Authors: Coronado-Gutiérrez David , Franco Pablo , López Carlos 
Published: October 2022

AbstractObjectivesTo propose a tool to detect and locate malignant nodules and microcalcifications in mammography and judge its potential as a screening tool.MethodsIn this institutional review board approved retrospective study we presented a new tool based on deep learning techniques to predict and locate lesions in mammograms, called quantusMM. 3,114 mammograms from 976 patients were collected from Onkologikoa (Instituto Oncológico de Kutxa) databases for this purpose: 1,248 images with malignant nodules, 736 with malignant microcalcifications and 1,131 without any suspicious findings. The proposed methods split the images in patches to be able to locate the lesions in the image. Then, these methods select the patches most likely to have a lesion based on the brightness values of the pixels. 80% of the selected patches (with the corresponding outcome) were used to train deep learning algorithms and the remaining 20% were used to test the performance to classify into malignant parts or control parts.ResultsThe proposed methods obtain an area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 95.5% to predict malignant nodules using the patches, and 90.4% to predict malignant nodules into the whole images. To predict malignant microcalcifications the method obtains an AUC of 99.0% into patches and 90.0% into the whole images.ConclusionsThe proposed tool shows potential to predict and locate malignant nodules and microcalcification lesions in mammography. This new approach could help in the first screening of patients and also could greatly benefit radiologists to support decision making.

Published: October 2022

PurposeThis study aims to identify the enabling factors for Building Information Modeling (BIM) adoption in Vietnamese construction enterprises and uncover their interrelationships. This will help stakeholders focus on controlling and allocating resources (time, personnel, and costs) appropriately to adopt BIM and differentiate themselves from fierce competition in the architectural, engineering, construction and operations (AECO) industry.Design/methodology/approachThis study first identifies and evaluates 32 enabling factors for applying BIM in the Vietnamese construction industry according to the TOE extended framework. Afterwards, a hybrid questionnaire survey using a convenient sampling method is conducted to capture stakeholders' views. The exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and the partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) technique are then applied to identify the constructs of the enabling factors and their interrelationships.FindingsThe study extracts six constructs that could have a significant impact on the adoption of BIM in construction enterprises, namely: technical feasibility (TF), human resources and management (HRM), company business vision (CBV), political environment (PE), economic viability (EV), and legal aspects (LA). Based on eleven proposed hypotheses, the analysis results confirm nine hypotheses and show that the HRM, TF, and CBV have the strongest effects on managers in evaluating the factors for BIM.Originality/valueThe results of the study fill the gap in knowledge by discovering the interrelationships among the enabling factors for BIM adoption in construction enterprises. The results might support the construction enterprises and their stakeholders in increasing the application of BIM, and digital transformation in construction industry.

Published: October 2022

PurposeIn the fabric manufacturing industry, various unfavorable factors, including machine fault and yarn breakage, can easily cause fabric defects and affect product quality, begetting huge economic losses to enterprises. Thus, automatic fabric defect detection systems have become an important development direction. Herein, the most common defects in the fabric production process, like ribbon yarn, broken yarn, cotton ball, holes, yarn shedding and stains, are detected. Current fabric defect detection systems afford low detection accuracy and a high missed detection rate for small target fabric defects. Therefore, this study proposes deep learning technology for automatically detecting fabric defects by improving the YOLOv5s target detection algorithm. The improved algorithm is termed YOLOv5s-4SCK, which can effectively detect fabric defects. This study aims to discuss the aforementioned issues.Design/methodology/approachSpecifically, based on the YOLOv5s algorithm, first, the structure of YOLOv5s is modified to add a small target detection layer, fully utilize deep and shallow features and reduce the missed detection rate of small target fabric defects. Second, the integration of CARAFE upsampling enables the effective retention of feature information and maintenance of a certain computational efficiency, thereby improving the detection accuracy. Finally, the K-Means++ clustering algorithm is used to analyze the position of the center point of the prior box to better obtain the anchor box and improve the average accuracy and evaluation index of detection.FindingsThe research results show that the YOLOv5s-4SCK algorithm increases the accuracy by 4.1% and the detection speed by 2 f.s-1 compared to the original YOLOv5s algorithm, and it effectively improves the original YOLOv5s problem of high missed detection rate of small targets.Research limitations/implicationsThe YOLOv5s-4SCK proposed in this paper can effectively reduce the missed detection rate of fabric defects, improve the detection efficiency and has certain industrial value.Practical implicationsThe proposed algorithm can quickly identify fabric defects, effectively improving the detection rate. In the future, the proposed algorithm will be applied in the actual industry.Social implicationsAutomatic fabric defect detection reduces the manpower of inspectors, and the proposed YOLOv5s-4SCK algorithm is also suitable for other recognition fields.Originality/valueThe proposed YOLOv5s-4SCK algorithm has been tested using real cloth to ensure its accuracy, and its performance is better than the original YOLOv5s algorithm.

