Internet of things in the archives: novel tools for environmental monitoring of archival collections
Authors: Maceli Monica 
Published: February 2020

Purpose
Cultural heritage archives rely on environmental monitoring devices, such as dataloggers or more complex networked systems, to ensure collection preservation through collecting temperature, humidity, light and/or air quality measures. Existing systems are often costly, inflexible and do not use a modern, internet of things (IoT) approach. This paper aims to determine the suitability of currently popular general-purpose IoT devices, standards and technologies to the environmental monitoring needs of archivists, as well as identify any challenges.

Design/methodology/approach
This paper describes an exploratory study detailing the design, construction and usability testing of a do-it-yourself datalogger and data dashboard system, which seeks to manage previously identified trade-offs in cost, required technical skill and maintainability.

Findings
The environmental monitoring system presented met archivists’ needs well and was generally noted to be easy-to-use, efficient and an improvement on existing systems. This suggests that an IoT approach can support archivists’ needs in this area.

Research limitations/implications
Potential limitations of this study include lack of archival staff with sufficient technical training to maintain such a system and the rapid pace of IoT evolution yielding unstable and constantly changing technologies.

Practical implications
The system design presented in this work provides a blueprint for cultural heritage organizations desiring a fuller-featured, lower cost environmental monitoring system for archival collections.

Originality/value
This research takes a novel user-centered, open-source, IoT approach to construct an environmental monitoring system that is designed directly from archivists’ requirements and is extensible for future needs.

Published: February 2020

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the perception of professors, students, administrative staff and academic directors about social responsibility in four universities of Rio Grande do Norte (RN) – Brazil.

Design/methodology/approach
The research was carried out in four universities in RN, Brazil. A survey was conducted with 1,318 students, 118 members of the administrative team, 104 professors and 29 academic directors, to whom a Likert-type questionnaire was applied, with 65 items allocated in seven dimensions as follows: organizational governance, human rights, work practices, environment, legal practices, consumer issues and community involvement and development. Exploratory factorial analysis and Cronbach’s alpha were the statistics used to analyze the data.

Findings
The research showed difficulties in assessing social responsibility aspects because of the lack of discussion and little socialization and debate of the data. Concerning everyday issues such as student service, environment issues, working conditions and local development is an exception because they have explicit opinions and often negative perceptions.

Research limitations/implications
The data used were self-reported they were subjected to bias, such as self-attribution and selective perception by community members. The lack of a theoretical model of social responsibility to study a non-profit organization. This study offers a theoretical contribution to analyzing six variables in non-profit organizations.

Practical implications
The data collection instrument also contribute to Brazilian universities can meet the evaluation criteria of higher education institutions in Brazil by Law 10.861/04, which established the national higher education evaluation system.

Social implications
This contribution allowed the authors to understand, which of them find the most consensus among stakeholders and which are the most contradictory, as well as to promote improvements in the implementation of social responsibility policies. The proposal of the instrument results in concrete actions for the adoption of the university, to accelerate the implementation of ISO 26000 in its statutes.

Originality/value
The study on social responsibility at universities of RN, Brazil, under dimensions of organizational governance, human rights, work practices, environment, legal practices, consumer issues, and community involvement and development is innovative and supports other universities to think their processes and better contribute in training new generations of citizens and professionals.
Knowledge sharing and the theory of planned behavior: a meta-analysis review
Authors: Afshar Jalili Yasha , Ghaleh Samaneh 
Published: February 2020

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to summarize the application of the theory of planned behavior (TPB) in predicting knowledge sharing behavior (KSB) based on a systematic literature review.Design/methodology/approachA meta-analysis was applied as a research methodology, and 47 studies were included in this study with a total population of 15,528 people (mean = 353). The authors summarized previous studies which used the TPB for predicting (KSB).FindingsFindings reveal that KSB is determined jointly by knowledge-sharing intention (KSI) and perceived behavioral control (PBC). Intention itself is a function of attitude toward knowledge sharing, subjective norm surrounding knowledge sharing and PBC to perform KSB.Practical implicationsThe primary implication of this meta-analysis is to deeply interpret the essence of KSB r and its determinants, in which managers can foster the conduction of this valuable behavior in their organizations. However, as a limitation, a remarkable threat to validity in the existing literature is a potential “cooperation bias” in which participants likely overestimate their knowledge sharing intention and knowledge sharing behavior. In future studies, this limitation can be addressed by measuring actual KSB.Originality/valueThis study is the first meta-analysis conducted to investigate the prediction power of the TPB for determining KSB. While there are several contradictions reported in the researches which used the TPB in the knowledge-sharing context, this research has summarized and reported the results.

