THE INFLUENCE OF ENVIRONMENTAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP LEVEL AND ENTREPRENEURIAL CHALLENGES ON THE INNOVATION OF WOMEN ENTREPRENEURS

Entrepreneurship plays a pivotal role in a nation's economic development, and it is essential for women to actively participate and innovate in this sphere. This study seeks to investigate and delineate the following: (1) the correlation between the degree of entrepreneurship, entrepreneurial challenges, the entrepreneurial environment, and the innovation of female entrepreneurs; (2) the interplay between the level of entrepreneurship, entrepreneurial challenges, and the innovation of female entrepreneurs, with the entrepreneurial environment acting as a mediating factor; and (3) the framework of entrepreneurial innovation specific to female entrepreneurs. The focus of this research is on female entrepreneurs engaged in eco-friendly business practices in the Jambi Province, involving a sample of 200 respondents. A nonprobability sampling technique was employed to select participants. Data collection was carried out using a structured questionnaire. The gathered data was analyzed using the Structural Equation Model (SEM/PLS) via the Smart PLS tool. The findings reveal significant links between the degree of entrepreneurship and the entrepreneurial environment, as well as between entrepreneurial challenges and both the entrepreneurial environment and eco-friendly entrepreneurial innovation. The primary goal is to develop an empirical model of eco-friendly entrepreneurial innovation, which can be utilized to promote environmental sustainability by integrating key factors identified in the current study. This research is anticipated to make a significant theoretical contribution to scholars in related fields.
Psychological Trauma: Theory, Research, Practice, and Policy The Contribution of Self-Disclosure as a Personal and Interpersonal Characteristic Within the Couple Relationship to Recovery From Posttraumatic Stress

Objective: Much research has been conducted on the clinical course of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), from the perspective of viewing it as a chronic disorder. In the present study, however, we propose viewing PTSD via the recovery paradigm, based on the sociointerpersonal model for understanding post-trauma, which offers a holistic and multidimensional de ﬁ nition of recovery and prognosis (Maercker & Horn, 2013). Speci ﬁ cally, the contribution to recovery of both self-disclosure as a personality trait and self-disclosure of traumatic experiences within the couple relationship were examined. Posttraumatic distress levels and perception of the response following self-disclosure in the couple relationship were examined as mediating variables. Method: The study population included 180 participants between the ages of 20 – 71 who had been exposed to at least one traumatic event in their lives. Results: The study ﬁ ndings revealed that people with a high propensity for self-disclosure and more self-disclosure in the couple relationship had higher levels of personal recovery. The level of posttraumatic distress mediated the relation between self-disclosure in the couple relationship and the perception of recovery. Only the perception of a positive response following exposure of trauma in the couple relationship was a mediator in the association between self-disclosure of traumatic experiences in the couple relationship and recovery. Conclusions: The study indicates the importance of communication regarding the traumatic event in general, and with reference to the perception of the response to the exposure itself. In addition, the study contributes to broadening the recovery paradigm regarding PTSD.
VR-assisted Architectural Design in a Heritage Site: the Sagrada Família Case Study

Virtual Reality (VR) simulations have long been proposed to allow users to explore both yet-to-built buildings in architectural design, and ancient, remote or disappeared buildings in cultural heritage. In this paper we describe an on-going VR project on an UNESCO World Heritage Site that simultaneously addresses both scenarios: supporting architects in the task of designing the remaining parts of a large unfinished building, and simulating existing parts that define the environment that new designs must conform to. The main challenge for the team of architects is to advance towards the project completion being faithful to the original Gaudí’s project, since many plans, drawings and plaster models were lost. We analyze the main requirements for collaborative architectural design in such a unique scenario, describe the main technical challenges, and discuss the lessons learned after one year of use of the system.

Infiltration of Outdoor PM2.5 Pollution into Homes with Evaporative Coolers in Utah County

Global use of energy-inefficient mechanical vapor-compression air conditioning (AC) is increasing dramatically for home cooling. Direct evaporative coolers (EC) offer substantial energy savings, and may provide a sustainable alternative to AC for homes in hot, dry climates. One drawback of ECs is the potential for infiltration of outdoor air pollution into homes. Prior studies on this topic are limited by small sample sizes and a lack of comparison homes. In this study, we used aerosol photometers to sample indoor and outdoor fine particulate matter (PM2.5) from 16 homes with AC and 14 homes with EC in Utah County, Utah (USA) between July 2022 and August 2023. We observed a significantly larger infiltration factor (Fin) of outdoor PM2.5 in EC vs. AC homes (0.39 vs. 0.12, p = 0.026) during summer. Fin significantly increased during a wildfire smoke event that occurred during the study. During the wildfire event, EC homes offered little to no protection from outdoor PM2.5 (Fin = 0.96, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.85, 1.07), while AC homes offered significant protection (Fin = 0.23, 95% CI 0.15, 0.32). We recommend additional research focused on cooling pad design for the dual benefits of cooling efficiency and particle filtration.
The Albian–Cenomanian transition and Oceanic Anoxic Event 1d – an example from the Boreal Realm

