Rural-urban healthcare access inequality refers to a disparity between rural and urban people with severe medical ailments in gaining access to the high-quality healthcare services they need. Although much hope has been pinned on the use of health information technology (HIT) to alleviate this critical and enduring societal challenge, the realized societal impact of HIT is unclear. Anchoring on both social transformation theory and affordance actualization theory, we conducted an in-depth qualitative study with two rounds of data collection in China. In addition to investigating how the societal challenge has triggered transformative HIT interventions, our analysis contributes to a theory on an HIT solution for the rural-urban healthcare access inequality challenge by establishing a link between HIT affordances and HIT interventions. This is done by examining how microlevel HIT effects escalate to macrolevel HIT effects through societal-level affordance actualization, which can affect this healthcare access inequality challenge. Along with providing policy implications on introducing HIT solutions to address intricate and complex societal challenges, this study extends existing theories by revealing the adaptation of the HIT intervention and differentiating the effects of collective and shared affordances.
Do Security Fear Appeals Work When They Interrupt Tasks? A Multi-Method Examination of Password Strength
Authors:   Virginia Tech, Vance Anthony , Eargle David ,   University of Colorado, Boulder, Eggett Dennis ,   Brigham Young University, Straub Detmar ,   Temple University, Ouimet Kirk
Published: May 2023

Weak passwords are one of the most pervasive threats in cybersecurity. Facing this threat, users require guidance on how to protect themselves. A method frequently used by IS practitioners and researchers to provide this guidance is fear appeals, persuasive messages intended to prompt behavioral changes in response to a threat. However, previous research has not considered a key element of fear appeal effectiveness: task primacy. When fear appeals are a part of the primary or focal task, users’ cognitive engagement will be high by default. However, when fear appeals are delivered as secondary tasks, such as interruptive security messages, users’ engagement is likely to be low because the primary task takes priority in attentional and cognitive resources. In such cases, a remedy is needed to elicit engagement with the fear appeal. In this research note, we theorize that cognitive engagement acts as a contextual moderator that is critical to the effectiveness of fear appeals under the boundary condition of task primacy. Further, we theorize that interactivity, a mechanism that adapts message content through tailored real-time feedback in response to a user’s actions, is a key remedy to enhance engagement with fear appeals. However, to date fear appeals have largely been tested in noninteractive primary tasks, and no study has provided a theoretical explanation for why interactivity enhances the power of a fear appeal. We empirically examined engagement as a contextual moderator in two ways. First, we conducted a field experiment, which manipulated messages on a password creation form on a real-world website. Second, we performed a qualitative focus group study to triangulate the experimental results and more fully reify our theoretical model. Together, the findings reveal that interactivity acts as a catalyst to engage participants with a fear appeal, which then allows the persuasive message of the fear appeal to be internalized. The concepts of boundary condition of task primacy and engagement suggest ways that fear appeals can be more effectively applied in research and practice.
Are We There Yet? Analyzing Progress in the Conversion Funnel Using the Diversity of Searched Products

Published: May 2023

The conversion funnel is a model describing the stages consumers go through in their journey toward a purchase. This journey often lasts several days to weeks and can include multiple visits to a seller’s website. A large body of literature has focused on using observable search patterns to identify consumers’ hidden purchasing stages and to estimate their likelihood of conversion. We propose a novel set of measures to better reveal the consumer’s hidden stage in the funnel. These measures are based on the diversity of the searches that a customer engages in while browsing an e-commerce website, and they include not only the number of different products that are searched for, but also measures that rely on unobserved similarities among products, captured in a product network (in which products are assumed to be “similar” if they are frequently co-searched). We operationalize and evaluate our proposed measures using a large-scale dataset from a medium-sized tourism website used for comparing and booking flights. We estimate a hidden Markov model to show that our proposed diversity measures are associated with progress in the funnel and consumers’ conversion likelihood. Specifically, we show that consumers go through different distinguishable stages (states) in their journey, characterized by different values of our proposed diversity measures. To demonstrate the managerial and business implications of our theory, we show that incorporating search-diversity measures into a baseline prediction model significantly improves the model’s performance in predicting purchase likelihood and churn.
Infrastructure as a Home for a Person: A Phenomenological Interpretation of Star and Ruhleder’s Relational View
Authors:   RWTH Aachen University, Reimers Kai , Schellhammer Stefan ,   University of Münster, Johnston Robert ,   University of Sydney Business School,   University College Dublin
Published: May 2023

