Language, Socialization and Networks: Knowledge Creation in Globalized Business Schools

The paper explores antecedents of knowledge creation in a globalized business school industry. We focus on linguistic socialization of researchers as a contingency factor which influences the ability of academics to extract value from the quality of their professional socialization and from social capital embedded in their knowledge network (1)

Between symbolic and social capital: A structuration theory approach to academic productivity

Our purpose in this paper is to explore the roots of individual career productivity, in particular if successful individuals can mitigate the consequences of an unfavorable initial anchoring in their industry by engaging in subsequent proactive adjustment to achieve a high level of research productivity. Our dataset follows the career paths of 391 academics from 23 Financial Times ranked business schools from North America, Europe and Asia

A Comprehensive and Multi-Purpose Global Research Performance Information System

We develop a research performance information system that compares the volume and impact of peer reviewed business publications by 2720 institutions across 111 countries. We step away from traditional ranking-based ordinal scales, developing a system that facilitates assessment of research performance using methods that are reliably, validly, and transparently

Czar e seu povo: poder e sociedade no estado de Moscou durante a segunda metade do século XVI

The article raises the issue about the nature of the relationship between the supreme power and society of the early Russian state. The article proceeded from the well-known phrase of the imperial diplomat S. Herberstein, who wrote about the “slave essence” of Russians in the middle of the XVIth century. The authors of the article argue that this erroneous opinion was based on incorrect and wrongly interpreted official relations, which constituted one of the cornerstones of the Moscow political system and which was quite clear. Meanwhile, according to the authors, there was also a different, “internal” level of interrelations, based on unwritten “contract” between the supreme power and society, involving mutual obligations between the “contract” parties. The authors of the article show that this unwritten contract, which was well understood by both parties, who participated in it, functioned well in Russia during the 16th — 17th centuries, and its existence refutes convincingly the Herberstein's passage, who failed to understand the Russian political realities of the early Modern Age.El artículo plantea el problema sobre la naturaleza de la relación entre el poder supremo y la sociedad del estado ruso primitivo.

Development of a method for molecular subtyping <i>Bacillus anthracis</i> using HRM PCR

Introduction. Bacillus anthracis is the causative agent of anthrax, a pathogen characterized by high genetic monomorphism that complicates differentiation of strains. Thus, molecular methods for pathogen typing require the improvement. The aim of the study. To select marker SNPs for new genetic groups of B. anthracis and to develop a method for their laboratory identification using HRM PCR. Materials and methods. The core genome of 222 strains of B. anthracis from the GenBank database and 66 strains from the collection of pathogenic microorganisms of the Stavropol Anti-Plague Institute was aligned using the parsnp software. A dendrogram based on 7242 core genome SNPs was built in MEGA X software. The strains for validation of the HRM method included representatives of various genetic groups. The HRM PCR reaction was performed using the "Type-it HRM PCR Kit" and "KAPA HRM FAST qPCR Kit" and a Rotor Gene DNA thermocycler with HRM function. Data analysis and visualization were performed using custom scripts in the Python and R development environments. Results and discussion. Marker SNPs for 6 genetic groups have been identified, which make it possible to determine whether strains belong to one of 7 new subclusters. Pairs of primers were selected for the loci containing them, HRM PCR parameters were optimized for discrimination of different alleles of SNP loci, and an analysis scheme was developed. Conclusion. Thus, marker SNPs were selected to determine the genetic subclusters A.Br.CEA, A.Br.STI, A.Br.Tsiankovskii, B.Br.Europe, B.Br.Siberia, B.Br.Asia, B.Br.018, and a new laboratory method was developed for molecular subtyping of B. anthracis using HRM PCR
