Conceptualising an IT mindset and its relationship to IT knowledge and intention to explore IT in the workplace
Authors: Imran Ahmed , Gregor Shirley 
Published: March 2019

PurposeAn “IT mindset” significantly influences public sector information technology (IT) adoption in least developed countries (LDCs). The purpose of this paper is to explore the IT mindset concept and its relationship with IT knowledge and intention to explore IT in the workplace.Design/methodology/approachThe research used a mixed-methods approach in two phases. Qualitative work was conducted to formulate the conceptual framework and hypotheses, followed by a survey of 228 public sector officials in Bangladesh to test the hypotheses.FindingsThe study showed that an IT mindset can be conceptualised as comprising personal innovativeness with IT and IT beliefs. The IT mindset was significantly related to intention to explore IT use in the workplace and its components were influenced by an individual’s IT skills and IT awareness.Research limitations/implicationsFuture research could further explore the IT mindset concept and its antecedents and consequences in LDCs, where it is often related to successful IT adoption, and also in public and private organisations elsewhere.Practical implicationsThe study furthers understanding of barriers to IT adoption in LDCs’ public sectors. Building IT knowledge through IT skills and awareness is required to orient mindsets to IT adoption.Social implicationsImproved efficiency, productivity and transparency in the public sector through IT use have flow-on societal and economic benefits. The paper provides insights into greater facilitation of e-government and IT in the public sector.Originality/valueThe study is theoretically significant because the IT mindset concept has lacked in-depth study and requires clarification of its nature and role.
Service user involvement in cognitive behavioural therapy training: an interpretive phenomenological analysis
Authors: Garwood Peter Thomas , Hassett Alexander 
Published: March 2019

PurposeThe last two decades have seen an increase in service user involvement (SUI) in the training of Mental Health Professionals (MHP). There is developing empirical support for SUI in MHP training, however, there is no published research into SUI in the training of Cognitive Behavioural Therapists. The purpose of this paper is to explore cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) trainees’ experience of SUI in their training. The study focuses on how an individual service user (SU) led training session is experienced and how this differs to routine CBT training.Design/methodology/approachSemi-structured interviews were conducted with six participants. Transcripts of the interviews were analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis.FindingsData revealed three superordinate themes: first, predisposing influences on learning; second, factors associated with emotional processing of experience; and third, impact upon learning outcomes. The results suggest that participants’ appraisal of their learning from SUI maybe influenced by how they accommodate the emotional impact of the experience.Originality/valueThe paper makes recommendations for educators on courses involving service users (SUs), acknowledges the study’s methodological limitations and suggests areas for future research.
Crossing disciplines
Authors: Holdaway Marcelle 
Published: March 2019

Purpose
Social and environmental accountability by firms can be compromised by a lack of democracy within community engagement and decision-making processes. This is particularly evident in potential conflict situations such as with unconventional gas (UCG) extraction. Dialogic engagement sits within dialogic accounting theory and offers a potentially valuable contribution to democratisation. This study aims to contribute to dialogic engagement as practice through the application of critical futures theory and methodology, causal layered analysis (CLA).

Design/methodology/approach
CLA was applied in field research firstly in interviews and then in a workshop setting involving participants with diverse perspectives on UCG. The workshop was planned around activities designed to: implement dialogic engagement as practice, critically unpack views on the present and future of UCG and energy needs through CLA; and evaluate the usefulness of the methodology.

Findings
Findings suggest that CLA enables access to multiple, complex and nuanced perspectives and facilitates, a deeper understanding of participants own views and of other differing views in relation to UCG, 1) a deeper understanding of participants own views, and of other differing views in relation to UCG, 2) a deeper analysis in the identification of key themes in discussions around UCG, and, 3) the identification by participants of “preferred futures” and “uncertainties” concerning energy needs.

Practical implications
CLA is a valuable tool for undertaking genuine community engagement and has wide-ranging application, one example being with interviews and focus groups. Moreover, with the inclusion of diverse perspectives, options and solutions emerging for consideration are increased. This in turn provides opportunities for creative decision-making through scenario identification and strategic development that potentially give rise to transformative possibilities.

Social implications
CLA may well assist in moving firms, and indeed civil society, closer to reaching preferable social and environmental outcomes.

