    The development of new drugs/drug candidates for medical treatment remains an exciting but challenging process as only a limited number of synthetic compounds fit well into the discovery and development process after multiple experiments and screening for their preclinical properties [...

    Responding to the Needs and Challenges of Arts Entrepreneurs: An Exploratory Study of Arts Entrepreneurship in North Carolina Higher Education

    No full text
    abstract: To address the call for examination of academic and professional approaches to arts entrepreneurship, we summarize the academic arts entrepreneurship programs in the State of North Carolina and conduct a pilot study with data gathered from arts entrepreneurs who attended the 5th annual Southern Entrepreneurship in the Arts Conference in Greensboro, North Carolina. Our review of the descriptive data reveals that arts entrepreneurs face a variety of needs and challenges, which are psychological (e.g., peer support) as well as technical (e.g., start-up skills). These findings suggest that, as prior literature stresses, arts entrepreneurship education programs should entail both the “entrepreneurship mindset” aspect and the “venture creation” aspect, so we advocate a holistic approach that combines both these perspectives with other related courses. We conclude, based on our exploratory study, that collaborative and flexible approaches, such as cross-campus programs for arts entrepreneurship education in higher education, could have beneficial outcomes for art entrepreneurs. Implications for future research are discussed

    No Return Ticket: CBSA Deportation in Canada

    Viewed through the theoretical lens of securitization theory & moral regulation, this thesis examines deportation and detainment in Canada across CBSA jurisdictional regions. Furthermore, this thesis attempted to explain how deportation and detainment trends changed since 2005, and what may be possible causes. Being a descriptive analysis study, this thesis utilizes a documentary research methodology to gather data, while using current literature to explain border security and deportation in Canada—bolstering results from the analysis on deportation and detainment statistics. The findings from the results ultimately provide new insight for CBSA, as well as for future research into the efficacy of operations of CBSA and the status quo on border security. Findings from this thesis show deportation rates, across the majority of CBSA jurisdictional regions, have been steadily declining since 2005. Furthermore, it was found as deportation rates decline, average days detained and detention rates have increased nationally since 2005. Although this thesis was able to answer its research question in part, it was not able to answer any causes of change because of a lack of literature on the topic—which is a gap of knowledge future researchers can address

    The main purpose of this research is to use a fractional-mathematical model including Atangana-Baleanu derivatives to explore the clinical associations and dynamical behavior of the tuberculosis. Herein, we used a lately introduced fractional operator having Mittag-Leffler kernel. The existence and inimitability problems to the relevant model were examined through the fixed-point theory. To verify the significance of the arbitrary fractional-order derivative, numerical outcomes were explored from the biological and mathematical viewpoints using the values of model parameters. The graphical simulations show the comparison of the predictor-corrector method (PCM) and Caputo method (CM) for different fractional orders and the results indicated the significant preference of PCM over CM

    The Energy Efficiency Act and the resulting notice of the Minister of Energy of 23 November 2016. "on a detailed list of energy efficiency improvement projects predicts "installation of measuring and control equipment, teletransmission equipment and automation in the implementation of energy management systems" as one of the methods of improving energy efficiency. Using specific examples of energy audits carried out by the author, this article demonstrates how such a solution can improve energy efficiency in the buildings of companies from various industries and what conditions must be met by such a system in order to operate efficiently.Ustawa o efektywności energetycznej i wynikające z niej obwieszczenie Ministra Energii z dnia 23 listopada 2016 r. "w sprawie szczegółowego wykazu przedsięwzięć służących poprawie efektywności energetycznej" przewidują jako jedną z metod poprawy efektywności energetycznej „instalację urządzeń pomiarowo-kontrolnych, teletransmisyjnych oraz automatyki w ramach wdrażania systemów zarządzania energią” Artykuł przedstawia na konkretnych przykładach audytów energetycznych wykonanych przez autora, jak takie rozwiązanie może wpłynąć na poprawę efektywności energetycznej przedsiębiorstw różnych branż i jakie warunki musi spełnić taki system, by działać efektywnie
