Authors: Mahadevan Kumaraguru , Elias Arun , Samaranayake Premaratne 
Published: January 2022

PurposeThe main purpose of this research is to investigate the supply chain performance through collaborative effectiveness, from the organisations of Asia–Pacific region perspective, compared with that of global organisations based on collaborative supply chain practices.Design/methodology/approachThe survey research methodology was adopted, involving the collection of survey data from 223 participants across 10 different industries and 6 geographic regions. Data included 103 organisations in the Asia–Pacific region including Australia, India, China, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and Thailand.FindingsFrom a collaborative effectiveness perspective, the supply chain performance of Asia–Pacific organisations is different when compared with that of global organisations. It was also found that global organisations are driven by sales performance, while Asia–Pacific organisations are focussing mainly on the cost in terms of the number of employees, and therefore productivity. The metal industry stands out to be the best performing industry from a collaborative effectiveness perspective in the Asia–Pacific region and globally.Practical implicationsThe research findings can be used as a guide by industry practitioners to develop benchmarks for collaborative supply chain practices by industry and region of operations. This research has been limited to a few industries such as manufacturing, logistics, service and retail industries.Originality/valueThis research generates new knowledge on the relationship between the collaborative effectiveness and supply chain performance, from the perspectives of both Asia–Pacific and global organisations, based on a collaborative effectiveness framework. The study proposes an innovative approach of assessing supply chain performance through collaborative effectiveness from the perspectives of geographical boundaries and industry types.
Project-based learning in human–computer interaction: a service‐dominant logic approach
Authors: Karahasanović Amela , Culén Alma Leora 
Published: January 2022

Purpose
This study aims to propose a service-dominant logic (S-DL)-informed framework for teaching innovation in the context of human–computer interaction (HCI) education involving large industrial projects.

Design/methodology/approach
This study combines S-DL from the field of marketing with experiential and constructivist learning to enable value co-creation as the primary method of connecting diverse actors within the service ecology. The approach aligns with the current conceptualization of central university activities as a triad of research, education and innovation.

Findings
The teaching framework based on the S-DL enabled ongoing improvements to the course (a project-based, bachelor’s-level HCI course in the computer science department), easier management of stakeholders and learning experiences through students’ participation in real-life projects. The framework also helped to provide an understanding of how value co-creation works and brought a new dimension to HCI education.

Practical implications
The proposed framework and the authors’ experience described herein, along with examples of projects, can be helpful to educators designing and improving project-based HCI courses. It can also be useful for partner companies and organizations to realize the potential benefits of collaboration with universities. Decision-makers in industry and academia can benefit from these findings when discussing approaches to addressing sustainability issues.

Originality/value
While HCI has successfully contributed to innovation, HCI education has made only moderate efforts to include innovation as part of the curriculum. The proposed framework considers multiple service ecosystem actors and covers a broader set of co-created values for the involved partners and society than just learning benefits.
Why are style subscriptions popular with Gen-Y men? An implicit theory perspective
Authors: Sung Jihyun , Chattaraman Veena 
Published: January 2022

PurposeThe primary purpose of this study was to investigate Gen-Y men's implicit beliefs, perceptions of their appearance and apparel styling, degree of fashion involvement, novelty seeking behavior and attitudes/intention toward the new style subscription box retail model.Design/methodology/approachAn online survey was used to collect data from adult men who were born between 1977 and 1994 residing in the USA. For data analyses, SPSS and AMOS were utilized for preliminary analysis and hypotheses testing with the structural equation modeling approach.FindingsThe findings of this research demonstrated that Gen-Y men's appearance management behaviors are guided by their innate mindsets or implicit theories, which further influenced their perceptions toward fashion and style subscriptions. Although Gen-Y men's degree of fashion involvement did not have a significant influence on their attitudes, this study found that their novelty seeking behavior positively influenced their attitudes and thus their intention to use style subscription box retail.Originality/valueTo the researchers' knowledge, this study is the first to explore the role of innate mindsets among male consumers in the Gen-Y group in the context of style subscription box retail. Therefore, the findings of the research will add theoretically grounded insights by linking the research area of the style subscription box retail and implicit theory appearance, as well as provide marketing strategies for style subscription box retailers.
Constructing the “self”? Constructing the “place”? A critical exploration of self-initiated expatriation in China
Authors: Jiang Xueting , Calas Marta , English Alexander Scott 
Published: January 2022

