Authors: Dahal Prajwal , Parajuli Sabina , Maharjan Santosh , Adhikari Govinda , Upadhyaya Rudra Prasad , Ghimire Samjhana , Dhakal Natasha 
Published: February 2025

Background:
Certain anatomical variants of the paranasal sinuses (PNS) predispose to injury of surrounding critical structures during functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) and occurrence of common pathologies like sinusitis. However, they are often not reported in pre-operative computed Tomography (CT).

Methods:
The CT scan of paranasal sinuses and head of 360 adults (age > 13 years) were retrospectively evaluated for variants of cribriform plate, olfactory fossa, lamina papyracea, uncinate process, sphenoid pneumatization and anterior ethmoid artery by 4 radiologists with experience of 3 to 6 years. Prevalence of each variant was obtained. Chi-squared and independent sample t-tests were used to analyze relationships between variables, with significance set at p < 0.05.

Results:
The prevalence of Keros type 1, type 2 and type 3 olfactory fossa was 24.4 %, 66.9 % and 8.6 % respectively in right side and 20.6 %, 69.2 % and 10.3% respectively in left side. Mean depth of right and left olfactory fossa was 4.9 mm (±1.9) and 5.2 mm (± 1.8) respectively. Dehiscence/ remote fracture of anterior skull base was seen in 1.9% cases. Dehiscence/ remote fracture of lamina papyracea was present in 2.8 % cases. Haller cells were seen in 13.9%. Conchal, presellar, incomplete sellar and complete sellar pattern of pneumatization of sphenoid sinus had prevalences of 2.5%, 6.4%, 26.7% and 64.4% respectively. The prevalence of dehiscence of carotid canal in sphenoid sinus was 7.2 %. The prevalence of bony septa inserting onto carotid canal was 37.8 %. The prevalence of supra-orbital pneumatization was 51.4 %. Prevalence of agger nasi cell and pneumatization of crista galli was 82.2% and 16.7% respectively.

Conclusion:
Preoperative CT provides opportunity to look for critical structures in relation to the PNS. Radiologists should report these findings to prevent potential complications during FESS.

Published: February 2025

Introduction:
Maternal postpartum depression (PPD) is the most common diagnosis during the postpartum period, with a higher incidence in underserved populations. Though PPD often goes undiagnosed, prompt diagnosis has a positive impact on several measures of children’s health and development, as well as maternal health. To increase routine screening per American Academy of Pediatrics recommendations, we implemented a multipronged quality improvement (QI) initiative centered around a newborn coordinator embedded in our primary care clinic.

Methods:
A multidisciplinary team implemented a QI initiative in a community-based academic primary care clinic. We used the plan-do-study-act method and other QI tools to improve our processes and p-type control charts to monitor improvements. The interventions centered on workflow changes and staff education with aims to increase our PPD screening rates to 75%, maintain appropriate referral rates for parents with positive PPD screeners above 90%, and ensure no disparity in rates of screening regardless of race/ethnicity, language, and insurance status.

Results:
PPD screening rates for all well child care visits from birth to age 6 months increased from a mean of 16 % at baseline to 72%. Additionally, we maintained a referral rate for positive PPD screens above 90%. Our health equity analysis did not demonstrate any disparity in our screening rates.

Conclusions:
Applying a combination of education and process workflow changes can successfully increase screening rates for PPD in a community-based academic primary care clinic.

ABSTRACTThe molecular mechanisms underlying the synthesis and secretion of large cell wall polysaccharides in plant cells are not fully understood. In this study, we report that two atypical endo-β-1,4-mannanases (MANs), which are not secreted and do not degrade glucomannan in the cell wall, play a novel role in glucomannan synthesis. Among the six MANs in Arabidopsis, AtMAN2 and AtMAN5 contain a transmembrane (TM) domain at their N-terminal region instead of a signal peptide. Subcellular localization using MAN protein fused with fluorescent protein demonstrated that AtMAN2 localizes to the Golgi apparatus in vascular and interfascicular fiber cells. We found that an Arabidopsisman2 man5double mutant lost 65% of glucomannan in the cell walls of the inflorescence stem. Immunostaining revealed that the double mutant retained a small amount of glucomannan in the vacuole instead of secreting it to the cell walls. Arabidopsis possesses another atypical MAN, AtMAN6, with an HDEL retention signal at its C-terminus. However, mutation of AtMAN6 did not affect glucomannan content in the cell walls, suggesting distinct functions for these MANs. This study revealed that the function of AtMAN2 and AtMAN5 is necessary for normal glucomannan synthesis. We suggest that thesemanmutants point to an uncharacterized transport pathway in plant cells, through which glucomannan is trafficked to the vacuole instead of the cell walls.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTCell wall polysaccharides are synthesized from building block nucleotide sugars by the action of glucosyltransferases, but other factors facilitating the synthesis and secretion of large polysaccharides without aggregation remain to be identified. Here, we focused on the importance and functions of two atypical Arabidopsis endo-β-1,4-mannanases that have a transmembrane domain instead of a secretion signal, and which are widely distributed in angiosperms but have not been well characterized. Arabidopsis mutants impaired in these endo-β-1,4-mannanases lost 65% cell wall glucomannan, indicating that the hydrolysis by these enzymes is necessary for normal synthesis. Enhanced retention of glucomannan inside cells in the mutant hints at a transport route to deliver glucomannan to the vacuole.

