Achieving cultural resonance: Four strategies toward rallying support for entrepreneurial endeavors
Authors: Soublière Jean‐François , Lockwood Christi 
Published: December 2021

AbstractResearch SummaryWe theorize the strategies that entrepreneurial actors employ to instill their endeavors with culturally resonant meanings and rally the support of key audiences (investors, analysts, or customers). In extant cultural entrepreneurship research, endeavors are assumed to achieve resonance and gain support when actors deploy the culture they share with their targeted audiences. But what if actors and audiences hold cultural repertoires that poorly overlap? We consider actors' efforts to “mobilize” and “enrich” the repertoires of both parties. Specifically, we introduce a typology identifying four strategies: anchoring, retooling, channeling, and seeding. Viewing culture as an engine of stability and change, we contend that each strategy addresses a distinct tension that actors must skillfully balance. We develop propositions to explain how and when actors manage these tensions.Managerial SummaryEntrepreneurs must explain their endeavors in terms that audiences (investors, analysts, or customers) will understand and value. We know that entrepreneurs do so by telling stories and performing other symbolic actions, or by revising their stories and actions. However, prior insights assume a preexisting fit between what entrepreneurs and audiences value. How is this fit created? We identify four strategies by which entrepreneurs leverage a preexisting fit, and foster greater fit. We explain how entrepreneurs leverage a preexisting fit by presenting endeavors in familiar terms, and guiding audiences' interpretations. We explain how entrepreneurs foster greater fit by learning what audiences value, and educating audiences about their endeavors' value. Considering the inherent tension that each strategy entails, we explain how and when entrepreneurs use these strategies.
Corporate directors as heterogeneous network pipes: How director political ideology affects the interorganizational diffusion of governance practices
Authors: Gupta Abhinav , Wowak Adam J. , Boeker Warren 
Published: December 2021

AbstractResearch SummaryScholars have long recognized that interlocking directors act as conduits (or “pipes”) in the interorganizational diffusion of governance practices. Yet, this research generally depicts interlocks as homogenous, overlooking the possibility that directors differ in their beliefs about a given practice. Our study explores this idea in the context of the spread of two practices—lone‐insider board structures and CEO‐chair separation—across S&P 500 firms from 1997 to 2016. We theorize and show that politically conservative directors are more likely to transmit the lone‐insider structure, whereas politically liberal directors are likelier to transmit the CEO‐chair separation structure. We further illustrate that these effects are stronger when the focal firm faces shareholder pressure for governance reform, and weaker when the institutional norms curtail director discretion.Managerial SummaryPrior research suggests that corporate directors who sit on multiple boards cause those firms to learn from each other and adopt similar practices. Yet, directors differ in their views on governance practices, which means that they should also differ in their propensity to act as “pipes” in this diffusion process. We argue and show that interlocking directors' political ideologies influence this process, such that conservative directors are likelier to transmit the lone‐insider board structure (where the CEO is the only firm employee on the board), whereas liberal directors are likelier to transmit the practice that separates the CEO and board chair roles. These differences are most evident when firms' shareholders exert pressure for governance reform, although they have diminished somewhat since the 2002 Sarbanes‐Oxley Act.

AbstractObjectivesThe purpose of the present study was to evaluate the postoperative analgesic efficacy of fentanyl patches versus subcutaneous tramadol after canine ovariectomy, with and without unilateral mastectomy.Materials and methodsA total of 40 female dogs were included in the present study, all of which were domesticated, healthy and 4–12 years of age. The animals were divided into four groups (n = 10 per group) based on the surgery and the analgesic protocol used: the TO group only underwent ovariectomy, and received postoperative tramadol; the TM group underwent both ovariectomy and mastectomy, and received postoperative tramadol; the FO group only underwent ovariectomy, and received fentanyl patches; and the FM group underwent both ovariectomy and mastectomy, and received fentanyl patches. Postoperative pain was evaluated every 4 h for 24 h using a numeric analogue scale (NAS) and a modified Glasgow Composite Measure Pain Scale Short Form (CMPS‐SF).ResultsThe results of the present study showed that patients in all four groups tolerated postoperative surgical stress well. Analysis of variance for repeated measures did not show significant differences in the NAS scores and in Glasgow CMPS‐SF between groups in terms of pain scores or rescue analgesia.Clinical significanceThese results indicated that the analgesic effect of the fentanyl patch was similar to that of subcutaneous (SC) tramadol in female dogs after ovariectomy, with and without unilateral mastectomy, suggesting that the fentanyl patch may represent a valid supplementary tool for the control of postoperative pain in animals after surgery.
Thermal stability of filler‐based ethylene/vinyl acetate/vinyl alcohol terpolymer in nitroplasticizer oxidative environment
Authors: Yang Dali , Henderson Kevin C. , Pacheco Robin M. , Hubbard Kevin M. , Devlin David J. 
Published: December 2021

