Performance of Shari’ah-compliant and non-Shari’ah-compliant listed firms: a case study of Malaysia
Authors: Saba Irum , Ariff Mohamed , Mohd Rasid Eskandar Shah 
Published: August 2020

Purpose
Shari’ah provides the basic tenets of the Islamic finance industry and advocates banks to share their profits and losses with investors. But what it means for a firm to be “Shari’ah-compliant” and what form of connections it can have, even in theory, to either the firm’s value or profitability is still an untapped question. This study tries to answer this question. This study aims to find the impact of Shari’ah compliance on firm performance. The results obtained would be useful in helping investors, regulators, companies, government, academicians and practitioners in their decision-making process as to ensure better economic and business gains, both locally and globally.

Design/methodology/approach
Panel data on 634 Shari’ah-compliant firms have been used in this study for the period of 2000–2014.

Findings
The results indicate that Shari’ah compliance adds to the value of firms as firms perform transactions according to Shari’ah while avoiding non-permissible activities.

Originality/value
This study adds value to the existing literature by showing the statistical results for the impact of Shari’ah compliance on the performance of the listed firms on Bursa Malaysia.
Does foreign direct investment influence manufacturing sector growth in Middle East and North African region?
Authors: Azolibe Chukwuebuka Bernard 
Published: August 2020

PurposeThis study empirically assessed the influence of foreign direct investment on the manufacturing sector growth in the Middle East and North African region using panel data of 18 countries covering the period of 1975–2017.Design/methodology/approachThe study employed Levinet al.(2002) test (LLC) and Imet al.(2003) panel unit root test. Furthermore, Kao’s cointegration test was applied to examine the long-run relationship between the variables. Both the Dynamic OLS and Fully modified OLS were used in estimating the short-run relationship.FindingsThe results of the DOLS and FMOLS indicate that both inward and outward FDI influence the manufacturing sector growth positively. This shows that much of the manufacturing sector growth in the MENA region is driven by both inward and outward FDI. Our findings made a strong new proposition that aside from the negative influence proposed by Stevens and Lipsey (1992), outward FDI could also have a positive influence on the manufacturing sector of a country through effective utilization of domestic raw materials that are produced locally for production of goods in a foreign country.Practical implicationsMENA countries should concentrate more on making policies that will encourage the effective utilization of domestic resources for outward foreign direct investment in other countries of the world as it has the capacity to boost the manufacturing sector growth. Also, policies that will attract more inflows of FDI in the region should be encouraged. Both inward and outward FDI should be considered as an integral part of MENA economic policy in order to spur the manufacturing sector growth.Originality/valuePrevious empirical studies on the relationship between FDI and manufacturing sector growth have focused much on the influence of inward FDI. Thus, very little attention has been paid to the contribution that the outward FDI makes to the growth of the manufacturing sector of the host country. Our empirical study focused on the influence of both inward and outward FDI on the manufacturing sector growth with specific emphasis on the MENA region that remains the center of attraction of inward FDI and a source of inward FDI to most nonoil producing developing and developed countries given the oil-rich nature of the region.
Communicating science in organizational contexts: toward an “organizational turn” in science communication research
Authors: Schäfer Mike S. , Fähnrich Birte 
Published: August 2020

PurposeResearch on science communication in organizational contexts is scarce – even though many cases can be found where organizations from science and beyond communicate about science-related issues, or where organizational contexts have an impact on the communication of individual scientists and scientific organizations. Therefore, it is time for an “organizational turn” in science communication research, and for more scholarly emphasis on the specific cases that science-related communication in, from and about organizations presents. Such an approximation would benefit both science communication research and analyses of strategic and organizational communication.Design/methodology/approachThis special issue of the “Journal of Communication Management” on “Communicating Science in Organizational Contexts” is a step in this direction: It compiles commentaries from leading scholars in the respective fields as well as research articles coming from various disciplines and conceptual as well as methodological paradigms. In the editorial, we assess overlaps between scholarship on science communication and strategic communication, respectively, based on a meta-analysis of journals in the field(s), develop a guiding heuristic for analyzing science communication in organizational settings, and introduce the contributions to the special issue.FindingsThe meta-analysis shows that overlaps between science communication research and scholarship on strategic communication are scarce. While organizations and their communication appear occasionally, and increasingly often, in science communication research, scholars of strategic communication only rarely analyze science communication.Research limitations/implicationsThe meta-analysis is limited to the publications of five scholarly journals over ten years. It still demonstrates the lack of research in the intersection of scholarship on science communication and strategic communication.Practical implicationsScientific organizations are rapidly extending and professionalizing their strategic communication, and an increasing number of organizations beyond science communicate on science or science-related issues. Understanding science communication in organizational settings, therefore, is crucial for practitioners in both areas.Originality/valueAnalyzing science communication in organizational settings is of increasing importance – yet few studies exist that have done it, and the respective research fields devote not much attention to one another. The special issue is a first foray into this new, intersectional field.
Pedagogy of life beyond extinction
Authors: Eliza Liyana , Sabki Aishah Ahmad , Hardaker Glenn 
Published: August 2020

