Comparative analysis on pneumatic compact spinning systems
Authors: Liu Xinjin , Zhang Hong , Su Xuzhong 
Published: July 2016

Purpose
– Pneumatic compact spinning is the most widely used compact spinning method at present, in which the negative pressure airflow is used to condense the fiber bundle and decrease the spinning triangle. Compact spinning with perforated drum and lattice apron are mainly two kinds of pneumatic compact spinning now. The purpose of this paper is to study the comparative analysis on four kinds of pneumatic compact spinning systems, including two kinds of compact spinning with perforated drum: Rieter’s COM4 and complete condensing spinning (CCS), two kinds of compact spinning with lattice apron: Sussen’s three-line compact spinning (TLCS) and Toyota’s four-line compact spinning (FLCS).

Design/methodology/approach
– First, the basic properties of four systems were introduced and comparatively analyzed. Then, the 29.2 tex (20S), 14.6 tex (40S), 9.7 tex (60S) and 7.3 tex (80S) combed cotton yarns were spun in the four pneumatic compact spinning systems and ring spinning system, respectively. The evenness, breaking strength and hairiness of spun yarns were tested. Finally, the properties of corresponding woven fabric were tested.

Findings
– It is shown that comparing to compact spinning with lattice apron, the disposable input cost of compact spinning with perforated drum is higher, but the maintenance cost is lower. Comparing to compact spinning with lattice apron, the evenness of yarn spun by compact spinning with perforated drum is improved whereas the breaking strength is decreased. Furthermore, although harmful long hairiness (=3 mm) of yarn spun by CCS is a little more, the beneficial short hairiness (1-2 mm) is also more, which can make the fabric fullness and have better comfortable feeling.

Originality/value
– In the paper, comparative analysis on four kinds of pneumatic compact spinning systems, compact spinning with perforated drum: Rieter’s COM4 and CCS, and compact spinning with lattice apron: Sussen’s TLCS and Toyota’s FLCS, were studied. The basic properties, spun yarn qualities and properties of corresponding woven fabric of four systems were analyzed comparatively.
Detection of varied defects in diverse fabric images via modified RPCA with noise term and defect prior
Authors: Cao Junjie , Wang Nannan , Zhang Jie , Wen Zhijie , Li Bo , Liu Xiuping 
Published: July 2016

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to present a novel method for fabric defect detection.

Design/methodology/approach
– The method based on joint low-rank and spare matrix recovery, since patterned fabric is manufactured by a set of predefined symmetry rules, and it can be seen as the superposition of sparse defective regions and low-rank defect-free regions. A robust principal component analysis model with a noise term is designed to handle fabric images with diverse patterns robustly. The authors also estimate a defect prior and use it to guide the matrix recovery process for accurate extraction of various fabric defects.

Findings
– Experiments on plain and twill, dot-, box- and star-patterned fabric images with various defects demonstrate that the method is more efficient and robust than previous methods.

Originality/value
– The authors present a RPCA-based model for fabric defects detection, and show how to incorporate defect prior to improve the detection results. The authors also show that more robust detection and less running time can be obtained by introducing a noise term into the model.
An integrative adoption model of video-based learning
Authors: Mikalef Patrick , Pappas Ilias O. , Giannakos Michail 
Published: July 2016

Purpose– Video-based learning (VBL) is gaining increased attention as an educational means in settings such as the flipped classroom and massive open online courses. The value of VBL has been recognized in a range of contexts due to the ability to extend opportunities for life-long education for all socio-economic levels, removing geographical boundaries while at the same time alleviating time constraints. Yet, despite the advantages featured by VBL and some promising early outcomes regarding its effectiveness, little is known about what influences individuals to adopt VBL systems and technologies. The paper aims to discuss this issue.Design/methodology/approach– Building on behavioral and adoption-acceptance theories as well as on past empirical studies on e-learning, a conceptual model of VBL adoption is proposed. By analyzing survey data from 260 VBL learners, the conceptual model is put to test by means of structural equation modeling.Findings– Outcomes indicate that performance expectancy (PE) and computer self-efficacy (CSEF) have a positive direct effect on behavioral intention to adopt VBL. In addition, effort expectancy (EE) and social influence positively impact PE, while CSEF is found to enhance EE and perceived behavioral control.Originality/value– This study integrates several theoretical perspectives that are applied to adoption of novel information technologies and in addition builds on findings of past empirical research on learning technologies. In effect, the conceptual model along with outcomes provide an integrative perspective of adoption determinants.
A taxonomy of planning and scheduling methods to support their more efficient use in construction project management
Authors: Al Nasseri Hammad Abdullah , Widen Kristian , Aulin Radhlinah 
Published: July 2016

