ABSTRACTFollowing a recent report on ancient human Herpesviridae (HHV), we adapted a standard protocol used for the high-throughput sequencing of modern DNA to recover ancient DNA (aDNA) from dental pulp specimens collected at two historical burial sites. Investigation of 36 soldiers buried in Sevastopol, Crimea, during the 1853-1856 Crimean War yielded genomic sequences covering 8.5% of the herpes simplex virus (HSV)-1 genome, 15.7% of the HSV-2 genome, 1.9% of the Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) genome and 3.9% of the cytomegalovirus genome. Further investigation of 16 civilians buried in the 17th century in Amiens, France, yielded genomic sequences covering 9.8% of the HHV-1 genome and 2.2% of the HHV-6A genome; all data obtained with parallel negative controls was appropriately negative. Specific qPCRs confirmed the presence of four HSV-1, two HSV-2 and one EBV sequences in Sevastopol and two HSV-1 and one HHV-6 sequences in Amiens. HHV-6 was further detected by fluorescent in situ hybridization. These results demonstrated the usefulness of modern metagenomic protocols for high-throughput sequencing of aDNA in dental pulp.

Authors: Hu Junshan , Sun Xinyue , Tian Wei , Xuan Shanyong , Yan Yang , Changrui Wang , Liao Wenhe 
Published: April 2022

Purpose
Aerospace assembly demands high drilling position accuracy for fastener holes. Hole position error correction is a key issue to meet the required hole position accuracy. This paper aims to propose a combined hole position error correction method to achieve high positioning accuracy.

Design/methodology/approach
The bilinear interpolation surface function based on the shape of the aerospace structure is capable of dealing with position error of non-gravity deformation. A gravity deformation model is developed based on mechanics theory to efficiently correct deformation error caused by gravity. Moreover, three solution strategies of the average, least-squares and genetic optimization algorithms are used to solve the coefficients in the gravity deformation model to further improve position accuracy and efficiency.

Findings
Experimental validation shows that the combined position error correction method proposed in this paper significantly reduces the position errors of fastener holes from 1.106 to 0.123 mm. The total position error is reduced by 43.49% compared with the traditional mechanics theory method.

Research limitations/implications
The position error correlation method could reach an accuracy of millimeter or submillimeter scale, which may not satisfy higher precision.

Practical implications
The proposed position error correction method has been integrated into the automatic drilling machine to ensure the drilling position accuracy.

Social implications
The proposed position error method could promote the wide application of automatic drilling and riveting machining system in aerospace industry.

Originality/value
A combined position error correction method and the complete roadmap for error compensation are proposed. The position accuracy of fastener holes is reduced stably below 0.2 mm, which can fulfill the requirements of aero-structural assembly.

Authors: Guizani Moncef , Abdalkrim Gaafar 
Published: April 2022

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of board gender diversity on firm financial distress for a sample of 367 non-financial firms listed on Bursa Malaysia over the period from 2011 to 2019.Design/methodology/approachThe study employs both panel logistic regression and dynamic generalized method of moments estimator to determine the impact of board gender diversity on the likelihood of financial distress. Altman Z-score model is used as a proxy for financial distress indicator. The bigger the Z-score, the smaller the risk of financial distress.FindingsThe results show that board gender diversity could help to improve board effectiveness by preventing corporations from being too exposed to financial distress and bankruptcy. In particular, whether they are independent or inside members, women directors are likely to reduce the likelihood of financial distress. The results also show that the effect of female directors on the likelihood of financial distress is strengthened through more board independence. The results are consistent with those in prior research that documents the benefits of board gender diversity.Practical implicationsThis paper provides insights for corporate decision makers in emerging economies, helping them to determine the board's design in terms of roles and composition that promote governance practices and prevent financial troubles. Furthermore, the findings of this study may be useful regulators as they shed light on the importance to undertake measures and reforms to promote board effectiveness by the introduction of gender diversity. Finally, this study also offers implications for society in general, considering that the practice of enhancing board gender diversity can significantly safeguard the interest of a wide range of stakeholders by reducing the chances of corporate bankruptcy.Originality/valueWhile prior research has examined the effect of board gender diversity on firm performance, this study is the first to investigate the effect of board gender diversity on the likelihood of financial distress in Malaysia.

Authors: Chouhan Shivani , Narang Aishwarya , Mukherjee Mahua 
Published: April 2022

Purpose
In the event of a disaster, educational institutions like schools serve as lifeline buildings. Hence, it is crucial to safeguard these buildings for the communities that may depend on the school as a disaster shelter and aid center. Thus, this paper aims to conduct a multihazard risk assessment survey at 50 schools (with 246 building blocks) in Dehradun.

Design methodology approach
The past few decades have witnessed the impact of multihazard frequency in Uttarakhand, India, due to the geographical features of the Himalayas and its neo-tectonic mountain-building process. Dehradun is the capital of Uttarakhand state and comes under seismic zone IV, which is highly prone to earthquakes.

Findings
The hazard assessment is divided into two types of surveys: first, building-level surveys that include rapid visual screening, nonstructural risk assessment and fire safety audit, and second, campus-level surveys that include vulnerability analysis for earthquake, flood, industrial hazard, landslide and wind.

