Slight absolute changes in the Shanghai Stock Exchange Index (SHSE) corresponded to the city’s immediate increases in coronary heart disease deaths and stroke deaths. Significant fluctuations in the Shenzhen Stock Exchange Index (SZSE) corresponded to the country’s minor, delayed death rates. Investors deal with money, greed, stock volatility, and risky decision-making. Happy people live longer and better. We ask the following question: Who are the investors with the highest and most sustainable stock happiness, and why? Monetary wisdom asserts: Investors apply their deep-rooted values (avaricious love-of-money aspiration and locus of control, Level 2) as a lens to frame critical concerns in the proximal-immediate (Shanghai Stock Exchange Index changes, Level 1) and the omnibus-distal contexts (domicile: city vs. country, Level 2) to maximize expected utility (portfolio changes, Level 1) and ultimate serenity (stock happiness, Level 1). We collected multilevel data—the longitudinal SHSE and 227 private investors’ daily stock happiness and portfolio changes for 36 consecutive trading days in four regions of China. Investors had an average liquid asset of $76,747.41 and $54,660.85 in stocks. This study is not a “one-shot” game with “nothing at stake.” We classified Shanghai and Beijing as the city and Shenzhen and Chongqing as the country. Our cross-level 3-D visualization reveals that regardless of SHSE volatility, investors with low aspiration, external control, and country domicile enjoy the highest and most sustainable stock happiness with minimum fluctuations. Independently, investors with low aspiration, external control, and country domicile tend to make fewer portfolio changes than their counterparts. Behaviorally, less is more, debunking the myth—risky decisions excite stock happiness. Our longitudinal study expands prospect theory, incorporates attitude toward money, and makes robust contributions to behavioral economics and business ethics. We help investors and ordinary citizens make happy, healthy, and wealthy decisions. Most importantly, the life you save may be your own.

Person–environment fit is of great importance in organizational behavior research. Drawing from the relations between employees, supervisors, and organizations, this study discusses how the relation between person–organization fit (P–O fit) and person–supervisor fit (P–S fit) affects employees' attitudes and performance. We conducted a field study of 247 employees to test our hypotheses via regression analysis. The results indicate that P–O fit and P–S fit have a positive interactive effect rather than independent effects on employees' organizational commitment. In addition, organizational commitment mediates the interactive relation between fit and employee role-based performance (i.e., job role performance and career role performance). This study sheds light on research into P–E fit by highlighting the multiplicative effect of different dimensions of fit and elucidating the underlying mechanism.

Corruption involves greed, money, and risky decision-making. We explore the love of money, pay satisfaction, probability of risk, and dishonesty across cultures. Avaricious monetary aspiration breeds unethicality. Prospect theory frames decisions in the gains-losses domain and high-low probability. Pay dissatisfaction (in the losses domain) incites dishonesty in the name of justice at the individual level. The Corruption Perceptions Index, CPI, signals a high-low probability of getting caught for dishonesty at the country level. We theorize that decision-makers adopt avaricious love-of-money aspiration as a lens and frame dishonesty in the gains-losses domain (pay satisfaction-dissatisfaction, Level 1) and high-low probability (CPI, Level 2) to maximize expected utility and ultimate serenity. We challenge the myth: Pay satisfaction mitigates dishonesty across nations consistently. Based on 6500 managers in 32 countries, our cross-level three-dimensional visualization offers the following discoveries. Under high aspiration conditions, pay dissatisfaction excites the highest- (third-highest) avaricious justice-seeking dishonesty in high (medium) CPI nations, supporting the certainty effect. However, pay satisfaction provokes the second-highest avaricious opportunity-seizing dishonesty in low CPI entities, sustaining the possibility effect-maximizing expected utility. Under low aspiration conditions, high pay satisfaction consistently leads to low dishonesty, demonstrating risk aversion-achieving ultimate serenity. We expand prospect theory from a micro and individual-level theory to a cross-level theory of monetary wisdom across 32 nations. We enhance the S-shaped Curve to three 3-D corruption surfaces across three levels of the global economic pyramid, providing novel insights into behavioral economics, business ethics, the environment, and responsibility.

