Retrospect and prospect: development of China’s economics in the past 70 years
Authors: Shi Jinchuan , Jianliang Ye 
Published: December 2019

Purpose
In the past 70 years since the founding of the People’s Republic of China, China’s economic studies have been constantly centered on major issues such as national modernization, social economic development and the establishment, reform and improvement of socialist economic system. The paper aims to discuss this issue.

Design/methodology/approach
It has experienced a process of transition from the establishment of traditional Soviet’s paradigm of political economics to that of modern economics, during which drastic changes have been observed in various aspects of China’s economics, including research content, scope and methods.

Findings
Based on that, a discipline system of economics in line with international economics has been initially established. Currently, under the guidance of Marxism, scholars in China’s economics actively draw on the beneficial knowledge system and analytical methods from modern economics, emancipate their minds, seek truth from facts and constantly fortify confidence in the socialist path, theory, system and culture, continuously enhance the discourse power of China’s economics in global economic governance system, so as to push forward to the building of a theoretical system of socialist economics with Chinese Characteristics in the new era.

Originality/value
Economics is a discipline that studies resource allocation and human’s behavior of making a choice based on rationality. Emerged in the industrial revolution and developed in the exploration of a large-scale socialized mode of production and resource allocation system, this discipline has gradually become a broadly explanatory force in social sciences which profoundly affects the economic decision-making behaviors of the government and various economic entities.

Authors: Wu Huawei , Torkian Peyman , Zarei Amir , Moradi Iman , Karimipour Arash , Afrand Masoud 
Published: December 2019

Purpose
This paper aims to investigate atoms type and channel roughness effects on fluid behavior in nanochannel.

Design/methodology/approach
The results of mechanical properties of these structures are reported in this work by using molecular dynamics method.

Findings
The results show that nanochannel roughness is a limiting factor in flowing fluid in nanochannel. Moreover, fluids with less atomic weight have more free movement in ideal and non-ideal nanochannels.

Originality/value
For the study of mechanical properties of fluid/nanochannel system, the authors calculated parameters such as potential energy, density, temperature and velocity profiles of simulated fluids.
Modelling P2P Airbnb online host advertising effectiveness: the role of emotional appeal information completeness creativity and social responsibility
Authors: Wisker Zazli Lily , Kadirov Djavlonbek , Bone Catherine 
Published: December 2019

Purpose
This study aims to examine the factors that influence peer-to-peer online host advertising effectiveness (POHAE). The study posits that POHAE is a multidimensional construct supported by emotional appeal, information completeness, advertising creativity and social responsibility practices influencing purchase intention and positive word of mouth. Perceived value is hypothesised as the moderating variable for the relationship between POHAE and purchase intention.

Design/methodology/approach
Quantitative data were collected from New Zealand through a quasi-experimental survey. A total of 95 people participated in the experiment. The study uses one-way repeated measures design ANOVA to test Hypothesis 1 and MEMORE model to test the effects of mediation and moderation for repeated measures.

Findings
Results are significant to the study model. ANOVA results show that the assumption of sphericity is not violated: Mauchly’s W, Greenhouse–Geisser, Huynh–Feldt estimates are equal to one, suggesting that the data are perfectly spherical. The mediation and moderation effects for repeated measure designs are also significant. The tests are based on 95 per cent Monte Carlo confidence interval and 20,000 bootstrapping samples.

Research limitations/implications
This study enhances the hierarchy of effects theory (HOE) (Lavidge and Steiner, 1961), which posits that consumers respond to a specific marketing communication through three components: the cognitive component, which is measured by an individual’s intellectual, mental or rational states; the affective component that refers to an individual’s emotional and feeling states; and finally the conative or motivational state, that is, the striving state relating to the tendency to treat objects as positive or negative. This study observes significant paths from POHAE to purchase intention and word of mouth. Limitations include a small sample size (95) and not regressing the POHAE variables individually on purchase intention and word of mouth.

Practical implications
Given the absence of a brand, as in the Airbnb host advertisement, attention should be given to writing the adverts effectively. Advertising creativity does not only hold for graphics and personal pictures but also for the hosts who need to be creative in crafting their advertisement text. Elements such as social responsibility practice and creativity should also not be overlooked.

Social implications
This study provides insights on how to effectively communicate with potential customers in a peer-to-peer marketplace.

