  • Mannheim introduced the concept of a pair of curves, called as Mannheim partner curves, in 1878. Until now, Mannheim partner curves have been studied widely in the literature. In this study, we take into account of this concept according to Positional Adapted Frame (PAF) for the particles moving in the 3-dimensional Euclidean space. We introduce a new type special trajectory pairs which are called Mannheim partner P-trajectories in the Euclidean 3-space. The relationships between the PAF elements of this pair are investigated. Also, the relations between the Serret-Frenet basis vectors of Mannheim partner P-trajectories are given. Afterwards, we obtain the necessary conditions for one of these trajectories to be an osculating curve and for other to be a rectifying curve. Moreover, we provide an example including an illustrative figure.

  • Objectives: The objective of the present study was to validate a shortened transformational leadership (TL) scale (12 items) comprising core TL behaviour and to test the associations of this shortened TL scale with depressive symptoms. Methods: The study used cross-sectional data from 1632 employees of the overall workforce of a middle-sized German company (51.6% men; mean age, 41.35 years; standard deviation, 9.4 years). TL was assessed with the German version of the Transformational Leadership Inventory and depressive symptoms with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). The structural validity of the core TL scale was assessed with confirmatory factor analysis. Associations with depressive symptoms were estimated with structural equation modelling and adjusted logistic regression. Results: Confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modelling showed better model fit for the core TL than for the full TL score. Logistic regression revealed 3.61-fold (95% confidence interval [CI], 2.20 to 5.93: women) to 4.46-fold (95% CI, 2.86 to 6.95: men) increased odds of reporting depressive symptoms (HADS score >8) for those in the lowest tertile of reported core TL. Conclusions: The shortened core TL seems to be a valid instrument for research and training purposes in the context of TL and depressive symptoms in employees. Of particular note, men reporting poor TL were more likely to report depressive symptoms.

  • Objective: The Job Demand & Resources model suggests work characteristics are related to mental well-being and work engagement. Previous work describes the development of a combined construct 'engaged well-being at work' (EWB). To what extent changes in measures of this construct are responsive to changes in job demands and resources or associated with changes in job-related attitudes has not been established. Methods: Longitudinal employee-level data from three waves (German Linked Personnel Panel) were used. Logistic and linear fixed effects regression analyses explored longitudinal associations between changes in EWB for participants over a three-year period with changes in job demands and resources and job-related attitudes (job commitment, satisfaction, and turnover intentions). Results: While job resources were associated with increased odds for a change into a healthier and/or more engaged category of EWB, job demands reduced them. Job resources were more strongly related to higher EWB (ORrange = 1.22 - 1.61) than job demands (ORrange = 0.79 - 0.96). Especially psychological job demands showed negative associations with improved EWB (OR = 0.79). A change from the least desirable category 'disengaged strain' to any other category of EWB was associated with greater odds by up to 20.6 % for increased commitment and job satisfaction and lower odds for turnover intentions. Discussion: Improving work characteristics, especially job resources, could increase employees' EWB, emphasizing the importance of job characteristics for a healthy workplace. Because EWB seems to be associated with job attitudes, an improvement of this indicator would be relevant for employees and employers.

  • Former studies dealing with combined effects caused by chemical compounds in the metabolically competent hepatoma cell line Hep G2 indicated that Hep G2 cells are useful and sensitive indicators for the identification of synergisms of promutagens, comutagens and antimutagens which are relevant in eukryontic (human) cells. In the present study we examined the modulation of DNA damages by the suspected antimutagens ascorbic acid, beta-carotene, alpha-naphthoflavone and beta-naphthoflavone in Hep G2 cells.(omitted)

  • Vector fields in three-space admit bundles of internal variables such as a Heisenberg algebra bundle. Information transmission along field lines of vector fields is described by a wave linked to the Schrodinger representation in the realm of time-frequency analysis. The preservation of local information causes geometric optics and a quantization scheme. A natural circle bundle models quantum information visualized by holographic methods. Features of this setting are applied to magnetic resonance imaging.

  • In this study, we introduce the adjoint curves of framed curves. We examine some characterizations of adjoint curve of a framed curve. In addition, we give the conditions for framed curves and adjoint curves to be Bertrand and Mannheim curves. Then, we introduce adjoint curves of Frenet-type framed curves and give ruled surfaces related to adjoint curves. Finally, we create normal and binormal surfaces of the framed adjoint curves and obtain some characterizations of these surfaces and we support by the results with figures.

  • The primary purpose of this paper is to critically examine the theoretical and methodological issues in the study of generations. The issues include: 1) the concept of generation: 2) the basis of generational formation: 3) internal differentiation of generations: 4) the boundary problems of generations: 4) the boundary problems of generations: and 5) generational differences and generational conflict. From the investigation of these issues, two conclusions are drawn. Firstly, Mannheim's basic concepts and theoretical frameworks are very useful to understand and explain the social movements and sociocultural changes. Secondly, however, further elaboration and modification of the several concepts and frameworks are needed to deal with the problems of generations in general which are not directly connected to social movements. Several points are suggested to elaborate Mannheim's frameworks, which include the reconceptualization of generation, and introducing the concepts of “generation sects” and “manifest-latent generational conflicts”.
