The impact of healthy workplaces on employee satisfaction, productivity and costs
Authors: Voordt Theo van der , Jensen Per Anker 
Published: November 2021

PurposeThis paper aims to explore the added value of healthy workplaces for employees and organizations, in particular regarding employee satisfaction, labour productivity and facility cost.Design/methodology/approachThe paper is based on a narrative review of journal papers and other sources covering the fields of building research, corporate real estate management, facilities management, environmental psychology and ergonomics.FindingsThe review supports the assumption of positive impacts of appropriate building characteristics on health, satisfaction and productivity. Correlations between these impacts are still underexposed. Data on cost and economic benefits of healthy workplace characteristics is limited, and mainly regard reduced sickness absence. The discussed papers indicate that investing in healthy work environments is cost-effective.Originality/valueThe findings contribute to a better understanding of the complex relationships between physical characteristics of the environment and health, satisfaction, productivity and costs. These insights can be used to assess work environments on these topics, and to identify appropriate interventions in value-adding management of buildings and facilities.

Published: November 2021

Purpose
This study aims to analyze the exemplary historic case of Ms Viola Turner – an African-American insurance executive in the early 1900s to gain insights into how individuals negotiate the tension between intersecting identities and moral foundational values over time.

Design/methodology/approach
This study uses a mixed research design and a genealogical-pragmatic approach to analyze this exemplary case. This study uses computer-aided textual analysis software to analyze interviews conducted with Ms Turner, generating quantitative insights. This study qualitatively codes the interviews to aid in establishing the behavioral patterns across Ms Turner’s lifespan.

Findings
This study found that Ms Turner altered her underlying configurations of moral foundations to better align with her intersecting identities. This study also revealed cross-level interactions of intersecting identities, life stages and social contexts. Individuals manage and cope with power imbalances through these identity-value alignments.

Originality/value
The findings shed light on how intersectional history contributes to understanding the ways in which individuals deal with power relationships embedded in intersecting identities over time.
In-store interactive advertising screens: the effect of interactivity on impulse buying explained by self-agency

Published: November 2021

PurposePhysical stores are increasingly dependent on impulse visits and the impulse purchases of passers-by. Interactive advertising screens in store windows could help retailers increase impulse-visit urges and impulse-buying urges. However, the effects of interactive screens in physical surroundings have not been studied before. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the effect of interactive screens on impulse urges and gain insight into the underlying mechanism that explains the possible effect.Design/methodology/approachAn interactive screen was placed in a store window. Using three field experiments, we studied the effect of interactivity-level (high vs low) on the impulse-visit and impulse-buying urges of passers-by, and the mediating role of self-agency in these effects.FindingsHighly interactive (compared to less interactive) advertising screens in store windows positively affect impulse-visit and impulse-buying urges through self-agency. Retailers can therefore use interactive advertising screens to increase the number of impulse purchases if feelings of self-agency are activated.Originality/valueThis is the first study to examine the extent to which interactive screens in a store window enhance the impulse-visit and impulse-buying urges of passers-by and the mediating factor of these effects. By conducting three field experiments, we achieved a high external validity and managed to share very reliable results owing to the replication of the findings.
Local governance of critical infrastructure resilience: Types of coordination in German cities
Authors: Knodt Michèle , Fraune Cornelia , Engel Alice 
Published: November 2021

AbstractThe resilience of critical infrastructures in cities is key to being prepared for future crises. The challenge of enhancing critical infrastructure resilience addresses a multitude of actors. However, we lack conceptual, as well as empirical, understanding of how these different actors are coordinated. Therefore, this contribution asks how the different actors involved in critical infrastructure governance are coordinated at the local level. With the help of a typology of network governance coordination (political leadership, mutual exchange, and positive coordination), we look at the critical infrastructure crisis management in major German cities based on survey data with the scenario of a long‐lasting, supraregional power outage. The results show that political leadership coordination, as a unilateral and information‐based way of addressing public and private actors, is the dominant type. Only a quarter of the cities have chosen measures of mutual exchange coordination based on the consultation in an ad hoc manner. Measures of positive coordination where institutionalized joint planning is central are taken up only by a minority of German cities. Assuming that positive coordination is particularly important in dealing with unexpected events, positive coordination emerges as the missing piece of the resilience puzzle for many German cities.
Warning behaviors and leaked intent: Potential new avenues to prevent mass shootings
Authors: Freitas Corina , Annas George David 
Published: November 2021