Star and Ruhleder’s (1996) influential “relational view” of infrastructure is usually understood as a relation between technologies and organizational practices. However, a significant part of Star and Ruhleder’s original proposal has been overlooked—that infrastructure becomes a home for somebody. In this paper, we give an alternative interpretation of this relational view by focusing on the relation between a person and their infrastructure, rather than on the relation between technologies and practices. We use Heidegger’s (1927/1962) phenomenology in Being and Time to theorize what such a home might entail and a novel data collection method to study infrastructuring empirically from the perspective of a person. On this basis, we offer new theoretically grounded interpretations of infrastructure and infrastructuring. Empirically, we identify two modes of infrastructuring not previously distinguished. The perspective sheds new light on a number of key themes and debates in the literature and on infrastructuring in practice.
Designing Digital Market Offerings: How Digital Ventures Navigate the Tension Between Generative Digital Technology and the Current Environment

Published: May 2023

Digital ventures must navigate a key tension as they design new digital market offerings—that is, products or services that are embodied in digital technologies or enabled by them. On the one hand, digital ventures pursue a vision that builds on what might be possible through the generative potential that digital technology offers; on the other hand, they face an environment in the here and now, with existing customer preferences, extant regulations, and legacy technology. Taking a designing view, we trace how six independent digital ventures in the German financial services industry dealt with this tension as they created their digital market offerings. Our findings suggest that digital ventures enact three designing mechanisms to resolve the tension: bounding the technology scope, transposing through digital objects, and probing the solution space. Through these mechanisms, digital ventures construct a buffer—one that has functional, material, and temporal dimensions—between the vision they gradually realize through their market offering and the here-and-now conditions of the environment that digital ventures enter.
Peer-to-Peer Loan Fraud Detection: Constructing Features from Transaction Data

Published: May 2023

Although financial fraud detection research has made impressive progress because of advanced machine learning algorithms, constructing features (or attributes) that can effectively signal fraudulent behaviors remains a challenge. In recent years, a new type of fraud has emerged on peer-to-peer (P2P) lending platforms, where individuals can borrow money from others without a financial intermediary. In these markets, the information asymmetry problem is seriously elevated. Inspired by the fraud triangle theory and its extensions, and using the design science research methodology, we construct five categories of behavioral features directly from P2P lending transaction data, in addition to the baseline features regarding borrowers and loan requests. These behavioral features are intended to capture the fraud capability, integrity, and opportunity of fraudsters based on their loan requests and payment histories, connected peers, bidding process characteristics, and activity sequences. Using datasets from real users on two large P2P lending platforms in China, our evaluation results show that combining these additional features with the baseline features significantly enhances detection performance. This design science research contributes novel knowledge to the financial fraud detection literature and practice.
Seeing Is Believing? How Including a Video in Fake News Influences Users’ Reporting of Fake News to Social Media Platforms
Authors:   Baruch College, Wang Shuting (Ada) , Pang Min-Seok ,   Temple University, Pavlou Paul ,   University of Houston
Published: May 2023

