Authors: Moreno-Gómez Jorge , Gómez-Araujo Eduardo , Castillo-De Andreis Rafael 
Published: January 2020

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine the effect of parental role model in gender entrepreneurial intentions. The authors distinguish between paternal and maternal role models and investigate how their influence on students’ decision to become self-employed is moderated by gender.Design/methodology/approachThe authors use a logit model on a sample of 3.703 university students from Colombia Global University Entrepreneurial Spirit Students Survey 2016.FindingsAs pointed out by results, the findings show not only that the presence of parental role model increases entrepreneurial intentions but also that the effect of this influence is moderated by gender.Research limitations/implicationsFirst, data limitations do not allow us to analyze the ways in which the parent self-employed role model contributes to increasing entrepreneurial intentions. Second, the effects of specific characteristics of father and mother role model, such as education, age, culture and experience in the sector, are not taken into account to assess the link with entrepreneurial intentions.Originality/valueThis study offers a new insight relating parental role model and their impact to increase entrepreneurial intentions among universities student. The findings of this paper offer relevant information to universities policymaker to design of university strategies that promote entrepreneurial activity in Colombia.
Tough but not terrific: value destruction in men’s health
Authors: McGraw Jacquie , Russell-Bennett Rebekah , White Katherine M. 
Published: January 2020

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the role of masculine identity in generating value destruction and diminished well-being in a preventative health service.

Design/methodology/approach
This research used five focus groups with 39 Australian men aged between 50 and 74 years. Men’s participation in the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program informed the sample frame. In total, 12 Jungian male archetypes were used to identify different masculine identities.

Findings
Thematic analysis of the data revealed three themes of masculinity that explain why men destroy value by avoiding the use of a preventative health services including: rejection of the service reduces consumer disempowerment and emasculation, active rejection of resources creates positive agency and suppressing negative self-conscious emotions protects the self.

Research limitations/implications
Limitations include the single context of bowel cancer screening. Future research could investigate value destruction in other preventative health contexts such as testicular cancer screening, sexual health screening and drug abuse.

Practical implications
Practical implications include fostering consumer empowerment when accessing services, developing consumer resources to create positive agency and boosting positive self-conscious emotions by promoting positive social norms.

Originality/value
This research is the first known study to explore how value is destroyed in men’s preventative health using the perspective of gender identity. This research also is the first to explore value destruction as an emotion regulation strategy.
Audit committee characteristics and tax aggressiveness
Authors: Deslandes Manon , Fortin Anne , Landry Suzanne 
Published: January 2020

Purpose
This study aims to analyze the relationship between a company’s use of aggressive tax planning and several audit committee members’ characteristics, namely, independence, expertise, diligence and gender diversity.

Design/methodology/approach
This paper is an empirical research using archival data from 289 Canadian listed companies for the 2011-2015 period.

Findings
The authors find that measures of expertise and diligence are significantly related to tax aggressiveness. Financial expertise and tenure on the audit committee play an important role in constraining tax aggressiveness, as does having a larger audit committee.

Research limitations/implications
One limitation – and an area for future research – is that the effects of the audit committee members’ relationships with managers of the firms were not investigated.

Practical implications
Knowledge of audit committee characteristics may send a signal to shareholders, investors and tax agencies regarding the company’s potential risk with respect to aggressive tax planning. The analysis provides useful insights for board governance committees when determining the profile of persons to nominate for board positions and committees. In discussing tax-risk management, the study may heighten audit committee members’ awareness of their role in this respect.

Originality/value
This study’s results indicate that even in a setting where incentives for firms to be tax-aggressive is low compared to high-tax rate countries, there is variability in firms’ tax aggressiveness. This situation allows us to find audit committee characteristics that are effective in decreasing tax aggressiveness.

