Exploring the role of the entrepreneur in retail SME internationalisation : an analysis of retail cases in North-Western Europe.
Creators: name: Christmann, Helen
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2020

description: While the international business literature increasingly sees SME internationalisation as the act of the entrepreneur, the retail management literature lacks insights into the role of the entrepreneur in retail SME internationalisation. Neither entrepreneurial characteristics nor actions are sufficiently understood. A critical research gap relates to entrepreneurial marketing and management of brand identity – a key resource enabling differentiation – as well as networking that helps overcoming resource and competence deficiencies. This thesis seeks to advance the retail management literature by putting the entrepreneur in the centre of attention. Recent debates on international entrepreneurship in combination with those on the dynamic capabilities-based view are integrated. In doing so, it is aimed for a focussed exploration of entrepreneurial characteristics and marketing- and networking-related dynamic capabilities, and how these underpin retail SME internationalisation. This thesis adopts an exploratory inductive research design, including 54 interviews with industry-experts and elite informants from nine North-Western European retail SMEs. It identifies international experiences, international entrepreneurial orientation and learning orientation as vital characteristics that inform internationalisation decision-making and problem-solving. Through specific marketing-related dynamic capabilities, the entrepreneur coherently re-creates and renews brand identity in international markets. In doing so, he/she stimulates differentiation and superior competitiveness. Identified entrepreneurial networking-related dynamic capabilities do not directly contribute to differentiation and competitiveness. Instead, they are found to promote marketing-related capabilities. Building upon these results, this study develops the first academic framework depicting retail SME internationalisation as a process driven by the entrepreneur. This study clarifies the role of the entrepreneur in retail SME internationalisation, moving beyond the retail management literature’s previous firm-level focus. It thus closes a critical research gap. The international business literature benefits from called-for empirical substantiation of the dynamic capabilities-based view. Practitioners learn how specific entrepreneurial characteristics and actions inform successful internationalisation, stimulating critical reflection of own practices.

pars Cyclophyllopsis cornutiformis Beauvais, 1986 in collection.
Epismilia? sp. 1 – Vasseur 2018: 192-193, fig. 3.36.
STUDIED SAMPLES. — Three specimens (MNHN.F. A32015) found among the Cyclophyllopsis cornutiformis paratypes arbitrarily numbered 1, 2 and 3 for the needs of this description (collections MNHN). GEOGRAPHIC AND STRATIGRAPHIC RANGES. — Pliensbachian of Jebel Bou Dahar (Morocco).
DESCRIPTION
Solitary, cylindro-conical corallum subcircular to elliptic (quite distorted) in outline. Radial elements are straight, free septa or costosepta made of septal spines projecting at the inner edge of septa, providing a spiky aspect characteristic of the genus. Lateral faces are smooth. No real columella observed but an elongated fossa that defines a bilateral symmetry. Septal projections may produce a deep parietal papillose columella. Endotheca not observed. No synapticulae. Wall probably parathecal or septothecal. An epitheca s.l. wraps the corallite.
Calicular diameter: 7 to 17 mm – Number of septa: approximately 70 to 132 – Septal density: 5 to 8 per 2 mm – trabecular density: 5 to 7 per 2 mm.
REMARK
Many species assigned to Epismilia fit with our specimens with regards to their number of septa and diameter. However many of them are not documented enough in terms of septal structure and ornamentation. This genus for which many species have been created obviously needs a revision. This is the reason why we have chosen the open nomenclature in the present case.

