The companies all have varying degrees of ties to Kraft.
In this sense, portfolio entrepreneurship increases the in-degree of ties (i.e., networking occurs, information flows from the outside in), while serial entrepreneurs need to constantly increase the outdegree of ties in order to have sufficiently rich networks.
They are generally those with both high entrepreneurship and high high degree (number of ties with other households) in the social network.
Central actors will be identified by mean degree (number of ties as a proportion of the number of actors), global centrality (the most connected actors within the network) 78 and betweenness centrality (the extent to which an actor lies between actors that would not otherwise be connected).
By contrast, Jeff McMahan has argued that (at least within the bounds of numerical identity) prudential concern also ought to track the degree of psychological ties: prudential concern of two selves at different stages of life for one another ought to weaken in proportion to the weakness of the psychological connection between them (McMahan 2002, 69-82).
The short-form HATLFF 16 was used to measure the degree of tongue-tie.
Term infants <2 weeks old with a mild or moderate degree of tongue-tie, and their mothers who were having difficulties breastfeeding.
National Institute for Health and Care Excellence 5 describes the degree of tongue-tie as varying from mild to severe, with breastfeeding difficulties arising from the inability of the infant to latch and suck effectively.
Eligibility was determined by one of two lactation consultants who observed a breast feed and used the Hazelbaker Assessment Tool for Lingual Frenulum Function 16 (HATLFF-short form) to measure the degree of tongue-tie, and the Latch, Audible swallowing, nipple Type, Comfort, Hold (LATCH) Scale 17 to assess breastfeeding.
And he tries to make his case with a dizzying array of quote-parsing and 6-Degrees-Of-William-Ayers, tying Obama to such despised figures of American history Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson, then going back to early 20th century philosopher John Dewey.
Evidence from randomised trials supports early frenotomy in severe cases of tongue-tie, but debate continues about management of mild moderate degrees of tongue-tie resulting in wide variations in clinical practice.
