Shift schedule realignment and patient safety culture
Authors: Wijaya Made Indra , Mohamad Abd Rahim , Hafizurrachman Muhammad 
Published: January 2020

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to assess the association between shift schedule realignment and patient safety culture.

Design/methodology/approach
Using difference in differences model, BIMC Hospitals and Siloam Hospital Bali were compared before and after shift schedule realignment to test the association between shift schedule realignment and patient safety culture.

Findings
Shift schedule realignment was associated with a significant improvement in staffing (coefficient 1.272; 95% CI 0.842 – 1.702; p<0.001), teamwork within units (coefficient 1.689; 95% CI 1.206 – 2.171; p<0.001), teamwork across units (coefficient 1.862; 95% CI 1.415 – 2.308; p<0.001), handoffs and transitions (coefficient 0.999; 95% CI 0.616 – 1.382; p<0.001), frequency of error reported (coefficient 1.037; 95% CI 0.581 – 1.493; p<0.001), feedback and communication about error (coefficient 1.412; 95% CI 0.982 – 1.841; p<0.001) and communication openness (coefficient 1.393; 95% CI 0.968 – 1.818; p<0.001).

Practical implications
With positive impact on patient safety culture, shift schedule realignment should be considered as quality improvement initiative. It stretches the compressed workload suffered by staff while maintaining 40 h per week in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

Originality/value
Shift schedule realignment, designed to improve patient safety culture, has never been implemented in any Indonesian private hospital. Other hospital managers might also appreciate knowing about the shift schedule realignment to improve the patient safety culture.
A modified approach based on bearing area curve for surface wear characterization
Authors: Wang Yun , Mao Junhong , Lu Suwen , Xu Zhenying , Liu Hong , Li Ruitao 
Published: January 2020

Purpose
Wear greatly influences the machine lifetime, performance and reliability and its quantification is very important. This paper aims to propose a modified bearing area curve method by combining the theory of the bearing area curve, and the relocation technique to calculate wear accurately and efficiently.

Design/methodology/approach
H13 steel was chosen as the material of wear pair, and the wear experiments were carried out at 50 N, 60 r/min for 20 min. The surface was measured before and after wear experiments. The relocation was made by comparing the mean lines (planes) of the unworn and worn surface profiles. The calculated results using the proposed method were compared with that of the surface profile method for a two-dimensional surface to validate its accuracy. The method was then applied for a three-dimensional (3D) wear analysis.

Findings
The worn surface shows clearly displacement compared to the unworn surface and implies the importance of including relocation in the bearing area curve method. The results from the proposed method are 98 per cent close to that from the surface profile method, indicating that the method is accurate for wear evaluation.

Originality/value
As no feature point or relocation mark is needed to calculate the relocation value using the proposed method, the method can be applied to mild to severe wear. Also, as the deviation of different scans does not affect the relocation calculation, and no matching and stitching is required, this method can be easily applied to a wide wear area and 3D surface wear analysis.
Academic production and technological emergence in finance
Authors: Caciatori Junior Itamir , Cherobim Ana Paula Mussi Szabo 
Published: January 2020

Purpose
This paper aims to study the FinTech enterprises and the management theories related to this subject in a scientific way.

Design/methodology/approach
This study is a bibliometric study on FinTech enterprises. Its origin is a survey of 1,749 papers in 6 traditional peer-reviewed academic databases (e.g. Science Direct and Scopus) and in the “gray” literature, published by other agents and not subject to double-blind peer review. In this analysis we use three approaches: academic paper or not; journal main interest, and main purpose of the paper.

Findings
The first approach shows 45% of papers without blind review. The second approach shows no concentration on any journal. It represents no concentration on any kind of specific journal. And the third approach shows four kinds of contents in all researched papers: FinTech categorizations; FinTech related to theory of disruptive innovation; FinTech and theories of administration or economy; and finally, FinTech and regulatory and legislative aspects.

Originality/value
The findings identified the emergence of new research strands, precedence of studies of “gray” literature to explain the phenomenon, distribution of studies in different fields of knowledge (e.g. information technology, business and law) and lack of consensus in theories to explain the matter.
Corporations in the political arena: an ethical framework
Authors: Barron Andrew , Stacey Stephen 
Published: January 2020

PurposeThis study aims to explore how firms can configure their organisational architectures in ways that limit ethical transgressions of their corporate political activities (CPAs).Design/methodology/approachThis conceptual work is informed by existing research into organisational architecture and ethical decision-making, combined with illustrative examples of firms’ political actions derived from secondary and primary data sources.FindingsFindings suggest that the ways that firms assign decision-making authority and design performance management systems can, depending on their combined configuration, either help or hinder the promotion of ethical CPA practice.Practical implicationsThe study provides practitioners with a useful tool for reflecting on the organisational levers they can pull to shield their firms from the financial and reputation damage associated with objectionable conduct in their political activities.Originality/valueWhilst previous research studies emphasise the importance of statutory guidelines, self-regulation or corporate codes for promoting ethical CPA, this study argues that organisational design is an important yet overlooked antecedent of a firm’s ability to practice CPA ethically and responsibly.
Channels of corruption in Africa: analytical review of trends in financial crimes
Authors: Hope, Sr Kempe Ronald 
Published: January 2020

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to identify and analytically review the trends of financial crimes as channels of corruption that impact the development process and economic progress in Africa.

