MEASURING THE DEGREE OF INNOVATION IN MICRO AND SMALL ENTERPRISES IN THE NORTHEAST OF BRAZIL

The companies don’t operate in total isolation from the environment in which they are inserted. The environment at the same time as it is influenced by the organizations, in the performance and the performance of its origins, especially with regard to the practice of innovation. Small and medium-sized enterprises are the engine of economic development, especially in developing countries such as Brazil. Accordingly, the main objective of this research was to present and test a research model of innovation in Micro and Small Enterprises (MSE) proposed by Walter, Veloso and Fernandes (2017) to analyze: (1) the degree of innovation of Micro and Small Enterprises and (2) how the innovation is presented in the Micro and Small Enterprises as a result of its business environments. For this the study was based on a sample of 617 MSE distributed in 6 cities of the State of Piauí. The data were collected through the application of the Innovation Radar. Statistical techniques of descriptive, exploratory and inferential nature were used. The results showed that MSE have innovation capacity between "Little Innovative" and "Occasional Innovative”, due to the greater expressiveness of organizations and marketing innovations, and that the average and the distribution of innovation are the same among MSE analyzed.
Do Anglo-Saxons Affect Corporate Policies?

Individuals with an Anglo-Saxon cultural background are customarily considered to be less risk-averse than other individuals. The validity of this assumption appears to be borne out in the world of corporate finance. We investigate the risk-related corporate decisions of the board of directors, CEOs, and shareholders of Anglo-Saxon cultural heritage at Swiss listed corporations. Using a sample of 1’556 firm-year observations from 2005 to 2015 and performing fixed effects, random effects, and pooled regressions controlling for various firm and corporate governance characteristics, we find empirical evidence supporting our three hypotheses: Anglo-Saxons increase leverage, decrease dividend payments, and conduct more mergers and acquisitions. Furthermore, we show that while boards of directors affect capital structure and dividend policies, CEOs drive takeovers. Additionally, firm characteristics are important determinants of Anglo-Saxons in the corporate governance of Swiss firms and CEOs are more likely to be Anglo-Saxons in the presence of Anglo-Saxon directors and shareholders.

Xiaolei Hu Hengyan Zhang Langen Zhuang Guoxi Jin 1 Qingqing Yang Min Li Weihua Sun Fengling Chen 1Department of Endocrinology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical College, Bengbu, Anhui 233004, People’s Republic of China; 2Department of Endocrinology, Shanghai Ninth People’s Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, Shanghai 200011, People’s Republic of China Background: Ubiquitin-fold modifier-1 (Ufm1) is a recently identified ubiquitin-like protein. We previously confirmed that Ufm1 expression was increased in diabetic mice. However, its role in the development of diabetes remains undefined. Methods: Lentivirus-mediated gene knockdown and overexpression techniques were used to observe the effect of Ufm1 on the expression of inflammatory factors, adhesion molecules and chemokines, as well as the transcriptional activity of nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) in macrophages. Western blot and immunofluorescence analyses were used to analyse the mechanism by which Ufm1 affects the transcriptional activity of NF-κB. Finally, the effects of Ufm1 on inflammation and pancreatic, renal and myocardial damage were observed in db/db mice. Results: Knockdown of Ufm1 by lentivirus shRNA targeting Ufm1 (Lv-shUfm1) led to decreased secretion of IL-6, IL-1β, ICAM-1, VCAM-1, MCP-1 and CXCL2 in RAW264.7 cells that were exposed to LPS and TNF-α, while lentiviral overexpression of Ufm1 (Lv-Ufm1) caused the opposite effect. Interestingly, further investigation indicated that Ufm1 induced NF-κB p65 nuclear translocation in RAW264.7 cells via increasing the ubiquitination and degradation of IκBα. In an in vivo experiment, pretreatment of db/db mice with Lv-shUfm1 reduced the mRNA levels of TNF-α, IL6, IL-1β, ICAM-1, VCAM-1, MCP-1 and CXCL2 in resident peritoneal macrophages (RPMs) and decreased the plasma levels of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β, ICAM-1, VCAM-1, MCP-1 and CXCL2. Additionally, in Lv-Ufm1-treated mice, the inverse results were observed. Following treatment with Lv-shUfm1 and Lv-Ufm1, NF-κB p65 nuclear translocation in RPMs was decreased and increased, respectively. Importantly, we observed that Lv-shUfm1 injection led to a decrease in plasma glycaemia, a reduction in urinary albuminuria and cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and an improvement in the histopathological appearance of pancreatic, kidney and myocardial tissue. Pretreatment of the mice with Lv-shUfm1 inhibited macrophage infiltration in the pancreas, kidney and myocardial tissue. Conclusion: Our data elucidate a new biological function of Ufm1 that mediates inflammatory responses. Ufm1-mediated p65 nuclear translocation occurs by modulating the ubiquitination and degradation of IκBα. Moreover, downregulating Ufm1 is an effective strategy to prevent the development of type 2 diabetes and its complications.

