Social innovation in extreme institutional contexts: the case of Palestine
Authors: Morrar Rabeh , Baba Sofiane 
Published: January 2022

PurposeThis paper focuses on social innovation dynamics in extreme contexts where institutional volatility is deeply rooted and enduring. In other words, the authors focus their discussion on the challenges that social innovators are facing in their endeavor of solving wicked social problems within an extreme institutional environment. This research is guided by the following question: How does an extreme institutional environment influence social innovation processes?Design/methodology/approachThis qualitative research builds on the unique case of the Palestinian non-governmental organization (NGO) sector, a rarely studied context in organizational studies. The authors combine archival sources with 24 semi-structured interviews with Palestinian NGOs.FindingsThe authors theorize three barriers that hinder social innovation in such contexts: institutional trap, effectiveness trap and sustainability trap. The authors also theorize five mechanisms through which these barriers influence each other dynamically: mingling, surviving, undermining, binding and reinforcing. Taken together, these barriers and mechanisms shed light on social innovation processes taking place within extreme institutional environments.Research limitations/implicationsThe main limitation of this study is the methodological design, based on an extreme single case-study which, on a bunch of features, is quite unique in the world. The authors argue that the results are all the same transferable to other relatively similar contexts.Practical implicationsBy theorizing the institutional barriers to social innovation in an extreme institutional context, the research thus sheds light on how social innovation could be sustained and stimulated in Palestine and other contexts that face similar institutional challenges.Social implicationsFrom an engaged scholarship perspective, studying Palestine cannot be more relevant than today considering the turmoil in which Palestinians are. The research thus provides a deeper understanding of organizational and institutional dynamics with crucial social repercussions.Originality/valueThe social innovation literature has overemphasized success stories to the detriment of the struggles that hinder social innovations in extreme institutional environments. By focusing on the barriers that social innovators experience in these contexts, the authors provide novel empirical insight. Furthermore, this study enriches the understanding of the institutional dynamics of social innovations by proposing a process model that elucidates how an extreme institutional context can influence social innovations.
The mediating role of absorptive capacity on innovation among technology business incubators in the Philippines
Authors: Novino Marlo 
Published: January 2022

PurposeThe paper aims to explore the knowledge management and innovative outputs (IO) of university-based technology business incubators funded by the Department of Science and Technology in the Philippines.Design/methodology/approachThe respondents, which include heads, managers, coordinators, and staff,were reached out via email using a database. The instrument was generally adopted from various related studies in the literature. Data were analyzed quantitively using partial least squares – structural equations modeling.FindingsThe main findings reveal that the mediated relationship between potential absorptive capacity (PACAP), realized absorptive capacity (RACAP) and IO explained 38.7% of the variance both predicted by PACAP and mainly explained by RACAP. Among new organizational antecedents measured, slack resources and willingness to cannibalize did not predict PACAP, while tolerance for failure and external openness predicted PACAP. Consequently, PACAP and RACAP positively mediated the relationship between significant organizational antecedents and IO.Originality/valueThe validation of the positive and significant link of absorptive capacity (ACAP) and innovation with an emphasis on the Philippine context. The study pointed out the unidimensionality of PACAP and RACAP as a single ACAP variable and not two separate constructs.
Warped mapping–based blind deconvolution for resolution improvement
Authors: Li Chao , Liu Guochang 
Published: January 2022

ABSTRACTOwing to the influence of absorption and scattering, the components of seismic waves, especially those with higher frequencies, always suffer amplitude attenuation and phase distortion during their propagation through the earth. Nonstationary blind deconvolution takes such attenuations into account for prestack seismic data. This not only compensates for attenuation‐induced energy loss but also simultaneously addresses the energy loss associated with the reflectivity series and wavelet. Additionally, nonstationary blind deconvolution can greatly improve the resolution of seismic data. However, prestack nonstationary blind deconvolution is difficult to implement because it is not easy to estimate the attenuation function of prestack seismic data unless the quality factor of the Earth is assumed to be constant. In this regard, we introduced a nonstationary blind deconvolution method for prestack gathering. First, we used warped mapping to calculate the attenuation function of the prestack data. Then, we incorporated the attenuation function into the nonstationary sparse spike deconvolution based on Toeplitz‐sparse matrix factorization for reflectivity series and wavelet estimation. The proposed method is velocity‐independent and can be adapted to the time‐varying Q model. To validate its stability and effectiveness, numerical and real data examples were adopted. The results show that the proposed method provides a straightforward routine for the estimation of prestack reflectivity coefficients for further processing and inversion.
A qualitative exploration of how oral trials are used in dysphagia management in one inpatient hospital
Authors: Julier Rebecca , Benfield Jacqueline K. 
Published: January 2022

