Up with data, down with siloes how businesses can connect ERP capabilities to better outcomes for their projects, their employees and their customers
Authors: Critzer Stacy , Koster Kim 
Published: July 2020

Purpose
Employees are being forced to retreat to their home offices for remote working during the Covid-19 crisis, while employers are left wondering what the scattering of their workforces would do to collaboration, accountability and visibility across their organizations and whether it would give rise to the operational siloes and data fiefdoms that they had been bent on dismantling? At the epicenter of the pandemic, just the opposite was happening in the unlikeliest of places: a health-care operation in New York City. In a profession known for monolithic silos, at least one company was demonstrating how eliminating siloes can heighten collaboration, increase efficiency and ultimately yield better outcomes.

Design/methodology/approach
Businesses can promote visibility, the free flow of information and collaboration across an enterprise, while keeping siloes from creeping back into the organization looking at resource management, assessment of the quality of your data, along with ERP capabilities and alignment around project-specific and overarching strategic goals.

Findings
Four steps include defining the KPIs that will help drive your strategy – project-based and enterprise/portfolio-wide – using both internal and external benchmarks, looking for trends in the data and diving deeper. Once these practices and processes become the norm across an organization, the siloes that erode productivity and efficiency should start to crumble, and your real-world outcomes should begin to look a lot more like the ideal-world outcomes that you have been striving for. Then you will know your ERP upgrade has been worthwhile.

Originality/value
To select the right integrated tool for your organization, there are seven questions to ask, such as what is the architecture of the software? Is the software company you are buying from customer-focused? Will using the system properly yield cost savings for the organization?
Private Law and Housing Justice in Europe
Authors: Domurath Irina , Mak Chantal 
Published: July 2020

AbstractThis article explores the different meanings of the right to housing in Europe in public and private relations with housing providers. In light of the fundamental right to housing's meaning in the case law of the European Court of Human Rights and the Court of Justice of the European Union, we offer a new reading of the CJEU judgments that have hitherto been heralded as extending the social dimension of EU (private) law. We submit that the emphasis on economic and procedural rights risks further ‘economisation’ of housing relations in Europe. While the possibilities to grant direct horizontal effect to the right to housing in EU law currently offer limited potential to counter this trend, private law provides part of the framework for a further balancing of social and economic elements in housing cases. Accordingly, we call for a debate on the specific aspects of horizontal relationships in the complex system of housing justice.
Towards Resilient Rotterdam? Key conditions for a networked approach to managing urban infrastructure risks
Authors: Huck Andreas , Monstadt Jochen , Driessen Peter P. J. , Rudolph‐Cleff Annette 
Published: July 2020

AbstractCritical infrastructures are increasingly recognized to be playing important roles in urban resilience theory and practice. However, little is known about which governance challenges result from making them an integral part of urban resilience policies and what role city administrations play or could play in the resulting governance arrangements. We address these shortcomings in the scholarly literature by analysing the case of the Dutch city of Rotterdam, which has positioned itself as a front runner with regard to urban resilience. We find that the city administration is limited in its authority and depends on decisions made by other public and private actors, particularly those relating to the integrated management of interconnected infrastructure networks such as those for water and energy provision. We therefore argue that institutionalizing resilience will strongly depend on city administrations’ institutional capacity to manage networks more effectively. For this, we derive key conditions for institutional adjustments in current governance arrangements. Necessary adjustments include redefining roles and responsibilities for cross‐territorial risk management, cross‐sectoral and cross‐departmental budgeting of resilience measures, and integrating local actions and measures with those at regional and national levels of government. Our conclusions call for national and supranational legal reforms to establish uniform procedural rules for urban risk management and contingency planning to provide guidance for municipalities on how to enhance the resilience of their cities and infrastructures.

