The Effect of Perceived Organizational Support on Affective Commitment and Job Performance: Mediating Role of OBSE

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of perceived organizational support on affective commitment and job performance, with mediating role of organization-based self-esteem (OBSE). Survey respondents include 318 employees from the National Iranian Drilling Company (NIDC) in Ahvaz, Iran, that were selected by simple random sampling method. Results using structural equation modeling (SEM) showed that perceived organizational support (POS) predicted organization-based self- esteem (OBSE), which in turn predicted affective commitment and job performance. Organization-based self-esteem mediated these relationships. Discussion and implications of results are presented in the study.
Radiosensitizers in the temozolomide era for newly diagnosed glioblastoma

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Glioblastoma (GBM) is a challenging diagnosis with almost universally poor prognosis. Though the survival advantage of postoperative radiation (RT) is well established, around 90% of patients will fail in the RT field. The high likelihood of local failure suggests the efficacy of RT needs to be improved to improve clinical outcomes. Radiosensitizers are an established method of enhancing RT cell killing through the addition of a pharmaceutical agent. Though the majority of trials using radiosensitizers have historically been unsuccessful, there continues to be interest with a variety of approaches having been employed. Epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors, histone deacetylase inhibitors, antiangiogenic agents, and a number of other molecularly targeted agents have all been investigated as potential methods of radiosensitization in the temozolomide era. Outcomes have varied both in terms of toxicity and survival, but some agents such as valproic acid and bortezomib have demonstrated promising results. However, reporting of results in phase 2 trials in newly diagnosed GBM have been inconsistent, with no standard in reporting progression-free survival and toxicity. There is a pressing need for investigation of new agents; however, nearly all phase 3 trials of GBM patients of the past 25 years have demonstrated no improvement in outcomes. One proposed explanation for this is the selection of agents lacking sufficient preclinical data and/or based on poorly designed phase 2 trials. Radiosensitization may represent a viable strategy for improving GBM outcomes in newly diagnosed patients, and further investigation using agents with promising phase 2 data is warranted.
Epigenetic regulation in diabetic vascular complications

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

Cardiovascular disease (CVD), the main complication of diabetes mellitus (DM), accounts for a high percentage of mortality in diabetic patients. Endothelial dysfunction is a major causative event in the pathogenesis of diabetes-related vascular disease and the earliest symptom of vascular injury. Epigenetic modification plays a key role in the initiation, maintenance, and progression of both endothelial dysfunction and diabetes. Epigenetic alterations respond to the environment and mediate the ‘legacy effect’ of uncontrolled hyperglycaemia early in the disease despite thorough glycaemic control in a phenomenon called metabolic memory. Therefore, an understanding of the integrated system of different epigenetic mechanisms in DM and its vascular complications is urgently needed. This review summarizes aberrant epigenetic regulation under diabetic conditions, including histone modifications, DNA methylation, and non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs). Understanding the connections between these processes and DM may reveal a novel potential therapeutic target for diabetic vascular complications.
"From The Primacy Of Production To That Of The Market - A Tendency In The Theory And Practice Of The Development Of Marketing At The Level Of Organization Adriana Ionescu, Junior Teaching Assistant "

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Marketing offers each organization means of action which have already been tested in practice in the view of taking decisions regarding the market and the client.Marketing is a branch of the science of the organization and running an enterprise, which is based on knowledge of organization and running an enterprise, of macroeconomics, of psychology and of sociology.Marketing functions in an organization, independent of the existence of a department of marketing, and it is a way of thinking that generates various orientations.Nowadays, in most companies, marketing fulfills a leading function, being perceived as a management market/oriented which is in a functional rapport with the management of the organization.
Threshold target thickness in high-contrast laser-driven ion acceleration

