description: Publication name: Burdzik, T. (2013). Między indywidualizmem a zbiorowością – globalizacja a tożsamość. Horyzonty Wychowania, 12(24), 59–73. doi:10.6084/m9.figshare.961737 Abstrakt Artykuł przedstawia wpływ globalizacji na tożsamość oraz zagadnienie indywidualizacji. Globalizacja narzuca wiele procesów, które nie są ujednolicone, rozgrywają się w różnym czasie oraz miejscach. Globalizacja oddziałuje między młodzieżą, rodzinami, systemami kulturowymi. Procesy globalizacyjne mogą się przyczyniać do utraty tożsamości kulturowej. Różnorodność globalizacji powoduje wytwarzanie nowych tożsamości. Tożsamość jest określana jako proces, w którym następuje dopasowanie wewnętrzne oraz zewnętrzne. Równocześnie zostają zaprezentowane wyzwania globalizacyjne, takie jak tożsamość i swoboda indywidualizacji kontra zbiorowość i przynależność. Autor analizuje niektóre nowe wyzwania i trendy, prezentując je z perspektywy wybranych teorii. Słowa kluczowe: tożsamość, globalizacja, socjalizacja,indywidualizm, zbiorowość Abstract The article presents the influence of globalisation on identity and the question of individualisation. Globalisation implies multiple processes that are not uniform, as they occur at different times and in different places. Globalisation impacts the youth, families and cultural systems. The processes of globalisation may contribute to the loss of cultural identity. The diverse nature of globalisation has given rise to new identities. Identity is defined as a process of internal and external adjustment. Concurrently, the challenges posed by globalisation are presented, for instance: identity and freedom of individualisation versus community and belonging. The author explores some of the new challenges and trends, presenting them from selected theoretical perspectives. Keywords: identity, globalization, socialization,indyvidualism,community
Do human and social capital investments influence survival? A study of female immigrant entrepreneurship in Germany
Creators: name: Fertala, Nikolinka

description: The objective of this study is to examine to what extent investments in human and social capital enhance the survival performance of immigrant and native female entrepreneurs in Germany. The empirical analysis is based on unique data derived from the Chamber of Industrial and Commercial Matters in Munich, Germany. The data set consists of 110,250 companies that were either founded or liquidated in Upper Bavaria during the period 1997-2004. We develop a Gompertz-Makeham hazard model to predict the survival changes of those enterprises. Our main findings confirm the negative influence of either aforementioned type of capital on the hazard rate. Most notably, the inverted U-shape relation is not only evident between success and human capital endowment, but between social capital and survival duration as well. The latter result is unique in its nature, and has not been detected for the area of immigrant entrepreneurship in general.
Effect of Aerosol Volatility on the Sizing Accuracy of Differential Mobility Analyzers

description: Differential mobility analyzers (DMAs) are widely used for calibrating other instruments and measuring aerosol size distributions. DMAs classify aerosol particles according to their electrical mobility, which is assumed to be constant during the classification process. However, particles containing semivolatile substances can change their size in the DMA, leading to sizing errors. In this article, the effect of particle size changes during the classification process on the sizing accuracy of DMAs is discussed. It is shown that DMAs select particles whose time-of-flight-averaged electrical mobility is equal to that of stable particles that are selected under given operating conditions. For evaporating particles, this implies that DMAs select particles that are originally larger than the reported size. At the exit of the DMA, selected particles are smaller than the reported size. Particle evaporation and growth inside DMAs was modeled to study the effect of particle size changes on the sizing accuracy and the transfer function of DMAs in constant- and scanning-voltage modes of operation. Modeling predictions were found to agree well with the results of experiments with ammonium nitrate aerosol. The model was used to estimate sizing errors when measuring hygroscopic and other volatile aerosols. Errors were found to be larger at smaller sizes and low sheath flow rates. Errors, however, are fairly small when saturation concentration is below 10 μg/m3, assuming an evaporation coefficient of 0.1. Particles size changes during classification lead to distortion of the DMA transfer function. In voltage scanning mode, errors are generally larger, especially at high scan rates.Copyright 2014 American Association for Aerosol Research

