Three essays on globalization and innovation
Creators: name: Choo, Daewoong
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2013

description: Globalization is a key variable associated with technological change. This dissertation examines not only the correlation between globalization and innovation, but also the interacting effect of globalization with firm-specific variables on innovation and performance.     Essay 1: Why Do Some Countries Hardly Innovate? Evidence from Zero Inflated Negative Binomial Model   The patent data from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) indicate that among 1&5 countries, between 19&& and 2010, about 45% hardly generated any innovations. We argue that this group of countries is systematically different from the others who have been innovative, and that non-innovative countries need to possess a minimum level of ability and incentive in order to progress. By employing a zero-inflated negative binomial model based on the patent data from the USPTO, the results show that the significant determinants turning a non-innovative country into an innovative one are active international trade, improved quality of civil liberties, a high level of human capital, and less economic reliance on natural resources.   Essay 2: Two Different Effects of R & D on Innovation in South Korea: Evidence from The Firm Level Data  At the firm level, innovation can be made through two different effects of research and development (R & D), which are the creative effect and the learning effect. It should be noted that export activities can offer an important source of learning—as important as foreign direct investment (FDI)—and may be exceptionally meaningful for firms in countries with export-oriented economies. Using longitudinal firm-level data for the period of 2000–2009 in South Korea, empirical tests show that the creative effect of R & D is far more important than the learning effects through export and FDI in generating innovation.  Essay 3: The Dynamic Relationship between Female Employment and Firm Profitability: A Three-Stage Sigmoid Curve Model and the Influence of Export  Female workers are sources of competitive and intangible assets that can enhance a firm’s profitability. I present arguments that the correlation between gender diversity and organizational performance needs to be investigated in terms of more complex corporate circumstances. Empirical analyses of longitudinal firm-level data from South Korea for 2000–2009 show that a firm's female workers are more positively related to a firm's profitability when the firm actively exports. In addition, the results demonstrate a sigmoid curve relationship between female workers and profitability.

Managers' influence tactics and innovation implementation effectiveness
Creators: name: Chiu, Hao-Hsuan
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2013

description: Innovations are expected to bring many benefits to organizations. However, unless an innovation is implemented successfully, its intended benefits will not be realized. Successful implementation requires users’ acceptance and use of the innovation adopted by the organization. Managers have been proven to be a critical factor affecting innovation implementation success; however, how managers could influence innovation implementation effectiveness has not been probed adequately in the innovation literature.   This study examined the effect of influence strategies used by managers on innovation implementation effectiveness and further explored the role of innovation attributes and users’ characteristics in the influence process. Therefore, this study tried to investigate three research questions: (1) how do different influence strategies used by managers impact innovation implementation effectiveness; (2) how do users’ perceived innovation attributes affect the effectiveness of managers’ influence strategies; and (3) what is the impact of users’ characteristics on the effectiveness of influence strategies?   Three hundred and one employees from two Taiwanese companies that adopted knowledge management systems (KMS) participated in this study. The results showed that the managers’ persuasive strategy was positively related to both users’ attitude toward using KMS and their actual usage, while the relationship-based strategy was negatively related to both users’ attitude and their usage. Managers’ use of the assertive strategy only resulted in users’ negative attitude toward using KMS, but had no effect on the actual usage. Both relative advantage and complexity mediated the relationship between influence strategies and innovation implementation effectiveness. Users’ intrinsic motivation resulted in users’ positive attitude, but had an effect on users’ usage. Users’ extrinsic motivation had no effects in prediction either users’ attitude or usage. Users’ power distance orientation had no effect on either users’ attitude or users’ usage, but positively moderated the relationship between influence strategies and users’ usage.
A career retrospective of Eddie Sauter, jazz’s overlooked composer and innovator
Creators: name: Chilowicz, Alex
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2013

description: With a career that spanned nearly four decades during the height of jazz’s popularity, Eddie Sauter contributed arrangements and compositions to some of the most significant jazz groups in the music’s history. Through his unique style, his constant desire to expand upon his compositional prowess through studies with various classical composers, and his general willingness to experiment with unusual melodic and harmonic gestures, Sauter produced music vastly different from that of most of his contemporaries. It is for this reason that the pensive composer was deemed “twenty years ahead of his time” by several critics of the day. As the chief architect for much of Red Norvo’s songbook in the 1930s, dozens of arrangements and compositions for Benny Goodman in the early 1940s, creative originals for Ray McKinley in the late 1940s, a unique repertoire with co- conspirator Bill Finegan in their jointly led “expanded” big band of the 1950s, and a handful of gems for Stan Getz with orchestral accompaniment in the 1960s, “prolific” barely begins to describe the output of Eddie Sauter. This thesis examines the life of the obscure yet influential composer/arranger Eddie Sauter from his curious beginning in 1914 as the adopted son of a German florist in Nyack, NY, through his forty year career spent among some of jazz’s most important individuals, until his untimely death at the age of 66 in 1981.