The upper Albian to lower Cenomanian interval in the Hanover area (Germany) is characterized by a well‐developed lithological transition from upper Albian monotonous (marly) claystones of several hundred metres thickness, which become enriched in biosilica in the topmost Albian, to increasingly CaCO3‐rich marls and limestones in the lower and middle Cenomanian. This study presents a new 165 m thick composite record spanning the latest Albian to mid‐early Cenomanian (ca 103·0 to 97·5 Ma) based on two core drillings at Anderten in the central Lower Saxony Basin (east of Hanover), which is a sub‐basin of the North German Basin. Due to the lack or delayed occurrences of Tethyan biostratigraphic markers for the late Albian and early Cenomanian in the Boreal Realm, the definition of the Albian–Cenomanian boundary, as based on the lowest occurrence of Thalmanninella globotruncanoides, is not applicable. In order to overcome this issue, an integrated biostratigraphic–chemostratigraphic approach has been employed. In addition to biostratigraphy (calcareous nannofossils, ostracods, planktonic foraminifera and inoceramids), the Anderten succession has been studied using sedimentary geochemistry (CaCO3, total organic carbon, δ13C and δ18O), γ‐ray logging and X‐ray fluorescence core scanning. This approach enabled successful correlation of the composite Anderten record to European reference sections in England, south‐east France and Italy, as well as to further low‐resolution records from the Lower Saxony Basin (Wunstorf and Konrad 101 core). This work has made it possible to identify the δ13Ccarb expression of: (i) the Oceanic Anoxic Event 1d; (ii) the Albian–Cenomanian boundary interval; and (iii) potentially the Lower Cenomanian Event(s). Chemostratigraphic age assignments are supported by biostratigraphic results. Calcareous nannofossils indicate an extended Upper Cretaceous 0 (UC0) zone (upper Albian) up to Upper Cretaceous 2 (UC2; upper lower Cenomanian), and the occurrence of the ostracod Physocythere steghausi supports an early Cenomanian age for most of the upper part of the composite record. Notably, influxes of the planktonic foraminifer Thalmanninella aff. reicheli have previously been described from this area and the first appearance of this taxon is usually used to define the base of the middle Cenomanian Substage. However, findings from the Anderten cores and elsewhere suggest that this taxon has an apparently earlier first appearance, questioning previous age assignments from the Boreal Realm solely based on planktonic foraminifera. Due to both moderately well‐preserved microfossils and high sedimentation rates, the drilled succession of Anderten is considered as a potential Boreal reference section for the Albian–Cenomanian transition.
Highly efﬁcient de novo mutant identiﬁcation in a Sorghum bicolor TILLING population using the ComSeq approach

SUMMARY Screening large populations for carriers of known or de novo rare single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) is required both in Targeting induced local lesions in genomes (TILLING) experiments in plants and in screening of human populations. We previously suggested an approach that combines the mathematical ﬁeld of compressed sensing with next-generation sequencing to allow such large-scale screening. Based on pooled measurements, this method identiﬁes multiple carriers of heterozygous or homozygous rare alleles while using only a small fraction of resources. Its rigorous mathematical foundations allow scalable and robust detection, and provide error correction and resilience to experimental noise. Here we present a large-scale experimental demonstration of our computational approach, in which we targeted a TILLING population of 1024 Sorghum bicolor lines to detect carriers of de novo SNPs whose frequency was less than 0.1%, using only 48 pools. Subsequent validation conﬁrmed that all detected lines were indeed carriers of the predicted mutations. This novel approach provides a highly cost-effective and robust tool for biologists and breeders to allow identiﬁcation of novel alleles and subsequent functional analysis.
Development of an Evidence-Based First Aid Guideline for First Responders in Sub-Saharan Africa

