The influence of occupational commitment on emotional labour
Creators: name: Prentice, Catherine
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This study examined the relationship between emotional labour and performance. Emotional labour is referred to as the management of feelings through surface and deep acting for purposes of remuneration. Occupational commitment is proposed as a potential moderator in the relationship between emotional labour and performance. In gathering evidence for the present investigation, 578 responses received from tourism and hospitality industry service employees were analysed to test the proposed relationships. The results show that it is surface acting, rather than deep acting which relates positively to task performance. Testing of moderation indicates that affective and continuance occupational commitments increase performance outcomes by facilitating the implementation of emotional labour strategy. Implications of the findings are presented at the end of this paper.

description: Nucleation and growth of amyloid fibrils were found to only occur in supersaturated solutions above a critical concentration (ccrit). The biophysical meaning of ccrit remained mostly obscure, since typical low values of ccrit in the sub-μM range hamper investigations of potential oligomeric states and their structure. Here, we investigate the parathyroid hormone PTH84 as an example of a functional amyloid fibril forming peptide with a comparably high ccrit of 67±21 μM. We describe a complex concentration dependent prenucleation ensemble of oligomers of different sizes and secondary structure compositions and highlight the occurrence of a trimer and tetramer at ccrit as possible precursors for primary fibril nucleation. Furthermore, the soluble state found in equilibrium with fibrils adopts to the prenucleation state present at ccrit. Our study sheds light onto early events of amyloid formation directly related to the critical concentration and underlines oligomer formation as a key feature of fibril nucleation. Our results contribute to a deeper understanding of the determinants of supersaturated peptide solutions. In the current study we present a biophysical approach to investigate ccrit of amyloid fibril formation of PTH84 in terms of secondary structure, cluster size and residue resolved intermolecular interactions during oligomer formation. Throughout the investigated range of concentrations (1 μM to 500 μM) we found different states of oligomerization with varying ability to contribute to primary fibril nucleation and with a concentration dependent equilibrium. In this context, we identified the previously described ccrit of PTH84 to mark a minimum concentration for the formation of homo-trimers/tetramers. These investigations allowed us to characterize molecular interactions of various oligomeric states that are further converted into elongation competent fibril nuclei during the lag phase of a functional amyloid forming peptide.
Using life quality perception to define corporate philanthropy in emerging markets

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: A principal component analysis based upon over 3000 interviews with Kenyan consumers identifies ten key dimensions of concern or worry that have negatively impacted respondents' quality of life over the past year. Organizations that use these dimensions as a focus for their philanthropic activities are more likely to achieve a positive impact upon the community, creating shared value for consumers and businesses alike. The analysis also reveals potential to develop targeted activities that will match an organization's chosen market segments. Emerging markets present strong growth prospects for multinational organizations. Many companies attempt to ameliorate the challenges of operating in these regions by using CSR and strategic philanthropy to relate to local communities, but frequently this is done without clear understanding of which facets of life quality they should be trying to improve. This paper helps to direct and define corporate philanthropy in emerging markets.

description: Dissection is judged as a major hurdle for a more widespread use of DCB Vessel stretching by either overdilatation or by straightening of very tortuous vessel segments are the predominant avoidable or modifiable risk factors for major dissection during predilatation or during DCB application. While aggressive (pre-)dilatation reduces the risk of elastic recoil, it increases the number of severe dissections. The known effects of positive vessel remodeling (1,2) might allow a more gentle angioplasty with residual stenosis of up to 30 % after DCB application without negative effects on long term results (3).

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This paper investigates the applicability of firm life-cycle theory on SMEs. Companies in the Hungarian ICT sector were surveyed using an established quantitative survey instrument assessing organisational characteristics of firms. Four major points of criticism identified regarding the application of firm life-cycle theory are reflected upon, and the results of the study are cross-referenced with findings of qualitative research investigating the firm lifecycle phenomenon in Hungary. Findings approve of the applicability of life-cycle stages, and show that transitions between stages tend to follow a progressive sequence. Results also indicate stagnation in SMEs, while their decline remains hidden.

description: Background: Against the backdrop of significant migration changes and the further growth projected in the diversity of the workforce, we explore the trans-national challenges of migrant workers, from a cultural perspective. Aim: Drawing from sociological and administrative theory, we seek to understand how different cultural settings influence trans-national experiences. Method: We report the results of a qualitative exploratory study through the lens of institutional anomie theory. Results: Drawing on this evidence, and on sociological and administrative theory, our findings and theoretical explanation lends strong support to understanding that the greater the gap in the cultural orientation of the worker's home country and new country, the greater the disequilibrium and anomie in work family interface. This study also confirms that cross cultural variables has a direct impact on trans-national challenges experienced by migrant workers. Conclusion: Our findings assist in developing strategic understanding of how trans-national challenges may improve current practices and policies.

