Authors: Seetharaman A. , Patwa Nitin , Saravanan A.S. , Sharma Abhishek 
Published: June 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to discuss how the rush of technological change will consolidate the worldwide reach of the internet with more capacity, specifically to control the physical world, including the machines, industrial facilities and frameworks that characterize cutting-edge technology.

Design/methodology/approach
The data were collected from 203 respondents predominantly from emerging economies, specifically India and SEA. Most of the participants are working professionals. Structural equation modelling was used to analyze data, as it is a popular statistical technique because of its ability to model selected independent variables and take into account all possible forms of measurement error to test an entire theory.

Findings
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT) platform comprises four fundamental capabilities: connectivity, big data, advanced analytics and application development. The IIOT has the potential to provide a high level of synergies between the 4 Ms of manufacturing, namely, man, machine, material and method.

Research limitations/implications
The collected data are predominately from India and SEA (close to 75 per cent), while contributions from other regions are comparatively less, so the findings cannot be generalized to the global context.

Practical implications
It is in the interest of service providers to collaborate and provide a universal solution to retain legacy systems to minimize the investment and reduce the security threat, which could boost IIOT adoption while ensuring that manufacturers are able to leverage this new technology efficiently.

Originality/value
The framework obtained has good quality of validity and reliability indicators. Thus, an alternative framework has been added to customer expectation which is currently a popular topic in the technological changes.
A risk-based integrated decision-making model for green supplier selection
Authors: Yazdani Morteza , Chatterjee Prasenjit , Pamucar Dragan , Abad Manuel Doval 
Published: June 2019

Purpose
Supply chain (SC) environment is surrounded by risk variables. This issue is regarded as an emerging and strategic problem which must be resolved by SC executives. The ability to measuring green supplier’s performance and affecting risk variables to demonstrating effective suppliers list has a potential contribution to be investigated. This paper aims to develop a decision-making model to assess green suppliers under legislation and risk factors. This leads to fewer disruptions in managing the SC and its impact to further improvement. It also presents research concepts forming a new approach for identification, prediction and understating relationship of supply risk.

Design/methodology/approach
At primal stage, different risk factors that influence green suppliers’ performance are indicated and their relationship is analyzed using decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) method. At the same time, failure mode and effect analysis is used to determine risk rating of each supplier. Finally, the evaluation based on distance from average solution (EDAS) method ranks suppliers and several comparisons and analysis are performed to test the stability of the results. The approaches include comparison to technique for order performance by similarity to ideal solution, multi-attributive border approximation area comparison, Vlse Kriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje and complex proportional assessment methods, followed by analysis of rank reversal, weight sensitivity analysis and effect of dynamic metrics.

Findings
A real-time case study on green supplier selection (GSS) problem of a reputed construction company of Spain has been presented to demonstrate the practical aspects of the proposed method. In practice, though organizations are aware of various risks from local and global suppliers, it is difficult to incorporate these risk factors for ranking the suppliers. This real-case application shows the evaluation and incorporation of risk factors into the supplier selection model.

Practical implications
The proposed multi-criteria decision model quantitatively aids managers in selecting green suppliers considering risk factors.

Originality/value
A new model has been developed to present a sound mathematical model for solving GSS problems which considers the interaction between the supplier selection risk factors by proposing an integrated analytical approach for selecting green suppliers strategically consisting of DEMATEL, FMEA and EDAS methods.
The Rebel Chief Whip: The Role of Leslie Wilson in the Fall of the Lloyd George Coalition, 1922
Authors: Stanley Luke 
Published: June 2019

AbstractThis article explores the crisis within the Conservative Party in 1922 over the continuation of the coalition with Lloyd George's section of the Liberal Party, focusing on the actions of the Conservative chief whip, Leslie Wilson. Previously unused papers relating to Wilson's career shed new light on his role in the fall of the coalition. Wilson co‐ordinated opposition to the continuation of the coalition in its existing form, helping to solidify the group of junior ministers opposed to Lloyd George into a cohesive and powerful faction, which then forced the Conservative Party leader, Austen Chamberlain, into making concessions. Above all, Wilson was influential in forcing Chamberlain to agree to a meeting of MPs at the Carlton Club on 19 October 1922, at which the rebels won a decisive victory, causing the resignation of Chamberlain as party leader and Lloyd George as prime minister, in one of the most important events in modern British political history.

