Luminosity
Authors: Smithies Declan 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
Chapter 11 defends the thesis that some phenomenal and epistemic conditions are luminous in the sense that you’re always in a position to know whether or not they obtain. Section 11.1 draws a distinction between epistemic and doxastic senses of luminosity and argues that some conditions are epistemically luminous even if none are doxastically luminous. Section 11.2 uses this distinction in solving Ernest Sosa’s version of the problem of the speckled hen. The same distinction is applied to Timothy Williamson’s anti-luminosity argument in section 11.3, his argument against epistemic iteration principles in section 11.4, and his argument for improbable knowing in section 11.5. Section 11.6 concludes by explaining why this defense of luminosity is not merely a pointless compromise.
Introduction
Authors: Harp Gillis J. 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
This work attempts to take a long view of the evolving relationship between certain Protestants and conservative politics. It is primarily a book about American Protestants but it is also about political conservatism. My purpose is to demonstrate the ways in which conservative thought has been formed by religious views associated with different strands of orthodox Protestantism. Secondarily, I also seek to show the ways that Protestants have been influenced by conservatism. This book seeks to answer three interrelated questions within the context of an overview of American history from the colonial period to the recent past. One, what has religion—in particular, Protestant Christianity—done for conservatism? Two, what particular components of these religious beliefs and of conservative thought allowed their convergence in various periods? Three, what effects has this interaction had on American conservatism and on some forms of Protestant Christianity?
The Colonies, 1607–1763
Authors: Harp Gillis J. 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
The Puritans conserved older medieval views in their holy commonwealth conception of church–state relations and in their prioritizing of the common good. Governor John Winthrop articulated a thoroughly conservative defense of social hierarchy and of the state as a divinely ordained moral agent. Meanwhile, many of the towns they first founded in the seventeenth century were extraordinarily stable and homogenous communities. Economic development and the religious upheaval of the Great Awakening threatened some of this social conservatism. Consequently, some criticisms of the revival represented the first examples of a coherent colonial conservatism. These critics fretted about local clerical authority and the threat posed to social cohesion by individualism, or what some termed the danger of the “private Christian.” Despite some differences, colonial Southerners shared much of the stress on hierarchy and deference that characterized their New England cousins.
Stress Amplification/Shielding Phenomena of Spherically Anisotropic and Radially Inhomogeneous Linear Elastic Hollow Spheres
Authors: Chung M Y 
Published: August 2019

Summary
Exact solutions of radially symmetric deformation of a spherically anisotropic and radially inhomogeneous linear elastic hollow sphere subjected to uniform radial tractions on the surfaces are derived. The power-law function is assumed to represent the radially inhomogeneity. Stress amplification/shielding phenomena are fully investigated and the benefits of using functionally graded materials are indicated. For a solid sphere under external uniform loadings, the conditions in which infinite stresses occur at the centre of the sphere regardless of applied traction magnitudes are specified. Also, circumferential stresses might have opposite sign of the applied loadings. Cavitation and blackhole phenomena at the centre of the sphere are also discussed.

AbstractSignificant biases of dinucleotide composition in many RNA viruses including influenza A virus have been reported in recent years. Previous studies have showed that a codon-usage-altered influenza mutant with elevated CpG usage is attenuated in mammalian in vitro and in vivo models. However, the relationship between dinucleotide preference and codon usage bias is not entirely clear and changes in dinucleotide usage of influenza virus during evolution at segment level are yet to be investigated. In this study, a Monte Carlo type method was applied to identify under-represented or over-represented dinucleotide motifs, among different segments and different groups, in influenza viral sequences. After excluding the potential biases caused by codon usage and amino acid sequences, CpG and UpA were found under-represented in all viral segments from all groups, whereas UpG and CpA were found over-represented. We further explored the temporal changes of usage of these dinucleotides. Our analyses revealed significant decrease of CpG frequency in Segments 1, 3, 4, and 5 in seasonal H1 virus after its re-emergence in humans in 1977. Such temporal variations were mainly contributed by the dinucleotide changes at the codon positions 3-1 and 2-3 where silent mutations played a major role. The depletions of CpG and UpA through silent mutations consequently led to over-representations of UpG and CpA. We also found that dinucleotide preference directly results in significant synonymous codon usage bias. Our study helps to provide details on understanding the evolutionary history of influenza virus and selection pressures that shape the virus genome.
TPR is required for the nuclear export of mRNAs and lncRNAs from intronless and intron-poor genes

