Nexus among big data analytics, environmental process integration and environmental performance: moderating role of digital learning orientation and environmental strategy
Authors: Abu Afifa Malik Muneer , Nguyen Nha Minh 
Published: October 2022

Purpose
This study aims to examine the influence of big data analytics (BDA) on environmental performance (ENP) in the post-COVID-19 context in Vietnam, as a developing country. In which, this study considers environmental process integration in accounting reports as a mediator variable. Furthermore, digital learning orientation (DLO) and environmental strategy (ES) are proposed as the moderator variables for relationships in the proposed model.

Design/methodology/approach
Data was collected by survey method via email with convenient sampling method. In total, 611 emails, including the survey, were sent to executive managers of Vietnamese manufacturing companies listed on stock exchanges. The final sample of 419 responses was used for analysis.

Findings
By using the partial least squares structural equation modeling, this study’s results elucidate that BDA positively affects ENP. Moreover, DLO positively moderates the nexus between BDA and environmental process integration in accounting reports, while ES plays a positive moderating role on the nexus between environmental process integration and ENP.

Practical implications
In terms of managerial implications, this paper mentions pretty attractive features of using modern technique and ENP. This research emphasizes the key role of the BDA for both reporting and accounting performance (e.g. environmental process integration and ENP) of the company. Thus, managers should examine implementing BDA when necessary to make accounting reports more transparent and modern, thereby enhancing the organization's ENP. Particularly, managers should focus on improving the organization's ENP indicators.

Originality/value
This study complements the ENP literature by showing a positive effect of BDA and environmental process integration on ENP. Additionally, this study’s results determine the efficacy of DLO and ES as well as their regulatory roles. Finally, this study was conducted to supplement empirical evidence on ENP in the post-COVID-19 context in developing countries, specifically Vietnam.
The school workshop as the basis for the continuation school (1908)
Authors: Kerschensteiner Georg , Winch Christopher 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
This classic essay—Die Schulwerkstatt als Grundlage der Organisation der Fortbildungsschule—by George Kerschensteiner (1854–1932) is here published for the first time in English, in a translation by Stephanie Wilde and Christopher Winch. The essay was highly influential in the formation of the successful economy in modern Germany. It has had a bearing on the development of modern conceptions of the place of work, career and profession in a human life, and of the significance of this or the development of both the society as a whole and the individual's Bildung. It provides the means to question again some of the assumptions embedded not only in contemporary thinking about vocational education but about the idea of education as a whole. Much turns in the discussion of differences between German and English expressions, and these are discussed in the complementary essay, ‘Re-Reading Kerschensteiner today—Doing VET in German vocational schools’, by Peter Sloane. An introduction to the broader context is provided in ‘Founding German Vocational Education: Kerschensteiner, Spranger and Fischer as key figures in the classical German VET Theory’ by Christian Steibe, Dina Kuhlee and Christopher Winch, the Editors of this Special Issue.

AbstractThe Nanyuan Formation contains information related to the Mesozoic tectonic transformation. In this study, three representative profiles were surveyed from the Nanyuan Formation, and multiple analyses were conducted. Zircon U‐Pb dating yielded their ages as approximately 158–146 Ma. The volcanic rocks are enriched in Rb, Th, U, K, and Pb and depleted in Nb, Ta, P, and Ti, implying their affinity for I‐type granites. The εNd(t) values (–8.3 to −6.0), (87Sr/86Sr)i values (0.7077–0.7094) of the volcanic rock, and εHf(t) values (–8.71 to 0.12) of the Mesozoic zircons suggest that the Nanyuan Formation magma originated in the lower crust with the involvement of depleted mantle materials. The parent rocks of the rhyolitic and dacitic volcanic rocks formed by partial melting of basement rocks in South China and the andesitic volcanic rocks were derived from partial melting of the metasomatites generated by slab‐mantle interaction. The fractional crystallization also played an important role in later stage. Discrimination diagrams of the volcanic rocks indicated that they formed in a volcanic arc environment. Combined with previous data, the Nanyuan Formation recorded subduction of the Paleo‐Pacific Plate before regional tectonic transformation. The compressive stress field endured until the end of the Late Jurassic.

