Do values reflect what is important? Exploring the nexus between work values, work engagement and job burnout
Authors: Dahiya Rinki , Raghuvanshi Juhi 
Published: October 2021

Purpose
Work values are a representation of people’s priorities as they reflect what is pertinent for them and what they want to accomplish. In light of this, the purpose of this study is to understand the priorities given to work values (extrinsic and intrinsic) by employees and also to explore whether these work values vary with the levels of work engagement and job burnout.

Design/methodology/approach
The study was based on the survey responses of 386 officers working in Indian manufacturing organisations engaged in different areas.

Findings
The findings reveal that security officers give much priority to extrinsic work values than intrinsic work values (IWVs). Moreover, IWVs vary with different levels of work engagement along with job burnout. The security officers belonging to the engaged group differ significantly with those belonging to the job burnout group in terms of IWVs. Moreover, work values also have a negative correlation with job burnout and a positive correlation with work engagement.

Originality/value
This study explores the variation in work values of security officers working in Indian manufacturing organisations with changes in levels of job burnout and work engagement, which is a novel contribution in the field. The findings also advocate that it is crucial for human resource managers, supervisors and key people in organisations to find out employees showing early signs of job burnout (exhaustion or disengagement) or early stages of strain and frustration as the priorities of work values of the employees are affected by these parameters. Such identified employees should be provided with required managerial support and necessary work resources immediately.
Patient organizations supporting health care and co-creating value: insights from a simulation model
Authors: Costanza Francesca 
Published: October 2021

Purpose
Patient organizations (POs) belong to the non-profit world and carry on several activities alongside health care. However, literature devotes scarce attention to POs’ management specificities in the interaction with health-care delivery. This paper aims to describe the contribution of POs to health care from an operational point of view; investigate the effect of POs’ managerial choices on health-care performance; and provide useful insights for patient organizations and health-care management.

Design/methodology/approach
The paper combines qualitative case study research and system dynamics (SD). After a literature review about patient organizations’ role, modeling steps are described. In first place, the analyses of institutional documents, interviews and observations are condensed in a stock-and-flow diagram. The latter is translated into a set of differential equations to simulate the effect of alternative resource allocations.

Findings
The case study emphasizes PO’s educational and administrative role in supporting health-care delivery. Simulated policy scenarios, while confirming the positive contribution of patient co-created health, disclose potential divergencies in public and private/third sector decision-making, to be read considering key feedback mechanisms within the system.

Originality/value
This study proposes a holistic view of patient organizations’ engagement in health care. The findings highlight synergies and trade-offs of alternative managerial decisions involving POs and health-care providers, disclosing the benefits of joint resource planning.
How do banks’ capital regulation and risk-taking respond to COVID-19? Empirical insights of ownership structure
Authors: Moudud-Ul-Huq Syed , Ahmed Kawsar , Chowdhury Mohammad Ashraful Ferdous , M. Sohail Hafiz , Biswas Tanmay , Abbas Faisal 
Published: October 2021

Purpose
This study aims to investigate the relationship between capital regulation and risk-taking behavior (financial stability) concerning the impacts of the recent global (COVID-19) crisis and diverse ownership structure.

Design/methodology/approach
The analysis uses an unbalanced panel data set from 32 commercial banks of Bangladesh for 2000–2020. The authors use the two-step system generalized method of moments and three-stage least squares to produce the study outcomes.

Findings
The robust results reveal that the relationship between capital regulation and risk (financial stability) is negative (positive) and bi-directional. More significantly, COVID-19 makes banks fragile and demands more capital to absorb risk. However, the effect of COVID-19 is heterogeneous when the authors consider ownership structure. Among the diverse ownership styles, Islamic and active shareholding show their controlling wheel on capital regulation and risk-taking aptitude (financial stability) during the global (COVID-19) crisis. In normal economic conditions, private banks and minority active shareholding can be a good determinant for capital regulation and risk (financial stability). On the other hand, state-owned and large banks have been found as less capitalized and highly risky.

Originality/value
This study is the pioneer in exploring capital regulation and risk toward the recent global (COVID-19) crisis.
Does mosque location matter? Mosque and Islamic shops in the European context
Authors: El Boujjoufi Mohamed , Mustafa Ahmed , Teller Jacques 
Published: October 2021

Purpose
Mosques influence the surrounding neighborhoods’ demographic patterns and motivate investors to establish new businesses and commercial activities. This study aims to explore the impact of the mosque on the emergence of new businesses. Furthermore, this study examines the demography of neighborhoods in which mosques are located.

