Legendre wavelets based approach for the solution of type-2 fuzzy uncertain smoking model of fractional order
Authors: Mohapatra Dhabaleswar , Chakraverty Snehashish 
Published: June 2023

PurposeInvestigation of the smoking model is important as it has a direct effect on human health. This paper focuses on the numerical analysis of the fractional order giving up smoking model. Nonetheless, due to observational or experimental errors, or any other circumstance, it may contain some incomplete information. Fuzzy sets can be used to deal with uncertainty. Yet, there may be some inconsistency in the membership as well. As a result, the primary goal of this proposed work is to numerically solve the model in a type-2 fuzzy environment.Design/methodology/approachTriangular perfect quasi type-2 fuzzy numbers (TPQT2FNs) are used to deal with the uncertainty in the model. In this work, concepts of r2-cut at r1-plane are used to model the problem's uncertain parameter. The Legendre wavelet method (LWM) is then utilised to solve the giving up smoking model in a type-2 fuzzy environment.FindingsLWM has been effectively employed in conjunction with the r2-cut at r1-plane notion of type-2 fuzzy sets to solve the model. The LWM has the advantage of converting the non-linear fractional order model into a set of non-linear algebraic equations. LWM scheme solutions are found to be well agreed with RK4 scheme solutions. The existence and uniqueness of the model's solution have also been demonstrated.Originality/valueTo deal with the uncertainty, type-2 fuzzy numbers are used. The use of LWM in a type-2 fuzzy uncertain environment to achieve the model's required solutions is quite fascinating, and this is the key focus of this work.

Published: June 2023

PurposeThe negative effects of job stress and burnout on construction professionals (CPs) at the construction site have been widely concern in the construction industry. The purpose of this study is committed to explore the impact of job stress on CPs on the construction site, especially in the context of the widespread use of social media to express their emotions.Design/methodology/approachThis study developed a job-related stress-burnout-health conditions-turnover intention (S-B-HT) framework to explore the direct and lagged effects of job stress, we also examined the moderating effects of online emotions, operationalized in terms of emotional intensity and expression pattern, on the relationship between job stress with job burnout under two evolution paths (i.e. health conditions or turnover intention). This study collected 271 samples through a survey questionnaire for empirical testing, and introduced structural equation models to validate the proposed conceptual model.FindingsThe results show that job stress has a significant positive effect on job burnout, and job burnout maintains a positive relationship with health conditions (or turnover intention) under the interference mechanism. Simultaneously, the online emotions expressed in social media have a positive moderating effect in two stages of the evolution path.Practical implicationsThe findings of this study remind the project manager need to timely find and solve the job burnout characteristics of CPs due to excessive job stress, especially to prevent the accidental consequences caused by job burnout.Originality/valueOn this basis, this study provides an important value of using social media to express emotions for the project team to alleviate the adverse of professionals under job stress.
How self-verification striving affects creative performance: the moderating effect of authentic leadership and the mediating effect of taking charge
Authors: Chen Guoqing , Wei Jun 
Published: June 2023

PurposeThe extant literature on self-verification striving has primarily focused on employee recruitment and positive organizational outcomes, but there is insufficient research on its influence mechanism and boundary conditions. With taking charge as the mediating variable and authentic leadership as the moderating variable, this study aims to explore the relationship between self-verification striving and creative performance.Design/methodology/approachThe authors collected 358 questionnaires from China. Linear regression was used to explore the influence mechanism and boundary conditions. Groups were classified by latent profile analysis, and differences among different groups were compared.FindingsFirst, self-verification striving was significantly positively correlated with creative performance, and taking charge played a significant mediating role between them. Second, authentic leadership significantly positively moderated the relationship between self-verification striving and taking charge. Third, based on the willingness and action of self-verification striving, it was found that the taking charge and creative performance of the double high group was significantly higher than the high-medium group, while the double low group was significantly lower than the high-medium group.Originality/valueFirst, this study makes up for the lack of influencing mechanism and inconsistency of research results between self-verification striving and employee outcomes. Second, the moderating effect of authentic leadership was proposed and verified, which enriched the universality of self-verification theory in Chinese context. Third, we found the differences in behaviors and outcomes among different groups, verified the uniqueness of self-verification striving in the Chinese context. It helps to explore the deep relationships that cannot be revealed by variables alone.
The Negotiation between the Predominated Sacredness and Secular Popular Culture in Brunei Darussalam
Authors: Liu Yong 
Published: June 2023

