Can student managed investment funds (SMIFs) narrow the environmental, social and governance (ESG) skills gap?
Authors: Oldford Erin , Willcott Neal , Kennie Tanner 
Published: August 2021

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is twofold. First, it endeavors to document the current state of environmental, social and governance (ESG) pedagogy within undergraduate finance courses of business schools, and second, it seeks to show how business schools can leverage student managed investment funds (SMIFs) to swiftly integrate ESG pedagogy.Design/methodology/approachThe study is comprised of two sections that use different methodologies. The first part of the study involves a manual content analysis of undergraduate finance course textbooks, and related instructor materials are used to estimate the average coverage of ESG-related topics. Next, a case study of a SMIF that has recently integrated an ESG framework is provided to illustrate how this pedagogical innovation is effective in teaching ESG skills.FindingsThe findings of the content analysis of the three most commonly used textbooks in a sample of 17 Canadian universities, as well as associated instructor material, provide evidence that the primary emphasis in traditional curriculum remains on the shareholder, with little attention paid to ESG factors. The case study of an existing SMIF clearly demonstrates how a student-led development of an ESG framework provides the setting for effective, experiential learning.Originality/valueThis study shows that while traditional teaching settings, like lectures, may be slow to adapt to the rapidly changing needs of industry, nontraditional teaching venues, such as SMIFs, can be leveraged to meet industry demand for ESG skills, thereby closing the skills gap, enhancing student employability and increasing the relevance of business school education.
An interdisciplinary approach for tacit knowledge communication between the designer and the computer
Authors: Hossam Eldin Hala , Bakir Ramy , El-Fiki Sherif 
Published: August 2021

PurposeThis research investigates the means of tacit knowledge (TK) communication between the designer and the computer in architectural design. Despite the integration of state-of-the-art computational technologies in different design phases, this integration happens within a limited scope, focusing mainly on tangible aspects of the design process, such as technical systems and visual representations. This lets architectural design miss the wider scope technology provides, where it can help in developing the computational design process through incorporating new intangible knowledge domains that were usually neglected, such as tacit knowledge, and through incorporating more design entities that were not included in the design process before.Design/methodology/approachThe study conducts an interdisciplinary analytical review of the literature to achieve two main research goals. The first goal investigates TK communication between human beings and the second understands approaches of TK communication between humans and computers. For each goal, three phases were implemented; an initial research phase, where main keywords are identified, a sampling and selection of literature phase and an analysis of literature phase.FindingsThrough interlinking findings from different disciplines, the study presents a theoretical framework for TK communication. The framework provides architects with an approach to construct and transfer TK while using the computer in a computational design environment, presenting an individual and a social set of conditions and factors revealed from the review of the analyzed literature. The framework particularly emphasizes the significance of a human–computer symbiotic relationship for the process of TK communication to take place.Originality/valueThis paper presents a novel interdisciplinary reading into the literature of fields beyond architectural design, incorporating intangible knowledge domains into the computational design process and expanding the capabilities of computational design tools to allow for the transfer of intangible design attributes between different design entities, particularly tacit design knowledge.
Choosing informal ways to acquire land
Authors: Ige Victor Olutope , Gbadegesin Job Taiwo 
Published: August 2021

PurposeThis paper examines why some sets of people choose an informal way to acquire land. It also examines challenges and drivers within indigenous communities in South-western Nigeria. Policy recommendations were proposed for formalization. What precisely are the contextual reasons that can be established empirically for the prevailing extra-legal practices in the developing land market? What are the challenges, and how can the informal land market be graduated into the formal system?Design/methodology/approachIt begins with identifying the contextual features, drivers and challenges of the informal land market through a combination of literature synthesis and a pilot survey. Subsequently, copies of questionnaires were developed, tested and distributed to the critical actors in the informal land market. Lastly, a structured interview was conducted to elicit possible solutions from key actors (both formal and informal stakeholders). Data were analyzed using descriptive, inferential statistics and computer-aided qualitative data analysis software (CAQDAS, Atlas. ti).FindingsThe absence of administrative bureaucracy was the predominant characteristic of the informal urban land market, while household income is the strongest predictor of the informal land market drivers. Informal documentation of transactions is also one of the most severe challenges in the informal urban land market. Consensus between statutory and customary institutions and other 15 governance-related recommendations is proposed to confirm informality to formality.Originality/valueThe paper's outcome will provide a rational guide to landowners, land administrators and other stakeholders on relevant information needed to develop a viable and healthy urban and rural land market.
So you want to work in sports? An exploratory study of sport business employability
Authors: Finch David J. , O'Reilly Norm , Legg David , Levallet Nadège , Fody Emma 
Published: August 2021

Purpose
As an industry, sport business (SB) has seen significant growth since the early 2000s. Concurrently, the number of postsecondary sport management programs has also expanded dramatically. However, there remain concerns about whether these programs are meeting the demands of both employers and graduates. To address these concerns, this study examines the credential and competency demands of the SB labor market in the United States.

