This study investigates the impact of an organization’s response to poaching on employee productivity while considering mediating role organizational agility, contributing sustainability literature. The aimed explore three responses toward poaching, including constructive (CR), defensive (DR), and retaliatory (RR), productivity. survey-based approach collected data from companies in Pakistani s...

Certain HLA-DR alleles confer strong susceptibility to the autoimmune disease rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We compared RA-associated alleles, HLA-DR*0401, HLA-DR*0404, and HLA-DR*0405, with closely related, non-RA-associated alleles, HLA-DR*0402 and HLA-DR*0403, to determine whether they differ in their interactions with the class II chaperone, invariant chain (Ii). Ii binds to class II molecules...

Stable isotopes provide insight into ecosystem carbon cycling, plant physiological processes, atmospheric boundary-layer dynamics, and are useful for the integration of processes over multiple scales. Of particular interest is the carbon isotope content (dC) of nocturnal ecosystem-respired CO2 (dR). Recent advances in technology have made it possible to continuously examine the variation in dR ...

Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) is divided into 8 FAB subgroups based on differentiation and maturation properties of the neoplastic cells. Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), or M3 AML, is associated with disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). Flow cytometric immunophenotyping differentiates among the AML subtypes. Key markers in this classification include the myeloid antigens CD13 an...

Non D-loop direct repeats (DRs) in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) have been commonly implicated in the mutagenesis of mtDNA deletions associated with neuromuscular disease and ageing. Further, these DRs have been hypothesized to put a constraint on the lifespan of mammals and are under a negative selection pressure. Using a compendium of 294 mammalian mtDNA, we re-examined the relationship between s...

Demand response (DR) has many beneficiaries in the electricity market. There are independent players who are interested in DR, which include: transmission system owners, distributors, retailers, and aggregators. In this paper DR is introduced as a tradable commodity that can be exchanged between DR buyers and sellers in a pool-based market which is called demand response exchange (DRX). DRX ope...

background over the past few decades diabetes has emerged as an important non-communicable disease in subsaharan africa (ssa). sight loss from diabetic retinopathy (dr) can be prevented with screening and early treatment. the objective of this paper is to outline the required actions and considerations in the planning and development of dr screening services.   methods a multiple-case study app...

Climate change-induced drought poses a serious negative impact on global crop production and food security. The Huang Huai Hai (HHH) Plain, one of the most important grain areas in China, is heavenly stricken by drought. Motivated formulating risk prevention strategies that adapt to climate change HHH therefore, present study aims quantitatively evaluate winter wheat under multiple scenarios us...

Subsets of NK cells can have distinct functions. Here, we report that >25% of human peripheral blood NK cells express HLA-DR after culture with IL-2. This can be driven by an expansion of a small subset of NK cells expressing HLA-DR, in contrast to previous assumptions that HLA-DR is upregulated on previously negative cells. HLA-DR-expressing NK cells showed enhanced degranulation to susceptibl...
