Exploring the relationship between psychopathy and criminal thinking: utilising the Tri-PM within a forensic sample
Authors: DeBlasio Shannon , Mojtahedi Dara 
Published: December 2022

PurposeThe Triarchic Psychopathy Measure (Tri-PM) was developed in 2010 as an alternative approach to the assessment of psychopathy. The measure aims to capture psychopathic traits on a 3-factor model, which encompass the characteristics established in previous measures, as well as those evidenced within practise. Though support for the tool in academic research is growing, less is known about the scale’s utility within crime forensic settings. Thus, this study aims to explore the relationship between the Tri-PM psychopathy constructs and criminal cognition within a forensic sample.Design/methodology/approachSeventy-three adult male offenders, convicted for acquisitive or sexual crimes, from a Category B prison within the Northwest of England completed questionnaires measuring their criminal backgrounds, psychopathy traits (Tri-PM; Patrick, 2010) and criminal thinking styles (Psychology Inventory of Criminal Thinking Styles; Walters, 2001).FindingsThe Tri-PM measurement proved to be a successful predictor of most criminal thinking styles. Moreover, the meanness construct was the strongest predictor of proactive thinking styles, whereas the disinhibition construct was the strongest predictor of reactive thinking styles, and the boldness construct was negatively associated with reactive thinking. Comparisons among offender groups also indicated that acquisitive offenders reported higher scores of psychopathy and criminal thinking.Originality/valueThis study offers valuable insight into the proposed relationship between psychopathy and criminal thinking, using a recent addition to the repertoire of psychopathy measurements, the Tri-PM. This study also offers practical implications for those offering treatment within forensic settings, with significant relationships identified between the highly scoring psychopathy constructs and various criminal thinking styles.

An interpretive approach is used to understand the underlying phenomenon.FindingsThe analysis of the case illustrates how the three major aspects of the network, i.e. content, governance and structure, manifest from the supplier and the customers’ side and how do the same change during a crisis and may help the entrepreneur to overcome the crisis.Research limitations/implicationsThe present study contributes to the theory of “network success hypotheses of entrepreneurship theory” by offering a manifestation of the same during a crisis faced by the entire network of the entrepreneur.Practical implicationsThe findings provide insights on how an entrepreneur can use innovative ways of rethinking of the strategies during a crisis without compromising on the basic philosophy of the company.Originality/valueThe present study is one of a kind to identify the interplay between the entrepreneurial networks both from the customer and supplier sides of the firm during a crisis.
Consolidated financial statement information and group reporting in the central government: a user-oriented approach
Authors: Oulasvirta Lasse Olavi 
Published: December 2022

PurposeThis study aims to fill the research gap regarding the usability of group reporting information in the central government. It answers the question of how the consolidated information should be formed to benefit the real needs of governmental information users.Design/methodology/approachThe empirical research is based on a survey and interviews among key internal preparers and users in the central government sector in the case country, Finland.FindingsResults show that the private sector approach regarding consolidation is not appropriately transferable to the central government sector. The key stakeholders identified several economic and financial reporting needs that exceed what formal Consolidated Financial Statement (CFS) can offer. Consolidation is needed but not according to the extensive full control approach, but rather following the budgetary approach consolidating units of the legal person of the government, and further using the partial control approach for consolidating by discretion essential special purpose SOEs.Research limitations/implicationsRespondents and interviewees represented governmental internal organisations, free experts, auditors and financial managers from the group entities. Politicians and citizens were not directly represented.Practical implicationsResearch gives applicable insights into central governments planning and developing group reporting for information needs in a favourable cost-benefit ratio. Findings benefit the development of EU's EPSAS (European Public Sector Accounting Standards) project which is still incomplete.Social implicationsResearch recommends governments to make a thorough analysis before deciding on a new financial reporting system. A critical analysis prevents governments to waste money and resources on a reporting system not fulfilling the real needs of information users.Originality/valueThe value of this research is that the private sector approach in consolidation was not taken as granted. This study investigated critically and empirically the real need for consolidated information serving steering and overseeing purposes of the government's group entities.
Convective-radiative moving porous fin with temperature-dependent thermal conductivity, heat transfer coefficient and wavelength-dependent surface emissivity
Authors: Kaur Parvinder , Singh Surjan 
Published: December 2022

