Abstract

Purpose
This study aims to provide a new framework for analyzing the path of technology diffusion in the innovation network at the regional level and industrial level respectively, which is conducive to the integration of innovation resources, the coordinated development of innovative subjects, and the improvement of innovation abilities.

Design/methodology/approach
Based on the Z-Park patent cooperation data, we establish Inter-Enterprise Technology Transfer Network model and apply the concept of Pivotability to describe the key links of technology diffusion and quantify the importance of innovative partnerships. By measuring the topologically structural characteristics in the levels of branch park and the technosphere, this paper demonstrates how technology spreads and promotes overall innovation activities within the innovation network.

Findings
The results indicate that: (1) Patent cooperation network of the Z-Park displays heterogeneity and the connections between the innovative subjects distribute extremely uneven. (2) Haidian park owns the highest pivotability in the IETTN model, yet the related inter-enterprise patent cooperation is mainly concentrated in its internal, failing to facilitate the technology diffusion across multiple branch parks. (3) Such fields as “electronics and information” and “advanced manufacturing” are prominent in the cross-technosphere cooperation, while fields such as “new energy” and “environmental protection technology” can better promote industrial integration.

Research limitations
Only the part of the joint patent application is taken into account while establishing the patent cooperation network. The other factors that influence the mechanism of technology diffusion in the innovation network need to be further studied, such as financial capital, market competition, and personnel mobility, etc.

Practical implications
The findings of this paper will provide useful information and suggestions for the administration and policy-making of high-tech parks.

Originality/value
The value of this paper is to build a bridge between the massive amount of patent data and the nature of technology diffusion, and to develop a set of tools to analyze the nonlinear relations between innovative subjects.

Published: November 2021

Background:Meningiomas and gliomas are the two most common types of human intracranial tumors. However, meningiomas are not exclusively human tumors and are often seen in dogs and cats.Methods:To present meningioma surgery in dogs and compare the surgical possibilities, tumor location, and to show the differences between human and veterinary approaches to tumor profiling. Eleven dogs with meningiomas were treated surgically for 5 years. All tumors except one were resected radically (Simpson 2). Localization of tumors mirrored that of human meningiomas.Results:Two dogs died in direct relation to surgery. One died 14 months after surgery due to tumor regrowth. Three dogs died of unrelated causes 10–36 months after tumor resection and five dogs are alive and tumor-free 2–42 months after surgery.Conclusion:Radical surgery in dogs is as effective as in humans. Thus, we propose that it should be implemented as first-line treatment. The article is meant to please all those overly curious neurosurgeons in the world.

Authors: Mallepally Abhinandan Reddy , Gantaguru Amrit , Marathe Nandan , Rustagi Tarush , Mulkalwar Alhad , Das Kalidutta 
Published: November 2021

Background:
Castleman’s disease (CD) is a rare lymphoproliferative disease of unknown origin which rarely affects the spine. Here, we present CD involving a lytic, destructive C3 lesion with extension into the spinal canal contributing to upper cervical cord compression. Notably, the lesion mimicked other primary bone lesions, metastatic tumors, and/or lymphoma.

Case Description:
A 52-year-old male presented with progressive quadriparesis (i.e. weakness, instability of gait) and loss of dexterity in both hands over 2 weeks. The MRI, X-ray, and CT scans revealed a destructive lytic lesion involving the C3 vertebral body (i.e. including both anterior and posterior elements). The patient underwent a C3 total and C4 partial laminectomy followed by a C2-C4/5 instrumented fusion (i.e. included C2 pedicle screws/laminar screws, and C4/C5 lateral mass fixation). Histopathology showed a lymphoproliferative disorder with follicles of different sizes, central abnormal germinal structures, and a Mantle zone (i.e. expanded germinal centre with concentric layering with an “onionskin” appearance). These findings were all consistent with the diagnosis of CD (i.e. hyaline-vascular type).

Conclusion:
CD, a rare lymphoproliferative disease of unknown origin rarely affects the spine. Here, we presented a 52-year-old male with a C3 lytic lesion resulting in C3/4 cord compression that favorably responded to a C3/4 laminectomy with posterior instrumented fusion.

