Effects of Host Variability on the Spread of Invasive Forest Diseases
Authors: Prospero Simone , Cleary Michelle
Published: March 2017

Biological invasions, resulting from deliberate and unintentional species transfers of insects, fungal and oomycete organisms, are a major consequence of globalization and pose a significant threat to biodiversity. Limiting damage by non-indigenous forest pathogens requires an understanding of their current and potential distributions, factors affecting disease spread, and development of appropriate management measures. In this review, we synthesize innate characteristics of invading organisms (notably mating system, reproduction type, and dispersal mechanisms) and key factors of the host population (namely host diversity, host connectivity, and host susceptibility) that govern spread and impact of invasive forest pathogens at various scales post-introduction and establishment. We examine spread dynamics for well-known invasive forest pathogens, Hymenoscyphus fraxineus (T. Kowalski) Baral, Queloz, Hosoya, comb. nov., causing ash dieback in Europe, and Cryphonectria parasitica, (Murr.) Barr, causing chestnut blight in both North America and Europe, illustrating the importance of host variability (diversity, connectivity, susceptibility) in their invasion success. While alien pathogen entry has proven difficult to control, and new biological introductions are indeed inevitable, elucidating the key processes underlying host variability is crucial for scientists and managers aimed at developing effective strategies to prevent future movement of organisms and preserve intact ecosystems.

Published: March 2017

Landslide triggered by earthquake or rainstorm often results in serious property damage and human casualties. It is, therefore, necessary to establish an emergency management system to facilitate the processes of damage assessment and decision-making. This paper has presented an integrated approach for mapping and analyzing spatial features of a landslide from remote sensing images and Digital Elevation Models (DEMs). Several image interpretation tools have been provided for analyzing the spatial distribution and characteristics of the landslide on different dimensions: (1D) terrain variation analysis along the mass movement direction and (3D) morphological analysis. In addition, the results of image interpretation can be further discussed and adjusted on an online cooperating platform, which was built to improve the coordination of all players involved in different phases of emergency management, e.g., hazard experts, emergency managers, and first response organizations. A mobile-based application has also been developed to enhance the data exchange and on-site investigation. Our pilot study of Guanling landslide shows that the presented approach has the potential to facilitate the phases of landslide monitoring and information management, e.g., hazard assessment, emergency preparedness, planning mitigation, and response.

Bioassay-guided isolation of the secondary metabolites from the fungus Dichotomomyces sp. L-8 associated with the soft coral Lobophytum crassum led to the discovery of two new compounds, dichotones A and B (1 and 2), together with four known compounds including dichotocejpin C (3), bis-N-norgliovictin (4), bassiatin (5) and (3R,6R)-bassiatin (6). The structures of these compounds were determined by 1D, 2D NMR and mass spectrometry. (3R,6R)-bassiatin (6) displayed significant cytotoxic activities against the human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-435 and the human lung cancer cell line Calu3 with IC50 values of 7.34 ± 0.20 and 14.54 ± 0.01 μM, respectively, while bassiatin (5), the diastereomer of compound 6, was not cytotoxic.

Hypercholesterolemia is a known risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and affects a high proportion of the population. This study aimed to assess and compare the determinants of hypercholesterolemia among Chinese adults aged 18 years and above, from 2002 to 2012. The study used a stratified multistage cluster sampling method to select participants. Sociodemographic and lifestyle information was collected during face-to-face interviews. Dietary intake was calculated by 3-day, 24-h dietary records in combination with weighted edible oil and condiments. Hypercholesterolemia was defined as total cholesterol above 6.22 mmol/L (240 mg/dL) from fasting blood samples. The study included 47,701 (mean age 43.0 years) and 39,870 (mean age 51.0 years) participants in 2002 and 2010–2012 surveys respectively. The weighted prevalence of hypercholesterolemia increased from 1.6% (2.1% urban, 1.0% rural) in 2002 to 6.0% (6.4% urban, 5.1% rural) in 2012. The intake of plant-based food decreased but the intake of pork increased over the 10 years. A high intake of protein and pork, alcohol drinking and overweight/obesity were positively associated with hypercholesterolemia. Neither education nor fruit and vegetable intake were associated with hypercholesterolemia. In conclusion, the burden of hypercholesterolemia increased substantially between 2002 and 2012 in China. Unhealthy lifestyle factors and change in traditional dietary pattern were positively associated with hypercholesterolemia. Further research on the role of diet in the development and prevention of hypercholesterolemia is needed.