Purpose
The purpose of this study is a reaction to COVID-19 and is intended to transcend the regular thoughts to deeper issues towards humanity and nature. The study explores the notion of extinction, and what we value, and alludes to humanity increasingly having fractured self-awareness in the context of the uncharted health threat of the global pandemic of 2020. The study focusses on a holistic perspective towards pedagogy that explores related issues of knowledge, spirituality, self-awareness and embodied actions.

Design/methodology/approach
This study adopts a reflective, and exploratory, style that is an enabler for future research into pedagogy that is focussed on humanity and nature.

Findings
The conceptual paper explores an holistic perspective towards pedagogy that considers issues of knowledge, spirituality, self-awareness and embodied actions.

Originality/value
This study’s intention is to extend our notion of pedagogy that looks beyond educational institutions in seeking a wider understanding of humanity and nature. The concept of “pedagogy of life beyond extinction” is used as a way to identify a selfless way in life that is underpinned by self-awareness. This provides a lens to intrinsic and extrinsic values that come from an interpretation of truth in our existence beyond self-interest.
Promoting knowledge circulation in public libraries: the role of gamification
Authors: Colasanti Nathalie , Fiori Valerio , Frondizi Rocco 
Published: August 2020

PurposeThe aim of the paper is to investigate the impact of nudges and considerations stemming from behavioural economics on the promotion and enhancement of knowledge circulation in public libraries. In fact, literature indicates that an approach based on nudging individuals towards desired behaviours may be more effective than top-down policy actions that may be perceived as excessive.Design/methodology/approachIn order to answer the research question, the paper analyses an exploratory case study regarding the network of public libraries in Rome, called Biblioteche di Roma (BdR). BdR launched its online platform in 2009, but it was never able to create a strong connection with offline activities, and contributions by readers (such as comments and book ratings) remained very low. In 2018, BdR introduced a gamification section in its website, with the goal of increasing users' interactions and book circulation. Data resulting from the use of gamification, both at city level and within different neighbourhoods, will be presented and analysed.FindingsResults indicate that the introduction of gamification was successful in increasing users' interactions and engagement, both online and offline.Originality/valueThe paper is valuable as it explores the introduction of nudge theory and gamification in the public library system.

‘He shall have care of the garden, its cultivation and produce’: Workhouse Gardens and Gardening, c.1780‐1835
Authors: Collinge Peter 
Published: August 2020

AbstractWhere productive workhouse gardens and land existed they comprised an essential aspect of institutional management, yet they feature only briefly in accounts of workhouses and inmates' lives. Their location, desirability and benefits, however, occupied the minds of parish officials, doctors, Enlightenment thinkers and pamphleteers. Workhouse gardens provided food and were regarded as mechanisms for discipline, moral encouragement and therapeutic benefit, and they illustrate the management of pauperism in local contexts. Eliciting a greater understanding of their significance and refining established assumptions about dietary provision for inmates, this article analyses itemised bills, nurserymen's ledgers and attitudes surrounding workhouse gardens and workhouse land.

Published: August 2020

BackgroundHistologically, SCLC are classified as pure (P‐SCLC) and combined subtypes (C‐SCLC). Currently, few studies compare the clinicopathological characteristics and explore the treatment strategies applied to them.MethodsBetween July 2005 and April 2016, the clinical records of 297 postoperative patients with pathologically confirmed SCLC were retrospectively analyzed. Kaplan‐Meier method and Cox regression model were separately used for stratified univariate and multivariate survival analysis.ResultsA total of 46 cases (15.5%) of C‐SCLCs and 251 cases (85.5%) of pure SCLCs (P‐SCLCs) were included in this study. The average age of C‐SCLCs was a little higher than that of P‐SCLCs (59.65 ± 8.72 vs. 56.56 ± 10.12; P = 0.053). More patients had a history of smoking in C‐SCLC (78.3% vs. 63.3%; P = 0.074). The five‐year overall survival (OS) rate for P‐SCLCs and C‐SCLCs was 65.1% and 56.7%, respectively (P = 0.683). For P‐SCLC, stage and an intervention of prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) were independent factors that affected OS. In C‐SCLCs cases, performing sublobectomy was an independent risk factor for poor prognosis.ConclusionsWe identified no significant difference in clinical characteristics and outcome between C‐SCLCs and P‐SCLCs. However, the factors affecting the prognosis of the two subtypes were slightly inconsistent. For C‐SCLCs, the extent of resection had a greater impact on survival, and lobectomy combined with systemic lymph node dissection should therefore be performed as extensively as possible. In addition, PCI was beneficial in improving the SCLC OS rate.Key points
This study demonstrated the prognosis of C‐SCLCs did not significantly differ from that of P‐SCLCs, but was more susceptible to the extent of resection. Patients with C‐SCLC who underwent limited resection had a significantly increased risk of shorter OS.
This study highlighted the importance of performing lobectomy for resectable C‐SCLC patients. This study also proved the benefit of PCI in improving the OS rate for both P‐SCLC and C‐SCLC patients.

