Censoring model for evaluating intellectual capital value drivers

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between firms' value drivers and their intellectual capital (IC). Design/methodology/approach The health care sector (GICS 35) firms listed in the S&amp;P500 were used to build a research censoring Tobit model by adopting financial data to determine value drivers. Findings The results of the study show that innovation capital, customer capital and human capital are significant positive drive factors for firms to create more IC and hence more intangible value. Process capital exerts moderating effects on IC; organizations with greater process capital must raise customer capital to enhance intellectual value. Originality/value This is the first empirical study that uses a censoring Tobit model and tests of the association between competitive advantage and the value drivers of firms. This research successfully combines management perspectives with financial data to describe the value drivers of firms.

Mediating Native Swedish Sign Language: First Language in Gestural Modality Interactions at Storytime

This qualitative, longitudinal, single-case study analyzes naturalistic interactions in Swedish Sign Language. Multiple interactions took place mainly between a mother and a deaf twin on twelve occasions. The participants’ actions and language structure are examined as the child progressed from ten to forty months of age. The results are presented in three segments: transformations (i.e., types of actions during the sessions); gaze; and structure of utterances. The first segment (when the child was between ten and thirteen months of age) includes mediating utterances that contained a few signs with steady eye contact (i.e., focus on an object with mediating, displaced signing, as from the signer’s perspective). The second segment (when the child was between fifteen and twenty-four months of age) includes flexible eye contact, multiple phrases, and narrative structure. The third segment comprises conversations that include a dynamic visual contact utilizing nonmanual structures. Mediating factors such as simultaneous tactile looking, mediating vision, and mediating triangles, which may be useful for pedagogical purposes, are emphasized.

Intensive Care Nurses' Experiences With Personal Protective Equipment During The Covid-19 Pandemic in Turkey: A Phenomenological Study

<strong>Objective: </strong>This study aimed to investigate the experiences of intensive care nurses working with personal protective equipment (PPE) during the COVID-19 epidemic. <strong>Materials and Methods: </strong>The study group of the descriptive phenomenological study included 12 intensive care nurses selected with the purposeful sampling method. Collected through the semi-structured interviews, the data were coded with the MAXQDA program and evaluated with the content analysis method. The COREQ checklist was followed. <strong>Results:</strong> As a result of the research, two main themes emerged "What will happen to me" and "Me in PPE". Nurses primarily faced difficulties in accessing PPEs that would protect them. They experienced ambivalent feelings of anxiety, fear, and confidence regarding the protection of PPE. Some participants felt inadequate due to inadequate education regarding COVID-19 in the early stages of the pandemic. They failed to meet many physiological needs while using PPE. The hardships they endured made them feel angry with other people, and they perceived strict institutional rules on the use of PPE as pressure. <strong>Conclusion: </strong>This study provided information on the experiences of intensive care nurses who first started using PPEs and used them the longest. Intensive care nurses have been adversely affected physiologically and psychologically due to working with PPE for a long time and without adequate training. It should be evaluated whether the well-being of nurses is affected by the pandemic process, and psychological support should be provided accordingly. Strategies should be prepared and implemented to provide nurses with adequate equipment and guidance in a similar situation.

Spacing distribution in the two-dimensional Coulomb gas: Surmise and symmetry classes of non-Hermitian random matrices at noninteger<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mml:mi>β</mml:mi></mml:math>

A random matrix representation is proposed for the two-dimensional (2D) Coulomb gas at inverse temperature β. For 2×2 matrices with Gaussian distribution we analytically compute the nearest-neighbor spacing distribution of complex eigenvalues in radial distance. Because it does not provide such a good approximation as the Wigner surmise in 1D, we introduce an effective β_{eff}(β) in our analytic formula that describes the spacing obtained numerically from the 2D Coulomb gas well for small values of β. It reproduces the 2D Poisson distribution at β=0 exactly, that is valid for a large particle number. The surmise is used to fit data in two examples, from open quantum spin chains and ecology. The spacing distributions of complex symmetric and complex quaternion self-dual ensembles of non-Hermitian random matrices, that are only known numerically, are very well fitted by noninteger values β=1.4 and β=2.6 from a 2D Coulomb gas, respectively. These two ensembles have been suggested as the only two symmetry classes, where the 2D bulk statistics is different from the Ginibre ensemble.

