The role of organisation structure in the success of start-up science and technology parks (STPs)

ABSTRACT Start-up STPs have a central initiative controlling the decision-making. In early maturity, better decision-making is required and decisions are best taken with the input of optimally two on-cluster firms; this ambidextrous situation is superior under all circumstances. Where poor-fit innovations abound and where the STP has been unable to attract large firms, retaining a hierarchical decision process is most helpful, even when the quality of decision-making is poor. This developmental trajectory will lead to market failure as size, and the seriousness of the concomitant potential losses, increases. With time, off-cluster firms move outward, inhabiting a band 4–7 km from the STP; their size remains modest and their innovation output is low. On-cluster firms are resilient to externalities; their innovation output is large and strongly correlated with social/networking expenditure. These new results are reviewed here as a contribution towards a “road map” to help STP decision-making and regional policy.
Kemijski sastav i profil masnih kiselina mlijeka alpske i sanske pasmine koza iz Bosne i Hercegovine

Interest in the production and sale of goat milk products has been growing over the past 20 years. The chemical composition of goat milk, which greatly affects its nutritional and therapeutic value, makes its products more acceptable to consumers. The aim of this study was to compare the chemical composition and fatty acid profile of Alpine and Saanen goat milk. The results showed that there were differences in certain chemical components between the milk of these two breeds. Protein, fat and ash content in Alpine goat milk was 4.53 g/100 g, 4.65 g/100 g and 0.94 g/100 g, respectively, and these values were higher than in Saanen goat milk (3.64 g/100 g, 3.20 g/100 g and 0.88 g/100 g, respectively). Differences in the fatty acid profile were also observed. Despite being kept under different breeding regimes, no statistically significant differences were observed in the total saturated fatty acids (SFA) or polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) between breeds. Although there was no difference in total SFA content, there was less palmitic acid (C16:0), as the predominant fatty acid in goat milk, in Alpine (26.94 g/100 g of fat) than in Saanen goat milk (28.60 g/100 g of fat). Unlike SFA and PUFA content, differences were observed in total monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA), with 22.8 g/100 g of fat in Alpine goat milk and 24.0 g/100 g of fat in Saanen goat milk. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the implemented breeding regimes in different geographical areas with different pasture, together with genetic factors of breeds, greatly affect the goat milk chemical composition and fatty acid profile.
A compact drain current model of short-channel cylindrical gate-all-around MOSFETs

A fully analytical potential model, valid in the weak inversion regime of short-channel cylindrical gate-all-around (GAA) MOSFET, is proposed. The model derivation is based on a previous analytical expression for tetragonal GAA MOSFET and the rotational symmetry of the tetragonal cross section. Device simulations were performed to verify that the potential distribution along the channel is properly described in all positions within the silicon body. Using the potential model, analytical expressions for the threshold voltage, subthreshold swing and drain-induced barrier lowering have been derived. Including the short-channel effects within an existing model for the subthreshold leakage current and an analytical drain current model of long-channel devices in strong inversion, a compact drain current model has been derived describing with good accuracy the transfer and output characteristics of short-channel GAA MOSFETs in all regions of operation.
Surface morphology, optical properties and sensing characteristics of ZnMeO ( Me - Mn, Co, Ni ) thin films

Zn1-xMexO (Me- Mn, Co, Ni) thin films were grown by pulsed laser deposition and rf magnetron sputtering methods. The composite targets were formed by mixing and pressing of ZnO, Mn3O4, CoO and NiO powders. The thin films were deposited on sapphire, quartz and glass substrates. The structure study confirms the formation of the hexagonal wurtzite ZnO without any secondary phase in transition metal (Mn, Co, Ni) - doped samples. The surface morphology of the thin films was studied using atomic force microscopy (AFM). Different surface morphology AFM images were obtained depending on the film composition and growth conditions. Optical absorption spectra suggest of substitution Zn2+ ions in ZnO lattice by transition metal atoms. The shift of the absorption edge due to decrease the energy band gap with increasing cobalt content and complex dependence of the energy band gap on content of nickel was observed in optical absorption spectra of the studied films.
High frequency Pound-Drever-Hall sensing of ring resonator cavities

