Decentralisation of HR Practices - A European Comparative Perspective

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Throughout the last two decades, public administration modernisation in most countries has been characterised by two major directions strongly related to the NPM doctrine (eg. OCED 2005; Pollitt/Bouckaert 2004; Jones et al. 2004): On the one hand, decentralisation of authority/responsibility and the increase of management autonomy – especially through agencification – to improve performance and, on the other hand, efforts to strengthen accountability. Highly centralised, hierarchical organisational structures have increasingly been replaced by decentralised management environments where decisions on resource allocation and service delivery are made closer to the point of delivery. Constraints in financial and HR management are removed. Managers and organisational units are given greater freedom in operational decisions and then held accountable ex post. Such reforms have become a ubiquitous feature of public management reforms (eg. Peters/Pierre 2001; Pollitt/Bouckaert 2004, 81f).
Concurrent hyperthyroidism and thyroid carcinoma

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Between 1986 and 1991, thyroidectomy was performed on 138 patients with hyperthyroidism. Thyroid carcinoma was found in eight patients (5.8 per cent). Eighty (58.0 per cent) of the 138 patients had toxic nodular goitre, 33 (23.9 per cent) toxic diffuse goitre and 25 (18.1 per cent) toxic adenoma. Concurrent carcinoma was more frequent in patients with toxic adenoma (8 per cent) than in those with Graves' disease (6 per cent) and toxic nodular goitre (5 per cent). Papillary carcinoma was found in seven patients and follicular carcinoma in one. Three papillary carcinomas were occult with a diameter less than 1.5 cm. Five patients received 100 mCi 131I after operation. There was no morbidity. During follow-up of 10–45 months, there was neither death nor recurrence.
Changes in proximate composition of sprat (Sprattus sprattusphalericus, Risso 1826) fishmeal stored at different temperatures.

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

In this research, the changes on proximate composition of sprat fishmeal stored at different temperature during 180 days were investigated. The initial crude protein, crude lipid, crude ash and water contents of fishmeal were; 71.32%, 7.76%, 11.19% and 7.10%, respectively. During the storage period, protein content of fishmeal stored at 20±4oC generally decreased, in contrast, it increased in the fishmeal stored at 3±1.2oC. In this study, nutritional quality of sprat fishmeal stored in cold found to be higher than the other during the storage period.

Their synergistic effect was established as manifested by longer periods of virus detection in the blood and heart and the detection of the streptococcus in animals infected with an 8-fold lower dose. In cases of combined infection, signs of dystrophy, destruction and proliferation developed in the myocardium reaching the highest intensity when the virus and the microbe had been inoculated simultaneously.
Impact of Maxwell velocity slip and Smoluchowski temperature slip on CNTs with modified Fourier theory: Reiner-Philippoff model

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The present article presents a novel idea regarding the implementation of Tiwari and Das model on Reiner-Philippoff fluid (RPF) model by considering blood as a base fluid. The Cattaneo-Christov model and thermal radiative flow have been employed to study heat transfer analysis. Tiwari and Das model consider nanoparticles volume fraction for heat transfer enhancement instead of the Buongiorno model which heavily relies on thermophoresis and Brownian diffusion effects for heat transfer analysis. Maxwell velocity and Temperature slip boundary conditions have been employed at the surface of the sheet. By utilizing the suitable transformations, the modeled PDEs (partial-differential equations) are renewed in ODEs (ordinary-differential equations) and treated these equations numerically with the aid of bvp4c technique in MATLAB software. To check the reliability of the proposed scheme a comparison with available literature has been made. Other than Buongiorno nanofluid model no attempt has been made in literature to study the impact of nanoparticles on Reiner-Philippoff fluid model past a stretchable surface. This article fills this gap available in the existing literature by considering novel ideas like the implementation of carbon nanotubes, CCHF, and thermal radiation effects on Reiner-Philippoff fluid past a slippery expandable sheet. Momentum, as well as temperature slip boundary conditions, are never studied and considered before for the case of Reiner-Philippoff fluid past a slippery expandable sheet. In the light of physical effects used in this model, it is observed that heat transfer rate escalates as a result of magnification in thermal radiation parameter which is 18.5% and skin friction coefficient diminishes by the virtue of amplification in the velocity slip parameter and maximum decrement is 67.9%.

Executive incentives as an instrument of leadership – Says who?