AbstractSelf‐immolation is a rare suicide method in the developed countries of the western world (0.06–1%); however, it has relatively higher prevalence rates in the developing countries of Asia and Africa (6–57%). The present study aims to examine self‐immolation suicides within the Greek mainland (Attiki, Thrace, and Peloponnese) over a period of 9 years (2011–2019) in order to investigate the phenomenon in the Greek population forensically, identify the characteristics and motivations of suicide victims, explore its associations to socio‐cultural or psychiatric factors, and describe a fatal case of suicide by self‐immolation that was partially recorded on camera. The medical files (autopsy reports) of cases performed at the Departments of Forensic Medicine of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Democritus University of Thrace, and the Forensic Service of Messinia—Peloponnese were retrospectively examined yielding 19 cases of suicides by self‐immolation. A 3.7% prevalence of suicide by self‐immolation among suicide fatalities within the Greek population was estimated. A distinctive feature of the Greek population regarding self‐immolation was disclosed that it is being practiced predominantly by the elderly (mean age 2–3.5 decades higher than other countries). The phenomenon correlated strongly with poorly controlled mental disorders (mostly affective and adjustment disorders). Unlike other countries, there was no significant association with domestic or sexual violence, social or political protest, or religious issues. Therefore, the suicide victims preferred secluded or private outdoor locations (not public). Findings deriving from the examined variables localize Greek population culturally between the Western European and Asian African countries, but with its own idiosyncrasies.
State Intervention Does Not Support the Development of the Media Sector: Lessons from Korea and Japan
Authors: Otmazgin Nissim 
Published: July 2020

AbstractContemporary media production in East Asia has been booming in recent decades, reaching consumers of various nationalities to an extent unseen before. Concurrently, various collaborations in the production and promotion of movies, TV programs, animation, videogames, music, and the like have intensified and become more effective in delivering cultural content across national borders. The state in East Asia, once considered a custodian of local culture and a censor of foreign influences, has gradually changed its position and now views media production and its export as an integral part of market activity beneficial for both economy and diplomacy. Drawing upon governmental reports and interviews with government officials and media industry personnel in Korea and Japan, this paper examines the way the state reacts to the massive production and export of media culture, its attempt to integrate it within its developmental economic model, and the bureaucratic restructuring this process entails. The central argument presented is that state policy toward the media sector, and the abundance of institutions dealing with this sector in Korea and Japan, are the result of the growth of market‐led media production and globalization. In other words, media industry development is not the result of policy, policy is the result of media industry development. In a wider context, this paper aims to better conceptualize the relations between state policy and media production in East Asia and the dynamics of industrial globalization under state guidance.
How Chinese Filmmakers Effectively Respond to Chinese Government Policy for Enhancing Their Competitiveness
Authors: Moon Hwy‐Chang , Yin Wenyan 
Published: July 2020

AbstractIn spite of the substantial liberalization of China’s film industry, it is still highly regulated and protected from foreign competition through a series of policy measures. In the midst of pushing both liberalization and protectionism, Chinese firms tend to exploit favorable government policies and avoid restrictive regulations through alternative options to maximize profits. Most preceding studies emphasized the liberalization efforts by the Chinese government as a significant contribution to the film industry, while neglecting the response and strategies of Chinese filmmakers that have upgraded their overall competitiveness. Therefore, this paper aims to examine the government‐firm interplay and their influences on the enhanced competitive advantages of Chinese filmmakers and the film industry, by utilizing the theoretical framework of the ABCD model to demonstrate this interaction. Based on the comprehensive analysis of both Chinese achievements and remaining challenges, this study further provides useful policy implications for improving China’s film industry.

Published: July 2020

Abstract
Biocontrol agents (BCAs) are commonly sprayed on flowering pipfruit trees to prevent them from getting infected by various pathogens. By entomovectoring, BCAs can be directly delivered onto the flowers. However, we currently lack knowledge on the distribution dynamics of BCAs by pollinators.
Here, managed bees, both bumble bees (Bombus terrestris) and mason bees (Osmia bicornis and Osmia cornuta), were placed in the vicinity of flowering pipfruit trees (pear ‐‘Conference’, and apple—‘Svatava’ and ‘Jonagold’), and this allowed us to investigate the distribution of a model BCA, namely, Serenade® MAX, from spray‐inoculated flowers of a centralized tree to non‐inoculated flowers of surrounding receiver trees by bees in an experimental setup in outdoor conditions.
One hour after inoculation, we detected an enrichment of BCA in the flowers of the receiver trees and this for each tested pipfruit.
The distribution of BCA from treated to untreated flowers was homogenous between the receiver trees for ‘Svatava’, while significantly different loads were detected for both ‘Conference’ and ‘Jonagold’, which might be due to differences in environmental factors, and/or bee characteristics.
More research is needed to understand the distribution dynamics of BCAs by pollinators in field conditions, such as in commercial orchards or crop fields, and how this could result in an efficient control.