Originality/value
This cross-disciplinary research applies an innovative approach and methodology, taking democratic engagement to new depths.
Prophage LambdaSo uses replication interference to suppress reproduction of coexisting temperate phage MuSo2 in Shewanella oneidensis MR‐1
Authors: Guo Qinggong , Chen Beibei , Tu Yishuai , Du Shishen , Chen Xiangdong 
Published: March 2019

SummaryMany bacterial genomes carry multiple prophages that compete with each other, potentially affecting the physiology, fitness, and pathogenicity of their hosts. However, molecular mechanisms of such prophage–prophage conflicts remain poorly understood. The genome of Shewanella oneidensis MR‐1, a Gammaproteobacterium residing in aquatic environments and notable for its ability to reduce metal ions, harbours four prophages, two of which (LambdaSo and MuSo2) form infectious virions during biofilm formation. Here, we constructed indicator strains of LambdaSo and MuSo2 by deleting the corresponding prophages from the MR‐1 chromosome and investigated their reproduction. Interestingly, the fitness of MuSo2 increased in the absence of LambdaSo, suggesting that prophage LambdaSo repressed MuSo2 reproduction. Partial deletion of LambdaSo from the MR‐1 chromosome revealed that gene cluster R of LambdaSo, which was responsible for the switch to the lytic cycle and LambdaSo genome replication initiation, was necessary and sufficient to repress MuSo2. Furthermore, activation of cluster R genes facilitated replication of cluster R‐encoding DNA and inhibited host and MuSo2 DNA replication. These findings suggest that LambdaSo represses MuSo2 propagation by inhibiting DNA replication during simultaneous induction. We predict that such a mechanism of inter‐prophage interference is more widespread in bacteria than currently appreciated.
Depositor Protection and Bank Liquidity Regulation: Distortions Affecting Superannuation
Authors: Davis Kevin , Maddock Rodney 
Published: March 2019

AbstractThis article explains why short‐term bank deposits, made on behalf of members by institutional superannuation funds, receive a substantially lower interest rate than deposits made directly by individuals and self‐managed super funds. We estimate the potential negative effect on the ultimate retirement savings of those members. We show how extending the Financial Claims Scheme to provide coverage to such deposits on a ‘look through’ basis would remove that inequity and should, in principle, remove the rationale for the payment of lower interest rates. We consider the political arguments against extending the scheme and argue that these are of limited merit.
Caustic ingestion: Has the role of the gastroenterologist burnt out?
Authors: Gill Madeleine , Tee Derrick , Chinnaratha Mohamed Asif 
Published: March 2019

AbstractCaustic ingestion is a frequent presentation to EDs and encompasses a wide range of injury to the gastrointestinal tract. Endoscopy has long been considered the gold standard of investigation, even in patients with low likelihood of severe injury, and informs the decision for emergency surgery. However, recent evidence suggests that computed tomography (CT) scan can accurately diagnose digestive tract necrosis and, more importantly, guide towards more judicious use of surgical management, with improved mortality and digestive autonomy. CT scan also accurately predicts risk of stricture formation. We propose an algorithm for the use of CT scan, rather than endoscopy, as the first‐line investigation in the assessment of caustic ingestion.

AbstractAimWe conducted this retrospective study to identify objective and comprehensive diagnostic criteria for early‐stage rheumatoid arthritis (RA) that are based on ultrasound (US) and serologic findings.MethodFrom August 2014 to May 2016, we recruited 216 consecutive patients at Hospital 1 and 223 consecutive patients at Hospital 2 who were suspected to have RA and underwent US of bilateral hands. In the US of bilateral hands from 22 sites, the findings obtained by grayscale and power Doppler (PD) assessments were each graded on a semi‐quantitative scale from 0 to 3. We also examined the assessment of the novel outcome measures in rheumatology (OMERACT)‐European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) combined power Doppler ultrasound score (ie the cPD score) and the Global OMERACT‐EULAR Synovitis Score. We used the US findings and the combination of US and serologic findings to evaluate the diagnostic performance of these modalities.ResultsSeventy patients (32.4%) at Hospital 1 and 59 patients (26.5%) at Hospital 2 were diagnosed as having RA. The best‐balanced diagnostic performance at each hospital was achieved using a combination, such as (1) the presence of PD grade ≥2 articular synovitis or (2) the presence of PD grade ≥1 articular synovitis and serologic positivity, as well as by using (1) the presence of cPD grade = 3 or (2) a cPD grade ≥2 and serologic positivity.ConclusionThe combination of a PD assessment or the cPD score with the measurement of autoantibodies of rheumatoid factor and/or anti‐cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies can accurately identify patients with early‐stage RA.

