Shaping M&A Deal Outcomes: From Failure to Enabling Better M&A Performance
Authors:   , Paumen Timo
Published: May 2023

The M&A literature is broad and fragmented. It studies M&A success and failure from various disciplinary perspectives and examines M&A deal outcomes at separate stages of the M&A process. Despite the increase in M&A activity, M&A failure rates continue to be high throughout recent years. This dissertation comprises four separate studies which shed light on this issue.
Paper I is a literature review in which I systematically analyze studies on M&A failure. The findings reveal three blind spots of the current M&A literature which need to be addressed. These are a) the need for clarity on the definition and operationalization of M&A failure, b) the need for more integration among disciplines, and c) the need to adopt a more processual perspective on M&A phases instead of a within-phase analysis.
The consequent three papers are empirical studies which contribute to filling the identified research gaps. Paper II is a quantitative study on target pricing which takes different types of bidders into account. I conclude that more research is needed to understand the outperformance of private equity funds. As this stream of literature is in a nascent stage, I call for more qualitative and explorative research on the topic.
In a consequent qualitative study, I explain M&A deal outcomes with regard to the private equity bidder type. In this study, three characteristics (i.e., organizational set-up, private equity investors’ professional identities, and an integrative work approach) are identified which were brought together into a theoretical framework that explains how private equity professionals can enable better M&A performance. The findings further underline the effectiveness of specific incentivization approaches applied in private equity funds.

In the fourth study, the research focus is on the firm’s organizational culture, M&A teams, and individual professionals. Three prevailing team roles (i.e., project manager, expert and executor) are identified which require a specific set of soft and hard skills that explain how M&A teams can enable M&A success in terms of deal execution and completion. Furthermore, evidence to how aspects of project timing, such as deadlines and simultaneous projects, shape the team members’ work is provided. Finally, the findings underline the importance of accumulating experience and learning effects on M&A deal outcomes, shaping both the M&A team culture and the team members’ skill sets.
Theory and Praxis of Social Ministry in the Mission of the Redeemed Christian Church of God
Authors:   , Adebayo Kehinde Francis
Published: May 2023

This study of the theology implicit in the social practice of the RCCG explores the struggle for a holistic mission approach by highlighting the failure of the Lausanne congresses to provide a missiology that gives equal place to social ministry and gospel proclamation as components of mission. It also showed that the Latin American contribution of Integral mission cannot entirely respond to the African question because of the difference in worldviews. It was argued that Latin Americans interpreted their
socioeconomic predicament from a sociohistorical standpoint, whereas Africans tend to interpret theirs from a standpoint that includes spiritual forces. This particular African approach positions African Pentecostalism for implicit and explicit theological investigation. In this study, the Pentecostal family is represented by the RCCG.
The study applied a hybrid of methods to demonstrate that Pentecostalism in Africa and elsewhere are
not oblivious to social ministry as a component of mission. It was also affirmed that the observation of Pentecostalism’s alleged lack of social vision is based on the paucity – until recently, that is – of Pentecostal theological literature on the nature of social ministry in the context of the church’s mission.
It was noted that African Pentecostals demonstrate contextual sensitivity by addressing African problems and phenomena, by holistically drawing on the African religious worldview. In the end, the study sheds light on the rather scanty picture of African Pentecostal mission, especially its social component.
Mitigation of heat strain during exercise in hot-humid conditions
Authors:   , Alkemade Puck
Published: May 2023

