Influences of VR technology on the effect of museum narrative based on embodied cognitive theory: a case study of the opium war museum
Authors: Jiang Liao , Chen Yi , Sun Yao 
Published: October 2024

Purpose
With an increasing array of new technologies and devices emerging as novel approaches to museum narratives, scholars are intrigued by the narrative effect they produce. Within this context, this study aims to conduct a quantitative case study on the influencing mechanisms among technology embodiment, technology attachment, museum narrative effect and perceived museum image based on embodied cognitive theory (ECT).

Design/methodology/approach
By introducing the Opium War Museum, Dongguan City, Guangdong Province, China, as an empirical case study, the authors collected data, through questionnaires, from 425 visitors who had experienced virtual reality (VR) technology in the museum. The data was then analyzed by using the maximum likelihood estimate for structural equation modeling.

Findings
Technology embodiment and technology attachment have significant positive correlations with the museum narrative effect. Technology attachment provides a partial mediating effect between technology embodiment and the museum narrative effect. The perceived museum image moderates such mediating effects of technology attachment.

Originality/value
This study brings the emerging idea of developing visitor experiences with VR through expanding the applications of ECT in the museum scenario. First, the authors identified the underlying interaction patterns between various factors that influence the museum narrative effect. Second, the authors verified that technology can optimize the museum narrative effect and help the creative transformation of cultural relics and culture. This study also provides practical recommendations to improve the technological service experience and strengthen the “audience-centric” management concept of museums
Buying what matters: towards a value model allowing to implement policy preference in public procurement
Authors: Kodym Jakub 
Published: October 2024

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to promote value as a core concept enabling innovative and socially responsible procurement. It suggests how organisations should analyse value from their own perspective and from that of their stakeholders and users, to keep pace with the expectations of today's society.

Design/methodology/approach
The study examines developments in recent legislation and case law of the EU as well as observed good practice. It builds on these bases and on economic and behavioural approaches to define value and embed it in the awarding framework of public contracts.

Findings
While traditional “prescriptive” approaches face legality and efficiency challenges as buyers must take into account societal considerations, this change of perspective allows to pursue policies in a more transparent and defendable manner. The study proposes a simple value model as a framework for such analysis.

Research limitations/implications
The study opens a field for further qualitative and comparative research, measuring or determining how active implementation of value approaches improve efficiency and/or lead to better fulfilment of procurement and policy objectives.

Practical implications
Reasoning in terms of value can be further developed into enabling measures promoting sustainable sourcing, support of local and small businesses and bonds with communities.

Social implications
An explicit introduction of value as a procurement enabler should help organisations to implement their sustainability policies and to better use public procurement as a strategic instrument, and even as a driver of social innovation.

Originality/value
In spite of the pressing practical challenges related to value in public procurement, literature on this topic is scarce and has mostly tackled the problematics from a purely legal or theoretical point of view. This paper tends to address it from different and more practical perspectives, such as contribution of procurement to governance; linking public procurement and public policy; meaning of innovation from transaction (market) perspective and its implications for tendering.
Painting workshops for people living with dementia as a means of expression and communication: revelations from our elders
Authors: Wyatt Megan , Boddington Paula 
Published: October 2024

Purpose
This study aims to explore art workshops for people living with dementia as a process enabling creative expression and fostering communication with others.

Design/methodology/approach
To enable detailed exploration of the expressive powers of painting and drawing, the authors draw several examples from a series of painting workshops for people living with dementia, which formed part of the PPI for research into experiences of restraint within care.

Findings
Artwork enabled personal expression, facilitated conversation with others and revealed hidden knowledge and abilities, but also revealed dangers of miscommunication, specifically here related to technological changes and spirituality.

Research limitations/implications
Individual differences in responses to painting will exist meaning that the specific findings outlined here are unique to individuals and not always generalisable. This follows from the quality of the individual communication that may be enabled by painting, meaning that close attention to each person is both fostered and required.

Practical implications
Art activities can provide a means to enable deep personal expression and agency in people living with dementia, which can contribute to countering dehumanisation.

Social implications
Attention to the process of painting can be beneficial in fostering verbal and non-verbal communication with individuals who have difficulties in communication. Attention to cultural issues in care needs to incorporate understanding of spiritual and religious issues and take note of gaps in understanding related to technological as well as cultural changes between generations.

Originality/value
Much work in this area explores art activities for people living with dementia in terms of beneficial outcomes. This work explores the creative process inherent in painting, drawing upon insights from art theory and providing in-depth individual insights through case studies. Both researchers in this study are artists and the work drew upon their understanding of the processes of painting.