This paper establishes a procedure for increasing the sensitivity of measurements in integrated ring resonators beyond what has been previously accomplished. This is achieved by a high-frequency phase modulation lock to the ring cavities. A prototyped fiber Fabry-Perot cavity is used for comparison of the method to a similar cavity. The Pound-Drever-Hall (PDH) method is chosen as a proven, ultra-sensitive method with the exploration of a much higher frequency modulation than has been previously discussed to overcome comparatively low finesse of the ring resonator cavities. The high frequency facilitates the use of the same modulation signal to separately probe the phase information of different, integrated ring resonators with quality factors of 5.6 x105 and 2.4 x105. The large free spectral range of small cavities and low finesse provide a challenge to sensing and locking the stability of diode lasers due to the small dynamic range and signal-to-noise ratios (S/N). This can be offset by a calculated increase in modulation frequency using the PDH approach. A distributed feedback (DFB) laser is locked to a ring resonator cavity to demonstrate this sensitivity. This approach using integrated ring resonators is measured to have a refractive index resolution of 1.9x10-8 that can be compared to other fiber and integrated sensors. The relationship between the signal-to-noise ratio and dynamic frequency range of the cavity error signal is explored with an algorithm to optimize this relationship. The free spectral range and the loss of the cavity provide input parameters to this relationship to determine the optimum S/N and range of the respective cavities used for locking and sensing. The purpose is to show how future contributions to the measurements and experiments of micro-cavities, specifically ring resonators, is well-served by the PDH method with high-frequency modulation.
Photocurable Shape-Memory Copolymers of ε-Caprolactone and L-Lactide

Biodegradable and photocurable block copolymers of e-caprolactone and L -lactide were synthesized by polycondensation of PLLA diol ( n = 10 000 g · mol -1 ), PCL diol ( n =1 0 000 g · mol -1 ), and a chain extender bearing a coumarin group. The effect of copolymer composition on the thermal and mechanical properties of the photocured copolymers was studied by means of DSC and cyclic tensile tests. An increase in Young's modulus and a decrease in the tensile strain with increasing PLLA content was observed for the block copolymers. Block copolymers with high PCL content showed good to excellent shape-memory properties. Random copolymers exhibited R f and R r values above 90% at 45 °C for an extremely large tensile strain of 1000%.
Contribution of Cultural Intelligence to Job Performance of Domestic Hotel Employees in Thailand: The Mediating Roles of communication Effectiveness and Job Stress

This study investigated the contributions of cultural intelligence (CQ) on job performance. Communication effectiveness and job stress were proposed as two competencies that mediated the linkage between cultural intelligence and job performance. Survey data were collected from 427 frontline employees working for domestic chain hotels in Thailand. The results computed from a partial least squares (PLS) regression analysis showed that communication effectiveness and job stress mediated the linkage between cultural intelligence and job performance of the frontline hotel employees. The results also showed that communication effectiveness negatively and partially mediated the relationship between CQ and job stress, and job stress positively and partially mediated the relationship between communication effectiveness and job performance of the frontline hotel employees. The findings indicate that CQ can improve frontline hotel employees' job performance by increasing their communication effectiveness and reducing their job stress.
Effect of tillage practices and hay straw on ammonia volatilization from nitrogen fertilizer solutions

Urea (U) fertilizer solutions applied on soil surface lose nitrogen through ammonia (NH3) volatilization, and such losses may be influenced by tillage practices and by the presence of crop residues. Ammonia measurements in corn (Zea mays L.) fields were initiated and continued for 9 d in July 1988 and 1989 to assess the effects of three tillage practices used in corn production (conventional, CT; reduced, RT; and zero tillage, ZT) and urea-ammonium nitrate (UAN) formulations on the volatilization of NH3 from UAN solutions. The UAN formulations were 33% U — 67% ammonium nitrate (AN) and 50% U — 50% AN. These UAN formulations indicate proportion, as percentage, of total N derived from U and AN, respectively. The experiments were conducted on two agricultural soils of Quebec [Macdonald sandy loam (Humic Gleysol), and St. Benoit sandy loam (Eutric Brunisol)]. Cumulative NH3 losses over 9 d ranged from 0.8 to 9.5% of applied N. On both soils, NH3 losses from 50–50 UAN were higher than the 33–67 UAN by 13.5, 14.
The cholesterol paradox in atrial fibrillation: results from the LIPIDOGRAM 2015 study