PurposeIn this paper, temperature distribution and fin efficiency in a moving porous fin have been discussed. The heat transfer equation is formulated by using Darcy's model. Heat transfer coefficient and thermal conductivity vary with temperature. The surface emissivity of the fin varies with temperature as well as with wavelength. Thermal conductivity is taken as a linear and quadratic form of temperature. The entire analysis of the paper is presented in non-dimensional form.Design/methodology/approachIn this study, a new mathematical model is investigated. The novelty of this model is surface emissivity which is considered temperature and wavelength dependent. Another interesting point is the addition of porous material. The Legendre wavelet collocation method has been used to solve the nonlinear heat transfer equation. Numerical simulations are carried out in MATLAB software.FindingsAn attempt has been made to discuss temperature distribution in the presence of porosity and wavelength-temperature-dependent surface emissivity. The effect of various parameters on temperature has been discussed, including thermal conductivity, emissivity, convection-radiation, Peclet number, sink temperature, exponent “n” and porosity. Fin efficiency is also calculated for some parameters. According to the study, heat transfer rate increases with higher radiation-convection, emissivity, wavelength and porosity parameters.Originality/valueThe numerical results are carried out by using the Legendre wavelet collocation method, which has been compared with exact results in a particular case and found to be in good agreement. The percent error is calculated to find the error between the current method and the exact result. A comparison of the obtained results with the previous data is presented to validate the numerical results.

Published: December 2022

PurposeThis study seeks to understand the connection of methodology by finding relevant papers and their full review using the “Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses” (PRISMA).Design/methodology/approachConcrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) columns have gained popularity in construction in recent decades as they offer the benefit of constituent materials and cost-effectiveness. Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), Support Vector Machines (SVMs), Gene Expression Programming (GEP) and Decision Trees (DTs) are some of the approaches that have been widely used in recent decades in structural engineering to construct predictive models, resulting in effective and accurate decision making. Despite the fact that there are numerous research studies on the various parameters that influence the axial compression capacity (ACC) of CFST columns, there is no systematic review of these Machine Learning methods.FindingsThe implications of a variety of structural characteristics on machine learning performance parameters are addressed and reviewed. The comparison analysis of current design codes and machine learning tools to predict the performance of CFST columns is summarized. The discussion results indicate that machine learning tools better understand complex datasets and intricate testing designs.Originality/valueThis study examines machine learning techniques for forecasting the axial bearing capacity of concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) columns. This paper also highlights the drawbacks of utilizing existing techniques to build CFST columns, and the benefits of Machine Learning approaches over them. This article attempts to introduce beginners and experienced professionals to various research trajectories.

Published: December 2022

AbstractErythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP) patients experience severe burning pain after light exposure, which results in a markedly reduced quality of life. However, there is limited information on the psychosocial aspects of EPP. To investigate the clinical features and social aspects of living with EPP, before and during afamelanotide treatment in the Netherlands. A single‐center prospective longitudinal study of adult patients with EPP attending the Erasmus MC Rotterdam. Patients completed questionnaires, comprising demographic, clinical and social details, including two generic (DS‐14 and SF‐36) and a disease specific (EPP‐QoL) QoL questionnaires. 121 adult EPP patients were included. The educational level of EPP patients seemed higher compared to the Dutch population (36% vs. 30% high‐education, 42% vs. 37% middle‐education). At baseline 5% of the EPP patients were unemployed, none were unemployed during afamelanotide treatment. Full‐ and part‐time employment rate increased from 59.5% to 69.9% on afamelanotide treatment (p > 0.05). EPP‐QoL improved from 44% to 75% on afamelanotide treatment (p < 0.001). Type‐D personality was present in 27.4% of patients; their social inhibition scores improved significantly on afamelanotide treatment (p = 0.019). EPP patients scored low on the social functioning domain (SF‐36) compared to the Dutch population (74.4 ± 27.3 vs. 84.0 ± 22.4; respectively), and improved during afamelanotide treatment (84.3 ± 20.9, p = 0.001). EPP has a significant negative impact on social aspects, with less employment despite a higher education level. Afamelanotide treatment improves quality of life, social functioning and possibly employment rate. It is important to recognize the impact of EPP on social life, although, more research is needed.

