    Fundamental view of the outcomes of entrepreneurship education

    No full text
    The research paper presents a holistic framework of the outcomes of entrepreneurship education (EE) at educational and socio-economic levels. Employing the general scientific research methods, monograph and logical construction, the author investigates the fundamental origins of the European Competence Framework for entrepreneurial learning and identifies a scientific justification for its implementation. This work is also the first to exploit an integral view of entrepreneurship as a combination of employability, intrapreneurship and venture creation – for measuring the impact of entrepreneurship education, and to set linkages between learning outcomes in real life and educational settings. The target audiences for this paper include entrepreneurship educators, researchers and EE decision-makers. </p

    Konstanze Diefenbach,1 Dietmar Trummer,1 Frank Ebert,1 Michael Lissy,2 Manuela Koch,2 Beate Rohde,1 Hartmut Blode3 1Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals, Berlin, Germany; 2Nuvisan GmbH, Neu-Ulm, Germany; 3Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals Global R&amp;D Center, Beijing, People&#39;s Republic of China Background: Adequate folate supplementation in the periconceptional phase is recommended to reduce the risk of neural tube defects. Oral contraceptives may provide a reasonable delivery vehicle for folate supplementation before conception in women of childbearing potential. This study aimed to demonstrate that a fixed-dose combination of an oral contraceptive and levomefolate calcium leads to sustainable improvements in folate status compared with an oral contraceptive + folic acid. Methods: This was a double-blind, randomized, parallel-group study in which 172 healthy women aged 18&ndash;40 years received ethinylestradiol (EE)-drospirenone-levomefolate calcium or EE-drospirenone + folic acid for 24 weeks (invasion phase), and EE-drospirenone for an additional 20 weeks (folate elimination phase). The main objective of the invasion phase was to examine the area under the folate concentration time-curve for plasma and red blood cell (RBC) folate, while the main objective of the elimination phase was to determine the duration of time for which RBC folate concentration remained &ge; 906 nmol/L after cessation of EE-drospirenone-levomefolate calcium. Results: Mean concentration-time curves for plasma folate, RBC folate, and homocysteine were comparable between treatment groups during both study phases. During the invasion phase, plasma and RBC folate concentrations increased and approached steady-state after about 8 weeks (plasma) or 24 weeks (RBC). After cessation of treatment with levomefolate calcium, folate concentrations decreased slowly. The median time to RBC folate concentrations falling below 906 nmol/L was 10 weeks (95% confidence interval 8&ndash;12 weeks) after cessation of EE-drospirenone-levomefolate calcium treatment. Plasma and RBC folate levels remained above baseline values in 41.3% and 89.3% of women, respectively, at the end of the 20-week elimination phase. Conclusion: Improvements in folate status were comparable between EE-drospirenone-levomefolate calcium and EE-drospirenone + folic acid. Plasma and RBC folate levels remained elevated for several months following cessation of treatment with EE-drospirenone-levomefolate calcium. Keywords: drospirenone, ethinylestradiol, folic acid, levomefolate calcium, neural tube defect, oral contraceptio

    &lt;p&gt;Earthquake Engineering with Uncertainty Quantification&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The open-source research application &lt;a href="https://github.com/NHERI-SimCenter/EE-UQ"&gt;EE-UQ &lt;/a&gt;provides an application researchers can use to predict the response of a building subjected to earthquake events. The application is focused on quantifying the uncertainties in the predicted response, given the that the properties of the buildings and the earthquake events are not known exactly, and that the simulation software and the user make simplifying assumptions in the numerical modeling of that structure. In the application, the user is required to characterize the uncertainties in the input. The application will after utilizing the selected sampling method, provide information that characterizes the uncertainties in the response measures. The computations to make these determinations can be prohibitively expensive. To overcome this impedement the user has the option to perform the computations on the Stampede2 supercomputer. Stampede2 is located at the Texas Advanced Computing Center and made available to the user through NHERI DesignSafe, the cyberinfrastructure provider for the distributed NSF funded Natural Hazards in Engineering Research Infrastructure (NHERI) facility.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The computations are performed in a workflow application. That is, the numerical simulations are actually performed by a number of different applications. The EE-UQ backend software runs these different applications for the user, taking the outputs from some programs and providing them as inputs to others. The design of the EE-UQ application is such that researchers are able to modify the backend application to utilize their own application in the workflow computations. This will ensure researchers are not limited to using the default applications we provide and will be enthused to provide their own applications for others to use.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This is Version 1.0 of the tool and as such is limited in scope. Researchers are encouraged to comment on what additional features and applications they would like to see in this application. If you want it, chances are many of your colleagues also would benefit from it.&lt;/p&gt

    "This Skin Notation Profile presents (1) a brief summary of technical data associated with skin contact with EE and (2) the rationale behind the hazard-specific skin notation (SK) assignment for EE. The SK assignment is based on the scientific rationale and logic outlined in the Current Intelligence Bulletin (CIB) 61: A Strategy for Assigning New NIOSH Skin Notations [NIOSH 2009]. The summarized information and health hazard assessment are limited to an evaluation of the potential health effects of dermal exposure to EE. A literature search was conducted through July 2010 to identify information on EE, including but not limited to data relating to its toxicokinetics, acute toxicity, repeated-dose systemic toxicity, carcinogenicity, biological system/function-specific effects (including reproductive and developmental effects and immunotoxicity), irritation, and sensitization. Information was considered from studies of humans, animals, or appropriate modeling systems that are relevant to assessing the effects of dermal exposure to EE. EE is potentially capable of causing multiple toxic effects following skin contact. A critical review of available data has resulted in the following SK assignment for EE: SK: SYS. Table 1 provides an overview of the critical effects and data used to develop the SK assignment for EE." -- NIOSHTIC-2"This document was developed by the Education and Information Division, Paul Schulte, Ph.D., Director.

    Java EE un Spring ir populārākās Java tīmekļa lietotņu izstrādes platformas. Vēsturiski Java EE platformas sākotnējās versijas sarežģītā izstrādes procesa un resursu patēriņa dēļ izstrādātāju vidū iemantoja "smagsvara" platformas slavu. Kā alternatīva "vieglā svara" platforma tika radīta Spring platforma. Laika gaitā Java EE tika uzlabota, un platformas jaunākajās versijās izstrādes procesa sarežģītība ir mazinājusies. Darbā tiek apskatītas Java EE 6 un Spring 3 platformu piedāvātās iespējas un analizēta to funkcionalitāte. Izmantojot autora izstrādātas lietotnes, tiek testēta un analizēta platformu veiktspēja. Noslēgumā tiek doti ieteikumi platformas izvēlē atkarībā no realizējamā projekta specifikas.Java EE and Spring are most popular Java web application platforms. Early versions of Java EE platform had complicated development process and high resource usage so in developer community it was called "heavy-weight". Spring platform emerged as an alternative "light-weight" platform. Later Java EE was updated and development complexity was decreased. Paper describes features of Java EE 6 and Spring 3 platform and analyses platform functionality. Performance of both platforms is tested using applications developed by author. In conclusion author gives recommendations for platform choice depending on project characteristics
