The purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of ADHD on job performance and the possible mediating role of work engagement and moderating role of gender. Hypotheses testing were performed using structural equation modeling base on PLS-SEM approach applied to a sample of 448 employees from different organizations in Puerto Rico. The results shown that ADHD has a direct effect on task performance and counterproductive work behaviors, but none on organizational citizenship behaviors. Meanwhile, the relationship between ADHD and task performance/organizational citizenship behavior were mediated by work engagement. On the other hand, gender moderated the relationship between ADHD and counterproductive work behaviors on which males were more strongly to show counterproductive work behaviors under high levels of ADHD than females. Findings are discussed in the light of their theoretical and practical implications for future studies.

Authors: Hay-McCutcheon Marcia J. , Threadgill Mildred , Yang Xin , Phillips Frank
Published: December 2019

Background: There is an increased interest in the impact that hearing loss has on general well-being,including overall quality of life (QOL), to improve and expand care that is provided to individuals withhearing loss.
Purpose: To evaluate QOL in adults with and without access to hearing health care (HHC).
Research Design: A cross-sectional study examined QOL across groups of individuals with and withouthearing loss.
Study Sample: One hundred eight participants from West Central and South Alabama received puretonehearing evaluations. Thirty-two adults had hearing within normal limits and 76 had at least a mildhearing loss in one ear.
Data Collection and Analysis: The Quality of Life Inventory (QOLI), the Charlson Comorbidity Index,and an Accessibility to Health Care questionnaire were administered to all participants. The QOLI outcomeswere used as the dependent variable for the analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) statistical procedures.
Results: For adults with hearing loss who did not have access to HHC, lower QOL scores were reportedcompared with those with access to HHC, but this finding was not significant. Although ANCOVA resultsdid not suggest QOL differences across geographical regions, effect size calculations indicated thatadults with hearing loss who lived in the most rural regions of Alabama had lower reported QOL scoresthan their counterparts who had hearing within normal limits. Finally, those with higher incomes, whowere older, and who had fewer physical disorders reported higher QOL than those with lower incomes,who were younger, and who had more physical ailments.
Conclusions: Adults with hearing loss who live in regions without access to HHC might be at risk fordecreased QOL. A number of models for improving access to HHC will be necessary to decrease thispotential risk.

PIC Simulation of a Shock Tube: Implications for Wave Transmission in the Heliospheric Boundary Region
Authors: Matsukiyo S. , Noumi T. , Zank G. P. , Washimi H. , Hada T.
Published: December 2019

A shock tube problem is solved numerically by using one-dimensional full particle-in-cell simulations under the condition that a relatively tenuous and weakly magnetized plasma is continuously pushed by a relatively dense and strongly magnetized plasma having supersonic relative velocity. A forward and a reverse shock and a contact discontinuity are self-consistently reproduced. The spatial width of the contact discontinuity increases as the angle between the discontinuity normal and ambient magnetic field decreases. The inner structure of the discontinuity shows different profiles between magnetic field and plasma density, or pressure, which is caused by a non-MHD effect of the local plasma. The region between the two shocks is turbulent. The fluctuations in the relatively dense plasma are compressible and propagating away from the contact discontinuity, although the fluctuations in the relatively tenuous plasma contain both compressible and incompressible components. The source of the compressible fluctuations in the relatively dense plasma is in the relatively tenuous plasma. Only compressible fast mode fluctuations generated in the relatively tenuous plasma are transmitted through the contact discontinuity and propagate in the relatively dense plasma. These fast mode fluctuations are steepened when passing the contact discontinuity. This wave steepening and probably other effects may cause the broadening of the wave spectrum in the very local interstellar medium plasma. The results are discussed in the context of the heliospheric boundary region or heliopause.
In Situ Observations of Separatrices in a Strong-guide-field Reconnection at the Magnetopause
Authors: Li Zhi , Zhang Mao
Published: December 2019

The reconnection in nearly symmetric inflow boundary conditions with a strong guide field of three is detected at the magnetopause. The thin current sheet was well resolved by the Magnetospheric Multiscale mission, which revealed that there is a pair of low-density separatrices and a pair of higher-density separatrices. Electron flow is accelerated toward the X-line along the low-density side and ejected out along the higher-density side. All flows are super-Alfvénic, but the outflow velocity is much lower than the inflow velocity. It is further shown that the width of higher-density separatrices is about twice that of the low-density separatrices. Significant and opposite electric field activity is observed on both sides of the current sheet. Our observations show that the separatrix regions between the two sides of strong-guide-field reconnection are significantly different in structure and plasma properties, which in turn affect the acceleration and heating of electrons.

