Atrioventricular and ventricular properties in patients implanted with CRT as descriptors of acute changes during device optimization
Creators: name: DEGIOVANNI, Anna
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi del Piemonte Orientale Amedeo Avogadro
Year: 2018

description: Background. There is strong evidence that CRT reduces mortality and hospitalization. Unfortunately, there are still no available parameters to identify non-responders. Purpose. We test if parameters, describing dyssynchrony and efficiency, can better identified acute recovery of ventricles treated with a CRT and if lead position can modify this relationship. Methods. We enrolled 65 patients referred for CRT implantation. We performed a CRT-off and /?on 2d- and 3d echocardiogram during devices optimization. We assessed left ventricular (LV) volumes 3D; then, by the peckletracking analysis we evaluated ventricular dyssynchrony, based on temporary uniformity of strain (TUS) 3D long and circ. We obtained also non-invasivally myocardial efficiency (Effic) based
on interaction between pressure work index (PWI), representing an estimation of myocardial oxygen consumption, and mechanical external work. At the end, we indicate as concordant, patients presenting LV lead position (defined from a chest X-ray) in the same segment as the latest systolic 3Dcircunferantial strain curves. Results. No statistically significant differences were found both in the diastolic parameters and in atrial function. There was some trend for improvement for both longitudinal and circumferential 3D TUS during CRT-on. Only Effic demonstrated an important gain between CRT-off/-on phase. The analysis of the matrix CRT off/on and LV lead, demonstrated only a statistically significant improvement for Effic between CRT-off/on phase (p=0,01), although without any significant interaction. At the end, the MANOVA test suggested a statistically significant interaction (p=0,04) between the behavior of our ventricular parameters (Effic, PWI and TUS 3Dlong) in relation to CRT on/off and LV lead concordance/discordance. Conclusions. Evaluation of lead position relative to the LV segment with latest 3D circ strain could ameliorate concordance, improving Effic and minimizing the number of non-responders.

description: Light is fundamental for photosynthesis. However, when in excess, it may produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) which, in turn, may damage the Photosystem II reaction center D1 protein. In order to avoid this, photosynthetic organisms have developed different mechanisms able to protect their photosynthetic apparatus. The term photoprotection is used to define all these process. Higher plants have evolved different protective mechanisms which are: the thermal dissipation through NPQ depending on PSBS protein, phosphorylation of LHCII to ensure efficient distribution of light energy between photosystems (state transition) depending on STNZ/TAP38 kinase/phosphatase system and Cyclic Electron Flow/ Photosynthetic Control (CEF/PC) around PSI depending on PGR5/PGRL1A/B proteins. However, how this mechanisms affect D1 turnover is not know. Much of current knowledge about photoprotection comes from studies with knock Arabidopsis thaliana in which respective key genes have been inactivated. In this work, this genetic approach was extended by generating, by crossing, high order mutants where two (ASL, 455) or all three (48L78) photoprotection mechanisms have been eliminated. These mutants have been characterized and their light sensibility investigated, by using fluorescence (PSII), absorbance changes (PSI), protein phosphorylation and turnover of D1 protein by immunoblotting. Although all the mechanisms seems to be important in plants photoprotection, the sensibility of PSII to light is more marked in mutants where CEF/PC is absent and this is paralleled by an increase in D1 turnover. PSI is also highly damaged by light, but, if lincomycin is present, it resulted protected. In AS mutant the sensibility to light, in terms of PSII efficiency, is not as marked as it could be expected but the D1 turnover is very high.

description: Complex-valued neural networks (CVNNs) are nonlinear filters used in the digital signal processing of complex-domain data. Compared with real-valued neural networks~(RVNNs), CVNNs can directly handle complex-valued input and output signals due to their complex domain parameters and activation functions. With the trend toward low-power systems, computational complexity analysis has become essential for measuring an algorithm's power consumption. Therefore, this paper presents both the quantitative and asymptotic computational complexities of CVNNs. This is a crucial tool in deciding which algorithm to implement. The mathematical operations are described in terms of the number of real-valued multiplications, as these are the most demanding operations. To determine which CVNN can be implemented in a low-power system, quantitative computational complexities can be used to accurately estimate the number of floating-point operations. We have also investigated the computational complexities of CVNNs discussed in some studies presented in the literature.

