What is important to know about mumpreneurship? A bibliometric analysis
Authors: Rodrigues Margarida , Daniel Ana Dias , Franco Mário
Published: November 2022

Purpose

The past decade has seen growth in the number of businesswomen/mothers, known in the literature as mumpreneurs. As this is a recent, fragmented topic, no systematic literature review (SLR) has been carried out, justifying the objective defined here: scientific and bibliometric mapping of mumpreneurs.

Design/methodology/approach

To fulfil this aim, this SLR was supported by bibliometrics (performance analysis and scientific mapping) and the use of VosViewer software. A survey was conducted in Web of Science, and several documents were obtained dated between 2011 and 2021.

Findings

The results of this study show the existence of two clusters: Dilemma – motherhood and mumpreneurs, and the rise of the mumpreneur concept. The evidence obtained showed it is very important to address entrepreneurship from the perspective of entrepreneur-mothers, as at this stage of their lives, these women often find it difficult to reach a harmonious balance between work and family.

Practical implications

This study contributes to developing research in the area of entrepreneurship in general, and mumpreneurship in particular, through mapping the research done on the latter topic, as well as identifying its main contributions to theory and practice.

Originality/value

This study is innovative in underlining the relevance of mumpreneurship in the context of research in the area of entrepreneurship, and how this topic can be crucial to release women’s entrepreneurial potential.
Transformation of the office: territorial behaviour and place attachment in shared desk design
Authors: Frankó Luca , Erdélyi Ajna , Dúll Andrea
Published: November 2022

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to present an environmental psychological case study regarding an office design change. The employees of the researched company had the chance to decide whether to stay in the classic open office set-up or to switch to a shared desk supplemented by a one-day-a-week home office possibility. The authors examined the development of participants’ territorial behaviour and place attachment.

Design/methodology/approach

The given organizational situation is a quasi-experimental design; the variables were examined via questionnaire in a longitudinal model. Quantitative measurement was supplemented with focus group discussions.

Findings

The degree of personalization (a type of territorial behaviour) decreased significantly not only among those who lost their permanent workstations – as we expected – but also in the entire population. Workplace attachment stagnated for the entire population, but workstation attachment showed a significant decrease among those who switched to the shared desk.

Research limitations/implications

The limitations and the advantages are also followed by the nature of a case study: high ecological validity with relatively low sample size.

Practical implications

Redesigning an office is never just an economic or interior design issue, but a psychological one. This paper provides practical environmental psychological insights into implementing office designs without permanent individual workstations.

Originality/value

This paper presents the environmental psychological background of shared desk design implementation. The authors point out the significance of repressing personalization behaviour and as per the authors’ knowledge, they are the first to introduce the concept of workstation attachment.
How does patriotism and institutional support affect the social entrepreneurial orientation (SEO) in the presence of social valuation and experiential learning for social ventures
Authors: Makeel Rimsha , Ashraf Jawaria , Ariyesti Fitri Rini , Ali Sumran
Published: November 2022

Purpose

The individuals take an active interest in society to change it into a better one. For this reason, this study aims to investigate the influence of patriotism with the institutional framework on social entrepreneurial orientation (SEO), which assists us in improving the social welfare activities with socially friendly business and business operations to maintain the existing organization position by engaging potential customers and starting a new social venture for gaining the institutional and external stakeholders support in the competitive environment.

Design/methodology/approach

In this study, the authors employed the quantitative offline survey approach to investigate the proposed relationship with 228 valid responses from entrepreneurial organizations holding social ventures as small or big projects in Pakistan.

Findings

This study’s findings revealed that patriotism positively affects SEO, and institutional support partially mediates the relationship between patriotism and SEO. While social valuation positively strengthens the relationship between patriotism and institutional support and patriotism and SEO. Likewise, experiential learning strengthens the positive relationship between institutional support and SEO.

Practical implications

This study found that institutional support is vital in helping entrepreneurs to create institutional designs and strategies to cope with dynamic and socioeconomic problems. Moreover, this study benefits policymakers and government officials to make strategic decisions based on a sense of self-worth by adopting the opportunities to raise public awareness about social organizations' importance and expand social capital.

Originality/value

The previous literature addresses patriotism mainly in social entrepreneurship instead of SEO. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is the first to explore and show particular ways of SEO to country growth.
The moderating effect of external financing on the relationship between integrated reporting and firm value in Egypt
Authors: Abogazia Abdellatif Hussein , Hashim Hafiza Aishah , Salleh Zalailah , Ettish Abdou Ahmed
Published: November 2022

Purpose

This study aims to investigate the moderating effect of external financing needs on the relationship between the disclosure level of integrated reporting (IR) and firm value using evidence from Egypt.

