Drawing on gender role and gender queuing theories, we employ a multi‐stage process model to investigate demand‐ and supply‐side drivers of gender promotion gaps and to explore variations in these gaps across different business units within an organization. Analyzing 9 years of personnel records from a multiunit European bank, we find that the gender promotion gap is influenced by both supply‐side and demand‐side factors. Specifically, women are less likely than men to express a motivation to change to a new job or move to a different unit within the bank. Those who do express such motivation are as likely as men to be reassigned to new roles, but their moves are less likely to constitute promotions than are men's moves. Furthermore, gender promotion gaps vary significantly within the organization itself. Business units with the most significant gaps are in regions that have fewer available organizational positions to move into, diminishing women's motivation to seek such moves, and have jobs with numerous incumbents, decreasing women's chances to get a new job or secure a promotion upon doing so. This study extends gender role theory by creating a unified theoretical model that incorporates both employee and employer gender role perceptions as drivers of promotions. It contributes to gender queuing theory by demonstrating the theory's relevance to promotion outcomes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In-store communication delivered through technological formats (e.g., kiosk, digital display) and nontechnological formats (e.g., magazine cover, flyer) can help retailers enhance sales by delivering relevant content to consumers. Although prior research has examined the effects of deal-oriented content that primarily offers promotions for a single product on shopper spending, the effects of inspirational content that sparks ideas (e.g., ways to use products) on spending are unclear. Inspirational content can affect spending differently from deal-oriented content as it activates stronger motivation for consumption goal completion. This article proposes that inspirational content activates stronger motivations for the consumer's goal completion and therefore increases spending more than deal-oriented content does. The authors propose and empirically test the hypotheses using data from a set of experimental studies, a field experiment, and an eye-tracking study. The results show that inspirational content increases spending more than deal-oriented content or no content does. This effect is mediated by consumption goal completion, such that it is attenuated when consumers already have consumption goals or when the content detracts from inspiration-induced goals. These results suggest that retailers can increase sales by using clear, inspirational content in their communications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We introduce fluctuating tableaux, which subsume many classes of tableaux that have been previously studied, including (generalized) oscillating, vacillating, rational, alternating, standard, and transpose semistandard tableaux. Our main contribution is the introduction of promotion permutations and promotion matrices, which are new even for standard tableaux. We provide characterizations in terms of Bender-Knuth involutions, jeu de taquin, and crystals. We prove key properties in the rectangular case about the behavior of promotion permutations under promotion and evacuation. We also give a full development of the basic combinatorics and representation theory of fluctuating tableaux.Our motivation comes from our companion paper, where we use these results in the development of a new rotation-invariant \(\operatorname{SL}_4\)-web basis. Basis elements are given by certain planar graphs and are constructed so that important algebraic operations can be performed diagrammatically. These planar graphs are indexed by fluctuating tableaux, tableau promotion corresponds to graph rotation, and promotion permutations correspond to key graphical information.Mathematics Subject Classifications: 05E10, 05E18Keywords: Tableaux, promotion, jeu de taquin, Bender-Knuth involutions, growth diagrams, crystals

Defant recently introduced toric promotion, an operator that acts on the labelings of a graph \(G\) and serves as a cyclic analogue of Schützenberger's promotion operator. Toric promotion is defined as the composition of certain toggle operators, listed in a natural cyclic order. We consider more general permutoric promotion operators, which are defined as compositions of the same toggles, but in permuted orders. We settle a conjecture of Defant by determining the orders of all permutoric promotion operators when \(G\) is a path graph. In fact, we completely characterize the orbit structures of these operators, showing that they satisfy the cyclic sieving phenomenon. The first half of our proof requires us to introduce and analyze new broken promotion operators, which can be interpreted via globs of liquid gliding on a path graph. For the latter half of our proof, we reformulate the dynamics of permutoric promotion via stones sliding along a cycle graph and coins colliding with each other on a path graph.Mathematics Subject Classifications: 05E18Keywords: Promotion, toric promotion, Coxeter element, cyclic sieving phenomenon

