The institutional e-lending setup in Scandinavian libraries: logics in play in the eyes of library and policy actors
Authors: Liguzinski Maciej , Kann-Rasmussen Nanna 
Published: April 2024

PurposeThe article investigates the institutional setup of e-lending in public libraries in Denmark, Norway and Sweden. Our point of departure is that e-lending has necessitated new library collaborations between local, regional and national levels, and therefore, institutional e-lending setups have emerged. The study seeks to provide better understanding of how the institutional setups are structured, how governance logics have shaped them and what tensions and dynamics become visible in the key actors’ problematisations of these setups.Design/methodology/approachThe study is situated in the neo-institutional tradition and applies the institutional logics perspective. The research questions are answered by taking a qualitative approach, grounded in an extensive interview study with representatives of libraries, publishers and policy actors in three Scandinavian countries. To provide in-depth insight into e-lending setups, the scope of empirical material is then limited to accounts the central library and policy actors involved in establishing e-lending.FindingsThe analysis shows that the e-lending setups are both similar (especially when it comes to financing), and different across Scandinavia, especially when it comes to centralisation and involvement of librarians in this task. The differences are attributed to the influence of different governance logics (question of administrative autonomy, collaboration in the field and existing legal and political frames), and to what extent the digital and market logics are incorporated or rejected in the field.Originality/valueThe study provides new insights into the question of how Scandinavian public libraries face the consequences of the digitalisation of book distribution and consumption by investigating how they organise their e-lending services. This has not been explored before, notably in a comparative perspective.

Authors: Krenn Melanie Luise , Chiarvesio Maria 
Published: April 2024

PurposeThis empirical paper investigates how entrepreneurial firms change their business models in the context of internationalization by identifying different forms of business model innovation (BMI) and exploring the interrelationship between BMI and internationalization.Design/methodology/approachBased on the dynamic states approach of entrepreneurship (Levie and Lichtenstein, 2010), this paper analyses primary and secondary data from nine European firms following a multiple case study approach.FindingsThis paper presents four patterns of radical change and eight types of incremental adaption with-in business models in the context of internationalization. We describe these BMI patterns and types, and we also show how they contribute to increasing involvement in international business activities and the internationalization-related triggers that might cause them.Originality/valueThis paper contributes to a better understanding of the BMI process in the course of internationalization. It also highlights the complex interrelationship between BMI and internationalization by building on a progressive theoretical approach.
The influences on the status of information technology governance implementations in Malaysia’s technical universities
Authors: Liew Chin Wei , Hamid Nor Aziati Abdul 
Published: April 2024

Purpose
This study aims to collect empirical data and observe the type of influences that were causing impact to the implementation of information technology governance (ITG) mechanisms in Malaysia’s technical universities. This study enhanced the understanding on the status of ITG implementation and revealed internal and external influences that were shaping the types of ITG mechanisms implemented within universities and present a new perspective through the lens of resource-based view and continuous improvement.

Design/methodology/approach
This study focused on two Malaysia’s technical universities belongs under same university’s network. Five IT leaders involved in the implementations of ITG from each university were interviewed. Qualitative content analysis was used as the main analyzing method to extract categories and themes from the transcripts. Final results were produced after multiple efforts of refining categories and themes in ITG implementations.

Findings
The findings revealed that both Malaysia’s technical universities had more soundly implementations in structure mechanisms than relational and process mechanisms. The shaping of implemented mechanisms was influenced by environment surrounding the universities, internally and externally. The findings proposed that the internal and external factors are best addressed with the growth of internal ITG expertise.

Research limitations/implications
This research was conducted on two of Malaysia’s technical universities that were under a university network. Although both universities had presented the exact trend in the type of ITG mechanisms implemented in the universities, more empirical data were needed to further solidify the findings from this study. Other than that, the major respondents for this research were middle-level IT officers and leaders in the universities. Further research could be conducted specifically on top-level managements to further understand the point of views of top managements in the aspect of ITG mechanisms implementations in universities.

Originality/value
This study discussed how each factor could influence the types of ITG mechanisms implemented in Malaysia’s technical universities and concluded the attentions needed to improve the overall environment for ITG implementations in universities through the lens of resource-based view and continuous improvement.

