Events and urban space: a challenging relationship?
Authors: Richards Greg 
Published: April 2024

Purpose
This paper aims to consider the relationship between urban events and urban public space, asking whether cities have enough space for events and whether events have enough space in cities.

Design/methodology/approach
Policy analysis surrounding events and festivals in the Netherlands is used to understand the dynamics of urban events, supported by content analysis of policy documents. A vignette of event space struggles in Amsterdam illustrates the contradictions of the event/space relationship.

Findings
The research identifies a policy shift in the Netherlands towards urban events from expansive, festivalisation strategies to defensive, NIMBYist policies. It exposes contradictions between protecting space as a living resource and the exploitation of space for regenerative purposes. Three future scenarios for urban events are outlined: conflict and competition, growth and harmony and digitalisation and virtualisation.

Practical implications
Develops scenarios for the future relationship between events and urban space.

Originality/value
Provides an analysis of the recursive spatial implications of the growth of the events sector for cities and the growth of cities for events.
Documentation practices of hypogea churches of Ethiopia: the case of Lay Gayint Woreda, South Gondar
Authors: Ebabey Tsegaye , Italemahu Tesfaye Zeleke 
Published: April 2024

PurposeThis study aims to document the hypogea churches in Lay Gayint Woreda, South Gondar, to provide information for future tourism development practices and serve as insurance against loss of value due to unmanaged deteriorative factors.Design/methodology/approachThe study followed a descriptive research design with qualitative research approach. Data were collected through field observations, interviews and written sources examination.FindingsThe study explored the lesser-known hypogea churches, which have significant tourist attraction values, including environmental, historical and architectural significance. However, the use of these potential cultural resources for tourism development is not yet attempted, and their conservation status is found to be critical. This documentation work is significant both for the sake of future tourism development plans and as insurance against looming cultural losses.Research limitations/implicationsThis study did not record the ancient treasures of the churches because of the current political instabilities that hindered the access of data. However, it has implication for the need of an extensive documentation activity to trace the cultural resources in the remote areas of the country for future tourism development and conservation practices.Originality/valueThis paper documented the remote hypogea churches not only for the purpose of future tourism development plan but also as an insurance of their values against unmanaged destructive factors.
Hospitality in healthcare: the impacts of utilitarian and hedonic value perceptions on behavioral intentions in the context of medical hotels
Authors: Chaulagain Suja 
Published: April 2024

PurposeApplying the value-attitude-behavior (VAB) model, this study investigated how perceived utilitarian and hedonic values (i.e. novelty and emotion) affect individuals' attitudes toward medical hotels and how these attitudes, in turn, influence their intentions to stay at medical hotels. The current study also explored the moderating impact of overall health status on the relationships between perceived utilitarian, novelty and emotional values and attitudes toward medical hotels.Design/methodology/approachThe data collected from 351 individuals who spent a night in a hospital to undergo medical treatment was used in conducting structural equation modeling to evaluate the research model and test the study hypotheses.FindingsThe study results revealed that perceived utilitarian, novelty and emotional values exerted a positive influence on individuals’ attitudes toward medical hotels, consequently enhancing their intention to stay. Additionally, significant moderating impacts of overall health status on the associations between perceived utilitarian, novelty and emotional values and attitudes toward medical hotels were observed.Practical implicationsThe study findings provide useful guidance for professionals, such as operators, marketers and managers in medical hotels. These insights can improve operational and marketing strategies, benefiting both the industry and healthcare accommodation seekers.Originality/valueThis study is among the first to empirically assess a theoretical model that explored the influence of individuals' value perceptions within the realm of medical hotel establishments.
When the victims fight back: the influence of workplace ostracism on employee knowledge sabotage behavior
Authors: Tan Zhihong , Yuan Ling , Wang Junli , Wan Qunchao 
Published: April 2024

Purpose
This study aims to investigate the negative interpersonal antecedents, emotional mediators and boundary conditions of knowledge sabotage behavior.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors collected data from 275 Chinese employees using convenience sampling and snowball sampling across three stages. Subsequently, the authors used both hierarchical regression and bootstrap methods to test the proposed hypotheses.