RX J1301.9+2747 is a unique active galaxy with supersoft X-ray spectrum that lacks significant emission at energies above 2 keV. In addition, it is one of few galaxies displaying quasi-periodic X-ray eruptions that recur on a timescale of 13-20 ks. We present multi-epoch radio observations of RX J1301.9+2747 using GMRT, VLA and VLBA. The VLBA imaging at 1.6 GHz reveals a compact radio emission unresolved at a scale of 5x10^7 K. The radio emission is variable by more than a factor of 2.5 over a few days, based on the data taken from VLA monitoring campaigns. The short-term radio variability suggests that the radio emitting region has a size as small as 8x10^{-4} pc, resulting in an even higher brightness temperature of T_b ~10^{12} K. A similar limit on the source size can be obtained if the observed flux variability is not intrinsic and caused by the interstellar scintillation effect. The overall radio spectrum is steep with a time-averaged spectral index alpha=-0.78+/-0.03 between 0.89 GHz and 14 GHz. These observational properties rule out a thermal or star-formation origin of the radio emission, and appear to be consistent with the scenario of episodic jet ejections driven by magnetohydrodynamic process. Simultaneous radio and X-ray monitoring observations down to a cadence of hours are required to test whether the compact and variable radio emission is correlated with the quasi-periodic X-ray eruptions., 11 pages, 3 figures, 2 tables.

Ions (e.g., H$_3^+$, H$_2$O$^+$) have been used extensively to quantify the cosmic-ray ionization rate (CRIR) in diffuse sightlines. However, measurements of CRIR in low-to-intermediate density gas environments are rare, especially when background stars are absent. In this work, we combine molecular line observations of CO, OH, CH, and HCO$^+$ in the star-forming cloud IC~348, and chemical models to constrain the value of CRIR and study the response of the chemical abundances distribution. The cloud boundary is found to have an $A_{\rm V}$ of approximately 4 mag. From the interior to the exterior of the cloud, the observed $^{13}$CO line intensities drop by an order of magnitude. The calculated average abundance of $^{12}$CO (assuming $^{12}$C/$^{13}$C = 65) is (1.2$\pm$0.9) $\times$10$^{-4}$, which increases by a factor of 6 from the interior to the outside regions. The average abundance of CH (3.3$\pm$0.7 $\times$ 10$^{-8}$) is in good agreement with previous findings in diffuse and translucent clouds ($A_{\rm V}$ $, Comment: 21 pages, 11 figures.

The distribution of ultraviolet (UV) radiation field provides critical constraints on the physical environments of molecular clouds. Within 1 kpc of our solar system and fostering protostars of different masses, the giant molecular clouds in the Gould Belt present an excellent opportunity to resolve the UV field structure in star forming regions. We performed spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting of the archival data from the Herschel Gould Belt Survey (HGBS). Dust radiative transfer analysis with the DUSTY code were applied to 23 regions in 14 molecular complexes of the Gould Belt, resulting in the spatial distribution of radiation field in these regions. For 10 of 15 regions with independent measurements of star formation rate, their star formation rate and UV radiation intensity largely conform to a linear correlation found in previous studies., Comment: 31 pages, 25 figures,1 table, published in Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics

Despite the popularity of the core self-evaluation (CSE) concept in the organizational psychology literature, research has largely neglected the relational costs perceived by individuals with excessively high levels of CSE (i.e., hyper-CSE). This study addresses these gaps by examining the curvilinear relationship between CSE and social acceptance. Using data from 165 employees and their supervisors, we found support for our model, which posits that CSE has an inverted U-shaped relationship with social acceptance. We also found that this relationship was moderated by conscientious organizational citizenship behaviors (conscientious-OCB). The diminishing returns of CSE occurred only for employees who were rated low in conscientious-OCB. Conversely, when conscientious-OCB was high, employees continued to have positive social acceptance effects. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.

