The futures of the University of Tehran using causal layered analysis
Authors: Baradaran Ghahfarokhi Mohammadali , Mohaghar Ali , Saghafi Fatemeh 
Published: October 2018

Purpose
Higher education and universities have faced unprecedented and ubiquitous changes. The University of Tehran or “UT,” as the leading university in Iran, is not immune to these changes. The purposes of this study is to investigate the current situation and future of the UT and gain insights and possible responses to changes that suit its strengths and potential to progress in an increasingly competitive, complex environment with uncertainties. It identifies deep fundamental underpinnings of the issue and highlights them for policymakers to formulate strategies and future vision of the UT.

Design/methodology/approach
Causal layered analysis (CLA) was applied as a framework and the data collected from different sources such as literature reviews, content analysis of rules, regulations and master plans of the university and coded interviews of four different groups of university stakeholders were analyzed. The current system of UT, as well as hidden beliefs, that maintains traditional perceptions about university was mapped. Next, by applying a new recursive process and reverse CLA order, new CLA layers extracted through an expert panel, the layers of CLA based on new metaphors to envision future of UT were backcasted.

Findings
The results from CLA layers including litany, system, worldview and metaphor about the current statue of UT show disinterest and inertia against changes, conservative, behind the times and traditional perceptions, and indicate that the UT system is mismatched to the needs of society and stakeholders in the future. The authors articulated alternative perspectives deconstructed from other worldviews so there are new narratives that reframe the issues at hand. The results show that to survive in this fast-paced revolution and competition in higher education, UT should develop scenarios and formulate new strategies.

Research limitations/implications
The authors had limited access to a wide range of stakeholders. As the UT is a very big university with so many faculties and departments, to access a pool of experts and top policymakers who were so busy and did not have time to interview inside and outside of university was very hard for the research team. The authors also had limitation to access the internal enactments and decisions of the trustee board of the UT and the financial balance sheets of the university.

Originality/value
In this paper, by mixing different methods of futures studies, the authors have shown how to move forward while understanding the perspectives of stakeholders about the future of UT by a new recursive process and reverse CLA order. A supplementary phase was added to improve CLA and to validate the method and results, which were ignored in previous studies.
Exploring the customer orientation of Spanish pharmacy websites
Authors: Domínguez-Falcón Carmen , Verano-Tacoronte Domingo , Suárez-Fuentes Marta 
Published: October 2018

Purpose
The strong regulation of the Spanish pharmaceutical sector encourages pharmacies to modify their business model, giving the customer a more relevant role by integrating 2.0 tools. However, the study of the implementation of these tools is still quite limited, especially in terms of a customer-oriented web page design. This paper aims to analyze the online presence of Spanish community pharmacies by studying the profile of their web pages to classify them by their degree of customer orientation.

Design/methodology/approach
In total, 710 community pharmacies were analyzed, of which 160 had Web pages. Using items drawn from the literature, content analysis was performed to evaluate the presence of these items on the web pages. Then, after analyzing the scores on the items, a cluster analysis was conducted to classify the pharmacies according to the degree of development of their online customer orientation strategy.

Findings
The number of pharmacies with a web page is quite low. The development of these websites is limited, and they have a more informational than relational role. The statistical analysis allows to classify the pharmacies in four groups according to their level of development

Practical implications
Pharmacists should make incremental use of their websites to facilitate real two-way communication with customers and other stakeholders to maintain a relationship with them by having incorporated the Web 2.0 and social media (SM) platforms.

Originality/value
This study analyses, from a marketing perspective, the degree of Web 2.0 adoption and the characteristics of the websites, in terms of aiding communication and interaction with customers in the Spanish pharmaceutical sector.

