Analyzing campaign’s outcome in reward-based crowdfunding
Authors: Madrazo-Lemarroy Pilar , Barajas-Portas Karla , Labastida Tovar Maria Elena 
Published: April 2019

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to probe how reward-based crowdfunding campaigns accomplish their goal by adopting the theoretical constructs of social capital dimensions: structural, cognitive and relational.Design/methodology/approachThe approach used is a design model for concluded campaigns in a Mexican crowdfunding platform, which determines social capital from operating social networks (Facebook and Twitter). By using this model, the associations between the dimensions are revealed, verifying how social capital flourishes during the campaign and how it alters the campaign’s outcome.FindingsThe findings demonstrate how social interaction through a wide social network (structural dimension), shared vision and values among entrepreneurs and their potential funders (cognitive dimension), and the development of trustworthiness within the campaign (relational dimension) boost the probability of achieving the crowdfunding goal.Research limitations/implicationsThe results inform researchers on how social capital is forged from social networks during a crowdfunding campaign. However, the method must be validated with other crowdfunding models and other social network platforms commonly used by campaign creators.Practical implicationsContributions from this paper include tools (design model and evaluation method) associating theory with the crowdfunding mechanism, complementing previous work. Crowdfunding providers, as well as campaign creators, have now an approach to appraise social capital and obtain the desired goal.Originality/valueIn addition to providing much-needed research on the current state of crowdfunding, this paper analyzes the link between practice and theory, which can be valuable in confining the mechanism to an accurate theory and ensuring the theory’s longevity.

Authors: Sri Mangesti , Solimun Solimun 
Published: April 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the effect between audit quality and risk taking on value creation.

Design/methodology/approach
Population under study is companies on the Jakarta Stock Exchange from 2004 to 2015. Considering the limitations, 145 companies studied in this research, which made a sample containing 1,740 company-years. This study is based on the panel data and multivariate regression method. This research uses fixed and random effects to estimate the regression. In this paper, five components of audit quality, including auditor specialization, tenure, audit firm size, ownership concentration and the percentage of unbounded members of the board, are studied.

Findings
The results of this study indicate that among these five components as well as the risk factor, only tenure and ownership concentration have a significant effect on value creation of companies. In other words, both ownership concentration and tenure are positively effective in value creation and other variables have no significant effect on value creation. Besides, none of them could affect the risk taking on value creation.

Originality/value
The outcomes of the current study help audit market and capital market in developing nations.
Belonging at work: the experiences, representations and meanings of belonging
Authors: Filstad Cathrine , Traavik Laura E.M. , Gorli Mara 
Published: April 2019

Purpose
This paper aims to explore what belonging is through the represented experience of people at work. The aim is to investigate employees’ interpretations of belonging at work and its interrelation with the material, aesthetic and emotional aspects associated to the where, the how and the when workplace is inhabited.

Design/methodology/approach
In line with the practice turn in social sciences, this study uses the visual method (snaplogs), which includes pictures and texts.

Findings
Belonging is situated in and integrated with social interactions, materiality, emotions and aesthetics. Belonging is about being part of something, the process of becoming through constant mediation between material aspects and social components, the process of experiencing boundaries and the attempt to perform, engage and participate (and find spaces for shared practices) in a workplace. Together, they constitute the situatedness, the here and now, of experiences of belonging and the perceived interpretation of being one among equals across organizational boundaries.

Research limitations/implications
Data were only collected at one point in time. The authors also relied on their own interpretations of pictures and texts and did not involve the informants in the analysis.

Practical implications
Being, becoming and belonging comprise material, social and affective dimensions. These dimensions should be addressed for employees to belong at work.

Originality/value
This study contributes to the belonging literature on perceived interpretations of what belonging is at work. The paper is also original in terms of the visual method used to grasp the practice representation of belonging experiences.
The effect of transformational leadership on corporate entrepreneurship in Tunisian SMEs
Authors: Boukamcha Fayçal 
Published: April 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether transformational leadership matters in promoting corporate entrepreneurship in Tunisian small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). It has been argued that transformational leadership is a multidimensional construct which is composed of intellectual stimulation, idealized influence, inspirational motivation and individual consideration. Corporate entrepreneurship is also a multidimensional construct composed of new business venturing, innovativeness, self-renewal and proactiveness. Hence, it has been hypothesized that transformational leadership positively and directly influences corporate entrepreneurship.

