Published: March 2014

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to characterize polyamide parts prepared by the SLS process using techniques that are dependent on surface properties and compare the results to density measurements in order to assess which technique better reflects the degree of densification achieved using different laser power levels.

Design/methodology/approach
– Fabrication of Nylon 12 (Duraform PA) samples and their characterization by apparent density measurements, perfilometry, Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, specific surface area and contact angle measurements.

Findings
– Methods dependent on surface analysis are not suitable indicators of the degree of sample densification. Among the surface methods, the results from Raman spectroscopy are the ones with the best performance. Incipient sintering of the superficial layers and raw material powder on the surface, inherent to the parts made by the SLS process, strongly interfere with the characterization.

Originality/value
– Quantitative comparison of a number of surface probing methods for monitoring densification of SLS parts. Characterization of sample surfaces with and without raw material powder.
The reverse guillotine tribometer for evaluation of sliding wear of additive manufactured fixtures
Authors: Minetola Paolo , Iuliano Luca 
Published: March 2014

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to present a custom-built tribometer that mimics the wear of additive manufactured fixtures used in inspection of sheet metal components.

Design/methodology/approach
– Referring to the inspection of sheet metal parts, the fixture undergoes sliding wear during loading and unloading phases of the quality control operation. A new wear test is proposed to mimic the actual wearing conditions of the fixtures because the standards are deemed insufficient. In the tribometer, a cylindrical Alumide cantilever beam is made to slide back and forth inside a slightly bigger hole cut into a nickel-plated steel sheet. The sheet is spring loaded such that it applies a force on the specimen. The wear on the beam is measured after every 500 cycles of the beam motion.

Findings
– Results of some first test trials are reported to evaluate the durability of Alumide fixtures fabricated by selective laser sintering. The results are also compared to those obtained for a machined fixture made of an Al-Cu alloy.

Practical implications
– The proposed wear test estimates the life time of additive manufactured fixtures in terms of numbers of inspected components. The test can be extended to different materials to compare their durability.

Originality/value
– Today, the fabrication of custom fixtures by means of additive manufacturing technologies is a reality in many manufacturing industries. The advantage of using those production technologies for custom fixtures is well assessed in literature in terms of manufacturing times and costs, whereas little attention was given to the life time and wear behaviour of fabricated fixtures. For its practical implication, the fixture durability is indeed very important for manufactures.
Academic business librarians' assistance to community entrepreneurs
Authors: Mort Feldmann Louise 
Published: March 2014

Purpose– The purpose of this paper was to examine on a national scale how academic business librarians are working with community organizations and other libraries to assist local entrepreneurs with their information needs.Design/methodology/approach– A multi method approach was used to gather information. In spring 2012, a survey and follow-up interviews were conducted with academic business librarians. Additionally, business consultants who have worked with librarians were interviewed.Findings– The survey had 53 respondents. Of those, 40 percent indicated that they collaborate to assist entrepreneurs. Five interviewees confirmed the findings of the survey and discussed their collaborative arrangements. The consultants discussed best practices in working with entrepreneurs.Research limitations/implications– This research studied academic business librarians and reached those who monitor the buslib-l and brass-l listservs. Not all librarians have the time or take the time to respond to a survey. Additionally, this research only explored collaborations to assist local entrepreneurs and did not specifically focus on campus entrepreneurs and outreach to business schools.Practical implications– This study provides information on academic business librarians' efforts to assist community entrepreneurs. It also provides some information on lessons learned.Originality/value– A national study of academic business librarians' outreach to entrepreneurs has not been conducted in the past.
Information behaviour of humanities PhDs on an information literacy course
Authors: Madden Ronan 
Published: March 2014

Purpose
– The aim of this paper is to examine whether an information literacy course/module is an appropriate intervention during the initial months of a humanities PhD, and if there is more that can be learned from the course participants that might provide a better understanding of their information behaviour.

Design/methodology/approach
– A questionnaire was distributed to new humanities PhD students prior to their attending the course. A second questionnaire was distributed to those who had completed the course in full. Interviews were conducted with six participants to gain a richer understanding of how their information-seeking needs had evolved.

