Predictive models of employee voluntary turnover in a North American professional sales force using data-mining analysis

&lt;p&gt;With the supply of talented employees for the predicted available jobs around the world declining, employee retention and voluntary turnover have jumped to the forefront of HRD practitioners&amp;rsquo;, as well as senior managers&amp;rsquo;, strategic initiative. By 2008, demographers predict that 76 million baby boomers will be eligible for retirement. The generations that followed these individuals, born between 1946 and 1962, are not numerically adequate to fill the vacancies that these retirements will create. A growing concern exists that the expected annual growth in the number of eligible employees will be outpaced by economic growth predictions. While employee retention and employee voluntary turnover have received considerable scholarly attention, few research studies have examined the phenomenon in a professional sales arena. No investigation to date has tracked employee voluntary turnover and retention over a 14-year longitudinal wave as was the focus of this study. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; This population study examined employee retention of a Fortune 500 North American industrial automation manufacturer&amp;rsquo;s professional sales force over a 14-year period. It focused on personal characteristics, work characteristics, and human resource development (HRD) intervention factors influencing employee voluntary turnover. The results suggest that training and development participation contributes more significantly to employee retention than salary and job title promotions to the firm&amp;rsquo;s ability to retain sales professionals.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; The theoretical underpinnings associated with these findings reinforce the importance of human capital theory, social identity theory, expectancy theory, and distributive justice theory. They also suggest that employee retention should be included in calculations that measure the return on investment for training and development interventions. Further, these results that emerged from comprehensive data mining suggest that a structured training and development program embeds aspects of employee socialization that can influence a professional sales employee&amp;rsquo;s tenure in the organization. Formal training can serve to socialize the employee into the organization, thus, deepening the effect of social capital theory to build normative organizational commitment, a mediator of employee retention. This effect appeared to be more significant for non-Caucasian sales professionals who remained in the organization when included in a structured sales training program. &lt;/p&gt;

Mythopoesis or Fiction as Mode of Existence: Three Case Studies from Contemporary Art

This article explores a trend in some British contemporary art towards ‘fictioning’, when this names not only the blurring of the reality/fiction boundary, but also, more generally, the material instantiation – or performance – of fictions within the real. It attends to three practices of this fiction as mode of existence: sequencing and nesting (Mike Nelson); the deployment ‘fabulous images’ and intercessors (Brian Catling); and more occult technologies and an idea of the ‘invented life’ (Bonnie Camplin). The article also attends to the mythopoetic or ‘world-making’ aspect of these practices and the way this can involve recourse to other times, past and future. Mythopoesis also involves a sense of collective enunciation and, with that, a concomitant disruption of the more dominant fiction of the self.

Social support and religiosity as predictor psychological well-being among college students

Psychological well-being refers to positive mental health for college students, but psychological problems cause decreased psychological well-being. Numerous studies indicate social support and religiosity are essential for maintaining psychological well-being for college students. This study aimed to analyze the contribution of social support and religiosity to psychological well-being among college students. Data were obtained using the scale of social support, the scale of religiosity, and the scale of psychological well-being. The subjects of this study were 350 college students in Universitas Negeri Malang, East Java, Indonesia. The method of data analysis used was multiple regression. Analysis results show that the psychological well-being of college students influenced social support and religiosity but social support had more influence than religiosity. Thus, social support and religiosity are needed by college students to improve psychological well-being, more specifically for social support.

Wars of National Liberation II

It is sometimes suggested that nuclear weapons technology has made the world safe for “wars of national liberation.” I don't happen to accept this proposition, but I do acknowledge that “wars of national liberation” are a prominent part of both the declaratory and action policies of the Communist world. The free world does not have the option of declining to respond to such wars. This is sufficient reason for attempts to assay the ethical issues they raise. Wars of liberation have been called “political wars.” I assume two different things are intended by this: on the one hand, that they have a larger political component than other wars in that they do emphasize or circumvent some of the more typical military missions such as seizing and holding territory; on the other hand, as compared with nuclear war, they seem more nearly to be. compatible with Clausewitx's dictum that war is a continuation of policy. There are difficulties with both notions, but I do acknowledge that wars of liberation are intimately related to the political purposes of their sponsors and that they do generally employ means aimed directly at political power and try to postpone or avoid military engagements as the determinants of their outcome.