“Incubated entrepreneurs”: a study into the everyday experiences of business incubation through a micro-sociological lens
Creators: name: Lanham-New, William
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2020

description: Business incubation has grown in popularity over recent decades. Reviewing the incubation literature revealed that little attention had been paid to the experiences of the incubated entrepreneurs (the human dimension) themselves or to the social aspects (the social dimension) of the incubation process. This was identified as a significant gap in the literature, given the intense nature of the incubation experience for entrepreneurs and its potential implications for their business development. To explore this neglected ‘social dimension’ of incubation, the Thesis utilised a provisional theoretical framework derived from micro-sociology (Interaction Ritual Chain Theory, Impression Management and Framing) to capture the contextual, interpersonal and individual levels of incubator experience. This framework was operationalised through a qualitative/ethnographic investigation using semi-structured interviews, overt-observations and Participant-Led Photography within three business incubator sites which were part of a larger incubator organisation. The unit of analysis and focus of this research was the incubatee (the entrepreneur) within the incubator setting. As such 21 entrepreneurs were purposively sampled across these incubators. The resulting data analysis was informed partly by questions deriving from the theoretical framework and partly by an openness to emergent themes and issues generated inductively from the data. The findings revealed across all three incubator sites that organisational practices, especially around membership and spatial layout, created barriers to social interaction. Where intense energy forming interaction was observed among members, it tended to be in small working groups in co-located working spaces. Organisational practices to stimulate social engagement proved relatively ineffective. The research findings provide important insights into business incubation’s social aspect, thereby advancing the limited extant knowledge in this area and extending existing understandings about entrepreneurs’ everyday incubator lives. The value this research brings to existing knowledge and literature on entrepreneurship and incubation is that, for the first known time, the views of the participants (the incubated entrepreneurs 5 themselves), has been inductively captured as they journey the incubation process in a rich and meaningful way. Thus, the research contributes to theory by advancing and adapting detailed understanding of Collins’ (2004) model of Interaction Ritual Chain Theory (Collins, 2004). It also adds to methodological understanding of inductive approaches, particularly regarding the adoption of Participant-Led-Photography in entrepreneurship research. Its contribution to practice is to recognise for the first-time incubator social dynamics that can impact entrepreneurs, particularly within an incubator setting.
Anchorage of web-bonded CFRP retrofitting on RC joints with variable column and beam widths and with cross-beams present

description: One increasingly accepted solution for retrofitting a structurally deficient reinforced concrete (RC) joint so as to avoid brittle joint core failure following an earthquake is the shifting of potential plastic hinge location away from the joint. This can be achieved by retrofitting the joint with beam-flange- or beam-web-bonded fibre reinforced plastics (FRPs). Two difficulties with web-bonded FRP-retrofitting concerning their anchorages were investigated experimentally. The first arises when the column is wider than the beam hence hindering the proper bonding of the FRP sheet(s) to the concrete at the location of the abrupt change in width. Beam-column joints were built with this change in width, patched with grout transition slopes and retrofitted with web-bonded Carbon FRP (CFRP). Testing shows that the CFRP sheets were still prone to delamination. The second difficulty is the common occurrence of cross-beams branching out from the joint thereby negating the possibility of simple anchoring of the FRP at the column as mentioned above and requiring the anchorage of the FRP sheets by other means such as anchorage at the cross-beams. Two types of anchorages, one with CFRP wraps and the other with metal clamps, were investigated on specimens from previous tests after they have been repaired and CFRP-retrofitted. Anchorage by clamps was found to be superior to anchorage by wraps.
Econometric Analysis of Subjective Wellbeing Data
Creators: name: OPARINA, EKATERINA
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2020

description: This thesis contributes to the rapidly growing field of the economics of wellbeing. Economic research in this field overwhelmingly relies on well- being scores, that are self-reported and ordinal in nature. The focus of this thesis is the econometric analysis of subjective wellbeing data.
description: Chapter 1 looks at the comparison of ordinal scales between groups. Comparison of means, that is routinely performed in the happiness lit- erature, is only possible under strong assumptions that are rejected by data. Chapter 1 suggests using the median instead of the mean for the comparison, and shows how this can be easily implemented in empirical work.
description: Chapters 2 and 3 look at the effect of reporting behavior on the results of econometric analysis. Reported wellbeing scales can be influenced by external factors, that are not relevant for global wellbeing. Chapter 2 in- terprets these effects as measurement error and suggests a framework to explicitly account for them in models used in empirical work. Chapter 2 applies this framework to reaccess the relationship between wellbeing and its main drivers. Chapter 3 applies the same framework to look at the evolution of wellbeing over the lifespan.
description: Chapter 4 studies the evolution of female happiness in the US over the last decades. Average female happiness declined during this period, despite improvements of the position of women in multiple measurable outcomes, e.g. earnings and employment. The literature refers to this finding as The Paradox of Declining Female Happiness. Chapter 4 uses a novel machine learning technique to show that the decline can be ex- plained by changes in individual characteristics.