PurposeThis paper attempts to capture how self-initiated expatriates (SIEs) produce and reconstruct “self” and “place” through their own processes of expatriation and career development as mobility becomes a norm under present conditions of globalization. In so doing, the paper reexamines assumptions of previous expatriate adjustment scholarship by using phenomenon-driven problematization to critically reflect on underlying theoretical assumptions in the extant literature. Empirically, the paper is an exploratory attempt to understanding and offering fresh insights on the notion of expatriation itself under these present conditions.Design/methodology/approachBougon's (1983) Self-Q technique was used to develop interview protocols uncovering cognitive maps of SIEs' “enacted environments” as an abstraction of their experiences, while also mapping their “enacted selves”. Analyzing social action with a cognitive map approach reveals the meanings of specific social territories, i.e. the enactment of SIEs' mobility environments (place) and their subjectivities (self).FindingsThe authors’ findings suggest that SIEs seem to be constituting and reconstituting their subjectivities and their sense of “place” by displacing the notion of “home”. This notion transforms and recedes as SIEs go about their lives abroad, allowing for the emergence of plural subjectivities, never fully formed but formulated and reformulated in social encounters.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the expatriation literature by focusing on processes through which SIEs construct their world through their mobility and overseas experiences. Observing expatriation processes as continuous cycles of creating and recreating “self” and “place” may reflect better how contemporary business practitioners engage in transnational activities. Management scholars should attend to how these processes enact social territories for a better understanding of expatriation as a global phenomenon.

Authors: Goutam Doddahulugappa , Ganguli Shirshendu , Gopalakrishna B.V. 
Published: January 2022

PurposeThis paper aims to explore impact of technology readiness (TR) on e-service quality (ESQ) and effect of ESQ and TR on purchase intention (PI) and behavioral loyalty (BL) in the context of online shopping.Design/methodology/approachWith the help of the existing literature, the authors propose a conceptual model. Questionnaire was designed to collect data, and analysis has been done using a final sample of 341 respondents.FindingsThe results show how TR has a significant impact on ESQ, PI and BL. Outcomes also highlight that only three dimensions of ESQ have a positive impact on both PI and BL. System availability dimension of ESQ impacts neither PI nor BL. Therefore, TR and ESQ together play a vital role as enablers in influencing BL and PI in online shopping context.Practical implicationsThe study results will serve as a guide to business-to-consumer e-commerce players and help them to determine how TR and ESQ dimensions will help them to build BL and PI for online shopping.Originality/valueThis is one of the first studies that takes into consideration both TR and ESQ and check how they impact PI and BL. Also, in the Indian context, it is an under-researched area and tries to fulfill this gap.

SummaryBackgroundHepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) seroclearance is the most important milestone indicating favourable clinical outcomes in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB). However, it is difficult to achieve due to the impaired HBV‐specific immunity, such as programmed cell death 1 (PD‐1)‐associated T cell exhaustion. We assessed soluble PD‐1 (sPD‐1) as a novel seromarker for predicting spontaneous HBsAg loss.MethodsSerial serum levels of sPD‐1 were evaluated in 1046 untreated hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)‐seronegative individuals who had achieved undetectable serum HBV DNA. Multiple regression analyses were applied to assess associations among baseline and subsequent sPD‐1 levels, HBsAg decline during follow‐up, and spontaneous HBsAg seroclearance.ResultsA total of 390 individuals achieved spontaneous HBsAg seroclearance during 6464.4 person‐years of follow‐up. Baseline sPD‐1 levels were inversely associated with baseline HBsAg levels (qHBsAg) as well as a greater decline in qHBsAg during follow‐up. Incidence rates of HBsAg seroclearance were 11.5, 61.7, 96.7 and 151.0 per 1000 person‐years for sPD‐1 levels of ≥4000, 536‐3999, 125‐535 and <125 pg/mL, respectively (Ptrend < 0.0001). Compared with baseline sPD‐1 levels ≥4000 pg/mL, the rate ratio (95% CI) of HBsAg seroclearance was 2.1 (1.1‐3.9), 3.0 (1.6‐5.5) and 5.1 (2.8‐9.5), for baseline sPD‐1 levels of 536‐3999, 125‐535 and <125 pg/mL, respectively, after adjustment for sex, age and serum alanine aminotransferase and HBsAg levels.ConclusionsPD‐1 level is a novel marker which independently predicts spontaneous HBsAg seroclearance of HBeAg‐negative inactive CHB patients with undetectable HBV DNA.

