Factors of internal corporate social responsibility and the effect on organizational commitment

Internal corporate social responsibility (CSR) has become an essential part of organizations' social responsibility. Yet, to date, CSR's internal dimension has been widely neglected in the literature. This paper empirically explores the concept of internal CSR and its relationship to employees' affective and normative organizational commitment. For conceptualizing internal CSR, seven factors are theoretically derived based on social exchange theory. The research model is initially tested through a pre test consisting of 386 respondents from a German company active in the renewable energy sector. The main survey is carried out in an international pharmaceutical company, resulting in 2081 employee responses. The results reveal that the relevant factors constituting internal CSR are present and that the latter has a strong effect on employees' affective organizational commitment and a comparatively low effect on normative organizational commitment. Furthermore, a mediating role of affective on normative organizational commitment is detected.
Effects of corporate social responsibility and internal marketing on organizational commitment and turnover intentions

This study examined the effects of four aspects of corporate social responsibility (CSR) (i.e. economic, legal, ethical, and philanthropic responsibility) and five aspects of internal marketing (IM) (i.e. welfare system, training, compensation, communication, and management support) on employees' organizational commitment (OC) and turnover intentions (TI) in the casino industry. Based on survey data collected from 310 employees working for a casino company, the relationships were examined using confirmatory factor analysis, second order factor analysis, and structural equation modeling. The results indicate that both employees' perceptions of CSR and IM are positively related to their OC and negatively to their TI, suggesting that adding CSR programs to existing IM programs is likely to improve desirable employee work attitudes such as OC, which in turn contributes to decreasing TI. This study makes a contribution to the literature by conceptually and empirically evaluating CSR and IM dimensions simultaneously in the casino environment.
Perception of Employee on the relationship between Internal Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Organizational Affective Commitment

The five dimensions of internal CSR namely health and safety, work life balance, training and development, workplace diversity and compensation and benefit was used to measure the level of employee's emotional attachment towards the organization. There are a total of 220 sets of questionnaire being distributed to employees who work in Klang Valley regardless of their industry. However, there are only 156 set of questionnaire is usable for analysis. From the analysis, it represented that most of the respondents in this study are degree holder who fall under the age group of 21 to 30. Findings obtained indicated that compensation and benefit is the strongest predictor in affecting employees' perception on organizational affective commitment followed by health and safety and workplace diversity. On the other hand, work life balance and training and development were found to be not having any relationship with organizational affective commitment when other variable (health and safety, workplace diversity, compensation and benefit) is added into the model. Several practical suggestions are forwarded to help improve the study on organizational affective commitment in near future.
A Modern Approach to Estimate the Bearing Capacity of Layered Soil

This study is concerned with the bearing capacity of circularfootings on a granular fill layer above a soft clay soil. Theresults of an extensive series of laboratory and field tests wereused to define an empirical equation. This is generally doneby estimating the dependent variable (e.g. bearing capacity)based on the independent variables (e.g. granular fill layerthickness, soil and footing parameters and settlement ratio).A logarithmic model has been developed by using regressionanalysis to estimate the bearing capacity of a circular footingresting on granular fill at any settlement ratio, using allpossible regression techniques based on 342 field test data, toselect the significant subset of the predictors. The results indicatethat the logarithmic model serves a simple and reliabletool to predict the bearing capacity of circular footings placedon a granular fill with different thicknesses above a soft claysoil. And also, the validity of the developed formulation wasverified with different plate load test results from literature.
Level of Cd in different types of soil of Rohtak district and its bioremediation

Soil samples were collected in the year 2013 and 2014 from different locations to study the comparative level of Cd in the soil samples. The concentration of cadmium in industrial, agricultural and roadside soils, depends on the amount of Cd present in the rocks from which the soils form, the amount added in the form of fertilizers, the amount added to soils from the vehicular exhaust and industrial waste. It is found that, on an average, industrial soil contains greater concentrations of Cd than either of agricultural and roadside soil. In the case of agricultural soil, the phosphorous fertilizer used soil contains an elevated level of Cd. Results also show that long term use of fertilizers and industrial waste will increase the level of Cd in the surface soils. The study reveals that the topsoil in the study area is more polluted with Cd. The average concentration of Cd exceeds the guideline value, therefore, the soil of different sites is said to have an elevated level of Cd. Variation of Cd in the soil depends on several factors like pH of the soil and season. To check the remediation process, pre cultured media was sprayed on the soil samples and it has been found that S. cerevisiae has the capability to remove Cd. When the pH of the soil was maintained at 5.5, it was observed that 65 82% of Cd2+ got removed within 30 days.
Earnings Management and Annual Report Readability

We explore how the readability of annual reports varies with earnings management. Using the Fog Index to measure readability (Li, 2008) and focusing on the management discussion and analysis section of the annual report (MD&A) we predict and find that firms most likely to have managed earnings to beat the prior year's earnings have MD&As that are more complex. This disruption of the overall pattern of readability increasing with the level of earnings found in Li (2008) challenges the ontological explanation that good news is inherently easier to communicate, and shows that obfuscation contributes to making disclosures more complex.
Hegel's Subjective Logic as a Logic for (Hegel's) Philosophy of Mind
Venue: Hegel Bulletin

