An efficient thermal model for high-speed angular contact ball bearings based on oil-air two-phase flow and gray-box model
Authors: Zheng De-Xing , Zheng Dateng 
Published: October 2023

Purpose
For a lightweight and accurate description of bearing temperature, this paper aims to present an efficient semi-empirical model with oil–air two-phase flow and gray-box model.

Design/methodology/approach
First, the role of lubricant/coolant in bearing temperature was discussed separately, and the gray-box models on the heat convection inside a bearing cavity were also created. Next, the bearing node setting scheme was optimized. Consequently, a novel semi-empirical two-phase flow thermal grid for high-speed angular contact ball bearings was planned. With this model, the thermal network for the selected motored spindle was built, and the numerical solutions for bearing temperature rise were obtained and contrasted with the experimental values for validation. The polynomial interpolation on test data, meanwhile, was also performed to help us observe the temperature change trend. Finally, the simulations based on the current models of bearings were implemented, whose corresponding results were also compared with our research work.

Findings
The validation result indicates that the thermal prediction is more accurate and efficient when the developed semi-empirical oil–air two-phase flow model is employed to assess the thermal change of bearings. Clearly, we provide a more proper model for the thermal assessment of bearing and even spindle heating.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this paper introduced the oil–air separation and gray-box model for the first time to describe the heat exchange inside bearing cavities and accordingly presents an efficient semi-empirical oil–air two-phase flow model to evaluate the bearing temperature variation by using thermal network method.

From vision to reality: how school leaders nurture deeper learning
Authors: Richardson Jayson W. , Bathon Justin , McLeod Scott 
Published: October 2023

PurposeThis article details findings on how leaders of deeper learning schools establish, maintain, and propel unique teaching and learning environments. In this case study, the authors present findings from data collected through interviews with 30 leaders of self-proclaimed deeper learning initiatives and site visits to those elementary and secondary schools.Design/methodology/approachUsing a case study approach, the authors collected data from interviews and observations of 30 school leaders.FindingsThe study's findings indicate how leaders of schools that engage in deeper learning tend to adhere to three core practices. First, the leaders of deeper learning schools in this study intently listened to the community to ascertain needs and desires; this drove the vision. Second, leaders of deeper learning schools created learning spaces that empowered students and gave them voice, agency, and choice. Third, leaders of deeper learning schools sought to humanize the schooling experience.Practical implicationsThis study provides actionable examples of what leaders currently do to engage kids and teachers in deeper learning. These leaders offer insights into specific actions and practices that they espoused to make the schooling experience markedly different.Originality/valuePrevious studies focused on the deeper learning of schools and students. This is one of the first studies to focus on the inteplay between deeper learning and school leaders.
Covid-19 and stock markets’ response in MENA countries
Authors: Almarayeh Taha 
Published: October 2023

Purpose
Motivated by the rapid spread of the COVID-19 outbreak in the world, this study aims to explore the stock markets’ response toward it in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) countries.

Design/methodology/approach
Ordinary least squares (OLS) regressions were used to analyze the association between the COVID-19 outbreak and stock market returns. The author made use of a panel data set, including 4,195 observations from 13 countries in MENA for the period January 29, 2020, to April 30, 2021. The dependent variable was stock market returns. The explanatory variable, i.e. COVID-19, was proxied by daily growing confirmed infected cases and daily growing confirmed death cases caused by the outbreak.

Findings
The author finds that stock markets have responded negatively to the growth in COVID-19 deaths. Meanwhile, stock markets show no reaction to the daily growth of confirmed infected COVID-19 cases.

Practical implications
This study presents worthy information to regulators and policymakers in MENA countries, whose responsibility is to govern regulations at the macro and micro levels based on a comprehensive route that leaves no one behind. This study also offers significant insights to policymakers, managers, investors and society by showing how the stock markets quickly react to outbreaks.

