It has been shown (Wing and Giddens 1959, Wing 1960) that schizophrenics may benefit from a course at a Ministry of Labour Industrial Rehabilitation Unit. Psychiatric cases make “special demands on the staff time” (Ministry of Labour Gazette 1962) and if they comprise too high a proportion, may alter the atmosphere of the Unit from “industrial” to “hospital”. There follows a need for limitation by selection of such cases. Selection procedures however have not been fully worked out (Wing 1960).

Laboratory bioassays were conducted to detect possible alteration in susceptibility of two field Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) populations (sampled in a warehouse in Nikinci and a silo in Jakovo) to dichlorvos, malathion, chlorpyrifos-methyl, pirimiphos-methyl, deltamethrin and bifenthrin after previous selection with the LD80 of pirimiphos-methyl and deltamethrin. Data from the topical application bioassays show that chlorpyrifos-methyl was the most toxic insecticide to T. castaneum adults of the Nikinci population selected with pirimiphosmethyl and deltamethrin, while malathion was the weakest, and both selection procedures changed/reduced significantly only the toxicity of deltamethrin and bifenthrin, increasing their resistance ratios (RR) at the LD50 from 1.1 to 1.8 (bifenthrin) and from 0.9 to 2.2 (deltamethrin). Deltamethrin was the most toxic insecticide for Jakovo adults selected with the LD80 of pirimiphosmethyl, while malathion was again the least toxic. Selection of that population had no effect on insecticide toxicity, except of malathion, which had a rise in RR at the LD50 from 26.0 to 29.8.

Tests and other personnel selection procedures help in selecting good employees. Test utility studies show the value of selection for increasing productivity. Information about a test and about productivity of the workers can be used to quantify the gain that can be achieved by selecting the better workers. Increasing productivity by $5,000 per year per hire is not too much to expect.

The validity and credibility of assertions on the efficiency and equity of selection procedures is dependent on the methodology with which the procedure was developed and justified. An ideal approach to the development and justification of a selection procedure was derived from standard guidelines and operationalized in the form of a comprehensive checklist. A psychometric audit on the developmental history of the selection procedure for the selection of commission advisors was undertaken. Various shortcomings were identified and rectified or recommendations were made on rectifying them. The audit found that the selection procedure had zero validity, negative utility and discriminated unfairly.

Iq Tests

An attempt is made to estimate the extent to which formal psychological and psychiatric techniques are being employed in the selection of police recruits. To do this, the authors surveyed the 61 U. S. cities with populations greater than 150,000, according to the 1950 census. The kinds of techniques in use, and the frequency with which they are employed, are listed in Table 1. Items found in the most popular type of instrument, specially devised policeman selection tests, are classified and discussed. It is concluded that the varied items do not assess different aptitudes but, rather, lead to an unintentional pre-occupation with correlates of general intelligence. Further discussion focuses on the following factors: (a) even those departments which recognize policeman examinations to be intelligence tests, usually use the former in preference to standardized IQ tests; (b) little is being done to evaluate the personalities of applicants; (c) it appears that there is little or no research being done upon police selection techniques; (d) not many psychologists are involved either in research upon, or in the use of, the selection procedures now employed.

The selection of animals or plants for high values of a certain character may favour not only genotypes associated with these high values but also genotypes associated with high variability. Any differences between genotypes in variability may therefore be of considerable importance in plant and livestock improvement programmes as well as in evolution. The effects of various selection procedures on variability have been studied in three recent experiments [Falconer & Robertson (1956) Falconer (1957) and Prout (1962)]. In these experiments one line was continued by selecting, in each generation, parents with values of a particular character near the population mean. Manning (1955, 1956) has described the effects of this kind of selection applied to cotton. Robertson (1956) derived and discussed the theory of such selection procedures when certain simplifying approximations can be made We shall obtain some more general results and show that Robertson was incorrect in saying that the selection procedure would lead to gene fixation even if the heterozygotes are less variable than the homozygotes. The importance of the results is discussed in section 8.

Model selection procedures play important role in many researches especially quantitative research. . In several area of sciences, the analysis and model selection of experiments are often used and often contains two fundamental goals associated with the experimental response of interest which are to determine the best model. The way to address these goals is to implement a model selection procedure. Then, the objectives of this research are to determine whether or not the final models selected are in agreement or differ substantially across the three approaches to model selection: using Akaike’s Information Criterion, using a p-value criterion, and using a stepwise procedure.. Generally, results from these three models are usually compare to each other. All selected models are based on the heredity principle to design the possible model for each design. The actual data from literature, consisting of the 2x3 and 32 and 3x4 factorial designs are used to determine the final model. The results show that the P-Value WH and Stepwise methods give the highest percentage of matched model.

THE COMPETITIVE SELECTION PROCEDURE FOR MANAGEMENT STAFF: LEGAL ISSUES Summary This analysis relates to the legal issues in the competitive selection of management staff. Under the current provisions in Poland many legal acts pertain to this issue, giving an inhomogeneous set of regulations for the principles of conducting such procedures in particular domains of public, social and economic affairs. The subject of this article is a detailed description of the stages of the procedure for the competitive selection of management staff. Good legislation to regulate the selection procedures for competitions for management appointments will have a significant influence on the effectiveness of the adopted method of selection. The author presents the successive stages of the procedures for such competitions and conducts an in-depth legal analysis, paying specific attention to legal doubts arising in connection with the application of the current law. On the basis of his analysis he formulates some proposals de lege ferenda addressed to the legislator on the introduction of requisite amendments and supplements to the legal regulations for the procedure of competitive selection of management staff.

The frequent occurrence of BCL2-IgH rearrangements in follicular lymphoma (FL) makes detection of low numbers of tumor cells possible by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The presence of BCL2-IgH in the bone marrow (BM) and peripheral blood of many FL patients at the time of autografting has led to the suggestion that selection of the CD34- enriched fraction may lead to reinfusion of lower numbers of tumor cells. To address this issue, we PCR-amplified BCL2-IgH from fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS)-purified BM CD34+ and CD34- fractions in seven FL patients showing a PCR-detectable translocation in the major breakpoint region of BCL2, five of which showed morphological BM involvement. The total CD34+ fraction showed diminished but residual positivity in the first two cases tested. Therefore, BM cells from the remaining five patients were sorted for the CD34+19- immature population, the CD34+19+ B-cell precursors, and the CD34–19+ mature B-cell fraction. The CD34+19- subpopulation was negative in four of five, despite evident BM infiltration in three cases. In contrast, the CD34+19+ fraction was positive in all three cases tested. These cells represented 0% to 50% (mean, 18%) of the total CD34+ population, suggesting that, if reinfusion of BCL2-IgH- positive cells plays a role in postautograft relapse in FL, therapeutic CD34 selection procedures should include additional purging of the CD34+19+ B-cell precursors or, at least, assessment of the proportion of CD19+ cells in the CD34+ fraction and its correlation with clinical outcome postreinfusion.

A number of normal populations are to be compared in terms of exceedance probability. When comparing two populations, a population is to be designated as better than the other if it has a greater exceedance probability. A Bayes procedure is given for selecting the subset of populations which contains the best population. A Bayes sequential procedure for selection of the best population is also described.
