Published: October 2020

Purpose
This study aims to analyze and predict a user’s behavior and create recommender systems in libraries and information centers, using data mining techniques.

Design/methodology/approach
The present study is an analytical survey study of cross-sectional type. The required data for this study were collected from the transactions of the users of libraries and information centers in Hamadan University of Medical Sciences. Using data mining techniques, the existing patterns were investigated, and users’ loan transactions were analyzed.

Findings
The findings showed that the association rules with the degree of confidence above 0.50 were able to determine user access patterns. Furthermore, among the decision tree algorithms, the C.05 predicted the loan period, referrals and users’ delay with the highest accuracy (i.e. 90.1). The other findings on feedforward neural network with R = 0.99 showed that the predicted results of neural network computation were very close to the real situation and had a proper estimation of user’s delay prediction. Finally, the clustering technique with the k-means algorithm predicted users’ behavior model regarding their loyalty.

Practical implications
The results of this study can lead to providing effective services and improve the quality of interaction between librarians and users and provide a good opportunity for managers to align supply of information resources with the real needs of users.

Originality/value
The results of the study showed that various data mining techniques are applicable with high efficiency and accuracy in analyzing library and information centers data and can be used to predict a user’s behavior and create recommendation systems.

Published: October 2020

PurposeThe change rules of the shielding effectiveness (SE) of the sleeve has not been clarified, which leads to the lack of the basis for the design, manufacture and evaluation of the electromagnetic shielding (EMS) clothing.Design/methodology/approachAccording to a simplified analysis model, a series of sleeve samples with different fabrics and styles are designed and manufactured. The SE of the sleeve is tested with the proposed special test method in a semi-anechoic chamber to analyze the influence of different factors on the SE of the sleeve.FindingsThe SE is greatly reduced about 60–90% after the fabric is manufactured into the sleeve. The larger the sleeve length is, the higher the peak value of the SE is. When the sleeve length is low, the SE value is easy to appear negative. As the cuff circumference increases, the SE of the sleeve will change with the frequency band. The influence of the cuff style on the SE of the sleeve mainly depends on the cuff width and style. The larger the cuff width is, the lower the overall SE of the sleeve is. The more wrinkles there are at the cuff, the better the SE of the sleeve is.Originality/valueOur results provide a reference for the design, production and evaluation of the sleeve and the whole EMS clothing.
Supervisor narcissistic rage: political support as an antidote
Authors: Jordan Samantha , Hochwarter Wayne , Palmer Joshua , Daniels Shanna , Ferris Gerald R. 
Published: October 2020

PurposeThis research examines how perceived supervisor political support (SPS) moderates the relationship between perceived supervisor narcissistic rage (SNR) and relevant employee work outcomes.Design/methodology/approachAcross three studies (Study 1: 604 student-recruited working adults; Study 2: 156 practicing lawyers: Study 3: 161 municipality employees), employees provided ratings for SPS, SNR and ratings of their job satisfaction, organizational citizenship behavior (OCB), depressed work mood and work neglect.FindingsResults supported the authors’ argument that SPS moderates the relationship between SNR and work outcomes. Specifically, SNR was associated with unfavorable outcomes only when SPS was low. When SPS was high, SNR had little effect on job satisfaction, OCBs, depressed mood and neglect.Research limitations/implicationsResults affirm that supervisor characteristics considered toxic do not always provoke adverse reactions when considering other leader features simultaneously.Practical implicationsSupervisors capable of offering political support can positively influence subordinate attitudes, behaviors and well-being even when other aspects of their personality potentially initiate antagonism.Originality/valueThis study is the first to examine SNR features and informal support activities concurrently.

PurposeCustomer education is considered as an appropriate communication strategy for promoting green products. This paper aims to elaborate on the characteristics of customer education that are suitable for green products by identifying what messages must be delivered, sources and channels that must be used to achieve the greatest effect. Moreover, this study uses a repeated cross-sectional approach by using the same research model in 2008 and 2019.Design/methodology/approachA questionnaire was arranged based on the research model. In 2008, the data were collected at 12 shopping malls in Jakarta. The 2019 data were collected online, using Google forms, from citizens of Jakarta and five nearby cities. Then, the data were processed using structural equation modeling.FindingsData analysis of both years shows that education containing messages that are both informational and transformational can increase customers’ perceptions of the benefits and economic accessibility of green products, as well as environmental concerns. This study’s results also indicate that customers’ intentions to buy green products are influenced by their attitudes toward buying. However, the impact of customers’ perceptions of benefit and economic accessibility on their attitudes toward green purchasing varied between 2008 and 2019.Practical implicationsSustainable consumption can be pursued through customer education once a community’s economic conditions have reached a certain level. This study shows how changes have unfolded in Indonesia in several areas, therefore it should also be necessary to pursue green behavior via policies that are tailored to changes in the community.Social implicationsThis study shows how changes have unfolded in Indonesia in several areas, therefore it should also be necessary to pursue green behavior via policies that are tailored to changes in the community.Originality/valueInvestigation of the role of customer education in green products using a repeated cross-sectional study.