Antioxidant, antimutagenic and antigenotoxic properties of Plectranthus species

Dichlomethane (DCM) and 90% methanol of sixteen Plectranthus species were investigated for antioxidant activity using the DPPH (2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl), ABTS (2, 2-azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline 6-sulfonate)) and FRAP (ferric reducing antioxidant power) assays. The Plectranthus species were also investigated for antimutagenicity using the Ames assay and antigenotoxicity using the vitotox assay. Dichloromethane extracts of Plectranthus barbatus, P. neochilus and P. argentatus, as well as 90 % methanolic extracts of Plectranthus caninus, P. fruticosus james and P. argentatus had the highest antioxidant activity in the DPPH assay. DCM extracts of P. amboinicus, P. montanus P. neochilus and P. madagascariensis had moderate to strong antimutagenicity in the Ames test at the highest concentration tested. In the vitotox assay, dichloromethane extracts of P. caninus, P. neochilus, P. ernstii, P. verticillatus, P. madagascariensis, P. montanus and the 90 % methanol extract of P. verticillatus were cytotoxic at the highest concentration tested. Of the 32 plant extracts investigated in this study, 68% showed better antioxidant activity than ascorbic acid (vitamin C), particularly in the DPPH and ABTS assays. Additionally, most plant extracts investigated in this study had antimutagenic properties against aflatoxin B1- induced mutagenicity in either the Ames or vitotox assay, or both, without a clear trend or correlation between antioxidant activity and antimutagenic properties.

Price and production trends in the marine fish aquaculture in Spain

The Spanish aquaculture sector has undergone a rapid and continuous growth becoming one of the biggest European producers. A wide range of species are farmed and, among them, the sea bass, sea bream and turbot make a significant contribution to the total of the Spanish fish farming output. In this paper, we analyse and predict the medium-term trend of the production and price level for the three leading species previously mentioned. The results obtained show a significant increase in the production of sea bream, sea bass and turbot. The results show also a slight decrease in the sea bream average price, a stable trends for the sea bass and increasing prices for the turbot.

On Strategic Community Development

This paper examines strategic behavior of developers who, through offering different congested public-good packages and revenue/fiscal schemes, compete for residents who are differentiated by income. There is an endogenous determination of numbers and sizes of communities. Developers have an incentive to strongly differentiate their public-good offerings. In terms of pricing strategies, developers exhibit sharply contrasting behaviors. In low-income communities, housing consumption is subsidized once lots are priced. In high-income communities housing consumption is generally taxed.

Effect of estradiol on biochemical bone metabolism markers in dairy cows

Biochemical markers of bone metabolism (BBM) are products of bone tissue formation and resorption that escape to blood and urine where we can measure them. Biochemical markers of bone tissue formation (for instance bone alkaline phosphatase (bALP)) are products of osteoblast activity and biochemical markers of bone tissue resorption (for instance C terminal telopeptide crosslinks of collagen 1 (CTx)) are by products of osteoclast activity. Markers of bone metabolism can indicate if bone metabolism is more anabolic, catabolic or in general more or less active (Allen, 2003; Christenson, 1997). In high producing dairy cows there are tremendous changes in Ca requirements in the so called transition period when cows go from dry period into lactation. We expect increased catabolic bone metabolism at the beginning of lactation as absorbable Ca demand suddenly increases from about 20 g to around 60 g or more per day in high yielding cows because of colostrum and milk production concurrent with a relatively low dry matter (nutrient) intake. A significant proportion of dairy cows are not successful in maintaining normocalcaemia at the beginning of lactation and they develop subclinical hypocalcaemia with all negative effects on health, welfare and production or progress toclinical hypocalcaemia, so called milk fever (Goff, 2000). BBM have been detected in dairy cattle (Filipovic et al., 2008; Holtenius and Ekelund, 2005; Iwama, 2004; Liesegang et al., 2000; Starič, 2012). Studies suggest that BBM can be used as a prepartum tool to predict if a cow is going to have milk fever after calving (Starič, 2010).

