Effect of various thermal processing methods and pretreatment methods to reduce phosphorus content of chicken meat for CKD patients
Authors: Uenishi Kozue , Tomita Keiko , Kido Shinsuke 
Published: April 2022

Purpose
The management of dietary phosphorus in chronic kidney disease patients is an important issue. Phosphorus is often found with protein in foods. However, excessive protein restriction worsens the nutritional status of the patient; thus, phosphorus must be selectively restricted. This study aims to assess the effects of various pretreatments readily available in ordinary households on phosphorus loss in foodstuffs.

Design/methodology/approach
This study evaluated the retention of phosphorus in cooked chicken meat (boiled, baked, steamed and microwaved). In addition, this study incorporated various pretreatments (pounding, stabbing, cutting and enzymatic treatment) to the method exhibiting the lowest phosphorus retention (boiling) and assessed the effects on phosphorus retention.

Findings
Boiling (65%, vs baking, p < 0.001; vs steaming, p = 0.013; vs microwaving, p = 0.002) of the chicken meat resulted in the lowest phosphorus retention compared to the other cooking methods (baking [89%], steaming [73%] and microwaving [75%]). In addition, stabbing (58%, p = 0.009) or cutting (46%, p < 0.001) further reduced the retention of phosphorus in boiled chicken meat. The retention of phosphorus in enzyme-pretreated boiled chicken was reduced by approximately 10% compared to untreated chicken (p = 0.01). The cooking method that reduced phosphorus retention to the greatest extent was enzyme treatment prior to cutting and boiling.

Originality/value
This paper investigates the effects of common household cooking methods and combinations of methods on the phosphorus content of meat.

Authors: Kim Hyoungsub , Kim Se Woong , Jo Yongjun , Kim Eujin Julia 
Published: April 2022

PurposeFirst, the contributions of spatial characteristics to microclimate were analyzed. And the results from mobile measurements were compared to those from fixed measurements to examine accuracy of mobile method. Air temperature and physiologically equivalent temperature (PET) profiles were plotted to explore the impacts of the spatial characteristics of that urban square and local street.Design/methodology/approachThis research investigates the effects of urban canyons and landscape on air temperature and outdoor thermal comfort in an open square in Seoul, Korea, a city of diverse thermal environments. Mobile field measurements were carried out to obtain local meteorological data based on higher spatial resolution.FindingsOn a day in October under clear sky, air temperature and PET differences of up to 1.77 °C and 9.6 °C were observed at 2 p.m. and 3 p.m., respectively. These were mainly from the impact of shading effects caused by surrounding obstacles. The current layout and volume of vegetation in the square seemed not effective for reducing air temperature and improving thermal comfort, which needs further study.Originality/valueThe authors tested a way to investigate time delay when using mobile measurements by correcting measured local data using adjacent meteorological observatory data. The findings of and limitations on mobile station-based field measurement and analysis are discussed herein.

Authors: Bagno Raoni Barros , Freitas Jonathan Simões 
Published: April 2022

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to present an approach to start industry–university (I-U) collaboration through a stepped process aimed at building a portfolio of research and development (R&D) projects.Design/methodology/approachIt devises from an 18-month action-research program held between a multinational automotive manufacturer and the a top-ranked Brazilian university.FindingsThe three-stage R&D shared portfolio methodology results from a combined application of quality function deployment-like correlation matrices and roadmapping. A first matrix tackles industry interests and correlates product performance dimensions and components to reveal broad research areas of interest. A second matrix correlates research areas and engineering competences, highlighting the types of the required know-how from the university standpoint. Thirdly, academic experts help to fill a roadmap-like layer with possible collaborative R&D deliverables over time.Research limitations/implicationsSince the study lies on a single experience, extensions to other contexts should be made with care. However, the proposal offers robust rationale and a set of supporting tools to nurture new applications.Practical implicationsTheoretical and methodological reflections help managers tackling the long-standing problem of setting a shared R&D agenda.Originality/valueLiterature on I-U collaboration tends or to over-emphasize the role of technology transfer offices in promoting the partnerships or to seek implications for public policy. This research offers a valuable approach to build shared R&D project portfolio from a managerial viewpoint, filling an academic gap and offering guidance for managers in both sides.

