A rapid PCR-RFLP method for monitoring genetic variation among commercial mushroom species (pages 390-394)
Paperback Journal (Inquire with Publisher)
PDF Article ($00.00 USD)

Several fungi that are pathogenic in humans, e.g. Candida sp., have been extensively characterized [4]. Fungi also have economic importance because of their application as nutritional foodstuffs and various medicinal and industrial uses [5, 6]. Over 2,000 edible mushroom species have been characterized, although the number of species that have been commercialized is much smaller (Table I). Edible mushrooms have high nutritional value, being high in certain essential amino acids and low in cholesterol. Various medicinal applications of mushrooms have been documented including managing heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and boosting immune function.

​

There is growing interest in developing the industrial and biotechnological potential of species that produce bio-reactive enzymes or secondary products of medicinal or industrial significance. In exploring potential ecological and economic significance, identification and classification of fungi is an important first step.

Impact of Women's Empowerment on [United Nations] SDGs in the Digital Era
($185.25 USD - Release: March 2022)

Women comprise 49.5% of the population, however as per a recent report by the World Economic Forum it will take 118 more years for women to achieve the same career prospects as men. Furthermore, the pandemic has set back many efforts related to reducing the gender gap with an estimated 36 years. It is also concerning to learn that 21% of women have lost employment due to the pandemic and those employed have experienced additional hardships due to child- or family care duties. The impact of women empowerment on SDG is exponential, as their contribution is essential in all domains relevant to our society and economy.

​

The World Health Organization has identified that women represent 70% of the global health workforce and a recently published report by The World Bank highlights that 66.8% of global primary education professionals. As a society we are facing a moral imperative to redesign, reshape and recalibrate our global approach towards women empowerment. This book aims to be a call to action and to offer key stakeholders a few alternative pathways that can address some of the major challenges that fuel the global social and economic gender gap.

​

Target Audience: Policymakers, law makers, regulators, academia, industry leaders, and non-profit organizations.

Dr. Tennin Partial Book Abstract: Women's Entrepreneurship

Women lost more jobs than men during COVID-19. Perhaps due to caring for families and homeschooling children. However, is this really the case? Globally, women of the workforce lost $800B in income the first year of the pandemic. Does workforce include women who work in “corporate America” or corporate jobs? Women who are entrepreneurs also formally and informally employ workers… and themselves. Formally through State Development Authority’s and unemployment offices worker and tax registrations and informally, with independent contractors...

Change Management During Unprecedented Times 
($125.00 USD - Release: June 2023)

While the COVID-19 pandemic, 41.3% of firms reported they shut temporarily because of the pandemic. In the United Kingdom, 32.5% of entrepreneurs stated they were still able to work during the pandemic, in comparison with entrepreneurs in Norway (58.5%), Bosnia and Herzegovina (81.6%), North America (55%), and France (55.9%). Within a global survey for the World Economic Forum, a variety of industries were surveyed, from entrepreneur startups to music festivals, manufacturing companies, and automotive enterprises. Seventy percent of startups reported they had to terminate their full-time employees since the start of the COVID19 pandemic. Only 40% of new enterprises reported they have sufficient earnings to endure three months of operations. 

 

Meanwhile, CNBC advised, because of the pandemic, women lost 64 million jobs and $800 billion in earnings globally. To compare, the American Progress Report presented since the pandemic women lost nearly 5.4 million jobs while men lost 4.4 million jobs. From private experience, with consultation clients in almost 50 nations, working with investment forums, world leaders, presidents of nations, and business owners, Cuyper et al.’s (2020) claims closely resemble what various entrepreneurs stated, even though Bartik et al. (2020) and Stephan et al.'s (2021) claim is necessary too.

​

Crises in economies possess the capability to bring on hardships to both businesses and markets, as well as developing additional institutional voids. 
For example, Bartik et al. (2020) carried out a quantitative survey on the North American small business ecosystem within the Alignable Business Network of 4.6 million companies. Bartik et al. (2020) stated out of all the sample, 7500 businesses replied to taking the resilience survey, where 41.3% of firms reported they shut temporarily because of the COVID-19 pandemic. From the sample, 1.8% stated they shut permanently because of the pandemic, but more or less 55.5% advised they were still able to operate; found a way to stay open and in business (Bartik et al., 2020). Comparably, in the United Kingdom, 32.5% of entrepreneurs stated they were able to work throughout the pandemic versus 58.5% of entrepreneurs in Norway, 81.6% in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and 55.9% in France (Stephan et al., 2021).

​

Businesses help economies not only exist, but to survive and thrive. They also play a role in addressing global social, environmental, and economic issues.  Hence, for many years small businesses have been claimed to be the driving force behind economies existence and stability.

​

Gargi (2019) postulated entrepreneurship regards contributing to economies by employing people and is connected to new technologies and innovations that have the potential to create additional employment for markets.

The new innovations and technologies also possess the ability to be profitable (Gargi, 2019).

​

Conclusively, resilience, education, financial inclusion, digital transformation, strategic partnerships, and particularly change management are needed when crises occur, to save and advance organizational ecosystems and economies. Therefore, knowing about the ideation and processes of change management to improve company negative circumstances are crucial to know. To innovate, improve performance, execute strategy to increase revenue, address risk, implement new systems, processes, or digital transformation to scale, and help stop companies from closing and ultimately from filing for dissolution. As a result, the aim of this book is to provide scholars, leaders, practitioners, and even key stakeholders of economies with different avenues to addressing important challenges companies encounter that impact the global economic landscape. Particularly, to assess the role and effects of change management on institutions, during unprecedented times.

Handbook of Research on Entrepreneurship and Organizational Resilience During Unprecedented Times 
($251.75 USD - Release: April 2022-2023)

This publication will provide researchers and practitioners with new perspectives and tools to deal with the topic of “resilience” at different levels and in different contexts. A focus on emerging countries will be of great value since such countries in transition are facing real challenges of global competition, economic, social, environmental, and sanitary concerns. Few experiences from these countries are reported till now. Managerial, organizational, and entrepreneurial scholars across disciplines discussed the topic of resilience with different perspectives and approaches from developed economies. But much remains unknown about the manner to conceive the concept in recent and unprecedented times (notably in the context COVID-19 pandemic among others) disturbing everyone in their daily life, (family) business, and workplace. 

​

The book tries to explore several promising experiences from emerging countries in different managerial, organizational, and entrepreneurial issues. It will advance new perspectives for future research by investigating different levels with interdisciplinary approaches and more integrative frameworks. Being as capability, “resilience” will be linked to many other concepts (CSR, sustainability, well-being, innovation…). The accepted chapters of the book will focus on different conceptions of performance: individual, team, and organizational performance; success, re-bouncing, well-being, job satisfaction, life satisfaction… This publication aims at having a global appeal, representing experts and researchers from different countries, continents, and universities... for building new theoretical frameworks for the advancement of research in the field and providing new explanations of the phenomenon of resilience for educational purposes.
