The Impact of Scientific and Technological Information Resource Utilization on Breakthrough Innovation in Enterprises: The Moderating Role of Strategic Aggressiveness
Authors: Hou Jianhua , Yang Xiucai , Song Haoyang
Published: July 2024

This study aims to explore the relationship between the utilization of scientific and technological information resources and breakthrough innovation in enterprises, examining the moderating role of strategic aggressiveness in this relationship. Based on an investigation of 438,228 patent data from 2616 Chinese enterprises, we construct a theoretical framework of “strategy–capability–performance” and conduct an empirical study using a mixed-effects model. The results indicate that both the intensity and imbalance of scientific and technological information resource utilization have significant positive effects on breakthrough innovation in enterprises. Further analysis reveals that strategic aggressiveness plays a moderating role in the relationship between the utilization of scientific and technological information resources and breakthrough innovation. Additionally, heterogeneity analysis shows differences in the impact of scientific and technological information resource utilization on breakthrough innovation across different regions and ownership types. Specifically, the imbalance of scientific and technological information resource utilization in coastal areas has a greater impact on breakthrough innovation than in non-coastal areas, and the intensity of scientific and technological information resource utilization in state-owned enterprises has a greater impact on breakthrough innovation than in non-state-owned enterprises. The findings of this study provide important insights for enterprise innovation management, helping enterprises to more effectively utilize scientific and technological information resources to drive breakthrough innovation and promote sustainable and healthy development.
The Feedback from a Beach Berm during Post-Storm Recovery and How to Improve the Berm’s Restorative Efficiency
Authors: Zhu Yu , Zhou Yingtao , Zeng Weite , Feng Weibing , Jiang Yuanshu
Published: July 2024

The efficiency of beach recovery during a time of moderate waves following storm waves is closely related to the interaction between dynamics, sediment, and the landform. The existing studies mainly focus on the description of erosion and accretion characteristics, while the response and feedback mechanism of beach berm sediment have not been elucidated. The main controlling factors of recovery efficiency are not clear. In this paper, field observation and the XBeach numerical model are utilized on the sandy beach in Puqian Bay, China, to capture high-frequency cross-shore data during the post-storm recovery period. The variation characteristics and rules of berm elements, including berm ridge height and slope on two sides of the berm ridge, are analyzed. It is observed that the berm constantly changes to adapt to dynamic conditions. Additionally, a correlation between volume change and certain landform parameters is proposed, leading to the identification of a new relationship in wave run-up. The new forum reflects berm influence and considers the berm ridge and berm width.

Published: July 2024

Background

Severe mental illness (SMI) has been associated with reduced bone density and increased risk of fractures, although some studies have shown inconsistent results.

Aim

To examine the association between SMI and recorded diagnosis of osteoporosis and fragility fracture in people aged ≥50 years.

Design and setting

Population-based cohort study set in UK primary care.

Method

Anonymised primary care data (IQVIA Medical Research Database) were used. Patients with a diagnosis of SMI aged 50–99 years (2000–2018) were matched to individuals without SMI. Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Analyses were stratified by sex and age, accounting for social deprivation, year, smoking, alcohol, and body mass index.

Results

In total, 444 480 people were included (SMIn= 50 006; unexposedn= 394 474). In men, diagnosis of SMI increased the likelihood of an osteoporosis diagnosis, with differences mainly observed among the youngest (aged 50–54 years: HR 2.12, 95% CI = 1.61 to 2.79) and the oldest (aged 85–99 years: HR 2.15, 95% CI = 1.05 to 4.37), and SMI increased the risk of fragility fractures across all ages. In women, SMI increased the risk of an osteoporosis diagnosis only in those aged 50–54 years (HR 1.16, 95% CI = 1.01 to 1.34), but increased the risk of fragility fractures across all ages. There were more than twice as many men with SMI with fragility fracture records than with an osteoporosis diagnosis: fragility fracture:osteoporosis = 2.10, compared with fragility fracture:osteoporosis = 1.89 in men without SMI. The fragility fracture:osteoporosis ratio was 1.56 in women with SMI versus 1.11 in women without SMI.

