Capitalizing online knowledge networks: from individual knowledge acquisition towards organizational achievements
Authors: Vătămănescu Elena-Mădălina , Bratianu Constantin , Dabija Dan-Cristian , Popa Simona 
Published: July 2022

Purpose
This paper aims to explore the relationships among several key constructs which link the individual’s motivation for knowledge acquisition to his affiliation with online knowledge networks, to further access the intellectual capital of the network as a prerequisite for organizational achievement.

Design/methodology/approach
An online survey with 227 members of higher education and research centers from 30 countries was carried out between July and September 2021. The data were analyzed by means of partial least squares structural equation modeling technique, using the statistics software package SmartPLS 3.0.

Findings
Individual motivation to acquire knowledge has a significant influence on the affiliation with online academic networks approached as online knowledge networks. Further, active engagement with the network’s intangible resources leads to a significant harnessing of the three-component intellectual capital, that is, human, structural and relational capital. Human and relational capital is proven to exert a significant effect on organizational achievements, whereas structural capital falls short of reporting a meaningful influence on the dependent variable.

Research limitations/implications
This research adds new knowledge to the capitalization of online knowledge networks and its influence on organizational achievements via intellectual capital.

Originality/value
A novel perspective is advanced in which online knowledge networks are acknowledged as a pivotal bond and nonlinear integrator between the individual level of knowledge fields and organizational knowledge leveraged into organizational achievements.
The effect of personalized audit communication and evidence inconsistency on auditor judgments and decision-making
Authors: Vagner Brandon 
Published: July 2022

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to explore the effects of personalized task communication and examine auditor willingness to rely on and factor into their judgments and decisions historically accurate internal evidence suggesting a less conservative collectability judgment and audit adjustment decision than unfavorable external and less credible internal evidence.

Design/methodology/approach
This study uses a 2 × 2 between-subjects experimental design manipulating whether participants receive source credibility insights leading to an evidence set consisting of mixed internal evidence signals, where historically accurate internal evidence suggests either a less conservative or similar collectability signal as unfavorable external evidence; and receive personalized or non-personalized task communication.

Findings
Through experimental analysis of 103 Big Four audit senior associates, the author found auditors factor into their collectability judgments and audit adjustment decisions historically accurate internal evidence suggesting less conservative collectability judgments and audit adjustment decisions than unfavorable external and less credible internal evidence. The author also found evidence that communication personalization elicits affect and increases effort levels for purposes of improving pre-task information processing and subsequent collectability judgments. The results also indicate that the influence of perceived personalization may not incrementally influence reliance on internal evidence that is consistent with unfavorable external evidence.

Originality/value
To the best of the author’s knowledge, this is the first study to examine auditor reliance behaviors when internal evidence suggests a less conservative collectability judgment and audit adjustment decision than unfavorable external evidence and is the first to explore communication personalization as a tool for effective audit knowledge transfer.
Fabrication, characterization and properties of silver nanoparticles using poly (MAA)–chitosan graft copolymer as an ecofriendly non-fibrous textile
Authors: Mostafa Khaled , Ramadan Mohamed , El-Sanabary Azza 
Published: July 2022

Purpose
This study aims to address a comprehensive and integrated investigations pertaining to the preparation of AgNPs with well-defined nano-sized scale using the aforementioned poly (meth acrylic acid [MAA])–chitosan graft copolymer, which is cheap, nontoxic, biodegradable and biocompatible agent as a substitute for the traditionally used toxic reducing agents.

Design/methodology/approach
AgNPs are prepared under a range of conditions, containing silver nitrate and poly (MAA)–chitosan graft copolymer concentrations, time, temperature and pH of the preparation medium. To classify AgNPs obtained under the various conditions, ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy spectra and transmission electron microscopy images are used for characterization of AgNPs instrumentally in addition to the visual color change throughout the work. The work was further extended to study the application of the so prepared AgNPs on cotton fabric to see their suitability as antibacterial agent as well as their durability after certain washing cycles.

Findings
According to the current investigation, the optimal conditions for AgNPs formation of nearly 3–15 nm in size are 5 g/l, poly (MAA)–chitosan graft copolymer and 300 ppm AgNO3 in addition to carrying out the reaction at 60°C for 30 min at pH 12. Besides, the application of the so prepared AgNPs on cotton fabric displayed a substantial reduction in antibacterial efficiency against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria estimated even after 10 washing cycles in comparison with untreated one.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ information, no comprehensive study of the synthesis of AgNPs using poly (MAA)–chitosan graft copolymer with a graft yield of 48% has been identified in the literature.
3D-printed medical models supply chain: barriers modeling and analysis
Authors: Verma Virendra Kumar , Kamble Sachin S. , Ganapathy L. 
Published: July 2022

Purpose
This study aims to identify 3D-printed medical model (3DPMM) supply chain barriers that affect the supply chain of 3DPMM in the Indian context and investigate the interdependencies between the barriers to establish hierarchical relations between them to improve the supply chain.

