Rural men and mental health: their experiences and how they managed
There is a growing awareness that a primary source of information about mental health lies with the consumers. This article reports on a study that interviewed rural men
with the aim of exploring their mental health experiences within a rural environment. The results of the interviews are a number of stories of resilience and survival that
highlight not only the importance of exploring the individuals' perspective of their issues, but also of acknowledging and drawing on their inner strengths. Rural men face a number of challenges that not only increase the risk of mental illness but also decrease the likelihood of them seeking and/or finding professional support. These men's stories, while different from each other, have a common thread of coping. Despite some support from family and friends participants also acknowledged that seeking out professional support could have made the recovery phase easier. Mental health nurses need to be aware, not only of the barrier to professional support but also of the significant resilience that individuals have and how it can be utilised
Filtered multiplicative bases of restricted enveloping algebras
We study the problem of the existence of filtered multiplicative bases of a restricted enveloping algebra u(L), where L is a finite-dimensional and p-nilpotent restricted Lie
algebra over a field of positive characteristic p
What do we know about cross-country comparative studies in HRM? A critical review of literature in the period of 2000-2014
Significant progress has been made in the research on variations in HRM across national boundaries, in both the quantity of studies and theoretical advancements since the mid-1980s. The aim of this paper is to provide a systematic review of existing literature on cross-country comparative studies of HRM as an important strand of the international HRM field in order to shed new light on dominant key concerns and themes, and emerging syntheses. More specifically, we conducted a systematic review of cross-country comparative HRM studies published in academic journals in the English language in the 15-year period of 2000–2014. Our paper charted the development of cross-country comparative studies of HRM as a sub-field of HRM research. Our analysis of 125 articles from 30 business and management journals shows the countries/regions that have been studied, topics, and research methods used. We also highlight a number of research avenues for further study in this field. Although there are a number of distinct strands to the literature, our study concludes that there is an emerging common ground in underlying concerns and theoretical assumptions both within the field, and with other areas of management inquiry

Supramolecular polymer assembly in aqueous solution arising from cyclodextrin host-guest complexation
The employment of cyclodextrin host, guest complexation to construct supramolecular assemblies with an emphasis on polymer networks is reviewed. The main driving force for this supramolecular assembly is host, guest complexation between cyclodextrin hosts and guest groups either of which may be discrete molecular species or substituents on a polymer backbone. The effects of such complexation on properties at the molecular and macroscopic levels are discussed. It is shown that cyclodextrin complexation may be used to design functional polymer materials with tailorable properties, especially for photo-, pH-, thermo- and redoxresponsiveness and self-healing.Jie Wang, Zhiqiang Qiu, Yiming Wang, Li Li, Xuhong Guo, Duc-Truc Pham, Stephen F.

Does Co-Creation of Service Recovery Create Value for Customers? The Underlying Mechanism of Motivation and the Role of Operant Resources
International audienceThis study focuses on the underlying mechanism that leads to co‐recovery behaviour and favourable co‐created value as response to a service failure. It argues that consumers’ ability to integrate their operant resources (e.g., knowledge and skills) to co‐recover from a service failure motivates them to express higher value co‐recovery in‐role behaviour and hence enjoy higher hedonic and utilitarian values. To test this claim, our study investigates the impact of consumers’ ability to co‐recover on value co‐recovery in‐role behaviour by taking into account extrinsic and intrinsic motivation as mediators. The results reveal that extrinsic motivation only partially mediates the relationship between ability to co‐recover and value co‐recovery in‐role behaviour. Furthermore, the outcomes demonstrate that value co‐recovery in‐role behaviour increases utilitarian value but decreases hedonic valu
Search for Light CP-odd Higgs in Radiative Decays of Upsilon(1S)
We search for a non-SM-like CP-odd Higgs boson (a0_1) with m(a0_1)< 2m(b) in
radiative decays of the Upsilon(1S), using 21.5M Upsilon(1S) mesons directly
produced in e+e- annihilation. We investigate a0_1 --> tau+tau- and a0_1 -->
mu+mu- decay channels. No significant signal is found. We obtain upper limits
on the product of B(Upsilon(1S)-->gamma a0_1) and B(a0_1-->tau+tau-) or
B(a0_1-->mu+mu-). Our tau+tau- results are almost two orders of magnitude more
stringent than previous upper limits. Our data provide no evidence for a Higgs
state with a mass of 214 MeV decaying to mu+mu-. Existence of such a state was
previously proposed as an explanation for 3 Sigma+ --> p mu+mu- events, having
mu+mu- masses just above the kinematic threshold, observed by the HyperCP
experiment. Our results constrain NMSSM models.Comment: 12 pages, available through http://www.lns.cornell.edu/public/CLNS/,

Di-electron Widths of the Upsilon(1S,2S,3S) Resonances
We determine the di-electron widths of the Upsilon(1S), Upsilon(2S), and
Upsilon(3S) resonances with better than 2% precision by integrating the
cross-section of e+e- -> Upsilon over the e+e- center-of-mass energy. Using
e+e- energy scans of the Upsilon resonances at the Cornell Electron Storage
Ring and measuring Upsilon production with the CLEO detector, we find
di-electron widths of 1.354 +- 0.004 (stat) +- 0.020 (syst) keV, 0.619 +- 0.004
+- 0.010 keV, and 0.446 +- 0.004 +- 0.007 keV for the Upsilon(1S), Upsilon(2S),
and Upsilon(3S), respectively.Comment: 9 pages, 4 figures, also available through

Confirmation of the Y(4260) Resonance Production in ISR
Using 13.3 fb^-1 of e+e- collision data taken in the Upsilon(1S-4S) region
with the CLEO III detector at the CESR collider, a search has been made for the
new resonance Y(4260) recently reported by the BaBar Collaboration. The
production of Y(4260) in initial state radiation (ISR), and its decay into
pi+pi-J/psi are confirmed. A good quality fit to our data is obtained with a
single resonance. We determine M(Y(4260))=(4284+17-16(stat)+-4(syst)) MeV/c^2,
Gamma(Y(4260))=(73+39-25(stat)+-5(syst)) MeV/c^2, and
Gamma_ee(Y(4260))xBr(Y(4260)->pi+pi-J/psi)=(8.9+3.9-3.1(stat)+-1.9(syst))

Improved Measurement of cal{B}(D^+ --> mu^+ nu) and the Pseudoscalar Decay Constant f_{D^+}
We extract a relatively precise value for the decay constant of the D+ meson
by measuring B(D+ -> mu+ nu)=(4.40 +/- 0.66 {+0.09}{-0.12}) x 10^{-4}, using
281 inverse-pb of data taken on the psi(3770) resonance with the CLEO-c
detector. We find fD+=(222.6 +/- 16.7 {+2.8}{-3.4}) MeV, and compare with
current theoretical calculations. We also set a 90% confidence upper limit on
B(D+ -> e+ nu)<2.4 x 10^{-5} which limits contributions from non-standard model
physics.Comment: 9 pages postscript,also available through