Conclusion

SMI is associated with an increased likelihood of fragility fractures and osteoporosis underdiagnosis. Interventions should be considered to mitigate the increased risk of fractures in people with SMI.

This study was planned and conducted to examine the relationship between satisfaction with hospital meals, nutritional status and hospital anxiety in individuals with cardiovascular diseases. This cross-sectional and descriptive study was conducted with patients receiving treatment in the cardiology clinic between October 2021 and October 2022. The nutritional status of the patients was evaluated with the Nutrition Risk Screening-2002, their satisfaction with hospital meals with the Hospital Food Services Patient Satisfaction Scale, and their anxiety and depression status with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. In addition, 24-hour food consumption records and anthropometric measurements were taken. The study was completed with a total of 152 participants, 85 males and 67 females. The mean score of the satisfaction with hospital food services scale was 81.50 ± 15.02, 17.8% (n=27) of the participants had anxiety and 32.9% (n=50) had depression. Patients at risk of malnutrition were less satisfied with hospital food services and had higher levels of anxiety (p<0.05). In addition, it was observed that anxiety scores decreased as individuals' satisfaction with hospital meals increased. In conclusion, it was observed that satisfaction with hospital food services was associated with patients' malnutrition risk and anxiety level. Therefore, it should be aimed to prevent hospital malnutrition and improve the mental health of patients by increasing satisfaction with hospital food services.

Published: July 2024

The rapid increase in the number of schools necessitates the evaluation of educational quality across all institutions, including both private and state-run schools, with a particular focus on Islamic schools. Organizational performance serves as a key indicator of an institution's effectiveness. This study aims to analyze the impact of organizational structure, conflict management, and internal control on the work environment and effectiveness of teachers in Islamic schools in Banten. The study population comprised teachers from Islamic schools in Banten, with a total sample size of 58 teachers. Data analysis was conducted using path analysis to assess the relationships between the variables. The analysis revealed that organizational structure, conflict management, and internal control positively influenced the teachers' work environment. Furthermore, the organizational structure was found to have a significant impact on work effectiveness. However, conflict management and internal control did not show a significant effect on teachers' work effectiveness. Additionally, the work environment had a positive effect on the effectiveness of the teachers' work. The findings indicate that a well-defined organizational structure enhances both the work environment and the effectiveness of teachers in Islamic schools. While conflict management and internal control are beneficial for improving the work environment, they do not directly influence work effectiveness. The positive correlation between the work environment and teacher effectiveness underscores the importance of fostering a supportive and well-structured organizational setting. This study underscores the critical role of organizational structure in enhancing teacher effectiveness in Islamic schools. While conflict management and internal control improve the work environment, their direct impact on effectiveness is limited. Creating a conducive work environment remains essential for maximizing the performance of teachers.

Published: July 2024

A universalização do acesso à saúde no Brasil trouxe consigo a necessidade de reorganização e ampliação dos serviços de saúde. Nesse contexto, a Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS) tornou-se uma prioridade governamental na reorientação das políticas de saúde em nível local, com a finalidade de facilitar o acesso às ações e serviços de saúde no Sistema único de Saúde (SUS). Assim, este estudo teve como objetivo analisar do acesso a ações e serviços da APS durante a pandemia da Covid-19 (2020-2022), em um município do interior da Bahia, que integra o território de identidade do Sisal, fazendo parte da microrregião de Serrinha. Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo, de caráter exploratório, que utilizou como instrumento de coleta de dados a entrevista semiestruturada. O método de análise de dados foi a análise de conteúdo temática. Os participantes foram gestores e trabalhadores de saúde vinculados à Secretaria Municipal de Saúde, compondo um total de quatro pessoas. Os resultados mostraram que o fluxo de acesso, antes da pandemia, se dava quase que exclusivamente por demanda espontânea e, durante a pandemia, mediante agendamento, realizado com o apoio do Agente Comunitário de Saúde (ACS). As ações e serviços que tiveram oferta restrita foram: atendimentos a usuários portadores de hipertensão e diabetes e as consultas de pré-natal. As estratégias utilizadas pelos trabalhadores de saúde para manter/ampliar o acesso aos serviços da APS foram o redimensionamento de horários de atendimentos; o uso de telessaúde e redes sociais e a capacidade de articulação dos ACS com a comunidade. Tais achados mostram a capacidade da APS enquanto reordenadora da atenção à saúde no intuito de ampliar a universalidade e a integralidade no SUS.