Using behavioural and immunological tools to study the seasonality of Culicoides biting midges in the UK.
Creators: name: Tugwell, Laura A.
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2020

description: Culicoides biting midges are biological vectors of arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) of international importance. The emergence of bluetongue virus (BTV) and Schmallenberg virus (SBV) in Europe has highlighted the vulnerability of the UK to incursions. Persistence of Culicoides-borne viruses through adverse conditions in the cold winter months (“overwintering”) contributes to their economic and welfare impact and is a major source of uncertainty in policy response. Understanding the role of temperature in adult Culicoides activity, particularly in colder months, will inform policy on the likely risk of transmission. Reducing exposure to Culicoides biting is an important factor in controlling the spread of Culicoides-borne viruses following an incursion and immunological responses to the Culicoides bite may provide a novel approach to measuring the exposure of susceptible hosts to Culicoides. This thesis investigates adult Culicoides seasonal activity and biting in the UK using both field and laboratory-based studies, focusing on the impact of winter. Culicoides activity, examined directly using ultraviolet-baited light-suction traps, was limited to days when maximum temperatures were >7°C in a field study. An experimental system that tested movement of adult Culicoides within a controlled environment further demonstrated the effect of temperature, with the minimum temperature for flight activity varying according to collection location, time of year of collection and species. Furthermore, immunoassays were developed to detect the presence of antibodies against Culicoides salivary proteins in host sera and to indirectly infer Culicoides blood-feeding activity. This work demonstrated that horses, cattle and sheep in the UK produce detectable levels of antibodies recognising Culicoides salivary protein antigens for the first time, as a result of natural biting exposure in the field environment. These findings have direct implications in future surveillance programs and policy decision making, particularly when defining vector-free periods of adult activity.
Die Qual der Wahl: Die Beteiligung der Linken an den Wahlen

description: War und ist die philippinische Linke — von den maoistischen Kommunisten und den ihnen verbundenen »Nationaldemokraten« (NDs oder Natdems) bis hin zu Sozialdemokraten und den unabhängigen Sozialisten (Socdems oder SDs) — seit den letzten hundert Jahren in der Lage, die traditionellen Politiker und Parteien bei Wahlen herauszufordern? Bislang — so Quimpo — war sie nicht besonders erfolgreich darin, die Dominanz der Trapos über das Parteien- und Wahlsystem der Nach-Marcos-Zeit aufzubrechen. Schuld daran ist nicht nur eine bei manchen seit langem gepflegte Aversion gegen Wahlpolitik, sondern vielmehr eine rein instrumentelle Sicht auf demokratische Prozesse und Institutionen, welche sich ein erheblicher Teil der Linken nach wie vor verschrieben hat. In den Parteilistenwahlen und dem verstärkten Engagement auf lokaler Ebene sieht Quimpo dagegen Möglichkeiten, die Demokratisierung der Philippinen voranzubringen.

Publisher: name: BioMed Central

description: In this study, purified peptides from shrimp waste hydrolysates (SWHs) were examined for their inhibitory effects against β–secretase. During consecutive purification using a Sephadex G–25 column chromatography and high performance liquid chromatography on a C18 column, a potent β–secretase inhibitory peptide Asp–Val–Leu–Phe–His (629 Da) was isolated and identified from SWH24 by Q–TOF MS/MS and the IC50 value was determined to be 92.70 μM. The β–secretase inhibition patterns of the purified peptides were found to be competitive. Among synthesized β–secretase inhibitory peptides, Leu–Phe–His had higher β–secretase inhibitory activity than the others. The result of this study suggests that the β–secretase inhibitory peptide derived from SWH24 could be potential candidates to develop nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals.

