Marketing involvement in product platform creation: The role of personal and structural coordination mechanisms

Integrating market knowledge in the architecture of product platforms can be a challenge for firms. In this study, we draw on knowledge-based theory to propose the importance of bilateral knowledge: a marketer's knowledge of product platforms and a platform architect's knowledge of the market opportunity for securing marketing involvement and platform success. Along with these two personal coordination mechanisms, we examine the impact of a marketing department's level of product platform knowledge as a structural coordination mechanism and account for its moderating effects on these personal mechanisms. To test our model, we conducted a survey at a multinational electronics company, with the architects of product platforms as key informants. Our results show that an architect's knowledge of market opportunities for the product platform fuels marketing's involvement and improves financial performance, as does the marketer's knowledge of product platforms, although this is entirely mediated by marketing's involvement. A marketing department's product platform knowledge has a strong, direct and moderating impact; it acts as a substitute for the individual marketer's personal knowledge, yet enhances the impact of the architect's knowledge of the market opportunity. Therefore, innovation managers are advised to foster their marketing department's understanding of product platforms.

Interim Prosthesis for Repositioning of Mandible in a Hemimandibulectomy Patient: A Case Report

Background: Squamous cell carcinoma is prevalent in middle asia due to prevalence of tobacco chewing. Management includes removal of mandibular bone along with adjacent muscles and nerves. Mandible is attached to cranium with the support of muscles. Removal of muscles results in deviation of mandible and loss of occlusion, which is necessary for functions such as chewing, swallowing and to some extent in speech. Prosthetic appliances help in restoration of position of mandible and thus restoring the function. Case Report: This is a case of 58 year old male with hemimandibulectomy due to moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. Treatment Plan: Interim guiding prosthesis was planned for mandibular repositioning as the patient did not report before the surgical excision. Conclusion: a definitive management would be undertaken by using cast partial dentures after mandibular repositioning with interim prosthesis is done.

LEAF AND FRUIT CHARACTERISTICS AND GENETIC DIVERSITY OF WILD FRUIT Cerasus prostrata GENOTYPES COLLECTED FROM THE CENTRAL ANATOLIA, TURKEY

Cerasus prostrata (Lab.) Ser. is quite widespread in some regions of Turkey. It is a wild and deciduous fruit species. The species is commonly encountered in Central Anatolia over the foothills of Erciyes Mountain. In this study, some fruit and leaf characteristics of 30 C. prostrata genotypes collected from the foothills of Erciyes Mountain were determined and genetic diversity among them was presented. Fruit weights of the genotypes varied between 0.66–0.23 g and fruit flesh ratios varied between 84.59–63.11%. Leaf width, leaf length and petiole lengths of the genotypes respectively varied between 1.61–0.68 cm; 4.02–1.82 cm and 0.60–0.28 cm. In genetic analyses, 17 ISSR primers were used and 115 bands were obtained. Of these bands, 98 were polymorphic. All genotypes were distinguished from each other. Relatively high variation was identified between the genotypes and similarity levels varied between 0.70–0.95. Current findings revealed significant information for the preservation and appraisal of C. prostrata. Further studies are recommended for breeding and protection of this species.
How Culture, Gender, Religion, Social Class, and Voyeurism Together Shape Individuals’ Eating Behaviors: A Discourse on Food Communication

Food is a way of communication that many of us aren’t often aware of because most of us think that we only consume food to satisfy our temporary hunger. However, food can, in fact, be approached from a semiotic perspective because it includes many signs such as culture, gender, religion, class, and voyeurism within. Therefore, food should be examined from a semiotic perspective just as Roland Barthes has said. Barthes claims that how the food appears on a plate, with which methods it has been prepared, how it is served, the way it is eaten with table manners, the senses that it creates all convey some meanings because they are all a combination of different sign systems which help people to communicate (Faber & Claramonte, 2017). Therefore, in this research paper, how consuming a type of food can actually shape an individual’s identity and how the discourse on food from many different angles, which are culture, gender, religion, class, and voyeurism, can be formed are discussed. (Fiske, 2003) mentions that people sharing the same codes and using the same semiotics systems will be able to look from the same perspective and will perceive signs in a similar way, so this is about the frame of reference that we use in communication because the reader uses her/his own experiences and emotions while giving a meaning.

Mental health of patients suffering from connective tissue diseases. Negative and positive concept and selected correlates.