Findings
– Despite the relatively generic nature of the module, and the diversity of humanities research, the course had clear benefits for the participants. In their first year, scoping their topic and finding quality information can pose a challenge. The participants reported that the most appropriate time to attend the course is during the initial months. Some preferred to attend (or repeat) particular units later as workshops. The most valued elements were those that helped them bridge initial gaps. Face-to-face delivery is preferred. There is some potential for further one-to-one contact with librarians and additional follow-up workshops.

Practical implications
– This study can inform how librarians can better support PhD researchers in the humanities.

Originality/value
– The study is based around an established and accredited humanities PhD course that has already been adapted in various ways in terms of content and timing of delivery. Drawing on Kuhlthau's “Information Search Process”, the study seeks a deeper understanding of a specific humanities group during the initial months of their PhD research.
Text a librarian: a look from the user perspective
Authors: Luo Lili 
Published: March 2014

Purpose
– The aim of this paper is to provide an in-depth examination of the use and non-use of text reference service among library users, seeking to evaluate the service from library users' perspective and hence enhance the professional understanding of the best practices of text reference service.

Design/methodology/approach
– A survey study was conducted among library users, examining user demographics, user's texting behavior, user awareness of text reference service, and users' use or non-use of the service.

Findings
– Findings suggest that the majority of library users have not used the service and their non-use is primarily attributed to their lack of awareness. Users who have used the service report a high degree of satisfaction and appreciate the convenience, ease of use and speediness of the service.

Practical implications
– The paper helps interested libraries develop an enriched view of texting's affordance as a reference service venue and thus make more informed decisions in successfully implementing the service.

Originality/value
– Text reference is the most recent reference development and it does not have a large body of literature. Current reports are primarily of a single library's experience and rarely investigate users' experience with text reference service. This paper fills the void in the literature by presenting a thorough study of text reference service from the user's point-of-view.
Four questions every leader needs to ask about talent management
Authors: Kinley Nik , Ben-Hur Shlomo 
Published: March 2014

Purpose– The authors aim to examine the use of talent intelligence – the understanding that businesses have of the skills, expertise and qualities of their people – within talent management strategies.Design/methodology/approach– The authors combine their field work and research expertise to understand the use of talent intelligence and its effectiveness, and how this can be improved upon.Findings– Beneath the succession plans and talent pools, talent management is built upon the foundation of talent intelligence. It is the basis of every people decision that organizations make. Yet there is evidence that this basic foundation of talent management is broken.Originality/value– The authors look at why talent intelligence is not being used to its potential, and explore what businesses can do to rectify the matter. Four practical steps are shared to help HR professionals assess the quality of their organization's talent intelligence.
Develop and engage all your people for business success
Authors: Caplan Janice 
Published: March 2014

Purpose
– This article aims to draw on some key ideas set out in Janice Caplan's book, Strategic Talent Development. In essence, Strategic Talent Development is about achieving business success in today's environment, which is so different from the one on which most management practice is based.

Design/methodology/approach
– Caplan argues that conventional thinking has pushed too much onto line managers and given them an impossible task. She also debunks popular notions, such as we should invest differentially in high potential, or pivotal staff, or that leaders must win hearts and minds.

Findings
– She shows how new ways of working are making current line management structures and processes unviable, and she proposes two key solutions. The first is to implement “shared management” structures that spread people management responsibilities so that individuals get the attention they need, when they need it. The second is to establish longer-term approaches to career development that ensure everyone keeps pace with change. This also takes care of high potentials and future leaders.

Originality/value
– The author shows how the proposed solutions are critical to raising levels of employee engagement and therefore business profitability.
BEEHAVE: a systems model of honeybee colony dynamics and foraging to explore multifactorial causes of colony failure
Authors: Becher Matthias A. , Grimm Volker , Thorbek Pernille , Horn Juliane , Kennedy Peter J. , Osborne Juliet L. 
Published: March 2014

Summary

A notable increase in failure of managed European honeybee Apis mellifera L. colonies has been reported in various regions in recent years. Although the underlying causes remain unclear, it is likely that a combination of stressors act together, particularly varroa mites and other pathogens, forage availability and potentially pesticides. It is experimentally challenging to address causality at the colony scale when multiple factors interact. In silico experiments offer a fast and cost‐effective way to begin to address these challenges and inform experiments. However, none of the published bee models combine colony dynamics with foraging patterns and varroa dynamics.

