Supporting student innovation through an engagement, employability and employment ecosystem
Authors: Walsh Anita , Powell Philip 
Published: December 2017

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to explore how students, full-time and part-time, may be supported in becoming ambidextrous – developing “intrapreneurial” skills and capabilities, as well as being introduced to more typical “entrepreneurial” activities. It is proposed that both perspectives will be necessary for future graduates.

Design/methodology/approach
The paper highlights the fast-changing nature of the economic and employment context and the future requirements for graduate skills. It analyses and evaluates a framework of curricular and extra-curricular activities which has been developed to address future skills needs. The paper uses a case study to illustrate the issue.

Findings
The paper concludes that with increasingly flexible career paths, there is a need for graduates to be prepared for portfolio careers in which they move between employment and self-employment. The development of an independent mindset which can identify and exploit innovation is therefore important.

Practical implications
The paper outlines an approach that has been implemented in a UK higher education institution to the development of innovation skills which is responsive to a wider range of students than the conventional cohort of young, full-time students.

Originality/value
The paper highlights the importance of designing educational experiences which directly address students’ situations and experiences. It also identifies the role of work-based research in the development of an innovative mindset.

Authors: McDonald Sharyn , Gertsen Frank , Rosenstand Claus A. Foss , Tollestrup Christian 
Published: December 2017

Purpose
While creativity and innovation are found within many disciplines, the opportunity to develop a tangible skill set and share ideas with contemporaries can be limited within the siloed structure of many tertiary institutions. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate a model that addresses the pedagogical challenge of interdisciplinary learning.

Design/methodology/approach
This paper adopts a case-based approach. The case subject is Aalborg University that founded an intensive entrepreneurial education workshop that incorporates a problem-based learning (PBL) approach. This paper evaluates the program design, development, and replication plus compares the motives and subsequent experiences between workshop participants in Denmark and Australia.

Findings
The findings of this case study validate the centrality of entrepreneurship education as a discipline which has the capacity to unite staff and students approaching problems from various fields. The workshop design was adapted to the changing needs and expectations of staff and students and was successfully replicated overseas.

Originality/value
Denmark established an innovative, intensive workshop which seized the opportunity to deliver an engaging program that unlocks untapped creative potential among students from diverse cultures and multiple disciplines. Overall, this research contributes toward the body of knowledge examining student engagement and the delivery of PBL activities within an interdisciplinary learning environment.
Measuring longitudinal student performance on student learning outcomes in sustainability education
Authors: Jarchow Meghann E. , Formisano Paul , Nordyke Shane , Sayre Matthew 
Published: December 2017

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to describe the student learning outcomes (SLOs) for a sustainability major, evaluate faculty incorporation of the SLOs into the courses in the sustainability major curriculum and measure student performance on the SLOs from entry into the major to the senior capstone course.

Design/methodology/approach
Through an iterative approach with a faculty advisory committee, SLOs were developed for the sustainability major. Curriculum mapping followed by evaluation of course syllabi were used to determine the extent to which each course addressed the SLOs. Student performance on most SLOs was measured through student assessment in an introductory and capstone course to evaluate the change in performance over time.

Findings
The core courses of the sustainability major were more likely to address the SLOs of the major than that of the elective courses. Where measured, student performance on the SLOs increased from the introductory course to the capstone course. Sustainability majors participated in an average of almost ten experiential learning opportunities focused on sustainability.

Originality/value
This research provides a longitudinal assessment of student learning in an undergraduate sustainability major. Because undergraduate sustainability degrees are generally new, this research can serve as a base upon which to continue to improve sustainability curriculum design.
Psychopathic costs: a monetization study of the fiscal toll of psychopathy features among institutionalized delinquents
Authors: DeLisi Matt , Reidy Dennis E. , Heirigs Mark H. , Tostlebe Jennifer J. , Vaughn Michael G. 
Published: December 2017

Purpose
That psychopathy imposes substantial societal costs and economic burden is axiomatic, but monetization studies have overlooked cost estimates of the disorder. The paper aims to discuss these issues.

Design/methodology/approach
Drawing on a near census of institutionalized delinquents from Missouri, the current study devised new crime cost measures for self-reported offending.

