Published: November 2020

AbstractThere is an urgent need for disinfection and sterilization devices accessible to the public that can be fulfilled by innovative strategies for using cold atmospheric pressure plasmas. Here we explore and evaluate an approach combining a flexible printed circuit design of a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) with an environmentally safe chemical reagent for surface decontamination from bacterial contaminants. The device operates in ambient air without any additional gas flow at a power density of about 0.5 W/cm2. Using a 3% hydrogen peroxide solution as a model reagent we demonstrate improved reduction in the bacterial load of a surface contaminant of >6log10in 90 seconds, about 3log10and 2log10faster compared to hydrogen peroxide alone and the flexible DBD alone, respectively, for the same treatment time. The synergistic action of the plasma bioactive properties and hydrogen peroxide result in a dramatic improvement of surface disinfection. This opens new possibilities for using the low power flexible DBD plasma sources for surface disinfection and decontamination.
Live-cell microscopy reveals that human T cells primarily respond chemokinetically within a CCL19 gradient that induces chemotaxis in dendritic cells

Published: November 2020

AbstractThe ability to study migratory behavior of immune cells is crucial to understanding the dynamic control of the immune system. Migration induced by chemokines is often assumed to be directional (chemotaxis), yet commonly used endpoint migration assays are confounded by detecting increased cell migration that lacks directionality (chemokinesis).To distinguish between chemotaxis and chemokinesis we used the classic “under-agarose assay” in combination with video-microscopy to monitor migration of CCR7+ human monocyte-derived dendritic cells and T cells in response to a concentration gradient of CCL19. The formation of the gradients was visualized with a fluorescent marker and lasted several hours.Monocyte-derived dendritic cells migrated chemotactically towards the CCL19 gradient. In contrast, T cells exhibited a biased random walk that was primarily driven by increased exploratory chemokinesis towards CCL19. This dominance of chemokinesis over chemotaxis in T cells is consistent with CCR7 ligation optimizing T cell scanning of antigen-presenting cells in lymphoid tissues.
Linguistic processing of task-irrelevant speech at a Cocktail Party
Authors: Yahav Paz Har-shai , Golumbic Elana Zion 
Published: November 2020

AbstractPaying attention to one speaker in noisy environments can be extremely difficult, because to-be-attended and task-irrelevant speech compete for processing resources. We tested whether this competition is restricted to acoustic-phonetic interference or if it extends to competition for linguistic processing as well. Neural activity was recorded using Magnetoencephalography as human participants were instructed to attended to natural speech presented to one ear, and task-irrelevant stimuli were presented to the other. Task-irrelevant stimuli consisted either of random sequences of syllables, or syllables structured to form coherent sentences, using hierarchical frequency-tagging.We find that the phrasal structure of structured task-irrelevant stimuli was represented in the neural response in left inferior frontal and posterior parietal regions, indicating that selective attention does not fully eliminate linguistic processing of task-irrelevant speech. Additionally, neural tracking of to-be-attended speech in left inferior frontal regions was enhanced when competing with structured task-irrelevant stimuli, suggesting inherent competition between them for linguistic processing.Impact StatementSyntactic structure-building processes can be applied to speech that is task-irrelevant and should be ignored, demonstrating that Selective Attention does not fully eliminate linguistic processing of competing speech.
Unpacking brand loyalty in retailing: a three-dimensional approach to customer–brand relationships
Authors: Diallo Mbaye Fall , Moulins Jean-Louis , Roux Elyette 
Published: November 2020

PurposeDespite the numerous works on multifaceted relationships between customers and brands, such relationships remain complex and poorly understood in retailing. This research analyses the direct effects of brand images (hedonic, symbolic and functional) on three specific relationship variables (brand trust, brand attachment and brand social identification). It also investigates their indirect effects on three types of loyalty (cognitive, affective and normative) in retailing.Design/methodology/approachThis paper is based on quantitative research involving 417 respondents. It uses structural equation models to test relevant research hypotheses.FindingsThe results show that hedonic brand image affects brand attachment, while functional brand image influences brand trust. Symbolic brand image has similar effects on the three relationship variables (attachment, trust, identification). Moreover, the relationships between brand image dimensions and brand loyalty types are positively mediated by attachment, trust and brand identification. Therefore, the authors highlight a more complex process in customer–brand relationships than previously thought.Research limitations/implicationsThis article focusses on the cosmetic retail sector. It would be interesting to empirically test/extend the model in other industries/sectors. Future studies could also include brand attitude in their research model.Practical implicationsTo strengthen affective loyalty, retail managers should focus on both hedonic image and brand attachment (e.g. emphasise the brand personality traits that refer to both affect and hedonism). To develop normative loyalty, they should improve symbolic brand image and facilitate customer brand identification.Originality/valueThis research provides a new three-dimensional model of customer relationships with brands to account for the dynamic nature of customer loyalty in retailing. It shows how three dimensions of brand image (hedonic, functional and symbolic) affect three types of loyalty (affective, cognitive and normative) through the mediation of three specific relationship variables (brand attachment, brand trust and brand identification).
A URI parsing technique and algorithm for anti-pattern detection in RESTful Web services
Authors: Alshraiedeh Fuad Sameh , Katuk Norliza 
Published: November 2020