Published: March 2017

Increased obesity rates, an evolving food supply and the overconsumption of energy dense foods has led to an increase in research exploring addictive eating behaviours. This study aimed to investigate food addiction in a sample of Australian adults using the revised Yale Food Addiction Survey (YFAS) 2.0 tool and how it is associated with dietary intake, personality traits and mental health issues. Australian adults were invited to complete an online survey that collected information including: demographics, dietary intake, depression, anxiety, stress and personality dimensions including impulsivity, sensation seeking, hopelessness and anxiety sensitivity. A total of 1344 individuals were recruited with the samples comprising 75.7% female, mean age 39.8 ± 13.1 years (range 18–91 years) and body mass index BMI 27.7 ± 9.5. Food addiction was identified in 22.2% of participants using the YFAS 2.0 tool, which classified the severity of food addiction as “mild” in 0.7% of cases, “moderate” in 2.6% and “severe” in 18.9% of cases. Predictors of severe food addiction were female gender (odds ratio (OR) 3.65 95% CI 1.86–7.11) and higher levels of soft drink OR 1.36 (1.07–1.72), confectionary consumption and anxiety sensitivity 1.16 (1.07–1.26). Overall people with “severe” (OR 13.2, 5.8–29.8) or extremely severe depressive symptoms (OR 15.6, range 7.1–34.3) had the highest odds of having severe food addiction. The only variable that reduced the odds of having severe food addiction was vegetable intake. The current study highlights that addictive food behaviours are associated with a complex pattern of poor dietary choices and a clustering with mental health issues, particularly depression.
Current Status of Radiopharmaceuticals for the Theranostics of Neuroendocrine Neoplasms
Authors: Fani Melpomeni , Peitl Petra , Velikyan Irina
Published: March 2017

Abstract: Nuclear medicine plays a pivotal role in the management of patients affected by neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs). Radiolabeled somatostatin receptor analogs are by far the most advanced radiopharmaceuticals for diagnosis and therapy (radiotheranostics) of NENs. Their clinical success emerged receptor-targeted radiolabeled peptides as an important class of radiopharmaceuticals and it paved the way for the investigation of other radioligand-receptor systems. Besides the somatostatin receptors (sstr), other receptors have also been linked to NENs and quite a number of potential radiolabeled peptides have been derived from them. The Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor (GLP-1R) is highly expressed in benign insulinomas, the Cholecystokinin 2 (CCK2)/Gastrin receptor is expressed in different NENs, in particular medullary thyroid cancer, and the Glucose-dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide (GIP) receptor was found to be expressed in gastrointestinal and bronchial NENs, where interestingly, it is present in most of the sstr-negative and GLP-1R-negative NENs. Also in the field of sstr targeting new discoveries brought into light an alternative approach with the use of radiolabeled somatostatin receptor antagonists, instead of the clinically used agonists. The purpose of this review is to present the current status and the most innovative strategies for the diagnosis and treatment (theranostics) of neuroendocrine neoplasms using a cadre of radiolabeled regulatory peptides targeting their receptors.
Detection and Segmentation of Vine Canopy in Ultra-High Spatial Resolution RGB Imagery Obtained from Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV): A Case Study in a Commercial Vineyard
Authors: Poblete-Echeverría Carlos , Olmedo Guillermo , Ingram Ben , Bardeen Matthew
Published: March 2017

