Public library use, demographic differences in library use and users' perceptions of library resources, services and place
Authors: Mushtaq Ayesha , Arshad Alia 
Published: May 2022

PurposeThe study aimed to investigate public library users' most frequent and least frequent activities in the library and demographic differences in the use of public libraries. The study also explored library users' perceived importance of library resources, services and the value of the library as a place.Design/methodology/approachQuantitative research design and survey research method were used to achieve the objectives of the study. A multistage sampling technique was employed to approach the targeted population. At the first stage, ten functional libraries of Lahore were selected purposively. The targeted population was users of the ten public libraries of the Punjab, Lahore. At the second stage, convenience sampling was used to collect data from public library users. The instrument of the research study was the questionnaire and it was developed with the help of the literature and administrated personally. The questionnaire was distributed to 384 public library users of the Lahore district and 301 questionnaires were returned out of 384.FindingsThe results of the study showed that library users frequently visited the library for reading personal books and examination preparation; however, they never or rarely used e-databases, photocopy and printer services, computer stations, the internet, library catalog and socialization with friends. Significant differences were found among public library users in their public library use on the basis of gender, age, designation and academic qualification. The library collection played a very important role in developing the community's reading habits, supporting academic achievements and self-grooming.Practical implicationsThe results of the study suggest that public librarians can expand library reading halls space and provide a comfortable reading environment for the users. Library community programs are helpful in lifelong learning; therefore, the library should organize community programs (i.e. storytelling sessions, workshops and interactive sessions) for their users. Public libraries can strengthen their services by considering demographic differences in public library use.Originality/valueThe study is valuable as it will examine the public libraries' use, demographic differences in use and users' perceived importance of library resources, service and place in Pakistani context. Very few studies investigated gender differences in public library; however, this study's findings will contribute to knowledge by examining various demographic differences in library use.

Published: May 2022

PurposeThere is no consensus on the most effective way to foster entrepreneurship in educational institutions, and educational policies on entrepreneurial activity differ significantly amidst organizations and contexts. Thus, the objective of this research is to analyze influence of the college environment and entrepreneurial characteristics on the entrepreneurial intention of Brazilian high school/technical students.Design/methodology/approachThe empirical research used partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) and a sample of 384 students of technical courses, such as Administration, Systems Development, Chemistry, Secretariat, among others.FindingsThe proposed model was validated, and the hypotheses were confirmed, proving suitable for high school/technical education. Assessing the high school environment with this model can help determine each organization's strengths and weaknesses and, indeed, the impacts on the ecosystems in which it operates. The results of the multi-group analysis indicate differences concerning the courses as well.Research limitations/implicationsThe main limitations involve non-probabilistic sampling procedures and the collection having been carried out with a single cross-section.Practical implicationsFor managers and teachers, this article presents indicators to qualify the activities of the educational environment, considering teaching activities, extracurricular activities, fairs, actions of teachers and students, among other initiatives.Social implicationsThe article contributes to high school managers, particularly in technical schools, so that they understand the factors that influence the profile and entrepreneurial intention of students; in other words, something that can impact the lives of thousands of students, teachers and the community itself.Originality/valueThis research presents a novel analysis of the antecedents that drive student entrepreneurship in an underexplored educational context in a developing country. The results show the necessary conditions for technical schools to foster entrepreneurial activity, feeding innovation ecosystems with entrepreneurial talent.

Abstract

The rapid changes in the climate of Antarctica are likely to pose challenges to living communities, which makes monitoring of Antarctic fauna an urgent necessity. Benthos is particularly difficult to monitor, and is sensitive to local environmental changes. At the same time, long‐term monitoring is complicated by logistical factors. It is therefore urgent to develop advanced instruments to set up autonomous and long‐term monitoring programmes to obtain the lacking biological knowledge needed to understand this complex and remote marine environment.

