Published: August 2022

PurposeInverse distance weighted (IDW) functions are utilized to make models of heterogenous materials such as functionally graded materials (FGM) in computer aided design (CAD). However, the use of IDW function based FGM for stress concentration reduction is scarcely available in the literature. The present work aims to analyze and reduce the stress concentration around a circular hole in IDW function-based finite FGM panel under biaxial loading.Design/methodology/approachExtended finite element method (XFEM) model was prepared using MATLAB to investigate the effect of geometrical and material parameters on the stress concentration factor (SCF). The obtained results of IDW FGM are compared with homogeneous material as well as two different FGMs based on the power-law function.FindingsIt was observed that the IDW function based FGM is simple in material modeling, conformal with all domain boundaries and shows lower stress concentration in comparison with the homogeneous material case. While comparing IDW FGM with power-law based FGMs, it was observed that the IDW FGM has least values of stress concentration for low d/W (diameter of the hole to panel width ratio) and is comparable with power-law based FGMs for high d/W.Originality/valueIt can be stated that IDW FGM is highly suitable for stress concentration reduction in finite panels with d/W = 0.5, which can further be intended for obtaining optimum hole and panel designs.
Alternatives for business school governance: charting untapped research territory
Authors: Butler Frank C. , Burke-Smalley Lisa A. 
Published: August 2022

Purpose
With today’s business faculty being tasked with making meaningful contributions to their community, corporate stakeholders, as well as in research and student learning, this makes faculty engagement and performance outputs key to metrics of college success. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to understand how faculty engage in shared governance at the college level is important to ensure success of the college.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors searched for research that examined governance structures in colleges of business and found this has received scant attention. After reviewing the research examining university governance, the authors evaluate how faculty engage in shared governance at the college level.

Findings
The authors identify four categories of decision-making that often involve shared governance and outline different shared governance options for colleges of business, along with their pros and cons. The authors posit that the most appropriate governance approach for a college of business depends upon the college’s external environment, culture and other contextual dimensions. Finally, guidance for future research and practice, including considerations for changing governance, is provided.

Originality/value
How colleges of business operationalize their governance structures has received scant attention in the management literature.
Flourishing-at-work and turnover intentions: does trust in management moderate the relationship?
Authors: Naim Mohammad Faraz , Ozyilmaz Adnan 
Published: August 2022

PurposeBased on the theoretical underpinnings of the theory of work adjustment and social exchange framework, the authors contend that an employee's trust in management (TIM) will interact with the flourishing-at-work (FAW) to predict turnover intentions (TIs). Specifically, the authors assumed that FAW will have a stronger negative effect on TIs, given the greater degree of TIM.Design/methodology/approachLeveraging a cross-sectional survey design and data gathered from 587 IT professionals working in India, the findings revealed that FAW negatively predicted TIs. More importantly, TIM accentuates or moderates the negative relationship between FAW and TIs.FindingsSpecifically, TIM was found to have a significant moderating effect on the relationship between (1) psychological well-being (PWB) and TIs, (2) social well-being and TIs. Interestingly, a nonsignificant moderating effect was observed on the relationship between emotional well-being (EWB) and TIs.Research limitations/implicationsThe research findings of this study might be context-specific as the IT industry in India generally has high attrition, so obviously, a higher TIs is expected from IT professionals. Therefore, future studies should explore a different industry may be manufacturing and so on, to test the current study's research framework.Practical implicationsThese are highly important contributions to the extant scholarship on FAW, as the study offers new wisdom into how FAW influences TIs under the contingent effect of TIM.Originality/valueThis is the first of its kind study to explore the moderating role of TIM on the link between FAW and employees' TIs.

Purpose
This study aims to provide guidelines for exploring the research landscape in developing countries by gauging the prospects of growth, research impact and innovation. This study interrogates, analyses and visualizes the impact, nuances and evolution of stated research themes. For this purpose, this study presents an in-depth analysis of publications and citations indexed in Pakistani journals as a case study.

