Published: March 2021

A new diffraction beamline for materials science has been built at the Canadian Light Source synchrotron. The X-ray source is an in-vacuum wiggler with a 2.5 T peak magnetic field at 5.2 mm gap. The optical configuration includes a toroidal mirror, a single side-bounce Bragg monochromator, and a cylindrical mirror, producing a sub-150 µm vertical × 500 µm horizontal focused beam with a photon energy range of 7–22 keV and a flux of 1012 photons per second at the sample position. Three endstations are currently open to general users, and the techniques available include high-resolution powder diffraction, small molecule crystallography, X-ray reflectivity, in situ rapid thermal annealing, and SAXS/WAXS. The beamline design parameters, calculated and measured performance, and initial experimental results are presented to demonstrate the capabilities for materials science.

Authors: Yudhanti Ceicilia Bintang Hari , Tjahjadi Bambang 
Published: March 2021

PurposeThis study aims to examine the effect of company size on social responsibility disclosure. In addition, this study examines the president director's busyness and political connections in moderating the association between company size and disclosure of corporate social responsibility.Design/methodology/approachThe data used in this study were secondary data which included 1,165 observations (company-year). The analysis technique used was multiple regression method and the analysis was carried out by employing STATA software.FindingsResearchers found that company size has a positive effect on social responsibility disclosure. The busyness of the president directors and companies connected to politics significantly weakens the association between company size and disclosure of social responsibility.Research limitations/implicationsThis study uses only one measure of the driving force of social responsibility disclosurePractical implicationsThis study contributes to the social responsibility literature by examining the effect of company size on social responsibility. Information on social responsibility disclosure has been carried out by companies in Indonesia; however, it is indicated that only large companies provide sufficient information on social responsibility.Social implicationsStakeholders can find out information on social responsibility carried out by the company.Originality/valueCompanies with busy CEOs and politically connected firms weaken the association between company size and disclosure of social responsibility.
Rural–urban drift: labour migration, health-seeking behaviour disparity in the urban slum of Madina, Ghana
Authors: Afeadie Ransford Kwaku 
Published: March 2021

PurposeThe health challenges that characterise most of the migrants' urban slums raises a lot of concern for their well-being. Health-seeking behaviour becomes an important step towards maintaining a healthy life. The importance of contextual issues is necessary to help meet specific community health needs and programmes. Therefore, this study aims to bridge the knowledge gap by investigating health-seeking behaviour disparity among rural–urban labour migrant's slum dwellers before and after migration to the urban slums of Madina in the Greater Accra Region, Ghana.Design/methodology/approachThe author used explanatory sequential approach of research investigation. Questionnaire and interview guides were used to collect data from the respondents however, in the absence of an existing reliable sampling frame, the various communities were selected by the use of cluster sampling proportional to size. At the second stage, a simple random sampling was used to select the various household heads. A total of 241 questionnaires were retrieved from the respondents representing a response rate of 100%. The author used purposive sampling technique to conduct eight in-depth interviews and six key informants' interviews.FindingsThe author found various discrepancies in many of the activities that could fulfil substantial health-seeking behaviour in the slum as compared to migrant's places of origin. The reason for coming to the slum amidst many settlements needs and low education background are the factors that accounted for this. This study, therefore, contradicts the proposition held by the health belief model. It is, therefore, important to note that contextual issues are key, in this case, rural–urban migrant slums present a different dynamic that must be taken into account when designing health programmes for such settings.Originality/valueMany, if not all the, studies on health-seeking behaviour have focused on urban slums without taking into account urban migrants' slums. Such a failure to take into account the variations of the health needs of migrants' urban slum settings can eventually lead to a mismatch of health programmes meant to address their challenges. Therefore, this study brings to the fore such variations that must be taken into account when designing health programmes. The study also indicates that even with the same people, there were disparities in terms of health-seeking behaviour in the slum and at places of origin.

