Teacher vs student responsibility for course outcomes
Authors: Williams Robert , Wallace Monica 
Published: December 2019

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is primarily to identify factors that accounted for the differences in course evaluation and course performance in two sections of the same course taught by the same instructor. Potential contributors to these differences included critical thinking, grade point average (GPA) and homework time in the course. Secondarily, the authors also examined whether season of the year and academic status of students (1st year through 3rd year) might have contributed to differences in course ratings and exam performance. The data in the study included some strictly quantitative variables and some qualitative judgments subsequently converted to quantitative measures.Design/methodology/approachThe outcome variables included student objective exam scores and course ratings on the University’s eight-item rating form. Variables that may have contributed to performance and course evaluation differences between the two groups included student effort in the course, GPA and critical thinking.FindingsThe higher-performing section obtained significantly higher scores on course exams than the lower-preforming group and also rated the course significantly higher (average of 4.15 across the evaluation items) than the lower performing section (3.64 average in item ratings). The two performance groups did not differ on critical thinking and GPA, but did differ significantly in hours spent per week outside of class in studying for the course.Originality/valueAlthough many studies have examined the predictive validity of course ratings, instructors are typically held responsible for both high and low student ratings. This particular action study suggests that it may be student effort rather than instructor behavior that has the stronger impact on both student performance and course evaluations.
Modelling adaptive information security for SMEs in a cluster
Authors: Yigit Ozkan Bilge , Spruit Marco , Wondolleck Roland , Burriel Coll Verónica 
Published: December 2019

Purpose
This paper presents a method for adapting an Information Security Focus Area Maturity (ISFAM) model to the organizational characteristics (OCs) of a small- and medium-sized enterprise (SME) cluster. The purpose of this paper is to provide SMEs with a tailored maturity model enabling them to capture and improve their information security capabilities.

Design/methodology/approach
Design Science Research was followed to design and evaluate the method as a design artifact.

Findings
The method has successfully been used to adapt the ISFAM model to a group of SMEs within a regional cluster resulting in a model that is aligned with the OCs of the cluster. Areas for further investigation and improvements were identified.

Research limitations/implications
The study is based on applying the proposed method for the SMEs active in the transport, logistics and packaging sector in the Port of Rotterdam. Future research can focus on different sectors and regions. The method can be used for adapting other focus area maturity models.

Practical implications
The resulting adapted maturity model can facilitate the creation and further development of a base of common or shared knowledge in the cluster. The adapted maturity model can cut the cost of over implementation of information security capabilities for the SMEs with scarce resources.

Originality/value
The resulting adapted maturity model can facilitate the creation and further development of a base of common or shared knowledge in the cluster. The adapted maturity model can cut the cost of over implementation of information security capabilities for the SMEs with scarce resources.
Multi-factor asset pricing models in emerging and developed markets
Authors: Lalwani Vaibhav , Chakraborty Madhumita 
Published: December 2019

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to compare the performance of various multifactor asset pricing models across ten emerging and developed markets.Design/methodology/approachThe general methodology to test asset pricing models involves regressing test asset returns (left-hand side assets) on pricing factors (right-hand side assets). Then the performance of different models is evaluated based on how well they price multiple test assets together. The parameters used to compare relative performance of different models are their pricing errors (GRS statistic and average absolute intercepts) and explained variation (average adjustedR2).FindingsThe Fama-French five-factor model improves the pricing performance for stocks in Australia, Canada, China and the USA. The pricing in these countries appears to be more integrated. However, the superior performance in these four countries is not consistent across a variety of test assets and the magnitude of reduction in pricing errorsvis-à-visthree- or four-factor models is often economically insignificant. For other markets, the parsimonious three-factor model or its four-factor variants appear to be more suitable.Originality/valueUnlike most asset pricing studies that use test assets based on variables that are already used to construct RHS factors, this study uses test assets that are generally different from RHS sorts. This makes the tests more robust and less biased to be in favour of any multifactor model. Also, most international studies of asset pricing tests use data for different markets and combine them into regions. This study provides the evidence from ten countries separately because prior research has shown that locally constructed factors are more suitable to explain asset prices. Further, this study also tests for the usefulness of adding a quality factor in the existing asset pricing models.
The impact of personality in recognizing disinformation
Authors: Wolverton Colleen , Stevens David 
Published: December 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to investigate and quantify the effects of personality traits, as defined by the five-factor model (FFM) on an individual’s ability to detect fake news. The findings of this study are increasingly important because of the proliferation of social media news stories and the exposure of organizational stakeholders and business decision makers to a tremendous amount of information, including information that is not correct (a.k.a. disinformation).