AbstractIntroductionWe evaluated the effect of intradialytic concurrent (resistance‐endurance) training combined with melatonin (MEL) supplementation on functional capacity, muscle strength, postural balance, and quality of life (QoL) in hemodialysis (HD) patients.MethodsThirty‐three HD patients were randomized into three groups: Exercise (EX)‐MEL (n = 11); EX‐Placebo (PLA) (n = 11) and Control (C)‐PLA (n = 11). Participants included in the EX‐MEL and EX‐PLA groups were submitted to concurrent training for 12 weeks.ResultsEX‐MEL and EX‐PLA improved functional capacity, muscle strength, QoL, and postural balance parameters in eyes open and eyes closed conditions. Parameters of postural balance in the dual task condition were improved only in EX‐MEL. EX‐MEL induced better results in some domains of QoL compared with EX‐PLA.ConclusionIntradialytic concurrent training induced beneficial effects on physical function, muscle strength, postural balance, and QoL in HD patients. MEL supplementation combined with intradialytic exercise lead to better improvements in postural balance and QoL.

Published: December 2022

AbstractTo increase farm income and food security, a collaboration was made with smallholder women farmers in Kaffrine, Senegal to develop a culturally acceptable peanut nutrition bar using healthy indigenous and local ingredients and feasible manufacturing methods. This study aimed to use response surface methodology to optimize the bar's formulation and characterize the texture, nutrient profile, sensory qualities, and water activity. The bars were made by varying the ratio of cowpea flour to corn flour (w/w, d.b., 0/100, 25/75, 50/50, 75/25, and 100/0) and the percentage of baobab pulp powder in the cowpea–corn flour blend (w/w, d.b., 15%, 20%, 25%, and 30%) with a fixed amount of 13 g of peanut paste added to all formulations. The use of acacia gum as a binder increased the bars’ cohesiveness. Increasing the ratio of cowpea flour to corn flour decreased the cohesiveness and increased protein, fiber, calcium, iron, and folate levels of the bars. Increasing the percentage of baobab pulp powder increased the hardness, fiber, and vitamin C levels, and decreased cohesiveness and water activity of the bars. The bar formulation optimized for sensory acceptance had a cowpea to corn ratio of 85.3:14.7, a baobab level of 9.95%, and 13 g of peanut paste. According to the research, the optimum formulation gave 38%, 32%, 36%, 50%, 11%, and 83% of the recommended dietary allowance of protein, fiber, calcium, iron, vitamin C, and folate, respectively, per serving for school‐age children and featured culturally acceptable texture and desirable water activity for commercialization. This study provided critical foundations for the subsequent feasibility assessment of a commercial launch, projected to significantly increase the revenue and nutrient intake of the partnering communities.Practical ApplicationThe commercialization of the peanut nutrition bar will serve as a source of new income for Senegalese smallholder women farmers, provide essential nutrients for school‐age children and potentially reduce post‐harvest loss. Response surface methodology used in this study can also be applied to food product development with indigenous communities to develop an accepted and community‐feasible product formulation.
Curcumin‐infused xerogel‐based nutraceutical development and its 4D shape‐shifting behavior
Authors: Cheeyattil Subith , Rajan Anbarasan , Radhakrishnan Mahendran 
Published: December 2022

AbstractCereal‐based functional foods with shape‐changing (four‐dimensional [4D]) properties is a novel approach in the current scenario. The main objective of the research is to develop a bioactive compound incorporated in flat two‐dimensional xerogel and its hydromorphic three‐dimensional shape transformation. The spray‐dried curcumin at three different concentrations was incorporated with hydrogel (wheat–barley flour 8%), and flat xerogel was formed by sessile drop drying at 30°C and 78% relative humidity. The top smooth and rough bottom surface of xerogel provided anisotropic swelling properties during the shape transformation. The antimicrobial and antioxidant properties of xerogel were examined, and the retention of curcumin during the shape transformation was also examined during the research. The porous structure of barley–wheat xerogel has enhanced the incorporation of water‐insoluble bioactive components like curcumin. The diffusion properties of curcumin xerogel provided an antimicrobial effect against gram‐negative pathogenic bacteria. The optimum temperature (70°C) during the shape‐shifting provides the retention of bioavailability and functional properties of curcumin. The work describes the opportunities for developing xerogel incorporated with more bioactive and functional components and study its stability and hydromorphic 4D shape‐changing behavior.Practical ApplicationXerogel is a good carrier for different bioactive components. The development of curcumin‐infused biodegrade, non‐toxic, and cereal‐based xerogel provide an excellent opportunity for the delivery of curcumin in a cost‐effective way. The shape‐changing easily consumable forms of xerogel will attract more consumers, and it retains the bioavailability of infused compounds during processing.
On the manipulation, and meaning(s), of color in food: A historical perspective
Authors: Spence Charles 
Published: December 2022

