TL;DR: In this article, a contingency framework for investigating the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and firm performance is proposed. But the authors focus on the business domain and do not consider the economic domain.
Abstract: The primary purpose of this article is to clarify the nature of the entrepreneurial orientation (EO) construct and to propose a contingency framework for investigating the relationship between EO and firm performance. We first explore and refine the dimensions of EO and discuss the usefulness of viewing a firm's EO as a multidimensional construct. Then, drawing on examples from the EO-related contingencies literature, we suggest alternative models (moderating effects, mediating effects, independent effects, interaction effects) for testing the EO-performance relationship.

TL;DR: Application of rigorous research methods enables this survey to be a rich data resource, not only to evaluate policies, but also to gain new insights into the natural history of smoking cessation, through longitudinal analyses of smoker behaviour.
Abstract: This paper outlines the design features, data collection methods and analytic strategies of the International Tobacco Control (ITC) Four Country Survey, a prospective study of more than 2000 longitudinal respondents per country with yearly replenishments. This survey possesses unique features that sets it apart among surveys on tobacco use and cessation. One of these features is the use of theory-driven conceptual models. In this paper, however, the focus is on the two key statistical features of the survey: longitudinal and "quasi-experimental" designs. Although it is often possible to address the same scientific questions with a cross-sectional or a longitudinal study, the latter has the major advantage of being able to distinguish changes over time within individuals from differences among people at baseline (that is, differences between age and cohort effects). Furthermore, quasi-experiments, where countries not implementing a given new tobacco control policy act as the control group to which the country implementing such a policy will be compared, provide much stronger evidence than observational studies on the effects of national-level tobacco control policies. In summary, application of rigorous research methods enables this survey to be a rich data resource, not only to evaluate policies, but also to gain new insights into the natural history of smoking cessation, through longitudinal analyses of smoker behaviour.

TL;DR: In this article, the analyzing power in inclusive charged pion production has been measured using the 200 GeV Fermilab polarized proton beam, and it was shown that at large x(F) the transverse spin of the proton is correlated with that of its quark constituents.

TL;DR: Use of bifocals, instead of single-vision glasses, by children with near-point esophoria seemed to slow myopia progression to a slight degree.
Abstract: Background Bifocals have long been thought to reduce progression of childhood myopia. However, this hypothesis has not been definitively evaluated. Methods We conducted a randomized clinical trial to test the hypothesis that bifocals slow myopia progression in children with near-point esophoria. Eighty-two myopic children were randomized to single-vision glasses (n = 40) or to bifocals with a +1.50 D add (n = 42) and were followed for 30 months. Refraction was measured by an automated refractor after cycloplegia. The primary outcome was myopia progression defined as the difference between the spherical equivalent at baseline and at the 30-month examination, averaged over both eyes. Results Follow-up was incomplete for six children in the bifocal group and one child in the single-vision group. Among the children completing the 30 months of follow up, myopia progression (mean spherical equivalent of the two eyes) averaged 0.99 D for bifocals and 1.24 D for single vision (unadjusted, p = 0.106; adjusted for age, p = 0.046). Treatment groups differed in their cumulative distributions (Kolmogorov-Smirnov procedure, p = 0.031). Evidence for a treatment effect on growth in vitreous chamber depth was similar (p = 0.046 by K.S.). Conclusion Use of bifocals, instead of single-vision glasses, by children with near-point esophoria seemed to slow myopia progression to a slight degree.