Findings
Youth imposed $30 million in total costs annually in large part due to extensive involvement in robbery, theft, and assault. The most criminally active youth imposed costs in excess of $700 million. Psychopathy features were differentially correlated with crime costs. APSD-SR callous-unemotional traits, mPPI-SF Blame Externalization, mPPI-SF Machiavellian Egocentricity, and mPPI-SF Social Potency were significantly associated with between four and five crime costs. Psychopathic traits associated with ruthless self-interest, callousness, and expectations to control and dominate others manifest in diverse ways including serious violence and repeated property crime. Other features such as mPPI-SF Impulsive Nonconformity, mPPI-SF Stress Immunity, mPPI-SF Coldheartedness, mPPI-SF Carefree Nonplanfulness, mPPI-SF Fearlessness, APSD-SR Impulsivity, and APSD-SR Narcissism had limited associations with crime costs.

Originality/value
To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first monetization study to quantify the effects of assorted psychopathy features on crime costs.

Published: December 2017

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to explore why innovative service ecosystems scale up, using a service-dominant logic lens. The focus is on identifying the key drivers of the scaling-up process as the basis for a new conceptual framework on the scaling up of service innovations.Design/methodology/approachAn inductive research design is used to zoom in on two innovative service ecosystems, Eataly and KidZania, to identify the key drivers that can explain why innovations scale up. For both companies, the triangulation of semi-structured interviews, archival sources and in-store observations is used as complementary data sets. Multiple investigators and multiple coders have been involved in the data collection, coding process and analysis.FindingsAn extended conceptualization of service innovation is obtained, grounded in a framework of four drivers of scaling up: effectuation as the basis for creating the value proposition; sensing and adapting to local contexts; the reconfiguration and alignment of resources and forms for collaboration between actors; and values’ resonance.Originality/valueThis study represents one of the first empirical investigations of the key drivers of the scaling up process of service innovations. The paper contributes with a conceptualization of service innovation and why scaling-up processes emerge, emphasizing the existence of multiple constellations of four drivers.
Driver or inhibitor for innovation?
Authors: Kreidler Anja , Tilebein Meike 
Published: December 2017

PurposeLiterature is unanimous about the effects of functional diversity in new product development teams. This paper uses simulation modeling to investigate the contradictory and dynamic effects of functional team diversity on innovation revealed by empirical literature. This paper aims to start a discussion on this dynamic perspective of team diversity.Design/methodology/approachThis paper presents a systemic approach toward investigating the contradictory and dynamic effects of functional team diversity on innovation by creating a simplified System Dynamics model of functional diversity in new product development teams.FindingsAlthough the simulation model is highly simplified, it can integrate the contradictory results of empirical data and the dynamic component of teamwork. Therefore, it offers a new approach to investigating the effects of functional diversity on team innovation.Research limitations/implicationsThe model is highly simplified and exemplary. No actual data are included, thus limiting the results as fully theoretical.Originality/valueEmpirical studies often analyze the effects of functional diversity on innovation in new product development teams. However, empirical data are unclear regarding the nature of the effects of functional diversity on innovation. Therefore, functional diversity is chosen for the simulation model as being the most controversially discussed diversity attribute. By applying a simulation model to the problem and adding a dynamic component to teamwork, we are contributing to the explanation for the contradictory findings in literature.
Lead-free solder wettability of oxidized-aluminum enhanced by Ar-H2 plasmas for flip-chip bumping
Authors: Lin Yung-Sen , Lin Shiau-Min , Li Jian-Yi , Liao Min-Chih 
Published: December 2017

Purpose
An investigation has been performed on the improved solder wettability of oxidized aluminum (Al) with lead-free solder (96.5Sn-3.5Ag) using Ar-H2 plasmas. The lead-free solder wettability was raised from 62.2 per cent wetting for Al oxidized in air at 250 C for 4 h to 98.4 per cent wetting of oxidized Al modified by Ar-H2 plasmas at a certain H2 flow rate. This study aims to gain insight on the surface characteristics of Al affecting the solder wettability with a liquid lead-free solder.

Design/methodology/approach
Ar-H2 plasmas at certain H2 flow rates are intended to reduce Al oxides on the surfaces of oxidized Al substrates both by physical bombardments via Ar plasmas and chemical reductions with H2 plasmas, while Al substrates are exposed in Ar-H2 plasmas to improve the solder wettability with a liquid lead-free solder.

Findings
Surface characteristics of oxidized Al substrates have been identified to play key roles for enhanced lead-free solder wettability using Ar-H2 plasmas. A decrease in polar surface free energy and an increase in dispersive surface free energy on the surfaces of oxidized Al substrates are exploited to advance the lead-free solder wettability. Decreased composition ratios of O to Al, detected by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) for oxidized Al substrates, are crucial for improved lead-free solder wettability.