Published: March 2021

PurposeThis study aims to understand the role of digital literacies as a moderator between employee engagement and its antecedents, namely, workplace digitalisation and innovative culture.Design/methodology/approachA total of 256 valid samples were used in the analysis. The respondents were individuals used as management-level executives in companies located in Selangor/Kuala Lumpur. The model was tested using structural equation modelling.FindingsThe findings reveal that there exists a significant association between employee engagement and its antecedents, namely, workplace digitalisation and innovative culture. Digital literacies are found to moderate the relationships between workplace digitalisation-employee engagement and innovative culture-employee engagement.Practical implicationsThis paper provides new insight to the practitioners about the role of digital literacies in raising employee engagement in the digital workplace.Originality/valueThese findings enrich the literature on employee engagement, whereby, improving employee digital literacies strengthens employee acceptance to workplace digitalisation and benefit from the innovative culture to stay engaged.
Allegation of diversion of recovered proceeds of crime: defect in the EFCC Act 2004 and the need for amendment
Authors: Yakubu Sirajo 
Published: March 2021

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to critically examine the Economic and Financial Crime Act 2004 to investigate whether there are defects in the 2004 Acts which enable abuse of the system by those who are responsible for fighting corruption and other economic crimes in Nigeria.

Design/methodology/approach
The paper adopts qualitative methods of research. The research studied the laws and regulations relevant to the recovery and management of proceeds of crime. However, personal experience of the author in the civil service, security and law enforcement accounts significantly.

Findings
The paper finds that the provisions of the EFCC Act 2004 relevant to the recovery of proceeds of crime and management of recovered assets are defective. The 2004 Act contains loopholes that enable mismanagement and diversion of recovered assets for personal use. Although the EFCC Act empowers the Minister of Justice to issue Regulations to regulate the activities of the EFCC, the Asset Tracing, Recovery and Management Regulations 2019 the Minister of Justice issued cannot be used to close the loopholes. Thus, there is an urgent need to amend the EFCC Act 2004.

Research limitations/implications
Non-availability of data on the mismanagement of seized and recovered assets is a severe limitation. Thus, analysis in this research focuses on the laws and regulations to illustrates the defects in the 2004 Act. Also, the study could only use reported cases and incidence of corruption among the security and law enforcement to illustrate unsuitability of security and law enforcement for the position of the chairman of the EFCC.

Originality/value
There is no comprehensive work that examines the defects of the provisions of the 2004 Act that breeds lack of transparency in the recovery of proceeds of crime as well as mismanagement of recovered assets. Therefore, this paper is of value to the Nigerian Government and the National Assembly in considering amendments to the EFCC Act 2004. The paper is also of importance to researchers.
The COVID-19 response: considerations for future humanitarian supply chain and logistics management research
Authors: Thompson Denise D.P. , Anderson Renata 
Published: March 2021

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is three-fold: (1) this editorial viewpoint gives context to the manuscripts included in this special issue on pandemics and epidemics. (2) The viewpoint frames a research agenda for the vital work necessary to understand and make the humanitarian supply chain more resilient. (3) The authors hope that the viewpoint as well as the included papers contribute to the dialogue and facilitate a research program over the short- to medium-term about mass complex disasters, including epidemics and pandemics, and their effects on the humanitarian supply chain and logistics.Design/methodology/approachThe paper examines COVID-19 response by focusing on the USA as a mini case study. It utilizes contemporaneous reporting in USA newspapers between February and July of 2020. Reports made during an incident or event provide some of the most accurate records of that event and point to gaps in our understanding of research in the humanitarian supply chain.FindingsThe novel COVID-19 pandemic highlights unanticipated ways that pandemics and epidemics impact HLSCM and display the supply chain's fragility in stark terms. The paper layouts some of the thematic issues that emerged from COVID-19 that could point the way for future research in the field in the short run.Research limitations/implicationsThe articles accessed for the paper dated February–July 2020. With the pandemic ongoing, many more thematic areas or more enduring ones might surface that could change the direction of the findings or recommendations. In addition, relying on secondary sources like newspapers for this research largely depends on the quality of the reports. Moreover, newspaper articles are not as scientifically robust as are academic journals as some. The viewpoints could be biased. It is also difficult to verify the best news sources, if they are not knowna priori.Practical implicationsThematic lessons from America's COVID-19 impact set the stage for future research agenda in the humanitarian supply chain and logistics response over the next few years. There will be other pandemics. The question is not if, but when.Social implicationsThe COVID-19 pandemic makes it impossible for us to ignore the link between the global supply chain, natural and human-made disasters, including epidemics and pandemics, environmental degradation and deforestation.Originality/valueThe paper's originality lies it being one of the first, if not the first, to deal with this topic within the operations/logistics/supply chain management field. It therefore helps to pave the way for other perspectives and approaches to understand and advance the field of humanitarian logistics and supply chain management.
Robust contractor evaluation criteria classification for modern technology public construction projects
Authors: Khoso Ali Raza , Md Yusof Aminah , Chai Changsaar , Laghari Muhammad Aslam 
Published: March 2021

Purpose
The emergence of massive modern technology construction projects is seen to be a real occurrence in Pakistan’s construction industry, which in turn demands a better and systematic way of undertaking the project. Hence, this requires capable contractors to perform the task. A plethora of research studies are carried in the past three decades on the identification of evaluation criteria of contractor’s selection, but the road of modern technology construction projects is still unpaved.

