Technology-based business incubators
Authors: Miranda Maria Gabriela , Borges Renata 
Published: November 2018

PurposeTechnology-based incubators depend on high-level knowledge to constantly meet the demands of the market. Incubators offer a variety of specialized services to help startups increase the chances of crossing the valley of death. These services include infrastructure, access to a professional network of mentors and an intensive support of a consultant team to help with managerial and legal challenges. Therefore, it is critical to incubators to develop both highly skilled teams of consultants and social environment that facilitates communication. The purpose of this paper is to understand how innovation-oriented social networks created within technology-based incubators are shaped.Design/methodology/approachData were collected in five incubators participating connected to federal universities from the state of Minas Gerais. The network attributes collected in the survey were placed in a matrix form. The mapping and measurement of the relationships between individuals were developed using the Ucinet software. Ucinet enables the analysis of attributes (attitudes, behaviors and characteristics) characterized as relational (contacts, ties and relationships). The software also includes the Netdraw network visualization tool, which enables the creation of matrices and graphical network maps. The measurements of centrality, closeness and intermediation were analyzed to assess the intra-organizational social network.FindingsThe results indicate that although the flow of communication does not follow the formal hierarchy, the interaction between team members to spontaneously exchange ideas, information and experiences is rare. The workers are so concerned about their timely tasks, that they have few opportunities to exchange information and knowledge. The coordination is carried out by university professors, who also perform other tasks (e.g. teaching, research and administration activities) besides those related to the incubators. The results also suggest that in the technology-based incubators studied, besides dealing in an innovative environment, the distribution of tasks and responsibilities are still rigid and traditional.Originality/valueBy analyzing the degree of the relationship between team members, the proximity and the level of intermediation of co-workers, it is possible to see how the incubators workers interact, thereby identifying the flow of information. This study offers implications for theory and practice. To the theory, this study adds to the discussion of intra-organizational social network of technology-based companies in the Brazilian context. To practitioners, this research sheds light on the importance of the social network built within the organization to promote effective communication and knowledge sharing.
Encouraging the subsistence artisan entrepreneurship in handicraft and creative contexts
Authors: Ferreira Jéssica , Sousa Bruno Miguel , Gonçalves Francisco 
Published: November 2018

PurposeThis study aims to establish a relationship between creative tourism and experiences in the traditional handicrafts of Barcelos (Portugal). Based on a qualitative approach, it also aims at analyzing the failures and absences from the tourist market by creating new proposals and responses to the demand. The conceptual framework of this study develops three proposals: first, to present new concepts and opportunities for the tourism market; second, to establish a direct relationship between the local traditional handicrafts, creative tourism and experiences; and finally, to promote traditions that add value to the local development.Design/methodology/approachThis study uses an ethnographic case analysis research design to investigate the propositions (ten in-depth interviews with technicians and artisans in Barcelos, Portugal). The key constructs are drawn from empirical research among handicraftsmen in which data analysis was carried out based on a qualitative analysis.FindingsThe results suggest the experience, knowledge and importance of learning this dynamic in an entrepreneurship tourism perspective. Creative tourism and experiences are growing and strengthening the territories and consumer satisfaction in specific artisan, cultural and tourism entrepreneurship contexts.Research limitations/implicationsThis study fills a large gap in the territorial market, associating the knowledge of new concepts with the success of the tourism entrepreneurship. The findings provide solutions for helping handicraftsmen to improve their decision-making logic and increase the speed of market growth. There has been an increased emphasis on local and handmade goods that are linked to the culture and tourism of specific destinations.Originality/valueTourism managers and artisan entrepreneurs can use the outcome of this study to gain in-depth understanding of customer experiences (i.e. consumers of local handicrafts) and develop effective marketing strategies and further stage the operational environment that can maximize customers’ perceived experiential value.
Systems social marketing: a critical appraisal
Authors: Truong V. Dao , Saunders Stephen Graham , Dong X. Dam 
Published: November 2018

Purpose
Social marketing has gained widespread recognition as a means of motivating behaviour change in individuals for societal good. Many opinions have been shared regarding its potential to affect society or systems-wide change, leading to the macro-or systems social marketing (SSM) concepts and ideas. This paper aims to critically appraise the SSM literature, identify key features and highlight gaps for future research.

Design/methodology/approach
A search was conducted of peer-reviewed SSM articles published from 2000 to March 2018 inclusive. A number of online databases were mined, including but not limited to Google, Google Scholar, Scopus, PubMed, Cochrane and Medline. Key social marketing outlets (Social Marketing Quarterly and Journal of Social Marketing) were browsed manually. In total, 28 SSM articles were identified.

