This study entitled the influence of corporate governance mechanism on firm value with intellectual capital disclosure as an intervening variable. This study aims to examine the direct and indirect effect of board size, gender diversity, educational background, block holder ownership, and foreign ownership both simultaneously and partially on intellectual capital disclosure and firm value. This study examines the mediating effect of intellectual capital disclosure in the relationship between corporate governance mechanism and firm value. This study used the companies included in intellectual capital intensive industries in Indonesia Stock Exchange as the sample for 2017-2019. The sampling technique used in this study was purposive sampling, with 243 data from 81 companies. Analysis techniques used in this study were statistic descriptive, multiple regression, and path analysis used SPSS 23 for windows. The hypothesis testing results show that corporate governance mechanisms simultaneously influence intellectual capital disclosure (ICD) and firm value. Partially, only board size influences both ICD and substantial value, and educational background only influences strong value. The Sobel test shows that ICD doesn't mediate the effect of all variables related to corporate governance mechanism on firm value.

The physiologic role of L-selectin shedding is unknown. Here, we investigate the effect of L-selectin shedding on firm adhesion and transmigration. In a tumor necrosis factor α–induced model of inflammation, inhibition of L-selectin shedding significantly increased firm adhesion and transmigration by a lymphocyte function–associated antigen (LFA)-1 and intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1–dependent mechanism. We examined the quality of leukocyte rolling and L-selectin–mediated signaling. Blockade of L-selectin shedding significantly reduced the “jerkiness” of leukocyte rolling, defined as the variability of velocity over time. A low level of jerkiness was also observed in the rolling of microbeads conjugated with L-selectin, a model system lacking the mechanism for L-selectin shedding. Inhibition of L-selectin shedding potentiated activation of LFA-1 and Mac-1 induced by L-selectin cross-linking as shown by activation epitope expression and binding of ICAM-1–conjugated beads. We conclude that inhibition of L-selectin shedding increases leukocyte adhesion and transmigration by (a) increasing leukocyte exposure to the inflamed endothelium by decreasing jerkiness and (b) promoting leukocyte activation by outside-in signaling. These observations help to resolve the apparent discrepancy between the minor contribution of L-selectin to rolling and the significant leukocyte recruitment defect in L-selectin knockout mice.

Using a data set of insurers operated in the U.S. property and liability (P-L) insurance market during the sample period, this study examines the interactions between firm growth and profitability. Dynamic panel regressions are conducted to investigate its relationship and other factors in the growth and profit equations. Regression models include firm specific variables and industry cycle variables to control and deliver a better estimation. The results of this study show that past profits have a major impact on future profits, thereby supporting that profits continue to be generated in the P-L insurance sector. The findings are consistent with two additional profit measures. Additionally, this research finds that lagged growth is benefitting present profit, specifically assessed by ROE. The growth model shows a positive association between lagged profit and current growth. This study further demonstrates how quickly smaller-sized businesses expand in this market. Other firm characteristics are identified in the profit and growth models as well.

Cultivars of fresh market peaches (Prunus persica, L. Batsch) vary in the duration for maximum yields in the shipping stage (firm ripe) from once-over harvests. A cultivar having many firm ripe fruit with few green and over ripe at a given time has a narrow maturity range. It can be picked fewer times, facilitate mechanical once-over harvests and reduce spray costs. Fruit were harvested from small trees or scaffold branches of large trees at 2- to 3-day intervals as once-over harvests on 4 dates to estimate maturity range and duration of the maximum firm ripe fruit. Fruit of 3 cultivars were graded by color into maturity stages: 1) green, 2) firm ripe, and 3) over ripe. `Loring' had 82% firm ripe sorted in the 1st 3 harvests in 1987 and 1988. `Redskin' had 83% firm ripe in the 2nd and 3rd harvests in 1987. `Redglobe' had 85% marketable in the 2nd and dropped to 75% in the 3rd harvest in 1987. `Redhaven' had about 80% firm ripe in the 1st 3 harvests in 1988. Results indicate that the duration of narrow maturity ranges of `Loring' and `Redhaven' would permit them to be harvested over about 5 days with high yieids in the firm-ripe stage.

Investigating a range of commonly asserted characteristics relating to British family firms, this study concluded that, although they retained ownership and control and did not adopt mass-production, no persuasive evidence was found to suggest that the family managers of L. Gardner and Sons behaved unprofessionally or irrationally during the first eighty-seven years of the firm?s existence. Analysed from the perspective of markets and workplace industrial relations, it was found that the Gardner family managers coped reasonably well with most of the macroenvironmental shifts that occurred between 1955 and 1975. However, two serious errors were made: the first, which caused a short-term loss of revenue and a long-term loss of market leadership, was a result of negligence, the second stemmed from an outdated authoritarian approach to industrial relations that resulted in intense discord in the workplace, alleviated only after the management was replaced by a more astute and enlightened regime. A third error occurred after Gardner was sold to Hawker Siddeley, a large British industrial group, in 1977. Based on a perception that Gardner's plant was outdated, the new owners invested in expensive computer controlled manufacturing systems, and increased the volume of subcontracted components, strategies that caused disruptions to production schedules, eroded quality standards, and failed to improve output. As a result, Gardner's superlative reputation for reliability and service became tarnished and its market share plummeted. In 1986, when mounting trading losses became unacceptable, the firm was sold-on to a competitor and production effectively ceased. This thesis asserts that, as a family firm, Gardner traded profitably and provided incomes for thousands of employees for more than a century. Moreover, the sale to Hawker Siddeley conferred wealth on the family shareholders and financial security on their descendents. Gardner was not therefore, a failure either between 1898 and 1955, or before 1978.