Originality/value
This study is, to the best of the author’s knowledge, among those exploring the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on stock market returns in the MENA countries.
The nexus between the WTO fisheries subsidies rules and food security in Indonesia
Authors: Soeparna Intan Innayatun 
Published: October 2023

Purpose
The World Trade Organisation (WTO) Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies (AFS) requires all members to avoid subsidy policies and financial measures that weaken sustainability in fishing and instead divert public spending in such a way that it is more beneficial to fisheries sectors. This paper aims to argue that the WTO fisheries subsidies rules can be considered as a mechanism not only for achieving fisheries sustainability but also for supporting food security in Indonesia.

Design/methodology/approach
The methodology of this study consists of descriptive and analytical legal research that identifies the relation between fisheries subsidies and food security policies in Indonesia.

Findings
Fisheries subsidies policies in Indonesia focus on government support for small-scale fishers not only to promote fishing sustainability and marine resource protection but also to improve their ability to participate in food security strategies.

Practical implications
The elimination of harmful fisheries subsidies could be regarded as a mechanism for not only preserving and sustaining marine resources but also achieving food security in other developing countries.

Originality/value
The author’s knowledge of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is valuable in elaborating a new paradigm on how the WTO is achieving SDG 14 (Life below Water) and SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) in parallel by analysing Indonesia’s efforts to implement the AFS while also allocating public spending to fisheries sectors to accommodate food security.
Research on the knowledge transfer mechanism of digital platform in the digital innovation ecosystem: an improved model of SIR embedded in symbiosis theory
Authors: Liu Jingtao , Ning Lianju , Gao Qifang 
Published: October 2023

PurposeIn the digital economy era, digital platforms are vital infrastructure for innovation subjects to perform digital innovation activities. Achieving efficient and smooth knowledge transfer between innovation subjects through digital platforms has become a novel research subject. This study aims to examine the knowledge transfer mechanism of digital platforms in the digital innovation ecosystem through modeling and simulation to offer a theoretical basis for digital innovation subjects to acquire digital value through knowledge-sharing and thus augment their competitive advantage.Design/methodology/approachThis study explores the optimal symbiotic interaction rate between different users based on the classic susceptible-infected-removed (SIR) model. Additionally, it constructs a knowledge transfer mechanism model for digital platforms in the digital innovation ecosystem by combining the theories of communication dynamics and symbiosis. Finally, Matrix Laboratory (MATLAB) software is used for the model and numerical simulation.FindingsThe results demonstrate that (1) the evolutionary path of the symbiotic model is key to digital platforms' knowledge transfer in the digital innovation ecosystem. In the symbiotic model, the knowledge transfer path of digital platforms is “independent symbiosis—biased symbiosis (user benefit)—reciprocal symbiosis,” aligning with the overall interests of the digital innovation ecosystem. (2) Digital platforms' knowledge transfer effects within the digital innovation ecosystem show significant differences. The most effective knowledge transfer model for digital platforms is reciprocal symbiosis, whereas the least effective is parochial symbiosis (platform benefit). (3) The symbiotic rate has a significant positive impact on the evolutionary dynamics of knowledge transfer on digital platforms, especially in the reciprocal symbiosis model.Originality/valueThis study's results aid digital innovators in achieving efficient knowledge transfer through digital platforms and identify how symbiotic relationships affect the knowledge transfer process across the ecosystem. Accordingly, the authors propose targeted recommendations to promote the efficiency of knowledge transfer on digital platforms.

Authors: Pinheiro Alan Bandeira , dos Santos Joina Ijuniclair Arruda Silva , Cherobim Ana Paula Mussi Szabo , Segatto Andréa Paula 
Published: October 2023

