The Imagination Premium: an anticipative performance metric

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Purpose The authors offer a new metric for assessing a company's potential for growth that CEO's and leadership teams can actively manage. Design/methodology/approach The Imagination Premium metric reflects the value of a company's equity, beyond what can be readily explained by its ability to throw off cash. Findings For a CEO, TIP provides support for an argument that investments in future growth are well warranted. Practical/implications A negative TIP signals that investors will not even pay for the capitalized value of current cash flow and this usually leads to activist investors, hostile acquisition threats and C-suite turnover. Originality/value The article shows executives how to drive the premium investors will pay for corporate growth initiatives. One of the first things strategists can do to manage their company's TIP is a portfolio analysis that looks at how uncertain each current investment is, and whether the whole portfolio is one growth investors will reward with an increased TIP.
Living out nonconformity: Restoration ministers and their diaries

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

En 1662, le Parlement adopta un « Acte d’Uniformité » pour imposer la conformité ecclésiastique. Les pasteurs reçurent l'ordre de déclarer devant leur congrégation leur « assentiment et consentement » au Livre des Prière Publiques de 1662. La loi impliquait la fin des bénéfices cléricaux pour ceux qui refusaient de s’y soumettre et trois mois d’emprisonnement si un pasteur continuait à prêcher. Refusant tout compromis, certains pasteurs changèrent de profession ou prirent le risque de fonder des Églises séparées. Cependant, certains continuèrent d’officier au sein de l’Église nationale. Cet article révèle d'abord certaines caractéristiques communes à trois pasteurs nonconformistes, qui expliquent leur refus de se conformer. Deuxièmement, il s’attache à déterminer pour ces pasteurs les circonstances personnelles, les réseaux et les qualités qui ont servi à ces pasteurs pour poursuivre leur ministère au sein de l’Église d’Angleterre après 1662. C’est au travers leurs autobiographies et de leurs journaux privés que cet article analyse les récits personnels de Ralph Josselin (Essex), Edmund Trench (Kent), et Oliver Heywood (Yorkshire).

The primary outcome measures were a Visual Analog Mood Scale (VAMS) and an emotional 2-back WM task at 12 months after DBS in the optimal DBS-ON/Med-ON setting compared to DBS-OFF/Med-OFF.Results: Comparison of DBS-OFF/Med-OFF to DBS-ON/Med-ON revealed a significant increase in alertness (meanoff/off =51.59&amp;plusmn;24.54; meanon/on =72.75; P=0.016) and contentedness (meanoff/off&amp;nbsp;=38.73&amp;plusmn;24.41; meanon/on&amp;nbsp;=79.01&amp;plusmn;17.66; P=0.001, n=16), and a trend for reduction in sedation (P=0.060), which was related to stimulation as shown in a subgroup of seven patients. The N-back task revealed a significant increase in accuracy with DBS-ON/Med-ON compared to DBS-OFF/Med-OFF (82.0% vs 76.0%, respectively) (P=0.044), regardless of stimulus valence.Conclusion: In line with previous studies, we found that patients rated themselves subjectively as more alert, content, and less sedated during short-term DBS-ON. Accuracy in the WM task increased with the combination of DBS and medication, possibly related to higher alertness of the patients. Our results add to the currently mixed results described for DBS on WM and suggest that there are no deleterious DBS effects on this specific cognitive domain.

Genetic architecture of yield contributing traits in foxtail millet (Setaria italica)

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Fifty seven genotypes of foxtail millet [Setaria italica (L.) P. Beauv.] were evaluated during 2007 and 2008 at Meerut (Uttar Pradesh) to know the genetic variability, direct and indirect contributions of some metric traits on grain yield under randomized block design. Observations were recorded on nine characters, viz. days to 50% flowering, days to maturity, plant height, flag leaf length, flag leaf width, spike length, grain yield plant−1, biological yield plant−1 and harvest index. According to the obtained results, heritability with high genetic advance was observed for grain yield while high heritability coupled with moderate genetic advance was noticed for biological yield and days to 50% flowering. Grain yield was found to be significantly and positively correlated with days to 50% flowering, days to maturity, pant height, flag leaf length and width, ear length and biological yield. Path coefficient analysis indicated that biological yield and harvest index had higher positive direct effect on grain yield. These traits having a positive direct effect on grain yield can be considered as a suitable selection criterion for evolving high yielding foxtail millet genotype.
Restart uncertainty relation for monitored quantum dynamics

