Abstract

Entrepreneurial intention is an important concept for understanding and promoting entrepreneurship. It is a strong predictor of entrepreneurial behavior, and it can lead to a number of positive benefits for individuals, society, and the economy. This study aims to examine the impact of entrepreneurial intention (EI) on entrepreneurial orientation (EO). It also examines the intervening role of environmental uncertainty (EU). The data were collected from 150 entrepreneurs from active enterprises in the 3 major cities of Pakistan. The information was gathered through a closed-ended questionnaire. Partial least squares structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data. According to the findings, EI impacts positively on EO and EU. Furthermore, EU plays a significant intervening role between EI and EO. The results of this study offer valuable information that the owners of businesses and the Ministry of Commerce may use to support entrepreneurial activities in Pakistan. This may ensure the efficient operation and elimination of organizations' failure to appropriately launch their businesses.

Abstract

Background: In contemporary times, women have gained recognition as accomplished entrepreneurs who make substantial contributions to economic development by virtue of their perseverance, excellence, and expertise. The concept of women's entrepreneurship encompasses the undertaking of creating novel enterprises, with the individual's intention to assume the role of an entrepreneur serving as a pivotal factor in this developmental trajectory. The underperformance of female entrepreneurs is alarming for developing nations. Purposefully, exploring the factors correlating female entrepreneurship intention is highly regarded, and a timely research is needed, thus this study explores the context of Pakistan considered a developing country. Hence, we collected data from listed small and medium enterprises (SMEs) operating in the country by means of structured questionnaires. Using SPSS and Smart-PLS software, we developed a conceptual model and performed analysis. The Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) constitutes a robust psychological framework applicable to understanding and anticipating various human behaviors, first and foremost, entrepreneurial intention. When applying the TPB to the area of women's entrepreneurial intentions, several crucial factors come into play, including motivation, self-confidence, personality traits, and adaptability. The results indicate that factors such as the will to start a business, willingness, personality traits, adaptability, and background factors, including education and experience, impact entrepreneurial intention. Also, their professional careers make them able to launch a business. Based on our findings, we recommend that the Small and Medium Enterprise Development Authority (SMEDA), policymakers, and practitioners may provide various incentives and support systems related to these factors to encourage their own company launches. Prior research has examined various factors that impact the entrepreneurial mindsets of women. However, our study focuses specifically on closely associated aspects that have received limited attention, particularly in the context of Pakistan. This study makes a valuable contribution to the extant body of literature by providing empirical evidence in the aforementioned domains.

Abstract

The early diagnosis of myocardial infarction can significantly improve the survival rate in emergency treatment, which is mainly implemented by the immunoassay for myocardial infarction biomarkers such as cardiac troponins in blood. In this work, a disposable optofluidic microtubule whispering gallery mode (WGM) immunosensor for label-free cardiac troponin I-C (cTnI-C) complex detection has been proposed and demonstrated with active interrogation enhancement. The disposable microtubule is simply fabricated by a silica capillary with pressurized tapering technology for thin-wall, and the cTnI antibodies are immobilized on the inner wall surface of the microtubule through the self-adherent polydopamine substrate. By configuring the two coupling microfibers, the double-fiber-coupled microtubule cavity can serve as a tunable filter for the mutual-coupled polarimetric fiber ring laser (FRL), whose output laser wavelength is determined by the cTnI-C concentration in the optofluidic microtubule with inherent microfluidic channel. Due to the cyclic-cumulative gain of the FRL, the characteristic resonant peak of optical sensing signal is enhanced in the spectral width compression and the optical signal-to-noise ratio improvement, and therefore the optical immunosensor for cTnI-C can be achieved by tracking the output laser wavelength of the FRL conveniently. The dynamic binding and unbinding process of cTnI-C antigen–antibody is illustrated by monitoring the lasing peak wavelength continuously. Our all-fiber immunosensor demonstrated here has the advantages of fast label-free detection, real-time monitor, high sensitivity and disposable sensing element, which can be an innovative detecting tool in early diagnosis of myocardial infarction.
