Dynamic linkages amongst ecological footprints, fossil fuel energy consumption and globalization: an empirical analysis
Authors: Ibrahiem Dalia M. , Hanafy Shaimaa A. 
Published: July 2020

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine the dynamic linkages amongst ecological footprints, fossil fuel consumption, real income, globalization and population in Egypt in the period from 1971 to 2014.Design/methodology/approachThe paper uses fully modified ordinary least squares (FMOLS) and dynamic ordinary least squares (DOLS) methods to investigate the long run relationships amongst ecological footprints, economic growth, globalization, fossil fuel energy consumption and population. Moreover, the Toda–Yamamoto approach is conducted to examine the causal relationships between variables.FindingsEmpirical results of FMOLS and DOLS methods show that real income and fossil fuel consumption are responsible for deteriorating the environment, while globalization and population are found to mitigate it. As for Toda–Yamamoto–Granger causal relationship results, unidirectional causal relation from globalization, population and fossil fuel energy consumption to the ecological footprint exists. Moreover, bidirectional causal relation between real income on the one hand and globalization and the ecological footprint on the other hand is found.Originality/valueUsing carbon dioxide emissions has major weakness as carbon dioxide emissions are considered only part of the total environmental deterioration so this study is the first study for Egypt that uses the ecological footprint as an indicator for environmental quality and environmental pollution and links it with globalization, economic growth, population and fossil fuel energy consumption. Moreover, realizing the direction of causality between these variables might help policymakers in designing the policies to promote the shift towards clean energy sources, especially that achieving sustainable economic growth with more contribution to the global economy depending on diversification of energy sources without deteriorating the environment is considered one of the most important objectives of Egypt’s National Vision 2030.
Are you a spy? On the inconveniences of conventional methodology in terror wrap ethnography
Authors: Dawar Asif Iqbal 
Published: July 2020

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to explain the significance of contextually localized strategies and to engage researchers in critical reflection about the ethical dilemmas of researching in volatile situations.Design/methodology/approachBased on 14 months of research experience, the paper reflects on the challenges and difficulties in qualitative data collection through conventional methodology in dangerous fields.FindingsThe paper argues that conventional methodology and the established codes of ethics and their guidelines certainly provide a useful starting point but each dangerous setting requires different localized approaches whereas ethics need to be considered as a process approach.Practical implicationsThis paper not only suggests the significance of “intermittent interview method” and its effectivity but also the importance of “respondent pyramiding” and “mutual confidentiality” in a dangerous field.Originality/valueThe paper reflects on the original 14 months of ethnographic accounts which will add value to the existing literature on qualitative research in dangerously hazardous fields.
Sustainability accounting, management and policy in China: recent developments and future avenues
Authors: Shen Hongtao , Ng Artie W. , Zhang John , Wang Liyan 
Published: July 2020

Purpose
This paper aims to reflect on the special issue that has collected studies by the research community in China pertinent to the country’s recent developments in sustainability accounting, management and policy, as well as to suggest possible future avenues of studies.

Design/methodology/approach
This paper articulates the current status of researching sustainability accounting, management and policy in China that is instigated by the country’s regulatory initiatives under its political economy. It highlights the papers accepted for the special issue, their areas of focus and the underlying characteristics.

Findings
It points out that the accepted research papers concentrate on issues related to corporate social responsibility disclosures, sustainability reporting and environmental management in China from the perspectives of the domestic stakeholders.

Research limitations/implications
Future studies are likely to be increasingly interdisciplinary in nature and requires academia, policymakers and practitioners to make better collaborative efforts in researching about China’s sustainability and the efficacy of their engagement with stakeholders.

Practical implications
Studies on alignment between China’s further developments and UN’s sustainable development goals (SDGs) are particularly considered desirable as the country continues its globalization initiatives. Education about sustainability accounting for the working professionals and their next generation is much needed for China in support of developing a more sustainable economy aligned with UN's SDGs.

Social implications
Scholars in China actively developing their research interests in this field reflect critical thinking about the country’s pursuit of sustainable development within a social-political economy that is dissimilar to the West. In the meantime, the country continues to develop into a significant stakeholder of the world’s sustainability implying expectation of transparency in sustainability performance.