Measuring impact of organizational culture on creativity in higher education
Authors: Singh Reetesh K. , Chaudhary Priya 
Published: October 2018

PurposeOver the past few decades, Indian education system has witnessed a paradigm shift, leading to the replacement of the traditional education system. The traditional education system focused on the holistic development of the student, with a focus on enhancing the student creativity and capability to innovate. This shift leads one to ask whether the modern education system still nurtures creativity. This paper aims to examine the impact of organizational culture in colleges on the creativity of students in India.Design/methodology/approachA questionnaire survey was administered to 174 students from public and private colleges. The relationship between creativity and locus of control of students was examined and discussed.FindingsThe results demonstrated that the organizational culture did not impact the creativity of students in India. The Indian higher education system will have to first overcome other systemic issues and bottlenecks to encourage creativity among students.Research limitations/implicationsThe self-report questionnaires used in the study can at best assess aptitudes or tendencies but may not be the most appropriate method to capture actual events or dynamic processes. Self-report questionnaires must be supported and corroborated by recording actual study behavior to establish validity.Originality/valueThe findings of this study are useful for practitioners and policymakers to developing a culture conducive to creativity in students.

Authors: Hicken Bret , Parry Kimber 
Published: October 2018

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of rural older veterans in the US and discuss how the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is increasing access to health care for older veterans in rural areas.

Design/methodology/approach
This is a descriptive paper summarizing population and program data about rural veterans.

Findings
VA provides a variety of health care services and benefits for older veterans to support health, independence, and quality of life. With the creation of the Veterans Health Administration Office of Rural Health (ORH) in 2006, the needs of rural veterans, who are on average older than urban veterans, are receiving greater attention and support. ORH and VA have implemented several programs to specifically improve access to health care for rural veterans and to improve quality of care for older veterans in rural areas.

Originality/value
This paper is one of the first to describe how VA is addressing the health care needs of older, rural veterans.

Published: October 2018

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to empirically examine the association between transformational leadership and employee acceptance to change while establishing the mediating effects of innovative behaviour and the moderating effect of the use of information technology (IT) on this association.Design/methodology/approachIn total, 378 employees of ten banks from Uttarakhand, India, participated in a questionnaire-based survey. The proposed hypotheses and the proposed conceptual model were tested using macro process (Hayes, 2013).FindingsThe results indicated that there exists a positive association between transformational leadership and employee acceptance to change. Furthermore, it was found that this association was mediated by employee innovative behaviour and moderated by the use of IT.Practical implicationsThe findings of this study will help managers to comprehend the significance of the innovative behaviour of employees in moulding their acceptance towards change. This paper should encourage bank managers to perceive the significance of the working practice and the infusion of IT. Furthermore, this study accentuates the significance of an effective leadership style, i.e. transformational leadership, as an essential phenomenon to positively impinge on employee acceptance to change in a service-oriented industry, namely banking.Originality/valueThe present study enriches the extant research on transformational leadership and employee acceptance to change by demonstrating the use of IT and innovative behaviour as vital and the important factors that influence the level of persuasion that transformational leadership has on employee acceptance to change.
Role of ambidexterity and learning capability in firm performance
Authors: Dhir Sanjay , Dhir Swati 
Published: October 2018

PurposeThis study aims to comprehend the ambidexterity and organizational learning capability construct in the Indian E-commerce industry context.Design/methodology/approachThe survey method was adopted for this study. A survey was circulated among the personnel working in E-commerce companies in India. The focus was on people working in managerial positions and had at least three years of experience in the same industry.FindingsThis paper investigates the link between two dimensions of ambidexterity, i.e., exploration, exploitation and learning capability in firm performance. The paper also establishes the moderating effect of the learning capability on the two dimensions of ambidexterity and firm’s performance.Research/limitations/implicationsOur focus was to cover most of the E-commerce companies, yet to generalize the research the analysis needs to be conducted with even more E-commerce companies. Although we took extraordinary care to gather data from multiple resources and discarded the data that was incomplete or was from lower level employees yet, we need a larger sample to establish the causal claim of our model.Practical/implicationsWe reason that learning capability of a firm impacts the two dimensions and firms should focus both on external and internal knowledge to benefit from the ambidexterity efforts.Social/implicationsLearning capability influences a firm’s performance and has managerial implications. The analysis’ results on the India based ecommerce companies differs from prior research done in more developed countries and other industries.Originality/valueNo prior research has been done from this perspective in the Indian context, and thus our work opens up new avenues for researchers to look at.Keywords Ambidexterity, Firm performance, Learning capability

