Authors: Ayat Muhammad , Qureshi Sheheryar Mohsin , Kang Changwook 
Published: January 2022

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to propose an improved framework for managing Private Participation in Infrastructure ICT (PPI-ICT) projects in the context of developing countries as the requirements to manage them are different in several aspects.

Design/methodology/approach
The framework has been proposed based on an exhaustive literature review and statistical analysis of the PPI-ICT projects’ data set using logistic regression, F-test and student’s t-test. The proposed framework was also applied to the PPI-ICT projects.

Findings
The framework is an extension to NTCP (novelty, technology, complexity and pace) approach by including extrinsic factors such as income of the country, climate risk, religious diversity, political stability, regularity quality and control of corruption. The proposed framework was used to analyze project characteristics and their external conditions in the context of developing countries. Based on the analyses, the authors have presented a detailed set of recommendations for project managers, practitioners and governments to improve the success rate of these projects.

Originality/value
The major contribution of this study is the framework, which encompasses the NTCP model as well as extrinsic characteristics of PPI-ICT projects. The proposed framework is meant to assist the project managers to comprehend the project characteristics and its external environment to identify an adequate approach for managing projects successfully.
Fred Reichheld: Customer centricity and the strategic power of embracing the “Golden Rule” in business
Authors: Leavy Brian 
Published: January 2022

Purpose
Few have done more to advance the cause of a customer-first approach over the last two decades than Fred Reichheld, pioneer in the area of the customer loyalty economics. He is interviewed by S&L Contributing editor Brian Leavy.

Design/methodology/approach
Reichheld’s new book, Winning on Purpose, argues that there is one (and only one) purpose that generates long-term prosperity for a business and that is to enrich the lives of customers.

Findings
Reichheld’s book shows how customer capitalism can promise not only economic advance but also help to further humanize and elevate the world of business.

Practical implications
Putting customers first is what enables firms to serve all stakeholders well.

Originality/value
An important read for leaders, Reichheld’s significant advice to them is: Decisions and priorities must be explained in terms of values, principles and purpose, not simply profits.

AbstractPorphyromonas gingivalis is the main pathogen of chronic periodontitis. However, the specific mechanisms through which P. gingivalis induces immune and inflammatory responses in periodontitis have not been completely elucidated. In this study, we investigated the effects of the P. gingivalis outer membrane protein OmpH (encoded by PG0192 and PG0193) on interleukin‐6 (IL‐6) and tumor necrosis factor‐α (TNF‐α) expression in macrophages to assess the pro‐inflammatory cytokine responses. A PG0192‐PG0193 deletion mutant strain and a com△PG0192‐0193 strain were constructed. Furthermore, rOmpH‐1 and rOmpH‐2 encoded by PG0192 and PG0193, respectively, were cloned, expressed, and purified for subsequent experiments. Notably, the expression of IL‐6 and TNF‐α at mRNA and protein levels was downregulated upon treatment of macrophages with the PG0192‐PG0193 deletion mutant strain, whereas treatment of macrophages with P. gingivalis W83 co‐incubated with rOmpH‐1 or rOmpH‐2 upregulated IL‐6 and TNF‐α mRNA levels. The addition of C5aR antagonist blocked this induction. Overall, our findings provided important insights into the roles of PG0192 and PG0193 for promoting IL‐6 and TNF‐α expression in macrophages exposed to P. gingivalis and revealed the involvement of C5aR in the pro‐inflammatory response.

Published: January 2022

AbstractHeart failure is a process characterized by significant disturbance of protein turnover. To elucidate the alterations in cardiac protein expression during the various phases of heart failure and to understand the nature of the processes involved, we analysed the proteome in an established heart failure model at different time points to monitor thousands of different proteins simultaneously. Here, heart failure was induced by transverse aortic constriction (TAC) in KM mice. At 2, 4 and 12 weeks after operation, protein expression profiles were determined in sham‐operated (controls) and TAC mice, using label‐free quantitative proteomics, leading to identification and quantification of almost 4000 proteins. The results of the KEGG pathway enrichment analysis and GO function annotation revealed critical pathways associated with the transition from cardiac hypertrophy to heart failure, such as energy pathways and matrix reorganization. Our study suggests that in the pathophysiology of heart failure, alterations of protein groups related to cardiac energy substrate metabolism and cytoskeleton remodelling could play the more dominant roles for the signalling that eventually results in contractile dysfunction and heart failure.

