Digitalization and e-commerce: opportunities for women's entrepreneurship
Creators: name: KOURAD Hanan
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: This paper explores the impact of digitalization and e-commerce on women's entrepreneurial intention, drawing on Ajzen's Theory of Planned Behavior. The main objective of this research is to determine the factors that promote or hinder women's intention to engage in digital entrepreneurship. More specifically, the study seeks to understand how perceptions of digitalization influence this intention, while assessing the importance of social support and access to financial and digital resources. Data were collected from 310 Moroccan women from various sociodemographic backgrounds. These participants were surveyed using a structured questionnaire to assess their perception of autonomy, flexibility, social support (family and peers), and their access to digital and financial resources. The study uses a Probit model to analyze the determinants of entrepreneurial intention, due to the binary nature of the dependent variable (intention to start a business or not). The results show that the perception of autonomy and flexibility provided by digital technologies positively influences women's intention to engage in entrepreneurship. Family and social network support emerged as a significant determinant, enhancing women's confidence and motivation. However, access to digital resources did not have a significant effect, indicating that technological skills alone are insufficient. Conversely, access to financial resources is central, highlighting the importance of adequate financial support to foster women's entrepreneurship. These results reinforce the idea that digitalization, accompanied by supportive measures, can become a powerful lever for women's economic empowerment.

description: This work addresses the problem of recovering multi-echo T1 or T2 weighted images from their partial K-space scans. Recent studies have shown that the best results are obtained when all the multi-echo images are reconstructed by simultaneously exploiting their intra-image spatial redundancy and inter-echo correlation. The aforesaid studies either stack the vectorised images (formed by row or columns concatenation) as columns of a Multiple Measurement Vector (MMV) matrix or concatenate them as a long vector. Owing to the inter-image correlation, the thus formed MMV matrix or the long concatenated vector is row-sparse or group-sparse respectively in a transform domain (wavelets). Consequently the reconstruction problem was formulated as a row-sparse MMV recovery or a group-sparse vector recovery. In this work we show that when the multi-echo images are arranged in the MMV form, the thus formed matrix is low-rank. We show that better reconstruction accuracy can be obtained when the information about rank-deficiency is incorporated into the row/group sparse recovery problem. Mathematically, this leads to a constrained optimization problem where the objective function promotes the signal’s groups-sparsity as well as its rank-deficiency; the objective function is minimized subject to data fidelity constraints. The experiments were carried out on ex vivo and in vivo T2 weighted images of a rat's spinal cord. Results show that this method yields considerably superior results than state-of-the-art reconstruction techniques.

description: Background. The European spruce bark beetle, Ips typographus, and the North American mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae), are severe pests of coniferous forests. Both bark beetle species utilize aggregation pheromones to coordinate mass-attacks on host trees, while odorants from host and non-host trees modulate the pheromone response. Thus, the bark beetle olfactory sense is of utmost importance for fitness. However, information on the genes underlying olfactory detection has been lacking in bark beetles and is limited in Coleoptera. We assembled antennal transcriptomes from next-generation sequencing of I. typographus and D. ponderosae to identify members of the major chemosensory multi-gene families. Results Gene ontology (GO) annotation indicated that the relative abundance of transcripts associated with specific GO terms was highly similar in the two species. Transcripts with terms related to olfactory function were found in both species. Focusing on the chemosensory gene families, we identified 15 putative odorant binding proteins (OBP), 6 chemosensory proteins (CSP), 3 sensory neuron membrane proteins (SNMP), 43 odorant receptors (OR), 6 gustatory receptors (GR), and 7 ionotropic receptors (IR) in I. typographus; and 31 putative OBPs, 11 CSPs, 3 SNMPs, 49 ORs, 2 GRs, and 15 IRs in D. ponderosae. Predicted protein sequences were compared with counterparts in the flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum, the cerambycid beetle, Megacyllene caryae, and the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster. The most notable result was found among the ORs, for which large bark beetle-specific expansions were found. However, some clades contained receptors from all four beetle species, indicating a degree of conservation among some coleopteran OR lineages. Putative GRs for carbon dioxide and orthologues for the conserved antennal IRs were included in the identified receptor sets. Conclusions The protein families important for chemoreception have now been identified in three coleopteran species (four species for the ORs). Thus, this study allows for improved evolutionary analyses of coleopteran olfaction. Identification of these proteins in two of the most destructive forest pests, sharing many semiochemicals, is especially important as they might represent novel targets for population control.