This study examines how communication technology promotes Islam in Barangay Poblacion, Talayan, Maguindanao del Sur. Due to the rapid growth of technology, Islamic groups and individuals have begun to use social media and mobile phones to spread Islam and engage with their communities. This research aimed to investigate the impact of new communication technologies on contemporary religious practices and beliefs. It explored how individuals utilize technology to access religious resources, connect with the global Muslim community, and participate in online religious activities. The study employed a quantitative methodology as a primary investigative approach. To achieve its objectives, a semi-structured questionnaire was used to explore how Muslim communities in Barangay Poblacion Talayan, Maguindanao del Sur, leverage technology to enhance their faith and strengthen community ties. The survey involved a total of fifty randomly selected individuals from Poblacion Talayan, Maguindanao. Among the respondents were Ulama, Asatidz, and members of the Bangsamoro Communication Network, all of whom reside in Talayan Maguindanao del Sur and are responsible for promoting the Islamic faith. Residents who were unfamiliar with Islam or unable to answer the questions were not included as respondents. Communication Technology Utilized in the Promotions of Islamic Faith results were based on statement indications, with some favoring "Yes" and others not. This suggests that not all communication technologies were used to promote Islam. In summary, respondents promoted Islam only via radio FM, Icom Radio, and cell phone. Challenges Confronted by Respondents in Promoting Islamic Faith Using Communication Technology showed that all statement indicator metrics preferred "Yes". The absence of communication technology abilities makes promoting Islamic faith in Barangay Población Talayan become difficult. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A rapidly growing body of research spanning several scientific disciplines and countries converges to show that mental health problems among students are an increasing challenge for higher education institutions. Mental health problems among students threaten academic performance, degree completion and student well‐being. Structural efforts aimed at building health‐promoting, learning environments for all students are lacking in the literature. This study aims to identify and describe what is currently known about structural approaches to promote mental health or prevent mental health problems among students in higher educational settings. We conducted a scoping review of studies published in peer‐reviewed journals between 2001 and 2021, which studied structural interventions to promote mental health or prevent mental health problems among students in higher educational settings. The search identified 8372 articles, and 27 were included in the final sample. Four broad categories of approach were identified: (1) inclusion and diversity approaches, (2) adaptations to the physical environment, (3) teaching health‐related skills and behaviours and (4) adaptations to pedagogical practices and teaching approaches. The general finding from the studies reporting student perceptions was that students were favourable to the interventions to which they were exposed. Studies investigating pre‐ to post‐test changes in well‐being had mixed findings. Institutions aiming to support student mental health at the structural level should rigorously study and describe these approaches and their outcomes to advance our combined understanding of how we might design and deliver structural interventions to support students' mental health.

Trends in faculty demographic composition, promotion success, and retention are important considerations in Academic Health Centers (AHC). This paper reviews the design, implementation, and utility of a faculty promotion and tenure (P&T) database (PROMO/TE©) over 12 years in a large southwestern academic health center. Review of the system design, portfolio creation, P&T tracking, interface with other faculty databases, and lessons learned will be offered. PROMO/TE© was developed to improve the P&T packet creation, application, and review process in one College and was expanded to other colleges at the AHC. The PROMO/TE© system is integrated with Workday® and FACFACTS© to track trends in recruitment, attrition, and P&T trends across gender, underrepresented minorities, and other subgroups. PROMO/TE© has several advantages including improving communication, transparency, uniformity, and efficiency in the P&T packet creation, application, and review process. Increased cost savings ($217,198 annually) were noted with elimination of hard copy packets and decreased time spent. The first college reviewed 743 dossiers in the PROMO/TE© system since its creation in 2012 and there has been on average a 10% increase in P&T approvals since its inception. PROMO/TE© facilitates and tracks trends in the P&T process and has many benefits as well as significant cost savings. PROMO/TE© serves as a potential model for other institutions.

As academic medical centers have moved away from using learner ratings of instruction as a demonstration of quality teaching in the promotion process, Indiana University School of Medicine sought to create a peer review of teaching system. We created our system in 2010 and have engaged in continuous quality improvement since. In these efforts, we sought to answer the question, "How can we create a system of peer review of teaching that provides high-quality feedback to faculty and encourages autonomy and growth?" Our peer review of teaching system includes a website, with a brief introduction to the concept of peer review, as well as a series of customizable forms that allows faculty and peer reviewers to choose items for observation and feedback based on teaching setting. This system, called the Peer Review Form Builder (PRFB), combines interactive technology with evidence-based faculty development and is innovative in structure and scope. On the macro level, departments and programs have seen success with the tool by engendering conversations on the values and effectiveness of teaching and education efforts. This systematic, tailored system of peer review of teaching has advanced the stature, quality, and innovation within all aspects of teaching throughout the institution. Further, we have incorporated these values into promotion and tenure documents, by encouraging consistent, systematic peer review as a primary source of evidence to demonstrate teaching effectiveness.