Belén Alfonso-Bartolozzi Eva Villota Álvaro Fernández-VegaGonzález Luis Fernández-Vega-Cueto 1 Álvaro Fernández-Vega José F Alfonso 1,2 1Fernández-Vega Ophthalmological Institute, Oviedo, Spain; 2Surgery Department, School of Medicine, University of Oviedo, Oviedo, Spain Purpose: To assess visual outcomes in high myopic eyes with nasal-inferior staphyloma implanted with a pseudophakic trifocal intraocular lens (IOL). Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the visual outcomes of 50 eyes of 45 patients who had cataract surgery after AT LISA trifocal IOL implantation. Twenty-five eyes diagnosed with posterior staphyloma (nasal-inferior, type IV and V), and 25 eyes as long eyes. Uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) and corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) values were used to assess the efficacy and safety of the surgery. Refraction and defocus curves were also evaluated at 6 months. Results: No intraor post-operative problems occurred during the 6 months of follow-up. After the surgery, the mean Snellen decimal UDVA ranged from 0.50 to 1.00, and CDVA from 0.60 to 1.00 for both groups. CDVA was 0.91 and 0.74 for the long eye and nasalinferior staphyloma groups, respectively. Efficacy and safety indexes were 1.22 and 1.32 for the long eye, and 1.26 and 1.43 for the nasal-inferior staphyloma group, respectively. All eyes of both groups showed a postoperative spherical equivalent within ±1.00D. The long eye group showed the highest percentage of spherical equivalent between −0.13D and +0.13D (56%) and the nasal-inferior staphyloma group was between −0.51D and −0.14D (40%). Conclusion: The outcomes of the present study show that a trifocal IOL provides good visual acuity in high myopic eyes, being worse for nasal-inferior staphyloma eyes. The degree of tilt of the macular plane is related with the expected visual acuity.
Diet composition of Indian flying fox (Pteropus giganteus) in Kathmandu valley

The composition of diet reflects the food availability and food preference by wildlife in their respective habitat. Flying fox (Pteropus giganteus) is the largest bat species that inhabit the urban area of Kathmandu Valley. The diet composition of Flying fox and their conservation threat was studied from January to April 2018. Bats roosting at Kesharmahal, Kathmandu and Sallaghari, Bhaktapur were selected for the study. The diet consumed was explored by micro-histological analysis from fresh fecal samples (guano) and bolus collected from the roost site. The samples were collected by spreading plastic sheets of 2m × 2m for a whole day. The droppings from bats were collected on 50 mL vials with 70% alcohol. Altogether 140 samples were collected. The collected droppings were used to micro histological slides where the seeds were isolated and identified using a hand lens. The pollens presence in slides were observed under the compound microscope and tallied with the reference slides for identification. Altogether 17 and 10 different plant families were identified from dropping of bats from Kesharmahal and Sallaghari, respectively. Among them, Moraceae and Myrtaceae were common diets in bats of both locations. Our result shows P. giganteus consumes food from the Myrtaceae, Brassicaceae, Malvaceae, Apiaceae, Pinaceae, Fagaceae, Proteaceae and Anacardiaceae families in Kathmandu Valley. P. giganteus mostly depend on foods present nearby the roost and also flies far away in search of food, which is comparatively minimal.
Supplementary material to "Impact of increased resolution on long-standing biases in HighResMIP-PRIMAVERA climate models"

