A Triple Helix (TH) of bi- and trilateral relations among universities, industries, and governments can be considered as an ecosystem in which uncertainty can be reduced auto-catalytically. The correlations among the distributions of relations span a vector space in which two vectors (Pand Q) represent "sending" and "receiving," respectively. These vectors can also be understood in terms of the generation versus reduction of uncertainty in the communication field that results from interactions among the three (bi-lateral) communication channels. We specify a set of Lotka-Volterra equations between the vectors that can be solved. Redundancy generation can then be simulated and the results can be decomposed in terms of the TH components. Among other things, we show that the strength and frequency of the relations are independent parameters. Different components in terms of frequencies in triple-helix systems can also be distinguished and interpreted using Fourier analysis of the empirical time-series. The case of co-authorship relations in Japan is analyzed as an empirical example; but "triple contingencies" in an ecosystem of relations can also be considered more generally as a model for redundancy generation by providing meaning to the (Shannon-type) information in inter-human communications.

By the way, all the information related to the event is available at the Society for the Advancement of Socio-Economics webpage (www.sase.org).
July 2013 issue of Education Research (ISSN: 2141-5161) is out
In this issue ER present 7 papers, one review and six research articles, from Brunei (1 paper), United States (1 paper), Nigeria (2 papers), Indonesia (one paper) and Kenya (two papers). Several topics are covered, Environmental education, Teacher Education, Language Development and Student Learning etc. Our goal is to increase the presence of Educational Research (ER) in more countries and databases. We are very grateful with all our friends and colleagues that collaborate with Educational Research (ER).
Call for Research Articles: ER will cover all areas of the subject. The journal welcomes the submission of manuscripts that meets the general criteria of significance and scientific excellence, and will publish:
Original articles in basic and applied research, Case studies, Critical reviews, surveys, opinions, commentaries and essays
We invite you to submit your manuscript(s) to: support.eduresearch@gmail.com, er@interesjournals.org for publication. Our objective is to inform authors of the decision on their manuscript(s) within four weeks of submission. Following acceptance, a paper will normally be published in the next issue. Guide to authors and other details are available on our website; http://interesjournals.org/ER/Guide%20to%20Authors.htm

Subsidies, shadow of death and productivity
Heli Koski and Mika Pajarinen
Abstract:
Our panel data from over 10,000 Finnish firms during the years 2003-2010 sheds
light on the effect of different business subsidies on firm productivity performance
and on the relationship between firms’ lagged labor productivity and market exit. We
find that not any of the subsidy types have statistically significant short-term or
longer term impacts on the firms’ productivity performance. It seems that
particularly employment and investment subsidies tend to be allocated to the
relatively less efficient companies. We further observe that a decline in the firm’s
lagged labor productivity levels are clearly more weakly related to the subsidized
firms’ exit than to the exit of firms that have not received any subsidies. Our
empirical findings thus hint that the allocation of subsidies to the relatively
inefficient firms increases their liquidity making their market exit less likely than it
would be otherwise. In other words, our data indicate that subsidy allocation
weakens the shadow of death phenomenon observed in the previous empirical studies
and hinders the process of creative destruction in the economy.

Why triplehelixuig??
The long name is the triple helix of university-industry-government linkages to promote innovation and economic development. But it´s too much to a blog!!
There are other triple helix networks and UIG will differentiate us.
The blog content is managed by the Triple Helix Research Group - THERG-Brazil (www.triple-helix.uff.br). We are host in the Laboratory of Multiaplications in Management (http://www.uff.br/lamag/) of Institute of Human and Social Sciences (www.ichs.uff.br) from Fluminense Federal University, Brazil (www.uff.br)
Today, is August, 13th and we will publish soon a lot of news and files.

Hello!! Old network, new tool!!
Dear
friends,
After 4
years working with NING the host tool of triple helix blog we decide move to a
non-paid tool. NING prices are high and the network are suffering a long attack
from spammers. We´ll lose some facilities from NING but using BlogSpot and Google
drive integration we can replace with the same quality.
The address
triplehelix.ning.com will be discontinued. The new address will be triplehelixuig.blogspot.com
Our community
has today 400 participants. I hope we can reach more people using an open tool.
Best,
