Bridging Academic Entrepreneurship and the World of Work? Perspectives from Contemporary Educator

This contribution of this study investigates how the use of the AE toolkit can take the lead to a greater appreciation of the university spin-off venture into the real world of work. Nevertheless, no conceptual framework can explain how the technology-market matching proceeds from one stage to another. A longitudinal survey design involving four focus groups was chosen to monitor the development process of group spin-off creation in context. Data collection is also derived from the literature review, in-depth interviews, and a series of workshops and focus group discussions on the Malaysian and Cambodian higher education sectors. Finding shows that the AE toolkit is organized around four mutually dependent themes: (1) the structure of an enterprising university and its culture, (2) university spin-offs (USOs) and applied research, (3) the attribute of academic entrepreneurs and entrepreneurial ecosystem, and (4) spin-off development and community engagements. These theories may offer a more comprehensive insight into the AE process in conjunction with each other. The beliefs of each notion hint at significant consequences for further research on AE and the world of work as a general rule.

Relativistic fermions: Introduction

Some basic concepts needed for the discussion of Fermi fields have been introduced earlier, as in quantum mechanics (QM) with Grassmann variables, a representation by field integrals of the statistical operator e<συπ>−βH</συπ> for the non-relativistic Fermi gas in the formalism of second quantization, and an expression for the evolution operator. Here, it is first recalled how relativistic fermions transform under the spin group. The free action for Dirac fermions is analysed, the relation between fields and particles explained, an expression for the scattering matrix obtained, and the non-relativistic limit of a model of self-coupled massive Dirac fermions derived. A formalism of Euclidean relativistic fermions is then introduced. In the Euclidean formalism: fermions transform under the fundamental representation of the spin group Spin(d) associated with the SO(d) rotation group (spin 1/2 fermions for d = 4). As for the scalar field theory, the Gaussian integral, which corresponds to a free field theory is calculated. Then the generating functional of correlation functions is obtained by adding a source term to the action. The field integral corresponding to a general action with an interaction expandable in powers of the field, can be expressed in terms of a series of Gaussian integrals, which can be calculated, for example, with the help of Wick's theorem. The connection between spin and statistics is verified by a simple perturbative calculation. The appendix describes a few additional properties of the spin group, the algebra of γ matrices, and the corresponding spinors for Euclidean fermions.

THE CANONICAL EIGHT-FORM ON MANIFOLDS WITH HOLONOMY GROUP SPIN(9)

An explicit expression of the canonical 8-form on a Riemannian manifold with a Spin(9)-structure, in terms of the nine local symmetric involutions involved, is given. The list of explicit expressions of all the canonical forms related to Berger's list of holonomy groups is thus completed. Moreover, some results on Spin(9)-structures as G-structures defined by a tensor and on the curvature tensor of the Cayley planes, are obtained.

The following translation is a reduced and revised version of the paper Schicksal Nietzsche? Zu Nietzsches Selbsteinschätzung als Schicksal der Philosophie und der Menschheit (Ecce Homo, Warum ich ein Schicksal bin §1)" - originally published in Nietzsche-Studien 37 (2008) - which was specially prepared to be presented in lecture organized by the Grupo de Pesquisa Spinoza & Nietzsche (Spinoza & Nietzsche research group - SpiN), in the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (Rio de Janeiro's Federal University), on September 14, 2009. In the text, the autor employs his own philological-hermeneutical methodology, which is called contextual interpretation, in the purpose to clarify the concepts of the first aphorism from "Why I am a destiny", from Ecce Homo, in its own context, in the context of Ecce Homo and in the context of the entire work from Nietzsche.

VACUUM-VACUUM AMPLITUDES IN THE THEORY OF QUANTUM RADIATION BY MIRRORS IN 1+1-SPACE AND CHARGES IN 3+1-SPACE

The symmetry between the creation of pairs of massless bosons or fermions by accelerated mirror in 1+1 space and the emission of single photons or scalar quanta by electric or scalar charge in 3+1 space is deepened in this paper. The relation of Bogoliubov coefficients, describing the processes generated by the mirror, with Fourier's components of current or charge density leads to the coicidence of the spin of any disturbances bilinear in scalar or spinor field with the spin of quanta emitted by the electric or scalar charge. The mass and invariant momentum transfer of these disturbances are essential for the relation of Bogoliubov coefficients with invariant singular solutions and Green's functions of wave equations both for 1+1 and 3+1 spaces and especially for the integral relation (20) between these solutions. Namely the last relation leads to the coincidence of the self-action changes and vacuum-vacuum amplitudes for the accelerated mirror in two-dimentional space-time and charge in four-dimentional space-time. Thus, both invariants of the Lorentz group, spin and mass, perform intrinsic role in established symmetry.