Efficient production of H2 by combined (steam/CO2; steam/O2) reforming of CH4 was comparatively studied over perovskite-derived promoted Ni catalysts. The process performance was improved by regulating the redox and structural properties of the LaNi0.99M0.01O3 catalysts through promotion (M = Pt, Pd, Re, Mo, Sn). The catalysts were synthesized using the citrate sol–gel method, tested in combined reforming of methane and studied by X-ray fluorescence analysis, thermal analysis, N2 adsorption, X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy, temperature-programed hydrogen reduction to elucidate the impact of catalyst properties on their activity and resistance to re-oxidation and formation of carbon deposits under reaction conditions. It was shown that LaNi0.99M0.01O3 catalysts after calcination at 850 °C in air have a perovskite structure that was destroyed after reductive activation with formation of metal Nio particles with an average size of ~ 25 nm on the surface of lanthanum oxide/hydroxide. The resistance to re-oxidation of Nio particles depends on the type of promoter and is maximum in the case of M = Re. It was established that the type of promoter affects the conversion of reagents (CH4, CO2) and the H2 yield, which at 700 °C increases in the series of promoters Sn < Mo < Pt < Pd < Re in the case of steam/CO2 reforming and Pt < Sn < Mo < Pd < Re with steam/O2 reforming. The optimal composition of catalyst was identified: among the studied samples, LaNi0.99Re0.01O3 is characterized by a higher specific surface area, average reduction ability and high resistance to re-oxidation and coking. At 850 °C it provides the H2 yield of 95 and 50% at complete CH4 conversion in steam/CO2 and steam/O2 reforming, respectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Intersection of gender and race and/or ethnicity in academic medicine is understudied; we aim to understand these factors in relation to scholarly achievements for neurology faculty. Methods: Faculty from 19 US neurology departments completed a survey (2021–2022) to report rank, leadership positions, publications, funded projects, awards, and speaker invitations. Regression analyses examined effects of gender, race, and their intersectionality on these achievements. Women, Black/Indigenous/People of Color (BIPOC), and BIPOC women were comparator groups. Results: Four hundred sixty-two faculty responded: 55% women, 43% men; 31% BIPOC, 63% White; 21% BIPOC women, 12% BIPOC men, 36% White women, 31% White men. Men and White faculty are more likely to be full professors than women and BIPOC faculty. The number of leadership positions, funded projects, awards, and speaker invitations are significantly greater in White compared to BIPOC faculty. Relative to BIPOC women, the number of leadership positions is significantly higher among BIPOC men, White women, and White men. Publication numbers for BIPOC men are lower, number of funded projects and speaker invitations for White women are higher, and number of awards among White men and White women is higher compared to BIPOC women. Discussion: Our study highlights that inequities in academic rank, award number, funded projects, speakership invitations, and leadership roles disproportionately impacted BIPOC women. More studies are needed to evaluate gender and race and/or ethnicity intersectionality effects on faculty achievements, reasons for inequities, recognition, and potential solutions.

The company should intensify its advertising campaigns, and the company should be keen to increase the provision of coupons because of their great effectiveness in selling the company’s products, and the company should provide free additions to some of its products [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This qualitative study focuses on understanding the motivational factors driving Latino students to pursue higher education and the obstacles hindering their enrollment. We conducted eleven focus group sessions, involving five distinct groups: students, parents, teachers, and counselors from public high schools, as well as two adult learner groups. These discussions, involving a total of 56 participants, were held both in-person and virtually via Zoom. The results underscore the significance of higher education for Latinos and the need of a comprehensive strategy encompassing recruitment, retention, and promotion to boost and maintain college enrollment. Recruitment efforts should involve both students and parents in culturally appropriate activities, recognizing the family-centric nature of college decisions within this community. Enhancing Latino cultural capital, fortifying support services, and launching strategic community initiatives could boost student engagement. The study also suggests implementing a targeted marketing campaign featuring testimonials from current students and alumni to convey the attainability and value of degree completion. The research concludes by suggesting some recruitment, retention, and promotional activities to consider. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Nicosulfuron residues in soil can be harmful to the environment. In this study, Klebsiella oxytoca ES5 and Klebsiella grimontii ES8 were isolated to construct the ES58 bacterial complex. The culture medium was optimized using response surface methodology, nicosulfuron degradation by ES58 reached 97.21 % in 96 h. The optimal degradation conditions were: temperature: 25℃, pH 6, initial nicosulfuron concentration: 50 mg L−1 and inoculum volume: 2 %. The two individual strains and the bacterial complex were tested for the ability of nitrogen fixation, phosphorus solubilization, potassium decomposition and iron carrier production. The results revealed that both strains and the bacterial complex had the ability to promote the growth, with bacterial complex being more capable than the two individual bacterial strains. After 28 d of bioremediation of nicosulfuron-contaminated soil by ES58, degradation rate of nicosulfuron was 90.84 % in the unsterilized soil. Furthermore, the remediation process restored the activities of catalase, invertase, dehydrogenase and urease in the soil. The ES5-specific gene budA and ES8-specific gene ldh were detected in the soil at the 28th day. ES58 exhibited different effects on the growth indexes of nicosulfuron-sensitive crops. The study provides a novel strategy for nicosulfuron degradation effective by constructing and utilizing bacterial complex. [Display omitted] • Two strains of nicosulfuron efficient degrading bacteria were isolated and identified. • The degradation characteristics of the complex bacterium ES58 were investigated. • The growth-promoting ability of the composite bacterium ES58 was determined. • Bioremediation of nicosulfuron contaminated soil by the complex bacterium ES58 was studied.

From a strategic point of view, the audiovisual sector is a key factor in the economic and cultural development of a country and a decisive factor in the promotion of the country's brand abroad (cf. Tribaldos Macía, 2013). To this end, in 2021 the Spanish government presented the Spanish Audiovisual Hub and in 2023 a series of measures were launched to promote the internationalisation of the sector. It is in this context that this research is presented, focusing on the analysis of the digital presence of the main Spanish film production companies, with the aim of observing their communication strategies to promote their products and, therefore, the Spanish audiovisual sector.

