Authors: Ivanov Boris I , Volkhin Dmitri I , Novikov Ilya L , Pitsun Dmitri K , Moskalev Dmitri O , Rodionov Ilya A , Il’ichev Evgeni , Vostretsov Aleksey G
Published: September 2020

A broadband low-noise four-stage high-electron-mobility transistor amplifier was designed and characterized in a cryogen-free dilution refrigerator at the 3.8 K temperature stage. The obtained power dissipation of the amplifier is below 20 mW. In the frequency range from 6 to 12 GHz its gain exceeds 30 dB. The equivalent noise temperature of the amplifier is below 6 K for the presented frequency range. The amplifier is applicable for any type of cryogenic microwave measurements. As an example we demonstrate here the characterization of the superconducting X-mon qubit coupled to an on-chip coplanar waveguide resonator.

Authors: de Sousa Romaildo Santos , de Andrade Alan Sulato , Masson Maria Lucia
Published: September 2020

This study aimed to evaluate the process of cellulose extraction from yacon stem using combined pulping and bleaching processes for produce nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC). First, chemical pulping process with NaOH was applied and, subsequently, the pulp obtained was bleached. From the chemical pulp (CP) bleached, NFC was obtained by the mechanical defibrillation in a colloidal grinder. Then, chemical composition, color, and infrared analysis of the pulps was performed. The pulping process showed a lower amount of extractives and lignin content, as a low yield and an excessively dark pulp. The CP bleached with NaClO2 showed the best results increased whiteness of the pulp. A suspension of NFC with fibers of 5–60 nm in diameter, high crystallinity index, and thermal stability was obtained. The results are promising and demonstrate the technical feasibility of obtaining NFC from yacon stems waste which is ideal to apply to other materials of the industry.

MULTI AKAD (HYBRID CONTRACT) INOVASI PRODUK LEMBAGA KEUANGAN SYARIAH
Authors: Nurul Arafah Shofy Liza
Published: September 2020

One of the parameters to assess whether a product meets sharia principles or not is to pay attention to the contracts and the various conditions used in the product. Products in Islamic finance activities, if against them are carried out by al-takyif al-fiqhi, some or even the majority of them contain several contracts. For example, in sharia credit card transactions there are ijarah, qardh and kafalah contracts, Islamic bonds contain at least mudharabah (or ijarah) and wakalah agreements, and sometimes with kafalah or wa'd, Islamic Swap contains several times the bargruq contract, bai ', wakalah, sharf and sometimes or always accompanied wa'ad. In every transaction, the contracts are carried out simultaneously or at least every contract contained in a product cannot be abandoned, because all of them are one entity. Such transactions are termed the multi contract (hybrid contract) which is now in the terminology of contemporary muamalat fiqh (fiqh al-mu'amalat al-maliyah al-mu'ashirah) called al-'uqud al-murakkabah.
Situation versus Case and Two Kinds of Legal Subsumption
Authors: Čyras Vytautas , Lachmayer Friedrich
Published: September 2020

This paper attempts to separate legal informatics methods which deal with situations and cases respectively. The aim is to base the distinctions on the legal theory and to develop a theoretical framework. A comparison is presented in the table which lists distinctions. We make an attempt to describe key elements of such a theory and to provide a notation (conceptualisation). Informational processes in legal informatics are in the focus. The notions of terminological subsumption and legal subsumption are attributed to cases and not to situations and are visualised «vertically». They make a distinction from cases that are visualised on the «horizontal» Is stage.

Dual Textuality of Law
Authors: Čyras Vytautas , Lachmayer Friedrich
Published: September 2020

This paper treats legal informatics as a scientific bridge between law and legal documentation. Ten layers are distinguished in the realm of law, e.g., phrase, sentence, sentence formation, and legal act. Four kinds of representation are distinguished in legal documentation (a document representation, a syntactic one, a semantic one, and a pragmatic one). A granularity question is discussed: what is the smallest entity – a document, a sentence or a word? Different software systems are built within each layer. Such applications link different layers of law with different representations.
The Logical Analysis of the Concept of a Right in Terms of Legal Meta-Sentences
Authors: Yoshino Hajime
Published: September 2020

This paper analyzes the concept of rights from a logical point of view. We start on two types of legal sentences: legal object sentences and legal meta-sentences. A legal object sentence describes an obligation of its addressee and a legal meta-sentence describes the validity of a legal sentence. We consider a legal sentence one that describes someone’s right as a legal meta-sentence. We clarify logically how legal meta-sentences regulating rights work to establish the validity of legal object sentences in legal reasoning on a concrete legal case.