Findings
The results confirmed that workplace ostracism has positive effects on employee knowledge sabotage behavior both directly and via employee anger. In addition, the authors found that employee bottom-line mentality (BLM) moderates not only the direct effect of workplace ostracism on employee anger but also the indirect effect of employee anger in this context. Employee conscientiousness moderates only the direct effect of workplace ostracism on employee anger and does not moderate the indirect effect.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study not only explores the influence of workplace ostracism on employee knowledge sabotage behavior for the first time but also elucidates the underlying emotional mechanisms (anger) and boundary conditions (employee BLM and conscientiousness) by which workplace ostracism influences employee knowledge sabotage behavior, thus deepening the understanding of how knowledge sabotage emerges in organizations.
Factors influencing customers’ intention to adopt e-banking: a TAM and cybercrime perspective using structural equation modelling
Authors: Kaulu Byrne , Kaulu Goodwell , Chilongo Pearson 
Published: April 2024

PurposeThis study assesses the factors influencing customers’ intention to adopt e-banking in the context of the technology acceptance model and the moderation role of cybercrime.Design/methodology/approachThe variables in the study are measured using a five-point Likert scale with measures adopted from existing literature. The independent variables are perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness and security and privacy. These are postulated to be moderated by the perceived risk of cybercrime and to influence e-banking adoption intentions. A quantitative approach is used. Primary data are collected from a sample of 209 randomly selected bank customers. The study uses a two-step (measurement model and structural model) approach to data analysis.FindingsThe key findings in this study are that perceived risk of cybercrime strengthens the positive relationship between perceived ease of use and e-banking adoption intentions but dampens or weakens the positive relationship between perceived usefulness and customers’ e-banking adoption intentions. The study makes several recommendations to inform scholarship, policy and practice.Originality/valueUnlike existing literature, the study makes a unique contribution by including perceived risk of cybercrime as a moderating variable of theoretical significance in the relationship between adoption of e-banking and its determinants.

Authors: Mahmoud Salwa Moustafa Amer , Hamdy Tarek , Fares Mohamed , Ayman Wissam , Muhamed Shrouk , Abdel Khaliq Aya , Salah Lilian 
Published: April 2024

Purpose
This paper aims to investigate the ability of traditional biopolymers, such as funori or the nanoscale form of cellulose nanocrystals, to consolidate fragile paper and preserve it for as long as possible.

Design/methodology/approach
Degraded papers dating back two centuries were separated into paper samples for consolidation processes. Funori – a marine spleen – was used as a traditional consolidation material and a mixture with ZnO NPs compared with modern materials, such as cellulose nanocrystals. The samples were aged for 25 years, examinations and analyses were performed using scanning electron microscopy and color change was assessed using the CIELAB system, X-ray diffraction and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy.

Findings
According to the results, using traditional materials to consolidate damage, such as funori, after aging resulted in glossiness on the surface, a color change and increased water content and oxidation. Furthermore, samples treated with a mixture of ZnO NPs and funori revealed that the mixture improved the sample properties and increased the degree of crystallization. Cellulose nanocrystals improved the surface, filled gaps, formed bridges between the fibers and acted as a protector from aging effects.

Originality/value
This paper highlights the ability of nanomaterials to enhance the properties of materials as additives and treat the paper manuscripts from weaknesses.
Ocean ecosystem services: modeling a factor development process to create sustainable value for decisions
Authors: Figueiredo Ronnie , Cabral Pedro 
Published: April 2024

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to model a process for moving toward sustainable ecosystem service decisions in a Coastal Biodiversity and discuss the directions of the process for decision-makers to apply in ocean ecosystem services.

Design/methodology/approach
After the development of theoretical approaches to understand their prospects for the future development of ecosystem services, the authors worked on a process for developing factors for sustainable decision-making. It uses the Delphi method to develop all the factors supported by six dimensions in two specific moments: deductive-inductive and inductive-deductive.

Findings
This process of modeling the factors expands the possibility of adaptive governance to make prior and subsequent decisions using factors related to dimensions, stakeholders and benefits, risks, opportunities and costs.

Research limitations/implications
Considering the limitations, future studies could use another database to widen the view in terms of the studies, factors, dimensions and other additional information to maintain the evolution of this process in ocean ecosystem services decision-making. Another limitation arose in the number of projects and experts defining the factors. This may prevent the opportunity to have more impact in terms of future decisions if more sources are used in the market. In addition, time and the access to experts during this modeling process demonstrate a limitation, as does the time for feedback.

Practical implications
This set of factors developed for adaptive governance decision-making can be applied to develop a prior alignment of stakeholder interests with sustainable practices.

Social implications
This set of factors developed with the intervention of experts reinforces the importance of sustainable collective decisions on ocean ecosystem services. This is a joint approach with participants in the NextOcean project, sponsored by the European Commissions (EC)’s Horizon 2020 program. An Earth Observation-based Consortia aims to create sustainable value for Space, Land and Oceans.

