Non-profit organization-business value co-creation: conceptualization and scale development.

The value co-creation strategy is adopted by companies in its relationships with stakeholders as a mechanism to improve the performance of its activities. Both from the perspective of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) practices carried out by companies, and from the approach of the mission that non-profit organizations (NPOs) must effectively fulfil, adopt the strategy of co-creation in activities, projects, programs, etc. that both entities jointly develop is essential to achieve the expected organizational and social value. However, although the value co-creation between companies and its stakeholders (mainly customers) has been substantially investigated in recent years, there is a significant gap in both theoretical and empirical research into the adoption by the NPOs of said management approach in its collaborative relationships with companies. Therefore, after reviewing the literature on co-creation, an NPO-business value co-creation scale is developed in the empirical part, consisting of four basic dimensions: participation, reciprocity, learning, and engagement. The proposed scale shows reliability and construct validity (convergent and discriminant). The main conclusions and practical implications that this management strategy has for organizations are presented.

An efficient method for predicting the shielding effectiveness of an enclosure with multiple apertures

ABSTRACT An efficient analytical method has been proposed for predicting the shielding effectiveness (SE) and resonances of a metallic enclosure with multiple apertures against an external incident plane wave. First, the electromagnetic (EM) field distribution within the enclosure through multiple apertures is represented by the equivalent electric and magnetic dipole moments based on the Bethe’s theory for small aperture coupling. Then, the EM fields in the enclosure can be obtained by using the scalar wave functions, where the unknown coefficients in the functions are related to the equivalent dipole moments. Finally, the analytical method is applied to handle the enclosure with multiple apertures, and corresponding inclusions about the SE and resonances can be obtained. Compared with the full-wave simulation software CST over the frequency range of 0–2.5 GHz, the analytical method is proved to be accurate and effective, which consumes less time than the conventional numerical methods.
Computational generation of slogans

Abstract In advertising, slogans are used to enhance the recall of the advertised product by consumers and to distinguish it from others in the market. Creating effective slogans is a resource-consuming task for humans. In this paper, we describe a novel method for automatically generating slogans, given a target concept (e.g., car) and an adjectival property to express (e.g., elegant) as input. Additionally, a key component in our approach is a novel method for generating nominal metaphors, using a metaphor interpretation model, to allow generating metaphorical slogans. The method for generating slogans extracts skeletons from existing slogans. It then fills a skeleton in with suitable words by utilizing multiple linguistic resources (such as a repository of grammatical relations, and semantic and language models) and genetic algorithms to optimize multiple objectives such as semantic relatedness, language correctness, and usage of rhetorical devices. We evaluate the metaphor and slogan generation methods by running crowdsourced surveys. On a five-point Likert scale, we ask online judges to evaluate whether the generated metaphors, along with three other metaphors generated using different methods, highlight the intended property. The slogan generation method is evaluated by asking crowdsourced judges to rate generated slogans from five perspectives: (1) how well is the slogan related to the topic, (2) how correct is the language of the slogan, (3) how metaphoric is the slogan, (4) how catchy, attractive, and memorable is it, and (5) how good is the slogan overall. Similarly, we evaluate existing expert-made slogans. Based on the evaluations, we analyze the method and provide insights regarding existing slogans. The empirical results indicate that our metaphor generation method is capable of producing apt metaphors. Regarding the slogan generator, the results suggest that the method has successfully produced at least one effective slogan for every evaluated input.
Popular music reaction videos: Reactivity, creator labor, and the performance of listening online