SummaryCryptorchidism is the most common disorder of sex development in dogs and testosterone plays a crucial role in the inguinal phase of the testes descending into the scrotum. The molecular background of impaired testosterone synthesis in the testes of cryptorchid dogs is poorly elucidated. In this study, we analyzed the expression of four genes involved in testicular steroidogenesis (CYP17A1, CYP19A1, HSD3B2 and HSD17B3) in undescended and contralateral scrotal testes from inguinal unilateral cryptorchid dogs (n = 13) and from the scrotal gonads of normal males (n = 15). We found that transcript level of CYP17A1 was significantly increased in inguinal gonads, while the level of CYP19A1 was decreased. For these two genes, we analyzed the methylation level of single CpG sites in the promoter region localized within putative target sites for testicular transcription factors (NUR77, CREB, CAR and HSF2). A correlation between decreased methylation in the promoter of CYP17A1 and its increased transcript level in undescended gonads was observed, but the change in protein level was not significant. We also resequenced the 5ʹ‐flanking region of both genes and two known polymorphic sites, SNP in CYP17A1 and an indel in CYP19A1, were found. However, the distribution of the variants in affected (n = 80) and control (n = 75) dogs was not associated with cryptorchidism. We tentatively conclude that the altered expression of CYP17A1 and CYP19A1 in undescended testes could be caused by their exposure to increased temperature in the body. Furthermore, we showed that the identified polymorphisms cannot be considered markers associated with a predisposition to cryptorchidism.
Testosterone, mood, behaviour and quality of life
Authors: Zitzmann Michael 
Published: July 2020

AbstractTestosterone plays a pivotal role in maintaining balance within the multi‐dimensional psychological network of mood, behaviour, self‐perception and perceived quality of life in men of any age. Apart from classical forms of hypogonadism, low testosterone concentrations can also be seen in older men, described as an age‐ and comorbidity‐driven functional hypogonadism and might relate to depressive symptoms exhibiting a wide array of clinical pictures ranging from dysthymia and fatigue over inertia, listlessness to hopelessness and suicidal thoughts. Also, various traits of anxiety, from unfocussed fear to phobic anxiousness and open panic syndromes, are influenced by testosterone. Correspondingly, anxiolysis is likely to be modulated by testosterone via stress resilience, threat vigilance and reward processing. The steroid modulates pro‐active and re‐active dimensions of aggression, which has to be seen within the context of gaining or maintaining status. This may also include other strategies impacting the social position: heroic or parochial altruism and non‐aggressive paths of assertiveness, such as posture and social vigilance. Independent rather than relationship‐associated self‐construal and self‐esteem influence risk‐taking traits under the modulation of testosterone. In addition, the genetic setting of the androgen receptor modulates the role of testosterone in aspects regarding mood and personality. Dimensions of sexuality are rather important in this context, but are not target of this article and covered in another part of this special edition. Overall, the quality of life in older hypogonadal men can be positively influenced by testosterone substitution, as has been demonstrated in large placebo‐controlled trials.

AimsPoor efficacy has been reported for patients with BRAF mutations for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC).MethodsEREBUS is a French cohort study of wild‐type (wt) KRAS unresectable mCRC patients initiating a first‐line treatment with cetuximab from 2009 to 2010, followed for two years (five years for vital status). Molecular genetics platforms have provided additional RAS and BRAF mutation testing results. Progression‐free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were assessed according to tumour mutation (mt) status: RASmt/BRAFany, RASwt/BRAFmt and RASwt/BRAFwt. Multivariate Cox analyses were used to evaluate association between mutation status and death or progression.ResultsA total of 389 patients were included in 65 centres and with a known tumour mutation status: 64 RASmt/BRAFany (21%), 33 RASwt/BRAFmt (13%) and 213 RASwt/BRAFwt (87%). Respective baseline characteristics were: median age 65, 64 and 63 years, male gender 63%, 64% and 69%, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status ≤ 1 75%, 76% and 79%, and liver‐only metastases 39%, 33% and 40%. Median progression‐free survival was 8.0 months [5.9–9.3] for patients with RASmt/BRAFany, 6.0 months [2.3–7.2] for patients with RASwt/BRAFmt, and 10.4 months [9.5–11.0] for patients with RASwt/BRAFwt. Respectively, median overall survival was 18.4 months [10.9–23.3], 9.7 months [6.9–16.6] and 29.3 months [26.3–36.1]. In multivariate analyses, progression (HR = 2.71 [1.79–4.10]) and death (HR = 2.79 [1.81–4.30]) were more likely for RASwt/BRAFmt vs RASwt/BRAFwt patients.ConclusionsBRAF mutations were associated with markedly poorer outcomes in initially unresectable RASwt mCRC patients treated by cetuximab in first‐line treatment.
‘What a dog will see and kill, a cat will see and ignore it’: An exploration of health‐related help‐seeking among older Ghanaian men residing in Ghana and the United Kingdom

