ABSTRACT This article explores the management adaptation strategies non‐governmental organizations (NGOs) managers employ in order to operate in repressive political environments. It answers the question: how do NGO managers initiate, manage and sustain internal change when the political/regulatory environment changes?

Multiparameter discrete Morse theory
The main objective of this paper is to extend Morse-Forman theory to vector-valued functions. This is mostly motivated by the need to develop new tools and methods to compute multiparameter persistence. To generalize the theory, in addition to adapting the main definitions and results of Forman to this vectorial setting, we use concepts of ...

Abstract Intranasal diamorphine (IND), approved for managing breakthrough pain in the UK, has been identified as an acceptable alternative offering effective, expedient, and less traumatic analgesia for children. However, the current dose regimen in pediatric populations relies on clinical expertise while the pharmacokinetics properties are poorly ...

Towards a Morse theory on Banach spaces via ultrafunctions
Morse Theory on Banach spaces would be a useful tool in nonlinear analysis but its development is hindered by many technical problems. In this paper we present an approach based on a new notion of generalized functions called “ultrafunctions” which ...

ABSTRACT Rationale Ions trapped within a Penning cell (ICR) travel periodic orbits whose frequencies are dependent on their mass‐to‐charge ratio and the value of the magnetic field passing through the trap. Fourier transformation (FT‐ICR) decomposes the signal induced in the detection circuit by the rotation of the ions in the cell after the ...

Identity Play: Middle School Youths' Provisional Self‐Making in Horizon‐Expanding STEM Spaces
ABSTRACT This study introduces identity play as an analytic construct for science education to explore improvisational dimensions of middle school students' STEM identity development in multiple out‐of‐school learning experiences focused on environmental problem‐solving.

In this paper, we study a class of biharmonic equations with a singular potential in RN $\mathbb{R}^{N}$. Under appropriate assumptions on the nonlinearity, we establish some existence results via the Morse theory and variational methods.

ABSTRACT How important is structural transformation for poverty reduction in the region of the Intergovernmental Authority on Development? The novelty of the study lies in examining the relationship between structural transformation and poverty in the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) region using a sectoral analysis with a focus on ...

ABSTRACT Pension funds are the largest combined institutional investors in the world. The integration of ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) criteria into defined contribution (DC) pension investments by pension funds can result in sustainable pensions that are in line with pension beneficiary preferences and help achieve Sustainable Development
