The Janus Face of Organizational Knowing

This article challenges our current understanding of the role of knowing for organizational participation by discussing how, and under which circumstances, knowing hinders participation instead of fostering it. Drawing upon 18 months of fieldwork at a social impact accelerator, I first show that showing that the knowing emerging from collective practices and interactions generates disengagement among actors. Second, I illuminate the role of the social relations for actors to imbue their experience of new meanings and, third, develop a model of “meaningful reengagement” explaining how they retain their participation beyond the negative implication of knowing for participation. This article advances existing knowing research by bringing to the fore the role of relational patterns for participation, strengthening its relational but underdeveloped ambition, and providing insights for research on business accelerators and practitioners alike.
Emerging threat of candida resistance among neonates at a teaching institute of Jharkhand

Purpose: In the past few decades, candidemia has escalated to worrisome levels, leading to substantial morbidity and mortality in neonates. The rise in anti-fungal drug resistance demands prompt diagnosis and treatment. This study aimed to determine the speciation and susceptibility pattern of Candida species recovered from special care new-born units and identify risk factors for developing candidemia in neonates. Method: A total of 580 blood samples from clinically suspected septicemic neonates were collected and subjected to culture. Cultures positive for yeasts were sub-cultured on Sabouraud dextrose agar. Identification of a suspected purified colony of Candida was confirmed to the species level by both conventional and automated techniques matrix-assisted laser desorption and ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Anti-fungal susceptibility of isolates was performed by an automated method (VITEK 2 system) using VITEK 2 cards. Multi-variate logistic regression analysis was used to identify risk factors associated with candidemia. Result: A total of 56 (9.66%) isolates of Candida species were recovered from 580 blood cultures. Non-albicans Candida species predominated with 82.14% of cases, whereas 17.86% of cases were caused by Candida albicans. Candida tropicalis (46.42%) was the most common isolate recovered, followed by Candida albicans (17.8%). Risk factor analyses identified a very low birth weight [odds ratio (OR) =4.05, 95% confidence interval (CI) =2.03–8.08] and prolonged antibiotic therapy (OR = 3.79, 95% CI = 1.7–8.7) among others as significant predictors of candidemia. All the Candida isolates showed 100% sensitivity to voriconazole and micafungin, whereas the overall sensitivities for fluconazole, amphotericin B, caspofungin, and flucytosine were 85.71%, 96.43%, 96.43%, and 91.07%, respectively. Conclusion: Candidemia is a life-threatening condition in neonates. Identification of Candida species and routine anti-fungal susceptibility is a must to select a suitable and effective anti-fungal therapy to revoke emerging resistance to anti-fungals.
Use of a Waste-Derived Linde Type-A Immobilized in Agarose for the Remediation of Water Impacted by Coal Acid Mine Drainage at Pilot Scale

A new adsorbent based on an immobilized waste-derived LTA zeolite in agarose (AG) has proven to be an innovative and efficient alternative for removing metallic contaminants from water impacted by acid mine drainage (AMD) because the immobilization prevents the solubilization of the zeolite in acidic media and eases its separation from the adsorbed solution. A pilot device was developed containing slices of the sorbent material [AG (1.5%)–LTA (8%)] to be used in a treatment system under an upward continuous flow. High removals of Fe2+ (93.45%), Mn2+ (91.62%), and Al3+ (96.56%) were achieved, thus transforming river water heavily contaminated by metallic ions into water suitable for non-potable use for these parameters, according to Brazilian and/or FAO standards. Breakthrough curves were constructed and the corresponding maximum adsorption capacities (mg/g) (Fe2+, 17.42; Mn2+, 1.38; Al3+, 15.20) calculated from them. Thomas mathematical model was well fitted to the experimental data, indicating the participation of an ion-exchange mechanism in the removal of the metallic ions. The pilot-scale process studied, in addition to being highly efficient in removing metal ions at toxic levels in AMD-impacted water, is linked to the sustainability and circular economy concepts, due to the use as an adsorbent of a synthetic zeolite derived from a hazardous aluminum waste.
Frequency Response of RC Propellers to Streamwise Gusts in Forward Flight