Design/methodology/approach

This study uses a panel regression analysis for a matched sample of 50 companies listed on the Egyptian Stock Exchange (EGX), specifically from EGX100. The sample covers four years (2017–2020). The current study uses content analysis to measure IR and Tobin’s Q as a proxy for firm value.

Findings

The findings reveal a significant positive relationship between the disclosure level of IR and firm value. In addition, the authors find that external financing needs moderate the relationship between IR and firm value. It is concluded that the higher the disclosure level of IR content, the higher the firm’s value, and that this relationship strengthens in firms with high needs for external financing.

Practical implications

Several practical implications can be derived from the results of the current study. Policymakers and regulators can impose mandatory requirements for IR in Egypt. It also opens new insights for board members, managers, analysts and auditors in forming financing decisions based on annual reports.

Originality/value

The present study has a novel insight from a developing country and significant contributions to the extant literature. The study provides empirical evidence from an emerging economy and an insight into how external financing can be used for firms with different levels of IR. It also provides a comprehensive disclosure index to estimate the level of IR.
Foreign divestments: a review and research agenda
Authors: Baker H. Kent , Kumar Deepak , Rani Neelam
Published: November 2022

Purpose

Foreign divestment of subsidiaries is a growing research field. The global increase in investments has led to more divestments. However, much about the processes and circumstances leading to foreign divestments (FDs) requires further investigation. This study aims to review and consolidate the existing literature on foreign divestment and identify avenues for future research.

Design/methodology/approach

This study performs a systematic literature review and bibliometric analysis of studies on FDs to highlight the traditional and emerging perspectives in the field. This work examines foreign divestment theories based on operations, human resources, finance and marketing business functions.

Findings

This study sets forth a basic foreign divestment framework and highlights potential research areas. Future studies should expand to emerging economies, explore complex relationships, distinguish foreign divestment types and identify the limits of various theories and perspectives.

Originality/value

This study discusses traditional theories such as economies of scale, portfolio adjustment, reverse eclectic, real options and transaction cost economies. This study also examines emerging perspectives: attention-based, behavioral, committedness, contingency, favoritism, flexibility, hysteresis, legitimation, network and resource-based views. This study uses traditional and emerging theories to explain foreign divestment decisions in different business functions.
The whereabouts of interorganizational learning: a maritime case study
Authors: Pareliussen Bjarne , Giskeødegård Marte Fanneløb , Æsøy Vilmar
Published: November 2022

Purpose

This paper aims to present the results from a case study that investigated interorganizational learning in a buyer and seller relationship in the context of the maritime industry. This examination emphasized unraveling how the buyer and seller in the case study interacted and transferred knowledge when using a new business model that relied on servitization. Furthermore, this paper also addresses and discusses work practices, and the relationship between intra- and interorganizational learning.

Design/methodology/approach

A case study entailing the introduction of digital technology and a new business model into the maritime industry was used as an empirical example of interorganizational learning. The case study was conducted over a period of over one year and focused on a buyer of freight ships and a seller of servitized technology used on the ships. The organizations involved were the ships, the shipowner’s office and the ship engine supplier. The primary data acquisition methods comprised semi-structured interviews and observations.

Findings

The case identified interorganizational learning within the organizations at the individual, group and organizational levels, but only a few learning signs could be viewed as bidirectional interorganizational learning that can create knowledge and competitive advantages for the organizations. This is explained by the interorganizational learning context and the organizations’ motivation for learning at a strategic level.

Originality/value

This paper addresses an identified need for empirical studies on how interorganizational learning unfolds within organizations and connects to intraorganizational learning. Interorganizational learning studies often examine partnerships and joint ventures, in which partners have entered into these relationships with learning as a specific goal. By choosing a case in which interorganizational collaboration is anchored in operational matters, the study demonstrates the importance of motivation and agenda when entering into partnerships, concerning how inter- and intraorganizational learning develops within organizations. Furthermore, approaching these levels from an interrelated and practice-oriented perspective challenges established success criteria for interorganizational learning.
OX40L enhances the immunogenicity of dendritic cells and inhibits tumor metastasis in mice
Authors: Zhao Lin , Zhang Wenjie , Liu Meng , Jia Ruoyu , Wang Juncheng , Wang Fengge , Xu Yuekang
Published: November 2022