Geochemical evidence for contribution of ore-forming materials from peraluminous granite basement Taking Fucheng pluton and No. 6722 uranium deposit in southern Jiangxi Province as examples

Using the induced fission-track method, mobile uranium leaching and lead isotope analysis, this work obtianed geochemical features of the peraluminous Fucheng granite basement and the host rock (shoshonite) of the No. 6722 uranium deposit in southern Jiangxi Province. (i) Uranium contents of the leucocratic rock-forming minerals (0.18 mg/g for quartz, 0.36 mg/g for feldspar) are lower than the uranium content of the whole rock (4.6 mg/g). Biotite and some ac-cessory mineral inclusions (zircon, monazite and uraninite) are the main uranium carriers of the Fucheng granite pluton. The fissure uranium in altered minerals (hydromica and chlorite) increased evidently. (ii) Leachable rate of mobile uranium in the biotite granite is 10.4%, while that in the al-tered granite increased to 31%. (iii) Caculation based on lead isotopes shows that during alteration the Fucheng granite lost uranium (DU = -37% — -65%), whereas the Caotaobei shoshonite gained uranium (DU = +37%— +58%). These features suggest that the ore-forming material of the No. 6722 uranium deposit was mainly derived from the altered peraluminous granite basement of Fucheng pluton.

Sex Differences in Laterality Are Associated with Reproduction in Threespine Stickleback

AbstractLaterality, the partitioning of information processing into specific brain hemispheres, is widespread across animal taxa. Substantial unexplained variation in this trait exists, particularly between the sexes, despite multiple identified advantages of lateralization. Here, we demonstrate a relationship among laterality (measured as directional biases), reproduction, and experience of mating and parenting. Using threespine sticklebacks (<i>Gasterosteus aculeatus</i>), a species with uniparental male care, we showed that individuals of the caring sex (males) were more strongly lateralized than the noncaring sex (females) during reproduction and that laterality was reduced outside the breeding season in males. Additionally, males with experience of mating and parenting were more strongly lateralized than males without this experience. Our findings suggest that fitness-related behaviors that vary between the sexes, such as reproductive behaviors including courtship, spawning, and parenting, are significant but previously unidentified sources of variation in laterality.

Analytical Evaluation and Antioxidant Activity of Selected Vegetable Oils to Support Evidence-Based use in Dermal Products

Objective This study presents an analytical and biological evaluation of selected vegetable oils and their unsaponifiable compounds, which are of crucial importance for the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries, with the aim of ensuring their targeted use in dermal products. Methods Vegetable oils were selected based on their dominant fatty acid composition: pomegranate seed oil (punicic acid), linseed oil (α-linolenic acid), coconut oil (lauric acid), olive oil (oleic acid), poppy seed oil (linoleic acid), linden seed oil (linoleic acid), and marigold seed oil (α-calendic acid). Pharmacopoeial chemical values, fatty acid profiles, and unsaponifiable compounds were analysed. Antioxidant activity was measured using DPPH assay. Results Chemical values indicated good oxidative status and minimal hydrolysis. Fatty acid analysis revealed expected compositions, with rare linden and marigold seed oils exhibiting distinctive fatty acid composition, featuring sterculic and α-calendic acids. Marigold seed oil showed the richest profile of unsaponifiable compounds. Antioxidant activity was highest in olive oil and lowest in coconut oil. No significant correlation was found between the fatty acid composition, unsaponifiable matter, and antioxidant activity suggesting the synergistic or antagonistic interactions of oil components. Conclusion The study highlights the complex interactions among oil components that influence antioxidant activity. These findings deepen the understanding of the complex mechanisms determining the antioxidant properties of vegetable oils, crucial for informed decisions in dermal product formulation as demand for natural, effective cosmetic and pharmaceutical ingredients rises.