Pattern of Glucose Tolerance among Patients with Peripheral Spondyloarthritis
Authors: Hasan A T M Tanveer , . Al-Mamun
Published: September 2020

Peripheral spondyloarthritis is a variant of spondyloarthritis which usually has a chronic course. There is an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases among patients with chronic inflammatory diseases in general. Coexisting diabetes mellitus can potentially add to the risk. The objective of this study was to determine the frequency of glucose intolerance in patients with spondyloarthritis The study was conducted among 35 participants with peripheral spondyloarthritis who visited the Department of Rheumatology, Enam Medical College & Hospital, Savar, Dhaka, Bangladesh from September, 2018 to January, 2020. The participants underwent either oral glucose tolerance test or estimation of HbA1C. The mean age of participants was 43.96 years. The majority (80%) of them were young to muddle-aged (≤40 years). 22.9% of the participants were prediabetic. Diabetes mellitus was found to be present in 37.1% of the participants. There was no significant difference between the study population and the general population in terms of frequency of prediabetes. But the frequency of diabetes in the study population was higher than that in the general population. There was no significant difference between males and females with regard to the frequencies of prediabetes and DM. Moreover, there was no significant difference in the frequencies of prediabetes and DM between young and middle-aged to elderly population. Considering the greater burden of DM among patients with peripheral spondyloarthritis across all age groups, routine screening for DM may be indicated in these individuals.

Published: September 2020

This article examines the possibilities of using waste heat in a building for the production of medical products. During the production, 6 compressors operate continuously, and the generated excess heat is removed through coolers or partially used in building heating, ventilation and domestic hot water production systems. The aim of this article is to model and evaluate the possibilities of using waste heat after performing the analysis of heat flow demand of all the engineering systems. The pinch method is used to achieve this goal. Heat flows and heat exchanger network are modelled using PinCH 3.0 software. The performed assessment shows that with the help of pinch analysis, in the analysed object it is possible to recover and use more than 20% of waste heat as compared to the initial design variant.

We report the measurement of a spectroscopic transit of TOI-1726c, one of two planets transiting a G-type star with V = 6.9 in the Ursa Major Moving Group (∼400 Myr). With a precise age constraint from cluster membership, TOI-1726 provides a great opportunity to test various obliquity excitation scenarios that operate on different timescales. By modeling the Rossiter–McLaughlin (RM) effect, we derived a sky-projected obliquity of

. This result rules out a polar/retrograde orbit and is consistent with an aligned orbit for planet c. Considering the previously reported, similarly prograde RM measurement of planet b and the transiting nature of both planets, TOI-1726 tentatively conforms to the overall picture that compact multitransiting planetary systems tend to have coplanar, likely aligned orbits. TOI-1726 is also a great atmospheric target for understanding differential atmospheric loss of sub-Neptune planets (planet b 2.2 R
⊕ and c 2.7 R
⊕ both likely underwent photoevaporation). The coplanar geometry points to a dynamically cold history of the system that simplifies any future modeling of atmospheric escape.
How Effective is Superolateral Orbital Decompression in Cases of Drug-Resistant Graves’ Ophthalmopathy
Authors: Shamov Todor , Eftimov Tihomir , Krasimirov Georgi
Published: September 2020

Introduction: Graves’ ophthalmopathy (GO) is the most common and difficult-to-treat extrathyroidal symptom of Graves’ disease. Though retraction of the upper eyelid is the most common clinical feature of GO, it can have a much more severe clinical manifesta-tion with symptoms such as conjunctival chemosis, keratopathy, extraocular muscle dysfunction, proptosis of the bulb and dysthyroid optic neuropathy. Treatment methods include control of the thyroid function, corticosteroid and immunosuppressive therapy as well as radiotherapy. These approaches are ineffective in one-third of cases, with patients being refractory to all aforementioned therapeutic modalities. In these cases, surgical decompression of the orbit is in order.The spectrum of surgical techniques is wide and varies from decompression of the lateral wall of the orbit to decompression via removal of all four orbital walls. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the results of superolateral orbital decompression.