Design/methodology/approach
This paper outlines the trends in financial crimes by compiling statistics derived from a scan of the publicly available survey and other published data related.

Findings
The financial crimes of embezzlement and theft, bribes and kickbacks, money laundering and illicit financial flows and state capture are all channels of corruption that are prevalent in Africa with significant negative effects on the continent’s socio-economic development progress. The magnitude of these crimes has been trending upward with the resultant effect that corruption continues to have significant negative impacts on Africa’s current and future development prospects. To develop policies to minimise these negative effects, it is necessary to quantify and continuously monitor the magnitude of these various corruption channels.

Originality/value
The main value of the study is the insights it provides on the nature and extent of the trends in financial crimes as channels of corruption in Africa, and the resultant negative impact on socio-economic development in the region.
Bitcoin, corruption and economic freedom
Authors: Johnson Jackie 
Published: January 2020

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to test whether the price traders are prepared to pay for Bitcoin, over the market price, is related to a country’s level of corruption and lack of economic freedom, during Bitcoin’s most turbulent period, 2017-2018.

Design/methodology/approach
Bitcoin premiums (the excess over the market price) are calculated for 17 countries from April 2017 to September 2018, using daily weighted Bitcoin prices compared to the market price and testing against the Corruption Perception Index, the Index of Economic Freedom and changes in the Economic Uncertainty Index.

Findings
On testing Bitcoin premiums across 17 countries, it is found that the price paid for Bitcoin above the market price goes hand-in-hand with the level of corruption and decline in economic freedom. As corruption increases so does the premium paid for Bitcoin, and as the level of economic freedom declines, the premium increases. This relationship holds during very different market conditions: the increasing Bitcoin price from April to September 2017; the rise and fall in Bitcoin prices from October 2017 to March 2018; the declining market price from April to September 2018; and in December 2017 when Bitcoin reached over US$19,000.

Originality/value
Rather than focussing on daily returns which measure changes from day to day, this research uses all transactions during the day focussing on an intra-day consensus price measured in local currency. With such large price increases, percentage measures can hide the size of the monetary response. By focussing on the monetary impact, the differences between countries become more apparent.
Jungian theory of dreaming and contemporary dream research – findings from the research project ‘Structural Dream Analysis’
Authors: Roesler Christian 
Published: January 2020

AbstractThe research method ‘Structural Dream Analysis’ (SDA) is described which allows for systematic and objective analysis of the meaning of dreams produced by patients in Jungian psychotherapies. The method focuses especially on the relationship between the dream ego and other figures in the dream and the extent of activity of the dream ego. Five major dream patterns were identified which accounted for the majority of the dreams. The clients’ dream series were dominated by one or two repetitive patterns which were closely connected to the psychological problems of the dreamers. Additionally, typical changes in the dream series’ patterns could be identified which corresponded with therapeutic change. These findings support Jung's theory of dreams as providing a holistic image of the dreamer’s psyche, including unconscious aspects. The implications for different psychoanalytic theories of dreaming and dream interpretation are discussed as well as implications for the continuity hypothesis.
Self, other and individuation: resolving narcissism through the lunar and solar paths of the Rosarium
Authors: West Marcus 
Published: January 2020

AbstractThis paper describes narcissism as our natural, infant‐like behaviour, and specifies three characteristics relating to the evacuation and avoidance of distress, to control, and to distancing from relationship. It suggests that the processes of incarnation and individuation represent the development of the early ego and the ‘resolution’ of these narcissistic ways of being, including escape from the ‘mirror trap’. The development of the early, controlling ‘homunculus‐ego’ entails the loosening and broadening of ego‐identifications and the ego becoming subject to the Self. This is an embodied‐relational‐social‐spiritual process outlined in detail by the full 20 woodcuts of the Rosarium Philosophorum, and specifically the lunar (relational) and solar (self‐expressive) paths, which are explored herein. These processes are illustrated with respect to the interaction between infant and caregiver, clinical vignettes and examples from the political sphere.
A high‐fat diet reverses metabolic disorders and premature aging by modulating insulin and IGF1 signaling in SIRT6 knockout mice

