Inhibitors to Business Model Change Realization: Evidence from the European niche banking market.

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

The concept of business model offers several views on what it means and how it serves to enhance value capture, creation and delivery of an organization. However an organization which have experienced continuous growth, fails to realize the necessity for change. Moreover when the “wake up” call for change occurs, some factors, as the authors identify as inhibitors, severely hinders the urge to move towards change. There might be some underlying issues or rather challenges behind the creation/emergence of an inhibitor, but how does that translate when the competitive landscape shifts and a change in the existing business model becomes a necessity?
A comparative evaluation of concentrated growth factor and blood clot as scaffolds in regenerative endodontic procedures

Field: Dentistry (Health Sciences)

Objective To evaluate and compare the treatment efficacy between concentrated growth factor(CGF) and blood clots(BC) as scaffolds in regenerative endodontic procedures(REPs). Methods Twenty young permanent teeth from 18 healthy children with pulp necrosis or periapical periodontitis were randomly divided into CGF group and BC group. In the CGF group(n=10), after apical bleeding, CGF was inserted into the root canal as a stent. In the BC group(n=10), by stimulating apical bleeding, blood entered the root canal and produced blood clots as scaffolds. Clinical examination and apical X-ray shooting were conducted for each follow-up visit. Cone beam computed tomographic(CBCT) images were acquired preoperatively and at the 24-month recall. The increase of root length, root wall thickness, and newly-formed calcified tissue were calculated. Results The root length increased by (1.68±0.90)mm in the CGF group and (2.36±1.34)mm in the BC group. Root wall thickness increased by (0.44±0.34)mm in the CGF group and (0.50±0.31)mm in the BC group. There was no statistically significant difference in root lengthening and root wall thickening between two groups(P>0.05). The amount of newly formed calcified tissue in the CGF group ((22.13±19.12)mm3) was significantly less than that in the BC group ((42.97±22.69)mm3)(P<0.05). According to the goals for success outlined by American Association of Endodontists(AAE), 90%(9/10) of the CGF cases and 100%(10/10) of the BC cases achieved the primary and secondary goals(P>0.05). 40% of the CGF cases(4/10) and 60% of the BC cases(6/10) achieved the tertiary goal(P>0.05). Conclusion CGF is found to be useful as a scaffold for REPs, but the success rate is slightly lower than that of BC group and the difference is not statistically significant.
The standard of living in Scandinavia 1750–1914

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

Abstract One of the most protracted debates in history is the one which has been carried on between the «optimists» and the «pessimists» concerning the standard of living of English workers during the early phase of industrialization about 1780–1850. Already at the beginning of the 19th century opinions were divided concerning how the industrialization affected the workers, and since then the debate has been reopened at regular intervals. The contributions from the 1920s are thus well-known, in particular those of J.H. Clapham representing the optimist side and the socialist J.L. Hammond that of the pessimists. About 1960 the economist R.M. Hartwell was the most prominent optimist, while the marxist-inspired social historian E.H. Hobsbawm was the standard-bearer of the pessimist party.
Parental experiences of children with developmental dysplasia of the hip: a qualitative study

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Objective The aim of this qualitative study was to explore the experiences of Dutch parents of children with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), treated with a Pavlik harness, during the diagnostic and treatment process in the first year of life. Design A qualitative study by means of semistructured interviews was conducted between September and December 2020. Qualitative content analysis was applied to code, categorise and thematise data. Setting A large, tertiary referral centre for paediatric orthopaedics in the Netherlands. Participants A purposive sample of parents of children aged younger than 1 year, who were treated for DDH with a Pavlik harness, were interviewed until data saturation was achieved. A total of 20 interviews with 22 parents were conducted. Results Five main themes emerged: (1) positive experiences with professionals and peers, (2) insufficient information, (3) treatment concerns, (4) difficulties parenting and (5) emotional burden. Most prominent features that resonated across the interviews which led to insecurity by parents were: insufficient pre-hospital information, unfiltered online information and the lack of overview of the patient journey. Conclusion This study offers novel insights into parental experiences in DDH care. Parents were generally satisfied with DDH care provided by the hospital. The biggest challenges were to cope with (1) insufficient and unfiltered information, (2) the lack of patient journey overview and (3) practical problems and emotional doubts, which led to concerns during treatment. Future research and interventions should focus on optimising information provision and guidance with practical and emotional support for parents of children with DDH.
CONVERGENCE THEOREMS FOR SEQUENCES OF CHOQUET INTEGRALS