Patients and methods: The study is retrospective and covers the period from January 2009 to January 2019. During that period eight patients with Graves’ ophthalmopathy underwent surgery and were followed up in the Department of Neurosurgery in the Mili-tary Medical Academy, Sofia. The mean age of the patients was 57 years, with the youngest being 30 years old and the oldest – 74 years old. The gender distribution was 1.6/1 with predominance in females (5 women and 3 men). The surgical approach we used is a com-bination of lateral and upper orbitotomy and was described in detail by Al-Mefty. All of patients underwent ophthalmic examinations in the pre- and postoperative period, with special attention to their visual acuity, the condition of the eyelid and the width of the ocular slit. Exophthalmometry was obtained via Hertel’s method. The participants in this study are followed for a period of six months after the operation.

Results: All eight patients underwent superolateral orbitotomy. There were a total of ten orbital decompressions. Improvement of visual acuity and reduction of the proptosis were reported in all other surgically treated patients. The mean reported improvement of visual acuity (measured via Snellen’s method) was 0.27±0.17. The mean reported a reduction of proptosis was 7.53±2.58 mm.

Conclusions: Although the surgical techniques for orbital decompression we used have significant disadvantages, they remain the only alternative in order to avoid the complication of severe GO.

Authors: Kitov Borislav , Kehayov Ivo , Davarski Atanas , Stoyanova Rumyana
Published: September 2020

Introduction: Spinal epidural abscess is uncommon but potentially debilitating infection. Delay in early diagnosis may be associated with increased morbidity and mortality despite recent advances in medicine.

Aim: To present the clinical course and outcome of treatment of spontaneous spinal epidural abscesses.

Materials and methods: Thirty-four patients (20 men and 14 women) with clinical, neuroimaging and/or histological data for spinal epidural abscess were treated at the Clinic of Neurosurgery at St George University Hospital, Plovdiv, Bulgaria, for the period 2009-2018.

Results: The average age of patients was 62 years (21-76 years) and the ratio of men to women was 1.4:1. All patients (100%) presented with vertebralgia, 13 patients (38.2%) had additional radiculalgia, and 10 patients (29.4%) presented with sensory or motor deficit. The duration of complaints varied from 4 to 180 days. At hospital admission, only 9 patients (26.4%) had intact neurological status. The most common localization of the spinal epidural abscess was in the lumbar and lumbosacral area (52.9%), concomitant spondylodiscitis was present in 31 patients (91.2%). Twenty-four patients (70.6%) underwent emergency surgery within 24 hours, and the rest had planned surgery. Decompressive interlaminotomy or hemilaminectomy was performed in 9 patients (26.5%). The remaining 25 patients (73.5%) underwent laminectomy, in 15 patients (44.1%) it was combined with posterior pedicle screw fixation. After the treatment, 23 patients (67.6%) had a good outcome, the remaining 11 (32.4%) had a poor outcome, and 3 patients died (8.8%).

Conclusion: In patients with spinal epidural abscess, emergency surgery is the treatment method of choice. It allows decompression of neural structures, correction of the spinal deformity, segmental stabilization and rapid mobilization of patients.
Anarchism and the Indigenous Peoples of Guatemala: A Tenuous Relation
Authors: Monteflores Omar Lucas
Published: September 2020

While the indigenous peoples of Guatemala and its history of anarchist thought are seldom studied together but there is merit to exploring the differences and convergences between the anarchist movement's perspectives on class and ethnicity and those of better understood liberal, socialist
and communist traditions. Anarchists in Guatemala made tentative efforts to reach out to rural workers and peasants in the period between 1928 to 1932, but these efforts were circumscribed and largely unsuccessful. They did so under the influence of more structured movements in Mexico and
Argentina, which incorporated visions of collective emancipation that would appeal to autonomous indigenous movements; however their brief embrace of these issues, interrupted by fierce repression by the state, was curtailed by the overwhelming urban base from which they intervened in labour
and social struggles. The reasons for this failure lay in the history of Guatemalan race relations and the structural divisions between urban and rural society that endured during the transition from colonial to republican society, and which anarchists tied to overcome.
L’accompagnement solidaire des mineurs non accompagnés « francophones » sans solution scolaire
Authors: Mendonça Dias Catherine , Rigoni Isabelle
Published: September 2020

