Published: December 2021

PurposeThe reliability prediction is among the most important objectives for achieving overall system performance, and this prediction carried out by anticipating system performance degradation. In this context, the purpose of this research paper is to development of methodology for the photovoltaic (PV) modules' reliability prediction taking into account their future operating context.Design/methodology/approachThe proposed methodology is framed by dependability methods, in this regard, two methods of dysfunctional analysis were used, the Failure Mode and Effects Criticality Analysis (FMECA) method is carried out for identification of the degradation modes, and the Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) method is used for identification the causes of PV modules degradation and the parameters influencing its degradation. Then, based on these parameters, accelerated tests have been used to predict the reliability of PV modules.FindingsThe application of the proposed methodology on PWX 500 PV modules' in different regions of Algeria makes it possible to predict its reliability, taking into account the future constraints on its operation. In this case, the temperature and relative humidity vary from one region to another was chosen as constraints. The results obtained from the different regions confirms the reliability provided by the designer of the Saharan cities Biskra, In Salah, Tamanraset, and affirms this value for the two Mediterranean cities of Oran and Algiers.Originality/valueThe proposed methodology is developed for the reliability prediction of the PV modules taking into account their future operating context and, the choice of different regions confirms or disproves the reliability provided by the designer of the PV modules studied. This application confirms their performance within the framework of the reliability prediction.
Deming’s tampering revisited: definition and future research agenda
Authors: Smeds Magdalena 
Published: December 2021

PurposeHow do organisations know which problems are worthy of their attention? Despite good intentions, many attempts to solve problems fail. One reason for this failure might be because of attempts to solve non-problems or to solve problems with insufficient means, a concept proposed by Deming as tampering. The purpose of this paper is to suggest a definition of tampering, outline what is currently known about possible practical implications of tampering and to suggest how to extend this knowledge by proposing an agenda for future research.Design/methodology/approachTo fulfil the purpose, a narrative literature review was conducted.FindingsThrough this review, common aspects of what constitutes tampering are identified and the following definition is proposed: Tampering is a response to a perceived problem in the form of an action that is not directed at the fundamental cause of the problem, which leads to a deterioration of the process or the process output. In addition, recommendations are generated regarding how tampering manifests itself in practice and why tampering occurs. These recommendations could be studied in future research.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first paper that suggests a revitalisation of tampering. The results presented in this paper form the basis for continued studies on how tampering in organisations can be understood, managed and prevented.

Published: December 2021

Purpose
This study aims to assess the accessibility of women to health-care facilities in the rural areas with a view to unties possible recommendation of enhancing its service delivery. It provides an insight into the levels of satisfaction of the services provided by conventional health-care providers in the area where the majority in the developing countries concentrated. The study unravels the reasons for the low patronage of regular health-care facilities to boost unscientific ones by rural women.

Design/methodology/approach
The study relies on extensive field work conducted in the study area mainly rural nature. data was sourced by questionnaire, mainly administered on the women in the area and field observation. Data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics.

Findings
The paper provides information on the low socio-economic attributes of rural women. It is further showed that medical facilities and personnel were not relatively available and performed in health-care centres to the satisfaction of the users. Poor roads, poor human relation, low quality of services, inadequate medical personnel and drug shortage hindrance to women accessing appropriate health-care facilities in the rural areas. Rural women, therefore, opted for self-medication folk medicine, disguising and spiritual remedies. Health-care facilities suffered poor patronage as a result of these obstacles The study recommended proper overhauling of health-care facilities.

Originality/value
The paper builds a relationship on the reasons for health-care facilities neglect in the rural area in developing countries and revealed unscientific means by which health care needs are realised rural women.

The iodine knowledge of pregnant women in an endemic goiter area: a cross-sectional study
Authors: Aslan Çin Nazlı Nur , Özçelik Ayşe Özfer 
Published: December 2021

Purpose
This study aims to determine the level of knowledge about iodine nutrition during pregnancy among pregnant women living in the area of Turkey where goiter is endemic.

Design/methodology/approach
A total of 150 pregnant women aged between 19 and 45 years, registered at the Gynaecology and Obstetrics Clinic in Trabzon were recruited. The data was collected through a voluntary face-to-face survey with pregnant women. The questionnaire comprising questions determining the sociodemographic characteristics of the participants, data concerning any previous pregnancy, iodized salt consumption habits and knowledge about iodine.

