A turbulent time: government sources post-2016 presidential election
Authors: Kubas Alicia 
Published: January 2020

Purpose
Since the 2016 presidential election, hyper-partisanship has become a regular facet of the political landscape with Democrats and Republicans in increasing conflict. The purpose of this paper is to determine if perception of government sources related to trust and credibility has changed since the 2016 election and if the experiences and strategies of librarians who teach or consult about government information has changed in response to this environment.

Design/methodology/approach
A 24-question survey was distributed to garner qualitative and quantitative responses from librarians who teach or consult about government information in an academic environment. A total of 122 responses were used for analysis.

Findings
Academic librarians are seeing more concern from patrons about disappearing online government information and wider distrust of government information. Librarians also noticed that the political leanings of students color their perspective around government sources and that librarians also need to keep their political beliefs in check. Respondents emphasized a need for more government literacy and information literacy topics when discussing evaluation of government sources.

Research limitations/implications
The data collection only included responses from academic librarians. Further research could include in-depth interviews and look at experiences in various library types.

Originality/value
With the timeliness of this topic, there has not been an in-depth investigation into how the Trump administration has changed user trust and perception of government sources from the librarian’s point of view. This paper continues the conversation about how librarians can address the growing distrust of government information and give us insight into the effects of a turbulent political climate on government sources.

Published: January 2020

PurposeDecarbonising the housing stock is one of the largest challenges in the built environment today, which is getting the attention not only from policymakers but also from social housing corporations, financial organisations and users. In line with the international Paris-Climate-Change-Conference 2015, Dutch cities and housing associations have embraced this challenge with the ambitions to become carbon neutral in 2050. To reach such goals, both the rate and depth of renovation need to increase. Several technical solutions to eliminate the energy demand in dwelling have been developed and tested. Nevertheless, the intake rate of deep retrofitting is low. Despite recent developments, there are still significant barriers related to financing, lack of information and user acceptance. To address those barriers, the purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between energy efficiency upgrades and the cost of living.Design/methodology/approachFocusing on walk-up apartments in the Netherlands, a framework of refurbishment measures that affect the energy efficiency was identified, and their performance was calculated. Furthermore, the rental price adjustment was estimated, taking into account the refurbishment investment and the exploitation cost of the renovated dwellings.FindingsThe comparison of the energy use and rental price for the different options demonstrated how the different renovation measures affect the energy cost, the energy use, rent and cost of living. The tenants are more likely to accept the solutions that take into account the total cost of living and sustainability benefits. The study gives a holistic standpoint to the issue of energy upgrades, by quantifying the effect of the potential measures for the whole exploitation period. It has shown the potential of the different interventions to improve the performance and living conditions, without necessarily increasing the total cost of living.Practical implicationsSuch results aim at supporting the decision making between the stakeholders, primarily housing associations and tenants.Originality/valueThe importance of the study is that it gives a holistic standpoint to the issue of energy upgrades, by quantifying the effect of the potential measures for the whole exploitation period. The cost, as a key, if not the more most decisive, issue, is put into perspective in relation to the benefit, in order to give a direction to the renovation design and arguments for the stakeholders’ dialogue. The approach of the study goes beyond cost-optimality of measures and investigated the relation between energy upgrades and cost, as a way to evaluate design variation and address the lack of information barrier in renovations. Moreover, it also proves that deep renovation is feasible without increasing in the total cost of living, which is a principal argument to promote renovations.
Decoupling: customer-centric perspectives on disruption and competitive advantage
Authors: Leavy Brian 
Published: January 2020

Purpose
The masterclass describes how companies are rapidly moving away from firm-centric views of value to a more customer-centric perspective of how value is created and co-created in an age of ubiquitous connectivity and producer-consumer real-time interaction.

Design/methodology/approach
This masterclass focuses on the insights of Harvard marketing expert Thales Teixeira’ book Unlocking the Customer Value Chain: How Decoupling Drives Consumer Disruption.

Findings
Professor Teixeira argues that change in consumer behavior, rather than technology, is the primary source of disruption in many industries, particularly in those likely to be most impacted by digitization. By paying close attention to the customer’s value chain, entrepreneurs can spot potential new opportunities for disruption and incumbents can figure out how best to respond to potential challenges.

Practical implications
When delving deeply into the customer value chain for disruptive innovation opportunities, it is important to recognize that customers always pay you with three ‘currencies,’ their money, their time and their effort.

