Aligning job redesign with leadership training to improve supervisor support: a quasi-experimental study of the integration of HR practices

In this quasi-experimental study, we examine the alignment of a job redesign initiative with leadership training aimed at increasing supervisors' opportunities for providing support to employees. In addition, we examine intervention-mediated effects on climate for innovation through increases in perceived supervisor support. To test the hypothesized process, we used employee ratings (N = 524) of perceived supervisor support and climate for innovation collected at three time points over 2 years in the home help services in seven Swedish municipalities. Results of latent growth curve analyses showed that employees in the intervention group had a stronger and positive slope of perceived supervisor support relative to the comparison group. Further, the growth trajectories of perceived supervisor support were positively associated with climate for innovation at the 24-month follow-up. The study contributes to the human resource management literature by showing that alignment of employment practices such as training with work practices such as job redesign may be a promising strategy for achieving positive outcomes at multiple levels in organizations.

Federal Mandates by Popular Demand

This paper proposes a new framework for studying federal mandates regarding public policies in areas such as environmental quality, public health, highway safety, and the provision of local public goods. Voters have single-peaked preferences along a single policy dimension. There are two levels of government, federal and local. The federal level can constrain local policy by mandating a minimum (or maximum) policy. Localities are free to adopt any policy satisfying the constraint imposed by the federal mandate. We show that voters choose federal mandates that are too strict, which leads to excessively severe mandates. We show that similar results can obtain when federal provision of the public-provided good is more efficient than local provision.

Debt and climate: entangled emergencies derailing women’s rights and gender justice

As a new debt crisis is hitting the global South, aggravated by the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, governments and economies will face growing difficulties and challenges to deal with climate emergencies, adaptation, and mitigation. As we have seen in the past, debt crises tend to have a negative impact on women’s rights and gender equality, mainly through the implementation of austerity measures. Additionally, the climate emergency also has specific negative impacts on women’s rights and gender justice. The article explores the cumulative impacts on women of debt and austerity dynamics on one side, and climate crisis on the other. Also it proposes responses to the economic, social, and environmental crisis we are living, that address both debt and climate risks in a comprehensive, systemic, and feminist approach.

Evidence for regulation of growth, size and pattern in the developing chick limb bud

ABSTRACT This paper examines the hypothesis that the developing chick limb bud has mechanisms for regulating the control of growth, size and pattern. The tests included: surgical removal of selected parts of the limb field, X-irradiation, temperature shock and the manipulation of known limb organizer regions (removal of the apical ectodermal ridge, or the addition of an extra zone of polarizing activity). The results strongly support the idea that there are regulatory mechanisms controlling both the pattern and the size of the limb and suggest that they involve regulation of the growth rate via control of cell division throughout the embryonic period. Possible mechanisms are discussed.

[Expression of co-stimulatory molecules in peripheral blood of patients with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura in relation with platelet antibodies].

This study was aimed to detect the expression of co-stimulatory molecules CD80, CD86 and CD137 in peripheral blood of patients with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), the content of platelet antibodies in serum (PAIgG), and to analyze the relationship between them and their correlation with the number of platelet in peripheral blood, so as to clarify the roles of co-stimulatory molecules in pathogenesis of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura and evaluation of disease status. The co-stimulatory molecules CD80, CD86 and CD137 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMNCs) of 48 ITP patients and 40 normal persons were detected by immunofluorescence and flow cytometry (FACS), PAIgG content in serum was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The results showed that CD80, CD86 and CD137 expression levels in ITP patients were (4.92 +/- 2.02)%, (8.68 +/- 4.25)%, (5.32 +/- 2.67)% respectively, PAIgG content was 210 +/- 3.02 ng/10(7) PA, all these of which were significantly higher than these in normal control group (2.01 +/- 0.75)%, (4.56 +/- 2.06)%, (1.37 +/- 1.25)%, PAIgG 20 +/- 1.13 ng/10(7) PA (p < 0.01). Correlation of co-stimulatory molecule expression with PAIgG content were positive (r = 0.302, p < 0.05), but correlation of co-stimulatory molecule expression with platelet number was negative (r = -0.369, p < 0.05). It is concluded that the co-stimulatory molecules CD80, CD86 and CD137 are involved in immune response and the incidence of ITP. Their over-expression closely associates with the pathogenesis of ITP and clinical status, so that correcting the abnormal expression and regulating the immune status may be one therapeutic strategy and have important clinical significance.