Background: Many Sub-Saharan African countries lack effective emergency medical services. In response, Red Cross and Red Crescent National Societies, amongst other organizations implement first responder training programs across Africa. The current paper describes the development of an advanced manual for first responders (FAFR) in Sub-Saharan Africa. Methods: This FAFR manual was developed according to the principles of Evidence-Based Practice accounting for scientific evidence, expert opinion, and preferences of the target audience (i.e., Sub-Saharan African first responders). The GRADE (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation) approach was used to assess the certainty of evidence. A geographically balanced expert panel of African field and academic experts set the scope and defined the research questions. The best available evidence was systematically collected and presented
Fungal Polysaccharides: Biological Activity Beyond the Usual Structural Properties

Studies on structure and function of polysaccharides in biological systems classically involve sequence and compositional analyses, anomeric configuration, type of glycosidic linkage, and presence of substituents. Recent studies, however, indicates that other structural parameters, so far little explored, can directly influence the biological activity of microbial polysaccharides. Among these parameters, we highlight the molecular dimensions of Cryptococcus neoformans polysaccharides, which appear to be inversely correlated with their immunobiological activity. These recent observations raise new concepts about the structure and function of polysaccharides, which stimulates the design of new experimental approaches and suggests previously unknown applications.
Do co-ethnic commuters disseminate labor market information? Evidence from geocoded register data

This article provides causal evidence of the significant role ethnic networks play in facilitating labor market integration by reducing information frictions. Using full population geocoded employer-employee matched Swedish register data, we investigate how co-ethnic commuters can influence the work location of immigrants for their initial employment. We argue that these ethnic peers transmit job specific information from their places of work to fellow ethnic peers within the same residential neighborhood who seek jobs. We find that a new immigrant’s likelihood of securing their first job at a certain location increases with the presence of co-ethnic commuters from their residential neighborhood: Each additional commuter of the same ethnic network increases the probability of finding employment in a specific neighborhood by 2.3 %. This effect is more pronounced for women, co-ethnic commuters with similar education levels, and immigrants who land their first jobs in larger firms.

Efﬁcient d -dimensional molecular dynamics simulations for studies of the glass-jamming transition

We develop an algorithm suitable for parallel molecular dynamics simulations in d spatial dimensions and describe its implementation in C + + . All routines work in arbitrary d ; the maximum simulated d is limited only by available computing resources. These routines include several that are particularly useful for studies of the glass-jamming transition, such as SWAP Monte Carlo and FIRE energy minimization. The scalings of simulation runtimes with the number of particles N and number of simulation threads n threads are comparable to popular molecular dynamics codes such as LAMMPS. The efﬁcient parallel implementation allows simulation of systems that are much larger than those employed in previous high-dimensional glass-transition studies. As a demonstration of the code’s capabilities, we show that supercooled d = 6 liquids can possess dynamics that are substantially more heterogeneous and experience a breakdown of the Stokes-Einstein relation that is substantially stronger than previously reported, owing at least in part to the much smaller system sizes employed in earlier simulations.
Mediated Epidermal Hyperplasia - IL-17A Formation and Selective Autophagy in with Neutrophil Extracellular Trap Independent Mechanisms Associated - T Cell

IL-17A has been strongly associated with epidermal hyperplasia in many cutaneous disorders. However, because IL-17A is mainly produced by ab and gd T cells in response to IL-23, the role of T cells and IL-23 has overshadowed any IL-17A–independent actions. In this article, we report that IL-17A gene transfer induces epidermal hyperplasia in Il23r 2 / 2 Rag1 2 / 2 - and Tcr d -deﬁcient mice, which can be prevented by neutrophil depletion. Moreover, adoptive transfer of CD11b + Gr-1 hi cells, after IL-17A gene transfer, was sufﬁcient to phenocopy the disease. We further show that the IL-17A–induced pathology was prevented in transgenic mice with impaired neutrophil extracellular trap formation and/or neutrophils with conditional deletion of the master regulator of selective autophagy, Wdfy3. Our data demonstrate a novel T cell–independent mechanism that is associated with neutrophil extracellular trap formation and selective autophagy in IL-17A–mediated epidermal hyperplasia.

