“It’s a delicate dance”: understanding CSR relationships from the nonprofit perspective
Authors: Harrison Virginia 
Published: June 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to examine corporate social responsibility (CSR) partnerships from the often-overlooked perspective of nonprofit beneficiaries, situated in the rapidly evolving higher education funding environment.

Design/methodology/approach
In-depth interviews with corporate relations officers from public research universities across the USA were conducted. Qualitative coding procedures from Lindlof and Taylor (2019) were employed to analyze transcript data.

Findings
Three main factors have contributed to a rapidly evolving climate for corporate partnerships: CSR partnerships help universities build their reputations rather than endowments; feature new preferences in communication-based stewardship practices; and raise questions about university autonomy and authority.

Research limitations/implications
New interpretations of interdependent relationships and stewardship may be needed to explain new corporate funding models, while threats to nonprofit organizational authority and autonomy may be growing.

Practical implications
Nonprofit practitioners may better understand how to position their organizations as more attractive to corporations while learning how to advocate for mutual benefits. They may also benefit from a new understanding of corporate stewardship.

Originality/value
While previous research has documented detrimental effects to nonprofits in CSR partnerships, higher education fundraisers in this study detail their struggles with new models of measuring success, new expectations for stewarding corporate partners and perceived threats to autonomy. Their voices add to a fuller understanding of rapidly evolving relationship management practices in higher education.
Reliable, valid and efficient evaluation of media messages
Authors: Kim Minji , Cappella Joseph N. 
Published: June 2019

Purpose
In the field of public relations and communication management, message evaluation has been one of the starting points for evaluation and measurement research at least since the 1970s. Reliable and valid message evaluation has a central role in message effects research and campaign design in other disciplines as well as communication science. The purpose of this paper is to offer a message testing protocol to efficiently acquire valid and reliable message evaluation data.

Design/methodology/approach
A message testing protocol is described in terms of how to conceptualize and evaluate the content and format of messages, in terms of procedures for acquiring and testing messages and in terms of using efficient, reliable and valid measures of perceived message effectiveness (PME) and perceived argument strength (PAS). The evidence supporting the reliability and validity of PME and PAS measures is reviewed.

Findings
The message testing protocol developed and reported is an efficient, reliable and valid approach for testing large numbers of messages.

Research limitations/implications
Researchers’ ability to select candidate messages for subsequent deeper testing, for various types of communication campaigns, and for research in theory testing contexts is facilitated. Avoiding the limitations of using a single instance of a message to represent a category (also known as the case-category confound) is reduced.

Practical implications
Communication campaign designers are armed with tools to assess messages and campaign concepts quickly and efficiently, reducing pre-testing time and resources while identifying “best-in-show” examples and prototypes.

Originality/value
Message structures are conceptualized in terms of content and format features using theoretically driven constructs. Measures of PAS and PME are reviewed for their reliability, construct and predictive validity, finding that the measures are acceptable surrogates for actual effectiveness for a wide variety of messages and applications. Coupled with procedures that reduce confounding by randomly nesting messages within respondents and respondents to messages, the measures used and protocol deployed offer an efficient and utilitarian approach to message testing and modeling.

Third, it lists strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats facing future SMIF integration into finance education.

Findings
The use of innovative experiential learning solutions like SMIFs bridging theory and practice can be enhanced by integrating them into effective systems of finance education.

Practical implications
Lessons learned include benefits of SMIF management by class, licensing and professional certification, trading centers, use of SMIF finances to support other components of education, proliferation of SMIFs, SMIF stimulation of academic units like centers/institutes, SMIF facilitation of collaboration, importance of tying SMIFs to student finance clubs, coordination of industry speaker visits between SMIF classes and clubs, and use of SMIFs in addressing cutting-edge challenges.

