The association of cultural and environmental factors with mental health among Asian immigrants
Authors: Kim Jaehyun , Mowen Andrew , Hickerson Benjamin , Graefe Alan , Bopp Melissa 
Published: August 2021

Purpose
During exposure to new cultures, immigrants face numerous life changes and challenges, which negatively affect mental health, yet environmental supports may address these concerns. This study aims to examine how neighborhood quality, acculturation and acculturative stress are associated with immigrants’ mental health.

Design/methodology/approach
The sample consisted of 511 Asian immigrants who were born in their country of origin and immigrated to the USA. Path analysis using analysis of moment structures (version 22.0) was conducted to test the hypothesized model.

Findings
The results from the path analysis indicated that perceived neighborhood quality and acculturative stress had direct effects on mental health among Asian immigrants. The study also found a significant indirect pathway to mental health where more favorable perceptions of neighborhood quality were associated with higher levels of acculturation and lower levels of acculturative stress, which, in turn, resulted in better mental health.

Originality/value
The results of the study highlight the importance of improving neighborhood quality as a means by which to facilitate cultural adjustment/adaptation to US culture and thus, improve mental health among Asian immigrants. In addition, the authors suggested considering cultural origin in designing health programs and/or policies for Asian immigrants, which could promote mental health among Asian immigrants. Based on the results of the model, this study produced insightful information and suggestions on how to improve Asian immigrants’ mental health more effectively.
Multi-objective optimization of hydro-viscous flexible drive for dynamic characteristics using genetic algorithm
Authors: Cui Jianzhong , Li Hu , Zhang Dong , Xu Yawen , Xie Fangwei 
Published: August 2021

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to investigate the flexible dynamic characteristics about hydro-viscous drive providing meaningful insights into the credible speed-regulating behavior during the soft-start.

Design/methodology/approach
A comprehensive dynamic transmission model is proposed to investigate the effects of key parameters on the dynamic characteristics. To achieve a trade-off between the transmission efficiency and time proportion of hydrodynamic and mixed lubrication, a multi-objective optimization of friction pair system by genetic algorithm is presented to obtain the optimal combination of design parameters.

Findings
Decreasing the engagement pressure or the ratio of inner and outer radius, increasing the lubricating oil viscosity or the outer radius will result in the increase of time proportion of hydrodynamic and mixed lubrication, as well as the transmission efficiency and its maximum value. After optimization, main dynamic parameters including the oil film thickness, angular velocity of the driven disk, viscous torque and total torque show remarkable flexible transmission characteristics.

Originality/value
Both the dynamic transmission model and multi-objective optimization model are established to analyze the effects of main design parameters on the dynamic characteristics of hydro-viscous flexible drive.
A cost evaluation model for IoT-enabled prefabricated construction supply chain management
Authors: Zhang Wennan , Kang Kai , Zhong Ray Y. 
Published: September 2021

PurposeThis paper proposes an evaluation model for prefabricated construction to guide a supply chain with controllable costs. Prefabricated construction is prevalent due to area limitations. Nevertheless, the development is limited by budget control and identifying the factors affecting cost. The degree of close collaboration in the supply chain is closely interconnected with cost performance that includes direct and indirect factors. This paper not only quantizes these factors but also distinguishes the degree of influence of various factors.Design/methodology/approachSystem dynamics is applied to simulate and analyze the construction cost factors through Vensim software. It can also clarify the relationship between cost and other influencing factors. The input data are collected from an Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled system under a Building Information Modeling (BIM) system and Hong Kong government reports.FindingsSimulation results indicate that prefabricated construction cost is mainly influenced by government promotion degree (GPD), working pressure from on-site construction (WPOSC), prefab quality (PQ), load-bearing capacity per vehicle (LBPV) and mold quality (MQ). However, it is more sensitive toward GPD, which indicates that the government should take measures to promote this construction technology. On-site worker management is also essential for the assembly process and indirectly influences the construction cost.Research limitations/implicationsThis paper quantifies indirect influential factors to clarify the specific features for prefabricated construction. The investigated factors are limited.Practical implicationsThe contractor can identify all factors and classify the levels of influence to make decisions under the supply chain system boundary.Social implicationsThe input data are collected from an IoT-enabled system under a BIM system and Hong Kong government reports. Thus, the relationship between construction cost influential factors can be investigated.Originality/valueThis paper quantifies indirect influencing factors and clarifies the specific features in prefabricated construction. The contractor could identify these factors to make decisions and classify the levels of influence under the supply chain system boundary.
Development of products and services in small enterprises: proposition of an artifact to discuss creative logics
Authors: De Sordi José Osvaldo , Nelson Reed Elliot , Meireles Manuel , Hashimoto Marcos 
Published: September 2021

