The Impact of Inclusive Leadership on Employee Well-being: The Mediating Role of Organizational Trust

In recent years, people pay more and more attention to employees' work experience and mental health, especially employee well-being. Leadership style is one of the factors that affect employee well-being. Recently, there have been more and more researches on inclusive leadership in China. However, the research on the relationship between inclusive leadership and employee well-being in China is still in its infancy, and the mechanism between the two still needs to be further studied.This paper investigates the mediating effect of organizational trust on the relationship between inclusive leadership and employee well-being by using a questionnaire survey of Chinese workers. Based on a survey of 153 participants, the results show that organizational trust can mediate the positive impact of inclusive leadership on employee well-being. At the same time, after the addition of organizational trust as an intermediate variable, the study found that the establishment of organizational trust has a driving effect on improving employee well-being

Augmented Partial Mutual Learning with Frame Masking for Video Captioning

Recent video captioning work improves greatly due to the invention of various elaborate model architectures. If multiple captioning models are combined into a unified framework not only by simple more ensemble, and each model can benefit from each other, the final captioning might be boosted further. Jointly training of multiple model have not been explored in previous works. In this paper, we propose a novel Augmented Partial Mutual Learning (APML) training method where multiple decoders are trained jointly with mimicry losses between different decoders and different input variations. Another problem of training captioning model is the "one-to-many" mapping problem which means that one identical video input is mapped to multiple caption annotations. To address this problem, we propose an annotation-wise frame masking approach to convert the "one-to-many" mapping to "one-to-one" mapping. The experiments performed on MSR-VTT and MSVD datasets demonstrate our proposed algorithm achieves the state-of-the-art performance

Prevalence and serotype distribution of nasopharyngeal carriage of Streptococcus pneumoniae in China: a meta-analysis

Abstract Background To explore the overall prevalence and serotype distribution of nasopharyngeal carriage of Streptococcus pneumoniae(S. pneumoniae) among healthy children. Methods A search for pneumococcal nasopharyngeal carriage studies including children published up to July 31th, 2016 was conducted to describe carriage in China. The review also describes antibiotic resistance in and serotypes of S. pneumoniae and assesses the impact of vaccination on carriage in this region. Summary measures for overall prevalence, antibiotic resistance, and serotype distributions extracted from the analyzed data were determined with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) using random-effects models. Heterogeneity was assessed using I 2 test statistics. Results Thirty-seven studies were included in this review, and the majority of studies (64.9%) were located in the pre-introduction period of 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV7) in China. The pooled prevalence of S. pneumoniae nasopharyngeal carriage was 21.4% (95% CI: 18.3–24.4%). Carriage was highest in children attending kindergartens [24.5%, (19.7–29.3%)] and decreased with increasing age. Before the introduction of PCV7 into China, the prevalence of S. pneumoniae nasopharyngeal carriage was 25.8% (20.7–30.9%), the pooled carriage of S. pneumoniae sharply dropped into the 14.1% (11.3–16.9%) by PCV7 vaccination period (P < 0.001). Before the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) was introduced in China, the penicillin resistance rate in S. pneumoniae isolated from healthy children was 31.9% (21.2–42.6%); however, this rate sharply decreased after the introduction of PCV7 in China [21.6%, (7.4–35.9%)], and the difference between the rates during these two time periods was statistically significant (P value <0.05). Serotypes 19F, 6A and 23F were the most commonly isolated. Meta-analysis of data from young children showed a pooled rate estimate of 46.6% (38.8–54.4%) for PCV7 vaccine coverage and 66.2% (58.6–73.8%) for PCV13 vaccine coverage. Conclusions The prevalence of nasopharyngeal carriage among children was high in China. PCV7 immunization was found to be associated with reduction of nasopharyngeal colonization of S. pneumoniae. Conjugate vaccination coverage was slightly affected by the introduction of PCV7 into China because of low vaccination rate. The government should implement timely adjusted conjugate vaccination strategies based on our findings

In Situ Observation of Microstructural and Inclusions Evolution in High-Strength Steel Deposited Metals with Various Rare Earth Pr Contents

The evolution of austenite, acicular ferrite, upper bainite and martensite, and the nucleation of inclusions in the microstructure of high-strength steel deposited metals, was systematically investigated using three kinds of A5.28 E120C-K4 metal-cored wires with various rare earth Pr contents. Grain structure evolution in the process of high temperature, dispersoid characteristics of inclusions and the crystallographic characteristics of the microstructure were assessed. Compared with no addition of Pr6O11, adding 1%Pr6O11 resulted in refined, spheroidized and dispersed inclusions in the deposited metal, leading to an increase in the pinning forces on the grain boundary movement, promoting the formation of an ultra-fine grain structure with an average diameter of 41 μm. The inclusions in the deposited metals were Mn-Si-Pr-Al-Ti-O after Pr addition; the average size of the inclusions in the Pr-containing deposited metals was the smallest, while the number and density of inclusions was the highest. The size of effective inclusions (nucleus of acicular ferrite formation) was mainly in the range of 0.6–1.5 μm. In addition, the content of upper bainite decreased, while the percentage of acicular ferrite increased by 24% due to the increase in the number of effective inclusions in the Pr-containing deposited metals in this study. This study shows that the addition of 1% Pr6O11 is efficient in achieving fine interlaced multiphase with an ultrafine-grained structure, resulting in an enhancement of the impact toughness of the deposited metal

