How do strategic leaders frame corporate purpose? Investigating competing frames and framing approaches in executive discourse

open access: yesEuropean Management Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Corporate purpose is gaining momentum in contemporary business communities, yet it often appears shrouded in ambiguity. Although research is growing in popularity, the analysis of corporate purpose from the perspective of strategic leaders remains an unexplored domain.

Income Inequalities Between Women And Men In Selected European Countries

open access: yesFolia Oeconomica Stetinensia
Income inequalities between women and men often constitute an important area of research related to social inequalities. Differences in incomes between genders are frequently analyzed in the context of gender equality, social justice, and economic equity.

Expanding the substrate scope of a bacterial monoterpene synthase for the production of sesquiterpenoid and diterpenoid products

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
We have converted the only known true bacterial monoterpene synthase, cineole synthase from Streptomyces clavuligerus (bCinS, C10 substrate), to a highly competent sesquiterpene synthase (C15) with a minimum number of rational mutations. By comparison with diterpene synthases (C20), we were then able to bestow diterpene synthase activity on bCinS. This

Controlling for survey costs when estimating covariances between Pathak estimators in fixed-budget sequential sampling

open access: yesJournal of Economics and Management
Aim/purpose – This work aims to assess stochastic properties of finite population mean estimators under Pathak’s fixed-cost sequential sampling scheme by deriving their covariance and proposing its estimator.

Phycocyanobilin biosynthesis in Galdieria sulphuraria requires isomerization of phycoerythrobilin synthesized by bilin reductases

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The biosynthesis of bilins, tetrapyrroles essential for light harvesting and sensing, is performed by specific enzymes (FDBRs). In Galdieria sulphuraria, both phycobiliprotein types bind phycocyanobilin, despite lacking the canonical synthesizing gene PCYA. Instead, PEBA and PEBB are encoded, producing phycoerythrobilin, proposed to be later isomerized

Energetic stress in combination with impaired fatty acid oxidation induces sequestration of CoA and adaptation of CoA metabolism

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Computational modelling and in vitro liver cell experiments indicate that medium‐chain acyl‐CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD) deficiency causes an accumulation of (especially medium‐chain) acyl‐CoAs at the cost of free CoA (CoASH). A substantial decrease in CoASH impairs flux through many pathways essential for energy homeostasis.

Minimalist, bioinspired and sensorial emulsion based on a Ca2+ double cone vector system using Design of Experiment (DoE)

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
Development of a biomimetic calcium‐based minimalist skin formulation using Design of Experiment (DoE) to correlate key ingredients' effect on the sensory and physico‐chemical properties of the emulsion. Abstract Objectives Innovation is considered a determining factor in the highly competitive environment of the cosmetic industry to introduce products

A novel dual‐decomposition method for non‐convex two‐stage stochastic mixed‐integer quadratically constrained quadratic problems

open access: yesInternational Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract We propose the novel p‐branch‐and‐bound method for solving two‐stage stochastic programming problems whose deterministic equivalents are represented by non‐convex mixed‐integer quadratically constrained quadratic programming (MIQCQP) models. The precision of the solution generated by the p‐branch‐and‐bound method can be arbitrarily adjusted by
