Using Business Analytics for SME Business Model Transformation under Pandemic Time Pressure
Authors: Zamani Efpraxia D. , Griva Anastasia , Conboy Kieran 
Published: March 2022

AbstractThe COVID-19 pandemic has had an unprecedented impact on many industry sectors, forcing many companies and particularly Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs) to fundamentally change their business models under extreme time pressure. While there are claims that technologies such as analytics can help such rapid transitions, little empirical research exists that shows if or how Business Analytics (BA) supports the adaptation or innovation of SMEs’ business models, let alone within the context of extreme time pressure and turbulence. This study addresses this gap through an exemplar case, where the SME actively used location-based business analytics for rapid business model adaptation and innovation during the Covid-19 crisis. The paper contributes to existing theory by providing a set of propositions, an agenda for future research and a guide for SMEs to assess and implement their own use of analytics for business model transformation.

AbstractThis study investigates the effectiveness of a 6-month parent-mediated early intervention telehealth program for children with an autism spectrum disorder. The participants comprised a total of 27 parents. The findings showed that participation in the program promotes parents’ empowerment and reduce parental stress and a general improvement in the parents’ ability to stimulate children’s learning. Moreover, the study reveals an effect of parents’ age in mediating the relationship among the parents’ ability, stress, and empowerment levels. These results suggest that an early intervention telehealth program may help parents become aware of how to benefit from interactions with their children, promote their empowerment, and reduce parenting stress.

AbstractSchizophrenia is a psychiatric condition with chronic evolution, one of the most disabling diseases. The main cause for the disease’s progression is considered to be the lack of compliance with the treatment. Long-acting injectable antipsychotics (LAIs) are an important treatment option for patients with schizophrenia. Olanzapine long-acting injection (OLZ-LAI) is a pamoate monohydrate salt of olanzapine that is administered by deep intramuscular gluteal injection. The aim of this paper is to report the effects of a sudden and unplanned switch from olanzapine long-acting injectable to oral olanzapine in remitted patients with schizophrenia due to restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. An observational study conducted in the Clinical Hospital of Psychiatry and Neurology of Brasov, Romania between April 2020 and March 2021. 27 patients with OLZ-LAI were entered into the study. Of 27 cases, 21 patients preferred to be switched to oral olanzapine (77.77%). Only 6 patients continued with the long-acting formulation. The main reason for the initiation of olanzapine pamoate in all the patients was non-adherence to oral medication (80.95%), and the mean age of starting LAI olanzapine was 36.42 years (SD ± 10.09). Within the following 12 months after switching from olanzapine LAI to OA, 15 patients (71.42%) relapsed, and 12 were admitted to the emergency psychiatric unit. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought multiple disservices to current medical practice. Sudden and unplanned switch from olanzapine long-acting formulation to oral olanzapine was followed by the high rate of relapse in remitted schizophrenia.
The association between topic growth and citation impact of research publications
Authors: Sjögårde Peter , Didegah Fereshteh 
Published: March 2022

AbstractCitations are used for research evaluation, and it is therefore important to know which factors influence or associate with citation impact of articles. Several citation factors have been studied in the literature. In this study we propose a new factor, topic growth, that no previous study has studied empirically. The growth rate of topics may influence future citation counts because a high growth in a topic means there are more publications citing previous publications in that topic. We construct topics using community detection in a citation network and use a two-part regression model to study the association between topic growth and citation counts in eight broad disciplines. The first part of the model uses quantile regression to estimate the effect of growth ratio on citation counts for publications with more than three citations. The second part of the model uses logistic regression to model the influence of the explanatory variables on the probability of being lowly cited versus being modestly or highly cited. Both models control for three variables that may distort the association between the topic growth and citations: journal impact, number of references, and number of authors. The regression model clearly shows that publications in fast-growing topics have a citation advantage compared to publications in slow-growing or declining topics in all of the eight disciplines. Using citation indicators for research evaluation may give incentives for researchers to publish in fast-growing topics, but they may cause research to be less diversified. The results have also some implications for citation normalization.
A Continuum Mathematical Model of Substrate-Mediated Tissue Growth
Authors: El-Hachem Maud , McCue Scott W. , Simpson Matthew J. 
Published: March 2022

