Dampak Kompetensi Terhadap Kinerja Dimediasi Kepuasan Kerja Guru
The objective of this study was to determine and analyze the direct and indirect influence of teacher competence on teacher performance through job satisfaction in several public secondary schools in Jayapura City, Papua Province. The research was conducted by sampling 145 civil servant teachers out of 331 civil servant teachers in 6 public high schools, using a deliberation/criteria technique. Data were collected through surveys and questionnaires, with a participation rate of 120 questionnaires (83%) returned, which were referred to as respondents. The analysis was performed using path analysis with the assistance of SmartPLS software version 3.0. The results of the analysis indicated that: 1) teacher competence had a positive and significant direct influence on teacher performance; 2) teacher competence had a positive and significant direct influence on job satisfaction; 3) job satisfaction had a positive and significant direct influence on teacher performance; and 4) job satisfaction mediated the positive and significant relationship between teacher competence and teacher performance
Contributions of CH4-amine interactions by primary, secondary, and tertiary amines on CO2/CH4 separation efficiency
In designing amine-incorporated adsorbents for CO2/CH4 separation, it is essential to understand the individual effects amine moieties have on the separation of CO2/CH4 mixtures. In this work, primary, secondary, and tertiary amines are moderately grafted on SBA-15 to examine factors affecting adsorption of CO2 and CH4. Materials were characterised by thermogravimetric and elemental analysis, and their performance was measured by volumetric and gravimetric gas adsorption. An amine density of 1.6–1.7 mmol/g in secondary and tertiary amines showed an equivalent CH4 uptake of <0.04 mmol/g at 25 °C, while primary amines adsorbed 0.05 mmol/g, indicating stronger interaction forces with CH4. In terms of selectivity, primary and secondary amines grafted at 1.3–1.4 mmol/g had similar values, unaffected by amine type. Adsorption results cross analysed with DFT simulations indicate similar binding energies for CH4 by both amine moieties, concluding the facilitated access of gas molecules to primary amine moieties is the primary factor dictating degree of adsorption. At an amine density of ∼ 1.7 mmol/g for both primary and secondary amines, an increase in temperature from 25 to 40 °C at a CO2 partial pressure of 40 kPa showed a decrease in CO2/CH4 selectivity of only primary amines. Secondary amines are thus more selective amine moieties at these conditions. Furthermore, in isothermal adsorption–desorption conditions, moderately grafted secondary amines have an equal working capacity to primary amines. Both these qualities support secondary amines at moderate densities as candidates for adsorbent development in CO2/CH4 separations
The dark triad and counterproductive work behaviours: A multiple mediation analysis
Prior studies on the dark side of the organisation tend to overlook some important mediator(s) in the relationship between the
dark triad personalities (D.T.P.s) and counterproductive work
behaviour (C.W.B.). Hence, this study examines the multiple-mediation model by incorporating perceived organisational politics
and perceived accountability in the relationship between D.T.P.s
and C.W.B. The sample of 290 employees is selected through a
random sampling technique from the hospitality industry. Partial
least squares structural equation modelling (P.L.S.-S.E.M.) and
bootstrapping are employed to examine the multiple-mediation
model. The results show that perceived organisational politics and
perceived accountability mediate the association of the D.T.P.s
and C.W.B. Our findings provide policymakers with a vision into
the existence of the D.T.P.s and their potential consequences
for C.W.B. This study encourages decision-makers and practitioners to develop an ethical climate, job standards, and systems
of accountability to achieve productive goals
Why honey is effective as a medicine. 1. Its use in modern medicine
Honey has been used as a medicine for thousands of years and its curative properties are well documented. However, modern medicine turned its back on honey and it is only now, with the advent of multi-resistant bacteria, that the antibiotic properties of honey are being rediscovered
Synthesis of 2D Germanane (GeH):a New, Fast, and Facile Approach
Germanane (GeH), a germanium analogue of graphane, has recently attracted considerable interest because its remarkable combination of properties makes it an extremely suitable candidate to be used as 2D material for field effect devices, photovoltaics, and photocatalysis. Up to now, the synthesis of GeH has been conducted by substituting Ca by H in a beta-CaGe2 layered Zintl phase through topochemical deintercalation in aqueous HCl. This reaction is generally slow and takes place over 6 to 14 days. The new and facile protocol presented here allows to synthesize GeH at room temperature in a significantly shorter time (a few minutes), which renders this method highly attractive for technological applications. The GeH produced with this method is highly pure and has a band gap (E-g) close to 1.4 eV, a lower value than that reported for germanane synthesized using HCl, which is promising for incorporation of GeH in solar cells
Quantum dynamics in strong fluctuating fields
A large number of multifaceted quantum transport processes in molecular
systems and physical nanosystems can be treated in terms of quantum relaxation
processes which couple to one or several fluctuating environments. A thermal
equilibrium environment can conveniently be modelled by a thermal bath of
harmonic oscillators. An archetype situation provides a two-state dissipative
quantum dynamics, commonly known under the label of a spin-boson dynamics. An
interesting and nontrivial physical situation emerges, however, when the
quantum dynamics evolves far away from thermal equilibrium. This occurs, for
example, when a charge transferring medium possesses nonequilibrium degrees of
freedom, or when a strong time-dependent control field is applied externally.
Accordingly, certain parameters of underlying quantum subsystem acquire
stochastic character. Herein, we review the general theoretical framework which
is based on the method of projector operators, yielding the quantum master
equations for systems that are exposed to strong external fields. This allows
one to investigate on a common basis the influence of nonequilibrium
fluctuations and periodic electrical fields on quantum transport processes.
Most importantly, such strong fluctuating fields induce a whole variety of
nonlinear and nonequilibrium phenomena. A characteristic feature of such
dynamics is the absence of thermal (quantum) detailed balance.Comment: review article, Advances in Physics (2005), in pres
Pan-cancer analysis of whole genomes
Cancer is driven by genetic change, and the advent of massively parallel sequencing has enabled systematic documentation of this variation at the whole-genome scale(1-3). Here we report the integrative analysis of 2,658 whole-cancer genomes and their matching normal tissues across 38 tumour types from the Pan-Cancer Analysis of Whole Genomes (PCAWG) Consortium of the International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC) and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). We describe the generation of the PCAWG resource, facilitated by international data sharing using compute clouds. On average, cancer genomes contained 4-5 driver mutations when combining coding and non-coding genomic elements; however, in around 5% of cases no drivers were identified, suggesting that cancer driver discovery is not yet complete. Chromothripsis, in which many clustered structural variants arise in a single catastrophic event, is frequently an early event in tumour evolution; in acral melanoma, for example, these events precede most somatic point mutations and affect several cancer-associated genes simultaneously. Cancers with abnormal telomere maintenance often originate from tissues with low replicative activity and show several mechanisms of preventing telomere attrition to critical levels. Common and rare germline variants affect patterns of somatic mutation, including point mutations, structural variants and somatic retrotransposition. A collection of papers from the PCAWG Consortium describes non-coding mutations that drive cancer beyond those in the TERT promoter(4); identifies new signatures of mutational processes that cause base substitutions, small insertions and deletions and structural variation(5,6); analyses timings and patterns of tumour evolution(7); describes the diverse transcriptional consequences of somatic mutation on splicing, expression levels, fusion genes and promoter activity(8,9); and evaluates a range of more-specialized features of cancer genomes(8,10-18).Peer reviewe
