Effects of clothing ease and body postures on the air gap and clothing coverage
Authors: Wang Shitan , Wang Xiuhua , Wang Yunyi 
Published: June 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to determine the effects of clothing ease and body postures on the size and distribution of the air gap as well as the body coverage with the clothing.

Design/methodology/approach
Visual and quantitative analyses were conducted using a 3D body scanner and Geomagic Software. The air gap size and clothing area factor (fcl) in three test coverall and seven selected postures were calculated and compared.

Findings
The results indicated that both the clothing ease and body postures had a strong effect on the air gap and clothing coverage, especially the more complex the postures, the wider the range of influence. Nevertheless, these effects varied over body regions, being stronger at the lower body than the upper body. The air gap size at the left side of the body was generally larger than the right side. It was also found that the clothing coverage was linearly correlated with the air gap size and could be employed as an indicator to evaluate clothing protective capabilities.

Practical implications
The findings suggested that greater attention should be paid to the protection and flexibility at the lower body and asymmetrical distribution of the air gap should be considered in the future air gap modeling.

Originality/value
The outcomes provided useful information to improve the protective clothing and develop more realistic air gap models to simulate the heat and mass transfer.

Authors: Amirkhani Tayebe , Aghaz Asal , Sheikh Alireza 
Published: June 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to provide a dynamic model for implementing performance-based budgeting (PBB) in Ministry of Health and Medical Education (MOHME) in Iran.

Design/methodology/approach
The insights from PBB, organizational theory and theory of system were integrated based on system dynamic approach. The primary data were gathered in a two-step process through in-depth interviews and focus groups. The data gathered from the interviews were analyzed using thematic analysis and were considered as a basis for modeling based on system dynamic. The dynamic model was verified in the MOHME of Iran based on the data gathered from the focus group.

Findings
An analytical implementation model was adopted for the PBB, including comprehensive variables at both external (country) and internal (organizational) levels and accordingly the relationships were established among these variables based on system dynamics (SD). In addition, verifying this model in the MOHME of Iran sets the stage for gaining a deeper understanding of what is required for successful implementation of PBB.

Originality/value
This paper introduces an efficient modeling methodology based on SD, which explains how soft methodology can be used in management science for designing an implementation model of PBB in healthcare sector of Iran.

Authors: Aljanabi Abdulqadir Rahomee Ahmed , Hamasaleh Salah Hamasaeed , Mohd Noor Nor Azila 
Published: June 2019

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to test the mediating role of entrepreneurial orientation in the nexus between cultural diversity (CD) and firm operational performance (OP).Design/methodology/approachThe population of the current study is foreign industrial firms listed in the tax directorate of the Kurdistan region of Iraq (KRI). A stratified random sampling technique was applied to select 136 firms in KRI, with a response rate of 57 per cent. Smart-PLS was used to examine the hypothesised relationships in the proposed framework.FindingsThe results indicate that CD is significantly related to a firm’s OP. Entrepreneurial orientation (EO) is, in turn, significantly related to a firm’s OP. Furthermore, the results provide evidence that EO plays a mediating role in the nexus between CD and a firm’s OP.Originality/valueThe study highlights the importance of CD and EO in supporting a firm’s OP. In addition, the findings will provide scholars and managers a deeper understanding of the role of EO as a mediator through which CD enhances a firm’s OP.
Consumer cultural identity: local and global cultural identities and measurement implications
Authors: Strizhakova Yuliya , Coulter Robin 
Published: June 2019