Originality/value
This modeling process generated dimensions and factors to support adaptive governance stakeholders in making sustainable decisions in a coastal biodiversity zone.

SummaryDespite advancements in utilizing genetic markers to enhance acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) outcome prediction, significant disease heterogeneity persists, hindering clinical management. To refine survival predictions, we assessed the transcriptome of non‐acute promyelocytic leukaemia chemotherapy‐treated AML patients from five cohorts (n = 975). This led to the identification of a 4‐gene prognostic index (4‐PI) comprising CYP2E1, DHCR7, IL2RA and SQLE. The 4‐PI effectively stratified patients into risk categories, with the high 4‐PI group exhibiting TP53 mutations and cholesterol biosynthesis signatures. Single‐cell RNA sequencing revealed enrichment for leukaemia stem cell signatures in high 4‐PI cells. Validation across three cohorts (n = 671), including one with childhood AML, demonstrated the reproducibility and clinical utility of the 4‐PI, even using cost‐effective techniques like real‐time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Comparative analysis with 56 established prognostic indexes revealed the superior performance of the 4‐PI, highlighting its potential to enhance AML risk stratification. Finally, the 4‐PI demonstrated to be potential marker to reclassified patients from the intermediate ELN2017 category to the adverse category. In conclusion, the 4‐PI emerges as a robust and straightforward prognostic tool to improve survival prediction in AML patients.
SENS: Part‐Aware Sketch‐based Implicit Neural Shape Modeling
Authors: Binninger Alexandre , Hertz Amir , Sorkine‐Hornung Olga , Cohen‐Or Daniel , Giryes Raja 
Published: April 2024

AbstractWe present SENS, a novel method for generating and editing 3D models from hand‐drawn sketches, including those of abstract nature. Our method allows users to quickly and easily sketch a shape, and then maps the sketch into the latent space of a part‐aware neural implicit shape architecture. SENS analyzes the sketch and encodes its parts into ViT patch encoding, subsequently feeding them into a transformer decoder that converts them to shape embeddings suitable for editing 3D neural implicit shapes. SENS provides intuitive sketch‐based generation and editing, and also succeeds in capturing the intent of the user's sketch to generate a variety of novel and expressive 3D shapes, even from abstract and imprecise sketches. Additionally, SENS supports refinement via part reconstruction, allowing for nuanced adjustments and artifact removal. It also offers part‐based modeling capabilities, enabling the combination of features from multiple sketches to create more complex and customized 3D shapes. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our model compared to the state‐of‐the‐art using objective metric evaluation criteria and a user study, both indicating strong performance on sketches with a medium level of abstraction. Furthermore, we showcase our method's intuitive sketch‐based shape editing capabilities, and validate it through a usability study.

Published: April 2024

AbstractBackgroundThe Headache Impact Test (HIT‐6) is an important patient‐reported outcome measure (PROM) in migraine prevention trials.ObjectivesThis study aimed to (i) assess the reliability and validity of the Arabic version of HIT‐6 in Arabic‐speaking patients experiencing migraine, and (ii) evaluate the responsiveness of HIT‐6 following migraine preventive therapy.MethodsIn this prospective study, patients with migraine (n = 145) were requested to fill out a headache diary, the Arabic version of HIT‐6, and Migraine Disability Assessment Scale (MIDAS) at two time points (baseline and 3 months after initiation of prophylactic treatment). Some respondents (n = 73) were requested to fill out HIT‐6 again 1 week from the baseline for test–retest reliability. The intensity of migraine headache attacks was evaluated using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). An anchor‐based method was used to establish the minimal important change (MIC) value and responsiveness of HIT‐6.ResultsThe total scores of HIT‐6 were significantly correlated to a fair degree with MIDAS (r = 0.41), as well as VAS (r = 0.53), and monthly migraine days (r = 0.38) at the baseline while at the follow‐up (after 3 months), the correlations were of moderate degree with MIDAS scores (r = 0.62) and monthly migraine days (r = 0.60; convergent validity). Reliability estimates of the Arabic HIT‐6 were excellent (Cronbach's α = 0.91 at baseline and 0.89 at follow‐up). The average measure interclass correlation coefficient (ICC) value for the test–retest reliability was 0.96 (95% confidence interval = 0.94–0.98, p < 0.001). The HIT‐6 total score is sensitive to change, being significantly reduced after prophylactic treatment compared to before (effect size = 1.5, standardized response mean = 1.3). A reduction from baseline of 4.5 on HIT‐6 showed the highest responsiveness to predict improvement with an area under the curve equal to 0.66, sensitivity of 80%, specificity of 45%, and significance at 0.021. Changes in the HIT‐6 total score were positively correlated with changes in monthly migraine days (r = 0.40) and VAS scores (r = 0.69) but not with changes in the score of MIDAS (r = 0.07).ConclusionThe Arabic version of HIT‐6 is valid, reliable, and sensitive to detect clinical changes following migraine prophylactic treatment with a MIC of 4.5 points.