Traditional African vegetables (TAVs) are an important component of an ecologically sustainable approach to addressing food and nutrition security in Africa. This review aims to identify the scope of the knowledge translation literature that exists across multiple aspects of the TAV value chain and to identify gaps in knowledge translation research. A scoping review following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) was conducted. The Population, Concept, and Context (PCC) framework was used to guide the development of inclusion and exclusion criteria for this review. The Web of Science, Scopus, Science Direct, and ABI/Inform databases were searched to identify the relevant studies which were then screened using the Covidence 2024 online software to select studies and extract information for analysis and reporting. A total of 182 studies/articles were selected and examined. The most significant knowledge documented about TAVs pertains to their vast genetic diversity contributing to their rich nutritional and medicinal properties, their ability to withstand harsh environmental conditions such as drought, pests, and diseases, as well as the effects of various post-handling techniques on the nutrient content of TAVs, with the production phase of the TAV value chain being the most studied. This review found that, although a breadth of knowledge about TAVs has been generated, there is still little documentation about transferring and utilizing this knowledge across the TAV value chain. This review identified that more research is needed to document the strategies and practices for the transfer and utilization of knowledge to ensure that it is utilized to enhance nutritional outcomes across Africa.

Background: Early childhood caries (ECC) has been found to be up to five times more common among children living in areas of low socio‐economic status (SES) than among children in areas of higher SES. Aim: To evaluate an ECC prevention programme from pregnancy to 3 and 6 years of age. Design: A prospective, controlled, intervention cohort study was initiated in 2013 in a low‐SES area in Sweden. The intervention group received an individual interdisciplinary ECC prevention programme starting pre‐birth, consisting of supportive oral health‐promoting talks using motivational interviewing techniques and individual ECC preventive actions. A control group, consisting of pregnant women living in a comparable area, received ordinary routines. Results: Of the 336 pregnant women, 64 mothers (with 64 children) completed the programme, and 394 children were born in the control group. At the sixth year examination, the proportion of children with no caries was similar between the groups (53% resp. 52%, p =.976), whereas the proportion with decayed, missed, filled primary teeth (dmft = 1–5) was slightly lower (23% resp. 36%, p =.063), and the proportion with severe caries disease (dmft > 5) was higher (p =.013) in the intervention group (25%) than in the control group (12%). Conclusion: No preventive effect regarding caries can be demonstrated at sixth year of age. Maternal behavioural change in dental care was not sufficient to even out inequalities in oral health in children, eventually due to difficulties in reaching the target group and the lack of effects among the families reached.

Art has been successfully positioned as a promotional tool inside marketing settings. This research examines various relationships between vintage products and art. Three studies investigated whether (a) consumers perceived vintage products as more art‐like than modern versions of the same products; (b) vintage products positively affected consumers' evaluations of nearby products by inducing art‐infusion‐like spillover effects; and (c) the observed effects emerged from the ability of vintage products to engage consumers' social‐self perceptions. This research extended the theoretical and practical utility of art‐infusion effects to a new product type (vintage) and marketing function (promotions). Consumers were more likely to view vintage products, as opposed to contemporary goods, as works of art. This research was the first to position vintage products as art, to elicit art‐like infusion effects from vintage products, and to reveal positional consequences ensuing from art‐infusion effects without utilizing art as a promotional tool. Positioning value instead emerged from placing contemporary offerings physically near vintage products in promotional contexts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Being on a career plateau is widely regarded as an undesirable career experience characterised by a lack of individual proactivity, ability, or opportunity for promotion. In this paper, we present an alternative view arguing that some employees may choose to plateau their careers and deliberately forego opportunities for hierarchical progression. Drawing on in‐depth interviews with 75 law enforcement officers in the US and Australia, we explore why they declined a promotion opportunity or elected not to apply for promotion. Drawing on social cognitive career theory, we develop a provisional taxonomy characterised by individual proactivity: self‐initiated and self‐resigned career plateaus. Specifically, we report how the decision to remain on either of these career plateaus is informed by either the low valence accorded to a promoted position or, paradoxically, the reduced self‐efficacy in navigating what is viewed as a flawed promotion system.