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to offer a framework for considering the interplay between local (national) and global (world-based) identities and consumption practices with attention to various conceptualizations and measurements of consumer cultural identity.Design/methodology/approachThis is a conceptual paper reviewing major works on consumer cultural identities and offering a framework for future considerations of the interplay between global and local identities.FindingsThe framework identifies two dimensions which underlie consumer cultural identity conceptualizations and measurements: first, consumer engagement with globalization–localization discourses, and second, more general identity beliefs vs consumption-based identity beliefs. Clustering and categorical measure approaches (vs a compensatory approach) are preferred for identifying and exploring global/local/glocal and unengaged consumer cultural identity segments. Research foci should guide use of global and/or local general identity vs consumption-based identity beliefs as predictors of marketplace outcomes or as segmentation variables.Research limitations/implicationsThe conceptualization of consumer cultural identity is based on Berryet al.’s (1986) early work on acculturation and Arnett’s (2002) bicultural identity theorizing, and thus the authors acknowledge four consumer segments, those with: stronger global (weaker local) identity, stronger local (weaker global) identity, strong global and local identities and those unengaged with global–local discourses. The authors review measurement approaches to examine consumer cultural identity and determine that categorical and clustering (vs compensatory) approaches are consistent with the conceptualization of consumer cultural identity segments.Practical implicationsInternational marketers can gain insights into major conceptualizations and measurements of consumer cultural identity, and understand the advantages and limitations of different measurement approaches. The authors highlight two important dimensions underlying cultural identity that demand managers’ attention and consideration for strategic decisions. Social implications – this paper brings attention to various conceptualizations and measures of consumer cultural identity, highlighting the need to further examine differences between various cultural identity segments, specifically the unengaged consumers and glocally engaged consumers.Originality/valueThe paper provides a broadened lens to understanding conceptualizations and measurements of consumer cultural identity, identifying two dimensions underlying consumer cultural identity: consumer engagement with globalization–localization discourses, and more general identity beliefs vs consumption-based identity beliefs.
The Industrial Revolution remembers
Authors: Roulac Stephen 
Published: June 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to explore the significant structural forms and influencing factors that shape the adoption of technology advances and innovations in society, generally and the property sector specifically.

Design/methodology/approach
The paper uses action learning and interviews, literature review, thought experiment and comparative/conceptual/qualitative analysis.

Findings
For two centuries, the property sector was essentially “exempt from” and essentially a passive by standing in the industrialization and innovations that transformed the economy. In recent decades, the circumstances changed dramatically; the property sector is rapidly making up for the lost time.

Practical implications
The property market participants who long relied upon, while many property market participants prospered in relying upon long established practices – in some ways more reminiscent of a medieval guild than a contemporary long-standing practice with little attention to, or need to, be concerned about change forces – those circumstances have profoundly changed. Understanding the forces leading to that change and the implications of that change is essential for effective property involvements in the twenty-first century.

Social implications
Whereas the property sector largely was dominated by a product-focused supplier mentality, the major change forces are shifting more and more access, power to consumers. The result is that society shall have more robust and more user-oriented offerings of property goods and services.

Originality/value
This research distilling the results of the featured keynote address to the London 2000 Cutting Edge Conference provides, and is, the first thoughtful assessment, combining both rigor and relevance to address these profoundly important developments that are shaping and informing the property sector in the twenty-first century.
Catch and release? NHL expansion draft endowment effects
Authors: Tingling Peter M. , Masri Kamal , Chu Dani 
Published: June 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to investigate National Hockey League (NHL) expansion draft decisions to measure divestment aversion and endowment effects, and analyze bias and its affect on presumed rational analytic decision making.

Design/methodology/approach
A natural experiment with three variables (age, minutes played and presence of a prior relationship with a team’s management), filtered athletes that were exposed or protected to selection. A machine learning algorithm trained on a group of 17 teams was applied to the remaining 13 teams.

Findings
Athletes with pre-existing management relationships were 1.7 times more likely to be protected. Athletes playing fewer relative position minutes were less likely to be protected, as were older athletes. Athlete selection was predominantly determined by time on ice.

Research limitations/implications
This represents a single set of independent decisions using publicly available data absent of context. The results may not be generalizable beyond the NHL or sport.

Practical implications
The research confirms the affect of prior relationships on decision making and provides further evidence of measurable sub-optimal decision making.

Social implications
Decision making has implications throughout human resources and impacts competitiveness and productivity. This adds to the need for managers to recognize and implement de-biasing in areas such as hiring, performance appraisal and downsizing.

Originality/value
This natural experiment involving high-stakes decision makers confirms bias in a setting that has been dominated by students, low stakes or artificial settings.
Two cases of aplasia cutis congenita with hair collar signs and macrophage hyperplasia
Authors: Takayama Eriko , Harada Atsuko , Ikura Yoshihiro , Seto Hidenobu 
Published: June 2019

AbstractWe report two cases of aplasia cutis congenita associated with hair collar signs and hemangioma simplex in their parietal regions. A hair collar sign and a hemangioma are known to suggest the possibility of underlying neural tube defects. However, no obvious bone defects or heterotopic neural tissue were observed in the imaging and histopathological examinations. Nevertheless, some pathological observations similar in both cases suggested abnormalities in the process of ectodermal fusion. A flat epidermis and a lack of appendages were recognized. Both cases also exhibited the presence of melanocytes in a portion of the superficial dermal layer. An increase in the number of macrophages was observed in the dermal area with neither elastic fibers nor normal collagen fibers. The peripheral hair follicles grew horizontally.