AbstractBackgroundThe lack of high‐quality evidence to support specific treatment approaches has been widely documented in the existing literature, with evidence suggesting speech and language therapists (SLTs) frequently rely on experience and expert opinion to inform treatment. One approach that is commonly used within dysphagia management, in spite of a lack of existing evidence to support its efficacy, is the use of oral trials, otherwise known as swallow trials or tasters. This approach involves offering specified, limited amounts of oral diet or fluids for those at risk of aspiration or choking if full amounts are taken orally and may be recommended for rehabilitation or quality of life.Methods & ProceduresA total of nine SLTs working in one acute hospital volunteered to participate in focus groups in order to discuss their experience and clinical reasoning for using oral trials within one inpatient hospital setting in the UK. The objectives of this study were (1) to explore how oral trials are used within one inpatient hospital; (2) to consider the barriers and facilitators to the approach; and (3) to consider why this approach may be favoured over other evidenced dysphagia therapies. A grounded theory approach was used to guide data analysis, using two independent coders to identify themes within the focus groups.Outcomes & ResultsAnalysis of data revealed the following themes: (1) delivering oral trials requires ‘a whole team approach’; (2) SLTs vary recommendations based on patient and environmental factors; and (3) oral trials as a holistic approach.Conclusions & ImplicationsThe use of oral trials was considered by SLTs to be a holistic and flexible approach which can be adapted to a range of patient and environmental factors. Although clinical experience guided rationale, an understanding of the principles of neuroplasticity and swallow physiology was also integral to the approach. Further research is warranted to investigate the use and efficacy of oral trials across the SLT community and within specific patient groups and different environments.
Digital forensic investigation methodology for Storage Space: Based on the NIST digital forensic process
Authors: Kim Junho , Lee Sangjin , Jeong Doowon 
Published: January 2022

AbstractFor forensic examiners, investigating the RAID systems of servers has been challenging, as the examiners must reconstruct multiple high‐capacity disks to identify digital evidence. Software‐based RAID systems’ use has been released for personal use, so examiners should consider RAID systems even when they investigate personal computers. Although there is a high probability that the software‐based RAID will become a target of crime, there has been little research into digital forensic methodology for software‐based RAID, as exemplified by Storage Space. In this paper, we introduce details about the structure of Storage Space found through reverse engineering. Storage Space was analyzed by applying the digital forensic process of NIST. We explain how to reconstruct a virtual disk configured using Storage Space and develop an automated tool to do so. To evaluate our study and the tool developed, we created an experimental scenario and describe in detail the forensic procedure and technical methods for the analysis of Storage Space. Our research can be used as the basis of forensic investigations for Storage Space.

Published: January 2022

AbstractIntroductionA revised intrapartum cardiotocography (CTG) classification was introduced in Sweden in 2017. The aims of the revision were to adapt to the international guideline published in 2015 and to adjust the classification of CTG patterns to current evidence regarding intrapartum fetal physiology. This study aimed to investigate adverse neonatal outcomes before and after implementation of the revised CTG classification.Material and MethodsA before‐and‐after design was used. Cohort I (n = 160 210) included births from June 1, 2014 through May 31, 2016 using the former CTG classification, and cohort II (n = 166 558) included births from June 1, 2018 through May 31, 2020 with the revised classification. Data were collected from the Swedish Pregnancy and Neonatal Registers. The primary outcome was moderate to severe neonatal hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE 2–3). Secondary outcomes were birth acidemia (umbilical artery pH <7.05 and base excess < −12 mmol/L or pH <7.00), A‐criteria for neonatal hypothermia treatment, 5‐min Apgar scores <4 and <7, neonatal seizures, meconium aspiration, neonatal mortality and delivery mode. Logistic regression was used (period II vs period I), and results are presented as adjusted odds ratios (aORs) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs).ResultsThere were no statistically significant differences in HIE 2–3 (aOR 1.27; 95% CI 0.97–1.66), proportion of neonates meeting A‐criteria for hypothermia treatment (aOR 0.96; 95% CI 0.89–1.04) or neonatal mortality (aOR 0.68; 95% CI 0.39–1.18) between the cohorts. Birth acidemia (aOR 1.36; 95% CI 1.25–1.48), 5‐min Apgar scores <7 (aOR 1.27; 95% CI 1.18–1.36) and <4 (aOR 1.40; 95% CI 1.17–1.66) occurred more often in cohort II. The absolute risk difference for HIE 2–3 was 0.02% (95% CI 0.00–0.04). Operative delivery (vacuum or cesarean) rates were lower in cohort II (aOR 0.82; 95% CI 0.80–0.85 and aOR 0.94; 95% CI 0.91–0.97, respectively).ConclusionsAlthough not statistically significant, a small increase in the incidence of HIE 2–3 after implementation of the revised CTG classification cannot be excluded. Operative deliveries were fewer but incidences of acidemia and low Apgar scores were higher in the latter cohort. This warrants further in‐depth analyses before a full re‐evaluation of the revised classification can be made.
Subjectively felt and objectively measured: Wellbeing in the context of globalization
Authors: Janicki Wojciech , Dłużewska Anna 
Published: January 2022