Published: August 2020

BackgroundHyperprogressive disease (HPD) is a paradoxical acceleration of tumor growth after immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) treatment. This study aimed to identify the risk factors and to present a predictive model for HPD in patients treated with ICIs.MethodsA total of 78 non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cases, treated with at least two cycles of ICIs who underwent computed tomography (CT) for response assessment were recruited into the study from January 2016 to August 2019. HPD was defined by the following criteria: (i) time‐to‐treatment failure <2 months; (ii) a 50% increase in the sum of target lesion diameters; (iii) new development of at least two lesions in an already involved organ; (iv) appearance of a new organ lesion; and (v) a decrease in ECOG PS 2.ResultsOf the 78 total patients, 15 (19.2%) had HPD. The risk factors of HPD were age; primary lesion size; and metastases in the contralateral lung, pleura, liver, and bone in multivariable logistic regression (odds ratio [OR]; 0.9038, 1.6619, 28.5913, 23.8264, 14.5711, and 20.1533, respectively, all P‐values < 0.05). By using these risk factors, we developed a prediction model for HPD and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the model was 0.9556 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.9133–0.9978).ConclusionsHPD is relatively common and associated with a grave clinical outcome, requiring a careful monitoring in lung cancer patients treated with ICIs. Moreover, risk factors such as age, size of tumor and number of various metastatic lesions should be taken into consideration before ICI administration.Key pointsSignificant findings of the studyAge, primary lesion size, and number of metastases are risk factors of HPD. HPD is strongly associated with poor prognosis. HPD during ICI use needs comprehensive monitoring.What this study addsThis is the first study to develop a prediction model. The area under the curve of the prediction model for HPD was 0.9556.

AbstractBackgroundAnti‐HER2 therapy‐related cardiotoxicity is well described in the context of clinical trials, particularly in the setting of early stage disease, but there is more limited data in advanced breast cancer and in the real world setting.Material and methodsA prospectively‐maintained registry database with 312 consecutive patients diagnosed with HER2 positive advanced breast cancer in Australia was analysed.Results287 patients (92%) received anti‐HER2 therapy, 17 (6%) experienced anti‐HER2 therapy‐related cardiotoxicity. Patients who experienced cardiotoxicity were more likely to have ≥2 risk factors for cardiotoxicity (OR 3.9 95% CI 1.4‐11.3 p = 0.01). A prior diagnosis of cardiovascular disease was significantly associated with cardiotoxicity (OR 7.1 95% CI 1.3‐39.5). Cardiotoxicity resolved on imaging in 65% of patients; there was no association between severity and resolution. 11 patients (65%) received cardiologist input. Of the patients who developed cardiotoxicity, 12 patients (71%) received further anti‐HER2 therapy in the first‐ or second‐line setting without recurrent cardiotoxicity.Discussion and ConclusionTherapy‐related cardiotoxicity is an uncommon complication of anti‐HER2 therapy in the real world setting. Cardiac toxicity resolved in the majority of affected patients, and further anti‐HER2 therapy was administered without recurrence of cardiac issues. Our data suggests anti‐HER2 therapy can be safely given in routine care, even in patients with risk factors for toxicity.
Different patterns of treatment‐related adverse events of programmed cell death‐1 and its ligand‐1 inhibitors in different cancer types: A meta‐analysis and systemic review of clinical trials