Originality/value
By highlighting the common phenomenon of decoupling and how it operates, Teixeira helps make its disruptive potential more transparent and predictable for both disruptors and incumbents alike. Teixeira’s research identified three different types of decoupling: value-creating decoupling, value-eroding decoupling and value-charging decoupling.
How leadership teams can face and fix their “undiscussable” dysfunctions
Authors: Sterling John 
Published: January 2020

Purpose
This interview of two IMD professors examines how leadership teams that are struggling to make decisions or experiencing tensions, can address the root causes of dysfunctionality -- "undiscussables" of some kind – unexpressed thoughts and feelings that, if addressed effectively, could help the team work more productively.

Design/methodology/approach
The interviewees identify four varieties of undiscussables, each with its own drivers and solutions: 10;∙9; “Things we think but don’t say.” 10;∙9; “Things we say but don’t mean.” 10;∙9; “Things we feel but can’t name.” 10;∙9; “Things we do but don’t realize.” 10;

Findings
Several high profile corporate disasters from Enron to Theranos are rooted in undiscussables with dysfunctional top teams stifling questioning voices and slowly creating a culture of fear denial and delusion that ends up leading the company astray. Team members are either unable or unwilling to express what ails them which systematically distorts their formal and informal interactions.

Practical implications
One key insight for leaders who are part of the “undicussable” proble: they need to demonstrate to followers that they prefer it when people push back and make them think.

Originality/value
By distinguishing the four types of undiscussables and delineating a fix for each the interview shows how to create a team context where criticism is an expected norm and questioning each other’s reasoning is not viewed as disloyal but rather as a valuable chance to learn and improve together.
Understanding online shopping behaviours and purchase intentions amongst millennials
Authors: Dharmesti Maria , Dharmesti Theresia Rasika Seta , Kuhne Sarah , Thaichon Park 
Published: January 2020

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to examine online purchase behaviours amongst young consumers in Australia and the USA. It also aims to develop and test a theoretical framework of young consumers’ online purchase behaviour.

Design/methodology/approach
Data were collected through online surveys targeting young online shoppers in Australia and the USA. A multi-group structural equation modelling was used to test the proposed structural model and hypotheses.

Findings
The model shows a good fit with the data. Young consumers in Australia and the USA have positive attitude towards online shopping that significantly affects their online purchase intentions. Social motive negatively impacts online purchase intentions in the Australian sample. Escapism and value motives positively affect Australian and American young shoppers’ online purchase intentions. Young consumers in Australia and the USA are very familiar with the online shopping process. The familiarity strongly triggers their information search behaviour that leads to online purchase intentions.

Practical implications
The results of this paper assist the marketers and policy makers to target and appeal to this young segment, based on their unique motivations, values and characteristics.

Originality/value
Using the generational cohort theory, this paper contributes to the extant literature by providing insights on the Australian and American young generation’s unique values and characteristics that influence their online purchase behaviours. This research also contributes insights for the marketers and policy makers to improve their marketing efforts and services and appeal to this young segment, based on their unique values and characteristics.
Terminal osseous dysplasia with pigmentary defects in a Chinese girl with the FLNA mutation: A case report and published work review
Authors: Li Zhongtao , Xie Yao , Xiao Qiankun , Wang Lin 
Published: January 2020

AbstractTerminal osseous dysplasia with pigmentary defects (TODPD) is an extremely rare X‐linked dominant syndrome characterized by pigmentary skin defects, cutaneous digital fibromas and skeletal anomalies. Recent studies have identified that TODPD is caused by a unique variant, c.5217G>A (p.Val1724_Thr1739del), in the FLNA gene, which could in turn lead to the elastic fiber abnormality in TODPD. We herein present a rare case of TODPD in a Chinese girl due to an FLNA c.5217G>A heterozygous mutation, but the skin lesion biopsy showed that the elastic fibers were within normal limits in the dermis. A published work review of TODPD with the FLNA mutation from various origins is also included in this paper. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on TODPD with the FLNA mutation in China.
Alternatives to Resistance? Comparing Depoliticization in Two British Environmental Movement Scenes
Authors: de Moor Joost 
Published: January 2020

