Job Insecurity and Innovative Work Behaviour: A Psychological Contract Perspective
Venue: Psychologica Belgica
Year: 2018

Innovation is considered to be of crucial importance for organisational survival and growth, and in this respect employees play a leading role, as they are the ones who develop innovative ideas. At the same time, the struggle for organisational survival and growth gives rise to perceptions of job insecurity. To date, few studies have explored how employees' innovative work behaviour (IWB) is influenced by the perceived threat of job loss (i.e. job insecurity) As both job insecurity and IWB are increasingly salient in light of organisational change and competition, the present study examines the relationship between job insecurity and IWB, as well as the role of psychological contract breach in explaining this relationship. We hypothesized a negative relation between job insecurity and innovative work behaviour, with psychological contract breach as a mediator in this relationship. Participants were 190 employees from an industrial organisation that had faced restructuring and downsizing for several years. Contrary to our predictions, no direct association was found between job insecurity and the two sub dimensions of innovative work behaviour (i.e. idea generation and idea implementation) Indirect relationships, however, were found between job insecurity and the two types of IWB through psychological contract breach. Surprisingly, psychological contract breach was positively related to idea generation and idea implementation. These findings shed new light on the relationship between job insecurity and IWB.
Discussion on the Live Broadcast of Social Media and E Commerce
Year: 2019

In recent years, online e commerce in Taiwan has been widely used by brand owners (advertisers) Live e commerce has been widely used to be brands communication to consumers due to the popularization of a large number of social media platforms. Communication contents between brands and consumers has a significant increased their sales, and social media communication changed beyond just texts but though the experiences and trusts presented by live broadcasters. E commerce has become one of the most popular and dependent channels for purchasing. However, when a large number of products are exposed on the Internet, online marketing is an important key to the overall marketing strategy of enterprises. The use of online marketing to promote brand, message delivery, market research, customer relations, customer service, sales channels and promotional programs have become important means of Internet marketing. In recent years, the continuous growth of e commerce has also changed the trading behavior of consumers and brands. The Internet has driven real time transactions. This kind of trading behavior without time and place restrictions will continue to build on good brand values and customer relationship. This study explores the actual operation of social media by brand owners (advertisers) and the field operators of e commerce. Due to the proliferation of media marketing, excessive online advertising, bloggers unboxing videos, testimonies, Google simulcasts, keywords, etc. advertising methods including artists and celebrities endorsements have made consumers ubiquitously passive and actively see these advertisements exposed. Thus consumers have begun to gradually lose the intensity of their trust in the media. The use of social media to make brands trustworthy, and consistently maintain a high degree of attachment have always been an important tool and format in the marketing process. The e commerce live broadcast uses social media platform to give e commerce a sense of experience and trust. Using real experience and dictation, the characteristics and key advantages of the product and its own experience directly and indirectly give consumers an expected sense of identity. E commerce transactions have increased the use of social media to generate trading behavior. This study first describes the influence of social media (Facebook) on brand owners and consumers, and then defines the actual effects of social media usage tools, especially the live broadcast (store direct broadcast) introducing the goods sold to consumers. The resulting differentiated trust explores the credibility of e commerce using live broadcasts on social media, and also explores customer relationships simultaneously, directly and indirectly affecting the trust and difficulty of consumers' final purchase behavior, while researching cases show that the brand and social media generated by the live economy are innovative in the ultimate sales trust.
Etodolac versus dexamethasone effect in reduction of postoperative symptoms following surgical endodontic treatment: a double blind study.
Venue: Oral surgery, oral medicine, oral pathology, oral radiology, and endodontics
Year: 2006

The purpose of this prospective study was to analyze the effect of etodolac versus dexamethasone in reducing postoperative pain in patients who had surgical endodontic treatment using a strict protocol.  The study consisted of 90 patients (38 males and 52 females) referred for surgical endodontic treatment. All procedures were performed using a microsurgical technique with a strict protocol. Patients were randomly premedicated with placebo or with one of both protocols: either a single dose of oral dexamethasone, 8 mg, preoperatively and 2 single doses, 4 mg, 1 and 2 days postoperatively, or a single dose of etodolac, 600 mg, and 2 single doses, 600 mg, 1 and 2 days postoperatively. Pain was recorded at 8, 24, and 48 hours, as well as 7 days postoperatively, on a 1 10 scale. The influence of different variables on postoperative sequelae was analyzed.  On a 1 10 scale, the mean values of pain report recorded were 3.8 2.9 (8 hours postoperatively) 2.93 2.4 (24 hours) 2.31 2.2 (48 hours) and 1.4 0.9 (7 days postoperatively) One day postoperatively, 41.8% of the patients reported no or very mild pain (score 1 or 2) whereas after 7 days, 87.9% reported no or very mild pain (score 1 or 2) Both etodolac and dexamethasone had a significant effect of reducing postoperative pain in patients who had surgical endodontic procedure compared with placebo (P or .001)  Postoperative pain following endodontic surgical treatment is not uncommon. Etodolac as well as dexamethasone might serve as a pain relief measure for postoperative pain in these patients.