Published: June 2019

AbstractPyrexia is the most common adverse event in patients with melanoma or other solid organ malignancies that are treated with the combination of dabrafenib and trametinib (combi‐DT). Given the expanded indication for combi‐DT, management of pyrexia is a high priority. No previous case series has revealed which blood markers reflect the course of pyrexia and there is no consensus on the management strategy for pyrexia. The current case series study describes the utility of neutrophil count (NC), neutrophil ratio (NR) and C‐reactive protein (CRP) in 11 patients with metastatic melanoma and BRAF V600 mutations who experienced pyrexia during combi‐DT in our department. We also described the clinical course of pyrexia episodes that were managed with the concomitant use of oral prednisolone and immediate withdrawal of combi‐DT. Consequently, the analysis of 37 pyrexia episodes in 11 patients showed that the differences in NC, NR and CRP at the onset of pyrexia were significantly different from those at pyretolysis (P = 0.01, 0.006 and 0.03, respectively). Additionally, in the 24 pyrexia episodes treated with the concomitant use of oral prednisolone and the immediate withdrawal of combi‐DT, the mean duration of pyrexia and the mean time to restart combi‐DT were 3 and 6 days, respectively. Therefore, the blood markers that reflect the course of pyrexia during combi‐DT may be helpful for the appropriate management of pyrexia; also, our management strategy for pyrexia successfully reduced the duration of pyrexia and did not require a long‐term drug holiday. Further large‐scale studies are required to verify our results.
Social work reframed? The experiences of social workers applying systemic ideas in child protection
Authors: Flynn Kiran 
Published: June 2019

The crossover between systemic psychotherapy and social work has received renewed attention in recent years. Expanding numbers of local authorities are commissioning systemic training and encouraging social workers to apply these ideas within the field of child protection. It is therefore vital and timely to listen to social workers’ experiences, in order to attain feedback on how this can best be achieved. This research study interviewed five case‐holding social workers in a London local authority child protection team about their experiences, and used Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) to analyse the data. This paper discusses two themes: ‘the importance of the organisation’ and ‘the process of applying learning’. Recommendations for improvements are made for academic and employment organisations from the research findings. The overall argument is that there is a significant opportunity for the field of systemic psychotherapy to learn from and improve the social work field, and vice versa.Practitioner points

Organisational stability, clarity and commitment to systemic practice has a significant impact on social workers’ abilities to apply systemic ideas in their practice

Social workers value being able to put systemic ideas into practice and learning the ‘doing’ of as well as the ‘thinking’ behind systemic practice

Systemic psychotherapy has an opportunity to learn from its application to social work, particularly if applied to diverse workforces, who in turn work with diverse client groups
Consequences of mental and physical health for reentry and recidivism: Toward a health‐based model of desistance*
Authors: Link Nathan W. , Ward Jeffrey T. , Stansfield Richard 
Published: June 2019

AbstractDuring the last few decades, criminologists have identified several adult roles and statuses, including employment, positive family relations, and economic stability, as critical for promoting successful reintegration and desistance. Very few researchers, however, have investigated the conditions that serve to bring about these transitions and successes crucial for behavior change. As a complement to a burgeoning amount of literature on the impact of incarceration on health, we emphasize the reverse: Health has important implications for reentry outcomes and reincarceration. Informed by multiple disciplines, we advance a health‐based model of desistance in which both mental and physical dimensions of health affect life chances in the employment and family realms and ultimately recidivism. Investigating this issue with longitudinal data from the Serious and Violent Offender Reentry Initiative (SVORI) and structural equation models, we find overall support for the health‐based model of desistance. Our results indicate several significant pathways through which both manifestations of health influence employment, family conflict, financial problems, and crime and reincarceration. The findings highlight the need for implementation of correctional and transitional policies to improve health among the incarcerated and avert health‐related reentry failures.

Published: June 2019

AbstractObjectiveDermatomyositis (DM) is a heterogeneous disease with a wide range of clinical manifestations. The aim of the present study was to identify the clinical subtypes of DM by applying cluster analysis.MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 720 DM patients and selected 21 variables for analysis, including clinical characteristics, laboratory findings, and comorbidities. Principal component analysis (PCA) was first conducted to transform the 21 variables into independent principal components. Patient classification was then performed using cluster analysis based on the PCA‐transformed data. The relationships among the clinical variables were also assessed.ResultsWe transformed the 21 clinical variables into nine independent principal components by PCA and identified six distinct subgroups. Cluster A was composed of two sub‐clusters of patients with classical DM and classical DM with minimal organ involvement. Cluster B patients were older and had malignancies. Cluster C was characterized by interstitial lung disease (ILD), skin ulcers, and minimal muscle involvement. Cluster D included patients with prominent lung, muscle, and skin involvement. Cluster E contained DM patients with other connective tissue diseases. Cluster F included all patients with myocarditis and prominent myositis and ILD. We found significant differences in treatment across the six clusters, with clusters E, C and D being more likely to receive aggressive immunosuppressive therapy.ConclusionWe applied cluster analysis to a large group of DM patients and identified 6 clinical subgroups, underscoring the need for better phenotypic characterization to help develop individualized treatments and improve prognosis.
Genome‐wide association study identifies energy metabolism genes for resistance to ketosis in Chinese Holstein cattle