Authors: Khan Samar Hayat , Majid Abdul , Yasir Muhammad 
Published: October 2020

PurposeThis research was carried out with the purpose to empirically test the model to explain the procedures concerned with the translation of social capital (SC) into strategic renewal (SR) of SMEs in developing economy like Pakistan. This procedure involves the mediating role of firms' strategic agility (SA) as well as the contingent effects of firms' absorptive capacity (AC).Design/methodology/approachThis study employed a cross-sectional design to evaluate the hypothesized model. To validate the moderated mediation model, data was collected from 519 CEOs, owners, finance managers and managing directors of 123 manufacturing units dealing in agricultural machinery (32 units), automobile accessories (16 units), pharmaceutical instrument (11 units), electrical equipment (25 units), IT related accessories (21 units) and garments (18 units).FindingsThe findings of the study confirm a positive association between SC on SR. Moreover, results also validate the mediating role of SA in the relationship between SC and SR. In addition, the moderating role of AC is also confirmed and presented this construct as a catalyst in the relationship between SC and SR.Practical implicationsThis research provides new endeavors for strategic management and strategic entrepreneurship literature by focusing on distinctive resources such as SC with its different facets. Therefore, it provides a new dimension and a roadmap that will be beneficial to the achievement of the objectives of SR.Originality/valueThe findings of this research have contributed to the streams of strategic management perspective by emphasizing upon the mediating mechanism how SC can be transformed into SR of SMEs through SA. Findings of the research also contribute to understand the moderating role of AC, and how its association with SC and SA augments the effects on SR of firms.
Inter‐group relationships influence territorial defence in mountain gorillas

Abstract

Many species show territoriality, in which territory owners have exclusive or priority use of a region. In humans, tolerance of others within our space also depends greatly on our social relationships with them. This has been hypothesized as one potential driver of the evolution of long‐term, inter‐group relationships, through enabling shared access of resources and easing disputes over space.

However, extremely little is known about the importance of social relationships between neighbouring groups in non‐humans for how space is used and shared.

Using 16 years of data on the simultaneous movement and interaction patterns of 17 mountain gorilla groups, we investigated how the occurrence of aggressive and affiliative behaviour during inter‐group encounters was influenced by both their social and spatial context.

We found evidence of territorial defence, with rates of aggression increasing towards the centre of home ranges. Groups which had previously split from each other showed higher levels of affiliation during encounters with each other and experienced lower levels of aggression when within the other's peripheral home range. However, encounters within core areas of the home range consistently elicited higher aggression, regardless of the groups' history. Our findings indicate that not only are the social relationships between groups retained after they split from one another but also that these relationships enable groups to access certain areas with a reduced risk of aggression.

This suggests that reduced aggression when accessing areas within neighbours' home ranges may be an advantage for the maintenance of inter‐group relationships and a potential driver in the evolution of long‐term, post‐dispersal relationships and complex multi‐level societies.
What's in a Gland? Sexuality, Reproduction and the Prostate in Early Twentieth‐Century Medicine
Authors: Björkman Maria , Persson Alma 
Published: October 2020

AbstractThis article presents a case study about how norms relating to masculinity, sexuality and reproduction were produced in relation to the healthy, ailing, or aging prostate in early twentieth century medicine. It shows how the ailing prostate tied in with norms about healthy, abnormal or illicit sexual and reproductive practices. Engaging with insights from the history of medicine, feminist science studies, and men and masculinity studies, it highlights how the prostate became a diagnostic catch‐all for a wide range of physical and mental conditions, producing demarcations between femininity and masculinity, manliness and unmanliness, health and illness, and moral and vice.