Published: February 2025

Objective To investigate the effects of sodium fructose diphosphate (FDP) on blood coagulation reaction time and plasma coagulation factor activity in vitro. Method The thromboelastogram detection system provided by three different manufacturers (Maiketian, Lepu, and Dingrun) was used to determine the blood coagulation reaction time (R), clotting time (K), α-angle, and maximal amplitude (MA) of blood samples mixed with different concentrations FDP and the samples before dosing.The activities of coagulation factors for plasma mixed with FDP were determined by automatic hemagglutination analysis system. New Zealand white rabbits were selected for the experiment on the effect of the drug on blood coagulation in vivo. Result The results of thrombologram provided by three different manufacturers showed that the R value of blood sample was significantly correlated with the blood FDP concentration (P<0.000). The results of in vitro experiments showed that plasma coagulation factor V, VII, IX, XI and XII activities were significantly negatively correlated with plasma FDP concentrations (P<0.000). In vivo experiments of New Zealand white rabbits, blood clotting reaction time was also prolonged to varying degrees. Conclusion FDP can affect the results of blood coagulation test in vivo and vitro. It may really affect the function of our coagulation system.
ASEAN, gender equality and women’s empowerment in STEM
Authors: Lemus-Delgado Daniel , Cerda Carlos 
Published: February 2025

PurposeA paradigm shift is essential to achieving gender equality, including participation in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). This article aims to analyze how the involvement of international organizations in this task is essential to succeeding beyond the actions of local and national governments.Design/methodology/approachBased on the case study of ASEAN, we examine official documents of the ASEAN Secretariat to analyze the relationship between Innovation, Science and Technology for ASEAN countries and action plans to advance women’s participation in STEM.FindingsThe article evidences the scope, limits, contributions and challenges of ASEAN as a promotor of gender equality in STEM.Research limitations/implicationsThis case study explores how the official position of the ASEAN Secretariat can contribute to advancing gender equity in STEM. Subsequent studies based on other qualitative methodologies, considering decision-makers from the ASEAN countries, will enrich the findings.Originality/valueThe traditional focus of analyzing how women can participate more in STEM has been regional or national approaches. Academic literature often considers the role of provincial or national governments as the most decisive influence on correcting inequalities of opportunities between men and women. However, this research takes a different approach, discussing the few explored roles of international organizations, both global and regional, in this critical task. The potential contribution of international organizations on this issue, despite their non-binding recommendations and resolutions, can contribute to impulse a change in the gender gap in STEM as the ASEAN case evidences.
Staff bonding and accounting fraud tendency: does cost of living matter?
Authors: Seudib Ezekiel Nibenong , Oppong Clement 
Published: February 2025

PurposeThe paper explores the ramifications of rising costs of living on accounting fraud (ACF) as well as how it disrupts the effect of staff bonding (SB) on ACF tendencies.Design/methodology/approachData were collected from 310 respondents using a structured questionnaire and analysed using the partial least squares structural equation model.FindingsThe study reveals that rising costs of living increase ACF tendencies, while SB reduces it. However, the study also shows that costs of living decrease the effectiveness of SB as a corporate governance measure, aligning with the Stimulus, Capability, Opportunity, Rationalisation, and Ego (S.C.O.R.E.) theory.Originality/valueThe paper’s theoretical contribution is consistent with the S.C.O.R.E. theory. The study concluded that working with hungry employees, whose disposable incomes are further worsened by rising costs of living, is not only an anticipatory accident but also a timed bomb waiting to explode. Hence, as the leading study on the intricate relationships, one takeaway from the study is that strengthening SB conditions and maintaining salary parity with rising costs of living are two excellent strategies for mitigating ACF.

Published: February 2025

PurposeApartments have become a representative urban housing type for mass housing construction; therefore, interest in low-rise residential areas has decreased. Low-rise residential areas have proved to be a poor residential environment for all aspects of life because of the density of the old buildings. Using the Moa Towns project as a case study, this research explores the steps for revitalizing low-rise residential environments, emphasizing communities.Design/methodology/approachThe study first investigated the historical changes in urban housing types in Korea. Through a review of the related literature, a systematic analysis framework was developed. The residential environments of the case study and the questionnaire survey were analyzed through the framework, with a focus on the quality of housing.FindingsTo improve the quality of housing for residents, a housing plan is needed to ensure safety and comfort. To establish an accessible residential environment infrastructure, improve the quality of housing, and encourage social relationships between neighbors, community facilities within a 15-min walk should be installed. To increase interaction between neighbors, a circular pedestrian system can be created by establishing a community street.Originality/valueThis study is significant in that it focuses on people in revitalizing the community; identifies factors for physical improvement, exchange activities, and facility support; and presents a conceptual framework for building a residential environment in low-rise residential areas. The results are critical to the quality of housing and community facilities for low-rise residential development.
Tax losses and bankruptcy emergence: evidence from US firms filing under Chapter 11
Authors: Gabrielli Alessandro , Greco Giulio 
Published: February 2025

Purpose
This study aims to investigate the relationship between tax losses and the likelihood of emerging from bankruptcy procedures as reorganized entities, exploiting the exogenous shock provided by the 1997 Taxpayer Relief Act (TRA) in the USA.

