Syd Barrett took a left turn and never came back, Andrew Voyce did. Why?
Authors: Hopkinson Patrick , Voyce Andrew , Carson Jerome 
Published: August 2021

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to compare the stories of Syd Barrett musician, with Andrew Voyce, and their respective recovery journeys.Design/methodology/approachThe authors use collaborative autoethnography to share their own perspectives on Syd Barrett and to contrast his story with that of Andrew, a co-author.FindingsBoth Syd and Andrew experienced serious mental distress. While Syd had only limited contact with mental health services, Andrew’s contact was extensive, with a 20-year history of admissions and discharges. In the end, when the psychiatric services listened to Andrew’s concerns and acted on them, he was able to enter into the journey of recovery.Research limitations/implicationsThe authors are restricted in the amount of available information on Syd Barrett, especially that related to mental health problems. The story of Andrew shows how recovery is possible even after years of serious mental illness.Practical implicationsAndrew’s story shows why professionals should never give up on people, with even the most seemingly severe and intractable problems. Could services have done more for Syd?Social implicationsMental illness still attracts huge stigma. Today there is a much more open culture. Would Syd have come out about his own struggles with mental health had society been more open?Originality/valueBringing together two stories of mental distress enables the authors to explore the concept of recovery.
Publisher’s distribution channel selection of print books in a book supply chain with print and e-books
Authors: Zeng Yuwen , Hou Wenhua 
Published: August 2021

Purpose
This paper aims to exam the publisher’s online distribution strategies of print books between a reselling and a marketplace channel with the coexistence of e-book. This study extends the study of channel selection to the content products industry.

Design/methodology/approach
By constructing a publisher-leader Stackelberg game model, the authors investigate the publisher’s distribution strategies. The retailer holds a digital channel for e-book and reselling and marketplace channels for print books. The authors examine three-channel modes for the print book distribution: a pure reselling channel, a marketplace channel and a hybrid channel.

Findings
The results reveal that a hybrid channel always dominates a pure marketplace channel from the publisher’s perspective. Then, only when the print book’s margin cost and the marketplace’s slotting fee are not very high, the publisher prefers the hybrid to a pure reselling channel. The authors also found a Pareto zone where the hybrid channel mode improves publisher’s and retailer’s profits. Furthermore, the publisher is less likely to choose the hybrid channel as the acceptance of e-book increases. The authors also examine the situation where a publisher-authorized third-party distributor runs the marketplace channel and found the results still hold.

Originality/value
This paper fills a theoretical and practical gap for a structured analysis of the content providers’ online distribution channel selection of the physical products and digital products. Different from previous related studies, this study focuses on analyzing physical products’ channel strategies and finds physical products’ cost plays a crucial role in the content provider’s channel decision.
Sponsor ownership and IPO initial return: evidence from Pakistan stock exchange
Authors: Mehmood Waqas , Mohd-Rashid Rasidah , Ahmad Abd Halim , Amin Saqib 
Published: August 2021

Purpose
The purpose of this paper was to examine whether or not the sponsor lock-up ratio, lock-up period, regulation changes and interaction variable (oversubscription [OSR]) affected initial public offering (IPO) initial return.

Design/methodology/approach
A complete sample of 111 listed IPOs in Pakistan stock exchange from 1996 to 2018 was incorporated. Based on the cross-section data, this paper estimated using ordinary least square and quantile least square for robustness. In addition to that, this paper estimated the data using stepwise least square to inspect the signalling aspect of the lock-up ratio, lock-up period and regulation changes on IPO initial return.

Findings
This study showed that the lock-up ratio, lock-up period and regulatory changes had a positive impact on the IPO’s initial return. Furthermore, the assertion of interaction variable (regulation changes × OSR) and (lock-up period × OSR) was a negatively significant factor in influencing the IPO’s initial return. The results of this paper were robust to endogeneity bias.

Practical implications
The finding of this study proposed that sponsors of IPOs can be a strong signal of risk or quality, which was consistent with the signalling theory prediction. Concurrently, investors must be aware of the total proportions of lock-up ratio so that they can estimate the chances of getting the highest initial return on IPOs. From the regulators’ point of view, it is suggested that the lock-up ratio and the lock-up period should be determined with a deeper understanding and incorporated into the equity guidelines as it is evident that these factors are priced by the market.

