Family firms, banks and firm value: Evidence from Malaysia
Authors: Liew Chee Yoong , Devi S. Susela 
Published: September 2020

PurposeThis paper examines the relationship between the number of domestic banks that the firm engages with and firm value and how this relationship is moderated by ownership concentration at low and very high level on a sample of Malaysian family and non-family firms.Design/methodology/approachFor hypotheses testing, panel data analysis using the fixed effects model (FEM) is used because the FEM can address any endogeneity problems effectively (Chi, 2005). The panel data regression is conducted on both family firms and non-family firms.FindingsWe find that there is a significant negative relationship between the number of domestic banks engaged by family firms, operating in industries where these firms do not have absolute monopoly, and firm value. However, there is no evidence that this significant negative firm value effect is stronger in family firms compared to non-family firms. Furthermore, the significant positive moderating effect of ownership concentration on this relationship within family firms in such industries is evident only at low level of ownership concentration. Interestingly, at very high level of ownership concentration, this significant positive moderating effect becomes negative. There is no evidence that these significant moderating effects are stronger in family firms compared to non-family firms.Research limitations/implicationsThis research has focused only on family and non-family firms.Practical implicationsAn implication of this research is that there is a need for the capital market regulators to introduce appropriate policies to deter family firms from having a close relationship with domestic banks as well as monitor the number of domestic banks engaged by such firms. There may be policy implications for consideration by the Central Bank of Malaysia as well.Originality/valueThis research provides some insights to both academia and industry regarding the consequences of domestic banking relationship and different levels of concentrated ownership in family firms in an emerging market. These insights can help improve the corporate governance as well as ownership structure of Malaysian public-listed family firms which dominate the capital market. Our findings refute the argument by Peng and Jiang (2010) by demonstrating that corporate reputational effects may be a substitute for institutional deficiencies.
The marketing of concerts in London 1672–1749
Authors: Harbor Catherine 
Published: September 2020

Purpose
This paper aims to explore the nature of the marketing of concerts 1672–1749 examining innovations in the promotion and commodification of music, which are witness to the early development of music as a business.

Design/methodology/approach
The study takes as its basis 4,356 advertisements for concerts in newspapers published in London between 1672 and 1749.

Findings
Musicians instigated a range of marketing strategies in an effort to attract a concert audience, which foreground those found in more recent and current arts marketing practice. They promoted regular concerts with a clear sense of programme planning to appeal to their audience, held a variety of different types of concerts and made use of a variety of pricing strategies. Concerts were held at an increasing number and range of venues with complementary ticket-selling locations.

Originality/value
Whilst there is some literature investigating concert-giving in this period from a musicological perspective (James, 1987; Johnstone, 1997; McVeigh, 2001; Weber, 2001; 2004b; 2004c; Wollenberg, 1981–1982; 2001; Wollenberg and McVeigh, 2004), what research there is that uses marketing as a window onto the musical culture of concert-giving in this period lacks detail (McGuinness, 1988; 2004a; 2004b; McGuinness and Diack Johnstone, 1990; Ogden et al., 2011). This paper illustrates how the development of public commercial concerts made of music a commodity offered to and demanded by a new breed of cultural consumers. Music, thus, participated in the commercialisation of leisure in late 17th- and 18th-century England and laid the foundations of its own development as a business.

Published: September 2020

PurposeThis paper is a response to a frequently asked question from prospective industry partners searching for opportunities to collaborate with the Computer Science Department of Swansea University, UK. This paper seeks to provide structured guidance in the form of what is titled the Industry Engagement Ladder.Design/methodology/approachThe Industry Engagement Ladder presents a selection of collaboration opportunities, outlining the possible cooperation mechanisms between an industry partner and the academic institution.FindingsOpportunities are described and ranked according to the amount of investment required by the industrial partner, and therefore risk, from low to high.Originality/valueThis concise paper provides a quick reference for perspective industry academia collaboration opportunities, the risks involved with each, the possible funding available to help foster these partnerships and the benefits to industry. These collaborative activities (and variations thereof) can be incorporated by any university department. The manuscript offers an ideal starting point for industry–university collaboration.
Investigative interviewing skills in policing: examining the transfer of training into workplace practices
Authors: Mount David , Mazerolle Lorraine 
Published: September 2020