PurposeThe implementation and control processes of project planning and scheduling involve a wide range of methods and tools. Despite the development and modification and integration of the project management theory with newer scheduling approaches in particular, practitioners’ views on the efficiency and effectiveness of these methods and tools differ. This situation can be attributed in part to a lack of understanding of the most appropriate basis for implementing these methods and tools. This study, therefore, aims to overcome this deficiency by conceptualizing and adopting a taxonomy of planning and scheduling methods.Design/methodology/approachThe study is based on a review and discourse analysis of the literature covering a large number of theoretical and empirical studies. The underlying theories of various planning and scheduling methods were analyzed with respect to the taxonomy criteria adopted in the study.FindingsUsing the taxonomy, the key characteristics of planning and scheduling methods considered in this study were identified and interpreted. These included concepts and theories; key features; suitability and usability; and benefits and limitations. Overall, the findings suggest that project managers should consider taxonomy as a support tool for selecting and prioritizing the most appropriate method or combination of methods for managing their projects. Recommendations include the need for more advanced or multi-dimensional taxonomies to cope with the diversity of project type and size.Originality/valueThe results of the study allow project managers to improve their current practices by utilizing taxonomy when considering the implementation of planning and scheduling methods. Moreover, taxonomy can be considered as a tool to promote learning on the part of those less experienced in planning and scheduling. Taxonomy can be considered as an initial platform for further research in this area.
Risk of money laundering in the US: HSBC case study
Authors: Naheem Mohammed Ahmad 
Published: July 2016

Purpose
This paper uses a case study approach using the Permanent Sub Committee on Investigations (PSI) report on HBUS to determine where gaps in anti-money laundering (AML) regulation and compliance are within the banking sector.

Design/methodology/approach
The PSI highlighted five areas of serious weakness and fundamental flaws in the HBUS AML risk assessment. This paper examines the governance response that led to these weaknesses and applies a rationale decision-making theoretical framework to explain it.

Findings
The report found that corporate culture and attitude at the governance level were key factors in the difficulties that HBUS faced.

Research limitations/implications
This paper focuses on one case, albeit one of the largest banks in the global banking sector. Although generalisations are limited, the report does highlight areas to consider with all banks.

Practical implications
The implications that are identified are aimed at banks and auditing firms that have to work alongside governance structure within banks. The role of internal audit is raised and has future implications for how risk assessment is undertaken and how AML compliance frameworks are devised and reported on.

Social implications
A stronger social corporate responsibility attitude is suggested that considers the wider social impacts of supporting criminal transactions, even inadvertently, by inappropriate and under-resourced AML risk-assessment frameworks.

Originality/value
The detailed analysis of one case that considers the governance response to AML regulation is new in this paper, and the detailed recommendations for improving and developing stronger AML risk-assessment frameworks apply to the banking, financial services and auditing professions.
Research on money laundering risk assessment of customers – based on the empirical research of China
Authors: Xue Yao-Wen , Zhang Yan-Hua 
Published: July 2016

Purpose
To implement a risk-based regulatory approach, this paper aims to make an assessment on customers' money laundering risk and conducts some applications.

Design/methodology/approach
During the transition of a regulatory approach from “rule-based” to “risk-based”, this paper considers that the area of a customer, types of business and the industries to which the customer belongs are the main indicators to judge money laundering risk of a customer. Based on the statistical analysis of 221 typical money laundering cases, first-class index weights are given by using the entropy weight method and then by combining with the membership function, this paper determines a customer’s money laundering risk levels. On the basis of the entropy weight method, this paper uses the C5.0 algorithm to construct a decision tree model and then carries out application research on customer money laundering risk assessment to verify the effectiveness of the entropy weight method and the decision tree model.

Findings
This empirical research found the weights of three key money laundering indicators: customer areas, business types and corresponding industries.

Originality/value
Asserting that current money laundering risk assessments of customers are marginal at best, this paper contends from the perspective of practice, and applies the entropy weight method and the decision tree model for money laundering risk assessment of customers.
“I Broke My Ankle”: Access to Orthopedic Follow‐up Care by Insurance Status

