Avoiding the ask on social media: investigating how process-related factors influence SNS donation avoidance
Authors: Li Xiaodong , Zhang Chen , Chen Juan , Zhang Shengliang 
Published: November 2020

PurposeThe domain of monetary donation is evolving with the combination of professional donation platforms and social network sites (SNSs) in the agency process, potentially enhancing information communication and facilitating money transfers between donors and recipients. However, SNS donation avoidance hinders the leveraging of significant economic and social values. To address the limited understanding of the phenomenon of SNS donation avoidance, this study aims to investigate the influencing factors of people's avoidance behavior in the agency process of SNS donation.Design/methodology/approachA model was devised containing four process-related factors (requests overload, process ambiguity, channel security concerns and perceived distributive injustice) as antecedents of SNS donation avoidance, with probable mediating paths of negative emotions, altruistic outcome expectation and egoistic outcome expectation. Data were collected through a survey of 398 users of WeChat Moment in China. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the proposed model.FindingsAll four process-related factors have positive associations with SNS donation avoidance. Requests overload, channel security concerns and perceived distributive injustice all positively influence people's expectation of negative emotions and lead, in turn, to their SNS donation avoidance. Perceived distributive injustice also leads to SNS donation avoidance via negatively influencing people's expectations of both altruistic and egoistic outcomes.Originality/valueTheoretically, this empirical study synthetically associates process-related factors to donation avoidance through the paths of emotional responses and rational outcome expectations. Practically, it emphasizes key factors to consider in the process management of SNS donation.
Impact of the volatility of resource revenue on non-resource revenue volatility
Authors: Gnangnon Sena Kimm 
Published: November 2020

PurposeThis paper investigates the effect of the volatility of resource revenue on the volatility of non-resource revenue.Design/methodology/approachThe empirical analysis has utilized an unbalanced panel data set comprising 54 countries over the period 1980–2015. The two-step system generalized methods of moments (GMM) is the main economic approach used to carry out the empirical analysis.FindingsResults show that resource revenue volatility generates lower non-resource revenue volatility only when the share of resource revenue in total public revenue is lower than 18%. Otherwise, higher resource revenue volatility would result in a rise in non-resource revenue volatility.Research limitations/implicationsIn light of the adverse effect of volatility of non-resource revenue on public spending, and hence on economic growth and development prospects, countries whose total public revenue is highly dependent on resource revenue should adopt appropriate policies to ensure the rise in non-resource revenue, as well as the stability of the latter.Practical implicationsEconomic diversification in resource-rich countries (particularly in developing countries among them) could contribute to reducing the dependence of economies on natural resources, and hence the dependence of public revenue on resource revenue. Therefore, policies in favour of economic diversification would contribute to stabilizing non-resource revenue, which is essential for financing development needs.Originality/valueTo the best of our knowledge, this topic has not been addressed in the literature.
Development and validation of the trainee rated impact of involvement index (TRIple-I) in clinical psychology training
Authors: Holttum Sue , Lea Laura , Strohmaier Sarah 
Published: November 2020

Purpose
Previous research suggests that service user and carer involvement (SUCI) in clinical psychology training may have an impact. The purpose of this study was to develop a validated questionnaire to enable trainee clinical psychologists to rate this.

Design/methodology/approach
A collaborative project was carried out with service users and carers and trainee clinical psychologists. The principles of questionnaire design were followed. The authors developed and validated a trainee self-report questionnaire, based on focus groups and relevant literature indicating potential impacts of involvement on practice. A draft 60-item version was piloted with 15 trainee clinical psychologists. Then, 133 trainees from 22 UK clinical psychology courses completed it (estimated response rate of 13.2%). The sample was representative of UK trainees in gender and ethnicity, but slightly older.

Findings
The principal component analysis produced a 36-item questionnaire with four factors: human communication, carer perspectives, empathy and challenging/changing. The questionnaire showed good internal consistency and test-retest reliability. Stakeholder consultation suggested face and content validity and there was some indication of construct validity.

Originality/value
The project has resulted in a usable co-produced questionnaire, which is now available to clinical psychology courses to assess the self-reported impact of SUCI in training, and which may also be used in future research.

