AbstractUrbanisation is often put forward as an important driver of biodiversity loss, including for pollinators such as wild bees. However, recent evidence shows that the mosaics of urban green spaces, and in particular certain categories of informal urban green spaces (IGS), can play an important role to help native wild bees thrive in cities.Here, we describe the results of five years of citizen science and standardised field surveys of wild bees conducted at the Friche Josaphat, a 24-ha urban wasteland in the Brussels-Capital Region (Belgium). These field surveys were initiated following the planned restructuring and partial destruction of this site by the regional authorities.We recorded a total of 2,507 specimens belonging to 127 species of wild bees, i.e. 60.5% of the 210 species recorded regionally, including nine that are threatened with extinction at national or European scales. The Friche Josaphat encompasses a significant share of the functional and phylogenetic diversity of wild bees known from the Brussels-Capital Region and is one of the most species-rich localities known to date for wild bees in Belgium.Collectively, our results highlight the strong complementarity of citizen science and academic approaches in biodiversity surveys, and they reaffirm that wastelands are essential components of urban biodiversity. Our study stresses the need to provide biodiverse IGS with a formal status within the mosaic of urban green spaces, but also to acknowledge and safeguard their natural capital and the multiple ecosystem services they provide.

Published: March 2021

PurposeThis study aims to explore how banks in Nigeria are marketing financial services to financially vulnerable customers.Design/methodology/approachA multiple case study research strategy was used to analyse three commercial banks and two microfinance banks. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews with the banks' directors as well as from banks' published annual reports and archival images.FindingsThe study reveals that Nigerian banks develop different product development portfolios, adopt innovative traditional marketing schemes and apply inclusive technologies to reach and extend services to the unbanked and financially vulnerable customers in the society.Research limitations/implicationsBanks should focus on consumer engagement through the proactive development of technologies and employ innovative marketing methods. Customers' banking experiences can be enhanced if banks communicate with and educate customers about technological modes of engagement. In addition, financial service transaction support and financial literacy education can assist banks in marketing their services to financially vulnerable customers, in mutually beneficial ways.Originality/valueThis study shows how financial service operators' market and extend their services to financially vulnerable customers in emerging markets. It empirically establishes the importance of financial services to financially excluded customers.

Situating race: the case for examining Black children’s informal mathematics learning outside of schools
Authors: Cunningham Jahneille , Gomez Kimberley 
Published: March 2021

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to highlight the ways racialization in K-12 mathematics classrooms has narrowed the understanding of mathematical learning for Black children.

Design/methodology/approach
Drawing on situated learning theory and funds of knowledge, the authors argue that the social learning context of mathematics classrooms has limited the understanding of what Black children are capable of mathematically. The authors suggest that as a community of practice, mathematics classrooms may be marginalizing Black children, as well as other students of color, by devaluing their community-based knowledge and ways of knowing.

Findings
The extant literature portrays Black children as struggling in mathematics; however, this research is overwhelmingly conducted based on school performance measures. Yet, if one looks beyond the classroom to Black children's homes and communities, a plethora of mathematical knowledge tied to cultural and community practices may be found. As such, Black children who struggle in mathematics classroom may be experiencing misalignment across contexts, rather than a lack of mathematical knowledge altogether.

Practical implications
This paper has implications for classroom practice, particularly teacher ideologies pertaining to community-based knowledge. The authors urge mathematics education researchers and practitioners to look beyond the classroom, as community-based mathematical practices may provide more insight into students’ mathematical capabilities. These implications are particularly important for educating students of color, who often experience a subpar classroom education.

Originality/value
In this paper, the authors provide a critical lens to situated learning theory, pushing mathematics education research to examine the underexplored topic of Black children's out-of-school mathematical practices.
Network orchestration: new role of business incubators?
Authors: Antunes Luiz Guilherme Rodrigues , de Castro Cleber Carvalho , Mineiro Andrea Ap da Costa 
Published: March 2021

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the performance of incubators in the stages of formation and development of incubated business networks, especially in bottom-up and top-down network models.

