Discriminant validity of measures of job satisfaction, job involvement, and organizational commitment was assessed with data from 194 bus drivers and 311 engineers. In each sample, LISREL VI confirmatory factor analyses illustrated that indicators of the 3 variables better fit a 3-factor model than several 2- and one single-factor models. Additional LISREL analyses were used to evaluate whether sets of correlates related consistently with estimated latent job satisfaction, job involvement, and organizational commitment constructs. In the bus driver sample, 5 of 9 correlates related differentially with at least 2 of the 3 variables; in the engineer sample, 5 of 7 correlates related differentially with at least 2 of the 3 variables. These findings are consistent with an earlier study conducted by Brooke, Russell, and Price (1988), although they sampled different employee populations and investigated different sets of correlates. Implications for future research are noted. (Reprinted by permission of the publisher.)

We present a measurement of baryonic acoustic oscillations (BAOs) from Lyα absorption and quasars at an effective redshift using the complete extended Baryonic Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS). The 16th and final eBOSS data release (SDSS DR16) contains all data from eBOSS and its predecessor, the Baryonic Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS), providing 210,005 quasars with zq > 2.10 that are used to measure Lyα absorption. We measure the BAO scale both in the autocorrelation of Lyα absorption and in its cross-correlation with 341,468 quasars with redshift zq > 1.77. Apart from the statistical gain from new quasars and deeper observations, the main improvements over previous work come from more accurate modeling of physical and instrumental correlations and the use of new sets of mock data. Combining the BAO measurement from the auto- and cross-correlation yields the constraints of the two ratios and , where the error bars are statistical. These results are within 1.5σ of the prediction of the flat-ΛCDM cosmology of Planck (2016). The analysis code, picca , the catalog of the flux transmission field measurements, and the Δχ2 surfaces are publicly available. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

As its title announces, this book is about an economy of violence, an 'endless, small-scale economy of provocation and riposte' (p. 231) that defined the world of private justice in [...]
