Lubrication characteristics of the worn slipper in the slipper-swashplate pair
Authors: Wang Haiji , Shi Guanglin 
Published: September 2021

Purpose
This paper proposes the lubrication characteristics of the worn slipper in the slipper–swashplate pair. The mathematical analysis of lubrication characteristics of slipper with the measured surface roughness distribution is introduced. Based on the results from the test rig, it carries out the result compassion in different operating conditions.

Design/methodology/approach
This paper introduces the measured surface roughness distribution of new and used slippers and generates the oil film thickness distribution with it. An average flow Reynolds equation of the pressure distribution is introduced too. The experimental results are carried out on a novel adjustable oil film thickness test rig.

Findings
The surface roughness of the worn slipper enlarges the reacting force and torque only if the oil film thickness is small. When the ratio of oil film thickness to the root mean square of surface roughness is much smaller than 3, the influence of it on torque is obvious.

Originality/value
Different surface roughness of worn slipper proposed in this paper has an influence on the lubrication characteristics. As the slipper is worn after a period of use, the changed lubrication characteristics should be considered in the slipper design.
Owner CEO narcissism, international entrepreneurial orientation and post-entry speed of internationalization: an empirical study of exporting SMEs from China
Authors: Li Xiaoxuan , Wang Yue , Yang Miles M. , Tang Yanzhao 
Published: September 2021

PurposeThis study explores the impact of owner chief executive officers' (CEO) narcissism on the exporting small to medium-sized enterprises' (SMEs) decision-making on the international market expansion speed after their initial entry. Specifically, the authors use the mechanism of firms' international entrepreneurial orientation (IEO) to examine how owner CEO narcissism may influence SMEs' post-entry speed of internationalization (PSI), both directly and indirectly.Design/methodology/approachTo test the hypotheses, the authors draw on data from a two-wave questionnaire and on archival export data from 291 Chinese exporting SMEs in three municipalities and 17 provinces from 2019 to 2020.FindingsThe results support the theoretical predictions that owner CEO narcissism shapes exporting SMEs' decisions on PSI, both directly and indirectly, through the mediation of firm-level IEO.Originality/valueThe study extends emerging research on the role of CEO narcissism in the upper echelons literature into the international marketing (IM) context. It also offers new insights into what drives exporting SMEs' IM decision-making from a psychological microfoundations perspective. Furthermore, the authors theoretically establish and empirically demonstrate the key role of a firm's IEO as a mediator to complement the existing literature's focus on the direct influence of CEO narcissism on firms' internationalization decisions.
A hybrid approach for identifying and prioritizing critical success factors in technology transfer projects (case study: diesel locomotive manufacturing)
Authors: Mohammadi Navid , Heidary Dahooie Jalil , Khajevand Mohamadreza 
Published: September 2021

Purpose
With the rapid advancement of technology, companies use new technologies to produce their products and services to maintain a competitive advantage. As companies alone cannot research and develop their technologies, they should use knowledge sources outside the organization that may exist throughout the world; hence, organizations need technology transfer. Because the success rate of technology transfer projects is low, the need to accurately assess and investigate the critical success factors of technology transfer projects is felt. In this regard, this study aims to identify and prioritize the critical success factors in technology transfer projects.

Design/methodology/approach
In this research, 56 critical success factor (CSF) were extracted from the context of the articles and were adjusted using experts’ opinions in different phases, as well as the fuzzy-Delphi approach. Finally, 15 factors were categorized in the form of steps of the technology transfer model: STAGE-GATE. In the next step, the set of criteria needed to prioritize CFSs was extracted from the literature and finalized with the help of the experts. Then, how each of the CSF influences the identified criteria was scored according to the organization’s export opinions. Finally, the priority of each key success factor was calculated using the additive ratio assessment (ARAS) method.

Findings
The results obtained for prioritization of the critical success factors show that experience in technology transfer in the transferee company, the existence of experienced technology transfer managers, sufficient organizational infrastructure and documenting project problems, achievements and experiences are four critical success factors of the technology transfer projects. Considering the long-term and short-term specific goals of the technology transfer process and the choice of technology in line with the company’s commercial strategy are also the critical success factors with the next priorities.

