Published: February 2023

PurposeDissimilar joining of austenitic stainless steels and ferritic steels is a challenging task and has a wide range of applications due to its excellent mechanical and thermal characteristics. They are joined mostly by using conventional modes. In the current investigation, the study and optimization of hot wire TIG welding parameters was carried out.Design/methodology/approachThese parameters will govern the desired characteristics of the joint. Solutions were found out through multi-response optimization by using response surface methodology and single response optimization using particle swarm optimization.FindingsOptimized input welding parameters that were achieved are electrode current 180 amps, wire feed rate 1870 mm/min and hot wire current 98 amps and the optimized UTS is 665.45 MPa. The results from PSO were compared with RSM and the optimized input welding parameters for the electrode current, hot wire current and wire feed rate exhibited maximum ultimate tensile strength which were also confirmed from response and contour plots.Originality/valueSensitivity analysis was also performed to understand the effect of each individual parameters on the response. Microstructure features were evaluated for the joints and was found that the characteristics are within the desired criteria.
The effect of others’ attributions in feedback
Authors: Sockbeson Caitlin E. Smith , DeNisi Angelo S. 
Published: February 2023

Purpose
Research has supported both feedback’s variable effects on performance and the effect of attributions on subsequent behavior. Managers’ attributions for subordinates’ performance affect how they react to those subordinates and the feedback they give, and subordinates’ own attributions affect their subsequent behavior. It is unclear whether (or how) a manager’s attributions for subordinate behavior affect subordinate behavior. Building on research that shows emotional reactions in response to attributions in feedback, this study aims to examine how recipients’ perceptions and subsequent effort and performance are affected when others’ attributions are shared through feedback.

Design/methodology/approach
Drawing on attribution theory and feedback intervention theory, this study conducts a lab experiment using manipulated performance feedback to test the effects of feedback sign and attributions in the feedback. Perceptions of the attribution are also measured to test their effects. The data were analyzed using analysis of variance and regression in SPSS 27.

Findings
Results show that perceptions of the attribution communicated in feedback, rather than feedback sign alone, affect perceived valence of the feedback (e.g. feedback with an attribution to luck is generally perceived as negative). These perceptions also affect feedback acceptance and impact subsequent effort and performance more than the “objective” attribution, underscoring the importance of recipient reactions and perceptions in the feedback process.

Originality/value
This paper shows that recipients’ perceptions of others’ attributions included in feedback impact feedback reactions, effort and performance. This is valuable to scholars researching feedback and to practitioners to better understand how feedback they deliver may be interpreted.
Probity or performance? 150 years of public expenditure reform, UK Defence 1850-2000
Authors: Bernardi Andrea , Hilton Brian 
Published: February 2023

Purpose
This paper analyses public sector accounting and organisation reforms, focusing on the departments in charge of defence, military procurement and war between 1850 and 2000 in Britain. Over this period, three parliamentary acts, resulting from a power struggle between the Treasury and Parliament, produced the shift between two institutional logics: probity (spending properly) and performance (spending well). The purpose of this paper is to describe how the acts produced a shift between two institutional logics.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors adopt Quattrone’s (2015) procedural notion of institutional logics and the consequent concept of “unfolding rationality”. Using documents from the National Archives, the authors analyse three reforms: The Exchequer and Audit Departments Act 1866 (towards probity), The Exchequer and Audit Departments Act 1921 (towards performance) and the National Audit Office Act of 1983 (towards performance and probity).

Findings
For a long time, the actors narrated in this story argued and acted as if probity and performance were incompatible. The two are now treated as compatible and equally important. Before that, the “incompatibility” was a rhetorical, or “procedural”, device. The authors argue that a procedural rather than substantive notion of institutional logics is more suitable to explain the trajectory that was the result of constant negotiation among actors.

Practical implications
The study might contribute to the understanding of the increase in national defence-spending at continental level and the call for a common European Union (EU) military procurement strategy that followed the invasion of Ukraine. The war could produce changes in what is a traditional tension between two logics: sovereignty or efficiency.

