Published: October 2019

AbstractFood mislabelling is a growing world-wide problem that is increasingly addressed through the authentication of ingredients via techniques like mass spectrometry or DNA-sequencing. However, traditional DNA sequencing methods are slow, expensive, and require well-equipped laboratories. We here test whether these problems can be overcome through the use of Nanopore sequencing. We sequenced 92 single and 13 mixed-species samples bought in supermarkets and restaurants in Singapore which has a large and diverse seafood trade. We successfully obtained DNA barcodes for 94% and 100% of the single- and mixed-species products after correcting the numerous sequencing errors of MinION reads with a correction pipeline optimized for DNA barcodes. We find comparatively low levels of clear-cut mislabelling for single-species samples (7.6 %) while the rates are higher for mixed-species samples (38.5 %). These low rates are somewhat deceptive, however, because of the widespread use of vague common species names that do not allow for a precise assessment of the expected ingredients. With regard to the clearly mislabelled single-species products, higher-value products (e.g., prawn roe, wild-caught Atlantic salmon, halibut) are replaced with lower-value ingredients (e.g., fish roe, Pacific salmon, arrowtooth flounder) while more serious problems are observed for mixed-species samples. Cuttlefish and prawn balls repeatedly contained pig DNA and 100% of all mixed samples labelled as containing crustaceans (‘crab’, ‘prawn’, ‘lobster’) only yielded fish barcodes. We conclude that there is a need for more regular testing of seafood samples and suggest that due to speed and low-cost, MinION would be a good instrument for this purpose. We also emphasize the need for developing clearer labelling guidelines.
Tuning movement for sensing in an uncertain world
Authors: Chen Chen , Murphey Todd D. , MacIver Malcolm A. 
Published: October 2019

AbstractWhile animals track or search for targets, sensory organs make small unexplained movements on top of the primary task-related motions. While multiple theories for these movements exist—in that they support infotaxis, gain adaptation, spectral whitening, and high-pass filtering—predicted trajectories show poor fit to measured trajectories. We propose a new theory for these movements called energy-constrained proportional betting, where the probability of moving to a location is proportional to an expectation of how informative it will be balanced against the movement’s predicted energetic cost. Trajectories generated in this way show good agreement with measured target tracking trajectories of electric fish. Similarly good agreement was found across three published datasets on visual and olfactory tracking tasks in insects and mammals. Our theory unifies the metabolic cost of motion with information theory. It predicts sense organ movements in animals and can prescribe sensor motion for robots to enhance performance.
The effects of technology acceptance and use behaviour on women’s entrepreneurship motivation factors
Authors: Özsungur Fahri 
Published: October 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to determine the effects of factors affecting the acceptance and use of technology on the factors affecting women’s entrepreneurship motivation.

Design/methodology/approach
This study was conducted with 156 women entrepreneurs in Turkey in February 2019. A mixed method evaluation design has been adopted in the study.

Findings
The findings revealed that effort expectancy was negatively associated with behaviour intention and push factor and positively associated with pull factor. Performance expectancy was positively associated with balance factor, push factor and behaviour intention. Hedonic motivation was positively associated with behaviour intention and emotional factor. Behaviour intention was negatively associated with use behaviour. Facilitating conditions was positively associated with push factor. Habit was positively associated with behaviour intention and negatively associated with pull, push, balance and emotional factors. Necessities and habit were not motivation factors for women entrepreneurs.

Research limitations/implications
The sample was restricted to women entrepreneurs, limiting the generalizability of the findings.

Practical implications
The practical implications of the study show that effort expectancy, performance expectancy, hedonic motivation, facilitating conditions and habit are the key factors for the women’s entrepreneurship motivation. Women’s entrepreneurship commissions to be established in chambers of commerce and industry can improve entrepreneurial motivation.

