Critical open access literacy as a strategy to confront the challenges in scholarly communication
Authors: Šobota Dijana 
Published: February 2024

PurposeThe paper seeks to introduce the “critical open access literacy” construct as a holistic approach to confront the challenges in open access (OA) as a dimension of scholarly communication.Design/methodology/approachThe paper first introduces the concepts of information literacy (IL) and OA in the context of transformations in the scholarly information environment. Via a theoretical-analytical exercise on the basis of a literature review of the intersections between the two concepts and of the criticisms of OA, the paper discusses the role of critical IL in addressing the challenges in OA and lays the theoretical-conceptual groundwork for the critical OA literacy construct.FindingsThe structural nature of the challenges and transformations in the scholarly information environment require new foci and pedagogical practices in library and information studies. A more holistic, critical and integrative approach to OA is warranted, which could effectively be achieved through the re-conceptualization of IL.Practical implicationsThe paper specifies the avenues for putting the theoretical conceptualizations of critical OA literacy into practice by identifying possible foci for IL instruction alongside a transformed role for librarians.Originality/valueThe paper extends deliberations on the role of critical IL for scholarly communication and attempts to advance the research fields of the two domains by proposing a new construct situated at the junction of OA and IL.
Motivating factors for blockchain technology adoption: a theoretical analysis from the perspective of supply chain collaboration
Authors: Silva Bárbara Elis , Vieira José Geraldo Vidal , Yoshizaki Hugo 
Published: February 2024

Purpose
This study aims to identify the driving factors that influence blockchain technology adoption in the context of a supply chain (SC), considering three dimensions: technology, transactions and collaboration.

Design/methodology/approach
An integrative systematic literature review of previous studies was conducted. Using three main dimensions: technology, transactions and SC collaboration, supported by the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology, transaction cost economics (TCE) and concepts of SC collaboration, the authors categorized factors that contributed to blockchain technology in SC in the extant literature and proposed a theoretical model that covers these three dimensions.

Findings
The findings reveal that the information sharing category – related to the SC collaboration dimension – is the category with the greatest number of motivating factors for blockchain adoption in the SC context, followed by performance expectancy and behavioral uncertainty.

Research limitations/implications
The review considers papers published until 2021 obtained from a specific database.

Originality/value
This study focuses on filling the research gap concerning technology adoption as it considers the interconnection formed by two organizations, interorganizational transactions and SC collaboration, using complementary theories to explain the phenomenon.
Factors affecting restaurant choices for traditional foods among Gen Y and Gen Z: a multigenerational study on Vietnamese “Pho”
Authors: Hoang Dung Phuong , Nguyen Hai Dang , Nguyen Vy Thanh Ngoc , Nong Hieu Trung , Pham Phong Tran , Tran Tam Minh 
Published: February 2024

PurposeModernization and the rise of living standards have introduced new variants of traditional foods, from their tastes to the way they are enjoyed. This study aims to explore and examine the impacts of both traditional and modern marketing stimuli on restaurant choice intention for experiencing culinary traditions, hence answering the question of how traditional and modern aspects live together to bring about the most desirable experience for customers of traditional cuisine.Design/methodology/approachBased on the stimuli-organism-response (S-O-R) theory and mixed research methods, a model linking service quality dimensions, perceived value and restaurant choice intention is formulated and tested on quantitative data from 431 customers of Gen Y and Gen Z, given the case of Vietnamese Pho.FindingsThe findings show that food quality demonstrates the strongest impact on restaurant choice intention, followed by authenticity and nostalgia marketing. These relationships are partially mediated by perceived value. Hygiene risks and perceived value are also found to directly affect restaurant choice intention. Nevertheless, our findings are quite different between Gen Y and Gen Z customers.Practical implicationsThis research provides crucial strategic implications for restaurant managers when it comes to serving traditional foods for different generations.Originality/valueThis study responds to the existing gap by examining and comparing the impacts of traditional and modern marketing stimuli on restaurant choice intention through the mediating role of perceived value. Our study also actively contributes to the ongoing multigenerational research stream by affirming the moderation role of generations (Gen Y and Gen Z) in those relationships.
Combining artificial and human intelligence to manage cross-cultural knowledge in humanitarian logistics: a Yin–Yang dialectic systems view of knowledge creation
Authors: Chin Tachia , Cheng T.C.E. , Wang Chenhao , Huang Lei 
Published: February 2024

Purpose
Aiming to resolve cross-cultural paradoxes in combining artificial intelligence (AI) with human intelligence (HI) for international humanitarian logistics, this paper aims to adopt an unorthodox Yin–Yang dialectic approach to address how AI–HI interactions can be interpreted as a sophisticated cross-cultural knowledge creation (KC) system that enables more effective decision-making for providing humanitarian relief across borders.

