Continuous ergonomic risk perception for manual assembly operations using wearable multi-sensor posture estimation
Authors: Fang Wei , Fu Mingyu , Zheng Lianyu 
Published: December 2021

Purpose
This paper aims to perform the real-time and accurate ergonomics analysis for the operator in the manual assembly, with the purpose of identifying potential ergonomic injuries when encountering labor-excessive and unreasonable assembly operations.

Design/methodology/approach
Instead of acquiring body data for ergonomic evaluation by arranging many observers around, this paper proposes a multi-sensor based wearable system to track worker’s posture for a continuous ergonomic assessment. Moreover, given the accurate neck postural data from the shop floor by the proposed wearable system, a continuous rapid upper limb assessment method with robustness to occasional posture changes, is proposed to evaluate the neck and upper back risk during the manual assembly operations.

Findings
The proposed method can retrieve human activity data during manual assembly operations, and experimental results illustrate that the proposed work is flexible and accurate for continuous ergonomic assessments in manual assembly operations.

Originality/value
Based on the proposed multi-sensor based wearable system for posture acquisition, a real-time and high-precision ergonomics analysis is achieved with the postural data arrived continuously, it can provide a more objective indicator to assess the ergonomics during manual assembly.
Space for accounting and accountability: realising potential management accounting research contributions to the space sector
Authors: Tucker Basil P. , Alewine Hank C. 
Published: December 2021

PurposeThe contribution of accounting research to the space sector has arguably been less discernible, less visible and less appreciated than that made by STEM disciplines. This paper aims to ascertain the nature and extent to which management accounting can contribute to interdisciplinary advancements of the space sector. This is accomplished by investigating possible contributions realised by management accounting research to the space sector and identifying the opportunities and challenges facing interdisciplinary accounting researchers in making a contribution.Design/methodology/approachThis qualitative empirical study draws on interviews with 25 academic researchers and practitioners from Australia, the USA, the UK, Canada, Europe, India and China, with research or practitioner experience on accounting issues germane to the space sector. The purpose is to seek their perceptions of how interdisciplinary management accounting research can solve contemporaneous problems in the space sector.FindingsThe potential contribution that management accounting research can make in the space sector is grounded in the inherent interdisciplinary of the discipline. The propensity to draw on other disciplines, theories, methodologies and methods is a strength of management accounting, as it is arguably by such interdisciplinarity that “wicked problems’ such as those presented by space exploration, policy and research can be solved.Originality/valueThis is one of the first papers to explore the role and contribution management accounting research can offer to what has traditionally been a STEM-dominated field. In so doing, it underscores the central importance and value-added by an interdisciplinary approach to management accounting research.
Does autonomy support matter for intern well-being in Malaysia? A self-determination theory approach
Authors: Gu Manli , Liu Li , Bolt Ester Ellen Trees 
Published: December 2021

PurposeResearch has shown that autonomy support is a powerful predictor of employee well-being in the West. Despite this importance in the West, the role of autonomy in relation to employee well-being remains relatively understudied in other contexts, such as Malaysia. This is presumably so due to the assumption that employees in a country of excessive hierarchy, like Malaysia, do not value autonomy. Drawing on self-determination theory (SDT), this paper aims to investigate the relationship between employee perceived autonomy support and well-being in the context of Malaysia.Design/methodology/approachThe authors propose that employee-perceived autonomy support is positively related to employee well-being (measured as work engagement and emotional exhaustion) mediated by basic psychological need satisfaction. The authors also hypothesize that the positive relationship is even stronger when employees are less autonomy-oriented. The authors tested this moderated mediation model using a survey of 125 interns in Malaysia.FindingsThe results provide strong evidence for the mediating role of need satisfaction when intern well-being is measured as work engagement, while the evidence is less conclusive when employee well-being is measured as emotional exhaustion. Moreover, the moderating effect of autonomy orientation is insignificant.Originality/valueThis paper enhances understanding of the cross-culture applicability of SDT and thereby provided a nuanced understanding of the boundary conditions of autonomy support.
Impact of corporate network position on strategic risk and company’s performance – evidence from Poland
Authors: Światowiec-Szczepańska Justyna , Stępień Beata 
Published: December 2021

