Cultural and creative entrepreneurs: understanding the role of entrepreneurial identity
Year: 2018

The purpose of this paper is to explore whether and how entrepreneurs in the cultural and creative industries develop an entrepreneurial identity. It also aims to expand research on cultural and creative entrepreneurship.  The study is based on longitudinal qualitative cases and analyses the potential entrepreneurial identity development of eight cultural and creative entrepreneurs from Germany. The researchers create a framework to ascertain whether and, if so, how cultural and creative entrepreneurs develop an entrepreneurial identity.  The findings suggest that cultural and creative entrepreneurs do develop an entrepreneurial identity and incorporate their cultural and creative identity into that entrepreneurial identity whereas self reflection is a key driver in the development.  Cultural and creative entrepreneurs are a key driver of economic development. Hence, it is important to generate a more detailed understanding of their entrepreneurial mind set and their behaviour.  The study suggests that cultural and creative entrepreneurs actively develop an entrepreneurial identity and that self reflection, communication with other entrepreneurs and entrepreneurial experience are the main drivers of their identity development. Nevertheless, their cultural and creative identity does have an influence on their entrepreneurial identity. In addition, the study demonstrates how such entrepreneurs develop their identity.
DistB Condo: Distributed Blockchain Based IoT SDN Model for Smart Condominium
Venue: IEEE Access
Year: 2020

Condominium network refers to intra organization networks, where smart buildings or apartments are connected and share resources over the network. Secured communication platform or channel has been highlighted as a key requirement for a reliable condominium which can be ensured by the utilization of the advanced techniques and platforms like Software Defined Network (SDN) Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and Blockchain (BC) These technologies provide a robust, and secured platform to meet all kinds of challenges, such as safety, confidentiality, flexibility, efficiency, and availability. This work suggests a distributed, scalable IoT SDN with Blockchain based NFV framework for a smart condominium (DistB Condo) that can act as an efficient secured platform for a small community. Moreover, the Blockchain based IoT SDN with NFV framework provides the combined benefits of leading technologies. It also presents an optimized Cluster Head Selection (CHS) algorithm for selecting a Cluster Head (CH) among the clusters that efficiently saves energy. Besides, a decentralized and secured Blockchain approach has been introduced that allows more prominent security and privacy to the desired condominium network. Our proposed approach has also the ability to detect attacks in an IoT environment. Eventually, this article evaluates the performance of the proposed architecture using different parameters (e.g. throughput, packet arrival rate, and response time) The proposed approach outperforms the existing OF Based SDN. DistB Condo has better throughput on average, and the bandwidth (Mbps) much higher than the OF Based SDN approach in the presence of attacks. Also, the proposed model has an average response time of 5% less than the core model.

Systems approach is used to determine the types of disturbances arising in a linear pipe component during its functioning and their effect causing disruption of leakproofness of composite pipes. A physical model of the permeation process where the pipe wall is considered to be a porous medium penetrated by parallel capillaries is proposed and the results of estimation of the permeability of the wall of a nonequilibrium spiral screw wound composite pipe based on the leakproofness criterion are presented. The conceptual approaches to the solution of the problem of composite pipeline leakproofness are validated.
The influence of supply network structure on firm innovation
Year: 2014

In this study, we examine the structural characteristics of supply networks and investigate the relationship between a firm's supply network accessibility and interconnectedness and its innovation output. We also examine potential moderating effects of absorptive capacity and supply network partner innovativeness on innovation output. We hypothesize that firms will experience greater innovation output from (1) higher levels of supply network accessibility and supply network interconnectedness, (2) the interaction between the levels of these two structural characteristics, (3) the moderating role of absorptive capacity on supply network accessibility and the moderating role of supply network partner innovativeness on supply network interconnectedness. Supply network partner relationships are drawn in the context of the electronics industry using data from multiple sources. We use social network analysis to create measures for each supply network structural characteristic. Using regression techniques to test the relationship between these structural characteristics and firm innovation for a sample of 390 firms, our findings suggest that supply network accessibility has a significant association with a firm's innovation output. The results also indicate that interconnected supply networks strengthen the association between supply network accessibility and innovation output. Moreover, the influence of the two structural characteristics on innovation output can be enhanced by a firm's absorptive capacity and level of supply network partner innovativeness. By addressing the need for deeper structural analysis, this study contributes to supply chain research by accounting for the embedded nature of ties in supply networks, and showing how these structural characteristics influence the knowledge and information flows residing within a firm's supply network.
Blockchain and the Future of Digital Learning Credential Assessment and Management
Year: 2018

Blockchain educational technology has created assessment and management tools for learner credentials that are permanent, transparent and sustainable while giving users direct access. Personal encrypted credentials enable users to shape lifelong learning pathways and personalizes education according to individual values and needs. They allow for the permanent documentation of both formal and informal learning based on transversal competencies, adjustable across the economic sector and responsive to situational needs. Badging was the initial response to online credentialing. Mozilla's open digital badges have become the unofficial global standard and the specifications remain free. They may be viewed in e portfolios and social networks. Yet, if issuers cease hosting badges, they become invalid even when authentic. Some experiments with blockchain technology remedy this situation by creating a permanent, secure and sustainable infrastructure for learning records. The MIT Media Lab has produced the bitcoin based Blockcerts; whereas the Knowledge Institute, Open University, UK has developed Ethereum's Smart Contracts to document Microcredentials (Badges) Both are Open Source products. Most EU nations are experimenting with educational blockchain. The technology creates an infrastructure to document, store and manage credentials and provides learners with a sustainable record of achievements they can control. It also benefits universities by reducing administrative costs and bureaucracy.