Design/methodology/approach
A hypothetico-deductive and quantitative approach was adopted to test the suggested research model. A 2 × 2 survey was conducted on a random sample of a set of Tunisian SMEs’ workers. Data analysis was performed using the structural equation modeling.

Findings
The results highlight the relatively relevance of transformational leadership’s components in triggering the corporate entrepreneurship’s patterns.

Originality/value
The author reports on the importance of transformational leadership in the corporate entrepreneurship development in the Tunisian business context. The paper should be of interest to readers in the areas of management and entrepreneurship. This work seems to be relevant to the extent that few works have highlighted the association between the components of both transformational leadership and corporate entrepreneurship. The findings seem interesting insofar as they show mainly the important effect of the intellectual stimulation and the inspirational motivation, triggered by transformational leaders, on workers’ innovativeness, proactiveness and new business venturing.

Social implications
The future success of national economies is heavily dependent upon ecosystem partners working together to develop and maintain a skilled workforce across regional labor markets.

Originality/value
Based on the responses, the researches recommend a focus on developing and maintaining the workforce skills required to realize value from intelligent automation and other emerging technologies.As intelligent automation and other disruptions continue to redefine industries, the types of skills these industries require are also evolving. 10;
Cost‐efficacy and pharmacoeconomics of psoriatic patients in Japan: Analysis from a single outpatient clinic
Authors: Takahashi Hidetoshi , Satoh Katsuhiko , Takagi Akiyoshi , Iizuka Hajime 
Published: April 2019

AbstractCompared with topical corticosteroids, topical combined active vitamin D3/corticosteroids and especially biologics are more expensive despite their marked efficacy in the treatment of psoriasis. The aim of the present study is to evaluate total costs as well as costs versus efficacy of various psoriasis treatments under the current Japanese health‐care insurance system. A prospective study was performed from the database of a single clinic located in Hokkaido Prefecture. Cost and quality of life of psoriatic patients were evaluated in a prospective manner during a total of 12 months from March 2017 until June 2018. Quality‐adjusted life year (QALY) of biologics was the highest among all treatments. Among the topical treatments, the cost versus efficacy of combined active vitamin D3/corticosteroid was lowest (¥10 557/1 Psoriasis Area and Severity Index). Furthermore, incremental cost‐effectiveness ratio (ICER) of combined active vitamin D3/corticosteroid was ¥1 024 031/QALY when compared with topical corticosteroid treatment alone. The topical combined active vitamin D3/corticosteroid treatment showed the best cost‐efficacy in terms of medical economic burden.

Published: April 2019

AbstractBackgroundTreatment outcome data for children with severe speech sound disorders with motor speech involvement (SSD‐MSI) are derived from Phase I clinical research studies. These studies have demonstrated positive improvements in speech production. Currently there is no research examining the optimal treatment dose frequency for this population. The results of this study, which is the first of its kind, will inform the delivery of effective services for this population.AimsTo investigate optimal treatment dose frequency for the Motor Speech Treatment Protocol (MSTP) for children with SSD‐MSI.Methods & ProceduresA total of 48 children (aged 43–47 months) with SSD‐MSI participated in the study. Participants received 45‐min MSTP intervention sessions either once per week (lower dose frequency) or twice per week (higher dose frequency) for a 10‐week period. Blinded outcome assessments were carried out at pre‐ and post‐intervention.Outcomes & ResultsTreatment‐related change was assessed at body structures, functions and activities participation level as per the World Health Organization's International Classification of Functioning framework: Children and Youth Version (ICF‐CY) framework WHO (2007). These measures are related to articulation, functional communication and speech intelligibility.One‐way analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed that for all variables the baseline scores were not statistically different (p > 0.05) between the two dose‐frequency groups. Overall, there was a significant main effect of Time (pre–post) across all variables (p < 0.01). However, repeated‐measures ANOVA did not result in any statistical interactions (Time × Dose frequency) for any of the variables tested (p > 0.05). Only marginal clinical advantages (< 4% change in intelligibility) were noted with the 10 extra sessions.Conclusions & ImplicationsOverall, the MSTP intervention approach in conjunction with home practice led to significant positive changes for all measures in children with SSD‐MSI. No statistical differences between high‐ and low‐dose‐frequency groups were observed for any of the variables. Clinical effects were examined using effect sizes, as well as changes in articulation, speech intelligibility and functional communication; these differed marginally between the two dose frequencies. This suggests limited benefits of 10 additional sessions per block. Thus, it is recommended that caregivers, speech–language therapists and policy‐makers perform a cost–benefit analysis before determining the dose frequency, when considering additional sessions per block.
The Impact of a Minimum‐Wage Increase on Temporary‐Contract Workers
Authors: McGuinness Seamus , Redmond Paul 
Published: April 2019

