Relational leadership and creativity: The effects of respectful engagement and caring on meaningfulness and creative work involvement

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

The authors develop a theoretical model that explains why and how relational leadership, through the qualities of respectful engagement and caring, enhances individual creative work involvement. They delineate two pathways to thriving, which, in turn, fosters creative work involvement. The first elucidates the mechanisms by which mutually respectful engagement in the leader–follower relationship helps individuals to develop meaningfulness in working, whereas the second pathway illuminates how mutual caring in the leader–follower relationship helps individuals to develop meaningfulness at work. They suggest that both forms of meaningfulness enable employees to thrive (experience both aliveness and learning), thereby enhancing their creativity. Furthermore, they propose and help uncover motivational conditions that might enhance the linkages between relational leadership, meaningfulness, thriving, and creativity. In so doing, they contribute to the literature by providing a fine-grained theory of how mutual respectful engagement and caring in interactions across various roles and functions help individuals to more fully engage in creative efforts.
Rapid Estimation of Carboxyhemoglobin Level in Fire Fighters

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

The analysis of expired breath with a portable electrochemical cell after carbon monoxide exposure provides a practical field method for the rapid estimation of carboxyhemoglobin. A fire fighter can collect and analyze his own breath sample for CO, an operation that requires 1 1/2 minutes. This simple technique has the accuracy necessary to determine compliance with the regulations governing occupational exposure to CO.
Design of a Pneumatic Device for Intussusception Reduction in Children

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Intussusception is an obstructive illness where a segment of the intestine gets into another segment of a neighboring one. Usually, it occurs within the first two years of life. In Venezuela, the most common way of resolving this pathology is through surgery which, although effective, represents a greater risk to the child. There are other less invasive reduction techniques such as air, barium and saline solution enemas. The pneumatic device which is used to reduce the intussusception is made with a sphignomanometer connected to a Foley's catheter. For this reason, this study pursued the following objectives: To assess the actual equipment for pneumatic reduction, and to propose modifications to such equipment. The methodology used was developed in two stages. The first one consisted of a need analysis of the actual device, and the second one of the proposed modifications to the pneumatic equipment. Some of the proposed modifications included the use of a pedal for insufflating air, digital reading of air pressure values, and adding a security air exhaust valve, calibrated at 120mmHg. All these modifications were aimed at facilitating patient manipulation and minimizing possible complications. Finally, it was concluded that: 1) The digital pressure messure is more reliable than the aerobic manometer. 2) Operating the device with the foot, facilitates it uses. 3) It is important to introduce the security valve calibrated to 120mmHg. 4) Cosider that the application of this model would benefits the patients and the public health. 5) The pneumatic reduction technique has many advantages over the surgical one. Recommendations: The incorporation of the modifications proposed in this study to the conventional equipment for pneumatic reduction, and to test the proposed equipment in order to assess its effectiveness on both experimental animals and human subjects.
Understanding How the Public Perceives the Importance of University Research in the United States

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Most universities in the United States have little or no idea about how the public perceives the importance of research done at these institutions. Learning whether the public believes academic research is valuable, meaningful, and practical has implications for higher education, if the public believes that university research is of little worth. This project utilized naturalistic and qualitative methods to learn how alumni perceived the importance of research at a major public university with a heavy concentration in research (Texas A&M University). Long interviews using open-ended questions were conducted with 133 alumni at 33 locations in Texas. Interviews were transcribed, unitized, and coded using qualitative methods, and themes were identified. Findings provide insights into whether the public believes university research is important, how the public learns about research, whether public relations programs are effective, the importance of research and teaching, and the types of research the public wants universities to pursue. A framework is proposed to learn about how well the public understands science and to measure the effectiveness of media and education programs to raise both science awareness and understanding of science.
The Public Universal Friend: Jemima Wilkinson and Religious Enthusiasm in Revolutionary America

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Historians have long acknowledged the significance of the two Great Awakenings in shaping the United States' religious and cultural landscape. Paul B. Moyer, however, calls attention to the period in between. He adds to a growing body of studies that challenge the view of the American Revolution as “a spiritual valley between two peaks of religious revivalism” by offering a compelling new microhistory of an important figure in early American religious history—the Public Universal Friend (pp. 5–6). The Universal Friend was in some ways a combination of William Miller and Mother Ann Lee. A prophet who challenged gender conventions of the time, the Friend allegedly emerged in 1776 to reanimate the lifeless corpse of a twenty-three-year-old Quaker named Jemima Wilkinson, who had died after a long illness. After assuming the identity of the Friend, Wilkinson began dressing, acting, and self-identifying as a man. The masculine persona then developed a following and eventually founded a couple of settlements in western New York, where his followers could pursue a spiritual life that combined Quaker ideals with New Light revivalism. Despite the prophet's noble intentions, the congregation fell apart due to factionalism and greed over the highly profitable land they had purchased collectively but divided into private holdings.
Decrease of Ca2‐ATPase activity in human keratinocytes during calcium‐induced differentiation