Binaural Directionality III: Directionality that supports natural auditory processing

of directionality without its drawbacks. First, the decision-making algorithm is of great consequence. The rationale for selecting a particular microphone mode affects what information ultimately is provided to the user. Second, the analysis of the acoustic environment is critical. It provides the input for the decision-making about how to adapt the hearing aid processing. Finally, the directional processing itself is important. It should provide a better signal-to-noise ratio but not create issues with audibility or sound quality. ReSound Binaural Directionality III was developed with careful attention to each of these three factors. Based on an accurate analysis of the acoustic environment, Binaural Directionality III uniquely applies directional microphone technology to support different listening strategies, allowing the user to focus on the sounds that are important to them. Depending on the particular microphone mode, dedicated technologies serve to provide the best listening experience. Natural sound quality is central to Binaural Directionality III, and Directional Mix ensures transparent transitions between microphone modes. In addition Spatial Sense preserves the important localization cues that contribute to spatial hearing and the most true-to-nature sound quality. Finally, the directivity patterns of the different microphone modes ABSTRACT The differences and similarities between sounds arriving at each ear can be used to enhance or suppress environmental sounds at will, and lets us easily shift our attention among these sounds. Depending on what the sound of interest is at any particular moment, we innately use different listening strategies, and we unconsciously change between a strategy that relies on environmental awareness and one that relies on the ear with the best representation of the interesting sound. Binaural Directionality III provides the ultimate balance for supporting natural hearing: a signal-to-noise ratio improvement similar to bilateral directional microphones and a significant benefit in ease of listening compared to other directional microphone strategies. This paper reviews the rationale for Binaural Directionality III and how it achieves this balance.
Regions of Hierarchy and Security: US Troop Deployments, Spatial Relations, and Defense Burdens

ABSTRACT Recent work has begun exploring the effects of foreign military deployments on host-state foreign policies. However, research mostly focuses on dyadic relationships between major powers and host-states, ignoring the broader regional security environment of host-states. We develop a theory of spatial hierarchies to understand how security relationships throughout the region surrounding the host-state affect host-state foreign policy. Using data on US military deployments from 1950–2005, we show that regional security considerations condition how host-states respond to the deployment of military forces to their territory. Consequently, regional analyses are fundamental in understanding monadic and dyadic decisions about security, alliance behavior, and conflict.
Comparison of ground-based and satellite measurements of water vapour vertical profiles over Ellesmere Island, Nunavut

Abstract. Improving measurements of water vapour in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS) is a priority for the atmospheric science community. In this work, UTLS water vapour profiles derived from Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment (ACE) satellite measurements are assessed with coincident ground-based measurements taken at a high Arctic observatory at Eureka, Nunavut, Canada. Additional comparisons to satellite measurements taken by the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS), Michelson Interferometer for Passive Atmospheric Sounding (MIPAS), Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS), Scanning Imaging Absorption Spectrometer for Atmospheric CHartography (SCIAMACHY), and Tropospheric Emission Spectrometer (TES) are included to put the ACE Fourier transform spectrometer (ACE-FTS) and ACE Measurement of Aerosol Extinction in the Stratosphere and Troposphere Retrieved by Occultation (ACE-MAESTRO) results in context. Measurements of water vapour profiles at Eureka are made using a Bruker 125HR solar absorption Fourier transform infrared spectrometer at the Polar Environment Atmospheric Research Laboratory (PEARL) and radiosondes launched from the Eureka Weather Station. Radiosonde measurements used in this study were processed with software developed by the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS) Reference Upper-Air Network (GRUAN) to account for known biases and calculate uncertainties in a well-documented and consistent manner. ACE-FTS measurements were within 11 ppmv (parts per million by volume; 13 %) of 125HR measurements between 6 and 14 km. Between 8 and 14 km ACE-FTS profiles showed a small wet bias of approximately 8 % relative to the 125HR. ACE-FTS water vapour profiles had mean differences of 13 ppmv (32 %) or better when compared to coincident radiosonde profiles at altitudes between 6 and 14 km; mean differences were within 6 ppmv (12 %) between 7 and 11 km. ACE-MAESTRO profiles showed a small dry bias relative to the 125HR of approximately 7 % between 6 and 9 km and 10 % between 10 and 14 km. ACE-MAESTRO profiles agreed within 30 ppmv (36 %) of the radiosondes between 7 and 14 km. ACE-FTS and ACE-MAESTRO comparison results show closer agreement with the radiosondes and PEARL 125HR overall than other satellite datasets – except for AIRS. Close agreement was observed between AIRS and the 125HR and radiosonde measurements, with mean differences within 5 % and correlation coefficients above 0.83 in the troposphere between 1 and 7 km. Comparisons to MLS at altitudes around 10 km showed a dry bias, e.g. mean differences between MLS and radiosondes were −25.6 %. SCIAMACHY comparisons were very limited due to minimal overlap between the vertical extent of the measurements. TES had no temporal overlap with the radiosonde dataset used in this study. Comparisons between TES and the 125HR showed a wet bias of approximately 25 % in the UTLS and mean differences within 14 % below 5 km.
