Entrepreneurial orientation, learning orientation, market orientation, and organizational performance: Family firms versus non-family firms
Authors: Hernández Linares Remedios , López Fernandez María Concepción
Published: July 2020

Firms develop and use multiple strategic orientations. However, the investigations considering more than one strategic orientation are scant and have paid scant attention to the singular context of family firms, despite the growing evidence of their special strategic behavior. To cover these research gaps, we analyze the combined effects of three strategic orientations (mainly, entrepreneurial orientation, learning orientation, and market orientation) on family firm’s performance, by comparing family firms and non-family firms from Spain and Portugal. Our results show that the entrepreneurial orientation is the strategic orientation with higher impact on family firm performance, followed by market orientation, so, our work offers family firms some insights to an improved performance. In addition our work contributes to literature by corroborating the idea of strategic equifinality.

Published: July 2020

Komunikasi orang tua dan anak memegang peran penting untuk penanaman nilai-nilai moral dalam menghindari perilaku negatif, seperti perilaku seks bebas pranikah pada anak. Penelitian ini memiliki tujuan untuk menganalisis sejauh mana edukasi dan penerapan aturan-aturan oleh orang tua untuk mencegah seks pranikah. Penelitian ini merupakan jenis penelitian kualitatif deskriptif, dengan wawancara mendalam terhadap empat orang ibu dan empat orang anak. Pemilihan informan dilakukan secara purposive sampling. Teori yang digunakan adalah rules theory dengan spesifikasi rule-governing yang dikemukakan oleh Shimanoff. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kesadaran dari pentingnya edukasi tentang seks serta bahaya seks pranikah oleh ibu selaku orang tua masih sangat minim, karena dianggap masih terlalu tabu dan belum pantas diberikan dengan usia remaja. Akibatnya, banyak dari remaja yang memperoleh informasi terkait dengan seks dari sumber lain, seperti teman sebaya dan internet. Hal ini mengakibatkan para remaja salah memaknai informasi bahkan menggunakan informasi itu untuk melakukan hal-hal buruk seperti perilaku seks pranikah tanpa ada aturan dari orang tua yang bersifat mengikat. Communication between parents and their children plays an important role in instilling moral values in avoiding negative behaviours, such as premarital sexual behaviour. This study aims to determine the extent of education and application of the rules by parents to prevent premarital sex. This research employed a descriptive qualitative study through an in-depth interview with four mothers and four children. The selection of informants is done by purposive sampling. The theory used was the rules theory with the rule-governing specification, purposed by Shimanoff. The results showed that awareness of the importance of sex education and the dangers of premarital sex was relatively low because it was considered inappropriate to discuss it with their children. As a result, their children obtained sex-related information mostly from other sources, such as peers and the internet. This resulted in the misinterpretation of information which encouraged negative behaviours which have intensified without any binding rules from parents.

Authors: Roosyidah Ismiana , Mahadian Adi Bayu
Published: July 2020

Dalam pandangan masyarakat, kultur dan tafsiran agama perempuan masih lekat dengan isu ketidakadilan gender. Khususnya bagi kaum feminisme, pandangan budaya dan keagamaan yang bersifat patriarkis menjadi tantangan untuk kebebasan perempuan dan kesetaraan gender. Dengan menggunakan metode Analisis Wacana Sara Mills, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana konstruksi wacana perempuan dan Islam dalam stand up comedy Komika Santri oleh Sakdiyah Ma’ruf. Peneliti menganalisis stand up comedy Komika Santri yang dibawakan oleh Sakdiyah Ma’ruf melalui tiga tahapan level analisis yaitu level kata, kalimat, dan wacana. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perempuan masih diperbincangkan sebagai korban dalam stand up comedy Komika Santri. Sakdiyah Ma’ruf menegaskan wacana bahwa ketidakadilan terhadap perempuan yang digambarkan dengan adanya pelarangan perempuan dalam beraktivitas di luar dan pembatasan hak perempuan disebabkan oleh ideologi agama yang bersifat patriarki. Melalui wacana tersebut, Sakdiyah Ma’ruf mengesampingkan bahwa diskriminasi terhadap perempuan terjadi karena praktik budaya patriarki yang menjadikan agama sebagai justifikasi untuk melakukannya.In the view of the community, culture and the interpretation of religion is still closely related to the issue of gender injustice. Especially for feminists, patriarchal culture and religion have challenged women's liberation and gender equality. Using Sara Mills’s discourse analysis method, this study sought to understand how Muslim woman was constructed in stand up comedy Komika Santri which was delivered by Sakdiyah Ma'ruf. Researchers analyzed the stand up comedy script through three levels of analysis, including words, sentences, and discourse. The research results showed that women were mainly discussed as victims in the stand up comedy Komika Santri. Sakdiyah Ma'ruf confirms discourse that social injustices against women such as the prohibition of women to perform an outdoor activity and the restrictions of women's rights was caused by religious-based patriarchal ideology. Through such a discourse, Sakdiyah Ma'ruf ignored that discrimination against women occurred because of the practice of patriarchal culture who made religion as a justification for doing so.