We present a pilot study to set up a non‐invasive and sustainable autonomous monitoring activity in Antarctica, leveraging on a specifically designed automated camera recording, computer vision and machine learning image processing techniques. We also present and analyse the high‐resolution image dataset acquired for an extended period of time encompassing both the summer and the Antarctic night and the corresponding transition periods.

The results of this study demonstrate both the effectiveness of such an autonomous imaging devices for acquiring relevant long‐term visual data and the effectiveness of the proposed image analysis algorithms for extracting relevant scientific knowledge from such data. The presented results show how the extracted knowledge discloses dynamics of the observed ecosystems that can be obtained only through continuous observations extended in time, not achievable with the state‐of‐the‐art monitoring approaches commonly implemented in Antarctica.

The success of this pilot study is a step towards the collection of continuous data near shore in Antarctic areas and in general in all the remote and extreme underwater habitats. Moreover, the presented stand‐alone and autonomous imaging device can be used for increasing the number of the monitoring sites in remote environments and when complemented with the acquisition of physical and bio‐chemical variables it can be used for obtaining data collections of great scientific value difficult to acquire otherwise.

AbstractAimTo quantify the trends in frequent and occasional cannabis vaping, demographic differences and concurrent nicotine and alcohol use.DesignObservational study. Survey‐weighted multinomial logistic regression models assessed trends and disparities in past 30‐day cannabis use. Trends were assessed overall and by sex, race/ethnicity, parental education and urbanicity. Multinomial logistic regression models also estimated associations of cannabis use (none, use without vaping, use with vaping) with past 2‐week binge drinking and past 30‐day nicotine/tobacco use.SettingUnited States, 2017–19.ParticipantsParticipants in the national Monitoring the Future (n = 51 052) survey.MeasurementsPast 30‐day frequent cannabis use (six or more times/30 days) and past 30‐day occasional use (one to five times/30 days), with and without vaping.FindingsPast 30‐day frequent cannabis use with vaping and occasional use with vaping rose from 2017 to 2019. Past 30‐day frequent and occasional cannabis use without vaping declined. Certain groups, such as Hispanic/Latino or lower socio‐economic status adolescents, experienced particularly notable increases in frequent cannabis use with vaping (e.g. prevalence among Hispanic/Latino adolescents). Adolescents who reported smoking and vaping nicotine, and 10+ occasions of binge drinking, were 42.28 [95% confidence interval (CI) = 33.14–53.93] and 10.09 (95% CI = 4.51–22.53) times more likely to report past 30‐day cannabis use with vaping, respectively, compared with no use.DiscussionCannabis use without vaping appears to be declining among adolescents in the United States, while cannabis use with vaping is accelerating; frequent cannabis vaping is especially increasing, with consistent increases across almost all adolescent demographic groups. Cannabis use among US adolescents remains highly associated with other substance use.
Immune alterations in recurrent implantation failure

Published: May 2022

AbstractA failure to achieve pregnancy after three or more embryo transfer cycles with high‐quality blastocysts is referred to as recurrent implantation failure (RIF). RIF can be due to altered uterine factors or male factors or embryo factors. Disrupted endometrial receptivity, altered expression of genes in several pathways, immunologic disturbances in the peripheral blood and/or the endometrium, and epigenetic alterations are associated with RIF. Amongst the immunologic disturbances, altered Th1/Th2 ratio, altered NK cell and macrophage numbers are observed in women with RIF. However, not all women with RIF have the same kind of immune dysfunction suggesting that RIF is a heterogeneous condition associated with varied immune responses and one size may not fit all. Thus, personalized therapies based on the immune status of the patient are being tested in women with RIF. In general, women with a high Th1/Th2 ratio are offered Tacrolimus, while intravenous IgG is recommended in women with high NK cell numbers/HLA mismatch. Women with hyperactivated immune status in the uterus are offered progesterone support, prednisolone, vitamin E, and intralipid treatment to suppress inflammation and oxidative stress, while endometrial scratching and intrauterine hCG administration are offered to women with hypo‐active immune status. There is a need for standardized tests for evaluation of immune status in patients and sufficiently powered randomized controlled trials for personalized therapies to determine which of these will be beneficial in women with RIF. Till then, the ART community should limit the use of such add‐on interventions in women with RIF.