Exploiting structure in nonconvex quadratic optimisation
Creators: name: Baltean-Lugojan, Radu
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2019

description: Finding globally-optimal solutions in quadratic nonconvex optimisation problems deterministically at scale requires exploiting problem structure. Moreover, engineering/industrial applications often present combinatorial aspects, with a nonconvexity interplay from both nonlinearity and integrality constraints. The structure this interplay introduces is difficult to exploit due to different existing mathematical/algorithmic toolboxes for nonlinear-continuous versus discrete-polyhedral optimisation. This thesis addresses two arising challenges: specific commercially-relevant pooling problems that bundle bilinear nonconvexities with a topological and polyhedral structure; semidefinite relaxations (of nonlinear nonconvexity) that integrate with difficulty into polyhedral-based Branch & Cut global solvers. First, we parametrically study pooling structure and explicitly identify sparsity via dominant active topologies under relaxed flow availability for single quality instances. We associate sparse active topological patterns with explicit piecewise objective functions, validating a long-held and heuristically successful intuition. We formally derive strongly-polynomial solutions for several single quality pooling problem subclasses, including some previously-studied nonconvex instances. The conditions in which sparse strongly-polynomial piecewise structure vanishes due to combinatorial complexity has further implications for pooling relaxations in global solvers. Second, we develop an effective lightweight linear outer-approximation of semidefinite relaxations, which we show can easily integrate into global solvers. Compared to previous work, our proposed cuts are sparser in the number of row nonzeros and explicitly selected to improve the objective. We explore relevant engineering trade-offs for sparsity patterns on quadratic programming with box constraints, showing they may immediately extend to quadratically constrained instances. A neural network estimator is key to selecting which strong cuts to generate using objective structure: ranking each cut by expected objective improvement involves solving many semidefinite optimisation problems, an expensive proposition at each Branch & Cut node. The estimator, trained a priori of any instance to solve, predicts objective improvements, taking the computation offline as an application of machine learning in cut selection and global optimisation.
Towards an improved computational method of analysis for multi-segment shells of revolution
Creators: name: Boyez, Adrien
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2019

description: Structural applications of thin shells rely on their ability to equilibrate loads through efficient membrane action rather than bending, which translates into low-cost and low-weight optimised designs. However, thin shells of revolution are very sensitive to buckling failures: their rich and complex stability behaviour has been the focus of extensive research and led to the development of increasingly advanced analytical and computational tools from the middle of the 20th century. Modern design approaches offer simplified methods for safe design in some cases, but structures such as multi-segment shells of revolution require non-trivial calculations at every step of the way, from a linear elastic stress analysis to a fully nonlinear buckling analysis. Although powerful computational tools exist to conduct these, they require expert knowledge to obtain significative results, even at the level of a linear elastic stress analysis, and are generally not easily accessible. This research aims to facilitate the safe design of multi-segment thin shells of revolution by proposing tools specialised for their analysis that would be more accessible than those currently publicly available. Within the context of Finite Element analysis, specialised shape functions are derived from the governing differential equations to accurately capture boundary layer bending without need for local mesh refinement. This approach is successfully applied to the linear elastic stress analysis of thin shells under axisymmetric condition, leading to the definition of the Cylindrical Shell Boundary Layer (CSBL) and Conical Shell Boundary Layer (CoSBL) elements. The former is extended to treat non-axisymmetric problems through a Fourier decomposition approach. A novel treatment of Linear Bifurcation Analysis with axisymmetric pre-buckling conditions that exploits the interpolation capabilities of the parametric bending shape functions of the Fourier CSBL is implemented and tested. The validity of the proposed approach for linear analysis was confirmed, and benchmark results from a first implementation of the LBA method show potential for the method to become a convenient and efficient tool for multi-segment shells of revolution design.

