Consequences of Employee Mobility

Purpose of the article: The level of unemployment and employee mobility can be considered as one of the persisting economical problems. Current knowledge economy is based on the quality and productivity of labour (employees). Employees and their productivity are thus key factor of success of economy. This study examines causes and consequences of employee mobility and how does it affect economy of state and organisations. Paper describes based on the content analysis and primary research employee mobility and suggests practices how to minimize its negative impact. Methodology/methods: The outputs are listed based upon primary and secondary research. Secondary data sources were processed from Czech statistical office and content analysis of scientific papers which focus on remuneration of employee mobility costs. Primary data has been collected in two successive quantitative surveys by means of questionnaire investigation. The surveys were focus on random sample of employees (who had already left their jobs). Scientific aim: The aim of the paper is to reveal costs and consequences of employee mobility and to suggest recommendations to keep employees in organisations in order to minimize loses, costs and production losings. Findings: The results show calculation of employee mobility costs. Costs per unemployed employee are listed. The outputs reflect whether it is just loss of production (employee just exchange job positions) or additional loss of state caused by receiving unemployment support, lowering of VAT and other related items. The revealed outputs allow us to assume that employee mobility is quite expensive phenomenon, not just because of employee turnover cost, but also because of high loss of production in organisations and also in state economy. All results are counted per employee per year. Finally, recommendations to lower employee mobility and its costs and losses are listed. Suggestions are based on the results of surveys of employees, who listed their reasons to leave job positions. Conclusions: The outcomes provide a specification and consequences of employees’ mobility. Further monitoring of causes and consequences of employee mobility together with greater emphasis into all related practices is necessary to obtain results for future prognosis

Diversity patterns and freshwater molluscs similarities in small water reservoirs

The survey presents the molluscan fauna from six impoundment systems of two sides (NW and SE) of the Small Carpathians. Altogether 25 species (15 gastropod and 10 bivalve) species were identified in reservoirs and their subsystems (inflows and outlets). The number of species per site ranged from 2 to 12, the mean number of species per site was 7. The mean number of individuals per site ranged from 15 to 905 (mean 174) ind/m2. Radix auricularia, R. ovata, Gyraulus albus, Gyraulus parvus/laevis, Hippeutis complanatus and Pisidium casertanum were present in more than 50% of reservoirs. The most abundant and frequent species in the entire area and all subsystems were Pisidium casertanum, Pisidium subtruncatum and Gyraulus parvus/laevis. Faunistic similarity indices indicate moderate degree of beta diversity i.e., differentiation among the sites; good separation of sites by cluster analysis indicates a different composition among inflows/outlets and littoral molluscan faunas of reservoirs

Synthesis of zeolites using the ADOR (Assembly-Disassembly-Organization-Reassembly) route

For new applications or improvements to existing ones, new zeolites with novel pore systems are desirable. We demonstrate a method for the synthesis of novel zeolites using the ADOR route. ADOR is an acronym for Assembly, Disassembly, Organization and Reassembly. This synthetic route takes advantage of the assembly of a relatively poorly stable zeolite which can be selectively disassembled into a layered material. The resulting layered intermediate can then be organized in different manners by careful chemical manipulation and then reassembled into zeolites with new topologies. By carefully controlling the organization step of the synthetic pathway, new zeolites with never before seen topologies are capable of being synthesized. The structures of these new zeolites are confirmed using powder X-ray diffraction and further characterized by nitrogen adsorption and scanning electron microscopy. This new synthetic pathway for zeolites demonstrates its capability to produce novel frameworks that have never been prepared by traditional zeolite synthesis techniques.Publisher PDFPeer reviewe

Vibrational Spectroscopy of Selected Natural Uranyl Vanadates

Raman spectroscopy has been used to study a selection of uranyl vanadate minerals including carnotite, curienite, francevillite, tyuyamunite and metatyuyamunite. The minerals are characterised by an intense band in the 800 to 824 cm-1 region, assigned to the ν1 symmetric stretching vibrations of the (UO2)2+ units. A second intense band is observed in the 965 to 985 cm-1 range and is attributed to the ν1 (VO3) symmetric stretching vibrations in the (V2O8) units. This band is split with a second component observed at around 963 cm-1. A band of very low intensity is observed around 948 cm-1 and is assigned to the ν3 antisymmetric stretching vibrations of the (VO3) units. Bands in the range 608-655 cm-1 may be attributed to molecular water librational modes or the stretching modes ￮(V2O2) units. Bands in the range 573-583 cm-1 may be connected with the ￮ (U-Oequatorial) vibrations or ￮ (V2O2) units. Bands located in the range 467-539 cm-1 may be also attributed to the ￮ (U-Oequatorial) units vibrations. The bending modes of the (VO3) units are observed in the 463 to 480 cm-1 range – there may be some coincidence with ￮ (U-Oequatorial). The bending modes of the (V2O2) in the (V2O8) units are located in a series of bands around 407, 365 and 347 cm-1 (ν2). Two intense bands are observed in the 304 to 312 cm-1 range and 241 to 264 cm-1 range and are assigned to the doubly degenerate ν2 modes of the (UO2)2+ units. The study of the vibrational spectroscopy of uranyl vanadates is complicated by the overlap of bands from the (VO3) and (UO2)2+ units. Raman spectroscopy has proven most useful in assigning bands to these two units since Raman bands are sharp and well separated as compared with infrared bands. The uranyl vanadate minerals are often found as crystals on a host matrix and Raman spectroscopy enables their in-situ characterisation without sample preparation