We present a detailed analysis of a large sample of spectroscopically confirmed massive quiescent galaxies (MQGs; log(M
*/M
⊙) ∼ 11.5) at z ≳ 2. This sample comprises 15 galaxies selected in the COSMOS and UDS fields by their bright K-band magnitudes and followed up with Very Large Telescope (VLT) X-shooter spectroscopy and Hubble Space Telescope (HST)/WFC3 H
F160W imaging. These observations allow us to unambiguously confirm their redshifts, ascertain their quiescent nature and stellar ages, and reliably assess their internal kinematics and effective radii. We find that these galaxies are compact, consistent with the high-mass end of the stellar mass–size relation for quiescent galaxies at z = 2. Moreover, the distribution of the measured stellar velocity dispersions of the sample is consistent with the most massive local early-type galaxies from the MASSIVE Survey, showing that evolution in these galaxies is dominated by changes in size. The HST images reveal, as surprisingly high, that 40% of the sample has tidal features suggestive of mergers and companions in close proximity, including three galaxies experiencing ongoing major mergers. The absence of velocity dispersion evolution from z = 2 to 0, coupled with a doubling of the stellar mass, with a factor of 4 size increase and the observed disturbed stellar morphologies, supports dry minor mergers as the primary drivers of the evolution of the MQGs over the last 10 billion yr.

Published: December 2019

The Multi-slit Solar Explorer (MUSE) is a proposed mission aimed at understanding the physical mechanisms driving the heating of the solar corona and the eruptions that are at the foundation of space weather. MUSE contains two instruments, a multi-slit extreme ultraviolet (EUV) spectrograph and a context imager. It will simultaneously obtain EUV spectra (along 37 slits) and context images with the highest resolution in space (0.″33–0.″4) and time (1–4 s) ever achieved for the transition region (TR) and corona. The MUSE science investigation will exploit major advances in numerical modeling, and observe at the spatial and temporal scales on which competing models make testable and distinguishable predictions, thereby leading to a breakthrough in our understanding of coronal heating and the drivers of space weather. By obtaining spectra in four bright EUV lines (Fe ix 171 Å, Fe xv 284 Å, Fe xix 108Å, Fe xxi 108 Å) covering a wide range of TR and coronal temperatures along 37 slits simultaneously, MUSE will be able to “freeze” the evolution of the dynamic coronal plasma. We describe MUSE’s multi-slit approach and show that the optimization of the design minimizes the impact of spectral lines from neighboring slits, generally allowing line parameters to be accurately determined. We also describe a Spectral Disambiguation Code to resolve multi-slit ambiguity in locations where secondary lines are bright. We use simulations of the corona and eruptions to perform validation tests and show that the multi-slit disambiguation approach allows accurate determination of MUSE observables in locations where significant multi-slit contamination occurs.

Published: December 2019

BACKGROUND: Non-specific low back pain (LBP) has a direct impact on the quality of life, active days at work and health care costs.
AIM: This study was conducted to determine the relationship between LBP and thoracic kyphosis angle among dentists.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: This cross-sectional and descriptive-analytical study carried out in the form of census among 84 dentists employed in a specialised clinic in Iran. Dentists LBP prevalence and intensity and thoracic kyphosis angle were evaluated respectively with the self-administered body map questionnaire, visual analogue scale and flexicurve ruler. Statistical data analysis was done using SPSS software, version 22.
RESULTS: The data showed that the prevalence of LBP in dentists was 44.9% and intensity of LBP was reported about 71.9 Â± 19.34. Pearson correlation coefficient between thoracic kyphosis angle and dentistâ€™s characteristics was not significant except for work experience. The single linear regression model showed that 1.3% of thoracic kyphosis angle changes was positively dependent on LBP. Also, the present study proved that thoracic kyphosis angle changes were positively dependent to 2.6%, 10.8% and 5.7 percent of age, work experience and Body Mass Index (BMI), respectively.
CONCLUSION: Despite the lack of significant statistical relation between LBP and thoracic kyphosis angle, there is a high prevalence and intensity of LBP among Dentists. To reduce the risk of work-related LBP among dentists, managing factors such as BMI, work postures and exercises during work should be taken into consideration.

