Published: January 2022

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the effects of using an internal fixation plate to augment primary 3-loop pulley (3LP) repair of canine gastrocnemius tendons (GTs).

SAMPLE
48 cadaveric GTs from 24 adult dogs.

PROCEDURES
GTs were dissected free from other tissues, transected, and randomly assigned to 4 groups (n = 12/group). GTs were repaired with 2-0 polypropylene with a 3LP repair alone or a 3LP repair augmented with a 3-hole veterinary cuttable plate (3VCP), a 5-hole veterinary cuttable plate (5VCP), or a 7-hole veterinary cuttable plate (7VC P). Biomechanical loads, construct stiffness, gap formation, and failure modes were compared between groups.

RESULTS
Yield, peak, and failure loads were all significantly increased for the 5VCP and 7VCP groups, compared with the 3LP alone group. Increasing plate length from 3VCP to 5VCP and from 3VCP to 7VCP increased yield, peak, and failure loads. No differences were found between the 3LP and 3VCP groups with regard to yield and peak loads, but failure load was increased in the 3VCP group. Loads to create 1-mm and 3-mm gaps were significantly greater for the 5VCP and 7VCP groups, compared with the 3LP alone and 3VCP groups. Mode of plate attachment failure differed among groups.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Tendon plate augmentation may be a viable surgical option to increase the strength of the tenorrhaphy in dogs. However, in vivo studies evaluating the effects of plate augmentation on the tendon blood supply and progression of healing are needed prior to clinical application.
Single instead of triplicate intraocular pressure measurements in dogs do not substantially lower accuracy and precision but do slightly reduce statistical power

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To compare single and triplicate applanation tonometry values across previous intraocular pressure (IOP) studies in dogs.

ANIMALS
116 ophthalmologically normal dogs.

PROCEDURES
Triplicate IOP readings (n = 1432) from studies evaluating effect of anesthetic protocols were analyzed to estimate a range of probable differences between averaged triplicate and first, averaged and lowest, and first and lowest IOPs. The decrease in variability with triplicate measurements and the magnitude of effects on statistical power were quantified.

RESULTS
The 2.5th to 97.5th interpercentile range for differences of averaged triplicate values minus first IOP readings was –3 to 2.7 mm Hg; for averaged minus lowest: 0 to 3.7 mm Hg; for first minus lowest: 0 to 5 mm Hg. The 95% prediction interval for differences in study group means (n = 160 groups, n = 5 to 11 eyes per group) based on averaged minus first measurements was –1.0 to 0.9 mm Hg with associated SDs reduced by 4% on average. Analysis of previous studies using averaged instead of first IOP values resulted in minimal decreases in SEs of 3–9% (0.03 to 0.09 mm Hg). Of 11 comparisons found significant with averaged data, 2 (18%) were found nonsignificant with first measurements. Of 96 comparisons found nonsignificant with averaged data, 3 (3%) were found significant with first measurements.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
With applanation tonometry in ophthalmologically normal dogs, no clinically meaningful difference was found between the first, lowest, or averaged triplicate IOP measurements, but the first reading has a larger variance and hence will result in lower statistical power.

Abstract
Models for estimating the probability of default are widely used in the business throughout the lending process, starting as early as the application stage, where they play an important role in loan approval status. For model soundness and performance, ensuring adequate data quality is essential. Identifying outliers, analyzing their impact and choosing the right method to treat them is a necessary stage of preprocessing, which is often overlooked in practice for a variety of reasons, an important one being insufficient data. Given the inherent imbalance of the loan portfolio with regard to default status, elimination of outliers is seldom feasible. The current widely accepted approach is based on binning and weight of evidence. Usually two types of binning are tested, namely bucket and quantile. While the latter is robust to outlier presence, the former is not. Both approaches lead to the discretization of the continuous variable they are applied on. This causes information loss both in terms of variation given by individual values and in terms of distance between the various observation points on a certain variable. In the present paper, we explore the opportunity of using other methods for dealing with outlier presence and we describe their advantages and disadvantages in the context of probability of default estimation for credit risk. We conclude that, aside from quantile binning, not dealing with outliers in case of very large datasets or winsorizing are also effective. More importantly, several methods should be considered and tested for each variable in order to find the optimal balance between altering the data and reducing variance.
The impact of Tesla’s bitcoin investment and its plans to accept it as payment method on the evolution of bitcoin

