Influence of stakeholders' perception on value creation and measurement: the case of football clubs
Authors: Perechuda Igor , Čater Tomaž 
Published: December 2021

PurposeThe presented study aims to identify and classify the value factors that influence the value of football clubs from the stakeholder perspective, while also discussing how these factors can affect the choice of valuation methods. The paper considers how value should be measured from the perspective of stakeholders. Research focuses on clubs embedded deeply in a wide interrelated network of stakeholders.Design/methodology/approachA mixed research approach was established in order to obtain a more holistic understanding of value creation, value factors and measurement. The research builds on observational study with a mix of retrospective longitudinal study of Polish men's football clubs and interviews with stakeholders, which are then triangulated as part of a critical discussion on valuation methods.FindingsThe results show the most significant value factors determined by the stakeholders. The study discusses which performance and value measures should be used to measure value for the stakeholders of football clubs. Intellectual capital methods and asset-based methods should definitely be relied on as part of measuring the performance of football clubs within the stakeholders' network. All findings suggest the use of the multivariate valuation method in accordance with previous research.Originality/valueThe classified key value factors enable the management of football clubs to properly manage stakeholder relationships and address various stakeholders' concerns in a sustainable way. The paper proposes a research process, which may also be implemented in other studies in the non-profit sector and contributes to the literature in the fields of sports management.
Short‐selling pressure and year‐over‐year MD&A modifications
Authors: Maharjan Johan , Lee Seung Won 
Published: December 2021

AbstractUsing the SEC's Regulation SHO as a natural experiment, we examine the effect of an increase in short selling pressure on the year‐over‐year modification of management discussion and analysis (MD&A) section of firms' 10‐K reports. We find that the elevated threat of short selling, resulting from the removal of short‐sale constraint, causes the randomly selected pilot firms to modify the MD&A section less relative to the previous year than non‐pilot firms during the Regulation SHO period (2005–2007). Moreover, cross‐sectional analyses indicate that this effect is pronounced in firms with moderately good news; firms that increase investment or equity issuance; larger or overvalued firms; and firms with conservative managers, financial stability, and opaque information environments.
Fears and freedoms: A qualitative analysis of older adults’ basic psychological needs for autonomy, competence, relatedness and beneficence

Published: December 2021

AbstractObjectivesSelf‐determination theory posits three universal psychological needs: autonomy, competence and relatedness. Beneficence has recently been proposed as an important behaviour for improved well‐being and eudaimonia. This study sought to qualitatively examine older adults’ experiences of basic psychological needs satisfaction and frustration.MethodsThree separate and simultaneous national online focus groups were undertaken over four consecutive days. Older Australians (n =103) explored home and community life. Themes were identified using reflexive thematic analysis.ResultsOlder adults are challenged in satisfying their psychological needs, especially around the time ‐ and after‐ they retire and as mobility decreases. Beneficence emerged as important for well‐being, congruent with evidence that beneficence influences well‐being beyond basic psychological need fulfilment.ConclusionsSatisfactions and frustration may manifest differently for older adults than for other groups. Thus, their experiences may not adequately be captured by self‐report measures. Novel themes of ‘fears and freedoms’ were identified in the study. Fear pertained to the loss of autonomy and the freedom to spend time as one wishes.

Mild encephalopathy with a reversible splenial lesion syndrome (MERS) is a rare clinico‐radiological entity. Rituximab (RTX)‐induced MERS has never been described before. Herein, we report the case of a 33‐year‐old patient diagnosed since 2017, with an IgG4‐related disease (IgG4‐RD). This diagnosis was retained in the face of a prolonged fever, sicca syndrome, hepatic damage and renal pseudotumour associated to a high level of IGg4 at 2.8 g/L with suggestive renal histology. The patient was treated with corticosteroid therapy with persistence of renal impairment and nephrotic syndrome indicating RTX therapy. The patient received his first dose of RTX and presented neurological and respiratory impairments a few hours afterwards. An infectious investigation comprising a SARS CoV‐2 PCR and viral PCRs (VZV, herpes and CMV) on cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) were negative. The HBV, HCV, HIV, Parvo B19, CMV, EBV, herpes, mycoplasma and syphilis serologies as well as Legionella antigenuria were also negative. The patient had received intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG) and methylprednisone, associated with sodium valproate with favourable outcome. The diagnosis of MERS induced by RTX was retained in our patient according to clinical and radiological features. We herein report the first case of MERS following RTX in a patient treated for IgG4‐RD.

