The impact of post-disaster communication on destination visiting intention
Authors: Huang Mei , Wang Kexin , Liu Yue , Xu Shuangyu 
Published: May 2023

PurposeEffective post-disaster communication is essential for destination marketing organizations to encourage visitors following natural disasters. This research aimed to analyze the impact of two typical types of post-disaster communication messages – solidarity messages and testimonial messages – on post-disaster visiting intention. This research proposes effective communication strategies for post-disaster destination marketing.Design/methodology/approachFor the case of Jiuzhai Valley, China, which experienced market recovery after two years of rebuilding following a 2017 earthquake, this study designed three contextual experiments based on post-disaster communication scenarios on the Internet and social media to test the causal chain between recovery message types and post-disaster visiting intentions. The data were analyzed using analysis of variance, independent samples t-tests, and the bootstrap method.FindingsThe results indicate that both solidarity messages and testimonial messages evoked higher visiting intention than the no-message group. However, solidarity messages (vs testimonial messages) were more effective when shared on the destination management organization's official account than when they were shared on an influencer's account, with their effects being mediated by the symbolic – as opposed to the hedonic – value of tourist behavior.Practical implicationsDestination management organizations should actively carry out marketing communication through the Internet and social media for areas that have experienced disasters. Crisis communicators should consider inviting popular social media influencers to visit the destination and share their experiences to enhance market confidence, while also paying more attention to the operation of official social media accounts.Originality/valueThis study sheds light on the use of the Internet and social media as tools for post-disaster marketing. By expanding on post-disaster communication theory, this study fills a research gap regarding the effectiveness of tourism marketing strategies after a crisis.
Examining interactions of factors affecting e-learning adoption in higher education: insights from a fuzzy set qualitative and comparative analysis
Authors: Tyagi Sanjay Kumar , Krishankumar Raghunathan 
Published: May 2023

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to analyze the combined effect of eight factors – performance expectancy (PE), effort expectancy (EE), hedonic motivation (HM), system quality (SQ), information quality (IQ), service quality (SEQ), digital literacy (DL) and computer anxiety (CA) on learners’ behavioral intention (BI) toward the adoption of e-learning in higher education institutions (HEIs) in India.

Design/methodology/approach
The study used factors from two theoretical models, the extended Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology and the DeLone and McLean Information Systems Success model. The study also considered DL and CA as additional factors because they could affect a learner’s intention in a developing country like India. Data were collected from three HEIs in Southern India and analyzed using fuzzy qualitative and comparative analysis (fsQCA).

Findings
The results of the study emphasize the importance of considering both individual and technological factors in e-learning adoption and provide evidence for the significance of integrating multiple theories in understanding the complex relationship between factors and learners’ BI. Four different configurations of the eight factors: EE*HM*SQ*IQ*SEQ*DL*∼CA; PE*EE*HM*SQ*IQ*DL*CA; PE*EE*HM*IQ*SEQ*DL*CA; and PE*EE*SQ*IQ*SEQ*DL*CA found to be sufficient to cause learners’ BI to use e-learning.

Research limitations/implications
This study explores the complex relationship between different factors and learners’ intention to adopt e-learning using the fsQCA method. These findings may need further validation in HEIs across different geographical locations.

Practical implications
This study provides practical insights for HEIs in India and other developing countries on how different factors combine and interact to determine e-learning adoption in multiple contexts.

Originality/value
Using fsQCA as a novel and rigorous method, this study uncovers the complex and nonlinear causal relationships among various factors that affect e-learning adoption. This study provides a holistic and contextualized understanding of e-learning adoption in a developing country’s scenario. This study can inform educators and policymakers on how to design and implement effective e-learning strategies that suit different learner profiles and contexts.
A chemosensitive-based ammonia gas sensor with PANI/PEO–ZnO nanofiber composites sensing layer
Authors: Konuk Ege Gözde , Akay Özge , Yüce Hüseyin 
Published: May 2023

Purpose
This study aims to investigate the ammonia-sensing performance of polyaniline/polyethylene oxide (PANI/PEO) and polyaniline/polyethylene oxide/zinc oxide (PANI/PEO-ZnO) composite nanofibers at room temperature.

Design/methodology/approach
Gas sensor structures were fabricated using microfabrication techniques. First, onto the SiO2 wafer, gold electrodes were fabricated via thermal evaporation. PANI/PEO nanofibers were produced by the electrospinning method, and the ZnO layer was deposited by using radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering on the electrospun nanofibers as a sensing layer. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction were performed to characterize the analysis of nanofibers. After all, gas sensing analysis of PANI/PEO and PANI/PEO/ZnO nanofibers was conducted using an experimental setup at room temperature conditions. Furthermore, the impact of humidity (17%–90% RH) on the sensor resistance was actively investigated.

