, ISO-treated rats had decreased HR and BP and increased pre-ejection period (PEP, an inverse correlate of contractility) relative to saline-treated rats. Before inhalation exposure, ISO-pretreated rats had increased PR and ventricular repolarization time (QT) and heterogeneity (Tp-Te). Relative to clean air, PM2.5 further prolonged PR-interval and decreased systolic BP during inhalation exposure; increased tidal volume, expiratory time, heart rate variability (HRV) parameters of parasympathetic tone, and atrioventricular block arrhythmias over the hours post-exposure; increased pulmonary neutrophils, macrophages, and total antioxidant status one day post-exposure; and decreased pulmonary glutathione peroxidase 8 weeks after exposure, with all effects occurring exclusively in ISO-pretreated rats but not saline-pretreated rats. Ultimately, our findings indicate that cardiomyopathy confers susceptibility to the oxidative, inflammatory, ventilatory, autonomic, and arrhythmogenic effects of acute PM2.5 inhalation.

description: This three-year research project began in January 2014 and investigated whether, during the Victorian period, the professions formed a distinct self-sustaining social group with its own mores and values. The project looked at 16,000 individuals drawn from census data for Alnwick, Brighton, Bristol, Dundee, Greenock, Leeds, Merthyr Tydfil, Morpeth, and Winchester. The research project was funded by the UK Economic & Social Research Council and was based at the Universities of Oxford and Northumbria.
The multicomponent diffuse-interface model and its application to water/air interfaces
Creators: name: Benilov, Eugene
Publisher: name: University of Limerick
Year: 2023
Subjects: Mathematical sciences

description: Fundamental properties of the multicomponent diffuse-interface model (DIM), such as the maximum entropy principle and conservation laws, are used to explore the basic interfacial dynamics and phase transitions in fluids. Flat interfaces with monotonically changing densities of the components are proved to be stable. A liquid layer in contact with oversaturated but stable vapour is shown to either fully evaporate or eternally expand (depending on the initial perturbation), whereas a liquid in contact with saturated vapour always evaporates. If vapour is bounded by a solid wall with a sufficiently large contact angle, spontaneous condensation occurs in the vapour. The external parameters of the multicomponent DIM – e.g. the Korteweg matrix describing the long-range intermolecular forces – are determined for the water/air combination. The Soret and Dufour effects are shown to be negligible in this case, and the interfacial flow, close to isothermal.

description: Questo capitolo si occupa di una questione più ampia del settore cooperativo; quella della partecipazione dei lavoratori. Dalle origini, la cooperazione di lavoro ha rappresentato un tipo di relazione di lavoro che è differente da quella datore di lavoro/lavoratore associata all’economia di mercato. La differenza nella cooperazione di lavoro è dovuta al fatto che il lavoro del socio lavoratore è strutturalmente inserita in un’impresa, quella cooperativa, che è diversa da quella di capitale.

description: Helicobacter pylori is the primary cause of gastric cancer. However, monoclonal Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) nucleic acid is also present in up to 10% of these tumors worldwide. EBV prevalence is increased with male sex, non-antral localization and surgically disrupted anatomy. To further examine associations between EBV and gastric cancer, we organized an international consortium of 11 studies with tumor EBV status assessed by in situ hybridization. We pooled individual-level data on 2,648 gastric cancer patients, including 184 (7%) with EBV-positive cancers; all studies had information on cigarette use (64% smokers) and 9 had data on alcohol (57% drinkers). We compared patients with EBV-positive and EBV-negative tumors to evaluate smoking and alcohol interactions with EBV status. To account for within-population clustering, multi-level logistic regression models were used to estimate interaction odds ratios (OR) adjusted for distributions of sex (72% male), age (mean 59 years), tumor histology (56% Lauren intestinal-type), anatomic subsite (61% noncardia) and year of diagnosis (1983–2012). In unadjusted analyses, the OR of EBV positivity with smoking was 2.2 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.6–3.2). The OR was attenuated to 1.5 (95% CI, 1.01–2.3) by adjustment for the possible confounders. There was no significant interaction of EBV status with alcohol drinking (crude OR, 1.4; adjusted OR, 1.0). Our data indicate the smoking association with gastric cancer is stronger for EBV-positive than EBV-negative tumors. Conversely, the null association with alcohol does not vary by EBV status. Distinct epidemiologic characteristics of EBV-positive cancer further implicate the virus as a co-factor in gastric carcinogenesis.

