Published: November 2023

PurposeThis article aims to explore how the mapping strategies between user requirements expressed by the humanities researchers lead to a better customization of user-driven digital humanities tools and to the creation of innovative functionalities, which can directly affect the way of doing research in a digital context.Design/methodology/approachIt describes the user-driven development of a tool that helps researchers in the quantitative and qualitative analysis of large textbook collections.FindingsThis article presents an exemplary user journey map, which shows the different steps of the digital transformation process and how the humanities researchers are involved for (1) producing innovative research solutions, comprehensive and personalized reports, and (2) customizing access to content data used for the analysis of digital documents. The article is based on a case study on a German textbooks collection and content analysis functionalities.Originality/valueThe focus of this article is the reiterative research process, in which humanists (from the human centred point of view) starts from an initial research question, using quantitative and qualitative data and develops both the research question and the answers to it by with the aim to find patterns in the content and structure of educational media. Thus, from the viewpoint of digital transformation the humanist is part of the interaction between digitization and digitalization processes, where he/she uses digital data, metadata, reports and findings created and supported by the digital tools for research analysis.
US unemployment rate: Federal Reserve versus private information
Authors: Baghestani Hamid , AbuAl-Foul Bassam M. 
Published: November 2023

PurposeThis study evaluates the Federal Reserve (Fed) initial and final forecasts of the unemployment rate for 1983Q1-2018Q4. The Fed initial forecasts in a typical quarter are made in the first month (or immediately after), and the final forecasts are made in the third month of the quarter. The analysis also includes the private forecasts, which are made close to the end of the second month of the quarter.Design/methodology/approachIn evaluating the multi-period forecasts, the study tests for systematic bias, directional accuracy, symmetric loss, equal forecast accuracy, encompassing and orthogonality. For every test equation, it employs the Newey–West procedure in order to obtain the standard errors corrected for both heteroscedasticity and inherent serial correlation.FindingsBoth Fed and private forecasts beat the naïve benchmark and predict directional change under symmetric loss. Fed final forecasts are more accurate than initial forecasts, meaning that predictive accuracy improves as more information becomes available. The private and Fed final forecasts contain distinct predictive information, but the latter produces significantly lower mean squared errors. The results are mixed when the study compares the private with the Fed initial forecasts. Additional results indicate that Fed (private) forecast errors are (are not) orthogonal to changes in consumer expectations about future unemployment. As such, consumer expectations can potentially help improve the accuracy of private forecasts.Originality/valueUnlike many other studies, this study focuses on the unemployment rate, since it is an important indicator of the social cost of business cycles, and thus its forecasts are of special interest to policymakers, politicians and social scientists. Accurate unemployment rate forecasts, in particular, are essential for policymakers to design an optimal macroeconomic policy.
Transformational leadership and employees' work engagement: the simple and parallel mediation of self-efficacy and trust in the leader
Authors: Ul Hassan Faqir Sajjad , Ikramullah Malik 
Published: November 2023

PurposeThe importance of transformational leadership (TFL) for improving followers’ work engagement (WE) has been highlighted by management researchers, but little is known about how and why TFL is related to WE. This study develops an integrated model that addresses the questions and uncovers the influence of TFL on employees’ WE through two pathways reflecting simple and parallel mediating effects of employees’ self-efficacy (SE) and trust in the leader.Design/methodology/approachIn a developing country’s organizational context, a total of 376 employees working in four different types of organizations voluntarily participated in the survey. Partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to test the study model.FindingsData supported the joint parallel mediation effect of subordinates’ SE and trust in the leader and partially confirm the role of a single mediator of each between the relationship of TFL and WE.Practical implicationsIn public sector, it is a daunting challenge to sustain a high degree of WE of employees so that they may actively involve in the provision of better services planned by policymakers. Therefore, WE has deemed a very important construct for both administrators and researchers in such organizations. The framework and relationships that are discussed and displayed in this study help administrators in understanding the driving forces that cause in to WE.Originality/valueThis research links multiple theories to develop an integrated model. The employees' perceptual data supported predictive power of the model both in-sample and out-of-sample through a rigorous statistical technique. Hence, this study is contributing to narrowing the gap between theory and practice.
Effect of cavity radiation on aluminium hollow tubes and facade system subjected to fire
Authors: Yadav Dravesh , Ayyagari Ravi Sastri , Srivastava Gaurav 
Published: November 2023