Design/methodology/approach
A bibliometric analysis of 46,034 publications published in Pakistan-based journals uncovers the research landscape of Scopus-indexed scientific literature – using various statistical and network-based approaches. Using VOSviewer and SPSS tools, the publication data has been analysed in relation to the open access status of papers, the number of authors, discipline, research theme and international co-authorship.

Findings
This study’s analyses reveal that while Pakistani journals are attracting international contributions from several countries, including India, Malaysia and Indonesia, no journal falls into the Scopus-defined top Quartile, i.e. the Q1 category. The analyses also highlight that only half (47%) of the publications received citations, whereas the other half remained uncited. Furthermore, open access publications received significantly higher citations than subscribed/traditional publications (print/online subject to toll access).

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first impact study of its kind that critically analyses the research landscape of Pakistani journals, especially in the context of the efforts of the higher education commission of Pakistan to promote research culture in the country. This study also provides analytical insights and policy guidelines for improving the quality of research published in Pakistani journals. This study can be replicated for other developing nations to provide guidelines and sustainable pathways for scientific growth in pursuit of uplifting nations by allocating resources for developing science and technology.
Intraspecific variation in growth‐related traits—from leaf to whole‐tree—in three provenances of Cryptomeria japonica canopy trees grown in a common garden

Published: August 2022

AbstractTo elucidate the physiological and morphological factors underlying intraspecific variation in growth rate, we examined the variation in leaf and whole‐tree traits for three geographical variations of ca. 45‐year‐old Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica D. Don) with contrasting heights and radial growth in a common garden. Traits that reflect leaf‐level photosynthesis, water relations, and whole‐tree level crown structure in relation to light use and hydraulic architecture were measured. Overall, intraspecific variation in growth characteristics in field‐grown adult trees was regulated by whole‐tree properties rather than leaf properties. Most leaf traits were similar among provenances. Nevertheless, the leaf traits exhibited highest maximum net photosynthetic rate, dark respiration rate, and light compensation point in provenances whose native habitats are most similar to the common garden in the present study. Together with previous reports that this provenance has higher root nutrient acquisition capacity than the other two provenances, it can be said that organ‐level resource use strategies are coupled in a tandem manner. At the whole‐tree level, hydraulic architecture—as explained by axial variation in the hydraulically weighted tracheid diameter—can be linked to leaf distribution with respect to light use strategies as well as water transport capacity, leading to differences in growth characteristics among provenances. The study of intraspecific variation in growth characteristics in trees with a wide range of native habitats is expected to be a useful indicator for predicting changes in growth potential and forest dynamics in response to climate change in each habitat.
Perchlorate‐specific proteomic stress responses of Debaryomyces hansenii could enable microbial survival in Martian brines

Published: August 2022

AbstractIf life exists on Mars, it would face several challenges including the presence of perchlorates, which destabilize biomacromolecules by inducing chaotropic stress. However, little is known about perchlorate toxicity for microorganisms on the cellular level. Here, we present the first proteomic investigation on the perchlorate‐specific stress responses of the halotolerant yeast Debaryomyces hansenii and compare these to generally known salt stress adaptations. We found that the responses to NaCl and NaClO4‐induced stresses share many common metabolic features, for example, signalling pathways, elevated energy metabolism, or osmolyte biosynthesis. Nevertheless, several new perchlorate‐specific stress responses could be identified, such as protein glycosylation and cell wall remodulations, presumably in order to stabilize protein structures and the cell envelope. These stress responses would also be relevant for putative life on Mars, which—given the environmental conditions—likely developed chaotropic defence strategies such as stabilized confirmations of biomacromolecules or the formation of cell clusters.