Published: April 2024

PurposeThe environment in which users acquire medical and health information has changed dramatically, with online health communities (OHCs) emerging as an essential means for accessing health information. It is imperative to comprehend the factors that shape the users' compliance willingness (UCW) to health information in OHCs.Design/methodology/approachThis study adopted the information adoption model (IAM) and theory of planned behavior (TPB) to investigate the influence of argument quality (AQ), source credibility (SC) and subjective norms (SN) on UCW while considering the two types of online health information – mature and emerging treatments. The authors conducted an explanatory-predictive study based on a 2 (treatment types: mature vs. emerging) * 2 (AQ: high vs. low) * 2 (SC: high vs. low) scenario-based experiment, using the partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM).FindingsSC positively influences AQ. AQ, SC and SN contribute to information usefulness (IU). These factors positively affect UCW through the mediation of IU. SN were found to improve UCW directly. Moreover, the moderating effect of SC on AQ and IU was more substantial for emerging treatments.Originality/valueThe research model integrates IAM and TPB, considering information types as an additional variable. The approach and findings provide a valuable explanation for UCW to health information in OHCs.
Impacts of umbrella species management on non‐target species
Authors: Zarri Elise C. , Naugle David E. , Martin Thomas E. 
Published: April 2024

Abstract

Restoration of anthropogenically altered habitats has often focused on management for umbrella species—vulnerable species whose conservation is thought to benefit co‐occurring species. Woody plant encroachment is a form of habitat alteration occurring in grasslands and shrublands around the globe, driven by anthropogenic shifts in disturbance regimes. Conifer encroachment is a pervasive threat to historically widespread sagebrush communities, as trees outcompete sagebrush and can negatively affect sagebrush‐obligate animal species. Degradation and loss of sagebrush plant communities in western North America have been associated with drastic declines in wildlife populations. The imperilled Greater Sage‐Grouse is assumed to be an umbrella species for the sagebrush community, so habitat restoration, including removal of encroaching conifers, is commonly targeted towards sage‐grouse. How this conservation action affects the demography of species other than sage‐grouse is largely unknown.

We quantified the demographic effects of landscape‐level restoration of sagebrush communities through conifer removal on an assemblage of sagebrush‐obligate, shrubland generalist and woodland‐associated songbirds. We compared songbird density and reproduction between adjacent restored and uncut conifer‐encroached sagebrush plots in southwest Montana. We found and monitored nests to record nest fate and number of offspring produced.

We found demographic benefits for sagebrush‐obligate species in restored areas. Sage Thrashers colonized restored areas. Brewer's Sparrow density was 39% higher and nest success was 63% higher in removal treatments, resulting in 119% higher fledgling production compared with uncut areas. The density of Vesper Sparrows, a shrubland generalist, was 308% higher and fledgling production was 660% higher in restored areas.

Another shrubland generalist, the White‐crowned Sparrow, experienced 55% lower density and 37% lower fledgling production in conifer removal areas. Two woodland‐associated species, Chipping Sparrows and Dark‐eyed Juncos, were nearly extirpated following conifer removal. A third woodland associate, the Green‐tailed Towhee, experienced 57% lower density and 69% lower fledgling production in removal than non‐removal areas.

Synthesis and applications. Our study demonstrates the benefits of conifer removal for sagebrush‐obligate species, while highlighting species that may be sensitive. Umbrella species management can benefit co‐occurring species with similar habitat associations, but demographic analyses for all impacted species are essential for effective conservation.