AbstractOn March 12, 2018, John Laubscher, owner of AJ’s Archery in Nelson, NY, had a gut feeling and refused to sell a rifle to a Syracuse University student—disrupting a mass shooting (https://www.syracuse.com/crime/2018/04/how_gun_shop_owner_thwarted_on_the_edge_su_student_from_buying_high‐capacity_rif.html. Accessed 10 Nov 2021). Prompted by this, we surveyed the opinions, beliefs, attitudes, and current practices of gun sellers in Onondaga County, NY, in regard to safe gun sales. The primary outcome was to determine which types of “concerning behaviors” are more likely to cause a seller to intervene in some manner. Secondary outcomes included the following: ascertaining the frequency of denials of customer purchases, frequency of reporting to law enforcement, and identifying any gaps that make it difficult for gun sellers to report behaviors to the authorities. Follow‐up interviews were conducted with those who were willing to speak with the authors in more depth. A response rate of 12.9% was achieved. Sixty‐two percent (62.5%) of respondents had some experience in uniformed services, with specialized training in mental or emotional crises, as well as deception detection. The majority found the training helpful in their gun selling career. Reasons for personal denials were reported as: “interest in illegal fittings,” “information revealed during conversation,” and “lack of basic knowledge of using the firearm looking to purchase.” Two respondents stated that due to a lack of a “reporting protocol,” they would not report any concerns to law enforcement. The study helps inform future research in regard to surveying more sellers across NY state and nationwide.

AbstractSpecies classification is an important task which is the foundation of industrial, commercial, ecological and scientific applications involving the study of species distributions, dynamics and evolution.While conventional approaches for this task use off‐the‐shelf machine learning (ML) methods such as existing Convolutional Neural Network (ConvNet) architectures, there is an opportunity to inform the ConvNet architecture using our knowledge of biological hierarchies among taxonomic classes.In this work, we propose a new approach for species classification termed hierarchy‐guided neural network (HGNN), which infuses hierarchical taxonomic information into the neural network's training to guide the structure and relationships among the extracted features. We perform extensive experiments on an illustrative use‐case of classifying fish species to demonstrate thatHGNNoutperforms conventional ConvNet models in terms of classification accuracy, especially under scarce training data conditions.We also observe thatHGNNshows better resilience to adversarial occlusions, when some of the most informative patch regions of the image are intentionally blocked and their effect on classification accuracy is studied.

Published: November 2021

AbstractChildren with erythropoietic porphyria are generally under the care of paediatric dermatologists. When these children undergo major surgery, they are at risk of unusual complications due to their photosensitivity. Dermatologists may be consulted prior to surgery for advice. We describe a case of a child with erythropoietic porphyria undergoing open heart surgery, utilising an exchange transfusion alongside other strategies to minimise the risk of photosensitivity‐induced haemolysis.

AbstractBackgroundA paucity of evidence exists regarding risks and benefits of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in adult liver transplantation.MethodsThis was a systematic review conducted from January 1, 2000 to April 24, 2020 of adult liver transplant recipients (pre‐ or post‐transplant) and donors who underwent Veno‐arterial or Veno‐venous ECMO cannulation. Death was the primary outcome, with graft function and complications as secondary outcomes.ResultsForty‐one articles were identified that fit criteria. A total of 183 donors were placed on ECMO, with recipient complication profiles and mortality that mirrored rates from standard criteria donors. Sixty‐one recipients were placed on ECMO intraoperatively or postoperatively. Most patients experienced at least one complication with infections as the most common cause and minimal complications specifically related to ECMO use. Multisystem organ failure (MSOF) and infections were more common among liver recipients who died compared to those who survived. Overall mortality at 90 days was 45.9%. Causes of death were most commonly MSOF and infections.ConclusionsECMO use in adult liver transplantation is a useful adjunct. Recipient morbidity and mortality from donors placed on ECMO parallel that of recipients from standard criteria donors, and morbidity and mortality of recipients placed on ECMO are similar to other ECMO populations.
To take or not take? Examination of the status quo process for issuing take authorizations of endangered Cook Inlet beluga whales and implications for their recovery
Authors: Migura Mandy , Bollini Celeste 
Published: November 2021