De plus en plus d‟entreprises de taille moyenne à Identité Organisationnelle Socialement Responsable (IOSR) ont été récemment acquises par des multinationales. Ce phénomène est notamment illustré par les achats de Body Shop par L'Oréal, de Stonyfield Farm par le Groupe Danone et de Ben & Jerry's par Unilever. Cette thèse part du postulat que l‟IOSR est une ressource précieuse, rare et tacite (Barney, 1986; 1991) que les multinationales souhaitent capter par le biais de fusions-acquisitions. Si l'impact d'une fusion-acquisition sur les pratiques des parties prenantes des entreprises cibles et acquéreuses a été étudié d‟un point de vue quantitatif (Waddock & Graves, 2006), il n'existe en revanche aucune étude sur le phénomène du point de vue de l'identité organisationnelle, et plus particulièrement du point de vue de l‟IOSR. La partie empirique de la thèse prend appui sur l'étude du cas de l'acquisition de la firme Ben & Jerry‟s Ice Cream, pionnier en matière de RSE par la multinationale Unilever. L‟ambition est de comprendre l‟impact de cette acquisition sur l‟IOSR de Ben & Jerry's, et plus particulièrement, les facteurs qui peuvent contribuent à la résilience de l‟IOSR d‟une entreprise. En partant de la littérature sur la responsabilité sociale de l‟entreprise et l‟identité organisationnelle, il est proposé un nouveau modèle de l‟IOSR qui articule trois éléments : le discours managérial, les manifestations et actions visibles de l‟entreprise en matière de responsabilité sociale et, enfin, les perceptions des membres de l'organisation de la responsabilité sociale de leur entreprise. La première partie s‟appuie sur une approche plus «objective» en procédant à une analyse longitudinale de l'évolution du discours managérial («identité projetée») et des artefacts organisationnels («identité manifestée"). Les résultats de cette partie montrent que le départ des fondateurs des fonctions dirigeantes de l‟entreprise et l‟arrivée de managers professionnels ont eu plus d'impact sur les Identités Projetée et Manifestée de l‟entreprise que l'acquisition elle-même. La deuxième partie de l‟étude adopte une perspective plus subjective et interprétative pour appréhender les perceptions des salariés de leur organisation. Les résultats de cette partie révèlent qu'il existe de multiples perspectives sur ce qui constitue la nature et le contenu d'une IOSR, remettant ainsi en question la notion d'une identité monolithique de l'organisation.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
Founded in 1879 by John L. Hinners, the Hinners Organ Company developed a number of stock models of small mechanical-action instruments that were advertised throughout the Midwest. Operating without outside salesmen, the company was one of the first to conduct all of its affairs by mail, including the financial arrangements, selection of the basic design, and custom alterations where required. Buyers first met a company representative when he arrived by train to set up the crated instrument that had been shipped ahead of him. Tracker organs with hand-operated bellows were easily repaired by local craftsmen, and were suited to an area that, for the most part, lacked electricity. In all, the company constructed nearly three thousand pipe organs during its sixty years of operation. Rapid decline of the firm began in the decade prior to 1936 during which the company sold fewer than one hundred instruments, and closed in that year when John's son Arthur found himself without sufficient financial resources to weather the lengthy depression. The studies of the original-condition Hinners organs in the Dakotas include extensive photographs and measurements, and provide an excellent cross section of the smaller instruments produced by the company. They are loud, excellently crafted, functionally attractive, tonally typical of the early twentieth-century American Romantic organ, and utilize designs and materials typical of this era. Only recently has it been acknowledged that these Hinners organs represent a "meat and potatoes" class of instrument, as it were, an honest meal without the pretense of delicate appetizers, vintage wine, and gourmet dessert. In this way the company offered churches a serviceable and respectable musical alternative to grandeur, and was able to fulfill the needs and meet the budget of a small congregation without the expense of a custom instrument.

Après une introduction générale et un survey de littérature, l’apport de cette thèse est d’établir un lien entre le marché des biens et le marché de travail et de proposer un système légal optimal pour dissuader les comportements opportunistes au sein de l’entreprise. Tout au long de la thèse, le cadre d’analyse utilisé est le cas d’un monopole qui produit deux types de biens. Les consommateurs sont hétérogènes selon leurs préférences à la qualité. Le chapitre 2 analyse différentes structures d’agence afin de déterminer la meilleure structure qui permet à la fois de maximiser le profit de l’entreprise et de maximiser le bien-être des consommateurs et des employés. Le chapitre 3 examine la distorsion de la qualité des biens et du niveau d’effort des employés en asymétrie d’information avec sélection adverse sur le marché des biens et le marché de travail par rapport à l’information parfaite. Le chapitre 4 étend le chapitre 3 en étudiant la même problématique avec un problème d’aléa-moral sur le marché de travail en présence d’une collusion entre le superviseur et l’employé. Ce chapitre questionne le rôle du consommateur et du juge à dissuader cette forme de comportement opportunisteAfter a general introduction and a survey of literature, the contribution of this thesis is to establish a link between the goods market and the labor market and to propose optimal legal system to deter opportunistic behavior within the company. Throughout the thesis, we consider a monopoly that produces two types of good. Consumers are heterogeneous according to their preferences to quality. Chapter 2 analyzes different agency structures to determine the best structure that allows both to maximize the profit of the company and maximize the welfare of consumers and employees. Chapter 3 examines distortion of the quality of goods and the level of the workers’ effort with adverse selection on the goods market and the labor market compared with perfect information. This chapter examines the role of the consumer and the judge to discourage this kind of opportunistic behavior.Keywords: Quality of goods, quality of labor, optimal contract, portfolio of contract, opportunism, collusion, social welfare, optimal sanctions, firm design, law and economics