Findings
Although 68% of the women knew that iodine deficiency can cause serious consequences during pregnancy, the remainder did not. The three main dietary sources of iodine in Turkey are fish, cow’s milk and table salt; of the women, 68%, 20% and 77.3%, respectively, correctly identified these as good sources. The more educated of the pregnant women had significantly higher knowledge scores (p < 0.001). However, age, trimester, parity and previous receipt of information about iodine and iodine knowledge scores made no significant differences.

Research limitations/implications
This study may not be generalizable for all pregnant women.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is the first pilot study to evaluate the level of knowledge regarding iodine among pregnant women in Turkey.
Institutional investor management of Australian healthcare property assets as a pandemic-proof asset class
Authors: Marzuki Muhammad Jufri , Newell Graeme 
Published: December 2021

PurposeAs the prolonged effect of the COVID-19 pandemic has materially impacted investment returns significantly, it is more crucial than ever for institutional investors to redefine their property portfolios using assets with better investment management potential and meaningful diversification benefits. The “alternative asset revolution” is gaining traction in the property investment space internationally among institutional investors due to the shifting investment attitudes towards the alternative property sectors. Australia's $205bn healthcare property sector is at the forefront of this revolution due to its societal significance, as well as its attractive investment qualities. This paper investigates the institutional investor management of the Australian healthcare property sector via both the direct and listed channels and empirically analyses its investment attributes.Design/methodology/approachUsing the unique Morgan Stanley Capital International/Property Council of Australia quarterly data set for Australian direct healthcare property over 2006–2020, the risk-adjusted performance and portfolio diversification potential direct healthcare property and listed healthcare were assessed. A constrained mean-variance portfolio optimisation framework was used to develop a six-asset portfolio scenario to analyse the portfolio added-value benefits of both direct healthcare property and listed healthcare in a mixed-asset investment strategy. A similar set of analysis was performed using the post-global financial crisis (GFC) quarterly time series of 2009–2020 to investigate the healthcare asset class' performance dynamics in the post-GFC investment timeframe.FindingsThe results indicate that direct healthcare property and listed healthcare offer two key advantages for institutional investors in managing their property portfolios: (1) a stable yet superior risk-adjusted performance and (2) significant portfolio diversification potential in managing their property portfolios. Importantly, both direct healthcare property and listed healthcare provided valuable contributions in strengthening an investment portfolio's performance. The post-GFC sub-period analysis revealed a consistent conclusion regarding the healthcare asset class's performance attributes.Originality/valueThis is the first research that provides an independent empirical examination of the strategic importance of Australian healthcare property as a maturing alternative property sector that can serve both investment and environmental, social and governance goals of investors. This research presents a positive investment prognosis for the Australian healthcare property sector to achieve its institutionalised status as a mainstream asset class of the future.
Can gold hedge against inflation in the UAE? A nonlinear ARDL analysis in the presence of structural breaks
Authors: Al-Nassar Nassar S. 
Published: December 2021

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to explore the role of gold as a hedge against inflation in the case of the United Arab Emirates.Design/methodology/approachThe study utilizes monthly data on the local sharia-compliant spot gold contract traded on the Dubai Gold and Commodity Exchange (DGCX) and the corresponding consumer price index series over the period December 2015 to January 2021. The econometric approach employed by the study involves a unit root testing procedure that allows the timing of significant breaks to be estimated. A cointegration analysis is then conducted using a nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag (NARDL) model, taking into consideration the presence of structural breaks in addition to short- and long-run asymmetries.FindingsThe results reveal that consumer and gold prices are cointegrated, which implies that investing in gold can hedge against inflation in the long run. No sufficient evidence, nonetheless, is found in support of the ability of gold to serve as a hedge against inflation in the short run.Originality/valueThe findings have several important policy implications for policymakers and investors that are further discussed in the study.
Whiteness from the top down: systemic change as antiracist action in LIS
Authors: Jennings Alyssa , Kinzer Kristine 
Published: December 2021