Published: August 2019

AbstractWhile splicing has been shown to enhance nuclear export, it has remained unclear whether mRNAs generated from intronless genes use specific machinery to promote their export. Here we investigate the role of the major nuclear pore basket protein, TPR, in regulating mRNA and lncRNA nuclear export in human cells. By sequencing mRNA from the nucleus and cytosol of control and TPR-depleted cells, we provide evidence that TPR is required for the nuclear export of mRNAs and lncRNAs that are generated from intronless and intron-poor genes, and we validate this with reporter constructs. Moreover, in TPR-depleted cells reporter mRNAs generated from intronless genes accumulate in nuclear speckles and are bound to Nxf1. These observations suggest that TPR acts downstream of Nxf1 recruitment, and may allow mRNAs to leave nuclear speckles and properly dock with the nuclear pore. In summary, our study provides one of the first examples of a factor that is required for the nuclear export of intronless and intron-poor mRNAs and lncRNAs.

AbstractCalcium influx through the voltage-gated L-type calcium channels (LTCC) mediates a wide range of physiological processes from contraction to secretion. Despite extensive research on regulation of LTCC conductance by PKA phosphorylation in response to β-adrenergic stimulation, the science remains incomplete. Here, we show that Wnt11, a non-canonical Wnt ligand, through its G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) Fzd7 attenuates the LTCC conductance by preventing the proteolytic processing of its C terminus. This is mediated across species by protein kinase A (PKA), which is compartmentalized by A-kinase anchoring proteins (AKAP). Systematic analysis of all AKAP family members revealed AKAP2 anchoring of PKA is central to the Wnt11-dependent regulation of the channel. The identified Wnt11/AKAP2/PKA signalosome is required for heart development, controlling the intercellular electrical coupling in the developing zebrafish heart. Altogether, our data revealed Wnt11/Fzd7 signaling via AKAP2/PKA as a conserved alternative GPCR system regulating Ca2+homeostasis.
TENSCell: A 3D-Printed Device for High-Magnification Imaging of Stretch-Activated Cells Reveals Divergent Nuclear Behavior to Different Levels of Strain

Published: August 2019

ABSTRACTMechanical cues from the environment influence cell behavior. Mechanisms of cellular mechanosensation are unclear, partially due to a lack of methods that can reveal dynamic processes. Here, we present a new concept for a low-cost, 3D-printed TENSCell (TENSion in Cells) device, that enables high-magnification imaging of cells during stretch. Using this device, we observed that nuclei of mouse embryonic skin fibroblasts underwent rapid and divergent responses, characterized by nuclear area expansion during 5% strain, but nuclear area shrinkage during 20% strain. Only responses to low strain were dependent on calcium signaling, while actin inhibition abrogated all nuclear responses and increased nuclear strain transfer and DNA damage. Imaging of actin dynamics during stretch revealed similar divergent trends, with F-actin shifting away from (5% strain) or towards (20% strain) the nuclear periphery. Our findings emphasize the importance of simultaneous stimulation and data acquisition to capture rapid mechanosensitive processes and suggest that mechanical confinement of nuclei through actin may be a protective mechanism during high strain loads.STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCECells can sense and respond to mechanical cues in their environment. These responses can be rapid, on the time scale of seconds, and new methods are required for their acquisition and study. We introduce a new concept for a 3D-printed cell-stretch device that allows for simultaneous high-resolution imaging, while also being low-cost and easy to assemble to enable broad applicability. Using this device, we further demonstrated to importance of simultaneous stimulation and data acquisition to elicit mechanosensitive cell behavior as we observed rapid changes in nuclear size and reorganization of actin filaments around the nuclear border in skin cells. Overall, our results suggest that the rapid reorganization of actin during high loads might protect the genome from strain-induced damage.

