We provide a formal model of entrepreneurship in human development. The framework is provided by the capabilities approach (CA). Hence we extend not only the conceptualisation of entrepreneurship in development, but the reach of the CA into entrepreneurship. From a CA view, entrepreneurship is not only a production factor, or a means to an end, as is often taken to be the case by economists, bu...

Calcium (Ca(2+)) plays a major role in a variety of cellular processes. Fine changes in its concentration are detected by calcium sensor proteins, which adopt specific conformations to regulate their molecular targets. Here, two distinct nanodevices were probed as biocompatible carriers of Ca(2+)-sensors and the structural and functional effects of protein-nanodevice interactions were investiga...

Purpose This study aims to understand the culture of excellence by examining role entrepreneurial in shaping how firms achieve sustainable competitive advantage (CA). takes into consideration firms’ capability transform a CA generating product development and adapting information technological turbulence. Design/methodology/approach first gathers evidence from literature then carries out detail...

This study examines the development and use of multiple scorecard metrics within each stage of the perioperative process as key performance indicators to enable business process management practices across the entire process to target and measure continuous improvement. This paper identifies how dynamic technological activities of analysis, evaluation, and synthesis applied to internal and exte...

The article contributes to the ongoing discussion on relating information and communication technology (ICT) to development (D). The quest to relate ICT to D is a topic of open deliberation and critical scrutiny in ICT4D research communities. To enhance the understanding in this regard, we conducted a literature review. The review examines 80 articles to identify various development theories an...

Biomass-derived carbon materials, as one type of promising anode material for lithium ion batteries (LIBs), have demonstrated intrinsic potential and superiority. Here, we report a facile and efficient approach to fabricate micro-sized porous carbon spheres (PCSs) by an integrated procedure of enzymolysis, pre-oxidation, and carbonization. Benefiting from the uniquely abundant pore accessiblity...