Published: January 2020

AbstractMammalian sirtuin 6 (SIRT6) is involved in the regulation of many essential processes, especially metabolic homeostasis. SIRT6 knockout mice undergo premature aging and die at age ~4 weeks. Severe glycometabolic disorders have been found in SIRT6 knockout mice, and whether a dietary intervention can rescue SIRT6 knockout mice remains unknown. In our study, we found that at the same calorie intake, a high‐fat diet dramatically increased the lifespan of SIRT6 knockout mice to 26 weeks (males) and 37 weeks (females), reversed multi‐organ atrophy, and reduced body weight, hypoglycemia, and premature aging. Furthermore, the high‐fat diet partially but significantly normalized the global gene expression profile in SIRT6 knockout mice. Regarding the mechanism, excessive glucose uptake and glycolysis induced by the SIRT6 deficiency were attenuated in skeletal muscle through inhibition of insulin and IGF1 signaling by the high‐fat diet. Similarly, fatty acids but not ketone bodies inhibited glucose uptake, glycolysis, and senescence in SIRT6 knockout fibroblasts, whereas PI3K inhibition antagonized the effects of a high‐fatty‐acid medium in vitro. Overall, the high‐fat diet dramatically reverses numerous consequences of SIRT6 deficiency through modulation of insulin and IGF1 signaling, providing a new basis for elucidation of SIRT6 and fatty‐acid functions and supporting novel therapeutic approaches against metabolic disorders and aging‐related diseases.

AbstractWhen humans age, changes in body composition arise along with lifestyle‐associated disorders influencing fitness and physical decline. Here we provide a comprehensive view of dietary intake, physical activity, gut microbiota (GM), and host metabolome in relation to physical fitness of 207 community‐dwelling subjects aged +65 years. Stratification on anthropometric/body composition/physical performance measurements (ABPm) variables identified two phenotypes (high/low‐fitness) clearly linked to dietary intake, physical activity, GM, and host metabolome patterns. Strikingly, despite a higher energy intake high‐fitness subjects were characterized by leaner bodies and lower fasting proinsulin‐C‐peptide/blood glucose levels in a mechanism likely driven by higher dietary fiber intake, physical activity and increased abundance of Bifidobacteriales and Clostridiales species in GM and associated metabolites (i.e., enterolactone). These factors explained 50.1% of the individual variation in physical fitness. We propose that targeting dietary strategies for modulation of GM and host metabolome interactions may allow establishing therapeutic approaches to delay and possibly revert comorbidities of aging.
Melatonin suppresses senescence‐derived mitochondrial dysfunction in mesenchymal stem cells via the HSPA1L–mitophagy pathway

Published: January 2020

AbstractMesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a popular cell source for stem cell‐based therapy. However, continuous ex vivo expansion to acquire large amounts of MSCs for clinical study induces replicative senescence, causing decreased therapeutic efficacy in MSCs. To address this issue, we investigated the effect of melatonin on replicative senescence in MSCs. In senescent MSCs (late passage), replicative senescence decreased mitophagy by inhibiting mitofission, resulting in the augmentation of mitochondrial dysfunction. Treatment with melatonin rescued replicative senescence by enhancing mitophagy and mitochondrial function through upregulation of heat shock 70 kDa protein 1L (HSPA1L). More specifically, we found that melatonin‐induced HSPA1L binds to cellular prion protein (PrPC), resulting in the recruitment of PrPC into the mitochondria. The HSPA1L‐PrPC complex then binds to COX4IA, which is a mitochondrial complex IV protein, leading to an increase in mitochondrial membrane potential and anti‐oxidant enzyme activity. These protective effects were blocked by knockdown of HSPA1L. In a murine hindlimb ischemia model, melatonin‐treated senescent MSCs enhanced functional recovery by increasing blood flow perfusion, limb salvage, and neovascularization. This study, for the first time, suggests that melatonin protects MSCs against replicative senescence during ex vivo expansion for clinical application via mitochondrial quality control.

