Published: July 2017

Under the circumstances of rapidly growing globalization and social sustainability deve‑ lopment, the importance of human capital in the context of economic growth is constantly growing. Human capital development and adequate employment development require the acquisition of new knowledge and the use of innovation and knowledge in regular activities. The targeted integration of knowledge, innovation and technologies becomes an essential tool in solutions of country‘s employment problems. The currently available studies lack employment sustainability quantitative measures organized into a susta‑ inability component, as well as their expressions, so the objective of this article is to reveal the importance of knowledge, innovation and technology cluster for employment growth. In order to achieve this objective, the concept of intelligent specialization and a new cluster of knowledge, innovation and technologies have been introduced to promote efficient solutions to employment problems and to lead to positive changes in the labour market, expanding employment growth. The following methods of research were used in this article: analysis of scientific literature, theoretical and practical statements matching method, statistical analysis.

An Individual or Team – In What Terms Do We Think
about Entrepreneurship
Authors: Krawczyk‑Bryłka Beata 
Published: July 2017

Entrepreneurship is usually recognized as the individual behaviour or
process. At the same time entrepreneurs are presented as the leaders who
should be able to manage the teams and to use teams’ capital to achieve
business goals. There are some resources discussing collective entrepreneurship or
entrepreneurial teams as the conditions for running a company successfully or for
reaching innovative results. The aim of this article is to analyse if individualistic
versus team approach is prevalent and important in business students’ perception
of entrepreneurship and their preferences. The research conducted on 120
students group indicates these are not the important approaches and the teams’
entrepreneurial capital seems to be undervalued by young Poles. There is some
recommendation concerning support of collaboration attitudes in entrepreneurial
activities.
“Dark Sides” of Entrepreneurship
Authors: Turek Dariusz 
Published: July 2017

Entrepreneurship is a phenomenon that alongside positive aspects and
consequences also includes a “dark side”. Using opportunities, or creating new
solutions cannot be implemented only for “social good”, but also to the detriment
of social or economic status. Negative and harmful entrepreneurship of individuals
and organizations manifested in actions that violate the law and threaten the basic
social norms is therefore a phenomenon that should be analysed and investigated.
The paper proposes a method of categorizing “harmful entrepreneurship” on
two dimensions: 1) the activity of individuals – activities of the organization
and 2) the orientation of the external environment – internal orientation of
one environment. The paper also presents various examples of entrepreneurial
behaviour, which is an exemplification of practices inconsistent with the law and
basic social norms.

Authors: Turner Ian M. , Utteridge Timothy M.A. 
Published: July 2017

The taxonomy and distribution of Pacific Annonaceae are reviewed in light of recent changes in generic delimitations. A new species of the genus Monoon from the Solomon Archipelago is described, Monoon salomonicum I.M.Turner & Utteridge sp. nov., together with an apparently related new species from New Guinea, Monoon pachypetalum I.M.Turner & Utteridge sp. nov. The confirmed presence of the genus in the Solomon Islands extends the generic range eastward beyond New Guinea. Two new species of Huberantha are described, Huberantha asymmetrica I.M.Turner & Utteridge sp. nov. and Huberantha whistleri I.M.Turner & Utteridge sp. nov., from the Solomon Islands and Samoa respectively. New combinations are proposed: Drepananthus novoguineensis (Baker f.) I.M.Turner & Utteridge comb. nov., Meiogyne punctulata (Baill.) I.M.Turner & Utteridge comb. nov. and Monoon merrillii (Kaneh.) I.M.Turner & Utteridge comb. nov. One neotype and four lectotypes are designated. The geographic patterns exhibited by nine native Annonaceae genera, that range in the Pacific beyond New Guinea, are discussed.

Published: July 2017

Abstract

Background:
Falls are a common concern for wheeled mobility device users with multiple sclerosis (MS); however, no evidence-based fall prevention programs have been developed to meet the specific needs of the population. We examine the preliminary feasibility of a fall management intervention in wheeled mobility device users with MS.

