Motivations and challenges with the diffusion of additive manufacturing through a non-profit association
Authors: Stentoft Jan , Philipsen Kristian , Haug Anders , Wickstrøm Kent Adsbøll 
Published: November 2020

PurposeAdditive manufacturing (AM) is one technology among the many under the umbrella of Industry 4.0 technologies. AM is developing rapidly, and extant research reveals that the technology contains possibilities for firms to develop competitive advantages, but that it also poses several challenges to overcome before such benefits can be achieved. To provide further insight into this topic, this paper aims to analyse how a business association can disseminate knowledge and experience about AM to its members.Design/methodology/approachThe paper is based on 13 interviews from 11 different organisations within an embedded single-case study of a Danish non-profit business association.FindingsThe paper identifies 12 motivational factors for joining the association as well as seven perceived challenges in the current setup of the association. The paper demonstrates that barriers to the use of AM can be reduced through participation in a business association.Research limitations/implicationsThe paper is based on a single-case study design and does not provide a foundation for statistical generalisations. The challenges identified are biased towards the companies that are members and do not represent companies that either consciously or unconsciously are not part of the association.Practical implicationsBeing aware of the barriers for AM is important to optimize the benefits of joining a business association. However, operating such an association with the purpose of disseminating AM knowledge involves the inherent dilemma of protecting knowledge for the individual members, and at the same time, fostering knowledge sharing.Originality/valueThe paper provides novel data on how a business association can help mitigate perceived barriers to using AM.

Published: November 2020

PurposeThis study provides empirical evidences on the relationship between business strategy and micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) performance. Additionally, the study aims to explore the role of innovation and accounting information systems (AISs) in the strategy performance linkage among MSMEs in Indonesia.Design/methodology/approachA questionnaire-based survey was conducted, which produced 102 valid responses. Surveys were distributed to MSME owners throughout Solo, Yogyakarta and Semarang, Indonesia. Data were analyzed by using structural equation model with partial least squares.FindingsThe result shows that business strategy has indirect impacts on MSMEs' performance. Both innovation and AIS positively mediate the relationship between business strategy and MSMEs’ performance.Research limitations/implicationsThe performance variable was measured based on the owners' perception. This makes the results not to be reflective of the real performance situation.Practical implicationsAlignment between strategy and innovation plays a vital role in improving the performance of MSMEs. The differentiation strategy that focuses on product uniqueness and quality requires innovation to add value to the product and the customer. The innovation process is at high risk of failure, so MSMEs owners need accurate calculations in decision making. AISs are part of management control to reduce risk by identifying standards and directing organizational goals.Originality/valueThis study considers the contingency factors in the relationship between strategy and performance by providing innovation variables and AIS.
Learning sustainable work through critical design: a case study of a hackathon to prepare the future workforce
Authors: Islind Anna Sigridur , Norström Livia 
Published: November 2020

PurposeThis paper aims to explore the future of work by investigating how work can be practiced to meet global sustainability goals. The authors draw from empirical findings from a case of critical design session with university students. The aim of the design session was, on the one hand, to embed sustainability into education and, on the other hand, to prepare students with necessary conceptual tools to be prepared for future work. The research questions explored are: What do students learn through engagement in critical design, and how can that foster sustainable work?Design/methodology/approachThe research approach is a case study, drawing on critical design activities with 45 students at a university course. The data consists of students’ reflections on their design efforts and one researcher’s field notes from the design session.FindingsThe findings show that the students engaged in critical design learn different aspects of sustainable work: how to be solution oriented, how to use technology to do good in the world and outside-the-box thinking skills.Originality/valueThe authors contribute extended insight into what it means to work for sustainable development, hence doing sustainable work, and how sustainable work can be conducted in practice. The authors discuss three dimensions of sustainable work that we argue are essential to understand how professionals can work towards increased sustainability. The three dimensions are: participation-based work, practice-based work and context-based work.

