Orienting Human Resource Management to Serve University Commercialisation

The contribution of human resource management (HRM) to organisational performance is confirmed, yet there remains the challenge to understand how the configuration of HR practices leads to organisational outcomes. The objective of this research is to examine university commercialisation strategies and the HRM configurations that serve these strategies. Adopting the resource-based view and the notion of HR architecture, this thesis investigates how university commercialisation organisations (UCOs) create and shape a climate for commercialisation through human resource policies and practices, and how the employees perceive and appraise such climate. This qualitative study examined three UCOs in New Zealand and Australia and undertook 85 semi-structured interviews with UCO staff members at the executive level (strategic), middle management level (implementation) and employee level. The findings identified three different UCO strategic models: “service-provider”, “relationship-builder” and “money-maker”. Corresponding to these different strategic models, each UCO has a different climate that it wants to achieve through its HRM, which subsequently translates into different configurations of HR policies and practices. Nevertheless, despite these discernible differences, a generic HRM model still tends to dominate across the three UCOs due to industry-specific needs and challenges. This research also identified resource availability and organisational history and stability as factors that affect UCOs’ HR strategy and implementation, which in turn determine employees’ perception of HRM. Taken together, this research contributes to the field of HRM by empirically testing and providing insight into the association between organisational strategy, HR program configurations and employee appraisal. The identification of different university commercialisation strategies, factors that influence the effectiveness of UCO strategy and HR practices that can enhance employee perceptions also has practical implications for future university research commercialisation activities.

Damage Formulation of Random Particulate Composites by Combined Micromechanics and Damage Mechanics

Damage evolution of random particulate composites is formulated by combined micromechanics and damage mechanics. Damage mechanics is applied to filler particles to describe interfacial debonding, which in turn incorporated into Mori-Tanaka's mean field theory for stiffness prediction of damaged composites. The model uses an energy balance concept to account for nonlinear behavior due to particle debonding. With this model, the effect of partial debonding on anisotropic damage development of composites are analytically investigated.

Morphology of Hypospadias

Morphological investigation was performed in a clinical series for prospective study comprising 220 unselected cases of hypospadias. The patients were followed up postoperatively for 8 to 12 years. The investigation comprised the external and internal genitals, including anomalies of the testes and disturbances in gonad differentiation, and simultaneous malformations in the upper urinary tract and extraurogenital malformations. At the preoperative examination the meatal caliber was judged to be inadequate in 91% of the patients with glandular hypospadias, the mildest and commonest form. Curvature was observed in 69% and torsion in 16%. Manifest penile hypoplasia was registered in 7/220, 3 of whom showed chromosomal aberrations. Among the congenital anomalies of the proximal urethra, undevelopment of the prostate was discovered in one perineal hypospadiac and absence of the internal sphincter mechanism in one glandular and one perineal hypospadiac among 142/220 who had reached fertile age. The anomaly in these three patients caused retrograde ejaculation.

New Validated Method for the Determination of Memantine Hydrochloride Content in Tablet Dosage Forms by a High Performance Liquid Chromatography with Evaporative Light Scattering Detector

The aim of the present work was to develop and validate a liquid chromatographic method for the determination of memantine hydrochloride in tablet dosage form. Chromatographic separation was achieved on a intersil ODS 3v column (150×4.6 mm), 5 μm column with a HPLC grade methanol and 0.1% trifluroacetic acid buffer in the ratio of 50:50 (v/v/v) as mobile phase under ELS Detector conditions like a evaporation temperature 70°C, nebulization temperature 40°C, nitrogen flow rate 1.2SLM, and LED intensity 90%, injection volume is 20μL, flow rate is 1.0 mL/min and the expected retention of memantine hydrochloride peak is about 6.8 minutes. Response was a linear function of concentration in the range 2–0.01 μg/mL for memantine hydrochloride; correlation coefficiencent was 0.9998, respectively. LOD and LOQ for memantine hydrochloride were found 0.01 μg/mL and 0.03 μg/mL based on signal to noise ratio(S/N). Accuracy (recoveries 88–96%) and reproducibility were found to satisfactory. The present method can be applied successfully for the quantification of active pharmaceutical ingredient content in the combined formulations of memantine hydrochloride.

