Reducing the harmful influence of workplace aggression : an integrative review, a meta-analysis, and an empirical study
Creators: name: Zhong, Rui
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Workplace aggression is a prevalent and costly issue in the organization. As such, it is imperative to find ways to reduce the harmful influence of experienced workplace aggression on target employees. This dissertation comprises three studies that aim to address this issue. The first study is a narrative review that summarizes existing research on moderators of the harmful effects of workplace aggression on employees. This study identifies five broad perspectives in existing research: resource-depletion, social-relational, appraisal, self-regulation, and social-influence perspectives. This study also summarizes previous findings organized around three categories of individual moderators—trait-based, intrapersonal, and coping-based—and three categories of contextual moderators—collective, interpersonal, and job-based. The second study is a cross-cultural meta-analytic investigation of mediating mechanisms linking workplace aggression to job performance, including social exchange, justice, emotional, stress, and self-evaluation mechanisms. This study reveals the incremental effects of each mediating mechanism over and above other mechanisms, compares their effects in mediating the impact of workplace aggression on each performance outcome, and examines their cross-cultural differences. The third study shifts the focus to reducing the harm of workplace aggression at the team level by examining how leader-targeted negative team gossip—as a critical social coping behavior—buffers the detrimental team consequences of abusive supervision climate. Findings from a field study of 111 work teams show that leader-targeted negative team gossip weakens 1) the indirect negative relationship between abusive supervision climate and team performance through team aggressive behavior and 2) the indirect positive relationship between abusive supervision climate and team voluntary turnover through team affective trust. Together, this dissertation offers integrative and novel insights into reducing the harmful influence of workplace aggression.

description: A new epidithiodiketopiperazine (ETP), pretrichodermamide G (1), along with three known (epi)dithiodiketopiparazines (2-4) were isolated from cultures of Trichoderma harzianum and Epicoccum nigrum, endophytic fungi associated with medicinal plants Zingiber officinale and Salix sp., respectively. The structure of the new compound (1) was established on the basis of spectroscopic data, including 1D/2D NMR and HRESIMS. The isolated compounds were investigated for their antifungal, antibacterial and cytotoxic potential against a panel of microorganisms and cell lines. Pretrichodermamide A (2) displayed antimicrobial activity towards the plant pathogenic fungus Ustilago maydis and the human pathogenic bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis with MIC values of 1 mg/mL (2 mM) and 25 µg/mL (50 µM), respectively. Meanwhile, epicorazine A (3) exhibited strong to moderate cytotoxicity against L5178Y, Ramos, and Jurkat J16 cell lines with IC50 values ranging from 1.3 to 28 µM. Further mechanistic studies indicated that 3 induces apoptotic cell death.

description: Assuming an effective gravitational action with scale dependent coupling constants, a consistency condition for the local form of the cut-off scale is derived. The approach is applied to homogeneous cosmology and running couplings with an ultraviolet fixed point. Within the given approach this allows to derive bounds on the value of the fixed point.

description: The proposed work, aims to provide a “green” and cutting-edge technique for the mordanting and dyeing of polyester fabric with natural henna dye using the advanced technology of micro waves. For providing a complete “green” and ecofriendly dyeing process, lemon was used as a natural bio mordant with micro waves and results were compared with conventional mordanting method followed by the natural henna dyeing of polyester fabric with microwave. Color properties were analyzed in detail. Scanning electron microscope (SEM), WIDE ANGLE X-RAY DIFFRACTION (WAXD) and Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (ATR-FTIR) studies provide the details of surface and structural changes induced by microwave lemon mordanting and henna dyeing of polyester. Microwave technique clearly reduced the mordanting and dyeing time upto 60–65% with improved fixation and color characteristics.

description: Severe COVID-19 is linked to both dysfunctional immune response and unrestrained immunopathology, and it remains unclear whether T cells contribute to disease pathology. Here, we combined single-cell transcriptomics and single-cell proteomics with mechanistic studies to assess pathogenic T cell functions and inducing signals. We identified highly activated CD16+ T cells with increased cytotoxic functions in severe COVID-19. CD16 expression enabled immune-complex-mediated, T cell receptor-independent degranulation and cytotoxicity not found in other diseases. CD16+ T cells from COVID-19 patients promoted microvascular endothelial cell injury and release of neutrophil and monocyte chemoattractants. CD16+ T cell clones persisted beyond acute disease maintaining their cytotoxic phenotype. Increased generation of C3a in severe COVID-19 induced activated CD16+ cytotoxic T cells. Proportions of activated CD16+ T cells and plasma levels of complement proteins upstream of C3a were associated with fatal outcome of COVID-19, supporting a pathological role of exacerbated cytotoxicity and complement activation in COVID-19.

description: Bootstrap percolation models have been extensively studied during the two past decades. In this article, we study the following "anisotropic" bootstrap percolation model: the neighborhood of a point (m,n) is the set \[\{(m+2,n),(m+1,n),(m,n+1),(m-1,n),(m-2,n),(m,n-1)\}.\] At time 0, sites are occupied with probability p. At each time step, sites that are occupied remain occupied, while sites that are not occupied become occupied if and only if three of more sites in their neighborhood are occupied. We prove that it exhibits a sharp metastability threshold. This is the first mathematical proof of a sharp threshold for an anisotropic bootstrap percolation model.

