Vulnerable Community

This study presents the financial progression of an associative initiative of a vulnerable community in Colombia, from early stages to growth. Initially, basic financial concepts are presented, together with the phases traditionally defined by previous literature. The case is then presented in terms of funding alternatives for entrepreneurs in Colombia, stages followed by the association and funding throughout such stages. Results show that even though the case under analysis presents similar features to those of new ventures started by non-vulnerable individuals, its specificities make it unique; concepts anticipated by existing literature were not fully applicable in this case. A set of issues and solutions are presented regarding entrepreneurial finance for vulnerable communities and in particular, for the case under analysis. Finally, further avenues of research and conclusions are presented.

Uterine Mucosa

The finer vascular system of the extra-placental uterine mucosa of the rabbit during oestrus and the early stages of pregnancy and pseudopregnancy was studied by means of the benzidine-nitroprusside blood stain and by injection. In the oestrous uterus there is a marked mesometrial hyperaemia which intensifies during the early stages of pregnancy and pseudopregnancy. No spiral arteries nor arterio-venous anastomoses were found in the uterine endometrium. During the early stages of pregnancy, as the uterine mucosa proliferates, there is an intense growth of new blood vessels, accompanied by a corresponding increase in the amount of blood in the vessels. This occurs throughout the uterus at first, but after 8 days post coitum the increase continues around the conceptus but slows down and finally stops between the conceptuses and in the pseudopregnant horn. When the trophoblast of the blastocyst wall fuses with the uterine epithelium the fusion areas become well vascularized. It is suggested that this vascularization is stimulated by the invading trophoblast. The trophoblast actually breaks down the walls of the maternal capillaries and allows the maternal blood to bathe the embryonic syncytium and during the time that this is happening there is a marked leucocytosis around the fusion areas. The results are discussed in relation to the previous literature and to their possible physiological significance.

The Impact

In the XXI century, it is crucial for people belonging to vulnerable and highly marginalized communities have access to telecommunications and have the minimum skills required to use technology, as they are rapidly becoming a tool for transmitting and obtaining information. In today information society, remains a digital divide between those who have access to technological computing resources and Internet, and those who do not, presenting a constant challenge for the development of our people. This paper analyzes the impact of a mixed training program, called: REBREDIG-PJA for the reduction of the digital divide in young and adult people from a vulnerable community in southeastern Mexico, which presents high levels of social marginalization. The results of this study are discussed under the guidelines of the National Development Plan (2013-2018) and the National Digital Strategy (2013) for Mexico and are compared with the guidelines stated in the State Development Plan (2012-2018) for Yucatan.

The emergence of entrepreneurial finance as a research field is the result of a double interest from both entrepreneurship researchers and financiers. Indeed, researchers focus on the financial fact existing in all entrepreneurial projects, while financiers consider that entrepreneurial situations have specific features that we should lean on. Our article is a presentation of the basic mechanisms of the entrepreneurial Finance, and its relationship with the entrepreneurial venture in its early stages; it will also focus on the theoretical aspect on both the Agency theory and its developments, as well as on the emerging organization that takes into account the evolution of the Startups reality. Finally, we will make a presentation of the different modes of financing Startups. Our report reveals that little work was spent on funding the very beginnings of the entrepreneurial venture. To this end, the Finance business tends to stand out from the corporate finance by different concepts and new issues, including the notions of startup, TPE or ' gazelles', that are frequently used at the expense of the notion of firms or groups.

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has over the past decades transformed from a philanthropic attribute to something compulsory. It has become the imperative duty of organisations, irrespective of their size, nature of business and age. However, because of poor financial capabilities and lack of support, newly established ventures too often fail to voluntarily participate in social and environmental activities. This is one reason why national governments have initiated various programs and policies to encourage CSR and environmental activities in new ventures. However, previous studies have yet to fully reveal the effects of entrepreneurial finance on CSR and the environmental, financial and innovative performance of newly established ventures. To fill this gap, we used a survey to gather empirical evidence from 255 newly established ventures. The results indicate that entrepreneurial finance directly contributes to financial performance, while indirectly contributing to environmental and innovative performance through CSR. Our research recommends that new ventures efficiently utilise entrepreneurial finance to configure CSR activities that achieve high profitability, and environmental and innovative performance. Moreover, our research encourages governments to make financial loans to ventures engaged in social and environmental activities to help them reach their sustainable development goals.

Remote Indigenous Community

Empowerment of isolated and vulnerable communities in saving and preserving the environment is one of the development goals. Awareness of the communities plays an important role in saving and preserving the environment. The awareness cannot be separated from the level of knowledge about various things related to the environment itself. Knowledge that someone has may affect his/her attitude and behaviour. However, some people in the isolated and vulnerable communities do not know how to keep the environment clean and how to clear their land. Furthermore, some of the people do not care about their environment. This study aims to analyse environmental knowledge of Bonai ethnic isolated and vulnerable community of Rokan Hulu Regency of Riau province. Data of the study are collected from questionnaires, interviews and document analysis related to environmental knowledge of the isolated and vulnerable community. The method used in this study is the descriptive quantitative-qualitative method that describes the level of environmental knowledge of the community by using quantitative data. The technique used to analyse the data is the percentage technique. Then, the data are qualitatively interpreted. The research findings reveal that the environmental knowledge of Bonai community does vary in terms of gender, age, education level and profession. The isolated and vulnerable community status has a significant correlation to environmental knowledge of the community. In conclusion, the level of knowledge of Bonai isolated and vulnerable community belongs to the low category

International Behavior

This article deals with two important concepts in the prior literature on the internationalization process: age at entry and export experience. Against previous research, we analyze how both of them influence simultaneously international behavior in the early stages of the internationalization process as a trade-off. For that aim, we analyze the influence of both variables on international behavior in the early stages of the internationalization process, from a dynamic perspective, looking at initial export behavior and speed during this period. We analyze export development process of 106 Spanish small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), most of them international new ventures, in their first 8 years of export activity, combining the effect of age at entry and experiential learning during this period, finding that age at entry and export experience exert not only a direct effect but also a moderation influence on initial export development, observing a trade-off between such influence as experience grows.

We argue that creating novel ventures consists of inductive analogical or metaphorical reasoning, which generates a platform for the creation and commercialization of novel ventures andfacilities the comprehension and justification of a vent lire. We argue that such inductive reasoning is shaped by two determinants (the applicability of prior entrepreneurial experience and the motivation to resolve uncertainly and acquire legitimacy) that interrelate to predict and explain pattern of analogical and metaphorical reasoning by which novice and experienced entrepreneurs construct meaning for themselves as well as others in the early stages of creating a venture

Our understanding of the structure and the formation of inorganic minerals in the bivalve shells has been considerably advanced by the use of electron microscope. However, very little is known about the ultrastructure of valves in the larval stage of the oysters. The present study examines the developmental changes which occur between the time of conception to the early stages of Dissoconch in the Crassostrea virginica(Gmelin), focusing on the initial deposition of inorganic crystals by the oysters.The spawning was induced by elevating the temperature of the seawater where the adult oysters were conditioned. The eggs and sperm were collected separately, then immediately mixed for the fertilizations to occur. Fertilized animals were kept in the incubator where various stages of development were stopped and observed. The detailed analysis of the early stages of growth showed that CaCO3 crystals(aragonite), with orthorhombic crystal structure, are deposited as early as gastrula stage(Figuresla-b). The next stage in development, the prodissoconch, revealed that the crystal orientation is in the form of spherulites.