Electro-mechanical response of a 3D nerve bundle model to mechanical loads leading to axonal injury

Axonal damage is one of the most common pathological features of traumatic brain injury, leading to abnormalities in signal propagation for nervous systems. We present a 3D fully coupled electro-mechanical model of a nerve bundle, made with the finite element software Abaqus 6.13-3. The model includes a real-time coupling, modulated threshold for spiking activation and independent alteration of the electrical properties for each 3-layer fibre within the bundle. Compression and tension are simulated to induce damage at the nerve membrane. Changes in strain, stress distribution and neural activity are investigated for myelinated and unmyelinated nerve fibres, by considering the cases of an intact and of a traumatized nerve membrane. Results show greater changes in transmitting action potential in the myelinated fibre.

Antimicrobial Resistance and Novel Alternative Approaches to Conventional Antibiotics

Antimicrobial resistance is a significant public health issue. The unprecedented spread of antimicrobial-resistant organisms has been identified by the World Health Organization as one of the leading healthcare threats. Projections for annual worldwide deaths attributed to antimicrobial resistance approach 10 million by 2050, with an associated economic burden of USD 100 trillion. This paper reviews the mechanisms known to contribute to antimicrobial resistance and provides insight into potential available alternatives to conventional antibiotics. Antimicrobial approaches addressed include dual antibiotic therapy, antimicrobial peptides, monoclonal antibodies, bacteriophages, probiotics, nanomaterials, and cannabinoids. Key pathogens in need of antimicrobials referred to as the ESKAPE pathogens are discussed.

Predicting the Rate of 222Rn Entry from Soil into the Basement of a Dwelling Due to Pressure-Driven Air Flow

Abstract A combination of analytical and numerical methods is applied to the problem of computing 222Rn transport from soil into a dwelling having a basement. Transport is assumed to occur solely by pressure-driven air flow, and the basement shell is assumed to have a single dominant leak that is uniformly distributed around the perimeter at the level of the floor. The results show that for small flow rates of air through the soil, the radon entry rate into the basement increases in proportion to ?Po, the outdoor-indoor pressure difference at the soil level. For large flow rates, the entry rate increases only in proportion to ?Po2/3, due to depletion of radon concentration in the soil. A sample calculation indicates that via this transport mode, soil having ordinary 226Ra content and moderately high permeability can be responsible for indoor radon concentrations of the order of 500 Bq.m-3, greater than recommended guidelines for new housing.

Cognitive distortions and pathological gambling among Chinese youth

This study overviews Chinese youngsters’ fallacy regarding gambling, compares the illusory perceptions of control over gambling outcomes between problem gamblers and average Chinese youngsters and investigates the extent to which cognitive biases can predict pathological gambling. Scales for assessing irrational beliefs about gambling and tendencies to pathological gambling were administered to 801 Chinese students living in Hong Kong. The results indicate that the perceived intention to obtain desired outcomes, illusory control of the primary type and perceived loss of control over gambling behaviours serve as effective indicators of pathological gambling. In view of that, intervention strategies that zero in on cognitive distortions can constitute a pertinent approach for treating local problem gamblers.

