A Strategy for Management Control in Industrial Relations

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

In the modern business corporation the days will soon be forgotten when labour was laid off at a moment's notice or a worker sacked at the whim of a foreman, or when the management prerogative meant largely unfettered decision-making. Few are likely to regret the passing of such times. A more sophisticated, largely hidden system of control based on the encouragement of collective bargaining and participation will form the basis of the corporation's industrial relations strategy. The limitations on management power and authority imposed in the 1970s will be accepted as an inevitable part of the business environment. The legal rights of the individual from recruitment to termination of employment will be applied without question and many companies will have schemes in excess of the statutory requirements. Trade union rights to recognition for bargaining purposes will be irrelevant as unions will already be recognised, facilities for unions at the place of work will be extensive and information will readily be disclosed for both bargaining and consultative purposes.KeywordsManagement ControlTrade UnionCollective BargainingUnion MemberIndustrial RelationThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.

Toward a progressive cosmopolitanism

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Although cosmopolitan ideas are currently crucial for interpreting sociopolitical events, they should be considered from a critical perspective. In this article, I will draw on a bio-political reading of Gramsci’s writings in order to circumscribe the notions of ‘regressive’ and ‘progressive’ cosmopolitanism. I will show how the transition between the former, relying on humanistic connotations, and the latter is facilitated in the Prison Notebooks by the phenomenon of Americanism. American industrialism operates in ways that recall Italian ‘Umanesimo’, thus anticipating the rise of a new Renaissance. In view of the escalating growth of the economy and the consequent crisis of national sovereignties, Gramsci grounds the cosmopolitan ‘man’ on innovative forms of territorialization and a negative notion of identity, allowing political subjects to transform themselves and accomplish social change.
[Correlation between transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography and surgery in mitral stenosis].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

This prospective study was designed to analyse transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiographic findings in the morphological study of the mitral valve and to compare them with surgical findings. This study was based on a series of 60 consecutive patients (38 men and 22 women with a mean age of 36.3 +/- 4.2 years) undergoing open heart surgery for pure or very predominant symptomatic mitral stenosis between November 1993 and December 1994. All patients were investigated by transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography an average of 3 days before the surgical operation. Qualitative analysis of the mitral valve was rigorously performed according to a 4-point severity score taking into account mobility, thickness and degree of valve calcification as well as the condition of the subvalvular apparatus. The global echocardiographic score corresponded to the sum of the scores for these 4 elements. Transesophageal echocardiographic data and surgical findings were identical: global score: 9.3 vs 9.5, mobility: 2.8 vs 2.9, thickness: 2.6 vs 2.5, calcifications: 1.7 vs 1.8, condition of the subvalvular apparatus: 2.2 vs 2.3. The degree of valve damage was overestimated by transthoracic echocardiography compared to surgical data: global score: 10.4 vs 9.5 (p < 0.05), mobility: 3.1 vs 2.9 (p < 0.05), thickness: 2.8 vs 2.5 (p < 0.01), calcifications: 2.1 vs 1.8 (p < 0.01), but the difference was not significant for the condition of the subvalvular apparatus: 2.4 vs 2.3. In conclusion, surgical findings in pure or very predominant mitral stenosis are more closely correlated with transesophageal echocardiographic data than with transthoracic echocardiography, which tends to overestimate the severity of anatomical lesions, particularly valvular calcification.
Application of modified Goodman contact element in numerical analysis

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The Goodman element is widely used to simulate the contact of two different materials, however sometimes it causes large error in stress calculation and element embedding. In this paper, a further modified contact element is proposed, the better element has its own thickness, furthermore, when composed, the element normal connecting form is adopted as the changing mode associated with normal displacement: countless springs would be used as connection when normal displacement is less than thickness, or countless rigid connecting rods would be used. Meanwhile, by comparing the calculation results of horizontal displacement of an actual cutoff wall project using the two different methods with the actual measurement values, the new element has smaller error and is proved to be superior to the exiting Goodman element.
Incorporating Alfalfa into Warm-season Grass Systems in the Southeast

