This study examines the relationship of two important constructs (the belief and attitude constructs) with managers’ proclivity for using Social Dialogue – a tool for managing people at work (patronised by ILO) for maintaining peace and harmony in Bangladeshi textile industries. Managers’ personal belief and attitude within an organisation might affect the managerial responses towards social dialogue. The obtained data from the questionnaires are analysed through the 1st generation statistical packaged software (SPSS) and hypotheses are tested using Smart PLS software package well known as 2nd generation data analysis software. Analyses results strongly supported the relationship of the belief and attitude construct with managers’ proclivity for using social dialogue. The research surveyed three hundred fifty-one managers at 49 textile industries. The findings of this study suggest that the belief and attitude construct have a significant positive relationship with managers’ penchant for supporting social dialogue. The result of the paper provides managers with a credible argument to continually question their employee perceptions and objectively analyse whether their beliefs and attitudes impact their intention to use social dialogue. The selected sample should have been from strategic, tactical, and operational level of management that remains as a research limitation.

Objectives:  To investigate the relationship of personal belief in just world self – compassion with body appreciation in individuals with amputation who use prosthesis and in those who do not use prosthesis.Methods:  A sample of 78 individuals using prosthesis and not using prosthesis (n = 39 each) was selected. Cross – sectional research design was used. Urdu translated version of Personal Belief in Just World Scale (PBJW), Self – Compassion Scale and Body Appreciation Scale were used. Moderated regression analysis was used to assess if personal belief in just world and self – compassion predict body appreciation similarly or differently in the two groups using SPSS 20.Results:  Among individuals with amputation using prosthesis were 30 (76.9%) men and 9(23.1%) women while among 39 individuals not using prosthesis were 30 (76.9%) men and 9 (23.1%) women. Age of individuals with amputation using and not using prosthesis was, M = 37.10, SD = 14.30 and M = 39.13, SD = 14.14 respectively. Duration of amputation of those using and not using prosthesis in years was M = 6.10, SD = 7.74 and M = 8.35, SD = 11.82 respectively. Duration of use of prosthesis in years was M = 3.29, SD = 3.86. Personal belief in just world positively predicted body appreciation in both groups. Self – compassion predicted body appreciation only in individuals with amputation using prosthesis. Individuals using prosthesis had better body appreciation than those not using prosthesis.Conclusion:  Use of prosthesis helps in body appreciation of individuals with amputation. Over and above the use of prosthesis, personal belief in a just world is a personal resource that plays its role in maintaining body appreciation. However, Self – compassion aids in body appreciation among individuals with amputation using prosthesis.

Many large financial services organisations are seeking to develop their employees’ design capability to develop innovative customer solutions. Yet, there appears limited understanding on how individual employees (without a background in design) view the relationship of design thinking to innovation. This study investigates how employees perceive design thinking and its potential link to drive innovative practices within a large Australian multinational financial services organisation. An exploratory qualitative approach used face-to face semi-structured interviews with diverse participants from across the organisation. A modified existing design capability framework was used to map each individual’s perspectives and illustrate the organisation’s current DT and innovation capacity. Findings from this study contribute new insights regarding employee perceptions and design capability requirements

<p class="Keywords">In many Qur’anic verses and Hadith, the term ‘to construct’ or ‘to build’ is frequently mentioned. It means that there are some principles in this kind of activity in Islam, that can be called Islamic principal of architecture. Therefore, it is very important for Muslim architects to have a deep understanding about these principals, and to bring them to the operational level. Basically, to build it to make some social, technical, economical, and psychological arrangements. Great changes that occur within the relationship of human and their environment in fact influence the way architects deal with these arrangements. Islamic principal of architecture give Muslim architects a basis in their architectural activities that derived from the Qur’an and Hadith. Based on these principals, the arrangements will have to considerate hablumminallah, hablumminannaas, and hablumminal’alam, which are the core of the Islamic relationships. The result of these arrangements then could be applied in five important things in architecture: function, form, technology, safety, and comfort, with a deep consideration in contextuality and eficiency.</p>