We present high-sensitivity CH 9 cm ON/OFF observations toward 18 extra-galactic continuum sources that have been detected with OH 18 cm absorption in the Millennium survey with the Arecibo telescope. CH emission was detected toward six of eighteen sources. The excitation temperature of CH has been derived directly through analyzing all detected ON and OFF velocity components. The excitation temperature of CH 3335 MHz transition ranges from $-54.5$ to $-0.4$ K and roughly follows a log-normal distribution peaking within [$-$5, 0] K, which implies overestimation by 20% to more than ten times during calculating CH column density by assuming the conventional value of $-60$ or $-10$ K. Furthermore, the column density of CH would be underestimated by a factor of $1.32\pm 0.03$ when adopting local thermal equilibrium (LTE) assumption instead of using the CH three hyperfine transitions. We found a correlation between the column density of CH and OH following log$N$(CH) = (1.80$\pm$ 0.49) log$N$(OH) $-11.59 \pm 6.87$. The linear correlation between the column density of CH and H$_2$ is consistent with that derived from visible wavelengths studies, confirming that CH is one of the best tracers of H$_2$ component in diffuse molecular gas., 15 pages, 9 figures, accepted by ApJS

The event rate, energy distribution, and time-domain behaviour of repeating fast radio bursts (FRBs) contains essential information regarding their physical nature and central engine, which are as yet unknown. As the first precisely-localized source, FRB 121102 has been extensively observed and shows non-Poisson clustering of bursts over time and a power-law energy distribution. However, the extent of the energy distribution towards the fainter end was not known. Here we report the detection of 1652 independent bursts with a peak burst rate of 122~hr^{-1}, in 59.5 hours spanning 47 days. A peak in the isotropic equivalent energy distribution is found to be ~4.8 x 10^{37} erg at 1.25~GHz, below which the detection of bursts is suppressed. The burst energy distribution is bimodal, and well characterized by a combination of a log-normal function and a generalized Cauchy function. The large number of bursts in hour-long spans allow sensitive periodicity searches between 1 ms and 1000 s. The non-detection of any periodicity or quasi-periodicity poses challenges for models involving a single rotating compact object. The high burst rate also implies that FRBs must be generated with a high radiative efficiency, disfavoring emission mechanisms with large energy requirements or contrived triggering conditions., 69 pages, 14 figures, 2 tables; Updates for author correction

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationships between authoritarian leadership, organizational citizenship behavior toward one’s supervisor (OCBS) and organizational deviance. The authors hypothesized curvilinear relationships between authoritarian leadership and OCBS, and between authoritarian leadership and organizational deviance. Design/methodology/approach The authors analyzed two-source survey data of 240 employee–supervisor dyads collected from seven organizations in Pakistan. Findings Employees exhibited most OCBS and least organizational deviance at intermediate levels of authoritarian leadership. Employees’ perception of a benevolent climate at work moderated the curvilinear relations. Research limitations/implications The authors cannot draw causal inferences because of cross-sectional data. Furthermore, the authors’ results may be limited to cultures with high collectivism and high power distance. Practical implications This study envisions and illuminates a new avenue of curvilinear relationships among authoritarian leadership, OCBS and organizational deviance. Originality/value The two sources (employee–supervisor dyads) data collected from seven organizations supported a unique curvilinear relationship between authoritarian leadership, OCBS and organizational deviance.

OH absorption is currently the only viable way to detect OH molecules in non-masing galaxies at cosmological distances. There have been only 6 such detections at z>0.05 to date and so it is hard to put a statistically robust constraint on OH column densities in distant galaxies. We carried out a pilot OH absorption survey towards 8 associated and 1 intervening HI 21-cm absorbers using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST). We were able to constrain the OH abundance relative to HI ([OH]/[HI]) to be lower than 10^-6 ~ 10^-8 for redshifts z within [0.1919, 0.2241]. Although no individual detection was made, stacking three associated absorbers free of RFI provides a sensitive OH column density 3-sigma upper-limit ~ 1.57 x 10^14 (Tx/10K)(1/fc) cm^-2, which corresponds to a [OH]/[HI] < 5.45 x 10^-8. Combining with archival data, we show that associated absorbers have a slightly lower OH abundance than intervening absorbers. Our results are consistent with a trend of decreasing OH abundance with decreasing redshift., accepted for publication in MNRAS