In retrospectives on Brunei’s first feature film Gema Dari Menara (1968), commentators have tended to focus on either its historical representation of Brunei’s booming post-curfew years in the late 1960s as ‘a time capsule of Brunei’s lost pop history’, or the film’s propagandistic nature for Da’wah (religious propagation). In this paper, however, I will concentrate my observations on the aesthetic values of the film itself, including the narrative structure, plot design, camerawork, characterisation and character relationships, as well as the resulting artistic effects manifested by these production elements as a whole.
Putting all the propagandistic elements aside, I would like to argue that Gema Dari Menara, as a family melodrama, is carefully constructed and propelled by the above-mentioned filmmaking techniques. The drama not only tells the story of an intense familial conflict revolving around the theme of faith rooted in the Bruneian tradition, it also implies the necessity of an internal negotiation between the predominant Islamic ideology and the increasingly secularised Bruneian civil society at the time. While the implied negotiation may have been unintended or subconscious in the original making of the film, it is well-balanced and reflective of the political and social reality of Brunei as a British Protectorate in the late 1960s, foreshadowing the current coexistent status quo of the dominance and sacredness of MIB and the secular popular culture in Brunei.

Data sources consisted of anecdotal field notes and artifacts from 12 professional learning sessions. Using a constant comparative method, the authors applied an inductive thematic analysis to identify salient themes across data related to teacher wonderings and identified goals.FindingsThe paper illuminates teachers' voices while highlighting information gleaned from participant wonderings, their identified goals and how this information informed the iterative development of future professional learning experiences within a district-university partnership.Research limitations/implicationsDue to the chosen research approaches and limited number of participants, the research results may lack generalizability.Originality/valueThis paper provides original insight into collaborative development of recursive professional learning experiences within partnership spaces.
Benefitting from Acquisition Experience During Integration: The Moderating Effect of Strategic M&A Intent
Authors: Felker Yves‐Martin , Bauer Florian , Friesl Martin , King David R. 
Published: June 2023

AbstractResearch suggests that M&A performance improves through routinization and/or codified experience. Traditionally, acquisition research has drawn a direct link between the two knowledge accumulation mechanisms and acquisition performance. Yet, how lessons learned are captured and applied in subsequent events remains largely unanswered. We argue that routinization and codification may both result in standardized acquisition integration approaches that promise greater efficiency. Our results show that experience can be captured and applied through standardized acquisition integration approaches. Importantly, our findings show that a strategic M&A intent influences the relationships between routinization and codified experience, and standardized acquisition integration approaches. We find that a strong strategic M&A intent strengthens the relationship between codification and standardization, but it weakens the relationship between routinization and standardization. We test our hypotheses with a combination of primary survey and secondary data to offer managerial and research insights. By combining three pertinent M&A literature streams – acquisition experience, acquisition integration and acquisition intent – we shed light on the importance of organizational learning and strategic direction on acquisition performance.
Data error propagation in stacked bioclimatic envelope models

