Synchronizing innovation: unveiling the synergy of need-based and curiosity-based experimentation in AI technology adoption for libraries
Authors: Gupta Varun , Gupta Chetna 
Published: August 2023

Purpose
In the context of libraries adopting artificial intelligence (AI) technology, this paper aims to demonstrate the synergy between two different yet complimentary frameworks, need-based experimentation (NBE) and curiosity-based experimentation (CBE). It looks at how these frameworks interact and operate together to promote technological innovation and innovation in libraries.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors’ extensive professional experience in the AI adoption and innovation of libraries is drew upon in this paper. The methodology encompasses empirical observations of various libraries engaging in digital innovations through experimentations with AI technology adoption practices. Using the frameworks of NBE and CB), these observations are examined to find patterns, relationships and mutual reinforcement between the two methods. The analysis of this study is built on the authors’ observations and real-world case studies.

Findings
The research reveals that NBE and CBE work together to provide libraries with all-encompassing adoption methods for AI technology. This study indicates a dynamic interaction between NBE and CBE that boosts libraries’ methods for adopting AI technology. NBE acts as a catalyst for CBE by raising awareness of specific library needs, prompting librarians to explore AI technologies aligned with those needs. This synergy empowers librarians to creatively experiment with technology solutions that directly address pressing library challenges. Conversely, CBE fuels NBE by promoting group learning among diverse team members and fostering individual motivation to tackle library needs collaboratively. As they explore AI technology out of personal curiosity, librarians make important contributions that enhance NBE.

Originality/value
The novel aspect of this study is the recognition of the complementarity between NBE and CBE frameworks, which suggests that libraries should view them as intertwined rather than two separate approaches. Focusing on both methodologies increases the culture of experimentation and improves the problem-solving abilities of librarians. Innovation is fueled by controlled experimentation and innate curiosity in an atmosphere that is fostered by the mutual influence of NBE and CBE. This synthesis offers libraries a comprehensive strategy for adopting AI technology, empowering them to manage the shifting environment and realize the revolutionary promise of AI technologies.
Accounts and counter-accounts: accounting and accountability for asbestos-related liabilities

Published: August 2023

Purpose
This study aims to investigate disclosure of asbestos-related liabilities in corporate accounts and counter-accounts to examine whether and how accounting contributes to corporate accountability for asbestos-contaminated products.

Design/methodology/approach
This study uses the Goffmanesque perspective on impression management to examine instances of concealed asbestos-related liabilities in corporate accounts vis-à-vis the revealing of such liabilities in counter-accounts.

Findings
The findings show counter-accounts provide significant information on liabilities originating from the exposure of employees and consumers to asbestos. By contrast, the malleability of accounting tools enables companies to eschew accounting disclosures. While the frontstage positive performance of companies served an impression management role, their backstage concealing actions enabled companies to cover up asbestos-related liabilities. These companies used three categories of mechanisms to avoid disclosure of asbestos-related liabilities: concealing via a “cloak of competence”, impression management via epistemic work and a silent strategy of concealment frontstage with strategic reorganisation backstage.

Practical implications
This study has policy relevance as regulators need to consider the limits of corporate disclosures as an accountability tool. The findings may also initiate academic and practitioner conversations about accounting standards for long-term liabilities.

Originality/value
This study highlights the strategies companies use both frontstage and backstage to avoid disclosing asbestos-related liabilities. Through analysis of accounts and counter-accounts, this study identifies the limits of accounting as an accountability tool regarding asbestos-induced diseases and deaths.
The 3D photogrammetry approach of tiny model using the rotative scanning
Authors: Fawzy Hossam El-Din , Badawy Maher , Farhan Magda 
Published: August 2023

Purpose
This paper aims to discuss the scanning methodology depending on the close-range photogrammetry technique, which is appropriate for the precise three-dimensional (3D) modelling of objects in millimetres, such as the dimensions and structures in sub-millimetre scale.

Design/methodology/approach
The camera was adjusted to be tilted around the horizontal axis, while coded dot targets were used to calibrate the digital camera. The experiment was repeated with different rotation angles (5°, 10°, 15°, 20°, 25°, 30°, 50° and 60°). The images were processed with the PhotoModeler software to create the 3D model of the sample and estimate its dimensions. The features of the sample were measured using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, which has been considered as a reference and the comparative dimensions.

Findings
The results from the current study concluded that changing the rotation angle does not significantly affect the results, unless the angle of imagery is large which prevent achieving about 20: 30% overlap between the images but, the more angle decreases, the more number of images increase as well as the processing duration in the programme.

