University-centred entrepreneurial ecosystems in resource-constrained contexts
Authors: Bedő Zsolt , Erdős Katalin , Pittaway Luke 
Published: October 2020

PurposeResearch on entrepreneurial ecosystems has advanced over recent years and has become a popular topic. Despite the interest, previous work has focused on entrepreneurial ecosystems in large cities in the United States. Ecosystems in small cities, underpopulated rural areas, university towns and outside the USA have not been considered much. This paper begins to address this deficit by reviewing three groups of literature.Design/methodology/approachFrom the review, the paper builds a conceptual framework to consider entrepreneurial ecosystems led by universities. After summarizing the literature on entrepreneurial ecosystems, entrepreneurial universities and entrepreneurship education, the paper suggests a conceptual framework outlying the structure, components and mechanisms that enable universities to operate as catalysts in the creation of entrepreneurial ecosystems.FindingsIt is evident that on many of the “ingredients” of a successful entrepreneurial ecosystem, a resource-constrained environment would have many gaps. Building an entrepreneurship ecosystem in such contexts would be inherently challenging. The model presented suggests that the presence of a university in such locations should enhance the prospects of progress but that the nature of the university itself would impact any outcomes. Universities that make concerted efforts to be entrepreneurial and that have entrepreneurship programmes have strategies available to them that can enhance entrepreneurship ecosystems over time.Originality/valueThe contribution of this paper is to show “how” a university and its entrepreneurship programme can operationally address deficits in a local ecosystem and how it might bring about positive change. The paper also opens new avenues for entrepreneurship education researchers.
“Too much of a good thing?”: exploring the dark side of empowering leadership by linking it with unethical pro-organizational behavior

Published: October 2020

PurposeGrounded in social exchange theory (SET), the purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between empowering leadership and unethical pro-organizational behavior (UPB), as mediated by duty orientation (including duty to members, duty to mission and duty to codes). Further, this study proposes that perceived leader expediency moderates indirectly between empowering leadership and UPB.Design/methodology/approachThis paper tests this social exchange model across a survey study using time-lagged data collections from 215 employees of a service company in China.FindingsThe results show that duty orientation mediates the relationship between empowering leadership and UPB. In addition, perceived leader expediency moderates the indirect relationship between empowering leadership and UPB through duty orientation (i.e. duty to members and duty to missions).Originality/valueThis research aids in understanding the impact of empowering leadership on follower outcomes by investigating the dark side of empowering leadership and examining the relationships between empowering leadership, duty orientation and UPB. The present study also challenges the notion that the phrase “the greater the empowerment, the better the outcomes” suggests that organizations should offer a conditional approach to the empowerment of followers by their leaders.

PurposeSocial comments are rich in information and useful in evaluating, ranking or retrieving different kinds of materials. However, their merits in representing or providing added values to scientific articles have not yet been studied. Therefore, the present study investigates the informativeness of open review reports as a kind of social comments in a scholarly setting.Design/methodology/approachA test collection was built consisting of 100 randomly selected queries, 1,962 reviewed documents and their reviewers' open reports from F1000Research. They were analyzed using natural language techniques. The comments' salient words were compared to the documents' and also to the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) salient words. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to test the accuracy of the comments in representing their related articles.FindingsThe papers' contents and comments have a considerable number of salient words in common. The comments' salient words are also largely found in the MeSH, signifying their consistency with the knowledge tree and their potential to add some complementary features to their related items. The ROC curves confirm the accuracy of the comments in retrieving their related papers.Originality/valueThis research is the first to reveal the merits of open review reports on scientific papers, in terms of their relatedness to their mother articles, in specific, and to the knowledge tree, in general. They are found informative in not only representing the reviewed papers but also in adding values to the contents of the papers.