Social media platforms, such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, are combating the spread of fakennews by developing systems that allow their users to report fake news. However, it remains unclear whether these reporting systems that harness the “wisdom of the crowd” are effective. Notably, concerns have been raised that the popularity of videos may hamper users’ reporting of fake news. The persuasive power of videos may render fake news more deceptive and less likely to be reported in practice. However, this is neither theoretically nor empirically straightforward, as videos not only affect users’ ability to detect fake news, but also impact their willingness to report and their engagement (i.e., likes, shares, and comments) which would further spread fake news. Using a unique dataset from a leading social media platform, we empirically examine how including a video in a fake news post affects the number of users reporting the post to the platform. Our results indicate that including a video significantly increases the number of users reporting the fake news post to the social media platform. Additionally, we find that the sentiment intensity of the fake news text content, especially when the sentiment is positive, attenuates the effect of including a video. Randomized experiments and a set of mediation analyses are included to uncover the underlying mechanisms. We contribute to the information systems literature by examining how social media platforms can leverage their users to report fake news, and how different formats (e.g., videos and text) of fake news interact to influence users’ reporting behavior. Social media platforms that seek to leverage the “wisdom of the crowd” to combat the proliferation of fake news should consider both the popularity of videos and the role of text sentiment in fake news to adjust their strategies.
Is Organizational Commitment to IT Good for Employees? The Role of Industry Dynamism and Concentration

While research on the consequences of organizational commitment to IT has focused on outcomes of interest to shareholders, such as profitability and firm value, recent research has also considered other stakeholders that might benefit from an increased organizational commitment to IT, especially customers. We extend this line of the literature by investigating the benefits of a firm’s organizational commitment to IT for firms’ employees, a stakeholder group that uses and depends heavily on IT in its daily work. This exploratory study links a firm’s organizational commitment to IT with the nonmonetary employee metrics of job satisfaction and work-life balance and embeds these associations in the industry’s dynamism and concentration. We test our research model with a multi-industry dataset of 523 firms from the S&P 500 (2008-2017 period). Our findings indicate that an organizational commitment to IT may facilitate job satisfaction and work-life balance but only when industry dynamism and industry concentration are low. Additional analyses show that IT commitment’s influence on these outcomes depends on the firm’s commitment to particular IT technologies; for instance, organizational commitments to cloud technology and remote technology are particularly positively associated with work-life balance.
An Empirical Investigation of Company Response to Data Breaches

Published: May 2023

Companies may face serious adverse consequences as a result of a data breach event. To repair the potential damage to relationships with stakeholders after data breaches, companies adopt a variety of response strategies. However, the effects of these response strategies on the behavior of stakeholders after a data breach are unclear; differences in response times may also affect these outcomes, depending on the notification laws that apply to each company. As part of a multimethod study, we first identified the adopted response strategies in Study 1 based on content analysis of the response letters issued by publicly traded U.S. companies (n = 204) following data breaches; these strategies include any combination of the following: corrective action, apology, and compensation. We also found that breached companies may remain silent and adopt a “no action” strategy. In Studies 2 and 3, we examined the effects of various response strategies and response times on the predominant stakeholders affected by data breaches: customers and investors. In Study 2, we focused on customers and present a moderated-moderated-mediation model based on the expectancy violation theory. To test this model, we designed a factorial survey with 15 different conditions (n = 811). In Study 3, we focused on investors and conducted an event study (n = 166) to examine their reactions to company responses to data breaches. The results indicate the presence of moderating effects of certain response strategies; surprisingly, we did not find compensation to be more effective than apology. The magnitude of the moderating effects of response strategies is contingent upon response time. We also found that the negative effects of data breaches disappear after six months. We interpret the results and provide implications for research and practice.
Putting Religious Bias in Context: How Offline and Online Contexts Shape Religious Bias in Online Prosocial Lending
Authors:   Tulane University, Sabzehzar Amin , Burtch Gordon ,   Boston University, Hong Yili ,   University of Miami, Raghu T. S. ,   Arizona State University
Published: May 2023