Published: March 2019

BackgroundWe investigated preoperative and postoperative TRPV1, bradykinin (BK), and prostaglandin e‐2 (PGE2) levels in patients who underwent lung cancer surgery and evaluated the correlations between these levels and the development of acute or chronic cough after surgery.MethodsWe evaluated 60 patients with non‐small cell lung cancer who underwent lobectomy at our center between August and October 2018. TRPV1, BK, and PGE2 levels were determined by enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay and postoperative cough was assessed using the visual analog scale (VAS).ResultsThe postoperative serum TRPV1, BK, and PEG2 levels of the 60 patients were significantly higher than the preoperative levels (P < 0.001). Thirty‐five patients (58.3%) were diagnosed with acute cough (VAS ≥ 60 mm), and 25 were diagnosed with non‐acute cough (41.7%). Three days after surgery, the serum TRPV1, BK, and PGE2 levels were significantly higher in the acute cough group than in the non‐acute cough group (P < 0.001). Twenty‐two patients (36.7%) were diagnosed with chronic cough (VAS ≥ 60 mm), and 25 (62.3%) were diagnosed with non‐chronic cough. Eight weeks after surgery, the serum TRPV1, BK, and PGE2 levels were significantly higher in the chronic cough group than in the non‐chronic cough group (P < 0.05).ConclusionsThe postoperative TRPV1, BK and PGE2 levels were significantly higher than the preoperative levels. The TRPV1 level was also higher in patients with an acute or chronic cough than in patients without. Postoperative acute or chronic cough symptoms can be improved and alleviated by blocking the TRPV1 pathway.

Authors: Johansen Jes R. , Perner Anders , Brodtkorb Julie H. , Møller Morten H. 
Published: March 2019

IntroductionHydroxyethyl starch (HES) 130/0.38‐0.45 is a synthetic colloid, which has been on the market since 1999. In recent years, concern about the use of HES has been raised because of serious adverse events, including acute kidney injury, bleeding and even increased mortality with its use. In the outlined systematic review, we aim to assess if the adverse effects of HES 130/0.38‐0.45 in patients with sepsis could have been discovered earlier.MethodsWe will conduct a systematic review with meta‐analysis of randomised clinical trials in animals and patients and observational studies in patients comparing HES 130/0.38‐0.45 vs any crystalloid in sepsis. The primary outcome will be all‐cause mortality at longest follow‐up. We will systematically search EMBASE, MEDLINE and the Cochrane Library for relevant literature. We will follow the recommendations by the Cochrane Handbook, the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis (PRISMA) statements and the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) approach.DiscussionWith the outlined systematic review, we aim to assess whether the adverse effects of HES 130/0.38‐0.45 could have been discovered earlier by comparing summary effect estimates of harm from observational studies in patients and randomised trials in animals and patients. The results may have implications for future drug development and approval processes.
News media analytics in finance: a survey
Authors: Marty Tom , Vanstone Bruce , Hahn Tobias 
Published: March 2019

AbstractWe survey the works applying text analytics to the study of news media in financial markets beyond intraday horizons, and expand into the fundamental economic theory and concepts relevant to the field. We compare and contrast the news sources, textual analysis methods and empirical modelling approaches adopted within the literature. We distil and categorise the key empirical insights, and summarise the bibliographic history of the literature so far. While this rapidly growing field has yielded many exciting discoveries, there are a number of promising avenues for future research which will only benefit from continued advances in computational technology.
Human disturbance as a possible cause of genetic introgression from exotic into native Mauremys turtles

Published: March 2019

AbstractThe Kinmen Islands on the coastline of China represent a recent case of the protection of endangered wildlife in a demilitarized zone. These islands represent the last remaining habitat in southeastern China that supports a healthy natural population of Reeves’ turtle Mauremys reevesii. However, human‐mediated dispersal appears to have aided the establishment of an introduced population of the Chinese stripe‐necked turtle M. sinensis since the late 1990s, resulting in population mixture of the two congeners. To evaluate the potential impacts of hybridization, we evaluated the magnitude of genetic introgression in ponds on Kinmen using mitochondrial cytochrome b sequences and 13 microsatellite loci. We further used eight environmental and biological factors of the ponds to conduct general linear regression model analysis between environmental factors and the magnitude of genetic introgression. Among the 41 sampled ponds, M. reevesii was recorded in 21, of which 12 ponds (57.1%) contained genetic hybrids or backcrosses, corresponding to 11.3–12.7% of the total individuals on the islands. The magnitude of genetic introgression was positively correlated with the amount of introduced M. sinensis occurring in a pond, and marginally negatively associated with the shortest distance from the pond to secondary roads. We conclude that this considerable genetic introgression is attributable to human‐mediated dispersal of M. sinensis; roads and habitat modification may increase the likelihood of unexpected encounters between these two congeners.
The risk–return trade‐off: Performance assessments and cognitive validation of inferences
Authors: Leighton Jacqueline P. 
Published: March 2019