The Role of the European Court of Justice in the Process of European Integration
Year: 2010

The process of European Integration, which began more than fifty years ago, is still developing and expanding. In this changing and developing process, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) is playing considerable role in the European Integration. In other words, the role of the ECJ has been central in the broader process of European Integration. While the ECJ makes binding decisions on disputes over Treaty provisions or secondary legislation and thus it has gained expanding power and role in the European Union (EU) it has been accused of generally ruling in favour of integrationist solutions to disputes. Moreover decisions of the ECJ, which have direct effect on national jurisdiction and supremacy over conflicting domestic laws, have caused considerable debate on the dynamics of the sovereignty and reduction in the authority of national governments.
A study into the use of on line tendering and e procurement in the construction procurement process.docx
Year: 2019

The emergence of web enabled software has derived as a response to the construction industry's need to drive towards more efficient processes. The purpose of this study is to investigate and establish whether adopting a method of tendering on line will improve efficiencies in the tendering processes, resulting in time and cost savings at the tender stage of a project. Case Studies were carried out to identify and compare the processes involved in: 1) tendering on line, via a specialist service provider and 2) tendering traditionally, via post, fax and telephone. A questionnaire survey of quantity surveyors and contractors was also undertaken to provide an insight into their experiences and perceptions regarding the use of on line tendering. Findings suggest that tendering on line has the potential to reduce the amount of time taken and costs incurred over traditional methods. The amount of cost savings achieved seems to be dependant upon the specific project details, whereas the time savings appear significant regardless of project type. The future use of on line tendering is difficult to predict. The results suggest that the barriers for the adoption of on line tendering reflect the barriers faced by the construction industry generally when embracing new technology, which mainly comprise issues relating to people, cost and technology.
Bone regeneration using composite non demineralized xenogenic dentin with beta tricalcium phosphate in experimental alveolar cleft repair in a rabbit model
Venue: Journal of Translational Medicine
Year: 2017

BackgroundAlveolar cleft repair is performed via bone grafting procedure to restore the dental arch continuity. A suitable bone substitute materials should possess osteoinductive and osteoconductive properties, to promote new bone formation, along with a slowly resorbable scaffold that is subsequently replaced with functionally viable bone. Calcium phosphate biomaterials have long proved their efficacy as bone replacement materials. Dentin in several forms has also demonstrated its possibility to be used as bone graft replacement material in several studies. The purpose of this study was to evaluate bone regeneration pattern and quantify bone formation after grafting pre established experimental alveolar clefts defects model in rabbits using composite xenogenic dentin and b TCP in comparison to b TCP alone.MethodsUnilateral alveolar cleft defects were created in 16 New Zealand rabbits according to previously described methodology. Alveolar clefts were allowed 8 weeks healing period. 8 defects were filled with b TCP, whereas 8 defects filled with composite xenogenic dentin with b TCP. Bone regeneration of the healed defects was compared at the 8 weeks after intervention. Quantification of bone formation was analyzed using micro computed tomography (uCT) and histomorphometric analysis.ResultsuCT and histomorphometric analysis revealed that defects filled with composite dentin/b TCP showed statistically higher bone volume fraction, bone mineral density and percentage residual graft volume when compared to b TCP alone. An improved surgical handling of the composite dentin/b TCP graft was also noted.ConclusionsComposite xenogenic dentin/b TCP putty expresses enhanced bone regeneration compared to b TCP alone in the reconstruction of rabbit alveolar clefts defects.

Chirped Lambert W kink solitons of the complex cubic quintic Ginzburg Landau equation with intrapulse Raman scattering
Year: 2020

In this paper, an exact explicit solution for the complex cubic quintic Ginzburg Landau equation is obtained, by using Lambert W function or omega function. More pertinently, we term them as Lambert W kink type solitons, begotten under the influence of intrapulse Raman scattering. Parameter domains are delineated in which these optical solitons exit in the ensuing model. We report the effect of model coefficients on the amplitude of Lambert W kink solitons, which enables us to control efficiently the pulse intensity and hence their subsequent evolution. Also, moving fronts or optical shock type solitons are obtained as a byproduct of this model. We explicate the mechanism to control the intensity of these fronts, by fine tuning the spectral filtering or gain parameter. It is exhibited that the frequency chirp associated with these optical solitons depends on the intensity of the wave and saturates to a constant value as the retarded time approaches its asymptotic value.

