Why leadership style matters: a closer look at transformational leadership and internal marketing

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Purpose The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationship between transformational leadership (TL) and internal marketing which is underscored by the centrality of human resources in satisfying employee’s needs and how internal marketing, as a moderator and mediator, can facilitate the effects of transformational leadership on social capital and employee loyalty. Design/methodology/approach This study develops a model and a number of propositions based on preceding literature on transformational leadership and internal marketing on social capital and employee loyalty. Findings The model proposes that transformational leadership can play a vital role in codification of human resources variables such as internal marketing, which is founded upon the principle of paying greater attention to employees. Moreover, despite the research gap on the relationship between social capital and employee loyalty, it can be concluded that social capital can increase the level of employee loyalty to organization. Research limitations/implications The proposed model has a number of academic and managerial contributions. This study contributes the knowledge by examining the relationship between transformational leadership and internal marketing. Managerially, this study helps managers to emphasize the centrality of human resources in satisfying employees and increase their loyalty toward the company. In addition, guarantees management effectiveness and organizational success in reaching their intended goals. Originality/value Despite the growing acknowledgment the importance of transformational leadership as a process in which leaders and followers upgrade each other’s level of ethic and motivation. However, there are few studies on the role and importance of transformational leadership on developing and reinforcing the internal marketing.
Treatment of Dermatitis Artefacta: A Systematic Review

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Dermatitis artefacta (DA) is a rare psychocutaneous disorder characterised by self-inflicted skin lesions that the patient denies producing. DA poses a complex clinical challenge to clinicians as patients often are resistant to the diagnosis, and can be hesitant to follow up with psychiatric or psychological services. There is a need to understand the optimal approach for management of patients with DA. This systematic review was undertaken to address this gap in knowledge. A search was conducted on PubMed and Embase using the following search strategy: Dermatitis artefacta OR factitious dermatitis OR factitial dermatitis OR artefactual skin AND treatment OR management OR therapy OR psychotherapy OR pharmacotherapy. Included studies were published from inception to 5ᵗʰ April 2023 in peer-reviewed journals, and discussed the treatment and management of DA. Studies were excluded if they were published in a language other than English. A total of 11 retrospective or prospective studies were included in this systematic review. They all found DA to be challenging to treat, with every study reporting patients experiencing a comorbid psychiatric condition or associated psychosocial stressor. Overall, there were better reported outcomes among follow-up patients treated in psychodermatology clinics with multidisciplinary teams of dermatologists, psychiatrists, and psychologists. Medical treatments can help with symptom control and promote wound healing, while psychological and psychiatric treatments can help address underlying psychosocial stressors for the condition. Further research is needed to evaluate optimal management and long-term treatment outcomes in patients with DA.

Due to the density of scarring, one case required subsequent penetrating keratoplasty for visual rehabilitation.Conclusion: Corneal collagen crosslinking is a promising new technique for the management of infective keratitis not responding to antimicrobial therapy. Further elucidation of its safety and role in management of infectious keratitis is needed by way of future studies.Keywords: CCL, riboflavin, UVA
The Hydraulic Mechanism of the Unfolding of Hind Wings in Dorcus titanus platymelus (Order: Coleoptera)

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

In most beetles, the hind wings are thin and fragile; when at rest, they are held over the back of the beetle. When the hind wing unfolds, it provides the necessary aerodynamic forces for flight. In this paper, we investigate the hydraulic mechanism of the unfolding process of the hind wings in Dorcus titanus platymelus (Oder: Coleoptera). The wing unfolding process of Dorcus titanus platymelus was examined using high speed camera sequences (400 frames/s), and the hydraulic pressure in the veins was measured with a biological pressure sensor and dynamic signal acquisition and analysis (DSA) during the expansion process. We found that the total time for the release of hydraulic pressure during wing folding is longer than the time required for unfolding. The pressure is proportional to the length of the wings and the body mass of the beetle. A retinal camera was used to investigate the fluid direction. We found that the peak pressures correspond to two main cross-folding joint expansions in the hind wing. These observations strongly suggest that blood pressure facilitates the extension of hind wings during unfolding.
Construction of an Artificial Cell Capable of Protein Expression at Low Temperatures Using a Cell Extract Derived from Pseudomonas fluorescens

