Published: November 2019

Background:
Implementation science (IS) occupies a critical place in HIV/AIDS research, reflected by a scientific track (“Track E”) at the biannual International AIDS Conference. IS seeks to identify health delivery strategies that cost-effectively translate the efficacy of evidence-based interventions for HIV prevention, testing, and treatment into impact on HIV incidence, quality of life, and mortality.

Method:
We reviewed the content of Track E, and other presentations relevant to IS, at the 22nd International AIDS Conference held in Amsterdam in 2018. We identified key findings and themes and made recommendations for areas where the field can be strengthened by the 2020 meeting.

Results:
Trials of “treat all” strategies in Africa showed mixed evidence of effect. Innovations in HIV testing included expanding self-testing and index testing, which are reaching groups, such as men, where previously testing rates have been low. Adherence clubs and other innovations are being trialed to improve retention in care, with mixed findings. The implementation of pre-exposure prophylaxis for HIV prevention continues but with many challenges remaining in identifying implementation strategies that strengthen demand and support continuation.

Discussion:
IS for HIV/AIDS treatment and prevention continues to expand. IS for primary HIV prevention must be prioritized with a dearth of rigorous, intersectoral studies in this area. The weakness of routine data must be addressed. Costing and financing studies should form a stronger component of the conference agenda. Implementation scientists must continue to grapple with the methodological challenges posed by the real-world context for their research.

Published: November 2019

Abstract
Crainoplasty following decompressive craniotomy is widely applied clinically. Here, a 55-year-old male had clinical presentation of fever, headache, and ulceration at the anterior scalp of left ear, with 4 to 5 mL pus induction per day, where he accepted cranioplastic surgery 17 years ago using the material of medical silicone rubber. The results of experimental test and magnetic resonance imaging indicated a sign of infection. The authors reported a rarely delayed infection 17 years after cranioplastic surgery. The over long-term risks for the previously transplanted materials should be recognized.
Strongly anisotropic surface elasticity and antiplane surface waves
Authors: Eremeyev V. A. 
Published: November 2019

Within the new model of surface elasticity, the propagation of anti-plane surface waves is discussed. For the proposed model, the surface strain energy depends on surface stretching and on changing of curvature along a preferred direction. From the continuum mechanics point of view, the model describes finite deformations of an elastic solid with an elastic membrane attached on its boundary reinforced by a family of aligned elastic long flexible beams. Physically, the model was motivated by deformations of surface coatings consisting of aligned bar-like elements as in the case of hyperbolic metasurfaces. Using the least action variational principle, we derive the dynamic boundary conditions. The linearized boundary-value problem is also presented. In order to demonstrate the peculiarities of the problem, the dispersion relations for surface anti-plane waves are analysed. We have shown that the bending stiffness changes essentially the dispersion relation and conditions of anti-plane surface wave propagation.

Internal resonances and relaxation memory kernels in composites
Authors: Cherkaev Elena 
Published: November 2019

In heterogeneous composite materials, the behaviour of the medium on larger scales is determined by the microgeometry and properties of the constituents on finer scales. To model the influence of the microlevel processes in composite materials, they are described as materials with memory in which the constitutive relations between stress and strain are given as time-domain convolutions with some relaxation kernel. The paper reveals the relationship between the viscoelastic relaxation kernel and the spectral measure in the Stieltjes integral representation of the effective properties of composites. This spectral measure contains all information about the microgeometry of the material, thus providing a link between the relaxation kernel and the microstructure of the composite. We show that the internal resonances of the microstructure determine the characteristic relaxation times of the fading memory kernel and can be used to introduce a set of internal variables that captures dissipation at the microscale.This article is part of the theme issue ‘Modelling of dynamic phenomena and localization in structured media (part 2)’.
eMAGMA: An eQTL-informed method to identify risk genes using genome-wide association study summary statistics
Authors: Gerring Zachary F , Mina-Vargas Angela , Derks Eske M 
Published: November 2019

