The field of positive organizational scholarship highlights the paradox that exists between the negative and the positive in organizations and in individuals. On the one hand, all living systems have a tendency toward, and flourish in the presence of, the positive. Physically, psychologically, emotionally, and socially human systems are inclined toward positive energy and away from negative energy. This is called the heliotropic effect. On the other hand, bad is stronger than good, and individuals and organizations respond more readily and more dramatically to the negative than to the positive. The negative disrupts more readily than does the positive. This chapter grounds this paradoxical phenomenon in academic literature and then reconciles their simultaneous opposite presence in organizations and individuals. Transcending this paradox leads to extraordinarily effective performance for individuals and for organizations.

The superradiance phenomena of massive bosons and fermions in the Kerr space–time are studied in the Bargmann–Wigner formulation. In case of bi-spinor, the four independent components spinors correspond to the four bosonic freedom: one scalar and three vectors uniquely. The consistent description of the Bargmann–Wigner equations between fermions and bosons shows that the superradiance of the type with positive energy (0 < ω) and negative momentum near horizon (p H < 0) is shown not to occur. On the other hand, the superradiance of the type with negative energy (ω < 0) and positive momentum near horizon (0 < p H ) is still possible for both scalar bosons and spinor fermions.

SUMMARYSixteen energy and N-balance trials with six sows were performed to study the energy requirement and protein gain of the animals during different stages in the second half of pregnancy. Energy and N-balances were measured during periods of 1 week and gaseous exchange was measured in a respiration chamber. The animals received 2·0,2·5,2·75 or 3 0 kg/day of a normal concentrate ration for sows. In one experiment, one animal had a negative energy balance on the 2 kg ration in the sixth week of pregnancy but in the other experiments the dietary energy intake was sufficient for positive energy balances until a few days before parturition. The N-balances were about 20 to 32 g/day in the second half of the gestation period. With 2·5 and 2·75 kg feed there was a negative deposition of fat at about 2 weeks before parturition. Heat production increased during pregnancy, but at a greater rate during the last 2 weeks. Until 2 to 3 weeks before parturition 2·5 to 2·75 kg of feed seemed to be adequate to meet the energy requirement of a pregnant sow of 180–200 kg live weight. During the last 2 weeks 3 kg was sufficient.

We develop a relativistic model to describe the bound states of positive energy and negative energy in finite nuclei at the same time. Instead of searching for the negative-energy solution of the nucleon's Dirac equation, we solve the Dirac equations for the nucleon and the anti-nucleon simultaneously. The single-particle energies of negative-energy nucleons are obtained through changing the sign of the single-particle energies of positive-energy anti-nucleons. The contributions of the Dirac sea to the source terms of the meson fields are evaluated by means of the derivative expansion up to the leading derivative order for the one-meson loop and one-nucleon loop. After refitting the parameters of the model to the properties of spherical nuclei, the results of positive-energy sector are similar to that calculated within the commonly used relativistic mean field theory under the no-sea approximation. However, the bound levels of negative-energy nucleons vary drastically when the vacuum contributions are taken into account. It implies that the negative-energy spectra deserve a sensitive probe to the effective interactions in addition to the positive-energy spectra.

On the way of a microscopic derivation of covariant density functionals, the first complete solution of the relativistic Brueckner-Hartree-Fock (RBHF) equations is presented for symmetric nuclear matter. In most of the earlier investigations, the G-matrix is calculated only in the space of positive energy solutions. On the other side, for the solution of the relativistic Hartree-Fock (RHF) equations, also the elements of this matrix connecting positive and negative energy solutions are required. So far, in the literature, these matrix elements are derived in various approximations. We discuss solutions of the Thompson equation for the full Dirac space and compare the resulting equation of state with those of earlier attempts in this direction.

The coming decades are expected to be extremely challenging for organizations. On the one hand, there are the United Nations Sustainable Development goals to end poverty, protect the planet and improve the lives and prospects of everyone. On the other hand, organizations are expected to have to deal with an increasing number of megatrends and disruptors, many of which are already having an impact. To help organizations in their priority setting and decision-making so they can contribute to the development goals (specifically Goal 8: decent work and economic growth), a descriptive literature review was undertaken to identify which megatrends and disruptors will impact the future of organizations and in what ways they are expected do this. From the literature, thirteen megatrends and one disruptor emerged, and for each of these their postulated impact and consequences for organizations as described in the literature were gathered. The study reveals that there is ample attention given to megatrends in the academic literature but that not much can be found about dealing with disruptors. As a consequence, academic literature currently falls short in suggesting ways in which organizations can deal with disruptors. Managerial literature offers more suggestions in this respect.

This chapter aims to present the academic tourism segment as a rising trend that can improve indicators, both academic and marketing, of tourist destinations. On the one hand, economistic arguments were presented; on the other, the academic tourist can be highlighted as a source of reliable information about the destination. That is, returning to their place of origin, the individual will share their experience with other people, including students, commenting on their experiences at the university, and of course, on the receiving destination. At this time, both the power of attraction of their listeners to the place will increase and will act as a paradiplomacy. However, both financial aspects (impacts of academic tourism) and marketing (influence on the image of the destination) are strong arguments for betting on this segment, both from the academic literature, as well as destinations with good universities.

