Authors: Yang Ying , Yang Biao , Nguyen Hung , Onofrei George 
Published: December 2024

PurposeData mining has been well-applied by maintenance service providers in identifying data patterns and supporting decision-making. However, when applying data mining for analytics-driven maintenance, maintenance service providers often adopt data mining with unstructured “trial-and-error” approaches. In response, we have followed design science to develop a comprehensive approach to diagnosing the problems with the existing data mining processes model for analytics-driven maintenance service.Design/methodology/approachThis study conducted an in-depth case study with Siemens in the UK for data collection in order to apply a two-cycle build-and-evaluate design process. Based on the literature, the preliminary model is built. It is evaluated through the case company in the first cycle. In the second cycle, the model is refined based on the comments from the case company and then re-evaluated from both business management and information technology perspectives to ensure the applicability of the designed model in a real business environment.FindingsFirstly, this study identifies three main shortcomings in the existing data mining process models for analytics-driven maintenance. Secondly, this study develops the “Gear-Wheel Model”, with a customer-oriented cycle, a project planning cycle and a machine comprehension cycle, to overcome all these shortcomings simultaneously and provide improvement solutions. Thirdly, this study highlighted that the data mining processes for analytics-driven maintenance service need interactions from different functional departments and supports of successive data collection.Originality/valueThe study expands data mining analysis beyond a single business function to include interactions with other internal functions and external customers. It contributes to existing knowledge by focusing on the managerial aspects of data mining and integrating maintenance service providers with their business customers.

Published: December 2024

PurposeThe aim of this research is to examine the moderating impact of financial development (FD) on the relationship between remittance inflows and economic growth in 82 developing countries.Design/methodology/approachThis research utilized dynamic panel data estimation, specifically the system generalized method of moment (GMM), on a panel data set comprised of 82 developing economies from 2000 to 2022.FindingsThe findings indicate that the interaction of remittances and FD proxies by size and depth creates a substitute effect to reduce economic growth. In contrast, the interaction of remittances and FD proxy by efficiency creates complementarity by attracting remittances that accelerate economic growth. The robustness of the findings is further checked across upper- and lower-middle-income countries, respectively.Research limitations/implicationsThis study assists policymakers in attracting remittance inflows through FD and spending them in sustainable, productive ways to boost economic growth in developing economies.Social implicationsThe policymakers should have interactive remittances–FD policies to improve not only economic growth but also the social welfare of the developing economies.Originality/valueThis work contributes significantly to the underexplored literature on the moderating impact of FD on the relationship between remittance inflows and economic growth in the developing countries context. This research utilizes maximum proxies of FD that not only examine the remittance but also investigate how FD various proxies shape the relationship between remittances and economic growth.

Published: December 2024

PurposeThe purpose of the paper is to identify the necessary transformations required to evolve entrepreneurial ecosystems (EEs) into sustainable entrepreneurial ecosystems (SEEs) and to explore the primary challenges involved. By addressing these aspects the study establishes a foundation for future research directions.Design/methodology/approachThe paper adopts a conceptual analysis based on the semi-systematic literature review of the concepts of EEs and SEEs.FindingsAn SEE intentionally addresses all three dimensions of sustainability—social, ecological and economic. This requires, on the one hand, a genuine will and effort from individual actors to increase their sustainability, and, on the other, an establishment of systemic conditions that will make this transformation easier and allow for a fair distribution of its costs.Originality/valueThe paper bridges the research concerning limited studies on SEEs by presenting a model that delineates the conditions for the development of SEE and identifies the requisite changes necessary to foster sustainability within the EE. Furthermore, the paper outlines potential avenues for future research to explore the conceptual advancement and practical implementation of the SEE concept.

