Which effective correlation between management by objectives and leadership style practiced inside Jordanian universities?

The present study aims to identify the degree of practice of management by objectives (participation, goal setting, support for senior management, self-control and review, evaluation and accountability for achievement) and its possible relationship with leadership style (democratic style, authoritarian, or permissive style). A quantitative research method was undertaken and a questionnaire was purposely prepared and tested before being administrated to a targeted sample including (552) administrative leaders from Jordan Universities.  For data collection purposes, the process lasted four months during the last quarter of 2022.  In order to test the research hypotheses of the study and achieve its goals, a factorial analysis and statistical regression techniques were applied to analyze the data via the SPSS software (Version 26). The results revealed that the management by objectives is highly applied in Jordanian universities. Findings supported also that the democratic style was the most common leadership style adopted by the department directors of Jordanian universities. The study concluded also that there is a significant association between the practice of management by objectives and the leadership style chosen by those administrative directors/managers. Ultimately, it was recommended that an independent administrative unit dedicated to the application of the principles of management by objectives should be established within the organizational structure of universities. Such unit should draw a specific attention to human resources and all the university stakeholders. It is also appealed to provide them the best work conditions, the appropriate material and organizational resources, so that they could strengthen their human capabilities adequately; while determining the strategic goals of their institutions

Cost allocation for the problem of pollution reduction: a dynamic cooperative game approach

This paper studies CO2 emissions at a global level. The authors use Dynamic Optimisation to derive the minimum penalty cost on countries every single time. They then use an Imputation Distribution Procedure to allocate the minimum penalty cost among countries. Their work provides the extension of the Shapley value cost allocation as a penalty to reduce CO2 emissions. The paper has implications for how to provide initiatives to improve cooperation on reducing CO2 emissions at an international level. Results show that a reduction in cost of only one country can be harmful for other countries. In this way, some countries can end up or worse off in a case where all countries experience a uniform decrease in their penalty cost. Therefore, the findings of this work suggest a low penalty-cost scenario that helps the countries fight for pollution reduction and provide fruitful links for policy-makers. They show that the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) of the Kyoto Protocol could be implemented by the Shapley value cost allocation

Task-based learning versus problem-oriented lecture in neurology continuing medical education.

Objective: To determine whether general practitioners learned better with task-based learning or problem-oriented lecture in a Continuing Medical Education (CME) set-up. Study Design: Quasi-experimental study. Place and Duration of Study: The Aga Khan University, Karachi campus, from April to June 2012. Methodology: Fifty-nine physicians were given a choice to opt for either Task-based Learning (TBL) or Problem Oriented Lecture (PBL) in a continuing medical education set-up about headaches. The TBL group had 30 participants divided into 10 small groups, and were assigned case-based tasks. The lecture group had 29 participants. Both groups were given a pre and a post-test. Pre/post assessment was done using one-best MCQs. The reliability coefficient of scores for both the groups was estimated through Cronbach\u27s alpha. An item analysis for difficulty and discriminatory indices was calculated for both the groups. Paired t-test was used to determine the difference between pre- and post-test scores of both groups. Independent t-test was used to compare the impact of the two teaching methods in terms of learning through scores produced by MCQ test. Results: Cronbach\u27s alpha was 0.672 for the lecture group and 0.881 for TBL group. Item analysis for difficulty (p) and discriminatory indexes (d) was obtained for both groups. The results for the lecture group showed pre-test (p) = 42% vs. post-test (p) = 43%; pre- test (d) = 0.60 vs. post-test (d) = 0.40. The TBL group showed pre -test (p) = 48% vs. post-test (p) = 70%; pre-test (d) = 0.69 vs. post-test (d) = 0.73. Lecture group pre-/post-test mean scores were (8.52 ± 2.95 vs. 12.41 ± 2.65; p \u3c 0.001), where TBL group showed (9.70 ± 3.65 vs. 14 ± 3.99; p \u3c 0.001). Independent t-test exhibited an insignificant difference at baseline (lecture 8.52 ± 2.95 vs. TBL 9.70 ± 3.65; p = 0.177). The post-scores were not statistically different lecture 12.41 ± 2.65 vs. TBL 14 ± 3.99; p = 0.07). Conclusion: Both delivery methods were found to be equally effective, showing statistically insignificant differences. However, TBL groups\u27 post-test higher mean scores and radical increase in the post-test difficulty index demonstrated improved learning through TBL delivery and calls for further exploration of longitudinal studies in the context of CME

Effective treatment strategies against Ebola virus

Ebola virus (EBOV), a member of order Mononegavirales is most famous for causing the endemics of hemorrhagic fever in different countries of the world. Various effective treatment for EBOV are available presently but different clinical trials and experimental studies on animal models are ongoing for this purpose. Results from different studies showed that selective vaccines and therapeutic drugs have potential to interfere the viral life events within host cell in order to inhibit its replication. Various pre-clinical trials in this regard are proved successful on non-human primates (NHPs) and found to be significant in inhibiting EBOV infections. It is the need of hour to develop effective vaccines against Ebola virus to combat this problem as soon as possible. The present article is a brief review on potential treatment strategies against Ebola virus

OBESITY AND MARITAL RELATIONSHIP: THE MEDIATING ROLE OF COPING

OBJECTIVE: To find out the mediating role of coping between factors of obesity and marital relationship in women with obesity. METHODS: This analytical cross-sectional study was conducted from May to November 2019 at various universities (Lahore College for Women University, Riphah International University, and University of Central Punjab) and hospitals (Services Hospital, Jinnah Hospital and Shalimar Hospital) of Lahore, Pakistan. Sample (n=400) was collected through Purposive sampling technique. Overeating Situations Scale, big five personality inventory, relationship satisfaction inventory, brief coping response inventory along demographic form were administered on the sample. Data was analyzed through Path analysis using AMOS-20 RESULTS: Majority (n=213/400; 53.25%) of participants were working in private-sector, 216/400 (54%) were teachers and 54% (n=184/400) were doctors. Participants ranged in age from 25-50 years. Forty-five percent (n=180) had 1-5 years’ duration of marriage. Path analysis revealed that the structural path from reappraisal coping to openness to experience and from extraversion to the marital relationship has a positive direct effect. It can also be seen that the structural path from emotional, psychological, and cognitive factors to marital relationship and from disengagement coping to the marital relationship have direct significant negative, whereas from reappraisal coping to marital relationship show a direct positive effect. Coping showed two indirect paths to marital relationship: the path mediated by reappraisal coping to marital relationship and disengagement coping marital relationship. CONCLUSION: Mediating effect of coping revealed that women who use reappraisal coping enjoy better marital life as compared to the women who use disengagement type of coping