Published: December 2019

Local infiltration analgesia has become a mainstay of pain control for total knee arthroplasty. This study compared the efficacy and cost between periarticular injection cocktails containing liposomal bupivacaine vs ropivacaine. Two hundred forty-two primary total knee arthroplasties performed between September 2013 and January 2016 were retrospectively reviewed. All patients received similar pre-operative medications and a periarticular injection. The control group received 300 mg of ropivacaine, while the study group received liposomal bupivacaine. All patients received the same preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative adjunct medications. Visual analog scale pain scores, narcotic requirements, distance walked, range of motion, length of stay, Knee Society Scores, and need for manipulation under anesthesia were recorded. Mean visual analog scale pain score 23 to 32 hours postoperatively, mean visual analog scale pain score during the entire hospitalization, and length of stay were lower in the ropivacaine group compared with the liposomal bupivacaine group. Knee range of motion was higher at 2 weeks in the ropivacaine group. There were no statistically significant differences in the other outcome measures. The cost of ropivacaine was considerably lower than the cost of liposomal bupivacaine. Bupivacaine added to liposomal bupivacaine addressed the delayed onset of this medication and gave an accurately matched comparison with the ropivacaine cocktail. All outcomes tested with liposomal bupivacaine were either equivalent or inferior to those with ropivacaine. When used as a component of a periarticular injection cocktail, liposomal bupivacaine offers no advantages over ropivacaine and has a considerably higher cost. [

Published: December 2019

Factors motivating patients to undergo rotator cuff repair (RCR) have not been thoroughly investigated. The purpose of this study was to investigate patient and surgeon decision-making factors for RCR, as well as the use of conservative treatment, and their relationship with shoulder function. A total of 144 adult patients undergoing arthroscopic RCR completed a 13-item questionnaire assessing the importance of surgical decision-making factors. Preoperative conservative treatments were also recorded. Surgeons also completed a similar 5-item questionnaire assessing surgeon decision-making factors preoperatively. American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) functional outcome scores were collected preoperatively through 1 year postoperatively. The following factors received the greatest frequency of high-importance scores: limited shoulder function (80.6%), surgeon recommendation (79.2%), and daily chronic pain (76.4%). Among surgeons, patient activity (83.3%) and risk of tear progression (73.6%) received the greatest frequency of high-importance scores. Patients had worse preoperative ASES scores when they reported the following factors as highly important: limited shoulder function, daily chronic pain, concern for tear enlargement, inability to sleep, and failure of conservative management (
P
<.004). Female gender, corticosteroid injection, and opioid use were also associated with worse preoperative shoulder function (
P
<.01). Workers' compensation claims, preoperative physical therapy, and multiple corticosteroid injections were associated with worse postoperative ASES scores (
P
<.05). Limitations in shoulder function and surgeon recommendation were the most common factors influencing patients to undergo RCR. Multiple factors were associated with worse shoulder function. Surgeons should be cognizant of patient decision-making factors and their relationship with shoulder function. [

Published: December 2019

Overlapping symptoms between hip and lumbar spine pathologies complicate diagnoses and treatments. The purpose of this study was to determine the utility of guided intra-articular hip injection in identifying the pain source in hip-spine syndrome. A search of PubMed and Cochrane databases yielded 9 studies. The mean values for sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of guided intra-articular hip injection were 93.6%, 95.0%, 98.8%, and 86.3%, respectively. Thus, in hip-spine syndrome, when a pain source cannot be elucidated, an ultrasound- or fluoroscopic-guided intra-articular hip injection may be a powerful and reliable diagnostic tool. [