description: The scatter of the spatially resolved star formation main sequence (SFMS) is investigated in order to reveal signatures about the processes of galaxy formation and evolution. We have assembled a sample of 355 nearby galaxies with spatially resolved H and mid-infrared fluxes from the Survey for Ionized Neutral Gas in Galaxies and the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, respectively. We examine the impact of various star formation rate (SFR) and stellar mass transformations on the SFMS. Ranging from 106 to 1011.5 M o and derived from color to mass-to-light ratio methods for mid-infrared bands, the stellar masses are internally consistent within their range of applicability and inherent systematic errors; a constant mass-to-light ratio also yields representative stellar masses. The various SFR estimates show intrinsic differences and produce noticeable vertical shifts in the SFMS, depending on the timescales and physics encompassed by the corresponding tracer. SFR estimates appear to break down on physical scales below 500 pc. We also examine the various sources of scatter in the spatially resolved SFMS and find morphology does not play a significant role. We identify three unique tracks across the SFMS by individual galaxies, delineated by a critical stellar mass density of log ∼ 7.5. Below this scale, the SFMS shows no clear trend and is likely driven by local, stochastic internal processes. Above this scale, all spatially resolved galaxies have comparable SFMS slopes but exhibit two different behaviors, resulting likely from the rate of mass accretion at the center of the galaxy.

description: Whistle blowing can be considered a key tool for fighting corruption, encouraging good governance, accountability and transparency in the public sector. Our main research objective was to gain a better sense of variables influencing employees' intentions to blow the whistle within South African local government. A survey document was sent to South African local governments. Respondents were required to indicate their opinions on a five point lickert scale. Principal component Factor analysis was applied to the data. The findings are consistent with previous research into whistle blowing. The need to blow the whistle is reduced if an organization's control system is seen to have integrity and is perceived as a deterrent against maleficent behaviours.

description: Actinic keratosis (AK) are common lesions in light-skinned individuals that can potentially progress to cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC). Both conditions may be associated with significant morbidity and constitute a major disease burden, especially among the elderly. To establish an evidence-based framework for clinical decision making, the guideline “actinic keratosis and cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma” was updated and expanded by the topics cutanepus squamous cell carcinoma in situ (Bowen’s disease) and actinic cheilitis. This guideline was developed at the highest evidence level (S3) and is aimed at dermatologists, general practitioners, ear nose and throat specialists, surgeons, oncologists, radiologists and radiation oncologists in hospitals and office-based settings, as well as other medical specialties, policy makers and insurance funds involved in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with AK and cSCC.

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The purpose of this paper is to investigate predictors of workers' job satisfaction from the labour process and equity theoretical perspectives. The study employed a qualitative approach and draws on data from in depth focus groups of customer service representatives (CSR). The sample for this study was drawn from three Australian call centres operating in a variety of business sectors. The study highlights that three dimensions: monitoring, flexibility and work environment are significantly correlated to CSR job satisfaction. Developing an understanding of these dimensions is critical to understanding CSR job satisfaction perceptions in an industry which exhibits high labour turnover and absenteeism. This study provides new insights on how to manage effectively job satisfaction within call centre environments through the incorporation of more multi-dimensional aspects that are considered to be strong determinants of CSR job satisfaction. The study contributes to the literature by investigating a more multi-dimensional approach to studying job satisfaction in call centre environments. The intensive case study approach highlights the implications for HRM.

