TL;DR: Regression results indicate that the performance-oriented HR subsystems had a positive relationship with firm performance and that the relationship was mediated by middle managers' affective commitment to the firm.
Abstract: In this study, the authors developed a dual-concern (i.e., maintenance and performance) model of human resources (HR) management. The authors identified commonly examined HR practices that apply to the middle manager level and classified them into the maintenance- and performance-oriented HR subsystems. The authors found support for the 2-factor model on the basis of responses from 2,148 managers from 463 firms operating in China. Regression results indicate that the performance-oriented HR subsystems had a positive relationship with firm performance and that the relationship was mediated by middle managers' affective commitment to the firm. The maintenance-oriented HR subsystems had a positive relationship with middle managers' continuance commitment but not with their affective commitment and firm performance. This study contributes to the understanding of how HR practices relate to firm performance and offers an improved test of the argument that valuable and firm-specific HR provide a source of competitive advantage.

TL;DR: In this article, the use of time series SARIMA and MARIMA with interventions in forecasting tourism demand using ten arrival series for Hong Kong was presented, and the forecasts obtained using models that capture stochastic non-stationary seasonality and interventions, with intervention analysis, are compared with other eight time series models and were found to have the highest accuracy.

TL;DR: The effects of soft tissue stiffening on the stress distribution of the plantar surface and bony structures during balanced standing were investigated and showed that a five-fold increase in soft tissue stiffness led to about 35% and 33% increase in the peak plantar pressure at the forefoot and rearfoot regions, respectively.

TL;DR: The CREAM consortium conducted genome-wide meta-analyses, which identified 16 new loci for refractive error in individuals of European ancestry and 8 were shared with Asians, and identified 8 additional associated loci.
Abstract: Refractive error is the most common eye disorder worldwide and is a prominent cause of blindness Myopia affects over 30% of Western populations and up to 80% of Asians The CREAM consortium conducted genome-wide meta-analyses, including 37,382 individuals from 27 studies of European ancestry and 8,376 from 5 Asian cohorts We identified 16 new loci for refractive error in individuals of European ancestry, of which 8 were shared with Asians Combined analysis identified 8 additional associated loci The new loci include candidate genes with functions in neurotransmission (GRIA4), ion transport (KCNQ5), retinoic acid metabolism (RDH5), extracellular matrix remodeling (LAMA2 and BMP2) and eye development (SIX6 and PRSS56) We also confirmed previously reported associations with GJD2 and RASGRF1 Risk score analysis using associated SNPs showed a tenfold increased risk of myopia for individuals carrying the highest genetic load Our results, based on a large meta-analysis across independent multiancestry studies, considerably advance understanding of the mechanisms involved in refractive error and myopia

TL;DR: In this paper, the first-order kinetic model was used to investigate the effect of pH, pH, dosages of persulfate and Fe2+, temperature, and presence of inorganic ions (Cl−, NO3−, HCO3− and H2PO4−) on OG degradation.
