description: Knapp ein Viertel der österreichischen Klein- und Mittelunternehmen wird im Zeitraum von 2020 bis 2029 mit der Regelung der Unternehmensnachfolge konfrontiert, wobei es durch eine erfolgreiche Umsetzung fast 700.000 Arbeitsplätze abzusichern gilt. Diese Unternehmensnachfolge-welle betrifft vor allem auch Familienunternehmen und wirft eine Vielzahl von Fragen zur Gestaltung und Finanzierung der Nachfolge auf. Angesichts des demografischen Wandels und sich ändernder Bedürfnisse ist die Suche nach Nachfolger*innen außerhalb der Familie für viele Unternehmer*innen unvermeidlich geworden. Insbesondere die Nachfolgeform des Management-Buy-outs hat sich als attraktive Option herauskristallisiert, bei dem das bestehende Management oder leitende Mitarbeiter*innen die Nachfolge antreten und das Unternehmen fortführen. 
Im Rahmen der Umsetzung der Unternehmensnachfolge ergeben sich sowohl Herausforderungen für die Übergeber*innen als auch für die Nachfolger*innen. Ein entscheidender Faktor für die erfolgreiche Umsetzung der Unternehmensnachfolge und die Vermeidung von Konflikten liegt in der Gestaltung eines Übergabeprozesses, bei dem ausgehend von den Zielen und Erwartungen ein klarer Plan auszuarbeiten ist. Hierbei soll explizit auf die Regelung von Verantwortlichkeiten, Rechten und Kompetenzen eingegangen werden. Vor allem für die Nachfolger*innen ergeben sich zudem erhebliche finanzielle Hürden, da sie oft nicht über ausreichend Eigenkapital verfügen, um die Nachfolge eigenständig zu finanzieren. 
Diese Masterarbeit untersucht daher die Möglichkeiten der Einbindung der Übergeber*innen in die Finanzierung von Management-Buy-outs in kleinen Familienunternehmen in Österreich. Die Ergebnisse bieten einen Einblick in die aktuellen Praktiken und Herausforderungen bei der Um-setzung von Management-Buy-outs, bilden gängige Finanzierungsstrukturen im Kontext der Unternehmensnachfolgen ab, zeigen die geringe Bedeutung alternativer Finanzierungsinstrumente im Segment der Unternehmensnachfolgen kleiner Unternehmen und verdeutlichen die Relevanz der Einbindung der Übergeber*innen in die Finanzierung, indem mögliche Lösungsansätze auf-gezeigt werden. Die abschließende Erörterung der Chancen und Risiken, welche sich durch die Einbindung der Übergeber*innen in die Finanzierung ergeben, bringt eine tendenziell stärkere Gewichtung der Chancen als Ergebnis hervor, wobei diese immer im Zusammenhang mit den spezifischen Herausforderungen individuell zu bewerten sind.
Economic Exit, Interdependence, and Conflict
Creators: name: Crescenzi, Mark J. C.

Year: 2003

description: This article examines the question of whether economic interdependence constrains or motivates interstate conflict. The theoretical model predicts when and how interdependence influences conflict, using exit costs to separate economic interdependence from less binding economic interaction. Analysis of the model suggests that when exit costs exceed an endurance threshold for at least one state, the threat of exit becomes a viable but limited bargaining tool. Exceeding this threshold increases low-level conflict as states use economic and diplomatic tools to resolve demands, but it decreases high-level conflict because states take advantage of more efficient means of dispute resolution. If the stakes are too high, however, exit costs fail to check conflict, and the economic relationship becomes an ineffective bargaining arena. Empirical analysis provides support for the hypotheses derived from the model.