Findings
SSM adopts a dynamic systems thinking approach; it is an orientation, not a theory or model; it is multi-method; and it recognises that intervention can occur on multiple levels. Yet, greater attention should be given to the complexities of the systems context and the power structures and relations that exist between stakeholders. Significant issues also include stakeholder voice and participation, the use and reporting of theories and models, the measurement of long-term intervention outcomes and the undesirable impacts of SSM.

Originality/value
This paper identifies issues that need to be addressed if social marketing is to become a more system-oriented means to positively influence societal change. Implications for theoretical and practical development of the social marketing field are provided.
Corporate social responsibility information disclosure objective or not
Authors: Duan Zhao , He Yajuan , Zhong Yuan 
Published: November 2018

PurposeBased on the text mining tools, this paper aims to propose a new method to evaluate the subjectivity and objectivity of corporate social responsibility information disclosure.Design/methodology/approachThe authors build up a text subjectivity evaluation model of corporate social responsibility reports through meta-analysis; a text mining is conducted to all sample CSR reports released by Chinese listed companies untill March 2016[1]. Furthermore, the authors made an overall and quantitative analysis of the situation which contained changing state, characteristics and abnormal value on the subjectivity and objectivity of information disclosure.FindingsThe results show that the subjectivity scores of social responsibility reports of Chinese listed companies are generally in a normal distribution. The diagram turns out to be a rising trend over the years and increases linearly from 2011 to 2013. Also, the industry heterogeneity and policy control are the main reasons for the formation of the differences, which are significant between different industries and different years.Originality/valueThis paper provides not only an important empirical basis for the research of corporate social responsibility but also a new idea for the non-financial information disclosure as well as objective evaluation of normative text.

AbstractGeneralized pustular psoriasis (GPP) is a systemic inflammatory disease that presents with erythema and sterile pustules, pathologically characterized by Kogoj's spongiform pustules. GPP is sometimes accompanied by mucosal involvement, and the most common lesion is on the tongue. IL36RN mutation was found to contribute to the pathogenesis of GPP especially in patients who develop GPP without a past medical history of psoriasis vulgaris. The association of IL36RN mutation with mucosal involvement in GPP is controversial. We herein report a 60‐year‐old male GPP patient with no past history of plaque psoriasis presenting with not only severe skin lesions and arthritis but also severe mucosal involvements of pharyngeal and gastrointestinal lesions, which led to gastrointestinal bleeding. Our case did not have any mutation in the IL36RN gene. We should be aware that severe GPP can cause gastrointestinal bleeding. The relevancy of IL36RN mutation with mucosal involvement in GPP remains to be elucidated.

Published: November 2018

SummaryThe Pelagibacterales order (SAR11) in Alphaproteobacteria dominates marine surface bacterioplankton communities, where it plays a key role in carbon and nutrient cycling. SAR11 phages, known as pelagiphages, are among the most abundant phages in the ocean. Four pelagiphages that infect Pelagibacter HTCC1062 have been reported. Here, we report 11 new pelagiphages in the Podoviridae family. Comparative genomics classified these pelagiphages into the HTVC019Pvirus genus, which includes the previously reported pelagiphages HTVC011P and HTVC019P. Phylogenomic analysis clustered HTVC019Pvirus pelagiphages into three subgroups. Integrases were identified in all but one HTVC019Pvirus genome. Site‐specific integration of HTVC019Pvirus pelagiphages into host tRNA genes was verified experimentally, demonstrating the capacity of these pelagiphages to propagate by both lytic and lysogenic infection. Evidence of pelagiphage integration was also retrieved from the Global Ocean Survey database, showing that prophages are found in natural SAR11 populations. HTVC019Pvirus pelagiphages could impact SAR11 populations by a variety of mechanisms, including mortality, genetic transduction and prophage‐induced viral immunity. HTVC019Pvirus pelagiphages are a rare example of cultured lysogenic phage that can be implicated in ecological processes on broad scales. These pelagiphages have the potential to become a useful model for investigating strategies of host infection and phage‐dependent horizontal gene transfer.

