Factor affecting innovativeness of small and medium enterprises in the five southern border provinces
This study tested a model of factors affecting the innovativeness of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the five southern border provinces using structural equation modeling. Data on innovativeness and its hypothesized antecedents were collected using questionnaires that were mailed to a study sample of 283 entrepreneurs in SMEs in the five southern border provinces. The fit indices showed that the proposed model had a good fit (Ï2 = 207.99, df = 96, GFI = 0.92, p < .001, RMSEA = 0.064, 90% RMSEA = 0.052â0.076, NNFI = 0.97, CFI = 0.98 and SRMR = 0.051). Learning orientation and proactiveness had direct effects on innovativeness, with significant path coefficients of 0.30 and 0.63, respectively. Networking and risk-taking showed indirect effects on innovativeness with path coefficients of 0.63 and 0.48, respectively. The research results can be used to set the guidelines for entrepreneurs to build innovativeness in their enterprises by creating a learning culture/behavior in the organization, building proactiveness, creating a business network with government and the private sector, as well as having courage to take risks when there is an opportunity

AbstractSore throat is a common health problem. The underlying cause is oftenacute pharyngitis. Substantial etiologies are viruses and Streptococcuspyogenes (group A beta-hemolytic streptococci). Differentiation of thecause of pharyngitis is extremely important owing to the need forappropriate drug treatment. Accordingly, this review article incorporatesdetails of sore throat caused by acute pharyngitis, especially infection by S.pyogenes, and strategies for pharyngitis diagnosis in communitypharmacies using clinical manifestations and clinical scoring systems.These could improve diagnostic accuracy and also reduce antibioticoveruse and drug resistance.Keywords: sore throat, pharyngitis, diagnosis āļāļāļāļąāļāļĒāđāļāļāļēāļāļēāļĢāđāļāđāļāļāļāđāļāđāļāļāļāļą āļŦāļēāļāļēāļāļŠāļļāļāļ āļēāļāļāļĩāđāļāļāļāđāļāļĒ āļŠāļēāđāļŦāļāļļāļŠāđāļ§āļāđāļŦāļāđāđāļāļīāļāļāļēāļāļ āļēāļ§āļ°āļāļāļŦāļāļĒāļāļąāļāđāļŠāļāđāļāļĩāļĒāļāļāļĨāļąāļ āđāļāļ·āđāļāļŠāļēāđāļŦāļāļļāļāļĩāđāļŠāļģāļāļąāļ āļāļ·āļ āđāļāļ·āđāļāđāļ§āļĢāļąāļŠāđāļĨāļ°āđāļāļ·āđāļāđāļāļāļāļĩāđāļĢāļĩāļĒāļāļāļīāļStreptococcus pyogenes (group A beta-hemolytic streptococci) āļāļķāđāļāļāļēāļĢāļ§āļīāļāļīāļāļāļąāļĒāđāļĒāļāđāļĢāļāļĄāļĩāļāļ§āļēāļĄāļŠāļģāļāļąāļāļāļĒāđāļēāļāļĒāļīāđāļ āđāļāļ·āđāļāļāļāļēāļāļĄāļĩāļāļĨāļāđāļāļāļēāļĢāđāļĨāļ·āļāļāđāļāđāļĒāļēāđāļāļāļēāļĢāļĢāļąāļāļĐāļēāđāļĢāļāļāļĩāđāļāļđāļāļāđāļāļ āļāļāļāļ§āļēāļĄāļāļĩāđāļāļķāļāđāļāđāļĢāļ§āļāļĢāļ§āļĄāļāđāļāļĄāļđāļĨāđāļāđāļĢāļ·āđāļāļāļāļēāļāļēāļĢāđāļāđāļāļāļāļāļēāļāļ āļēāļ§āļ°āļāļāļŦāļāļĒāļāļąāļāđāļŠāļāđāļāļĩāļĒāļāļāļĨāļąāļ āđāļāļĒāđāļāļāļēāļ°āļāļēāļāđāļāļ·āđāļ S. pyogenes āđāļĨāļ°āļāļēāļĢāļ§āļīāļāļīāļāļāļąāļĒāļ āļēāļ§āļ°āļāļāļŦāļāļĒāļāļąāļāđāļŠāļāđāļāļĢāđāļēāļāļĒāļēāđāļāļĒāđāļāđāļāļēāļāļēāļĢāļāļēāļāļāļĨāļīāļāļīāļāđāļĨāļ°āđāļāļāļāđāļāļēāļĢāđāļŦāđāļāļ°āđāļāļāļāļēāļāļĨāļąāļāļĐāļāļ°āļāļēāļāļāļĨāļīāļāļīāļ (clinical scoring systems) āđāļāļ·āđāļāļāđāļ§āļĒāđāļŦāđāļāļēāļĢāļ§āļīāļāļīāļāļāļąāļĒāđāļĢāļāļāļđāļāļāđāļāļāļĄāļēāļāļāļķāđāļ āļĨāļāļāļēāļĢāļāđāļēāļĒāļĒāļēāļāļāļīāļāļĩāļ§āļāļ°āđāļāļīāļāļāļ§āļēāļĄāļāļģāđāļāđāļ āđāļĨāļ°āļāđāļ§āļĒāļĨāļāļāļāļą āļŦāļēāđāļāļ·āđāļāļāļ·āđāļāļĒāļēāđāļāđāļāļģāļŠāļģāļāļąāļ: āđāļāđāļāļāļ, āļāļāļŦāļāļĒāļāļąāļāđāļŠāļ, āļāļēāļĢāļ§āļīāļāļīāļāļāļą
