Succession in Family Firms – From Planning to Successor Selection
Authors: Roszko‑Wójtowicz Elżbieta 
Published: August 2017

Succession is a complex process. It touches issues related to transfer of
ownership, management and knowledge in family firms. It is a process that
requires adequate preparation stage and needs to be planned in time. It starts much
before successor involvement in business matters, and ends up with incumbent
retirement. In relation to the aforementioned argumentation the aim of the paper is evaluation and synthesis of the most crucial achievements in the field of research
on succession in family firms. The paper is a review of scientific works discussing
the process of conducting succession in family firms, from planning stage to the
successor selection. The paper is based on articles published in well‑known foreign
journals and covers the period of the past 40 years. Conducted research proved
that different scholars involved in family entrepreneurship research show their
unabated interest in succession problems. Transferring the business to the next
generation is still a controversial issue and there is no way to avoid many personal
or business conflicts.

The article deals with the issue of lifelong education from the view point of the develop‑
ment of the personality of an individual. Nowadays development of national economies is
not possible without continuous increasing of the level of education of workers – human
resources. Lifelong education thus inevitably interferes into the life of every individual,
regardless of their age, sex or job position. These are fundamental starting points from
which the article comes out. The objective of the paper is to show that in present days
lifelong education has a non‑substitutable place in the development of human resources.
The partial objective is to analyze the concept of lifelong learning from the concept point
of view both theoretically and on the basis of the secondary analysis of the representative
research according to the results publicized by the Czech Statistical Office and to empha‑
size the importance of formal, non‑formal and informal education in the development
of human resources and employment. The set goal is achieved by means of clarifying the

Revision of Chinese mainland Hybovalgus Kolbe, 1904, with description of a new species, and Excisivalgus Endrödi, 1952 reduced to synonymy with Hybovalgus (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae)
Authors: Ricchiardi Enrico , Li Sha 
Published: August 2017

The genus Hybovalgus Kolbe, 1904 is represented by eight species on the Chinese mainland, many of which also inhabit northern Vietnam and Laos. Species of Hybovalgus are endemic to this area, and to the island of Taiwan. Until now, there is a lot of confusion in our knowledge of Hybovalgus on mainland China, due to erroneous descriptions of new species by European entomologists and incorrect identifications of specimens by local entomologists. Study of more material and many types has clarified this situation by better defining the species, synonymizing some of them, describing one new species, Hybovalgus calvus sp. nov. and recognizing the fact that females of two species were included in the new genus Excisivalgus Endrödi, 1952, which is here synonymized with Hybovalgus.
The influence of nonsinusoidal supply voltage on the amount of power consumption and electricity meter readings
Authors: Volokhin Vitalii , Diahovchenko Illia , Kurochkina Viktoriia , Kanálik Martin 
Published: August 2017

During electricity generation, transformation, distribution and consumption, distortions of voltage and current sinusoidal signals occur. Most consumers are non-linear, and a significant content of higher harmonics emerges when they are connected to the supply grid. The algorithms of modern electricity meters take into account most of higher harmonics, whilst with some fallibilities. However, when supply voltage and current have the same amplitude and a various harmonic composition, the readings of electricity meters can vary greatly. This article describes how the harmonic composition of supply voltage and current affects the readings of electricity metering devices. The analysed ratios do not depend on the amplitude of supply voltage.

Authors: Volokhin Vitalii , Diahovchenko Illia 
Published: August 2017

An electricity meter is a tool that determines the amount of electricity transferred to the network by a producer and consumed by electrically powered loads. Metering devices are composed of sensitive sensors that simultaneously measure currents and voltages and a microprocessor, which calculates required values basing on the received data. This article gives an overview of the most common current sensors, which are used in contemporary electricity metering devices. Their principles, advantages and disadvantages are reviewed, conclusions about the external influences on the sensors, which can lead to the incorrect operation of a meter and wrong definition of consumed electricity, are made.