Populist attitudes moderates the negative relationship between national identity and support for pro‐refugee policies
Authors: Uysal Mete Sefa 
Published: January 2022

AbstractAlthough scholars argue the role of interaction of national identification and populist mindset on attitudes toward refugees, the role of this interaction remained unanswered in social psychological studies. Across two cross‐sectional survey studies conducted in Turkey (n1 = 190, n2 = 306), I hypothesized that national identity would be negatively associated with supporting pro‐refugee policies and populist attitudes would moderate this relationship. Results implied that populist attitudes moderated the relationship between national identity and support for pro‐refugee policies, while higher national identity predicted lower support for pro‐refugee policies in Turkey. The negative effect of national identity on support for pro‐refugee policies was at its highest level when combined with higher populist attitudes. This finding contributes to the populism literature that implicates populism becomes more concrete when combined with other thick‐centered ideologies such as nationalism. Findings’ theoretical and practical implications for social psychology and political science literature as well as the interrelatedness of these implications with the contextual and historical peculiarity of Turkish politics are discussed.

Published: January 2022

AbstractPrevious studies have defined long‐term opioid use in varying ways, decreasing comparability, reproducibility and clinical applicability of the research. Based on recommendations from recent systematic reviews, we aimed to develop a methodology to estimate the prevalence of use persisting more than three months utilizing one of the Nordic prescription registers. We used the Norwegian Prescription Register (NorPD) to extract data on all opioid dispensations between 1 January 2004 and 31 October 2019. New users of opioids (washout 365 days) were defined as long‐term users if they fulfilled two criteria: (1) they had ≥2 dispensations of opioids, 91–180 days apart; (2) days 0–90 included ≥90 dispensed administration units (e.g., tablets) of opioids. Overall, there were 2,543,224 new users of opioids during the study period. Of these, 354,666 (13.9%) fulfilled the criteria for long‐term opioid use at least once. Compared with those who did not fulfil the criteria (short‐term users), long‐term users were older, more likely women and used tramadol, oxycodone and buprenorphine more frequently as their first opioid. In conclusion, we found that 1/7 of opioid users continued use longer than 3 months. Future outcome research should identify the clinically most important dose requirements for long‐term opioid use criteria.
Pre‐treatment total metabolic tumour volumes in lymphoma: Does quantity matter?
Authors: El‐Galaly Tarec Christoffer , Villa Diego , Cheah Chan Yoon , Gormsen Lars C. 
Published: January 2022

SummaryPositron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) is used for the staging of lymphomas. Clinical information, such as Ann Arbor stage and number of involved sites, is derived from baseline staging and correlates with tumour volume. With modern imaging software, exact measures of total metabolic tumour volumes (tMTV) can be determined, in a semi‐ or fully‐automated manner. Several technical factors, such as tumour segmentation and PET/CT technology influence tMTV and there is no consensus on a standardized uptake value (SUV) thresholding method, or how to include the volumes in the bone marrow and spleen. In diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, peripheral T‐cell lymphoma, and Hodgkin lymphoma, tMTV has been shown to predict progression‐free survival and/or overall survival, after adjustments for clinical risk scores. However, most studies have used receiver operating curves to determine the optimal cut‐off for tMTV and many studies did not include a training‐validation approach, which led to the risk of overestimation of the independent prognostic value of tMTV. The identified cut‐off values are heterogeneous, even when the same SUV thresholding method is used. Future studies should focus on testing tMTV in homogeneously‐treated cohorts and seek to validate identified cut‐off values externally so that a prognostic value can be documented, over and above currently used clinical surrogates for tumour volume.

Published: January 2022

AbstractBackgroundTuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is an autosomal dominant neurocutaneous syndrome involved in many organ systems. At the same time, epilepsy is the most common manifestation and more than 50% of TSC patients present with intractable epilepsy. This study investigated the efficacy and safety of optimized and high‐density stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) guided radiofrequency thermocoagulation (RF‐TC) in treating TSC‐related epilepsy.MethodsNine TSC children with refractory epilepsy were treated with first‐stage SEEG‐Guided RF‐TC, and four underwent second‐stage‐optimized high‐density array of SEEG‐Guided RF‐TC. Patients’ clinical data and postoperative outcomes were analyzed retrospectively.ResultsThe patients’ median age at surgery was 4 years and 2 month (range from 3 years and 5 month to 16 years and 7 month). The mean age at surgery was 6.7 years old. Eight in 9 (88.9%) patients achieved complete remission after the final operation at half‐year follow‐up. Of seven patients with final postoperative time beyond 1 year, 6 (85.7%) reached completely seizure‐free. No severe or long‐term neurologic impairment existed in all nine patients.ConclusionOptimized high‐density array of SEEG‐guided RF‐TC is a safe and highly effective approach and can be an alternative application applied for TSC patients with refractory epilepsy.

