Using RBM approach in managing projects beyond the development sector
Authors: Ssegawa Joseph Kaggwa , Muzinda Mark 
Published: March 2016

Purpose
– Result-based management (RBM) is common approach used in the development sector to initiate, plan and implement projects. However, to the knowledge of the authors the approach has hardly been used in delivering projects in other sectors, for example, information technology, infrastructure or business. The purpose of this paper is to document a case study in which the RBM approach was used to guide the delivery of a business project in Botswana.

Design/methodology/approach
– A case study strategy was used to document the delivery process of the project. Data were collected from a variety of sources that included review of documents, interviews, focus discussions and a site visit. The content analysis technique was used to analyse the collected data.

Findings
– The case illustrates the possibility of using the RBM approach to initiate, plan and implement a project in the business sector.

Research limitations/implications
– Being a case study, the approach needs to be tested with more case studies.

Practical implications
– Apart from illustrating the possible use of RBM approach, the paper illustrates systematic processes used in the case study for project delivery. It also outlines some of the resultant challenges which may be appreciated by practitioners, academics and trainees.

Originality/value
– The use of RBM approach in guiding the delivery of a business project.
Brand analysis of global and local banks in India: a study of young consumers
Authors: Srivastava Ankur , Dey Dipanjan Kumar 
Published: March 2016

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to investigate the perceived differences in brand analysis dimensions, such as brand-specific association (represented by perceived brand quality, brand price, brand emotional value and brand social value), brand impressions (represented by perceived brand image and general brand awareness) and brand credibility (represented by perceived brand trustworthiness and brand expertise), for young consumers in the context of banking services in India. All three types of banks operating in the Indian market are compared: state-owned banks, private (Indian) banks and global (foreign) banks.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors follow a cross-sectional design in this study. A structured questionnaire is created with the help of well-established scales. Reliability and validity tests are performed on all the dimensions of the scale. Exploratory factor analysis, ANOVA and ordinary least squared multiple regression analysis are performed to test the proposed hypotheses empirically.

Findings
The authors report significant differences in perceptions among young consumers among the three types of banks for all the dimensions of brand-specific associations, that is, perceived quality, perceived price, perceived brand social value and perceived brand emotional value. The authors find partial support for the hypotheses presented in this study concerning differences in three bank types among young consumers related to general brand impressions and brand credibility.

Practical implications
The results provide insights on the perceptions of the global and local brands among young consumers in the context of the banking industry. This will aid practitioners in assessing the relative position of their brands with respect to their global/local counterparts. These insights would help brand managers to design effective marketing mix strategies to target the young Indian consumers more effectively.

Originality/value
This is the first study that includes the concept of brand credibility along with brand-specific associations and general brand impression in investigating purchase intention of banking services by young consumers.
Using a semantic wiki for technology forecast and technology monitoring
Authors: Färber Michael 
Published: March 2016

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to present extensions of Semantic MediaWiki for the purpose of technology forecast and technology monitoring. The user friendliness and applicability of the components is evaluated by task-based user studies.

Design/methodology/approach
– Based on the requirements given by potential end users (technology experts), visualization possibilities were designed and implemented. Potential users used the new features of technology forecast and monitoring within a semantic wiki and were controlled regarding the effectiveness.

Findings
– Although semantic wikis are ideal tools for knowledge management in industry settings, especially due to their user-friendly way of storing and retrieving knowledge, they have rarely been used for technology forecast and monitoring purposes so far. The authors show that the additional requirements for such purposes can be met and provide established technology analysis possibilities within Semantic MediaWiki. In that way, a new application area of Semantic MediaWiki is introduced.

Originality/value
– Tools and techniques for Semantic MediaWiki are presented, opening the application area of Semantic MediaWiki for technology and innovation management. The research provides evidence that the open-source implemented visualization and storage techniques can be applied in real-world settings, where so far mainly costly dedicated software has had to be used.
A hybrid PSO with Naïve Bayes classifier for disengagement detection in online learning
Authors: T GopalaKrishnan , Sengottuvelan P 
Published: March 2016

Purpose
– The ultimate objective of the any e-Learning system is to meet the specific need of the online learners and provide them with various features to have efficacious learning experiences by understanding their complexities. Any e-Learning system could be much more improved by tracking students commitment and disengagement on that course, in turn, would allow system to have personalized involvements at appropriate times in order to re-engage learners. Motivations play a important role to get back the learners on the track could be done by analyzing of several attributes of the log files. This paper aims to analyze the multiple attributes which cause the learners to disengage from an online learning environment.