Purpose
Many REpresentational State Transfer (RESTful) Web services suffered from anti-patterns problem, which may diminish the sustainability of the services. The anti-patterns problem could happen in the code of the programme or the uniform resource identifiers (URIs) of RESTful Web services. This study aims to address the problem by proposing a technique and an algorithm for detecting anti-patterns in RESTful Web services. Specifically, the technique is designed based on URIs parsing process.

Design/methodology/approach
The study was conducted following the design science research process, which has six activities, namely, identifying problems, identifying solutions, design the solutions, demonstrate the solution, evaluation and communicate the solution. The proposed technique was embedded in an algorithm and evaluated in four phases covering the process of extracting the URIs, implementing the anti-pattern detection algorithm, detecting the anti-patterns and validating the results.

Findings
The results of the study suggested an acceptable level of accuracy for the anti-patterns detection with 82.30% of precision, 87.86% of recall and 84.93% of F-measure.

Practical implications
The technique and the algorithm can be used by developers of RESTful Web services to detect possible anti-pattern occurrences in the service-based systems.

Originality/value
The technique is personalised to detect amorphous URI and ambiguous name anti-patterns in which it scans the Web service URIs using specified rules and compares them with pre-determined syntax and corpus.
Stakeholders' perspectives of public participation in landuse policy: the Nigeria experience
Authors: Badiora Adewumi I. 
Published: November 2020

PurposeIt has long been recognised that the top-down approach is prevailing over bottom-up approach in landuse planning in African countries. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate and identify the facilitators and limitations to have effective public participation (PP), and suggest how the practices can be improved in Nigeria.Design/methodology/approachUsing Nigeria as a case study, this paper involves interviews of various stakeholders, including government staff, representatives of interest groups, general public, members of the planning board and planning commission. Information is analysed by narrative techniques of reporting.FindingsThere is a general judgment that PP is vital to landuse policy. Early public consultation was preferred, as many respondents pointed out that this would help shape the final policy. Yet, their opinion varied on whether relevant information was provided to the public, as well as their level of satisfaction with the whole process. While the process was fairly seen as giving opportunities for the public to make comments on public policy, the approach appeared not to be fruitful in many cases: (a) when the scope was broad; (b) lack of representativeness and abstruse information; (c) insufficient feedback to the participants; and (d) corruption and shortage of resources to complete the process promptly.Practical implicationsUnderstanding the facilitators and limitations that impact the success of PP can help provide guidance to improve the decision-making processes of public policies.Originality/valueThis paper fills the knowledge gap by providing the Nigerian experience on stakeholders' perspectives of PP in developing countries.
The impact of knowledge sharing enablers on knowledge sharing behavior: an empirical study
Authors: Eletter Shorouq , El Refae Ghaleb Awad , Kaba Abdoulaye 
Published: November 2020

Purpose
Academic institutions play a crucial role in social and economic development. They share responsibilities to equip students with knowledge and skills. This study aims to examine and investigate the impact of knowledge sharing enablers (KSE) on knowledge sharing behavior (KSB). The paper measured KSE through perceived instructor support of knowledge sharing instructor support (IS), perceived information and communication technology (ICT) support of knowledge sharing and perceived ability to share knowledge (ASK).

Design/methodology/approach
A survey questionnaire was used as an instrument for data collection. A sample of 597 students from Al Ain University in UAE participated in the study. The collected data were treated and analyzed through MS Excel and International Business Machines Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25. The theory of reasoned action (TRA) was used in formulating a conceptual framework. Several statistical techniques, including partial least square structural equation modeling, were used to test and verify hypotheses.

Findings
Findings of the study supported TRA theory by suggesting a positive and significant impact of KSE (IS, ICT and ASK) on KSB. The findings supported the stated three hypotheses and confirmed that at least 45% of the variation in students’ KSB is explained by a variation in one of the three KSE indicators. The paper provided important theoretical and practical implications for researchers and managers of academic institutions.