“We were all commanded out of the chamber” (5.2.5–6): Privacy and Architecture in<i>The Winter’s Tale</i>

Relying on architectural imagery and turning a private matter into public concern, The Winter's Tale echoes many early modern anxieties about privacy. Constantly questioning what is seen, heard and said, it finally leaves many of its secrets untold and appears to be built around a blank. It creates an intricate relation between architectural space, presence and absence as fictional domestic space and actual theatrical space interact in a complex public/private dialectic.

<sup>195</sup>Pt-NMR Evidence for Opening of Partial Charge-Density-Wave Gap in Layered LaPt<sub>2</sub>Si<sub>2</sub>with CaBe<sub>2</sub>Ge<sub>2</sub>Structure

We carried out 195Pt-NMR measurements for a single-crystal LaPt2Si2, which is expected to show the coexistence of a superconducting state and a charge density wave (CDW) state. LaPt2Si2 crystallizes to a quasi-two-dimensional CaBe2Ge2-type crystal structure consisting of two types of Pt2Si2 layers: Pt1 and Pt2. From both the Knight shift, 195K, and the NMR relaxation rate divided by the temperature, 1/T1T, the electronic density of states at the Fermi level, N(εF), for only the Pt1 site decreases below the CDW transition temperature T* = 112 K, whereas N(εF) for the Pt2 site does not change. These results suggest that the CDW occurs only in the Pt1 layers below 112 K. Furthermore, above T*, we also found that both 195K and 1/T1T decrease upon cooling only for the Pt1 site. The temperature dependences of K and 1/T1T for the Pt1 site can be explained by assuming a two bands model consisting of a wide band and a narrow band near the Fermi level. The CDW transition is expected to occur only in the narrow band of the Pt1 site, while the wide band of the Pt1-site does not contribute to the CDW transition. The present result strongly indicates that the CDW gap opens partially at the Fermi surface.

Alkali treated water chestnut<i>(Trapa natans L.)</i>shells<i>as a</i>promising phytosorbent for malachite green removal from water

Search for eco-friendly adsorbents for sustainable dye treatment is on the rise. The present study demonstrated the enhanced removal of malachite green (MG) with alkali-modified shells of water chestnut (AWCN) under optimized physio-chemical parameters. Alkali treatment significantly reduces the lignocellulosic components which in turn increased the water stability. The material was been characterized by pHzpc, FTIR, FESEM-EDAX, and BET surface area analysis. pH-dependent adsorption was noticed and the maximum adsorption capacity was determined as 136.46<b> </b>mg/g. Adsorption followed pseudo-second-order kinetics (<i>R</i><sup>2</sup>=0.99) and Langmuir isotherm model (<i>R</i><sup>2</sup>=0.99). Thermodynamic parameters suggested that the adsorption process is spontaneous (ΔG°= -2.99<b> </b>kJ/mol), favorable and endothermic (ΔH°=34.72<b> </b>kJ/mol). Simple regeneration allows multi-cycle use with minimal loss of activity. The mechanism has been proposed to be a combination of electrostatic interaction, H-bonding, and π-π stacking between AWCN and MG. In conclusion, alkali modification of <i>Trapa natans L.</i> shells provides excellent removal of MG from water.

The roles of L-selectin, beta 7 integrins, and P-selectin in leukocyte rolling and adhesion in high endothelial venules of Peyer's patches.