Design/methodology/approach
– For this improvisation, Web based learning system is researched using data mining techniques in education. There are various attributes characterized for the disengagement prediction using web log file analysis. Though, there have been several attempts to include motivating characteristics in e-Learning systems are adapted, presently influence on cognition is acknowledged mostly.

Findings
– Classification is one of the predictive data mining technique which makes prediction about values of data using known results found from different data sets. To find out the optimal solution for identifying disengaged learners in the online learning systems, Naive Bayesian (NB) classifier with Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm is used which will classify the data set and then perform the independent analysis.

Originality/value
– The experimental results shows that the use of unrelated variables in the class attributes will reduce the accuracy and reliability of a any classification model. However, the hybrid PSO algorithm is clearly more apt to find minor subsets of attributes than the PSO with NB classifier. The NB classifier combined with hybrid PSO feature selection method proves to be the best feature selection capability without degrading the classification accuracy. It is further proved to be an effective method for mining large structural data in much less computation time.
Adoption of DSpace by Indian libraries
Authors: Cherukodan Surendran , S Humayoon Kabir 
Published: March 2016

Purpose
– India occupies second position among the countries that have adopted DSpace open source software for institutional repositories (IRs)/digital libraries (DLs). The purpose of this paper is to examine the reasons for DSpace being preferred over other software. It inspects various instances of Indian web-based DSpace systems including the nature and growth of collection, the geographical distribution of DSpace systems and the types of institutions that adopt and maintain DSpace.

Design/methodology/approach
– Data were collected from the official website of DSpace, Google search and from online discussion forums during July 2013 to January 2014. The 132 Indian DSpace links provided in the official DSpace website were examined. Further search was carried out on Google to identify Indian IRs and DLs that are not listed by the official website. A list of Indian DSpace websites prepared by the authors was sent to the online discussion forums for further updating. An online directory of Indian DSpace websites was created using WordPress which provided for the adding of comments. The study is limited to the web-based DSpace IRs and DLs in India.

Findings
– The majority of the Indian IRs and DLs listed on the official website of DSpace are not visible on the internet. Many links lead to institution websites, commercial websites and personal pages of authors. Out of 132 DSpace links, only 55 are visible on the internet to search and use. Indian libraries prefer DSpace over EPrints, Fedora and Greenstone. Many institutions could not maintain continuity of their DSpace systems in the online environment. Institutions having more funding are maintaining web-based DSpace systems. The size, economic conditions, rate of literacy and number of universities in an Indian state do not influence the maintenance of digital systems. Academic institutions involving universities, technical institutions and colleges lead in the adoption and maintenance of web-based DSpace in India. Private universities and colleges have adopted DSpace for IR/DL. Public libraries constitute a minimum percentage of web-based DSpace instances. Indian courts and Parliament have adopted DSpace. Shodhganga, the Indian ETD project, is running on DSpace.

Originality/value
– This is the first paper examining the adoption of DSpace by Indian libraries with a focus on online visibility and the strength of collection. It can be used to understand the pattern of technology adoption by Indian libraries over the years.
Balancing instructional techniques and delivery formats in capstone business strategy courses
Authors: Alstete Jeffrey W. , Beutell Nicholas J. 
Published: March 2016

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to contend that collegiate programs should carefully plan their capstone courses in light of the educational mission, pedagogical content knowledge, instructional techniques and delivery formats.Design/methodology/approach– This is a concept paper with elements of theory building from the case of business strategy courses. After an overview of relevant research along with past and current practices, capstone course content projects and assignments are discussed in relation to delivery formats such as on-campus, hybrid partial online and full distance education.Findings– Faculty and academic departments choosing project assignments should seek to create an integrative learning experience for students using carefully balanced delivery methods and content. Each of the instructional methods and delivery systems have certain advantages, and the use of these techniques is not mutually exclusive, in that some faculty members may choose to teach course sections using multiple learning systems.Originality/value– As colleges and universities increase the range of instructional techniques and delivery formats, it is especially important to harmonize these methods with learning objectives for capstone learning experiences. Concepts for balanced integration and synthesis of topics are proposed for different instructional methods and delivery formats that can be applied in other disciplines. Using pedagogical content knowledge as a basis for improving teaching and learning is necessary to achieve balanced integration.

