Emotional capability: the missing link between information technology capabilities and innovation performanceCapacidad emocional: el vínculo perdido entre capacidades de tecnologías de la información y desempeño innovadorCapacidade emocional: O elo perdido entre as capacidades das tecnologias da informação e o desempenho inovador
Authors: Arias-Pérez José , Alegre Joaquin , Villar Cristina 
Published: June 2021

Purpose
There has been a great interest in the literature in understanding the incidence of information technology capabilities (ITC) on innovation performance (IP). Recently, it has been proven that this relationship is mediated by organizational factors requiring an additional effort in terms of information processing in a rational and analytical manner, including strategic market orientation and absorptive capacity; however, the role of emotions in this discussion has not been widely addressed. A scenario in which emotions are inhibited, in particular, emotional capability (EC), prevents the activation of other forms of cognition relating to intuition, experience and empathy. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to analyze the mediating effect of EC on the relationship between ITC and IP.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors analyzed the statistical significance of the indirect effects through structural equations.

Findings
The results show the existence of partial mediation of EC. Therefore, it is evidenced that less rational constructs, such as EC, serve as a bridge between ITC and IP, on account of the improvement in information processing, the level of information technology (IT) use and virtual communication.

Originality/value
This finding is quite significant because it forces innovation researchers and practitioners to reconsider the prevailing study perspective that explores only analytical mediators, which implies an additional effort in terms of rational processing of information. All this because there is a risk of accentuating the cognitive overload and increasing the levels of stress that lead employees to stop receiving and using information provided by IT services, which compromises the possibility of obtaining better results in innovation.

Authors: Ors Elif Didem , Goktas Zeynep 
Published: June 2021

PurposeObesity is a chronic disease that is conjoined with increased mortality. Parallel to rising obesity rates, herbal dietary interventions to lose weight are also increasing. The purpose of this study is to assess and evaluate the use of herbal dietary interventions for weight loss among regularly exercising women.Design/methodology/approachA total of 545 regularly exercising women (aged 19–64 years) were recruited from several local sports centers. A questionnaire form to evaluate demographic characteristics, nutritional habits and herbal dietary intervention habits was administered by a trained dietitian. Anthropometric measurements including weight, height, fat mass, total body water and fat free mass were measured using a bioelectrical impedance analysis device.FindingsA total of 244 participants (44.8%) used herbal dietary interventions for weight loss within the last year. The most commonly used herbal dietary interventions were green tea (59.4%), lemon juice (27%), herbal tea mix (20.9%) and cinnamon powder (17.6%), respectively. Of the 244 women who used herbal dietary interventions for weight loss, 42.2% claimed that by using these products they experienced weight loss. Herbal dietary interventions were significantly higher among women with obesity (61.9%) than women with a healthy weight (37.5%). The use of herbal supplements increased among women who consider themselves as being overweight (p< 0.001). Furthermore, herbal dietary interventions decreased with more frequent attempts for a weight-loss diet (p< 0.001).Originality/valueTo the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study represents a first attempt at assessing the use of herbal dietary supplements for weight loss among regularly exercising Turkish women. With the increase of body mass index and body perception being as overweight, herbal dietary interventions were also increased. In particular, women with obesity (61.9%) used more herbal dietary interventions than women with healthy weight (37.5%). Moreover, women with an overweight body perception used more herbal supplements than those who thought they had a healthy body weight.
National memory institutions' social media policies and risk management: a content analysis
Authors: Liew Chern Li 
Published: June 2021

PurposeAmong the current discourses around social media risk management (SMRM) is whether institutions perceive social media (SM) as more of an opportunity to be embraced and regulated, or a risk to be avoided or mitigated, how this is reflected in their policies and how institutional stance reflects their regulation and management of SM use and practices. There is currently no scholarly literature that addresses these for the memory sector where SM use has proliferated. This research aims to address this gap by putting a focus on national memory institutions (MIs), whose strategies and operations are often governed by a public/civic mandate.Design/methodology/approachThis research involves a comprehensive literature review and a content analysis. The review includes studies that have analysed institutional SM policies in other sectors. The review informs our content analysis both in terms of approaches and in terms of identifying areas for comparisons. Following an initial scoping review and a close inspection, a sample of eight policies of national MIs were included in the content analysis.FindingsThe content analysis led to the identification of 8 core themes and 36 sub-themes. The main themes are concerned with account management, audience management, rules for use, protecting institutional interests, legal considerations, the purpose of the policy, nature of postings and referencing information. Also emerged from the findings are a few gaps that we expect will provide a platform for further discourses with regard to the potentially complex role SM policies have in MIs and the broader cultural heritage sector in relation to their public/civic mandates.Originality/valueThis is the first close SM policy analysis for the memory sector focusing on national MIs. This research contributes insights into how national-level MIs tend to frame the opportunities and the risk of SM use, the ways in which they govern SM usage and their different approaches to SMRM. The findings have implications for SM policy development and implementations, and further iterations of SM policies in the memory sector.Peer reviewThe peer review history for this article is available at: https://publons.com/publon/10.1108/OIR-09-2020-0421