Published: May 2022

AbstractBackgroundAddiction is a global problem that has many negative consequences on human health as well as the quality of life.ObjectivesThis review aimed to assess the effect of addiction on human male fertility.MethodsA systematic review was conducted on various electronic sites.ResultsThe initial literature search identified a total of 5239 articles in all searched databases. After removing duplicates and application of inclusion/exclusion criteria, 177 were potential articles, 112 were omitted because no direct relevance was encountered. Finally, 65 studies were retained for review. They were classified according to the type of addiction into; opioids and cannabinoids (18 articles), alcohol (7 articles), cocaine (2 articles), Androgenic Anabolic steroids (AAS, 15 articles), tobacco (10 articles) and caffeine (13 articles). Most of these recruited articles demonstrated a negative impact of the addressed substance on male fertility with variable levels of evidence.ConclusionsIt was concluded that addiction harms human male fertility that should be put into consideration. More future studies are needed after a proper methodological and statistical approach, including logistic regression analysis, to predict the effect of a specific substance on human male fertility.

Published: May 2022

AbstractThe corridors of history are filled with examples of leaders whose enduring legacies are typified by self‐sacrifice for the greater good during difficult times. Over the last two decades, scholarly interest in self‐sacrificial leader behaviours has increased. In the present article, we conduct a systematic review of prior empirical findings to highlight what we know about leader self‐sacrifice and galvanise future research to examine its implications for the workplace. To achieve this purpose, our review examines how leader self‐sacrifice has been defined and measured in previous work and develops an integrative framework that synthesises empirical work on its antecedents, outcomes, boundary conditions and underlying mechanisms. Based on our review, we articulate a comprehensive research agenda that identifies opportunities for theoretical, empirical and methodological advances in the field.
Navigating rural ruin: Infrastructural dynamics in Australia's New England North West
Authors: McNeil Molly 
Published: May 2022

AbstractWhilst there has been an increase in attention to infrastructure in the social sciences and humanities over the last two decades, this focus has primarily explored urban landscapes, neglecting infrastructural dynamics in rural areas. This paper explores the synergistic relationship between rurality and infrastructure by focusing on examples and experiences of infrastructural ruin in Australia's New England North West. Drawing on 2 months of ethnographic fieldwork, this paper argues that ruination is a common modality though which infrastructure is experienced in rural contexts, and that this ruination, which is tied to the histories and everyday experience of rural spaces, becomes a means by which rurality is (re)produced both materially and culturally. Exploring infrastructural ruination in rural regions allows for narratives to be told of rural spaces that move beyond revivalist and declinist paradigms of rural scholarship. Instead, attention to the experience of infrastructural ruin positions rural spaces as unique landscapes where engagements with infrastructure play an integral role in shaping the material and cultural composition of contemporary rurality.

Published: May 2022

AimsPersonal health records (PHRs) are more often used for medication reconciliation (MR). However, patients' adoption rate is low. We aimed to provide insight into patients' barriers and facilitators for the usage of a PHR for MR prior to an in‐ or outpatient visit.MethodsA qualitative study was conducted among PHR users and non‐users who had a planned visit at the outpatient rheumatology department or the inpatient cardiology or neurology department. About 1 week after the hospital visit, patients were interviewed about barriers and facilitators for the usage of a PHR for MR using a semi‐structured interview guide based on the theoretical domains framework. Afterwards, data were analysed following thematic analysis.ResultsTen PHR users and non‐users were interviewed. Barriers and facilitators were classified in four domains: patient, application, process and context. We identified 14 barriers including limited (health) literacy and/or computer skills, practical and technical issues, ambiguity about who is responsible (the patient or the healthcare provider) and lack of data exchange and connectivity between applications. Besides that, ten facilitators were identified including being place and time independent, improve usability, target patients who benefit most and/or have sufficient skills, and integration of different applications.ConclusionBarriers and facilitators identified at the patient, application, process and context level, need to be addressed to effectively develop and implement PHRs for MR.
‘If we don't have consent, we need to have beneficence’: Requiring beneficence in nonconsensual neurocorrection
Authors: Dore‐Horgan Emma 
Published: May 2022