Aplikasi Presensi Siswa Menggunakan Kode QR (QR Code) di SMK PGRI 28 Jakarta Timur
Year: 2018

So far, students' attendance system in schools is still dominated by manual, which is presenting students by taking notes on the paper which will be recaptured from each student attendance data. Since the recap of attendee data manually performed also affects information about the present recapitulation is still limited to the school side only. Teachers may also experience the risk of missing student attendance data that is sometimes tucked away with other files. To help overcome the problem, designed a student presence application system using QR code based on android in SMK PGRI 28 Jakarta. With this application the teacher can do student presences through the QR code printed on the student card using the android smartphone as a QR code reader, so the teacher no longer need to record student presences manually. So the teacher can minimize the risk of data loss of student presences that usually tucked with other files, after which the student presence data can be processed and direkap by the school.
Aerobic exercise and its effects on cognition in schizophrenia
Venue: Current opinion in psychiatry
Year: 2017

Schizophrenia is a severe neuropsychiatric disorder with incomplete remission because of negative and cognitive symptoms in a large proportion of patients. Antipsychotic medication is successful in modulating positive symptoms, but only to a lower extent negative symptoms including cognitive dysfunction. Therefore, development of innovative add on treatment is highly needed. In this review, recent evidence from clinical studies reveals effects of aerobic exercise on cognitive deficits in schizophrenia patients.  First studies and meta analyses on aerobic exercise in schizophrenia patients have shown effects on positive, negative, and global symptoms and cognitive domains such as global cognition, working memory, and attention. Underlying neurobiological mechanisms such as neuroplasticity related synaptogenesis and neurogenesis have been identified in animal studies and possibly mediate effects of aerobic exercise on brain structure and function.  Different aspects of methods (e.g. endurance training versus yoga and Tai Chi) length and dose of the intervention, supervision of patients by sports therapists as well as maintenance of cognitive improvement after cessation of training have been raised by previous studies. However, minimal and most effective dosage of the intervention and mechanisms underlying changes in neuroplasticity need to be answered in future basic and large scale randomized clinical trials.
Second Language Transfer in Third Language Acquisition: An Empirical Study of Chinese English Majors Learning German as Third Language
Year: 2020

Guided by the theory of language transfer, this paper examines the transfer of English (second language) in the early stages of the acquisition of German (third language) by Chinese English majors. The results reveal that English has both positive and negative effects on German acquisition, especially on German pronunciation, vocabulary and sentence learning. On the basis of these findings, some suggestions are also put forward in order to improve the efficiency of third language (German) teaching, namely, English as a vehicular language teaching, contrastive teaching and corpus based teaching.
From Global Value Chains (GVC) to Innovation Systems for Local Value Chains and Knowledge Creation
Year: 2017

This paper presents a hypothesis stating that at the initial stage of growth by a latecomer, increased participation in the global value chain (GVC) is necessary to learn foreign knowledge and production skills, that functional upgrading at middle income stage requires effort to seek separation and independence from existing foreign dominated GVCs, and that latecomer firms and economies might have to seek reintegration back into the GVC after establishing their own local value chains. This paper aims to verify this "in out in again" hypothesis by looking into firm cases of upgrading in Korea and Brazil. Trends in the share of foreign value added in gross exports (FVA) in successful catching up economies of Korea and Taiwan, including China recently, are consistent with this pattern. Regression results also confirm a negative correlation between the degree of local creation and diffusion of knowledge and FVA values, such that gaining increased local knowledge is a basis for increasing (reducing) domestic value added (foreign value added) Given that this variable of local creation and diffusion of knowledge is a key innovation system variable, this finding implies that building local innovation systems is the key in making a possible upgrade while being integrated into the GVC.Cet article presente une hypothese selon laquelle, au stade initial de la croissance d'une entreprise entree tardivement sur un marche, une participation accrue a la chaine de valeur mondiale (CVM) est necessaire pour acquerir les connaissances et les competences de production etrangeres. Selon cette hypothese, pour une entreprise a revenu intermediaire, passer au niveau superieur de facon fonctionnelle necessite des efforts pour devenir independant et se distinguer des CVM existantes dominees par des etrangers. Enfin, l'hypothese suggere que les entreprises et economies entrees tardivement pourraient avoir a se reintegrer dans la CVM apres avoir etabli leur propre chaine de valeur locale. Cet article verifie cette hypothese en examinant des cas d'entreprises passant au niveau superieur en Coree et au Bresil. Les tendances de la VAE (part de la valeur ajoutee etrangere dans les exportations brutes) dans les economies emergentes a succes sont compatibles avec ce modele. Les resultats de regression confirment une correlation negative entre la creation locale de connaissances et les valeurs de la VAE, de telle sorte que l'augmentation des connaissances locales est la base pour augmenter la valeur ajoutee nationale (reduire valeur ajoutee etrangere) Cette constatation implique que la construction de systemes locaux d'innovation est la cle de la mise a niveau via la CVM.
EL CONCEPTO DE OPINION PUBLICA IMPLICITO EN LA TEORIA PURA DEL DERECHO KELSENIANA
Year: 2017

En este articulo, la autora realiza una lectura distinta de la Teoria Pura del Derecho, buscando desentranar el concepto de opinion publica. La sociedad se forma en base a la comunicacion y al debate publico, propiciando asi un lenguaje simbolico que participa de historias, mitos e interpretaciones en la psique humana. Todos estos discursos se decantan en el procedimiento creacion de normas como en los demas procedimientos culturales. El objetivo es describir la paradoja entre la vision simplificada del primitivo y la vision reflexiva del civilizado para corregir las nociones convencionales en la teoria kelseniana.