AbstractIdentifying genes underlying genetic associations of complex disease is challenging because most common risk variants reside in non-protein coding regions of the genome and likely alter the expression of target genes by disrupting tissue and cell-type specific regulatory elements. To address this challenge, we developed a methodological framework, eQTL-MAGMA (eMAGMA), that converts SNP-level summary statistics into gene-level association statistics by assigning non-coding SNPs to their putative genes based on tissue-specific eQTL information. We compared eMAGMA to three eQTL informed gene-based approaches—S-PrediXcan, FUSION, and SMR—using simulated phenotype data. Phenotypes were simulated based on eQTL reference data using GCTA for all genes with at least one eQTL at chromosome 1 (651 genes). We performed 10 simulations per gene. The eQTL-h2 (i.e., the proportion of variation explained by the eQTLs was set at 1%, 2%, and 5%. We found eMAGMA outperforms other gene-based approaches across a range of simulated parameters (e.g. the number of identified causal genes). When applied to genome-wide association summary statistics for major depression, eMAGMA identified substantially more putative candidate causal genes compared to other eQTL-based approaches. By integrating tissue-specific eQTL information, these results show eMAGMA will help to identify novel candidate causal genes from genome-wide association summary statistics and thereby improve the understanding of the biological basis of complex disorders.
Competence trust, goodwill trust and negotiation power in auditor-client relationships
Authors: Maresch Daniela , Aschauer Ewald , Fink Matthias 
Published: November 2019

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate how competence trust (i.e. trust regarding the ability of the counterpart) and goodwill trust (i.e. trust regarding the benevolence and integrity of the counterpart) affect the probability that the auditor or the client stand up to the respective negotiation partner’s position in situations of disagreement in the auditing relationship.Design/methodology/approachTwo experiments were conducted, one with 149 auditors and one with 116 chief financial officers (CFOs). Both auditors and CFOs had to indicate the likelihood that they stand up to the other party’s preferred position in a disagreement on the materiality of unrecorded liabilities. The data derived from these experiments were analyzed using hierarchical OLS.FindingsThe results indicate that both auditors and CFOs who take their respective negotiation partner in the audit for highly competent are less likely to stand up to them in situations of disagreement. Interestingly, goodwill trust appears to be irrelevant for the negotiation outcome.Practical implicationsThe findings are highly relevant for regulators, because they inform about the crucial importance of competence trust for the auditing negotiation outcome and thus put the so-called “trust-threat” into perspective.Originality/valueThe study adds to the literature on the role of the context for auditor-client negotiations by exploring the role of two distinct forms of trust on the outcome of these negotiations.
Media, independent non-executive directors and strategy disclosure by non-financial listed firms in the UAE
Authors: Hassan Mostafa Kamal , Lahyani Fathia Elleuch 
Published: November 2019

PurposeThis study aims to investigate the effect of media coverage, negative media tone and the interaction between negative media tone and independent non-executive directors (INEDs) on strategic information disclosure (SD).Design/methodology/approachThe authors rely on media agenda-setting theory, agency theory and a panel data set of 52 UAE non-financial listed firms from 2009 to 2016. Multivariate regressions examine the effect of media coverage and negative media tone on SD and examine the moderation of INEDs on the effect of negative media tone on SD while controlling for firm size, board size, board meeting frequency, firm profitability and leverage.FindingsThe results show that negative media tone has a negative effect on SD, and there is no association between media coverage and SD. The results show that INEDs are negatively associated with SD and have a negative moderating effect on the negative media tone–SD relationship. INEDs follow a conservative approach, encouraging less SD when their firms face negative media tone.Research limitations/implicationsThe authors measured media coverage and negative media tone by the number of news articles. In the robustness test, they use media tone score. They measured SD using an index that captures firm strategy dimensions. Though these measures are inherently subjective, they were used to measure variation in media coverage, media tone and SD across listed UAE non-financial firms. Mitigation of subjectivity was achieved through rigorous cross-checking measurements.Practical implicationsFindings assist UAE policymakers and the international business community with insights related to articulation of media to SD and INEDs’ role in moderating the effect of media on SD.Originality/valueTo the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study that combines media agenda-setting theory with agency theory and SD in an emerging market economy (the UAE). The study is also among the few studies that illustrate the possible role of INEDs under different media tones in emerging markets.
Municipal challenges in managing a building with noted health symptoms
Authors: Uotila Ulrika , Saari Arto , Junnonen Juha-Matti 
Published: November 2019

Purpose
This study aims to present property management challenges that municipalities have encountered regarding a public building with noted building-related symptoms. The study goes on to provide reasons for the failure of attempts to manage the symptoms and discusses the current challenges concerning the process.

Design/methodology/approach
A participatory case study was used as the research methodology to identify the current challenges concerning a municipal approach to managing the building-related symptoms in a case-study building. The researchers scrutinised the history of the health symptom management process and attended the project planning meetings focused on the investigation of the condition of the building.

Findings
Multiple challenges concerning maintenance and omitted or postponed repair actions, as well as vagueness in the management process were found. In addition to this, it was noted that the complexity of the initial design of the building and vandalism have resulted in challenges for the maintenance and moisture performance of the building structures. According to the study, more orderliness and a more systematic process is needed when managing a municipal property.