AbstractWe studied mycorrhizal symbioses of Cephalanthera falcata (Orchidaceae) in a population that included giant individuals, some of which were over 50 cm in height and had more than 10 shoots, as well as in two nearby habitats without giant individuals. For C. falcata adults in the habitat with giant individuals, a fungal lineage in the ectomycorrhiza‐forming clade of Sebacinales was detected as the dominant mycobiont. Furthermore, higher 13C enrichment, which is an indicator of mycoheterotrophy, was found in these C. falcata individuals compared to those in the two nearby habitats. These results indicate that the growth of giant C. falcata individuals may be a result of the increased ability of Sebacinales fungi to transfer carbon to the orchids. Furthermore, we attempted to discern the effect of mycobiont taxa on seedling development in the three habitats. Contrary to our expectations, Sebacinales fungi were not found to significantly impact seedling growth as this orchid was predominantly colonized by Thelephoraceae fungi at the seedling stage. These results suggest that seedling growth is mostly enhanced by symbiosis with Thelephoraceae fungi in this orchid, and that the growth of giant individuals due to colonization by Sebacinales fungi may occur subsequently.

AbstractObjectiveTo measure the extent to which the provision of mammograms was impacted by the COVID‐19 pandemic and surrounding guidelines.Data SourcesDe‐identified summary data derived from medical claims and eligibility files were provided by Independence Blue Cross for women receiving mammograms.Study DesignWe used a difference‐in‐differences approach to characterize the change in mammograms performed over time and a queueing formula to estimate the time to clear the queue of missed mammograms.Data CollectionWe used data from the first 30 weeks of each year from 2018 to 2020.Principal FindingsOver the 20 weeks following March 11, 2020, the volume of screening mammograms and diagnostic mammograms fell by 58% and 38% of expected levels, on average. Lowest volumes were observed in week 15 (April 8 to 14), when screening and diagnostic mammograms fell by 99% and 74%, respectively. Volumes began to rebound in week 19 (May), with diagnostic mammograms reaching levels to similar to previous years’ and screening mammograms remaining 14% below expectations. We estimate it will take a minimum of 22 weeks to clear the queue of missed mammograms in our study sample.ConclusionsThe provision of mammograms has been significantly disrupted due to the COVID‐19 pandemic.

Published: November 2020

AbstractIn sub‐Saharan Africa cassava growing areas, two members of the Bemisia tabaci species complex termed sub‐Saharan Africa 1 (SSA1) and SSA2 have been reported as the prevalent whiteflies associated with the spread of viruses that cause cassava mosaic disease (CMD) and cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) pandemics. At the peak of CMD pandemic in the late 1990s, SSA2 was the prevalent whitefly, although its numbers have diminished over the last two decades with the resurgence of SSA1 whiteflies. Three SSA1 subgroups (SG1 to SG3) are the predominant whiteflies in East Africa and vary in distribution and biological properties. Mating compatibility between SSA1 subgroups and SSA2 whiteflies was reported as the possible driver for the resurgence of SSA1 whiteflies. In this study, a combination of both phylogenomic methods and reciprocal crossing experiments were applied to determine species status of SSA1 subgroups and SSA2 whitefly populations. Phylogenomic analyses conducted with 26 548 205 bp whole genome single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and the full mitogenomes clustered SSA1 subgroups together and separate from SSA2 species. Mating incompatibility between SSA1 subgroups and SSA2 further demonstrated their distinctiveness from each other. Phylogenomic analyses conducted with SNPs and mitogenomes also revealed different genetic relationships among SSA1 subgroups. The former clustered SSA1‐SG1 and SSA1‐SG2 together but separate from SSA1‐SG3, while the latter clustered SSA1‐SG2 and SSA1‐SG3 together but separate from SSA1‐SG1. Mating compatibility was observed between SSA1‐SG1 and SSA1‐SG2, while incompatibility occurred between SSA1‐SG1 and SSA1‐SG3, and SSA1‐SG2 and SSA1‐SG3. Mating results among SSA1 subgroups were coherent with phylogenomics results based on SNPs but not the full mitogenomes. Furthermore, this study revealed that the secondary endosymbiont—Wolbachia—did not mediate reproductive success in the crossing assays carried out. Overall, using genome wide SNPs together with reciprocal crossings assays, this study established accurate genetic relationships among cassava‐colonizing populations, illustrating that SSA1 and SSA2 are distinct species while at least two species occur within SSA1 species.

