Authors: Adika Fredrick Odhiambo , Kwanya Tom 
Published: June 2020

PurposeThe purpose of this study was to analyse the skills required by lecturers to be able to support research data management effectively; assess the research data management literacy levels amongst lecturers at Strathmore University; and suggest how research data management capacity can be strengthened to mitigate the knowledge gaps identified.Design/methodology/approachThis study was conducted as a mixed methods research. Explanatory sequential mixed methods approach was used to collect, analyse and interpret quantitative and qualitative data from lecturers at Strathmore University in Nairobi, Kenya. Quantitative data was collected using questionnaires while qualitative data was collected through focus group discussions. Quantitative data was analysed using SPSS while qualitative data was analysed thematically.FindingsThe findings of this study indicate varied levels of research data management literacy amongst lecturers at Strathmore University. Lecturers understand the need of having literacy skills in managing research data. They also participate in data creation, collection, processing, validation, dissemination, sharing and archiving. This is a clear indication of good research data management. However, the study also revealed gaps in research data management skills amongst the lecturers in areas such as sharing of research data on open access journals, data legislation and securing research data.Research limitations/implicationsThe study has been conducted in one university in Kenya. However, the findings have been contextualised in the global landscape through suitable references.Practical implicationsThe findings of this study may be used to attract the attention of lecturers and librarians to research data management. The findings may also be used to develop institutional policies on research data management at Strathmore University and beyond. The suggested ways of research data capacity strengthening can be adopted or adapted by other universities to enhance research data management.Originality/valueThis is an original study.
Data librarianship in South African academic and research libraries: a survey
Authors: Chiware Elisha R.T. 
Published: June 2020

PurposeThe purpose of this study was to establish the current skills base of librarians working in research data management services in academic and research libraries in South Africa. The purpose was also to determine the relevance of courses and programmes that are currently being offered by library and information studies programmes in response to the needs of research data management services and make recommendations on curriculum improvement.Design/methodology/approachAbout 13 institutions which were considered early adopters of research data management services were identified as participants in an online survey. In addition, a review of Web pages of existing library and information studies schools was carried to establish courses that would support research data management services. Data collected through the two approaches were analysed and presented quantitatively and qualitatively.FindingsThe findings reveal an environment in a developmental stage, with limited skilled personnel to run research data management services. The findings also show an absence of specific data librarianship courses within existing library and information studies programmes and a very limited scope for the full range of data management courses within professional development programmes.Originality/valueThe paper provides information on approaches to further develop existing curriculum and contribute to the data management needs and support governments, funders and publishers' requirements for the discoverability and re-use of research data across research domains.
Knowledge sharing practices among cataloguers in Nigeria's academic libraries
Authors: Olatokun Wole , Njideaka Tobechukwu Mary-Ann 
Published: June 2020

PurposeThe imperative role of cataloguing in libraries as the bedrock of information/knowledge organization, the need to manage and retain knowledge for strategic planning and better knowledge management (KM) frameworks, little or no information sharing in cataloguing units in federal university libraries in Nigeria, gave rise to this study. The purpose of this study is to identify knowledge sharing (KS) norms and factors that challenge KS practices among cataloguers to provide positive perspective and approach to KS in cataloguing sections of university libraries and improve KM frameworks for better service delivery.Design/methodology/approachBased on a qualitative survey design, this study examined KS norms, practices and challenges of cataloguers in five university libraries in south-west Nigeria. Data were collected through an open interview to gather in-depth information from 45 cataloguers. Given the small number of the cataloguing team in each library, an enlisting of all cataloguers (census survey) was pertinent for the study. Data collected were analyzed thematically, interviews transcribed and similar responses grouped to provide answers to research questions.FindingsThis study revealed KS norms to be somewhat inconsistent and informal than formal, though participants identified the crucial need for KS in their departments. Factors identified as challenges to KS: mood and pressure from work, participants seeing KS as a waste of time, the “know-it-all” attitude, tribal differences, lack of financial motivation, no formal training and mentoring programme, willingness to learn and copy cataloguing.Originality/valueThis study not only improves the dearth of literature on the issue of KS among cataloguers in Nigerian university libraries; but also provides definite perspective and approach to KS in university libraries' cataloguing section to improve KM frameworks for better service delivery.
Abusive supervision and knowledge sharing: moderating roles of Islamic work ethic and learning goal orientation
Authors: Islam Talat , Ahmad Saima , Kaleem Ahmad , Mahmood Khalid 
Published: June 2020

