Exploring the contextual dimensions of organization from knowledge management perspective

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the contextual dimensions of organizations for finding the interactions between of these dimensions and knowledge management (KM) and to identify the critical success factors, drivers and constraints, relevant to the implementation of KM in the Tehran business environment. The most research of KM merely pays attention to its relation with dimensions of the organizations especially contextual dimensions. Design/methodology/approach A new exploration based on research experiences of the KM is formalized as an extension of the model by Daft. The present article reports the empirical findings of a survey conducted among managers and experts in Tehran. In this survey we give them a questionnaire that contains some questions related to the mentioned dimensions and asked about relations of them and KM critical success factors for better implementation based on factor analysis. The questionnaire reflects insights gained from a mix of individual choice models developed by various researchers and Delphi technique. Findings This research finds seven critical success factors, Collaboration and knowledge workers, Technology Deployment, Learning Culture, Flat Structures, Supply Chain Integration, Comprehensive strategies and Flexible Organizations, which related to the conceptual Dimensions of organizations and also drivers and constraints of KM implementation. Research limitations/implications This framework reflects the interactions between contextual dimensions and KM. It may need further research to be used for structural dimensions of the organizations. Originality/value Using this research, organizations interested in implementing KM may be familiar with the impacts of KM implementation and contextual dimensions on each other for achieving the desirable outcomes.
Elevated testosterone reduces choosiness in female dark–eyed juncos (Junco hyemalis): evidence for a hormonal constraint on sexual selection?

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Because testosterone (T) often mediates the expression of attractive displays and ornaments, in the absence of constraints sexual selection should lead to an evolutionary increase in male T levels. One candidate constraint would be a genetic correlation between the sexes that leads to a correlated response in females. If increased T in females were to have deleterious effects on mate choice, the effect of sexual selection on male T would be weakened. Using female dark-eyed juncos (Junco hyemalis), we tested whether experimentally enhancing female T would lead to a decrease in discrimination between two classes of males, one treated with T (T-males) and one control (C-males). The two female treatments (T-implanted and C-females) spent equal amounts of time with both classes of males, but T-treated females failed to show a preference for either male treatment, whereas C-females showed a significant preference, albeit in an unexpected direction (for C-males). T-females were less discriminating than C-females, irrespective of the direction of their preference. To our knowledge, this is the first study to show that circulating hormones can alter female choosiness without reducing sexual motivation. Our results suggest that hormonal correlations between the sexes have the potential to constrain sexual selection on males.
The Influence of Family Dynamics on Contraceptive Use in Madagascar and the Ensuing Impact on Family Well-being

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

While studies have shown a relationship between family dynamics and contraceptive use and between contraceptive use and family well-being, no empirical study has been conducted to test whether a relationship exists between family influence on contraceptive use and family wellbeing. The objective of this study is to explore whether there is such a relationship between family influence on contraceptive use and family well-being.

Learning and Teaching in Early Childhood: Pedagogies of Inquiry and Relationships is an introduction for early childhood educators beginning their studies. Reflecting the fact that there is no single correct approach to the challenges of teaching, this book explores teaching through two lenses: teaching as inquiry and teaching as relating. The first part of the book focuses on inquiry, covering early childhood learning environments, learning theories, play pedagogies, approaches to teaching and learning, documentation and assessment, and the policy, curriculum and regulatory requirements in Australia. The second part explores relationships in early childhood contexts and covers topics such as fostering meaningful and respectful relationships with children, and working with families, staff and the wider community. Written by well-respected academics in the field, Learning and Teaching in Early Childhood is a vital resource for those entering the early childhood education and care profession.
Exploring the structural insights of trisubstituted isoxazoles against protozoal agents using QSAR and molecular docking model

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Abstract Leishmaniasis is one of the most well-known neglected infectious diseases, which is severe problem for public health. Heterocyclic derivatives are known to displays wide range of pharmacology activities including isoxazole ring that exhibit antileishmanial activity. In the given paper series of 59, 4-aminomethyl 5-aryl-3-substituted isoxazoles were used to identify the structural insights and to find the binding affinity with protein through quantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR) and docking approaches. The designed model produced statistically significant results with of R 2 = 0.72and Q 2 = 0.72. Most potent compound formed hydrogen bonds with active amino acidsArg 87, Arg 104, Gly 112, His 117, Gly 118 and Asp 120. Structure activity relationship (SAR) revealed that substitution of hydrophobic and steric groups may enhance the biological activity of compounds as antiprotozoal agents.The given strategies of computational studies could be an encouraging way for designing therapeutic targets against leishmaniasis.
Usage of Natural Resources in Textile Wet Processes

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Natural sources, whether plant-based or animal-based, are considered one of the richest sources that can be utilized in textiles field due to their renewable and sustainability. They are also environmentally friendly, non-toxic, and biodegradable. These natural sources contain numerous compounds that are beneficial for textile wet processing, such as dyeing and finishing. Examples of these compounds include flavonoids, organic acids. Purslane, tomato leaves, and bee propolis are from these natural sources. Previous studies have shown that the extracts from purslane and tomato leaves can be used in wool dyeing and to obtain various types of metal nanoparticles. Bee propolis can also be utilized in medical textile finishing, such as antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and in wound healing.