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

A liposome-based artificial cell (LBAC) consists of a liposome encapsulating a cell-free protein expression system (CFPES) and protein-encoding DNA. It is surrounded by a lipid bilayer membrane and synthesizes proteins that resemble actual cells. Hence, they have been one of the most studied artificial cells. According to recent studies, they have been able to sense bio-functional molecules by synthesizing fluorescent proteins in response to target molecules. Therefore, they are expected to be used as biosensors. However, previously reported LBACs encapsulated the CFPES derived from Escherichia coli, resulting in the most productive protein expression at 20–40 °C. To broaden the range of their working temperatures to lower temperatures, in this study, we constructed LBACs using a CFPES derived from Pseudomonas fluorescens that grows at a temperature range of 4 °C to 30 °C. We then demonstrated that the constructed LBAC expressed proteins at 8 °C and that, the protein expression capability of the LBAC derived from P. fluorescens was four-fold higher than that derived from E. coli at 8 °C. This study will pave the way for the development of artificial cell-based biosensors that work in cold environments or for the synthesis of heat-labile proteins in LBACs.

Critical Properties of the Two-Dimensional Villain Model with Ferromagnetic Impurities

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

This work investigates the square lattice in the presence of an-ti-ferromagnetic exchange considering the two-dimensional Ising Villain model. A computational scheme is constructed to evaluate the degeneracy of ground states at zero temperature employing the Pfaffian method through perturbation theory. The entropy and canonical spin glass of the considered model are precisely obtained. The critical point between the Villain phase and canonical spin glass phase with the line fit of entropy at the thermodynamic limit is investigated. It is also shown that the transition point of the Villain model lies in the low concentration regime.
Exploring Systemic and Behavioral Factors Influencing Corruption in Public Procurement: A Global Comparative Study

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Public procurement is particularly vulnerable to corruption due to the substantial financial transactions and discretionary powers involved. Inadequate governance structures and cultural norms often exacerbate this vulnerability. This study explores the systemic and behavioral factors contributing to corruption in public procurement through a global comparative lens, focusing on regions including Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, and the Americas. Systemic factors, such as weak legal frameworks, lack of transparency, and institutional weaknesses, are analyzed alongside behavioral influences, such as cultural norms, individual ethical considerations, and moral disengagement. By conducting a comprehensive literature review, this study consolidates existing knowledge to pinpoint areas for improvement and emerging trends concerning procurement corruption. The research reveals that corruption in public procurement is deeply ingrained in both institutional frameworks and the cultural context in which procurement occurs. It recommends an integrated anti-corruption strategy combining structural reforms, such as bolstering regulatory oversight, with behavioral interventions to reshape cultural norms and foster ethical behavior. These findings offer valuable insights for policymakers and academics, emphasizing the necessity of tailored and multifaceted approaches to combat procurement corruption effectively. The study's results enrich the theoretical understanding of corruption by connecting structural and behavioral strategies, guiding policymakers and international organizations striving to promote transparency and accountability in public procurement.
The proliferation of international anti-corruption initiatives, standards, and guidelines

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Although the problem of corruption is a permanent feature of political systems and is hardly new, its re-emergence as a genuinely global issue showed up in the context of the continuing processes of globalization. In recent decades the world has witnessed a swift expansion of international anti-corruption initiatives, standards, and guidelines. This new form of global governance has emerged to align the heterogeneity of national legal regimes in the global playfield. This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of existing anti-corruption standards, clustering them along four categories. Based on the analysis of benefits and shortcomings of the standards, a conclusion is made that in the absence of a clear regulatory framework the effectiveness and efficiency of standards is limited since they lack accountability per se. The chapter closes by outlining the need for further academic research and debate to understand the genuine impact of standards on anti-corruption efforts.
[Alteration of insulin secretion in the elderly].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Aging per se is associated with reduced insulin secretion, which is an important contributing factor for pandemic of diabetes worldwide. Although underlying mechanism for it is not fully elucidated, a combination of reduced beta cell mass and impairment of insulin granule handing in the cell is most likely which may be due to age-related mitochondrial dysfunction and/or dysregulation of transcriptional factors. For effective prevention of diabetes in the elderly population, restoration of beta cell function is desired. Meanwhile, identification of insulin-deficient elderly patients with diabetes and an earlier institution of insulin therapy for them are recommended for improvement of treatment outcome.
WEAKLY CLASSICAL THEORIES OF IDENTITY