Lymphocyte trafficking into Peyer's patches requires beta 7 integrins and L-selectin. Here, we use intravital microscopy to examine leukocyte rolling and adhesion in Peyer's patch high endothelial venules (HEV) of wild-type, L-selectin-deficient (L-/-), beta 7 integrin-deficient (beta 7-/-), and beta 7/L(-/-) mice. Although the leukocyte rolling flux fraction was reduced by 70%, Peyer's patches in L-/- mice were of normal size and cellularity. In beta 7-/- mice, the rolling flux fraction was normal, but the number of adherent leukocytes in HEV was greatly reduced. The median leukocyte rolling velocity was reduced in L-/- mice and increased in beta 7-/- mice, suggesting that beta 7 integrins and L-selectin mediate rolling in Peyer's patch HEV at different velocities. beta 7/L(-/-) exhibited both a low rolling flux fraction and low adhesion and had severely reduced Peyer's patch size and cellularity. The residual rolling in these mice was completely blocked by a P-selectin mAb. A significant P-selectin component was also detected in the other genotypes. Twenty-six percent of B and T lymphocytes isolated from Peyer's patches of wild-type mice expressed functional ligands for P-selectin, and this fraction was increased to 57% in beta 7/L(-/-) mice. Peyer's patch HEV were found to express P-selectin under the conditions of intravital microscopy, but not in situ. Our data suggest a novel P-selectin dependent mechanism of lymphocyte homing to Peyer's patches. In situ, beta 7 integrins and L-selectin account for all lymphocyte homing to Peyer's patches, but P-selectin-dependent rolling, as induced by minimal trauma, may support trafficking of effector T lymphocytes to Peyer's patches.

Logistic Implications of NATO's New Strategic Concept

Abstract : In November of 1991 at the meeting of Alliance Heads of State and Government in Rome, the new Strategic Concept was announced that would lead NATO into the 21st Century. The new strategy reflected the dramatic political changes that had occurred in Europe with the collapse of the WARSAW Pact and the disintegration of the Soviet Union. The new strategy also acknowledged the current military realities of smaller forces, reduced military budgets, increased reliance on multinational forces and a shift from forward defense to forward presence, with inherent emphasis on mobility and flexibility. For the NATO logistician the new Strategic Concept has created a significantly more demanding and complex environment. A review of this new environment identifies several areas such as sustainment, standardization, Host Nation Support, command which will create significant challenges for the logisticians and the Alliance as a whole. From a political perspective, there is a strong consensus that the new Strategic Concept is the right strategy to carry the Alliance into the next century. Whether the strategy is successful will depend primarily on the commitment of the nations to adequately address the logistical implications of the new Strategic Concept.

Individualization of selection and training of female athletes in speed-power athletics from the perspective of gender identity

Background and Study Aim. To develop and justify the criteria for morphogenetic markers of speed-power abilities of athletes and the main directions of individualization of the process of their preparation, taking into account the characteristics of the female body. Material and Methods. Using the “2D: 4D” determination methodology, finger proportions were analysed for 126 qualified athletes specializing in speed-strength types (sprinting and hurdling, jumping, shot-putting) of different ages (from 17 to 25 years old). For 13 weeks, eight qualified short-distance student runners were regularly tested using computer strain gauge equipment: 5 masculine and 3 feminine types. The tensodynamograms of the manifestation of the strength of muscle groups carrying the main load in the structure of the sprint run were recorded and processed. Results. It was found that 78% of the examined athletes observed finger proportions close to the "male" proportions. This may indicate their certain masculinization. The technique used for this can be an informative and simple marker to predict a genetic predisposition to the ability of effective performance of speed-power work. It was determined that the same amount of power load causes masculine athletes, runners for short distances, a more significant deployment of long-term adaptation restructuring of masculine athletes, runners for short distances, compared with athletes of a different gender identity. Conclusions. Criteria for the prognostic assessment of speed-power abilities of athletes based on simple biological markers for testing and identification, like finger proportions (2D: 4D), have been developed. For athletes of high qualification who have a gender identity similar to men and a masculine somatotype, it is possible to use adapted male techniques for training.