Residents of the United States and China have responded very differently to the implementation of COVID-19 preventive measures. This study introduces the uncertainty reduction theory and the need for cognitive closure (NFC) framework into the context of a public health crisis and compares models across the United States and China. Specifically, we collected survey data to examine how NFC, trust in government, and attitudes toward preventive measures predicted pandemic compliance behaviors, depressive symptoms, and life satisfaction among 745 college students (399 from China and 346 from the United States). Chinese participants trusted their government more, believed COVID preventive measures to be more beneficial, and reported more pandemic compliance and fewer depressive symptoms than U.S.Trust in government and attitudes towards preventive measures mediated the relationships between NFC and pandemic compliance behaviors among Chinese participants but not U.S.NFC predicted better mental health outcomes among participants in China compared to U.S.Trust in government mediated NFC and mental health outcomes among Chinese participants. Trust in government predicted better mental health (fewer depressive symptoms and more life satisfaction) in both the United States and China. Theoretical and practical implications of these findings for promoting mental health and pandemic compliance behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic are discussed.

Using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST), we search for H I narrow-line self-absorption (HINSA) features in twelve Planck Galactic cold clumps (PGCCs), the starless core L1521B, and four star forming sources. Eight of the 12 PGCCs have detected emission of J = 2–1 of cyanoacetylene (HC3N). With an improved HINSA extraction method more robust for weaker and blended features with high velocity resolution, the detection rates of HINSA in PGCCs are high, at 92% overall (11/12) and 87% (7/8) among sources with HC3N J = 2–1 emissions. Combining the data of molecular spectra and Planck continuum maps, we studied the morphologies, dynamics, abundances and excitations of H I, CO and HC3N in PGCCs. The spatial distribution of HINSA is similar to that of CO, implying that HINSA features are confined to regions within and around CO emission kernels. HINSA tends to be not detected in regions associated with warm dust and background ionizing radiation, as well as regions associated with stellar objects. The L-band continnum and average background H I emission may be non-ignorable for the excitation of HINSA. The abundances of cold H I in PGCCs are approximately 3 × 10−4, and vary within a factor of ~3. The non-thermal velocity dispersions traced by C18O J = 1–0 and HINSA are consistent with each other (0.1–0.4 km s−1), larger than the typical value of HC3N (~0.1 km s−1). Carbon chain molecule (CCM) abundant PGCCs provide a good sample to study HINSA.

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are cosmic sources that emit millisecond-duration radio pulses with a wide range of luminosities and yet unknown origin(s) (Petroff et al. 2019; cordes et al. 2019). A subset of FRBs were found to repeat, the prototype of which is the first precisely-located FRB 121102 (Spitler et al. 2016), residing in a dwarf galaxy at redshift z=0.193 (Chatterjee 2017; Tendulkar et al. 2017). The source has been observed by most major telescopes and shows non-Poisson clustering of bursts over time, the hitherto highest burst rate, and a burst isotropic equivalent energy largely consistent with a power-law (Law et al. 2017; zhang et al. 2018; Gourdji et al. 2019), all of which are crucial characteristics to be compared to non-repeating sources. However, due to sensitivity limits, no true energy distribution of any FRB is known. Here we report the detection of 1652 independent bursts, more than quadruple the total of all previously published ones combined, in a total of 59.5 observing hours spanning 47 days using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST). The peak burst rate of 122 hr-1is by far the highest ever observed of any FRB. A characteristic peak in the isotropic equivalent energy distribution is found to be ~4.8×1037 erg at 1.25 GHz, suggesting a possible threshold for producing abundant coherent radio bursts from FRBs. The burst energy distribution is optimally described by a bimodal distribution consisting of a log-normal function plus a Cauchy function. While no periodicity was found between 1 ms and 1000 s, and the majority of the burst arrival times are consistent with being random, there exists a visible peak in the waiting time distribution at about 3.4 ms, corresponding to significant clustering. Our results start to reveal the stochastic nature of abundant weaker bursts, which could be present in other FRB sources, apparently repeating or not. FRB generation mechanisms must be efficient and economical. Expensive triggers and/or contrived conditions for burst production seem unlikely.