Published: October 2022

PurposeRecently, online learning and online environments have become even more important. Students' engagement, fear of missing out and Internet addiction are seen as interrelated components that affect students' online teaching and learning process. In this context, university students' engagement, fear of missing out and Internet addiction in online environments, the relationship among them and students' demographic characteristics, online environment usage status and Internet usage profiles as their predictors are examined in this study.Design/methodology/approachThis is a relational study and is carried out with 179 university students. Personal information form, student's engagement, fear of missing out and Internet addiction scales were used as data collection tools. Descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, correlation, hierarchical linear multiple regression analysis are used for the analysis.FindingsAccording to the results, variables related to students' demographic characteristics, online environment usage status and Internet usage profiles together significantly predict the students' engagement, fear of missing out and Internet addiction in online environments. When students think positively about taking courses online, their engagement increases accordingly and their fear of missing out levels decrease. Increase in student's academic achievement leads to decline in Internet addiction.Practical implicationsIn practice, examining the related variables about students in terms of engagement to the learning environment, fear of missing out and Internet addiction could bring a new perspective to studies on problematic use of the Internet and technology such as nomophobia and digital distraction. The results of this study reveal how and which components to be focused on for increasing the university students' engagement, reducing Internet addiction and fear of missing out in online learning environments.Originality/valueThe findings of this study provide a versatile perspective with the variables of student participation, fear of missing out, Internet addiction and their predictors in online learning environments, which are becoming widespread and increasingly important today and shed light on future researches.

Published: October 2022

PurposeThe main purpose of this study is to examine the role of Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) accreditation in business education students' leadership motivation and citizenship motivation.Design/methodology/approachThis study followed a quantitative approach: a conceptual model was developed based on an extensive review of the related literature; a questionnaire-based survey was conducted through an online link sent to faculty members and heads of business schools across Jordan which has AACSB accreditation. In total, 307 questionnaire surveys were completed and used in the statistical analysis. The two-stage approach of structural equation modeling (SEM) was employed to analyze and interpret the data and used to validate the conceptual model of this research.FindingsThe findings through SEM indicate all five latent constructs of organizational effectiveness have a significant and positive impact on business student citizenship motivation (SCM), whereas for the student leadership motivation (SLM), only student career development (SCD) has an insignificant impact.Research limitations/implicationsSome limitations are associated with the quantitative methods of data analysis, missing demographic details of some respondents, and non-observation of response bias. The study model only includes five latent constructs of organizational effectiveness, which are appropriate to the study population and environment.Originality/valueThis research offers a substantial contribution to the unexplored area of the organizational effectiveness of accreditation and its impact on the student leadership and citizenship, specifically in the context of Jordan. Moreover, as there are few AACSB studies in the Middle East, this research goes some way to address this shortage.
The role of information in relation to interaction affected by technology change – the case of a telemedicine pilot project
Authors: Dóra Tímea Beatrice , Mátó Ágnes Réka , Szalkai Zsuzsanna , Vilmányi Márton 
Published: October 2022

Purpose
Telemedicine, similarly to social media, accelerates information exchange, enriches information, provides better access to information and, furthermore, has an impact on mobilizing resources in business-to-business relationships. This paper aims to contribute to the understanding of the changes brought about by telemedicine, as a new technology, in patient routes.

