A multidimensional model of knowledge sharing behavior in mobile social networks
Authors: Hoseini Mohamad , Saghafi Fatemeh , Aghayi Emad 
Published: October 2018

PurposeA great number of people use mobile social networks (MSNs) to communicate, entertain, learn, search and get advice. Growth and survival of any community depends on the activities of its members in sharing information and knowledge. The purpose of this study is to assess the influential factors on knowledge sharing behavior in MSNs in different perspectives in a comprehensive manner.Design/methodology/approachA model of factors affecting knowledge sharing behavior in MSNs is proposed by applying the structural equation modeling and path analysis to data collected from a sample of users of a well-known MSN through a questionnaire.FindingsThis study supports the contributive aspects of trust and enjoying participation in sharing knowledge, while there is no significant correlation between perceived ease of use and knowledge sharing behavior in MSNs. Furthermore, intention to share knowledge can lead to actual behavior in MSNs environments.Practical implicationsThe results obtained here provide a grasp of factors that influence knowledge sharing in mobile communities which would promote enhanced contribution towards their online communities by MSNs administrators.Originality/valueA four-dimensional comprehensive model consisting of social, psychological, cultural and technological perspectives in one package is proposed here for knowledge sharing behavior in MSNs. Such a comprehensive perspective is overlooked in the existing literature.

Authors: Monika Monika , Chishty Sadia , Singh Nimali 
Published: October 2018

Purpose
The purpose of the study was to assess the nutritional and health status of Saharia and non-Saharia women.

Design/methodology/approach
The present study was undertaken to compare the nutritional status of Saharia versus non-Saharia women in Baran district, Rajasthan. The sample comprised married non-pregnant and non-lactating (NPNL) women (aged 18-35 years) from three groups, that is, Saharia (n = 100), non-Saharia (Meena tribe, n = 100) and general category (n = 30). The general category women, or reference group, were selected as the control group belonging to the same region. The data included general profile, physical measurement, biochemical hemoglobin estimation, dietary and nutrient intake assessment.

Findings
The mean hemoglobin value in Saharia (8.3 ± 1.4 g/dl) and Meena (8.1 ± 1.4 g/dl) women was found to be significantly lower (p < 0.01 at 99 per cent confidence level) than that of the reference group (9.5 ± 1.4 g/dl) and much below the standard value of 12 g/dl. Chronic energy deficiency (BMI < 18.5) was more prevalent in Saharia women (68 per cent) followed by Meena (∼24 per cent) than reference women (7 per cent). Only 29 per cent Saharia women were under normal BMI and majority of the reference group women (77 per cent) and Meena women (72 per cent) had normal BMI (18.5-24). Nutrient and dietary intake of both the tribal women groups were low when compared with suggested levels. In Saharia and Meena women, magnesium and thiamine were significantly higher (p < 0.01) and other nutrients were significantly lower (p < 0.01) than recommended dietary allowances.

Originality/value
Anemia is prevalent in all categories of women. Women’s health is poor especially among Saharia women who are still striving hard to meet the national health standards. A multidimensional approach is required to uplift the health status. Hemoglobin levels of all the women were found to be very low.

Authors: Flores Ituarte Iñigo , Chekurov Sergei , Tuomi Jukka , Mascolo Julien Etienne , Zanella Alessandro , Springer Patrick , Partanen Jouni 
Published: October 2018

Purpose
Additive manufacturing requires a systemic approach to help industry on technology applicability research. Towards this end, the purpose of this research is to help manufacturing business leaders decide whether digitalised manufacturing based on additive manufacturing are suitable for engineering applications and help them plan technology transfer decisions.

Design/methodology/approach
The methodology is based on case study research and action research, involving a mix of quantitative and qualitative research methods. The empirical part involved the study of the fatigue life of industrial component manufactured by laser sintering as well as a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods to define a strategic decision-making.

Findings
Laser-sintered plastic materials are suitable in end use automotive applications, especially when there are multiple product variations. Fatigue life of the tested coupling meets the design requirements. Additionally, production of mechanical parts can be substituted by additive methods while digitalising the manufacturing process to gain productivity, especially when there is a need for mass-customisation.

Research limitations/implications
This research relies on a single case study research. The application used is unique and its technical empirical data cannot be transferred directly to other applications.

Practical implications
Industry practitioners can use this research to shed light on technology transferability challenges considering technical feasibility of additive polymer materials, economic aspects as well as strategic implications for implementing digitalised manufacturing methods based on additive manufacturing.

