description: This thesis proposes a class of time-varying panel data models with interactive common factors to capture the nonlinearity in panel data. We first develop a novel recursive estimation algorithm for time-varying models with heterogeneity. Its unified ability in estimation is suitably illustrated according to flexible applications on both simulated and empirical studies. Another issue addressed in this thesis lies in time-varying panel data with semiparametric additive factor models. A profile marginal integration method is proposed to estimate unknown trending function, loadings, and factors jointly in a single step. The asymptotic distributions are established for the proposed estimators, including the factors and loadings.
DBClear - ein generisches, datenbankbasiertes System für Fachportale

description: Im Projekt DBClear (Datenbankbasierte Clearinghouses im Kontext Virtueller Fachbibliotheken) wurde am Informationszentrum Sozialwissenschaften (IZ) in Bonn in Zusammenarbeit mit der Niedersächsischen Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Göttingen ein Softwaresystem entwickelt, das dem Aufbau, dem Betrieb und der Pflege themenbezogener Sammlungen von Verweisen auf Internetquellen (Fachportale, Clearinghouses, Subject Gateways) dient. DBClear war motiviert durch die Beobachtung, dass Clearinghouses auch heute noch zu einem beträchtlichen Teil auf Technologien beruhen, die keinen nachhaltigen Betrieb garantieren und weder die verteilte Pflege noch die Nutzung der Inhalte in unterschiedlichen Kontexten ermöglichen. Bedingt durch das sich stetig verändernde Internet kann aber oftmals weder eine einzelne Person, noch eine einzelne Institution ein Fachgebiet umfassend abdecken und lückenlos und aktuell in einem Clearinghouse nachweisen. Es wird daher ein System benötigt, das die Verteilung der anfallenden Arbeiten auf mehrere Schultern und damit den Aufbau verteilter, kooperativer Strukturen ermöglicht und dabei die unterschiedlichen personellen Ressourcen, fachlichen Schwerpunkte und das institutionelle Umfeld der Partner berücksichtigt. Das Projektergebnis ist ein plattformunabhängiges Softwaresystem, das an beliebige Datenmodelle zur formalen und inhaltlichen Beschreibung von Internetquellen (Metadaten) angepasst werden kann. Die Metadaten können beliebig strukturiert und in mehreren Sprachen parallel erfasst werden; ihre Speicherung erfolgt in einem relationalen Datenbanksystem. DBClear unterstützt die räumlich und zeitlich verteilte Pflege der Inhalte - und damit die Kooperation mehrerer Personen und Institutionen - durch eine Workflow- und Automatisierungskomponente. Sie unterstützt neben der Suche neuer auch die Überwachung von bereits katalogisierten Internetquellen und ermöglicht die automatische Einspeisung von Vorgängen in die Arbeitsprozesse der einzelnen Mitarbeiter, wobei z.B. automatisch extrahierte Eigenschaften der Internetquellen für die Zuordnung von Vorgängen zu Personen genutzt werden können. Die Einbindung der Inhalte des Clearinghouse in Internetangebote erfolgt über eine Präsentationskomponente, die eine variable Darstellung der gleichen Inhalte in unterschiedlichen Kontexten erlaubt (z.B. im Rahmen einer Virtuellen Fachbibliothek oder dem Angebot eines Instituts). Eine Z39.50 Schnittstelle ermöglicht daneben den direkten lesenden Zugriff auf die Inhalte und damit die Einbindung in verteilte Informationsangebote. In der anderen Richtung können durch spezifische Java-Module Daten aus externen Systemen (z.B. Literaturdatenbanken) direkt in DBClear eingebunden werden.
The political role of the corporation, stakeholder engagement, and law: A study of mining-Indigenous relations in Australia

description: This thesis presents a qualitative, exploratory study of mining-Indigenous relations in Australia. It contributes to knowledge through a novel investigation of the political role of the corporation that brings socio-legal studies into debates on business-society relations. I employed a multi-case study research design, and immersed myself in two Rio Tinto mining operations that come under contrasting land rights laws. I show how the political role of the corporation comprises co-evolving consensual and dissensual stakeholder engagement that mutually shape each other’s development. I then conclude that law shapes and is shaped by stakeholder engagement and, thus, is generative of mining-Indigenous relations.