In the 1930s, C. I. Lewis, who was responsible for the revival of modal logic in the era of modern symbolic logic, characterized 'intensional' approaches to logic as typical of post Leibnizian 'continental philosophy' in contrast to the 'extensionalist' approaches dominant in the British tradition. Indeed Lewis's own work in this area had been inspired by the logic of his teacher, the American 'Absolute Idealist' Josiah Royce. Hegel's 'Subjective Logic' in Book III of his Science of Logic, can, I suggest, be considered as an intensional modal logic, and this paper explores parallels between it and a later variety of modal logic tense logic, as developed by Arthur Prior in the 1950s and 60s. Like Lewis, Prior too had been influenced in this area by a teacher with strong Hegelian leanings John N. Findlay. Treated as an intensional (with an 's' logic, Hegel's subjective logic can be used as a framework for addressing issues of intentionality (with a 't' the mind's capacity to be intentionally directed to objects. In this way, I suggest that the structures of his subjective logic can clarify what is at issue in the 'Psychology' section of the Encyclopaedia Philosophy of Subjective Spirit.
A new scheme for SCR based Current Source Inverter fed Induction Motor drive with open end stator windings
Venue: 2016 IEEE International Conference on Power Electronics, Drives and Energy Systems (PEDES)

A new scheme for SCR based Current Source Inverter (CSI) fed Induction Motor (IM) with open end stator windings is presented in this paper. The proposed topology has an SCR based CSI at one end of the stator windings and a capacitor fed Voltage Source Inverter (VSI) at the other end. A major drawback of the conventional SCR based CSI for IM drive is the requirement of forced commutation circuit for SCRs, making the system complex. The topology proposed in this paper obviates the need for any forced commutation circuit as simple load commutation of SCRs is achieved with the help of the voltage source inverter. CSI is controlled to feed only the active power whereas VSI controls the reactive power to make the power factor at CSI terminal leading and, thereby, facilitating the natural commutation of thyristors. The control scheme is validated by extensive simulation on a MATLAB Simulink platform. The experimental verification of the topology and control algorithm is then carried out on a 1.5HP Induction motor with the help of a digital signal processor TMS320F28335.
Crafting Religious Selves in a Transnational Space: Japanese Women Who Converted to Islam upon Marrying Pakistani Migrants

This chapter explores the trajectories of identity formation of Japanese women who converted to Islam upon marrying Pakistani migrants. The frequency of this type of cross border marriage increased during the 1990s following the rise in the number of Muslim labor migrants in Japan in the late 1980s. After marriage, a majority of the Japanese wives converted to Islam. Using longitudinal data collected since the late 1990s, this chapter examines the complex ways in which these Japanese women construct their Muslim identity as they move across national boundaries in the process of child rearing.
Energiewende's Lone Warriors: A Hyperlink Network Analysis of the German Energy Transition Discourse

This paper explores the integration of different social fields within the German Energy Transition (Energiewende) discourse in the election year 2013 by analysing the hyperlink structures online. Energiewende describes the fundamental transition from non renewable energy to sustainable sources. This goal is both ambitious and controversial. Numerous stakeholders try to make their voices and interests heard and as such politics has to both disseminate and collect information in order to include all relevant groups from different social fields in the political process. This discourse is also visible online. By analysing the hyperlink structures we are able to see the attention distribution of different actor groups in the network. This study shows that most actors tend to link within their own social field and do not aim for a more integrated public sphere. Especially political actors appear to be lone warriors who neither look left or right and mostly link within their own party and ignore other actors. Whereas social field as the media or public administration are relevant within the network we find that scientific actors are ignored by all fields, except for their own.
Resistive Random Access Memory (RRAM)
Venue: Resistive Random Access Memory

RRAM technology has made significant progress in the past decade as a competitive candidate for the next generation non volatile memory (NVM) This lecture is a comprehensive tutorial of metal oxide based RRAM technology from device fabrication to array architecture design. State of theart RRAM device performances, characterization, and modeling techniques are summarized, and the design considerations of the RRAM integration to large scale array with peripheral circuits are discussed. Chapter 2 introduces the RRAM device fabrication techniques and methods to eliminate the forming process, and will show its scalability down to sub 10 nm regime. Then the device performances such as programming speed, variability control, and multi level operation are presented, and finally the reliability issues such as cycling endurance and data retention are discussed. Chapter 3 discusses the RRAM physical mechanism, and the materials characterization techniques to observe the conductive filaments and the electrical characterization techniques to study the electronic conduction processes. It also presents the numerical device modeling techniques for simulating the evolution of the conductive filaments as well as the compact device modeling techniques for circuit level design. Chapter 4 discusses the two common RRAM array architectures for large scale integration: one transistor one resistor (1T1R) and cross point architecture with selector. The write/read schemes are presented and the peripheral circuitry design considerations are discussed. Finally, a 3D integration approach is introduced for building ultra high density RRAM array. Chapter 5 is a brief summary and will give an outlook for RRAM's potential novel applications beyond the NVM applications.
Advanced physical modeling of SiOx resistive random access memories
Venue: 2016 International Conference on Simulation of Semiconductor Processes and Devices (SISPAD)

