Authors: Baliga Ravishanker , Rao Sharat K. , Pai Raghuvir , Shenoy Satish B. , Hegde Atmananda K. , Swaroop Shubham , Shetkar Abhijeet 
Published: October 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to investigate by means of finite element analysis (FEA), the effect of polyethylene insert thickness and implant material, under axial loading following TKA.

Design/methodology/approach
The 3D geometric model of bone was processed using the CT scan data by MIMICS (3matic Inc.), package. Implant components were 3D scanned and subsequently 3D modeled using ANSYS Spaceclaim and meshed in Hypermesh (Altair Hyperworks). The assembled, meshed bone-implant model was then input to ABAQUS for FE simulations, considering axial loading.

Findings
Polyethylene insert thickness was found to have very little or no significance (p>0.05) on the mechanical performance, namely, stress, strain and stress shielding of bone-implant system. Implant material was found to have a very significant effect (p<0.05) on the performance parameters and greatly reduced the high stress zones up to 60 percent on the tibial flange region and periprosthetic region of tibia.

Originality/value
Very few FEA studies have been done considering a full bone with heterogeneous material properties, to save computational time. Moreover, four different polyethylene insert thickness with a metal-backed and all-poly tibial tray was considered as the variables affecting the bone-implant system response, under static axial loading. The authors believe that considering a full bone shall lead to more precise outcomes, in terms of the response of bone-implant system, namely, stress, strains and stress shielding in the periprosthetic region, to loading.

Towards a circular built environment
Authors: van Stijn Anne , Gruis Vincent 
Published: October 2019

PurposeThe transition to a circular economy in the built environment is key to achieving a resource-effective society. The built environment can be made more circular by applying circular building components. The purpose of this paper is to present a design tool that can support industry in developing circular building components.Design/methodology/approachThe tool was developed and tested in five steps. In Step 1, the authors analysed existing circular design frameworks to identify gaps and develop requirements for the design tool (Step 2). In Step 3, the authors derived circular design parameters and options from existing frameworks. In Step 4, the authors combined and specified these to develop the “circular building components generator” (CBC-generator). In Step 5, the CBC-generator was applied in the development of an exemplary component: the circular kitchen and tested in a student workshop.FindingsThe CBC-generator is a three-tiered design tool, consisting of a technical, industrial and business model generator. These generators are “parameter based”; they consist of a parameter-option matrix and design canvasses. Different variants for circular components can be synthesised by filling the canvasses through systematically “mixing and matching” design options.Research limitations/implicationsThe developed tool does not yet support establishing causal links between “parameter-options” and identification of the most circular design variant.Practical implicationsThe CBC-generator provides an important step to support the building industry in developing and implementing circular building components in the built environment.Originality/valueWhilst existing tools and frameworks are not comprehensive, nor specifically developed for designing circular building components, the CBC-generator successfully supports the integral design of circular building components. First, it provides all the design parameters which should be considered; second, it provides extensive design options per parameter; and third, it supports systematic synthesis of design options to a cohesive and comprehensive circular design.
A pilot study of Vipassana meditation with female drug users at a rehabilitation centre, Thailand
Authors: Wongtongkam Nualnong , Bhavanaveeranusith Phrakhru 
Published: October 2019

Purpose
Substance abuse has become a major health issue in Thailand, contributing to high numbers of premature deaths and requiring considerable expenditure on treatment and rehabilitation programs. The purpose of this paper is to explore use of Vipassana meditation to reduce depression and improve empathy and self-awareness in drug dependent women at a rehabilitation centre.

Design/methodology/approach
Mixed methods were employed. Data were collected in a randomised controlled trial and focus group interviews with 24 intervention subjects and 22 controls.

Findings
Findings showed no significant differences in depression, empathy or mindfulness levels between intervention and control groups, but intervention subjects had a small decline in depression at one-month follow up. The focus group interviews showed that drug users had developed self-awareness, moral values and greater understanding of right and wrong acts.

