A new triple tungstate Rb9−xAg3+xSc2(WO4)9(0 ≤x≤ 0.15) synthesized by solid state reactions and spontaneous crystallization from melts presents a new structure type related to those of Cs7Na5Yb2(MoO4)9and Na13Sr2Ta2(PO4)9. The title compound in centrosymmetric space groupCmcmcontains dimers of two ScO6octahedra sharing corners with three bridging WO4tetrahedra. Three pairs of opposite terminal WO4tetrahedra are additionally linked by AgO2dumbbells to form {Ag3[Sc2(WO4)9]}9−groups, which together with some rubidium ions are packed in pseudohexagonal glaserite-like layers parallel to (001), but stacking of the layers is different in these three structures. In the title structure, the layers stack with a shift along thebaxis and their interlayer space contains disordered Rb+cations partially substituted by Ag+ions. Almost linear chains of incompletely filled close Rb3a–Rb3d positions (the shortest distances Rb–Rb are 0.46 to 0.64 Å) are found to locate approximately along thebaxis. This positional disorder and the presence of wide common quadrangular faces of Rb2 and Rb3a–Rb3d coordination polyhedra favor two-dimensional ionic conductivity in the (001) plane with Rb+and Ag+carriers, which was confirmed with bond valence sum (BVS) maps. Electrical conductivity measurements on Rb9Ag3Sc2(WO4)9ceramics revealed a first-order superionic phase transition at 570 K with a sharp increase in the electrical conductivity. The conductivity σi = 1.8 × 10−3 S cm−1at 690 K is comparable with the value of 1.0 × 10−3 S cm−1(500 K) observed earlier for rubidium-ion transport in pyrochlore-like ferroelectric RbNbWO6.

Published: December 2019

PurposeThe Industry 4.0 phenomenon is bringing unprecedented disruptions for all traditional business models and hastening the need for a redesign and digitisation of activities. In this context, the literature concerning the digital supply chain (DSC) and its capabilities are in the early stages. To bridge this gap, the purpose of this paper is to propose a framework for digital supply chain capabilities (DSCCs).Design/methodology/approachThis paper uses a narrative literature approach, based on the main Industry 4.0 elements, supply chain and the emerging literature concerning DSC disruptions, to build an integrative framework to shed light on DSCCs.FindingsThe study identifies seven basic capabilities that shape the DSCC framework and six main enabler technologies, derived from 13 propositions.Research limitations/implicationsThe proposed framework can bring valuable insights for future research development, although it has not been tested yet.Practical implicationsManagers, practitioners and all involved in the digitalisation phenomenon can utilise the framework as a starting point for other business digitalisation projects.Originality/valueThis study contributes to advancing the DSC literature, providing a well-articulated discussion and a framework regarding the capabilities, as well as 13 propositions that can generate valuable insights for other studies.
Gender differences in inter-role conflict in Spain
Authors: Sánchez-Vidal M. Eugenia , Cegarra-Leiva David , Cross Christine 
Published: December 2019

Purpose
Attention on the issue of individual level conflict between work and life roles remains a feature of studies on work-life balance. However, few studies have examined gender differences in the work-to-life conflict (WLC) and the life-to-work conflict (LWC) over a given period in Spain. The purpose of this paper is to address this gap in the literature.

Design/methodology/approach
This research uses a two-wave (2009–2014) sample of working employees with children from an industrial sector in Spain.

Findings
The 2009 results showed no gender differences in WLC; however, women experienced LWC significantly more than men. Conversely, the 2014 results showed more men suffered WLC and no gender differences were found for LWC.

Research limitations/implications
One limitation is that we do not know if the same respondents answered the questionnaires in both time periods. Second, we did not analyse the inter-role conflict experienced by childless or single employees. Finally, and as stated before, findings may not be generalisable to other countries or sectors of activities.

Social implications
Our findings are discussed in the context of the economic crisis, the labour market and family co-responsibility in Spanish society.

Originality/value
Few studies have explored gender differences on inter-role conflict at two time points, and helps to identify key findings in terms of co-responsibility. Furthermore, this research is conducted in Spain, which is under-researched in WLB terms. The paper also identifies two distinct constructs of the inter-role conflict.

Published: December 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to address the role of social robots in the education industry, specifically within special developmental schools, as a part of an innovation technology portfolio. It identifies critical success factors (CSFs) arising from the development, adoption and implementation of social robots to educate students with special needs and assist their teachers.

Design/methodology/approach
The study engaged in longitudinal research over 12 months, tracking the role of the Matilda robot in providing educational services to students with special needs.

