Explicit and Tacit Synergies between Alliance Firms and Radical Innovation: The Moderating Roles of Interfirm Technological Diversity and Environmental Technological Dynamism

This study draws on theories of organizational inertia and relational view to examine how the pursuit of partnership synergy influences radical innovation in different technological contexts. We differentiate between two types of synergy: explicit synergy, defined as the potential to exchange interfirm operational elements to renew processes or capabilities, and tacit synergy, conceptualized as the potential to synthesize cross-boundary resources to develop new perspectives or thinking modes. We find that both explicit and tacit synergy have positive impacts on radical innovation, and such impacts are contingent on interfirm technological diversity and environmental technological dynamism in opposing ways. Specifically, environmental technological dynamism positively moderates the relationship between explicit synergy and radical innovation but not the relationship between tacit synergy and radical innovation. In contrast, interfirm technological divers ity positively moderates the relationship between tacit synergy and radical innovation but not the relationship between explicit synergy and radical innovation. Our study sheds new light on the generation of radical innovation in alliances. It also provides practitioners with useful guidelines for crafting synergy strategies that will facilitate the pursuit of radical innovation.

A comparison of the social interactions in children with developmental disabilities and their typically developing peers

Children with disabilities are often placed in integrated classrooms to provide socialization with their peers. Past research has identified a disparity b€tween the number of interactions that occur between children with disabilities and typically developing children. The purpose ofthis study was to observe the q'tality ofthe social interactions that take place between children with developmental disabilities and their typically developing peers, in order to determine whether socialization and play pattems differ between the two groups. The participants for the study were recruited from kindergarten and second grade classrooms in which children with developmental disabilities are integrated into the regular education classroorn Each participant was observed during free time at school for two ffieen-minute sessions through non-participant observation. For each thirty second interval sanrpled, th€ type ofplay behavior that was observed during the first two seconds was recorded for each participant. The recordings were placed into one ofnine play bebavior categories consisting of interactive and noninteractive play. The mean number of intervals observed in each play category were determined to compare areas of interactive and non-interactive play behaviors for the children with developmental disabilities and the typically developing children. The results of this study indicate that children with developmental disabilities demonstrate more non-interactive play behaviors [ (4) = 3.44,9<. 05], including more solitary play [l@) = 3.22, p < . 05] than their typically developrng peers. The typically developing children were engaged in more interactive play [ (4) : -3.93, p < . 05] than the children with disabilities. It may be fiat children with developmental disabilities are less interactive because ofpeer rejection or delayed social skills. There is a need to firther examine play behaviors of individual children to determine what causes children with disabilities to play alone more fiequently. This research could also provide infonnation on how to design and implement effective social intervention programs for children with disabilities to aid in the development of their interpersonal skills and ability to play with
The Impact of Endometrial Hyperplasia without Atypia on In vitro Fertilization Outcome

Context: A role of endometrial hyperplasia in efficacy of assisted reproductive technology remains unclear as do involvement of local antioxidant defense system and vitamin D serum level. Aim: To determine whether endometrial hyperplasia without atypia impacts in vitro fertilization outcome as well as highlight a role of local antioxidant defense system and 25-hydroxicalciferol serum level as possible markers for ART efficacy in infertile women with endometrial hyperplasia. Setting and design: Two-stage observational non-interventional study with 2000 clinical cases analyzed during retrospective stage and 250 participants on prospective stage. Materials and methods: Pregnancy rate was assessed to determine an influence of endometrial hyperplasia without atypia on in vitro fertilization outcome. Local antioxidant defense level was registered by superoxide-dismutase activity detection and total antioxidant capacity measurement in endometrial tissue prior to embryo transplantation. 25-hydroxicalciferole serum concentration was determined by quantitative enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method. Statistical analysis used: We applied “Chi-square” criterion to comparatively assess in vitro fertilization outcome. The normality of the variance distribution was determined using one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), while Newman-Keuls criterion was used to intergroup assessment. Results: Pregnancy rate among women with endometrial hyperplasia without atypia undergone in vitro fertilization was lower than in control group largely due to results obtained in subgroup of women older than 40. Negative outcome associates with depletion of antioxidant system potency in hyperplastic endometrium and decrease of vitamin D serum level. Conclusion: Superoxide-dismutase activity in endometrial tissue and local total antioxidant capacity along with vitamin D serum level may be considered as potential biomarkers of fertilization outcome in endometrial hyperplasia without atypia.
OIL, ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION AND LIFE EXPECTANCY IN NIGERIA