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to extend the scant literature on the effect of abusive supervision on knowledge sharing by examining the roles of Islamic work ethic and learning goal orientation in moderating the effect.Design/methodology/approachThis paper utilizes a cross-lagged survey research design to collect data from 735 employees working in the services and manufacturing sectors of Pakistan.FindingsThe data analysis revealed that abusive supervision has a damaging effect on knowledge sharing in the workplace. However, employee learning goal orientation and the Islamic work ethic help in mitigating this detrimental effect.Research limitations/implicationsThe main theoretical implication is to advance knowledge on the boundary conditions that help in mitigating the undesirable effect of abusive supervision on sharing of knowledge in organizational settings.Practical implicationsThis paper provides practical insights into mitigating the damaging effects of abusive supervision, a prevalent issue in Asian societies, through the lenses of Islamic business ethics and learning goal orientation.Originality/valueThis is the first study that examines the boundary conditions placed by the Islamic work ethic and learning goal orientation around the relationship between abusive supervision and knowledge sharing in the context of Pakistan.
Identification and evaluation of the renewal of industrial land in master planning: the case of Lijia, China
Authors: Zhou Yang , Huang Xu , Li Wei 
Published: June 2020

Purpose
Industrial land renewal is a significant constituent of urban environment and sustainable development. Most implementation in planning of renewal of industrial land has been mainly conducted at the site level of industrial zones or parks and the larger scale of township planning deserve further attention in China. To fill this gap, this paper aims to investigate the implementation of industrial land renewal for a whole urbanized area under the township master planning.

Design/methodology/approach
This study introduces a progressive approach to identify and evaluate the renewal of industrial land in township master planning to move toward a more practical understanding of industrial transition. The authors chose a typical industrialized town, Lijia in Changzhou City, under the development model of “Southern Jiangsu” to explain the measurement and assessment framework to identify and evaluate the renewable industrial land. Synthesizing the idea of sustainable development, the authors investigated the renewable industrial land with an econometric model including multiple-indexes of economic, social and ecological aspects, field observations and depth interviews.

Findings
The analysis demonstrated the spatial heterogeneity and complex generous structure of industrial land renewal in developing countries. It pointed out the major responsibility of enterprises as main industrial land users and indispensable responsibility of government and society. Following the idea of organic concentration and avoiding one-size-fits-all kind of deal, the master planning of Lijia emphasized the connection of industrial land and the combination of market force, social force and government regulation.

Originality/value
With original data and discussion, the authors provide more scientific renewal strategies for planners in sustainable development.
Infrared thermographic detector of hidden corrosion
Authors: Simonov Denis , Vavilov Vladimir , Chulkov Arseniy 
Published: June 2020

Purpose
Active infrared (IR) thermography, because of its high productivity and illustrativeness, is a promising technique in nondestructive testing (NDT). The purpose of this paper is to discuss a concept and practical implementation of a portable experimental unit intended for IR thermographic NDT of corrosion in metallic shells.

Design/methodology/approach
The basic theory relates to the analysis of heat conduction in a plate with rear-surface material loss subjected to pulse, thermal wave or arbitrary heating.

Findings
The amplitude of temperature anomalies over defects and their characteristic observation times depend on material loss, size and shape of corrosion defects. A flexible architecture of the inspection unit is proposed to include flash tubes, halogen lamps and laser-emitting diode (LED) panels as sources of stimulating thermal radiation. In particular, LED heaters might be perspective due to their narrow spectral band, which is beyond a spectral sensitivity of modern IR imagers. It has been found that the IR thermographic technique is convenient for detecting material loss of up to 15–20 per cent in uniformly painted steel shells with thickness up to 8 mm. The concept of signal-to-noise ratio has been applied to evaluate efficiency of data processing techniques, such as Fourier transform and principal component analysis.

Originality/value
The developed equipment and inspection guidelines can be used for detecting hidden corrosion in metallic objects, such as above-ground tanks, pipes, containers, etc.
Benign neonatal hemangiomatosis with early regression of skin lesions: A case report and review of the published work
Authors: Korekawa Ayumi , Nakajima Koji , Nakano Hajime , Sawamura Daisuke 
Published: June 2020