Hot-humid environmental conditions have a negative impact on exercise performance and increase the risk of exertional heat illness. To attenuate the adverse effects of heat stress, athletes can adopt heat mitigation strategies such as heat acclimation and cooling. In this thesis, we assessed individual responsiveness to exercise under heat stress and heat mitigation strategies. First, we focused on heat-induced performance decrements in able-bodied and para-athletes. In Chapter 2, we observed that, for both able-bodied and para-athletes, performance was substantially impaired in hot-humid compared to temperate conditions. We did, however, observe considerable inter-individual variability, suggesting that some athletes need to invest more in heat mitigation strategies (i.e., cooling and heat acclimation) than others. Second, we focused on heat acclimation in recreational athletes. In Chapter 3, we demonstrated that the magnitude of adaptations following humid heat acclimation varied across individuals. We found that individuals with a relatively large body mass showed large sweat rate adaptations, whereas individuals with a relatively small body mass showed large heart rate adaptations. In Chapter 4, we observed that humid heat acclimation did not negatively affect salivary immunoglobulin-A (i.e., an important biomarker of the mucosal immune system), self-reported respiratory illness symptoms, and self-reported wellness parameters. Third, we focused on heat mitigation strategies in para-athletes. Para-athletes with a spinal cord injury perform upper-body exercise, and therefore lower-body cooling may be convenient. However, in Chapter 5, we observed that for these athletes, lower-body cooling was less effective in lowering heat strain compared to upper-body cooling. In Chapter 6, we observed that many para-athletes at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games used heat acclimation and cooling strategies, which may have contributed to the low incidence of exertional heat illness. Altogether, the observations in this thesis indicate that heat mitigation needs and responsiveness vary across athletes, emphasizing that a one-size-fits-all heat mitigation approach may be suboptimal. Practitioners are encouraged to measure (thermo)physiological responses of individual athletes in the lab and/or field to determine their personal heat mitigation needs and responsiveness. Future studies should aim to further elucidate what factors influence the individual responsiveness to exercise under heat stress, cooling, and heat acclimation.

Impact of virtual education on urology education during the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Spooner Jesse T.R. , Wyatt MacNevin  , John Grantmyre
Published: May 2023

Introduction: The coronavirus pandemic changed the way urology education was delivered. At Dalhousie University, third-year medical students (clinical clerks) undergoing a two-week urology elective had the historic in-person seminars changed to virtual seminars with pre-recorded lectures by staff. The academic abilities of the clerks were measured via a standardized written exam and clinical score assigned by a staff preceptor. This study aimed to measure the impact of virtual education on student performance.
Methods: Clerk clinical and exam scores have been recorded since 2014. The in-person seminar (pre-COVID) cohort included students from January 2014 to March 2020 (n=109), while the virtual seminar (post-COVID) cohort was recorded from April 2020 to August 2022 (n=60). Independent T-test was used to compare clinical, exam, and total scores between the pre-COVID student groups after ensuring normality.
Results: Students in the virtual seminar group (mean ± standard deviation 88.69±6.50%) performed better than the in-person seminar student groups (86.32±6.33%) in terms of clinical performance gradings (p=0.02). There was no statistically significant difference in written exam scores between the in-person seminar and virtual seminar cohorts (77.34±10.94% vs. 78.75±11.37%, p=0.43). Cumulative scores were higher for virtual seminar student groups vs. in-person seminar cohort (86.70±5.40% vs. 84.52±5.44%, p=0.01).
Conclusions: Clinical clerks undergoing virtual education during a two-week urology elective had improved clinical and cumulative score performances when compared to the in-personal seminar cohort; virtual seminars did not statistically negatively impact exam scores.

Published: May 2023

Introduction: Management of testicular cancer requires a complete evaluation to confirm the localized stage and effective treatment according to guidelines to ensure the best outcome. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate practices at each stage of care in patients with a localized testicular tumor. The secondary objective was to evaluate the oncological prognosis of these patients according to the modalities of care.
Methods: We conducted a multicenter practice evaluation study with retrospective collection and evaluation of patient records. The study was conducted in two French departments (population pool of 2 million inhabitants) between January 1, 2010, and January 31, 2015, enabling a five-year followup of patients. Patients presenting with stage I testicular tumor according to the American Joint Committee on Cancer classification were included in the analysis.
Results: A total of 226 records were analyzed; 93% of patients underwent bilateral scrotal ultrasound and 93.25% had a chest-abdomen-pelvis computed tomography scan. A total of 29.65% of patients had a preoperative tumor marker assay in accordance with guidelines; 94% of patients had a total orchiectomy, with a median time of 15 days. At the end of the followup period, 17 patients had suffered a recurrence of their disease. Providing adjuvant care in accordance with guidelines reduced the risk of recurrence in patients with a seminomatous tumor.
Conclusions: Our study showed heterogeneity in compliance with guidelines for evaluation and effective treatment of patients with a localized testicular tumor. Some essential practices, such as assays of tumor markers and fertility preservation for patients over 40 years, were not well carried out. Adjuvant management of localized tumors appears to be an important predictor of recurrence.