AbstractProcesses of politicization and depoliticization are increasingly studied in relation to urban contexts, and cities have been depicted as incubators of social movements. What has been largely ignored is why, in some cities, forces of politicization or depoliticization are stronger than in others. To address this question, this article compares two British cities—Manchester and Bristol—which have historically been central hubs of environmental resistance, but currently face similar depoliticizing forces: austerity, anti‐squatting laws, police repression and activists’ disillusion with environmentalism. Curiously, these conditions have had very different impacts on the two environmental scenes. In Manchester they have caused environmental resistance to become replaced almost entirely by non‐confrontational ‘alternatives’. In Bristol alternatives have emerged that tend to be in synergy with environmental resistance. The comparison thus suggests that Bristol is more conducive to maintaining environmental resistance under depoliticizing conditions. Findings suggest that differences can be attributed to features of the physical urban environment, including city size. Historically, these differences were not decisive. Yet, after a period of dwindling environmentalist energy in the UK, the number of environmentalist hubs has been reduced. This has prompted a reputational snowball that increasingly concentrates environmental resistance in the one city that best insulates the environmental movement from broader depoliticizing forces.
Contaminant, Commodity and Fuel: A Multi‐sited Study of Waste's roles in Urban Transformations from Italy to Austria
Authors: Behrsin Ingrid , De Rosa Salvatore Paolo 
Published: January 2020

AbstractThis article traces the flow of municipal solid waste from southern Italy through a waste‐to‐energy facility and district heating system in Austria, examining the roles that waste's transformation from contaminant to commodity to fuel plays in interconnected, distributed, and contested urbanization processes. It contends that, while metabolic circulation hides socioecological costs in one place to facilitate valorization in another, specific spatial configurations emerge through territorialization—of waste economies, in this case—providing the spatial base to realize metabolic flows and to anchor political narratives. A decisive effect is that certain patterns of urbanization become locked‐in, impeding alternative metabolic transitions and spatial configurations. Attending to the coproduction of three sites—Naples, Italy; Zwentendorf, Austria; and St Pölten, Austria—through the circulation and transformation of waste and energy the article provides an empirical multi‐sited case study of a political ecology of urbanization.
Fatal Methemoglobinemia Due to Acute Inhalation of Methyl Nitrite in an Industrial Accident
Authors: Huang Sizhe , Wang Rongshuai , Guo Bingbing , Ruan Hongbin , Ma Jinghong , Ren Liang , Liu Liang 
Published: January 2020

AbstractMethyl nitrite is suggested to cause methemoglobinemia by generating methemoglobin, which may be lethal when the methemoglobin concentration exceeds 70%. However, intoxication with methyl nitrite is seldom reported compared with that with other nitrites. Here, we present an industrial accident involving methyl nitrite inhalation during its synthesis process that resulted in three fatalities and one survivor. The autopsy revealed conspicuous blue‐gray discoloration in various parts of the body, including the skin, airway mucosa, vessels, brain, heart, and among other areas. The toxicological tests on the deceased showed methemoglobin concentrations in the blood over the lethal level and increased nitrite ion levels in the blood, gastric contents, liver, and lung tissue compared with those in control samples. The cause of death was determined to be methemoglobinemia‐induced hypoxia due to methyl nitrite inhalation. This report provides evidence that in methyl nitrite intoxication, exposure duration has a significant influence on the postmortem changes and likelihood of a fatal outcome may be related to the age of the victim. More attention is required regarding the industrial hazards of this substance.
Threat assessment as a school violence prevention strategy
Authors: Cornell Dewey G. 
Published: January 2020

Research SummaryThis paper describes the immense difficulty of predicting that someone is going to carry out a school shooting and then turns to threat assessment as a more promising violence prevention strategy. In schools, a multidisciplinary threat assessment team investigates reported threats and develops responses that are calibrated to the seriousness of the threat and the student's educational needs. Researchers have found that school teams have been able to resolve thousands of student threats with no serious acts of violence, yet permitting the majority of students to return to school. Controlled studies have found that schools using this approach can have reductions in the use of school suspension and improvements in student and teacher perceptions of school climate.Policy ImplicationsThreat assessment represents a fundamental shift in the risk assessment field away from the pursuit of predictive accuracy toward a broader approach to the prevention of violence by helping troubled individuals. Threat assessment offers schools a proactive alternative to reactive practices such as zero tolerance discipline and costly investment in building security measures.
Space between concern and crime
Authors: Silver James 
Published: January 2020

AbstractAmid widespread agreement that public mass violence is generally the result of understandable and often discoverable thoughts and behaviors, the threat assessment model of identifying, assessing, and managing potential offenders has proven an effective safety approach across different offender types. In this article I describe two impediments to the model's efficacy – incomplete national adoption of the model, and the disinclination of some bystanders to report concerning behaviors potentially related to public mass violence. I propose addressing the first of these obstacles by encouraging use of dissemination and implementation science, and the second by extending emerging application of social norms concepts. Each approach leverages the strength of existing (and developing) threat assessment strategies and highlights potentially productive areas for research and policy innovation.

