description: IT governance has the potential to perpetuate power imbalances in international organisations. Important IT decisions are frequently made in the headquarters and then propagated through the rest of the organisation. This pattern can indicate a well-organised centralised IT governance focusing on security and efficiency. The same pattern, however, cannot only impede innovation and flexibility but also has the potential to continue colonial decision structures, especially as headquarters are often in the global north. Through 27 interviews with NGO representatives – a sector that should be highly motivated to counter postcolonial tendencies – we examine IT governance structures. We observe indications of a mismatch between organisational goals and IT governance structures that can only be explained when considering postcolonialism. We need to combine explanation approaches from IT governance and postcolonial theory to explain the observed phenomenon fully. Moreover, we critically comment on IT-related decision-making structures and call for more effort in research and practice to decolonise IT and IT governance.

description: IT governance (ITG) is crucial in achieving IT strategic alignment, but many organizations find this to be an elusive goal. We thus expand ITG into two components: ITG mechanisms and ITG principles. We propose that beyond the mere option of ITG mechanisms, organizations must fully embrace the broader “spirit” of ITG, which occurs when an organization is committed to ITG principles coupled with top leadership support. To test our theorization, we first developed and validated two new measures. We used the ITG framework of COBIT to create a measure of commitment to COBIT principles (CCP), and we found that CCP fully mediates ITG mechanisms’ relationship with strategic alignment. We thus illuminate a missing link between adopting ITG mechanisms and achieving strategic alignment by demonstrating the need to focus on ITG principles. We show that top leadership support for IT, including support at the board level, not only enhances CCP but also directly contributes to improved strategic alignment. Our study establishes that adopting ITG mechanisms is necessary but insufficient for achieving strategic alignment. Effective organizations go beyond implementing isolated ITG mechanisms; they fully embrace integrated COBIT-based principles, guided by a strong infusion of top leadership support, including board-level support.

description: Stents are lifesaving mechanical devices that re‐establish essential blood flow to the coronary circulation after significant vessel occlusion due to coronary vessel disease or thrombolytic blockade. Improvements in stent surface engineering over the last 20 years have seen significant reductions in complications arising due to restenosis and thrombosis. However, under certain conditions such as diabetes mellitus (DM), the incidence of stent‐mediated complications remains 2–4‐ fold higher than seen in non‐diabetic patients. The stents with the largest market share are designed to target the mechanisms behind neointimal hyperplasia (NIH) through anti‐proliferative drugs that prevent the formation of a neointima by halting the cell cycle of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Thrombosis is treated through dual anti‐platelet therapy (DAPT), which is the continual use of aspirin and a P2Y12 inhibitor for 6–12 months. While the most common stents currently in use are reasonably effective at treating these complications, there is still significant room for improvement. Recently, inflammation and redox stress have been identified as major contributing factors that increase the risk of stent‐related complications following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The aim of this review is to examine the mechanisms behind inflammation and redox stress through the lens of PCI and its complications and to establish whether tailored targeting of these key mechanistic pathways offers improved outcomes for patients, particularly those where stent placement remains vulnerable to complications. In summary, our review highlights the most recent and promising research being undertaken in understanding the mechanisms of redox biology and inflammation in the context of stent design. We emphasize the benefits of a targeted mechanistic approach to decrease all‐cause mortality, even in patients with diabetes.
Il contesto linguistico della letteratura italiana dell'emigrazione. Sondaggi

description: The culture of the Italian immigrant experience worldwide has been characterized by daily dynamics of adaptations and transformations deeply shaping the processes of identity-formation. By looking at the diverse and decade-long linguistic metamorphoses we can start to reclaim the importance of a literary production too often overlooked (both in its âinstitutionalâ works and in its more personal autobiographical expressions) â and at the same time re-evaluate the complex creativity of its linguistic fabric.