Originality/value
The originality of this paper stands in highlighting the link between the institutional logic of public-administration accounting and military history. This link emerges also thanks to a very long time-horizon. Additionally, from a theoretical viewpoint, the authors have put Quattrone’s approach to the test in a context very different from the original one (the Jesuit order).
Investigating the dark side of mobile bookkeeping applications: a moderated-mediation approach
Authors: Kumari Pooja , Kumar Aman 
Published: February 2023

Purpose
This study aims to examine the effect of usage, value, tradition, risk, compatibility and complexity barriers on user resistance to mobile bookkeeping applications. Furthermore, it also explores how the relationship between these barriers and user resistance is mediated by technostress. Finally, the authors analysed the moderating impact of self-efficacy on the mediating effect of technostress between barriers and user resistance.

Design/methodology/approach
Structured questionnaires were used to obtain data from 325 respondents. A structural equation modelling technique was used to investigate the hypotheses.

Findings
The findings suggest that usage, risk and tradition barrier has a significantly positive effect on user resistance intention. Also, results suggested that technostress plays an important role in framing customers’ resistance intention. Finally, the mediation effect of technostress between risk barrier and user resistance is higher for users having low levels of self-efficacy compared with users with high levels of self-efficacy.

Originality/value
The present research enriches the existing literature, especially in the field of mobile bookkeeping applications, user resistance, technostress and innovation resistance theory. It would help bookkeeping application developers design their apps, keeping the major user barriers in mind.

AbstractPostpartum haemorrhage remains a significant cause of maternal morbidity and mortality with the commonest reason being uterine atony. For prevention of uterine atony during caesarean delivery, oxytocin is advocated as a first line drug. There is however no published data regarding utility of a weight‐based oxytocin infusion. The present study evaluated dose–response relationship for oxytocin infusion when used as weight‐based regimen. A total of 55 non‐labouring patients without risk factors for uterine atony and scheduled for caesarean delivery under spinal anaesthesia were enrolled. Randomization was done to receive oxytocin infusion in a dose of 0.1, 0.15, 0.2, 0.25 or 0.3 IU kg−1 h−1 (n = 11 each), initiated at the time of cord clamping and continued until the end of surgery. Successful outcome was defined as attaining an adequate uterine response at 4 min of initiation of infusion and maintained till end of surgery. Oxytocin associated hypotension, tachycardia, ST‐T changes, nausea/vomiting, flushing and chest pain were also observed. A significant linear trend for adequate intraoperative uterine tone was seen with increasing dose of weight‐based oxytocin infusion (P < 0.001). The effective dose in 90% population (ED90) was 0.29 IU kg−1 h−1 (95% CI = 0.25–0.42). Amongst the oxytocin associated side effects, a significant linear trend was seen between increasing dose of oxytocin infusion and hypotension as well as nausea/vomiting (p = 0.016 and 0.023 respectively). Thus, oxytocin infusion during caesarean delivery may be used as per the patient's body weight.

AbstractAimsThe nutrition and dietetics service in Philippine public hospitals was implemented by the Department of Health in 2016 to standardise the daily allowance and nutritional content of inpatient meals. Five years later, it is timely for the Department of Health to assess the quality of inpatient meals and mandated nutrition processes in areas such as staffing, food service, and outcomes monitoring.MethodsA mixed‐method sequential explanatory design was employed using (1) quantitative assessment through a facility survey (n = 193 hospitals) and (2) qualitative exploration of quantitative results through 6 focus group discussions (n = 36 hospitals).ResultsPhilippine public hospitals were unequipped with the inputs necessary to implement processes that produce high‐quality meals for patients. The hospitals were unable to comply with the required minimum meal allowance (51%), nutritional content of meals (40%), and food service standards. Moreover, they had insufficient human resources and inefficient food procurement practices.ConclusionsThe quality of nutrition care and inpatient meals in Philippine public hospitals, who serve mostly people on low incomes, is a neglected problem in the Philippines. Moving forward, a systems approach involving the Department of Health, its regional offices, and hospital management is necessary to equip Philippine public hospitals with the inputs and structures necessary to provide high‐quality nutrition care and inpatient meals that will facilitate patient recovery and overall patient health.
Consumer perception of restaurant and ready‐to‐eat cheese dips
Authors: Best Anita R. , Racette Clara M. , Drake MaryAnne 
Published: February 2023

