Modelling the drivers of the UK multi-let industrial property market: an exploratory study
Authors: Higgins David , Vincent Tsvetomira , Wood Peter 
Published: June 2020

PurposeMulti-let industrial (MLI) estates are an emerging £15 billion UK real estate asset class that can offer attractive returns, a diversified income base, constrained supply and extensive management opportunities to add value within an operational platform. This investment appeal is supported by the evolving MLI occupier market with the growth of small to medium enterprises (SME) requiring modern urban business space driven in part by technology advances offering new streams of supply chain connectivity between businesses and potential clients at a local level.Design/methodology/approachTo understand more about MLI properties, this study utilises a hedonic pricing model to quantify property values as a function of defined variables. The dataset used for this research is a sample portfolio of 26 multi-let industrial properties. The dataset was analysed alongside eleven physical, financial and locational factors. Interestingly, the hedonic pricing model results showed that only four characteristics are value-affecting across the selected properties: namely (1) Granularity of the property income, (2) Distance from the nearest motorway, (3) Distance to the nearest town centre and (4) Gross internal floor area. A chi–test confirmed that there was no significant difference between the modelled values and the supplied property valuations.FindingsThis preliminary study offers valuable insight into MLI property market drivers and could easily form a simple decision-making tool to examine potential MLI opportunities in this developing real estate asset class.Originality/valueIn detailing these key MLI property features, current research is limited and focused primarily on market commentary. New knowledge on the MLI property market can provide a platform creating interesting opportunities for fund managers with an intensive management engagement strategy.
How to encourage collaboration and break down silos in remote teams?
Authors: Edwards Sarah 
Published: June 2020

Purpose
One of the issues concerning businesses today, which are reconfiguring the workplace towards more remote working, is avoiding the build-up of “silos” – teams, which operate as sealed off windowless units within the business. These interfere with the creation and maintenance of a one-team culture within your organisation.

Design/methodology/approach
With everyone working from home, this situation can potentially become even more difficult to address. Teams may meet regularly over digital channels but they likely have less contact with the people in the wider organisation, who they do not work with directly. If you were to map the points of contact in your organisation, you would see that remote working in many organisations is very much reducing them and confining them to within teams. So, in remote teams, there is more of a need than ever for HR professionals and business leaders to work to break down silos to keep the one team culture.

Findings
Here are some tips from the author’s experience for breaking down silos in remote teams: create opportunities for more relaxed social interactions, focus on the customer experience and share information across the organisation.

Originality/value
There may be opportunities for these underused skills to be deployed in another area of the business. But if the resource availability is not visible, that is less likely to happen. Equally, if each team does not share what it is doing in an up to date and accessible way, other teams will end up stepping on their toes. So, having a way of sharing accurate, real-time information across the business underpins the effort of working together in a unified and efficient way.

Published: June 2020

PurposeThe present study aims to summarize different non-invasive techniques for continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in diabetic patients using glucose-oxidase biosensors. In diabetic patients, the self-monitoring of blood glucose (BG) levels through minimally invasive techniques provides a quick method of measuring their BG concentration, unlike conventional laboratory measurements. The drawbacks of minimally invasive techniques include physical pain, anxiety and reduced patient compliance. To overcome these limitations, researchers shifted their attention towards the development of a pain-free and non-invasive glucose monitoring system, which showed encouraging results.Design/methodology/approachThis study reviews the development of minimally and non-invasive method for continuous glucose level monitoring in diabetic or hyperglycemic patients. Specifically, glucose monitoring using non-invasive techniques, such as spectroscopy-based methods, polarimetry, fluorescence, electromagnetic variations, transdermal extraction-based methods and using body fluids, has been discussed. The various strategies adopted for improving the overall specificity and performance of biosensors are discussed.FindingsIn conclusion, the technology of glucose oxidase-based biosensors for glucose level monitoring is becoming a strong competitor, probably because of high specificity and selectivity, low cost and increased patient compliance. Many industries currently working in this field include Google, Novartis and Microsoft, which demonstrates the significance and strong market potential of self-monitored glucose-oxidase-based biosensors in the near future.Originality/valueThis review paper summarizes comprehensive strategies for continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in diabetic patients using non-invasive glucose-oxidase biosensors. Non-invasive techniques received significant research interest because of high sensitivity and better patient compliance, unlike invasive ones. Although the results from these innovative devices require frequent calibration against direct BG data, they might be a preferable candidate for future CGM. However, the challenges associated with designing accurate level sensors to biomonitor BG data easily and painlessly needs to be addressed.
Critical types of knowledge loss in military organisations
Authors: Singh Mukesh Kumar , Gupta Vikas 
Published: June 2020