Background and AimsIn educational measurement, performance assessments occupy a niche for offering a true‐to‐life format that affords the measurement of high‐level cognitive competencies and the evidence to draw inferences about intellectual capital. However, true‐to‐life formats also introduce myriad complexities and can skew if not outright distort the accuracy of inferences. For validating claims about test‐takers from performance assessments, the collection of evidence about response processes is a necessity of sufficient import that the validation process needs to be labelled a cognitive validation to ensure that the cognitive is not forgotten in the logic of the validation process.Analysis and ExampleCognitive validation is described as a three‐pronged process of (1) identifying the knowledge, skills, and attributes associated with the intellectual capital of interest, (2) selecting and/or developing tasks to elicit intellectual capital, and (3) collecting substantive empirical evidence of examinee response processes as part of the overall validity argument. This three‐pronged process is illustrated using the American Institute of CPA's (2018) practice analysis, task‐based simulations (TBSs), and use of think‐aloud interviews to evaluate claims.ConclusionsAlthough cognitive laboratories and think alouds are used to measure distinct types of response processes as test‐takers interact with performance assessments, both methods are among the best for obtaining direct but differential evidence from test‐takers. The labour and cost of collecting this evidence are often not done or not done well by many testing programmes. However, for performance assessments to succeed in measuring what they purport to measure, the investment of cognitive validation must be made.
Parents’ postnatal depressive symptoms and their children's academic attainment at 16 years: Pathways of risk transmission
Authors: Psychogiou Lamprini , Russell Ginny , Owens Matthew 
Published: March 2019

The aim of the study was to examine whether parents’ increased postnatal depressive symptoms predicted children's academic attainment over time and whether the parent–child relationship, children's prior academic attainment, and mental health mediated this association. We conducted secondary analyses on the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children data (12,607 mothers, 9,456 fathers). Each parent completed the Edinburgh‐Postnatal Depression Scale at 8 weeks after the child's birth (predictor) and a questionnaire about the mother–child and father–child relationship at 7 years and 1 month (mediator). The children's mental health problems were assessed with the teacher version of the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire at 10–11 years (mediator). We used data on the children's academic attainment on UK Key Stage 1 (5–7 years; mediator) and Key Stage 4 (General Certificate of Secondary Education 16 years) (outcome). We adjusted for the parents’ education, and child gender and cognitive ability. The results revealed that parents’ depressive symptoms at 8 weeks predicted lower academic performance in children at 16 years. Mothers’ postnatal depressive symptoms had an indirect effect through children's mental health problems on academic outcomes at 16 years via negative mother–child relationship, and prior academic attainment. There was a significant negative indirect effect of fathers’ postnatal depressive symptoms on academic attainment at 16 years via negative father–child relationship on child mental health. The findings suggest that the family environment (parental mental health and parent–child relationship) and children's mental health should be potential targets for support programmes for children of depressed parents.
Markerless Multiview Motion Capture with 3D Shape Model Adaptation
Authors: Fechteler P. , Hilsmann A. , Eisert P. 
Published: March 2019

AbstractIn this paper, we address simultaneous markerless motion and shape capture from 3D input meshes of partial views onto a moving subject. We exploit a computer graphics model based on kinematic skinning as template tracking model. This template model consists of vertices, joints and skinning weights learned a priori from registered full‐body scans, representing true human shape and kinematics‐based shape deformations. Two data‐driven priors are used together with a set of constraints and cues for setting up sufficient correspondences. A Gaussian mixture model‐based pose prior of successive joint configurations is learned to soft‐constrain the attainable pose space to plausible human poses. To make the shape adaptation robust to outliers and non‐visible surface regions and to guide the shape adaptation towards realistically appearing human shapes, we use a mesh‐Laplacian‐based shape prior. Both priors are learned/extracted from the training set of the template model learning phase. The output is a model adapted to the captured subject with respect to shape and kinematic skeleton as well as the animation parameters to resemble the observed movements. With example applications, we demonstrate the benefit of such footage. Experimental evaluations on publicly available datasets show the achieved natural appearance and accuracy.
