Mapping business ethics and society: A systematic journey into research and way forward
While the notion of business ethics has historical roots, previous research endeavours have refrained from consolidating the existing body of knowledge on the intersection of business ethics and society. This hesitance is attributed to the intricate and diverse nature of such studies. Thus, there is a gap in the literature on synthesizing the intimate relationship between business ethics and society. This gap in research serves as the impetus and…

Innovation diffusion: Some new technological substitution models
Three innovation diffusion models of technology (KKKI‐KKKIII) are proposed. The first two of these models are motivated by Smith's model and von Bertalanffy's model already in use in population dynamics. The first model also takes into account the internal and external influences of imitators and innovators. The third model is an improvement over models by Floyd and Fisher‐Pry. It can also be looked upon as a model which takes into account the ef…

Nerve Growth Factor Serum Levels Are Associated With Regional Gray Matter Volume Differences in Schizophrenia Patients
Numerous neuroimaging studies have revealed structural brain abnormalities in schizophrenia patients. There is emerging evidence that dysfunctional nerve growth factor (NGF) signaling may contribute to structural brain alterations found in these patients. In this pilot study, we investigated whether there was a correlation between NGF serum levels and gray matter volume (GMV) in schizophrenia patients. Further, we investigated whether there was a…
BDNF Serum Levels are Associated With White Matter Microstructure in Schizophrenia - A Pilot Study
Brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has been implicated in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. As BDNF regulates axonal and dendritic growth, altered BDNF levels in schizophrenia patients might underlie changes in structural connectivity that have been identified by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We investigated a possible correlation between BDNF serum levels, fiber tract architecture, and regional grey matter volumes in 19 schizophren…

Global and national assessment of the incidence of asthma in children and adolescents from major sources of ambient NO 2
Pediatric asthma incidence has been associated with exposure to nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ) in ambient air. NO 2 is predominantly emitted through fossil fuel use in land transportation, power generation and the burning of solid biofuels in households. We simulated NO 2 with a global atmospheric chemistry model, combined with a land use regression model, to estimate NO 2 exposure in all countries worldwide. The global asthma incidence among children …