AbstractNeurointerventions—interventions that cause direct physical, chemical or biological effects on the brain—are sometimes administered to criminal offenders for the purpose of reducing their recidivism risk and promoting their rehabilitation more generally. Ethical debate on this practice (henceforth called ‘neurocorrection’) has focused on the issue of consent, with some authors defending a consent requirement in neurocorrection and others rejecting this. In this paper, I align with the view that consent might not always be necessary for permissible neurocorrective use, but introduce a qualification I argue ought to inform our ethical and legal analysis of neurocorrection if we are to administer neurocorrectives nonconsensually. I maintain our use of nonconsensual neurocorrection should be constrained by a beneficence requirement—that it should be limited to neurocorrectives that can be expected to benefit those required to undergo them; and my argument is that a beneficence requirement is necessary in order to safeguard against offender abuse. I highlight how we afford a heightened protective role to beneficence in other instances of biomedical intervention where consent is absent or in doubt; and I argue a beneficence requirement is also necessary in the correctional context because alternative candidate protections would provide insufficiently strong safeguards on their own. I then consider whether requiring beneficence in nonconsensual neurocorrection would (a) be incompatible with penal theory, (b) be objectionably paternalistic, or (c) foreclose many fruitful avenues of crime control. I argue in each case that it would not.
Students' privacy concerns in learning analytics: Model development

Published: May 2022

AbstractUnderstanding students' privacy concerns is an essential first step toward effective privacy‐enhancing practices in learning analytics (LA). In this study, we develop and validate a model to explore the students' privacy concerns (SPICE) regarding LA practice in higher education. The SPICE model considersprivacy concernsas a central construct between two antecedents—perceived privacy risk and perceived privacy control, and two outcomes—trusting beliefs and non‐self‐disclosure behaviours. To validate the model, data through an online survey were collected, and 132 students from three Swedish universities participated in the study. Partial least square results show that the model accounts for high variance in privacy concerns, trusting beliefs, and non‐self‐disclosure behaviours. They also illustrate that students' perceived privacy risk is a firm predictor of their privacy concerns. The students' privacy concerns and perceived privacy risk were found to affect their non‐self‐disclosure behaviours. Finally, the results show that the students' perceptions of privacy control and privacy risks determine their trusting beliefs. The study results contribute to understand the relationships between students' privacy concerns, trust and non‐self‐disclosure behaviours in the LA context. A set of relevant implications for LA systems' design and privacy‐enhancing practices' development in higher education is offered.Practitioner notesWhat is already known about this topicAddressing students' privacy is critical for large‐scale learning analytics (LA) implementation.Understanding students' privacy concerns is an essential first step to developing effective privacy‐enhancing practices in LA.Several conceptual, not empirically validated frameworks focus on ethics and privacy in LA.What this paper addsThe paper offers a validated model to explore the nature of students' privacy concerns in LA in higher education.It provides an enhanced theoretical understanding of the relationship between privacy concerns, trust and self‐disclosure behaviour in the LA context of higher education.It offers a set of relevant implications for LA researchers and practitioners.Implications for practice and/or policyStudents' perceptions of privacy risks and privacy control are antecedents of students' privacy concerns, trust in the higher education institution and the willingness to share personal information.Enhancing students' perceptions of privacy control and reducing perceptions of privacy risks are essential for LA adoption and success.Contextual factors that may influence students' privacy concerns should be considered.
