Modeling The Effect of Forest Fire and Deforestation on Mid-Sized Wild Cat (Felids) Occupancy in SE Asian Tropical Rainforest
Authors: Wibowo Andri 
Published: May 2021

AbstractFelids are mammal groups that also experiencing the effects of forest fire and deforestation rate. By using camera detection method, two felid species, Prionailurus bengalensis and Pardofelis marmorata, of tropical rainforests in SE Asia have been studied. The studied area was a rainforest in Sumatra that has experienced several forest fires with annual deforestation rates of 1.69%-2.89%. Occupancy model using Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) is in agreement that deforestation rate is the best explanatory covariate explaining the declining occupancy of those felid species. P. marmorata was known more sensitive to the both deforestation rate and forest fire frequency covariate effects since it has similar AIC values. While P. bengalensis was slightly affected by forest fires. Values of Area Under The Curve (AUC) of Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) were > 0.5 and these indicate adequate probability of forest fire effects on felid occupancy. Cut off value of occupancy of P. bengalensis was higher than P. marmorata. For P. bengalensis, the cut off value was 1.75 leading to a sensitivity and specificity of 62%. This is the threshold value for the prediction of numbers of P. bengalensis individual occurred where both sensitivity and specificity are maximized and as an effect of forest fire, and this can be used to classify areas as occupied by P. bengalensis.

Authors: Einwiller Sabine , Ruppel Christopher , Stranzl Julia 
Published: May 2021

PurposeBased on social exchange theory, the study examines the influence of informational and relational internal communication on cognitive and affective responses and job engagement during organizational crises caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.Design/methodology/approachData were collected by means of an online survey among people working in organizations with a minimum of 10 employees (N = 1,033) and analyzed using structural equation modeling.FindingsResults show that informational and relational communication as organizational resources have a significant but distinct influence on how employees support their employer during the crisis. While informational communication influences employees' acceptance of managerial decisions, relational communication exerts most influence on affective commitment, which is the strongest driver of job engagement.Research limitations/implicationsThe cross-sectional design, specific crisis situation and geographic location are limitations of the study.Practical implicationsDelivering relevant information to employees quickly and reliably is important. Yet, relationship-oriented communication that demonstrates appreciation and allows for participation has even stronger effects on job engagement, which is essential to mastering challenges arising from a crisis.Social implicationsDuring the COVID-19 pandemic, organizations demanded much from their employees. In exchange, organizations should provide the resources information, status and love (Foa and Foa, 1980) by means of internal crisis communication.Originality/valueThe study demonstrates the role of different types of internal communication during organizational crises used to convey organizational resources, and it highlights the mediating role of acceptance and commitment to enhance employees' engagement at work.

PurposeThis case study describes a community-based urgent care clinic in a general practitioner (GP) super clinic in South East Queensland.Design/methodology/approachThis retrospective chart audit describes patient demographic characteristics, types of presentations and management for Sundays in 2015.FindingsThe majority of patients (97%) did not require admission to hospital or office investigations (95%) and presented with one condition (94%). Of the presentations, 66.5% were represented by 30 conditions. Most patients received a prescription (57%), some were referred to the pathology laboratory (15%) and some were referred to radiology (12%). A majority (54%) of patients presented in the first three hours. Approximately half (51%) of patients presenting were aged under 25. More females (53%) presented than males. A majority (53%) lived in the same postcode as the clinic. The three most common office tests ordered were urinalysis, electrocardiogram (ECG) and urine pregnancy test. Some patients (19%) needed procedures, and only 3% were referred to hospital.Research limitations/implicationsThe study offers analysis of the client group that can be served by an urgent care clinic in a GP super clinic on a Sunday. The study provides an option for emergency department avoidance.Originality/valueDespite calls for more research into community-based urgent care clinics, little is known in Australia about what constitutes an urgent care clinic. The study proposes a classification system for walk-in presentations to an urgent care clinic, which is comparable to emergency department presentations.
Direct and indirect effects of customer financial condition in the acceptance of Islamic microfinance in a frontier market
Authors: Umar Umar Bello , Mas’ud Abdulsalam , Matazu Sadisu Abdulazeez 
Published: May 2021

Purpose
The study aims to identify a gap within the extant literature on the inadequacy of earlier extension of the theory of reasoned action (TRA) and theory of planned behavior (TPB) to accommodate the peculiarity of Muslims majority countries that experiencing poverty growth in modeling the factors influencing the acceptability of Islamic financial products and services. To address this gap, this study expands the aforementioned theories through the integration of customer financial condition through the analyzes of both direct and indirect effects.