In popular music reaction videos, performers on YouTube—called “creators”—record their reactions to popular music, filming themselves as they listen to music recordings and watch music videos. The profitability and appeal of popular music reaction videos can be explained by a quality I call reactivity. Reactivity describes the approach that creators take to listening, as they heighten and exaggerate their affective experience of music media. Reactivity also describes their goals for creating these reaction videos, which they hope will provoke subsequent reactions among viewers. Reactions among their viewers translate into more views, shares, and ultimately more power for the creators. By drawing on observations and interviews with nine creators, I demonstrate how reactivity can enable creators of color and queer creators to counter problematic and dominant forms of listening to popular music, while also enabling privileged creators to treat exploitative listening as a kind of virtuosic act of consumption.
Association Between Atherosclerosis and Diabetic Retinopathy in Chinese Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Aim To explore the association between the atherosclerosis and diabetic retinopathy (DR) in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods This hospital-based cross-sectional study included 949 patients (700 males and 249 females) with T2DM. The atherosclerotic parameters were assessed using the cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI), ankle-brachial index (ABI), and carotid plaque. DR was assessed and graded using digital retinal photography and fundus fluorescein angiography as either nonproliferative DR (NPDR) or proliferative DR (PDR). Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the associations between the atherosclerotic parameters and DR status. Results The prevalence of DR was 23.6% in total patients, including 167 (17.6%) patients with NPDR and 57 (6.0%) patients with PDR. Patients with NPDR and PDR were more likely to have higher prevalence of increased CAVI, increased ABI, and carotid plaque than those without DR. In multivariable adjusted logistic regression analysis, patients with NPDR showed an odds ratio (OR) of 2.59 [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.61–4.19] for increased CAVI, 1.99 (0.62–6.34) for increased ABI, and 1.75 (1.13–2.71) for carotid plaque. Patients with PDR showed an OR of 7.83 (3.52–17.41) for increased CAVI, 10.65 (3.33–34.04) for increased ABI, and 11.40 (2.67–48.63) for carotid plaque. Conclusion Both NPDR and PDR were independently associated with increased CAVI and presence of carotid plaque in Chinese patients with T2DM.
The health-related quality of life of the health professionals working in the primary healthcare centers and its correlation with selected sociodemographic factors in Sivas, a central Anatolian city

The aim of this study was to assess the HRQL of health professionals in primary healthcare centers in central county of Sivas, in Turkey. This study was conducted as a cross-sectional study and 248 employees working in 19 healhcare centers were taken into the sample. Two instruments were used in this study. The first instrument included questions regarding the demographic characteristics and working conditions of the health workers. The second instrument was a standardized Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) of HRQL questionnaire. In this study population, total SF-36 scales and its subscale scores were generally higher than one-half of total score of 100. While SF-36 scales were considerable changing according to sex and occupation, the effect of employment duration and age groups on these scores was not important. Males have generally more SF-36 scales than females. Health technicians and physicians have more the SF-36 scales compared to nurses and midwives. Physicians and health techicians reported better health status than nurses and midwifes; women reported poorer health status than men on all eight SF-36 dimensions. Moreover, the mean scores on all SF-36 dimensions reported by the participants on this study were lower than the U.S and many European national norms.
Prevalence of macrolide resistance genes among Group B Streptococci in pregnant women

A B S T R A C T Group B streptococcal septicemia is caused by the bacterium Streptococcus agalactiae, which is commonly called or Group B Streptococcus (GBS), this opportunistic bacterium can destroy suboptimal host defenses to cause invasive disease and tissue damage. Transplacental infection or an ascending infection from the cervix may be caused by this bacteria that colonize the mother s genitourinary tract the neonate acquires the microorganisms as it passes through the colonized birth canal at delivery. Septicemia is an infection in the bloodstream that may travel to different body organs and causes an invasive infection in newborn infants, in women around the time of childbirth, and in older individuals with underlying chronic illnesses. Macrolides are an important class of antibiotics effective against a number of pathogenic bacteria. These mostly bacteriostatic drugs, and continue to be viewed as excellent antibiotics with high potency and low toxicity. Macrolides belong to one of the most commonly used families of clinically important antibiotics used to treat infections caused by Grampositive bacteria. One hundred and eighty nine vaginal swabs were collected from Ibn alBalady Hospital, Central Public Health Laboratory and Kamal alSamarrai Hospital. Fortysix Streptococcus agalactiae isolates were obtained during October 2013 to February 2014. The most prevalent age among GBS infected pregnant women was among (3537) years old with 76.08% rate of infection. The isolates were initially identified phenotypically by blood agar culture media and chromogenic culture media and further identification was performed by VITEK 2 system and by molecular methods by 16s rRNA based PCR. A comparative analysis were performed between the three phenotypic detection methods and molecular method were best tool for S. agalactiae detection, where in which 46 isolates were identified while 37, 36, 30 isolates were detected by VITEK 2 system, chromogenic agar and blood agar respectively. VITEK Antibiotic Susceptibility Test for different antibiotics were performed to all detected isolates, the highest prevalence of resistance was 65.2% toward tetracycline and followed by 58.6% and 45.6% for erythromycin and clindamycin respectively. Macrolide resistance genes were screened and the resistant rate in total isolates was 69.5%. Ribosome methylation genes (ermB, ermA/TR, ermC) were screened in all examined isolates the most prevalence gene was ermB with 63.04%, whereas 23.9% was the prevalence of ermA\TR gene and despite of changing of different PCR conditions, this study failed to detect ermC gene in any of examined isolates. The results of the study displayed that the prevalence rate of efflux pumps encoding genes (mefA and mreA) were 8.69% and 69.5% respectively. The current study showed that 14 (30.4%) of total isolates have not recognized as a carrier of any erythromycin resistance genes. One isolate of all screened isolates was harboring four erythromycin resistance genes except erm C gene. K e y w o r d s

How patients and clinicians experience the utility of a personalized clinical feedback system in routine practice.

