    The study of group cohesion has brought forth meaningful insight into the interworking of groups in athletic sports teams, classrooms, adult couples, businesses, and military training groups. This study used a mixed quantitative and qualitative methods survey to examine the nature of group cohesion in relation to resident hall staffs located on the campus of Northern Michigan University. A quantitative assessment of group cohesion used in previous studies of group cohesion was modified and used in supplement to a series of nine extended response items. Through the research, seven themes which were consistent across the staffs were discovered. The discovered themes include (1) working toward a group identity, (2) interpersonal skills, (3) conflict resolution, (4) providing support, (5) modeling exemplary behavior, (6) the acceptance of differences and finding common ground, (7) and having meaningful goals. Relationships between the qualitative themes and quantitative levels of group cohesion reported are further discussed

    Glitch Estimation and Removal Using Adaptive Spline Fitting and Wavelet Shrinkage on the Gravitational Wave Data

    Get PDF
    The false alarm rate and reduced sensitivity of searches for astrophysical signals are caused by transient signals of earthly origin, or glitches, in gravitational wave strain data from groundbased detectors. The greater number of observable astrophysical signals will increase the likelihood of glitch overlaps and exacerbate their negative impact for future detectors with higher sensitivities. The wide morphological diversity and unpredictable waveforms of glitches, and with the vast majority of cases lacking supplemental data present the main obstacles to their mitigation. Thus, nonparametric glitch mitigation techniques are required, which should operate for a wide range of glitches and, in the case of overlaps, have little impact on astrophysical signals. The arrangement of free knots is improved to estimate both smooth and non-smooth curves, and wavelet-based shrinkage is added for specific types of glitches in our method for glitch estimation and removal utilizing adaptive spline curve fitting. The effectiveness of the technique is evaluated for seven different kinds of LIGO detector glitch types. In the specific instance of a loud glitch in data from LIGO, Livingston that coincides with the event GW170817, the glitch is evaluated and eliminated without adversely altering the gravitational wave signal. For injected signals overlapped with other kinds of glitches, similar results are observed

    The article aimed to reveal the availability of reengineering the competencies of educational leaders in the Jordanian Ministry of Education based on contemporary leadership trends. The study population is all leaders in the Ministry of Education Center for the year 2020/2022. The researcher used the developmental survey method, and a questionnaire was developed that confirmed its validity and stability. The Study community is (260) individuals from all leaders in the ministry. Results: The reality of the availability of engineering competencies among the educational leaders in the ministry was medium, with statistically significant differences. Based on these results, a restructuring of the competencies of educational leaders was presented. The researcher recommended training educational leaders to bring about innovative changes and to raise the motivation of leadership charisma. She recommended that the Ministry of Education adopt the engineering of leadership competencies to enable educational leaders to achieve creativity, innovation, and comprehensive institutional change in their positions. هدف المقال الكشف عن مدى توفر إعادة هندسة كفايات القيادات التربوية في وزارة التربية والتعليم الأردنية في ضوء الاتجاهات القيادية المعاصرة. مجتمع الدراسة جميع القيادات في مركز وزارة التربية والتعليم للعام 2020/2022. واستخدمت الباحثة أسلوب المسح النمائي، وتم تطوير استبانة أكدت صدقها وثباتها. يتكون مجتمع الدراسة من (260) فرداً من جميع القيادات في الوزارة. النتائج: أن واقع مدى توافر الكفايات الهندسية لدى القيادات التربوية في الوزارة كان متوسطاً مع وجود فروق ذات دلالة إحصائية. وبناء على هذه النتائج تم عرض إعادة هيكلة كفايات القيادات التربوية. وأوصى الباحث بتدريب القيادات التربوية على إحداث التغييرات الابتكارية، ورفع دافعية الكاريزما القيادية. وأوصت وزارة التربية والتعليم بتبني هندسة الكفاءات القيادية لتمكين القيادات التربوية من تحقيق الإبداع والابتكار والتغيير المؤسسي الشامل في مواقعهم

    Sustainable Supply Chain Responsiveness Impact of Strategies Competitive Advantage in Jordanian Pharmaceutical Companies

    As globalization continues to dissolve the boundaries across the world, the significance of pursuing Strategies competitive advantages in construction is becoming more apparent. This paper applies Porter's diamond framework to identify endogenous sources of competitive advantages of construction enterprises, based on an extensive qualitative research approach. Strategies Competitive advantage helps to determine whether you have a competitive advantage: competitive offers, unique selling proposition (USP), and cost structure. These are important they will attract customers to buy from you and when all your costs are deducted from revenue you will have some profit left over. A competitive advantage involves a lot thing to make competition better however, to seek competition you need to have a strategy. Useful sustainable supply chain responsiveness (SCR) has become a potentially important way of securing strategies competitive advantage since competition is no longer between organizations, but among sustainable supply chains responsiveness. The aim of this research is to find out the effect of sustainable supply chain responsiveness on competitive advantage. Relevant literature is reviewed and synthesized first to develop a conceptual model, followed by research methodology. The results are then presented along with discussion. Keywords: Sustainable Supply Chain Responsiveness and, Strategies Competitive Advantage. DOI: 10.7176/EJBM/12-26-02 Publication date:September 30th 202
