Authors: Borhani Morteza , Amiran Heidar , Edalatian Shahriari Jamshid , Kabaran Zadeh Ghadim Mohammad Reza 
Published: October 2020

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to propose a framework for the transformation from a second-generation university to an entrepreneurial university. The work is practical and innovative, which provides the foundation for further work in this field.Design/methodology/approachBased on a systematic review of relevant studies on entrepreneurial universities, this paper proposed an evaluation framework with clear logic and practicability. This paper also provided a basis for further research. The restrictions of each factor were defined by the readiness framework, and the consequences of entrepreneurial activities on local economic development were analyzed by using the proposed model. The proposed conceptual framework aided policymakers in completing a much-needed assessment of the impact of organizational policies, practices and structures on the entrepreneurial activities and transformation from second-generation universities to third-generation organizations.FindingsThe proposed readiness framework led to the development of organizational interventions that facilitated successful entrepreneurial activities. The quantitative indicators of different university types were demonstrated in this study. The quantitative validation of the integrated framework suggested that university heads and policymakers can encourage and develop academic entrepreneurship by using a comprehensive systems approach for the identification, protection and commercialization of university’s intellectual property.Originality/valueThis paper provides a framework for policymakers or decision makers to better understand whether a local university is ready for entrepreneurship. This framework also provides a direction for future quantitative research.

Published: October 2020

PurposeThe paper aims to offer a viewpoint on how governmental budgeting needs to be reconsidered after the COVID-19 outbreak.Design/methodology/approachBuilding on extant research, and drawing on the Italian context, the paper provides reflections on four interrelated aspects: (1) how budgeting and reporting processes and formats are being modified; (2) how budgeting may enhance governments' financial resilience; (3) how citizens are involved in the budgeting cycles and (4) how emergency responses may produce opportunities for corruption.FindingsTo tackle COVID-19 related challenges, budgeting, rebudgeting, reporting processes and formats need to be reconsidered and supported by the development of new competencies. Governments will need to put stronger emphasis on the anticipatory and coping roles of budgeting to reduce public organizations' exposure to shocks and support governmental resilience. The involvement of citizens has proven critical to face the pandemic and will become increasingly relevant due to the financial impacts of COVID-19 on future public service provision. Greater attention to the risks of increased corruption is also needed.Originality/valueDrawing lessons from one of the countries most hit by COVID-19, the paper offers a viewpoint on a timely topic of international relevance by looking in an integrated way at interrelated topics such as budgeting, rebudgeting, reporting, financial resilience, coproduction and corruption.

Published: October 2020

PurposeThis paper presents assessment results on the level of perceived knowledge in climate change and the extent to which participatory awareness in adaptation initiatives by management and the public in key selected areas identified to be highly impacted by climate change has fared.Design/methodology/approachExploratory research design, using snowball, purposive and simple random sampling methods, was employed to assess respondents' level of knowledge in climate change and participatory adaptation awareness activities. Focus group discussion was finally used to appraise returned responses that compared indigenous knowledge with scientific data to examine variables influencing key determinants.FindingsAge, gender, the level of education and work experience were all significant in determining outcome of responses by respondents on perceived level of knowledge in climate change and awareness in adaptation engagement efforts by the public. The study also confirmed existence of perceived knowledge and awareness gap with a marginal difference of 28% between management and stakeholder respondents.Practical implicationsAnthropogenic activities leading to climate change impacts are rarely linked to individual actions, lifestyles and community's sociocultural practices and choices.Originality/valueThere is a disconnect between what climate change managers know and are doing in terms of adaptation and mitigation efforts and what stakeholders should know and are expected to do toward achieving functional participatory engagements in Ghana. It calls for needs assessment on a governance system that will chart a new order to transform individual and household attitudes through curriculum development, awareness training, coping strategies to capacity building for members of the communities and households.
Application of multi-quality parameter design in the optimization of underfilling process – a case study of a vehicle electronic module
Authors: Huang Chien-Yi , Shen Li-Cheng , Wu Ting-Hsuan , Greene Christopher 
Published: October 2020

Purpose
This paper aims to discuss the key factors affecting the quality characteristics, such as the number of solder balls, the spread distance of residual underfill and the completion time of the underfilling.

