Understanding in-library use data lifecycle within Greek and Spanish higher education ecosystems
Authors: Sant-Geronikolou Stavroula 
Published: October 2018

Purpose
As learning analytics, an emergent field, nowadays is seen as a way to break barriers to intra-institutional collaboration that will ultimately lead to educational deep transformational change, HE administrators and library and information science (LIS) researchers argue on the purpose of connecting in-library user activity data to campus-wide initiatives, their relevance and potential contribution to library strategic alignment with broader institutional goals. In this realm and framed within a PhD research, this paper aims to provide an overview of preliminary findings relevant to the exploration of the potential of Spanish and Greek academic libraries to becoming involved in learning analytics initiatives

Design/methodology/approach
Spanish and Greek public university library director large scale mini-survey and LIS undergraduate curricula desk research.

Findings
Analysis of public university library director mini-survey bring to light a series of negative correlations between different LRRC types, in-library use data collection and sharing practices and library-based learning analytics conversations, while LIS undergraduate curricula review identified a limited integration of learning analytics and assessment critical skills.

Originality/value
It is the first Greek and Spanish university library-specific study aiming to contribute to the dialogue on whether, how and when the wealth of in-library use-generated knowledge could be capitalized within future learning analytics initiatives.
Consortia from past to future
Authors: Nesta Frederick 
Published: October 2018

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to review the global history of library consortia from ancient times until the present and propose further development of consortia to address journal costs and research distribution.Design/methodology/approachThe global history of consortia is reviewed, with a concentration on the early years of the American Library Association.FindingsConsortia have proved their value in making libraries more efficient and in advancing research through combined efforts in developing indexes and catalogues.Research limitations/implicationsThe paper encourages libraries to build on their history of cooperation and extend it by linking their repositories, using their own strengths to battle excessive subscription fees, and become publishers in their own right.Practical implicationsConsortia are encouraged to work together to build a global repository, to stand firm against predatory pricing and to take the lead in the dissemination of scholarship.Originality/valueThis paper proposes that libraries join in broad regional consortia to oppose unjustifiable prices imposed by the major publishers and that libraries, with their institutions, work regionally and internationally to take control of the distribution of research.
Liner shipping alliances and their impact on shipping connectivity in Southeast Asia
Authors: Yap Wei Yim , Zahraei Seyed Mehdi 
Published: October 2018

Purpose
The liner shipping industry underwent a major round of change between 2014 and 2017 where the concentration ratio of the top ten carriers rose from 64 per cent in 2013 to 82 per cent by 2017. This paper aims to analyze the impact of these developments on the state of shipping connectivity for major container transshipment hubs in Southeast Asia, namely, Port Klang, Singapore and Tanjung Pelepas.

Design/methodology/approach
The developments in shipping services deployed before and after the latest round of reshuffling in the liner shipping industry were analyzed.

Findings
Significant service rationalization took place in the period that saw 38 per cent reduction in the number of shipping services called at the ports. Participation in alliance arrangement was revealed to be important for shipping lines to compete successfully on the Asia–Europe trade route in the new shipping landscape. Terminal operators should expect further rationalization of services should overcapacity persist. Maintaining hub status would require the ability to accommodate the strategic, operational and commercial requirements of the entire alliance rather than just focusing on the key shipping line.

Originality/value
This is the first paper to examine the effects of the latest round of consolidation in the liner shipping industry. In-depth analyses were conducted for shipping services where the service configuration was examined. The case of Southeast Asia and the Asia–Europe trade route was used to illustrate the impact with managerial and policy implications for shipping lines, terminal operators and port authorities.
On the relationship between goals, membership and network design in multi-agency “fusion” centres
Authors: Bright David , Whelan Chad 
Published: October 2018

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to adopt an organisational network perspective to examine the structural properties underpinning the design and governance of multi-agency fusion centres and related environments, focussing particularly on how they are formed and internally managed.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors conducted several focus groups and follow-up interviews with executive and operational members of Australia’s principal fusion centres and related environments.

Findings
The authors argue that in order to understand the internal dynamics of fusion centres, and the ways in which they form and function, the analysis of interrelationships between partners and potential partners is critical. The authors have demonstrated that a network model can assist in this type of analysis. For example, hub-and-spoke network structures appear to be a particularly effective solution to the centralisation-density trade-off for such inter-agency networks.