Published: January 2020

Abstract

Classifying acoustic units is often a key step in studying repertoires and sequence structure in animal communication. Manual classification by eye and ear remains the primary method, but new tools and techniques are urgently needed to expedite the process for large, diverse datasets.

Here we introduce Koe, an application for classifying and analysing animal vocalizations. Koe offers bulk‐labelling of units via interactive ordination plots and unit tables, as well as visualization and playback, segmentation, measurement, data filtering/exporting and new tools for analysing repertoire and sequence structure – in an integrated environment.

We demonstrate Koe with a real‐world case study of New Zealand bellbird Anthornis melanura songs from an archipelago metapopulation. Having classified 21,500 units in Koe, we compare repertoires and sequence structure between sites and sexes.

Koe is web‐based (koe.io.ac.nz.) and easy to use, making it ideal for collaboration, education and citizen science. By enabling large‐scale, high‐resolution classification and analysis of animal vocalizations, Koe expands the possibilities for bioacoustics research.
IL33 contributes to diesel pollution‐mediated increase in experimental asthma severity
Authors: Brandt Eric B. , Bolcas Paige E. , Ruff Brandy P. , Khurana Hershey Gurjit K. 
Published: January 2020

AbstractBackgroundExposure to traffic pollution, notably diesel exhaust particles (DEP), increases risk for asthma and asthma exacerbations. The contribution of cytokines generated by stressed lung epithelial cells (IL25, IL33, TSLP) to DEP‐induced asthma severity remains poorly understood.MethodsBALB/c mice were exposed intratracheally once to DEP or 9 times over 3‐weeks to either saline, DEP, and/or house dust mite extract (HDM). Airway hyper‐responsiveness (AHR), pulmonary inflammation, and T‐cell subsets were assessed 24 hours after the last exposure in mice sufficient and deficient for the IL33 receptor ST2.ResultsDEP exposure induces oxidative stress, IL6, neutrophils and pulmonary accumulation of IL33, but not IL25 or TSLP or other features of allergic disease. When mice are co‐exposed to DEP and low doses of HDM, DEP increases IL33 lung levels and Th2 responses. ST2 deficiency partially protected mice from HDM + DEP induced AHR in association with decreased type 2 inflammation and lung levels of IL5+IL17A+ co‐producing T‐cells. Upon in vitro HDM challenge of lung cells from HDM ± DEP exposed ST2−/− mice, secretion of IL5, IL13, IL6 and IL17A was abrogated by a mechanism involving IL33 signaling in both dendritic cells and T‐cells. HDM + DEP exposed bone marrow derived dendritic cells and IL33 pulsed BMDC promote a mixed Th2/Th17 response that was dependent on ST2 expression by CD4+ T‐cells.ConclusionIL33 contributes to DEP mediated increase in allergen‐induced Th2 inflammation and AHR in a mouse model of severe steroid resistant asthma, potentially through the accumulation of pathogenic IL5+IL17A+ CD4+ effector T‐cells.

Published: January 2020

AbstractThe present work presents a numerical study of two axial ventricular assist devices (VADs) with two different designs. The geometry of the first design was inspired by DeBakey's rotary blood pump and the geometry of the second design is based on BioCirc’s pediatric VAD. The goal is to see which of the two designs has promising capabilities in terms of pressure differential, flow rate, and thrombosis before proceeding to deeper investigations. In this study a computational fluid dynamics tool was used to simulate and calculate the hemodynamics in the two investigated models. Both models were investigated for a flow rate of 5 L/min at rotational speeds between 10 000 and 15 000 rpm.

Published: January 2020

Accessible summary

Everyone can be part of research.

Some may need extra time and attention to decide if they want to take part in a research study, also called assent.

This paper gives ideas to support people with learning disabilities in making their own choices.

AbstractBackgroundResearch assent is a term used with those deemed vulnerable, for whom modifications and additional considerations are required when requesting their voluntary agreement to participate in research.MethodsThe authors’ research experiences and inclusive research principles were integrated with a review of literature on research assent with individuals with significant learning disabilities.FindingsVulnerability can be reconceived through the value and voice of participation in research. We provide practical suggestions for those who oversee social science research, as well as offer guidance to researchers considering inclusive research but for whom practical considerations are required.ConclusionTo enhance participant diversity and a generative contribution to knowledge, consideration about research assent is needed. The absence from research can perpetuate exclusion from society.