Originality/value
This paper discusses how SMIFs can be integrated in finance education.
An empirical study of the impact of goal orientation on individual ambidexterity – moderating roles of goal interdependence and constructive controversy
Authors: Xiang Shuting , Chen Guoquan , Liu Wei , Zhou Qiwei , Xing Shuo 
Published: June 2019

PurposeAmbidexterity is the source of organizational sustainable development and long-term success. However, understanding the role of individual ambidexterity in organizations remains underdeveloped. Recently, scholars have increasingly emphasized the importance of individual ambidexterity, calling for more research on the topic. This study aims to explore the factors influencing individual ambidexterity. It proposed that goal orientation would be related to individual ambidexterity, and perceived cooperative goal interdependence and constructive controversy would play moderating roles in this relationship.Design/methodology/approachThe paper opted for a survey study. Questionnaires were distributed to enterprise managers from a part-time MBA program at a university located in Beijing, China. They were also asked to bring copies to their colleagues, so they could fill them out. The authors obtained 229 valid questionnaires and used hierarchical regression analysis to test the relationships.FindingsThe results revealed that both learning goal orientation and performance goal orientation were significantly and positively related to individual ambidexterity. Perceived cooperative goal interdependence and constructive controversy positively moderated the relationship between learning goal orientation/ performance goal orientation and individual ambidexterity.Practical implicationsThe paper provides beneficial suggestions for both managers and employees. It offers a reference for managers regarding how to promote employee ambidexterity. It also provides suggestions for employee career development.Originality/valueThe paper explored the factors influencing ambidextrous activities at the individual level, a very scare approach in extant studies. It also constructed a systematic process mechanism of individual ambidexterity, integrating both internal and external factors.
The experiences of research fellows seeking independence in multiple communities of practice
Authors: Petichakis Christos , Saetnan Eli , Clark Lynn 
Published: June 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to examine the lived experiences of current or recent research fellows holding a prestigious research fellowship, and are based in a research-intensive university in the UK. The authors of this study explored the challenges and opportunities that come with the transition of these individuals from a postdoctoral position to a fellowship.

Design/methodology/approach
Using a qualitative research method and through semi-structured interviews with a purposively selected sample, this research attempts to interpret the lived experiences of four research fellows by making sense of their narratives and reflections on their roles through their career development and the pursuit of research independence in their field.

Findings
Three themes were identified following the analysis of the data collected, namely, the freedom to explore, managing relationships and serendipity. The emphasis on achieving research independence, with the first signs of independence appearing from their postdoctoral years, was stated as an important factor in the career development of the research fellow. Gaining legitimacy and membership to multiple communities of practice simultaneously appeared to be a productive yet challenging developmental experience.

Originality/value
While attention in recently published output has been given to the professional development of research students and postdoctoral staff, exploring the views of research fellows remains an under-researched area in the field of researcher development. This qualitative study aims to start a discussion by exploring the lived experiences of this select group as they explain their identity-trajectory in research and pursue their aspirations towards achieving an academic post.
Optimising the safety of road transport workers on IBS building construction projects: a review
Authors: Ismail Zul-Atfi 
Published: June 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to develop a new information and communication technology (ICT)-based approach for optimising safety transportation according to the needs of the current industrialised building system (IBS) building construction schemes. The improper handling and information management of road transport workers appears to be a major problem in the safety of the IBS building construction industry. Transportation activity is particularly problematic for IBS building construction projects in which traffic incident and safety management level are not in good condition to match with construction specification.

Design/methodology/approach
A new ICT-based approach is suggested for optimising safety transportation in accordance with the needs of the current IBS building construction schemes. As a precursor to this work, the concept of road transport workers practices is reviewed and the main features of ICT tools and techniques currently being used on such projects are presented.

Findings
The sophisticated road transport workers system solutions is described as an essential component of this optimisation to promote long-term safety and quality improvements of IBS building construction projects.

Originality/value
Finally, the potential for a research framework for developing such a system in the future is presented.

Abstract

It is fundamentally important for many animal ecologists to quantify the costs of animal activities, although it is not straightforward to do so. The recording of triaxial acceleration by animal‐attached devices has been proposed as a way forward for this, with the specific suggestion that dynamic body acceleration (DBA) be used as a proxy for movement‐based power.

Dynamic body acceleration has now been validated frequently, both in the laboratory and in the field, although the literature still shows that some aspects of DBA theory and practice are misunderstood. Here, we examine the theory behind DBA and employ modelling approaches to assess factors that affect the link between DBA and energy expenditure, from the deployment of the tag, through to the calibration of DBA with energy use in laboratory and field settings.

Using data from a range of species and movement modes, we illustrate that vectorial and additive DBA metrics are proportional to each other. Either can be used as a proxy for energy and summed to estimate total energy expended over a given period, or divided by time to give a proxy for movement‐related metabolic power. Nonetheless, we highlight how the ability of DBA to predict metabolic rate declines as the contribution of non‐movement‐related factors, such as heat production, increases.