PurposeThis study aimed at exploring the antecedents of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers' self-efficacy (SE). That is, the main purpose was to deeply delve into the main variables and latent which lead to a high sense of SE among teachers of English as a foreign language.Design/methodology/approachA phenomenological inquiry was employed to explore the antecedents of language teachers from their eyes. In this study, the phenomenon is SE antecedents. The researchers employed this method to help identify the meaning behind the human experience as it is related to a phenomenon or notable collective occurrence. A semistructured interview checklist was developed, carefully worded, reviewed by five teacher educators known as experts in qualitative research methodology and teacher education and edited based on the experts' feedbackFindingsThe findings showed that the antecedents of SE can be categorized into personal variables, educational variables and institutional variables. Personal variables include verbal intelligence, language proficiency and some other traits. The institutional variables include support from administration, support from colleagues, support from the community and quality of work life. The educational antecedents include preservice and in-service training courses. Preservice training courses included the following: the courses on general language skills, courses on teaching methods, practicum courses, etc.Originality/valueThis study was undertaken in a specific context and the participants are specific. Almost all studies on SE are quantitative, and this qualitative study explored the antecedents of teachers' SE from their own eyes. Some of the explored studies were not mentioned in any of the related studies.
Dynamics of social identity and cultural intelligence in acculturative adaptation of an ethnic minority group in India
Authors: Sharma Namrata , Hussain Dilwar 
Published: November 2020

AbstractThis study evaluated the main and interactive effects of social identity and cultural intelligence on the acculturative adaptation of an ethnic minority diaspora in India. This cross‐sectional survey study (N = 246, 58.5% female, mean age = 26.7 years) focused on the dichotomy of ethnic and national aspects of social identity of the northeast Indian diaspora in Indian cities outside the northeastern region. Path analysis showed that identification of the national group predicted adaptation and cultural intelligence positively moderated that association. The ethnic identity had no main effects on adaptation and reported adaptive outcomes only through its interaction with cultural intelligence. This study reveals that pursuing bi‐cultural identity is not a sufficient condition for adaptation, particularly in prejudiced acculturation contexts where the dominant social groups may not espouse multiculturalism. Here, cultural intelligence is a vital skill that facilitates adaptive outcomes of an integrated bi‐cultural identity for ethnic minority groups.

Authors: Munera‐Campos Mónica , Bielsa Isabel , Martínez‐Morillo Melania , Aparicio Gloria , Olivé Alejandro , Ferrándiz Carlos 
Published: November 2020

ZusammenfassungHintergrund und ZieleDie kutane Polyarteriitis nodosa (CPAN) ist eine relativ seltene Vaskulitis, die kleine Arterien und Arteriolen im Unterhautfettgewebe und in der dermo‐subkutanen Übergangszone befällt. Über ihren Verlauf liegen für die europäische Bevölkerung nur wenige Daten vor. Ziel dieser Studie ist es, Manifestationen und Prognoseparameter für ein Rezidiv bei CPAN zu beschreiben.Patienten und MethodenWir stellen eine retrospektive Studie an Patienten mit klinischer und histologischer Evidenz für CPAN vor, die zwischen 1989 und 2019 in zwei tertiären Referenzzentren in Spanien behandelt wurden.ErgebnisseEingeschlossen waren 31 Patienten. Die häufigste Manifestation waren subkutane Knoten (90,3 %). Zum Zeitpunkt der Diagnose traten häufig Ulzera auf (35,5 %). Bei zwei Dritteln der Patienten lag mindestens eine extrakutane Manifestation vor. Siebzehn Patienten (54,8 %) erlitten ein Rezidiv. Der stärkste Prädiktor für ein Rezidiv waren Ulzerationen in der ersten Episode (OR 18,6; 95%‐KI 2,73–38; p < 0,01). Entzündungsassoziierte Laborparameter (wie C‐reaktives Protein und Neutrophilen/Lymphozyten‐Verhältnis) vor der Behandlung waren bei der Gruppe mit Rezidiv signifikant höher. Krankheitsbedingte Todesfälle traten nicht auf und kein Patient entwickelte eine systemische PAN.SchlussfolgerungCPAN ist eine auf die Haut begrenzte Vaskulitis. Jedoch können die Symptome auf benachbarte Skelettmuskeln oder periphere Nerven übergreifen. Die Krankheit ist nicht lebensbedrohlich, jedoch sind Ulzerationen und der Anstieg bestimmter Laborparameter mit einer schlechten Prognose assoziiert.
Forschung in der Praxis: Onkogene GNAQ‐Mutationen als therapeutischer Angriffspunkt beim Uveamelanom
Authors: Gaffal Evelyn 
Published: November 2020

ZusammenfassungDas Uveamelanom hat eine schlechte Prognose und ist die häufigste Form von Augenkrebs. Obwohl der Primärtumor in den meisten Fällen durch lokale Operation oder Strahlentherapie effektiv behandelt werden kann, entwickeln mehr als 50 % der Patienten systemische Metastasen insbesondere in der Leber. Im Gegensatz zum kutanen Melanom steht für das metastasierte Uveamelanom keine Standardbehandlung zur Verfügung. Vor kurzem wurden bei etwa 85 % der Uveamelanome onkogene Treibermutationen in GNAQ oder GNA11 identifiziert, die zu einer konstitutiven Aktivierung des Gαq/11‐Signalwegs und seiner nachgeschalteten Effektoren führen. Der direkte zielgerichtete Eingriff in die deregulierte Gαq/11‐Signalgebung könnte daher eine Therapieoption für Patienten mit Uveamelanom sein. In unserer Studie konnten wir das zyklische Depsipeptid FR‐900359, das aus der immergrünen Pflanze Ardisia crenata isoliert wurde, als wirksamen Inhibitor konstitutiv aktiver Gαq/11‐Proteine und ihrer nachgeschalteten Zielmoleküle identifizieren. Obwohl unsere Daten noch vorläufig sind, könnten sie zu einer zukünftigen Behandlungsoption für Patienten mit metastasiertem Uveamelanom beitragen.