Etiology of acute otitis media and phenotypic-molecular characterization of Streptococcus pneumoniae isolated from children in Liuzhou, China

Abstract Background The etiology and epidemiology of acute otitis media (AOM) are poorly understood in China. This study aimed to describe the etiology of AOM and the phenotypic and molecular characteristics of AOM-causing Streptococcus pneumoniae (S.pneumoniae) recovered from Chinese children. Methods A retrospective study was conducted to enrol patients younger than 18 years diagnosed as AOM. Middle ear fluid specimens were collected then cultured for bacterial pathogens. All S.pneumoniae isolates were tested for antibiotic susceptibility, serotypes, virulence genes, antibiotic resistant determinants and sequence types. Results The dominant otopathogen among AOM children was S.pneumoniae (54.4%). Among S.pneumoniae isolates, there were 97.3, 97.3 and 75.7% isolates resistant to erythromycin, tetracycline and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, respectively. There was 72.8% S.pneumoniae with multidrug resistance. The dominant sequence types (STs) were ST271 and ST320, whereas the prevailing serotypes were 19F and 19A. The 7-valent and 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) coverage among AOM children were 73.0 and 94.6%, respectively. Additionally, we found that CC271 expressed more of mef(A/E) (P < 0.001), pspA (P = 0.022) and sipA (P < 0.001) than non-CC271 isolates. Conclusion The high prevalence of international multidrug-resistant clone (Taiwan19F-14) in China necessitates continued dedication to expand PCV13 immunization and better control of antibiotic use in China

Effect of Heat Input on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Deposited Metal of E120C-K4 High Strength Steel Flux-Cored Wire

The effect of different heat inputs of 1.45 kJ/mm, 1.78 kJ/mm and 2.31 kJ/mm on the microstructure and mechanical properties of deposited metals of the self-developed AWS A5.28 E120C-K4 high strength steel flux-cored wire was studied by optical microscope, scanning electron microscope and mechanical property test. With the increase in heat input, the results showed that the microstructure of deposited metals became coarse. Acicular ferrite increased at first and then decreased, granular bainite increased and degenerated upper bainite and martensite decreased slightly. Under the low heat input of 1.45 kJ/mm, the cooling rate was fast and the element diffusion was uneven, which caused composition segregation and easy to form large size inclusions SiO2-TiC-CeAlO3 with weak binding to the matrix. Under the middle heat input of 1.78 kJ/mm, the composite rare earth inclusions in dimples were mainly TiC-CeAlO3. The dimples were small and uniformly distributed, and the dimple fracture mainly depended on the wall-breaking connection between medium-sized dimples rather than an intermediate media. Under the high heat input of 2.31 kJ/mm, SiO2 was easy to adhere to high melting point Al2O3 oxides to form irregular composite inclusions. Such irregular inclusions do not need to absorb too much energy to form necking. Finally, the integrated effects of microstructure and inclusions resulted in the optimum mechanical properties of deposited metals with a heat input of 1.78 kJ/mm, which was a tensile strength of 793 MPa and an average impact toughness at −40 °C of 56 J

Bacterial Whole Cell Typing by Mass Spectra Pattern Matching with Bootstrapping Assessment

Bacterial typing is of great importance in clinical diagnosis, environmental monitoring, food safety analysis, and biological research. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) is now widely used to analyze bacterial samples. Identification of bacteria at the species level can be realized by matching the mass spectra of samples against a library of mass spectra of known bacteria. Nevertheless, in order to reasonably type bacteria, identification accuracy should be further improved. Herein, we propose a new framework to the identification and assessment for MALDI-MS based bacterial analysis. Our approach combines new measures for spectra similarity and a novel bootstrapping assessment. We tested our approach on a general data set containing the mass spectra of 1741 strains of bacteria and another challenging data set containing 250 strains, including 40 strains in the <i>Bacillus cereus</i> group that were previously claimed to be impossible to resolve by MALDI-MS. With the bootstrapping assessment, we achieved much more reliable predictions at both the genus and species level, and enabled to resolve the <i>Bacillus cereus</i> group. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, our method is the first to provide a statistical assessment to MALDI-MS based bacterial typing that could lead to more reliable bacterial typing
