FE modeling of the effect of conductivity in galvanic corrosion between different types of stainless steel and carbon steel in a structure bolted joint
Authors: Ech Charqy Younes , Radouani Rachid , Essahli Mohamed 
Published: September 2022

PurposeThis study presents a numerical modeling by the finite element method of galvanic corrosion between the bolt (cathode) and the end plate (anode). The bolt is made of three types of stainless steel: austenitic (SS304L, SS316L), martensitic (SS410, SS420) and duplex (32,101), and the end plate is made of carbon steel (S235JR).Design/methodology/approachFinite element modeling.FindingsThe results obtained show, on the one hand, that this corrosion rate increases as the conductivity increases, on the other hand, the stainless steels having the highest corrosion resistance causes a considerable loss of mass of the end plate and subsequently a decrease in the lifetime of the bolted joint.Originality/valueThe galvanic corrosion of beam to column bolted joint with end plate, used in steel structures, was studied in order to determine the corrosion rate of the end plate and subsequently to predict the total lifetime of the bolted joint.
A study on the changes in the ICT industry after the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Yang Chang-Gyu 
Published: September 2022

PurposeThe aim of this paper is to explore the changes in the ICT and global value chains (GVCs) after the COVID-19 pandemic.Design/methodology/approachThis study compared the difference between Korea’ domestic ICT industries, ICT imports and ICT exports before and after the COVID-19 outbreak by using trade data of ICT products and national economic indicators, and presents growth strategy for the ICT industry in the post-COVID 19 era. For this purpose, this study determined the causalities between Korea's imports/exports of ICT products and composite Indexes before and after COVID-19, and derived implications in the ICT industry environment after the COVID-19 pandemic.FindingsAnalysis results showed the following changes in Korea's ICT industry in the post-COVID-19 world. (1) Non-face-to-face and contact-free technologies related sectors in the ICT industry, such as the semiconductor sector, have grown exponentially; (2) as the USA has grown as the new key player, the causal relationship with China, a key player of the GVC in the pre-COVID-19 era, disappeared; and (3) the GVC of the ICT industry is not a rigid one-way vertical structure, but is changing to a flexible structure influenced by cooperation and competition between countries.Originality/valueThe results indicate that it is essential to constantly develop new ICT sectors that make use of non-face-to-face and contact-free technologies in the post-COVID-19 era, and the main strategies in response to the changed GVC would be taking the initiative by securing source technologies and expanding through cooperation with other GVCs and resource sharing.

Published: September 2022

PurposeThe study sets out to explore the mediating role of intellectual capital (IC) dimensions (i.e. human, structural and relational) between scholars' affiliation to online academic networks and institutional knowledge capitalization. Online academic networks are tackled through the lens of knowledge networks which have been of primary importance for new relevant knowledge acquisition during the COVID-19 pandemic.Design/methodology/approachA questionnaire-based survey of 305 academics from 35 different countries was conducted from July to December 2021, employing a partial least squares structural equation modelling technique. The database was initially filtered to ensure the adequacy of the sample, and data were analyzed using the statistics software package SmartPLS 3.0.FindingsEvidence was brought forward that the proposed conceptual model accounted for 52.5% of the variance in institutional knowledge capitalization, the structural and relational capital availed by knowledge networks exerting strong positive influence on the dependent variable.Research limitations/implicationsThe study has both research and managerial implications in that it approaches a topical phenomenon, namely the capitalization of online academic networks in the COVID-19 context, which has dramatically altered the way that research and teaching are conducted worldwide.Originality/valueThe most important contribution of the paper resides in the comprehensive research model advanced which covers individual, organizational and network multifaced layers, starting with the personal and institutional motives to join a specialized network, continuing with the opportunities provided by knowledge networks in terms of intellectual capital harnessing, and ending with its influence on higher education organizations.