Covariant derivative of the curvature tensor of pseudo-Kählerian manifolds

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Differential Geometry (math.DG)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: It is well known that the curvature tensor of a pseudo-Riemannian manifold can be decomposed with respect to the pseudo-orthogonal group into the sum of the Weyl conformal curvature tensor, the traceless part of the Ricci tensor and of the scalar curvature. A similar decomposition with respect to the pseudo-unitary group exists on a pseudo-Kählerian manifold; instead of the Weyl tensor one obtains the Bochner tensor. In the present paper, the known decomposition with respect to the pseudo-orthogonal group of the covariant derivative of the curvature tensor of a pseudo-Riemannian manifold is refined. A decomposition with respect to the pseudo-unitary group of the covariant derivative of the curvature tensor for pseudo-Kählerian manifolds is obtained. This defines natural classes of spaces generalizing locally symmetric spaces and Einstein spaces. It is shown that the values of the covariant derivative of the curvature tensor for a non-locally symmetric pseudo-Riemannian manifold with an irreducible connected holonomy group different from the pseudo-orthogonal and pseudo-unitary groups belong to an irreducible module of the holonomy group.

description: BackgroundUnderstanding the influence of genetic variants on DNA methylation is fundamental for the interpretation of epigenomic data in the context of disease. There is a need for systematic approaches not only for determining methylation quantitative trait loci (methQTL), but also for discriminating general from cell type-specific effects.ResultsHere, we present a two-step computational framework MAGAR ( https://bioconductor.org/packages/MAGAR ), which fully supports the identification of methQTLs from matched genotyping and DNA methylation data, and additionally allows for illuminating cell type-specific methQTL effects. In a pilot analysis, we apply MAGAR on data in four tissues (ileum, rectum, T cells, B cells) from healthy individuals and demonstrate the discrimination of common from cell type-specific methQTLs. We experimentally validate both types of methQTLs in an independent data set comprising additional cell types and tissues. Finally, we validate selected methQTLs located in the PON1, ZNF155, and NRG2 genes by ultra-deep local sequencing. In line with previous reports, we find cell type-specific methQTLs to be preferentially located in enhancer elements.ConclusionsOur analysis demonstrates that a systematic analysis of methQTLs provides important new insights on the influences of genetic variants to cell type-specific epigenomic variation.

The impacts of land-use change on the provision of ecosystem services in Zambia
Creators: name: Liang, Diling
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Ecosystems are important in ensuring human well-being, and ecosystem services significantly impact human survival and quality of life. Human activities are changing ecosystems and then affecting ecosystem services. The research related to ecosystem services assessment has been relatively well conducted in Europe, North America, and Asia. However, there is less research work in Africa, especially central and west Africa, although the forest system provides a wide range of goods and services to human populations locally. This thesis investigated and compared how ecosystem services changed between a protected area (Kafue National Park) (KNP) and an agricultural landscape (Kalomo district) in Zambia from 2000 to 2020. A mixed methodological approach was applied in this thesis. I collected information on carbon stocks and the Trumpeter hornbill in both landscapes through a literature review and interviews. I applied the InVEST models and ArcGIS to assess, map and visually display a regulating service (carbon storage) and a supporting service (habitat quality). The results indicated: 1. KNP was protected well during the research period, but the Kalomo district experienced dramatic land conversion. 2. The volumes of carbon storage increased in KNP but decreased in the Kalomo, and the Trumpeter hornbill’s habitat quality has been improved in KNP but degraded in the Kalomo. 3. There is a relatively strong consistency between carbon stock and forest habitat quality in both landscapes. I concluded that land-use change is the primary driver of the change in ecosystem services. I discussed the importance and implications of ecosystem services maps as valuable tools for sustainable decision-making, guiding decision-makers in the design of future land management strategies and policies.

