GLOBALISATION, COMPETITION AND INNOVATION- RECENT DEVELOPMENT

Globalization and support of competition keeps prices low and output high. But what is their impact on quality and support of innovation? There is a fundamentals question about the relationship between competition and innovation which it has been subject of many theoretical debates. Timely implementation of innovations helps the county to reach the necessary competitive advantage and create and maintain competitive position in today’s demanding international environment. This research work uses different research strategies to explore the current competitive position and innovation potential of companies in the Czech Republic. It examines the institutional setup and financial background of innovation generators. It explores the official administrative and financial support of innovations. Impact of globalization on innovative activities is highlighted. In the regional context an important role is represented by some specific interests and local assignments. Regions often stress a fast fructification of innovations and rapid implementation of investments into their local and municipal culture. The results of this study bring the characteristics of innovation environment and innovation potential of the Czech Republic, which can be used as a base for decision making on governmental, regional and professional levels.
Psychic wholeness in the context of Anna Terruwe and Conrad Baars’ theory of repressive neuroses

In the 1970s, two Dutch psychiatrists, Anna Terruwe and Conrad Baars, developed an innovative theory and therapy of repressive neuroses. Their theory was founded on the philosophical anthropology of Saint Thomas Aquinas. This approach to neuroses stemmed from the observation that contemporary psychiatry and psychology lacked philosophical underpinnings and that sciences thus formed were unable to help people. The key concept in the theory of repressive neuroses is psychic wholeness—the unity of the senses, the intellect, and will under the natural guidance of the last two of these. Stressing the great importance of this wholeness of human sensory and intellectual faculties for mental health has its consequences in the approach to and treatment of repressive neuroses. Every neurotic disorder is a kind of disintegration (repression of emotions and lack of intellectual control); therefore, the therapeutic process is supposed to effect a reintegration of distinct human faculties. The article presents the concept of psychic wholeness in the context of the theory of repressive neuroses, with special focus on Aquinas’ anthropology as the philosophical basis for this theory. Bowen’s concept of differentiation of self is also discussed and its similarities to psychic wholeness are pointed out.
NPO Web-Based Accountability: How Can We Know If NPOs Are Doing Good Things?

This study develops a comprehensive but practical framework for not-for-profit organization (NPO) web-based accountability involving (a) disclosure of operations, financial performance, and social performance, and (b) dialogue; and investigates it in the practices of five Australian NPO award finalists and 160 NPOs more broadly. The findings highlight NPOs’ web-based accountability focused on operational disclosure, promoting NPOs’ activities and mission. However, financial and social performance disclosure was lacking, despite financial performance information being publicly available on the government regulator’s website. Furthermore, the use of online platforms to promote dialogue and exchange was limited. The study suggests that regulatory requirements play an important role in strengthening NPOs’ accountability, and the lack of social performance reporting means it is still unclear what “good things” NPOs are doing.
Analysis of an End Launcher for a Circular Cylindrical Waveguide

The analysis of an end launcher type of transition exciting dominant TE/sub 11/ mode circular waveguide from a coaxial line is presented. The expressions for real and imaginary parts of impedance seen by the coaxial line are derived for the general case of offset launcher using self reaction of the assumed current over the loop. The dimensions of combined electric and magnetic loops having low input VSWR are determined. There is satisfactory agreement between theoretical and experimental results.
Queueing-Inventory with One Essential and m Optional Items with Environment Change Process Forming Correlated Renewal Process (MEP)

We consider a queueing inventory with one essential and m optional items for sale. The system evolves in environments that change randomly. There are n environments that appear in a random fashion governed by a Marked Markovian Environment change process. Customers demand the main item plus none, one, or more of the optional items, but were restricted to at most one unit of each optional item. Service time of the main item is phase type distributed and that of optional items have exponential distributions with parameters that depend on the type of the item, as well as the environment under consideration. If the essential item is not available, service will not be provided. The lead times of optional and main items have exponential distributions having parameters that depend on the type of the item. The condition for stability of the system is analyzed by considering a multi-dimensional continuous time Markov chain that represent the evolution of the system. Under this condition, various performance characteristics of the system are derived. In terms of these, a cost function is constructed and optimal control policies of the different types of commodities are investigated. Numerical results are provided to give a glimpse of the system performance.
A Case Report on Schizophrenia with Autoimmune Encephalitis