PurposePolice invest significant time, energy and resources to equip officers with the skills required to conduct effective investigative interviews. However, transferring those skills acquired or developed in a training environment for application in the police workplace is a journey fraught with impediments and diversions. Invariably, the quality and amount of skills transferred and applied on the job represent a paltry return on resource investment. This research explores the factors that impact the transfer of investigative interviewing skills from the training environment to the police workplace.Design/methodology/approachInterviews with 40 officers, both uniformed and plain-clothes, were conducted to explore the influences on and impediments to effective skill transfer. Data were inductively analysed and thematically pattern-matched with existing research findings in the adult training domain.FindingsResults indicate that trainee motivation, perceptions of training relevance, perceptions of training quality and preparedness to conduct the task as trained directly and indirectly influence the degree to which investigative interviewing skills transfer from the training environment to the police workplace.Originality/valueThis is original research in a domain that has previously received limited academic attention. An awareness of the factors that negatively impact on the transfer of acquired skills and ways to mitigate or ameliorate the detrimental effects are likely to assist police trainers and workplace managers to improve transfer rates and get more outcome value for the money, time and effort invested in training regimes.
Human activity detection using machine learning methods from wearable sensors

Published: September 2020

PurposeThe paper aims to develop a novel method for the classification of different physical activities of a human being, using fabric sensors. This method focuses mainly on classifying the physical activity between normal action and violent attack on a victim and verifies its validity.Design/methodology/approachThe system is realized as a protective jacket that can be worn by the subject. Stretch sensors, pressure sensors and a 9 degree of freedom accelerometer are strategically woven on the jacket. The jacket has an internal bus system made of conductive fabric that connects the sensors to the Flora chip, which acts as the data acquisition unit for the data generated. Different activities such as still, standing up, walking, twist-jump-turn, dancing and violent action are performed. The jacket in this study is worn by a healthy subject. The main phases which describe the activity recognition method undertaken in this study are the placement of sensors, pre-processing of data and deploying machine learning models for classification.FindingsThe effectiveness of the method was validated in a controlled environment. Certain challenges are also faced in building the experimental setup for the collection of data from the hardware. The most tedious challenge is to collect the data without noise and error, created by voltage fluctuations when stretched. The results show that the support vector machine classifier can classify different activities and is able to differentiate normal action and violent attacks with an accuracy of 98.8%, which is superior to other methods and algorithms.Practical implicationsThis study leads to an understanding of human physical movement under violent activity. The results show that data compared with normal physical motion, which includes even a form of dance is quite different from the data collected during violent physical motion. This jacket construction with woven sensors can capture every dimension of the physical motion adding features to the data on which the machine learning model will be built.Originality/valueUnlike other studies, where sensors are placed on isolated parts of the body, in this study, the fabric sensors are woven into the fabric itself to collect the data and to achieve maximum accuracy instead of using isolated wearable sensors. This method, together with a fabric pressure and stretch sensors, can provide key data and accurate feedback information when the victim is being attacked or is in a normal state of action.

Published: September 2020

AbstractObjectivesTo examine changes in carve‐out financial requirements (copayments, coinsurance, use of deductibles, and out‐of‐pocket maxima) following the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA).Data Source/Study SettingSpecialty mental health benefit design information for employer‐sponsored carve‐out plans from a national managed behavioral health organization's claims processing engine (2008‐2013).Study DesignThis pre‐post study reports linear and logistic regression as the main analysis.Data Collection/Extraction MethodsNA.Principal FindingsCopayments for in‐network emergency room (−$44.9, 95% CI: −78.3, −11.5; preparity mean: $56.2), outpatient services (eg, individual psychotherapy: −$7.4, 95% CI: −10.5, −4.2; preparity mean: $17.8), and out‐of‐network coinsurance for emergency room (−11 percentage points, 95% CI: −16.7, −5.4; preparity mean: 38.8 percent) and outpatient (eg, individual psychotherapy: −5.8 percentage points, 95% CI: −10.0, −1.6; preparity mean 41.0 percent) decreased. Probability of family OOP maxima use (29 percentage points, 95% CI: 19.3, 38.6; preparity mean: 36 percent) increased. In‐network outpatient coinsurance increased (eg, individual psychotherapy: 4.5 percentage points, 95% CI: 1.1, 7.9; preparity mean: 2.7 percent), as did probability of use of family deductibles (15 percentage points, 95% CI: 6.1, 23.3; preparity mean: 38 percent).ConclusionsMHPAEA was associated with increased generosity in most financial requirements observed here. However, increased use of deductibles may have reduced generosity for some patients.
Unmet social needs among low‐income adults in the United States: Associations with health care access and quality
Authors: Cole Megan B. , Nguyen Kevin H. 
Published: September 2020

