A Systematic Analysis of how Practitioners Articulate Business Models across Disruptive Industries

The phenomenon of “disruptive innovation” is frequently discussed amongst scholars and business practitioners alike. Recent discussions especially have acknowledged the crucial role of business models for spurring disruptive dynamics (Christensen et al., 2018; Cozzolino et al., 2018). Anchored in conceptual statements from Christensen (2006) and Markides (2006), the essential inducer of disruptive processes is argued to lie in business model innovation.

Strong light-matter interaction and its consequences on molecular photophysics

Strong light-maer interaction oers the possibility to modify chemical and physical properties of molecules by modifying their photonic environment, resulting in the creation of hybrid light-maer states, known as polaritons. e eld of polaritonic chemistry usingmicrouidic cavities is in its infancy, and developing methods to increase the coupling strength are necessary to maximise the eects of polaritonic states. Moreover, exploring the eect of strong coupling on photophysical properties is necessary. is thesis covers the design, characterisation and modeling of strongly coupled systems, with the aim of studying photophysical properties and developing methods to increase the total coupling strength between light and maer. Using FT-IR spectroscopy and numerical modeling, an increase of 50% of the coupling strength is reported by aligning the molecular transition dipole moment inside a cavity. Additionally, another method is introduced using articial plasmonic molecules which increases the coupling strength of a nitrile absorption band by almost an order of magnitude. Furthermore, this thesis shows that upscaling microuidic cavities is possible without aecting the coupling strength. Finally, selective manipulation of excited states in the strong coupling regime are demonstrated. is dissertation is an exploratory study of several aspects of strong light-maer coupling paving the way to a new chemistry, and new approaches in material sciences.
Board Risk Oversight and Environmental and Social Responsibility

Risk oversight has emerged as an important responsibility of corporate boards. At the same time, firms are increasingly recognizing the risks that social and environmental issues pose to investors and stakeholders. In this study, we examine the relation between board risk oversight and firms’ environmental and social (E&S) ratings. Using proprietary data on the board risk oversight practices of firms from 29 countries, we show that firms with more robust risk oversight have higher E&S ratings, are more likely to integrate E&S issues into their strategies and executive compensation contracts, and ultimately experience better E&S outcomes.
The role of domestic factors on the failed transition to democracy in Egypt

This paper focuses on the roles of the domestic factors on the failed transition to democracy in Egypt. Domestic factors had an important impact on the authoritarian regime and established order in Egypt. The defenders of the established order had gotten much income from the authoritarian regime, yet many people had gotten less income from the state. Therefore, contrary to popular belief, the internal dynamics in Egypt Arab Spring served not to change the balances in the Middle East, but to the continuation of the institutional order (the established order). The domestic factors such as social, political, and economic factors were the reasons for the uprising. The former regime supporters regained power by the military coup d’etat with financial and political support from global actors.
Causes of Neonatal Death in Ayder Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Ethiopia

Background: The first 28 days of life are the most sensitive time regarding a child’s survival and health. Neonatal death accounts for a major part of under-five deaths, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. In this regard, the present study aimed to identify the causes of neonatal deaths in Ayder Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Tigray, Ethiopia.Methods: The present institution-based descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on neonates admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit of Ayder Comprehensive Specialized Hospital from June 2018 to May 2019. The required data were extracted from the medical charts of the patients during admission and discharge and their death certificates. The collected data were analyzed in SPSS software (version 23) using descriptive statistics to describe the prevalence and causes of neonatal deaths. The final results were summarized using frequencies and proportions.Results: In total, 1785 neonates were admitted during the study period and 1388 (77.8%), 99 (5.5%), and 298 (167 per 1000 live births) of them were treated and discharged, discharged against medical advice, and died, respectively. The causes of 139 (46.6%), 72 (24.2%), 63 (21.1%), and 22 (7.4%) neonatal deaths in the hospital were prematurity- related complications, neonatal sepsis, perinatal asphyxia, and congenital anomalies, respectively. The highest mortality rate was observed in neonates with respiratory distress syndrome since 89 out of 127 (70.8%) afflicted neonates died. Moreover, the second-highest mortality rate was found in newborns with perinatal asphyxia as 63 out of 174 (36.2%) afflicted newborns died. Furthermore, it was found that almost all deaths (98.3%) occurred during the first seven days after birth.Conclusion: Based on the results, it can be concluded that the neonatal mortality rate was substantially high among the studied neonates. Moreover, the case fatality rate of respiratory distress syndrome was alarmingly high. Therefore, all the people who are in charge must devote a considerable effort to improve the health care delivered to neonates.
Effect of poly(ethylene glycol) on drug delivery, antibacterial, biocompatible, physico-chemical and thermo-mechanical properties of PCL-chloramphenicol electrospun nanofiber scaffolds

Abstract The present study investigates the effect of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) addition on physico-chemical, thermo-mechanical, drug release, antibacterial and biocompatible properties of poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL)-chloramphenicol (CAP) electrospun nanofiber scaffolds. Incorporation of PEG imparted enhanced hydrophilicity, crystallinity, glass transition temperature and cell growth ability and reduced cytotoxicity in PCL. In vitro drug release studies reveal that PEG addition in PCL-CAP facilitated well-defined release kinetics and the release profiles follow the Ritger–Peppas and Korsmeyer–Peppas model. The drug-loaded scaffolds showed antibacterial properties against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains. Further, addition of PEG significantly improved the biocompatibility of the PCL-CAP scaffolds. Graphical Abstract
Gender Differences in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis: Are Men and Women Equal?