Authors: Agarwal Raj , Gupta Vishal , Singh Jaskaran 
Published: April 2022

Purpose
The complications caused by metallic orthopaedic bone screws like stress-shielding effect, screw loosening, screw migration, higher density difference, painful reoperation and revision surgery for screw extraction can be overcome with the bioabsorbable bone screws. This study aims to use additive manufacturing (AM) technology to fabricate orthopaedic biodegradable cortical screws to reduce the bone-screw-related-complications.

Design/methodology/approach
The fused filament fabrication technology (FFFT)-based AM technique is used to fabricate orthopaedic cortical screws. The influence of various process parameters like infill pattern, infill percentage, layer height, wall thickness and different biological solutions were observed on the compressive strength and degradation behaviour of cortical screws.

Findings
The porous lattice structures in cortical screws using the rapid prototyping technique were found to be better as porous screws can enhance bone growth and accelerate the osseointegration process with sufficient mechanical strength. The compressive strength and degradation rate of the screw is highly dependent on process parameters used during the fabrication of the screw. The compressive strength of screw is inversely proportional to the degradation rate of the cortical screw.

Research limitations/implications
The present study is focused on cortical screws. Further different orthopaedic screws can be modified with the use of different rapid prototyping techniques.

Originality/value
The use of rapid prototyping techniques for patient-specific bone screw designs is scantly reported. This study uses FFFT-based AM technique to fabricate various infill patterns and porosity of cortical screws to enhance the design of orthopaedic cortical screws.
Effect of home-country corruption on sustainable resource management and innovation
Authors: Orudzheva Leyla , Sluhan Anne 
Published: April 2022

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to better understand how firms integrate sustainable resource management dimensions into their strategy as these firms reexamine how to support sustainability in our global business environment. To that end, the authors empirically investigate the relationship between firm-level research and development (R&D) and sustainable resource management, with particular consideration of how home-country corruption impacts this relationship.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors use a pooled regression to test the hypotheses on an unbalanced panel data set of 307 observations across six years.

Findings
The results show a positive relationship between innovation capacity and sustainable resource management. When moderated by home-country corruption, this positive relationship weakens in countries with lower corruption levels.

Practical implications
Firms interested in moving towards sustainable resource management must be deliberate and strategic about its R&D investments.

Originality/value
This paper extends extant literature on sustainable resource management, innovation and corruption by investigating the relationships hitherto under-researched despite the abundance of studies on the overall corporate social responsibility.
A module for digital conservation of medicinal plants used by tribal communities living in selected villages of Anuppur district, Madhya Pradesh, Central India
Authors: Kareti Srinivasa Rao , Rajpoot Vivek Singh , Ramar Hari Haran 
Published: April 2022

Purpose
The purpose of this study was to develop a suitable module for digital conservation of traditional knowledge of medicinal plants (MPs) used by tribal communities living in the Anuppur district of Madhya Pradesh, Central India.

Design/methodology/approach
The research used a qualitative approach to gather the data of MPs through the use of literature review and field survey. Based on the acquired data, a prototype digital learning system was constructed and assessed. This study used digital learning technologies to assess the requirements for transmitting traditional knowledge of important MPs used by tribal communities so that people can absorb and conserve them.

Findings
Over time, the focus on the digital conservation of traditional MP’s knowledge has progressively increased globally. Despite the rise in this field of study, information technology methods to preserve and distribute traditional knowledge of MPs have remained a few. When adopting digital learning to maintain traditional knowledge of MPs, it was discovered that it would be necessary to engage with relevant knowledge keepers, use multimedia, and provide content in local languages.

Research limitations/implications
This study helps in conservation of important MP species that are having biologically important therapeutic compounds meant for treating various ailments. Older generations of various tribal communities mainly hold traditional knowledge of important MPs, and unless it is preserved, it will perish along with its caretakers.

Originality/value
It is worth looking at a digital platform that can help future generations to maintain traditional knowledge of MPs, as it is a dynamic and ever-changing, it must involve a digital tool for its future conservation. Current methods for maintaining traditional knowledge of MPs were ineffective and constrained by space and time.
Macro- and micro-level connections between work–life balance, quality of life and circular economic thinking as drivers of sustainability
Authors: Diamantis Dimitrios , Puhr Ruth 
Published: April 2022

