The influence of different knowledge workers on innovation strategy and product development performance in small and medium-sized enterprises

Despite significant interest on the topic of knowledge workers, the understanding of how they influence certain aspects of firm innovativeness remains limited. In particular, while different types of knowledge workers exist, their particular synergistic effects on new and improved product development within smaller firms has received less attention. Drawing on the knowledge-based view (KBV), we posit that innovation strategy plays an instrumental role in linking the effects of knowledge workers, thereby leading to greater product development outcomes from different types of knowledge workers. Moreover, some suggest that beyond a certain point, there is a diminishing return to increasing the proportion of knowledge workers in an organisation; however, the basis of this finding is within larger firms. This study investigates whether high-level (e.g. engineers and scientists) and low-level (e.g. technicians and machine operators) knowledge workers exert varying effects on performance in terms of new and improved product development. Data from 205 small and medium-sized high-tech manufacturing firms provide support that distinguishing among types of knowledge workers is important given that they impact new and improved product development differently. Furthermore, innovation strategy plays a synergistic role, positively mediating the effects of different types of knowledge workers on innovation outcomes.
Vibration Analysis of a Nonlinear System With Cyclic Symmetry

This work is devoted to the study of nonlinear dynamics of structures with cyclic symmetry under geometrical nonlinearity using the harmonic balance method (HBM). In order to study the influence of the nonlinearity due to large deflection of blades, a simplified model has been developed. It leads to nonlinear differential equations of the second order, linearly coupled, in which the nonlinearity appears by cubic terms. Periodic solutions in both free and forced cases are sought by the HBM coupled with an arc length continuation and stability analysis. In this study, specific attention has been paid to the evaluation of nonlinear modes and to the influence of excitation on dynamic responses. Indeed, several cases of excitation have been analyzed: punctual one and tuned or detuned low engine order. This paper shows that for a localized, or sufficiently detuned, excitation, several solutions can coexist, some of them being represented by closed curves in the frequency-amplitude domain. Those different kinds of solution meet up when increasing the force amplitude, leading to forced nonlinear localization. As the closed curves are not tied with the basic nonlinear solution, they are easily missed. They were calculated using a sequential continuation with the force amplitude as a parameter.

Can satellite data on air pollution predict industrial production?

The Covid-19 crisis has highlighted innovative high-frequency dataset allowing to measure in real-time the economic impact. In this vein, we explore how satellite data measuring the concentration of nitrogen dioxide (NO2, a pollutant emitted mainly by industrial activity) in the troposphere can help predict industrial production. We first show how such data must be adjusted for meteorological patterns which can alter data quality and pollutant emissions. We use machine learning techniques to better account for non-linearities and interactions between variables. We then find evidence that nowcasting performances for monthly industrial production are significantly improved when relying on daily NO2 data compared to benchmark models based on PMIs and auto-regressive (AR) terms. We also find evidence of heterogeneities suggesting that the contribution of daily pollution data is particularly important during “crisis” episodes and that the elasticity of NO2 pollution to industrial production for a country depends on the share of manufacturing in the value added. Available daily, free-to-use, granular and covering all countries including those with limited statistics, this paper illustrates the potential of satellite-based data for air pollution in enhancing the real-time monitoring of economic activity.
KAJIAN SUHU RUANG SIMPAN TERHADAP KUALITAS BENIH KEDELAI HITAM DAN KEDELAI KUNING STUDY OF STORAGE TEMPERATURE ON THE QUALITY OF BLACK AND YELLOW SOYBEAN SEED