description: This thesis has explored how different groups of state and non-state actors have interpreted land tenure ideas, particularly from the socialist period of 1986 to the present time. It has involved investigation of four questions. First, what are the epistemic communities involved in the interpretation of agricultural land tenure regulation? Secondly, what are the different core ideas that have influenced the interpretation of land tenure rights by actors in different epistemic communities? Thirdly, to what extent have the actors in different epistemic communities shifted the way they have interpreted agricultural land tenure rights following different periods of interactions? Lastly, and the subject of this Chapter, what is the likely trajectory of agricultural land tenure reform based on interaction regarding epistemic ideas between different epistemic communities?

description: Weblogs sind Webseiten, die chronologisch sortiert, meist täglich aktualisiert werden, eine hohe Linkdichte haben und oft über eine Kommentarfunktion verfügen. Anders als bei herkömmlichen Webseiten erfolgt das Publizieren über sehr einfach zu bedienende Eingabemasken direkt im Webbrowser, es ist nicht schwieriger, als z. B. eine E-Mail zu schreiben. Die zu vermittelnde Information steht sofort im Netz. Weblogs sind eine perfekte Möglichkeit sich über Neuigkeiten zu informieren. Lange bevor die Informationen in Fachzeitschriften oder auch auf einer Mailingliste zu finden sind, findet man sie meist schon in Weblogs. Da Weblog-AutorInnen auch immer thematisch interessierende Weblogs lesen, sind sie fast automatisch auf dem letzten Stand der Technik. Netbib (das einzige kooperative bibliothekarische Weblog in Deutschland http://log.netbib.de) z. B. berichtete in den letzten zwei Jahren sehr viel über das Thema online-reference per Chat. Wer sich dafür interessierte, wurde über die Auswahl, den Einsatz und die Implementierung auf dem Laufenden gehalten. In den USA steigt die Zahl der bibliothekarischen Weblogs in den letzten 2-3 Jahren stetig an. Immer mehr KollegInnen erkennen dort, das durch diese Technik sowohl KundInnen von Bibliotheken als auch KollegInnen sehr schnell informiert werden können. Es gibt inzwischen Weblogs für so ziemlich alle Arbeitsgänge (Auskunft, Katalogisierung, Archivierung, Zeitschriftenbearbeitung, Leihverkehr, Jugendbibliothekare...), die in Bibliotheken anfallen. Der Vortrag gibt eine kurze Einführung in das Thema.
Elucidating the Endogenous Distribution, Topography, and Cells-of-Origin of a-synuclein in Relation to Parkinson’s Disease

description: Parkinson’s Disease (PD), the second most common neurodegenerative disease worldwide, pathologically presents with the inclusion of Lewy bodies and dopaminergic cell loss in the brain. Lewy bodies are composed of aggregated a-synuclein protein, and although essential to our understanding of PD, not much is known about the native, pre-synaptic state of a-synuclein (a-syn). Due to its mostly synaptic local, immunostaining results in diffuse signal, ultimately providing little insight into the types of a-syn-resident cells. As a result, insight into a-syn expression driven cellular vulnerability has been difficult to ascertain. Using a knockin mouse model that localizes a-syn to the nucleus of cells by insertion of a nuclear localization signal into the a-syn gene locus (SncaNLS), we overcome visualization issues and map out the topography and cells-of-origin of a-syn in mice. I performed immunohistochemistry on SncaNLS mouse tissue to map out the endogenous distribution of a-synuclein in the brain. Using ilastik machine learning analysis, I determined regions with high a-syn expression, which were subsequently co- stained with cell-type specific markers to gain further topographical granularity. a-syn showed high expression in the olfactory bulb, hippocampus, cerebral cortex, substantia nigra and cerebellum. Within these structures, there was a high level of expression of a-syn in granule cells, pyramidal cells, mitral cells, and dopaminergic neurons. Taken together, the SncaNLS mouse serves as a tool to define an atlas of a-syn topography, potentially providing insight into cellular vulnerability in PD.

description: Um die Kompression in der Videocodierung zu verbessern, führen wir eine explizite Referenzbildentrauschung in die Codierschleife eines Videocodecs ein. Motiviert durch den Gedanken, dass die Leistung des Prädiktionsfehlers höher sein kann, falls Rauschen in dem zu codierenden Video vorhanden ist, wird die Bewegungskompensation durch die eingeführten Module verbessert. Es wird gezeigt wie man einen solchen Ansatz für die Codierung bei sehr kleinen Einstellungen des Quantisierungsparameters aber auch bei sehr groben Quantisierungseinstellungen verwenden kann. Die entwickelten Algorithmen wurden in der Referenzsoftware des aktuellen HEVC-Standards getestet. Die Simulationsergebnisse zeigen, dass mit der vorgeschlagenen Vorgehensweise maximale Bitratenersparnisse von bis zu 10 % für niedrige als auch hohe Quantisierungsparametereinstellungen erreicht werden können. Im Durchschnitt wurden Bitratenersparnisse von 7 % für hohe Qualität und 5 % für niedrige Qualität bei Codierung der ClassB-Sequenzen erreicht.