Design/methodology/approach
The quantitative research design was deployed through data, which was collected from samples of microentrepreneurs within the agricultural sector of northwestern Nigeria. The data from this sample was analyzed through hierarchical regression analysis.

Findings
The findings confirmed significant direct effects of all the original TPB variables; attitude, subjective norms and perceived behavioral control on acceptance intention of Islamic microfinance. More pioneering, the study established a significant direct negative effect of customer financial condition on the acceptance of Islamic microfinance among agribusiness customers. It further established the indirect (moderating) effects of customer financial condition on the influence of subject norms and perceived behavioral control on acceptance intention of Islamic microfinance, however, such indirect effect was not established in relation to the influence of attitude.

Research limitations/implications
The findings implied that the providers of Islamic financial products and services should target Nigeria’s frontier market as a potential avenue for expanding their existing market share. More specifically, the agricultural sector of northwestern Nigeria could be given focus in such a marketing strategy. In terms of social impact, providing necessary finances to the agricultural sector will further enhance employment creation and reduce poverty in the northwestern region.

Originality/value
Despite several extensions of TRA and TPB in various settings, this could the first study which examined both direct and indirect effects of customer financial condition not only in relation to the acceptance of Islamic microfinance but also all other Islamic financial products and services.
Entropy analysis of Poiseuille nanofluid flow in a porous channel with slip and convective boundary conditions under magnetic field
Authors: Das S. , Chakraborty S. , Jana R. N. 
Published: May 2021

Purpose
This study aims to expose the flow phenomena and entropy generation during a; magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) Poiseuille flow of water-based nanofluids (NFs) in a porous channel subject to hydrodynamic slip and convective heating boundary conditions. The flow caused by the uniform pressure; gradient between infinite parallel plates is considered steady and fully developed. The nanoparticles; namely, copper, alumina and titanium oxide are taken with pure water as the base fluid. Viscous dissipation and Joule heating impacts are also incorporated in this investigation.

Design/methodology/approach
The reduced governing equations are solved analytically in closed form. The physical insights of noteworthy parameters on the important flow quantities are demonstrated through graphs and analyzed elaborately. The thermodynamic analysis is performed by calculating entropy generation; rate and Bejan number. A graphical comparison between solutions corresponding to NFs and regular fluid in the channel is also provided.

Findings
The analysis of the results divulges that entropy generation minimization can be achieved by an appropriate combination of the geometrical and physical parameters of thermomechanical systems. It is reported that ascent in magnetic parameter number declines the velocity profiles, while the inverse pattern is witnessed with augmentation in hydrodynamic slip parameters. The temperature dissemination declines with the growth of Biot numbers. It is perceived that the entropy generation rate lessens with an upgrade in magnetic parameter, whereas the reverse trend of Bejan number is perceived with expansion in magnetic parameter and Biot number. The important contribution of the result is that the entropy generation rate is controlled with an appropriate composition of thermo-physical parameter values. Moreover, in the presence of a magnetic field and suction/injection at the channel walls, the shear stresses at the channel walls are reduced about two times.

Practical implications
In various industrial applications, minimizing entropy generation plays a significant role. Miniaturization of entropy is the utilization of the energy of thermal devices such as micro heat exchangers, micromixers, micropumps and cooling microelectromechanical devices.

Originality/value
An attentive review of the literature discloses that quite a few studies have been conducted on entropy generation analysis of a fully developed MHD Poiseuille flow of NFs through a permeable channel subject to the velocity slip and convective heating conditions at the walls.

Abstract

An increasing number of studies have been examining the functional configuration of biological communities or ecosystems using biological traits.

Here, we investigated the temporal dynamics and resilience of the traits composition in Mediterranean fisheries landings over 31 years (1985–2015).

We transcribed the FAO Mediterranean landings dataset for 101 marine species into a dataset of 23 traits related to the life cycle, distribution, ecology and behaviour. Mediterranean mean Sea Surface Temperature (SST) was evaluated as a potential driver of the traits composition. Trait dynamics were evaluated both individually and holistically by developing an Integrated Traits Resilience Assessment (ITRA). ITRA is a variation of the Integrated Resilience Assessment (IRA), a method to infer resilience dynamics and build stability landscapes of complex natural systems.

Changes in landings trait dynamics were documented both for individual traits and for the entire traits ‘system’, and a relevant regime shift was detected in the second half of the 1990s. The traits system switched to higher optimal temperature, more summer spawning, shorter life span, smaller maximum size, shallower optimal depth and planktivorous diet. This shift was found to be a lagged discontinuous response to sea warming, which gradually eroded the resilience of the original state of the traits system, leading it into a new basin of attraction.