description: We aim to constrain the structure of the circumstellar material around the post-AGB binary and RV Tauri pulsator AC Her. We want to constrain the spatial distribution of the amorphous as well as of the crystalline dust. We present very high-quality mid-IR interferometric data that were obtained with MIDI/VLTI. We analyse the MIDI data and the full SED, using the MCMax radiative transfer code, to find a good structure model of AC Her's circumbinary disk. We include a grain size distribution and midplane settling of dust self-consistently. The spatial distribution of crystalline forsterite in the disk is investigated with the mid-IR features, the 69~$μ$m band and the 11.3~$μ$m signatures in the interferometric data. All the data are well fitted. The inclination and position angle of the disk are well determined at i=50+-8 and PA=305+-10. We firmly establish that the inner disk radius is about an order of magnitude larger than the dust sublimation radius. Significant grain growth has occurred, with mm-sized grains being settled to the midplane of the disk. A large dust mass is needed to fit the sub-mm fluxes. By assuming α=0.01, a good fit is obtained with a small grain size power law index of 3.25, combined with a small gas/dust ratio <10. The resulting gas mass is compatible with recent estimates employing direct gas diagnostics. The spatial distribution of the forsterite is different from the amorphous dust, as more warm forsterite is needed in the surface layers of the inner disk. The disk in AC Her is very evolved, with its small gas/dust ratio and large inner hole. Mid-IR interferometry offers unique constraints, complementary to mid-IR features, for studying the mineralogy in disks. A better uv coverage is needed to constrain in detail the distribution of the crystalline forsterite in AC Her, but we find strong similarities with the protoplanetary disk HD100546.

description: Political scientists have developed increasingly sophisticated understandings of the influences on Supreme Court decision making. Yet, much less attention has been paid to empirical measures of the Court’s ideological output. We develop a theory of the interactions between rational litigants, lower court judges, and Supreme Court justices. We argue that the most common measure of the Supreme Court’s ideological output—whether the Court’s decision is liberal or conservative—suffers from systematic bias. We trace this bias empirically and explain the undesirable consequences it has for empirical analyses of judicial behavior. Specifically, we show that, although the Court’s preferences are positively correlated with the ideological direction of the justices’ decision to reverse a lower court, the attitudes of the justices are negatively related—and significantly so—to the ideological direction of outcomes that affirm lower court decisions. We also offer a solution that allows scholars to work around this ‘‘affirmance bias.’’

description: Ocular coloboma (OC) is a failure of complete optic fissure closure during embryonic development and presents as a tissue defect along the proximal–distal axis of the ventral eye. It is classed as part of the clinical spectrum of structural eye malformations with microphthalmia and anophthalmia, collectively abbreviated to MAC. Despite deliberate attempts to identify causative variants in MAC, many patients remain without a genetic diagnosis. To reveal potential candidate genes, we utilised transcriptomes experimentally generated from embryonic eye tissues derived from humans, mice, zebrafish, and chicken at stages coincident with optic fissure closure. Our in-silico analyses found 10 genes with optic fissure-specific enriched expression: ALDH1A3, BMPR1B, EMX2, EPHB3, NID1, NTN1, PAX2, SMOC1, TENM3, and VAX1. In situ hybridization revealed that all 10 genes were broadly expressed ventrally in the developing eye but that only PAX2 and NTN1 were expressed in cells at the edges of the optic fissure margin. Of these conserved optic fissure genes, EMX2, NID1, and EPHB3 have not previously been associated with human MAC cases. Targeted genetic manipulation in zebrafish embryos using CRISPR/Cas9 caused the developmental MAC phenotype for emx2 and ephb3. We analysed available whole genome sequencing datasets from MAC patients and identified a range of variants with plausible causality. In combination, our data suggest that expression of genes involved in ventral eye development is conserved across a range of vertebrate species and that EMX2, NID1, and EPHB3 are candidate loci that warrant further functional analysis in the context of MAC and should be considered for sequencing in cohorts of patients with structural eye malformations.

