Strategizing family business with a Chandlerian perspective on 3Ms: a case study of London Biscuits Berhad in Malaysia
Authors: Kean Yew John Lee , Xavier Jesrina Ann 
Published: September 2021

Purpose
This paper aims to explore and explain following a generational change, the latter generation in Chinese family firm is seen to apply different innovation strategies to thrive in a competitive environment. The Chandlerian perspective on management, marketing and manufacturing techniques (3Ms), derived from American business historian, Alfred Chandler has shown conclusively that one of a small yet established enterprises in Malaysia, London Biscuits Berhad (LBB) was able to capture a larger market by focusing on strategy and structure. This case study analytically and empirically describes the insights surrounding enterprise development among family small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Malaysia.

Design/methodology/approach
By using the longitudinal way to compare the development of family business through time, the historical profiles that were obtained from Malaysia’s companies commission house (Suruhanjaya Syarikat Malaysia) shows how organizational characteristic is often formulated by capitalizing tacit knowledge as a controlled input in the production process while promoting organization capabilities, as generations change. Secondly, findings from the interviews will show how the latter generation of this family firm innovates and adds value in product manufacturing by upgrading its quality, using resources and revitalizing the stages of business cycle.

Findings
Findings show that enterprise development is influenced by objective setting during generational change. As time goes by, the next generations have a tendency of minimizing risk and maintaining harmony in the family enterprise. The next generation starts to recruit and retain professional staff while contributing innovative ideas toward the enterprise development, in comparison to the founding generation. The findings also show that diversification activities (manufacturing), improvement in domestic and international networking (marketing) and professional management adoption (management) can clearly be seen in the development of LBB.

Practical implications
This case study traces how organizational and administrative characteristics of a firm are crucial if the enterprise is to capitalize on tacit knowledge and commercialize it through product development. It also clearly indicates that family enterprises may last several generations if the Chandlerian perspective on 3Ms is successfully transferred and practiced among family members.

Originality/value
The selected case study focuses on the Chandlerian concept, which is the contribution of organization capabilities that foster strategic competition. This is done by investigating a successful enterprise run by a prominent Chinese family in Malaysia, which has gone through generational change. This paper proves that strategizing a family enterprise through the Chandlerian concept of 3Ms can transform a small business into a large and successful multinational enterprise.
Nurse-led long-term support groups for Latina women survivors of intimate partner violence
Authors: Montalvo-Liendo Nora , Page Robin , Chilton Jenifer , Nava Angeles 
Published: September 2021

Purpose
The purpose of this article is to describe the development of a Nurse-led Long-term Support Group (NLLTSG) as an intervention for Latina women survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV) as well as to discuss a process for facilitation.

Design/methodology/approach
Yalom’s (2005) group therapy principles guided the creation of the NLLTSGs. According to Yolam, interaction with others and sharing stories reinforces connections within group members and leads to interpersonal learning (Yalom, 2005).

Findings
Latina women survivors of IPV do not have adequate support post IPV relationships. In this case study, the authors describe the process for developing and facilitating a NLLTSG for Latina women survivors.

Research limitations/implications
The case study intervention only included Latina women living in the US Texas–Mexico border. Questions remain regarding the effectiveness of LTNLSGs with women from other cultures and geographic regions.

Practical implications
Nurses, nurse practitioners and other professionals can partner with community service agencies to offer this vital intervention to support and empower Latina women survivors and their families. Implications for future research include theory development and quantitative studies to measure empowerment and healing in Latina women survivors of IPV. The intervention and process should expand to include women of other cultures and geographic region.

Social implications
The case study established a NLLTSG as an effective intervention for initiating and maintaining a NLLTSG with Latina women survivors of IPV as well. NLLTSGs seem to be an essential intervention for recovery in this vulnerable population.

Originality/value
The content of this paper describes an innovative, culturally sensitive, practitioner-engaged response to intimate partner violence in Latina women survivors.
Trauma, time and information
Authors: Day Ronald E. 
Published: September 2021

PurposeIn this article the author would like to discuss information and the causal-temporal models as discussed in trauma theory and reports from trauma therapy. The article discusses two modes of temporality and the role of narrative explanations in informing the subject as to their past and present.Design/methodology/approachConceptual analysis.FindingsInformation in trauma has different meanings, partly as a result of different senses of temporality that make up explanations of trauma in trauma theory. One important meaning is that of explanation itself as a cause or a therapeutic cure for trauma.Research limitations/implicationsThe research proposes that trauma and trauma theory need to be understood in terms of the role of explanation, with explanation being understood as persuasion. This follows the historical genealogy of trauma theory from its origins in hypnosis and psychoanalysis.Originality/valueThe article examines the possibility of unconscious information and its effects in forming psychological subjectivity.