Methods:
Study participants were exposed to an intervention program targeting risk factors for falls, including transfer skills and seated postural control. The feasibility of the program was evaluated by assessing participant perspectives, cost, recruitment rates, study adherence, participant retention, safety, and the ability to collect primary and secondary outcomes, including fall frequency, concerns about falling, transfer quality, and seated postural control.

Results:
16 wheeled mobility device users completed the program, which was found to be feasible and was positively evaluated by participants. No adverse events were experienced. After exposure to the intervention, fall frequency significantly decreased (P &lt; .001) and transfer quality (P = .001) and seated postural control (P = .002) significantly improved. No significant differences were found regarding concerns about falling (P = .728).

Conclusions:
This study examined the feasibility of an intervention program to manage fall risk in wheeled mobility device users with MS. The program was found to be feasible, and preliminary results showed the intervention to be effective in decreasing fall frequency. Additional testing is needed to further examine the efficacy and long-term impact of the intervention.

AbstractIntroduction: In South Africa, older adults make up a growing proportion of people living with HIV. HIV programmes are likely to reach older South Africans in home‐based interventions where testing is not always feasible. We evaluate the accuracy of self‐reported HIV status, which may provide useful information for targeting interventions or offer an alternative to biomarker testing.Methods: Data were taken from the Health and Aging in Africa: A Longitudinal Study of an INDEPTH Community in South Africa (HAALSI) baseline survey, which was conducted in rural Mpumalanga province, South Africa. A total of 5059 participants aged ≥40 years were interviewed from 2014 to 2015. Self‐reported HIV status and dried bloodspots for HIV biomarker testing were obtained during at‐home interviews. We calculated sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) for self‐reported status compared to “gold standard” biomarker results. Log‐binomial regression explored associations between demographic characteristics, antiretroviral therapy (ART) status and sensitivity of self‐report.Results: Most participants (93%) consented to biomarker testing. Of those with biomarker results, 50.9% reported knowing their HIV status and accurately reported it. PPV of self‐report was 94.1% (95% confidence interval (CI): 92.0–96.0), NPV was 87.2% (95% CI: 86.2–88.2), sensitivity was 51.2% (95% CI: 48.2–54.3) and specificity was 99.0% (95% CI: 98.7–99.4). Participants on ART were more likely to report their HIV‐positive status, and participants reporting false‐negatives were more likely to have older HIV tests.Conclusions: The majority of participants were willing to share their HIV status. False‐negative reports were largely explained by lack of testing, suggesting HIV stigma is retreating in this setting, and that expansion of HIV testing and retesting is still needed in this population. In HIV interventions where testing is not possible, self‐reported status should be considered as a routine first step to establish HIV status.
Limited southward underthrusting of the Asian lithosphere and material extrusion beneath the northeastern margin of Tibet, inferred from teleseismic Rayleigh wave tomography
Authors: Wei Xiaozhuo , Jiang Mingming , Liang Xiaofeng , Chen Ling , Ai Yinshuang 
Published: July 2017

AbstractThe northeastern margin of Tibet is of key importance in understanding the uplift and expansion of Tibetan Plateau. In this research, we perform Rayleigh wave tomography from 20 s to 167 s using the data recorded by China Digital Seismic Network and several portable seismic arrays in Northeastern Tibet and adjacent areas. Our resultant 3‐D shear wave velocity model exhibits strong lateral variations in the lithosphere. High shear wave velocities are observed in the mantle of the cratonic Ordos and Yangtze Blocks, as well as the East Qinling Orogen. The Qilian Orogen is underlain by a ∼120 km thick lithosphere of intermediate velocities and a low‐velocity layer of asthenospheric mantle below the depth of 120 km. Low velocities are characteristic in the middle‐to‐lower crust of the Songpan‐Ganzi Terrane and the West Qinling Orogen, possibly representing the crustal flow penetrating the Kunlun Fault. An uppermost mantle low‐velocity zone is found in the same location, indicating either the asthenosphere upwelling or the transitional crust‐mantle boundary layer. Our observations have two tectonic implications. First, the large‐scale eastward Tibetan material extrusion into Eastern China through the East Qinling Orogen is unlikely to be an ongoing process above 200 km depth; second, the southward subduction of the North China Craton toward Northeastern Tibet may not have fully developed in this region. Furthermore, we propose that the difference in the lithospheric strength between the Qaidam Block and the West Qinling Orogen is a critical element to control the tectonics in the northeastern margin of Tibet.
Multivariate quadrature for representing cloud condensation nuclei activity of aerosol populations
Authors: Fierce Laura , McGraw Robert L. 
Published: July 2017