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

Abstract There are well-known quasi-formal arguments that identity is a “strict” relation in at least the following three senses: (1) There is a single identity relation and a single distinctness relation; (2) There are no contingent cases of identity or distinctness; and (3) There are no vague or indeterminate cases of identity or distinctness. However, the situation is less clear cut than it at first may appear. There is a natural formal theory of identity that is very close to the standard classical theory but which does not validate the formal analogues of (1)–(3). The core idea is simple: We weaken the Principle of the Indiscernibility of Identicals from a conditional to an entailment and we adopt a weakly classical logic. This paper investigates this weakly classical theory of identity (and related theories) and discusses its philosophical ramifications. It argues that we can accept a reasonable theory of identity without committing ourselves to the uniqueness, necessity, or determinacy of identity.
Female Under-representation in Educational Management

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The obvious fact of female under-representation in educational management across cultures and nations is mentioned in every relevant study. Interestingly this phenomenon transcends the dichotomies such as developed/under-developed, Eastern/Western, Muslim/non-Muslim, First/ Third World countries. Variations are more often due to situational differences. For example, the percentage of female representation in higher education management for the U.S., Britain and China as given by Lyn Davies is respectively 24, 13, and 26 per cent (1992-6; Also see Coleman: 1996), 20-30 per cent in Pakistan (Ibid:4). These statistics could be misleading for generalisation purposes if it is assumed that a higher percentage means more educated women or less gender discrimination. We know that a comparatively higher percentage of women managers in Pakistan is because of 'women only' institutions. In the contexts where management jobs are open to men and women, women are in extremely low numbers, and the situation is not very different in other countries.
Further Studies with the 2-Amino-1,3-thiazol-4(5<i>H</i>)-one Class of 11β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase Type 1 Inhibitors: Reducing Pregnane X Receptor Activity and Exploring Activity in a Monkey Pharmacodynamic Model

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

A series of compounds containing the 2-amino-1,3-thiazol-4(5<i>H</i>)-one core were found to be potent inhibitors of the enzyme 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1). One of our lead compounds from this series activated the human nuclear xenobiotic receptor, pregnane X receptor (PXR). To try and mitigate the PXR activity, we prepared analogues of our lead series that contained polar groups on the right-hand side of the thiazolone. Several analogues containing amides or alcohols appended to the C-5 position of the thiazolone showed a significant reduction in PXR activity. Through these structure−activity efforts, a compound containing a <i>tert</i>-alcohol group off the C-5 position, analogue (<i>S</i>)-<b>33a</b>, was found to have an 11β-HSD1 <i>K</i><sub>i</sub> = 35 nM and negligible PXR activity. Compound (<i>S</i>)-<b>33a</b> was advanced into a pharmacodynamic model in cynomolgus monkeys, where it inhibited adipose 11β-HSD1 activity after being orally administered.
CVDentus bur for epithelial abrasion in the treatment of melanin pigmentation: case report

Field: Dentistry (Health Sciences)

Introduction: The gingival melanin hyperpigmentation (GMH) is resulted from an abnormal deposition of melanin, but it is not a pathology. However, GMH is an esthetic problem for some people. Some alternatives of treatment for this situation exist. The epithelial abrasion has been an interesting alternative because it has a satisfactory esthetic outcome, is a fast procedure, of easy execution, and low cost. Recently, tips adapted in ultrasound (CVDentus) can bean alternative approach. Objective: To report a clinical case of GMH treated by the technique of the epithelial abrasion with association of instrument adapted in ultrasound. Case report: Patient aged 28 years, melanoderm, sought treatment due to esthetic dissatisfaction because of intense dark color in the maxillary gingiva. The GMH removal was proposed through the technique of the epithelialabrasion CVD bur. Conclusion: The technique of epithelial abrasion using CVD bur was effective in removing GMH at one-year follow-up showing to be easy and safe technique.
The Dynamics of Postmitotic Reassembly of the Nucleolus

