Moral over matter – Organizational legitimacy construction through storytelling in entrepreneurial resource acquisition

The aim of this study is to contribute to a better understanding of the narrative strategies that entrepreneurs engage with in the process of legitimacy construction in the context of resource acquisition. This study has two main objectives. First, it aims to identify the types of narratives that new ventures present to investors in pursuit of resources. Second, it aims to show how these narratives contribute towards the emergence of organizational legitimacy and what specific types of legitimacy they construct. The study answers the call for research on how different modes of communication are used to exploit entrepreneurial opportunities. The research objectives are approached through a qualitative case study. The empirical data consists of ten video-recorded pitches by early stage technology startups that were selected among the top ten finalists of a pitching competition held during an international entrepreneurship and technology conference, Slush 2017 in Helsinki, Finland. The pitches are first analyzed through the lens of Greimas’ actantial model to identify the subjects, objects, senders, receivers, helpers and opponents in the stories. Second, the narratives of the pitches are analyzed through the lens of Suchman’s typology of organizational legitimacy to uncover the types of legitimacy pursued. The theoretical framework builds on four streams of literature: entrepreneurial resource acquisition, organizational legitimacy, storytelling, and the prior research on the use of narratives specifically in the context of entrepreneurship and organizational legitimacy construction. The analysis identifies three distinct types of narrative patterns that entrepreneurs construct in pitching for external resources: the socially conscious, the environmentally conscious and the economically conscious. The fourth identified type is a mix of the environmentally conscious and the economically conscious. With these narrative patterns, pitching entrepreneurs pursue all of the three types of organizational legitimacy to some extent. However, most of the entrepreneurs allocate a relatively small share of their pitch towards pursuing cognitive legitimacy and instead focus on building either moral legitimacy or pragmatic influence or disposition legitimacy through appearing as socially, environmentally or economically responsible. Most of the pitchers spend relatively little time on constructing pragmatic exchange legitimacy: assuring the audience of the favorable exchanges that investing in their venture would produce. The study contributes to research in the field of entrepreneurship by showing that most pitchers portray themselves as heroes with unique capabilities and resources for helping someone or something in need. The entrepreneurs are predominantly on a mission to make the world a better place– and only secondarily monetizing on their positive impact. In every story, technology is cast as an important helper of the heroes.
A Psychological Study of Adolescent Everyday Morality

ive and hypothetical abilities engendered by formal operational thinking (e.g., Elkind, 1975). J! 12~! :_hy__As a_Mot i ve ~_f_or Al truism Empathic distress has so far been viewed as having both a cognitive and an affective component. The interplay of these two components is discerned when Hoffman (1981b) notes that the affective and cognitive components are ''derived from the observer's cognitive sense of the other" (p. 51). Equally important, this enhanced cognitive capacity, in addition to fostering empathic distress, fosters in the observer a feeling of sympathetic distress (or what is generally termed compassion). The end result of the observer's awareness of the other and sympathetic distress is an inclination to respond prosocially. In addition to the cognitive and affective components of empathic distress and the concurrently felt state of sympathetic distress, Hoffman asserts that guilt exercises a special role in influencing the child's prosocial nature. In order to understand the child's guilt experience, the relationship of empathy and socialization requires brief discussion.

Improved Genetic Algorithm for Distribution System Performance Analysis by Taking Advantage of Essential Spanning Trees

Growing interest in the smart grid, increasing use of distributed generation, and classical distribution system reconfiguration (DSR) and restoration problems have led to the search for efficient distribution automation tools. One such tool, the improved Fast Nondominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (FNSGA), not only is effective in finding system configurations that are optimal with respect to voltages, currents, and losses, but also considered parametric study to determine minimum values of N and Gen. In this paper, the essential spanning tree concept is expanded to improve the computational efficiency of the algorithm. Results of the study show that for relatively small test systems, optimum system configurations are obtained using values of N and Gen that require very small CPU times. In larger systems, optimum values of N and Gen requiring reasonable CPU times can also be found, provided that certain carefully chosen branches are removed from the pool of possibilities when producing the initial population in the algorithm. By using essential trees, the efficiency of the calculation is improved.
5. Users’ privacy at online social networks in Indian context: comprehensive multiaged group survey and discussion

Nowadays, social media has become an important part of life. People across the world use social media for random purposes. They post their accomplishments, achievements, vacation photos and others on the social media. However, they do not often realize that they are attracting very serious incidents that can occur due to their posts. Online privacy is one of the crucial points to safeguard our personal information. However, protecting privacy in online social networks (OSNs) is challenging as OSNs follow the strategy “Take it or Leave it. ” Users need to provide information asked by the service providers in order to use the OSNs that may lead to compromise the users’ data privacy. To provide privacy-aware OSNs it is important to know user’s awareness about privacy. To achieve this, survey is conducted and from analysis of survey the user’s awareness and requirements of privacy-aware mechanism is presented in this chapter. Survey analysis shows that users of OSNs required to have trusted third party to manage their preferences and attributes to protect their privacy. Furthermore, user required new privacy law in Indian context and they need to hide their identity on OSNs.
In vitro UV-Visible and FTIR Spectroscopy Study of Low Power He-Ne Laser Irradiation on Human Blood