Design/methodology/approach
Researchers conducted an analysis using a broad sample of employment postings (N = 613) for SB positions from two different years, 2008 and 2018.

Findings
Results support that a complex set of SB qualifications exist, and the credentials and competencies included in SB employment postings have evolved over the past decade.

Originality/value
A noteworthy finding is that meta-skills are found to be particularly important for employability, including items such as communication, emotional intelligence and analytical thinking and adaptability.

Published: August 2021

PurposeThe aims of this study are to (1) evaluate physicians and nurses' perspectives on patient safety culture amid the COVID-19 pandemic and (2) integrate the emotional exhaustion of physicians and nurses into an evaluation of patient safety culture to provide insights into appropriate implications for medical care.Design/methodology/approachPatient safety culture was assessed with the Chinese version of the Safety Attitudes Questionnaire. Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to validate the structure of the data (i.e. reliability and validity), and Pearson's correlation analysis was performed to identify relationships between safety-related dimensions.FindingsSafety climate was strongly associated with working conditions and teamwork climate. In addition, working conditions was highly correlated with perceptions of management and job satisfaction, respectively. It is worth noting that the stress and emotional exhaustion of the physicians and nurses during this epidemic were high and needed attention.Practical implicationsFor healthcare managers and practitioners, team-building activities, power of public opinions, IoT-focused service, and Employee Assistance Programs are important implications for inspiring the patient safety-oriented culture during the period of the COVID-19 pandemic.Originality/valueThis paper considers the role of emotional state into patient safety instrument, a much less understood but equally important dimension in the field of patient safety.
Petrogenesis and Tectonic Implications of A‐type Granites in Zhaheba in the East Junggar Region of Xinjiang, China: Evidence from Geochronology, Geochemistry and Sr‐Nd Isotopic Compositions

Published: August 2021

AbstractThe magma source, petrogenesis, tectonic setting and geochronology of the late Paleozoic A‐type granites widely exposed in the Zhaheba area, East Junggar, have thus far not been well‐constrained. A better understanding of these issues will help to reveal the magmatic processes and continental growth of Central Asia. The A‐type granites in Zhaheba include the Ashutasi alkaline granites and the Yuyitasi syenogranites, which were emplaced at 321.5 ± 4.8 Ma and 321.7 ± 0.6 Ma, respectively. The major rock‐forming minerals are orthoclase, perthite, arfvedsonite and quartz, which exhibit the following principal geochemical characteristics of A2‐type granites. (1) Their REE distribution curves each exhibit a ‘V‘‐shaped pattern and a marked depletion in Eu. They are rich in large‐ion lithophile elements Rb, Th and U as well as high‐field‐strength elements Nb, Ta, Zr and Hf, but significantly depleted in Ba, Sr, P and Ti. (2) Their (87Sr/86Sr)i values (0.7021–0.7041), εNd(t) values (4.57–5.16) and REE distribution patterns are in basic agreement with those of the Kalamaili A‐type granite belt in East Junggar. The TDM2 values of the alkaline granites and syenogranites range from 661 to 709 Ma. The A‐type granites may be the products of upwelling asthenosphere‐triggered partial melting of immature lower crust. The alkaline granites were late‐stage products of crystallization and differentiation. Compared to the syenogranites, the alkaline granites are significantly lower in K2O, Na2O, Al2O3, FeO, MgO and CaO, but significantly higher in incompatible elements (e.g., SiO2, Rb, and Sr). The magmatic crystallization temperatures of the syenogranites and alkaline granites are 874°C and 819°C, respectively. As their age gradually decreases (peak ages: 322 Ma and 307 Ma, respectively), there is a gradual decrease in the TDM2 of the A‐type granites and a gradual increase in the εNd(t) value from the Ulungur belt to the Kalamaili belt in East Junggar. The study of A‐type granites is therefore one of the keys to understanding the laws and mechanisms of crustal accretion during the Phanerozoic period, as well as also being of great significance for understanding the Paleozoic accretion.