description: Sharing and reusing data across organisations is central to the European data strategy and its transformation towards creating a data-driven economy. Currently, data sharing, when it occurs, is typically facilitated through centralised platforms or bilateral integration solutions, which are increasingly failing to meet requirements for flexibility, trustworthiness, and self-determination over shared data. Data spaces have emerged as a promising solution, built on distributed and shared infrastructure and governance frameworks. However, widespread adoption requires consensus on the necessary organisational and technical capabilities. This paper proposes a data service model and design principles for data services to clarify choices and guide decision-making. We adopt a novel perspective by conceptualising data spaces as meta-organisations to guide an Action Design Research study, utilising privileged access to key large-scale European data space projects in the mobility and automotive sectors. This paper not only develops a nascent design theory for data spaces, but also offers a practical framework, breaking down complex challenges into actionable, scientifically validated components – for further growth and adoption of data spaces.
Considerazioni storico-linguistiche e storico-religiose intorno ai nomi dei Magi evangelici: Prolegomena alla redazione di un Namenbuch

description: In his still superb article dedicated to the Magi (Mages), published in the 10th volume of the Dic tion naire d’archéologie chrétienne et de liturgie (Paris 1931), Henri Leclerq sharply wrote: “La liste des noms des mages dans les diverses langues et dans les diverses littératures serait assez longue et, jus qu’à présent, ces noms n’ont pas été suffisamment établis et discutés”. Exactly after eightyfive years from that crude statement we can affirm that, notwithstanding the publication of many ad di tional sources, the situation is still the same. The present articles offers a wide-ranging conspectus of the traditions concerning their names in the framework of the different Christian traditions.

description: Individuals with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) often have excessive daytime sleepiness and emotional/behavioral disturbances. The objective of this study was to examine whether daytime sleepiness was associated with these emotional/behavioral problems, independent of nighttime sleep-disordered breathing, or the duration of sleep. Caregivers of individuals with PWS (aged 3 to 25 years) completed the Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire (PSQ), Epworth Sleepiness Scale for Children and Adolescents (ESS-CHAD), and the parent version of the Developmental Behavior Checklist (DBC-P). Sleep adequacy was adjusted for age by computing sleep duration against age-specific recommendations. The associations between ESS-CHAD and the total DBC and its subscale scores were evaluated by linear regression, adjusted for sleep-related breathing difficulties, sleep adequacy, and body mass index (BMI). There were 54 responses for individuals with PWS (including 22 males) aged 4.4–24.0 (mean 12.5) years. Daytime sleepiness predicted a substantial proportion of the variance in total DBC-P scores in the unadjusted model (28%; β = 0.028; p < 0.001) and when adjusted for sleep adequacy, BMI, and sleep-related breathing difficulties (29%; β = 0.023; p = 0.007). This relationship was not moderated by BMI Z-scores, but the relationship was more prominent for children younger than 12 years than for children older than 12 years. Conclusions: These findings provide preliminary novel evidence that daytime sleepiness may drive the expression of emotional/behavioral disturbances, and should be explored as a potential modifiable risk factor for these disturbances in PWS, particularly pre-adolescent children.

description: This work considers the solution of the Dirichlet problem for the Laplace equation in the case when the domain is bounded by a circle. The Laplace equation and its basic properties are introduced, and the transition to polar coordinates is carried out. The formulation of the Dirichlet problem on a circle with given boundary conditions is presented. The method of solving this problem using trigonometric series and the Fourier series to satisfy the boundary conditions is described. Specific examples of solving the Dirichlet problem on a circle with illustrations and numerical results are provided. In conclusion, the importance and practical significance of the obtained solutions for various applied problems are emphasized.

description: Online review platforms frequently use rounded rating displays, rounding average ratings to the nearest half-star for simplicity. However, such practice can misguide consumers by creating discrepancies between displayed ratings and actual quality. For example, providers with nearly identical average ratings (e.g. 4.25 and 4.26) might be displayed as 4 and 4.5 stars, respectively, while significantly different providers (e.g. 3.76 and 4.25) might both appear as 4 stars. Such rounding misguides consumers’ pre-purchase expectations and can negatively influence post-purchase satisfaction when consumers’ experiences fail to match expectations. Despite the prevalence of rounded rating displays, their impact on subsequent review behavior remains underexplored. Using a regression discontinuity design and a controlled experiment, we investigate how rounded rating displays influence review generation. Our findings reveal that ratings rounded up (compared to rounded down) prompt consumers to leave reviews with lower ratings and less positive but more negative sentiments. Furthermore, lower rating dispersion and higher information diversity intensify these effects by strengthening consumers’ confidence on pre-purchase expectations. This study underscores the significant role of design features, such as rounded rating displays, in shaping review behavior, providing valuable insights for platform designers seeking to mitigate unintended consequences and improve the way platforms present information.