Originality/value
This research presents a combined study of technical and strategic factors for additive manufacturing transferability using an industrial mass-customisation case as an example. In addition, a new cost comparison model is presented including the impact of geometry variations.
Defining, evaluating, and achieving accessible library resources
Authors: Kazuye Kimura Amy 
Published: October 2018

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to review the library and information science literature related to the accessibility of digital resources by individuals with mental, physical or other impairments, to assess the state of research in the field and to explore new avenues for investigation.

Design/methodology/approach
There is an increasingly rich body of literature surrounding digital accessibility in libraries, ranging from practical guides for authors of Web content, to principles of universal design, to the ethical considerations of libraries subscribing to packages of digital content, to critical examinations of the accessibility guidelines themselves. This review is intended to be illustrative, not exhaustive; less attention is given to studies of specific tools that will become quickly outdated, and more attention is given to underlying considerations and approaches that will remain relevant even as technologies change.

Findings
Many libraries and vendors have taken steps to provide equal access to websites and electronic resources in recent years. While the literature reflects an increasing level of critical engagement with concepts around disability and diversity, it also demonstrates methodological weaknesses in assessment projects that do not lead to meaningful accessibility.

Originality/value
This review offers theoretical and practical perspectives from recent work that can assist librarians in planning and decision-making, as they deal with an increasingly complex landscape of digital resources.

Published: October 2018

PurposeTraditional analytical methods are often time-consuming and require bulky instruments, making their widespread implementation challenging. This paper aims to represent the principal concepts of biosensors as an introduction of this technology to readers and offers a comprehensive understanding of its functions.Design/methodology/approachThe authors provide descriptions of the components, characteristics and advantages of biosensors along with the immobilization methods, followed by a brief discussion.FindingsA biosensor is an analytical device comprising a specific biomolecule and a transducer in conjunction with an output system. The biomolecule recognizes a specific target which leads to a change in physicochemical properties of a system. This biorecognition phenomenon is later converted into a detectable signal by the transducer. Biosensors can essentially serve as rapid and cost-effective devices with excellent sensitivity and specificity for critical purposes in innumerable fields, ranging from scientific research to day-to-day applications.Originality/valueHere, the authors explain and discuss the approaches and challenges with the aim of leading to an interest in biosensor development and improving their applications.

Published: October 2018

PurposeThe importance of employees’ job embeddedness perception in the airline companies has not been given the required attention. To recognise the role of frontline employees’ perception regarding job embeddedness, the present research aims to develop and investigate a model that examines the determinants and consequences of employees’ job embeddedness in airline industry. The current study also aims to enrich the literature on human resources in the fields of transportation service management as the lifeblood of tourism industry as a related service industry by providing a comprehensive framework and measurement scale regarding the social exchange theory.Design/methodology/approachThe study used a survey among a sample representative of frontline employees operating in Egyptian airline industry across Egypt. In total, 870 questionnaires were collected and analysed using structural equation modelling using WarpPLS 6.0.FindingsThe results indicate that both supervisors’ support and employees’ advocacy have a significant effect on job embeddedness. In addition, it found out that job embeddedness has a significant effect on organisational commitment and employees’ intention to leave.Research limitations/implicationsThis paper is conceptual in nature regarding the social exchange theory in service related industries such as airlines and tourism.Practical implicationsThe authors intend to use these considerations as a basis for future research implications for tourism small- and medium-sized enterprises in the Middle-Eastern and North-African region.Social implicationsThis paper contributes to the literature on social exchange theory by measuring factors affecting employees’ job embeddedness in the Egyptian airline industry, notably its related human resources as a service industry.Originality/valueThis study developed and empirically tested a comprehensive model of job embeddedness with its drivers and evaluated its impact on both organisational commitment and intention to leave. Such findings hold important implications for tourism small- and medium-sized enterprises in the Middle-Eastern and North-African region.

AbstractHidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic, relapsing, inflammatory skin disorder. Although several epidemiological studies have been conducted in Western countries, such data regarding Asian populations are scarce. In this study, we sought to investigate the demographic and clinical features of HS in Korea. A total of 438 patients, diagnosed with HS from May 2007 to April 2017, were enrolled and the electronic medical record of each patient was reviewed. Male patients were predominant with a male : female ratio of 2.5:1. Mean age of disease onset was 23.9 years and most patients had no family history. The most frequently affected area was the buttocks, followed by axillae and groin. Acne and diabetes mellitus were the most prevalent associated diseases and no patients with inflammatory bowel diseases were observed. In the univariable analysis, male patients had severe diseases compared with females with an odds ratio (OR) of 1.790. Two or more affected body regions were associated with HS severity with an OR of 1.693. While involvement of the perineum (OR, 4.067) and buttocks (OR, 1.471) tended to be associated with increased severity of the disease, the inguinal area (OR, 0.620) showed a tendency to be inversely associated with the severity. In multivariable analysis, identified risk factors were the involvement of the perineum (OR, 3.819) and buttocks (OR, 2.288). Smoking status and high body mass index seemed to be associated with more severe diseases. Our results will provide clinical characteristics of HS patients in Asia and help to broaden understanding of HS.
Language Change And Linguistic Theory: The Case Of Archaic Indo‐European Conjunction
Authors: Goldstein D. M. 
Published: October 2018

AbstractMany archaic Indo‐European languages exhibit a system of dual conjunction in which they possess both a head‐initial exponent (e.g., Latinet) and an enclitic exponent (e.g., Latin ⸗que). Mitrović () and Mitrović & Sauerland () argue that these two types of conjunctions instantiate the universal lexical categories J andμ. Several syntactic, semantic, and morphological properties are argued to result from this categorial distinction. For instance, J conjunctions are claimed to lack additive readings (i.e., ‘too, also’). Diachronically, head‐initial conjunctions are predicted to originate from combinations of J andμheads (Mitrović & Sauerland: 489). A closer look at the data reveals that neither of these predictions is borne out. The empirical motivation for the J/μdistinction is in fact paltry. I therefore offer a new history of Indo‐European conjunction, in which I demonstrate first that the earliest attested Indo‐European languages do not have this double system of conjunction. It is rather an innovation that resulted from the recruitment of new conjunctions across the family. These new conjunctions developed primarily from additive focus operators, and not from combinations of J andμheads. Empirical issues aside, the analysis of Mitrović () and Mitrović & Sauerland () raises deeper questions about the relationship between linguistic theory and language change. I argue that some of the properties of natural language that Mitrović () and Mitrović & Sauerland () assign to Universal Grammar are better analysed as epiphenomena of language change.
A Preliminary Investigation into the Accuracy of 3D Modeling and 3D Printing in Forensic Anthropology Evidence Reconstruction,
Authors: Carew Rachael M. , Morgan Ruth M. , Rando Carolyn 
Published: October 2018

AbstractThere is currently no published empirical evidence‐base demonstrating 3D printing to be an accurate and reliable tool in forensic anthropology, despite 3D printed replicas being exhibited as demonstrative evidence in court. In this study, human bones (n = 3) scanned using computed tomography were reconstructed as virtual 3D models (n = 6), and 3D printed using six commercially available printers, with osteometric data recorded at each stage. Virtual models and 3D prints were on average accurate to the source bones, with mean differences from −0.4 to 1.2 mm (−0.4% to 12.0%). Interobserver differences ranged from −5.1 to 0.7 mm (−5.3% to 0.7%). Reconstruction and modeling parameters influenced accuracy, and prints produced using selective laser sintering (SLS) were most consistently accurate. This preliminary investigation into virtual modeling and 3D printer capability provides a novel insight into the accuracy of 3D printing osteological samples and begins to establish an evidence‐base for validating 3D printed bones as demonstrative evidence.
An Unusually High Cocaine Blood Concentration in an Impaired Driving Investigation
Authors: Stypa Michael P. , Laythorpe Michael G. 
Published: October 2018

AbstractCocaine is an illicit drug frequently encountered by forensic practitioners in driving under the influence of drugs (DUID) casework. Whole blood collected from a suspected drugged driver was found to contain 3.000 mg/L cocaine, 1.600 mg/L benzoylecgonine, and 0.260 mg/L methamphetamine. The high concentration of cocaine, while common in overdose death investigations, is unusual for an impaired driving case. Information from the officer revealed that the motorist swallowed cocaine during the traffic stop. Although a cocaineDUIDcharge could not be pursued, the blood methamphetamine concentration exceeded the State of Nevada “per se” limit for operating a motor vehicle. The motorist was successfully prosecuted forDUIDbased on his admission of using methamphetamine prior to driving and the blood methamphetamine result. This case highlights the importance of considering case history when interpreting laboratory results and the application of jurisdictional statutes as an approach to prosecuting suspected drug‐impaired drivers.
Atypical Hemolytic‐Uremic Syndrome: An Update on Pathophysiology, Diagnosis, and Treatment