Máscaras chané: alteridad y temporalidad en las visitas escolares del Museo Nacional del Hombre
Authors: Balbé Wanda
Published: December 2019

Este trabajo aborda las prácticas de exhibición y uso de máscaras chané en las visitas guiadas dedicadas a público escolar en el Museo Nacional del Hombre. Se enmarca en un proyecto de investigación más amplio centrado en los aspectos visuales y performativos de ese objeto-máscara en distintos contextos. En este caso, analizo el lugar que ocupa la colección de máscaras en el marco de la exhibición permanente “Pueblos Originarios: presente y pasado”, para reflexionar sobre los discursos que se configuran en la visita escolar identificando históricamente sus continuidades y rupturas. Particularmente destaco cómo la colección de máscaras chané exhibidas juega un papel importante en relación a los objetivos de la muestra. En los contextos locales, las máscaras chané son objetos performativos identitarios que en la celebración del Arete Guasu actualizan un hecho histórico violento. En el museo, la potencia del objeto y la presencia que evoca son retomadas para explicar el pasaje temporal entre pasado y presente en el recorrido de la muestra e introducir la conquista de América como problema. El momento marca el clímax del recorrido ya que el relato pone en escena cuestiones sobre la contemporaneidad de los pueblos y su alteridad, y moviliza discusiones sobre la identidad del público visitante. Considerando el lugar que han tenido históricamente la disciplina antropológica y el museo como institución en la producción de saber sobre la alteridad cultural, y en un contexto donde las revisiones sobre prácticas museológicas, las leyes que regulan esas prácticas y los debates sobre patrimonio indígena son recientes, este trabajo pretende aportar a la discusión sobre investigación, extensión, divulgación y transferencia y al desarrollo de nuevas estrategias en la producción de conocimiento que favorezcan modalidades participativas.
Grutas y altares moralizados. O de cómo territorializar las muertes violentas en sectores populares (Córdoba, Argentina)
Authors: Bermúdez Natalia
Published: December 2019

En el marco de la proliferación de altares, murales y grutas en los sectores populares cordobeses construidos para homenajear a los jóvenes muertos en contextos de violencia, en este artículo propongo analizar cómo los altares y las grutas se establecen de alguna manera como “portales” de los márgenes, es decir, como territorios moralizados donde los grupos populares lidian con la muerte, disputan los sentidos que la sociedad le destina a sus muertos y apelan a valores “convencionales” para hacerlo. A fuerza de degradantes experiencias cotidianas a lo largo de sus trayectorias de vida pero particularmente tras una muerte o desaparición, los familiares asumen, reflexionan, contestan y cuestionan aquellas contiendas morales que atraviesan sus casos. Que en estos grupos se apele a valores “convencionales” no implica que solo sea en pos de universalizar el reclamo, sino que lejos de responder linealmente a las reputaciones que los sectores hegemónicos les deparan, tales valores forman parte de sus experiencias y entran dentro de sus expectativas y horizontes posibles. Y qué ritual de pasaje, sino la muerte, para inscribir a esa persona dentro de entramados y parámetros conocidos y legitimados socialmente donde la muerte “importe”. Este escrito es el resultado de una investigación etnográfica que vengo desarrollando desde 2007 y de actividades de intervención entre la universidad y distintas organizaciones con familiares de víctimas para la creación de una muestra de imágenes itinerante.
Gender Equality and Sustainable Development Within the Scope of Peace as a Global Public Good
Authors: Şeren Kurular Gamze Yıldız
Published: December 2019

In this chapter, it aimed to bring a multidimensional approach to the “peace” process. The elements of this multiple approach are gender equality and global public policies. It is thought that the mobilization of these two elements in the peace process will be the cornerstone of sustainable development in the world. In this context, gender equality (Goal 5) and peace, justice and strong insights (Goal 16), which is one of the United Nations' sustainable development goals, are engaged in the global public policies. Accordingly, public policies and the peace process involving women will lead to a chain impact that will support sustainable development. While ensuring gender equality provides a solution in the peace process, peace building, and gender equality contribute to sustainable development together. Because the empowerment of the most damaged society in the post-war period will undoubtedly contribute to sustainable development.
The Inclusion of Children With Special Education Needs
Authors: Folostina Ruxandra , Iacob Claudia I.
Published: December 2019

