From Capabilities to Competitive Greening: Managerial Commitment and Green Shared Vision as Serial Mediators in Energy‐Sector SMEs

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Drawing on dynamic capabilities view and upper echelons theory, this study shows how energy‐sector SMEs convert dynamic capabilities into green competitive advantage. We theorize that sensing–seizing–reconfiguring routines are associated with green competitive advantage only when top managers visibly prioritize environmental goals and foster a

Using Inertial Measurement Units to Examine Selected Joint Kinematics in a Road Cycling Sprint: A Series of Single Cases

Sensors
Sprinting plays a significant role in determining the results of road cycling races worldwide. However, currently, there is a lack of systematic research into the kinematics of sprint cycling, especially in an outdoor, environmentally valid setting. This

The β integrin modulates serotonin sensitivity via NPxY motifs to regulate egg laying and mechanosensation behaviors in Caenorhabditis elegans

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Integrin is an αβ heterodimeric receptor to the extracellular matrix; its binding to the matrix recruits focal adhesions to two NPxY motifs, the tyrosine phosphorylation sites in the cytoplasmic domain. Studies found that replacing tyrosines (Y) with phenylalanines (F) in the motif of β1 integrin displayed little developmental or ...

The effect of hamstring flexibility on peak hamstring muscle strain in sprinting

Journal of Sport and Health Science, 2017
Background: The effect of hamstring flexibility on the peak hamstring muscle strains in sprinting, until now, remained unknown, which limited our understanding of risk factors of hamstring muscle strain injury (hamstring injury). As a continuation of our

Transcriptomic signatures reveal systemic adaptations and immune modulation in response to training and competitive racing in horses

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The molecular mechanisms underlying adaptation to physical exertion and racing stress in horses remain incompletely understood. Peripheral blood transcriptomics offers a minimally invasive method to monitor systemic responses to exercise and identify biomarkers of adaptation or overload. Objectives To evaluate transcriptomic changes

I Can't Split Myself in Two (or Five): Job Crafting in Highly Demanding and Interdependent Work Environments

Journal of Organizational Behavior, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Employees in highly demanding, interdependent work environments face a dilemma: while avoidance‐focused job crafting can preserve their own well‐being, these self‐initiated changes to their jobs could negatively affect coworkers. Drawing on qualitative interviews with 81 employees concurrently working for multiple agile teams in a European ...

How should we assess the mechanical properties of lower-limb prosthesis technology used in elite sport?: An initial investigation [PDF]

, 2013
Despite recent controversy, it is not yet formally recognised how lower-limb prosthesis should be assessed for their performance. To assist in this process, experiments are undertaken to investigate the linearity, stiffness and assessment of feet based ...

Incorporating Crowdsourced Data Into Operational Products: A Perspective From a National Meteorological Service

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Future advances in the fields of meteorology and climate science will require scientists to increasingly strive towards the provision of new high‐resolution services. In this context, the development of new products and services along the weather chain may greatly benefit from the adoption of second‐and‐third‐party data (23PD) as a source of high ...