Published: June 2019

BackgroundIntensive care treat critically ill patients. When intensive care is not considered beneficial for the patient, decisions to withdraw or withhold treatments are made. We aimed to identify independent patient variables that increase the odds for receiving a decision to withdraw or withhold intensive care.MethodsRegistry study using data from the Swedish Intensive Care Registry (SIR) 2014‐2016. Age, condition at admission, including co‐morbidities (Simplified Acute Physiology Score version 3, SAPS 3), diagnosis, sex, and decisions on treatment limitations were extracted. Patient data were divided into a full care (FC) group, and a withhold or withdraw (WW) treatment group.ResultsOf all 97 095 cases, 47.1% were 61‐80 years old, 41.9% were women and 58.1% men. 14 996 (15.4%) were allocated to the WW group and 82 149 (84.6%) to the FC group. The WW group, compared with the FC group, was older (P < 0.001), had higher SAPS 3 (P < 0.001) and were predominantly female (P < 0.001). Compared to patients 16‐20 years old, patients >81 years old had 11 times higher odds of being allocated to the WW group. Higher SAPS 3 (continuous) increased the odds of being allocated to the WW group by odds ratio [OR] 1.085, (CI 1.084‐1.087). Female sex increased the odds of being allocated to the WW group by 18% (1.18; CI 1.13‐ 1.23).ConclusionOlder age, higher SAPS 3 at admission and female sex were found to be independent variables that increased the odds to receive a decision to withdraw or withhold intensive care.
Committed or Conditional Democrats? Opposition Dynamics in Electoral Autocracies
Authors: Gandhi Jennifer , Ong Elvin 
Published: June 2019

AbstractIn electoral autocracies, opposition coalition formation offers the best hope of getting to democracy. Yet forming electoral coalitions also entails convincing opposition voters to ignore compromises and engage in the cross‐party voting necessary for opposition victory. To what extent are voters committed to defeating the autocratic incumbent even if it would result in dislikable outcomes? A survey experiment in Malaysia finds that opposition voters overwhelmingly express pretreatment support for the opposition coalition. But when exposed to a treatment vignette about which member party might lead the next government, many voters retract their support. Specifically, voters’ support for the coalition declines when their least preferred member is expected to control the government and when they can vote for a closer ideological alternative outside of the coalition. Although voters are committed to opposition unity and democratic transition, that commitment is sensitive to the anticipated consequences of an opposition victory.

Published: June 2019

AbstractAimContinuous quality improvement has failed to consistently reduce morbidities in extremely low gestational age newborns 23–27 weeks. 10 Vermont Oxford Network NICUs describe a novel, sustained collaboration for progress.MethodsWe emphasised a) commitment to inter‐NICU trust with face‐to‐face meetings, site visits, teleconferences, scrutiny of quality improvement methodology, b) transparent process and outcomes sharing, c) evidence‐based formulation of an orchestrated testing matrix to select potentially better practices, d) family integration, e) benchmarking with a composite mortality–morbidity score (Benefit Metric).ResultsA total of 4709 infants, mean (SD) gestational age 25.8 (1.4) weeks, admitted to 10 NICUs 1.01.2010 to 12.31.2016. The orchestrated matrix offered 45 potentially better practices; NICUs implemented mean 29 (range 19–40). There was widespread adoption of delivery room, respiratory care and infection prevention practices, but no uniform pattern. Our Benefit Metric was significantly greater than the Vermont Oxford Network all seven years (p < 0.001). Six major morbidities decreased, two significantly (p < 0.05), mortality unchanged (14%). 34% of survivors had no morbidities, 35% just one.ConclusionCultivating trust, transparent outcomes sharing, and tailored, potentially better practice selection is associated with encouraging improvement in 23‐ to 27‐week survival without morbidity. Our outcomes are objective but the optimal implementation pathway to sustain progress remains murky, reflective of NICUs as complex adaptive networks.
Natural colorant extraction from Cinnamomum camphora tree leaves of different maturities and its ultrasonic‐assisted extraction process

Published: June 2019

AbstractThis study investigated natural colorant extraction from camphor tree leaves using a green and effective process. Ethanol, acetic acid, aqueous sodium carbonate and an aqueous solution of cellulase enzyme were used to examine the extraction performance, with and without the assistance of ultrasonics. Results showed that when subjected to changes in frequency and extraction time, ultrasonics is able to accelerate the extraction process and achieve a better yield for chlorophyll and anthocyanin extraction from fresh leaves compared with a traditional heating bath at similar temperatures. However, when an alkaline solvent was used to extract dark brown colorant from the old leaves, a traditional heating bath was found to be more effective than ultrasonic extraction. Cellulase enzyme failed to show its effectiveness in this study when serving as a colorant‐extracting solvent, regardless of the use of ultrasonics.
Reviewing qualitative GIS research—Toward a wider usage of open‐source GIS and reproducible research practices
Authors: Muenchow Jannes , Schäfer Susann , Krüger Eric 
Published: June 2019