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to make available an artifact that helps entrepreneurs and managers to recognize the diversity of creative logics centered on resources that are already available to the organization, presenting it as a tool to support the expansion of the product and service portfolio and as an alternative to Research and Development strategies, which are difficult to implement in the context of small businesses.Design/methodology/approachFollowing the precepts of the Action Design Research (ADR) method, researchers and practitioners (teachers and consultants) collaborated in the development of the artifact. Successive versions of the artifact were tested in the field: in classrooms by the teachers and in small companies by the consultants.FindingsIn addition to the artifact itself, which is available on the Internet, the lessons learned from the design process of the artifact were formalized in meta-requirements and meta-designs, in accordance with the precepts of the design theory that served as the foundation of ADR. These meta-specifications facilitate the critical analysis and evolution of the proposed artifact, in addition to the conception and proposition of new artifacts for the same class of problem.Practical implicationsThe dialogical nature of the ADR approach, with the development of the artifact through interactive cycles between design and use, based on the practitioners' experience of using it with the final beneficiaries, resulted in a functional artifact that is simple to use by those interested in discussing product and service innovation with small organizations. The artifact in the form of software is available to all at https://tentypescreation.com.Originality/valueFrom business examples and comparisons with widespread creative tactics, such as copy and invention, eight other creative tactics centered on resources available in the organization are explored by the artifact, providing means for practitioners to discuss alternative ways for managers, entrepreneurs, and future entrepreneurs to face the challenge of product and service innovation in small businesses.
Organizational members' use of online social networks and their job satisfaction: a social cognitive perspective
Authors: Olfat Mohammad , Shokouhyar Sajjad , Ahmadi Sadra , Ghaderi Seyed Mohammad Mahdi 
Published: September 2021

PurposeThis study utilized “social cognitive theory” to compare the impacts of organizational members' hedonic and work-related use of public social networks (SNs) and enterprise social networks (ESNs) on job satisfaction.Design/methodology/approachThe participants comprised 240 employees who were able to simultaneously use SNs and ESNs in the workplace with regard to both hedonic and work-related motives. The measurement and structural models were evaluated using partial least squares structural equations modeling (PLS-SEM).FindingsThe results show that organizational members' hedonic and work-related use of public SNs enhances job satisfaction. However, the hedonic and work-related use of ESNs has negative and positive impacts on job satisfaction respectively.Originality/valueThe main theoretical contribution of this study lies in showing that employees' use of social networks does not necessarily entail detrimental or beneficial consequences and depending on different factors the outcomes are different. Following a comprehensive review of the literature, users' incentives and platforms emerged as two different factors contributing to the outcomes arising from the use of social networks in the workplace. Although a few studies have explored the impacts of organizational members' use of social networks on job satisfaction, none have done so in relation to different user incentives and platforms.
Social media overload, gender differences and knowledge withholding
Authors: Wu Dongming , Zheng Junjun 
Published: September 2021

PurposeDrawing on the stress and coping theory, conservation of resources (COR) theory and social role theory, this study aims to investigate the impact of social media overload on knowledge withholding behavior and examine the gender differences in social media overload, engendering knowledge withholding.Design/methodology/approachBy hiring a professional online survey company, this study collected valid responses from 325 general social media users. The structural equation modeling (SEM) technique, bootstrapping method and multi-group analysis were used to test the proposed theoretical model.FindingsThe empirical results reveal that three types of social media overload positively affect users' knowledge withholding behavior and that emotional exhaustion significantly mediates the above relationships. The multi-group analysis demonstrates that gender differences do exist in the decision-making process of knowledge withholding; for example, females are more likely than males to become emotionally exhausted from social media overload, while males are more likely than females to engage in knowledge withholding behavior in the case of emotional exhaustion.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the existing body of knowledge by examining the relationship between social media overload and knowledge withholding, verifying the mediating role of emotional exhaustion as the key mechanism linking them, and narrowing the research gap of lacking gender differences research in knowledge withholding literature.
Helping with the pressures of the past: service-user perspectives of the sensory approaches within the National High Secure Healthcare Service for Women
Authors: Wilkinson Dawn , Beryl Rachel 
Published: September 2021

Purpose
This paper aims to explore service-user perspectives of sensory approaches introduced and promoted by the trauma and self-injury service within the National High Secure Healthcare Service for Women (NHSHSW) at Rampton Hospital.