description: Introduction:Depending on their terpenoid and phenolic constituents plant resinscan be classified as diterpenoid, triterpenoid or phenolic resins; thereby the profile ofditerpenes and triterpenes is considered as genus- or even species-specific.Objectives:We aimed to develop a simple, rapid, inexpensive, sensitive and specificmethod for the identification of resin-specific triterpenoid and phenolic compoundsin plant resins using (HP)TLC [(high-performance) thin-layer chromatography] com-bined with APCI-MS (atmospheric pressure chemical ionisation mass spectrometry)and post-chromatographic detection reactions.Methods:Twenty resin samples from different plant species were analysed. Differentextraction procedures, post-chromatographic detection reagents as well as varioussorbents and solvents for planar chromatography were tested. To evaluate thepotential of the optimised (HP)TLC-APCI-MS methods, parameter such as limit ofdetection (LOD) was determined for selected marker compounds.Results:Our protocol enabled qualitative analyses of chemotaxonomic molecularmarkers in natural resins such as dammar, mastic, olibanum and benzoin. For the firsttime, the application of thionyl chloride-stannic chloride reagent for a specificpost-chromatographic detection of triterpenes is reported, sometimes even allowingdiscrimination between isomers based on their characteristic colour sequences. Fortriterpene acids, triterpene alcohols and phenolic compounds, detection limits of2–20 ng/TLC zone and a system precision with a relative standard deviation (RSD) inthe range of 3.9%–7.0% were achieved by (HP)TLC-APCI-MS. The applicability ofthe method for the analysis of resin-based varnishes was successfully tested on amastic-based varnish. Thus, the method we propose is a helpful tool for the discrimi-nation of resins and resin-based varnishes with respect to their botanical origin.

description: This preregistered study aimed to identify antecedents and consequences of adolescents' critical consciousness (CC) profiles with person-centered approaches based on data from 663 ethnically diverse German adolescents collected from 2017 to 2019 (Mage = 12.91, 50% male, 50% female). Latent profile analyses of adolescents' critical reflection and interpersonal and structural critical action intentions yielded three profiles: “uncritical,” “armchair activists,” and “actionists.” Discrimination experiences, but not CC classroom climate, predicted a higher likelihood of being in the armchair activist or actionist profiles. The actionist profile showed better, but the armchair activist profile worse socioemotional and academic adaptation cross-sectionally and over time (vs. the other profiles). The results highlight the potential of person-centered approaches and of fostering developmentally appropriate forms of critical action among adolescents in novel contexts.

description: Corporate social disclosure is essential to generate a favorable investment climate and to attract foreign investment, especially in developing countries. This paper investigates corporate social reporting in the financial sector in Bangladesh. In this study, we conducted content analysis of corporate social reporting by listed finance companies in Bangladesh. Analysis of annual reports published in 2007-2008 revealed that 41% of listed finance sector companies made some kind of CSR disclosure. However, three quarters of all disclosures are generalized qualitative statements without any attempt at quantification. More than half the disclosures are located in the director's report, and the average length of disclosures amounted to less than half a page. The implications of these findings are discussed.

Greening procurement: a research agenda for optimizing mass-haul during linear infrastructure construction
Creators: name: Kenley, Russell

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Infrastructure construction generates a significant amount of global economic activity. Much of infrastructure construction is government sponsored through a procurement process. Currently the ideals of sustainability are not embedded in these processes because methodologies to measure green house gas emissions produced during infrastructure construction are yet to be developed. Both government road and transport authorities and contractors require these tools. As a way forward, an agenda for preliminary research focusing on a special case is suggested. As mass-haul is known to produce high levels of greenhouse gas emission it would make an excellent construction activity to explore. If it is possible to optimize the amount of handling and movement of soil, aggregates, and rock around projects, then it is possible that green house gas emissions could also be measure and optimized. Therefore a three-pronged research agenda is proposed, centered on mass-haul activity, in order to develop prototype methodologies and tools for green procurement processes that contribute to sustainability of the built environment.
Can direct government assistance improve efficiency performance of manufacturing SMEs?

Year: 2024

description: This paper examines the impact of government assistance in the forms of credit at start-up, credit during operation and premisesland at start-up on efficiency performance of Vietnamese manufacturing SMEs. Analysing firm level data from surveys of manufacturing SMEs during the period 2002-2007, the paper finds that the impact of the above forms of government assistance on efficiency performance of domestic non-state SMEs is limited. There is no significant relationship or a negative relationship between government assistance in these forms and the technical efficiency of the manufacturing SMEs sector in aggregate. Meanwhile, the positive influence of the assistance is only observed in some sub-sectors. The results are discussed in details in the paper which also offers evidence-based policy recommendations.