Published: March 2016

SummaryThere is a paucity of data on the treatment outcome in children with relapsed or poorly responsive nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma (nLPHL). This retrospective report evaluates the treatment outcome in a national cohort of children with relapsed or poorly responsive nLPHL. A total of 37 patients, 22 with relapsed and 15 with poorly responding disease, are the subjects of this report. Of the 22 patients with relapsed nLPHL, 11 had relapsed after primary excision biopsy, 10 after chemotherapy and 1 after chemotherapy and involved field radiotherapy. The majority had localized disease at relapse. The median time to relapse was 8 months after chemotherapy and 11 months after excision biopsy. Seven of the 15 patients with poorly responding nLPHL had variant histology. Three patients with initial poor response did not receive any further treatment and have had no disease progression. Transformation to diffuse large B cell lymphoma, in addition to evolution from typical to variant nLPHL occurred in one patient each. Thirty‐four patients have been successfully re‐treated with second chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Multiple relapses were uncommon but treatable. Relapse or poorly responsive nLPHL is fully salvageable with either additional chemotherapy and or radiotherapy.
Occipital Neuralgia Diagnosis and Treatment: The Role of Ultrasound
Authors: Narouze Samer 
Published: March 2016

BackgroundOccipital neuralgia is a form of neuropathic type of pain in the distribution of the greater, lesser, or third occipital nerves. Patients with intractable occipital neuralgia do not respond well to conservative treatment modalities. This group of patients represents a significant therapeutic challenge and may require interventional or invasive therapeutic approaches.PurposeOccipital neuralgia frequently occurs as a result of nerve entrapment or irritation by a tight muscle or vascular structure, or nerve trauma during whiplash injury.Although the entrapment theory is most commonly accepted, it lacks strong clinical evidence to support it. Accordingly, the available interventional approaches have been targeting the accessible part of the occipital nerve rather than the entrapped part.ConclusionBedside sonography is an excellent imaging modality for soft tissue structures. Ultrasound not only allows distinguishing normal from abnormal entrapped occipital nerves, it can identify the level and the cause of entrapment as well. Ultrasound guidance allows precise occipital nerve blocks and interventions at the level of the “specific” entrapment location rather than into the site of “presumed” entrapment.

AbstractAimThe aim was to assess the potential trends in Periodontology and Periodontics in Europe that might be anticipated by the year 2025, using the Delphi method.Material and MethodsThe expert opinion of 120 experts was sought through the use of an open‐ended questionnaire, developed by an advisory group, containing 40 questions concerning the various trends in periodontology.ResultsThe experts (113 responders) expect a stabilization of the prevalence of periodontitis, both for the chronic as well as the aggressive cases, but an increase in implant‐related diseases up to the year 2025. Concurrently, the importance of implants is seen to be increasing. They foresee an increased demand for postgraduate periodontology and implantology training. This is mirrored in an increase in publications for implant dentistry and increase in demand and need for training. Concerning the patients, better‐informed individuals seeking more routine check‐ups are expected.ConclusionA continued need for specialized periodontists, but also well trained dental practitioners is foreseen for next decade in Europe. Apart from periodontology they will be increasingly exposed to and trained in implant dentistry.
The challenges for scientific publishing, 60 years on
Authors: Hausmann Laura , Murphy Sean P. ,   the Publication Committee of the International Society for Neurochemistry (ISN)
Published: March 2016

AbstractThe most obvious difference in science publishing between ‘then’ and ‘now’ is the dramatic change in the communication of data and in their interpretation. The democratization of science via the Internet has brought not only benefits but also challenges to publishing including fraudulent behavior and plagiarism, data and statistics reporting standards, authorship confirmation and other issues which affect authors, readers, and publishers in different ways. The wide accessibility of data on a global scale permits acquisition and meta‐analysis to mine for novel synergies, and has created a highly commercialized environment. As we illustrate here, identifying unacceptable practices leads to changes in the standards for data reporting.

