Fashion Designers

In 2012, a Belgian company called Materialise hosted a fashion show featuring designs from a worldwide millinery competition. The featured pieces were paraded down a catwalk by professional models, and an overall winner chosen. What made this fashion show unusual was that the attendees were predominantly clinical and industrial engineers, and the host was a specialist engineering and software development company that emerged in 1990 from a research facility based at Leuven University. Engineers and product designers rather than fashion designers created the millinery and the works were all realized through additive manufacturing technology. This chapter provides an example of how fashion design has become a creative stimulus for the development of the technology. It illustrates how disruptive creativity has the potential to advance scientific research, with the two worlds of engineering and fashion coming together through a collaboration with industrial design. The chapter highlights the challenges and possible implications for preparing trans-disciplinary research teams.

Main Factors

This article helps identify the main factors influencing the performance of small and medium agribusiness enterprises in Kenya. The study proposes five research hypotheses, each tested on a sample of 150 agribusiness enterprises using multiple regression analysis. The results show that the use of external partners, such as scientific research establishments and commercial consultants, influences the firm's performance. This influence is moderated by factors like internal capabilities and the firm's degree of openness to innovation.

By synthesizing domestic and foreign studies related to the scientific research motivation of lecturers, considering the factors of studies models, inheriting suitable research results to build model of factors influencing to the scientific research motivation of lecturers of Hanoi University. This study applied factor analysis (EFA) to explore the factors affecting the motivation of scientific research based on a dataset of 218 teacher responses. At the same time, the research conducted in-depth interviews with 09 lecturers at Hanoi University. The analysis results show that the proposed factors in the model have different influence on the scientific research motivation of Hanoi University lecturers including: Professional competence of lecturers, Lecturer's social issues, Research environment, School’s support for scientific research activities and Lecturers' awareness of scientific research. These factors explained 61.81% of the influence on the scientific research motivation of lecturers.

Conceptual Articulation

The aim of this paper is to establish a conceptual articulation of team confidence in team success in scientific research teams at universities in the province of Jiangsu, China. Many universities have set up scientific research teams in order to produce further scientific research achievements and to promote progress. The study goals of this research are knowledge-based university science research teams. Fundamentally, the main objective of the analysis is to examine the effect of team confidence on team success in scientific research teams at universities in the province of Jiangsu, China. As this is a philosophical paper, to explain the conclusions, this analysis focuses on the empirical and theoretical articulations. Therefore, to achieve the research purpose, current research uses descriptive design as the most suitable study design. The findings indicate that the process variables have continuously attracted the attention of researchers to influence team performance; the relationship between team confidence and team performance has only begun to be explored. Team trust helps team members master team activities, minimise errors and delays, and enhance strategies to accomplish team goals, and develop creative problem-solving skills to better understand key task domains. Even, as successes in scientific research are placed into practical development. It hopes to bring tremendous economic benefits to businesses and the country.

High Level

In China, it has long become imperative for the management of education and science and technology to build high-level scientific and technological innovation teams. Scientifically and accurately identifying core scientific research teams is an important condition for cultivating and building such teams. The absolute threshold method (e.g., c-level clique at, n- clique, k-core) is the prevailing means of identifying core teams and their core members. In fact, effects such as “the preference-dependent effect”, “the apostle effect” and “the star effect”, the cooperative relationship between the researchers is not even. This study, based on the co-authorship network, found that not choosing the absolute threshold properly can easily lead to poor identification of core members of some teams. Even worse, when the absolute threshold is too large, this “uniform” evaluation criterion of tie strength results in the elimination of some core teams in some disciplines. This paper uses relative tie strength to identify core scientific research teams from a new perspective, which can effectively avoid the situation of some core team members being ignored because of the mandatory requirements of the absolute tie strength among members, and can also solve the challenge of threshold selections for identifying different teams.

Abstract This paper studies productivity and preferences in scientific research. Collaboration is increasingly important for innovation in science, and other domains, but we have limited understanding of the factors researchers use to choose their collaborators and the projects they work on. Here, we use a model of strategic network formation and a recently developed econometric method to examine this question in the context of economics researchers. We learn that research teams with more collaborators tend to produce papers with higher impact, without increasing individual costs of communication and coordination. This suggests the trend toward larger research teams in economics will continue.

The University

On the 14th of May, 1987, when it was founded, the unique Ethno- Archeology and History Museum from Iclod had 3 exhibition rooms; nowadays, it has had 12 exhibition rooms. The „soul” of the Museum is the teacher, choreographer and historian Aurel Ioan Bulbuc. During 30 years of activity, the Museum has hosted research teams during excavation campaigns, symposiums, seminars, and conferences – national and international, many celebrations, festivals, puppet shows, film screenings, poetry recitals and readings. The result of the scientific research and of the excavation made by several teams of specialists from Germany, from the University of Kiel, University of Iasi, University of Cluj-Napoca, Institute of Archeology Cluj-Napoca, determined that a fortified city existed 6850 years ago on the territory of Iclod village.