Findings
FTIR analysis confirms the presence of functional groups of PANI, PEO and ZnO in nanofiber structure. SEM micrographs demonstrate beads-free, thinner and smooth nanofibers with ZnO contribution to electrospun PANI/PEO nanofibers. Moreover, according to the gas sensing results, the PANI/PEO nanofibers exhibit 115 s and 457 s response time and recovery time, respectively. However, the PANI/PEO/ZnO nanofibers exhibit 245 s and 153 s response time and recovery time, respectively. PANI/PEO/MOx composite nanofibers ensure stability to the NH3 gas owing to the high surface/volume ratio and decrease in the humidity dependence of gas sensors, making gas sensors more stable to the environment.

Originality/value
In this study, ZnO was deposited via RF magnetron sputtering techniques on PANI/PEO nanofibers as a different approach instead of in situ polymerization to investigate and enhance the sensor response and recovery time of the PANI/PEO/ZnO and PANI/PEO composite nanofibers to ammonia. These results indicated that ZnO can enhance the sensing properties of conductive polymer-based resistive sensors.
Transient analysis of variable thickness multi-directional functionally graded plates using isogeometric analysis
Authors: Tran Minh Thi , Thai Son 
Published: May 2023

PurposeThe main objective of this study is to develop a numerical model based on Isogeometric Analysis to study the dynamic behavior of multi-directional functionally graded plates with variable thickness.Design/methodology/approachA numerical study was conducted on the dynamic behavior of multi-directional functionally graded plates. Rectangular and circular plates with variable thickness are taken into investigation. The third-order shear deformation plate theory of Reddy is used to describe the displacement field, while the equation of motion is developed based on the Hamilton's principle. Isogeometric Analysis approach is employed as a discretization tool to develop the system equation, where NURBS basis functions are used. The famous Newmark method is used to solve time-dependent problems.FindingsThe results obtained from this study indicated that the thickness gradation has a more considerable effect than in-plane variation of materials in MFGM plates. Additionally, the influence of the damping factor is observed to affect the vibration amplitude of the plate. The results obtained from this study could be used for future investigations, where the viscous elasticity and other dynamic factors are considered.Originality/valueAlthough there have been a number of studies in the literature devoted to analyzing the linear static bending and free vibration of FGM and MFGM plates with variable thickness, the study on dynamic response of FGM and MFGM plate is still limited. Therefore, this study is dedicated to the investigation of the dynamic behavior of multi-directional functionally graded plates.
“Tis the season to…” segment the market
Authors: Furnelli Anthony , Hart Phil 
Published: May 2023

Research methodology
This compact case study was developed from secondary sources readily available in the public domain. These included company websites, videos, social media and news articles.

Case overview/synopsis
Hallmark had a strong history of supporting diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. During the 2019 holiday season, Hallmark Channel was suddenly caught in the middle of a Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ) ad controversy that attracted media attention. Critics of the ad claimed it went too far and was “inappropriate” to air. LGBTQ advocacy groups quickly rebuked that argument. Ultimately, the media frenzy was short-lived and Hallmark Channel continued to dominate the holiday programming landscape. This case evaluates the marketing aspects of the dilemma including customer segmentation, targeting and positioning (STP) strategy issues. Culture and industry analysis is also provided as a way for the reader to understand the complexity associated with marketing strategy. One underlying question is what role does STP play in understanding how to develop marketing strategies that build customer loyalty and help organizations compete in the marketplace?

Complexity academic level
This case should be used in marketing and management classes at the undergraduate level. Applicable concepts include segmentation, targeting, positioning, advertising, brand strategy and DEI issues. This case could also be taught in a DEI course or a segmentation special topics class that discusses the differences between customer groups.

AbstractThe wild relatives of modern tomato crops are native to South America. These plants occur in habitats as different as the Andes and the Atacama Desert and are, to some degree, all susceptible to fungal pathogens of the genus Alternaria. Alternaria is a large genus. On tomatoes, several species cause early blight, leaf spots and other diseases. We collected Alternaria‐like infection lesions from the leaves of eight wild tomato species from Chile and Peru. Using molecular barcoding markers, we characterized the pathogens. The infection lesions were caused predominantly by small‐spored species of Alternaria of the section Alternaria, like A. alternata, but also by Stemphylium spp., Alternaria spp. from the section Ulocladioides and other related species. Morphological observations and an infection assay confirmed this. Comparative genetic diversity analyses show a larger diversity in this wild system than in studies of cultivated Solanum species. As A. alternata has been reported to be an increasing problem in cultivated tomatoes, investigating the evolutionary potential of this pathogen is not only interesting to scientists studying wild plant pathosystems. It could also inform crop protection and breeding programs to be aware of potential epidemics caused by species still confined to South America.