Authors: Islam M. Nazmul , Furuoka Fumitaka , Idris Aida 
Published: October 2020

PurposeThe research aims to investigate the impact of transformational leadership on employee championing behavior and to determine the mediating effect of work engagement in the context of organizational change.Design/methodology/approachThis is a quantitative approach, which is based on cross-sectional data. In total, 300 available cases are processed through structural equation modeling in order to infer the results.FindingsThe results indicate that transformational leadership is significantly related to championing behavior during organizational change. Moreover, work engagement fully mediates the relationship between transformational leadership and championing behavior in the context of organizational change.Practical implicationsManagers should emphasize the practice of the transformational leadership approach, as well as should stress the antecedents of work engagement in order to foster the employee championing behavior in the context of organizational change.Originality/valueThe research contributes to the change management and human resource management literature by providing a plausible explanation of the mediating role of work engagement in connecting transformational leadership and employee championing behavior in the context of organizational change.

Published: October 2020

AbstractThe forensic science community raised the need for improved evidence recognition, collection, and visualization analytical instrumentation for field and laboratory use. While the 3D optical techniques for imaging static objects have been extensively studied, there is still a major gap between current knowledge and collecting high‐quality footwear and tire impression evidence. Among optical means for 3D imaging, digital fringe projection (DFP) techniques reconstruct 3D shape from phase information, achieving camera‐pixel spatial resolution. This paper presents a high‐resolution 3D imaging technology using DFP techniques dedicated to footwear and tire impression capture. We developed fully automated software algorithms and a graphical user interface (GUI) that allow anyone without training to operate for high‐quality 3D data capture. We performed accuracy evaluations and comparisons comparing with the commercial high‐end 3D scanner and carried out qualitative tests for various impressions comparing with the current practices. Overall, our technology achieves similar levels of accuracy and resolution with a high‐end commercially available 3D scanner, while having the merits of being (1) more affordable; (2) much easier to operate; and (3) more robust. Compared with the current practice of casting, our technology demonstrates its superiority because it (1) is non‐destructive; (2) collects more evidence detail than casts, especially when an impression is fragile; (3) requires less time and money to collect each piece of evidence; and (4) results in a digital file that can easily be shared with other examiners.
Race, ethnicity, and social change: The democratization of middle‐class crime*
Authors: Benson Michael L. , Feldmeyer Ben , Gabbidon Shaun L. , Chio Hei Lam 
Published: October 2020

AbstractSince the mid‐1970s, the percentage of non‐White people convicted of white‐collar type crimes in the federal judicial system has been growing steadily. In 2015, non‐Whites accounted for more than half of all convictions for certain white‐collar type crimes, but the increase in non‐White participation has not occurred evenly across all race and ethnic groups. Asians and Latinos have increased their participation in white‐collar crime more so than Blacks. Using data from the U.S. Sentencing Commission, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and the U.S. Census, we investigate whether the differential increase among race and ethnic groups in white‐collar type crimes can be explained by their differential increase in middle‐class occupations. The findings have implications for opportunity, cultural, and race‐centered perspectives on crime, as well as institutional anomie theory, and they suggest that low‐level white‐collar crimes are being democratized along lines of race and ethnicity.
A New Growth Model of Fault Attributes in a Strike‐Slip Fault System in the Tarim Basin
Authors: ZHANG Yintao , WU Guanghui , WANG Junfang , LI Guohui , WAN Xiaoguo , YANG Tianyi 
Published: October 2020

AbstractFault attributes generally display a consistent power–law‐scaling relationship. Based on new 3D seismic data, however, we found some exceptional fault attribute relationships of lengths (L)–throw (T) (vertical component of displacement), overlap zone length (Lo)–width (Wo) from a strike‐slip fault system of the Ordovician carbonates in the Tarim Basin. The L–T relationship shows two linear segments with breakup at ∼40 km in fault length. This presents an exceptional throw increase in the second stage, which is attributed to a localization of vertical displacement and deformation in overlapping zones other than the different fault scales in a mature fault zone. The Lo–Wo relationship in the overlapping zones shows multiply stepped‐shape patterns, suggesting multiple fault differential growth and periodic increase in fault size. Therefore, we propose a new alternative growth model of fault attributes in strike‐slip fault zones, in which the overlapping zones accumulated localized displacement and deformation in the intracratonic strike‐slip fault zone.
Common datastream permutations of animal social network data are not appropriate for hypothesis testing using regression models

Abstract

Social network methods have become a key tool for describing, modelling and testing hypotheses about the social structures of animals. However, due to the non‐independence of network data and the presence of confounds, specialised statistical techniques are often needed to test hypotheses in these networks. Datastream permutations, originally developed to test the null hypothesis of random social structure, have become a popular tool for testing a wide array of null hypotheses in animal social networks. In particular, they have been used to test whether exogenous factors are related to network structure by interfacing these permutations with regression models.