Published: August 2022

AbstractObjectivesThere are currently limited data to inform the management of patients transported by emergency medical services (EMS) with dyspnoea. We aimed to describe the incidence, aetiology and outcomes of patients transported by EMS for dyspnoea using a large population‐based sample and to identify factors associated with 30‐day mortality.MethodsConsecutive EMS attendances for dyspnoea in Victoria, Australia from January 2015 to June 2019 were included. Data were individually linked to hospital and mortality records to determine incidence, diagnoses, and outcomes. Factors associated with 30‐day mortality were assessed using multivariable logistic regression.ResultsDuring the study period, there were 2 505 324 cases attended by EMS, of whom 346 228 (14%) met inclusion criteria for dyspnoea. The incidence of EMS attendances for dyspnoea was 1566 per 100 000 person‐years, and was higher in females, older patients and socially disadvantaged areas. Of the 271 204 successfully linked cases (median age 76 years; 51% women), 79% required hospital admission with a 30‐day mortality of 9%. The most common final diagnoses (and 30‐day mortality rates) were lower respiratory tract infection (13%, mortality 11%), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (13%, mortality 6.4%), heart failure (9.1%, mortality 9.8%), arrhythmias (3.9%, mortality 4.4%), acute coronary syndromes (3.9%, mortality 9.5%) and asthma (3.2%, mortality 0.5%). Predictors of mortality included older age, male sex, pre‐existing chronic kidney disease, heart failure or cancer, abnormal respiratory status or vital signs and pre‐hospital intubation.ConclusionDyspnoea is a common presentation with a broad range of causes and is associated with high rates of hospitalisation and death.

Published: August 2022

AbstractThe economical production of 5‐aminolevulinic acid (ALA) has recently received increasing attention for its extensive use in agriculture. In this study, a strain of Bacillus cereus PT1 could initially produce ALA at a titre of 251.72 mg/L by using a hydrolysate mixture of low‐cost cassava residue and fish waste. The integration of endogenous hemA encoding glutamyl‐tRNA reductase led to a 39.30% increase in ALA production. Moreover, improving cell permeability by deletion of the LytR‐CpsA‐Psr (LCP) family gene tagU led to a further increase of 59.73% in ALA production. Finally, the engineered strain B. cereus PT1‐hemA‐ΔtagU produced 2.62 g/L of ALA from the previously mentioned hydrolysate mixture in a 7‐L bioreactor. In a pot experiment, foliar spray of the ALA produced by B. cereus PT1‐hemA‐ΔtagU from the hydrolysates increased salt tolerance of cucumber by improving chlorophyll content and catalase activity, while decreasing malondialdehyde content. Overall, this study demonstrated an economic way to produce ALA using a microbial platform and evidenced the potential of ALA in agricultural application.

Published: August 2022

AbstractPLA (3‐D‐phenyllactic acid) is an ideal antimicrobial and immune regulatory compound present in honey and fermented foods. Sporolactobacillus inulinus is regarded as a potent D‐PLA producer that reduces phenylpyruvate (PPA) with D‐lactate dehydrogenases. In this study, PLA was produced by whole‐cell bioconversion of S. inulinus ATCC 15538. Three genes encoding D‐lactate dehydrogenase (d‐ldh1, d‐ldh2, and d‐ldh3) were cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3), and their biochemical and structural properties were characterized. Consequently, a high concentration of pure D‐PLA (47 mM) was produced with a high conversion yield of 88%. Among the three enzymes, D‐LDH1 was responsible for the efficient conversion of PPA to PLA with kinetic parameters of Km (0.36 mM), kcat (481.10 s−1), and kcat/Km (1336.39 mM−1 s−1). In silico structural analysis and site‐directed mutagenesis revealed that the Ile307 in D‐LDH1 is a key residue for excellent PPA reduction with low steric hindrance at the substrate entrance. This study highlights that S. inulinus ATCC 15538 is an excellent PLA producer, equipped with a highly specific and efficient D‐LDH1 enzyme.