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

Ca2+ regulates keratinocyte differentiation by increasing intracellular Ca2+ levels. Ca2+-ATPase in the Ca2+-induced differentiation of human keratinocytes was investigated by measuring Ca2-ATPase mRNA, protein, and activity levels. Human keratinocytes were grown in Keratinocyte Growth Medium containing 0.03, 0.1, or 1.2 mM Ca2+ and assayed on days 2, 5, 7, 14, and 21. Ca2+-ATPase mRNA levels were found to be modestly increased in 5-, 7-, and 14-day cultured cells as compared with 2-day cultured cells, but levels fell below that of the 2-day cultured cells in the 21-day cultured cells. The Ca2+-ATPase mRNA levels were not affected by Ca2+ levels. A 135-kDa protein in human keratinocytes cross reacted with the monoclonal antibody against human erythrocyte Ca2+-ATPase. The level of this protein was decreased by Ca2+ and lost during differentiation, in parallel with the loss of enzymatic activity. Ca2+ influx of postconfluent 1.2 mM Ca2-grown cells was higher than that of cells grown in lower Ca2+ concentrations. Ca2+ efflux from postconfluent cells grown in 0.03 mM Ca2+ was less than that from cells grown in stronger Ca2+ concentrations. These results suggest that the loss of the plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPase with time in culture contributes to the rise in intracelluar Ca2+, thus promoting keratinocyte differentiation. J. Cell.

The Race Card

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This book uncovers popular games’ key role in the cultural construction of modern racial fictions. It argues that gaming provides the lens, language, and logic—in short, the authority—behind racial boundary making, reinforcing and at times subverting beliefs about where people racially and spatially belong. It focuses specifically on the experience of Asian Americans and the longer history of ludo-Orientalism, wherein play, the creation of games, and the use of game theory shape how East-West relations are imagined and reinforce notions of foreignness and perceptions of racial difference. Drawing from literary and critical texts, analog and digital games, journalistic accounts, marketing campaigns, and archival material, The Race Cardshows how ludo-Orientalism informs a range of historical events and social processes which readers may not even think of as related to play, from Chinese exclusion and the Japanese American internment to Cold War strategies, the model minority myth, and the globalization of Asian labor. Interrogating key moments in the formation of modern U.S. race relations, The Race Cardintroduces a new set of critical terms for engaging the literature as well as the legislation that emerged from these agonistic struggles.
Comparison Analysis of Airline Energy Efficiency Under Weak Disposability and Strong Disposability Using a Virtual Frontier Slack–Based Measure Model

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

ABSTRACT In this article, the energy efficiency of airlines has been studied with number of employees, capital stock, and tons of aviation kerosene as the inputs and revenue tonne kilometers, revenue passenger kilometers, total business income, and CO2 emission as the outputs. Two new models, Virtual Frontier SBM (slack-based measure) with strong disposability and Virtual Frontier SBM with weak disposability, are proposed to calculate the energy efficiencies of 22 airlines from 2008 to 2012. We prove two important properties of Virtual Frontier SBM, which can show its advantages over traditional model. The main findings are (1) Scandinavian Airlines has the largest average energy efficiency in the period both in strong disposability and weak disposability; and (2) CO2 emission has significant impacts on energy efficiency change in strong disposability, while it has little impact in weak disposability.
Kinetic study of treatment of wastewater contains food preservative agent by anaerobic baffled reactor : An overview