This study used the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) bounds testing approach to cointegration to examine the dynamic relationship between environmental pollution and life expectancy in Nigeria over the period 1971 to 2014 incorporating the role of the oil sector. The ARDL estimates suggest that while oil export provides the revenue required to improve life expectancy in the country, it also generates economic conditions that accelerate environmental pollution in the country. The results show that the impact of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions on life expectancy in Nigeria is negative and stronger in the long run. To further the understanding of the impacts of oil production activities and CO2 emissions on life expectancy in Nigeria, gender differences in life expectancy were considered. The results highlight the urgent need for health policy measures in Nigeria to incorporate effective mitigation and adaptation strategies to reduce the impact of the increasing role of the oil sector on health condition, wellbeing of the people and the overall goal of improving life expectancy in Nigeria.
Enhancing the In-Role Behaviour and Organizational Citizenship Behaviours in the Workplace: A Multidimensional View for the Role of Ethical Climate

Non-ethical behavior is considered as one of the main reasons of distress any organization could be exposed to. The existence of un-ethical climates, within an organization, may result in several negative behaviors towards this organization and its members. Although previous studies asserted the role of ethical climate in both organizational and individual levels, limited studies considered the role of ethical climate from the multidimensional view. This is besides examining its impact on both the in-role and volunteer behaviours. Moreover, the inconsistency of the previous research findings recall the need to address these relations in different industries. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to investigate the role of ethical climate from a multi-dimensional view, i.e. testing the five dimensions of ethical climate ( Law and code, Rules, Instrumental, Independence and Caring) in predicting both the in-role behavior and organizational citizenship behaviors (organizational citizenship behaviors towards individuals and towards organizations). Based on the cross-sectional study, a survey data from faculty members were collected and analyzed using structure equation modeling. The findings suggested that ethical climate predicts both behaviors. It, also, revealed that the Independence and Rules dimensions are the most influencing climate dimensions in developing the in-role behavior whereas Caring, rules and Instrumental are positively related to the citizenship behaviors. This study is one of the limited studies that considered the role of ethical climate - from a multidimensional view- in predicting both organizational citizenship behaviors and in-role behavior. In addition, it is one of the earliest studies in the Arab region which tackles such a relationship.
Combination of topic modelling and deep learning techniques for disaster trends prediction

A natural disaster, even though its small, results in great human and environmental loss. If the disaster is predicted at the earlier stages, then it will be helpful for the people and the government for helping and coordinating with the rescue team. The media platform like Twitter is a valuable communication medium which allows the user to update about the condition and situation, which directly aware people in the affected area and helps rescue team to co-ordinate more effectively. This paper illustrates a recently developed approach which classifies various disaster and later predicts the trend from their severity level. This approach was previously applied in the field of mortality prediction and recommendation system. The framework consists of the integration of LDA for classification and LSTM (artificial recurrent neural network) for predicting the trends using the tweets. The proposed model is created considering the tweets and the weather data over a period. The model has predicted the accuracy of 80.5% with the neural network which is proved to better than any other machine learning techniques. This new combination of the latent topic information and the semantic information by the neural network shows great promise for improving the disaster management activities and forecasting the catastrophic trends.
Benefits and Risks of Clopidogrel vs. Aspirin Monotherapy after Recent Ischemic Stroke: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Aim Though combination of clopidogrel added to aspirin has been compared to aspirin alone in patients with stroke or transient ischemic attack, limited data exists on the relative efficacy and safety between clopidogrel and aspirin monotherapy in patients with a recent ischemic stroke. We aimed to compare clopidogrel versus aspirin monotherapy in this population. Methods PubMed, Embase, and CENTRAL databases were searched from inception to May 2018 to identify clinical trials and observational studies comparing clopidogrel versus aspirin for secondary prevention in patients with recent ischemic stroke within 12 months. Pooled effect estimates were calculated using a random effects model and were reported as risk ratios with 95% confidence intervals. Results Five studies meeting eligibility criteria were included in the analysis. A total of 29,357 adult patients who had recent ischemic stroke received either clopidogrel (n = 14, 293) or aspirin (n = 15, 064) for secondary prevention. Pairwise meta-analysis showed a statistically significant risk reduction in the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (risk ratio 0.72 [95% CI, 0.53–0.97]), any ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke (0.76 [0.58, 0.99), and recurrent ischemic stroke (0.72 [0.55, 0.94]) in patients who received clopidogrel versus aspirin. The risk of bleeding was also lower for clopidogrel versus aspirin (0.57 [0.45, 0.74]). There was no difference in the rate of all-cause mortality between the two groups. Conclusions The analysis showed lower risks of major adverse cardiovascular or cerebrovascular events, recurrent stroke, and bleeding events for clopidogrel monotherapy compared to aspirin. These findings support clinical benefit for single antiplatelet therapy with clopidogrel over aspirin for secondary prevention in patients with recent ischemic stroke.
Knowledge-driven Vaccine Systems Engineering