Background: Champions are integral across research in cancer, yet studies exploring their roles are limited and have produced mixed results. The current review examines and synthesizes descriptions of how champions emerged and the types of activities they most often performed. By examining evidence from across the translational research continuum, this scoping review aims to characterize the role of champions and strategies that facilitate their involvement in the implementation of cancer care interventions in both clinical and community-based settings. Methods: This scoping review was designed and implemented in compliance with PRISMA-ScR. The review focused on peer-reviewed articles in English-language journals. We searched five databases: PubMed (including MEDLINE), Scopus (including EMBASE), CINAHL, PsycINFO, and the Cochrane Library. Articles published from 1971 to 2022 were included. Two members of the team reviewed in duplicate each article and then a single member of the team extracted the data in Covidence, with a second member comparing the extraction to the original article. Qualitative and quantitative data were extracted and then synthesized. These data were used to summarize core champion activities and implementation strategies and to characterize barriers and facilitators to using champions in research. Results: A total of 74 articles were included in the review. The qualitative synthesis highlighted facilitators and barriers to the effective use of champions. Facilitators included consideration of an individual's characteristics when identifying champions, time spent planning for the specific responsibilities of champions, working within a supportive environment, and identifying champions embedded in the target setting. Major barriers included constrained time, low self-efficacy among champions, inadequate training, high turnover rates of champions, and a lack of buy-in from organizational leadership toward the intervention. Champions also were mostly assigned their roles, had varied core activities, and used complementary strategies to empower their target populations. Champions' most frequent core activities include facilitation, outreach/promotion, and recruitment of participants into studies. Conclusions: Champions were used in research of many cancer types and often serve similar roles regardless of where they are located within the translational research process. Despite their critical role, evidence is lacking on the impact of champions specifically on outcomes of many of the research studies that include them. Future research is needed to understand the nuances of champion-driven approaches across diverse cancer care settings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study explores the use of TikTok by public broadcasters France TV, BBC and SVT to measure its informational and promotional relevance on the platform, and to identify the types of videos that generate the highest levels of engagement among users. By examining the news profile associated with the information and the corporate profile of each of the selected broadcasters, 120 publications were analyzed, counting the number of users and interactions, including likes and levels of engagement of the content. In addition, a content analysis was carried out focusing on the formal, promotional and informative characteristics of the posts. The findings revealed an interest in both promotional and informational content shared by the platforms on TikTok. In the case of SVT, higher levels of engagement are observed in comparison to the BBC and France TV profiles. Among the contents with the highest engagement, those of an informative kind with a focus on social issues stand out, highlighting proximity and immediacy. In the promotional domain, videos about events and cultural content stand out. From a structural point of view, content designed specifically for the platform predominates, as opposed to adaptations and with a duration of <1 min. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In response to the need for better guidance and regulation for commercially produced infant and toddler foods and beverages, the WHO Regional Office for Europe published a Nutrient and Promotion Profile Model (hereafter NPPM) in 2022. This study assessed the nutritional and promotional profile of infant and toddler foods (for ages 6–36 months) sold in Australian supermarkets in 2022 using the NPPM. The main types of claims used for product promotion were also examined and results were presented by category and by packaging type. Nutrient and claims data were extracted for commercially produced infant and toddler products from The George Institute's FoodSwitch database. Products were classified according to NPPM food categories and assessed against relevant nutritional and promotional requirements. Of the 309 products examined, 78% failed to meet the nutritional requirements of the NPPM, and 0% met the promotional requirements. Every product had at least one claim on‐pack that was prohibited under the NPPM, with some products displaying up to 21 different claims on‐pack. Pouches had the highest number of prohibited claims of all packaging types. Findings highlight that urgent work is needed to improve the nutritional quality of commercially produced infant and toddler foods in Australia. The high use of prohibited claims also suggests the need to regulate the type and number of claims that can be made on‐pack, as parents and carers could easily be misled by the deceptive labelling that is currently allowed to be displayed. Key messages: Every commercially produced infant and toddler food product available in Australian supermarkets in 2022 failed to meet World Health Organization recommendations for product promotion.A total of 78% of products did not meet the overall nutritional requirements. This was most commonly due to products failing energy and total sugar content requirements.Up to 21 different claims were found on product packaging, with products on average displaying 6.7 claims.Pouches, which have experienced rapid growth in the infant and toddler food market in Australia, currently represent more than 50% of all products available on supermarket shelves. This is concerning, given these products had the highest use of prohibited claims. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Promotions are central to individual career success. For organisations, it is crucial to identify and develop employees capable of higher-level responsibility. Previous research has shown that personality traits as inter-individual differences predict promotions. However, effects have mostly been examined on a broad factor level. This study investigated longitudinal effects of Big Five personality traits on both factor (neuroticism, extraversion, openness to experience, agreeableness, conscientiousness) and more detailed facet levels on promotions in employees of a multinational wholesale company (N = 1774, n = 343 promoted). We also explored how personality differentially impacts promotional likelihood as a matter of target job level (individual contributor vs. first- or senior-level manager roles). Overall, associations with promotions were detected for neuroticism (negative) and conscientiousness (positive). At the more nuanced facet level, all Big Five factors had at least one personality facet that was significantly related to promotions. Additionally, personality-promotion relationships were generally stronger for lower- rather than higher-level promotions. Taken together, our findings demonstrate that employee personality traits have a meaningful impact on who will be promoted and should hence be considered in organisational personnel selection, personnel development, and performance management practices.

We construct an injection from the set of r -fans of Dyck paths (resp. vacillating tableaux) of length n into the set of chord diagrams on [ n ] that intertwines promotion and rotation. This is done in two different ways, namely as fillings of promotion matrices and in terms of Fomin growth diagrams. Our analysis uses the fact that r -fans of Dyck paths and vacillating tableaux can be viewed as highest weight elements of weight zero in crystals of type B r and C r , respectively, which in turn can be analyzed using virtual crystals. On the level of Fomin growth diagrams, the virtualization process corresponds to the Roby–Krattenthaler blow up construction. One of the motivations for finding rotation invariant diagrammatic bases such as chord diagrams is the cyclic sieving phenomenon. Indeed, we give a cyclic sieving phenomenon on r -fans of Dyck paths and vacillating tableaux using the promotion action. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Drawing on regulatory focus and brokerage literatures, we develop new theory that explains individuals' motivation to form and change their relationships in organizational networks. Specifically, we examine how promotion and prevention regulatory foci influence such relational processes as tie formation, maintenance, dissolution, and reconstitution. We further explore the relationship between motivational orientations of regulatory foci and relational orientations to brokerage (i.e., tertius iungens/gaudens) and develop a typology that outlines four major ego-level configurations. Each of the four configurations, labeled dutiful coordinators, aspirational arbitrators, versatile brokers, and indifferent egos, offers distinct predictions on network change and structuring. Overall, our theory contributes to organization theory by elaborating on the important role of ego motivation and strategy in organizational networks, and in so doing, advances research that focuses on individual agency in social networks and complements structuralist approaches to understanding social network dynamics.

