Root factors limiting BIM implementation in developing countries: sampling the Turkish AEC industry
Authors: Tan Seda , Gumusburun Ayalp Gulden 
Published: June 2022

PurposeDespite several advantages of Building Information Modelling (BIM) technology, BIM has not been adopted and implemented extensively in developing countries. Consequently BIM remains at a beginner level in developing countries. To increase the level of BIM implementation, first, knowing the root factors that resist BIM implementation is necessary to know. Therefore, the objective of this study was to identify the factors that limit BIM implementation in developing countries, specifically in the Turkish Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry.Design/methodology/approachA questionnaire was designed with 46 influencing causes (ICs) identified through a systematic literature review. In total, 141 survey results were returned from architects and engineers, and reliability analysis, exploratory factor analysis, and confirmatory factor analysis were conducted. Furthermore, a structural equation model (SEM) was developed to identify the root factors of BIM implementation.FindingsEight root factors affecting the prevalent use of BIM technology in the Turkish construction industry were determined and grouped into three categories based on BIM implementation level. Problems with the BIM transition process and a lack of management support are the most influential root factors limiting BIM implementation. Lack of incentives, lack of BIM education, bias regarding BIM technology and BIM-based software problems form the second group of root factors that have a significant effect. Awareness and lack of communication amongst stakeholders were identified as root factors that had a moderate effect.Research limitations/implicationsThis study contributes to the knowledge body by revealing eight root factors limiting BIM implementation in the Turkish AEC industry which can be generalised to most developing countries. Therefore, the outcomes of this study may be used as a practical reference for future research aimed at improving BIM adoption in developing countries through governmental, educational, and managerial solutions.Originality/valueSeveral studies have identified the challenges and barriers of BIM implementation in the construction industry using qualitative and quantitative analyses and projected the current state. Unlike previous studies, this study comprehensively and quantitatively determined the root factors that constrain the use of BIM in Turkey using exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and structural equation modelling to present a structural model.
Measuring the impact of heavy rail transport infrastructure on house prices in Melbourne, Australia: a case study of Mernda rail extension project
Authors: Zhang Maojia , Shukla Jyoti 
Published: June 2022

PurposeThe research examines the impact of heavy rail transport infrastructure on residential property prices in Melbourne at different stages of project development using the Mernda Rail Extension Project as a case study.Design/methodology/approachA difference-in-difference approach is used to quantitatively measure the magnitude of change in the house price at different stages of rail transport infrastructure project development.FindingsWhen controlling for a range of structural, neighbourhood, and locational attributes, the authors find that properties within 800 m from the proposed train station are 8.7% higher in value than those outside 800 m (but within 1,600 m). However, during the project's construction, the project's benefits in the form of house price appreciation are not fully realised. “Unrealised benefit” is attributed to the negative externalities of construction works and apprehensions associated with the project's shelving and time delays.Research limitations/implicationsDepending on the availability of data on residential property transactions in the future, a spatial analysis of rail infrastructure's radius of catchment effect is needed.Practical implicationsFindings from this research are beneficial for policymakers concerned with transport and land use planning, property valuation for taxation and mortgage purposes.Originality/valueThis research contributes to the knowledge of the impact of the rail project on house prices in Melbourne. While there are earlier studies on the topic, there is limited understanding of this prime Australian city attractive to domestic and foreign investors.
Qualtrics and the Utah Jazz – a paradoxical relationship
Authors: King Skyler , Allred Anthony , Amos Clinton 
Published: June 2022

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to provide a medium for in-class discussions on trade-offs in investments in different marketing activities.

Research methodology
This case used both secondary and primary sources. An examination of the marketing academic literature on corporate social responsibility and news articles were the main sources of secondary sources. An in-depth interview with Mike Maughan, initiator of the 5 For The Fight campaign and Qualtrics’ Head of Brand Growth and Global Insights provided additional information and support for the case. The interview offered strategic insights from the initiator of 5 For The Fight that were unavailable through secondary sources alone. The interview also detailed insights into the strategic thinking of Qualtrics CEO, Ryan Smith and Jazz President, Steve Starks.

Case overview/synopsis
This case examines Qualtrics, a company that took an unprecedented approach to social responsibility. Qualtrics paid millions of dollars and provided significant promotional and administrative support for cancer research without directly identifying itself as the sponsor on the Utah Jazz National Basketball Association jersey patch.