Design/methodology/approach
This study strives for the most essential but exhaustive criteria, especially for modern technology construction projects in Pakistan. A pilot survey followed by an exhaustive questionnaire survey was carried out alongside with one-on-one interactions with professional experts serving in various public organizations under public procurement department. A total of 87 attributes were analyzed, correlated, rotated and weighted using exploratory factor analysis for identification of evaluation criteria.

Findings
The study finds that for modern technology construction projects basic format of contractor’s selection attributes is not extensive. Henceforth, the most robust, comprehensive and precise assessment is required for such modern technology construction projects. Consequently, four inimitable sets of evaluation criteria groups are designed keeping in view the growing demands of public projects around the globe.

Research limitations/implications
The research work added a novel contribution in this research area which is in quest of resolutions from the past three decades. This research opens the novel avenues in the future in terms of designing the evaluation criteria while keeping the project demands and scope in mind.

Social implications
The research is a blueprint for the construction organizations and other authorities especially to those agencies involved in the modern construction technology projects. This eye-opening work will further stimulate the clients to focus on not only the designing phase but also the execution part of such advanced construction projects which turn in the successful project outcome.

Originality/value
The larger number of past studies addressed so for from the last couple of decades is very useful to a certain extend for instance for small to medium-sized traditional construction projects. This research delineates the future to call upon the most alarming future issues and consequences of selecting the traditional contractors for their advanced projects. Being premier research in this realm, the study filled the gap of evaluating the contractors inimitably compared to what was practiced in the past.
Where are the higher education institutions from knowledge protection: a systematic review
Authors: Alghail Adnan , Abbas Mohammed , Yao Liu 
Published: March 2021

Purpose
Knowledge protection (KP) is one of the main knowledge management (KM) processes that aim to protect the organization’s knowledge from any inside and outside force leakage. In higher education institutions (HEIs), KP is rarely being discussed and covered in contrast to knowledge sharing (KS) in terms of its determinants. The purpose of this paper is to provide a deep analysis of previous research articles from 1980 to 2019 and examine the associated institutional factors on KP determinants within HEIs as a research objective.

Design/methodology/approach
The preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis was a well-established approach for analyzing the systematic literature review methodology. Several articles were published over the past decades collected from 5 different databases, but after the screening, 101 articles were reviewed and only 22 articles were relevant to the research objective.

Findings
The findings indicated that KP is under academic research topic in KM and has received minimal attention in HEIs compared to KS, which has been frequently studied in HEIs. The literature categorized KP determinants into four areas: technological, organizational structure, behavioral and ethics and organizational culture. It will open the door for academics to investigate further into the factors, theories and models of KP in general and HEIs from a particular perspective.

Practical implications
As evident from the paper finds, with few pieces of literature covered in this topic, HEIs have to protect the knowledge from any illegal usage or any expert’s knowledge loss after leaving the institutions. This study can help university leaders to understand how the different KP determinants can maximize KP without affecting the KS and develop the KP phenomenon for a strategic fit to enhance their institutions’ safe knowledge usage.

Originality/value
This is the first research of its type which has extensively examined the literature on KP related to HEIs. Also, this paper provides theoretical and practical insights through understanding the determinants that affect KP practices among academic staff.
Development of a prediction model of treatment response in patients with cutaneous arteritis: Insights from a cohort of 33 patients