The inclusion of ecological/response traits (related to environmental preferences) in our analyses indicates potential mechanisms that explain the observed shift, while changes in functional/effect traits indicate potential impacts on ecosystem functioning. Our findings suggest that changes in the Mediterranean ecosystems are evidently larger than previously thought, with profound implications for the management of this highly impacted sea.

A methodological roadmap to quantify animal‐vectored spatial ecosystem subsidies

Published: May 2021

Abstract

Energy, nutrients and organisms move over landscapes, connecting ecosystems across space and time. Meta‐ecosystem theory investigates the emerging properties of local ecosystems coupled spatially by these movements of organisms and matter, by explicitly tracking exchanges of multiple substances across ecosystem borders. To date, meta‐ecosystem research has focused mostly on abiotic flows—neglecting biotic nutrient flows. However, recent work has indicated animals act as spatial nutrient vectors when they transport nutrients across landscapes in the form of excreta, egesta and their own bodies.

Partly due to its high level of abstraction, there are few empirical tests of meta‐ecosystem theory. Furthermore, while animals may be viewed as important mediators of ecosystem functions, better integration of tools is needed to develop predictive insights of their relative roles and impacts on diverse ecosystems. We present a methodological roadmap that explains how to do such integration by discussing how to combine insights from movement, foraging and ecosystem ecology to develop a coherent understanding of animal‐vectored nutrient transport on meta‐ecosystems processes.

We discuss how the slate of newly developed technologies and methods—tracking devices, mechanistic movement models, diet reconstruction techniques and remote sensing—that when integrated have the potential to advance the quantification of animal‐vectored nutrient flows and increase the predictive power of meta‐ecosystem theory.

We demonstrate that by integrating novel and established tools of animal ecology, ecosystem ecology and remote sensing, we can begin to identify and quantify animal‐mediated nutrient translocation by large animals. We also provide conceptual examples that show how our proposed integration of methodologies can help investigate ecosystem impacts of large animal movement. We conclude by describing practical advancements to understanding cross‐ecosystem contributions of animals on the move.

Understanding the mechanisms by which animals shape ecosystem dynamics is important for ongoing conservation, rewilding and restoration initiatives around the world, and for developing more accurate models of ecosystem nutrient budgets. Our roadmap will enable ecologists to better qualify and quantify animal‐mediated nutrient translocation for animals on the move.
Off the record: The invisibility work of doctors in a patient‐accessible electronic health record information service
Authors: Petersson Jesper , Backman Christel 
Published: May 2021

AbstractIn this article, we draw on Michael Lipsky's work on street‐level bureaucrats and discretion to analyse a real case setting comprising an interview study of 30 Swedish doctors regarding their experiences of changes in clinical work following patients being given access to medical records information online. We introduce the notion ofinvisibilityworkto capture how doctors exercise discretion topreservethe invisibility of their work, in contrast to the well‐established notion of invisible work, which denotes work made invisible by parties other than those performing it. We discuss three main forms of invisibility work in relation to records: omitting information, cryptic writing and parallel note writing. We argue that invisibility work is a way for doctors to resolve professional tensions arising from the political decision to provide patients with online access to record information. Although invisibility work is understood by doctors as a solution to government‐initiated visibility, we highlight how it can create difficulties for doctors concerning accountability towards patients, peers and authorities.
Honour, Memory and Lineage: Remembering the English Civil War through Funeral Memorials
Authors: KERRY CHERYL 
Published: May 2021

AbstractThe Act of Oblivion passed in 1660 was meant to signal how the fractured kingdom could heal after the Civil War. It aimed to ‘bury all seeds of future discords’ by wiping the slate clean, outlawing even ‘terms of distinction [and] … words of reproach any way tending to revive the memory of the late differences’. The act was created to draw a line under the past twenty years of civil war, regicide, and bitter religious, political and cultural divisions. But could an act of parliament so easily erase this traumatic past? The impact of the war on families and communities proved impossible to forget, and memories of loyalties to both monarchy and parliament enabled the civil war to continue through other means than the sword. Individuals and families used funeral memorials to tell stories of their part in the wars.

