Investigating Equity Sensitivity as a Moderator of Relations Between Self-Efficacy and Workplace Attitudes

This study integrated measures of equity sensitivity and self-efficacy in an effort to better understand how these variables may affect job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and intent to leave. Equity sensitivity denotes how sensitive people are to overreward and underreward situations and has recently enhanced the accuracy of equity theory in predicting job satisfaction in social exchange situations. Self-efficacy, or task-specific self-confidence, is a central component of Bandura\u27s social cognitive theory, and its influence on individuals\u27 goals, efforts, and task persistence is well documented. Results from a field study of 242 employees in a health care firm support the moderating role of equity sensitivity in relations between self-efficacy and job satisfaction and between self-efficacy and intent to leave, but not between self-efficacy and organizational commitment.

Psychological Influences on Referent Choice*

This article discusses the psychological influences on referent selection. The nature of contemporary work environments, ones characterized by instability and uncertainty, may create increased needs on the part of individuals for comparative information. Individuals use social comparisons for managing both uncertainty and environmental change, and for making critical decisions about one\u27s job. Most literature on referent selection can be categorized along two basic schema: identification of the types of referents that exist and examination of the outcomes that result from referent selection. Studies have identified a multitude of potential referents, primarily drawn from the outcomes being examined, including pay referents, referents linked with one\u27s occupation, education, age and job, and referents derived from an employee\u27s social network

The Course of SARS-COV2 Infection Was Not Severe in a Crohn\u27s Patient Who Administered Maintenance Anti-TNF Therapy Overlapping the Early Pre-Symptomatic Period of Infection.

The Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) population, which may require treatment with immunosuppressive medications, may be uniquely vulnerable to COVID-19 infection. In fact, there is some evidence these medications may inhibit the cytokine storm that is theorized to cause a rapid decline seen in COVID-19. In addition, the digestive symptoms of COVID-19 can be difficult to distinguish from the activation of IBD. We present an interesting case of a Crohn\u27s patient inadvertently administering anti-cytokine therapy during the pre-symptomatic period of COVID-19 infection. Immune suppression during early infection with SARS-COV2 risks a poor immune response to the virus and could theoretically result in a more severe course of infection

This study examined the effect of exchange rates, interest rates, inflation, money supply, gross domestic product and the global crisis on IHSG. The analytical method used in this research is multiple linear regression analysis. Sample studies using daily data from 2005 to 2015. The results of this study indicate that the depreciation of the exchange rate, the decline in gross domestic product, growth in the money supply and the global crisis negatively affect the IHSG, while the variable gross domestic product increase positive influence on IHSG

Perceptions of fecal microbiota transplantation for Clostridium difficile infection: factors that predict acceptance.

BackgroundDespite the effectiveness of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) for treating recurrent Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) infection, some patients are reluctant to accept this therapy. Our study examined attitudes towards FMT and factors that contribute to patients' acceptance of this treatment.MethodsWe distributed patient surveys at a Veterans Affairs hospital, a public hospital, and an academic faculty practice. Multivariable logistic regression was performed, adjusting for factors associated with FMT acceptance on univariate analysis and prior experience with C. difficile infection.ResultsOf 267 patients, only 12% knew of FMT prior to the survey, but 77% would undergo the procedure if medically indicated. On multivariable analysis, those with children and with college degrees or higher were more likely to agree to FMT (odds ratio [OR] 2.11, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.02-4.35; OR 2.27, 95% CI 1.11-4.60 respectively). Sixty-five respondents (71%) chose colonoscopy as the preferred vehicle for FMT, while nasogastric tube was least preferred. Disease transmission was the most common concern (30%, n=242), and FMT success rate was the least selected concern (9.1%).ConclusionsMost patients in a diverse sample of gastroenterology clinics had no prior knowledge of FMT, but were receptive to the procedure. Having children and higher education levels were predictors for FMT acceptance. Our findings suggest that barriers to FMT utilization may be overcome with counseling about safety concerns. More data on the risk of transmitting diseases or clinical characteristics, such as obesity, through FMT are needed and will be important for the acceptance of this procedure

Relationship of Immunization History, Exclusive Breastfeeding and History of LBW with Stunting Incidence in Children Aged 24-59 Months

Stunting adalah keadaan tubuh yang sangat pendek hingga melampaui defisit 2 SD dibawah median panjang atau tinggi badan populasi yang menjadi referensi internasional. Keadaan ini terjadi akibat dari faktor lingkungan dan faktor manusia (host) yang didukung oleh kekurangan asupan zat-zat gizi. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui hubungan riwayat imunisasi, pemberian ASI esklusif dan riwayat BBLR dengan kejadian stunting pada anak usia 24-59 bulan di Puskesmas Alak. Penelitian ini merupakan observasional anlitik dengan desain penelitian Case Control. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah seluruh balita yang ada di Puskesmas Alak yang berjumlah 2073 balita pada tahun 2020. Sampel sebanyak 80 orang dengan menggunakan metode acak sederhana (simple random sampling). Instrumen penelitian ini adalah kuesioner. Teknik analisis dalam penelitian ini adalah analisis univariat, bivariat dan uji chi square. Hasil univariat menunjukkan bahwa 95% reponden memiliki status imunisasi dasar lengkap, 42,5% responden tidak mendapatkan ASI Eksklusif, dan 41,3% resonden memiliki riwayat BBLR. Hasil bivariat menunjukkan ada hubungan antara pemberian ASI eksklusif (p=0,000) dan BBLR (p=0,000) dengan kejadian stunting serta tidak ada hubungan riwayat imunisasi (p=0,116) dengan kerjadian stunting di Puskesmas Alak