description: Neural tube defects (NTDs) are among the most severe and prevalent human congenital malformations. Their etiology is complex and multifactorial, influenced by dynamically interacting genetic and environmental factors. It is well known that maternal dietary folate status is the greatest modifying factor associated with risk for NTD-affected pregnancies, and that dietary fortification of folic acid (FA) can prevent a significant proportion of NTDs. However, many NTDs have proven to be FA-resistant, presenting a need to understand mechanisms underlying these FA-resistant defects and develop novel intervention strategies targeting this population. A class of FA-resistant NTD mouse models have been developed by inactivating genes associated with mitochondrial one-carbon metabolism (mOCM). Thus, Part One of this work sought to elucidate mechanisms by which impaired mOCM results in FA-resistant NTDs. By crossing mice heterozygous for loss of Slc25a32, a gene coding for the mitochondrial folate transporter, with mice heterozygous for the Crooked Tail (Cd) allele of Lrp6, a gene coding for a Wnt co-receptor, it was discovered that a proportion of resulting co-heterozygous offspring presented with NTDs, suggesting a novel digenic interaction between Lrp6 and mOCM. Further experiments demonstrated that Lrp6 regulates expression of mOCM genes in mouse embryos, while CHO cells lacking Slc25a32 demonstrated impaired Wnt signaling rescued by the one-carbon donor, glycine. Building on those data, it was discovered that maternal glycine supplementation could prevent NTDs in Slc25a32 null embryos, and that glycine or serine supplementation may reduce NTDs in Lrp6 Cd mice. Part One experiments also demonstrated that embryonic stem cells lacking Mthfd1l, another mOCM gene, have proliferation defects and are sensitive to hypoxia. Environmental exposure to certain pharmaceutical compounds also increases risk for NTDs. Part Two of this work sought to identify mechanisms of NTD pathology associated with two common pharmaceuticals, the anticonvulsant, valproic acid (VPA), and the HIV integrase inhibitor, dolutegravir (DTG). Untargeted metabolic profiling was performed on VPA-treated mouse embryos, and predictive biomarkers of VPA sensitivity were identified by comparing VPA-affected and unaffected embryos. Other experiments identified a novel, calcium-enhanced interaction between DTG, folate, and folate receptor, suggesting a plausible mechanism by which DTG may enhance NTD risk.

description: In the inert scalar doublet framework, we analyze what would be the effect of a $B-L$ asymmetry that could have been produced in the Universe thermal bath at high temperature. We show that, unless the "$λ_5$" scalar interaction is tiny, this asymmetry is automatically reprocessed in part into an inert scalar asymmetry that could be at the origin of dark matter today. Along this scenario, the inert mass scale lies in the few-TeV range and direct detection constraints require that the inert scalar particles decay into a lighter dark matter particle which, as the inert doublet, is odd under a $Z_2$ symmetry.

description: One of the most important demonstrations of power in Washington is the ability to recruit sitting government officials to become active proponents of one’s position. Many have suggested money is the key: Campaign contributions buy friends, access, and perhaps even policy activism. We provide an alternative view based on a deceptively simple observation: Lobbyists rarely lobby alone. We show empirically that government policymakers respond to the overall structure of conflict, not the resources of individual lobbying groups. Our project is based on in-depth interviews with over 300 policy advocates and systematic information on each of more than 2,000 advocates playing a significant role in a random sample of 98 policy issues in the United States federal government from 1999 to 2002.

description: Darboux transformations for polynomial perturbations of a real multivariate measure are found. The 1D Christoffel formula is extended to the multidimensional realm: multivariate orthogonal polynomials are expressed in terms of last quasi-determinants and sample matrices. The coefficients of these matrices are the original orthogonal polynomials evaluated at a set of nodes, which is supposed to be poised. A discussion for the existence of poised sets is given in terms of algebraic hypersufaces in the complex affine space.
description: In this version we have not only added two more bibliographic references but also performed major changes in Section 3 on poised sets. This was motivated by our recent finding that full column rank of the Vandermonde matrix is not only necessary but sufficient. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1409.0570
The Symbolic and Substantive Representation of LGB Americans in the US House

description: As public opinion in the United States has shifted on questions of gay rights in the last decade, some members of Congress have likewise adjusted their behavior to address issues of concern to their lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) constituents. We argue that the number of LGB constituents in a district affects the representatives’ behavior. Although the size of the LGB population positively affects the substantive representation members provide to their LGB constituents, population is conditioned by majority public opinion on LGB issues in determining members’ low-cost, symbolic representation of LGB constituents. More favorable majority attitudes toward the minority allow the member to provide more symbolic representation to LGB constituents through low-cost gestures and actions. Statistical tests examining the effects of minority population and public opinion on House members’ voting records, bill sponsorships and cosponsorships, and caucus memberships from 2005 to 2011 provide support for our hypotheses.

description: Poor cognitive ability is a consequence of a wide variety of neurobehavioral disorders and is a growing health problem, especially among the elderly and patients with diabetes. The precise underlying cause of this complication is not well-defined. However, recent studies have highlighted the possible role of insulin hormone signaling in brain tissue. Insulin is a metabolic peptide integral to whole body energy homeostasis; it does, however, have extrametabolic impacts, such as upon neuronal circuits. Therefore, it has been suggested that insulin signaling may modify cognitive ability by yet unknown pathways. In the current review, we discuss the cognitive role of brain insulin signaling and consider the possible links between brain insulin signaling and cognitive ability.