AbstractWe study the impact of the 2016 increase in the Irish minimum wage on the hours worked and the probability of job loss of minimum‐wage workers. We pay particular attention to temporary‐contract workers, who may be more susceptible to changes to their working conditions than permanent employees. The results indicate that the increase in the minimum wage had a negative and statistically significant effect on the hours worked of minimum‐wage workers, with an average reduction of approximately 0.6 hours per week. For temporary workers, the effect was greater, with a decline of approximately 3 hours per week. We find no evidence that the increase in the minimum wage led to an increased probability of becoming jobless in the six‐month period following the rate change, nor did it affect employment shares in sectors employing large numbers of minimum‐wage workers.
An example of public health training in emergency medicine
Authors: Hsiao Kai Hsun , Egerton‐Warburton Diana 
Published: April 2019

AbstractThere is growing recognition of the vital roles that Emergency Physicians can play in public health. Accordingly, there is a need for emergency medicine trainees to have opportunities to acquire relevant public health skillsets. This article provides an example of such a possibility. It describes the experience of an emergency medicine trainee in undertaking a 6 month training rotation at a Public Health Unit. The example illustrates the feasibility and benefits of a public health rotation for interested trainees, and offers recommendations for establishing such rotations. There are challenges, including eligibility requirements and funding. However, possible approaches exist at the individual and college levels to facilitate such training opportunities so that emergency medicine trainees can acquire necessary and valuable public health skills.
Antioxidant Activity In Vitro of N‐(1‐deoxy‐α‐d‐xylulos‐1‐yl)‐Phenylalanine: Comparison Among Maillard Reaction Intermediate, End‐Products and Xylose‐Phenylalanine
Authors: Cui Heping , Hayat Khizar , Zhang Xiaoming 
Published: April 2019

AbstractThe Maillard reaction end‐products (MRPs) and intermediate (MRI, N‐(1‐deoxy‐α‐D‐xylulos‐1‐yl)‐phenylalanine) derived from xylose (Xyl) and phenylalanine (Phe) model system were synthesized in an aqueous medium, and their antioxidant activity was evaluated. Both the MRPs and N‐(1‐deoxy‐α‐d‐xylulos‐1‐yl)‐phenylalanine exhibited the Fe2+ chelating activity at their addition concentration of 2 to 12 mg/mL. While their reducing power, free radical scavenging activity, and inhibition effect on lipid peroxidation were observed at a lower addition concentration of only 0.2 to 1.2 mg/mL. The free radical scavenging activity was improved with the increase in their concentration, and a time‐dependent scavenging effect of the MRI was also shown in the results. However, a weak chelating activity of Xyl‐Phe on Fe2+ in a concentration‐dependent manner was observed, but no significant free radical scavenging activity or reducing power of Xyl‐Phe was found. Based on these results, possible free radical scavenging pathway of the MRI was proposed. As the MRI showed lower antioxidant activity than MRPs, the application of the MRI in combination with MRPs as an antioxidant was proposed in cooked or semi‐processed foods to avoid the deterioration induced by oxidation.Practical ApplicationThe Maillard reaction intermediates (MRIs) showed antioxidant activity and could be applied in foods as both antioxidants and flavor enhancer. The MRIs will probably extend the shelf‐life of lipid rich foods and could be the substitute of artificial antioxidants.
Thermal Treatment Greatly Improves Storage Stability and Monodispersity of Pea Seed Ferritin
Authors: Tang Jiaying , Yu Yue , Chen Hai , Zhao Guanghua 
Published: April 2019

