EFFECT OF CONTEXTUAL FACTORS ON ENTREPRENEURSHIP SUCCESS IN SOUTH AFRICA: APPLICATION OF TWO-WAY ANALYSIS OF VARIANCE DESIGN

The contributions of small businesses to growth and economic emancipation of developed and developing economies cannot be underestimated. Nonetheless, the 2019 publication of Global Entrepreneurship Monitor South Africa showed that the business discontinuance rate of 4.9% stood against the expected business ownership rate of 3.5% for the same year indicating that more businesses are been closed than continuity within the year under review. Furthermore, the report indicated that SMEs performed most of the businesses in 2019. This raises pertinent questions on the effects of capital and entrepreneurial skill on business performance. Thus, this article examines the effects of the twin contextual factors on the success of South African SMEs using Analysis of Variance technique (two-way design). Findings suggest the absence of a significant variance in the influence of Capital-Startup on Entrepreneurship Success for different levels of Entrepreneurship Skills. In-addition, results suggest, that there is a difference in Entrepreneurship Success scores for different levels of Capital-Startup and Entrepreneurship Skills, when the later and former are combined. Expanding finance opportunities available to SMEs should be a primary focus for policy makers in developing countries. This will foster the development and sustainability of SMEs. Furthermore, improving and leveraging SME skills should form part of a strategic vision supporting SMEs.
Early marginal bone loss around immediately loaded one-piece and two-piece dental implants following immediate or delayed loading. A prospective study

Aim This study was conducted to evaluate the marginal crestal bone loss around immediately loaded one-piece vs. two-piece dental implants associated with two different loading protocols during the first year after implant insertion. Materials and methods Eighty-six patients participated in the study; 90 dental implants (Zimmer Dental) were used. Of those, 30 were Tapered Screw Vent (TSV) implants with an immediate loading protocol (TSVi), 30 TSV with delayed loading (TSVd), and 30 were one-piece implants with an immediate loading protocol (OP). Crestal marginal bone loss in the coronal area of dental implants was evaluated radiographically at three months and one year post-implant insertion. Results Marginal bone loss was significantly higher after one year post-surgery compared to three months post-surgery in all the study groups. The mean values of marginal bone loss obtained by TSV implants were higher than those obtained with OP implants at both follow-up points. TSVd implants experienced the higher crestal marginal bone loss among all the study groups at both three months and one year. Conclusions Crestal marginal bone loss in the most coronal part of one-piece implants is significantly less than the marginal bone loss observed in tapered screw vent implants with either immediate or delayed prosthetic loading protocols with single implant crown rehabilitations. However, further studies with a longer observational time and larger sample are necessary.

Optimized k-Nearest Neighbor Search with Range Query

K-Nearest Neighbor search is used extensively in fields like computer vision, DNA specification, object recognition and many more. Online map applications are also used tremendously due to the advances in Geographic Information System (GIS) data. These geospatial objects can be retrieved by using spatial range query. In our proposed work we find the nearest neighbors across any query point q, using an over estimated value of k. The Range Query calculated area is used to estimate the number of k neighbors. If the initial value of k doesn’t reveal all the nearest neighbors inside R, the value of k is multiplied with a constant factor epsilon. In this way all the nearest neighbors inside R are retrieved with in 1 or 2 iterations. The computational complexity of the proposed algorithm turns out to be O(n), compared to the complexity of Density Based Range Query algorithm i.e., O log(n 2 + n). This makes our proposed algorithm a more optimized solution.
'Captivated by Liquidity' – Theoretical Traps and Practical Mazes