This paper assesses whether societal culture moderates the relationship between human resource management (HRM) practices and organizational performance. Drawing on matched employer-employee data from 387 organizations and 7,187 employees in 14 countries, our findings show a positive relationship between HRM practices combined in High-Performance Work Systems (HPWS) and organizational performance across societal cultures. Three dimensions of societal culture assessed (power distance, in-group collectivism, and institutional collectivism) did not moderate this relationship. Drawing on the Ability-Motivation-Opportunity (AMO) model, we further consider the effectiveness of three bundles of HRM practices (skill-enhancing, motivation-enhancing, and opportunity-enhancing practices). This analysis shows opportunity-enhancing practices (e.g., participative work design and decision-making) are less effective in high-power-distance cultures. Nevertheless, in markedly different countries we find combinations of complementary HPWS and bundles of AMO practices appear to outweigh the influence of societal culture and enhance organizational performance.

We have conducted OH 18 cm survey toward 141 molecular clouds in various environments, including 33 optical dark clouds, 98 Planck Galactic cold clumps (PGCCs) and 10 Spitzer dark clouds with the Arecibo telescope. The deviations from local thermal equilibrium are common for intensity ratios of both OH main lines and satellite lines. Line intensity of OH 1667 MHz is found to correlate linearly with visual extinction $A\rm_V$ when $A\rm_V$ is less than 3 mag. It was converted into OH column density by adopting excitation temperature derived from Monte Carlo simulations with one sigma uncertainty. The relationship between OH abundance $X$(OH) relative to H$_2$ and $A\rm_V$ is found to follow an empirical formula, \begin{equation} \nonumber \frac{X(\textrm{OH})}{10^{-7}} = 1.3^{+0.4}_{-0.4} + 6.3^{+0.5}_{-0.5}\times \textrm{exp}(-\frac{A_\textrm{V}}{2.9^{+0.6}_{-0.6}}). \end{equation} Linear correlation is found between OH and $^{13}$CO intensity. Besides, nonthermal velocity dispersions of OH and $^{13}$CO are closely correlated. These results imply tight chemical evolution and spatial occupation between OH and $^{13}$CO. No obvious correlation is found between column density and nonthermal velocity dispersion of OH and HI Narrow Self-Absorption (HINSA), indicating different chemical evolution and spatial volume occupation between OH and HINSA. Using the age information of HINSA analysis, OH abundance $X$(OH) is found to increase linearly with cloud age, which is consistent with previous simulations. Fourteen OH components without corresponding CO emission were detected, implying the effectiveness of OH in tracing the `CO-dark' molecular gas., Comment: 22 pages, 15 figures, 3 tables, accepted for publication in ApJS

We report the discovery of a highly dispersed fast radio burst, FRB~181123, from an analysis of $\sim$1500~hr of drift-scan survey data taken using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST). The pulse has three distinct emission components, which vary with frequency across our 1.0--1.5~GHz observing band. We measure the peak flux density to be $>0.065$~Jy and the corresponding fluence $>0.2$~Jy~ms. Based on the observed dispersion measure of 1812~cm$^{-3}$~pc, we infer a redshift of $\sim 1.9$. From this, we estimate the peak luminosity and isotropic energy to be $\lesssim 2\times10^{43}$~erg~s$^{-1}$ and $\lesssim 2\times10^{40}$~erg, respectively. With only one FRB from the survey detected so far, our constraints on the event rate are limited. We derive a 95\% confidence lower limit for the event rate of 900 FRBs per day for FRBs with fluences $>0.025$~Jy~ms. We performed follow-up observations of the source with FAST for four hours and have not found a repeated burst. We discuss the implications of this discovery for our understanding of the physical mechanisms of FRBs., 7 pages, 3 figures, accepted for publication in ApJL

