Job satisfaction and teamwork: the role of supervisor support

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Abstract The link between teamwork and job satisfaction was investigated in a sample of 48 manufacturing companies comprising 4708 employees. Two separate research questions were addressed. First, it was proposed that supervisor support would be a weaker source of job satisfaction in companies with higher levels of teamworking. Multilevel analysis indicated that the extent of teamwork at the company level of analysis moderated the relationship between individual perceptions of supervisor support and job satisfaction. Second, it was proposed that the extent of teamwork would be positively related to perceptions of job autonomy but negatively related to perceptions of supervisor support. Further, it was proposed that the link between teamwork and job autonomy would be explained by job enrichment practices associated with teamwork. Analyses of aggregated company data supported these propositions and provided evidence for a complex mediational path between teamwork and job satisfaction. Implications for implementing teamwork in organizations are discussed. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Endometrial Cancer and Lynch Syndrome: Clinical and Pathologic Considerations

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background Approximately 2% to 5% of endometrial cancers may be due to an inherited susceptibility. Lynch syndrome, also known as hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) syndrome, an autosomal-dominant inherited cancer susceptibility syndrome caused by a germline mutation in one of the DNA mismatch repair genes, accounts for the majority of inherited cases. Lynch syndrome is associated with early onset of cancer and the development of multiple cancer types, particularly colon and endometrial cancer. Methods The current status of knowledge regarding Lynch syndrome-associated endometrial cancer and methods for diagnosis, screening, and prevention of cancers is reviewed. Results The lifetime cumulative risk of endometrial cancer for women with Lynch syndrome is 40% to 60%, which equals or exceeds their risk of colorectal cancer. No current evidence suggests either a survival advantage or disadvantage to endometrial cancer that is associated with Lynch syndrome when these cases are compared with sporadic cases. A combination of family and personal medical history and tumor testing provides an efficient basis for diagnosing Lynch syndrome in women with endometrial cancer. Current gynecologic cancer screening guidelines for women with Lynch syndrome include annual endometrial sampling and transvaginal ultrasonography beginning at age 30 to 35 years. Conclusions Diagnosing endometrial cancer patients with Lynch syndrome has important clinical implications for the individual and family members. Screening and prevention practices can decrease the likelihood of developing additional cancers.
[Anaesthetic management of pediatric renal transplantation for chronic renal failure].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

We evaluated the preoperative and intraoperative general condition of 33 pediatric kidney recipients. Eighteen patients were anaesthetized with lumbar epidural anaesthesia. Ten patients were with nitrous oxide-oxygen-halothane, 5 cases were with NLA. Preoperatively many children had cardiovascular and metabolic complications. For example 39% of patients had history of hypertension. Sixty-seven percent of patients were found to have cardiomegaly (cardio-thoracic ratio > 50%) with chest X-ray film. Seven of 9 patients undergoing echocardiogram had abnormality of cardiac wall motion, valvular impairment, pericardial effusion. In forty-eight percent of patients, hyperlipidemia was found. During operation we could not maintain the cardiovascular stability following intratracheal intubation and manipulation of vena cava or abdominal aorta under NLA or nitrous oxide-oxygen-halothane anesthesia. Epidural analgesia inhibited the cardiovascular fluctuation following these surgical stresses. We concluded that epidural analgesia is the best anaesthesia for pediatric renal transplantation and phentolamine or PGE1 are useful to maintain cardiovascular stability and transplanted kidney function.
Sylos Labini su Marx: implicazioni per la politica economica

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

<p>This article considers Sylos Labini’s works on Marx (Sylos Labini, 1991; 1994). It places the Italian economist’s assessment of Marx in the context of the former’s wider economic production (both previous and subsequent to the 1991 article) and the debate that followed his “Carlo Marx: è tempo di un bilancio”. Such article, written right after the fall of Berlin’s Wall, attempted at developing a fair assessment of Marx’s thought, seen as one of the most important Classical economists and, from many points of view, a precursor of Keynes. Sylos Labini criticised Marx’s political position and what Sylos perceived as his “unethical behaviour”. On the contrary, he held Marx the economist in great regard.</p><p><strong>JEL Codes: </strong>B24, B51, P50</p><p> </p>

Current ZP3-based immunocontraceptive vaccine for free ranging wild pest.