SummaryEgg internal quality traits are important traits related to egg production in poultry industry. To better understand the genetic architecture of egg internal quality traits in ducks, we performed genetic parameters estimates and a genome‐wide association study (GWAS). The phenotypic values of egg weight, yolk color, albumin height (AH), yolk weight, and Haugh unit (HU) were collected individually from 352 F2 laying ducks produced by reciprocal crosses between mallards and Pekin ducks, and their genotypes were assayed by whole genome re‐sequencing. The results showed that the AH and HU traits have a clear coefficient of variance, around 15% for both mallards and Pekin ducks. The pedigree‐based genetic parameters estimates rane from 0.26 to 0.71 for all eight egg quality traits, while the highest heritability was 0.71 for egg weight. The GWAS showed that a clear signal was associated with AH and HU traits. The locus zoom analysis and conditional GWAS helped to narrow the candidate region to ~5.8‐Mb spanning from 14.7 to 20.5 Mb on Chromosome 5, which harbored 111 candidate genes. MUC6 and LDLRAD3 were finally promised as the major candidate genes affecting albumen composition. Our data revealed the egg internal quality traits for the first time in ducks, which provides a theoretical basis and technological support for improving duck egg internal quality.
Looking under the surface: An analysis of iceberg orders in the U.S. agricultural futures markets
Authors: Shang Quanbiao , Serra Teresa , Garcia Philip , Mallory Mindy 
Published: May 2021

AbstractLike many exchanges the Chicago Mercantile Exchange allows traders to conceal part of their limit orders, known as a hidden‐limit order (HLO) or iceberg order. With HLOs, market participants have incomplete knowledge of the order book. To assess the effect of this lack of transparency in a period of highly volatile markets, we investigate the patterns and market impacts of HLOs in the U.S. corn and live cattle futures markets. Our conservative estimates indicate that HLOs represent more than 10% (20%) of the total volume in corn (live cattle) futures market. The findings show that the existence of HLOs improves market quality in multiple dimensions: driving trading volume while reducing market volatility and enhancing market liquidity. Our results are critical for regulators and exchanges as they are supportive of a degree of opacity. They are also indicative that market traders hide successfully, which can protect traders who have speed disadvantages in the era of fast trading.
Intracranial arteries of New Zealand rabbits; identification, three‐dimensional modelling, and morphometry by computed tomography angiography
Authors: Oktay Tuğba , Demiraslan Yasin 
Published: May 2021

SummaryThe aim of the study was to determine identification, three‐dimensional modelling, and morphometry of intracranial arteries in New Zealand Rabbit by using computed tomography angiography. A total of 20 adult New Zealand Rabbits from both sexes were used in the study. General anaesthesia procedure was followed before computed tomography angiography imaging. Rabbits were placed in a prone position for imaging. Computed tomography angiography imaging was performed by injecting contrast agent into vena auricularis marginalis of rabbits. Morphometric measurements of the specified points were taken by MIMICS program using the computed tomography angiography images acquired. Three‐dimensional intracranial artery model was prepared from the two‐dimensional images on the same program. Measurements were statistically compared in terms of sex and side. It was observed in the study that arteria basilaris was generated by bilateral arteria vertebralis at the basal level of medulla oblongata. In the study, a statistically significant difference was determined only in diameter values of arteria cerebri caudalis dextra et sinistra in both female and male rabbits. On the other hand, no statistically significant difference was determined with respect to the side. Consequently, we think that the data of the present study will contribute to further studies on cerebrovascular pathology, clinicians or researchers.

Published: May 2021

AbstractBackgroundThe coronavirus (COVID‐19) pandemic has affected the utilisation of emergency department (ED) services worldwide. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of COVID‐19‐related public health measures on orthopaedic presentations to a regional Australian hospital.MethodsA case–control study was performed at a regional trauma hospital in New South Wales (NSW), Australia. Data was collected prospectively from patients that required orthopaedic review in the period corresponding to a declaration of a global pandemic to the end of the NSW lockdown, and compared with retrospective data from the corresponding period in 2019. The five‐year average of orthopaedic presentations to ED during the study period were obtained for comparison. The primary outcomes were overall number of presentations, mechanism and anatomical location of injuries, operative versus non‐operative management and disposition.ResultsDuring the study period in 2020, presentations requiring orthopaedic review were significantly more frequent than 2019 (496 vs. 280, p < 0.0001), with more requiring admission in 2020 (p < 0.0001). The absolute number of patients managed operatively was higher (p = 0.0002) and significantly more patients were referred for community follow‐up (p < 0.0001). There was a 20% increase of consults in 2020 compared to the average number of referrals during the same period in the previous five years.ConclusionsContrary to other published literature, lockdown conditions imposed during the COVID‐19 pandemic resulted in a surprising 77% increase in orthopaedic presentations to this regional Australian hospital. These findings can be used to better direct resources, preparation and staff education in the current and for future pandemics.
