Study on the influence of non-Gaussian honing surface on contact and flow characteristics
Authors: Tang Yihu , Huang Li , Meng Xianghui 
Published: December 2023

Purpose
The contact and lubrication performances, which were previously estimated assuming a Gaussian surface, are insufficient due to the non-Gaussian surface characteristics of the honing liner. The purpose of this study is to analyze the liner honing surface and examine its effects on the contact and flow performance.

Design/methodology/approach
The fast Fourier transform (FFT) method was used to generate the liner honing texture. Subsequently, an elastoplastic contact model based on boundary element theory was constructed and simulated for the honing surface. The results were compared with those obtained using a Gaussian surface. In addition, flow factors of the honing surfaces were also compared.

Findings
The contact pressure and flow factors demonstrate significant disparities when dealing with non-Gaussian surfaces. In the deterministic model, the pressure exhibits considerably diminished magnitudes and a more evenly distribution. Moreover, when the gap between surfaces is narrow, the discrepancy in flow factor across different directions on the real honing surface becomes more prominent compared with the Gaussian surface.

Originality/value
The model incorporates the influence of the non-Gaussian honing surface, thereby enabling more accurate prediction.

Financial management and family business: a perspective article
Authors: Strong John Scott 
Published: December 2023

PurposeThis study aims to review major themes and findings of research into financial management of family business and to suggest new directions for future research.Design/methodology/approachThis is a perspective article beginning with literature review to summarize prior research and to identify main findings and issues. The paper then develops themes, questions and opportunities for future research.FindingsThis paper presents a summary of principal research streams in the financial management of family business. Prior research has found significant differences in financial performance, in financial policies and in ownership and governance structures and behavior. These research findings vary by industry, by country and by stage of economic development. While extensions of these streams will add additional richness to the author’s understanding of finance in family business, recent innovations in the role and organization of the firm and in access to key resources suggest promising new research paths. There are also important lessons from financial practices in family business that have broader applicability.Originality/valueThis is a perspective article suggesting that many financial and governance issues central to family business have broader applicability to nonfamily business. Substantial value can be added by applying these learnings to a broader corporate finance context. Innovations in financing, governance and organizational design are transforming financial management in family business. In addition, changes in markets and industries create new opportunities for financing family business and for new strategic opportunities.
Dialogue for strategy implementation: how framing processes enable the evolution of new opportunities
Authors: Bellis Paola , Magnanini Silvia , Verganti Roberto 
Published: December 2023

Purpose
Taking the dialogic organizational development perspective, this study aims to investigate the framing processes when engaging in dialogue for strategy implementation and how these enable the evolution of implementation opportunities.

Design/methodology/approach
Through a qualitative exploratory study conducted in a large multinational, the authors analyse the dialogue and interactions among 25 dyads when identifying opportunities to contribute to strategy implementation. The data analysis relies on a process-coding approach and linkography, a valuable protocol analysis for identifying recursive interaction schemas in conversations.

Findings
The authors identify four main framing processes – shaping, unveiling, scattering and shifting – and provide a framework of how these processes affect individuals’ mental models through increasing the tangibility of opportunities or elevating them to new value hierarchies.

Research limitations/implications
From a theoretical perspective, this study contributes to the strategy implementation and organizational development literature, providing a micro-perspective of how dialogue allows early knowledge structures to emerge and shape the development of opportunities for strategy implementation.

Practical implications
From a managerial perspective, the authors offer insights to trigger action and change in individuals to contribute to strategy when moving from formulation to implementation.

