Rosemary Sullivan. “Het verraad van Anne Frank”
No full textRosemary Sullivan. “Het verraad van Anne Frank” Het recent verschenen boek ‘Het verraad van Anne Frank’ is het resultaat van zeven jaar onderzoek door een interdisciplinaire kerngroep van experten, ondersteund door tientallen vakspecialisten uit tal van domeinen (onder wie, helaas, weinig Holocaustdeskundigen). De centrale these van de lijvige studie luidt dat de acht mensen – Anne en Margot Frank en hun beide ouders, het echtpaar van Pels en hun zoon Peter, en de tandarts Fritz Pfeffer – di..
Leadership B. S. – Jefrey Pfeffer e a indústria da liderança
No full text“Developing leadership” is a constant search for professionals interested on acting in a more assertively in the organizations they perform their roles. Leadership BS is another endeavor by Jeffrey Pfeffer that makes us think over the tenets which the leadership industry, as the author refers to it, imposes to us daily. In a work based on the urgent need to incorporate evidence to a practice that could cause financial damage and other harmful consequences to the society, Pfeffer easily succeed on demonstrating why, for instance, some behaviors which are assumed as role models are nothing but fairy tales that only exist on classrooms and courses which efficacy is doubtful – if efficacy is understood as educating better leaders. The author challenges his readers to rethink the way they act, by understanding how psychological processes such as confirmation bias and self-deceiving reshape the wished format of leadership, which is taught, but nor practiced.“Desenvolver a capacidade de liderança” é uma constante na vida de profissionais interessados em atuar de forma mais assertiva nas organizações nas quais exercem suas atividades. Leadership BS é mais uma conquista de Jeffrey Pfeffer que nos obriga a repensar esses dogmas que a indústria da liderança, como assim a denomina o autor, nos empurram diariamente. Em um trabalho baseado na necessidade urgente de incorporar evidências a uma prática que pode causar prejuízos financeiros e diversos outros malefícios à sociedade, Pfeffer consegue demonstrar facilmente porque, por exemplo, alguns comportamentos tido como exemplares não passam de fábulas, que só existem em salas de aula e cursos de eficácia duvidosa – se, por eficácia, entender-se formar líderes melhores. O autor desafia seus leitores a repensarem a forma como atuam, entendendo que processos psicológicos como o viés de confirmação e o autoengano descaracterizam o formato desejado de liderança, aquele ensinado, mas não praticado.“Desenvolver a capacidade de liderança” é uma constante na vida de profissionais interessados em atuar de forma mais assertiva nas organizações nas quais exercem suas atividades.

Istota koncepcji narodowego systemu innowacji
No full textThe article overviews recent developments in research into national innovation systems (NIS). The article shows the diverse ways in which the concept of the national innovation system is defined. Most of these definitions emphasize the importance of institutional conditions. The existing literature also provides a variety of interpretations when it comes to the components of a national innovation system. Generally speaking, there are two definitions of innovation systems, the author says, a narrow definition and a broad definition. The narrow definition presents an innovation system in terms of ties and collaboration between the main players in the innovation process – the science sector, public and private R&D institutions and large corporations. The broad definition, on the other hand, covers all the aspects of the economic structure and institutional setup that influence learning as well as “searching and exploring” – the production system, marketing system and the financial system. The article interprets the essence of these systems in terms of how they function. The author also shows their various aspects, typology as well as gaps and shortcomings in theoretical concepts. It highlights important differences between these systems. There are differences in how innovation systems are defined and how their components are interpreted, the author says. This is largely because national economies differ in terms of the structure of production and institutional systems. However, certain characteristics of national innovation systems are impervious to change and remain country-specific, according to Gorynia-Pfeffer. The author uses a number of research methods including literature review to compare innovation systems and highlight differences between them, including those related to terminology. The article emphasizes the importance of national innovation systems despite the growing popularity of ideas to establish regional, sector-specific or technological systems. Various researchers have asserted that the process of knowledge creation and innovation is a collective process that requires the cooperation of many actors. Innovation is the outcome of interaction of multiple actors and the result of synergistic and collective action rather than individual initiative, Gorynia-Pfeffer concludes
Genetic characterization of Yug Bogdanovac virus
No full textWe present pyrosequencing data and phylogenetic analysis for the full genome of Yug Bogdanovac virus (YBV), a member of the Vesicular stomatitis virus serogroup of the Rhabdoviridae isolated from a pool of Phlebotomus perfiliewi sandflies collected in Serbia in 1976. YBV shows very low nucleotide identities to other members of the Vesicular stomatitis virus serogroup and does not contain a reading frame for C′/C proteins
Rapid Solvent-Free Synthesis of Pyridyl-Functionalised [5]Polynorbornane-Based Ligands for Metal-Organic Rings and Cages
No full textA solvent-free multicomponent protocol for the rapid (<30 min) synthesis of pyridyl-functionalised [5]polynorbornane ligands is described in which both 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition and imide formation occur. The ligands produced by this approach have been incorporated into new Pd and Pt M1L2 chelate complexes as well as an M2L4 cage as elucidated from NMR spectroscopy, ESI-MS and computational data
Tensor Product Methods and Entanglement Optimization for Ab Initio Quantum Chemistry
No full textThe treatment of high-dimensional problems such as the Schrodinger equation can be approached by concepts of tensor product approximation. We present general techniques that can be used for the treatment of high-dimensional optimization tasks and time-dependent equations, and connect them to concepts already used in many-body quantum physics. Based on achievements from the past decade, entanglement-based methodsdeveloped from different perspectives for different purposes in distinct communities already matured to provide a variety of toolscan be combined to attack highly challenging problems in quantum chemistry. The aim of the present paper is to give a pedagogical introduction to the theoretical background of this novel field and demonstrate the underlying benefits through numerical applications on a text book example. Among the various optimization tasks, we will discuss only those which are connected to a controlled manipulation of the entanglement which is in fact the key ingredient of the methods considered in the paper. The selected topics will be covered according to a series of lectures given on the topic New wavefunction methods and entanglement optimizations in quantum chemistry at the Workshop on Theoretical Chemistry, February 18-21, 2014, Mariapfarr, Austria.