description: Aims/hypothesis: Mortality has declined in people with type 1 diabetes in recent decades. We examined how the pattern of decline differs by country, age and sex, and how mortality trends in type 1 diabetes relate to trends in general population mortality. Methods: We assembled aggregate data on all-cause mortality during the period 2000–2016 in people with type 1 diabetes aged 0–79 years from Australia, Denmark, Latvia, Scotland, Spain (Catalonia) and the USA (Kaiser Permanente Northwest). Data were obtained from administrative sources, health insurance records and registries. All-cause mortality rates in people with type 1 diabetes, and standardised mortality ratios (SMRs) comparing type 1 diabetes with the non-diabetic population, were modelled using Poisson regression, with age and calendar time as quantitative variables, describing the effects using restricted cubic splines with six knots for age and calendar time. Mortality rates were standardised to the age distribution of the aggregate population with type 1 diabetes. Results: All six data sources showed a decline in age- and sex-standardised all-cause mortality rates in people with type 1 diabetes from 2000 to 2016 (or a subset thereof), with annual changes in mortality rates ranging from −2.1% (95% CI −2.8%, −1.3%) to −5.8% (95% CI −6.5%, −5.1%). All-cause mortality was higher for male individuals and for older individuals, but the rate of decline in mortality was generally unaffected by sex or age. SMR was higher in female individuals than male individuals, and appeared to peak at ages 40–70 years. SMR declined over time in Denmark, Scotland and Spain, while remaining stable in the other three data sources. Conclusions/interpretation: All-cause mortality in people with type 1 diabetes has declined in recent years in most included populations, but improvements in mortality relative to the non-diabetic population are less consistent.

description: Information security policy (ISP) training plays an important role in enhancing organisational resilience against cyber threats by providing employees with the necessary knowledge and skills to effectively identify, prevent, and respond to security breaches. This research aims to explore how the use of deterrence arguments and threat arguments can enhance the effectiveness of ISP training. We theorise how ISP training affects employees’ ISP compliance behaviour by arguing for a transfer of training lens to study the effectiveness of ISP training. The results of our field experiment with triangulated data suggest that the effect of argumentative-enhanced ISP training is twofold. First, employees who participated in enhanced training sessions with deterrence and threat arguments demonstrated superior training outputs after the training, which, in turn, translated into a sustained training outcome three weeks after the training. Second, we also find evidence that threat arguments can reinforce the application of training outputs in the maintenance stage of learned behaviours. With this applied research study, we contribute to the research and practice by providing empirical evidence of the effectiveness of ISP training designs.

description: In response to the increasing relevance of artificial intelligence (AI) for competitive advantage, firms can utilize the capabilities of AI-savvy partners via boundary resources. Due to AI facets, such as autonomy, inscrutability, and learning, this strategy holds substantial promises for productivity and innovation, yet is not free of risks, given the strategic importance of AI and potential dependencies in this key area. As the antecedents and consequences of this strategy are unclear, we build a theoretical framework about these aspects based on the relational view of competitive advantage. We test our hypotheses on a longitudinal dataset and find that internal AI knowledge and the presence of a chief information officer in the top management team are associated with selecting AI boundary resources for process improvements. High external market pressure exerted by digital ventures and the AI sophistication of industry peers are positively associated with selecting AI boundary resources for product improvements. We further find that the use of AI boundary resources for process improvements is positively associated with operational efficiency and the use of AI boundary resources for product improvements with increasing sales. We derive implications for IS research on managing AI and boundary resources, as well as managerial practice.