Design/methodology/approach
This cross-sectional descriptive study used a semi-structured questionnaire, which was devised for this evaluation and included both open and closed questions. The data collected were then analysed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis.

Findings
The paper evaluates the current use of sensory approaches within the NHSHSW. Sensory approaches were widely used across the service, with essential oils being the most commonly used sensory approach. The use of sensory approaches can be understood according to the following three themes: independence, accessibility and self-regulation. The self-regulation theme contained three sub-themes as follows: safety-seeking, relaxation and reducing distress. The evaluation also highlighted barriers to using sensory approaches and sought service-user feedback as to how these may be overcome.

Practical implications
Participants’ feedback informed changes to practice, such as introducing sensory approaches to service-users earlier in their care pathway and increasing the accessibility of sensory items. These approaches may be of relevance to service provision in other forensic or inpatient settings.

Originality/value
This paper offers a unique contribution to the current literature with its focus on using sensory approaches to ameliorate trauma symptoms, in the context of a forensic setting.
Trends in US Agricultural Policy since 2000 and Implications for the Next Twenty Years
Authors: Glauber Joseph , Smith Vince 
Published: September 2021

SummaryOver the past 20 years, US agricultural policy has primarily served the interests of farm organisations whose members operate relatively large enterprises and the concerns of environmental and conservation lobbies about soil, water quality, wildlife quality and access to public lands. While maintaining the same underlying focus, over the past twenty years US agricultural policy has shifted from decoupled income support to price‐ and revenue‐based counter‐cyclical subsidy programmes, increased the coverage under a plethora of heavily subsidised agricultural insurance initiatives, and expanded the scope of conservation programmes. Further, between 2018 and 2020, there were unprecedented levels of additional spending through ad hoc measures to compensate producers for losses sustained as a result of the Trump administration’s trade wars and, more recently, losses attributed to the coronavirus pandemic. These levels of spending have been criticised as excessive relative to actual losses and likely caused the United States to violate its WTO domestic support commitments. However, US agricultural subsidy initiatives could soon involve more changes. The Biden administration wants to refocus some agricultural expenditure towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions and addressing concerns about the lack of financial support for minority groups, but probably not at the expense of funding for current programmes.

Published: September 2021

AbstractIntroductionThe covid‐19 pandemic has had a drastic impact on all medical services. Acute cholecystitis is a serious condition that accounts for a considerable percentage of general surgical acute admissions. Therefore, the Royal College of Surgeons' Commissioning guidance' recommended urgent admission to secondary care and early cholecystectomy. During the first wave of hospital admissions associated with COVID‐19, most guidelines recommended conservative treatment in order to limit the admission rates and free up spaces for COVID‐19‐infected patients. However, reviews of this approach have not been widely done to assess the results and, in turn, planning our future management approach when future pressures on in‐patient admissions are inevitable.MethodsOur study included all acute cholecystitis patients who needed surgical intervention in one Centre in the UK over three distinct periods (pre‐COVID‐19, during the first lockdown, and lockdown ease). Comparison between these groups were done regarding intraoperative and postoperative results.ResultsThe conservative management led to a high rate of readmission. Moreover, delayed cholecystectomy was associated with increased operative difficulties such as extensive adhesions, intraoperative blood loss, and/or complicated gall bladder pathologies such as perforated or gangrenous gall bladder (29.9%, 16.7%, and 24.8%, respectively). The resulting postoperative complications of surgical and nonsurgical resulted in a longer hospital stay (13.5 d).ConclusionThe crisis approach for acute cholecystitis management failed to deliver the hoped outcome. Instead, it backfired and did the exact opposite, leading to longer hospital stays and extra burden to the patient and the healthcare system.