Popular travel destinations worldwide are often visited because they are historically significant. As such, many historic locations are promoted using historical imagery. While tourist attractions and travel destinations advertise based on their historical significance, few studies have looked at how the use of history impacts consumer perceptions of the aforementioned travel destinations. This paper examines how retro imagery in visual-based marketing appeals influences consumers' desire to travel to popular tourist locations. The study reported here utilizes two experiments with a travel destination with a known association with retro imagery and nostalgic advertising. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this research is to explore the factors influencing employee’s work motivation in Vietnamese SMEs. In the era of globalisation, logistics industry plays an indispensable role and offers significant potential development. However, along with the undeniable development opportunities, small and medium-sized logistics enterprises specializing in providing logistics services are also facing various challenges that stem from market fluctuation, international transporter competition, and other competitive transformations in the digital age. Hence, it is an urgent matter for SMEs and logistics enterprises to attract and retain current skilled staff in order to increase organizations’ productivity and competitiveness since success of the organization depends much upon employees effort and contributions. The author collects and analyzes information from books, newspapers, reports, and publications together with other previous scientific research. These collective data act as the theoretical basis for hypothesis development, questionnaire design, and scale measurements. Based on that, the author gathers data from 332 Vietnamese logistics companies by questionnaire surveys; regression analysis is then used for relationship estimations. The article pointed out five main factors, including employees, leadership, rewards, career promotion, and working conditions that create significant influence on employees’ motivation. The author then suggests various strategies for businesses to boost and improve the motivation of workers in Vietnamese logistics SMEs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The manufacturing industry is the foundation of the Malaysian economy. The manufacturing industry in Malaysia is diverse, but it has consistently demonstrated superiority in several industries, including semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, medical technology, oil and gas, and the processing and management of palm oil and rubber. Businesses may find themselves in a very hazardous situation if their employees are dissatisfied. Improving employee performance can help an organization increase its production volume and productivity. A lack of worker satisfaction can lead to disinterest and an inability to achieve specific goals. When new employees notice a pay disparity, dissatisfaction, disengagement, and disloyalty arise. It happens when workers believe they are being mistreated or unfairly treated. Businesses must prioritize the well-being of their employees because it is more important to retain them than to let them go. To remain competitive, the organization must keep qualified or competent staff motivated. The study aims to determine the mediating effect of job satisfaction in the relationship between wages, appreciation, recognition, and promotion on employee performance among employees at a multinational semiconductor company in Melaka. METHODS: For this investigation, the quantitative method was used to analyze information using partial least squares structural equation modeling. This study's sample size is 137, based on the partial least squares structural equation modeling sample size recommendation for an 80% statistical power. Employees of multinational semiconductor companies in Melaka received 142 questionnaires. The partial least squares structural equation modeling sample size table determines the sample size in this study, which combines convenience and nonprobability sampling. The relationship between the variables is determined through hypothesis testing. partial least squares structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data. FINDINGS: As a result, all eleven hypotheses were evaluated based on the variables - wages, appreciation, recognition, promotion, and job satisfaction have a positive and significant relationship with employee performance. The hypotheses have been accepted with a p-value ranging from 0.005 to 0.048. For direct relationship, the hypothesis from 1-7, there is a positive correlation (t = 2.993 to t=4.521, p = 0.005) between wages, appreciation, recognition, promotion, job satisfaction, and employee performance. Therefore, hypotheses 8-11 show an indirect relationship (mediating effect) that positive correlation with a significant p-value of 0.010 to 0.048 between an independent variable (wages, appreciation, recognition, and promotion), mediating variable (job satisfaction), and dependent variable (employee performance). CONCLUSION: The study provides empirical evidence and conceptual proof that the establishment of policy recommendations derived from the findings should consider Malaysian legal regulations. The management by objectives policy was implemented to improve organizational performance by establishing well-defined goals that management and employees can agree on. The management by objectives approach is a technique for inspiring workers through constructive management techniques because the management objectives approach can increase communication between management and employees. As a result, the management strategy contributes to improving employees' wages, appreciation, recognition, promotion, job satisfaction, and performance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In standard promotion tournaments, contestants are ranked based on their output or productivity. We argue that workers' career progression may also depend on their relative rankings in dimensions a priori unrelated to their job performance, such as visibility or in-person presence. Such implicit tournaments may rationalize a variety of seemingly counterproductive practices in the workplace, including long working hours, low uptake of statutory leave, and presenteeism. We illustrate the significance of implicit tournaments using the case of paternity leave among new fathers, where we exogenously vary a focal worker's ranking within a contest, not via his own leave status but that of his competitors, exploiting a policy reform. We show that the focal worker is put on a better earnings trajectory than otherwise when a larger share of his competitors take leave because of the reform. The focal worker's own absolute leave, however, has no direct effect on his earnings path as long as his own and his competitors' leave statuses are symmetric. With effective coordination, it should thus be possible for all fathers to utilize paternity leave without incurring unwarranted career costs. This has implications for statutory leave policies, flexible work arrangements, and gender equality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Time scarcity promotions (e.g., "40% off for a limited time") are mainstays of online retail marketing. Although positive effects of time scarcity promotions on consumer interest have been evidenced in the brick-and-mortar world, should retailers expect similarly robust effects online? The present research suggests the answer may be no. First, the authors report meta-analytic and experimental results suggesting that previously identified positive effects of time scarcity promotions observed offline may not emerge in online shopping contexts. Then, consistent with the prediction that online time scarcity promotions activate more persuasion knowledge than identical control promotions, the authors detail findings suggesting that providing retailer-exogeneous justifications for online time scarcity promotions' time restriction (e.g., consumers' birthdays, seasonal changes) can increase the potential of observing positive effects on consumer interest online. Further, results suggest that the positive effects of including exogenous time justification may be more likely when less time remains until the online promotion's expiration. However, results stop short of suggesting that online time scarcity promotions will consistently yield superior outcomes compared with identical online control promotions. Therefore, the authors highlight the continued need for careful managerial use as well as further research examining the optimal translation of offline tactics to online retail.

