Exposing racial bias in midwifery education: A content analysis of images and text in Myles Textbook for Midwives
Authors: Harkness Mairi , Wallace Chlorice 
Published: October 2021

AbstractObjectiveTo determine how people of different races and skin colours are represented within Myles Textbook for Midwives and whether the identified content is clinically relevant to people of all skin colours.DesignContent analysis of text and images in Myles Textbook for Midwives 17th Edition, 2020FindingsThe images overwhelmingly depict light skinned people of White European appearance. When people of colour are shown they are more likely to be positioned in prominent imagery without specific link to the chapter topic. Descriptions of skin colour in the context of clinical assessment and/or treatment often applied mostly or solely to people with light colour skin. This included text referring to serious conditions or situations associated with severe morbidity or mortality.Key conclusionsMyles Textbook for Midwives presents a light skinned White European norm and often fails to include information that is clinically relevant to the assessment and treatment of people with darker skin colours. This may lead to disparity in midwifery education and contribute to poorer outcomes for women and babies.Implications for practiceConcrete efforts are required to identify and root out racial bias at all levels of midwifery education. This needs to happen alongside addressing current lack of good quality evidence required to support practice.
scatterHatch: an R/Bioconductor package for generating colorblind-friendly scatter plots for single-cell data
Authors: Guha Tejas , Fertig Elana , Deshpande Atul 
Published: October 2021

AbstractReduced-dimension or spatial in situ scatter plots are widely employed in bioinformatics papers analyzing single-cell data to present phenomena or cell-conditions of interest in cell groups. When displaying these cell groups, color is frequently the only graphical cue used to differentiate them. However, as the complexity of the information presented in these visualizations increases, the usefulness of color as the only visual cue declines, especially for the sizable readership with color-vision deficiencies (CVDs). In this paper, we present scatterHatch, an R package that creates easily interpretable scatter plots by redundant coding of cell groups using colors as well as patterns. We give examples to demonstrate how the scatterHatch plots are more accessible than simple scatter plots when simulated for various types of CVDs.

ABSTRACTA small population of self-renewing stem cells initiate tumors and maintain therapeutic resistance in glioblastoma. Given the limited treatment options and dismal prognosis for this disease there is urgent need to identify drivers of stem cells that could be druggable targets. Previous work showed that the endosomal pH regulator NHE9 is upregulated in glioblastoma and correlates with worse survival prognosis. Here, we probed for aberrant signaling pathways in patient-derived glioblastoma cells and found that NHE9 increases cell surface expression and phosphorylation of multiple receptor tyrosine kinases by promoting their escape from lysosomal degradation. Downstream of NHE9-mediated receptor activation, oncogenic signaling pathways converged on the JAK2-STAT3 transduction axis to induce pluripotency genes Oct4 and Nanog and suppress markers of glial differentiation. We used both genetic and chemical approaches to query the role of endosomal pH in glioblastoma phenotypes. Loss-of-function mutations in NHE9 that failed to alkalinize endosomal lumen did not increase self-renewal capacity of gliomaspheres in vitro. However, monensin, a chemical mimetic of Na+/H+ exchanger activity, and the H+ pump inhibitor bafilomycin bypassed NHE9 to directly alkalinize the endosomal lumen resulting in stabilization of receptor tyrosine kinases and induction of Oct4 and Nanog. Using orthotopic models of primary glioblastoma cells we found that NHE9 increased tumor initiation in vivo. We propose that NHE9 initiates inside-out signaling from the endosomal lumen, distinct from the established effects of cytoplasmic and extracellular pH on tumorigenesis. Endosomal pH may be an attractive therapeutic target that diminishes stemness in glioblastoma, agnostic of specific receptor subtype.SignificanceA well-known hallmark of cancer is excessive acidification of tumor microenvironment, caused by upregulation of Na+/H+ exchanger activity on the cancer cell membrane. However, the role of organellar pH in tumor biology has not been established. This study identifies a mechanistic link between upregulation of the endosomal Na+/H+ exchanger NHE9 and stemness properties in glioblastoma, the most malignant and common brain tumor in adults. By increasing pH of the recycling endosome, NHE9 exerts a broad effect on post-translational stability and activation of multiple receptor tyrosine kinases, leading to increased stem cell-like properties of self-renewal and tumor initiation in glioblastoma models. Our findings suggest that targeting NHE9 or endosomal pH could be an effective strategy for receptor agnostic glioblastoma treatment.
Exploiting bullets: international business and the dynamics of war
Authors: Owens Martin David 
Published: October 2021