description: The last ten years have witnessed the rapid integration of financial technology (FinTech) with capital market infrastructure worldwide, providing substantial socioeconomic benefits. However, despite widespread recognition, the measurement of FinTech’s perceived security and adoption has received very little attention. To fill this gap, this study developed a continuum and multidimensional instrument to measure the complex, dynamic, and synergistic roles of perceived security issues in the adoption and utilization of FinTech services. Employing a rigorous five-stage scale development process, with samples from the U.S. and U.K. 1,377 FinTech users, and a novel methodological approach, exploratory structural equation modeling (ESEM) bifactor analysis, a five-dimensional FinTech Security Adoption Scale (FT-SAS) was developed. ESEM is an innovative statistical approach that combines statistical advances in Exploratory and Confirmatory Factor Analysis, and Structural Equation Modeling within a single analytical framework, thus providing a more flexible approach for assessing factorial structures. The results support the notion that the measurement of FinTech security follows an underlying continuum globally aligned with technology acceptance assumptions. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to apply the bifactor-ESEM framework to the scientific literature on FinTech, thereby providing new theoretical and empirical avenues for financial information systems research.

Structured Time Model for Quantum Chemistry: A 5D Time-Field Perspective (Work in Progress)
Creators: name: MacDonald, Nathaniel
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: This pre-print introduces a novel hypothesis by Nathaniel MacDonald suggesting that an additional time-like dimension—derived from a 5D time-field—may provide subtle corrections to hydrogenic energy levels in quantum chemistry. The manuscript examines how such a structured temporal framework could outperform or match Dirac-QED calculations when compared against NIST spectroscopic data. While initial results are promising, this work remains \emph{in progress} and open to further derivations, rigorous statistical testing, multi-electron validation, and deeper exploration of potential causality constraints.* edit After some re-checking, I realized there were errors in the residual calculations comparing STM to Dirac-QED in this paper. The math and derivations behind the Structured Time Model are still sound, but the numerical claims need correcting. I’m currently working on updating the analysis with accurate values and a refined parameter fit. Thanks to everyone who’s been reading, supporting, and helping improve this work—science is a process, and I’m fully committed to getting it right.

description: Objectives: Identify the number, type, scope and quality of economic evaluations of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health programs. Methods: A systematic review of peer-reviewed and grey literature was conducted for articles published from 2010 to 2020 that reported a full economic evaluation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health programs. Data extraction included: type of economic evaluation, comparators, data sources and concerns, and outcome measures. Methodological quality was assessed using the Drummond checklist. Results: Thirteen publications met inclusion criteria: two cost-consequence analyses, two cost-effectiveness analyses, five cost-utility analyses, and four cost-benefit/return on investment analyses. Most studies (n=10) adopted a health system perspective and used a range of key data sources for economic analyses. Ten studies identified data access limitations that restricted analyses and two studies identified data quality concerns. Twelve studies were of good methodological quality and one was of average quality. Conclusions: Despite significant investment in strategies to close the gap in health outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, there is limited evidence about what constitutes a cost-effective investment in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander healthcare. Implications for public health: More economic evaluation is required to justify the significant investment in health programs for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

description: Biological invasions are a leading threat to biodiversity globally. Increasingly, ecosystems experience multiple introductions, which can have significant effects on patterns of diversity. The way these communities assemble will depend partly on whether rare and common alien species respond to environmental predictors in the same manner as rare and common native species, but this is not well understood. To examine this question across four national parks in south-eastern Australia, we sampled the understory plant community of eucalypt-dominated dry forest subject to multiple plant introductions. The drivers of diversity and turnover in alien and native species of contrasting frequency of occurrence (low, intermediate, and high) were each tested individually. We found alien species diversity and turnover were both strongly associated with abiotic conditions (e.g., soil pH), while distance had little influence because of the greater extent of occurrence and more homogeneous composition of common aliens. In contrast, native species diversity was not associated with abiotic conditions and their turnover was as strongly influenced by distance as by abiotic conditions. In both alien and native species, however, the most important predictors of turnover changed with frequency of occurrence. Although local coexistence appears to be facilitated by life history trade-offs, species richness of aliens and natives was negatively correlated and native species might face greater competition in areas with more neutral soils (e.g., pH > ~5.5) where alien richness and relative frequency were both highest. We conclude that diversity and turnover in the generally more widespread alien species are mainly driven by species sorting along an environmental gradient associated with pH and nutrient availability, whereas turnover of native species is driven by more neutral processes associated with dispersal limitation. We show alien and native plant species respond to different environmental factors, as do rare and common species within each component.
Biondelli e la lingua dei fiori