PurposeThis study aimed to investigate the role of the country's institutional quality on the environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance of its companies.Design/methodology/approachOver a four-year period (2016–2019), the study examined the ESG performance of 412 organizations situated in 19 countries. ESG performance was the dependent variable, and the independent variables were rule of law, economic freedom, education index and international trade freedom. These factors described the institutional quality of countries in the authors’ study.FindingsThe findings reveal that institutional quality has a major impact on ESG performance. Companies engage in more ESG practices when they operate in countries with greater economic freedom and international trade freedom. The authors corroborated the core assumption of institutional theory (IT), which argues that organizational behavior is determined by the country's institutional setting.Research limitations/implicationsThe findings, like all research, should be interpreted with caution. The authors’ research focused solely on large energy corporations. As a result, the conclusions cannot be applied to small companies or other industries. ESG performance can also be measured using different datasets.Practical implicationsIf managers want their companies to perform better in terms of ESG, the authors recommend that they form a CSR committee and sign the Global Compact. This study may be valuable to international policymakers because they can underline that greater economic freedom, better education and greater international trade freedom all promote higher ESG performance.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors' knowledge, nearly all of research explores the relationship between ESG and financial performance. As a result, this study built on past research by investigating how national aspects affect corporate ESG performance.
The complex information needs of Chinese parents of children with autism spectrum disorder
Authors: Han Zhengbiao , Zhong Huan , Hansen Preben 
Published: October 2023

PurposeThis study aims to explore the information needs of Chinese parents of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and how these needs evolve as their children develop.Design/methodology/approachThis study collated 17,122 questions regarding raising children with ASD via the Yi Lin website until November 2021.FindingsThe information needs of parents of children with ASD were classified into two categories: 1) Cognition-motivation: related to children with ASD; and 2) Affection-motivation: related to their parents. Child development causes the adaptation of information needs of these parents. Within the first three years, nine different topics of these parents' information needs were identified. Major information needs at this stage are as follows: intervention content, intervention methods and pre-diagnosis questions. During the ages of three to six years, there were 13 topics of information needs for parents, focusing on three areas: intervention content, intervention methods and diagnosis and examination. There are eight topics of information needs post six years. Parents are more concerned with the three topics of intervention content, life planning and intervention methods.Originality/valueThis novel study indicates the complex and changing information needs of parents of children with ASD in China. It may enhance the understanding of the information needs of these parents at theoretical and practical levels, provide support for them to understand their own information needs and provide a reference for relevant government and social organisations to provide targeted information services for them.Peer reviewThe peer review history for this article is available at: https://publons.com/publon/10.1108/OIR-04-2022-0247
DNA metabarcoding focused on difficult‐to‐culture protists: An effective approach to clarify biological interactions
Authors: Nakamura Yasuhide , Itagaki Hiryori , Tuji Akihiro , Shimode Shinji , Yamaguchi Atsushi , Hidaka Kiyotaka , Ogiso‐Tanaka Eri 
Published: October 2023

AbstractDNA metabarcoding on a single organism is a promising approach to clarify the biological interactions (e.g., predator–prey relationships and symbiosis, including parasitism) of difficult‐to‐culture protists. To evaluate the effectiveness of this method, Radiolaria and Phaeodaria, which are ecologically important protistan groups, were chosen as target taxa. DNA metabarcoding on a single organism focused on the V9 region of the 18S rRNA gene revealed potential symbionts, parasites and food sources of Radiolaria and Phaeodaria. Previously reported hosts and symbionts (parasites) were detected, and newly recognized combinations were also identified. The contained organisms largely differed between Radiolaria and Phaeodaria. In Radiolaria, members of the same order tended to contain similar organisms, and the taxonomic composition of possible symbionts, parasites, and food sources was fixed at the species level. Members of the same phaeodarian family, however, did not contain similar organisms, and body part (i.e., the central capsule or the phaeodium) was the most important factor that divided the taxonomic composition of detected organisms, implying that the selection of appropriate body part is important when trying to ascertain contained organisms, even for unicellular zooplankton. Our results show that DNA metabarcoding on a single organism is effective in revealing the biological interactions of difficult‐to‐culture protists.
Using the Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test to predict substance‐related hospitalisation after release from prison: A cohort study
Authors: Cumming Craig , Kinner Stuart A. , McKetin Rebecca , Young Jesse T. , Li Ian , Preen David B. 
Published: October 2023