Design/methodology/approach
This study opts for an exploratory study using a retrospective analysis approach to explore the mosque’s impact on the social and functional aspects of neighborhoods. The emerging shops around mosques in the city of Liège (Belgium) are analyzed using a logistic regression model. The criterion for the location of Islamic shops was cross-referenced with other variables, such as distance from the center, proximity to supermarkets and shopping malls, distance from the mosque, socio-economic variables (immigration, income nationalities, etc.) and bus accessibility data. Several zones around mosques, ranging from 100 to 1000 m, are established to examine the correlation between types of businesses and distance to the mosque. Five types of businesses are identified: regular trade, light semi-regular trade, heavy semi-regular trade, Horeca and services. Islamic shops are identified based on on-site observations and interviews and classified by type.

Findings
The results show that mosques significantly impact the establishment of new businesses in the surrounding urban space (especially Islamic shops). In terms of the types of Islamic shops surrounding the mosques, this study found a strong presence of “Horeca” (cafes, restaurants and snack bars), and “light semi-regular trade” (mainly personal care).

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is one of the few studies that fulfill the need to understand the role of the mosque location in European cities, focusing on its impact on Islamic shops.

AbstractIn a context of rising violence and long‐lasting impunity, in 2008, Mexico's criminal justice system underwent a radical change from an inquisitorial model to an adversarial one, to make it more effective, transparent, and expeditious. The new system tasked judges with publicly determining the admissibility of forensic evidence, as well as assessing its technical quality and probative value—tasks for which they currently receive little to no training. With the aim of contributing to the consolidation of the adversarial model, a comparative framework—in the form of a checklist—of the analysis of fingerprints, DNA samples, and voice recordings was created. To do so, a review of the academic literature, published reports, and guidelines was performed. The collected data were synthesized and submitted to a panel of Mexican judges, who provided feedback on its adequacy. The framework focuses on the steps on which quality assurance of forensic evidence depends, organized in five discrete stages that span from the collection of samples at the scene of a crime to the presentation of evidence at trial, specifying the main technical criteria experts should state to allow a decision maker to examine its accuracy and reliability. Differences and commonalities among the three methods were identified, particularly in terms of how qualitative and quantitative analyses are performed in each. Besides its potential usefulness as an aid for judicial decision‐making, the checklist could be a valuable resource for training programs aimed at judges, as well as quality assurance programs.
Estimating dispersal using close kin dyads: The kindisperse R package
Authors: Jasper Moshe E. , Hoffmann Ary A. , Schmidt Thomas L. 
Published: October 2021

AbstractInvestigating dispersal in animal populations can be difficult, particularly for taxa that are hard to directly observe such as those that are small or rare. A promising solution may come from new approaches that use genome‐wide sequence data to detect close kin dyads and estimate dispersal parameters from the distribution of these dyads. These methods have so far only been applied to mosquito populations. However, they should have broad applicability to a range of taxa, although no assessment has yet been made on their performance under different dispersal conditions and study designs. Here we develop an R package and shiny app, kindisperse, that can be used to estimate dispersal parameters from the spatial distribution of close kin. kindisperse can handle study designs that target different life stages and allows for a range of dispersal kernel shapes and organismal life histories; we provide implementation examples for a vertebrate (Antechinus) and an invertebrate (Aedes). We use simulations run in kindisperse to compare the performance of two published close kin methodologies, showing that one method produces unbiased estimates whereas the other produces downward‐biased estimates. We also use kindisperse simulations to investigate how study design affects dispersal estimates, and we provide guidelines for the size and shape of sample sites as well as the number of close kin needed for accurate estimates. kindisperse is easily adaptable for application to a variety of research contexts ranging from invasive pests to threatened species where noninvasive DNA sampling can be used to detect close kin.
Of Market Vendors and Waste Collectors: Labour, Informality, and Aesthetics in the Era of World‐Class City Making
Authors: Luthra Aman , Monteith William 
Published: October 2021