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Abstract Bermudagrass is the primary warm season perennial forage crop grown in the Southeast (~20 million acres) for livestock and forage operations. While prominent in the region, bermudagrass requires large amounts of fertility and forage quality is moderate relative to other options. There has been great success and a growing interest in interseeding alfalfa into existing bermudagrass stands in the region. This combination eliminates the need for nitrogen fertilization, increases relative forage quality (RFQ) better meeting the nutritional needs of livestock, and decreases the need for supplemental feed. In recent years, research evaluations have been conducted across the Southeast to evaluate the use of alfalfa when incorporated into warm-season grass forage systems under various management strategies. Three projects conducted from 2016–2020 at the University of Georgia Tifton campus evaluated ‘Bulldog 805’ alfalfa interseeded into Tifton-85 bermudagrass (1) when harvested as baleage, (2) under grazing management and(3) in a clipping study to better define defoliation management recommendations. Overall findings from this work observed that alfalfa-bermudagrass mixtures provide greater seasonal herbage accumulation, extend the growing season by three to four months annually, and increase forage DM digestibility and CP compared to bermudagrass alone. Steers on ABG managed under rotational stocking had greater total gain/ha (~%33 increase) due to a higher stocking density throughout the growing season than a bermudagrass monoculture. Results indicate that interseeding alfalfa into bermudagrass is a viable option for southeastern forage systems and can be an effective way to improve forage quality, extend the grazing season, and reduce the need for additional supplementation when fed to livestock.
Kaji Eksperimental Efektifitas Penyerapan Limbah Cair Industri Batik Taman Sari Yogyakarta Menggunakan Arang Aktif Mesh 80 dari Limbah Gergaji Kayu Jati

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Utilization of teak wood saw scratches can be optimized by processing it becomes active charcoal which possesses higher economic value. The purpose of this study is to obtain mesh 80 activated charcoal made from teak sawing industrial waste and to determine it’s effectiveness in adsorbing heavy metals pollutant Cd, Pb, Cr, and colouring agent in liquid waste of batik industries. The charcoal is produced at ~5000 oC retort either for 4 hours or until white colour smoke does not appear. Charcoal was activated using H2SO4 at temperature of 5000 oC for 30 minutes in a furnace. There were 2 variables in this study, i.e weight of the activated charcoal (10, 15, 20 grams) and duration of the stirring (5, 10,15 minutes). Result of the research shows that activated charcoal made from teak wood saw scratches can be used as adsorbent in the liquid waste of batik industries such as heavy metals Cd, Pb, Cr, and dark colour. The colour gradation was found to decrease from 12600 TCU to 198 TCU, Pb content decrease from 0,189 mg/l to less than 0,0093 mg/L, Cd content decrease from 0,213 mg/l to less than 0,0093 mg/L, while Cr content decrease from 2,03 mg/l to 0,4205 mg/l.
Lactoferricin B reverses cisplatin resistance in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma cells through targeting PD‐L1

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma ( HNSCC ) ranks among the top most common cancers with a poor prognosis. The mechanism of chemoresistance is still not well known. This study is to investigate the programmed death‐ligand 1 ( PD ‐L1) expression in HNSCC , and test the effect of lactoferricin B (LfcinB) on chemoresistance and its mechanism. We analyzed 510 HNSCC patients in TCGA database and investigated how CD 274 expression was related to patient prognosis. PD ‐L1 was verified from HNSCC samples at local hospital with immunohistochemistry. PD ‐L1 expression in the acquired cisplatin‐resistant HNSCC cells was examined by PCR and WB in order to test PD ‐L1‐induced chemoresistance. LfcinB inoculation in cisplatin‐resistant HNSCC cells and in the nude mice was introduced to test the effect of LfcinB on targeting cisplatin resistance and its mechanism. High CD 274 mRNA (>125 FPKM ) from TCGA database had a significantly reduced 5‐year survival rate, and a lower 5‐year survival rate in the chemotherapy and radiotherapy‐treated patients ( P < .05). PD ‐L1 overexpression was further supported from analysis of 40 HNSCC specimens. PD ‐L1 and IL ‐6 in the established cisplatin‐resistant HNSCC cells were shown significantly higher ( P < .05). IL ‐6 and PD ‐L1 expression were partially inhibited by the anti‐ IL ‐6/ STAT 3 antibody. LfcinB displayed a direct cytotoxic effect on cisplatin‐resistant HNSCC cells and HNSCC xenografts of cisplatin‐resistant cells in the nude mice displayed significant reduction in tumor volume after LfcinB injection ( P < .05). Besides, the increase of IL ‐6 and PD ‐L1 in cisplatin‐resistant HNSCC cells was abolished in vitro by LfcinB ( P < .05). PD ‐L1 expression in HNSCC cells correlates with poor prognosis and chemoresistance, and LfcinB might provide therapeutic potential in HNSCC patients through modulating IL ‐6 and PD ‐L1.
Creating Map Readers

