Sport business models: a stakeholder optimization approach
Authors: Pittz Thomas , Bendickson Joshua S. , Cowden Birton J. , Davis Phillip E. 
Published: November 2020

PurposeOwners of the US-based sport teams are seeing consistent gains on their financial investments, no matter the success of their teams on the playing field or their impact on the surrounding community. Sports teams are a part of an ecosystem comprised of primary and secondary stakeholders. The authors explore this phenomenon using a stakeholder perspective to understand how different business models and ownership structures optimize stakeholder value.Design/methodology/approachThe authors employ an evaluative conceptual approach to examine the dominant model in the US, European ownership structures and public-private partnerships (PPPs). T finalize these comparisons by exploring a fourth business model and ownership structure – a relatively unique option in the US deployed by the Green Bay Packers – which we refer to as the maximized value partnership (MVP). These comparisons are followed by practical advice for owners in regard to these governance mechanisms.FindingsThe MVP ownership model has the potential to level the playing field between public and private actors. This potential is realized by fusing some of the best practices from European football clubs, in particular aspects of the stock market and supporter trust models.Originality/valueBy evaluating the most common ownership structures for sports teams, t provide an alternative model as well as practical advice for owners.
The individual’s role in cybercrime prevention: internal spheres of protection and our ability to safeguard them
Authors: Kikerpill Kristjan 
Published: November 2020

Purpose
As a well-known social institution, crime prevention has traditionally been in the purview of public authorities. However, the ceaseless increase in the use of online resources and governments’ responsibilisation approach to cybercrime prevention has created an ecosystem, which necessitates the empowerment of individuals. By introducing the concept of internal spheres of protection, the purpose of this paper is to show how traditionally public responsibilities require increased facilitation by individuals to adequately safeguard what they value.

Design/methodology/approach
This is a brief conceptual paper, which recasts the individual’s role in cybercrime prevention through a critique of the routine activity theory (Cohen and Felson, 1979) and explains how responsibilisation (Garland, 1996) has created an unavoidable need to provide individuals with the knowledge and tools required to avoid online victimisation.

Findings
In the context of cybercrime, criminological theories that are limited in considering the individual both as the target of crime and the person likeliest to prevent it are quickly becoming outdated. Public authorities either cannot intervene or are moving away from intervening on citizens’ behalf to effectively stymie the pressure from cybercriminals. Thus, there is a need of an approach that starts with individuals and their value-based motivations.

Originality/value
The concept of internal spheres of protection is a novel way of looking at cybercrime prevention. The internal spheres are based on individuals’ values, and the value of security in particular, and take cyber-knowledge as a point of departure towards safeguarding such values, i.e. through risk-decreasing actions and the use of relevant tools.

Authors: Al-Omairi Laila , Al-Samarraie Hosam , Alzahrani Ahmed Ibrahim , Alalwan Nasser 
Published: November 2020

PurposeIn any developing country, the critical benefits for ensuring proper utilization of e-government learning services have basically emerged from the integration of underlying processes – not only across different levels of government but also across different functions and agencies. The literature showed a notable lack of research to underline the limited use of e-government learning services in a university setting. Therefore, this study was conducted to examine students' intention to adopt e-government learning services in a developing country. Precisely, the existent to which reputation, social influence, information quality and system quality of e-government learning services would influence students' trust, perceived usefulness and perceived learning values was investigated.Design/methodology/approachThe effect from these variables on students' intention to use e-government learning services was also investigated. A total of 406 questionnaires were collected and analyzed using partial least squares (PLS) modeling.FindingsThe results showed varying relationships between the study's variables. It is anticipated that understanding these relationships can predict future learning trends of e-government learning services use among university students, thus helping decision makers plan ahead, prioritize tasks and make better decisions.Originality/valueKnowledge about students' intention to use e-government learning services is even useful for the implementation of other services by higher education institutions. This study also offers some implications for practitioners and researchers concerned about the application of e-government in students' learning development.
“Through the looking glass: envisioning new library technologies” pandemic response technologies: tracking technologies and artificial intelligence
Authors: Fernandez Peter 
Published: November 2020

Abstract

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to focus on tracking technologies and artificial intelligence, two technologies many of us carry as part of our smartphones every day in the context of the 2020 pandemic.

Design/methodology/approach
This column is part of a series using examples and headlines generated by this unique pandemic to explore larger technological trends and to provide a glimpse into the future of these underlying technologies.