The Effects of Posture on Mind Wandering

Abstract: Using two executive tasks, we explored how body posture influences mind wandering, a universal internally self-generated activity. Specifically, participants were instructed to perform the Sustained Attention Response Task (SART) and the Flanker task under three postural conditions: lying supine, sitting, and standing upright. These tasks reflect the proactive and reactive modes of executive control, respectively. To measure the frequency of mind wandering, we employed the probe-caught technique, presenting prompts at irregular intervals. The results indicate that, compared to standing and sitting positions, lying supine significantly increased mind wandering, while posture had no effect on either measure of executive control. We suggest that changes in posture alter cognitive activity related to self-generated thoughts and external tasks, whereas the relationship between mind wandering and executive control requires further research.

The role of blockchain technology for transparency in the fashion supply chain

The fashion industry is one of the most challenging sectors for sustainable development, comprising numerous social and environmental challenges. The industry is based on a complex network of global and fragmented supply chains leading to a lack of transparency. Therefore, transparency and supply chain traceability are core priorities in order to increase the fashion supply chain visibility and enable accountability. A potential solution to this issue is the application of new technologies. Blockchain is an emerging technology that has a potential to address the current issues and make supply chain processes more transparent.&#13;\nThe combination of the emerging blockchain technology with the concept of transparency in fashion supply chains constitutes the novelty of the research and the contribution to the current body of knowledge. The environmental and social challenges regarding transparency in fashion supply chains are analysed using the theories for Green Supply Chain Management and supply chain power structures. The study relies on interviews with blockchain professionals and industry experts in supply chains and sustainable fashion.&#13;\nThe study finds that blockchain has the potential to become the single source of truth for the fashion supply chain and provide transparency across the supply chain. However, this advancement of transparency can only occur in a less complex fashion supply chain with a balanced power structure and more collaboration than the current standard.

[Mermithids as biological control agents of blackflies].

About 80 species of mermithids parasitic in blackflies have been recorded from the Ethiopian and Holarctic regions. Species of three genera, Mesomermis, Gastromermis and Isomermis, are most common parasites of blackflies. Critical periods during the ontogenesis of all mermithids are associated with the penetration of infective larvae into the host and protective reactions of the later. Intraspecific hybridization of the parasites is recommended in order to increase the effectiveness of mermithids as agents of biological control of blackflies.

The obscured hyper-energetic GRB 120624B hosted by a luminous compact galaxy at z=2.20

Context. Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are the most luminous explosions that we can witness in the Universe. Studying the most extreme cases of these phenomena allows us to constrain the limits for the progenitor models.&#13;\nAims. In this Letter, we study the prompt emission, afterglow, and host galaxy of GRB 120624B, one of the brightest GRBs detected by Fermi, to derive the energetics of the event and characterise the host galaxy in which it was produced.&#13;\nMethods. Following the high-energy detection we conducted a multi-wavelength follow-up campaign, including near-infrared imaging from HAWKI/VLT, optical from OSIRIS/GTC, X-ray observations from the Chandra X-ray Observatory and at submillimetre/millimetre wavelengths from SMA. Optical/NIR spectroscopy was performed with X-shooter/VLT.&#13;\nResults. We detect the X-ray and NIR afterglow of the burst and determine a redshift of z = 2.1974 ± 0.0002 through identification of emission lines of [O ii], [O iii] and H-α from the host galaxy of the GRB. This implies an energy release of Eiso,γ = (3.0 ± 0.2) × 1054 erg, amongst the most luminous ever detected. The observations of the afterglow indicate high obscuration with AV &gt; 1.5. The host galaxy is compact, with R1/2 &lt; 1.6 kpc, but luminous, at L ~ 1.5 L∗ and has a star formation rate of 91 ± 6 M⊙/yr as derived from Hα.&#13;\nConclusions. As for other highly obscured GRBs, GRB 120624B is hosted by a luminous galaxy, which we also prove to be compact, with very intense star formation. It is one of the most luminous host galaxies associated with a GRB, showing that the host galaxies of long GRBs are not always blue dwarf galaxies, as previously thought.