The use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in viticulture permits the capture of aerial Red-Green-Blue (RGB) images with an ultra-high spatial resolution. Recent studies have demonstrated that RGB images can be used to monitor spatial variability of vine biophysical parameters. However, for estimating these parameters, accurate and automated segmentation methods are required to extract relevant information from RGB images. Manual segmentation of aerial images is a laborious and time-consuming process. Traditional classification methods have shown satisfactory results in the segmentation of RGB images for diverse applications and surfaces, however, in the case of commercial vineyards, it is necessary to consider some particularities inherent to canopy size in the vertical trellis systems (VSP) such as shadow effect and different soil conditions in inter-rows (mixed information of soil and weeds). Therefore, the objective of this study was to compare the performance of four classification methods (K-means, Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), Random Forest (RForest) and Spectral Indices (SI)) to detect canopy in a vineyard trained on VSP. Six flights were carried out from post-flowering to harvest in a commercial vineyard cv. Carménère using a low-cost UAV equipped with a conventional RGB camera. The results show that the ANN and the simple SI method complemented with the Otsu method for thresholding presented the best performance for the detection of the vine canopy with high overall accuracy values for all study days. Spectral indices presented the best performance in the detection of Plant class (Vine canopy) with an overall accuracy of around 0.99. However, considering the performance pixel by pixel, the Spectral indices are not able to discriminate between Soil and Shadow class. The best performance in the classification of three classes (Plant, Soil, and Shadow) of vineyard RGB images, was obtained when the SI values were used as input data in trained methods (ANN and RForest), reaching overall accuracy values around 0.98 with high sensitivity values for the three classes.
Les archives d'entreprises en France
Authors: Nougaret Roger , Zuber Henri
Published: March 2017

Après avoir rappelé la lente, mais certaine prise en compte des archives d'entreprise par les services d'archives publics au XXe siècle, dont le point d'arrivée est l'ouverture du Centre des archives du monde du travail de Roubaix en 1993, les auteurs relèvent le phénomène relativement massif de création de services d'archives propres aux entreprises dans les années 1990. Ces nouveaux services d'archives se signalent par la nécessité d'une adaptation constante aux contours mouvants des activités, et évoluent sous des statuts différents, selon que leurs fonds soient de nature publique ou privée. En tout état de cause, les archivistes d'entreprises trouvent au sein de l'Association des archivistes français un lieu de réflexion et d'échanges qui est pour eux unique sur le plan professionnel : les publications de la section des archives économiques et d'entreprise se sont en effet multipliées ces dernières années et les débats professionnels récents (référentiel métiers, records management) ont souvent été lancés au sein de l'AAF depuis la section. Les liens avec la recherche historique, de même que la prise en compte interne par les entreprises de la valorisation des connaissances et du patrimoine, ont en vingt ans atteint un niveau de qualité qui s'explique par la meilleure identification et la plus grande ouverture des fonds. L'archiviste d'entreprise, responsable de cette évolution, devra savoir sauvegarder son identité dans le cadre original d'un service d'archives intégré.

Sequences of collapses from Würm to Holocen in prehistoric caves (South-East of France)

Multivariates methods (factorial and discriminant analysis) applied to many accurate stratigraphy and sedimentary sequences files deal just-dated cave-collapses observed into cavity and rock-shelters at the SE of France, show some detailled interpretations about the mechanism inducing the blocks-falls. This work places in a prominent position the various influences relative to cold climates and wet environments, degree of rock fissuration of cave-walls and the sismic-tectonic impacts.
Test of Weak Equivalence Principle with the Multi-band Timing of the Crab Pulsar
Authors: Zhang Yueyang , Gong Biping
Published: March 2017

