Multiple holistic case study of project-level building information modelling (BIM) adoption in Nigeria
Authors: Olugboyega Oluseye , Oseghale Godwin Ehis , Aigbavboa Clinton 
Published: March 2022

Purpose
This study aims to undertake a contextual analysis of project-level building information modelling (BIM) adoption in Nigeria and demonstrate how BIM is applied across different projects in Nigeria.

Design/methodology/approach
This research generates contextual and holistic understandings of multiple project-level cases of BIM adoption through an interpretive paradigm guided by relativist ontology and subjectivist epistemology. Two models of project-level BIM adoption (ten-factor theory of BIM adoption and strategic-contingent model of BIM adoption) were merged to formulate the BIM adoption assessment scale (BIM-AAS). A qualitative-oriented case study protocol was developed to extract valid and reliable data from external and internal project data based on BIM-AAS features. The extracted data were analysed using the pattern-matching technique and cross-case analysis.

Findings
The results indicate that there was substantial use of BIM tools and technologies in the projects. All the projects adopted collaborative procurement and team and developed integrated building information models. The use of BIM tools, technologies and processes in the projects was found to be above average. The complexities and expectations levels of the projects compliment the nature of BIM adoption in the projects.

Research limitations/implications
The BIM-AAS adopted in this research is an excellent example of a project-level BIM adoption analytical tool. It can be assumed in future research. Also, this research contributes to the theory that the level of project complexity and expectations must align with the level of BIM adoption in projects. The study’s findings ratify BIM tools, technologies and processes as the elements of project-level BIM adoption.

Practical implications
This research substantiates the actual nature and structure of BIM adoption in Nigeria, thereby simplifying the development of initiatives towards BIM adoption in projects and determining the appropriate strategies for BIM implementation and innovation in the Nigerian construction industry. The most important initiative that the Nigerian government can make to drive BIM implementation is the automating of code checking for building rules and regulations in Nigeria.

Originality/value
Previous studies have only reported cases of project-level BIM adoption using surveys and without a standardised project-level BIM adoption model to guide the analysis. This study is the first to formulate and use BIM adoption models for a uniform, critical and contextual analysis of project-level BIM adoption.

PurposeReportedly, green roof (GR) makes a significant contribution towards a truly sustainable-built environment; however, its implementation is yet to hit a sufficient level in developing countries. Thus, this study assesses GR implementation strategies in developing countries by providing a comparative analysis through experts in Kazakhstan, Malaysia and Turkey.Design/methodology/approachThe study adopts a four-step methodological approach to achieve the research aim: literature review, focus group discussion, fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (FAHP) analysis and correlation analyses. First, a literature review followed by a focus group discussion is used to determine 18 (out of 25 initially) strategies for the selected context and these are classified into three categories: governmental and institutional support, knowledge and information and policy and regulation. Afterward, the identified GR strategies are evaluated using the FAHP with the data gathered from the experts in the countries studied. Finally, correlation analyses were used to observe the strength of agreement between the assessments of experts from the included countries.FindingsThe findings indicate that financial incentives, low-cost government loans and subsidies and tax rebates are the essential strategies for the wider adoption of GR. Evaluating the policy and regulations strategies also showed that mandatory GR policies and regulations and better enforcement of the developed GR policies are ranked as the most prominent strategies. The findings show a low level of agreement among respondents from Kazakhstan, while there is a high level of agreement between the experts in Malaysia and Turkey.Research limitations/implicationsThe research contribution is twofold. First (research implication), the study identifies the strategies through a complete literature review. Second, the identified strategies are evaluated through the lenses of experts in three developing countries which are hoped to provide (practical contribution) a better understanding of the most effective strategies that require attention and enable the frontline stakeholders (particularly government authorities) to focus on them.Originality/valueThe study findings provide a good point of departure to explore the strategies for broader adoption of GRs in developing economic setting.
Firm-specific sentiment and individual option's implied volatility slope
Authors: Chen Bei , Gan Quan 
Published: March 2022

PurposePrevious literature shows that market sentiment and the steepness of index option's implied volatility slope have a negative relation. This paper investigates the relation between firm-specific sentiment and individual option's implied volatility slope both theoretically and empirically.Design/methodology/approachThe authors develop a simple model with option traders' sentiment heterogeneity to show that sentiment and the steepness of individual option's implied volatility slope have a positive relation.FindingsWhen firm-specific sentiment is higher (more bullish), individual option's implied volatility slope becomes steeper. The positive relation is stronger when option traders' beliefs on risk are more dispersed. Empirical results support the theoretical model predictions.Originality/valueAlthough both firm-specific sentiment and individual options implied volatility slope predict future stock returns, there is no research exploring the relation between them. In particular, none of previous studies associates implied volatility slope's stock return predictability to investor behavior such as sentiment. The authors’ findings provide a behavior-based explanation on why steep implied volatility slope negatively predicts cross-sectional stock returns.

