Authors: Iftikhar Rehab , Mawra Khadija 
Published: November 2022

PurposeThis paper focuses on knowledge storage, knowledge accessibility and the associated challenges with these processes in an interorganizational project. For this purpose, the context of the Orange Line (OL) metro train project in Pakistan is examined, where multiple organizations were involved.Design/methodology/approachThis study adopts an exploratory single case study approach. The empirical data comprise semi-structured interviews and archival documents. Thematic analysis is used for analyzing the data.FindingsThe distinct findings include (1) the use of knowledge storage systems, such as manual storage systems, electronic storage systems and assigning a dedicated resource; (2) that knowledge accessibility occurs at different levels within the organization (including intradepartmental and interdepartmental levels) as well as at interorganizational levels and (3) the challenges, such as misuse of knowledge, time pressures, confidentiality of sensitive knowledge, government regulations and the reliance on human memory, which are associated with knowledge storage and knowledge accessibility. Based on the findings, an integrative framework of the interplay between knowledge storage, knowledge accessibility and challenges is proposed.Originality/valueThis paper contributes to the literature on resource-based theory by examining knowledge storage and accessibility in an interorganizational project.
The effects of tie strength and data integration with supply base on supply disruption ambiguity and its impact on inventory turnover
Authors: Pandey Rahul , Chatterjee Dipanjan , Rungtusanatham Manus 
Published: November 2022

PurposeIn this paper, the authors introduce supply disruption ambiguity as the inability of a sourcing firm to attach probability point estimates to the occurrence of and to the magnitude of loss from supply disruptions. The authors drew on the “ambiguity in decision-making” literature to define this concept formally, connected it to relevant supply disruption information deficit, positioned it relative to supply chain risk assessment and hypothesized and tested its negative associations with both supply base ties and inventory turnover.Design/methodology/approachThe authors analysed survey data from 171 North American manufacturers and archival data for a subset (88 publicly listed) of these manufacturers via Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) estimation after ensuring that methodological concerns with survey research have been addressed. They used appropriate controls and employed the heteroskedasticity-based instrumental variable (HBIV) approach to ensure that inferences from our results are not unduly influenced by endogeneity.FindingsStrong supply base ties decrease supply disruption ambiguity, which, in turn, increases inventory turnover. Moreover, strong supply base ties and data integration with the supply base have indirect and positive effects on inventory turnover. As sourcing firms strengthen ties and integrate data exchange with their supply base, their inventory turnover improves from access to information relevant to detect and diagnose supply disruptions effectively.Originality/valueResearch on supply disruption management has paid more attention to the “disruption recovery” stage than to the “disruption discovery” stage. In this paper, the authors add novel insights regarding the recognition and diagnosis aspects of the “disruption discovery” stage. These novel insights reveal how and why sourcing firms reduce their overall ambiguity associated with detecting and assessing losses from supply disruptions through establishing strong ties with their supply base and how and why reducing such ambiguity improves inventory turnover performance.
Colonial legacies on employment: comparisons between some former Anglophone and French colonies
Authors: Neifar Malika 
Published: November 2022