Published: February 2020

AbstractIntroductionCoal mine dust lung disease (CMDLD), including the pneumoconioses, dust‐related diffuse fibrosis (DDF) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), are occupational lung diseases attributed to respirable coal mine dust. Following the re‐identification of CMDLD in Queensland in 2015, we undertook a case series to understand their radiological presentation.MethodsChest radiographs and high‐resolution computed tomography (HRCT) were retrospectively reviewed for 79 male individuals diagnosed by a respiratory physician with a CMDLD since 2015. Radiological findings were characterised as per the International Labour Office Classification System (ILO system) and the International Classification of HRCT for Occupational and Environmental Respiratory Diseases (ICOERD).ResultsSubjects with pneumoconiosis (n = 56) demonstrated widespread opacities with bilateral upper zone predominance. The majority of the lung was impacted, with 72% and 79% of zones demonstrating opacities on chest radiograph and HRCT, respectively. Most pneumoconiosis subjects (71%) demonstrated ILO category 1 disease, while 29% had advanced disease (ILO grades ≥ 2/1). A high proportion (81%) of pneumoconiosis subjects demonstrated at least one radiological feature associated with exposure to respirable crystalline silica (RCS). DDF subjects (n = 5) had radiologically severe disease (mean ILO 2/1) with lower zone‐predominant irregular opacities. Widespread emphysema, with no zone dominance, was the key radiological feature in those with COPD (n = 18).ConclusionRadiological findings of particular interest included the high burden of opacities observed and the presence of RCS‐associated features in the majority of subjects. Radiologists are at the front line in occupational lung disease screening/diagnosis and must be aware of the imaging spectrum.

Renal cell carcinoma with sarcomatoid differentiation (RCCs) is rare, accounting for 1–8% of all RCC histological subtypes. In this study, we examined 139 patients with RCCs and aimed to explore their clinicopathologic features and prognostic factors. From January 2007 to January 2019, patients who were pathologically diagnosed with RCCs were included in this retrospective study. Data on clinicopathologic features and overall survival were collected. The expression of CK, vimentin, CK7, and CD10 in the sarcomatoid regions of RCCs was detected. The Kaplan–Meier curves and log‐rank tests were used to describe the effect of clinicopathologic characteristics on overall survival. A Cox regression model was used to evaluate risk factors for prognosis. A total of 139 patients with RCCs were identified. The median age at diagnosis was 60 years. The median survival time of all patients was 39 months. The three‐ and five‐year survival rates were 50.2% and 44.0%, respectively. A high pathologic T stage (pT3 and pT4), microvascular invasion, and lymph node metastasis were significant predictors of prognosis. Pathologic T4 stage and lymph node metastasis were independent prognostic factors for overall survival in patients with RCCs. Furthermore, the expression of CD10 was a prognostic factor for overall survival. In this study, a relatively large cohort of patients with RCCs was analyzed. We summarized the clinicopathologic features of RCCs and explored the risk factors for prognosis. Our findings may provide valuable prediction for clinical strategy.

Published: February 2020

SummaryBackgroundHistologic healing is emerging as a new therapeutic goal in both routine practice and clinical trials in ulcerative colitis (UC). However, it requires repeated endoscopies and biopsies. Faecal calprotectin is a non‐invasive marker of mucosal healing (endoscopic and histologic healing).AimTo conduct a systematic review to clarify the correlation between faecal calprotectin levels and histologic activity in UC patients.MethodsWe searched PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE and Web of Science through September 2019 to identify studies in patients with confirmed diagnosis of UC, reporting the correlation between faecal calprotectin levels and histologic analysis.ResultsTwelve studies enrolling 1168 patients were included in the final review. Histologic remission was defined according to nonvalidated scores in five articles and using partially validated scores in seven articles. Faecal calprotectin values were measured in 6 of 12 studies (50%) with the same kit, while the remaining six studies adopted individually different kits. A clear correlation between faecal calprotectin levels and histology was showed in all included studies. Eleven different faecal calprotectin cut‐off points were identified to distinguish histological remission from histological activity, ranging from 40.5 to 250 μg/g.ConclusionsFaecal calprotectin can be used to predict histologic remission in patients with UC, but the cut‐off level varies across studies, according to the test used to measure this biomarker and according to the definition of histologic remission. Larger prospective studies using validated histologic indexes are needed to identify a globally accepted faecal calprotectin cut‐off level to discriminate between histologic remission and histologically active disease.