Non-Markovian quantum input-output networks

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Quantum input-output response analysis is a useful method for modeling the dynamics of complex quantum networks, such as those for communication or quantum control via cascade connections. Non-Markovian effects have not yet been studied in such networks. Here we extend the Markovian input-output network formalism developed in optical systems to non-Markovian cascaded networks which can be used, e.g., to analyze the input-output response of mesoscopic quantum networks. We use this formalism to explore the behavior of superconducting qubit networks, where we examine the effect of finite cavity bandwidths. We also discuss its application to open- and closed-loop control networks, and show how these networks create effective Hamiltonians for the controlled system.
Seagrass habitat of Cairns Harbour and Trinity Inlet: sediment seed bank analysis

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

An examination of the density of seagrass seeds and their viability was conducted in Cairns Harbour in July 2013. The assessment was conducted in response to large scale seagrass declines that have occurred over the past 4 years, to assess the likelihood of seeds continuing to provide a mechanism for future recovery of the meadows. Results of the survey found that: • Cairns Harbour still contained viable seeds of the foundation species Zostera capricorni and Halodule uninervis on the banks that previously supported large seagrass meadows • Seed density and viability of those seeds was considered low compared to the limited data for other meadows that have been studied in Queensland • It was likely that the seeds of both species that remained were at least 18 months old and it is unknown how much longer they would remain viable without replenishment. This study was commissioned as a proactive environmental management action by Ports North to improve the understanding of the ecological processes of Trinity Bay and to better inform and guide management of the port area. As this is the first detailed survey to assess seed viability within Trinity Bay, conclusions drawn from the collected data are based on an initial understanding of recovery dynamics within Trinity Bay seagrass habitats. Future investigations are recommended, and further information may become evident during the 2013-14 monitoring surveys which will assist in interpreting the findings of this study in the broader context of the status of Queensland's coastal seagrass resources.
Why are Native Herbs in the Chilean Matorral More Abundant Beneath Bushes: Microclimate or Grazing?

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

(1) Native perennial herbs in central Chile tend to be most abundant beneath bushes. This may be because the humid microclimate under bushes prevents desiccation (the absence of herbs from open spaces would then be explained by water stress), or it may be because herbivores which eat the herbs forage more in the areas between rather than under the bushes. (2) The problem was studied experimentally by removing half the canopy of eight individual bushes of the same species, and then preventing grazing of the herbs in one half of the removed section with an exclosure. This design allowed comparison of areas protected against desiccation and herbivores (the uncut half of the shrub), with areas protected against herbivores but not desiccation (inside the exclosure), and with unprotected areas exposed to both desiccation and grazing. (3) Results after 1 year showed that grazing (most likely by introduced rabbits) was the main cause of the scarcity of native herbs between bushes, and hence of their relative abundance beneath bushes.
The Variance Gamma++ process and applications to energy markets

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

Abstract The purpose of this article is to introduce a new Lévy process, termed the Variance Gamma++ process, to model the dynamics of assets in illiquid markets. Such a process has the mathematical tractability of the Variance Gamma process and is obtained by applying the self‐decomposability of the gamma law. Compared to the Variance Gamma model, it has an additional parameter representing the measure of the trading activity. We give a full characterization of the Variance Gamma++ process in terms of its characteristic triplet, characteristic function, and transition density. In addition, we provide efficient path simulation algorithms, both forward and backward in time. We also obtain an efficient “integral‐free” explicit pricing formula for European options. These results are instrumental to apply Fourier‐based option pricing and maximum likelihood techniques for the parameter estimation. Finally, we apply our model to illiquid markets, namely to the calibration of European power futures market data. We accordingly evaluate exotic derivatives using the Monte Carlo method and compare these values to those obtained using the Variance Gamma process and give an economic interpretation. Finally, we illustrate an extension to the multivariate framework.
Complete response in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer after neoadjuvant treatment with nivolumab