Published: October 2024

AbstractJapan is one of the rare non‐tropical countries with documented cases of Buruli ulcer (BU). Mycobacterium ulcerans subsp. shinshuense has been identified as the causative agent. The first report of BU in Japan dates back to 1982, with sporadic reports thereafter. Recently, the number of cases has been on the increase, and 50 cases (57.7%) are from the past decade alone, out of a total of 87 cases reported to date. Japan's well‐developed healthcare facilities play a crucial role in enabling detailed investigations and providing appropriate treatment for patients, contributing to a favorable prognosis. However, the rarity of the disease results in lack of awareness among healthcare professionals, leading to frequent delays in diagnosis. This article aims to offer an updated overview of BU cases in Japan and to raise awareness of BU among dermatologists and other healthcare professionals in a non‐endemic setting.

Published: October 2024

AbstractWing morphology plays a pivotal role in avian flight capabilities and ecological adaptations across diverse environments. Consequently, wing measurement data are used frequently in comparative analyses and hypothesis exploration to understand avian evolution. Among the parameters representing wing morphology, wingspan and wing area are relatively challenging to obtain compared to simpler measures such as wing length and hand‐wing index. This study aimed to enhance accessibility to existing wingspan and wing area data by compiling measurements from 25 literature sources, in addition to unpublished data. The dataset covers 856 species across 95 families and 28 orders. Although the inclusion proportion varies widely among orders, ranging from 0% to 100%, this initial dataset forms a foundation for a more comprehensive database on avian wing morphology. The complete dataset for this abstract published in the Data Paper section of the journal is available in electronic format in MetaCat in JaLTER at https://jalter.diasjp.net/data/ERDP-2024-04. [Correction added on 6 January 2025, after first online publication: The URL for the dataset has been updated.] The dataset will be updated continuously, with the latest version available on figshare in CSV and Microsoft Excel formats (https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.23537892.v2).
Authenticity and high performance: Nonmarket social, public and media strategies of foreign SMEs during a black swan event
Authors: Gorostidi‐Martinez Haritz , Jiang Qing Yun , Zhao Xiao Kang 
Published: October 2024

AbstractNonmarket (NM) strategy is an emerging concept, similar to the notion of NM social, public and media strategy (SPMS). Previous literature has predominantly focused on larger corporations, often overlooking smaller enterprises. Additionally, much of the existing research has been centred on developed markets, leaving a gap in qualitative research. The current analysis seeks to elucidate how foreign small and medium‐sized enterprises (FSMEs) in transitional markets, such as Shanghai, adopt specific NM SPMS to mitigate the liability of foreignness (LOF) during a pandemic. The study utilizes a CGT approach, employing semi‐structured interviews with 27 participants, including foreign entrepreneurs and digital marketing specialists. Additionally, qualitative data was analysed comprehensively using Atlas.ti 9 software. The qualitative methodology implementation resulted in the creation of the authenticity and high performance framework from where specific strategies and general implications are presented. The study highlights two principal themes: (1) The need for increased flexibility and speed in social media message communication and (2) Customized FSME strategies through digital marketing—a never‐going‐back market digitalization. The second theme is subdivided into (a) Tailored public relations for FSMEs. (b) An increased need for internal cohesion—fostering a stable mindset and positive rapport among staff. (c) An increased need for trialling new target customers. (d) Creating a relatable story—showing a particular vulnerability can be viral and (e) Maintaining a strong reputation for operational performance.
Discontinuous Distribution of Test Statistics Around Significance Thresholds in Empirical Accounting Studies
Authors: CHANG XIN , GAO HUASHENG , LI WEI 
Published: October 2024

ABSTRACTExamining test statistics from articles in six leading accounting journals, we detect discontinuities in their distributions around conventional significance thresholds (p‐values of 0.05 and 0.01) and find an unusual abundance of test statistics that are just significant. Further analysis reveals that these discontinuities are more prominent in studies with smaller samples and are more salient in experimental than in archival studies. The discontinuity discrepancy between experimental and archival studies relates to several proxies for researcher degrees of freedom. Nevertheless, this evidence does not imply that experimental research is more prone to questionable research practices than archival studies. Overall, our findings speak to the concern of whether accounting researchers could exercise undisclosed discretion to obtain and report statistically significant results. Based on our results, a healthy skepticism of some just‐significant test statistics is warranted.
The miRNA–mRNA modules enhance juvenile hormone biosynthesis for insect vitellogenesis and egg production