title: Menschenrechte zwischen Universalismus und Kulturalismus?
Creators: name: Jammeh, Claudia
Year: 2011

description: Die Arbeit widmet sich der Frage, welche Spannungsfelder in der Menschenrechtsdebatte zwischen Universalismus und Kulturalismus auftreten und wie diesen begegnet werden kann. Die Arbeit gliedert sich in drei Teile. Es werden exemplarisch die universalistische Argumentation nach Heiner Bielefeldt, der kulturalistische Ansatz nach Bénézet Bujo sowie ein Vergleich beider Positionen dargestellt. Im ersten Teil stehen die Themen Freiheit und Individuum sowie die Klärung zwischen Entstehungs- und Begründungszusammenhang der Menschenrechte besonders im Mittelpunkt. Der Schutz der Freiheit des Individuums und seiner Würde wird in den erklärten Rechten immer wieder unterstrichen. Dabei geht es nach Bielefeldt um die Sicherung des guten Zusammenlebens aller Menschen, Völker und Nationen in einer globalisierten Welt. Die Frage der Gemeinschaft in den Menschenrechten ist für Bielefeldt insofern ein Thema, als er das Recht auf freie Vergemeinschaftung unterstreicht, in dem jedes Individuum sich frei entscheiden kann, ob oder welcher Gemeinschaft es angehören möchte. Der zweite Teil der Arbeit widmet sich der kulturalistischen Sichtweise von Bénézet Bujo. Wie auch andere Vertreter kulturalistischer Positionen im Bezug auf die Menschenrechte führt er den (vermeintlichen) Gegensatz von Individuum und Gemeinschaft in anderen kulturellen Kontexten, in diesem Fall des afrikanischen Kontextes, als Begründung an, warum Menschenrechte nur bedingt bzw. keine universale Geltung beanspruchen können. Die Gemeinschaft steht in der afrikanischen Ethik an erster Stelle. Bujo vertritt auch die unter Kulturalisten gängige Position, dass die Menschenrechte ein Produkt des „Westens“ und seinen Vorstellungen des freien Individuums seien, weshalb es nicht möglich sei, die Menschenrechte in der jetzigen Form anzuerkennen, da die Gemeinschaft in ihnen keinen Wert an sich darstellt. Ausgehend von dieser fehlenden Gemeinschaftsdimension thematisiert Bujo in seiner Auseinandersetzung einzelne Artikel der Menschenrechtsklärung und argumentiert damit gegen einen universalen Anspruch der Menschenrechte. Sowohl Bielefeldt als auch Bujo treten für einen Dialog über die Menschenrechte ein. Der dritte Teil der Arbeit widmet sich daher gezielt dem Versuch einer Gegenüberstellung der Argumente von Bielefeldt und Bujo. Es wird deutlich, dass Freiheit, Individuum und Gemeinschaft keine unvereinbaren Gegensätze darstellen müssen, um die Menschenrechte universal anzuerkennen. Vielmehr sollen die Argumente in einen fruchtbaren Dialog gebracht werden, der in seinem Bemühen um Verständigung nicht auf die Unfreiheiten der Menschen im Laufe der Geschichte vergessen darf, der aber ebenso die Irrwege in der modernen Gesellschaft im Rahmen der Menschenrechtsdebatte thematisieren muss.

description: Existing deep-learning approaches to semantic column type annotation (CTA) have important shortcomings: they rely on semantic types which are fixed at training time; require a large number of training samples per type and incur large run-time inference costs; and their performance can degrade when evaluated on novel datasets, even when types remain constant. Large language models have exhibited strong zero-shot classification performance on a wide range of tasks and in this paper we explore their use for CTA. We introduce ArcheType, a simple, practical method for context sampling, prompt serialization, model querying, and label remapping, which enables large language models to solve CTA problems in a fully zero-shot manner. We ablate each component of our method separately, and establish that improvements to context sampling and label remapping provide the most consistent gains. ArcheType establishes a new state-of-the-art performance on zero-shot CTA benchmarks (including three new domain-specific benchmarks which we release along with this paper), and when used in conjunction with classical CTA techniques, it outperforms a SOTA DoDuo model on the fine-tuned SOTAB benchmark.