Current vaccine development approaches are ineffective in capturing, representing and reconciling domains and disciplines knowledge and viewpoints across the vaccine development life cycle. As a result, vaccine development is a long, complex, and costly process that often results (when it succeeds) in vaccines whose potency is hard to predict and efficacy expensive to preserve. State-of-the-art vaccine development approaches fail to (1) integrate the multiplicity of stakeholders perspectives across the Vaccine Development Life Cycle (VDLC), (2) bridge the knowledge gap between multiple disciplines, and (3) formally evaluate stochastic system behaviors of biological systems in a seamless manner. This paper introduces a novel semanticallyenabled framework for knowledge and behavior specification, modeling and processing in vaccine systems engineering. Data and semantic models of domains supported by sound theories and tightly coupled with Markov Chain models of biological systems are the cornerstone of our solution. Near future work includes optimal vaccine matrix design and experimental vaccine preservation systems. Looking ahead, the capabilities of the framework – demonstrated in a vaccine preservation study – will enable more effective, cheaper and faster time-to-market vaccines.

Who are the big-spending beachgoers and what is important for them?

Orientation: Beaches attract millions of visitors every year and this has an impact not only on the economy, the environment and the local community but also on current and future beachgoers. Research purpose: The aim of the article is to use expenditure-based segmentation to gain a greater understanding of beach visitor spending in order to identify different markets and the aspects they deem important. Motivation for the study: Although South Africa has a coastline of approximately 3900 km, little is known about the beachgoer to these beaches. This article contributes to the quantification of the economic benefits stemming from beach tourism and in understanding the factors that drive beach visitation. Research approach/design and method: During 2017/18, beachgoers to eight beaches in South Africa were surveyed and 1138 questionnaires were gathered. Using cluster analysis, four segments of beachgoers were identified. The differences between the various segments were explored by using analysis of variance and Pearson’s chi-square. Main findings: The high-spending markets can be distinguished by language, level of education and age, while sunbathing and relaxation are key beach activities. Six key motives for visiting beaches were identified. High-spending markets tend to visit Blue Flag beaches that offer good bathing conditions. Practical/managerial implications: This research identified four segments of visitors to South African beaches, ranging from low-spending locals to high-spending mixed market beachgoers. There are distinct differences between the segments, but important to all segments are the environment qualities of the beach in terms of both cleanliness and beach safety. Contribution/value-add: The research, therefore, concludes that two the main threats to beach tourism and destinations are (1) pollution of the oceans and (2) global warming.
Weight Distributions of a Class of Linear Codes*

Linear codes with a few weights have many applications in secret sharing schemes, authentication codes, association schemes and strongly regular graphs, and they are also of importance in consumer electronics, communications and data storage systems. In this literature, based on the theory of defining sets, we present a class of five-weight linear codes over $\mathbb{F}_p$ (p is an odd prime). Then, we use exponential sums to determine its weight distributions.
FIRST MOLECULAR CHARACTERIZATION OF THE PARTIAL COAT PROTEIN AND 3’UTR GENES RELATED TO DASHEEN MOSAIC VIRUS ON FLAMINGO FLOWERS (ANTHURIUM SPECIES) IN THE MEDITERRANEAN COAST OF TURKEY

Observations were carried out on Anthurium sp growing at Mediterranean region (Adana, Mersin and Antalya provinces) of Turkey in 2015-2017. During the studies virus-like symptoms in plants; systemic chlorotic mosaic and irregular uniformity on leaf and petals were recognized. Eleven of 73 samples showed positive response with the Potyvirus group specific antibodies and their results were also confirmed by RT-PCR. The 327 bp products via using the Potyvirus-specific primers, MJ1 and MJ2 were run in 1.5% agarose gel. Further amplifications were made with the 3’UTR and 3’end of the coat protein of the viral genome. RT-PCR analysis using the primer MJ1 and M4T resulted in an amplification of 719 bp amplicon. Direct sequencing of RT-PCR products and BLAST results have showed that there were two clades between 96-99% among the Mediterranean coast DsMV isolates. The data are available in Genebank with accession Number MK758088/Antalya; MK758087/Yenice). DsMV infection on Anthurium sp, was determined serologically and molecularly. To our knowledge, this is the first molecular record describing the occurrence, distribution and genome organisation of DsMV isolates that have been infecting Flamingo flowers at the Mediterranean coast of Turkey. Findings may have shown an evidence about uncontrolled distribution from Northern corner to Southern side.
The prescribing and use of pocket and portable electronic low vision aids for patients with visual impairment