Self-Efficacy and Perceived Control in the Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease

From the Theory of Planed Behaviour (TPB), the aim of this study is to analyse the effect of self-efficacy and perceived control on intention and preventive behaviours of cardiovascular disease. To this end, 359 participants were evaluated in an empirical study. Data were analysed using the statistical package EQS 6.1. The results indicate that self-efficacy has a positive and significant influence on behaviour intentions and on behaviour, while perception of control has a negative and significant influence on intention but not on behaviour. This work has shown the utility to distinguish between self-efficacy and perceived control in the TPB to prevent cardiovascular diseases

Mineralization of urea coated with nitrification inhibitors

A pot experiment with red, black and alluvial soils using ragi (Eleusine coracana) as a test crop was conducted with urea treated with sulphathiazol, neem oil, neem cake, mahua cake, coal tar extract and with lac coated urea and CDU. The urea was applied at 50 and 100 kg N/ha. The results of soil analysis at weekly intervals showed that the exchangeable NH4+ and NO3- decreased as crop growth advanced. N applied at 100 kg/ha gave the highest NH4+ and NO3- levels in the soil throughout the experiment. The maximum yield of ragi grain was recorded in the treatments which received urea treated with coal tar and mahua cake extracts

Coercion as a metaphor for computation

Consideration is given to a generalization of coercion that permits structured transformations between program and data structures. The nature of these coercions goes significantly beyond what is found in most modern programming languages. The intent is to develop a programming model that permits the expression of a wide range of superficially diverse modularity constructs within a simple and unified framework. The design of this model is based on the observation that a variety of program structures found in modern programming languages are represented fundamentally in terms of an environment. Given suitable transformations that map the environment representation of a program structure into a data object, it is possible to enable the programmer to gain explicit control over the naming environment. An investigation is made of the semantics of program/data coercion in the presence of a non-strict parallel evaluation semantics for environments. Parallelism and program/data coercion form an interesting symbiosis and it is the investigation of this interaction that forms the primary focus of this work.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>

MICROPROPAGATION OF PHALAENOPSIS SPP. BY SOMATIC EMBRYOGENESIS TECHNIQUE

Phalaenopsis spp. was regularly produced through micropropagation by protocorm like bodies (PLBs); micropropagation takes a lot of labor, and has high cost of seedlings, energy and material. The purpose of this paper was to study the new technique of using in vitro embryogenesis culturing for microprogation. The method involved using protocorm like bodies as planting materials. PLBs were cut into slices and placed on the medium for callus initiation. The callus was initiated on the medium MS + BA (0.1 mg/l) supplemented with NAA (1 mg/l) or 2,4D (1 mg/l) and was proliferated on the medium MS + BA (0.1 mg/l) supplemented with NAA (1 mg/l). Somatic cell suspensions were initiated and proliferated on the medium MS + BA (0.1 mg/l) supplemented with NAA (0.5, 1 mg/l). Somatic cell suspensions were differentiated to embryonic cell suspensions on the MS medium supplemented with NAA (0.1 mg/l) + BA (0.5 mg/l). Embryonic cell suspensions were plated and regenerated on the medium: 1/2MS supplemented with NAA (0.1 mg/l) + BA (0.5 mg/l). Micropropagation of Phalaenopsis sp. via the embryogenesis technique was set up to produce 5,800 plantlets per one liter of somatic embryogenesis suspension.

HPLC-HRMS-SPE-NMR for accelerated identification of compounds in complex plant extracts: New coumarine derivatives from Coleonema album (Thunb.) Bartl. &amp; Wendl

Hyphenation of high-performance liquid chromatography, high-resolution mass spectrometry, solid-phase extraction and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, i.e., HPLC-HRMS-SPE-NMR, has proven an effective technique for identification of compounds in complex matrices [1]. This even includes acquisition of direct-detected 13C NMR spectra [2], database-assisted dereplication of already known compounds [3], full structure elucidation of new compounds directly from crude extracts [4], and further hyphenation with bioactivity profiling [5]. The majority of HPLC-HRMS-SPE-NMR investigations reported so far have relied on reversed-phase C18 columns for separation, but here analyses were performed with a pentafluorophenyl column, as an orthogonal second separation step for pre-purified fractions of crude ethyl acetate extract of Coleonema album (Thunb.) Bartl. & Wendl. – a shrub growing in coastal areas of Cape Peninsula [6].