Abstract. We examine the impacts of increased resolution on four long-standing biases using five different climate models developed within the PRIMAVERA project. Atmospheric resolution is increased from ~100–200 km to ~25–50 km, and ocean resolution is increased from ~1° (i.e., eddy-parametrized) to ~0.25° (i.e., eddy-present). For one model, ocean resolution is also increased to 1/12° (i.e., eddy-rich). Fully-coupled general circulation models and their atmosphere-only versions are compared with observations and reanalysis of near-surface temperature, precipitation, cloud cover, net cloud radiative effect, and zonal wind over the period 1980–2014. Both the ensemble mean and individual models are analyzed. Increased resolution especially in the atmosphere helps reduce the surface warm bias over the tropical upwelling regions in the coupled models, with further improvements in the cloud cover and precipitation biases particularly over the tropical South Atlantic. Related to this and to the improvement in the precipitation distribution over the western tropical Pacific, the double Intertropical Convergence Zone bias also weakens with resolution. Overall, increased ocean resolution from ~1° to ~0.25° offers limited improvements or even bias degradation in some models, although an eddy-rich ocean resolution seems beneficial for reducing the biases in North Atlantic temperatures and Gulf Stream path. Despite the improvements, however, large biases in precipitation and cloud cover persist over the whole tropics as well as in the upper-troposphere zonal winds at mid-latitudes in coupled and atmosphere-only models at higher resolutions. The Southern Ocean warm bias also worsens or persists in some coupled models. And a new warm bias emerges in the Labrador Sea in all the high-resolution coupled models. The analysis of the PRIMAVERA models therefore suggests that, to reduce biases, i) increased atmosphere resolution up to ~25–50 km alone might not be sufficient and ii) an eddy-rich ocean resolution might be needed. The study thus adds to evidence that further improved model physics and tuning might be necessary in addition to increased resolution to mitigate biases.
Tanulmány Amani Mejri The interpretation of English reflexive and non-reflexive pronouns by Tunisian students

This study addresses English anaphor interpretation by Tunisian high school students. Along with seeking to obtain a preliminary view on this specific issue of second language acquisition, this pilot study equally aims at exploring possible similarities and differences in the interpretation of pronouns between Tunisian-Arabic native speakers and English speakers in previous child language acquisition studies. Notably, this study aims at examining whether Tunisian speakers are accurate in the interpretation of reflexives and whether they face any issues in pronoun interpretation. In a questionnaire elaborated in line with these motives, 24 Tunisian high school students interpreted some constructions including reflexive and non-reflexive pronouns. Their performance on the English pronominals, introduced within some constructions such as PNPs and PPs, showed some variation patterns when interpreting pronouns and reflexives as well. It was recorded that their pronoun interpretation in this pilot study was similar to L1 speakers, given that the Tunisian participants were accurate to some extent in their interpretation of reflexives and less accurate with pronouns. However, their pronoun interpretation, marked by its variation, could not be indicative of their grammatical competence as it is an introductory schema of the way they approach reflexives and non-reflexives. The pronominal difference between the two researched languages is underscored. Yet attributing the participants’ pronoun interpretation to this pronominal difference could not be maintained, as it is not confirmed through this pilot study.
Leadership succession: a necessary reflection for the future of nursing