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

The characteristic of wastewater of food industries with preservative substances is high content of organic substances, degradable and high total suspended solid. High organic content in this waste forced the treatment is biologically and pointed out to anaerobic treatment. Anaerobic showed the better performance of degradation than aerobic for high content organic and also for toxic materials. During that day the treatment of food wastewater is aerobically which is high consume of energy required and high volume of sludge produced. The advantage of anaerobic is save high energy, less product of sludge, less requirement of nutrients of microorganism and high efficiency reduction of organic load. The high efficiency of reduction will reduce the load of further treatment, so that, the threshold limit based on the regulation would be easy to achieve. Research of treatment of wastewater of food industries would be utilized by both big scale industries and small industries using addition of preservative substances. The type reactor of anaerobic process is anaerobic baffled reactor that will give better contact between wastewater and microorganism in the sludge. The variables conducted in this research are the baffled configuration, sludge height, preservative agent contents, hydralic retention time and influence of micro nutrients. The respons of this research are the COD effluent, remaining preservative agent, pH, formation of volatile fatty acid and total suspended solid. The result of this research is kinetic model of the anaerobic baffled reactor, reaction kinetic of preservative agent degradation and technology of treatment wastewater contains preservative agent. The benefit of this research is to solve the treatment of wastewater of food industries with preservative substance in order to achieve wastewater limit regulation and also to prevent the environmental deterioration.
Tuberculosis Patients Admitted with High Fever and Hilar Mass

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Tuberculosis may occur with very different clinical and radiological features. Therefore, can be difficulties from time to time in the differential diagnosis. 22-year-old male patient with a history of drug use, presenting with high fever was admitted to the Infectious Diseases Clinic. Patient who fail to respond to empiric antibiotic therapy was transferred to our clinic due to the radiologically mass in the lung. Acid-fast bacilli were negative in sputum and bronchial lavage, tuberculosis was diagnosed with excision of the axillary lymphadenomegaly. Fever fell down with antituberculosis treatment and clinical improvement was observed. We present the case of tuberculosis which have with different clinical and radiological findings, in order to always keep in mind.
Why and when does shyness hinder people from seeking advice?

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Although it hasn’t been thoroughly proven yet, shyness may prevent people from seeking advice. The current study, which is grounded on social cognitive theory, seeks to understand how and why shyness affects advice-seeking. We specifically contend that shy people lack the social self-efficacy necessary to commence advice-seeking. In addition, we propose that this link is moderated by social support. We discovered that shyness was adversely correlated with social self-efficacy using a three-wave study with 240 participants and that the latter mediates the indirect association between shyness and advice-seeking. The indirect association between shyness and advice-seeking via social self-efficacy was further modulated by social support, such that the indirect effect was only significant when social support was low. We go over the theoretical and practical ramifications of our findings as well as potential research avenues.
Homogeneous crystal nucleation in liquid copper under quasi-isentropic compression

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Shock-induced freezing in liquids has long been a subject of interest as well as mystery. With large-scale molecular dynamics simulations, we demonstrate that homogeneous crystal nucleation in liquid Cu can be realized under effective supercooling $(\ensuremath{\theta})$, via quasi-isentropic compression or ramp wave loading with a particle velocity ${u}_{\mathrm{p}}$ achieved within a ramp time $\ensuremath{\tau}$. The simulations yield the $\ensuremath{\tau}\text{\ensuremath{-}}{u}_{\mathrm{p}}\text{\ensuremath{-}}\ensuremath{\theta}$ relations for homogeneous crystallization at the spatial and temporal scales of molecular dynamics; a ramp wave loading with $\ensuremath{\tau}\ensuremath{\sim}100$ ps is essentially isentropic for liquid Cu. Based on classical nucleation theory, we predict $\ensuremath{\theta}$, and thus ${u}_{\mathrm{p}}$, as required for homogenous nucleation in experiments with larger length and time scales. Homogeneous nucleation can also be achieved with shock loading in initially supercooled liquids.
A role for the Myoblast city homologues Dock1 and Dock5 and the adaptor proteins Crk and Crk-like in zebrafish myoblast fusion

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

Myoblast fusion follows a defined sequence of events that is strikingly similar in vertebrates and invertebrates. Genetic analysis in Drosophila has identified many of the molecules that mediate the different steps in the fusion process; by contrast, the molecular basis of myoblast fusion during vertebrate embryogenesis remains poorly characterised. A key component of the intracellular fusion pathway in Drosophila is the protein encoded by the myoblast city (mbc) gene, a close homologue of the vertebrate protein dedicator of cytokinesis 1 (DOCK1,formerly DOCK180). Using morpholino antisense-oligonucleotide-mediated knockdown of gene activity in the zebrafish embryo, we show that the fusion of embryonic fast-twitch myoblasts requires the activities of Dock1 and the closely related Dock5 protein. In addition, we show that the adaptor proteins Crk and Crk-like (Crkl), with which Dock proteins are known to interact physically, are also required for myoblast fusion.
Contributions to the taxonomy of the Brazilian Leurus Townes, 1946 (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae, Metopiinae)

