Number Of New Members Research Articles

THE INFLUENCE OF MOTIVATION AND ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT ON DISCIPLINE IN TRABAS ORGANIZATION

As the only one motor-trail adventure organization in Bandung, TRABAS has an exclusive impression among the bike-lovers. Therefore, the recruitment for new members increases from period to period. Up to today, TRABAS has 1204 members since it was established in 1995. However, the large number of new members does not align with the high participation in signature activities of TRABAS. This research aims to find out how motivation and organizational commitment affect discipline in TRABAS Organization. The research method used is a descriptive method with data collection techniques, namely a questionnaire with a population of 270 organizational administrators in Bandung Raya, and utilizing a purposive sampling method with the Slovin formula to determine the sample size, namely 72 organizational administrators. This research also uses PLS-SEM with the help of Smart-PLS 4. The result of the study based on the descriptive analysis shows that motivation, organizational commitment, and discipline is included in good category. Meanwhile, based on the PLS-SEM Analysis, H1: P-value of 0,000 < 0,05 and the T-statistic value is 3,312 > 1,96, means that H1 is accepted and H2: P-value of 0,001 < 0,05 and the T-statistic value is 5,586 > 1,96, means that H2 is also accepted. The conclusion is motivation, organizational commitment, and discipline in TRABAS is good. In addition, there is an impact from motivation and commitment on discipline in TRABAS organization.

Analisis Penyerapan Tenaga Kerja pada Sektor Parawisata di Indonesia

The tourism industry is considered as the only effective strategy to enhance the level of economic activity in the general population. However, it cannot be denied that compared to other market sectors, this sector has stronger potential. The objective of this research is to examine the impact of investment, wages, and tourist visits on employment within the Indonesian recreation industry. This study utilizes a quantitative panel data approach for the years 2007-2021. The panel data, which employs a quantitative approach, is referred to as pooling. The current research employs regression analysis using multiple lines to determine the effects of investment, minimum wages, and tourist visits on the workforce in the tourism sector in Indonesia from 2007 to 2021. The data used in this study consists of panel data collected between 2007 and 2021, employing non-participant observation techniques for statistical database purposes. The research findings indicate that the F-test results for investment, minimum wages, and tourist visits do not significantly influence the employment practices within the tourism sector. The coefficient of determination is less than 0.570 or 57%, indicating that 57% of the variation can be explained by factors not included in the model. On the other hand, based on the investment test results and the number of new members, the situation in the Indonesian tourism sector has not improved. Conversely, there is evidence that the implementation of the workforce in the Indonesian public sector has progressed.

Editorial: RSN Editorial 2023

It is a pleasure to report that the Premium Award for the best paper published in the journal in 2020/21 is made to Samiur Rahman and Duncan Robertson of the University of St Andrews, Scotland, for their paper Classification of drones and birds using convolutional neural networks applied to radar micro-Doppler spectrogram images, which was published in the May 2020 issue, (Vol. 14 No. 5, pp. 653–661). Drones are becoming more and more widespread in both civil and military operations. It is necessary to be able to detect and classify these targets reliably, and radar is one of the most widely used sensors for the purpose. An important part of this involves distinguishing between drones and birds, which is complicated by the fact that birds and drones have comparable radar cross sections and travel at comparable speeds. However, the micro-Doppler modulation due to the flapping of wings of a bird or the rotation of propeller or rotor blades of a drone are significantly different, so provides a means of solving the problem. The paper describes and demonstrates a classification method based on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) to recognise the features of the micro-Doppler signatures. Experimental data was gathered using two FMCW radars, one operating at 24 GHz and one at 94 GHz, at a local falconry. Excellent results were obtained, with classification accuracies better than 94% and in some cases very close to 100%. The paper is judged to be outstanding because it represents a substantial amount of work—both theoretical and experimental, because of its excellent and significant results, and because of the clarity of its writing. We warmly congratulate the authors on this award.

Family Genomoviridae: 2021 taxonomy update.

The family Genomoviridae (phylum Cressdnaviricota, class Repensiviricetes, order Geplafuvirales) includes viruses with circular single-stranded DNA genomes encoding two proteins, the capsid protein and the rolling-circle replication initiation protein. The genomes of the vast majority of members in this family have been sequenced directly from diverse environmental or animal- and plant-associated samples, but two genomoviruses have been identified infecting fungi. Since the last taxonomic update of the Genomoviridae, a number of new members of this family have been sequenced. Here, we report on the most recent taxonomic update, including the creation of one new genus, Gemytripvirus, and classification of ~420 new genomoviruses into 164 new species. We also announce the adoption of the "Genus + freeform epithet" binomial system for the naming of all 236 officially recognized species in the family Genomoviridae. The updated taxonomy presented in this article has been accepted by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV).

Membership of stars in open clusters using random forest with gaia data

Membership of stars in open clusters is one of the most crucial parameters in studies of star clusters. Gaia opened a new window in the estimation of membership because of its unprecedented 6-D data. In the present study, we used published membership data of nine open star clusters as a training set to find new members from Gaia DR2 data using a supervised random forest model with a precision of around 90%. The number of new members found is often double the published number. Membership probability of a larger sample of stars in clusters is a major benefit in determination of cluster parameters like distance, extinction and mass functions. We also found members in the outer regions of the cluster and found sub-structures in the clusters studied. The color magnitude diagrams are more populated and enriched by the addition of new members making their study more promising.