Published: October 2018

AbstractAtypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS), a rare variant of thrombotic microangiopathy, is characterized by microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and renal impairment. The condition is associated with poor clinical outcomes with high morbidity and mortality. Atypical HUS predominantly affects the kidneys but has the potential to cause multi‐organ system dysfunction. This uncommon disorder is caused by a genetic abnormality in the complement alternative pathway resulting in over‐activation of the complement system and formation of microvascular thrombi. Abnormalities of the complement pathway may be in the form of mutations in key complement genes or autoantibodies against specific complement factors. We discuss the pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, complications, and management of aHUS. We also review the efficacy and safety of the novel therapeutic agent, eculizumab, in aHUS, pregnancy‐associated aHUS, and aHUS in renal transplant patients.
On the Future of the Public Policy School
Authors: Anheier Helmut K. 
Published: October 2018

AbstractInitially created as schools of public administration to help consolidate and advance the functioning of the expanding nation state, these institutions evolved into public policy or governance schools over time. As they evolved, they encountered many tensions inherent in a triad of “management and administration – policy analysis and academia – policy making and politics”. Each of the triad corners represents a distinct and relatively powerful constituency: academia mostly interested in analytics; public administrators eager to optimise processes; and policy makers looking for actionable answers. For the most part, schools managed to negotiate the tensions inherent in the triad, but they now face a series of new challenges that will require them to change substantially to maintain their relevance. The article discusses the evolution of public policy schools, presents the reasons behind current challenges and offers several recommendations.
Loop ileostomy reversal after laparoscopic versus open rectal resection
Authors: Sebastian Arie , Stupart Douglas , Watters David A. 
Published: October 2018

BackgroundOne of the potential advantages of laparoscopic abdominal surgery is in reducing the development of adhesions, making later surgery easier. The purpose of this study is to determine whether using the laparoscopic versus open approach for a rectal resection with a diverting ileostomy affects the speed and safety of subsequent ileostomy reversal.MethodsThis is a retrospective study using patients who underwent ileostomy reversal following a rectal cancer resection with curative intent with a diverting ileostomy at the University Hospital Geelong between January 2006 and June 2017. Demographic information, operative technique and histological staging for the initial resection were recorded. Theatre time and complication rates for the ileostomy reversal were also recorded.ResultsA total of 82 patients were included in this study (22 had laparoscopic resections as the primary operation, 50 had open resections and 10 had laparoscopic converted to open resections). The three groups were similar in age, body mass index, American Society of Anesthesiologists score and proportion undergoing chemoradiotherapy. Median (range) theatre time for ileostomy reversal was 118 (50–200) min after a laparoscopic resection, 80 (30–360) min after a laparoscopic converted to open resection and 65 (50–160) min after an open resection (P = 0.009). Complication rates after ileostomy reversal were similar between the three groups (P = 0.97).ConclusionIleostomy reversal took longer to perform if the primary rectal resection was performed laparoscopically.

Published: October 2018

SummaryBackgroundIrritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a chronic functional bowel disorder. Disturbances in the gastrointestinal microbiome may be involved in its aetiology.AimTo perform a systematic review and meta‐analysis to examine the efficacy of prebiotics, probiotics, synbiotics and antibiotics in IBS.MethodsMEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Controlled Trials Register were searched (up to July 2017). Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) recruiting adults with IBS, comparing prebiotics, probiotics, synbiotics or antibiotics with placebo or no therapy were eligible. Dichotomous symptom data were pooled to obtain a relative risk (RR) of remaining symptomatic after therapy, with a 95% confidence interval (CI). Continuous data were pooled using a standardised mean difference with a 95% CI.ResultsThe search identified 4017 citations. Data for prebiotics and synbiotics were sparse. Fifty‐three RCTs of probiotics, involving 5545 patients, were eligible. Particular combinations of probiotics, or specific species and strains, appeared to have beneficial effects on global IBS symptoms and abdominal pain, but it was not possible to draw definitive conclusions about their efficacy. There were five trials of similar design that used rifaximin in non‐constipated IBS patients, which was more effective than placebo (RR of symptoms persisting = 0.84; 95% CI 0.79‐0.90). Adverse events were no more common with probiotics or antibiotics.ConclusionsWhich particular combination, species or strains of probiotics are effective for IBS remains, for the most part, unclear. Rifaximin has modest efficacy in improving symptoms in non‐constipated IBS.