Abstract It is known that, under existing guaranty fund regulation, insurers are not punished for their over risk-taking behaviors (Cummins, 1988; Brewer et al., 1996). However, in real world, insurers are found to be self-disciplined from over risk-taking possibly due to several reasons. Among them, franchise value and regulatory pressure are known as two critical incentives, which drive a P/L insurer to be conservative in its capital and assets allocation decisions. They both had been investigated by several previous studies, respectively. The first purpose of this paper is to develop a financial option-based valuation model by accounting for the effect of franchise value and regulatory pressure based on the Average Option pricing model; so that we can examine the ambiguous capital and risk decisions for a P/L insurance firm more realistically. The second purpose of this paper is to test the regulatory pressure hypothesis, franchise value hypothesis. The last analysis of this paper is to integrate the analysis of the effects of franchise value and regulatory pressure on risk taking behavior. We investigate the ambiguous relationship between franchise value and regulatory pressure, thus conclude if there are any substitution, complementary, or coexistence effects between the two devices. We include the distribution and ownership forms of insurers, insurers’ financial specifications, standardized RBC ratio, and franchise value as the principal explanatory variables. The empirical findings indicate that the insurers with high regulatory pressure increase more capital and decrease more their asset risk and product risk than insurers with low regulatory pressure, therefore we see that the higher regulatory pressure to an insurer, a larger influence, in term of standardized RBC, appear on insurers’ capital, asset and product risks, as well as a faster adjustment in capital level and portfolio risk. Insurers with high regulatory pressure try to rebuild an appropriate capital buffer by raising capital and lowering asset risk and product risk In contrast, insurers with low regulatory pressure try to maintain their capital buffer by increasing risk when capital increase. Hence, our empirical results support regulatory pressure hypothesis. However, the empirical findings of franchise value hypothesis display that the insurers with high franchise value hold less capital and more asset risk and product risk as franchise value is increasing. Insurers with high franchise value are faster adjustment in capital level and slower adjustment in product risk than insurers with low franchise value. There are indifferent adjustment in asset risk between insurers with high franchise value and insurers with low franchise value. Insurers with low franchise value try to rebuild an appropriate capital buffer by raising capital and lowering asset risk and product risk In contrast, insurers with high franchise value try to maintain their capital buffer by increasing risk when capital increase. In sum, our empirical results don’t support franchise value hypothesis. The last analysis of this paper is to integrate the analysis of the effects of franchise value and regulatory pressure on risk taking behavior. There is coexistence relationship between RBC regulatory pressure and franchise value on restraining risk-taking behaviors, but the impact effect of RBC regulatory pressure on restraining risk-taking is larger than the impact effect of franchise value on restrain risk-taking after implementing RBC regulatory. Key words: regulatory pressure hypothesis, franchise value hypothesis, risk-taking behavior, risk-based capital, capital structure, average option pricing model

In literature review, a lot of research has focused on P/L insurance strategies in the field of P/L insurance industry, mostly with qualitative analysis through interview. In this study, the relationship between perceived risks and customer satisfaction, which reflected the effect of customer perceived risk on customer behavior and response, was investigated. In addition, in the era of multiple channels, P/L insurance companies need to choose appropriate channel in order to reduce the perceived risks of P/L customers. Thus, the present study examined the relationship among marketing channels, customer perceived risks, customer satisfaction, and renew insuring intensity. In addition to the exploration of the effect of marketing channels on perceived risks, the effect of customer satisfaction and renew insuring intensity were also investigated. The participants in the study were customers of a P/L insurance company in Kaohsiung and Pingtung. The data were collected from randomly sampling questionnaires and interviews with the customers in the branch of the P/L insurance company in Kaohsiung and Pingtung. Totally 400 questionnaires were distributed, and 380 of them were returned. Among the 380 questionnaires, 354 of them were valid. Therefore, the return rate of the valid questionnaires was 93.14％. The study adopted factor analysis, chi-square test, one-way ANOVA and regression analysis to examine the relationship between the variables. The results indicated: 1. The relationship between demographic variables and marketing channels: vocation, and average monthly income had significant effect on customer's selection of different marketing channels. 2. The relationship between marketing channels and perceived risks: marketing channels had significant effect on the customers. It was found that it differentiated the customers' images on the "product functionality and financial perceived risks" and "convenience perception risks" for customers purchasing P/L insurance through different marketing channels. 3. The relationship between customer perceived risks and customers: negative correlation relationship was found between perceived risks and customer satisfaction. In addition, for customer perceived risks, "product functionality and financial perceived risks" was negatively correlated with customer satisfaction. 4. Customer satisfaction was positively correlated with insuring intensity.

