The Effect of Organizational Climate to Employee Engagement in a Private Educational Institution

Many structures have been investigated over the years as possible predictors of work involvement, some have been important and others have not been so important. In this context, one particular structure that has received little attention is the organizational climate. Thus, this study was conducted to explore the effect of organizational climate to employee engagement in a private educational institutional setting. The study used a descriptive research design involving 105 regular faculty of the tertiary department of a private tertiary school for the 2nd Semester of SY 2019-2020. This study used a modified questionnaire as a data gathering tool. The results of the study showed that the private tertiary school has a very good organizational climate in terms of rewards and clarity but poor in terms of flexibility, responsibility, and standards. Nonetheless, the results proved that the employees of the private tertiary school are very highly engaged in their respective jobs. Furthermore, the results proved that overall Organizational Climate affects employee engagement. Among climate dimensions, only clarity and rewards significantly affect employee engagement. The better the climate in terms of the two dimensions, the higher the level of employee engagement

Marcatori plasmatici ed urinari di danno renale acuto dopo chirurgia maggiore.

L'insufficienza renale acuta è una sindrome che determina un’improvvisa riduzione della funzionalità renale con conseguente ritenzione nell’organismo di cataboliti azotati (iperazotemia e ipercreatininemia) e compromissione anche delle altre funzioni renali (endocrino-metaboliche e di mantenimento dell’equilibrio idro-elettrolitico). Molti paziente sottoposti a interventi di chirurgia maggiore presentano un rischio elevato di sviluppare insufficienza renale acuta durante il ricovero in terapia intensiva. Questo studio e' finalizzato alla validazione di biomarker diagnostici plasmatici ed urinari (HSP70, NGAL, albuminuria, cistatina C, gamma GT, LDH) per la diagnosi precoce di danno renale acuto, possibilmente in fase pre-clinica

Em busca de contribuições Schumpeteriana à Teoria da Regulação: as telecomunicações brasileira numa perspectiva evolucionária.

Teoria Schuteriana e Economia da Regulação: o papel do progresso tecnologico e da inovação no arcabouço regulatório do setor de telecomunicações brasileira no período recente.Infrastructure is the part of the economy that requires the most overview from the state. The state enforces quality control through regulation. From the 1970s on, most of the literature dealing with this issue is based on the so-called "Institutionalist" schools, with New Institutional Economics (in Portuguese, Nova Economia Institucional, NEI). Despite the advances made in this field, theoretical and empirical results remain lacking. One particular issue is that of changing technological conditions that alter the effectiveness of now-outdated regulations. In this sense, the contributions of the Economics of Regulation and the New Institutional Economics lack of evolutionary elements, arguably Schumpeterian elements. This work investigates how Schumpeter's ideas can be applied to regulation-related economics. In particular the issue how firms apply technological progress and innovative strategies is addressed. In short, this work's main research question can be posed as: can the roles of technological progress and innovation theory on regulation be understood? One assumption made in this work is that the effects of technological progress on regulated sectors cannot be ignored. Beginning in 1990s, new regulatory frameworks have emerged. The regulations that were in place until then have been made less important than those newer approaches. Empirical results presented in this work show that institutional and technological changes had a big impact on the telecom sector. Anatel, the industry's watchdog, had to adapt to these changing circumstances. Its role became more complex and required it to understand the new market structure and the firms' behaviors in response to these changes

MONITORAMENTO DE CLOROFILA-A EM RESERVATÓRIOS DA REGIÃO METROPOLITANA DE SÃO PAULO: APLICAÇÃO DE MODELOS COM IMAGENS SENTINEL-2

A escassez global de água é agravada pela urbanização no Brasil, especialmente na Região Metropolitana de São Paulo (RMSP), onde a eutrofização demanda monitoramento contínuo. O Sensoriamento Remoto permite acompanhar detalhadamente a Clorofila-a em reservatórios extensos. Neste estudo, imagens Sentinel-2 estimaram a Clorofila-a em três reservatórios da RMSP: Billings, Guarapiranga e Rio Grande. Diversos modelos foram testados para identificar o mais adequado. O modelo exponencial de Dall'Olmo et al. (2003) apresentou melhor ajuste aos dados de Clorofila-a (R² = 0,92), seguido pelo modelo de Gitelson et al. (2003) (R² = 0,90). O modelo de banda única (705 nm) obteve R² de 0,71. Os resultados reforçam a potencialidade do Sensoriamento Remoto para monitorar a qualidade da água de reservatórios de forma precisa e consistente. No entanto, é essencial destacar que as estimativas de Clorofila-a provenientes de diferentes modelos apresentam ampla variabilidade. Portanto, uma avaliação prévia é necessária para identificar o modelo mais adequado aos reservatórios onde serão empregados