Design/methodology/approach
The data were collected utilizing the snowball sampling methodology. Students in an Management Information Systems course completed the survey. Since a diverse sample was sought, survey participants were instructed to recruit another individual from a different generation. The survey questions of the FFM identify particular personality traits in respondents. Survey respondents were given a collection of nine news stories, five of which were false and four that were true. The number of correctly identified stories was recorded, and the effect of personality traits on the ability of survey respondents to identify fake news was calculated using eta-squared and the effect size index.

Findings
Each of the five factors in the FFM demonstrated an effect on an individual’s ability to detect disinformation. In fact, every single variable studied had at least a small effect size index, with one exception: gender, which had basically no effect. Therefore, each variable studied (with the exception of gender) explained a portion of the variability in the number of correctly identified false news stories. Specifically, this quantitative research demonstrates that individuals with the following personality traits are better able to identify disinformation: closed to experience or cautious, introverted, disagreeable or unsympathetic, unconscientious or undirected and emotionally stable.

Originality/value
There is scant research on an individual’s ability to detect false news stories, although some research has been conducted on the ability to detect phishing (a type of social engineering attack to obtain funds or personal information from the person being deceived). The results of this study enable corporations to determine which of their customers, investors and other stakeholders are most likely to be deceived by disinformation. With this information, they can better prepare for and combat the impacts of misinformation on their organization, and thereby avoid the negative financial impacts that result.
Oral roxadustat three times weekly in ESA‐naïve and ESA‐converted patients with anemia of chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis: Results from two phase 3 studies
Authors: Akizawa Tadao , Ueno Mai , Shiga Takanori , Reusch Michael 
Published: December 2019

AbstractRoxadustat is a hypoxia‐inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase inhibitor approved in China for anemia of dialysis‐dependent chronic kidney disease (CKD). Japanese hemodialysis patients with anemia of CKD previously naïve to, or converted from, erythropoiesis‐stimulating agents (ESAs) were enrolled in two open‐label, noncomparative studies of titrated oral roxadustat administered three times weekly. ESA‐naïve patients (n = 75) were randomized to roxadustat (initial dose, 50 or 70 mg) for 24 weeks; ESA‐converted patients (n = 164) were assigned to roxadustat (initial dose, 70 or 100 mg based on prior ESA dose) for 52 weeks. Efficacy outcomes included average hemoglobin (Hb, weeks 18‐24 or 46‐52), change of Hb from baseline to weeks 18 to 24 (ΔHb18‐24) or weeks 46 to 52 (ΔHb46‐52), and maintenance rate (proportion of patients who achieved average Hb of 10.0‐12.0 g/dL for weeks 18‐24 or weeks 46‐52). Treatment‐emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were monitored. Mean (SD) Hb was 10.93 (0.79) g/dL (weeks 18‐24) (ESA‐Naïve Study), and 10.93 (0.69; weeks 18‐24) g/dL and 11.11 (0.67; weeks 46‐52) g/dL (ESA‐Converted Study). Mean (SD) ΔHb18‐24 was 2.26 (1.02) g/dL (ESA‐Naïve Study) and −0.03 (0.90) g/dL (ESA‐Converted Study); mean (SD) ΔHb46‐52 was 0.12 (0.83) g/dL (ESA‐Converted Study). The overall maintenance rate was 73.0% (54/74) (ESA‐Naïve Study) (weeks 18‐24), and 79.1% (129/163; weeks 18‐24) and 71.2% (116/163; weeks 46‐52) (ESA‐Converted Study). Nasopharyngitis was the most common TEAE. Two deaths, considered unrelated to roxadustat, occurred in the ESA‐Converted Study. Roxadustat effectively corrected and maintained Hb, regardless of previous ESA treatment, in Japanese anemic CKD patients on hemodialysis.
Does it matter if those who matter don't mind? Effects of gang versus delinquent peer group membership on labeling processes
Authors: Buchanan Molly , Krohn Marvin D. 
Published: December 2019