Published: April 2024

AbstractActinomycetota, associated with macroalgae, remains one of the least explored marine niches. The secondary metabolism of Actinomycetota, the primary microbial source of compounds relevant to biotechnology, continues to drive research into the distribution, dynamics, and metabolome of these microorganisms. In this study, we employed a combination of traditional cultivation and metagenomic analysis to investigate the diversity of Actinomycetota in two native macroalgae species from the Portuguese coast. We obtained and taxonomically identified a collection of 380 strains, which were distributed across 12 orders, 15 families, and 25 genera affiliated with the Actinomycetia class, with Streptomyces making up approximately 60% of the composition. Metagenomic results revealed the presence of Actinomycetota in both Chondrus crispus and Codium tomentosum datasets, with relative abundances of 11% and 2%, respectively. This approach identified 12 orders, 16 families, and 17 genera affiliated with Actinomycetota, with minimal overlap with the cultivation results. Acidimicrobiales emerged as the dominant actinobacterial order in both macroalgae, although no strain affiliated with this taxonomic group was successfully isolated. Our findings suggest that macroalgae represent a hotspot for Actinomycetota. The synergistic use of both culture‐dependent and independent approaches proved beneficial, enabling the identification and recovery of not only abundant but also rare taxonomic members.

Published: April 2024

AbstractObjectiveTo understand the reach, adoption and implementation of the evidence that buddy strapping for uncomplicated fifth metacarpal neck fractures is non‐inferior to plaster casting.MethodsMixed‐method study using clinical audit of the years before and after the original randomised controlled study was published (2019) and staff questionnaires/semi‐structured interviews.ResultsSixty‐nine percent of questionnaire respondents were aware of the original study findings (i.e. reach) and 57% had adopted the research findings. The proportion of patients receiving buddy strapping was 6% in 2014–2016 and 28% in 2019–2021 (implementation). Qualitative data provided insight into ongoing barriers to adoption and implementation including fear of reprisal, the need for permission, opinions of senior decision makers, perceptions about patient preferences, and an overall tendency to ‘play it safe’.ConclusionsEven in a department where primary research is conducted, implementation requires ongoing attention to factors impacting reach and adoption.

Published: April 2024

AbstractIntroductionThis review identified and appraised Australian open‐access online resources relating to feeding and nutrition during the first 5 years of life.MethodsEligible resources were identified by hand searching plus a targeted search of pertinent source websites (government, hospitals and health services, peak bodies, and nutrition organisations) published in English with/without translations to other languages between 2012 and 2022. Search terms relating to the population (children) AND topic (nutrition OR feeding) were entered into Google and Bing. Critical appraisal of each resource was conducted using a modified version of the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention Clear Communication Index.ResultsThe search identified 1327 nutrition resources, of which 1067 were appraised. Forty‐five percent were paper‐based resources, 47% were online content only, and 8% audio‐visual resources. Almost half of the resources (45%) broadly addressed the 0–5 years age range, and 24% provided information on breast or formula feeding. Limited resources were found specifically addressing growth and development (5%) and introducing solids (8%). Only 10% of resources were culturally tailored and only 3% were translated into a language other than English. Appraisal showed the majority included visual cues and appropriate language, but less included images to support the main message of the resource.DiscussionAlthough there were a large volume of evidence‐based nutrition resources available in Australia for feeding children under 5 years, they were highly dispersed and of varying quality. Collating and presenting these resources in an open‐access resource hub would empower families and education and health professionals in the nutritional care of young children.
A lead article to go deeper and broader in job insecurity research: Understanding an individual perception in its social and political context

Published: April 2024

AbstractJob insecurity, that is, the perceived threat of job loss or of valued job features, is a well‐documented stressor with negative consequences for employees. This lead article proposes to advance the field by going both deeper and broader in linking individual job insecurity experiences to their social context on the microlevel (individual characteristics), the mesolevel (the individual's immediate social context such as organizations) and the macrolevel (the wider context such as countries). Going deeper, we discuss theoretical and methodological approaches to investigate how job insecurity affects employees' experience of work but also their identity and life outside work—essentially, how people view themselves and their place in society. Going broader, we review evidence of macrolevel influences as predictors and moderators of job insecurity, as well as the effects of job insecurity on political attitudes and behaviour. Taken together, we discuss these two streams of research as top‐down and bottom‐up mechanisms in the interplay between individual job insecurity experiences and their socio‐political context. We conclude with suggestions for future research and theory development to move the field forward. We hope to provide a fruitful point of departure to delve into the mechanisms between experiences of job insecurity and the broader social context.
The plasticisation model of dye diffusion: Part 1 introduction
Authors: Burkinshaw Stephen M. 
Published: April 2024