Design/methodology/approach
The empirical analysis uses a difference-in-differences approach and investigates a sample of US public firms filing under Chapter 11 bankruptcy procedures during the period 1984–2016. The analysis includes several robustness and endogeneity tests, including heterogeneous treatment effect analysis, entropy balancing and propensity score matching.

Findings
The findings show that filing firms with higher tax losses are more likely to emerge from the procedure as reorganized firms. Further, this paper shows that firms with high tax losses reduced their likelihood of reorganization after the enactment of the 1997 TRA, as the new regulation reduced tax benefits related to losses. Additional analyses show that tax losses contribute to the reorganization of filing firms requiring more cash resources and restructuring efforts and they increase post-bankruptcy creditors’ recovery rates.

Practical implications
This study informs policymakers, shareholders, creditors and other stakeholders that tax policy can facilitate business continuity within restructuring frameworks and preserve economic and social value.

Originality/value
This study contributes to the literature on taxation and corporate restructuring with evidence that tax-loss policies incentivize reorganization during bankruptcy procedures. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study to empirically demonstrate that tax losses influence the form of exit from bankruptcy procedures, adding to the set of firms’ features affecting bankruptcy emergence.
Navigating the green transition: assessing the impact of Chinese green public procurement on corporate pollution emissions
Authors: Tan Weijie , Chen Xihui , Teng Mingming , An Weidong , Wu Changhua 
Published: February 2025

Purpose
Green Public Procurement (GPP) is a crucial way to promote producing green products, but its relationship with corporate pollution emissions needs to be verified. This study aims to evaluate the environmental effects of the policy by analyzing how GPP influences corporate environmental pollution.

Design/methodology/approach
This study is based on extensive sample data of Chinese industrial enterprises from 2001 to 2010, using China’s first GPP list as an exogenous policy. The authors have established a differential model to explore the impact of GPP on corporate environmental pollution and its underlying mechanisms.

Findings
GPP significantly reduces the sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions of enterprises. Verify the robustness of this conclusion by replacing variables, excluding other policy interventions that reduce selfselection bias, and conducting placebo testing. GPP encourages regulated enterprises to improve their production processes, drive clean production with green technology innovation, optimize energy structure, improve energy efficiency and reduce their emissions. The environmental cleaning effect of GPP is more significant in eastern and central China large and medium-sized urban areas. GPP has more effectively reduced SO2 emissions from private capital-intensive and heavily polluting enterprises.

Originality/value
This paper constructs a difference-in-differences model to study China’s first GPP list in 2006. It explores how GPP policies affect corporate pollution reduction. The findings enrich GPP research in China and emerging economies. Moreover, unlike existing studies on corporate pollution subject to environmental regulation, this paper focuses on how corporate pollution reduction is affected by demand-driven GPP policies, expanding the theoretical research.

Be cautious of your voice when boss is in shame: how manager shame shapes defensive reactions toward employee voice
Authors: Wang Xiaotian , Cai Yujie , Lin Xiaowan , Duan Jinyun 
Published: February 2025

PurposeIntegrating the psychological threat perspective of voice with cognitive dissonance theory, the current research seeks to uncover how managers’ experience of shame shapes the extent to which they are threatened by and subsequently react defensively to voice(r).Design/methodology/approachA two (employee voice: voice condition vs no-voice condition) by two (manager shame: shame vs control) between-subjects experiment with 263 participants (i.e. front-line managers from mainland China) was conducted to test the hypotheses.FindingsEmployee voice (vs no voice) induced a higher ego threat among managers experiencing a higher than lower level of shame. The heightened ego threat, in turn, negatively affected the perceived warmth of the employee via perceived behavioral appropriateness. In a similar vein, it affected the perceived competence of the employee via perceived behavioral constructiveness.Practical implicationsOrganizations and managers should be aware of the potential unfavorable effects of managers’ emotional state of shame on voice(r) evaluations and take action to improve managers’ emotional regulation skills. Employees should work on their emotional intelligence, which helps them better “read the wind” before speaking up.Originality/valueThe present work advances the understanding of managerial defensive reactions to employee voice by demonstrating that shamed managers are more likely to cognitively denigrate the voice and the voicer as an approach to defend their threatened ego.