Authors: Szelagowski Marek , Berniak-Woźny Justyna 
Published: August 2019

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate whether the current business process management (BPM) maturity models meet the requirements of evaluating organizations in the knowledge economy (KE) which manage processes in a dynamic way.Design/methodology/approachIn this study, a content analysis of the OMG (2008) Business Process Maturity Model and ten research papers on the practical application of business process management maturity models was conducted. The nature of the study is descriptive and based solely on information from secondary data sources.FindingsThe research results reveal that the current BPM maturity models do not correspond with the knowledge-based organizations and take into account knowledge-intensive (usually dynamic) processes in a very limited way. That is why the adaptation of the current BPM maturity models to the KE is needed.Originality/valueThis paper contributes to the BPM theory and practice in two ways. First, it provides an enhanced insight into the requirements of the KE toward BPM and BPM maturity models by distinguishing between static and dynamic processes. Second, it formulates the recommendations on possible ways of adapting the current BPM maturity models to the requirements of the KE.

Generation of fashionable clothes using generative adversarial networks
Authors: Singh Montek , Bajpai Utkarsh , V. Vijayarajan , Prasath Surya 
Published: August 2019

Purpose
There are various style options available when one buys clothes on online shopping websites, however the availability the new fashion trends or choices require further user interaction in generating fashionable clothes. The paper aims to discuss this issue.

Design/methodology/approach
Based on generative adversarial networks (GANs) from the deep learning paradigm, here the authors suggest model system that will take the latest fashion trends and the clothes bought by users as input and generate new clothes. The new set of clothes will be based on trending fashion but at the same time will have attributes of clothes where were bought by the consumer earlier.

Findings
In the proposed machine learning based approach, the clothes generated by the system will personalized for different types of consumers. This will help the manufacturing companies to come up with the designs, which will directly target the customer.

Research limitations/implications
The biggest limitation of the collected data set is that the clothes in the two domains do not belong to a specific category. For instance the vintage clothes data set has coats, dresses, skirts, etc. These different types of clothes are not segregated. Also there is no restriction on the number of images of each type of cloth. There can many images of dresses and only a few for the coats. This can affect the end results. The aim of the paper was to find whether new and desirable clothes can be created from two different domains or not. Analyzing the impact of “the number of images for each class of cloth” is something which is aim to work in future.

Practical implications
The authors believe such personalized experience can increase the sales of fashion stores and here provide the feasibility of such a clothes generation system.

Originality/value
Applying GANs from the deep learning models for generating fashionable clothes.

Authors: Floris Michela , Pillitu Daniela 
Published: August 2019

Purpose
As one of the eight key competencies of life-long learning strategies identified by the European Union and the difficulties in enhancing the “sense of initiative and entrepreneurship”, the purpose of this paper is to propose a co-production approach to overcome several concerns.

Design/methodology/approach
An exploratory approach is used to analyse a single case study based on the EntreComp progression model and on a pedagogical approach consistent with the philosophy of learning through creating value for others.

Findings
The study introduces best novel practices that help enhance entrepreneurial education in primary school by engaging multiple local stakeholders in co-producing education. The case mainly shows that a co-production approach is appropriate to overcome challenges and assists policymakers to identify specific actions and make investments in entrepreneurship education (EE) at the primary level.

Research limitations/implications
Theoretically, the study contributes to literature on entrepreneurial education and co-production studies. The main drawback of the study is its explorative analysis of a single case.

Practical implications
For practitioners, the research proposes stakeholder involvement as key to co-producing EE in primary schools, implying that policymakers should identify resources for projects and other similar initiatives.

Originality/value
The study elucidates the relevance of co-production approach to ensure early EE in school.

Published: August 2019

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to compare different employee perceptions of the success of one change: a move to new offices and an open-plan design.Design/methodology/approachIn sum, 25 interviews were carried out in a New Zealand law firm that six months earlier had moved to new premises.FindingsContrary to academic and practitioner reports that open-plan offices are disliked, participants appreciated the new office space. A well-planned and highly participative program of change management led to positive perceptions of aesthetic design, open communication, collegiality, egalitarianism and inclusiveness.Research limitations/implicationsGiven the small sample used in one organization, the study highlights the need for more research into the processes and outcomes of office space changes.Originality/valueThe roles of communication and culture, in particular, collegiality and egalitarianism, were salient factors in a complex web of causes and consequences in this context of change.
FINRA relaxes restrictions on pre-inception performance data
Authors: Kerr Richard F. , Rogers Matthew J. 
Published: August 2019

Purpose
To explain the significance of a recently issued interpretive letter in which FINRA staff agreed to permit the use of pre-inception index performance data by passively managed, registered open-end investment companies.