OBJECTIVE The objective was to explore how a person-adaptive clinical feedback system (CFS) effects its users, and how meaning and relevance are negotiated. METHODS We conducted a 10-month case-study of the implementation and practice of Norse Feedback, a personalized CFS. The data material consisted of 12 patient interviews, 22 clinician interviews, 23 field notes, and 16 archival documents. RESULTS We identified four main categories or themes: (i) patients' use of clinical feedback for enhanced awareness and insight; (ii) patients work to make clinical feedback a communication mode; (iii) patients and clinicians negotiate clinical feedback as a way to influence treatment; and (iv) clinical feedback requires an interactive sense-making effort. CONCLUSION Patients and therapists produced the meaning and relevance of the CFS by interpreting the CFS measures to reflect the unique patient experience of the patient-therapist relationship. Patients regarded CFS as a tool to inform therapy with important issues. Patients became more self-aware and prepared for therapy.
The cheerleader effect is robust to experimental manipulations of presentation time

ABSTRACT The “cheerleader effect” occurs when the same face is perceived to be significantly more attractive when seen among a group of faces compared to alone. Since perceived attractiveness decreases with additional viewing time, we investigated whether the cheerleader effect occurs simply because the target face is seen for less time in a group than it is alone. Observers rated the attractiveness of each target face twice; once in a group, and once alone. We manipulated the amount of time that each group image was presented for prior to the cue toward the target face (300, 1000, 2000, 3000, or 7000 milliseconds). Faces were perceived to be significantly more attractive in each group condition, regardless of presentation time, replicating the cheerleader effect. Furthermore, uncued presentation time did not modulate the magnitude of this increase, demonstrating that a presentation time discrepancy does not contribute to the size of the typical cheerleader effect.
A methodology for the analysis of the relationships between farms and their physical environment

SUMMARY Agricultural activity involves direct interaction with the physical environment factors in the environmental context in which the activity is developed. Galicia, northwest Spain, is an environmentally heterogeneous region that encompasses territorial spaces with different levels of suitability for each agricultural activity. In barely 30 years, the production systems of the region have evolved from self-sufficiency to commercial production; however, the requirements of production for each differ greatly. During such a transformation, many farms have disappeared while other farms have conformed to the requirements of the current production systems without changing location. Decision-making in rural planning requires knowing the spatial distribution of farms, the evolution of farm distribution and the relationship between the spatial location of farms (associated with some specific environmental characteristics) and the production systems used. The current paper describes a methodology for analysing the spatial distribution of farms and for determining the relationships between the spatial location of farms and the values of the physical environment factors that are characteristic of each spatial location. The methodology has been developed by using Agricultural Census data and is exemplified through the analysis of two crops (wheat and potato) and one farming activity (dairy farming). Results show the location of farms and the production systems used, and reveal different degrees of fit to the physical environment factors considered.
Isolation of total RNA from ripe and unripe soursop (Annona muricata L.) fruit

Soursop fruit tissue is known by its acidic pH and high levels of polysaccharides, polyphenolics and secondary metabolites. These conditions are recognized to interfere unfavorably with conventional methodologies for RNA isolation. We describe here a rapid and simple method for the isolation of total RNA from soursop fruit. RNA was extracted in less than 4 h through a combination of SDS/potassium acetate precipitation and selective binding on a silica-gel-based membrane (Qiagen) through microspin speed technology. In comparison to other methods applied for RNA extraction from soursop fruit, our protocol improved substantially RNA quality as well as RNA yield. The isolated RNA served as a robust template for RT-PCR analysis. Comparable RNA quality and yield per dry weight were obtained from unripe and ripe fruits. This makes the method appropriate to being used in studies on differential gene expression in post-harvest behavior.
Non‐native species have multiple abundance–impact curves

