The remote work trend is expected to continue even post the pandemic, necessitating for organizational understanding of the factors impacting employee well-being. Using the Job Demands–Resources model as the theoretical framework, this study aims to understand the role of job demands and resources as predictors of employee well-being in the pandemic context. Design/methodology/approach A self-administered online survey questionnaire was used to gather quantitative data about remote workers’ (n = 204) perceptions of specifically identified demands, resources and employee well-being. Descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation and moderated hierarchical regression were used to analyse the data. Findings This study found that job demands in the form of work–home conflict were associated with reduced empl...

The main purpose of examination is to identify the source or origin of the typewritten documents or the link between two typescripts that can be vital to a court of law. Immense application of the typewriter increased the production of fraudulent documents for deceit. Typewritten documents are examined using scientific methods based on class and individual characteristics. These are physical and chemical methods of observation and comparison.

There is enough evidence to suggest that the roots of essential hypertension in adults extend into childhood. There is a paucity of literature on the blood pressure measurements amongst children. This study was done to study blood pressure profile of school children in Gulbarga, Karnataka, India. AIM & OBJECTIVES: To determine the prevalence of hypertension in children 6-15 years of age and to study the association between selected variables and blood pressure. MATERIAL & METHODS: The present study was a school based cross sectional study conducted in 2 Government Primary Schools and 2 Private Secondary Schools of Gulbarga city. For the study 1320 children in the age group 6-15 years were selected. Sample size of 347 was calculated by, using the formula for sample size calculation for single population proportion from a Study where the prevalence of hypertension was 2.42%.The data was collected in a Pre designed pre tested Performa and analyzed using appropriate statistical tests. RESULTS: The prevalence of hypertension in the study was found to be 2.42% with 2.4% in females and 2.3% in males. CONCLUSION: In the study, hypertension in students was found to be significantly associated with age, height and weight. There was no significant difference in blood pressures of the two sexes, when the values are corrected for maturation status; it was found that body weight and height are the principle determinants of blood pressure. With the onset of puberty spurt in systolic blood pressure was observed in both sexes equally.

Lebih spesifik, penelitian ini untuk memaparkan implementasi kerja kelompok dan pengaruhnya terhadap pencapaian siswa dalam pengajaran keterampilan menulis di MAN 2 Model Palu. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif. Sampelnya adalah 1 guru bahasa Inggris MAN 2 Model Palu dan 19 siswa kelas XI Religion 2. Datanya diperoleh dari kuisioner, wawancara, lembar pengamatan, dokumentasi, dan rekaman. Analisis data merupakan proses yang berkesinambungan untuk mengantisipasi adanya data yang berlebihan. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa guru menerapkan kerja kelompok dengan semestinya dan inovatif. Siswa mendapat nilai lebih tinggi ketika mereka menulis dalam kelompok daripada secara individu. Jadi, implementasi pengelompokan kelas dalam pengajaran keterampilan menulis memiliki pengaruh positif terhadap keberhasilan pencapaian nilai keterampil...

It is mainly a Mediterranean-European genus with c. 15, mostly polymorphic, species, which show evidence of recent speciation, possibly as recent as the last glaciation. In the west of its distributional range, where the greatest morphological variation occurs, there has been much recent investigation on morphology, anatomy, phenetics, molecular evidence and nomenclature. This research has provided considerable evidence for a reduction in the number of taxa that should be recognised. Ongoing research is focused on more detailed molecular studies and incorporating the East Mediterranean taxa within the framework established for those of the West. In Flora of Turkey (6: 86, 1978), 4 mostly localised species were recognised in one of which, J. supina Sieber, 4 subspecies are accepted. Further investigation of these Turkish taxa is a prerequisite towards a fuller understanding of the taxonomy and phylogeny of this interesting genus.