Originality/value
Studies on the effect of sponsors have always been centred on well-recognized firms. Therefore, using the IPO samples listed in Pakistan, this paper contributes to the IPO literature by investigating the lock-up ratio of the sponsor, the lock-up period and the regulatory changes to the initial IPO return. Additionally, OSR has been introduced as an interaction variable among the sponsors’ lock-up period and regulations changes to explain the ongoing IPO initial return phenomenon.
Pedagogy for its own sake: teacher’s beliefs about activity-based learning in rural government schools of Kashmir
Authors: Dar Wahid Ahmad 
Published: August 2021

Purpose
This paper aims to explore the contextual problems and priorities that create tensions in the implementation of activity-based learning reforms such as learning enhancement through active pedagogy in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K). By doing so, it aims to understand the relevance of activity-based learning (ABL) in diverse contexts as perceived by stakeholders.

Design/methodology/approach
Using qualitative data drawn from semi-structured interviews with 29 teachers, this study uses an anthropological approach to policy implementation to unleash factors creating a disjunction between policy text and policy practice.

Findings
Narratives from teachers reveal how critical awareness about context raises tensions and shapes beliefs about ABL. Their beliefs about ABL can be summed as “pedagogy for its own sake”, reflecting the perceived ineptness of ABL in bringing about considerable improvements in students learning outcomes. Reference to “outcomes” was invoked as a crucial recontextualising discourse in teacher’s pedagogic orientation which resulted primarily from the poor learning attainments of rural children in the prevalent outcome-focussed educational setup.

Research limitations/implications
The study is the first of its kind conducted in J&K and amongst very few around the world elucidating tension around the implementation of pedagogic reforms in underserved areas. This is the only study providing a critical analysis of pedagogic reforms in the school education system in J&K.

Practical implications
The study has significant implications in terms of helping immediate functionaries such as headmasters, teacher trainers and administrators and policy planners in understanding the dilemmas faced by teachers in enacting pedagogic reforms. It also adds to the field of policy implementation in terms of understanding the tensions of policy implementation at peripheries.

Originality/value
The study is the first of its kind conducted in J&K and amongst very few around the world elucidating tension around the implementation of pedagogic reforms in underserved areas. This is the only study providing a critical analysis of the school education system in J&K.
Growth through repositioning – the case of IHCL
Authors: Menon Shobha 
Published: August 2021

Theoretical basis
This case highlights repositioning strategies that change a product’s position in the minds of the consumer in response to changes in market conditions. These changes should be balanced with a certain amount of brand authenticity and continuity. Brand identity is the vision, core values and key beliefs of the brand. There are four main branding strategies as follows: house of brands, endorsed brands, sub-brands and branded house. These options can be placed in a continuum and the position on the branding relationship spectrum reflects the degree to which brands are separated in strategy execution and in the customer’s minds.

Research methodology
This case is based on secondary data, mainly from interviews of industry leaders in business journals, newspapers, research articles and industry reports, including from international organizations.

Case overview/synopsis
The case examines the frequent revisions in branding strategies by India’s second largest group of hotels – Indian Hotels Company Limited. Repositioning involves changing the market’s perceptions of an offering to compete more effectively in its target segments. However, a certain amount of continuity is also essential to the brand’s development over time. The case helps students to view the brand from two angles as follows: the angle of brand identity and the disruptive angle of new developments. They will examine the rationale for the frequent repositioning strategies using the brand relationship spectrum and whether these will affect the brand identity of the iconic brand Taj.

Complexity academic level
This case has been effectively used with MBA Marketing students in Product and Brand Management and Services Marketing classes to demonstrate how companies use repositioning strategies as a considered response to the market conditions. As competitive conditions and consumers evolve, changes in branding strategy will be necessitated. The students are expected to have basic knowledge of brand architecture and brand strategies. The case can be used to illustrate the brand relationship spectrum and the differences among branding strategies in brand architecture.

Women, Civility and the Language of Politics: Realities and Representations
Authors: Cameron Deborah 
Published: August 2021

AbstractThis article draws on research which analyses both the actual speech of women in political and public settings and the way their speech is represented in media reports and other commentary. It argues that there is a disconnect between reality and representation, and that the effect is to place a particular burden on women. Women are judged in relation to the belief that they will civilise public discourse thanks to their ‘naturally’ less adversarial speech style, and when they deviate from this stereotype they are liable to attract punitive responses. The idea(l) of civility is thus a double‐edged sword: while it may be invoked to deplore the abuse to which women in public life are subjected, it can also be deployed to police or discredit women's own public speech. A feminist politics of civility must pay attention to both these manifestations of sexism.

