Research of Motivational Aspects for Marketing Support of Innovative Activity of Industrial Enterprises
The article is devoted to the theoretical grounding and development of practical recommendations for research and formation of motivational aspects for marketing support of innovative activity of industrial enterprises. Methodology of the research of marketing employees at industrial enterprises is revealed to clarify the motives of their behavior and the impact on existing businesses activity. Use of internal marketing is proposed to enhance the motivation of marketing employees for improving innovative activity of the enterprises. Application of motivational approach of the internal marketing is proved. This application is based on overcoming objections concerning innovation, study of internal incentives and opportunities for self-development and aims to result in a change and/or innovation, which is achieved through the formation of a balanced scorecard of marketing department, which is provides creation of preconditions to stimulate, support and development of innovation. Scientific and practical approaches are developed for the use of a balanced scorecard to determine sub-processes of marketing activities, as well as in assessing loyalty of the marketing employees
Short gamma-ray bursts within 200 Mpc
We present a systematic search for short-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) in the local Universe based on 14 yr of observations with the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory. We cross-correlate the GRB positions with the GLADE catalogue of nearby galaxies, and find no event at a distance ≲100 Mpc and four plausible candidates in the range 100 Mpc ≲ D ≲ 200 Mpc. Although affected by low statistics, this number is higher than the one expected for chance alignments to random galaxies, and possibly suggests a physical association between these bursts and nearby galaxies. By assuming a local origin, we use these events to constrain the range of properties for X-ray counterparts of neutron star mergers. Optical upper limits place tight constraints on the onset of a blue kilonova, and imply either low masses (≲10−3M⊙) of lanthanide-poor ejecta or unfavorable orientations (θ_(obs) ≳ 30 deg). Finally, we derive that the all-sky rate of detectable short GRBs within 200 Mpc is 1.3^(+1.7)_(−0.8) yr⁻¹ (68 per cent confidence interval), and discuss the implications for the GRB outflow structure. If these candidates are instead of cosmological origin, we set a upper limit of ≲2.0 yr⁻¹ (90 per cent confidence interval) to the rate of nearby events detectable with operating gamma-ray observatories, such as Swift and Fermi
Synoptic Sky Surveys and the Diffuse Supernova Neutrino Background: Removing Astrophysical Uncertainties and Revealing Invisible Supernovae
The cumulative (anti)neutrino production from all core-collapse supernovae
within our cosmic horizon gives rise to the diffuse supernova neutrino
background (DSNB), which is on the verge of detectability. The observed flux
depends on supernova physics, but also on the cosmic history of supernova
explosions; currently, the cosmic supernova rate introduces a substantial
(+/-40%) uncertainty, largely through its absolute normalization. However, a
new class of wide-field, repeated-scan (synoptic) optical sky surveys is coming
online, and will map the sky in the time domain with unprecedented depth,
completeness, and dynamic range. We show that these surveys will obtain the
cosmic supernova rate by direct counting, in an unbiased way and with high
statistics, and thus will allow for precise predictions of the DSNB. Upcoming
sky surveys will substantially reduce the uncertainties in the DSNB source
history to an anticipated +/-5% that is dominated by systematics, so that the
observed high-energy flux thus will test supernova neutrino physics. The
portion of the universe (z < 1) accessible to upcoming sky surveys includes the
progenitors of a large fraction (~ 87%) of the expected 10-26 MeV DSNB event
rate. We show that precision determination of the (optically detected) cosmic
supernova history will also make the DSNB into a strong probe of an extra flux
of neutrinos from optically invisible supernovae, which may be unseen either
due to unexpected large dust obscuration in host galaxies, or because some
core-collapse events proceed directly to black hole formation and fail to give
an optical outburst.Comment: 11 pages, 6 figure

Efek Asam Metoksiasetat Terhadap Kondrogenesis Jari Anggota Tubuh Depan Mencit (Mus Musculus) Swiss Webster
Asam metoksiasetat (MAA) dapat mengakibatkan kelainan digit anggota tubuh depan mencit Swiss Webster (SW). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gangguan kondrogenesis jari anggota tubuh depan akibat perlakuan dengan MAA. MAA diberikan secara gavage pada mencit SW umur kebuntingan 11 hari. Penentuan kondrogenesis dilakukan pada rigi jari III dan IV dengan mengamati sayatan plantar tunas anggota tubuh yang diwarnai Hematoksilin-Eosin. Komponen matriks ekstraseluler; asam hialuronat (AH) dan kondroitin sulfat (KS) diwarnai dengan Alcian blue 1%, sedangkan kolagen (KOL) ditentukan dari hasil pewarnaan Azan Heidenhain. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan, bahwa sel mesenkim di wilayah bakal rigi jari IV dan sekitarnya mengalami apoptosis. Sel mesenkim yang bermigrasi ke tempat kondensasi rigi jari IV jumlahnya menurun, sehingga diferensiasi sel mesenkim menjadi kondroblas terganggu, sintesis asam hialuronat AH sedikit, dan hanya meningkat ketika sel mesenkim terkondensasi. Demikan juga kehadiran KS terlambat dan kandungannya rendah, bahkan kolagen tidak ditemukan karena komponen sel yang menyusun rigi jari IV masih berupa kondroblas. Dengan demikian dapat disimpulkan, bahwa MAA mengganggu kondensasi mesenkim pada pembentukan rigi jari akibat jumlah sel yang berkurang, sehingga menghambat diferensiasi sel maupun sintesis komponen matriks ekstrasel rigi jari
Penetration of hot electrons through a cold disordered wire
We study a penetration of an electron with high energy E<<T through strongly
disordered wire of length L<<a (a being the localization length). Such an
electron can loose, but not gain the energy, when hopping from one localized
state to another. We have found a distribution function for the transmission
coefficient t. The typical t remains exponentially small in L/a, but with the
decrement, reduced compared to the case of direct elastic tunnelling. The
distribution function has a relatively strong tail in the domain of anomalously
high t; the average ~(a/L)^2 is controlled by rare configurations of
disorder, corresponding to this tail.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figure