Originality/value
With reference to the review exercise conducted for the special issue, it suggests that there are surging interests in researching accountability for sustainability across the local and international communities to facilitate much needed knowledge exchange. The country and indigenous culture of China, as well as its institutions in relation to sustainability, would require much further exploration in our world under globalization.
Cinque Terre, Italy - a case of place branding: from opportunity to problem for tourism
Authors: Vegnuti Roberto 
Published: July 2020

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is the development of the Cinque Terre, a rural and marginal area until the 1960s, to a famous tourism destination and eventually to a place brand that is attracting tourists worldwide. Since the growth of this small area which winds between the see and the mountain has happened in only 50 years, the place has not been able to prevent the tourism crowd, hence, what was a great tourism opportunity has gradually transformed into a problem. The paper explores how this has happened and the initiatives that have been put in place to manage overtourism.

Design/methodology/approach
The case history was examined using economic statistics and territorial marketing methodology, as well as the evolution of the social and economic context. The approach aims to provide a new development perspective with respect to the evolution of the past (past 50 years).

Findings
The great development of Cinque Terre as international tourism destination has created a lot of economic benefits to the local economy but, at the same time, has revealed the other side of the coin. Cinque Terre has reached such a saturation level that risks the transformation of its heritage. Once a rural and shy area between sea and mountain, it has become a mass destination with too many visitors. Actions are under consideration not only to simply cool down tourism flows but also to re-address them, to educate tourism organizations to manage tourism in alternative ways and to better appreciate the beauty of the place.

Originality/value
Over-crowding in tourism, or over-tourism, is a new phenomenon caused by the increased flow of tourists worldwide and by their augmented concentration in locations that are not ready or able to host large numbers of visitors. Cinque Terre represents a topical situation in this respect.
Clinical characteristics, genetics, comorbidities and treatment of palmoplantar pustulosis: A retrospective analysis of 66 cases in a single center in Taiwan
Authors: Huang Chang‐Ming , Tsai Tsen‐Fang 
Published: July 2020

AbstractWe retrospectively analyzed 66 patients with palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP) from January 1994 to September 2019 in our department. Interleukin‐36 receptor antagonist gene (IL36RN) intron 3 c.115+6T>C mutation was present in two out of 27 patients (7.4%). Both cases developed generalized pustular psoriasis and/or acrodermatitis continua of Hallopeau later. Topical medications and phototherapy were used in 93.9% and 28.8% of patients, respectively, while 60.6% received systemic agents. The majority of patients (60.6%) responded to treatment, but episodes of flare‐up existed. The demographic data of our patients with PPP showed female predominance (59.1%), middle‐age onset (44.2 years old) and current smokers (62.1%). Generalized pustular psoriasis initially presenting as palmoplantar lesions may be misdiagnosed as PPP, and the presence of IL36RN mutation may serve to predict or confirm the diagnosis of future generalized pustular psoriasis or acrodermatitis continua of Hallopeau. To our knowledge, this is the largest demographic study of PPP in Taiwan.

Published: July 2020

AbstractProton pump inhibitors (PPI) are commonly used drugs. However, little is known about the association between PPI use and rosacea. This study aimed to investigate the association between PPI use and rosacea risk. Patients with prior PPI therapy, including 1067 rosacea cases and 4268 matched controls, were identified from the National Health Insurance Research Database in Taiwan. The cumulative defined daily dose (cDDD) was used to quantify the PPI use. Logistic regression was used for the analyses. After adjustment for potential confounders, PPI use with cDDD of more than 365 was significantly associated with an increased risk of rosacea (odds ratio [OR], 1.54; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.10–2.15). Rosacea risk was significantly associated with PPI use of cDDD of more than 365 in women (OR, 1.62; 95% CI, 1.08–2.46) but not in men. Stratified by PPI indications, risk of rosacea was significantly associated with PPI use of cDDD of more than 365 for peptic ulcer (OR, 1.58; 95% CI, 1.12–2.21). In conclusion, prolonged PPI use was associated with an increased risk of rosacea, particularly in women and patients with peptic ulcers.

Abstract

Following coral mortality in tropical reefs, pioneer communities dominated by filamentous and crustose algae efficiently colonize substrates previously occupied by coral tissue. This phenomenon is particularly common after mass coral mortality following prolonged bleaching events associated with marine heatwaves.

Pioneer communities play an important role for the biological succession and reorganization of reefs after disturbance. However, their significance for critical ecosystem functions previously mediated by corals, such as the efficient cycling of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) within the reef, remains uncertain.

We used 96 carbonate tiles to simulate the occurrence of bare substrates after disturbance in a coral reef of the central Red Sea. We measured rates of C and dinitrogen (N2) fixation of pioneer communities on these tiles monthly over an entire year. Coupled with elemental and stable isotope analyses, these measurements provide insights into macronutrient acquisition, export and the influence of seasonality.