Design/methodology/approach
The Taguchi method is applied to configure the orthogonal table and schedule and execute the experiment. In addition, principal components analysis is used to obtain the points. Then, based on gray relational analysis and the technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution, the closeness between each quality characteristic and the ideal solution is adopted as the basis for evaluating the quality characteristics.

Findings
The optimal parameter combination is proposed, which includes 4 dispensing (11 mg/dispensing), a “half flow” interval state, 80°C preheating module PCB board and an L-shaped dispensing path and verification testing is performed.

Originality/value
For vehicles and handheld electronic products, solder joints that connect electronic components to printed circuit boards may be cracked due to collision, vibration or falling. Consequently, solder balls are closely surrounded and protected by the underfill to improve joint strength and resist external force factors, such as collision and vibration. This paper addresses the defects caused during the second reflow process of a vehicle electronic communication module after the underfilling process.

AbstractPlant‐associated fungi can ameliorate abiotic stress in their hosts, and changes in these fungal communities can alter plant productivity, species interactions, community structure and ecosystem processes.We investigated the response of root‐associated fungi to experimental drought (66% reduction in growing season precipitation) across six North American grassland ecosystem types to determine how extreme drought alters root‐associated fungi, and understand what abiotic factors influence root fungal community composition across grassland ecosystems.Next generation sequencing of the fungal ITS2 region demonstrated that drought primarily re‐ordered fungal species' relative abundances within host plant species, with different fungal responses depending on host identity. Grass species that declined more under drought trended toward less community re‐ordering of root fungi than species less sensitive to drought. Host identity and grassland ecosystem type defined the magnitude of drought effects on community composition, diversity and root colonization, and the most important factor affecting fungal composition was plant species identity.Fungal diversity was less responsive to drought than fungal composition. Across ecosystems, latitude and soil pH were better predictors of fungal diversity than experimental drought. Drought significantly reduced fungal diversity and evenness only in sideoats gramaBouteloua curtipendulaand reduced root colonization only in blue gramaB. gracilis.Our results illustrate that predicting the effects of drought on root‐associated fungi will require attention to host plant identity and ecosystem type. By comparing our findings against soil microbe responses in the same experiment, we propose the hypothesis that fungi in plant roots are less sensitive to drought than fungi inhabiting soils. Our study highlights the importance of studying community‐level re‐ordering of fungal composition for understanding plant responses to climate change.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the prevalence of constipation during pregnancy and early puerperium.DesignObservational survey.SettingSecondary and tertiary hospital in Finland.PopulationPregnant (n = 474) and postpartum (n = 403) women and a control group of 200 non‐pregnant women who did not give birth in the past year.MethodsWomen reported bowel function and other gastrointestinal symptoms on a structured questionnaire using an 11‐point numerical rating scale (0 = no symptom, 10 = most severe symptom) and binominal yes/no questions during the second and third trimesters and few days and 1 month after childbirth.Main outcome measurePrevalence of constipation based on the Rome IV criteria.ResultsThe data consist of five cohorts of women: second trimester (n = 264), third trimester (n = 210), after vaginal delivery (n = 200) or caesarean section (n = 203), and a control group (n = 200). The prevalence of constipation was 40% in pregnant women and 52% (P < 0.001) in postpartum women, which was a higher prevalence than that in the control group, where 21% had constipation (P < 0.001). A few days after delivery, the prevalence of constipation was lower after vaginal delivery (47%) than caesarean section (57%, P < 0.039). One month postpartum, the prevalence of constipation was low: 9% after vaginal delivery (P = 0.002 compared with the control group) and 15% after caesarean section. Other gastrointestinal symptoms were common; pregnant women had the highest prevalence (34%) of nausea/vomiting.ConclusionThe prevalence of constipation was two‐ to three‐fold higher in pregnant women and a few days after delivery than in non‐pregnant women. During puerperium, bowel function returned to or below that reported in non‐pregnant women.Tweetable abstractConstipation is common in pregnancy and after delivery, but bowel function returns early in puerperium.