Published: August 2022

AbstractBackgroundWe aimed to study the outcomes of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) in patients with a history of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in Iran, where most patients receive corticosteroids and are at high risk for COVID‐19 infection.MethodWe collected the demographic, diagnostic, and treatment data of all COVID‐19 patients by the clinical COVID‐19 registry system. We recruited 38 RA patients and 2216 non‐RA patients from the COVID‐19 registry. The primary outcome was mortality due to COVID‐19. We also studied the risk of intensive care unit admission and intubation in RA patients compared to non‐RA patients. We used multiple logistic regression analysis to study the association between RA and the risk of COVID‐19 outcomes.ResultWe recruited 38 RA patients and 2216 non‐RA patients from the COVID‐19 registry. The RA patients had a higher mean age (59.9 years) than the non‐RA patients (57.7 years). The group of RA patients had a larger proportion of women (76.3%) than the non‐RA patients (40.8%). The death rate due to COVID‐19 was significantly higher in RA patients than non‐RA patients (odds ratio [OR] = 2.69, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.24‐5.81). The OR was higher among those who received prednisolone than among those who did not (OR = 3.59, 95% CI = 1.54‐7.81). The odds of intubation were statistically significant among patients who received corticosteroid therapy (OR = 2.58, 95% CI = 1.07‐6.18).ConclusionThe risk of COVID‐19 outcomes was higher in RA patients than non‐RA patients, especially for RA patients who received a low dose of prednisolone. The results of this study can be used to triage RA patients who get infected by COVID‐19. Further studies with larger sample sizes are required to more precisely define the high‐risk groups.
Progressing dementia risk reduction initiatives for culturally and linguistically diverse older adults in Australia
Authors: Patel Dhvani , Montayre Jed , Karamacoska Diana , Siette Joyce 
Published: August 2022

AbstractObjectivesDementia is a global public health concern, with approximately 487,500 Australians living with this condition. As an incurable disease, collaborative public health approaches are at the forefront for risk reduction of dementia. In Australia, nearly one in three individuals older than 65 years belong to culturally and linguistically diverse populations (CALD), yet dementia prevention approaches within CALD communities remain limited. Current health services and education require a targeted multidimensional and multicultural approach for dementia prevention interventions.MethodsRecent recognition of gaps in CALD dementia awareness and accessibility has instigated a range of initiatives that address language disparities and dementia literacy within Australia's older population. While these have created pockets of dementia awareness and health promotion, a ‘whole of community’ and government approach is needed to decrease the recognised modifiable risk factors of dementia.ResultsThis work serves to identify effective methods to promote dementia risk factor reduction using behaviour change techniques through five key recommendations specific for CALD communities. These suggestions are covered by the need for federal funds to be allocated to specific culturally inclusive initiatives highlighted under primary care, public health, research and community sectors.ConclusionsKey recommendations are created to address language disparities and dementia literacy in Australia's older population to aid healthy brain ageing for CALD older adults.
“We are the living dead”, or, the Precarious Stabilisation of Liminal Life in the Presence of CKDu
Authors: Senanayake Nari 
Published: August 2022

AbstractThis article examines how everyday encounters with kidney disease treatment in Sri Lanka’s dry zone generate distinct space‐times of liminality. Building on work that explores the alternative coordinates of biopolitical intervention, I argue that health improvement schemes in the dry zone yield complex materialisations of “living death” in conditions of austerity, poverty, and aridity. Specifically, I illustrate how intervention reconfigures body‐ecologies, dismantles infrastructures of liveability, and re‐works relations between life and time in order to stabilise liminal forms of existence. Drawing on 15 months of ethnographic data, I describe two space‐times of liminality that emerge through experiences of treatment: the “zombie” and “life in the bubble”. As part of my analysis, I document how these bodily states are ambiguously configured by experiences of care. Across these encounters, I illustrate how patients toggle back and forth between states of debility and capacity in ways that blur boundaries between life/death and bodies/environments.