There is no uniform theoretical standpoint on the effects of changing interest rates and the role of money among economists. Though these disputes exercise a great influence on the economic policy measures adopted as well. For the management of the 2008 global financial crisis many central banks entered into forceful interest rate cuts to contribute to the revitalisation of the economy. The economic recession caused by the pandemic of 2020 again raises the issue how central banks can stimulate growth. In this study we deal with the liquidity trap issue attributed to Keynes. Keynes pointed out that there might exist a lower interest rate limit under which money demand becomes infinite. His conceptions put the foundations to the question, at what interest rate levels might the liquidity trap – a term coined later by Robertson – phenomenon become effective. He was followed by numerous renowned economists dealing with the conception. In this paper we are discussing the most important theoretical approaches – among others the views of Hansen, Hicks, Tobin, Patinkin, Krugman, Brunner and Meltzer and Eggertson. We provide an overview on the effects of low interest rate levels adopted by Japan, by the central banks of Japan, the USA and the ECB aimed at stimulating the economy. Based on the study it can be confirmed that central banks can contribute to economic growth keeping interest rates low and therewith fostering investment. Nevertheless, beyond keeping short-term interest rates low, it might be adequate to control interest rates of other maturities and, especially under deflationary expectations, central banks should express their prolonged commitment to low interest rates.
Mini Kirsch Edge Detection and Its Sharpening Effect

In computer vision, edge detection is a crucial step in identifying the objects’ boundaries in an image. The existing edge detection methods function in either spatial domain or frequency domain, fail to outline the high continuity boundaries of the objects. In this work, we modified four-directional mini Kirsch edge detection kernels which enable full directional edge detection. We also introduced the novel involvement of the proposed method in image sharpening by adding the resulting edge map onto the original input image to enhance the edge details in the image. From the edge detection performance tests, our proposed method acquired the highest true edge pixels and true non-edge pixels detection, yielding the highest accuracy among all the comparing methods. Moreover, the sharpening effect offered by our proposed framework could achieve a more favorable visual appearance with a competitive score of peak signal-to-noise ratio and structural similarity index value compared to the most widely used unsharp masking and Laplacian of Gaussian sharpening methods. The edges of the sharpened image are further enhanced could potentially contribute to better boundary tracking and higher segmentation accuracy.
Urinary risk factors for calcium oxalate urolithiasis in children with monosymptomatic enuresis

Introduction: A disturbed calcium-phosphate balance is an important issue for kidney stone formation in nephrolithiasis. Hypercalciuria (HC) has been proposed as an essential etiology of monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis (MNE). Objectives: We may suspect that patients with MNE may be at risk of stone formation hence the objective of this paper was to assess the risk in MNE children using Bonn Risk Index (BRI). Patients and Methods: The urinary work-up of 204 children (83 with MNE and 121 controls) included urinary calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg) and sodium (Na) excretion, Ca/creatinine ratio, BRI, ionized calcium (Ca2+), Mg/creatinine and Ca/citrate ratios, urinary citrates and oxalates (Ox). Results: Ca/creatinine and Mg/creat ratios were higher in the MNE group. There were no differences in Mg and Ca amount in urine and Mg/Ca ratio between MNE and the reference group. Both groups differed in Mg and Ca excretion per kg of body mass. MNE children differed from controls regarding BRI, Ox and urinary Ca2+. No differences in urinary citrate excretion nor Ca/citrate ratio between MNE and the controls were found. Correlations between factors important in the crystallization process in MNE children were recorded. Conclusion: MNE patients may be at risk of oxalate nephrolithiasis. Further studies to assess the role of the BRI and Ca/citrate ratio in predicting stone formation in MNE children are needed.
How is a Developer’s Work Measured? An Industrial and Academic Exploratory View

Software Project Management is an essential practice to successfully achieve goals in software development projects and a challenging task for Project Managers (PMs). Therefore, information about the developers’ work can be valuable in supporting the PMs’ activities. Several studies address this topic and suggest different strategies for obtaining such information. Given the variety of existing strategies, we need to know the state-of-the-art on the theme. This article presents the information used for supporting PMs in the application of project management practices, especially with regard to risk management and people management. Thus, we carried out an exploratory study using a Systematic Mapping Study (SMS). Contributions include the identification of 64 metrics, four information sources, and seven PM activities supported by the measurement of the developers’ work. Additionally, we interviewed four PMs to collect their personal opinion of how the metrics and activities reported by our SMS could help the project management in practice. Each PM considered a different set of metrics to support their activities, but none of them suggested new metrics (besides the 64 metrics identified in the SMS). Also, we presented aspects to explore the subject, indicating themes for possible new studies in the Software Engineering area.
Naming Culinary in Mandailing Society: A Culinary Linguistic Approach