description: Molecular polaritons, hybrid light-matter states resulting from strong cavity coupling of optical transitions, may provide a new route to guide chemical reactions. However, demonstrations of cavity-modified reactivity in clean benchmark systems are still needed to clarify the mechanisms and scope of polariton chemistry. Here, we use transient absorption to observe the ultrafast dynamics of CN radicals interacting with a cyclohexane ($c$-C$_6$H$_{12}$) and chloroform (CHCl$_3$) solvent mixture under vibrational strong coupling of the brightest C$-$H stretching mode of $c$-C$_6$H$_{12}$. By modulating the $c$-C$_6$H$_{12}$:CHCl$_3$ ratio, we explore how solvent complexation and hydrogen (H)-abstraction processes proceed under collective cavity coupling strengths ranging from 55$-$85 cm$^{-1}$. Reaction rates remain unchanged for all extracavity, on resonance, and off-resonance cavity coupling conditions, regardless of coupling strength. These results suggest that insufficient vibrational cavity coupling strength may not be the determining factor for the negligible cavity effects observed previously in H-abstraction reactions of CN with CHCl$_3$.

Year: 2019

description: Il presente studio intende fornire un'analisi dell'impatto determinato dalla riforma sul sistema di regolazione delle misure preventive della corruzione, tanto a livello legislativo quanto amministrativo, in una fase di loro gi� compiuta maturazione. In particolare, nel primo capitolo � analizzato lo stato dell'arte sulla pianificazione e gestione del rischio a sei anni dall'emanazione della prima legge in materia, unitamente alla scelta di centralizzare, in capo al responsabile della prevenzione e della corruzione, le responsabilit� circa la predisposizione e il controllo delle misure di attuazione. Sar� altres� oggetto di indagine la scelta di istituire un'autority dai poteri rafforzati nella materia della corruzione (ANAC), attribuendo alla stessa ampi margini di incidenza nell'attivit� organizzativa delle pubbliche amministrazioni e di regolazione nella materia degli appalti.
Nel secondo capitolo � analizzata l'evoluzione della disciplina appalti e le scelte legislative volte a riordinare complessivamente la materia, con il fine di prevenire il fenomeno corruttivo in uno dei settori maggiormente esposti e a rischio. Nel terzo capitolo, viene approfondito il tema della valenza giuridica delle linee guida emanate: in particolare, si approfondiranno quindi le ragioni, e le conseguenze, poste a fondamento della scelta del legislatore di attribuire nuovi poteri a tale autorit�, che non si limita solo a fornire suggerimenti con valenza di indicatori di buone prassi, ma adotta atti con valenza para normativa. Registrando in tale scelta un'ulteriore conferma del fenomeno gi� in passato qualificato come "fuga dal regolamento", ci si soffermer� sulla collocazione degli atti di regolazione flessibile nel sistema delle fonti del diritto. Ulteriore approfondimento, nell'ultimo capitolo finale, � dedicato al ruolo delle autorit� tradizionalmente poste a presidio del sistema della legalit� nelle pubbliche amministrazioni, con funzioni principalmente repressive delle pratiche corruttive: si andr�, nel presente studio, ad analizzare ulteriori ambiti di intervento delle magistrature contabile e amministrativa, evidenziando altres� le sinergie sempre pi� marcate tra i distinti ruoli e le azioni di contrasto della magistratura della Corte dei conti, del Giudice amministrativo e di ANAC, in particolare nella materia appalti.

Creators: name: Joseph, Richard
Publisher: name: Unknown
Year: 1984

description: In this essay, key features of Nigerian governance since independence are reviewed. The military had ruled the county for thirteen years and civilian politicians, in two phases, had done so for ten. Military governments involved significant participation by civilians, so there was overlap between these successive systems. Moreover, the military government in 1975-79 had been deeply involved in shaping the Second Republic and entrenched some of its achievements in the 1979 constitution. The resumption of power by military officers was a relatively smooth one. Government by civilian politicians had been discredited and the military could move decisively to address key issues of corruption, economic mismanagement, and politically-inspired violence.

description: Surveys are commonly used to facilitate research in epidemiology, health, and the social and behavioral sciences. Often, these surveys are not simple random samples, and respondents are given weights reflecting their probability of selection into the survey. It is well known that analysts can use these survey weights to produce unbiased estimates of population quantities like totals. In this article, we show that survey weights also can be beneficial for evaluating the quality of predictive models when splitting data into training and test sets. In particular, we characterize model assessment statistics, such as sensitivity and specificity, as finite population quantities, and compute survey-weighted estimates of these quantities with sample test data comprising a random subset of the original data.Using simulations with data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health and the National Comorbidity Survey, we show that unweighted metrics estimated with sample test data can misrepresent population performance, but weighted metrics appropriately adjust for the complex sampling design. We also show that this conclusion holds for models trained using upsampling for mitigating class imbalance. The results suggest that weighted metrics should be used when evaluating performance on sample test data.