Received on: 09/04/2018. Accepted on: 09/10/2018. Available on: 12/31/2019. ABSTRACT A theoretical article whose purpose was to present a reflection on planning of leadership succession in nursing, highlighting its conceptual bases and challenges to the creation of new leaderships in academic contexts and healthcare organizations. Two key points were defined for this discussion: “Leadership succession in nursing: the fundamentals, strategies, and evidence of its benefits”; and “The essential elements in planning the creation of new nursing leadership”. The planning of leadership succession in nursing can help both training institutions and health organizations to develop the skills and competencies of nurses so they can take over management positions. This planning must consider the history and perspective of young people and those of people who have more experience so that the care provided achieves greater quality. This study encourages nursing leaders, nurses, professors and undergraduate students to learn succession planning as a strategy to ensure achievements in the profession and help build their future.
Low-frequency electrical conductivity of aqueous kaolinite suspensions: surface conductance, electrokinetic potentials and counterion mobility

Abstract The low-frequency conductivity of aqueous kaolinite suspensions has beenmeasured as a function of volume fraction and concentration of KCl, K2SO4 and BaCl2, respectively. Thesemeasurements were interpretedwith a theoreticalmodel accounting for surface conductivity and particle shape. For the first time, an internally consistent data set was established by measuring all parameters necessary to solve the relevant equations. The simultaneous availability of surface conductivity, surface charge density and diffuse layer charge density permitted the estimation of counterionmobilities in the stagnant layer and a consistency check for the evaluation procedure of the conductivity experiments. In agreement with current literature results, monovalent counterions were found to have a Stern layer mobility similar to their bulk mobility, whereas the mobility of divalent counterions in this layer is reduced by a factor of ~2.
PII: S0360-1285(00)00009-5

The generation by combustion processes of airborne species of current health concern such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and soot particles necessitates a detailed understanding of chemical reaction pathways responsible for their formation. The present review discusses a general scheme of PAH formation and sequential growth of PAH by reactions with stable and radical species, including single-ring aromatics, other PAH and acetylene, followed by the nucleation or inception of small soot particles, soot growth by coagulation and mass addition from gas phase species, and carbonization of the particulate material. Experimental and theoretical tools which have allowed the achievement of deeper insight into the corresponding chemical processes are presented. The significant roles of propargyl (C 3H3) and cyclopentadienyl (C 5H5) radicals in the formation of first aromatic rings in combustion of aliphatic fuels are discussed. Detailed kinetic modeling of well-defined combustion systems, such as premixed flames, for which sufficient experimental data for a quantitative understanding are available, is of increasing importance. Reliable thermodynamic and kinetic property data are also required for meaningful conclusions, and computational techniques for their determination are presented. Routes of ongoing and future research leading to more detailed experimental data as well as computational approaches for the exploration of elementary reaction steps and the description of systems of increasing complexity are discussed. q 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.

Running title: LIGHT QUALITY AND SEALING TYPE IN In Vitro PEPPER

The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of fi ve light qualities [fl uorescent lamps (FL); white (WL), red (RL), blue (BL), or red/blue LEDs (RBL)] and two types of fl ask sealing (with or without porous membranes) in the in vitro germination and growth of two Capsicum frutescens cultivars (Espaguetinho and Cayenne). For this, two seeds were inoculated per fl ask (350 mL) containing 50 mL of MS medium with 100 mg L myo-inositol, 30 g L sucrose, 6.0 g L agar, and pH 5.8 ± 0.1. The plants were kept under culture room conditions (16-h photoperiod, 25 ± 2°C and irradiance of 40 μmol m s). The experiment was arranged in CRD, 2x5x2 factorial scheme (Cultivar X Light qualities X Sealing type). At 42 days, the following traits were evaluated: percentage of germination; root and shoot length; number of green leaves, senescent leaves and nodal segments; and fresh and dry weight. Plants grown under RL and BRL, showed greater number of green leaves, and longer shoots and roots. The use of porous membranes remarkably reduced the number of senescent leaves. Thus, the use of porous membranes, RL and BRL are recommended since they improve growth and development of pepper in vitro.