AbstractWhile there has long been public concern over the use of artificial/synthetic food colors, it should be remembered that food and drink products (e.g., red wine) have been purposefully colored for millennia. This narrative historical review highlights a number of reasons that food and drink have been colored, including to capture the shopper's visual attention through to signaling the likely taste/flavor. Over the course of the last century, there has, on occasion, also been interest in the playful, or sometimes even deliberately discombobulating, use of food coloring by modernist chefs and others. The coloring (or absence of color) of food and drink can, though, sometimes also take on more of a symbolic meaning, and, in a few cases, specific food colors may acquire a signature, or branded (i.e., semantic) association. That said, with food color being associated with so many different potential “meanings,” it is an open question as to which meaning the consumer will associate with any given instance of color in food, and what role context may play in their decision. Laboratory‐based sensory science research may not necessarily successfully capture the full range of meanings that may be associated with food color in the mind of the consumer. Nevertheless, it seems likely that food color will continue to play an important role in dictating consumer behavior in the years to come, even though the visual appearance of food is increasingly being mediated via technological means, including virtual and augmented reality.

AbstractBronchiolar adenoma (BA)/ciliated muconodular papillary tumor (CMPT) is defined as a benign tumor composed of epithelial and basal cells. Recently, some cases with driver mutations or malignant transformation have been observed. Thus, whether BA/CMPT is benign or malignant remains controversial. We herein report an extremely rare case of a 68‐year‐old woman with a CMPT accompanied by adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS). BA/CMPT existed inside the AIS. The BA/CMPT component did not show any driver mutations; however, the AIS component had an EGFR driver mutation in exon 19. The accumulation of cases and further studies are needed to discuss the malignant potential of BA/CMPT.
Tumor size, but not consolidation‐to‐tumor ratio, is an independent prognostic factor for part‐solid clinical T1 non‐small cell lung cancer

Published: December 2022

AbstractBackgroundTumor size and consolidation‐to‐tumor ratio (CTR) are crucial for non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) prognosis. However, the optimal CTR cutoff remains unclear. Whether tumor size and CTR are independent prognostic factors for part‐solid NSCLC is under debate. Here, we aimed to evaluate the prognostic impacts of CTR and tumor size on NSCLC, especially on part‐solid NSCLC.MethodsWe reviewed 1366 clinical T1 NSCLC patients who underwent surgical treatment. Log‐rank test and Cox regression analyses were adopted for prognostic evaluation. The “surv_cutpoint” function was used to identify the optimal CTR and tumor size cutoff values.ResultsThere were 416, 510, and 440 subjects with pure ground‐glass opacity (pGGO), part‐solid, and pure solid nodules. The 5‐year overall survival (disease‐free survival) for patients with pGGO, part‐solid, and pure solid nodules were 99.5% (99.5%), 97.3% (95.8%), and 90.4% (78.9%), respectively. Multivariate Cox regression analysis indicated that CTR was an independent prognostic factor for the whole patients, and the optimal CTR cutoff was 0.99. However, for part‐solid NSCLC, CTR was not independently associated with survival, even if categorized by the optimal cutoffs. The predicted optimal cutoffs of total tumor size and solid component size were 2.4 and 1.4 cm for part‐solid NSCLC. Total tumor size (HR = 6.21, 95% CI: 1.58–24.34, p = 0.009) and solid component size (HR = 2.27, 95% CI: 1.04–5.92, p = 0.045) grouped by the cutoffs were significantly associated with part‐solid NSCLC prognosis.ConclusionsCTR was an independent prognostic factor for the whole NSCLC, but not for the part‐solid NSCLC. Tumor size was still meaningful for part‐solid NSCLC.