Budget Variance Analysis Case: Contrasting Excel with Tableau*
Authors: Nikitkov Alexey 
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTThis case not only familiarizes students with data analytics but also demonstrates its practical application. It presents a scenario of an electronic components company, equips students with budgetary and financial performance information, and challenges them to prepare a visual budgetary variance analysis for a board meeting. This hands‐on exercise, conducted first in Excel and then in Tableau, enhances students' analytics skills. The learning tasks include creating formulas that depend on multiple worksheets in Excel, interpreting data results, and importing data into Tableau. Students will establish correct relations between imported tables; create formulas and new calculated fields; filter and format data; construct graphs; create workbooks, dashboards, and stories; publish graphical analyses on the Tableau cloud server; and distribute the presentation via a hyperlink. The case was tested with Master of Accountancy students in an Advanced Information Systems class and received high student evaluation scores. It is recommended for use in an undergraduate or graduate accounting or business program after students conceptualize the budgetary variance analysis.

AbstractBackgroundDimethandrolone undecanoate (DMAU) is under development as a single agent hormonal male contraceptive. DMAU is a prodrug hydrolyzed by esterase(s) to the active metabolite dimethandrolone (DMA) which has dual androgenic and progestogenic actions. Phase 1 clinical trial results show DMAU to be well‐tolerated as an oral contraceptive in healthy men; however, delivery of DMAU as a long‐acting injectable rather than a daily oral formulation would provide user compliance benefits and address oral bioavailability concerns.ObjectiveTo assess the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and long‐acting contraceptive potential of DMAU in male non‐human primates (NHP) when delivered as an injectable or oral formulation.Materials and methodsDMAU was administered to cynomolgus macaques orally for 9 months or as five weekly intramuscular (IM) injections and to rhesus macaques as a single IM injection. Evaluations of safety, fertility indicators, and serum levels of DMAU and DMA were followed > 2 years post‐dose.ResultsRepeat dose oral and IM administrations were well‐tolerated with no significant toxicological findings. Dramatic reductions in serum testosterone concentration occurred within days of administration followed by sustained suppression of additional fertility indicators (e.g., serum inhibin B, sperm count, and testicular spermatogenesis). Slight body weight increases and reductions in testes weight also occurred. Repeat DMAU injections resulted in DMA serum concentrations above the lower limit of quantification (1 ng/mL) for > 500 days. DMAU PK parameters increased with increasing IM dose, while dose dependence was not seen for serum DMA concentrations suggesting a depot effect with a reservoir of non‐circulating prodrug remaining at the injection site which gets slowly hydrolyzed to DMA and absorbed into circulation. Testosterone levels and spermatogenesis returned by the end of the recovery period.ConclusionsNonclinical safety, PK, and pharmacodynamic data in male NHP demonstrate the safe, well‐tolerated, long‐acting, and reversible contraceptive potential of injectable DMAU.

AbstractAimWe aimed to describe treatment trajectories, detransition and mortality rate among children and adolescents referred to the Norwegian National Center for Gender Incongruence (NCGI).MethodsThe cohort included all 1258 persons under 18 years at referral to the NCGI from 2000 to 2020. Trajectories were registered until end of 2023.ResultsIn total, 861/1258 (68.4%) were assigned female gender at birth (AFAB). Mean age at referral was 14.4 years. Puberty suppression with gonadotropin‐releasing hormone agonists (GnRHa) was initiated among 135/1258 (10.7%), significantly more persons assigned male gender at birth (AMAB) than AFAB (p < 0.001). Gender‐affirming hormonal treatment (GAHT) was initiated in 783/1258 (62.2%). The continuation rate from GnRHa to GAHT was 97%. Discharge rate from NCGI without gender‐affirming medical treatment among those who attended at least one appointment, was 264/1198 (22.0%). Eighteen AFAB detransitioned after initiated GAHT, eleven due to a cessation of transgender identity. Mortality rate in the cohort until end of 2023 was 11/1258 (0.9%).ConclusionDifferent trajectories including medical pathways and assessments without gender‐affirming treatment were observed. GAHT was initiated in 783/1258 (62.2%), including eighteen AFAB detransitioning after testosterone treatment. There was a high continuation rate from GnRHa to GAHT. Various trajectories highlights the need for long‐term follow‐up in care.