Published: July 2016

AbstractObjectivesWhile the Affordable Care Act seeks to reduce emergency department (ED) visits for outpatient‐treatable conditions, it remains unclear whether Medicaid patients or the uninsured have adequate access to follow‐up care. The goal of this study was to determine the availability of follow‐up orthopedic care by insurance status.MethodsUsing simulated patient methodology, all 102 eligible general orthopedic practices in Dallas‐Fort Worth, Texas, were contacted twice by a caller requesting follow‐up for an ankle fracture diagnosed in a local ED using a standardized script that differed by insurance status. Practices were randomly assigned to paired private and uninsured or Medicaid and uninsured scenarios.ResultsWe completed 204 calls: 59 private, 43 Medicaid, and 102 uninsured. Appointment success rate was 83.1% for privately insured (95% confidence interval [CI] = 73.2% to 92.9%), 81.4% for uninsured (95% CI = 73.7% to 89.1%), and 14.0% for Medicaid callers (95% CI = 3.2% to 24.7%). Controlling for paired calls to the same practice, an uninsured caller had 5.7 times higher odds (95% CI = 2.74 to 11.71) of receiving an appointment than a Medicaid caller (p < 0.001), but the same odds as a privately insured caller (odds ratio = 1.0, 95% CI = 0.19 to 5.37, p = 1.0). Uninsured patients had to bring a median of $350 (interquartile range = $250 to $400) to their appointment to be seen, and only two uninsured patients were able to obtain an appointment for $100 or less up front. In comparison, typical total payments collected for privately insured patients were $236 and for Medicaid patients $128. When asked where else they could go, 49 (48%) uninsured callers and one Medicaid caller (2%) were directed to local public hospital EDs as alternative sources of care. Of the practices that appeared on Medicaid's published list of orthopedic providers accepting new patients, 15 told callers that they did not accept Medicaid, 11 did not treat ankles, nine listed nonworking phone numbers, and only three actually scheduled an appointment for the Medicaid caller.ConclusionsLess than one in seven Medicaid patients could obtain orthopedic follow‐up after an ED visit for a fracture, and prices quoted to the uninsured were 30% higher than typical negotiated rates paid by the privately insured. High up‐front costs for uninsured patients and low appointment availability for Medicaid patients may leave these patients with no other option than the ED for necessary care.

Published: July 2016

AbstractAlcoholism is a chronic relapsing disorder, and stress is a key precipitant of relapse. The nucleus incertus (NI) is highly responsive to corticotrophin‐releasing factor (CRF) and psychological stressors, receives a CRF innervation and expresses CRF1 and CRF2 receptor mRNA. Furthermore, the ascending NI relaxin‐3 system is implicated in alcohol seeking in rats. Therefore, in alcohol‐preferring rats, we examined the effect of bilateral injections into the NI of the CRF1 receptor antagonist, CP376395 or the CRF2 receptor antagonist, astressin‐2B on yohimbine‐induced reinstatement of alcohol seeking. Using quantitative PCR analysis of NI micropunches, we assessed the effects of chronic alcohol consumption on gene expression profiles for components of the relaxin‐3 and CRF systems. Bilateral intra‐NI injections of CP376395 (500 ng/0.25 µl) attenuated yohimbine‐induced reinstatement of alcohol seeking. In contrast, intra‐NI injections of astressin‐2B (200 ng/0.25 µl) had no significant effect. In line with these data, CRF1, but not CRF2, receptor mRNA was upregulated in the NI following chronic ethanol intake. Relaxin family peptide 3 receptor mRNA was also increased in the NI following chronic ethanol. Our quantitative PCR analysis also identified CRF mRNA within the rat NI, and the existence of a newly identified population of CRF‐containing neurons was subsequently confirmed by detection of CRF immunoreactivity in rat and mouse NI. These data suggest that NI neurons contribute to reinstatement of alcohol seeking, via an involvement of CRF1 signalling. Furthermore, chronic ethanol intake leads to neuroadaptive changes in CRF and relaxin‐3 systems within rat NI.

Published: July 2016

AbstractGranulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is a potentially lethal disease characterized by systemic necrotizing vasculitis, which affects small‐ and medium‐sized blood vessels and is often associated with serum cytoplasmic antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody. The upper and lower respiratory tract and kidney are the most involved sites, but oral lesions can be identified in 6–13% of the cases, whereas in only 2% of the cases, oral manifestations represent the first signal of the disease usually as gingival swellings or unspecific ulcerations. Without treatment, the mainstay of which is the combination of immunosuppressants and systemic corticosteroids, GPA may run a fatal course. In this report we describe an original case of GPA affecting a 75‐year‐old female patient referred to our service due to a gingival swelling with 3‐month duration. Although the patient was correctly diagnosed and promptly treated, she died 3 months after the initial diagnosis.

