Sustainable development: an adaptive re-use solution for the hospitality industry
Authors: Liang Tonglin Chelsea , Wong Elena Suen Fei 
Published: September 2020

PurposeThis paper aims to explore how adaptive re-use (AR) could be used more frequently and extensively in the hospitality industry as a viable strategy to help achieve the United Nations sustainable development goals (UN SDGs) agenda for 2030. In particular, the paper discusses the benefits and drawbacks of AR and further investigates the appeal of AR over rebuilding, in both a general sense and specific to hospitality settings.Design/methodology/approachThe study provides a literature review and thematic analysis based on semi-structured interviews about AR projects and its application in hospitality settings. In so doing, the article draws on knowledge and insights from experts and practitioners involved in AR projects globally. The professional interviewees’ expertize ranges from urban planning, sustainable development, architecture to sustainable hospitality solutions.FindingsThe results illustrate how AR is a mindset not only applicable to specific buildings or environments but also how it is a vital solution to sustainable development in hospitality. The social, environmental and economic benefits of AR outweigh the challenges and extend to being of regional and even national importance.Practical implicationsAR projects have the ability to stimulate improvement in the use of space and to transform entire communities – especially if there is more and improved support from local government and the relevant authorities. With sufficient incentives to make the projects economically viable, the outcome would be increased presence of cultural and historic preservation, more conservation of construction materials, energy and other resources relevant to the demolition and construction process. The application of AR contributes to attaining UN SDGs’ targets and the future will see more culturally rich, inclusive, sustainable cities and architecture.Originality/valueThere seems to be a lack of research in the field of AR in the hospitality context, particularly in relation to achieving the UN SDGs 2030. This paper aims to bridge this gap in knowledge, as well as to provide a starting point for a greater vision and coordination between governments, architects, hospitality professionals and all other involved stakeholders to boost sustainable development through AR.
Tympanoblissus ecuatorianus Dellapé & Minghetti, gen. et sp. nov, a new apterous genus of chinch bug (Hemiptera: Blissidae) from Ecuador: the only known blissid with an abdominal mechanism for sound production

Published: September 2020

AbstractTympanoblissus ecuatorianus Dellapé & Minghetti, gen. et sp. nov. from the Amazon slope of the Eastern Andean Cordillera in southern Ecuador is described. This constitutes the second apterous genus known in the family Blissidae and the first with a tymbal‐like mechanism of sound production. The tiny males hide in bamboo branches where they produce a faint drumming sound. The observed vertical vibration of the abdomen and the fused first two tergites folding on both sides of the midline are consistent with the presence of a tymbal‐like organ involving the first abdominal segments. Diagnoses, descriptions and illustrations of adult males and other characters, including the genitalia, as well as oscillograms of the acoustic signal are provided.

AbstractObjectivesTo examine the role of frailty in risk of re‐hospitalisation and mortality for aged care residents following a fall injury hospitalisation.MethodsRetrospective analysis of linked hospitalisation and aged care data of adults aged ≥65 years residing in aged care. A semi‐competing risk analysis examined risk of hospital readmission.ResultsResidents who had intermediate or high frailty, who were aged 70‐79 or 80‐89 years, who had 1‐2 or ≥3 comorbidities, sustained a hip fracture, and who had either low, moderate or high complex health‐care requirements had a higher risk of being readmitted to hospital. Frailty was not associated with mortality for those with no hospital readmission or mortality after readmission.ConclusionFrailty is an important prognostic factor associated with readmission for residents of aged care hospitalised for a fall injury. Frailty screening could assist to identify people at a high risk of re‐hospitalisation following a fall injury.