AbstractCertain guidelines recommend a second‐generation H1‐antihistamine (AH) as first‐line treatment for patients with chronic urticaria (CU). However, some patients show insufficient response to a standard dose of this therapy and might benefit from adding leukotriene receptor antagonists (LTA). Therefore, we aimed to perform a systematic review and meta‐analysis comparing LTA plus antihistamines with antihistamines alone. We performed a systematic review and meta‐analysis, searching PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Central for randomized clinical trial (RCT) data comparing LTA plus AH treatment to AH alone in patients with CU. Statistical analysis was performed using R Studio 4.3.2. Heterogeneity was assessed with I2 statistics. Three studies comprising 234 patients with urticaria were included. The mean age was 37.23 years in the leukotriene antagonist + antihistamines (LTA + AH) group and 39.14 years in the antihistamines (AH) group. Follow‐up ranged from 2 to 18 months between studies. There was no statistically significant difference between groups in terms of TSS level (SMD: −74.82; 95% CI: −222.66 to 73.02; P = 0.32; I2 = 98%), neither in terms of pruritus (MD: −0.07; 95% CI: −0.42 to 0.28; P = 0.70; I2 = 74%). After sensitivity analysis, with the systematic exclusion of each study from the grouped estimates, the result for TSS level did not change. These findings suggest that leukotriene receptor antagonists with antihistamines do not have better outcomes than antihistamines alone regarding TSS and pruritus in patients with CU.
Maxwell–Wagner effect and second harmonic generation in gradient structures
Authors: Scherbak Sergey , Reshetov Ilya , Zhurikhina Valentina , Lipovskii Andrey 
Published: April 2024

AbstractFor the first time, we have registered, studied, and modeled the Maxwell–Wagner effect in structures with a smooth gradient of charge carriers’ mobility. The Maxwell–Wagner charge, formed after applying a DC voltage to the gradient structure at room temperature, is distributed over the entire region of the gradient. The experiments were performed with slides of a soda‐lime glass subjected to sodium‐to‐potassium ion exchange, where the ions concentration gradient provides gradient of conductivity while dielectric permittivity stays the same. The electric field generated by the Maxwell–Wagner charge is concentrated in potassium‐enriched less conductive regions of the slide and is sufficiently high to induce the second order optical nonlinearity in the initially isotropic glass. The effect causes over 100‐fold increase in a second harmonic signal relative to the signal from the surface of a virgin glass. This phenomenon in graded‐concentration structures is perspective for characterizing interfacial charges, geometry of the gradient regions, and spatial distribution of electrical conductivity in micro‐ and optoelectronic semiconductor structures.
In situ study of microstructural evolution of borosilicate glass–sulfate mixture at high temperatures

Published: April 2024

AbstractMicrostructural evolution of borosilicate glass–sulfate (BaSO4 or Na2SO4) mixture was observed in situ using a high‐temperature confocal scanning laser microscope. The phase compositions and sulfate retention of the mixture at different temperatures were also examined. The results indicate that for the glass–BaSO4 sample (abbreviated as BS), the borosilicate glass begins to melt at about 900°C, and the triangular BaSO4 crystals grow obviously between 900°C and 1100°C. At temperatures above 1100°C, the BaSO4 crystals gradually melt and decompose. For the glass–Na2SO4 sample (abbreviated as NS), strip‐shaped BaSO4 crystals begin to form at about 820°C after the borosilicate glass melting, and then gradually melt with further increasing temperature. When the temperature increases to 1000°C, the upper layer of the NS sample possesses Na2SO4, LiNaSO4, and BaSO4 phases, while the lower layer possesses an amorphous phase. Moreover, the SO3 retention in the BS sample remains almost unchanged with temperature increases from 900°C to 1100°C, and then decreases with further increasing temperature. The SO3 retention retained in the NS sample decreases rapidly at temperatures above 900°C. These findings can provide a guidance for vitrifying sulfur‐rich high‐level liquid waste.