description: Decidual remodelling of midluteal endometrium leads to a short implantation window after which the uterine mucosa either breaks down or is transformed into a robust matrix that accommodates the placenta throughout pregnancy. To gain insights into the underlying mechanisms, we established and characterized endometrial assembloids, consisting of gland-like organoids and primary stromal cells. Single-cell transcriptomics revealed that decidualized assembloids closely resemble midluteal endometrium, harbouring differentiated and senescent subpopulations in both glands and stroma. We show that acute senescence in glandular epithelium drives secretion of multiple canonical implantation factors, whereas in the stroma it calibrates the emergence of anti-inflammatory decidual cells and pro-inflammatory senescent decidual cells. Pharmacological inhibition of stress responses in pre-decidual cells accelerated decidualization by eliminating the emergence of senescent decidual cells. In co-culture experiments, accelerated decidualization resulted in entrapment of collapsed human blastocysts in a robust, static decidual matrix. By contrast, the presence of senescent decidual cells created a dynamic implantation environment, enabling embryo expansion and attachment, although their persistence led to gradual disintegration of assembloids. Our findings suggest that decidual senescence controls endometrial fate decisions at implantation and highlight how endometrial assembloids may accelerate the discovery of new treatments to prevent reproductive failure.

description: We first establish a simple procedure to obtain with 11-figure accuracy the values of Chandrasekhar's H-function for isotropic scattering using a closed-form integral representation and the Gauss-Legendre quadrature. Based on the numerical values of the function produced by this method for various values of the single scattering albedo and the cosine of the azimuth angle of the direction of radiation emergent from or incident upon a semi-infinite scattering-absorbing medium, we propose a rational approximation formula, which allows us to reproduce the correct values of the H-function within a relative error of 2.1/100000 without recourse to any iterative procedure or root-finding process.

description: The generalized second law can be used to prove a singularity theorem, by generalizing the notion of a trapped surface to quantum situations. Like Penrose's original singularity theorem, it implies that spacetime is null geodesically incomplete inside black holes, and to the past of spatially infinite Friedmann--Robertson--Walker cosmologies. If space is finite instead, the generalized second law requires that there only be a finite amount of entropy producing processes in the past, unless there is a reversal of the arrow of time. In asymptotically flat spacetime, the generalized second law also rules out traversable wormholes, negative masses, and other forms of faster-than-light travel between asymptotic regions, as well as closed timelike curves. Furthermore it is impossible to form baby universes which eventually become independent of the mother universe, or to restart inflation. Since the semiclassical approximation is used only in regions with low curvature, it is argued that the results may hold in full quantum gravity. An introductory section describes the second law and its time-reverse, in ordinary and generalized thermodynamics, using either the fine-grained or the coarse-grained entropy. (The fine-grained version is used in all results except those relating to the arrow of time.) A proof of the coarse-grained ordinary second law is given.

description: A new epidithiodiketopiperazine (ETP), pretrichodermamide G (1), along with three known (epi)dithiodiketopiparazines (2-4) were isolated from cultures of Trichoderma harzianum and Epicoccum nigrum, endophytic fungi associated with medicinal plants Zingiber officinale and Salix sp., respectively. The structure of the new compound (1) was established on the basis of spectroscopic data, including 1D/2D NMR and HRESIMS. The isolated compounds were investigated for their antifungal, antibacterial and cytotoxic potential against a panel of microorganisms and cell lines. Pretrichodermamide A (2) displayed antimicrobial activity towards the plant pathogenic fungus Ustilago maydis and the human pathogenic bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis with MIC values of 1 mg/mL (2 mM) and 25 µg/mL (50 µM), respectively. Meanwhile, epicorazine A (3) exhibited strong to moderate cytotoxicity against L5178Y, Ramos, and Jurkat J16 cell lines with IC50 values ranging from 1.3 to 28 µM. Further mechanistic studies indicated that 3 induces apoptotic cell death.

description: Abstract: Recent work has established a framework for explaining the origin of cognitive novelties—qualitatively distinct cognitive traits—in human beings. This niche construction approach argues that humans engineer epistemic environments in ways that facilitate the ontogenetic and phylogenetic development of such novelties. I here argue that attention to the organized relations between content-carrying informational vehicles, or informational form, is key to a valuable explanatory strategy within this project, what I call structural-causal explanations. Drawing on recent work from Cecilia Heyes, and developing a case study around a novel mathematical capacity, I demonstrate how structural-causal explanations can contribute to the niche construction approach by underwriting the application of explanatory tools and generating new empirical targets.