A well preserved immune system is a powerful tool to prevent foreign invasion or to suppress internal mutation, which must be tightly controlled by co‐stimulatory molecules in different pathophysiological conditions. One such critical molecule is OX40L expressed on activated antigen‐presenting cells (APCs). Consistently, its abnormality is associated with various immunological disorders such as autoinflammatory diseases and allergy. However, a comprehensive analysis of the immune‐moderating role of OX40L in dendritic cells (DCs), the most powerful APCs to initiate immune responses in vivo, and investigation of its anti‐tumor efficacy in the disease setting have not been performed properly. In this study, genetic approaches for both gain‐of‐function and reduction‐of‐function were employed to reveal that OX40L was required for the efficient presentation, but not uptake, of antigens by DCs to stimulate CD4+, as well as CD8+ T cells in vivo. As a result, CD4+ T cells were promoted towards Th1, but inhibited on Treg differentiation, by the LPS‐induced OX40L on DCs, which was supported by their altered expression of co‐inhibitory receptor, PD‐L1. CD8+ T cells, on the other hand, also enhanced their cytotoxicity towards target cells in response to OX40L expression on the DCs transferred in vivo. Finally, in a DC‐mediated tumor immunity model, the strong immunogenic roles of OX40L on DCs led to better metastasis inhibition in vivo. Collectively, our results demonstrate that OX40L could serve as a potential target in the DC‐based vaccine for enhanced anti‐tumor efficacy in vivo.
Natural history and ecological effects on the establishment and fate of Florida carpenter ant cadavers infected by the parasitic manipulator Ophiocordyceps camponoti‐floridani
Authors: Will Ian , Linehan Sara , Jenkins David G. , de Bekker Charissa
Published: November 2022

Ophiocordyceps fungi manipulate the behaviour of their ant hosts to produce a summit disease phenotype, thereby establishing infected ant cadavers onto vegetation at elevated positions suitable for fungal growth and transmission. Multiple environmental and ecological factors have been proposed to shape the timing, positioning and outcome of these manipulations.

We conducted a long‐term field study of Ophiocordyceps camponoti‐floridani infections of Camponotus floridanus ants—the Florida zombie ants. We propose and refine hypotheses on the factors that shape infection outcomes by tracking the occurrence of and fungal growth from hundreds of ant cadavers. We modelled and report these data in relation to weather, light, vegetation and attack by hyperparasites.

We investigated environmental factors that could affect the occurrence and location of newly manipulated ant cadavers. New cadaver occurrence was preferentially biased towards epiphytic Tillandsia bromeliads, canopy openness and summer weather conditions (an interactive effect of temperature, humidity and precipitation). Furthermore, we suggest that incident light at the individual cadaver level reflects microhabitat choice by manipulated ants or selective pressure on cadaver maintenance for conditions that improve fungal survival.

We also asked which environmental conditions affect fungal fitness. Continued fungal development of reproductive structures and putative transmission increased with moist weather conditions (interaction of humidity and precipitation) and canopy openness, while being reduced by hyperparasitic mycoparasite infections. Moreover, under the most open canopy conditions, we found an atypical Ophiocordyceps growth morphology that could represent a plastic response to conditions influenced by high light levels.

Taken together, we explore general trends and the effects of various ecological conditions on host and parasite disease outcomes in the Florida zombie ant system. These insights from the field can be used to inform experimental laboratory setups that directly test the effects of biotic and abiotic factors on fungus–ant interactions or aim to uncover underlying molecular mechanisms.

Financial constraints, short selling and corporate fraud: Evidence from China
Authors: Cao GuoHua , Geng WenJun , Zhang Jing , Li Qi
Published: November 2022

This study investigates the relationship between financial constraints and corporate fraud commission and its detection and the moderating role of short selling using a partial observable bivariate probit model. First, financially constrained corporations are more likely to commit fraud and their fraudulent behaviours are less likely to be detected. Second, short selling has an interesting effect on corporate fraud. On the one hand, short selling has a direct restraining effect on corporate fraud commission and increases the likelihood of corporate fraud detection. On the other hand, short selling plays a moderating role in the relationship between financial constraints and corporate fraud. This study contributes to the corporate fraud literature by analysing the factors influencing corporate fraud and provides theoretical support for regulators and managers in monitoring fraudulent behaviour.
Infrared spectra of North American automobile original finishes. XIV: Identification of Naphthol Red (C.I. Pigment Red 170) in finish layers and in color‐coordinated primers
Authors: Suzuki Edward M.
Published: November 2022