Originality/value
Findings suggest that Vipassana meditation which is cultural appropriate for Thai culture and religion, should be incorporated into treatments in rehabilitation centres to increase successful outcomes.
I rather share my knowledge
Authors: Afshar Jalili Yasha 
Published: October 2019

Purpose
This paper aims to propose an approach by understanding how Oil Industries’ Commissioning and Operation Company (OICO) company fostered its knowledge sharing (KS) by using gamification approach and nudge theory. It also ascertains the process and challenges that OICO confronted during its three-year journey for improving its organizational knowledge performance.

Design/methodology/approach
The study used a qualitative research method and case study design. Data were collected from several sources, including the first-hand experiences and observations of the author during contributing in the company’s canonical action research, several in-depth face-to-face interviews conducted with the KM Department team members, the data gathered from the company’s KM software and studying the related organizational procedures and documents.

Findings
The results reveal that the gamification approach suits for developing KS reward system and knowledge performance management. It also explains that informing project managers about their project’s knowledge performance accompanied by emoticons would lead to higher supports of KM. The proposed approach by this case study improved the organizational KS and performance by 22 per cent semi-annually.

Practical implications
The described case is detailed deeply and would help KMers to follow it easily. The study would spark some ideas of how to use nudge theory in KM context. Besides, KMers can design a KM reward system based on the explained case.

Originality/value
This study contributes to the KS and KM rewarding system, especially in project-based organizations, as limited studies have been conducted to investigate the roles that the gamification approach can play in this field. Moreover, this is the first time that use of nudge theory and choice architecture is investigated in the context of KM.
A methodological approach to accessing informal dementia care
Authors: Fletcher James Rupert 
Published: October 2019

PurposeA growing body of research seeks to include people with dementia as both participants and co-designers. It is also increasingly recognized that dementia research must pay greater attention to informal care, provided by family and friends in non-institutional settings, because this is the situation of most people affected by dementia. Accessing these kinds of naturalistic care sites through meaningfully inclusive studies can be challenging for researchers in many fields. The paper aims to discuss this issue.Design/methodology/approachThis paper describes a methodology designed to facilitate meaningful inclusion and access to hard-to-reach dementia care networks. It describes the implementation of this methodology in the field, the problems that emerged and the lessons learned.FindingsA two-step sampling approach was used. People with dementia were sampled through organizations unrelated to dementia. Care networks were sampled through ecomapping with people with dementia. The strategy successfully accessed the desired population, but it was labour-intensive and biased the sample in several respects.Originality/valueIt is hoped that this outline will encourage further reflection and discussion regarding methodological approaches to complex sampling and recruitment issues in dementia research.
Attitudes towards frailty assessment in clinical practice among psychiatrists in the UK
Authors: Anantapong Kanthee , Tinker Anthea 
Published: October 2019

Purpose
Although there is substantial evidence about the association between frailty and mental illnesses in older people, there is currently little evidence about how this is integrated into psychiatric clinical practice. The purpose of this paper is to explore the attitudes of a sample of psychiatrists in the UK about the concept and assessment of frailty in their clinical practice.

Design/methodology/approach
This research used a qualitative approach with semi-structured interviews. Interview schedules and transcripts were analysed using thematic analysis. NVivo software and an audit trail were used for the data analysis.

Findings
There were ten respondents (all psychiatrists) in this study. From the interviews, it appeared that some respondents were not be fully familiar with existing concepts of frailty. However, from their perspectives, frailty appeared to be multidimensional, reversible and for some could be enhanced by older people’s ability. Negative stereotypes of being frail could undermine the accessibility to appropriate assessment and care. Existing multidisciplinary assessments, with some adjustments to the particular needs of psychiatric patients, can be used to establish a frailty index.

Originality/value
The concept of frailty, especially those concerning its multidimensional and homeostatic nature, should be further examined to make it more applicable to psychiatric practice. Without much more effort, frailty could be assessed within current psychiatric practices. This could constitute a care plan tailored for frail people with a psychiatric illness, so as to improve the outcomes of their treatment and quality of life.
Working on the edge: changes in the content and delivery of social care
Authors: Moriarty Jo , Manthorpe Jill , Harris Jess 
Published: October 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to describe some of the changes to the content and delivery of care work in the context of developments in the wider labour market.