description: ABSTRACT
 This research was done to explore the relationship between Organizational Commitment with Perceived Job Performance among nurses in a tertiary hospital in Bahrain. It was assumed that a positive work attitude and higher organizational commitment enhance the performance of an individual. The need and significance of this research stem to understand the relationship. The cross-sectional survey design was used. The online survey questionnaire was shared with the participants and 408 nurses participated. Analysis of data was done by using both descriptive and inferential statistics. The gender-wise mean (SD) scores show that both male and female were having comparable scores for organizational commitment scores and perceived job performance. The age, years of experience at KHUH, and total years of experience show a positive correlation with organizational commitment and perceived job performance scores. However, the educational qualification of nurses, the job category, and the department of work has no significant impact on organizational commitment and perceived job performance scores. A positive correlation was found between organizational commitment and perceived job performance scores (r - 0.307). Both Affective Commitment and Normative Commitment show a positive correlation with nurses’ job performance except for Continuance Commitment. There is a weak positive correlation between all the subscale domains of Perceived job performance and the organizational commitment scores. Generating an understanding of the nature of a nurse’s commitment to the organization should prove useful in planning change, creating readiness for change, predicting the reactions to the change, tracking the progress of change, and guiding efforts to enhance the quality of work life.

Coherence masking protection in brief noise complexes: Effects of temporal patterns
Creators: name: Gordon, Peter C.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1997

description: Three experiments examined listeners' thresholds for classifying the pitch of a target signal in a masking noise when it was presented alone as compared to when it was presented with a "cosignal." The target signal was a narrow band of noise centered on either 375 or 625 Hz and the masker was noise low-pass filtered at 1000 Hz. The cosignal provided no information about the pitch of the target signal but could potentially combine with it to form an auditory object; it was spectrally well separated from the target signal, consisting of a band of noise ranging from 2200 to 2900 Hz. Experiment 1 showed that identification thresholds were lower when the target signal was paired with the cosignal than when it was presented alone if the onsets and offsets of the target signal and cosignal were temporally synchronous. This is an instance of "coherence masking protection," a phenomenon that has previously been established in the perception of vowels [P.C. Gordon, Percept. Psychophys, 59, 232-242 (1997)]. The effect disappears when the cosignal leads and lags the target signal by short durations, a finding that also matches that observed previously with vowels. The finding that temporal relations between the components of a stimulus have similar effects on the perception of nonspeech noise complexes and speech sounds suggests that speech perception makes use of general auditory mechanisms for perceptual integration of this sort. Experiments 2 and 3 examine further the role of temporal relations between the onsets and offsets of the target signal and the cosignal in producing coherence masking protection. The results show that either onset synchrony or offset synchrony is sufficient to produce the effect when the cosignal is of greater duration than the target signal, but that only onset synchrony produces the effect when the target signal has greater duration than the cosignal. This pattern indicates that the target signal and cosignal do not contribute equally to the formation of auditory objects.

description: Trichoderma is a saprophytic fungus that is used worldwide as a biocontrol and biofertilizer agent. Although considered nonpathogenic until recently, reports of human infections produced by members of the Trichoderma genus are increasing. Numerous sources of infection were proposed based upon patient data and phylogenetic analysis, including air, agriculture, and healthcare facilities, but the deficit of knowledge concerning Trichoderma infections makes patient treatment difficult. These issues are compounded by isolates that present profiles which exhibit high minimum inhibitory concentration values to available antifungal drugs. The aim of this review is to present the global distribution and sources of infections that affect both immunocompetent and immunocompromised hosts, clinical features, therapeutic strategies that are used to treat patients, as well as highlighting treatments with the best responses. In addition, the antifungal susceptibility profiles of Trichoderma isolates that have emerged in recent decades were examined and which antifungal drugs need to be further evaluated as potential candidates to treat Trichoderma infections are also indicated.