The naphthol reds are a family of intermediate performance monoazo organic pigments and three of its members, C.I. Pigment Red 148, C.I. Pigment Red 170 (Naphthol Red), and C.I. Pigment Red 188, have been cited as having original automotive paint applications. This study sought to determine which were used in North American vehicle original finishes (1974 to 2019) and how they can be differentiated and identified in situ in paint infrared spectra. Naphthol Red was the only such pigment found and based on a comprehensive survey, absorptions of this pigment were identified in spectra of 12 of the 373 (3%) red or maroon nonmetallic original finishes examined. Identification of Naphthol Red in an unknown finish can thus serve to limit the number of possible source vehicles and spectra of the twelve are presented to facilitate this examination, along with a list of the vehicles that the twelve were used on. For a comparative analysis, identification of this pigment in questioned and known specimens may provide some means of assessing the significance of the finding. Two Inmont red nonmetallic acrylic melamine basecoats, one of which contains Naphthol Red, were found to have quite unusual infrared spectra that are readily distinguished from those of the other 371 finishes examined, and they are discussed. Naphthol Red was also identified in some color‐coordinated automotive paint primers and its use appears to be more common in these than in the finish layers.
Amyloid A amyloidosis on medullary sponge kidney in a 28‐year‐old male with gout: A case report and literature review
Authors: Yilmaz Fatih , Acikalin Mustafa Fuat , Kasifoglu Timucin
Published: November 2022

Amyloidosis is a large group of diseases that occur through misfolding of extracellular proteins that accumulate in tissues and organs. Gout is the most common inflammatory arthritis worldwide and starts with the crystallization of uric acid within the joints and soft tissues. Although gouty arthritis is accompanied by inflammation, AA amyloidosis is rarely seen in patients with gout. Here we present a case of AA amyloidosis on the medullary sponge kidney in a 28‐year‐old man with gout. Our case had been diagnosed with gout 3 years previously, and his older brother was also diagnosed with early‐onset gout. As a result of the hyperuricemic nephropathy clinic and familial history, a whole gene sequence analysis was performed on the HPRT1 gene and UMOD gene, but no pathogenic changes were detected. Renal ultrasound revealed a bilateral medullary sponge kidney and amyloidosis was detected in the renal needle biopsy performed for the etiology of proteinuria. In our literature review, we found 16 cases in which gout was accompanied by AA amyloidosis. We present a 17th case and compare it with the other 16 cases.

Published: November 2022

Background

Squamous cell carcinoma of the lung—the second most common subtype of lung cancer—has a poorer prognosis than lung adenocarcinoma. However, in contrast to lobectomy, the oncological outcomes after segmentectomy for primary squamous cell carcinomas remain unknown; hence, this study investigated these outcomes.

Methods

Patients who underwent lobectomy or segmentectomy for clinically node‐negative primary lung squamous cell carcinoma with a whole tumor size of ≤ 30 mm on preoperative computed tomography scan during April 2010 to December 2020 were included in this study. The cumulative incidence of recurrence (CIR) among all included patients and propensity score‐matched patients were compared using the Gray method. Multivariate analysis using propensity scores and surgical procedures was performed using the Fine and Gray method.

Results

Overall, 230 patients were included in this study; of these, 172 (74.8%) underwent lobectomy and 58 (25.2%) underwent segmentectomy. No significant differences were observed in the CIR between patients who underwent lobectomy and those who underwent segmentectomy (5‐year rate 18.1% vs. 14.2%; p  =  0.787). Moreover, no significant differences in CIR were observed between the propensity score‐matched patients who underwent lobectomy (n = 43) and those who underwent segmentectomy (n   =  43) (8.6% vs. 8.0%; p = 0.571). Multivariable analysis was performed for CIR using the propensity score; it revealed that segmentectomy was not a significant predictor of worse CIR (hazard ratio, 0.987; p =   0.980).

Conclusions

Segmentectomy may be feasible for treating clinically early‐stage lung squamous cell carcinoma; its oncological outcomes are similar to those of lobectomy.
Histomorphological changes between short and long days in ovary guanacos (Lama guanicoe)
Authors: Correa E Lina Maria , Moreno Ricardo D. , Riveros José Luis
Published: November 2022

This is the first morpho‐histological comparison of guanaco ovaries between reproductive (long‐days) and non‐reproductive (short‐days) seasons, and oestrogen receptor‐alpha (ERα) and beta (ERβ) detection. Different stages of follicle development were found in the cortical area, but no corpus luteum was detected. The size and frequency of antral follicles and large atretic follicles were higher in long‐day ovaries than short‐days, consistent with ovarian activity in this season. Differential expression of ERα and ERβ was observed in follicles at different stages of development between short and long days. These data reveal histological and molecular differences between reproductive and non‐reproductive seasons of guanaco ovaries.
Skin to origin of mesenteric artery study (STOMA): prospective study of distances between stoma location and proximal superior mesenteric artery
Authors: Cao Amy Millicent Yesheng , Farsi Ali Hasan , Aljifri Alia Abdullah , Gilmore Andrew James
Published: November 2022

Background

Traditional siting of stomas, in the lower abdomen, has been guided by surgical dogma lacking evidence. In the lower abdomen, the combination of a thick and pendulous abdominal apron, can create a challenging and suboptimal site for a stoma. The anatomical determinant limiting delivery of a stoma to the abdominal skin is the distance of the SMA from the lower border of the pancreas. The aim of this cross‐sectional study was to compare the distance between the traditional stoma site, and upper abdominal stoma sites, to both the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) origin and SMA at the inferior border of the pancreas on abdominal computed tomography (CT).