Analytical Knowledge Management for Tourist Destinations

The purpose of this study was to explore important analytical knowledge by tourist destinations. Types of knowledge are explored and examples of analytical knowledge are presented. Both qualitative and quantitative methods were used to explore and compare the important analytical knowledge by destinations. It was found that each destination type has unique environment in the managerial and marketing perspectives, and consequently, perceived important knowledge is different. Thus, efforts to create important analytical knowledge should be destination specific and the resources' allocation for the knowledge creation, storage, and reuse should consider destination-specific knowledge needs.

Exchange interactions in Cu2AlBO5 and Cu2GaBO5

Single crystals of ludwigite Cu2MeBO5 (Me=Al, Ga) were synthesized by flux growth technique. The calculations of the exchange integrals in frameworks of indirect coupling model revealed that monoclinic distortions strongly affect exchange interactions. We have performed electron spin resonance (ESR) measurements for untwined single crystals of Cu2MeBO5 (Me=Al, Ga). The observed anisotropy of the ESR linewidth result from the one-dimensional chain like structure of Cu2MeBO5 (Me=Al, Ga) and the anisotropic exchange interactions between Cu ions, respectively.

Murder at Small Koppie: The real story of the Marikana Massacre

The killing of thirty-four miners by police at Marikana in August 2012 was the largest massacre of civilians in South Africa since Sharpeville. The events have been covered in newspaper articles, on TV news and in a commission of inquiry, but there is still confusion about what happened on that fateful day. In Murder at Small Koppie, renowned photojournalist Greg Marinovich explores the truth behind the Marikana massacre. He investigates the shootings near Wonderkop hill, which happened in view of the media, as well as the killings that happened beyond the view of cameras at a nondescript collection of boulders known as Small Koppie, some 300 metres away. Many of the men killed here were shot in cold blood at close range. Drawing on his own meticulous research, eyewitness accounts and the findings of the Marikana Commission of Inquiry, Marinovich accurately reconstructs that fateful day as well as the events leading up to the strike, and looks at the subsequent denials, obfuscation and buck-passing by Lonmin, the SAPS and the government. This is the definitive account of the Marikana massacre from the journalist whose award-winning investigation into the tragedy has been called the most important piece of South African journalism since apartheid.

Integration of RCR and Ethics Education into Course-Based Undergraduate Research Experiences in the Biological Sciences: A Needed Discussion

Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) have been identified as a promising vehicle to broaden novices’ participation in authentic scientific opportunities. While recent studies in the bioeducation literature have focused on the influence of CUREs on cognitive and non-cognitive student outcomes (e.g., attitudes and motivation, science process skills development), few investigations have examined the extent to which the contextual features inherent in such experiences affect students’ academic and professional growth. Central among these factors is that of ethics and the responsible conduct of research (RCR)—essential cornerstones of the scientific enterprise. In this article, we examine the intersectionality of ethics/RCR instruction within CURE contexts through a critical review of existing literature that details mechanisms for the integration of ethics/RCR education into undergraduate laboratory experiences in the science domains. Building upon this foundation, we propose a novel, evidence-based framework that seeks to illustrate posited interactions between core ethics/RCR principles and unique dimensions of CUREs. It is our intent that this framework will inform and encourage open dialogue around an often-overlooked aspect of CURE instruction—how to best prepare ethically responsible scholars for entrance into the global scientific workforce.

The institution of attempt is used relatively frequently in the practice of justice system.Importantly, it always separates the punishable stage of attempt from punishable preparatory activities, and therefore constitutes the limit of criminalization. Despite its practical importance, using of the indicated legal structure, raises a number of doubts that are related to the proper interpretation of the normative concepts comprising it. A consequence is moving the limit of punishability of the crime by adjudicating authorities. It can raise some objections – from fundamental principle of criminal law inthe form of nullum crimen sine lege point of view. The article discusses the problems of that appear in jurisdiction in connection with the application of the attempt institution; these problems raise interest among doctrine. The author confronts irreconcilable judgments. The Author searches interpretative solutions that seem the most appropriate from theoretical and dogmatic structure of the successful attempt and inept attempt point of view.