Biases on online platforms pose a threat to social inclusion. We examine the influence of a novel source of bias in online philanthropic lending, namely that associated with religious differences. We first propose religion distance as a probabilistic measure of differences between pairs of individuals residing in different countries. We then incorporate this measure into a gravity model of trade to explain variation in country-to-country lending volumes. We further propose a set of contextual moderators that characterize individuals’ offline (local) and online social contexts, which we argue combine to determine the influence of religion distance on lending activity. We empirically estimate our gravity model using data from Kiva.org, reflecting all lending actions that took place between 2006 and 2017. We demonstrate the negative and significant effect of religion distance on lending activity, over and above other established factors in the literature. Further, we demonstrate the moderating role of lenders’ offline social context (diversity, social hostilities, and governmental favoritism of religion) on the aforementioned relationship to online lending behavior. Finally, we offer empirical evidence of the parallel role of online contextual factors, namely those related to community features offered by the Kiva platform (lending teams), which appear to amplify the role of religious bias. In particular, we show that religious team membership is a double-edged sword that has both favorable and unfavorable consequences, increasing lending in general but skewing said lending toward religiously similar borrowers. Our findings speak to the important frictions associated with religious differences in individual philanthropy; they point to the role of governmental policy vis-à-vis religious tolerance as a determinant of citizens’ global philanthropic behavior, and they highlight design implications for online platforms with an eye toward managing religious bias.
Unlocking the Power of Voice for Financial Risk Prediction: A Theory-Driven Deep Learning Design Approach
Authors:   Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Yang Yi , Qin Yu ,   University of Utah, Fan Yangyang ,   Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Zhang Zhongju ,   Arizona State University
Published: May 2023

Unstructured multimedia data (text and audio) provides unprecedented opportunities to derive actionable decision-making in the financial industry, in areas such as portfolio and risk management. However, due to formidable methodological challenges, the promise of business value from unstructured multimedia data has not materialized. In this study, we use a design science approach to develop DeepVoice, a novel nonverbal predictive analysis system for financial risk prediction, in the setting of quarterly earnings conference calls. DeepVoice forecasts financial risk by leveraging not only what managers say (verbal linguistic cues) but also how managers say it (vocal cues) during the earnings conference calls. The design of DeepVoice addresses several challenges associated with the analysis of nonverbal communication. We also propose a two-stage deep learning model to effectively integrate managers’ sequential vocal and verbal cues. Using a unique dataset of 6,047 earnings call samples (audio recordings and textual transcripts) of S&P 500 firms across four years, we show that DeepVoice yields remarkably lower risk forecast errors than that achieved by previous efforts. The improvement can also translate into nontrivial economic gains in options trading. The theoretical and practical implications of analyzing vocal cues are discussed.

religion des autres. Plurivocation et équivocation : des enjeux éthiques de l'épistémologie en sciences des religions
Authors: Welscher Claude
Published: May 2023

Das gymnasiale Ergänzungsfach „Histoire et sciences des religions“ thematisiert Religionsfragen unter dem Blickwinkel der Kulturwissenschaften. Die „wissenschaftliche Neutralität“ dieses Zugangs kann paradox werden bzw. zu einer unsachgemässen Pädagogik führen, sobald Schülerinnen und Schüler mit einer glaubensbestimmten Optik an die Themen herangehen. Der Unterricht bringt sie als „Untersuchungsgegenstand“ ins Spiel, spricht von diesen Schülerinnen und Schülern in der dritten Person, obschon sie anwesend sind, und zudem werden ihre Glaubensbekenntnisse als ungültig betrachtet. Ohne auf kulturwissenschaftliche Paradigmen zu verzichten, erlaubt eine Epistemologie der Gleichwertigkeit aller Stimmen (Equivocation), mittels Begriffen wie Praxis oder Lebensform (Wittgenstein) eher Schlüsse zu ziehen, als mittels der Differenzen wahr/falsch oder gläubig/ungläubig. Eine solche Herangehensweise achtet auch auf die Diversität der anwesenden Stimmen und erlaubt ihnen aufeinander einzugehen, ohne dass eine der Stimmen einen entscheidenden Einfluss auf die anderen ausübt oder gar verlangt, sich zu einigen.
enjeux religieux de l'instruction morale et civique au 19e siècle en Suisse
Authors: Scholl Sarah
Published: May 2023