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The loss to the cartographically proficient Prussian army in 1870 initiated a drive to introduce more geography and maps into French society. One way to do that was through education. Jules Ferry’s 1881 reforms made primary school laïque (secular), free, and obligatory. In addition, classrooms textbooks such as Fouillée’s Le Tour de la France par deux enfants taught the benefits of geography. This cartographic introduction provided immediate access to small, simple maps to millions for the first time, effectively democratizing them on a large scale. As Fouillée introduced maps to schoolchildren, Vidal de la Blache promoted physical geography in France, the study of which will improve topographical accuracy on future maps. as the French learned how to read cartographic documents as the Third Republic progressed, I look at the changing nature of map publishing at the end of the nineteenth century and how that transformation affected future cartographic products. Enhancements in technology facilitated a more robust cartographic publishing industry, one in which printing in colour became easier and less expensive and, as we see throughout the book, more prominent.
The Problem of Polarization

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Abstract This chapter completes the diagnostic argument by showing how the political saturation of social space contributes to our vulnerability to belief polarization. Belief polarization is the phenomenon by which like-minded individuals transform into more extreme versions of themselves in the wake of group interactions. It is argued that as the belief polarization effect can be prompted by mere corroboration of one’s views (rather than by face-to-face group discussion), politically saturated social environments can generate within us extremity shifts simply in the course of everyday activities. The belief polarization phenomenon initiates a broader polarization dynamic that dissolves citizens’ democratic capacities.
Chemokines in the skin.

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

In last few years, focus has shifted from cytokines which have pleiotropic biologic properties to chemokines with target cell selective activity. The separation has led frequently espoused proposition that chemokines are involved in the pathogenesis of disease having specific infiltrates and point to possible role in Chronic skin diseases. Depending upon the structure these chemokines are divided into three subfamilies, two major subfamilies: CXC and CC, and one putative subfamily C with only one member known as lymphotactin. A recent insight into chemokine physiology comes from demonstration of interaction between chemokines and their cloned receptors. These chemokine receptors are members of the transmembrane spanning (7-TMS), G-protein- coupled receptor family. So far CXC chemokine receptors and seven CC receptors have been cloned. Recently, the importance of selective chemoattractant activity of chemokines has been overshadowed by chemokine receptors emerging as new targets for anti-HIV therapy as the connection between chemokines and HIV-I had been established. Among the CXC chemokine receptors, CXCR4, and among the CC chemokines receptors, CCRI, CCR2b, CCR3, and CCR5 have been implicated as HIV-1 coreceptors.

Recurrent Stenosis of the Mitral Valve

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Forty-three patients with suspected restenosis of the mitral valve are reported. Forty of these occurred in a series of 672 mitral commissurotomies. A significant degree of recurrent stenosis was found in 40 of the 43 cases at the time of the second operation. The clinical features and findings in these patients are discussed, as well as the probable etiologic factors. Left heart catheterization is indicated in many of these cases to define precisely the hemodynamic status, particularly in those individuals with suspected concomitant mitral incompetency or myocardial disease. Open-heart surgery should significantly improve the results of a repeat mitral commissurotomy.

The Harbinger Theory

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Abstract North American law has been transformed in ways unimaginable before 9/11. Laws now authorize and courts have condoned indefinite detention without charge on secret evidence, mass secret surveillance, and targeted killing of U.S. citizens, suggesting a shift in the cultural currency of a liberal form of legality to authoritarian legality. This book demonstrates that extreme measures have been consistently embraced in politics, scholarship, and public opinion not in terms of a general fear of the greater threat that terrorism now poses, but in a more specific belief that 9/11 was the harbinger of a new order of terror giving rise to the likelihood in the near future of an attack on the same scale as 9/11 or greater, involving thousands or more casualties and possibly weapons of mass destruction (WMDs). The book surveys U.S. and Canadian counterterrorism law and policy marking the shift to authoritarian legality, and traces the role of the harbinger theory across a range of discourses—political, popular, and scholarly—to demonstrate the consistency and pervasiveness of the harbinger theory in support of extreme measures. The book also offers a unique overview of a range of skeptical evidence about the likelihood of mass terror involving nuclear, biological, and radiological weapons, as well as conventional means, arguing that a potentially more effective basis for reform advocacy is not to dismiss overstated claims of threats as implausible or psychologically grounded, but to challenge them directly through the use of contrary evidence.
Influence of Integrated Nutrient Management on Soil Properties and Plant Nutrient Uptake in Maize