ImportanceStigmatizing language in electronic health records (EHRs) can generate or reinforce negative stereotypes about patients from minoritized groups and erode their trust and experience. However, less is known about the use of such language to cast doubt on patient clinical history in hospital settings.ObjectiveTo compare the prevalence of language expressing doubt about patient clinical history (eg, experiences and symptoms) in hospital admission notes by patient race and ethnicity.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsIn this cohort study, natural language processing tools were applied to analyze 54 936 admission notes from 1249 clinicians about patients aged 18 years or older at admission and hospitalized at an academic health system in the Northeast US between January 1, 2018, and February 28, 2023. Data were analyzed from September 1, 2022, to July 31, 2023.ExposurePatient race and ethnicity (non-Hispanic Black, non-Hispanic White, and racial and ethnic minoritized groups excluding non-Hispanic Black [includes multiple racial and ethnic groups, such as Hispanic and Asian]) as recorded in the EHR based on self-report or registrar determination.Main Outcome and MeasureBinary indicator for at least 1 term casting doubt on patient clinical history was defined using epistemic stance, a linguistic construct expressing a writer’s degree of certainty in information. Terms were manually validated via iterative review of notes by the study team.ResultsAmong 56 325 admission notes (mean [SD] age of patients, 55.9 [19.0] years; 30 913 notes among female patients [54.9%]; 25 649 notes among non-Hispanic Black patients [45.5%], 26 442 notes among non-Hispanic White patients [46.9%], and 2985 notes among members of racial and ethnic minoritized groups excluding non-Hispanic Black patients [5.3%]), we analyzed 54 936 admission notes that had no missing data. Among all analyzed admission notes, 39 023 notes (71.0%) contained doubt language. Notes written about non-Hispanic Black patients had increased odds of containing at least 1 word or phrase of doubt (adjusted odds ratio, 1.21; 95% CI, 1.14-1.28; P &amp;lt; .001) compared with notes among non-Hispanic White patients. Compared with notes among non-Hispanic White patients, notes written about members of racial and ethnic minoritized groups excluding non-Hispanic Black patients had similar odds of containing at least 1 term of doubt.Conclusion and RelevanceIn this study, language casting doubt on patient clinical history was more likely to be found in notes of non-Hispanic Black patients. These results suggest that with the implementation of policies allowing patients full access to their health records, examining clinical documentation standards may be associated with improved patient experience.

Published: October 2024

AbstractAn effective method capable of simultaneously providing antibacterial activity, blood glucose regulation, and angiogenesis promotion for healing bacteria‐infected diabetic wounds is not reported to date, but urgently required. In this study, a hydrogel composite (γ‐PGA/PDA/GOx/WOx (PPGW)), endowed with these desired attributes is fabricated by incorporating polydopamine (PDA), glucose oxidase (GOx), and tungsten oxide (WOx) nanowires into the poly(γ‐glutamic acid) (γ‐PGA) framework. The exceptional photothermal conversion properties of PDA facilitated notable antibacterial effects on bacteria‐infected diabetic wounds; GOx regulated high blood glucose by consuming glucose and generating hydrogen peroxide (H2O2); while WOx nanowires displayed remarkable photocatalytic abilities, converting H2O2 into oxygen (O2) when exposed to 808‐nm near‐infrared radiation. Density functional theory calculations and experiments are conducted to confirm the mechanism of WOx‐mediated photocatalytic degradation of H2O2 to produce O2. These transformations aided in alleviating the hypoxic conditions in wounds associated with diabetes, expediting angiogenesis, and fostering cell crawling and proliferation. Consequently, the multifunctional hydrogel dressing PPGW, featuring photothermal, antibacterial, and enzyme‐catalyzed activity reduces hyperglycemia at the wound site. Moreover, photocatalytic O2 production represents a promising strategy for addressing chronic bacteria‐infected diabetic wounds.

AbstractA vital approach to accessing high‐safety and high‐energy‐density lithium batteries is to develop solid‐state electrolytes (SSEs) instead of liquid electrolytes. However, lithium‐ion transport and interface stability issues puzzle the construction of solid‐state lithium batteries (SSLBs). Thus, developing fast‐ionic conductors with high electrochemical performances and chemical stability is crucial to SSLBs. Nanowires (NWs) possess high aspect ratios for maintaining carrier transport along the radial direction, thus being extensively employed in SSLBs for the enhancement of ion transport efficiency, mechanical properties, thermostability, flame retardancy, and interface stability between electrodes and electrolytes, consequently boosting the cycle stability and safety of SSLBs. In this work, the advances in NWs for SSLBs, from rational design and synthesis strategies to applications in composite cathodes, anode materials, and SSEs of SSLBs, are systematically reviewed. The key role of NWs in electrodes and the enhancement mechanism of SSE performance by introducing NWs are concluded in detail. Finally, the existing challenges and anticipated prospects for the future development of advanced nanowire‐based SSLBs are summarized and demonstrated. This review aims to provide a comprehensive understanding to facilitate the application of NWs in SSLBs.

AbstractPEGylation is a classic strategy to reduce denaturation and immunogenicity in therapeutic proteins, bioimaging, and drug delivery. However, this concept has not been applied to incorporate biogenic materials as functional components in optoelectronics. Herein, PEGylation is rationalized as an effective tool to stabilize fluorescent proteins in solid‐state photon manipulation down‐converters integrated into bio‐hybrid light‐emitting diodes. In short, the archetypal red‐emitting protein mCherry is nonspecifically PEGylated with methoxypolyethylene glycols (mPEG) chains of different lengths (mPEG‐350/‐750/‐2000). These derivatives hold the same photoluminescence figures‐of‐merit of mCherry, but an improved resistance against organic solvents, pH, temperature, and polymers (in solution/dry‐coatings) upon increasing the mPEG length. Indeed, the best‐performing mCherry‐mPEG‐2000 adduct leads to deep‐red devices with threefold enhanced color stability (>300 h) under harsh operation conditions (150 mW cm−2) over the prior art. Different device architectures along with spectroscopic, thermocycling, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy studies of the prepared coatings aid in rationalizing that PEGylation successfully reduces i) nonreversible thermal denaturation, ii) aggregation in solid‐state, and iii) photo‐induced oxidation and H+‐transfer deactivation of the chromophore, since oxygen diffusivity and H+‐reorganization across the protein skeleton are slowed down by strong H+‐bonding/hydrophobic mCherry‐mPEG interactions. Hence, this simple supramolecular modification is of utmost relevance for future advances in protein‐based optoelectronics.
Liquid Crystal Enables Extraordinarily Precise Tunability for a High‐Q Ultra‐Narrowband Filter Based on a Quasi‐BIC Metasurface