Разбирается проблематика изучения городищ раннеславянского круга культур третьей четверти I тыс. н. э. – псковских длинных курганов, тушемлинско-банцеровской и колочинской. Среди проблем – культурная принадлежность отдельных памятников и целых групп, датировка, интерпретация городищ. Из числа упоминаемых в литературе 258 городищ указанных культур на карту нанесено 64 пункта, керамика и другие находки из которых известны и могут быть атрибутированы.
The paper explores the issues pertaining to the studies of hillforts attributed to the cultures of the early Slavic circle and dated to the third quarter of the first millennium, i. e. Pskov long kurgans, the Tushemlya-Bantserovshina culture, and the Kolochin culture. One of the issues is cultural attribution of specific sites and entire groups of sites, dating and interpretation of hillforts. Out of 258 fortified sites of these cultures mentioned in the literature, 64 locations from where ceramics and other finds had been retrieved and that could be attributed to certain cultures are shown on the map.

Виноградная выжимка – вторичный продукт переработки винограда – богата биологически ценными веществами. Представляет интерес выбор фракций порошка из виноградной выжимки, наиболее перспективных для обогащения кондитерских изделий. Исследованы физико-химические показатели 7 образцов различных фракций порошка из выжимки винограда сорта Мерло. Выжимки были высушены с использованием инфракрасной сушилки при температуре 45–50°C до влажности 8–9%, измельчены по инновационной технологии на мельнице молоткового типа до размера частиц 0,3–1,0 мм и разделены на фракции в классификаторе инерционного типа ГИЛ 21. Массовую долю моно- и дисахаридов (общих сахаров) в образцах виноградного порошка определяли по методу Бертрана, содержание общих полифенолов – колориметрическим методом. Установлено, что наибольшее количество общих сахаров (4,6%) содержится в образце 5 – готовом продукте, отобранном со второго уровня классификатора, где клетчатка, протопектин, гемицеллюлоза и другие вещества разрушаются до моносоединений. По содержанию полифенолов из всех образцов наибольшим количеством (6622,8 мг/100 г) выделяется образец 3, находившийся в классификаторе минимальное количество времени. Эти фракции обеспечивают максимальную ценность выжимки при использовании для производства кондитерских изделий. При конструировании рецептур пищевых добавок в зависимости от цели их использования необходимо варьировать сочетание различных фракций виноградного порошка.
Grape pomace – a secondary product of grape processing – is rich in biologically valuable substances. The choice of fractions of grape pomace powder, the most promising for enriching confectionery products, is of interest. Physico-chemical parameters of 7 samples of various fractions of powder from the pomace of Merlot grapes investigated. The pomace was dried using an infrared dryer at a temperature of 45–50°C to a humidity of 8–9%, crushed using an innovative technology in a hammer-type mill to a particle size of 0,3–1,0 mm and divided into fractions in an inertia-type classifier. The mass fraction of mono- and disaccharides (total sugars) in the samples of grape powder was determined by the Bertrand method, the content of total polyphenols was determined by the colorimetric method. It was found that the largest amount of total sugars (4,6%) is contained in sample 5 – a finished product selected from the second level of the classifier, where fiber, protopectin, hemicylose, etc. are destroyed to monocompounds. According to the content of polyphenols, the largest amount of all samples (6622,8 mg/100 g) is allocated to sample 3, which was in the classifier for the minimum amount of time. These fractions provide the maximum value of the squeeze when used for the production of confectionery products. The combination of different fractions of grape powder must be varied when designing recipes for food additives, depending on the purpose of their use.