Findings
The results propose a three-faceted framework for social robot application in special education: development, adoption and implementation.

Originality/value
The study has shown the willingness of students and teachers to embrace social robot technology, and the CSF that arise from this adoption. It has also found that social robots achieve the greatest success within the development, adoption and implementation framework when championed by executive management, and peer teacher support.
How logistics service quality and product quality matter in the retailer–customer relationship of food drive-throughs
Authors: Kaswengi Joseph , Lambey-Checchin Christine 
Published: December 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to focus on consumers’ behaviours in a new trend of grocery retailing, called the drive-through format. It investigates the influence of logistics service quality and product quality (freshness of the product and the product in general) on consumers’ reactions (satisfaction, average basket expenditure and shopping frequency) through the mediation of satisfaction. This work also examines whether convenience moderates the relation between perceived quality and consumer satisfaction.

Design/methodology/approach
This study tests these relationships with both path and structural models using a data set of grocery drive-throughs in France, gathered during 2015–2016. To confirm the validity of each construct, this paper has based and purified variables using various scales established in previous studies by conducting exploratory and confirmatory analysis.

Findings
Logistics service quality and perceived product are effective drivers of consumer satisfaction. As well, the results reveal a positive relationship between quality perceptions and behaviour (average basket expenditure and shopping frequency) through the mediating function of consumer (overall) satisfaction. Thus, the findings indicate that the positive effects of the interaction terms between convenience and both the perceived quality of service and the perceived quality of fresh products on satisfaction can lead to a higher purchase incidence in drive-throughs. However, the degree of consumer convenience does not alter the influence of product quality in general with regard to the formation of satisfaction in connection with drive-throughs.

Originality/value
Despite the growth of the drive-through format, few studies have investigated customer satisfaction within grocery retailing, nor its consequences and drivers, especially logistics service quality.
From individuals to populations: How intraspecific competition shapes thermal reaction norms

Published: December 2019

Abstract

Most ectotherms follow the temperature‐size rule (TSR): in cold environments individuals grow slowly but reach a large asymptotic length. Intraspecific competition can induce plastic changes of growth rate and asymptotic length and competition may itself be modulated by temperature.

Our aim was to disentangle the joint effects of temperature and intraspecific competition on growth rate and asymptotic length.

We used two distinct clonal lineages of the Collembola Folsomia candida, to describe thermal reaction norms of growth rate, asymptotic length and reproduction over six temperatures between 6 and 29°C. In parallel, we measured the long‐term size structure and dynamics of springtail populations reared under the same temperatures to measure growth rates and asymptotic lengths in populations and to quantify the joint effects of competition and temperature on these traits.

We show that intraspecific competition modulates the temperature‐size rule. In dense populations there is a direct negative effect of temperature on asymptotic length, but there is no temperature dependence of the growth rate, the dominant factor regulating growth being competition. The two lineages responded differently to the joint effects of temperature and competition on growth and asymptotic size and these genetic differences have marked effects on population structure along our temperature gradient.

Our results reinforce the idea that the TSR of ectotherms can be modulated by biotic and abiotic stressors when studied in non‐optimal laboratory experiments. Untangling complex interactions between the environment and demography will help to understand how growth trajectories respond to environmental change and how climate change may influence population size structure.

AbstractMicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as crucial regulators of neuronal injury during cerebral ischaemia/reperfusion injury. Various miRNAs are dysregulated during this pathological process; however, the precise role of these miRNAs in regulating neuronal injury remains largely unknown. In the current study, we explored the potential function of microRNA‐148b‐3p (miR‐148b‐3p) in regulating neuronal injury induced by oxygen‐glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) in vitro, a cellular model for mimicking cerebral ischaemia/reperfusion injury. We found that miR‐148b‐3p expression was significantly decreased in neurons in response to OGD/R exposure. Importantly, miR‐148b‐3p overexpression decreased cell viability and exacerbated apoptosis and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in OGD/R‐exposed neurons. By contrast, miR‐148b‐3p inhibition improved cell viability and decreased apoptosis and ROS production in OGD/R‐exposed neurons. Notably, Sestrin2, a cytoprotective gene, was identified as a miR‐148b‐3p target gene. miR‐148b‐3p inhibition markedly increased Sestrin2 expression as well as the activation of nuclear factor erythroid‐2‐related factor 2 (Nrf2) antioxidant signalling. Moreover, silencing of Sestrin2 or Nrf2 significantly reversed the miR‐148‐3p‐inhibition‐mediated protective effect in OGD/R‐injured neurons. Overall, these results demonstrate that miR‐148b‐3p inhibition protects neurons from OGD/R‐induced apoptosis and ROS production through reinforcing Nrf2 antioxidant signalling via upregulation of Sestrin2. Our study indicates that the miR‐148b‐3p/Sestrin2/Nrf2 axis plays an important role in regulating neuronal injury and may serve as a potential therapeutic target for providing neuroprotection during cerebral ischaemia/reperfusion injury.
Ugly Intimacies and State Power: Separation Processes in Late Nineteenth‐Century Denmark
Authors: Vallgårda Karen 
Published: December 2019