AbstractObjectiveTo systematically review evidence on the efficacy and safety of sleep deprivation (SD) as a treatment option for patients with unipolar or bipolar depression.MethodsA systematic review according to PRISMA guidelines was conducted. The certainty of evidence was assessed using the GRADE approach. Controlled trials were included in efficacy analysis, case series for evaluating complications and qualitative studies for patients’ experiences.ResultsEight controlled studies (368 patients), one qualitative study and seven case series (825 patients) were included. One week after treatment start, SD combined with standard treatment did not reduce depressive symptoms compared with standard treatment (standardized mean difference, SMD = −0.29, [95% confidence interval, CI: −0.84 to 0.25], p = 0.29). When excluding a study in elderly patients in a post hoc analysis, the difference was statistically significant (SMD = −0.54 ([95% CI: −0.86 to −0.22], p < 0.001)) but it diminished two weeks after treatment start. No superiority of SD was found compared with antidepressants, but SD may be superior to exercise in certain settings. It is uncertain whether SD affects quality of sleep, quality of life, everyday functioning or length of stay. Apart from switch to mania (ranging between 2.7% and 10.7%), no other serious complications were reported.ConclusionSleep deprivation has been studied in a wide range of settings resulting in divergent results for the short‐term efficacy on depressive symptoms. Post hoc analyses indicated that there may be a significant but transient effect in certain populations. Further studies should focus on identifying subgroups of responders as well as examining feasibility in routine clinical care.
Firing the monk when the ceremony is over: A study on the split between student protesters and their leaders after the 2014 Umbrella Movement

Published: November 2020

The 2019 Anti‐Extradition Bill Movement in Hong Kong made international headlines as a leaderless movement. This leaderless feature may be an aftereffect of the 2014 Umbrella Movement, following which university students voted to disaffiliate with the movement’s leadership, the Hong Kong Federation of Students (HKFS). We conducted a study to examine the psychological factors that contributed to this disaffiliation, including the lack of perceived integrity‐based and competence‐based trustworthiness regarding the HKFS. We tested their indirect effects on the relationship between group identification with the movement protesters and the corresponding decision to disaffiliate with the leaders. This study recruited voters at a university in Hong Kong (N = 113) shortly after a referendum on whether to end ties with the HKFS. The results of an ordinal logistic regression suggest that lower perceived integrity‐based and competence‐based trustworthiness both significantly predicted the voting decision to disaffiliate with the leaders. Indirect effect analysis with bootstrapping found a significant indirect effect of voters’ group identification with Umbrella Movement protesters on the voting decision through perceived integrity, but not perceived competence.
Laparoscopic right hemicolectomy with intracorporeal anastomosis and natural orifice surgery extraction/minimal extraction site surgery in the obese

Published: November 2020

AbstractBackgroundDespite advantages associated with laparoscopic colorectal surgery, there is significant morbidity associated with incisions required for specimen extraction and restoration of bowel continuity. In laparoscopic colorectal surgery, the length of the longest incision depends upon that required to facilitate extra‐corporeal steps. The purpose of this study was to analyse obese patients (body mass index >30 kg/m2) who have undergone laparoscopic small bowel or right‐sided colonic resection with intracorporeal anastomosis (ICA) and natural orifice surgery extraction (NOSE)/minimal extraction site (MES) surgery.MethodsA retrospective review of 11 obese patients who have undergone laparoscopic small bowel and right‐sided colonic resection with ICA and NOSE/MES was conducted.ResultsMean body mass index was 40.4 kg/m2 (range 32.7–56 kg/m2) in 11 patients. Procedures performed were laparoscopic right hemicolectomy (7) – one with high anterior resection, pelvic peritonectomy, bilateral salpingo‐oophorectomy and greater omentectomy, small bowel resection (2), transverse colotomy (1) and segmental transverse colectomy (1). All colonic specimens were extracted via NOSE (vaginal colpotomy or transcolonic), except two requiring a miniaturized extraction wound. Small bowel specimens were extracted via a 12‐mm port hole, without extension. Mean operating time was 240 min (range 100–510 min). Mean time to discharge was 4 days (range 4–6 days). Complications included a superficial wound infection in a patient presenting with an obstructed tumour and a second patient developed a seroma following small bowel resection for an incarcerated hernia.ConclusionObese patients can undergo laparoscopic small bowel and right‐sided colonic resection with ICA and NOSE/MES surgery and benefit from short length of stay and low morbidity.
Metabolic bone disease of prematurity—National survey of current neonatal and paediatric endocrine approaches