AbstractBackgroundThere is a lack of clinically available predictive models for patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation positive, advanced non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with EGFR‐tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs).MethodsThe clinical data of patients at the Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences between from January 2016 to January 2021 were retrospectively retrieved as training set. The patients from BENEFIT trial were for the validation cohort. The nomogram was built based on independent predictors identified by univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses. The discrimination and calibration of the nomogram were evaluated by C‐index and calibration plots.ResultsA total of 502 patients with complete clinical data and follow‐up information were enrolled in this study. Five independent prognostic factors, including The Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status scale (ECOG PS), EGFR mutation subtype, EGFR co‐mutation, liver metastasis and malignant pleural effusion (p < 0.05). The C‐indexes of the nomogram were 0.694 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.663–0.725) for the training set and 0.653 (95% CI, 0.610–0.696) for the validation set. The calibration curves for the probabilities of 9‐, 12‐ and 18‐month progression‐free survival (PFS) revealed satisfactory consistency in both the internal and external validations. Additionally, the patients were divided into two groups according to risk (high‐risk, low‐risk), and significant differences in PFS were observed between the groups in the training and external validation cohorts (p < 0.001).ConclusionsWe constructed and validated a convenient nomogram that have the potential to become an accurate and reliable tool for patients with EGFR mutation positive, advanced NSCLC to individually predict their potential benefits from EGFR‐TKIs, and facilitate clinical decision‐making.
Monitoring sitatunga (Tragelaphus spekii) populations using camera traps

Published: March 2022

AbstractPopulation densities are an important consideration for wildlife management. For hunted species, estimates of population size are essential for establishing quotas. There are limited data regarding sitatunga (Tragelaphus spekii) abundance, and few studies have used camera traps for estimating population densities. We estimated sitatunga density in the Mayanja River area of central Uganda using the time in front of the camera (TIFC) method, which yields population density estimates using camera‐trap data without having to identify each individual. Density estimates from the TIFC method averaged 11.1 sitatunga/km2, similar to estimates from a spatially explicit capture–recapture (SECR) study, which requires perfect identification of individuals. These results suggest that TIFC methods accurately estimate population densities and might be an alternative for species where individual identity cannot be determined, or in habitats where typically identifiable species might not be accurately identified to meet the requirements of SECR. In addition, the resulting density estimates can influence management decisions and quotas for hunting.

Published: March 2022

AbstractBackgroundThere is still a search for a standard method of therapy for high anal fistulas. The aim of this trial was a comparison between a modified two stage minimally invasive procedure, consisting of loose‐seton placement with the subsequent application of platelet rich plasma with mucosal advancement flap for the treatment of high transsphincteric anal fistulas of crypto‐glandular origin.MethodsThe study was designed as a prospective, randomized trial including 96 patients. Curettage of fistulous tracts, and loose‐seton placement was performed in those patients with active inflammation, and if the diameter of a fistulous tract exceeded 3 mm. Afterwards, the patients were randomly assigned to either the PRP group or MAF group, consisting of 49 patients, and 47 patients, respectively.ResultsThere was no significant statistical difference (p = 0.152) between both investigated groups of patients regarding closure of fistulas since it was achieved in 35 (71.43%) patients from group I, compared to 27 (57.45%) patients from group II. The diameter of fistulous tracts below 4 mm exerted a significant impact (p < 0.001) on the healing process after PRP application because fistulas with the narrow tracts were closed in 34 (87.18%) patients, whereas a wider fistula was healed in 1 (10%) patient.ConclusionThe local application of PRP in high, unbranched, and with narrow tracts trans‐sphincteric anal fistulas of crypto‐glandular origin, following loose‐seton drainage is an effective, simple, and a safe method of therapy with a low rate of morbidity.

