Public organisations provide training to enhance their employee’s capabilities better services. use different learning methods skills and service offering. Therefore, public are considering programmes such as classroom training, coaching, mentoring etc. For the be effective in providing programs employees, there is a need have an approach support these efforts. This study suggests that Organisa...

Frequency control is traditionally done on the generation side. Recently we have formulated an optimal load control (OLC) problem and derived a load-side primary frequency control as a primal-dual solution to OLC. The load-side control rebalances power and resynchronize frequencies after a disturbance but cannot restore the nominal frequency. In this paper we modify OLC and derive from it a fre...

Nocebo effects can be acquired by verbal suggestion, but it is unknown whether they can be induced through observational learning and whether they are influenced by factors known to influence pain perception, such as pain anxiety or pain catastrophizing. Eighty-five female students (aged 22.5 ± 4.4 years) were randomly assigned to one of three conditions. Participants in the control condition (...

Although significant research attention has been directed at understanding ERP system adoption and deployment, very little attention has been paid to understanding ERP system usage among these adopting firms. This paper seeks to fill this void. We examine the concept of organizational learning capability (OLC), defined by dimensions of managerial commitment, systems perspective, openness and ex...

The use of collective intelligence applications in educational settings has been reported in the literature for almost two decades. These collective intelligence applications aggregate individual knowledge via different synchronous and asynchronous mode of communications and Web 2.0 applications which support learning, communication and collaboration activities, and create “Wisdom of the Crowds...

Organizational learning capabilities (OLC) is defined as the organizational and managerial characteristics of factors that encourage learning process or enabling an organization to learn while knowledge performance can be explained as the ability of individual, group and organization to understand what they have learned. This study aims to determine the perceptions and relationships of organiza...

Despite extensive research, the degree to which organizations are successful in creating strategic advantage with ERP systems, and the factors that distinguish successful and unsuccessful ERP implementations are still equivocal. Using a lens of the Resource-Based View of the firm, and following studies that suggest that IT become valuable over time when they interact with other organizational r...

BACKGROUND The present study investigated the functional maturity of oligodendrocyte derived from rat bone marrow stromal cells (BMSC). METHODS The BMSC were isolated from female Sprague-Dawley rats and evaluated for different markers, such as fibronectin, CD106, CD90, Oct-4 and CD45. Transdifferentiation of OLC from BMSC was obtained by exposing the BMSC to DMSO and 1 µM all-trans-retinoic a...

Background and Objectives: Previously we reported in layer 3 of the inferior parietal lobule a reduction in the numerical density of oligodendrocytes (Nv Ol), oligodendrocyte clusters (Nv OlC) in BA 39, and in the number of perineuronal oligodendrocytes (N PnOl) in BA 39/40 areas in schizophrenia. These changes were associated with lack of insight. We hypothesized that similar abnormalities mig...

Stimulation of brain Na+ channels by Phe-Met-Arg-Phe-NH2 (FMRFamide) increases sympathetic nerve activity and blood pressure (BP) in Wistar rats. Blockade of brain ouabain-like compounds (OLC) by specific antibody Fab fragments prevents these responses to intracerebroventricular FMRFamide. In the present study, we evaluated the effects of high-salt intake on brain FMRFamide levels and the respo...
