Having entered into a long-standing discussion about what is leading in the formation of an individual genes or parenting the authors point out the role of the quality of birth as the third equal component of this process. The authors introduced the notion of emergentness in relation to the psychosomatic qualities of a conceived child, distinguishing him from each of the parents and underlying his uniqueness, security and individuality of reactions in the conditions of ambiguity, multifactorial effects (psychological, social, environmental) before and after birth during lifetime.

The Impact

Zakat is one of the five pillars of Islam which has a function of faith, social and economic functions. Muslims who can pay zakat are required to give at least 2.5 per cent of their wealth. The problem of poverty prevalent in disadvantaged regions because of the difficulty of access to information and communication led to a gap that is so high in wealth and resources. The instrument of zakat provides a paradigm in the achievement of equitable wealth distribution and healthy circulation. Zakat potentially offers a better life and improves the quality of human being. There is a human quality improvement not only in economic terms but also in spiritual terms such as improving religiousity. This study aims to examine the role of zakat to alleviate humanitarian issues in disadvantaged regions such as Sijunjung, one of zakat beneficiaries and impoverished areas in Indonesia. The researcher attempted a Cibest method to capture the impact of zakat beneficiaries before and after becoming a member of Zakat Community Development (ZCD) Program in material and spiritual value. The overall analysis shows that zakat has a positive impact on disadvantaged regions development and enhance the quality of life of the community. There is an improvement in the average of mustahik household incomes after becoming a member of ZCD Program. Cibest model demonstrates that material, spiritual, and absolute poverty index decreased by 10, 5, and 6 per cent. Meanwhile, the welfare index is increased by 21 per cent. These findings have significant implications for developing the quality of life in disadvantaged regions in Sijunjung. Therefore, zakat is one of the instruments to change the status of disadvantaged areas to be equivalent to other areas.

We examined the role of chromium reduction in the Golgi-Colonnier method, correlating the quality of neuronal impregnation with the levels of hexavalent (CrVI) and trivalent (CrIII) chromium in the tissue and in the chromation fluid (CF). The concentrations of both chromium species were assessed by measuring spectrophotometrically the CrVI before and after oxidizing the sample and by calculating the ratio of CrVI to total chromium (chromium ratio, CrR). The CrR was almost identical in the tissue and the CF, decreasing exponentially during chromation due to a progressive consumption of CrVI to form CrIII. Satisfactory cell impregnation was obtained only when the CrR was 0.45-0.7, regardless of other factors. The CrR values could be accurately predicted by the pH increase of the CF; this increase has proven to be a most reliable criterion to decide the endpoint of the chromation process. The dependence of cell staining on the [CrIII], together with the well-known ability of this species to bridge proteins, suggests that the key event for cell impregnation is the cross-linking of neuronal proteins by CrIII polymers.

Purpose Although there has been an increase in workplace studies on professional agency, few of these have examined the role of emotions in the enactment of agency at work. To date, professional agency has been mainly conceptualised as a goal-oriented, rational activity aimed at influencing a current state of affairs. Challenged by this, this study aims to elaborate the nature and quality of emotions and how they might be connected to the enactment of professional agency. Design/methodology/approach Data are collected in the context of a leadership coaching programme that aimed to promote the leaders’ professional agency over the course of a year. The participants (11 middle-management leaders working in university and hospital contexts) were interviewed before and after the programme, and the data were analysed using qualitative content analysis. Findings Findings showed that emotions played an important role in the leaders’ enactment of professional agency, as it pertained to their work and to their professional identity. The study suggests that enacting professional agency is by no means a matter of purely rational actions. Practical implications The study suggests that emotional agency can be learned and enhanced through group-based interventions reflecting on and processing one’s own professional roles and work. Originality/value As a theoretical conclusion, the study argues that professional agency should be reconceptualised in such a way as to acknowledge the importance of emotions (one’s own and those of one’s fellow workers) in practising agency within organisational contexts.

It has been reported that arginine vasopressin (AVP) plays a thermoregulatory action, but very little is known about the mechanisms involved. In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that nitric oxide (NO) plays a role in systemic AVP-induced hypothermia. Rectal temperature was measured before and after AVP, AVP blocker, or N G-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (l-NAME; NO synthase inhibitor) injection. Control animals received saline injections of the same volume. The basal body temperature (Tb) measured in control animals was 36.53 ± 0.08°C. We observed a significant ( P < 0.05) reduction in Tb to 35.44 ± 0.19°C after intravenous injection of AVP (2 μg/kg) and to 35.74 ± 0.10°C after intravenous injection ofl-NAME (30 mg/kg). The systemic injection of the AVP blocker [β-mercapto-β,β-cyclopentamethylenepropionyl1, O-Et-Tyr2,Val4,Arg8]vasopressin (10 μg/kg) caused a significant increase in Tb to 37.33 ± 0.23°C, indicating that AVP plays a tonic role by reducing Tb. When the treatments with AVP and l-NAME were combined, systemically injected l-NAME blunted AVP-induced hypothermia. To assess the role of central thermoregulatory mechanisms, a smaller dose ofl-NAME (1 mg/kg) was injected into the third cerebral ventricle. Intracerebroventricular injection ofl-NAME caused an increase in Tb, but when intracerebroventricular l-NAME was combined with systemic AVP injection (2 μg/kg), no change in Tb was observed. The data indicate that central NO plays a major role mediating systemic AVP-induced hypothermia.

Crystalline and morphological quality of low-temperature (LT)-deposited and annealed AlN and GaN thin layers were investigated by X-ray crystal truncation rod (CTR) scattering and X-ray reflectivity measurements and atomic force microscope (AFM) observation. It was revealed that the LT-AlN layer was more uniform in terms of the crystalline structure and the layer thickness than the LT-GaN layer, before and after annealing. It suggests that LT-AlN is more suitable as a buffer layer between sapphire substrate and GaN.

The present research is focused to investigate a role of the porous graphite (PG) plate that could improve the quality of 4H-SiC crystal. The grown crystal in porous graphite inserted crucible showed the lower intensity of Al, B and Ti impurity concentration than SiC crystal grown in conventional crucible. The porous graphite plate before and after the growth process has been investigated by a Raman spectroscopy and a photoluminescence spectrum (PL). According to the analysis result, it was confirmed that the porous graphite plate had the effect of suppressing impurities supplied to SiC single crystal during the growth process.

Is the Lack of Technology a Problem for Voluntary Organizations? This article attempts to contribute to the discussion of voluntary organizations and the challenges they face in the development of the Danish welfare society by applying insights from systems theory. The article discusses three central dimensions of these challenges. The first is the government’s increasing expectations as regards both the content and quality of voluntary effort, as well as its expectations regarding the nature of organization of voluntary groups. The second dimension is the lack of technology that voluntary organizations have at their disposal. The third dimension is a discussion of the relevan-ce that their programs and technologies have for the future role of voluntary organizations in the modernization of the Danish welfare state. In this regard it asks the question as to whether voluntary organizations suffer from a lack of relevant technologies.
