    Abstract: Green composites have ecofriendly features that are technically and economically feasible while minimizing the pollution. It refers to the combination of degradable fibers mostly cellulosic materials and natural resins to develop green composites. Since mechanical performance of such structures is a concern for industry, by playing with the position and pattern of yarns in woven fabric, these properties can be optimized. This research focuses on the development and characterization of novel 3D woven jute/green epoxy composites having hybrid interlocking patterns. Four conventional derivatives of 3D woven fabrics i.e. orthogonal layer to layer (OLL), orthogonal through thickness (OTT), angle interlock layer to layer (ALL), angle interlock through thickness (ATT) and three novel 3D woven fabrics i.e. H1 (combination of OTT and ATT binder yarns), H2 (combination of OTT and ALL binder yarns), H3 (combination of orthogonal layer to layer warp and weft interlock called as bi-directional interlock) were developed using different binding patterns on dobby loom. Tensile, flexural, and short beam shear tests were performed to check the mechanical performance of the developed composites. OTT composite structure showed the highest values of tensile strength, modulus, and maximum force both in warp and weft directions as compared to the other 3D interlock structures, due to least interlacement/crimp of binder yarn. While ATT composite exhibited the highest value of flexural strength and modulus both in warp and weft directions due to through thickness angle binder yarns. H3 composite showed the highest values of force and short beam shear strength in warp direction.

    Abstract: The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between employer branding and employee retention. Moreover, this article investigates the moderating effect exerted by organizational identification in the relationship between employer branding and employee retention. The research is cross-sectional with the data gathered from Indian IT employees through a self-administered questionnaire. The data were analysed using regression and PROCESS Macro. The findings provide empirical insights on how employer branding helps in transferring to retaining employees. Also, the moderation analysis highlights the importance of organizational identification in ensuring employees’ long-term association with an organization. The results explicate the criticality of a positive identity in strengthening the effect of employer branding on employee retention. Despite numerous studies, the literature lags in understanding the role of organizational identification as a catalyst in the relationship between employer branding and employee retention.

    In: Management and Labour Studies, SAGE Publications, Vol. 48, No. 3 ( 2023-08), p. 359-380
    Abstract: The present study measures the influence of telecommuting on job satisfaction by taking job autonomy, schedule flexibility and work control, work–life balance and reduced job stress as outcome variables of telecommuting. The role of job satisfaction has also been investigated in determining organizational commitment and turnover intention. Confirmatory factor analysis was done to test the fitness of the data to the model along with ensuring the convergent and discriminant validity of the data. For testing the proposed hypotheses, the structural equations modelling technique was used. Results from the study confirm the role of telecommuting in enhancing the overall job satisfaction of employees which in turn improves their level of organizational commitment and reduces turnover intention. The findings of the study contribute empirically to the literature on voluntary part-time telecommuting and provide implications for the proper adoption of a part-time telecommuting arrangement post-COVID-19 and the using of telecommuting as a talent retention strategy.

    Abstract: Three-dimensional woven spacer composites have great potential for use in different parts of automobiles and construction application due to their better mechanical performance. In literature, time-dependent compression and recovery behavior of three-dimensional woven spacer composites was not studied. In this study, three-dimensional woven spacer composites (three thickness levels) were evaluated under static and dynamic (time-dependent) compression and recovery. The static compressive strength of composites was reduced with the increase in sample thickness. Also, the highest amount of energy was absorbed during the fracture of 4 mm (Comp4) thick composite, followed by 10 mm (Comp10) and 20 mm (Comp20) thick composites. Compressibility (%) and resiliency (%) was highest in Comp4 but recovery (%) was a bit lower as compared to the Comp10 and Comp20, while recovery (%) was highest in 10 mm thick composite as compared to the 4 mm and 20 mm thick samples. Moreover, higher value of permanent deformation in thickness with time was observed in Comp20 showing higher creep followed by Comp4 and Comp10. Furthermore, Comp4 showed the highest values of work done during cyclic compression loading–unloading testing, presenting highest toughness.

    Abstract: Professional development (PD) has generally been associated with the learning opportunities teachers avail externally. However, the latest trends propagate grounding PD activities in the work place with the assumption that such shift will not only enable teachers to be engaged in ongoing learning but also help them to find contextual solutions for their specific issues. For other academics, however, PD refers to all the planned and unplanned activities which teachers avail to improve their practices. In this background, this research explored how relevant stakeholders in rural Pakistan perceive PD. Using a survey method and questionnaire tool, data were collected from teachers, school leaders, education department officials, and representatives of PD providers. The outcomes showed that majority of stakeholders associate PD to external learning opportunities provided to the teachers. In addition, there is a lack of shared understanding among different stakeholders with regard to the meaning of PD. These conclusions have implications for PD providers and educational reformers. Teachers should be oriented on latest trends in PD as well as supported to use the latest school-based PD models for their ongoing development.

    Abstract: Coordination among stakeholders has been considered as a significant influential factor in providing teachers with quality Professional Development (PD) opportunities. The importance of coordination intensifies when a variety of PD providers work on the capacity building of teachers in the same region such as in some rural areas of Pakistan. The current research explored the nature of coordination among various stakeholders while designing and implementing PD programs for teachers in rural Pakistan. To achieve this aim, qualitative case study approach was used and data were generated through focused group interviews from PD providers, education managers, school leaders, and teachers. The results indicated a limited coordination among the stakeholders leading to a variety of issues such as overlapping programs, conflicting expectations from teachers, and selection of irrelevant teachers for PD. Drawing on the experience of the stakeholders who participated in this research, the paper suggests a model of coordination which the educational reformers, especially the PD providers and education managers, should consider while designing and implementing the capacity building programs for teachers.