PurposeThis paper numerically investigates the effect of cavity radiation on the thermal response of hollow aluminium tubes and facade systems subjected to fire.Design/methodology/approachFinite element simulations were performed using ABAQUS 6.14. The accuracy of the numerical model was established through experimental and numerical results available in the literature. The proposed numerical model was utilised to study the effect of cavity radiation on the thermal response of aluminium hollow tubes and facade system. Different scenarios were considered to assess the applicability of the commonly used lumped capacitance heat transfer model.FindingsThe effects of cavity radiation were found to be significant for non-uniform fire exposure conditions. The maximum temperature of a hollow aluminium tube with 1-sided fire exposure was found to be 86% greater when cavity radiation was considered. Further, the time to attain critical temperature under non-uniform fire exposure, as calculated from the conventional lumped heat capacity heat transfer model, was non-conservative when compared to that predicted by the proposed simulation approach considering cavity radiation. A metal temperature of 550 °C was attained about 18 min earlier than what was calculated by the lumped heat capacitance model.Research limitations/implicationsThe present study will serve as a basis for the study of the effects of cavity radiation on the thermo-mechanical response of aluminium hollow tubes and facade systems. Such thermo-mechanical analyses will enable the study of the effects of cavity radiation on the failure mechanisms of facade systems.Practical implicationsCavity radiation was found to significantly affect the thermal response of hollow aluminium tubes and façade systems. In design processes, it is essential to consider the potential consequences of non-uniform heating situations, as they can have a significant impact on the temperature of structures. It was also shown that the use of lumped heat capacity heat transfer model in cases of non-uniform fire exposure is unsuitable for the thermal analysis of such systems.Originality/valueThis is the first detailed investigation of the effects of cavity radiation on the thermal response of aluminium tubes and façade systems for different fire exposure conditions.

Published: November 2023

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to review and synthesize the literature on in-app advertising, identify gaps and propose future research directions.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors use a systematic literature review (SLR) approach, following the PRISMA guidelines, to investigate the current state of research in in-app advertising. The study uses 44 shortlisted articles from the Scopus and Web of Science databases. Using the Theory-Context-Characteristics-Methodology (TCCM) framework, the authors analyze the gaps in theory, context, characteristics and methods.

Findings
Using thematic analysis, the authors identify five main themes in the in-app advertising literature, namely, ad platform optimization; mobile app user psychology and behavior; ad effectiveness; ad fraud; and security, privacy and other user concerns. The findings show the need for empirical research, with a strong theoretical foundation in emerging ad formats of in-app advertising, user behavior and buy-side of in-app advertising.

Originality/value
This is a maiden study to conduct a domain-based SLR in the emerging field of in-app advertising using the TCCM framework. The authors highlight the key differences between in-app advertising and mobile web advertising. The authors propose theories in the advertising field that could be used in future empirical studies of in-app advertising.

Published: November 2023

AbstractHomicide is a prevalent cause of death among sex workers, given their increased risk of violence due to proximity to criminal activities such as drug trade and human trafficking. This study analyzes homicide data from the National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS) covering 49 US states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico from 2012 to 2020. Case inclusion criteria included: (1) manner of death of homicide, and (2) sex work‐related circumstance. Descriptive analyses examined victim and injury characteristics, suspect information, and circumstances. The study identified 321 sex work‐related homicides (54% female, 41% male, 6% transgender). Among female victims, 94% were sex workers, and 54% of their suspects were clients. Money conflicts (23%) and other crimes (30%), most often in progress, commonly precipitated homicides of female victims. Substance use problems were reported in 49% of female victims, with 25% of their suspected perpetrators reportedly using substances in the preceding hours. For male victims, 54% were clients and 9% were sex workers. Suspects in male homicides were primarily sex workers (34%) or individuals engaged in sex work‐adjacent criminal activities (36%). Money conflicts (49%), other crimes (47%) most often in progress, and sex trafficking involvement (25%) commonly precipitated homicides with male victims. Transgender sex worker victims were mostly transfeminine (94%) and non‐Hispanic black (89%). Money conflicts (78%) most commonly precipitated homicides among transgender sex worker victims. These findings can inform prevention strategies addressing underlying risk factors for persons involved in sex work.