Published: July 2020

Background: After antibiotics, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) are one of the leading drug classes responsible for hypersensitivity reactions in children. The drug provocation test (DPT) is the criterion standard for diagnosis. Objective: The
aim of the present study was to determine the negative predictive values (NPV) of DPTs with NSAIDs in pediatric patients and to evaluate their attitudes toward NSAID use after a negative DPT result. Methods: The study included all patients who had undergone DPTs between
January 1, 2014, and December 31, 2018, in our pediatric allergy clinic for suspected NSAID hypersensitivity reaction and who had a negative result for the suspected agent. Those patients who could be contacted were asked whether the patient had used the same drug again since the DPT and,
if so, whether he or she had a reaction. Patients who were reported to have had a reaction were invited to the clinic for reevaluation. Based on the findings from this retesting, the NPVs of the DPTs with NSAIDs were calculated. Results: During the 5-year study period,
DPT results were negative for 230 suspected agents in 215 patients. Of these, 143 patients (66.5%) were able to be contacted. A total of 108 patients (75.5%) had used the tested NSAIDs at least once after the provocation test, and five patients (4.6%) reported a reaction on reexposure. Four
of these patients declined reevaluation, one patient exhibited no reaction in a second DPT. Therefore, the NPV was calculated as 96.3% (94.3% for ibuprofen, and 100% for paracetamol). Conclusion: The NPVs of DPTs with NSAIDs, especially of paracetamol DPT, is high in children.
This finding should reassure the parents of patients who may require NSAID therapy again.
Adherence and usage patterns of inhaled corticosteroids‐long-acting beta-agonists by using inhaler-monitoring technology
Authors: Stanford Richard H. , Averell Carlyne M. , Johnson Phaedra T. , Buysman Erin K. , Carlyle Maureen H.
Published: July 2020

Background: Results of previous research indicate that adherence to prescribed inhaled corticosteroid‐long-acting beta2-agonist (ICS-LABA) asthma controller medications is suboptimal, yet actual daily-use patterns are unclear and may be influenced by regimen complexity
or dosing frequency. Objective: To investigate real-world use of asthma medications by using inhaler sensors for the ICS-LABA controllers: twice-daily fluticasone propionate (FP) plus salmeterol (SAL) and once-daily fluticasone furoate (FF) plus vilanterol (VI); and albuterol
rescue medication. Methods: This longitudinal, two-phase, observational study included adults with asthma-prescribed FP-SAL (phase I) or FF-VI (phase II), and albuterol metered-dose inhalers. The participants completed baseline and follow-up surveys, and used clip-on inhaler
sensors to monitor real-time inhaler use over the 6-month study period. Pharmacy claims data for the 6-month follow-up period were used to assess refills of ICS-LABA and albuterol inhalers. Results: Patients who used twice-daily FP-SAL received a sufficient dose (≥2
actuations/day) approximately one third of the time, those on once-daily FF-VI received a sufficient dose (≥1 actuation/day) ∼60% of the time. Patients who used once-daily FF-VI were more likely to take their medication as prescribed versus those who used twice-daily FP-SAL. There were
no significant differences in the percentage of albuterol-free days (FP-SAL, 68.06% [n = 241]; FF-VI, 72.67% [n = 127]; p = 0.230). Exploratory outcomes are reported in this article's Online Supplemental Material. Claims-based measures of adherence were higher than sensor-based measures, hence
claims data may have overestimated adherence, whereas sensors may have more accurately measured patients' medication use. Conclusion: These data supported the use of inhaler sensors as tools to directly and accurately measure ICS-LABA adherence and rescue medication use,
and the adherence benefits of once-daily versus twice-daily ICS-LABA regimens.