Published: March 2021

AbstractCutaneous arteritis (CA) is necrotizing vasculitis invading the small‐ to medium‐sized arteries of the skin. The majority of patients can be favorably managed by low‐ to medium‐dose systemic corticosteroids (prednisolone, <0.5 mg/kg/day) or other oral medications such as non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs, dapsone, and azathioprine. Meanwhile, some patients require more intensive therapy including high‐dose systemic corticosteroids (prednisolone, ≥0.5 mg/kg/day), i.v. immunoglobulin, and i.v. cyclophosphamide therapy. Although predicting such treatment response among CA patients is critical in clinical decision‐making, prediction rules have not yet been established. Herein, we retrospectively reviewed 33 patients regularly visiting our clinic to reveal predictive factors of their treatment response. Clinical data were collected from electronic medical records. Association between each factor and treatment response was examined by logistic regression analysis. Progression‐free time was calculated by Kaplan–Meier’s method and analyzed by log–rank test and Cox progression hazard model. Potential predictive factors were selected, given 1 point for each, and integrated into a classification model. Discrimination of the model was examined by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. In total, 33 CA patients were enrolled in our study. Of these, 11 patients required intensive therapy, classified as treatment non‐responders. Logistic analyses revealed that treatment response was significantly associated with male sex, presence of skin ulcers, and elevated serum levels of C‐reactive protein at the initial work‐up. Kaplan–Meier analyses also demonstrated that those factors are predictive of progression‐free time. The area under the ROC curve of our classification model was 0.92 (95% confidence interval, 0.83–1.00), which classified non‐responders from the others with a sensitivity of 90.9% and specificity of 81.8% at the cut‐off point of 2 or more. Collectively, treatment response of CA could be predictable by a combination of sex, presence of skin ulcers, and serum levels of C‐reactive protein.
The effect of pH and NaCl on the diafiltration performance of camel milk
Authors: Kashaninejad Morteza , Razavi Seyed M A 
Published: March 2021

This study aimed to investigate the effect of pH levels (5.8, 6.3 and 6.8) and NaCl concentrations (0, 75 and 150 mM) on the camel milk diafiltration performance in terms of pseudo‐steady‐state permeate flux, total fouling resistance and compositions of retentate (protein, lactose, ash, total solids and 11 minerals). The results showed that the camel milk diafiltration performance can be enhanced by controlling the pH and NaCl concentrations. In this research, the optimum ultrafiltration performance conditions with the lowest fouling, lactose and ash, and the highest flux and protein were pH 6.6 and 110 mM NaCl.
The impact of health‐related supports in senior housing on ambulance transfers and visits to emergency departments: The Right Care, Right Place, Right Time Project
Authors: Nadash Pamela , Cohen Marc A. , Tavares Jane , Miller Edward Alan 
Published: March 2021

AbstractObjectiveTo test the impact of placing a wellness team (nurse and social worker) in senior housing on ambulance transfers and visits to emergency departments over 18 months.Data sources/study settingIntervention sites included seven Boston‐area buildings, with five buildings at comparable settings acting as controls. Data derive from building‐level ambulance data from emergency responders; building‐level Medicare claims data on emergency department utilization; and individual‐level baseline assessment data from participants in the intervention (n = 353) and control (n = 208) sites.Study designWe used a pre/postdifference in difference quasi‐experimental design applying several analytic methods. The preintervention period was January 2016‐March 2017, while the intervention period was July 2017‐December 2018.Data collection/extraction methodsEmergency responders provided aggregate transfer data on a daily basis for intervention and control buildings; the Quality Improvement Organization provided quarterly aggregate data on emergency department visit rates; and assessment data came from a modified Vitalize 360 assessment and coaching tool.Principal findingsThe study found an 18.2% statistically significant decline in ambulance transfers in intervention buildings, with greater declines in buildings that had fewer services available at baseline, compared to other intervention sites. Analysis of Medicare claims data, adjusted for the proportion of residents over 75 per building, found fewer visits to emergency departments in intervention buildings.ConclusionsHealth‐related supports in senior housing sites can be effective in reducing emergency transfers and visits to emergency departments.
The biogeography of group sizes in humpback dolphins (Sousa spp.)
Authors: LIU Mingming , LIN Mingli , LUSSEAU David , LI Songhai 
Published: March 2021

AbstractHumpback dolphins (Sousa spp.) are obligate shallow‐water and resident species, and they typically live in fission–fusion societies composed of small‐sized groups with changeable membership. However, we have scant knowledge of their behavioral ecology, starting with potential factors influencing inter‐population variability of their group sizes. Here, we compiled a new global dataset of humpback dolphin group sizes based on 150 published records. Our data indicated an inter‐specific consistency of group‐living strategy among the 4 species in the Sousa genus, as these species preferred living in small‐sized groups with a mean size of mostly no more than 10, a minimum size of single individual or small pairs, and a maximum size of several tens or ≈100. In addition, we clearly showed the geographic variations in group sizes of humpback dolphins at a global scale. We found that the geographic variations in humpback dolphin group sizes were primarily associated with the latitude, sea surface temperature, and abundance. To conclude, our findings provide insights into social dynamics and socioecological trade‐offs of humpback dolphins, and help better understand how these resident animals adapted to their shallow‐water habitats from the perspectives of biogeography and socioecology.