AbstractPrevious studies on perceptual grouping found that people can use spatiotemporal and featural information to group spatially separated rigid objects into a unit while tracking moving objects. However, few studies have tested the role of objects’ self‐motion information in perceptual grouping, although it is of great significance to the motion perception in the three‐dimensional space. In natural environments, objects always move in translation and rotation at the same time. The self‐rotation of the objects seriously destroys objects’ rigidity and topology, creates conflicting movement signals and results in crowding effects. Thus, this study sought to examine the specific role played by self‐rotation information on grouping spatially separated non‐rigid objects through a modified multiple object tracking (MOT) paradigm with self‐rotating objects. Experiment 1 found that people could use self‐rotation information to group spatially separated non‐rigid objects, even though this information was deleterious for attentive tracking and irrelevant to the task requirements, and people seemed to use it strategically rather than automatically. Experiment 2 provided stronger evidence that this grouping advantage did come from the self‐rotation per se rather than surface‐level cues arising from self‐rotation (e.g. similar 2D motion signals and common shapes). Experiment 3 changed the stimuli to more natural 3D cubes to strengthen the impression of self‐rotation and again found that self‐rotation improved grouping. Finally, Experiment 4 demonstrated that grouping by self‐rotation and grouping by changing shape were statistically comparable but additive, suggesting that they were two different sources of the object information. Thus, grouping by self‐rotation mainly benefited from the perceptual differences in motion flow fields rather than in deformation. Overall, this study is the first attempt to identify self‐motion as a new feature that people can use to group objects in dynamic scenes and shed light on debates about what entities/units we group and what kinds of information about a target we process while tracking objects.

Published: December 2021

BackgroundEducating children and young people (CYP) from marginalized communities about environmental crises poses a unique dilemma as educators strive to prepare them to deal with the climate crisis without compounding the stressors and fear of an unlivable future many already face. We explored how place‐based civic science (PBCS) can provide opportunities to engage youth in environmental understanding and action through teamwork in which youth feel that they belong to a group larger than themselves and gain a sense of hope from working with others toward shared goals. We argue that combining PCBS pedagogies of collective action and collaborative learning spaces can help to buffer against distress as CYP grapple with global environmental crises.MethodsWe drew from qualitative responses (student reflections and public presentations) of 486 6–12th graders (majority students of color) on what they learned from participating in PBCS projects. Projects involved egalitarian partnerships between adults from environmental organizations, teachers and student teams studying and acting together to mitigate problems and presenting their efforts in public venues.ResultsStudents’ qualitative responses revealed an identification with their team and its goal forged through the work, respect for their voice, belief in their capacity and confidence to take collective action and even enjoyment of working together to address community concerns.ConclusionsPBCS through collective learning/action in student teams and nonhierarchical intergenerational partnerships, and connections that CYP forge with organizations in the broader community, can help to build CYP’s agency and efficacy while addressing “emotionally heavy” issues such as climate change.

AbstractBackgroundThe Japanese baseline series (JBS), established in 1994, was updated in 2008 and 2015. The JBS 2015 is a modification of the thin‐layer rapid‐use epicutaneous (TRUE) test (SmartPractice Denmark, Hillerød, Denmark). No nationwide studies concerning the TRUE test have previously been reported.ObjectivesTo determine the prevalence of sensitizations to JBS 2015 allergens from 2015 to 2018.MethodsWe investigated JBS 2015 patch test results using the web‐registered Skin Safety Care Information Network (SSCI‐Net) from April 2015 to March 2019.ResultsPatch test results of 5865 patients were registered from 63 facilities. The five allergens with the highest positivity rates were gold sodium thiosulfate (GST; 25.7%), nickel sulfate (24.5%), urushiol (9.1%), p‐phenylenediamine (PPD; 8.9%), and cobalt chloride (8.4%). The five allergens with the lowest positivity rates were mercaptobenzothiazole (0.8%), formaldehyde (0.9%), paraben mix (1.1%), mercapto mix (1.1%), and PPD black rubber mix (1.4%).ConclusionsNickel sulfate and GST had the highest positivity rates. The JBS 2015, including a modified TRUE test, is suitable for baseline series patch testing.