Originality/value
Develop an automatic appropriate for the precise 3D modelling of objects in millimetres, such as the dimensions and structures in sub-millimetre scale using photogrammetry.
Money matters: consumption variability across the income distribution
Authors: Fisher Jonathan , Hardy Bradley L. 
Published: August 2023

AbstractUsing the Consumer Expenditure Survey, we document the level and variability of quarterly consumption across the socio‐economic distribution. While the measurement of well‐being is focused on income, the secular and policy discourse prioritises income‐adequacy to meet family needs. This concern over income‐adequacy centres on the capacity of families to predictably consume minimally acceptable levels of basic needs, and the social and economic mobility consequences of low consumption. Our results show a clear socio‐economic and demographic gradient of lower consumption amid higher consumption variability for disadvantaged groups. Food, entertainment, and personal care goods and services exhibit relatively high levels of consumption variability among low‐income households.

AbstractBackgroundMolecular genetics serve a critical role in constructing risk stratification for hematological malignancies, but T‐cell lymphoma (TCL) still lacks molecular genetic information for supplement risk stratification in predicting the prognosis of TCL patients. In the present study, we characterized the mutation patterns of B‐cell leukemia/lymphoma 11B gene (BCL11B) and its prognostic importance in TCL patients.MethodsBCL11B mutations were characterized based on the data from two datasets, one is from our clinical center (GDPH dataset, n = 79) and the other is from COSMIC dataset (n = 154).ResultsThe overall mutation rate of BCL11B was 6.4% (15/233) in TCL, and there were no hotspot mutation sites in TCL. Among these mutations, the missense and splice site mutation were significantly prominent. Moreover, TCL patients harboring BCL11B mutations had a favorable overall survival (OS) in our center (GDPH dataset) (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] = .001, p = 0.109), although there were not yet significantly statistical at this point. In addition, TCL patients harboring BCL11B mutation had a longer 5‐year restricted mean survival time (RMST) than those without a BCL11B mutation (60 vs. 32 months). Notably, BCL11B mutations were not associated with TCL entities having better prognosis.ConclusionsBCL11B mutations were associated with favorable clinical outcome for TCL patients; it might be considered as a novel biomarker for TCL prognostic stratification.

AbstractBackgroundsOncological outcomes of the robotic low anterior rectal resection with total mesorectal excision (TME) are still under discussion. Few studies have proven that robotic TME (rTME) is a safe and equivalent method for treatment of rectal carcinoma. But there is almost no comparison between the rTME and conventional TME in terms of the number of lymph nodes obtained and the quality of the TME.MethodsA single institution retrospective study was designed in a cohort of 261 patients. Cohort was divided into two groups depending on the type of surgery (rTME versus TME) and within these two groups, patients were divided according to whether they underwent neoadjuvant chemoradiation (nCHRT) or did not. The primary objective of the study was to compare obtained number of the lymph nodes in specimen. Secondary objectives were comparison of the quality of the TME and the number of positive circumferential resection margins.ResultsResults of the study have shown no significant difference in number of the lymph nodes obtained by the rTME and TME. There was no difference in the quality of the TME, neither in the group with the previous nCHRT nor in the group without a nCHRT.ConclusionWith results from the study we consider the rTME to be non‐inferior to the conventional TME. Therefore, at least identical oncological results can be expected in patients treated by the rTME.

AbstractObjectivesCompassion‐focused therapy (CFT) is an evolution‐informed biopsychosocial approach that seeks to cultivate attachment and care motivational systems and their psychophysiological regulators. These can counteract some of the harmful effects of social threat, inferiority, shame, self‐criticism and depression, which are common in people with psychosis and undermine their well‐being, social trust and ability to feel safe. This study aimed to test the acceptability of a novel manualized individual CFT intervention for psychosis (CFTp).DesignA non‐concurrent, multiple‐baseline, case series design, with three phases: baseline, intervention and follow‐up.MethodsThe 26‐session CFTp intervention was provided for a sample of eight people with distressing psychotic experiences and a psychosis‐related diagnosis. The study aimed to assess acceptability of CFTp and to test clinically reliable improvements while receiving the intervention, compared to a baseline period.ResultsSeven of eight participants completed the therapy, and clinically reliable improvements were found at both the single‐case and group level of analysis. At the single‐case level, over half the participants showed improvements in depression (5/7), stress (5/7), distress (5/7), anxiety (4/7) and voices (3/5). One participant showed a deterioration in anxiety (1/7) and dissociation (1/7). At the group level (n = 7), there were significant improvements in depression, stress, distress, voices and delusions. The improvements in voices, delusions and distress were sustained at 6‐ to 8‐week follow‐up, but depression and stress dropped slightly to trend‐level improvements.ConclusionsCFTp is a feasible and acceptable intervention for psychosis, and further investigation is warranted with a randomized controlled trial.
Capturing wild animal welfare: a physiological perspective
Authors: Beaulieu Michaël 
Published: August 2023