Published: July 2020

BackgroundHealth care utilization rates are lower among men; however, little is known about how men’s health care utilization is affected by migration. The aim of this study was to explore health‐related help‐seeking decisions among older Ghanaian men residing in the United Kingdom and in Ghana.MethodsTwenty‐six men aged 50 years or over were recruited from community locations within two large cities in the UK and Ghana. Face‐to‐face semi‐structured interviews were undertaken to explore the illness and help‐seeking experiences of older men.ResultsHelp‐seeking experiences differed among the Ghanaian men living in the UK and in Ghana. Three themes were identified that impacted on help‐seeking decisions: (1) pluralistic approaches to managing health and illness and (2) perceptions of formal health services in Ghana and UK and (3) financial constraints and masculinity norms as barriers to help‐seeking.ConclusionThis is the first study to look at help‐seeking decisions among older men residing in the UK and Ghana. Findings highlight how older migrant men’s explanatory models of their health encompass enduring faith‐based beliefs around causation of illness and approaches to management, as well as the use of pluralistic approaches to managing health. This study supports the call for culturally sensitive community‐based interventions to increase engagement and facilitate improved health outcomes for migrant populations, particularly older men.

Published: July 2020

AbstractBackgroundHouse dust endotoxin may have beneficial effects on allergic sensitization and asthma in children. Evidence is scarce for adolescents and most studies so far have been cross‐sectional and limited to a single exposure measurement.ObjectiveWe assessed associations of house dust endotoxin with asthma and allergic sensitization from birth to age 17 years longitudinally taking into account exposure early in life and at primary school age.MethodsWe used data of 854 participants of the prospective Dutch PIAMA birth cohort study with house dust endotoxin measurements at 3 months and/or 5‐6 years and data on asthma and/or allergic sensitization from at least one of 11 follow‐ups until age 17. We assessed overall and age‐specific associations of the prevalence of asthma and sensitization with mattress and living room floor dust concentrations (per gram of dust) and loads (per m2 of sampling surface).ResultsHigher living room floor dust endotoxin concentrations at 3 months were associated with lower odds of asthma until age 4 [odds ratio (95% confidence interval) ranging from 0.70 (0.51‐0.97) at age 1 to 0.76 (0.57‐1.00) at age 3 per interquartile range increase], but not thereafter in children of allergic mothers. Higher living room floor dust endotoxin at 5‐6 years was associated with higher odds of sensitization at 8‐16 years [eg odds ratio (95% confidence interval) 1.70 (1.17‐2.47) per interquartile range increase in endotoxin load].Conclusions and clinical relevanceHouse dust endotoxin may have beneficial effects on asthma in preschool children of allergic mothers, which do not persist into adolescence. Beneficial associations with allergic sensitization could not be confirmed.
Expression Packing: As‐Few‐As‐Possible Training Expressions for Blendshape Transfer
Authors: Carrigan E. , Zell E. , Guiard C. , McDonnell R. 
Published: July 2020

AbstractTo simplify and accelerate the creation of blendshape rigs, using a template rig is a common procedure, especially during the creation of digital doubles. Blendshape transfer methods facilitate copy and paste functionality of the blendshapes from the template model to the digital double. However, for adequate personalization, such methods require a set of scanned training expressions of the original actor. So far, the semantics of the facial expressions to scan have been defined manually. In contrast, we formulate the semantics of the facial expressions as an integer optimization of the blendshape weights. By combining different blendshapes of the template model, our method creates facial expressions that serve as semantic references during scanning. Our method guarantees to compute as‐few‐as‐possible training expressions with minimal overlap of activated blendshapes. If the number of training expressions is limited, blendshapes are selected based on their power to personalize the resulting blendshapes compared to generic blendshape transfer methods.
Segment Tracing Using Local Lipschitz Bounds
Authors: Galin Eric , Guérin Eric , Paris Axel , Peytavie Adrien 
Published: July 2020

AbstractWe introduce Segment Tracing, a new algorithm that accelerates the classical Sphere Tracing method for computing the intersection between a ray and an implicit surface. Our approach consists in computing the Lipschitz bound locally over a segment to improve the marching step computation and accelerate the overall process. We describe the computation of the Lipschitz bound for different operators and primitives. We demonstrate that our algorithm significantly reduces the number of field function queries compared to previous methods, without the need for additional accelerating data‐structures. Our method can be applied to a vast variety of implicit models ranging from hierarchical procedural objects built from complex primitives, to simulation‐generated implicit surfaces created from many particles.