AbstractThis paper introduces a novel plasticisation model of dye diffusion which recognises the fundamentally important mechanistic roles that macromolecule glass transition and water‐induced fibre/polymer plasticisation adopt in aqueous immersion dyeing processes. In essence, the model assumes that the temperature dependent diffusivity of all classes/types of dye molecule within the water‐saturated amorphous domains present in all types of common semi‐crystalline textile fibres/polymers, is governed by the thermally regulated relaxation times of the structural rearrangements occurring within the water‐saturated, water‐swollen, water‐plasticised fibre/polymer, as articulated in terms of the constructs of polymer chain segmental mobility and available free volume.

AbstractAimOur aim was to assess the population structure, genetic diversity and demographic history of the wolverine (Gulo gulo) throughout its entire Eurasian range. Additionally, we aimed to contextualize and put into perspective the state of the endangered Fennoscandian population by emphasizing its connectivity to other populations.LocationThe main study area covered most of the Eurasian wolverine range, with samples from Finland, Russia, Kazakhstan and Mongolia.MethodsUsing a 495 bp fragment of the mitochondrial DNA control region and a frequently used set of 14 microsatellite markers on an extensive dataset of samples, we assessed the population structure, genetic diversity, and demographic history of wolverines with a variety of population genetic analyses.ResultsAccording to both nuclear and mitochondrial genetic markers, Eurasian wolverines exhibit substructure, with the most distinct population located in Fennoscandia. The Fennoscandian population has undergone a genetic bottleneck, likely influencing its genetic diversity, which is notably the lowest in Eurasia. Genetic diversity in the rest of Eurasia gradually rises towards the central part of the range and decreases again in the east, although not as significantly as in the west.Main ConclusionsThis study reveals the population structure of wolverines across Eurasia and provides direction for allocating conservation efforts to sustain a diverse and connected wolverine population. While most of the Eurasian populations seem to be well‐connected and genetically diverse, the Fennoscandian wolverines may need better connectivity to the other Eurasian populations to ensure gene flow and long‐term persistence. Our study further highlights the importance of considering the population genetic structure and diversity of the entire species range when planning management strategies.

AbstractAimTo assess the predictive capabilities of the Baby Observational Selective Control AppRaisal (BabyOSCAR) tool, administered at 3 months corrected age, in determining spastic cerebral palsy (CP) outcome, functional abilities, and body topography at 2 years of age or later.MethodIndependent joint motions were measured at age 10 to 16 weeks from video recordings of spontaneous movement using BabyOSCAR in a sample of 75 infants. All included infants had known 2‐year outcomes (45 with spastic CP and 30 without CP) including Gross Motor Functional Classification System (GMFCS) levels and CP body distribution. Receiver operating characteristic curves and cut points indicating greatest sensitivity and specificity were generated for predictive performance.ResultsTotal BabyOSCAR score was a strong predictor of future outcome of spastic CP (cut score of 22.5, sensitivity = 98%, specificity = 100%, area under the curve = 0.99), and was able to distinguish children classified in GMFCS levels I and II from those in III to V (cut score of 13.5, sensitivity = 92%, specificity = 89%, area under the curve = 0.94). Having an (absolute) asymmetry score on the BabyOSCAR of more than 5 was a predictor of having unilateral CP at age 2 years (sensitivity = 56%, specificity = 100%, area under the curve = 0.86).InterpretationBabyOSCAR scores are predictors of diagnosis, body distribution, and future gross motor function in infants with spastic CP at 2 years of age or later.What this paper adds

Decreased independent joint movement at 3 months predicts spastic cerebral palsy (CP) at 2 years.
Baby Observational Selective Control AppRaisal (BabyOSCAR) scores ≤13 are predictive of Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) levels III to V.
BabyOSCAR scores of 14 to 22 are predictive of GMFCS levels I and II.
A BabyOSCAR total asymmetry score >5 predicts unilateral CP.
Stereotyped movements are more prominent in those who will be diagnosed with spastic CP at 2 years.
