Stakeholder relationship capability and investment efficiency: a mosaic theory test
Authors: Valiyan Hasan , Abdoli Mohammadreza , Saghari Mohammad Amin 
Published: June 2021

Purpose
Considering the constraints on resources and the need for firms’ planning to avoid recession and underdevelopment, enhanced investment efficiency would promote the capital market attractiveness and increase the performance of capital market investment. Empowering these markets through investment efficiency requires to promote the flow of information disclosure to stakeholders to provide the greater coherence and integration of information, enhance equal decision-making capabilities and promote trust and confidence in the company. The present study aims to examine the impact of stakeholder relationship capability on investment efficiency through testing the mosaic theory.

Design/methodology/approach
In this study, two criteria (namely, the ratio of net fixed assets to total assets and investment level) were used to measure investment efficiency. Furthermore, meta-synthesis and Delphi analyses were adopted based on a five-point Likert scale to measure the development of stakeholder relationship capability. To collect the research data, the questionnaires were sent to 142 companies in 2019, of which 112 questionnaires were returned by the managers of the firms listed in Tehran Stock Exchange. To fit and test the research hypothesis, partial least squares analysis was used.

Findings
After confirming the fit of the model, the results revealed that the stakeholder relationship capability had a positive and significant effect on investment efficiency.

Originality/value
With regard to the mosaic theory, this finding confirms that the equity of information in reflecting news and knowledge among stakeholders can promote the role of the firm’s stakeholder relationship capability, thus enhancing the investment efficiency.
Engagement in a social media: an analysis in higher education institutions
Authors: Soares João Coelho , Limongi Ricardo , Cohen Eric David 
Published: June 2021

PurposeSocial media are channels of communication and relationship between consumers and brands. In this paper, the determinants of consumer engagement in firm-generated content on Facebook are examined in a higher education institutions (HEIs) context.Design/methodology/approachData was collected from 1,981 Facebook brand posts of 16 Brazilian HEIs and thoroughly analyzed with seemingly unrelated regression (SUR).FindingsThe results indicated that the type of media does not increase the user's engagement. The emotional content, on the other hand, increases the number of likes and shares and not comments. An interaction between dimensions, type of media and content is relevant disclosed to increase engagement metrics, while characteristics related to the day and time of posting are not relevant.Research limitations/implicationsThis study analyzes the factors that influence consumer engagement in brand messages published on Facebook, in the context of higher education institutions. Specifically, the authors seek to examine the influence that emanates from the likes, comments and shares: (1) factors related to the type of media (interactivity and liveliness); (2) content-related factors (remuneration, emotional, entertainment and informational); and (3) factors related to posting (day of the week and time of day).Practical implicationsIn the context of educational services, social media is increasingly present, remarkably in HEI marketing practices. Previous studies have shown that universities use social media (mainly Facebook) to promote interactivity with students. The study presents the key characteristics of the postings by the HEIs, with an emphasis on the liveliness, the interactivity of the media, and the information content of the posts. It stands out by the examination of the most relevant factors that influence Facebook engagement, and by providing evidence on the strength of the factors related to post features that influence user engagement.Originality/valueThe research contributes to the proposition and empirical test of a predictive model of consumer engagement on Facebook, which can predict engagement in an HEI context.Peer reviewThe peer review history for this article is available at: https://publons.com/publon/10.1108/OIR-06-2020-0242
Effectiveness of the use of threats in communication with children (aged from 8 to 12)
Authors: Methlouthi Kawther , Nefzi Ayoub 
Published: June 2021

Purpose
This paper aims to investigate the ability of threatening communication to favorably modify children’s preventive behavior (8–12 years old) in the context of dental hygiene. It also seeks to identify the type of threat that promotes the most children's persuasion (physical/social threat). Multi-method qualitative study was conducted followed by an experimental study to test the influence of threatening communication (social or physical) on children's emotional, cognitive and behavioral responses.