Published: June 2021

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to examine how employee competences can be developed through corporate volunteering (CV). Specifically, this study focuses on diversity of volunteering studies categorized according to the type of beneficiaries and intensity of volunteer contact with them. The study examines how the beneficiary-employee relation influences the development of employee competences in CV projects.Design/methodology/approachIn this qualitative empirical study, interview data collected in Poland about the perceived effects of CV projects on employee competences was used.FindingsThe findings suggest that to understand the competences generated in CV, attention needs to be paid to the nature of the volunteering study itself. The study proposes four different logics of competence development in CV, based on the type of the beneficiary and contact with them.Research limitations/implicationsThe study builds on managers’ perceptions of competence development. For a holistic understanding, future research should include employees’ perceptions of the process. Also, more research is needed regarding national and organizational settings as factors in competence development through CV.Practical implicationsThe study suggests how companies could best engage in volunteering programs and improve existing ones to make them more beneficial for all parties involved.Social implicationsThe findings build the better business case for CV and other corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives, i.e. they deliver rationales for business engagement in this regard.Originality/valueThe study contributes to the conceptual understanding of CSR activities by presenting four logics of competence development in CV.

Published: June 2021

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the mechanisms of low alloyed medium-carbon steel (LAMCS) corrosion in 0.5 M H2SO4 inhibited by seeds oils of rubber (SOR), Neem (SON) and Jatropha (SOJ) containing varying degree of free fatty acid (FFA).

Design/methodology/approach
Specific gravity, acid values and FFA compositions of oils were determined. Potentiodynamic polarization (PDP), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) are techniques used to investigate the corrosion inhibition mechanisms with evaluated Gibbs free energy of adsorption.

Findings
Corrosion inhibition efficiencies of oils reached values >99% as obtained from PDP and EIS. Protective oxide layer was formed on LAMCS consequent on containment of carbonyl and hydroxyl groups in the FFA of SOR, SON and SOJ, respectively. The SOR and SOJ are found to be mixed inhibitors, whereas SON behaved as anodic inhibitor. Mechanism of adsorption of SOR was synergistic between physisorption and chemisorption, while SON and SOJ exhibited physisorption. SEM micrographs images showed that uninhibited sample exhibited thicker mass of corrosion products. Formation of protective oxide layer was confirmed by XRD diffractograms.

Practical implications
This study has shown that the need for modification of vegetable seed oils containing FFA is unnecessary as the hydroxyl and carbonyl groups of the FFA contained in the respective oil were found to be the center of adsorption of the oils on the steel surface. Hence, cost and by-products associated with modification of oils used as corrosion inhibitors are eliminated.

Originality/value
SOR, which has the highest percentage FFA, was found to be the most influential on the corrosion inhibition mechanism of LAMCS, specifically within 0.01–0.02 g/mL concentration. FFA contained in the respective seed oil aided formation of protective oxide layer at interface between H2SO4 and LAMCS, relative to amount composed.

Published: June 2021

AbstractTuberculosis (TB) is one of the most common opportunistic infections and a leading cause of death in patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). However, conventional diagnostic tools have several limitations. The aim of this study was to screen key DNA methylated cytosine‐phosphate‐guanine dinucleotide (CpG) islands (CGIs) to identify potential diagnosis biomarkers in HIV mono‐infected patients and HIV/TB co‐infected patients based on a network analysis. The GSE50835 DNA methylation microarray data were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Differentially methylated CpG islands analysis, weighted gene co‐expression network analysis (WGCNA), and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) logistic regression were performed in 19 HIV mono‐infected patients and 20 HIV/TB co‐infected patients. In total, 1950 differentially methylated CpG islands were identified, and weighted co‐methylation network construction and module preservation revealed one network module that can distinguish the HIV/TB co‐infected patients from the HIV mono‐infected patients. Based on the LASSO logistic regression, an eight‐methylated CpG island diagnosis model was established that can accurately distinguish HIV/TB co‐infected patients from HIV mono‐infected patients with a sensitivity of 87.2%, a specificity of 88.7%, and an area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) of 0.948. Alteration in the eight‐DNA methylated CpG sites might be involved in the pathology of an HIV/TB co‐infection and could be used as potential diagnosis biomarkers in HIV/TB co‐infected patients.
Exploring the potential for plant translocations to adapt to a warming world
Authors: Dalrymple Sarah E. , Winder Richard , Campbell Elizabeth M. 
Published: June 2021

Abstract

Anthropogenic climate warming is undisputed and yet, there is much that is unknown regarding biological impacts of changing temperature and precipitation, and the management options presented as solutions to biodiversity losses—such as translocations of plants and seeds—are often controversial.