Originality/value
This is the first study that reveals the effects of technology acceptance and use behaviours on women’s entrepreneurship motivation. Theoretical background, discussion, managerial implications, limitations and recommendations for future studies are discussed.
China, India and the contest for the Indo-Pacific
Authors: Robertson Peter , Yuan Jingdong , Mudiyanselage Harsha Konara 
Published: October 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to describe how China’s rapid growth and increasing resource dependence have changed its relationship with India and their respective defense strategies. In particular, we consider China's Belt and Road Initiative, India's “Act East” policy and the strategic and economic value of the Indian Ocean and South China Sea regions.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors find no econometric evidence of interactions between China and India’s military spending using a Richardson-Baumol arms race model. Likewise, in a cross-county panel data study of military spending, they find that China’s military spending has no independent effect on military spending in other countries. The authors also show that once wage costs and other sources of military inflation are accounted for, the pattern of real defense spending growth is much less intense than is suggested by nominal data. Nevertheless, they show that China has been undertaking intense military modernization with rapidly rising capital-labor ratios in its defense spending.

Findings
The authors find little evidence of a traditional arms race, but also show that China, and to a lesser extent India, have been realigning their military capabilities to these new security risks while maintaining overall military burden on the economy.

Research limitations/implications
Econometric analysis is limited by data availability and is necessarily historical, whereas the security situation is very fluid and may change in the short term.

Practical implications
The paper identifies factors that are likely to influence China and India's attitudes to defense spending in the coming years.

Social implications
The paper finds that there is not an arms race in the traditional sense but may be an arms race in terms of new technologies and military modernization.

Originality/value
This is a very much underexplored topic in economics. The authors take an interdisciplinary approach showing how economics tools can be used to help understand this important issue in international relations.
Using narrative distance to invite transformative learning experiences
Authors: Taeger Stephan 
Published: October 2019

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to introduce narrative distance as a phenomenon that can help create transformative learning experiences (TLEs). Narrative distance is defined as the cognitive or emotional space afforded by indirect communication that invites listeners to make sense of content. In ways similar to a book, movie or play, narrative distance invites participants to draw conclusions for themselves (Craddock, 2002).Design/methodology/approachAfter examining how other fields have discussed concepts related to narrative distance and its affordances, this paper illustrates how this phenomenon can satisfy many of Wilson and Parrish’s (2011) key indicators for TLEs.FindingsSix principles are offered for incorporating narrative distance into instructional design.Originality/valueInstructional design has not explored indirect communication that is similar to narrative in any significant way.
Women in the Egyptian parliament: a different agenda?
Authors: Abdelgawad Hala , Hassan Mazen 
Published: October 2019

Purpose
Theoretically, the quality of representation is likely to be enhanced when more societal segments are included in formal political structures. An interesting question, however, is whether a similar correlation holds empirically outside established Western democracies. In the 2015 Egyptian parliament, women representation achieved an all-time high of 14.9% of total seats – nearly four times the historical Egyptian average. It is asked whether female legislators riding this unprecedent tide were different from their male colleagues in terms of their socio-economic backgrounds. But more importantly, the authors examine whether this increased representation led to any change in inclusion of more women’s issues in the legislative agenda, and how traditional topics are debated.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors conducted a content analysis of selected parliamentary scripts – generating on an original data set – to trace the topics and interventions raised by female MPs. The authors draw on the extensive literature on women’s representation, giving special attention to the structure versus agency dichotomy in this quest.

Findings
The authors conclude that female MPs were as active in parliamentary debates as to their male colleagues. Moreover, women did stress women issues more than men. The results indicate that the inclusion of traditionally under-represented groups does affect parliamentary agendas.