Originality/value
The combination of ARAS and step-wise weight assessment ratio analysis methods for identifying and prioritizing managerial decisions in the high-tech industries is a value of this research. Also, a combination of novel multi-attribute decision-making methods by the older framework of new product development is another contribution of this research.
The impact of inequality on mental illness: thematic analysis on clinical notes
Authors: Brenisin Kristina , Akinwande Elizabeth , Trumm Aile , Breen Kieran 
Published: September 2021

Purpose
The concept of inequality can be described as not being treated equally to everyone else in society. While previous studies have explored the concept of inequality and its impact on mental illness, these have been primarily quantitative. The details of experiences and potential impacts of inequalities by patients prior to admission into secure care have not been investigated comprehensively using a qualitative approach, which will identify individualised factors that may contribute to the development of mental ill-health. This study aims to explore whether those with multiple disadvantages are at greater risk of developing mental illness.

Design/methodology/approach
A qualitative study of patients’ clinical notes upon admission to a secure in-patient facility was conducted using a thematic analytical approach to investigate the key inequalities reported by patients with mental health problems. The topic of inequality was examined by assessing the clinical notes of 21 patients who were under treatment at the time of the study.

Findings
The majority of patients experienced multiple inequalities which impacted negatively on their mental health status. Three main themes that were identified were – a disrupted living environment, disturbed childhood and the importance of support. The thematic analysis has shown that the majority of the patients were exposed to numerous societal disadvantages in association with challenging life events in their early years and these have impacted significantly on their subsequent well-being.

Practical implications
When assessing the background to mental illness, it is important to gain a deep understanding of many inequalities that patients have faced prior to them developing their condition and, in particular, how these have combined to initiate the clinical manifestation. The study highlights the importance of raising awareness of how being treated unfairly, whether based on protected or non-protected characteristics, can contribute towards people becoming disadvantaged in society and ultimately making them more vulnerable to the development of mental health difficulties. Results of the study may inform the future use of inequalities as an integral component in the development of trauma-informed care.

Originality/value
This is the first study, to the authors’ knowledge, to consider intersectionality and admission to mental health units by adopting qualitative approach, specifically by reviewing patients’ clinical notes.
Chromolithographed history: brands’ trade cards and the co-construction of the French “roman national” (1900s-1930s)
Authors: Galluzzo Anthony 
Published: September 2021

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to study how several brands like Poulain, Liebig and Guérin have helped to disseminate the French roman national through their chromolithographs at the beginning of the 20th century. By doing so, the paper highlights the participation of brands in the co-construction of the French roman national, a historical narrative that articulates state-supported collective memories.

Design/methodology/approach
A total of 1,106 historical trade cards have been collected and analyzed. Historical studies of the roman national have been used as secondary sources to aid in the interpretation of the motifs conveyed in those chromolithographs.

Findings
Chromolithographic images produced by various brands at the beginning of the 20th century contributed to the roman national. They provide an ethnocentric, patriotic and linear view of history but are also crossed by political fault lines, opposing secular and Catholic visions of history.

Originality/value
The chromolithographs produced and disseminated by companies have so far only been analyzed as promotional tools, aimed at popularizing brands and stores. By studying roman national motifs, this paper helps us understand what role businesses have played in building other narratives and forging a national spirit.
“Racing” to the IBOR transition finish line
Authors: Forrester J. Paul , Miller Mary Jo N. 
Published: September 2021

Purpose
Summarize and review the key developments during the first three-quarters of 2021 relating to transition of the London InterBank Offered Rate (LIBOR) to alternative risk-free rates, in accordance with the guidance of global regulators and market participants.

Design/methodology/approach
Outlines and explains four key events to date during 2021 that are instrumental to the success of LIBOR transition, including the ISDA 2020 IBOR Protocol and Supplement, the 5 March 2021 announcements by ICE Benchmark Administration and the Financial Conduct Authority, the transition of interdealer swap conventions from LIBOR to SOFR, and the ARRC endorsement of the CME Group SOFR term rate.