AbstractDespite renewed interests in the labeling perspective and the impact of official intervention on individuals’ future outcomes, scant attention has been given to potential conditioning factors for theorized labeling processes. We argue that, when viewed through a symbolic interactionist lens, variations in the nature of primary social groups, through which individuals filter official labels like arrest, may generate patterns for subsequent self‐concept and delinquency that are contrary to what labeling theory indicates. To test our rationale, we offer a moderated mediation model in which gang membership is expected to differentially impact the effect of arrest on future delinquency through an intermediary mechanism: self‐esteem. We test a gang–nongang dichotomy and then probe further to test whether hypothesized effects are gang specific or occur similarly for nongang youths with highly delinquent peer groups. Analyzed using Rochester Youth Development Study (RYDS) data (N = 961), comparisons between gang members and nonaffiliated youths with similarly highly delinquent peer groups revealed no significant differences in conditional indirect effects of arrest on self‐esteem and future delinquency; the two groups were similarly insulated from any negative impact of arrest on self‐esteem. For nongang youths with fewer delinquent peers, however, arrest significantly reduced later self‐esteem, which in turn increased their future delinquency.

Anthropology and the Riddle of White Supremacy
Authors: Rana Junaid 
Published: December 2019

ABSTRACTThis article considers how anthropology can grapple with white supremacy by conceptualizing it as global and in relation to religion. Drawing on the exchange published as A Rap on Race between anthropologist Margaret Mead and the writer James Baldwin, I address the connection of religion and moral belief to racism, white supremacy, and the critique of racial liberalism. In their conversation, Mead and Baldwin discuss Christianity and white supremacy revealing a complex conjuring of Islam and Muslims that I describe as racecraft. The racialization of religion and the theological components of white supremacy have a particular relevance to the construction of anti‐Muslim racism. To describe how ethnography and anthropological theory can intervene, I offer an example of the study of white supremacy and discuss the implications.

The contribution of financial well‐being, social support, and trait emotional intelligence on psychological distress
Authors: Espinosa Adriana , Rudenstine Sasha 
Published: December 2019

ObjectivesWhile financial deprivation, social isolation, and low emotional intelligence (EI) have been separately identified as important predictors of mental illness, no research has assessed the contribution of these factors together in understanding early markers of severe psychological distress. This information can have key implications for the development of comprehensive interventions and psychological treatment programmes. This study investigated the shared and unique contribution of financial well‐being, social support, and trait EI on different types of psychological distress.DesignA total of 309 patients seeking psychological treatment at an outpatient mental health clinic in the United States provided consent to participate in this study. Patients responded to online questionnaires corresponding to symptomatology, demographic characteristics, and psychometric assessments.MethodsHierarchical linear regressions identified the common and unique role of each set of variables in predicting nine different symptom clusters of psychological distress.ResultsFinancial well‐being, social support, and trait EI were negatively related to the majority of symptom clusters, together explaining between 20% and 53% of the variance. Whereas financial well‐being and social support uniquely captured a significant amount of the variance in all outcomes, trait EI, most notably the well‐being and self‐control dimensions, captured the most.ConclusionsThe results highlight the importance of all factors in understanding variations in mental health among help‐seeking urban individuals. Furthermore, the results identify well‐being and self‐control as emotional facets to consider in therapeutic programmes in as much as to mitigate the risk of severe psychological distress within this population.Practitioner points

Together, financial well‐being, social support, and trait emotional intelligence (EI) can help prevent psychological distress in help‐seeking urban individuals.

Perceived social support and social contact differentially contributed to improved symptoms of psychological distress.

Studies should examine the impact of targeting well‐being and self‐control in psychological treatment.

