Predictive model of the solder paste stencil printing process by response surface methodology
Authors: Chen Chun-Sheng , Wang Hai , Kao Yung-Chin , Lu Po-Jen , Chen Wei-Ren 
Published: February 2022

Purpose
This paper aims to establish the predictive equations of height, area and volume of printed solder paste during solder paste stencil printing (SPSP) process in surface mount technology (SMT) to better understand the effect of process parameters on the printing quality.

Design/methodology/approach
An experiment plan is proposed based on the response surface method (RSM). Experiments with 30 different combinations of process parameters are performed using a solder paste printer. After printing, the volume, area and height of the printed SAC105 solder paste are measured by a solder paste inspection machine. Using RSM, the predictive equations associated with the printing parameters and the printing quality of the solder paste are formed.

Findings
The optimal printing parameters are 175.08 N printing pressure, 250 mm/s printing speed, 0.1 mm snap-off height and 15.7 mm/s stencil snap-off speed if the target height of solder paste is 100 µm. As the target printing area of solder paste is 1.1 mm × 1.3 mm, the optimized values of the printing parameters are 140.29 N, 100.52 mm/s, 0.63 mm and 20.25 mm/s. When both the target printing height and area are optimized together, the optimal values for the four parameters are 86.67 N, 225.76 mm/s, 0.15 mm and 1.82 mm/s.

Originality/value
A simple RSM-based experimental method is proposed to formulate the predictive polynomial equations for height, area and volume of printed solder paste in terms of important SPSP parameters. The predictive equation model can be applied to the actual SPSP process, allowing engineers to quickly predict the best printing parameters during parameter setting to improve production efficiency and quality.
Can “organizational unlearning” be the normalizer for purposeful routines in any learning organization? An interview with Prof Eric Tsang
Authors: Acharya Abhilash , Mishra Bijaya 
Published: February 2022

Purpose
This paper was developed with the objective of unravelling the concepts and their applications in the broad areas of organizational learning (OL) and learning organization (LO). The same altogether was captured by the academic lens of Professor Eric Tsang. Through the interview, Prof Tsang helped in tracing the progressive path of his academic journey, understanding his ideas and perspectives from the space of OL and LO as well as his contributions related to those. Overall, this study aims to add to the ongoing knowledge-intensive process of redefining the ways in which organizations ‘learn’.

Design/methodology/approach
This paper is based on a detailed conversation with the distinguished academician, Prof. Eric Tsang.

Findings
How OL can follow the continuum of “purposeful organizational routines (ORs)” and that changes in such ORs will happen if shared work experiences of employees are put together. Also, organizational unlearning (OU) as a phenomenon is hard to ignore for successful organizations, especially large multinational companies.

Originality/value
The discussions with Prof Eric Tsang reflected his thoughts and critique pertaining to the core theme of OU and the significance of “purposeful organizational routines.” In the near future, other researchers and professionals can use the scope of verifying some of the assertions made in different contexts of conducting business across LOs.
Strategies for successful deployment and sustainment of Lean Six Sigma in healthcare sector in India: a multi-level perspective
Authors: Bhat Shreeranga , Gijo E.V. , Antony Jiju , Cross Jennifer 
Published: February 2022

PurposeThis study aims to present Lean Six Sigma (LSS) deployment and sustainment strategies for the healthcare sector from a multi-level perspective. The objective is to present LSS implementation insights to enable policymakers, practitioners and academicians to test and develop an LSS framework for healthcare sectors.Design/methodology/approachThe strategies identified are the result of a multi-method research design involving literature review, action research (AR) and Delphi study. Further, the AR portion of the study involved more than 10 years of projects focused on the deployment of LSS in the healthcare sector.FindingsThe strategies include a holistic view from the multi-level perspective, considering the Top Management Level, Middle Management Level and Operational Level. The authors ascertained 27 strategies across the three levels of organizational structure for the effective deployment of LSS. Further, the authors present a customized LSS “pocket guide” from the healthcare perspective for quick reference.Research limitations/implicationsThe strategies delineated in this study are based on the Indian healthcare section only; thus, further research in additional geographic contexts is needed. Also, further research is necessary to provide additional empirical validation of the effects of the identified strategies on LSS program outcomes and to verify that the strategies operate at the proposed organizational levels. Future research should also focus on identifying the interrelationships between strategies within and across levels, developing a “road map” for LSS implementation in hospitals and designing the LSS curriculum for medical schools and other medical training programs.Practical implicationsObservations of this study can contribute to developing a holistic framework for successful LSS implementation in the healthcare sector for academicians, practitioners and policymakers. This, in turn, ensures an enhanced value proposition, improved quality of life and reduced healthcare operational costs. Thus, it ensures a win-win situation among all the stakeholders of the healthcare sector.Originality/valueThe strategies put forth will enable the LSS researchers, academicians and, more particularly, practitioners to delve deeper into specific enablers and safeguard the LSS deployment from backlash. The research has two significant benefits. Firstly, it enhances the understanding of LSS from the healthcare perspective. Secondly, it provides direction for future studies with specific components for hospitals’ LSS framework, which can be further tested, refined and improved.