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

There is an overabundance of certain animal species that are considered as destructive and have reproductive control acts as a humane management of pest population. In particular, mammalian zona pellucida 3 (ZP3) has provoked a great interest as a potential antigen for immunocontraception. High levels of long-term infertility have been achieved in many species following ZP3-based immunization. This paper discusses the current updates on the ZP3-based immunocontraception for several major pest species of the world.
Ultrasonic Study of Dynamic Behavior of Jahn-Teller Distorted Cr2+ Centers in GaAs

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

The relaxation time, τ, for the reorientation of the <100>-tetragonal Jahn-Teller distorted Cr 2+ centers in GaAs was measured by ultrasonic method as a function of temperature. The center yielding the ultrasonic attenuation was identified to be Cr 2+ , based on the observed selection rule for the acoustic modes. The temperature dependence of 1/τ indicates that the relaxation in the temperature range below 20 K is ascribed not to the thermal activation process over the Jahn-Teller barrier but to the phonon-assisted tunnelings.
Flow image cytometry in vivo: the capability of high resolution transmission mode

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The high resolution (~350 nm) transmission digital microscopy (TDM) with increased speed is promising tool for in vivo image flow cytometry to real time identification of flowing cells in microlymphatics of rat mesentery without any contrast agents. The main mesenteric microstructures (lymph-vessel diameter, valve geometry, cells, etc.) and their dynamics (wall motion, valve function, cell velocity, etc.) were monitored with TDM. Depending on structure size, different magnifications were used to images of relatively large the whole lymphangion (x4 - x10) as well as to image single cells (x40 - x100) in lymph and blood flow including estimation of their shape, size and aggregation types. Different potential applications of the TDM in vivo are discussed including visualization of circulating of cells in lymph flow, study the kinetics of leukocytes and rare erythrocytes, as well as image absorbing nonfluorescent mesentery structures with high sensitivity and resolution.
Functioning Parathyroid Lipoadenoma. Report of Four Cases: Clinicopathological and Ultrasonographic Features.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Functioning parathyroid lipoadenoma (hamartoma) composed of abundant adipose or myxomatous stroma and epithelial cell nests is an unusual cause of primary hyperparathyroidism. We report herein four new cases. None of them belongs in the category of multiple endocrine neoplasia or familial hyperparathyroidism. The clinical manifestations and the laboratory findings are indistinguishable from those of the usual forms of primary hyperparathyroidism. Ultrasonography of the neck demonstrated an enlarged parathyroid gland as a hyperechoic mass in the two patients tested. At operation in each case, a single enlarged gland was found and resected, the weight being 3, 0.3, 0.45 and 1 g, respectively. The patients are normocalcemic 1 to 10 years after surgery. Pathological examination disclosed that the lesions were consistent with lipoadenoma or its variants. On reviewing 20 cases of functioning lipoadenoma which were reported in the literature, including the present cases, we found that the size of the tumors varied and a functioning lipoadenoma is hence by no means unusually large as previously reported. Without knowledge of this specific clinicopathologic entity, the lesion may be overlooked at the preoperative localization study and misdiagnosed as a normal or hyperplastic parathyroid.
Legal Obstacles in Shari’ah Corporate Governance of Islamic Financial Institutions in Malaysia العقبات القانونية في الحوكمة الشرعية للمؤسسات المالية الإسلامية في ماليزيا

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This paper was sent to be published in the Journal of King Abdulaziz University for Islamic Economics. Also, it was presented in different title in the Asia-Pacific Business Research Conference in Malysia, February 2011. The researchers highlighted the significant role of the Shari’ah corporate governance in the effectiveness and stability of Islamic financial Institutions in Malaysia. They outline the roles of corporate governance (in both conventional and Islamic corporations) through which it can be directed, administered and controlled. However, they argue that Shari’ah corporate governance has different perspective and methodology. The Shari’ah corporate governance primary is based on the tenets of Islam as the primary law and then on other positive laws, such as laws regulating the interest of the directors and the stakeholders. They described the structure of shari’ah corporate governance in Malaysia in order to emphasize and underscore some legal obstacles in the Shari’ah corporate governance and suggest some practical solutions to reform absence in the law. --
Circularly Polarized Light Enhancement by Helical Polysilane Aggregates Suspension in Organic Optofluids