AbstractAimThe pathogenesis of obesity has been associated with high intake of dietary fat, and some recent studies have explored the cellular mechanisms of oro‐sensory detection of dietary fatty acids. We further assessed the role of transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) channels in oro‐sensory perception of dietary lipids.MethodsWe determined by RT‐qPCR and western blotting the expression of TRPC3/6/7 channels in mouse fungiform taste bud cells (mTBC). Immunocytochemistry was used to explore whether TRPC3 channels were co‐expressed with fatty acid receptors. We employed wild‐type (WT) mTBC, and those transfected with small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) against TRPC3 or STIM1. Ca2+ signalling was studied in TBC from TRPC3−/− mice and their WT littermates.ResultsWe demonstrate that mouse fungiform taste bud cells (mTBC) express TRPC3, but not TRPC6 or TRPC7 channels, and their inactivation by siRNA or experiments on TBC from TRPC3−/− mice brought about a decrease in fatty acid‐induced gustatory Ca2+ signalling, coupled with taste bud CD36 lipid sensor. TRPC3 channel activation was found to be under the control of STIM1 in lingual mTBC. Behavioural studies showed that spontaneous preference for a dietary long‐chain fatty acid was abolished in TRPC3−/− mice, and in mice wherein lingual TRPC3 expression was silenced by employing siRNA.ConclusionWe report that lingual TRPC3 channels are critically involved in fat taste perception.

SummaryBurkitt lymphoma (BL) accounts for almost two‐thirds of all B‐cell non‐Hodgkin lymphoma (B‐NHL) in children and adolescents and is characterised by a MYC translocation and rapid cell turnover. Intensive chemotherapeutic regimens have been developed in recent decades, including the lymphomes malins B (LMB) protocol, which have resulted in a survival rate in excess of 90%. Recent clinical trials have focused on immunochemotherapy, with the addition of rituximab to chemotherapeutic backbones, showing encouraging results. Despite these advances, relapse and refractory disease occurs in up to 10% of patients and salvage options for these carry a dismal prognosis. Efforts to better understand the molecular and functional characteristics driving relapse and refractory disease may help improve this prognosis. This study has established a paediatric BL patient‐derived xenograft (PDX) resource which captures and maintains tumour heterogeneity, may be used to better characterise tumours and identify cell populations responsible for therapy resistance.

Published: September 2020

AbstractBackgroundElderly patients are the fastest growing population requiring renal replacement therapy. As previous studies have shown a survival benefit of kidney transplantation compared to dialysis for end‐stage renal disease, we sought to evaluate if this survival benefit extends to octogenarians.MethodsThis was a single‐center retrospective cohort study of renal allograft recipients ≥80 years transplanted from 1999 to 2014 who were compared to patients listed during the same period that did not proceed to transplantation. A secondary matched group was selected from the UNOS transplant waitlist database. The primary outcome was patient survival. Secondary outcomes included graft survival and rejection incidence.ResultsThirty‐three transplanted patients were compared to 71 patients waitlisted at our center and 66 patients from the UNOS database. Patients in the study group were transplanted 20.8 ± 16.1 months after listing. Patient survival was 87.8% at 6 months and 1 year and 71.4% at 3 years. Kidney transplantation was associated with a significant decrease in the risk of death after listing (HR: 0.22, CI: 0.11‐0.45, P < .001).ConclusionWith escalating life expectancy, kidney transplantation is a suitable treatment option in eligible octogenarians.
Auschwitz. Not Long Ago. Not Far Away
Authors: Doering Zahava D. 
Published: September 2020

AbstractThis reviewer’s essay represents an odyssey, from question to print, that started in December 2019 with a visit to the exhibition, Auschwitz. Not long ago. Not far away. It was inspired by a view of New York's Statue of Liberty, seen through the rustling of tall trees, planted in 2003 by Holocaust survivors on New York’s Museum of Jewish Heritage’s terrace. As she looked out – and for many days since – she’s worked to understand the “why” of this exhibition and others like it. This reflective essay begins with a descriptive, non‐judgmental account of the Auschwitz exhibition, followed by a review and discussion of the exhibition’s impact and strategies. It explores whether the Auschwitz exhibition does, live up to the potential and the promise of its title. The author views the exhibition’s effectiveness through a behavioral lens; i.e., activities and actions extending beyond the exhibition. The essay concludes with the broader question of whether Holocaust exhibitions, and other exhibitions that address inhumanity and traumatic subjects, are capable of building the necessary bridge between history, empathy, and action to ever live up to that promise.
Upstream or Downstream: Who Should Provide Trade‐in Services in Dyadic Supply Chains?*

