Organoselenium Chemistry Between Synthesis and Biochemistry

Studies seeking to elucidate the Synoptic Problem, the issue of literary dependence among the Synoptic Gospels, often proceed by making close comparisons among the Synoptic Gospels that rely on the idea that the text of each of these Gospels is fixed. Yet, when one turns to the actual manuscripts preserving the Gospels, one finds instead fluid texts with significant variation. Textual critics of the New Testament have attempted to sort through these variations and determine the earliest recoverable text of each of the Gospels, and in doing so, they often adopt a particular approach to the Synoptic Problem. At the same time, one’s approach to the Synoptic Problem is determined by the analysis of the editions established by textual critics. This chapter explores the implications of this circularity by examining a series of parallel passages in different printed synopses and in individual manuscripts.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to analyse how different strategic goals of (micro-, small- and medium-sized firms¼SMEs) relate to the business model innovation (BMI) paths that SMEs take when improving their business. Design/methodology/approach – The authors conducted 11 in-depth case studies involving SMEs innovating their business models (BMs). Findings – The authors found evidence that strategic goals of SMEs (start new business, growth and profitability) lead them to alternative innovation path in terms of BM components affected. Growth seekers start from the right-hand side of a BM Canvas, while profitability seekers start from the back end, the left side of a Canvas; and new businesses adopt a cyclical approach considering BM components in turn, while at the same time redesigning and testing the BM. The findings of this study also indicate that all three paths gradually lead to improvement in several BM components. Research limitations/implications – Findings indicate that a strategic management view in which strategic goals define BMI also applies to SMEs. The distinctive BMI paths that the authors identified provide evidence to suggest that, although the SMEs may not have an explicitly formulated strategy, their strategic goals determine the type of improvements they make to their BM. All three SME groups started their improvements from different BM components and changed several elements in their BMs in a specific order, forming distinctive BMI paths. Finally, to understand the BMI in SMEs better, more research is needed into BMI processes and into the way BMI is managed in SMEs. Practical implications – The findings of this study help SMEs to anticipate the next steps in their path towards an improved BM. By mirroring their approach to the BMI paths, they can better manage their BM makeover process and focus on their innovation activities. For providers of BMI tools and methods, the study indicates which SME innovation tasks could be supported by tools and how the tools should be aligned with the BMI paths. Originality/value – BMI is attracting growing attention in both research and practice. However, knowledge concerning BMI in SMEs is limited. The authors contributed to BMI research by focussing on the BMI paths of SMEs, i.e. the often sequential, non-linear and iterative steps taken to improve the business by making changes to specific BM components.

NEW DATES FOR WORKSHOP (online): The Role of Emotions in Epistemic Practices and Communities, 2021

WORKSHOP NOW ONLINE THROUGHOUT MARCH 2021 Online event, Freie Universität Berlin, March 4, 11, 18 & 25, 2021 Are emotions vehicles of knowledge, and if yes, in virtue of which features? What is the role of emotions in social epistemic practices? What is the impact of local affective arrangements on epistemic communities? In this workshop we will discuss the epistemic value of emotions at the intersection of philosophy of emotion and social epistemology. The aim is to foster an understanding of the role played by emotions in epistemic life. Different philosophical approaches and methodologies are brought into critical conversation.

The Routledge Companion to Global Photographies, 2024

Since the arrival of photography in the region that would become Southeast Asia, its practitioners have created photo communities of different forms and functions. Beginning with an open-ended definition of “communities,” this chapter proposes a typology of four kinds of photo communities that have emerged in the region. They include: (1) photo societies that promoted salon photography; (2) communities that proposed other ways of pursuing photographic art; (3) communities relating to education initiatives; and (4) communities that emerged for the politics of representation. Needless to say, the function of the typology is to serve as a framework of analysis and comparison; it is not meant to be exhaustive. At the end of the chapter, I briefly mention other community-making initiatives that have eluded the present study.