Design/methodology/approach
This study applies a combination of qualitative and quantitative approaches. First, multi-method qualitative study was used to explore the experience of children's exposure to threatening dental hygiene communications (focus groups, projective technique, individual interviews with dentists, etc.). Then, an experimental study based on a survey data collection to 1496 schoolchildren was conducted to test the influence of threatening communications (social or physical) on children's emotional, cognitive and behavioral responses. Indeed, different experimental situations were created by varying at each time the type of ads to which children were exposed.

Findings
Results indicate that using threat communications can be a powerful way to convince children to adopt healthy dental hygiene behaviour, and that physical threats are more effective than social threats.

Originality/value
The originality of this study is to focus on children’s’ affective and cognitive reactions to threatening dental health communication. This by emphasizing the nature of the threat used in communication (physical or social threat).

ObjectiveIn this study we aimed to compare patient outcomes between the use of transarterial radioembolization (TARE) and sorafenib in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and intrahepatic portal vein tumor thrombosis (PVTT).MethodsA total of 65 patients with HCC and intrahepatic PVTT treated in five Italian hospitals between 2012 and 2018 were included in the analysis. Those with any previous treatment, extension of PVTT to the main portal tract and extrahepatic involvement were excluded. Propensity score matching analysis and Bayesian model averaging analysis were performed.ResultsOf the 41 patients treated with TARE and 24 with sorafenib, 11 patients were downstaged to curative‐intent surgery (liver transplant in three and hepatectomy in eight), including 10 treated with TARE and one with sorafenib. TARE was more effective than sorafenib in downstaging patients to surgery, achieving a mean survival of 54 months. In the 54 patients without downstaging after treatment, of whom 31 were treated with TARE and 23 with sorafenib, median survival was 20.3 and 9.1 months, respectively (P = 0.001), with different 1‐, 2‐ and 3‐year OS rates (64.5%, 42.6% and 37.3% vs 39.1%, 13.0% and 0%). Both propensity score and Bayesian model averaging confirmed an improvement in overall survival in the TARE group compared with sorafenib treatment.ConclusionsTARE was more effective than sorafenib in downstaging patients with HCC to surgery, providing a significant improvement in survival. Even in patients who were not downstaged to surgery, survival appeared to be superior with TARE over sorafenib.
The presence of non‐hepatic malignancy and its implication in pursuing liver transplantation
Authors: Chayanupatkul Maneerat , Gambarin‐Gelwan Maya , Schiano Thomas D. 
Published: June 2021

AbstractBackgroundPrimary extrahepatic malignancy and chronic liver disease co‐exist in a considerable number of patients, creating a dilemma both in the aspects of liver transplant candidacy and cancer therapy. In this review, we will explore several aspects and controversies of liver transplantation in patients with non‐hepatocellular carcinoma malignancy including risks of cancer recurrence after liver transplantation and the ethical dilemma of the selection of liver transplantation candidates with non‐hepatic malignancy.
MethodsWe performed a search in several online databases and reviewed published articles and ongoing clinical trials in the topics of transplantation and pre‐existing malignancies.Results and DiscussionLiver transplantation can be safely performed in selected patients with pre‐existing extrahepatic malignancies with low recurrence rate if they have an expected 5‐year survival rate of at least 50%. The cancer‐free period before transplantation depends on the type, stage, and location of cancer. A shorter or no wait‐time may be considered in an early stage cancer or carcinoma in situ. The urgency and benefits of liver transplantation should also be taken into consideration when determining a reasonable wait‐time. This is particularly important in patients with decompensated cirrhosis who cannot afford to wait a few years before they can undergo liver transplantation.
Mapping depth to Pleistocene sand with Bayesian generalized linear geostatistical models
Authors: Steinbuch Luc , Brus Dick J. , Heuvelink Gerard B. M. 
Published: June 2021