Social implications
This paper will list several gaps and unrecognized practices in the region that increase the schools’ multihazard risk. The study’s outcome will help prioritize the planning of disaster awareness, retrofitting execution, future construction practices and decision-making to minimize the risk and prepare the school for the upcoming disasters.

Originality value
Physical data were collected by the author to determine the multihazard risk analysis in 50 schools in the Dehradun District of Uttarakhand, India. The building- and campus-level surveys have been used to generate a database for the retrofit and renovation process for each individual school to use their budget fruitfully and in a planned way. The survey conducted is more effort and a more detailed risk evaluation which necessitates effectively mitigating and ensuring the potential safety of the region’s schools.

The impact of corporate social responsibility expectations on purchase intention of social enterprise products
Authors: Ng Mark 
Published: April 2022

Purpose
With the rapid increase in corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices in many firms and the development of social enterprises (SE), questions regarding the ways in which CSR affects consumers’ attitudes and behaviours have become crucial. This study aims to investigate how consumers’ CSR expectations and knowledge relate to their attitudes and purchase intentions regarding SE products.

Design/methodology/approach
This study investigates how consumer expectations of CSR and their own social responsibility affects purchase intention of SE products. The hypotheses are tested on a sample of 397 individuals recruited through snowball sampling online. The research hypotheses are tested by structural equation modelling. Most of the hypotheses are supported by the data analysis.

Findings
The results show that consumers’ CSR expectations, subjective knowledge and consumer’s perceived social responsibility (CPSR) have positive effects on their attitudes and purchase intentions concerning SE products. The results contribute to the literature on marketing of SE products and demonstrate that consumer CSR expectation and their CPSR are important antecedents of intention to purchase SE products.

Originality/value
There is limited empirical study on the purchase intention of SE products. The findings provide the empirical evidence that individual-level antecedents, including consumer’s CSR expectations, perceived social responsibility and subjective knowledge, have a significant relationship to their intentions to SE products. This study also supports the view that the general rise in CSR expectations and CPSR creates a favourable context for the marketing of SE products.
Large herbivore impact on plant biomass along multiple resource gradients in the Serengeti
Authors: Mohanbabu Neha , Ritchie Mark E. 
Published: April 2022

Abstract

Herbivores form an important link in the transfer of energy within a food web and are strongly influenced by bottom‐up trophic cascades. Current hypotheses suggest that herbivore consumption and impact on plants should scale positively with plant resource availability. However, depending on the effect of resources on plant quantity and quality, herbivore impact may vary with different types of resources.

We test four alternative hypotheses for the relationship between plant biomass, herbivore impact on plant biomass and plant resource gradients, each based on how resources might affect plant abundance and quality to herbivores. We measured plant biomass for four non‐consecutive years in a long‐term grazing exclosure experiment in the Serengeti National Park that includes seven sites that vary substantially in rainfall and soil and plant nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P).

Our data supported the hypothesis that herbivore impact is controlled by plant quality, in this case driven by plant P, as herbivore effects on biomass decreased with higher rainfall but increased with greater plant P, but not N content. To our knowledge, this is the first experimental study to indicate that wild mammalian herbivory is associated with P availability rather than N.

Synthesis. Our results suggest that P, in addition to water and N, may play a more important role in driving trophic interactions in terrestrial systems than previously realized. Given the uncertainties in rainfall due to climate change and increasing anthropogenic manipulations of global N and P cycles, our findings emphasize the need to consider multiple resources for understanding how trophic interactions might be influenced by environmental variables.
Business and Politics in the United States
Authors: Wilson Graham K. 
Published: April 2022

AbstractAmerican business enjoys significant advantages in politics, including a generally sympathetic culture, the loyal support of most Republicans, dominance of the interest group system and favourable incentives in the US political economy. However, these advantages are not as clear‐cut as is often imagined and are more likely to be used by corporations against each other than in defence of general business interests.

AbstractBackgroundBiomarker assessments for nivolumab monotherapy efficacy in previously treated patients with non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remain unclear. We evaluated whether body mass index (BMI) and Glasgow prognostic score (GPS) are useful for assessing the efficacy of nivolumab alone as a second‐line treatment in patients with pretreated NSCLC.MethodsData of 99 patients treated with second‐line nivolumab monotherapy for NSCLC between January 2016 and December 2019 were evaluated for prognostic values of BMI and GPS to assess their usefulness in predicting progression‐free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).ResultsThe Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group‐performance status (PS) independently predicted the second‐line nivolumab monotherapeutic effect; good PS (0–1) correlated with significantly longer PFS (4.3 vs. 1.9 months, log‐rank; p = 0.0004) and OS (17.7 vs. 4.6 months, log‐rank; p < 0.0001) than poor PS. BMI independently predicted survival, with high BMI (≥22.1 kg/m2) associated with significantly longer OS (19.1 vs. 8.5 months, log‐rank; p = 0.0023) than low BMI (<22.1 kg/m2). However, GPS showed no significant difference for PFS or OS.ConclusionAmong patients with NSCLC treated with nivolumab monotherapy as second‐line treatment, PS was significantly correlated with both PFS and OS and BMI with OS. Thus, BMI could be a useful predictor of survival in these patients.