Originality/value
This study provides an insight into peer-to-peer marketplaces on the importance of marketing communication strategies by providing more attention to writing advertisement texts. It is important to understand the variables that influence consumers’ motivation in responding to Airbnb online advertisements.
Listening to the voice of students, developing a service quality measuring and evaluating framework for a special course
Authors: Tóth Zsuzsanna Eszter , Surman Vivien 
Published: December 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to propose a service quality measuring and evaluating framework for courses that are not part of the regular end-of-semester course evaluation system because of their special characteristics. The results of an academic year-long application are also to be demonstrated.

Design/methodology/approach
Based on the SERVQUAL methodology and specific models proposed in the literature, altogether 26 statements related to project works were formulated, in case of which, students rated both the importance and performance addressed in each statement on a seven-point Likert scale. With an average 68 per cent response rate and more than 500 filled out questionnaires, importance-performance analyses complemented with statistical analysis were executed to investigate whether there are any differences between the different levels of project work courses, programmes, levels of studies and sub-departments. These results were then followed by focus group interviews by further addressing the importance issues.

Findings
Based on the joint conclusions drawn from the statistical analyses and extracted from focus groups, those statements were highlighted that can be considered as dealing with critical to quality issues. The results have been utilized to adjust the questionnaire according to the “voice of students”.

Research limitations/implications
A complex approach is adopted to measure and evaluate service quality on a course level in the form of a post-course questionnaire. The first results lay the foundation for managerial decisions related to project work courses and supervising processes according to the plan–do–check–act philosophy.

Originality/value
During project works, students can master the necessary professional knowledge and those inevitable soft skills that are needed to be successful in the labour market. Therefore, the measurement and evaluation of project work courses may provide new information on course-level service quality and may be linked to total student experience results.

Authors: Allison Penelope , Mnatsakanova Anna , McCanlies Erin , Fekedulegn Desta , Hartley Tara A. , Andrew Michael E. , Violanti John M. 
Published: December 2019

Purpose
Chronic exposure to occupational stress may lead to depressive symptoms in police officers. The association between police stress and depressive symptoms and the potential influences of coping and hardiness were evaluated. The paper aims to discuss this issue.

Design/methodology/approach
Stress level was assessed in the Buffalo Cardio-Metabolic Occupational Police Stress Study (2004–2009) with the Spielberger Police Stress Survey. The frequency and severity of events at work were used to calculate stress indices for the past year. The Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression (CES-D) Scale was used to measure depressive symptoms during the past week. Linear regression was used to evaluate the association between the stress indices and depressive symptom scores. Models were adjusted for age, sex, race, smoking status and alcohol intake, and stratified by median values for coping (passive, active and support seeking) and hardiness (control, commitment and challenge) to assess effect modification.

Findings
Among the 388 officers (73.2 percent men), a significant positive association was observed between total stress and the CES-D score (β=1.98 (SE=0.36); p<0.001). Lower CES-D scores were observed for officers who reported lower passive coping (β=0.94 (SE=0.45); p=0.038) and higher active coping (β=1.41 (SE=0.44); p=0.002), compared with their counterparts. Officers higher in hardiness had lower CES-D scores, particularly for commitment (β=0.86 (SE=0.35); p=0.016) and control (β=1.58 (SE=0.34); p<0.001).

Originality/value
Results indicate that high active coping and hardiness modify the effect of work stress in law enforcement, acting to reduce depressive symptoms.
Dendritic cells: The driver of psoriasis
Authors: Wang Ao , Bai YanPing 
Published: December 2019

AbstractPsoriasis is a chronic skin inflammatory disorder, the immune mechanism of which has been profoundly elucidated in the past few years. The dominance of the interleukin (IL)‐23/IL‐17 axis is a significant breakthrough in the understanding of the pathogenesis of psoriasis, and treatment targeting IL‐23 and IL‐17 has successfully benefited patients with the disease. The skin contains a complex network of dendritic cells (DC) mainly composed of epidermal Langerhans cells, bone marrow‐derived dermal conventional DC, plasmacytoid DC and inflammatory DC. As the prominent cellular source of α‐interferon, tumor necrosis factor‐α, IL‐12 and IL‐23, DC play a pivotal role in psoriasis. Thus, targeting pathogenic DC subsets is a valid strategy for alleviating and preventing psoriasis and other DC‐derived diseases. In this review, we survey the known role of DC in this disease.