PurposeThis study aims to summarize and review the contributions made to the theme issue and observe that synergistic relationships between micro and macro levels of corporate social responsibility initiatives are needed to enable quality of life measures to be embedded in circular economic thinking and practice.Design/methodology/approachThis study reviews the contributions made by each article in the theme issue with reference to case study examples of contemporary corporate social responsibility initiatives implemented in hospitality and tourism settings.FindingsThis theme issue sought to showcase how work–life balance provisions help to stabilize employee turnover, and that further to this, quality of life enhancements via corporate social responsibility initiatives at the micro or company level can stimulate circular economic strategies at the macro or societal level. This can play a key role in securing the Sustainable Development Goals, especially Goal number 3 (good health and well-being).Originality/valueThis summary argues that enhanced corporate social responsibility initiatives could shorten the journey to sustainability by focusing on improving societal and personal levels of quality of life. Only then will work–life balance measurements become more transferable from micro to macro perspectives through circular economic thinking and action. Hence, it is clear that work–life provisions are powerful drivers in the journey toward sustainability.
What determines the willingness of older Polish employees to learn?
Authors: Pawłowska-Cyprysiak Karolina , Hildt-Ciupińska Katarzyna 
Published: April 2022

Purpose
The issue of educational activity of elderly people is very important. It is an area not only closely related to the productivity of the employees in the company and their retention but also to the broadly understood quality of life of the elderly. The purpose of this study was to develop a model of conditions for the willingness to learn in the case of older employees.

Design/methodology/approach
The study group consisted of employees aged 50+, the so-called older employees. The selection of the group was intentional. The questionnaires were completed by employees of companies that agreed to participate in the survey.

Findings
To identify the direct predictors of the willingness to participate in training, a logistic regression analysis was carried out. The model allows to explain 19.1% of the variance of the dependent variable. Higher age value reduces the chance that a person will want to participate in training, while higher number of employees in the company, the need to learn new things at work, greater emotional demands and a greater sense of effectiveness increase these chances.

Originality/value
Research on training and the willingness to learn is more often carried out among younger employees than the group of employees 50+. Defining what influences the willingness to learn among this group allows to design activities aimed on development and satisfying needs of older employees in this area.
Assessment of malignant melanoma lesions using violet‐light dermoscopy: A case report
Authors: Shu Juri , Yamamoto Yosuke , Aoyama Kazuhiro , Togawa Yaei , Kishimoto Takashi , Matsue Hiroyuki 
Published: April 2022

AbstractMalignant melanomas often present with irregular shapes and in multiple shades of brown under white light. Dermoscopy is used to diagnose malignant melanomas; nevertheless, it is often difficult to differentiate malignant melanoma from healthy pigmented skin. The DZ‐D100 dermoscope (Casio Computer) is a digital camera equipped with a white light‐emitting diode (LED) and a violet LED, which can capture non‐polarized/polarized conventional dermoscopy images (CDS) as well as violet‐light dermoscopy (VLD) images. Since the absorption wavelength of melanin approaches that of ultraviolet rays, VLD with a wavelength of 405 nm can be used to visualize it. This camera allows three images with the same composition to be captured simultaneously. In this case, we performed dermoscopy with DZ‐D100 to determine the surgical resection margins of a melanoma of the heel in a 76‐year‐old woman. The pale‐colored lesions that were difficult to demarcate by CDS were clearly visible by VLD, presenting as dark areas in the grayscale images. Preoperatively determined lesion boundaries with CDS in combination with VLD were histologically more accurate than those with conventional CDS alone. Therefore, the combination of CDS and VLD may reveal the distribution of subtle pigmentation of fine melanin in the skin, making it easier to distinguish between lesions and healthy skin. As one of the limitations, parts of the heel with thick stratum corneum were also observed to be dark gray in the VLD images. Therefore, the evaluation of pigment lesion should be performed by comparing both CDS and VLD.

Published: April 2022

AbstractOcean warming challenges marine organisms' resilience, especially for species experiencing temperatures close to their upper thermal limits. A potential increase in thermal tolerance might significantly reduce the risk of population decline, which is intrinsically linked to variability in local habitat temperatures.Our goal was to assess the plastic and genetic potential of response to elevated temperatures in a tropical bivalve model,Pinctada margaritifera. We benefit from two ecotypes for which local environmental conditions are characterized by either large diurnal variations in the tide pools (Marquesas archipelago) or low mean temperature with stable to moderate seasonal variations (Gambier archipelago).We explored the physiological basis of individual responses to elevated temperature, genetic divergence as well as plasticity and acclimation by combining lipidomic and transcriptomic approaches.We show thatP. margaritiferahas certain capacities to adjust to long‐term elevated temperatures that was thus far largely underestimated. Genetic variation across populations overlaps with gene expression and involves the mitochondrial respiration machinery, a central physiological process that contributes to species thermal sensitivity and their distribution ranges.Our results present evidence for acclimation potential inP. margaritiferaand urge for longer term studies to assess populations resilience in the face of climate change.
Outcrossing syndrome in alpine plants: Implications for flowering phenology and pollination success
Authors: Kudo Gaku 
Published: April 2022