We apply a three dimensional (3D) physical simulator, coupling self consistently stochastic kinetic Monte Carlo descriptions of ion and electron transport, to investigate switching in silicon rich silica (SiOx) redox based resistive random access memory (RRAM) devices. We explain the intrinsic nature of resistance switching of the SiOx layer, and demonstrate the impact of self heating effects and the initial vacancy distributions on switching. We also highlight the necessity of using 3D physical modelling to predict correctly the switching behavior. The simulation framework is useful for exploring the little known physics of SiOx RRAMs and RRAM devices in general. This proves useful in achieving efficient device and circuit designs, in terms of performance, variability and reliability.

Knowledge and practice of mothers on child survival strategies in Odeda Local Government Area, Ogun State, Nigeria

The knowledge and practice of mothers on child survival strategies affects the survival of a child. This study is aimed at assessing the Knowledge and Practices (KaP) of child survival strategies among mothers in Odeda Local Government Area Ogun State (OLGA) Two hundred mothers and their under three year's children were selected for the study. A structured questionnaire was used to obtain information on the bio data and socio economic characteristics of the mothers. Anthropometric measurements were taken using standard equipment. KaP of mother on child survival strategies was assessed. Data was analysed using SPSS version 20. More than half (53% of the children were male while 47% were female. About 12% of the mothers had no formal education. More than two third (73% of the mothers earn less than 30000 per month. About 26% of the mothers had adequate knowledge on child survival strategies while about 10% had poor knowledge. About17.6% of the mothers practice child survival strategies adequately while about 55% had poor practices. Only 10.5% of the mothers know and use Zinc tablet in the management of diarrhoea. There is a significant relationship between the knowledge and practice of child survival strategies among the mothers. Educational level of the mothers significantly affects the practice of child survival strategies (p=0.001) It can be concluded from this study that the knowledge and practice of the mothers on the use of Zinc tablet exclusive breastfeeding GMP and vaccination was poor.
The effects of physiological adjustments on the perceptual and acoustical characteristics of vibrato as a model of vocal tremor.
Venue: The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of physiological adjustments on listeners' perception of the magnitude of modulation of voice and to determine the characteristics of the acoustical modulations that explained listeners' judgments. This research was carried out using singers producing vibrato as a model of vocal tremor. Twenty healthy adults participated in a perceptual study involving pair comparisons of the magnitude of "shakiness" with singers' samples, which differed by fundamental frequency, vocal quality, and vowel. Results revealed that listeners perceived a higher magnitude of voice modulation when female samples had a pressed vocal quality. Acoustical analyses were performed with voice samples to determine the features that predicted listeners' judgments. Based on regression analyses, listeners' judgments were predicted to some extent by modulation information in frequency bands across the spectrum.
Development and Support of E Learning Systems in Tomsk State Pedagogical University

Processes of IT development in modern society and closely related processes of IT development in all forms of educational activities are characterized by the process of improvement and mass distribution of up to date information and communication technologies (ICT) Similar technologies are used extensively for communication and collaboration between the teacher and the student in modern open and distance learning. A modern teacher must not only have knowledge of ICT but also must be an expert on their application in his/her professional activity. In this case, application of such technology is closely related to distance learning and e learning. In this paper, we intend to simulate and show outcomes of the development of e learning support systems on the example of Tomsk State Pedagogical University (TSPU)
Adaptation based on learning style and knowledge level in e learning systems

Although there have been numerous attempts to build and evaluate adaptive e learning systems, they tend to be limited in scope, and suffer from a lack of carefully designed and controlled experimental evaluations of their effectiveness and usability. This thesis addresses these issues through the implementation of an adaptive e learning system and its experimental validation. The design of an adaptive framework and the specific instantiation of its components into a configurable adaptive e learning system are presented. The domain model of the system deals with computer security. The learner model incorporates the information perception dimension of the Felder Silverman model of learning style and also knowledge level. The adaptation model generates personalised learning paths and offers adaptive guidance and recommendation. The thesis also provides an empirical evaluation through three controlled experiments to investigate the effect of different forms of adaptation. Rigorous experimental design, careful investigation and precise reporting of results are taken into account in all the three experiments. The findings indicate that matching the sequence of learning objects to the information perception learning style yields significantly better learning outcome and learner satisfaction than non matching sequences. They also indicate that adaptation based on the combination of the information perception learning style and knowledge level yields significantly better learning outcome (both in the short and long term) and learner satisfaction than adaptation based on either of these learner characteristics alone; this combination is also marked by a significantly higher level of perceived usability compared to a non adaptive version of the e learning system.