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

The experiments have revealed a “threshold” target thickness for proton acceleration by a femtosecond petawatt class laser above which the forward accelerated proton energy weakly depends on the target thickness, while for thinner targets, it gradually decreases. For targets thicker than the threshold, the pre-pulse-induced preplasma at the target front can boost ion acceleration by increasing laser absorption, while this is ineffective for thinner targets due to prepulse-induced plasma formation at the target rear. This dual nature of the preplasma is described analytically, and particle-in-cell simulations confirm this concept. A linear dependence of threshold target thickness on the prepulse intensity is predicted.
Oscar Wilde and Victorian Psychology

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This thesis examines Oscar Wilde’s theories of art in connection with specific debates ongoing in Victorian psychology as it emerged in the periodical press. By cross examining \nWilde’s periodical contributions with psychological theories, concepts and discussions disseminated through periodicals this thesis offers a contextual account of Wilde’s creativity. Scholars generally look to Wilde’s Oxford Notebooks to gain an insight into his interaction with scientific culture. While the notebooks are an invaluable source to scholars they only cover Wilde’s learning in the 1870s and therefore exclude the influential context of the 1880s when he was engaged as a journalist for numerous periodicals and newspapers. \nChapter one will demonstrate how reading Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray alongside neighbouring articles in the Lippincott’s Monthly Magazine reveals the hidden context of psychology in which the editors of the issue attempted to establish the text. The second chapter explores Wilde’s engagement in the disputes over psychological nomenclature alongside the psychology of George Henry Lewes, James Sully and other contributors. The third chapter will investigate the network in which Wilde’s reviewing for the Pall Mall Gazette established him. Wilde’s exchanges with aesthetic theorists and fellow reviewers Sully and Grant Allen will also be documented. \nThe fourth chapter will demonstrate how Wilde creatively engaged with theories of atomism, emotionalist psychology and physiological aesthetics. The final chapter will examine the ethical questions posed by Wildean aesthetics in relation to scientific naturalism. Wilde originally communicated his theories through periodicals but also delivered lectures (which were reported in magazines), as well as eventually transforming his periodical articles into book publications. While this thesis places the onus on the periodical formats of Wilde’s texts, his lectures and revised editions of his writings will also be examined where relevant.
AoI optimal UAV trajectory planning: A Deep Recurrent Reinforcement Learning Approach

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

In this paper, we consider an unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV)-assisted IoT network and study the trajectory planning problem to optimize the information freshness, in terms of age of information (AoI), where the update arrivals at IoT devices are stochastic and are not known to the UAV. To this end, we first formulate the dynamic UAV trajectory planning problem as a Partially Observable Markov Decision Process (POMDP) with non-uniform time steps, where the set of valid actions is coupled with the agent's observations. Then, a deep recurrent reinforcement learning (DRRL) algorithm is devised to find the policy minimizing the expectation of the weighted average AoI, in which a modified discount mechanism is utilized to deal with the challenge from non-uniform time steps and an action elimination mechanism is introduced to address the coupling between the valid actions and observations. Finally, simulations are conducted to validate the effectiveness of our proposed algorithm by comparing it with baseline strategies.
Evaluation of susceptibility and response in the surface of agents of surface mycoses (Trichophyton mentagrophytes; T. tonsurans) to antifungal drugs of interest in a medical clinic

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Introduction: The resistance of fungal species to drugs usually used in clinics is of great interest in the medical field. Objective: To evaluate susceptibility and in vitro response of species of Trichophyton spp. to antifungal drugs of interest in clinical medicine. Methods: 12 samples of clinical isolates from humans were used, nine of T. mentagrophytes and three of T. tonsurans. Susceptibility tests were performed according to the agar diffusion (AD) and broth microdilution (BM) methods. Results: In the AD method, the species T. tonsurans presented a percentage of sensitivity of 33% in relation to amphotericin B and 66% to itraconazole, with 100% resistance to ketoconazole and fluconazole. T. mentagrophytes also showed 100% resistance to ketoconazole in this technique, with 11% sensitivity to ketoconazole, 22% to itraconazole and 22% of samples classified as sensitive dose dependent. In the MC method, the species T. tonsurans presented a sensitivity percentage of 66%, 55% and 33% in relation to ketoconazole, fluconazole and itraconazole, respectively. The T. mentagrophytes species presented sensitivity percentages of 11%, 11%, 33% and 55% for amphotericin B, itraconazole, ketoconazole and fluconazole, respectively. Conclusion: There was resistance in vitro of the species of T. mentagrophytes and T. tonsurans against the antifungal fluconazole and relative resistance against ketoconazole in the AD method. In BM, however, important percentages of sensitivity were observed for the two species analyzed in relation to the antifungals fluconazole and ketoconazole when compared to itraconazole and amphotericin B.
Vestibular Nerve in Meniere's Disease