Findings
Looking ahead, it is clear that the current pandemic has heightened the value and importance of these technologies, accelerating existing trends and heightening the importance for information professionals to understand their strengths and weaknesses.

Originality/value
This column will help information professionals have the context they need to understand these technologies as they evolve and enable them to prepare their organizations and communities to effectively use, promote and develop policies to deal with them. Once a technology has been integrated into our lives, its impact can feel invisible, regardless of its impact. Over time, as the technology continues to improve and change, those evolutions may remain unseen. Yet, extraordinary circumstances, such as a global pandemic, can provide a new lens for understanding these underlying technologically evolutionary trends. This is particularly true if the technology interacts with our lives in novel ways.
(Re)discovering social identity theory: an agenda for multinational enterprise internalization theory
Authors: Raskovic Matevz , Takacs-Haynes Katalin 
Published: November 2020

PurposeFirm internalization is a central concept within the business strategy literature, as part of the broader social sciences. The purpose of this paper is to show how and where MNE internalization theory can benefit from a social identity theory (SIT) perspective to better understand 21st-century multinational enterprises (MNEs).Design/methodology/approachThis paper provides a review and future research agenda for the use of SIT related to MNE internalization theory. The authors complement an evolutionary review of SIT literature with a systematic bibliometric analysis identifying specific thematic gaps. Extending Buckley and Casson’s review of and future research agenda for MNE internalization theory, the authors propose three specific future research directions along with eight guiding research questions.FindingsInternational business (IB) scholars are familiar with limited aspects of SIT and apply it only in certain research areas, mainly connected to human resource management and leadership, organizational identity and work-related outcomes or international marketing. Strategic management and strategy-oriented IB scholars are less familiar with SIT, despite growing interest in MNE micro-foundations and decision-making under uncertainty.Originality/valueThe authors position SIT as a natural meta-theoretical fit to MNE internalization theory. By providing a future research agenda along with eight supporting research questions, the authors help to advance the MNE internalization theory by linking individual, group and intergroup perspectives against a more socially nuanced, interactionist and dynamic view of MNEs and their decision-making.
Mandatory vs voluntary exercise on non-financial reporting: does a normative/coercive isomorphism facilitate an increase in quality?
Authors: Carungu Jonida , Di Pietra Roberto , Molinari Matteo 
Published: November 2020

Purpose
This paper aims at investigating the quality of non-financial reporting (NFR) in light of Directive no. 2014/95/EU. Specifically, it focuses on the quality of NFR in Italian companies, as required by Legislative Decree no. 254/2016.

Design/methodology/approach
The method used to develop the analysis is mainly qualitative. A content analysis of 184 non-financial reports (NFRs) was conducted on a sample of 92 companies that have been previously involved in the process of NFR on a voluntary basis. Then, a longitudinal analysis was carried out to assess the quality of the NFR conducted from a voluntary to a mandatory basis.

Findings
This study shows that the quality of NFR does not increase when moving from a voluntary to a mandatory basis, especially for 25% of the companies that publish supplementary sustainability reports and/or plans. This result demonstrates that preparers may perceive mandatory NFR as a comprehensive best practice to adequately report their social, economic and environmental performance.

Originality/value
The contribution of this research is threefold. Firstly, it contributes to the social and environmental accounting literature that focuses on NFR quality assessment. Secondly, it contributes to the literature that emphasizes the role of mimetic, coercive and normative isomorphism mechanisms on accounting systems and reporting practices. Thirdly, it contributes to the research gaps for academics highlighted by previous literature on mandatory corporate reporting as a consequence of normative requirements and on the relationship between regulation and mimetic, coercive and normative isomorphic mechanisms within organizations.
Preparation and characterization of self-cross-linking long fluorocarbon polyacrylate latex modified by silane cross-linker
Authors: Shao Tantan , Chen Xiaolong , Chen Lijun 
Published: November 2020

Purpose
Silane cross-linkers have been used to strengthen the mechanical stabilities and friction resistance of plastic products. Therefore, the effect of silane cross-linkers on latex has been studied through preparing modified self-cross-linking long fluorocarbon polyacrylate latex. In this paper, nonionic surfactant alcohol ether glycoside (AEG1000) and anionic polymerizable surfactant 1-allyloxy-3-(4-nonylphenol)-2-propanol polyoxyethylene (10) ether ammonium sulfate (DNS-86) acted as mixed emulsifier and 3-(methacryloyloxy) propyltrimethoxysilane (KH-570) and bis (2-ethylhexyl) maleate (DOM) were used as functional monomers.

