Experience of IM programs, perception of IMO and job outcomes: the frontline employee perspective

The thesis found that frontline employees’ (FLEs) experience of internal marketing (IM) programs positively influence their views of internal market orientation and their job outcomes of organisational identification and job satisfaction which then predicts FLEs’ customer oriented behaviour which is the targeted outcome of IM

A Method to Relate the Affecting Parameters and Estimate Dilution in Coal Mines

This study provides an overview of the various issues influencing Out-of-Seam Dilution (OSD) in longwall mining method. The collected data has been statistically analyzed to examine the effect of the some factors causing OSD in front of the longwall mining face. Multiple parameter regression analysis was conducted on affecting parameters and the OSD. The SPSS (Statistics Package for Social Sciences) for Windows software package was used for the statistics analysis. Finally, a relationship between affecting parameters and the OSD is established by using the multiple parameter regression results. Results of this study have revealed that depth of seam, dip of seam, roof quality and variation in seam thickness are the most important influence factors for OSD. The proposed method may be utilized for the estimation of OSD for similar mines since, it was based on actual collected data from the coal mines

Cyclotomy and Ramanujan sums in quantum phase locking

Phase-locking governs the phase noise in classical clocks through effects described in precise mathematical terms. We seek here a quantum counterpart of these effects by working in a finite Hilbert space. We use a coprimality condition to define phase-locked quantum states and the corresponding Pegg-Barnett type phase operator. Cyclotomic symmetries in matrix elements are revealed and related to Ramanujan sums in the theory of prime numbers. The employed mathematical procedures also emphasize the isomorphism between algebraic number theory and the theory of quantum entanglementComment: 6 pages, 3 figures, version accepted at Phys. Lett.

The Influence Of The Development Of Artificial Intelligence Technology In The Industrial Field

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a significant development of information and communication technology in the last ten years. However, its implementation in Indonesia is still relatively low due to constraints on worker skills and insufficient infrastructure investment. Nonetheless, AI has the potential to improve business performance, such as in the use of cloud computing. The application of AI in the industry requires changes and adjustments to technological developments. The use of AI is significantly affecting various sectors and people's lifestyles, and governments have an important role to play in providing technology-based services. The purpose of this study is to examine the influence of AI in the industrial sector, understand its development in Indonesia, and analyze the positive and negative impacts of using AI in the future. This study uses a descriptive method combined with qualitative content analysis techniques and field reviews. The descriptive method is a research method that aims to obtain an objective picture of the situation. Thus, the implementation of AI in Indonesia still needs to be improved by overcoming skills and investment constraints. Governments should play an active role in supporting the development of AI in the industry while considering its positive and negative impacts in the futur

Pin and plate fixation in complex distal humerus fractures: surgical technique and results

Complex distal humerus fractures are difficult to fix by conventional methods, especially in comminuted low distal humerus fractures. We propose a technique using small diameter K-wires and a plate on the humeral shaft. Between May 2007 and March 2009, 19 patients with poor bone quality showing comminuted or low distal humerus fractures involving the articular surface were referred to our institution and were primarily treated by this technique that we called pin and plate fixation. We have reviewed all the cases treated by this method. The average age was 46 years. All of the patients were followed up for a mean of 12 months and had a good range of motion (the average total arc of flexion-extension was 99A degrees); the average Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) score was 18 points. The Mayo Elbow Performance Index was measured and the mean score was 88 in our patients. In this study, a technique has been evaluated for the treatment of complex distal humerus fractures. We recommend this technique in comminuted, osteoporotic or low distal humerus fractures in which other fixation methods seem difficult or even impossible

Band offsets of metal oxide contacts on TlBr radiation detectors

Metal oxides are investigated as an alternative to metal contacts on thallium bromide (TlBr) radiation detectors. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy studies of SnO 2/TlBr and ITO/TlBr devices indicate that a type-II staggered heterojunction forms between TlBr and metal oxides upon contacting. By using the Kraut method of valence band offset (VBO) determination, the VBOs of SnO 2/TlBr and ITO/TlBr heterojunctions are determined to be 1.05 ± 0.17 and 0.70 ± 0.17 eV, respectively. The corresponding conduction band offsets are then found to be 0.13 ± 0.17 and 0.45 ± 0.17 eV, respectively. The I-V response of symmetric In/SnO 2/TlBr and In/ITO/TlBr planar devices is almost Ohmic with a leakage current of less than 2.5 nA at 100 V