De nombreux jeunes originaires de pays francophones d’Afrique subsaharienne arrivent seuls, chaque année, en France. Dans l’attente de la reconnaissance de leur minorité, ils ne bénéficient pas encore des droits dédiés aux mineurs et se retrouvent souvent, durant cette phase de latence, sans domicile ni scolarisation. Le tissu associatif local supplée alors les carences institutionnelles. Les bénévoles poursuivent auprès d’eux des démarches socioéducatives de façon structurée dans des cours ou informellement dans des espaces de vie partagés. Comment se co-construit, entre les jeunes et leurs accompagnants, cette phase éducative en dehors de toute prise en charge institutionnelle et dans une langue asymétriquement maîtrisée entre les interlocuteurs ? À partir d’entretiens menés avec des bénévoles, les deux auteures (l’une sociologue, l’autre linguiste) analysent leur rôle éducatif.
Viñedos en terrazas en la región vitivinícola del Duero, Portugal: una perspectiva de la gestión del suelo y el agua
Authors: De Figueiredo Tomás , Fonseca Felícia , Hernández Zulimar
Published: September 2020

Los viñedos del Duero son un ejemplo sorprendente de protección del suelo, materializado, en un paisaje fuertemente humanizado, donde las terrazas cubren una gran parte de la región. Este trabajo tiene como objetivo presentar una perspectiva sobre las mejoras en la gestión del suelo y el agua en los viñedos en terrazas del Duero, como respuesta a las responsabilidades reales determinadas por el estatuto del Patrimonio Mundial de la UNESCO, para preservar un paisaje cultural, vivo y evolutivo. Después de enfatizar sobre la importancia de los viñedos en terrazas del Duero en el territorio continental portugués y las limitaciones naturales para la producción de cultivos que caracterizan el valle del Duero, se describen los tipos de terrazas presentes en el paisaje del Duero, junto con los cambios en el uso del suelo debido a las operaciones de las terrazas agrícolas. Además de la rehabilitación de las estructuras de piedra seca como parte de las intervenciones de preservación del patrimonio cultural de la región, las áreas de riesgo crítico en las laderas aterrazadas identificadas recientemente se identifican como una prioridad para las intervenciones de protección del suelo y gestión del agua. Se trata de las áreas de viñedos más expuestas al impacto directo de las lluvias erosivas y comprenden los pasillos entre líneas de la vid, especialmente en viñedos no aterrazados, los taludes desnudos de tierra en terrazas de origen reciente, y las redes de caminos y drenaje agrícolas, espacialmente coincidentes, en laderas empinadas plantadas extensivamente. Prácticas innovadoras de gestión del suelo y agua deben desarrollarse y probarse localmente en un diálogo cercano con los actores regionales.

Pleitos de judios en la Real Chancillería de Valladolid. Regesta de sus cartas ejecutorias (1486-1495)
Authors: Varona M.ª Antonia
Published: September 2020

La convivencia de las comunidades cristiana y judía es uno de los temas más apasionantes de la historia de España. U no de sus capítulos más interesantes es el de la administración de justicia, todavía hoy poco conocido. Aunque los judíos gozaban de cierta autonomía judicial e incluso algunas de sus disposiciones les prohibían acudir con sus pleitos a las justicias cristianas, no siempre se cumplieron y en numerosas ocasiones se acogieron a ellas; pero, evidentemente, para los asuntos en los que estaban implicados individuos de ambas comunidades, los jueces siempre fueron cristianos. Fruto de ello son los pleitos que se conservan en el Archivo de la Real Chancillería de Valladolid. Hemos querido, con este trabajo, poner al alcance de los historiadores esta rica documentación, para lo cual hemos realizado un regesto de todos los procesos, tanto civiles como criminales, que los judíos tramitaron en el tribunal de la Chancillería en las postrimerías del siglo XV.
Il testo consonantico della tradizione babilonese. Ms. Opp.Add. 4 154 della Biblioteca Bodleiana
Authors: Miletto Gianfranco
Published: September 2020

