The competing values framework
Authors: Lindquist Evert , Marcy Richard 
Published: August 2018

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to explore how the competing values framework (CVF) could be used by public service leaders to analyze and better understand public sector leadership challenges, thereby improving their ability in leading across borders and generations.Design/methodology/approachThis paper applies the CVF, originally developed for understanding leadership in the private sector and shows how it can be adapted for analyzing and developing skill in addressing different leadership challenges in public sector contexts, including setting out specific learning exercises.FindingsThe paper has four parts. The first provides an overview of the origins, logic, and evolution of the CVF. The second part shows how the CVF is relevant and useful for assessing management and leadership values in the public sector. The third part identifies specific leadership challenges and learning exercises for public sector leaders at different stages of development. The final part concludes by reflecting on the CVF and similar frameworks, and where future research might go.Research limitations/implicationsBecause of the chosen research approach, propositions within the paper should be tentatively applied.Practical implicationsThis paper provides guidance for the better understanding of complex leadership challenges within the public sector through the use of the CVF.Social implicationsThe social implications of the paper could include the more widespread use of the CVF within the public sector as a tool to lead more effectively.Originality/valueThis paper adapts and extends an analytical tool that has been of high value in the private sector so that it can be used in the public sector.
Towards understanding a multi-stakeholder approach in a youth leadership development program
Authors: De Vera Manuel J. , Corpus Jose Enrique R. , Ramos Donn David P. 
Published: August 2018

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to explore the experiences gained by participants of youth leadership development (YLD) programs that introduce multi-stakeholder processes as part of its training within the last five years. Moreover, the study delves into how participants are able to apply leadership and multi-stakeholder processes in their everyday lives and in their communities.

Design/methodology/approach
A perception survey of 41 respondents was conducted to examine leadership concepts identified and youth leadership practices in different social reform contexts.

Findings
Diverse challenges in terms of multi-stakeholder mobilization were evident in youth leaders’ engagement in communities. In spite of this, the YLD programs’ emphasis on multi-stakeholder process is very much embedded in the current youth leaders’ practice.

Research limitations/implications
The study contributes to the conduct of YLD programs, as well as on stakeholder engagement. Moreover, it contributes to advancing public leadership theory and practice by demonstrating how it extends to youth leadership experiences.

Practical implications
Multiple dimensions of YLD, especially in the realm of multi-stakeholder engagement, are discussed that may contribute to YLD programs.

Originality/value
To the best of knowledge, the authors provide the first study that investigates the contribution of the Bridging Leadership Framework that utilizes a multi-stakeholder approach in a YLD program using empirical data.
“This time may be a little different” – exploring the Finnish view on the future of work
Authors: Pulkka Ville-Veikko 
Published: August 2018

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to explore Finns’ labor market development predictions for the next ten years and shed light on preferred policy responses to the digital economy.

Design/methodology/approach
Nationally representative survey data employed in this paper were collected in autumn 2017. The data collection utilized a multiphase sampling, and the interviews (n=1004) were carried out on telephone to minimize selection-bias and produce demographically balanced data.

Findings
Over two-thirds (71 percent) of Finns do not expect technological unemployment to constitute a permanent problem in the digital economy. Nevertheless, 74 percent assume that technological unemployment will increase at least temporarily. A considerable majority (85 percent) also believe that future jobs will be more precarious. Younger generations, despite their currently weak position in the labor market, are surprisingly more optimistic in their predictions. Analysis of preferred policy responses support this paper’s main thesis that the Finnish view on the future of work is rather optimistic: education reforms and streamlining the current social security gather dedicated support, whereas more unconventional ideas such as basic income or work-sharing remain contested.

Originality/value
To predict possible barriers to labor mobility stemming from digital economy discourses and to anticipate possible political fluctuations, studies on the public view are needed. This research aims to provide a solid framework for further comparative explorations of the public view.
Design and fabrication of the tilting-pad thrust bearing surface profile
Authors: Wang Zhanchao , Guo Fei , Liu Ying , Liu Xiangfeng , Wang Yuming 
Published: August 2018

Purpose
This paper aims to design a new surface profile with simpler processing technology, which makes the bearing load carrying capacity (LCC) close to that of conventional tilting-pad thrust bearing.