Published: September 2020

ABSTRACTAs observed in real‐world practices, trade‐ins can be offered by either the manufacturer or the retailer. The party offering the trade‐in program faces the trade‐off between the fixed trade‐in cost incurred and the additional revenue generated. By conducting a game‐theoretic study, we analytically explore in this article the optimal choice of trade‐in provider in a dyadic supply chain with a single manufacturer and a single retailer. We show that the trade‐in models can bear a much higher manufacturing cost and induce a higher new product sale than the benchmark case without trade‐ins. It is possible that both the manufacturer and retailer prefer to undertake the trade‐in program, which would lead to a conflict; or both firms prefer to be a free rider instead of being the trade‐in provider, which would fall into a prisoner's dilemma. Moreover, the powerful manufacturer has an incentive to delegate the trade‐in service to the retailer when facing a higher fixed trade‐in cost, but the delegation option is always worse off for the retailer compared to the scenario in which the retailer provides trade‐ins by herself. We also show that the trade‐in scenarios always benefit the environment and consumers of the replacement segment, but hurt the primary segment consumers. The social welfare would actually be higher in the scenarios with trade‐ins if the fixed trade‐in cost is relatively low and the residual value of old products is relatively high.

AbstractAimsThe persistence of atrial fibrillation (AF) has been associated with differential clinical outcomes, with studies showing that persistent and permanent AF results in increased morbidity and mortality when compared to the paroxysmal subtype. Given the established prognostic implications of AF subtype, we sought to discern the clinical and structural cardiac parameters associated with persistent/ permanent AF.Materials and methodsConsecutive patients admitted to our institution between January 2013 and January 2018 with a primary diagnosis of non‐valvular AF who underwent comprehensive transthoracic echocardiography were retrospectively appraised. Assessment of clinical and echocardiographic parameters was undertaken and compared according to AF subtype.ResultsOf 1010 patients, 665 (mean age 66.8 ± 13.5 years, 53% men) had comprehensive transthoracic echocardiography on index admission and were included in the primary analysis. The majority of patients (n = 468; 70%) had paroxysmal AF while 197 (30%) had persistent/ permanent AF. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that heart failure (adjusted OR 3.135; 95% CI 2.099 to 4.682, P < .001), right atrial (RA) area ≥18 cm2 (adjusted OR 2.147; 95% CI 1.413 to 3.261, P < .001) and left atrial emptying fraction (LAEF) ≤34% (adjusted OR 2.959; 95% CI 1.991 to 4.398, P < .001) were independent predictors of persistent /permanent AF.ConclusionsThe presence of heart failure, increased RA size and impaired LA function were associated with persistent/ permanent AF. These clinical and cardiac structural risk markers of AF persistence may identify a target population for early intervention to prevent adverse cardiovascular outcomes.

AbstractAimTo explore the relationship between cannabis use and metabolic syndrome (MetS) among those who have experienced first episode psychosis (FEP).MethodsA retrospective analysis of 404 participants enrolled in the Recovery After Initial Schizophrenia Episode‐Early Treatment Program (RAISE‐ETP) was conducted. Using multiple logistic regression, we investigated the correlation between cannabis use and rate of MetS at baseline and across time as well as the specific metabolic derangements among cannabis users and abstainers.ResultsAlthough cannabis users had similar rates of MetS at baseline when compared with abstainers, those who used cannabis at any time during the study period tended to have lower triglycerides and elevated high‐density lipoprotein (HDL). Cannabis users were less likely to develop MetS, relative to nonusers.ConclusionsCannabis use may be associated with lower incidence of MetS in patients who have experienced FEP. Further research is indicated to develop these observations.
A hybrid model for financial time‐series forecasting based on mixed methodologies
Authors: Luo Zhidan , Guo Wei , Liu Qingfu , Zhang Zhengjun 
Published: September 2020

AbstractThis paper proposes a hybrid model that combines ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD), autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA), and Taylor expansion using a tracking differentiator to forecast financial time series. Specifically, the financial time series is decomposed by EEMD into some subseries. Then, the linear portion of each subseries is forecasted by the linear ARIMA model, while the nonlinear portion is predicted by the nonlinear Taylor expansion model. The forecasting results of the linear and nonlinear models are combined into the predicted result of each subseries. The final prediction result is obtained by combining the prediction values of all the subseries. The empirical results with real financial time series data demonstrate that this new hybrid approach outperforms the benchmark hybrid models considered in this paper.