Background: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is characterized by a male predominance. The aim of the study was to explore gender differences in a well-designed French multicentre prospective IPF cohort (COhorte FIbrose, COFI) with a 5-year follow-up. Methods: Between 2007 and 2010, 236 patients with incident IPF were included in COFI. Gender characteristics were compared using a t-test, Chi-squared test and ANOVA, as appropriate. Survival analyses were performed. Results: Fifty-one (22%) females and 185 (78%) males with an average age at diagnosis of 70.1 ± 9.20 and 67.4 ± 10.9 years, respectively, were included in the cohort. Women were significantly less exposed to tobacco smoke [never n = 32 (62.7%) vs. n = 39 (21.1%), p < 0.001] and to occupational exposure [n = 7 (13.7%) vs. n = 63 (34.1%), p = 0.012]. Baseline forced vital capacity, % of predicted (FVC%) was significantly better in women compare to men (83.0% ± 25.0 v. 75.4% ± 18.7 p = 0.046). At presentation honeycombing and emphysema on CT scan were less common in women [n = 40 (78.4%) vs. n = 167 (90.3%) p = 0.041] and [n = 6 (11.8%) vs. n = 48 (25.9%) p = 0.029], respectively. During follow-up fewer women were transplanted compared to men [n = 1 (1.96%) vs. n = 20 (10.8%) p = 0.039]. Medians of survival were comparable by gender [31 months (CI 95%: 28–40) vs. 40 months (CI 95%: 33–72) p = 0.2]. After adjusting for age and FVC at inclusion, being a woman was not associated to a better survival. Conclusions: Women appear to have less advanced disease at diagnosis, maybe due to less exposure history compare to men. Disease progression and overall survival remains comparable regardless gender, but women have less access to lung transplantation.
The structure and properties of viscoelastic polyurethane foams with fillers from coffee grounds

The subject of the research presented in this article are viscoelastic polyurethane foams (VPF) made using a fillers from coffee grounds. The foams were made with varying content of coffee fillers. Foams and fillers were characterized by means of techniques such as infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry and cone calorimeter. The changes in the microstructure of the foams were analyzed using a scanning electron microscope. Foam properties in the compression test was assessed. As a result, it was concluded that the use filler from coffee grounds causes a significant reduction in compression set of foams after compression by 75% and by 90% of the height of the samples. It was shown that these changes are caused by changes in the chemical structure of the macromolecules of these foams but also in their structure. After addition the filler, all foams have permanent deformations with a value below the permissible limit of 10%. Addition of 20% by mass of filler caused by a decrease in the rate of heat release and the rate of smoke release during foam combustion.
Risk Factors Associated With Hospital-Onset MRSA Proportion—National Healthcare Safety Network, 2017–2018

Background: Staphylococcus aureus is frequently implicated in healthcare-associated infections in the United States, and a substantial proportion of these infections are attributed to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Although MRSA infections have decreased in health care settings, accurate estimates of the rate of decline call for risk-adjusted methods for calculating the resistant proportion (%R), that is, the proportion of S. aureus resistant to cefoxitin or oxacillin. Risk-adjusted %R also enables more accurate interhospital comparisons and can serve as a quantitative guide and evaluation metric for prevention efforts. Methods: To develop a risk-adjusted %R for S. aureus, we analyzed the antimicrobial susceptibility test (AST) results for S. aureus isolates reported to the CDC NHSN Antimicrobial Resistance Option during 2017–2018. Isolates were reported for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), blood, lower respiratory tract (LRT), and urine. Isolates without cefoxitin and oxacillin test results, or from the facilities that had >10% missing test results were excluded. Test results were differentiated between those associated with community-onset and hospital-onset (HO) infections by defining the latter group as test results for isolates obtained 3 days or more after hospital admission. Logistic regression was used to evaluate the factors associated with oxacillin/cefoxitin resistance. Hospital, patient and isolate-level variables from NHSN annual survey and AR option were assessed as covariates. Variable entry into the models is based on significance level P < . 05. Results: Among 9,992 hospital-onset SA isolates from 9,019 patients in 315 facilities, 5,488 (54.9%) were MRSA. Logistic regression showed that a higher proportion of HO-MRSA was significantly associated with older age, female, particular sources of specimen (urine and LRT), and selected hospital characteristics: hospitals not serving as major teaching hospitals, hospitals with a higher proportion of MRSA among community-onset SA isolates, hospitals with lower percentage of beds in intensive care units, and hospitals outsourcing AST service (Table 1). Conclusions: HO-MRSA is independently associated with community burden of MRSA, older and female patient populations, and hospital teaching status and AST practices, which highlights the importance of public health engagement and regional collaborations to prevent MRSA. To provide a standardized MRSA proportion for public health surveillance, taking some of these factors into account in MRSA proportion standardization should be considered.