Design/methodology/approach
This case study method was applied to examine five health-care protocols through their patient routes (series of activities) with and without telemedicine technology. The ARA model was applied to examine the changes telemedicine engendered in relation to activities, resources and actors. The strategy of visual mapping was applied for the comparative analysis.

Findings
The analyzed cases show that the new resources applied through telemedicine technology modified the number and substance of relevant activities and the set and role of actors who were involved. The quantity or the availability of output information increased in patient routes when new resources were added by telemedicine technology. When technology change occurred, any change in data or information systems – the two building blocks of information – could result in new or modified activities. If data that is used or produced while undertaking an activity change simultaneously along with the information system used for encrypting this data, then this “joint change” will certainly entail some kind of change in the set of activities, resources or actors that are involved. If not, then the activities continued the same as with the face-to-face protocol (without the new technology).

Originality/value
The novelty of the paper is that the results highlight the role of information in the extent of change in interactions induced by new technology. Findings about such changes show how information influenced by activities, resources and actors can help decision-makers in relation to the use of telemedicine.
“Decolonizing” the minds of children in Africa: Youssef in Egypt and Achebe in Nigeria
Authors: Youssef Loubna A. 
Published: October 2022

PurposeThis paper aims to shed light on how children's literature in Africa deserves to be studied because African writers “decolonize” the minds of African children and children and adults around the world.Design/methodology/approachThis paper defines children's literature from an African perspective and the “decolonization of the mind.” This is done to examine how two African writers provide narratives for children inspired by their cultures. They deal with themes, characters and symbols that interest children and adults.FindingsAchebe and Youssef crossed many borders: the world of children and adults, animals and humans, vice and virtue, supernatural and real. Their stories take the reader on journeys that involve enriching, engaging and inspiring adventures.Research limitations/implicationsYoussef and Achebe are prolific writers. Providing a survey of what is available in Arabic and Nigerian literature for children, is beyond the scope of this paper.Practical implicationsThis paper sends a message to those in charge of the curriculum in schools in Egypt, the Arab countries, Africa and the world at large: decolonize the syllabi in schools because the world is not black and white. Literature for children that encourages critical thinking is available by African writers in Egypt, Nigeria and elsewhere.Social implicationsThe works discussed show that African writers are creative, and their works inspire the African child with pride in his/her identity, culture and heritage.Originality/valueTo the best of the author’s knowledge, no one has compared Egyptian and Nigerian literature for children before. Youssef and Achebe provide evidence that “Good literature gives the child a place in the world … and the world a place in the child.” – Astrid Lindgren.
Career identity and organizational identification among professionals with on-demand work
Authors: Yang Chunjiang , Chen Yashuo , Zhao Xinyuan , Cui Zhenzhen 
Published: October 2022

PurposeDrawing upon the social identity theory, the authors argue that professionals' career identities have a positive indirect effect on identification with on-demand organizations through career networking behavior. In addition, the strength of these beneficial effects was also bound by extraversion and collectivism.Design/methodology/approachThe hypothesized moderated mediation model was tested by multisource and time-lagged data about 242 Chinese accountants engaging in on-demand work.FindingsThe results demonstrated that professionals with a career identity tend to engage in career networking behaviors and identify themselves with a client company. In addition, extraverted professionals were more likely to engage in career networking behaviors, and collectivist professionals were more likely to identify with their on-demand organizations.Practical implicationsThis research provides important guidelines on how managers in on-demand organizations leverage gig workers' career identities to establish deep relationships with them.Originality/valueThe authors expanded the traditional framework of identification in the setting of nontraditional work arrangements by establishing a link between career identity and organizational identification for on-demand professionals.
Surviving or flourishing: how relationships with principal investigators influence science graduate students’ wellness
Authors: Griffin Kimberly A. , Stone Joakina , Dissassa Di-Tu , Hall Terra Nicole , Clarke Ashley 
Published: October 2022

Purpose
This study aims to focus on the experiences of biomedical science students nearing the end of their doctoral programs and the factors that influence their well-being. In addition to identifying general challenges, the study aims to expand understanding of how interactions with principal investigators (PIs) can influence students’ well-being and engagement in wellness practices.