Schizophrenia is a severe mental illness with a high death rate and significant societal implications. Curative treatments are not available due to a lack of understanding of its etiopathogenesis. The mild encephalitis hypothesis of schizophrenia, established primarily by Karl Bechter and Norbert Müller, is one of the new research hypotheses. According to this theory, a significant subset of schizophrenia patients suffers from a mild but persistent form of encephalitis caused by a variety of etiology ranging from viral infections to traumas to autoimmune illnesses. This inflammatory method is believed to occur in the start or during the course of the disease. The authors present case of a 65-year-old female got admitted in female psychiatric ward AVBR Hospital Sawangi Meghe, Wardha Maharashtra with chief complaint of forgetfulness, interest in environment decline, unable to communicate, poor performance at work, muttering to self, sleep disturbance, seeing people which are not seen other, fearfulness. all necessary investigation done, in mental status examination founded impairment in memory, disorientation cognitive function impairment, RBC count 3.82, WBC count 5300, Hb% 12, calcium 8.1, urea 26, creatinine 0.6, sodium 142, potassium 4.0. Alkaline phosphate 89. HIV, HBSAG non-reactive, A large number of white blood cells in the CSF An MRI that reveals evidence of brain inflammation. There was a slight increase in antinuclear antibody (1: 40 titer). Blood and CSF were positive for oligoclonal bands. The patient was received symptomatic treatment antianxiety, antipsychotic drug alleviates hallucinations and delusion. Disturbances of consciousness and orientation, catatonia, speech dysfunction, focal neurological signs, epileptic seizures/EEG abnormalities or autonomic dysfunction are warning signs in psychiatric patients which should always induce cerebrospinal fluid analysis with determination of antineuronal autoantibodies. Currently established immunotherapy strategies are summarised, taking into account international expert advice. Guided by clinical warning signs, our qualitative review enables rapid and reliable diagnosis of definite autoimmune encephalitis. This is of high relevance for the affected individuals, since early and sufficiently intense immunotherapy often leads to a good prognosis despite severe illness.
Self-Healing Hydrogels Based on Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose/Poly(vinyl alcohol) Reinforced with Montmorillonite

Currently, self-healing hydrogels prepared from the green process have been studied for various applications, especially in the biomedical field. This work fabricated the self-healing hydrogel based on sodium carboxymethyl cellulose/poly(vinyl alcohol)/montmorillonite by acidifying the mixture with citric acid. SEM measurements showed well-dispersed montmorillonite in the hydrogels. Cytotoxicity values >100% were seen with montmorillonite added, which indicated cell growth and no cell toxicity. Montmorillonite addition not only reinforced the networks but also improved self-healing ability. The tensile strength of the original uncut hydrogel with montmorillonite (P1C8M1) was 61 kPa, whereas the healed hydrogel showed 57 kPa. The hydrogel healed completely within 10 days, without any cracks, i.e., a 93% healing efficiency, or higher than the ~60% of the non-reinforced hydrogel. This confirmed strong hydrogen bond formation between the polymer and montmorillonite. The self-healing ability of this non-toxic hydrogel, reinforced with montmorillonite, makes it valuable for use in biomedical fields.
Mutual coupling in multi-element array antennas and its influence on MIMO channel capacity

The effects of mutual coupling between receive elements in a multi-element antenna on multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system capacity are reported. The results are based upon analysis of mutual coupling calculated for a measured linear array of five printed dipole elements with 0.56 of a wavelength spacing. It is shown that the presence of mutual coupling at the receive array antenna leads to additional correlation between spatial channels and results in a loss of MIMO system capacity.
School Location Analysis by Integrating the Accessibility, Natural and Biological Hazards to Support Equal Access to Education

This study proposes a new model for land suitability for educational facilities based on spatial product development to determine the optimal locations for achieving education targets in West Java, Indonesia. Single-aspect approaches, such as accessibility and spatial hazard analyses, have not been widely applied in suitability assessments on the location of educational facilities. Model development was performed based on analyses of the economic value of the land and on the integration of various parameters across three main aspects: accessibility, comfort, and a multi-natural/biohazard (disaster) risk index. Based on the maps of disaster hazards, higher flood-prone areas are found to be in gentle slopes and located in large cities. Higher risks of landslides are spread throughout the study area, while higher levels of earthquake risk are predominantly in the south, close to the active faults and megathrusts present. Presently, many schools are located in very high vulnerability zones (2057 elementary, 572 junior high, 157 senior high, and 313 vocational high schools). The comfort-level map revealed 13,459 schools located in areas with very low and low comfort levels, whereas only 2377 schools are in locations of high or very high comfort levels. Based on the school accessibility map, higher levels are located in the larger cities of West Java, whereas schools with lower accessibility are documented far from these urban areas. In particular, senior high school accessibility is predominant in areas of lower accessibility levels, as there are comparatively fewer facilities available in West Java. Overall, higher levels of suitability are spread throughout West Java. These distribution results revealed an expansion of the availability of schools by area: senior high schools, 303,973.1 ha; vocational high schools, 94,170.51 ha; and junior high schools, 12,981.78 ha. Changes in elementary schools (3936.69 ha) were insignificant, as the current number of elementary schools is relatively much higher. This study represents the first to attempt to integrate these four parameters—accessibility, multi natural hazard, biohazard, comfort index, and land value—to determine potential areas for new schools to achieve educational equity targets.
Evaluation of Suspected Macrolide Allergies in Children