Practical implications
The identified property management challenges may be of practical value for the facility managers and the property owners, especially when managing the building-related symptoms and a damaged building.

Originality/value
This study highlights the importance of having an in-depth understanding of condition assessments as well as proper maintenance and timely repairs for the successful management of the building-related symptoms in a municipal building. This is a pilot project in a larger project of management of building refurbishment.
Country of manufacture in garment marketability by Japanese and Chinese experts
Authors: Kim KyoungOk , Toyomaru Yuta , Li Hong-Wei , Takatera Masayuki 
Published: November 2019

Purpose
The authors compared garments made in Poland, Japan and China to investigate the effect of country of manufacture (COM) on garment marketability by Japanese and Chinese experts. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the differences between the Japanese and Chinese experts.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors compared ten jackets and ten skirts manufactured by four factories in Poland, Japan and China and one Japanese sample maker using five different textiles. The authors provided the same specifications and sample pattern to each of the garment makers. The garment’s marketability was evaluated by 16 Japanese and 18 Chinese experts using a questionnaire survey, considering garment shape, silhouette, face fabric, sub-materials, anticipated appeal to consumers, sewing and ironing skills, and estimated selling price.

Findings
There were high correlations between the Japanese experts’ estimated selling price and evaluation scores in relation to shape, silhouette and face fabric. There were high correlations between the Chinese experts’ estimated selling price and evaluation scores in relation to all items except for face fabric and buttons. However, there were no significant differences between manufacturing countries. Therefore, the garment quality was not dependent on COM because the manufacturing skills of all selected factories were adequate.

Originality/value
This study experimentally investigated the effect of COM on garment marketability by evaluating garments manufactured in Japan, China and Poland using the same pattern and specification sheet. Moreover, these results show differences between the Japanese and Chinese experts for the COM effect.
An integrated approach for healthcare services risk assessment and quality enhancement
Authors: Pourmadadkar Mahdad , Beheshtinia Mohammad Ali , Ghods Kamran 
Published: November 2019

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to introduce an integrated approach using failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA), multiple-criteria decision making (MCDM), mathematical modeling and quality function deployment (QFD) techniques, for risk assessment and service quality enhancement in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) as a treatment for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs).Design/methodology/approachFirst, the disruptions in the CABG process are identified and prioritized following FMEA instructions, using two MCDM techniques, called analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and TOPSIS. Consequently, several corrective activities are identified and weighted on the basis of QFD. Finally, a mathematical model is established to determine the most cost-effective activities for implementation. The approach is developed in a fuzzy environment to reflect the uncertainty and ambiguity of human reasoning.FindingsRegarding the CABG process disruption, a total of 30 failure modes in four main categories were identified and prioritized. Moreover, eight corrective activities were devised and ranked according to their impact on the failure modes. Finally, considering a limited amount of budget, a sensitivity analysis on the mathematical model’s objective function indicated that using 30 percent of the total budget, required to implement all corrective activities, was enough to cover more than 70 percent of the effects of corrective activities on the failure modes.Originality/valueThis paper contributes to the quality risk assessment knowledge by introducing an integrated approach to evaluate and improve healthcare services quality. Also, the case study conducted on the CABG process has not been done by other related studies in the literature.
Dynamic behaviour of composite panels under acoustic loading
Authors: Běhal Jiří , Zděnek Pavel 
Published: November 2019

Purpose
There are structural elements on the aircraft that may be exposed to high-intensity sound levels. One of them is an air inlet duct of the jet engine. To prepare data for the air duct damage tolerance analysis, flat panels were tested under acoustic loading. The paper aims to discuss this issue.

Design/methodology/approach
The acoustic fatigue test equipment for grazing wave’s incidence was designed based on the FE analyses. Flat composite panels were designed and manufactured using the Hexply 8552/AGP193-PW prepreg with the simulation of production imperfections or operational damage. The dynamic behaviour of panels has been tested using three regimes of acoustic loading: white noise spectrum, engine noise spectrum and discrete harmonic frequencies. The panel deflection was monitored along its longitudinal axis, and the ultrasonic NDT instruments were used for the monitoring of relevant delamination increments. The FE model of the panel was created in Abaqus to study panel dynamic characteristics.

Findings
No delamination progress was observed by NDT testing even if dynamic characteristics, especially modal frequency, of the panel changed during the fatigue test. Rayleigh damping coefficients were evaluated for their use in FE models. Significant differences were found between the measured and computed panel deflection curves near the edge of the panel.