AbstractTo study the thermal stability of ethylene/vinyl acetate/vinyl alcohol (EVA‐OH) composite with filler particles, systematic thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) investigation was conducted in both nonisothermal and isothermal modes. The effect of polymer concentration on the aging behavior of EVA‐OH was investigated in the nitroplasticizer (NP) environment. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was used to probe chemical structural changes in the EVA‐OH polymer before and after thermal aging. The results suggest that filler addition accelerates the rate of NP exudation out of the EVA‐OH composites and deteriorates the thermal stability of NP at moderate temperatures (up to 70°C). The degradation of NP, in turn, accelerates the degradation of EVA‐OH polymer in its composite form through oxidation and hydrolysis indicating the importance of antioxidants in such phase blends.

Authors: Sarrà‐Rovira Marc , Carrera Ines , Maeso Christian , Montoliu Patrícia 
Published: December 2021

AbstractPolymicrogyria is a brain congenital anomaly characterised by multiple small gyri with abnormal cortical lamination. Although commonly described in humans, only two case reports in dogs have been published, including a total of nine standard poodles and one golden retriever. This case report presents a miniature poodle with polymicrogyria, which differs from previous reported cases in clinical presentation, extent of lesion and survival time. Furthermore, to the authors’ knowledge, this is the first description of susceptibility‐weighted imaging sequences acquisition in canine polymicrogyria, which showed the presence of an abnormal vessel pattern. The increasing availability of high‐field magnetic resonance imaging for companion animals will provide more information about vascular anomalies in polymicrogyria and other congenital brain malformations.

Published: December 2021

AbstractAn 8‐year‐old female‐spayed Great Dane was referred for further investigation of a 1‐month history of stiff gait, pain on palpation of the limbs, weight loss and pyrexia.Investigations revealed a generalized soft tissue swelling along the long axis of the forelimbs and to a smaller extent on the hindlimbs. CT identified a mixed osteolytic and osteoproliferative mass originating from the second right rib. CT also showed characteristic features of hypertrophic osteopathy along the forelimbs and proximal hindlimbs. Cytology of the rib mass was consistent with an aggressive sarcoma.To the authors’ knowledge, this is only the second documented case of hypertrophic osteopathy associated with rib sarcoma without evidence of lung metastasis.

Published: December 2021

AbstractProtein‐losing enteropathy is characterised by panhypoproteinaemia, mainly associated with small intestinal diseases. A homemade ultralow‐fat diet is effective for the short‐term treatment of protein‐losing enteropathy, especially if it is caused by intestinal lymphangiectasia. However, ultralow‐fat diet provides poor nutritional balance, including low calcium and vitamin D contents. A 7‐year‐old, neutered, female chihuahua showing repeated diarrhoea and panhypoproteinaemia was diagnosed with intestinal lymphangiectasia based on the dog's endoscopic histopathology. The dog was treated with immunosuppressants and ultralow‐fat diet. After 1.5 years of ultralow‐fat diet treatment, a transient seizure suspected to be associated with hypocalcaemia (albumin‐corrected total calcium: 5.9 mg/dl) occurred, with suspected nutritional secondary hyperparathyroidism, despite calcium carbonate administration. Oral alfacalcidol (active vitamin D3) was initiated. The hypocalcaemia improved within 28 days. Therefore, an oral alfacalcidol supplement should be considered as a reasonable therapeutic strategy in canine intestinal lymphangiectasia with hypocalcaemia.
Detecting scale anomaly in chiral phase transition of QCD: new critical endpoint pinned down
Authors: Kawaguchi Mamiya , Matsuzaki Shinya , Tomiya Akio 
Published: December 2021