Published: March 2022

AimsTo investigate interstitial lung disease (ILD) in men with prostate cancer receiving hormone therapy.MethodsWe gathered cases diagnosed with prostate cancer based on the United States Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database from 2004 to 2020. We divided the included cases into 3 groups based on the primary suspected drugs: a hormone therapy group, a positive control group (taxanes), and a negative control group. We employed reporting odds ratio, a disproportionality method, to detect the association between ILD events and target drugs.ResultsWe finally included a total of 85 403 cases, 69 894 cases (628 ILD event cases) in the hormone therapy group, 2302 cases (158 ILD event cases) in the positive control group and 13 207 cases (72 ILD event cases) in the negative control group. There were 394 ILD event cases (62.74%) in the hormone therapy group in Japan; 78.68% of the ILD events occurred within the first year after hormone treatment. Disproportionality analysis indicated that ILD events were significantly associated with nilutamide, flutamide, bicalutamide, goserelin, degarelix and apalutamide; the reporting odds ratios (95% confidence interval) were 32.14 (11.03–93.63), 9.93 (3.62–27.21), 8.19 (6.01–11.16), 3.74 (2.61–5.37), 2.41 (1.55–3.75) and 1.94 (1.01–3.75), respectively.ConclusionBased on this FAERS pharmacovigilance analysis, the association between ILD events and hormone therapy drugs, including bicalutamide, flutamide, nilutamide, goserelin, degarelix and apalutamide, should not be ignored, especially in the Japanese population. Lung function of prostate cancer patients should be monitored when receiving the hormone therapy drugs mentioned above, especially for the first year post medication.

Published: March 2022

AbstractPathogenic variants in IQ motif and SEC7 domain containing protein 2 (IQSEC2) gene cause a variety of neurodevelopmental disorders, with intellectual disability as a uniform feature. We report five cases, each with a novel missense variant in the pleckstrin homology (PH) domain of the IQSEC2 protein. Male patients all present with moderate to profound intellectual disability, significant delays or absent language and speech and variable seizures. We describe the phenotypic spectrum associated with missense variants in PH domain of IQSEC2, further delineating the genotype–phenotype correlation for this X‐linked gene.

Published: March 2022

AbstractAimsThe objective of the present case series is to report on the rationale, surgical technique and outcome of a protocol for peri‐implant mucosal phenotype modification therapy, referred to as “fibrin immobilization vestibular extension (FIVE)”.Material and MethodsThe protocol utilized entailed apical positioning and stabilization of peri‐implant flap with modular screws. The screws were also used for the immobilization of solid matrix platelet‐rich fibrin to fill the gap created between apically positioned flap and the crestal margin of the flap.ResultsA total of 30 patients (12 male, 18 females) with 93 implants were treated with FIVE protocol for various indications, including for vestibular extension following alveolar ridge augmentation (N = 6), preprosthetic (N = 9), postprosthetic (N = 2), and peri‐implantitis (N = 13). The keratinized mucosal width preoperatively was 1.67 mm with 95% confidence interval [CI] (1.46, 1.88). Immediately following FIVE surgery, the vestibule was extended to 9.10 with 95% CI (8.44, 9.76). At 3 months, 4.9 mm (95% CI: 4.5–5.2 mm) of peri‐implant keratinized mucosal width was present. The keratinized mucosal width remained relatively stable thereafter and was 4.0 mm (95% CI: 3.5–4.5 mm) at 3 years post‐FIVE surgery. When overall group means across all time points were analyzed, maxilla had mean of 6.1 mm (95% CI: 5.8–6.5) versus mandible exhibited mean of 5.1 mm (95% CI: 4.6–5.6 mm). The mean of maxilla was significantly higher than that of the mandible (p < 0.0001) across all time points. Treatment of peri‐implantitis with FIVE lead to significant pocket reduction and wide band of keratinized mucosa. Seven of 38 implants in 3 of 13 peri‐implantitis patients were removed due to advanced peri‐implantitis.DiscussionThe present case series provides proof‐of‐principle data for efficacy of FIVE for peri‐implant phenotype modification therapy that generated attached keratinized mucosa in a variety of applications. This protocol provides an alternative to procedures involving harvesting of autogenous mucosal graft.
Unraveling the evolutionary history of the snakefly family Inocelliidae (Insecta: Raphidioptera) through integrative phylogenetics