AbstractBackground and AimsPoor substance use‐related health outcomes after release from prison are common. Identifying people at greatest risk of substance use and related harms post‐release would help to target support at those most in need. The Alcohol Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test (ASSIST) is a validated substance use screener, but its utility in predicting substance‐related hospitalisation post‐release is unestablished. We measured whether screening for moderate/high‐risk substance use on the ASSIST was associated with increased risk of substance‐related hospitalisation.DesignA prospective cohort study.SettingPrisons in Queensland and Western Australia.ParticipantsParticipants were incarcerated and within 6 weeks of expected release when recruited. A total of 2585 participants were followed up for a median of 873 days.MeasurementsBaseline survey data were combined with linked unit record administrative hospital data. We used the ASSIST to assess participants for moderate/high‐risk cannabis, methamphetamine and heroin use in the 3 months prior to incarceration. We used International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes to identify substance‐related hospitalisations during follow‐up. We compared rates of substance‐related hospitalisation between those classified as low/no‐risk and moderate/high‐risk on the ASSIST for each substance. We estimated adjusted hazard ratios (aHR) by ASSIST risk group for each substance using Weibull regression survival analysis allowing for multiple failures.FindingsDuring follow‐up, 158 (6%) participants had cannabis‐related, 178 (7%) had opioid‐related and 266 (10%) had methamphetamine‐related hospitalisation. The hazard rates of substance‐related hospitalisation after prison were significantly higher among those who screened moderate/high‐risk compared with those screening low risk on the ASSIST for cannabis (aHR 2.38, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.74, 3.24), methamphetamine (aHR 2.23, 95%CI 1.75, 2.84) and heroin (aHR 5.79, 95%CI 4.41, 7.60).ConclusionsIncarcerated people with an Alcohol Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test (ASSIST) screening of moderate/high‐risk substance use appear to have a significantly higher risk of post‐release substance‐related hospitalisation than those with low risk. Administering the ASSIST during incarceration may inform who has the greatest need for substance use treatment and harm reduction services in prison and after release from prison.
Striving to revive pulses in India with extension, input subsidies, and output price supports†
Authors: Lybbert Travis J. , Shenoy Ashish , Bourdier Tomoé , Kieran Caitlin 
Published: October 2023

AbstractPulse production in India has stagnated relative to staple grains and cash crops, raising concerns about rural protein consumption. We experimentally evaluate an effort to increase local pulse production in Bihar. This intervention consisted of 2 years of input subsidies and extension to facilitate learning, followed by the creation of marketing organizations and a year of output price support to raise profitability. Farmers respond to price signals by expanding inputs when subsidized and increasing pulse sales under price supports. However, we see no evidence that the program shifted equilibrium production portfolios as pulses return to pre‐intervention levels after the support ends. Results indicate that short‐term learning by doing cannot overcome long‐run barriers to local pulse production, even when farmers have a viable outlet to sell their surplus output.

AbstractBackgroundIgE cross‐sensitization to major birch pollen allergen Bet v 1 and pathogenesis‐related (PR10) plant food allergens is responsible for the pollen‐food allergy syndrome.MethodsWe designed a recombinant protein, AB‐PreS, consisting of non‐allergenic peptides derived from the IgE‐binding sites of Bet v 1 and the cross‐reactive apple allergen, Mal d 1, fused to the PreS domain of HBV surface protein as immunological carrier. AB‐PreS was expressed in E. coli and purified by chromatography. The allergenic and inflammatory activity of AB‐PreS was tested using basophils and PBMCs from birch pollen allergic patients. The ability of antibodies induced by immunization of rabbits with AB‐PreS and birch pollen extract‐based vaccines to inhibit allergic patients IgE binding to Bet v 1 and Mal d 1 was assessed by ELISA.ResultsIgE‐binding experiments and basophil activation test revealed the hypoallergenic nature of AB‐PreS. AB‐PreS induced lower T‐cell activation and inflammatory cytokine production in cultured PBMCs from allergic patients. IgG antibodies induced by five injections with AB‐PreS inhibited allergic patients' IgE binding to Bet v 1 and Mal d 1 better than did IgG induced by up to 30 injections of six licensed birch pollen allergen extract‐based vaccines. Additionally, immunization with AB‐PreS induced HBV‐specific antibodies potentially protecting from infection with HBV.ConclusionThe recombinant AB‐PreS‐based vaccine is hypoallergenic and superior over currently registered allergen extract‐based vaccines regarding the induction of blocking antibodies to Bet v 1 and Mal d 1 in animals.