GM crop technology use 1996 2018: farm income and production impacts
Venue: GM crops food
Year: 2020

This paper estimates the global value of using genetically modified (GM) crop technology in agriculture at the farm level. It follows and updates earlier studies which examined impacts on yields, key variable costs of production, direct farm (gross) income, and impacts on the production base of the four main crops of soybeans, corn, cotton, and canola. This updated analysis shows that there continues to be very significant net economic benefits at the farm level amounting to $18.9 billion in 2018 and $225.1 billion for the period 1996 2018 (in nominal terms) These gains have been divided 52% to farmers in developing countries and 48% to farmers in developed countries. Seventy two per cent of the gains have derived from yield and production gains with the remaining 28% coming from cost savings. The technology has also made important contributions to increasing global production levels of the four main crops, having, for example, added 278 million tonnes and 498 million tonnes, respectively, to the global production of soybeans and maize since the introduction of the technology in the mid 1990 s. In terms of investment, for each extra dollar invested in GM crop seeds (relative to the cost of conventional seed) farmers gained an average US $3.75 in extra income. In developing countries, the average return was $4.41 for each extra dollar invested in GM crop seed and in developed countries the average return was $3.24.
Impact of relative advantage, perceived website reputation trough trust and perceived website image in consumers attitudes towards online shopping of carousell in Surabaya
Year: 2019

In the current era, websites for selling online are rampant and are one of the fastest growing businesses in Indonesia and online buying and selling is believed to be part of the lives of people in Indonesia. Competing to give the best, expanding from quality, price and giving discounts can be the current trend in the world online. Competing with innovation and tradition, each business can open their stores online anytime, anywhere. However, with the large number of competitors and the increasingly fierce competition, entrepreneurs, especially website based platforms, must have a strategy to reap the greatest possible profits and also to survive as long as possible in the market, and also to have many customers The population of this study was to visit the Carousell website and conduct a minimum transaction of 2x and located in Surabaya. The sampling used in this research is nonprobability sampling and sampling is using purposive sampling technique. The sample amounted to 170 respondents. The data analysis technique used in the study is SEM (structural equation modeling) using the application Lisrel. The test results show that the relative customer advantage has an influence on the perceived website reputation, perceived website image, and trust. Perceived website reputation has an influence on the perceived website image, and does not depend on trust. Trust and perceived website image have positive influence on attitudes. In this research, there are suggestions that can be given by the researcher, namely that the Carousell website can continue to maintain the quality of the website and to provide convenience for transactions. As academic advice, it is expected that subsequent research uses other variables such as promotion, re purchase intention, purchase intention.
Morning cortisol levels in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder: A meta analysis
Venue: Psychoneuroendocrinology
Year: 2014

Increased peripheral levels of morning cortisol have been reported in people with schizophrenia (SZ) and bipolar disorder (BD) but findings are inconsistent and few studies have conducted direct comparisons of these disorders. We undertook a meta analysis of studies examining single measures of morning cortisol (before 10 a.m. levels in SZ or BD, compared to controls, and to each other; we also sought to examine likely moderators of any observed effects by clinical and demographic variables. Included studies were obtained via systematic searches conducted using Medline, BIOSIS Previews and Embase databases, as well as hand searching. The decision to include or exclude studies, data extraction and quality assessment was completed in duplicate by LG, SM and AS. The initial search revealed 1459 records. Subsequently, 914 were excluded on reading the abstract because they did not meet one or more of the inclusion criteria; of the remaining 545 studies screened in full, included studies were 44 comparing SZ with controls, 19 comparing BD with controls, and 7 studies directly comparing schizophrenia with bipolar disorder. Meta analysis of SZ (N=2613, g=0.387, p=0.001) and BD (N=704, g=0.269, p=0.004) revealed moderate quality evidence of increased morning cortisol levels in each group compared to controls, but no difference between the two disorders (N=392, g=0.038, p=0.738) Subgroup analyses revealed greater effect sizes for schizophrenia samples with an established diagnosis (as opposed to 'first episode' those that were free of medication, and those sampled in an inpatient setting (perhaps reflecting an acute illness phase) In BD, greater morning cortisol levels were found in outpatient and non manic participants (as opposed to those in a manic state) relative to controls. Neither age nor sex affected cortisol levels in any group. However, earlier greater increases in SZ morning cortisol were evident in samples taken before 8 a.m. (relative to those taken after 8 a.m. Multiple meta regression showed that medication status was significantly associated with morning cortisol levels in SZ, when the effects of assay method, sampling time and illness stage were held constant. Heightened levels of morning cortisol in SZ and BD suggest long term pathology of the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis that may reflect a shared process of illness development in line with current stress vulnerability models.