ABSTRACTThis article is about the complicated intertwinements of state power, bureaucratic practices and the gendered formation of emotions in separation processes. Historians have long argued that ‘emotional regimes’ aim at regulating the emotional behaviour of different groups of people, and gender historians have demonstrated that marriage is crucial in shaping people's cognitive, social, sexual and economic possibilities in fundamentally gendered ways. This article contributes to these lines of research by suggesting that in order to understand the complex and variable nature of the state and the centrality of emotions to its gendered exercise of power, we need to interrogate the many local everyday interactions between state representatives and ordinary citizens in a variety of contexts. Concentrating on one of the public/private arenas in which these exchanges take place, the article examines separation cases from late nineteenth‐century Denmark. It employs the concept of ‘emotional formation’ to argue that the state played a central role in shaping the contestants’ emotional dispositions in deeply gendered ways. Yet, this was not a top‐down operation, but rather a multi‐vocal process in which the boundaries between appropriate and inacceptable gendered emotional behaviour were a site of contestation.
Colorants in cheese manufacture: Production, chemistry, interactions, and regulation
Authors: Sharma Prateek , Segat Annalisa , Kelly Alan L. , Sheehan Jeremiah J. 
Published: December 2019

AbstractColored Cheddar cheeses are prepared by adding an aqueous annatto extract (norbixin) to cheese milk; however, a considerable proportion (∼20%) of such colorant is transferred to whey, which can limit the end use applications of whey products. Different geographical regions have adopted various strategies for handling whey derived from colored cheeses production. For example, in the United States, whey products are treated with oxidizing agents such as hydrogen peroxide and benzoyl peroxide to obtain white and colorless spray‐dried products; however, chemical bleaching of whey is prohibited in Europe and China. Fundamental studies have focused on understanding the interactions between colorants molecules and various components of cheese. In addition, the selective delivery of colorants to the cheese curd through approaches such as encapsulated norbixin and microcapsules of bixin or use of alternative colorants, including fat‐soluble/emulsified versions of annatto or beta‐carotene, has been studied. This review provides a critical analysis of pertinent scientific and patent literature pertaining to colorant delivery in cheese and various types of colorant products on the market for cheese manufacture, and also considers interactions between colorant molecules and cheese components; various strategies for elimination of color transfer to whey during cheese manufacture are also discussed.
Reassembling Linux‐based Hybrid RAID
Authors: Choi Jong‐Hyun , Park Jungheum , Lee Sangjin 
Published: December 2019

AbstractNetwork‐attached storage (NAS) is a system that uses a redundant array of disks (RAID) to create virtual disks comprising multiple disks and provide network services such as FTP, SSH, and WebDAV. Using these services, the NAS's virtual disks store data about individuals or groups, making them a critical analysis target for digital forensics. Well‐known storage manufacturers like Seagate, Synology, and NETGEAR use Linux‐based software RAID, and they usually support Berkeley RAID (e.g., RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, and 10) as well as self‐developed hybrid RAID. Those manufacturers have published data on the introduction and features of hybrid RAID, but there is not enough information to reassemble RAID from a digital forensic perspective. Besides, digital forensic tools (such as EnCase, FTK, X‐ways, and RAID Reconstructor) do not support automatic RAID reassembly for hybrid RAID, so research on hybrid RAID reassembly methods is necessary. This paper analyzes the disk array composed of hybrid RAID and explains the layout of disk array, partition layout in hybrid RAID, and hybrid RAID configuration strategy. Furthermore, it suggests parameters that are required for RAID reassembly and then propose a hybrid RAID reassembly procedure using them. Finally, we propose a proof‐of‐concept tool (Hybrid RAID Reconstructor) that identifies hybrid RAID from disk array and parse RAID parameters.