High blood lipid levels are known risk factors for atherosclerotic cardiovascular events, but associations between lipid levels and atrial fibrillation (AF) are unclear. Some previous studies have suggested an inverse association between lipid levels and AF referred to as the “cholesterol paradox”. To examine the prevalence of AF by differing lipid levels in a large population-based study of almost 14,000 adults in Poland. The LIPIDOGRAM 2015 study is a cross-sectional study of adults aged 18 years and older recruited in Poland in 2015/2016 by 438 family physicians. Poisson regression models with robust variance were used to estimate prevalence ratios (PRs) for AF with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for participants with differing lipid profiles. Lipid measures including low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC) and LDL/HDL ratios were grouped into quartiles with the lowest quartile as the reference group. Models were adjusted for potential confounding factors including age, sex, waist-to-hip ratio, smoking, alcohol intake, regular physical activity, hypertension, antihypertensive medication use and treatment of dyslipidaemia. 13,724 participants were recruited to the study, the median (interquartile range: IQR) age was 58.0 (47.7–65.8) years and 5.2% (n=708) had a diagnosis of AF, with a median (IQR) 3 (1–8) years since diagnosis. After adjusting for potential confounding factors, a statistically significant lower prevalence of AF was estimated for participants in the highest quartile for LDL-C (PR (95% CI): 0.60 (0.48, 0.75) p<0.001), HDL-C (0.58 (0.46, 0.74), p<0.001), TC (0.61 (0.49, 0.75), p<0.001) and LDL/HDL ratio (0.75 (0.61, 0.94), p=0.010). No statistically significant difference in prevalence of AF was observed for participants in the highest quartile for TG levels compared to the lowest quartile for TG levels. The prevalence of AF was lower for people with higher levels of LDL-C, HDL-C, TC and higher LDL/HDL ratios; some of the difference in prevalence was explained by controlling for confounding factors, but in multivariable models the association remained statistically significant. This research adds to the body of evidence which suggests an inverse relationship between cholesterol levels and AF-the “cholesterol paradox” for AF. Type of funding source: None
How CSR Affects Polish Enterprises

Purpose: The article refers to the assessment of the activities of enterprises within CSR, according to the classification adopted in the Carroll’s pyramid model. Research on CSR issues in this approach has been conducted since the 1980s and is usually addressed to the top management. Design/Approach/Methodology: This article is based on research on the attitude to CSR activities of managers / employees at the operational level; in this way we endeavour to fill a certain cognitive gap. The research included a representative sample of large and mediumsized enterprises in Poland, including representativeness by economy sectors. Findings: The research results point to a different hierarchy of CSR domains than that suggested by the Carroll’s pyramid (and most of the results of previous research addressed to the top management). The highest rated by respondents was legal responsibility, before ethical, and only third place was taken by economic responsibility. Practical Implications: The research results could be useful for managers responsible for CSR impleneting and developing. Originality/Value: The article contributed to filling the cognitive gap regarding priorities declared by CSR managers, i.e. persons implementing CSR activities on behalf of enterprises in practice. The research results indicate that the respondent's job position (the scope of duties related to CSR) and the economic sector they represent have the greatest impact on the valuation of individual areas of CSR, while the size of the enterprise has a weak impact.
Tactics of interfacing: Encoding affect in art and technology

black beauty queens or queer collectives. Rather than viewing vernacular photographs as static, anonymous objets d’art that celebrate the vision of their collectors, the scholars in this volume ask what the photographs do in their particular conditions of production and circulation. It asks its scholars to consider their ethical responsibilities to the images, and the extent to which their research may contribute to inequality. As Wexler reflects, in relation to a recent legal case brought against Harvard by a descendant of a slave sitter in a daguerreotype in the university’s collection, the incarcerated and enslaved, by definition, could not give consent to be depicted. Scholars and collectors who engage with these images must reflect on their complicity as these images become deracinated as ‘vernacular photographs’ in their afterlives.

Fluorometric Determination of Vanillin with 4,5-Dimethyl-o-phenylenediamine

A simple and sensitive fluorometric method for the determination of vanillin is described. Vanillin gave an intense blue fluorescence (excitation maximum at 337 nm and emission maximum at 400 nm) in an alkaline medium after reaction with 4,5-dimethyl-o-phenylenediamine in an acidic medium. Vanillin was determined in the range of 1 -2000 ng ml^-1, and the relative standard deviation at 10 ng ml^-1 vanillin was 1.80% (n=10). The fluorescent product from the vanillin was identified as 2-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole by comparison with the authentic sample separately synthesized. The application of this fluorometric method to other aldehydes was examined.
RDSSD: Refinement Deconvolutional Single Shot Detector

The main contribution of this paper is a refinement for deconvolutional single shot detector. Our model is called refinement deconvolutional single shot detector (RDSSD). In the field of object detection, most two-stage detectors are more accurate than one-stage detectors. We use its advantages to optimize deconvolutional single shot detector. Compared with DSSD, RDSSD mainly changes two parts: the anchor fine-tuning module and the specific detection module. The anchor fine-tuning module adjusts the scale and size of the anchors. The optimized anchors are used as the input of specific detection module and accurately detect the objects. By adding these two structures, a large number of negative samples are filtered out before the specific identification, and the size of the anchors is roughly adjusted, which helps detect confusing objects. RDSSD adds the loss of the fine-tuning anchor module and the loss of the specific detection module to get the total loss. This makes our method end-to-end. We use Pascal VOC2007 and Pascal VOC 2012 datasets to train the model. Our RDSSD with 320×320 input achieves 79.3 mAP on VOC 2007.
High-Efficiency Unipolar Charger for Sub-10 nm Aerosol Particles Using Surface-Discharge Microplasma with a Voltage of Sinc Function