AbstractWe consider a continuum mathematical model of biological tissue formation inspired by recent experiments describing thin tissue growth in 3D-printed bioscaffolds. The continuum model, which we call thesubstrate model, involves a partial differential equation describing the density of tissue,$${\hat{u}}(\hat{{\mathbf {x}}},{\hat{t}})$$u^(x^,t^)that is coupled to the concentration of an immobile extracellular substrate,$${\hat{s}}(\hat{{\mathbf {x}}},{\hat{t}})$$s^(x^,t^). Cell migration is modelled with a nonlinear diffusion term, where the diffusive flux is proportional to$${\hat{s}}$$s^, while a logistic growth term models cell proliferation. The extracellular substrate$${\hat{s}}$$s^is produced by cells and undergoes linear decay. Preliminary numerical simulations show that this mathematical model is able to recapitulate key features of recent tissue growth experiments, including the formation of sharp fronts. To provide a deeper understanding of the model we analyse travelling wave solutions of the substrate model, showing that the model supports both sharp-fronted travelling wave solutions that move with a minimum wave speed,$$c = c_{\mathrm{min}}$$c=cmin, as well as smooth-fronted travelling wave solutions that move with a faster travelling wave speed,$$c > c_{\mathrm{min}}$$c>cmin. We provide a geometric interpretation that explains the difference between smooth and sharp-fronted travelling wave solutions that is based on a slow manifold reduction of the desingularised three-dimensional phase space. In addition, we also develop and test a series of useful approximations that describe the shape of the travelling wave solutions in various limits. These approximations apply to both the sharp-fronted and smooth-fronted travelling wave solutions. Software to implement all calculations is available atGitHub.
Clinching of inductively heated aluminum die casting

AbstractThe aim of the investigations described in this article is to improve the clinching of aluminum die casting. The focus is on clinching an aluminum die casting alloy by local heat treatment and hence to join them in a process-safe manner. For this purpose, a heating strategy is used to warm up the die casting alloys to reduce temporarily and reversibly the elongation and the yield strength in the material. In preliminary investigations, three different heating strategies (heating plate, resistance heating and inductive heating) have been investigated. Induction heating has been selected as the most suitable method due to the short heating time and the production of crack-free clinch points. In this paper, two clinching tool systems (one with a flexible die, one with a rigid die) were used. For these tools, two inductors with different diameter were manufactured. The effects of each inductor and clinching tool on an aluminum die casting alloy, such as heating time and crack behavior, were investigated. Surface images of the clinch points in regard to the heat treatment temperature were analyzed. Furthermore, the characteristic parameters of the joints such as interlock, bottom thickness and neck thickness were examined. In addition, the strength of the joined parts was investigated by head tension tests. The results of the developed method showed that it is possible to produce crack-free clinching joints below 6 s. Furthermore, the local heating led to an increasing interlock resulting in a 26% increase of the head tensile strength.
Petrophysical properties of the Mamuniyat Formation for hydrocarbon potentiality in “A” Oil Field, NC115 Concession of Murzuq Basin, Libya
Authors: Mohamed Adel K. , Beshr Ahmed M. 
Published: March 2022

AbstractThe Mamuniyat sandstones represent the main reservoir in the “A” Oil Field, NC115 Concession, Murzuq Basin of Libya. As a result, the primary objectives of the current work are to evaluate and define the Mamuniyat Formation’s petrophysical parameters using well-logging analysis. For this study, the available well-logging data from ten exploratory wells were provided. Several cross-plots were used to evaluate the lithologic constituents and fluid saturations in the form of litho-saturation cross-plots, and their output parameters were fed as inputs for Interactive Petrophysics (IP) software. According to the output results, the Mamuniyat Formation is primarily composed of sandstones with a few shales. These sandstones are generally fine- to coarse-grained, as indicated by the cross-plots, with a coarsening-upward sequence. According to the litho-saturation analysis, the Mamuniyat Formation is primarily oil-bearing with some levels of water-bearing sand. The petrophysical parameters derived from well-logging data agree with those derived from core sample analysis, demonstrating that the Mamuniyat Formation is a good reservoir.
Managing the complexity of digital transformation—How multiple concurrent initiatives foster hybrid ambidexterity