Design/methodology/approach
The paper analyzes the LCC of the thrust pad with crown profile and designs a new profile, whose performance is similar to the crown profile. The laser method is introduced to fabricate the new profile. The profile with tiny crown height can be fabricated by the laser with the proper parameters.

Findings
It was found that there is an optimum value, which is best in terms of the capacity of tilting-pad thrust bearing reach. The new profile with proper parameters can replace the crown profile.

Originality/value
The new profile can replace the crown profile and is easier to be made. The new design method could be adopted for designing the pad surface profile of the tilting-pad thrust bearing.
Contract coordination of new fresh produce three-layer supply chain
Authors: Song Zilong , He Shiwei 
Published: August 2018

PurposeThere are particularly high fresh agricultural product (FAP) loss rates in actual supply chain operation and the development of FAPs e-commerce is hindered to some extent. The purpose of this paper is to achieve the coordination of three-layer FAP supply chain and maximize profit through the contracts among the supply chain members.Design/methodology/approachA three-layer FAP supply chain that consists of a fresh produce e-commerce enterprise, third-party logistics service provider (TPLSP) and community convenience store under e-commerce environment is considered. New game models are developed and optimal decisions in centralized and decentralized channel are characterized. Different contract coordination mechanisms are designed to improve the supply chain performance. Finally, computational studies are conducted.FindingsThe decentralized supply chain cannot be coordinated by a freshness-keeping cost-sharing contract, and it can be coordinated by a freshness-keeping cost-sharing and revenue-sharing contract. The optimal unit online selling price, unit logistics distribution price, fresh-keeping effort and unit self-collection service price can all be achieved.Practical implicationsThe paper provides a practical guideline to managers in fresh produce industry in terms of how to cooperate with other supply chain members so as to maximize total profit and achieve Pareto improvement while also supply the freshest and safest produce to the target market under e-commerce environment.Originality/valueFew studies have explored the coordination of three-layer FAP supply chain under e-commerce environment with TPLSP and community convenience store’s participation in decisions, especially considering that the market demand for FAPs is affected by freshness and unit online selling price. In this paper, all these scenarios are taken into account and corresponding mathematical models are developed. In particular, different contract coordination mechanisms are designed and examined simultaneously.

Authors: Boutard Guillaume , Féron François-Xavier 
Published: August 2018

PurposeExtending documentation and analysis frameworks for acousmatic music to performance/interpretation, from an information science point of view, will benefit the transmission and preservation of a repertoire with an idiosyncratic relation to performance and technology. The purpose of this paper is to present the outcome of a qualitative research aiming at providing a conceptual model theorizing the intricate relationships between the multiple dimensions of acousmatic music interpretation.Design/methodology/approachThe methodology relies on the grounded theory. A total of 12 Interviews were conducted over a period of three years in France, Québec and Belgium, grounded in theoretical sampling.FindingsThe analysis outcome describes eight dimensions in acousmatic performance, namely, musical, technical, anthropological, psychological, social, cultural, linguistic and ontological. Discourse profiles are provided in relation to each participant. Theory development led to the distinction between documentation of interpretation as an expertise and as a profession.Research limitations/implicationsData collection is limited to French-speaking experts, for historical and methodological reasons.Practical implicationsThe model stemming from the analysis provides a framework for documentation which will benefit practitioners and organizations dedicated to the dissemination of acousmatic music. The model also provides this community with a tool for characterizing expert discourses about acousmatic performance and identifying content areas to further investigate. From a research point of view, the theorization leads to the specification of new directions and the identification of relevant epistemological frameworks.Originality/valueThis research brings a new vision of acousmatic interpretation, extending the literature on this repertoire’s performance with a more holistic perspective.