Results of photorefractive keratectomy for high Myopia in Noor Clinic of Tehran

Many studies have shown the effectiveness of photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) in correction of vision in low and moderate Myopia. To evaluate the results of 193-nm exeimer laser photorefractive keratectomy for highly Myopic eyes, we reviewed refractive outcome of 43 eyes of 30 patients. Most eyes were treated with 1-step operation, using a 6 mm optical zone. 43 eyes were treated for Myopia, which were between -6.40 and -16.90 diopters. The mean pre-operative refraction was -9.50 D. All eyes were followed for at least 12 months. At 12tht month visit, 30.2% and 60.5% of eyes achieved correction within 1 and 2 D of attempted correction, respectively. At this time, 62.7% of eyes obtained 20/40 visual acuity or better uncorrected. At 1 year, 13% and 8% of eyes lost 3 and 4 lines of best-corrected visual acuity, respectively. Also 13% of eyes lost 2 lines. 12 months after PRK, 5 eyes developed corneal haze grade 2 and 2 eyes, grade 3 (0-5 scale). There was much undercorrection seen in this group compared with patients undergoing PRK for low and moderate Myopia. Photorefractive keratectomy for high Myopia, though effective, is not a safe and accurate procedure and is less predictable and stable than performing it for low and moderate Myopia.

Auto-Query - A simple natural language to SQL query generator for an e-learning platform

Despite its difficulties, SQL is an essential tool for the users in an educational organisation who need quick and easy access to data to gauge the reception of their learning content by their students and potentially improve their content depending on the insights. To get these insights, the course instructors need real-time access to the database and also need to have relevant SQL knowledge to operate the database to retrieve the required data. The study explores ways to mitigate the difficulties of SQL by developing an application that takes natural language questions that the course instructors have and convert them into SQL queries using a sequence-to-sequence model that show them the data they asked for on a dashboard. The study found that there was a drastic reduction in the time it took for the users of the e-learning platform to get the data from the database without waiting for support from the database administrators. This in turn empowered the educators to study the data and get insights into the reception and working of the course and make suitable changes if necessary which might enhance the user experience for their students.

Polarization Field and Molecular Order in Nematic Liquid Crystals

Abstract In a nematic medium, as a result of the anisotropic distribution of the molecules, the average local electric field is of the form E+ γP, where E is the applied field, P the polarization, and γ is a factor which is different for the directions parallel and perpendicular to the optic axis. For the nematic medium, the Neugebauer's relation is valid. Here, ns and no are the principal refractive indices, N the number of molecules per unit volume and αe and αo are respectively the effective average polarizabilities along the optic axis and perpendicular to it. For the crystalline phase wherein the long axes of the molecules are parallel, a similar relation is there connecting the principal indices with α∥ and α⊥ the polarizabilities along the long axis and perpendicular to it. Using these relations along with the Lorenz-Lorentz relation for the liquid phase αe, αo, α∥, α⊥ and the γ and S-factors are calculated for PAA and PAP for different wavelengths and temperatures from the latest refractive index data of Germain. The values of γ and S are consistent. The S-factors are in good agreement with the values reported previously by Chandrasekhar and Madhusudana. The anisotropic molecular distribution in these compounds, as deduced from the values of γ, is discussed.

The CH···HC interaction in biphenyl is a delocalized, molecular‐wide and entirely non‐classical interaction: Results from FALDI analysis

Abstract In this study we aim to determine the origin of the electron density describing a CH···HC interaction in planar and twisted conformers of biphenyl. In order to achieve this, the fragment, atomic, localized, delocalized, intra‐ and inter‐atomic (FALDI) decomposition scheme was utilized to decompose the density in the inter‐nuclear region between the ortho ‐hydrogens in both conformers. Importantly, the structural integrity, hence also topological properties, were fully preserved as no 'artificial' partitioning of molecules was implemented. FALDI‐based qualitative and quantitative analysis revealed that the majority of electron density arises from two, non‐classical and non‐local effects: strong overlap of ortho CH σ‐bonds, and long‐range electron delocalization between the phenyl rings and ortho carbons and hydrogens. These effects resulted in a delocalized electron channel, that is, a density bridge or a bond path in a QTAIM terminology, linking the H‐atoms in the planar conformer. The same effects and phenomena are present in both conformers of biphenyl. We show that the CH···HC interaction is a molecular‐wide event due to large and long‐range electron delocalization, and caution against approaches that investigate CH···HC interactions without fully taking into account the remainder of the molecule.

Plasma and urine levels produced by an oral dose of ampicillin 0.5 g administered to women taking oral contraceptives

Abstract. Earlier studies have shown that ampicillin produces 50% lower—and therefore very likely less adequate—plasma levels in pregnant than in nonpregnant women. The present investigation compares levels of ampicillin in plasma and urine produced by a single oral dose administered to 10 healthy women taking oral contraceptives on the 21st and on the 28th day of the menstruation cycle. Plasma levels of ampicillin were lower on the 21st day than on the 28th, i.e. a difference in the same direction as between pregnant and nonpregnant women although the difference was not significant. Contrary to what was found for pregnant women the dose of ampicillin to women taking oral contraceptives does not have to be doubled in order to compensate for lower plasma levels.