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to critically review the existing research on the intersection between war and international business (IB) and to map out a future research agenda.

Design/methodology/approach
Drawing on corporate examples and extant literature within IB, political science and international relations, the paper provides an introduction to the main concepts of war, a review of the IB research on war and provides a critical future research agenda.

Findings
The review of the multiple strands of war-related research in IB generally reveals an understudied area. Among other biases, prior research has focused on inter-state wars and has relatively unexplored foreign direct investment (FDI) and non-FDI within civil wars. Furthermore, previous studies offer little attention to how IB and multinational companies contribute to the emergence and development of wars.

Originality/value
The paper develops an analytical and critical research agenda for future research to examine the relationship between war and IB. This includes a set of questions for each of the three major phases of war: pre-conflict, armed violence and post-conflict. To the best of my knowledge, this has not been done before in the context of IB research.
“If only…”: customer counterfactual thinking in failed recovery
Authors: Tran Hai-Anh , Strizhakova Yuliya , Liu Hongfei , Golgeci Ismail 
Published: October 2021

Purpose
This paper aims to examine counterfactual thinking as a key mediator of the effects of failed recovery (vs. failed delivery) on negative electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM). The authors further investigate the effectiveness of using recovery co-creation in minimizing customers’ counterfactual thinking.

Design/methodology/approach
This research includes textual analysis of online reviews (Study 1) and three scenario-based experiments (Studies 2, 3a and 3b). In addition to using item-response scales, the authors analyze negative online reviews and participants’ open-ended responses to capture their counterfactual thinking.

Findings
Failed recovery (vs failed delivery) increases counterfactual thinking, which, in turn, increases negative eWOM. These mediating effects of counterfactual thinking are consistent across textual analyses and experimental studies, as well as across different measures of counterfactual thinking. Counterfactual thinking also impacts customer anger in experiments; however, anger alone does not explain the effects of failed recovery on negative eWOM. Counterfactual thinking can be minimized by co-created recovery, especially when it is used proactively.

Practical implications
The findings demonstrate the detrimental effects of counterfactual thinking and offer managerial insights into co-creation as a strategy to minimize customers’ counterfactual thinking. The authors also highlight the importance and ways of tracking counterfactual thinking in digital outlets.

Originality/value
The authors contribute to counterfactual thinking and service recovery research by demonstrating the effects of failed recovery on counterfactual thinking that, in turn, impacts negative eWOM and offering a novel way to measure its expression in online narratives. The authors provide guidance on how to use co-creation in the service recovery process to minimize counterfactual thinking.

Sensing and seizing in the apparel industry: the role of dynamic capabilities in fostering sustainable strategic orientations
Authors: Chevrollier Nicolas , Kuijf Fons 
Published: October 2021

Purpose
This paper aims to explore how the dynamic capabilities sensing and seizing could support a sustainable (either instrumental or stewardship) strategic orientation in the apparel industry.

Design/methodology/approach
Through qualitative and inductive research design, ten companies from the Sustainable Apparel Coalition, specifically focusing on brands, were researched. Employees in strategic positions were interviewed. Subsequently, thematic analysis was realized to extract findings from both instrumental and stewardship organizations.