Design/methodology/approach
A total of 240 interviews with social care practitioners and managers were undertaken at Time 1 (T1) (2009–2012) and Time 2 (T2) (2011–2014) in four local council sites in England. A final round of interviews (T3) with managers (n=60) and staff (n=60) took place between 2015 and 2018.

Findings
The way in which many workers found meaning and satisfaction within their work was an important way by which many of them tempered dissatisfaction with pay, status and working conditions. Some workers used the concepts of ethical practice and vocation to differentiate themselves from other workers and organisations whom they considered lack these qualities and from what they saw as a wider societal perception that their work was unskilled and unfulfilling.

Research limitations/implications
The interview data may not be generalisable or totally representative of care staff. Those employers who agreed to participate may have been more committed to workforce development and valued their staff more highly. Nonetheless, data were sector wide and there were sizeable numbers of participants.

Practical implications
Pride and job satisfaction are important aspects of job satisfaction in care work and could be fostered in care services and by older people.

Social implications
Negative perceptions of care work within society may act as a barrier to recruitment and retention. Older people might help raise the positive profile of care work.

Originality/value
This is a unique data set from which to document long-term determinants of job satisfaction in care work.
Adoption barriers in engaging young consumers in the Omni-channel retailing
Authors: Sharma Manu , Gupta Manish , Joshi Sudhanshu 
Published: October 2019

Purpose
The purpose of the study is twofold. The first objective is to identify adoption barriers (AdoBs) in engaging young consumers in the Omni-channel retailing (OCR). The second objective is to develop interrelationship among identified AdoBs.

Design/methodology/approach
The study used interpretative structural modeling–fuzzy ( Matriced’ Impacts Croisés Multiplication Appliquée a UN Classement) methods on 18 AdoBs identified from the existing literature and validated from 10 experts and 137 young consumers through pairwise comparison using the arithmetic hierarchical process method. The resulting ten barriers were further investigated for identifying the strength of relationships among them.

Findings
The study has identified price inconsistency as the dominant AdoB that restricts young consumers in engaging with OCR. The other critical AdoBs include lack of coordination among the channels, and information sharing and inconsistent price discount are the main barriers that affect all the other barriers among the 10 AdoBs identified in this study. The data also revealed that the young consumers exhibit the research-online purchase-offline effect in the purchase process.

Research limitations/implications
The research study has undertaken ten barriers only. The interrelationship among the barriers may be tested further with advanced techniques. The data have been collected from young consumers of emerging markets only which may be further extended for other markets.

Practical implications
This study helps practitioners and decision-makers understand about AdoBs faced by the young consumers influencing the purchase-intention process. Retailers or marketers are encouraged to focus on price consistency, advanced shared information system, proper coordination and developing trust of consumers in sharing their data to enhance the acceptability of Omni channels. Moreover, the identification of barriers and their strength offer marketers or retailers an opportunity to engage them in an effective manner and thus create value using communication channels.

Social implications
Social benefits of understanding barriers are helpful for transforming the existing retail channel into a fully integrated Omni-channel ecosystem. For this, AdoBs identified and their inter-relationships explored in this study could be used for engaging young consumers in OCR.

Originality/value
To date, the research on Omni-channel barriers in the present context is scant. The research provides insides on identified dimensions on young consumer engagement in OCR.

Published: October 2019

AbstractThe multinational phase 3 CheckMate 238 trial compared adjuvant therapy with nivolumab versus ipilimumab among patients with resected stage III or IV melanoma (N = 906). In this Japanese subgroup analysis of CheckMate 238 (n = 28; nivolumab, n = 18; ipilimumab, n = 10), both the 12‐ and 18‐month recurrence‐free survival rates were 56% for nivolumab and 30% for ipilimumab (hazard ratio, 0.66; 97.56% confidence interval, 0.19–2.24; P = 0.4390). No new safety signals were reported for Japanese patients. Results were consistent with those from the CheckMate 238 global population, indicating that nivolumab has the potential to be a treatment option for Japanese patients with resected melanoma who are at high risk of recurrence.
Acclimation to low ultraviolet‐B radiation increases photosystem I abundance and cyclic electron transfer with enhanced photosynthesis and growth in the cyanobacterium Nostoc sphaeroides
Authors: Chen Zhen , Jiang Hai‐Bo , Gao Kunshan , Qiu Bao‐Sheng 
Published: October 2019