This study analyzes the risks affecting the managerial process of the banking sector and the corresponding strategies. The study addresses the incentives pay in banks, namely bonus, stock and options. A comparative study of stock and options is made in chapter 3, based on the John, Saunders and Senbet (2000) and Stoughton and Wong (2003) models; and chapter 4 compares the risk related advantages of using bonus and options in managerial pay, based on the Cerasi and Oliviero (2015) model. Chapter 5 analyzes the managerial pay in 46 of the world's 100 largest banks in early 2017 based on their reports from FY2005 and FY2015.
The results indicate options as an important variable that helps optimizing the volume of incentives, in addition to their incentivizing role for managers, although all incentives have been very few used. Concerning the risk related advantages of using bonus and options, bonuses require additional shareholders’ inspection to the manager's activities that allows immediate intervention in order to reverse harmful effects of poor performance, while options establish an alignment of interests between the parties; bonuses have a lowering effect of the shareholders’ income expectations while options do not; and bonuses create a pressure on the manager and threat him(her) to eviction, while options create safety conditions for the manager to act in a relaxed, however responsible and independent way.
Concerning the empirical study, the incentives were very less used, thus not fully validating the models. The model results were about 50% close to the actual ones.Este estudo analisa os riscos que afectam o processo de gestão do setor bancário e as correspondentes estratégias.

Um estudo comparativo de acções e opções é feito no capítulo 3, em busca do seu ponto de equilíbrio, baseado no modelo de John, Saunders e Senbet (2000), conjugado com o de Stoughton e Wong (2003); o capítulo 4 compara as vantagens relacionadas ao risco do uso de bônus e opções, baseado no modelo de Cerasi e Oliviero (2015). O capítulo 5 analisa o pagamento dos executivos de 46 dos 100 maiores bancos do mundo em inícios de 2017, com base nos seus relatórios dos Anos Fiscais de 2005 e de 2015, e mede o nível de uso de incentivos, nomeadamente, bônus, ações e opções. As conclusões deste estudo indicam que opções são uma variável importante para a optimização do volume dos incentivos, para além do seu papel incentivador para os gestores e de outras utilidades. Em relação às vantagens relacionadas ao risco de usar bônus e opções, bónus requer inspecção adicional dos accionistas aos gestores, tem efeito redutor das expectativas de lucro dos accionistas e cria pressão sobre os gestores, enquanto as opções têm efeito contrário, com resultados semelhantes ou ainda melhores. Em relação ao estudo empírico, os incentivos aqui aflorados foram muito pouco utilizados, o que dificultou a validação robusta dos modelos propostos. Os resultados dos modelos estiveram próximos dos reais em cerca de metade dos casos.

The time we are living in can be considered an era of the revolution of technology and
increasing interconnectedness, that has been caused by the ever-enhancing globalization
process. As a result, various novel concepts pertaining to the new economies, technology and
entrepreneurship have emerged. This dissertation has set the focus to explore the concept of
entrepreneurship ecosystems, which is used to describe the actors, the interconnectedness
occurring between the actors and the overall environment where entrepreneurs and startups
operate in. The aim of the thesis is to assess what drives the success of said ecosystems, how
can such favourable environments come into being, and to provide insights as to how two
relatively small European countries in the opposite ends of the continent, such as Portugal and
Estonia, have managed to emerge as significant startup hubs. In order to achieve the research
objectives set and to answer the research questions posed, primary research in the form of
conducting semi-structured interviews with the actors operating within the Estonian and
Portuguese entrepreneurship ecosystems has been performed. Based on the primary data
collected and the secondary data reviewed analysis has been performed by using qualitative
research methods and conclusions have been made accordingly.Os tempos em que vivemos podem ser considerados uma era de revolução tecnológica e de aumento da interconectividade causada pela crescente otimização do processo de globalização. Consequentemente, têm emergido novéis conceitos respeitantes a diferentes tipologias de economia, tecnologia e empreendedorismo. Esta dissertação foca-se em explorar o conceito dos ecossistemas de empreendedorismo, usado para descrever os atores, a sua interconectividade e o ambiente global onde os empreendedores e as startups atuam. O propósito desta tese é avaliar o que leva ao sucesso dos referidos ecossistemas, como é que tais ambientes favoráveis se formam e proporcionar uma visão de como dois países europeus relativamente pequenos, situados em polos opostos do continente, como Portugal e Estônia, conseguiram posicionar-se enquanto centros importantes de startups. De modo a atingir os objetivos pré-definidos da pesquisa e dar resposta ás questões por ela levantadas, foram conduzidas entrevistas semiestruturadas com os atores que operam dentro do ecossistema de empreendedorismo da Estônia e de Portugal. Com base nessa informações e após estudo de outros elementos, foi levada a cabo uma análise pondo em prática o método de pesquisa quantitativo, sendo tiradas conclusões em conformidade.

