lnternational joint ventures (UVs) are perceived as essential strategic weaponsby which firms can transfer the complex complementary competencies neededfor competitive advantage within firms' core markets and technologies. Thisstudy attempts to explore the relationship of inter-partner credible threat andthe survival of UVs in China. The study found that the existence of inter-partnercredible threat, and high product relatedness between foreign parent and IJV,favorably influence the UV's long-term survival.

The article researches the issue of personnel loyalty /commitment as affecting organizational competitive potential. The author aims at creating a systematic approach to personnel loyalty management and drawing up a loyalty-type-specific plan of personnel loyalty development. With long-term survival prospects making it any organization´s imperative to treat its personnel loyalty / commitment as a contributor to competitive advantage, research into the issue is gaining momentum. In terms of management, personnel loyalty / commitment is viewed as an effective driver of an organization´s efficiency, lending to HR stability, raising the organization´s competitive potential and improving performance. Thus, creating a personnel loyalty / commitment management system is an increasingly pressing matter.

302 Background: The preoperative stage and intraoperative stage of gastric cancer were unified as the clinical stage in the 8th edition of the TNM classification (UICC). Although there are some reports about the relationship between preoperative stage and prognosis, the relationship between intraoperative stage and prognosis remains unclear. The aim of this study was to clarify the impact of intraoperative diagnosis and staging on long-term survival. Methods: Overall survivals were examined in 915 patients who underwent curative resection for gastric adenocarcinoma between April 2011 and March 2019 in our hospital. Results: The median age of the patients was 69 years (27-90 years), including 585 male and 330 female. The median follow-up period was 33.6 months (0.1-86.7 months). The number of the patients according to intraoperative stage were 641(70.1 %) in stageI, 15(1.6%) in stageIIA, 135(14.8%) in stageIIB, 111(12.1%) in stageIII, 12(1.3%) in stageIVA and 1(0.1%) in stageIVB. The hazard ratios of intraoperative stage for overall survival were as follows (ref: StageI); StageIIA, 6.990 (95% CI: 2.473-19.760, p < 0.001), StageIIB, 2.234 (95% CI: 1.220-4.092, p = 0.009), StageIII, 4.091 (95% CI: 2.416-6.928, p < 0.001), StageIVA, 6.061 (95% CI: 2.150-17.080, p < 0.001), StageIVB, 14.92 (95% CI: 2.035-109.3, p = 0.008). Conclusions: The survival of intraoperative StageIIA was poorer than StageIIB/III. Intraoperative positive lymph node metastasis could be negative impact of survival, even if tumor invasion was T1 or T2.

AbstractThis study used Balb/c mice to examine the longevity ofEchinostoma caproni. Five mice each exposed to 75 encysted metacercariae (cysts) were necropsied at 23 weeks postinfection (PI) (160 days PI). Two of the 5 were infected with a total of 33 worms; 23 in one mouse and 10 in the other. Body and organ area measurements showed that these worms were robust and normal in appearance. No signs of atrophy of any of the genital structures were observed. The mean ± SE of eggs/uterus per worm (n = 10) was 243 ± 6. This strain of mouse will be suitable to study the effect of long-term survival on the host–parasite relationship ofE. caproniin Balb/c mice.

Long-term survival is one of the main goals of family business. Nevertheless, very few firms survive to the third generation. The concept of organizational ambidexterity could add insights into the explanation of family firm (FF) survival. In the literature, organizational ambidexterity is defined as the capability to explore new knowledge, processes, and opportunities while exploiting current ones to achieve a greater competitive advantage and ensure the survival of the firm. The aim of this chapter is to review the literature that analyzes relationships between FF specificities and organizational ambidexterity to propose a framework of the antecedents of ambidexterity in this context. This could be a useful tool to better identify FF specificities that will support long-term survival through their influence on organizational ambidexterity.

Abstract Objective: The purpose of this study was to identify the relationship between coagulopathy during the perioperative period (before the operation and on the first day after the operation) and the long-term survival of TBI patients undergoing surgery, as well as to explore the predisposing risk factors that may cause perioperative coagulopathy.Methods: This retrospective study included 447 TBI patients who underwent surgery from January 1, 2015 to April 25, 2019. Clinical parameters, including patient demographic characteristics, biochemical tests, perioperative coagulation function tests (before the operation and on the first day after the operation) and intraoperative factors were collected. Log-rank univariate analysis and Cox regression models were conducted to assess the relationship between perioperative coagulopathy and the long-term survival of TBI patients. Furthermore, univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify the underlying risk factors for perioperative coagulopathy.Results: Multivariate Cox regression analysis identified age, AIS(head) = 5, GCS ≤ 8, systolic pressure at admission < 90 mmHg and postoperative coagulopathy (all P < 0.05) as independent risk factors for survival following TBI; we were the first to identify postoperative coagulopathy as an independent risk factor. According to multivariate logistic regression analysis, for the first time, abnormal ALT and RBC at admission, preoperative coagulopathy, infusion of colloidal solution > 1100 mL and intraoperative bleeding > 950 mL (all P < 0.005) were identified as independent risk factors for postoperative coagulation following surgery after TBI.Conclusions: Those who suffered from postoperative coagulopathy due to TBI had a higher hazard for poor prognosis than those who did not. Closer attention should be paid to postoperative coagulopathy and more emphasis should be placed on managing the underlying risk factors.