Abstract
Violation of scale symmetry, scale anomaly, being a radical concept in quantum field theory, is of importance to comprehend the vacuum structure of QCD, and should potentially contribute to the chiral phase transition in thermal QCD, as well as the chiral and U(1) axial symmetry. Though it should be essential, direct evidence of scale anomalies has never been observed in the chiral phase transition. We propose a methodology to detect a scale anomaly in the chiral phase transition, which is an electromagnetically induced scale anomaly: apply a weak magnetic field background onto two-flavor massless QCD with an extremely heavy strange quark, first observe the chiral crossover; second, adjusting the strange quark mass to be smaller and smaller, observe the second-order chiral phase transition, and then the first-order one in the massless-three flavor limit. Thus, the second-order chiral phase transition, observed as the evidence of the quantum scale anomaly, is a new critical endpoint. It turns out that this electromagnetic scale anomaly gets most operative in the weak magnetic field regime, rather than a strong field region. We also briefly address accessibility of lattice QCD, a prospected application to dense matter system, and implications to astrophysical observations, such as gravitational wave productions provided from thermomagnetic QCD-like theories.
Understanding Micropolar Theory in the Earth Sciences I: The Eigenfrequency $$\omega _r$$

Published: December 2021

AbstractEven though micropolar theories are widely applied for engineering applications such as the design of metamaterials, applications in the study of the Earth’s interior still remain limited and in particular in seismology. This is due to the lack of understanding of the required elastic material parameters present in the theory as well as the eigenfrequency $$\omega _r$$

By showing that the general dynamic equations of the Timoshenko’s beam is a particular case of the micropolar theory we are able to connect micropolar elastic parameters to physically measurable quantities. We then present an alternative micropolar model that, based on the same physical basis as the original model, circumvents the problem of the original eigenfrequency $$\omega _r$$

Sensitivity analysis of temperature in heated soft tissues with respect to time delays
Authors: Majchrzak E. , Kałuża G. 
Published: December 2021

AbstractAxisymmetric tissue region heated by an external heat flux is considered. The mathematical model is based on the dual-phase lag equation supplemented by appropriate boundary and initial conditions. This equation, in relation to the Pennes’ equation, has two additional parameters, namely the relaxation time and the thermalization time. The aim of this research is to estimate the temperature changes due to changes of these parameters. To achieve this, sensitivity analysis methods are used. The basic problem and additional ones related to the sensitivity functions are solved using the implicit scheme of the finite difference method. The performed computations show that the temperature changes caused by changes in the relaxation and thermalization times are larger for higher values of the external heat flux and shorter times of its action.
Differencing strategies for SLR observations at the Wettzell observatory
Authors: Herrera Pinzón Iván , Rothacher Markus , Riepl Stefan 
Published: December 2021

AbstractThe precise estimation of geodetic parameters using single- and double-differenced SLR observations is investigated. While the differencing of observables is a standard approach for the GNSS processing, double differences of simultaneous SLR observations are practically impossible to obtain due to the SLR basic principle of observing one satellite at a time. Despite this, the availability of co-located SLR telescopes and the use of the alternative concept of quasi-simultaneity allow the forming of SLR differences under certain assumptions, thus enabling the use of these processing strategies. These differences are in principle almost free of both, satellite- and station-specific error sources, and are shown to be a valuable tool to obtain relative coordinates and range biases, and to validate local ties. Tested with the two co-located SLR telescopes at the Geodetic Observatory Wettzell (Germany) using SLR observations to GLONASS and LAGEOS, the developed differencing approach shows that it is possible to obtain single- and double-difference residuals at the millimetre level, and that it is possible to estimate parameters, such as range biases at the stations and the local baseline vector with a precision at the millimetre level and an accuracy comparable to traditional terrestrial survey methods. The presented SLR differences constitute a valuable alternative for the monitoring of the local baselines and the estimation of geodetic parameters.

Abstract
Introduction
Da-Vinci-Xi is the most recent device used in gynecologic robotic surgery. The aim of the present study was to compare the long-term satisfaction of patients who had undergone conventional laparoscopic hysterectomy or robotic assisted laparoscopic hysterectomy using the Da-Vinci-Xi surgical system.