description: The diffuse plasma that fills galaxy groups and clusters (the intracluster medium) is a by-product of galaxy formation. The present thermal state of this gas results from a competition between gas cooling and heating. The heating comes from two distinct sources: gravitational heating associated with the collapse of the dark matter halo and additional thermal input from the formation of galaxies and their black holes. A long-term goal of this research is to decode the observed temperature, density and entropy profiles of clusters and to understand the relative roles of these processes. However, a long-standing problem has been that cosmological simulations based on smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) and Eulerian mesh-based codes predict different results even when cooling and galaxy/black hole heating are switched off. Clusters formed in SPH simulations show near power-law entropy profiles, while those formed in Eulerian simulations develop a core and do not allow gas to reach such low entropies. Since the cooling rate is closely connected to the minimum entropy of the gas distribution, the differences are of potentially key importance. In this paper, we investigate the origin of this discrepancy. By comparing simulations run using the GADGET-2 SPH code and the FLASH adaptive Eulerian mesh code, we show that the discrepancy arises during the idealized merger of two clusters and that the differences are not the result of the lower effective resolution of Eulerian cosmological simulations. The difference is not sensitive to the minimum mesh size (in Eulerian codes) or the number of particles used (in SPH codes). We investigate whether the difference is the result of the different gravity solvers, the Galilean non-invariance of the mesh code or an effect of unsuitable artificial viscosity in the SPH code. Instead, we find that the difference is inherent to the treatment of vortices in the two codes. Particles in the SPH simulations retain a close connection to their initial entropy, while this connection is much weaker in the mesh simulations. The origin of this difference lies in the treatment of eddies and fluid instabilities. These are suppressed in the SPH simulations, while the cluster mergers generate strong vortices in the Eulerian simulations that very efficiently mix the fluid and erase the low-entropy gas. We discuss the potentially profound implications of these results.

description: Background: Self-monitoring of hypertension with self-titration of antihypertensives (self-management) results in lower systolic blood pressure for at least one year. However, few people in high risk groups have been evaluated to date and previous work suggests a smaller effect size in these groups. This trial therefore aims to assess the added value of self-management in high risk groups over and above usual care. Methods/Design The targets and self-management for the control of blood pressure in stroke and at risk groups (TASMIN-SR) trial will be a pragmatic primary care based, unblinded, randomised controlled trial of self-management of blood pressure (BP) compared to usual care. Eligible patients will have a history of stroke, coronary heart disease, diabetes or chronic kidney disease and will be recruited from primary care. Participants will be individually randomised to either usual care or self-management. The primary outcome of the trial will be difference in office SBP between intervention and control groups at 12 months adjusted for baseline SBP and covariates. 540 patients will be sufficient to detect a difference in SBP between self-management and usual care of 5 mmHg with 90% power. Secondary outcomes will include self-efficacy, lifestyle behaviours, health-related quality of life and adverse events. An economic analysis will consider both within trial costs and a model extrapolating the results thereafter. A qualitative analysis will gain insights into patients’ views, experiences and decision making processes. Discussion The results of the trial will be directly applicable to primary care in the UK. If successful, self-management of blood pressure in people with stroke and other high risk conditions would be applicable to many hundreds of thousands of individuals in the UK and beyond.