Laser irradiation has biostimulating effect in various cell types low power laser radiation is used clinically for skin and vascular disorders. Aims: To investigate the effect of (He-Ne) laser (λ= 632nm, power=1mW) on human whole blood, after irradiated to different times from 10 min to 50 min. Study Design: Human Whole Blood Irradiated to (He-Ne) laser(λ= 632nm, power=1mW). Place and Duration of Study: Soba Hospital, Khartoum- Sudan, Institute of Laser, Sudan University of science and technology (SUST), February 2018. Methodology: Blood samples were taken from healthy volunteers; blood sample irradiated to (He-Ne) laser and control compared; FTIR and UV-Vis spectrophotometer were used to study laser radiation effect Results: FTIR spectra and UV-vis absorption spectra of blood samples are compared before and after irradiated to He-Ne laser shows increases absorption for 10, and 40 min but it decreases as the exposure time at 30,20 and 50 minutes. This fluctuation of light absorption is known as a biphasic response. FTIR spectra of non exposed blood showed the peaks due to O-H (free group), C=O (amide I group), N=O (nitro group), and C-H (aromatic group). N-H (Amino acid (amide II). For all exposure time He-Ne laser (λ= 632nm, power=1mW) irradiation, showed significant changes. Increased in transmittance at different exposure time for all groups (C=O, O-H, N=O, C-O & C-H, N-H) and indicates significant decreasing in their concentration. Conclusion: The laser radiation causes changes in the structure and conformational changes in the polypeptide and absorption of blood samples decreased due to increasing ligand electronegativity.
SWEAT: Snow Water Equivalent with AlTimetry

Team Orange would like to thank FFG and ESA for organising the Summer School Alpbach 2016. Also thanks to all the tutors and lecturers guiding Team Orange towards this product, and a special thank to our team tutors. Abstract Snow Water Equivalent (SWE) is not directly measured by current satellite missions but has a significant impact on society and our lack of understanding contributes to significant inaccuracies in current estimations of hydrological and climate models, calculations of the Earth's energy balance (albedo) and flood predictions. To address this, the SWEAT (Snow Water Equivalent with AlTimetry) mission aims to measure SWE directly on sea ice and land in the polar regions above 60 • and below-60 • latitude. The primary scientific objectives are to (a) improve estimations of global SWE from passive microwave products and (b) improve numerical snow and climate models. The mission will implement a novel combination of Ka-and Ku-band radioaltimeter technology, each providing different snow penetration properties. Airborne Laser altimeter campaigns will shadow the satellite orbit path early, middle and late winter for the first two years of the mission to confirm Ka-Band surface measurement accuracies. The combined difference in signal penetration results will enable more accurate determination of SWE.Therefore, the SWEAT mission aims to improve estimations of global SWE interpreted from passive microwave products, and improve the reliability of numerical snow and climate models.
THE RELATION OF EXPORTS AND ECONOMIC GROWTH

SUMMARY Among economists there has generally been a lack of agreement as to the specific relation between exports and economic growth. The hypothesis presented here is that there is a causal relationship between the two, that this relationship is one of interdependence rather than of unilateral causation, but that it is mainly a rise in exports that stimulates an increase in aggregate economic growth rather than vice versa. There are strong logical and empirical grounds supporting the hypothesis. Rising exports provide the wherewithal for increased imports, so important to economic growth. Emphasis on exports helps concentrate investment in the more efficient sectors of the economy, thus raising productivity. Efficiency is aided further by production for international markets since this permits greater economies of scale and forces firms to hold down their costs in order to remain competitive in international markets. In addition, profitable export industries stimulate additional investment, encourage an increased flow of new technology and managerrial skills, and stimulate increased consumption. The hypothesis was also tested statistically. Multiple correlations and simple least-squares regression equations were calculated for a group of 50 countries using data on average rates of growth of per capita real G. N. P., of exports, and of earnings on current account during 1953-63. The results showed: 1. that the most significant correlation was between exports and G. N. P.; 2. that for every 2 1/2per cent increase in exports, per capita real G. N. P. showed a rise of 1 per cent; and 3. that this last relationship had a high degree of statistical reliability.
Fractured basement play development on the UK and Norwegian rifted margins

: Fractured crystalline basement reservoirs (basement) on the UK Continental Shelf (UKCS) and the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS) have been underexplored. Over the last 12 years, Hurricane Energy has deliberately set out to explore basement potential by exploring and appraising the Rona Ridge, West of Shetland; and the Rona Ridge Lancaster Field is now being progressed towards being the ﬁ rst UK basement ﬁ eld development. The Norwegian basement play is also recognized as a potentially material resource through serendipitous oil discoveries, with the 16 / 1-15 well, drilled in 2011, being the ﬁ rst successful full-scale basement test on the NCS. Building on this success, the 2018 Rolvsnes appraisal well (16 / 1-28 S) has demonstrated the signi ﬁ cant basement potential of the extensive Utsira High and con ﬁ rmed the materiality of a Norwegian basement play. The Rona Ridge and Utsira basement discoveries are used as a comparison with two other, yet to be evaluated, prospective basement plays on the NCS, with the objective of establishing technical subject areas where future UKCS and NCS collaboration would aid in accelerating understanding of the UKCS – NCS basement play.