Objective: Macrolides are often accepted as safe antibiotics due to their low allergenicity. However, studies on macrolides, particularly studies evaluating cross-reactivity in macrolides, are highly rare in children. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical manifestations, confirmation rate, and frequency of cross-reactivity in children admitted with suspicious clarithromycin or azithromycin allergy. Materials and Methods: A total of 61 children suspected of macrolide antibiotic allergy (clarithromycin, n = 39 and azithromycin, n = 22) were evaluated. Allergy work-up including drug provocation tests were performed in all patients to confirm drug allergy. Results: Macrolide allergy was confirmed in 9.8% (n = 6) of patients (azithromycin, 18.2% [n = 4] and clarithromycin, 5.1% [n = 2]). There was no significant difference between the confirmation rate of clarithromycin and azithromycin (P = .117). Cross-reaction with clarithromycin was confirmed in 2 (33.3%) patients with azithromycin allergy. Conclusion: Drug skin tests are not capable of confirming or ruling out macrolide allergy, and oral provocation tests are essential for a definitive diagnosis. Cross-reactivity, albeit rare, can occur between clarithromycin and azithromycin, which are the most frequently used macrolides in children.
The First Line of Defense: Receptor-like Protein Kinase-Mediated Stomatal Immunity

Stomata regulate gas and water exchange between the plant and external atmosphere, which are vital for photosynthesis and transpiration. Stomata are also the natural entrance for pathogens invading into the apoplast. Therefore, stomata play an important role in plants against pathogens. The pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) locate in guard cells to perceive pathogen/microbe-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and trigger a series of plant innate immune responses, including rapid closure of stomata to limit bacterial invasion, which is termed stomatal immunity. Many PRRs involved in stomatal immunity are plasma membrane-located receptor-like protein kinases (RLKs). This review focuses on the current research progress of RLK-mediated signaling pathways involved in stomatal immunity, and discusses questions that need to be addressed in future research.
Strategies of Cell Signaling and Critical Focus on Etiology of Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Hepatocellular carcinoma is an atypical biological cell process that is frequently identified at an advanced stage, with no promising therapeutic options available. Hepatocarcinogenesis is connected to a range of cellular signaling pathways, notably Wnt-β-catenin (canonical Wnt pathway), nuclear factor-B, and YAP-HIPPO (Yes-associated protein Salvador-Warts-Hippo pathway); each of these is considered a potential pharmacological candidate. Inflammation in the liver for a long time and damage play a big role in the incidence and development of HCC. HCC incidence rates go up by the many variables such as sex, age, ethnicity, and demographics are all factors to consider, and the leading causes of infection by the chronic or hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), nutrient pollutants, ecological poisons, tobacco smoldering, and genetic disorders, which are all carcinogens. In this review, we expanded on our existing empathetic of the signaling pathways involved in the development and genesis of HCC. We also encapsulated the etiology of HCC, with a focus on HCC triggered by non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and alcoholic fatty liver disease (AFLD). In this review, we forecasted potential therapeutic drug targets.
Pharmacological Modulation and (Patho)Physiological Roles of TRPM4 Channel—Part 2: TRPM4 in Health and Disease

Transient receptor potential melastatin 4 (TRPM4) is a unique member of the TRPM protein family and, similarly to TRPM5, is Ca2+ sensitive and permeable for monovalent but not divalent cations. It is widely expressed in many organs and is involved in several functions; it regulates membrane potential and Ca2+ homeostasis in both excitable and non-excitable cells. This part of the review discusses the currently available knowledge about the physiological and pathophysiological roles of TRPM4 in various tissues. These include the physiological functions of TRPM4 in the cells of the Langerhans islets of the pancreas, in various immune functions, in the regulation of vascular tone, in respiratory and other neuronal activities, in chemosensation, and in renal and cardiac physiology. TRPM4 contributes to pathological conditions such as overactive bladder, endothelial dysfunction, various types of malignant diseases and central nervous system conditions including stroke and injuries as well as in cardiac conditions such as arrhythmias, hypertrophy, and ischemia-reperfusion injuries. TRPM4 claims more and more attention and is likely to be the topic of research in the future.
Magnetic field measurements with a novel surface micromachined magnetic-field sensor