This Special Focus presents five new studies and two recently published articles in Journal of Ecology and Ecological Solutions and Evidence that analyse the use of existing plant translocations, assess the potential to use translocations to offset past declines and future population losses, and articulate the need to involve a broader range of stakeholders in the use of translocations.

Our recommendations include improving the monitoring of plant translocations; harnessing existing translocations to form a global monitoring array for climate change impacts on biological diversity and strengthening research–practice linkages improving data sharing and broadening the stakeholders involved in translocations.

Synthesis. Further study of translocations and integration of information from translocation projects holds the opportunity to provide a wealth of new knowledge and improved ways to counter climate change impacts on biological diversity and ecosystems.
Nondestructive discrimination of red silk single fibers using total reflection X‐ray fluorescence spectrometry and synchrotron radiation X‐ray fluorescence spectrometry

Published: June 2021

AbstractIn a strangulation case, when a necktie is used as a murder weapon, the dyed silk single fiber becomes an important evidence sample to solve the crime. Dyed silk single fibers contain elements, such as Cr and Co, which are obtained from dyeing using metal mordants. Currently, there are no nondestructive and sufficiently sensitive elementary analytical methods for the forensic analysis of single fibers. Therefore, in this study, eight commercially available red silk samples were collected and used for total reflection X‐ray fluorescence (TXRF) and synchrotron radiation X‐ray fluorescence (SR‐XRF) spectrometry. Benchtop TXRF detected both S in the silk protein and Cl and Ca, which are elements absorbed from the environment by silkworms, but also Cr, which is a dyeing derivative for metal mordants. The presence of Cr and Zn, in addition to the Zn/Cr signal intensity ratios, was reported to be particularly useful identifiers. In SR‐XRF, the presence of Cr, Co, Zn, and Br and the Zn/Cr signal intensity ratios were reported to be useful discriminating indicators. In this study, the nondestructive discrimination capabilities of TXRF and SR‐XRF measurements for the samples were found to be 85.7% and 100%, respectively. Therefore, we propose a combination of TXRF and SR‐XRF as a new nondestructive single fiber identification method for forensic science. Moreover, if partial destruction of a single fiber is allowed, the observation of the cross section and micro‐Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy measurements is useful for identifying red silk fibers.
Unintentional paediatric iron poisoning: A retrospective case series
Authors: Crofton Andrew K , Harris Keith , Wylie Carol , Isoardi Katherine Z 
Published: June 2021

AbstractObjectiveIron poisoning is a historically important cause of paediatric morbidity and mortality. In recent decades, public health measures have considerably reduced paediatric iron exposures. We investigated unintentional paediatric iron poisoning in children with the aim of developing an assessment approach specific for this group.MethodsThis was a retrospective observational study of unintentional iron poisoning in children (<7 years old) referred to either a state‐wide poisons information service or a tertiary clinical toxicology unit from 1 January 2015 to 16 February 2020. Patients were identified from prospective databases maintained by both services, and data were extracted from these in addition to the medical record.ResultsThere were 54 children included in the study (29 [54%] male; median age 2 years (range 8 months to 4 years). The median suspected dose of elemental iron ingested was 72 mg/kg (IQR 41–140 mg/kg). Seventeen (31%) children were symptomatic. There were no cases of severe toxicity. Children symptomatic with gastrointestinal toxicity had a median suspected dose ingested of 60 mg/kg (IQR 38–150 mg/kg) that was similar to asymptomatic children (81 mg/kg [IQR 41–143 mg/kg], P = 0.809). The median peak iron concentration was 49 μmol/L (IQR 13.5–67.5 μmol/L, range 4–75 μmol/L). Symptomatic children had a significantly higher median peak serum iron concentration of 66 μmol/L (IQR 54–68 μmol/L) compared to 12 μmol/L (IQR 9–15 μmol/L) in asymptomatic children (P < 0.001).ConclusionUnintentional paediatric iron poisoning is uncommon and largely benign. Suspected dose ingested is a poor predictor of toxicity. Targeting investigations and interventions to symptomatic children should reduce unnecessary assessment and management while still safely managing the exposure.