description: We assessed the role of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) strains viz. Burkholdera cepacia SE4, Promicromonospora sp. SE188 and Acinetobacter calcoaceticus SE370 in counteracting salinity and drought stress to cucumber plants. The control plants had stunted growth, while PGPR-treated plants had significantly higher biomass and chlorophyll contents under salinity and drought stress. The ameliorative effects of PGPR-application were also evidenced by the increased water potential and decreased electrolytic leakage. The PGPR-applied plants had reduced sodium ion concentration, while the potassium and phosphorus were abundantly present as compared to control under stress. Oxidative stress was mitigated by PGPR through reduced activities of catalase, peroxidase, polyphenol oxidase, and total polyphenol as compared to control. The control plants showed up-regulation of stress-responsive abscisic acid as compared to PGPR application, while salicylic acid and gibberellin 4 were significantly higher in PGPR. In conclusion, the PGPR application might be used in marginalized agricultural lands to increase crop productivity.

description: AIMS: To explore veterinary perceptions of inherited disorders in pedigree dogs within New Zealand and how these affect animal health and welfare.METHODS: An online questionnaire was distributed to the 647 members of the Companion Animal Society of the New Zealand Veterinary Association using an online survey system. The questionnaire collected details of practitioners, pedigree dog breeds and disorders most often encountered in practice, and responses to questions and statements regarding inherited disorders and pedigree dogs.RESULTS: Of the 216 respondents, 194 (89.8%) believed inherited disorders in dogs were a significant issue. The most commonly identified breeds presenting with inherited disorders were Boxer, Bulldog and German Shepherd dog. The most commonly reported inherited disorders were hip dysplasia, brachycephalic syndromes and elbow dysplasia. Of 207 respondents, 100 (48.3%) had advised clients against purchasing a pedigree dog due to common inherited disorders and 183 (85.6 %) considered the health and welfare of some breeds to be too compromised to continue breeding. Of 199 respondents, 132 (66.3%) reported seeing no change in prevalence of inherited conditions, 103/204 (50.5%) reported seeing a positive change in attitudes toward inherited disorders among dog owners, and 81/207 (39.1%) thought legislative support would help decrease inherited disorders in pedigree dogs. Attitudes were not associated with time since graduation or ownership of a New Zealand Kennel Club registered breed of dog. The most common suggestions to decrease prevalence of inherited disorders were to alter breed standards, educate public or buyers and compulsory genetic testing.CONCLUSIONS: Among respondents, veterinarians considered inherited disorders as significant issues in a number of pedigree breeds. Veterinarians were concerned about inherited disorders in pedigree dogs, felt they had an obligation to treat such animals and were supportive of measures to make genetic testing for inheritable disorders a requirement for registration of pedigree breeds.CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Prevalence and perceived importance of inherited disorders influences how clinicians advise their clients. Respondents to this survey provided a number of mechanisms by which inherited disorders may be managed and these could form the basis of future discussions within the profession.

description: We used quantum chemical formation free energies of hydrated sulfuric acid-containing molecular clusters and a dynamic model to simulate a flow tube measurement, and determined the effective diffusion coefficient of sulfuric acid as a function of relative humidity. This type of measurement was performed by Hanson and Eisele, who presented and applied a fitting method to obtain equilibrium constants K1 and K2 for the formation of sulfuric acid mono- and dihydrates, respectively, from the experimentally determined diffusion coefficients. The fit is derived assuming that only H2SO4 molecules hydrated by up to two water molecules are present. To study the sensitivity of the results to this assumption, we implemented the same fit to the modeled diffusion coefficient data, computed including also larger H2SO4 hydrates with more than two waters. We show that according to quantum chemical equilibrium constants, the larger hydrates are likely to be present in nonnegligible amounts, which affects the effective diffusion coefficient. This results in the fitted value obtained for K1 being lower and for K2 being higher than the actual values. The results are further altered if contaminant base molecules, such as amines, capable of binding to H2SO4 molecules, are able to enter the system, for example, with the water vapor. The magnitude and direction of the effect of the contaminants depends not only on the contaminant concentration, but also on the H2SO4 concentration and on the hygroscopicity of the H2SO4–base clusters.Copyright 2014 American Association for Aerosol Research
Entrepreneurial education for the new millennium: a social capital perspective
Creators: name: Yamin, Shahid