This research involves a concept or meaning, a word or symbol and something that is referred to as the relation between the elements described in the 'meaning triangle' pioneered by Ogden and Richard. This research is expected to be a reference for the Mandailing community to find out the meaning and type of culinary with a qualitative descriptive method. Data collection techniques using Spradley's ethnographic model using interviews and participant observation methods. The results showed that there were 8 culinary names for the mandailing community.
The Effect of Adding Paraffin Wax to PVT Collector on Its Efficiency: A Practical Study

The efficiency of a PV plate is not more than 20% depending on its type, because more than 80% of the solar radiation falling on the PV panel is not converted into useful energy. In order to increase the PV efficiency, several studies have been conducted to convert it to a hybrid PVT system by adding a heat exchanger to its back surface. The present study involves a comparison of the thermal performance between a conventional PVT and a modified PVT collector containing a layer of paraffin wax on the heat exchanger. An experimental platform was established in the Iraqi city of Kirkuk (latitude 35.467 north and longitude 44.38 east) and experiments were conducted in February 2020 in two parts. The first part is an experiment without water circulation and the second part involves water circulation at a constant flow rate of 1 LPM. In the first part, the experiment result showed that paraffin wax caused a decrease in the electrical efficiency of the PV panel by 5.3% due to the temperature rise of the surface of the photovoltaic plate. On the other hand, the result of the second part of this study showed that the use of paraffin wax has an advantage in improving the total efficiency of the hybrid MPVT system, as it maintains its thermal efficiency of over 60% in periods after 12:00 p.m. as a result of storing thermal energy in the wax layer. Also, two mathematical relations were obtained that express the instantaneous efficiency for each collector.
dieta para tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus ) con inclusión de subproducto de aguacate

Since synthetic antioxidants have been questioned for their potential carcinogenic and teratogenic effects, interest has grown in aquaculture for alternatives of natural antioxidants used in diets. This study analyzed antioxidant properties of a diet for tilapia with the inclusion an avocado by-product (AP) paste. Avocado seed, skin and pulp, despite their proven antioxidant capacity, represent a great amount of waste in Mexico. We included four diets in this study: base diet 0 (BD), 10 (D10), 20 (D20) and 30 % (D30) of AP inclusion, and a commercial diet (CD) for comparison. 2,2’-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS•+), iron ion reduction (Fe III) and concentration of total phenolic compounds (TPC). An increasing pattern was observed both in antioxidant activity and TPC as the level of AP inclusion increased. In some determinations, CD showed the highest levels, which were attributed to the synthetic antioxidants added and undeclared in these formulations. Therefore, AP was considered a good option for its inclusion in aquaculture diets because of its antioxidant properties and the added value granted with its use.

The effects of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius) extract on thyroid gland activity in rats

Background and Objective: Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius) has a long history in traditional medicine. It contains a wide range of useful compounds such as flavonoids. In this study, the effect of safflower extract on thyroid gland activity was investigated. Materials and Methods: 60 male Wistar rats were studied in four groups. The negative control was left untreated while three experimental groups intra-peritoneally received 100, 200 and 300 mg/kg B.W. of safflower hydroalcoholic extract for 28 days. The serum levels of T3, T4, FT3, FT4 and TSH were measured by radioimmunoassay method on 14th and 28th days of study. Results: The findings showed that short-term use of the extract directly affects thyroid function as the levels of thyroid hormones are decreased significantly, whereas it has no significant effect on TSH since its mean serum concentration remained unchanged. The long-term use of this extract did not show any significant effect, confirming that during the long run, the negative feedback on the thyroid is removed and this gland becomes adapted to some effective compound (s) present in Safflower. Conclusion: The continuous short-term use of the safflower can decrease the level of thyroid hormones temporarily, while in the long term, it does not show the same effect.

Is it possible to measure social entrepreneurship?