SummaryUltraviolet‐B radiation is known to harm most photosynthetic organisms with the exception of several studies of photosynthetic eukaryotes in which UV‐B showed positive effects. In this study, we investigated the effect of acclimation to low UV‐B radiation on growth and photosynthesis of the cyanobacterium Nostoc sphaeroides. Exposure to 0.08 W m−2 UV‐B plus low visible light for 14 d significantly increased the growth rate and biomass production by 16% and 30%, respectively, compared with those under visible light alone. The UV‐B acclimated cells showed an approximately 50% increase in photosynthetic efficiency (α) and photosynthetic capacity (Pmax), a higher PSI/PSII fluorescence ratio, an increase in PSI content and consequently enhanced cyclic electron flow, relative to those of non‐acclimated cells. Both the primary quinone‐type acceptor and plastoquinone pool re‐oxidation were up‐regulated in the UV‐B acclimated cells. In parallel, the UV‐B acclimated colonies maintained a higher rate of D1 protein synthesis following exposure to elevated intensity of UV‐B or visible light, thus functionally mitigating photoinhibition. The present data provide novel insight into photosynthetic acclimation to low UV‐B radiation and suggest that UV‐B may act as a positive ecological factor for the productivity of some photosynthetic prokaryotes, especially during twilight periods or in shaded environments.
Publics and their Problems: Notes on the Remaking of the South Bank, London
Authors: Latham Alan , Layton Jack 
Published: October 2019

AbstractCities are full of disputes about organizing public life. These disputes are important for deciding how spaces get used, and they are integral to how publics form and develop. In all sorts of ways they define the potentialities of urban public life. This article tells the story of the Southbank Centre's plans to redevelop their central London site, and Long Live Southbank's protest of these plans to save their skateable space. Through this detailed case study the article develops a distinctive conceptual apparatus for making sense of public disputes. Drawing links between Deweyan pragmatism and assemblage theory, the article explores how publics were drawn together as assemblages of humans and non‐humans with the capacity to act and argue. It follows the arguments that each side made—and the justifications underpinning them—to explore the different ideas of public‐ness that were at stake in the disagreement. This also helps highlight the space for cooperation that existed. The article emphasizes the part affect played in shaping the dispute; recognizing its role in public reasoning, and in how people get pulled into different publics. This is a story not only of disputation, but of how a corner of London expanded its public‐ness.
Autophagy is required for sulfur dioxide tolerance in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Authors: Valero Eva , Tronchoni Jordi , Morales Pilar , Gonzalez Ramon 
Published: October 2019

SummarySulfiting agents are among the most widely used preservatives in the food and beverages industries, including winemaking, and one of their main functions is inhibition of spoilage microorganisms. We have used a whole genome quantitative fitness analysis in order to improve our knowledge on yeast tolerance to sulfites. Apart from the contribution of sulfite efflux to tolerance, results point to vesicle‐mediated transport, autophagy and vacuolar activity as the main cellular functions required to survive sulfite challenges. The involvement of autophagic and vacuolar functions in sulfite tolerance was further confirmed by pairwise competition using a newly constructed atg2‐defective strain, as well as by showing induction of ATG8 expression by sulfite. Autophagy is required for the turnover of proteins and subcellular structures damaged by sulfite. In addition, the requirement for vacuolar functions might be related to its role in intracellular pH homeostasis. Finally, the involvement of the sulfite pump Ssu1 and the transcription factor Fzf1 in sulfite tolerance by Saccharomyces cerevisiae was confirmed; a result that validates the experimental approach used in this work. These findings have relevance for understanding sulfite toxicity and tolerance, as well as for the eventual design of strategies aiming to control yeast spoilage.