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to investigate the links between a company’s position in a corporate network with its financial performance and strategic risk in the context of the largest Central European stock market.Design/methodology/approachThis study integrates the theory of social network analysis (SNA) with corporate governance theory with a special focus on resource dependence theory. Using the framework of network social analysis, the authors use network measures of social capital and embeddedness.FindingsThe results of studying companies listed on the Polish stock exchange indicate that a company’s corporate network position has a significant negative impact on strategic risk while having no influence on its financial performance. The research also highlights the importance of a firm’s corporate governance model for both performance and strategic risk.Research limitations/implicationsThe data collected, and SNA measures used made it possible to conduct a cross-sectional study. Compared to longitudinal studies, this type of study has a couple of disadvantages addressed in the paper. In the future, the dependencies observed in this study should be tested using longer-term data.Originality/valueTo the best of the author’s knowledge, this is the first paper integrating the corporate personal and capital networks to test risk and performance dependencies in the context of Poland’s corporate governance model. The findings and conclusions can also be applied to analyzing Central and Eastern Europe stock markets.
Families’ engagement in making activities related to aerospace engineering: designing for parents as learning partners in pop-up makerspaces
Authors: Zimmerman Heather Toomey , Grills Katharine Ellen , McKinley Zachary , Kim Soo Hyeon 
Published: December 2021

Purpose
The researchers conducted a collective case study to investigate how families engaged in making activities related to aerospace engineering in six pop-up makerspace programs held in libraries and one museum. The purpose of this paper is to support families’ engagement in design tasks and engineering thinking, three types of discussion prompts were used during each workshop. The orienting design conjecture was that discussion prompts would allow parents to lead productive conversations to support engineering-making activities.

Design/methodology/approach
Within a collective case study approach, 20 consented families (22 adults, 25 children) engaged in making practices related to making a lunar rover with a scientific instrument panel. Data included cases of families’ talk and actions, as documented through video (22 h) and photographs of their engineering designs. An interpretivist, qualitative video-based analysis was conducted by creating individual narrative accounts of each family (including transcript excerpts and images).

Findings
Parents used the question prompts in ways that were integral to supporting youths’ participation in the engineering activities. Children often did not answer the astronomer’s questions directly; instead, the parents revoiced the prompts before the children’s engagement. Family prompts supported reflecting upon prior experiences, defining the design problem and maintaining the activity flow.

Originality/value
Designing discussion prompts, within a broader project-based learning pedagogy, supports family engagement in engineering design practices in out-of-school pop-up makerspace settings. The work suggests that parents play a crucial role in engineering workshops for youths aged 5 to 10 years old by revoicing prompts to keep families’ design work and sensemaking talk (connecting prior and new ideas) flowing throughout a makerspace workshop.

Published: December 2021

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the effectiveness of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF’s) recommendations in Latin America in the fight against Money Laundering (ML) through the Immediate Outcomes 4 (Preventive Measures) and 6 (Financial Intelligence) and the relationship between anti-money laundering (AML) effectiveness and anti-corruption measures.

Design/methodology/approach
Through quantitative and quality methods measure the performance of the Immediate Outcomes’ levels in compliance with the established FATF’ standards; The objective is to analyze progress in the prevention and identification of ML.

Findings
The authors discuss the relationship between AML effectiveness and anti-corruption measures starting with the analysis of the best-ranked country in these indicators (IO4 and IO6).

Research limitations/implications
Mutual evaluations require a long process, which is why the authors do not have all the updated data for all the Latin American countries; only the updated Immediate Outcomes data up to September 16, 2021, are taken. This paper is part of the Research Project “The impacts of corruption in the Western Hemisphere and regional responses.”

Originality/value
Through a multidisciplinary analysis, the Immediate Results evaluation model is prioritized to measure the effectiveness of the methods applied in Latin America through the IO4 and IO6. The model that presents the best effectiveness is selected and the successes that this country is applying over its peers are analyzed. From this analysis, a quantitative and qualitative analysis can be appreciated.
Cricket, Englishness and Racial Thinking
Authors: Collins Michael 
Published: December 2021

AbstractDuring 2021, long‐standing concerns about racism in English cricket rose to the surface to become very public, political questions. For the purposes of clarity, this article begins by drawing a distinction between racism on the one hand and ‘racial thinking’ on the other. It suggests that racial thinking is related to, but analytically distinct from, and in fact prior to racism. It then goes on to develop a wider analysis of the historical connections between cricket, Englishness and racial thinking. With this in mind, the final section of the article draws on the preceding historical analysis to explore some of the more recent examples of racial thinking in cricket, and their implications for how we might approach the problem of racism in English cricket today.
Forensic documentation of non‐fatal strangulation
Authors: Reckdenwald Amy , Powell Karina M. , Martins Traccy A. W. 
Published: December 2021