Este artículo forma parte de un proyecto sobre manuscritos llevado a cabo bajo los auspicios del Prof. Paolo Sacchi. Estudia el Ms. Opp.Add. 4 154 de la Biblioteca Bodleiana, de proveniencia yemení. La comparación de sus lecturas con las variantes recogidas por Kennicott y De Rossi y con las versiones antiguas confirma los resultados descritos en la primera parte de ese proyecto: el texto babilónico (TB) es antiguo y similar al tiberiense y su base común es el antiguo texto hebreo. Las coincidencias del TB con Aquila, Teodoción, Symmaco, Orígenes y Jerónimo muestran que ese texto era corriente en Palestina al menos hasta el siglo IV d. C. Cuando el texto tiberiense suplantó al babilónico en el siglo X, el TB toda vía pervivía en comunidades yemeníes. Muchas variantes del TB están atestiguadas en manuscritos askenazíes y, consecuentemente, en la Biblia de Soncino.
La llamada inscripción de Adoniram y el cementerio judío de Sagunto
Authors: Corell Josep
Published: September 2020

A finales del siglo XV se encontró en Sagunto una inscripción hebrea sobre una lápida que, por una lectura errónea, fue atribuida a Adoniram, recaudador de tributos de Salomón. La noticia despertó una larga y acalorada polémica; muchos negaron su autenticidad, afirmando que era una ficción literaria. Pero una mala lectura no implica una falsificación epigráfica. En este artículo, el autor aporta nuevas fuentes manuscritas que confirman la autenticidad del hallazgo e indican cuál era el lugar del cementerio judío de Sagunto. Intenta, además, reconstruir el tenor original de la inscripción desaparecida.

Ex 17,8-16 und Dt 25,17-19 beim Wort genommen
Authors: Dietzfelbinger Rudolf
Published: September 2020

En este artículo se comparan Ex 17,8-16 y Deut 25,17-19. Ambos textos tratan del ataque de Amaleq a Israel. A pesar de que este hecho se narra de manera distinta en cada uno de ellos, la consecuencia es la misma: poner de manifiesto el propósito de exterminar al otro pueblo para, según la voluntad de Yahveh, extinguir la memoria de Amaleq. Una importante diferencia en la descripción de ambos episodios es que el texto del Éxodo se abstiene de valorar moralmente el ataque de Amaleq, mientras que el autor deuteronómico sí lo valora de manera explícita; parece ser que, para él, la espontánea y en cierto modo natural reacción reflejada en Ex 17 no era suficiente. ¿Se puede reconocer en esta forma de justificación moral un avance histórico?
Particularism and Universalism in the Linguistic Theory of Saadia Gaon
Authors: Dotan Aron
Published: September 2020

Como iniciador y generador de la gramática hebrea, Saadia Gaón (882-942) dependió de la escuela gramatical árabe. Seguidor del pensamiento y tendencias lingüísticas de los árabes, tomó de ellos prestado gran parte de su método y terminología gramatical. que aplicó, con los cambios necesarios, al hebreo. Fue el autor de la primera gramática, Kitāb faṣīḥ luḡat al-‛ibrāniyyīn, en la que expuso los fundamentos de la estructura gramatical hebrea. Su tendencia universalista se puso de manifiesto en su estudio comparativo de la lengua, campo en el que fue pionero, superando a sus modelos árabes. Centró su atención en los rasgos lingüísticos comunes a todas las lenguas, en especial las de su propio medio cultural: hebreo, árabe y arameo. Saadia demostró también su familiaridad con las teorías contemporáneas relativas al origen del lenguaje. Donde los árabes habían conseguido logros considerables, él fue más allá mostrando así su originalidad.
National Culture and the Social Relations of Anywhere Working
Authors: Berrell Mike
Published: September 2020

Western ideas about work have developed as macro and micro level changes continue to shape the social relations of work. As anywhere working developed as an alternative to traditional work arrangements in the 1990s, a system of checks and balances ensured the work practice delivered customer service and product quality. Western low-context work cultures situated the work practice as a logical development in the chronology of the social relations of work. With its tipping-point in the West reached, anywhere working received less attention in high-context work cultures. Specifically, this chapter investigates how the concept of “national culture” impacts thinking about anywhere working. In the high-context work cultures of East and South East Asia, employers, employees, and the stakeholders of organizations and governments have divergent views about the legitimacy of this work practice. The chapter discusses the influence of national culture on thinking about anywhere working in high-context work cultures, drawing on current data concerning anywhere working in selected Asian economies.
Humans Need Not Apply
Authors: Berrell Mike
Published: September 2020

