Published: July 2021

PurposeBuilding elements that are damaged by fire are often strengthened by fiber wrapping techniques. Self-compacting concrete (SCC) is an advanced building material that is widely used in construction due to its ability to flow and pass through congested reinforcement and fill the required areas easily without compaction. The aim of the research work is to examine the flexural behavior of SCC subjected to elevated temperature. This research work examines the effect of natural air cooling (AC) and water cooling (WC) on flexural behavior of M20, M30, M40 and M50 grade fire-affected retro-fitted SCC. The results of the investigation will enable the designers to choose the appropriate repair technique for improving the service life of structures.Design/methodology/approachIn this study, an attempt has been made to evaluate the flexural behavior of fire exposed reinforced SCC beams retrofitted with laminates of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP), basalt fiber reinforced polymer (BFRP) and glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP). Beam specimens were cast with M20, M30, M40 and M50 grades of SCC and heated to 925ºC using an electrical furnace for 60 min duration following ISO 834 standard fire curve. The heated SCC beams were cooled by either natural air or water spraying.FindingsThe reduction in the ultimate load carrying capacity of heated beams was about 42% and 55% for M50 grade specimens that were cooled by air and water, respectively, in comparison with the reference specimens. The increase in the ultimate load was 54%, 38% and 27% for the specimens retrofitted with CFRP, BFRP and GFRP, respectively, compared with the fire-affected specimens cooled by natural air. Water-cooled specimens had shown higher level of damage than the air-cooled specimens. The specimens wrapped with carbon fiber could able to improve the flexural strength than basalt and glass fiber wrapping.Originality/valueSCC, being a high performance concrete, is essential to evaluate the performance under fire conditions. This research work provides the flexural behavior and physical characteristics of SCC subjected to elevated temperature as per ISO rate of heating. In addition attempt has been made to enhance the flexural strength of fire-exposed SCC with wrapping using different fibers. The experimental data will enable the engineers to choose the appropriate material for retrofitting.
Orchestration capability: a bibliometric analysis
Authors: Shi Qingyue , Shen Lei 
Published: July 2021

PurposeAs inter-company cooperation and competition grow, orchestration capability plays an increasingly important role. This paper aims to present an overview of orchestration capability in the business and management field, identify the current state and explore future research trends.Design/methodology/approachThis literature review is based on 132 papers collected from the Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection data (1997–March 2021). HistCite was used to analyze the year of publication, leading scholars, influential articles, key journals, top countries and institutions. Research streams were identified from analysis of co-citation, bibliographic coupling and keyword co-occurrence by HistCite and VOSviewer.FindingsThis paper finds that Hitt MA is the most prolific scholar, and theStrategic Management Journalis the most dominating publication among the orchestration capability publications. The USA and Texas A&M University are the most influential countries and institutions, respectively. Three major clusters are identified based on citation mapping, bibliographic coupling analysis of documents and keywords co-occurrence analysis: dynamic capability and resource-based view, resource orchestration and network orchestration. Based on the three clusters, the authors analyze how resource orchestration and network orchestration research develops over time and summarize the evolutionary path of orchestration capability literature.Research limitations/implicationsThis article builds on data from WoS Core Collection, and some new but important articles may not be analyzed, since bibliometrics consider high citation as an indicator to select influential articles.Practical implicationsWith the rapid development of the digital economy, the frequent interactions between companies pose many challenges for businesses. Enterprises can take orchestration actions effectively and efficiently from various perspectives and continuously improve their orchestration capabilities in collaboration with partners to achieve and sustain competitive advantages.Originality/valueThis paper provides a systematic review of orchestration capability using bibliometric analysis, which has not been employed in previous studies. Besides, this article presents a broad understanding of how scholars have researched the subject over the years.
Calculation of energy and magnetic susceptibility of Fe atomic system during dislocation motion in magnetic field
Authors: Kraiev Maksym , Voronkov Eugene , Kraieva Violeta 
Published: July 2021