description: Accessing the network through which a propagation dynamics diffuse is essential for understanding and controlling it. In a few cases, such information is available through direct experiments or thanks to the very nature of propagation data. In a majority of cases however, available information about the network is indirect and comes from partial observations of the dynamics, rendering the network reconstruction a fundamental inverse problem. Here we show that it is possible to reconstruct the whole structure of an interaction network and to simultaneously infer the complete time course of activation spreading, relying just on single epoch (i.e. snapshot) or time-scattered observations of a small number of activity cascades. The method that we present is built on a Belief Propagation approximation, that has shown impressive accuracy in a wide variety of relevant cases, and is able to infer interactions in presence of incomplete time-series data by providing a detailed modeling of the posterior distribution of trajectories conditioned to the observations. Furthermore, we show by experiments that the information content of full cascades is relatively smaller than that of sparse observations or single snapshots.

Numerical Simulation of the Cutting of a Rising Bubble by a Horizontal Cylinder = Numerische Simulation von Zerteilung einer steigenden Blase durch einen Horizontalen Zylinder
Creators: name: Wang, Shuo
Publisher: name: Karlsruher Institut für Technologie (KIT)
Year: 2019

description: The study is devoted to the numerical simulation of bubble interaction with horizontal cylinder. The phase field method is used. It is firstly validated for free bubble rising in a planar domain. The numerical result is consistent with benchmark from literature. The numerical method is applied to the study of bubble behavior of cutting by solid cylinder under different conditions. Planar simulation is performed to investigate the influence of different bubble diameter (4.57 mm-7.8 mm) and contact angle (60°-120°). The results are in qualitative consistence with experiment. 3D simulations are made for further quantitative investigation. To reduce the calculation cost, adaptive refinement is discussed and applied in the discretization of the domain. 3D simulation shows the deformation by the cutting comprehensively and confirms the conclusion of the previous experiment investigation that the cylinder is completely wetted by the cutting. At last, the behavior of the satellite bubble under different conditions is studied. However, the mesh resolution is turns out to to be not enough for a precise description of this phenomena.

description: As international migration becomes more common, the societies of many countries are becoming increasingly heterogeneous. Consequently, governmental economic and social responses to the demographic change is gaining more attention as these policies have both direct and indirect consequences on the socioeconomic outcomes of all groups. This dissertation is a collection of three empirical studies that examine how governmental policies that differentially target different ethnic groups influence individuals’ decisions and outcomes related to human capital formation. Specifically, the three studies centres on how ethnic-language-based educational policies in Malaysia have affected the schooling decisions and academic achievement of the different ethnic groups.

description: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is ranked the second leading cause of death in Canada, with 53,704 heart disease-related deaths documented in 2020 alone. After a patient sustains cardiac injury, such as a myocardial infarction (MI), the heart is often unable to undergo sufficient self-recovery for healthy cardiac regeneration and repair; this is largely attributed to fibrotic tissue development at the injury site and subsequent pathological ventricular remodeling. The prevalence of MI events has created a considerable demand to develop novel strategies for effective and safe post-MI therapies. Research has indicated that post-MI modifications interfere with endogenous cardiac repair mechanisms, resulting in a pathological state. After an infarction, there is an accumulation of methylglyoxal (MG) at the site of injury. It has been suggested that MG contributes to ventricular fibrotic development, however its underlying mechanism remains unclear. Additionally, the effects that the post-MI cardiac environment, specifically MG accumulation, has on post-MI therapies and biomaterials has not been sufficiently established. Accordingly, the primary focus of this research project is to elucidate the effects of MG on the collagen-rich extracellular matrix (ECM) of the heart and key cardiac cells involved in the repair process. Further, the interaction between MG and a promising collagen-based hydrogel therapy is investigated, exploring the effects of MG on the hydrogel’s degradative process. It was found that the MG modification of hydrogels did not alter the degradation rate. Additionally, the degradation products of hydrogels, and MG-modified substrates did not affect the properties and formation of myofibroblasts.
On The Existence of a Holographic Description of the LHC Quark-Gluon Plasmas

