    Notes: This study examined the relationship between lateness, absenteeism, and overall job performance among nursing home employees. We addressed four issues: (a) agreement between subordinate and superior in their ratings, (b) the stability of rated lateness and rated absenteeism over 6 months, (c) the correlation between ratings of lateness and absenteeism assigned by the worker to himself or herself and the corresponding ratings from supervisors, and (d) the relationship of rated lateness and rated absenteeism to impressions of overall job performance. Neither attendance nor punctuality showed inter-rater agreement between the worker and his/her supervisor on either of the two occasions. Ratings of attendance were not stable across time for either the subordinate (r=.16) or the supervisor (r=.04), but punctuality ratings showed moderate temporal stability over 6 months for both subordinate (r=.59) and supervisor (r=. 41) impressions. On the first administration of the rating form, attendance and punctuality were not significantly correlated to each other in either the workers' self-ratings (r=.17) nor the supervisors' ratings of the workers (r=.08). On the second administration, however, these two facets were moderately correlated with each other in both workers' (r=.54) and supervisors' (r=. 39) impressions of employee behavior. Compared with attendance, punctuality was somewhat more highly correlated with impressions of overall job performance from the perspective of the worker herself/himself as well as the supervisor.

    Notes: Advertising is not a process by which gullible consumers are persuaded to buy things they don't want, according to the authors of this paper. Instead, it furnishes consumers with some useful information. It is not so much the claims made by advertisers that are helpful, but the fact that they are willing to spend extravagant amounts of money on a product that is informative. The authors find tentative evidence for this view of advertising and discuss its implications.

    Notes: Abstract— The present research was conducted to evaluate if there is an interrelationship between methionhe and choline as well as between betaine and choline in feed formulations for channel catfish. A semi-purified basal diet was formulated to contain 28-g crude protein/100-g diet. DL-methionine was added to the basal diet to produce deplete, sufficient, and replete levels of methionine (0.35%, 0.39%, and 0.43%); choline chloride (200, 400, and 600-mg cholinentg diet) was added to the basal diet to produce low, median, and high levels of choline; and free base betaine (0 and 1,000-mg betainelkg diet) was added to the basal diet to produce sufficient and replete levels of betaine in eight experimental diets. Each diet was randomly fed to triplicate groups of fish (15 fishleach group) over a 13-wk growth trial. Added choline in the diets containing 0.35% (deplete) methionine had a significant linear effect on weight gain and feed consumption. There were no significant differences in weight gain, FCR, survival, HIS, and liver lipid between diet 3 (deplete methionhe and high choline) and diet 6 (sufficient methionine and median choline). Both added choline and betaine in the diets containing 0.39% (sufficient) methionine had significant effects on weight gain, feed consumption, and FCR. There were no significant differences in the measured parameters between diet 7 (low choline and excess betaine) and diet 6 (median choline and no betaine). Methionine had no significant Linear effect on weight gain and feed consumption when choline was low. Therefore, in the absence of sufficient methionine, choline or betaine can spare a portion of methionine requirement of channel catfish. In the absence of sufficient choline, methionine cannot spare choline requirement of channel catfish. Further, in the absence of sufficient choline, betaine can spare at least a portion of choline requirement of channel catfish.

    Notes: Abstract— Plasma concentrations of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs) were compared between market sized sunshine and palmetto bass. Differences between male and female fish were examined and both hybrids were sampled before and after a low-water confinement stress. There was no difference in body weight between the hybrid types, however, females were significantly heavier than males in both hybrids. Plasma IGF-I concentrations were significantly higher in pre-stressed palmetto bass when compared with sunshine bass, and male palmetto bass had significantly higher IGF-I concentrations than females. Two hours after a 15-min low-water stress, a significant decrease in palmetto bass IGF-I occurred, but there was no change in sunshine bass IGF-I concentrations. Levels of a 33-kDa IGFBP were similar in pre-stressed palmetto bass when compared with sunshine bass; however, no differences due to gender were evident for either hybrid. Two hours after a 15-min low-water exposure, there was no change in the levels of a 33-kDa IGFBP in palmetto or sunshine bass. A more complete understanding of IGF-I, IGFBPs, and IGF-I receptors may be necessary to explain the role of IGF-I in regulating fish growth.