description: This article resumes the exploration of Nigeria’s political economy and the entrenchment of a prebendal mode of attitudes and behaviors. It takes up the shift to a mono-mineral export economy, the socio- economic proclivities of the dominant class, the considerable expansion in the state’s economic role, and the distinct pattern of competition for access to public resources in all sectors of society. The sense of dissatisfaction with the achievements of Nigeria’s Second Republic, and mounting concern about its viability, are shown to reflect the combined effects of these fundamental problems.

description: The forcible ending of Nigeria’s second attempt at constitutional civilian rule since independence in 1960 is a mixed story. The 1983 general elections were tarnished by violence and fraud. They took place in a context of economic decline and policy disarray. However, the opposition still retained an important share of the federal legislature and control of several state governments. Following the elections, President Shehu Shagari took steps to restructure his administration and seek accommodation with the very disgruntled opposition and their supporters. A military junta led by Major-General Muhammadu Buhari drew on the failings of the Second Republic, including pervasive corruption, to sweep aside political structures engineered by the previous military regime in which he served.

description: Saving energy in industrial buildings is one of the ten pillars of the European Green Deal. The application of renewable energy technologies in industrial processes and their buildings is an appropriate way to support the European energy goals. The paper presents an innovative solar heating method for industrial buildings that focuses on overcoming the current limitations of these systems. The method is based on the modular and flexible integration of two innovative technologies for the solar collector (SunDial technology – parabolic collectors) and thermal energy storage (based on phase change materials, PCM) which, through a control
system, allow flexible operation to maintain continuous use against the unpredictable nature of the solar source and partly even during the night. The method can cover a significant percentage of the heat demand in industrial processes that use temperatures above 150ºC. At the same time, there is the possibility of meeting cooling needs using an absorption chiller.
The work describes the technologies of centralized solar collectors and the connection, operation, control and monitoring systems as well as the possibilities of covering thermal and cooling loads in an industrial building. This technology can be applied to both commercial and residential buildings. The purpose of this application is to contribute to the reduction of the requirements for heating and cooling in industrial buildings of the European Union which is estimated at approximately 72TWh per year.

description: In a linear chord diagram a short chord is one which joins adjacent vertices. We define a bubble to be a region in a linear chord diagram devoid of short chords. We derive a formal generating function counting bubbles by their size and find an exact result for the mean bubble size. We find that once one discards diagrams which have no short chords at all, the distribution of bubble sizes is given by a smooth function in the limit of long diagrams. Using a summation over short chords, the exact form of this asymptotic distribution is found.

Dass Fanzines den Herausgebern nicht nur zur Identitätsbildung und Selbstdarstellung dienen, sondern durch den Austausch von Informationen auch zum Bestand einer/ihrer Subkultur beitragen, soll im mittleren Teil dieser Arbeit erläutert werden. Dabei liegt der Fokus auf der Punkbewegung, die besonders aus dem inneren Kern der Szene heraus immer wieder durch Sell-out-Vorwürfe belastet ist. Darum wird dem Thema Authentizität ein eigenes Kapitel gewidmet. In Subkulturen wird Authentizität zum einen vom Lebensstil des Herausgebers, zum anderen durch grafische und sprachliche Konventionen bestimmt. Diese werden im folgenden Abschnitt einer Analyse unterzogen. Zum Schluss wird ein besonderes Augenmerk auf die „Do It Yourself“-Philosophie gelegt, da diese der Entstehung und dem Fortbestand von Fanzines immanent ist.