The experiment was aimed to know the effect of storage temperature on the quality of black and yellow soybean seed after six months storing. The experiment was conducted in the Laboratory of Seed Technology, Agriculture Faculty, Gadjah Mada University, Yogyakarta (+ 300 m above sea level) and in Ciwalen Village, Cianjur, West Java (+ 1.000 m above sea level), from January up to June 2003 The experiment used 2 x 2 factorial design and arranged in the randomized completely design (CRD) with four replications. The first factor was color of seed that consisted of two levels i.e. black soybean and yellow soybean. The second factor was storage temperature that consisted of two levels i.e low temperature (20 0 C – 23 0 C) and high temperature(27 0 C – 29 0 C). Every treatment was packed in polyethylene bags and can packages. The observation of the parameter had tested in every month until six months. The parameter were seed quality (viability and vigor test), seedling growth (seedling height, leaves number, root length and dry weight of seedling), moisture content, storage temperature and relative humidity. The result showed that there was interaction between color of seed coat and storage temperature. Black soybean seed had viability (>90 %), vigor and growth of seedling better than that of yellow soybean seed in low and high temperature (both in polyethylene bags and can packages) after six months storing. Yellow bean seed, both polyethylene bags and can packages in low temperature had high viability (>80 %) better than that of in high temperature (<60%).
Risks related to car fire on innovative Poroelastic Road Surfaces—PERS

To reduce tyre/road noise, the concept of poroelastic road surfaces (PERS) was invented. PERS is a road surface material that is porous, and at the same time, it is flexible because of the substantial amount of rubber granulate content (from 20% to 85%). The rubber and stone particles are bound by polyurethane resin instead of bitumen. It was feared that in case of fire, because of the high content of rubber and polyurethane, there may be considerable emission of potentially hazardous substances (such as hydrogen cyanide) from burning PERS. Tests performed by the Technical University of Gdansk show that the emission of toxic gases is rather small and that the surface does not promote car fire, even when soaked with fuel. Car fire with fuel spill on PERS is less dangerous for passengers than car fire on dense road surface as the fire is spreading much slower. The article presents results of laboratory and road experiments carried out within FP7 ‘PERSUADE’. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Performance of bolted angle connections in progressive collapse of steel frames

This paper is mainly focused on the behaviour of bolted top‐seat angle connections with double web angles, categorized as partially restrained connections, in progressive collapse of semi‐rigid steel frames due to sudden column loss. The main characteristics of this type of loading are declared and the effect of the imposed boundary conditions on the motivated elements is depicted. To study the performance of frame connections under these conditions, refined nonlinear finite element modelling technique is used. The models are created based on the previous experimental studies and their accuracy is examined through a comparison to the results of these tests. New models are created under conditions of the progressive collapse and the behaviour of the connections is studied. The study showed that due to the applied boundary conditions, the connections behave stiffer and show a higher moment capacity. Based on the results of the numerical models, equations are presented to estimate the moment‐rotation response of the studied connections under progressive collapse conditions based on the beam and connection mechanical and geometrical properties and the connection rotation.

Knowledge Management Capabilities in the Kingdom of Bahrain: Case Study of the Supreme Council for Women

This study examines the relationships between Knowledge Management Infrastructure Capabilities (KMIC) and Knowledge Management Process Capabilities (KMPC) in a context that has not been sufficiently considered in literature; it also measures the level of Knowledge Management (KM) capabilities in the Supreme Council for Women in the Kingdom of Bahrain (SCWB) in order to suggest improvements in the current level of KM capabilities for the successful implementation of KM. To serve this purpose, a survey was designed and data were collected from employees in SCWB. Pearson Correlation analysis was used to verify the existence of relationships between the independent variables (namely, learning, decentralisation, T-shaped skills, and IT support in terms of KMIC,) and the dependent variable (KMPC). The results are generally in line with those of previous studies. This study highlights the importance of focusing on creating a knowledge infrastructure that is made up of appropriate technology, culture, structure and human resources. The paper therefore recommends that SCWB and similar strategic organisations pay more attention to KM capabilities in order to achieve a successful and stable implementation and transformation of knowledge-based organisations.
“Why Should I Read the Privacy Policy, I Just Need the Service”: A Study on Attitudes and Perceptions Towards Privacy Policies

