Financial resources are critical for any young social enterprise. This study investigates the impact of social and economic signals on those social enterprises receiving loans from a social finance institution.

We also found that those social enterprises that perform well on both social and economic dimensions, namely ambidextrous enterprises, are at a disadvantage when it comes to securing loan approval. Such a trade-off is counterintuitive, making the financial resource strategies and consequent signals of social enterprises more complicated than previously assumed.
Lipase PS (Pseudomonas cepacia) Mediated Resolution of β-Substituted γ-((Acetyloxy)methyl)-γ-butyrolactones: Complete Stereochemical Reversion by Substituents.-The resolution of lactones (I), (III), and (V) with lipase PS proceeds with high selectivity and reversal of the stereochemical preference for cis-or trans-β-substituted lactones. Similar results are obtained for the corresponding cis and trans ethyl derivatives. Lactones with larger cis-or trans-β-substituents such as phenyl show almost no
