Strategies Used by Women to Secure SBA\u27s 8(a) and 504 Loan financing
Many woman small business owners lack strategies to obtain Small Business Administration\u27s (SBA) 8(a) and 504 Loan financing to start and grow their businesses. This exploratory case study explored strategies that 5 women business owners used to secure SBA\u27s 8(a) and 504 Loan financing. The TPB and feminist theory were the conceptual frameworks used in this multiple case study. In-depth, semistructured interviews with purposively selected women small business owners supplemented a review of loan acceptances and certifications. Yin\u27s 5-step analysis guided the coding process of participants\u27 responses, and member checking verified the transcription accuracy and that emerging themes and inferences were in accord with participant experiences. The major themes of the study revealed that motivational factors, innovative strategies, and receiving assistance from the SBA enabled women to obtain SBA financing to start and grow successful businesses. All participants noted access to financial resources was the most significant resource that supported the success of their business in the initial phase of starting a business. The study\u27s implications for positive social change include contributing to obtaining finances so that more women can start businesses and add to the economic well-being of society. This study may benefit women small business owners seeking to obtain government business loans to start and grow their businesses

Complex networks: new trends for the analysis of brain connectivity
Today, the human brain can be studied as a whole. Electroencephalography,
magnetoencephalography, or functional magnetic resonance imaging techniques
provide functional connectivity patterns between different brain areas, and
during different pathological and cognitive neuro-dynamical states. In this
Tutorial we review novel complex networks approaches to unveil how brain
networks can efficiently manage local processing and global integration for the
transfer of information, while being at the same time capable of adapting to
satisfy changing neural demands.Comment: Tutorial paper to appear in the Int. J. Bif. Chao

Line and Continuum Variability in Active Galaxies
We compared optical spectroscopic and photometric data for 18 AGN galaxies
over 2 to 3 epochs, with time intervals of typically 5 to 10 years. We used the
Multi-Object Double Spectrograph (MODS) at the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT)
and compared the spectra to data taken from the SDSS database and the
literature. We find variations in the forbidden oxygen lines as well as in the
hydrogen recombination lines of these sources. For 4 of the sources we find
that, within the calibration uncertainties, the variations in continuum and
line spectra of the sources are very small. We argue that it is mainly the
difference in black hole mass between the samples that is responsible for the
different degree of continuum variability. In addition we find that for an
otherwise constant accretion rate the total line variability (dominated by the
narrow line contributions) reverberates the continuum variability with a
dependency . Since
this dependency is prominently expressed in the narrow line emission it implies
that the luminosity dominating part of the narrow line region must be very
compact with a size of the order of at least 10 light years. A comparison to
literature data shows that these findings describe the variability
characteristics of a total of 61 broad and narrow line sources.Comment: 30 pages including the appendix, 18 figures including the appendix.