Dynamic Capabilities enable companies to change and reconfigure their strategies in order to adapt to
the ever-changing business environment. As business markets become more turbulent with rapid
technological development, it is crucial that firms develop Dynamic Capabilities in order to maintain a
sustainable competitive advantage, especially Small Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs) which are more
vulnerable to competition and market changes. Given the importance of Dynamic Capabilities in
today’s economy, the purpose of this dissertation is to understand the role of Strategic Flexibility as a
Dynamic Capability in the development of organizational capabilities. This study aims to explore the
indirect effect between Strategic Flexibility and Firm Performance through three organizational
capabilities: Organizational learning, Entrepreneurship and Innovation Orientation in SMEs. In order
to test our conceptual model, we collected data from 180 SMEs and conducted a quantitative study
through surveys. Our contributions to the field are twofold. First, we developed a unique and
distinctive model to assess the indirect relationship between Strategic Flexibility and Firm
Performance. And second, we realized the value of Organizational Learning as a mediating variable as
it strengthens the relationship between Strategic Flexibility and Firm Performance.As Capacidades Dinâmicas permitem que as empresas mudem e reconfigurem as suas estratégias para se adaptarem ao ambiente de negócios em constante mudança. À medida que os mercados de negócios se tornam mais turbulentos com o rápido desenvolvimento tecnológico, é crucial que as empresas desenvolvam Capacidades Dinâmicas para manter uma vantagem competitiva sustentável, especialmente pequenas e médias empresas (PMEs), que são mais vulneráveis à concorrência e às mudanças do mercado. Dada a importância das Capacidades Dinâmicas na economia atual, o objetivo desta dissertação é compreender o papel da Flexibilidade Estratégica - Capacidade Dinâmica - no desenvolvimento de capacidades organizacionais. Deste modo, este estudo visa explorar os efeitos indiretos da Flexibilidade Estratégica na Performance de PMEs por meio da Aprendizagem Organizacional, do Empreendedorismo, e da Orientação à Inovação. Para testar o nosso modelo conceptual, reunimos dados de 180 PMEs e realizamos um estudo quantitativo, através de aplicação de questionários. As contribuições deste trabalho para a área de estudo são duplas. Em primeiro lugar, desenvolvemos um modelo único e distinto para avaliar a relação indireta entre Flexibilidade Estratégica e a Performance da empresa. Em segundo lugar, percebemos a importância da Aprendizagem Organizacional como variável mediadora uma vez que fortalece a relação entre Flexibilidade Estratégica e a Performance.

Abstract This chapter examines Austin’s ancestry and social background, tracing the origins of Austin’s parents: Geoffrey Langshaw Austin and Mary Bowes-Wilson. A contrast is drawn between the Austins (who tended to be unsocial, intellectual, and belong to the professions), and the Bowes-Wilsons (who tended to be extravert, aspirational, and entrepreneurial). Particular attention is paid to the Austins’ links with Jane Austen and the musical Langshaw family; and to Geoffrey’s father, Hubert Austin, who was a founder member of the famous firm, Sharpe, Paley and Austin, and one of the outstanding architects of the Victorian age.

Abstract LABEO, MARCUS ANTISTIUS (c. 54 B.c.-10/11 A.D.) One of the earliest of the Roman JURISTS; lived during the Augustan age (27 B.c.-14 A.D.). Trained by Ciolro and Ciceronian legalist C. Trebatius Testa, he was ,considered one of the finest legal minds in Rome, despite his firm Republicanism. Labeo became a rival of the other great jurist, G. Ateius Capito, opposing his monarchist tendencies. Augustus, who disliked both Labeo’s politics and his sharp wit, passed him over and granted Capito a consulship. Capito thus possessed greater social prominence than his senior, although Labeo was always considered his equal. Labeo authored some 400 books, including an early commentary on the Edicts. Always ready with a quick retort, he placed the name of Lepidus, the e:c-triumvir, on a list for the Senate. When Augustus threatened him with a charge of perjury, Labeo responded: “What have I done wrong by naming to the Senate one whom you allowed to remain High Priest?” Later, it was proposed that the senators should protect Augustus a,; a special guard, to which Labeo replied: “As for me, I snore, and thus should not sleep at Augustus’ chamber d:oor.” LABIENUS, QUINTUS (d. c. 39 B.c.) Son of Titus LABIENUS, who followed his father in opposition to Julius Caesar and in joining Cassius and Brutus, the LIBERATORS. He acted as an envoy for them to King ORODES II of PARTHIA, developing a rapport with the monarch. In 42 B.C., i,.hen the Republican cause was annihilated at the battle of Philippi, Labienus fled to Parthia, offering his services to Orodes. Two years later, Labienus returned to Roman territory but at the head of the Parthian army, invading SYRIA and PALESTINE. He captured Apamea and most of the Syrian cities, except for Tyre, subjugated Judaea, carried off the ethnarch Hyrcanus, and installed the Jewish daimant Antigones on the throne. His seizure of Cilicia was his military crowning achievement; but he had considerable influence on Jewish history.

Abstract Although executive stock options—the right granted to management and/or employees to buy a company’s stock at a pre-specified price during a specified length of time—have become a well-established part of management compensation in the USA (Hall and Liebman 1998; Murphy 1999), their use has permeated Continental Europe only recently. Listed companies in the Netherlands started to use this form of compensation extensively as of the mid-l 990s. The idea underlying the use of stock options is that they can tum paid managers into owners, thus aligning their interests with those of shareholders. As a result, company managers will be more motivated to strive towards firms’ financial-markets-related performance. Moreover, these stock-based compensation plans may not only strengthen the link between compensation and performance for existing recipients, but can also assist a firm in bringing talented new staff onboard. This appears especially relevant in high-tech sector firms.