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

Abstract The Choquet integral with respect to nonadditive monotone set functions, including imprecise probabilities and fuzzy measures, is a generalization of the classical Lebesgue integral. It is one kind of nonlinear functionals defined on a subspace of all real valued measurable functions. In this paper, several different types of convergence, including the mean convergence that is based on the Choquet integral, for sequences of measurable functions are considered, and the corresponding convergence theorems for sequence of Choquel integrals are demonstrated. Particularly, the theorem of convergence in measure is presented in a form of "necessary and sufficient condition" by using the structural characteristics of nonnegative monotone set functions. As an application of convergence theorems, the stability of a class of nonlinear integral systems is discussed.
From Criminal Spin to Positive Criminology

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Victimization is traditionally associated with passivity, helplessness, powerlessness, and vulnerability, and an “ideal victim” necessitates the identification (and prosecution) of an “ideal offender” (Christie, 1986). Further, in contrast to the “fixed” position of the offender (as immoral), the position of the victim can be flexible, depending on their perceived response to the crime that took place. Kearon and Godfrey (2007) present the demise of the victim as having enjoyed a role as the “essential actor” in early modern criminal justice processes, to the “symbolic actor” of the enlightenment, to their current position of “fragmented actor”—to be helped, protected, pitied, or doubted, and even despised. It has been suggested that the idea of “the victim” has become much stronger as they have come to be represented by others in the courtroom, where the “powerful symbolism of vulnerable victims” (Kearon & Godfrey, 2007) was conceived. This image of the “ideal victim” has significantly shaped public, media, and governmental attitudes toward crime andIntroduction 289 Victims’ Roles 290 “False” Allegations 292 Ideal Victims’ Identities 296 Targeted Police Activity: Exposing the Exploited 298 Redefining the Stereotypical Victim 304Case Studies 304 Recasting the Roles of Victim and Offender 308 References 310offenders, reinforcing an increasingly complex, fragmented, and paradoxical debate. The victim’s role generally remains uncomplicated, providing the victim maintains the “appropriate” veneer of victimhood, but the status of the victim is precarious and can be variously shaped and influenced by cultural forces (Mythen, 2007). The media, as well as jurists, have helped fuel the general public’s assessment of the apposite sufferer, as one who has in no way precipitated or contributed to their own victimization-a view that has been promulgated for many years (Kearon & Godfrey, 2007; Weisstub, 1986). The end of the twentieth century saw victim issues begin formally to be addressed by the state and policy makers (Mawby & Gill, 1987) and, through the formalization of measures to address victims’ rights, the victim has been (re-)placed (rhetorically, at least) center stage in formal responses to community safety, crime control, and punishment (Mawby & Gill, 1987). The voice of the victim is sought through crime victimization surveys; our policies are shaped to ensure that victims are protected; and victimization is recognized and targeted by the authorities (such as antihate campaigns, domestic violence awareness drives, or safer cities initiatives). Despite such drives to identify “victimization” generally, there are many challenges for those individuals who seek legal recourse and recognition if they do not match the prototype. The victim of crime at court often remains the “silent and forgotten” actor in the criminal justice system (CJS), which is astonishing, given that most trials would collapse if their cooperation was not forthcoming (Das, 1997).
Medical cannabis for orthopaedic patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain: does evidence support its use?