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

A field experiment was conducted at Instructional-cum-Research Farm (ICR) of Assam Agricultural University, Jorhat during summer season of the year 2016 to evaluate the varietal response and effective integrated nutrient management practice for growth and yield of maize. The experiment was laid out in split plot design and replicated thrice. The soil of the experimental site was sandy loam in texture, acidic in reaction (pH 4.94), medium in organic carbon (0.72%), low in available N (159 kg/ha) and P2O5 (23.78 kg/ha) and medium in available K2O (160.5 kg/ha). Two composite variety of maize viz., RCM-76 and DA-61-A were sown in 18th of March (2016) and harvested by two picking on 24th June and 4th July. Experimental findings revealed that the nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium uptake by crop was highest (144.06 kg/ha N, 26.7 kg/ha P2O5, 141.9 kg/ha K2O) under 50% RD of N through fertilizer + 50% N replaced by Enriched compost with DA-61-A variety. However the nutrient status of the soil did not differ significantly, the available nutrient status decreased as compared to initial status.
Cottonseed Oilcake as a Protein Source in Feeds for Juvenile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus): Antinutritional Effects and Potential Detoxification by Iron Supplementation

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Crude cottonseed oilcake, a protein-rich by-product of cottonseed oil production, was used to replace fishmeal in diets for juvenile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Crude cottonseed oilcake was included in the diets at levels of 0% (control), 15%, 30%, and 45%, as an alternative protein source. The impact of the main antinutritional component of cottonseed oilcake, gossypol, on growth and its chronic adverse effects on blood hematocrit and tissue histology were assessed and compared with the documented effects of cottonseed meal. The detoxifying effect of iron (Fe) on gossypol was evaluated in the diets containing 30% and 45% cottonseed oilcake, which were supplemented with ferrous sulfate heptahydrate. As the rate of oilcake rose, the specific growth rate and protein efficiency ratio slightly, but significantly, dropped. Ferrous supplementation compensated for this effect in the 30% diet, but not in the 45% diet. However, iron supplementation led to mild inflammation in the intestine (infiltration of neutrophilic granulocytes), fatty degeneration of the liver, and a lower hepatosomatic index. Nevertheless, due to the beneficial effect on growth, iron supplementation is critical. No histopathological effects of the dietary cottonseed oilcake were observed in the gills, gonads, or heart. In conclusion, the effects of cottonseed oilcake supplementation were moderate when compared to the effects of cottonseed meal and a replacement level of 15-30% is recommended to obtain non-detectable effects.
Exercise and Sleep: Body-Heating Effects

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Eight physically trained subjects underwent three experimental conditions on separate occasions between 1400 and 1800 h. Two conditions acted as controls for a high-intensity exercise (HI) condition of treadmill running at 80% VO2 max for a total of 80 min. The rate of body heating was modelled in a no-exercise passive heating condition (PH), and the total exercise load was replicated in a low-intensity condition (LI) at 40% VO2 max for 160 min. LI produced no slow-wave sleep (SWS--stages 3 + 4 sleep) changes, but was the only condition to produce significant increases in sleep length and in non-rapid eye movement (REM) sleep (stages 1 + 2 + 3 + 4), and a significant decrease in sleep onset time. Although HI and PH produced similar SWS increases, these consisted of significant increases in stage 3 sleep for HI and in stage 4 sleep for PH. No REM sleep parameter was affected under any condition. Self-estimates of presleep tiredness produced no significant findings. It was concluded that a high and sustained rate of body heating for 1-2 h, particularly the inherent rapid rates of core temperature increase and of body dehydration, may trigger a SWS response, and that exercise may simply be a vehicle for these effects.
Airborne Monopulse Radar Echo Signal Generation from Surface Clutter Including Weather Clutter Effect

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

An airborne radar echo signal includes signals returned from clutter and a target; thus, simulating the signal from the clutter may be crucial for predicting and analyzing accurate radar performance. Because it can be extremely difficult and expensive to obtain real measured signal data for various scenarios, an accurate signal generation method is required. Existing weather clutter and ground clutter simulators for an X-band airborne radar are combined to simulate the echo signal when two clutters exist simultaneously. The weather clutter effect becomes more significant with increasing frequencies, such as in the X-band. The proposed simulator can generate time-domain signals by considering the random characteristics of the clutter signal and the Doppler effect caused by the movement of aircraft and clutter. In addition, a simple scheme is proposed for generating signals from artificial structures. Finally, the finite bandwidth of the transmitted chirp signal is calculated to improve the accuracy of the generated signal.