Published: March 2022

AbstractInocelliidae is one of the two extant families of the holometabolan order Raphidioptera (snakeflies), with the modern fauna represented by seven genera and 44 species. The evolutionary history of the family is little‐known. Here we present the first phylogenetic and biogeographical analyses based on a worldwide sampling of taxa and datasets combined with morphological characters and mitochondrial genomes, aiming to investigate the intergeneric phylogeny and historical biogeography of Inocelliidae. The phylogenetic inference from the combined analysis of morphological and molecular data recovered the sister‐group relationship between a clade of (Negha + Indianoinocellia) + Sininocellia and a clade of Fibla + the Inocellia clade (interiorly nested by Amurinocellia and Parainocellia). Amurinocellia stat.r. and Parainocellia stat.r. et emend.n. are relegated to subgeneric status within Inocellia, whereas a newly erected subgenus of Inocellia, Epinocellia subgen.n., accommodates the former Parainocellia burmana (U. Aspöck and H. Aspöck, 1968) plus a new species Inocellia (Epinocellia) weii sp.n. Further, the Inocellia crassicornis group constitutes the nominotypical subgenus Inocellia stat.n., but the Inocellia fulvostigmata group is paraphyletic. Diversification within Inocelliidae is distinguished by an Eocene divergence leading to extant genera and a Miocene radiation of species. A biogeographical scenario depicts how the diverse inocelliid fauna from East Asia could have originated from western North America via dispersal across the Beringia during the early Tertiary, and how the Miocene ancestors of Inocellia could have accomplished long‐distance dispersals via the Tibet–Himalayan corridor or eastern Palaearctic to western Palaearctic. Our results shed new light specifically on the evolution of Inocelliidae and, in general, the Raphidioptera.
Small‐scale estimation of recreational fishing effort and catch from broad‐scale survey data: A case study using multiple‐use Marine Protected Areas in Western Australia
Authors: Smallwood Claire B. , Ryan Karina L. 
Published: March 2022

AbstractSustainability assessment and management evaluation of broad‐scale recreational fisheries are routinely informed using effort and catch data sourced from recurring offsite surveys. Similar information is often required for small‐scale recreational fisheries and other spatial management areas. Data from four state‐wide recreational fishing surveys in Western Australia were evaluated using grid‐ and location‐based direct estimation approaches to determine whether effort and total catch could be estimated robustly for small‐scale geographical areas. Marine protected areas (MPAs) were selected as case studies, and robustness of the various approaches was assessed based on acceptable sample size and uncertainty. Effort and total catch (number retained and released across all species) were robustly estimated for 19 MPAs. Total catch was also robustly estimated for 32 teleost species across multiple MPAs. Robust estimates were less likely for offshore MPAs than coastal MPAs, with lower sample sizes associated with greater distance from boat ramps and population centres. Grid‐based approaches were therefore generally more appropriate for offshore MPAs, while location‐based approaches were more appropriate for coastal MPAs. This study demonstrates how existing monitoring of broad‐scale recreational fisheries fulfils a need for similar data in small‐scale recreational fisheries, thereby allowing for the efficient use of resources that benefit fisheries management and conservation objectives.

Published: March 2022

AbstractBackgroundThe etiology of dental fear (DF) is multifactorial and involves other contributing factors than dental traumatic experiences.AimTo study, among adolescents, associations between DF and exposure to child physical abuse (CPA), intimate partner violence (IPV), and bullying.DesignWe extracted data from a population‐based survey of 4977 adolescents who were 15–17 years old in 2017. The questionnaire queried socioeconomic background factors, DF, self‐perceived oral health, general health, and exposure to child abuse. To estimate associations between DF and exposure to child abuse, we used multivariate logistic regression analysis.ResultsOverall, 8.2% reported DF, girls (10.5%) reported DF significantly more often than boys (5%), and adolescents not identifying themselves as girl or boy reported the highest prevalence of DF (25.5%; p < .001). 15.3% had been exposed to child physical abuse; 11.1%, to IPV; and 11.2%, to bullying. Experiences of IPV and bullying, but not physical abuse, were statistically significantly associated with DF. The odds of developing DF for adolescents exposed to any type of violence was 1.9 times the odds for adolescents with no exposure to child abuse.ConclusionExposure to violence is associated with dental fear in adolescents.