Complexity academic level
This case is suitable for undergraduate and graduate courses in marketing, management and strategy. This case would also be of interest in a sports marketing course, as it includes an initiative by the National Basketball Association. Moreover, this case will be valuable for courses that include advanced discussions on corporate social responsibility. The case can also provide invaluable insights into innovative strategic planning for marketing and management practitioners. A portion of this case has been tested in a few undergraduate marketing courses.
Soil denitrification rates are more sensitive to hydrological changes than restoration approaches in a unique riparian zone

Published: June 2022

AbstractRiparian zones, an aquatic‐terrestrial interface, can intercept more than half of nitrogen (N) exported from terrestrial ecosystems to adjacent rivers, primarily by denitrification processes. However, damming has disrupted natural patterns and processes of flooding and vegetation community assemblages, and yet little is known about how hydrological changes and ecosystem restoration affect the biogeochemical functioning in the riparian ecosystems.We conducted an in situ experiment to evaluate the effects of hydrological change (e.g. altering flooding intensity and frequency) and restoration approaches (e.g. natural regeneration and active revegetation) on denitrification rates and the abundance of denitrifier genes in the riparian zone of the Three Gorges Reservoir, China.Our results showed that active revegetation did not significantly increase denitrification rates compared to the natural regeneration, but their underlying mechanism was different. At the natural regeneration area, the denitrification rate was primarily regulated by soil properties and abundance ofnosZgene, while at the active revegetation area, it was controlled merely by the abundance ofnosZgene. In addition, vegetation types showed little effect on the soil denitrification process, and the denitrification rate decreased with flooding intensity by reducing denitrifier gene abundance.The periodic flooding treatment doubled the denitrification rate compared with the no flooding treatment, which might be attributed to the enhancement of soil carbon availability. Our results suggest that in terms of N removal via denitrification processes, natural regeneration is a priority approach to restoring degraded riparian ecosystems.Read the freePlain Language Summaryfor this article on the Journal blog.

Published: June 2022

AbstractResidues of veterinary antibiotics in honey may be damaging to human health. Surface‐enhanced Raman scattering spectroscopy (SERS) is an emerging technology widely applied in food safety. SERS has advantages of enabling fingerprint identification and fast detection, as well as does not require complex pretreatment. Considering the overuse of nitrofurans in honeybee breeding, SERS combined with spectral preprocessing was used to detect nitrofurantoin in honey. By using standardized experimental procedures and improved spectral correction methods, the lowest detection limit of nitrofurantoin was 0.1321 mg/kg. A good linear relationship in the partial least squares regression model was found among spiked samples, which allowed prediction of nitrofurantoin content in honey sample (=  0.9744; =  0.976; RMSECV = 1.0353 mg/kg; RMSEP  =  0.9987 mg/kg). Collectively, these results reliably demonstrated that quantification is more accurate when spectral preprocessing is better controlled. Therefore, this study indicates that SERS could be further implemented in fast and onsite detection of nitrofurantoin in honey for improved food safety.Practical ApplicationThis article presents a novel SERS‐based method for the rapid detection of nitrofurantoin residues in honey. The original spectra were corrected by multiple linear regression based on the fitting baseline. This study aims to develop a rapid onsite detection method for toxic hazardous substance residues in food.
The MMDx®diagnostic system: A critical re‐appraisal of its knowledge gaps and a call for rigorous validation studies
Authors: Randhawa Parmjeet 
Published: June 2022

AbstractTranscriptomics generates pathogenetic insights not obtainable by histology, but translation of these insights into diagnostic tests is not a trivial task. This opinion‐piece critically appraises declarative MMDx statements, such as the infallibility of machine learning algorithms, measurements of gene expression with >99% precision, and “unambiguous reclassifications” of contentious biopsies such as those with borderline change, polyomavirus nephropathy, chronic active T‐cell or mixed rejection, isolated intimal arteritis, and renal medullary pathology.It is shown that molecular diagnoses that do not agree with histology cannot be attributed primarily to pathology reading errors. Neither can all molecular calls derived from arbitrary binary thresholds be automatically accepted as the ground truth. Important other sources of discrepancies between clinico‐pathologic and molecular calls include: (a) organ being studied, (b) disease definition, (c) clinical histologic, and gene expression heterogeneity within the same diagnostic label, (d) size and composition of comparator groups, (e) molecular noise, (f) variability in output of different machine learning algorithms, and (g) the nonavailability of a molecular classifier for chronic active TCMR. Carefully designed clinical trials are needed to determine which of the proposed indications of MMDx provide incremental value over existing standard of care protocols.
Dietary protein and sodium co‐limit cockroach growth and reproduction
Authors: Adams Tianjiao , Pennings Steven C. 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
Both dietary protein (N) and sodium (Na) are essential nutrients for invertebrate growth and reproduction. Field studies show that insects aggregate in areas with both high protein and sodium and their abundance is co‐limited by these two essential nutrients, but the mechanism behind this aggregation is not well known.
We examined a possible mechanism that dietary protein and sodium co‐limit insect herbivore growth and reproduction. To test this mechanism, we conducted a feeding experiment examining the effect of these two nutrients by using artificial diets with two levels of protein and three levels of sodium on a generalist herbivorous cockroach Blaptica dubia.
Elevated levels of dietary sodium interacted with low protein level to increase cockroach nymph relative growth rate during earlier instars.
Female cockroaches always weighed more and had a higher relative growth rate than males regardless of dietary treatment. When compared between different dietary treatments, female cockroaches' relative growth rates were higher when fed with a high protein diet, while male cockroaches reached the final instar faster when fed with a high sodium diet.
Cockroach reproduction was not affected by protein or sodium alone, but the combination of a high protein and high sodium diet resulted in the heaviest offspring.
Our results suggest that both protein and sodium may be important for both the growth and reproduction of insect herbivores. The interaction of these two nutrients to improve cockroach growth and reproduction indicate a level of co‐limitation.
Do foreign investors crowd out sell‐side analysts? Evidence from China
Authors: Cheng Xu , Kong Dongmin , Zheng Xinwei , Tang Qi 
Published: June 2022