ABSTRACTAffective states, such as emotions, are presumably widespread across the animal kingdom because of the adaptive advantages they are supposed to confer. However, the study of the affective states of animals has thus far been largely restricted to enhancing the welfare of animals managed by humans in non‐natural contexts. Given the diversity of wild animals and the variable conditions they can experience, extending studies on animal affective states to the natural conditions that most animals experience will allow us to broaden and deepen our general understanding of animal welfare. Yet, this same diversity makes examining animal welfare in the wild highly challenging. There is therefore a need for unifying theoretical frameworks and methodological approaches that can guide researchers keen to engage in this promising research area. The aim of this article is to help advance this important research area by highlighting the central relationship between physiology and animal welfare and rectify its apparent oversight, as revealed by the current scientific literature on wild animals. Moreover, this article emphasises the advantages of including physiological markers to assess animal welfare in the wild (e.g. objectivity, comparability, condition range, temporality), as well as their concomitant limitations (e.g. only access to peripheral physiological markers with complex relationships with affective states). Best‐practice recommendations (e.g. replication and multifactorial approaches) are also provided to allow physiological markers to be used most effectively and appropriately when assessing the welfare of animals in their natural habitat. This review seeks to provide the foundation for a new and distinct research area with a vast theoretical and applied potential: wild animal welfare physiology.
Visual Form and Event Semantics Predict Transitivity in Silent Gestures: Evidence for Compositionality
Authors: Bradley Chuck , Wilbur Ronnie 
Published: August 2023

AbstractSilent gesture is not considered to be linguistic, on par with spoken and sign languages. It is claimed that silent gestures, unlike language, represent events holistically, without compositional structure. However, recent research has demonstrated that gesturers use consistent strategies when representing objects and events, and that there are behavioral and clinically relevant limits on what form a gesture may take to effect a particular meaning. This systematicity challenges a holistic interpretation of silent gesture, which predicts that there should be no stable form‐meaning correspondence across event representations. Here, we demonstrate to the contrary that untrained gesturers systematically manipulate the form of their gestures when representing events with and without a theme (e.g., Someone popped the balloon vs. Someone walked), that is, transitive and intransitive events. We elicited silent gestures and annotated them for manual features active in coding transitivity distinctions in sign languages. We trained linear support vector machines to make item‐by‐item transitivity predictions based on these features. Prediction accuracy was good across the entire dataset, thus demonstrating that systematicity in silent gesture can be explained with recourse to subunits. We argue that handshape features are constructs co‐opted from cognitive systems subserving manual action production and comprehension for communicative purposes, which may integrate into the linguistic system of emerging sign languages. We further suggest that nonsigners tend to map event participants to each hand, a strategy found across genetically and geographically distinct sign languages, suggesting the strategy's cognitive foundation.
The legacy of voluntarism: Charitable funding in the early NHS
Authors: Harris Bernard , Cresswell Rosemary 
Published: August 2023

AbstractBefore 1948, approximately one‐third of the United Kingdom (UK)’s hospital beds were located in voluntary hospitals, many of which continued to benefit from the funds generated by their historic endowments. When the National Health Service (NHS) was created, the vast majority of these hospitals were taken over by the State. This paper examines the neglected question of what happened to these endowments and the role which charity continued to play in the funding of NHS hospitals more generally. It makes an explicit attempt to examine the development of hospital services in each of the UK's constituent nations and shows how the treatment of endowments and the role of charity differed between them. It also highlights the continuing importance of arguments over the ‘boundaries’ between ‘essential’ and ‘non‐essential’ forms of health service expenditure, and between the roles of the statutory and voluntary sectors more generally.
What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas? Firsthand experience and EDGAR search activity in Las Vegas casino hotels

Published: August 2023

AbstractWhat role does investors’ firsthand experience have in stock selection, and does this firsthand experience lead to better investment outcomes? Using a unique data set containing the stock research activities of patrons of Las Vegas casino hotels, we find evidence that investors’ firsthand experience motivates interest in Vegas‐related travel industry stocks. Additionally, their interest in these stocks predicts strong performance; Vegas interest leads to positive abnormal returns of up to 3.7% (0.4%) over the following year (month), and abnormal returns are highest in industries that are related to Las Vegas.
Cover crops do not increase soil organic carbon stocks as much as has been claimed: What is the way forward?
Authors: Chaplot Vincent , Smith Pete 
Published: August 2023