Advanced technologies including artificial intelligence, robotics, and machine learning (smart machines) impact understandings about the nature of work. For professionals, semi-professionals, and ancillary workers supplying healthcare and legal services, for example, smart machines change the social relations of work and subvert notions of status and hierarchy that come with occupational groups such as doctors or lawyers. As smart machines continue to disrupt employment, job advertisement might soon carry the warning that humans need not apply. Under the prospect of a new world of work, people require additional knowledge, skills, and attitudes to cope with a future where smart machines radically alter the nature of work in settings where some people work anywhere and anytime while others work nowhere. In any future, people require skills and attitudes to cope with uncertainty. Ideas about multiple intelligences, emotional intelligence, critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving will help employees cope with any of the futures of work predicted in the literature.
Design for the Future of Work
Authors: Tuğlu Karslı Umut
Published: September 2020

The paradigm shift in work dynamics in the digital age leads the evolution of how and where people work. Knowledge workers adopt more flexible working styles: they connect to their laptops and work anywhere. The main disadvantage of this way of working is social isolation. Creative industries often require interdisciplinary interaction and collaboration. Coworking spaces have emerged in order to remove this isolation and create a third place apart from home and office. These spaces have been studied by disciplines such as economics, work psychology, and geography but studies on their spatial characteristics are limited. The aim of the chapter is to propose a conceptual framework to identify design implications for the coworking spaces in terms of spatial preferences of users. Accordingly, literature related to changing work dynamics and workplaces, rise of coworking spaces, and coworking space typology are discussed. The conclusion of the chapter is to propose design implications, which will inform designers, researchers, and managers on best practice for coworking space design.
Imparting OBE to the Younger Generation
Authors: S. Padma , R. Pugazendi
Published: September 2020

Today's education scenario is exclusively towards OBE. The system is very much concerned about the outcome. Several modalities have been designed to provide the outcomes. Subjects are framed to meet the global standards. To enhance the learning, several teaching practices must be adopted. The cognitive level of the students differs from each other. The traditional teaching methods may not deliver the expected outcome. Updation in means of technology is required; at the same time update in the knowledge of teacher is also essential. In a nutshell, OBE concept can be achieved by framing a good syllabus, teaching methodology, teacher, assessment technique, and environment.

Authors: Patra J. P. , Jain Alok Kumar , Verma Gurudatta , Samal Sumitra
Published: September 2020

The revolution of the world economy and higher education are driving profound changes in the engineering education system. Worldwide adaptation of outcome-based education framework and enhanced focus on higher-order learning and professional skills necessitates a paradigm shift in traditional practices of curriculum design, education delivery, and assessment. In recent years, worldwide sweeping reforms are being undertaken to bring about essential changes in engineering education in terms of what to teach (content) and how to teach (knowledge delivery) and how to assess (student learning). MHRD and AICTE jointly introduce so many new professional skills through MOOCs and also set some performance indicator to measure the outcomes. This chapter deals with the critical issues present in technical institutions and how it can be neutralized through POs, PSOs, PEOs, and Bloom's Taxonomy.

Nascent entrepreneurship plays an important role in the study of entrepreneurship. It has been studied from different angles, especially from the psychological and sociological perspective as nascent entrepreneurs have distinctive traits and competencies. Other important foci of research are the investigation of the environment in which nascent entrepreneurs operate, as well as the way both the identification and exploitation of entrepreneurial opportunities have emerged. The main objective of this chapter is to address (1) the main individual characteristics that entrepreneurs have in common; (2) the environmental factors contributing to new venture creation; and (3) the steps in the creation process. The chapter departs from the fundamental process of nascent entrepreneurship, which is centered on opportunity recognition, evaluation, and exploitation, and is complemented by the way how contextual factors and personal characteristics and competencies influence the new venture creation process.

Our society faces many obstacles in its continuing growth and development. With the shared anxiety of recent threats such as COVID-19, individuals around the world are forming their own ways to combat change and degradation. Even small hospitality businesses in Tasmania have been deeply impacted, with many close to closing their doors due to the reliance on the tourism industry. The absence of relevant and extensive research into nascent entrepreneurship continues to limit the pragmatic and theoretical application of the potential individuals have to instigate change. As such, the authors highlight the need for further study into the emergence and potential of entrepreneurs to further explore their behavioral development and growth. In doing so, they look to answer our research question: How can authentic leadership behaviors provide a clearer understanding to the phenomena of nascent entrepreneurial emergence and aid in their ethical development?