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Leurus Townes, 1946 is a small genus of Metopiinae (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae), consisting of 13 described species distributed in the Neotropics and the Nearctic region. The present work aims to contribute to the taxonomic knowledge of Leurus in Brazil. A total of 109 specimens were identified and 15 literature records were analyzed. The genus geographical occurrence was evaluated according to data obtained from the literature and labels of analyzed specimens. Five species of Leurus were identified for the Brazilian fauna: L. angustignathus, L. caeruliventris, L. discus, L. gracius and L. nostrus. New municipality records of occurrence were made for L. angustignathus in the state of São Paulo, L. caeruliventris in the states of Bahia, Distrito Federal, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Minas Gerais, Paraná, Piauí and Rondônia; for, L. discus in the state of Alagoas and São Paulo, and L. gracius in the state of Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, and São Paulo. Females of L. angustignathus and L. gracius were described for the first time in the present study. The genitalia of males of L. caeruliventris, L. discus and L. gracius were described and illustrated for the first time.
Information retrieval in blogs

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Blogs have grown explosively nowadays and this makes the study of information retrieval (IR) in blogs increasingly crucial to research on how to effectively search for required and meaningful information from the huge and raw datasets of blogs. TREC (Text Retrieval Conference) is an annual conference with several tracks in which each of them researches on a particular domain of text retrieval. TREC Blog Track was created in 2006 to investigate the information seeking behavior in blog domain and there are several tasks performed under it now for different aspects of blogs. The focus of this project is to study the blog distillation (feed search) task which was designed to search for the relevant feeds which have a principal and recurring interest in a particular topic (query), so that the user may be interested to subscribe to the feeds in his feed reader. For the approaches deployed by the participating groups of this task, most of them perform the task by using Terrier search engine which is dedicated to handling most of the TREC datasets. However in this project, the author tries a novel approach that totally does not involve Terrier search engine. Instead, all the involved data is converted from file format to database format for higher reusability, portability and extensibility. By doing this, all existing programs/algorithms that are able to access database can work with this approach well. A well known Rocchio Algorithm is implemented to test out the performance of this approach and the results are quite promising. Further studies and researches are then required to substantiate the idea and the anticipated outcome is rewarding.
A Study of Ethical Considerations in Supply Chain Management\nResearch and Practice

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

This report investigates how ethical factors are being considered in supply chain management research and practice. A literature review defines the key terms and identifies several gaps in research, two of which are addressed in this paper; firstly how firms currently evaluate the ethical performance of their suppliers and secondly how existing supply chain management theory should be amended to incorporate ethical considerations. \n\nAn analysis of frameworks and codes of conduct published on the web was carried out. This found that the majority of firms’ frameworks were based on the conventions of the International Labour Organisation, with frameworks generally being a set of firm rules to which suppliers must adhere.\nInterviews were then carried with individuals from companies in three different industries; supply of fresh fruit to major retailers, retail of general leisure goods and clothing manufacture. These interviews highlighted several areas of similarity between the issues faced when managing a supply chain. Key points were the strong power over the whole supply chain held by some retailers and the importance of good relationships along the supply chain.\n\nThis paper introduces a new model of risk factors derived from the framework analysis and company interviews. This shows the power of the company, the nature of the industry and the country where goods are manufactured as being key risk factors. These risk factors were then used as inputs to a new overarching model of ethical supply chain management. This new model shows the key decisions at the design, tactical and operational levels where ethical elements should be considered. These decisions lead to the development of an improved framework for a company’s code of conduct, which in turn can drive better outcomes, both commercially and ethically. \n\nThe paper concludes that consumers’ desire for extensive availability of goods in store at low prices contributes to ethical failures in the supply chain, and suggests that changing these expectations would lead to a positive ethical outcome. \n\nA set of managerial recommendations are provided, based around the new model. These include taking a “design for ethics” approach to integrate ethical decisions into supply chain design, and suggest that fairer pricing would be the most effective method for improving ethical supply.\n\nA list of limitations and recommendations for further research is provided.
The use of personality measures in cross-cultural research: A test of three personality scales across two countries.

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

This study explored the measurement equivalence of 3 commonly used psychological measures across samples of U.S. and Indian male and female respondents. Multiple groups structural equations modeling indicated that locus of control was measured equivalently across U.S. and Indian male and female groups, whereas measurement equivalence of a self-esteem scale and a higher order need strength scale was observed across U.S. men, U.S. women, and Indian men. Baseline models for self-esteem and for higher order need strength failed to fit in the Indian female sample, suggesting basic differences in how respondents from this group conceptualized scale items. The results underscore the potential importance of culture as a factor that may moderate the types of inferences that can be made from test scores in cross-cultural research applications.