These cultivars were assayed by molecular markers (RAPDs with 8 primers and SSRs on 8 loci) and analyzed in terms of genetic similarity. Cluster analysis based on Dice genetic similarity indices resulted in dendrograms using two types of data. The cultivar DNA profiles showed that there were no synonyms among the groups of cultivars tested. Cluster analysis did not point to any particular relationship among cultivars from different regions, although AMOVA analysis showed greater genetic similarity between Greek and Croatian cultivars in contrast to Turkish cultivars.

description: Objective: Participation is one of the key goals of re/habilitative processes. Since participation impacts adolescents' social–emotional development and overall health, this goal is particularly important for them. However, to date, no German-speaking self-assessment tool for participation among adolescents is available. This study sought therefore to develop such a tool and to test its psychometric properties. Methods: Based on a preliminary qualitative study, we developed 133 items for a pilot version of the Social Participation Inventory (SPI). The SPI assesses the objective dimension (i.e., attendance) and the subjective dimension (i.e., involvement and satisfaction) of participation. To test the psychometric properties of the SPI, we conducted a quantitative cross-sectional survey and applied the SPI to n = 151 adolescents with and without disabilities and/or chronic diseases. Results: By using principal component analyses, we examined the SPI's consistency and verified the theoretical considerations regarding the two components of participation (i.e., objective and subjective dimensions). Items that did not load sufficiently on components were removed after careful theoretical-based consideration. The condensed version of the SPI consists of 39 items that assess participation and 18 items to assess the perceived importance of respective areas of life. The SPI shows very good overall reliability (Cronbach's α = .920) and good validity. Conclusion: This study provides a new psychometrically tested participation self-assessment scale for adolescence with and without disabilities and/or chronic diseases. Further research is needed to re-evaluate its psychometric properties and to evaluate the application of the SPI in clinical and scientific contexts.

description: Somatic embryos and plants from immature anthers or ovaries were obtained from the Vitis vinifera cvs Sugraone, Crimson Seedless, Italia and Don Mariano. Explants were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (4, 7 or 10 μM) and 6-benzyladenine (0.7, 1 or 1.3 μM) for callus induction. Callus frequency depended on genotype, explant type and the culture medium used. Calli were transferred to half strength MS without growth regulators for embryo differentiation. The presence of activated charcoal (AC, 0.25 %) in this medium was essential to obtain somatic embryos in the case of Crimson Seedless, Italia and Don Mariano and to increase the frequency of embryogenic calli in Sugraone (from 5.8 % without AC to 99.5 % with AC). Ovaries and anthers showed different degrees of embryogenic competence. When somatic embryos were placed in a medium with indole-3-acetic acid (10 μM), gibberellic acid (1 μM) and 0.25 % AC, embryo germination was normal, i.e. embryos turned green, the hypocotyls and cotyledons started to grow and the apical root axis developed. The percentage of germinated embryos was 100 % for Sugraone and 27.5 %, 38.1 % and 54.5 % for Don Mariano, Italia and Crimson Seedless, respectively. When the germinated embryos were transferred to half strength MS medium in test tubes, 100 % of Crimson, Italia and Don Mariano and 68.3 % of Sugraone embryos developed into normal plants.

An examination of incentives in a not-for-profit organisation

Year: 2024

description: The purpose of this study is to ask whether it is appropriate to use a business sector approach to management in a Not-For-Profit (NFP) organization. In this case the use of an extrinsic reward, a cash bonus, to improve performance in a NFP that provides services to the disabled. Agency theory is seen as providing an explanation of motivation in the business sector however we argue that the different cultural and organisational conditions weaken the explanatory power of agency theory in the NFP sector. However, stewardship theory may provide a more complete explanation of motivation for third sector organizations. In pursuing this investigation, we were mindful of Brinberg's (2009) encouragement for a more outward-looking approach to management accounting issues and to allow practice to inform theory. A survey was given to staff of a NFP organisation to gauge the impact of the introduction of a bonus scheme. The staff were asked to respond to a number of statements that centred on the motivation of staff and the culture of the organisation. Staff were asked to the statements using a five point lickert scale. Analysis of survey data has shown that a stewardship theory best explains motivation of employees in the NFP sector. The introduction of a bonus scheme had little or no impact on staff behaviour -- staff camaraderie, the relationship of trust between management and staff, and the maintenance of an attitude of service to clients. This finding has important implications for the management of NFPs. To maintain and improve motivation, management needs to look to the goals or mission of the organisation -- in particular, to see that the goals include care of and service to clients. The originality and value of this paper stems from the fact that the data was gathered in a NFP organisation that had introduced an extrinsic reward system.

description: Twelve cultivars (Vitis vinifera L.) were subjected to RAPD analysis in order to estimate the genetic diversity among these genotypes and to analyse their genetic relationships. The study was performed using 28 primers that generated 120 polymorphic fragments. There was genetic variation among the cultivars with values of genetic diversity ranging from 0.419 to 0.642 using the Jaccard coefficient. UPGMA analysis of distance matrix resulted in a dendrogram with three clusters. The dendrogram shows that the cultivars of our study can be distinguished to a relatively high degree. Results were compared with the taxonomic classification and with the synonyms of the cultivars. The RAPD technique was useful for identification and discrimination of these grape cultivars.