Authors: Koolivand Abbas , Salehi Mahdi , Arabzadeh Meysam , Ghodrati Hassan 
Published: September 2021

Purpose
This paper aims to assess the relationship between a knowledge-based economy and fraudulent financial reporting.

Design/methodology/approach
The study is descriptive-correlation based on published information from enlisted firms on the Tehran Stock Exchange during 2013–2019 with a sample of 178 firms (1,246 observations). The method used for hypothesis testing is linear regression using the panel data.

Findings
The results show that a knowledge-based economy is associated negatively and significantly with financial reporting. Moreover, robust testing has also examined the hypotheses (including fixed effects, OLS and t + 1) that confirmed the study’s preliminary results.

Originality/value
As the study was carried out in the emergent financial markets, like Iran, to figure out the relationship between knowledge-based economy and financial reporting, it can provide helpful information for the practitioners in this field.
Strengthening AML/CFT controls of digital payment token service providers in Singapore
Authors: Chua Tju Liang 
Published: September 2021

Purpose
To raise awareness of money laundering and terrorism financing (ML/TF) controls and regulations in Singapore for digital payment token (DPT) service providers.

Design/methodology/approach
This article summarizes the key points in the guidance infographic published by the Monetary Authority of Singapore on strengthening the AML/CFT controls of DPT service providers (Infographic). In line with the Infographic, these points pertain to: (1) recent developments in the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) Standards; (2) ML/TF risks in the DPT sector; and (3) an overview of MAS’ measures to address such risks, which include (i) licensing and supervision; (ii) AML/CFT notice and guidelines; and (iii) surveillance.

Findings
To combat illicit activities in Singapore’s DPT sector, the MAS has introduced AML/CFT measures that are aligned with the FATF Standards. DPT service providers should be cognizant of these regulations in developing their own internal measures.

Originality/value
Practical guidance from experienced lawyers in the Technology Transactions and Financial Services Regulatory & Enforcement practices.
Healthcare under pressure: modelling COVID-19 fatalities with multiscale geographically weighted regressions
Authors: Goschin Zizi , Dimian Gina Cristina 
Published: September 2021

PurposeThe paper aims to disentangle the factors behind territorial disparities in the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) case fatality ratio, focusing on the pressure put by the pandemic on healthcare services and adopting a spatial perspective.Design/methodology/approachMultiscale geographically weighted regression (MGWR) models have been used for uncovering the spatial variability in the impact of healthcare services on COVID-19 case fatality ratio, allowing authors to better capture the real spatial patterns at local level. The authors proved that this approach yields better results, and the MGWR model outperforms traditional regression methods. The selected case studies are two of the biggest UE countries, among the first affected by a high incidence of COVID-19 cases, namely Italy and Germany.FindingsThe authors found sizeable regional differences in COVID-19 mortality rates within each of the analysed countries, and the stress borne by local healthcare systems seems to be the most powerful factor in explaining them. In line with other studies, the authors found additional factors of influence, such as age distribution, gender ratio, population density and regional development.Originality/valueThis research clearly indicated that COVID-19 related deaths are strongly associated with the degree of resilience of the local healthcare systems. The authors supply localized results on the factors of influence, useful for assisting the decision-makers in prioritizing limited healthcare resources. The authors provide a scientific argument in favour of the decentralization of the pandemic management towards local authorities not neglecting, however, the necessary regional or national coordination.

Authors: Srivastava Shubham , Srivastava Abhishek , Jain Sanya , Kumar Nandan , Malvi Chandra Shekhar 
Published: September 2021

Purpose
This study aims to analyse the variations of thermal comfort inside a building space by using different curtains.

Design/methodology/approach
Phase change materials (PCMs) such as wax, sand and mixture of sand and wax were used with cotton curtain to compare the results of PCM curtains with the performance of normal cotton curtain against constant heat exposure. Heat exposure was provided with halogen to simulate the solar radiation. Further simulation was performed on ANSYS and experimental results were compared with the simulation results. In addition to this, the results were analysed for optimized performance by calculation root mean square error.