AbstractAimTo investigate liver biochemistry in infants screened for biliary atresia (BA) at the time of hepatobiliary scintigraphy (HS) and to evaluate the effect of change in threshold for HS.MethodsInfants born from 2010 to 2021, who underwent HS <6 months postpartum for BA, were included and data sourced from electronic medical records. The change in threshold in 2018 from ≥20 (and/or if conjugated bilirubin exceeds 20% of total bilirubin) to ≥17 μM (regardless of total bilirubin) was evaluated.ResultsIn the cohort of 635 infants, 48 had BA, 247 had AATD, and the remaining 343 were categorised as ‘other’. After the threshold adjustment, HS timing was unaffected (p = 0.27), but the annual HS rate rose from 39 to 87, yet evaluations following the new guideline only accounted for 12%. All liver parameters were elevated in the BA group compared with the additional groups (p < 0.001). Amongst the 104 patients with non‐excretory HS, gamma‐glutamyl transferase (p < 0.001) and alanine aminotransferase (p = 0.002) remained elevated for BA. The lowest conjugated bilirubin measured in BA children was 36 μM.ConclusionAfter threshold change, HS use increased without earlier BA diagnostics, but most were not due to the new guideline. Alanine aminotransferase and gamma‐glutamyl transferase should be considered in BA diagnostics.

AbstractAimsThe aim of this study was to characterize the risk of death in older adults co‐prescribed low‐dose methotrexate and TMP‐SMX vs. low‐dose methotrexate and a cephalosporin.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective, population‐based, new‐user cohort study in Ontario, Canada (April 1, 2002–August 1, 2022) using linked administrative healthcare data. Older adults taking low‐dose methotrexate who were newly co‐prescribed TMP‐SMX (n = 1602) were matched 1:1 with those who were newly co‐prescribed a cephalosporin. The primary outcome was death within 30 days of the antibiotic dispensing date. Secondary outcomes included all‐cause hospitalization, a hospital visit with myelosuppression and a hospitalization with persistent infection defined as the main diagnosis. Propensity score matching was used to balance comparison groups on indicators of baseline health. Risk ratios (RR) were obtained using modified Poisson regression.ResultsIn a propensity‐score matched cohort of 3204 adults taking low‐dose methotrexate, the 30‐day risk of death was similar in adults co‐prescribed TMP‐SMX vs. a cephalosporin (14/1602 [0.87%] vs. 15/1602 [0.94%]; RR 0.93 [95% CI 0.45–1.93]). The risk of all‐cause hospitalization (RR 1.49 [95% CI 1.13–1.97]) and infection (RR 2.78 [95% CI 1.30–5.95]) was higher in adults treated with TMP‐SMX than those treated with cephalosporins.ConclusionsIn older adults taking low‐dose methotrexate, co‐prescription of TMP‐SMX vs. a cephalosporin was not associated with a higher 30‐day risk of death but was associated with a higher 30‐day risk of all‐cause hospitalization and hospital admission with persistent infection. If verified, these risks should be balanced against the benefits of co‐prescribing TMP‐SMX and low‐dose methotrexate.

ABSTRACTObjectiveThis university‐based retrospective study aimed to assess the performance of the implant disease risk assessment (IDRA) in predicting peri‐implantitis.Material and MethodsPatients with implants loaded for at least 1 year were included. Peri‐implantitis development was the outcome, while the IDRA score and its eight vectors were the predictors. The IDRA score was calculated using an online tool. Data were analyzed using Cox proportional hazards models and ROC curve (AUC).ResultsAmong 480 implants in 235 patients, 7.9% of implants and 9.4% of patients developed peri‐implantitis. Implants at high risk for the “number of sites with PD ≥ 5 mm” vector had an increased risk (HR = 9.8, p = 0.004) of peri‐implantitis, compared to those at low risk for this parameter. Implants at moderate (HR = 4.8, p = 0.04) and high (HR = 10.0, p = 0.01) risk for the “distance from the restorative margin (RM) to bone crest (BC)” vector exhibited a higher risk of peri‐implantitis than implants at low risk for this parameter. The IDRA tool demonstrated an AUC of 0.66 (sensitivity = 0.80; specificity = 0.24) when estimated at implant level and an AUC of 0.61 (sensitivity = 0.91; specificity = 0.32) when calculated at patient level. The mixed‐effects Cox model did not reveal a significant association between the overall IDRA score and the development of peri‐implantitis (HR = 7.2, p = 0.18).ConclusionIDRA demonstrates good sensitivity but low specificity and suboptimal discriminatory capacity in predicting peri‐implantitis. The “number of sites with PD ≥ 5 mm” and “distance from RM to BC” emerged as the most effective predictors for peri‐implantitis.