Design/methodology/approach
The modified acrylate polymer latex was synthesized through the semi-continuous seeded emulsion polymerization with methyl methacrylate (MMA), butyl acrylate (BA), dodecafluoroheptyl methacrylate (DFMA) and hydroxypropyl methacrylate (HPMA) as main monomers. Potassium persulfate (KPS) was applied to initiate polymerization reaction, nonionic surfactant AEG1000 and DNS-86 acted as emulsifier, KH-570 and DOM were used as functional monomers, respectively.

Findings
The optimum conditions of synthesizing the modified latex were the following. The mass ratio of monomers containing MMA, BA, DFMA, HPMA, KH-570 and DOM was 13.58:13.58:0.90:1.20:0.15:0.60, the usage of initiator KPS was 0.5% of the total weight of monomers and the amount of emulsifier was 7% of all monomers with AEG1000:DNS-86 = 1:1. The results indicated that the conversion of monomer was 99% and the coagulation was about 2.0%.

Originality/value
The resultant latex was modified silane cross-linker KH-570 and DOM, which positively affected the comprehensive properties of latex and its film. Apart from this, the novel mixed emulsifier was used to improve the size and distribution of latex particles and reduce environmental problems caused by the use of emulsifiers.
Redirecting resources to promote post-pandemic growth
Authors: Bieck Christian , Marshall Anthony 
Published: November 2020

Purpose
A recent IBM Institute of Business Value (IBV) global survey of 3,450 business leaders, conducted during the full force of the pandemic, explored which business capabilities executives are prioritizing, and how they ranked familiar concerns: cost management and cash flow management. This article urges that cost cutting should be viewed as a mechanism to redirect resources to enterprise transformation investments.

Design/methodology/approach
Article warns that an organization that wants to cut costs and not invest in transformation does not effectively serve an environment is which transformation is a mandate.

Findings
In the course of the pandemic crisis that disrupted supply chains, executives have realized an underappreciated aspect of ownership: it increases independence and buffers against outside shocks.

Practical implications
A central theme in the search for cost efficiency is the question of investment and ownership, or capital expenditure (CapEx), versus operating expenditure (OpEx).

Originality/value
In a reversal of the OpEx shift paradigm, executives state they plan to increase CapEx and decrease OpEx. Organizations with a high agility score invest almost one percentage point more in CapEx. Also, an increase in CapEx has a small but statistically significant effect on revenue growth.

Comparative effect of probiotic and paraprobiotic addition on rheological and sensory properties of yoghurt
Authors: Molaee Parvarei Mitra , Fazeli Mohammad R. , Mortazavian Amir M. , Sarem Nezhad Solmaz , Mortazavi Seyed Ali 
Published: November 2020

Yoghurt was produced using killed cells of Lactobacillus acidophilus ATCCSD 5221 and Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis BB‐12. The rheological and sensory properties of the yoghurt were investigated at the end of the fermentation. The results revealed that the samples made with killed cells gave the lowest storage modulus, loss modulus, stress crossover point and loss tangent. The frequency‐sweep of yoghurt samples containing paraprobiotics added before fermentation showed the highest correlation coefficient. In the case of sensory assessment, significant differences were indicated among treatments. Adding killed cells of B. animalis subsp. lactis BB‐12 before fermentation produced yoghurt with the highest total score, whereas samples containing killed cells of L. acidophilus ATCCSD 5221 and B. animalis subsp. lactis BB‐12 added before fermentation exhibited the lowest total score.
The impact of patient‐centered medical home certification on quality of care for patients with diabetes
Authors: Carlin Caroline S. , Peterson Kevin , Solberg Leif I. 
Published: November 2020