Methods
All hysterectomies performed at the University Hospital of Luebeck from 2018 to 2019 were reviewed. Postoperative outcomes were compared between women who had undergone total hysterectomy with da Vinci Xi (n = 42) or conventional laparoscopy (n = 97). Postoperative outcomes included pain, elimination of complaints after surgery, bladder function, sexual function, satisfaction with the cosmetic outcome, positive experiences after robotic surgery, and satisfaction with the surgeon’s preoperative explanation. Obese patients were evaluated separately in a subgroup analysis.

Results
Both groups had similar baseline characteristics and complication rates. Preoperative complaints subsided after surgery in a little more than 90% of patients. No significant differences were noted between groups in this regard (p = 0.262), or with reference to postoperative pain after one week (p = 0.866) and one month (p = 0.580), stress incontinence (p = 0.343), sexual function (p = 0.766) and the cosmetic outcome of the abdominal incisions (p = 0.273). The majority of patients who had undergone robotic surgery (96.8%) would be willing to undergo the procedure again if necessary. The subgroup analysis of obese patients revealed no significant differences.

Conclusion
The Da-Vinci-Xi device did not improve the long-term surgical satisfaction of normal-weight or obese patients who underwent hysterectomy compared with patients who underwent conventional laparoscopy performed by experienced laparoscopic surgeons.

Published: December 2021

AbstractPeople with Down syndrome present cognitive difficulties that affect their reading skills. In this study, we present results about using gestural interaction with the Kinect sensor to improve the reading skills of students with Down syndrome. We found improvements in the visual association, visual comprehension, sequential memory, and visual integration after this stimulation in the experimental group compared to the control group. We also found that the number of errors and delay time in the interaction decreased between sessions in the experimental group.
The Professional Logic of Sustainability Managers: Finding Underlying Dynamics
Authors: Borglund Tommy , Frostenson Magnus , Helin Sven , Arbin Katarina 
Published: December 2021

AbstractThe role of the Sustainability Manager (SM) is expanding. Whether SMs are turning into a new profession is under debate. Pointing to the need for a distinct professional logic to qualify as a profession, we identify what is contained within a professional logic of SMs. Through analyzing ambiguities present in the role of the SMs, we show that there is no specific distinct professional logic of SMs, but rather a meta-construct building on market, bureaucratic, and sustainability logics. In addition, we point to the complex configurations of and relationships between these underlying logics. The complexities also explain why the SMs differ from traditional professions and why it is problematic to talk about a ‘SM profession’. Rather, SMs are ‘organizational professionals’. The article builds on 21 interviews with SMs working for Swedish companies.

AbstractPerceived personal wellbeing tends to be lower in individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), especially in the case of women. To develop the present study, the Personal Wellbeing Index (PWI-A) was administered to a Spanish-speaking sample of women with ASD (N = 401) and self-diagnosed ASD (N = 343), women without ASD (N = 373) and men with ASD (N = 65) to compare their self-perceptions. Women with ASD showed significantly lower wellbeing rates than women in the control group for the total PWI-A and across all the domains, and there were no significant differences when compared with self-diagnosed women with ASD and men with ASD. Autism explained between 24 and 26% of the decline in the PWI-A total score, with life achievement, future security, safety and relationships being the domains most highly correlated with the total. These findings are an effective contribution to improving diagnosis and professional intervention in women with ASD.

Published: December 2021

AbstractIn this work, we present the synthesis and surface immobilization of Au nanostars, Au nanocubes and Au nanorods for localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR)-based refractometric sensing applications. Au nanostructures exhibiting LSPR peak positions in 500–900 nm spectral range were prepared by seed-mediated synthesis method. The refractive index (RI) sensitivity of all these nanostructures in the colloidal solution were measured and the sample exhibiting highest sensitivity in each category were immobilized on the glass substrate. The surface immobilized nanostructures were investigated for RI sensing. Au nanostars having LSPR peak position at 767 nm exhibited highest RI sensitivity of 484 nm/RIU in solution and 318 nm/RIU on the substrate. This study gives an outline for selecting the Au nanostructures for developing plasmonic sensing platforms.