Originality/value
The authors use a novel approach that combines a goal-oriented network framework with the existing literature on fusion centres to synthesise key features of the network structure of fusion centres and associated processes of information sharing.
Determination of urban sprawl’s indicators toward sustainable urban development
Authors: Paydar Mohammad , Rahimi Enayatollah 
Published: October 2018

Purpose
Iran’s metropolitan areas are growing rapidly, and, among them, Shiraz has experienced a high rate of urban sprawl in recent decades. On the other hand, besides wasting the resources, urban sprawl does not follow the principles of sustainable urban development and its consideration would help to determine and employ the required type of sustainable urban development approach. The purpose of this paper is to assess urban sprawl in Shiraz.

Design/methodology/approach
First, the indicators and their weights for Shiraz’s sprawl assessment are identified through Delphi and analytical hierarchy process (AHP) methods. In addition, the degree of urban sprawl is assessed using the preference ranking organization method for enrichment evaluations (PROMETHEE).

Findings
The Delphi method produced the four criteria of “land use,” “urban fabric,” “social characteristics,” and “accessibility,” and “urban fabric” was the most important criterion per the AHP. Finally, the results of the PROMETHEE analysis indicated a high amount of urban sprawl in most of Shiraz’s municipal zones.

Practical implications
Therefore, due to the high degree of urban sprawl in Shiraz and its geographical limitations for horizontal development, a study on sustainable approaches to urban development in Shiraz, including Smart Growth and sustainable urban regeneration, seems mandatory for this city. However, this study indicates the requirement for more studies on urban sprawl in major cities of Iran, but by comparison of these findings with other relevant studies, it is inferred that using sustainable urban development approaches seems crucial for the majority of the cities in this country. Finally guidelines on how to impede urban sprawl and encourage sustainable urban development in Shiraz and Iranian cities as well as certain implications in this regard are discussed.

Originality/value
The findings of this study are expected to contribute valuable information for policy makers in terms of urban planning and the development of the cities in Iran.

Findings
Organizations need BRAVE HR professionals and leaders to create, implement and communicate key initiatives to ensure companies make decisions that support workplace cultures that people choose to join and remain a part of.

Originality/value
No amount of technology can replace the forward-thinking thought, communication and action that being BRAVE requires. This paper will help HR professionals gain a braver perspective.
Potentials and pitfalls in the analysis of bipartite networks to understand plant–microbe interactions in changing environments
Authors: Bennett Alison E. , Evans Darren M. , Powell Jeff R. 
Published: October 2018

Abstract

Complex networks of interactions involving multiple plant and microbial species have consequences for ecosystem productivity and energy movement through higher trophic levels, but the sensitivity of these networks to environmental change is uncertain. The fast developing field focused on the construction of ecological networks involving multiple plant and microbial species allows the structure, complexity and robustness of these networks to be examined. However, the choice of methods used to generate data and construct networks can significantly influence network‐level metrics.

Here, we provide background and guidance on approaches for building and analysing bipartite networks of plant–microbe interactions. Researchers need to explore these methods (and their advantages and pitfalls) to create high quality and reproducible data that allow comparisons within and between systems. In particular, we highlight the significant advances of DNA‐based approaches for characterising interactions between plants and microbes, while suggesting future work needed to help overcome their current limitations.

As more studies embrace these approaches, these guidelines will allow robust characterisation and analysis of networks of plant and microbial interactions, and further enable our understanding of the influence of environmental change on species interactions and, ultimately, communities and ecosystem functioning.

When do we have the power to detect biological interactions in spatial point patterns?
Authors: Rajala Tuomas , Olhede Sofia Charlotta , Murrell David John 
Published: October 2018