Purpose
Premature departure of highly skilled and experienced soldiers is detrimental to the excellence of a military organisation. The organisation can achieve knowledge superiority over adversaries, only if it acknowledges the organisation’s critical knowledge and undertakes necessary steps to preserve it. The purpose of this paper is to find out the critical types of knowledge loss in military organisations when a soldier departs.

Design/methodology/approach
This study uses grounded theory methodology with purposive/theoretical sampling of experts from the Indian Air Force, coding and constant comparative analysis to construct different knowledge categories. ATLAS.ti 8 was used for data coding and analysis.

Findings
This paper identifies eight types of knowledge categories in a military organisation and specifies the criticality of each category.

Research limitation/implication
This study has been piloted on a single organisation with a limited number of samples. However, the results can be used in future research on exploring generalisation. This study is unique in providing useful insights into the types of critical knowledge loss in a military organisation. Research infuses theoretical rigour to the knowledge management (KM) literature and provides impetus to study various aspects of KM in a military organisation.

Practical implication
This study provides the first set of guidelines for the leaders in military organisations to develop a KM strategy for knowledge loss. Research lists specific and actionable areas of knowledge for the commanders to act with considerable savings to exchequer, time and effort. The result could be reasonably generalised for other military setups in the world.

Originality/value
This paper is highly innovative and would significantly contribute to the under-explored area of KM in military organisations and the KM literature.
Top‐down effects from parasitoids may mediate plant defence and plant fitness

Abstract

Plants face many environmental stresses that can impact their survival, development and fitness. Insects are the most diverse, abundant and threatening herbivores in nature. As a consequence, plants produce direct chemical and physical defences to reduce herbivory. They also release volatiles to recruit natural enemies that indirectly protect them from herbivory. The recruitment of parasitic wasps can benefit plant fitness because they ultimately kill their insect hosts.

Recently, studies showed that parasitoids can indirectly mediate plant defences by modulating herbivore oral secretions. In addition to the direct benefits of parasitoids in terms of reducing herbivore survival, we tested if the reduction in induced defences by parasitized caterpillars compared to non‐parasitized caterpillars may reduce the costs associated with defence expression.

We provide evidence that tomato plants treated with saliva from parasitized caterpillars have significantly higher fitness parameters including increased flower numbers (16.3%) and heavier fruit weight (13.5%), compared to plants treated with saliva from non‐parasitized caterpillars. Since plants were grown without actual herbivores, the higher values for these fitness parameters were due to lower costs of induced defences and not due to reduced herbivory by parasitized caterpillars. Furthermore, the resulting seed germination time was shorter and the germination rate was higher when the maternal plants were previously exposed to parasitized herbivore treatment compared to control (non‐treated) plants.

Overall, application of saliva did not result in transgenerational priming of offspring defence responses. However, offspring of parents exposed to caterpillar saliva had lower constitutive levels and higher induced levels of trypsin inhibitor than offspring from unexposed parents.

This study shows that the saliva of parasitized caterpillars can modulate plant defences and further demonstrates that the lower induction of plant defences is associated with elevated plant fitness in the absence of herbivore feeding, suggesting that induced plant defences are costly.

Metabolome segregation of four strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Saccharomyces uvarum and Saccharomyces kudriavzevii conducted under low temperature oenological conditions
Authors: Minebois Romain , Pérez‐Torrado Roberto , Querol Amparo 
Published: June 2020

SummaryThe monitoring of fermentation at low temperatures (12–15°C) is a current practice in the winery for retention and enhancement of the flavour volatile content of wines. Among Saccharomyces species, Saccharomyces uvarum and Saccharomyces kudriavzevii have revealed interesting industrial properties, including better adaptation at low temperatures. To gather deeper knowledge of the fermentative metabolism at a low temperature of these species together with S. cerevisiae, we performed a comparative metabolomic analysis using four representative strains. We used batch cultures to obtain an exhaustive and dynamic image of the metabolome of strains passing through the sequential stresses related to the winemaking environment. A great variety of intra‐ and extracellular metabolites (>500 compounds) were quantified across fermentation using distinct chromatographic methods. Besides a global decrease in the lipid composition of the four strains when they entered into the stationary phase, we reported some strain‐specific high magnitude changes. Examples of these differences included divergent patterns of production of short‐chain fatty acids and erythritol in the S. uvarum strain. Strains also differed in expression for aromatic amino acid biosynthesis and sulphur metabolism, including the glutathione pathway. These data will allow us to refine and obtain the most value of fermentations with this alternative Saccharomyces species.