description: Peripheral collisions of heavy ions can give rise to extremely intense magnetic fields. It has been suggested that these fields might invalidate the holographic description of the corresponding quark-gluon plasmas, assuming that these can be modelled by strongly coupled field theories. In the case of the plasmas produced in collisions at the RHIC facility (including in the beam energy scans), it is known how to deal with this problem: one has to take into account the large angular momenta generated in these plasmas, and the effects of the baryonic chemical potential. But this does not work for the plasmas produced in peripheral collisions at the LHC. However, these results neglect some (less significant) aspects of bulk physics; could it be that the problem is resolved by taking into account these lower-order effects? Here we use a bulk dilatonic field (fully compatible with boundary data, as well as with the asymptotically AdS character of the bulk geometry) as a model of these effects, and show that this is unlikely to be the solution. Thus, the existence of a consistent holographic description of the most extreme LHC plasmas remains open to question.

description: Grain flows through pipes are frequently found in various settings, such as in pharmaceutical, chemical, petroleum, mining and food industries. In the case of size-constrained gravitational flows, density waves consisting of alternating high- and low-compactness regions may appear. This study investigates experimentally the dynamics of density waves that appear in gravitational flows of fine grains through vertical and slightly inclined pipes. The experimental device consisted of a transparent glass pipe through which different populations of glass spheres flowed driven by gravity. Our experiments were performed under controlled ambient temperature and relative humidity, and the granular flow was filmed with a high-speed camera. Experimental results concerning the length scales and celerities of density waves are presented, together with a one-dimensional model and a linear stability analysis. The analysis exhibits the presence of a long-wavelength instability, with the most unstable mode and a cut-off wavenumber whose values are in agreement with the experimental results.

description: In Austria, traditional carp pond farming uses natural food (zooplankton and benthic organisms) and supplemental feed for the production of common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.). The natural food provides the fish essential fatty acids and proteins (Dabrowski & Rusiecki 1983; Tocher 2003; Steffens 2011) and supplemental feed is given to accelerate growth. Most commonly used supplemental feed in Austria are grains or members of the legume family. They provide the carp carbohydrates, which increase the fat content in the meat (Kainz 1984, Pfeifer and Füllner 2008, Ljubojević et al. 2017). Unfortunately, the traditional carp pond farming faces the prejudice that common carp is a fatty fish (Ljubojević et al. 2017, Klinkhardt 2017). To terminate with this prejudice the first measurements of Austrian carp fat content have been conducted in 2006 by the Federal Agency for Water Management, Ecological Station Waldviertel, which also offers interested fish farmers the service of measuring the fat content of carp.
Innovative Downhole Tools for Cause Study and Main tenance in Deep Geothermal Energy

description: The potential of geothermal energy is undoubted. While shallow geothermal energy can be used
with minimal risk but with small energy production, deep geothermal energy has still some
barriers to overcome. Among high drilling costs, production rates below the expected range make
it hard to compete for deep geothermal energy with other energy sources. Additionally, the risks
of induced seismic events or uncontrolled water leaks leading to ground lifting obstruct the
acceptance and promotion of this technology.
With a long history in developing remote-handling tools e.g. for inspection and maintenance of
pipes and sewers, the Institute for Applied Computer Science (IAI) started in 2010 with the work
on specialized tools for deep geothermal boreholes. The overall target of this project is to provide
suitable tools for studying geothermal boreholes, especially with regard to faults and their effects
on efficiency and safety of geothermal projects as well as maintenance to recover geothermal
boreholes showing respective defects. Since the constraints downhole are challenging, the technical
solutions require a high grade of innovation and specialization and are therefore expensive.
In order to realize solutions with high quality embodied in affordable tools, a system platform
approach is pursued. This approach allows reusing and advancement of basic tool components
for a wide range of different applications.
When discovering new spaces, it is a human and scientific desire to get visual impressions from
the unknown environment. Therefore, following the example of pictures from the Mars, the first
functional example of the system platform for downhole tools, is a video inspection system called
GeoKam. Besides the obvious wish for a literal insight in deep geothermal boreholes, the video
application provides several advantages. Since it is a complex operation to record, process and
transfer live-videos from deep geothermal boreholes, the device shows the performance of the
system platform regarding the main challenges of downhole operation: high temperatures, high
pressures, small spaces and long distance tool handling and data transfer via wirelines. Beyond
that, a live downhole video stream is a necessary precondition for maintenance operations as
leakage repair.