AbstractAtmospheric aerosol is composed of distinct multicomponent particles that are continuously modified as they are transported in the atmosphere. Resolving variability in particle physical and chemical properties requires tracking high‐dimensional probability density functions, which is not practical in large‐scale atmospheric simulations. Reduced representations of atmospheric aerosol are needed for efficient regional‐ and global‐scale chemical transport models. Although the aerosol size‐composition distribution is described by a high‐dimensional probability density function, here we show that cloud condensation nuclei activity of aerosol populations can be represented with high accuracy using an optimized set of representative particles. The sparse representation of the aerosol mixing state, designed for use in quadrature‐based moment models, is constructed from a linear program that is combined with an entropy‐inspired cost function. Unlike reduced representations common to large‐scale atmospheric models, such as modal and sectional schemes, the maximum‐entropy approach described here is not confined to predetermined size bins or assumed distribution shapes. This study is a first step toward a quadrature‐based aerosol scheme that will track multivariate aerosol distributions with sufficient computational efficiency for large‐scale simulations.
Comparison of the climate effects of surface uplifts from the northern Tibetan Plateau, the Tianshan, and the Mongolian Plateau on the East Asian climate

Published: July 2017

AbstractSurface uplifting from the northern East Asian mountains has had an important effect on the evolution of the East Asian climate since the late Miocene; however, the uplifting climate effects from each of these mountains remain unclear. This paper compares the climate effects of surface uplifts from the northern Tibetan Plateau (TP), the Tianshan, and the Mongolian Plateau (MP) on the East Asian climate. Our model results indicate that each of these mountains has different climate effects along an uplifting sequence from south to north. Compared to the combined surface uplifts from the northern TP and the Tianshan, the last surface uplift from the MP made a greater contribution to the decreased annual precipitation over inland Asia north of ~45°N and strengthened summer middle tropospheric westerly wind on its north side; furthermore, it made a comparable contribution to the intensified winter low‐level (850 hPa) northwesterlies in northern East Asia and intensified winter middle tropospheric westerly wind over the region from East Asia to the northwestern Pacific. However, different uplift scenarios influenced these uplifting climate effects. For example, if the MP rose without the northern TP and the Tianshan, the uplifting climate effects of the MP described above largely weakened. In comparison, the further combined surface uplifts of the northern TP and the Tianshan had a more marked regional climate effect, particularly for the winter monsoon wind, and summer and winter middle tropospheric westerly wind.
Numerical simulation of urban land surface effects on summer convective rainfall under different UHI intensity in Beijing
Authors: Zhang Yizhou , Miao Shiguang , Dai Yongjiu , Bornstein Robert 
Published: July 2017

AbstractTo investigate the effect of urban land surface on rainfall under different urban heat island intensity (UHII) conditions in Beijing, numerical simulation and sensitivity experiments on two individual summer convective rainfall events are performed, using the Weather Research and Forecasting/Noah/urban canopy model (UCM) model system. It is found that the cloud ice and cloud graupel formation processes in the microphysics parameterization scheme play a pivotal role in increasing the model's ability to simulate convective rainfall. When UHI is weak prior to the start of rainfall, urban land surface primarily affects rainfall through its dynamic action. Rainfall systems develop a tendency to bifurcate in the windward periphery of the urban area and move around it along both sides. Consequently, precipitation in the central urban area and its downstream area decreases, whereas precipitation in the suburban areas at the sides of the periphery of the urban area increases. When UHI is strong before rainfall begins, the thermal effect of the urban land surface is the main factor that affects rainfall. The lower atmosphere over urban area is more unstable, and horizontal convergence is enhanced, increasing the intensity of the convective system after it moves to the urban area. As a result, precipitation increases in the urban area. This study demonstrates that UHII can be used as an important factor for distinguishing the effect of urban land surface on rainfall.
Exploring the combined effects of the Arctic Oscillation and ENSO on the wintertime climate over East Asia using self‐organizing maps