Published: November 2020

ZusammenfassungHintergrund und Ziele:Die Lichturtikaria ist eine seltene Photodermatose, deren Diagnostik und Therapie bisher nicht vereinheitlicht ist. Ziel dieser Arbeit war es, innovative Strahlenquellen zur Diagnostik zu verwenden, deren Emissionsspektren und Dosen definiert und reproduzierbar sind, sowie ein einheitliches Therapiestufenschema zu entwickeln.Patienten und Methodik:In einer longitudinalen Studie wurden 27 Patienten mit Lichturtikaria über 13 Jahre untersucht. Bei charakteristischer Anamnese erfolgte die Diagnosesicherung mit Photoprovokationen durch verschiedene Strahlenquellen (UVB, UVB311nm, UVA, UVA1, Grünlich, Rotlicht) sowie ein Therapiestufenschema aus Lichtschutz, Antihistaminika, Rush‐Hardening mit UVA‐1 sowie die Gabe von Omalizumab.Ergebnisse:Aktionsspektren: UVB 44 %, UVA 70 %, UVA1 89 %, Grünlicht 37 % und 22 % Rotlicht. Bei 20 Patienten wurde ein Rush‐Hardening mit anschließender Erhaltungstherapie durchgeführt, wobei 17 hierdurch ausreichend geschützt waren. Bei drei weiteren wurde zusätzlich Omalizumab verabreicht.Schlussfolgerungen:Die Photoprovokation mit UVB, UVB311nm, UVA, UVA‐1 und sichtbarem Licht ist in jeder Hautklinik mit einer Lichtabteilung einheitlich möglich. Anhand des Therapiestufenschemas können die Patienten gut eingestellt werden. Ein Rush‐Hardening mit dem UVA‐1‐Metallhalogenstrahler mit konsekutiver Erhaltungstherapie ist eine sichere Methode, der Mehrheit der Patienten über die sonnenreiche Jahreszeit zu helfen. Bei unzureichender Effektivität ist Omalizumab eine weitere Therapieoption mit guter Wirksamkeit, die momentan nur im Off‐label‐Use möglich ist.
Trajectories of Hybrid Governance: Legitimacy, Order and Leadership in India
Authors: Wenner Miriam 
Published: November 2020

ABSTRACTThis article analyses the relationships between legitimacy, leadership and stability of hybrid orders in spaces of contested state authority. Complementing studies on public authority, the analysis builds on the observation that hybrid orders are often violent and unstable. The article goes beyond the one‐sided views of legitimacy that focus on the legitimating registers of non‐state governing authorities and which ignore for the most part the perceptions and evaluations of such strategies by the governed. It does so by conceptualizing legitimacy as a relational property, which emerges between governing authorities and the governed. Drawing on a case study from Darjeeling in West Bengal, India (where hybrid order appears in the domains of development and security), this article finds that non‐state leaders tend to withdraw from hybrid agreements in order to regain legitimacy and trust when confronted with threats to their regional dominance. The stability of hybrid orders is not only dependent on the abilities of competing authorities to adapt to changing and conflicting normative and factual demands of their constituents, but is also an outcome of the struggle over the normative and moral bases of such evaluations.
Correlation between octopaminergic signalling and foraging task specialisation in honeybees

Published: November 2020

AbstractRegulation of pollen and nectar foraging in honeybees is linked to differences in the sensitivity to the reward. Octopamine (OA) participates in the processing of reward‐related information in the bee brain, being a candidate to mediate and modulate the division of labour among pollen and nectar foragers. Here we tested the hypothesis that OA affects the resource preferences of foragers. We first investigated whether oral administration of OA is involved in the transition from nectar to pollen foraging. We quantified the percentage of OA‐treated bees that switched from a sucrose solution to a pollen feeder when the sugar concentration was decreased experimentally. We also evaluated if feeding the colonies sucrose solution containing OA increases the rate of bees collecting pollen. Finally, we quantified OA and tyramine (TYR) receptor genes expression of pollen and nectar foragers in different parts of the brain, as a putative mechanism that affects the decision‐making process regarding the resource type collected. Adding OA in the food modified the probability that foragers switch from nectar to pollen collection. The proportion of pollen foragers also increased after feeding colonies with OA‐containing food. Furthermore, the expression level of the AmoctαR1 was upregulated in foragers arriving at pollen sources compared with those arriving at sugar‐water feeders. Using age‐matched pollen and nectar foragers that returned to the hive, we detected an upregulated expression of a TYR receptor gene in the suboesophageal ganglia. These findings support our prediction that OA signalling affects the decision in honeybee foragers to collect pollen or nectar.
Transmission electron microscopy study of extended defect evolution and amorphization in SiC under Si ion irradiation
Authors: Costantini Jean‐Marc , Ribis Joël 
Published: November 2020