Online service providers are aggressively evolving the digital systems around us into surveillance platforms. From voice assistants that listen to every conversation, to apps that share sensitive location information, privacy experts have raised concerns about how such data is being abused. This comes at a time when advertisement campaigns can target users through social media platforms according to political party affiliations, reproductive health, and even religious beliefs. Such behavior raises concerns about how service providers leverage privacy policies to legitimately appropriate private data. In this work, we examine the user attitudes and perceptions towards privacy policies. We analyze user perceptions based on data collected from 655 participants. We use this information to identify different motivators and blockers that can influence the user’s willingness towards reading privacy policies. We also examine the impact of previous user experiences such as cyber attacks, as well as, online data sharing practices on reading such policies. Furthermore, we evaluate the ability of users to comprehend the content presented in privacy policies and the impact technical jargon has on the readability of such documents. Our study reveals that although less than 19% of our participants reported having some difficulty in understanding privacy policies, our study shows that more than half of the participants did not understand the content. Finally, we evaluate the implication of using different interfaces for conveying privacy policy content. We use this information to extract various pain points that could be used to assist researchers in improving the usability of privacy policies.
Potentials of compost, compost tea and aqueous neem leaves extract in reducing some diseased plants and boosting onion (Allium cepa L.) production in the field at Gapring-Lara in t he Department of Mayo Kani (Cameroon)

With a view to promoting the onion sector, we studied the behavior of onion following the application in fields of Cow Dung compost, compost tea and the aqueous extract of neem leaves during the 2018/2019 and 2019/2020 growing seasons. The device used was a complete randomized block comprising 10 treatments including compost (Cp), compost tea (CpT), Neem extract (Nex), compost + compost tea (Cp+CpT),compost+Neem extract (Cp+Nex), compost tea+Neem extract (CpT+Nex), compost+Compost Tea+NeemExtract (Cp+CpT+Nex), Control (Ctrl), Chemical Pesticide (ChP) and Chemical Fertilizer (ChF) with 3 repetitions each. The work focused on agronomic and phytopathological parameters. The results reveal that Cp+CpT+Nex treatment had a highly significant influence on the germination rate (92.33%) than Ctrl treatment (44%). He was significantly increased the number of leaves, size and yield compared to other treatments with 22.16 leaves, 52 cm and 114.74 t/ha (2018/2019) and 20.83 leaves and 53.84 cm; but yield was higher by ChF with 47.49 t/ha (2019/2020). Nex, Cp+Nex and CpT+Nex treatments reduced attack of Delia antiqua compared to control. And significant reduction in number of plants attacked by onion mildew was observed in Cp+CpT+Nex treatment. In view of the results obtained, organics fertilizers can be used in onion production.
Neoliberalization and inequality: disparities in access to affordable housing in urban Canada 1981–2016

Abstract The neoliberalization of housing policy and housing financialization have brought unequal impacts on housing outcomes. Drawing on eight waves of census data, this study uncovers the changing mechanism of housing stratification in selected Canadian census metropolitan areas from 1981 to 2016, a period when Canada transitioned from a welfare housing regime to a neoliberal regime. This study reveals entrenched housing inequality and strengthened income effect in determining access to affordable housing in the neoliberal era. Housing financialization has significantly contributed to intensified inequality in accessing affordable housing. Access to affordable housing in Canada is also stratified along the lines of gender and immigration status. Homeownership affordability for low-to-moderate-income households has significantly deteriorated over time, representing a new form of housing vulnerability in the neoliberal era.
PROJECTING FUTURE PADDY IRRIGATION DEMANDS IN KOREA

Climate change will introduce changes in air and sea water temperature, rainfall, among others. This will affect water resources, food production, public health, etc. To assess the impacts of climate change is a prerequisite to developing adaptation and mitigation strategies. In this study the impacts of climate change on paddy irrigation water demands in Korea have been analyzed. Dynamically downscaled 27 × 27 km grid future climate data for the SRES A2 scenario and the observed baseline climatology dataset were used. A geographic information system was used to produce maps showing the spatial changes in irrigation water requirements for rice paddies. The results showed that the growing season mean temperature and rainfall for future scenarios were projected to increase. The effect of ETo increase due to temperature increase was larger than that of rainfall increase on paddy irrigation requirement. Therefore the paddy irrigation requirement was projected to increase in the future. The total volumetric irrigation water demand was projected to increase by 2.8% (2020s), 4.9% (2050s) and 4.5% (2080s). The temporal and spatial variations were large and should be considered in irrigation water resource planning and management in the future. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Chip implementation with combined temperature sensor and reference devices based on DZTC principle