The Data‐Limited Methods Toolkit (DLMtool): An R package for informing management of data‐limited populations
Authors: Carruthers Thomas R. , Hordyk Adrian R. 
Published: August 2018

Abstract

A simulation‐based approach known as management strategy evaluation (MSE) is increasingly used by resource managers to identify management procedures that are robust to uncertainties in system dynamics.

The majority of global fish populations are data limited and there is large uncertainty over their population and exploitation dynamics.

The Data‐Limited Methods Toolkit (DLMtool) is an R package that allows for rapid and flexible MSE specification. The package consolidates a large number of existing data‐limited management procedures and allows for rapid MSE testing of new approaches.

The DLMtool package has supported transparent and rigorous decision‐making for a number of data‐limited populations, identifying robust management procedures and revealing performance trade‐offs.

Published: August 2018

ObjectiveThis process evaluation aimed to determine participants’ perceptions of the strategies utilised in a six‐month intervention that set out to improve physical activity and nutrition in retirement village (RV) residents.MethodsQualitative and quantitative data were collected from intervention participants residing in 17 RVs located in Perth, Western Australia, via self‐report questionnaires (n = 139) and semi‐structured interviews (n = 16).ResultsIntervention resources were moderately useful and suitable. Program ambassadors were encouraging (86%), but more frequent, and more direct, contact were preferred. The main reason for withdrawing from the program was health‐related conditions (aches, pains, injuries).ConclusionThis study provides evidence that the intervention was reasonably appropriate for older adults residing in RVs. Program ambassadors were well accepted, a successful strategy that should be considered for future interventions in RVs. Increased face‐to‐face engagement was preferred, but such an approach will require greater investment. The findings contribute to a small research base concerned with health behaviour interventions in RVs.
Combined positron emission tomography/computed tomography for diagnosis and monitoring of orbital adnexal lymphoma

Published: August 2018

AbstractPurposeCombined whole‐body F‐18‐fluoro‐2‐deoxyglucose positron emission tomography / computed tomography ([18F]FDG‐PET/CT) gives precise information about tumour morphology and metabolism. The standardized uptake value (SUV) allows quantification of tumour metabolism. The diagnostic value of PET/CT in patients with suspected orbital adnexal lymphoma (OAL) was evaluated.MethodsOf 21 patients with suspected OAL who underwent combined whole‐body PET/CT between 07/2002 and 11/2016, 16 were scanned before and five after orbital biopsy. Histological tumour determination was performed in all cases via biopsy. Correlation between SUVmax and therapeutic status, lymphoma stage (Ann Arbor classification) and histological grading was tested.ResultsAll lesions could be depicted by combined whole‐body PET/CT. Histology confirmed two malignant T‐cell and 18 malignant B cell non‐Hodgkin lymphomas as well as one patient suffering from systemic lymphoma with chronic polypoid sinusitis. SUVmax levels of orbital findings were significantly lower after therapy (p < 0.001; Fisher's exact test). Higher stage lymphomas (Ann Arbor classification) expressed significantly higher SUVmax levels (p = 0.014; Fisher's exact test). There was no significant correlation of SUVmax values and histologic grading in this patient collective.ConclusionPositron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) depicted vital tumour metabolism of OALs accurately. In cases scanned after orbital biopsy and under systemic therapy, no elevated tumour metabolic activity was expressed. This underlines the reasonable application of PET/CT for therapy monitoring besides whole‐body staging. Higher‐stage OALs show higher metabolic activity. Yet, for adequate therapy initiation, histology remains indispensable.