Published: January 2020

AbstractBackground and AimsPrior cross‐sectional research finds that electronic cigarette (e‐cigarette) use clusters with higher rates of harmful alcohol consumption in the United States adult population. The current study examined prospectively the association between e‐cigarette use, cigarette use and the combined use of e‐cigarettes and tobacco cigarettes and alcohol use outcomes.DesignA nationally representative multi‐wave cohort survey (wave 1: September 2013–December 2014, wave 2: October 2014–October 2015).SettingUnited States.ParticipantsA representative sample of civilian, non‐institutionalized adults who completed waves 1 and 2 of the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health survey (n = 26 427).MeasurementsParticipants were categorized into exposure groups according to their e‐cigarette and cigarette use during wave 1. Past 30‐day alcohol use outcomes were (1) National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA)‐defined hazardous alcohol use, (2) total alcohol drinks consumed and (3) alcohol‐related consequences.FindingsAfter controlling for socio‐demographic risk factors and alcohol use at wave 1, all exposure groups showed higher odds of hazardous alcohol use [adjusted odds ratios (aORs) = 2.05–2.12, all P < 0.001] and reported higher past‐month total drinks (B = 0.46–0.70, all P < 0.001) and more alcohol consequences (B = 0.63–0.89, all P ≤ 0.10) at wave 2 compared with non‐users. Cigarette users (B = 0.24, P = 0.038) and dual e‐cigarette/cigarette users (B = 0.32, P = 0.038) reported higher past‐month total drinks compared with e‐cigarette users. There was no conclusive evidence that non‐daily use of e‐cigarettes or cigarettes predicted poorer alcohol use outcomes compared with daily use.ConclusionsIn the United States between 2013 and 2015, after adjustment for socio‐demographic characteristics, cigarette and e‐cigarette use were associated with alcohol use 1 year later.
Life history traits of a key agricultural pest, Helicoverpa armigera (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae): are laboratory settings appropriate?
Authors: Katsikis Christina I , Wang Peng , Zalucki Myron P 
Published: January 2020

AbstractHelicoverpa armigera is intensively researched in laboratory settings, yet developmental rates can vary considerably even under controlled conditions. Here, dietary choice and light spectra were tested as possible factors influencing this variability, a range of fitness indicators were collected and dietary choice behaviour in early instars was observed. We show that early instars of H. armigera exhibited self‐selection of nutrient intake, a novel finding. Larvae given a choice between two artificial diets varying in macronutrient ratios were heavier, exhibited a higher relative growth rate, shorter developmental time and longer eclosion time compared with larvae reared on a single diet. Wing size relative to body mass was higher for larvae on extreme no choice treatments and smallest for those on the choice diets, indicating a potential adaptation to escape poor nutrient landscapes. Light spectra had an effect on the size of pupae, with H. armigera reared under white LED light having larger pupae than those reared under fluorescent white light. Larvae reared under LED light took longer to emerge from pupation. Giving larvae a choice of diets with a range of nutrients may reduce developmental variability rather than assuming that one diets suits all.
When Do Displaced Persons Return? Postwar Migration among Christians in Mount Lebanon
Authors: Camarena Kara Ross , Hägerdal Nils 
Published: January 2020

AbstractUnder what conditions will forcibly displaced persons return to their original homes after wars end? We draw on theories of labor migration to show that even displaced persons who have positive feelings toward their original location may nevertheless choose to return as regular visitors rather than permanent residents unless the location offers attractive economic opportunities. Furthermore, we argue that violence can create negative emotions not only toward geographic locations of bloodshed but also against its perpetrators. After ethnic wars, the displaced may be unwilling to return to intermixed locations, exacerbating ethnic separation. We study postwar migration among Lebanese Christians displaced during the 1980s and identify economic conditions using exogenous price shocks for olive oil, a major local export. Among policy implications for economic reconstruction and transitional justice, our most important insight is that sometimes we should help the displaced in their new location rather than induce permanent return to their old homes.
Regulation and function of extra‐SCN circadian oscillators in the brain
Authors: Begemann Kimberly , Neumann Anne‐Marie , Oster Henrik 
Published: January 2020

AbstractMost organisms evolved endogenous, so called circadian clocks as internal timekeeping mechanisms allowing them to adapt to recurring changes in environmental demands brought about by 24‐hour rhythms such as the light‐dark cycle, temperature variations or changes in humidity. The mammalian circadian clock system is based on cellular oscillators found in all tissues of the body that are organized in a hierarchical fashion. A master pacemaker located in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) synchronizes peripheral tissue clocks and extra‐SCN oscillators in the brain with each other and with external time. Different time cues (so called Zeitgebers) such as light, food intake, activity and hormonal signals reset the clock system through the SCN or by direct action at the tissue clock level. While most studies on non‐SCN clocks so far have focused on peripheral tissues, several extra‐SCN central oscillators were characterized in terms of circadian rhythm regulation and output. Some of them are directly innervated by the SCN pacemaker, while others receive indirect input from the SCN via other neural circuits or extra‐brain structures. The specific physiological function of these non‐SCN brain oscillators as well as their role in the regulation of the circadian clock network remains understudied. In this review we summarize our current knowledge about the regulation and function of extra‐SCN circadian oscillators in different brain regions and devise experimental approaches enabling us to unravel the organization of the circadian clock network in the central nervous system.