description: In 1960, the mathematician Ernst Specker described a simple example of nonclassical correlations which he dramatized using a parable about a seer who sets an impossible prediction task to his daughter's suitors. We revisit this example here, using it as an entree to three central concepts in quantum foundations: contextuality, Bell-nonlocality, and complementarity. Specifically, we show that Specker's parable offers a narrative thread that weaves together a large number of results, including: the impossibility of measurement-noncontextual and outcome-deterministic ontological models of quantum theory (the Kochen-Specker theorem), in particular the proof of Klyachko; the impossibility of Bell-local models of quantum theory (Bell's theorem), especially the proofs by Mermin and Hardy; the impossibility of a preparation-noncontextual ontological model of quantum theory; and the existence of triples of positive operator valued measures (POVMs) that can be measured jointly pairwise but not triplewise. Along the way, several novel results are presented, including: a generalization of a theorem by Fine connecting the existence of a joint distribution over outcomes of counterfactual measurements to the existence of a noncontextual model; a generalization of Klyachko's proof of the Kochen-Specker theorem; a proof of the Kochen-Specker theorem in the style of Hardy's proof of Bell's theorem; a categorization of contextual and Bell-nonlocal correlations in terms of frustrated networks; a new inequality testing preparation noncontextuality; and lastly, some results on the joint measurability of POVMs and the question of whether these can be modeled noncontextually. Finally, we emphasize that Specker's parable provides a novel type of foil to quantum theory, challenging us to explain why the particular sort of contextuality and complementarity embodied therein does not arise in a quantum world.

description: Abstract: Postmortem studies have revealed increased density of excitatory synapses in the brains of individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), with a putative link to aberrant mTOR-dependent synaptic pruning. ASD is also characterized by atypical macroscale functional connectivity as measured with resting-state fMRI (rsfMRI). These observations raise the question of whether excess of synapses causes aberrant functional connectivity in ASD. Using rsfMRI, electrophysiology and in silico modelling in Tsc2 haploinsufficient mice, we show that mTOR-dependent increased spine density is associated with ASD -like stereotypies and cortico-striatal hyperconnectivity. These deficits are completely rescued by pharmacological inhibition of mTOR. Notably, we further demonstrate that children with idiopathic ASD exhibit analogous cortical-striatal hyperconnectivity, and document that this connectivity fingerprint is enriched for ASD-dysregulated genes interacting with mTOR or Tsc2. Finally, we show that the identified transcriptomic signature is predominantly expressed in a subset of children with autism, thereby defining a segregable autism subtype. Our findings causally link mTOR-related synaptic pathology to large-scale network aberrations, revealing a unifying multi-scale framework that mechanistically reconciles developmental synaptopathy and functional hyperconnectivity in autism.
Stealing Narnia from C. S. Lewis : using a phenomenology of overflow towards a practice of fantasy reading as salvage
Creators: name: DaSilva, Julia
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: A widely-discussed experience of encountering C. S. Lewis’ Chronicles of Narnia is one of betrayal: a sense that his conservative framework contradicts a genuinely liberatory potential the books themselves offer. The prevalence of this contradictory experience suggests that the world of Lewis’ fantasies exists in a state of overflow: Narnia is uncontainable by the conscious system-building of its author or the systems defining its broader conditions of production. Dominant radical frameworks for reading fantasy, rooted in materialist traditions, have difficulty accounting for the significance of this overflow; they tend to locate the conservatism of mainstream fantasy in its religious thought-mode, which is understood as clouding the cognitive relationship between thought and action that radical action requires. This thesis articulates a complementary engagement with fantasy’s extra-rational impulses, re-considering the relationship between the and the political life that emerges from it: one in which the experience of reading fantasy is understood less as one of being directed by the political framework of a secondary world than of salvaging from the possibilities that encounters with magic open up. Employing a primarily phenomenological method, and drawing on anarchist critiques of Marxist conceptions of subjective transformation, it traces how a central phenomenon of “overflow” is produced, closed down, and followed in four fantasy texts, concluding that genuine enchantment “bears” the anarchic salvage work of the potentially-radical reader. The first chapter considers how C. S. Lewis’ The Last Battle cultivates a quality of attention that produces a surplus of meanings, and makes an apocalyptic attempt to channel that overflow. The second, using Philip Pullman’s anti-Lewisian The Amber Spyglass, introduces a theoretical framework for overflow as the experience of paradoxical indeterminate future commitment contained in an absolute presence. A third considers more closely power and narrative coercion, arguing that Ursula K. Le Guin’s The Farthest Shore, following the overflow it produces, invites the “work” of being “taken in,” or taking seriously one’s attachments. A final chapter uses N. K. Jemisin’s The Shadowed Sun to examine how enchantment’s overflow, illuminating otherwise-irreducible “units” of political transformation, the detachment that makes it possible to salvage what is necessary for transformation.

Next year the UAE will celebrate the fortieth anniversary since the inception of its armed forces. That 1976 is recognized as the birth year of the military rather than the date of the establishment of the union on 2 December 1971 is a reminder that the seven Emirates sought even closer integration after agreeing on political federation. A national military under a single command is a powerful symbol of a state's sovereignty; the assimilation of separate forces in 1976 thus represents an important moment in the political history of the UAE. The efficacy of the UAE Armed Forces today - an organization engaged in multiple overseas operations - owes much to leadership displayed by the Supreme Council of Rulers in 1976 when they decided to combine military resources.
