Internationalization process of Spanish firms of the service sector

The objective of this research is responding to two important questions that have been analyzed in the literature on international management, the “where” and the “how”. With this purpose both descriptive and comparison of means analysis are applied. The resulting analysis indicates that Spanish multinationals in the service sector have a semi global focus in their international operations and are located principally in Europe and Latin America. Furthermore, we found that Spanish service multinationals exert high levels of subsidiary control and that do not present significant differences in the levels of control they have over subsidiaries in relation to the type of service.

Betting on Mean Reversion in the VIX? Evidence From the Revealed Preferences of Investors

We evaluate the ability of different asset pricing models to explain the flows into VIX ETPs with long volatility exposure. We find no evidence supporting that investors consider systematic risk when they evaluate VIX ETP performance. Instead, investors appear to follow a simple mean reversion strategy, buying (selling) when returns are negative (positive), coinciding with low (high) levels of the VIX. We provide evidence that this mean reversion strategy is a very likely explanation for the "low premium response puzzle" in the VIX premium.
Nuclear Factor Erythroid 2-Related Factor 2 in Regulating Cancer Metabolism

Significance: Nuclear factor erythroid 2 (NFE2)-related factor 2 (NFE2L2, or NRF2) is a transcription factor predominantly affecting the expression of antioxidant genes. NRF2 plays a significant role in the control of redox balance, which is crucial in cancer cells. NRF2 activation regulates numerous cancer hallmarks, including metabolism, cancer stem cell characteristics, tumor aggressiveness, invasion, and metastasis formation. We review the molecular characteristics of the NRF2 pathway and discuss its interactions with the cancer hallmarks previously listed. Recent Advances: The noncanonical activation of NRF2 was recently discovered, and members of this pathway are involved in carcinogenesis. Further, cancer-related changes (e.g., metabolic flexibility) that support cancer progression were found to be redox- and NRF2 dependent. Critical Issues: NRF2 undergoes Janus-faced behavior in cancers. The pro- or antineoplastic effects of NRF2 are context dependent and essentially based on the specific molecular characteristics of the cancer in question. Therefore, systematic investigation of NRF2 signaling is necessary to clarify its role in cancer etiology. The biggest challenge in the NRF2 field is to determine which cancers can be targeted for better clinical outcomes. Further, large-scale genomic and transcriptomic studies are missing to correlate the clinical outcome with the activity of the NRF2 system. Future Directions: To exploit NRF2 in a clinical setting in the future, the druggable members of the NRF2 pathway should be identified. In addition, it will be important to study how the modulation of the NRF2 system interferes with cytostatic drugs and their combinations.

The role of group I metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR1? and mGluR5) in glutamate-induced neuronal excitotoxicity in Alzheimer's disease

Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) have become a pharmacological target for neuroprotective drug development. MGluRs are 7-transmembrane-domain proteins that couple to G-protein and are involved in controlling second messenger levels. Since glutamate play a crucial role in neurotoxicity of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), mGluRs may represent a pharmacological path for producing a relatively subtle modulation of glutamate systems in the CNS. Aims of the study were: 1) determine regional mGluR1α and mGluR5 levels in healthy human controls and AD cases; 2)search for potential ligands for group I mGluRs. Immunohistochemistry, performed using mGluR1α and mGluR5 polyclonal antibodies on paraformaldehyde-fixed tissue sections, showed that mGluR1α immunoreactivity was concentrated in the stratum lucidum and molecular layer of dentate gyrus in both control and AD hippocampus, whereas abundant mGluR5 immunoreactivity was found in pyramidal cells and the pleomorphic cell layer of the dentate gyrus in AD hippocampus cf. weak labeling in controls. No mGluR1α immunoreactivity was found in either control or AD occipital cortex. Strong mGluR5 signals were detected in control occipital cortex. Predominant mGluR5 staining was observed in AD mid-temporal cortex. Western-blot and [3H]quisqualate binding assays were also used to define the mGluR1α and mGluR5 receptor profiles. It showed that mGluR5 was expressed prominently in hippocampus. A radioligand binding assay was used to screen venoms extracted from Conus snails as potential ligands.
Public Speaking Anxiety in the Thai EFL Context.

Anxiety can be both good and bad and thus facilitating or debilitating, as a confidence booster or as a de-motivator. Anxiety is worthy of investigation because it is a factor that influences perceived competence. The present study investigated public speaking anxiety problems faced by Thai EFL students from their own and the researchers’ perspectives. In order to achieve these objectives, three main data gathering and triangulating tools were used: (1) classroom observation, (2) semi-structured interview, and (3) questionnaire. The results revealed that anxiety was found to cause problems related to self-confidence, self-esteem, risk-taking ability, and ultimately hampers proficiency in the foreign language. As a result, their personal, social, and academic contexts have been negatively affected due to this speaking anxiety. These findings advance the pedagogical understandings of anxiety-related public speaking in a foreign language issues, and may be useful in the context of enhancing the EFL learners’ communication skills.
Do Operations in Corrupt Foreign Countries Affect Auditor Behavior?

