Internationalization and Sustainable Operations: A Broad Investigation of China’s Manufacturing Firms with Implications for Emerging Markets | Author : Tiansen Liu; Yue Zhu; Xinpeng Xing | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :We investigate if internationalization behaviors encourage sustainable operations of China’s manufacturing firms due to their substantial impact on climate change and special governance modes, and organize a heterogeneity test to clarify what kind of internationalization behaviors can robustly influence such operations. We find that firms with abundant assets and heavy-polluting feature are more committed to sustainable operations. Getting close to international sustainability standards, international auditing standards, and international business all improve sustainable operations. Heterogeneity test further shows that compared with international standards, the positive impact of international business on sustainable operation lacks a robustness, which responds to an argument that for one country, international business acts as a double-edged sword. Overall, this paper reveals internationalization as a key indicator significantly influencing economic, ecological, and social spheres in manufacturing sectors of emerging markets, and complying with well-accepted international standards can be significantly embodied in a more optimistic sustainable operations. However, how to deal with international business in a right manner is a research highlight worthy of ongoing discussion. We focus on different types of internationalization behaviors, and this indicator can theoretically inspire future study to dialectically evaluate the role of internationalization in addressing sustainability problems in emerging markets’ pillar industries. |
| Scientific Management of Equipment in Medical Innovation Laboratory | Author : Yongmei Wang; Fangxin Liu; Xiaoyu Li | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Aim; To solve the problem of innovation laboratory instrument management and improve laboratory management level. Method; It is necessary to do an excellent job in managing innovative laboratory equipment by improving the equipment management system, functional division management, appointment registration, and strengthening the construction of management teams to guarantee the cultivation of innovation and entrepreneurship capabilities of undergraduates. Results; The number of innovative experimental projects approved and the number of project groups that the laboratory can accept at the same time was increased significantly. The utilization rate of laboratory equipment has increased, and the vacancy rate has decreased. Conclusion; Excellent instrument management can significantly improve the efficiency of scientific research in the innovation laboratory. |
| New Solutions of Lorentz Transformation III | Author : Tomáš Kafonek | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :This work is my third part of the hypothesis which was originally based on the basic assumptions of the Lorentz transformation and has various consequences. In this first part of the hypothesis [1], I calculated a wave function from the general assumptions of the Lorentz transformation. This wave function describes the spatiotemporal deformations and I use it also in my second part of the hypothesis [2] to calculate the interference and diffraction which resulted in an equation that is not based on complex functions, as is the case with standard calculations. This equation we can examine also, for example, in the context of electron levels in an atom, because interference and diffraction are phenomena related to Young’s experiment, and the wave properties of electrons have been demonstrated. |