Design/methodology/approach
The methodology used interpretive structural modeling (ISM) and a decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) to identify the hierarchical and contextual relations among the barriers to the 3DPMM supply chain.

Findings
A total of 15 3DPMM supply chain barriers were identified in this study. The analysis identified limited materials options, slow production speed, manual post-processing, high-skilled data analyst, design and customization expert and simulation accuracy as the significant driving barriers for the medical models supply chain for hospitals. In addition, the authors identified linkage and dependent barriers. The present study findings would help to improve the 3DPMM supply chain.

Research limitations/implications
There were no experts from other nations, so this study might have missed a few 3DPMM supply chain barriers that would have been significant from another nation’s perspective.

Practical implications
ISM would help practitioners minimize 3DPMM supply chain barriers, while DEMATEL allows practitioners to emphasize the causal effects of 3DPMM supply chain barriers.

Originality/value
This study minimizes the 3DPMM supply chain barriers for medical applications through a hybrid ISM and DEMATEL methodology that has not been investigated in the literature.
Plant spectra as integrative measures of plant phenotypes
Authors: Kothari Shan , Schweiger Anna K. 
Published: July 2022

Abstract

Spectroscopy at the leaf and canopy scales has attracted considerable interest in plant ecology over the past decades. Using reflectance spectra, ecologists can infer plant traits and strategies—and the community‐ or ecosystem‐level processes they correlate with—at individual or community levels, covering more individuals and larger areas than traditional field surveys.

Because of the complex entanglement of structural and chemical factors that generate spectra, it can be tricky to understand exactly what phenotypic information they contain. We discuss common approaches to estimating plant traits from spectra—radiative transfer and empirical models—and elaborate on their strengths and limitations in terms of the causal influences of various traits on the spectrum. Many chemical traits have broad, shallow and overlapping absorption features, and we suggest that covariance among traits may have an important role in giving empirical models the flexibility to estimate such traits.

While trait estimates from reflectance spectra have been used to test ecological hypotheses over the past decades, there is also a growing body of research that uses spectra directly, without estimating specific traits. By treating positions of species in multidimensional spectral space as analogous to trait space, researchers can infer processes that structure plant communities using the information content of the full spectrum, which may be greater than any standard set of traits. We illustrate this power by showing that co‐occurring grassland species are more separable in spectral space than in trait space and that the intrinsic dimensionality of spectral data is comparable to fairly comprehensive trait datasets. Nevertheless, using spectra this way may make it harder to interpret patterns in terms of specific biological processes.

Synthesis. Plant spectra integrate many aspects of plant form and function. The information in the spectrum can be distilled into estimates of specific traits, or the spectrum can be used in its own right. These two approaches may be complementary—the former being most useful when specific traits of interest are known in advance and reliable models exist to estimate them, and the latter being most useful under uncertainty about which aspects of function matter most.
High C‐reactive protein and number of previous episodes at diagnosis increase the risk of catheter removal in peritoneal dialysis‐related peritonitis in children
Authors: Keskin Gözmen Şükran , Serdaroğlu Erkin 
Published: July 2022

AbstractBackgroundA minority of patients with peritonitis require removal of peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheters. We examined risk factors at diagnosis that could predict the removal of PD catheter before obtaining the results of treatment success in children with peritonitis.MethodsWe analyzed 156 peritonitis episodes in 57 pediatric PD patients.ResultsThe peritonitis rate was 0.68 peritonitis episode per patient year. Catheter removal was required in 22 of 156. C‐reactive protein (CRP) ≥ ×10 of upper limit at diagnosis and increased previous episode number were found to be associated with catheter removal (OR [95% CI] 6.4 [2.3–18.1], p = 0.001 and 3.8 [1.4–10.6], p = 0.009).ConclusionThese findings supported that CRP could be an early marker in predicting catheter removal even before obtaining the results of treatment success. Furthermore, it should be kept in mind that the risk of catheter removal is high in patients with high number of previous episodes especially of three or more.