Objectives The purpose of the article and the research conducted is to identify the factors and criteria determining promotion in the Police. Material and methods The research used the diagnostic survey method, survey research technique and an original research tool in the form of a survey questionnaire. The survey research was conducted at the turn of 2019 and 2020. The research involved the so-called internal stakeholders who are police officers at various levels and, above all, improve their qualifications as part of an officer course and postgraduate studies organized at the Police Academy in Szczytno. For the purposes of this article, they are called internal stakeholders by the authors. Results The research shows that in a uniformed formation such as the police, the use of rational criteria determining professional promotion to higher positions is very limited. It can be assumed that there are certain symptoms that are generally considered pathological, in which promotion is most often determined by other, often non-substantive factors. Conclusions The conducted research indicates the need for an in-depth assessment and analysis of the implemented human resources management principles and the implementation of procedures to improve the state of human resources in this formation. It is also necessary to implement rules and procedures for constant supervision of the human resources management process, in particular the promotion process.

The aim of this community service was to activate the parish of St. Thomas Rasul Bedono Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME) community, which was already exist at that time, but it was not fully developed. The purpose of this community service was to share knowledge about the use of social media as a promotional tool for the mentioned MSME community. The MSME product images on their website were too simple. A product depends not only on the quality of the product itself, but also on how the photo of the product is presented on both websites and social media. Poor photo techniques will have an impact on the product's appeal, resulting in an impact on the sale of the product. The method for each activity in the community service program includes literacy, practice applying copywriting to social media uploads, practice on photography. Outcome of this community service was the application of social media as a promotional medium with application of copywriting to its upload and photography training utilizing mobile phones to support the promotional effort. The community service team was also helped the MSME actors in the mentioned community who were not yet actively involved, by means of interviewing them, writing articles about their businesses, and then publishing the articles on the parish MSME community website. The impact of this community service was an increase in the ability of the MSME actors to promote their products by uploading attractive product photos and applying copywriting concepts through social media, thus encouraging consumers to purchase, expanding the market, and increasing their income.

Abstract Background United States rural community-based practices are increasingly participating in undergraduate and graduate medical education to train the workforce of the future, and are required or encouraged to provide academic appointments to physicians who have typically not held an academic appointment. Mechanisms to identify faculty and award academic appointments across an entire health system have not been reported. Methods Our rural community regional practice identified academic appointments as important for participating in medical education. Over a three-year period, our regional leadership organized a formal education committee that led a variety of administrative changes to promote the adoption of academic rank. Data on attainment of academic appointments was obtained from our Academic Appointment and Promotion Committee, and cross referenced with data from our regional human resources department using self-reported demographic data. Results We describe a successful adoption strategy for awarding academic rank in a rural regional practice in which the percentage of physician staff with academic rank increased from 41.1 to 92.8% over a 3-year period. Conclusions Our experience shows that process changes can rapidly increase and then sustain academic appointments for physicians over time. More rural health systems may want to consider the use of academic rank to support educational programs while enhancing physician satisfaction, recruitment and retention.