Pocket and portable electronic low vision aids (PELVAs) are relatively new devices designed to enhance vision of people with visual impairment. Therefore, the aim of this thesis was to evaluate their use and prescribing patterns for PELVAs for patients with visual impairment and to inform clinicians of the functions or attributes that are most important when considering their prescription. Firstly, the parameters (including magnification screen size, luminance contrast, and resolution) of PELVAs were assessed. Magnification and screen size were also compared with the manufacturers’ data. Secondly, data (age, gender, ocular condition, visual acuity, living situation, registration of visual impairment, type of low vision aid prescribed) from 6,668 patients who attended the Low Vision Service for Wales were analyzed to assess the clinicians’ prescribing patterns for PELVAs. Thirdly, reading frequency and duration, and self-reported effectiveness of PELVAs and optical low vision aids for patients with visual impairment were evaluated by using a telephone interview based upon the Manchester Low Vision Questionnaire. Finally, reading speed was measured for normally sighted subjects with simulated visual impairment who used a PELVA and an optical low vision aid. The factors that could predict reading speed were investigated. PELVAs enhanced the luminance contrast of high and low contrast letters which may be beneficial for patients with contrast reduction, for example due to cataracts. Variations were found between reported and measured magnification of the PELVA. Only 10% of adult patients were prescribed a PELVA, and younger males were more likely to use them. A larger proportion of children (36.5%) were prescribed a PELVA. Patients who used PELVAs rated them highly for near vision tasks and were more likely to use PELVAs for reading once a day but for a long duration, whereas optical low vision aids were used more frequently and for a shorter duration. It was found that the reading speed was significantly improved using PELVA and optical low vision for subjects with simulated visual impairment; Bailey-Lovie near visual acuity, high and low contrast Colenbarnder near visual acuity, and number of visible characters were significant predictors of reading speed.
An evaluation of knowledge, attitude and perception about adverse drug reactions and pharmacovigilance among intern doctors at a teaching hospital of Rajasthan -

Background: Underreporting of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) by clinician is a common problem. As interns will be budding doctors to serve the community, this study was undertaken to evaluate knowledge, attitude and perception about ADR and pharmacovigilance in them. Aims and Objective: To assess knowledge, attitude and perceptions of interns about ADR and pharmacovigilance program and find out possible ways of improving spontaneous reporting. Materials and Methods: A cross-section questionnaire-based study was conducted after approval by ethics committee. Pretested and validated questions consisting of 20 questions (knowledge 12, attitude 4, and perception 4) were administered to 68 interns. The filled questionnaires were collected and analyzed on Microsoft Excel sheet. Result: All interns were well aware of term â€œpharmacovigilance. â€ They have an idea to where they should report ADR and about the nearest AMC center but only 3.33% were able to differentiate adverse effect and adverse event. Only 27.94% of the interns were revealing clear knowledge about who could report and types of the ADR to be reported at adverse drug monitoring center. Nobody was able to explain â€œrechallengeâ€ or â€œdechallengeâ€ in reference to ADRs 100% correctly. Majority of interns (85.29%) had not reported even single case of ADR till date. Poor reporting among interns were because of various reasons, which were busy in preparing postgraduate entrance examination (51.47%), problems in communicating patients (22.06%), inadequate training (22.06%), unavailability ADR form (4.41%), and overload of work (1.47%). Majority of interns (73.52%) were comfortable in ADR reporting by means of telephone. Of 68 interns, 48 (70.59%) supported that ADR reporting exercises should be taught in pharmacology practical classes. Conclusion: The deficit in ADR reporting can be resolved if we adequately train our undergraduates regarding ADR reporting system, how to report, importance of reporting, and their obligation to report.
Efficacy of Beauveria bassiana and Isaria fumosorosea against Eublemma amabilis (Noctuidae: Lepidoptera): A predator of lac insect, Kerria lacca (Kerr)

An experiment was conducted to determine the effect of Isaria and Beauveria on larva and pupa of E. amabilis. Beauveria bassiana and Isaria fumosorosea are entomopathogenic fungi used as biological control agents for E. amabilis. Both have been used as mycoinsecticides providing a good biological alternatives to conventional methods. The Isaria was found to have a mortality factor of 80% after 3 days of treatment and Beauveria showing 40% mortality factor. Similarly, Isaria was proved to be effective on pupal stages of E. amabilis showing 70% mortality factor followed by Beauveria with the relatively low mortality factor of 30%. More studies would be necessary to help identify interactions between microbes and natural enemies to increase and enhance opportunities and further develop biological pest control programs.