We have developed a honeybee model, BEEHAVE, which integrates colony dynamics, population dynamics of the varroa mite, epidemiology of varroa‐transmitted viruses and allows foragers in an agent‐based foraging model to collect food from a representation of a spatially explicit landscape.

We describe the model, which is freely available online (www.beehave-model.net). Extensive sensitivity analyses and tests illustrate the model's robustness and realism. Simulation experiments with various combinations of stressors demonstrate, in simplified landscape settings, the model's potential: predicting colony dynamics and potential losses with and without varroa mites under different foraging conditions and under pesticide application. We also show how mitigation measures can be tested.

Synthesis and applications. BEEHAVE offers a valuable tool for researchers to design and focus field experiments, for regulators to explore the relative importance of stressors to devise management and policy advice and for beekeepers to understand and predict varroa dynamics and effects of management interventions. We expect that scientists and stakeholders will find a variety of applications for BEEHAVE, stimulating further model development and the possible inclusion of other stressors of potential importance to honeybee colony dynamics.

Published: March 2014

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of positive systemic practice (PSP) in the context of a controlled trial.PSPis a model of family therapy for adolescent emotional and behavioural problems. A series of thirty‐seven consecutive patients assigned to aPSPtreatment group and thirty‐five similar patients consecutively assigned to a waiting‐list control group completed this trial. They were assessed at baseline (Time 1) and 16 weeks later (Time 2) using the strengths and difficulties questionnaire (SDQ) that evaluates adolescent emotional and behavioural problems, and the systemic clinical outcomes and routine evaluation (SCORE) that evaluates family functioning. ThePSPgroup was also followed up 6 months later (Time 3). For trial completers, the clinical improvement rate on theSDQin the treatment group (65%) was significantly greater than that of the control group (20%) at Time 2 and the improvement was maintained at Time 3 (60%). The amelioration in adolescent behaviour problems on theSDQwas correlated with improvement in family adjustment on theSCORE. Treatment completers reported a high level of treatment satisfaction with this model of family therapy.Practitioner pointsPSPis a promising model of family therapy for adolescent emotional and behavioural problems.A distinctive feature of the model is the provision, by a co‐therapy team, of conjoint family sessions and parallel series of sessions to adolescents and parents.The model is described in a treatment manual.

Published: March 2014

ObjectiveTo evaluate the association between different types of anal incontinence (AI) and Quality of Life (QoL) in late pregnancy.DesignCross‐sectional study.SettingTwo maternity units in Norway 2009–2010.PopulationPrimiparae aged 18 or over.MethodsParticipants answered questions about AI during the last 4 weeks of pregnancy on the St. Mark's score and impact of QoL in the Fecal Incontinence QoL score. Socioeconomic data were obtained from hospital records.Main outcome measuresSelf‐reported AI and impact on QoL.Results1571 primiparae responded; 573 (37%) had experienced AI during the last 4 weeks of pregnancy. One third of the incontinent women reported reduced QoL in the domain ‘Coping’. ‘Women experiencing urgency alone reported markedly better QoL compared to any other AI symptoms. AI appeared to have the strongest impact on the domains ‘Coping’ and ‘Embarrassment’. Depression was only associated with experiencing the combination of all three symptoms [odds ratio (OR) 13; 95%confidence interval (CI) 3.2–51]. Experiencing flatus alone weekly or more was associated with the highest impact on ‘Embarrassment’ (OR 20; 95%CI 6.4–61) compared with all other symptoms or combination of AI symptoms, except the combination of all three AI symptoms.ConclusionsBetween 3 and 10% of the primiparae in this material experienced AI to such a extent that it affected QoL. The greatest impact was seen in the QoL domain ‘Coping’. These findings highlight the importance of an increased awareness of AI in late pregnancy among health professionals and the need to implement routine discussions about AI with expectant and new mothers.
Effects of 1‐Methylcyclopropene and Hot Water Quarantine Treatment on Quality of “Keitt” Mangos
Authors: Ngamchuachit Panita , Barrett Diane M. , Mitcham Elizabeth J. 
Published: March 2014

