The Challenges of Global Talent Management. How does the football industry overcome the GTM challenges and how can their experiences inspire MNCs operating in knowledge-intensive industries?

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

The personnel of MNCs is becoming increasingly important for a firm's success. At the same\ntime the competition for the best or highly skilled employees, also referred as talents, are\nincreasing for several reasons, such as globalisation and demographic changes. This\ncompetitive environment requires a more specific set of IHRM activities compared to\ntraditional IHRM, which deals more deeply with issues like attracting, developing and\nretaining talents. This particular subset of IHRM activities is called Global Talent\nManagement. However, many managers lack the knowledge about how to address these\nchallenges. Looking at previous studies, there is a lack of clear suggestions on methods used\nto overcome GTM challenges. To find inspiration of efficient GTM, we have through a case\nstudy investigated into the football industry which is a less traditional industry, but yet it is an\nindustry with a long presence and with a significant global reach. Moreover, it is an industry\naware of the importance of their talents and where the competition for the best talent always\nhas been present. Our research shows that the football industry does, in fact, have some\nmethods to overcome the GTM challenges, which could be of inspiration for MNCs operating\nin the knowledge-intensive industry. Examples of learnings include split management roles\nand more customised development plans. Another key finding is that retention is not of as\nhigh importance as attraction and development.

Multiple Imputation Methods for Latent Profile Analysis in Education and the Behavioral Sciences

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Researchers in education and the behavioral sciences are increasingly conducting latent profile analysis by focusing investigations on subpopulations of individuals to describe individual differences with greater nuance. At the same time, missing data is practically inevitable, and even modest missingness rates can threaten the validity of inferences. Multiple imputation is a powerful strategy to treat missing data, but it suffers from key limitations in both the imputation and pooling phases when conducting latent profile analysis. In this dissertation, I conduct three studies to address these gaps. In the first study (Chapter 2), I evaluate whether recursive partitioning imputation algorithms better mitigate nonresponse bias than alternative missing data approaches that are common in practice. I find that recursive partitioning imputation algorithms perform well when sample sizes are large (N = 1,200), but not when sample sizes are small (N = 300) or when class separation is weak (i.e., entropy ≈ .74). In response, I propose a hybrid imputation procedure in the second study (Chapter 3); the proposed method embeds a finite mixture model to generate imputations using a joint modeling framework within a larger chained equations procedure. I demonstrate the hybrid imputation procedure using real-world data. In the final study (Chapter 4), I scrutinize current practices for conducting finite mixture model selection with missing data. I am not aware of any studies evaluating whether model selection decisions are sensitive to real-world missing data problems. I fill this gap in research by studying whether selection decisions are sensitive to missing data if either a full information maximum likelihood (FIML) or a multiple imputation strategy is employed. Two findings emerge. First, with regards to FIML, the BIC under extracts the true number of classes relative to the complete data condition in the presence of small sample sizes and small classes. Second, with regards to multiple imputation, current practices for pooling information criteria result in model selection decisions that poorly replicate the decisions that would have been made had the data been complete. I propose two remedial procedures for future practice, and, using simulations, I show that these two procedures outperform current practices.
BONE REMODELLING MODELS. APPLICATION TO A RESURFACED PROSTHESIS

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Hip Resurfacing (HR) is nowadays widely used as an alternative to Total Hip Replacement (THR), especially for the young and active patients. Because of the more physiological distribution of the load in the femur, this technique is particularly known to reduce bone loss due to stress shielding behaviour, a major problem encountered with THA. Different computational studies have analysed the performance of HR prostheses. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to apply a computational approach, in fact a bone remodelling analysis, in order to investigate its application to evaluate the bone structure changes postoperatively. A Finite Element model was developed of a femur with HR prosthesis. The model was reconstructed starting with the femur medical images, and then the prosthesis was positioned in the clinical implantation angle (5° valgus). A cement mantle thickness of 1mm was included. Then a Finite Element Analysis in combination with a bone remodelling model (bone material properties) was performed. The results obtained predict as there is a certain bone loss in the superolateral and inferior medial zone. Additional bone material apposition is locally found with the aim of fixing the implant stem on the medial side, but also a remarkable distal ingrowth around the stem tip. All these findings are in good qualitative agreement with clinical observations. We conclude that the numerical simulation used in this study is a useful tool in predicting bone remodelling inside a cemented HR prosthesis. This kind of methodologies will help on the design of devices, surgical techniques, etc.