BackgroundThe role of adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) for patients with stage IB–IIA non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) according to the eighth edition of the AJCC TNM staging system remains controversial.MethodsData were collected from patients with NSCLC stage IB–IIA according to the eighth edition of the AJCC TNM staging system who underwent surgical resection from 2008 to 2015. The relationship between ACT and overall survival (OS) or disease‐free survival (DFS) was analyzed using the Kaplan–Meier method and Cox proportional hazards model.ResultsThe study included 648 patients with completely resected NSCLC stage IB–IIA; 312 underwent ACT after surgical resection and 336 were placed under observation. After propensity score matching, 247 pairs of patients were matched and the five‐year OS was 88.08% and 83.12% (P = 0.13) in ACT and non‐ACT settings, respectively. Subgroup analyses demonstrated that ACT treatment was correlated with an improved five‐year OS in patients with visceral pleural invasion (VPI) in the 3 < tumor ≤ 4 cm subgroup (93.98% and 68.93%, P < 0.01).ConclusionsACT was not significantly associated with improved five‐year OS in stage IB–IIA NSCLC patients. However, further subgroup analysis showed that patients with VPI in the 3 < tumor ≤ 4 cm (T2aN0M0, stage IB) subgroup might benefit more from ACT. Further studies are required to validate the findings and better systemic strategies need to be developed in these patients.Key pointsSignificant findings of the study
For patients with stage IB–IIA NSCLC according to the eighth edition of the AJCC TNM staging system, the effect of ACT remains unclear.
ACT was not significantly associated with improved five‐year OS in stage IB–IIA NSCLC patients. However, it was correlated with better DFS before or after PSM.
Patients with VPI in the 3 < tumor ≤ 4 cm subgroup may benefit from ACT.
What this study adds
ACT was not significantly associated with improved five‐year OS in stage IB–IIA NSCLC patients. However, it was correlated with better DFS before or after PSM.
Patients with VPI in the 3 < tumor ≤ 4 cm subgroup may benefit from ACT.

Circulating biological markers, such as miRNAs, hold the greatest possibilities to complement tissue biopsy and clinical diagnostic tests. The objective of this study was to evaluate the relative abundance of three circulating miRNAs in serum from 17 HPV16‐positive patients with early cervical lesions known as Low‐Grade Squamous Intraepithelial Lesions (LSILs). The expression of circulating microRNAs miR‐15b, miR‐34a and miR‐218 in patients with LSILs was compared to 23 HPV‐negative individuals showing normal cervical epithelium (healthy women) and 23 Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) samples. The expression levels of miR‐15b remained unchanged while those of miRNAs 34a and 218 were relatively high in serum obtained from LSIL patients in comparison with healthy women (results were statistically significant with a p of < 0.01 or < 0.001). According to previous findings, miR‐15b was overexpressed and miRNAs 34a and 218 were underexpressed in serum from SCC patients. Additionally, the mRNA expression levels of some selected gene targets were determined [Cyclin D1 (CCND1), Cyclin E1 (CCNE1), B‐cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl‐2) and MutS homolog 2 (MSH‐2)]. All serum results correlated with tissue samples from the same patients. We propose that circulating microRNAs can be valuable as molecular markers for the early follow‐up of cervical carcinogenesis risk.
Do preparatory behaviours predict alcohol consumption among UK university students?
Authors: Cooke Richard , Bailey Olivia , Jennings Janine , Yuen Chun , Gardner Benjamin 
Published: October 2020

ObjectiveThis study explored whether the frequency and habitual nature of engagement in three behaviours that may serve as preparation for alcohol consumption on a night out with friends – that is, contacting friends to arrange a night out, buying alcohol, drinking alone at home before going out – predicted consumption on such nights.DesignProspective correlational design.MethodsOne hundred and twenty UK university students (68 female, 50 male, two non‐binary, mean age = 20.78 years, SD = 1.52) completed a survey comprising intentions, habits, and frequency and habit for the three preparatory behaviours. One week later, a second survey measured the number of nights out with friends on which alcohol was drunk (i.e., drinking frequency) and the number on which four or more alcoholic drinks were consumed (i.e, excessive drinking). Regression models were run to predict drinking frequency and excessive drinking.ResultsDrinking frequency was predicted only by frequency of contacting friends (B = .28, SE = .12, p = .02), and habitually drinking alone before going out (B = .20, SE = .09, p = .03). Excessive drinking was only predicted by alcohol consumption habit (B = .67, SE = .23, p = .003).ConclusionsPreceding actions may influence the frequency of alcohol consumption on nights out, independently of intentions and habits relating to alcohol consumption. While interventions to reduce consumption quantity in a single session might focus on disrupting the habits that sustain drinking episodes, efforts to reduce alcohol consumption frequency on nights out might focus on disrupting behaviours that precede alcohol consumption.