AbstractObjectiveTo evaluate the genetic association between rs16969968 and lung cancer risk by meta‐analysis.Data sourceWe searched eligible studies from MEDLINE, Web of Science and EMBASE up to Dec, 2017.Study selectionAssociation studies concerning rs16969968 and lung cancer risk were included. We assessed the association strength between this polymorphism and risk of lung cancer by calculating odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence interval (95%CI).ResultsA total of 26 data sets comprising 30 772 lung cancers and 90 954 controls were included. rs16969968 was found to be associated with lung cancer risk in population of European ancestry in all models (A vs. G: OR = 1.30, 95%CI 1.27‐1.33, P < 0.001; AA + GA vs. GG: OR = 1.38, 95%CI 1.33‐1.43, P < 0.001; AA vs. GG + GA: OR = 1.45, 95%CI 1.38‐1.53, P < 0.001), consistent with previous genome‐wide association study (GWAS). However, no association was observed in Asians (A vs. G: OR = 1.19. 95%CI 0.95‐1.49, P = 0.131). The minor allele A may increase the risk of lung cancer in both smokers (OR = 1.33, 95%CI 1.29‐1.39, P < 0.001) and nonsmokers (OR = 1.25, 95%CI 1.12‐1.39, P < 0.001). There was no obvious publication bias in all analyses.ConclusionsOur analysis provided more evidence that rs16969968 is a susceptibility locus of lung cancer in the Caucasians and that it may be not associated with the risk in the Asians.

AbstractEarly conversion from a calcineurin inhibitor to belatacept has the potential to improve long‐term renal allograft function; however, there remains limited experience with this strategy among African Americans and patients with preformed donor‐specific antibodies (DSA). To examine these subgroups, we performed a single‐center review of kidney transplant recipients converted to belatacept within 1‐year of transplant between 01/2011 and 10/2017. All patients received lymphocyte‐depleting induction with maintenance tacrolimus and mycophenolate +/− corticosteroids. Patients were switched to belatacept for clinical indication and followed from date of conversion until allograft failure or study conclusion. The primary endpoint at 1‐year was a composite of allograft loss, biopsy proven rejection, de novo DSA formation, proteinuria, and declining renal function. Thirty‐two patients were included in the review. The majority were African American, and 28.1% had DSA at transplant. Patient and allograft survival at 1‐year was 96.9% and 93.8%, respectively, and estimated glomerular filtration rate improved from 41.9 to 58.4 mL/min. No African Americans or patients with pretreatment DSA developed rejection or allograft failure within 1‐year. The only clinical variable correlated with suboptimal allograft function was baseline weight ≥80 kg (OR = 6.2; 95% CI, 1.2‐32.3). Early conversion to belatacept appears safe for select patients with DSA and African Americans receiving lymphocyte‐depleting induction.

Published: February 2020

AbstractA 10‐day‐old infant was evaluated for heart failure and differential cyanosis. Type A interrupted aortic arch with duct‐dependent lower body circulation was identified. There was associated type 2 aortopulmonary window which led to a “Valentine on a crab” appearance on echocardiography. Pattern recognition in imaging is useful for early identification of anomalies and for triaging appropriate evaluation and management.
The emergence of beech leaf disease in Ohio: Probing the plant microbiome in search of the cause
Authors: Burke David J. , Hoke Adam J. , Koch Jennifer 
Published: February 2020