Capacity for innovation is mainly the courage to try. A couple from the municipality of Vila Nova de Famalicão, Portugal, started growing a vegetable garden at home in 2013, hardly knowing that this would become the project of their lives. The experiments that this professional designer and this computer engineer carried out were successful with family and friends, and so, motivated on entrepreneurial spirit, they decided to encourage others to grow their own food, even in confined spaces. That is how the company Life in a Bag was born. This chapter discusses the strategic dimension of the company and its relationship with the market, through the application of the model of Porter's Five Forces, Bowman's Strategy Clock, and the types of diversification. This analysis was enriched by company document analysis and a meeting with the owners of the startup to gather more details.
Examining Causal Linkages for Sustainable Development
Authors: Rana Ritu , Sharma Manoj , Danish Mir Sayed Shah
Published: September 2020

This chapter aims to summarize the literature comprising several variables crucial for sustainable development and the examination of causal linkages existing among these variables. This chapter explores the existing literature related to the causality-testing techniques used by several researchers and academicians in the field of sustainable development. This study sums up with a wide variety of existing causality-testing techniques in the literature (both conventional and latest/improved ones). Still, researchers are making efforts for further studies and strive to continually look for examining these causal linkages in a better way. Although several variables have been used in previous studies to explore the causality relationships for sustainable development, it seems there is no limit to the number of such explanatory variables. Therefore, causality testing for sustainable development has a broader scope always for further research advancements in this area.

Such unaccustomed methods are our hope for a cleaner, safer, and brighter future. This chapter revolves around the methods employed to brawl the threats posed to the viability of water at earth from emerging contaminants and the efforts made by mankind to prevent it. Nanotechnology has potent attributes for water decontamination. Several nanotech-based devices, methods, and treatments have been used in recent times for wastewater treatment such as nanomembranes, nano photocatalysts, nano-cellulose, nano-absorbent, and nanocomposite materials. The chapter discusses these contemporary developments in nano-based technologies and the various advancements, which have been recently made in conventional techniques used for wastewater treatment technologies.
Incentivizing Adjunct Faculty Participation in Professional Development
Authors: Cooper Lori J.
Published: September 2020

Without professional development, faculty members may not stay current in their methods and techniques for teaching, which can translate into a less effective learning environment for students. With online education and programs growing in an upward trend, it is imperative that faculty members have access to professional development that support current online teaching methodology and pedagogical/andrological practices. Turning to motivational methods may increase the level of engagement with professional development, where adjunct faculty members feel they are rewarded for their time and participation. This chapter uses motivation theories as a framework to review the existing literature on incentives for online adjunct faculty members who engage in professional development and the best practices for professional development. Colleges and universities can use this information to establish professional development programs and practices that may increase the level of online adjunct faculty members' participation in professional development opportunities.
It Is Not About the Money
Authors: Ervin Katie
Published: September 2020

This chapter will discuss the motivation of remote adjunct faculty members by utilizing the theoretical framework of self-determination theory. This will assist institutions in understanding why these faculty members teach, and understanding their motivation will assist institutions in recruiting, hiring, developing, and retaining qualified remote adjunct faculty members. As online programs in higher education continue to grow, there is a persistent increase in the usage of remote adjunct faculty. If an organization has strong, qualified adjunct faculty members but does not take care of them, the adjunct faculty member will go elsewhere to teach. People typically make job decisions based on money, but job retention decisions typically rest on autonomy and culture. With the growth in the number of adjunct faculty members, universities may be challenged to find qualified instructors, which makes retention even more critical.
Constructing Online Equity for Adjunct Faculty Who Teach Across Geography
Authors: Holt Karyn E. , Clements Paul Thomas
Published: September 2020

With growing national online enrollments in higher education, a need exists for innovative practices for adjunct faculty geographically distant from campus. This chapter demonstrates the outcomes of a Teaching Across Geography Group (TAGG) at a private not-for-profit university with 27,000 students enrolled, 7,000 of whom are online. The purpose of this group was to identify resources in place and establish equitable access for faculty working online. All faculty need to receive the same degree of support to meet the academic requirements for teaching online. This support, however, looks different as it comes in the form of alternative access that is equitable, even if not equal, and results in the seamless inclusion of this faculty population. Shared practices for all academic units within a university can streamline communication between all online faculty and all on-ground faculty regardless of academic rank or academic status (full or part-time), and it promotes a “one faculty” university rather than multiple entities in silos working together.