Here, we show that these datastream permutations typically do not represent the null hypothesis of interest to researchers interfacing animal social network analysis with regression modelling, and use simulations to demonstrate the potential pitfalls of using this methodology.

Our simulations show that, if used to indicate whether a relationship exists between network structure and a covariate, datastream permutations can result in extremely high type I error rates, in some cases approaching 50%. In the same set of simulations, traditional node‐label permutations produced appropriate type I error rates (~5%).

Our analysis shows that datastream permutations do not represent the appropriate null hypothesis for these analyses. We suggest that potential alternatives to this procedure may be found in regarding the problems of non‐independence of network data and unreliability of observations separately. If biases introduced during data collection can be corrected, either prior to model fitting or within the model itself, node‐label permutations then serve as a useful test for interfacing animal social network analysis with regression modelling.

We conclude with recommended policies to build forward and achieve inclusive development.
The nexus between zakat and poverty reduction, is the effective utilization of zakat necessary for achieving SDGs: A multidimensional poverty index approach
Authors: Aziz Yasir , Mansor Fadillah , Waqar Shujaa , Haji Abdullah Luqman 
Published: October 2020

AbstractThis study develops and validates a comprehensive mechanism for evaluating the effect of zakat (obligatory alms‐giving) on reducing poverty and attaining some of the prominent Sustainable Development Goals. The study unconventionally analyzes the effect of macrolevel data on microlevel data on district level of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. Microlevel data are utilized from a renowned national survey, Pakistan Social and Living Standards Measurement Survey (PSLM) from which the Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) has been computed, whereas the macrolevel data have been collected from Zakat & Usher Department Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Based on the nature of nested data set, we have used a multilevel model to counter intra‐class correlation. The findings confirmed and validated that the novel aspect of the zakat negatively affects the multidimensional poverty and portray significant contribution in targeting several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Pakistan. Based on the empirical evidence, Zakat being as an obligatory arm which equips individuals to fulfill their necessities, this paper suggests necessary strategies toward zakat disbursement. The mechanism should be refined to stimulate economic growth and pursue SDGs via financial empowerment of less advantaged class of society by reducing poverty in developing countries like Pakistan. Moreover, the methodology adopted in the study opens doors for more enabling and conducive research practices in order to decompose the results and design policies accordingly.
Immersive virtual reality in K‐12 and higher education: A 10‐year systematic review of empirical research
Authors: Di Natale Anna Flavia , Repetto Claudia , Riva Giuseppe , Villani Daniela 
Published: October 2020

AbstractImmersive Virtual Reality (IVR) systems offer several learning affordances, that is, characteristics that can elicit learning behaviors promoting learning outcomes in educational contexts. In particular, the immersive and interactive properties of these systems represent a strong opportunity to support the effective learning experiences. The present review aims at mapping IVR systems’ use in K‐12 and higher educational contexts and investigating their effectiveness in facilitating learning in terms of knowledge attainment and retention and motivational outcomes. The synthesis of the reviewed studies (n = 18) show that IVR can support a number of activities and experiences that in turn improve learning and motivate students to fulfill educational goals by eliciting their interest and engagement with the learning materials. The main advantage of IVR seems related to the possibility for users to have first‐hand experiences that would not be possible in the real world, simultaneously offering unique opportunities for experiential and situated learning, as well as promoting students’ motivation and engagement. Despite the promising findings, the reviewed studies present several methodological flaws: non‐randomized trials, small sample sizes, unbalanced samples and non‐validated measures. This in turn makes it difficult to generalize from these results. Future research is needed to investigate the unique opportunities of IVR in education.