A Decentralized Information Governance Framework for Implementing Blockchain in Healthcare: An Exploratory Analysis

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Blockchain was projected to revolutionize health information management and inter-organizational collaboration. In practice, its transformative impact has been limited. Using a three-layer theory, this study adopts critical interpretive synthesis technique and case analysis to examine the impact of blockchain on the healthcare value chain, ultimately proposing an information governance (IG) framework for healthcare blockchain. Our analysis suggests that blockchain has introduced a paradigm shift in the healthcare value chain, such as empowering patients in care and data monetization, extending the traditional value chain, and facilitating distributed connections between stakeholders. Effective IG is crucial to unleashing the value of information and transforming the healthcare ecosystem. Healthcare's IG peculiarity necessitates a mix of individual and institutional accountability and an extending of reliance on the trusted third party. We advocate for an IG framework focusing on sustaining institutional trust anchors, enabling a mix of individual autonomy and negotiated institutional responsibility, and ensuring ethical compliance.
Medicine in the People's Republic of China. A progress report

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

In the Dec 6, 1971, issue ofThe Journal(218:1552-1563), I reported to the profession about medical practice and medical education in the People's Republic of China as I observed it in September 1971. In September 1972 I was again in China as a guest of the Chinese Medical Association. The purpose of this note is to record and update the information. In this present trip I especially asked about the new medical education three-year program, the progress in basic science analysis of acupuncture, and for examples of the successful use of Chinese herbs in organic disease states. Again, as I identified in my previous report, my only claim to usefulness in this role is one of objectivity. I have no ax to grind. Time will verify the accuracy or inaccuracy; my intent is to state clearly my own professional observation and urge my colleagues to be receptive to ideas
Green buildings in tropical countries (commercial buildings)

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Energy consumption in buildings has been increasing over the years. Lighting and airconditioning are identified as the two most significant contributors to the energy consumption of a building. Thus, a reduction of energy consumption can be achieved by utilizing natural light and natural ventilation. The project focuses on buildings in tropical countries with hot and humid environment. The use of daylighting and natural ventilation on a proposed sustainable building will be the highlight of the study. In connection with this, the report presents the analyses of different existing structural elements and orientation that contribute to the construction of a green building, through four case studies. Chosen structural elements (such as wall systems, facades, building envelope and shape of the building) will be compared and adapted into the proposed sustainable building.

Domain structure of the glucocorticoid receptor protein.

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

The purified rat liver glucocorticoid receptor protein was analyzed by limited proteolysis and amino acid sequence determination. The NH2 terminus appears to be blocked. The steroid-binding domain, defined by a unique tryptic cleavage site, corresponds to the COOH-terminal part of the protein with the domain border in the region of residue 518. The DNA-binding domain, defined by a region with chymotryptic cleavage sites, is immediately adjacent to the steroid-binding domain and reflects another domain border in the region of residues 410-414. The results described at the protein level in this report confirm functional data previously obtained by mutations at the genetic level.
A note on $α$-permanent and loop soup

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

In this paper, it is shown that $α$-permanent in algebra is closely related to loop soup in probability. We give explicit expansions of $α$-permanents of the block matrices obtained from matrices associated to $*$-forests, which are a special class of matrices containing tridiagonal matrices. It is proved in two ways, one is the direct combinatorial proof, and the other is the probabilistic proof via loop soup.
Abstract P256: Epigenetic Changes by Nuclear Calcium/Calmodulin-Dependent Protein Kinase II in the Heart

