Administration of Antenatal Corticosteroids: Optimal Timing
Authors: Berger Richard , Stelzl Patrick , Maul Holger 
Published: January 2024

AbstractThe effectiveness of antenatal corticosteroids (ACS) in significantly reducing respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) depends crucially on the timing. It is successful if delivery takes place
between 24 hours and seven days following administration; after this period, the side effects seem to predominate. In addition, an increased rate of mental impairment and behavioral
disorders are observed in children born full-term after ACS administration. The optimal timing of ACS administration depends crucially on the given indication; to date, it has been achieved
in only 25–40% of cases. ACS administration is always indicated in PPROM, in severe early pre-eclampsia, in fetal IUGR with zero or reverse flow in the umbilical artery, in placenta previa
with bleeding, and in patients experiencing premature labor with a cervical length < 15 mm. The risk of women with asymptomatic cervical insufficiency giving birth within seven days is
very low. In this case, ACS should not be administered even if the patient’s cervical length is less than 15 mm, provided that the cervix is closed and there are no other risk factors for a
premature birth. The development of further diagnostic methods with improved power to predict premature birth is urgently needed in order to optimize the timing of ACS administration in this
patient population. Caution when administering ACS is also indicated in women experiencing premature labor who have a cervical length ≥ 15 mm. Further studies using amniocentesis are needed
in order to identify the patient population with microbial invasion of the amniotic cavity/intra-amniotic infection (MIAC/IAI), and to define threshold values at which delivery is indicated.
ACS administration is not performed as an emergency measure, usually not even before transfer to a perinatal center. Therefore, whenever possible, the indication for ACS administration
should be determined by a clinician who is highly experienced in perinatology.

Published: January 2024

Abstract
Background When administering an infusion to a patient, it is necessary to verify that the infusion pump settings are in accordance with the injection orders provided by the physician. However, the infusion rate entered into the infusion pump by the health care provider cannot be automatically reconciled with the injection order information entered into the electronic medical records (EMRs). This is because of the difficulty in linking the infusion rate entered into the infusion pump by the health care provider with the injection order information entered into the EMRs.
Objectives This study investigated a data linkage method for reconciling infusion pump settings with injection orders in the EMRs.
Methods We devised and implemented a mechanism to convert injection order information into the Health Level 7 Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR), a new health information exchange standard, and match it with an infusion pump management system in a standard and simple manner using a REpresentational State Transfer (REST) application programming interface (API). The injection order information was extracted from Standardized Structured Medical Record Information Exchange version 2 International Organization for Standardization/technical specification 24289:2021 and was converted to the FHIR format using a commercially supplied FHIR conversion module and our own mapping definition. Data were also sent to the infusion pump management system using the REST Web API.
Results Information necessary for injection implementation in hospital wards can be transferred to FHIR and linked. The infusion pump management system application screen allowed the confirmation that the two pieces of information matched, and it displayed an error message if they did not.
Conclusion Using FHIR, the data linkage between EMRs and infusion pump management systems can be smoothly implemented. We plan to develop a new mechanism that contributes to medical safety through the actual implementation and verification of this matching system.
Employee work engagement in the digital transformation of enterprises: a fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis
Authors: Ye Di , Xu Bin , Wei Bingling , Zheng Linlin , Wu Yenchun Jim 
Published: January 2024

AbstractInformation technology has brought about significant changes in enterprises, and new work situations have led to new problems. Employee resistance to new technologies, their ability to learn, and their ability to utilize personal resources to improve work engagement in the face of technological pressure are important factors that companies need to consider when undergoing digital transformation. The influence mechanism of configuration effects on factors around employee work engagement has not been explored, and technostress creators have rarely been included in the configuration as influencing factors in previous studies. On the basis of the job demands-resources (JD-R) model and trait activation theory, this study explored the factors that affect employees’ work engagement at the level of job demands and personal resources. The fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) method was used to investigate the influence of technical stressors, self-efficacy, and the Big Five personality traits on employees’ work engagement. Through a survey of 225 employees in the context of enterprise digital transformation, the results show three driving paths that promote employees’ work engagement: openness to experience conscientiousness, self-efficacy driven, and inhibition to technical stressors. The study also analyzed employees’ low work engagement state, which is driven by an inhibition of agreeableness and extraversion. This research enriches the study of factors influencing work engagement in the digital transformation of enterprises.
Examination of HRM practices in relation to the retention of Chinese Gen Z employees
Authors: Ali Hazem , Li Min , Qiu Xunmin 
Published: January 2024