Findings
The global adherence to the ISDA Protocol and Supplement, the successful launch of “SOFR First” and other “RFR First” swaps convention transitions, and the ARRC’s endorsement of CME’s SOFR term rate have given the market the clarity and tools that it needs to complete the transition away from LIBOR by the deadlines fixed by the 5 March 2021 benchmark transition event.

Practical implications
It now is clear that market participants globally have the resources to, and must, move to adopt alternative reference rates and related operational systems and other infrastructure to cease origination of new LIBOR-linked contracts after 31 December 2021. The ARRC’s endorsement of the SOFR term rate for business loans and related derivatives and securitizations is a critical positive development for the structured finance market.

Originality/value
Expert analysis and guidance from experienced finance lawyers.
Strategic transformation tosustilience: learning from COVID-19
Authors: Grant John , Wunder Thomas 
Published: September 2021

PurposeThe authors seek to stimulate and strengthen learning for both institutional and corporate leadership to transform society toward sustainability and resilience. The authors use sustainability in the broader socioecological sense, rather than meaning merely financial survival. Based upon experiences by various parties in dealing with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) or (C-19) during 2020 and into 2021, we are all driven to ask, “Which lessons shall we learn?”Design/methodology/approachBased upon a brief review of environmental and management literature, the authors compare experiences with C-19 and those of socio-ecological sustainability to-date and distill both sources for optimism as well as pessimism in the face of technical and socio-political challenges.FindingsHistorical experiences are not particularly encouraging, but there are many opportunities for great improvements if institutional and corporate leaders choose to learn from both C-19 experiences and earlier efforts toward sustainability.Practical implicationsProcrastination by major industrialized economies in not taking major positive actions to control and reduce carbon pollution and other environmental damage is leading to human crises–hunger and thirst followed by migration, conflicts and healthcare system collapses. Organizational executives need to develop flexibility and embrace precautionary principles regarding many stakeholders if humanity is going to have a good chance of flourishing in the future.Originality/valueThe authors adapt the “wedding cake” model of Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs) and their relationships to the concept of “dynamic materiality” in both an organizational as well as a macro perspective. In addition, the authors introduce the wordsustilienceto describe an organization's combined ability to achieve “sustainability” through relatively stable conditions as well as the “resilience” to rebound after major external shocks.

Emerging insights into the immunological aspects of keloids
Authors: Yu Yangyiyi , Wu Haijing , Zhang Qing , Ogawa Rei , Fu Siqi 
Published: September 2021

AbstractA special kind of scar, keloid, sometimes grows huge, disturbing patients in different ways. We discussed the pathogenesis of keloids and found researches about fibroblasts and collagen disorders, with little emphasis on immunity. Coupled with few effective treatments in keloid at present, we have focused on the immunological mechanisms of keloids with an aim to unravel some new therapeutic approaches in the future. In this review, the immunological processes are separately illustrated by the classification of different immune cells. In addition, we also discuss possible reasons for the repeated recurrence of keloids, the phenomenon of cell talks, and inflammation‐related signal pathways involved in the pathogenesis of keloids.
Kawasaki disease in adolescence and adulthood: Report of four cases
Authors: Sakai Hiroyuki , Minami‐Hori Masako , Shimamura Tomoe , Kanno Kyoko 
Published: September 2021

AbstractKawasaki disease (KD) in adolescence and adulthood is often underrecognized, because KD predominantly affects infants and young children below the age of 5 years. We report four cases of KD in patients 16–32 years of age. The first department that the patients visited was the Department of Otolaryngology, Obstetrics, or General Internal Medicine. Since KD almost always develops as cutaneous and mucosal manifestations, dermatologists have a particularly significant role in diagnosing KD in adolescents and adults. KD should be kept in mind for febrile patients of any age group presenting with exanthem.
Experimentally decomposing phytoplankton community change into ecological and evolutionary contributions

Published: September 2021

Abstract

Shifts in microbial communities and their functioning in response to environmental change result from contemporary interspecific and intraspecific diversity changes. Interspecific changes are driven by ecological shifts in species composition, while intraspecific changes are here assumed to be dominated by evolutionary shifts in genotype frequency. Quantifying the relative contributions of interspecific and intraspecific diversity shifts to community change thus addresses the essential, yet understudied question as to how important ecological and evolutionary contributions are to total community changes. This debate is to date practically constrained by (a) a lack of studies integrating across organizational levels and (b) a mismatch between data requirements of existing partitioning metrics and the feasibility to collect such data, especially in microscopic organisms like phytoplankton.