Published: February 2022

AbstractTick‐borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) is a zoonotic virus that causes encephalitis in humans. Various deletions have been reported in a variable region of the 3′ untranslated region of the TBEV genome. This study analyzed the role of a Y‐shaped secondary structure in the pathogenicity of TBEV by using reverse genetics. Deletion of the structure increased the mortality rate of virus‐infected mice but did not affect the virus multiplication in cultured cells and organs. The results indicate that the secondary structure is involved in the regulation of TBEV pathogenesis.

Published: February 2022

AbstractBackgroundPrevious research has consistently evidenced that children with speech and language difficulties suffer more bullying victimisation during middle school years, whereas other educative stages remain less explored. Moreover, there are divergent results in previous evidence about the types of victimisation (physical, verbal, relational) youths may experience.AimsTo examine the retrospective developmental trajectories of bullying victimisation in adults with and without self‐reported oral language difficulties across seven educational stages (preschool to university). Special attention was given to the prevalence and types of victimisation.Methods & ProceduresA total of 336 participants (ages between 18 and 65, M = 30.3) from a sample of 2259 participants that fully answered an online survey were classified as having experienced oral language difficulties (LD) not associated with a biomedical condition. A comparable control group (n = 336; ages between 18 and 72, M = 30.0) was randomly selected for statistical between‐groups contrasts. Responses to the California Bullying Victimization Scale–Retrospective (CBVS‐R) were analysed by generalised estimating equations (GEE) including language groups, types of bullying, and educational stages as explanatory variables. Specific language group comparisons in terms of percentages were conducted using chi‐square tests.Outcomes & ResultsGEE results suggested that experiencing LD was associated with an overall increase in the likelihood of bullying victimisation, Wald's χ2 (1) = 8.41, p < 0.005 for the main effect of the LD group, along almost all educational stages, Wald's χ2 (6) = 3.13, p = 0.69 for the LD group × educational stage interaction. Finally, a higher proportion of participants in the LD group reported having suffered teasing behaviours at the second cycle of elementary, the first cycle of secondary, and baccalaureate. They also reported with a higher proportion being physically hurt at preschool and having received sexual comments at the second cycle of elementary, Wald's χ2 (93) = 259.87, p < 0.001 for the LD group × educational stage × type of bullying interaction.Conclusions & ImplicationsPeople with oral language difficulties experience more bullying victimisation behaviours than their typically developing peers. Heightened bullying prevalence in children with language difficulties seems to emerge as early as 6–9 years old and persists along the rest of schooling. Not all victimisation forms seem to show differential increased rates in people with speech/language difficulties, evidencing important implications for bullying assessment. Results highlight the need to provide particular support to individuals with language difficulties against bullying during the entire schooling.
Positional responsibility in systemic‐dialogical therapy
Authors: Lini Claudia , Bertrando Paolo 
Published: February 2022

AbstractResponsibility is a dimension often overlooked in systemic and family therapy, possibly because of its connection with blame, especially toward victims of violence or abuse. Systemic‐dialogical therapy, however, gives relevance to responsibility, in the form of positional responsibility; that is, the responsibility one may take regarding one’s position in the relevant systems and contexts one is embedded in, and the ability to find one’s place within them. To help clients in such efforts, therapists must, in turn, take responsibility for the development of the therapeutic process. The process of taking responsibility in therapy, therefore, is twofold: it concerns clients, of course, but it also involves the therapist. This article proposes a method for working on positional responsibility in clinical work, illustrating it with clinical examples.
New method for the absolute dating of paper by radiocarbon measurements
Authors: Pigorsch Enrico , Kiessler Birgit , Hüls Matthias 
Published: February 2022

