From offline shopping to online shopping in Nigeria: evidence from African emerging economy
Authors: Oloveze Ambrose Ogbonna , Ogbonna Chinweike , Ahaiwe Emmanuel , Ugwu Paschal Anayochukwu 
Published: December 2021

PurposeThe study builds on studies in online shopping. Existing studies in online shopping proved that it is an attraction to shoppers. In Nigeria's emerging economy the increasing Internet penetration does not equate with intention to use online shopping because it is not really used by users for online shopping. Consumers are considering it unattractive because of serious concerns that border on product quality of online shops and poor know-how on e-tech. The study sought to explore factors that could mitigate challenges to successful online shopping in Nigeria's emerging economy.Design/methodology/approachOnline survey method was used to sample 246 respondents. Measurement items were adapted from related literature. Confirmatory factor analysis and content validity were used to check the reliability and validity. A set of fit indices were used to check the goodness of fit. Data was analysed using structural equation model.FindingsResults indicate direct effects of consumer attitude, perceived usefulness and social influence on intention to use online shopping with consumer attitude shown to have a greater degree of importance towards intention to use online shopping. Thus, consumers' attitude of browsing online and going offline for purchases is dependent on attitude of like or dislike. Perceived ease of use, social influence and perceived usefulness had an indirect positive effect on consumer attitude to intention to use online shopping. Social influence is indicated to have a direct positive effect on perceived ease of use. Also perceived ease of use had a positive and direct effect on perceived usefulness.Research limitations/implicationsThe sample size is not large enough and the use of snowball sampling limits representativeness.Practical implicationsThe study indicated vital factors African emerging economies like Nigeria can use to improve consumer confidence towards intention to use online shopping and drive cashless policies. Several studies have missed the indirect effect of referents (social influence) on adoption of technology. The study proved that it can produce indirect effect as well as direct effect on intention to use online shopping.Originality/valueSeveral studies have missed the indirect effect of referents (social influence) on adoption of technology. The study proved that it can produce indirect effect as well as direct effect on online shopping.
Stock market development: a reflection of governance regulatory framework in Nigeria
Authors: Fagbemi Fisayo , Adeosun Opeoluwa Adeniyi , Bello Kehinde Mary 
Published: December 2021

PurposeThe article examines the possible long-run and short-run impact of regulatory quality on stock market performance in Nigeria for 1996–2019 period.Design/methodology/approachThe study adopts autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) bounds test and cointegrating regression techniques.FindingsFindings reveal that regulatory quality positively and significantly influences the performance of stock market, which strengthens the view that market-enhancing governance can engender an improvement in stock market performance. The study further demonstrates that quality of the regulatory environment is a critical component of market operations, since the improvement of the operation of stock market performance depends on appropriate policy measures, which could be the outcome of improved governance.Practical implicationsIt is suggested that, while improving the institutional environment is a challenge to regulators, there is need for strong and effective regulatory mechanism to enhance the development of stock market in the country.Originality/valueBased on the two competing hypotheses and limited attention, previous studies accorded the role of regulatory quality in the performance of stock market in the context of Nigeria. This study assessed the gap in the literature by taking the task of validating the impact of regulatory quality on stock market development.
A worldwide quantitative review of the iSchools' archival education
Authors: Li King Kwan , Chiu Dickson K.W. 
Published: December 2021

PurposeArchival studies have long been a critical part of information education around the world. This paper attempts to provide a worldwide overview of archival education among main information schools worldwide and find out their similarity and differences to suggest measures for the development of archival education.Design/methodology/approachQuantitative research is conducted including ten elements of the iSchools' archival education which are (1) geographical distribution, (2) names of degrees, (3) names of concentration/specialization, (4) names of academic units offering the programs, (5) levels of academic units offering the programs, (6) study mode, (7) credit requirement for program completion, (8) percentage of required credits, (9) capstone requirements and (10) other accreditations. Programs among different regions are compared.FindingsThe study found that 43 out of 96 iSchool members from 13 countries/regions offer a total of 45 master's level archival education, and most of them are from North America. Both similarities and differences among the schools are identified and discussed.Practical implicationsThis study’s findings suggest that iSchools may explore the possibility of organizing more conferences and forums to exchange ideas on archival studies and education issues. The iSchool community could contribute to this traditional field by attracting more members worldwide and cooperating with other accreditation organizations of archival education.Originality/valueMost research on archival education focuses on just regional or country-based issues, and scant research explores a global view.

