Incentives as a means of motivation that encourages employees to work with optimal performance, which is intended as an extra income outside of salaries or wages that have been determined. This study entitled "Analysis of incentives influence on job satisfaction and employee performance". Incentives can explain the employee's performance significantly by using job satisfaction as a mediating variable. The purpose of this study was to determine and analyze whether incentives can affect employee performance and job satisfaction of employees at the office taps Kabupanten Jepara. The population of this research are 100 people and this research use of unrestricted random sampling technique or the total sampling, ie a total of 100 people as a whole is taken as the sample population. Reality on the ground finally set only 93 respondents, resulting in a decrease of 7%, and the implications of the decline in the percentage of the sample size is still considered to meet the principle representitas research, because below 30 percent.This study used multiple linear regression analysis. This studi test how incentives and job satisfaction variable take effect on the dependent variable it is employee performance. The results showed that there is a positive and significant effect of incentives on employee performance can be explained by the model, which is 70.7%, there is a positive and significant direct effect on job satisfaction and employee performance can be explained in our model by 63.1%, and incentives sigifikan positive effect on job satisfaction and employee can be explained by the model at 49.7%

Defining and measuring health literacy: how can we profit from other literacy domains?

When the antecedents of health-promoting behavior are explored, the concept of health literacy is deemed a factor of major influence. Originally defined as reading, writing and numeracy skills in the health domain, health literacy is now considered a multidimensional concept. The ongoing discussion on health literacy reveals that no agreement exists about which dimensions to include in the concept. To contribute to the development of a consistent and parsimonious concept of health literacy, we conducted a critical review of concepts in other literacy domains. Our review was guided by two research questions: (i) Which dimensions are included in the concepts of other literacy domains? (ii) How can health literacy research profit from other literacy domains? Based on articles collected from PubMed, PsycINFO, Communication & Mass Media Complete, CINAHL, SAGE Full-Text Collection, Cochrane Library and Google Scholar as well as selected monographs and editions, we identified seven distinct dimensions. Some of the dimensions recur across all reviewed literacy domains and first attempts have been made to operationalize the dimensions. Expanding upon these dimensions, the paper discusses how they can prove useful for elaborating a consistent and parsimonious concept of health literacy and foster the development of a more holistic measur

Estudio descriptivo de biomarcadores de estrés oxidativo e inflamación en miocardiopatía chagásica

Introducción: Estudios indican que reacciones inflamatorias en el corazón se relacionarían con mayor producción de citoquinas que inducirían una mayor generación de especies reactivas de oxígeno y de nitrógeno (ROS/RNS). En la actualidad, se sugiere que el estrés oxidativo constante en el corazón contribuiría a la Miocardiopatía Chagásica Crónica (MCC).Fil: Diviani, Romina. Universidad Nacional de Rosario.

Análisis de factores genéticos de riesgo asociados al estrés oxidativo en miocardiopatía chagásica crónica

INTRODUCCIÓN: Diferentes estudios sugieren que el huésped podría responder al estrés oxidativo inducido por el Trypanosoma cruzi (Tc), mediante la activación de la defensa antioxidante. En la Miocardiopatía Chagásica Crónica (MCC), la inflamación progresiva podría modificar el estado antioxidante celular. Enzimas involucradas en el estrés oxidativo controlarían la generación de especies reactivas del oxígeno.Fil: Diviani, Romina. Universidad Nacional de Rosario.

AKAP-Lbc mobilizes a cardiac hypertrophy signaling pathway.

Elevated catecholamines in the heart evoke transcriptional activation of the Myocyte Enhancer Factor (MEF) pathway to induce a cellular response known as pathological myocardial hypertrophy. We have discovered that the A-Kinase Anchoring Protein (AKAP)-Lbc is upregulated in hypertrophic cardiomyocytes. It coordinates activation and movement of signaling proteins that initiate MEF2-mediated transcriptional reprogramming events. Live-cell imaging, fluorescent kinase activity reporters, and RNA interference techniques show that AKAP-Lbc couples activation of protein kinase D (PKD) with the phosphorylation-dependent nuclear export of the class II histone deacetylase HDAC5. These studies uncover a role for AKAP-Lbc in which increased expression of the anchoring protein selectively amplifies a signaling pathway that drives cardiac myocytes toward a pathophysiological outcome

The House in South Asian Muslim Women’s Early Anglophone Life-Writing And Novels

This dissertation undertakes the first sustained examination of representations of Islamicate material culture, domestic interiors, residential forms, and historic sites in the early Anglophone writing of South Asian Muslim women. Reading the memoirs of Pakistani diplomat Shaista Suhrawardy Ikramullah, From Purdah to Parliament (1963), in conjunction with three early Anglophone novels, namely, Zeenuth Futehally’s Zohra (1951), Mumtaz Shah Nawaz’s The Heart Divided (1957), and Attia Hosain’s Sunlight on a Broken Column (1961), I develop the analytic category of autoethnographic spatial discourse in contradistinction to the harem fantasy inflected colonial spatial discourse prevalent at the time in order to describe the representational practice of these twentieth century Muslim women authors, who by virtue of writing in English are compelled to serve as cultural translators. I argue that their writing positions them as cultural agents engaged in a curatorial intervention that brings the past, the built environment and cultural practices to bear on forms of remembering, and greatly influences the form of the early novel in India and Pakistan. The first chapter shows that the traditional residential form was crucial to Ikramullah’s self-fashioning as an exceptional member of the reconstituted postcolonial Muslim elite milieu of Pakistan. Ikramullah used her command over ceremonial and material culture to articulate a hybrid identity that incorporated the seemingly incommensurable inheritance of Islamicate cultural traditions and the learned codes of colonial modernity. The second chapter investigates why the novels escaped sustained scholarly attention when they first appeared, in what contexts they enjoyed renewed interest, and what this tells us about the field of literary history in South Asia. I argue that the current frames through which early novels in South Asia are viewed require some recalibration in order to accommodate discussions of Muslim women’s writing in English. The third and final chapter presents readings that suggest that while the private residence is conceptually monumentalised in Sunlight on a Broken Column, the autoethnographic spatial discourse in The Heart Divided and Zohra privatizes monumental landscapes as sites of transgressive love, folding them within the domain of interiority and erotic excess

Comparative transcriptome profiling of the injured zebrafish and mouse hearts identifies miRNA-dependent repair pathways.

The adult mammalian heart has poor regenerative capacity. In contrast, the zebrafish heart retains a robust capacity for regeneration into adulthood. These distinct responses are consequences of a differential utilization of evolutionary-conserved gene regulatory networks in the damaged heart. To systematically identify miRNA-dependent networks controlling cardiac repair following injury, we performed comparative gene and miRNA profiling of the cardiac transcriptome in adult mice and zebrafish. Using an integrated approach, we show that 45 miRNA-dependent networks, involved in critical biological pathways, are differentially modulated in the injured zebrafish vs. mouse hearts. We study, more particularly, the miR-26a-dependent response. Therefore, miR-26a is down-regulated in the fish heart after injury, whereas its expression remains constant in the mouse heart. Targets of miR-26a involve activators of the cell cycle and Ezh2, a component of the polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2). Importantly, PRC2 exerts repressive functions on negative regulators of the cell cycle. In cultured neonatal cardiomyocytes, inhibition of miR-26a stimulates, therefore, cardiomyocyte proliferation. Accordingly, miR-26a knockdown prolongs the proliferative window of cardiomyocytes in the post-natal mouse heart. This novel strategy identifies a series of miRNAs and associated pathways, in particular miR-26a, which represent attractive therapeutic targets for inducing repair in the injured heart