Originality/value
Rather than focusing on the structural control view of strategy implementation and the role of the top management team, this study considers strategy implementation as a practice and what it takes for organizational actors who do not take part in strategy formulation to enact and shape opportunities for strategy implementation through constructive dialogue.
How does a shared cognitive schema emerge and evolve in an interdisciplinary research team: a case study of IAM
Authors: Duan Xuening , Chang Yu , Huang Wei , Hasan Md Moynul 
Published: December 2023

PurposeA shared cognitive schema is the fundamental source of tacit understanding within a team. This study aims to address how such a shared cognitive schema emerges and evolves in an interdisciplinary research team.Design/methodology/approachThis study uses an exploratory single case study to analyze the emergence and evolution of a shared cognitive schema in an interdisciplinary research team systematically. The authors spent more than two years collecting data from the IAM team via semistructured interviews, archival data and observation. Subsequently, a framework for the resulting mechanism model was developed by analyzing the data using a three-step process.FindingsThis study shows that as the interdisciplinary research team develops, the shared cognitive schema passes through three stages: overlapping cognitive schema, complementary cognitive schema and synergetic cognitive schema. The mechanisms of overlap, complement and synergy play important roles. The convergent roles of partner-based recruiting, knowledge categorization and following the existing institution facilitate the overlapping of knowledge structures. Complementary cognitive schema sharing is facilitated by interdisciplinary member selection, knowledge stock expansion and the effects of accomplished mentors. The synergetic behaviors of group voice, interactive cognition and adaptive learning facilitate synergetic cognitive schema sharing.Originality/valueThis study is the first to discuss the emergence and evolution of a shared cognitive schema at the microlevel of knowledge structure and belief structure. It offers a new theoretical perspective on the development rules of scientific research teams and provides practical enlightenment regarding the establishment and operation of interdisciplinary research teams.
Spillover effects and transmission of shocks in Visegrad equity markets
Authors: Aliu Florin , Asero Vincenzo , Asllani Alban , Kučera Jiří 
Published: December 2023

Purpose
Paper aims to investigate the interdependencies and spillover effects that the Visegrad (V4 hereafter) Equity Markets hold on each other. The V4 group stands for the political alliance of four Central European countries: Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovakia.

Design/methodology/approach
The study uses Wavelet coherence, dynamic conditional correlation GARCH (1, 1) and unrestricted vector autoregression (VAR) methodologies. Daily data series (covering the period from January 2, 2006, to February 2, 2023) are analyzed to assess coherence, time-varying conditional correlation and shock transmission among the V4 Equity Markets.

Findings
Wavelet analysis reveals that the Slovak equity market does not maintain coherence with three other equity markets. The time-varying conditional correlation documents for the high interdependence during the COVID-19 outbreak of the four indexes. The VAR estimates reveal that shocks in the Warsaw equity market are easily transmitted in Prague and Budapest exchanges but not in Bratislava. The results show that the Slovak equity market tends to be isolated from the influence of other three V4 exchanges. This isolation is attributed to its size, limited volume and adoption of the euro in 2009. The study emphasizes the Slovak financial system’s gravitation toward the Eurozone after euro adoption.

Originality/value
Notably, the findings provide important signals for local and international investors as the results cover four significant international shocks. The global meltdown of 2008/09, the Greek debt crisis of 2010/11, the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war.
A cross‐sectional questionnaire survey involving physicians for the clarification of the diagnosis and current status of therapeutic intervention of psoriatic arthritis in Japan
Authors: Asahina Akihiko , Minami Yukie , Kameda Hideto 
Published: December 2023