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

Mammalian cell nucleoli disassemble at the onset of M-phase and reassemble during telophase. Recent studies showed that partially processed preribosomal RNA (pre-rRNA) is preserved in association with processing components in the perichromosomal regions (PRs) and in particles called nucleolus-derived foci (NDF) during mitosis. Here, the dynamics of nucleolar reassembly were examined for the first time in living cells expressing fusions of the processing-related proteins fibrillarin, nucleolin, or B23 with green fluorescent protein (GFP). During telophase the NDF disappeared with a concomitant appearance of material in the reforming nuclei. Prenucleolar bodies (PNBs) appeared in nuclei in early telophase and gradually disappeared as nucleoli formed, strongly suggesting the transfer of PNB components to newly forming nucleoli. Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) showed that fibrillarin-GFP reassociates with the NDF and PNBs at rapid and similar rates. The reentry of processing complexes into telophase nuclei is suggested by the presence of pre-rRNA sequences in PNBs. Entry of specific proteins into the nucleolus approximately correlated with the timing of processing events. The mitotically preserved processing complexes may be essential for regulating the distribution of components to reassembling daughter cell nucleoli.

The present study was aimed for studying epidemiological, clinico-pathological, hemato-biochemical and therapeutic management of indigestion in buffaloes in and around Pantnagar of Uttarakhand state. Rumen motility reduced substantially in all the therapeutic groups. Before the treatment, pH of rumen liquor was slightly acidic in all the treatment groups. Pre-treatment rumen liquor examination revealed reduced microbial count and activity, which was indicated by reduced total protozoal count, protozoal motility, bacterial count and amount of TVFA in rumen liquor and increase in time values for MBRT, SAT and Nitrate reduction test. Hemogram with leukocytosis, neutrophilia and lymphocytopenia suggestive of more or less stress like condition. Alterations in biochemical parameters included significant (P≤0.05) increase in serum ALT, AST, LDH and BUN concentrations and reduced serum glucose levels. Recovery in magnesium sulphate treated was 83.33%, whereas in all the other therapeutic groups (Air dried RL and Lyophilized RL) recovery was 100%. Based on the clinico-therapeutic study lyophilized rumen liquor was graded as a superior treatment for indigestion in buffaloes followed by air dried rumen liquor and magnesium sulphate respectively.
The digital principal : how to encourage a technology-rich learning environment that meets the needs of teachers and students

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Technology has changed the way we live and interact with each other. In our modern world, schools need to establish learning environments that engage students and build on digital student experiences outside of school. Although education leaders do not have to be digital experts, they need to recognise the importance of supporting learning communities that embrace technological innovation. Principals have an important role in creating an effective school technology plan that supports teachers as they explore the potential of the digital world. The Digital Principal shows educational leaders how to apply their leadership skills to the challenge of creating and supporting a learning environment rich in technology and opportunities for students and teachers to work, teach, and learn in the digital age. From basics of digital literacy and digital citizenship, to connecting to the digital community and accessing digital and virtual worlds, this book establishes a framework for integrating technology into instruction and learning. It includes technology standards specific to educational administrators, a survey testing a school's TQ (Technology Quotient, or its readiness to embrace both the digital principle and the digital principal), tips for grant writing to improve a school's resources, and ways to support teachers in becoming facilitators to students' learning with technology. This timely book describes effective ways to provide visionary leadership in the digital age.
Response of Axonopus catarinensis and Arachis pintoi to shade conditions

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

In the north-east of Argentina, there are more than 100,000 hectares of silvopastoral systems where trees, forages and livestock are combined with the goal to diversify income, reduce financial risk, obtain more profit and enhance environmental benefit (Cubbage et al. 2013). The rapid adoption of this production system by farmers has generated high demand for information on shade tolerant grass and legume forage species.\nAxonopus catarinensis is a native grass from Itajai Vally (Brazil) that was introduced to the north-east of Argentina 10 years ago; whereas Arachis pintoi is a sub-tropical legume (also native to Brazil) adapted to acid soils and tolerant of medium levels of shade (Fisher and Cruz 1994). Visual observation of these species in the field indicated high yields and acceptable tolerance to shade.\nA trial was subsequently carried out with the aim to quantify dry matter yield and nutritive quality of the species under different levels of shade for silvopastoral use.