Die Vermischung der Konfessionen bzw. der verschiedenen Religionen der Schweizer Bevölkerung nimmt in dem Moment zu, als die Schule obligatorisch und zu einer öffentlichen Institution wird. Die mögliche Präsenz von Schülerinnen und Schülern mit katholischem oder protestantischem Hintergrund in denselben Klassen hat eine beachtliche Auswirkung auf die Konzeption der Schule im 19. Jahrhundert. Diese Durchmischung muss in der Gesetzgebung wie auch in der schulischen Praxis in Rechnung gestellt werden. Welches ist die Wirkung dieser konfessionellen und religiösen Heterogenität auf die moralische und politische Bildung, die sich ab 1848 etabliert? Wie werden Katechismus und religiöser Unterricht organisiert? Dieser Beitrag untersucht die unterschiedlichen Problematiken, indem er die Frage nach der Beziehung von Moral, politischer Bildung und religiöser Vermittlung in den Schulen der Romandie stellt. Er zeigt unter anderem, dass der christliche Katechismus im 20. Jahrhundert in der moralischen Bildung der zukünftigen Bürger/-innen eine wesentliche Rolle zu spielen beginnt.
Tensions entre enseignement de l’éthique et liberté de conscience des élèves
Authors: Leleux Claudine
Published: May 2023

Der Beitrag zeigt auf, wie es einer Lehrperson möglich ist, die Spannung zwischen der zu unterrichtenden Ethik und der Gewissensfreiheit der Schüler/-innen mittels dreier Massnahmen zu überwinden. (1) Es wird zwischen Tatsachen, Normen und Werten auf der einen Seite sowie Moral und Legalität auf der anderen Seite unterschieden, wobei innerhalb von Moral und Legalität wiederum zwischen ethischen und anderen Normen differenziert wird. (2) Durch eine professionelle berufsethische Haltung wird die Urteilsautonomie der Schülerinnen und Schüler gefördert und nicht eine Moralisierung beabsichtigt. (3) Pädagogische Massnahmen ermöglichen es, die Unabhängigkeit und Eigenständigkeit des normativen, evaluativen und ausdruckstarken Urteilens bei den Schüler/-innen zu fördern.

Entre savoirs savants et convictions religieuses, risque de conflits de loyauté chez l'enfant
Authors: Curchod-Ruedi Denise
Published: May 2023

Dieser Artikel untersucht unter einem psychologischen Gesichtspunkt die Frage eines möglichen Loyalitätskonfliktes zwischen religiösen Überzeugungen und wissenschaftlichem Wissen beim Kind. Die Spannung zwischen den beiden und die vorgeschriebene neutrale Haltung der Schule generieren in der Regel einen Diskurs, bei welchem die Divergenzen minimiert bzw. verschleiert werden, um die emotionale Sicherheit des Kindes nicht zu bedrohen. Erfahrungen und Untersuchungen zeigen jedoch, dass die Widersprüche, wenn sie gut kontextualisiert werden, weniger Ängstlichkeit bei den Kindern hervorrufen, da sie kognitiv mit diesen umgehen können. Im Rückgriff auf die Arbeiten zur Entwicklung sozialer Kompetenzen und insbesondere auf die Theory of Mind wird die Möglichkeit, die divergierenden Positionen zu benennen, als Mittel präsentiert, um den Loyalitätskonflikt zu mildern. In der Tat erlaubt das Aufzeigen der verschiedenen Positionen dem Kind, die Diversität der Standpunkte zu « denken », sei es auch nur zwischen religiösen Überzeugungen und wissenschaftlichen Wissen.

Dieser von einem Kollektiv verfasste Artikel ist aus vier Texten zusammengesetzt. Er steht in Verbindung mit der Einführung eines neuen gymnasialen Kurses, der bestimmt ist für zukünftige Studenten der Primarstufe an der PH des Kantons Waadt. Er geht auf verschiedene Herausforderungen eines schulischen, religionswissenschaftlich begründeten Unterrichts ein: Die Bedeutsamkeit, konkret und greifbar an der eigenen Haltung zu arbeiten, die gegenüber religiösen Phänomenen eingenommen wird; die Notwendigkeit, von einem religiösen Diskurs zu einem geistes- und sozialwissenschaftlichen Diskurs zu wechseln; sich der Gründe bewusst werden, eine religiöse Tradition anders zu vermitteln als über enzyklopädisches Wissen; sowie das Interesse, die mit Religionen und Ethik verbundenen Fragen eher unter dem Gesichtspunkt der Praktiken als unter dem Gesichtspunkt des Glaubens anzusprechen. Mit seinem Fokus und den verschiedenen Stilen, trägt jeder Text dazu bei, die Türe zum « Labor » der Lehrperson ein wenig zu öffnen.
Religiöse Repräsentationen in Medien für Kinder. Pluralismus als Normalität, Notwendigkeit und Bereicherung
Authors: Eberhardt Verena Marie
Published: May 2023