Design/methodology/approach
This paper is conceptual and pragmatic in nature, whereas its structure design follows the requirements of a real impact study.

Findings
Based on experimental information and logical reasoning, the authors first identify three critical cross-cultural challenges in AI–HI collaboration: paradoxes of building a cross-cultural KC system, paradoxes of integrative AI and HI in moral judgement and paradoxes of processing moral-related information with emotions in AI–HI collaboration. Then applying the Yin–Yang dialectic to interpret Klir’s epistemological frame (1993), the authors propose an unconventional stratified system of cross-cultural KC for understanding integrative AI–HI decision-making for humanitarian logistics across cultures.

Practical implications
This paper aids not only in deeply understanding complex issues stemming from human emotions and cultural cognitions in the context of cross-border humanitarian logistics, but also equips culturally-diverse stakeholders to effectively navigate these challenges and their potential ramifications. It enhances the decision-making process and optimizes the synergy between AI and HI for cross-cultural humanitarian logistics.

Originality/value
The originality lies in the use of a cognitive methodology of the Yin–Yang dialectic to metaphorize the dynamic genesis of integrative AI-HI KC for international humanitarian logistics. Based on system science and knowledge management, this paper applies game theory, multi-objective optimization and Markov decision process to operationalize the conceptual framework in the context of cross-cultural humanitarian logistics.
Effect of silica fume on Pullout capacity and corrosion resistance of hook bars in the external beam-column concrete joint
Authors: Alameeri Ayad , Abdollahzadeh Gholamreza , Hashemiheidari Seyedkomeil 
Published: February 2024

Purpose
This study aims to determine the effect of replacing a portion of the cement in the concrete mixture with silica fume (SF) on the corrosion resistance of reinforcing bars, the compressive strength of concrete and the tensile strength of hook bars in both corroded and non-corroded external joints of structures. The external beam-column connection was studied because of its critical role in maintaining structural continuity in all three directions and providing resistance to rotation.

Design/methodology/approach
In external concrete joints, the bars at the end of the beams are often bent at 90° to form hooks that embed in columns. Owing to the importance of embedding distance and the need to understand its susceptibility to corrosion damage from chloride attack, a series of experiments were conducted on 12 specimens that accurately simulate real-site conditions in terms of dimensions, reinforcement and hook bars. SF was replaced with 10% and 15% of the weight of cement in the concrete mixture. To simulate corrosion, the specimens were subjected to accelerated corrosion in the laboratory by applying a low continuous current of 0.35 mA for 58 days.

Findings
The results revealed the effect of SF in improving the compressive strength of concrete, the pullout resistance of the hook bars and the corrosion resistance. In addition, it showed an apparent effect of the corrosion of reinforcing bars in reducing the bonding strength of hook bars with concrete and the effect of SF in improving this strength.

Originality/value
It was noted that the improvement of the results, achieved by replacing 10% of the weight of cement with SF, was significantly close to the results obtained by replacing 15% of the SF. It is recommended that an SF ratio of 10% be adopted to achieve the greatest economic savings.
Current understanding of Bordetella‐induced cough
Authors: Horiguchi Yasuhiko 
Published: February 2024

AbstractTypical pathogenic bacteria of the genus Bordetella cause respiratory diseases, many of which are characterized by severe coughing in host animals. In human infections with these bacteria, such as whooping cough, coughing imposes a heavy burden on patients. The pathophysiology of this severe coughing had long been uncharacterized because convenient animal models that reproduce Bordetella‐induced cough have not been available. However, rat and mouse models were recently shown as useful for understanding, at least partially, the causative factors and the mechanism of Bordetella‐induced cough. Many types of coughs are induced under various physiological conditions, and the neurophysiological pathways of coughing are considered to vary among animal species, including humans. However, the neurophysiological mechanisms of the coughs in different animal species have not been entirely understood, and, accordingly, the current understanding of Bordetella‐induced cough is still incomplete. Nevertheless, recent research findings may open the way for the development of prophylaxis and therapeutic measures against Bordetella‐induced cough.
Editors are biased too: An extension of Fox et al. (2023)'s analysis makes the case for triple‐blind review

Published: February 2024

Abstract

Functional Ecology conducted a randomised trial comparing single‐ and double‐blind peer review; a recent analysis of this data found substantial evidence for bias by reviewers.