Partindo da perspectiva de Alteridade já implícita nos Evangelhos, este artigo mostra que tal conceito assume contornos mais nítidos em nossa época, e vem sendo repensada por alguns teólogos contemporâneos, descortinando um novo horizonte para a reflexão sobre o pluralismo e o diálogo inter-religioso. A partir desta reflexão, diferencia a visão de pluralidade no reconhecimento da alteridade de outras perspectivas de unidade e pluralidade baseadas apenas na identidade, e faz uma ponte entre a reflexão teológica da Alteridade e as propostas atuais de um diálogo social mais amplo entre as pessoas de diferentes tendências religiosas e materialistas, convivendo num mesmo espaço político. Ressalta que a perspectiva cristã da Alteridade é ancorada não apenas na relação com o próximo, mas também na relação com a Alteridade divina, expressa no Mistério de um Deus Uno e Trino e na misteriosa relação de um Filho Único com seus irmãos. A partir desta concepção teológica da Alteridade, focaliza o atual convívio humano na multiplicidade de línguas, culturas e religiões na perspectiva de um novo Pentecostes. Este nos abre para a compreensão da relação entre o Único e o múltiplo, e para a possibilidade de uma era pós-secular pacífica.ABSTRACT: Taking alterity’s (otherness) perspective already implicit in the Gospels, this article shows that this concept assumes a more explicit forms in our times, and some contemporary theologians have been thinking about it, opening new horizons to reflect on pluralism and inter-religious dialogue. This reflection differentiates the vision of plurality in recognizing alterity from other perspectives of unity and plurality based on identity, and it builds a bridge between theological reflections on alterity and current proposals of a broader social dialogue between people of different religious affiliation and materialists, living together in the same political space. It emphasizes that the Christian perspective on alterity is anchored not only on the relationship with the neighbor but also in the relationship with the divine alterity, expressed in the mystery of the triune and monotheistic God and the mysterious relationship of a unique Son with his brothers. From this theological conception of alterity it focuses on the current human living in the multiplicity of languages, cultures, and religions in the view of a new Pentecost. It leads us to understand the relationship between the unique and the multiple, and the possibility of a pacific pos-secular new era.

Biologic Factors

The Mesozoic-Cenozoic coral Order Scleractinia has been suggested to have originated or evolved (1) by direct descent from the Paleozoic Order Rugosa or (2) by the development of a skeleton in members of one of the anemone groups that probably have existed throughout Phanerozoic time. In spite of much work on the subject, advocates of the direct descent hypothesis have failed to find convincing evidence of this relationship. Critical points are:(1) Rugosan septal insertion is serial; Scleractinian insertion is cyclic; no intermediate stages have been demonstrated. Apparent intermediates are Scleractinia having bilateral cyclic insertion or teratological Rugosa.(2) There is convincing evidence that the skeletons of many Rugosa were calcitic and none are known to be or to have been aragonitic. In contrast, the skeletons of all living Scleractinia are aragonitic and there is evidence that fossil Scleractinia were aragonitic also. The mineralogic difference is almost certainly due to intrinsic biologic factors.(3) No early Triassic corals of either group are known. This fact is not compelling (by itself) but is important in connection with points 1 and 2, because, given direct descent, both changes took place during this only stage in the history of the two groups in which there are no known corals.

Insight Into

Echinodermata is a phylum of marine invertebrates which has been extant since Cambrian time (c.a. 500 m.y. before the present). Modern examples of echinoderms include sea urchins, sea stars, and sea lilies (crinoids). The endoskeletons of echinoderms are composed of plates or ossicles (Fig. 1) which are with few exceptions, porous, single crystals of high-magnesian calcite. Despite their single crystal nature, fracture surfaces do not exhibit the near-perfect {10.4} cleavage characteristic of inorganic calcite. This paradoxical mix of biogenic and inorganic features has prompted much recent work on echinoderm skeletal crystallography. Furthermore, fossil echinoderm hard parts comprise a volumetrically significant portion of some marine limestones sequences. The ultrastructural and microchemical characterization of modern skeletal material should lend insight into: 1). The nature of the biogenic processes involved, for example, the relationship of Mg heterogeneity to morphological and structural features in modern echinoderm material, and 2). The nature of the diagenetic changes undergone by their ancient, fossilized counterparts. In this study, high resolution TEM (HRTEM), high voltage TEM (HVTEM), and STEM microanalysis are used to characterize tha ultrastructural and microchemical composition of skeletal elements of the modern crinoid Neocrinus blakei.

Electron microscopy has proved to be an invaluable discipline in studies on the relationship of viruses to the origin of leukemia, sarcoma, and other types of tumors in animals and man. The successful cell-free transmission of leukemia and sarcoma in mice, rats, hamsters, and cats, interpreted as due to a virus or viruses, was proved to be due to a virus on the basis of electron microscope studies. These studies demonstrated that all the types of neoplasia in animals of the species examined are produced by a virus of certain characteristic morphological properties similar, if not identical, in the mode of development in all types of neoplasia in animals, as shown in Fig. 1.