Published: January 2022

AbstractBackgroundThe COVID‐19 pandemic has influenced all social spaces and older adults are susceptible to COVID‐19. Geriatric caregivers in nursing homes might experience death anxiety when faced with infected older adults and a closed working environment. Death anxiety is a negative and formidable affective state. Yet, little is currently known about the relationships among death anxiety, self‐esteem, and health‐related quality of life among geriatric caregivers during the COVID‐19 pandemic. This study aimed to examine whether self‐esteem could moderate the association between death anxiety and health‐related quality of life during the pandemic.MethodsA cross‐sectional study was conducted in Jinan and Heze cities, Shandong Province, from November 2020 to January 2021. Participants comprised a convenience sample of 236 geriatric caregivers in nursing homes. Data on sociodemographic variables, death anxiety, self‐esteem, and health‐related quality of life were collected. Descriptive analysis, Pearson correlation, and moderated analysis were used for statistical analysis.ResultsSelf‐esteem moderated the association between death anxiety and health‐related quality of life (death anxiety × self‐esteem: B = −0.113, 95% CI: −0.143, −0.018).ConclusionThis study revealed that self‐esteem played a moderating role between death anxiety and health‐related quality of life during the pandemic, which implies that mental health should be given more attention, and that interventions for improving self‐esteem need to be carried out.
When Does the Gittins Policy Have Asymptotically Optimal Response Time Tail?
Authors: Scully Ziv , van Kreveld Lucas 
Published: January 2022

We consider scheduling in the M/G/1 queue with unknown job sizes. It is known that the Gittins policy minimizes mean response time in this setting. However, the behavior of the tail of response time under Gittins is poorly understood, even in the large-response-time limit. Characterizing Gittins's asymptotic tail behavior is important because if Gittins has optimal tail asymptotics, then it simultaneously provides optimal mean response time and good tail performance.
In this work, we give the first comprehensive account of Gittins's asymptotic tail behavior. For heavy-tailed job sizes, we find that Gittins always has asymptotically optimal tail. The story for light-tailed job sizes is less clear-cut: Gittins's tail can be optimal, pessimal, or in between. To remedy this, we show that a modification of Gittins avoids pessimal tail behavior while achieving near-optimal mean response time.
The acquisition of English active and passive monotransitive constructions by English–Spanish simultaneous bilingual children
Authors: Sánchez Calderón Silvia , Fernández Fuertes Raquel 
Published: January 2022

Aims and objectives/purpose/research questions: We examine the acquisition of English active and passive monotransitives by English–Spanish bilingual children. These data are compared to English monolinguals from previous studies. We explore whether bi- and monolinguals show similar onset patterns given the shared grammatical properties of actives in the bilinguals’ two languages, and whether they differ in the onset of passives given the grammatical properties in English (canonical determiner phrase [DP]-movement) and Spanish (canonical DP-movement and se-passives). We also investigate the role played by adult input in child output. Design/methodology/approach: We analyze the spontaneous production data from eight English–Spanish bilinguals (ages: 1;01–6;11), and the adults who interact with them. Data and analysis: We perform a double analysis: (1) the onset of these structures in the spontaneous production of bilinguals to determine whether emergence patterns differ from those of monolinguals and (2) their incidence through language development to focus on production frequency. Findings/conclusions: Bilinguals start producing passives at the age of 3, later than actives that emerge at the age of 2, akin to English monolinguals. This acquisition order effect is also seen in the lower incidence of passives when compared to actives in the two child groups. The distributional properties of the two passive types do not seem to have interfered in the bilinguals’ acquisition of the English passive type, causing delay. These data suggest that the emergence and the incidence of the two constructions in bi- and monolinguals could be explained by the DP-movement maturation and/or adult input effects given the adults’ lower frequency of exposure to passives with respect to actives. Originality: This is the first study that addresses bilingual acquisition data and compares child output to adult input. Significance/implications: It contributes to elucidate how the bilinguals’ two languages interact in the acquisition and incidence of English actives and passives.
Defining routine fatigue care in Multiple Sclerosis in the United Kingdom: What treatments are offered and who gets them?
Authors: Picariello Federica , Freeman Jennifer , Moss-Morris Rona 
Published: January 2022