Glucose-Grafted Gum Arabic Modified Magnetic Nanoparticles: Preparation and Specific Interaction with Concanavalin A

Novel magnetic nanoparticles bearing glucose-grafted gum arabic were successfully synthesized by coupling maltose via reductive amination on gum arabic modified magnetic nanoparticles (GAMNP). By the analyses of FTIR and Raman spectra, the grafting of glucose on GAMNP was recognized. From the concentration change of maltose in solution, the amount of maltose coupled to GAMNP was estimated as 0.13 mmol/g. In comparison to GAMNP, the glucose-grafted GAMNP (G-GAMNP) significantly showed specific interaction with concanavalin A (Con A) with an association constant of about 1.26 × 109 M-1. Less particle aggregation was observed when the particle/Con A ratio was high, whereas a particle might be bound by more Con A molecules and hence led to the aggregation when the particle/Con A ratio was low. The amount of Con A adsorbed was significantly dependent on pH, and the maximum adsorption capacity appeared around pH 7. The decrease in adsorption amount in lower and higher pH regions might be due to the release of i.

Determination of triclocarban and triclosan in biosolid and soil samples by application of pressurized liquid extraction and liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry

A sensitive, rapid and reproducible analytical method for quantifying triclocarban (TCC) and triclosan (TCS) in biosolid and soil samples using pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) and ultraperformance liquid chromatography with triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS-MS) is developed and presented in this study. The analytes were ionized in a new combined ESI-APCI (ESCi) operating with negative ion mode. Recoveries of TCC and TCS from biosolids and soil samples ranged from 93% to 102%, and the method detection limits were both 0.05 ng/g (d.w.). The intra- and inter-day precision of the assay fell within acceptable ranges of 15%. The developed method was applied to evaluate the occurrence of these compounds at two wastewater treatment plants and five farms in Michigan. TCC and TCS analyzed were detected in three biosolids samples at high concentrations. TCC and TCS were found at a low or trace level of concentration in the five soil samples which had had biosolids applied to them. This indicates that antimicrobials might enter surface water and groundwater through runoff or infiltration where biosolids are used as fertilizer.

Exudation of organic anions by roots of cabbage, carrot, and potato as influenced by environmental factors and plant age

A previous study demonstrated that cabbage was P efficient compared to carrot and potato. However, calculating plant P uptake by a mechanistic simulation model based on P transport by diffusion and mass flow, P uptake of roots according to the Michaelis-Menten kinetics, and morphological root characteristics including root hairs, revealed that these parameters could explain only 2/5 of the total P uptake of cabbage, but 4/5 of that of carrot and potato (Dechassa et al., 2003). Therefore, it was hypothesized that a higher root exudation of organic anions may enhance P mobilization and hence P uptake of cabbage. The objective of this research was to determine root exudation of organic anions by the three species, and to investigate the influence of plant age and dark/light period on organic-anion exudation by cabbage. Experiments were conducted in a growth chamber in nutrient solution with or without P. Organic anions were determined in root exudates and in root tissue. With cabbage and potato, P deficiency induced exudation of citrate and succinate, respectively. Citrate-exudation rate of P-deficient cabbage plants was correlated with accumulation of citrate in root tissue. In contrast, high succinate-exudation rates in potato were not correlated with an increased concentration in root tissue. For carrot, no change was observed in the exudation of any of the organic anions in response to P deficiency. The results also showed that succinate- and citrate-exudation rates of cabbage roots increased with increased plant age. There was also a significant increase in exudation rates of organic anions of cabbage roots during the light period of the day. It was concluded that cabbage had the ability to exude large amounts of citrate in response to P deficiency by which it can additionally enhance its P-uptake efficiency, whereas carrot and potato showed little evidence of possessing such a mechanism.

Effects of Soil and Climatic Conditions on Grape Ripening and Wine Quality of Cabernet Sauvignon

The effects of climatic conditions and soil type on grape ripening and wine quality were studied for the period 2003–2005, in two Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards under the same climate but on very distinct soils. Climate effect was estimated by studying annual variations. Climatic conditions and soil had overall a significant effect on grape ripening. The effects of soil and climate could be explained mainly by their influence on plant water availability status. Soil type appeared to be determining wine phenolic composition, and related wine tasting characteristics.