Dissecting the roles of body size and beak morphology in song evolution in the “blue” cardinalids (Passeriformes: Cardinalidae)

Certain vocal signals can be difficult or challenging to produce due to constraints on vocal mechanics. In the case of birdsong, both body size and beak morphology have been shown to constrain spectral and temporal song parameters. Therefore, variation within a clade in both these morphological traits could exert an important effect in vocal evolution and diversity. However, given the allometric relationship between body size and beak size, it is not always easy to separate the effects they may have. Additionally, different habitats impose different sources of sound attenuation and degradation, and birdsong seems to be adapted to minimize habitat-specific sound degradation. Here, we analyze vocal variation in relation to both body size and beak morphology in 13 of 14 species in the "blue" clade of the Cardinalidae, controlling for habitat characteristics. On one hand, we found the predicted negative correlation of body size with song frequencies, but no effect of body size on temporal variables. On the other hand, we found no relationship between different beak dimensions (corrected by body size) and song frequencies, but we found that beak length was correlated negatively with note rate and positively with the duration of the interval between notes. Similar results have been found previously, but mostly in species with trilled songs, in which notes are equal and produced at a constant rate. Our results show that different morphological variables, even if strongly correlated, can exert differential constraints in a complex behavioral trait such as song. A better understanding of the relevance of these proximate factors in shaping vocal evolution is fundamental to understanding the causes of avian vocal diversity.

Pop Culture, Politics, and the News

Abstract From controversies over Hollywood’s on-screen portrayals and behind-the-scenes diversity to the latest outrage over a celebrity’s public statements or private behavior, the world of pop culture now serves as the basis for political news and commentary across a wide range of outlets and from both left and right perspectives. Drawing on dozens of interviews with entertainment journalists who produce politically minded coverage as well as testimonials from audiences who share it on social media, this book argues for the importance of reframing our understanding of impactful journalism and persuasive political communication at a time when issues of identity and “culture war” have moved to the center of US public discourse. Yet although entertainment journalism must be taken seriously as a form of political communication even though it may sometimes appear frivolous on the surface, the day-to-day economic pressures of the digital news landscape can also complicate its public value. By squaring journalists’ accounts of industrial practice with critiques of hyper-commercialism, “clickbait,” and the lure of social media virality, the book highlights both the potential dangers and the potential benefits of channeling political discourse through the attention-grabbing lens of pop culture and celebrity news. In addition, it examines how audiences engage with this highly accessible and emotionally resonant form of journalism on social media and use it as a resource for political expression and discussion, raising important questions about how it may serve as a bridge to public issue engagement as well as a potential distraction from on-the-ground political concerns.

Adjuvants and autoimmunity

Some adjuvants may exert adverse effects upon injection or, on the other hand, may not trigger a full immunological reaction. The mechanisms underlying adjuvant adverse effects are under renewed scrutiny because of the enormous implications for vaccine development. In the search for new and safer adjuvants, several new adjuvants were developed by pharmaceutical companies utilizing new immunological and chemical innovations. The ability of the immune system to recognize molecules that are broadly shared by pathogens is, in part, due to the presence of special immune receptors called toll-like receptors (TLRs) that are expressed on leukocyte membranes. The very fact that TLR activation leads to adaptive immune responses to foreign entities explains why so many adjuvants used today in vaccinations are developed to mimic TLR ligands. Alongside their supportive role, adjuvants were found to inflict by themselves an illness of autoimmune nature, defined as ‘the adjuvant diseases’. The debatable question of silicone as an adjuvant and connective tissue diseases, as well as the Gulf War syndrome and macrophagic myofaciitis which followed multiple injections of aluminium-based vaccines, are presented here. Owing to the adverse effects exerted by adjuvants, there is no doubt that safer adjuvants need to be developed and incorporated into future vaccines. Other needs in light of new vaccine technologies are adjuvants suitable for use with mucosally delivered vaccines, DNA vaccines, cancer and autoimmunity vaccines. In particular, there is demand for safe and non-toxic adjuvants able to stimulate cellular (Th1) immunity. More adjuvants were approved to date besides alum for human vaccines, including MF59 in some viral vaccines, MPL, AS04, AS01B and AS02A against viral and parasitic infections, virosomes for HBV, HPV and HAV, and cholera toxin for cholera. Perhaps future adjuvants occupying other putative receptors will be employed to bypass the TLR signaling pathway completely in order to circumvent common side effects of adjuvant-activated TLRs such as local inflammation and the general malaise felt because of the costly whole-body immune response to antigen.