Findings
Instrumental organizations focus on increasing their brand, mainly by following market demands. They sense opportunities via a hierarchical organizational structure that allows for incremental innovation based on internal competition. Stewardship organizations believe in a collective approach toward conducting business effectively. While building a “sustainable case for business”, a stewardship-oriented company senses by involving their stakeholders and seeks unorthodox opportunities using a long-term internal compass as a beacon for decision-making.

Originality/value
Key capabilities are revealed that allow businesses and managers to reach higher levels of sustainability in a specific sector: the apparel industry. Especially the capabilities of stewardship-oriented companies and its ambidexterity provide a fertile base for future research at the nexus of organization development and sustainability.

High plant-based diet and physical activity in women during menopausal transition
Authors: Lombardo Mauro , Rizzo Gianluca , Feraco Alessandra , Perrone Marco Alfonso , Bellia Chiara , Lauro Davide , Caprio Massimiliano , Bellia Alfonso , Padua Elvira 
Published: October 2021

Purpose
The menopausal transition (MT) is a period when there may be an increase in visceral fat mass and a worsening of cardiometabolic risk factors. Few studies have evaluated the efficacy of plant-based low-calorie diets on groups of women at different stages of MT. The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of a high plant-to-animal protein ratio diet in women of similar age but with different fertility statuses.

Design/methodology/approach
Subjects were divided into three groups according to their fertility status at the baseline: “premenopausal” (n = 11), “perimenopause” (n = 14) and “postmenopause” (n = 18). Body composition (BC) was measured at the beginning and after eight months of treatment. Individualised lifestyle treatment included a strong component of plant-based foods.

Findings
Forty-three overweight or obese Caucasian women (age 52.3 ± 4.5 years, body mass index 30.6 ± 5.4 kg/m2, fat mass 33.1 ± 9.3 kg data presented as means ± SD) were included in the study. Mean physical activity was 8.4 ± 7.6 metabolic equivalent of tasks/week. Subjects had an improvement in BC (fat mass −5.6 ± 4.0 kg, p < 0.001 protein −0.3 ± 0.5 kg, p < 0.001), HDL-C and systolic blood pressure values. Waist circumference and hip circumference decreased by 4.1 ± 3.1 cm and −6.0 ± 4.3 cm, respectively. Weight loss resulted in a significant improvement in some blood lipid values, such as total and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Adherence to a high plant protein diet helps adult women with different fertility statuses to improve BC and reduce cardiovascular risk factors. Long-term studies with larger sample sizes are needed to confirm these findings.

Originality/value
In pre-peri- and post-menopausal adult women, a diet high in plant proteins improves body composition and reduces cardiovascular risk factors.
Multi-sensor fusion for underwater robot self-localization using PC/BC-DIM neural network
Authors: Ali Umair , Muhammad Wasif , Irshad Muhammad Jehanzed , Manzoor Sajjad 
Published: October 2021

Purpose
Self-localization of an underwater robot using global positioning sensor and other radio positioning systems is not possible, as an alternative onboard sensor-based self-location estimation provides another possible solution. However, the dynamic and unstructured nature of the sea environment and highly noise effected sensory information makes the underwater robot self-localization a challenging research topic. The state-of-art multi-sensor fusion algorithms are deficient in dealing of multi-sensor data, e.g. Kalman filter cannot deal with non-Gaussian noise, while parametric filter such as Monte Carlo localization has high computational cost. An optimal fusion policy with low computational cost is an important research question for underwater robot localization.

Design/methodology/approach
In this paper, the authors proposed a novel predictive coding-biased competition/divisive input modulation (PC/BC-DIM) neural network-based multi-sensor fusion approach, which has the capability to fuse and approximate noisy sensory information in an optimal way.

Findings
Results of low mean localization error (i.e. 1.2704 m) and computation cost (i.e. 2.2 ms) show that the proposed method performs better than existing previous techniques in such dynamic and unstructured environments.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this work provides a novel multisensory fusion approach to overcome the existing problems of non-Gaussian noise removal, higher self-localization estimation accuracy and reduced computational cost.