This chapter represents a literature review of inclusion policies and practices for children with special needs into the mainstream education system of Romania. The authors provide a structured analysis of the main inclusion practices, with an emphasis on the criticism of the current practice. The main criticisms come from teachers, informal caregivers, students with disabilities, and stakeholders. The analysis is backed up by official documents (reports and legislation), empirical research, and other papers of Romanian professionals in the field of special and inclusive education. After approximately two decades of inclusive schooling in Romania, the authors conclude that there is still a lot of room for improvement. Inclusion is an uninterrupted process that requests resources, structure, and scientific evidence, all embodied in technical and material means, diverse teaching strategies, and well-trained professors that are able to face the challenges.
Digital Governance in Rural Schools of Sri Lanka
Authors: Gunawardana Kennedy Degaulle
Published: December 2019

ICT has been used as a model for education in many parts of the world. At the end of the conflict in 2009, the Government of Sri Lanka embarked on an e-Sri Lanka initiative aimed at introducing ICT across several sectors. The education sector received substantial investment in ICT, but only a section of this sector was targeted. This study explores the barriers of introducing and implementing ICT. The analysis of the case studies together with the variables identified from the literature review provided the basis for developing the conceptual framework for the study. The target population for this study were teachers and principals in the rural schools of Trincomalee representing the rural population in Sri Lanka. A combined sample of 70 teachers and principals were considered for this survey across 20 schools in the district. The results indicate that internet access, resources, personnel, and security are essential for introducing and implementing ICT education in the rural areas.

Published: December 2019

The delivery of healthcare in remote rural areas is a global phenomenon. Using digital governance, a discretized cluster of node relaying time-sensitive, and reliable data, life-critical health services can be ensured. Here tactile internet-based internet of things (IoT) and its variant internet of medical things (IoMT), as well as tactile internet, is introduced. Its relationship with 5G is explored. A model for e-health implementation using unmanned autonomous vehicles (UAVs) in the backhaul is presented. The link is analyzed over fiber optics, satellite, and 5G network in terms of latency and reliability: the crucial metrics for robotic surgery. It is also shown that 5G implemented in Italy, Zimbabwe, and Cooks Island have supported mobile hospitals in rural regions. Hence, induction of 5G networks is a feasible approach. Finally, a critical review of expected future technologies including telematics is presented. Hence, tactile internet-based robotic surgery can reduce the digital divide.

To cope up with the ever-changing dynamic business environment, every organization needs to reinvent their marketing mix strategies by introducing some innovations and novel strategic changes. These transformations are very important for the organizational growth, survival and expansion. These transitions could be the need of the hour or a strategic move towards a brighter future. Several ecommerce players are already scaling up their offline presence to let customers experience the product before buying and to reach a larger market. Myntra is planning to be one of them by opening its physical stores across India to boost its private labels. The case attempts to examine those factors which prompted Myntra to sail against the tide. In spite of touching such heights in the online world in a short time span of just a decade is Myntra not convinced about the customer satisfaction and thus, reverting back to traditional retail.

The proliferation of electronic health (e-Health) initiatives in Brazil over the last 2 decades has resulted in a considerable fragmentation within health information technology (IT), with a strong political interference. The problem regarding this issue became twofold: 1) there are considerable flaws regarding interoperability and security involving patient data; and 2) it is difficult even for an experienced company to enter the Brazilian health IT market. In this article, the authors aim to assess the current state of IT interoperability and security in hospitals in Brazil and evaluate the best business strategy for an IT company to enter this difficult but very promising health IT market. A face-to-face questionnaire was conducted among 11 hospital units to assess their current status regarding IT interoperability and security aspects. Global Brazilian socio-economic data was also collected, and helped to not only identify areas of investment regarding health IT security and interoperability, but also to derive a business strategy, composed out of recommendations listed in the paper.
Gamification of Formative Feedback in Language Arts and Mathematics Classrooms

Published: December 2019

The use of computer games in education has been increasing in popularity during the past decade. Game-based learning environments are designed to teach specific knowledge content and skill-based learning outcomes using game elements. One main reason for using game-based learning environments is to increase student motivation and engagement while teaching learning outcomes. Many of the game-based learning environments are designed so that students will reach maximum flow, which is defined as students being so completely immersed in that game that they do not notice that they are learning. These learning environments have been shown to improve many behaviour and cognitive learning outcomes. While game-based learning has many benefits, some educational researchers have indicated that it is often very costly to develop a complex game-based assessment to teach a few learning outcomes. Hence, in some cases it is more beneficial to approach the use of computer games in education using gamification.