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The treatment of chronic, non-cancer musculoskeletal pain has become a topic growing interest as it is believed to be one of the reasons for the current opioid epidemic. The medicinal use of cannabis has a long history as a number of active compounds in cannabis have been shown to interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system to reduce pain. This position paper provides a history on the evolution of cannabis, the science behind its therapeutic effects, and review of the evidence and current guideline recommendations on its use as a treatment for patients with chronic, non-cancer musculoskeletal pain. Results from systematic reviews have demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in chronic pain conditions with cannabinoids, compared with placebo, although the effects might be considered small and did not reach the minimally important difference. More adverse events were reported in the cannabinoid group than in the placebo group with longer than 2 weeks of treatment. There is a lack of evidence on dependence. With changes to policies, patients’ perception has changed to be more positive toward the use of medical cannabis. Current recommendations from North America, Latin America, Europe, Australia and Iran support the use of medical cannabis for chronic, non-cancer pain. Based on the current evidence, it is our position that cannabinoids may be considered as an adjunctive therapy after recommended first- and second-line therapies have failed to provide sufficient efficacy or tolerability. Patients should consider the balance between the desirable and undesirable effects of taking cannabis for chronic pain, and comprehensively consider their own values and preferences, as well as cost-effectiveness factors, based on the information provided by their physician.
Integration of RCR and Ethics Education into Course-Based Undergraduate Research Experiences in the Biological Sciences: A Needed Discussion

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) have been identified as a promising vehicle to broaden novices’ participation in authentic scientific opportunities. While recent studies in the bioeducation literature have focused on the influence of CUREs on cognitive and non-cognitive student outcomes (e.g., attitudes and motivation, science process skills development), few investigations have examined the extent to which the contextual features inherent in such experiences affect students’ academic and professional growth. Central among these factors is that of ethics and the responsible conduct of research (RCR)—essential cornerstones of the scientific enterprise. In this article, we examine the intersectionality of ethics/RCR instruction within CURE contexts through a critical review of existing literature that details mechanisms for the integration of ethics/RCR education into undergraduate laboratory experiences in the science domains. Building upon this foundation, we propose a novel, evidence-based framework that seeks to illustrate posited interactions between core ethics/RCR principles and unique dimensions of CUREs. It is our intent that this framework will inform and encourage open dialogue around an often-overlooked aspect of CURE instruction—how to best prepare ethically responsible scholars for entrance into the global scientific workforce.
Renal deterioration in multiple sclerosis patients with neurovesical dysfunction

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Objectives: Our aims were to determine the prevalence of renal ultrasound (RUS) abnormalities over time in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Methods: Data were examined retrospectively from MS patients with LUTS, from 2000–2009. Study inclusion requirements were both baseline urodynamics (UD) and RUS data, with followup RUS at ≥ 12 months. Age, time since diagnosis (TSD), MS subtype and the UD/RUS results were evaluated for associations. Results: At presentation, 173 subjects underwent UD and RUS, but only 89 had a repeat RUS at ≥ 12 months. Median followup was 61 months. Initial RUS abnormalities were found in 10 (5.8%) subjects. At followup, upper urinary tract (UUT) abnormalities were seen in 11 (12.4%) subjects. Patients > 49 years old were more likely to have an abnormality (OR 0.181, 95% CI 0.037–0.892, p = 0.04). Patients with abnormal compliance were also more likely to have an abnormal followup RUS (OR 0.185, 95% CI 0.037–0.924, p = 0.04). No other demographic or UD factor was associated with RUS abnormalities. Conclusions: The development of structural UUT changes is low in MS patients. Urodynamic studies are useful for LUTS treatment strategies in complicated patients, but UD does not appear to have much impact with regard to upper tract changes.

