FACTORS AFFECTING EMPLOYEE SATISFACTION AND CORPORATE PROFITS IN CHINA’S PRIVATE EXPRESS INDUSTRY

This study will examine the challenges and solutions faced by Jiangsu Express in the market. To retain a competitive edge, private express companies must build a reputable brand. The franchising strategy may support the website’s enthusiasm by quickly growing the business. Rapid growth has several drawbacks, such as high employee turnover and low customer satisfaction. This essay explores the problems faced by private express companies. Employee incentives, employee feedback channels, customer service, and company culture all impact employee satisfaction and profits. They all contribute to the private Express Industry’s employee satisfaction and profit plan. The findings show a positive relationship between employee happiness and business profitability that is crucial in determining business profitability. It may also be seen as a kind of debt protection, since lenders are more inclined to give money for long-term growth. Corporate profit choices are driven by employee incentives, business culture, customer service, working resources, and employee satisfaction, says this study. This study looked at policymakers’ views on outcome-based profitability. The Future Policymaker Attitudes Study may look at several facets of this. Its conclusions may have economic implications, even though this study is about business profitability. In the future, this study’s research methodology may be applied to other developing countries’ corporate profit concerns. A prospective study might look at the long-term business of Corporate Profits and the level of Private Express Industry expertise among firms in China and other countries.

Ubrzano toplinsko starenje nitril-butadienskog kaučuka s dodanim grafenom

In this paper, the thermal ageing of nitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR) reinforced with different graphene (GE) concentrations has been investigated. NBR and NBR-GE composites were exposed to an accelerated thermal ageing environment produced by an air-circulating oven for seven days. The mechanical properties, chemical changes, and thermal stability of ageing samples and neat samples were evaluated. The results showed that the surface damage of NBR was severe and inhomogeneous, and the degree of ageing was most serious on the edge region of the voids, but NBR-GE composites were changed slightly before and after ageing. The tensile strength increased with the increase of GE concentration, up to a maximum value, and decreased with further increases in GE concentration. The GE embedded crosslinked network limited the segment movement of chains in the stretch direction and played a role in the composites properties, and the GE sheets (contained the functional groups of −OH, −C=O and C=C) after ageing. This behaviour may indicate greater interface adhesion between the GE and NBR. In addition, results obtained by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) indicated that the thermal stability of NBR significantly changed with accelerated thermal ageing environment, but with addition of a certain amount of GE to NBR, the thermal stability of NBR could be improved. The NBR/GE composites exhibited good comprehensive performance with a mass fraction of GE of 10 %. Before and after the thermal ageing, the failure mechanism of NBR-GE composites appeared intergranular and ductile fracture, respectively.

Kompoziti NBR i NBR-GE bili su izloženi ubrzanom toplinskom starenju koje je proizvodila zračna cirkulacijska pećnica tijekom sedam dana. Ispitivana su mehanička svojstva, kemijske promjene i toplinska stabilnost uzoraka starenja i čistih uzoraka. Rezultati su pokazali veliko i nehomogeno površinsko oštećenje NBR-a. Stupanj starenja bio je najozbiljniji na rubnom dijelu praznina, dok su se kompoziti NBR-GE prije i poslije starenja neznatno promijenili. S povećanjem koncentracije GE, vlačna čvrstoća se uvećala do maksimalne vrijednosti i smanjila s daljnjim povećanjem koncentracije GE. Ugrađena GE mreža ograničila je kretanje lanaca u smjeru rastezanja i odigrala ulogu u svojstvima kompozita i slojevima GE (sadržavali su funkcionalne skupine −OH, −C=O i C=C) nakon starenja. Ta pojava može ukazivati na veću međupovršinsku adheziju GE i NBR. Dodatno, rezultati dobiveni termogravimetrijskom analizom (TGA) pokazuju da se termička stabilnost NBR-a znatno promijenila s ubrzanim uvjetima toplinskog starenja, ali uz dodatak određene količine GE u NBR, može se poboljšati toplinska stabilnost NBR-a. Kompoziti NBR-GE pokazali su dobra sveobuhvatna svojstva s masenim udjelom GE od 10 %. Prije i nakon toplinskog starenja, mehanizam kvara kompozita NBR-GE pokazao je intergranularne i duktilne prijelome.

Spectroscopic Evidence for the Specific Na+ and K+ Interactions with the Hydrogen-bonded Water Molecules at the Electrolyte Aqueous Solution Surfaces

Sum frequency generation vibrational spectra of the water molecules at the NaF and KF aqueous solution surfaces showed significantly different spectral features and different concentration dependence. This result is the first direct observation of the cation effects of the simple alkali cations, which have been believed to be depleted from the aqueous surface, on the hydrogen bonding structure of the water molecules at the electrolyte solution surfaces. These observations may provide important clue to understand the fundamental phenomenon of ions at the air/water interface.Comment: 15 pages, 2 figure

Social life and political trust in China: Searching for machers and schmoozers

Previous literature has provided little evidence regarding the ways in which China’s burgeoning social life and rapid urbanization shape Chinese people’s level of trust in their government leaders. This article builds on Robert Putnam’s conceptualization of maching and schmoozing as formal and informal forms of social involvement, respectively. Using the 2012 Chinese General Social Survey, we identify four types of participants in social involvement, namely the inactives, machers, schmoozers and all-rounders, to untangle various aspects of social life in China. Our empirical analysis shows that the sociodemographic positions of the four types of social involvement are largely distinct. Our findings also contribute to the study of political trust by offering insight into the complicated associations between social involvement, hukou status and political trust in contemporary Chinese society

Cerebral hemodynamic characteristics of acute mountain sickness upon acute high-altitude exposure at 3,700 m in young Chinese men.

PURPOSE: We aimed at identifying the cerebral hemodynamic characteristics of acute mountain sickness (AMS). METHODS: Transcranial Doppler (TCD) sonography examinations were performed between 18 and 24 h after arrival at 3,700 m via plane from 500 m (n = 454). A subgroup of 151 subjects received TCD examinations at both altitudes. RESULTS: The velocities of the middle cerebral artery, vertebral artery (VA) and basilar artery (BA) increased while the pulsatility indexes (PIs) and resistance indexes (RIs) decreased significantly (all p < 0.05). Velocities of BA were higher in AMS (AMS+) individuals when compared with non-AMS (AMS-) subjects (systolic velocity: 66 ± 12 vs. 69 ± 15 cm/s, diastolic velocity: 29 ± 7 vs. 31 ± 8 cm/s and mean velocity, 42 ± 9 vs. 44 ± 10 cm/s). AMS was characterized by higher diastolic velocity [V d_VA (26 ± 4 vs. 25 ± 4, p = 0.013)] with lower PI and RI (both p = 0.004) in VA. Furthermore, the asymmetry index (AI) of VAs was significantly lower in the AMS + group [-5.7 % (21.0 %) vs. -2.5 % (17.8 %), p = 0.016]. The AMS score was closely correlated with the hemodynamic parameters of BA and the V d_VA, PI, RI and AI of VA. CONCLUSION: AMS is associated with alterations in cerebral hemodynamics in the posterior circulation rather than the anterior one, and is characterized by higher blood velocity with lower resistance. In addition, the asymmetry of VAs may be involved in AMS