Thinking up, writing down:the artistic creativity, phenomenology and neurobiology of the creative writing process
Creators: name: Davidson, Claudia I.
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2020

description: What happens in a writer’s head before the writing begins and while the writing is taking place? What are the internal processes involved in the thinking up and writing down of imaginative fiction? Cognitive science offers explanations based on scientific observation and measurement that are imminently rational, logical and readily depicted in neatly ordered models. However, none adequately reflect the descriptions contained in writers’ accounts of their lived experience of the creative writing process. These experiential and phenomenological accounts depict a complex, multi-layered process, that is often chaotic, uncertain and unpredictable; the descriptions peppered with references to non-cognitive factors such as intuition, inspiration, felt sense, incubation and the imagination. The two approaches, positivist and phenomenological, express themselves in different languages and thus seldom speak to each other. This thesis seeks to address this gap by facilitating a bridge between them. It proposes a neurophenomenological model of the creative writing process that allows lived experience to sit comfortably alongside contemporary neurobiological research findings, so that each enriches and informs the other. The model, therefore, provides a clear, systemic account of the creative writing process that embraces both its cognitive and non-cognitive aspects within a single, coherent framework that combines third-hand objective research with first-hand subjective accounts of lived experience, thereby yielding deeper insights into, and fresh conceptualisations of, the creative writing process. It thus constitutes an original contribution to the discourse on Creative Writing as a field of study that also has the potential to impact the discourse in a range of related disciplines, such as the visual and performing arts, cognitive science, cognitive psychology, philosophy, phenomenology and neuroscience. The greatest impact of this contribution, however, lies in the scope it provides for cross-disciplinary conversations, particularly those that bridge the long-standing gap between the science and the arts.

Implementation of the Troika Programmes: A Comparative Analysis of the Greek and Irish Cases
Creators: name: YAZGAN, NUVE
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2021

description: This thesis examines the way in which structural adjustment programmes had been implemented in two bailout countries: Greece and Ireland. It asks why was there a divergence in implementing troika programmes in the Greek and Irish cases? By comparing different domestic settings and reform environments those countries have had, it aims to explain divergent reform delivery processes during the crisis and austerity. Drawing upon policy processes theories, this study attempts to shed light into the Greek and Irish experiences of reform. It aims to provide an integrated theoretical approach combining Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF) and Narrative Policy Framework (NPF). This dissertation follows a qualitative comparative case-study design, with an in-depth analysis of semi-structured elite interviews and complementary content analysis of the interest groups. The expectation was that divergent policy subsystems in Greece and Ireland had existed and had shaped their reform delivery processes differently in the two countries. This thesis argues that there had been different dominant belief systems in the two countries that policy coalitions had embraced. Whereas Greek policy narratives had been developed in anti-reform tones, Irish policy narratives had been more in line with the pro-reform perspective. In Greece, subsystem coalitions included actors with more rigid policy positions compare to Irish actors whereas in Ireland policy positions were more flexible and pragmatic. Policy actors have had different level of actorness and strengths within the coalitions in terms of pressuring for their policy choices. These help to illustrate divergent domestic settings in the two countries which were subjected to same conditionality from the troika institutions.

description: Background: Vancomycin may be inferior to β-lactams for the empiric treatment of methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) bacteremia. We compared empiric β-lactams to vancomycin to assess clinical outcomes in patients with MSSA bacteremia. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of adult inpatients with their first episode of MSSA bacteremia at two tertiary care hospitals in Vancouver, Canada, between 2007 and 2014. Exposure was either empiric β-lactam with or without vancomycin or vancomycin monotherapy. All patients received definitive treatment with cloxacillin or cefazolin. The primary outcome was 28-day mortality. Secondary outcomes were 90-day mortality, duration of bacteremia, and hospital length-of-stay. Outcomes were adjusted using multivariable logistic regression. Results: Of 669 patients identified, 255 met inclusion criteria (β-lactam = 131, vancomycin = 124). Overall 28-day mortality was 7.06 % (n = 18). There were more cases of infective endocarditis in the β-lactam than in the vancomycin group [24 (18.3 %) vs 12 (9.7 %), p = 0.05]. Adjusted mortality at 28 days was similar between the two groups (OR 0.85; 95 % CI 0.27–2.67). The duration of bacteremia was longer in the vancomycin group (97.1 vs 70.7 h, p = 0.007). Transition to cloxacillin or cefazolin occurred within a median of 68.3 h in the vancomycin group. Conclusions: Empiric β-lactams was associated with earlier clearance of bacteremia by a median of 1 day compared to vancomycin. Future prospective studies are needed to confirm our findings.