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The main aim of this paper is to examine entrepreneurial education from a social capital perspective. We first reviewed the extant literature in both social capital and entrepreneurial education. A more philosophical approach is undertaken to determine what entrepreneurship truly means and how the knowledge stream will be delivered to encourage cognition and behavioural development among students. The main thread of the argument is that entrepreneurship is the process of the creation of a new business or a growing existing business through an exploration of new opportunities within or outside the existing market space. In order to achieve this objective, nations and institutions have to invest not only in the education system but also in the overall development of social capital. We argue that social capital is one of the primary resources which needs to be developed in order to achieve success from pedagogical initiatives of entrepreneurship. It is difficult to refute that entrepreneurial education is fundamental to the development of economies in the new millennium. Particularly as the knowledge economy grows there is a need for forward looking and critical thinkers to identify new ways of conducting business. Thus, physical asset based business models that were appropriate in the last century may not produce satisfactory results in the 21st century and beyond. The role of a knowledge economy dictates fundamentally different aspects of human behaviour and talents. Thus it is encompassing on both the policy makers and educationalist to develop curriculum that assists in developing and propagating critical analysis as a means of instruction and education. In order to further the growth of human talents educational policies should initiate such pedagogical changes throughout the early school years and beyond. This is paramount for successful transition into entrepreneurial oriented society. A unique conceptual model is developed in light of current pedagogical and social capital theories and recommendations are made for both educational and institutional bodies as well as a policy paradigm is suggested for making such change effective.

The simulation scan comparison process for monitoring manufacturing environments
Creators: name: McAtee, Steven
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Automated manufacturing systems have developed significantly in the last few years, but they still remain fragile and unreliable under operational conditions. The objective of this research is to develop a decision support system that can identify problems that occur in a manufacturing environment by comparing a simulation of a manufacturing process with a three dimensional (3D) scan of the physical environment. The Simulation Scan Comparison (SSC) process was designed to compare a simulation of a manufacturing process to a 3D scan of an environment. The SSC process integrates three components: Environmental Analysis, Task Analysis and Path Planning. The Environmental Analysis is based on using a simulation for background subtraction of the 3D scan. This technique is capable of identifying known simulation objects, detecting missing simulation objects and isolating unknown objects from the scan data. The Environmental Analysis was tested by analysing the background subtraction process. For this analysis the scan was divided into areas where the scan matched to objects, areas conflicted with simulation objects and areas not matched to any simulation objects. Three scenarios were created to test the matching process: The simulation and scan environment were kept the same to test the matching of known objects; objects were added to the simulation but not the physical environment to test the missing object detection; objects were added to the physical environment, but not the simulation environment, to test the unknown object detection. The analysis of these scenarios showed that the SSC process could successfully detect that simulation objects were correctly matched 98% of the time and that unknown objects were present 90% of the time. The use of oriented bounding boxes to measure unknown objects was analysed to determine the reliability of the measurements produced. This shows that the measurement reliability of the objects was related to the scan resolution and that to be detected successfully objects should be at least three scan resolutions in any dimension. Two tracking algorithms based on analysing the unknown object data from unknown object were tested; a position based method and a velocity based method. The results demonstrate that the SSC object isolation technique can be utilised to identify and track unknown objects in a known workspace. This demonstrates that the unknown object detections are robust enough over time to perform object tracking.

description: In southern Sweden, maintaining high cervid densities through supplemental feeding has become a common management practice. We aim at investigating deer browsing pressure on young Norway spruce in relation to distance from supplemental feeding sites. Because available forage is considered important in understanding browsing patterns, we modeled several factors affecting food availability, and their interaction effect with distance. We confirmed earlier studies about a locally high browsing pressure on natural vegetation adjacent to supplemental feeding sites where browsing pressure declined with distance and alternative forage abundance. Novel is that browsing on spruce occurred in 27.6% of the investigated plots. The browsing pressure of those plots averaged 9%. Distance was the most important factor in relation to browsing. The interactive effect of occurring field layer (FL), and deciduous trees was also highlighted as these significantly affected the relationship between browsing pressure on spruce and distance. In the studied conditions, browsing pressure ceased at ca. 205 m, whereas in scenarios of an abundant FL, browsing levels were negligible already at 0 m from supplemental feeding sites. We suspect that most of the browsing was caused by fallow deer in our study area.