Originality/value
The research results underscored the signification of the FE model boundary conditions and the element type selections when the panel works like a membrane rather than a plate because of their low bending stiffness.
R&D tax incentive scheme and in-house R&D expenditure: evidences from Indian firms
Authors: Jose Manu , Sharma Ruchi , Dhanora Madan 
Published: November 2019

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of research and development (R&D) tax credit scheme on participating firm’s R&D expenditure in Indian manufacturing firms.Design/methodology/approachTobit model is used to estimate the impact of R&D tax credit scheme on R&D expenditure.FindingsThe results suggest that there is a positive and significant effect of R&D tax incentive scheme on R&D. The introduction of the R&D tax credit scheme and the policy amendment are positively influencing R&D investment of the participating firms. However, industry-specific results suggest that these positive results are mainly driven by electronic and pharmaceutical industries. The study reveals that import of technology, import of raw materials, competition, profitability, age and leverage position of the firm also positively influence the R&D intensity of the firm.Research limitations/implicationsThe study is limited to the listed manufacturing firms in India.Practical implicationsThe study evaluates the innovation policy to help the policymakers in designing an effective policy.Originality/valueThe paper provides evidence on the impact of R&D tax incentive scheme on firm innovation to explain the factors that contribute to the R&D expenditure of the participating firms. It also summarises the effectiveness of tax incentive scheme on different industry groups and firm size.
Recovering co-created service failures: the missing link of perceived justice and ethicalness
Authors: Wei Shuqin , Ang Tyson , Anaza Nwamaka A. 
Published: November 2019

PurposeDrawing on the fairness theory, this paper aims to propose a conceptual framework that investigates how co-creation in the failed service delivery (coproduction intensity) and co-creation in the service recovery affect customers’ evaluation of the firm’s competence, justice and ethicalness, and ultimately their willingness to co-create in the future.Design/methodology/approachTax services were chosen as the research context. A consumer panel consisting of individuals who live in the USA and have used tax preparation services within the past year was recruited. The first study explores what happens to customers’ ethical perceptions during a failed co-created service encounter. A secondary study investigates what happens to customers’ ethical perceptions in the event that the failed co-created service is recovered.FindingsThe findings show that customers’ perceptions of the firm’s abilities and ethics are impeded by coproduction intensity but favorably influenced by co-creation of recovery.Practical implicationsA sense of ethicalness and fairness is violated when co-created service failure occurs, but fortunately, practitioners can count on engaging customers in the service recovery process as co-creators of the solution to positively alter perceived ethicalness and fairness.Originality/valueFailed co-created services represent an under-researched area in the marketing literature. Current investigations of co-created service failures have largely approached the notion of fairness from a perceived justice perspective without referencing ethical judgments. However, fairness is grounded in basic ethical assumptions of normative treatment. This research is among the first to highlight the importance of perceived ethicalness in the context of co-created service failure and recovery.
Pilgrimage tourism-past, present and future rejuvenation: a perspective article
Authors: Collins-Kreiner Noga 
Published: November 2019

Purpose
This paper aims to analyse the development of the pilgrimage phenomenon over the past few decades. Pilgrimage was the first tourism mobility to come into existence thousands of years ago. In recent decades, its significance has decreased, as other tourism segments have gained prominence. Although modern tourism is regarded as a relatively new phenomenon, its origins are clearly rooted in the age-old practice of pilgrimage. Indeed, the development of tourism is difficult to understand without a thorough comprehension of the practice of pilgrimage in ancient times.

Design/methodology/approach
This paper analyses the development of the pilgrimage phenomenon over the past few decades. The phenomenon of Pilgrimage Tourism and the nexus between the two mobilities has been experiencing tremendous changes over the past few decades and is still in the midst of an on-going process of transformation.

Findings
This paper concludes with the prediction that pilgrimage will re-emerge when the many similar segments – particularly, spiritual tourism, heritage tourism, religious tourism, dark tourism and secular pilgrimage – are re-identified as pilgrimage: a mobility for the search for meaning that contains an element of transformation that is often deep and enduring (as they were viewed at the dawn of humanity and for thousands of years).

Originality/value
This review has examined the development of pilgrimage tourism as a research topic, highlighting the importance of re-examining our contemporary usage of terms in order to allow for broader interpretations of different phenomena in the field of tourism. These conclusions are consistent with the current calls for a fundamental rethinking of the paradigms and the norms shaping scholarship on pilgrimage, dark tourism and tourism as a whole from a post-disciplinary perspective based on synthesis and synergy.
