The Relationship

Purpose Fintech is an “untilled field” in which the relation between Fintechs and incumbents is yet to be understood. This paper aims to explore this relationship and advance its theoretical and practical understanding. It further contributes toward Fintech paradigm and research domain emergence that both to date remain yet elusive. Design/methodology/approach This paper adopted a multiple-case study strategy for the purpose of theory building. Seven players from the Fintech ecosystem in Quebec (Canada) were selected, representing financial institutions, Fintech start-ups and Quebec’s financial cluster. Primary data was collected via in-depth interviews with ten respondents at the level of vice presidents, Managers, directors, chief executive officers and founders, and unobtrusive data – in the form of running records, mass-media news reports, presentations and proceedings from Fintech events. Data analysis was informed by grounded theory methods and techniques. Findings Grounded in data, this paper puts forward a typology of “comfort zoning” and its four types: nimbling, imperiling, cocooning and discomforting. Research limitations/implications Following the tenets of the grounded theory, four criteria are used to evaluate the emergent theory: fit, relevance, workability and modifiability. It is expected the interpretation and adoption of comfort zoning typology will be challenged, modified and enhanced by Fintech researchers and practitioners. Practical implications The comfort zoning typology would aid practitioners in their efforts to define and refine the domain of Fintech, problematize it and eventually enhance the relationship between Fintechs. Originality/value This paper fulfills an identified need to explore the relationship between Fintechs and incumbents and advance the theoretical and practical understanding of this relationship.

Effect Of Age

Alterations in the intensity and pattern of spontaneous running activity as rats increase in age from 7 wk to 1 yr was studied in male rats placed in exercise wheel cages. Daily running records were obtained on 27 rats for periods up to 12 mo, and 24-h activity recordings were made of selected runners to study the variation in activity during the day. The data indicate that for rats running over 2,940 revolutions (or 2 miles/day), the maximum intensity of running attained can be divided into a group of high achievers (approximately 8 miles/day) and moderate achievers (averaging 4.5 miles/day). For both groups, spontaneous running activity reached maximal rates after 4–5 wk. This maximal rate was sustained for 7–8 wk, then fell to levels approximately 60% of maximum for 4–5 mo, and then fell again to levels approximately 25% of maximum from 8 to 12 mo of age. The hourly pattern of running activity during the day was defined in rats of increasing age, who averaged 13,280, 6,662, 3,874, and 1,755 rev/day, corresponding to 9.0, 4.5, 2.6, and 1.2 miles/day, respectively. The overall patterns at each level indicated that the major running period occurred between 6:00 P.M. and 6:00 A.M., the greater activity of younger rats was paralleled by faster speeds and longer duration at each hour of the day, and the peak running activity for each group generally occurred between 7:00 and 9:00 P.M. In summary, there is a progressive loss in speed and duration of spontaneous running activity as male rats increase in age, with intensity of exercise falling below 2 miles/day after 7–8 mo of age.

The City

Since 1968 the number of inscriptions newly found in Libya has been limited by the limited scale of excavations; but there has been some compensation from the results of surface surveys and from chance discoveries, especially in rural areas. Although the individual items are not necessarily stirring, they form, when taken together, a valuable base for study of the rural populations, at least within the city territories or near to the Roman forts.There has been, indeed, a steady stream of articles on inscriptions, or using inscriptions. Together with some new texts, they have presented many new readings and interpretations of ones previously published. In addition four small corpora have appeared: of the inscriptions of Apollonia (Reynolds 1976, 293–333), of Berenice (Reynolds 1977, 233–254), of the Jewish inhabitants of Cyrenaica (Lüderitz 1983), and of the Neo-Punic texts of Tripolitania known by 1967 (Levi della Vida and Amadasi Guzzo 1987).Another feature of the twenty years has been the intermittent publication of bibliographies of work in progress (Garbini 1974 (Neo-Punic), Gasperini and Paci 1975, Paci 1979 (Cyrenaica and Tripolitania), Reynolds 1972, 1980a (Cyrenaica), Le Glay 1974 (Tripolitania)). These, together with the running records produced approximately every year (L'Année Epigraphique, L'Année Philologique, Bulletin Epigraphique (in REG), SEG), obviate the need to do more here than note what seems to me to show best where the epigraphic contribution is leading us. The selection is inevitably much influenced by my current interests; it is not at all intended to suggest that what is omitted is lacking in importance.