AbstractThe purpose of this study is to examine forensic documentation of non‐fatal strangulation (NFS) in domestic violence cases. Research has pointed to the importance of forensic evidence in the prosecution of strangulation offenders. However, limited research has examined the type of evidence that is gathered during a forensic examination for NFS that occurs during a domestic violence situation. To address this gap in the literature, this study analyzed 63 NFS forensic examination records and body sketches for victims who were referred by police during a domestic violence incident. Results reflect the seriousness of NFS with multiple strangulation attacks in the current incident recorded in 52% of the reports, loss of consciousness recorded in 13.1% of the reports, and a history of strangulation in the relationship recorded in 60% of the reports. It is argued that a forensic exam is essential to identify and mitigate serious symptoms and injuries, as well as to collect valuable evidence that can be used during legal proceedings. Implications for practice and policy are discussed.
The impact of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors on ileus and gut motility following abdominal surgery: a clinical review
Authors: Traeger Luke , Kroon Hidde M. , Bedrikovetski Sergei , Moore James W. , Sammour Tarik 
Published: December 2021

AbstractPostoperative ileus is a common complication in the days following colorectal surgery occurring in up to 50% of patients. When prolonged, this complication results in significant morbidity and mortality, doubling the total costs of hospital stay. Postoperative ileus (POI) results from the prolonged inflammatory phase that is mediated in part by the cholinergic anti‐inflammatory pathway. Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, such as neostigmine and pyridostigmine, delay the degradation of acetylcholine at the synaptic cleft. This increase in acetylcholine has been shown to increase gut motility. They have been effective in the treatment of acute colonic pseudo‐obstruction, but there is limited evidence for the use of these medications for reducing the incidence of POI. This review was conducted to summarise the evidence of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors' effect on gut motility and discuss their potential use as part of an enhanced recovery protocols to prevent or treat POI.
Review article: current and future treatment approaches for pain in IBS
Authors: Paine Peter 
Published: December 2021

SummaryBackgroundAbdominal pain is a core symptom of IBS and a primary driver of care seeking. Visceral hypersensitivity is a key pathophysiological mechanism and therapeutic target for pain in IBS, with components of peripheral and central sensitisation and psychological factors.AimTo review current and future treatment approaches specifically for the pain component of IBS.MethodsPubmed search terms included combinations of irritable bowel, pain, visceral hypersensitivity, novel, new, emerging, future and advances.ResultsEstablished non‐pharmacological treatments for IBS pain include the low FODMAP diet, probiotics and psychological interventions, especially hypnotherapy. Tricyclics remain the best evidenced pharmacological approach with GCC agonists, tenapanor, lubiprostone, eluxadoline and 5HT3 antagonists second line according to patient characteristics and availability. Less well‐evidenced current options include anti‐spasmodics, peppermint oil, SSRIs, SNRIs, alpha 2 delta ligands, melatonin and histamine antagonists. Patients are vulnerable to iatrogenesis and harmful approaches to be avoided include opioids and unwarranted surgical interventions. For severe pain, the concept of augmentation with combined gut‐brain neuromodulators and psychotherapy in a multi‐disciplinary setting is considered. A plethora of molecular targets and ligands are emerging from pre‐clinical studies, together with early clinical evidence for a range of pharmacological, dietary, neurostimulation and novel psychological treatment delivery methods which are reviewed. The history of such emerging approaches, however, merits both caution and optimism in equal measure.ConclusionsDespite good in‐roads and emerging options, the management of abdominal pain remains one of the biggest challenges and research priorities for patients with IBS.
Review Article: Current and future treatment approaches for IBS with diarrhoea (IBS‐D) and IBS mixed pattern (IBS‐M)
Authors: Nee Judy , Lembo Anthony 
Published: December 2021

SummaryBackgroundIrritable bowel syndrome‐diarrhoea (IBS‐D) and IBS‐mixed stool pattern (IBS‐M) are disorders of gut‐brain interaction characterised by abdominal pain associated with diarrhoea or both diarrhoea and constipation respectively. The pathophysiology of IBS‐D/M is multifactorial and not completely understood; thus, treatment is aimed at multiple mechanisms such as altering gut microbiota, visceral hypersensitivity, intestinal permeability, gut‐brain interaction and psychological strategies.AimThe goal of this article was to provide an up‐to‐date review of the current evidence for both non‐pharmacological and pharmacological treatment options in IBS‐D and IBS‐M. Future treatments for IBS‐D and IBS‐M will also be discussed.MethodsMedline and Embase database searches (through April 30 2021) to identify clinical studies in subjects with IBS‐D in which dietary modification, alternative treatments (probiotics, acupuncture, exercise) as well as FDA‐approved medications were used.ResultsDietary modification is often the first line of therapy. Furthermore, lifestyle treatments include complementary alternative medications (CAM), probiotics and peppermint oil are useful adjuncts but have not specifically been described in IBS‐D/M. Evidence strongly supports psychotherapy in the treatment of IBS. Beyond over‐the counter anti‐diarrhoeals, anti‐spasmodics and anti‐depressants, pharmacological treatment now includes treating for bile acid malabsorption and the FDA‐approved medications rifaximin, eluxadoline and alosetron.ConclusionsThe treatment of IBS‐D/M ideally involves a multidisciplinary approach of primary care, gastroenterologist and psychologist. Treatment often involves both non‐pharmacological and pharmacological therapies. Future therapies may include faecal microbial transplant, Crofelemer and serotonin antagonists, but further studies are needed.
Review article: the patients' experience with irritable bowel syndrome and their search for education and support
Authors: Ruddy Johannah 
Published: December 2021