Authors: McConnell Margaret , Rogers William , Simeonova Emilia , Wilson Ira B. 
Published: December 2019

AbstractObjectiveTo test the impact of connecting physicians, pharmacists, and patients to address medication nonadherence, and to compare different physician choice architectures.Data Sources and Study SettingThe study was conducted with 90 physicians and 2602 of their patients on medications treating chronic illness.Study DesignIn this cluster randomized controlled trial, physicians were randomly assigned to an arm where the physician receives notification of patient nonadherence derived from real‐time claims data, an arm where they receive this information and a pharmacist may contact patients either by default or by physician choice, and a control group. The primary outcome was resolving nonadherence within 30 days. We also considered physician engagement outcomes including viewing information about nonadherence and utilizing a pharmacist.Data CollectionPhysician engagement was constructed from metadata from the study website; adherence outcomes were constructed from medication claims.Principal FindingsWe see no differences between the treatment arms and control for the primary adherence outcome. The pharmacist intervention was 42 percentage points (95% CI: 28 pp–56 pp) more likely when it was triggered by default.ConclusionsAccess to a pharmacist and real‐time nonadherence information did not improve patient adherence. Physician process of care was sensitive to choice architecture.

AbstractObjectiveAxial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) is a chronic inflammatory disease bearing challenges in early diagnosis. To improve clinical diagnosis and management of axSpA, recommendations were developed with current axSpA classification criteria and recent advances in medical imaging applications.MethodsA systematic literature review was conducted by 10 rheumatologists and radiologists in Taiwan to retrieve research evidence on the utilization of imaging modalities, including conventional radiography (CR), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), ultrasound (US), quantitative sacroiliac scintigraphy (QSS), and dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry (DXA). The panel of experts proposed six key issues on the role of imaging in early diagnosis of axSpA, monitoring of disease activity and structural changes, predicting treatment effects, and assessing complications such as osteoporosis and spinal fracture. The consensus was established on the basis of research evidence, clinical experiences and expert opinions. For each recommendation statement, the level of evidence was evaluated, the strength of recommendation was graded and the final level of agreement was determined through voting.ResultsIn total, four overarching principles and 13 recommendations were formulated. These recommendations outlined different imaging approaches in the diagnosis and management of axSpA disease progression. Considering CT is easy to perform when MRI is less available in Taiwan, the expert panel proposed a concise and practical diagnostic scheme to strengthen the valuable role of MRI and CT in the diagnostic evaluation of axSpA without evident radiographic features.ConclusionThese modified recommendations provide guidance for rheumatologists, radiologists and healthcare professionals on timely diagnosis of axSpA and disease management with appropriate imaging modalities.

Published: December 2019

AbstractPurposeTo evaluate and correlate levels of various proteins involved in coagulation, inflammation and angiogenesis processes in the vitreous of patients with different vitreoretinal pathologies.MethodsVitreous samples were collected from patients scheduled for pars plana vitrectomy for the treatment of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD), vitreous haemorrhage or tractional retinal detachment associated with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). Macular hole and epiretinal membrane served as controls. Levels of vascular endothelial growth factor, thrombin–antithrombin III complex, interleukin‐8, tissue factor, thrombomodulin, P‐selectin, D‐dimer and tissue factor pathway inhibitor were compared among the vitreoretinal pathology groups.ResultsCompared to controls, patients with PDR had significantly higher levels of thrombin–antithrombin III complex (p < 0.001), vascular endothelial growth factor (p < 0.001), D‐dimer (p = 0.038) and interleukin‐8 (p = 0.04), and patients with RRD group had significantly higher levels only of thrombin–antithrombin III complex (p < 0.001). There was a significant linear correlation between levels of P‐selectin and D‐dimer (p = 0.003), P‐selectin and interleukin‐8 (p < 0.001), and D‐dimer and IL‐8 (p = 0.007). These correlations were particularly strong in the PDR group compared to the other groups.ConclusionPatients with PDR manifest high coagulative and angiogenic activity in the vitreous. These pathways are highly correlated with the inflammatory cascade.