Design/methodology/approach
This qualitative study presents an analysis of interview data collected from 90 trainees five years after beginning their graduate programs. All were participants in a larger mixed-methods, longitudinal study. Emergent themes and a codebook were established after reviewing interview transcripts and completing memos. Codes were applied to data, and reports were generated to confirm and challenge early interpretations.

Findings
Participants described four key factors that influenced their well-being: perceived work/life balance; managing progress on research; program completion and job search; and overall faculty relationships. While relationships with PIs could be a source of stress, participants more often described how both interactions with, and observations of their PIs could amplify or mitigate their ability to manage other stressors and overall sense of well-being.

Originality/value
While researchers in the USA have increasingly considered the factors impacting graduate student mental health, there has been less of an emphasis on wellness and well-being. Furthermore, there has been less attention to how PIs contribute, in positive and negative ways, to these outcomes. This study offers insight into well-being at a specific timepoint, considering dynamics unique to wellness and well-being in the later stages of doctoral training.
Litter facilitates plant development but restricts seedling establishment during vegetation regeneration

Published: October 2022

Abstract

Rapid vegetation regeneration and increased litter production have been predicted under the global greening scenario, but the overall relationship between litter production and vegetation regeneration has not been well addressed.

To bridge this knowledge gap, we quantified the responses of the seed stage, seedling stage, plant development stage and vegetation community to litter using 3193 paired observations at the global scale based on the effect size across different categories.

Overall, litter significantly decreased seedling establishment and density by 28.4% and 27.7%, increased plant height by 17.4% and decreased species richness by 15.4%. Seed germination at the seed stage was not directly controlled by litter but was positively regulated by changes in soil moisture from litter. In contrast, litter type and litter mass displayed negative effects on the seedling stage, but litter promoted seedling survival with increasing elevation. Moreover, litter composition and plant type dominated the effects of litter on the plant development stage, showing that the increase in litter production might favour the development of broadleaved trees rather than other plants.

The present results suggest that litter could restrict the stage from seed to seedling but facilitate plant development after the seedling establishment and slightly affect the vegetation community except for species richness. These results provide deep insight into the relationships between litter production and vegetation regeneration at different stages, which are important for developing models accounting for vegetation regeneration responses to ongoing global greening.

Compensatory recruitment unlikely in high‐elevation amphibian populations challenged with disease
Authors: Hardy Bennett M. , Muths Erin , Lambert Bradley A. , Schneider Scott C. , Funk W. Chris , Bailey Larissa L. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract

Understanding the causes of population variation in host response to disease, and the mechanisms of persistence, can serve as vital information for species conservation. One such mechanism of population persistence that has gained support is the demographic process of compensatory recruitment. Host populations may persist by increasing recruitment to compensate for reduced survival due to infection, thus limiting the negative effects of the disease on population trajectories. However, high‐elevation populations are inherently vulnerable to stochastic processes and may be limited in their ability to exhibit compensatory recruitment relative to lower elevation populations.

We use long‐term mark–recapture data from five populations of boreal toads Anaxyrus boreas boreas, across an elevational gradient in Colorado, before and after pathogen arrival to assess whether populations can persist with Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) via compensatory recruitment.

Prior to pathogen arrival, we found a life‐history trade‐off between survival and recruitment across elevations, where high‐elevation toads have high survival but lower recruitment and vice versa at lower elevations.

Pathogen arrival had a strong negative effect on apparent annual survival and recruitment leading to negative population growth rates and dramatically reduced host abundances. The data did not support the occurrence of compensatory recruitment.

Synthesis and applications. Our unique dataset indicates that demographic responses to pathogens may be environmentally (i.e. elevationally) context dependent and highlights the value of long‐term monitoring. We recommend that practitioners verify that potential persistence mechanisms occur across multiple populations and relevant environmental gradients to counter any assumptions of the mechanism existing species‐wide. Quantifying variation in population responses to disease will aid in understanding the bounds of such persistence mechanisms and identify particularly vulnerable populations where mechanisms are nonexistent.