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Circularly polarized (CP) light may play key roles in the migration and delocalization of photoexcited energy in optically active macroscopic aggregates of chiral chlorophylls surrounded by an aqueous fluid in the chloroplasts under incoherent unpolarized sunlight. Learning from the chiral fluid biosystem, we designed artificial polymer aggregates of three highly luminescent helical polysilanes, 1-S, 2-S, and 2-R (Chart 1). Under specific conditions (molecular weights and good-and-poor solvent ratio), 1-S aggregates with ∼5 μm in organic fluid generated an efficient circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) with gCPL = −0.7 at 330 nm while retaining a high quantum efficiency (ΦPL) ∼53% at room temperature under incoherent unpolarized photoexcitation at 290 nm. This huge gCPL value was the consequence of the intense bisignate circularly dichroism (CD) signals (gCD = −0.35 at 325 nm and +0.31 at 313 nm) due to coupled oscillators with electric-dipole-allowed-transition origin. Also, 2-S and 2-R aggregates gave almost identical intense CD and CPL amplitudes of 1-S. The most critical factors for the CD/CPL enhancements were the molecular weights of 1-S, 2-S, and 2-R and a refractive index of good/poor cosolvents. The former was connected to a long persistence length of ∼70 nm, characteristic of rod-like helical polysilanes. The latter was due to an efficient photoexcited energy confinement effect of slow CP-light in the aggregate.
Development of scatter reconstruction algorithms to 3-dimensional positron emission tomography

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

In 3-dimensional positron emission tomography (PET), the proportion of the detected photon coincidences arising from scatter can be very high, up to 60%. A standard approach to scatter correction in 3D PET is to estimate the scattered coincidences and subtract them from the list of recorded events. More recently, novel techniques have been proposed in which the information carried by the scattered photons was extracted and directly used in the image reconstruction step. In this work, the algorithms were extended for use in non-TOF 3D PET systems and were qualitatively and quantitatively evaluated. Despite some promising initial outcomes, standard performance metrics of images reconstructed with each technique, representing the quality of images, was shown to be deteriorated under specified conditions. Further work is required to investigate potential benefits of the proposed algorithms for both ideal and clinical conditions.
Imaging with large-aperture arrays with heterogeneous directive elements

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

We have developed a new imaging algorithm for optimization of the contrast resolution of large-aperture arrays utilizing directive elements with heterogeneous responses. The algorithm employs depth-dependant pre- and post-beamforming filtering to optimize the SNR of the echo data throughout the imaging field. Sub-aperture processing is also employed to maximize the coherence of the echo data, both with respect to tissue aberrations and element heterogeneity. Pre-beamforming and sub-aperture processing leads to significant reduction in imaging artifacts due to reverberations, a significant degradation factor due to the need for water standoff. Images of quality assurance phantoms as well as ex-vivo liver tissue were obtained using our concave (100 mm radius of curvature) 64-element 1 MHz dual-mode array (DMA) and a commercial scanner. The results show that the DMA has a 50 dB field-of-view (FOV) centered at its geometric focus. This FOV extends by 6 cm and 4 cm in the axial and lateral directions, respectively. In addition, the spatial and contrast resolutions of this DMA have been tested using wire targets and speckle cell size calculations and found to be consistent with the transducer bandwidth and aperture size.
Computational vamedecum of the coupled mechanical/thermal behavior of composite materials during ultrasonic welding