description: The global challenge faced due to the impact of the construction industry on climate change, along with the issues surrounding sustainable waste disposal, has necessitated various research on using waste products as eco-friendly alternatives in construction. In this study, the avoidance of waste disposal through landfills in Australia was encouraged by incorporating lime kiln dust (LKD) and tire rubber waste (TRW) into masonry mixes to manufacture green bricks. Furthermore, the investigations in this article highlight the use of mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP) to determine the durability of the LKD-TRW bricks when exposed to freeze–thaw (F-T) cycles by examining the pore size distribution within the bricks. The LKD waste was blended with ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) at a 70:30 blending ratio and combined with the TRW in stepped increments of 5% from 0 to 20% to produce these eco-friendly bricks. The compressive strength (CS), flexural strength (FS), frost resistance (FR), pore size distribution according to mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP), and the water absorption (WA) properties of the bricks were assessed. The CS and FS values at 28 days of curing were recorded as 6.17, 5.25, and 3.09 MPa and 2.52, 2, and 1.55 MPa for 0, 5, and 10% TRW contents, respectively. Durability assessments using the F-T test showed that the bricks produced with 0% TRW passed as frost-resistant bricks. Furthermore, the results from the MIP test showed a total pore volume of 0.033 mL/g at 3 µm pore size for the 0% TRW content, further confirming its durability. Hence, the 0% LKD-TRW bricks can be utilized in cold regions where temperatures can be as low as −43 °C without deteriorating. Lastly, WA values of 7.25, 11.76, and 14.96% were recorded for the bricks with 0, 5, and 10% TRW, respectively, after the 28-day curing period. From all of the results obtained from the laboratory investigations, the LKD-TRW bricks produced with up to 10% TRW were within the satisfactory engineering requirements for masonry units.

description: The thesis is divided in two parts. Part I describes effects of unacyated ghrelin, a small peptide mainly produced by stomach with multiple biological effects, on muscle regeneration in dystrophic condition using the murine mdx model. This study shows that unacylated ghrelin stimulates the polarity complex-mediated assymetric division of satellite cells, stem cells of muscle, leading to increase regenerative potential of satellite cells that in turn leads to the reduction of muscle degeneration and overall improvement of muscle function. These data were published in "Unacylated ghrelin enhances satellite cell function and relieves the dystrophic phenotype in Duchenne muscular dystrophy mdx model" (Reano et al., 2017, Stem cells) and a detailed protocol describing satellite cell handling in "Mouse satellite cell isolation and transplantaion" (Angelino et al., 2018, Bio-protocol).
Moreover, Part I contains a study of the effect of unacylated ghrelin on cardiac muscle in mdx mice willing to establish if unacylated ghrelin treatment improved cardiac function in dystrophic mice.
To complete information about the endogenous role of ghrelin peptides in muscle regeneration, Ghrl-/- mice, which lack all ghrelin gene products, have been investigated resulting in "Ghrelin knockout mice display defective skeletal muscle regeneration and impaired satellite cell self-renewal" (Angelino et al., Endocrine, under revision).
Part II describes the in vitro study of the effect of vitamin D metabolites 25(OH)D and 1,25(OH)2D on skeletal muscle, both in normal condition and upon cytokine-induced cachexia, showing that these two metabolites have opposite effects: in basal condition, 25(OH)D induces hypertrophy while 1,25(OH)2D causes atrophy, and upon cytokine-induced atrophy, only 25(OH)D has a protective effect.
A journey towards improved stellar models: Does spectroscopy and astrometry help asteroseismology

description: The improvement of stellar structure and evolution models using asteroseismology relies on determining the best match between the theoretical and observed stellar pulsations. Gravity mode pulsators with convective cores, such as the slowly pulsating B-type stars, are ideal laboratories for studying and constraining convective core sizes and boundary mixing – both of which provide one of the largest uncertainties in the stellar structure and evolution models of high mass stars. Here we introduce a new methodology for comparing models and observations based on Mahalanobis distances, and take the reader on a journey showing how including information from spectroscopy and Gaia astrometry in addition to the seismic information impacts the forward modelling.

Cultural resilience or the Interethnic Dobrujan Model as a Black Sea alternative to EuroIslam in the Romanian Turkish-Tatar community
Creators: name: MIHAI, Catalina Andreea
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Bergamo
Year: 2016

description: The main purpose of this research is to put to the ultimate test (the field) the concept of EuroIslam, developed in sterile environments and based on similar premises (new migration communities, Muslim, mostly North-African but also Middle-Eastern), in order to see how these concepts are perceived and how they hold up to the different conditions of an East-European setting and a historical Muslim community. Romanian culture was forged by the geographical, historical, and social factors that have left a decisive imprint on the Romanian identity, so much so that the core characteristics of this complex geopolitical reality, such as flexibility, the power of resilience, became its quintessential elements. Romania?s geographic situation led to the creation of a ?crossroad? identity open to hybridity and contaminations. This ?condition? has positive and negative sides: on the positive side, a syncretic culture was forged that is open to the new, whose traditions are not immutable but adaptable, and whose people display a cultural resilience able to safeguard a core identity that instead of being endangered by alterity, makes it its very nature. The negative side is that it risks political weakness, which is exactly what Romania experienced having a strong culture, but a weak political system, making it impossible to resist to surrounding Empires.
The ?Romanian multiculturalism? was forged during 2,000 years of cultural blending thus creating a mosaical environment able to survive and to spring back after hardships, proving to be a true resilient culture.