PurposeThe purpose is to calculate the change in the total energy of a small fragment of an idealized lattice of iron (in its pure form and with impurity atoms) containing an edge dislocation during its elementary motion at one interatomic spacing, both under the influence of a constant magnetic field and without it. The introduction of a magnetic field into the system is aimed at checking the adequacy of the description of the phenomenon of magnetoplasticity by changing the total energy of the atomic system.Design/methodology/approachThe design procedure is based on a quantum-mechanical description of the switching process of the covalent bond of atoms in the dislocation core. The authors used the method of density functional theory in the Kohn-Shem version, implemented in the GAUSSIAN 09 software package. Using the perturbation theory, the authors modeled the impact of an external constant magnetic field on the energy of a system of lattice atoms.FindingsThe simulation results confirmed the effect of an external constant magnetic field on the switching energy of the covalent bond of atoms in the dislocation core, and also a change in the magnetic susceptibility of a system of atoms with a dislocation. This complements the description of the magnetoplastic effect during the deformation of metals.Originality/valueThe authors created quantum-mechanical models of the dislocation motion in the Fe crystal lattice: without impurities, with a substitutional atom Cr and with an interstitial atom C. The models take into account the influence of an external constant magnetic field.

Authors: Davidson Donna , Stagnitti Karen 
Published: July 2021

IntroductionLearn to Play Therapy aims to build children's ability to spontaneously initiate pretend play. The purpose of this study was to explore evidence for this therapy for children with autism spectrum disorder by investigating the changes in a child's pretend play and key techniques used in the process of therapy.MethodsSix children with a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (mean age = 3.8 years; SD = 1.2 years) were engaged in therapy sessions with a parent. Four therapy session videos for each child were selected across four time points from 15 videos of each child, representing 6 months of therapy. Retrospective video analysis was used to investigate the changes in the child's ability by coding six play skills and enjoyment of play. Key techniques in the process of Learn to Play Therapy were analysed by frequency of occurrence during sessions.ResultsThere was a significant increase in the child's pretend play ability for play scripts (p = .042), sequences of play actions (p = .043), object substitution (p = .043), doll/teddy play (p = .028), social interaction (p = .043) and enjoyment (p = .026). There was a mirroring of the therapist, parent and child for all key techniques, with parents showing increased frequency rates after Time 1. Repetition with variation decreased by Time 4. Challenging the child showed higher rates in Times 2 and 4. Focussed attention remained stable, and the child's talk during play had the highest total frequency.ConclusionLearn to Play Therapy is an effective therapy in building pretend play ability in children with autism, with parents increasing their involvement in using the key techniques after Time 1. The results inform therapists on how the key techniques were used within the therapy sessions to increase the child's pretend play ability.

AbstractThe organisational, physical and social environment within residential aged care settings greatly influence its residents' sense of autonomy, choice and control and their ability to engage in meaningful occupations. Identifying to what extent these environmental contexts are supportive and well‐coordinated could assist with promoting meaningful engagement of residents. The Residential Environment Impact Scale (REIS) was developed to measure the impact of the physical and social environment on residents. This study examined the benefits and barriers to implementing the REIS in four Australian Residential Aged Care Facilities (RACFs) and factors to consider during implementation.MethodA multisite sequential mixed‐methods study was conducted. Research participants included occupational therapists conducting the REIS and leadership staff examining the REIS reports in four facilities. Data consisted of formal observations of the REIS assessment process, an online survey of all participants and two research consensus groups. Qualitative findings were generated from field notes, open‐ended survey questions and group discussions. Close‐ended survey questions provided quantitative data.FindingsThe REIS was considered a useful audit tool, generating a holistic overview of the RACF. It highlighted the quality of person‐centred care and the potential role of occupational therapists to promote opportunities for meaningful occupational engagement. Barriers included administration time, personal characteristics of residents and limited resources to action recommendations.ConclusionThe REIS has potential to be an audit tool for a whole‐environment approach to facility assessment of residents' sense of autonomy, occupational choice and meaningful engagement. As such, it provides occupational therapists with scope to support RACFs meeting national quality standards.