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Biopsy specimens of vestibular nerves of 40 patients with severe Meniere's disease were studied by microscopy. In 17 patients, a translabyrinthine eighth nerve transection was done; in 23 patients, a middle fossa vestibular neurectomy was done. Many of the nerve fibers had thickened and deformed myelin coats; some were thinly myelinated fibers and some showed degraded myelin. No macrophages were present. Occasional vestibular ganglion cells had thin myelin coats. In six patients, there were lighter areas between the fibers. In these there were roughly parallel astrocyte processes, with numerous cytoplasmic filaments. The light areas were surrounded by a basement membrane. Four of these patients showed continuation of vertiginous symptoms after operation and were not helped by surgery. These patients may suffer from a neuropathy that is different from the more common causes of Meniere's disease.
Investigation of Pore Structures in Shallow Longmaxi Shale, South China, via Large-Area Electron Imaging and Neutron Scattering Techniques

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

Pore structures are significant for evaluating shale gas production since they not only control gas capacity but also affect hydraulic fracturing. In this study, we investigated the pore structures of Longmaxi (LMX) shale samples from a shallow drill core in Guizhou Province, China, with large-area electron imaging and neutron scattering. Pores related to the mineral matrix and organic matter (OM) were identified, and the former had greater impacts on the pore shape and porosity, which would enhance fracturing. Large-area electron imaging analysis (with 15 nm resolution) indicated that the majority of LMX shale porosity was contributed by nanopores with diameters smaller than 400 nm. According to the neutron scattering data, micropores and mesopores dominated the pore size distribution (PSD), and pores within cross sections cut perpendicular to the bedding showed preferential orientation accompanied by larger porosity. The porosity (4.6–5.6%) calculated from neutron scattering data was approximately 2 times larger than that calculated from imaging data, suggesting that nanopores smaller than 15 nm contributed more to the porosity than those larger than 100 nm, as they were more resistant to compaction. This study indicated that pore types were controlled by minerals as well as thermal maturity, while PSDs were affected by tectonic movements. The majority of porosity originated from micropores and mesopores, which confirmed the great potential for shale gas reserves in the LMX shale. This conclusion is helpful for building a shale porosity model and eventually improving the reserve assessment.
A Comparison of Spontaneous Tumor Incidence in Charles River Sprague Dawley Rats and Wistar Hannover Rats

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

The Crl:CD(SD) Sprague Dawley rat and the Crl:WI(Han) Wistar Hannover (Wistar Han) rat are two outbred rat models commonly used in 2-year carcinogenicity testing. In this presentation, the spontaneous incidences of common, rare, and fatal neoplasms in the two models in 2-year carcinogenicity studies were compared from 51 Sprague Dawley rat studies and 31 Wistar Han rat studies that were completed from 2016 to 2023. All Wistar Han rat studies completed the intended 104 weeks of dosing, whereas 47 of the 51 Sprague Dawley rat studies were terminated early in both sexes or terminated early in one sex. The incidence of total spontaneous neoplasms was greater in Sprague Dawley rats when compared to Wistar Han rats of either sex, with the greatest incidence found in female Sprague Dawley rats (95.93%). Of palpable masses that corresponded to neoplasms, approximately 85–90% of masses were mammary tumors in females of either strain, while a similar percentage of masses corresponded to skin tumors in male rats of either strain. Common fatal tumors included pituitary adenoma of the pars distalis, carcinoma of the pars distalis, mammary adenocarcinoma, and mammary fibroadenoma, and were found at a lower incidence in Wistar Han rats; where calculable, the onset of these neoplasms was earlier in Sprague Dawley rats.
A tentative tracking model based on energy balance criteria