Church Population Growth Prediction Using Predictive Analytic (Linear Regression Model) Technique

The world today has become highly technological and Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has been identified as one of the basic pillars on which the modern society stands. In Nigeria today, competency in basic ICT skills is now regarded as one of the basic requirements for our day-day activities in religion, economic, financial and political. The use of available ICT tools equally enhances the validity of results and assist management in planning and budgeting for growth. The church cannot be an exception in this regard as “spreading the gospel” is the goal of the churches by growing the number of new members using available tools. The issue of church growth transcends many areas of church activities and the application of the ICT infrastructures could be gainfully put into use in some of these areas for greater impact on church development. The difficulties confronting church organisations in respect of church growth are becoming unsurmountable for those that have refused to embrace and deploy Information and Communication Technologies to enhance growth and its resultant complexities. In this paper, a system capable of predicting church growth with the application of Linear Regression Model (LRM) using the historic data of a growing church is presented. The results demonstrated the importance of predicting the population of organisations such as religious centers that often have a growing teeming population of members. Such results of prediction using ICT tools would be an essential guide in the budgeting requirements of such organisations.

The complete genome sequence of a divergent grapevine virus I isolate naturally infecting grapevine in Greece

A significant number of new members of the genus Vitivirus have been identified recently, mainly due to the advent of high-throughput sequencing (HTS). Grapevine virus I (GVI), which was identified in New Zealand in 2018, is one of these viruses. RNAseq HTS analysis of a Greek grapevine (cv. Daphnia), revealed the presence of a GVI-like isolate (D2-1/19). Sequence analysis confirmed the classification of D2-1/19 as GVI. However, both sequence and phylogenetic data exhibited high levels of variability between D2-1/19 and the previously characterized GVI isolates. This study provides the full-length sequence of a divergent GVI isolate, adding knowledge to the limited information available about this recently identified virus.

‘March Separately, But Strike Together!’ The Communist Party’s United-Front Policy in the Weimar Republic

Abstract The Communist Party of Germany (KPD) first coined the united-front policy in 1921, representing a promising effort to bolster Communist influence in the workers’ movement of that country. As the first part of the article shows, the KPD recruited large numbers of new members and significantly improved its electoral returns as a result. Despite this success, however, the party only pursued the united-front policy in two phases (1921–3 and 1926). As illustrated in the second part of the article, the KPD bid farewell to the united front as ‘Stalinisation’ began to set in during the Weimar Republic’s final years – with lethal consequences, as its abandonment decisively abetted the victory of German fascism.

Library marketing

In order to attract more non-medical staff, the Sir Thomas Browne Library at the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital decided to create a marketing campaign called “Love Your Library.” The campaign sought to make non-medical staff aware of the library’s many services and materials available to them. During the campaign, the library increased the number of new members by 160%, with 25% of these being non-medical members. Future promotions will help create a community hub for staff and achieve a prominent position within the Trust.

The Emerging Role of Senescence in Ocular Disease.

Cellular senescence is a state of irreversible cell cycle arrest in response to an array of cellular stresses. An important role for senescence has been shown for a number of pathophysiological conditions that include cardiovascular disease, pulmonary fibrosis, and diseases of the skin. However, whether senescence contributes to the progression of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) has not been studied in detail so far and the present review describes the recent research on this topic. We present an overview of the types of senescence, pathways of senescence, senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), the role of mitochondria, and their functional implications along with antisenescent therapies. As a central mechanism, senescent cells can impact the surrounding tissue microenvironment via the secretion of a pool of bioactive molecules, termed the SASP. An updated summary of a number of new members of the ever-growing SASP family is presented. Further, we introduce the significance of mechanisms by which mitochondria may participate in the development of cellular senescence. Emerging evidence shows that extracellular vesicles (EVs) are important mediators of the effects of senescent cells on their microenvironment. Based on recent studies, there is reasonable evidence that senescence could be a modifiable factor, and hence, it may be possible to delay age-related diseases by modulating basic aging mechanisms using SASP inhibitors/senolytic drugs. Thus, antisenescent therapies in aging and age-related diseases appear to have a promising potential.

Closing target trimming and CTTdocker programs for discovering hidden superfamily loci in genomes.

