Building bridges to cross oceans: Reflections on organization studies in the 21st century

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Organization theory (OT) is a vibrant academic field that addresses fundamental questions about the imperatives and challenges that organizations face. In this essay, we wish to show the vibrancy of organization studies in the 21st century and to invigorate future scholarship in two ways. First, we offer a synthetic overview of Organization Studies as it has developed in the European tradition. Second, we zoom in into our own theoretical home – organizational institutionalism – and discuss more in-depth the trajectory of research in this domain. We draw on our own research and flesh out research opportunities that we consider particularly intriguing as future research endeavors in the field of organization theory.

Fabrication of single crystalline MEMS DM using anodic wafer bonding

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

We report on the development of a new class of electrostatic MEMS deformable mirror (DM) fabricated through a combination of bulk micromachining, wafer bonding, and surface micromachining. The combination of these fabrication technologies introduces four major improvements over previous MEMS DMs, which are fabricated using surface micromachining alone. First, the MEMS DM structural components (mirror surface and actuator array) are made entirely of single crystalline silicon by use of the device layer of a whole 4-inch silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafer bonded together via anodic bonding. Unlike current MEMS DMs fabricated entirely using surface micromachining, bulk micromachining steps in this fabrication process require no etch access holes, print through is inexistent, and no polishing steps are required. This leads to reduced diffraction of light from the mirror surface, improved mirror surface optical quality, and elimination of manufacturing processing steps. Second, through-wafer interconnects are used to connect the densely-packed electrostatic actuator array to driver electronics. This eliminates the need for wirebonding at the periphery of the DM, increasing the surface area available for actuators and removes the need for bulky wire bundles to connect the device to its driver. Third, by using the full area of a silicon wafer for each mirror, these MEMS DMs offer a larger optical aperture than any previously-reported MEMS DM. The larger aperture will achieve higher angular resolution, providing larger wavefront correction. Finally, the mirror and actuator thicknesses are not limited to several micrometers, unlike in surface micromachining. The thickness limits using this fabrication process is prescribed by the device layer thickness in SOI wafers, which vary between several micrometers to several hundred of microns.
Traffic volume predicition based on TransCAD &#x2014; Take highway engineering planning from GongHe to JieGu in QingHai province as an example

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Four-stage method,which based on regional economic theory —— is the most accurate and the most widely used forecasting methods in the variety of traffic volume, but its calculation is relatively complex for often requires iterative calculations. Four-stage traffic volume prediction method by use of TransCAD traffic forecasting would greatly reduce the computing process, meanwhile, the result of its prediction would be much more accurate according to its built-in and the actual extended prediction model. The author introduces the using method of the software by real example, also explains some normal questions briefly, and Pointed out the concerned problem in the use of TransCAD to predict traffic volume.
Changes in the endogenous BMP expression during redifferentiation of chondrocytes in 3D cultures

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

Engineering cartilage tissue is challenging, mainly because chondrocytes lose their differentiated phenotype when cultured in monolayer. The aim of this study was to analyse the influence of 3D-culture conditions on the redifferentiation of chondrocytes, devoting special attention to BMPs. Dedifferentiated chondrocytes were seeded onto two different scaffolds (Bio-Gide and HYAFF-11) and were then cultured for 38 days. Every week, samples were taken for gene expression analysis and immunohistochemistry. In both scaffolds an increasing differentiation was observed caused by an increase in Col2 and a reduction in Col1 expression. The various BMPs were regulated, albeit differently by the changing culture conditions. While GDF-5 and BMP-4 expression increased in the monolayer culture in comparison with native cartilage and decreased again in the 3D culture, the BMP-2 and BMP-6 expression decreased dramatically in the monolayer as well as in the 3D culture. BMP-7 was not detectable in any probe. Scaffold cultivation appears to stimulate the induction of redifferentiation, but is not sufficient to induce expression of BMP-2 -6 or -7. Since, in comparison to cartilage development, there is a lack of surrounding signal centres, external stimuli seem to be required to obtain complete redifferentiation. Our data indicate that a combination of BMP-2, -6 and -7 may be promising for this purpose.
R. P. GORDON, The Targumists as eschatologists

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The Targumists were, of course, in a privileged position since they stood at the headwaters of biblical exposition and could easily, if they were so minded, make the biblical text conform to their own parti pris . There were many occasions, let it be said, when the Targumists felt justified in their liberal interpretation of their duties as translators and paraphrasts. G. F. Moore claimed that primary eschatological doctrine of Judaism is the resurrection, and it is certainly the case that the Targums make frequent mention of resurrection and of the related themes of reward and retribution. The apocalyptic literature of the intertestamental period displays no consensus in its references to the classes of people expected to have a part in the resurrection. Three main views are represented: a resurrection of righteous Israelites, or of all Israelites, or of all mankind. Keywords: apocalyptic literature; eschatological doctrine; Judaism; resurrection; Targumists
Recommended Crew Systems Functionality for a Mars Ascent Vehicle as a Function of Flight Duration