Agent Of Change

The benefits of working in a large company are better infrastructure, well-defined policies, training and learning opportunities, job security and gradual growth. Slow decision-making due to the bureaucratic structure is a major drawback. The unique character of small firms offers agile structure, quick response, family-like atmosphere, opportunity to wear many hats as advantages, and lower compensation and restricted growth as disincentives to joining. However, if employees get their human relationships to energize, the size of the firm will be inconsequential for their success. That is, small firms can only offer a congenial atmosphere as a big firm never. Therefore, understanding what gives us energy and how we utilize it is critical for the leaders in small firms. This case study focuses on the CEO of a small family-owned firm (Nishio Glass and Mirror) whose decision to usher in positive organizational scholarship with the help of consultants set the firm on a successful journey. Even though statistics show that most change efforts fail irrespective of the size of the firm, in this case, it succeeded. This case study informs us that workplaces can be a community for people to amplify positive energy unleashing virtuous circles of growth. Research Questions: What is positive organizational scholarship? How can it be implemented in a small firm? Theory: Positive organizational scholarship and agents of change. Type of the Case: Study of a phenomenon. Basis of the Case: Phenomenon. Protagonist: Present, the CEO of the firm. Findings for Phenomenon-based Research Case An organization is not a machine to transform resources into material properties. It is a community where people share the agentic roles with one another to let them transform. In a trustful community, people can examine the experience of ‘pregnant void’ to open a virtuous mindset; moreover, people can give suffering for others as an agent to embody the meaning of virtues. Discussions for Phenomenon-based Research Case To manage a chaotic situation, which approach should be applied: crisis management or a proper management system? In this case, even a management system failed and dumped the CEO in psychological chaos. Which is that process that an external OD consultant can adopt to transform an organization by setting its employees on the path of self-transformation? If we apply hedonic happiness to the case, it seems to be fit for the past situation where people in the case wanted to have materialistic and short-term success. Discuss the alternative that can be applied.

Problem setting. The article analyzes the features of legal guarantees provided for employees during the performance of state or public duties, considers their essence and significance. It is concluded that their presence, on the one hand, contributes to the quality and effective performance of their duties by a citizen, on the other – ensures the appropriate level of legality and compliance with c urrent regulations. Analysis of recent researches and publications. Some aspects of legal guarantees of labor rights in their publications covered the following scientists: S.Ya. Vavzhenchuk, T.M. Zavorotchenko, M.I. Inshin, V.L. Kostyuk, N.V. Kokhan, O.I. Protsevsky, O.A. Sytnytska, O.M. Yaroshenko, and others. The purpose of the article is to analyze the legal guarantees for employees during the performance of state or public duties, to reveal their essence and meaning. Article’s main body. The article is noted that the guarantees established by the state for employees during the performance of state or public duties (preservation of the place of work (position) and salary) are special protective equipment that supports and protects the employee in cases where he for reasons recognized by law respectable, did not work. The above-mentioned labor guarantees, which ensure the realization of the rights granted to employees, are both intangible (for example, preservation of the place of work, position) and material (preservation of average earnings). The purpose of the sums of money paid during this time is to en sure the preservation of the average earnings of the employee (in whole or in part), as well as to prevent the loss of these earnings. Thus, they are a form of realization of a legal guarantee of the right of employees to prevent the reduction or loss of their income and provide it by preserving the wages of employees, have a material nature. It is noted that the important role of the state in this matter. Whereas, in enshrining the rights and freedoms of the individual in law, he must undertake certain obligations to create favorable conditions for their effective provision: to provide citizens with real opportunities for the practical exercise of their rights and freedoms; to protect the rights and freedoms of the person from possible illegal encroachments; to protect the rights and freedoms of the person in case of their illegal violation. Conclusions and prospects for the development. After analyzing the features of legal guarantees provided for employees during the performance of state or public duties, we can note their importance and significance, especially today. Their presence, on the one hand, contributes to the quality and effective performance of their duties by a citizen, on the other hand, ensures the appropriate level of legality and compliance with the provisions of applicable regulations.

The one-particle sector of the simplest one-dimensional quantum lattice-gas automaton has been observed to simulate both the (relativistic) Dirac and (nonrelativistic) Schrödinger equations, in different continuum limits. By analyzing the discrete analogues of plane waves in this sector we find conserved quantities corresponding to energy and momentum. We show that the Klein paradox obtains so that in some regimes the model must be considered to be relativistic and the negative energy modes interpreted as positive energy modes of antiparticles. With a formally similar approach — the Bethe ansatz — we find the evolution eigenfunctions in the two-particle sector of the quantum lattice-gas automaton and conclude by discussing consequences of these calculations and their extension to more particles, additional velocities, and higher dimensions.