AbstractThe absolute dating of documents is still one of the most important challenges for forensic document examiners (FDE). The potential difference between the date on a questioned document and the actual year of production of the used paper can be only 1 to 5 years. Until now, there was no analytical method with this accuracy available. This study demonstrates a method for an absolute dating of paper by using the 14C bomb peak and dating the starch in the paper. Accelerator mass spectroscopy (AMS) radiocarbon measurements were performed on starch extracts and cellulose fibers from 50 paper samples with known production year from 1950 to 2018. For most of the paper samples, the measured 14C concentration values in the starch extracts were highly correlated with the data of the 14C bomb peak calibration curve. The differences between the calibrated ages and the actual harvest years of the starch‐containing plants were only up to 3 years. The 14C concentration in the paper fibers showed a lower but significant correlation with the production year of the papers and can be used to support the dating results of the starch extracts. In order to secure the accuracy of the dating, aside from the radiocarbon measurements of the extracted starch other analytical methods or data are used, like a detailed chemical analysis of the paper composition including fiber composition and the spectroscopic analysis of the purity of the starch extracts. In practice, only starch extracts without contaminations are used for the paper dating.

AbstractBackground and aimsSmoking is extremely common among adults experiencing homelessness, but there is lack of evidence for treatment efficacy. E‐cigarettes are an effective quitting aid, but they have not been widely tested in smokers with complex health and social needs. Here we build upon our cluster feasibility trial and evaluate the offer of an e‐cigarette or usual care to smokers accessing a homeless centre.Design, Setting and ParticipantsMulti‐centre two‐arm cluster‐randomized controlled trial with mixed‐method embedded process and economic evaluation in homeless centres in England, Scotland and Wales. Adult smokers (18+ years; n = 480) accessing homeless centres and who are known to centre staff and willing to consent.Intervention and ComparatorClusters (n = 32) will be randomized to either an e‐cigarette starter pack with weekly allocations of nicotine containing e‐liquid for 4 weeks [choice of flavours (menthol, fruit and tobacco) and strengths 12 mg/ml and 18 mg/ml] or the usual care intervention, which comprises very brief advice and a leaflet signposting to the local stop smoking service.MeasurementsThe primary outcome is 24‐week sustained carbon monoxide‐validated smoking cessation (Russell Standard defined, intention‐to‐treat analysis). Secondary outcomes: (i) 50% smoking reduction (cigarettes per day) from baseline to 24 weeks; (ii) 7‐day point prevalence quit rates at 4‐, 12‐ and 24‐week follow‐up; (iii) changes in risky smoking practices (e.g. sharing cigarettes, smoking discarded cigarettes) from baseline to 4, 12 and 24 weeks; (iv) cost‐effectiveness of the intervention; and (v) fidelity of intervention implementation; mechanisms of change; contextual influences and sustainability.ConclusionsThis is the first study, to our knowledge, to randomly assign smokers experiencing homelessness to an e‐cigarette and usual care intervention to measure smoking abstinence with embedded process and economic evaluations. If effective, its results will be used to inform the larger‐scale implementation of offering e‐cigarettes throughout homeless centres to aid smoking cessation.