The surface micromachining process of Robert Bosch GmbH has been used to fabricate a novel type of magnetic-field sensor. The Lorentz force, caused by the interaction of a current and an external magnetic field in a suspended surface micromachined conducting beam, laterally displaces the suspended structure. The displacement of the structure is converted into a capacitance change by comb-electrodes, which form a differential capacitor. An appropriate electronic circuitry measures the magnetic field by quantifying the displacement of the conducting beam. In order to increase sensitivity to magnetic fields, the magnitude of the deflection is increased by resonant operation in a vacuum ambient. The sensor obtains its vacuum environment by encapsulation with a new wafer bonding process. Prototype sensors with resonant frequencies in the range around 1300 Hz show Q-factors above 30. With these samples, relative magnetic sensitivities of 900 000 (V/A/spl middot/T) with a detection limit in the sub /spl mu/T-range are reported.
Blurring the Boundaries between Real Worlds, Discourse Worlds and Text Worlds

Blurring the Boundaries between Real Worlds, Discourse Worlds and Text WorldsWhat do the article title ‘Black Widow Breaks Up With Kylo Ren’ and a Twitter message saying ‘The scene in The Departed where Mark Wahlberg shoots Matt Damon is the blueprint for how to handle corrupt cops’ have in common? Clearly, they both combine references to actors and movies, but do they combine them through the same cognitive technique(s)? This paper starts by addressing the question of how these two instances of reference differ. The line of argumentation that is supported suggests that a world-building theory needs to be employed in order to understand the difference. In doing this, the paper aims and contributes to the theoretical advancement of world-building approaches by arguing for the introduction of the concept of ‘Real Worlds’ in research on Text Worlds and Discourse Worlds. Data set sample analyses employing the Real World concept are included to verify the main theoretical premise. The analyzed texts cover traditional genres such as political speeches as well as modern-day, boundary-blurring genres such as Twitter messages. Zacieranie granic między światem rzeczywistym, światem dyskursu i światem tekstu Co mają wspólnego artykuł zatytułowany Czarna wdowa zrywa z Kylo Renem i wiadomość na Twitterze o treści „Scena w The Departed, w której Mark Wahlberg strzela do Matta Damona, jest schematem postępowania ze skorumpowanymi gliniarzami”? Oczywiście oba łączą odniesienia do aktorów i filmów, ale czy łączą je za pomocą tych samych technik poznawczych? Artykuł rozpoczyna się od odpowiedzi na pytanie, czym różnią się te dwa przypadki odniesienia. Wynikiem zaprezentowanej argumentacji jest sugestia, aby w celu zrozumienia różnicy między nimi wyjść od teorii tworzenia światów. Opowiedzenie się za wykorzystaniem koncepcji „świata rzeczywistego” w badaniach nad światem tekstu i światem dyskursu ma na celu rozwój i wzmocnienie teorii tworzenia światów. W weryfikacji podstawowej przesłanki teoretycznej w artykule uwzględniono wyniki analizy próbek ze zbioru danych, w których wykorzystano koncepcję „świata rzeczywistego”. Analizie poddano zarówno teksty reprezentujące tradycyjne gatunki, takie jak przemówienia polityczne, jak również teksty, w których dochodzi do zacierania granic międzygatunkowych, na przykład wiadomości w serwisie społecznościowym Twitter.
Lucas’s methodological divide in inflation theory: a student’s journey

ABSTRACT The paper describes how Robert E. Lucas, Jr.’s monetary economies are based on his methodology of using a single general equilibrium dynamic optimization model with microeconomic foundations that can be tested with econometric methods. It shows how, since his 1972 neutrality paper, Phillips curves continue to be a foundation for policy prescription contrary to Lucas’s 1972 results. In support of Lucas’s hypothesis, historical Phillips curves are shown to be idiosyncratic rather than a basis for policy. Using Lucas’s alternative microfounded approaches to money, growth, and asset pricing, the paper then presents Lucas-type extensions for money and growth using a microfounded bank production of exchange credit as an alternative to money, as suggested by Lucas. The paper also shows how this leads to endogenous velocity, money causing inflation, and inflation causing lower economic growth, as in evidence. This implies that Lucas-based low stable inflation policy yields high economic growth and employment.
IDENTIFICATION OF TRAVELER INFORMATION AND DECISION-MAKING NEEDS FOR MANAGED LANE USERS

Researchers conducted focus groups in Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio to better determine what information drivers believe they need and how well they understand current and proposed message formats. Participants disagreed with the standard of marking the entrance to the managed lane from the general-purpose lanes with an EXIT sign, as they considered themselves still on the overall facility. Participants were also receptive to using a different color sign or at least a different colored banner to help differentiate between managed lane and general-purpose lane information. The research team developed a conceptualized driver decision-making model to help managed lane designers understand the type of information that drivers need in order to make informed decisions about whether or not to use the managed lane facility. Recommendations are made for further research into which types of information could be moved off of the roadway and presented in other formats, such as the Internet or highway advisory radios.
