EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE: A MODEL OF PLURICENTRIC EMOTIONAL DISPERSION OF THOSE INVOLVED IN CHANGE MANAGEMENT WITHIN A WORK ORGANISATION

During work one is striving to contribute towards the modelling of emotions of the employees and the dispersion of their emotions as an inevitable process in the creation of positive emotional contagion upon effective change management within a work organisation. Whilst aiming to point out the vast array of the employees’ emotions, the paper provides a broader approach comprising of 11 forms of organisational behaviour which are more or less affected by the emotions of the employees. The focusing of emotional intelligence has been performed through four components: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness and relationship management. Each organisational change results both in positive and negative emotions amongst the employees. These emotions have been presented in the paper according to different phases of organisational change. It has to be highlighted that one of the most difficult and most complex problems in the management of the employees\u27 emotions during organisational change is not the identification of emotions, but how to enhance positive emotions amongst a proportion of the employees. Subsequently, how to transfer or disperse them towards other members of the working group and the entire work organisation

Action Research as a Knowledge Generating Change Methodology

The paper outlines an action research project conducted within an Australian public sector organisation with the purpose of changing a key internal business process. Despite the significant challenges incurred by using a change methodology considered to be âradicalâ within this conventional, hierarchically structured, organisation, the business process was transformed successfully and productivity has increased significantly within the organisation. Furthermore, the action research approach generated pertinent new knowledge; greatly enriched various forms of intangible capital within the organisation; and created a precedent with respect to greater collaboration and democracy within the organisation. In encouraging this approach to managing change within hierarchically structured organisations, the paper advocates caution in its introduction and warns of the challenges that it poses for power management in such organisations

Expression of the Thyroid Hormone Receptor Gene, erbAα, in B Lymphocytes: Alternative mRNA Processing is Independent of Differentiation but Correlates with Antisense RNA Levels

The erbAα gene encodes two α-thyroid hormone receptor isoforms, TRα1 and TRα2, which arise from alternatively processed mRNAs, erbAα1 (α1) and erb α2 (α2). The splicing and alternative polyadenylation patterns of these mRNAs resemble that of mRNAs encoding different forms of immunoglobulin heavy chains, which are regulated at the level of alternative processing during B cell differentiation. This study examines the levels of erbAα mRNA in eight B cell lines representing four stages of differentiation in order to determine whether regulation of the alternatively processed α1 and α2 mRNAs parallels the processing of immunoglobulin heavy chain mRNAs. Results show that the pattern of α1 and α2 mRNA expression is clearly different from that observed for immunoglobulin heavy chain mRNAs. B cell lines display characteristic ratios of α1/α2 mRNA at distinct stages of differentiation. Furthermore, expression of an overlapping gene, Rev-ErbAα (RevErb), was found to correlate strongly with an increase in the ratio of α1/α2 mRNA. These results suggest that alternative processing of erbAα mRNAs is regulated by a mechanism which is distinct from that regulating immunoglobulin mRNA. The correlation between RevErb and erbAα mRNA is consistent with negative regulation of α2 via antisense interactions with the complementary RevErb mRNA

Jorge Luis Borges y su conferencia de 1956 en el Cabildo de Buenos Aires

En 1956, Jorge Luis Borges, recientemente nombrado director de la Biblioteca Nacional y miembro de la Academia Argentina de Letras, dio una conferencia en el Cabildo de la Plaza de Mayo en los actos conmemorativos del centenario de la Municipalidad de Buenos Aires. En esta intervención oral, situada en un contexto político-social bisagra del país, el escritor se ocupó de revisar el vínculo entre su literatura y la ciudad tomando como punto de partida su primer poemario, Fervor de Buenos Aires, además de referirse a la coyuntura política. Este trabajo se propone estudiar las palabras del escritor para dimensionar su importancia tanto en el contexto político-social como en su recorrido como orador

High Resolution Micro-Pirani Pressure Sensor Gauge with Transient Response Processing

International audienceA micro-Pirani pressure sensor which acts as a pressure dependent thermo-resistance gauge is traditionally exploited using a steady state resistance measurement. However any signal variation occurs over a constant voltage bias due to the initial resistance of the device which affects the sensor's sensitivity. Our work shows for the first time an experimental investigation of a micro-Pirani gauge based on its dynamical behavior when heated by a current step. Such a processing does magnify the pressure dependence of the gauge's signal in eliminating the initial resistance influences on the measurement. Furthermore, a first order low pass filter step response identification of the experimental transient signal strongly reduces the thermal noise influence on the measurement. The heating step, the recording of the time dependent signal and its post-processing can be easily achieved by a small-size controller. The proposed system provides a substantial enhancement of the micro-Pirani pressure sensor performance