Emission lines from CO and Hi are the standard tracers of molecular and atomic interstellar medium, respectively. In the past two decades, a consensus has formed that a substantial fraction of Galactic molecular gas evades detection by these two tracers, thus giving rise to the empirical concept of dark molecular gas (DMG). Largely based on the experience and evidence garnered from the Arecibo Millennium survey, we have formed an international consortium, the Pacific Rim Interstellar Matter Observers (PRIMO), to pursue alternative tracers of DMG, particularly absorption against background radio sources (quasars). PRIMO have carried out observing programs at Arecibo, JVLA, Delingha 13.7m, ATCA and ALMA, among others. Our observations reveal abundant hydrides, namely OH and CH, in DMG clouds. The historical difficulty of mapping OH can be explained by the measured OH excitation temperature $f(T_{{\rm{ex}}}^{{\rm{OH}}}) \propto \frac{1}{{\sqrt {2\pi } \sigma }}{\rm{exp}}[ - {(ln(T_{ex}^{OH}) - ln(3.4\;K))^2}/(2{\sigma ^2})],$ which is a modified log-normal function peaking close to the numerical value of the L-band Galactic continuum background (synchrotron + CMB). Both OH and CH are shown to be better tracers of molecular hydrogen than CO, particularly in the intermediate extinction regions (Av ~ 0.05-2 magnitude), where DMG dominates. http://ism.bao.ac.cn/primo

Purpose Perceived inclusion refers to employees’ perception of their inclusion status in the workplace. This concept offers a new perspective to understand employees’ experiences within today’s complex working environment. However, research on how perceived inclusion influences employee behavior is lacking. The purpose of this paper is to explore the mechanism of perceived inclusion through the lens of the social exchange perspective and role identity theory. Design/methodology/approach Survey data were collected from 257 employees and 60 supervisors in a manufacturing company. Multi-level structural equation modeling and the Monte Carlo method were applied to test the mediation effect. Findings The results indicated that employees’ perceived inclusion was positively associated with job role and innovator role performance through the mediation of organizational commitment. Perceived inclusion was also directly associated with team role performance. Originality/value This is the first study to empirically examine perceived inclusion in the workplace from the social exchange and role identity perspective. It revealed that perceived inclusion fosters employees’ commitment toward the organization, which in turn influences their work-role behaviors. Theoretical contributions and practical implications are discussed.

Based on evolutionary modernization theory (Inglehart, 1997, in press), this study investigates generational differences in basic human values (Schwartz et al., 2012) in the Chinese workplace. A significant series of economic events was used to differentiate three generational cohorts: pre-reform, reform, and post-reform. Using a nationwide sample of employees (N = 2010) from state-owned, private and foreign-invested companies, we explored intergenerational differences and similarities in basic human values. We found an increasing openness to change across cohorts, and a surprising upswing in conservation in the post-reform generation. However, we also found similarities in conservation, self-enhancement, and self-transcendence values between the pre-reform and post-reform generations. We also explored how the effects of values on employee behaviors changed across cohorts. The implications of these findings for theory and practice are discussed.

Monetary intelligence asserts: individuals apply their money attitude to frame critical concerns in the context and strategically select certain options to achieve financial goals and ultimate happiness. Bridging the gap between stock volatility and behavioral economics, we collected longitudinal data from multiple sources and at multiple times: First, private investors (N = 229) in Shanghai—the financial capital of China—completed their love of money attitude measure (Rich-affect, Motivator-behavior, and Importance-cognition) and demographic variables in a survey. Second, we recorded daily Shanghai Stock Exchange Composite Index (“the Index”) for 30 consecutive trading days during the financial crisis in 2008—public records. Third, we text-messaged investors, collecting their daily Index Happiness, Stock Percentage (stocks/liquid assets), and Stock Happiness—private information. Here, investors illustrate: high Rich investors fret about low Index happiness, yet high Rich and high Importance investors boast high stock happiness, supporting the endowment effect and investor hubristic smirk. High Motivator investors quickly adjust their stock percentage/portfolio, suffering low Index happiness and low stock happiness. Gender moderates the relationship between the Index and Index happiness. Our panel data of intra-personal changes of stock happiness demonstrate investor monetary wisdom in the boom-and-bust cycles. Behaviorally, investor must become masters (but not slaves) of money and deactivate money as a Motivator. Curbing the desire to become Rich enhances happiness after gains (boom/risk aversion); appreciating money’s Importance bestows happiness after losses (bust/risk seeking). We expand prospect theory and offer implications to investor wealth, health, and happiness during financial crisis in particular as well as individual subjective well-being and happiness in general.