Basierend auf einem kulturwissenschaftlichen Zugang zu Religion wird in diesem Beitrag ein theoretischer Rahmen zur Erforschung medialer Repräsentationen für Kinder geschaffen. Religion wird als Symbolsystem konzipiert, das durch die theoretische Verknüpfung mit dem kulturellen Imaginären einen religionswissenschaftlichen Zugang zum Forschungsfeld Kindermedien und Religion ermöglicht. In vier exemplarischen Analysen werden Motive, Narrative und Konzepte religiöser Pluralität herausgearbeitet, um sie anschließend hinsichtlich normativer Vorstellungen in der Repräsentation von Religion und des Zusammenlebens in einer pluralen Gesellschaft zu untersuchen.

Ist Verschwörungsglaube (wie) Religion? Zwei Methoden zum Thema Verschwörungserzählung im religionskundlichen Unterricht
Authors: Dietzel Irene
Published: May 2023

Verschwörungsglaube ist ein begleitendes Element von Weltbildern, das klare Feindbilder evoziert und damit politisch mobilisieren kann. Die Thematisierung diverser Verschwörungserzählungen im Schulunterricht, z. B. im Kontext europäischer Geschichte, benennt zwar die gefährlichen Verkürzungen von Komplexität und ‚entlarvt‘ die Narrative als Propaganda – die sozio-kognitive Dimension des Phänomens allerdings bleibt unscharf. Dieser Beitrag argumentiert für eine Verortung des Themas im religionskundlichen Unterricht. In einer kombinierten Analyse der substantialistischen, funktionalen und diskursiven Perspektiven kann die Religionswissenschaft erklären, warum diese Erzählungen so einflussreich sein können. Eine kurze Skizze des religionswissenschaftlichen Beitrags zur Erforschung von Verschwörungsglauben mündet in zwei Methoden, welche die Leitfrage über verschiedene Zugänge beleuchten. Die Methoden eignen sich für die Klassenstufen 9/10.

Indiens heilige Kühe - Methodische Überlegungen zur Ausbildung von Lehrpersonen im Schulfach „Religionen, Kulturen, Ethik“ des Kantons Zürich und zum Lehrmittel „Blickpunkt 3 – Religion und Kultur“
Authors: Beltz Johannes
Published: May 2023

Dieser Aufsatz geht am Beispiel der „heiligen Kühe“ der Frage nach, wie religiöse Traditionen differenziert in der Lehrerausbildung und im Klassenzimmer besprochen werden können. Der Fokus liegt dabei auf der Vermittlung des Hinduismus im Schulfach „Religion, Kulturen, Ethik“ im Kanton Zürich. Ausgehend von den Begriffen „Religion“ und „Hinduismus“ wird deutlich, dass das Lehrmittel „Blickpunkt 3 – Religion und Kultur“ auf einem (überholten) essentialistischen Religionsverständnis aufbaut. Der Aufsatz argumentiert, dass das Ziel des Schulunterrichts nicht die Vermittlung eines normativen, vermeintlich kohärenten Zeichensystems sein sollte, sondern das Erkennen von dynamischen Austauschprozessen und Interaktionen zwischen Zeichen, Symbolen, Individuen und Gruppen (Bochinger & Frank, 2015). Die universitäre Ausbildung von Lehrpersonen, aber auch fachwissenschaftlichen Fachdisziplinen wie die Religionswissenschaften könnten hier als wichtiges Korrektiv agieren indem sie Differenzierungs- und Diversifizierungsprozesse von religiösen Tradition in den Mittelpunkt des Unterrichts stellen.
Neural potentials of proteins extrapolate beyond training data
Authors: Wellawatte Geemi P. , Hocky Glen M. , White Andrew D.
Published: May 2023