Published: September 2020

AbstractCOSCO and China Shipping Container Lines (CSCL) merged and reorganized as COSCO Shipping Lines in 2016. Through using a complex network methodology, we analyze the spatial patterns of their shipping networks before and after the merger. We evaluate the integration effects based on two main dimensions: network and hub economies. While complementarities are found between COSCO and CSCL networks before the merger, COSCO Shipping Lines increased the total number of service nodes and shipping routes significantly. The merger also had the effect of strengthening the hub capacity of 7 of the top 15 hub ports in the main markets covered by the new company. Results underline that this strategy of overseas pivotal ports promoted the development of hub economy and regional market expansion.

Published: September 2020

AbstractCommon vetch (Vicia sativa L.) is a leguminous plant used as forage and cover crops. A protocol of ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS)‐induced mutations was established in the present study, based on analysis of seed germination and emergence rate, seedling growth and abnormal plant percentage as affected by combinations of EMS concentration and treatment time. Treatment of seeds with 0.1% EMS for 9 and 12 hr or 0.5% EMS for 6 and 9 hr led to 43%–66% normal plants, which was suggested to be used for EMS‐induced mutations in common vetch. The wild‐type common vetch showed red with accumulation of anthocyanins in winter, and two lines showing separation of anthocyanin accumulation (labeled as A+) and without anthocyanin accumulation (labeled as A–) plants were selected from M2 plants induced by EMS in the field. The A– plants showing green color had higher plant height and fresh shoot weight than the A+ plants during wintering, with lower ion leakage after freezing treatment, indicating that the green mutants (A–) had increased cold tolerance. Compared to A+ plants, the green mutants had significantly increased ascorbate (AsA) level in response to low temperature treatment. The results suggest that the increased AsA level under low temperature was associated with the increased cold tolerance in the green mutants.
Differences in grain yield responses to planting density in twin and narrow row cultivation between early and late maize cultivars

Published: September 2020

AbstractWe investigated how two planting patterns, twin row (TR) and narrow row (NR), affected maize grain yield compared with conventional row (CR) cultivation at five different planting densities, ranging from 7 to 12 plants/m2, over 2 years using early and late cultivars. For all the planting patterns, the relationship between grain yield and planting density could be fit using the quadratic curve Y = a (X − b)2 + c at the <1% level of significance, where a represents grain yield response to planting density, and c represents the maximum yield. Regardless of the cultivar’s maturation period, the magnitude of a was smaller for TR than for NR and CR. Although the late cultivar had a higher c value than the early cultivar, the a value and annual difference were larger. For the early and late cultivars, TR at 10.8 and 9.9 plants/m2, respectively, easily achieved stable high grain yields. The large magnitude of the grain yield response to planting density for the late cultivar was caused by the large decrease in the number of grains per ear and the harvest index at an above optimum planting density. This large decrease and instability in yield‐related traits resulted from a high maximum leaf area index, the frequent mutual shading of leaf blades and the large differences between the years.
COMMUNICATION AND MARKET SHARING: AN EXPERIMENT ON THE EXCHANGE OF SOFT AND HARD INFORMATION
Authors: Freitag Andreas , Roux Catherine , Thöni Christian 
Published: September 2020

AbstractWe study the role of communication in collusive market sharing. In a series of Cournot oligopoly experiments with multiple markets, we vary the information that firms can exchange: hard information—verifiable information about past conduct—and soft information—unbinding information about future conduct. We find that the effect of communication on the firms' ability to collude depends on the type of information available: Whereas market prices increase only slightly with hard information, the price raise due to soft information is substantial. Our results point to the types and contents of communication that should be of particular concern to antitrust authorities.