AbstractObjectiveTo identify the impact of changes surrounding certification as a patient‐centered medical home (PCMH) on outcomes for patients with diabetes.Study SettingMinnesota legislation established mandatory quality reporting for patients with diabetes and statewide standards for certification as a PCMH. Patient‐level quality reporting data (2008‐2018) were used to study the impact of transition to a PCMH.Study DesignAchievement of Minnesota's optimal diabetes care standard—in aggregate and by component—was modeled for adult patients with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes as a function of time relative to the year the patient's primary care practice achieved PCMH certification. Patients from uncertified practices were used to control for general trend. Practice‐level random effects captured time‐invariant characteristics of practices and the practices’ average patient.Data CollectionElectronic health record data were submitted by 695 Minnesota practices capturing components of the quality standard: blood sugar control, cholesterol control, blood pressure control, nonsmoking status, and use of aspirin.Principal FindingsThe first cohort of practices achieving PCMH certification (July 2010‐June 2014) showed statistically insignificant changes in optimal care. The next cohort of practices (July 2014‐June 2018) achieved larger, clinically meaningful increases in quality of care during the time prior to and following certification. Specifically, this second cohort of practices was estimated to achieve a 12.8 percentage‐point improvement (P < .001) in the predicted probability of providing optimal diabetes care over the period spanning 3 years before to 3 years after certification.ConclusionsOur results suggest that the initial cohort of certified practices was already performing at a high level before certification, perhaps requiring little change in their operations to achieve PCMH certification. The second cohort, on the other hand, made meaningful, quality‐improving changes in the years surrounding certification. Differences by cohort may partially explain the inconsistent PCMH impacts found in the literature.
Identification of triglycerides in liquid and fire debris samples by triple quadrupole liquid chromatography‐mass spectrometry
Authors: Bryant Craig M. , Warnica Josephine M. , Chen Rachel , Shepard Cara 
Published: November 2020

AbstractAnalysis of fire debris for triglyceride‐based oils may be of interest to fire investigators depending on the circumstances of a particular fire. Such circumstances include accidental or intentionally set cooking oil fires, fires involving triglyceride‐based “eco” fire log products, and spontaneous ignition fires that involve drying oils on rags. Many forensic laboratories utilize gas chromatography‐mass spectrometry following fatty acid methyl esterification to identify triglyceride residues in fire debris extracts. This study explores an alternate approach, which involves the identification of intact triglycerides by liquid chromatography‐mass spectrometry‐mass spectrometry (LC‐MS/MS). 52 triglyceride‐based oils and fats (22 different types) were analyzed by LC‐MS/MS using multiple reaction monitoring to investigate variation in triglyceride content between different brands and types of oil and fat. Selected oils were then degraded by exposure to air, typical cooking conditions and/or fire conditions to simulate samples that are typically encountered by Fire Debris Analysts in fire investigation cases. Triglycerides were identified in all pristine and degraded oil samples, and relative peak areas for degraded samples often resembled their pristine oil counterparts. In samples where relative peak area differences were noted, more predominant degradation was observed for triglycerides with a higher proportion of poly‐unsaturated fatty acids. Variability in triglyceride content between different brands and types of oil are discussed, as well as factors affecting the identification of triglyceride peaks in commercial oil samples, as compared to the corresponding analytical standard.
Cricopharyngeal bar and dermatomyositis: A cause of rapidly progressive dysphagia
Authors: Adams Cameron Louis , Lohan Siobhan , Bruce Alana , Kamalaraj Narainraj , Gunaratne Shyamini , White Ray 
Published: November 2020

AbstractBackgroundIdiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) are immune‐mediated conditions that affect striated muscle, and are frequently associated with dysphagia. Dysphagia in these cases can be due to weakness of the muscles involved in swallowing or the presence of restrictive pharyngeal defects, such as cricopharyngeal bars. Treatment of dysphagia in IIM revolves around immunosuppressive therapies, and procedures to disrupt cricopharyngeus muscle when immunosuppressive therapies are unsuccessful.Case reportA 73‐year‐old female presented with rapidly progressive proximal muscle weakness and dysphagia to the point she could not swallow liquids or solids. She had a rash over the extensor surfaces of the limbs, and periorbital‐edema. Her creatine kinase was elevated, and skin biopsy showed an interface inflammatory reaction; however, myositis line assay revealed no autoantibodies, and a muscle biopsy was unremarkable. She was diagnosed with dermatomyositis with life‐threatening dysphagia, and was admitted to our institution and treated with corticosteroids, methotrexate and intravenous immunoglobulin. A videofluoroscopic swallowing study revealed a large esophageal protrusion at the level of C5‐C6, which was thought to be consistent with a cricopharyngeal bar, with large boluses unable to pass, leading to aspiration. After 10 weeks of treatment, the cricopharyngeal bar remained present, but swallowing had improved to the point that she was successfully swallowing all consistencies.ConclusionDysphagia associated with IIM can be multifactorial, and can be due to the involvement of the muscles of swallowing in the inflammatory process, or due to restrictive pharyngeal defects, and determination of the cause of dysphagia can assist with management.