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Introduction: PD-1 inhibitors have been approved for the treatment of dMMR patients with metastatic colorectal cancer, but the efficacy of neoadjuvant treatment with PD-1 in dMMR locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) patients has not yet been defined. Patients and methods: Two patients with LARC received Nivolumab as neoadjuvant treatment in July 2017. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) and multiplex immunofluorescence analysis were performed. Results: Of the two patients, one achieved pathological complete response after six cycles of nivolumab followed by surgery. The other patient was confirmed to be clinical complete response after six cycles of nivolumab. "Watch and wait" strategy was performed for anal preservation. WES showed high tumor mutation burden. Multiplex immunofluorescence analysis showed immune microenvironment alternation between pretreatment specimen and post-treatment specimen. Conclusion: Neoadjuvant nivolumab induced complete response in both of the two patients with LARC. Immunotherapy might be an alternative strategy for neoadjuvant treatment for dMMR/MSI rectal cancer.
An exploration of the relationship between member openness and perceived organisational openness at a particular point in the co-operative lifecycle

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Co-operatives are essentially relational entities which are jointly co-created by members and the co-operative. This relational co-creation is particularly important in the founding years of the co-operative and at points of crisis and regeneration in the co-operative lifecycle. This paper explores the relationship between member openness towards relational engagement and their perception of the co-operative’s openness to that input (perceived openness) in a credit union context, prior to a major period of restructuring. Perceived openness is examined from two distinct perspectives, that is, awareness of right of involvement as owners (which in this paper we equated with co-operative member ownership structure) and possibility of involvement or perception of organisation openness (which in this paper we equated with co-operative process). It was found in the multivariate Logistic model that possibility rather than right of involvement is related to member openness. This suggests that the process of co-operation in a co-operative plays a greater role than the organisational structure of that co-operative in facilitating member input. This is a significant finding and suggests that greater attention needs to be given to process and openness in co-operative research and practice. It also suggests that co-operatives cannot just draw on their member ownership structure, in building member engagement at time of crisis.
ENDOCRINOLOGICAL ASPECTS AT FOLLOW‐UP STUDIES IN NEONATAL HYPOGLYCAEMIA

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

ABSTRACT: Fluge, G., Støa, K. F. and Aarskog, D. (Department of Paediatrics and Hormone Laboratory, University of Bergen, Bergen, Norway). Endocrinological aspects at follow‐up studies in neonatal hypoglycaemia. Acta Paediatr Scand, 64: 280, 1975.–Thirty‐seven cases of neonatal hypoglycaemia were studied at follow‐up at the age of 2 6/12 ‐ 4 9/12 years. Two of them had had hypoglycaemia after the newborn period, and another patient died in a hypoglycaemic state following surgery at 10 weeks of age. Twenty‐three children had oral glucose tolerance tests and intravenous insulin tolerance tests performed. Diabetic glucose tolerance was noted in 3 children. None of them showed symptoms of diabetes mellitus, neither was there any family history of diabetes. One of these patients had experienced hypoglycaemia after the newborn period and responded with hyperinsulinism during the glucose tolerance test. The other hypoglycaemic patient showed an exaggerated insulin release in response to tolbutamide. Deficient serum Cortisol response to insulin‐induced hypoglycaemia was demonstrated in 7 patients and 6 of these had concomitant minimal growth hormone response. One of these patients also had a diabetic glucose tolerance. None were of short stature. It is probable that a disturbance in the hypothalamic‐pituitary‐adrenal axis may contribute to an impaired carbohydrate metabolism in some patients with neonatal hypoglycaemia.

In 40.7% of them Staphylococcus epidermidis was found in the ejaculate next to other bacteria meant to be the cause of the inflammation of the genital tract in men. A comparison was made of the bacteria in the urine voided before ejaculation and in the cervix and vagina of the patients' views with the species in the semen.
The Association of Significant Depressive Symptoms on the Risk of Falls: A Prospective Cohort Study from the Health and Retirement Study.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Falls are one of the leading causes of injury-related morbidity and mortality among the older adult population. Medical costs attributable to falls is projected to increase as the population grows over the next decades. Depression is one of the most common neurological disorders experienced among older adults. Utilizing data from the Health and Retirement Study, this study investigated the association between significant depressive symptoms (SDS) on the risk of falls among individuals aged 65 and up. After adjusting for potential confounders, individuals with SDS had a 25% increased risk for incident falls when compared to individuals without SDS (risk ratio [RR] 1.25, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.22, 1.27). Both sex and BMI were found to be effect modifiers in the association of SDS on fall risk. This study suggests that depressive symptoms is a risk factor for falls, consistent with previous literature.
Mapping Isca: geophysical investigation of Priory Field, Caerleon

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

Report on geophysical and topographic surveys undertaken in 2006 of Priory Field, in the southwestern corner of the legionary fortress of Isca (modern Caerleon), in an area not previously subject to archaeological excavations or to significant development. The main objectives were to locate and identify the remains of buildings, and to investigate how this part of Caerleon had been used in the centuries since the Roman period. The results of the surveys indicate a clear plan of the arrangement of buildings in the southwestern part of the fortress, including eight centurial barrack blocks and three storage buildings, probably granaries. Part of a substantial courtyard building fronted by a large open space was also identified.