Originality/value
Academic institutions need to advance their strategies to create more collaborative environments for boosting knowledge sharing among students. Such practice will contribute in improving the students’ overall capabilities, skills and success of academic institutions.

Published: November 2020

AbstractOverexpression of the ubiquitous protein kinase, CK2α, has been reported in various human cancers. Here, we demonstrate that nuclear and nucleolar CK2α localization in invasive ductal carcinomas of the breast is a reliable predictor of poor prognosis. Cellular localization of CK2α in nuclei and nucleoli was analyzed immunohistochemically using surgical tissue blocks from 112 patients, who had undergone surgery without neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Clinical data collection and median follow‐up period were for more than 5 y. In total, 93.8% of patients demonstrated elevated CK2α expression in nuclei and 36.6% of them displayed elevated expression predominantly in nucleoli. Clinicopathological malignancy was strongly correlated with elevated nuclear and nucleolar CK2α expression. Recurrence‐free survival was significantly worse (P = .0002) in patients with positive nucleolar CK2α staining. The 5‐y survival rate decreased to a roughly 50% in nucleolar CK2α‐positive patients of triple‐negative (P = .0069) and p Stage 3 (P = .0073) groups. In contrast, no patients relapsed or died in the triple‐negative group who exhibited a lack of nucleolar CK2α staining. Evaluation of nucleolar CK2α staining showed a high secondary index with a hazard ratio of 6.629 (P = .001), following lymph node metastasis with a hazard ratio of 14.30 (P = .0008). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that nucleolar CK2α is an independent factor for recurrence‐free survival. Therefore, we propose that histochemical evaluation of nucleolar CK2α‐positive staining may be a new and robust prognostic indicator for patients who need further treatment. Functional consequences of nucleolar CK2 dysfunction may be a starting point to facilitate development of novel treatments for invasive breast carcinoma.
Preferences for local food: Tourists versus local residents

Published: November 2020

AbstractThis study examines preferences for local foods by two distinct consumer groups: local residents and tourists. In an incentive‐compatible framed field experiment, a series of dichotomous‐choice tasks involving oyster purchases were completed by 758 individuals: 341 local residents recruited at a Division of Motor Vehicles office and 417 tourists recruited at a beach ferry terminal. The experimental design allowed us to investigate differences in preferences between tourists and local residents for locally produced oysters. Our estimates suggest both locals and tourists are willing to pay more for local oysters than for nonlocal ones, though this result is only statistically significant among tourists. The findings from this study shed light on potential designs for labels of food products, particularly when marketed in popular tourism areas.
Age‐Specific Effects of Lexical–Semantic Networks on Word Production
Authors: Krethlow Giulia , Fargier Raphaël , Laganaro Marina 
Published: November 2020

AbstractThe lexical–semantic organization of the mental lexicon is bound to change across the lifespan. Nevertheless, the effects of lexical–semantic factors on word processing are usually based on studies enrolling young adult cohorts. The current study aims to investigate to what extent age‐specific semantic organization predicts performance in referential word production over the lifespan, from school‐age children to older adults. In Study 1, we conducted a free semantic association task with participants from six age‐groups (ranging from 10 to 80 years old) to compute measures that capture age‐specific properties of the mental lexicon across the lifespan. These measures relate to lifespan changes in the Available Richness of the mental lexicon and in the lexical–semantic Network Prototypicality of concrete words. In Study 2, we used the collected data to predict performance in a picture‐naming task on a new group of participants within the same age‐groups as for Study 1. The results show that age‐specific semantic Available Richness and Network Prototypicality affect word production speed while the semantic variables collected only in young adults do not. A richer and more prototypical semantic network across subjects from a given age‐group is associated with faster word production speed. The current results indicate that age‐specific semantic organization is crucial to predict lexical–semantic behaviors across the lifespan. Similarly, these results also provide cues to the understanding of the lexical–semantic properties of the mental lexicon and to lexical selection in referential tasks.
Climbing up or falling down: Narcissism predicts physiological sensitivity to social status in children and their parents