A review:deep learning technique for image classification

The fundamental reason for the work exhibited in this paper, is to break down the idea of a deep learning algorithm to be specific, convolutional neural networks (CNN) in image classification. A study of deep learning, its strategies, comparison of frameworks, and algorithms is presented. The significance of (sufficient) training has been considered. The advancement has shown imperative execution in various vision assignments, for instance, image identification, question area and sementic division. In particular, late advances of deep learning procedures pass on asking execution to fine-grained image classification which intends to perceive subordinate-level classifications.
Entrepreneurial Motivations and Intentions: Investigating the Role of Education Major

– The purpose of this study is to explore the difference in entrepreneurial intentions, perceived entrepreneurial motivation, and cognitive profiles (attitudes towards entrepreneurship, perceived behaviour control, and subjective norms) between individuals who have participated in enterprise education programmes in the universities and those who have not. The paper also investigates the mediating role of attitudes towards entrepreneurship, perceived behaviour control, and subjective norms related to entrepreneurial motivation and the forming of entrepreneurial intentions. , – Survey information from 321 students from three universities in the Ukraine was hand collected. Hierarchical multiple regressions were used to test hypotheses. , – Individuals who participate in enterprise programmes tend to have higher entrepreneurial motivation and are more likely to become entrepreneurs. Empirical evidence shows that attitudes, subjective norms and perceived behaviour control mediate the relationship between perceived entrepreneurial motivation and entrepreneurial intentions. , – The study is based on data collected from three universities in one city. The implications for education managers related to the inclusion of enterprise courses into the study plans of engineering students are also discussed here. , – The findings have implications for the stimulation of student enterprise in transitional economies where attitudinal and resource (i.e. skill, competence and knowledge) deficiencies can retard enterprise. Entrepreneurial motivation is an important link between an intention and action. Enterprise education programs which stimulate entrepreneurial motivation should be offered to engineering students since many of them start ventures later. Engagement into enterprise development programs of engineering students might evoke earlier interest in self‐employment career path among young people. , – The article contributes to the field of entrepreneurial motivation and intentions. The study extends insights from the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) (i.e. subjective norms, attitudes toward this behaviour, and perceived behavioural control) by also considering the perceived entrepreneurial motivation profiles of students.
Higher-order explicit time integration methods for numerical analyses of structural dynamics

In this article, thirdand fourth-order accurate explicit time integration methods are developed for effective analyses of various linear and nonlinear dynamic problems stated by second-order ordinary differential equations in time. Two sets of the new methods are developed by employing the collocation approach in the time domain. To remedy some shortcomings of using the explicit Runge-Kutta methods for second-order ordinary differential equations in time, the new methods are designed to introduce small period and damping errors in the important low-frequency range. For linear cases, the explicitness of the new methods is not affected by the presence of non-diagonal damping matrix. For nonlinear cases, the new methods can handle velocity dependent problems explicitly without decreasing order of accuracy. The new methods do not have any undetermined algorithmic parameters. Improved numerical solutions are obtained when they are applied to various linear and nonlinear problems.
Biopsychosocial reserves and dementia: Identifying life span protective factors

Dementia is a neurocognitive disorder that negatively affects independence and significantly contributes to the global mortality rate. Alzheimer’s disease is the most pervasive type of dementia and is the sixth leading overall cause of mortality in the United States. Although the exact etiologies of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD) are not fully understood, research suggests that it may stem from genetic and environmental factors. There is currently is no cure for ADRD, thus, it would behoove the public health field to identify factors associated with brain health and cognitive performance so that individuals could modify their lifestyles across their life spans in an effort to strengthen cognitive reserves. As such, the current study focused on identifying life span biopsychosocial factors protective against cognitive decline and dementia. Specifically, this study used longitudinal data from the Kuakini Honolulu-Asia Aging Study (HAAS) to test three research aims. The HAAS provides biological and psychosocial data on 8,006 men of Japanese descent across 12 exams spanning from Exam 1 (1965-1968; Mage = 54.40, Rangeage = 45-68) to Exam 12 (2011-2012; Mage = 93.50, Rangeage = 91-106). Aim 1 employed growth curve models to examine biopsychosocial associates of cognitive performance over time [level and slope (changes across Exams 4-6)]. Results suggest that education was consistently and positively associated with baseline cognition as well the slope. There were several cognitive risk factors, indicating that older participants, those who had an APOE-ԑ4 allele, men with greater levels of inflammatory associates (e.g., uric acid, glucose), and those who reported more depressive symptoms at baseline tended to have poorer cognitive performance at baseline along with steeper declines in cognition over time. Aim 2 examined how patterns of cognitive performance were associated with age at ADRD diagnosis through