Authors: Yang Lei , Zhao Qingtao , Wang Shuyu
Published: July 2020

Background: Serum periostin has been proposed as a noninvasive biomarker for asthma diagnosis and management. However, its accuracy for the diagnosis of asthma in different populations is not completely clear. Methods: This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate
the diagnostic accuracy of periostin level in the clinical determination of asthma. Several medical literature data bases were searched for relevant studies through December 1, 2019. The numbers of patients with true-positive, false-positive, false-negative, and true-negative results for the
periostin level were extracted from each individual study. We assessed the risk of bias by using Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies 2. We used the meta-analysis to produce summary estimates of accuracy. Results: In total, nine studies with 1757 subjects met
the inclusion criteria. The pooled estimates of sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic odds ratios for the detection of asthma were 0.58 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.38‐0.76), 0.86 (95% CI, 0.74‐0.93), and 8.28 (95% CI, 3.67‐18.68), respectively. The area under the
summary receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.82 (95% CI, 0.79‐0.85). And significant publication bias was found in this meta‐analysis (p = 0.39). Conclusion: Serum periostin may be used for the diagnosis of asthma, with moderate diagnostic accuracy.

This article aimed to understand the hidden interests and dominance occurring in industrial relations in the sharing economy system in Grab Indonesia, especially in GrabCar services. The formulations of the problem in this paper were: whether the cause of the conflict between Grab company and its business partners reflected the company's or business partners’ hidden interests? And then, what were the implications of the conflict on industrial relations for Grab and its partners?. This study used a qualitative approach with the Verstehen method to find the deepest and intersubjective meanings of social actions. This research applied the theory of conflict, industrial relations, and partnerships. Data sources in this study were primary sources in the form of interviews and secondary sources through newspapers, journals, books and webpages. The results showed that the cause of the conflict between Grab and its business partners revealed hidden interests of the company and some of its business partners. and also, conflicts caused imbalance and dominance of industrial relations in which the company has stronger power and authority than its business partners.

Authors: Mescouto Karime , Setchell Jenny
Published: July 2020

Every musculoskeletal pain condition and rehabilitation experience is different. That is why listening to, and truly collaborating with, people who experience pain is imperative in research and, ultimately, clinical management of musculoskeletal pain. Patient-centered care and shared decision making are core principles when working with people with musculoskeletal pain conditions, and should include research as a part of developing care. In this editorial, the authors provide one example of how they are partnering with patients (and clinicians) in their current research. They aim to encourage researchers to foster patient partnership in musculoskeletal research and share with potential patient partners how patients were engaged in their research.

Published: July 2020

Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States for both men and women. The rate of colon cancer incidence was low in India but is presently increasing; out of 3.5 million cancer cases, 35,000 have colon cancer. Polyps which are the small growths in the colon are most often benign, even though some have the potentiality to become cancerous. Up to two-thirds of the colorectal polyps are pre-malignant and they are linked with a risk of colorectal cancer. About 60% of currently used anti-cancer agents are derived from a natural source (i.e. plants). In our study anti-cancer potential of the extract of Coldenia procumbens was studied and the synthesis of the anti-cancer moiety has been done. With the findings, it can be concluded that the plant Coldenia procumbens Linn and possess anti colorectal cancer activity. Before the clinical usage of extract, through toxicological profile has to be determined on the crude extracts as well as on isolated compounds to confirm the safety of the drug.

HA plays a critical role in influenza infection and, thus HA is a potential target for antivirals. Recently, our laboratories have described a novel fusion inhibitor, termed CBS1117, with EC50 ∼3 μM against group 1 HA. In this work, we characterize the binding properties of CBS1117 to avian H5 HA by x-ray crystallography, NMR, and mutagenesis. The x-ray structure of the complex shows that the compound binds near the HA fusion peptide, a region that plays a critical role in HA-mediated fusion. NMR studies demonstrate binding of CBS1117 to H5 HA in solution and show extensive hydrophobic contacts between the compound and HA surface. Mutagenesis studies further support the location of the compound binding site proximal to the HA fusion peptide and identify additional amino acids that are important to compound binding. Together, this work gives new insights into the CBS1117 mechanism of action and can be exploited to further optimize this compound and better understand the group specific activity of small-molecule inhibitors of HA-mediated entry.

