Demographic Background

The present study attempts to assess the empirical relevance of Becker's theory of commitment to study organizational commitment among blue collar workers. The relative importance of demographic, background and job factors as possible predictors of organizational commitment are examined. The sample is drawn from packaging, power distribution and manufacturing industries in Canada. Stepwise multiple regression analysis is used to isolate the important predictors of organizational commitment.

This study investigates the relationships among Company satisfaction, company commitment and work involvement for a sample of blue-collar workers drawn from packaging, power distribution and manufacturing industries in Canada. Guttman scaling, factor analysis and correlational analysis are the statistical techniques employed to analyze the data. The results confirms the hypothesized positive relationship among the three attitudes.

AIM: To evaluate cardiac affection in type 1 diabetes in relation to Omentin.PATIENTS AND METHODS: Sixty two diabetics and 30 volunteer of the same age and sex were included as a control group. Blood sample was taken for assessment of omentin and oxidized low density lipoprotein (OxLDL), glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1) and lipid profile. Urine sample was taken for assessment of albumin/ creatinine ratio. 24 hour holter was also done. T-test, simple correlation followed by stepwise multiple regression analysis was used for analysis of data.RESULTS: Parameters of 24 hour holter were significantly lower in diabetics. Omentin was significantly lower, while OxLDL were significantly higher than controls. RMSSD, ST deviation and OxLDL were the parameters related to omentin by stepwise multiple regression analysis in diabetics.CONCLUSION: Diabetic patients had a cardiac autonomic neuropathy. A significant reduction of omentin and elevation OxLDL imply that they influence glucose metabolism in type 1 diabetes. Omentin had a significant relation to 24 hr holter which may reflect its role in cardiac affection. Omentin and OxLDL had a role in renal affection.

The purposes of these studies were to examine the influence on the yield of sex-sorted sperm by the different size of sorting gate and to evaluate factors that affect the purity of sex-sorted sperm. As the sorting gate was expanded, so the yield of bovine sex-sorted sperm using flow cytometry was increased. At the same time, the purity of sex-sorted sperm became low. In addition, though the sorting gates were the same size, the purity of sex-sorted sperm differed among trials. These observations indicated the existence of factors that affect purity besides the size of sorting gate. To examine the yield of sex-sorted sperm, X-bearing sex-sorted sperm from 4 Holstein bulls were produced repeatedly 34 times by 3 flow cytometers. The sizes of sorting gates were fixed at 40–42%, 44%, and 46%. Each yield of sorting gate at 40–42%, at 44% and at 46% was compared. To evaluate factors that affect purity, X- or Y-bearing sex-sorted sperm were produced by one flow cytometer. These trials were repeated 160 times for the sorting of X-bearing sperm and 45 times for the sorting of Y-bearing sperm. Stepwise multiple regression analysis was used to analyse the relationships between the purity of sex-sorted sperm and the following sorting conditions, the percentage of oriented sperm, the percentage of dead sperm, degree of separation between X-bearing and Y-bearing sperm, the size of sorting gate, event rate, drop drive frequency, drop delay value and drop delay accuracy. The highest yield was acquired by sorting gate at 44%. The number of sex-sorted sperm was increased as sorting gate was expanded, however, the purity became low. The purities of the sperm by some trials using sorting gate at 46% were less than our acceptable lowest purity that was 90%. So that those sperm must be discarded. Therefore the yield of sorting gate at 44% was greater than sorting gate at 46%. Stepwise multiple regression analysis revealed that the factors for increasing purity of X-bearing sex-sorted sperm were the percentage of oriented sperm (P < 0.001), the degree of separation between X-bearing sperm and Y-bearing sperm (P < 0.001), the drop delay accuracy (P < 0.001), the event rate and the drop drive frequency, and the factor for decreasing purity of X-bearing sex-sorted sperm was the size of sorting gate (P < 0.001). On the other hand, the factors for increasing purity of Y-bearing sex-sorted sperm were the percentage of oriented sperm (P < 0.01), the degree of separation between X-bearing sperm and Y-bearing sperm (P < 0.01) and the event rate (P < 0.05), and the factor for decreasing purity of Y-bearing sex-sorted sperm was the size of sorting gate (P < 0.01). From these results, it can be concluded that the purity of sex-sorted sperm was not depend on simply by size of sorting gate but was more completely explained by other sorting conditions.

Abstract The influence of obesity on plasma fructosamine concentration was studied in 68 diabetic and 1335 nondiabetic subjects from a Chinese community. Obese nondiabetic men (body mass index &gt; 25 kg/m2) had lower fructosamine concentrations than nonobese nondiabetic men (body mass index &lt; or = 25 kg/m2); the pattern was similar for diabetic women. Stepwise multiple-regression analysis showed that, apart from known factors (total protein, albumin, and indices of glycemic control), fructosamine was also associated with body mass index and plasma fasting triglycerides. However, the contribution of these were small except in diabetic women. We conclude that the effect of obesity on fructosamine is small.

The Relationship

Chinese adolescents from Hong Kong (N = 317) participated in a study of the relationship between perceived parental favoritism in terms of affection and control, and suicidal ideation. Correlation analyses showed that adolescents who believed that children in their families were treated differently in terms of affection and control by their mothers and fathers reported greater suicidal ideation; whether they personally were the favored or nonfavored children made no difference. Stepwise multiple regression analysis identified perceived differential maternal affection as the best predictor of suicidal ideation.

Structured Questionnaire

This research focuses upon understanding whether the group factors will serve as predictors and explain the variance in individual's job and life satisfaction. A purposive sampling was adopted for the selection of 475 employees from the four different firms having global operations. A structured questionnaire was distributed amongst respondents and data were analyzed with hierarchical stepwise multiple regression analysis in order to assess the extent of variance in job satisfaction and life satisfaction. The results of the analysis indicate that the dimensions of group factors emerged as significant predictors of job satisfaction and life satisfaction in the diverse organizations.

The Psychosocial Dependency Scale (Rossman, Bloschl, 1982) was adapted on a sample of noninstitutionalized elderly persons (N = 158), and the final, short version of the scale was used in subsequent analysis. Stepwise multiple regression analysis was performed with the dependency scale as a criterion and sociodemograiphic, life satisfaction and psychological distress variables as predictors. The results showed that previous unemployment status, higher level of psychological distress and low education were the variables that most significantly accounted for the variation in the dependency scores. The developmental view of the concept of psychosocial dependency of the elderly is emphasized.