Published: February 2022

AbstractBackground and AimsThere have been few head‐to‐head clinical trials of pharmacotherapies for alcohol withdrawal (AW). We, therefore, aimed to evaluate the comparative performance of pharmacotherapies for AW.MethodsSix databases were searched for randomized clinical trials through November 2021. Trials were included after a blinded review by two independent reviewers. Outcomes included incident seizures, delirium tremens, AW severity scores, adverse events, dropouts, dropouts from adverse events, length of hospital stay, use of additional medications, total benzodiazepine requirements, and death. Effect sizes were pooled using frequentist random‐effects network meta‐analysis models to generate summary ORs and Cohen's d standardized mean differences (SMDs).ResultsAcross the 149 trials, there were 10 692 participants (76% male, median 43.5 years old). AW severity spanned mild (n = 32), moderate (n = 51), and severe (n = 66). Fixed‐schedule chlormethiazole (OR, 0.16; 95% CI, 0.04–0.65), fixed‐schedule diazepam (OR, 0.16; 95% CI, 0.04–0.59), fixed‐schedule lorazepam (OR = 0.19; 95% CI, 0.08–0.45), fixed‐schedule chlordiazepoxide (OR = 0.21; 95% CI, 0.08–0.53), and divalproex (OR = 0.22; 95% CI, 0.05–0.86) were superior to placebo at reducing incident AW seizures. However, only fixed‐schedule diazepam (OR, 0.19; 95% CI, 0.05–0.76) reduced incident delirium tremens. Oxcarbazepine (d = −3.69; 95% CI, −6.21 to −1.17), carbamazepine (d = −2.76; 95% CI, −4.13 to −1.40), fixed‐schedule oxazepam (d = −2.55; 95% CI, −4.26 to −0.83), and γ‐hydroxybutyrate (d = −1.80; 95% CI, −3.35 to −0.26) improved endpoint Clinical Institute Withdrawal Assessment for Alcohol‐Revised scores over placebo. Promazine and carbamazepine were the only agents significantly associated with greater dropouts because of adverse events. The quality of evidence was downgraded because of the substantial risk of bias, heterogeneity, inconsistency, and imprecision.ConclusionsAlthough some pharmacotherapeutic modalities, particularly benzodiazepines, appear to be safe and efficacious for reducing some measures of alcohol withdrawal, methodological issues and a high risk of bias prevent a consistent estimate of their comparative performance.
Challenges and pitfalls between lichen planus pemphigoides and bullous lichen planus
Authors: Papara Cristian , Danescu Sorina , Sitaru Cassian , Baican Adrian 
Published: February 2022

ABSTRACTLichen planus pemphigoides (LPP) and bullous lichen planus (BLP) are rare dermatoses, which are characterised by blisters and lichenoid lesions. Their clinical presentation is heterogenous, displaying overlapping features or mimicking other dermatological diseases. Therefore, diagnosis can often be challenging, requiring a thorough dermatological examination along with distinctive histological and immunopathological characteristics. Lichenoid degeneration of the basal epidermis exposes various antigens of the dermal–epidermal junction in LPP, resulting in the breakdown of immune tolerance, hence, the production of autoantibodies against type XVII collagen. Conversely, no pathogenic autoantibodies are detected in BLP. However, some cases of mucosal lichen planus might display immunopathological features suggestive of autoimmune blistering diseases. Therefore, a better understanding of the pathophysiology of these two distinct dermatoses is imperative. The aim of this review was to provide a summary of the current knowledge on the clinical hallmarks, diagnosis and available therapeutic options in LPP and BLP.
Can tax regulations moderate revenue diversification and reduce financial distress in nonprofit organizations?

Published: February 2022

AbstractAs a result of policies to reduce public deficit, nonprofit organizations have been forced to turn to charitable donations in order to diversify their revenue structure and thus reduce their levels of financial distress. Public administrations have supported this process through tax mechanisms designed to provide a legal framework that will encourage private philanthropy. Our aim is to analyse the role of nonprofit tax regulations in moderating the influence of revenue diversification on insolvency risk. To this end, we drew a sample of 406 nonprofit organizations located in Aragon and Navarre, two European regions with different tax regulations, for the period 2008–2018. Our results reveal that some tax regime requirements, such as the organizational purpose, minimum initial endowment, engagement in commercial activity, and accountability and monitoring standards, have a positive impact on revenue diversification and the reduction of financial distress and vulnerability. However, we also detect differences between regions which suggest that tax harmonization for nonprofit organizations remains a challenge.
In‐plane biaxial ratcheting effect and low‐cycle fatigue behavior of CP‐Ti based on DIC method
Authors: Zhao Jia‐Yu , Lu Zheng , Zhou Chang‐Yu , Chang Le , He Xiao‐Hua 
Published: February 2022

AbstractIn‐plane biaxial fatigue tests of commercial pure titanium (CP‐Ti) were performed to investigate the effects of load ratio and phase shift on fatigue and ratcheting behavior. The results show that with the decrease of load ratio or the increase of phase shift, biaxial ratcheting strain effect is more significant, leading to the deterioration of fatigue resistance. Analysis of the crack morphology and fracture characteristic reveals that the crack propagation path becomes complex and the fracture morphology changes due to the enhanced non‐proportional hardening effect. Finally, current multiaxial life prediction models are evaluated to compare the applicability in the biaxial fatigue life prediction.