Published: August 2020

AbstractProgrammed cell death receptor‐1 and its ligand‐1 (PD‐1/PD‐L1) inhibitors have been applied to many cancers, but the difference of treatment‐related adverse events (AEs) across cancer types remains unknown. We performed a meta‐analysis and systemic review to compare the incidences of commonly reported all‐grade AEs across cancer types and found that the most frequent AEs were fatigue, rash/pruritus, loss of appetite/nausea and diarrhea. However, each cancer type also had its higher incidences of AEs involving a relevant system, such as melanoma with epidermal AEs (rash, diarrhea and enterocolitis), lung cancer with dyspnea and pneumonitis, digestive system cancers with amylase and lipase elevation; and renal cell and urothelial cancer with kidney injury (creatinine elevation and proteinuria). However, the incidence of hepatitis did not follow the pattern to show a difference. We did another comparison between PD‐1 and PD‐L1 inhibitors in lung cancer and urothelial cancer respectively, and found that the risk of most AEs did not differ much, except for more hypothyroidism in PD‐1 inhibitors, and more kidney injury in PD‐L1 inhibitors. Besides possible immunological mechanisms for treatment‐related AEs, the influence of previous radiotherapy and the clinical characteristics of the diseases themselves should also be considered and is worth further investigation. With the result of this meta‐analysis, clinicians could estimate the risk of certain AE in certain cancer type, to make treatment options and to customize monitor strategies.

Published: August 2020

AbstractAimLow participation in cancer clinical trials by culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) patients limits access to cutting‐edge treatments and generalizability of results. This is the first study exploring trials knowledge/attitudes and their association with trial participation in Vietnamese‐ and Anglo‐Australian cancer patients.MethodsEligible patients diagnosed with cancer in the past 10 years were invited to complete a self‐report questionnaire comprising validated measures of: trials knowledge and attitudes, preferred information amount, preferred decision‐making involvement, health literacy, and past and future (i.e. hypothetical) trial participation. Multivariable linear regression evaluated correlates of trials knowledge/attitudes. Multinomial logistic regression estimated the relationship between trials knowledge/attitudes and possible future trial participation.ResultsVietnamese‐Australian participants (n = 50) had more negative attitudes regarding trials than Anglo‐Australians (n = 100; B = −9.28; 95% confidence interval [CI], −17.60 to −0.97; P = 0.029), but similar knowledge (B = −0.91; 95% CI, −2.27 to 0.44; P = 0.18). Future trial participation was associated with positive attitudes (odds ratio [OR] = 1.08; 95% CI, 1.04–1.12; P < 0.001) and greater knowledge (OR = 1.30; 95% CI, 1.04–1.62; P = 0.02), but not Vietnamese background (OR = 0.95; 95% CI, 0.27–3.32; P = 0.93).ConclusionDespite poorer attitudes regarding trials in Vietnamese‐Australians, Vietnamese background was not associated with less likely future trial participation, suggesting low trial participation by CALD patients may be more due to opportunity barriers. Improving knowledge and attitudes may increase trial participation generally.
MR‐guided simulation is superior than FDG/PET‐guided simulation for local control in nasopharyngeal cancer patients treated with intensity‐modulated radiotherapy

Published: August 2020

AbstractBackgroundMRI and PET/CT scans are the main supportive methods for nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) for staging and planning. The aim of this study is to compare MRI and PET/CT scanning in terms of survival in patients with NPC who had MRI or PET/CT‐simulated radiotherapy planning.MethodsPathological diagnosed nonkeratinized undifferentiated type and stage II‐IVA 91 NPC patients with treated intensity‐modulated radiotherapy plus chemotherapy were scanned. The patients were immobilized by a customized thermoplastic mask for fusion images both MRI scans and PET/CT scans. CTVs were created via MR‐guided simulation and PET/CT‐guided simulation.ResultsPET/CT‐guided simulation was performed with 44 patients (56.4%) and MR‐guided simulation was performed with 34 patients (43.6%). Local recurrence‐free survival (LRFS) of patients was 68.1 months. LRFS of patients with PET/CT‐guided simulation was 59.9, while LRFS of patients with MR‐guided was 66.9 months. There was a statistically significant difference between groups (P = .03). In the subgroup analyses, the patients were assessed by dividing into the three groups for the T1‐T2 stage, T‐3 stage, and T‐4 stage. In the patients with T1‐T2 stage, 5‐year LRFS rates were found %74.4 for PET/CT‐guided simulation and %83.3 for MR‐guided simulation. There was no statistically significant difference between groups (P = .33). In the patients with T‐3 stage, 5‐year LRFS rates were found %55.6 for PET/CT‐guided simulation and %83.3 for MR‐guided simulation. There was not a statistically significant difference between groups (P = .59). In the patients with T‐4 stage, 5‐year LRFS rates were found %42.2 for PET/CT‐guided simulation and %85.1 for MR‐guided simulation. The difference between groups was found to be statistically significant (P = .04).ConclusionIn this study, we founded that MR‐guided simulation has better than PET/CT‐guided simulation for LRFS.