Abstract The abundance–impact curve is helpful for understanding and managing the impacts of non‐native species. Abundance–impact curves can have a wide range of shapes (e.g., linear, threshold, sigmoid), each with its own implications for scientific understanding and management. Sometimes, the abundance–impact curve has been viewed as a property of the species, with a single curve for a species. I argue that the abundance–impact curve is determined jointly by a non‐native species and the ecosystem it invades, so that a species may have multiple abundance–impact curves. Models of the impacts of the invasive mussel Dreissena show how a single species can have multiple, noninterchangeable abundance–impact curves. To the extent that ecosystem characteristics determine the abundance–impact curve, abundance–impact curves based on horizontal designs (space‐for‐time substitution) may be misleading and should be used with great caution, it at all. It is important for scientists and managers to correctly specify the abundance–impact curve when considering the impacts of non‐native species. Diverting attention from the invading species to the invaded ecosystem, and especially to the interaction between species and ecosystem, could improve our understanding of how non‐native species affect ecosystems and reduce uncertainty around the effects of management of populations of non‐native species.
Children’s perspectives and attitudes towards Fortnite ‘addiction’

Playing digital games is increasingly pathologized as an addiction or a disorder, but there is limited research into the impact of game addiction discourse on children who play digital games. In this article, we present results from a study into the digital play of twenty-four 9–14-year-olds, attending to our participants’ perspectives and attitudes towards ‘game addiction’ and how it interacts with their play and identity. Focused primarily on the online multiplayer first-person shooter game Fortnite, we examine how children encounter and attempt to negotiate game addiction discourse and demonstrate how the discourse in and of itself produces challenges for young people whose interests and passions revolve around games. This article subsequently discusses how the discursive frameworks that are perpetuated in the media around ‘problematic play’ need to incorporate and be inclusive of the child’s right to play, and the relevance of our findings to the study of media panic and children’s critical media literacies.
Preservation of Permian–Triassic boundary section in the Jurassic accretionary complex of the Lake Hamana, Central Japan

We examined the lithostratigraphy and deformation structures of the accreted pelagic rocks in Lake Hamana area, Central Japan, based on a detailed field mapping and the radiolarian ages. The constructed lithostratigraphy is composed of Lopingian (Upper Permian) grey chert, black chert, black claystone with a high carbon content of 4.85–6.78 wt%, siliceous claystone, black chert, and Anisian (Middle Triassic) grey chert, in the ascending order. The symmetry in the lithostratigraphy and the change in the radiolarian ages with respect to black carbonaceous claystone are presumed to represent a deep‐sea anoxic event that occurred across the Permian–Triassic (P–Tr) boundary. The P–Tr boundary black carbonaceous claystone suffered from an intense shear, resulting in blocks of siliceous claystone in the scaly black claystone matrix. In places, the sheared terrigenous rocks composed of sandstone blocks in the mudstone matrix are intercalated into the pelagic rocks, possibly representing complex mélange forming processes during the development of the Jurassic accretionary complex.
“Better issues to focus on”: Transgender Microaggressions as Ethical Violations in Therapy

Negative experiences in healthcare settings have been linked to decreased treatment satisfaction and reduction of future help-seeking behaviors among transgender individuals. The present study used gender-identity based microaggressions as a model for understanding the client–therapist relationship. Using a qualitative approach, we investigated instances of microaggressions from mental health providers as experienced by 91 adults who identified as transgender or gender diverse. Participants completed an online survey and described instances of microaggressions directed towards them from mental health providers. Thematic analysis resulted in four therapy-salient themes: Lack of Respect for Client Identity, Lack of Competency, Saliency of Identity, and Gatekeeping. Our discussion of the results focuses on the examination of microaggressions as ethical guideline violations. We discuss methods to improve the practical application of ethical standards to counseling with transgender clients. Implications for practice, training, and future research are also discussed.
ERK activation and αvβ3 integrin signaling through Shc recruitment in response to mechanical stimulation in human osteoblasts

Osteoblast growth and differentiation are critical processes for bone development and maintenance, and are regulated by both humoral and mechanical factors. Humoral (hormonal) factors can affect gene transcription via MAPkinases, e.g., extracellular signal‐regulated kinase (ERK). We studied whether the ERK pathway is also involved in processing mechanical inputs in human bone cells. Exposing MG63 cells to physiologically relevant levels of fluid flow resulted in ERK phosphorylation. Genistein blocked this response, indicating that it is dependent on tyrosine phosphorylation. Furthermore, αvβ3 integrins were activated in response to fluid flow, as shown by recruitment of adaptor molecule Shc and clustering of αvβ3 in focal adhesion‐like structures. Antibodies blocking formation of β1 or β3 integrin‐matrix interactions or RGD peptides could not inhibit fluid flow‐induced ERK phosphorylation, suggesting that formation of new integrin‐matrix interactions is not essential for this response and that other upstream mechanosensors regulate induction of ERK phosphorylation in response to fluid flow in human bone cells.