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

There is currently wide consensus concerning the notion that corporations can and should call on executive incentives, particularly cash bonuses and stock options, to shape executive behaviors and enhance company performance. To be sure, much controversy surrounds the implementation of such incentives, but the lightning rod is typically the matter of how much, not the use of incentives themselves. Contemporary research, by and large, seeks to fine-tune an existing paradigm rather than probe its underlying assumptions. This article calls on the methodology of history to probe the underlying assumptions and construction of executive incentives in order to ask those fundamental questions. By exploring the work of General Motors president Alfred Sloan and McKinsey & Company consultant Arch Patton, both prime movers of the widespread use of such incentives, the article notes that their beliefs were an outgrowth of a particular historical context. The assumptions that emerged as a result of that context have since become embedded into our collective institutional consciousness and have impacted society far beyond the borders of corporations; helping to support an ever-widening gulf between the top 1% of society and the remainder. A reconsideration of the underlying assumptions is encouraged. The impact on organizational performance would be either negligible or positive; and the effect on economic distribution in the company and the host society would be profound. Abandoning the outmoded notion of executive inventive, in other words, would be an act of true leadership.

Livestock feed and fodder resources of India and strategies for their judicious utilization: A review

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Livestock production has been an integral part of Indian agriculture and this scenario is not likely to change in the near future. For sustenance and growth of the livestock sector in the country it is essential that the feed resources be utilized efficiently since the feed cost accounts to almost 60-70% of the total cost of rearing of the animals. Livestock in India are mostly dependent on the crop residues as their staple diet and any interventions for bringing about changes in the feeding systems has to essentially look in to this aspect. The present potential availabilit)~ of dry roughages, greens and concentrates in the country is to the extent of 393.38,462.05 and 35.32 million tonnes respectively. Contrary to the expactatio, adequate feed resources are available in the country, at least in terms of quantitative availablity However, a wide gap still exists in terms of qualitative parameters. For drawing out any short-term or long-term plans/ stratagies for enhancing the productivity of Indian livestock, it is imperative that an inventory of the available feed resources has to be drawn out meticulously and such information as to be updated periodically. Several improved feeding strategies are being adopted looking in to the production parameters of the livestock and the feed resources available.Subtle changes in the feeding systems, which are cost effective and region specific have to he brought in for enhancing the production performance of our livestock.
Kinship and mate choice in a historic eastern Blue Ridge community, Madison County, Virginia.

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Potential mates analysis is difficult to apply to small historic populations that lack clear boundaries or regular vital event registration. Here I analyze the actual mate pool as an alternative way to identify causes of nonrandom mating when unmarried members are unknown. Factors influencing mate choice within a historic eastern Blue Ridge community in Madison County, Virginia, are examined for four marriage cohorts: 1850-1879, 1880-1899, 1900-1919, and 1920-1939. These factors include nuclear kin avoidance, preferred age differences between mates, and preferences for more distant kin. A simulation is used to recombine members of the cohort-specific pools of married individuals to generate the probabilities of various types of kin marriages. The pedigree and vital statistics data are derived from first-time marriage licenses filled by community members in Madison County from 1794 to 1939. The numbers of marriages examined for each cohort are 88, 120, 132, and 132, respectively; the mate pools constructed from the samples are viewed from the female perspective. The results generated by simulation on the actual mate pools consist of mean kinship coefficients, numbers of marriages between "allowed" kin types, and probabilities of these values when marriage is random with respect to kinship. The results indicate significantly high levels of inbreeding in all four marriage cohorts, primarily because of high levels of first-cousin marriages in the first three cohorts and of first-cousin once-removed marriages in the 1920 cohort. The observed mating patterns are discussed in terms of the social history of the Blue Ridge community and restrictions of the data.
A Supplemental Report on the Reduction of TTC by Plant Embryo Slices

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The effects of arsenite, pyrophosphate, citrate, pH, 2. 4-D, thickness of slices and cyanide on the TTC reduction in the slices of radicle and hypocotyl of seedlings of Phaseolus vulgaris were examined. Among these reagents and reaction conditions, arsenite, pyrophosphate, cyanide and low pH inhibited the reduction of TTC, while 2. 4-D accelerated it slightly. Citrate had no appearent effect on it. When the slices were thinner than about 150μ no reduction appeared in them even under the best conditions. The inhibition by cyanide and its partial reqersibility were confirmed. It was concluded that the TTC method for the histochemical demonstration of succinic dehydrogenase in plant tissues is reliable, and that the enzyme is distributed in the cells of procambial tissue.
Changing Organizational Culture: Cultural Change Work in Progress

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

How is practical change work carried out in modern organizations? And what kind of challenges, tasks and other difficulties are normally encountered? In a turbulent and changing world, organizational culture is often seen as central for sustained competitiveness. Organizations are faced with increased demands for change but these are often so challenging that they meet heavy resistance and fizzle out. Changing Organizational Culture encourages the development of a reflexive approach to organizational change, providing insights as to why it may be difficult to maintain momentum in change processes. Based around an illuminating case study of a cultural change programme, the book provides 15 lessons on the entire change journey; from analysis and design to implementation and how organizational members should approach change projects. This updated and enhanced third edition considers the most recent studies on organizational change practice, with new examples from businesses and the public sector, and it includes one empirical study which uses the authors’ own framework, enriching their practical recommendations. It also draws on the latest theoretical developments, including ideas of power, identity and storytelling. Changing Organizational Culture is vital reading for students, researchers and practitioners working in organizational studies, change management and HRM.
Temperature Prediction for 3 MW Wind-Turbine Gearbox Based on Thermal Network Model