The correlational nature of this study highlights the need to replicate findings via experimental or longitudinal designs.
The need for novel trial designs, master protocols, and research consortia in transplantation
Authors: Stegall Mark D. , Smith Byron , Bentall Andrew , Schinstock Carrie 
Published: December 2019

AbstractLarge multicenter, randomized controlled trials are the paradigm for determining the efficacy and safety of new therapies. However, applying this classical approach to many areas of transplantation is difficult. For most types of organ transplants, the number of transplants performed is too small for such a trial (lung, pancreas, or vascular composite transplantation are examples). In larger populations such as kidney transplantation, the major unmet needs commonly involve small subsets of patients (antibody‐mediated rejection, recurrent renal disease, etc). This issue is not unique to transplantation and has been successfully overcome in other areas of medicine. In oncology, for example, novel trial designs such as adaptive trial design and master protocols are now relatively common. In addition, the existence of multicenter, ongoing clinical research consortia have greatly enhanced the successful implementation of these novel trial designs. In this manuscript, we examine how novel trial designs, master protocols, and research consortia might enhance studies in transplantation aimed at the regulatory approval of new agents. Our premise is that more efficient approaches to clinical trials already exist and, through a coordinated effort by researchers, the pharmaceutical industry, and regulatory bodies like the FDA, they can be implemented in transplantation.

AbstractAimTo disentangle the influence of environmental factors at different spatial grains (regional and local) on fern and lycophyte species richness and to ask how regional and plot‐level richness are related to each other.LocationGlobal.TaxonFerns and lycophytes.MethodsWe explored fern and lycophyte species richness at two spatial grains, regional (hexagonal grid cells of 7,666 km2) and plot level (300–500 m2), in relation to environmental data at regional and local grains (the 7,666 km2hexagonal grid cells and 4 km2square grid cells, respectively). For the regional grain, we obtained species richness data for 1,243 spatial units and used them together with climatic and topographical predictors to model global fern richness. For the plot‐level grain, we collated a global dataset of nearly 83,000 vegetation plots with a surface area in the range 300–500 m2in which all fern and lycophyte species had been counted. We used structural equation modelling to identify which regional and local factors have the biggest effect on plot‐level fern and lycophyte species richness worldwide. We investigate how plot‐level richness is related to modelled regional richness at the plot's location.ResultsPlot‐level fern and lycophyte species richness were best explained by models allowing a link between regional environment and plot‐level richness. A link between regional richness and plot‐level richness was essential, as models without it were rejected, while models without the regional environment‐plot‐level richness link were still valid but had a worse goodness‐of‐fit value. Plot‐level richness showed a hump‐shaped relationship with regional richness.Main conclusionsRegional environment and regional fern and lycophyte species richness each are important determinants of plot‐level richness, and the inclusion of one does not substitute the inclusion of the other. Plot‐level richness increases with regional richness until a saturation point is reached, after which plot‐level richness decreases despite increasing regional richness, possibly reflecting species interactions.

AbstractBlood pressure variability (BPV) has been shown to be independently associated with cardiovascular (CV) mortality and morbidity. Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have also been shown to have increased BPV. We aimed to compare BPV in hypertensive patients with diabetes with those without diabetes. A total of 1443 hypertensive patients measured their blood pressure (BP) twice in the morning and twice before bed at home for a week. Demographic data, history of T2DM, and anti‐hypertensive use were captured. Clinic BP was measured twice in the clinic. Control of BP was defined as clinic systolic BP (SBP) <140 mm Hg and home SBP < 135 mm Hg. BPV was based on home SBP measurements. A total of 362(25.1%) hypertensives had diabetes and 47.4% were male. Mean age was 62.3 ± 12.1 years. There was no difference in the mean clinic SBP in both groups (139.9 mm Hg vs 138.4 mm Hg P = .188). However, the mean morning home SBP was significantly higher and control rate lower in hypertensives with diabetes than those without (132.3 ± 15 mm Hg vs 129.7 ± 14.4 mm Hg P = .005, 39.4% vs 47.6% P = .007), respectively. Masked uncontrolled morning hypertension was higher in those with diabetes versus those without (12.8% vs 8.4%, respectively). There was no statistically significant difference in BPV between those with and without diabetes. In summary, clinic SBP was similar in hypertensives with or without diabetes. However, control of BP based on both clinic and home SBP thresholds was poorer in hypertensives with diabetes compared to those without. Masked uncontrolled morning hypertension was higher in those with diabetes than those without. There was no difference in BPV between the two groups.
