    No full text
    Purpose: this purpose of the paper to examine the interplay of constraints and opportunities affecting female entrepreneurship in developing countries. The paper integrates salient micro- and macro-level perspectives and provides a rounded account of opportunities and constraints as part of a holistic interdependent system.Design/methodology/approach: the paper adopts an integrative multi-level research design and an interpretive research methodology, capitalizing on in-depth interviews with ten women entrepreneurs to explore their perceptions and interpretations of constraints and opportunities facing female entrepreneurship in the Lebanese context.Findings: the findings presented in this paper clearly illustrate the relevance of micro-, meso-, and macro-level factors in entrepreneurship research and the usefulness of integrating multiple lens and units of analysis to capture the complexity of the women entrepreneurship experience in any particular context.Originality/value: the value added of this research lies in adapting a framework recently popularized in the context of diversity management for use in entrepreneurship research, helping to capture in turn the dynamic interplay of multiple levels of analysis and objective/subjective factors influencing female entrepreneurshi

    Fusarium verticillioides and F. proliferatum from Syrian wheat grains: fumonisin production

    No full text
    Fusarium species are predominantly found associated with Fusarium head blight in wheat and other small-grain cereals all over the world. F. verticillioides (Fv) and F. proliferatum (Fp), the less frequently encountered species, are less pathogenic but toxigenic. The occurrence of these species in harvested wheat and cereals grains could indicate the presence of fumonisin mycotoxins. The risks of the consumption of fumonisin contaminated grains must not be ignored. In Syria, wheat is the main strategic crop and its two main products, bread and bulgur, are common food stuffs. The average consumption of bread per capita per month is 12.9 Kg. The aim of the study was to detect the presence of fumonisins in Syrian wheat grains and the ability of Fv and Fp in their production. Fourty-eight grain samples of durum and soft wheat were collected from different Syrian areas during years 2009 and 2010. Mycological analysis was performed on four hundred kernels for each sample. All Fusarium isolates were studied morphologically and molecularly, and then screened for their ability in producing mycotoxins in wheat cultivation. Fusarium infected samples were analyzed also for mycotoxin content using HPLC–MS/MS. The data revealed that F. verticillioides and F. proliferatum were present in Syrian wheat grains with frequencies of 10.4% and 8.0%, respectively towards the total of Fusarium population. All the strains were able to produce fumonisins B1, B2, B3 (FB1, FB2, FB3), and 10 % of the grain samples were contaminated with low levels of FB1, FB2

    DIMA – Annotation guidelines for German intonation

    No full text
    This paper presents newly developed guidelines for prosodic annotation of German as a consensus system agreed upon by German intonologists. The DIMA system is rooted in the framework of autosegmental-metrical phonology. One important goal of the consensus is to make exchanging data between groups easier since German intonation is currently annotated according to different models. To this end, we aim to provide guidelines that are easy to learn. The guidelines were evaluated running an inter-annotator reliability study on three different speech styles (read speech, monologue and dialogue). The overall high κ between 0.76 and 0.89 (depending on the speech style) shows that the DIMA conventions can be applied successfully