Overall, DBA seems to be a substantive proxy for movement‐based power but consideration of other movement‐related metrics, such as the static body acceleration and the rate of change of body pitch and roll, may enable researchers to refine movement‐based metabolic costs, particularly in animals where movement is not characterized by marked changes in body acceleration.
Development of a contouring guide for three different types of optic chiasm: A practical approach

Published: June 2019

AbstractIntroductionSparing of the organs at risk (OARs) is a crucial task in daily radiotherapy practice. Irradiation of the optic chiasm (OC) results in radiation‐induced optic neuropathy (RION). The structure of the OC is complex, and OC morphology can vary in axial images. Therefore, a standard atlas can result in inaccurate descriptions of OC morphology in different patients. The aim of our study was to provide a guide based on computed tomography (CT) for the delineation of different types of OC.MethodsThirty‐six patients were selected to participate in our study. These patients underwent CT analysis of the brain, head and neck regions in a supine position. Axial images 3 mm in thickness were obtained at 3‐mm intervals. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) study was also performed using the same set‐up. The OC was then delineated. The contours were revised by three neuroradiologists and nine radiation oncologists with > 5 years of expertise.ResultsThree types of OC were distinguished by magnetic resonance (MR). The location and boundaries of normal, prefixed and postfixed chiasms were developed with a CT‐based atlas. Discrepancies were observed in the delineation of the prefixed and postfixed OC.ConclusionsOur guide allows improved definitions of the anatomical boundaries for different types of OC. Our experience could provide useful information for radiation oncologists in daily practice.
Blunt renal vascular trauma resulting in arterial avulsion injury with a nephron‐sparing outcome
Authors: Clements Warren , Moriarty Heather K 
Published: June 2019

SummaryBlunt renal vascular traumatic injury is uncommon, and most injuries can be managed conservatively in a patient who is clinically stable. Pseudoaneurysm or active bleeding at presentation is rare and in an unstable patient, endovascular techniques offer a low morbidity option for rapid treatment. We present an unusual case of avulsion of a second order renal artery from the main renal artery, with active bleeding at presentation treated by excluding the bleed with a stent graft. This was complicated by delayed pseudoaneurysm formation, treated with a larger stent graft. This resulted in preservation of renal parenchyma and renal function in a young patient.

SummarySNP arrays are widely used in genetic research and agricultural genomics applications, and the quality of SNP genotyping data is of paramount importance. In the present study, SNP genotyping concordance and discordance were evaluated for commercial bovine SNP arrays based on two types of quality assurance (QA) samples provided by Neogen GeneSeek. The genotyping discordance rates (GDRs) between chips were on average between 0.06% and 0.37% based on the QA type I data and between 0.05% and 0.15% based on the QA type II data. The average genotyping error rate (GER) pertaining to single SNP chips, based on the QA type II data, varied between 0.02% and 0.08% per SNP and between 0.01% and 0.06% per sample. These results indicate that genotyping concordance rate was high (i.e. from 99.63% to 99.99%). Nevertheless, mitochondrial and Y chromosome SNPs had considerably elevated GDRs and GERs compared to the SNPs on the 29 autosomes and X chromosome. The majority of genotyping errors resulted from single allotyping errors, which also included the opposite instances for allele ‘dropout’ (i.e. from AB to AA or BB). Simultaneous allotyping errors on both alleles (e.g. mistaking AA for BB or vice versa) were relatively rare. Finally, a list of SNPs with a GER greater than 1% is provided. Interpretation of association effects of these SNPs, for example in genome‐wide association studies, needs to be taken with caution. The genotyping concordance information needs to be considered in the optimal design of future bovine SNP arrays.