The thermo-mechanical behaviour of polymethyl methacrylate in roll-to-roll hot embossing of microfluidic channels

description: The roll-to-roll (R2R) hot embossing technique is developed from the conventional hot embossing technique, which has been a predominant method for fabricating microfluidic channels on polymeric materials, such as polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). The benefits of R2R hot embossing are the ability to take advantage of conventional hot embossing, as well as the potential for mass production. However, the research in R2R hot embossing remains limited, with very few studies to test or simulate the process of R2R hot embossing. This thesis presents a systematic analysis of the R2R hot embossing by investigating the thermo-mechanical behaviour of PMMA.
Both experimental and numerical methods have been used to understand the R2R hot embossing of PMMA-based microfluidic channels. For the experimental method, a series of R2R hot embossing trials have been conducted on a PMMA film with a custom-designed generic shim. The shim contains straight line features with a relief height of 40 µm and different line widths. The trial experiment runs at different embossing temperatures from 105 to 110 °C at every one degree, while other process parameters, such as nip pressure and web moving speed, are kept constant. The numerical method employs calibration data from tensile tests and DMA to simulate the formation of microfluidic channels in the cross-sectional area using the finite element simulation package, Abaqus/Standard. A Python script has been written to automatically generate input files for these simulations.
From experimental trials of R2R hot embossing it has demonstrated that at temperatures close to Tg, there are nearly no embossed features. The transfer rate, which is calculated by dividing the highest channel depth by the stamp height, increases with line widths. The highest transfer rate is 51.3% when the a 1-mm-wide line feature is embossed at 109 °C. The simulation method employs a parallel network model with viscoplastic components calibrated from test data ranging from 90 to 110 °C and strain rate ranging from 0.001 to 0.1/s. The calibrated data agrees well with the test data, and shows reasonable accuracy in predicting the cross-sectional profile of microfluidic channels. The Python script has been proved to be an efficient way for such numerical predictions under different process parameters. These findings have been generated to provide for guidance for microfluidic chip designers to modify shim layouts, and for process engineers to optimise the process parameters of R2R hot embossing.

description: We present two new late-type brown dwarf candidate members of the TW Hydrae association (TWA) : 2MASS J12074836-3900043 and 2MASS J12474428-3816464, which were found as part of the BANYAN all-sky survey (BASS) for brown dwarf members to nearby young associations. We obtained near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy for both objects (NIR spectral types are respectively L1 and M9), as well as optical spectroscopy for J1207-3900 (optical spectral type is L0γ), and show that both display clear signs of low-gravity, and thus youth. We use the BANYAN II Bayesian inference tool to show that both objects are candidate members to TWA with a very low probability of being field contaminants, although the kinematics of J1247-3816 seem slightly at odds with that of other TWA members. J1207-3900 is currently the latest-type and the only isolated L-type candidate member of TWA. Measuring the distance and radial velocity of both objects is still required to claim them as bona fide members. Such late-type objects are predicted to have masses down to 11-15 MJup at the age of TWA, which makes them compelling targets to study atmospheric properties in a regime similar to that of currently known imaged extrasolar planets.

description: Oleuropein has many antimicrobial, antiviral, and anticancer features found in olive leaf. Therefore, its isolation from olive leaf is very important in such kinds of applications. In this study, a solid-phase extraction system based on the molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) was proposed for the selective separation of oleuropein from olive leaf. First, oleuropein imprinted polymer has been prepared by the suspension polymerization using methacrylolamidoantiprine–iron (III) metal-chelate monomers. After that, the oleuropein adsorption capacity and selectivity of the prepared imprinted polymer has been determined. The maximum adsorption capacity of oleuropein has found to be 140 mg g−1. Finally, MIP has been used as a sorbent in the solid-phase extraction for the separation of oleuropein from crude extract of olive leaves. The oleuropein analyses have been realized by high performance liquid chromatography. The obtained results indicated that the prepared molecularly imprinted sorbent could be used for at least 10 times for purification of oleuropein from olive leaf. The application of the proposed system in the real sample showed that 24.2 mg pure oleuropein could be obtained from 1.0 g of crude olive leaf extract. As a result, the low cost, simple, and selective adsorbent has been developed for oleuropein adsorption. Supplemental materials are available for this article.