AbstractObjectiveWe aimed to identify genes associated with genetic generalized epilepsy (GGE) by combining large cohorts enriched with individuals with a positive family history. Secondarily, we set out to compare the association of genes independently with familial and sporadic GGE.MethodsWe performed a case–control whole exome sequencing study in unrelated individuals of European descent diagnosed with GGE (previously recruited and sequenced through multiple international collaborations) and ancestry‐matched controls. The association of ultra‐rare variants (URVs; in 18 834 protein‐coding genes) with epilepsy was examined in 1928 individuals with GGE (vs. 8578 controls), then separately in 945 individuals with familial GGE (vs. 8626 controls), and finally in 1005 individuals with sporadic GGE (vs. 8621 controls). We additionally examined the association of URVs with familial and sporadic GGE in two gene sets important for inhibitory signaling (19 genes encoding γ‐aminobutyric acid type A [GABAA] receptors, 113 genes representing the GABAergic pathway).ResultsGABRG2 was associated with GGE (p = 1.8 × 10−5), approaching study‐wide significance in familial GGE (p = 3.0 × 10−6), whereas no gene approached a significant association with sporadic GGE. Deleterious URVs in the most intolerant subgenic regions in genes encoding GABAA receptors were associated with familial GGE (odds ratio [OR] = 3.9, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.9–7.8, false discovery rate [FDR]‐adjusted p = .0024), whereas their association with sporadic GGE had marginally lower odds (OR = 3.1, 95% CI = 1.3–6.7, FDR‐adjusted p = .022). URVs in GABAergic pathway genes were associated with familial GGE (OR = 1.8, 95% CI = 1.3–2.5, FDR‐adjusted p = .0024) but not with sporadic GGE (OR = 1.3, 95% CI = .9–1.9, FDR‐adjusted p = .19).SignificanceURVs in GABRG2 are likely an important risk factor for familial GGE. The association of gene sets of GABAergic signaling with familial GGE is more prominent than with sporadic GGE.
Technologies of dispossession in the blue economy: Socio‐environmental impacts of seawater desalination in the Antofagasta Region of Chile
Authors: Campero Cecilia , Bennett Nathan J. , Arriagada Nayadeth 
Published: January 2022

AbstractGlobally, ocean‐based economic development (aka the ‘the blue economy’) is increasing and continued growth is projected. The social and environmental impacts of the growth of the blue economy are a matter of some concern for local people who may experience few benefits and substantial negative impacts. One way that these impacts of the blue economy occur is through subtle or overt forms of dispossession that result from the growth of technologies and infrastructures at sea or on the land (e.g., offshore oil rigs, ships, ports, processing facilities, etc.). We focus on desalination, an understudied aspect of the blue economy that is growing exponentially. Proponents herald desalination as a sustainable solution to increase fresh water sources, while solving socio‐environmental issues left behind by the overuse of natural freshwater. However, far from being a social and environmental panacea, new political and economic interests are fused to sustain this technology with impacts for both the environment and local social systems. In this paper, we review the literature and develop a framework to understand mechanisms of dispossession via the blue economy and apply it to desalination projects in the Antofagasta Region of Chile. Drawing from a review of environmental impact assessments and declarations of environmental impacts, the research analyses communities' concerns about the impacts of desalination. Our analysis revealed (1) lack of meaningful inclusion in decision‐making; (2) physical displacement of communities or from areas required for livelihoods; (3) concerns about environmental effects, and related social impacts; and (4) few social or economic benefits to local people. The research concludes that desalination is a sector of the blue economy that is opening a new sphere of dispossession in the oceans.
Screening differential circular RNA expression profiles reveals the regulatory role of circMARS in anti‐tuberculosis drug‐induced liver injury

Published: January 2022

AbstractTuberculosis (TB) treatment is plagued by liver damage, which often leads to treatment interruptions. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a special class of non‐coding RNAs abundant in body fluids with important biological functions. However, the role of circRNA in anti‐tuberculosis drug‐induced liver injury (ADLI) is unclear. We explored ADLI‐specific circRNAs in TB patients using circRNA microarrays and verified circMARS in a cohort of 300 individuals. In addition to the value assessment of circMARS in patients using a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, cell experiments were also performed under the guidance of bioinformatics analyses. In particular, we found that circMARS acts as a miRNA sponge by binding to miRNAs. Compared with the blank group, the expressions of circMARS, KMT2C gene, and EGFR protein in the ADLI group were increased, while miR‐6808‐5p, miR‐6874‐3p, and miR‐3157‐5p were decreased. Furthermore, when si‐circMARS was used in the ADLI groups, circMARS demotion manifested the opposite results. Subsequently, a self‐controlled cohort of 35 participants was used to verify the circMARS–miR‐6808‐5p/‐6874‐3p/‐3157‐5p–KMT2C–EGFR function axis. Therefore, circMARS may participate in the compensatory repair mechanism of ADLI through the function axis, and may be a potential biomarker for ADLI diagnosis in TB patients.