ABSTRACTAimsTo investigate the association between intraoperative hypotension and newly developed cerebral infarction in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) undergoing aneurysm clipping or coiling.MethodsThe patients who had emergent clipping/coiling procedures for aSAH under general anesthesia were included. The major exposure was mean arterial pressure (MAP) below different absolute or relative thresholds characterized by area under curve (AUC), duration, and time‐weighted average (TWA) value. The outcome was newly developed cerebral infarction. The associations between MAP and newly developed cerebral infarction were adjusted by other risk factors. Odds ratio and 95% confidence interval were used to present the statistical difference.ResultsA total of 1205 patients were included in the analysis. Of these, 260 patients (21.6%) developed new cerebral infarctions assessed by computed tomography. Patients with newly developed cerebral infarction had higher incidence of modified Fisher Scale (mFS) score 3 to 4 (80.0 vs. 69.1%, p < 0.01) and longer duration of anesthesia (4.3 vs. 3.9 h, p < 0.01). In the multivariate model, the AUC‐MAP (adjusted odds ratio: 1.00, 95% CI: 1.000 to 1.000, p = 0.02) and the TWA‐MAP (adjusted odds ratio: 1.01, 95% CI: 1.001 to 1.024, p = 0.04) of 20% decrease from baseline were closely associated with the newly developed cerebral infarction.ConclusionsMean arterial pressure decreased 20% from baseline value were independently associated with postoperative newly developed cerebral infarction in patients with aSAH.

Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTIntroductionIntegrating digital dental technology into undergraduate curricula can better prepare dental technology students for a digitally driven workplace. However, students' perspectives on this education are sparse in the literature. This qualitative study explored dental technology students' perceptions of a digital dental technology curriculum.Materials and MethodsAn online questionnaire was administered to third‐year and fourth‐year students, as well as recent graduates from the West China School of Stomatology. It comprised three sections: (1) demographic data, (2) perceptions of learning effectiveness and its impact, and (3) suggestions for curriculum improvements. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and a chi‐squared test.ResultsSixty‐nine valid responses were collected, yielding an effective response rate of 90.79%. Over 80% of respondents thought the courses beneficial for professional learning, career selection and practical work. However, 35% of third‐year students reported being unable to complete digital design independently upon finishing the courses, and 62.50% of fourth‐year students also lacked confidence in this area. While 95% of third‐year students and 87.5% of fourth‐year students intended to pursue digital‐related positions, only 33.33% of employed graduates were engaged in relevant professions, indicating that the demands for digital competence in the workplace significantly exceeded the curriculum content.ConclusionThis study found that most students had a positive perception of the digital dental technology curriculum. However, a gap remains between curriculum content and professional practice demands. Further research and curriculum shifts driven by skill application and work scenarios are required to support the digital transformation of dental technology education and dentistry.

Published: December 2024

AbstractBackgroundWith the increasing adoption of digital health, health informatics and information management (HIIM) professionals are more essential than ever before. This paper explores the difficulties encountered when trying to classify and track the HIIM workforce internationally.MethodsA historic document analysis method to explore how the International Standard of Classifications (ISCO) and the available national standards from countries using an alternative classification represent the HIIM workforce.ResultsThere is little recognition of the HIIM workforce in the ISCO and national standards. Where an entry did exist, more than 90% were in a non‐health major group. At the major group level, 16.7% (7/42) of entries specified an administrative term, 11.9% (5/42) a professional term, 9.5% (4/42) a technician term and 61.9% (26) including both professional and technician as the description.DiscussionMost country‐level classification systems classified HIIM as a technical occupation rather than a professional occupation. The term ‘digital health’ did not appear in any classification reviewed.ConclusionAs the requirement for formal training increases globally in the HIIM occupation, classification systems will need to include or reclassify HIIM to reflect it as a professional occupation, with a clear structure and requiring specific education and specialised skills.