description: This ethnographic study explores the relationships between humans and animals who work together. Specifically, it focuses on multispecies organisational dynamics in beekeeping, Thoroughbred racing, animal assisted interventions, and animal assisted therapy. Understanding these multispecies relationships through a theoretical perspective informed by new materialisms, concerned with social and material entanglements of human and nonhuman species, provides the opportunity to consider how animals impact on our emotional, political and ethical connections with work. In light of its findings, this thesis introduces the concept of more-than-human organising, highlighting how organisational life emerges through more-than-human dynamics that often defy human perception, articulation, and control.

description: The purpose of this thesis is three-fold. Firstly, to investigate the pricing implications of asymmetric illiquidity for corporate bonds. Secondly, to explore a demand-side explanation for commonality in corporate bond liquidity. Thirdly, to examine the effect of corporate bond liquidity on earnings management. In particular, this thesis first examines the asset-pricing implications of buy- and sell- order illiquidity in cross-sectional bond yield spreads. Furthermore, this thesis studies the effect of institutional demand on commonality in liquidity. Finally, this thesis endeavors to provide empirical evidence of the real effect of bond illiquidity on corporate earnings management.

description: Echo-State Networks and Reservoir Computing have been studied for more than a decade. They provide a simpler yet powerful alternative to Recurrent Neural Networks, every internal weight is fixed and only the last linear layer is trained. They involve many multiplications by dense random matrices. Very large networks are difficult to obtain, as the complexity scales quadratically both in time and memory. Here, we present a novel optical implementation of Echo-State Networks using light-scattering media and a Digital Micromirror Device. As a proof of concept, binary networks have been successfully trained to predict the chaotic Mackey-Glass time series. This new method is fast, power efficient and easily scalable to very large networks.

description: Spin-based logic devices could operate at very high speed with very low energy consumption and hold significant promise for quantum information processing and metrology. Here, an in-house developed, experimentally verified, ensemble self-consistent Monte Carlo device simulator with a Bloch equation model using a spin-orbit interaction Hamiltonian accounting for Dresselhaus and Rashba couplings is developed and applied to a spin field effect transistor (spinFET) operating under externally applied voltages on a gate and a drain. In particular, we simulate electron spin transport in a \SI{25}{nm} gate length \chem{In_{0.7}Ga_{0.3}As} metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) with a CMOS compatible architecture. We observe non-uniform decay of the net magnetization between the source and gate and a magnetization recovery effect due to spin refocusing induced by a high electric field between the gate and drain. We demonstrate coherent control of the polarization vector of the drain current via the source-drain and gate voltages, and show that the magnetization of the drain current is strain-sensitive and can be increased twofold by strain induced into the channel.

description: This thesis explores the optimal trading strategies in different types of financial markets and its impact in shaping the investment decisions and patterns across the individuals and countries. The findings show that there are long term portfolio diversification possibilities among stock market, the short term possibilities, however, are extremely limited. In regards to the foreign exchange markets, 60% of the long run variations in the real price of gold attributes to the carry trade strategies. Moreover, the findings illustrate that neighbouring countries tend to hold the financial asset from the same destination country, and such spillover effect is stronger when both countries adopt pegged exchange rate regime. These have given researchers a better understanding of the market mechanism.

description: Makalah ini disusun berdasarkan fakta realitas dan empiris tersebut bahwa untuk mencegah penyebaran konten inmoderat dilakukan melalui pengetahuan dan pemahaman para conten creator profesional dan content personal dalam menyebarkan narasi di media sosial yang jauh dari narasi-narasi propaganda negatif. Secara sfesifik makalah ini menguraikan bagaimana menganalisis konten di media sosial dan bagaimana menyusun kontranarasi sebagai usaha untuk menekan penyebaran narasi inmoderat baik oleh conten creator profesional maupun conten creator personal. Lahirnya kebijakan pemerintah tentang pentingnya mengarus utamakan moderasi beragama, dikarenakan beragamnya beredar konten-konten khususnya di media sosial yang mengarah pada intoleransi, radikalisme keagamaan, dan atau pemaksaan paham keagamaan. Penyebaran konten dan narasi keagamaan yang intoleran, penistaan, tokoh, tokoh agama, dan bahkan penistaan agama dan kitab suci serta penistaan pada tempat-tempat suci umat beragama, akan sangat besar berpontensi mengancam harmonisasi kehidupan beragama.

