In red bushwillow veld near the Sand River in the Kruger National Park, Republic of South Africa, a determination was made of the standing crops of Combretum apiculatum and C. zeyheri at browsing levels delineated by the maximum feeding heights of impala (1,5 m), kudu (2,5 m) and giraffe (5,5 m). Using harvested sample trees, logarithmic or linear regression equations were generated which related basal diameter or stem height to biomass or percentage of total biomass at the different levels. Biomass was divided into two components: current shoots and wood plus bark. Regression forms and variables which produced the highest correlation coefficients changed with changes in species or browsing level, however, most equations were logarithmic with basal diameter as the independent variable.

This study aims to identify the relationship between the creative capabilities of workers in 5-star hotels in the city of Amman and their cultural intelligence. In its measurement of the creative capabilities as an independent variable, the study adopted a scale consisting of three dimensions, namely: fluency, flexibility and originality. Whereas it relied in measuring the cultural intelligence as a dependent variable, on a scale consisting of three dimensions, namely: knowledge (cognition), motivation and behavior. The study was conducted on a sample of (258) workers currently working in these hotels. The required particulars for this study were collected through a specially prepared questionnaire for this purpose after having reviewed multi previous studies. The sample was distributed according to the simple random sample mechanism. The study revealed that there is a significant positive relationship between the dimensions of creative capabilities of workers in such hotels and their cultural intelligence. The study also included a set of recommendations and mechanisms that can be applied by the managements of these hotels to tackle some aspects of the dimensions constituting the cultural intelligence of workers.

The comparison of two regression lines is often meaningful or of interest over a finite interval I of the independent variable. When the prior distribution of the parameters is a natural conjugate, the posterior distribution of the distances between two regression lines at the end points of I is bivariate t. The posterior probability that one regression line lies above the other uniformly over I is numerically evaluated using this distribution.

The Relationship

This research aims to study the expected role of organizational culture between the servant leadership in its dimensions (support and support of employees, forgiveness, and originality) and the performance of workers in whether it is a moderating role that modifies the strength and direction of the relationship between the independent variable and the dependent variable or just a mechanism to transfer the effect of the independent variable on the dependent variable this is called the mediating role. The targeted research sample was represented by the employees working in Al-Zawraa Public Company and the research sample reached (76) individuals of different job levels. For the purpose of collecting data for conducting statistical analyzes, the research relied on the questionnaire as a main tool, as (100) questionnaires were distributed to the employees of Al Zawraa Public Company, Al-Mansour site, Gas Department Medical and industrial. The number of retrieved questionnaires was (79), and valid for statistical analysis was (76). The data were analyzed using (AMOS) version 23 program. To achieve the research objectives, many statistical methods were used, represented by (the arithmetic mean, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple linear regression). This research reached a set of conclusions, perhaps the most important of which is inferring the fact that organizational culture plays an interactive role and an intermediate role in the relationship between servant leadership and the performance of employees.

Mathematical calculations are an important part of chemistry. Those problems are difficult for students, especially if the task is set with a limiting reactant. The aim of this study was development of a Procedure for evaluation of cognitive complexity of the Stoichiometric Tasks with a Limiting Reactant. The procedure created included an assessment of the difficulty of concepts and an assessment of their interactivity. As a research instrument for assessing performance, the test of knowledge was specifically constructed for this research. Each task in the test was followed by a seven-point Likert scale for the evaluation of the invested mental effort. The research included 58 upper-secondary students. The validity of the procedure was confirmed by a series of regression analyses where statistically significant correlation coefficients are obtained among the examined variables: students’ achievement and invested mental effort from cognitive complexity (independent variable).

Abstract We used a "high-performance" liquid-chromatographic assay [for parent cyclosporine (CsA) and nine metabolites] and a radioimmunoassay to detail the diversity of results among whole-blood samples from patients with transplanted organs. Heterogeneous populations of metabolites in samples collected just before the next dose of CsA were detected by HPLC, with CsA, M17, M1, or M8 predominating; M21, M203-218, MUNDF1, and M18 were detected in lesser amounts. Results by HPLC vs RIA for CsA or for individual metabolites vs CsA (or RIA) were diverse, with correlation coefficients (r) ranging from 0.058 to 0.933. RIA vs HPLC(sum of CsA + metabolites) gave the best comparison (slope = 0.931, y-intercept 14 micrograms/L, r = 0.933); but the scatter of data about the regression line remained significant (Sy/x = 132 micrograms/L). Most important, RIA/HPLC(CsA) vs HPLC(sum of metabolites) was remarkably poor (r = 0.222). A 12-h pharmacokinetic curve (for drug concentrations in a heart-transplant patient) displayed dissimilar times for peak concentrations of CsA and metabolites; each differed in the proportion (48% to 81% of peak concentration) eliminated from blood over the 12 h. These studies exemplify the utility of a more-inclusive, specific assay to monitor the diverse disposition of cyclosporines in patients and to demonstrate the errors associated with use of the RIA/HPLC ratio technique to predict metabolite concentrations.

Considerable Support

Previous research on fear of crime has identified, among women and other sub-groups of the population, high fear levels which could not be adequately explained by measures of exposure to risk. Several authors have argued, therefore, that vulnerability may be the key variable behind the observed distribution of fear of crime. In this paper, three dimensions of vulnerability (exposure to risk, seriousness of consequences, loss of control) are identified and integrated into an analytical framework which also takes into account physical, social, and situational factors of vulnerability. A selective international review of research reveals considerable support for the suggested model.

Abstract The analytical framework used in the 2019 EU Country Health Profiles defines resilience as “health systems' capacity to absorb disturbance created by changing environments, sudden shocks or crises, and to adapt and respond effectively with the provision of needed services”. These challenges can be driven by changes or shocks in supply (economic shocks, growing shortages in available resources, technological innovations) or demand (demographic changes, public health threats like the Covid-19 pandemic). The Profiles analyse relevant policy measures to assess whether countries are well prepared to face health system shocks and strains. Methods The framework distinguishes three dimensions of resilience: Ensuring long-term stability of resources: the capacity to protect or generate adequate financial, physical and human resources, as well as information necessary to address a variety of major challenges.Responding efficiently: the ability to manage the health system with limited resources, through achieving efficiencies, while not sacrificing key priorities, benefits, access or entitlements.Strengthening governance: the capacity to steer the system in order to adapt it quickly to new objectives and priorities and to respond to major challenges through key governance tools. The profiles use a harmonised approach to analyse the degree of resilience in each country across these three dimensions through a range of quantitative and qualitative indicators. Results A matrix clusters the findings from the 30 Country Profiles in 2019 (pre Covid-19 outbreak) and identifies common resilience-related challenges and risks facing EU Member States. The matrix also captures examples of countries that are successfully deploying resilience-building policy strategies. Conclusions The evidence shows that resilience is a necessary condition for health systems to mitigate the impact of adversities, as well as respond effectively to both foreseen and unforeseen challenges.