AbstractThe article contributes to the discussion on the relationship between wellbeing (WB) and subjective wellbeing (SWB). Our aim is to develop a method for measuring SWB by creating a moving matrix scale that will be a reference point in different communities' research on SWB. To do so, we analyzed the relationship between objective WB‐SWB indicators in 146 countries and other political entities where studies on self‐reported life satisfaction (SRLS) were conducted between 2005 and 2017. SRLS values were compared with the values of several of the most frequently accepted objective WB indicators. Additionally, we analyzed variables showing the level of advancement within the process of globalization. The results confirmed that a comparative scale is crucial in determining SWB. Therefore, in many societies, there is a growing awareness of the gap between one's own quality of life and that of others. There is a strong link between HDI and SRLS on a global scale, as well as in the subgroups of high and medium developed countries; this link is missing in poorly developed countries. The disconnection between objective and subjectively perceived change in the situation—that is, the improvement in living standards—does not translate into increased life satisfaction.

Published: January 2022

AbstractSacred natural sites (SNSs) are examples of community‐level governance for sustainable management of natural resources, which can greatly benefit nature conservation. However, the lack of a comprehensive understanding of the role of SNSs in conservation has resulted in overly simplistic classifications of SNSs that challenge current SNS research and conservation practice. Here, we propose an SNS classification framework based on the types and levels of material and spiritual services that SNSs provide, and applied this framework in the Khawa Karpo, an important sacred area in the Tibetan region of China based on detailed field surveys conducted from 2000 to 2004 and 2015 to 2017 that addressed six types of SNSs, including sacred mountains, Ri Vgags, sacred lakes, sacred rocks, sacred caves, and sacred trees. We found that SNSs in this region played a crucial role in sustaining traditional cultures and providing material services. Adoption of our classification framework will assist with the development of management strategies and targeted conservation actions for individual SNSs, thus improving conservation levels particularly in the Tibetan region.
Collecting and Exhibiting Traditional and Popular Alpine Folk Music in Austria—A Case Study
Authors: Biedermann Bernadette 
Published: January 2022

AbstractThis paper presents a case study dedicated to a particular genre of folk music popular in the Alpine countries, and its collection and display in Austria in connection with a project in which the author was involved. The theoretical and practical questions related to this study reflect the needs and challenges posed by this topic in terms of museum documentation and communication. The aim of the paper is to expand the current discourse in the field by discussing the relationships between this genre of music as an intangible social phenomenon and as tangible cultural heritage. The paper presents the case study in an international context of discussion on the display of music culture and the role of sound in exhibitions, and connects theoretical considerations with practical approaches.
Improving the efficiency of last‐mile package deliveries using hybrid driver helpers
Authors: Lu Shih‐Hao , Suzuki Yoshinori , Clottey Toyin 
Published: January 2022

AbstractAn approach widely used by parcel delivery companies to deal with increased shipping volumes, especially during peak seasons, is the use of temporary workers called driver helpers. There are two types of driver helpers: (1) dependent helpers (DH) who work alongside drivers to deliver packages on daily routes, and (2) independent helpers (IDH) who do not travel with the drivers but rather work alone at their assigned locations. The standard practice is for each helper to be used as either a DH or an IDH, but not both. This article introduces the concepts of multitasking to the parcel delivery literature by proposing a new type of helper called the hybrid helper, which allows parcel carriers to utilize each helper as both a DH and an IDH in the same route. The hybrid‐helper concept has several advantages over the existing DH or IDH concepts, including (1) reducing the transfer time of IDHs between locations, (2) allowing multiple delivery points to be serviced concurrently, and (3) increasing the daily work time of each helper. We develop a mathematical model that allows a vehicle to visit the same node more than once to enable IDH operations at selected nodes by a DH. Both numerical and field experiments show that our model outperforms other methods. Our results provide implications to practitioners on effective ways of utilizing helpers and suggest the need for future research to consider helpers in a broader context.