PurposeThe purpose of the paper is two-fold. The first is to inform the readers of the racist origins of libraries in America. Readers will learn about historic instances of systemic racism in libraries and those that persist today. The second purpose is to give readers examples of antiracist actions they can take on an individual level, in concert with library administration, and on the institutional level.Design/methodology/approachThis paper gives an overview of systemic racism in librarianship. Part I outlines the history of libraries and their institutional oppression origins in America. Part II reviews some of the current racial issues in Libraries and Information Science (LIS). Part III gives the author's viewpoint on how to incorporate antiracist action within libraries and how to decenter whiteness at the national level.FindingsThe authors found that libraries were established on institutional oppression and systemic racism, which continue to this day to center whiteness and disadvantage BIPOC. Having said that, now is the time to make changes, decenter whiteness and remove systemic barriers through antiracist actions. These actions will help increase the number of BIPOC working in libraries and improve the retention and promotion of those BIPOC too. If the American Library Association (ALA) heeds this call to action, Critical Race Theory (CRT) will become part of the Master's of Library and Information Science (MLIS), BIPOC will be better funded and supported, and the credentialing stigma will be removed.Originality/valueThis article highlights concrete action that should be taken beyond individual bias awareness and into systemic changes. It advocates for more critical awareness and daily antiracist action within the LIS field.
Externalisation in family‐based treatment of anorexia nervosa: The therapist's experience
Authors: Lonergan Katie , Whyte Aileen , Ryan Christian 
Published: December 2021

AbstractFamily‐based treatment (FBT) is an evidence‐based treatment for adolescent eating disorders that incorporates many principles from family therapy. It uses the externalisation of anorexic thoughts and behaviours to separate the person from the anorexia nervosa (AN) through language and metaphor. Little is known about how clinicians understand, conceptualise and support families to externalise. Semi‐structured interviews conducted with FBT‐trained clinicians working in child and adolescent mental health services were analysed using thematic analysis. Three themes emerged: the clinician’s use of externalisation, the impact on family functioning and the barriers to externalisation. Externalisation can support a young person’s recovery from AN when used in conjunction with other therapeutic skills. Clinicians should be aware of potential barriers to the implementation of externalisation, such as problem awareness, age and duration of illness.
Practitioner points

Clinicians value externalisation as an important therapeutic technique within the FBT model, while acknowledging that the ‘ED as illness’ metaphor can challenge their own beliefs.

Externalisation can improve family functioning, family communication and reducing conflict within relationships in families with AN.

Lack of insight into the AN can present as a barrier to externalisation for a young person.
Entrepreneurial Adaptation in Emerging Markets: Strategic Entrepreneurial Choices, Adaptive Capabilities and Firm Performance
Authors: Basu Shubhabrata , Munjal Surender , Budhwar Pawan , Misra Pradeep 
Published: December 2021

AbstractSustaining entrepreneurship in resource‐constrained and institutionally weak emerging markets (EMs) poses theoretical and practical challenges. We address some of these challenges by adopting a middle‐range theoretical approach and proposing the concept of ‘entrepreneurial adaptation’ (EA). Complementing the concept of entrepreneurial mindset and subsuming those of strategic orientation and adaptive capabilities, we posit that EA consists of a set of cognitively derived, action‐oriented strategic entrepreneurial choices that foster certain dimensions of adaptive capabilities which in turn sustain entrepreneurship in EMs. We empirically test our hypotheses on a proprietary survey‐based dataset of 219 Indian firms and contribute to the extant literature by proposing a model of EA, besides suggesting an alternative bridge to the two disciplines of entrepreneurship and strategy.
Dynamic visualisation of million‐tip trees: The OneZoom project
Authors: Wong Yan , Rosindell James 
Published: December 2021

Abstract

The complete tree of life is now available, but methods to visualise it are still needed to meet needs in research, teaching and science communication. Dynamic visualisation of million‐tip trees requires many challenges in data synthesis, data handling and computer graphics to be overcome.

Our approach is to automate data processing, synthesise data from a wide range of available sources, then to feed these data to a client‐side visualisation engine in parts. We develop a way to store the whole tree topology locally in a highly compressed form, then dynamically populate metadata such as text and images as the user explores.

The result is a seamless and smooth way to explore the complete tree of life, including images and metadata, even on relatively old mobile devices.

The underlying methods developed have applications that transcend tree of life visualisation. For the whole complete tree, we describe automated ID mappings between well known resources without resorting to taxonomic name resolution, automated methods to collate sets of public domain representative images for higher taxa, and an index to measure public interest of individual species.

The visualisation layout and the client user interface are both abstracted components of the codebase enabling other zoomable tree layouts to be swapped in, and supporting multiple applications including exhibition kiosks and digital art.