AbstractObjectiveAlthough there is a large body of research on head injury (HI) inflicted by caregivers in young children, little is known about intentional HI in older children and inflicted HI by perpetrators other than carers. Therefore, we set out to describe epidemiology, demographics and severity of intentional HIs in childhood.MethodsA planned secondary analysis of a prospective multicentre cohort study was conducted in 10 EDs in Australia and New Zealand, including children aged <18 years with HIs. Epidemiology codes were used to prospectively code the injuries. Demographic and clinical information including the rate of clinically important traumatic brain injury (ciTBI: HI leading to death, neurosurgery, intubation >1 day or admission ≥2 days with abnormal computed tomography [CT]) was descriptively analysed.ResultsIntentional injuries were identified in 372 of 20 137 (1.8%) head‐injured children. Injuries were caused by caregivers (103, 27.7%), by peers (97, 26.1%), by siblings (47, 12.6%), by strangers (35, 9.4%), by persons with unknown relation to the patient (21, 5.6%), other intentional injuries (8, 2.2%) or undetermined intent (61, 16.4%). About 75.7% of victims of assault by caregivers were <2 years, whereas in other categories, only 4.9% were <2 years. Overall, 66.9% of victims were male. Rates of CT performance and abnormal CT varied: assault by caregivers 68.9%/47.6%, by peers 18.6%/27.8%, by strangers 37.1%/5.7%. ciTBI rate was 22.3% in assault by caregivers, 3.1% when caused by peers and 0.0% with other perpetrators.ConclusionsIntentional HI is infrequent in children. The most frequently identified perpetrators are caregivers and peers. Caregiver injuries are particularly severe.

Published: November 2018

AbstractBackground and AimsProviding take‐home naloxone (THN) to people who use opioids is an increasingly common strategy for reversing opioid overdose. However, implementation is hindered by doubts regarding the ability of people who use opioids to administer naloxone and respond appropriately to overdoses. We aimed to increase understanding of the competencies required and demonstrated by opioid users who had recently participated in a THN programme and were subsequently confronted with an overdose emergency.DesignQualitative study designed to supplement findings from a randomized controlled trial of overdose education and naloxone distribution. Interviews were audio‐recorded, transcribed, systematically coded and analysed via Iterative Categorization.SettingNew York City, USA.ParticipantsThirty‐nine people who used opioids (32 men, 7 women; aged 22–58 years).InterventionTrial participants received brief or extended overdose training and injectable or nasal naloxone.MeasurementsThe systematic coding frame comprised deductive codes based on the topic guide and more inductive codes emerging from the data.FindingsIn 38 of 39 cases the victim was successfully resuscitated; the outcome of one overdose intervention was unknown. Analyses revealed five core overdose response ‘tasks’: (1) overdose identification; (2) mobilizing support; (3) following basic first aid instructions; (4) naloxone administration; and (5) post‐resuscitation management. These tasks comprised actions and decisions that were themselves affected by diverse cognitive, emotional, experiential, interpersonal and social factors over which lay responders often had little control. Despite this, participants demonstrated high levels of competency. They had acquired new skills and knowledge through training and brought critical ‘insider’ understanding to overdose events and the resuscitation actions which they applied.ConclusionsPeople who use opioids can be trained to respond appropriately to opioid overdoses and thus to save their peers’ lives. Overdose response requires both practical competency (e.g. skills and knowledge in administering basic first aid and naloxone) and social competency (e.g. willingness to help others, having the confidence to be authoritative and make decisions, communicating effectively and demonstrating compassion and care to victims post‐resuscitation).

AbstractAimThis study estimated whether and how the 12‐month prevalence of cannabis use disorder among US youth aged 12–17 and emerging adults aged 18–25 varied by time since first cannabis use.DesignRepeated cross‐sectional survey data from the 2015–17 National Surveys on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH).SettingUnited States.ParticipantsA total of 101 000 NSDUH participants aged 12–25.MeasurementsPast 12‐month cannabis use disorder was assessed using DSM‐IV criteria.FindingsAmong youth, the life‐time prevalence of cannabis use was 15.3% [95% confidence interval (CI) = 14.86–15.65%]. Among emerging adults, the life‐time prevalence of cannabis use was 52.4% (95% CI = 51.77–53.01%). The adjusted 12‐month prevalence of cannabis use disorder among youth with life‐time cannabis use was 10.9% (95% CI = 9.24–12.75%) in the first year after starting cannabis use, 15.3% (95% CI = 13.68–17.12%) in the second year, 17.7% (95% CI = 15.55–19.97%) in the third year and 20.6% (95% CI = 18.23–23.17%) in the fourth year and beyond, which was consistently higher after the first year (linear trend only: P < 0.0001). The adjusted 12‐month prevalence of cannabis use disorder among emerging adults with life‐time use ranged from 5.6% (95% CI = 4.26–7.23%) in the first year after starting cannabis use, 7.7% (95% CI = 6.45–9.17%) in the second year and 9.1% (95% CI = 7.81–10.57%) in the third year to 10.5% (95% CI = 9.87%–11.12%) in the fourth year and beyond, which was consistently higher after the first year (linear trend only: P < 0.0001). Within each time‐frame since first cannabis use, the adjusted 12‐month prevalence of cannabis use disorder was higher among youth life‐time users than their emerging adult counterparts.ConclusionsAmong youth and emerging adults in the United States, the prevalence of cannabis use disorder appears to increase with time since initiation of use and is higher among youth than among emerging adults during each examined time‐frame.