AbstractAmerican beech (Fagus grandifolia) is the target of a newly emerging disease in North America called beech leaf disease (BLD) that affects and disfigures leaves and which can lead to tree mortality. Beech leaf disease may be caused by a newly recognized subspecies of the anguinid nematode Litylenchus crenatae subsp. mccannii, but the associations of this nematode with bacterial and fungal taxa are unknown. We examined microbial communities associated with beech leaves affected by BLD in a 16‐year‐old American beech plantation using molecular methods. We detected L. crenatae subsp. mccannii in anywhere from 45% to 90% of leaves depending on the degree of visual BLD symptoms. Approximately 37% of asymptomatic leaves contained L. crenatae subsp. mccannii, whereas 90% of buds associated with symptomatic leaves contained L. crenatae subsp. mccannii. We found that fungal communities on leaves and buds were unaffected by BLD, but bud and leaves had significantly different fungal communities. Bacterial communities on buds also were unaffected by BLD, but bacterial communities were significantly different between symptomatic and asymptomatic leaves suggesting that the nematode could be altering the community of bacteria on the leaves. Clone libraries indicate that Wolbachia, an intracellular endosymbiont of arthropods, was found only on symptomatic leaves and buds associated with either symptomatic or asymptomatic leaves. In addition, only symptomatic leaves contained taxa in the genus Mucilaginibacter, which previous studies suggest could produce exopolysaccharides. These bacterial taxa could represent a marker for the vector of L. crenatae subsp. mccannii that enables spread between trees and a possible endosymbiont that could facilitate nematode feeding and establishment on nematode infested leaves. Our results are the first to examine changes to the leaf microbiome of this newly emerging pest and may aid identification of mechanisms associated with the spread and success of L. crenatae subsp. mccanni.

AbstractMany pathogens interact and evolve in communities where more than one host species is present, yet our understanding of host–pathogen specialization is mostly informed by laboratory studies with single species. Managing diseases in the wild, however, requires understanding how host–pathogen specialization affects hosts in diverse communities. Juvenile salmonid mortality in hatcheries caused by infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) has important implications for salmonid conservation programs. Here, we evaluate evidence for IHNV specialization on three salmonid hosts and assess how this influences intra‐ and interspecific transmission in hatchery‐reared salmonids. We expect that while more generalist viral lineages should pose an equal risk of infection across host types, viral specialization will increase intraspecific transmission. We used Bayesian models and data from 24 hatcheries in the Columbia River Basin to reconstruct the exposure history of hatcheries with two IHNV lineages, MD and UC, allowing us to estimate the probability of juvenile infection with these lineages in three salmonid host types. Our results show that lineage MD is specialized on steelhead trout and perhaps rainbow trout (both Oncorhynchus mykiss), whereas lineage UC displayed a generalist phenotype across steelhead trout, rainbow trout, and Chinook salmon. Furthermore, our results suggest the presence of specialist–generalist trade‐offs because, while lineage UC had moderate probabilities of infection across host types, lineage MD had a small probability of infection in its nonadapted host type, Chinook salmon. Thus, in addition to quantifying probabilities of infection of socially and economically important salmonid hosts with different IHNV lineages, our results provide insights into the trade‐offs that viral lineages incur in multihost communities. Our results suggest that knowledge of the specialist/generalist strategies of circulating viral lineages could be useful in salmonid conservation programs to control disease.
Determinants of soil organic carbon sequestration and its contribution to ecosystem carbon sinks of planted forests
Authors: Wang Shiqiang , Huang Yao 
Published: February 2020

AbstractThe area of forest established through afforestation/reforestation has been increasing on a global scale, which is particularly important as these planted forests attenuate climate change by sequestering carbon. However, the determinants of soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration and their contribution to the ecosystem carbon sink of planted forests remain uncertain. By using globally distributed data extracted from 154 peer‐reviewed publications and a total of 355 sampling points, we investigated above‐ground biomass carbon (ABC) sequestration and SOC sequestration across three different climatic zones (tropical, warm temperate, and cold temperate) through correlation analysis, regression models, and structural equation modeling (SEM). We found that the proportion of SOC sequestration in the ecosystem C sequestration averaged 14.1% globally, being the highest (27.0%) in the warm temperate and the lowest (10.7%) in the tropical climatic zones. The proportion was mainly affected by latitude. The sink rate of ABC (RABC) in tropical climates (2.48 Mg C ha−1 year−1) and the sink rate of SOC (RSOC) in warm temperate climates (0.96 Mg C ha−1 year−1) were higher than other climatic zones. The main determinants of RSOC were the number of frost‐free days, latitude, mean annual precipitation (MAP), and SOC density (SOCD) at the initial observation; however, these variables depended on the climatic zone. According to the SEM, frost‐free period, mean annual temperature (MAT) and MAP are the dominant driving factors affecting RSOC in Chinese plantations. MAT has a positive effect on RSOC, and global warming may increase RSOC of temperate plantations in China. Our findings highlight the determinants of SOC sequestration and quantitatively reveal the substantial global contribution of SOC sequestration to ecosystem carbon sink provided by planted forests. Our results help managers identify and control key factors to increase carbon sequestration in forest ecosystems.