description: Ausgehend vom Prinzip der freien Energie sowie der aktiven Inferenz beschreibt dieser Beitrag die Gesamtheit der zur räumlichen und bewegungsbezogenen Eigenwahrnehmung sowie zu willkürlichen Bewegungen beitragenden, interagierenden Partialmechanismen als ein dynamisches komplexes funktionelles System. Dieses System befindet sich in einem fortlaufenden Prozess der Selbsterhaltung sowie -bestätigung, der zu einem dynamischen Gleichgewichtszustand führt. Ziel des umschriebenen Systems ist es, ein Modell für die Bewegungsregulation unter Führung multimodaler sensorischer Zuflüsse zu generieren, über welches der Organismus in eine dynamische Wahrnehmungs-Handlungs-Interaktion mit der Umwelt tritt. Funktionsstörungen der räumlichen und bewegungsbezogenen Eigenwahrnehmung sowie der Wahrnehmung der relativen Umwelt können Funktionsstörungen des Bewegungssystem bedingen und auf Verarbeitungs- und Wahrnehmungsstörungen der Sinnessysteme beruhen. Entsprechend liefert das Prinzip der freien Energie und die einhergehende Denkweise Impulse zur Reflexion und Weiterentwicklung von bestehenden manualmedizinischen Praktiken, aber auch zur Innovation.
Factors influencing agency workers' intent to stay: An interdisciplinary study of contract companies in the information technology outsourcing industry in China
Creators: name: XIWEI ZHANG
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: 150305 Human Resources Management
subject: FOS: Economics and business

description: The study adopts a qualitative multiple-case study approach to explore factors influencing university-educated IT agency workers’ intent to stay in contract companies in the Chinese information technology outsourcing industry. This study identifies the dynamic interactions between various contextual factors in shaping the nature of agency employment. It reveals the power asymmetry between client firms and Chinese suppliers, and the role of such power asymmetry in engendering the transactional client-supplier relationships. Through the social exchange lens, the study confirms that transactional relationships lead to contract companies’ cost-based HRM practices and task-oriented organisational climate, which have a weakening effect on agency workers’ intent to stay.
Essential legal conditions for cross-border single window operability: Modelling Australian laws

Subjects: subject: 150308 International Business
subject: FOS: Economics and business

description: Countries are implementing single window (‘SW’) systems as an efficient means for traders to submit regulatory clearances to government authorities when they export and import goods. The next logical step is to internationalize these systems. Yet, SW operability must build from robust national legal conditions that foster trust among various users of the system. Inadequate and inconsistent national legal conditions pose barriers to establishing cross-border SW interoperability. The thesis investigates how – through the provision of what legal conditions – an enabling SW legal framework can be created. It also makes some useful suggestions regarding the international law-making mechanisms needed to harmonize this model of an enabling legal framework between countries.

description: This study employs a mixed method approach to explore the determinants of enterprise risk management (ERM) implementation in China. First, the findings provides a theory-driven and evidence-based perspective as to what factors are deemed to be critical in ERM implementation. Second, this study provides a comprehensive understanding of the effect of organizational capabilities on ERM implementation through investigating the relationships between organizational ambidexterity, organizational resilience and ERM. In addition, the findings in this thesis provides strong managerial implications for enterprises and ERM policymakers to better develop their ERM framework or program.
No place like home? Behind the internationalization of emerging market enterprises

description: This study examines the impact of home country to the internationalization of emerging market firms. By incorporating the concept of institutional work with traditional resource- and institution-based views of multinational enterprise (MNE) operations, this study finds that the state involvement via policymaking in the global expansion of firms is not only a top-down, but also a bottom-up process.

description: Hashtags play nowadays an important role in the current social media world. They are usually deemed to represent topics of e.g. tweets. As the number of hashtags is growing, an overview of the information flow requires some method of grouping these hashtags. The grouping requires a similarity measure. In this paper we propose a novel measure of similarity between hashtags based on the Graph Spectral Analysis.

description: Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) experience a variety of symptoms sometimes including atypicalities in language use. The study explored differences in semantic network organisation of adults with ASD without intellectual impairment. We assessed clusters and switches in verbal fluency tasks (‘animals’, ‘human feature’, ‘verbs’, ‘r-words’) via curve fitting in combination with corpus-driven analysis of semantic relatedness and evaluated socio-emotional and motor action related content. Compared to participants without ASD (n = 39), participants with ASD (n = 32) tended to produce smaller clusters, longer switches, and fewer words in semantic conditions (no p values survived Bonferroni-correction), whereas relatedness and content were similar. In ASD, semantic networks underlying cluster formation appeared comparably small without affecting strength of associations or content.
