85 CARBOXYETHYLGERMANIUM SESQUIOXIDE CONFERS ANTIOXIDATIVE PROTECTION FOR PORCINE IN VITRO-FERTILIZED EMBRYOS

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated both from the environment as well as from within the embryos during normal embryo development. However, excessive production of ROS creates the defective effect on embryo development. The purpose of the present study was to determine the effect of antioxidant, carboxyethylgermanium sesquioxide (Ge-132), during in vitro culture (IVC) on embryonic development in porcine in vitro-fertilized (IVF) embryos. The different concentrations of Ge-132 (0, 100, 200, and 400 μg mL–1) were treated to the zygotes (n = 233, 234, 233, and 234, respectively). All of the experiments were repeated at least three times. To characterise putative porcine embryonic stem cell (ESC) derived from Ge-132 treated IVF blastocysts, several assays including an assessment of intensive alkaline phosphatase activity, embryoid body formation and expression analysis of pluripotency by immunofluorescence staining were performed. In the result of embryo developmental competence, the 100- and 200-μg mL–1 Ge-132 significantly (P < 0.05) increased cleavage rates (67.4% and 67.1%, respectively; P < 0.05) compared with the control group (61.6%). The 100 μg mL–1 Ge-132 had significantly (P < 0.05) higher blastocyst formation rates (32.6%) than the control group (26.5%). The Ge-132 supplement during IVC significantly (P < 0.05) increased GSH levels in embryos compared with those in the control, which led to the reduced ROS level. Two putative ESC lines were successfully derived from porcine IVF embryos cultured in 100 and 200 μg mL–1 Ge-132 treatment. The established putative porcine ESCs showed alkaline phosphatase activity, pluripotency-associated markers such as OCT4 and NANOG and the capacity for embryoid body formation, which confirm the differentiation potentials. Together, these results suggest that Ge-132 supplementations during IVC enhanced the developmental competence of porcine IVF embryos, most likely by increasing intracellular GSH synthesis, reducing ROS level, and it might help the derivation of putative porcine ESCs.

The project descriptions will highlight the different methodological approaches, focusing on their specific innovative features. The paper will evaluate the competencies students gain during their involvement in those kind of projects. To follow a valid scientific approach, the competence matrix of Erpenbeck & Heyse will be presented and used to highlight the specific competences gained by the students working on those projects.

Enhancing the Industrial PhD Programme as a Policy Tool for University—Industry Cooperation

The changing role of universities in society includes the increasing expectation that academic institutions should engage in collaboration with companies. Industrial PhD programmes are educational tools for building bridges between the academic sector and industry. In these programmes, the PhD student studies and carries out research while being employed in a knowledge-based company or R&D agency. Having reviewed current practice in Estonia and elsewhere, suggestions are offered for improving the use of industrial PhD programmes as a cooperation policy tool. It is argued that these enhancements could help to facilitate university–industry cooperation and therefore could foster the transition to a knowledge-based service society and improve productivity.

University-Industry Cooperation Interfaces in Turkey from Academicians’ Perspective

Competitive economies are characterized by continuous emergence of new products. New products are mainly obtained by production of knowledge at universities and by transformation of this knowledge into new technology. Several interfaces (suitable instruments) have been developed in Turkey in order to transform the knowledge that is produced at universities into technology that can be used by the industry. The most important element of this interface is the academician who is the link between university and industry. While there are several factors encouraging academicians to participate in R&D projects through these interfaces, there are other factors preventing them from doing so. In other words, some interface models facilitate university-industry cooperation, some others have serious disadvantages. This study aims to determine the advantages and disadvantages of various university-industry cooperation interfaces from the perspective of academicians. To evaluate the interfaces, a field survey with academicians was conducted using questionnaires. The perceived positive/negative aspects of the cooperation interfaces have been summarized and assessed based on the responses.

In this paper we investigate relation between participation and satisfaction of industry-university co-program with the view of evaluating performance of industry-university cooperation. The importance rank and satisfaction of university-industry co-programs have statistically positive correlation. In regression model, the number of participating co-programs affects the general satisfaction positively. These results implement that the companies have interest in 'industry-university cooperation forum' in initial stage of industry university cooperation, and take part in 'technology co-development program' and gradually enhance availability of other co-programs.

University–industry cooperation: Researchers’ motivations and interaction channels

The objective of this study is to examine the interface between researchers' motivations and interaction channels concerning university-industry cooperation. For this purpose, we conducted a case study in a medium-sized higher education institution in Portugal. Interviews with university management and documentary analysis served for data-collection. We found that the traditional service and bi-directional channels play an important role in interaction with industry. Use of these channels depends on researchers' motivations and disciplinary affiliation. Moreover, we make an argument for the relevance of intermediators in the interaction. Several implications are presented.

A Study about Project Management for Industry-University Cooperation Dilemma

Abstract As for strategic theory, industry-university cooperation is defined as an essential core functionality of industrial clusters. Industry-university cooperation has been recognized as an important strategy to make innovation happen in an industrial society today. Industry-university cooperation to organize a team that functions organizationally with a fixed-term at a university and the company, and can be defined as a project to address a purpose and values different from the past. Therefore, all those who have an interest in industry-university cooperation must be self-transforming. However, the need for self-transformation of individuals has not been strongly recognized up until now. In industry-university cooperation, conflicts of interest often exist. Therefore, those individuals interested in industry-university cooperation are faced with a dilemma. The purpose of this study is to reveal differences in values of the individuals in the company and that of the academic individual that produce such dilemmas. On top of that, the promotion of industry-university cooperation, project management methodologies on elimination of dilemmas arising from the difference in values are considered.

On the role of university in the promotion of innovation: exploratory evidences from a university-industry cooperation experience in Brazil

This paper addresses firms’ efforts to innovate through collaborative R&D carried with research universities in Brazil. In Brazil, the resources of federal and state agencies, along with the universities’ infrastructure, act as a link to enhance this endeavour. This study examines university-industry interaction in pursuit of innovation using a bibliographical review and a case study involving two state universities and four companies in the Brazilian state of Sao Paulo. The paper suggests that new policies are required to promote a level of university-industry cooperation in Brazil in which universities can better capture the positive economic externalities arising out of cooperation.

Proximity factors influencing academics’ decisions to cooperate with industrial organizations

Stakeholders within regional innovative systems tend to emphasize universities’ roles as territorial actors and encourage them to maximize university–industry cooperation inside the region. However, where universities are better connected to external partners, their connections may be more naturally focused out of the region. This article assesses the role of proximity in academics’ decisions to collaborate with business partners, and the circumstances under which local partners might be chosen over distant partners. The hypothesis of this study is that proximity may drive stronger university–industry connectivity. Using a case study of five research institutes of the University of Twente in the Netherlands, I argue that geographical proximity is not a prerequisite for a university–industry interaction inside a region, whereas the other types of proximity play a significant role in building local partnerships. This has important implications for improving the connectedness between academics and their industrial partners at the regional level.