We evaluate neural network (NN) coarse-grained (CG) force fields compared to traditional CG molecular mechanics force fields. We conclude NN force fields are able to extrapolate and sample from unseen regions of the free energy surface when trained with limited data. Our results come from 88 NN force fields trained on different combinations of clustered free energy surfaces from 4 protein mapped trajectories. We used a statistical measure named total variation similarity (TVS) to assess the agreement between free energy surfaces of mapped atomistic simulations and CG simulations from the trained NN force fields. Our conclusions support the hypothesis that constructing force fields on one region of the protein free energy surface can indeed extrapolate to unexplored regions. Additionally, the force matching error was found to only be weakly correlated with a force field's ability to reconstruct the correct free energy surface.
A conformation-specific approach to native top-down mass spectrometry
Authors: Britt Hannah , Ben-Younis Aisha , Page Nathanael , Thalassinos Konstantinos
Published: May 2023

Native top-down mass spectrometry is a powerful approach for analyzing proteoforms, but one which largely disregards protein conformation. We report a new ion mobility-enabled method for performing native top-down MS in a conformation-specific manner. Our approach identified conformation-linked differences in backbone dissociation which simulta-neously inform upon proteoform variations and provide structural insights. We also illustrate that our method can be applied to protein-ligand complexes, either to identify components or to probe ligand-induced structural changes.
Computational Discovery for Crafting Multi-dimensional and Multi-functional Metal-Organic Framework Composites
Authors: Jeon Mingyu , Kwon Ohmin , Kim Jihan
Published: May 2023

Rational design of multiple material components to create composite materials for synergistic enhancement is a crucial strategy in materials science. The combination of two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has great potential for creating multi-dimensional and multi-functional composites, expanding the material space for various applications. In this study, we developed a novel screening algorithm to construct 2D-MOF@3D-MOF composite structures using the intrinsic geometrical information of each MOF. Our algorithm was designed to prioritize synthesizability and identified several pairs of 2D-MOFs and 3D-MOFs. The screening results revealed that Ni-HHTP@UiO-66, a previously synthesized composite material, was among the potential candidates. Furthermore, the 2D-MOF@3D-MOF composite candidate that passed our algorithm exhibited superior mechanical strength compared to the mismatched composite. Our research advances the field of MOF by providing a practical screening algorithm for identifying suitable 2D-MOF@3D-MOF composite candidates and paves the way for the discovery of new materials with enhanced properties.

Published: May 2023

A new synthetic route to obtain symmetric disubstituted alkyl/arylaminopyrimidines under mild conditions is presented, which can be used to generate new purine libraries for drug discovery. We investigated the unexpected reaction of 6-alkoxy-4-chloro-5-nitropyrimidines with primary amines, which produced disubstituted dialkyl/arylamine pyrimidines instead of the expected 6-alkoxy-4-alkylamine-5-nitropyrimidines. To clarify this reaction, a computational study of the reaction mechanism was carried out and it was found that the Meisenheimer complex may play a key role in this reaction.

Published: May 2023

For a wide range of biomedical applications, measuring the transport of metal nanoparticles across a cell membrane is of tremendous interest. Such studies are gaining high importance due to applications, especially in the field of drug delivery using NPs. In this work, we measure the passive transport of arginine-functionalized ultra-small gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with sizes lower than 3 nm across a planar lipid bilayer formed with the droplet interface bilayer (DiB) technique. The AuNPs transport is monitored using dark-field microscopy, which enables the tracking of AuNPs without the use of fluorescent labeling. The measurements of high numbers of events provide a robust quantitative estimation of AuNP translocation dynamics and energy barrier obtained from the lipid bilayer translocation analysis.  Interestingly, we observed that the arginine number coated onto AuNP and the bilayer packing control the AuNPs translocation accross the lipid bilayer.