SummaryPatients with low‐risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) usually develop iron overload. This leads to a high level of oxidative stress in the bone marrow (BM) and increases haematopoietic cell dysfunction. Our objective was to analyse whether chelation with deferasirox (DFX) alleviates the consequences of oxidative stress and improves BM cell functionality. We analysed 13 iron‐overloaded MDS patients' samples before and 4–10 months after treatment with DFX. Using multiparametric flow cytometry analysis, we measured intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), DNA oxidation and double strand breaks. Haematopoietic differentiation capacity was analysed by colony‐forming unit (CFU) assays. Compared to healthy donors, MDS showed a higher level of intracellular ROS and DNA oxidative damage in BM cells. DNA oxidative damage decreased following DFX treatment. Furthermore, the clonogenic assays carried out before treatment suggest an impaired haematopoietic differentiation. DFX seems to improve this capacity, as illustrated by a decreased cluster/CFU ratio, which reached values similar to controls. We conclude that BM cells from MDS are subject to higher oxidative stress conditions and show an impaired haematopoietic differentiation. These adverse features seem to be partially rectified after DFX treatment.
String‐Based Synthesis of Structured Shapes
Authors: Kalojanov Javor , Lim Isaak , Mitra Niloy , Kobbelt Leif 
Published: June 2019

AbstractWe propose a novel method to synthesize geometric models from a given class of context‐aware structured shapes such as buildings and other man‐made objects. The central idea is to leverage powerful machine learning methods from the area of natural language processing for this task. To this end, we propose a technique that maps shapes to strings and vice versa, through an intermediate shape graph representation. We then convert procedurally generated shape repositories into text databases that, in turn, can be used to train a variational autoencoder. The autoencoder enables higher level shape manipulation and synthesis like, for example, interpolation and sampling via its continuous latent space. We provide project code and pre‐trained models.
Gradient Outlier Removal for Gradient‐Domain Path Tracing
Authors: Ha Saerom , Oh Sojin , Back Jonghee , Yoon Sung‐Eui , Moon Bochang 
Published: June 2019

AbstractWe present a new outlier removal technique for a gradient‐domain path tracing (G‐PT) that computes image gradients as well as colors. Our approach rejects gradient outliers whose estimated errors are much higher than those of the other gradients for improving reconstruction quality for the G‐PT. We formulate our outlier removal problem as a least trimmed squares optimization, which employs only a subset of gradients so that a final image can be reconstructed without including the gradient outliers. In addition, we design this outlier removal process so that the chosen subset of gradients maintains connectivity through gradients between pixels, preventing pixels from being isolated. Lastly, the optimal number of inlier gradients is estimated to minimize our reconstruction error. We have demonstrated that our reconstruction with robustly rejecting gradient outliers produces visually and numerically improved results, compared to the previous screened Poisson reconstruction that uses all the gradients.
Generating Stochastic Wall Patterns On‐the‐fly with Wang Tiles
Authors: Derouet‐Jourdan Alexandre , Salvati Marc , Jonchier Théo 
Published: June 2019

AbstractThe game and movie industries always face the challenge of reproducing materials. This problem is tackled by combining illumination models and various textures (painted or procedural patterns). Generating stochastic wall patterns is crucial in the creation of a wide range of backgrounds (castles, temples, ruins…). A specific Wang tile set was introduced previously to tackle this problem, in an iterative fashion. However, long lines may appear as visual artifacts. We use this tile set in a new on‐the‐fly procedure to generate stochastic wall patterns. For this purpose, we introduce specific hash functions implementing a constrained Wang tiling. This technique makes possible the generation of boundless textures while giving control over the maximum line length. The algorithm is simple and easy to implement, and the wall structure we get from the tiles allows to achieve visuals that reproduce all the small details of artist painted walls.
Computational Design of Steady 3D Dissection Puzzles
Authors: Tang Keke , Song Peng , Wang Xiaofei , Deng Bailin , Fu Chi‐Wing , Liu Ligang 
Published: June 2019

AbstractDissection puzzles require assembling a common set of pieces into multiple distinct forms. Existing works focus on creating 2D dissection puzzles that form primitive or naturalistic shapes. Unlike 2D dissection puzzles that could be supported on a tabletop surface, 3D dissection puzzles are preferable to be steady by themselves for each assembly form. In this work, we aim at computationally designing steady 3D dissection puzzles. We address this challenging problem with three key contributions. First, we take two voxelized shapes as inputs and dissect them into a common set of puzzle pieces, during which we allow slightly modifying the input shapes, preferably on their internal volume, to preserve the external appearance. Second, we formulate a formal model of generalized interlocking for connecting pieces into a steady assembly using both their geometric arrangements and friction. Third, we modify the geometry of each dissected puzzle piece based on the formal model such that each assembly form is steady accordingly. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach on a wide variety of shapes, compare it with the state‐of‐the‐art on 2D and 3D examples, and fabricate some of our designed puzzles to validate their steadiness.