"The Federalist" and the classical foundations of the American Republic
Creators: name: Broschart, Christopher
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2013

description: This paper examines the classical themes and ancient historical examples presented through the Federalist Papers of Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay. The Federalist Papers represent a lucid sample of early American political theory, and the ideologies of three prominent founders. The study focuses on the Greco-Roman states within those essays that were deemed analogous or relevant to the American Confederacy under the Articles of Confederation, or were used to promote a new federal union under the Constitution. This paper also analyzes the formation of mixed governance constitutions, a vital construction for the creation of modern nations, as the idea progressed through the classical writers Plato, Aristotle, Polybius, and Cicero. Through this analysis, the influences of the Greek and Roman classics are shown to be a formative element in the formation of the American Republic. By reestablishing and reasserting the Classics into the political ideology of that time, insight into the creation of a new Constitution through the combined insight of the Federalist becomes readily apparent. The first section presents an introduction to the Federalist, and the ratification debates of 1&8&-88. Section two covers the classical influences to American history. The third section is a brief overview of five current works relating to this scholarship. Section four comprises the analysis of the five sections of the Federalist Papers as outlined by Alexander Hamilton. The final section of this paper investigates the writings of Plato, Aristotle, Polybius and Cicero to discover the evolution and creation of theories of mixed constitutions.

description: Using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, the research examines the nature of the relationship between religion and juvenile delinquency. The research reveals that individual-level religiosity negatively relates to individual-level delinquency. The current study indicates that there is a significant correlation between religiosity and delinquency. The omnibus concept of religiosity was significantly related to delinquency along with the individual measures. This research provides support for the idea that religion is a multifaceted concept with many dimensions that should be examined as an index and separately. Also, while studies have varied in their estimation of the types of delinquent offenses that are reduced by religion (Baier and Wright 2001; Desmond, Soper, Purpura, and Smith 2009; Cochran Wood and Arneklev 1994; Rodell and Benda 1999), the current research maintains that religiosity affects a wide variety of delinquency including truant, property and violent offenses. In addition, the research indicates found that family bonds, friends and contextual variables do not diminish the inverse relationship between religiosity and delinquency. Finally, religiosity reduced delinquency in both Wave I and Wave II indicating that religiosity influences delinquent behavior over time.

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2013

description: The Introduction to Uri Caine and His Jewishly Influenced Music contains brief reviews of Mike Gerber's Jazz Jews and Jeffrey Melnick's A Right to Sing the Blues, and a definition of Jewishly influenced music. Part I is a detailed biography of Caine's life as described by Caine in interviews. Part II seeks to understand Caine's work through his roles as leader, composer, sideman, arranger, collaborator and keyboardist, and it looks at a few examples of his Jewishly influenced music. Caine has won the Down Beat Talent Deserving Wider Recognition award for the Jazz Artist and Electric Keyboardist categories, the International Composers' Hit award for Best Mahler CD and he was the first jazz artist to be named the artistic director of the musical segment of the Venice Biennial. Caine's early JMT and recent Winter & Winter recordings are discussed in the Leader section. Caine's breadth and compositional process is described in the Composer section. Caine's fellow musicians praise his humility and talent in the Sideman section. Caine blurs the line as an Arranger/Collaborator with his composing and interpreting prowess. Caine discusses his familiarity with the Korg organ, the Fender Rhodes and the piano while outlining his practice routines in the Keyboardist section. Finally, this Master's thesis presents an analysis of three of Caine's Mahler-inspired works, and it shows how those pieces are Jewishly influenced.  Caine, born and raised in Philadelphia, is known as a jazz pianist who played with the great Bootsie Barnes, Hank Mobley, Philly Joe Jones and others. But Caine's desire to push the musical envelope has led him to work with John Zorn, the Radical Jewish Culture series (on the Tzadik label), the Downtown music scene in New York, the more commercially successful Grover Washington Jr. and a plethora of classical musicians. Caine has reworked, arranged, composed in the style of and/or interpreted Mahler, Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, Schumann and Schoenberg. Uri Caine is an extraordinary musician who cannot be defined in one box, one pigeon hole, one genre or one style. Uri Caine is a creative and prolific leader, composer, sideman, arranger, collaborator and keyboardist.