PurposeIn this paper, the author assesses if the effect of structural policies, macroeconomic indicators and demographic factors on employment elasticities over the period 2000–2017 can distinguish the former French colonies from the Anglophone ones.Design/methodology/approachUsing a panel of 44 countries taken from Africa and Middle East Area, elasticities are estimated in the first stage by rolling regression. Then, both static and dynamic panel models are investigated.FindingsResults suggest big difference between the former French colonies and Anglophone ones. For the French colonies, product and labor market flexibility are found to have significant and positive impact on elasticities, while for Anglophone ones, only foreign direct investment and government size are found to have significant and positive impact. Besides, all reforms and/or economic measures need to be complemented by macroeconomic policies aimed to increase economic stability.Originality/valueThe results presented in this study highlight some of the factors that appear to drive the relationship between employment and some structural policies, macroeconomic indicators and demographic factors for two groups of former colonies. The paper provides policy conclusions based on these results for the two groups. This analysis may indeed help to inform future policy discussions, yet much additional work is needed to identify macroeconomic “best practices” for encouraging employment in the post-2019 covid crisis period.
What can philosophy contribute to ‘education to address pornography's influence’?
Authors: McGlynn Aidan 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Responses to the pernicious influences of mainstream pornography on its viewers fall into two main sorts: regulation and education. Pornography has long been a core topic in analytic feminist philosophy, but it has largely focused on issues around regulation, in particular with trying to undermine arguments against regulation on the grounds that pornography should count as protected speech. Here I instead look at some ways that philosophy can contribute to an education-based approach, in particular to what has been called an ‘education to address pornography's influence’. I first argue that philosophical considerations can help to motivate this kind of overall approach to countering pornography's influence, but the main contribution of the paper is to contend that such considerations can also contribute to shaping the kind of content and messaging that such an education should have. I discuss two related issues, focusing on pornographic films. The first concerns the status of pornographic films as fiction; it is misleading and unhelpful to tell teenagers and young adults that pornography is ‘just fiction’, as is sometimes proposed, but it is not clear what more effective and accurate message might be offered instead. The second concerns the ways that pornographic films often present the people (and in particular the women) who perform in them as ideals or archetypes when it comes to what kinds of sexual acts people typically choose and enjoy, which I argue is a neglected form of objectification. I briefly evaluate some suggestive examples of proposed messaging, targeted at teens and young adults.

Published: November 2022

BackgroundOnline communication has become an integral aspect of daily life for young people internationally. Very little research has examined whether the association between social media use and well‐being depends on who young people engage with (i.e. real, or virtual friendships).MethodsData were drawn from a subsample of students (N = 38,736) who took part in the School Health Research Network (SHRN) 2019 Student Health and Well‐being (SHW) survey. A series of multivariable regression models were used to assess the association between who adolescents were communicating with online and well‐being, controlling for confounders: passive social media use; friendship quality; and cyberbullying. We also tested whether these associations were modified based on gender.ResultsStudents are highly engaged on social networking sites, and these sites are used to communicate with existing friendship groups and develop virtual friendships. Frequent online communication with best friends (b = .340, p < .001) and bigger friendship groups (b = .397; p < .001) was associated with higher levels of well‐being. However, the frequency of online contact with virtual friends made online was negatively and significantly associated with well‐being (b = −.760; p < .001), with a larger negative association for girls than boys.ConclusionsOnline communication with virtual friendship networks were associated with lower mental well‐being, with stronger associations for girls than boys; however, frequent online communication with ‘real’ friends was associated with better well‐being. Our results indicate the importance of considering the nature of adolescent online communication, rather than just its quantity, in developing interventions to improve adolescent well‐being.
Non‐thermal process technologies: Influences on nutritional and storage characteristics of millets
Authors: Ramakrishnan Sudha Rani , Antony Usha , Kim Soo‐Jung 
Published: November 2022

AbstractMillets are tiny‐seeded grains that play a crucial part in the mitigation of malnutrition and food insecurity due to global warming, accelerated growth in population, and an economic slowdown. Millets are indigenous climate‐resilient food crops that are processed to achieve enhanced shelf‐stable products along with preservation of their nutritional value. Non‐thermal processing is preferred in this aspect, owing to its minimal undesirable effects. Non‐thermal processing has many advantages over traditional techniques. Food ingredients that are sensitive to heat and chemical treatments can be subjected to non‐thermal processing for microbial disinfection, enzyme inactivation, protein modification, etc. It offers a new generation of value‐added foods with intact bioactive ingredients. This paper presents the recent advances in non‐thermal processing methods used in sorghum, foxtail, kodo, proso, little, pearl, and finger millets. This review consolidates the studies on the effects of mechanical grinding, germination, fermentation, high hydrostatic pressure, ultrasonication, irradiation, pulsed light, light emitting diodes, and cold plasma in the nutritive quality and storage characteristics of millets. Germination, fermentation, high pressure, ultrasonication, irradiation, pulsed‐light, and cold plasma improved the nutritional attributes, free radicals scavenging activity, and sensory characteristics of millets; however, extreme dehulling, milling, and polishing affected the contents of micronutrients, polyphenols, and dietary fiber. The processing methods also reduced the bulk density of millet products in the preparation of weaning and geriatric foods.Practical ApplicationsNon‐thermal techniques are advantageous in terms of in‐package decontamination of raw materials or finished products of millets. This is particularly beneficial for ready‐to‐eat foods as it mitigates recontamination. Understanding the variations in the nutritive quality of millets when subjected to processing can aid the researchers, consumers, and food industries in the selection of a suitable technique to enhance nutrition, improve its bioavailability, and combat nutrition and food insecurity.