AbstractA 34‐year‐old Japanese man presented with an indolent nodule on the right flank. Computed tomography of the chest and abdomen demonstrated a large nodule measuring 55 mm × 50 mm in the abdominal oblique muscle layer of the right flank, and several small nodules were seen in the muscle layer throughout the body and subcutaneous tissue of the lower abdomen. 18F‐fluorodeoxyglucose‐positron emission tomography/computed tomography revealed nodular lesions in the bilateral parotid glands, bilateral cervical lymph nodes and lower lobe of the right lung. Intermittently, ground‐glass shadows developed in the bilateral lungs. Histologically, sheet‐like nodules in the abdominal oblique muscle layer and parotid gland were composed of large polygonal cells with convoluted nuclei and ample eosinophilic cytoplasm. Several lymphocytes and considerable eosinophils were intermingled. Lung biopsy demonstrated an inflammatory infiltrate of lymphocytes and considerable eosinophils in the alveoli. Immunohistochemically, polygonal cells were positive for S100 protein and CD1a, but negative for langerin and BRAFV600E. Some cells were positive for CD68. Electron microscopy demonstrated histiocytic cells with phagosomes and interdigitating processes. However, no Birbeck granules were observed. Eosinophilia was seen in the peripheral blood. Multifocal nodules and ground‐glass shadows gradually diminished following systemic administration of oral prednisolone. We describe a case of indeterminate dendritic cell neoplasm with multifocal involvement of the muscle, subcutis, lymph node and parotid gland accompanied by chronic eosinophilic pneumonia that was successfully treated by systemic steroid therapy. Neither muscular nor parotid indeterminate dendritic cell neoplasms accompanied by eosinophilic pneumonia have been previously reported.

AbstractHair follicle stem cells (HFSC) are localized in the bulge region of the hair follicle and play a role in producing hair. Recently, it has been shown that the number ofHFSCdecreases with age, which is thought to be a cause of senile alopecia. Therefore, maintainingHFSCmay be key for the prevention of age‐related hair loss, but the regulatory mechanisms ofHFSCand the effects of aging on them are largely unknown. In general, stem cells are known to require regulatory factors in the pericellular microenvironment, termed the stem cell niche, to maintain their cell function. In this study, we focused on the extracellular matrix proteoglycan decorin (DCN) as a candidate factor for maintaining the humanHFSCniche. Gene expression analysis showed thatDCNwas highly expressed in the bulge region. We observed decreases inDCNexpression as well as the number ofKRT15‐positiveHFSCwith age.In vitroexperiments with human plucked hair‐derivedHFSCrevealed thatHFSClost their undifferentiated state with increasing passages, and prior to this change a decrease inDCNexpression was observed. Furthermore, knockdown ofDCNpromotedHFSCdifferentiation. In contrast, whenHFSCwere cultured onDCN‐coated plates, they showed an even more undifferentiated state. From these results, as a novel mechanism for maintainingHFSC, it was suggested thatDCNfunctions as a stem cell niche component, and that the deficit ofHFSCmaintenance caused by a reduction inDCNexpression could be a cause of age‐related hair loss.
Stretch‐free generalized normal moveout correction
Authors: Faccipieri Jorge H. , Coimbra Tiago A. , Bloot Rodrigo 
Published: October 2018

ABSTRACTThe effective application of normal moveout correction processes mainly depends on four factors: the chosen traveltime approximation, the stretching associated with the given traveltime, crossing events and phase changes, the last two being inherent to the seismic data. In this context, we conduct a quantitative analysis on stretching considering a general traveltime expression depending on half‐offset and midpoint coordinates. Through this analysis, we propose a mathematically proven procedure to eliminate stretching, which can be applied to any traveltime approximation. The proposed method is applied to synthetic and real data sets, considering different traveltime approximations and achieved complete elimination of stretching.
Does quorum sensing interference affect the fitness of bacterial pathogens in the real world?
Authors: Liu Yiying , Qin Qiwei , Defoirdt Tom 
Published: October 2018