AbstractGeographic Information Systems (GIS) have become an indispensable tool in all fields dealing with geographic data in academia as well as the public and private sector. After some initial reservations, human geography and other social sciences have also embraced GIS technologies especially by extending and adjusting the available data models for qualitative data. The result was coined qualitative GIS. Given the diversity and fragmentation of the research in which qualitative GIS have been applied, a comprehensive literature review is overdue. Therefore, we retrieved all articles that dealt with qualitative GIS from the ISI Web of Science. From the resulting 380 relevant manuscripts, we extracted study‐specific information and analyzed it by means of descriptive statistics, text mining, detrended correspondence analysis (DCA), and k‐means clustering. Our results reveal four major thematic domains within which qualitative GIS research takes place, namely, “conceptual contributions to qualitative GIS,” “theory and empiricism of public participation GIS,” “health, youth, and the urban environment,” and “ecosystem services, landscapes, and tourism”. Some of these trends are popular in specific regions (e.g., “ecosystem services, landscapes, and tourism” research in Australia). Furthermore, we found that a large body of studies lacks clear information on the used software packages and that the share of free open‐source GIS software is negligible. Overall, we would encourage more transparency, a wider use of open‐source software, and interdisciplinary collaboration to even further advance and promote qualitative GIS research. To put our recommendations into practice, we made the data used in this manuscript and the corresponding analysis publicly accessible (https://github.com/jannes‐m/qual_gis). To further facilitate the replication of our results, we exclusively used open‐source software, namely, R, leaflet, and PostgreSQL. These and other open‐source software packages, for example, Python and QGIS, might have the potential to fundamentally change the way to conduct qualitative GIS research. This is equally true for methods borrowed from other fields such as ordinations, cluster algorithms, and interactive web mapping, which might be promising tools in human geography and the social sciences.
HOW NINETEENTH‐CENTURY GERMAN CLASSICISTS WROTE THE JEWS OUT OF ANCIENT HISTORY
Authors: KURTZ PAUL MICHAEL 
Published: June 2019

ABSTRACTThis essay considers why Jewish antiquity largely fell outside the purview of ancient historians in the Germanies for over half a century, between 1820 and 1880, and examines the nature of those portraits that did, in fact, arise. To do so, it interrogates discussions of Jewish antiquity in this half‐century against the background of those political and national values that were consolidating across the German states. Ultimately, the article claims that ancient Jewish history did not provide a compelling model for the dominant (Protestant) German scholars of the age, which then prompted the decline of antique Judaism as a field of interest. This investigation into the political and national dimensions of ancient history both supplements previous lines of inquiry and complicates accounts that assign too much explanatory power to a regnant anti‐Judaism or anti‐Semitism in the period and place. First, the analysis considers why so little attention was granted to Jewish history by ancient historians in the first place, as opposed to its relative prominence before ca. 1820. Second, the essay examines representations of ancient Judaism as fashioned by those historians who did consider the subject in this period. Surveying works composed not only for the upper echelons of scholarship but also for adolescents, women, and the laity, it scrutinizes a series of arguments advanced and assumptions embedded in universal histories, histories of the ancient world, textbooks of history, and histories dedicated to either Greece or Rome. Finally, the article asserts the Jewish past did not conform to the values of cultural ascendancy, political autonomy, national identity, and religious liberty increasingly hallowed across the Germanies of the nineteenth century, on the one hand, and inscribed into the very enterprise of historiography, on the other. The perceived national and political failures of ancient Jews—alongside the ethnic or religious ones discerned by others—thus made antique Judaism an unattractive object of study in this period.
THE HISTORIAN AS A PUBLIC MORALIST: ON THE ROMAN ORIGINS OF A SCHOLARLY PERSONA
Authors: Paul Herman 
Published: June 2019