AbstractEndangered Cook Inlet beluga whales' (CIBWs; Delphinapterus leucas) abundance has declined nearly 80% since the 1970s, and continues to decline 2.3% annually with less than 300 whales remaining. Despite the Marine Mammal Protection Act and the Endangered Species Act prohibiting take of protected species, exceptions allow the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) to authorize take of CIBWs. Harassment, a type of take, has the potential to hinder CIBWs' recovery by contributing to the threat of cumulative effects. Recovery action 62 in the 2016 CIBW Recovery Plan recommends NMFS reassess its current project‐by‐project approach for authorizing harassment takes to determine whether a comprehensive approach is more effective at reducing cumulative effects. To start this assessment, we compiled data from publicly available documents about CIBW research and incidental take authorizations effective since publication of the Recovery Plan, identified the amount of legal harassment NMFS authorized annually, and examined whether a relationship exists between total annual take authorizations and the population size. By the end of 2020, NMFS authorized nearly 120,000 takes of CIBWs cumulatively for 2017–2025. In 2020 alone, 22,350 takes were authorized, equating to 8371% of the estimated population size; research takes accounted for 99.4% of the total authorizations; and 50% of the population was authorized to be incidentally harassed. We found strong evidence of an inverse relationship between total takes authorized annually and the population size. Our results provide support for NMFS immediately implementing action 62 to take a critical look at the existing process for authorizing takes and its potential impacts to CIBW recovery. Several recommendations are provided for improving the take authorization process to help reduce the potential for cumulative effects and improve transparency of take data. To our knowledge, this is the first assessment of cumulative levels of take authorizations of CIBWs at this scale.

Published: November 2021

AbstractObjectiveWe determined retention on open‐label cenobamate therapy in the clinical development program to assess the long‐term efficacy and tolerability of adjunctive cenobamate in individuals with uncontrolled focal seizures.MethodsData from two randomized, controlled cenobamate studies and one open‐label safety and pharmacokinetic study were pooled. Based on the percentage of participants remaining on treatment, retention rates were estimated using Kaplan‐Meier survival analyses. We performed two additional analyses to assess factors contributing to retention, stratifying a robust data set (through 2 years) by cenobamate modal dose and frequently used concomitant anti‐seizure medications. Cenobamate discontinuations and treatment‐emergent adverse events were summarized.ResultsData from 1844 participants were pooled: 149 from a single‐dose randomized trial, 355 from a multi‐dose randomized trial, and 1340 from an open‐label safety and pharmacokinetic study. Most participants from randomized trials continued in open‐label extensions, and pooled data represent >95% of participants exposed to cenobamate. Baseline characteristics and disease and treatment histories were similar across studies. Median duration of cenobamate exposure was 34 months, with a median modal dose of 200 mg/day. Kaplan‐Meier estimates of cumulative cenobamate retention rates were 80% at 1 year and 72% at 2 years. Once participants reached the maintenance phase, retention rates were consistently high in participants receiving ≥100 mg/day cenobamate, and concomitant anti‐seizure medications did not affect long‐term retention. By 2 years, 535 (29%) had actually discontinued cenobamate; the most common reasons for discontinuation were adverse events (37.6%), withdrawal of consent (21.1%), and other (16.8%).SignificanceTreatment retention rates provide a proxy measure for long‐term efficacy, safety, tolerability, and adherence. The consistently high retention rates we found suggest that cenobamate may be an effective and well‐tolerated new treatment option for people with drug‐resistant focal seizures.
Golden sine cosine SALP swarm algorithm for shape matching using atomic potential function

Published: November 2021

AbstractSalp swarm algorithm (SSA) is one of the efficient recent meta‐heuristic optimization algorithms, where it has been successfully utilized in a wide range of optimization problems in different fields. In the research process, it is found that it is very difficult to maintain the balance between the exploration and exploitation capabilities of a certain algorithm. Therefore, one of the main purposes of this article is to provide an algorithm that can intelligently balance between exploration and exploitation, so that it can balance exploration and exploitation capabilities. Later, in the research process, it was found that the sine and cosine function and the salp foraging trajectory have a high mathematical similarity, which greatly improves the optimization ability of the algorithm. In addition, the variable neighbourhood strategy can appropriately expand the optimization range of the algorithm. So in this paper, a novel golden sine cosine salp swarm algorithm with variable neighbourhood search scheme (GSCSSA‐VNS) is proposed, the another objective of proposing this algorithm is as a new optimization method for shape matching. As a relatively new branch, atomic potential matching (APM) model is inspired by potential field attractions. Compared to the conventional edge potential function (EPF) model, APM has been verified to be less sensitive to intricate backgrounds in the test image and far more cost effective in the computation process. Experimental results of four realistic examples show that GSCSSA‐VNS is able to provide very competitive results and outperforms the other algorithms.
Enhancing foreign language motivation through the magic of cooperative learning: Dream or reality?
Authors: Fakhri Alamdari Ebrahim , Ghani Fariborz 
Published: November 2021