Published: October 2020

ZusammenfassungDie atopische Dermatitis ist eine der häufigsten chronisch entzündlichen Hauterkrankungen. Die Pathomechanismen der atopischen Dermatitis wurden in den letzten Jahren immer besser verstanden. Dies kann zukünftig dazu beitragen, verschiedene Endotypen zu identifizieren, die für bestimmte Therapien bevorzugt geeignet sind. Eine patientenadaptierte Therapie berücksichtigt neben dem phänotypischen Erscheinungsbild genetische und biologische Merkmale. Die aktuelle Entwicklung von Biologika und kleinmolekularen Medikamenten zur Behandlung der atopischen Dermatitis wird im vorliegenden Artikel vorgestellt. Diese Moleküle werden, wenn sie zugelassen werden, die Therapieperspektiven in der Zukunft verändern.Dupilumab ist als erstes Biologikum bereits zur Behandlung der atopischen Dermatitis bei Jugendlichen und Erwachsenen zugelassen und hat die Behandlung von Patienten mit mittelschwerer und schwerer atopischer Dermatitis verbessert. In der vorliegenden Arbeit werden eigene Real‐Life‐Daten zur Wirksamkeit von Dupilumab bei der atopischen Dermatitis vorgestellt. Darüber hinaus werden weitere relevante Daten gezeigt, die in der praktischen Anwendung von Dupilumab eine Rolle spielen, und offene Fragen werden diskutiert.

Published: October 2020

ZusammenfassungHintergrundDepressionen werden bei Psoriasis‐Patienten häufig nicht diagnostiziert und in ihrem Alltag unzureichend behandelt. Ziel dieser Studie war es, den Einfluss von Patienten‐ und Krankheitscharakteristika auf Depressionswerte zu untersuchen und zu analysieren.Patienten und MethodenIn dieser multizentrischen Querschnitts‐ und Kohortenstudie wurden erwachsene Psoriasis‐Patienten mit zwei validierten Verfahren auf Depression untersucht: den Whooley‐Fragen und dem revidierten Beck‐Depressions‐Inventar (BDI‐II).ErgebnisseInsgesamt wurden 538 Patienten (medianer PASI 3,0; durchschnittlicher DLQI 5,3) auf Depressionssymptome untersucht (durchschnittlicher BDI‐II‐Wert 8,3). 24,2 % aller Patienten erreichten einen BDI‐II‐Wert ≥ 13, der auf eine zumindest leichte Depression hinweist. Die Ergebnisse der Whooley‐Fragen waren bei 28,2 % der Patienten positiv. Es zeigte sich eine starke Korrelation zwischen den beiden Verfahren (p < 0,001). In der Teilgruppe mit einem BDI‐II‐Wert ≥ 13 waren die Krankheitsaktivität (medianer PASI 3,8 vs. 2,8; p = 0,06) und die DLQI‐Werte (Mittelwert 10,1 vs. 3,7; p < 0,0001) höher sowie Psoriasis‐Arthritis und Diabetes häufiger (52,6 % vs. 37,8 %; p = 0,002 beziehungsweise 16,2 % vs. 10,0 %; p = 0,04) als in der Teilgruppe mit einem BDI‐II‐Wert < 13.SchlussfolgerungenIn spezialisierten Psoriasis‐Ambulanzen wurde trotz eines niedrigen medianen PASI bei fast jedem vierten Patienten ein BDI‐II‐Wert ≥ 13 festgestellt. Die Whooley‐Fragen könnten ein leicht anzuwendendes Verfahren für das Screening auf Depression bei Psoriasis‐Patienten darstellen.
The virtue of error: Solved games and ethical deliberation
Authors: McNeill David N. 
Published: October 2020

AbstractIn this paper, I argue that genuine ethical deliberation, and hence ethical agency, is incompatible in principle with the possession of determinate practical prescriptions concerning how best to act in a concrete ethical situation. I make this argument principally by way of an analogy between gameplay and ethical deliberation. I argue that trivially solved games of perfect information (the example I use is tic‐tac‐toe) are, or become, in some sense unplayable for the individual for whom the game is trivially solved. The reason for this, I suggest, is that there ceases to be space within the game for the distinction between that individual being a better and being a worse player of the game. I then use this example as an occasion to reflect on the kind of epistemic indeterminacy that appears to be a condition of genuine ethical deliberation.