Published: July 2022

AbstractEndobronchial ultrasound (EBUS)‐guided tissue acquisition (TA) performed by transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA) is the main diagnostic procedure in mediastinal and hilar lymph node (LN) biopsy. EBUS‐guided intranodal forceps biopsy (EBUS‐IFB) and EBUS‐guided cryobiopsy can achieve higher diagnostic yield of lymphomas, uncommon tumors, and benign diseases. However, these techniques require the creation of a tract to insert biopsy devices, which may result in critical complications. Here, we report a rare case of airway stenosis (AS) that occurred after EBUS‐TA for mediastinal LN biopsy. An 80‐year‐old man had multiple pulmonary nodules and an enlarged mediastinal LN. EBUS‐TBNA and EBUS‐IFB were performed for histological diagnosis. Cutaneous adnexal carcinoma (CAC) was diagnosed. The patient underwent chemotherapy. Four months later, he was hospitalized for AS due to a tracheal tumor with dyspnea. Chest computed tomography and bronchoscopy revealed that the tracheal tumor was caused by invasion from the biopsied LN into the tracheal lumen by tract seeding (TS) caused by EBUS‐TA. Cryotherapy was performed. The tracheal tumor was pathologically consistent with CAC and is currently under control with radiotherapy. TS‐associated EBUS‐TA is rare but may increase in frequency with aggressive tissue sampling techniques. Bronchoscopists should perform EBUS‐TA with awareness of the potentially serious complications.
Sedative polypharmacy mediates the effect of mechanical ventilation on delirium in critically ill COVID‐19 patients: A retrospective cohort study
Authors: Bose Somnath , Kelly Lauren , Shahn Zachary , Novack Lena , Banner‐Goodspeed Valerie , Subramaniam Balachundhar 
Published: July 2022

AbstractBackgroundPolypharmacy of sedatives (PP) is a potentially modifiable, iatrogenic risk factor for ICU delirium. The extent to which sedative PP influenced development of high rates of delirium among critically ill COVID‐19 patients is unknown. We tested the hypothesis that PP, defined as the use of four or more classes of intravenous agents, is a mediator in the causal pathway of mechanical ventilation and delirium.MethodsRetrospective cohort study of adults admitted with a primary diagnosis of RT‐PCR+ for SARS‐CoV2 to ICUs of a tertiary‐level academic medical center between February 2020 and April 2021. Mediation analysis was conducted with bootstrap estimation to assess whether an association between mechanical ventilation and delirium was mediated by PP. Analyses were adjusted for potential confounders related to mechanical ventilation, mediator, and outcome, including age, gender, vasopressor use, median RASS scores, SOFA score within 24 h of admission, and maximum CRP levels.ResultsA total of 212 patients were included in the analysis. Of total patients, 72.6%(154/212) of patients had delirium (CAM‐ICU+) during ICU stay. 54.7%(116/212) patients received PP. Mechanical ventilation (OR 3.81 [1.16–12.52]) and PP (OR 7.38 [2.4–22.68]) were identified as risk factors for development of ICU delirium after adjusting for prespecified confounders. PP acts as a mediator in the causal pathway between mechanical ventilation and delirium. 39% (95% CI: 17%–94%) of the effect of mechanical ventilation on delirium was mediated through PP.ConclusionPP mediates approximately 39% of the effect of mechanical ventilation on delirium, which is clinically and statistically significant. Studies should assess whether mitigating PP could lead to reduction in ICU delirium.Implication StatementPP of sedatives (defined as use of four or more intravenous agents) mediates approximately 39% of the effect of mechanical ventilation on development of ICU delirium. Avoidance of sedative PP may represent a viable strategy for reduction of ICU delirium.

AbstractBackgroundFluid overload is a risk factor for mortality in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Administration of loop diuretics is the predominant treatment of fluid overload, but evidence for its benefit is very uncertain when assessed in a systematic review of randomised clinical trials. The GODIF trial will assess the benefits and harms of goal directed fluid removal with furosemide versus placebo in ICU patients with fluid overload.MethodsAn investigator‐initiated, international, randomised, stratified, blinded, parallel‐group trial allocating 1000 adult ICU patients with fluid overload to infusion of furosemide versus placebo. The goal is to achieve a neutral fluid balance. The primary outcome is days alive and out of hospital 90 days after randomisation. Secondary outcomes are all‐cause mortality at day 90 and 1‐year after randomisation; days alive at day 90 without life support; number of participants with one or more serious adverse events or reactions; health‐related quality of life and cognitive function at 1‐year follow‐up. A sample size of 1000 participants is required to detect an improvement of 8% in days alive and out of hospital 90 days after randomisation with a power of 90% and a risk of type 1 error of 5%. The conclusion of the trial will be based on the point estimate and 95% confidence interval; dichotomisation will not be used. ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT04180397.PerspectiveThe GODIF trial will provide important evidence of possible benefits and harms of fluid removal with furosemide in adult ICU patients with fluid overload.
Does Type A personality have a positive or negative impact on the delayed retirement intention of older workers?
Authors: Li Yuqin , Zhang Feng , Feng Danjun 
Published: July 2022