Curcumin analogues and derivatives with anti proliferative and anti inflammatory activity: Structural characteristics and molecular targets
Venue: Expert opinion on drug discovery
Year: 2019

Curcumin (Diferuloylmethane) is a natural phenolic compound, which belongs to the curcuminoid family, presenting pleiotropic activity and low bioavailability. A lot of recent research is focused on the design and synthesis of curcumin analogs as antiproliferative and anti inflammatory agents improving the bioavailability and target selectivity. Their structural characteristics and functional groups seem to define the extent of the biological activity.  (2008 2018) describing curcumin analogs and curcumin derivatives are analyzed. Structural characteristics, functional groups, modelling studies, structure activity relationships, biological evaluation in vitro/in vivo as antiproliferative and anti inflammatory agents are included. Furthermore, a wide range of biological results derived from different targets are also summarized.  Several curcumin analogs and derivatives appear to have a high biological impact as well as promising antiproliferative and anti inflammatory activities. Their clinical evaluation will be critical to assess therapeutic utility. Compounds for which the mechanism of action is well defined can serve as lead compounds for the design of new more potent molecules.
The Proanthocyanidin Rich Fraction Obtained from Red Rice Germ and Bran Extract Induces HepG2 Hepatocellular Carcinoma Cell Apoptosis
Venue: Molecules
Year: 2019

This study aims to determine the anti carcinogenic effects of the proanthocyanidin rich fraction (PRFR) obtained from red rice germ and bran extract on HepG2 cells. The PRFR obtained from red rice germ and bran extract could reduce the cell viability of HepG2 cells as shown by the IC50 value at 20 ug/mL. Notably, PRFR concentrations at 20 and 40 ug/mL significantly increased the number of cells in the G2/M phase from 25.7% 1.4% in the control group to 36.2% 3.4% (p 0.01) and 48.9% 2.6% (p 0.0001) respectively, suggesting that the cells were arrested in this phase, which was confirmed by the reduction of survival proteins, including cyclin B1 and cdc25. Moreover, the PRFR at 20 and 40 ug/mL could induce cell death via the apoptosis cascade, indicated by the percentage of total apoptotic cells from 9.9% 3.1% in the control group to 41.1 3.9 (p 0.0001) and 82.2% 5.8% (p 0.0001) respectively. This was clarified by increasing apoptotic proteins (such as cleaved PARP 1, cleaved caspase 8 and cleaved caspase 3) and decreasing anti apoptotic protein survivin without p53 alterations. These results demonstrated that the PRFR obtained from red rice germ and bran extract could inhibit cell proliferation and induce cell apoptosis in HepG2 cells via survivin, which could potentially serve as a new target for cancer therapeutics making it an excellent "lead candidate" molecule for in vivo proof of concept studies.
How Will the Future of Work Shape the OSH Professional of the Future? A Workshop Summary
Venue: International journal of environmental research and public health
Year: 2020

Rapid and profound changes anticipated in the future of work will have significant implications for the education and training of occupational safety and health (OSH) professionals and the workforce. As the nature of the workplace, work, and the workforce change, the OSH field must expand its focus to include existing and new hazards (some yet unknown) consider how to protect the health and well being of a diverse workforce, and understand and mitigate the safety implications of new work arrangements. Preparing for these changes is critical to developing proactive systems that can protect workers, prevent injury and illness, and promote worker well being. An in person workshop held on February 3 4, 2020 at The University of Texas Health Science Center (UTHealth) School of Public Health in Houston, Texas, USA, examined some of the challenges and opportunities OSH education will face in both academic and industry settings. The onslaught of the COVID 19 global pandemic reached the United States one month after this workshop and greatly accelerated the pace of change. This article summarizes presentations from national experts and thought leaders across the spectrum of OSH and professionals in the fields of strategic foresight, systems thinking, and industry, and provides recommendations for the field.
Friendship or vicarious relationship? Exploring the intricacies faced by basic sciences in integrated curricula
Year: 2019

In response to the evolving needs and reports on medical education, many medical schools have been pursuing curricular integration. Contrary to Abraham Flexner who persuaded that teaching of medical sciences, from basic to clinical, should be a critical component of the discipline based curriculum, 'integration' in its purest sense unifies separate areas of knowledge which quenches the needs of adult learners. However, most medical schools struggle with integrating their curricula owing to the confusion derived from diverse definitions and multiple learning theories. A common criticism of integrated curriculum is that students will not see the relevance of basic sciences and this significantly minimizes the role of basic sciences in medical education. The crux of integration is achieving the balance of clinical and basic sciences in a manner that best serves the student to maximize student engagement and knowledge retention. In this paper, we made an attempt to address the contextual issues existing in medical schools, the changing role of basic sciences in present day medical education and the optimal strategy to achieve effective integration of basic sciences. We propose that a dynamic interconnectedness happening at various levels is more important to achieve effective integration rather than mere deliberate unification of individual disciplines.