AbstractA growing literature demonstrates the significance of aesthetics within processes of world‐class city making, as decisions about who gets to live and work in the city are increasingly made on the basis of codes of appearance. However, less attention has been paid to how such codes are (re)produced and (re)directed by informal workers and their organisations in everyday practice. Drawing upon a multisided ethnography in Kampala and Delhi, this paper explores the ways in which market vendors and waste collectors have responded to the proliferation of three aesthetic technologies: the identity card, the uniform, and the code of conduct. We show that workers have appropriated these technologies in creative ways in order to defend their livelihoods against the threat of displacement. However, this act of appropriation has come at the cost of the exclusion of the more vulnerable workers, who now find their activities policed not only by the state but also by a range of non‐state organisations. These findings contribute to debates on labour organisation and world‐class city making by demonstrating the ways in which aesthetic rationalities emerge through an encounter with the tactics of everyday life.

Published: October 2021

AbstractThe aim of this study was to develop prediction equations for methane (CH4) emissions from lactating cows using the CH4/carbon dioxide (CO2) ratio in the breath measured in the automatic milking system (AMS) and to evaluate the predicted values and factors affecting the CH4/CO2 ratio. The model development was conducted using a dataset determined in respiration chambers or head boxes (n = 121). Then, gas measurements in the AMS as well as in the head box were carried out with six lactating cows fed one of three different levels of neutral detergent fiber (NDF) content, following a 3 × 3 Latin square experimental design. The obtained equation that is suitable for practical use on farms to predict CH4 was CH4 (L/day) = −507 + 0.536 live weight (kg) + 8.76 energy‐corrected milk (kg/day) + 5,029 CH4/CO2 (adjusted R2 = 0.83; root mean square error = 40.8 L/day). Results showed that the predicted values correlated positively with the observed values, the determined CH4/CO2 ratio increased with increasing dietary NDF content, and the detected eructation rate was in the normal range. On the other hand, the CH4/CO2 ratio was affected by the time interval between measurement and last eating before the measurement.

Published: October 2021

AbstractSince the first studies of the nervous system by the Nobel laureates Camillo Golgi and Santiago Ramon y Cajal using simple dyes and conventional light microscopes, microscopy has come a long way to the most recent techniques that make it possible to perform images in live cells and animals in health and disease. Many pathological conditions of the central nervous system have already been linked to inflammatory responses. In this scenario, several available markers and techniques can help imaging and unveil the neuroinflammatory process. Moreover, microscopy imaging techniques have become even more necessary to validate the large quantity of data generated in the era of ‘omics’. This review aims to highlight how to assess neuroinflammation by using microscopy as a tool to provide specific details about the cell's architecture during neuroinflammatory conditions. First, we describe specific markers that have been used in light microscopy studies and that are widely applied to unravel and describe neuroinflammatory mechanisms in distinct conditions. Then, we discuss some important methodologies that facilitate the imaging of these markers, such as immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence techniques. Emphasis will be given to studies using two-photon microscopy, an approach that revolutionized the real-time assessment of neuroinflammatory processes. Finally, some studies integrating omics with microscopy will be presented. The fusion of these techniques is developing, but the high amount of data generated from these applications will certainly improve comprehension of the molecular mechanisms involved in neuroinflammation.

Published: October 2021

SummaryBackground and objectivesWe aimed to determine the risk of complications during cutaneous surgery for the perioperative discontinuation in comparison to the continuation of antithrombotic agents and the bridging of vitamin K antagonists with heparin in comparison to their continuation.MethodsWe conducted a systematic review, searching three databases for eligible studies. Methods followed the Cochrane Handbook. We used RoB 2 and ROBINS‐I to assess risk of bias. The quality of evidence was judged (GRADE). Fixed‐effect meta‐analyses were performed.ResultsTwo randomized‐controlled trials and 19 prospective cohort studies were included. It is uncertain whether, compared to its discontinuation, continuing acetylsalicylic acid (risk difference (RD) 0.004, 95 % confidence interval (CI) –0.003 to 0.019) perioperatively increases the risk of significant postoperative bleedings (SPB). Compared to its discontinuation, continuing phenprocoumon perioperatively may increase the risk of SPB (RD 0.02, 95 % CI 0.00 to 0.05). Bridging phenprocoumon with heparin perioperatively may increase the risk of SPB when compared to its continuation (RD 0.07, 95 % CI 0.01 to 0.22). No evidence was found regarding bleeding risks for direct oral anticoagulants.ConclusionsNo clear indications of major risks of bleedings when continuing antithrombotic agents during minor skin surgeries were identified. However, the quality of evidence was very low.