We experimentally assessed the relative ecological and evolutionary contributions to total phytoplankton community changes using a new design and validated its functionality by comparisons to established partitioning metrics. We used a community of coexisting Emiliania huxleyi and Chaetoceros affinis with initially nine genotypes each. First, we exposed the community to elevated CO2 concentration for 80 days (~50 generations) to induce interspecific and intraspecific diversity changes and a total abundance change. Second, we independently manipulated the induced interspecific and intraspecific diversity changes in an assay to quantify the corresponding ecological and evolutionary contributions to the total change. Third, we applied existing partitioning metrics to our experimental data and compared the outcomes.

Total phytoplankton abundance declined to one‐fifth in the high CO2 exposed community compared to ambient conditions. Consistently across all applied partitioning metrics, the abundance decline could predominantly be explained by ecological shifts and to a low extent by evolutionary changes.

We discuss potential consequences of the observed community changes on ecosystem functioning. Furthermore, we explain that the low evolutionary contributions likely resulted of intraspecific diversity changes that occurred irrespectively of CO2. We discuss how the assay could be upscaled to more realistic settings, including more species and drivers. Overall, the presented calculations of eco‐evolutionary contributions to phytoplankton community changes constitute another important step towards understanding future phytoplankton shifts, and eco‐evolutionary dynamics in general.

Who takes the hit? Gender differences in employment outcomes after disasters
Authors: Wong Po Yin 
Published: September 2021

AbstractWe estimate the individual labor market outcomes in Indonesia using historical data to isolate the plausibly exogenous variation in local labor market conditions due to unexpected natural hazards. We find that men substitute labor away when there are more unanticipated disasters while women work more. These gender differences in employment elasticities are heterogeneous by land ownership and education. Results imply that policies targeting women, including more flexible workplace arrangements and incentives to finishing secondary school, may be necessary to allow women to substitute away from work when the gains from participation are low.

Published: September 2021

AbstractAimTo evaluate the cognitive function in dialysis patients over 60 years old and identify the contributing factors.MethodsA group of elderly dialysis patients in the Department of Nephrology, Pan'an People's Hospital between March 2015 and June 2018 were chosen as the subjects for this study. Patients were divided into two groups, those with cognitive impairment and those with normal cognitive function. Results of their Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scores, Controlled Oral Word Association Test (COWAT), Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale Digit Span subtest (WDMS), and Stanford Diagnostic Math Test (SDMT) were reviewed and analyzed.ResultsAmong the 110 elderly dialysis patients, 75 patients (68.18%) showed different levels of damage to their cognitive function. Their assessment scores on MoCA (total), MoCA subtests: visuospatial/executive, naming, attention, language, delayed recall, abstraction and orientation, COWAT (total), COWAT1, COWAT2, COWAT3, WMDS‐Backward, and SDMT are significantly lower than patients with normal cognitive abilities (p < 0.05). Further analysis showed that the highest percentage (72.00%) of patients had impairment with visuospatial/executive function; and, of the 75 cognitive impaired patients, 37.33% showed cognitive damage in two MoCA subtests simultaneously. Patients with and without cognitive impairment showed a significant (p < 0.05) difference on factors including age, education level, employment status, financial situation, dialysis vintage, serum albumin, and hemoglobin.ConclusionElderly patients on dialysis have a higher risk of becoming cognitive impaired. The cognitive impairment in elderly dialysis patients was significantly associated with age, dialysis vintage, and levels of serum albumin and hemoglobin.