description: Twelve native Vitis vinifera L. cultivars of Cyprus were genotyped at 11 highly polymorphic microsatellite markers. The obtained microsatellite allelic profiles allowed precise identification and discrimination of all tested cultivars. Each cultivar had a unique allelic profile. The low PI value (5.1 x 10-9) demonstrated the high descriptive power of the chosen markers for the investigated set of grapevines. Three cases of synonymy of Cyprus cultivars with cultivars grown in other countries under different names were verified: (1) Cyprus Malaga and Muscat of Alexandria, (2) Cyprus Lefkas and Greek Verdzami, and (3) Cyprus Moscato, Bulgarian Tamyanka and Italian Moscato Bianco. The homonymy of Cyprus Sideritis and Greek Sideritis as well as of Cyprus Mavro and Bulgarian Mavrud was shown not to rely on genetic similarity.

Performance and motivation in a not-for-profit organization: an examination of stewardship theory
Creators: name: Kluvers, Ron
Publisher: name: Swinburne

description: The aim of this study is to understand the ability of stewardship theory, as compared with agency theory, to explain motivation of staff in Not-for-Profit (NFP) organisations. Agency theory is seen as providing an explanation of motivation in the business sector however the different cultural and organisational conditions weaken the explanatory power of agency theory in the NFP sector. The interviews sought to answer question: what is the main source of motivation in the organisation? Analysis of interview data has shown that a stewardship theory framework best explains motivation of employees in the NFP sector.

Project and production management intersection: life-cycle analysis of on-site and off-site construction

description: The purpose of this paper is to provide an argument for moving beyond calls for increased construction industry productivity based on the perceived differences between construction projects and manufacture production. Traditionally scholars have claimed that the lack of increased construction industry productivity is attributable to the differences between on-site work and off-site work. However, in 2011 project processes and product outcomes are essential to both. As management theories have become integrated into practice in both industries, the management of both a unique project and product-production have converged. At the same time, almost all construction today utilises both on-site and off-site processes. Therefore, the driver for increased off-site manufacture to ensure increased industry productivity must be reconsidered. One way forward would be to consider issues related to reducing the environmental impacts of construction. That is the aim of this discussion paper. Many researchers have identified difficulties with communication between on-site and off-site production. However, if the focus of productivity gains shifts to measuring environmental impact, based on a Life-Cycle Analysis (LCA), then both the tangible and intangible effects of both on-site and off-site work can be compared. Thus, over-coming identified difficulties with a comon language based on LCA could enable co-operative on and off site production. This co-operation could in turn to lead to increased industry productivity. The paper ends by providing a LCA focused research agenda to provide evidence for reconsidering the claim that increasing off-site manufacture will increase construction industry productivity.

description: The Big Naryn Complex (BNC) in the East Djetim-Too Range of the Kyrgyz Middle Tianshan block is a tectonized, at least 2 km thick sequence of predominantly felsic to intermediate volcanic rocks intruded by porphyric rhyolite sills. It overlies a basement of metamorphic rocks and is overlain by late Neoproterozoic Djetim-Too Formation sediments; these also occur as tectonic intercalations in the BNC. The up to ca. 1100 m thick Lower Member is composed of predominantly rhyolites-to-dacites and minor basalts, while the at least 900 m thick pyroclastic Upper Member is dominated by rhyolitic-to-dacitic ignimbrites. Porphyric rhyolite sills are concentrated at the top of the Lower Member. A Lower Member rhyolite and a sill sample have LA-ICP-MS U-Pb zircon crystallization ages of 726.1 +/- 2.2 Ma and 720.3 +/- 6.5 Ma, respectively, showing that most of the magmatism occurred within a short time span in the late Tonian-early Cryogenian. Inherited zircons in the sill sample have Neoarchean (2.63, 2.64 Ga), Paleo- (2.33-1.81 Ga), Meso- (1.55 Ga), and Neoproterozoic (ca. 815 Ma) ages, and were derived from a heterogeneous Kuilyu Complex basement. A 1751 +/- 7 Ma Ar-40/Ar-39 age for amphibole from metagabbro is the age of cooling subsequent to Paleoproterozoic metamorphism of the Kuilyu Complex. The large amount of pyroclastic rocks, and their major and trace element compositions, the presence of Neoarchean to Neoproterozoic inherited zircons and a depositional basement of metamorphic rocks point to formation of the BNC in a continental magmatic arc setting.