AbstractA 2‐day‐old Japanese male infant was referred to our outpatient clinic for multiple cutaneous hemangiomas present since birth. Physical examination revealed 14 small, well‐circumscribed red papules, scattered over the head, face, dorsum of the right hand, trunk, lower extremities, buttocks and penis. Ultrasound examination revealed no evidence of visceral involvement. Histological examination of a cutaneous lesion was consistent with infantile hemangioma, resulting in the final diagnosis of benign neonatal hemangiomatosis (BNH). The hemangiomas enlarged by 1 month of age and began to resolve at 2 months of age. Within the next month, the lesions had almost completely disappeared. BNH is a rare, non‐heritable, self‐limited, benign disease characterized by multiple cutaneous infantile hemangiomas and no or unremarkable visceral lesions. Generally, BNH lesions spontaneously regress within the first 1–2 years of life or within 4 months of onset. However, there have been no detailed reports about the time course of BNH. To our knowledge, 31 cases of BNH without hepatic hemangiomas, excluding this case, have been reported so far. Twenty‐one of these cases demonstrated spontaneous regression of the cutaneous hemangiomas without treatment. In all cases, the cutaneous hemangiomas were present at birth. The median age at the beginning of spontaneous regression was 6.0 months (range, 1–12) and the median age at complete or almost complete regression was 15 months (range, 3–28). Cutaneous hemangiomas in BNH without hepatic hemangiomas undergo spontaneous regression within the first year of life.
Tumor necrosis factor‐alpha blockade ameliorates inflammatory response in two children with chronic infantile neurological, cutaneous and articular syndrome

Published: June 2020

AbstractChronic infantile neurological, cutaneous and articular (CINCA) syndrome is a rare autoinflammatory disease caused by monogenic defects in the NLRP3 gene. Pro‐inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin (IL)‐1β play a crucial role in the pathogenesis, and IL‐1 receptor antagonists have been regarded as the mainstay therapy. Endogenous tumor necrosis factor (TNF)‐α was found recently to be involved in the onset of the disease. Here, we report two Chinese children with CINCA syndrome who had elevated serum levels of TNF‐α, with one carrying a novel mutation of c.1330T/G (p.444Phe/Val) in exon 3 of the NLRP3 gene. Anti‐TNF‐α (etanercept) therapy successfully alleviated both clinical symptoms and systemic inflammation after 6 months. These results suggest the complexity of the mechanisms of the disease and that TNF‐α blockade will broaden the therapeutic approach for a subset of patients.
Environmental information disclosure in capital raising
Authors: Ji Zhiying , Yu Xiao , Yang Jiefei 
Published: June 2020

AbstractIn 2010, the Chinese Government issued a policy to require enterprises to disclose environmental information. Using the environmental disclosure information of 204 Chinese listed companies in 20 polluting sectors over the period of 2011–2015, we find that managers tend to withhold environmental information and selectively disguise sensitive environmental information in the face of financial pressure, and where the disclosure of sensitive environmental information would significantly increase the cost of debt financing. Furthermore, agency conflicts and information asymmetry between managers and outside investors promote the managers' tendencies to withhold environmental information when facing financial pressure.
A signal failure: Sports grants, public servants, and traffic lights
Authors: Di Francesco Michael 
Published: June 2020

AbstractThe Auditor General's performance audit into the failings of the Community Sport Infrastructure Grant Program has led to a ministerial resignation and a parliamentary inquiry. The media melee prompted by the ‘sports rorts’ affair has focussed on political corruption of process, with a concentration on the role of ministerial advisers. This is only part of the story. This article argues that on this occasion the Australian Public Service (APS) did not acquit itself well, and that the affair was triggered by an administrative failure to advise on threshold legal and procedural issues: what is termed the ‘traffic light’ role of a professional public service. The article considers how such policy advice failings may have occurred, and whether APS performance in this instance is an indicator of declining institutional capacity.
Could COVID‐19 Infect the Consumer Prices Index?*
Authors: Blundell Richard , Griffith Rachel , Levell Peter , O'Connell Martin 
Published: June 2020

AbstractThe spread of COVID‐19 has led to sweeping changes in the way households work, spend their time and shop, resulting in different shopping patterns and rapid price changes in some goods. How will changes such as these be reflected in headline inflation measures such as the Consumer Prices Index (CPI)? This paper discusses problems in interpreting the CPI as a measure of how the cost of living is changing during the lockdown.
Search and Wholesale Price Discrimination
Authors: Marshall Guillermo 
Published: June 2020

AbstractFirms often choose not to post prices in wholesale markets, and buyers must incur costs to discover prices. Inspired by evidence of customized pricing (e.g., some customers pay up to 70% more than others) and search costs, I estimate a search model to study how personalized pricing impacts efficiency in a wholesale market. I find that price discrimination decreases total surplus by 11.6% and increases the sellers' profits by up to 52.1%. These effects are partially explained by price discrimination softening competition through a decrease in search incentives, illustrating how price discrimination may magnify the efficiency costs of search frictions.
Alcohol Use Disorder Masks the Effects of Childhood Adversity, Lifetime Trauma, and Chronic Stress on Hypothalamic–Pituitary–Adrenal Axis Reactivity
Authors: Zhang Alice , Price Julianne L. , Leonard David , North Carol S. , Suris Alina , Javors Martin A. , Adinoff Bryon 
Published: June 2020

