The impact of sexual harassment on job satisfaction, turnover intentions, and absenteeism: findings from Pakistan compared to the United States
The purpose of this study was to compare and contrast how differences in perceptions of sexual harassment impact productive work environments for employees in Pakistan as compared to the US; in particular, how it affects job satisfaction, turnover, and/or absenteeism. This study analyzed employee responses in Pakistan (n = 146) and the United States (n = 102, 76) using questionnaire data. Significant results indicated that employees who were sexually harassed reported (a) a decrease in job satisfaction (b) greater turnover intentions and (c) a higher rate of absenteeism. Cross-cultural comparisons indicated that (a) Pakistani employees who were sexually harassed had greater job dissatisfaction and higher overall absenteeism than did their US counterparts and (b) Pakistani women were more likely to use indirect strategies to manage sexual harassment than were US targets

PHOTOCONTROL OF SEED-GERMINATION IN IMPATIENS-WALLERANA HOOK F
General characteristics of light sensitivity of Impatiens wallerana seeds were investigated. Germination was absolutely dependent on light, irrespective of temperature. High percentages of germination were obtained by exposure to long periods of illumination or, alternatively, to several repeated short irradiations with red light. In this case, responsiveness to light was not altered by increasing either the initial incubation period in darkness or the dark intervals between short exposures. Effects of red light were reversed by far-red light, thus demonstrating the involvement of phytochrome. Evidence was presented for an interactive effect, of unknown physiological nature between red and far-red light on the germination of the seeds.14324925