Probability of collision for a newly generated debris cloud
Creators: name: Algethamie, Reem Magboul Lahig
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2023

description: The growing amount of space debris, which mostly results from fragmentation events,
description: has increased the hazard of in-orbit collision with operational satellites. The high spatial
description: density of the debris cloud immediately after the fragmentation event increases the
description: collision risk. Moreover, the high orbital speed of the fragments, which could partially
description: or completely damage a satellite in case of collision, necessitates the development of
description: an effective method to quickly quantify the risk posed by a newly formed debris cloud
description: and estimate the impact probability. The filtering techniques which usually assess the
description: hazard of the fragmentation events by analysing the risk of each fragment individually
description: then filter out non-hazardous fragments could be time consuming. Furthermore, the
description: traditional approach – which represents the discrete population of the debris cloud by a
description: continuous debris density, then estimates the impact probability using a Poisson
description: distribution – is questionable for not accurately representing the population of the newly
description: formed debris cloud.

description:

description: Therefore, this work focuses on developing two novel approaches to quickly and
description: accurately assess the hazard of a newly formed debris cloud with a discrete population
description: all at once, then estimate the impact probability. This is enabled by first using the
description: astronomical measure MOID combined with the automatic domain splitting-based
description: differential algebra technique to quickly quantify the hazard of the population of the
description: debris cloud all at once, and an advanced Monte Carlo simulation combined with a
description: sequence of pre-filtering techniques to quickly and accurately estimate the impact
description: probability. Second, a tool is developed based on the boundary value problem, namely
description: the Lambert targeting problem (LTP), and a semi-analytical approach to quickly
description: quantify the risk of the population of the newly formed debris cloud and accurately
description: estimate the impact probability. The developed approaches are validated against Monte
description: Carlo simulation, and they are found to be much faster and accurate enough in terms of
description: assessing the collision risk. However, in terms of the computation time, the
description: performance of the developed tool based on LTP outperformed the stochastic approach.
description: This is due to the application of novel analytical and semi-analytical improvements in

A study exploring the experience of attending a singing group for people living with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Creators: name: LANE, INEZ
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2021

description: Background: An estimated 1.2 million people live in the UK with COPD. Pulmonary Rehabilitation (PR) has been identified as a beneficial group intervention for patients with COPD. There is a growing interest in alternative group interventions to add to the support provided by PR, including singing groups. The research into singing groups for patients with COPD suggests the patients find the group enjoyable and report it to be beneficial with regards to improving their COPD. However, quantitative objective measures do not support these findings and further research is needed to understand the difference between the qualitative and quantitative findings.
description: Aim: To understand the experiences of participants with COPD attending a singing group.
description: Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with five participants who have been diagnosed with COPD, recruited from a singing group designed to support them with breathlessness. An Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) was conducted on the data gathered from these interviews.
description: Results: This study identified five themes: blame and the restrictive impact of COPD, changes in self-efficacy and a sense of control over COPD, positive social connections within the group, positive emotional and cognitive changes during and after the group and the value of breathing techniques.
description: Conclusion: The participants reported stigma over their condition before the group and that COPD has a restrictive impact on their lives. Following attending the singing group, the participants experienced a change in their attitudes towards their condition, feeling a greater sense of confidence and control over their condition. The participants felt the factors involved in this change were the social connections both with their peers and the group leader, the positive emotional changes during and following the group and the impact of the breathing techniques they are taught. This study also provides suggestions for future research and a discussion of the clinical implications