Published: October 2024

AbstractIn addition to preventing precocious larval metamorphosis, juvenile hormone (JH), synthesized in corpora allata (CA), is known to stimulate female reproduction of insects. JH titer is extremely low or absent during metamorphosis, but thereafter rapidly increases in the previtellogenic stage and rises to a peak in the vitellogenic phase. However, the mechanisms underlying the biosynthesis of high levels of JH in adults remain unclear. We found in this study that 12 genes involved in JH synthesis pathway were highly expressed in the CA of adult locusts. By transcriptome analysis and quantitative real‐time – polymerase chain reaction validation, a total of 106 evolutionary conserved micro RNAs (miRNAs) and 163 species‐specific miRNAs were identified in locust CA. Dual‐luciferase assay revealed that 17 miRNAs bound to 10 JH synthesis genes (JHSGs) and downregulated their expression. These miRNAs were expressed in low levels during vitellogenic stage, which was oppositive from that of targeting JHSGs. Six miRNAs including miR‐971‐3p, miR‐31a, miR‐9‐5p, miR‐1‐3p, miR‐315, and miR‐282 were selected for function study. Co‐application of agomiRs resulted in significantly decreased levels of targeting JHSGs, accompanied by significantly reduced vitellogenin expression as well as arrested ovarian development. The data suggest that multiple miRNAs expressed synchronously at low levels in the vitellogenic phase, thereby ensuring the high levels of JHSG expression to facilitate JH biosynthesis required for JH‐dependent female reproduction. The findings provide important information for deciphering miRNA—messenger RNA modules for JH biosynthesis as well as JH regulation of insect metamorphosis and reproduction.

Published: October 2024

AbstractBackgroundFeeling in control in a sexual situation may vary as a function of contextual factors, such as whether alcohol is used prior to a sexual experience. Alcohol protective behavioral strategies (PBS) reduce adverse alcohol‐related outcomes and may promote greater sense of control in sexual situations. It was hypothesized that, at the day level, (1) greater alcohol use would be associated with lower likelihood of feeling in control in sexual situations, (2) more PBS would be associated with a greater likelihood of feeling in control, and (3) more PBS would weaken the negative association between alcohol use and sexual control.MethodsFor 28 days, daily data on feeling in control during sex, number of drinks, and PBS were collected from young adults who engage in high‐intensity drinking (8+/10+ drinks in a sitting for women/men). A sample of 112 young adults (age 18–29, 61% female; 78.6% White; 9.8% Hispanic/Latino) reported sex after alcohol use at least once (n = 322 days total). Alcohol use, PBS (total as well as subtype: stopping/limiting drinking [SLD], manner of drinking [MD], and serious harm reduction [SHR]), and alcohol use by PBS interactions were tested as day‐level correlates of sexual control via hierarchical generalized linear modeling.ResultsA significant interaction between alcohol and total PBS on control was observed. At low levels of PBS, more drinks were related to lower likelihood of feeling in control during sex. At high levels of PBS, number of drinks was unrelated to control. A similar pattern of results was observed when examining the PBS subscale of SLD. No main effects of daily PBS or alcohol use on control were observed.ConclusionsFindings provide insight into feeling in control when drinking alcohol and engaging in sex, at varying levels of PBS. Interventions focused on harm reduction strategies have the potential to reduce risk of alcohol‐related adverse sexual experiences.
Flea beetles in spring oilseed rape differ in phenology and habitat choices for reproduction and overwintering—Implications for pest management
Authors: Boetzl Fabian A. , Malsher Gerard , Bommarco Riccardo , Lundin Ola 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Spring oilseed rape is severely affected by early season herbivory of various flea beetle species. Flea beetle pest management strategies with less reliance on conventional chemical insecticides are direly needed. However, the current knowledge of flea beetle ecologies and life cycles is insufficient to design and inform such strategies effectively.
Using a combination of pitfall and emergence traps, we followed the life cycles of flea beetles in 13 spring oilseed rape fields in south central Sweden, measuring densities in three sampling seasons: spring activity at crop seedling stage, summer emergence of the new generation, and emergence of overwintered adults in the following spring in the adjacent grassy field margins.
We found a strong positive relationship between densities of emerging Phyllotreta atra, P. striolata and P. undulata in summer and their densities earlier in spring. Flea beetle assemblage composition differed across the seasons, driven by changes in the relative abundances of different species. While assemblages emerging in summer were filtered for species reproducing in spring oilseed rape, assemblages emerging from the grassy field margins in the following spring were again more heterogeneous.
Spring activity peaks and summer emergence peaks differed among species, with P. vittula having an earlier activity peak and emerging earlier than most other species.
This knowledge of spatiotemporal habitat use can contribute to a more effective flea beetle management in spring oilseed rape. Especially summer emergence in the fields became apparent as a so far unexplored point in time to control flea beetle pests.
The implicit market price of soil erosion: An estimation using a hedonic model with spatial spillovers
Authors: Caffera Marcelo , Lavín Felipe Vásquez , Barrientos Manuel , Anza Daniel Rodríguez , Carrasco‐Letelier Leonidas 
Published: October 2024