description: Background: It is important for industries to find green chemistries for manufacturing their products that have utility, are cost-effective and that protect the environment. The paper industry is no exception. Renewable resources derived from plant components could be an excellent substitute for the chemicals that are currently used as paper binders. Air laid pressed paper products that are typically used in wet wipes must be bound together so they can resist mechanical tearing during storage and use. The binders must be strong but cost-effective. Although chemical binders are approved by the Environmental Protection Agency, the public is demanding products with lower carbon footprints and that are derived from renewable sources. Results In this project, carbohydrates, proteins and phenolic compounds were applied to air laid, pressed paper products in order to identify potential renewable green binders that are as strong as the current commercial binders, while being organic and renewable. Each potential green binder was applied to several filter paper strips and tested for strength in the direction perpendicular to the cellulose fibril orientation. Out of the twenty binders surveyed, soy protein, gelatin, zein protein, pectin and Salix lignin provided comparable strength results to a currently employed chemical binder. Conclusions These organic and renewable binders can be purchased in large quantities at low cost, require minimal reaction time and do not form viscous solutions that would clog sprayers, characteristics that make them attractive to the non-woven paper industry. As with any new process, a large-scale trial must be conducted along with an economic analysis of the procedure. However, because multiple examples of “green” binders were found that showed strong cross-linking activity, a candidate for commercial application will likely be found.

Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions.

description: Globally, Entrepreneurship has many faces in different places and different countries However, entrepreneurship strive to achieve one basic aim of starting economic enterprise from the scratch, nurturing it to bring income while employing people and resources along the way and making such an enterprise a going concern either by spreading, diversifying or specializing in a particular business, at the same time adapting to new technologies, utilizing present and futuristic information about customers needs. This is also achieved by taking note of ever changing styles of people in the environment in which the entrepreneur operates in. Indigenous entrepreneurship has something to do with how people in a particular location start up there business, how they development it, what management style do they employ with or without formal educational training Local technology employed, production efficiency achieved with this technology, any room for future expansion and growth into conglomerates.

description: This paper examines factors that contribute to successful deal-making for university spin-outs in the United Kingdon (UK). Although previous studies identify constraints to deal-making arising from issues over ownership claims, transfer and licensing of IP and access to private investment, few studies have examined actual deal-making processes, deal structures and deal outcomes or the perceptions of key players involved in spin-out deal-making - universities, spin-out founders and investors. The paper responds to the need for further study on understanding the deal-making process and how it affects the formation and subsequent success of university spin-outs.

description: In earlier work we have developed three domain specific visual approaches for event-based system specification. The first, ViTABaL-WS, uses the Tool Abstraction (TA) metaphor to support specification of web services composition via higher level data and control flows and generation of BPEL4WS code. The second, Kaitiaki, uses an Event-Query-Filter-Action (EQFA) metaphor to allow visual primitives composition and java code generation for diagramming tool event handlers. The third, MaramaTatau, uses a spreadsheet-like metaphor to construct meta-model formulae visually to specify structural dependencies and constraints to be realised at runtime. We propose an integrated visual approach that is generalised from these three explored exemplar approaches to specify event handling behaviours. We derive a canonical event handling model which enables interoperability between these exemplar event models, with also the support for synthesised runtime visualisation. This paper discusses the requirements and design of the resulting general purpose event handling framework, its evaluation and some key future directions.

description: The 3500 m deep Hawai'i Scientific Drilling Project core provides a ~680 kyr record of the magmatic history and source components of Mauna Kea volcano. We report high-precision Pb-Sr-Nd isotopic compositions of 40 basalts from the last 408 m of the final drilling phase (HSDP2-B and HSDP2-C) and show that these lowermost basalts represent the early shield stage of Mauna Kea's growth history. Two sample groups are distinguished based on their isotopic variability compared to the rest of the core. Over a depth interval of 210 m (3098.2–3308.2 mbsl), the basalts show very restricted isotopic variation and represent sampling of a relatively homogeneous source. Samples from the bottom 192 m record the largest range of 206Pb/204Pb and 208Pb/204Pb in the core, reflecting the greater isotopic variability of the earlier stages of volcanism compared to subsequent stages. The heterogeneity of Mauna Kea lavas is explained by mixing variable proportions of four distinct components intrinsic to the Hawaiian mantle plume. One of these components, Kea, is a prevalent and long-lived composition within the Hawaiian plume, whereas the other three components are involved at different stages of the volcano's history and contribute to the short-term isotopic variability of Mauna Kea. The compositional similarity of the Kea component to “C” and to the super-chondritic bulk-silicate Earth suggests that Kea may be part of the primitive mantle of a non-chondritic Earth. Other Pacific oceanic island basalts share Kea-like compositions, indicating that the Kea component is a common, widespread composition within the Pacific deep mantle