AbstractObjectivesTo determine whether the effects of Type A personality were positive or negative on the intention to delay retirement when taking into account both its direct and indirect effects mediated by occupational stressors and psychological distress.MethodsA cross‐sectional survey on the intention to delay retirement, psychological distress, occupational stressors, and Type A personality among 1752 older Chinese workers was conducted, and a structural equation approach was employed to examine these effects.ResultsThe delayed retirement intention of Chinese workers was low (i.e., individuals were unwilling to delay retirement), and the expected retirement age was significantly lower than the official retirement age (i.e., the age when individuals become eligible for government pensions). Type A personality was directly associated with significantly higher intentions to delay retirement, but its indirect effects mediated by occupational stressors and psychological distress were insignificant.ConclusionsThe total effects of Type A personality on the intention to delay retirement were positive. Personalized intervention strategies based on Type A personality may be beneficial in motivating the work potential of older workers.
Risk factors for the occurrence of sexual misconduct during archaeological and anthropological fieldwork
Authors: Bradford Danielle J. , Crema Enrico R. 
Published: July 2022

AbstractFieldwork is crucial to advancing knowledge in archaeology and anthropology, but previous works suggests that between 64 and 68 percent of respondents experience sexual misconduct during fieldwork. Going forward, fieldwork must be made safe and inclusive. To achieve this, we must understand why sexual misconduct takes place during fieldwork. We surveyed an international sample of archaeologists and anthropologists (n=300) about their most recent fieldwork experience. We examine evidence for risk factors predicting sexual misconduct in fieldsites, and our findings suggest that length of fieldwork, presence and communication of policies and protocols, and the gender and sexuality of the individual are all significant. In particular, we find evidence for increased risk to nonmale and nonheterosexual individuals. We also gathered qualitative evidence from our respondents, who reported that in some cases they were discouraged from reporting and faced retaliation, they were dissatisfied with the handling of complaints, and fieldsite policies and protocols were not consistently or effectively implemented. Fieldwork can be a high‐risk environment for marginalized individuals to experience sexual misconduct, and when clear policies and procedures are lacking, it can also be a low‐risk environment for perpetrators in terms of consequences. To make fieldwork a safe environment for all, policies and protocols that mitigate the risk of sexual misconduct must be consistently implemented and properly communicated.

Published: July 2022

AbstractAimTo evaluate the feasibility of screening for non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in clinical practice and the acceptance of a screening strategy, and to identify factors that determine compliance.MethodsA screening protocol, based on alanine aminotransferase measurement and introduced to healthcare workers of Dutch outpatient obesity clinics in 2017, was evaluated. Medical files of children who visited the largest outpatient obesity clinic between 2017 and 2020 were evaluated. Focus group discussions (FGDs) were conducted with 14 healthcare workers who had been using the screening protocol.ResultsScreening for NAFLD was performed in 477/571 (84%) of the children. Loss of follow‐up was the major reason for inadequate screening. Follow‐up was performed in 81/134 children with an abnormal screening result (61%). The FGDs indicated 13 barriers for screening, regarding guideline‐ and knowledge‐related issues.ConclusionScreening for NAFLD was performed in the vast majority of the children. However, adherence to the guideline after an abnormal initial screening result needs to be improved. This can be achieved by improving the loss of follow‐up of patients' and physicians' awareness of the relevance of mildly elevated ALT levels.

Published: July 2022

AbstractOver the course of studying stone products from the Roman colony of Emona (Regio X), stratigraphically undefined calcarenite that was used to make simple sepulchral and architectural stone products was detected. The calcarenite used is late Aptian to early Cenomanian in age. The corresponding facies were found in the Lower Flyschoid Formation outcropping near the town of Medvode, within the local radius of Emona. The Roman quarry was likely located in this area near the Sava River. According to the collected data, the quarry was in operation mainly in the 1st century.