AbstractThis paper examines whether foreign investors (FIs) affect the information production of analysts. Based on China's stock market, we find that FIs significantly reduce analysts’ coverage. Such negative association is more pronounced in firms with a high level of governance and information disclosure and varies with analyst characteristics. We also identify two possible economic mechanisms: the information channel and the governance channel. Further tests suggest that as FIs crowd out analysts, the number of research reports and brokerage site visits decreased, but analyst forecast accuracy improved, indicating that the demand and supply of information are generally in equilibrium. We further address the endogeneity issue using a change‐on‐change analysis and a quasi‐natural experiment, the Shanghai–Hong Kong Stock Connect (S‐HKSC), and the results still hold. Overall, our results present evidence of potential information production by FIs, providing policy implications and highlighting the positive effect of China's open‐door policy in capital markets.
Vertical distribution of planktonic ostracods (Halocyprididae) in the northeastern and central South China Sea: Significance of large‐sized species in deep waters
Authors: Liao Tongchen , Tan Yehui , Liu Hui , Yu Linghui , Li Kaizhi 
Published: June 2022

AbstractThe vertical distribution of species richness, abundance and biomass of planktonic ostracods down to a depth of 1000 m were studied in the northeastern South China Sea (NESCS) during March and in the central South China Sea (CTSCS) during September 2016. A total of 47 species of halocyprids were identified, with 46 species recorded in the NESCS and 28 species in the CTSCS. Most of the species observed were concentrated in the mesopelagic zone (200–1000 m), but the majority of species abundance and biomass occurred in the 25 m to 300 m water column. Results of statistical analysis showed that the vertical distribution of planktonic ostracods was associated with chlorophyll a concentration and sampling depth. The high abundance and species richness of ostracods in the NESCS were probably influenced by the Kuroshio intrusion and eddies leading to high levels of chlorophyll a concentration. The biomass of large‐sized individuals with low abundance is equal to or larger than, the extremely small‐sized individuals with high abundance, particularly in deep layers. The body sizes of planktonic ostracods were found to increase from surface to deeper water layers, indicating a trend of greater body length and higher biomass of ostracods in deep sea.
THE COST OF GREENING STIMULUS: A DYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF VEHICLE SCRAPPAGE PROGRAMS
Authors: Li Shanjun , Liu Youming , Wei Chao 
Published: June 2022

AbstractThis article investigates the potential trade‐off between the stimulus and environmental objectives in the context of the U.S. vehicle scrappage program. We develop and estimate a dynamic model of vehicle ownership and conduct a counterfactual analysis comparing the implemented policy with alternative designs. We find the cost of the implemented policy 25% higher in terms of induced sales and 64% higher in terms of induced spending than a policy design without the environmental objective. The findings serve as a caution for green stimulus programs to address both climate change and the economic crisis from the ongoing pandemic.
Supporting the agency of cities as climate migration destinations
Authors: Rosengärtner Sarah Katharina , De Sherbinin Alexander M. , Stojanov Robert 
Published: June 2022