AbstractArtificial light at night has been considered an emerging threat to global biodiversity. However, the impacts of artificial light on foraging behavior in most wild animals remain largely unclear. Here, we aimed to assess whether artificial light affects foraging behavior in Asian parti‐colored bats (Vespertilio sinensis). We manipulated the spectra of light‐emitting diode (LED) lighting in a laboratory. Using video and audio recording, we monitored foraging onset, total foraging time, food consumption, freezing behavior (temporary cessation of body movement), and echolocation vocalizations in triads of bats under each lighting condition. Analyses showed that the foraging activities of experimental bats were reduced under LED light. Green, yellow, and red light had greater negative effects on bats’ foraging onset, total foraging time, and food consumption than white and blue light. LED light of different spectra induced increased freezing time and echolocation vocalizations in captive bats, except for the white light. The peak wavelength of light emission correlated positively with freezing time, estimated echolocation pulse rate (the number of echolocation pulses per minute), and foraging onset, but negatively with total foraging time and food consumption. These results demonstrate that artificial light disturbs foraging behavior in Asian parti‐colored bats. Our findings have implications for understanding the influencing mechanism of light pollution on bat foraging.

AbstractBackgroundUsing the published survival statistics from cancer registration or population‐based studies, we aimed to describe the global pattern and trend of lung cancer survival.MethodsBy searching SinoMed, PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, and SEER, all survival analyses from cancer registration or population‐based studies of lung cancer were collected by the end of November 2022. The survival rates were extracted by sex, period, and country. The observed, relative, and net survival rates of lung cancer were applied to describe the pattern and time changes from the late 1990s to the early 21st century.ResultsAge‐standardized 5‐year relative/net survival rate of lung cancer was typically low, with 10%–20% for most regions. The highest age‐standardized relative/net survival rate was observed in Japan (32.9%, 2010–2014), and the lowest was in India (3.7%, 2010–2014). In most countries, the five‐year age‐standardized relative/net survival rates of lung cancer were higher in females and younger people. The patients with adenocarcinoma had a better prognosis than other groups. In China, the highest 5‐year overall relative/net survival rates were 27.90% and 31.62% in men and women in Jiangyin (2012–2013).ConclusionOver the past decades, the prognosis of lung cancer has gradually improved, but significant variations were also observed globally. Worldwide, a better prognosis of lung cancer can be observed in females and younger patients. It is essential to compare and evaluate the histological or stage‐specific survival rates of lung cancer between different regions in the future.

AbstractProblemIn pregnancy, lower socioeconomic status (SES) is associated with adverse outcomes, which is partly attributed to chronic inflammation. Our study compared the maternal serum cytokine profiles in patients with low and high SES.Method of StudyThis retrospective cohort study compared maternal serum cytokine profiles between Medicaid‐insured patients who delivered at an urban safety‐net hospital (low SES) and privately‐insured patients who delivered at a community‐based academic hospital (high SES) in Atlanta, GA (n = 32–33/group). Serum samples were obtained during prenatal venipuncture from 13 to 38 weeks' gestation and the cohorts were matched by gestational age. Interferon (IFN)‐γ, Interleukin (IL)‐10, IL‐1β, IL‐4, IL‐6, IL‐8, and Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF)‐α were assayed from maternal serum samples using a standard ELISA assay.ResultsMedian concentrations of IL‐6, a promotor of chronic inflammation, were higher in the low SES group (0.85 vs. 0.49 pg/mL, p < .001), while median levels of IL‐1β, a potent monocyte activator, and TNF‐α, a master regulator of acute inflammation, were lower in the low SES group (0.09 vs. 0.46 pg/mL, p < .001, and 1.23 vs. 1.58 pg/mL, p = .002, respectively) as compared to the high SES group. After adjusting for maternal age, obesity, hypertensive disorders, and gestational age at delivery, the differences in IL‐6 and IL‐1β by SES persisted (p = .0002 and p < .0001, respectively).ConclusionsIn this retrospective cohort study, there were significant differences in levels of pro‐inflammatory cytokines during pregnancy for groups defined by SES, even after adjustment for confounding variables. Our data are foundational for further research to investigate SES‐associated inflammation that may contribute to adverse pregnancy outcomes.