Findings
It was found that PCM used curtains that have better performance than normal curtain. Furthermore, sand curtain was proved as the best curtain and mixture of sand and wax curtain could replace the sand curtain where there is limitation of weight; also, there was less error between experimental and simulation was reported for sand curtain as compare to other curtains.

Research limitations/implications
Layers of different PCMs were used before cotton curtain and in modelling assumptions such as one-dimensional heat transfer, uniform thermal conductivity.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, there is no such study that was performed earlier.

Published: September 2021

SummaryFusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum (Fon) is a soil‐borne fungus causing vascular Fusarium wilt on watermelon; however, the molecular network regulating Fon virulence remains to be elucidated. Here, we report the function and mechanism of nucleotide sugar transporters (Nsts) in Fon. Fon genome harbours nine FonNst genes with distinct functions in vegetative growth, asexual production, cell wall stress response and virulence. FonNst2 and FonNst3 are required for full virulence of Fon on watermelon and FonNst2 is mainly involved in fungal colonization of the plant tissues. FonNst2 and FonNst3 form homo‐ or hetero‐dimers but function independently in Fon virulence. FonNst2, which has UDP‐galactose transporter activity in yeast, interacts with FonEro1 and FonPdi1, both of which are required for full virulence of Fon. FonNst2, FonPdi1 and FonEro1 target to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and are essential for ER homeostasis and function. FonEro1‐FonPdi1 module catalyses the dimerization of FonNst2, which is critical for Fon virulence. Undimerized FonNst2 is unstable and degraded via ER‐associated protein degradation in vivo. These data demonstrate that FonEro1‐FonPdi1 module‐catalysed dimerization of FonNst2 is critical for Fon virulence on watermelon and provide new insights into the regulation of virulence in plant fungal pathogens via disulfide bond formation of key pathogenicity factors.

Published: September 2021

AbstractObjectiveTo examine whether the correlation between a provider's effect on one population of patients and the same provider's effect on another population is underestimated if the effects for each population are estimated separately as opposed to being jointly modeled as random effects, and to characterize how the impact of the estimation procedure varies with sample size.Data sourcesMedicare claims and enrollment data on emergency department (ED) visits, including patient characteristics, the patient's hospitalization status, and identification of the doctor responsible for the decision to hospitalize the patient.Study designWe used a three‐pronged investigation consisting of analytical derivation, simulation experiments, and analysis of administrative data to demonstrate the fallibility of stratified estimation. Under each investigation method, results are compared between the joint modeling approach to those based on stratified analyses.Data collection/extraction methodsWe used data on ED visits from administrative claims from traditional (fee‐for‐service) Medicare from January 2012 through September 2015.Principal findingsThe simulation analysis demonstrates that the joint modeling approach is generally close to unbiased, whereas the stratified approach can be severely biased in small samples, a consequence of joint modeling benefitting from bivariate shrinkage and the stratified approach being compromised by measurement error. In the administrative data analyses, the estimated correlation of doctor admission tendencies between female and male patients was estimated to be 0.98 under the joint model but only 0.38 using stratified estimation. The analogous correlations for White and non‐White patients are 0.99 and 0.28 and for Medicaid dual‐eligible and non‐dual‐eligible patients are 0.99 and 0.31, respectively. These results are consistent with the analytical derivations.ConclusionsJoint modeling targets the parameter of primary interest. In the case of population correlations, it yields estimates that are substantially less biased and higher in magnitude than naive estimators that post‐process the estimates obtained from stratified models.
Mass grave localization prediction with geographical information systems in Guatemala and future impacts
Authors: Santillán Perla , Edwards Scott , Swall Jenise , Simmons Tal 
Published: September 2021

AbstractConducting physical searches for mass grave locations based on anecdotal evidence is a time‐consuming and resource‐intensive endeavor in circumstances that often pose a threat to personal safety. The development of tools and procedures to speed such searches can greatly reduce the risk involved, increase the number of individuals whose remains are recovered and identified, and more importantly, reunite these remains with their loved ones to provide them with a proper burial. Geographic information systems (GIS) software, which can analyze and manipulate the spatial characteristics of known mass grave data, represents a powerful tool that can be used to predict new mass grave locations and increase the speed and efficiency with which they are investigated. Using the open source QGIS project, existing mass grave locations in Guatemala were analyzed based on their distance from and change in elevation relative to roads, streets, waterways, points of interest, and possible villages/towns. Statistical and geostatistical analyses performed to detect relationships among the variables resulted in patterns that warrant further study and can be used to further narrow areas of investigation.
Induced abortion in Papua‐New Guinea: Experience and opinions of health professionals
Authors: Kopunye Francisca , Mola Glen , Woods Cindy , de Costa Caroline 
Published: September 2021

