    Authentic leadership in illness blogs:What we can learn from jaw surgery bloggers

    This paper argues that authentic leadership theory provides a useful model for explaining the communication of orthognathic or jaw surgery bloggers. Previous studies concluded that illness blogs can empower patients, but no research considered any leadership theory as a model for blogging. For this study, 24 publicly available blogs were analyzed to find expressions that demonstrated each of the four components of authentic leadership, which are self-awareness, relational transparency, communication based upon an internalized moral perspective, and balanced processing of information. The research also analyzed blog comments to find expressions that demonstrated followers’ development of the positive psychological capacities of confidence, hope, optimism and resilience. The research points towards a new model of how this group of bloggers helps themselves and their community transit a time of change and uncertainty. The bloggers appear to be delivering positive socio-emotional leadership to similar others. To confirm the model, researchers need to run interviews and surveys with bloggers and commenters

    Effect of extended tooth contact on the modeling of spur gear transmissions

    Get PDF
    In some gear dynamic models, the effect of tooth flexibility is ignored when the model determines which pairs of teeth are in contact. Deflection of loaded teeth is not introduced until the equations of motion are solved. This means the zone of tooth contact and average tooth meshing stiffness are underestimated and the individual tooth load is overstated, especially for heavily-loaded gears. The static transmission error and dynamic load of heavily-loaded, low-contact-ratio spur gears is compared with this effect both neglected and included. Neglecting the effect yields an underestimate of resonance speeds and an overestimate of the dynamic load

    Opportunities for Better Family Living Through Conserving Your Health

    The ability of your family to be happy and successful depends largely upon the personal efficiency and cooperation of each member. Authorities place attitude and ideals as first requisites to efficiency, and health as a close second. Someone defined health as that condition of the body that makes possible the highest enjoyment of life, and the greatest constructive work. Another adds that positive health makes one welcome the new day and the new task with assurance. Health is possible for you but you cannot attain it \u27by mere wishing. It is built up through knowledge and persistent following of a way of living which makes it possible and conserves it. If you want to be healthy and live long: avoid accidents; eat the right kind and quantity of foods; avoid overweight in early and middle life; and keep living quarters clean, well-lighted and ventilated. In addition, breathe correctly; spend some time out-of-doors daily; secure sufficient sleep; live moderately, avoid continuous excessive physical or nervous strain; and see your physician when symptoms of illness appear