AbstractGenetic data represent a relatively new frontier for our understanding of global biodiversity. Ideally, such data should include both organismal DNA‐based genotypes and the ecological context where the organisms were sampled. Yet most tools and standards for data deposition focus exclusively either on genetic or ecological attributes. The Genomic Observatories Metadatabase (GEOME: geome‐db.org) provides an intuitive solution for maintaining links between genetic data sets stored by the International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration (INSDC) and their associated ecological metadata. GEOME facilitates the deposition of raw genetic data to INSDCs sequence read archive (SRA) while maintaining persistent links to standards‐compliant ecological metadata held in the GEOME database. This approach facilitates findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable data archival practices. Moreover, GEOME enables data management solutions for large collaborative groups and expedites batch retrieval of genetic data from the SRA. The article that follows describes how GEOME can enable genuinely open data workflows for researchers in the field of molecular ecology.

AbstractPurposeThere is a relative paucity of self‐reported vision problems data in European countries.MethodsIn this context, we investigated self‐reported vision problems through European Health Interview Survey 2, a cross‐sectional European population survey based on a standardized questionnaire including 147 medical, demographic and socioeconomic variables applied to non‐institutionalized individuals aged 15 years or more in 28 European countries, in addition to Iceland and Norway.ResultsThe survey included 311 386 individuals (54.18% women), with overall crude prevalence of self‐reported vision problems of 2.07% [95% CI; 2.01–2.14]. Among them, 1.70 % [1.61–1.78] of men, 2.41% [2.31–2.51] of women and 4.71% [4.53–4.89] of individuals aged 60 or more reported to have a lot of vision problems or to be not able to see. The frequency of self‐reported vision problems was the highest in Eastern European countries with values of 2.43% [2.30–2.56]. In multivariate analyses, limiting long‐standing illness, depression, daily smoking, lack of physical activity, lower educational level and social isolation were associated with self‐reported vision problems with ORs of 2.66 [2.42–2.92], 2.16 [2.01–2.32], 1.11 [1.01–1.23], 1.31 [1.21–1.42], 1.29 [1.19–1.40] and 1.45 [1.26–1.67], respectively, while higher income was associated with less self‐reported vision problems with OR of 0.80 [0.73–0.86].ConclusionsThis study demonstrated inequalities in terms of prevalence of self‐reported vision problems in Europe, with higher prevalence in Eastern European countries and among women and older individuals.

ObjectivesTo assess the impact of the introduction of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging of the prostate (mpMRIp) on the number of prostate biopsies performed in Australia.MethodsAustralian Medicare published statistics from 1 July 2007 to 30 June 2019 were obtained from publically available databases for prostate‐specific antigen (PSA) testing, prostate biopsy, and mpMRIp. Analysis was divided into three time periods broadly based on availability of mpMRI to the Australian public: 2007–2012 (no mpMRIp), 2012–2018 (mpMRIp available, privately funded), and 2018–2019 (mpMRIp available with Medicare funding). Introduction of mpMRIp was hypothesised to reduce the number of prostate biopsies performed. PSA testing numbers were used as a control. The economics model, proposed by the Medical Services Advisory Committee (MSAC), was analysed for cost savings.ResultsAccounting for variations in PSA testing, the introduction of mpMRIp from 2012 coincided with a reduction in the number of prostate biopsies by an average of 354.7/month (95% CI 175, 534.4; P < 0.001). Whilst the number of mpMRIp performed for the initial 12 months was underestimated by the MSAC at 38 470 vs 20 149 (+$8.3 million Australian dollars), we estimate the annual savings from reduced number biopsies and biopsy‐associated complications to be $13.2 ± 9.6 million.ConclusionAvailability of mpMRIp in Australia has correlated with a significant reduction in prostate biopsy rates, with an estimated annual saving of $13.2 ± 9.6 million. Government funding of this diagnostic service has the potential to improve health equity and save on health expenditure.
Tracking the response of industrial fishing fleets to large marine protected areas in the Pacific Ocean

