Is Management and Organizational Studies divided into (micro‐)tribes?

Many claims have been made in the past that Management and Organization Studies (MOS) is becoming increasingly fragmented, and that this fragmentation is causing it to drift into self-reference and irrelevance. Despite the weight of this claim, it has not yet been subjected to a systematic empirical test. This paper addresses this research gap using the tribalization approach and diachronic co-cit

Climate crisis as a business opportunity : Using degrowth to defamiliarize place branding for sustainability

Place branders express a desire for their work to aid in addressing crises such as climate change through sustainable developments that assist with brand positioning, yet little is known about how place branding professionals manage tensions and contradictions that arise between sustainability and investment development. This paper qualitatively explores how place branders talk about ecological su

Elevated plasma neurofilament light and glial fibrillary acidic protein in epilepsy versus nonepileptic seizures and nonepileptic disorders

Objective: Research suggests that recurrent seizures may lead to neuronal injury. Neurofilament light chain protein (NfL) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) levels increase in cerebrospinal fluid and blood in response to neuroaxonal damage, and they have been hypothesized as potential biomarkers for epilepsy. We examined plasma NfL and GFAP levels and their diagnostic utility in differenti

Reimagining energy infrastructure for justice : power, politics, and institutional work in India’s 2.05 GW Pavagada solar park

India has positioned itself as a leader in transitioning its energy sector to renewable sources, with ambitious targets and policies in place. Large-scale grid-integrated renewable energy plants have been identified as the most efficient option. Scholarly arguments differ regarding the impacts of renewables-led transitions, with some emphasizing positive environmental, economic, and social outcome

QM/MM Studies of Nitrogenase

Nitrogenase is the only enzyme that can cleave the strong triple bond in N2, making nitrogen available for biological life. Despite extensive research, the mechanism of nitrogen fixation by nitrogenase is not fully understood, partly due to the enzyme’s complex structure, which includes the largest iron–sulfur cluster known in metalloenzymes, the FeMo cluster. Understanding this process requires t

Large-Eddy Simulations of Thermal Ribbed Duct Flows

Ribbed channel flows are encountered in numerous engineering applications to promote turbulence and enhance heat transfer in various cooling passages, e.g., in turbine blades and at combustor walls. Numerical simulations have become an increasingly useful tool for providing insights into complex turbulence and flow separation, which are critical to the design and optimization of such channels. In

An efficient method to establish electrostatic screening lengths of restricted primitive model electrolytes

We present a novel, and computationally cheap, way to estimate electrostatic screening lengths from simulations of restricted primitive model (RPM) electrolytes. We demonstrate that the method is accurate by comparisons with simulated long-ranged parts of the charge density, at various Bjerrum lengths, salt concentrations and ion diameters. We find substantial underscreening in low dielectric solv

Social media platforms for politics : A comparison of Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, Reddit, Snapchat, and WhatsApp

Citizens have increasingly diversified their use of social media platforms, raising questions about which platforms are adopted and for what purposes. We use survey data from four countries (Canada, France, the United States, and the United Kingdom) gathered in 2019 and 2021 (n = 12,302) about Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, Reddit, Snapchat, and WhatsApp. Political ideology predicts the ad

Left ventricular dysfunction in pulmonary arterial hypertension is attributed to underfilling rather than intrinsic myocardial disease : a CMR 2D phase contrast study

The pathophysiology underlying impaired LV function in PAH remains unclear, with some studies implicating intrinsic myocardial dysfunction and others pointing to LV underfilling. Evaluation of pulmonary vein area (PVA) and flow may offer novel, mechanistic insight by distinguishing elevated LV filling pressure common in myocardial dysfunction from LV underfilling. This study aimed to elucidate LV

Antisemitismus auf social media und anderen online-plattformen : Ausmaß und kontext

Bisher gibt es kaum Forschung zu digitalen Formen und der Verbreitung von Antisemitismus. Wie in diesem Band gezeigt wird, nimmt jedoch das akademische Interesse an Antisemitismus in sozialen Medien zu. Der Großteil des vorhandenen Wissens zu diesem Thema stammt hauptsächlich aus zwei Arten von Forschung. Bei der ersten handelt es sich um Berichte von Nichtregierungs- und Regierungsstellen, bei de

Controlling the Diabetic Body? Managing Chronic Illness with Wearable Technology

I explore the experience of managing type 1 diabetes with wearable technology. Type 1 diabetes is a chronic illness which requires continuous maintenance to keep the blood glucose levels within range. Using autoethnography, I investigate both the practices of translating information from technology and from senses, and also from health authorities, into practices. I conclude that the management of

Parallel vector memories in the brain of a bee as foundation for flexible navigation

Insects rely on path integration (vector-based navigation) and landmark guidance to perform sophisticated navigational feats, rivaling those seen in mammals. Bees in particular exhibit complex navigation behaviors including creating optimal routes and novel shortcuts between locations, an ability historically indicative of the presence of a cognitive map. A mammalian cognitive map has been widely

Formation of transfermium elements in reactions with 208Pb

Within the Langevin framework, we investigate the dynamics of the fusion process for production of transfermium elements in reactions of 48Ca, 50Ti, 54Cr, and 58Fe with 208Pb. After the reacting nuclei have made contact, the early dynamical stage is dominated by the dissipation of the initial radial kinetic energy, while the subsequent shape evolution is diffusive. The probability for surmounting

Securing Industry 4.0: Assessing Cybersecurity Challenges and Proposing Strategies for Manufacturing Management

Industry 4.0 represents the foundation of the fourth industrial revolution, characterised by the integration of innovative technology into the manufacturing process. This integration enhances automation, diagnostics, data analysis, and autonomous decision-making through the networking of equipment and machinery. However, the increased reliance on technology raises concerns about the implementation

Plasma-assisted NH3/air flame : Simultaneous LIF measurements of O and OH

In the emerging field of plasma-assisted ammonia (NH3) combustion, the evolution of key intermediate species has rarely been reported. This work establishes a simultaneous measurement system of laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) for hydroxyl (OH) and quantitative two-photon-absorption LIF for atomic oxygen (O), to explore the OH and O dynamics in an NH3/air flame affected by a nanosecond (ns) pulsed

Dynamics of atomic oxygen production in an NH3/air flame assisted by a nanosecond pulsed plasma discharge

Atomic oxygen (O) is vital in plasma-assisted combustion, but its quantitative measurement is challenging and therefore rarely reported. This work performs femtosecond two-photon-absorption laser-induced fluorescence (fs-TALIF) imaging to quantify the dynamics of atomic oxygen production by a single nanosecond (ns) pulsed plasma discharge in an ammonia/air flame for the first time. First of all, t