AbstractSponge gourd (Luffa cylindrica (L.) Roem.) or luffa is a diploid herbaceous plant with 26 chromosomes (2n = 26) and belongs to the family Cucurbitaceae. To address the limited knowledge of the genome of Luffa species, the chromosome‐level genome of L. cylindrica was assembled and analysed using PacBio long reads and Hi‐C data. We combined Hi‐C data with a draft genome assembly to generate chromosome‐length scaffolds. Thirteen scaffolds corresponding to the 13 chromosomes were assembled from 1,156 contigs to a final size of 669 Mb with a contig N50 size of 5 Mb and a scaffold N50 size of 53 Mb. After removing redundant sequences, 416.31 Mb (62.18% of the genome) of repeat sequences was detected. Subsequently, 31,661 protein‐coding genes with an average of 5.69 exons per gene were identified in the L. cylindrica genome using de novo methods, transcriptome data and homologue‐based approaches. In addition, 27,552 protein‐coding genes (87.02%) were annotated in five databases. According to the phylogenetic analysis, L. cylindrica is closely related to Cucurbita and Cucumis species and diverged from their common ancestor ~28.6–67.1 million years ago. Genome collinearity analysis was performed in Cucurbita moschata, Cucumis sativus and L. cylindrica, and it demonstrated a high degree of conserved gene order in these three species. The completeness of the genome will provide high‐quality genomic knowledge on breeding and reveal genetic variation in L. cylindrica.
The case of an arctic wild ass highlights the utility of ancient DNA for validating problematic identifications in museum collections

Published: December 2019

AbstractMuseum collections are essential for reconstructing and understanding past biodiversity. Many museum specimens are, however, challenging to identify. Museum samples may be incomplete, have an unusual morphology, or represent juvenile individuals, all of which complicate accurate identification. In some cases, inaccurate identification can lead to false biogeographic reconstructions with cascading impacts on paleontological and paleoecological research. Here, we analyzed an unusual Equid mandible found in the Far North of the Taymyr peninsula that was identified morphologically as Equus hemionus, an ancestor of present‐day Asiatic wild asses. If correct, this identification represents the only finding of a putative Late Pleistocene hemione in the Arctic region, and is therefore critical to understanding wild ass evolution and paleoecology. To confirm the accuracy of this specimen's taxonomic assignment, we used ancient DNA and mitochondrial hybridization capture to identify and place this specimen in the larger equid phylogeny. We find that the specimen is actually a member of E. caballus, the ancestor of domestic horses. Our study demonstrates the utility of ancient DNA to validate morphological identification, in particular of incomplete, otherwise problematic, or taxonomically unusual museum specimens.
Guidelines for use of fluorides in Australia: update 2019
Authors: Do LG ,   Australian Research Centre for Population Oral Health
Published: December 2019

AbstractFluoride use is the cornerstone of dental caries prevention. There are numerous sources of fluoride which might have different balance of risks and benefits. The first National Guidelines for Use of Fluorides in Australia were developed at a national Workshop in 2005, and updated in 2012. Since then, more evidence on the balance of risks and benefits of fluoride has become available. A third national Workshop was convened in 2019 to update the Guidelines for Use of Fluorides in Australia.
Identifying a surrogate metric for monitoring the population status of a secretive habitat specialist, the heath skinkLiopholis multiscutata,in south‐eastern Australia
Authors: Brown Geoff W. , Robertson Peter , Fanson Ben 
Published: December 2019

AbstractThreatened species that exist in small isolated populations are vulnerable to extinction processes, so effectively monitoring the trajectory of such populations will help determine the most appropriate management actions to combat extinction threats. In this study, we aimed to track the population status of the fossorial heath skinkLiopholis multiscutatathat is listed as threatened in Victoria, south‐eastern Australia, and exists there as a few small and highly disjunct populations, by using an appropriate surrogate population monitoring metric. This secretive lizard is a habitat specialist, is highly localised in Victoria and lives in warrens in semi‐arid heathland or mallee on large dunes. Survey data, which included every warren and their constituent burrows, as well as an assessment of whether each burrow was ‘active’, were collected for the four known Victorian populations in 2007 and annually during 2014–2018 inclusive. We compared five population indices per monitoring site: number of active warrens (NAW), number of active burrows (NAB), population area for 80% of active warrens (PA80), percentage of warrens that were active (PAW) and average number of active burrows per active warren. The heath skink currently occurs in small populations (8–46 active warrens) and these populations have typically declined over recent years. NAW was the most robust metric; NAB and PA80 did not reveal strong temporal trends. PAW indicated that inactive warrens and burrows persist less than a year and hence may provide information about recent (within months) population changes. It is imperative to establish a material link between the effective monitoring of small, vulnerable populations and the implementation of management actions that benefit such populations. Here, NAW could be used as a long‐term monitoring tool to provide an estimate of the minimum population size of the heath skink at a site. Its use would also ensure continuity in monitoring approaches for the Victorian populations.