The contemporary capacity of genome sequence analysis significantly lags behind the rapidly evolving sequencing technologies. Retrieving biological meaningful information from an ever-increasing amount of genome data would be significantly beneficial for functional genomic studies. For example, the duplication, organization, evolution, and function of superfamily genes are arguably important in many aspects of life. However, the incompleteness of annotations in many sequenced genomes often results in biased conclusions in comparative genomic studies of superfamilies. Here, we present a Perl software, called Closing Target Trimming (CTT), for automatically identifying most, if not all, members of a gene family in any sequenced genomes on CentOS 7 platform. To benefit a broader application on other operating systems, we also created a Docker application package, CTTdocker. Our test data on the F-box gene superfamily showed 78.2 and 79% gene finding accuracies in two well annotated plant genomes, Arabidopsis thaliana and rice, respectively. To further demonstrate the effectiveness of this program, we ran it through 18 plant genomes and five non-plant genomes to compare the expansion of the F-box and the BTB superfamilies. The program discovered that on average 12.7 and 9.3% of the total F-box and BTB members, respectively, are new loci in plant genomes, while it only found a small number of new members in vertebrate genomes. Therefore, different evolutionary and regulatory mechanisms of Cullin-RING ubiquitin ligases may be present in plants and animals. We also annotated and compared the Pkinase family members across a wide range of organisms, including 10 fungi, 10 metazoa, 10 vertebrates, and 10 additional plants, which were randomly selected from the Ensembl database. Our CTT annotation recovered on average 14% more loci, including pseudogenes, of the Pkinase superfamily in these 40 genomes, demonstrating its robust replicability and scalability in annotating superfamiy members in any genomes.

Politics, Science, and Termination: A Case Study of Water Fluoridation Policy in Calgary in 2011

AbstractPolicy termination is identified as a rare occurrence and thus difficult to study. However, one policy area, community water fluoridation, has seen an apparent increase in termination in recent years. We examine the specific case of termination in Calgary, Alberta in 2011 with a specific goal to apply Kingdon's Multiple Streams Approach to the policy termination framework. Our findings suggest that of key importance for the termination of water fluoridation was the impending need for an upgrade to the fluoridation infrastructure, the effectiveness of the local anti‐fluoridation activists, the speed of decision making, and a prominent framing of the issue in ethical terms. The opening of a policy window made possible by the 2010 Calgary municipal election, one that introduced a number of new members to council, as well as the presence of a policy entrepreneur who took advantage of the window's opening, were of specific importance to the success of policy termination.

Stochastic differential equation systems for an SIS epidemic model with vaccination and immigration

ABSTRACTTwo Itô stochastic differential equation (SDE) systems are constructed for a Susceptible-Infected-Susceptible epidemic model with temporary vaccination. A constant number of new members enter the population and total size of the population is variable. Some conditions for disease extinction in the stochastic models are established and compared with conditions in deterministic one. It is shown that the two stochastic models are equivalent in the sense that their solutions come from same distribution. In addition, the SDE models are simulated and the equivalence of the two stochastic models is confirmed by numerical examples. The probability distribution for extinction is also obtained numerically, provided there exists a probability for disease persistence whereas the expected duration of epidemic is acquired when extinction occurs with probability 1.

Evolution properties of the community members for dynamic networks

The collective behaviors of community members for dynamic social networks are significant for understanding evolution features of communities. In this Letter, we empirically investigate the evolution properties of the new community members for dynamic networks. Firstly, we separate data sets into different slices, and analyze the statistical properties of new members as well as communities they joined in for these data sets. Then we introduce a parameter φ to describe community evolution between different slices and investigate the dynamic community properties of the new community members. The empirical analyses for the Facebook, APS, Enron and Wiki data sets indicate that both the number of new members and joint communities increase, the ratio declines rapidly and then becomes stable over time, and most of the new members will join in the small size communities that is s≤10. Furthermore, the proportion of new members in existed communities decreases firstly and then becomes stable and relatively small for these data sets. Our work may be helpful for deeply understanding the evolution properties of community members for social networks.

Social Media Followers and Organizational Performance

We study the implications of growth in social media communities built around an organization or its products on performance. Using follower communities of television shows on Twitter and Nielsen viewership ratings as a performance measure to test our theory, we find that doubling the number of new members of the show's community is associated with a ratings increase between 1.2% and 9.8%. The effect is more pronounced for products that engender a higher intensity of interest; among those products the value is higher when the community size is smaller. For products that engender lower intensities of interest, the value of new members is higher when the community size is larger. Our results suggest that social media communities add value beyond levels of interaction and buzz around a product.

Accession Protocols: Legal Status in the WTO Legal System

Accession protocols are unique legal instruments in the World Trade Organization (WTO) legal system. With the increasing numbers of new Members joining the WTO, the number of accession protocols is also on the rise. However, due to the ambiguous legal status of the accession protocols in the WTO legal system, the disputes relating to the understanding and application of the provisions in accession protocols are frequently taking place. Because accession protocols concern the fundamental trade interests of new Members, their status in the WTO legal system is of great importance. The WTO Ministerial Conference and General Council should therefore fulfil their statutory duties in such a way as to mitigate potential challenges posed by the possible legal uncertainty of accession protocols in pursuing the aims of the multilateral trading system, in adhering to and promoting WTO principles and rules as well as the basic principles of international law and in particular situating accession protocols appropriately within the overall WTO legal framework. Specifically, this article proposes that the WTO Ministerial Conference and General Council should properly address the relationship between accession protocols and the Marrakesh Agreement Establishing the World Trade Organization and its annexes. Such action will help to safeguard the legal rights and interests of the new WTO Members.