We show that this dataset can also be analysed for editor bias, after controlling for both reviewer bias and paper quality.

Our analysis shows that editors tend to be more likely to invite high‐scoring manuscripts for revision or resubmission when the first author is a man from a country with a very high Human Development Index (HDI); first authors who were women or not from very high HDI countries were more likely to be rejected at this stage.

We propose that journals consider a triple‐blind review process where neither editors nor reviewers know the identity of authors, and authors do not know the identity of reviewers nor editors.

The Cost of Congestion for State and Local General Government Services in Australia
Authors: Chan Felix , Petchey Jeffrey D. 
Published: February 2024

AbstractAs the population increases, spending on publicly provided goods must also increase if there is congestion and governments want to maintain provision of the same level of benefit to everyone. This article estimates a parameter capturing this impact of congestion for the state and local component of the general government sector in Australia. It shows the congestion parameter is likely to be between 0.51 and 0.84 implying super congestion and/or decreasing returns to scale have dominated the supply of these goods. The per person cost of congestion has been rising and differs across states. Larger jurisdictions also have relatively higher per person congestion costs.
The Delicate Equilibrium: Unveiling the Curvilinear Nexus Between Supply Concentration and Organizational Resilience
Authors: Ren Yeyao , Li Julie Juan , Zhao Wenhong , Zhang Liang 
Published: February 2024

AbstractThe ability of organizations to remain resilient in the face of supply chain disruptions has been severely tested due to their increased frequency and impact. This study leverages the adaptive cycle framework to investigate the intricate dynamics between supply concentration and organizational resilience. We unveil a paradox where, up to a critical threshold, supply concentration fortifies resilience through tight‐knit buyer–supplier relationships and a bolstered resource base. Yet, surpassing this tipping point precipitates a rigidity trap, eroding the resilience fabric of organizations. Additionally, we scrutinize the nuanced roles of three dimensions of entrepreneurial orientation – proactiveness, innovativeness and risk‐taking – in shaping this complex interplay. We test our hypotheses using both secondary and primary data collected from Chinese firms, employing ordinary least‐squares regression and survival analysis. The results show that an inverted U‐shaped relationship emerges between supply concentration and organizational resilience. Furthermore, our research generally confirms the conjectured moderating influences of entrepreneurial orientation dimensions, enriching our understanding of how they calibrate the balance between concentration benefits and vulnerabilities. This study offers a new perspective on the implications of supply concentration for organizational resilience and contributes to the intersection of supply chain management, organizational resilience and entrepreneurship.

AbstractObjectiveTo assess the association of the umbilicocerebral ratio (UCR) with adverse perinatal outcome in late preterm small‐for‐gestational age (SGA) fetuses and to investigate the effect on perinatal outcomes of immediate delivery.DesignMulticentre cohort study with nested randomised controlled trial (RCT).SettingNineteen secondary and tertiary care centres.PopulationSingleton SGA pregnancies (estimated fetal weight [EFW] or fetal abdominal circumference [FAC] <10th centile) from 32 to 36+6 weeks.MethodsWomen were classified: (1) RCT‐eligible: abnormal UCR twice consecutive and EFW below the 3rd centile at/or below 35 weeks or below the 10th centile at 36 weeks; (2) abnormal UCR once or intermittent; (3) never abnormal UCR. Consenting RCT‐eligible patients were randomised for immediate delivery from 34 weeks or expectant management until 37 weeks.Main outcome measuresA composite adverse perinatal outcome (CAPO), defined as perinatal death, birth asphyxia or major neonatal morbidity.ResultsThe cohort consisted of 690 women. The study was halted prematurely for low RCT‐inclusion rates (n = 40). In the RCT‐eligible group, gestational age at delivery, birthweight and birthweight multiple of the median (MoM) (0.66, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.59–0.72) were significantly lower and the CAPO (n = 50, 44%, p < 0.05) was more frequent. Among patients randomised for immediate delivery there was a near‐significant lower birthweight (p = 0.05) and higher CAPO (p = 0.07). EFW MoM, pre‐eclampsia, gestational hypertension and Doppler classification were independently associated with the CAPO (area under the curve 0.71, 95% CI 0.67–0.76).ConclusionsPerinatal risk was effectively identified by low EFW MoM and UCR. Early delivery of SGA fetuses with an abnormal UCR at 34–36 weeks should only be performed in the context of clinical trials.
Morphometric analysis for determination of larval instars in Dermestes frischii Kugelann and Dermestes undulatus Brahm (Coleoptera: Dermestidae)
Authors: Lambiase Simonetta , Corotti Simone , Sacchi Roberto 
Published: February 2024