In this paper, the authors consider finite solid cylinder with finite length and discuss the hygrothermal effect within a small range. Second, the material properties are both homogenous and isotropic and are independent of both temperature and moisture.
Optimization of digital radiography for large metallic additively manufactured components
Authors: Stoner Brant Edward , Jones Griffin T. , Joshi Sanjay , Martukanitz Rich 
Published: January 2020

Purpose
The continued improvement of additive manufacturing (AM) processing has led to increased part complexity and scale. Processes such as electron beam directed energy deposition (DED) are able to produce metal AM parts several meters in scale. These structures pose a challenge for current inspection techniques because of their large size and thickness. Typically, X-ray computed tomography is used to inspect AM components, but low source energies and small inspection volumes restrict the size of components that can be inspected. This paper aims to develop digital radiography (DR) as a method for inspecting multi-meter-sized AM components and a tool that optimizes the DR inspection process.

Design/methodology/approach
This tool, SMART DR, provides optimal orientations and the probability of detection for flaw sizes of interest. This information enables design changes to be made prior to manufacturing that improve the inspectabitity of the component and areas of interest.

Findings
Validation of SMART DR was performed using a 40-mm-thick stainless-steel blade produced by laser-based DED. An optimal orientation was automatically determined to allow radiographic inspection of a thickness of 40 mm with a 70% probability of detecting 0.5 mm diameter flaws. Radiography of the blade using the optimal orientation defined by SMART DR resulted in 0.5-mm diameter pores being detected and indicated good agreement between SMART DR’s predictions and the physical results.

Originality/value
This paper addresses the need for non-destructive inspection techniques specifically developed for AM components.

Published: January 2020

PurposeThis paper aims to develop a non-linear finite element model predicting the response of externally strengthened beams under a three-point flexure test.Design/methodology/approachThe ANSYS software is used for modeling. SOILD65, LINK180, SHELL181 and SOLID185 elements are used, respectively, to model concrete, steel reinforcement, polymer and steel plate support. A parametric study was carried out. The effects of compressive strength, Young’s modulus, layers number and carbon fiber-reinforced polymer thickness on beam behavior are analyzed. A comparative study between the non-linear finite element and analytical models, including the ACI 440.2 R-08 model, and experimental data is also carried out.FindingsA comparative study of the non-linear finite element results with analytical models, including the ACI 440.2 R-08 model and experimental data for different parameters, shows that the strengthened beams possessed better resistance to cracks. In general, the finite element model’s results are in good agreement with the experimental test data.Practical implicationsThis model will predict the strengthened beams behavior and can describe the beams physical conditions, yielding the results that can be interpreted in the structural study context without using a laboratory testing.Originality/valueOn the basis of the results, a good match is found between the model results and experimental data at all stages of loading the tested samples. Crack models obtained in the non-linear finite element model in the beams are also presented. The submitted finite element model can be used to predict the behavior of the reinforced concrete beam. Also, the comparative study between an analytical model proposed by of current code of ACI 440.2 R-08 and finite element analysis is investigated.

PurposeNowadays, the applications of metal matrix composites are tremendously increasing in engineering fields. Consequently, the demand for precise machining of composites has also grown enormously. The purpose of this paper is to reduce production cost and simultaneously improve desired product quality through optimal parameter setting using WASPAS and MOORA.Design/methodology/approachMetal matrix composites were fabricated using stir casting process, with aluminum 6063 as matrix and titanium carbide as reinforcement. Fabricated composite samples were machined on medium duty lathe using cemented carbide tool. All the experiments were carried out based on Box–Behnken design. Comparison of multi objective optimization based on ratio analysis and weighted aggregated sum product assessment in optimizing four parameters, namely, “cutting speed,” “feed rate,” “depth of cut” and “reinforcement weight percent of composite samples”; evaluating their influence on material removal rate, cutting force and surface roughness were carried out.FindingsThe output achieved by both MOORA and WASPAS are in similar MCDM) techniques in the selection of machining parameters.Practical implicationsThe results obtained in the present paper will be helpful for decision makers in manufacturing industries, who work in metal cutting area, to select the suitable levels for the parameters by implementing the MCDM techniques.Originality/valueThe novelty of this paper is making an attempt to select better MCDM technique based on the comparison of results obtained for the individual technique.