Originality/value
The authors conducted a content analysis of selected parliamentary scripts – generating on an original data set – to trace the topics and interventions raised by female MPs based on a case study of the 2015 Egyptian parliament.
Electronic intravenous N‐acetyl cysteine ordering tool: A retrospective review
Authors: Jackson Angela , Little Mark 
Published: October 2019

AbstractObjectivesTo examine if the electronic N‐acetyl cysteine (NAC) order reduced prescribing errors.MethodsThis was a retrospective chart review of all patients presenting over 2 years to Cairns Hospital ED with a discharge diagnosis of ‘paracetamol overdose’. Data were collected for any patient who received i.v. NAC. Any error, and a description of the error such as dose, volume of fluid, time of infusion and incorrect patient weight was recorded.ResultsThere were 172 presentations with paracetamol poisoning with 86 receiving i.v. NAC. In the 75 (87%) where the electronic NAC order was used, there were no errors in dose of NAC, volume of i.v. fluid and length of time of infusion. In the 11 presentations where the manual NAC order was used, there were multiple errors identified.ConclusionThe use of this electronic NAC order removed errors in NAC prescription and should be considered for prescribing and administering i.v. NAC.

AbstractBackgroundBoth hypoxia and oncogenic mutations rewire tumor metabolism. In this study, glucose and glutamine metabolism‐related markers were examined in stage I ‐ resectable stage IIIA non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Furthermore, expression of metabolism‐related markers was correlated with mutational status to examine mutations associated with rewired tumor metabolism.MethodsMutation analysis was performed for 97 tumors. Glucose and glutamine metabolism‐related marker expression was measured by immunofluorescent staining (protein) and qPCR (mRNA) (n = 81).ResultsGlutamine metabolism‐related markers were significantly higher in adeno‐ than squamous cell NSCLCs. Glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) protein expression was higher in solid compared to lepidic adenocarcinomas (P < 0.01). In adenocarcinomas, mRNA expression of glutamine transporter SLC1A5 correlated with tumor size (r(p) = 0.41, P = 0.005). Furthermore, SLC1A5 protein expression was significantly higher in adenocarcinomas with worse pTNM stage (r(s) = 0.39, P = 0.009). EGFR‐mutated tumors showed lower GLUT1 protein (P = 0.017), higher glutaminase 2 (GLS2) protein (P = 0.025) and higher GLS2 mRNA expression (P = 0.004), compared to EGFR wild‐type tumors. GLS mRNA expression was higher in KRAS‐mutated tumors (P = 0.019). TP53‐mutated tumors showed higher GLUT1 expression (P = 0.009).ConclusionsNSCLC is a heterogeneous disease, with differences in mutational status and metabolism‐related marker expression between adeno‐ and squamous cell NSCLCs, and also within adenocarcinoma subtypes. GLUT1 and SLC1A5 expression correlate with aggressive tumor behavior in adenocarcinomas but not in squamous cell NSCLCs. Therefore, these markers could steer treatment modification for subgroups of adenocarcinoma patients. TP53, EGFR and KRAS mutations are associated with expression of glucose and glutamine metabolism‐related markers in NSCLC.
Novel systemic inflammation response index to predict prognosis after thoracoscopic lung cancer surgery: a propensity score‐matching study
Authors: Li Shuangjiang , Yang Zhang , Du Heng , Zhang Wenbiao , Che Guowei , Liu Lunxu 
Published: October 2019

AbstractBackgroundOur propensity score‐matching (PSM) study evaluated the prognostic significance of systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) for patients undergoing video‐assisted thoracoscopic surgery lobectomy for non‐small‐cell lung cancer (NSCLC).MethodsThis study was conducted on prospectively maintained database in our institution between December 2013 and March 2015. Pre‐operative SIRI was calculated by peripheral monocyte × neutrophil/lymphocyte counts. Survival analysis was performed to distinguish differences in post‐operative survival between patients stratified by an optimum cut‐off of SIRI. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression models were established to determine independent prognostic factors.ResultsThere were 390 patients with resected NSCLC included. A SIRI of 0.99 was identified as the optimum cut‐off regarding to post‐operative survival. Both overall survival (OS) and disease‐free survival (DFS) in patients with SIRI >0.99 were significantly shortened than those in patient with SIRI ≤0.99. Patients with SIRI >0.99 had significantly lower rates of OS and DFS compared to those patients with SIRI ≤0.99. These differences still remained significant after subgroup analyses and PSM analyses. Multivariable analyses on the entire cohort and the PSM cohort commonly demonstrated that high pre‐operative SIRI could be an independent prognostic factor for unfavourable OS and DFS of NSCLC.ConclusionsSIRI serves as a novel risk stratification tool to refine prognostic prediction for surgically resected NSCLC. SIRI may help surgeons to screen high‐surgical‐risk patients and formulate individualized treatment schemes.
An Investigation of the Three‐Way Joint Coaching Alliance: A Social Identity Theory Perspective
Authors: Lai Yi‐Ling , Smith Helen 
Published: October 2019

