The effect of psychological capital and job satisfaction toward millennials front line staff / Muhammad Akmal Hakim Rosli

The purpose of this study is to examine the significant relationship between psychological capital and job satisfaction of millennials front line staff. The author propose that psychological capital has an effect toward job satisfaction on millennials front line staff. A theoretical model which psychological capital as independent variable and job satisfaction as dependent variable. This model is tested using data gathered from 100 front line staff. The results show resilience is the only dimension in psychological capital that have a significant relationship on job satisfaction toward millennials front line staff

Soluble phthalocyanines as optical gas sensing materials

A novel soluble phthalocyanine compound, i.e zinc phthalocyanine (sulfonamide) has been synthesized by chemical substitution of zinc phthalocyanine and used to produce thin solid films by means of the spin coating technique. The chemical structure of the spin coated films has been investigated by FT-IR analysis. Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) has been used to characterize the film morphology and to measure the film thickness. The spin coated films have been tested as optical sensing materials of volatile organic compounds such as methanol, ethanol and 2-propanol. The change of optical reflectance of the films upon exposure to alcohol-vapour-containing atmospheres has been measured versus alcohol concentration and exposure time. The films exhibit a fast and reproducible response, with a complete and fast recovery in methanol and ethanol-containing atmospheres, while diffusion-driven effects appear during exposure to 2-propanol. The response and sensitivity of the films to ethanol vapour is higher than to methanol and 2-propanol

Observation of parametric X-rays produced by 400 GeV/c protons in bent crystals

Spectral maxima of parametric X-ray radiation (PXR) produced by 400 GeV/c protons in bent silicon crystals aligned with the beam have been observed in an experiment at the H8 external beam of the CERN SPS. The total yield of PXR photons was about 10-6 per proton. Agreement between calculations and the experimental data shows that the PXR kinematic theory is valid for bent crystals with sufficiently small curvature as used in the experiment. The intensity of PXR emitted from halo protons in a bent crystal used as a primary collimator in a circular accelerator may be considered as a possible tool to control its crystal structure, which is slowly damaged because of irradiation. The intensity distribution of PXR peaks depends on the crystal thickness intersected by the beam, which changes for different orientations of a crystal collimator. This dependence may be used to control crystal collimator alignment by analyzing PXR spectra produced by halo protons.peer-reviewe

The Influence of Political Connection and Institutions to the Performance and Bank Loans of Private Listed Companies

我国有着不同于西方发达国家的制度背景和政治制度，政府对市场的管制力度较大，上市公司的高管具有一定的政治背景，其中国有企业本身大股东的政府背景性质，其政治关联很可能是与生俱来的，而民营企业政治关联的形成则具有主动性。改革开放以来，民营经济不断发展壮大，己成为我国经济增长的主要推动力量，因此，研究政治关联对民营公司的影响这一问题在中国更具有现实启发意义。 本文以民营上市公司的高级管理人员是否是前任或现任的政府官员、人大代表或政协委员来衡量公司是否具有政治关联，选取2004年—2008年中国沪深两市所有A股民营上市公司为样本，实证研究了政治关联与制度环境对民营上市公司经营绩效和银行贷款的影响。研究...Chinese current institution and political system are different from the Western developed countries. Under this system, many executives of private listed companies are relevant to politics. Therefore the study of political influence of private companies related to this issue in China is more realistic instructive. This paper focuses on whether the company has the political connection, which measu...学位：管理学硕士院系专业：管理学院财务学系_财务学学号：1762007115174

Vacuum-evaporated cavitand sensors: Dissecting specific from nonspecific interactions in ethanol detection

High vacuum evaporation (VE) is used for the first time to grow thin films of novel tetraphosphonate, Tiiii[H, CH3, Ph], and tetrathiophosphonate, TSiiii[H, CH3, Ph], cavitands for gas sensing applications. The sublimation rate of the compounds was monitored during the depositions and related to the final physical properties of the samples. The properties of deposited films were investigated by various techniques. FT-IR and ESI-MS indicate that the samples consist of pristine cavitand molecules and demonstrate the high purity of the VE films. AFM images show the Tiiii and TSiiii films to possess similar thickness and globular morphology. These physical analyses indicate the uniformity and homogeneity of the final samples as well as the high reproducibility of the VE technique. The sensing capabilities of the samples were investigated by exposing Tiiii- and TSiiii-coated QCMs to ethyl alcohol in very low concentrations. The sensitivity, the speed, and the detection limit of the samples were determined, indicating highly competitive sensing capabilities. Elovich kinetics and Langmuir−Henry isotherms were used to analyze the sorption process occurring onto the different samples and showed that, whereas TSiiii samples consist mainly of unspecific adsorption sites, Tiiii films show specific active sites where analyte molecules can be trapped and detected