Published: January 2020

AbstractGallic acid (GA) has a protective effect on the cardiovascular system. To study its cardiac electrophysiological effects, voltage‐gated Na+ channel currents (INa) were recorded in rat cardiomyocytes using whole‐cell patch clamp techniques. Moreover, the effects of GA on aconitine‐induced arrhythmias were assessed using electrocardiograms in vivo. We found that the current–voltage characteristic curve (I‐V curve) of INa significantly shifted in the presence of 1, 3, and 10 μmol/L of GA. The peak sodium current density (INa‐Peak) was reduced from −84.02 ± 5.68 pA/pF to −65.78 ± 3.96 pA/pF with 1 μmol/L, −54.45 ± 5.18 pA/pF with 3 μmol/L, and −44.20 ± 4.35 pA/pF with 10 μmol/L, respectively. GA shifted the steady‐state activation curve of INa and recovery curve to the right and the steady‐state inactivation curve to the left. The observed inhibitory effect was comparable to that of amiodarone. GA pre‐treatment significantly prolonged the onset of fatal ventricular fibrillation. Our results indicated that GA inhibited INa in rat ventricular myocytes and aconitine‐induced arrhythmias in vivo. These results suggest the potential of GA for development as a novel anti‐arrhythmic therapeutic.
Different paradigms of evidence and knowledge: Recognising, honouring, and celebrating Indigenous ways of knowing and being
Authors: Althaus Catherine 
Published: January 2020

AbstractDebates over evidence‐informed policymaking are predominantly structured from a western paradigm of ontology and epistemology. Other ways of being and knowing are neither privileged by the policy space nor the discipline, certainly not in the same way or to the same degree. This is changing, however, in the face of cultural recognition and with diversity and inclusion agendas and within the contexts of post‐truth politics and the questioning of expertise. This article explores the contribution of Indigenous ways of knowing and being as providing valid, alternative forms of evidence that ought to inform the policymaking process. Australian experience suggests that Indigenous evidence and knowledge offers unique, substantive insights that are offered as ‘gifts’ to inform policy and public administration communities. This contribution is unrecognised and unincorporated into public administration at Australia and the world's peril given that Indigenous approaches offer new exciting ways forward for engagement, sustainability, and policy innovation. It should not be co‐opted or presumed. Indigenous peoples need to be given self‐determination avenues to decide what they wish to share or not, why, and how.

Published: January 2020

AbstractTrichogramma chilonis Ishii (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) and Trichogrammatoidea bactrae Nagaraja (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) are egg parasitoids of the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae). We observed and recorded the walking patterns of T. chilonis and T. bactrae females on leaves of Raphanus sativus L., Brassica juncea (L.) Czern. et Coss., Brassica campestris L. ssp. chinensis var. utilis Tsen et Lee, and Brassica oleracea L. Our analysis indicated that Trichogramma females spent more time and moved more slowly on R. sativus leaf surface, compared with the other vegetable leaf surfaces. In addition, Trichogramma females were more likely to walk in straight line on B. oleracea leaf surfaces than R. sativus, B. juncea, and B. campestris leaf surface. Compared to T. bactrae females, T. chilonis females spent significantly less time on the leaf surface, and the walking path of T. chilonis was less affected by leaf surface characters (e.g., trichomes, wrinkle, and waxes). During the period of residence on the leaf surface, parasitoid females spent more than 87.8% of their time moving. This study demonstrates that vegetable leaf surface can influence Trichogramma's walking pattern while they are foraging for hosts.

