Entrepreneurial New Firm Survival As A Performance Indicator : A Multi-Level Process Perspective, Szabolcs Németh, Andrea Bikfalvi Phd, Neus Vila-Brunet

Journal of Business & Entrepreneurship

Understanding the survival of new firms requires examining the intricate interplay of internal and external factors across various levels and stages. While existing literature often emphasizes performance metrics, mortality rates, or antecedents of survival, it frequently overlooks the dynamic and continuous nature of entrepreneurial survival. This study extends empirical research on new firm survival through multiple case studies of seven incubated firms within four incubators in Catalonia, north-eastern Spain. aiming to (1) examine new firm survival as a performance indicator by categorizing the elements of the process across various levels and stages; (2) integrate the factors influencing survival by identifying …

Determinants Of Critical Thinking In The Ai Era: The Mediating Role Of Self-Efficacy In Digital Literacy And Students’ Social Interaction, Annisa Arrumaisyah Daulay, Atikah Asna, Devi Eka Yulita Br Tarigan

Buletin Konseling Inovatif

The importance of critical thinking in higher education has become increasingly prominent amid the rapid advancement of digital technology and artificial intelligence. This study aims to examine the effects of social interaction and digital literacy on students’ critical thinking skills, with self-efficacy serving as a mediating variable. Employing a quantitative approach with path analysis, data were collected from 650 university students during the 2024/2025 academic year and analyzed using SmartPLS. The results indicate that self-efficacy has a significant effect on critical thinking (β = 0.455, p < 0.001) and functions as a mediator linking digital literacy (β = 0.286, p < 0.001) and social interaction (β = 0.166, p = 0.001) to critical thinking ability. Furthermore, digital literacy exerts a significant indirect effect on critical thinking through the enhancement of self-efficacy (indirect effect = 0.234, p < 0.001). These findings underscore that strengthening digital literacy and social interaction within educational curricula, along with fostering students’ self-efficacy, can effectively enhance critical thinking skills, which are essential for addressing academic and professional challenges in the digital era.

Pharmacy Faculty Scholarship

ASCPT has a mission to advance clinical pharmacology and translational sciences to reduce health disparities. The development, regulatory, and outcomes (DRO) network within ASCPT strives to advance pharmacoequity globally. Pharmacoequity, coined by Utibe Essien (2021), is the principle that all individuals, regardless of race, ethnicity, geography, or socioeconomic status, should have access to high-quality and evidence-based therapies. This perspective spotlights the network's contributions toward this goal and identifies priority areas to build equitable health outcomes.

Perinatal Depression And Anxiety Among Adolescents: Knowledge, Perception, Care Preferences And Access To Pmh Care, Olajumoke Ojeleye

Creating Healthy Work Environments (CHWE)

Introduction: Pregnant and parenting adolescents (PPA) experience perinatal mental health (PMH) disorders, especially perinatal anxiety (PA) and perinatal depression (PND), 3 - 4 times more in comparison to adult mothers. Despite the burden of PND and PA in this population, most of the existing resources and interventions, are either not readily available or targeted to serve the PMH needs of this vulnerable population. This integrative review aims to capture the current state of the science of PND and PA in PPA, focusing on their PMH knowledge, perception of preventive practices, PMH needs, preferences for care, and access to available PMH …

Intravascular Ultrasound Is More Accurate Than Angiography In Arteriovenous Vascular Access Lesions, James W.

Siracuse, Najia Idrees, Laura Dember, Mohammad Bader, Suvranu Ganguli, Vijaya Kolachalama, Tarek Shazly

Background:

Conventional angiography remains the standard diagnostic modality for arteriovenous (AV) access dysfunction in hemodialysis patients, but its geometric accuracy is limited. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) offers superior lesion detection, yet its absolute measurement accuracy remains uncertain. Using three-dimensional (3D) printed vascular conduits as reference standards, we assessed the accuracy of IVUS versus angiography, hypothesizing that complex conduit geometry, quantified by Gaussian curvature, would exacerbate angiographic error.

Methods

Clinically relevant AV access geometries were modeled with computer-aided design (CAD) and fabricated using 3D printing. Lumen diameters were measured by contrast angiography and IVUS and compared with CAD dimensions. Conduit geometry was …

California: Garment Labels Liable For Wages, Alan Hyde

Dispatches

GARMENT WORKERS IN CALIFORNIA SINCE 2022 may collect their wages, not merely from the production facility that employs them, but alternatively from the garment labels and some retailers for whom the facility produces garments. Such joint and several liability is unique in the world. It has long been the goal of garment worker activists around the world, for garment work everywhere is both low-paid and easily mobile. Wage theft, that is, nonpayment or underpayment of wages, is also common in California (U.S. Department of Labour, 2023). How is the statute working out?