SummaryBackground & aimsMethodsThe author looked at the impact of IBS with a review of the scientific evidence with the following aims: a) to study the effect of IBS on a patient's quality of life, health care utilization rates and the importance of education on their condition and associated treatments b) to characterize the influence of sociocultural factors, health care literacy and the role that education has in improving clinical outcomes and c) to make recommendations of how to effectively provide education to patients about their diagnosis and treatment options in order to improve symptoms and clinical outcomes.ResultsEvidence supports the fact that interventions targeting patient‐provider interactions in order to provide validated and evidence based education options can improve health outcomes, the patient and provider experience, and reduce costs. Effectively communicating the rationale of the brain‐gut axis, as well as treatments such as the benefits of neuromodulators or behavioral health treatments can improve patient satisfaction and clinical outcomes.ConclusionsThe author concluded that effective patient education can improve the patient‐provider relationship and health outcomes. The author also provides info‐graphics and a listing of vetted, scientifically backed educational resources for patients to utilize for self management.
The gift of language: An anthropological approach to child language brokering in Barcelona
Authors: Romero‐Moreno Aran , Vargas‐Urpí Mireia 
Published: December 2021

AbstractThe phenomenon of child language brokering (CLB), that is, translation and interpreting tasks children take on to facilitate communication for their parents and other adults, is often invisible or neglected. The present article seeks to study CLB in the province of Barcelona (Spain) through the theoretical lens of Marcel Mauss's anthropological concept of the ‘gift’. The authors employ interviews with child language brokers, young mediators and parents to show that children's language competences circulate as a gendered gift that produces and reproduces social ties of different kinds—family, extended family, community, the public—and with different levels of reciprocity.
To exchange or not to exchange liquid food: is that the question for foraging leaf‐cutting ant workers?

Published: December 2021

AbstractLeaf‐cutting ants forage fresh plants in the field to cultivate the symbiotic fungus in their nests. The trophallaxis rates in leaf‐cutting ants may be related to liquid foraging behavior and exchanging liquid food with other ants inside the nest. The liquid foraging and liquid food exchange in laboratory colonies of the leaf‐cutting ant Atta sexdens (L.) (Hymenoptera: Formicidae, Attini) were studied to test whether liquid food is transferred to inside‐nest workers by foragers. The foragers commonly ingested liquid when provided with a liquid source and performed different behaviors, such as self‐ and allogrooming, but without food exchange (oral trophallaxis) to the workers inside the nest. The liquid foraging was not related to food exchange with workers inside the nest. We suggest that liquid foraging meets the individual worker needs without liquid exchange among ants inside their colonies.
Characterization of fatigue performance of the warm‐mix recycled asphalt mixture using different models
Authors: Li Qiang , Meng Yuanpeng , Li Nianhe , Li Guofen , Wang Jiaqing 
Published: December 2021

AbstractThe fatigue performance of different warm‐mix recycled asphalt mixtures was evaluated by the semicircular bend (SCB) test. A delayed oven heating (DOH) method was developed to simulate the long‐term ageing in the laboratory. The effects of recycling plans, reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) content, and ageing levels on the tensile strength and fatigue resistance were investigated. The fatigue life of the warm‐mix recycled asphalt mixture was characterized by the phenomenological, dissipated energy, and the ratio of dissipated energy change (RDEC) models, respectively. The results show that the use of the warm‐mix asphalt (WMA) technology causes a reduction of the fatigue performance for the recycled asphalt mixture, which can be compensated by the addition of styrene–butadiene rubber (SBR) latex. As the RAP content or long‐term ageing time increases, the fatigue life significantly decreases. The dissipated energy model with the unified model coefficients can predict the fatigue lives for different warm‐mix recycled asphalt mixtures.
