This paper discusses the notions of “entrepreneurialism” and enterprising
culture. In particular, it examines the significance of such discourses on the
contemporary workplace and consequent impact on the individual worker’s
identity and behaviour. Previous studies on Knowledge-Intensive Firms suggest
that organisations are not entirely synonymous with post bureaucratic organisations,
but mainly overlap it. It is revealed that majority of firms rely on “cultural
or professional forms of control”...

Special Relativity Theory (SRT) is from time to time subject to critical
assaults. There are several logically deduced discrepancies inherent in SRT
(paradoxes) which demand a scrupulous examination. In this paper a new thought
experiment, including two frames of reference is presented. Two trains are hurtling
in opposite directions past one another in a symmetrical manner, but substantially
asymmetrical events occur. This consideration leads to a contradiction in the
notion of “relativity of si...

Much empirical research confirms that foreign enterprises are more
efficient than domestic ones in the context of developing countries. However,
while most studies support the hypothesis that foreign ownership participation
increases performance of firms in terms of productivity and efficiency, some
works find no differences, leading to a controversy on this issue. This study
was designed to investigate and examine technological diffusion via FDI
enterprises in manufacturing sector in Vietnam ov...

A field experiment was conducted in 2013 and 2014 cropping seasons at the
Research and Teaching Farms of the Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental
Sciences, University of Gadarif, to evaluate the effect of different rates of
chicken manure on the growth and yield of jute mallow. The experiment consisted
of four levels of chicken manure viz; 0, 5, 10, and 20 t/ha. The treatments
were arranged in a randomized complete block design with three replicates. The
results showed that increasing chick...

I propose a phenomenological model for the decay of black holes near
Planck mass. The decay takes place via a quantum state between general
relativity and a grand unified field theory like SO(10). This group is favored
also by a no-scale SUGRA GUT model for Starobinsky inflation by other authors.

Extending the general linear model to the linear mixed model takes into
account the within-subject correlation between observations with introduction
of random effects. Fixed covariance structures of random error and random
effect are assumed in linear mixed models. However, a potential risk of model
selection still exists. That is, if the specified structure is not appropriate
to real data, we cannot make correct statistical inferences. Joint modelling
method removes all specifications about co...

Introduction: Ascariasis
by Ascaris lumbricoides is a
cosmopolitan disease. Biliary ascariasis is unusual in our country. We report a
case of biliary ascariasis revealed by biliary colic. Observation: A
22-year-old woman with no particular history was received for biliary colic
associated to vomiting without fever or bowel disorders. On examination, there
were pain and defense at the right upper quadrant and a Murphy sign. Moreover,
the clinical examination was normal. Blood cells count, ...

Hepatic myelopathy (HM) is a rare neurological complication of chronic
liver disease, causing progressive spastic paraplegia or quadriplegia in the
extremities with minimal sensory or sphincter impairment. In this article, the
authors present one additional case with HM, with an exceptional clinical
picture of painful tonic spasms within both thighs as the main complaint. A reduction in pain coinciding with a
reduction in spasticity from treatments such as baclofen suggests a causal
relat...

This study aimed to determine the factors underlying grade four senior
high school (G4SHS) students’ Islamic orientation and compare them with those
of pilgrims who visited and prayed in Imam Reza Shrine in Mashhad, Iran. To
this end the 44-sentence Islamic Orientation Scale (IOS) developed by Khodadady
and Bagheri [1] was administered to 453 students. The subjection of the data to
Principal Axis Factoring and Varimax with Kaiser Normalization showed that
eight factors underlie the scale, i.e...

In water, removing excessive amounts of phosphorus
is necessary to prevent eutrophication. Phosphorus can be seen usually in the form of organic phosphate and
inorganic phosphate in surface waters and wastewater. Phosphates are one of the
main materials of many factories and industries and it is a major factor in the
development and control of water resources eutrophication. The purpose of this
study is the survey of potential use of red Pumice Stone of western Azerbaijan
region and its Mo...