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Calcium is central in the regulation of many cellular functions and alteration of calcium signaling leads to a variety of cardiac disorders. An important question remaining in cardiac biology is how calcium-dependent mechanisms are regulated and more specifically how calcium activates intracellular signaling pathways and regulates gene activity in the cell nucleus. The nuclear isoform of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKIIB) plays a protective role in the heart under basal conditions, and alteration of its level or activity is associated with pathological events such as cell death and cardiac hypertrophy. We recently made a novel discovery showing that CaMKIIδB couples calcium signals to the genome by targeting specific histones in chromatin. Our preliminary results show that CaMKIIδB selectively phosphorylates histone H3 in vitro and in primary cardiomyocytes. Activation of CaMK activity after α-adrenergic stimulation of primary cardiac cells increases histone H3 phosphorylation at serine 10 (Ser-10), whereas specific elimination of the kinase has the opposite effect. Enhanced phosphorylation of histone H3 Ser-10 is observed in primary fibroblasts and also in primary ventricular myocytes and culminates at 24 hours of stimulation, suggesting that signaling to histone H3 is not limited to highly dividing cells and is not transient. Importantly, Enhanced histone H3 Ser-10 phosphorylation can be detected in the heart of mice subjected to myocardial infarction. These results reveal a new role for CaMK enzymes in chromatin remodeling the heart and that epigenetic changes may contribute to the development cardiac diseases.
Experimental simulation of lightning optical emissions in clouds

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

The objective of the study is to experimentally determine the information content of lightning optical emissions through clouds. Clouds affect the amplitude of lightning signals and the apparent dimensions of the optical source. Multiple scattering from the cloud media also alters the shape of the temporal profile of the lightning signal. The goal is to provide accurate estimates of the arrival time delay and temporal pulse width broadening of output signals emitted from clouds for different cloud and lightning parameters. Experiments conducted in the laboratory yield a temporally broadened pulse with an overall decrease in the peak and a delay in the pulse rise time. Parameters such as optical thickness of the cloud medium and the scattering coefficients are varied to simulate different cloud properties. The experimental results are compared with a transient radiative transfer formulation solved using the discrete ordinate method. The practical implications of this research will be improved reliability on prediction of weather conditions, defence applications and geophysical applications like atmospheric studies.
Combination of Pineapple and Okra on Chemical and Sensory Characteristics of Fruit Leather

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The purpose of this research was to get the best combination of pineapple and okra on chemical and sensory characteristics of fruit leather. This research was conducted experimentally by using a complete randomized design (CRD) which consist of four treatments and four replicates. The treatments were ratios of pineapple and okra pulp, such as NO1 (50:50), NO2 (60:40), NO3 (70:30), and NO4 (80:20). Data obtained were statistically analyzed by using Analysis of Variance and continued with Duncan’s New Multiple Range test at 5% level. The results showed that the ratio of pineapple and okra pulp significantly affected moisture content, ash content, pH, fiber content, dissolved total solid, sensory test on color, flavor, taste, and texture of the fruit leather. The best treatment in this research was NO4 (80:20) with 6.07% moisture content, 0.70% ash content, 4.4 pH, 4.75% fiber content, and 56.04 brix total solid. The results of descriptive test showed that the fruit leather had brown color (3.1), pineapple scented (3.67), pineapple taste (3.57), little chewy texture (2.67) and overall assessment hedonically was favored by panelists (3.78).
New approaches to production-worthy 193-nm photoresists based on acrylic copolymers

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

We describe a series of improvements to the `v2' etch- resistant methacrylate 193 nm photoresist platform. `V2' itself possesses many desirable characteristics, but requires weak developers and lacks ultimate etch resistance for production processes. Modifications to address these challenges include incorporation of polar modifier monomers which provide improved developer compatibility, and use of alternative etch-resistant monomers which ameliorate the excessive hydrophobicity of isobornyl methacrylate. Specifically, we explore the use of methacrylonitrile as a polar modifier which simultaneously imparts strong-developer compatibility and improves RIE performance. Integration of these improvements results in methacrylate resists displaying strong-developer compatibility, sub-0.15 micrometers resolution, and etch rates equivalent to current 248 nm photoresists in prototype materials.
Training Neural Networks in Single vs Double Precision