description: This paper develops a theoretical framework for antecedents of environmentally significant consumer behaviour by integrating value-belief-norm (VBN) theory (Stern 2000) and moral norm-activation (MNA) theory of altruism (Schwartz 1973, 1977). Specifically, we establish a conceptual framework for exploration of the impact of hedonistic and altruistic personal value orientations on consumer behavioural responses to climate change initiatives (CCIs). The paper explores the role of national contextual factors in Australia and Sri Lanka for climate change policy making and execution of CCIs. Initial research hypotheses and methodology are offered.
Examining the charge storage mechanisms of nanoscale nickel hydroxide

description: The aim of this work was to develop mechanistic understanding, as well as techniques to study the charging and discharging behaviour of a material which has controversially been described as either a battery or a pseudocapacitor electrode material. Nickel hydroxide, Ni(OH)2, was chosen as the material of choice due to its long history as a secondary battery cathode material, as well as recent interest in it as a high rate supercapacitor. This recent interest is mainly due to advances in nanoscaling the material architecture. After a review of the literature (Chapter 1) and a summation of the methods used in this thesis (Chapter 2), the experimental work began by studying the specific capacitance (Caps), the specific capacity (Cs) and the areal capacity (CA) of nickel hydroxide nanoparticles in aqueous 1.0 mol dm-3 potassium hydroxide electrolyte. Particles were fabricated using hydrothermal methods, in the diameter range of 3–450 nm (Chapter 3). All metrics were consistent with surface only charging down to a critical diameter of around 20 nm at which point there was a deviation. This suggested the novel idea that a charging “skin”, which was interacting below this diameter, was preventing further charging. This charging “skin” was investigated using ToF-SIMS with isotopic labelling (Chapter 4) to follow the uptake of deuterium ions during charging cycling. Ingress of deuterium into the material was dependent on charge cycling number, and the depth was found to approximately match that observed in the nanoparticle study. The impedance behaviour of the Ni(OH)2 was studied in order to separate the different contributions of non-Faradaic double layer capacitance, surface Faradaic pseudocapacitance, and intercalation reactions to the charge storage (Chapter 5). Studying the capacitance at different DC potentials and frequencies allowed these mechanisms to be deconvoluted, while the best fitting circuit model gave insight into the porous structure of the electrode. Using a semi-infinite pore model, the porous electrode data would not map onto the flat electrode data, showing the diffusion into the pores does not follow a semi-infinite model, as often assumed in literature. The evidence gathered suggests that the charging mechanism of Ni(OH)2 is a complex combination of both capacitive surface dependant charging and intercalation into the bulk of the structure.
Japan and the Security of East Asia

description: Three strategic security options are at Japan's disposal: unilateralism, bilateralism and multilateralism. The option chosen will have fundamental impacts on the security structure of East Asia in the next century. However, any decision for just one option would only infringe upon Japan's security, and thus destabilize the region. A synthesis between unilateralism, bilateralism and multilateralism should be found. Despite the potential disadvantages of multilateralism, a more active participation in regional and global management could possibly enhance Japan's security, should both the U.S and China feel that they could benefit from this. To determine the synthesis will be the strongest intellectual challenge for the Japanese elite in the twenty-first century.

Fifty years of Socialism in China: From the Self-Assertion of a Communist Regime to the New "Middle Kingdom"
Creators: name: Schottenhammer, Angela
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum

description: After some 30 years of socialism the Chinese leadership decided in 1978 to transform its economic basis in a very fundamental way - it gradually introduced market economic principles. These were supposed to help China to take a place in the world which it deserves, at least in the eyes of its leadership. Meanwhile, 50 years after the proclamation of the People's Republic of China, the country has in fact developed into a power which enjoys a certain world-wide respect because of its political but also its (future?) economic significance. But the realization of the leadership's eventual political and economic goal is doubtless fraught with many problems. In economic terms, under the present world-wide conditions, China seeks to participate in the global economic growth and credit speculation by means of a stable national currency in the same way as other already successful nations - but to reach this goal it has first to achieve substantial national economic growth. And in political terms, it is not only confronted with various internal problems, but also with the interests of these successful nations which critically watch and judge the further development of China.