AbstractThe thrust nappe played an important role in the Mesozoic tectonic evolution of the middle part of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB). However, the timing, structural style and kinematic processes of the thrust nappe remain controversial, particularly the detail of the thrust nappe in the Guaizihu region (110 km east of Ejinaq). In this study, we investigate new field mapping, seismic sections, geochronology and low‐temperature thermochronometric dating to provide constraints on the history of this thrust nappe in the Chaheilingashun area (northwestern Guaizihu region). The field mapping, seismic sections and structural analysis reveal that the autochthonous system had developed a series of strong fold structures in the upper Permian strata. The allochthonous system mainly contains Devonian monzogranite (U‐Pb age, ranges from 386.7 to 389.0 Ma) and Meso–Neoproterozoic schists (the maximum depositional age, ∼880 Ma), which were thrust upon the upper Permian strata during Middle to Late Triassic. Based on similar rocks, geochronological dating and the Yagan thrust, we suggest that the postulated root zone of this allochthon might have originated from the Huhetaoergai area (40–60 km northwest of the study area). The geochronological results reveal that the lower age limit of this thrust nappe is constrained by the Lower–Middle Triassic syntectonic sediments (tuffaceous sandstone, ∼247 Ma), which is the sedimentary response of the fold structure., The timing of the termination of this thrust nappe is defined by the cooling age (40Ar/39Ar data, 217–211 Ma) of the Devonian monzogranite and Meso–Neoproterozoic schists. Thus, we consider this thrust event in the study area to potentially have occurred in the period from 247 Ma to 211 Ma, which may represent the tectonic response to the closure of the Paleo‐Asian Ocean.

AbstractPurposeThe purpose of this study was to assess the challenges to sustainability of standardized nursing care plan in selected tertiary health institutions in Nigeria.MethodsUsing convergent mixed method design, the qualitative and quantitative data were collected from 427 nurses and nine stakeholders. This was done in one phase with the use of validated questionnaires and in‐depth interview guide/key informant interview guide. Data were collected for 5 months and analyzed with SPSS version 25. Qualitative data were analyzed using themes.ResultsThe explored significant challenges by stakeholders and nurses to sustainability of standardized nursing care plan (SNCP) in all the selected hospitals were inadequate knowledge of standardized nursing languages (SNLs), inadequate staffing, lack of motivation, lack of mandate to use SNLs by the educational system, lack of computers on the wards, weakness of previous training on SNL/SNCP, lack of interest, and high patient load.ConclusionThe study concludes that inadequate knowledge of SNLs and inadequate staff could contribute to non sustainability of SNCP.Implications for nursing practiceNurses should be continuously trained on standardized nursing languages. Staff motivation and increasing the number of staff on the wards would increase the interest of the nursing staff. This will in turn improve the quality of documentation and patient care.
Managing irrigation under increasing water scarcity

Published: October 2022

AbstractWith rising physical and economic scarcity of water, increasing or sustaining agricultural production while limiting or reducing consumptive water use is an urgent challenge. This article examines the case of four countries—India, China, western United States, and Israel—where there is a long history of irrigated agriculture with significant public and private investments, to identify key themes for managing irrigation under increasing physical and economic water scarcity. The focus of irrigation management has expanded from investing in irrigation infrastructure to reforming institutions; strengthening policies pertaining to irrigation prices and rights; using incentives to reward reductions in irrigation application; and improving irrigation efficiency. However, this may not be sufficient to reduce consumptive use of water in agriculture. Reducing freshwater use in agriculture will require cost‐effective harnessing of other water sources through processes such as desalination and wastewater reuse, which may be difficult to implement in most geographies. Changes to policies in other sectors will likely be needed, especially in food procurement and land‐use, which require balancing water security with food security, and supporting potential losses in livelihoods and incomes from such changes. Finally, reductions in agricultural water use in a country will likely have implications for water use in other countries, through imports.

AbstractHereditary spherocytosis (HS) is the most common type of hereditary erythrocyte membrane disease and has varied phenotypic features and genetic patterns. We herein performed a retrospective study of 94 patients with HS and aimed to investigate the genetic variations and genotype–phenotype correlations using targeted next‐generation sequencing. In 79/94 (84%) patients, 83 HS variants including 67 novel variants were identified. Pathogenic variants of SPTB, ANK1, SLC4A1, SPTA1, and EPB42 were found in 32/79(41%), 22/79(28%), 15/79 (19%), 8/79 (9%), and 3/79 (4%) of the patients respectively, revealing that SPTB is the most frequently mutated HS gene in Eastern China. Most SPTB and ANK1 gene variations were nonsense and frameshift variations. Missense variants were the main variant type of SLC4A1, SPTA1, and EPB42 genes. Interestingly, one SPTA1 variant (p. Arg1757Cys) showed an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern and one EPB42 variant (p. Gln377His) was apparent as a hotspot variation. Furthermore, genotype–phenotype analysis was performed among the five mutated gene groups. Besides the finding that patients with the SLC4A1 variant had the highest mean corpuscular hemoglobin levels, no clear correlations between genotype and phenotype were observed.

