How assessment websites of academic libraries convey information and show value
Authors: Clunie Simone , Parrish Darlene Ann 
Published: August 2018

Purpose
As libraries are required to become more accountable and demonstrate that they are meeting performance metrics, an assessment website can be a means for providing data for evidence-based decision making and an important indicator of how a library interacts with its constituents. The purpose of this paper is to share the results of a review of websites of academic libraries from four countries, including the UK, Canada, Australia and the USA.

Design/methodology/approach
The academic library websites included in the sample were selected from the Canadian Association of Research Libraries, Research Libraries of the United Kingdom, Council of Australian University Libraries, Historically Black College & Universities Library Alliance, Association of Research Libraries and American Indian Higher Education Consortium. The websites were evaluated according to the absence or presence of nine predetermined characteristics related to assessment.

Findings
It was discovered that “one size does not fit all” and found several innovative ways institutions are listening to their constituents and making improvements to help users succeed in their academic studies, research and creative endeavors.

Research limitations/implications
Only a sample of academic libraries from each of the four countries were analyzed. Additionally, some of the academic libraries were using password protected intranets unavailable for public access. The influences of institutional history and country-specific practices also became compelling factors during the analysis.

Originality/value
This paper seeks to broaden the factors for what is thought of as academic library assessment with the addition of qualitative and contextual considerations.
Founding conditions and benefit offerings: evidence from US startups
Authors: Yi Xiang , Xu Yang 
Published: August 2018

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to answer the following research question: at the time of founding of a startup, what entrepreneurial conditions would influence the long-term offerings of HR benefits? To answer this question, our study examines the effects of four founding conditions of startups – total assets, founder’s education, industry experience and startup experience – on the basis of the resource-based view of firms.Design/methodology/approachUsing data from the Kauffman Firm Survey (KFS) conducted in the period 2005–2010, this paper analyzed the relationships between the founding conditions and the offering of HR benefits by 4,148 new ventures during the first five years after founding. In addition, this paper examined the relationships of the same founding conditions to the offering of each of seven specific benefits: alternative work schedule, bonus plan, health insurance, paid time off, retirement plan, tuition reimbursement and stock options.FindingsThree conditions at founding – total assets, founders’ education level, industry experience – have a positive and enduring influence on the offering of HR benefits to the employees. Startup experience has a significant effect on benefit offerings during the first year after founding but no significant effect on benefit offerings in subsequent years. All founding conditions have significant and long-lasting positive effects on each benefit, except for startup experience, which has a negative effect on some benefits.Originality/valueThe HRM literature indicates that there has been a surprising gap between practical interest and academic research with regard to benefits. In addition, there is a dearth of research on how entrepreneurs make strategic decisions such as offering benefits to their employees. The study represents an attempt to fill in this gap.
A sport-oriented place branding strategy for cities, regions and countries
Authors: Richelieu Andre 
Published: August 2018

Purpose
How could a city, a region or a country succeed in its attempt to use sport to (re-)define, position and promote itself? Consequently, what do jurisdictions and brand managers need to consider when using sporting events as a leverage to market themselves abroad? The paper aims to discuss these issues.

Design/methodology/approach
This paper draws from a combination of an extensive literature review and secondary data collection in order to build a conceptual framework, entitled the “diamond” of place branding through sport.

Findings
Managers and politicians of cities, regions and countries should espouse a holistic approach when developing their place branding strategy through sport. This holistic approach can be articulated around four dimensions: sport, economic, commercial and social.

Research limitations/implications
Drawing mainly from a literature review, with the support of concrete examples, this is a first step within the confines of an exploratory research. A future study could analyze the specific cases of jurisdictions and how these fit within the conceptual framework articulated in this paper.