Published: November 2020

AbstractChildren's narcissism may be rooted in sensitivity to social status (i.e., prominence, respect, and influence in a social group), and this sensitivity might be shared with parents. Testing this idea, a randomized experiment examined how children with high narcissism levels and their parents respond to gains and losses of social status. On a simulated social media platform, children (N = 123, ages 8–13) competed with fictitious peers for status and were randomly assigned to gain or lose status. Unbeknownst to children, parents viewed the course of the task. Children's and parents' affective reactions during the task were measured with facial electromyography, which detects spontaneous facial muscle activity linked to positive affect (i.e., zygomaticus major activity, involved in smiling) and negative affect (i.e., corrugator supercilii activity, involved in frowning). Children with higher narcissism levels showed steeper increases in negative affect during status loss and steeper increases in both positive and negative affect during status gain. Their parents mirrored the steeper increase in positive affect during their child's status gain, but they did not mirror the increase in negative affect. These results suggest that children with high narcissism levels and their parents show intensified affective‐motivational responses to children's status‐relevant experiences. These responses may be transmitted from one generation to the other (e.g., genetically or through parent–child socialization).
La OIT y el trabajo penitenciario: por una necesaria reorientación
Authors: MILMAN‐SIVAN Faina , SAGY Yair 
Published: November 2020

ResumenEste artículo analiza el enfoque normativo dualista de la OIT sobre el trabajo penitenciario, basado en la «exención estatal» respecto del trabajo forzoso, y trata de demostrar su desconexión con la realidad actual en que dicho trabajo tiene lugar, caracterizada por la proliferación de contextos híbridos público‐privados. Los autores ponen de relieve la controversia que suscita ese enfoque y su cuestionamiento por parte de los Estados Miembros, exponen el alto precio que supondría para la Organización mantener su actual rumbo o ceder a las exigencias de flexibilidad de algunos Estados Miembros y proponen dos nuevas alternativas para superar el conflicto.
Comic Impossibilities
Authors: LEDDINGTON JASON 
Published: November 2020

ABSTRACTMagic and stand-up comedy have a lot in common. For example, when successful, both tend to elicit laughter, and many magicians regularly perform in comedy clubs. Nevertheless, the close relationship between magic and comedy is poorly understood. The goal of this article is to explore this relationship and to defend the thesis that magic is actually a form-arguably a limit case-of stand-up comedy. This requires first introducing definitions of both stand-up comedy and magic. The core argument then deploys one of today's best-developed philosophical theories of comic amusement to show that magic, when successful, is humorous. In this way, the article contributes to our understanding of both the emotional response to magic and the nature and scope of comedy. The article begins with an analysis of Steve Martin's 1968 TV debut on the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, in which he performs a “socko-boffo comedy routine” that seamlessly integrates absurdist comedy with magic tricks.

AbstractZirconia toughened aluminas (ZTAs) are one of the most important engineering ceramics with high melting points, excellent mechanical strength, and chemical stability, and are commonly used as wear resistant and high‐temperature components, as prosthetic implants, and electric circuit substrates. In this work, we explore methods of processing fine‐grained, dense, thin, free‐standing (ZrO2)x(Al2O3)1−x films (x = 0‐50 mol%, ~40 μm thick) by sintering flame made nanopowders (NPs) to optimize the t‐ZrO2 content, sinterability, and microstructures under select conditions (1120°C‐1500°C/5 h in O2 or 95%N2/5%H2). In all cases, the final sintered products retain t‐ZrO2 with average grain sizes (AGSs) of 0.1‐1 μm. ZTA film thicknesses were increased to ~200 μm to assess potential as electronic substrates. Excellent fracture toughness (24 MPa m1/2) and small AGSs of 0.7 μm were found for ~200 μm thick ZTA films sintered at 1500°C/5 h/N2/H2 using a three‐step binder burnout process. Furthermore, we show that homogeneous ZTA thin films (<5 μm thick) can be sintered on Si3N4 substrates (thickness ≈ 300 μm) to provide physical protection against oxidation under extreme conditions (1500°C/1 h/O2), offering additional practical utility for high‐temperature ceramics and power electronic substrates.
Being Alongside and Becoming Researcher: Art Practice, Accountability and Convergence in the Studio
Authors: Atkinson Anne‐Marie 
Published: November 2020

AbstractThis article offers an analysis of a period of autoethnographic fieldwork conducted at Venture Arts, an art studio in Manchester (UK) that provides infrastructure to support people with intellectual disabilities to participate in the visual arts. The analysis is concerned with two ‘discomfort zones’ that have become apparent in the research period. The first is my positionality as a researcher in the studio space. In this section I draw on new materialism and critical disability studies to propose my methodology, mode of analysis and strategies of writing. In writing towards an understanding of my positionality and associated affective flows, the second discomfort zone provides an exposition of my emerging methodology. In this section I analyse my fieldnotes to explore the tensions and alliances between different zones of practice in the Venture Arts studio, and their relationship with existing conceptions of contemporary art and relational art. While each of these lenses offers tools through which to understand the artistic practice that arises out of the studio, none of them does completely. Instead, I propose an alternative account that recognises the overlapping, converging and co‐constituted zones of practice in the Venture Arts studio.