Background Fatigue is common and disabling in Multiple Sclerosis (MS). A recent meta-analytic systematic review reported 113 trials of exercise and behavioural interventions for fatigue, yet patients consistently describe fatigue being under-treated. The extent of the research-to-practice gap is yet to be documented. Objective To describe what fatigue treatments people with MS (pwMS) in the United Kingdom (UK) have been offered. Methods A cross-sectional survey of pwMS on the UK MS Register (UKMSR). Data on fatigue treatments offered were collected using an online questionnaire developed with patient input and summarised using descriptive statistics. Sociodemographic, MS-related, and psychological factors associated with treatment offered were evaluated using a logistic regression model. Results 4,367 respondents completed the survey, 90.3% reported experiencing fatigue. Of these, 30.8% reported having been offered at least one type of pharmacological/non-pharmacological treatment for fatigue. Pharmacological treatments were more commonly offered (22.4%) compared to non-pharmacological treatments (12.6%; 2.9% exercise and 5.9% behavioural therapy). In the logistic regression model, older age, working, shorter time since MS diagnosis, and lower fatigue were associated with lower odds of having been offered treatment for fatigue. Conclusion This study accentuates the extent of the unmet need for fatigue treatment in MS in the UK.
Adjustment of family planning service statistics reports to support decision-making at central and governorate level, Egypt

Published: January 2022

Abstract
Background
The Ministry of Health and Population (MOHP)-Family Planning Sector (FPS) has a strong management information system (MIS) that allows the flow of data from MOHP-FP clinics, health districts, and governorates up to the central level. Yet, family planning (FP) quarterly reports issued at the central level are presented as database/spreadsheet software documents. These data are not used to provide indicators or information that aid in decision-making or the tracking of FP services over time. The objective of the study is to organize data in the database, develop key performance indicators, and design FP reports and policy briefs.

Methods
The study is operations research that is driven by published data derived from MOHP-FP sector-head, and 2014 service statistics quarterly hardcopy reports. The information was entered into an excel program, and 15 key performance indicators (KPIs) were calculated and used to rank Egypt’s 27 governorates. We developed an annual FP report form, settled tables, and colored graphs that are liable to rank the governorates from best to least favorable.

Results
The quarterly data sheets issued by the MOHP-FP sector were organized for the quarters, and one annual sheet was developed with the organization of Egypt’s Governorates into 4 specific regions, with each governorate having a fixed position in all reports. The key performance indicators were as follows: percent of clients aged 35 and up; percent of clients with fewer than three children; proportion of current FP users by method; percent of clients reported as first-time clients; percent of clients defined as new clients (non-FP users and FP discontinuers); and contraceptive coverage rate, i.e., percent coverage of married women of reproductive age with dispensed FP methods expressed as couple years.

Conclusion
MOHP-FP sector service statistics data could be used for the development of fifteen key performance indicators. Having those indicators at governorate, district, and central levels in quarterly and annual reports and their communication with decision-makers at all levels and their tracking overtime will guide them to timely decision-making for improving performance in FP services at all levels.
Christianity as an inspiration for the pedagogical sciences
Authors: Marek Zbigniew , Walulik Anna 
Published: January 2022

Based on the biblical text J 20, 24-29 we were searching the possibility of giving the support to the development of a person, by Christianity. The carried out text analysis and its transposition to the pedagogical area enabled drawing the attention to the significant for the development of the person element, inspired by religion, which is spirituality. In the article the attention was paid to the fact that owing to the religion, the man is able to perceive and understand more broadly not only the particular events, but also possibilities of own participation in them. This perspective discloses new challenges in front of man, and also enables to know a new sense of own life, as well. Understanding that discovery of new life possibilities inspires for activity, we will add that the Christianity, thanks to the supernatural cognition (religious), detects a new quality reflected in a new life style. The condition of such support given to the person by the Christianity is respecting God by the man, and admitting that He is not any idea, but Person. Just, the relationship with this Person enables to have a different look at own existence and see the hope for a new life quality – immortality in it.
A ambivalência do espaço público face à fragmentação social e política
Authors: Correia João 
Published: January 2022