SummaryEthiopia is an ecologically diverse country; the low altitude regions are hot and humid whereas the high altitude regions are cooler. In this study we analyzed the transcriptome response of high altitude (Addis Ababa) and low altitude (Awash) chickens to heat stress conditions that are prevalent in the low altitude regions. The chickens were free ranged for 20 h in an enclosure in Awash, and then the heart, breast muscle and spleen tissues were collected at 6:00 am, 12:00 noon and 6:00 pm to follow a daily circadian cycle. Through RNA‐sequencing analysis, we identified differentially expressed genes (DEGs) that were significant (q < 0.05). These DEGs were subjected to protein–protein interaction (PPI) network and gene co‐expression network (GCN) analyses to understand their role. KEGG pathway analysis and Gene Ontology analysis of all the identified DEGs and the genes identified from the PPI network and GCN analyses revealed that several immune‐related pathways, such as proteasome, focal adhesion, influenza A, the ErbB signaling pathway and glycerophospholipid metabolism, were enriched in response to heat stress. These results suggest that the high altitude chickens were under heat stress and might be immunologically susceptible. Our findings will help in developing a genetic approach to mitigate production loss due to heat stress.
Ultrastructure features of the surface of the gills and the lower pharyngeal jaw of the Tilapia Zilli, redbelly tilapia (Coptodon Zillii, Gervais, 1848)
Authors: Abumandour Mohamed M. A. 
Published: November 2018

AbstractThe present investigation was designed to describe the surface ultrastructure of the gill system of tilapia Zilli. The gill system is formed from four gill arches and each gill arch carries a row of gill filaments on its convex border and two rows of the gill rakers on its concave border. The quadrilateral interbranchial septum has elevated part at the level of the third gill arch. By SEM observations, the gill arch was divided into three regions: rostral, middle and caudal region. The caudal region contained two characteristic structures: oval leaf‐like structure and rounded‐shaped structure. Each oval leaf‐like structure carried two lateral rows of the triangular pointed spines separated by a median groove. All surfaces of gill arches, rakers and filaments were covered with a mosaic of the polygonal pavement cells, in addition to the opening of chloride cells and mucous cells. The gill arch and gill raker had only one appearance of taste buds named type I. Meanwhile, the filaments contained two types of different appearance of the taste buds named: type I and type II. Type I was the main common and similar to that present in gill arch and raker and characterized by its blunt end, while type II had hair‐like structures that projected from the volcano‐shaped depression. The gill rakers were formed from central axis surrounded by two lateral lobulated regions which carry pointed spines, taste buds and the opening of chloride cells. The surface of triangular lower pharyngeal jaw carries numerous teeth‐like papillae which originated from the socket‐like depression.

AbstractArtificial hearts are effective devices to treat heart failure in clinical practice and can be divided into two categories: artificial hearts and ventricular assist devices. The goal of this work was to investigate the fluidity and biological changes of in vitro sheep blood using a novel alternating current (AC) magnetohydrodynamic blood pump (central magnetic intensity: 0.9 T, alternating current frequency of the electric motor: 0–80 Hz). Blood samples were collected from five sheep and were divided into two groups: the control group (no exposure to an external magnetic field) and the exposed group (3 h of exposure to an alternating magnetic field). The blood cell counts, changes in blood viscosity, and ultrastructural changes of the blood cells under transmission electron microscopy were investigated. This study demonstrated several findings: (i) Continuous sheep blood flow can be achieved; (ii) The blood cell counts remained unchanged after 3 h of exposure to an alternating magnetic field; (iii) Compared with the control group, the high‐ and low‐shear viscosities of the whole blood from the sheep significantly decreased after 3 h of exposure to an alternating magnetic field (P < 0.05 and P < 0.01, respectively). Plasma viscosity was significantly reduced after exposure to high‐intensity alternating magnetic fields (P < 0.001); (iv) The cytoplasm of blood cells (especially erythrocytes) became lighter in color in the exposure group compared to the control group, and “beads‐on‐string” aggregations of black particles appeared. This work provides detailed and reliable scientific research data for the development of this type of blood pump, which may serve as a transition to the clinical artificial heart.