description: We assessed the abilities of rice husk (RH), rice husk carbon (RHC), and peat to adsorb Cr, Fe, Mn, Ni, Zn, and Pb from aqueous solutions compared with commercial activated carbon (AC). The sorbent capacities were evaluated by percolation of aqueous solutions containing these six metals through adsorbent columns. Metal concentration was monitored by total reflection X-ray fluorescence (TXRF). Initial metal concentrations added to the columns were between 25 and 50 mg L−1, while those in the treated effluent ranged from 0.004 to 0.96 mg L−1. The adsorption capacities of the sorbents for these metals were examined by non-linear Langmuir and Freundlich models. The maximum adsorptive capacities expressed as individual metal (qm) sums were 67.7, 86.9, 80, and 44.6 mg g−1 for AC, RHC, peat, and RH, respectively. The resulting isotherm parameters were used to compare the performance of the sorbents and to determine the ΔG values. After percolation through the adsorbent columns, the ecotoxicity of the eluates were determined with the probe Daphnia magna. Effluents from the rice husk sorbent column exhibited the lowest toxicity. Supplemental materials are available for this article.

description: Oleuropein has many antimicrobial, antiviral, and anticancer features found in olive leaf. Therefore, its isolation from olive leaf is very important in such kinds of applications. In this study, a solid-phase extraction system based on the molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) was proposed for the selective separation of oleuropein from olive leaf. First, oleuropein imprinted polymer has been prepared by the suspension polymerization using methacrylolamidoantiprine–iron (III) metal-chelate monomers. After that, the oleuropein adsorption capacity and selectivity of the prepared imprinted polymer has been determined. The maximum adsorption capacity of oleuropein has found to be 140 mg g−1. Finally, MIP has been used as a sorbent in the solid-phase extraction for the separation of oleuropein from crude extract of olive leaves. The oleuropein analyses have been realized by high performance liquid chromatography. The obtained results indicated that the prepared molecularly imprinted sorbent could be used for at least 10 times for purification of oleuropein from olive leaf. The application of the proposed system in the real sample showed that 24.2 mg pure oleuropein could be obtained from 1.0 g of crude olive leaf extract. As a result, the low cost, simple, and selective adsorbent has been developed for oleuropein adsorption. Supplemental materials are available for this article.

description: This study aimed at examining the properties of blends of semi-crystalline polydioxanone (PDX) and amorphous poly(methyl dioxanone) (PMeDX). The authors show that low amounts of PMeDX, within 15 wt% acts as plasticizer to high molar mass PDX as confirmed by an increase in Young's modulus of films. The plasticizing effect on blends increased with decreasing reduced viscosity of PMeDX. Mechanical tests showed overall reduced tensile properties of the blends. Viscosity analysis coupled with SEM and AFM indicated immiscibility of the blends over the whole range of compositions. Blend samples with higher PMeDX contents degraded at faster rates with profiles differing from PDX.

description: In southern Sweden, maintaining high cervid densities through supplemental feeding has become a common management practice. We aim at investigating deer browsing pressure on young Norway spruce in relation to distance from supplemental feeding sites. Because available forage is considered important in understanding browsing patterns, we modeled several factors affecting food availability, and their interaction effect with distance. We confirmed earlier studies about a locally high browsing pressure on natural vegetation adjacent to supplemental feeding sites where browsing pressure declined with distance and alternative forage abundance. Novel is that browsing on spruce occurred in 27.6% of the investigated plots. The browsing pressure of those plots averaged 9%. Distance was the most important factor in relation to browsing. The interactive effect of occurring field layer, and deciduous trees was also highlighted as these significantly affected the relationship between browsing pressure on spruce and distance. In the studied conditions, browsing pressure ceased at ca. 205 m, whereas in scenarios of an abundant field layer, browsing levels were negligible already at 0 m from supplemental feeding sites. We suspect that most of the browsing was caused by fallow deer in our study area.