On the Development of a Concentric Cylindrical Model for the Deformation-Dependent Electrical Resistivity of Fiber-Reinforced Composites
Authors: Ghazzawi Sultan M. , Tallman Tyler N. 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Sectors such as the aerospace, civil, and automotive industries have experienced increasing demands and applications of fiber-reinforced composites. However, due to their nature of complex and often outwardly invisible failure modes, monitoring fiber-reinforced composites by non-destructive means is important. One way of monitoring these materials is by integrating self-sensing capabilities into the composites through nanofiller modification in order to make use of the piezoresistive effect. In this approach, changes in electrical resistivity are a function of mechanical strains, thereby allowing for intrinsic self-sensing. So far, predictive modeling work in this area has focused predominantly on microscale piezoresistivity. Much less work has considered the effect of the continuous fiber reinforcement, and research on achieving meaningful analytical predictions of resistivity changes in fiber-matrix material systems has been limited. Therefore, to overcome this gap, an analytical model that allows for predicting changes in the resistivity of a material system consisting of both a nanofiller-modified polymer phase and a continuous fiber reinforcement phase is presented. This approach is predicated on the development of an electrical concentric cylindrical model. We start by identifying our analysis domain: concentric cylinders representing a continuous reinforcing fiber surrounded by the nanofiller-modified matrix. Then, by enforcing the law of conservation of electrical charge and by utilizing existent piezoresistivity relations for the nanofiller-modified matrix, the system is homogenized in order to predict the change in the resistivity of the concentric cylinder as a function of applied strains and constituent properties. It is hoped that this preliminary result will be an important building block towards the development of a laminate theory of piezoresistivity.

Abstract
We present a piezoelectric energy harvester that is assembled on a soft robot and converts its mechanical locomotion to electricity. The piezoelectric transducers are used in various applications because of their durability, flexibility, and self-powering characteristics. In this study, we demonstrate a piezoelectric transducer that converts the soft robot’s motion to electricity to provide power for the soft robot sensors such as strain sensors.
The system consists of a piezoelectric strip that is placed on the soft robot. External stimuli provided by pneumatic pressurization actuates the soft robot and moves it forward. The inflation and deflation of the soft robot cause mechanical deformation which results in a voltage generated at the piezoelectric layer. We consider the piezoelectric harvester elongator type mechanism that works by mechanical extension and compression. An AC-DC conversion circuit is used to obtain 1.5–2 V DC output voltage from the piezoelectric harvester to charge a capacitor for use of sensors. AC-DC conversion circuit consists of a resistance in series with the piezoelectric, a full-bridge rectification circuit, and an LM317T voltage regulator. The energy harvesting mechanism offers an alternative power source that reduces the external electrical power requirements of the robot and extends the lifetime of onboard batteries.
Investigation Into Piezoelectric Nanoparticle Dispersion in Polymethyl Methacrylate Bone Cement

Abstract
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is one of the most common orthopedic surgeries performed in the United States. Though most cases of TKA are successful, some cases experience failure after the procedure. Smart implant technology seeks to aid the medical community in identifying failure that may require a revision surgery. Previous work in our research group explored sensing applications aimed at identifying failure in simulated total knee replacements (TKR) by bonding lead zirconate titanate (PZT) wafers to a tibial baseplate implanted in a simulated knee structure with artificial damage applied at the cement interface. Though this application demonstrated success with identifying failure in the simulated TKR system, there are improvements that can be made to the system. One improvement that must be made is the use of lead-free sensors in the biomedical system. Another possible improvement to the system is to relocate the piezoelectric sensor to the cement interface. A proposed method to implement these improvements is to develop a specialized sensing system with the specific application of joint replacements in mind, and more specifically, a sensing system in which the bone cement acts as the sensor. This study explores the idea of developing a piezoelectric nanocomposite in which bone cement is the primary material. The specialized piezoelectric nanocomposite is developed by adding barium titanate (BT) nanoparticles to the typical components of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) bone cement at various weight percentages of BT. The composite cement is then formed and cured into samples to be tested for compression strength. It must be shown that the suspension of barium titanate within the PMMA bone cement matrix does not compromise the mechanical properties of the cured cement. If the compression strength falls below 70 MPa, the cement will no longer meet the requirements of the ASTM standard for PMMA bone cement.