AimsTo test if spironolactone or dietary nitrate from beetroot juice could reduce arterial stiffness as aortic pulse wave velocity (PWVart), a potential treatment target, independently of blood pressure.MethodsDaily spironolactone (≤50 mg) vs doxazosin (control ≤16 mg) and 70 mL beetroot juice (Beet‐It ≤11 mmol nitrate) vs nitrate‐depleted juice (placebo; 0 mmol nitrate) were tested in people at risk or with type‐2 diabetes using a double‐blind, 6‐month factorial trial. Vascular indices (baseline, 12, 24 weeks) were cardiac–ankle vascular index (CAVI), a nominally pressure‐independent stiffness measure (primary outcome), PWVart secondary, central systolic pressure and augmentation. Analysis was intention‐to‐treat, adjusted for systolic pressure differences between trial arms.ResultsSpironolactone did not reduce stiffness, with evidence for reduced CAVI on doxazosin rather than spironolactone (mean difference [95% confidence interval]; 0.25 [−0.3, 0.5] units, P = .080), firmer for PWVart (0.37 [0.01, 0.7] m/s, P = .045). There was no difference in systolic pressure reduction between spironolactone and doxazosin (0.7 [−4.8, 3.3] mmHg, P = .7). Circulating nitrate and nitrite increased on active vs placebo juice, with central systolic pressure lowered −2.6 [−4.5, − 0.8] mmHg, P = .007 more on the active juice, but did not reduce CAVI, PWVart or peripheral pressure. Change in nitrate and nitrite concentrations were 1.5‐fold [1.1–2.2] and 2.2‐fold [1.3, 3.6] higher on spironolactone than on doxazosin respectively; both P < .05.ConclusionContrary to our hypothesis, in at‐risk/type 2 diabetes patients, spironolactone did not reduce arterial stiffness, rather PWVart was lower on doxazosin. Dietary nitrate elevated plasma nitrite, selectively lowering central systolic pressure, observed previously for nitrite.
The dynamics of online learning at the workplace: Peer‐facilitated social learning and the application in practice
Authors: Schaefer Teresa , Fabian Claudia Magdalena , Kopp Tobias 
Published: December 2019

AbstractResearch stresses the importance of social components in learning. The social contact with peers and tutors stimulates reflection and supports higher processes of learning necessary for the internalisation and application of new knowledge. However, merely proposing opportunities for interaction does not necessarily lead to fruitful discussion and collaboration. Social presence and facilitation are key concepts for successful mutual learning. Both are represented in Murphy’s collaboration model; social presence forms the basis of collaboration on which discussions and co‐construction of knowledge evolve. Facilitation supports the entire collaboration process. In this paper, an adjusted version of Murphy’s model was applied to analyse 1085 comments shared in an online course between career practitioners of a public employment service. The results show that without a dedicated tutor, learners can still be involved in collaborative learning and co‐construction of new knowledge provided that the topic under discussion is highly relevant and controversial. Learners themselves take over social presence and facilitation activities, but less frequently than when a professional tutor facilitates discussions. Ex post summative evaluation revealed that only a few learners applied the gained knowledge in the long‐term. As comparisons with related research suggest, higher facilitation support leading to a higher cognitive interaction with the learning could have better supported the transfer to practice.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy of docetaxel and androgen receptor axis‐targeted (ARAT) agents in patients with castration‐resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) with intraductal carcinoma of the prostate (IDC‐P) using a propensity score‐matched analysis.Patients and MethodsWe retrospectively identified 309 patients with CRPC from February 2007 to February 2016 at Nagoya University and its affiliated hospitals. All patients received initial androgen‐deprivation therapy (ADT). After progression to CRPC, they received docetaxel or ARAT (abiraterone or enzalutamide) as first‐line life‐prolonging therapy. Docetaxel (70–75 mg/m2) every 3 weeks vs enzalutamide (160 mg) once daily orally or abiraterone (1 g) once daily plus prednisone (5 mg) twice daily orally was administered. The primary outcome of interest was overall survival (OS) from the time of CRPC diagnosis. A propensity score analysis with a 1:1 ratio using an optimal matching algorithm was used to adjust for confounding factors.ResultsOverall, 234 patients were analysed. Propensity score‐matching identified 85 patients in each group. There were no significant differences in patient characteristics between the groups. The median OS in the docetaxel group was 38.2 vs 58.3 months in the ARAT group (P = 0.03). For patients with IDC‐P, OS was significantly longer in the ARAT group than the docetaxel group (P = 0.01), and there was no significant difference in each group, as in patients without IDC‐P (P = 0.67). A multivariate analysis showed that the presence of IDC‐P, duration of primary ADT, visceral metastasis, and administration of ARAT as the first‐line treatment for CRPC were independent prognostic factors for OS.ConclusionAdministration of ARAT as the first‐line treatment for CRPC may prolong OS more than that of docetaxel, especially in patients with IDC‐P.
