Psychological contract, motivation, perceived supervisor support and monitoring : relationships with effort by Hu, Sheena Min En, Pan, Wynne Huimin, Tan, Yane Chang

“…Specifically, it also studies the impacts of a) perceived employer inducement due to pay and b) perceived employer inducement due to support on the different types of employee motivation (intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation and amotivation) and perceived supervisor support, which may in turn affect employees' effort at work. Other determinants of effort like psychological contract breach and monitoring were also included in our proposed model.…”

A renewal-equation approach to estimating Rt and infectious disease case counts in the presence of reporting delays by Bajaj, S, Thompson, R, Lambert, B

“…Here, we introduce an <i>R_t</i> estimation method which makes use of the retrospective updates to case time series which happen as more cases that occurred historically enter the health system; these data encode within them information about the reporting delays, which our method also estimates. These estimates, in turn, allow us to estimate the true count of cases occurring most recently allowing up-to-date estimates of <i>R_t</i>. …”

Protein profile in cells exposed to non-thermal radiofrequency-field. by Ng, Shi Qi.

“…Combined with the results obtained by another student conducting a similar experiment at different exposure duration58, it is found that only Histone H2A and Histone H4 responded to the radiation after 10 minutes, 40 minutes, 2 hours and 5 hours exposure. The regulation of histone observed may be due to RF-induced chromosomal instability, RF-induced double strand DNA breakage and experimental limitations. …”

Monitoring of group discussion using Android apps by Hamdi Hamzah

“…Investigating these aspects is crucial for building intelligent robots that can participate in conversations in a natural way, or to fulfill certain social responsibilities in our life. As our ultimate goal is to improve the current computer systems and social robots that suffer from a lack of social skills, we will explore the social signals and social behaviors, including social interactions (like turn taking), social attitude (like alliance), and social relations/ roles to build more socially intelligent model for robots. …”

On fundamental aspects of quantum extreme learning machines by Xiong, W, Facelli, G, Sahebi, M, Agnel, O, Chotibut, T, Thanasilp, S, Holmes, Z

“…As a cautionary note on scalability, we identify four sources that can lead to the exponential concentration of the observables as the system size grows (randomness, hardware noise, entanglement, and global measurements) and show how this can turn QELMs into useless input-agnostic oracles. In particular, our result on the reservoir-induced concentration strongly indicates that quantum reservoirs drawn from a highly random ensemble make QELM models unscalable. …”

Can good ESG performance help companies resist external shocks? by Yang, Xin, Sheikh Hassan, Ahmad Fahmi, Karbhari, Yusuf

“…In order to validate the varied conclusions regarding the integration of corporate ESG practices by investors during external shocks, this study utilises the COVID-19 crisis as a specific external shock. The findings from our difference-in-differences methodology suggest that companies demonstrating strong ESG performance have succeeded in reducing idiosyncratic risk throughout the pandemic period. …”

Evaluation and implementation of a Just-In-Time bed-assignment strategy to reduce wait times for surgical inpatients by Braaksma, Aleida, Copenhaver, Martin S., Zenteno, Ana C., Ugarph, Elizabeth, Levi, Retsef, Daily, Bethany J., Orcutt, Benjamin, Turcotte, Kathryn M., Dunn, Peter F.

“…In the several months post-implementation, the average patient wait time decreased 25.0% overall, driven by decreases of 32.9% for ED-to-floor transfers (from 3.66 to 2.45 hours on average) and 37.4% for PACU-to-floor transfers (from 2.36 to 1.48 hours), the two major sources of admissions to the surgical floors, without adding additional capacity.…”