The Weak Equivalent Principle (WEP) can be tested through the parameterized post-Newtonian parameter γ, representing the space curvature produced by unit rest mass. The parameter γ in turn has been constrained by comparing the arrival times of photons originating in distant transient events, such as gamma-ray bursts, fast radio bursts, and giant pulses of pulsars. Those measurements normally correspond to an individual burst event with very limited energy bands and signal-to-noise ratios (S/Ns). In this paper, the discrepancy in the pulse arrival times of the Crab Pulsar between different energy bands is obtained by the phase difference between corresponding pulse profiles. This allows us to compare the pulse arrival times at the largest energy band differences, between radio and optical, radio and X-ray, and radio and gamma-ray respectively. Because the pulse profiles are generated by phase-folding thousands of individual pulses, the time discrepancies between two energy bands are actually measured from thousands of events at each energy band, which corresponds to a much higher S/N. The upper limit of the γ discrepancy set by such an extensively observed and well-modeled source is as follows: 

at the energy difference of

,

at the energy difference of

,

at

, and

at

. This actually measures the arrival times of freely falling photons in the gravitational field of the Milky Way with the largest amount of events and with data of the highest S/N, which tests WEP at energy band differences that have never been reached before.
A Simple Analytical Model for Rocky Planet Interiors
Authors: Zeng Li , Jacobsen Stein B.
Published: March 2017

This work aims to explore the scaling relations among rocky exoplanets. The assumption that the internal gravity increases linearly in the core and stays constant in the mantle is tested against numerical simulations, and a simple model is constructed, applicable to rocky exoplanets of CMF (core mass fraction) = 0.2–0.35 and mass = 0.1–30 M
⊕. Various scaling relations are derived: (1) CMF ≈ CRF2 (core radius fraction squared), (2)

(typical interior pressure scales as surface gravity squared), (3) energy released in core formation is

the total gravitational energy, (4) effective heat capacity of the mantle

J K−1, (5) moment of inertia

. These relations, though approximate, are handy for quick use owing to their simplicity and lucidity, and provide insights into the interior structures of those exoplanets.
Protoplanetary Disks as (Possibly) Viscous Disks
Authors: Rafikov Roman R.
Published: March 2017

Protoplanetary disks are believed to evolve on megayear timescales in a diffusive (viscous) manner as a result of angular momentum transport driven by internal stresses. Here we use a sample of 26 protoplanetary disks resolved by ALMA with measured (dust-based) masses and stellar accretion rates to derive the dimensionless α-viscosity values for individual objects, with the goal of constraining the angular momentum transport mechanism. We find that the inferred values of α do not cluster around a single value, but instead have a broad distribution extending from 10−4 to 0.04. Moreover, they correlate with neither the global disk parameters (mass, size, surface density) nor the stellar characteristics (mass, luminosity, radius). However, we do find a strong linear correlation between α and the central mass accretion rate

. This correlation is unlikely to result from the direct physical effect of

on internal stress on global scales. Instead, we suggest that it is caused by the decoupling of stellar

from the global disk characteristics in one of the following ways: (1) The behavior (and range) of α is controlled by a yet-unidentified parameter (e.g., ionization fraction, magnetic field strength, or geometry), ultimately driving the variation of

. (2) The central

is decoupled from the global accretion rate as a result of an instability, or mass accumulation (or loss in a wind or planetary accretion) in the inner disk. (3) Perhaps the most intriguing possibility is that angular momentum in protoplanetary disks is transported nonviscously, e.g., via magnetohydrodynamic winds or spiral density waves.
The Ages of the Thin Disk, Thick Disk, and the Halo from Nearby White Dwarfs
Authors: Kilic Mukremin , Munn Jeffrey A. , Harris Hugh C. , Hippel Ted von , Liebert James W. , Williams Kurtis A. , Jeffery Elizabeth , DeGennaro Steven
Published: March 2017