Published: December 2019

This study aimed to identify and rank the serious game fidelity themes that should be considered for retaining both the learning potential and predicted market growth of serious games. The authors also investigated existing links between fidelity and AI. The methodology unraveled serious game fidelity through the co-development of a theory- and data-driven codebook, applying the constant comparison method for data analysis. The theory-driven codes stemmed from literature while the data-driven codes emerged from a heuristic user interface evaluation of a comic book style game, named ExMan. This article identifies five fidelity themes, with functional fidelity as most important, and postulates that functional fidelity is most suited to AI integration. This study delivers a fidelity-for-serious-games codebook and concludes that observing the suggested fidelity hierarchy could safeguard that neither digital game-based learning is watered down, nor the lustre of digital gameplay dulled. Furthermore, the authors hold that AI for serious games should be given a high design priority.
The Role of Learning Styles in Game-Based Learning
Authors: Wouters Pieter , van der Meulen Esmee S.
Published: December 2019

Adapting learning to the level and preferences of learners and game-based learning have increasingly received much attention. The current study examined whether learning styles based on the Felder-Silverman classification (perception, input, processing and organization of information) influence learning in GBL. Only the input and processing scales were found to be reliable. 109 students from prevocational secondary education played a math game (proportional reasoning) after which learning gain and motivation were measured. Gameplay yielded no learning, but a median-split breakdown (prior knowledge) indicated that students with little prior knowledge did learn from the game, while those with much prior knowledge deteriorated. Subsequent multiple regression analyses revealed no predictive effect for motivation. The processing preference was predictive for learning: Students with an active processing preference performed better than students with a reflective processing preference. The discussion discusses consequences and a number of directions for follow-up research.

Published: December 2019

A multi-label variant of email classification named ML-EC2 (multi-label email classification using clustering) has been proposed in this work. ML-EC2 is a hybrid algorithm based on text clustering, text classification, frequent-term calculation (based on latent dirichlet allocation), and taxonomic term-mapping technique. It is an example of classification using text clustering technique. It studies the problem where each email cluster represents a single class label while it is associated with set of cluster labels. It is multi-label text-clustering-based classification algorithm in which an email cluster can be mapped to more than one email category when cluster label matches with more than one category term. The algorithm will be helpful when there is a vague idea of topic. The performance parameters Entropy and Davies-Bouldin Index are used to evaluate the designed algorithm.
Coping Strategies and Paradoxes Related to BYOD Information Security Threats in France
Authors: Baillette Paméla , Barlette Yves
Published: December 2019

Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) refers to the provision and use of personal mobile devices by employees for both private and business purposes. Although there has been research on BYOD, little attention has been paid to employees' perception of threats to their personal information security (ISS) when using a BYOD, especially in a professional context. This article investigates employee coping strategies related to BYOD ISS threats in France. The results of a survey of 223 employees indicate that while perceived behavioral control exerts only direct effects on problem-focused (i.e., disturbance handling) and emotion-focused (i.e., self-preservation) coping strategies, ISS concern exhibits significant direct and moderating influences. Several security paradoxes could be identified, namely, discrepancies between the respondents' ISS concern and the adopted coping strategies. This article offers the first insights into the French context and can serve as a basis for comparisons in future research and to help improve employees' personal ISS in the professional context.
The Impact Mechanisms of Psychological Learning Climate on Employees' Innovative Use of Information Systems
Authors: Guo Yuanyuan , Wang Chaoyou
Published: December 2019