AimTo test the efficacy of a group social skills intervention on social functioning in adolescents with a brain injury.MethodThirty‐six adolescents (mean age 14y, SD 1y 8mo, age range 12y 1mo–16y 3mo; 17 females) with acquired brain injury (ABI; ≥12mo postintervention; n=19) or cerebral palsy (n=17) were randomly allocated to the Program for the Education in Enrichment of Relational Skills (PEERS) or usual care. The primary outcome was the Social Skills Improvement System‐Rating Scales (SSIS‐RS). Secondary outcomes were scores derived from the Test of Adolescent Social Skills Knowledge‐Revised (TASSK‐R), Social Responsiveness Scale, Second Edition, and Quality of Socialization Questionnaire. Between‐group differences postintervention and at the 26‐week retention time point were compared using linear mixed modelling for continuous outcomes and Poisson regression for count data.ResultsThere were no between‐group differences on the primary outcome (SSIS‐RS). Regarding the secondary outcomes, the PEERS‐exposed group achieved significantly greater improvements on the TASSK‐R (mean difference [MD]=6.8, 95% confidence interval [CI]=4.8–8.8, p<0.001), which were maintained at the 26‐week retention time point (MD=8.1, 95% CI=6.0–10.2, p<0.001). PEERS was also associated with a significant increase in parent‐reported invited get‐togethers at 26 weeks (incidence rate ratio=4.0, 95% CI=1.0–16.0, p=0.05).InterpretationAdolescents with brain injury who completed the PEERS learned and retained social knowledge and increased social participation.

AbstractAimTo estimate the prevalence, and evaluate presentation, treatment response, treatment side effects, and long‐term seizure outcomes in all known cases of children with Down syndrome and infantile spasms on the island of Ireland.MethodThis was a 10‐year retrospective multicentre review of clinical records and investigations, focusing on treatment response, side effects, and long‐term outcomes.ResultsThe prevalence of infantile spasms in Down syndrome was 3.0% during the study period. Fifty‐four infants were identified with median age of spasm onset at 201 days (interquartile range [IQR] 156–242). Spasm cessation was achieved in 88% (n=46) at a median of 110 days (IQR 5–66). The most common first‐line medications were prednisolone (n=20, 37%), vigabatrin (n=18, 33.3%), and sodium valproate (n=9, 16.7%). At follow‐up (median age 23.7mo; IQR 13.4–40.6), 25% had ongoing seizures and 85% had developmental concerns. Treatment within 60 days did not correlate with spasm cessation. Seventeen children (31%) experienced medication side effects, with vigabatrin accounting for 52%.InterpretationPrednisolone is an effective and well‐tolerated medication for treating infantile spasms in Down syndrome. Despite the high percentage of spasm cessation, developmental concerns and ongoing seizures were common.
Are all glucose solutions used for oGTT equal?
Authors: Heinemann Lutz 
Published: January 2022

AbstractAimsOral glucose tolerance tests (oGTT) are widely used for the diagnosis of diabetes. It is well known that the reproducibility of oGTT is poor and that a number of factors have an impact on the outcome of this diagnostic test. It appears as if one aspect, the oral glucose solution (OGS) used has not achieved much attention. Very little is published about this, despite the fact that apparently most often not a pure and freshly prepared glucose solution is used but a ready‐to‐use solution prepared by a (pharmaceutical) company.MethodsA literature search was performed to find respective publications.ResultsIt appears as if no or only a small number of not adequately designed clinical‐experimental studies have been performed comparing different OGS head‐to‐head.ConclusionsThe composition of such OGS, including the excipients added to improve taste and smell, can have an impact on blood glucose increase after drinking the given OGS. Such factors can also have an impact on endogenous insulin secretion. If significant differences in the blood glucose excursions exist depending on which OGS is used, this calls for the use of a standardized OGS in oGTT to have a comparable outcome everywhere.