Our group developed a high-performance unipolar charger for sub-10-nm particles using a surface-discharge microplasma by increasing the charging time and minimizing the electrostatic deposition loss of the charged particles. An investigation of the discharge voltages of various discharge voltage waveforms demonstrated that a sinc function of time, t, that is, (sin ωt)/ωt with a bias voltage, achieved a high extrinsic charging efficiency (a high yield of charged particles) by generating a high concentration of ions and suppressing the electrostatic deposition of the charged particles. In trial operation at the optimal discharge voltage and an aerosol flow rate of 2.5 L/min, the charger attained intrinsic and extrinsic charging efficiencies of 79.3 and 61.4% for 10-nm particles and intrinsic and extrinsic charging efficiencies of 48.0 and 34.6% for 5-nm particles, respectively.

Azithromycin and ceftriaxone in uncomplicated typhoid fever in paediatric patients: a prospective, comparative and randomized open labelled trail

Typhoid fever is a life-threatening infection caused by the bacterium Salmonella typhi. It is a systemic infection characterized by prolonged fever, loss of appetite, nausea, and headache. It is an infectious disease transmitted through contamination of food or water. An estimated 1120 million people get sick from typhoid and between 128 000 and 161 000 people die from it every year. Typhoid fever can be treated with antibiotic. Chloramphenicol was first used in the treatment of typhoid in 1948 by Woodward and many patients were treated successfully but in 1970 salmonella became resistant to it. In late 1980 and early 1990 salmonella became resistant to cotrimoxazole and ampicillin also and became multidrug resistance typhoid fever. When salmonella typhi are resistant to chloramphenicol, ampicillin and trimethoprimsulfamethoxazole they are called multidrug-resistant typhoid fever (MDRTF). Fluoroquinolones have proven to be effective but they are restricted from routine use in children, and quinolone-resistant strains of Salmonella typhi have begun to be reported. Now XDR strain of Salmonella typhi has been reported which is resistant to most antibiotics (ampicillin, chloramphenicol, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, ciprofloxacin, and ABSTRACT
Financial Inclusion, Socioeconomic Disaster Risks and Sustainable Mountain Development: Empirical Evidence from the Karakoram Valleys of Pakistan

Does financial inclusion contribute to sustainable mountain development by providing access to financial resources and creating economic opportunities for poor mountain people? Keeping this question in mind, the present study aimed to investigate the nexus between financial inclusion and improvement in the living standards of mountain people, and reduction in socioeconomic disaster risks (economic poverty, multidimensional poverty and income inequality). For empirical investigation, the study employed Quasi Experimental Designs, Foster, Greer and Thorbecke poverty measures, Alkire et al. methodology, Gini Index and Quintile technique to assess the impact of financial inclusion on the living standards and reduction of economic poverty, multidimensional poverty and income inequality, respectively. We used the Logistic Regression technique to identify major drivers of socioeconomic disaster risks in the study area. The study collected quantitative and qualitative household level data from 424 households through structured questionnaires using multistage sampling technique for analysis. The findings of the study revealed a positive synergy among inclusive finance and living standards and a negative connection between financial inclusion and socioeconomic disaster risks in the Karakoram valleys of Pakistan. The logistic regression results also recognized financial inclusion as a potential determinant of economic poverty reduction. However, financial inclusion as a potential tool to eradicate multidimensional poverty in the study area showed insignificant results. These findings can help policy-makers and other stakeholders to understand the dynamics of socioeconomic disaster risks and the role of financial inclusion in their reduction to accomplish sustainable mountain development in the Karakoram valleys of Pakistan.
Single-Configuration Wavefunctions and Potential Curves for Low-Lying States of He2+, Ne2+, Ae2+, F2-, Cl2- and the Ground State of Cl2

Wavefunctions, orbital energies, and potential curves for He2+, Ne2+, Ar2+, F2−, and Cl2− have been calculated in the molecular‐orbital, self‐consistent‐field approximation over a range Re ≲ R < ∞ for the ground state and those excited states which dissociate into an atom and an ion in their ground states. The ground state potential curve for Cl2 has been calculated for R ∼ Re. Dissociation energies and other parameters obtained from the calculated potential curves are compared with corresponding parameters obtained from elastic differential scattering measurements and resonant electron capture in noble gases, measurements of afterglow line profiles in dissociative recombination radiation in neon and argon, optical absorption spectra of VK centers, and endoergic charge transfer studies of halogen ions and molecules. A formal analysis and discussion of the sources of correlation error in the calculated potential curves and a discussion of the expansion errors are also given.