AbstractThe optimal 1‐methylcyclopropene (1‐MCP) treatment to slow ripening of whole “Keitt” mangos, either alone or in combination with hot water treatment (HWT) (prior to or post 1‐MCP) was identified. USDA‐APHIS mandates that HWT can be used for control of fruit flies, but this may affect fruit response to 1‐MCP. Mangos were evaluated by repeated measurement of nondestructive firmness, peel color, and ethylene production on the same mango fruits during 2 wk of ripening at 20 °C after treatment. The magnitude of ethylene production increased as a result of both 1‐MCP and HWT. With softer mangos (65 N), treatment with 1‐MCP alone delayed fruit softening and extended the number of days to full‐ripeness (25 N) from 5 d in untreated fruit to 11 d. For these riper fruit, application of 1‐MCP prior to HWT extended the days to full‐ripeness to 9 d compared with 7 d when 1‐MCP was applied after HWT. With firmer mangos (80 N), 1‐MCP treatments alone prolonged the days to full‐ripeness to 13 d as compared to 11 d for the untreated fruit. There was no significant concentration effect on firmness retention among 1‐MCP treatments (0.5, 1.0, or 10.0 μL/L). HWT resulted in a faster rate of fruit softening, taking only 7 d to reach full‐ripeness. Combining 1‐MCP with HWT reduced the rate of softening compared to HWT alone, resulting in 9 to 11 d to full‐ripeness. Application of 1‐MCP before HWT showed a greater ability to reduce the rate of fruit softening compared with 1‐MCP treatment after HWT.

Authors: Kim Dohun , Cho Juhee , Kim Kwhanmien , Shim Young Mog 
Published: March 2014

AbstractBackgroundThis study aims to evaluate the incidence and characteristics of chyle leakage after curative oncologic esophagectomy, and the effectiveness of thoracic duct ligation.MethodsThis is a retrospective cohort study using the medical records of 1514 patients who underwent curative esophagectomy for esophageal cancer between September 1994 and December 2010. Patients whose pleural fluid analysis corresponded to chyle were included, and drainage patterns by different management groups were examined with multilevel models. The chyle leakage patterns during the time before and after duct ligation were also evaluated, adjusting for demographics, clinical characteristics, and treatment.ResultsThe prevalence of chyle leakage after esophagectomy was 3.8%. The three management groups were as follows: (i) conservative–controlled only with conservative management; (ii) surgical I–duct ligation during the esophagectomy; and (iii) surgical II–duct ligation after the esophagectomy. Pattern analysis determined that drainage of the conservative group was ∼400 mL/day (maximum on postoperative days [POD] = 9.2); drainage of surgical II was ∼1000 mL/day (maximum on POD = 18.1). On average, thoracic duct ligation was performed 18.7 days after the esophagectomy, and drainage significantly decreased after duct ligation (P‐value <0.001).ConclusionsThere was a clear pattern of lower chyle leakage with the patients requiring conservative management compared with those requiring surgical management. Active and prompt surgical management needs to be considered in the early postoperative phase for patients with high‐output (over 1000 mL/day) chyle leakage after esophagectomy.

Published: March 2014

AbstractAimTo investigate the cross‐sectional association between smoking and happiness in Chinese adults in Hong Kong.Design, Setting and ParticipantsTelephone surveys were conducted between 2009 and 2012, with 4553 randomly sampled Chinese adults (male 54%, mean age 58.3 years) in Hong Kong.MeasurementsHappiness was measured using the four‐item Subjective Happiness Scale (SHS) and single‐item Global Happiness Item (GHI). Smoking status was categorized as current smokers (7.7%%), ex‐smokers (6.5%, 93% quit for >6 months) and never smokers (85.8%). Linear and ordinal logistic regressions were used to calculate adjusted β‐coefficients for SHS and proportional adjusted odds ratios (aOR) for GHI in relation to smoking.FindingsCompared with current smokers, ex‐smokers enjoyed greater happiness according to both SHS (adjusted β = 0.16, P < 0.05) and GHI (aOR = 1.52, P < 0.05) measurements, but current and never smokers were similar. Among current smokers, the number of cigarettes smoked was not associated with happiness, but the lack of any attempt to quit was associated significantly with greater happiness (adjusted β = 0.31 for SHS, aOR = 1.82 for GHI) compared with smokers who had tried to quit but not succeeded. Smokers not intending to quit in the next 6 months had higher odds of happiness (GHI) than those wanting to quit within 6 months (aOR = 1.86, P < 0.05).ConclusionsEx‐smokers in Hong Kong are happier than current smokers and never smokers, whose happiness measurements are similar. Causal associations have yet to be established.