This paper proposes a multi-level theoretical model of organizational inclusion to guide empirical studies on the integration of the diversity in workplace in China.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationships between supervisor-subordinate deep-level similarity and employee taking charge behavior. Face consciousness (FC) and managerial competency of inclusion (MCI) are examined as moderators. Design/methodology/approach Responses from 193 employees and 51 supervisors were examined using hierarchical linear analysis to assess the relationship between the study variables because employee responses were nested within supervisor. Findings Supervisor-subordinate deep-level similarity is positively associated with employee taking charge behavior. Employee FC moderates the relationship between deep-level similarity and taking charge. MCI also moderates the relationships between deep-level similarity and taking charge. Research limitations/implications The study is cross-sectional; longitudinal studies are needed to examine the relationships among study variables over time. This work should also be extended to the western context. The findings highlight deep-level similarity as predictive of taking charge while also identifying MCI and FC as important for understanding what predicts taking charge. Practical implications The findings can be used to develop managerial training programs that foster competency of inclusion. It is possible to develop organizational interventions (selection and training) to maximize employees and manager congruence/fit. Originality/value This study is a novel contribution that investigates facet of proactive behaviors. Examining the moderating roles of FC and MCI further elucidates how similarity fosters taking charge behaviors.

The Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST) was completed with its main structure installed on September 25, 2016, after which it entered the commissioning phase. This paper aims to introduce the commissioning progress of the FAST over the past two years. To improve its operational reliability and ensure effective observation time, FAST has been equipped with a real-time information system for the active reflector system and hierarchical commissioning scheme for the feed support system, which ultimately achieves safe operation of the two systems. For meeting the high-performance indices, a high-precision measurement system was set up based on the effective control methods that were implemented for the active reflector system and feed support system. Since the commissioning of the FAST, a low-frequency ultra-wideband receiver and 19-beam 1.05-1.45 GHz receiver have been mainly used. Telescope efficiency, pointing accuracy, and system noise temperature were completely tested and ultimately achieved the acceptance indices of the telescope. The FAST has been in the process of national acceptance preparations and has begun to search for pulsars. In the future, it will still strive to improve its capabilities and expand its application prospects., Sci. China-Phys. Mech. Astron. 62, 959502 (2019)

We present an observational study of the sulfur (S)-bearing species towards Orion KL at 1.3 mm by combining ALMA and IRAM-30\,m single-dish data. At a linear resolution of $\sim$800 au and a velocity resolution of 1 $\mathrm{km\, s^{-1}\, }$, we have identified 79 molecular lines from 6 S-bearing species. In these S-bearing species, we found a clear dichotomy between carbon-sulfur compounds and carbon-free S-bearing species in various characteristics, e.g., line profiles, spatial morphology, and molecular abundances with respect to $\rm H_2$. Lines from the carbon-sulfur compounds (i.e., OCS, $^{13}$CS, H$_2$CS) exhibit spatial distributions concentrated around the continuum peaks and extended to the south ridge. The full width at half maximum (FWHM) linewidth of these molecular lines is in the range of 2 $\sim$ 11 $\mathrm{km\, s^{-1}\, }$. The molecular abundances of OCS and H$_2$CS decrease slightly from the cold ($\sim$68 K) to the hot ($\sim$176 K) regions. In contrast, lines from the carbon-free S-bearing species (i.e., SO$_2$, $^{34}$SO, H$_2$S) are spatially more extended to the northeast of mm4, exhibiting broader FWHM linewidths (15 $\sim$ 26 $\mathrm{km\, s^{-1}\, }$). The molecular abundances of carbon-free S-bearing species increase by over an order of magnitude as the temperature increase from 50 K to 100 K. In particular, $\mathrm{^{34}SO/^{34}SO_2}$ and $\mathrm{OCS/SO_2}$ are enhanced from the warmer regions ($>$100 K) to the colder regions ($\sim$50 K). Such enhancements are consistent with the transformation of SO$_2$ at warmer regions and the influence of shocks.

