Key factors of information management for crowdfunding investor satisfaction
2021
Abstract Crowdlending platforms are becoming increasingly important as a collective financing mechanism for entrepreneurs and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), especially those at an early stage. This study, which is based on a survey of investors on a Spanish crowdlending platform, uses fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) to examine investor satisfaction with crowdlending platforms. Specifically, the study examines communication policies and the quality of the investor experience based on the information provided by these platforms. The value of this article lies in its examination of the antecedents of crowdlending investor satisfaction. The analysis shows that the…
Reaccionan Completamente los Precios ante un Anuncio de Adquisiciin? Evidencia en el Mercado de Control de Empresas Espaaol (Do Prices Fully React to…
2013
This note examines whether prices fully reflect value creation or destruction at the time of the acquisition announcement when samples are split into listed and unlisted target firms as previous international results are ambiguous about this subject. We find that the Spanish market fully react to the acquisition announcement (showing value creation only for unlisted target firms acquisitions), except for the smallest bidders of public targets since we find significant positive abnormal returns for a 24-month post-acquisition window when event portfolio returns are computed equally-weighted but insignificant abnormal returns when value-weighted returns are computed. This evidence is consiste…
Concomitant Use of Statins, Metformin, or Proton Pump Inhibitors in Patients with Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma Treated with First-Line Combination T…
2022
Background Drug-drug interactions are a major concern in oncology and may potentially affect the outcome of patients with cancer. Objective In this study, we aimed to determine whether the concomitant use of statins, metformin, or proton pump inhibitors affects survival in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma treated with first-line combination therapies. Methods Medical records of patients with documented metastatic renal cell carcinoma between January 2016 and November 2021 were reviewed at 17 participating centers. This research was conducted in ten institutions, including both referral centers and local hospitals. Patients were assessed for overall survival, progression-free su…
Simultaneous radio and X-ray observations of the low-mass X-ray binary GX 13+1
2004
We present the results of two simultaneous X-ray/radio observations of the low-mass X-ray binary GX 13+1, performed in July/August 1999 with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer and the Very Large Array. In X-rays the source was observed in two distinct spectral states; a soft state, which had a corresponding 6 cm flux density of ~0.25 mJy, and a hard state, which was much brighter at 1.3-7.2 mJy. For the radio bright observation we measured a delay between changes in the X-ray spectral hardness and the radio brightness of ~40 minutes, similar to what has been found in the micro-quasar GRS 1915+105. We compare our results with those of GRS 1915+105 and the atoll/Z-type neutron star X-ray binarie…

Vidusskolas vecuma jauniešu izpratne par "Youtube" darbības principiem
2020
Sociālie tīkli šodien ir neatņemama ikdienas sastāvdaļa. Tie ir galvenais līdzeklis, lai iegūtu jaunāko informāciju, sazinātos ar draugiem un vienkārši atpūstos. Viena no straujāk augošajām interneta platformām YouTube nodrošina visplašākās izklaides iespējas dažādām vecuma grupām. Tomēr tikai retais šīs platformas lietotājas apzinās un ir informēts par to, kā un kāpēc tiek izmantota viņa personīgā informācija. YouTube algoritmi ir gājuši līdzi laikam un izstrādāti tieši tā, lai pielāgotos katram šīs platformas lietotājam, tomēr daudziem jauniešiem vēl joprojām nav skaidrības par to, kā tieši algoritmi izmanto viņu personīgo informāciju, un kā nepakļauties tā uzspiestajām izvēlēm. Bakalaura…
TEAM-BASED INNOVATION CONTESTS FOR CROWDSOURCING: AN EXPLORATORY STUDY ON IDEACONNECTION PLATFORM
2022
Crowdsourcing for innovation contests represents a promising mechanism to access and integrate external ideas. Among various crowdsourcing types, online, team-based contest is one of the most prominent one. The objective of this study is to deepen the understanding of team-based crowdsourcing by exploring specifically the issues that characterise the innovation process of crowdsourcing in a virtual team setting. To empirically pursue this aim, we conducted an interview-based case study leveraging interviews of 106 solvers and 24 facilitators moderating the team of solvers, which have participated in contests through the IdeaConnection crowdsourcing platform. We found that five main issues …
Evidence that water transmits the disease caused by the fish pathogen Photobacterium damselae subsp. damselae
2000
The transmission through water of the disease caused by the fish pathogen, Photobacterium damselae subsp. damselae, as well as the role of the skin mucus in the initial steps of the infection, have been studied. All tested strains resisted the bactericidal activity of the mucus and showed an ability to adhere to it, but only those virulent by the intraperitoneal route were infective through water. Moribund fishes showed the typical signs of the disease: haemorrhaged areas on the body surface and ulcerative lesions with mucus degradation. These results suggest that the pathogen can be transmitted to fish through water and use the skin as a portal of entry.
The Norwegian eHealth Platform: Development Through Cultivation Strategies and Incremental Changes
2017
This chapter describes the conceptualization process, early stage development, and incremental changes in the creation of the Norwegian eHealth platform for patient-oriented services. The platform was launched in 2011 as an information-oriented portal and gradually developed into a complex platform enabling several eHealth services. Some of these services required the linking and reuse of existing components and resources, while other required the creation of novel parts. Overall the process has been driven by strong political will and visions towards making health services more accessible to informed patients. In this chapter we examine this effort as a process of cultivation of the instal…
Stochastic debt sustainability analysis for sovereigns and the scope for optimization modeling
2017
We argue that sovereign debt sustainability analysis must be augmented by stochastic correlated risk factors and a risk measure to capture tail effects. Crisis situations can thus be adequately specified and analyzed with sufficient accuracy to warrant the relevance of policy decisions. In this context there is significant scope for optimization modeling for both strategic planning and operational management. We discuss diverse aspects of the problem of debt sustainability and highlight modeling approaches that can be brought to bear on the problem. Results with the fictitious, but nor unrealistic, Kingdom of Atlantis, which is sinking under excessive debt, illustrate the proposed models.