The RC propeller performance under steady and sinusoidally time-varying freestream (stream-wise or longitudinal gust) was investigated in the University of Dayton Low-Speed Wind Tunnel (UD-LSWT) in the open-jet configuration. The propellers were tested at varying incidence angles and reduced frequencies. The streamwise gust was created by actuating the shuttering system located at the test section exit and was characterized using hot-wire anemometry. A system identification model was developed for the shuttering system to determine the shutter actuation profile that would result in a sinusoidal gust in the test section. Changes in propeller thrust, power, and pitching moment were observed with an increase in propeller incidence angle under the steady freestream. The propeller’s steady freestream performance was then used to predict response under periodic streamwise gusts in edgewise flight. Below a reduced frequency of 0.2, the propeller response agrees with the prediction model, suggesting that the propeller response is quasi-steady. At reduced frequencies higher than 0.2, a reduction in mean thrust and pitching moment and significant phase lag was observed.
Mental Health and Well-being of PhilHealth Frontline Workers

Background: The mental health and well-being of PhilHealth frontline workers were investigated to inform decision-makers and organizations in developing policies and programs to promote welfare of employees, thereby subsequently improving productivity and service delivery. Objectives: The study aimed to describe the demographic profile of participants and their level of mental health and well-being as well as to determine if a significant relationship exists between the said variables. Methodology: This is descriptive research that gathered respondents’ socio-demographic data. The target population was PhilHealth frontline workers all over the Philippines. Two existing self-report scales were used to measure the mental health and well-being of respondents. Statistical tools were then used to interpret data. Results: The majority of demographic factors were related to mild anxiety levels. The mean scores suggest that ages 20-29 are more anxious than those aged 50 and above. Other findings noted that the position title of Administrative Aide III and place of assignment in PhilHealth Regional Office II and XII showed a severe level of anxiety. Mean scores also showed mild anxiety as the length of years working in the corporation increased. In conclusion, age, years in service and place of assignment have a significant negative impact on participants’ mental health. Conclusion: In conclusion, age, years in service and the place of assignment were the variables found to have a statistically recognizable impact on mental health and well-being of PhilHealth frontline workers. These findings were considered in proposing Mental Health Programs for PhilHealth employees. Key words: Mental Health, Well-being, Frontliner, PhilHealth
Systemic Antibiotic Therapy in Hidradenitis Suppurativa: A Review on Treatment Landscape and Current Issues

Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic, recurrent, and inflammatory skin disease characterized by painful, deep-seated, nodules, abscesses, and sinus tracts in sensitive areas of the body, including axillary, inguinal, and anogenital regions. Antibiotics represent the first-line pharmacological treatment of HS because of their anti-inflammatory properties and antimicrobial effects. This narrative review summarizes the most significant current issues on the role of systemic antibiotics in the management of HS, critically analyzing the main limits of their use (antibiotic resistance and toxicity). Although, in the last decades, several cytokines have been implicated in the pathomechanism of HS and the research on the use of novel biologic agents in HS has been intensified, antibiotics remain a valid therapeutic approach. Future challenges regarding antibiotic therapy in HS comprise their use in association with biologics in the management of acute flare or as a bridge therapy to surgery.
Flux–gradient relationship, self‐correlation and intermittency in the stable boundary layer

The correlation between dimensionless shear ϕm and dimensionless height z/L, where L is the Obukhov length, for stable conditions is strongly influenced by self‐correlation for the present datasets. This effect is quite large for stronger stability but still significant for near‐neutral conditions. A conditional analysis of nocturnal stable boundary‐layer data, where ‘non‐turbulent’ parts of the record are removed, reduces the impact of nonstationarity and therefore reduces the scatter. The conditional analysis also reduces the relative importance of self‐correlation. Difficulties with estimating self‐correlation are also discussed. Copyright © 2004 Royal Meteorological Society
Analysis of dynamic characteristics of a sealed ends squeeze film damper considering the fluid inertia force