Nancy Ho-Mahler 1 Beni Turner Michael Eaddy 2 Mark L Hanke Winnie W Nelson 1 1Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals, Bedminster, NJ, USA; 2Xcenda, Palm Harbor, FL, USA Purpose: Repository corticotropin injection (RCI) is indicated for a number of autoimmunemediated diseases including rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and dermatomyositis (DM)/polymyositis (PM). To better understand the practice patterns and outcomes of RCI in patients with RA, SLE, or DM/PM, we conducted a retrospective medical record analysis. Patients and Methods: Participating providers selected deidentified medical records of patients meeting the inclusion criteria (age ≥18 years; physician-reported diagnosis of RA, SLE, or DM/PM; initiation of treatment with RCI between 1/1/2011 and 2/15/2016; ≥3 inoffice visits with same site/provider). Collected data spanned 12 months before and after the first prescription date for RCI. Analyses included patient demographics and clinical history, RCI treatment patterns, and physician’s impression of change. Results: Data from 54 patients with RA, 30 patients with SLE, and 8 patients with DM/ PM were analyzed. The most frequently reported reasons for initiating RCI were lack of efficacy with prior treatment, acute exacerbation of disease, and use as add-on to ongoing therapy. The most common initial RCI dosing, 80 U twice weekly, was used for 84% of patients with RA, 75% with SLE, and 86% with DM/PM. The mean duration of treatment was 4.8, 6.5, and 6.8 months for RA, SLE, and DM/PM, respectively. Among the 57 patients with data on physician’s impression of change with RCI, 78.1% of patients with RA, 94.7% with SLE, and 66.7% with DM/PM had a rating of “improved,” and the mean time to best impression of change was 3.4, 4.3, and 3.4 months for RA, SLE, and DM/PM, respectively. Conclusion: This study reports the real-world patient profile, use patterns, and outcomes of patients who used RCI for the treatment of RA, SLE, and DM/PM. These data can inform appropriate use and clinical expectations when using RCI.
Bioaccumulation of mercury in fishes of Jagadishpur Reservoir, Nepal

Stable isotope ratios of nitrogen (δ15N, ‰) and carbon (δ13C, ‰), accompanied by stomach contents were used to assess the food chain and trophic transfer of mercury in fifty-three marketable sized fish belonging to five species (Channa punctatus, Mystus vittatus, Nandus nandus, Puntius sophore and Xenentodon cancila) from the Jagadishpur Reservoir, Nepal. The highest total Hg concentration was found in X. cancila with an average of 800.42(±279.36) µg/kg exceeding the international marketing limit (500 mg/kg), a carnivorous species. However, except for some individuals of N. nandus, total Hg concentrations in other fish species in the present study were significantly lower than that limit. The fish community had at least two trophic levels (Δ15N > 5.6), C. punctatus with the highest and M. vittatus the lowest signatures of δ15N, which was also supported by the stomach content analysis. There was neither correlation between total Hg and δ15N nor connectivity in food resource utilization (based on δ13C), indicating no biomagnification among these fish species. In addition, Hg concentrations were not significantly correlated to total fish length in any of the species. Fish species in the present study have low Hg content accompanied by low biomagnification through the studied fish community.
The perceptual organization of space is preserved even if based on a different (quantity of) visual input

Purpose: We investigate the ability of adults with and without visual impairment estimate distances between stimuli in real environment. Methods: We evaluated 12 subjects aged between 20 and 40 years in which 6 subjects with normal vision (mean age=31.0, SD=6.5), and 6 subjects with visual impairment (mean age=27.7, SD=7.8). Two styrofoam balls of 10cm in diameter were used, painted in black and a line of white velcro of 3.5 meters was fixed in the floor of a hallway without lateral references. Psychophysical scaling was evaluated by magnitude estimation and the exponent of the Stevens' law was calculated. Results: The calculated exponent for the controls was 1.13 for near judgment and 1.11 for far distances. The low vision group showed exponent values of 1.01 for near and 0.96 for far distances judgment. There was a statistical difference for 120cm of distance between balls for near (F10=88.21, p<0.001) and a tendency to difference for 200cm (F10=3.81, p=0.079) between groups. Conclusions: Our scaling procedure shows that despite the reduction in the distance judged by the low vision subjects, their internal representation of space is preserved. Similar exponent values indicates that their suprathreshold impression of the distance follow the same rules of the normal subject.
