Entrepreneurship Education and Entrepreneurial Intention: Perspectives on Institutional Theory
Entrepreneurial intentions have been considered a critical element understanding the formation of new venture creations that have been seen in creating jobs and economic growth in a country. This study draws upon institutional environment theory to clarify and test the model using multiple linear regression on entrepreneurship education and three determinants of institutional environment dimensions, namely, regulatory, cogni-tive, and normative dimensions toward entrepreneurial intentions in the context of Esto-nia. A questionnaire-based survey on 265 Estonian university students was conducted to validate the hypotheses of the study. The results suggest that entrepreneurship education has a significant influence on university students’ entrepreneurial intention. Additionally, all three institutional environment determinants moderate the positive relationship be-tween entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial intention. Interestingly, interaction terms among normative environment, entrepreneurship education, and entrepreneurial intention are statistically significant. Therefore, the results of this study advance institu-tional theory and its application in entrepreneurship research in the context of Estonia.

Black hole solution and strong gravitational lensing in Eddington-inspired Born-Infeld gravity
A new theory of gravity called Eddington-inspired Born-Infeld (EiBI) gravity
was recently proposed by Ba\~{n}ados and Ferreira. This theory leads to some
exciting new features, such as free of cosmological singularities. In this
paper, we first obtain a charged EiBI black hole solution with a nonvanishing
cosmological constant when the electromagnetic field is included in. Then based
on it, we study the strong gravitational lensing by the asymptotic flat charged
EiBI black hole. The strong deflection limit coefficients and observables are
shown to closely depend on the additional coupling parameter in the
EiBI gravity. It is found that, compared with the corresponding charged black
hole in general relativity, the positive coupling parameter will
shrink the black hole horizon and photon sphere. Moreover, the coupling
parameter will decrease the angular position and relative magnitudes of the
relativistic images, while increase the angular separation, which may shine new
light on testing such gravity theory in near future by the astronomical
instruments.Comment: 14 pages, 7 figures, 1 table. Two issues on the deflection angle and
photon sphere were corrected and clarifie