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Focusing on the investigation of a 3 MW wind-turbine gearbox, this paper’s aim is to address the challenge of turbine shutdown due to the internal oil temperature exceeding its limits. Additionally, there is the difficulty in measuring the internal temperature. To tackle these issues, a thermal network model for the entire gearbox was developed. This model is based on an analysis of the thermodynamic behavior of the three-stage transmission in the wind-turbine gearbox and internal oil-spray lubrication. Through this model, thermal balance equations were established to predict the steady-state temperatures under different operating conditions. This study delved into the calculation methods for the power loss of heat sources in thermodynamic balance equations and the calculation methods for different types of thermal resistance between nodes, forming an adapted computational process. Applying this model, simulated analyses yielded temperatures at various nodes and bearing temperatures under different operating conditions. These results were compared with actual SCADA data, and steady-state thermal simulations of the high-speed stages were conducted, demonstrating the model’s effectiveness in predicting steady-state temperatures for a large-megawatt wind-turbine gearbox. Furthermore, the model-based analysis explored the impact of the oil spray parameters on the gearbox temperature, providing a theoretical foundation for further anticipating overheating malfunctions and optimizing the internal cooling systems.

Sensitization of silicon by singlet exciton fission in tetracene

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Singlet fission can split a high energy singlet exciton and generate two lower energy triplet excitons. This process has shown near 200 percent triplet exciton yield. Sensitizing solar cells with singlet fission material, it can potentially increase the power conversion efficiency limit from 29 percent to 35 percent. Singlet fission in the tetracene is known to be efficient, and the energy of the triplet excitons are energetically matched to the silicon bandgap. In this work, we designed an optical measurement with an external magnetic field to determine the efficiencies of triplet exciton transfer from tetracene to silicon. Using this method, we have found that a passivation layer of 8 angstroms of hafnium oxynitride on silicon allows efficient triplet exciton transfer around 133 percent.
ELECTRON MICROSCOPIC OBSERVATION ON THE TRANSFORMED LYMPHOCYTES

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

Preparations of human peripheral blood lymphocytes were incubated with phyto-hemagglutinin(PHA). Observations on the ultrastructural features and the metabolic properties of the reactive cells were made by means of electron microscopy and by electron microscopic autoradiography with the incorporation of tritiated thymidine (3HTdE) into the cells. A total of 21 samples was studied, of which 10 was used as control.In the culture of PHA stimulated lymphocytes, it was observed that the majority of them were at different stages of the transformation process. Numerous blast-like type transformed lymphocytes were seen. The cell body is large and is largely occupied by the nucleus, which has prominent nucleoli and evenly scattered euchromatin. In the cytoplasm, there were a great number of free ribosomes and polyribosomes, well developed Golgi apparatus, tubular endoplasmio reticulum, many mitochondria, some multivesicules and lysomes. It was considered that these cells were at the stage of growth and multiplication, and were active in synthesizing cell constituent protein. The electron autoradiography showed numerous black silver granules in the nucleus. It is evident that these cells can take up large amount of 3HTdE for synthesizing DNA.In addition, in the nuclei of small lymphocytes cultured with PHA and in that of the control, no silver granules were observed. Therefore, it is suggested that the metabolic process of the transformed lymphocytes was different from that of small lymphocytes.
Storage and fresh cut radish

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The aim of this work was to ascertain the post-harvest preservation of Crimson Giant radishes with the following conditions: 1) stored at room temperature (20 ± 2°C and 75% relative humidity; RH) with or without leaves; or 2) stored at a refrigeration temperature of 5ºC and 90% RH with leaves, without leaves or minimally processed. For radishes stored at room temperature, evaluations were made at 0, 1 and 3 days. For radishes stored at a refrigeration temperature, evaluations were made at 0, 1, 3 and 6 days. The parameters evaluated included weight loss, pulp firmness, soluble solids, pH, and titratable acidity. At room temperature (20 ± 2°C and 75% RH), the radish bulbs with and without leaves had weight losses exceeding 5% after one day of storage, which rendered these radishes unmarketable. Minimally processed radish bulbs can be stored for more than six days at a temperature of 5ºC, and non-processed radishes stored with and without leaves at the same temperature should not be stored for more than one day.