Published: June 2019

SummaryKetosis (KET) is one common metabolic disorder that occurs mainly in early lactation and affects the dairy industry with significant economic losses. Cows with ketosis have lower milk yield and reproductive performance and greater risk of other periparturient diseases. As a metabolic disease, the pathogenesis of KET is multifactorial. To better understand the genetic background of KET, a genome‐wide association study was performed using the Illumina BovineSNP50 BeadChip. Single‐step genomic BLUP methodology was used to incorporate genomic data into a threshold‐liability model. Results of the GWAS are reported as the proportion of variance explained by 20‐SNP windows. Six genomic regions on Bos taurus autosomes 10, 13, 14 and 25 showed association with KET. Most interestingly, several candidate genes, including previously reported genes (BMP4, HNF4A and APOBR) and newly identified genes (SOCS4, GCH1, ATG14, RGS6, CYP7A1 and MAPK3), are involved in insulin metabolism or lipid metabolism, implicating the contribution of energy‐metabolism‐associated genes to the genetic basis of KET. Our results provide new information about the underlying biology and molecular mechanisms associated with KET. Future studies that combine genomic variation analysis and functional gene information may help elucidate the biology of KET.
Polledness in Argentinean Creole cattle, five centuries surviving

Published: June 2019

SummaryPolledness has been shown to have autosomal Mendelian inheritance, with the polled locus being dominant to the horned locus. This trait was mapped to the BTA1 centromeric end in several breeds. One of the distinctive attributes of Creole cattle, such as the Argentinean Creole, is the presence of long, lyre‐shaped horns. However, polled native animals were reported before the introduction of modern selected European breeds. Here, we studied the origin of the polled mutation, either independent or introgressed, in a Creole line from the Creole cattle founder group at the IIACS‐INTA Leales Experimental Station (northwest Argentina). The study sample (65 animals: 26 horned and 39 polled) was genotyped using high‐density SNP microarrays and three previously reported genetic markers (P202ID, P80kbID and PG). A genome‐wide association study, selection signatures, linkage disequilibrium analysis and copy number variations were used to detect the responsible region and the segregating haplotypes/alleles. The interval mapped in the Leales herd (1.23–2.13 Mb) overlapped with the region previously reported in several European cattle breeds, suggesting that the same locus could be segregating in this population. The previously reported variants PF and PG were not detected, thus dismissing the Holstein‐Friesian and Nellore origins of the polled phenotype in this native breed. Conversely, the presence of the Celtic variant PC suggests an almost complete co‐segregation. The cluster analysis rejected the hypothesis of recent introgression, which is compatible with the historical record of polled Creole cattle in northwest Argentina.

Published: June 2019

SummaryIn this study, we conducted genomic prediction for two Yorkshire purebred populations (Yichun and Chifeng) from two different provinces of China that both had a limited population size. Two growth traits (age adjusted to 100 kg weight, AGE; back‐fat thickness adjusted to 100 kg weight, BF) and one reproduction trait (total number of piglets born, TNB) were analyzed with four prediction strategies: one‐population BLUP, joint two‐population BLUP, one‐population single‐step BLUP (SSBLUP) and joint two‐population SSBLUP. Our results illustrate that accuracies of genomic estimated breeding values were improved for BF and TNB for the Yichun population and for BF for the Chifeng population by genomic prediction (one‐population SSBLUP and joint two‐population SSBLUP). The accuracy of TNB for the Yichun population was increased two fold when comparing the one‐population SSBLUP to the one‐population BLUP prediction. Meanwhile, prediction biases were dramatically reduced for AGE for the Yichun population and for TNB for the Chifeng population. The conclusions of this study are as follows: first, genomic prediction is useful for improving prediction accuracy for purebred pig breeding farms with a limited population size; second, joint genomic prediction for different populations of the same breed with certain genetic links has the trend to further improve prediction accuracy.
