How are Global HR Competency Models Evolving for the Future?

Question: To update the HR competency model for the future, how are global HR competency models evolving? Are there any other HR Competency models that are being applied successfully in multinational organizations

Ectoparasitic Arthropods Collected From Some Northern Ohio Mammals

Ectoparasitic arthropods were collected from some fur-bearing mammals in northern Ohio. Specimens representing seven mammalian species were examined and found to collectively harbor acarines, fleas, and biting lice. Species determinations were made and new host and state records noted

New Wisconsin Record for \u3ci\u3ePterostichus Punctatissimus\u3c/i\u3e (Coleoptera: Carabidae)

A single specimen of Pterostichus punctatissimus (Randall) (Coleoptera: Carabidae) was recovered from an unbaited pitfall trap in northern Wisconsin in late May, 2013. This is the first recorded extant specimen of the species collected in Wisconsin

An integrated Bayesian model for estimating the long-term health effects of air pollution by fusing modelled and measured pollution data: a case study of nitrogen dioxide concentrations in Scotland

The long-term health effects of air pollution can be estimated using a spatio-temporal ecological study, where the disease data are counts of hospital admissions from populations in small areal units at yearly intervals. Spatially representative pollution concentrations for each areal unit are typically estimated by applying Kriging to data from a sparse monitoring network, or by computing averages over grid level concentrations from an atmospheric dispersion model. We propose a novel fusion model for estimating spatially aggregated pollution concentrations using both the modelled and monitored data, and relate these concentrations to respiratory disease in a new study in Scotland between 2007 and 2011

On the number of prime order subgroups of finite groups

Let G be a finite group and let ?(G) be the number of prime order subgroups of G. We determine the groups G with the property ?(G)??G?/2?1, extending earlier work of C. T. C. Wall, and we use our classification to obtain new results on the generation of near-rings by units of prime order