OBJECTIVES The purpose of the research was to assess mental health of people suffering from connective tissue diseases, both in negative terms, i.e., the presence of disorders, and in positive terms - patients'well-being. Due to the specificity of connective tissue diseases, among others their unpredictable course and the pain that often accompanies patients, selected clinical and sociodemographic variables were included in the analyses. METHODS 101 people participated in the study, 81 women and 20 men aged 18 to 57 years, suffering from various connective tissue diseases. Some people completed questionnaires during support group meetings (38.6%), others via the internet. The HADS-M scale was used to examine indicators of mental health in negative terms, the PERMA-Profiler questionnaire was used to assess well-being (an indicator of mental health in positive terms), and the authors' own survey was used to obtain clinical and sociodemographic data. RESULTS Subjects suffering from connective tissue diseases are characterized by high severity of anxiety and depressive symptoms. Relationships between mental health and selected clinical and sociodemographic variables were observed, e.g., greater pain is associated with higher rates of anxiety and depression, and lower well-being; the level of well-being increases with age. CONCLUSIONS It is important to monitor the mental health of people with chronic somatic diseases, including connective tissue diseases, especially in young people at the initial period of the disease, suffering from severe pain, residents of villages and small towns where access to support is limited.
Contrasting Growth Response of Jack Pine and Trembling Aspen to Climate Warming in Quebec Mixedwoods Forests of Eastern Canada Since the Early Twentieth Century

Forest monitoring studies show contrasting trends in tree growth rates since the mid‐twentieth century. However, due to their focus on annual and decadal dynamics, they provide limited insight into the effects of long‐term climatic variability on tree growth. Here, we relied on a large tree‐ring dataset (∼2,700 trees) of two common North American shade‐intolerant tree species, trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) and jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lambert), to assess their lifespan‐long growth dynamics in the mixedwood forests of Québec. We also determined how the environmental conditions of the stands influenced tree growth. We observed a significant increase in the radial growth rate of trembling aspen during the study period, while the jack pine decline was not significant. Over the whole study region, the trees growing in sites with lower competition, and those at the lower sections of the terrain slope experienced more of the positive effects of temperature on growth rates. Our study suggests that the tree growth response to climate warming may be species‐specific and will vary across the boreal mixedwoods.
The Impact Evaluation of the Authority Delegation from the District Mayor to the Department of Investment and One-Stop Service (OSS) on Economic Performance in Indonesia

This paper examines the impact of authority delegations, both licence and non-licence, from the district mayor to the Department of Investment and One-Stop Service (OSS) in the local government on Indonesia's economic performance. This authority delegation may simplify the regulation in doing business in Indonesia and create a more favorable business environment required to promote economic performance. However, this paper finds that the authority delegation has no significant impact on economic performance. A plausible underlying argument is that there are some constraints in the implementation, such as a lack of skilled personnel and weak internal governance, which impede the efforts to simplify the business regulation setting. Also, in terms of the cultural aspect, there are risk aversion behavior and a flawed perspective on entrepreneurial activities in Indonesian society, which may flourish the informal sectors with low productivity and technology, hampering the effectiveness of such reform in boosting economic performance.
A NLP-based stylometric approach for tracking the evolution of L1 written language competence

: In this study we present a Natural Language Processing (NLP)-based stylometric approach for tracking the evolution of written language competence in Italian L1 learners. The approach relies on a wide set of linguistically motivated features capturing stylistic aspects of a text, which were extracted from students’ essays contained in CItA (Corpus Italiano di Apprendenti L1), the first longitudinal corpus of texts written by Italian L1 learners enrolled in the first and second year of lower secondary school. We address the problem of modeling written language development as a supervised classification task consisting in predicting the chronological order of essays written by the same student at different temporal spans. The promising results obtained in several classification scenarios allow us to conclude that it is possible to automatically model the highly relevant changes affecting written language evolution across time, as well as identifying which features are more predictive of this process. In the last part of the article, we focus the attention on the possible influence of background variables on language learning and we present preliminary results of a pilot study aiming at understanding how the observed developmental patterns are affected by information related to the school environment of the student
Foreign Direct Investment and Pollution: Evidence from Middle Income and Oecd Countries

In this study, we reexamine the impact of foreign direct investment inflows on carbon emissions in middleincome and OECD countries over the period 1992 – 2017. For that purpose, we employ a two-step system GMM dynamic panel data estimator controlling for endogeneity, omitted variable, and simultaneity biases in our panels. Employing a dynamic panel estimation methodology, we introduced some new findings and believe that these have important policy implications. The empirical results from the analyses show that FDI increases carbon emissions in middle-income countries and provide evidence of the pollution haven hypothesis in developing countries. Our findings suggest that FDI has a small halo effect on advanced economies. Our study also provides evidence of the Environmental Kuznets Curve hypothesis as we consistently find an inverted-U-shaped relationship between carbon emissions and per capita income across different panel samples. Policymakers planning to attract FDI in middleincome countries should do a cost-benefit analysis by considering its damage to the environment and its positive impact on economic growth.
Efficient Extraction of Radioactive Isotopes of Cobalt, Europium, Cerium, Strontium, and Copper From Aqueous Solutions

One of the most effective and simple methods of natural and wastewaters from heavy metals and radionuclides is a sorption extraction. Assorbents proposed the use of polymers, natural materials, and other oxides. Theparticles of iron oxide Fe2O3 and Fe3O4 are among the most promising materialsfor inorganic heavy metal ions and radionuclides from water bodies. Theiradvantage over other compounds is the lack of toxic effects on the human body,low cost, and ease of obtaining precursors.