Published: March 2022

AbstractIncumbent companies are launching digital transformation initiatives (DTIs) to cope with technological changes, challenging competitive environments, increasing customer demands, and other digitalization challenges. The DTI spectrum is broad and covers structural and contextual changes. Companies often launch multiple. concurrent DTIs, resulting in considerable organizational complexity. However, there has been very little research into the successful management of the interplay between DTIs. Drawing on five management aspects (strategic alignment, governance, methods/IT, people, and culture) and insights from three case companies, we elucidate DTIs’ interplay, illustrating that beneficial DTI interplay management leads to a complementary duality instead of a competing dualism in organizational ambidexterity. We explicate that multiple concurrent DTIs can foster structural and contextual ambidexterity, which leads to hybrid ambidexterity, concluding that contextual ambidexterity coheres and balances exploration and exploitation efforts. Thereby, we contribute to a better understanding of DTIs, their interplay management, and their roles to foster hybrid ambidexterity.
Positive peritoneal swab in SARS-CoV-2 patients undergoing abdominal emergency surgery: effect or cause?

Published: March 2022

Abstract
Purpose
The presence of the SARS-CoV-2 in the peritoneal fluid is a matter of debate in the COVID-19 literature. The study aimed to report the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 in the peritoneal fluid of patients with nasopharyngeal swab tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 undergoing emergency surgery and review the literature.

Methods
The present study was conducted between March 2020 and June 2021. Diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 positivity was confirmed by preoperative real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).

Results
Eighteen patients with positive nasopharyngeal swabs were operated in emergency in two third-level Italian hospitals. In 13 of these patients (72%), a peritoneal swab was analyzed: SARS-CoV-2 RNA was found in the abdominal fluid of two patients (15%). Neither of them had visceral perforation and one patient died. In ten patients with negative peritoneal swabs, visceral perforation and mortality rates were 30% and 20%, respectively.

Conclusion
SARS-CoV-2 peritoneal positivity is rare. Abdominal surgery can, therefore, be safely performed in patients with COVID-19 using standard precautions. The correlation with a visceral perforation is not evaluable. The clinical outcomes seem uninfluenced by the viral colonization of the peritoneum. Assessment in large series to provide definitive answers about the involvement of the SARS-CoV-2 in the peritoneum will be challenging to coordinate.
The diffusion of goods with multiple characteristics and price premiums: an agent-based model
Authors: Lopez-Merino Pedro , Rouchier Juliette 
Published: March 2022

AbstractAccording to innovation diffusion theories, the adoption of a new product is the result of a dynamic process whereby individuals become likelier to adopt as others do. Agent-based modelling has emerged as a useful technique to model and study processes of innovation diffusion within artificial societies, as it allows to easily programme and simulate the interaction of multiple agents among them and with their environment. Despite a large body of literature dealing with innovation of diffusions, including the use of agent-based modelling, there has been little to no consideration of two elements that are important features of consumption: the presence of multiple characteristics of goods, and that of price-premiums on the presence of added characteristics. We propose an agent-based model of the diffusion of such goods, and study its emerging properties when compared to standard ones. Our goal is to try and understand how social interaction affects the consumption of goods that are complex rather than uni-dimensional, and whose prices depend on the number of dimensions (characteristics) that are present. Testing the model for different parameters shows that as goods become more complex, social interaction becomes an increasingly important explanatory variable for purchases. This opens up interesting avenues of discussion for those seeking to bring together innovation diffusion theories and goods’ complexity, and can be linked with a number of issues in the social and sustainability sciences.

AbstractLet N be a zero-symmetric (right) nearring with identity. We introduce a partial order in the matrix nearring corresponding to the partial order (defined by Pilz in Near-rings: the theory and its applications, North Holland, Amsterdam, 1983) in N. A positive cone in a matrix nearring is defined and a characterization theorem is obtained. For a convex ideal I in N, we prove that the corresponding ideal $${I^*}$$

Sustainability of a well-established hand hygiene program during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic
Authors: Stancill Lisa B. , Sickbert-Bennett Emily E. , DiBiase Lauren M. 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
Overall, engagement and compliance from the crowd-sourced hand hygiene observation program, Clean-In-Clean-Out (CICO), were similar between 2019 (96.6%) and 2020 (96.7%) despite fluctuations within 2020 that reflected our hospital’s coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) experience. Shared responsibility and just-in-time reminders can allow manual hand hygiene observation models to be sustainable.
Reclaiming the Human Rights Foundations of the UN Standards of Conduct for Business on Tackling Discrimination against LGBTI People
Authors: Lyons Amanda , Christiancy Cooper 
Published: March 2022