Methods

A cross‐sectional study at a single academic university hospital of adult patients who underwent abdominal CT in Australia.

Results

Two hundred and thirteen patients were included. Stoma sites in the upper abdomen were 57‐76 mm shorter to the origin of the SMA and inferior border of the pancreas than those positioned at the traditional stoma site (P < 0.001). The mean panniculus thickness in the upper abdomen was 10 mm thinner than in the lower abdomen and increased with increasing BMI (P < 0.001). The ratio between the distance from the xiphisternum to umbilicus, and the umbilicus to pubic symphysis, was 1.10; this ratio increased with increasing BMI.

Conclusion

The distance of the SMA to the skin is always shorter in the upper abdomen compared to the traditional stoma site. Consideration should be given to placing stomas in the upper abdomen, particularly in overweight or obese patients.
An acute case of Pimelea elongata toxicity in cattle in western New South Wales
Authors: Cavanagh C , Parry S , Fraser C , Dominiak BC
Published: November 2022

In May 2019, 96 cattle died from Pimelea toxicity in a period of 19 days after potential exposure, with the first deaths occurring within 5 days. After examining the circumstances, we suspect that several factors contributed to the deaths. These included that recently purchased stock and transported had access to flooded land containing Pimelea elongata. This weed species contains simplexin and 18 other compounds. Roots, flowers and seeds are significantly more toxic than the stem, branches and leaves. We suspect that thirsty and hungry stock consumed seed and roots from flooded pastures and consumed lethal doses of simplexin. Blood tests were not good indicators of the conditions. Management strategies are suggested.
Impact of oral health integration training on children's receipt of oral assessment, fluoride varnish and dental services
Authors: Cohen‐Cline Hannah , Ahmed Jannate , Holtorf Megan , McKeane Laura , Bartelmann Sarah
Published: November 2022

Objectives

To evaluate the impact of an oral health integration training program on children's receipt of oral health and dental services in Southern Oregon.

Methods

Children under 19 years with at least 6 months of Medicaid enrolment and at least one healthcare visit from 2014 to 2018 were included. The treatment group included children with at least one visit with a trained provider (n = 5541); children with no visits with trained providers (n = 8273) were the control group. The percentage of the treatment group who received oral health assessments was calculated, and regression models were developed to estimate the difference in likelihood of receiving fluoride varnish and dental services between treatment and control groups.

Results

The percentage of children receiving oral health assessments increased over time. Visiting a trained provider was consistently associated, each year, with a greater likelihood of receipt of fluoride varnish and preventive and diagnostic dental services but was not associated with treatment dental services or dental sealants.

Conclusions

This study reports evidence for the overall impact of an oral health integration training on children's receipt of oral and dental services. Health systems implementing these types of training strategies should consider how to reach specific underserved subgroups, increase paediatric dentists, and expand efforts to include older children.
Chronic kidney disease begets heart failure and vice versa: temporal associations between heart failure events in relation to incident chronic kidney disease in type 2 diabetes

Published: November 2022

Aim

To investigate the interplay of incident chronic kidney disease (CKD) and/or heart failure (HF) and their associations with prognosis in a large, population‐based cohort with type 2 diabetes (T2DM).

Methods

Patients aged ≥18 years with new‐onset T2DM, without renal disease or HF at baseline, were identified from the territory‐wide Clinical Data Analysis Reporting System between 2000 and 2015. Patients were followed up until December 31, 2020 for incident CKD and/or HF and all‐cause mortality.

Results

Among 102 488 patients (median age 66 years, 45.7% women, median follow‐up 7.5 years), new‐onset CKD occurred in 14 798 patients (14.4%), in whom 21.7% had HF. In contrast, among 9258 patients (9.0%) with new‐onset HF, 34.6% had CKD. The median time from baseline to incident CKD or HF (4.4 vs. 4.1 years) did not differ. However, the median (interquartile range) time until incident HF after CKD diagnosis was 1.7 (0.5‐3.6) years and was 1.2 (0.2‐3.4) years for incident CKD after HF diagnosis (P < 0.001). The crude incidence of CKD was higher than that of HF: 17.6 (95% confidence interval [CI] 17.3‐17.9) vs. 10.6 (95% CI 10.4‐10.9)/1000 person‐years, respectively, but incident HF was associated with a higher adjusted‐mortality than incident CKD. The presence of either condition (vs. CKD/HF‐free status) was associated with a three‐fold hazard of death, whereas concomitant HF and CKD conferred a six to seven‐fold adjusted hazard of mortality.