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

A tentative mathematical model is described for estimating the time required for tracking to occur in rotating wheel water-spray or dip tests on polymeric insulating materials. The model is based on the energy balance criterion. In the derivation of the model, the required time for tracking to occur is treated as a function of the geometrical dimensions, the thermal characteristics and the volume and surface conductivities of the specimen. It is also considered to be dependent upon the applied voltage, wheel speed as well as the time required for arcing to occur, the discharge activity and the number of dry bands formed upon the surface of the specimen. The validity of the model is assessed, using experimental data obtained with epoxy fibre glass composite specimens; reasonable agreement is found between the experimental results and the calculated values.
Proportional and linear constancy in a repetitive speech production task

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Speech production studies have shown local temporal stabilities in intergestural timing and in its acoustic consequences [e.g., Kent and Moll, JSHR (1975)], such that the absolute duration of certain speech events is remarkably constant over differences in speech rate. Other production studies examining longer stretches of speech have found event durations to be proportionally constant with respect to a larger frame. Proportional constancy is especially apparent in repetitive production tasks [Cummins and Port, J. Phon. (1998)]. This paper examines how absolute constancy, such as would be specified by segmental contrasts, and proportional constancy interact in a repetitive speech task. Speakers repeated linguistically specified syllables in time to a metronome which specified repetition rate. Rates were varied by a factor of 2.7. Durations of speech events which indicate segmental contrasts, such as voice onset time in onset stops, remain fairly constant over these large changes in speech rate. Other durations, such as vowel durations in open syllables, often show proportional constancy. Vowel durations before coda stops, where duration acts as a secondary cue to consonant voicing, often exhibit linear constancy, suggesting a difference in the degree to which linear linguistic factors restrict how speakers perform a repetitive task.
A review on phytochemical and pharmacological activities of some ethnomedical plants used by tribal and folk peoples of AndhraPradesh in animal health care

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

Folk people are the main natives of the countryside and forests. They are always being much closed to nature. They are fully dependent on their surroundings for their basic needs. Even during diseased conditions, they mainly rely on the use of traditional medicines available in their surroundings. They believe in trees as God and use their products for their wellbeing. They have full belief in nature and their belongings. They utilized locally available plants and other natural materials for the treatment of several diseases. But this knowledge of traditional medicines is found to be confined only up to tribes and folk people of the society. Thus, it is required that such useful knowledge about indigenous medicines should be documented, popularized, and systematized for the welfare of human society. The present paper is an effort to reveal the importance of ethno medicines for tribes as well as the whole society.

The Importance of Saccular Function to Motor Development in Children with Hearing Impairments

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Children with hearing deficits frequently have delayed motor development. The purpose of this study was to evaluate saccular function in children with hearing impairments using the Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potential (VEMP). The impact of the saccular hypofunction on the timely maturation of normal balance strategies was examined using the Movement Assessment Battery for Children (Movement ABC). Thirty-three children with bilateral severe/profound hearing impairment between 4 and 7 years of age were recruited from a three-state area. Approximately half of the sample had one or bilateral cochlear implants, one used bilateral hearing aids, and the rest used no amplification. Parents reported whether the hearing impairment was diagnosed within the first year or after 2 years of age. No VEMP was evoked in two thirds of the hearing impaired (HI) children in response to the bone-conducted stimulus. Children who were reportedly hearing impaired since birth had significantly poorer scores when tested with the Movement ABC.