AbstractThe business and human rights field and the international LGBTI human rights agenda have evolved almost entirely separately. The United Nations ‘Standards of Conduct for Business on Tackling Discrimination against LGBTI People’ (2017) is the primary effort to bridge this gap. Although drafted in a way that strongly aligns with the second pillar of the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights on corporate responsibility, the dissemination of the Standards has mainly been untethered from the human rights framework and system. This article identifies the need to reassert the human rights foundations of the Standards and leverage their existing momentum to set out a more robust research and policy agenda for meaningfully accounting for sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, and sex characteristics in business and human rights frameworks. To that end, the article sets out priority areas for greater attention from researchers, decision-makers and advocates.
Enough of the ‘Snake Oil’: Applying a Business and Human Rights Lens to the Sexual and Reproductive Wellness Industry
Authors: Patton Clare , McVey Marisa , Hackett Ciara 
Published: March 2022

AbstractThe female sexual and reproductive wellness industry is flourishing, valued at around US$4.5trn globally. Heavily focused on the female reproductive life cycle, products are marketed to women and girls from puberty through to the menopausal years, with medically unsubstantiated claims that can fail to deliver on promises made and leave damaging physical and psychological side-effects. In this article we ask: do the harms caused by the sexual and reproductive wellness industry fall within the boundaries of business and human rights (BHR) scholarship? We establish the landscape of the industry, identify human rights relating to sexual and reproductive healthcare and education, and use BHR literature to make the case that the industry should be placed on the BHR research agenda so that the various tools used in BHR such as the law, corporate governance, and the weight of public consciousness, can be applied to encourage appropriate regulation of this industry.
Demystifying college costs: how nudges can and can't help
Authors: Linos Elizabeth , Reddy Vikash , Rothstein Jesse 
Published: March 2022

AbstractAs US college costs continue to rise, governments and institutions have quadrupled financial aid. Yet, the administrative process of receiving financial aid remains complex, raising costs for families and deterring students from enrolling. In two large-scale field experiments (N = 265,570), we test the impact of nudging high-school seniors in California to register for state scholarships. We find that simplifying communication and affirming belonging each significantly increase registrations, by 9% and 11%, respectively. Yet, these nudges do not impact the final step of the financial aid process – receiving the scholarship. In contrast, a simplified letter that affirms belonging while also making comparable cost calculations more salient significantly impacts college choice, increasing enrollment in the lowest net cost option by 10.4%. Our findings suggest that different nudges are likely to address different types of administrative burdens, and their combination may be the most effective way to shift educational outcomes.
Crevasse advection increases glacier calving
Authors: Berg Brandon , Bassis Jeremy 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
Iceberg calving, the process where icebergs detach from glaciers, remains poorly understood. Moreover, few parameterizations of the calving process can easily be integrated into numerical models to accurately capture observations, resulting in large uncertainties in projected sea level rise. Recent efforts have focused on estimating crevasse depths assuming tensile failure occurs when crevasses fully penetrate the glacier thickness. However, these approaches often ignore the role of advecting crevasses on calculations of crevasse depth. Here, we examine a more general crevasse depth calving model that includes crevasse advection. We apply this model to idealized prograde and retrograde bed geometries as well as a prograde geometry with a sill. Neglecting crevasse advection results in steady glacier advance and ice tongue formation for all ice temperatures, sliding law coefficients and constant slope bed geometries considered. In contrast, crevasse advection suppresses ice tongue formation and increases calving rates, leading to glacier retreat. Furthermore, crevasse advection allows a grounded calving front to stabilize on top of sills. These results suggest that crevasse advection can radically alter calving rates and hint that future parameterizations of fracture and failure need to more carefully consider the lifecycle of crevasses and the role this plays in the calving process.
Taking market crime seriously
Authors: Farmer Lindsay 
Published: March 2022

AbstractThere has been a transformation in the number and the scope of criminal laws relating to forms of market misconduct. Surprisingly, however, this area of criminal law is not one that has been systematically explored in recent writing about criminalisation. However, concepts such as white-collar crime, or financial crime, which are widely used to describe this area, are poorly defined and offer little analytic clarity. This paper argues that to take market crimes seriously it is necessary to focus on what is distinctive about markets and about market misconduct as a form of wrongdoing. This allows us to see the area as a whole and identify certain common features based on central institutional features of markets and the role that criminal law has played in protecting them – notably ensuring competition, preventing exploitation, and embedding trust. This approach, then, can be a means of raising wider questions about our understanding of the relationship between criminal law and the market in modern society – and the role that criminal law can or should play in regulating those markets.