AbstractCheese dips are an expanding category sold as ready to eat (RTE) in grocery stores or served hot in restaurants (RST). The purpose of this study was to determine key consumer attributes for cheese dips and evaluate if key drivers of purchase for cheese dips were distinct between grocery store or restaurant purchase. An online survey (n = 931) was conducted. Participants were asked two different sets of questions based on the location they most frequently purchased and consumed cheese dip in the past 6 months, at a restaurant (n = 480) or from a grocery store (n = 451). Consumers first evaluated psychographic and agree/disagree questions regarding cheese dip and then completed maximum difference exercises focused on color and other extrinsic cheese dip attributes. Finally, an adaptive choice‐based conjoint was used to determine the relative importance of cheese dip attributes. Clustering of conjoint utility scores revealed differences in preference for spiciness, but similar preferences for other attributes within both consumer groups. RTE and RST consumers indicated that their ideal cheese dip was white in color, moderately thick, and of medium spiciness with small visible pepper pieces and jalapeno pepper flavor. For both consumer groups, spiciness was the most important characteristic of cheese dips, followed by package for RTE consumers and pepper flavor and consistency for RST consumers. Regardless of consumption context, consumers have similar ideal characteristics for cheese dips.Practical ApplicationThe primary drivers of purchase for cheese dip consumers are similar, regardless of context. Segmentation of consumer preferences reveals opportunities for product innovation. The data collected will aid in product development of cheese dips that better meet the needs of consumers.

AbstractOlfactory dysfunction is a prevalent symptom and an early marker of age‐related neurodegenerative diseases in humans, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Diseases. However, as olfactory dysfunction is also a common symptom of normal aging, it is important to identify associated behavioral and mechanistic changes that underlie olfactory dysfunction in nonpathological aging. In the present study, we systematically investigated age‐related behavioral changes in four specific domains of olfaction and the molecular basis in C57BL/6J mice. Our results showed that selective loss of odor discrimination was the earliest smelling behavioral change with aging, followed by a decline in odor sensitivity and detection while odor habituation remained in old mice. Compared to behavioral changes related with cognitive and motor functions, smelling loss was among the earliest biomarkers of aging. During aging, metabolites related with oxidative stress, osmolytes, and infection became dysregulated in the olfactory bulb, and G protein coupled receptor‐related signaling was significantly down regulated in olfactory bulbs of aged mice. Poly ADP‐ribosylation levels, protein expression of DNA damage markers, and inflammation increased significantly in the olfactory bulb of older mice. Lower NAD+ levels were also detected. Supplementation of NAD+ through NR in water improved longevity and partially enhanced olfaction in aged mice. Our studies provide mechanistic and biological insights into the olfaction decline during aging and highlight the role of NAD+ for preserving smelling function and general health.

AbstractThe aim of this study was to determine the physical and chemical characteristics of the bone structures during four developmental periods. Forty Wistar Albino rats (20 male and 20 female) were divided into four groups including prepubertal period (group I), period between adolescence and adulthood (group II) and later (young adult period as group III and old adult period as group IV). The bones were analysed by morphometric measurements, XRF (X‐ray fluorescence) analysis for mineral levels and BET analysis (Brunaurer–Emmett–Teller) for surface area and porosity. In morphometric measurements, the GL (greatest length) and the GLC (greatest length from caput femoris) values increased gradually from the first to the fourth group, and these values were higher in the males than the females. Phosphorus and calcium values were higher in the males in adult groups (third and fourth) compared to that for the females; however, they were higher in the females in groups up to adulthood (first and second). While the Ca/P ratio reached the highest value in the second group in the male, it decreased gradually afterwards. In females, the rate, which was close to each other in the first three groups, increased in the fourth group. Surface area size in the female and the male rats was the highest in the second group. In conclusion, changes in the rat bone structure during the development and adulthood periods of the body were revealed, and it was determined that the gender factor was effective in these changes.
Unfastening Israel's Future from the Occupation: Israeli Plans for Partial Annexation of West Bank Territory
Authors: Amir Merav 
Published: February 2023

