Employees manage work and nonwork boundaries, or socially constructed lines of demarcation, in different ways due to their preferences and ability to do so. When an individual's integration-segmentation boundary enactment matches their boundary preference, they possess greater boundary fit. We examined the impact of work and nonwork boundary fit on subjective well-being, mediated by work and nonwork satisfaction. Results from a three-wave study confirmed positive direct effects for work/nonwork boundary fit on role satisfaction and role satisfaction on subjective well-being. We also found significant mediation effects for role satisfaction between work/nonwork boundary fit and subjective well-being. Overall, work boundary fit had stronger direct and indirect effects than nonwork boundary fit. This research helps clarify theoretical distinctions among work-nonwork fit constructs and extends the boundary fit literature through an atomistic fit perspective. Future research could consider examining boundary fit through cross-lagged panel designs and response surface modelling, as well as extending our model to examine nuanced aspects of boundary fit (e.g., physical, temporal, cognitive) and its relationship with additional outcomes (e.g., performance, burnout) and contextual factors (e.g., part-time vs. full-time employment, frontline vs. office-based employment).

Introduction: Stress shielding remains a concern following total shoulder arthroplasty using press-fit short humeral stems. While the effect of alterations in implant geometry, positioning, and sizing on stress shielding have been investigated, the effects of coverage of the cortical boundary of the resection plane have not yet been fully explored. The purpose of this study was to quantify the effect of improved cortical coverage using elliptical vs.

Drawing on the framework of social exchange theory and supply-value fit theory, this research developed and tested a moderated mediation model centered on green satisfaction, which explicates how and when green psychological climate affects voluntary workplace green behavior (VWGB). The analyses of two-wave data obtained from 255 Chinese employees provided support for the research hypotheses. Specifically, green psychological climate positively influences employee VWGB by promoting their green satisfaction.

Applications of Deep Neural Networks with Fractal Structure and Attention Blocks for 2D and 3D Brain Tumor Segmentation.

J Stat Theory Pract

September 2024

Statistics Online Computational Resource, University of Michigan, 426 North Ingalls Str, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109-2003.

In this paper, we propose a novel deep neural network (DNN) architecture with fractal structure and attention blocks. The new method is tested to identify and segment 2D and 3D brain tumor masks in normal and pathological neuroimaging data. To circumvent the problem of limited 3D volumetric datasets with raw and ground truth tumor masks, we utilized data augmentation using affine transformations to significantly expand the training data prior to estimating the network model parameters.

For people with mental and somatic illnesses, the interpretive process of attending to a multitude of bodily sensations and recognising them as potential symptoms represents daily and 'chronic homework'. Based on 16 months of ethnographic fieldwork in Denmark, this study explores diagnostic work and healthcare seeking among people with severe mental and somatic illnesses. As multiple studies have shown, the transformation process for a perceived sensation to become a symptom is a socially constructed interpretative process highly dependent on social legitimisation and shaped by prior cultural knowledge.