Originality/value
A place branding strategy through sport should be translated into a socio-economic legacy, with private and public benefits for the community. Ultimately, place branding through sport is one of the components of the overall place branding strategy of a jurisdiction.
Food, friends or family: What drives delayed dispersal in group‐living animals?
Authors: Kingma Sjouke A. 
Published: August 2018

AbstractIn Focus: Nelson‐Flower, M. A., Wiley, E. M., Flower, T. P., & Ridley, A. R. (2018). Individual dispersal delays in a cooperative breeder: Ecological constraints, the benefits of philopatry and the social queue for dominance. Journal of Animal Ecology, 87, 1227‐1238. https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2656.12814Explaining why sexually mature individuals in social species delay dispersal and independent breeding is a major unresolved evolutionary puzzle. In this issue, Nelson‐Flower, Wiley, Flower, and Ridley () use a comprehensive dataset to study delayed dispersal in cooperatively breeding southern pied babblers. They test traditional hypotheses relating to ecological constraints inhibiting individuals to reproduce independently and benefits of philopatry motivating individuals to stay. Importantly, they also test the recently developed “dual‐benefits” hypothesis, which explicitly takes into account that groups (even those containing unrelated individuals) may form because of opportunities for collective actions that increase the fitness of the whole group. While they show that male dispersal decisions are mainly determined by ecological constraints and the presence of related individuals, female dispersal cannot be explained this way. Instead, females from smaller groups were more likely to disperse than females from larger groups. In combination with evidence that smaller groups are more likely to accept (unrelated) subordinates and clear (collective‐action) benefits of living in a larger group in this species, the study provides empirical evidence that considering social context and collective‐action benefits as part of a comprehensive predictive framework is important to explain the evolutionary stability of delayed dispersal, group formation and, ultimately, cooperative breeding.
Coral microbiome database: Integration of sequences reveals high diversity and relatedness of coral‐associated microbes
Authors: Huggett Megan J. , Apprill Amy 
Published: August 2018

SummaryCoral‐associated microorganisms are thought to play a fundamental role in the health and ecology of corals, but understanding of specific coral–microbial interactions are lacking. In order to create a framework to examine coral–microbial specificity, we integrated and phylogenetically compared 21,100 SSU rRNA gene Sanger‐produced sequences from bacteria and archaea associated with corals from previous studies, and accompanying host, location and publication metadata, to produce the Coral Microbiome Database. From this database, we identified 39 described and candidate phyla of Bacteria and two Archaea phyla associated with corals, demonstrating that corals are one of the most phylogenetically diverse animal microbiomes. Secondly, this new phylogenetic resource shows that certain microorganisms are indeed specific to corals, including evolutionary distinct hosts. Specifically, we identified 2–37 putative monophyletic, coral‐specific sequence clusters within bacterial genera associated with the greatest number of coral species (Vibrio, Endozoicomonas and Ruegeria) as well as functionally relevant microbial taxa (“Candidatus Amoebophilus”, “Candidatus Nitrosopumilus” and under recognized cyanobacteria). This phylogenetic resource provides a framework for more targeted studies of corals and their specific microbial associates, which is timely given the escalated need to understand the role of the coral microbiome and its adaptability to changing ocean and reef conditions.

Published: August 2018

BackgroundStereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) has emerged as a highly effective technique to treat medically inoperable non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Doses must be chosen carefully when treating central lesions because of the potential for significant toxicity. This study reviews the outcomes of a cohort of patients with central lung tumors treated with SBRT.MethodsWe identified 18 patients (12 women, 6 men) with central lesions that were treated with SBRT at our institution. Overall survival and local, regional, and distant control rates were assessed by Kaplan–Meier methodology. Correlations with outcomes were determined by multivariate analysis via Cox regression models.ResultsEighty‐nine percent of patients had a pathological diagnosis of NSCLC. The median dose to the planning target volume was 40 Gy (range: 30–50) in five fractions, yielding a median biologic equivalent dose (BED10) of 72 (range: 48–100). The median planning target volume was 34 cc (range: 13.3–89). Local control was 87% at one year. Median overall survival was 45 months, with a two‐year rate of 61%. The two‐year regional control rate was 87%. BED10> 72 predicted improved progression‐free survival, with one‐year rates of 100% versus 40% with increased BED (P= 0.012). No grade 3 or higher acute or late toxicity was observed.ConclusionsLung SBRT to central lesions is safe and effective when using five fraction regimens. BED10< 72 predicted disease progression, highlighting the importance of choosing an effective dose fractionation scheme, which must in turn be balanced with potential toxicity.