AbstractUncovering the roles of biotic interactions in assembling and maintaining species‐rich communities remains a major challenge in ecology. In plant communities, interactions between individuals of different species are expected to generate positive or negative spatial interspecific associations over short distances. Recent studies using individual‐based point pattern datasets have concluded that (a) detectable interspecific interactions are generally rare, but (b) are most common in communities with fewer species; and (c) the most abundant species tend to have the highest frequency of interactions. However, it is unclear how the detection of spatial interactions may change with the abundances of each species, or the scale and intensity of interactions. We ask if statistical power is sufficient to explain all three key results.We use a simple two‐species model, assuming no habitat associations, and where the abundances, scale and intensity of interactions are controlled to simulate point pattern data. In combination with an approximation to the variance of the spatial summary statistics that we sample, we investigate the power of current spatial point pattern methods to correctly reject the null model of pairwise species independence.We show the power to detect interactions is positively related to both the abundances of the species tested, and the intensity and scale of interactions, but negatively related to imbalance in abundances. Differences in detection power in combination with the abundance distributions found in natural communities are sufficient to explain all the three key empirical results, even if all pairwise interactions are identical. Critically, many hundreds of individuals of both species may be required to detect even intense interactions, implying current abundance thresholds for including species in the analyses are too low.Synthesis.The widespread failure to reject the null model of spatial interspecific independence could be due to low power of the tests rather than any key biological process. Since we do not model habitat associations, our results represent a first step in quantifying sample sizes required to make strong statements about the role of biotic interactions in diverse plant communities. However, power should be factored into analyses and considered when designing empirical studies.
Re‐imagining occupational wellbeing: Development of an evidence‐based framework
Authors: Saraswati Jaya Mai Rose , Milbourn Benjamin Tyler , Buchanan Angus James 
Published: October 2018

Background/aimOccupational therapists concern themselves with understanding engagement in everyday activity as a mode of facilitating wellbeing. However, there appears to be little consensus within the literature as to how engagement in meaningful activities contributes to wellbeing. Currently, there are no published evidence‐based frameworks for wellbeing to support occupational therapy practitioners to address wellbeing with clients. The purpose of the study was to establish an evidence‐based contemporary framework, domains and descriptive statements defining occupational wellbeing.MethodsA multiphase, exploratory sequential mixed methods design, using both qualitative and quantitative approaches was used. Two phases were identified for data collection. The first phase involved exploration of the domains of occupational wellbeing, through conducting a literature review and two focus groups. The Delphi technique was employed in the second phase to refine and corroborate the domains of occupational wellbeing with an expert panel.ResultsSix new domains of occupational wellbeing were generated in the first phase of the study, namely: Competence, autonomy, contentment and pleasure, identity, hope and belonging. In the second phase, five out of the six domains reached a consensus level of 70% or more. Hope was the only domain not to reach consensus.ConclusionThe framework for occupational wellbeing produced by this study was created using evidence‐based, replicable methodology and garnered support from a highly regarded expert key informant group of occupational therapy and occupational science academics. Further exploration to determine whether there is widespread support and applicability for these domains with normative and vulnerable population groups is required.
Feigning Hand Preference? A Case Report Preliminary Data
Authors: Merckelbach Harald , Jelicic Marko 
Published: October 2018

AbstractHand preference may be crucial in the forensic domain, notably in cases where the assailant is known to be left‐handed and the defendant claims to be right‐handed (or vice versa). In such cases, forensic psychologists or physicians may be asked to test the hand preference of the defendant. However, hand preference may be faked. The case described here illustrates this problem and addresses potential solutions. We also present preliminary data showing that a standard instrument for measuring handedness is sensitive to feigning. We conclude that when hand preference is determined, multiple sources of information should be assessed in order to identify possible feigning.

Published: October 2018

SummaryThe disposal of reject brine, a highly concentrated waste by‐product generated by various industrial processes, represents a major economic and environmental challenge. The common practice in dealing with the large amounts of brine generated is to dispose of it in a pond and allow it to evaporate. The rate of evaporation is therefore a key factor in the effectiveness of the management of these ponds. The addition of various dyes has previously been used as a method to increase the evaporation rate. In this study, a biological approach, using pigmented halophilic bacteria (as opposed to chemical dyes), was assessed. Two bacteria, an Arthrobacter sp. and a Planococcus sp. were selected due to their ability to increase the evaporation of synthetic brine. When using industrial brine, supplementation of the brine with an iron source was required to maintain the pigment production. Under these conditions, the Planococcus sp. CP5‐4 produced a carotenoid‐like pigment, which resulted in a 20% increase in the evaporation rate of the brine. Thus, the pigment production capability of halophilic bacteria could potentially be exploited as an effective step in the management of industrial reject brines, analogous to the crystallizer ponds used to mine salt from sea water.
Groundwaters at Risk: Wetland Loss Changes Sources, Lengthens Pathways, and Decelerates Rejuvenation of Groundwater Resources
Authors: Ameli Ali A. , Creed Irena F. 
Published: October 2018