Pioneer communities exhibited high rates of C and N2 fixation within 4–8 weeks after the introduction of experimental bare substrates. Ranging from 13 to 25 μmol C cm−2 day−1 and 8 to 54 nmol N cm−2 day−1, respectively, C and N2 fixation rates were comparable to reported values for established Red Sea coral reefs. This similarity indicates that pioneer communities may quickly compensate for the loss of benthic productivity by corals. Notably, between 40% and 85% of fixed organic C was exported into the environment, constituting a vital source of energy for the coral reef food web.

Our findings suggest that benthic pioneer communities may play a crucial, yet overlooked role in the C and N dynamics of oligotrophic coral reefs by contributing to the input of new C and N after coral mortality. While not substituting other critical ecosystem functions provided by corals (e.g. structural habitat complexity and coastal protection), pioneer communities likely contribute to maintaining coral reef nutrient cycling through the accumulation of biomass and import of macronutrients following coral loss.

Published: July 2020

ObjectiveEvaluate clinical effectiveness of the first trimester combined (FMF) pre‐eclampsia screening programme when implemented in a public healthcare setting.DesignRetrospective cohort study.SettingLondon tertiary hospital from January 2017 to March 2019.Methods7720 women screened for pre‐eclampsia according to National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) risk‐based guidance and 4841 by the Fetal Medical Foundation (FMF) algorithm which combined maternal risk factors, blood pressure, PAPP‐A and uterine artery Doppler indices in the first trimester. High risk was defined by standard NICE criteria in the pre‐intervention cohort (prescribed 75 mg aspirin) or a risk of ≥1:50 for preterm pre‐eclampsia from the FMF algorithm in the post‐intervention cohort (prescribed 150 mg aspirin).Main outcome measuresScreening effectiveness, rates of pre‐eclampsia.ResultsThe FMF screening programme resulted in a significant reduction in the screen‐positive rate (16.1 versus 8.2%, odds ratio [OR] 0.50, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.41–0.53) with a concurrent increase in targeted aspirin use in women classified as high risk for pre‐eclampsia (28.9 versus 99.0%, OR 241.6, 95% CI 89.6–652.0). Screening indices were uniformly improved for the FMF algorithm with receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis demonstrating excellent discrimination for preterm pre‐eclampsia (area under the curve [AUC] = 0.846, 95% CI 0.778–0.915, P value <.001). Interrupted time series analysis showed that the FMF screening programme resulted in a significant 21‐month relative effect reduction of 80% (P = .025) and 89% (P = .017), for preterm and early pre‐eclampsia, respectively.ConclusionsFirst trimester combined screening for pre‐eclampsia is both feasible and effective in a public healthcare setting. Such an approach results in a two‐fold de‐escalation of risk, doubling of pre‐eclampsia detection, near total physician compliance of aspirin use and a significant reduction in the prevalence of preterm pre‐eclampsia.Tweetable abstractImplementation of 1st trimester combined pre‐eclampsia screening effectively reduces prevalence of the disorder.

AbstractThe hemolytic property discourages the development of sea cucumber saponins on alleviating lipids metabolism disturbance. The hemolytic activity of saponins has been reported to be highly correlative to their chemical structures. The aim of this study was to reduce the hemolytic activity of sea cucumber‐derived saponins echinoside A (EA) and simultaneously remain its effect on alleviating non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) by structural modifications. Administration with EA and its derivatives for 8 weeks remarkably mitigated orotic acid‐induced NAFLD via inhibiting the activities and mRNA expressions of enzymes involved in lipogenesis, enhancing the activities and expressions of enzymes related to hepatic lipolysis in a rat model. Importantly, aglycone exhibited a distinct advantage in stimulating hepatic lipolysis compared with EA and dsEA, meanwhile possessed lowest hemolytic activity. This study may provide the theoretical basis to strengthen the application of sea cucumber saponins as food supplements and/or functional ingredients.
Cruising Dystopia in Gulliver's Travels
Authors: Coykendall Abby 
Published: July 2020

AbstractThis article places the curiously unqueer, because largely uncrip, reparative ethos of José Esteban Muñoz's Cruising Utopia in dialogue with the dystopian affect and aesthetic of Gulliver's Travels. To appreciate the queer dynamics of Swift's novel, we must adopt a suitably Swiftian stance: affirming the unbecoming, and decidedly crip, sensibility of the satire. Indeed, the novel's enablingly disabling ‘disability aesthetic’ helps controvert the continuing misimpression of queerness as perennially new: as at best materialised as fetish, a literally utopian ‘nowhere’ through which one may cruise, au flâneur, but never truly alight upon, muddy oneself within or, above all, linger in.