Carbon-bearing molecules, particularly CO, have been widely used as tracers of molecular gas in the interstellar medium (ISM). In this work, we aim to study the properties of molecules in diffuse, cold environments, where CO tends to be under-abundant and/or sub-thermally excited. We performed one of the most sensitive (down to $\mathrm{��_{rms}^{CO} \sim 0.002}$ and $\mathrm{��_{rms}^{HCO^+} \sim 0.0008}$) sub-millimeter molecular absorption line observations towards 13 continuum sources with the ALMA. CO absorption was detected in diffuse ISM down to $\mathrm{A_v< 0.32\,mag}$ and \hcop was down to $\mathrm{A_v < 0.2\,mag}$, where atomic gas and dark molecular gas (DMG) starts to dominate. Multiple transitions measured in absorption toward 3C454.3 allow for a direct determination of excitation temperatures $\mathrm{T_{ex}}$ of 4.1\,K and 2.7\,K, for CO and for \hcop, respectively, which are close to the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and provide explanation for their being undercounted in emission surveys. A stronger linear correlation was found between $\mathrm{N_{HCO^+}}$ and $\mathrm{N_{H_2}}$ (Pearson correlation coefficient P $\sim$ 0.93) than that of $\mathrm{N_{CO}}$ and $\mathrm{N_{H_2}}$ (P $\sim$ 0.33), suggesting \hcop\ being a better tracer of H$_2$ than CO in diffuse gas. The derived CO-to-\h2 conversion factor (the CO X-factor) of (14 $\pm$ 3) $\times$ 10$^{20}$ cm$^{-2}$ (K \kms)$^{-1}$ is approximately 6 times larger than the average value found in the Milky Way.

The Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope(FAST) is expected to complete its commissioning in 2019. FAST will soon begin the Commensal Radio Astronomy FasT Survey(CRAFTS), a novel and unprecedented commensal drift scan survey of the entire sky visible from FAST. The goal of CRAFTS is to cover more than 20000 $deg^{2}$ and reach redshift up to about 0.35. We provide empirical measurements of the beam size and sensitivity of FAST across the 1.05 to 1.45 GHz frequency range of the FAST L-band Array of 19-beams(FLAN). Using a simulated HI-galaxy catalogue based on the HI Mass Function(HIMF), we estimate the number of galaxies that CRAFTS may detect. At redshifts below 0.35, over $6\, \times \, 10^{5}$ HI galaxies may be detected. Below the redshift of 0.07, the CRAFTS HIMF will be complete above a mass threshold of $10^{9.5}\,M_{\odot}$. FAST will be able to investigate the environmental and redshift dependence of the HIMF to an unprecedented depth, shedding light onto the missing baryon and missing satellite problems., Comment: Published as Sci.

Diversity literature has demonstrated negative effects of surface-level diversity and positive effects of deep-level diversity. How do two types of diversity among cross national team members influence team knowledge sharing and team creativity? The purpose of this study is to explore conditions that leverage the positive and restrain the negative effects of team diversity on team knowledge sharing, which leads to team creativity. We expect inclusive climate as the significant condition and knowledge sharing as the profound intervening mechanism between team diversity and team creativity relationship. We tested the hypotheses with data from a sample of 60 cross-national research teams from several universities in China. The results support the hypothesized relationships among inclusive climate, team knowledge sharing, and team creativity. Our findings contribute to the advancement of team diversity and team creativity literature, and their theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