Published: December 2021

PurposeThis study aims to examine consumers’ perception of artificial intelligence (AI) and AI marketing communication.Design/methodology/approachTwenty in-depth interviews were conducted to collect data and phenomenological reduction was used to analyze data.FindingsFindings suggest that consumers’ interpretation of AI is multidimensional and relational with a focus on functionality and emotion, as well as comparison and contrast between AI and human beings; consumers’ perception of voice-assisted AI centers on the aspects of function, communication, adaptation, relationship and privacy; consumers consider AI marketing communication to be unavoidable and generally acceptable; and consumers believe that AI marketing communication to be limited in its effect on influencing their evaluation of products/brands or shaping their consumptive behaviors.Originality/valueAccording to the authors' knowledge, this study is the first research project to gauge consumers' perception on AI and AI marketing communication.
Bulldog decision
Authors: Cyphers Travis Lee , Apodaca Julianne Renee 
Published: December 2021

Theoretical basis
The theoretical basis for this case is a focus on ethical decision-making based upon a decision-making tree proposed by Bagley et al. (2003). Once multiple options are determined as ethical, integrating authentic leadership into the decision-making process can help leaders made difficult decisions.

Research methodology
The authors conducted extensive research through IBISWorld, EBSCOhost, and academic journals to review ethical decision-making and authentic leadership. The authors successfully piloted the case with over 100 undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in leadership courses.

Case overview/synopsis
The case describes an ethical decision a young commanding officer must make. A soldier under their leadership has been charged with an inappropriate relationship with a minor. The officer must decide between two actions that are legal within the military justice system. Each decision has ramifications that will significantly affect the organization.

Complexity academic level
The case is best taught in undergraduate and graduate leadership courses. Course participants do not need a detailed understanding of military leadership or military law to apply fundamental concepts.
Research Note: Signal‐to‐noise ratio computation for challenging land single‐sensor seismic data
Authors: Bakulin Andrey , Silvestrov Ilya , Protasov Maxim 
Published: December 2021

ABSTRACTThis study explores practical methods of estimating the signal‐to‐noise ratio of challenging seismic data containing a signal too small to be identified visually, as often occurring in a desert environment with single‐sensor surveys. As a result, the estimation can only be performed using an ensemble of traces. We compare several data‐driven estimation approaches and reveal their practical limits using a controlled experiment. We identify a stacking‐based method as the most robust with the broadest range of applicability. We relate the number of traces in the ensemble to the lowest reliably estimated absolute signal‐to‐noise ratio possible with this method using such an ensemble. We support the findings using synthetic and single‐sensor field data with low signal‐to‐noise ratios down to ‐60 dB. The proposed methodology allows reliable data‐driven estimation of very low absolute signal‐to‐noise ratios directly from pre‐stack seismic data.
How does anisotropy of focal region change structure of moment tensors?
Authors: Diner Çağrı 
Published: December 2021

ABSTRACTThe invariants of the moment tensor such as its norm, eigenvalues and trace are closely related to the physical properties of the seismic source and the focal region, for example, seismic moment, radiation pattern, non‐double‐couple components. In this study, we investigate the relationship between these invariants and the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the transversely isotropic elasticity tensor of the focal region. More specifically, we study how these invariants change as the source orientations vary with respect to the symmetry axes of the transversely isotropic elasticity tensor, by plotting these invariants on the stereographic net. Fortunately, one can plot them since they are independent of the strike of the fault when the focal region is a vertical transversely isotropic medium . Eigenvalues of the elasticity tensor control the invariants of the moment tensor; for instance, the ratio of the maximum and minimum norms achieved for some orientations of source is equal to the ratio of the two specific eigenvalues of the elasticity tensor. Moreover, the separation of the eigenvectors of the moment tensor from the eigenvectors of the source tensor is related to the deviation of the eigenvalues of the transversely isotropic elasticity tensor from the eigenvalues of the closest isotropic elasticity tensor. It is also found that this deviation is responsible for the percentages of non‐double‐couple components of the resulting moment tensor. This linear algebra point of view makes it easier to understand why and how the structure of the moment tensor changes for different orientations of sources.
Why Offences Specific to Prostitution are Unjustified
Authors: Pundik Amit 
Published: December 2021