AbstractPatients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) often experience comorbid, irreversible joint destruction, therefore early diagnosis and treatment of PsA are important. The diagnosis requires a comprehensive assessment, which includes an interview, a physical examination, a visual examination of the skin and nails, a blood test, and an imaging test. To clarify how patients with PsA are actually diagnosed and how physicians collaborate among clinical departments, we conducted a web‐based questionnaire survey of 500 physicians (dermatologists, rheumatologists, and orthopedists) frequently involved in PsA treatment in Japan. The survey showed that those patients are rarely confirmed to have axial arthritis, peripheral arthritis, enthesitis, or dactylitis by general dermatology practitioners (GP dermatologists). Overall, <60% of patients suspected of having PsA underwent PsA examination by GP dermatologists more than once every 6 months; this percentage is lower than that of patients who underwent PsA examination by rheumatologists and orthopedists. The Psoriatic Arthritis Screening and Evaluation (PASE) questionnaire is the most commonly used for PsA screening. However, users of PASE were only 11.0%, 25.3%, 14.8%, and 24.1% of GP dermatologists, attending dermatologists in hospitals (HP dermatologists), rheumatologists, and orthopedists, respectively. While >80% of HP dermatologists, rheumatologists, and orthopedists used imaging tests (ultrasound, X‐ray, and magnetic resonance imaging) for PsA screening, only 40% of GP dermatologists performed imaging tests. Regarding the demands on the healthcare environment of PsA treatment, early diagnosis and treatment for PsA are crucial in every clinical department. The present study showed that GP dermatologists rarely perform imaging tests or confirm a PsA diagnosis, thus patients may miss out on appropriate treatment through collaboration among clinical departments and step‐up therapy. Because patients with PsA present diverse comorbid clinical symptoms, early diagnosis, including routine imaging tests, and appropriate treatment in collaboration with other experts are necessary.
Optimal strategy in managing advanced melanoma
Authors: Uchi Hiroshi 
Published: December 2023

AbstractThe advent of immune checkpoint inhibitors and combination therapy with BRAF inhibitors and MEK inhibitors has dramatically improved the prognosis of advanced melanoma. However, since acral melanoma and mucosal melanoma, which are rare in Western countries but are major subtypes of melanoma in East Asia, including Japan, have a low frequency of BRAF mutations, there are currently no treatment options other than immune checkpoint inhibitors in most such cases. Furthermore, owing to a lower tumor mutation burden, immune checkpoint inhibitors are less effective in acral and mucosal melanoma than in cutaneous melanoma. The aim of this review was to summarize the current status and future prospects for the treatment of advanced melanoma, comparing cutaneous melanoma, acral melanoma, and mucosal melanoma.
Livestock activity shifts large herbivore temporal distributions to their crepuscular edges

Published: December 2023

Abstract

Wildlife species are transitioning to greater crepuscular and nocturnal activity in response to high human densities. This plasticity in temporal niches may partially mitigate the impacts of human activity but may also result in underestimating human effects on species foraging, predator–prey relationships and community‐level interactions.

We deployed remote cameras to characterize shifts in herbivore diel activity in protected habitat versus pastoralist landscapes. We then compared species traits including body mass, dietary preferences and behavioural characteristics as potential predictors of species sensitivity to livestock.

Our data capture a significant temporal shift away from core cattle activity for nearly every herbivore species in our study, leading to more crepuscular activity patterns. As livestock were primarily diurnal and predators primarily nocturnal in pastoralist habitat, species that decreased their overlap with livestock were more likely to increase their overlap with potential predators.

Other than species' typical daytime activity levels, we found no evidence that any particular trait significantly predicted temporal shifts in response to livestock. Instead, species generally trended towards greater activity levels at dawn, suggesting that cattle have a homogenizing effect on community‐wide activity patterns.

Our findings highlight how cohabitation with livestock can profoundly alter the temporal niches of wild herbivores. Shifts in diel activity patterns may reduce herbivore foraging time or efficiency and potentially have cascading shifts on predator–prey dynamics. Given that species traits could not predict responses to livestock, our analysis suggests that conservation strategies should consider each species separately when designing interventions for wildlife management.