Originality/value
XPS is typically used to analyze the surface compositions of Al oxides. To provide a rapid and non-expansive method to identify the surfaces of Al substrates prior to soldering to assure lead-free solder wettability, this study proposes a measurable skill, a so-called sessile drop test method, to investigate surface free energies such as total, polar and dispersive surface free energy on the surfaces of Al substrates, to illuminate how the lead-free solder wettability of oxidized Al is improved by Ar-H2 plasmas.
Impact of training on the intensification of rice farming: evidence from rainfed areas in Tanzania
Authors: Nakano Yuko , Tanaka Yuki , Otsuka Keijiro 
Published: December 2017

AbstractAgricultural development is indispensable for poverty reduction and food security in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA). This study investigates the impact of rice production training in a modified version of the System of Rice Intensification (SRI) on the performance of small‐scale rice farmers in a rainfed area of Tanzania. Utilizing the plot level variation, we employ propensity score matching (PSM) to assess the impact of training on technology adoption, productivity, and profitability. We also estimate a difference‐in‐differences model with plot fixed effects using recall panel data covering the periods before and after training. We found that trainees achieved an average paddy yield of 4.7 tons per hectare and rice profit of 191.5 USD per hectare on the plots where new technologies were adopted, which is higher by about 1.3–1.8 tons and 119–137 USD per hectare than on the other plots. Our study suggests the high potential of transforming favorable rainfed rice growing areas in SSA so as to achieve a rice Green Revolution through training in modern input use and improved agronomic practices.
Evaluating irrigation investments in Malawi: economy‐wide impacts under uncertainty and labor constraints
Authors: Schuenemann Franziska , Thurlow James , Meyer Stefan , Robertson Richard , Rodrigues Joao 
Published: December 2017

AbstractIrrigation expansion is critical to increase crop yields and mitigate effects from climate change in Sub‐Saharan Africa, but the low profitability has led to little irrigation investments in the region so far. Using an integrated modeling framework, we simultaneously evaluate the returns to irrigation arising from both economic and biophysical impact channels to understand what determines the profitability of irrigation in Malawi. Our results confirm that the returns to irrigation cannot cover the costs in Malawi. While labor‐intensive irrigation expansion leads to unfavorable structural change in the short‐run, the profitability hinges on low irrigated yields that fall far from expectations due to insufficient input use and crop management techniques. On the other hand, we find that the nonmonetary benefits of irrigation regarding higher food security, lower poverty, and reduced vulnerability to climate change make investments in irrigation worthwhile to improve the livelihoods of smallholders.
Anatomy of the lower respiratory tract in domestic birds, with emphasis on respiration
Authors: Casteleyn C. , Cornillie P. , Van Cruchten S. , Van den Broeck W. , Van Ginneken C. , Simoens P. 
Published: December 2017

SummaryThis manuscript describes the anatomy of the lower respiratory tract in domestic bird species including the chicken and pigeon. The here described anatomical structures play a major role avian respiration, which is fundamentally different from respiration in mammals. During inspiration and expiration, a continuous caudocranial airflow is present within the tertiary bronchi of the Paleopulmo, while the Neopulmo, which is only present in phylogenetically recent species, is characterized by tidal respiration. Various anatomical structures and aerodynamic mechanisms have been described in an attempt to explain the proposed mechanism of respiration. The air sac system that is essential for avian respiration usually comprises an unpaired clavicular air sac and paired cervical, cranial and caudal thoracic, and abdominal air sacs. The latter are by far the larger and are interwoven with the abdominal organs.
Facial first impressions and partner preference models: Comparable or distinct underlying structures?
Authors: South Palomares Jennifer K. , Sutherland Clare A.M. , Young Andrew W. 
Published: December 2017

Given the frequency of relationships nowadays initiated online, where impressions from face photographs may influence relationship initiation, it is important to understand how facial first impressions might be used in such contexts. We therefore examined the applicability of a leading model of verbally expressed partner preferences to impressions derived from real face images and investigated how the factor structure of first impressions based on potential partner preference‐related traits might relate to a more general model of facial first impressions. Participants rated 1,000 everyday face photographs on 12 traits selected to represent (Fletcher, et al. 1999, Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 76, 72) verbal model of partner preferences. Facial trait judgements showed an underlying structure that largely paralleled the tripartite structure of Fletcher et al.'s verbal preference model, regardless of either face gender or participant gender. Furthermore, there was close correspondence between the verbal partner preference model and a more general tripartite model of facial first impressions derived from a different literature (Sutherland et al., 2013, Cognition, 127, 105), suggesting an underlying correspondence between verbal conceptual models of romantic preferences and more general models of facial first impressions.

