Innovation is the driving force of economic development. How to take effective incentives to promote innovation is an important issue in theoretical research. Based on the data of China's A-share listed companies from 2008 to 2018 as a sample, this paper analyzes the relationship between equity incentives and corporate innovation performance based on the perspective of R&D incentives. The study found that: equity incentives have a significant positive effect on improving the innovation capabilities of Firms; the positive effects of equity incentives in state-owned enterprises on innovation are more significant than non-state-owned firms; the impact of equity incentives on firm innovation is affected by the organization’s internal risk-taking ability , The stronger the corporate risk-bearing ability, the more significant the role of equity incentives in promoting innovation; the intensity of market competition outside the organization also has a significant positive impact on the relationship between equity incentives and corporate innovation; at the same time, the relationship between equity incentives and compensation incentives There is a complementary relationship, and salary incentives will strengthen the positive impact of equity incentives on corporate innovation. The research in this paper enriches the research content of equity incentives, provides theoretical guidance for firms to adopt effective incentives, and improves innovation capabilities and innovation performance. It has important enlightenment significance for promoting the high-quality development of Chinese firms.

Identification of desirable maintainers and potential restorers in a hybrid rice breeding program is the dire need for the development of potential rice hybrids. Seventeen (17) cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) lines (15 imported from IRRI and 02 locally developed by RRI, KSK) of rice were crossed with one hundred and sixty (160) testers to identify their genetic nature to behave as restorer or maintainer in the year 2017 and 2018. A total of one hundred and sixty (160) rice test crosses were subjected to pollen and spikelet fertility when crossed with CMS lines. Most of the testers show differential fertility/sterility responses with CMS lines. From these evaluated test crosses thirty-three (33) restorers and thirty-four (34) maintainers (16 Basmati and 18 non-basmati lines) were recognized for further use to develop potential rice hybrids. Four basmati and twenty-nine coarse lines were identified as restorers from the tested genotypes. Most of the genotypes found to be partial restorer (PR) and partial maintainers (PM). Moreover, four promising heterotic combinations/potential restorers were also identified. Six heterotic hybrid combinations had more than 80% spikelet fertility. Potential restorers and maintainers identified in the present exploration could be used to develop high-yielding promising rice hybrids adaptable to the diversified climatic conditions of Punjab, Pakistan.

En las últimas décadas, la variación espacial de los recursos hídricos y otros cambios climáticos vienen siendo las principales razones de eventos extremos como sequías e inundaciones. El objetivo del presente artículo fue calcular el valor de CN para la costa norte del Perú, donde se han evidenciado inundaciones de gran magnitud, ya que este parámetro es fundamental para estimar caudales. Se utilizó el modelo hidrológico SWAT para calcular el valor de CN de la subcuenca medio-alta del río Piura, tomando como punto de aforo el puente Sánchez Cerro. Posteriormente, se calculó los caudales a paso mensual en el punto de aforo, los mismos que se compararon con la información hidrométrica existente para el periodo comprendido entre enero de 1981 a diciembre del 2016. Los resultados indicaron una confiabilidad de 0,93 (para coeficiente de Nash Sutcliffe) y un valor 0,97 (para coeficiente de correlación de Pearson r), considerados como excelentes. El valor CN reflejó con bastante exactitud las características del suelo de la costa norte peruana, con mayor aproximación incluso que si se utiliza la tabla de valores de CN del Servicio de Conservación de Suelos (SCS) o los valores del mapa ráster elaborado por la Autoridad Nacional del Agua (ANA).

El objetivo de la presente investigación fue analizar Modelos Climáticos Globales (GCM) del CMIP6 para determinar el modelo que permita obtener valores de precipitación y temperatura muy semejantes a los registrados en la data grillada PISCO para la cuenca medio-alta del río Piura, y en base a dicho modelo, estimar los impactos hidrológicos del cambio climático en los caudales del futuro intermedio (2015-2100) que permitan identificar la existencia de zonas vulnerables a inundaciones en el sector adyacente al punto de aforo Puente Sánchez Cerro. De los 58 GCM, se analizaron 14 para el escenario SSP5-8.5 del CMIP6 que cuentan con información para el área de estudio, obteniéndose registros de precipitación, temperatura máxima y mínima, los mismos que fueron corregidos por la metodología de Downscaling estadístico con el procedimiento Quantile-mapping. Dicha información fue contrastada con la data PISCO (1981-2016), y se utilizó el modelo hidrológico SWAT para obtener los caudales en el Punto de Aforo Puente Sánchez Cerro, y compararlos con la data del PECHP (1981-2016).

Published: February 2023

The purpose of this study is to understand the effects of simulation-based practice education on learning satisfaction, immersion, and self-efficacy. Using the method of one-group pretest-posttest experimental research, this study selected total 70 nursing students (3rd year) as research subjects. The final research subjects were total 63 students excluding seven people with insufficient responses. From March to April 2021, total eight sessions of simulation practice education (4 hours per session) were conducted once a week. In the effects of the program, the immersion, learning satisfaction, and self-efficacy were measured. Using the SPSS Window Version 25.0, the immersion, learning satisfaction, and self-efficacy were analyzed through the mean, standard deviation, and paired t-test. In the results of this study, the learning satisfaction (t=-2.06, p=.003), immersion (t=-10.61, p<.001), and self-efficacy(t=-2.31, p= .024) were statistically significant. In the results of analyzing the correlations of immersion, learning satisfaction, and self-efficacy after the simulation practice education, the learning satisfaction showed significantly positive correlation with immersion (r= .647, p<.001). The immersion also had positive correlation with self-efficacy(r= .438, p<.001). The results of this study verified the improvement of immersion, learning satisfaction, and self-efficacy of nursing students after the simulation-based practice education. Thus, it would be necessary to develop the educational contents for various subjects, and also to expansively apply the simulation practice education.