Published: June 2023

AbstractStacking is the process of overlaying inferred species potential distributions for multiple species based on outputs of bioclimatic envelope models (BEMs). The approach can be used to investigate patterns and processes of species richness. If data limitations on individual species distributions are inevitable, but how do they affect inferences of patterns and processes of species richness? We investigate the influence of different data sources on estimated species richness gradients in China. We fitted BEMs using species distributions data for 334 bird species obtained from (1) global range maps, (2) regional checklists, (3) museum records and surveys, and (4) citizen science data using presence‐only (Mahalanobis distance), presence‐background (MAXENT), and presence–absence (GAM and BRT) BEMs. Individual species predictions were stacked to generate species richness gradients. Here, we show that different data sources and BEMs can generate spatially varying gradients of species richness. The environmental predictors that best explained species distributions also differed between data sources. Models using citizen‐based data had the highest accuracy, whereas those using range data had the lowest accuracy. Potential richness patterns estimated by GAM and BRT models were robust to data uncertainty. When multiple data sets exist for the same region and taxa, we advise that explicit treatments of uncertainty, such as sensitivity analyses of the input data, should be conducted during the process of modeling.

AbstractObjectivesTo extend current published guidance regarding the management of major depression in clinical practice, by examining complex cases that reflect real‐world patients, and to integrate evidence and experience into recommendations.MethodsThe authors who contributed to recently published clinical practice guidelines were invited to identify important gaps in extant guidance. Drawing on clinical experience and shared knowledge, they then generated four fictional case studies to illustrate the real‐world complexities of managing mood disorders. The cases focussed specifically on issues that are not usually addressed in clinical practice guidelines.ResultsThe four cases are discussed in detail and each case is summarised using a life chart and accompanying information. The four cases reflect important real‐world challenges that clinicians face when managing mood disorders in day‐to‐day clinical practice. To partly standardise the presentation of each case and for ease of reference we provide a Time Line, History Box and Management Chart, along with a synopsis where relevant. Discussion and formulation of the cases illustrate how to manage the complexities of each case and provide one possible pathway to achieving functional recovery.ConclusionThese cases draw on the combined clinical experience of the authors and illustrate how to approach diagnostic decision‐making when treating major depressive disorder and having to contend with complex presentations. The cases are designed to stimulate discussion and provide a real‐world context for the formulation of mood disorders.

Published: June 2023

AbstractAcute myeloid leukaemia (AML) continues to have a poor prognosis, warranting new therapeutic strategies. The bone marrow (BM) microenvironment consists of niches that interact with not only normal haematopoietic stem cells (HSC) but also leukaemia cells like AML. There are many adhesion molecules in the BM microenvironment; therein, integrins have been of central interest. AML cells express integrins that bind to ligands in the microenvironment, enabling adhesion of leukaemia cells in the microenvironment, thereby initiating intracellular signalling pathways that are associated with cell migration, cell proliferation, survival, and drug resistance that has been described to mediate cell adhesion‐mediated drug resistance (CAM‐DR). Identifying and targeting integrins in AML to interrupt interactions with the microenvironment have been pursued as a strategy to overcome CAM‐DR. Here, we focus on the BM microenvironment and review the role of integrins in CAM‐DR of AML and discuss integrin‐targeting strategies.LINKED ARTICLESThis article is part of a themed issue on Cancer Microenvironment and Pharmacological Interventions.

AbstractGastric cancer is a common cancer worldwide, particularly in East Asia. Chemotherapy is used in adjuvant or palliative therapies for gastric cancer. However, subsequent chemoresistance often develops. Growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) links to several cancers, but its effect on chemoresistance in gastric cancer remains unclear. Here, we analyzed clinical samples from genetic databases and included patients with gastric cancer. We dissected the regulatory mechanism underlying GDF15‐mediated resistance of cisplatin in human gastric cancer cells. We showed that GDF15 serum levels might be a valuable biomarker for predicting prognosis in gastric cancer. The expressions of GDF15 and its receptor glial cell‐derived neurotrophic factor family receptor a‐like (GFRAL) in gastric tumors are important for malignant progression. Moreover, GDF15 expression is increased in gastric cancer cells with cisplatin resistance, resulting from elevated intracellular glutathione (GSH) and antioxidant activities. Upregulated GDF15 could increase intracellular GSH content by activating the GFRAL‐GCN2‐eIF2α‐ATF4 signaling, enhancing cystine‐uptake transporter xCT expression, and contributing biosynthesis of GSH in human gastric cancer cells. In conclusion, our results indicate that GDF15 could induce chemoresistance by upregulating xCT expression and GSH biosynthesis in human gastric cancer cells. Targeting GDF15 could be a promising treatment method for gastric cancer progression.