We present a detailed analysis of the white dwarf luminosity functions derived from the local 40 pc sample and the deep proper motion catalog of Munn et al. Many previous studies have ignored the contribution of thick disk white dwarfs to the Galactic disk luminosity function, which results in an erroneous age measurement. We demonstrate that the ratio of thick/thin disk white dwarfs is roughly 20% in the local sample. Simultaneously fitting for both disk components, we derive ages of 6.8–7.0 Gyr for the thin disk and 8.7 ± 0.1 Gyr for the thick disk from the local 40 pc sample. Similarly, we derive ages of 7.4–8.2 Gyr for the thin disk and 9.5–9.9 Gyr for the thick disk from the deep proper motion catalog, which shows no evidence of a deviation from a constant star formation rate in the past 2.5 Gyr. We constrain the time difference between the onset of star formation in the thin disk and the thick disk to be

Gyr. The faint end of the luminosity function for the halo white dwarfs is less constrained, resulting in an age estimate of

Gyr for the Galactic inner halo. This is the first time that ages for all three major components of the Galaxy have been obtained from a sample of field white dwarfs that is large enough to contain significant numbers of disk and halo objects. The resultant ages agree reasonably well with the age estimates for the oldest open and globular clusters.

We present a large-scale combination of near-infrared (near-IR) interstellar polarization data from background starlight with polarized emission data at submillimeter wavelengths for the Vela C molecular cloud. The near-IR data consist of more than 6700 detections probing a range of visual extinctions between 2 and

in and around the cloud. The submillimeter data were collected in Antarctica by the Balloon-borne Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope for Polarimetry. This is the first direct combination of near-IR and submillimeter polarization data for a molecular cloud aimed at measuring the “polarization efficiency ratio” (

), a quantity that is expected to depend only on grain-intrinsic physical properties. It is defined as

, where p
500 and p

I
are polarization fractions at

and the I band, respectively, and

is the optical depth. To ensure that the same column density of material is producing both polarization from emission and from extinction, we conducted a careful selection of near-background stars using 2MASS, Herschel, and Planck data. This selection excludes objects contaminated by the Galactic diffuse background material as well as objects located in the foreground. Accounting for statistical and systematic uncertainties, we estimate an average

value of 2.4 ± 0.8, which can be used to test the predictions of dust grain models designed for molecular clouds when such predictions become available. The ratio

appears to be relatively flat as a function of the cloud depth for the range of visual extinctions probed.
The Formation of Magnetic Depletions and Flux Annihilation Due to Reconnection in the Heliosheath
Authors: Drake J. F. , Swisdak M. , Opher M. , Richardson J. D.
Published: March 2017

The misalignment of the solar rotation axis and the magnetic axis of the Sun produces a periodic reversal of the Parker spiral magnetic field and the sectored solar wind. The compression of the sectors is expected to lead to reconnection in the heliosheath (HS). We present particle-in-cell simulations of the sectored HS that reflect the plasma environment along the Voyager 1 and 2 trajectories, specifically including unequal positive and negative azimuthal magnetic flux as seen in the Voyager data. Reconnection proceeds on individual current sheets until islands on adjacent current layers merge. At late time, bands of the dominant flux survive, separated by bands of deep magnetic field depletion. The ambient plasma pressure supports the strong magnetic pressure variation so that pressure is anticorrelated with magnetic field strength. There is little variation in the magnetic field direction across the boundaries of the magnetic depressions. At irregular intervals within the magnetic depressions are long-lived pairs of magnetic islands where the magnetic field direction reverses so that spacecraft data would reveal sharp magnetic field depressions with only occasional crossings with jumps in magnetic field direction. This is typical of the magnetic field data from the Voyager spacecraft. Voyager 2 data reveal that fluctuations in the density and magnetic field strength are anticorrelated in the sector zone, as expected from reconnection, but not in unipolar regions. The consequence of the annihilation of subdominant flux is a sharp reduction in the number of sectors and a loss in magnetic flux, as documented from the Voyager 1 magnetic field and flow data.
Charlson Comorbidity Index Is Related to Organ Damage in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: Data from KORean lupus Network (KORNET) Registry
Authors: Kim Seong-Kyu , Choe Jung-Yoon , Lee Shin-Seok
Published: March 2017

Objective.