AbstractWe estimate the implicit market price of soil erosion using quarterly data of 2824 agricultural farms traded in Uruguay between 2000 and 2014. A unique feature of our estimation is that we allow for possible spatial spillovers. We find evidence of a negative and statistically significant association between erosion and land values. On average, an additional loss of 1% of the original topsoil due to erosion is associated with a direct (own) decrease of .24% in the per‐hectare price of agricultural land (P‐value: .012, 95% CI: −.0042, −.0005). In 2023 dollars, this is equivalent to a decrease of USD 8.7 in the average price per hectare, or USD 1130 in the price of the average farm. In terms of tons of soil, the average value is $.24 a ton. Finally, considering the 50 km radius of our spatial model, the value of losing 1% of topsoil is $15.8 million. The value of our estimates is sensitive to our measure of erosion and our specification of the spatial‐temporal weighting matrix, but the statistical association is robust.
Applying support vector machines to a diagnostic classification model for polytomous attributes in small‐sample contexts
Authors: Li Xiaoyu , Dong Shenghong , Guo Shaoyang , Zheng Chanjin 
Published: October 2024

AbstractOver several years, the evaluation of polytomous attributes in small‐sample settings has posed a challenge to the application of cognitive diagnosis models. To enhance classification precision, the support vector machine (SVM) was introduced for estimating polytomous attribution, given its proven feasibility for dichotomous cases. Two simulation studies and an empirical study assessed the impact of various factors on SVM classification performance, including training sample size, attribute structures, guessing/slipping levels, number of attributes, number of attribute levels, and number of items. The results indicated that SVM outperformed the pG‐DINA model in classification accuracy under dependent attribute structures and small sample sizes. SVM performance improved with an increased number of items but declined with higher guessing/slipping levels, more attributes, and more attribute levels. Empirical data further validated the application and advantages of SVMs.
Landscapes on the edge
Authors: Sherren Kate 
Published: October 2024

AbstractMany landscapes are on the edge literally, particularly here on the Atlantic Coast of Canada. But landscapes everywhere are on the edge metaphorically: on the edge of change. Tackling the collective challenges we face, and redefining a “good life” in these new circumstances, will likely transform the places and landscapes that we care about. Yet change is hard and it is felt unevenly across space and social strata. We often instinctively feel that the landscapes of the present should dominate the future—an idea I've been calling “climax thinking”—but in many cases, those current landscape settings solve old problems and cause new ones. Drawing on recent empirical Atlantic research about renewable energy and coastal adaptation, this lecture explores some of the cultural shifts required to reimagine our landscapes and to meet the challenges ahead, identifying key roles for geographers along the way.

ABSTRACTObjectiveAssess whether horizontal ridge augmentation with guided bone regeneration (GBR) using deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM), autologous bone, and a resorbable collagen membrane supports successful implant placement.Materials and MethodsThis open, prospective, single‐cohort, multicenter clinical study included patients with ridge defects that required GBR prior to implant insertion. The primary endpoint was radiologically assessed bone gain after 8 months post‐GBR, measured at the center of planned implant sites. Secondary endpoints included implant survival and success, marginal bone levels (MBLs), MBL changes, and soft tissue health.ResultsOf 45 patients evaluated 8 months post‐GBR, nine experienced dehiscence in the first 3 weeks of the healing period. GBR led to radiologically determined mean bone width gain of 4.0 ± 1.5 mm and 4.8 ± 1.7 mm, measured 1 and 3 mm from the top of the crest, respectively, allowing successful implant placement in 44 patients (97.8%). The cumulative implant survival and success rates were 98.9% and 95.5%, respectively. MBLs were stable: −1.18 ± 0.64 mm at definitive prosthesis placement (DPP) and − 1.07 ± 0.74 mm at 1 year. Soft tissue health and esthetics (plaque and bleeding indices, papilla, keratinized mucosa, and pink esthetic score) improved from DPP to 1 year. Patients were highly satisfied with implant function and esthetics, and their oral health‐related quality of life improved.ConclusionsGBR using DBBM and a collagen membrane offered a safe and effective treatment option for horizontal ridge augmentation sufficient to support implant‐based tooth rehabilitation.Trial RegistrationRegistered at ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03028922 (registrations sites, as above listed affiliations, first posted January 23, 2017)