Design/methodology/approach
The research is defined as qualitative and descriptive, with the application of multiple case studies, in which two networks of incubated businesses were investigated, one being top-down and the other bottom-up, which emerged within the incubation process of two business incubators (CIETEC and INCIT). To make the study operational, 11 semi-structured interviews were carried out and the thematic analysis of content was developed.

Findings
The results pointed out that in the top-down network the incubator performs a new assignment, the network orchestration, which corresponds to the actions of formation, coordination and governance of the group. In the bottom-up network, it was found that the role of the incubator was to expand the value offers usually practiced.

Research limitations/implications
As a limitation of the research, the very limitation of case studies is pointed out that is they do not allow for generalizations.

Practical implications
The research contributes to reflections on the effectiveness of the incubator and sheds light on the complementarity of networks in incubation processes, providing gains for incubators, incubated businesses and society.

Originality/value
The originality of this document is the new role of the incubator, which is orchestration, and its categorization. The results allow us to understand the effects of providing networks and relationships for incubated businesses. In addition, this study broadens the focus of traditional analyses of the incubator–incubated duo to consider the incubator–network–incubated trio.
Does municipal fiscal distress hinder inter-municipal cooperation?
Authors: Bocchino Matteo , Padovani Emanuele 
Published: March 2021

PurposeInter-municipal cooperation (IMC) has been increasingly adopted worldwide to tackle issues of size and cost reduction in the provision of public services. Although the determinants of cooperation among municipalities have been widely investigated in the prior literature, little is known about the link between a municipality's financial health and that of the supra-municipal entity formed under IMC. The purpose of this study is to fill this research gap by analyzing the case of municipal unions (MUs) in Italy.Design/methodology/approachA quantitative approach has been used, applying OLS and quantile regression on financial information and other variables of municipalities and their MUs.FindingsThe study finds that the most important condition of operation for IMC, that is, financial sustainability, is directly linked to the financial health of member municipalities and the functional integration reached with the supra-municipal entity.Originality/valueThe study analyses all MUs in Italy, focusing on the factors affecting their financial sustainability. In doing so, it sheds light on the factors that influence the financial sustainability of second-tier governments, which rely on external funding.

PurposeThis paper aims to present the findings from a European study on the digital skills gaps in tourism and hospitality companies.Design/methodology/approachMixed methods research was adopted. The sample includes 1,668 respondents (1,404 survey respondents and 264 interviewees) in 5 tourism sectors (accommodation establishments, tour operators and travel agents, food and beverage, visitor attractions and destination management organisations) in 8 European countries (UK, Italy, Ireland, Spain, Hungary, Germany, the Netherlands and Bulgaria).FindingsThe most important future digital skills include online marketing and communication skills, social media skills, MS Office skills, operating systems use skills and skills to monitor online reviews. The largest gaps between the current and the future skill levels were identified for artificial intelligence and robotics skills and augmented reality and virtual reality skills, but these skills, together with computer programming skills, were considered also as the least important digital skills. Three clusters were identified on the basis of their reported gaps between the current level and the future needs of digital skills. The country of registration, sector and size shape respondents’ answers regarding the current and future skills levels and the skills gap between them.Originality/valueThe paper discusses the digital skills gap of tourism and hospitality employees and identifies the most important digital skills they would need in the future.
Authenticity and employee wellbeing with reference to emotional work: a review
Authors: Mehta Poonam 
Published: March 2021