AbstractIntroductionThe peri‐implant sulcus is a good niche for infectious colonization such as Candida spp. In this study, the level of Candida spp. fungal colonization is analyzed in patients with peri‐implantitis under supportive peri‐implant therapy, as well as its correlation with the main clinicopathological data.MethodsA case–control study was carried out on 161 patients treated with dental implants, 80 with PI and 81 without PI, which corresponded to 91 women and 70 men, whose mean age was 60.90 years. A specific protocol was completed for the clinical and implant data. Microbiological samples were taken by oral rinse and with paper tips from the peri‐implant sulcus. For the quantitative and qualitative analysis Candida Chromogenic Agar/CONDA plates were incubated for 72 h at 36 + 1°C. Fungal growth was considered active when having more than 50 CFU. Specific Candida spp. cultures were later confirmed by API ID 32C and PCR.ResultsFungal growth was achieved in 28% of oral rinse and 6.75% of peri‐implant fluid samples. No significant differences were recognized between study groups. Most of the cultures (>65%) showed more than 50 CFU. The most frequent species were Candida albicans and Candida parapsilosis. There was no association between different PI risk factors and fungal data. The presence of Candida spp. in the oral cavity of patients with dental implants was related to total edentulism and the use of implant‐fixed complete prosthesis implant‐retained removable prosthesis.ConclusionsThese results suggest that there is no link between PI and presence of Candida in patients with dental implants undergoing regular supportive periodontal therapy.
Aligning the logics of inquiry and action to address the biodiversity crisis
Authors: Gerber Leah R. , Barton Chris J. , Anderson Derrick M. 
Published: June 2023

AbstractDespite an abundance of research reaffirming biodiversity's importance to the health of the planet and society, species continue to go extinct at an alarming rate. Why has continued research on the value of biodiversity not had the intended effect and what can be done about it? We considered biodiversity loss as a public value failure and the result of a misalignment between the logic of inquiry (which guides scientists) and the logic of action (which guides practitioners). We drew lessons from our own research to propose the creation of a national biodiversity strategy designed to link the logic of inquiry with the logic of action and coordinate the production of actionable conservation science and informed conservation action.

AbstractComplex challenges posed by climate change, biodiversity loss, and global inequality may require intertwined solutions forged through the frame of “Nature and equity.” This timely frame responds to growing calls for conservation to deliver fair outcomes to people and offers strategic value for meeting environmental goals. To clarify how and why approaches that support nature and equity may emerge, this commentary draws on conservation efforts in five different social and political settings. Building on practitioner experiences in Australia, Chile, Kenya, Peru, and Solomon Islands, it identifies a set of equity instruments that recognize local environmental knowledge, rights, and practices, strengthen marginalized voices, and promote fair outcomes, and the enabling conditions that facilitate their use. The article concludes by discussing critical considerations for enhancing nature and equity.

Published: June 2023

AbstractWe investigated the Ruddlesden‐Popper series CaO(CaMnO3)m with m = 1, 2, 3, ∞, to study the impact of the varying amounts of CaO layers on their thermoelectric properties. Previous studies showed that highly dense samples are difficult to obtain due to the refractory nature of these materials. In this study, we managed to obtain dense pellets during a classical hot‐pressing step, if and only if the samples were subjected to extended ball‐milling prior to pressing, resulting in crystallite sizes of 30–35 nm after hot‐pressing. The sample with the largest amount of CaO layers (m = 1) had the lowest electrical and thermal conductivity, and the highest Seebeck coefficient, as predicted. Ultimately the perovskite CaMnO3 (m = ∞, no CaO layers) exhibited the best thermoelectric properties.