    Effects of Potassium, Magnesium and Age on Growth and Survival of Litopenaeus vannamei Post-Larvae Reared in Inland Low Salinity Well Waters in West Alabama (2005)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd
    Journal of the World Aquaculture Society 36 (2005), S. 0

    Notes: Abstract— The production of Litopenaeus vannamei in inland low-salinity well water is a growing industry in several regions of the world. The state of Alabama in the southeastern USA is one such region with a large saline aquifer that could be utilized for shrimp culture. However, some farmers are experiencing problems rearing marine shrimp while others are having considerable success. Previous work has correlated low levels of potassium andor magnesium to poor shrimp survival. The problem is further complicated by the fact that the age at acclimation may also influence survival. In our present study, we evaluated the effects of potassium, magnesium, and the age of acclimation on growth and survival of PL at two farms. The first experiment was run in a static system utilizing four replicate tanks per treatment. Fifty PL17 (0.0066 g) that had been acclimated to 4 ppt seawater were stocked into each tank and the following treatments evaluated: low salinity well water (LSWW) without mineral supplements, LSWW with KCl, LSWW with MgCl2, and LSWW with KCl and MgCl, added to the water. Shrimp were harvested, counted and weighed after 4 wk. Survival was significantly higher in treatments receiving mineral supplements whereas biomass was only higher in the two treatments with potassium supplements. The second experiment was set up initially as a static system filled with 8.5-ppt reconstituted sea water that was then converted to a flow-through system using LSWW. This experiment evaluated the effect of PL age at acclimation on survival and growth at four different ages (PL15, PL19, PL23, and PL27). All tanks were stocked with 50 PL13L. vannarnei. Two days after stocking, and then at 4-d intervals, a series of four tanks were converted to flow through (rate of 40 Lhr) using LSWW. After acclimation, water flow was maintained in all tanks until 28 d after stocking when tanks were harvested and surviving shrimp were counted and weighed.Survival and growth increased with PL age when shrimp were acclimated to inland low salinity well water.

    Notes: Shrimp farmers have access to and have evaluated a diverse number of shrimp species; however, due to culture and market considerations three penaeid species (Penaeus monodon, P. orientalis and P. vunnamei) account for 80% of the world production (Weidner and Rosenbeny 1992). Although culture techniques for these species have been extensively studied and are relatively well established, they are not native to U.S. coastal waters and hence possess problems associated with the use of exotic species. Three native species P. aztecus. brown shrimp; P. duorarum, pink shrimp; and P. setiferus, white shrimp, support commercial fisheries along the Gulf states (Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council 1981). The commercial culture of these species would avoid the inherent problems associated with the culture of exotic species and allow shrimp farmers in the Caribbean basin to more effectively expand operations.

    Corporate governance, takeovers and the role of the non-executive director (1990)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd

    Topics: Economics
    Notes: The takeover mechanism may have some effect on disciplining managers - but it also allows them to spend shareholders money on self promotion. The authors of this paper argue that if we had a better system of corporate governance with a revitalised role for independent directors fewer takeovers would occur, and calls for reform of the acquisition market would diminish.

    Notes: It seems that everybody wants to know which companies are the most successful. To help throw light on the issue, and to do so more reliably than the plethora of league tables and charts produced by most business magazines, the London Business School have teamed up with The Economist to compile an assessment of the top performers of the 1980's.

    High quality positioning and the success of reputable products (1990)

    Topics: Economics
    Notes: It has become almost a conventional wisdom that high quality is an essential route to high profits. In this article Evan Davis shows that the truth is likely to be more complicated. The large profits that accrue to high quality producers are usually rewarding some inimitable production skill, or are reflecting the faith that customers have in the reputation of the producer to deliver a quality product in a market where quality is hard to monitor. For producers that do not have special skills, or who have no easy means of acquiring a reputation, the benefits of high quality positioning may not be great.

    Notes: For those striving to create good companies it would at least be helpful to be able to identify them. While the very best companies usually perform well under any measure of corporate success, most conventional measures stack the odds in favour of certain companies over others. Capital intensity and gearing frequently interfere in the appropriate ranking of firms. This paper analyses some of the problems of commonly quoted performance indicators, and nominates an alternative.