AbstractObjectiveTo describe social needs among low‐income adults and estimate the relationship between level of unmet social needs and key indicators of health care access and quality.Data SourceNational survey data from 12 states from the 2017 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, which added a “Social Determinants of Health” Module in 2017.Study DesignWe examined differences in eight measures of health care access and quality (eg, check‐up in last 12 months, inability to see doctor due to cost, receipt of eye examination for diabetics) for low‐income adults with 0, 1, 2‐3, and 4+ unmet social needs based on 7 social needs measures. We used adjusted logistic regression models to estimate the association between level of unmet need and each outcome.Principal FindingsMost common unmet social needs included not having enough money for balanced meals (33 percent) or food (32 percent). After adjusting for observable characteristics, higher levels of unmet social need were associated with poorer access and quality. Compared to those with no reported unmet needs, having 4+ unmet needs was significantly associated with reduced probability of having a yearly check‐up (65 percent vs 78 percent, adjusted difference = −7.1 percentage points (PP)), receiving a flu vaccine (33 percent vs 42 percent, adjusted difference = −5.4 PP), having a personal doctor (74 percent vs 80 percent, adjusted difference = −3.1 PP), and having a foot (63 percent vs 80 percent, adjusted difference = −12.8 PP) or eye examination (61 percent vs 73 percent, adjusted difference = −12.6 PP) for diabetic patients, and increased probability of being unable to see a doctor due to cost (44 percent vs 9 percent, adjusted difference = 27.9 PP) and having diabetes affect the eyes (22 percent vs 19 percent, adjusted difference = 8.0 PP) at α = 0.05.ConclusionsHigher levels of unmet social needs were associated with poorer access to and quality of care among low‐income adults. Addressing social needs both inside and outside of health care settings may help mitigate these negative effects. Additional research on if and how to effectively do so is critical.

Published: September 2020

AbstractAimTo investigate associations between changes in vegetable and fruit (V&F) intakes and anthropometric indices (weight, BMI, % body fat, waist circumference), including differences by sex, during a dietary weight‐loss intervention.MethodsAdults (18‐45 years) with overweight/obesity (BMI 25‐35 kg/m2) entered a 10‐week pre‐post study, receiving individualised consults with an Accredited Practising Dietitian targeting increased V&F intakes. Dietary intake was assessed using 24‐hour recalls and food frequency questionnaires. Linear mixed models were used to examine how much of the changes in anthropometric indices were explained by changes in V&F intakes. Sex differences were assessed by Wilcoxon rank sum tests.ResultsOf the 43 participants enrolled, 34 completed the study (53% female). Significant differences in energy intake and anthropometric indices were observed between males and females at baseline. After 10 weeks, females significantly reduced their weight (−2.9%, P < .01), BMI (−0.82 kg/m2, P < .01), waist circumference (−1.70 cm, P < .01), energy intake (−824 kJ/day, P = .01) and improved diet quality (−14.0% energy‐dense, nutrient‐poor foods, P < .01). Males significantly reduced weight (−2.5%, P = .04), BMI (−0.76 kg/m2, P = .03), waist circumference (−2.40 cm, P = .02), energy intake (−2875 kJ/day, P < .01), increased fruit intake (+0.89 serves/day, P = .02) and improved diet quality (−6% energy‐dense, nutrient‐poor foods, P < .01). Compared to the other sex, greater reductions were observed in energy intake in males and energy‐dense, nutrient‐poor foods in females. Linear mixed models identified that changes in V&F intakes did not explain the variation in anthropometric measures.ConclusionFuture interventions may benefit from trialling sex tailored messages to enhance effects on anthropometric changes.
Mining for novel antibiotics in the age of antimicrobial resistance
Authors: Udaondo Zulema , Matilla Miguel A. 
Published: September 2020

SummaryThe misuse of antimicrobials is causing an alarming increase in the appearance of antibiotic‐resistant microorganisms. In this context, the identification of novel antibiotics against new targets and with low rates of resistance development is a major global challenge. In this article, we highlight a number of recent articles that exploit a variety of in vitro, in vivo and in silico state‐of‐the‐art approaches to identify and develop new antimicrobials. Rapid progress in this research field will be crucial to combating a global health problem, antimicrobial resistance, that is expected to be the leading cause of death by 2050.

Published: September 2020

AbstractIntroductionThe purpose of this study was to assess patterns of disease progression for patients with metastatic non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) on checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy.MethodsThis single centre, retrospective study included all patients diagnosed with Stage IV NSCLC from 2015 to 2019 who received at least 2 cycles of immunotherapy, with or without concurrent chemotherapy. Immune RECIST criteria were used to assess patterns of disease progression, and progression‐free survival (PFS), excluding irradiated tumours. The chi‐square and log‐rank tests assessed for associations between baseline clinical characteristics and progressive disease in initial sites only (vs. new or combined sites), and PFS, respectively.ResultsAmong 143 eligible patients with a median follow‐up of 11 months, 97 (68%) developed disease progression. Of these, 67 patients (69.1%) progressed only at initial disease site(s), 10 patients (10.3%) progressed only at new disease site(s), and 20 patients (20.6%) progressed in both initial and new sites. Rates of disease progression based on tumour location were higher for liver (64%) and lung metastases (61%) than for other metastatic sites (33–36%) or the primary tumour (24%). Only higher PD‐L1 expression (P = 0.002) and absence of lung metastasis (P = 0.048) at baseline were associated with improved PFS. No baseline characteristics significantly impacted the probability of initial disease site‐only progression, though a trend was observed for untreated primary tumour (72% vs. 56%, P = 0.169).ConclusionsThe dominant pattern of disease progression is in the initial sites of disease alone, suggesting a potential role for local radiation therapy as a complementary treatment modality to immunotherapy.
EEF1A2 and ERN2 could potentially discriminate metastatic status of mediastinal lymph node in lung adenocarcinomas harboring EGFR 19Del/L858R mutations