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

We introduce a novel time-energy uncertainty relation within the context of restarts in monitored quantum dynamics. Initially, we investigate the concept of ``first hitting time'' in quantum systems using an IBM quantum computer and a three-site ring graph as our starting point. Previous studies have established that the mean recurrence time, which represents the time taken to return to the initial state, is quantized as an integer multiple of the sampling time, displaying pointwise discontinuous transitions at resonances. Our findings demonstrate that, the natural utilization of the restart mechanism in laboratory experiments, driven by finite data collection time spans, leads to a broadening effect on the transitions of the mean recurrence time. Our newly proposed uncertainty relation captures the underlying essence of these phenomena, by connecting the broadening of the mean hitting time near resonances, to the intrinsic energies of the quantum system and to the fluctuations of recurrence time. This work not only contributes to our understanding of fundamental aspects related to quantum measurements and dynamics, but also offers practical insights for the design of efficient quantum algorithms with mid-circuit measurements.
Perceived Authenticity, Satisfaction and Behavioural Intentions at Wineries

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Wine tourism can be considered as an effective distribution channel for sustaining direct sales and export markets. Hence, any research deepening our understanding about wine tourists is pivotal for scholars and practitioners. This study was carried out on 261 visitors at Sardinian wineries to investigate whether their perceived authenticity during the visit (i.e. object-based and existential) can be used as a suitable segmentation variable. Further, it seeks to analyse whether segments differ in terms of socio-demographics, purchasing behaviour, satisfaction and behavioural intentions. To achieve these goals, factor-cluster analysis, Chi-square tests and an Anova test were run. Two clusters were identified («enthusiastic» and «indifferent») with no significant differences based on their socio-demographics (gender, age, occupation, level of education and marital status) and on their buying behaviour while at the winery. However, individuals with the highest perceived authenticity expressed higher levels of satisfaction and more positive behavioural intentions. Contributions to the body of knowledge and managerial implications are discussed, and suggestions for further research are given.
Tissue-engineered Minimalistic Reconstruction of a Severely Crushed Fingertip.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The goals of treatment for fingertip injuries are maximising digital length, tactile sensation, pulp padding, and fingertip appearance while minimising complications like infection and amputation. Currently, terminalisation, healing by secondary intention, and flap surgeries are widely used for crushing fingertip injuries, but they have their own set of issues and limitations. We present a tissue-engineered method by combining platelet-rich fibrin injections with stacked-up layers of synthetic biodegradable temporising matrix to treat a severely crushed fingertip. This novel therapy minimised reconstructions while successfully regenerating new soft-tissues. Soft-tissue regeneration within the stacked-up biodegradable matrix achieved adequate volume, sensation, function, and mobility of the newly reconstructed fingertip while maintaining its skeletal length. Notably, the regenerated fingertip allowed the patient to resume work normally as a busy software engineer. Thus, minimalistic fingertip reconstruction not only prevented a disability, but also served as a viable alternative to major reconstructive surgeries.
Forecasts for trans-border mobility: A case study of agricultural products imported from Laos to Thailand via the Chong-Mek border

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

This study aimed to 1) examine the overall data of agricultural products imported from Laos to Thailand via the Chong-Mek border, 2) find a reliable forecasting model for imported agricultural products, and 3) forecast the value of selected agricultural products to be imported from Laos to Thailand. All data were collected from the website of Chong-Mek customs house. The results indicate that 79.75% of the total products imported from Laos to Thailand were agricultural products. From the fiscal year 2008–2016, cabbage was the best imported product with an import value of 2,681 million USD. Chipped cassava was the second best with an import value of 1,970 million USD. Several forecasting models were applied to the total imported data, including 1) simple linear regression, 2) moving average, 3) exponential smoothing, and 4) double exponential smoothing. We found that simple linear regression and exponential smoothing were the most reliable forecasting models with minimum forecast errors. The 5-year forecast results indicate that the demand for cabbage, chipped cassava, sweet potato, and green banana from Laos is expected to increase to 782.52, 904.25, 149.93, and 121.97 million USD in the fiscal year 2021.
Resistive ballooning modes in an axisymmetric toroidal plasma with long mean-free path