Authors: Peart Jane Michele , Sim Robert 
Published: July 2020

SummaryAssessment of tubal patency and therapeutic tubal flushing using Lipiodol, an oil‐soluble contrast media (OSCM), has been shown to enhance fertility, resulting in increased interest in the use of Lipiodol. A modified hysterosalpingogram (HSG) technique, including a supplementary ultrasound with the contrast in situ, is recommended when using Lipiodol, taking into account both safety issues and technical challenges specific to Lipiodol.

Published: July 2020

PURPOSETo describe a new method of validating nursing outcomes and indicators that incorporates nurses’ and patients’ perspectives.METHODSThe Nurse–Patient Outcome Content Validation Method was developed in light of the experience of conducting the content validation of the nursing outcome Knowledge: Heart Failure Management (1835). It was developed based on Fehring's content validation model used for the validation of NANDA International nursing diagnoses. It expands the concept of who is an expert in the validation of nursing outcomes.FINDINGSThe Nurse–Patient Outcome Content Validation Method is a new method in which the concept of experts is expanded to gather patients’ as well as healthcare professionals’ perspectives on the importance of indicators to measure an outcome. Based on the importance ratios, the indicators are grouped into three categories: critical, supplemental, or unnecessary. To validate the outcome, importance ratios of critical and supplemental indicators are summed and divided by the total number of the indicators to calculate the outcome content validity (OCV) score of the nursing outcome.CONCLUSIONThe Nurse–Patient Outcome Content Validation Method is a new method of content validation of nursing outcome and indicators that incorporates the patient perspective.IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICEThe Nurse–Patient Outcome Content Validation Method provides a mechanism to include nurses’ and patients’ perspectives to content validity research of nursing outcomes. It supports patient empowerment since the patient is viewed as an expert regarding the experience of living and managing his/her clinical condition.
Differential cell proliferation and differentiation in developing and growing claws of turtles and alligator determine their shape
Authors: Alibardi Lorenzo 
Published: July 2020

AbstractDifferential cell proliferation and differentiation in developing and growing claws of turtles and alligator determine their shape. Acta Zoologica (Stockolm). Morphogenesis and cell proliferation in claws of turtle and alligator have been analysed by immunolabelling and thymidine autoradiography. Proliferating cells are randomly distributed in the epidermis and mesenchyme at the tip of forming digits. Developing claws elongate with a dorsal curvature forming the unguis. Numerous proliferating keratinocytes are present in the unguis at 4 hr–1 day after injection of 5BrdU or by PCNA detection. Their size increases before being incorporated into the ungueal corneous layer. Immunolabelling at 3–6 days post‐injection of 5BrdU indicates that proliferating keratinocytes move towards the tip of the claw giving rise to the claw pad. The ventral side of the claw termed sub‐unguis shows a lower proliferation that expands the surface and produces thin corneocytes that are desquamated. Autoradiography and immunolabelling indicates that proliferating cells of growing turtle claws are present along most of the germinal epidermis 7 hr–1 day after injection of tritiated thymidine or 5BrdU. Low labelled corneocytes incorporated into the corneous layer are detected at 6–12 days post‐injection, generally localized towards the tip of the claw, indicating they have migrated distally. The study confirms that claws of reptiles have an extended proliferative zone instead of a localized proximal germinal matrix as in mammalian claws.
Effects of psychotherapy on comorbid bipolar disorder and substance use disorder: A systematic review
Authors: Crowe Marie , Eggleston Kate , Douglas Katie , Porter Richard J. 
Published: July 2020

AbstractObjectivesThis review aim was to examine whether psychotherapy is more or less effective in patients with SUD, compared to those without; whether there is a differential effect of a particular psychotherapy in patients with SUD.MethodsA quantitative systematic review following the Cochrane Handbook of Systematic Reviews was used.ResultsFive studies of psychotherapy for BD and two studies of an integrated psychotherapy for comorbid BD and SUD were included in the review. Five studies provided a sub‐analysis of the effect of SUD on overall outcomes with only one finding an overall detrimental effect. The results indicated equal, if not better outcomes for individuals with comorbid BD and SUD.ConclusionThere was little evidence that interventions targeted at both BD and SUD may be more efficacious. Further research in to psychotherapeutic treatment for BD should include individuals with comorbid SUD, and analyse substance use as an outcome. Additionally, research into treatments specifically developed for these commonly comorbid disorders is indicated.
