enforcement officers, were dispatched on a general disturbance call. A neighbor had called 911 saying she heard a loud argument in the house next door, and it sounded like someone might get hurt. Arriving at the scene, the officers found a husband and wife arguing, but no one was physically hurt. Stephen, the husband, was intoxicated. His wife, Linda, said that he had been out of work for six months, and they were having financial problems. Recently he’d also been depressed and lethargic, and kept saying things like “I’m tired of all this and just want to end it all. ” Joe asked Stephen if he was thinking of killing himself. Stephen admitted that he had considered taking his life. Joe said that Stephen needed to go to the hospital so that he could be evaluated and get help to deal with his problems. After some hesitation and reluctance, Stephen finally agreed to go.

Selenium status in beef and dairy cattle at Taman Pertanian Universiti, Universiti Putra Malaysia

Selenium (Se) nutrition forms an integral part of growth and immune function of man and animals. Deficiency of Se in cattle will inevitably lead to poor growth and mastitis causing an economic loss to a farm. This study was carried out to determine the level of Se in beef cattle and dairy cattle reared at the Taman Pertanian Universiti, Universiti Putra Malaysia. A total of 27 dairy and 36 beef cattle were randomly chosen in this study. The age of the cattle used ranged from 1 to 9 years old comprising of both sexes. Blood sample was collected into heparinized and plain tubes for the detection of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity and aspartate aminotransferase (AST), creatine kinase (CK) and malonylaldehyde (MDA) concentrations, respectively. The activity of GSH-Px was detected using the dithio-bi-nitrobenzoic acid (DTNB) direct method assay. The concentrations of AST and CK were determined using standard diagnostic kits, while the MDA using the TBA (thio-barbituric acid) test. It was found that although no significant differences existed in the GSH-Px activity between breeds, their Se status were in the deficient state. This is in line with previous reports that the acidic soil of Malaysia renders low Se uptake by plants leading to deficiency state in grazing ruminants. The concentrations of AST and CK were higher in beef cattle due to much more overt muscular damage as the result of foraging and lack of supplementation compared to dairy cattle. It is suggested that diet of both breeds should be supplemented with Se to prevent such deficient status in order to increase the productivity of the farm

Orientasi Proses Karir Organisasional dan Keadilan Prosedural: Peran Keberagaman Individual

The advance of organizational justice construct along with its dimensions has potential implications in explaining many justice phenomena, including organizational career process orientation. Diversity of individuals in organization, especially between knowledge workers and non-knowledge workers will imply in different career need as well as their perceptions of organizational justice. The purpose of this research is to give perspective in the relationship between organizational career process and organizational justice. Organizational justice is explained by using organizational perspectives both externally and internally in four types of boundaryless careers (i.e., internal psychological, internal enacted, external psychological, and external enacted), and by considering individual characteristics (i.e., knowledge worker and nonknowledge worker). Two hipotesis were offered and tested using moderated regression analysis (MRA). Organization using organizational career process focusing on externalboundaries will be judged to be procedurally fair by knowledge workers. Organization using organizational career process focusing on internal boundaries will be judged to be procedurally fair by non-knowledge workers. The advance of organizational justice construct along with its dimensions has potential implications in explaining many justice phenomena, including organizational career process orientation.

Nonuniform Center Bunching and the Genericity of Ergodicity among C1C^1 Partially Hyperbolic Symplectomorphisms

We introduce the notion of nonuniform center bunching for partially hyperbolic diffeomorphims, and extend previous results by Burns--Wilkinson and Avila--Santamaria--Viana. Combining this new technique with other constructions, we prove that $C^1$-generic partially hyperbolic symplectomorphisms are ergodic. We also construct new examples of stably ergodic partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms.Comment: Final version. To appear in Annales Scientifiques de l'Ecole Normale Superieur