Published: July 2016

Background and ObjectivesIdentifying predictors of early drop out from outpatient treatment of opioid use disorder (OUD) with buprenorphine/naloxone (BN) may improve care for subgroups requiring more intensive engagement to achieve stabilization. However, previous research on predictors of dropout among this population has yielded mixed results. The aim of the present study was to elucidate these mixed findings by simultaneously evaluating a range of putative risk factors that may predict dropout in BN maintenance treatment.MethodsOutpatient medical records and weekly supervised urine toxicology results were retrospectively reviewed for patients at two community psychiatric clinics (n = 202): a private hospital clinic (n = 84) and a federally qualified health center (n = 118). A forward stepwise logistic regression was utilized to investigate the association between early dropout (i.e., discontinuing treatment or buprenorphine non‐adherence within the first 3 months of clinic entry) and extracted sociodemographic, clinical, substance use, and treatment history variables.ResultsOverall, 56 of 202 participants (27.7%) dropped out of treatment. The multivariable analysis indicated that age under 25 (B = 1.47, SEB = .52, p < .01) and opioid use in month 1 (B = 1.50, SEB = .41, p < .001) were significantly associated with early dropout; those with a history of suicide attempt were significantly less likely to drop out (B = −1.44, SEB = .67, p < .05).Conclusions and Scientific SignificanceConsistent with previous research, younger age and use of opioids during the first month of treatment predicted early dropout. Having a history of prior suicide attempt was associated with 3‐month BN treatment retention, which has not been previously reported. (Am J Addict 2016;25:472–477)

AbstractAimCoeliac disease can induce specific enamel defects (SED), but little is known about the consequences of antitissue transglutaminase (TG2A) autoimmunity. We investigated whether TG2A positivity in children and their mothers was associated with SED in the primary dentition.MethodsMaternal and child serum immunoglobulin A‐TG2A levels were measured as part of the Generation R prospective cohort study. Clinical oral photographs of the primary dentition were taken, and SED and caries were recorded. We performed logistic regression analysis.ResultsWe analysed data on 4775 mothers and 4233 children (median age of 6.2 ± 0.5 years). SED and caries were not associated with maternal TG2A levels. The 59 TG2A‐positive children tended to have more SED, particularly the 31 in the strongly positive subgroup, with odds ratio of 1.72 and 2.29, respectively. A positive linear trend was observed between higher TG2A levels and paediatric SED (p = 0.04), but this became nonsignificant after adjusting for ethnic and socio‐economic background. No difference in caries was found between the groups.ConclusionTG2A did not play an independent role on SED in the primary dentition during pregnancy and childhood, and the relationship may be explained by ethnic and socio‐economic background.
Online professional development embedded with mobile learning: An examination of teachers' attitudes, engagement and dispositions
Authors: Gunter Glenda A. , Reeves Jennifer L. 
Published: July 2016

AbstractEducators are eager to understand how technology is being used in PK‐12 classrooms in the US. Administrators, in particular, are interested in determining the most effective methods for educating teachers to integrate newer technologies into their curriculums. Research supports that students learn best when the process is hands‐on, interactive and authentic. Teachers must learn not only how to use new technologies, but also how to deeply integrate them into their curriculum to meet the changing needs of their students. Would it not make sense then to assume that teachers also learn best when the process is hands‐on, interactive and authentic? While a great deal of instruction in technology appears to be included in district professional development programs, many lack assistance beyond the one‐shot, hands‐off professional development approach. Therefore, the purpose of this sequential explanatory mixed methods study was to understand teachers' dispositions toward the relative value of mobile learning and whether authentic, integrated, subject‐specific professional developments empower teachers to fully and effectively integrate mobile learning into their curriculum.
Advances in understanding the mechanisms of erythropoiesis in homeostasis and disease
Authors: Liang Raymond , Ghaffari Saghi 
Published: July 2016

SummaryAnaemia or decreased blood haemoglobin is the most common blood disorder often characterized by reduced red blood cell (RBC) numbers. RBCs are produced from differentiation and commitment of haematopoietic stem cells to the erythroid lineage by a process called erythropoiesis. Coordination of erythropoietin receptor signalling with several erythroid transcription factors including GATA1 is essential for this process. A number of additional players that are critical for RBC production have been identified in recent years. Major technological advances, such as the development of RNA interference, genetically modified animals, including zebrafish, and imaging flow cytometry have led to these discoveries; the emergence of ‐omics approaches in combination with the optimization of ex vivo erythroid cultures have also produced a more comprehensive understanding of erythropoiesis. Here we summarize studies describing novel regulators of erythropoiesis that modulate erythroid cell production in the context of human erythroid disorders involving hypoxia, iron regulation, immune‐related molecules, and the transcription factor FOXO3.
Young in class: Implications for inattentive/hyperactive behaviour of Canadian boys and girls
Authors: Chen Kelly , Fortin Nicole , Phipps Shelley 
Published: July 2016

AbstractUsing data from the Statistics Canada National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth (NLSCY), this paper investigates the impact of school entry age on inattentive/hyperactive behaviours. We employ both an across‐provinces and time difference‐in‐differences approach and a within‐province regression discontinuity design. We find that being young in class causes greater inattentive/hyperactive behaviour, exacerbating any inattentive/hyperactive behaviour exhibited prior to school entry. These results also hold in sibling fixed effect models. We do not find gender differences in the effects, although since boys are more likely to be inattentive/hyperactive at school entry, they are more affected. These effects persist into early adolescence.