Authors: Johansson K , Wikström A‐K , Söderling J , Näslund I , Ottosson J , Neovius M , Stephansson O 
Published: August 2021

ObjectiveTo investigate whether gastric bypass before pregnancy is associated with reduced risk of pre‐eclampsia.DesignNationwide matched cohort study.SettingSwedish national health care.PopulationA total of 843 667 singleton pregnancies without pre‐pregnancy hypertension were identified in the Swedish Medical Birth Register between 2007 and 2014, of which 2930 had a history of gastric bypass and a pre‐surgery weight available from the Scandinavian Obesity Surgery Registry. Two matched control groups (pre‐surgery and early‐pregnancy body mass index [BMI]) were propensity score matched separately for nulliparous and parous births, to post‐gastric bypass pregnancies (npre‐surgery‐BMI = 2634:2634/nearly‐pregnancy‐BMI = 2766:2766) on pre‐surgery/early‐pregnancy BMI, diabetes status (pre‐surgery/pre‐conception), maternal age, early‐pregnancy smoking status, educational level, height, country of birth, delivery year and history of pre‐eclampsia.Main outcome measuresPre‐eclampsia categorised into any, preterm onset (<37+0 weeks) and term onset (≥37+0 weeks).ResultsIn post‐gastric bypass pregnancies, mean pre‐surgery BMI was 42.9 kg/m2 and mean BMI loss between surgery and early pregnancy was 14.0 kg/m2 (39 kg). Post‐gastric bypass pregnancies had lower risk of pre‐eclampsia compared with pre‐surgery BMI‐matched controls (1.7 versus 9.7 per 100 pregnancies; hazard ratio [HR] 0.21, 95% CI 0.15–0.28) and early‐pregnancy BMI‐matched controls (1.9 versus 5.0 per 100 pregnancies; HR 0.44, 95% CI 0.33–0.60). Although relative risks for pre‐eclampsia for post‐gastric bypass pregnancies versus pre‐surgery matched controls was similar, absolute risk differences (RD) were significantly greater for nulliparous women (RD −13.6 per 100 pregnancies, 95% CI −16.1 to −11.2) versus parous women (RD −4.4 per 100 pregnancies, 95% CI −5.7 to −3.1).ConclusionWe found that gastric bypass was associated with lower risk of pre‐eclampsia, with the largest absolute risk reduction among nulliparous women.Tweetable abstractIn this large study including two comparison groups matched for pre‐surgery or early‐pregnancy BMI, gastric bypass was associated with lower risk of pre‐eclampsia.
Factors associated with accurate reporting of public and private health insurance type
Authors: Call Kathleen Thiede , Fertig Angela R. , Pascale Joanne 
Published: August 2021

AbstractObjectiveTo examine factors associated with accurate reporting of private and public health insurance coverage.Data sourcesMinnesota health plan enrollment records provided the sample for the Comparing Health Insurance Measurement Error (CHIME) study, a survey conducted in 2015 that randomly assigned enrollees to treatments that included health insurance questions from the American Community Survey (ACS) or the redesigned Current Population Survey Annual Social and Economic Supplement (CPS).Study designReverse record check study that compared CHIME study survey responses to enrollment records of coverage type (direct purchase on and off the Marketplace, Medicaid, or MinnesotaCare), service use, subsidy receipt, and duration of coverage from a major insurer.Data collection methodsUsing matched enrollment and CHIME survey data and logistic regression, we examined correlates of accurate insurance type reporting, including characteristics of the insurance coverage, the covered individual, respondent, and family.Principal findingsReporting accuracy across treatment and coverage type is high (77%–84%). As with past research, accurate reporting of public insurance is higher for people with characteristics consistent with eligibility for public insurance for both survey treatments. For the ACS treatment, reports of direct purchase insurance are more accurate for enrollees who receive a premium subsidy.ConclusionsGiven the complexity of health insurance measurement and frequently changing policy environment, differences in reporting accuracy across treatments or coverage types are not surprising. Several results have important implications for data editing and modeling routines. First, adding premium and subsidy questions in federal surveys should prove useful given the finding that subsidy receipt is associated with reporting accuracy. Second, across both survey treatments, people whose opportunity structures (race, ethnicity, and income) match public program eligibility are accurate reporters of this coverage. This evidence supports using these commonly collected demographic variables in simulation, imputation, and editing routines.
Ascorbic Acid to Prevent Postpolypectomy Bleeding in the Colon: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Vahdat Shariatpanahi Zahra , Shahbazi Shaahin , Shahbazi Erfan 
Published: August 2021