AbstractMast cell activation is initiated by two signalling pathways: immunoglobulin E (IgE)‐dependent and IgE‐independent pathway. It is reported that the IgE‐independent type or pseudo‐allergy pathway gets activated by G‐protein‐dependent activation of the mast cell. Recently, adiponectin (APN) receptors, AdipoR1, and AdipoR2 have been identified as G‐protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs). Interestingly, APN replenishment is reported to activate the Nrf2/HO‐1 signalling axis. However, no study has been performed interlinking the role of APN and the Nrf2/HO‐1 signalling axis in pseudo‐allergic reaction. In the present study, we evaluated the anti‐pseudo‐allergic effects of β‐caryophyllene, an FDA‐approved food additive, in activating AdipoR1/AdipoR2 and Nrf2/HO‐1 axis signalling pathway. Compound 48/80 (C48/80)‐induced systemic and cutaneous anaphylaxis‐like shock in BALB/c mice was performed to assess the efficacy of β‐caryophyllene (BCP). To assess the effect of BCP in anaphylactic hypotension, mean arterial pressure was measured in Wistar rats. Inhibitory properties of BCP in mast cell degranulation were estimated in rat peritoneal mast cells (RPMCs). ELISA was performed to estimate interleukin (IL)‐6, tumour necrosis factor (TNF), IL‐1β, IgE, ovalbumin (OVA)‐IgE and APN and western blotting for protein expression of Nrf2/HO‐1 and AdipoR1‐AdipoR2. BCP dose‐dependently inhibited systemic and cutaneous anaphylaxis‐like shock induced by C48/80. BCP dose‐dependently inhibited the mast cell degranulation followed by inhibition of histamine release. Also BCP dose‐dependently activated the Nrf2/HO‐1 and AdipoR1‐AdipoR2 signalling axis pathway. Moreover, BCP reversed the drop in blood pressure when the haemodynamic parameters were accessed. Our findings suggest that BCP is a potent AdipoR1/AdipoR2‐Nrf2/HO‐1 axis pathway agonist that may suppress the IgE‐independent pathway towards allergic response to secretagogues.
How Context Matters: The Significance of Political Homogeneity and Language for Political Efficacy
Authors: Karv Thomas , Lindell Marina , Rapeli Lauri 
Published: July 2021

The extent of political efficacy within a community reflects the general state of affairs within that community, with higher levels of political efficacy presumably related to other kinds of socially preferable attitudes. High levels of political efficacy could further be regarded as a glue that keeps a political community together and should be even more important within minority communities. As political efficacy differs across minority communities, it indicates that individual levels of political efficacy is not only an individual trait but something also affected by the local contextual features. To explore the relationship between varying local contexts and political efficacy within a minority population, we use data from Barometern 2019 (N = 3,913), which is a survey measuring the opinions and attitudes of the Swedish‐speaking population in Finland, i.e., the Swedish‐speaking Finns. This study, thus, analyses the role of contextual‐ and individual‐level determinants (e.g., age, education and gender) as well as linguistic identity (Swedish and bilingual) and political interest on both internal (subjective sense of political understanding) and external (political responsiveness) political efficacy. We find that context matters for political efficacy within a minority context but that the effects differ between the internal and external types of political efficacy. The findings presented will contribute to increasing our knowledge about political efficacy within a minority context.