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Aiming faster and more reliable end products, the composite material in- dustry is nowadays an active research topic. Innovative composite forming processes are actively designed and tested. For example, ultrasonic welding of composite thermoplastic materials is being investigated, since it shows many advantages over classical methods. In fact, energy directors allow a preferential heating of the manufactured part through the propagation of mechanical waves in a composite laminate, without including any foreign material in the welded region. However, ultrasonic welding of composite materi- als is not mastered yet because of the coupled and complex behavior of such materials. Thus, simulation of ultrasonic heating becomes compulsory for understanding the complex multi-physics coupled problem. In this work, we propose to model the ultrasonic welding process using a dynamic vis- coelastic model in the frequency domain. Later on, this model is coupled to the transient heat equation, giving the temperature field as well as the heat flux in the simulated part. However, the result depends on the chosen experimental and material parameters such as the thickness of the part, its viscosity, its modulus of elasticity, the imposed frequency and displacement... Which makes the optimization of the process a tricky issue requiring a new set of solutions of the problem for each choice of the process parameters. Using the proper generalized decomposition (PGD), along with a coupled viscoelas- tic/thermal model, where all the parameters mentioned above are included as extra co- ordinates of the problem, appears to be a suitable solution for the optimization problem. Moreover, the PGD multidimensional solution considering all the process parameters as extra coordinates is obtained within a realistic timeframe. In fact, by using the PGD, we alleviate the curse of dimensionality since the PGD performs a separation of variables which reduces the problem dimensionality [1]. The result is therefore a computational vademecum that can be used to explore in real time the solution of the problem for any choice of the process parameters, speeding up its optimization [2].

The main objective of this paper is an investigation of consumers' preferences towards the consumption of dairy products. Data used in this paper are based on survey questionnaire sample of 500 examinees of Novi Sad population. Statistical method applied to obtained data is correspondence analysis method. This statistical technique enables determination of correspondence of modalities of selected factors, that are relevant in studying consumers' preferences in consumption of the selected dairy products (cheese and yoghurt). Along with detailled description of characteristics and possibilities of correspondence analysis as a powerful statistical technique, what is also going to be described in this paper is a detailed illustration of it's application, with special accent on advantages of two-dimensional graphical presentation 'biplot'. 'Biplot' enables clear insight in explanation of correspondence of modalities of two variables examining the percentage of total inertia explained, as well as a visual correspondence of modalities of two examined variables ('biplot'). What is also going to be mentioned in this paper are other (similar) techniques that are being used in similar studies, with the description of advantages of correspondence analysis compared with these techniques.
Visualized Social Network Analysis on Spatial Dynamics of International Trade between China and League of Arab States

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

China and Arabian countries keep profound trade relations along the history and at recent decays. In confronting with the dramatic change of geopolitical context nowadays, it will be urgent for Chinese decision makers to exam the opportunities and/or risks of regional business preferences in the future through probing into the spatial dynamics of inter-trade with Arab members in the past years. By applying the social network analysis method and visualization tools of ArcGIS, the paper processes the bilateral trade data of related countries during 2001 and 2017. The initial findings show that about 84% percent of inter-trade volume comes from West Asian Arab members along the Persian Gulf; China is getting closer in trade relations with major LAS partners than LAS members themselves during the period, implying the logic of relational versus geographical proximity in between. Further research should be carried out in tackling with the forces and their mechanism that driving the trade spatial differentiation.

Methods Used by Sign Language Interpreters to Translate TV News Article Sentences into Sign Language

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The purpose of this study was to analyse how the sentence structures of television (TV) news can be translated into Korean sign language (KSL). This study examined the realization methods used by sign language interpreters to express an announcer’s uttered sentences in KSL. For this, TV news sentences and their sign language interpretation were collected from eight broadcasting companies and analysed through a comparison of spoken Korean and KSL. Simple sentences were realized in KSL though linear word order according to Korean word order, using sign language words that correspond with spoken Korean, or use of syntactic space as characteristics of sign language. Conjunct sentences were expressed by a short pause or KSL motion and the non-manual signals(NMSs), as well as KSL words such as {after, 후}, {next, 다음}, {when, 때}. Complex sentences were realized by a linear arrangement of the spoken Korean corresponding with the KSL lexicon, but the embedding sentences predicates were omitted according to the KSL interpreter’s arbitrary interpretation. In the future, research should be conducted on the relationships among the interpretation strategies that can be used the sentence structures and interpretation methods, as well as the equivalence of KSL interpretation to Korean sentences.