Chapter 14 records how Mars is seeking to implement a mutual profit and loss (P&L) statement in its management accounts. It is being used to align the management systems of Mars with its purpose and signal to the business that performance in terms of human, social, and natural capital is as important as financial performance. The mutual P&L reflects that the boundary of the firm should not be restricted to its legal and contractual rights and obligations but should also embrace the ecosystem that is relevant to the delivery of its purposes. It includes expenditures in the ecosystem as part of its activities and crucially recognizes these as investments not just current operating expenditures where they contribute to human, social, and natural capital as well as material and financial capitals. In line with traditional accounting methods, it values these investments at cost not at market values.

Abstract Peter Dennis N[itchell was born on 29 September 192() in a two-story semi-detached house at H) Rustic Avenue in the middle-class London suburb of Mitcham, Surrey. His fother, Christopher Gibbs Mitchell, was 31 and his mother, Kate Beatrice Dorothy (nee Taplin) Mitchell, was 27. They had married in 1914 just before World War l broke out An older son, Christopher John (Bill) Mitchell, was born in 1916.The Mitchell family was from DorSE>t, but it is not dear how many generations may have lived there or what occupation they followed. Family lore was that they were descended from seventeenth-century French Huguenot immigrants named Nfichelle and the name had beenanglicized to Mitchell. Although some of the family suspect that a few of their ancestors were engaged in smuggling,l Peter Mitchell liked to think that at least some of his forebears had been pirates in the English Channel.2 What is certain is that Peter Mitchell’s grandfather, Christopher Mitchell, was trained as a stone mason but rose to be manager of a quarry in Portland, the Portland Stone Works. Christopher Mitchell was ambitious and an able businessman whose investments included the firm Minimax, which made fire extinguishers and of which he later became director. Probably in the 188ns he moved to Peckham, London, and became a clerk of works employed by the London County Council. His quMrying expertise led to his forming a pMtnership with Matthew Ascot Rowe, who had made his fortune in the United States. The firm Rowe and Mitchell brought granite from quarries in Alderney to London to make road surfacing for the various London boroughs. Christopher Mitchell married Margaret Way of Weymouth and had two sons, Christopher Gibbs Mitchell, born in 1889, and Godfrey Way Mitchell, born in 1891.

Towards the alarming rate of environmentally hazardous greenhouse gas emissions, this chapter features the potential exploitation of seeds of Jatropha curcas L. as a raw material for biodiesel production. Biodiesels are single-alkyl esters generated from plant and animal oils that serve as a sustainable source of liquid biofuel. The examination of oil derived from Jatropha curcas seeds indicates its economic viability, environmental safety, and technological achievability in response to increasing energy needs and dwindling fossil fuel resources. The seeds of J. curcas possess good fuel properties with an enormous quantity of oil extracted per hectare, accounting for 40% per seed by weight; it contributes to developmental strategies involved in marketing low-cost biodiesel on a large scale. Further, biodiesels have no traces of sulfur, aromatic hydrocarbons, or crude oil leftovers, leading to a firm possibility to overcome the release of harmful pollutants (CO2, SO2, methane, etc.) The extraction of seed oil from Jatropha spp. has also led to outweigh the growing critical concerns and impact of ‘food’ over ‘fuel’ in highly populated countries such as India and China; the production of second-generation biofuels from non-edible sources (J. curcas L.) deduces the chance of usage of edible oil sources (Soybean oil, for instance) as biodiesel feedstock. With the physicochemical properties evaluated to be in an acceptable range for use in diesel engines, the delimiting exploitation of biofuels from Jatropha sp. finds promising economic value in semi-arid regions and encourages the betterment of rural life. This chapter aims to disclose the replacement of fossil fuels by an alternative renewable energy source and describe the methods of oil extraction, biodiesel production, and improvement strategies in crop yield and crude oil properties of J. curcas L. seeds.

Portugal does not have nuclear power plants but records an increasing production of radioactive waste from medical, industrial and research applications of radioactive materials in the form of sealed and unsealed sources; the country totals include also the spent fuel of one nuclear reactor for research purposes. Since radioactive waste management policies and practices in Portugal will have to comply with the Council Directive 2011/70/Euratom and the IAEA Joint Convention, the search for scientific and technological solutions to deal with radioactive wastes produced in the country started some years ago. The research carried out recently under the scope of a national funded project (KADRWaste, PTDC/CTE-GEX/82678/2006) represents a firm step in this commitment. Indeed, the transfer of methodologies tested and validated in this project allowed for improvement to a procedure to assess suitable sites to receive a near-surface repository for “Low and Intermediate Level Waste, Short Live and Long Live” (LILW-SL, LL) wastes in Portugal mainland. Although the main stages of the procedure can be of universal usage, details were designed according to the intrinsic geological, geomorphic and meteorological features of previously selected target-areas. All the requirements exhaustively listed in many reports of the IAEA were fulfilled and, in addition, the application of mineralogical, geochemical and textural criteria is strongly advised. The proposed procedure is based on a 5 key-steps approach preceded by clarification of the boundary conditions to be imposed, which are crucial to the inventory of various compulsory technical requirements. This analysis requires the adoption of stringent criteria, many of them of multi-disciplinary nature, including tests of vulnerability and assessment of uncertainty, besides the environmental impact risk. As a result, priority targets that are not excluded will integrate different classes and, depending on the existing knowledge, it will be possible to select locations suitable for the repository installation, taking into account also the political, social and administrative dimensions behind this decision.