Design/methodology/approach
FINRA recently issued an interpretive letter extending previously issued guidance by permitting passively managed open-end registered investment companies including separately-managed series of a business trust to use pre-inception index performance data in Institutional Communications.

Findings
The 2019 Letter is an important shift in how FINRA staff views PIP data in Institutional Communications by acknowledging that passively managed open-end funds should be treated in a similar manner as passively managed exchange-traded funds. This shift will be a welcome development for FINRA member firms wishing to include PIP data in marketing materials for the passively managed open-end funds they distribute.

Originality/value
Practical guidance from experienced investment management and broker-dealer lawyers.
Sharia-compliance and investment-cash flow sensitivity in oil rich countries
Authors: Guizani Moncef 
Published: August 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to examine the effect of Sharia-compliance (SC) on investment sensitivity to internal funds in oil rich countries.

Design/methodology/approach
A fixed-effect panel technique with OLS regression is used to investigate such relationship applying data from a sample of 207 non-financial firms listed on the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) stock markets over the period 2009–2014.

Findings
The results show that the investment-cash flow (ICF) sensitivity is positive, and is a lot larger for more constrained firms. Compared to developed markets, the results show higher ICF sensitivity in GCC countries. The evidence also shows that SC decreases the dependence of firms on internally generated funds when undertaking new investment projects. Unexpectedly, the results reveal that the ICF sensitivity increases when liquidity becomes abundant. Additional analysis suggests that investment expenditures of firms display a greater sensitivity to cash flow in the crisis period.

Practical implications
The implications of this study are that SC is a nature of business that reduces the propensity of corporations to undertake inefficient investments that are derived from capital market imperfections. However, manager ability to overinvest increases when liquidity is abundant suggesting that cash-rich firms are more likely to engage in value-decreasing projects.

Originality/value
The proposed study presents several originalities. First, it provides evidence on ICF sensitivity in specific emerging economies, namely the GCC countries. Second, it highlights the issue of efficient investment. For this purpose, the present paper focuses on Sharia-compliant (SC) firms where financial constraints are bound to be more stringent than for non-Sharia-compliant (NSC) firms. Finally, the study findings enable us to investigate what the sudden abundance of liquidity, generated by the record levels of oil prices, as well as the financial crisis implied for the ICF relationship.
How do moth and butterfly taste?—Molecular basis of gustatory receptors in Lepidoptera
Authors: Xu Wei 
Published: August 2019

AbstractInsect gustatory system plays a central role in guiding insect feeding behaviors, insect–plant interactions and coevolutions. Gustatory receptors (GRs) form the interface between the insect taste system and their environment. Previously, most studies on insect GRs are focused on Drosophila; much less attention has been paid to Lepidoptera species, which consist of a large number of serious agricultural crop pests. With the exceptional advances in the next generation sequencing (NGS), cellular biology, RNA interference (RNAi), and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) technologies in recent years, extraordinary progresses have been achieved elucidating the molecular mechanisms of Lepidopteran GRs. In this review, we highlighted these advances, discussed what these advances have revealed and provide our new insights into this field.
Sorry, could you repeat the question? Exploring video‐interview recruitment practice in HRM
Authors: McColl Rod , Michelotti Marco 
Published: August 2019

AbstractHRM has embraced video interviewing through verbal computer‐mediated communication (VCMC) technology. However, empirical research in recruitment remains scant. Drawing on communication theories to analyse data from three studies, we present a conceptual framework explaining VCMC adoption and practice. We argue that VCMC technology has a larger effect on recruitment and selection outcomes than presumed. We broaden signalling theory to video recruitment and posit that interaction effects due to characteristics of the technology and a candidate's personality may affect recruitment outcomes. We also broaden media richness theory by uncovering memory effects arising from multiple interview modes. HR managers should be mindful of these and others limitations highlighted in the study before fully embracing this technology.