title: Die selbständige Bewegungsentwicklung nach dem Konzept von Emmi Pikler
Creators: name: Fürle-Tröstl, Ursula Barbara
Year: 2011

description: In der vorliegenden Diplomarbeit wird das pädagogische Handlungskonzept der ungarischen Kinderärztin und Pädagogin Emmi Piklers unter dem besonderen Aspekt der selbständigen Bewegungsentwicklung eines Kindes in den ersten beiden Lebensjahren dargestellt. Es werden zudem Weiterentwicklungen des Konzepts wie die Arbeit mit Kindern, die in ihrer motorischen Entwicklung verlangsamt sind, und die Arbeit mit Eltern und Kind in altershomogenen Gruppen, wie sie Österreich unter dem Titel Pikler-Spielraum bekannt sind, vorgestellt. Im methodischen Teil der Arbeit werden Interviews mit Eltern, deren Kinder in ihrer Entwicklung verzögert sind, mithilfe der zusammenfassenden Inhaltsanalyse nach Mayring, analysiert. Es wird untersucht, inwieweit die dargestellten Prinzipien Piklers und anderer Vertreterinnen der Piklerpädagogik, aus der Sicht von Eltern hilfreich für das Erleben derselben sein können. Zudem stellt sich die Autorin die Frage, ob die Haltung, die die Eltern im therapeutischen Setting erworben haben, auch im Alltag von Mutter und Kind umgesetzt werden kann und welche Aspekte diesen darüber hinaus von Bedeutung erscheinen.
description: The present diploma thesis outlines the pedagogical concept of the Hungarian paediatrician and pedagogue Emmi Pikler, with special emphasis on the autonomous motional development of infants during their first two years of life. Moreover, further developments of the concept are discussed, such as work with children who display retarded motional development, or work with parents and child in age groups, known in Austria as Pikler-Spielraum. The empirical section of the thesis analyses interviews with parents of children who show retarded motional development by means of content analysis according to Mayring. It investigates to what extent the principles developed by Pikler and other representatives of her pedagogical approach can be useful in the view of parents. Moreover, the author posits the question whether the posture which the parents have acquired in the therapeutic setting can also be adhered to in everyday life of mother and child, and which additional aspects parents consider relevant.
Internationalization and networking of family firms in developing countries

description: This dissertation investigates the internationalization and networking behaviors, characteristics, and processes of family firms in developing countries, and, more specifically, the international opportunity recognition; entrepreneurial networks; and the Internationalization of family and non-family firms from a developing countries perspective.
The current thesis consists of an introductory essay, and three research articles. The ultimate purpose of this thesis is to develop a theoretical and empirical understanding of how family firms internationalize in the context of developing countries with focusing on the importance of networks. It also aims at obtaining more understanding about how entrepreneurial networks change across generations in family firms. To this end, an exploratory case study design was employed to explore 20 Palestinian family and non-family firm cases, gathering qualitative data through in-depth, semi-structured interviews. Secondary materials were collected. Analysis of these case studies suggested that family firms recognize international opportunities depending on both social and business ties, but businessormal ties seemed more important at all internationalization stages than socialinformal ties. The entrepreneurs in developing countries are more proactive than those in developed countries. Moreover, the entrepreneurial networks in present generation are diverse, flexible and dynamic; while in prior generation were limited in size, static and uniform. Prior generations had informal, personal, and friendship relationships, while the new generations seem more formal, objective and professional. Furthermore, the differences between the internationalization process of family and non-family firms are in speed, performance, and networks ?insidership? that were higher for non-family firms. There are no significant differences between family and non-family firms in terms of foreign market selection; choosing entry mode; and forming networks. Finally, International businesses in developing economies compared to developed economies are characterized as follows: exports are the main foreign entry modes; psychic distance is not important; learning process is slow; and Internationalization is unstructured process.