    “My supervisors first check school cleanliness”: Factors inhibiting instructional leadership practices in Northern Sindh, Pakistan
    SAGE Publications ; 2023
    In:  Educational Management Administration & Leadership

    In: Educational Management Administration & Leadership, SAGE Publications
    Abstract: Amid the growing concerns of educational stakeholders about the academic achievements of students, educational literature, especially coming from the developed context, portrays instructional leadership as a desirable model with the potential to contribute to the improved capacity of teachers, ultimately leading to enhanced student achievements. However, research shows that school leadership is context-dependent, and different contexts and cultures differently influence the enactment of instructional leadership. Against this background, the current study explored the factors inhibiting instructional leadership practices in the developing world, taking Pakistan as a case. The research used a qualitative approach and case study method concentrating on the phenomenon of instructional leadership in a semi-government school in the context of Northern Sindh, Pakistan. Considering the area under investigation, the school manager and principal were purposefully selected as the research participants. Ten teachers were also consulted to enrich and triangulate data. The school leaders (manager and principal) were interviewed individually using semi-structured interviews, whereas the teachers were interviewed in groups. The emerging data were analyzed using thematic analysis. The results showed that the school leaders’ instructional leadership practices were mainly inhibited by their partial understanding of their responsibilities, limited exposure to capacity building opportunities, teachers’ attitudes, and a communication gap between the school and the upper management responsible for overseeing the academic activities of the school. The paper argues that unless these influential factors are considered by policy makers and educational leaders, it is very unlikely for the school leaders to exercise instructional leadership in this part of the world.

    Abstract: Background: Acute hemorrhage, both traumatic and nontraumatic, leads to significant morbidity and mortality, both in the United States and globally. Traditional treatment of acute hemorrhage is focused on hemostasis and blood product replacement. Tranexamic acid is an antifibrinolytic agent that may reduce acute hemorrhage through inhibition of plasminogen. Newer research suggests that coagulopathy, specifically fibrinolysis, may contribute significantly to the pathology of acute hemorrhage. Methods: We searched the PubMed database for relevant articles from 2000 to 2018 for the terms “tranexamic acid,” “TXA,” “antifibrinolytic,” “hyperfibrinolysis,” and “coagulopathy.” Our search was limited to studies published in the English language. Results: A total of 53 studies were included in this review. These articles suggest a potential role for tranexamic acid in the management of acute intracranial hemorrhage, epistaxis, hematuria, postpartum hemorrhage, gastrointestinal hemorrhage, and trauma-related hemorrhage. A theoretical risk of thrombotic events following tranexamic acid use exists, though large clinical trials suggest this risk remains exceedingly small. Conclusions: Recent studies suggest a mortality benefit with tranexamic acid following acute hemorrhage. First responders such as emergency medical technicians and emergency department clinicians should consider tranexamic acid as an adjunct therapy in the management of acute, severe traumatic and nontraumatic hemorrhage.

    Abstract: In quest of finding solutions of high cost and non-biodegradability issues of synthetic fibre-based composites, hybridization of natural fibres is a focused approach recently. The current study is focused to find out the optimized proportion of natural recycled fibre with virgin synthetic fibre which offers maximum mechanical properties with low cost. Synthetic/recycled (glass/waste cotton) and synthetic/natural/recycled (glass/flax/waste cotton) hybrid composites were developed and their mechanical and thermal properties were characterized. First, the mechanical properties, i.e. tensile strength, flexural strength and impact strength, that are most important for structural applications were studied. Second, the coefficient of thermal expansion of developed composites was determined. For optimization of the aforesaid properties of the hybrid composites, a statistical tool, i.e. grey relational analysis, was applied. The grey grades show that with the inclusion of waste cotton fibre, there is no significant decrease in mechanical properties, whereas there is a drastic decrease in cost. Furthermore, utilization of waste fibres in the composites is the best solution, as the poor mechanical properties of waste fibre are not as much pronounced in the composite form, thanks to continuous and strong interface of resin with recycled fibres.

    Abstract: Back pain is a commonly known problem for drivers and passengers traveling in long route vehicles, especially buses and trucks. The problem becomes more severe for people suffering from bedsores. The current embodiment is a step toward addressing this problem. This method helps to regulate blood flow and provide comfort to the drivers and bedsore patients. Pneumatic cylinder and 24 semi-circular designed aluminum buds are used in the assembly that moves up and down along with the comforter foam and sheet to serve the purpose. This design is an active way of providing comfort and has significantly helped in reducing back and lower body pain. A survey was conducted by 100 participants to analyze the comfort of the current embodiment. The age of these participants was divided into two categories. Results showed that comfort varies with age and pressure. It was concluded from the survey that young people from 20 to 30 years appreciate high pressure, whereas elderly people from 30 to 50 years like low pressure. The results from analysis of variance were found to be significant with feedback results. This system is also helpful in regulating blood flow. It was concluded that most people like high pressure and the first pattern.