AbstractSpatial soil applications frequently involve binomial variables. If relevant environmental covariates are available, using a Bayesian generalized linear model (BGLM) might be a solution for mapping such discrete soil properties. The geostatistical extension, a Bayesian generalized linear geostatistical model (BGLGM), adds spatial dependence and is thus potentially better equipped. The objective of this work was to evaluate whether it pays off to extend from a BGLM to a BGLGM for mapping binary soil properties, evaluated in terms of prediction accuracy and modelling complexity. As motivating example, we mapped the presence/absence of the Pleistocene sand layer within 120 cm from the land surface in the Dutch province of Flevoland, using the BGLGM implementation in the R‐package geoRglm. We found that BGLGM yields considerably better statistical validation metrics compared to a BGLM, especially with – as in our case – a large (n = 1,000) observation sample and few relevant covariates available. Also, the inferred posterior BGLGM parameters enable the quantification of spatial relationships. However, calibrating and applying a BGLGM is quite demanding with respect to the minimal required sample size, tuning the algorithm, and computational costs. We replaced manual tuning by an automated tuning algorithm (which eases implementing applications) and found a sample composition that delivers meaningful results within 50 h calculation time. With the gained insights and shared scripts spatial soil practitioners and researchers can – for their specific cases – evaluate if using BGLGM is feasible and if the extra gain is worth the extra effort.Highlights
Does adding spatial correlation to a Bayesian GLM for mapping a binary soil variable pay off?
We aim to make spatial Bayesian hierarchical modelling accessible for pedometricians.
Most hierarchical models work well when enough observations are provided, even without covariates.
Including spatial correlation might sometimes be worth the extra effort and computational costs.
Population genetic structure of Raffaelea quercus‐mongolicae indicates a recent fungal introduction event to Jeju Island from inland areas of South Korea
Authors: Lee Dong‐Hyeon , Jung Jae‐Min , Seo Sang‐Tae 
Published: June 2021

AbstractRaffaelea quercus‐mongolicae, a mycangial symbiont of a wood‐boring ambrosia beetle, Platypus koryoensis (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Platypodidae), has been associated with the mass mortality of Korean oak trees in South Korea. Systemic wilt from the inoculation of oak trees with R. quercus‐mongolicae has caused significant damage to forest ecosystems in the country. Despite the continued spread of this fungus across the country since the first discovery of the disease, little is known regarding its biology. During a recent survey carried out to investigate the status of oak wilt diseases on Jeju Island, South Korea, visible signs of bark beetle attack, including bark beetle frass and galleries, were consistently observed in Quercus serrata, and R. quercus‐mongolicae was successfully recovered from the trees. To determine whether the pathogen was introduced from inland areas of the country to Jeju Island, the genetic diversity and population structure of R. quercus‐mongolicae isolates collected from various geographical regions and hosts in the country were investigated using a combination of eight microsatellite markers designed from the genome of the fungus in this study. The results showed lower levels of genetic diversity for the population from Jeju Island compared to those from inland areas of the country. This suggests that a limited number of individuals were recently introduced to Jeju Island, resulting in a new disease problem in the area.
Exploring the utility of movement parameters to make inferences about dynamic interactions in moving objects
Authors: Miller Jennifer A. 
Published: June 2021

Abstract“Dynamic interactions” in animals are inter‐individual interactions defined by proximity in both space and time and are important for understanding spatial behaviors such as mating, predation, and territoriality, as well as phenomena such as disease spread. Dynamic interactions are typically quantified by analyzing GPS locations as points or by examining the paths that are inferred as trajectories between subsequent points. Current path‐based approaches measure movement similarity in terms of step length and azimuth, which is associated with a relatively narrow conceptualization of interaction (e.g., traveling together). This research explores how other, more complex movement parameters may differ with proximity to another individual; if proximity‐related movement differences can be detected, this information can be used to generate new dynamic interaction metrics. This approach was first tested using simulated movement data with known interaction properties, then applied to 10 black‐backed jackal (Canis mesomelus) dyads in Etosha National Park, Namibia. In general, an individual's movement was often different when it was close to another individual, suggesting that dynamic interaction can potentially be inferred by analyzing movement parameters. Movement parameters that describe directional persistence, speed, and change performed better, but there was considerable variation across movement parameters, proximity, and individuals.
Cross Section and Fission Yields Induced Uncertainty in the Water–Water Energetic Reactor-440 Burnup Calculation
Authors: Vrban Branislav , Čerba Štefan , Lüley Jakub , Osuský Filip , Nečas Vladimír 
Published: June 2021