AbstractWe retrospectively compared the outcomes of children with severe aplastic anemia (SAA) who received immunosuppressive therapy (IST) or who underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) from a haploidentical donor (HID), between 2007 and 2016. A total of 52 children with SAA under the age of 17 years were initially treated with IST (n = 24) or haploidentical HSCT (n = 28) as first‐line treatment. The estimated 10‐year overall survival was 73.4 ± 12.6% and 89.3 ± 5.8% in patients treated with IST or HID‐HSCT (P = .806). The failure‐free survival was significantly inferior in patients receiving IST than in those undergoing transplantation from an HID (52.6 ± 10.5% vs 89.3 ± 5.8, P = .008). In univariate and multivariate analysis, the choice of first‐line immunosuppressive therapy was the only adverse predictor for failure‐free survival. At the last follow‐up, completely normal blood count was observed in 11 of 20 (55.0%) and 24 of 25 (96.0%) live cases in IST and HID‐HSCT cohort (P = .003). These suggest that HSCT from a haploidentical donor could be considered as first‐line treatment in children who lack a matched related donor, especially in experienced transplantation centers.

Authors: Zheng X. , Si Q. , Du D. , Harshan M. , Zhang Z. , Haines K. , Shi W. , Chhieng D. C. 
Published: December 2017

IntroductionThe Paris System (TPS) has recently been used in classification of urinary tract cytological specimens. Upper urinary tract (UUT) specimens are cytologically challenging. The utility of TPS was investigated in evaluating UUT specimens and its correlation with subsequent histological follow‐up.MethodFrom 2014 to 2017, 324 cytology cases of UUT from 179 patients were retrieved. Concurrent or subsequent biopsy or resection within a 2‐month period was available in 125 cases from 74 patients.ResultNone of the cases with a cytology of low‐grade urothelial neoplasm was found to have a high‐grade urothelial carcinoma (HGUC) on biopsy. Among the 19 atypical urothelial cells (AUC) cytology cases, the histology is heterogeneous (seven benign, one atypia, five low‐grade lesion, and six HGUC). The risk of HGUC for each cytological diagnostic category are 0% for non‐diagnostic/unsatisfactory, 6% for negative for HGUC, 27.3% for AUC, 0% for low‐grade urothelial neoplasm, 48% for suspicious for HGUC and 95% for positive HGUC. When we considered cytology cases with suspicious or positive for HGUC interpretations as positive, the performance of TPS in predicting high grade urothelial carcinoma on histology had values of: 78.6% sensitivity, 86% specificity, 80.5% positive predictive value and 84.5% negative predictive value.ConclusionMore than one‐third of the UUT cytological cases were classified as AUC and approximately 1/15 as suspicious or positive for HGUC. Based on UUT cytology specimens, the risk of malignancy of each cytological diagnostic category of TPS was comparable to those reported in the literature. The use of TPS in evaluating UUT cytology specimens was specific and sensitive in identifying patients with HGUC by histology.

Published: December 2017

IntroductionThe Bethesda system is widely accepted for thyroid FNA diagnostics, but has scarcely been analysed in relation to clinical background data. Our aim was to analyse the thyroid FNA diagnostic process in view of clinical data, and to assess the validity of the Bethesda system during the first year of implementation.MethodsThere were 415 thyroid FNAs taken from 363 patients during October 2011‐September 2012 in the Pirkanmaa Hospital District, Finland. The median age of the patients was 59 years, and the female‐to‐male ratio 4:1. Clinical data were collected from patient registries, and thyroid FNA and histopathological data from the pathology registry.ResultsThe Bethesda categories were represented as follows: 94 non‐diagnostic cases (26%); 177 benign (49%); 32 atypia of undetermined significance/follicular lesion of undetermined significance (9%); 31 follicular neoplasm (9%); 20 suspicious for malignancy (5%); and nine malignant cases (2%). Only 23 (24%) of the non‐diagnostic samples and 18 (56%) of the atypia of undetermined significance/follicular lesion of undetermined significance led to repeat FNA. Thyroid cancer was histopathologically diagnosed in 28 cases (8%). When the categories requiring surgical treatment were considered true positive findings, the sensitivity of the Bethesda system was 90%, and specificity was 70%. Interobserver accuracy was 86%.ConclusionsAlready during the first year of implementation, the Bethesda system proved reliable in evaluating the risk of thyroid malignancy. Nevertheless, the clinical judgement of the indication of ultrasound/FNA and management according to the FNA findings need improvement. The relatively high proportion of non‐diagnostic FNAs could be diminished by obtaining the samples by radiologists experienced in ultrasound‐guided FNA techniques.