Systemic vomiting resulting from mental disorders and the high intake of acidic beverage in industrial societies result in a relatively elevated frequency of dental corrosion. In the past, however, this type of chemical dental wear was rather rare. Here we describe the case of a 3-year-old child dated to 1470±30BP from the archaeological site of Pedra do Cachorro (northeastern Brazil) that presents a unique pattern of chemical wearing compatible with dental corrosion. We integrate this observation with a broader characterization of buccal health including caries, periapical lesions, dental calculus and periodontal bone resorption. Osteological markers of physiological imperilments such as linear enamel hypoplasia (LEH) and transverse radiopaque lines (Harris lines) are also considered.
Prevalence and predictors of undernutrition among children under two years in Narmada District, Gujarat State, Western India: a community-based cross-sectional study
Authors: Rana Ritu
Published: July 2020

Background: Globally, addressing undernutrition has been recognised as a development priority.  In India, undernutrition continues to be the topmost risk factor for morbidity and associated mortality. The Government of India, though the National Nutrition Strategy, aims to reduce child mortality by preventing and reducing undernutrition among children. The aim of this study was to estimate prevalence and predictors of undernutrition among children under two years in Narmada district of Gujarat state, India.

Methods: A community-based cross-sectional survey was completed between July and August 2019. A probability sample of 400 children under two years of age were surveyed. A structured tool was used to collect data on exposures- socioeconomic conditions, dietary diversity, maternal care, infant feeding practices, household food insecurity, and child morbidity. The WHO child growth standards (2006) were used to measure the outcome (wasting, stunting and underweight). We used multivariate logistic regression analysis to identify the predictors of undernutrition. 

Results: The prevalence of wasting, stunting, and underweight were 32.2% (95% CI: 27.0-37.9), 34.5% (95% CI: 29.5-39.8), and 39.7% (95% CI: 33.9-45.8), respectively. Household income >10000 Indian Rupees-INR (OR: 0.61, 95% CI: 0.4, 0.90), maternal stature ≥145 cm (OR: 0.43, 95% CI: 0.21, 0.86) and child age 0-6 months (OR: 1.61, 95% CI: 1.00-2.56) were significantly associated with wasting. Household income (OR: 0.50, 95% CI: 0.26, 0.97), livestock ownership (OR 2.36: 95% CI: 1.25, 4.44), maternal body mass index ≥ 18.5 (OR: 0.63, 95% CI: 0.42, 0.95), and child age 7-23 months (OR: 5.89, 95% CI: 3.03, 11.45) were significantly associated with stunting. Maternal stature ≥145 cm (OR: 0.46, 95% CI: 0.23, 0.95) was significantly associated with underweight.

Conclusions: In Narmada, the prevalence of undernutrition among children under two years is high. To improve the situation, targeting the nutritional status of adolescent girls and mothers, strengthening already existing programs, and education on hygiene should be considered.

© 2017 Elsevier B.V. We evaluated eight biorefinery processes targeting the extraction of ulvan from Ulva ohnoi. Using a factorial design the effect of three sequential treatments (aqueous extraction of salt; ethanol extraction of pigments; and Na2C2O4 or HCl (0.05 M) extraction of ulvan) were evaluated based on the yield (% dry weight of biomass) and quality (uronic acid, sulfate, protein and ash content, constituent sugar and molecular weight analysis) of ulvan extracted. The aqueous extraction of salt followed by HCl extraction of ulvan gave higher yields (8.2 ± 1.1% w/w) and purity of ulvan than equivalent Na2C2O4 extracts (4.0 ± 1.0% w/w). The total sugar content of HCl extracts (624–670 μg/mg) was higher than Na2C2O4 extracts (365–426 μg/mg) as determined by constituent sugar with ulvan specific monosaccharides contributing 94.7–96.2% and 70.1–84.0%, respectively. Ulvan extracted from U. ohnoi was 53.1 mol% rhamnose, 27.8 mol% glucuronic acid, 10.1 mol% iduronic acid, and 5.3 mol% xylose with molecular weights ranging from 10.5–312 kDa depending on the biorefinery process employed. Therefore, the extraction of high quality ulvan from U. ohnoi is facilitated by an aqueous pre-treatment and subsequent HCl-extraction of ulvan as part of a cascading biorefinery model delivering salt, ulvan, and a protein enriched residual biomass.

© 2016 Elsevier Ltd Alterations to the composition of the bowel microbiota (dysbioses) are associated with particular diseases and conditions of humans. There is a need to discover new, indigestible polysaccharides which are selective growth substrates for commensal bowel bacteria. These substrates (prebiotics) could be added to food in intervention studies to correct bowel dysbiosis. A collection of commensal bacteria was screened for growth in culture using a highly-branched xylan produced by New Zealand flax. Two, Bacteroides ovatus ATCC 8483 and Bacteroides xylanisolvens DSM 18836 grew well on this substrate. The utilisation of the xylan was studied chromatographically and by constituent sugar analysis. The two closely related species utilised the xylan in different ways, and differently from their use of wheat arabinoxylan. The growth of Bacteroides species on other plant xylans having differing chemical structures was also investigated. Novel xylans expand the choice of potential prebiotics that could be used to correct bowel dysbioses.