AimThis study aims to clarify the construct and criterion‐related validity of the Questionnaire for Older Senior Citizens (QO) during the COVID‐19 pandemic.MethodsThis cross‐sectional study was conducted in Japan between November 11, 2020 and January 10, 2021. Of the 1645 (63.5%) older adults who responded, data from 900 participants were analyzed. First, we conducted an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) among older‐older adults (aged ≥75 years) and extracted the factors. Next, we conducted a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) using structural equation modeling. We also conducted this analysis among younger‐older adults (aged ≥65 and <75 years) using the same model. Moreover, we compared each item of the QO with frailty status.ResultsResults of the EFA revealed six factors: social conditions and lifestyle, subjective conditions, cognitive functions, physical activity, oral functions, and physical functions. The results of the CFA were as follows: comparative fit index (CFI) = 0.971, adjusted goodness of fit index (AGFI) = 0.978, root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) = 0.018, and standardized root mean square residual (SRMR) = 0.030. The results among the younger‐older adults were as follows: CFI = 0.880, AGFI = 0.940, RMSEA = 0.037, and SRMR = 0.048. Many QO items were significantly associated with frailty (P < 0.05).ConclusionsAmong the older‐older adults group, the model used for the QO has sufficient suitability and construct validity; among the younger‐older adults group, there also is sufficient questionnaire suitability. Moreover, the QO has criterion related validity with frailty. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2021; 21: 1018–1025.

AbstractIntroductionCoronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) caused by SARS‐CoV2 can present from mild flu‐like symptoms to acute respiratory distress syndrome. There is multi‐organ involvement; particularly, hematopoietic system can be associated with morphological changes in blood cells of COVID‐19 patients.MethodWe conducted a cross‐sectional study on a cohort of 50 COVID‐19 patients, confirmed on RT‐PCR with documented cycle threshold (Ct) value. Peripheral blood sample of these patients was collected and examined for complete blood counts (CBC) on automated haematological analyser as well as Leishman‐stained blood smears to look for morphological changes in blood cells. Morphological changes were evaluated with reference to clinical severity and Ct value. Additionally, association between Ct value and clinical severity was also performed. Statistical tests were performed, and P value <.05 was considered significant.ResultsMean age of our study group was 42.16 ± 15.55 years, with male preponderance. Most commonly observed peripheral blood changes were hypolobation (P value = .002) and toxic granules (P value = .005) in neutrophils, atypical granules with nucleolar prominence in lymphocytes, cytoplasmic granulation with clumped nuclear chromatin in monocytes, giant platelets and thrombocytopenia and normocytic normochromic anaemia.ConclusionNo association was found between clinical severity and Ct value as well as peripheral blood morphological changes with Ct value. We conclude that examination of peripheral smear coupled with complete blood count (CBC) is only partially supportive of disease pathogenesis and to assess the viral load other parameters should be utilised instead of relying solely on Ct value.

Published: October 2021

AbstractIn recent years, rare earth ions doped optical materials have been extensively utilized in anticounterfeiting, temperature measurement, and other fields. However, it is difficult for single‐mode photoluminescence to meet the increasingly complex anticounterfeiting needs in practice. In this article, Yb3+/Er3+ codoped Y2WO6 multifunctional microparticles have been designed and prepared, which can emit multimode luminescence and are used for anticounterfeiting and temperature measurement. Under excitation at 254, 365, and 980 nm, Y2WO6:Yb3+/Er3+ microparticles can emit blue, green, and yellow‐green luminescence, respectively. The multicolor emission is helpful to improve the security of anticounterfeiting in multimode. In addition, the upconversion, downconversion luminescence, and downconversion lifetime attenuation of this material can be used for fast responsive and noncontact temperature measurement. Among the three temperature measurement methods, the material has the highest sensitivity under the downconversion temperature measurement method, which is 1.25 × 10–2 K–1 (at 303 K). The results suggest that the Y2WO6:Yb3+/Er3+ microparticles have excellent applications in the domain of multimode anticounterfeiting and temperature measurement.