Auditors are required by the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other rules to evaluate the probability that a firm’s management bribes foreign government officials. If the auditors comply with these rules by assessing higher audit risk for firms with operations in corrupt foreign countries, we would expect to observe a positive association between operations in corrupt foreign countries and auditor effort evident in higher audit fees. However, in the other direction, a firm may generate considerable economic benefits by committing foreign bribery. Such economic benefits reduce an auditor’s perceived business risk of the firm, potentially leading to lower audit fees. In analyzing a sample of U.S. multinational firms, we document that having operations in more corrupt foreign countries is negatively associated with audit fees. In cross-sectional evidence consistent with expectations, we find that the negative link between operations in corrupt countries and audit pricing is concentrated in firms with strong political connections known to lighten enforcement, poor internal controls conducive to hiding foreign bribery, and subsidiaries in host countries that refrain from joining a major international anti-corruption cooperation agreement. Our research has implications for the PCAOB which is considering issuing additional guidance concerning auditors’ responsibilities surrounding clients’ possible illegal acts.
TOTAL QUALITY MANAGEMENT THROUGH LECTURER ASSESSMENT WITH STUDENTS TO IMPROVE GRADUATE QUALITY

Total Management System or abbreviated as TQM is a management system quality that is focused on the customer (Customer focused) by involving all levels of employees in making improvements or continuous improvements (in a manner continuously). Total Quality Management or TQM uses strategy, data and effective communication to integrate quality discipline into culture and company activities. In short, Total Quality Management (TQM) is a management approach to achieve long-term success through satisfaction Customer (Customer Satisfaction). Lecturers are the spearhead of a TQM in college with always carry out Tri Dharma College, but keep in mind that customer satisfaction (in this case students) is the main key to the implementation of the tri dharma of the university high, because with the assessment of students we will be able to find out weaknesses what we have done in PBM. With this weakness, the lecturer is obliged to make changes so that TQM is achieved so that our graduates' expectations will be become competitive with overseas college graduates. The results of this study concluded that the assessment of the implementation of the learning process most lecturers have done from the preparation, implementation and evaluation stages states agree that the stages are prepared in advance by the lecturer before carrying out the lecture process.
Insights into Auditor Public Oversight Boards: Whether, How, and Why they 'Work'

We survey 170 inspectors, representing 27% of the inspection staff, from auditor public oversight boards (POBs) in 20 countries to understand whether, how, and why auditors change auditing practices in response to POB oversight. We ask about several theories and areas in the literature. We find that a large majority of POB inspectors believe that auditors frequently respond to inspector feedback by changing audit procedures and quality control systems. Inspectors perceive inspections to have broad effects on several aspects of auditing, ranging from documentation, scrutiny of management estimates, and training to changes in the audit-quality review process, firm culture and on occasion even compensation policies. Inspectors perceive that the primary reasons why auditors respond to their feedback are 1) POB enforcement capabilities, 2) the perceived authority of the POBs, 3) public disclosure of inspection findings, and 4) that POBs have a culture conducive for detecting auditing deficiencies. Cross-sectional tests suggest that inspection frequency and the number of inspectors employed by a POB also affect the perceived extent to which auditors respond to inspection feedback.
A study to find the correlation between mucocutaneous manifestations and CD4 counts among the newly diagnosed HIV individuals.

Introduction: Skin disorders are common manifestations of HIV disease. A study was conducted to find the correlation between the degree of immunosuppression and the incidence of specific skin disorders in patients with HIV infection. Materials and methods: Study was conducted in the department of dermatology, SCB Medical College and Hospital, Cuttack from October 2010 to September 2012. Random sampling was considered in this study. Referred patients, after pretest counseling at ICTC Centre, were included and individuals who are on antiretroviral treatment were excluded. Relevant diagnostic tests were performed like scraping and KOH examination for the diagnosis of dermatophytoses and candidiasis, Tzanck smear for herpes infection, Darkfield microscopy for diagnosis of a syphilitic ulcer, Biopsy is done wherever required. CD4 count was done as per the guidelines. Results: A total of 150 (100%) participants were included, the male-female ratio was 1.8. Age-wise, 57% (85) were included in 31–45 group and 15% were unmarried. Fungal infections constitute 17.9% of total mucocutaneous disorders followed by bacterial infections (10.5%), viral (8.09%) and parasitic (6.7%) infestations. Conclusion: Age group, 31–45 years is the commonest for HIV infection. Fungal infections (dermatoses) of the skin were most common followed by bacterial folliculitis, herpes zoster, and scabies. Except for viral infections, the mean CD4 counts were <200cells/cu mm.
Subjective Evaluation, Performance Targets, and Incentives