Published: October 2022

AbstractHexMe consists of 189 tetrahedral meshes with tagged features and a workflow to generate them. The primary purpose of HexMe meshes is to enable consistent and practically meaningful evaluation of hexahedral meshing algorithms and related techniques, specifically regarding the correct meshing of specified feature points, curves, and surfaces. The tetrahedral meshes have been generated with Gmsh, starting from 63 computer‐aided design (CAD) models from various databases. To highlight and label the diverse and challenging aspects of hexahedral mesh generation, the CAD models are classified into three categories: simple, nasty, and industrial. For each CAD model, we provide three kinds of tetrahedral meshes (uniform, curvature‐adapted, and box‐embedded). The mesh generation pipeline is defined with the help of Snakemake, a modern workflow management system, which allows us to specify a fully automated, extensible, and sustainable workflow. It is possible to download the whole dataset or select individual meshes by browsing the online catalog. The HexMe dataset is built with evolution in mind and prepared for future developments. A public GitHub repository hosts the HexMe workflow, where external contributions and future releases are possible and encouraged. We demonstrate the value of HexMe by exploring the robustness limitations of state‐of‐the‐art frame‐field‐based hexahedral meshing algorithm. Only for 19 of 189 tagged tetrahedral inputs all feature entities are meshed correctly, while the average success rates are 70.9% / 48.5% / 34.6% for feature points/curves/surfaces.
Fabricable Multi‐Scale Wang Tiles

Published: October 2022

AbstractWang tiles, also known as Wang dominoes, are a jigsaw puzzle system with matching edges. Due to their compactness and expressiveness in representing variations, they have become a popular tool in the procedural synthesis of textures, height fields, 3D printing and representing other large and non‐repetitive data. Multi‐scale tiles created from low‐level tiles allow for a higher tiling efficiency, although they face the problem of combinatorial explosion. In this paper, we propose a generation method for multi‐scale Wang tiles that aims at minimizing the amount of needed tiles while still resembling a tiling appearance similar to low‐level tiles. Based on a set of representative multi‐scale Wang tiles, we use a dynamic generation algorithm for this purpose. Our method can be used for rapid texture synthesis and image halftoning. Respecting physical constraints, our tiles are connected, lightweight, independent of the fabrication scale, able to tile larger areas with image contents and contribute to “mass customization”.
Elevated posaconazole trough concentrations are not associated with increased risk for posaconazole toxicity in lung transplant recipients

Published: October 2022

AbstractObjectivePosaconazole is used for prophylaxis and treatment of invasive fungal infections in lung transplant recipients (LTR). Previous studies have not described the relationship between elevated posaconazole trough concentrations and adverse drug reactions in this population.MethodsThis IRB‐approved, retrospective cohort study at NewYork‐Presbyterian Hospital included LTR who had posaconazole trough concentrations measured. The primary aim of this study was to evaluate elevated posaconazole trough concentrations and changes in liver function tests as well as QTc interval. A secondary aim of this study was to identify patient factors associated with elevated posaconazole trough levels.ResultsA total of 109 LTR were included. The average age was 58.1 years (IQR, 48–65), the majority were male (56%). A total of 932 trough levels were assessed with a median number of 8 (IQR, 5–15) levels per patient. The median posaconazole trough concentration was 1.7 mg/L (IQR, 1.1–2.5). Hepatotoxicity, as defined by common terminology criteria for adverse events (CTCAE), was observed in 73.4% of subjects, with the majority classified as grade 1 (67.5%). However, there was no correlation between elevated posaconazole levels and aspartate aminotransferase (r = .03), alanine aminotransferase (r = .04), alkaline phosphatase (r = .04), and total bilirubin (r = .02). There was also no correlation between posaconazole trough concentrations and QTc interval (r = .03).ConclusionThis analysis demonstrates that no correlation exists between whole blood posaconazole levels and hepatotoxicity or QTc prolongation. Based on these results, posaconazole dose reductions may not be warranted for posaconazole levels that are significantly above the therapeutic target to avert risk for hepatotoxicity or QTc prolongation.
How do children view and categorise human and dog facial expressions?