SummaryPomalidomide is a next‐generation immunomodulatory agent with activity in relapsed light chain (AL) amyloidosis, but real world outcomes are lacking. We report the experience of the UK National Amyloidosis Centre. All patients with AL amyloidosis treated with pomalidomide between 2009 and 2017 were included. Data was collected on treatment toxicity and clonal response. Survival was calculated by the Kaplan‐Meier method and outcomes reported on an intent‐to‐treat (ITT) basis. A total of 29 patients treated with pomalidomide were identified. Haematological responses at 3 months were: complete response (CR) nil, very good partial response (VGPR) 10 (35%), partial response (PR) 9 (31%), stable or progressive disease 7 (24%), unevaluable 3 (10%). On an ITT basis (n = 28), responses at 6 months were: CR‐ nil, VGPR‐11 (39%), PR‐2 (7%) and the remaining patients were non‐responders 15 (53%). Median overall survival was 27 months (95% confidence interval 15·7–38·1 months). Median progression free survival (PFS) was 15 months (95% confidence interval 6·24–23·77). In conclusion, pomalidomide has activity in patients with relapsed AL amyloidosis. Responses are rapid and early responses may be predictive of a sustained overall response. Deep responses (VGPR or better) are seen in only a third of all patients and combination therapy needs to be explored.

Published: August 2018

Mindfulness‐based meditation practices have received substantial scientific attention in recent years. Mindfulness has been shown to bring many psychological benefits to the individual, but much less is known about whether these benefits extend to others. This meta‐analysis reviewed the link between mindfulness – as both a personality variable and an intervention – and prosocial behaviour. A literature search produced 31 eligible studies (N = 17,241) and 73 effect sizes. Meta‐analyses were conducted using mixed‐effects structural equation models to examine pooled effects and potential moderators of these effects. We found a positive pooled effect between mindfulness and prosocial behaviour for both correlational (d = .73 CI 95% [0.51 to 0.96]) and intervention studies (d = .51 CI 95% [0.37 to 0.66]). For the latter, medium‐sized effects were obtained across varying meditation types and intensities, and across gender and age categories. Preliminary evidence is presented regarding potential mediators of these effects. Although we found that mindfulness is positively related to prosociality, further research is needed to examine the mediators of this link and the contexts in which it is most pronounced.
“Mostly with White Girls”: Settlement, Spatiality, and Emergent Interracial Sexualities in a Canadian Prairie City
Authors: Frohlick Susan , Migliardi Paula , Mohamed Adey 
Published: August 2018

AbstractIn Winnipeg, a midsize city in the Canadian Prairies undergoing social and demographical transformations, male African newcomer youth face challenges in their settlement experiences relating to conflicting and heterogeneous norms around sexuality, sex, and dating. With its diverse population, the city is a space in which both racialization of blackness occurs and “multicultural” ethno‐racial diversity is imagined. In this spatiality of youths’ everyday lives, interracial sexuality emerges as transgression. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork with heterosexual male youth from sixteen to twenty‐five years of age who have recently emigrated from various African countries, we examine how interracial sexuality was constituted through what our interlocutors said and did. We trace and analyze how sexual transgression associated with the desirability and taboo of white femininity was played out through social‐spatial networks and practices within the changing urban landscape. The formation of sexuality within global, transnational, and urban contexts of settlement is not simply a matter of global forces affecting the local or local affecting the global. By ethnographically situating interracial sexuality in a diverse urban locale where migrant youth are navigating multiple boundaries of race, nation, and sexuality in the transformation of their identities and subjectivities, we offer one story of how interracial sexualities are constituted in a specific time and place. Within Canada, newly arrived immigrant and refugee African young men are mired in the histories of taboo over sexual relations with white women while being key actors in transformations of heterosexuality, masculinity, blackness, and whiteness occurring through immigration and settlement processes.

BackgroundContact allergy is common in children, but may be underdiagnosed. Importantly, the clinical relevance of specific allergies is subject to constant change, and it is therefore important to continuously monitor the trends and changes of contact allergies in the paediatric population.ObjectivesTo identify possible changes in contact allergy and allergic contact dermatitis among Danish children referred for patch testing.MethodsA retrospective study was performed based on patch test data from the Danish National Database of Contact allergy. The current data were compared with previously published data on Danish children referred for patch testing.ResultsBetween 2012 and 2016, 1573 children and adolescents were patch tested. Overall, 385 (24.5%) had at least 1 positive patch test reaction. The overall prevalence was similar in boys and girls, across age groups, and in patients with and without atopic dermatitis. Statistically significant increases in contact allergy to fragrances and isothiazoliones were seen, whereas a decrease in nickel allergy was found.ConclusionAllergic contact dermatitis continues to be a common disease in children, and is even significantly increasing for some allergens.
CASC2: An emerging tumour‐suppressing long noncoding RNA in human cancers and melanoma
Authors: Yu Xin , Zheng Heyi , Tse Gary , Zhang Lin , Wu William Ka Kei 
Published: August 2018