© The Author(s) 2016. Carbohydrate polymers are industrially and medically important. For instance, a polysaccharide, alginate (from seaweed), is widely used in food, textile and pharmaceutical industries. Certain bacteria also produce alginate through membrane spanning multi-protein complexes. Using Pseudomonas aeruginosa as a model organism, we investigated the biological function of an alginate degrading enzyme, AlgL, in alginate production and biofilm formation. We showed that AlgL negatively impacts alginate production through its enzymatic activity. We also demonstrated that deletion of AlgL does not interfere with polymer length control, epimerization degree or stability of the biosynthesis complex, arguing that AlgL is a free periplasmic protein dispensable for alginate production. This was further supported by our protein-stability and interaction experiments. Interestingly, over-production of AlgL interfered with polymer length control, suggesting that AlgL could be loosely associated with the biosynthesis complex. In addition, chromosomal expression of algL enhanced alginate O-acetylation; both attachment and dispersal stages of the bacterial biofilm lifecycle were sensitive to the level of O-acetylation. Since this modification also protects the pathogen against host defences and enhances other virulence factors, chromosomal expression of algL could be important for the pathogenicity of this organism. Overall, this work improves our understanding of bacterial alginate production and provides new knowledge for alginate production and disease control.

© 2016 Elsevier Ltd The depolymerisation of porcine mucosal heparan sulfate under the action of heparin lyases and analysis by size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) is described. Heparan sulfate treated to enzymic bond scission producing a Δ4,5 double-bond and quantified by SEC with ultraviolet-visible (UV) spectroscopic detection (230 nm) indicated that the majority of the biopolymer (>85%) was reduced to disaccharides (degree of polymerisation (DP) = 2). However, analysis of the SEC eluant using refractive index (RI), which reflects the mass contribution of the oligosaccharides rather than the molar response of a UV chromophore, indicated that a considerable proportion of the digested HS, up to 43%, was present with DP >2. This was supported by a mass balance analysis. These results contradict the accepted literature where “complete digestion” is routinely reported. Herein we report on the composition and methodology utilised to ascertain the extent of depolymerization and disaccharide composition of this important biopolymer.

© 2015, American Society for Microbiology. Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae is the major cause of bacterial canker and is a severe threat to kiwifruit production worldwide. Many aspects of the disease caused by P. syringae pv. actinidiae, such as the pathogenicity-relevant formation of a biofilm composed of extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs), are still unknown. Here, a highly virulent strain of P. syringae pv. actinidiae, NZ V-13, was studied with respect to biofilm formation and architecture using a flow cell system combined with confocal laser scanning microscopy. The biofilm formed by P. syringae pv. actinidiae NZ V-13 was heterogeneous, consisting of a thin cellular base layer 5 μm thick and microcolonies with irregular structures. The major component of the EPSs produced by P. syringae pv. actinidiae NZ V-13 bacteria was isolated and identified to be an exopolysaccharide. Extensive compositional and structural analysis showed that rhamnose, fucose, and glucose were the major constituents, present at a ratio of 5:1.5:2. Experimental evidence that P. syringae pv. actinidiae NZ V-13 produces two polysaccharides, a branched α-D-rhamnan with side chains of terminal α-D-Fucf and an α-D-1,4-linked glucan, was obtained. The susceptibility of the cells in biofilms to kasugamycin and chlorine dioxide was assessed. About 64 and 73% of P. syringae pv. actinidiae NZ V-13 cells in biofilms were killed when kasugamycin and chlorine dioxide were used at 5 and 10 ppm, respectively. Kasugamycin inhibited the attachment of P. syringae pv. actinidiae NZ V-13 to solid surfaces at concentrations of 80 and 100 ppm. Kasugamycin was bacteriostatic against P. syringae pv. actinidiae NZ V-13 growth in the planktonic mode, with the MIC being 40 to 60 ppm and a bactericidal effect being found at 100 ppm. Here we studied the formation, architecture, and composition of P. syringae pv. actinidiae biofilms as well as used the biofilm as a model to assess the efficacies of bactericidal compounds.