Published: December 2021

AbstractAimTo assess the pattern of biotic regions (BR) and their boundaries, to detect chorotypes and to relate these patterns to key environmental factors.LocationEastern Atlantic Ocean.Time periodRecent.Taxon studiedBivalvia.MethodsDistributions were scored for 595 species. Operational geographical units are classified hierarchically using Baroni‐Urbani & Buser similarity index, clusters were assessed for statistical significance with the ‘RMacoqui 1.0’ software using G tests of independence, and chorotypes were inferred likewise from similarity between species distributions.ResultsThree strong biotic boundaries delimit four BR: (1) European Atlantic and Mediterranean; (2) West African, from western Sahara to southern Angola; (3) Baia dos Tigres/Namibia; and (4) Saint Helena/Ascension. The West African BR is subdivided by two weak boundaries into three subordinate BR: the tropical region proper, the north‐western African transition zone and the cluster (southern Angola/São Tomé/Cape Verde Islands). Of the 429 species present in West Africa, 261 (60.7%) are endemic, and 19 genera (7.2%) are endemic. Sixteen chorotypes were identified; the European BR is correlated with chorotypes C5 (149 species mostly European and Mediterranean) and C3 (38 species mostly in northern Europe), whereas the West African BR is mainly characterized by chorotype C6 (221 species). Some discontinuous distribution patterns of tropical West African species were identified as chorotypes, but subordinate to chorotype C6. The West African BR is mainly characterized by sea surface temperature and chlorophyll; characterization without the islands also involved the extensive sandy coast. The north‐western African transition region is characterized by an arid climate and few rivers and influenced by seasonal upwelling. The cluster of southern Angola, Sao Tomé and Cape Verdes contrasts with the remainder of West Africa in having a predominantly rocky shore.Main conclusionsThe present analyses provide an objective regionalization based on species occurrences, which supports the traditional recognition of West Africa as a major biotic region with a high level of endemism. Attention is called on that the unique endemic component is insufficiently represented in current marine protected areas.

AimTo report neurological examination findings at 5 to 12 months of age in infants with congenital heart disease (CHD) and to identify predictors of abnormal neurological examination.MethodThis retrospective observational study included infants who required cardiac surgery at less than 3 months of age and underwent a standard neurological examination from a neurologist in the cardiac neurodevelopmental outpatient clinic between age 5 months and 12 months. Predictors for abnormal neurological examination (concerns on structured developmental history, demographic factors, medical history, and newborn neurodevelopmental assessment) were considered for multivariate regression.ResultsThe sample included 127 infants (mean age 7mo 2wks), who underwent first cardiac surgery at 7 days (4–49 interquartile range [IQR]) of age and were seen for a neurological examination in the cardiac neurodevelopmental clinic. Neurological abnormalities were common; 88% of infants had an abnormal neurological examination in at least one domain assessed. The most common abnormalities were abnormal axial (48%) and extremity (44%) tone, mostly hypotonia. Abnormal neurological examination was associated with concerns on the concurrent structured developmental history, genetic condition, extracardiac anomaly, longer length of stay, more than one cardiac surgery, ongoing early intervention services, and abnormalities on newborn neurodevelopmental assessment.InterpretationNeurological examination abnormalities are common in infants with CHD after infant heart surgery, supporting the need for early and ongoing therapeutic developmental services and adherence to American Heart Association recommendations for developmental follow‐up for children with CHD.
What this paper adds

Neurological examination abnormalities are common in infants who undergo open‐heart surgery.

Medical complications in infancy increase risk for neurological abnormalities.

Family‐reported concerns on structured developmental history may predict abnormal neurological examination at 5 to 12 months of age.

Abnormal newborn neurodevelopmental assessment may predict abnormal neurological examination at 5 to 12 months of age.

AbstractIntroductionIn endodontic education, there is a need for thorough training prior to students embarking on clinical treatment. The aim of this study was to use three‐dimensional printing technology to create a new model and to compare its suitability for training purposes with resin blocks and extracted teeth.Materials and MethodsMulti‐jet‐modelling (MJM) produced the 3D model replicating a common difficulty in root‐canal morphology. An evaluation study comprising 88 students was run in the sixth semester (summer 2018 and winter 2018/2019). A new questionnaire assessed students’ perception of training models and educational environment. Welch's t‐test analysed significant differences.ResultsThe most pronounced differences between models were noted when rating material hardness, radiopacity, root‐canal configuration and suitability for practising. Students estimated their learning outcome as greater with 3D‐printed teeth compared to resin blocks. Three‐dimensionally printed teeth received significantly lower ratings with regard to enthusiasm, the learning of fine motor skills and spatial awareness, when compared to human teeth (p ≤ .001). However, 3D‐printed teeth were appreciated for additional benefits, such as their cleanliness, availability and standardisation of training opportunities with complex root‐canal configurations.ConclusionStudents preferred extracted human teeth to 3D‐printed teeth with respect to their physical characteristics and training experience. However, educational advantages may compensate for the shortcomings. The new questionnaire proved both adequate and accurate to assess the models and educational environment in endodontic training. The new 3D‐printed teeth enhanced the learning opportunities.