Authors: Alam Sajjad , Zhang Jianhua , Shehzad Muhammad Usman 
Published: September 2022

PurposeThis study aims to examine the relationship between green technology implementation (GTI), knowledge management (KM) process and knowledge workers' operational performance (KWOP). The research postulates that a specific combination of GTI and KM processes can lead to improving KWOP.Design/methodology/approachThe sample data (304) were taken from those manufacturing firms that are utilizing green technology. The examination was conducted by Smart PLS-SEM and fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA). The Smart PLS 3.29 is used to verify certain variable relationships. Moreover, fsQCA is used to investigate multiple configuration paths to enhance KWOP.FindingsThe study's outcome indicated that GTI positively influences the KM process in manufacturing firms, and the KM process enormously improves KWOP. The fsQCA analysis result explores various integrations (communication, collaboration, supporting role and improved performance) with the KM (acquisition, sharing and utilization) process identified to enhance the performance of KWOP. The current study supports two merging methods to deepen understanding of employee operational performance.Originality/valueThe study methodologically contributes by integrating direct and configuration approaches to develop firms' operational performance. This study contributes to bridging research gaps in the prior literature and advances insight into the association between GTI, KM process and KWOP.
Do state tax changes affect corporate tax aggressiveness? US evidence
Authors: Jin Dawei , Shen Hao , Wang Haizhi , Yin Desheng 
Published: September 2022

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to empirically explore whether and to what extent the changes in state corporate income tax rates affect corporate tax aggressiveness.

Design/methodology/approach
Using a differences-in-differences approach with dynamic treatment, the authors investigate the effect of staggered changes in state corporate income tax rates in the USA on corporate tax aggressiveness.

Findings
Firms become more aggressive in avoiding taxes following state tax increases but are insensitive to tax cuts. The effect of state tax increases on tax aggressiveness is weaker for firms with greater debt tax shields and marginal tax rates. Firms are more likely to shift their operations and relocate their headquarters out of states experiencing tax increases.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors' knowledge, this paper is the first to study the relation between state tax policy changes and corporate tax aggressiveness. This paper finds an asymmetrical pattern of corporate tax aggressiveness in response to state tax changes.

Published: September 2022

AbstractChronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP) is a typical type‐2 inflammation involving T‐helper type‐2 cells and impairing quality of life due to nasal obstruction, discharge and reduced sense of smell. Recently, the anti‐IL4Rα antibody dupilumab was approved for CRSwNP. While dermatologic side effects in patients treated with dupilumab for atopic dermatitis are frequently observed, there is limited knowledge about these effects in patients with CRSwNP. We aimed to investigate frequency and characteristics of dermatologic side effects following initiation of dupilumab treatment in a cohort of Austrian CRSwNP patients. Therefore, CRSwNP patients presenting at the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery at the Vienna General Hospital were retrospectively evaluated for newly developed skin eruptions while under dupilumab treatment. Incidence was calculated and details on clinical symptoms were collected. One hundred and ninety‐two CRSwNP patients receiving dupilumab treatment were included, comprising a cumulative follow‐up of 89.65 years (median: 5.5, IQR: 5.9). We observed dermatologic side effects in four patients starting at a median time of 15.5 (range 4–23) weeks after dupilumab initiation corresponding to an incidence‐rate of 4.46 (95%‐confidence interval 1.39–11.23) events per 100 patient‐years follow‐up. The majority (75%, 3/4) of affected patients developed psoriasis‐like dermatitis, whereas one individual experienced rosacea‐like folliculitis and alopecia areata. While dupilumab dosing was reduced in 3/4 CRSwNP patients, one patient completely stopped dupilumab therapy. Our study provides the first comprehensive evaluation of both frequency and characteristics of dermatologic side effects caused by dupilumab in CRSwNP patients. All affected patients developed Th1‐inflammatory associated skin disorders – previously observed only in individuals with prior affections of the skin (i.e. atopic dermatitis). Thus, individuals receiving dupilumab for CRSwNP may develop novel symptoms that require interdisciplinary management. Future studies on dupilumab in a real‐world setting will be required to further explore its spectrum of side effects.
Perspectives on rosacea patient characteristics and quality of life using baseline data from a phase 3 clinical study conducted in Japan
Authors: Yamasaki Kenshi , Miyachi Yoshiki 
Published: September 2022

