Comparison of RNA fingerprinting of the avian eggshell gland (ESG) without and with an egg revealed upregulation of a 382-bp cDNA fragment that showed high homology to the mammalian glypican 4 (GPC-4). The gene sequence revealed a conserved glypican signature, a glycosyl phosphatidyl inositol-anchorage site, and cystein residues, most of which were conserved. GPC-4 was expressed in the ESG in a...

Good sustainability decisions depend on how companies respond to wide-ranging exposure exogenous and endogenous pressures. The purpose of the article was determine whether in different industries differently stakeholders’ pressures when prioritising Environmental, Social Governance performance (ESG-SP) activities. Data six sectors, with a total 75 extracted from CSRHub database, which is rating...

Abstract Artificial intelligence methods, based on machine learning models, are rapidly changing financial services, and credit lending in particular, complementing traditional bank with platform lending. While technologies improve user experience possibly lower costs, they may increase risks and, the model that derive from inaccurate rating assessments. In this paper, we will show how to reduc...

There are diverging results in the literature on whether engaging ESG related activities increases or decreases financial and systemic risks of firms. In this study, we explore maintaining higher ratings reduces firms a stock market context. For purpose analyse risk indicators constituent stocks S&P Europe 350 for period January 2016–September 2020, which also partly covers COVID-19 period....

Abstract In recent years attention has increasingly been drawn to factors that improve financial stability. The article systematizes the results of empirical scientific works which evaluate influence climate-related environmental factors, social and related mechanisms corporate governance (ESG) in terms their contribution High ESG ratings, both within each group when they are taken as a whole, ...

MOTIVATION Importance of accurate automatic protein function prediction is ever increasing in the face of a large number of newly sequenced genomes and proteomics data that are awaiting biological interpretation. Conventional methods have focused on high sequence similarity-based annotation transfer which relies on the concept of homology. However, many cases have been reported that simple tran...

Socially and environmentally responsible investing is becoming the benchmark in financial markets. Promoting emerging industries’ environmental performance, social responsibility, corporate governance (ESG) ratings are increasingly consensus of multinational green institutions, investors, governments. This study employs 3100 panel data from 2014 to 2019 conduct empirical research on innovation,...

We compared the cellular fatty acid profiles of Myxococcus xanthus cells grown in either a Casitone-based complex medium or a chemically defined medium. The cells grown in the complex medium had a much higher content of the abundant branched-chain fatty acid iso-15:0 and several other branched-chain species. The higher branched-chain fatty acid content of the cells grown in the complex medium w...

String diagrams provide an intuitive language for expressing networks of interacting processes graphically. A discrete representation of string diagrams, called string graphs, allows for mechanised equational reasoning by double-pushout rewriting. However, one often wishes to express not just single equations, but entire families of equations between diagrams of arbitrary size. To do this we de...