In order to eﬀectively calculate dynamic characteristics of a sealed ends squeeze ﬁlm damper (SFD) under the inﬂuence of the inertial force, a computational ﬂuid dynamics model of the sealed ends SFD is established. The ﬂuid inertia coeﬃcient of SFD is investigated by using an energy approximation method. Both the theoretical calculation and numerical simulation are conducted to analyze the eﬀects of eccentricity ratio and whirling frequency on stiﬀness and damping. In this research, the oil ﬁlm inertia force of the sealed ends SFD is solved by using long bearing approximation (LBA) theory, which provides guidance for the design and application of the sealed ends SFD.
Fission yield studies with SPIG-equipped IGISOL : a novel method for nuclear data measurements

Karvonen, Pasi Fission yield studies with SPIG-equipped IGISOL: A novel method for nuclear data measurements Jyväskylä: University of Jyväskylä, 2010, xii + 158 pp. Department of Physics, University of Jyväskylä, Research Report 7/2010. ISBN (pdf) 978-951-39-4025-6 ISBN (paper copy) 978-951-39-4024-9 ISSN 0075-465X This thesis work consists of two sections. In the first section, the development of a so-called Laser Ion Source Trap (LIST) device is described. The LIST device is based on a double SPIG (SextuPole Ion Guide) system, providing the possibility to improve the elemental selectivity of the IGISOL method via highly discriminative laser ionization occurring outside the ion guide. The improved selectivity enables the production of isotopically pure beams. The double SPIG can be used without laser ionization and replaces the conventional skimmer electrode. In this work, the SPIG is compared to the skimmer and is shown to remarkably improve both the efficiency and beam quality of the IGISOL facility. The second section introduces a novel method for isotopic fission yield measurements. Accurate fission product yield data are important in many fields of physics. Previous experimental techniques are either limited to certain mass regions of the fission products, or lead to inaccurate and/or time consuming yield deduction. The technique described in this work is a successful combination of the universal IGISOL method and an unambiguous isobaric purification of the JYFLTRAP facility. This combination is able to provide pure samples of almost any isotope produced in fission. These samples are directly counted using a highly sensitive MCP detector, significantly shortening the measurement time as compared to traditional detection methods such as a -spectroscopy.

RNA was extracted using MagNa Pure 96 DNA and Viral NA Small Volume Kit (Roche, Switzerland) for TaqPath analysis (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA).
Corporate Governance, Voluntary Disclosure, Earning Quality, Information Asymmetric: A Conceptual Framework

There are many factors in financial markets that have different levels of understanding and knowledge in managing available information. With this condition, actors/participants, especially investors, will be informed differently, or there will be information asymmetry in the financial market. This study aimed to develop a conceptual framework that investigates and provides a systematic understanding of the relationship between profit quality, voluntary disclosure, and information asymmetry as single and interaction effects. Furthermore, the study explains the role of corporate governance implementation on the quality of earnings and voluntary disclosure. The explanation of the relationship between the variables studied is based on agency theory with a literature review related to earning quality, voluntary disclosure, information asymmetry, and corporate governance. This conceptual framework illustrates the impact of earning quality and voluntary disclosure on information asymmetry and the role of the interaction between earnings quality and voluntary disclosure of information asymmetry. The results of the literature review present five prepositions that can be formulated in hypotheses to be confirmed. In conclusion, this framework allows researchers and practitioners to investigate further the relationship between variables intended in this research model.
Can Entrepreneurship Education and Personality Encourage Students to Become Entrepreneurs?

ABSTRACT Entrepreneurs are business people who remarkably contribute to the country's economic growth. The growing intention and interest in entrepreneurship will create new jobs, innovative products, and services. Entrepreneurial intent is essential in motivating students to pursue careers as entrepreneurs in their professional lives. This study aims to understand students' entrepreneurial intentions by analyzing the influence of entrepreneurship education and personality. Moreover, the conceptual framework built in this study used the theory of planned behavior (TPB) integrated with entrepreneurship education and individual personality. Data were collected using purposive sampling of students of the undergraduate entrepreneurship program. The structural equations were tested using WarpPLS software. The findings revealed that education regarding entrepreneurship and personality impacts subjective norms and attitudes. Furthermore, all the elements of the theory of planned behavior influence entrepreneurial intention. As a result, entrepreneurship education programs should cover management courses to improve business competency and develop positive emotions toward entrepreneurship.
Effects of aspect ratio and concentration on rheology of epoxy suspensions containing model plate-like nanoparticles