Conclusion

Cardiorenal complications are common and are associated with high mortality risk among patients with new‐onset T2DM. Close surveillance of these dual complications is crucial to reduce the burden of disease.
Evaluation of China's regional innovation capability based on simulated annealing projection pursuit model and nested fuzzy evaluation model
Authors: Ge Mina , Lin Hualiang
Published: November 2022

Regional innovation capability is an important indicator of both regional innovative and long‐term development. The purpose of this study is to build an evaluation index system for regional innovation capability in order to identify regional differences and support innovation more effectively. After establishing a reasonable evaluation value for regional innovation capability, a combination of simulated annealing optimized projection pursuit (SA–PP) and N‐layer nested fuzzy comprehensive evaluation models is used to assess China's regional innovation capabilities. The results show that the SA–PP model effectively mitigates the risk of erroneous evaluation results caused by index weight uncertainty, resulting in a more reasonable, robust, and intelligent assessment of regional innovation capability. Furthermore, the nested fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model is capable of easily resolving the evaluation factor set's heterogeneity and multilayer problems. The most significant influences on China's regional innovation capability are knowledge acquisition and enterprise innovation. The comprehensive score of the proposed combinational evaluation model manifests that provinces with strong regional innovation capabilities are mainly concentrated in the southeast coastal regions. The research results allow for precise weight determination and object ranking.
Caregivers and interventionists: Developing a Dual Role Behaviors Scale for parents of children with autism spectrum disorders
Authors: Zhou Ting , Zhang Chang , Yi Chunli
Published: November 2022

The integration of the roles of caregivers and interventionists is important in parenting a child with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, an instrument to measure dual‐role behaviors is unavailable. This study developed and validated the Dual Role Behaviors Scale for parents of autistic children (DRBS‐A). Initial items were generated using the interview transcripts of a previous qualitative study. The initial scale was administered to 422 parents. Data were randomly halved to generate Samples 1 and 2. Exploratory factor analysis conducted using Sample 1 (autism spectrum disorder = 216) screened items based on factor loadings and explored the scale's structure. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) conducted with Sample 2 (N = 206) examined structural validity. Among the participants, 121 (Sample 3) derived from the two samples were followed up after 1 month to examine the test–retest reliability. Convergent validity was examined with another sample of 105 parents (Sample 4). The formal version of the DRBS‐A comprised 20 items across four dimensions: parental acceptance, parental disengagement, persistence in interventions, and punishment in interventions. The four‐factor structure with two higher order factors was supported by the CFA results (χ2 = 290.90, df = 165, CFI = 0.94, TLI = 0.93, RMSEA = 0.061, SRMR = 0.063). The subscales' test–retest reliabilities ranged from 0.61 to 0.78. The internal consistencies were satisfactory (Cronbach's αs: 0.67–0.93). Convergent validity was supported by correlations of the DRBS‐A dimensions with parental involvement and positive parenting practice. Other factors related to dual‐role behaviors were also explored. The DRBS‐A has good validity and reliability and can be used to explore the effects of role integration.
Fatigue response of additively manufactured as‐built 15‐5 PH stainless steel and effects of machining and thermal and surface treatments
Authors: Croccolo Dario , Bogojević Nebojša , De Agostinis Massimiliano , Fini Stefano , Olmi Giorgio , Robusto Francesco , Šoškić Zlatan , Ćirić‐Kostić Snežana
Published: November 2022

Additively produced 15‐5 PH stainless steel has wide industrial applications, but the combined effects of heat treatment, machining, and shot‐peening and their order have not been deeply investigated. This topic is addressed here by a 2‐by‐3 experimental plan that has involved S–N curve and fatigue limit determination, using vertically built cylindrical samples, tested under rotating bending. The obtained responses have been analyzed by an ANOVA‐based statistical approach for comparison of fatigue trends. Results indicate that heat treatment without machining may be even detrimental for fatigue due to embrittlement. Conversely, machining with subsequent shot‐peening, even without heat treatment, has a remarkable impact and leads to a doubled fatigue strength with respect to as‐built material. This strength is also quite close to that achievable for wrought material. The study has been completed by micrography and fractography, to reveal the dependence of microstructure, crack initiation sites, and failure mode on the performed treatments.
Critical thickness of polymer‐derived ceramic coatings with particulate fillers
Authors: Zhang Zhao , Bordia Rajendra K. , Peng Fei
Published: November 2022