The Construction of a Digital Agricultural GIS Application Suite

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

With the increasing expansion and deepening of GIS applications across diverse industries, the limitations of industry-specific GIS application systems in terms of development efficiency, flexibility, and customization have become increasingly apparent. This paper employes the concept of application suites and proposes a design approach for tailored GIS application suites in digital agriculture, considering its specific application requirements. Additionally, it outlines an implementation method based on low-code development and microservice technologies. A GIS application system for digital agriculture was developed to conduct experimental validation. The results indicate that the GIS application suite developed in this study demonstrates readily deployable characteristics, granular assembly capabilities, and ease of scalability, facilitating the rapid development of customized GIS applications for digital agriculture. This approach enhances both development efficiency and flexibility while meeting the customization needs inherent to such applications.
Data from Gene expression profiling of imatinib and PD166326-resistant CML cell lines identifies Fyn as a gene associated with resistance to BCR-ABL inhibitors

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

<div>Abstract<p>Imatinib is used to treat chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), but resistance develops in all phases of this disease. The purpose of the present study was to identify the mode of resistance of newly derived imatinib-resistant (IM-R) and PD166326-resistant (PD-R) CML cells. IM-R and PD-R clones exhibited an increase in viability and a decrease in caspase activation in response to various doses of imatinib and PD166326, respectively, as compared with parental K562 cells. Resistance involved neither mutations in BCR-ABL nor increased BCR-ABL, MDR1 or Lyn expression, all known modes of resistance. To gain insight into the resistance mechanisms, we used pangenomic microarrays and identified 281 genes modulated in parental versus IM-R and PD-R cells. The gene signature was similar for IM-R and PD-R cells, accordingly with the cross-sensitivity observed for both inhibitors. These genes were functionally associated with pathways linked to development, cell adhesion, cell growth, and the JAK-STAT cascade. Especially relevant were the increased expression of the tyrosine kinases AXL and Fyn as well as CD44 and HMGA2. Small interfering RNA experiments and pharmacologic approaches identified FYN as a candidate for resistance to imatinib. Our findings provide a comprehensive picture of the transcriptional events associated with imatinib and PD166326 resistance and identify Fyn as a new potential target for therapeutic intervention in CML.

Radar imaging of fractures and voids behind the walls of an underground mine

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

Two- and three-dimensional rock-penetrating-radar data were acquired on the wall of a pillar in an underground limestone mine. The objective was to test the ability of radar to image fractures and karst voids and to characterize their geometry, aperture, and fluid content, with the goal of mitigating mining hazards. Strong radar reflections in the field data correlate with fractures and a cave exposed on the pillar walls. Large pillar wall topography was included in the steep-dip Kirchhoff migration algorithm because standard elevation corrections are inaccurate. The depth-migrated 250 MHz radar images illuminate fractures, karst voids, and the far wall of the pillar up to approximately 25 m depth into the rock, with a spatial resolution of <0.5 m. Higher frequency radar improved the image resolution and aided in the interpretation, but at the cost of shallower depth of penetration and extra acquisition effort. Due to the strong contrast in physical properties between the rock and the fracture fluid, fractures with apertures as thin as a 50th of a radar wavelength were imaged. Water-filled fractures with mm-scale aperture and air-filled fractures with cm-scale apertures produce strong reflections at 250 MHz. A strong variation in the reflection amplitude along each fracture is interpreted to represent the variable fracture aperture and the nonplanar fracture structure. Fracture apertures were quantitatively measured, but distinguishing water from air-filled fractures was not possible due to the complex radar wavelet and fracture geometry. Two conjugate fracture sets were imaged. One of these fracture sets dominates the rock mass stability and water inrush challenges throughout the mine. All of the detected voids and a large cave are at the intersection of two fractures, indicating preferential water flow and dissolution along conjugate fracture intersections. Detecting, locating, and characterizing fractures and voids prior to excavation can enable miners to mitigate potential collapse and flood hazards before they occur.
Measurement of Work-Related Outcomes for Students with Severe Disabilities

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Measuring employment outcomes for persons with severe disabilities has advanced in scope and effort during recent years. The initial focus on task performance in sheltered settings has been replaced with the measurement of a number of other individual outcomes within the context of supported employment. Additionally, measurement reflects an ecological perspective; that is, individual outcomes, such as job-task performance, integration, economic benefits, and consumer satisfaction are considered within the context of group and organizational variables that can affect those outcomes. In this article, measurement considerations for individual, group, and organizational factors are described and discussed. As students with severe disabilities enter complex employment environments, it is clear that more than one measurement strategy will be needed to document meaningful outcomes.