AbstractWetland loss alters the hydrology of wetlandscapes in poorly understood ways. To quantify the effects of wetland loss on subsurface hydrology, a physically based hydrologic model that simulates the timing and pathways of subsurface hydrologic connections was coupled with wetland inventories over a 50‐year period during which substantial wetland loss occurred. The model revealed, based on vertical variations in saturated hydraulic conductivities, wetland loss of different degrees led to a contraction of catchment contributing areas to local surface waters but an expansion of contributing areas to the regional surface water body. This shift in groundwater contributing areas reflected (1) a decrease in baseflow contribution to the local surface water bodies, and (2) an increase in the transit time and length of subsurface hydrologic connections with an associated increase in the magnitude and age of baseflow discharging to the regional surface water body. The model also showed regions with thick permeable aquifers were particularly sensitive to the loss of wetlands. Our ability to predict these changes in hydrology of the watershed provides important support for designing science‐based policies to promote sustainable water resource management.
Impact of Phaeobacter inhibens on marine eukaryote‐associated microbial communities
Authors: Dittmann Karen K. , Sonnenschein Eva C. , Egan Suhelen , Gram Lone , Bentzon‐Tilia Mikkel 
Published: October 2018

SummaryBacteria–host interactions are universal in nature and have significant effects on host functionality. Bacterial secondary metabolites are believed to play key roles in such interactions as well as in interactions within the host‐associated microbial community. Hence, prominent secondary metabolite‐producing bacteria may be strong drivers of microbial community composition in natural host‐associated microbiomes. This has, however, not been rigorously tested, and the purpose of this study was to investigate how the secondary metabolite producer Phaeobacter inhibens affects the diversity and composition of microbiomes associated with the microalga Emiliania huxleyi and the European flat oyster, Ostrea edulis. Roseobacters were indigenous to both communities exhibiting relative abundances between 2.8% and 7.0%. Addition of P. inhibens caused substantial changes in the overall structure of the low‐complexity microbiome of E. huxleyi, but did not shape microbial community structure to the same degree in the more complex oyster microbiomes. Species‐specific interactions occurred in both microbiomes and specifically the abundances of other putative secondary metabolite‐producers such as vibrios and pseudoalteromonads were reduced. Thus, the impact of a bioactive strain like P. inhibens on host‐associated microbiomes depends on the complexity and composition of the existing microbiome.

AbstractAimsTo describe the polysubstance use patterns of heroin‐dependent patients and to understand the impact of polysubstance use patterns on relapse during the 5 years after completing compulsory rehabilitation programmes.DesignIn this secondary analysis, the baseline data of 503 heroin‐dependent patients were linked with their 5‐year follow‐up data from official records.SettingFour compulsory rehabilitation centres in Shanghai, China.ParticipantsA total of 564 heroin‐dependent patients who were discharged from Shanghai compulsory rehabilitation facilities in 2007 and 2008 were recruited. Among these, 503 patients with available follow‐up records were included in this analysis.MeasurementsThe baseline measurements included the Addiction Severity Index, the Temperament and Character Inventory and the Medical Outcomes Study Social Support Scale. Relapses after discharge from the compulsory rehabilitation centres were extracted monthly from the official electronic record system. Latent class analysis was used to identify different polysubstance use patterns. Associations between the identified latent classes and heroin use and the factors related to relapse during the 5‐year follow‐up were analysed with the Cox regression model.FindingsThree latent classes were identified in this cohort: (1) alcohol polydrug users (APU; 13.7%), (2) low polydrug users (LPU; 76.5%) and (3) amphetamine‐type stimulant polydrug users (ASPU; 9.7%). During the 5‐year follow‐up, 298 heroin patients relapsed, and the three groups showed different relapse rates (ASPU 69.4 versus LPU 60.5 versus APU 44.9%, P = 0.02). The average durations of abstinence for the three groups differed (ASPU 31.27 ± 3.41 months versus LPU 36.77 ± 1.19 months versus APU 42.46 ± 2.81 months, P = 0.02). Multivariate Cox regression analyses found that the LPU [hazard ratio (HR) = 1.63, 1.06–2.51] and ASPU (HR = 2.10, 1.24–3.56) classes were positively associated with the risk of heroin relapse.ConclusionPolydrug use patterns differ among heroin‐dependent patients in compulsory rehabilitation programmes in China. A history of polydrug use may predict heroin relapse risk among patients in those compulsory rehabilitation programmes.