Published: December 2023

AbstractBackgroundDiabetic cardiomyopathy is a serious complication of obesity with type 2 diabetes and is a major cause of mortality. Metabolic surgery, such as duodenal‐jejunal bypass (DJB), can effectively improve diabetic cardiomyopathy; however, the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Oxidative stress is one of the pivotal mechanisms of diabetic cardiomyopathy. Our objective was to investigate the effect and potential mechanisms of DJB on oxidative stress in the heart of diabetic cardiomyopathy rats.MethodsHigh‐fat diet combined with intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin was used to establish diabetic cardiomyopathy rats. DJB was performed on diabetic cardiomyopathy rats, and high glucose and palmitate were used to simulate diabetic cardiomyopathy in H9C2 cells in vitro. Sera from different groups of rats were used for experiments in vivo and in vitro.ResultsDJB effectively improved oxidative stress and activated the adenosine monophosphate (AMP)‐activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathway to increase endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) phosphorylation level and the expression of antioxidative system‐related proteins and genes in the heart of diabetic cardiomyopathy rats. AMPK agonists and serum from DJB rats activated the AMPK pathway to increase eNOS phosphorylation level and the expression of antioxidative system‐related proteins and genes and decreased the content of reactive oxygen species in H9C2 cells, but this improvement was almost eliminated by the addition of AMPK inhibitors.ConclusionsDJB activates eNOS and enhances the antioxidant system by activating the AMPK pathway—and not solely by improving blood glucose—to improve oxidative stress in the heart of diabetic cardiomyopathy rats.image

Published: December 2023

AbstractBackgroundThe COVID‐19 pandemic has been linked to stress, anxiety, and depression among college students, with heightened distress tied to greater drinking for some individuals. Emerging research suggests that these associations may differ across race, but few studies use adequate samples to examine this, particularly among college students, an at‐risk population for both heavy drinking and mental distress. Specifically, pandemic‐related stressors and mental distress may be higher among Black students than White students. The current study examined: (1) whether mental distress cross‐sectionally mediates the association between pandemic‐specific stressors and drinking and (2) whether race (Black or White) moderates these associations.MethodsA cross‐sectional online survey of 400 college drinkers (43% White, 28% Black) in fall 2020 assessed pandemic‐related stressors (e.g., losing a job, contracting COVID‐19, changed living situation), mental distress (stress, anxiety, depression), and drinking (past‐month drinking, perceived changes since the start of the pandemic).ResultsCross‐sectional mediation models indicated that financial stressors and social distancing were linked to greater quantity and frequency of past‐month drinking through greater mental distress. For perceived changes in drinking, only financial stressors were linked to drinking greater quantities and drinking more often (compared to pre‐pandemic levels) via mental distress. Moderated mediation models among students identifying as White or Black revealed that changed living situation was a robust stressor across race. Financial stressors and social distancing were linked with greater distress only among White students, whereas essential worker status was a protective factor against distress only among Black students.ConclusionsSelect stressors were linked to increased drinking through greater mental distress, with differential risks across Black versus White students. Findings suggest campus administrators should focus on connecting students with resources (e.g., counseling centers and health promotion offices) during times of distress.
Pleural line slope in point of care ultrasound assessment of paediatric wheeze may reflect respiratory effort
Authors: Scheier Eric , Shoseyov David 
Published: December 2023

AbstractAimAsthma scoring systems rely on physical examination findings. Point of care ultrasound may provide an objective means to document improvement in the work of breathing in paediatric lower airway obstruction.MethodsThirty children with wheeze on physical examination (cases) and 15 children presenting with abdominal pain (controls) were studied. Using point‐of‐care ultrasound, m‐mode tracing of lung was recorded above the right hemidiaphragm at the midclavicular line. Pleural line slope and excursion were measured before and after treatment.ResultsTwenty patients had a final slope measurement under 20°, and only three were admitted—one for hypoxia that resolved prior to ascending to the ward and another for poor compliance. Average decrease in pleural line slope after treatment was 43% and average decrease in pleural line excursion was 32%. Of the 10 children admitted, 8 had measurements over 25°. The correlation coefficient between pleural slope and pleural excursion was 0.67. All controls had a horizontal m‐mode tracing at the pleural line.ConclusionOscillation of the m‐mode line at the pleura is seen in children with lower airway obstruction and is absent in controls. There appears to be a correlation between beta‐agonist therapy and decreased pleural line slope and excursion.