Published: August 2021

AbstractBackgroundParaspinal tumors are rare neoplasms arising from neurogenic elements of the posterior mediastinum and surgical resection can be challenging. Here, we demonstrate feasibility and outcomes from the first European case series of combined laminectomy and video‐assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) resection of thoracic neurogenic dumbbell tumors.MethodsA retrospective review of all combined thoracic dumbbell tumor resections performed at our institution between March 2015 to February 2019 was undertaken. Outcomes included operative time, blood loss, length of stay and recurrence rate. Statistical analysis was performed with SPSS statistics (v26). Values are given as mean ± standard deviation and median ± interquartile range.ResultsSeven patients were included in the case series and there were no major complications or mortality. Mean tumor size and operative time were 66 (± 35) mm and 171 (± 63) min, respectively. Median blood loss and length of stay were 40 (± 70) ml and four (± 3) days, respectively. One patient required conversion to thoracotomy to remove a tumor of 135 mm in maximal dimension. Histology in all seven cases confirmed schwannoma. There was no disease recurrence at a maximum follow‐up of 54 months.ConclusionsOur experience demonstrates favorable operative times, minimal blood loss and short length of stay when dealing with relatively large tumors compared to previous reports. Thoracotomy may be required for tumors exceeding 90 mm and chest drain removal on the operative day can facilitate early mobility and discharge. We advocate a combined, minimally invasive laminectomy and VATS resection as the gold‐standard approach for thoracic neurogenic dumbbell tumors.
Restating Internal Control Reports Following Financial Statement Restatements: Determinants and Consequences*
Authors: Feng Mei , Li Chan , Raghunandan K. , Sun Lili 
Published: August 2021

ABSTRACTAfter restating their financial statements, companies may voluntarily restate their previously issued internal control (IC) reports for the financial statement (FS) misstatement periods, changing them from “effective” to “ineffective.” This paper examines the determinants and consequences of IC restatements, which have been of concern to financial statement users. When announcing these IC restatements, companies often provide a detailed explanation of the IC problems and a discussion of their plans to remediate these problems. We find that companies with less severe IC problems that can be remediated more quickly are more likely to restate their IC reports. Moreover, these results are driven by companies with a higher need for external financing, suggesting that IC restaters voluntarily restate their IC reports in order to inform investors about their less severe IC material weaknesses and their plans to improve IC quality. Finally, we find that, relative to other FS restatement companies, IC restaters have a lower likelihood of CFO turnover and auditor resignation following the FS restatement. Taken together, our results suggest that voluntary IC restatements are used by IC restaters as a means to separate themselves from other FS restatement companies with more severe control problems and slower remediation plans. Our findings also indicate that studies investigating IC quality and related disclosures need to distinguish between IC restaters and other FS restatement companies because of the different characteristics and consequences between the two groups.

AbstractBackgroundCritical illness is often followed by mental and physical impairments. We aimed to assess the health‐related quality of life (HRQoL), symptoms of anxiety and depression, and physical function in critically ill patients after discharge from the intensive care unit.MethodsFor this prospective cohort study we included all available adult patients admitted to the ICU for >24 h during a 12‐month period. Home visits took place at 3 and 12 months after discharge from the hospital and included Short‐Form Health Survey (SF‐36), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and Chelsea Critical Care Assessment Too (CPAx).ResultsWe visited 79 patients at 3 and 53 at 12 months. In patients with data from both visits the mental components SF‐36 scores (median (IQR)) were 55 (43–63) at 3, and 58.5 (49.5–64) at 12 months; physical component SF‐36 scores were 35 (28–45) at 3, and 36 (28–42) at 12 months. SF‐36 subdomains of mental health, social functioning, and role emotional were close to normal. Vitality, bodily pain, general health, physical functioning, and role physical were severely affected. Incidences of anxiety and depression symptoms were 16%/8% at 3 and 13%/8% at 12 months) and physical function (CPAx) was 47 at both time points).ConclusionWe found no change in HRQoL, anxiety, and depression, or physical function from 3 months to 1 year. Physical health‐related quality of life was impaired at both time points. Subdomain scores for physical health‐related quality of life were affected more than mental domains at both time points.