Published: July 2021

AbstractObjectiveTo evaluate differences in access to behavioral health services for Medicaid enrollees covered by a Medicaid entity that integrated the financing of behavioral and physical health care (“carve‐in group”) versus a Medicaid entity that separated this financing (“carve‐out group”).Data Sources/Study SettingMedicaid claims data from two Medicaid entities in the Portland, Oregon tri‐county area in 2016.Study DesignIn this cross‐sectional study, we compared differences across enrollees in the carve‐in versus carve‐out group, using a machine learning approach to incorporate a large set of covariates and minimize potential selection bias. Our primary outcomes included behavioral health visits for a variety of different provider types. Secondary outcomes included inpatient, emergency department, and primary care visits.Data CollectionWe used Medicaid claims, including adults with at least 9 months of enrollment.Principal FindingsThe study population included 45,786 adults with mental health conditions. Relative to the carve‐out group, individuals in the carve‐in group were more likely to access outpatient behavioral health (2.39 percentage points, p < 0.0001, with a baseline rate of approximately 73%). The carve‐in group was also more likely to access primary care physicians, psychologists, and social workers and less likely to access psychiatrists and behavioral health specialists. Access to outpatient behavioral health visits was more likely in the carve‐in arrangement among individuals with mild or moderate mental health conditions (compared to individuals with severe mental illness) and among black enrollees (compared to white enrollees).ConclusionsFinancial integration of physical and behavioral health in Medicaid managed care was associated with greater access to behavioral health services, particularly for individuals with mild or moderate mental health conditions and for black enrollees. Recent changes to incentivize financial integration should be monitored to assess differential impacts by illness severity, race and ethnicity, provider types, and other factors.
A few drinks behind—Alcohol price and income elasticities in Europe: A microeconometric note
Authors: Rousselière Samira , Petit Gaëlle , Coisnon Thomas , Musson Anne , Rousselière Damien 
Published: July 2021

AbstractWe provide new cross‐country evidence on alcohol price and income elasticities based on microdata on individual behaviour. Our approach is original as previous research mainly estimates determinants of consumption with macroeconomic data. We use the latest available wave of the European Social Survey, 2014, merged with the Annual Database of National Beverage Consumption. We estimate a generalised Heckman model on the individual and national determinants of alcohol consumption with standard errors bootstrapped at the country level. We were able to identify direct and indirect effects of price and income, including their specific impacts on drinkers and abstainers.

AbstractBackgroundTakayasu arteritis (TAK) is a rare large vessel vasculitis, and epidemiological data on TAK are lacking in China. Thus, we designed this study to estimate the TAK prevalence and incidence in residential Shanghai, China.MethodsData on diagnosed TAK cases aged over 16 years were retrieved from 22 tertiary hospitals in Shanghai through hospital electronic medical record systems between January 1, 2015 and December 31, 2017 to estimate the prevalence and incidence. A systematic literature review based on searches in PubMed, Ovid‐Medline, Excerpta Medica Database (EMBASE), Web of Science, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) was performed to summarize TAK distribution across the world.ResultsIn total 102 TAK patients, with 64% female, were identified. The point prevalence (2015‐2017) was 7.01 (95% CI 5.65‐8.37) cases per million, and the mean annual incidence was 2.33 (1.97‐3.21) cases per million. The average age of TAK patients was 44 ± 16 years, with the highest prevalence (11.59 [9.23‐19.50] cases per million) and incidence (3.55 [0.72 3.74] cases per million) in the 16 to 34 years population. Seventeen reports were included in the system review, showing that the epidemiology of TAK varied greatly across the world. The incidence and prevalence were both relatively higher in Asian countries, with the prevalence ranging 3.3‐40 cases per million and annual incidence ranging 0.34‐2.4 cases per million.ConclusionsThe prevalence and incidence of TAK in Shanghai was at moderate to high levels among the previous reports. The disease burden varied globally among racial populations.

Authors: Mortimore Alexandra Maria , Barsoum Ramez , Lambie Duncan , McMeniman Erin 
Published: July 2021

AbstractTreatment for telangiectasia macularis eruptiva perstans (TMEP) is often challenging due to lack of an established first‐line therapy and as such is primarily focused on symptomatic relief. Omalizumab shows promise as a potential therapy for mast cell disorders; however, its efficacy in TMEP is yet to be established. This case describes a 72‐year‐old woman with chronic refractory TMEP achieving symptomatic remission within 4 months of commencing omalizumab therapy.