AbstractThere is a lack of contemporary data on rosacea originating in Japan. Using baseline data from a randomized, phase 3 study of 130 Japanese patients with rosacea treated with metronidazole gel (0.75%) or vehicle, the authors evaluated demographic and clinical characteristics, pretreatment quality of life, and exacerbating factors. In line with global data, most patients were women (82.3%; 107/130) and aged between 30 and 50 years (60.7%; 79/130). Patient‐reported quality of life scores indicated that rosacea had an impact similar to that of other debilitating and disfiguring skin conditions (such as psoriasis), particularly in terms of the emotional burden. Anxiety or depression was reported by 30% of patients (39/130), with 6.9% (9/130) reporting moderate levels and 0.8% (1/130) reporting severe levels. The top five exacerbating factors reported to trigger worsening of rosacea were temperature changes, sun exposure, hot weather, seasonal variation, and heavy exercise. In addition, pollen exposure and menstruation were noted as triggers of rosacea symptoms; these are novel findings that require further investigation to fully understand the implications for patients and treatment. Rosacea is likely to be underdiagnosed and undertreated in Japan because of the current lack of consensus guidelines and standardized therapy. The authors anticipate that the results of this analysis will provide much needed information to help improve diagnosis and facilitate the management of rosacea in patients.
Covariations and trade‐offs of phosphorus (P) acquisition strategies in dioecious Populus euphratica as affected by soil water availability
Authors: Xia Zhichao , He Yue , Zhu Zuodong , Korpelainen Helena , Li Chunyang 
Published: September 2022

Abstract

Dioecious species may be particularly vulnerable to climate change because they often exhibit skewed sex ratios that are reinforced by the physiological and biological specialization of each sex to specific microhabitats. Yet, it is unclear how differences in functional traits between female and male plants lead to sex‐specific responses to drought and whether these responses are associated with phosphorus (P) acquisition diverge or converge.

Here, we measured the morphological and physiological traits of roots, and the functional micro‐organisms related to P acquisition in Populus euphratica females and males in the rhizosphere under different water availability.

The specific root length of females was greater than that of males, regardless of soil water availability. Therefore, the P concentration of females was significantly higher than that of males under well‐watered conditions. In contrast, the physiological adjustment to drought showed distinct sexual patterns: males significantly increased the foliar manganese concentration and maintained higher acid phosphatase activities in the rhizosphere. Moreover, the arbuscular mycorrhizal hyphal biomass reduced less in males than in females under water deficiency. Soil water shortage also decreased the α diversity of phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) and changed the co‐occurrence network in the rhizosphere of females, but it had little effect on males. Consequently, the favourable physiological processes and effective maintenance of functional microbial homoeostasis in the rhizosphere were the reasons that enabled males to reduce P loss in leaves under water deficiency.

Our study indicated that, within P. euphratica populations, covariations and trade‐offs simultaneously occurred among the three groups (root morphology, physiology and functional micro‐organisms) of functional traits evaluated. More generally, the assessment of variations in sex‐specific P acquisition strategies may help to understand the causes of sex ratio bias and how P. euphratica males and females mitigate resource shortage.

The impacts of tropical agriculture on biodiversity: A meta‐analysis
Authors: Oakley Joseph L. , Bicknell Jake E. 
Published: September 2022

Abstract

Biodiversity underpins all food production and strengthens agricultural resilience to crop failure. However, agricultural expansion is the primary driver of biodiversity loss, particularly in the tropics where crop production is increasing and intensifying rapidly to meet a growing global food demand. It is therefore crucial to ask, how do different crops and crop production systems impact biodiversity?

We first use the FAO database of harvested crop area to explore temporal changes in crop area and intensification across the entire tropical realm. We show that the harvested area of tropical crops has more than doubled since 1961, with ever‐increasing intensification. The harvested area in 2019 was 7.21 million km2, equivalent to 5.5% of global ice‐free land area, or 11.5% of land area in the tropics.

Second, we conducted a meta‐analysis of 194 studies and 1364 pairwise comparisons to assess the impact of tropical agriculture on biodiversity, comparing biodiversity values in food crop sites versus natural reference habitats.

Our meta‐analysis shows that crop type, rotation time and level of shading are important determinants of biodiversity assemblages. Perennial tropical crops that are grown in shaded plantations or agroforests (e.g. banana and coffee) support higher biodiversity, while crops cultivated in unshaded and often homogeneous croplands (e.g. maize, sugarcane and oil palm), and particularly annual crops, have impoverished biodiversity communities.