AbstractBackgroundAtopic dermatitis (AD) is a common, chronic dermatosis, with onset of disease often manifesting in early infancy. Past studies evaluating the early use of moisturisers in the prevention of AD had mixed results.ObjectivesTo compare the incidence of moderate or severe AD and total incidence of AD in a cohort of ‘at‐risk’ infants treated with moisturisers from the first 2 weeks of life, to a similar group without moisturisers.MethodsWe performed a single‐centre, prospective, parallel‐group, randomised study in infants with at least 2 first‐degree relatives with atopy. Subjects were randomised into either a treatment group with moisturisers or a control group without moisturisers. Participants were assessed at 2, 6, and 12 months for AD and if present, the severity was assessed using SCORAD index. We also compared the overall incidence of AD, trans‐epidermal water loss (TEWL), stratum corneum (SC) hydration, pH, and incidence of food and environmental sensitisation and allergies between both groups. Genotyping for loss‐of‐functions mutations in the FLG gene was conducted.ResultsA total of 200 subjects were recruited, with 100 subjects in each arm. There was no significant difference in incidence of moderate or severe AD, and total incidence of AD at 12 months between the treatment and control groups. There was a lower mean SCORAD in the treatment group than in the control group, but no significant difference in TEWL, SC hydration, and skin pH. No significant side‐effects were reported.ConclusionsThe early use of moisturisers in ‘at‐risk’ infants does not reduce the incidence of moderate‐to‐severe AD and overall incidence of AD in infancy.
Diversity of flower‐visiting hoverflies (Diptera: Syrphidae) on ground cover vegetation from the market‐gardening area of Meskine (Far‐North Region, Cameroon)

Published: August 2021

AbstractWe characterised the hoverfly (Diptera: Syrphidae) community on ground cover vegetation in the market garden of Meskine (Far‐North region of Cameroon). Hoverflies were collected by hand‐netting from flowers of ground cover vegetation in 20 grass strips from March to June in two consecutive years (2017–2018). In total, 15 hoverfly species were collected of which eight were new to Cameroon (subfamily Eristalinae: Eristalinus megacephalus, Eristalinus tabanoides, Eristalinus aff. arvorum, Phytomia curta, Phytomia pallida, Phytomia incisa, Mesembrius caffer; subfamily Syrphinae: Asarkina sp.). The subfamily Eristalinae was most abundant (74% of the specimens collected), while species of the subfamily Syrphinae accounted for 26% of the occurrences. Four species were extremely abundant (M. caffer, E. tabanoides, E. aff. arvorum and Paragus borbonicus) accounting for 70% of all flower visit observations, while the other species were rarer. Plant species with yellow or white flowers seemed to be most attractive. Hoverfly activity was high in the morning and evening and decreased at noon, most likely due to the higher air temperature and lower humidity during this period. The characterisation of hoverfly communities and the management of wild flower strips surrounding cultivated fields could be an important practice to improve crop pollination by hoverflies.

AbstractObjectiveMultiple sclerosis (MS) is a central nervous system disorder characterized by inflammation, demyelination and neurodegeneration. It has been suggested that exercise and intake of probiotics might influence MS pathology and, thereby, slow down the disease process in MS patients. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect of exercise training with Lactobacillus plantarum intake on ionized calcium‐binding adaptor molecule 1, glial fibrillary acidic protein, interleukin (IL)‐6 and IL‐1β in cuprizone‐induced demyelination mouse model of MS.MethodsMice were exposed to cuprizone for 13 weeks. In the fifth week, motor and balance tests were carried out on them. The mice (n = 5 per group) were randomly divided into five groups: control (C), MS, MS with exercise (MS + Exe), MS with probiotics (MS + Pro) and MS with probiotics and exercise (MS + Pro + Exe). The exercise groups carried out aerobic exercises 5 days a week for 2 months. The mice received probiotic by gavage. One day after the interventions finished, the mice were killed. Biochemical and molecular biology analyses were carried out.ResultsIonized calcium‐binding adaptor molecule 1 and glial fibrillary acidic protein expression values in the MS + Pro + Exe, MS + Pro, and MS + Exe groups showed a significant decrease compared with the MS group (P < .05). Also, glial fibrillary acidic protein gene expression in the intervention groups showed an insignificant decrease (P > .05). The IL‐6 and IL‐1β values in the MS + Exe and MS + Pro + Exe groups showed a significant decrease compared with the MS group (P < .05).ConclusionsExercise with the intake of probiotics improved demyelination in the cuprizone‐induced demyelination mouse model of MS.