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Tokamak devices normally operate at such high temperatures that the resistive fluid description is inappropriate. In particular, the collision frequency may be low enough for trapped particles to exist. However, on account of the high conductivity of such plasmas, one can identify two separate scale lengths when discussing resistive ballooning modes. By describing plasma motion on one of these, the connection length, in terms of kinetic theory the dynamics of trapped particles can be incorporated. On the resistive scale length, this leads to a description in terms of modified fluid equations in which trapped particle effects appear. The resulting equations are analyzed and the presence of trapped particles is found to modify the stability properties qualitatively.
New textures for the lepton mass matrices

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

We study predictive textures for the lepton mass matrices in which the charged-lepton mass matrix has either four or five zero matrix elements while the neutrino Majorana mass matrix has, respectively, either four or three zero matrix elements. We find that all the viable textures of these two kinds share many predictions: the neutrino mass spectrum is inverted, the sum of the light-neutrino masses is close to 0.1 eV, the Dirac phase $δ$ in the lepton mixing matrix is close to either $0$ or $π$, and the mass term responsible for neutrinoless double-beta decay lies in between 12 and 22 meV.

Catalytic Asymmetric [4 + 1] Annulation of Sulfur Ylides with Copper–Allenylidene Intermediates

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

The first copper-catalyzed asymmetric decarboxylative [4 + 1] cycloaddition of propargylic carbamates and sulfur ylides was successfully developed. This strategy led to a series of chiral indolines with synthetically flexible alkyne groups in good yields and with high enantio- and diastereoselectivities (up to 99% yield, 98% ee, and >95:5 dr). A possible mechanism and stereoinduction mode with copper-allenylidenes were proposed as the possible dipolar intermediate.
Influence of Antibiotics Addition in Bone Cements for Hip Arthroplasty on their Mechanical Properties: Clinical Perspective and<i> In Vitro</i> Tests

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Bone cement has been used for over half a century, to successfully anchor artificial joints. From its emergence there have appeared a number of types of bone cement, with the 2 major classes being bone cement with or without active substances. The one with the added antibiotics is used primarily in the treatment and revision surgery of infected total hip arthroplasty (THA), as well as a prophylactic method in primary THA in patients with high risks for this complication. The purpose of this study is to determine the mechanical properties of bone cement with added antibiotics. Over a period of 2 years, a number of 41 cases were chosen for this study: 25 with revision surgery for THA, where bone cement with antibiotics was used, and 16 with primary THA, where regular bone cement was used. A number of studies have been performed on the mechanical properties of the 2 types of cement, which determined that the cement with antibiotics presents a slightly lower compressive strength, tensile strength, elastic modulus and fatigue strength compared with regular cement. These variations, however, become more pronounced as the quantity of the antibiotic goes up. The mechanical properties of the cement with antibiotics are similar with those of the regular cement, when low doses of antibiotics are used and become more evident as the doses go up. In conclusion, the antibiotic bone cement is a trustworthy tool in the surgeon’s arsenal against infection, with minimal detriments from the mechanical view.
Level of Unintended Pregnancy and its Associated Factors among Currently Pregnant Women in Duguna Fango District, Wolaita Zone, Southern Ethiopia

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Few researchers in Ethiopia have studied issues related to unintended pregnancy and little has been discussed about its cause especially in the rural parts of the county. Moreover, efforts to reduce the incidence of unintended pregnancy were very weak. Hence, there is a continued need for research, information sharing and documentation of efforts aimed at reducing unintended pregnancy. Hence the objective of this study is to measure the level of unintended pregnancy and identify associated factors among currently pregnant women in Duguna Fango Woreda, Wolaita Zone, South Ethiopia. Facility based Cross-sectional study method were instrumental under current study. Four hundred Seventy Seven (477) respondents were selected by systematic random sampling method from five health centers. Data collected through structured and pre-tested questionnaire, and analyzed using SPSS for windows version 16.0. Bivariate and multivariate logistic analysis was used to calculate the odds ratios with 95% confidence interval for the different risk factors. The level of significance was set at P < 0.05. It is concluded that, unintended pregnancy was found to be a major reproductive health problem in the study area and thus deserves priority attention. It is recommended that, different partners in partnership with the government to address the issue of improving income among women, improving their perception, empowerment, economic status and women on reproductive health issues is encouraged.
Differential Effect of Weight Loss on Insulin Resistance in Surgically Treated Obese Patients