description: In his Studii sulle lingue furbesche (1846) Bernardino Biondelli devoted some pages to “Lingua dei fiori” (flowers languages), a jargon based on rhyme, which was in use in the Ottoman Empire, during the 18th and the 19th century. This part of Biondelli’s work has been unjustly neglected. “Lingua dei fiori” shows a close similarity to the Anglo-American rhyming slang, which has been spoken in England (especially in London), at least since the 18th century, by thieves, chaunters, patterers, navvies, and which later has reached United States and Australia, where it was used by thieves,
gamblers, carnies, jazzmen, students and especially in the prisons.

description: The article investigates the phonological process known as propagation, well attested in Central-Southern Italian dialects: the process can be described as the development of a non-etymological glide where are copied some features of an high vowel (or a glide) placed in an adjacent syllable. The manifestations of such a change in two dialects of the Southern Italy are illustrated: San Donato and Terelle, both settled in Val di Comino, in southern Lazio. Considerations on the phonological properties involved and the morphologisation of the process are developed.

description: Despite the growing proliferation of AI-based voice assistants in our daily lives, how different functions of AI-based voice assistants affect users’ post-adoption usage behaviours remains an under-investigated research question. This study explores the nature and causation of post-adoption usage behaviours (effective utilisation after initial adoption or diffusion) within the context of AI-based voice assistants. Using a sequential mixed-methods research design, we first identify the post-adoption usage behaviours of AI-based voice assistants as a multidimensional concept comprised of routine use and extended use, then develop a contextualised model by revealing technology-specific antecedents, cognitive beliefs, and boundary conditions. By integrating results from the quantitative study and qualitative study, we find that three technology affordances (i.e., anthropomorphism affordance, interactivity affordance, and personalisation affordance) are salient antecedents of two cognitive beliefs, which further affect users’ routine use and extended use of AI-based voice assistants. Additionally, we uncover use frequency as a boundary condition and obtain a complementary view of post-adoption usage of AI-based voice assistants. The empirical research findings can extend the post-adoption IS usage literature and provide practical implications for crafting user-centred functionalities to facilitate effective human-AI interactions.
ΕΣΧΑΡΑ. Una vexāta quaestiō etimologica del lessico greco
Creators: name: Sgarbi, Romano

Year: 2017

description: The paper explains the origin of the Greek lexeme ἐσχάρᾱ “hearth” from the point of view of various branches (archaeology, linguistics, anthropology) and looks into the cultural nature of the relevant referent. Besides it studies the lexicon pertinent to the basic notion of |INFLAMED WOOD| in Aryan, Slavonic, Latin, Germanic languages and identifies Hittite ēšḫar / išḫar “sacrificial blood” as the original paradigm for a loanword got into the Greek lexicon within the Micrasiatic area where a phenomenon of language alliance took origin (Gusmani). This work connects also the Greek lexematic series ἐσχάρᾱ, ἄδις, βόθρος, ἔαρ, αἷμα with the notions of |HOLLOW BRAZIER|, |SACRIFICAL BLOOD|, |VITAL LYMPH| and proves their considerable antiquity and partial survival up to now throught etymological paths.