The novice researcher, such as the graduate student, can be overwhelmed by the intricacies of the research methods employed in conducting a scholarly inquiry. As both a consumer and producer of research, it is essential to have a firm grasp on just what is entailed in producing legitimate, valid results and conclusions. The very large and growing number of diverse research approaches in current practice exacerbates this problem. The goal of this review is to provide the novice researcher with a starting point in becoming a more informed consumer and producer of research. Toward addressing this goal, a new system for deriving a proposed study type is developed. The PLD model includes the three common drivers for selection of study type: research-worthy problem (P), valid quality peer-reviewed literature (L), and data (D). The discussion includes a review of some common research types and concludes with definitions, discussions, and examples of various fundamentals of research methods such as: a) forming research questions and hypotheses; b) acknowledging assumptions, limitations, and delimitations; and c) establishing reliability and validity.

Introduction: Immature teratoma represents 3% of all teratomas, 1 % of all ovarian cancers and 20% of malignant ovarian germ cell tumors. It is found either in pure form or as a component of a mixed germ cell tumor. It occurs essentially during the first two decades of life. According to WHO, immature teratoma is defined as a teratoma containing a variable amount of immature embryonal type neuroectodermal tissue Case: We present here a report of 23 years old unmarried female who presented with complaint of abdominal pain since 1 month and her CT scan done outside, showed fibroid uterus. She had history of typhoid fever 1 month back for which USG was done which suggested large uterine fibroid. On examination she was hemodynamically stable. On abdominal examination a non-tender supra-pubic mass of 24 weeks size with firm consistency, irregular margin was felt. On investigation CA 125 was 64.90 IU/L, LD- 223, beta HCG- 1.14. On MRI a large abdomino-pelvic lesion, likely left adnexal lesion with multiple cystic areas, with hemorrhage, with ascites and enlarged retroperitoneal lymph nodes with omental infiltration suggestive of a possibility of malignant germ cell tumor. In view of large ovarian tumor, possibly malignant decision for staging laparotomy was taken. Intra-operatively a large irregular vascular solid mass of 20 x 20 cms with bosselated appearance with few cystic lesions over it was seen, arising from left ovary and was sent for frozen section which reported malignant mature teratoma with components of immature teratoma. She underwent laparotomy with left salpingo-oophorectomy with right ovarian biopsy, omentectomy, appendectomy with B/L pelvic lymphadenectomy. Histopathology was suggestive of grade III immature teratoma. In view of grade III immature teratoma, she received chemotherapy (BEP regimen) post-operatively and is currently under follow up. Conclusion: This case reflects the importance of early diagnosis in cases of pelvic masses in young females. Fertility preservation should be considered in young women with germ cell tumors. Patients with grade II or III tumors or a mere advanced stage disease should be treated with adjuvant chemotherapy (BEP) in addition to surgery.

Introduction: Sertoli-Leydig cell tumor (SLCT) is a rare ovarian tumor, Constitute less than 0.5% of ovarian tumors. Most tumors are unilateral, confined to the ovaries. They are seen during the second and third decades of life. They are characterized by the presence of testicular structures that produce androgens. Patients have symptoms of virilization (depending on the quantity of androgen). Case Report: A 42-year-old woman presented Amenorrhea for 14 months. Change in her voice for 1 year and Excessive hair growth on her face, chest, and limbs for the last 2 months. She complained of vague abdominal discomfort. No history of anorexia, weight loss, increased libido. Her medical and family history was unremarkable. On examination - Hirsutism and clitoromegaly. Lump of size 10x8 cm palpable in left iliac fossa. Vaginal examination revealed a firm and mobile cystic mass in the right adnexa. An ultrasound examination of the pelvis showed a 17x 13x 9-cm heterogeneous solid cystic mass replacing the left ovary. The right ovary and the uterus were normal. CECT Scan Abdomen-Large heterogenous encapsulated solid soft tissue mass lesions containing areas of calcification arising from left ovary of size 17x13x10.6cm causing displacement of urinary bladder and surrounding bowel loops. Serum testosterone level -2 ng/mL (normal, 0.2–1.2 ng/mL); (DHEAS), CA 125, and alpha fetoprotein (AFP) -normal. On Laparotmy-Large mass of size 17 X 13 cm arising from left adnexa. Uterus and right ovary grossly normal. Total Abdominal hysterectomy, B/L Salpingo-opherectomy and infracolic omentectomy was done. Peritoneal washing were sent for cytologic examination for malignant cells. No liver metastasis. The post operative period was uneventful. Histopathology revealed- confirmed it be Sertoli Leydig cell tumor. 3month follow up – resolution of her virilization symptoms. No increase of her hirsutism. Repeat testosterone levels - within normal range. Conclusion: Only few cases of SLCT have been reported till date Prognosis depends on extent of disease, stage of disease, tumour differentiation, grade. The treatment should be individualized according to the location, state of spread and the patient’s condition.

