This chapter presents a detailed rationale for why this volume is needed. The discussion is divided into five sections: (1) a critical overview of the religion-and-health literature is provided; (2) some preliminary observations are made on the state of current theoretical frameworks and conceptual models in the field; (3) a new conceptual model is introduced—this model is based on the premise that religion is, in essence, a social phenomenon that serves as a key conduit for the transmission of core religious virtues; (4) a new model-building strategy is illustrated by showing how submodels (i.e., brief supplementary models) can be used to expand the conceptual scope of the core model; and (5) an overview is provided of the chapters that follow.

Moderating Role

This study investigated the impact of training and development and supervisors support on employees retention. Furthermore, the current study also investigates the moderating effect of the work environment on the relationship between training and development, supervisors support, and employees’ retention. A survey was undertaken to collect data from 250 faculty members working in public sector universities in Pakistan. PLS path modeling was employed to analyze the data. The results revealed that training and development and the support of the supervisors had a significant relationship with the retention of employees. Similarly, the results also revealed that the work environment moderated the relationship between training and development, supervisors support, and employees’ retention. Finally, the implications, limitations and recommendations for further research were discussed.

Model Building Strategy

Chapter 5 describes three sets of auxiliary methods that have emerged as add-on supplements to the traditional ARIMA model-building strategy. First, Bayesian information criteria (BIC) can be used to inform incremental modeling decisions. BICs are also the basis for the Bayesian hypothesis tests introduced in Chapter 6. Second, unit root tests can be used to inform differencing decisions. Used appropriately, unit root tests guard against over-differencing. Finally, co-integration and error correction models have become a popular way of representing the behavior of two time series that follow a shared path. We use the principle of co-integration to define the ideal control time series. Put simply, a time series and its ideal counterfactual control time series are co-integrated up the time of the intervention. At that point, if the two time series diverge, the magnitude of their divergence is taken as the causal effect of the intervention.

Fritiof Model

We present a new model for generating complete exclusive hadronic final states in high energy collisions involving heavy ions. The model is called Angantyr and is inspired by the old Fritiof model, building on the concept of wounded nucleons.

Filament Channel

AbstractChannels share with their filaments in a hemispheric dependance for the orientation of their axial magnetic fields. This property has significant implications for models of filaments. In support of new model-building exercises, this review examines known signatures of channels, presents evidence that emerging flux plays a key role in creating a new filament channel, and compares channels which form in the belts of active latitudes with those formed closer to the poles.