Abstract
The properties of nuclear fuel depend on the actual isotopic composition which develops during a reactor operation. In practice, the prediction accuracy of burnup calculations serves as the basis for the future precise estimation of a core lifetime and other safety-based core characteristics. The present study quantifies nuclear data induced uncertainties of nuclide concentrations and multiplication factors in water–water energetic reactor (VVER)-440 fuel depletion analysis. The well-known SCALE system and the TRITON sequence are used with the NEWT deterministic solver in the SAMPLER module that implements stochastic techniques to assess the uncertainty in computed results. The propagation of uncertainties in neutron cross section and fission yields is studied through the depletion calculation of 2D heterogeneous VVER-440 fuel assembly with an average enrichment of 4.87 wt % of 235U and six gadolinium rods with 3.35% of Gd2O3. In the paper, fixed nominal depletion conditions are based on the real operational data of the Slovak nuclear power plant Bohunice unit 4 during cycle 30. In total, 250 cases with uncertain parameters are computed and the results are evaluated by an auxiliary tool.
Functional Evaluation of a Personalized Orthosis for Knee Osteoarthritis: A Motion Capture Analysis
Authors: Huber Martin , Eschbach Matthew , Kazerounian Kazem , Ilies Horea 
Published: June 2021

Abstract
Orthotic treatments for knee osteoarthritis (OA) typically rely on simple mechanisms such as three-point bending straps and single-pin hinges. These commonly prescribed braces cannot treat bicompartmental knee OA, do not consider the muscle weakness that typically accompanies the condition, and employ hinges that restrict the knee's natural biomechanics. Utilizing a novel, personalized joint mechanism in conjunction with magnetorheological dampers, we have developed and evaluated a brace which attempts to address these shortcomings. This process has respected three principal design goals: reducing the load experienced across the entire knee joint, generating a supportive moment to aid the thigh muscles in shock absorption, and interfering minimally with gait kinematics. Two healthy volunteers were chosen to test the system's basic functionality through gait analysis in a motion capture laboratory. Combining the collected kinematic and force-plate data with data taken from sensors onboard the brace, we integrated the brace and leg system into a single inverse dynamics analysis, from which we were able to evaluate the effect of the brace design on the subjects' knee loads and moments. Of the three design goals: a reduction in knee contact forces was demonstrated; increased shock absorption was observed, but not to statistical significance; and natural gait was largely preserved. Taken in total, the outcome of this study supports additional investigation into the system's clinical effectiveness, and suggests that further refinement of the techniques presented in this paper could open the doors to more effective OA treatment through patient specific braces.
J and CTOD-Based Tensile Strain Capacity Prediction for Pipelines With a Surface Crack in Girth Weld
Authors: Jang Youn-Young , Huh Nam-Su , Kim Ik-Joong , Kim Young-Pyo 
Published: June 2021

Abstract
Long-distance pipelines for the transport of oil and natural gas to onshore facilities are mainly fabricated by girth welding, which has been considered as a weak location for cracking. Pipeline rupture due to crack initiation and propagation in girth welding is one of the main issues of structural integrity for a stable supply of energy resources. The crack assessment should be performed by comparing the crack driving force with fracture toughness to determine the critical point of fracture. For this reason, accurate estimation of the crack driving force for pipelines with a crack in girth weld is highly required. This paper gives the newly developed J-integral and crack-tip opening displacement (CTOD) estimation in a strain-based scheme for pipelines with an internal surface crack in girth weld under axial displacement and internal pressure. For this purpose, parametric finite element analyses have been systematically carried out for a set of pipe thicknesses, crack sizes, strain hardening, overmatch, and internal pressure conditions. Using the proposed solutions, tensile strain capacities (TSCs) were quantified by performing crack assessment based on crack initiation and ductile instability and compared with TSCs from curved wide plate tests to confirm their validity.