In this study, we demonstrate a novel environmental barrier coating processed from polymer‐derived ceramics (PDCs) with homogeneously distributed sub‐micrometer Y2O3 as the filler. Under suitable conditions, dense and crack‐free coatings can be achieved for all the designed compositions with the volumetric content of Y2O3 varied from 45 to 93 vol%. To process the PDC SiC–Y2O3 composite coatings, Y2O3 particles and SiC liquid precursor were uniformly dispersed in hexane and then dip‐coated on SiC substrates. After cross‐linking at 250°C and heat‐treated at 900°C in argon, dense and crack‐free PDC SiC–Y2O3 composite coatings were formed. The effect of coating thickness and heat‐treatment temperature on the formation of cracks due to constrained pyrolysis was studied. The critical thickness for realizing crack‐free coatings of three compositions (i.e., 93, 77, and 45 vol% Y2O3) was studied for heat treatment from 1000 to 1300°C using atomic force microscope and scanning electron microscopy. As heat‐treatment temperature increases, the critical coating thickness decreases for the same coating compositions due to enhanced shrinkage at higher temperature. With higher Y2O3 content, the critical thickness of the coating increased. The inert Y2O3 particles reduce the amount of polymer leading to reduction in the overall constrained shrinkage of the coating during heat treatment.
Analysis of the heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) genetic variants in nonsegmental vitiligo patients

Published: November 2022

Background

Vitiligo is an autoimmune disease that courses with skin depigmentation because of the destruction of melanocytes. Vitiliginous melanocyte is prone to damage because of oxidative stress which activates cellular stress response and the release of heat shock proteins such as HSP70 promoting immune activation against the melanocyte. Variants in HSP70 genes (HSPA) might alter their expression and thus modulate vitiligo susceptibility. Therefore, we sought to evaluate the role of the 5′ untranslated region HSPA1A G/C (rs1043618) and the exonic HSPA1B A/G (rs1061581) and HSPA1L T/C (rs2227956) gene variants in nonsegmental vitiligo.

Methods

A total of 200 nonsegmental vitiligo patients and 208 age/gender‐matched healthy subjects were genotyped for rs1043618, rs1061581, and rs2227956 variants by PCR‐RFLP.

Results

Variants rs1043618 and rs1061581 were not associated with vitiligo susceptibility. On the other hand, the rs2227956 C allele and TC genotype were associated with protection against vitiligo. A similar effect was observed for the GAC haplotype. Any of the aforementioned HSP70 gene variants were associated with the clinical characteristics of vitiligo.

Conclusion

Our findings suggest that the HSPA1L rs2227956 gene variant might influence the susceptibility to vitiligo. Being the first study of HSP70 gene variants in vitiligo, further research is encouraged to corroborate these results.
Mental health challenges facing male survivors of child sexual abuse: Implications for mental health nurses
Authors: Viliardos Laura , Murphy Neil , McAndrew Sue
Published: November 2022

Child sexual abuse (CSA) is an issue of epidemic proportions in the United Kingdom (UK) and an international public health problem. Evidence suggests that in the UK one in 20 children have been sexually abused, with one in three not telling anyone about it at the time of the abuse. Conservative estimates suggest that around one in six men have experienced sexual abuse before the age of 18. CSA has been correlated with the development of numerous mental health problems, abused men often displaying externalizing behaviours, including substance misuse, ‘risky’ sexual behaviours, anti‐social behaviour, and offending. This article reports on one aspect of a research study focusing specifically on male survivors of CSA and its effect on their mental health. Using narrative research, face‐to‐face interviews were used to collect the stories of four men who participated in the research. Interviews were audio‐recorded and transcribed verbatim. Analysis used a two‐phase approach; initially, each narrative was analysed as a whole, with an across transcripts analysis then being carried out identifying shared themes emerging from the individual stories. Whilst findings from the second phase of the analysis identify four themes, it is the theme of ‘Blocking the Memories’ that is the focus for this article. Making a valuable contribution to existent knowledge regarding the experiences of men who were sexually abused as children, this article will help to inform mental health practitioners who are likely to deliver care to male survivors of CSA.
An integrative review exploring the impact of Electronic Health Records (EHR) on the quality of nurse–patient interactions and communication
Authors: Forde‐Johnston Carol , Butcher Dan , Aveyard Helen
Published: November 2022

Aim

To explore how nurses' use of electronic health records impacts on the quality of nurse–patient interactions and communication.

Design

An integrative review.

Data sources

MEDLINE®, CINAHL®, PscyINFO, PubMed, BNI and Cochrane Library databases were searched for papers published between January 2005 and April 2022.

Review methods

Following a comprehensive search, the studies were appraised using a tool appropriate to the study design. Data were extracted from the studies that met the inclusion criteria relating to sample characteristics, methods and the strength of evidence. Included empirical studies had to examine interactions or communication between a nurse and patient while electronic health records were being used in any healthcare setting. Findings were synthesized using a thematic approach.