PurposeIn the service industry, there is an involvement of the human factor which comprises continuous interpersonal interactions. Sometimes, these interactions create incongruence between displayed and felt emotions which distract the employees from their authentic self and impair their well-being. This paper aims to made an attempt to review different studies to identify an association between authenticity at the workplace and employee well-being with reference to emotional work.Design/methodology/approachThe different studies have been reviewed mentioning the association between authenticity at the workplace and employee well-being with reference to emotional work published during the period of 1983–2020. The database which is used to identify and extract the research papers includes APA PycNET, Business Perspectives, Elsevier, Emerald Insight, Inderscience Publishers, SAGE, Taylor and Francis, etc. The keywords used for shortlisting the studies include employee well-being, emotional work, emotional dissonance, job satisfaction, surface acting, authenticity, burnout, authentic living, self-alienation.FindingsThe study has determined that emotional work influences the authenticity of an employee which further impacts the well-being of employees.Research limitations/implicationsThe present review would aid the researchers in explaining the relevance of authenticity at the workplace for enhancing the employee well-being specifically in emotional work settings.Social implicationsPromoting well-being at the workplace requires an action-oriented approach from the national level also. Hence, the present study may help in drawing inferences for framing well-being policies for employees at the national level.Originality/valueThe paper is amongst the few reviews which have analysed the substantial role of authenticity in the context of emotional work to improve employee well-being.
The use of simulation in occupational therapy education: A scoping review
Authors: Grant Terri , Thomas Yvonne , Gossman Peter , Berragan Liz 
Published: March 2021

AbstractIntroductionSimulated learning experiences are a common feature of many health professions’ pre‐registration curricula. However, the use of simulation within occupational therapy is still largely undefined. This scoping review seeks to identify and summarise the available evidence exploring the use of simulation within occupational therapy pre‐registration education.MethodsA search was conducted in four databases for articles published between 2009 and 2020 to identify international literature relevant to the use of simulation within occupational therapy education. Articles were evaluated using the appropriate Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) tool and key features and benefits of current simulation education were identified using thematic analysis.ResultsA total of 32 papers were included within the review. Four themes were identified and explored: simulation methods, authenticity, global approaches to simulation, and relationship to practice education.ConclusionSimulation is taking place in many different forms within occupational therapy internationally. It is positively received by students and may provide an effective replacement for practice education if focussed on professional standards and competencies. Further research into the potential effectiveness of simulation in relation to practice learning is indicated.
Financial `metrics for comparing Australian retirement villages
Authors: Kyng Timothy , Pitt David , Purcal Sachi , Zhang Jinhui 
Published: March 2021

AbstractRetirement village contracts are complex, blending together financial options on real estate, life annuities and life insurance. We analyse the structure of the cash flows involved in a retirement village contract and distil the cost components into an equivalent monthly comparison rent. In general, we observe lower monthly rents when the maintenance fees and deferred management fees are lower, when higher rates of capital gain are evident, and, importantly, when retirees reside in the retirement village for a longer period. Our analysis provides a framework to meaningfully compare the relative merits of the finances incorporated into retirement village contracts.
Does positive CSR increase willingness to invest in a company based on performance? The incremental role of combined assurance
Authors: Phang Soon‐Yeow , Hoang Hien 
Published: March 2021

AbstractWe examine whether the communication of combined assurance is effective in increasing favourable investment decisions towards a company with negative financial performance. We find that the communication of combined assurance, compared to when only corporate social responsibility (CSR) assurance is communicated, results in a more significant impact on investors’ decisions to invest when the company has negative performance, but this effect is less significant when the company has positive performance. When the company has positive performance, perceived reliability and willingness to invest do not change regardless of whether combined assurance is included or not.