Abstract Background Ethiopia enacted a comprehensive tobacco control law in 2019, which bans tobacco advertising and promotion activities. However, compliance with these laws at points-of-sale (PoS) has not been studied, resulting in a lack of research evidence on how the regulations are implemented. The purpose of the study was to assess compliance with tobacco advertising and promotion laws at PoS in 10 cities in Ethiopia. Methods Multi-stage cluster sampling was used to select 1468 PoS (supermarkets, minimarkets, merchandise stores, regular shops, permanent kiosks, khat shops, street vendors, and food and drink wholesalers). Data were collected using standardized observational checklists. Tobacco advertising and promotion indicators were used to compute indoor and outdoor compliance. Poisson regression models with log link function and robust variance were used to assess factors associated with open display of cigarette packages and indoor non-compliance. Results The average indoor compliance rate was 92.9% (95% CI:92.3–93.5). Supermarkets had the highest compliance (99.7%), while permanent kiosks showed the lowest compliance (89.8%). The highest average indoor compliance was observed at PoS in Addis Ababa (98.0%). About 60% of PoS were fully compliant in indoors. Indoor open display of cigarette packages was prevalent (32.5%, 95% CI:30.0-35.1). The average outdoor compliance was 99.6% (95% CI:99.5–99.7). Outdoor full compliance was 96.5%. Open display of cigarettes was significantly higher in permanent kiosks (adjusted prevalence ratio (adjPR) 6.73; 95% CI: 3.96–11.42), regular shops (adjPR 5.16; 95% CI: 3.05–8.75), and khat shops (adjPR 2.06; 95% CI: 1.11–3.83), while indoor non-compliance was significantly higher in these same types of PoS. Conclusions While outdoor compliance rates were relatively high, the lower indoor compliance rates particularly due to the high prevalence of open cigarette package displays indicates a major area for improvement in enforcing anti-tobacco advertising and promotion laws.

AbstractDeciding upon faculty members’ promotion or tenure is one of the most important tasks in higher education, and it has piqued the interest of researchers from different fields. This has led to an increased number of deep studies in recent years and resulted in an increasing publication growth rate. So, it seems essential that a comprehensive analytical study be done in this field with a bibliometrics approach aiming to identify research trends and patterns in the field of faculty members’ appraisal systems. The Web of Science was utilized for data collection through a search process on August 2, 2022, in which terms related to promotion, evaluation, and faculty members were searched in the topic section of all databases. By identifying research evolution (word and thematic evolution), core journals (Scientometrics), active countries (USA, United Kingdom, and China), types of research collaboration, and leading institutions in this field, policymakers can gain insights into the current state of research in this area and make informed decisions about future directions for faculty evaluations. Policymakers can use the study's findings to identify which institutions are leading the way in faculty appraisal research and collaborate with them to share best practices. Thematic mapping also allows for the identification of emerging research areas and helps researchers develop effective research strategies. Overall, this study's findings can help universities and policymakers develop more evidence-based and effective faculty member evaluation policies that promote academic excellence and contribute to the overall success of higher education institutions.

The object of study is digital branding. The process of attracting and keeping consumers in digital branding is considered. The phenomenon of digital branding and the basic tools of its impact on consumers are investigated. The global trends in the development of media consumption at the present stage are substantiated. Transformational changes in the process of consumption, as a consequence, have been proven to be transition to the area. It is determined that in order to attract and maintain online consumers, brands should respond quickly and establish effective feedback. Accordingly, the important role of digital branding is indicated. As a basis for the development of a marketing model of consumer involvement and keeping in digital branding it is proposed to use the AIDA model. The marketing model is indicated that allows to monitor the actions of consumers, as well as to control communication processes. The stages of the AIDA model in digital branding are highlighted – visiting the site, moving the goods to the basket, registration and payment of order. AIDA strategic tools in digital branding are identified. It is necessary to use the conversion coefficient to determine the efficiency of each stage of the model. It is proposed to supplement the classic Aida model with two elements of Satisfaction (S) and Loyalty (L) by receiving AIDASL. An advanced model of impact on consumers in digital branding has been developed. This model coordinates the stages of the AIDASL model with the main stages of the purchase decision process. The practical importance of the developed model of consumer involvement and maintenance in digital branding will increase the attention, interest, desire and level of purchase. This, in turn, will create the preconditions for increasing conversion at each stage of consumer contact with an online store, increasing their satisfaction and loyalty. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Whilst adolescence is often discussed as a challenging time, it is also a stage of life with tremendous potential for building positive skills that will support current and future mental health. This paper presents results from a pilot study of a mental health and stigma reduction program called The Inquiring Mind Youth, which is based on a series of programs that have previously demonstrated effectiveness in adult and workplace samples. The program was developed in collaboration with experts and youth and piloted in nine secondary schools across Canada (Calgary area and Eastern Coast). Data from 293 adolescent participants were collected using a pre-post-follow-up design. An overall medium effect size was found for both improved resilience skills (SMD = 0.49) and decreased stigmatizing attitudes (SMD = 0.38) pre-post program. An additional multi-level modelling analysis also showed improved resilience skills and decreased stigmatizing attitudes pre-post program, with more robust shifts in one geographic region (Calgary area). Further analysis showed that resilience improvements were retained at follow-up, with smaller effects. The results of this pilot study support ongoing work and development of programming that aims to foster resilience and reduce stigmatizing attitudes in young people. Highlights: A novel mental health promotion and stigma reduction program (The Inquiring Mind Youth) was developed and piloted in Canadian schools. Participants showed increased resilience skills, decreased stigmatizing attitudes, and increased willingness to seek help after participating in the program. Males saw more improvements than females on resilience, while the opposite was found with stigmatizing attitudes, with females decreasing significantly more. Results support efforts in program development aimed at fostering resilience and reducing stigmatizing attitudes in youth. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