Published: June 2021

AbstractPurposeRanibizumab monotherapy showed stronger effects on area of retinal neovascularization (NV) reduction while offering better visual acuity (VA) results than panretinal laser photocoagulation (PRP) monotherapy during the first 12 months of the PRIDE study. The second year of PRIDE was an observational, non‐interventional follow‐up, performed to evaluate long‐term anatomical and functional outcomes in proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) patients under real‐life conditions, prior to the approval of ranibizumab for PDR.MethodsSeventy‐three PDR patients (28 from the ranibizumab group; 20 from the PRP group; 25 from the combination group) were included in the observational follow‐up phase and treated at the investigators discretion. Visual acuity (VA) measurements and retinal imaging were performed at Months 12, 18 and 24.ResultsMean (± SD) NV area in the ranibizumab monotherapy and combination follow‐up groups increased from 3.16 ± 4.30 mm2 and 1.13 ± 2.78 mm2 at Month 12 to 6.09 ± 10.79 mm2 and 2.14 ± 4.41 mm2 at Month 18 and 10.00 ± 17.63 mm2 and 3.26 ± 7.05 mm2 at Month 24, respectively. In the PRP follow‐up group, NV area declined from 5.44 ± 14.55 mm2 at Month 12 to 1.22 ± 1.67 mm2 at Month 18, but increased again to 4.05 ± 11.66 mm2 at Month 24. During the observational phase, only 2 (6;8) patients in the ranibizumab (PRP;combination) follow‐up group were treated with anti‐VEGF medications, while 17 (6;10) patients received PRP laser therapy.ConclusionDiscontinuation of ranibizumab treatment in PDR patients may result in an increase of NV area and VA loss. Tight monitoring of disease activity and continued treatment beyond the first year is needed to maintain disease control.

SummaryIdelalisib (IDL) is an oral first‐in‐class phosphatidylinositol 3‐kinase delta (PI3Kδ) inhibitor approved for chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) alongside rituximab (R) since 2014. However, little data exist on routine practice. The RETRO‐idel was a protocol‐led, retrospective study of 110 patients [n = 27 front‐line (1L)] who received IDL‐R. The primary end‐point was clinical overall response rate (ORR). The median (range) follow‐up of the whole cohort was 30·2 (0·1–51·9) months. The median (range) age was 72 (48–89) years. Tumour protein p53‐disruption was common [100% 1L, 32·5% relapsed/refractory (R/R)]. The best ORR (intention‐to‐treat) was 88·2% (1L 96·3%, R/R 85·5%). Overall, the median event‐free survival (mEFS) was 20·3 months and time‐to‐next treatment was 29·2 months. The mEFS for 1L patients was 18·7 months and R/R patients was 21·7 months. The 3‐year overall survival was 56·1% (95% confidence interval 45·7–65·3). IDL was discontinued in 87·3% (n = 96). More patients discontinued due to adverse events in the front‐line setting (1L 63·0% vs. R/R 44·6%) and due to progressive disease in R/R patients (20·5% vs. 3·7% in 1L). Lower respiratory tract infection/pneumonia were reported in 34·5% (Grade ≥3, 19·1%), diarrhoea in 30·9% (Grade ≥3, 6·4%), and colitis in 9·1% (Grade ≥3, 5·5%). Overall, these data describe clear efficacy for IDL‐R in routine practice. No new safety signals were identified, although careful management of known toxicities is required.

AbstractObjectivesIdiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is marked by the excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix, which participates in a variety of chronic diseases or injuries and seriously threatens human health. Due to the side effects of clinical drugs, there is still a need to develop novel and less toxic drugs to treat pulmonary fibrosis.Materials and MethodsSKLB‐YTH‐60 was developed through computer‐aided drug design, de novo synthesis and high‐throughput screening. We employed the bleomycin (BLM)‐induced lung fibrosis animal models and used TGF‐β1 to induce the epithelial‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) of A549 cells in vitro. Meanwhile, the protein expression of collagen I and the α‐smooth muscle actin (α‐SMA), E‐cadherin, p‐FGFR1, p‐PLCγ, p‐Smad2/3 and p‐Erk1/2 was detected by western blot.ResultsYTH‐60 has obvious anti‐proliferative activity on fibroblasts and A549 cells. Moreover, YTH‐60 could impair the EMT of A549 cells and suppressed fibrosis by inhibiting FGFR and TGF‐β/Smad‐dependent pathways. Intraperitoneal administration of preventive YTH‐60 could significantly reduce the degree of fibrosis in mice and regulate the imbalance of the immune microenvironment. In addition, we observed that therapeutic YTH‐60 treatment attenuated fibrotic changes in mice during the period of fibrosis. Importantly, YTH‐60 has shown an acceptable oral bioavailability (F = 17.86%) and appropriate eliminated half‐life time (T1/2 = 8.03 hours).ConclusionsTaken together, these preclinical evaluations suggested that YTH‐60 could be a promising drug candidate for treating IPF.