description: “When the Cup of Endurance Runs Over: Defining Northern, Migrant Public Identity for the American Negro”  By Itéa C. Bell  Dissertation Director: Dr. Mark Krasovic    Scholarship on the Great Migration has largely examined the event as a collective movement of one people, pushed or pulled by a number of interdependent factors. Few have studied the migrant himself, and even fewer have documented the shift in his public identity as he became a permanent member of Northern cities. For this reason, the objective of this research is to use twenty-five objects to track and define the way Northern Black migrants used and manipulated forces to in order to create their public identity over time of the in the United States during twentieth century. This work identifies the following points as critical to the migrant’s development as a Northerner over time: the end of his life as a sharecropper; the migrant in transit and his arrival as a new implant to a Northern, urban space; and his permanent settlement in Northern cities. An analysis of architecture, political cartoons, possessions, and the outward appearance of the Negro migrant were used as primary material culture resources in order to demonstrate the essential components of his identity. Through the examination of a variety of sites, the central identity components - internal drive and ambition; commitment to social and financial mobility; and to be skillfully innovative as a worker and inhabitant of a new environment – are linked to the development of key characteristics of the migrant’s identity at each of the three critical stages in time. This research determined that the identity of the Northern migrant was grounded in an ever-evolving hybrid of newly introduced Northern experiences and the deliberate retention of Southern qualities and traditions. Additionally, the fluidity of agency that Black migrants experienced at each stage of development led them to recognize the importance of wealth, influence, and upward mobility in order to display a positive public identity.

Évêque-poète au Ve et au Vie siècles: Jacques de Saroug, sa vie, son temps, ses oeuvres, ses croyances

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 1876

description: While previous scholars, such as Assemani and Abbeloos, had made some forays into studying the life and works of Jacob of Sarug, the French Syriac scholar Abbé Martin in this work, which was originally published as a lengthy article in the Revue des Sciences Ecclésiastiques, looks anew at this significant poet and his work, which indeed ranks at least near that of Ephrem. As the subtitle indicates, Martin considers Jacob’s life, works, the time in which he lived, and his beliefs; in addition, his lasting influence among various Syriac-speaking communities is examined. Writing at a time before much of Jacob’s work was published or translated, he gives large extracts in French translation of Jacob’s homilies and letters from manuscripts. Of particular interest is Martin’s discussion of Jacob’s poetic style, together with a comparison of his literary activity with that of Ephrem and Barhebraeus. Finally, a large part of the work deals with questions of Jacob’s beliefs and orthodoxy (from a Roman point of view, given Martin’s position). This study will be a source of interest for all students of Syriac literature.

description: The recent discovery of skyrmions in magnetic materials, originally predicted in the context of high energy physics, has sparked tremendous interest due to their unusual topologies and resulting physical properties. Magnetic skyrmions are excitations whose geometry is similar to vortices in fluids known as solitons, and often have nanometer lateral length scales. Controlling skyrmions in electrically insulating materials using electric fields, including their size, location, and chirality, could enable a new paradigm for ultra-low power and high density data storage, memory, and processing. Insulating materials that to date have been identified to sustain skyrmions are few and their response to electric fields too weak to make devices. We propose to study antiferromagnetic and weak ferrimagnetic thin films with two important requirements to sustain skyrmions, magnetic frustration and the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction, and which also have a magnetoelectric coupling that enables them to respond to electric fields. The goal is to understand the fundamental physics of these structures while assessing the feasibility of using these materials in data storage and processing devices. Multilayers composed of complex oxides and other compounds will be synthesized at UCSC, UCD and UCSD using molecular beam epitaxy, pulsed laser deposition, and sputtering. Nanoscale cylinders and other patterned geometries will also be studied to determine if the magnetic structure at edges and interfaces enables the formation of a skyrmion vortex lattice. The samples’ crystalline and interface structure will be thoroughly characterized using x-ray diffraction, electron microscopy, Kerr microscopy, scanning probe microscopy, and other techniques to understand the role of defects, strain, and other extrinsic factors. The magnetic response of the samples as a function of temperature, magnetic field, and electric field will be performed to look for evidence of skyrmions and to assess and characterize any possible coupling to electric fields. In order to unequivocally identify the existence of skyrmions, the magnetic structure will be measured soft x-ray scattering at the Advanced Light Source at LBNL. In addition to soft x-ray scattering, x-ray microscopy can also be used for direct imaging. Graduate students will benefit from a holistic approach to research that involves several experimental and computational techniques, and outreach activities will target K-12 underrepresented student populations.