This study defines and proposes a measurement scale for social entrepreneurship (SE) in its broadest sense. The broad definition of SE covers for-profit firms that use social aims as a core component of their strategy. By pursuing social aims, these firms can boost the value of their products or services for consumers or exploit new business areas. Under this broad definition of SE, profit-seeking and the pursuit of social aims converge, thereby revealing a form of SE that has received little attention in either theoretical or empirical research. To fill this research gap, the present study proposes a measurement scale to measure broad SE in firms. The process used to build the scale draws upon research by Churchill (1979) and DeVellis (1991) and combines the Delphi technique, a pre-test questionnaire and structural equation modelling. The main aim of this research is to develop a scale capable of measuring broad SE in firms. The theoretical basis for the scale is supported by an empirical study in the hotel sector. The scale provides a valid, reliable instrument for measuring broad SE in firms. The scale meets all sociometric properties required of measurement scales in the social sciences, namely dimensionality, reliability and validity.
Cash Management and Inventory Management as Company Performance Criteria in General Management Simulations

The Association for Business Simulations and Experiential Learning (ABSEL) has a long history of publishing articles related to evaluating company performance in general management simulations. One line of inquiry has addressed what types of company performance criteria should be used with profit, financials ratios, and stock price frequently being mentioned. The emphasis on these criteria in general management simulations is also evident from a review of three widely used simulations, which are designed for the senior-level capstone course. Micromatic (Anderson et al, 2019) uses seven performance criteria including profit, stock price, four others that are financials ratios and one measure which is more marketing related. The Business Policy Game (Cotter et al, 2017; Cotter and Fritzsche, 2016) provides two sets of criteria; however, one is a subset of the other so 17 variables are provided. These 17 variables include profit, three financial ratios, and stock price, as well as eight other measures that are financial, three that are marketing, and one that is production in nature. Capstone 2.0 (Capsim Management Simulations, 2020) uses a Balanced Scorecard approach with 18 variables identified (Kaplan and Norton, 1996). While the Balanced Scorecard groups the variables into four categories for comparison here, they have been identified as profit, stock price, six financial, six marketing and four operations. Table 1 lists the criteria for each of these simulations and indicates those that overlap among the simulations.

Exploring the potentials of selected bioactive compounds isolated from Piper guineense Schumach. & Thonn. leaf toward identification of novel pfDHFR and pfDHODH inhibitors as antimalaria agents

Present antimalarial drugs have been related to several adverse side effects, including headache, depression, nausea, and itchy skin. Thus, exploring bioactive compounds from a natural origin, which possess drug-like properties with no side effects, is of great importance. This study was designed to assess the molecular relations obtainable between piperine, pipercide, and piperlongumine compounds isolated from Piper guineense Schumach. & Thonn. leaf and targeted receptor linked to malaria Plasmodium falciparum dihydrofolate reductase (pfDHFR) and Plasmodium falciparum dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (pfDHODH) for antimalarial properties. The result showed that piperine (−8.3 kcal/mol) from P. guineense binds to pfDHFR with high affinity and low free energy than the other compounds and standard ligand pyrimethamine (−7.8 kcal/mol). In contrast, pyrimethamine (−8.4 kcal/mol) and pipercide (−8.3 kcal/mol) show a better binding affinity to pfDHODH. Hence, the results provided insights into the development of better piperine and pipercide as a replacement to present antimalarial agents, with further analysis worth considering.
Structuring advertising campaign costs considering the asymmetry of users’ interests

This work is devoted to the highly topical problem of structuring costs for contextual and targeted advertising on the Internet. The choice of the ad campaign financing structure is considered from the point of view of violating the principle of symmetry of user interest in ads. The purpose of this work is to develop a methodology for structuring advertising campaign costs based on cluster analysis, taking into account the asymmetry of user interest in advertising. The key feature of the research is the description of the possibility of using the asymmetry of user interest in application solutions, such as online advertising. The Gini coefficient is used as an indicator of the degree of imbalance in the manifestation of a feature in clustering, and the features of using the lift coefficient and the Lorentz curve to evaluate the effectiveness of contextual and targeted advertising for various groups of customers are also considered. Using the Gini index and cluster analysis, you can analyze the possibilities of increasing ad revenue and compare it with the absence of any policy for structuring advertising costs. Identifying such patterns in consumer groups allows you to identify the main directions of product development and customer interest in it. The method described here should be used to improve the effectiveness of banner advertising and clustering algorithms. This approach does not improve banner clickability, but allows you to implement an individual approach to advertising products with the current number of clicks and more effectively structure the cost of various types of advertising.