Published: November 2020

AbstractAimThis study aimed to identify current trends in the management of metabolic bone disease of prematurity (MBDP) in the United Kingdom.MethodsA nationwide electronic survey was disseminated to all neonatal networks across the United Kingdom, as well as to paediatric endocrinologists for comparison. Weighted averages were used to compare relative importance placed on screening and diagnostic investigations (1 = not important, 5 = essential).ResultsSixty‐nine individuals responded from 53 neonatal units. Greatest emphasis was placed on levels of serum phosphate and alkaline phosphatase for screening (weighted average 4.5 and 4.6, respectively), diagnosis (weighted average 4.1 and 4.5, respectively) and monitoring (93% and 97% of neonatal responders, respectively) of MBDP by neonatologists. Although similar results were obtained for endocrinologists, significantly greater emphasis was placed on plasma parathyroid hormone (PTH) level for screening, diagnosis and monitoring (p < 0.001 for each). Phosphate supplementation was reported almost universally by neonatal responders (99%), but was significantly less for endocrine responders (62%) for the treatment of MBDP (p < 0.001).ConclusionThere is an under‐utilisation of plasma PTH as a screening, diagnostic and monitoring investigation to guide appropriate supplementation for MBDP by neonatologists.

Published: November 2020

AbstractIntroductionSuicidal behavior is an underresearched cause of death in the Western Pacific region. The study aimed to investigate the prevalence and associated factors of suicidal behavior in a population‐based survey among 18‐69 year‐old persons in Kiribati.MethodCross‐sectional nationally representative data of 2156 18‐69 year old persons (37 years were the median age) from the “2015‐16 Kiribati STEPS survey” were analyzed.ResultsThe results indicate that 5.1% of participants had ever attempted suicide and 9.5% engaged in past 12‐month suicidal behavior (ideation, planning, and/or attempts). In adjusted logistic regression analysis, cohabiting, psychological distress, and having had a heart attack, angina, or stroke were associated with lifetime suicide attempts. Female sex, younger age, lower education, psychological distress, heart attack, angina or stroke, and high physical activity were positively associated with past 12‐month suicidal behavior. In addition, in unadjusted analysis, alcohol family problems, alcohol dependence, family members attempted suicide, and sedentary behavior (3 to <6 hours/day) were associated with lifetime suicide attempts and/or past 12‐month suicidal behavior.ConclusionAlmost one in 10 participants were engaged in suicidal behavior in the past 12 months and several factors were detected which could be targeted in intervention activities.

AbstractIntroductionThe proportion of patients aged 75 years and over who undergo minimally invasive surgery for gastric cancer is increasing. However, the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) in this age group is controversial. This study aimed to evaluate whether LG is safe and effective in patients aged 75 years and over.MethodsThe study included 728 patients with early and advanced gastric cancer who underwent curative LG between 2009 and 2017; 166 of these patients (22.8%) were aged 75 or over. All surgeries were performed laparoscopically. Selected clinical factors were compared between the 166 patients aged 75 years and over and the 562 patients aged under 75 years.ResultsThere were significant differences in presence of comorbidity, respiratory function and American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status scores between the older and younger groups. The older patients more frequently developed complications than the younger ones, particularly postoperative pneumonia. According to multivariate analyses of all participants, age, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and D2 lymphadenectomy were independent risk factors for postoperative pneumonia. Advanced stage and D2 lymphadenectomy were independent risk factors in the older group, whereas only COPD was an independent risk factor in the younger group.ConclusionsLG for gastric cancer can be safely performed in patients aged over 75 years with an acceptable complication rate. However, the present data suggest that care should be taken in selecting LG with D2 lymphadenectomy to treat advanced cancer in these patients because the risk of postoperative complications, especially postoperative pneumonia, increases.
Finance, Discipline and the Labour Share in the Long‐Run: France (1911–2010) and Sweden (1891–2000)
Authors: Gouzoulis Giorgos 
Published: November 2020

AbstractThere is an ongoing debate within political economy on how finance affects capital–labour relations. Industrial relation scholars have demonstrated that financialization empowers capital and induces the liberalization of industrial relations. Additionally, meso and macro level studies show that finance reduced the labour share during neoliberalism. However, the literature is relatively limited and does not extend to the pre‐WWII period. Considering finance as historically integral to capitalism, this paper estimates the impact of finance on the labour shares of France (1911–2010) and Sweden (1891–2000). The results show that mortgage debt decreases the labour shares of both countries, thus, the financialization of households induces industrial discipline historically. However, the negative effect is substantially smaller in Sweden where housing finance is state‐led and bargaining coordination is centralized over the last century.