Results

One thousand nine hundred and twenty articles were initially identified but only eight met the inclusion criteria of this review. Thematic analysis revealed four key themes, indicating that EHR: impedes on face‐to‐face communication, promotes task‐orientated and formulaic communication and impacts on types of communication patterns.

Conclusion

Research examining nurse–patient interactions and communication when nurses' use electronic health records is limited but evidence suggests that closed nurse–patient communications, reflecting a task‐driven approach, were predominantly used when nurses used electronic health records, although some nurses were able to overcome logistical barriers and communicate more openly. Nurses' use of electronic health records impacts on the flow, nature and quality of communication between a nurse and patient.

Impact

The move to electronic health records has taken place largely without consideration of the impact that this might have on nurse–patient interaction and communication. There is evidence of impact but also evidence of how this might be mitigated. Nurses must focus future research on examining the impact that these systems have, and to develop strategies and practice that continue to promote the importance of nurse–patient interactions and communication.

Patient or Public contribution

Studies examined within this review included patient participants that informed the analysis and interpretation of data.
Nurse‐led hospital‐to‐community care, clinical outcomes for people living with HIV and health‐related social needs
Authors: Moen Marik , Doede Megan , Johantgen Meg , Taber Deborah , Adesanya Ikmat , Werthman Emily , Friedmann Erika
Published: November 2022

Aims

To evaluate whether patients with HIV enrolled in Linkage to Care (hospital‐based only) or Linkage to Care Plus (nurse‐led hospital‐to‐community transitional care) programmes fare better on clinical outcomes; and to investigate how factors such as substance use, mental health or health‐related social needs contribute to these outcomes.

Background

Social determinants of health contribute to poor HIV outcomes such that only 57% of people living with HIV have achieved the goal of viral suppression nationally, and 50% are retained in clinical care. The programmes evaluated here aimed to increase HIV appointment attendance, retention in care, viral suppression and decrease acute care utilization and mitigate social needs via hospital‐to‐community transitional support.

Design

A retrospective observational cohort study.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective patient chart review abstracting data over three time periods between 2017 and 2020 to conduct this longitudinal programme evaluation.

Results

Both programmes had meaningful effects on increasing HIV appointment attendance and viral suppression; Linkage to Care Plus experienced the largest gains. Older age was associated with viral suppression, and housing insecurity and mental health conditions were associated with increased emergency department utilization.

Conclusion

Hospital‐only and nurse‐led hospital‐to‐community transitional care programmes can positively influence HIV care outcomes. There is a need for enhanced attention and accountability related to health‐related social needs, especially housing, and mental and behavioural health, to end the HIV epidemic.

Impact

Globally, we are striving to end the HIV epidemic with evidence‐informed interventions. The nurse‐led hospital‐to‐community and the hospital‐only interventions evaluated here improved HIV outcomes with most gains realized by the nurse‐led transitional care model. Integrating lessons from these programmes, with increased attention and accountability for addressing social needs, can improve practice and policies to achieve programmatic and national goals related to HIV and other diseases, and more critically, to meet the goals of the people we serve.

Patient or public contribution

Patients, staff and leadership at the University of Maryland Institute of Human Virology JACQUES Initiative and University of Maryland Medical Center THRIVE clinic contributed to the design and implementation of the programmes and informed the programme evaluation study.
Randomized clinical trial to assess the impact of oral intervention with cetylpyridinium chloride to reduce salivary SARS‐CoV‐2 viral load

Aim

Aerosols released from the oral cavity help spread the SARS‐CoV‐2 virus. The use of a mouthwash formulated with an antiviral agent could reduce the viral load in saliva, helping to lower the spread of the virus. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of a mouthwash with 0.07% cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) to reduce the viral load in the saliva of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) patients.

Materials and Methods

In this multi‐centre, single‐blind, randomized, parallel group clinical trial, 80 COVID‐19 patients were enrolled and randomized to two groups, namely test (n = 40) and placebo (n = 40). Saliva samples were collected at baseline and 2 h after rinsing. The samples were analysed by reverse transcription‐quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT‐qPCR) and an enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay test specific for the nucleocapsid (N) protein of SARS‐CoV‐2.

Results

With RT‐qPCR, no significant differences were observed between the placebo group and the test group. However, 2 h after a single rinse, N protein concentration in saliva was significantly higher in the test group, indicating an increase in lysed virus.

Conclusions

The use of 0.07% CPC mouthwash induced a significant increase in N protein detection in the saliva of COVID‐19 patients. Lysis of the virus in the mouth could help reduce the transmission of SARS‐CoV‐2. However, more studies are required to prove this.