AbstractObjectiveTo investigate the clinical characteristics of systemic lupus erythematosus accompanied by autoimmune liver cirrhosis (SLE‐ALC) patients and differences from the non‐cirrhosis group.MethodsForty‐three patients with SLE‐ALC were enrolled in this study from 2653 patients with SLE in Peking University People's Hospital. A descriptive case–control study was performed between SLE‐ALC patients and the entry time‐matched non‐cirrhosis group.ResultsAmong the 43 SLE‐ALC patients, 41 (95.3%) were female. Eight patients (18.6%) were first found to have cirrhosis and then diagnosed with SLE. Eighteen patients (41.9%) had jaundice and 27 (62.8%) had esophageal and gastric varices. The age of SLE‐ALC patients was 51.1 ± 17.2 years, which was significantly older than the non‐cirrhosis group (P < 0.001). Lung involvement was more common as initial manifestations in SLE‐ALC patients during the SLE course (P=0.027). Compared with the non‐cirrhosis group, SLE‐ALC patients had worse liver function. A significantly higher rate of hematological system involvement (anemia, leucopenia, and thrombocytopenia) and a higher level of immunoglobulins were observed in SLE‐ALC patients (P<0.05). Moreover, SLE‐ALC patients displayed a lower positive rate of anti‐double‐stranded DNA and anti‐ribosomal P protein (P<0.05). The most common radiologic manifestations are ascitic fluid (72.1%) and splenomegaly (71.4%) in SLE‐ALC patients. Six SLE‐ALC patients underwent liver biopsy, and interface hepatitis was present in all patients.ConclusionsCirrhosis is rare in SLE patients but is manifested as a unique pattern of clinical features characterized by late‐onset age, lung involvement, high immunoglobulins, and impaired liver function.
The value of personal professional financial advice to clients: A systematic quantitative literature review
Authors: MacDonald Kirsten L. , Loy Ellana , Brimble Mark , Wildman Karen 
Published: May 2023

AbstractFinancial advice is perceived to be inaccessible and complicated with consumers at the mercy of a sector under sustained scrutiny, raising questions about value for clients. This study systematically reviews the literature on the value of financial advice. Extant research focuses on financial benefits and lacks a holistic view of value and the factors impacting it. Gaps exist across non‐financial benefits, geographic regions and over time. We call for a sustained and coordinated approach to research in this field. The findings inform consumer engagement strategies, policies concerning the uptake of professional financial advice and development of the profession.
Glucocorticoids are differentially synthesized along the murine and human respiratory tree

Published: May 2023

AbstractBackgroundSynthetic glucocorticoids (GC) are effective in the treatment of inflammatory diseases of the lung. However, long‐term use leads to severe side effects. Endogenous GC can be synthesized locally, either de novo from cholesterol in a 11β‐hydroxylase (Cyp11b1)‐dependent manner, or by reactivation from 11‐dehydrocorticosterone/cortisone by 11β‐hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1 (Hsd11b1). We aimed to define the molecular pathways of endogenous GC synthesis along the respiratory tree to provide a basis for understanding how local GC synthesis contributes to tissue homeostasis.MethodsExpression of steroidogenic enzymes in murine lung epithelium was analyzed by macroscopic and laser capture microdissection, followed by RT‐qPCR. Flow cytometry analysis was performed to identify the cellular source of steroidogenic enzymes. Additionally, the induction of steroidogenic enzyme expression in the lung was analyzed after lipopolysaccharide (LPS) injection. mRNA and protein expression of steroidogenic enzymes was confirmed in human lung tissue by RT‐qPCR and immunohistochemistry. Furthermore, GC synthesis was examined in ex vivo cultures of fresh tissue from mice and human lobectomy patients.ResultsWe observed that the murine and human lung tissue differentially expresses synthesis pathway‐determining enzymes along the respiratory tree. We detected Hsd11b1 expression in bronchial, alveolar, club and basal epithelial cells, whereas Cyp11b1 expression was detectable only in tracheal epithelial cells of mice. Accordingly, de novo synthesis of bioactive GC occurred in the large conducting airways, whereas reactivation occurred everywhere along the respiratory tree. Strikingly, Cyp11b1 but not Hsd11b1 expression was enhanced in the trachea upon LPS injection in mice.ConclusionWe report here the differential synthesis of bioactive GC along the murine and human respiratory tree. Thus, extra‐adrenal de novo GC synthesis and reactivation may differentially contribute to the regulation of immunological and inflammatory processes in the lung.