Рост числа больных с алиментарно-зависимыми заболеваниями во многих странах делает необходимым расширение ассортимента продуктов для диетического питания. Исследована возможность применения полисахаридов микробного и растительного происхождения в качестве структурообразователей в рецептуре творожного суфле для безглютенового питания. Предложена замена глютенсодержащего сырья – пшеничной муки на полисахариды (ПС) ксантан и гуаран. Объектом исследования были образцы творожного суфле с внесенным ксантаном или гуараном в количестве 0,3; 0,5; 0,7 и 1,0% от массы сырья взамен пшеничной муки. Контролем служил образец суфле из творога, приготовленного по стандартной рецептуре, без замены пшеничной муки ПС. Установлено, что после выпечки консистенция изделий с ксантаном не соответствовала требованиям, предъявляемым к суфле: оно было плотным и не обладало ярко выраженной характерной пористостью. Наивысшую органолептическую оценку получил образец суфле с содержанием 0,3% гуарана со структурой и вкусом, характерными для контрольного образца. Исследованные физико-химические показатели и пищевая и энергетическая ценность разработанного творожного суфле для безглютенового питания сопоставимы с аналогичными показателями контрольного образца. Рассчитано, что при годовом объеме выработки разработанной продукции 35,3 т срок окупаемости составит 0,33 года при рентабельности 50%.
The increase in the number of patients with alimentary-dependent diseases in many countries makes it necessary to expand the range of products for dietary nutrition. The possibility of using polysaccharides of microbial and plant origin as structure-forming agents in the formulation curd souffle for gluten-free nutrition has been investigated. Replacement of gluten-containing raw materials – wheat flour with polysaccharides (PS) xanthan and guaran is proposed. The object of the study was samples of cottage cheese souffle with xanthan or guaran added in the amount of 0,3; 0,5; 0,7 and 1,0% of the mass of raw materials instead of wheat flour. The control was a sample of a souffle made of curd prepared according to a standard formulation, without replacing wheat flour with PS. It was found that after baking, the consistency of products with xanthan did not meet the requirements for the souffle: it was dense and did not have a pronounced characteristic porosity. The highest organoleptic rating was given to a souffle sample containing 0,3% guaran, which had the structure and taste characteristic of the control sample. The studied physical and chemical parameters and the nutritional and energy value of the developed curd souffle for gluten-free nutrition are comparable with similar indicators of the control sample. It is calculated that with an annual output of 3,3 tons of developed products, the payback period will be 0,33 years with a profitability of 50%.
Monadic Bounded Algebras
Authors:   , Akishev Galym 
Published: November 2021

<p>The object of study of the thesis is the notion of monadic bounded algebras (shortly, MBA's). These algebras are motivated by certain natural constructions in free (first-order) monadic logic and are related to free monadic logic in the same way as monadic algebras of P. Halmos to monadic logic (Chapter 1). Although MBA's come from logic, the present work is in algebra. Another important way of approaching MBA's is via bounded graphs, namely, the complex algebra of a bounded graph is an MBA and vice versa. The main results of Chapter 2 are two representation theorems: 1) every model is a basic MBA and every basic MBA is isomorphic to a model; 2) every MBA is isomorphic to a subdirect product of basic MBA's. As a consequence, every MBA is isomorphic to a subdirect product of models. This result is thought of as an algebraic version of semantical completeness theorem for free monadic logic. Chapter 3 entirely deals with MBA-varieties. It is proved by the method of filtration that every MBA-variety is generated by its finite special members. Using connections in terms of bounded morphisms among certain bounded graphs, it is shown that every MBA-variety is generated by at most three special (not necessarily finite) MBA's. After that each MBA-variety is equationally characterized. Chapter 4 considers finitely generated MBA's. We prove that every finitely generated MBA is finite (an upper bound on the number of elements is provided) and that the number of elements of a free MBA on a finite set achieves its upper bound. Lastly, a procedure for constructing a free MBA on any finite set is given.</p>
Beyond Settler Consciousness: New Geographies of Nation in Two Novels by Margaret Laurence and Fiona Kidman
Authors:   , Hanson Paul Michael 
Published: November 2021

<p>This thesis considers the role of geography in novels by Margaret Laurence and Fiona Kidman both as a structuring principle and as a key to their mapping of private and social consciousness. The spatiality of the novels is related to the tracing of a revised awareness of colonial history in the two settler countries in which they are set. The novels reflect not only the contemporary world in which they were written but also have continued bearing upon problematic pasts and the larger histories that shaped the cultures and societies of Canada and New Zealand.</p>
The evolution of Risk from Landslides: Concepts and Applications for Communities in New Zealand
Authors:   , Hufschmidt Gabriele 
Published: November 2021

<p>The aim of this research is to identify temporal changes of risk from landsliding for several locations in New Zealand (the Western Hutt Hills, close to Wellington; Te Arai, close to Gisborne; Mt.Cook/Aoraki Village, South Island). While risk analysis usually targets a particular point in time, this research includes several five-year intervals (based on census years) starting in 1981 until 2006. The scale of this analysis is the community level. Risk is not expressed as an absolute level of loss, for example a dollar value or the number of fatalities. Risk is rather considered as the probability and extent of adverse effects on a community inferred from landsliding. As such, risk is relative: the aim is to quantify risk for a community relative to another point in time, and relative to other communities. In addition, the degree to which risk levels vary between communities is quantified. The objectives of the risk analysis are to: 1. establish landslide hazard, i.e. the frequency and magnitude of landsliding for each location, 2. develop an index of social vulnerability per census year and community, 3. develop an index of social resilience per census year and community, 4. combine 1.-3. and, together with exposure ('elements at risk'), determine risk from landsliding for each community through time.</p>
Seeing Themselves: Cultural Identity and New Zealand Produced Children's Television
Authors:   , Shepherd Ngaire 
Published: November 2021

