Adjustment Processes

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to identify how young South Korean self-initiated expatriates (SIEs) have adjusted to their work and to verify the role of workplace learning activities as work adjustment processes in the relationship between work adjustment resources and outcomes.Design/methodology/approachThe study adopted a mixed-method approach, beginning with a qualitative study, followed by a quantitative study.FindingsThe main findings of the qualitative study indicated two types of SIE personal characteristics (ability to embrace cultural differences and entrepreneurship), their participation in training programs and that a supportive work environment which facilitates their work adjustment. Workplace learning, which led to role clarification within their organizations, is also critical for adjustment. Based on these findings, the quantitative research study examined the effects of personal and contextual factors on workplace learning and adjustment (n = 120). The quantitative part of the study found cultural intelligence (CQ), entrepreneurship, training programs and supportive environments were positively related to sociocultural adjustment through the work adjustment process.Research limitations/implicationsAs work adjustment is an important predictor of increased sociocultural adjustment among SIEs, organizations should build learning-supportive climates to promote workplace learning and seek people with appropriate characteristics for expatriation. Further studies should expand participant sample sizes to represent a wider population of SIEs.Originality/valueExtant literature on SIEs mainly explored their performance and management. This study explores their adjustment processes through the perspective of workplace learning.

Objective: Existing research on couples’ sexual adjustment to cancer lacks a clear theoretical framework which is necessary to underpin interventions supporting couples in such adjustment. Possibly as a result, current interventions show disappointing results. We therefore wanted to construct a conceptual framework of couples’ sexual adjustment to cancer, leading to theory-based and therefore more adequate interventions. Design and Method: We performed a meta-synthesis of 21 papers to arrive at a preliminary framework of sexual adjustment to cancer, using the techniques of meta-ethnography. This preliminary framework guided our qualitative study with 20 patients and partners with advanced cancer, using constructivist grounded-theory methodology. Results: The combination of these two methods led to a conceptual model of sexual adjustment, showing that couples engage in a combination of three different pathways: 1) a grieving pathway, in which sexual changes are depicted as one of the losses due to cancer; 2) a cognitive-restructuring pathway, in which sexual changes are depicted as normative and culturally determined in which their meaning need to be renegotiated; 3) a rehabilitation pathway, in which sexual changes are depicted as bodily dysfunctions which need medical treatment. Contextual factors influence this adjustment process, e.g. couples with advanced cancer emphasize the grieving process over the rehabilitation or restructuring process, as sexuality is often seen as a definite loss because of the irreversible character of the disease. Conclusions: For an intervention to be more effective it could be based on above conceptual framework, which emphasizes the multiple and flexible pathways a couple can take to adjust to sexual changes.

AbstractReduction techniques as applied to astrometric data material tend to split up traditionally into at least two different classes according to the observational technique used, namely transit circle observations and photographic observations. Although it is not realized fully in practice at present, the application of a blockadjustment technique for all kind of catalogue reductions is suggested. The term blockadjustment shall denote in this context the common adjustment of the principal unknowns which are the positions, proper motions and certain reduction parameters modelling the systematic properties of the observational process. Especially for old epoch catalogue data we frequently meet the situation that no independent detailed information on the telescope properties and other instrumental parameters, describing for example the measuring process, is available from special calibration observations or measurements; therefore the adjustment process should be highly self-calibrating, that means: all necessary information has to be extracted from the catalogue data themselves. Successful applications of this concept have been made already in the field of aerial photogrammetry.

“Hydropic degeneration” of the hepatocytes are often found in biopsy of the liver of some kinds of viral hepatitis. Light microscopic observation, compareted with the normal hepatocytes, they are enlarged, sometimes to a marked degree when the term “balloning” degeneration is used. Their cytoplasm rarefied, and show some clearness in the peripheral cytoplasm, so, it causes a hydropic appearance, the cytoplasm around the nuclei is granulated. Up to the present, many studies belive that main ultrastructural chenges of hydropic degeneration of the hepatocytes are results of the RER cristae dilatation with degranulation and disappearance of glycogen granules.The specimens of this study are fixed with the mixed fluid of the osmium acidpotassium of ferricyanide, Epon-812 embed. We have observed 21 cases of biopsy specimens with chronic severe hepatitis and severe chronic active hepatitis, and found that the clear fields in the cytoplasm actually are a accumulating place of massive glycogen. The granules around the nuclei are converging mitochondria, endoplasm reticulum and other organelles.

Background American educational legislation suggests culturally competent speech and language services should be provided in a child's native language, but the number of multilingual speech-language pathologists (SLPs) is negligible. Consequently, many monolingual English-speaking practitioners are being tasked with providing services to these populations. This requires that SLPs are educated about cultural and linguistic diversity as well as the legislation that concerns service provision to non-English or limited English proficiency speakers. Purpose This qualitative study explored the experiences of monolingual, American, English-speaking SLPs and clinical fellows who have worked with immigrant and refugee families within a preschool context. It investigated what training SLPs received to serve this population and what knowledge these SLPs possessed with regard to federal legislation governing the provision of services to culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) communities. Method Ten American clinicians with experience treating CLD children of refugee and immigrant families in the context of preschool service provision participated in the study. Semistructured interviews were utilized to better understand the type of training clinicians received prior to and during their service delivery for CLD populations. Additionally, questions were asked to explore the degree to which practitioners understood federal mandates for ethical and effective service provision. The data collected from these interviews were coded and analyzed using the principles of grounded theory. Findings The results of this study revealed that there was a general sense of unpreparedness when working with CLD clients. This lack of training also attributed to a deficiency of knowledge surrounding legislation governing service provision to CLD populations.