description: The mineral haydeeite, alpha-MgCu3(OD)6Cl2, is a S=1/2 kagome ferromagnet that displays long-range magnetic order below TC=4.2 K with a strongly reduced moment. Our inelastic neutron scattering data show clear spin-wave excitations that are well described by a Heisenberg Hamiltonian with ferromagnetic nearest-neighbor exchange J1=-38 K and antiferromagnetic exchange Jd=+11 K across the hexagons of the kagome lattice. These values place haydeeite very close to the quantum phase transition between ferromagnetic order and non-coplanar twelve-sublattice cuboc2 antiferromagnetic order. Diffuse dynamic short-range ferromagnetic correlations observed above TC persist well into the ferromagnetically ordered phase with a behavior distinct from critical scattering.

Reference price effect on consumer choice in online and traditional supermarkets: An application of discrete choice model on home scan data

description: Reference price effect on consumer choices is an acknowledged phenomenon in marketing literature. Several studies have explored this issue using both observational studies and choice experiments. Furthermore, evidence exists on different consumer behaviour when shopping in traditional stores and online. Hence, question arises on whether and how consumers take into account reference price when shopping online. This study aims to analyze and compare consumer behaviour in online stores and traditional stores. A definition of reference price based on past prices is adopted and a discrete choice model is proposed, which includes gain and losses as additional product attributes, with individual-specific coefficients. The model is applied on observed cola purchases (home scan data) in traditional supermarkets and in an online store. Results indicate that loss aversion does play a role in online choices, but the effect is smaller if compared to choices in traditional stores.

Virtual pitch integration for asynchronous harmonics
Creators: name: Buss, Emily

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2002

description: This experiment examined the generation of virtual pitch for harmonically related tones that do not overlap in time. The interval between successive tones was systematically varied in order to gauge the integration period for virtual pitch. A pitch discrimination task was employed, and both harmonic and nonharmonic tone series were tested. The results confirmed that a virtual pitch can be generated by a series of brief, harmonically related tones that are separated in time. Robust virtual pitch information can be derived for intervals between successive 40-ms tones of up to about 45 ms, consistent with a minimum estimate of integration period of about 210 ms. Beyond intertone intervals of 45 ms, performance becomes more variable and approaches an upper limit where discrimination of tone sequences can be undertaken on the basis of the individual frequency components. The individual differences observed in this experiment suggest that the ability to derive a salient virtual pitch varies across listeners.

Publisher: name: University of Limerick
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 49
subject: Mathematical sciences

description: We study the spreading solutions of the nonlinear diffusion equation 𝑐𝑡 = [(𝜈 + 𝑐)𝑐𝑥]𝑥 when the far-field diffusivity 𝜈 is small. The method of strained coordinates is used to construct a uniform asymptotic correction to the similarity solution of the unperturbed problem. The equation provides a possible analogue to similar models of fluid jets and plumes.

Mid-rapidity charged hadron transverse spherocity in pp collisions simulated with Pythia

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The pp collisions have been studied for a long time, however, there are still some effects which are not completely understood, such as the long range angular correlations and the flow patterns in high multiplicity events, which were recently discovered at the LHC. In a recent work it was demonstrated that in Pythia 8, multi-parton interactions and color reconnection can give some of the observed effects similar to the collective flow well known from heavy-ion collisions. Now using the same model, a study based on mid-rapidity charged hadron transverse spherocity is presented. The main purpose of this work is to show that a differential study combining multiplicity and event shapes opens the possibility to understand better the features of data, specially at high multiplicity.

Vibrational frequencies and tuning of the African mbira
Creators: name: Mitran, S.
name: McNeil, L. E.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2008

description: The acoustic spectrum of the mbira, a musical instrument from Africa that produces sound by the vibration of cantilevered metal rods, has been measured. It is found that the most prominent overtones present in the spectrum have frequencies that are approximately 5 and 14 times the lowest frequency. A finite-element model of the vibration of the key that takes into account the acoustic radiation efficiency of the various normal modes reveals that the far-field power spectrum is dominated by modes involving predominately transverse motion of the key. Modes involving longitudinal motion do not radiate efficiently, and therefore contribute little to the sound produced. The high frequencies of the dominant overtones relative to the fundamental make it unlikely that the tunings of the mbira that are used by expert musicians are determined by matching the fundamental frequencies of the upper keys with the overtones of the lower keys.