AbstractDeregulation of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) has been implicated in tumourigenesis. Cancer Susceptibility Candidate 2 (CASC2) is a lncRNA downregulated in multiple cancer types, including endometrial, lung, gastric and colorectal cancers. CASC2 functions as a tumour‐suppressive lncRNA though multiple mechanisms, such as sequestration of oncogenic microRNAs and repression of Wnt/β‐catenin signalling. Pertinent to clinical practice, the use of CASC2 as a prognostic marker has been demonstrated in sporadic studies. These findings suggested that CASC2 might play an important role in human cancers and melanoma. More efforts are warranted to examine the function role of CASC2 in other cancer types. Further validation is also needed to promote its development to be a clinically utilizable prognostic biomarker.

Published: August 2018

AbstractThis qualitative study describes the design and feasibility of a partnership between an art museum and an academic pain center (Art Rx) to address chronic pain. The research team used semi‐structured stakeholder interviews with participating health care providers and museum staff to develop an understanding of the perceived complexity, risk and opportunity associated with the partnership. Results suggest that it is possible to align the missions of both types of organizations in a partnership felt to be beneficial to individuals with chronic pain. Interviewees identified a number of important factors for success including a collaborative organizational culture, partnership champions in both organizations, and a quality improvement process that incorporates stakeholder feedback into the partnership's continued development. This paper concludes with a recommendation that public health partnerships with museums to address chronic pain may be feasible and of unique value to both health care providers and museum staff in furthering their respective organizations’ missions.
A comprehensive study on evolutionary algorithm‐based multilayer perceptron for real‐world data classification under uncertainty
Authors: Dash Tirtharaj , Behera Himansu Sekhar 
Published: August 2018

AbstractIn the area of neurocognition, classification of data is one of the most important phases. Conventional biologically inspired neural network models such as multilayer perceptrons (MLPs) are capable of learning and generalizing from exemplary patterns and are considered to be a popular choice for many different classification tasks. However, in the area of cognitive research, there lies a certain degree of uncertainty in acquired data. This uncertainty may be regarded as fuzziness. In this work, an attempt has been made to classify data which are associated with certain uncertainty. The resulting model is named as “FMLP.” Further, MLP sometimes suffers from local minima problem during the training phase. To overcome the problem of getting trapped in the local minima in error back propagation, three different population‐based evolutionary metaheuristics (genetic algorithm, particle swarm optimisation, and gravitational search) have been implemented for training the FMLP. The resulting models are evaluated for seven real‐world benchmark datasets, and it has been found that the implemented models could demonstrate exemplary performance for real‐world data classification problems under uncertainty.

VanR is a negative transcriptional regulator of bacteria that belongs to the PadR family and modulates the expression of vanillate transport and degradation proteins in response to vanillate. Although VanR plays a key role in the utilization of vanillate as a carbon source, it is barely understood how VanR recognizes its effector. Thus, our knowledge concerning the gene regulatory mechanism of VanR is limited. Here, we reveal the vanillate‐binding mode of VanR through structural, biophysical, and mutational studies. Similar to other PadR family members, VanR forms a functional dimer, and each VanR subunit consists of an N‐terminal DNA‐binding domain (NTD) and a C‐terminal dimerization domain (CTD). One VanR dimer simultaneously binds two vanillate molecules using two interdomain cavities, as observed in PadR. In contrast to these common features, VanR contains an additional α‐helix, αi, that has not been found in other PadR family members. The αi helix functions as an interdomain crosslinker that mediates interactions between the NTD and the CTD. In addition, the VanR‐specific αi helix plays a key role in the formation of a unique effector‐binding site. As a result, the effector‐binding mode of VanR is distinguishable from that of PadR in the location and accessibility of the effector‐binding site as well as the orientation of its bound effector. Furthermore, we propose the DNA‐binding mode and vanillate‐mediated transcriptional regulation mechanism of VanR based on comparative structural and mutational analyses.DatabasesThe atomic coordinates and the structure factors for VanR (PDB ID 5Z7B) have been deposited in the Protein Data Bank, www.pdb.org.