AbstractThe criminalisation of prostitution takes various forms: some offences target sex‐workers, others are aimed at third‐parties (pimps or advertisers) or criminalise clients for consumption. I argue that existing theories cannot justify any offences specific to prostitution; hence, either current prostitution‐specific offences should be extended to other types of sexual relations or the criminalisation of prostitution should be abolished. I propose a ‘continuum’ of different scenarios in which consideration, either monetary or in‐kind, was necessary for sexual relations to take place – from street prostitution to marriage solely based on financial interests. The absence of variables found in prostitution from the other scenarios on the continuum does not impinge on the normative flaw that existing theories attribute to prostitution. Consequently, even if existing theories can justify the criminalisation of prostitution, they cannot justify prostitution‐specific offences because the same justification would over‐inclusively apply to forms of sexual relations whose criminalisation is commonly regarded as unjustified.
Bioactive compounds in lettuce: Highlighting the benefits to human health and impacts of preharvest and postharvest practices
Authors: Yang Xiao , Gil María I. , Yang Qichang , Tomás‐Barberán Francisco A. 
Published: December 2021

AbstractLettuce is one of the most commonly consumed leafy vegetables worldwide and is available throughout the entire year. Lettuce is also a significant source of natural phytochemicals. These compounds, including glycosylated flavonoids, phenolic acids, carotenoids, the vitamin B groups, ascorbic acid, tocopherols, and sesquiterpene lactones, are essential nutritional bioactive compounds. This review aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the composition of health‐promoting compounds in different types of lettuce, the potential health benefits of lettuce in reducing the risks of chronic diseases, and the effect of preharvest and postharvest practices on the biosynthesis and accumulation of health‐promoting compounds in lettuce.
Uniportal video‐assisted thoracic surgery approach for simultaneous lung cancer and thymic carcinoma: Case report and literature review
Authors: Frasca Luca , Tacchi Giovanni , Longo Filippo , Marziali Valentina , De Peppo Valerio , Moscardelli Alessandro , Crucitti Pierfilippo 
Published: December 2021

AbstractThymic carcinoma is an epithelial tumor derived from thymic epithelial cells. Thymic tumors may be associated with other simultaneous and/or metachronous extra‐thymic tumors (e.g., lung cancer). Here, we report a case of simultaneous surgical management of lung and mediastinal neoplasm together with a review of the literature. During radiological follow‐up for prostate and colorectal cancer, an 82‐year‐old man was diagnosed with lung cancer with simultaneous mediastinal suspected neoplasm. Both were surgically removed with a single intervention performed via a uniportal video‐assisted thoracic surgery (uni‐VATS) approach. The literature emphasizes how extra‐thymic cancer can be diagnosed before, concurrently and consecutively with thymic neoplasia. The surgical treatment of such simultaneous cancer is challenging. We succeeded in the excision of both neoplasia with a mini‐invasive surgical technique. This report highlights the feasibility of uniportal VATS in a patient with very unusual clinical and oncological history.

AbstractRegional biogeographical patterns result from a complex combination across habitat, climate and environmental variables. Biotic and abiotic variables strongly influence the diversity and spatial distribution patterns. However, very few studies analyse the close interaction and effect of environmental variables on diversity at fine spatiotemporal scales. In this study, we evaluated the influence of soil type, vegetation cover and temperature on species diversity and functional structure of dung beetle assemblages. Dung beetle species were sampled using pitfall traps baited with cattle dung from sandy and clay soils in open woodland and closed canopy areas in Mkhuze Game Reserve, KwaZulu‐Natal, South Africa. We performed a PERMANOVA, a PERMDISP and an NMDS to analyse differences in species composition between soil and vegetation cover types. To test the effect of environmental variables on species richness and abundance, we performed a generalised least squares model. Lastly, we searched for nodes using a bipartite analysis to evaluate network’s potential modularity. We collected 1439 specimens comprising 27 species and 13 genera. Species composition differed between environmental variables. Soil type was the most important driver for changes in dung beetle species composition. Species richness and abundance were influenced by the interaction between soil type and vegetation cover. The combination of microenvironmental preferences potentially influenced the dung beetle assemblage diversity and functional structure. Combining all these preferences may act as a dilution mechanism of interspecific competition in saturated habitat conditions, reducing the number of species that potentially interact and generating a modular network structure of the assemblage.