Published: June 2020

SummaryInterspecies bacterial competition may occur via cell‐associated or secreted determinants and is key to successful niche colonization. We previously evolved Pseudomonas aeruginosa in the presence of Staphylococcus aureus and identified mutations in the Wsp surface‐sensing signalling system. Surprisingly, a ΔwspF mutant, characterized by increased c‐di‐GMP levels and biofilm formation capacity, showed potent killing activity towards S. aureus in its culture supernatant. Here, we used an unbiased metabolomic analysis of culture supernatants to identify rhamnolipids, alkyl quinoline N‐oxides and two siderophores as members of four chemical clusters, which were more abundant in the ΔwspF mutant supernatants. Killing activities were quorum‐sensing controlled but independent of c‐di‐GMP levels. Based on the metabolomic analysis, we formulated a synthetic cocktail of four compounds, showing broad‐spectrum anti‐bacterial killing, including both Gram‐positive and Gram‐negative bacteria. The combination of quorum‐sensing‐controlled killing and Wsp‐system mediated biofilm formation endows P. aeruginosa with capacities essential for niche establishment and host colonization.
Preschool phonological, morphological and semantic skills explain it all: following reading development through a 9‐year period

Published: June 2020

BackgroundThere is increasing recognition of the contribution of morphological skills to the development of reading fluency. However, theoretical models and recent research raise questions about how different language skills influence reading development.MethodsThe present study was designed to follow the reading development of a large sample of Norwegian children (N = 323) from preschool to Grade 9, assessing their performance on a wide range of language‐related and reading skills including morphological awareness. We employed confirmatory factor analyses of the cognitive, linguistic and reading variables prior to modelling the contribution of the preschool language variables to reading comprehension in Grades 1, 2 and 9.ResultsPreschool measures of phonological, morphological and semantic skills were best represented by a single language latent variable. Reading in Grades 1 and 2, assessed by measures of both decoding and comprehension, was also best represented by a single latent variable. Preschool language skills have long‐range direct and indirect effects on the development of reading comprehension. Overall, preschool language abilities accounted for 69.2% of the variance in reading comprehension 9 years later.ConclusionsThe results demonstrate the powerful influence of early language on later reading and suggest that language intervention programmes, combining phonological, morphological and semantic activities, may help to reduce the incidence of reading problems.

Birds of a feather flock together? The survival of underrepresented groups within parliamentary parties, 1991–2015
Authors: van de WARDT MARC , van WITTELOOSTUIJN ARJEN , CHAMBERS ANTHONY , WAUTERS BRAM 
Published: June 2020

AbstractThis study focuses on the exit of MPs of underrepresented groups – that is, women, visible minorities and the lower educated– from parliamentary parties. Research has mostly focused on what brings these politicians into parliament, but not on what determines their survival within parliamentary parties. Based on the economic and sociological literature on organisations, we develop the homophily hypothesis, positing that MPs from underrepresented groups will be more likely to exit their parliamentary party if their share within the parliamentary party is low. Utilising the PATHWAYS dataset, based on 5,889 unique MPs that served during 37 legislative periods across eight Western European countries between 1991 and 2015, this hypothesis is confirmed. These findings have important implications for the literature on descriptive representation and legislative turnover.
Application of ozone for degradation of mycotoxins in food: A review
Authors: Afsah‐Hejri Leili , Hajeb Parvaneh , Ehsani Reza J. 
Published: June 2020