Published: October 2020

AbstractLarge marine protected areas (MPAs) of unprecedented size have recently been established across the global oceans, yet their ability to meet conservation objectives is debated. Key areas of debate include uncertainty over nations’ abilities to enforce fishing bans across vast, remote regions and the intensity of human impacts before and after MPA implementation. We used a recently developed vessel tracking data set (produced using Automatic Identification System detections) to quantify the response of industrial fishing fleets to 5 of the largest MPAs established in the Pacific Ocean since 2013. After their implementation, all 5 MPAs successfully kept industrial fishing effort exceptionally low. Detected fishing effort was already low in 4 of the 5 large MPAs prior to MPA implementation, particularly relative to nearby regions that did not receive formal protection. Our results suggest that these large MPAs may present major conservation opportunities in relatively intact ecosystems with low immediate impact to industrial fisheries, but the large MPAs we considered often did not significantly reduce fishing effort because baseline fishing was typically low. It is yet to be determined how large MPAs may shape global ocean conservation in the future if the footprint of human influence continues to expand. Continued improvement in understanding of how large MPAs interact with industrial fisheries is a crucial step toward defining their role in global ocean management.

AbstractBackgroundImpact of portal vein thrombosis (PVT) on the clinical course in liver transplant candidates remains unclear. This study aims to identify prevalence and risk factors for PVT, assess outcome after liver transplantation (LT) in patients with PVT and study the effect of anticoagulation.MethodsThis single‐center retrospective cohort study was performed from January 2006 until June 2016. Patients were stratified according to presence of PVT. Risk factors and outcome were assessed using logistic regression and survival analysis.ResultsAmong 390 adults who underwent orthotopic LT, PVT occurred in 40 (10.3%). In, respectively, 10 (25%), 7 (17.5%), and 23 (57.5%) patients, PVT was identified at time of evaluation for transplantation, on the waiting list and during transplantation. A beneficial trend was present favoring the use of anticoagulation for PVT resolution (n = 3/7 vs 0/9; p = .062). Patient and graft survival were similar between the groups after a median follow‐up of 5 years. However, 1‐year patient survival was significantly lower (p = .031) in patients with PVT.ConclusionPortal vein thrombosis occurred in 10% of patients awaiting LT was undiagnosed in 50% until moment of LT and had a deleterious effect on 1‐year survival. Anticoagulation showed a beneficial trend on recanalization of PVT and survival rate.

SummaryBackgroundThe association between Borrelia burgdorferi and primary cutaneous lymphoma is still unclear. This systematic review and meta‐analysis aims to define the association of Borrelia burgdorferi with primary cutaneous lymphoma and its different entities.MethodsElectronic databases were searched for all studies that assessed the presence of Borrelia burgdorferi DNA in specimens of primary cutaneous lymphoma. The association between Borrelia and primary cutaneous lymphomas was assessed with an odds ratio (significant p < 0.05); cutaneous specimens with no lymphoproliferative disorders were used as controls. A secondary analysis was performed to assess the prevalence of Borrelia infection in different lymphoma entities.ResultsTen studies with 506 primary cutaneous lymphomas and 201 controls were included. The prevalence of Borrelia DNA positivity was highly heterogeneous among studies from different regions. Borrelia DNA positivity was significantly associated with primary cutaneous lymphomas (odds ratio = 10.88; p < 0.00001). The prevalence of Borrelia DNA positivity was similar among different entities (marginal zone: 7.3 %; follicular: 8.1 %; diffuse large B‐cell: 7.5 %; mycosis fungoides: 8 %).ConclusionsBorrelia burgdorferi is significantly associated with primary cutaneous lymphomas, with no differences among the several lymphoma entities (both B‐cell and T‐cell), but with strong geographical differences. Molecular testing for Borrelia would be justified in patients with primary cutaneous lymphoma from endemic areas.
Adult survival probability and body size affect parental risk‐taking across latitudes

Published: October 2020

AbstractParents faced with a predator must choose between their own safety versus taking care of their offspring. Each choice can have fitness costs. Life‐history theory predicts that longer‐lived species should be less willing than shorter‐lived species to return to care for their offspring after a predator disturbance because they have more opportunities to reproduce in the future. We increased adult predation risk during incubation for 40 bird species in north temperate, tropical, and south temperate latitudes. We found that species with higher adult survival probabilities were more cautious, waiting longer before returning to the nest to provide care. Contrary to other studies, we also found that parents were more risk averse and waited longer to return in smaller than larger species, likely reflecting greater vulnerability of smaller species. Ultimately, the relative risk a predator poses to a species and the probability of future reproduction predict parental risk taking across the world.