Managerial incentive plans often combine objective measures of performance relative to beginning-of-year targets with ex post subjective evaluations. We argue that one of the roles of subjectivity is to offset the limitations of target-based rewards and strengthen managerial incentives when targets lose their motivating effects due to unforeseen events. We use detailed data on 2004–2015 subjective and objective performance assessments of Korean state-owned enterprises to empirically examine the role of ex post subjectivity when incentives are based on ex ante targets. We find that subjective and objective evaluations of the same performance dimension are strongly positively correlated but only when performance falls short of the target, which implies that subjective evaluations can discourage failure to meet a target by a wide margin. We also find that such failure is associated with next-period incentive plan adjustments that render areas with poor prior-period performance more important in future evaluations. We discuss how these subjective choices facilitate multi-tasking and strengthen incentives to improve performance even in areas where targets become ineffective.
Faculty Burnout in Pharmacy Education

Burnout negatively affects health care faculty members, their professions, and patient care. Academic institutions are culpable in regard to establishing reasonable expectations and a supportive work culture. Together, the health professions must proactively evaluate, develop, and implement strategies to minimize faculty burnout. This commentary suggests multiple ways to address faculty burnout.

Thermostable novel non-haem extracellular glycosylated peroxidase from Thermomonospora fusca BD25

Thermomonospora fusca BD25 produces relatively high levels of activity of extracellular glycosylated peroxidase isoforms. The novel properties of one of the purified peroxidases is reported in this paper. The catalytic activity of the peroxidase against various substrates such as 2,4-dichlorophenol, L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine, caffeic acid and protocatechuic acid was demonstrated. However, the enzyme did not show haloperoxidase or manganese peroxidase activity. Spectrophotometric analysis of the enzyme failed to detect the presence of a haem centre. In addition, the peroxidase exhibited no inhibition of activity with haem-protein inhibitors such as KCN or NaN 3 . The enzyme exhibited optimum activity over the pH range 6.0-8.0, with pKa 1 and pKa 2 values of 5.1 ± 0.3 and 9.4 ± 0.3 respectively. Full peroxidase activity was displayed for up to 10 min in the presence of 5% (w/v) SDS and 8 M urea at elevated temperatures ranging from 50 to 70 °C. In the absence of SDS or urea, the enzyme was stable at 50 °C for more than 24 h, with a half-life of IS h at 60 °C and 80 min at 70 °C. The activation energy for de-activation as a result of thermal denaturation of the enzyme was calculated to be 98 ± 10 kJ.mol -1 . The temperature-stability of the non-haem peroxidase in the presence of detergents and the activity over a broad pH range signify the suitability of this enzyme for potential diagnostic applications such as serum cholesterol determination as a means of assessing myocardial infarction.
Effect of Amino Acids Spray on Growth, Flowering and Keeping Quality of Gerbera jamesonii L. as a Pot Plant

The present research was conducted in the greenhouse of the Experimental Station of Horticultural Research Station in Mansoura, Horticultural Research Institute, Agricultural Research Center during the two successive seasons of 2016 and 2017 from February 21 to June 27. One month oldgerbera plants were obtained from a commercial nursery in Mansoura, planted in 20 cm pots. This investigation aimed to improve some plant growth, flowering parameters and chemical constituents of gerbera (Gerbera jamensonii L.) plants, by using foliar application with some amino acids (glycine, arginine, asparagine, alanine, tryptophan, and a mixture from all of them) at concentrations of 100 ppm plus the control (tap water). Application of amino acid treatments began 30 days after transplanting then repeated after 14 days intervals. The results showed that spraying gerbera plants with a mixture of amino acids at 100ppm gave the highest values of leaves and roots fresh and dry weights, total leaf area, leaf area/ plant, number of leaves/ plant, chlorophyll (A, B and total), total carbohydrates, N, P and K contents in the leaves and biggest flowers diameters (11.23 and 11.83 cm), followed by plants treated with glycine then tryptophan in the two seasons, respectively. Glycine at 100ppm recorded pronounced significant values in flowers stem length and number of flowers (7.66 and 8.00 flowers/ plant) in both seasons respectively, followed by the tryptophan treatment (7.00 and 7.33 flowers/ plant), the third highest was that of the mixture treatment. The lowest values were obtained when plants treated with tap water (control) in both seasons, respectively.
