In the conclusion the author summarizes his arguments and research findings, bringing in discussions on some of the initiatives taken by the Dalits and other organizations to link up the issues of caste, nature, and Dalit movements. He points towards the new generation of environmental questions, especially in the context of caste, Dalits, identity, ethnicity, minority, democracy, and development. Dalit–Brahmin encounters in the realm of nature have been antagonistic, but there could be some internal commonalities dissolving the differences and complementing each other at complex levels. He concludes that the linkages between nature and caste, ecology and Dalits, are dynamic, and can offer much in academic research, in the fields of both Dalit and environmental studies. A study of the interplay between them can enrich both arenas providing new visions and insights. Traditional environmentalism and environmental politics have built the bedrock of their politics on community and nation. It is not likely that their concerns will be altered altogether. However, the new generation of environmental activism and writings have begun to pay more attention to hitherto unseen people and unheard voices, with conflicting positions.

ABSTRACT Recently there has been much discourse regarding the existence, extent, causes, and consequences of a purported divide between accounting practice and academia. The crux of this issue relates to the charge that many new-generation faculty have a primary focus on academic research, but lack significant practical experience or certification, and the related claim that students may lack the requisite skills upon graduation. This study addresses these concerns by examining the incidence and trend in the possession of practice credentials, experience, and other activities among accounting faculty who graduated between 1994 and 2013. We evaluate how differences in institutional focus, possession of a practice credential, and proportion of credentialed faculty manifest in research propensities, current business experience, and student performance on the CPA exam. We identify a downward trend in practice credential possession that is more pronounced at research-oriented institutions. We further find significant differences in experience and publication activity across levels of both institutional focus and possession of a practice credential. We also find that students from research-oriented universities, schools with separate AACSB accounting accreditation, and those with a higher percentage credentialed faculty perform better on the CPA exam. Other results and the role of adjunct faculty in bridging this alleged divide are also examined.

This paper reveals how the sources of Javanese culture, which has been instilled by parents of children as the new generation of the successor to the family business, can act as values of sources of inspiration which shapes the behavior of entrepreneurship in the creative industry. Entrepreneurship in family businesses uses these Javanese values as the standards of the family's belief, which makes the principles as an identity that guides them in entrepreneurship and creates a way of life in the running entrepreneurialism. The method used in this research is a social constructionist, narrative and interpretive. The narrative-based research approach is done through data collection with depth interview, and non-participatory observation as well as analysis of the theme that create the methodological foundation. The ideas emerged and developed from in narrative face-to-face that became a proposition of research findings. Findings clearly indicate the relationship between Javanese cultures which is owned by parents has been the values that are believed by the second generation and this has motivated their behavior entrepreneurship, and impact the learning element of entrepreneurship, as well as orientation in entrepreneurship.  The internalization of the values of Javanese culture Bapakisme (paternalism) and Rukun (harmony) have motivated the behavior of entrepreneurship when running a business relationship. Javanese cultural values implemented in the form of obedience to parents, keeping harmony, learning competitors, watching of God, sincere, assertive, fortune flows, trust, motivating, cultivation of religious values, and independent values. The research provides new insights into the culture of entrepreneurship at the local level and links the insights to the cultivation of cultural values in entrepreneurship, which is realized in everyday behavior. The construct built provides the possibility of new learning materials for the perpetrators of entrepreneurs in Indonesia, where 47% of the population of Indonesia is Javanese ethnicity.

Academic research that examines different leadership models utilised in the digital age within ICT4D that facilitates the Fourth Industrial Revolution for the marginalised people are scarce. This study focused on the e-Sri Lanka program, initially funded by the World Bank as a unique South Asian project that established a network of 1,005 Nenasala telecentres. Sri Lanka is further focused on building an e-smart, e-inclusive society through ICT4D. In 2020, the Nenasala 2.0 initiative is to be expanded on the Nenasala network to scale up e-society innovations. This context provides an exciting research bedrock to explore. The research findings revealed that leadership at various organisational levels will be key to Nenasala 2.0 and ICT4D program sustainability. The Nenasala model that benefitted from unique community-based leadership was termed socio-cultural leadership. A replication of the study in other developing countries to identify the leadership needed in ICT4D could prove invaluable as it may identify viable complementary options to commercially orientated telecentres.

This chapter discusses the methods, processes, and outcomes of a Comic Relief-funded three-year community development and advocacy programme undertaken with Refugee and Asylum-Seeking Women (RASW) in London. It focuses on how the use of participatory action research and training delivered by RASW can challenge and inform the way in which ‘professionals’ deliver health and legal services to vulnerable communities. The project, undertaken during 2012–15 by Independent Academic Research Services, a London-based charity, was co-designed with participant beneficiaries with the explicit aim of generating institutional change and increased gender sensitivity in the treatment of RASW, both through harnessing research findings to drive policy and practice change and by allowing women themselves to articulate the problems they currently face in terms of accessing appropriate support.