AbstractIntroductionIt has been reported that vitamin C replacement can quickly reverse nonspecific bleeding in surgical patients with normal coagulation parameters. We evaluated the effect of intravenous ascorbic acid administration for prevention of postpolypectomy bleeding in large polyps of the colon.Materials and MethodsPatients with large polyps with heads larger than 10 mm, stalk diameter larger than 5 mm, and a length larger than 10 mm were included in this randomized controlled clinical trial. In the study group, the first 500 mg intravenous dose of vitamin C diluted in normal saline was administered 2 h before colonoscopic resection of polyps and the second and third similar doses were administered on days 2 and 3 of polypectomy, respectively. The control group received normal saline in a similar fashion. The resection of polyps was performed in snare and cut‐blend mode. Early and late postoperative bleeding were compared between the two groups.ResultsA total of 153 polyps were resected by endoscopic polypectomy. Early bleeding was observed in 7.2% of the patients, which was significantly lower in the vitamin C group (2.6% vs 11.8%, P = 0.03). Late bleeding was observed in 6.5% of the patients with a trend lower in the vitamin C group (2.6% vs 10.5%, P = 0.057). The proportion of postprocedural bleeding was significantly higher in the vitamin C group (5% vs 20%, P = 0.007). Hazard ratios of early and postprocedural bleeding were 78% and 76% lower in the vitamin C group compared to the control group (P < 0.05).ConclusionIntravenous ascorbic acid infusion could reduce postpolypectomy bleeding.
The effects of glucagon‐like peptide (GLP)‐1 receptor agonists on weight and glycaemic control in Prader–Willi syndrome: A systematic review

Published: August 2021

AbstractObjectiveThe mainstay management of hyperphagia and obesity in Prader–Willi syndrome (PWS) relies on dietary restrictions, strict supervision and behavioural modifications, which can be stressful for the patient and caregiver. There is no established pharmacological strategy to manage this aspect of PWS. Theoretically, glucagon‐like peptide‐1 (GLP‐1) receptor agonists (GLP1‐RA) used in patients with obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) may be efficacious in weight and glycaemic control of PWS patients. We conducted a systematic review of the literature to summarize the evidence on the use of GLP1‐RA in PWS patients.DesignPrimary studies were searched in major databases using key concepts ‘Prader–Willi syndrome’ and ‘GLP1 receptor agonist’ and outcomes, ‘weight control OR glycaemic control OR appetite regulation’.ResultsTen studies included, summarizing GLP1‐RA use in 23 PWS patients (age, 13–37 years), who had used either exenatide (n = 14) or liraglutide (n = 9) over a duration of 14 weeks to 4 years. Sixteen (70%) of these patients had T2DM. Ten patients experienced improvement in body mass index, ranging from 1.5 to 16.0 kg/m2, while improvement in HbA1c was seen in 19 of 23 cases, ranging between 0.3% and 7.5%. All five studies reporting appetite or satiety showed improvement in satiety levels. There were no reported serious side effects.ConclusionsGLP1‐RA appears safe in PWS patients and may have potential benefits for weight, glycaemic and appetite control. Nonetheless, we also highlight a significant gap in the literature on the lack of well‐designed studies in this area, which limits the recommendation of GLP1‐RA use in PWS patients at present.
Sex differences in social odor discrimination by southern giant pouched rats (Cricetomys ansorgei)
Authors: Freeman Angela R. , Ophir Alexander G. 
Published: August 2021

AbstractRodents are known to signal using odors to communicate information including their sex, age, reproductive state, and unique identity. Conspecifics can recognize these signals and behaviorally respond in sex‐specific ways. However, we know little about how males and females might differ in their responses to signals from individuals or how the sexes might differ in their ability to recognize their own identity. Such signals of identity are important because they can modulate the behavior of receivers, and allow for responses related to aggression, territory maintenance, affiliation, and reproduction. To assess how males and females might differ in their responses to individual familiar and novel social signals, and their own individual signals compared to novel same‐sex conspecifics, we tested southern giant pouched rats (Cricetomys ansorgei) using a habituation–discrimination paradigm. Only females showed individual recognition and discriminated among males, preferring novel males. Females also discriminated between their own scent and a novel conspecific odor. Males did not discriminate or demonstrate individual recognition. Male and female differences in response to opposite‐sex odors demonstrated that males do not discriminate between familiar and novel reproductively available females, but females discriminate and prefer to investigate novel males.
Understanding the evolution of fiscal performance of Indian states
Authors: Akram Vaseem , Rath Badri Narayan 
Published: August 2021

AbstractThis study investigates the fiscal performance of 21 Indian states for the period 1980–81 to 2017–18. To do so, this study first applies a widely used multidimensional composite index. Second, this study implements data envelopment analysis (DEA) to assess the fiscal performance. The findings reveal that among Indian states, Odisha achieves the first rank and is found to be the best fiscal performing state in recent years. On the contrary, our results indicate that Punjab is the least performing state during 2015–16 to 2017–18. From the policy perspective, least performing states should get more attention from the central government and can adopt the policies of other best performing states, which may improve their fiscal performance.
