Participatory Leadership Contributions to Achieving Organizational Symmetry Among Health Sector Workers

The research focused on participatory leadership and its ability to achieve organizational symmetry in the Nineveh Health Department. The aim of the research was to determine the level of participation of principals in the field, as well as to measure the level of organizational symmetry to determine the nature of relationship and impact between participatory leadership and organizational similarity Ninewa, which represented the field in question. Broadly in achieving the objectives of the research, a number of hypotheses centered on the existence of relationships were adopted with a significant correlation between the participatory leadership and the organizational similarity in terms of its dimensions (membership, similarity and allegiance).The study was based on a descriptive analytical approach in the presentation and discussion of the data. The method is used to combine the case description by analyzing and extracting its results. Using a set of statistical methods, the empirical data were analyzed, which included an analysis of the responses and opinions of the 100 respondents in the Ninawa Health Department A number of conclusions were reached, the most important of which was to achieve a significant impact of participatory leadership in organizational symmetry. This means that the adoption of a participatory leadership model contributes to achieving organizational symmetry in the field. Research.Send feedbackHistorySavedCommunity

Cloning and Alternative Splicing Analysis of Bombyx mori Transformer-2 Gene using Silkworm EST Database

We have identified Bombyx mori transformer-2 gene (Bmtra-2) cDNA by blasting the EST database of B. mori. It was expressed in the whole life of the male and female silkworm and was observed as a band of 1.3 kb by Northern blot analysis. By comparing corresponding ESTs to the Bmtra-2 DNA sequence, it was revealed that there were eight exons and seven introns, and all splice sites of exons/introns conformed to the GT/AG rule. Bmtra-2 pre-mRNA can produce multiple mRNAs encoding six distinct isoforms of BmTRA-2 protein using an alternative splicing pathway during processing. Six types of Bmtra-2 cDNA clones were identified by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. All isoforms of BmTRA-2 protein contain two arginine/serine-rich domains and one RNA recognition motif, showing striking organizational similarity to Drosophila TRA-2 proteins.

Infection-Derived Enterococcus faecalisStrains Are Enriched in esp, a Gene Encoding a Novel Surface Protein

ABSTRACT We report the identification of a new cell wall-associated protein of Enterococcus faecalis. Studies on the distribution of the gene encoding this novel surface protein, Esp, reveal a significant (P < 0.001) enrichment in infection-derived E. faecalis isolates. Interestingly, the esp gene was not identified in any of 34 clinical E. faecium isolates or in 4 other less pathogenic enterococcal species tested. Analysis of the structural gene among various E. faecalis isolates reveals the existence of alternate forms of expression of the Esp protein. The deduced primary structure of the Esp protein from strain MMH594, inferred to be 1,873 amino acids (aa) with a predicted mass of ∼202 kDa, reveals a core region consisting of repeat units that make up 50% of the protein. Esp bears global organizational similarity to the Rib and C alpha proteins of group B streptococci. Identity among Esp, Rib, and C alpha proteins is strikingly localized to a stretch of 13 aa within repeats of similar length. The high degree of conservation of this 13-residue sequence suggests that it plays an important role in the natural selection for this trait among infection-derived E. faecalis and group B streptococcal isolates.

Effect of Test Items and Degree of Similarity upon Interference in Learning from Prose Materials

An experiment was performed to assess the effect of retroactive interference upon learning from prose materials. A test-no test variable was incorporated into a 2 × 2 design along with two levels of organizational similarity. Immediate and delayed tests were used to measure the retention of information stated directly in the passage and that which was based upon inference. Including the test after the original learning passage significantly affected retention. Within the no-test condition, subjects who read an interpolated passage which was highly similar to the original passage had significantly fewer correct responses when tested immediately on information that was stated directly in the original passage.