AbstractHospitalized patients with COVID‐19 infection frequently have coagulopathy resembling disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). An elevation of D‐dimer level is associated with a poor prognosis; however, the role of other fibrin degradation products, such as soluble fibrin monomers (SFMC), is not known.The objective of the study was to investigate the frequency and prognostic role of elevated SFMC in patients with COVID‐19. In this retrospective cohort study, patients hospitalized between April 1, 2020 and December 14, 2020 at Mayo Clinic with COVID‐19 infection who underwent DIC panel testing were identified. Results of laboratory tests and outcomes (thrombosis and death) within 40 days of testing were obtained via medical record review.Of 108 patients, D‐dimer was elevated in 82 (75.9%) patients. Of those with elevated D‐dimer, SFMC was elevated in 19/82 (23%) patients. There were 16 thrombotic events and 16 deaths during the 40‐day follow‐up. The incidence of overt‐DIC was 4.6%. In univariate analysis, D‐dimer ≥5 x highest upper limit normal (ULN) and elevated SFMC were each associated with higher 40‐day mortality. However, when used in combination with D‐dimer ≥5 x highest ULN, an elevated SFMC provided no further mortality predictive value.Compared to 75.9% of patients with elevated D‐dimers, of those tested, only 23% had elevated SFMC. These results support the hypothesis that elevated D‐dimer in COVID‐19 infection is a direct consequence of endothelial damage and not overt‐DIC.

SummaryGlobally, floodplain and riparian forests are rapidly declining ecosystems due to anthropogenic influences coupled with a changing climate. In the Murray‐Darling Basin, Australia, little is known about the demographic structural status and recruitment of floodplain and riparian tree species. The aim of this study is to provide a baseline assessment of the current demographic structure of the ecosystem‐defining tree species: River Red Gum (Eucalyptus camaldulensis), Coolibah (Eucalyptus coolabah), Black Box (Eucalyptus largiflorens) and River Cooba (Acacia stenophylla) within the basin in Queensland. Tree size data were collected from 131 plots of 0.25 ha located along major waterways and the abundance of individuals at the seedling, young tree, mature and senescent life cycle stages was determined. The diameter size distribution for the four species approximated a negative exponential distribution (reverse J‐curve). Low tree abundance in the < 10‐cm diameter class in all the species relative to the reverse J‐curve suggested low recruitment and possible early evidence of a decline in the sustainability of the populations according to the Law of de Liocourt. This low abundance of young trees was more pronounced in Black Box and extended to the < 20‐cm diameter class, but this species was not well replicated, and more data are required. In addition, the low abundance of recruitment trees occurred concurrently with the observed below average rainfall and erratic rainfall distribution in the last two decades relative to long‐term totals. These results suggest a need for management interventions to foster seedling recruitment such as grazing management and tree planting programmes to ensure species establishment and survival along basin waterways.

SummaryScientific, tourism and non‐government organisations collaborated to design and undertake a small‐scale coral outplanting intervention at Fitzroy Island, the Great Barrier Reef (GBR), Cairns, Australia. Activities were implemented to assist recovery of a reef showing signs of reduced coral cover after recent coral bleaching and to trial potential for implementation of work of this kind by community members. In December 2017, 240 coral fragments were collected and deployed on mid‐water coral nursery infrastructure. Ten months later, 96 corals (˜15 cm) were outplanted onto bare sections of the surrounding reef rock at depths of 2–8 m. Monitoring was undertaken to measure changes in coral cover at treatment and control locations to determine the potential of using coral outplanting intervention to assist the recovery of degraded reefs. We found no significant difference in live coral cover between controls and treatment over a 12‐month period. Although statistically insignificant, we observed an increase in live coral cover in treatment plots (9.8%) and control plots (2.2%), indicating natural recovery processes occurring across the reef. Total number of fish species and abundance increased significantly over time. Although the outplanting may not have been needed in this case, as a pilot project and the first coral nursery and active reef restoration project in the GBR Marine Park, the research provided valuable lessons associated with project collaboration and planning, site selection, monitoring and natural recovery vs restoration.