This study builds upon the previous research that recognised coaching as a triangular political space generating power relationships. We integrate social identity theory into this power negotiation process and consider that the ultimate purpose of coaching is to facilitate a shared coaching identity among all related collaborators. To gain in‐depth understanding of factors that promote a three‐way joint coaching identity, we conducted 25 critical incident interviews and two levels of Q‐sorting (n = 10) with coaches, coachees, and organisational stakeholders. The research results indicated that a workplace coaching identity is a flexible space underpinned by coaches’ attitude, all collaborators’ positions, and the contracting process. Coaches’ accommodated communication techniques determine the relationship climate (instrumental or influential). Coaches’ position in the coaching space regulates their self‐interests and motivation to change. Moreover, a transparent contracting process encourages communication flows and psychological exchanges among all collaborators that may gain more support from stakeholders.
Identification of cancerous gene groups from microarray data by employing adaptive genetic and support vector machine technique
Authors: Shukla Alok Kumar 
Published: October 2019

AbstractNowadays, microarray gene expression data plays a vital role in tumor classification. However, due to the accessibility of a limited number of tissues compared to large number of genes in genomic data, various existing methods have failed to identify a small subset of discriminative genes. To overcome this limitation, in this paper, we developed a new hybrid technique for gene selection, called ensemble multipopulation adaptive genetic algorithm (EMPAGA) that can overlook the irrelevant genes and classify cancer accurately. The proposed hybrid gene selection algorithm comprises of two phase. In the first phase, an ensemble gene selection (EGS) method used to filter the noisy and redundant genes in high‐dimensional datasets by combining multilayer and F‐score approaches. Then, an adaptive genetic algorithm based on multipopulation strategy with support vector machine and naïve Bayes (NB) classifiers as a fitness function is applied for gene selection to select the extremely sensible genes from the reduced datasets. The performance of the proposed method is estimated on 10 microarray datasets of numerous tumor. The comprehensive results and various comparisons disclose that EGS has a remarkable impact on the efficacy of the adaptive genetic algorithm with multipopulation strategy and enhance the capability of the proposed approach in terms of convergence rate and solution quality. The experiments results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method when compared to other standard wrappers regarding classification accuracy and optimal number of genes.
Afforestation driving long‐term surface water browning
Authors: Škerlep Martin , Steiner Eva , Axelsson Anna‐Lena , Kritzberg Emma S. 
Published: October 2019