AbstractWhen compared to virgin land (forest and grassland), croplands store significantly lower amounts of organic carbon (OC), mainly as a result of soil tillage, and decreased plant inputs to the soil over the whole year. Doubts have been expressed over how much reduced and zero tillage agriculture can increase OC in soils when the whole soil profile is considered. Consequently, cover‐crops that are grown in‐between crops instead of leaving soils bare appear as the “last man standing” in our quest to enhance cropland OC stocks. Despite the claim by numerous meta‐analyses of a mean carbon sequestration rate by cover crops to be as high as 0.32 ± 0.08 ton C ha−1  year−1, the present analysis showed that all of the 37 existing field studies worldwide only sampled to a depth of 30 cm or less and did not compare treatments on the basis of equivalent soil mass. Thirteen studies presented information on OC content only and not on OC stocks, had inappropriate controls (n = 14), had durations of 3 years or lower (n = 5), considered only one to two data points per treatment (n = 4), or used cover crops as cash crops (i.e., grown longer that in‐between two crops) instead of catch crops (n = 2), which in all cases constitutes shortcomings. Of the remaining six trials, four showed non‐significant trends, one study displayed a negative impact of cover crops, and one study displayed a positive impact, resulting in a mean OC storage of 0.03 ton ha−1 year−1. Models and policies should urgently adapt to such new figure. Finally, more is to be done not only to improve the design of cover‐crop studies for reaching sound conclusions but also to understand the underlying reasons of the low efficiency of cover crops for improved carbon sequestration into soils, with possible strategies being suggested.

ObjectiveThe objective of the study was to investigate whether the association between binge drinking and oral health‐related quality of life (OHRQoL) differs by socioeconomic position (SEP) in Brazilian older adults.BackgroundThe adverse health effects of alcohol consumption disproportionately affect socioeconomically disadvantaged and older individuals. Moreover, measures of binge drinking may capture different domains of the association between alcohol misuse and health that might be independent of the traditional markers of volume or frequency of consumption. Evidence of the association between alcohol use and oral health outcomes has failed to consider binge drinking and possible effect modification by SEP.MethodsWe conducted a secondary cross‐sectional analysis using the baseline data from The Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Ageing (2015‐2016). Effect Measure Modification analyses using multivariable Poisson regression models tested whether the association between past‐month binge drinking and higher scores of the Oral Impacts on Daily Performance (OIDP) questionnaire differed in magnitude by level of household wealth and educational attainment, assessed using Relative Excess Risk due to Interaction (RERI) and simple slope test.ResultsThe analytical sample comprised 8857 individuals. Participants who were from low‐wealth households or with lower education and reported past‐month binge drinking had 27% (95% CI: 1.16 to 1.39) and 28% (95% CI: 1.18 to 1.40) higher OIDP scores, respectively, than those not binge drinkers from higher SEP, and super‐additive associations were detected (RERI for household wealth: 0.12; RERI for educational attainment: 0.14).ConclusionBinge drinkers from low SEP have poorer OHRQoL. Public oral health initiatives aiming to combat binge drinking are likely to disproportionately benefit vulnerable groups.

AbstractIntroductionAcquired haemophilia A (AHA) is a rare bleeding disorder characterized by autoantibodies against coagulation factor VIII (FVIII). Estimates of AHA incidence are largely based on registry data, which may be prone to referral bias. Population‐based studies can enhance our understanding of the epidemiology, presentation and outcomes of AHA.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective, population‐based cohort study of all AHA diagnosed and treated in Manitoba, Canada over a 15‐year period. Using records from the sole provincial reference laboratory, we identified all patients with FVIII inhibitors who did not have congenital haemophilia. Using a piloted case report form, patient data was ascertained from hospital and bleeding disorder clinic records.ResultsFrom 2006 to 2021, we identified 34 patients with AHA, corresponding to a population‐based incidence rate of AHA of 1.78 cases per million per year. The median age at presentation was 76 years and most cases were idiopathic (79%). Almost all patients (97%) presented with bleeding, of which 58% were considered major bleeds and required haemostatic agents in 67%. Longstanding unexplained bleeding symptoms were commonly reported, suggesting delayed diagnosis. Immunosuppressive therapy (IST) was administered in 88% of patients. Remission was achieved in 79% of patients; median time to remission was 2.1 months. There were two deaths due to bleeding. No deaths due to IST were reported.ConclusionThe population‐based incidence of AHA in Manitoba is 1.78 cases/million/year. Bleeding is common and can be life‐threatening. AHA outcomes are encouraging with the use of haemostatic agents and IST. Serious treatment‐associated morbidity and mortality is uncommon.