Published: October 2022

AbstractChildren are often surrounded by other humans and companion animals (e.g., dogs, cats); and understanding facial expressions in all these social partners may be critical to successful social interactions. In an eye‐tracking study, we examined how children (4–10 years old) view and label facial expressions in adult humans and dogs. We found that children looked more at dogs than humans, and more at negative than positive or neutral human expressions. Their viewing patterns (Proportion of Viewing Time, PVT) at individual facial regions were also modified by the viewed species and emotion, with the eyes not always being most viewed: this related to positive anticipation when viewing humans, whilst when viewing dogs, the mouth was viewed more or equally compared to the eyes for all emotions. We further found that children's labelling (Emotion Categorisation Accuracy, ECA) was better for the perceived valence than for emotion category, with positive human expressions easier than both positive and negative dog expressions. They performed poorly when asked to freely label facial expressions, but performed better for human than dog expressions. Finally, we found some effects of age, sex, and other factors (e.g., experience with dogs) on both PVT and ECA. Our study shows that children have a different gaze pattern and identification accuracy compared to adults, for viewing faces of human adults and dogs. We suggest that for recognising human (own‐face‐type) expressions, familiarity obtained through casual social interactions may be sufficient; but for recognising dog (other‐face‐type) expressions, explicit training may be required to develop competence.Highlights
We conducted an eye‐tracking experiment to investigate how children view and categorise facial expressions in adult humans and dogs
Children's viewing patterns were significantly dependent upon the facial region, species, and emotion viewed
Children's categorisation also varied with the species and emotion viewed, with better performance for valence than emotion categories
Own‐face‐types (adult humans) are easier than other‐face‐types (dogs) for children, and casual familiarity (e.g., through family dogs) to the latter is not enough to achieve perceptual competence

Published: October 2022

AbstractDiabetes induces a disorder in mitochondrial activity, which causes damage to the nuclear and mitochondrial DNA and ultimately increases the release of inflammatory cytokines and damages the sciatic nerve and dorsal root ganglion and induces neuropathy. It has been shown that progesterone has anti‐inflammatory and antioxidative effects and prevents nerve cell damage. Therefore, the aim of this experiment was to investigate the effect of progesterone receptor neuroprotection on diabetic neuropathy. Forty male Sprague–Dawley rats were divided into four groups, including control group, diabetic control group, diabetic control group + progesterone (30 mg/kg), and diabetic control group + combination of progesterone (30 mg/kg) and RU486 (10 mg/kg). After the induction of diabetes, blood glucose level, body weight, behavioral tests, electrophysiological tests, oxidative and inflammatory factors, and histological parameters were measured. Progesterone treatment significantly reduced the level of sensitivity to hot plate without significant effect on glucose level, and significant changes were also observed in the results of tail flick test. In addition, the results showed that the administration of progesterone can improve MNCV and significantly reduce the serum levels of oxidative stress and inflammatory factors, as well as inflammation and edema around the sciatic nerve. However, RU486 inverted the beneficial effects of progesterone. Progesterone can be considered as a protective agent in reducing DN because of its ability to reduce inflammation and nerve damage. In addition, RU486, a progesterone receptor blocker, inhibits the beneficial effects of progesterone on the DN; thus, progesterone receptors play an important role in the neuroprotective effect of progesterone.
Improvement of cognitive dysfunction by a novel phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor, Tadalafil

Published: October 2022

AbstractThere is substantial evidence for the modulatory role of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)‐specific phosphodiesterases (PDEs) in memory and synaptic plasticity, and an increase in intracellular cGMP facilitates these processes. The present study was aimed at the neuropharmacological investigations of tadalafil (TAD 5, 10, and 20 mg/kg, p.o.) and further involvement of nitric oxide (NO)‐cGMP in its effects. The effects of tadalafil and its combination with NG‐nitro‐L‐arginine methyl ester (L‐NAME) were investigated in scopolamine‐ and diabetes‐induced cognitive dysfunction using elevated plus maze (EPM) and object recognition (ORT) tests. The results of EPM revealed that the scopolamine‐ and diabetes‐induced learning and memory deficit was dose dependently attenuated after administration of TAD (TAD 10 and 20 mg/kg, p.o.) in both paradigms studied. Administration of L‐NAME (20 mg/kg) aggravated scopolamine‐ and diabetes‐induced learning and memory deficit. Co‐administration of L‐NAME (20 mg/kg) after TAD (20 mg/kg) produced significant increase in cognitive performance as compared to scopolamine‐ and diabetic‐ control group. This showed that L‐NAME (20 mg/kg) aggravated scopolamine‐ and diabetes‐induced learning and memory deficit was significantly reversed by TAD (20 mg/kg). The results of the present study revealed that tadalafil by inhibiting PDE5 possibly elevated the cGMP level that through a diversity of its substrates produced neuropharmacological effects in cognitive dysfunction.