Calibration is an activity to determine the conventional correctness of the designation value of measuring instruments and measuring materials by comparing them with traceable measuring standards to national standards for units of measure and/or international ones. One example of a tool used for calibration is the Infant Warmer Calibrator. The purpose of this research is to produce a tool that can be used to calibrate and analyze temperature and humidity data on infrant warmers. This tool uses five LM35 type temperature sensors with Arduino as the main controller for this tool, and is also equipped with a DHT11 type humidity sensor, and is also equipped with an SD Card as storage. From the results of the study, different results were obtained with the largest error difference of 1.85% at a test point of 35°C and the smallest error presentation was 1.3% at a test point of 34°C and the tool was functioning properly.

Telecommunication technology is currently developing so fast, along with the need for people to communicate. 4G LTE network technology has many positive impacts on service users in communication access. Every provider user wants to have good network quality when used in exchanging information and communications. This study discusses the analysis of the quality of the 4G LTE network in the Purwokerto area by taking a drive test data. Analysis of the drive test is carried out using Map Info software to determine the signal condition in accordance with the range provider and the calculation of the percentage each month with 4G parameters, namely RSRP (Reference Signal Received Power) and SINR (Signal to Interference Noise Ratio). The result of this analysis is a comparison of network quality in December 2019 based on the RSRP and SINR parameter values. In December, the RSRP value that met the standard ≥ = -95 dBm reached a percentage of 77.23% and in March it reached a percentage of 81.86%. For the SINR value in December 2019 which met the standard ≥ = 12 dB, it reached a percentage of 36.82% and in March it reached a percentage of 46.08%.

What's Hot in Jurisprudence?
Authors: Davies Margaret
Published: May 2023

This article was presented as a Victoria University of Wellington Centennial Lecture during Law Festival Week in 1999. The author notes the relatively recent rise to popularity of legal theory, and discusses two trends which are in part influenced by theoretical fashions, and are in part the symptoms of what is a fundamental and enduring alteration in all types of theoretical scholarship: bodies and spirits.
Facilitating and Regulating Employment
Authors: Toogood Kit
Published: May 2023

This article considers the extent to which Sir Ivor Richardson's Court of Appeal has sought to provide consistency, certainty, and predictability in the development of New Zealand's law regarding redundancy. The author explores important Employment Court and Court of Appeal decisions starting from the employee-friendly Hale case in 1990. The development of redundancy law is then explored through the Brighouse case (which seemingly affirmed Hale), the Davidson saga, and the more employer-friendly Aoraki case (which overruled Brighouse). The article then discusses the future implications of the then-new Employment Relations Act 2000. The result of these developments mean that employees will generally have the right to insist on fair treatment. At the same time, well-advised employers may feel confident that if they follow a considerate process in implementing a redundancy decision, they will not be at risk of having their decisions second-guessed.
Facilitating and Regulating Commerce: Commentary
Authors: Frankel Susy
Published: May 2023

This paper was written as commentary for the Facilitating and Regulating Commerce seminar session. The author discusses the regulation of commerce in New Zealand through the competition law mechanisms of the Commerce Act 1986 and intellectual property law. The paper then notes the term "commercial dispute" is difficult to define, and challenges the idea of needing specialist commercial judges in New Zealand where the commercial market is relatively small. In the absence of empirical evidence that a lack of regulation has harmed New Zealand's economic interests, the author concludes that it is worth waiting to see whether such sweeping legal changes are required.
Reflections on Appellate Leadership
Authors: Elias Sian
Published: May 2023

Chief Justice Elias discusses appellate leadership by exploring Sir Ivor Richardson's judicial process during his time as President of the Court of Appeal. Judges must demonstrate professionalism and impartiality. However, judges must strike an appropriate balance between efficiency in dispatch of court business and ensuring that justice is not prejudiced. In terms of the mechanics of judicial reasoning, Sir Ivor Richardson was a pioneer in his exploration of a statute's scheme and purpose in statutory interpretation. Where the statute was unhelpful, Sir Ivor did not shy from using common law as well as contemporary social values. However, Sir Ivor was also careful in his decision as some topics were unsuitable for judicial resolution. Chief Justice Elias concludes that Sir Ivor's relentless search for sound judgment has made him a fine example of appellate leadership.