ABSTRACTIn her recent book, Virtus Romana, Catalina Balmaceda provides a fascinating analysis of the concept of virtus in Roman historiography. Although virtus, which translates as courage or more generally as virtue, meant different things to different Roman historians, Balmaceda shows that disagreement was never about whether historians should provide readers with examples of virtue. Historians' differences of opinion focused rather on where such models were to be found and what they should look like. This review essay summarizes Balmaceda's main arguments, raises a question about historians' own virtus, and draws some implications from the book for the study of scholarly personae. Did the persona of the historian as a public moralist, such as is known from nineteenth‐century Europe, originate in ancient Rome?
WHAT REMAINS AFTER POSTMODERNISM?
Authors: Mitrović Branko 
Published: June 2019

ABSTRACTTor Egil F⊘rland's book Values, Objectivity, and Explanation in Historiography surveys a series of topics that theories of historiography have to face in the aftermath of postmodernism. The book challenges the appropriateness of the association of anti‐objectivism in historiography with left‐wing politics and, by defending objectivist perspectives on historical research, takes a strong stance against cultural relativism and theories of situated truth. F⊘rland also analyzes the implications of dilemmas about ontological and methodological individualism for historical research and proposes an interesting application of the views of Margaret Gilbert to the problem of the explanation of contradictory beliefs of historical figures. The book has been published at a very appropriate moment, and it will help open questions and dilemmas that have received insufficient attention in the past due to the domination of postmodernist perspectives.

Published: June 2019

AbstractThe self‐propogating high‐temperature syntheis (SHS) experiments in the glove box indicated that the combustion temperature decreased and the ignition time increased with increasing B4C size in Cu‐Zr‐B4C system. Once B4C size exceeded 28 μm, the full conversion of ZrC and ZrB2 failed. In situ ZrC and ZrB2 ceramic particle‐reinforced Cu matrix composites were produced by the self‐propagating high‐temperature synthesis reaction of Cu‐Zr‐B4C system in molten Cu. Moreover, the phase formation mechanism was investigated by the combustion wave quenching experiment of Cu‐Zr‐B4C powder compact in Cu liquid. Results showed that ZrC and ZrB2 were mainly formed by the dissolution‐reaction‐precipitation mechanism. A developed method arresting the combustion front of a reactant in molten metal was proposed.

AbstractNon–rare earth Mn4+‐activated strontium aluminate phosphor is considered to be a promising material for plant cultivation field owing to their advantage of inexpensively, environment friendly, nontoxic, and appropriate spectral range. In this paper, a Sr4−xBaxAl13.99O25:0.01Mn4+,1.4H3BO3 strontium aluminate phosphor is synthesized by a convenient high‐temperature solid‐state reaction. The photoluminescence spectra located at red region with a peak at 655 nm in the range of 600 to 750 nm that can be excited under the excitation of ultraviolet (~346 nm) or blue light (~450 nm). The shape emission band at 655 nm is attributed to the transition of 2Eg‐4A2g. Furthermore, the emission intensity of Sr4−xBaxAl13.99O25: 0.01Mn4+,1.4H3BO3 phosphor is conducted in detail with the variety of Ba2+ doping concentration and the intensity can be enhanced to 140.9% than the Sr4Al13.99O25:0.01Mn4+,1.4H3BO3 when the value of Ba2+ concentration equal to 0.1 mol. In addition, the X‐ray diffraction spectra, element mapping, composition modifying, optical properties, FT‐IR spectra, diffuse reflectance spectra, thermal stability, and fluorescence lifetime are systematically investigated. According to the electro‐luminescent spectra of as‐packaged LED, indicating that the Sr3.9Ba0.1Al13.99O25:0.01Mn4+,1.4H3BO3 phosphor will become a great candidate for plant cultivation LEDs due to the emission spectra match well the plant pigment spectrum.

AbstractBackgroundThe purpose of this study was to investigate the patterns of objectively measured sedentary behaviour in adults with intellectual disabilities.MethodsBaseline accelerometer data were pooled from two randomized controlled trials of lifestyle behaviour change programmes for adults with intellectual disabilities. Patterns of sedentary behaviours were computed including total volume, number, and duration of bouts and breaks.ResultsParticipants spent >70% of the day sedentary (8 hr), which was generally accumulated in short sedentary bouts (<10 min). Participants were engaged in significantly more sedentary time during the morning, although differences between time of day were small (mean bout duration range: 19.8–22.3 min).ConclusionsThe findings add valuable insight into the patterns of sedentary behaviours among adults with intellectual disabilities. Further research investigating the patterns and context of sedentary behaviour is required to develop targeted interventions to reduce total sedentary time in adults with intellectual disabilities.