AbstractMycotoxins such as aflatoxins (AFs), ochratoxin A (OTA) fumonisins (FMN), deoxynivalenol (DON), zearalenone (ZEN), and patulin are stable at regular food process practices. Ozone (O3) is a strong oxidizer and generally considered as a safe antimicrobial agent in food industries. Ozone disrupts fungal cells through oxidizing sulfhydryl and amino acid groups of enzymes or attacks the polyunsaturated fatty acids of the cell wall. Fusarium is the most sensitive mycotoxigenic fungi to ozonation followed by Aspergillus and Penicillium. Studies have shown complete inactivation of Fusarium and Aspergillus by O3 gas. Spore germination and toxin production have also been reduced after ozone fumigation. Both naturally and artificially, mycotoxin‐contaminated samples have shown significant mycotoxin reduction after ozonation. Although the mechanism of detoxification is not very clear for some mycotoxins, it is believed that ozone reacts with the functional groups in the mycotoxin molecules, changes their molecular structures, and forms products with lower molecular weight, less double bonds, and less toxicity. Although some minor physicochemical changes were observed in some ozone‐treated foods, these changes may or may not affect the use of the ozonated product depending on the further application of it. The effectiveness of the ozonation process depends on the exposure time, ozone concentration, temperature, moisture content of the product, and relative humidity. Due to its strong oxidizing property and corrosiveness, there are strict limits for O3 gas exposure. O3 gas has limited penetration and decomposes quickly. However, ozone treatment can be used as a safe and green technology for food preservation and control of contaminants.

Published: June 2020

AbstractThe application of bacterial cellulose (BC) as a wrapping material for vacuum‐packaged beef was studied and compared against unwrapped beef for up to 3 weeks. The impact of BC wrap on the weight loss, purge accumulation, and drip loss were assessed along with low‐field nuclear magnetic resonance, physicochemical, microbiological, and sensorial evaluations. The BC wrap significantly (P < 0.05) reduced purge accumulation in vacuum packages which was confirmed by an increased swelling ratio and scanning electron microscopy images. Colorimetric measurements showed significantly (P < 0.05) increased redness and yellowness values in wrapped samples compared to unwrapped samples. BC wrap did not affect pH, tenderness, and odor of meat, but significantly (P < 0.05) increased lipid oxidation, and numbers of lactic acid bacteria and Brochothrix thermosphacta counts. This study shows that BC wrap has potential as a purge absorbent in vacuum packaged meat.Practical ApplicationBacteria cellulose has good water holding capacity that can be utilized to absorb purge exudate from beef. It helps to improve the appearance and consequently consumer acceptance of vacuum packed beef.
Polyglycolic acid sheets decrease post‐endoscopic submucosal dissection bleeding in early gastric cancer: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Published: June 2020

ObjectiveEndoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is the standard treatment for early gastric cancer (EGC). However, post‐ESD bleeding remains a serious issue, particularly in patients treated with an antithrombotic agent or those have had a large mucosal resection (≥4 cm). Whether covering the ulcer bed induced by ESD with polyglycolic acid (PGA) sheets can prevent post‐ESD bleeding remains to be questioned. Therefore, we performed a systematic review and meta‐analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of PGA sheets on preventing post‐ESD bleeding in patients with early gastric cancer (EGC) at a high risk of post‐ESD bleeding.MethodsPubMed, Cochrane Library and EMBASE databases were searched for studies on the effect of PGA sheets shielding on inpatients with EGC and at a high risk of bleeding using post‐ESD bleeding rate as the primary outcome.ResultsAmong the four included studies (212 lesions in the PGA sheet group and 208 in the control group), post‐ESD bleeding rate was significantly lower in the PGA sheet group than in the control group (4.9% vs 13.7%, risk ratio [RR] 0.33, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.18‐0.72, P = 0.004). A subgroup analysis showed that the application of PGA sheets effectively reduced the post‐ESD bleeding rate in patients receiving antithrombotic agents (5.5% vs 15.2%; RR 0.37, 95% CI 0.17‐0.79, P = 0.01). Although the application of PGA sheets tended to decrease the post‐ESD bleeding rate in patients who had undergone large mucosal resections, the difference was not significant (4.5% vs 9.6%; RR 0.52, 95% CI 0.15‐1.78, P = 0.29).ConclusionsPGA sheets can effectively prevent post‐ESD bleeding in patients receiving antithrombotic agents. Further studies are needed to confirm whether PGA sheets can decrease post‐ESD bleeding in patients underwent large mucosal resection.