B. Delbrück e la legge della Occasionelle Wortstellung
Creators: name: Vai, Massimo

description: Delbrück’s work about Indo-European syntax, especially his contribution to the analysis of Vedic syntax, is still a useful tool for those who want to deal with the study of ancient Indian syntax, with particular reference to methodological analysis of constituent order. In fact, the notions of basic and marked word order of sentences are already present in Delbrück’s perspective, along with the idea of constituent movements motivated, albeit through mechanisms of prosodic order, by the interface between syntax and information structure of the sentence. His most general law of Occasionelle Wortstellung should probably be differentiated into a set of movements of constituents, which can correspond to sentence orders functionally differentiated. However, the idea of reducing the apparent constituents order freedom of Vedic sentence to the interaction between a general basic word order and a general principle of movement determined by sentence information structure, makes Delbrück a true founder of the modern studies about sentence syntax.

description: Few studies have described the goals and wishes of parents caring for their children with rare diseases, specifically when children are unable to communicate their preferences directly. The purpose of this study was to describe the parent’s understanding of their child’s illness, goals of care, and what mattered most to their child from the parent’s perspective. Six families completed a feasibility study of the FAmily CEntered (FACE)-Rare pACP intervention. Qualitative content analysis was performed on transcripts of videotaped responses to the Respecting Choices Next Steps pACP Conversation facilitated conversation guide about the goals of care. Codes were grouped into themes, with direct participant quotations representing the themes. Five themes emerged: getting out and moving freely; feeling included and engaged; managing symptoms and disease burden; coordinating care among many care team members; and managing today and planning for the future. In the context of pACP, families reported that what mattered most to their children included the freedom of movement and human connection and engagement, while parents strived to be effective caregivers and advocates for their child with a rare and severely disabling disease.

description: In corporate-sponsored open source software development, company-employed developers become “insiders” to the OSS community, and therefore have two roles: they serve as a representative of their employing company, but may also identify as a member of the open source community. This study investigates what happens when identification with the company exceeds identification with the community (and vice versa), and also focuses on consequences when these insider roles come in conflict. Informed by social identity theory and organization-profession conflict theory, we report on two studies that predict identification imbalance to affect company turnover intention. Our first study is based on a survey of employed Linux kernel developers and uses polynomial regression to assess the effect of identification imbalance (and congruence) on company turnover intention. The second study extends our investigation beyond Linux and demonstrates that the effect of identification imbalance on turnover intention is mediated by role conflict. The findings suggest that turnover intention is lowest, when company and community identification match at high rather than low levels. We also find developers’ company career ambition influences how role conflict relates to company turnover intention. This study holds implications for theory and for managers in companies who engage with OSS communities.

description: Australian National standards recommend routine screening for all adults over 65 years by health organisations that provide care for patients with cognitive impairment. Despite this, screening rates are low and, when implemented, screening is often not done well. This qualitative pilot study investigates barriers and facilitators to cognitive screening for older people in rural and regional Victoria, Australia. Focus groups and interviews were undertaken with staff across two health services. Data were analysed via thematic analysis and contextualized within the i-PARIHS framework. Key facilitators of screening included legislation, staff buy-in, clinical experience, appropriate training, and interorganisational relationships. Collaborative implementation processes, time, and workloads were considerations in a recently accredited tertiary care setting. Lack of specialist services, familiarity with patients, and infrastructural issues may be barriers exacerbated in rural settings. In lieu of rural specialist services, interorganisational relationships should be leveraged to facilitate referring 'outwards' rather than 'upwards'.

description: The heightened sophistication of phishing attacks results in billions of dollars of financial losses, loss of intellectual property, and reputational damage to organisations. Past work examining determinants of phishing susceptibility has been dominated by cognitive theoretical perspectives. However, recent research has also revealed the importance of emotion in phishing susceptibility. This study expands our understanding of phishing susceptibility by adopting an affective lens. Using an integrative perspective of emotion, we build on the Affective Infusion Model (AIM) to predict the effects of valence, certainty, and arousal on phishing susceptibility. We pilot our manipulations (N = 241) and then test our hypotheses using a mock phishing experiment (N = 474) in which phishing messages are sent directly to participant inboxes. We demonstrate that messages inducing positive valence and low certainty result in higher phishing susceptibility. This study contributes to phishing literature by illuminating the critical role that emotion plays in altering recipients’ susceptibility in the processing of phishing messages and has implications for scholars, practitioners, and organisations.