AbstractEmployee retention has attracted the attention of both scholars and practitioners, especially with the gradual entry of Gen Z employees into the workplace. HRM literature indicates that the employee retention research stream in the context of Gen Z employees requires further development. Based on an exploratory study, this research has identified four HRM practices influencing the retention of Gen Z employees: supportive working environment, pay, training and development, and role clarity. An empirical investigation using 529 questionnaires was used to examine the impact of these HRM practices on retaining Gen Z employees with an emphasis on the moderating role of employee gender. The findings of PLS-SEM showed that the four HRM practices have a significant effect on employee retention. The multi-group PLS analysis revealed that a supportive working environment and training and development practices are more important for female employees, whereas pay and role clarity had a salient impact on retaining male employees. Based on the empirical findings, HR managers may devise suitable intervention mechanisms to encourage the retention of Gen Z employees through maintaining a supportive work environment, providing fair and competitive pay, providing effective training and development, and clarifying job duties and responsibilities.
The role of personal connections Wasta on early-stage entrepreneurial orientations: empirical evidence from Saudi Arabia
Authors: Albihany Naeem A. , Aljarodi Abdullah M. 
Published: January 2024

AbstractWasta (Nepotism) is a controversial concept and practice used in the Arab world, which is an informal networking style. A good number of studies have been published in this field, but concerning Wasta in relation to entrepreneurial orientation, “EO” is very limited. Based on institutional theory, this quantitative research aims to analyze the relationship between Wasta from the provider and receiver sides as an informal institution and the EO of entrepreneurs in three main regions of Saudi Arabia. Using the STATA program, Exploratory Factor Analysis and Multilevel regression models were applied to test the study propositions with a sample of Saudi early-stage entrepreneurs. Results reveal two significant findings: (1) the respondents in the Western region of Saudi tend to have a significant relationship with Receiving Wasta Activities as an independent factor and EO dimensions in terms of Innovativeness and Proactiveness, Autonomy and Risk-taking, while respondents in the Central region, only found to be significant with Autonomy and Risk-taking; and (2) the evidence shows that Competitive Aggressiveness, was only found to be significant in Providing Wasta Activities. This study contributes to the current knowledge by empirically finding the significant relationship between Wasta activities from the provider and receiver sides and the four dimensions of OEs amongst early-stage entrepreneurs in Saudi Arabia. The findings also are significant for policymakers and organizations to advocate their communication and networking channels. Limitations and future research lines are discussed.
How does industrial policy experimentation influence innovation performance? A case of Made in China 2025

Published: January 2024

AbstractMade in China 2025 (MIC 2025), an industrial policy, aims to position China among the global leading manufacturing powers. Different from other industrial policies in China, MIC 2025 is implemented by policy experimentation of pilot cities, which gives priority to the local governments. However, whether MIC 2025 pilot cities promote firm innovation is unclear in current literature. Using MIC 2025 pilot cities as a quasi-natural experiment, this study analyzes the effect and the mechanism of MIC 2025 on firm innovation. The sample consists of 4422 firm-year observations of Chinese listed manufacturing firms in 2012–2022. The result indicates that focal firm located in MIC 2025 pilot cities facilitates its innovation. Mechanism analysis show that MIC 2025 promotes firm innovation through tax incentives, public subsidies, convenient financing, academic collaboration and talent incentives. This study extends industrial policy literature with regard to how place-based policy experimentation promote the implementation of China’s industrial policies. Local governments’ participations and their interaction with the central government are vital for a successful policy experimentation.
Contract management of municipal public services: the Slovak experience
Authors: Mikušová Meričková Beáta , Nemec Juraj , Jakuš Muthová Nikoleta 
Published: January 2024

AbstractContracting out services in the public sector should convey efficiency gains compared to the in-house delivery of these services because of the competition element. However, results from practice do not confirm this assumption. Generalising the reasons for this situation is still problematic, but there is no doubt that the quality of managing the processes of contracting out of public services should be the factor. The aim of this paper is to contribute to the discussion on contract management in the public sector by analysing the quality of contract management in Slovak municipalities in the context of contracting out risks as defined by the principal-agent theory. The study uses own methodological approach for quantifying the determinants of the quality of contract management in relation to the contracting out risks using Saaty’s expert method. In total, 7 variables were constructed, and 3416 contracts are evaluated. Similarly to most existing studies, the results indicate severe problems in the quality of contract management in municipal sector, which increase the risks associated with contracting out. The most prevalent reserves in the quality of contract management of contracted local public and ancillary services in the Slovak municipal conditions are related to the selection of the public procurement procedure; the irregular monitoring of the quality of external production; and the type of payment. The outcomes clearly show that potential increases in efficiency via contracting out are unequivocally limited by the low quality of contract management.
On the Chinese resistance to lexical borrowing: a writing-driven self-purification system
Authors: Zhang Liulin 
Published: January 2024