The aim of this study was to identify whether comorbidity status is associated with organ damage in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

Methods.

A total of 502 patients with SLE enrolled in the KORean lupus Network were consecutively recruited. Data included demographics, age-adjusted Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCIa), disease activity indexes, the Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics/American College of Rheumatology Damage Index (SDI), the Medical Outcomes Study Short Form-36 health survey (SF-36) score, and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) score.

Results.

Of the total patients, 21.1% (n = 106) experienced organ damage (SDI ≥ 1). Univariate correlation analysis revealed that SDI was not statistically correlated with any clinical variables (correlation coefficient r < 0.3 of all). There were significant differences in the BDI, mental component score of the SF-36, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI), CCIa, C-reactive protein, and mean dose of corticosteroid between non-damage (SDI = 0) and damage (SDI ≥ 1) groups. The presence of damage to at least 1 organ in patients with SLE was found to be closely related with higher CCIa, higher SLEDAI, and mean dose of corticosteroid (OR 1.884, 95% CI 1.372–2.586, p < 0.001; OR 1.114, 95% CI 1.041–1.192, p = 0.002; OR 1.036, 95% CI 1.004–1.068, p = 0.026; respectively) in binary logistic regression analysis.

Conclusion.

This study suggests that organ damage as assessed by the SDI in Korean patients with SLE is related to comorbidities together with disease activity and corticosteroid exposure.
Vater- und Mentorfiguren bei Robert Walser. Dialog, Mimikry und Subversion

Published: March 2017

La relation de maints protagonistes walsériens avec leur père ou, plus généralement, avec des personnages susceptibles de constituer des figures paternelles se caractérise par une ambiguïté à plusieurs niveaux. Tandis que les fils, pour la plupart, refusent la mimesis , c’est-à-dire le choix d’une intégration sociale calquée sur celle du père, certains « pères subversifs » apparaissent comme des modèles et des interlocuteurs pour les fils, mais ils deviennent à leur tour victimes d’une mise à distance subversive de la part de ceux-ci. C’est ce que nous nous emploierons à montrer en nous appuyant essentiellement sur Jakob von Gunten.

Cet article revient sur la loi du 24 juillet 1936 sur la Banque de France, votée par le gouvernement du Front populaire mené par Léon Blum, et sur les transformations durables qu’elle apporta à l’institut d’émission. En modifiant la composition du Conseil général, organe délibératif de la Banque, pour y remplacer les actionnaires les plus influents par des membres nommés par le gouvernement, la loi de 1936 engagea le cycle de la nationalisation de la banque centrale, achevée à la Libération par la prise de propriété du capital par l’État. Si cette transformation répondait à des préoccupations politiques et à la volonté du gouvernement de se prémunir de l’hostilité des puissants actionnaires de la Banque, la croissance de l’influence de l’État dans la gouvernance de l’institution modifia sensiblement les missions de la Banque de France. Celle-ci incarnait désormais un service public de la monnaie qui ne pouvait plus être uniquement déterminé par l’exigence de rentabilité financière et donnait à la Banque un magistère moral sur l’ensemble du système bancaire. De même, la gouvernance interne de la Banque de France, notamment à travers la gestion de son personnel dont le statut sera modifié l’année suivante, se trouva profondément transformée par cette séquence législative, qui renforça notamment la démocratie sociale interne et donna au personnel un statut hybride, à mi-chemin entre la fonction publique et le salariat bancaire.
La société de l’an mil dans le royaume capétien : essai historiographique
Authors: Barthélemy Dominique
Published: March 2017