AbstractIsraeli plans to partially annex West Bank territory have mainly been perceived as frustrating the two‐state solution, and as putting Palestine/Israel on a path leading to the one‐state alternative. This paper analyses partial annexation plans without assuming that the future of Palestine/Israel would necessarily abide by either statist resolution. It argues that by ostensibly distancing Israel's hold of the West Bank from an identifiable configuration of a belligerent occupation, partial annexation is offered to Jewish Israelis as a path for detaching the futurity of the two nations, and as a trajectory for normalising the Israeli state, without having to make what much of this public would see as painful concessions. It further explores settlers’ objections to such plans, claiming that even a partial incorporation of West Bank territory into formal Israel is expected to erode the exclusivity of Jewish domination which Israel has been upholding in its settler‐colonial frontier.

SummaryThe CD38‐targeting monoclonal antibodies (CD38 mAbs) are well‐established therapies in multiple myeloma (MM), but responses to treatment are not always deep or durable. Natural killer (NK) cells deficient in Fc epsilon receptor gamma subunits, known as g‐NK cells, are found in higher numbers among individuals exposed to cytomegalovirus (CMV) and are able to potentiate the efficacy of daratumumab in vivo. Here, we present a single‐centre, retrospective analysis of 136 patients with MM with known CMV serostatus who received a regimen containing a CD38 mAb (93.4% daratumumab and 6.6% isatuximab). CMV seropositivity was associated with an increased overall response rate to treatment regimens containing a CD38 mAb (odds ratio 2.65, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.17–6.02). However, CMV serostatus was associated with shorter time to treatment failure in a multivariate Cox model (7.8 vs. 8.8 months in the CMV‐seropositive vs. CMV‐seronegative groups respectively, log‐rank p = 0.18, hazard ratio 1.98, 95% CI 1.25–3.12). Our data suggest that CMV seropositivity may predict better response to CD38 mAbs, although this did not correspond to longer time to treatment failure. Larger studies directly quantitating g‐NK cells are required to fully understand their effect on CD38 mAb efficacy in MM.

ObjectivesTo compare the incidence of subsequent prostate cancer diagnosis and death following an initial non‐malignant systematic transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS) biopsy with that in an age‐ and calendar‐year matched population over a 20‐year period.Subjects and MethodsThis population‐based analysis compared a cohort of all men with initial non‐malignant TRUS biopsy in Denmark between 1995 and 2016 (N = 37 231) with the Danish population matched by age and calendar year, obtained from the NORDCAN 9.1 database. Age‐ and calendar year‐corrected standardized prostate cancer incidence (SIR) and prostate cancer‐specific mortality ratios (SMRs) were calculated and heterogeneity among age groups was assessed with the Cochran's Q test.ResultsThe median time to censoring was 11 years, and 4434 men were followed for more than 15 years. The corrected SIR was 5.2 (95% confidence interval [CI] 5.1–5.4) and the corrected SMR was 0.74 (95% CI 0.67–0.81). Estimates differed among age groups (P < 0.001 for both), with a higher SIR and SMR among younger men.ConclusionMen with non‐malignant TRUS biopsy have a much higher incidence of prostate cancer but a risk of prostate cancer death below the population average. This underlines that the oncological risk of cancers missed in the initial TRUS biopsy is low. Accordingly, attempts to increase the sensitivity of initial biopsy are unjustified. Moreover, current follow‐up after non‐malignant biopsy is likely to be overaggressive, particularly in men over the age of 60 years.