description: AR-12 has been evaluated in clinical trials as an anti-cancer agent but also has demonstrated host-directed, broad-spectrum clearance of bacteria. We have previously shown that AR-12 has activity in vitro against Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium and Francisella species by inducing autophagy and other host immune pathways. AR-12 treatment of S. Typhimurium-infected mice resulted in a 10-fold reduction in bacterial load in the liver and spleen and an increased survival time. However, AR-12 treatment did not protect mice from death, likely due poor formulation. In the current study, AR-12 was encapsulated in a microparticulate carrier formulated from the novel degradable biopolymer acetalated dextran (Ace-DEX) and subsequently evaluated for its activity in human monocyte-derived macrophages (hMDMs). Our results show that hMDMs efficiently internalized Ace-DEX microparticles (MPs), and that encapsulation significantly reduced host cell cytotoxicity compared to unencapsulated AR-12. Efficient macrophage internalization of AR-12 loaded MPs (AR-12/MPs) was further demonstrated by autophagosome formation that was comparable to free AR-12 and resulted in enhanced clearance of intracellular Salmonella. Taken together, these studies provide support that Ace-DEX encapsulated AR-12 may be a promising new therapeutic agent to control intracellular bacterial pathogens of macrophages by targeting delivery and reducing drug toxicity.
Doubly-boosted vector cosmologies from disformal metrics

description: A systematic dynamical system approach is applied to study the cosmology of anisotropic Bianchi I universes in which a vector field is assumed to operate on a disformal frame. This study yields a number of new fixed points, among which anisotropic scaling solutions. Within the simplifying assumption of (nearly) constant-slope potentials these are either not stable attractors, do not describe accelerating expansion or else they feature too large anisotropies to be compatible with observations. Nonetheless, some solutions do have an appeal for cosmological applications in that isotropy is retained due to rapid oscillations of the vector field.

description: The aim of this contribution was to investigate predictors of innovative work behavior (IWB) in nonprofit organizations. For instance, in schools, innovative solutions are crucial as the quality of education and therefore the schools' competitiveness depends on their ability to keep pace with technological, economic, and societal transformations. We addressed this issue in a quantitative study with 130 teachers in Dutch secondary schools employing a time-lag design. In accordance with self-determination theory, we investigated the role of transformational leadership for enhancing IWB and the role of basic psychological needs satisfaction in mediating this relationship. By employing structural equation modeling, we found that transformational leadership was positively related to the satisfaction of the teachers' needs for autonomy and competence. Furthermore, the satisfaction of the need for competence positively predicted teachers' IWB. In addition, perceived competence fully mediated the relationship between transformational leadership and teachers' IWB. Accordingly, persons with leadership responsibilities should adopt a transformational leadership style and motivate their employees by providing individual attention, intellectual stimulation, and encouragement for goal striving. Specifically, leaders may provide feedback on employees' innovative ideas and their strategies for realizing innovative solutions, thus helping them to become increasingly confident about what they can achieve and improve concerning their contributions to innovation development. For human resource development (HRD) professionals, our findings imply that efforts toward leadership training and development (e.g., training, coaching, and mentoring) should incorporate knowledge and practical experiences about transformational leadership as well as its role for employees' IWB and their contributions to organizational and professional development.

description: Purpose—Although the emergence of sexual expression during adolescence and early adulthood is nearly universal, little is known about patterns of initiation. Methods—We used latent class analysis to group 12,194 respondents from Waves I and IV of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health) into one of five classes based on variety, timing, spacing, and sequencing of oral-genital, anal, and vaginal sex. Multinomial logistic regression models, stratified by biological sex, examined associations between sociodemographic characteristics and class membership. Results—Approximately half of respondents followed a pattern characterized predominately by initiation of vaginal sex first, average age of initiation of approximately 16 years, and spacing of one year or more between initiation of the first and second behaviors; almost one third initiated sexual activity slightly later but reported first experiences of oral-genital and vaginal sex within the same year. Classes characterized by postponement of sexual activity, initiation of only one type of behavior, or adolescent initiation of anal sex were substantially less common. Compared to White respondents, Black respondents were more likely to appear in classes characterized by initiation of vaginal sex first. Respondents from lower socioeconomic backgrounds were more likely to be in classes distinguished by early/atypical patterns of initiation. Conclusions—A small number of typical and atypical patterns capture the emergence of sexual behavior during adolescence, but these patterns reveal complex associations among different elements of emerging sexuality that should be considered in future research.