BackgroundPapua‐New Guinea (PNG) has one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the world; complications due to unsafe abortion are an important cause. Abortion laws are restrictive, and safe, induced abortions are unavailable to the majority of women, while unsafe abortions are known to be practised throughout the country. The topic of abortion is stigmatised, for women and health professionals.AimTo conduct a study of PNG health professionals’ experience of induced abortion and their views on the provision of safe, accessible abortion services for PNG women.Materials and MethodsA questionnaire developed from similar surveys conducted in Australia and New Zealand was distributed in 2017 to doctors working in provincial hospitals of the public health system; in 2020, the questionnaire was distributed to doctors and nursing staff in Port Moresby General Hospital, and to medical, nursing and health sciences students in the University of Papua‐New Guinea.ResultsSignificant numbers of senior medical officers and nurses reported experience of women presenting following unsafe induced abortion. There was wide variation across all respondents with regard to accurate knowledge of PNG’s abortion laws, and to views on the provision of safe accessible abortion services in the country’s public health system.ConclusionsAbortion training for service providers and provision of primary care services are necessary to ensure that PNG women have equitable access to abortion care instead of seeking out untrained providers or attempting self‐abortion. Innovative approaches also need to be adopted to complement family planning efforts in PNG.

AbstractObjectiveTo investigate the impact of COVID‐19 on the mental health and well‐being of rural paramedics, police, community nursing and child protection staff.MethodAn online survey was distributed to investigate the sources of stress and support across individual, task and organisational domains.Setting and ParticipantsThe survey was completed by 1542 paramedics, police, community nurses and child protection workers from all states and territories of Australia. This study describes the data for the 632 rural participants.Main outcome measuresThe main measures of well‐being were the Public Health Questionnaire (PHQ9), the Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD7), the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), workplace engagement, intention to quit and COVID‐19–related stress.ResultsThe mean depression and anxiety scores were 8.2 (PHQ9) and 6.8 (GAD7). This is 2–3 times that found in the general community. Over half (56.1%) of respondents showed high emotional exhaustion (burnout). The emotional exhaustion, depersonalisation and personal accomplishment mean scores were 28.5, 9.3 and 34.2, respectively. The strongest associations with burnout and psychological distress were workload, provision of practical support, training and organisational communication. A significant proportion of respondents were seriously considering quitting (27.4%) or looking for a new job with a different employer (28.5%) in the next 12 months.ConclusionsCOVID‐19 has increased the workload and stress on rural front‐line community staff. The major sources of stress were related to organisations’ responses to COVID‐19 and not COVID‐19 per se. The data suggest the most effective mental health interventions are practical and preventive, such as firstly ensuring fair and reasonable workloads.
Hidden taxonomic characters in otoliths of blenniid fishes (Teleostei: Blenniidae) from the Iranian coasts of the Persian Gulf and Oman Sea ecoregions: A scanning electron microscopy approach

Published: September 2021

AbstractIn the present work, the morphological characteristics of sagitta were described and analysed for 10 species of combtooth blennies (Blenniidae) inhabiting the intertidal region of the Persian Gulf and Makran zone of Oman Sea to see the taxonomic usefulness of otoliths, especially their hidden characters for species identification. Based on the obtained results, sagitta morphology could be considered as diagnostic characters distinguishing the genera Alticus, Antennablennius, Istiblennius, Omobranchus and Parablennius showing differences related to general shape, that is, elliptic/oval to triangular; shape of antirostrum and its degree of development; the degrees of convexity of ventral and dorsal margins, and shape of ostium. The common/general otolith characters shared in the all studied combtooth blennies, is the heterosulcoid condition, which is a shared character with Perciformes and Gobiiformes. The type of sulcus is ostial, and it can be considered as a plesiomorph character shared with a basal group of actinopterygian fishes. The obtained results could be useful in taxonomical, paleontological, ecological and food and feeding habits studies.