SummaryCurrent guidance recommends that, in most circumstances, cardiopulmonary resuscitation should be attempted when cardiac arrest occurs during anaesthesia, and when a patient has a pre‐existing ‘do not attempt cardiopulmonary resuscitation’ recommendation, this should be suspended. How this guidance is translated into everyday clinical practice in the UK is currently unknown. Here, as part of the 7th National Audit Project of the Royal College of Anaesthetists, we have: assessed the rates of pre‐operative ‘do not attempt cardiopulmonary resuscitation’ recommendations via an activity survey of all cases undertaken by anaesthetists over four days in each participating site; and analysed our one‐year case registry of peri‐operative cardiac arrests to understand the rates of cardiac arrest in patients who had ‘do not attempt cardiopulmonary resuscitation’ decisions pre‐operatively. In the activity survey, among 20,717 adults (aged > 18 y) undergoing surgery, 595 (3%) had a ‘do not attempt cardiopulmonary resuscitation’ recommendation pre‐operatively, of which less than a third (175, 29%) were suspended. Of the 881 peri‐operative cardiac arrest reports, 54 (6%) patients had a ‘do not attempt cardiopulmonary resuscitation’ recommendation made pre‐operatively and of these 38 (70%) had a clinical frailty scale score ≥ 5. Just under half (25, 46%) of these ‘do not attempt cardiopulmonary resuscitation’ recommendations were formally suspended at the time of anaesthesia and surgery. One in five of these patients with a ‘do not attempt cardiopulmonary resuscitation’ recommendation who had a cardiac arrest survived to leave hospital and of the seven patients with documented modified Rankin Scale scores before and after cardiac arrest, four remained the same and three had worse scores. Very few patients who had a pre‐existing ‘do not attempt cardiopulmonary resuscitation’ recommendation had a peri‐operative cardiac arrest, and when cardiac arrest did occur, return of spontaneous circulation was achieved in 57%, although > 50% of these patients subsequently died before discharge from hospital.

Published: November 2023

AbstractA 15‐year‐old girl with recurrent upper abdominal pain was diagnosed with congenital biliary dilatation. Abdominal enhanced computed tomography (CT) showed the anterior segmental branch of the right hepatic artery (RHA) running across the ventral aspect of the dilated common hepatic duct (CHD). Laparoscopic extrahepatic dilated biliary duct excision and Roux‐en‐Y hepaticojejunostomy were planned. Intraoperatively, the dilated CHD was observed to bifurcate into the ventral and dorsal ducts, between which the anterior segmental branch of the RHA crossed through the CHD. The CHD rejoined on the distal side as one duct. We transected the CHD just above the cystic duct. The patency of the ventral and dorsal sides of the bifurcated CHD was confirmed. Laparoscopic hepaticojejunostomy was performed at the distal side of the rejoined CHD, without sacrificing the anterior segmental branch of the RHA. There was no postoperative blood flow impairment in the right hepatic lobe or anastomotic stenosis.

AbstractObjectivesTo assess in a prospective randomized trial two phycogenic bone substitutes—biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) versus almost pure hydroxyapatite (HA)—for their volume stability and clinical implications after sinus floor elevation (SFE).Materials and MethodsTwenty patients requiring lateral‐window SFE 6 months prior to implant surgery were randomized to a BCP or HA group. As primary outcome, the grafts were analyzed for volume stability, using four cone‐beam computed tomography scans obtained immediately/6/12/24 months after SFE. Secondary outcomes were implant survivval, success, periotest values, oral‐health‐related quality of life (OHIP‐G14), and pain (VAS).ResultsKolmogorov–Smirnov goodness‐of‐fit test revealed normal distribution of samples (p = .200). At 6/12/24 months, the augmented volumes decreased to 96/92/90% (HA) or 99/96/96% (BCP). Volume changes were significantly a factor of time (p < .001; generalized linear model with repeated measures) and reached significantly lower values in HA group (p = .018). Significant intergroup difference in volume losses was notable at 24 months (p = .021; t‐test for independent samples). Periotest values decreased from −3/−4.1 (HA/BCP) after implant placement to −6.3/−4.5 (HA/BCP) after 6 months. OHIP scores diverged at 2 months (HA: 9.5; BCP: 5.2) and largely resolved by 24 months (HA: 1.3; BCP: 1.9). VAS scores were comparable, 2.2 at 1 week after SFE being their highest mean level.ConclusionsAfter 2 years, both groups experienced no biological or technical complications, demonstrating a consistent healing trajectory without notable symptoms. Although no significant differences were observed in implant stability and survival, BCP demonstrated higher volume stability than HA.