Hexagonal 2-dimensional α-zirconium phosphate crystals were prepared with lateral diameters ranging from 110 nm to 1.5 μm to investigate the effect of particle size on suspension rheology. The nanoplatelets were exfoliated to individual sheets with monodisperse thickness and dispersed in a Newtonian epoxy fluid. The steady shear response of dilute and semi-dilute suspensions was measured and compared to expressions obtained from theory for infinitely dilute suspensions. For suspensions containing the smaller nanoplatelets, aspect ratio ∼160, the low shear rate viscosity and transition to shear thinning behavior were well described by theory for loadings up to 0.5 vol. %. The agreement was improved by assuming a moderate polydispersity in lateral diameter, ∼30%–50%, which is consistent with experimental observation. For the higher aspect ratio nanoplatelets, good agreement between theory and experiment was observed only at high shear rates. At lower shear rate, theory consistently over-predicted viscosity, which was attributed to a progressive shift to non-isotropic initial conditions with increasing particle size. The results suggest that at a fixed Peclet number, there is an increasing tendency for the nanoplatelets to form transient, local stacks as particle size increases. The largest particles, aspect ratio ∼2200, showed unusual shear thinning and thickening behaviors that were attributed to particle flexibility. The findings demonstrate the surprising utility of theory for infinitely dilute suspensions to interpret, and in some cases quantitatively describe, the non-Newtonian viscosity of real suspensions containing high aspect ratio plate-like particles. A simple framework is proposed to interpret deviations from ideal behavior based on the local and collective behavior of the suspended nanoplatelets.
Entrenchment Effect and Corporate Governance: Audit Quality Analysis

This study aims to examine the effect of entrenchment effect and corporate governance on audit quality as measured by accrual quality. This study uses manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2018-2020 as a sample. The final sample of this study was 39 companies with a total of 117 observations. This study uses multiple linear regression as the method of analysis. The results of this study provide evidence that the entrenchment effect has a positive effect on audit quality. The results also show that when the company faces a high entrenchment effect from the controlling shareholder, the company still appoints a high-quality auditor to reduce agency conflict and to maintain the company’s reputation. This study also shows that corporate governance has a negative effect on audit quality. The findings of this study indicate that the controlling shareholder will choose a public accounting firm with high audit quality. This is done with the aim of giving a signal to non-controlling shareholders that the controlling shareholders have concern for them.
Mixed / -Control of Discrete-Time Markovian Jump Linear Systems

In this paper we consider the mixed / -control problem for the class of discrete-time linear systems with parameters subject to Markovian jump linear systems (MJLS's). It is assumed that both the state variable and the jump variable are available to the controller. The transition probability matrix may not be exactly known, but belongs to an appropriate convex set. For this controlled discrete-time Markovian jump linear system, the problem of interest can be stated in the following way. Find a robust (with respect to the uncertainty on the transition Markov probability matrix) mean-square stabilizing state and jump feedback controller that minimizes an upper bound for the -norm, under the restriction that the -norm is less than a prespecified value . The problem of the determination of the smallest -norm is also addressed. We present an approximate version of these problems via linear matrix inequality optimization.
The flow of ideas: shared symbolism during the Neolithic emergence in Southwest Asia: WF16 and Göbekli Tepe

Abstract During the Late Epipalaeolithic and Early Neolithic, societies across the Levant transformed their social, cultural and economic organisation, with new forms of food production, architecture and material culture. But to what extent were regional developments connected and how, in particular, did ideas and objects flow between the most southern and northern reaches of Southwest Asia? Finds from the Pre-Pottery Neolithic site of WF16 in southern Jordan resonate with those from Göbekli Tepe and other sites hundreds of kilometres to the north. Emphasising shared symbolism and ideology, the authors explore how connections may have arisen and how they were maintained, revealing expansive social networks spanning Southwest Asia that underpinned the emergence of farming.