AbstractDermestes frischii Kugelann, 1792 and Dermestes undulatus Brahm, 1790 are the most abundant species worldwide at outdoor or indoor crime scenes during the dry and skeletal stages of decomposition. The attribution of larval age in these beetles is problematic due to the variable number of instars, which is influenced by environmental factors. In this study, a morphometric approach was used to look for potential morphological features as evidence of larval stages. Breeding and monitoring were performed for both species in an incubator with a preset temperature of 28°C ± 0.5 without a photoperiod. Morphometric measurements were made on 10 larvae per instar for each species using length, width, and thickness parameters. Linear discriminant analysis was then used to generate decision boundaries that clearly separated larval stages. The cross‐validation procedure demonstrated that the morphometric approach successfully discriminated adjacent larval stages in both species with high values of sensitivity and specificity. This less‐invasive approach could improve the ability to estimate minPMI in forensic studies of Dermestidae beetles. Future studies may extend this approach to other species and establish good practices for collecting and storing specimens for morphometric analysis.
From intimate partners to serial killers: Nearly 40 years of female homicides in King County, Washington (1978–2016)
Authors: Jetson Jillian , Maioli Heather , Harruff Richard C. , Jackson Nicole R. 
Published: February 2024

AbstractAn extreme, known potential outcome of intimate partner violence (IPV) is death, with national data revealing females are more likely to be killed by intimate partners than by others. In a novel pairing, the King County Medical Examiner's Office data management system and the Washington State Attorney General's Office's Homicide Information Tracking System were retrospectively analyzed (1978–2016) with information gathered pertaining to female homicide victims. Analyses show that female victims commonly knew their assailant(s) (79.3%) who were overwhelmingly male (92.8%) and commonly intimate partners (31.4%). Disproportionately represented were Black (20.17%) and Native American (4.25%) females; Asian/Pacific Islander (2.5 times that of Whites) and elderly (24%) females among homicide–suicide deaths; and Asian/Pacific Islander and Hispanic females in cases of IPV. “Domestic violence” was the most cited motive (34.3%) and most assaults occurred in a residence (58.73%). Females under 10 years of age were most commonly killed by a parent or caregiver (42.86%), while those over 70 were most likely to be killed by a child (23.08%) or spouse (21.80%). Serial murders, most commonly by the Green River Killer (80%) but including others, accounted for at least 7% of deaths, with victims notably young and commonly sex workers (68%). As compared to males, females were more likely to be killed by multiple modalities, asphyxia, and sharp force, though IPV‐related deaths were more likely to be associated with firearms. This study reinforces the vulnerability of females to IPV, sexual assault, and serial murders as well as to caretakers at the extremities of age.

Published: February 2024

AbstractAimTo assess the feasibility, efficacy and safety of performing photoselective vaporisation of the prostate (PVP) as a day‐surgery procedure for patients with benign prostatic obstruction.Patients and MethodsA prospective single‐arm observational study was performed involving patients with benign prostatic obstruction (BPO) who received PVP between 2017 and 2021. Data were collected on demographics, prostate volume by transrectal ultrasonography, mean peak flow rate (Qmax), post‐void residual urine volume, International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) with quality‐of‐life (QoL) index, length of stay, success in weaning off catheter on the day of operation and complications.ResultsPVP was performed successfully in all 37 men between 2017 and 2021. Their mean age was 67 years. The mean prostate volume was 54 mL. The mean duration of operation was 80 min. The mean peak urinary flow rate improved from 9.14 to 16.8, 17.3 and 15.4 mL/s at post‐operative 1, 3 and 12 months, respectively (P = .001). The mean IPSS score improved from 19.5 to 8.94, 6.40 and 5.63 at post‐operative 1, 3 and 12 months, respectively (P < .001). The mean QoL index improved from 4.07 to 2.43, 2.25 and 1.81 at post‐operative 1, 3 and 12 months, respectively (P = .001). The mean duration of catheterisation after PVP was 5.81 h. Thirty‐three (89.2%) patients were discharged on the same day. Overall, the 30‐day complication rate was 27%. The most common complication was haematuria (6 patients, 16.2%). Five patients (13.5%) required readmission and inpatient care. There was one Clavien–Dindo grade III and IV complication (2.6%), respectively.ConclusionThis study demonstrated the feasibility of performing PVP as a day‐surgery procedure with good short‐ and medium‐term functional outcomes and safety profiles.