Authors: Garrido Sandra , Markwell Holly , Andreallo Fiona , Hatcher Deborah 
Published: December 2021

AbstractObjectiveThis study aimed to identify the core content and design issues in developing an online training course in the effective use of music for people with dementia.MethodsA co‐design approach was taken in which focus groups were conducted with aged care staff and family caregivers (n = 17; 76.5% female). A general inductive approach was taken to data analysis. The consolidated criteria for reporting qualitative research (COREQ) guidelines were followed to ensure rigour in this study.ResultsParticipants identified five core concepts for inclusion in the training program including the benefits of music, the need to assess for vulnerability to negative responses, music selection strategies, timing of use and equipment selection. Themes on design and implementation such as the need for role‐specific content for care staff at all levels and scenario‐based learning were identified.ConclusionsThe development of online training in music use for carers of people with dementia needs to consider the demands on carers and develop training that is informative and engaging without placing large time demands on the user. Support at a management and executive level will be important to the implementation of such training in residential aged care contexts.
Border Orientation in a Globalizing World
Authors: Simmons Beth A. , Kenwick Michael R. 
Published: December 2021

AbstractBorder politics are a salient component of high international politics. States are increasingly building infrastructure to ‘‘secure’’ their borders. We introduce the concept of border orientation to describe the extent to which the state is committed to the spatial display of capacities to control the terms of penetration of its national borders. Border orientation provides a lens through which to analyze resistance to globalization, growing populism, and the consequences of intensified border politics. We measure border orientation using novel, geospatial data on the built environment along the world's borders and theorize that real and perceived pressures of globalization have resulted in more controlling forms of border governance. Empirical evidence supports this claim: States build more along their borders when faced with economic, cultural, and security‐based anxieties. Border orientation enhances the study of border politics, complementing the politics of territorial division with a richer politics of liminal securitization and its consequences.

Published: December 2021

AbstractGlucose oversupply promotes formation of fatty liver, and fatty liver is usually accompanied with hyperglycemia. However, the mechanism by which glucose promotes formation of fatty liver is not very clear. In this study, fatty liver was successfully induced in Landes goose by 19 days of overfeeding with corn‐based feed, the overfed geese had a significantly higher level of blood glucose than the normally fed geese (control group). In goose primary liver cells, high level of glucose promoted fat deposition and induced the expression of SREBF2(or SREBP2), a key regulator of lipid metabolism, and its intronic gene, miR‐33. Moreover, overexpression of miRNA‐33(miR‐33) promotes lipid accumulation in goose primary liver cells. Consistently, miR‐33 inhibitor suppressed glucose induced lipid accumulation in liver cells. Interestingly, the relative abundance of miR‐33 in goose fatty liver was significantly higher than that in normal liver, while the relative mRNA and protein abundances of CROT, the target gene of miR‐33, in goose fatty liver were significantly lower than those in goose normal liver. Taken together, these findings suggest that miR‐33 mediates glucose promotion of lipid accumulation in goose primary liver cells, and that glucose participates in formation of goose fatty liver by regulating the expression of miR‐33/CROT.

SummaryThe prognostic role of TP53 disruption has been established in diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Aim of this analysis was to correlate TP53 mutations by Sanger sequencing, cell of origin (COO) profile by Lymph2Cx panel on the NanoString platform and MYC, BCL2 and BCL6 overexpression or re‐arrangements by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and fluorescent in‐situ hybridization (FISH), with outcome in DLBCL patients enrolled into the FIL‐DLCL04 trial (NCT00499018). One hundred and twenty‐five DLBCL patients with tumour block available were analyzed. TP53 was mutated in 11/125 (9%) cases; 60/125 patients received high‐dose chemoimmunotherapy up‐front, as for the randomization arm; COO was reported in 88 patients: 48 germinal centre B‐cell like, 25 activated B‐cell like and 17 unclassified; 26 patients were double expressors in IHC and 11 double hit in FISH. After a median follow‐up of 72 months, five‐year failure‐free survival (FFS) for TP53 mutated versus wild‐type was 24% and 72%, and five‐year overall survival (OS) was 34% and 83%, respectively. Adjusted hazard ratio (HR) was 2·28 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0·89–5·86, p = 0·086] and 4·05 (95% CI 1·37–11·97, p = 0·011) for FFS and OS, respectively. In this series of young DLBCL patients, TP53 gene mutation identified a poor prognosis subgroup, regardless of treatment and other biological markers.