description:
Caenorhabditis elegans proliferates poorly in the presence of abundant Actinobacteria from its natural ecology, but it is unknown why. Here, we show how perturbed levels of hydrogen sulfide modulate the growth rate of both C. elegans and Actinobacteria. From a forward genetic selection, we find C. elegans mutants with faster growth on an Actinobacteria Microbacterium species and mutant alleles of conserved cystathionine gamma-lyase (cth-2/CTH) that improve growth rate. Conversely, null alleles of cth-2 cause developmental arrest of animals grown on Actinobacteria, but not on Proteobacteria, which can be rescued by exogenous H2S. We also find mutations in a leucine-rich-repeat gene that regulates cysteine and H2S production, lrr-2/LRRC58. We place lrr-2 in the animal sulfur metabolism pathway by demonstrating its role in post-translationally regulating levels of cysteine dioxygenase (cdo-1/CDO 1). Exogenously supplied H2S inhibits the growth of Actinobacteria but not Proteobacteria. Thus, we conclude that the C. elegans-Actinobacteria interaction is mediated by H2S.

Material examined. One specimen with collection number JDC-11965 [JDC], Baltic amber; adult, sex unknown. A complete beetle is included in a transparent, yellow amber piece with dimensions of 20× 17 mm and a maximum thickness of 5 mm, preserved without supplementary fixation. Syninclusions: absent.
Note. Body length of beetle JDC-11965 (including visible part of head) 4.9 mm. This specimen has 5-5-4 tarsal formula, protruding hemispherical eyes, and 11-segmented antennae with weakly developed 2-segmented club. Specimen JDC-11965 shares with the holotype of Z. auriborussiensis other external characters and is considered conspecific. The smaller body size (4.9 mm in contrast to 5.3 mm in the holotype) is interpreted as intraspecific variability.

description: The breast cells of pregnant women undergo dramatic changes in structure during the process of milk production, which must then be reversed as the child is weaned. This normal reshaping process requires the now unwanted milk-producing cells to undergo a process known as programmed cell death. The breast cells respond to hormonal signals by undergoing biochemical changes that cause the cells to effectively kill themselves. Normally developing breast tissue is controlled by a balance between growing cells and dying cells. When this process becomes abnormal, so that the cells no longer die as they should, then the remaining cells can grow out of control and become breast cancers.

 The mortality associated with breast cancer is highly correlated with its ability to spread from the original site in the breast to other areas of the body. An important observation has been made that the breast cancer cells most resistant to the process of cell death are also those that are most likely to effectively move into other tissues. Thus, there is a relationship between an abnormal resistance to cell death and increased spread of breast cancers. Up until now, the basis for this relationship has been unknown.

 We have discovered a protein present in breast cancers that can regulate both cell death and cell movement. Because of its regulatory activities in both of these areas, this protein, called PAK2, is a likely candidate to explain the connection that has been noted between resistance to cell death and the ability of breast cancers to invade the body. PAK2 normally becomes active during cell death responses we have studied in other systems. We will determine whether PAK2 is also an important mediator of breast cancer cell death responses. It is possible that PAK2 does not get activated normally to induce cell death in the cells that develop into breast cancers, and we will examine this possibility in our studies. We will investigate whether PAK2 can then regulate the ability of the death-resistant breast cancer cells to move from other body sites. Our studies will provide new insights into the problem of how breast cancers might be more effectively induced to die by chemotherapeutic drugs, and will also suggest mechanisms that might allow us to inhibit the spread of breast cancers.

Anecdota Syriaca: Unpublished Syriac materials. Volume 3
Creators: name: Land, J.P.N. (Jan Pieter Nicolaas)
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 1862

description: J. P. N. Land spent 185&-58 in London studying Syriac manuscripts. These four volumes are the result of that labor, and they remain an essential source for Syriac students interested in a variety of material. Volume 1 contains Land’s prolegomena, on his time in London and his activities there; in addition he offers a detailed treatment of Syriac paleography based on his work. This volume also has 28 plates from the manuscripts Land examined, and they provide a survey of Syriac scripts. Finally, a number of short historical texts are included, in Syriac and Latin, with notes. Volume 2 contains, in Syriac only, John of Ephesus’s Lives of the Eastern Saints and excerpts of his Ecclesiastical History, both of which are essential resources for sixth century church history. In volume 3, Land offers the Syriac text of Psuedo-Zacharias Rhetor’s Ecclesiastical History, and in volume 4, Paul the Persian’s Treatise on Logic and the Syriac Physiologus, a book on animals, both in Syriac and Latin with notes. The last volume also includes materials (and plates) on Christian Palestinian Aramaic. Each volume contains an introduction and a Latin table of contents.