AbstractIncrease in surface water color (browning), caused by rising dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and iron concentrations, has been widely reported and studied in the last couple of decades. This phenomenon has implications to aquatic ecosystem function and biogeochemical carbon cycling. While recovery from acidification and changes in climate‐related variables, such as precipitation and length of growing season, are recognized as drivers behind browning, land‐use change has received less attention. In this study, we include all of the above factors and aim to discern their individual and combined contribution to water color variation in an unprecedentedly long (1940–2016) and highly resolved dataset (~20 times per month), from a river in southern Sweden. Water color showed high seasonal variability and a marked long‐term increase, particularly in the latter half of the dataset (~1980). Short‐term and seasonal variations were best explained by precipitation, with temperature playing a secondary role. All explanatory variables (precipitation, temperature, S deposition, and land‐use change) contributed significantly and together predicted 75% of the long‐term variation in water color. Long‐term change was best explained by a pronounced increase in Norway spruce (Picea abies Karst) volume—a measure of land‐use change and a proxy for buildup of organic soil layers—and by change in atmospheric S deposition. When modeling water color with a combination of explanatory variables, Norway spruce showed the highest contribution to explaining long‐term variability. This study highlights the importance of considering land‐use change as a factor behind browning and combining multiple factors when making predictions in water color and DOC.
Cities of care: A platform for urban geographical care research
Authors: Power Emma R. , Williams Miriam J. 
Published: October 2019

AbstractThis paper develops an agenda for a broadened conceptualisation of urban caring within geographical research. We open by identifying three existing domains of urban care research: examining spaces of care, materialities of care, and asking who are the subjects of care? We then synthesise three platforms that can be the foundation of a geographical theory and approach to urban care. Drawing from feminist care research and recent keystone pieces on urban caring, we argue, first, that there is a need for a broadened conceptualisation of urban care that emphasises the universal need for care and care that supports human and non‐human flourishing. Second, we propose an expanded scale of urban care analysis that attends to the ways that lives are lived within and through the city. Third, we open up an analysis of where care is located in cities, arguing for the value of locating urban care beyond interpersonal care and care through welfare, to urban governance and planning, markets, and more‐than‐human materialities. We conclude by conceptualising how care might inform utopian dreamings for the just and caring city. We challenge urban geographers to think through the possibilities of care to transform cities.
Incorporation of yellow onion peel extract into the funoran‐based biodegradable films as an antioxidant packaging material
Authors: Ju Ahreum , Song Kyung Bin 
Published: October 2019

SummaryThis study was conducted to develop a biodegradable antioxidant film using yellow onion peel extract (YOPE) and funoran extracted from Gloiopeltis furcata. The mechanical, optical and antioxidant properties of the funoran films containing various amounts of YOPE (0.3%, 0.5% and 1.0%) were examined. YOPE dose‐dependently increased the flexibility as well as the DPPH and ABTS free radical scavenging activities of the funoran films. Additionally, the total phenolic and total flavonoid contents of the funoran films increased from 31.92 to 61.31 mg gallic acid equivalent g−1 film and from 21.80 to 79.22 mg quercetin equivalent g−1 film after the incorporation of YOPE, respectively. These results suggest that the funoran‐based film incorporated with YOPE, which was prepared from underutilised red alga and discarded onion peel, can be used as an antioxidant biodegradable packaging material.
Aging effect in Er3+‐doped 0.5Ba(Zr0.2Ti0.8)O3–0.5(Ba0.7Ca0.3)TiO3 ceramics

Published: October 2019

AbstractUsually, aging in poled ferroelectrics leads to degradation of certain physical properties. In this study, we found a remarkable aging effect in tetragonal Er3+‐doped 0.5Ba(Zr0.2Ti0.8)O3–0.5(Ba0.7Ca0.3)TiO3 (BZT‐BCT) ceramics after poling. It is observed that the domains can spontaneously rotate to keep their spontaneous polarization direction similar to that of the poling electric field during aging for the poled ceramics. Furthermore, compared with freshly poled ceramics, the thermally stimulated current (TSC) peak of the aged ones shifts toward a higher temperature (10°C). And the temperature of the TSC peak in the aged ceramics is exactly equal to their Curie temperature. Such features indicate that aging for the poled ceramics could stabilize the alignment of ordered ferroelectric domains. Additionally, a downward TSC peak above Curie temperature is obtained in both poled and aged ceramics, demonstrating that poling and aging can lead to ordered alignment of defect dipoles. The aging mechanism of poled Er3+‐doped BZT‐BCT ceramics has proposed and discussed in this article.