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

In many human Mars exploration architectures, a Mars Ascent Vehicle (MAV) is used at the end of a surface stay to transport crew from the Martian surface to a waiting in-space transportation vehicle. It is possible for this transportation vehicle to be placed in any of several different Mars orbits, the selection of which drives the flight duration of the MAV from launch to docking and the amount of propellant required on the transportation vehicle to reach the same orbit. This paper identifies existing NASA standards and supplies habitability subject matter expert recommendations for the human habitation capabilities of the MAV as a function of flight duration. Living and working functions that may potentially be carried aboard a MAV are assessed. Flight durations considered include up to 8 hours, 8-24 hours, 1-2 days, 2-3 days, 3-4 days, and 4-7 days, which book end flight durations necessary to reach the transportation vehicle at different possible Mars orbits. This analysis will determine if there are key durations that serve as significant break points in required MAV capability.

Analysis of the Importance of Capacity Building and Regional Specialization in MICE Industry - The Case study of Gangneung Area

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

The purpose of this study is to establish priorities for meetings, incentives, conventions, and exhibitions (MICE) ecosystem diagnosis, infrastructure and capacity building, and development of specialized MICE strategies in connection with regional strategic industries by extracting regional specialization factors and strengthening MICE capacity in the Gangneung area. For data collection, Gangneung DMO members, who play a central role in Gangneung tourism policy, were targeted and a total of 96 participants were surveyed with an online survey from October 20 to November 16, 2020. As a result of the analysis, the convention center, a 4-star hotel, the MICE organization in Gangneung, and a cooperative system were identified as priorities for strengthening the capabilities of the Gangneung MICE industry. Also, the use of Gangneung Ice Stadium, Gangneung MICE-linked convergence tourism products, and the development of the Gangneung MICE brand were identified as priorities for the regional specialization of the Gangneung MICE industry.
Effect of Plant Extracts Combinations on TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-10 Levels in Serum of Rats Exposed to Acute and Chronic Stress

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Oxydative stress, anxiety and depression are associated with changes in cytokine levels. Natural products, including individual and combined plant extracts, have the potential to be used in the treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders. The goal of this study is to investigate the effects of two combined plant extracts, rich in flavonoids, on the levels of the cytokines TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-10 in rats subjected to models of acute cold stress and chronic unpredictable stress. The study utilized common medicinal plants such as Valeriana officinalis, Melissa officinalis, Crataegus monogyna, Hypericum perforatum, and Serratula coronata, which were combined in two unique combinations—Antistress I and Antistress II. The compositions of the used extracts were determined by HPLC methods. Pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines in rats’ serum were measured with Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The results from the acute stress model revealed that the individual extract of Crataegus monogyna decreased levels of TNF-α, while Serratula coronata, Hypericum perforatum, and Valeriana officinalis effectively reduced IL-6 levels. Both combinations, Antistress I and Antistress II, were effective in reducing TNF-α and IL-6 levels, with Antistress II also increasing IL-10 levels. In the chronic stress model, Hypericum perforatum extract decreased the levels of the pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-6, whereas extracts of Serratula coronata and Valeriana officinalis only reduced TNF-α levels. The two combined extracts, Antistress I and Antistress II, decreased TNF-α and IL-6 levels, while Antistress I also reduced the levels of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10. The combinations of plant extracts used in our experiment have not been previously studied or documented in the available literature. However, based on our own experimental results, we can draw the conclusion that the combinations exhibit a more pronounced effect in reducing cytokine levels compared to the individual plant extracts.
Finding the Community’s Voice: Community-Based Participatory Research in Three Iowa Counties

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Engaging all Iowans in building a stronger state, preparing for a thriving future, and solving contemporary problems in research, education, and extension are central to the mission and vision of Iowa State University Extension and Outreach (EO). Achieving these goals will hinge upon EO’s ability to innovate and respond to the needs and interests of Iowa’s diverse residents. Similar to other rural states, the composition of Iowa’s population is evolving in terms of race, nationality, economics, and education. The identities of EO staff do not reflect the communities EO is committed to serving; therefore, programming and activities may lack cultural relevance. In three small studies, Iowa State faculty and research assistants, EO staff, and community consultants (CCs) collaboratively organized local “study circles” and “action forums” in an effort to better understand underrepresented families’ needs in three Iowa counties. The team recruited 98 adults and youth to participate in these group discussions. Often, participants were not aware of EO’s mission, logo, or programs and services. Residents offered ideas for fostering familiarity, trust, and connection. CCs also listened to residents’ barriers to engagement, such as program formats and topics, and documented useful resources to enhance accessibility. Participants shared ideas for programs that they would be motivated to engage in. In this article, the authors outline connections to prior work, recommendations, and limitations.
[Nerve preserving retroperitoneal lymph node excision in non-seminomatous testicular cancer].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Thirty-nine patients with a non-seminomatous testicular tumor underwent retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy (RPLND) between 12/90 and 7/93. Twenty-four patients with stage I disease were operated on with a modified nerve-sparing RPLND, while 7 patients with stage IIA and 8 patients with stage IIB had bilateral RPLND. Twelve of fifteen patients with stage IIA and IIB had preservation of their sympathetic postsynaptic fibers. Intraoperative electric stimulation of the fibers resulted in ejaculation in 25/26 patients. Semen analysis revealed 21 patients with necrospermia and maturation arrest, while 3 had aspermia. Antegrade ejaculation was restored after 1.1 months following nerve-sparing RPLND and 7 months following radical RPLND. Ejaculation did not return in one patient. No patient showed relapse. Our results show that the sympathetic postsynaptic fibers can be preserved during RPLND. Nerve-sparing RPLND is superior to radical and modified RPLND with regard to preservation of ejaculation without compromising the radicalness of the tumor surgery.
Heart Failure: Prevalence, Symptoms, Treatments