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

The commitment to single-precision floating-point arithmetic is widespread in the deep learning community. To evaluate whether this commitment is justified, the influence of computing precision (single and double precision) on the optimization performance of the Conjugate Gradient (CG) method (a second-order optimization algorithm) and RMSprop (a first-order algorithm) has been investigated. Tests of neural networks with one to five fully connected hidden layers and moderate or strong nonlinearity with up to 4 million network parameters have been optimized for Mean Square Error (MSE). The training tasks have been set up so that their MSE minimum was known to be zero. Computing experiments have disclosed that single-precision can keep up (with superlinear convergence) with double-precision as long as line search finds an improvement. First-order methods such as RMSprop do not benefit from double precision. However, for moderately nonlinear tasks, CG is clearly superior. For strongly nonlinear tasks, both algorithm classes find only solutions fairly poor in terms of mean square error as related to the output variance. CG with double floating-point precision is superior whenever the solutions have the potential to be useful for the application goal.

The effects of stressor predictability on lymphocyte proliferation in humans

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Abstract Abstract To demonstrate the effects of predictable and unpredictable stressors on immune function, 36 male subjects were randomly assigned to complete ten trials of either a predictable or unpredictable cold pressor task or a non-stressful warm pressor control task. The predictable and no-stressor groups were given information about the duration of each pressor trial and a countdown of seconds passed from beginning to end of each trial. The unpredictable stressor group received no information. Self-report, cardiovascular, and biochemical measures were taken throughout the tasks in order to ascertain the effectiveness of the predictability and stressor manipulations. Lymphocyte proliferation to concanavalin A (Con A) and pokeweed mitogen (PWM) were measured before, during and after the tasks. Lymphocyte proliferation to Con A (10/μg/ml) was significantly reduced only in response to the unpredictable stressor suggesting that predictability buffered the effect of the stressor on immune function. Proliferation to PWM followed a similar pattern but was not statistically significant. Blood pressure responses were negatively correlated with proliferation values suggesting that stressor predictability may attenuate stress-associated immune decreases by reducing sympathetic arousal. Key Words: StressPredictabilityReactivityimmune function.

[The surgical treatment of urogenital fistulae of obstetrico-gynecologic origin].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Ninety-two patients with urogenital fistulas of obstetric-gynecological origin have been treated at the Department of Urology of the Medical Academy in Sofia for a period of 14 1/2 years. Eighty seven women (94.6 per cent) were operated, with a total of 97 operations being performed. Thirty two of 34 patients with ureterovaginal fistula were operated (94.1 per cent). The following operative interventions were performed: 1 definitive nephrostomy, 5 temporary relieving nephrostomies, 4 nephrectomies and 27 reconstructive ureteral operations. Of 51 patients with vesicovaginal fistulas, 48 were operated (94.1 per cent). The following operations were performed: 4 supravesicular derivations of the urine, 21 transvaginal fistulorrhaphies, 16 transvesical suturings of the fistula, 11 transperitoneal and 1 transperitoneal-transvesical fistulorrhaphies. Seven women with ureterovaginal fistulas were operated transvaginally. The time elapses from the appearance of the fistula to the reconstruction was 66.2 days in ureterovaginal fistulas and 5.8 months in vesicovaginal and ureterovaginal ones. Transurethral urinary drainage was the operative method of choice. Eighty-three per cent of the operated patients were cured after the first correcting operation in patients with vesicovaginal and urethrovaginal fistulas. Best were the postoperative results in patients with ureterovaginal fistulas after ureterocystoneostomy by Bömonghaus's method.