AbstractThe Chinese language is known for its resistance to lexical borrowing. Transliterations can hardly be retained in this language that use pre-existing characters to simply transcribe the pronunciation of the source word in the donor language. This exclusion can be attributed to the ideographic nature of Chinese characters. Given the stable graphic-meaning correspondence, novel use of characters is expected to be consistent with their usage in previous literature, while the association between the graphic form and the phonetic form has always been loose, rendering it meaningless to use characters as a mere phonetic representation. Here writing is having an effect on the assimilation of loanwords, and more generally, the purist language ideology, which runs counter to the traditionally assumed derivative position of writing, thus shedding light on the implicit effect of writing on language ideology.
Enhancing customer value co-creation and stickiness in social commerce: integrating PLS-SEM and NCA for deeper insights into customer-to-customer dynamics
Authors: Zhou Ying , Kumar Sameer , Furuoka Fumitaka 
Published: January 2024

AbstractSocial commerce(s-commerce), which emphasizes the predominance of customers, has become an important tool of company social marketing and provides new challenges to businesses in attracting customers. Based on customer-dominant logic theory, this study presents a model of the impact of electronic customer-to-customer interaction(eCCI) on customer stickiness with the mediation effect of customer value co-creation dimensions, specifically functional value and hedonic value in the s-commerce context and self-efficacy as a moderator in light of customer-dominant logic. This study adopted a survey method and obtained data from users in two s-commerce sites in China. The statistical technique of partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) and the analytical process of necessary condition analysis (NCA) were employed to analyze the data. The PLS-SEM results indicate that eCCI influences customer value co-creation, which in turn affects the consumer stickiness of s-commerce sites.The moderated mediation results showed that self-efficacy moderated the relationship between eCCI and customer stickiness.The NCA results identified the eCCI is meaningful and significant necessary conditions for fostering customer value co-creation and customer stickiness. The combined findings demonstrated to researchers and practitioners how to identify the critical factor that influence customer value co-creation and customer stickiness. The study provides novel insights into the mechanism underlying why consumers “stick” to s-commerce websites. Furthermore, the moderated mediation model extended customer-dominant logic and demonstrated the moderating influence of self-efficacy. The theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed.
Online public denunciation as recursive social practice
Authors: Haugh Michael 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Incidents of online public shaming commonly start when a record of conduct that is perceived as transgressive by
either one of the parties to that interaction or a third party observer is posted, in the form of a narrative description,
photograph, audio/video-recording, screenshot, and so on to an online platform, followed by viral amplification of that online
public denunciation post through sharing by others within and across platforms. Building on an analysis of 26 incidents of online
public denunciations of public incivilities it is argued, in this paper, that public denunciations essentially involve inviting
networked audiences to denounce entextualized moments of conduct, which are recontextualized as not only morally transgressive,
but as also warranting public condemnation. It is proposed that the procedure by which online public denunciations are
accomplished is thus recursive, as it not only involves the ascription of action to prior conduct of the target in question that
construes that prior conduct as transgressive, but the embedding of the ascription of that complainable action within a public
denunciation that invites condemnation of that ascribed action. However, since social media platforms allow for the
re-entextualization and subsequent recontextualization of prior posts through which public condemnation has been invited, online
public denunciations are themselves inevitably open to recursive recontextualization. It is concluded that online public
denunciation is thus an inherently recursive form of social practice.