BackgroundIndividuals with alcohol use disorder (AUD) and those who have experienced traumas or chronic stress exhibit dysregulated hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis reactivity. Whether and how trauma and stress histories interact with AUD to affect HPA axis reactivity has not been assessed.MethodsIn the present study, 26 healthy male controls and 70 abstinent men with AUD were administered a pharmacologic probe [ovine corticotropin–releasing hormone (oCRH)] and psychosocial stressor to assess HPA axis reactivity. Plasma adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH) and cortisol were assessed every 10–20 minutes. Hierarchical clustering of multiple measures of trauma and stress identified 3 distinct clusters: childhood adversity, lifetime trauma, and chronic stress. General linear model procedures were used to examine main effects of group (AUD/control) and interaction effects of the 3 clusters upon net‐integrated ACTH and cortisol response.ResultsWe found that higher levels of childhood adversity, lifetime trauma, and chronic stress were each associated with blunted oCRH‐induced ACTH reactivity in controls, but not in the AUD group. Recent chronic stress within the prior 6 months had the strongest influence upon ACTH reactivity in the control group, and lifetime trauma, the least.ConclusionsChildhood adversity, lifetime trauma, and chronic stress likely exert persistent, measurable effects upon HPA axis functioning in healthy controls. This association appears to be masked in individuals with AUD, potentially confounding studies examining the effects of stress, adversity, and/or trauma upon the HPA axis in this population during the protracted withdrawal phase of recovery. Future work targeting stress exposure and reactivity should consider the heightened effect of previous alcohol use relative to past adversity and trauma.

Published: June 2020

AbstractThe amount of research being performed in children, in particular pharmacological research, is lower than in adults, which is in direct contrast to the aims of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. A Pediatric Clinical Research Center (PCRC) has been established at Sahlgrenska University Hospital with the aim of supporting clinical research in children and adolescents. The number of inquiries and initiated clinical studies at PCRC has increased since the start in 2016. In addition, there is a need for regional and national infrastructures for paediatric clinical research and a national network for paediatric clinical studies.ConclusionSahlgrenska University Hospital has established an infrastructure to support paediatric research and to work with national networks and infrastructures.
Side effect management during immune checkpoint blockade using CTLA‐4 and PD‐1 antibodies for metastatic melanoma – an update

Published: June 2020

SummaryCTLA‐4 and PD‐1 play a key role in tumor‐induced downregulation of lymphocytic immune responses. Immune checkpoint inhibitors have been shown to alter the immune response to various cancer types. Anti‐CTLA‐4 and anti‐PD‐1 antibodies affect the interaction between tumor, antigen‐presenting cells and T lymphocytes. Clinical studies of the anti‐CTLA‐4 antibody ipilimumab and the anti‐PD‐1 antibodies nivolumab and pembrolizumab have provided evidence of their positive effects on overall survival in melanoma patients. Combined treatment using ipilimumab and nivolumab has been shown to achieve five‐year survival rates of 52 %. Such enhancement of the immune response is inevitably associated with adverse events. Knowledge of the spectrum of side effects is essential, both in terms of prevention and management. Adverse events include colitis, dermatitis, hypophysitis, thyroiditis, hepatitis and other, less common autoimmune phenomena. In recent years, considerable progress has been made in the detection and treatment of the aforementioned immune‐related adverse events. However, early diagnosis of rare neurological or cardiac side effects, which may be associated with increased mortality, frequently pose a challenge. The present update highlights our current understanding as well as new insights into the spectrum of side effects associated with checkpoint inhibitors and their management.
Long‐term repeatability of behaviours in zebrafish (Danio rerio)
Authors: Thomson Hilary R. , Lamb Simon D. , Besson Anne A. , Johnson Sheri L. 
Published: June 2020

AbstractAnimal personality is defined as individual variation in behaviour that is consistent over time and/or across contexts. Animal personality is now considered a fundamental aspect in the fields of animal behaviour and behavioural ecology, yet the majority of studies assess repeatability of behaviours over only relatively short time periods (e.g. a week) using just two measures. Understanding whether behavioural traits are repeatable over longer periods is important for the assessment of individual differences in behaviour. Using zebrafish (Danio rerio), we investigated the repeatability of activity and exploratory behaviours, including distance travelled, time spent in the bottom of the arena, stationary time and overall exploration of the novel arena over a 28‐week period, using five intervals. All measures were repeatable over 28 weeks, but the repeatability estimates were much lower when comparing the initial week one and week two behaviours. There were clear sex differences in aspects of activity, with males more active than females. Importantly, our behavioural assays suggest that zebrafish require an initial “tank experience,” prior to the main phenotyping session, to ensure that behaviours being measured are repeatable—these effects are often not considered, but have implications for the many studies that measure behaviour at a single time point only.