The aim of this study is to explore the impact mechanisms of psychological learning climate on employees' innovative use of information systems (IS). Using structural equation modeling, this study develops a theoretical model to investigate how the psychological learning climate affects innovative IS use by introducing individual motivational factors as mediators. The model is tested through a survey of 163 employees using enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems in China. The results suggest that psychological learning climate is positively related to innovative IS use both directly and indirectly. The indirect effect works through motivating employees' intrinsic motivation and creative self-efficiency. This study adds to the literature on IS use by identifying and examining the role of psychological learning climate as a driver of innovative IS use. The findings could provide managers with an understanding of how management can inspire employees' potential in IS innovation.
The Development of an Enterprise Realignment Framework for Firms Entering Emerging Markets
Authors: De Coster Rebecca
Published: December 2019

Pursuing markets which are highly dynamic may require not only innovation in terms of products or services but also business model changes. This is often the case for firms in fast moving sectors such as the media, telecoms and internet industries. This article reports on case study research where high technology firms at the early stage of a sector lifecycle were studied to gain insights into their innovation strategies, technology development approaches and their accompanying enterprise realignment. The framework developed identifies three levels for enterprise realignment: (1) industry position; (2) application provision; and (3) technology development. The case study firms that were examined supported the majority of the elements that were identified for each level as follows: (1) innovation value chain and technology leadership, (2) product attributes; optimisation; interconnectivity and embedded software systems (ESS) and (3) architecture and collaborative working.
Medication Use and the Risk of Newly Diagnosed Diabetes in Patients with Epilepsy

Published: December 2019

Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder that affects millions of people worldwide. Patients with epilepsy generally require long-term antiepileptic therapy and many of them receive polypharmacy. Certain medications, including older-generation antiepileptic drugs, have been known to predispose patients to developing diabetes. Although data mining techniques have become widely used in healthcare, they have seldom been applied in this clinical problem. Here, the authors used association rule mining to discover drugs or drug combinations that may be associated with newly diagnosed diabetes. Their findings indicate in addition to the most common culprits such as phenytoin and valproic acid, prescriptions containing carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine, or lamotrigine may be related to the development of newly diagnosed diabetes. These mined rules are useful as guidance to both clinical practice and future research.
Differential Induction of SOCS Isoforms by Leishmania donovani Impairs Macrophage–T Cell Cross-Talk and Host Defense

Published: December 2019

Immune evasion strategies adopted by Leishmania donovani involve the exploitation of suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS) proteins that are well-known negative regulators of the JAK/STAT pathway. However, the cellular mechanism underpinning the induction of SOCS isoforms and their role in breaching the multilevel regulatory circuit connecting the innate and adaptive arms of immunity are still ambiguous during experimental visceral leishmaniasis. Using bone marrow–derived macrophages (BMMфs) and CD4+ T cells, we observed that L. donovani preferentially upregulates SOCS1 and SOCS3 expression in macrophages and T cells, respectively, whereas the SOCS1 level remains consistently high in BMMфs and SOCS3 expression is pronounced and long lasting in T cells. Consequently, this inhibits STAT1-mediated IL-12 induction in macrophages & STAT4-mediated IFN-γ synthesis in T cells. Mechanistically, PI3K/Akt–mediated SRF activation promotes nuclear translocation and binding of Egr2 to SOCS1 promoter for its early induction in infected BMMфs. Additionally, L. donovani activates IDO/kynurenine/AHR signaling in BMMфs to maintain prolonged SOCS1 expression. Later, PGE2, secreted from infected BMMфs induces cAMP–PKA pathway by binding to the EP2/EP4 receptor of CD4+ T cells, leading to SP1, CREB, and GATA1 activation and SOCS3 expression. Small interfering RNA–mediated silencing of SOCS1 and SOCS3 in macrophage and T cells, respectively, restored IL-12 and IFN-γ cytokine levels and BMMф–T cell interaction. Vivo morpholino–mediated silencing of SOCS1 and SOCS3 resulted in protective cytokine responses, thereby reducing organ parasite burden significantly in L. donovani–infected BALB/c mice. Collectively, our results imply that L. donovani orchestrates different SOCS isoforms to impair macrophage–T cell cross-talk and preserve its own niche.