Authors: Barbieri Nicolò , Ghisetti Claudia , Gilli Marianna , Marin Giovanni , Nicolli Francesco 
Published: March 2016

AbstractThis paper reviews the literature on environmental innovation (EI) and systematizes it by means of an original methodology identifying the main directions in which the literature on EI has developed over time. In order to do so, two algorithms are adopted and used to analyse a citation network of journal articles and books. The main path analysis reveals that this literature revolves around the following topics: i) determinants of EI; ii) economic effects of EI; iii) environmental effects of EI and iv) policy inducement of EI. Each of these topics is discussed and implications from the main findings as well as possible future research extensions are outlined.

Published: March 2016

AbstractIn our study, we evaluated the substitution effect of 5, 10 and 15% of the wheat flour by alhydwan flour on dough rheology, texture profile analysis, bread volume, color, sensory evaluation and bread quality. The farinograph characteristics of the alhydwan containing doughs portrayed higher water absorption, while development and stability time was greatly reduced. In addition, there was a remarkable reduction of the degree of softening of the dough at 5% supplementation of the alhydwan flour. Extensograph measurements clearly demonstrated increased dough resistance and the ratio of resistance to extension and extensibility (R/E) and a reduction in extensibility and energy value after the supplementation of alhydwan flour. Texture analysis attested to the enhanced springiness and cohesiveness of the alhydwan enriched bread while chewiness, gumminess, adhesiveness and hardness decreased. The highest score in the sensory evaluation was recorded at 10% supplementation of the alhydwan flour.Practical ApplicationsOur results indicated that alhydwan flour it is could be incorporated into bread to improvement in dough rheology, bread quality and could be used act as improver to extend the shelf life for few hours and consequently reduce the economic loss caused by bread staling.
The role of phosphorus, magnesium and potassium availability in soil fungal exploration of mineral nutrient sources in Norway spruce forests
Authors: Rosenstock Nicholas P. , Berner Christoffer , Smits Mark M. , Krám Pavel , Wallander Håkan 
Published: March 2016

Summary

We investigated fungal growth and community composition in buried meshbags, amended with apatite, biotite or hornblende, in Norway spruce (Picea abies) forests of varying nutrient status. Norway spruce needles and soil collected from forests overlying serpentinite had low levels of potassium and phosphorus, those from granite had low levels of magnesium, whereas those from amphibolite had comparably high levels of these nutrients.

We assayed the fungal colonization of meshbags by measuring ergosterol content and fungal community with 454 sequencing of the internal transcribed spacer region. In addition, we measured fine root density.

Fungal biomass was increased by apatite amendment across all plots and particularly on the K‐ and P‐deficient serpentinite plots, whereas hornblende and biotite had no effect on fungal biomass on any plots. Fungal community (total fungal and ectomycorrhizal) composition was affected strongly by sampling location and soil depth, whereas mineral amendments had no effect on community composition. Fine root biomass was significantly correlated with fungal biomass.

Ectomycorrhizal communities may respond to increased host‐tree phosphorus demand by increased colonization of phosphorus‐containing minerals, but this does not appear to translate to a shift in ectomycorrhizal community composition. This growth response to nutrient demand does not appear to exist for potassium or magnesium limitation.
Effects of Formal Education for Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Waters Barbara M , Jensen Louise , Fedorak Richard N 
Published: March 2016

BACKGROUND: Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) suffer physical dysfunction and impaired quality of life (QOL), and need frequent health care. They often lack knowledge about their disease and desire more education. Educational interventions for other chronic diseases have demonstrated reduced health care use and increased knowledge, medication adherence and QOL.METHOD: Sixty-nine participants were randomly assigned to formal IBD education and standard of care (pamphlets and ad hoc physician education) or standard of care alone. Assessment of IBD knowledge and QOL occurred at baseline, immediately posteducation and eight weeks posteducation. Participants documented medication adherence and health care use in diaries. Patient satisfaction was assessed at the end of the study.RESULTS: The education group had higher knowledge scores (P=0.000), perceived knowledge ratings (P=0.01) and patient satisfaction (P=0.001). There was a lower rate of medication nonadherence and health care use for the education group, but the differences were not significant. QOL indices did not change. Significant correlations were found for increased health care use in patients with poorer medication adherence (P=0.01) and lower perceived health (P=0.05).CONCLUSION: Formal IBD patient education improves knowledge, perceived knowledge and patient satisfaction. Further study of long-term effects may better demonstrate potential benefits for QOL, medication adherence and health care use.