AbstractThis study aims to clarify the community‐wide mating systems and pollination success of alpine plants. Selfing abilities and fruit‐set success of entomophilous alpine plants were compared using a dataset of 46 species that were obtained during the last 30 years in the Taisetsu Mountains, northern Japan. Almost all species showed self‐incompatibility or weak self‐compatibility, indicating that obligate outcrossing is a common mating system in alpine plants. This mating property leads to a clear seasonal pattern of fruit‐set success responding to the seasonal dynamics of pollinator activity. Most species are visited by bumble bees and/or flies, and the seasonal trend of pollination success was shown to vary among pollinator types. Pollen limitation in bee‐pollinated plants was intense early in the season and tended to decrease as the season progressed, reflecting the colony development cycle of bumble bees. Thus, the fruit‐set success of bee‐pollinated plants increased with the delay of flowering time. In contrast, seasonal trends in the pollen limitation and fruit‐set success of fly‐pollinated species were less clear. Mixed‐type plants visited by both bees and flies showed a pattern intermediate to that of bee‐type and fly‐type plants. The flowering phenology of alpine plant communities was greatly regulated by snowmelt patterns, and the pollination success of single species varied greatly among local populations distributed in different snowmelt habitats. These heterogeneous landscape features create diverse plant–pollinator interactions in alpine ecosystems. Based on these results, the ecological and evolutionary significance of the outcrossing syndrome in alpine plants is discussed.

Published: April 2022

AbstractReservoir classification is a key link in reservoir evaluation. However, traditional manual means are inefficient, subjective, and classification standards are not uniform. Therefore, taking the Mishrif Formation of the Western Iraq as an example, a new reservoir classification and discrimination method is established by using the K‐means clustering method and the Bayesian discrimination method. These methods are applied to non‐cored wells to calculate the discrimination accuracy of the reservoir type, and thus the main reasons for low accuracy of reservoir discrimination are clarified. The results show that the discrimination accuracy of reservoir type based on K‐means clustering and Bayesian stepwise discrimination is strongly related to the accuracy of the core data. The discrimination accuracy rate of Type I, Type II, and Type V reservoirs is found to be significantly higher than that of Type III and Type IV reservoirs using the method of combining K‐means clustering and Bayesian theory based on logging data. Although the recognition accuracy of the new methodology for the Type IV reservoir is low, with average accuracy the new method has reached more than 82% in the entire study area, which lays a good foundation for rapid and accurate discrimination of reservoir types and the fine evaluation of a reservoir.

Published: April 2022

AbstractObjectivesPolypharmacy and late‐life depression often congregate in the geriatric population. The primary objective is to identify determinants of polypharmacy in patients with depression, and second to examine polypharmacy in relation to various clinical phenotypes of depression and its course.MethodsA longitudinal observational study using data of the Netherlands Study of Depression in Older persons (NESDO) including 375 patients with depression 60 years and 132 non‐depressed comparisons. Linear and logistic regression were used to analyze both polypharmacy (dichotomous: ≥5 medications) and number of prescribed drugs (continuous) in relation to depression, various clinical phenotypes, and depression course.ResultsPolypharmacy was more prevalent among patients with depression (46.9%) versus non‐depressed comparisons (19.7%). A lower level of education, lower cognitive functioning, and more chronic diseases were independently associated with polypharmacy. Adjusted for these determinants, polypharmacy was associated with a higher level of motivational problems, anxiety, pain, and an earlier age of onset. A higher number of drugs was associated with a worse course of late‐life depression (OR = 1.24 [95% CI: 1.03–1.49], p = 0.022).ConclusionOlder patients with depression have a huge risk of polypharmacy, in particular among those with an early onset depression. As an independent risk factor for chronic depression, polypharmacy needs to be identified and managed appropriately. Findings suggest that depression moderates polypharmacy through shared risk factors, including motivational problems, anxiety, and pain. The complex interaction with somatic health burden requires physicians to prescribe medications with care.