Policy implications. Our findings highlight the increasing agricultural expansion and intensification over the last 60 years and inform our understanding of how different crops and crop production systems impact biodiversity. Furthermore, they provide insight into the long‐term sustainability of tropical food production and may serve as a warning sign for agricultural systems that rely on the ecosystem services provided by biodiversity.
Testing enemy release of non‐native plants across time and space using herbarium specimens in Norway
Authors: Ivison Katy , Speed James D. M. , Prestø Tommy , Dawson Wayne 
Published: September 2022

Abstract

The enemy release hypothesis predicts that invasive plant success is in part due to the absence of natural enemies in the invaded range. However, few studies have assessed how enemy release may vary over time or space.

Norway has seen a large increase in non‐native plant species over the past few decades. We used historical herbarium records to test whether 10 non‐native plant species in Norway have suffered less from natural enemies (foliar herbivores) at different latitudes and over the past 195 years, compared to closely related (congeneric) native species.

We analysed over 2200 specimens over 26 species. Chewing herbivory was lower at higher latitudes for both non‐native and native species. However, there was no evidence of change over time in overall chewing herbivory for either native or non‐native species on average. Chewing herbivory of native and non‐native species differed within the genera Centaurea, Epilobium and Salix across latitudes, and in the genera Acer, Barbarea, Campanula and Epilobium across time.

Synthesis: Our results suggest that enemy release is unlikely to facilitate these non‐native plants in Norway since herbivory levels are similar between both non‐native and native plant species. Herbivory of these non‐native plants did not change over time, suggesting that they were quickly recognized as food sources by native herbivores. Lower levels of herbivory at higher latitudes suggest that herbivory is unlikely to limit non‐native plants further north and that herbivory is likely to increase at higher latitudes as the climate warms.
Microbial succession in a marine sediment: Inferring interspecific microbial interactions with marine cable bacteria
Authors: Liau Pinky , Kim Carol , Saxton Matthew A. , Malkin Sairah Y. 
Published: September 2022

AbstractCable bacteria are long, filamentous, multicellular bacteria that grow in marine sediments and couple sulfide oxidation to oxygen reduction over centimetre‐scale distances via long‐distance electron transport. Cable bacteria can strongly modify biogeochemical cycling and may affect microbial community networks. Here we examine interspecific interactions with marine cable bacteria (Ca. Electrothrix) by monitoring the succession of 16S rRNA amplicons (DNA and RNA) and cell abundance across depth and time, contrasting sediments with and without cable bacteria growth. In the oxic zone, cable bacteria activity was positively associated with abundant predatory bacteria (Bdellovibrionota, Myxococcota, Bradymonadales), indicating putative predation on cathodic cells. At suboxic depths, cable bacteria activity was positively associated with sulfate‐reducing and magnetotactic bacteria, consistent with cable bacteria functioning as ecosystem engineers that modify their local biogeochemical environment, benefitting certain microbes. Cable bacteria activity was negatively associated with chemoautotrophic sulfur‐oxidizing Gammaproteobacteria (Thiogranum, Sedimenticola) at oxic depths, suggesting competition, and positively correlated with these taxa at suboxic depths, suggesting syntrophy and/or facilitation. These observations are consistent with chemoautotrophic sulfur oxidizers benefitting from an oxidizing potential imparted by cable bacteria at suboxic depths, possibly by using cable bacteria as acceptors for electrons or electron equivalents, but by an as yet enigmatic mechanism.
Feminising the ‘Modern’ Sweetness: Gender and Western‐Style Confectionery in Interwar Japan
Authors: Tsay Lillian 
Published: September 2022

AbstractThis article explores how the feminisation of Western‐style confectionery was critical in bridging sweetness with modernity in interwar Japan. By examining three categories of Japanese women – the ‘female worker’, the ‘modern girl’ and the ‘good wife, wise mother’, it argues that the sweetness of Western‐style confectionery was associated with the female body due to women's extensive involvement in the production process and performances in visual advertisements. As these women helped construct the cultural imagination of Western‐style confectionery as a feminised product, their presence also unfolds the key links between Japan's rising consumer culture and the empire's growing power.