Published: June 2021

Background: The authors aimed to identify the effect of adherence to healthy lifestyle habits on muscle strength (MS) according to a distinct health status. Methods: Longitudinal analysis using data from 2 population-based cohorts in Brazil (EpiFloripa adult, n = 862, 38.8 [11.4] y—6 y of follow-up length; EpiFloripa Aging, n = 1197, 69.7 [7.1] y—5 y of follow-up length). MS was assessed by handgrip strength (kgf). Information assessed by questionnaire regarding adequate physical activity levels, regular consumption of fruit and vegetables, low alcohol consumption, and nonsmoking habits were analyzed in the relationship with MS according to the health status. The participants were grouped into 3 health status categories: (1) with cardiovascular disease (CVD); (2) at risk of CVD (abdominal obesity or overweight/obesity, high blood pressure, hyperglycemia, and dyslipidemia); and (3) healthy individuals (without CVD and risk of CVD). Results: Simultaneous adherence of 4 healthy lifestyle habits was directly associated with MS among healthy individuals (β = 10.0, 95% CI, 2.0–18.0, SE = 4.0), at risk of CVD (β = 5.5, 95% CI, 0.3–12.6, SE = 3.6), and those with CVD (β = 11.4, 95% CI, 5.8–16.7, SE = 2.8). Conclusions: Adopting a healthy lifestyle can contribute to increased MS in adults and older adults, regardless of health status.
Physical Activity and Public Health: Four Decades of Progress
Authors: Keadle Sarah K. , Bustamante Eduardo E. , Buman Matthew P. 
Published: June 2021

Over the past 40 years, physical activity (PA) and public health has been established as a field of study. A robust evidence base has emerged demonstrating that participation in recommended amounts of PA results in a wide array of physical and mental health benefits. This led to the establishment of federal and global PA guidelines and surveillance programs. Strong evidence supports the efficacy of individual-level (e.g., goal setting) and environmental (e.g., policies) interventions to promote PA. There has also been progress in establishing a skilled and diverse workforce to execute the work of PA and public health. Looking forward, major challenges include stemming the obesity and chronic disease epidemics, addressing health inequities, and diversifying the workforce. Given the known benefits of PA and the availability of evidence-based interventions, efforts now must focus on implementing this knowledge to improve population health and reduce inequities through PA.
Henry De la Beche’s pioneering paleoecological illustration, Duria antiquior
Authors: Sharpe* Tom , Clary* Renee M. 
Published: June 2021

ABSTRACT
In late 1829 or early 1830, Henry Thomas De la Beche (1796–1855), in collaboration with William Buckland (1784–1856), published Duria antiquior [A more ancient Dorsetshire], the earliest known paleoecological illustration of ancient life. De la Beche’s interpretation was based largely on fossils then recently uncovered from Lower Jurassic (Lias) rocks near Lyme Regis on the south coast of England. Many of these were brought to scientific attention by local fossil collector and dealer Mary Anning (1799–1847). De la Beche published Duria antiquior as a lithograph, copies of which were sold as a fundraiser for Anning, who was then in straitened circumstances. Duria antiquior represented a new style of paleontological illustration that pioneered a new scientific genre addressing the history of nature and an innovative viewpoint where the observer glimpses lifeforms through the water. Other authors modified and adopted De la Beche’s visionary illustration, and the style became commonplace in popular geological publications in the later nineteenth century. Duria antiquior can be acknowledged as the pioneering graphic from which fossil organisms’ reconstructions and modern computer-generated paleoecosystem animations trace their origins.