Published: September 2020

AbstractBackgroundEarly data has indicated that EGFR 19Del mutation and EGFR L585R mutation are two different types of non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, how the different molecular mechanisms participate in the process of mediastinal lymph node metastasis (MLNM) in lung adenocarcinoma (LA) harboring EGFR 19Del and EGFR L858R mutation remains unknown. We thus explored the genes responsible for MLNM in LA with EGFR 19Del or L858R mutation.MethodsWe performed transcriptome sequencing and bioinformatics analysis from 10 patients with LA resection specimens of primary tumors. Quantitative reverse transcription‐polymerase chain reaction was used to validate gene expressions.ResultsThere were 69 mRNAs upregulated and 100 mRNAs downregulated in five samples with MLNM compared with samples without MLN metastasis. EEF1A2 and ERN2 were observed exhibiting different expression patterns in EGFR 19Del and EGFR L858R samples with MLNM. In samples harboring EGFR 19Del mutation, the expression of EEF1A2 gene in samples with MLNM was significantly lower compared with samples without MLN metastasis, and in samples with EGFR L858R, it was significantly higher in samples with MLNM. The expression pattern of ERN2 was opposite to EEF1A2. In addition, several other genes including SLC6A11, IGHV3‐48, IGHV3‐43, DUSP9, and HOXA9 were also shown to be associated with invasion and metastasis and exhibited an expression pattern similar to EEF1A2 and ERN2 in EGRF 19Del and L858R mutation tumors.ConclusionsEEF1A2 and ERN2 were for the first time observed exhibiting distinct expression patterns in MLNM in lung adenocarcinomas harboring EGFR 19Del and EGFR L858R mutation by interindividual DEGs analysis.Key pointsSignificant findings of the studyIn our study, we focused on the mechanisms of metastasis and invasion that different EGFR mutations conferred and identified two critical genes separately involved in this process in EGFR 19Del and L858R mutation tumors.What this study addsOur findings not only reinforced theoretical foundations that the EGFR 19Del and L858R mutation tumors should be considered as two kinds of diseases, but also laid the fundamentals for precise determination of the mediastinal lymph node radiation field and improvement of clinical outcome.

Published: September 2020

AbstractThe aim of the study was to examine the effect of operator experience on the quality of instrumentation of molar canals using the TF Adaptive file system (SybronEndo, Orange, CA) on a 3D‐printed molar replica model. Three novice and two expert operators instrumented the root canals of three replicas each and resulting pre‐ and postinstrumentation 12 micron voxel size‐microCT volumes of each replica were digitally registered. Relative modified canal wall surface fraction and canal transportation (1–9 mm from the apex) were calculated and analysed by anova. Instrumentation by expert operators resulted in overall higher (P = 0.002) modified wall surface fraction in the distal but not the mesial and higher (P = 0.002) combined from all canal level transportation in the mesiobuccal canals but not the mesiolingual and distal canals. Instrumentation efficiency but also transportation using the TF Adaptive file system can be higher among expert, compared to novice, operators, depending on the canal type.
Zealastoa Quicke & Ward, gen. nov., a new basal cyclostome braconid wasp (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) from New Zealand
Authors: Quicke Donald L J , Ward Darren F , Belokobylskij Sergey A , Butcher Buntika A 
Published: September 2020

AbstractThe Mesostoinae are an almost entirely Gondwanan subfamily of Braconidae, known from Australia, New Zealand and South America (extending into MesoAmerica). They are morphologically and biologically diverse and, together with Aphidiinae and Maxfischeriinae, are the sister group to all other extant cyclostome braconids. Here we describe and illustrate a new genus, Zealastoa Quicke & Ward, gen. nov., and three new species: Z. waitakerensis Quicke & Ward, sp. nov., Z. hirta Belokobylskij, Quicke & Ward, sp. nov., and Z. multiarticulata Belokobylskij, Quicke & Ward, sp. nov., all from New Zealand. Molecular phylogenetic analysis based on combined nuclear 28S rDNA D2‐D3 expansion region and the barcoding region of mitochondrial COI strongly support a monophyletic clade comprising the endemic New Zealand genera (Doryctomorpha Ashmead, Metaspathius Brues, Rhyssaloides and Zealastoa gen. nov.) as being the sister group to all other members of the subfamily.