Squeeze Film Dampers (SFDs) are commonly used in turbomachinery to dampen shaft vibrations in rotor-bearing systems. The main factor deterring the success of analytical models for the prediction of SFD’s performance lays on the modeling of dynamic film rupture. Usually, the cavitation models developed for journal bearings are applied to SFDs. Yet, the characteristic motion of the SFD results in the entrapment of air into the oil film, producing a bubbly mixture that cannot be represented by these models. There is a need to identify and understand the parameters that affect air entrainment and subsequent formation of a bubbly air-oil mixture within the lubricant film. A previous model by Diaz and San Andre´s advanced estimation of the amount of film-entrapped air, based on a non-dimensional number that related both geometrical and operating parameters but limited to the short bearing approximation (i.e., neglecting circumferential flow). The present study extends their work to consider the effects of finite length-to-diameter ratios. This is achieved by means of a finite volume integration of the two-dimensional, Newtonian, compressible Reynolds equation combined with the effective mixture density and viscosity defined in the work of Diaz and San Andre´s. A flow balance at the open end of the film is devised to estimate the amount of air entrapped within the film. The results show, in dimensionless plots, a map of the amount of entrained air as a function of the Feed-Squeeze Flow Number, defined by Diaz and San Andre´s, and the Length-to-Diameter Ratio of the Damper. Entrained air is shown to decrease as the L/D ratio increases, going from the approximate solution of Diaz and San Andre´s for infinitely short SFDs down to no air entrainment for an infinite length SFD. The results of this research are of immediate engineering applicability. Furthermore, they represent a firm step to advance the understanding of the effects of air entrapment on the performance of SFDs.

The tomato, a profitable vegetable crop in both the USA and Israel, has benefited significantly from intensive breeding efforts in both countries, and elsewhere (esp. Holland). : Modem hybrids are highly prolific and resistant to a variety of major pests. They produce attractive, firm fruit for both processing and fresh-marketing. In all cases, however, reduction in flavor and aroma have occurred concomitantly with the increase in yield. Sugars-acids ratio dominate fruit taste, whereas aroma volatiles (potent at minute ppb and ppt levels) contribute to the total characteristic tomato flavor. An increase in sugars (1-2%) contributes significantly to tomato fruit taste. However, because of energy reasons, an increase in fruit sugars is immediately compensated for by a decrease in yield. Our main objectives were to: (a) pinpoint and identify the major impact aroma components of fresh tomato; (b) study the genetic and environmental effects on fruit aroma; (c) determine precursors of appealing (flavors) and repelling (off-flavors) aroma compounds in tomato. Addition of saturated salts blocked all enzymatic activities prior to isolation of volatiles by dynamic and static headspace, using solvent assisted flavor evaporation (SAFE) and solid phase micro-extraction (SPME) from highly favored (FA-612 and FA-624) and less preferred (R 144 and R 175) tomato genotypes. Impact aroma components were determined by gas chromatography-olfactometry (GC-O), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC- MS) and aroma extract dilution analysis (AEDA). The potent odorant (Z)-1,5-octadien-3-one, was identified for the first time in fresh tomato. From the ca. 400 volatile compounds in the headspace of fresh tomato, the following compounds are proposed to be impact aroma compounds: (Z)-3-hexenal, hexanal, 1-penten-3-one, 2-phenylethanol, (E)-2-hexenal, phenyl acetaldehyde, b-ionone, b-damascenone, 4-hydroxy-2,5-dimethyl-3-(2H)-furanone (FuraneolR), (Z)-l,5-octadien-3-one, methional, 1-octen-3-one, guaiacol, (E,E)- and (E,Z)- 2,4-decadienal and trans- and cis-4,5-EPOXY -(E)-2-decenal. This confirms the initial hypothesis that only a small number of volatiles actually contribute to the sensation of fruit aroma. Tomato matrix significantly affected the volatility of certain impact aroma components and thus led to the conclusion that direct analysis of molecules in the headspace . may best represent access of tomato volatiles to the olfactory receptors. Significant differences in certain odorants were found between preferred and less-preferred cultivars. Higher consumer preference was correlated with higher concentrations of the following odorants: l-penten-3-one, (Z)-3-hexenal, (E,E)- and (E,Z)-2,4-decadienal and especially Furaneol, whereas lower consumer preference was associated with higher concentrations of methional, 3-methylbutyric acid, phenylacetaldehyde, 2-phenylethanol, and 2-isobutylthiazole. Among environmental factors (salinity, N source, growth temperature), temperature had significant effects on the content of selected aroma compounds (e.g., 3-methylbutanal, 1- penten-3-one, hexanal, (Z)-3-hexenal, (E)-2-hexenal, 2-isobutylthiazole, 6-methyl-5-hepten- 2-one, 1-octen-3-one, methional, 2-phenylethanal, phenyl acetaldehyde, and eugenol) in fresh tomatoes. Salt stress (20 mM NaCl) increased the content of odorants such as (Z)-3-hexenal, 2-phenylethanol and 3-methylbutanal in the R-144 cultivar whereas salinity had minor effects on 1-pentene-3-one, 2-isobutylthiazole and b-ionone. This fundamental knowledge obtained by comprehensive investigation, using modem chemical, sensory and agrotechnical methodology will assist future attempts to genetically modify the concentrations of key odorants in fresh tomatoes, and thus keep the tomato production of Israel and the USA competitive on the world market.