Abstract
For the past years, cryptocurrencies have been a hot and controversial topic that has captured the attention of the whole tech world. Even if right now the portfolio of digital assets is considerable in size, the first cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, exploited its pioneer advantage and managed to remain at the center of attention both for the media and investors.
During 2020, one of the most chaotic years, Bitcoin boomed in November 2020 almost doubling since the end of 2019. This boom is the result of a combination of factors, such as the fear of missing out translated into a chain reaction of public and private companies to consider Bitcoin a safe reserve asset, a hedging method against inflation, which represents a substitute for traditional hedging instruments, the infrastructure developed around it over the years, and lastly the hype created by influential figures through news and social media platforms. There have been many public figures that exhibited interest in cryptocurrencies through platforms such as Twitter, for instance Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Kanye West, Hugh Laurie, Mike Tyson and Gwyneth Paltrow are just some in a long list of celebrities that backed Bitcoin.
This paper aims to analyze the impact that twitter posts have upon the evolution of Bitcoin, coupled with Tesla’s investment and recent statement of introducing Bitcoin as a method of payment in the near future. Our research tries to determine if the news and social media posts, such as tweets have an influence upon Bitcoin’s volatility and fluctuations.
Key issues of tranzition to digital entrepreneurship
Authors: Bejinaru Ruxandra 
Published: January 2022

Abstract
Through this paper we want to contribute to the understanding of the main concepts, methods and tools which make possible the transition to a new type of entrepreneurship, namely digital entrepreneurship (DE). The importance of the topical concept, which is an accelerated expanding practice, lies in the fact that a digital business offers opportunities that transcend geographic space, primarily through global online space. The forecasts given to digital entrepreneurship are positive and even aspirational as they anticipate important benefits for the businesses that will create, sell and deliver digitally supported products and services. For the time being, what is presented in the specialized literature are reserved approaches towards the definitions, methodologies or strategies applicable to this type of entrepreneurship, which is in different phases of development on the globe. This research is done according to a simple scheme and we consider it logical in order to understand the transition of entrepreneurship from the knowledge-based economy to digital entrepreneurship. In this approach we proceeded first of all to document the main notions such as: the digitization process and the digitalization phenomenon; the specifics of business in the digital age; digital traction indicators for measuring business success in the digital environment; distinctive features of digital entrepreneurship and we ended with an integrative perspective, formulating recommendations for a successful transition to digital entrepreneurship. We believe that the contribution of this paper is to put together in a clear but concise manner, key aspects that highlight the transition of the traditional business vision to the vision proposed (or actually imposed) by digital entrepreneurship and the era in which we live.
From knowledge workers to knowmads: skills, roles and attributes – A literature review
Authors: Iliescu Andra Nicoleta 
Published: January 2022