Published: November 2022

Abstract
The demand for acoustic wave-based devices has been rapidly increasing in the aerospace, chemical, and biological fields due to their versatility towards sensing measurands. This paper explores the characteristics and effectiveness of acoustic wave-based two-port sensors designed with bidirectional IDT electrodes placed in different configurations, such as surface mounted or embedded inside the substrate, through numerical and experimental analysis. The numerical study involves 3D modeling of the sensor design to investigate wave characteristics by utilizing time-domain, i.e., time delay and wave patterns, and frequency-domain analysis, i.e., scattering parameter study. The sensor made of polyvinylidene fluoride polymer is modeled to ensure the concordance between the theoretical and numerical results as well as a preliminary experimental result obtained from transparent piezoelectric films. The coupling of modes theoretical model is used to obtain the device’s frequency response by a transmission matrix cascading technique. These investigated results will stand as guidance and facilitate defining an approach that can predict the behavior of the sensor with a specific design under different operating environments and expand its viability towards multi-functional devices that are reliable and sensitive to intended measurands.
Strain Based Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) With Synchronous Electric Charge Extraction (SECE)
Authors: Germer Maxim , Marschner Uwe , Richter Andreas 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Energy harvesting (EH) for tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMSs) is a key element to make tire sensors self-sufficient and to raise the features of vehicle tires to a next level. This work studies the commercially available piezoelectric flat transducers M2807-P1, M2807-P2 from SmartMaterials and P878.A1 and P876.SP1 from PI Ceramics to use the tire strain and to generate electrical energy inside the tire. An equivalent electromechanical network with the strain as input signal is derived and used to predict the voltage at the harvester output. A 220 μF capacitor is connected to store the harvested energy. In contrast to the common use of full-wave rectifiers, this work uses a synchronous electric charge extraction (SECE) circuit for efficient energy transfer. An electronic breaker (EB) serves as a simple implementation with discrete components. Although an EB provides only an efficiency of 40 %, it increases the amount of transferred energy significantly compared to state-of-the-art TPMS systems. Experimental results show an increase of the harvested energy of more than 200 % compared to former works.

AbstractThis work deals with the applications of thermodynamical geometries on conformal gravity black holes (CGBH) consisting of conformal parametersaandk. The stability of black hole (BH) addressed with the aid of small, middle, large and divergency roots, respectively. For this purpose, graphical behavior of heat capacity and temperature versus horizon radius is presented which help us to show the stability conditions. Further, studied the different geometries like Weinhold, Ruppeiner, Geometrothermodynamics (GTD) and Hendi-Panahiyah-Eslam-Momennia (HPEM), and found relationship between divergency of scalar curvature and zeros of heat capacity. As a result, it is noticed that Ruppeiner, HPEM and GTD metric exhibit more important information as compared to Weinhold.
A Dynamic Analysis of Women’s Labour Force Participation in Urban India
Authors: Menon Rahul , Nath Paaritosh 
Published: November 2022

AbstractThe introduction of the Periodic Labour Force Survey (PLFS) heralded a methodological innovation for the study of Indian labour, allowing the researcher to build panels tracking urban individuals over a year. Using two rounds of the PLFS covering the periods 2017–18 and 2018–19, we construct a pooled panel of urban Indian individuals aged 15–65 and focus on women’s experiences in the labour force. We find evidence of low dynamism in the Indian economy, with women facing significant difficulties regarding labour force participation. While a majority of women remain outside the labour force throughout the year, those who do participate face significant disadvantages. Job-finding rates for women are half that of men, indicating weak demand for women’s labour in the economy. Women face significant exits from both employment and unemployment, with nearly 18% of employed women leaving their jobs and moving to non-participation over the year. Women’s relative disadvantages persist even when age and education are considered, with the lowest job-finding rates seen for young and graduate women, and rates of labour force exit much higher than that of men. This paper highlights the importance of looking at demand side questions when it comes to examining women’s labour force participation.