Polyacrylamide-Lithium\nChloride-MXene Based Conductive\nHydrogel as Stretchable Strain Sensor and Triboelectric Nanogenerator

In\nrecent years, hydrogels have exhibited attractive applications\nin electronic skin, wearable sensors, and energy harvesters owing\nto their flexibility, stretchability, conductivity, and biocompatibility.\nIn this work, we present a conductive and stretchable hydrogel by\ncombining chemically cross-linked polyacrylamide (PAM) as the primary\nreagent, lithium chloride (LiCl) as the ionic salt, and MXene as a\nhighly electronegative two-dimensional conductive nanocomposite. The\nmechanical properties of the hydrogel, including stretchability and\ncompressibility, are improved by tuning the volume of MXene during\npreparation of the hydrogel. A soft and stretchable wearable sensor\nis then fabricated by encapsulating the PAM-LiCl-MXene (PLM) hydrogel\nwith two self-adhesive poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) films. The\nsensor offers a high fracture elongation of 1215%, excellent fracture\nstrength of 230 KPa, high sensitivity (GF = 9.6), and high response\nstability (1000 loading–unloading cycles), enabling the detection\nof human motions with high durability and reproducibility. In addition\nto its application as wearable sensors, the PLM hydrogel is utilized\nto fabricate an energy harvester with a high open circuit voltage\n(&lt;i&gt;V&lt;/i&gt;&lt;sub&gt;OC&lt;/sub&gt;) of 180 V and a high short circuit\ncurrent (&lt;i&gt;I&lt;/i&gt;&lt;sub&gt;sc&lt;/sub&gt;) of 17.2 μA. This hydrogel’s\nability to both sense strain and harvest energy makes it as an excellent\ncandidate for a combined wearable sensor and energy harvester.

Messaging Behavior Modeling in Mobile Social Networks

Mobile social networks are gaining popularity with the pervasive use of mobile phones and other handheld devices. In these networks, users maintain friendship links, exchange short messages and share content with one another. In this paper, we study the user behaviors in mobile messaging and friendship linking using the data collected from a large mobile social network service known as myGamma (m.mygamma.com). We distinguish two types of user behaviors: soliciting active responses for an initiated message and responding to an incoming message. We propose various models for the two behaviors also known as engagingness and responsiveness. Our experiments show that the two behaviors are quite distinct from each other although they may be correlated. We also show that engaging and responsive users enjoy more friendships. Finally, we show that the engaging and responsive users participate more in messaging about major topics.

Sudanese Cinema: Past, Present and Future

Although the Sudanese Cinema started with the British colonization of Sudan, but it is still considered as undeveloped industry. The first film produced was Alarming Queen’s Company of Grenadier Guards in Omdurman Battle in 1898. The history of Cinema in Sudan could be categorized into three periods according to the colonization and present cituation: colonial (1898-1956), post-independence (Mid 1950s-Mid 1980s), and recent (Mid 1980s-2010) history. Films were produced under the supervision of the General Liaison Office of the British Government till 1949; then, the Sudan Film Unit (SFU) was established to serve and highlight the progress achieved by the government and to show the development of the British Empire. Similar units were installed in different parts of Africa with other names. The 1960s-1980s witnessed the emerging of Sudanese filmmakers, directors, actors and the most famous Sudanese films. The gradual collapse of Sudanese Cinema started in the mid-1980s. The paper also highlighted the pioneer Sudanese in filmmaking, directors, actors, producers, the essential feature films directed by Sudanese directors and their awards. Governmental and private institutions related to film production since 1898 and the role played by the USA, India, European and Arab countries in Sudanese Cinema were discussed. The present Challenges facing Cinema in Sudan and the deplorable state of cinema theaters were also documented. After the 2010s active private associations, independent filmmakers, young actors and armature, who are actively engaged in filmmaking, have been trying to revive the film industry in Sudan and design its future.

Reverse replication timing for the XIST gene in human fibroblasts

The timing of DNA replication appears to be an important epigenetic regulator of gene expression during development. Replication of active genes in expressing tissues occurs earlier than does replication of their inactive counterparts in nonexpressing tissues. This pattern is also observed for active and inactive alleles present in the same cell, as exemplified by genes subject to X chromosome inactivation in females. We find that the replication timing of the X-linked XIST gene in normal human fibroblasts provides a striking exception to this well-established pattern. Within the same cell, the expressed allele of XIST replicates late in S phase and the silent allele replicates early. This 'reverse' replication timing may have functional significance with respect to XIST or could be a passive consequence of the replication timing requirements of neighboring genes that are subject to X chromosome inactivation. Our finding of early replication for XIST in male fibroblasts contrasts with a report of late replication in such cells as determined by an in situ hybridization method [Torchia et al., (1994) Am. J. Hum. Genet. 55, 96-104]. We propose that our data and those obtained by the in situ method can be accommodated by the existence of structural features that differ between the silent and expressed alleles of XIST. Similar features may be important determinants of the replication asynchrony found by the in situ method for other genes subject to monoallelic expression.
