Diurnal Differences in Glycaemic Responses to Meals Containing Different Bread Types among Persons at Risk for Type 2 Diabetes—Preliminary Results from a CarbHealth Sub-Study by Alena M. Schadow, Marc Gartner, Bianca Stutz, Bettina Krueger, Jutta Dierkes, Anette E. Buyken

“…Hence, we determined whether diurnal differences between morning and evening meals containing breads could be observed among persons at risk of T2DM consuming different breads as part of their habitual diet. Methods: Analysis based on data from a multicentre randomised controlled trial (CarbHealth) conducted among participants with prediabetes at four study sites (Germany, Norway, Sweden) who received either a ß-glucan-enriched bread or a non-enriched wholegrain control bread to replace their habitually consumed bread for 16 weeks. …”

Rationing as a Normative Principle of Ecosystem Interaction’s Financing by N. M. Abdikeev, I. M. Stepnov, J. A. Kovalchuk

“…It is shown that the distinctive feature between the corporate and ecosystem approach is the use of rationing as additional restrictions to financial decisions based on public and private sources of financial resources available in business ecosystems. Research methods, on the one hand, are based on a key methodology — the emerging ecosystem’s theory in the part where it replaces the firm’s theory, taking into account the provisions of the credit rationing theory as an application to corporate finance, on the other hand, the conceptual provisions of the theory of constraints in relation to finance are taken into account. …”