AbstractPrior to the COVID‐19 pandemic, laryngoscopy was the mandatory gold standard for the accurate assessment and diagnosis of inducible laryngeal obstruction. However, upper airway endoscopy is considered an aerosol‐generating procedure in professional guidelines, meaning routine procedures are highly challenging and the availability of laryngoscopy is reduced. In response, we have convened a multidisciplinary panel with broad experience in managing this disease and agreed a recommended strategy for presumptive diagnosis in patients who cannot have laryngoscopy performed due to pandemic restrictions. To maintain clinical standards whilst ensuring patient safety, we discuss the importance of triage, information gathering, symptom assessment and early review of response to treatment. The consensus recommendations will also be potentially relevant to other future situations where access to laryngoscopy is restricted, although we emphasize that this investigation remains the gold standard.
Inclusion bodies are not uncommon in angioleiomyoma

Published: October 2020

AbstractBackgroundLeiomyomas with eosinophilic intracytoplasmic inclusion bodies have been described in the urinary bladder, brain, gastrointestinal tract, uterus, and oral cavity but not in the skin. Prompted by our recent experience with a case of cutaneous angioleiomyoma with many inclusion bodies, we hypothesized that similar cases might have been previously overlooked.MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed 30 cases of angioleiomyoma and 10 cases of piloleiomyoma focusing on inclusion bodies.ResultsMore than 18 inclusion bodies per 250 μm squared were detected in five cases of angioleiomyoma, fewer than 11 bodies in 20 cases, and none in five cases. For the case with numerous inclusion bodies throughout the specimen, special staining was needed to make a diagnosis. No inclusion bodies were found in the piloleiomyomas.ConclusionInclusion bodies are relatively common in angioleiomyomas and can occasionally be numerous. They may serve as a point of distinction from piloleiomyomas. Because the presence of multiple eosinophilic intracytoplasmic inclusions can result in a rhabdoid appearance and make diagnosis challenging, we should be aware of this feature in angioleiomyomas.
Cutaneous lymphohistiocytic infiltrates with foamy macrophages: A novel histopathological clue to Stenotrophomonas maltophilia septicemia
Authors: Saggini Andrea , Gorkiewicz Gregor , Cerroni Lorenzo 
Published: October 2020

AbstractThe best‐known cutaneous manifestations of septicemia in the skin are the so‐called “septic vasculitis” and “septic vasculopathy,” which represent two sides of the same pathogenetic process. The spectrum of cutaneous presentations of septicemia is, however, more complex, extending beyond septic vasculitis/vasculopathy. We describe the exceptional histopathological findings of skin lesions associated with Stenotrophomonas maltophilia septicemia, featuring a lymphohistiocytic infiltrate characterized by predominance of foamy macrophages containing granular basophilic material negative for PAS, Gram, Fite, and Grocott. Albeit an uncommon occurrence, S. maltophilia septicemia should be included in the broad differential diagnosis of cutaneous lesions occurring in immunocompromised individuals with worsening general conditions. Awareness of these histopathological findings may facilitate the identification of this insidious infectious agent as a source of nosocomial septicemia.
State‐oriented service‐delivery partnership with civil society organizations in the context of counter‐terrorism in Nigeria
Authors: Njoku Emeka Thaddues 
Published: October 2020

AbstractMotivationLittle is known about how partnerships between the state and civil society organizations (CSOs) to deliver services as part of counter‐terrorism measures (CTMs) work in practice; nor how CSOs make sense of such partnerships and their implications.PurposeThis article examines patterns in partnerships between the state and CSOs to deliver services. It investigates how CSOs perceive this partnership and the socio‐political and policy implications.Approach and MethodsFaith‐based, youth/children CSOs, women’s and human rights groups engaged in capacity building, technical assistance and advocacy in counter‐terrorism operations in northeast Nigeria were studied. A mixed‐method design was adopted to examine the experiences and perspectives of CSO managers and field staff, as well as the views of government officials, including security agents involved in counter‐terrorism.FindingsThe state contracted the CSOs to deliver services, but not to engage in political advocacy. Thus, the state controlled the political realm and influenced the non‐political arena. CSOs believed that the service‐delivery partnership impinged on their organizational principles and capacity to demand government accountability and transparency.Policy implicationsCSOs should be engaged as vital and equal partners in addressing security issues. Excluding advocacy‐oriented CSOs from security measures is counter‐productive. It potentially silences public demands for transparency, accountability and justice, thereby entrenching insecurity and impinging on humanitarian interventions. Restricting CSOs to service delivery undercuts their ability to connect government and society.