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Purpose: To compare the effects of equivalent weight loss induced by two bariatric surgical techniques on insulin action in severely obese patients. Methods: Eighteen nondiabetic patients with severe obesity (mean [± SD] body mass index: 53.5 ± 9 kg/m 2 ) and 20 sex‐ and age‐matched lean subjects (body mass index: 23.8 ± 3 kg/m 2 ) underwent metabolic studies, including measurement of insulin sensitivity by the insulin clamp technique. Patients then underwent either vertical banded gastroplasty with Roux‐en‐Y gastric bypass or biliopancreatic diversion and were restudied at 5–6 months and again at 16–24 months postsurgery. Results: At baseline, patients were hyperinsulinemic (194 ± 47 pmol/L vs 55 ± 25 pmol/L, p < .0001), hypertriglyceridemic (1.56 ± 0.30 mmol/L vs 0.78 ± 0.32 mmol/L, p < .0001), and profoundly insulin resistant (insulin‐mediated glucose disposal: 20.8 ± 4.4μ mol/min/kg fat‐free mass vs 52 ± 10.1 μmol/min/kg, p < .0001) as compared with controls. Weight loss by the 2 procedures was equivalent in both amount (averaging –53 kg) and time course. In the gastric bypass group, insulin sensitivity improved (23.8± 6 μmol/min/kg at 5 months and 33.7 ± 11.3 μmol/min/kg at 16 months, p < .01 vs baseline and controls). In contrast, in the biliopancreatic diversion group, insulin sensitivity was normalized already at 6 months (52.5 ± 12.4 μmol/min/kg, p = .72 vs controls) and increased further at 24 months (68.7 ± 9.5 μmol/min/kg, p < .01 vs controls), despite a persistent obese phenotype (body mass index 33.2 ± 8 kg/m 2 ). Conclusions: In surgically treated obese patients, insulin sensitivity improves in proportion to weight loss with use of predominantly restrictive procedures (gastric bypass) but is reversed completely by predominantly malabsorptive approaches (biliopancreatic diversion) long before normalization of body weight. Selective nutrient absorption and gut hormones may interact with one another in the genesis of the metabolic abnormalities of obesity.

Determination of Major, Minor and Chiral Components as Quality and Authenticity Markers of Rosa damascena Oil by GC-FID

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Rose oil is traditionally produced by the water distillation of Rosa damascena and is of high economic value due to the low essential oil yield. It is therefore a common target for adulteration, which can cause harm to consumers. Current standards for authenticity control only consider the analysis of major components and overlook minor quality markers as well as the enantiomeric ratio of terpenes, which have proven useful in originality determination. The aim of this study was the development of two analytical GC-FID methods for the analysis of 21 and 29 rose oil analytes including major, minor and chiral components on a DB-wax and BGB 178 30% CD (chiral) capillary column, respectively. The total run time for both methods was within 60 min. For all target analytes, the % bias at the lower and upper calibration range varied from −7.8 to 13.2% and −13.1 to 5.2% analysed on the DB-wax column and 0.5 to 13.3% and −6.9 to 7.0% analysed on the chiral column. The chiral analysis successfully separated the enantiomers (+/−)-camphene, (+/−)-rose oxide, (+/−)-linalool, (+/−)-citronellol and (+/−)-citronellyl acetate, as well as the diastereomers of citral and β-damascenone. Both methods were applied to the analysis of 10 authentic rose oil samples and the enantiomeric/diastereomeric ratios, as well as the content of major and minor components, were determined. The identity of the analysed components in the authentic samples was further confirmed by GC-MS.