SummaryMany bacterial pathogens rely on quorum sensing to control virulence gene expression. Based on numerous experiments conducted under well‐defined conditions, quorum sensing interference is considered as a promising strategy to tackle infections and thus might have the potential to (partially) replace antibiotics. Despite the promising results in well‐defined (artificial) laboratory experiments, there still is a lack of knowledge with respect to the impact of quorum sensing interference on the fitness of pathogens in more realistic scenarios, including interactions with a host, the external environment and complex microbial communities. In this article, we critically evaluate the current knowledge with respect to these three facets of the real world that can affect the fitness of quorum sensing bacterial pathogens. We argue that further research is needed in order to determine how these factors interplay with quorum sensing and to what extent they can influence the selective pressure that might be exerted by quorum sensing interference (and thus determine the risk of resistance development against quorum sensing interference). This kind of information is indispensable in order to optimize quorum sensing interference‐based therapeutic strategies.
Nitrogen chlorosis in unicellular cyanobacteria – a developmental program for surviving nitrogen deprivation
Authors: Forchhammer Karl , Schwarz Rakefet 
Published: October 2018

SummaryCyanobacteria evolved sophisticated mechanisms allowing them to cope with environmental depletion of combined nitrogen. Here, we describe progress in understanding the processes involved in acclimation of nondiazotrophic cyanobacteria to nitrogen shortage, known as nitrogen chlorosis. The process includes immediate metabolic changes and degradation of light harvesting complexes as well as long‐term acclimation responses. Consequently, quiescent cells substantially differing from vegetative cells are obtained. Thus, the process leading to these considerable metabolic and morphological changes is referred to as a developmental program. Current understanding of the relevant regulatory processes depicts an intricate mechanism involving modulation of transcription activators by proteinaceous interacting components, as well as by small metabolites reporting the energy status and carbon–nitrogen balance of the cell. In addition, we describe in detail the quiescent state characterizing cells under prolonged starvation and the process of recovery from this dormant chlorotic state. Accumulated data provide an in depth understanding of the mechanisms accompanying the cycling of cyanobacterial cells between vegetative growth, the quiescent‐state and the recovery program, allowing them to regain proliferative growth upon nutrient replenishment.
Rapidly mitigating antibiotic resistant risks in chicken manure by Hermetia illucens bioconversion with intestinal microflora

Published: October 2018

SummaryAntibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in animal manure are an environmental concern due to naturally occurring bacteria being exposed to these wastes and developing multidrug resistance. The bioconversion of manure with fly larvae is a promising alternative for recycling these wastes while attenuating ARGs. We investigated the impact of black soldier fly (BSF, Hermetia illucens) larval bioconversion of chicken manure on the persistence of associated ARGs. Compared with traditional composting or sterile larval treatments (by 48.4% or 88.7%), non‐sterile BSF larval treatments effectively reduced ARGs and integrin genes by 95.0% during 12 days, due to rapid decreases in concentrations of the genes and associated bacteria as they passed through the larval gut and were affected by intestinal microbes. After larval treatments, bacterial community composition differed significantly, with the percentage of Firmicutes possibly carrying ARGs reduced by 65.5% or more. On average, human pathogenic bacteria populations declined by 70.7%–92.9%, effectively mitigating risks of these bacteria carrying ARGs. Environmental pH, nitrogen content and antibiotic concentrations were closely related to both bacterial community composition and targeted gene attenuation in larval systems. Selective pressures of larval gut environments with intestinal microbes, larval bacteriostasis and reformulation of manure due to larval digestion contributed to ARG attenuation.
Rigvedic nú: Configurational Syntax, Semantics, and Poetics
Authors: Klein Jared S. 
Published: October 2018

AbstractThe Rigvedic particle nú (310x) appears most frequently in second position within the clause, which is normally equivalent to the pāda. Often, nú is displaced to third or fourth position by other clitic(‐like) elements with which it competes (most frequently íd, cid, and u), In a smaller group of passages, nú (nearly always lengthened to n) appears in initial position in the clause and pāda, where it represents a topicalization of time. The collocation n cid (usually also clause‐initial) with a few exceptions has the meaning ‘never’. Most likely, this usage has been extracted by ellipsis from the phrase *ná n cid ‘not even now’, where the scope of the scalar particle (cid ‘even’) entails all time past and present and, by pragmatic implicature, the future. In a few instances n cid has the value ‘even now’. Instances where nú appears in penultimate or final position within the clause and pāda most likely presuppose a clause‐final focus position. The chief remaining passages where nú cannot possess the meaning ‘now’ are those where it follows the interrogative pronoun ká‐. In such instances, nú possesses a cooperative interpersonal conversational value like English ‘now’ under the same circumstances.