<p>The New Zealand television environment is a complex one, and its ability to instil a sense of 'cultural identity' for New Zealand viewers has been regularly debated. Local children's programming is an area that can sometimes be overlooked in these important discussions. Children's programming in New Zealand is almost entirely publicly funded and is therefore legislatively tied to 'reflecting' cultural identity for a New Zealand child audience. This raises questions about how cultural identity is defined and understood within this industry, especially considering the inherent differences between a child audience and adult programme makers. These questions are engaged with through an examination of how cultural identity is discussed by funders, producers and audiences of four locally produced television brands: What Now?, Sticky TV, Studio 2 and Pukana. This thesis considers cultural identity to be a social construction that is both fluid and, in a New Zealand context, tied to certain expectations of 'New Zealandness'. This fluidity is examined through a discourse analysis of how funders, producers and audiences talk about each programme as well as cultural identity, in order to examine similarities and differences in how each group conceptualises this important funding concept. The argument is formed that cultural identity is understood in different terms: for children cultural identity is foremost about belonging to and 'seeing themselves' in a larger community of New Zealand children, while programme makers are concerned with the problematic notion of 'reflecting' "kids' worlds".</p>
E-Government: Transformation of Public Governance in New Zealand?
Authors:   , O'Neill Rose Regina 
Published: November 2021

<p>New information and communication technologies (ICTs) have been introduced in the government sector throughout the world in the past 10 - 20 years in an attempt to achieve greater operational efficiency and effectiveness. The benefits of ICTs include faster, streamlined administrative processing; lower transaction costs; better use of information resources; greater public access to government information and services; and more opportunities for public participation in democratic processes. These changes are often heralded by e-government commentators as "transformative'.This implies that technical innovation will deliver business benefits and produce radical change in the way that government agencies are organised to service parliament and the public. That is, a change in state sector governance arrangements. This thesis examines the concept of 'transformation' in the New Zealand state sector context with a view to determining the form and nature of governance changes that may occur as a consequence of e-government implementation. Two streams of empirical data gathering have been completed. These provide data on how e-government initiatives are currently being implemented in New Zealand, and the impact senior public officials and public management experts consider e-government will have in the future. A Weberian analytical framework is used to identify the nature of changes that occur as a consequence of e-government initiatives, and where changes may occur in the current public sector governance model. The empirical evidence suggests that e-government will have two transformational effects in New Zealand: instrumental and systemic. These effects will occur as public officials use ICTs to increase operational efficiency and effectiveness; develop broad-based collaboration and co-production working arrangements; and expand the resources available to government to address policy issues and delivery services. Adjustments to current governance arrangements are required to position public officials to use communication technologies effectively in the future. Initial reform efforts need to be made in the areas of accountability structures and leadership.</p>
The Client Voices Pilot: Managing Knowledge in the NGO Sector in Aotearoa-New Zealand
Authors:   , Rendle Jarrod 
Published: November 2021

<p>The purpose of this thesis is to present the Client Voices pilot project as an example of the type of knowledge management system that non-government organisations in the community and development sectors can use to leverage competitive advantage for their long term success. The four major knowledge management issue themes: connectivity, collaboration, content and capacity are discussed in detail throughout the thesis. The organisations, legislation, project background work and funding issues that created the environment for the Client Voices project are outlined. Following this an examination of the theory behind both knowledge management and competitive advantage is offered with a number of real-life, practical examples used for descriptive purposes. The Client Voices pilot project is then discussed in some detail in terms of the methodology employed as well as the fieldwork that undertaken. A critical analysis of the project is then presented using the four major issues themes and a number of recommendations are made for development practitioners and academics alike. Finally, the findings of the thesis are reiterated, the implications of both the Client Voices project and knowledge management in the NGO sector are posed and the effects of globalisation on grass roots NGOs as well as an alternative growth model are considered.</p>