AbstractBackgroundTo assess rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) surgery trends and training among young ophthalmologists (YOs, vitreoretinal fellows or attendings/consultants with ≤10 years of independent practice) and the impact of the COVID‐19 pandemic.MethodsAn anonymous online survey was completed by 117 YOs in the Asia‐Pacific regarding their RRD surgery experiences in 2021–2022.ResultsTo achieve a 90% probability of surgical competency, 91 vitrectomy and 34 scleral buckling (SB) completions during fellowship were needed. In total, 49 (41.9%) YOs had fellowship affected by COVID‐19. In the COVID versus pre‐COVID era, however, the volume of SB completions per fellowship year decreased significantly (median [IQR] 3.3 [1.5, 9] vs. 13 [6.5, 23];p < 0.001) and was lower than the required volume to achieve competency. YOs were less confident in conducting SB versus vitrectomy (3.5 ± 1.1 vs. 4.2 ± 0.8,p < 0.001), and they reported a decrease in the proportion of SB (−3.1%,p = 0.047) and an increase in the proportion of vitrectomy (+4.8%,p < 0.001) after the pandemic outbreak. Apart from RRD clinical characteristics, surgical confidence is among the main factors that affect surgical method decisions. During the pandemic, more YOs may have avoided SB due to the need for general anaesthesia, leading to longer surgical time and risk of viral transmission during intubation/extubation.ConclusionsSB surgical exposure is suboptimal in most fellowship programs in the 11 Asia‐Pacific countries/regions we surveyed and further declined during the COVID‐19 pandemic. YOs are less confident in performing SB, leading to a trend toward primary vitrectomy since the COVID‐19 outbreak.

Published: May 2023

AbstractBackground and purposeAcute flaccid myelitis (AFM) and transverse myelitis (TM) are serious conditions that may be difficult to differentiate, especially at onset of disease. In this study, we compared clinical features of pediatric AFM and TM and evaluated current diagnostic criteria, aiming to improve early and accurate diagnosis.MethodsTwo cohorts of children with enterovirus D68‐associated AFM and clinically diagnosed TM were compared regarding presenting clinical features, additional investigations, and outcome. Current diagnostic criteria for AFM and TM were applied to evaluate their specificity.ResultsChildren with AFM (n = 21) compared to those with TM (n = 36) were younger (median 3 vs. 10 years), more often had a prodromal illness (100% vs. 39%), predominant proximal weakness (69% vs. 17%), and hyporeflexia (100% vs. 44%), and less often had sensory deficits (0% vs. 81%), bowel and/or bladder dysfunction (12% vs. 69%), and hyperreflexia (0% vs. 44%). On magnetic resonance imaging, brainstem involvement was more common in AFM (74% vs. 21%), whereas supratentorial abnormalities were only seen in TM (0% vs. 40%). When omitting the criterion of a sensory level, 11 of 15 (73%) children with AFM fulfilled the diagnostic criteria for TM. Of children with TM, four of 33 (12%) fulfilled the diagnostic criteria for probable/definite AFM.ConclusionsAlthough there is considerable overlap between AFM and TM in children, we found important early differentiating clinical and diagnostic features. Meeting diagnostic criteria for AFM in children with TM and vice versa underlines the importance of thorough clinical examination and early and accurate diagnostic studies.

AbstractBackground and purposeInflammatory disease activity in multiple sclerosis (MS) decreases with advancing age. Previous work found a decrease in contrast‐enhancing lesions (CELs) with age. Here, we describe the relation of age and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measures of inflammatory disease activity during long‐term follow‐up in a large real‐world cohort of people with relapse onset MS.MethodsWe investigated MRI data from the long‐term observational Amsterdam MS cohort. We used logistic regression models and negative binomial generalized estimating equations to investigate the associations between age and radiological disease activity after a first clinical event.ResultsWe included 1063 participants and 10,651 cranial MRIs. Median follow‐up time was 6.1 years (interquartile range = 2.4–10.9 years). Older participants had a significantly lower risk of CELs on baseline MRI (40–50 years vs. <40 years: odds ratio [OR] = 0.640, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.45–0.90; >50 years vs. <40 years: OR = 0.601, 95% CI = 0.33–1.08) and a lower risk of new T2 lesions or CELs during follow‐up (40–50 years vs. <40 years: OR = 0.563, 95% CI = 0.47–0.67; >50 years vs. <40 years: OR = 0.486, 95% CI = 0.35–0.68).ConclusionsGreater age is associated with a lower risk of inflammatory MRI activity at baseline and during long‐term follow‐up. In patients aged >50 years, a less aggressive treatment strategy might be appropriate compared to younger patients.