Abstract Background For transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) morbidity- and outcome relevant factors like paravalvular aortic regurgitation, vascular access complications and the need for permanent pacemaker implantation remain key challenges. New-generation devices for TAVR have been optimized to improve clinical outcome. Purpose We aimed to address safety and effectiveness of new-generation TAVR devices compared with earlier generations in a single centre study. Methods We compared 30 days outcome of the new-generation repositionable MER (n=614) and MEP (n=90) and the balloon-expandable ES3 (n=414) valve with the last-generation self-expandable MCV (n=270) and the balloon-expandable SXT (n=103) in patients treated with TAVR between 2009 and 2018. TAVR endpoints and adverse events were defined according to the Valve Academic Research Consortium-2. Results Logistic EuroSCORE I as predictor for risk stratification and 30-day mortality was comparable between both cohorts (27.3%±2.9 new vs 23.0%±1.4 early; p=n.s.). Compared to early-generation devices (MCV/SXT), new-generation devices (MER/MEP/ES3) had significantly higher primary device success (98.9% new vs 96.8% early; p=0.0089), lower incidence of new renal replacement therapy (2.6% new vs 6.2% early; p=0.0028), new permanent pacemaker therapy for conduction disturbances (12.8% new vs 17.0% early; p=0.0394), and disabling bleeding (1.4% new vs 4.0% early; p=0.0040). No difference could be observed concerning incidence of moderate-to-severe paravalvular leakage (4.2% new vs 5.0% early; p=n.s.), stroke (3.3% new vs 2.1% early; p=n.s.), major vascular complications (2.8% new vs 3.5% early; p=n.s.) and 30-day mortality (2.7% new vs 4.4% early; p=n.s). Conclusion Data from the retrospective analysis indicate higher primary device success and lower incidence of renal replacement, pacemaker therapy and disabling bleeding events in new-generation devices, although praised “hot-item” advantages like paravalvular leackage/aortic regurgitation, vascular complications and mortality remain unacknowledged.

The interest in non-coding RNAs, which started more than a decade ago, has still not weakened. A wealth of experimental and clinical studies has suggested the potential of non-coding RNAs, especially the short-sized microRNAs (miRs), to be used as the new generation of therapeutic targets and biomarkers of cardiovascular disease, an ever-growing public health issue in the modern world. Among the hundreds of miRs characterized so far, microRNA-1 (miR-1) and microRNA-21 (miR-21) have received some attention and have been associated with cardiac injury and cardioprotection. In this review article, we summarize the current knowledge of the function of these two miRs in the heart, their association with cardiac injury, and their potential cardioprotective roles and biomarker value. While this field has already been extensively studied, much remains to be done before research findings can be translated into clinical application for patient’s benefit.

This essay, based on academic research on the representation of death, grief and science, deals with the new resurgence of taxidermy in New York City, where a new generation of artists and artisans explore the aesthetic and ethical limits of this practice. As taxidermy deals with lifeless bodies of animals it becomes a delicate issue for many, in which the central element of debate would be around the legitimacy of using the corpse of an animal and the need for preserving or exhibiting it. Different perspectives of this practice are analysed by means of classical taxidermy, the anthropomorphic style or contemporary art based on taxidermy practises, in order to address questions such as: Is ethical taxidermy possible? Is commemorative taxidermy of a beloved pet acceptable? Why does taxidermy appeal or disgust? Is taxidermy controversial just because it questions the limits of life, death and decay? What is the contribution of the new generation of taxidermists? Keywords: art, death, New York City, preservation, taxidermy

Abstract This article focuses on the issue of statistical capacity building of official statisticians using the case of the consumer price index (CPI) as an illustrative example. Although used for indexation of salaries, pensions, and social welfare benefits, but also as an approximation of the general inflation rate, there are several unresolved methodological issues associated with CPI’s calculation. Apart from the choice among two alternative concepts, the challenge of how to include owner-occupied housing (OOH) in CPI has also not been adequately resolved yet. Analysis in the article is based on Slovenian data. The results show that accuracy of the CPI significantly improves if it is calculated using one of the superlative and symmetric formulas, and that it makes sense to include OOH in CPI using the total acquisitions approach. The analysis further indicates that the choice of the index formula for calculating CPI has a much greater impact on the CPI value than inclusion of OOH. Academic research findings such as these should not remain unknown to the wide professional community of official statisticians. Formal channels for knowledge transfer from academia to official statistics providers should be established to facilitate continuous statistical capacity building of official statisticians.