La critique constructive de la mutation de l’an mil a débuté en 1992 et 1994 par deux articles de la Revue historique sur le servage et sur la chevalerie, et la présente contribution veut faire le point des développements survenus depuis lors sur ces deux sujets. La question du mariage chrétien a été placée plus au cœur du servage postcarolingien. Mais c’est surtout sur les « chevaliers » que le propos de l’auteur s’est étoffé, grâce à une analyse de la guerre et de l’interaction féodales qui permet de mieux comprendre les enjeux de la vassalité, et surtout le maintien d’une certaine hiérarchie et d’un certain ordre dans la société féodale, favorable à sa reproduction. Rois et princes restent des acteurs essentiels de l’histoire du xi e  siècle, puisque c’est dans leurs cours et maisnies que s’élaborent les idéaux et pratiques de la chevalerie proprement dite. Plus solidaire de la société féodale que ne le pensait la vieille école historienne, l’Église l’est tout de même moins que ne le pensent les tenants actuels du féodalisme ecclésial, auxquels on objecte que les institutions de paix diocésaine sont un véritable effort contre la guerre féodale.

Early Sherlockian scholarship: Non/fiction at play
Authors: Donley Kate M.
Published: March 2017

Sherlockian scholarship is a display of intellect, wit, and canonical expertise that requires a cunning manipulation of a story world and of nonfiction. This playful style of writing defies easy classification in the terminology of fan and literary studies. Emerging in the early 20th century, Sherlockian scholarship had a tremendous surge in popularity in the late 1920s and early '30s in articles by renowned British and American authors, including Dorothy L. Sayers, Christopher Morley, Sir Desmond MacCarthy, Sir Sydney Castle Roberts, and Ronald A. Knox. The sustained popularity of Sherlockian scholarship owes much to these initial players, whose sparkling prose conjures a bygone era of repartee. In this study, I present a chronological survey of two early periods in Sherlockian scholarship to understand its poetics, popularity, generic identity, and contemporary relevance.

Understanding Transnational Diaspora Entrepreneurship and the Role of Values
Authors: Elo Maria
Published: March 2017

Transnational diaspora entrepreneurship and its role linking two or more countries and generating business receive increasing attention. Diaspora entrepreneurs act often as pioneers and change agents bringing new ideas, products and services with them. In the context of ethnic enclaves, ethnic entrepreneurs face a different situation than those who target the mainstream economy and need to tackle with the value differences and challenges created by such cultural dimensions. Moreover, the development path in a transnational setting sets its own dynamics on the business development, but the value employment remains unknown. Whose values are in use and how these values are implemented? This longitudinal case study focuses on one Cypriot-Finnish entrepreneurial firm, which evolves from a start-up to a major player in the Finnish food business in imports of ethnic food products. The analysis examines values and cultural dimensions and contributes to better understanding on the transnational diaspora entrepreneurship, its dynamics and adopted philosophy on values-in-use across generations.
Teaching Entrepreneurship
Authors: Gámez Gutiérrez Jorge Alberto , Garzón Baquero Jossie Esteban
Published: March 2017

Capitalism has promoted and requires the growing knowledge of entrepreneurs, creative people who have the ability to solve problems in the form of innovation. The types of enterprises they create can be social, public and private. By creating an enterprising company new products and new production methods can be introduced, new markets are open, new sources of raw materials and inputs are developed and new market structures in an industry are created. Entrepreneurship can be taught, the question is how to do it. Teaching entrepreneurship should go beyond the business plan. It proposes a form that overcomes the mistakes found by the author in two research studies in 2008 and 2014 in the programs of management in Bogotá.

This chapter presents the case of EAN University, an institution that from its foundation has focused on entrepreneurship as its mission. Over time the university has taken concrete actions to develop its three mission areas: training, research and social outreach. At EAN University, the entrepreneur training model is mandatory for all programs, making it part of the student's core education. In addition, the university promotes and creates a culture of entrepreneurship in its community through permanent business incubation and acceleration services, which are available to all students and graduates.