Minangkabau Markets: A Picture of an Indigenous Economic System

description: This article explains the social and economic relationship of the local community with emphasis on the phenomena of the rural market. Looking at a number of different market actors with their typical social and economic characteristics, political roles played by the local adat leaders, who are institutionalized in the council called Kerapatan Adat Nagari (KAN), and the pattern of market circulation, the rural market is shown to represent a focal point of inter-societal relationships in the local community. As an integral part of the social rhythm of the Minangkabau peasant community the deeply rooted nature of the market represents the strong involvement of the Minangkabau in market and trade. The market constitutes a practical method of maintaining their local social organization and indicates that the principle of market economy cannot be separated from an understanding of Minangkabau culture.

description: Background: Little is known about the relationships of circulating levels of biomarkers of cartilage degradation with biomechanical outcomes relevant to knee osteoarthritis (OA) or biomarker changes following non-pharmacological interventions. The objectives of this exploratory, pilot study were to: 1) examine relationships between biomarkers of articular cartilage degradation and synthesis with measures of knee joint load during walking, and 2) examine changes in these biomarkers following 10 weeks of strengthening exercises. Methods Seventeen (8 male, 9 female; 66.1 +/- 11.3 years of age) individuals with radiographically-confirmed medial tibiofemoral OA participated. All participants underwent a baseline testing session where serum and urine samples were collected, followed by a three-dimensional motion analysis. Motion analysis was used to calculate the external knee adduction moment (KAM) peak value and impulse. Following baseline testing, participants were randomized to either 10 weeks of: 1) physiotherapist-supervised lower limb muscle strengthening exercises, or 2) no exercises (control). Identical follow-up testing was conducted 11 weeks after baseline. Biomarkers included: urinary C-telopeptide of type II collagen (uCTX-II) and type II collagen cleavage neoepitope (uC2C), serum cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (sCOMP), serum hyaluronic acid (sHA) and serum C-propeptide of type II procollagen (sCPII). Linear regression analysis was used to examine relationships between measures of the KAM and biomarker concentrations as baseline, as well as between-group differences following the intervention. Results KAM impulse predicted significant variation in uCTX-II levels at baseline (p = 0.04), though not when controlling for disease severity and walking speed (p = 0.33). KAM impulse explained significant variation in the ratio uCTX-II;sCPII even when controlling for additional variables (p = 0.04). Following the intervention, changes in sCOMP were significantly greater in the exercise group compared to controls (p = 0.04). On average those in the control group experienced a slight increase in sCOMP and uCTX-II, while those in the exercise group experienced a reduction. No other significant findings were observed. Conclusions This research provides initial evidence of a potential relationship between uCTX-II and knee joint load measures in patients with medial tibiofemoral knee OA. However, this relationship became non-significant after controlling for disease severity and walking speed, suggesting further research is necessary. It also appears that sCOMP is amenable to change following a strengthening intervention, suggesting a potential beneficial role of exercise on cartilage structure.

Modernization between Economic Requirements and Religious Law: Islamic Banking in Malaysia

description: Islamic banking is an attempt to structure the economy according to certain religious values and guidelines. It provides an alternative to Western banking for Muslim countries all over the world. However, there is a wide gap between Islamic banking in theory and practice, which I discuss in the first part of this article with the case of Malaysia. The second part changes the perspective by interpreting Islamic banking in the light of the Islamic modernization project. I conclude that this project is simultaneously an attempt to engender a non-Western path to modernity and to re-embed the economy in culture. From such a perspective Islamic banking is not only an inner struggle in the Islamic world between traditional and modernist values, but also a reaction to the Western, disembedded market model.