ABSTRACTThe damage induced in 3C‐SiC epilayers on a silicon wafer by 2.3‐MeV Si ion irradiation for fluences of 1014, 1015, and 1016 cm−2, was studied by conventional and high‐resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM/HRTEM). The evolution of extended defects and lattice disorder is followed in both the 3C‐SiC film and Si substrate as a function of ion fluence, with reference to previous FTIR spectroscopy data. The likelihood of athermal unfaulting of native stacking faults by point defect migration to the native stacking faults is discussed in relation to damage recovery. Threshold energy densities and irradiation doses for dislocation loop formation and amorphous phase transformation are deduced from the damage depth profile by nuclear collisions. The role of electronic excitations on the damage recovery at high fluence is also addressed for both SiC and Si.

Published: November 2020

AbstractUpconversion (UC) luminescence modulation is quite important in controlling and processing light for active components of light sources, photoswitches, optical memories, and optical sensing devices. In this work, we reported one kind of novel phosphor, Ho3+/Yb3+‐doped SrBi4Ti4O15 ceramics, which displayed both strong UC luminescence and obvious photochromic (PC) reaction. The UC luminescence, PC effect, and the modulation of UC performance based on PC behavior were investigated in detail. By alternating visible light irradiation and thermal stimulus, the UC luminescence could be reversibly regulated. Meanwhile, the modulation was unveiled to tightly rely on the irradiation time and thermal treatment processes. Excellent reproducibility was also achieved. In addition, as an alternative method to thermal treatment, the manipulation of luminescence by electric field was also explored. Finally, the mechanism related to the UC luminescence manipulation was illustrated. The results indicate that these samples could be potentially utilized in optical data storage and anti‐counterfeiting security fields.

AbstractIn order to solve the problems of the labor cost and the low mechanization level in the intensive processing of the haw products, a haw core removal machine based on the buoyancy orientation was designed, which solved the two key technical problems including the oriented conveying and the core removal in its coring process. The effects of different cutting edge structures on the force on the pulp and the shape of the final pulp were studied, and the effects of the haw's own shape and the medium flow velocity on the orientation righting rate were analyzed. The results showed that the ratio of height to diameter had a direct effect on the orientation righting rate of hawthorn, and the two unstable equilibrium points could be improved by increasing the flow velocity of the medium. The prototype experiment showed that the buoyancy oriented conveying was a feasible and effective method in the processing of the small‐scale fruit with the uniaxial symmetry such as the haw. In the same scale of the haw core removal processing, its production capacity could be increased by about 30%. The research results provided a basis for the follow‐up improvement of the automatic haw core removal machine.Practical applicationsThe traditional haw deep processing enterprises mostly use manual or semi‐automatic equipment for the haw core removal, which greatly restricts the production efficiency of enterprises. The present study provides an automatic haw core removal processing equipment based on the buoyancy orientation mechanism and gives the optimal cutting edge structure. The experimental results show that the main factors affecting the haw orientation and centering are the shape of the haw and the flow velocity. Furthermore, on the basis of orthogonal experiment, the process parameter surface of the orientation righting rate is established, which can provide reference for the subsequent design of the haw core removal machine and the optimization of the process parameters in the production process.
Why do life insurance policyholders lapse? The roles of income, health, and bequest motive shocks
Authors: Fang Hanming , Kung Edward 
Published: November 2020

AbstractWe present and empirically implement a dynamic discrete choice model of life insurance decisions to assess the importance of various factors in explaining life insurance lapsation. We estimate a model using information on life insurance holdings from the Health and Retirement Study. Counterfactual simulations using the estimates of our model suggest that a large fraction of life insurance lapsations are driven by idiosyncratic shocks, uncorrelated with health, income, and bequest motives, particularly when policyholders are relatively young. As the remaining policyholders get older, however, the role of such independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) shocks gets smaller, and more of their lapsation is driven by income, health, or bequest motive shocks. As anticipated, income and health shocks are relatively more important than bequest motive shocks in explaining lapsation when policyholders are young, with bequest motive shocks playing a more important role as we age.