Published: January 2024

Abstract
A device constructed from metamaterials is proposed, which makes asymmetric transmission and reflection achieved in addition to a perfect dual-band unidirectional reflectionlessness at THz frequencies for linearly polarized incident waves. Owing to the unique structure characteristics, it exhibits an excellent performance of converting linear to circular polarization at multiple frequencies. Moreover, the maximum of PCR reaches 99.94%, and the ellipticity approaches 1 at eight frequencies. Additionally, UR and AT are achieved within broad ranges of the incidence angle θ and distance d between two resonators. Utilization of the metamaterial design will facilitate the multifunctionality of THz meta-device and promote the further advancements in integrated processes, communication, radar and other fields.
Photogenerated electron- and hole-trap distributions in Al-doped anatase TiO2 crystals measured by cryogenic EPR imaging

Published: January 2024

Abstract
Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) imaging was performed on aluminium-doped anatase titanium dioxide (TiO2) crystals to demonstrate the distributions of photogenerated trapped electrons and holes at cryogenic temperatures. Complementary distributions of trapped electrons and holes were observed at 25 K; trapped electrons were predominant on the {101} planes, whereas trapped holes were predominant on the (001) and {110} planes in the tetragonal crystal structure. These separate distributions are consistent with the reported facet-dependent photocatalytic efficiency of photoreduction and photooxidation in anatase crystals, resulting from crystal plane-dependent carrier transfer. By this extrinsic trap system, the carrier transport properties were derivatively extracted through electron and hole traps. This report provides insight into the fundamental physics governing the facet dependence of photocatalytic effects.
Analytical and numerical computation of self-oscillating gels driven by the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction
Authors: Chi Zhai 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Self-oscillating gel is a class of deformable polymers driven by Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reactions, which can form periodic deformations without any external stimuli, and are widely used in the research of micro actuators, AI sensors, drug release carriers or biomimetic materials. However, quantitative study on formation of the self-oscillating gel is limited especially from the perspective of energy conservation. This work adopts frequency domain analysis to the chemo-mechanical model, and the basic frequency is obtained to evaluate the maintenance energy of the deformable gel. For accurate computation, boundary value problem with unknown period is formulated; then, continuation algorithm based on technique of perturbation is performed to obtain the periodic trajectories with varying model parameters. The results could be implemented to design self-oscillating gels with prescribed periodicity.
Parametric assessment of electrical discharge drilling on plasma sprayed functionally graded Al/Al2O3 coating on Al6061-T6 faceplates

Published: January 2024

Abstract
Electrical discharge drilling is a non-conventional machining process that is effective and economical for cutting difficult-to-cut conductive materials. In this work, the parametric assessment of functionally graded Al/Al2O3 coating sprayed by plasma on Al6061-T6 faceplates is investigated. Initially, four different graded layers of Al/Al2O3 (50:50, 40:60, 30:70, and 20:80) were processed through plasma spray and deposited coating morphology, splat formation, and cross-sectional structure were confirmed through a scanning electron microscope. The parametric assessment has been investigated based on the effect of electrical discharge drilling parameters peak current (Pc), pulse-on time (Pon), and gap voltage (Vg) on the material removal rate (MRR), tool wear rate (TWR), machining time (MT), surface roughness (SR), taper angle (TA), and overcut (OC). The selected process parameters were Pc from 8 to 14 A, Pon from 60 to 90 μs, and Vg from 20 to 80 V respectively. The parametric assessment was performed based on the objectives of maximizing the MRR and minimizing the TWR, MT, SR, TA, and OC. The effect of process parameters on various output responses was summarized. From the experimentation, MRR is significantly affected by Vg, and maximum MRR is found at the high levels of Pc and Pon. Reduced TWR was observed at the 2nd level of Pc (0.058 mm3 min−1) and 4th level of Vg (0.076 mm3 min−1) and this same factor has more influence on MT. High level of Pc and Pon exhibits maximum TWR with erosion. The results show that Pon time relatively gives low SR (2.36 μm) and minimum OC (0.0015 mm) was achieved at a high level of Vg. Few un-drilled holes with cracks were witnessed due to high TWR. Many drilled holes exhibit < 2° of TA which indicates good dimensional accuracy.

Abstract
The ground-state mass excess of the

drip-line nucleus

Al is measured for the first time as

keV using the newly-developed B
ρ-defined isochronous mass spectrometry method at the cooler storage ring in Lanzhou. The new mass excess value allowed us to determine the excitation energies of the two low-lying

states in

Al with significantly reduced uncertainties of 51 keV. When compared to the analogue states in its mirror nucleus

F, the mirror energy differences of the two

states in the

Al-

F mirror pair are determined to be

keV and

keV. The excitation energies and mirror energy differences are used to test the state-of-the-art ab initio valence-space in-medium similarity renormalization group calculations with four sets of interactions derived from the chiral effective field theory. The mechanism leading to the large mirror energy differences is investigated and attributed to the occupation of the

orbital.