AbstractPlant ferritin in holo form is considered as a novel, ideal iron supplement for human nutrition in the 21st century, but its self‐degradation and self‐association features limit its application on account of the presence of extension peptide (EP), a specific domain only found in plant ferritin. Although reported chemicals such as Phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride (PMSF) can inhibit its self‐degradation, they are not edible and toxic. In the present work, we found that thermal treatment of pea seed ferritin (PSF) in the range of 60 to 80 °C can prolong the storage time of PSF from 3 days to at least 10 days. In the meanwhile, the aggregated form can be inhibited upon such treatment, therefore promoting its monodispersity. More important, such treatment had little effect on the natural shell‐like structure of holo PSF and its iron content. In contrast, thermal treatment at higher temperature (90 °C or above) resulted in a change in ferritin structure. These new findings pave the way to the application of plant ferritin as an iron supplement.Practical ApplicationThermal treatment at 60 to 80 °C can prolong the storage stability of PSF from 3 days to at least 10 days and prevent it from self‐aggregation without affecting the shell‐like structure. It has been known that the stability of PSF is closely associated with the bioavailability of iron within PSF. From the standpoint of nutrition, the above‐mentioned thermal treatment could be used as a cooking method in our daily life or in food industry to improve the bioavailability of ferritin iron, thereby being beneficial for exploration of plant ferritin as a novel, ideal iron supplement to fight against IDA.

Published: April 2019

AbstractThe purpose of this systematic review was to evaluate the literature regarding prophylactic treatment of intraocular pressure (IOP) elevation after uncomplicated cataract surgery to provide an evidence‐based guideline for cataract surgeons. The relevant literature was identified in EMBASE and PubMed. The risk of bias was assessed according to the ‘Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions’ and the ROBINS‐I tool. The Grading of Recommendation, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) criteria were used to rate the quality of evidence, and relevant data were systematically extracted to evaluate the pressure‐lowering effect of the active substances. The primary outcomes for this systematic review were the absolute and relative pressure‐lowering effect of the different drugs after 3–8 hr and 1 day after surgery. In total, 23 randomized controlled trials and one nonrandomized controlled study consisting of 45 treatment arms with 14 different active substances were included in the qualitative synthesis. According to the GRADE criteria, nine trials were graded as ‘high’ quality of evidence, 12 trials as ‘moderate’, while three trials were given the grade ‘low’ quality of evidence. The primary outcomes showed most consistency between the trials, which studied the effect of timolol, and presented a relative effect from 18.6% to 29.6% at 3–8 hr and 9.8% to 23.6% at day 1. This systematic review indicates that timolol, latanoprost and travoprost alone or medications containing timolol as an additive active substance, such as dorzolamide + timolol, brinzolamide + timolol and brimonidine + timolol, are characterized by a good relative IOP‐lowering effect, which can be gained by a single dose postoperatively.
Cytopathological features of secretory carcinoma of salivary glands and ancillary techniques in its diagnostics: impact of new Milan system for reporting salivary gland cytopathology
Authors: Miesbauerová Markéta , Tommola Satu , Šteiner Petr , Baněčková Martina , Skálová Alena , Kholová Ivana 
Published: April 2019

Secretory carcinoma (SC) of salivary glands is a newly described low‐grade malignancy characterized by the presence of ETV6 rearrangement. Only a few cases and very small series with cytomorphology were reported so far. Six cases of fine‐needle aspirations (FNAs) from afterward histologically, immunohistochemically and genetically confirmed SCs were retrieved from the archives of the authors. Ancillary immunocytochemistry (ICC) and translocation detection were performed on cell blocks (CBs). All aspirates were sufficiently cellular and cells were arranged in more or less cohesive groups with only mild nuclear polymorphism. The cytoplasm was eosinophilic, granulated and vacuolated, especially in CBs. Secretory material within the microcystic spaces was periodic acid‐Schiff (PAS) positive. Triple positivity of immunomarkers S‐100 protein, mammaglobin and vimentin was present. The proliferation index was low. Ancillary techniques suggested the possibility of SC in a few cytology cases; nevertheless, the final diagnosis was based on histomorphology, immunohistochemistry and genetics. The SC of salivary glands is detectable pre‐operatively using ICC and genetics. The presence of the diagnostic ETV6 rearrangement increases the accuracy of FNA to the maximum. According to the Milan system, cases genetically not confirmed should be categorized as Suspicious for Malignancy or Salivary Gland Neoplasm of Uncertain Malignant Potential (SUMP), both requiring surgery.