Published: March 2021

AbstractBackground and aimsEvidence on the effectiveness of electronic cigarettes (ECs) to facilitate abstinence from smoking is limited. The current study aimed to estimate the relative effectiveness of ECs and smoking cessation medication compared with using no help, accounting for frequency of use of ECs.DesignFour consecutive wave‐to‐wave transitions (waves 1–2, 2–3, 3–4 or 4–5) of a longitudinal online survey collected between 2012 and 2017 were analysed. Time between waves ranged between 12 and 17 months. Cigarette smokers at the baseline wave who attempted to quit smoking between waves were included.SettingUnited KingdomParticipantsA total of 1155 respondents (aged 18–81, 56.1% male, 64.6% in social grade C2DE, 93.8% white) provided 1580 pairs of observations for the primary analysis.MeasurementsPrimary outcome: abstinence from smoking for at least 1 month at follow‐up; secondary outcome: at least 1 month's abstinence from smoking between baseline and follow‐up. The main predictor was stop smoking aid used (No help, nicotine replacement therapy only, smoking cessation medication only, disposable/cartridge EC, refill/modular EC, combination), adjusted for demographics.FindingsPrimary Compared with using no help, the odds of abstinence were increased by daily use of disposable/cartridge ECs (OR = 3.31 (1.32, 8.26), P = .010) and daily use of refill/modular ECs (OR = 5.47 (2.70, 11.11), P < .001). Odds were reduced by non‐daily use of disposable/cartridge ECs (OR = 0.23 (0.08–0.63), P = .005), and by use of disposable/cartridge ECs to quit and no longer using at follow‐up (OR = 0.10 (0.16–0.62), P < .013). Secondary Results were similar to the primary outcome; however, odds of abstinence were also increased by use of smoking cessation medication (OR = 4.15 (1.79, 9.62), P = .001).ConclusionsWhen used daily, electronic cigarettes appear to facilitate abstinence from smoking when compared with using no help.

AbstractPurposeDiagnosis and management of non‐infectious uveitis (NIU), a major cause of blindness worldwide, are challenging. Corticosteroids, the cornerstone of therapy, are not appropriate for long‐term use, and while non‐biologic and biologic immunomodulators may be used for some patients, data on their efficacy and safety in this population are limited. Repository corticotropin injection (RCI), believed to affect uveitis by multiple mechanisms, has received regulatory approval for treatment of ophthalmic diseases including posterior uveitis, but is not widely used or discussed in guidelines for the management of uveitis and ocular inflammatory diseases.MethodsThe index study employed a modified Delphi process with a panel of 14 US‐based ophthalmologists. Consensus recommendations were developed through a series of three questionnaires. Panellists rated statements on a Likert scale from –5 (strongly disagree) to +5 (strongly agree).ResultsThe Delphi panel provided consensus recommendations on examinations and testing needed for diagnosis, treatment goals, and the use of corticosteroids, as well as the use of non‐biologic and biologic immunomodulators. The panel reached consensus that RCI may be considered for posterior and pan‐uveitis, and dosing should be individualized for each patient. Dose reduction/discontinuation should be considered for excessive RCI‐related toxicity, hyperglycaemia and/or diabetic complications, excessive costs, or remission ≥ 2 years. Patients should be weaned from RCI if uveitis is stable and well controlled. Adverse events during RCI therapy can be managed by appropriate interventions, with dose reduction/discontinuation considered if events are severe or recurrent.ConclusionsExpert consensus suggests RCI may be an appropriate treatment option for some patients with uveitis when other therapies are ineffective or intolerable.

Published: March 2021

SummaryMyeloproliferative neoplasm‐unclassifiable (MPN‐U) presents an MPN‐type phenotype that fails to meet diagnostic criteria for other MPN variants. Variability in the clinicopathological phenotypes presents many challenges. Amongst a registry cohort of 1512 patients with MPN, 82 with MPN‐U were included, with a median (range) age of 49·7 (13–79) years. Albeit heterogeneous, common presentation features included raised lactate dehydrogenase, thrombocytosis and clustered/pleomorphic megakaryocytes on trephine biopsy. Thrombosis was common (21%), necessitating vigilance. The median event‐free survival was 11·25 years (95% confidence interval 9·3–not reached), significantly shortened in cases with lower platelet counts (<500 × 109/l) and a leucocytosis (≥12 × 109/l) at presentation. Generation of potential MPN‐U prognostic scores is required.