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Heart failure (HF) is a growing epidemic that affects about six million people in the United States and more than 23 million worldwide [1,2].The prevalence of HF is greatest among people aged 65 years or older and has been increasing with the growth of this demographic population [3-6]. Around 50% and 90% of patients with HF die within 5 and 10 years of diagnosis, respectively [1]. Total medical costs attributable to diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of HF in the developed countries are approximately 1% - 2% of the total health care expenditure [7-9]. In the United States, total costs for HF care are more than $39 billion annually [2].
PD06-10: Breast Cancer Patient Distress Associated with Difficulties Navigating the Costs Associated with Care: Results from a National Education Program.

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Abstract Compounding the stressors related with a diagnosis of breast cancer can be the associated direct and indirect costs of cancer care. To address this need, the Cancer Support Community (CSC) in 2009 developed an evidence-based, professionally-led national education workshop for cancer patients and caregivers entitled Frankly Speaking About Cancer: Coping with the Cost of Care. As part of this workshop, participants completed a survey describing their experiences coping with the cost of cancer care. To date, responses from 465 participants (representing 46 workshops) have been analyzed. Of those participants, 105 are women diagnosed with breast cancer. Though workshop participants were affected by a wide variety of cancer diagnoses, half of those with cancer attending the workshop (50%) were affected by breast cancer. No significant differences between breast cancer patients and individuals with other cancers were found. Analyses are based on responses from breast cancer patients only. Participants’ pre-workshop rating of their understanding about the financial aspects of their breast cancer care was low (m =2.8, s.d.=1.0) and was significantly less than their level of knowledge post-workshop (m =4.1, s.d.=0.7, p &lt;.05). Most attendees (72.8%) reported experiencing some degree of emotional distress from trying to manage cancer care costs, and nearly one-third of attendees (30.1%) reported significant distress. Most (64.8%) reported that their healthcare team did not discuss financial aspects of care with them. Of attendees whose team did discuss it with them, typically it was a social worker, physician, or nurse. Of those who had this discussion, only 34% reported that this information was actually useful to them. Not surprisingly then, attendees reported they have looked elsewhere for information about managing the costs of care, such as patient support organizations (40.2%), the Internet (43.5%), and other patients (41.3%). A positive to arise from the workshop is that most participants (69.9%) reported the intention to discuss financial aspects of their care with their healthcare team based on what they had learned from the workshop. Intention to have this discussion with their healthcare team was both positively correlated with having experienced emotional distress about the cost of their care (r=.29, p &lt;.05) as well as negatively correlated with their level of pre-workshop knowledge about financial issues in breast cancer care (r=-.28, p &lt;.05).Taken together, these data highlight significant obstacles that individuals face in receiving meaningful information relevant to managing the costs associated with cancer care.

Protein Fouling Characteristics of Graphene Oxide Membranes

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Advancing the knowledge of surfaces and protein interactions is paramount to development of non‐fouling membranes for many applications, particularly continuous blood flow wearable and implantable devices. Here, highly controlled experiments to understand the effect of graphene oxide (GO) surface properties on its protein adsorption are presented. A newly developed self‐assembly process is implemented to build a GO membrane with an atomically smooth surface to eliminate the effect of surface roughness on protein adsorption. The GO oxidation level is varied to change the overall membrane hydrophilicity while the nanoplatelets size and edge area is maintained constant. The fouling characteristics of the membrane are examined through scanning electron microscope imaging and long‐term water flux measurements. These measurements unambiguously prove that proteins are primarily adsorbed on the basal areas of nanoplatelets, on the graphitic regions, away from the nanoplatelets edges. As a result, while decreasing the oxidation level reduced the overall surface hydrophilicity leading to more protein adsorption, the membrane mass flux is minimally impacted. Studies on a polymer membrane under similar conditions show expansion of protein agglomerates over time leading to formation of large biofilm domains, while the GO nanoplatelets edges function as a barrier to formation of an expansive biofilm.