AbstractMotivation, a major contributor to the acquisition of language skills, can be promoted consciously through principled methods. This study investigated the impact of cooperative learning (CL) on foreign language (FL) learners' motivation in Iran. Both quantitative and qualitative measures were applied to pursue the aims of this study. The participants were 180 male and female intermediate FL learners in three groups. The Experimental Group 1 (N = 60) received two CL techniques: Student Teams‐Achievement Division and Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition (CIRC). The participants in Experimental Group 2 (N = 60) received Round‐Table and Think–Pair–Share techniques. The participants in the Control Group (N = 60) were taught the same materials conventionally without any CL strategies. The Language Learning Orientations Scale (LLOS‐IEA) was used before and after the intervention to track changes in FL learners' motivation. The results indicated that the integration of CL techniques into FL classrooms had a significant impact on FL learners' motivation in both experimental groups. The post‐hoc Tukey's Test also depicted no statistically significant difference between the two experimental groups after the intervention. The results of Kruskal‐Wallis test comparing the three groups in subscales of LLOS also revealed that all subscales—amotivation, intrinsic (Knowledge, Accomplishment, and Stimulation) and extrinsic (External Regulation, Introjected Regulation, and Identified Regulation) motivation—were statistically significant. In addition, the analysis of the qualitative data revealed some cultural and contextual constraints associated with Iranian context.

Published: November 2021

AbstractBackgroundThe immediate microtensile bond strength (µTBS) of self‐etch (SE) adhesives to primary dentine is promising, but evidence about the durability is scarce.AimTo assess the long‐term µTBS of SE adhesives to primary dentine and to examine the effect of 7‐s etching on µTBS of a 3‐step etch‐and‐rinse (ER) adhesive.DesignThe enamel of 115 caries‐free human primary teeth was ground flat, and bonding was performed according to group assignment: G‐aenial™ Bond/GC [GB], Clearfil™ SE Bond/Kuraray [CS], OptiBond™ XTR/Kerr [OX], Scotchbond™ Universal/3M™ [SU], Prime&Bond® NT™/Dentsply [PB], and OptiBond™ FL/Kerr [OF]. After storage (24 h, 6 mos., 12 mos.), 1,762 beams were cut for µTBS testing. Fracture analysis was performed using light/fluorescence microscopy. Resin‐dentine interfaces were exemplarily analyzed using SEM.ResultsAfter 24 h, OX and SU showed significantly higher estimated mean µTBS than GB, which exhibited the lowest µTBS at all stages (p < .05). μTBS within each adhesive group showed slight variations over time (p > .05). OF_SE produced acceptable µTBS. Etching increased the mean immediate µTBS for OF (p > .05) and the percentage of cohesive fractures.ConclusionsSE adhesives achieved durable μTBS to primary dentine. 7‐s etching may improve the immediate µTBS of a 3‐step ER adhesive.
New regulation of medical devices in the EU: impact in dermatology
Authors: Malvehy J. , Ginsberg R. , Sampietro‐Colom L. , Ficapal J. , Combalia M. , Svedenhag P. 
Published: November 2021

AbstractMedical device (MD) is a broad term that encompasses products ranging from, for example, examination gloves to digital dermoscopy systems; all of which are regulated by a new regulatory framework in the EU from May 2021. The new Medical Device Regulation (MDR) (Regulation EU 2017/745) will have a significant effect on suppliers of MD and will have subsequent effects also for dermatologists and other clinicians. Medical device software and apps are reclassified leading to more stringent requirements on documentation within, e.g. clinical evidence, as well as regulatory authority control. The changes will likely have positive effects on quality, to the benefit of patients. There will, however, be implications affecting the availability and support of existing devices and the introduction of new devices, as well as a likely price increase due to the higher costs for suppliers. Dermatologists, other clinicians and administrators need to be aware of the effects of MDR to ensure that existing devices and new purchases can be used as planned. Specifically, clinicians need to be aware of the following: (i) improved quality of MD and follow‐up of incidents can be expected. (ii) Only ‘non‐significant’ updates will be permitted after May 2021 to many existing systems and devices unless approved under the new MDR. (iii) Existing devices that do not achieve approval under the new regulation will no longer be manufactured after May 2024. (iv) New products and methods will take longer time to be approved and available. (v) Prices will likely increase. (vi) Suppliers of products that do not fulfil the new regulation will disappear, and the availability of consumables, spare parts or upgrades might be discontinued. (vii) A trend to oligopoly may appear in the market. It is therefore important to check with your suppliers as to how and when they will adhere to the new MDR regulation.