Published: January 2020

AbstractThe tobacco whitefly, Bemisia tabaci, is one of the major insects infesting vegetable plants. This pest is well known in Alhassa oasis, Saudi Arabia; which is historically agricultural land cultivated with date palm trees and different vegetables. A molecular key based on the sequence of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase gene CO1 was used for the identification of strains of the tobacco whitefly Bemisia tabaci collected from farms located in four areas of the Alhassa oasis; Northern, Southern, Eastern and Western. Only one biotype (B‐biotype) of B. tabaci was reported in the oasis. Resistance of B. tabaci was tested against eight insecticides, the results showed moderate to low levels of resistance to the tested insecticides. However, the resistance to neonicotinoid insecticides was low and established at 1.3 fold to both Imidacloprid and Acetamiprid. In addition, medium levels of resistance were detected to the insect growth regulator Pyriproxyfen (30 fold), and the pyrethroid Deltamethrin (30 fold), Bifenthrin (24 fold) and Cypermethrin (13 fold). A medium level of resistance was also detected to the carbamate insecticide Carbosulfan and was 40 fold of the laboratory strains. A low level of resistance to the organophosphorus insecticide was detected to Phenthoate (11 fold). However, these results reflect that the farmers were less dependent on the use of insecticides to control B. tabaci in the oasis and they may be implementing other environmentally sound techniques to keep the pest below the damage threshold.

AbstractGridded precipitation datasets are becoming a convenient substitute for gauge measurements in hydrological modeling; however, these data have not been fully evaluated across a range of conditions. We compared four gridded datasets (Daily Surface Weather and Climatological Summaries [DAYMET], North American Land Data Assimilation System [NLDAS], Global Land Data Assimilation System [GLDAS], and Parameter‐elevation Regressions on Independent Slopes Model [PRISM]) as precipitation data sources and evaluated how they affected hydrologic model performance when compared with a gauged dataset, Global Historical Climatology Network‐Daily (GHCN‐D). Analyses were performed for the Delaware Watershed at Perry Lake in eastern Kansas. Precipitation indices for DAYMET and PRISM precipitation closely matched GHCN‐D, whereas NLDAS and GLDAS showed weaker correlations. We also used these precipitation data as input to the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model that confirmed similar trends in streamflow simulation. For stations with complete data, GHCN‐D based SWAT‐simulated streamflow variability better than gridded precipitation data. During low flow periods we found PRISM performed better, whereas both DAYMET and NLDAS performed better in high flow years. Our results demonstrate that combining gridded precipitation sources with gauge‐based measurements can improve hydrologic model performance, especially for extreme events.

AbstractBackgroundAnaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) fusion genes are found in 3%–5% of non‐small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs). ALK inhibitors show a very high response rate to ALK‐positive NSCLCs. However, the emergence of acquired resistance is inevitable. In this study, we investigated the drugs for overcoming resistance especially compound mutations after sequential treatment with crizotinib, alectinib, and lorlatinib.MethodNext‐generation sequencing (NGS) and Sanger sequencing were performed on a liver biopsy tissue obtained from a clinical case. Ba/F3 cells in which mutant EML4‐ALK were overexpressed were prepared, and cell viability assay and immunoblotting were performed to check the sensitivity of five independent ALK inhibitors.ResultsI1171S + G1269A double mutation was identified by NGS and Sanger sequencing on a liver biopsy tissue from a patient who relapsed on lorlatinib treatment. Ceritinib and brigatinib—but not other ALK inhibitors—were active against the compound mutations in the cell line model.ConclusionsWith the sequential ALK inhibitors treatment, cancer cells accumulate new mutations in addition to mutations acquired previously. The identified compound mutation (I1171S + G1269A) was found to be sensitive to ceritinib and brigatinib, and indeed the patient's tumor partially responded to ceritinib.Key points
ALK compound mutation was found in a clinical sample that was resistant to lorlatinib after sequential ALK‐tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatment.
Ceritinib and brigatinib are potential overcoming drugs against ALK I1171S + G1269A double mutation.