A CMOS temperature sensor design to improve the sensitivity and linearity of the authors' previous work is presented. Based on the principle of double zero temperature coefficient (DZTC) points, a combined device is fabricated using 0.35 µm CMOS process with two voltage references, one current reference, and one temperature sensor. From −20 to 120°C, two voltage references provide temperature-stable outputs of 823±0.2 and 1265±8.9 mV, and the current reference gives 23.5±1.2 µA. The temperature sensor has good sensitivity of 9.55 mV/°C better than the previous design by 4.15 times, and high linearity of 97%.
Association between Skipping Breakfast and Overweight in Korean Adolescents: Analysis of the 13th Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey

Breakfast, as a meal that balances all other meals in a day, affects whether an individual has lunch and how they distribute snacks and meals during the day [1-3]. Individuals who eat breakfast show better health overall than those who skip breakfast as they consume more essential nutrients and dietary fiber; moreover, they also have better academic achievement as breakfast improves their memory [2]. In addition, skipping breakfast is correlated with obesity and abnormal menstruation and increases the risk of anemia caused by iron deficiency, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and mortality [3-6]. As adolescence is the period during which individuals grow physically and mentally at a rapid pace, breakfast is critical in terms of providing nutrients. In particular, skipping breakfast during adolescence may contribute to the development of eating habits associated with chronic disease in adulthood.

Thermobaric Processes Both Drive and Constrain Seasonal Ventilation in Deep Great Slave Lake, Canada

The contrasting roles of seasonal stratification and seasonal ventilation are among the most important attributes of lake systems in defining their geochemistry, biology and response to climate forcing. The physical processes that regulate these processes are especially significant in very deep lakes, where the joint effect of temperature and pressure on water density becomes important. Here we report on a year‐long time series (2019–2020) of temperature from a mooring deployed in seasonally ice covered and dimictic Great Slave Lake (614 m depth). Because the temperature of maximum density (TMD) decreases with increasing pressure, once ∼4°C water begins to sink, it is no longer at its depth‐specific maximum density and additional processes are required to drive convection and convective mixing. The key physical mechanism governing deep‐water renewal is the conditional thermobaric instability. We show here that (a) different temperature dynamics control the quantity and timing of convective renewal in the upper ∼200 m versus deep‐water renewal below; (b) fall and spring deep‐water renewal events are asymmetric and linked to weather during the brief time of ice forming (melting) and surface temperatures cooling (warming) through 4°C; (c) short term variability (days to weeks) related to the length of time between surface waters passing through TMD and ice formation (fall) and melt (spring) shapes the subsequent thermal structure; and (d) the penetration of solar radiation through ice in early spring drives penetrative convection in the upper layer, deepening the mixed‐layer, and this likely affects the timing of spring phytoplankton production.

Non-Performing Loans and Protability of the Nigerian Commercial Banks

This study examined the extent to which non-performing loans affect commercial bank protability, and to suggest measures toward mitigating their impact on the banking sector in Nigeria. Data on a sample of 18 commercial banks, covering rst quarter of 2014 to fourth quarter of 2018 were analysed using the panel xed effect and auto-regressive distributed lag models. Empirical results showed a negative, and statistically signicant impact of nonperforming loans on banks' protability. Most of the coefcients of other determinants of bank protability were in line with apriori expectations. The study showed that lower bank protability can be explained by higher volume of non-performing loan, increased liquidity ratio and ination, while higher protability could be as a result of increase in bank size and capital adequacy ratio. Based on the ndings, the study advised the need for the risk management team of banks to strengthen their credit management strategies, and consider offering professional advice to the loan customers on passible ways of efciently investing their loan to ensure the needed return on investment is attained.