After 10 years of work, our tree of life explorer is now broadly complete, it has attracted nearly 1.5 million online users, and is backed by a novel long‐term sustainability plan. We conclude our description of the OneZoom project by suggesting the next challenges that need to be solved in this field: extinct species and guided tours around the tree.

SummaryBird feathers are the product of interactions between natural and artificial selection. Feather‐related traits are important for chicken selection and breeding. Frizzle feather is characterized by the abnormally development of feathers in chickens. In the current study, frizzle feather characteristics were observed in a local breed called Xiushui Yellow Chicken in Jiangxi, China. To determine the molecular mechanisms that underlie frizzle feather in Xiushui Yellow Chicken, four populations of three breeds (Xiushui Yellow Chicken with frizzle feathers, Xiushui Yellow Chicken with normal feathers, Guangfeng White‐Ear Yellow Chicken, and Ningdu Yellow Chicken) were selected for whole‐genome resequencing. Using a comparative genome strategy and genome‐wide association study, a missense mutation (g.5281494A>G) and a 15‐bp deletion (g.5285437‐5285451delGATGCCGGCAGGACG) in KRT75L4 were identified as candidate mutations associated with frizzle feather in Xiushui Yellow Chicken. Based on genotyping performed in a large Xiushui Yellow Chicken population, the g.5285437‐5285451delGATGCCGGCAGGACG mutation in KRT75L4 was confirmed as the putative causative mutation of frizzle feather. These results deepen the understanding of the molecular mechanisms responsible for frizzle feather, as well as facilitating the molecular detection and selection of the feather phenotype in Xiushui Yellow Chickens.

Published: December 2021

AbstractBackgroundThe diagnosis of purpuric mycosis fungoides (PMF) is often challenging to be clinically differentiated from inflammatory diseases such as pigmented purpuric dermatosis (PPD). Dermoscopy as a non‐invasive method can be employed for the visualisation of features invisible to the naked eye.ObjectivesThis study aimed to survey the dermoscopic findings of PMF in comparison with PPD.MethodsForty‐one patients with an established diagnosis of PMF (n = 28) and PPD (n = 13) were prospectively recruited. Dermoscopic images were taken by FotoFinder Medicam 1000 (FotoFinder Systems GmbH, Bad Birnbach, Germany).ResultsCharacteristic dermoscopic patterns consisting of fine short linear vessels (35.7%, P = 0.017) and spermatozoa‐like structures (50%, P = 0.014) were found to be significantly more common in PMF lesions, while PPD lesions were typified by erythematous globules (76.9%, P = 0.01), in the background colour of dull red (61.5%, P = 0.01) and reticular pigmentation (61.5%, P = 0.044).ConclusionsThis study showed the usefulness of dermoscopy for the diagnosis of PMF and PPD cases. Studies with long‐term follow‐up are needed to affirm the value of these dermoscopic patterns in the differentiation between the two entities.
Treatment intensification with FLAG‐Ida may improve disease control in younger patients with secondary acute myeloid leukaemia: long‐term follow up of the MRC AML15 trial
Authors: Russell Nigel , Hills Robert , Kjeldsen Lars , Dennis Mike , Burnett Alan 
Published: December 2021

SummarySecondary acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) has a poor outcome following “3 + 7‐like” chemotherapy. While CPX‐351 has been approved for patients aged 60–75, the optimal treatment, or comparator, in younger patients is less clear. The MRC AML15 trial randomised younger patients between daunorubicin and ara‐C (DA) and DA plus etoposide (ADE) and ADE and fludarabine, cytarabine, idarubicin, and granulocyte colony‐stimulating factor (FLAG‐Ida) induction. Overall results failed to show an overall survival benefit for FLAG‐Ida despite a reduction in relapse, the outcome of patients <60 years with secondary AML compared to DA/ADE was not reported. In this group (n = 115) response to induction was not different [complete remission/complete remission with incomplete haematological response 81% vs. 79%), however, 5‐year overall survival and relapse free survival was superior for FLAG‐Ida [37% vs. 27%, stratified hazard ratio (HR) 0·45 (0·33–0·90) P = 0·02 and 41% vs. 22%; stratified HR 0·54 (0·31–0·96) P = 0·04] respectively, suggesting that younger patients with secondary AML may benefit from treatment intensification and that “3 + 7” may not be the optimal comparator in trials for this group of patients.