The university's effort is focus on directing and accompanying companies in the preincubation and incubation stages.
Business Models for Social Entrepreneurs
Authors: Shiri Alphonce Tavona
Published: March 2017

Social Entrepreneurs creatively contribute towards the welfare of marginalized members of society by availing affordable products and services. The objective of this chapter is to critically discuss the concept of social entrepreneurship and provide some theoretical lens through which one can understand the activities that are carried out by social entrepreneurs. This chapter describes social entrepreneurs from a bricolage and a social constructionist perspective. While a plethora of definitions of social entrepreneurship exists, this chapter filters a few definitions and elaborates on common elements that increase our understanding of the concept of social entrepreneurship. Various models of social entrepreneurship serve different social goals and these are discussed with aid of examples. Factors that determine the adoption of a model range from the scale of the social mission, characteristics of the clients to the type of intended social beneficiaries of the venture.
Scaling Sustainability Value in Sustainability Purpose Organizations
Authors: Lyakhov Alex , Gliedt Travis , Jackson Nathan
Published: March 2017

While sustainability purpose organizations attempt to create environmental, social and economic value for society as a core operating objective, two questions remain; one, how do these organizations increase their sustainability impacts, and two, does this method differ by organization type? The purpose of this research is to examine the process of organizational expansion and the extent to which there is a ceiling with respect to the scale and scope of influence that an environmental organization can have on transitioning society towards a greener future. This study compares the process of value creation in four different sustainability purpose organizations in Oklahoma: two non-profit environmental service organizations and two for-profit green energy businesses. Semi-structured interviews conducted with the leaders of these organizations identified differences between non-profit and for-profit sustainability purpose organizations.
Entrepreneurship and Enterprise Value Creation in Support of Smart, Sustainable, and Inclusive Growth in the European Union
Authors: Stefanova Julia S. , Wenner Zachary
Published: March 2017

In 2010, the European Union codified “Smart, Sustainable, and Inclusive Growth” (SSIG) as part of the Europe 2020 Strategy. Introduced in the context of the global financial crisis, SSIG seeks to restore economic resiliency and foster a more equitable, innovative and environmentally sustainable European economy. The research evaluates the processes of entrepreneurship through which small and medium enterprises (SMEs) contribute to SSIG, including through “innovation-driven entrepreneurship,” “sustainable entrepreneurship” and “social entrepreneurship.” The research additionally assesses the creation of an enabling regulatory and fiscal environment for these modes of value creation, their associated socio-economic outcomes and their monitoring and evaluation practices.
Corporate Innovation and Intrapreneurship in the Middle East
Authors: Zgheib Philippe W.
Published: March 2017

Corporate Intrapreneurship (CIP) is still viewed in many cases in the Arab region as a western concept that does not apply to the Middle East. Whereas Corporate Intrapreneurship (CIP) has been an area of increased interest in the United States and in Europe in the last few decades, stimulated mainly by the hope that it will revitalize and regenerate the manufacturing industry, among others, in these countries, especially in the face of increased competition, in the Middle East CIP is still a somewhat new and sometimes vague concept with little understanding to its benefits and uses. The objective of this chapter is to link intrapreneurship to the well-developed literature on entrepreneurship, to develop a model that will allow us to incorporate those factors that are critical to the intrapreneurial zone of an organization.
Knowledge Management and Entrepreneurship
Authors: Bandera Cesar , Bartolacci Michael R. , Passerini Katia
Published: March 2017

Most literature on knowledge management (KM) focuses on large firms – the domain in which KM was originally developed – and most KM literature on entrepreneurship focuses on entrepreneurial activities in post-revenue firms. The domain of the startup, however, is traditionally very different from these, characterized by a lack of tangible assets and validated value proposition. The authors review the literature on KM and entrepreneurship with a particular focus on young micro-enterprises that have yet to cross the “valley of death” stage of maturation. Using the Dynamic Knowledge Creation Process as a guide, they elaborate on the challenges facing the implementation of KM in startups, and on the subsequent opportunities for startup growth. Finally, the authors reflect upon research questions that may engage future researchers in proposing strategies that better integrate KM as a discipline into the fabric of entrepreneurship and the startup domain.