Complete, Accessible, Now

The history of the research library represents a series of negotiations over the spatio-temporalities of knowledge. This article focuses on debates over the nature and organization of university research libraries triggered by Harvard president Charles W. Eliot’s 1902 proposal to partition “living” and “dead” books based on usage statistics, relocating “dead” books to offsite storage inaccessible for browsing. I use the Eliot debate to explore attempts to reconcile shifting ideals, institutions, and practices of research itself at the dawn of the twentieth century. Two intertwined ideals lie at the heart of my analysis: completeness and access. At the start of the debate, Eliot’s opponents associated research with an ideal of accumulative completeness that was generative of access, then understood as the browsing of physical stacks. By growing indefinitely under one roof, research collections would remain physically accessible to browsers. Over the course of the next decade, however, as storage pressures mounted, ideas of access came to be detached from onsite browsing and attached to logistical concerns over communications and transport infrastructures. An accumulative ideal of completeness thus came to be replaced by what I call communicative completeness, wherein scattered, partial collections physically inaccessible were made virtually accessible by central bureaus of information. This redefinition of the relationship between access and completeness, I argue, is foundational for contemporary attempts to revive the dream of the universal library, e.g., the Internet Archive.

The results showed that the traits were significant in all applied treatments except proline. The amount of morphological traits and physiological traits increased in sulfur treatment with thiobacillus bacteria in field soil conditions and heavy metal stress compared to the control. But the properties of soluble sugars and proline decreased in this treatment. On the other hand, with the increase in the concentration of elemental sulfur and potassium sulfate treatments that caused stress in the plant. However, under stress conditions, the amount of absorption of lead and zinc in the root and aerial part of the plant increased to a critical and damaging level, but by applying of treatments, the amount of absorption and damage decreased. it can be concluded that elemental sulfur and potassium sulfate treatments by reducing the absorption of all elements required by the plant caused stress, but sulfur with bacteria treatment reduces the absorption of these heavy elements, and the bacteria in the soil provides the conditions for absorbing more water and nutrients through the roots and improves the growth of the plant.

Help-seeking behavior involves is the combination of help and seeking, but this is not a straightforward concept, and there are multiple barriers involved in an individual seeking help that depend on the need an individual is seeking help to resolve and other individual characteristics about any given individual. There are many barriers that preclude help-seeking behavior, and the purpose of this paper is to look at demographic barriers that may encourage or inhibit help-seeking behaviors. A sample of data from the CDC Pulse Survey between the dates of March 17th, 2021 and March 29th, 2021 were utilized for this study. Information was gathered regarding psychological symptom presentation, use of healthcare services, insurance status, and whether they accessed (mental) healthcare. The data was transformed from frequency data into nominal data that indicated the presence or absence of any one condition. Chi Squared analyses were utilized to identify how each demographic group differentiated within each construct, and correlations were utilized within broad constructs to differentiate if individuals were significantly different from each other. These results demonstrated demographic differences between individuals and how that predicts help-seeking for both medical and psychological care as well as symptom presentation and insurance coverage and significant differences within those groups. The results inform a general standard of care as it relates to different demographic groups and have implications around which treatment procedures would be best applied to which groups of people.

Conclusión. Notas alimentarias: Los prolegómenos de un discurso eucarístico.
Authors: Méndez Ángel
Published: May 2023

Como señalé en este libro, primero compartí el mole hecho con la receta de doña Soledad entre mis amistades en la Ciudad de México en una fiesta de despedida antes de irme a Cambridge para comenzar a escribir mi tesis. A lo largo de la escritura de este libro, desde los inicios hasta el final, este tradicional platillo mexicano nutrió mi imaginación y fue fuente de inspiración para articular lo que he llamado teología alimentaria. Por lo tanto, así como inicié este libro con una probada de lo que es el molli, considero que es igualmente apropiado cerrar también con otra probada de molli —“alimento para la reflexión”— mencionando los cuatro puntos principales que traen sugerentes conclusiones a colación.
