Catalyst study stated that female leaders suggestively can exhibit better leadership behaviour than male and can have more positive effect on their subordinate’s work psychology and performance. But these proclamations, grounded mostly on inadequate research verdicts and subjective evidence, continue empirically unverified in Asian countries. The experiential study is directed to compare whether female managers differ in their leadership style from male managers in bank. Added to that, study led to recognize and compare the difference in subordinate’s work performance behaviour due to the supervisor’s gender. Through multi-stage sampling method, 364 male and 58 female supervisors were examined based on structured questionnaire proposing two hypothetical consent-attainment status quo. Results exhibited and confirmed the significant difference among supervisor’s gender in their leadership style. Noteworthy variances were revealed in subordinates’ work behaviour because of their manager’s gender. Though the effects varied for diverse dimensions of managerial behaviour and employees conduct. Hypothesis verified that female supervisors are more transformational and transactional in style than male. Furthermore, female leaders were rated more significantly positive on subordinates’ task and contextual performance than male. Research entitled that Indian female supervisor with transformational and transactional style could be more influential to induce subordinates work behaviour and performance in banks. It is imperious to analyse leader’s behaviour in context to their gender, as female leaders play a substantial role in organization growth and performance.

This research aims at examining the role of bureaucratic leadership style on teachers' professionalism in public sector universities and the difference between bureaucracy and professionalism, with a special reference to legal-rational authority. A validated self-structured closed-ended questionnaire with a 5-point Likert scale was designed for data collection from a sample of 40 teachers of Public Sector Universities. An Ordinal Regression Analysis (ORA) was used to analyze the data. The findings of the study show no significant difference between the role of bureaucratic leadership and teachers' professionalism in university as they are interrelated, having a direct link of professionalism with individuals' approaches, behaviors and performance. The results also revealed that the Bureaucratic Leadership style is a more suitable style that enables individuals to work with more dedication and honesty. Bureaucratic leadership is more effective than many others styles of leadership. Hence, the study recommends that it is practised that every style of leadership is not suitable for every organization or institution so, leaders must be competent enough to use the best style according to the situation.

Ca. 60 % of the Dutch activated sludge plants consist of completely mixed systems, experiments have been carried out in completely mixed pilot plants to study the biological P-removal. The research was carried out in two pilot plants. The pilot plants consisted of: anaerobic reactor, anoxic reactor, aerobic reactor and a clarifier. All the reactors were completely mixed. Both plants were fed with settled domestic waste water at a sludge loading of 400 and 250 g COD/kg sludge.day respectively. The results are given below:sludge loading (g COD/kg sludge.day)400400250ratio Anaerobic : Anoxic : Aerobic1: 1:2,71:1:4,11:1:2,7P-removal (%)802875N-removal (%)505065COD-removal (%)858585 It has been shown that there is no significant difference between the results at the two different sludge loadings. Remarkable is the difference between the ratio 1:1:2,7 in combination with the internal recirculation flow anoxic-anaerobic of 160 % and the ratio 1:1:4,1 with a recirculation flow of 30 %. During the start-up at a sludge loading of 250 g COD/kg sludge.day and an internal recirculation flow of 30 %, bulking sludge developed almost immediately. The Premoval was completely disturbed. Increasing the internal recirculation flow to 160% had a positive effect on settling properties and P-removal. This investigation has pointed out that a completely mixed system is suitable for biological P-removal, without negatively affecting the nitrification. Important factors in the process are the ratio anaerobic:anoxic:aerobic and the recirculation flows.