Iodine status during pregnancy: a series of studies investigating the determinants, assessment methods and effects of maternal iodine deficiency
Creators: name: Dineva, Mariana
Publisher: name: University of Surrey

description: Adequate iodine intake during pregnancy is essential to maintain optimal maternal thyroid function which is crucial for fetal neurodevelopment. Though, globally, iodine deficiency is considered to be the single, most important, preventable cause of brain damage, many pregnant women are still iodine-deficient. The research work presented in this thesis aimed to investigate several aspects of maternal iodine nutrition, including: (i) the determinants of iodine status in pregnancy; ii) the effect of advancing gestation on urinary-iodine concentration which is the most commonly-used biomarker of population iodine-status; iii) the usefulness of serum thyroglobulin as a functional biomarker of longer-term iodine nutrition in pregnancy; iv) the effect of maternal iodine deficiency in pregnancy, as measured in multiple spot-urine samples, on child cognition; v) the effect of iodine supplementation of mildly-to-moderately iodine-deficient pregnant women on thyroid function and child cognition. In the first study, data from three European birth-cohorts were used. Milk and dairy products were found to be an important, common, dietary determinant of iodine status in pregnancy; cohort-specific determinants were also identified. In the second study, three spot-urine iodine measurements from each trimester were used in longitudinal analysis which showed an increase in urinary-iodine concentration across pregnancy. The third study showed that thyroglobulin was negatively associated with urinary-iodine concentration in an iodine-sufficient and a mildly iodine-deficient pregnant population; this suggested that thyroglobulin could be used as a complementary indicator of population iodine status. In the fourth study, iodine deficiency at multiple gestational time-points was associated with lower non-verbal intelligence quotient in children at 8 years. In the final study, evidence of the effects of iodine supplementation of mildly-to-moderately iodine-deficient pregnant women on thyroid function and child cognition was reviewed systematically; the results highlighted the lack of good-quality evidence from randomised-controlled trials to support recommendations for iodine supplementation in pregnancy in these areas. Public-health strategies aimed at educating pregnant women and women of childbearing age on the importance of iodine and the ways that they can meet iodine requirements through diet are needed. An accurate assessment of iodine status in pregnancy would be valuable for public-health monitoring and future research.

description: Lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs) represent the next frontier of electrochemical storage in the electrification of modern life. While theoretically able to outperform many battery chemistries (due to a theoretical specific capacity of 1675 mA h g-1sulfur) current LSB performance has inherent shortcomings due to the self-destructive polysulfide-shuttle.
This research studied a novel templating method by adding removable nanoscale elemental sulfur features to yield network porosity when produced via acidification of aqueous ammonium thiosulfate; this process was carried out within the resole-type polymerisation matrix. Additionally, the inclusion of elemental sulfur within a carbon-sulfur composite was also trialled by acidification of ammonium thiosulfate as a contrast to the standard technique of melting sulfur into a carbon. Further studies were conducted through the addition of lithium phenyl sulfonate (LiPS) groups to improve interactions at the cathode surface.
Materials characterisation included X-ray diffraction (XRD), infrared (IR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), nitrogen sorptiometry/porosimetry, CHNS elemental microanalysis, Raman spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Electrochemical studies performed included galvanostatic discharge-charge (GDC) cycling, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and in operando Raman spectroscopy. Post mortem studies of cycled LSB components were also completed by means of SEM and XPS.
The sulfur-particle-templated carbon (pyrolysed up to 600 °C) was the best performing sulfur-host due to beneficial surface functionality and greater degrees of sulfur-utilisable porosity which was enhanced by deposition-loading of sulfur. That composite led to cells with capacities of 750 mA h g-1sulfur after 40 cycles at 0.05 C. Adding a carbonaceous film above the same cathode further improved the interactions near the cathode surface, improving capacities to 1000 mA h g-1sulfur after 40 cycles at 0.05 C, but accelerated the polysulfide-shuttle. When grafting LiPS groups on the surface of a porous carbon there was higher power performance without requiring nitrate additive in the electrolyte.