Published: October 2024

AbstractNotch filters usually involve high costs, great difficulties in processing, and very limited tunability. By coating a nematic liquid crystal (LC) layer onto a well‐designed quasi‐bound states in the continuum (quasi‐BICs) metasurface, this work designs and demonstrates a high‐Q tunable filtering system with precise tunability in the near‐infrared spectral range. Optimal structural parameters and the filtering performance are first determined by numerical simulations and then confirmed in experiments. The precise tunability is enabled by modifying the LC molecules’ principal axes with an applied voltage, where the least distinguishable central wavelength interval is smaller than 0.3 nm, and the largest Q factor extracted from experiments can be ≈256.1. Compared to most of the commercial notch filters that work in the visible region and have no tunability, this work achieves an ultra‐narrowband filtering system that features low manufacture difficulty and cost, and great control of light propagation. The proposed design also opens new avenues for developing BIC‐based high‐Q devices with enhanced signal‐to‐noise ratio and multifunctional properties.

Published: October 2024

AbstractThe photocatalytic oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is a key pathway for producing hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). While most previous studies have focused on the two‐step 2e− ORR process, the one‐step two‐electron ORR route offers thermodynamic and kinetic advantages that can significantly enhance 2e− ORR activity and selectivity. In this study, a photocatalyst design is reported by incorporating cadmium into vacancy‐rich Zn3In2S6 (Cd‐SV/ZIS). This catalyst enables H2O2 production via a one‐step 2e− ORR process without the use of sacrificial agents, achieving a high H2O2 yield of 39.42 µmol g−1 min−1 under UV–vis light irradiation, outperforming most reported ZIS‐based photocatalysts. Theoretical simulations and experimental results demonstrate that Cd doping improves the carrier kinetics of the catalyst, broadens its light absorption range, and promotes the Yeager adsorption configuration of O2, leading to highly active and selective H2O2 generation. This study provides insights into the design of efficient ZIS‐based photocatalysts for H2O2 production.

Published: October 2024

AbstractAcoustic waves provide a biocompatible and deep‐tissue‐penetrating tool suitable for contactless manipulation in in vivo environments. Despite the prevalence of dynamic fluids within the body, previous studies have primarily focused on static fluids, and manipulatable agents in dynamic fluids are limited to gaseous core‐shell particles. However, these gas‐filled particles face challenges in fast‐flow manipulation, complex setups, design versatility, and practical medical imaging, underscoring the need for effective alternatives. In this study, flower‐like hierarchical nanostructures (HNS) into microparticles (MPs) are incorporated, and demonstrated that various materials fabricated as HNS‐MPs exhibit effective and reproducible acoustic trapping within high‐velocity fluid flows. Through simulations, it is validated that the HNS‐MPs are drawn to the focal point by acoustic streaming and form a trap through secondary acoustic streaming at the tips of the nanosheets comprising the HNS‐MPs. Furthermore, the wide range of materials and modification options for HNS, combined with their high surface area and biocompatibility, enable them to serve as acoustically manipulatable multimodal imaging contrast agents and microrobots. They can perform intravascular multi‐trap maneuvering with real‐time imaging, purification of wastewater flow, and highly‐loaded drug delivery. Given the diverse HNS materials developed to date, this study extends their applications to acoustofluidic and biomedical fields.

AbstractExperiments with graphene have demonstrated that 2D van der Waals materials can be stable, robust, and efficiently manipulated at the level of individual atomic planes. However, the stability and manipulation of 1D van der Waals materials and individual atomic chains remains elusive. Here, the ability to exfoliate and process two representative van der Waals materials containing 1D motifs, namely MoI3 and Ta2Se8I, at the scale of individual atomic chains is demonstrated. High‐resolution transmission electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy studies confirm the presence of stable individual atomic chains of MoI3 at room temperature. It is further shown that 1D van der Waals materials with low exfoliation energy, such as Ta2Se8I, can be processed with electron beams to achieve suspended individual atomic chains. Ab initio calculations corroborate the findings regarding the cleavage energies and the thermodynamic stability of individual atomic chains in these 1D van der Waals materials. These results demonstrate that the top‐down approach in material processing can be extended to the scale of individual chains.