Published: July 2017

AbstractTo examine the combined effects of the different spatial patterns of the Arctic Oscillation (AO)‐related sea level pressure (SLP) anomalies and the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO)‐related sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies on the wintertime surface temperature anomalies over East Asia, a nonlinear method based on self‐organizing maps is employed. Investigation of identified regimes reveals that the AO can affect East Asian temperature anomalies when there are significant SLP anomalies over the Arctic Ocean and northern parts of Eurasian continent. Analogously, ENSO is found to affect East Asian temperature anomalies when significant SST anomalies are present over the tropical central Pacific. The regimes with the warmest and coldest temperature anomalies over East Asia are both associated with the negative phase of the AO. The ENSO‐activated, Pacific‐East Asian teleconnection pattern could affect the higher latitude continental regions when the impact of the AO is switched off. When the spatial patterns of the AO and ENSO have significant, but opposite, impacts on the coastal winds, no obvious temperature anomalies can be observed over south China. Further, the circulation state with nearly the same AO and Niño3 indices may drive rather different responses in surface temperature over East Asia. The well‐known continuous weakening (recovery) of the East Asian winter monsoon that occurred around 1988 (2009) can be attributed to the transitions of the spatial patterns of the SLP anomalies over the Arctic Ocean and Eurasian continent, through their modulation on the occurrences of the Ural and central Siberian blocking events.
Dust load and rainfall characteristics and their relationship over the South Asian monsoon region under various warming scenarios
Authors: Singh Charu , Ganguly Dilip , Dash S. K. 
Published: July 2017

AbstractPresent study investigates the similarities and differences in the pattern of dust load and rainfall and their relationship over the South Asian monsoon region under various future warming scenarios with respect to the historical period using multiple coupled climate model runs that participated in Coupled Model Inter‐comparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5). Based on statistically robust significance tests, we unravel several likely changes in the pattern of the dust load and rainfall over the South Asia under different future warming scenarios by the end of 21st century compared to the historical period. Kolmogorov‐Smirnov test results reveal a significant change (at 5% significance level) in the amount of dust and rainfall under different warming scenarios over the study region. Northern part of the Indian subcontinent is likely to witness increased dust loading in future, and regions with increase in dust load are also likely to be the regions of increased rainfall over North India. Positive correlation between rainfall over the Indian region and dust over the Arabian region is also likely to strengthen in future. Considerable changes in the spatial correlation pattern between dust and rainfall are noted under different representative concentration pathways; however, no noteworthy changes are recorded in their temporal relationship. Notable intermodel differences in the patterns of dust load and rainfall relationship over South Asia are possibly caused by variations in the dust emission schemes among the CMIP5 models as well as the parameterization of aerosol indirect effect in addition to the differences in the meteorology simulated by various models under identical forcing scenarios.

Published: July 2017

AbstractNeural modulation technology and the capability to affect organ function have spawned the new field of bioelectronic medicine. Therapeutic interventions depend on wireless bioelectronic neural interfaces that can conformally and easily attach to small (few hundred micrometers) nerves located deep in the body without neural damage. Besides size, factors like flexibility and compliance to attach and adapt to visceral nerves associated moving organs are of paramount importance and have not been previously addressed. This study proposes a novel flexible neural clip (FNC) that can be used to interface with a variety of different peripheral nerves. To illustrate the flexibility of the design, this study stimulates the pelvic nerve, the vagus nerve, and branches of the sciatic nerve and evaluates the feasibility of the design in modulating the function of each of these nerves. It is found that this FNC allows fine‐tuning of physiological processes such as micturition, heart rate, and muscle contractions. Furthermore, this study also tests the ability of wirelessly powered FNC to enable remote modulation of visceral pelvic nerves located deep in the body. These results show that the FNC can be used with a range of different nerves, providing one of the critical pieces in the field of bioelectronics medicines.