Este ensaio pretende cruzar a produção pictórica de Édouard Manet e o problema do erotismo, conforme exposto por Georges Bataille. Ao que tudo indica, boa parte do trabalho de Manet parece dedicado ao problema do erotismo. Entendido como extravagância que também conforma a existência humana, o erotismo de Bataille guia a avaliação de algumas pinturas de Manet. Em especial, alguns nus femininos, pinturas dedicadas à tourada e à morte.
Mulheres, vento e geo-grafia

Published: July 2024

Este artigo é sobre a presença de duas mulheres em dois documentários, filmados em comunidades habitadas pelo vento. O objetivo é seguir e descrever seus percursos nas imagens para pensar com (Haraway, 2023) elas sobre o cuidado na manutenção da vida contra o fim do mundo. A grafia de seus corpos na paisagem e o uso da tecnologia da bolsa convida a refletir sobre uma presença relacional (Escobar, 2014), aterrada, que reconhece os seres dos quais dependem (Latour, 2020). A conclusão é que seus modos de vida desafiam o entendimento moderno-colonial e sua presença no cinema potencializa uma grafia contracolonial (Bispo dos Santos, 2023), uma geo-grafia (Porto Gonçalves, 2002) feita de intrincados entrelaçamentos de vidas que coabitam os lugares.

In the proposed theory, a metal atom is removed by kinetic energy transfer from a “lucky electron” that ballistically traverses a metal nanocontact, when the applied voltage exceeds the surface self-diffusion potential of the metal. The histogram of the critical voltage, V
c, at which metal atoms are removed, depends on the temperature as well as the probability for an atom being removed by collision with a lucky electron. The histograms of V
c for Au, Ni, Pd are well explained by the present theory.

Elementos do fascismo brasileiro
Authors: Soares dos Santos Batista Sueli , Freire Emerson
Published: July 2024

This study seeks to problematize the elements of fascism considering the Brazilian political-social situation and its effects on education. Based on a bibliographical review, we start from the current political dramaturgy to discuss, on the one hand, the need for the permanent elaboration of the past as an urgent democratic task of the present as opposed, on the other hand, to the constant authoritarian elaboration of the present through production of subjectivities via fake news and other devices. In this scenario, the limits, and possibilities of still educating ourselves for democracy, for emancipation, in increasingly neo-fascist contexts associated with authoritarian neoliberalism policies are questioned. It appears that the notion of adaptation, among other elements of fascism, becomes a kind of political imperative and an end of culture and education, fostering the process of ultra-right tendencies that has emerged globally and with strength in recent years.
Em um momento contrarrevolucionário, o que vem a seguir?
Authors: Mota Filho Antonio
Published: July 2024

The worldwide rise of the far right has drawn attention to the ‘crisis of democracy’. Beyond recent conjunctural aspects, it is possible to trace the criticism of the social aspects of democracy back to the origins of neoliberalism, understood as a counter-revolutionary political movement. The question of democracy has moved to the centre of the work of left-wing movements, which requires reflection on the political content of bourgeois democracy and the ways of acting in a counter-revolutionary moment. This paper deals with Rosa Luxemburg's formulations on the importance of democracy and on the actions of the socialist movement in periods of political reflux through her work on the Russian Empire. By critically recovering the ideas of the Polish revolutionary, it seeks to contribute to the formulation of possible responses to contemporary political challenges.
O movimento pendular da grande burguesia industrial brasileira
Authors: Oliveira de Carvalho Senra Gabriel
Published: July 2024

Between 1996 and 2016, the Brazilian industrial bourgeoisie carried out a pendulum movement of rapprochement and subsequent separation from working class organizations and their political perspectives. In the long term, however, the tendency is for the possibility of new “developmentalist” cycles to narrow and for neoliberalism to deepen in Brazil.