Abstract Background: Beta-thalassemia is an inherited disorder of hemoglobin synthesis with many associated morbidities. Osteoporosis is an important cause of morbidity in these patients. Bisphosphonates are potent inhibitors of osteoclast activity and have been recently used for the treatment of osteoporosis in beta-thalassemia. Several studies have indicated that the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene has a role in the regulation of bone mineral density (BMD) and bone metabolism, but the results are very controversial. The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness and safety of zoledronic acid in Lebanese thalassemics with osteoporosis. Methods: We studied 23 patients with beta-thalassaemia major (14 patients) and intermedia (9 patients). Thirteen patients were male and 10 were female, with a mean (+/− standard deviation) age of 25 +/− 9 years. All patients had severe osteoporosis and were receiving calcium and vitamin D supplements prior to and during the study. Zoledronic acid was given i.v. at a dose of 4 mg every 3 months over 12 months. The effects were monitored by assessing pain score, analgesic score and performance score. The BMD of the hip and lumbar spine, osteocalcin, bony alkaline phosphatase and pyrrolidine crosslinks were also measured. To gain more insight into the genetic basis of osteoporosis in thalassemia and to correlate this with the response to zoledronic acid, we analysed the polymorphism of the VDR gene in three polymorphic sites (Bsm I, Taq I and Apa I) using restriction enzymes digestion. Results: We have given two doses of zoledronic acid uptil now. The most common adverse event was joint pain in 12 patients (52.2%) lasting for 1–3 days and responding to analgesics. Four patients had perioral numbness and five had fever. These adverse events were markedly reduced after the 2nd dose; only two patients had joint pain. No patients discontinued the study until now. The pain scores, analgesic score and performance score were all improved compared to baseline values. The difference in pain index score was significant (p=0.004), and the reduction in the number of painful sites was slightly significant (p=0.097). There was significant difference in the baseline z score of the spine between transfusion dependent patients (15 patients) and transfusion non-dependent patients (8 patients) (p = 0.042). The distributions of VDR alleles in Bsm I polymorphism were 30.4% for BB, 52.3% for Bb, and 17.3% for bb; in the Apa I polymorphism 17.4% for AA, 47.8% for Aa, and 34.8% for aa; in Taq I polymorphism 30.4% for TT, 52.3% for Tt, and 17.3% for tt. We found no significant differences in baseline BMD between the three groups of Bsm I polymorphism at all sites. Apa I was not associated with significant differences in BMD. The BMD of the Ward’s triangle was higher in patients with the Tt-genotype compared with individuals with the tt-genotype and the difference was almost significant (p=0.089, ANOVA). Conclusions: In Lebanese thalassemics with osteoporosis zoledronic acid (a dose of 4 mg) is well tolerated and the clinical response is quite impressive. However, the response to treatment needs to be assessed by follow-up BMDs and blood bone markers.

Introduction: The success of an organization is determined by its human ‎resources. Work engagement leads to higher productivity and performance of the organization. Leaders seek to understand the impact of ‎their leadership style on work engagement. This is even more important in educational organizations but research in this area is insufficient. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between department ‎manager’s leadership styles and faculty member’s work engagement in some Iranian universities of medical ‎sciences‎. Methods: This was a descriptive-analytical correlational study. 149 people including faculty members and department managers with at least 6 months of work experience were selected through the convenience sampling method. Data collection tools included ‎a demographic questionnaire, a multi-factor leadership questionnaire, and a Schaufeli & Bakker work engagement questionnaire whose validity and reliability were examined. ‎Data were analyzed using SPSS software version 16. Result: A total of 114 faculty members with 13.42 ± 9.75 and 35 department managers with 19.91 ± 8.67 work experience participated in this study. Faculty members reported high work engagement. There was a positive and significant relationship between work engagement and interactional (P = 0.010) and transformational leadership (P = 0.001). ‎There was a significant difference between manager’s and employee’s views on the interactional ‎and transformational leadership (P < 0.001). Conclusion: Managers can promote job engagement by selecting the proper leadership style, and the advantages can be leveraged to boost organizational productivity.

Abstract Background Flow cytometric enumeration of lymphocyte subsets in peripheral blood can provide important information about immune status. Commutable reference materials (RM) are crucial for maintaining accurate and comparable measurement results over time and space. Commutability assessment of RMs for lymphocyte subsets enumeration has not been reported elsewhere. Methods Lymphocyte subsets were measured in triplicate on 56 patient samples and eight RMs using two measuring systems commonly used in laboratories (FACS Canto II and Cytomics FC500). The first step was to determine the suitability of RMs and comparability of different systems with patient samples. After the requirements of suitability and comparability were met, the second step was to assess commutability following regression approach and difference in bias approach. Results Two RMs were not measurable on FC500 system for CD3-CD16/56+ and CD3-CD19+ percentages. The results of comparability showed no significant difference in the two systems. Eight RMs for CD3+CD4+ cell count, six RMs for CD3+ and CD3+CD8+ percentages, five RMs for CD3-CD16/56+ percentage, and three RMs for CD3-CD19+ percentage were commutable using the two approaches. For CD3+, CD3+CD8+ and CD3-CD19+ percentages, the results of regression approach showed that one RM was non-commutable for each parameter, while the other approach showed that the RM was commutable. Conclusions The suitability of RM and comparability of different measuring systems are prerequisites for assessing commutability. This study indicated that different approaches led to different results. The difference in bias approach is recommended for criteria relating to medical requirements and performance characteristics of measuring systems in use.