Published: August 2018

AbstractPurposeTo characterize the mean topographical shape of the human sclera of a normal eye.MethodsForty‐five participants aged from 19 to 45 years and with no previous ocular surgeries were included in this study. Four three‐dimensional (3D) corneo‐scleral maps from both eyes were acquired using a corneo‐scleral topographer (Eye Surface Profiler). For each 3D map, the sclera (maximum diameter of 16 mm) and cornea were automatically separated at the level of the limbus. The remaining 3D scleral ring was further fit to a quadratic function. The elevation difference between the original and fit data was calculated. For statistical analysis, sclera was divided into eight sectors: nasal, temporal, superior, inferior, supero‐nasal, supero‐temporal, inferior‐nasal and inferior‐temporal. In addition, sclera was separated as inner sclera (inner ring of 6–7‐mm radius) and outer sclera (external ring of 7–8‐mm radius).ResultsHorizontally, the nasal area of the sclera showed less elevation [mean (SD) −30 (52) μm (OD)] than the temporal area [mean (SD) 4 (47) μm (OD)], p < 0.001. Vertically, the inferior area of the sclera [mean (SD) 32 (72) μm (OD)] was slightly less elevated than the superior area (mean (SD) 36 (84) μm, but this difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.40). Besides, the asymmetry of the sclera was found to increase with radial distance from the corneal apex. No statistically significant difference was found between right and left eye.ConclusionHuman sclera is rotationally asymmetric, and its shape varies considerably between subjects.
Review: Experiences of healthcare transitions for young people with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder: a systematic review of qualitative research
Authors: Price Anna , Janssens Astrid , Woodley Abigail L. , Allwood Matt , Ford Tamsin 
Published: August 2018

BackgroundAttention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterised by hyperactivity, inattention and impulsivity. Up to two thirds of young people with ADHD may experience symptoms into adulthood, yet the limited literature available suggests that many young people with ongoing needs do not transfer from child to adult healthcare services. Although worldwide and NICE guidelines recognise the importance of supported transition, evidence suggests for ADHD that this is poorly managed and variable. Little is known about how transition is experienced by those involved. We aimed to synthesise existing peer‐reviewed literature to understand views and experiences of young people, carers and clinicians on transitioning between child and adult ADHD services.MethodFive databases were searched and all articles published between 2000 and up until January 2017 considered. Four key search areas were targeted; ADHD, Transition, Age and Qualitative Research. Quality appraisal was conducted using Wallace criteria. Findings from included studies were synthesised using thematic analysis.ResultsEight papers, six from the UK and one each from Hong Kong and Italy, were included. Emerging themes centred on difficulties transitioning; hurdles that had to be negotiated, limitations of adult mental health services, inadequate care and the impact of transition difficulties.ConclusionsHealthcare transition for this group is difficult in the United Kingdom because of multiple challenges in service provision. In addition to recommendations in NICE guidelines, respondents identified a need for better provision of information to young people about adult services and what to expect, greater flexibility around age boundaries and the value of support from specialist adult ADHD services. More research is needed into ADHD healthcare transition experiences, especially in countries outside the United Kingdom, including accounts from carers and clinicians.

Published: August 2018

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is one of the most common malignant carcinomas and its molecular mechanisms remain unclear. Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) could bind sites of miRNA which affect the expression of mRNA according to the competing endogenous (ceRNA) theory. The aim of the present study was to construct a ceRNA network and to identify key lncRNA to predict survival prognosis. We identified differentially expressed mRNA, lncRNA and miRNA between tumor tissues and normal tissues from The Cancer Genome Atlas database. Then, using bioinformatics tools, we explored the connection of 89 lncRNA, 10 miRNA and 22 mRNA, and we constructed the ceRNA network. Furthermore, we analyzed the functions and pathways of 22 differentially expressed mRNA. Then, univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses of these 89 lncRNA and overall survival were explored. Nine lncRNA were finally screened out in the training group. The patients were divided into high‐risk and low‐risk groups according to the 9 lncRNA and low‐risk scores having better clinical overall survival (P < .01). Furthermore, the receiver operating characteristic curve demonstrates the predicted role of the 9 lncRNA. The 9‐lncRNA signature was successfully proved in the testing group and the entire group. Finally, multivariate Cox regression analysis and stratification analysis further proved that the 9‐lncRNA signature was an independent factor to predict survival. In summary, the present study provides a deeper understanding of the lncRNA‐related ceRNA network in ccRCC and suggests that the 9‐lncRNA signature could serve as an independent biomarker to predict survival in ccRCC patients.