Coronavirus related (SARS-CoV-2) global pandemic has caused significant mortality and morbidity globally in the last three years. Although, pandemic has waned since last year, we are not in great peace of relief due to lingering effects of COVID-19 persisted even after two years of illness. Radiological phenotypes are radiological patterns or observable characteristics of COVID-19 pneumonia. Radiological outcomes are initially interpreted as post covid lung fibrosis in short term follow-up of recovered COVID-19 cases in post covid care settings and during long term evaluation these abnormalities are defined as post covid sequalae’s. In present case report, 38-year male, presented in outdoor unit for shortness of breath on exertion with history of severe COVID-19 Pneumonia resulted into acute respiratory distress syndrome with hospitalization in intensive care unit one year back and required high flow nasal cannula (HFNC) with Non-invasive ventilatory support (NIV) for two weeks. He was offered oxygen supplementation at home with antibiotics for three months and no requirement of oxygen and some respiratory symptoms even after one year. His HRCT thorax documented at one year of discharge from hospital revealed typical interstitial opacities labelled as Persistent Residual lung abnormalities (RLAs) which are predominantly reticular and linear opacities in peripheral parts of lungs without honeycombing within typical pleural based areas with parenchymal bands and minimally altered lung architecture and preserved lung volume.

Candida albicans (C. albicans) is an opportunistic fungal pathogen that affects humans, animals, and birds. It is one of the most prevalent microbes found in clinical specimens. Candidiasis refers to endogenous fungal overgrowth under conditions of microbiota disruption or other host impairments. The study aimed to detect and isolate C. albicans based on morphological, cultural, and biochemical analysis. The present study examined 36 oral cavity samples from domestic chickens suspected of having candidiasis across various regions of Diyala Governorate in Iraq from September to November 2023. A total of twenty C. albicans were isolated from collected samples. PCR amplification of the 28S rDNA fungal gene, yielding the expected 260bp products, confirmed the identification of the yeasts. Using the Vitek 2 automated system, minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) for 6 common antifungal drugs were determined to test the antifungal susceptibility of a Candida clinical isolate. No resistance was found to Amphotericin B, Fluconazole, Flucytosine, Voriconazole, Caspofungin, or Micafungin in isolates from the oral cavity. In conclusion, the current study identified twenty C. albicans strains from chicken oral cavities and found them to be susceptible to all major classes of antifungals, indicating a lack of antifungal resistance in these isolates.

The production of traditional synthesized calcium D-pantothenate (D-PA) is accompanied with chemical pollution, therefore, the eco-friendly bio-fermentation technology has received widespread attention. In order to verify the safety of a novel D-PA product produced by genetically engineered bacteria (Escherichia coli K12), the authors of the current study investigated the influence of adding D-PA to the diet on growth performance and health status of broiler chickens. A total of 192 day-old healthy Arbor Acres broiler chickens with similar weight (43.21 ± 0.12 g) were randomly divided into 4 treatments with 6 replicates and 8 broiler chickens in each replicate (male and female in half). The Escherichia coli K12 was genetically engineered for the production of D-PA. The control group was fed with the basal diet containing 20 mg/kg synthesized D-PA (CT group). The treatments were supplemented with 20 (TCaP1 group, recommended dose group), 100 (TCaP5 group, 5-fold-dose group), and 200 (TCaP10 group, 10-fold-dose group) mg/kg bio-based D-PA product, respectively. The experiment lasted for 42 days and the growth performance and health status of broiler chickens were determined. The results indicated that the addition of 5- and 10-fold doses of bio-based D-PA could increase the average daily weight gain during 22-42 days of age and decrease the feed conversion rate during 22-42 and 1-42 days of age of broilers. There were some differences in white blood cell count, intermediate cell absolute value (MID) count, absolute granulocyte count, absolute lymphocyte count, granulocyte percentage, mean corpuscular volume, red blood cell distribution width-standard deviation, mean platelet volume and serum phosphorus and total bilirubin in different groups, compared with the CT group. Histological observations of the liver, spleen, pancreas, and small intestines showed that the tissue structures of various organs of the broiler chickens fed with the bio-based D-PA were clear, and no abnormal changes such as inflammatory cell infiltration and fibrous tissue hyperplasia were observed in all groups. In summary, dietary supplementation of bio-based D-PA was safe within the 10-fold- dose (200mg/kg) to broiler chickens during 1-42 days.
