A Snapshot; Job Attitudes Within the HR Profession
The purpose of this project was to analyze job attitudes, specifically in the Human Resources (HR) department, using two samples. Sample 1 is comprised of HR employees in an organization located in Houston, Texas. This organization wanted to establish a baseline regarding how HR employees felt about working there. Sample 2 included a broader sample of HR professionals from various organizations, recruited through LinkedIn, who were asked to complete a survey that focused on the areas of interest. Participants in both samples reported their levels of turnover intention, job satisfaction, departmental commitment, distributive justice, perceived coworker support, and perceived supervisor support. Ultimately, results found significant relationships between all variables and turnover intention. Job satisfaction was strongly, negatively predictive of turnover intention, and departmental affective commitment was moderately, negatively predictive of turnover intention. This paper will discuss these areas of focus in depth from a theoretical viewpoint before outlining the results of the surveys from both groups.

The Effect of Surface Plasmon Resonance on Bacteria Morphology
Cells are known to be affected significantly due to persistent exposure to electro- magnetic radiation. DNA can be damaged by electromagnetic waves in several ways that may lead to genetic changes. Cellular multiplication plays an important role in the survival of life. This multiplication involves a strand of DNA going through several steps which include proofreading mechanisms to protect DNA from damages. These repair mechanisms range from specific ”locate and repair” systems to ”damage tolerance” repairs. With many damage events per cell per day the errors that do make it through the repair process are seen as mutations to the genetic code and may be expressed as changes in morphology. Application of the Jaynes-Cummings model may help to understand these processes in more detail. The interaction of DNA with radiation is studied as an interaction of matter with electromagnetic waves. Through this investigation, the physically expressed response of bacteria exposed to surface plasmons is explored. This approach is used to measure the changes in morphology which may be associated with the interaction of DNA with surface plasmons. Af- ter exposure to weak magnetic fields, both the exposed group and the control group expressed similar changes in bacteria size. These results suggest surface plasmons produced in gold may have a larger effect on living organisms than those generated in steel