Abstract
This paper aims to achieve a comprehensive image of the knowmad worker. Over the past few decades, knowledge workers have been at the center of academic and practical interest in the knowledge management field. Without excluding other management directions, this specific segment developed for a better understanding and sustaining of organizational knowledge dynamics. Recently - associated with unpredictable changes in all aspects of our lives, that have a direct impact on the business market - the knowmad typology gained increasingly more interest in the academic field, being recognized as an emergent group of learners and workers. They are associated with better adapting skills, increased innovation and creativity performances compared to previous knowledge workers and these qualities ensure individual and organizational competitivity in the contemporary society, as this paper will show. While the primary focus of existing knowmad literature is on the education shift towards a competence-based approach, the working coordinates of these workers remain in a secondary position in the existing literature. Through extensive literature review, and by using a data analysis engine, key concepts have been identified and analyzed in a systematic comparison between knowmads and knowledge workers. The first part of this paper is focused on placing the knowmad workforce into the relevant social context. In the second part and third part, the knowledge worker and knowmad typologies are analyzed from skills, roles, and attributes perspective. Findings obtained through this research show that the knowmad workforce represents the unavoidable future worker, which is both a consequence and a solution for a business environment defined by continuous unpredictable changes. In this respect, future research directions should be focused on the management of knowmad workforce.
Romanian family business internationalization: knowledge management and dynamic capabilities
Authors: Motoc Adrian 
Published: January 2022

Abstract
The key aspects of today’s economic climate are intensified competitiveness and fast-changing global markets. In order to stay competitive, family companies need to respond to these developments and more frequently seek foreign expansion themselves. To understand how organisations should respond to changes in the market to retain a competitive edge, the idea of knowledge management and dynamic capabilities has indeed been developed. Such an environmental transition could be the internationalisation of a family business. The purpose of this research is to examine, through the lens of knowledge management and dynamic capabilities, the internationalisation of family companies. A qualitative single case study model of a family business that has been through an international expansion has been considered, collecting evidence through semi-structured qualitative interviews with three of the company’s key individuals. The study reveals that in the internationalisation process, there are many skills that assist family companies. Sensing technologies include screening capabilities for networks and industries and helping family companies identify new prospects in international markets. Seizing skills provide decision-making and management capabilities and change the capital base to take advantage of the possibilities previously sensed. Finally, family businesses should constantly reconfigure their tools with transforming skills, which consist of entrepreneurial knowledge capabilities, to optimise processes and frameworks in the current international setting. Different facets of family life influence the development of these complex skills.

Abstract
The modernization of higher education is a complex process and occupies a priority place on the agenda of concerns both at European level and at the level of each member state of the European Union (EU). In this paper we present the results of the analysis of the main aspects of post-integration modernization of higher education in Romania, compared to the evolution in other Member States in the same period, from the perspective of five indicators: expenditure per student, percentage of GDP allocated to higher education, graduates per thousand inhabitants and professor per student’s ratio. In order to achieve the proposed objective, we have carried out a research and a cluster analysis of data from secondary sources of available information, respectively reports of the European Commission and various statistical reports that will be mentioned throughout the article.
Rising tensions along the agri-food value chains during the COVID-19 crisis: evidence based on Google Trends Data

Abstract
The global socio-economic and sanitary crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has generated many different effects on the links of the global agri-food value chains regarding the production and consumption behaviors of agri-food products. Depending on the link, these effects can be positive, negative, or even a mix of both. However, all these sudden changes, beneficial or not, they result in deepening the economic tensions existing along the agri-food value chains. In this context, the aim of this research was to explore the rising tensions along the Romanian agri-food value chains during the different stages of the COVID-19 crisis in Romania, while bringing the HoReCa industry in the spotlight of this study, and, more specifically, the food service component. This paper brings contribution to the literature concerning the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic at the level of the agri-food value chains based on a statistical analysis carried out with the data available from two open access sources: Google Trends and the Romanian National Institute of Statistics. A short bibliometric analysis was also elaborated on the papers tackling the topic of the rising tensions along the agri-food value chains during the pandemic. Research results show that the Romanian HoReCa industry has been subject to various challenges emerged from the need to limit the spread of the COVID-19 disease. This has generated a lot of concern – not only from the food security perspective, but also from the perspective of the entrepreneurs active in the agri-food value chains. Food-ordering companies with homedelivery have been of high interest during the COVID-19 pandemic, as they connect two major links in the food chain: restaurants and consumers. While consumers have become more dependent than ever on digital solutions to purchase food, a lot of pressure is put on indoor restaurants.