Published: September 2021

AimTo describe the epidemiology of eye diseases among children with disability in rural Bangladesh.MethodWe established a population‐based cohort of children with disability using the key informant method. Children younger than 18 years with disability (i.e. physical, visual, hearing, speech, epilepsy) were included. We used detailed ophthalmological assessments following World Health Organization (WHO) protocols by a multidisciplinary team including an ophthalmologist, optometrist, physician, and physiotherapist. Visual impairment, blindness, and severe visual impairment (SVI) were defined by following WHO categories.ResultsBetween October 2017 and February 2018, 1274 children were assessed (43.6% female; median [interquartile range] age 9y 10mo [6y –13y 7mo]). Overall, 6.5% (n=83) had blindness/SVI, and 5.6% (n=71) had visual impairment. In the group with blindness/SVI, 47% (n=39) had cortical blindness; of those, 79.5% (n=31) had cerebral palsy (CP). The other main anatomical sites of abnormalities in this group included lens (13.3%, n=11), cornea (10.8%, n=9), and optic nerve (9.6%, n=8). In the group with visual impairment, 90.1% (n=64) had refractive error. Overall, 83.1% (n=69) and 78.8% (n=56) of those with blindness/SVI and visual impairment had avoidable causes. Most children with blindness/SVI and visual impairment lacked access to education.InterpretationThe burden of blindness/SVI/visual impairment is high among children with disability in rural Bangladesh, mostly due to avoidable causes. Overrepresentation of CP and cortical blindness in the group with blindness/SVI and refractive error in the group with visual impairment highlights the need for integration of ophthalmology assessment, eye care, and refraction services in comprehensive health care for children with disability including CP in rural Bangladesh.
Evaluating restoration outcomes: trial of a community‐based monitoring protocol
Authors: Jellinek Sacha , Haslem Angela , O’Brien Tim , Bennett Andrew F. 
Published: September 2021

SummaryRestoration planting is undertaken widely in rural landscapes to promote more sustainable land use, such as reforesting agricultural land, and to enhance nature conservation. Land managers and community groups have a key role in delivering these actions and can also contribute to monitoring the outcomes. Here, we describe a monitoring protocol developed to assist practitioners to assess the survival of plant species in restoration plantings and report results of a trial of the protocol from 123 monitored plots at 62 sites across Victoria. On average, 61% of plants per site (all species combined) survived and 77% of the species planted persisted after the first summer post‐planting. Rates of survival varied considerably among plant species, with differences in outcomes evident across bioregions. Overall, the survival of plantings (all species combined) was greater at sites with higher mean annual rainfall and where plants were protected by guards. Widespread adoption of monitoring will assist project managers to better understand how plants survive and grow, and to adaptively manage revegetation programmes under a changing climate. A co‐ordinated monitoring effort will require resources for on‐ground monitoring, as well as an online database for data storage, collation, analysis and reporting.

AbstractThis study assesses the impact of a processed microvascular tissue (PMVT) allograft on wound closure and healing in a prospective, single‐blinded, multi‐centre, randomised controlled clinical trial of 100 subjects with Wagner Grade 1 and 2 chronic neuropathic diabetic foot ulcerations. In addition to standard wound care, including standardised offloading, the treatment arm received PMVT while the control arm received a collagen alginate dressing. The primary endpoint was complete wound closure at 12 weeks. Secondary endpoints assessed on all subjects were percent wound area reduction, time to healing, and local neuropathy. Novel exploratory sub‐studies were conducted for wound area perfusion and changes in regional neuropathy. Weekly application of PMVT resulted in increased complete wound closure at 12 weeks (74% vs 38%;P = .0003), greater percent wound area reduction from weeks four through 12 (76% vs 24%;P = .009), decreased time to healing (54 days vs 64 days;P = .009), and improved local neuropathy (118% vs 11%;P = .028) compared with the control arm. Enhanced perfusion and improved regional neuropathy were demonstrated in the sub‐studies. In conclusion, this study demonstrated increased complete healing with PMVT and supports its use in treating non‐healing DFUs. The observed benefit of PMVT on the exploratory regional neuropathy and perfusion endpoints warrants further study.

Published: September 2021

ABSTRACTHyperglycemia caused by mutations in the glucokinase gene, GCK, is the most common form of monogenic diabetes. Prenatal diagnosis is important, as it impacts on treatment. This study reports a monogenic non‐invasive prenatal diagnostic (NIPD‐M) test on cell‐free DNA in maternal plasma using the relative haplotype dosage. In three pregnancies of two families with known maternal GCK mutations, the fetal genotype was determined unambiguously already at 12 weeks of gestation. In summary, proof is provided of the feasibility for NIPD‐M in GCK diabetes.