A pretexto da referência temporal à obra seminal de Habermas sobre o espaço público, visita-se o conceito e faz-se um balanço das transformações que o marcaram, incluindo a sua fragmentação, a formação de um tribalismo no plano da ação política e do conhecimento, a despolitização da experiência quotidiana e o seu impacto na construção de subjetividades sociais, culturais e políticas.Na linha de um pensamento pós-habermasiano que recolhe contributos da fenomenologia husserliana, propõe-se recorrer ao conceito de empatia. Simultaneamente, interrogam-se os limites desta proposta como psicologizante e centrada no ego do observador através dos conceitos de “mundo da vida” e de reconhecimento.A metodologia é hermenêutica e interpretativa, recorrendo à releitura de clássicos e de reflexões mais recentes que incidam sobre a história do conceito e das suas transformações.
Esta transformação é acompanhada por outras com a qual se articula: a multiplicação de formas discursivas esteticamente inovadoras com recurso às artes e à cultura, a emergência da emoção como elemento estruturante do agir político, a transformação do conceito de experiência e o seu impacto na construção de subjetividades políticas.
Na sequência de um pensamento pós-habermasiano que recolhe contributos da fenomenologia, ensaiei a tentativa de inscrever os conceitos de empatia e de experiência enquanto seus elemento estruturantes no sentido em que se prefiguram como consciência de uma humanidade que se considera mais do que os seus particularismos históricos e recusa, por isso, a absolutização das formas culturais identitárias.
A metodologia, predominantemente hermenêutica e interpretativa, recorre quer à releitura de clássicos quer de reflexões mais recentes sobre a atualidade de acordo com uma lógica que procura a existência de um diálogo problematizante entre escolas que estrutura a história do conceito e das suas transformações.
Neoliberalism’s Erasure of Race in Young Adult Fiction
Authors: Connors Sean P. , Trites Roberta Seelinger 
Published: January 2022

In this chapter, Sean P. Connors and Roberta Seelinger Trites argue that “neoliberalism has influenced the erasure of race” in contemporary YA dystopian fiction. They devise a framework for determining if a YA novel critiques or condones neoliberalism and, thus, “whether it is reproducing, complicating, or resisting” neoliberal ideologies. To demonstrate how YA dystopian novels reproduce neoliberalism as a means to privilege the individual and erase race and racist power structure, the essay considers Sherri L. Smith’s Orleans as a counterexample, arguing that Smith’s novel “employs neoliberalism” to challenge “the erasure of race.”
Ritual Architectures: Doorless and Makeshift Boundaries in Faulkner’s Slave Quarters
Authors: Foley Amy A. 
Published: January 2022

Throughout his writings, Faulkner describes slave quarters as doorless or as having makeshift doors in contrast to the ornamented and ritualistic enclosed facades of white American-European architectures. His depictions of doorlessness in slave architectures mirror the historical and personal accounts written by his contemporaries. In Go Down, Moses, the McCaslin brothers’ tacit allowance of slave mobility through doorless slave quarters demonstrates how Faulkner’s spatial representations operate outside of previously imagined constructs for slave movement and dwelling. In conversation with the critical theory of W.E.B. Du Bois on African architecture and civilization, contributor Amy A. Foley shows the continuity of African communal living in Faulkner’s transatlantic structures. Faulkner rejects the boundaries and ornamentation essential to imperial architectures, thereby refusing an inherited European concept of civilization.

MELACAK MAKNA WORLDVIEW: STUDI KOMPARATIF WORLDVIEW BARAT, KRISTEN, DAN ISLAM
Authors: Rohman Abdul , Ahmad Ahmad , Reza Amir , Firdausi Muhammad Ari 
Published: January 2022

ABSTRAK
Dalam artikel ini akan diulas mengenai akar kata worldview dan maknanya, baik dari sisi filsuf Barat, teolog Kristen, maupun ulama’ Islam. Worldview adalah pandangan hidup atau filsafat hidup yang dimiliki setiap orang, juga berupa keyakinan yang mendasar dan berimplikasi terhadap pikiran dan cara pandang seseorang terhadap sesuatu. Artikel ini berjenis kajian kepustakaan dimana data-datanya diambil dari beberapa buku terkait worldview. Metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan deskriptif-analisis penulis terapkan dalam penelitian ini. Data-data yang telah diperoleh dan dianalisa oleh penulis kemudian akan dikomparasikan antara satu sama lain. Hasil penelitian ini adalah bahwa filsuf Barat, teolog Kristen, dan ulama’ Islam memiliki pandangan berbeda terkait worldview yang dipicu oleh perbedaan sumber epistemologinya. Barat dan Kristen meletakan akal sebagai sumber dalam menentukan worldview. Sehingga worldview Barat dan Kristen berubah-ubah, karena setiap akal pikiran seseorang berbeda-beda dan dapat berubah-ubah. Ini berbeda dengan makna worldview dalam Islam yang bersumber dari wahyu Ilahi. Worldview Islam bersifat absolut, karena wahyu Ilahi yang diturunkan bukan hasil produk akal pikiran manusia, akan tetapi merupakan petunjuk langsung dari Allah. Islam tidak hanya berbicara tentang apa yang nampak saja (syahadah) akan tetapi juga yang tidak nampak (ghaib). Sedangkan Barat dan Kristen hanya membahas yang nampak oleh panca indera.
Kata-kata Kunci: Worldview, Barat; Kristen; Islam.