AbstractAs climate migration has garnered the interest of research and policy communities over the last two decades, the focus has been on whether, how and where climate stresses might precipitate out‐migration, and how to assist and protect those affected. Less attention has gone to the places that receive climate migrants, and how their arrival might affect adaptation at destination. Against the backdrop of increasingly severe climate disruptions, this paper examines the likelihood of climate‐related movements going into urban areas, and the challenges that this may entail for those who move and for urban governance. With much of climate migration projected to feed into existing urbanization trends, we see the need for data and research to help bolster the agency of communities and cities to plan and act locally, and across geographies, for inclusion and resilience, and to advocate collectively for enabling policy frameworks and increased national and international support.
Stigmatization and discrimination towards human immunodeficiency virus seropositive patients in psychiatric and mental health facilities
Authors: Alenezi Atallah 
Published: June 2022

AbstractStigmatization and discriminatory attitudes of nurses towards human immunodeficiency (HIV) patients have been reported in many countries. The current study was undertaken to assess the knowledge, attitudes and factors associated with stigmatizing attitudes and discrimination among psychiatric and mental health nurses and nurse interns towards patients diagnosed with the human immunodeficiency virus; utilizing a single‐centre hospital‐based survey design. Primary data were collected using a previously validated questionnaire in a large mental health care hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Knowledge, attitudes, acts of discrimination and associated factors on the part of mental health nurses towards those diagnosed with the HIV were identified. The study described herein is in accordance with the STROBE guideline. A total of 241 psychiatric and mental health nurses completed the questionnaire, yielding a completion rate of 74.4%. Overall, more than half of the nurses demonstrated gaps in knowledge and reported higher stigmatizing attitudes and acts of discrimination. Factors associated with stigmatization and/or discrimination include higher exposure to seropositive patients, no formal HIV training, lower religiousness, lower awareness of HIV testing policy and lower level of knowledge about HIV infection. There is an urgent need to implement a training program that will help to reduce stigma among nurses caring for people diagnosed with this illness.
Validity Arguments for AI‐Based Automated Scores: Essay Scoring as an Illustration
Authors: Ferrara Steve , Qunbar Saed 
Published: June 2022

AbstractIn this article, we argue that automated scoring engines should be transparent and construct relevant—that is, as much as is currently feasible. Many current automated scoring engines cannot achieve high degrees of scoring accuracy without allowing in some features that may not be easily explained and understood and may not be obviously and directly relevant to the target assessment construct. We address the current limitations on evidence and validity arguments for scores from automated scoring engines from the points of view of the Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing (i.e., construct relevance, construct representation, and fairness) and emerging principles in Artificial Intelligence (e.g., explainable AI, an examinee's right to explanations, and principled AI). We illustrate these concepts and arguments for automated essay scores.

Published: June 2022

AbstractAimsThe aim was to synthesise and discuss predictors of complete oral feeding resumption after feeding tube placement in stroke patients with dysphagia.DesignThis was a systematic review, following the PRISMA 2020 checklist.Data sourcesEight databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane, CINAHL, CNKI, WanFang and Vip) were searched for eligible studies from inception up to June 2021.Review methodsThe JBI Manual for Evidence Synthesis was used to guide this systematic review. Any cross‐sectional survey, longitudinal study, cohort study or case–control study that explored the recovery from tube feeding to complete oral feeding in patients with dysphagia after stroke was included. Qualitative studies, review articles, case reports and conference abstracts were excluded. Two reviewers independently screened and appraised the studies. The Newcastle–Ottawa scale was used for quality assessment. Content analysis was used to categorise factors predicting feeding tube removal in stroke patients with dysphagia.ResultsThis review included a total of 15 studies consisting of 1746 participants, of which 2 were case–control studies and 13 were cohort studies. Four studies were rated as having low risk of bias, and the other 11 had high risk of bias. The factors examined in the studies were categorised into demographic characteristics (age and sex), swallowing function (instrumental assessments and non‐instrumental assessments), stroke characteristics (stroke severity, past stroke history and location of the stroke), functional status (cognitive function and physical function) and clinical measures (body mass index, geriatric nutritional risk index, white blood cell count and C‐reactive protein level).ConclusionsThe major limitation of this review is the failure to identify predictors of different tube feeding types. Although the current evidence is insufficient to support or oppose the predictive effect of any single factor, these factors are still valuable data for clinical staff that provide information that researchers can use in developing prognostic models. Rigorously designed and high‐quality research is needed to further explore the predictive value of these factors.RegistrationThis review was registered prospectively with PROSPERO [CRD42021272552].Relevance to clinical practiceHealthcare providers should strengthen the monitoring of swallowing function in patients with stroke to promote complete oral feeding resumption. As the predictive value of the identified factors is still uncertain, large, well‐designed, studies are needed to better clarify the importance of these predictors.No Patient or Public ContributionNo patient or public was involved in the design, analysis, preparation or writing of this review.
