Transparency and the rhetorical use of citations to Robert Yin in case study research
Authors: Massaro Maurizio , Dumay John , Bagnoli Carlo 
Published: January 2019

PurposeThis paper aims to analyse “how”, “why” and “where” authors use citations of Robert Yin’s classic text, Case Study Research: Design and Methods, to determine the application of methodological transparency in published case study research.Design/methodology/approachThe analysis is conducted using a structured literature review methodology.FindingsThe results reveal problems of obliteration by incorporation, miscitations, appeals to ethos, rhetorical convenience and a shadow effect, also known as adumbration. The authors argue that case study research relying, either in full or in part, on Yin’s methodology should transparently describe how and which parts of the methodology have been applied. Thus, the conclusions signal some opportunities for improving transparency in the use of citations in case study research.Research limitations/implicationsThe analysis highlights behaviours that may lead researchers to questionable findings due to a lack of methodological transparency in developing case study research, along with some recommendations for avoiding such problems. Improving transparency is useful for readers to understand what was done, for reviewers and editors to evaluate the research, and to guide other researchers who wish to conduct case study research.Originality/valueThis research compares citation practices in case study research in accounting and management with a focus on citations of Robert Yin. The results build on previous studies that analyse how scholars apply case study methodology that encourages researchers to adopt greater transparency.
Differential effects of climate warming on reproduction and functional responses on insects in the fourth trophic level

Published: January 2019

Abstract

Understanding the effects of anthropogenic global warming (AGW) on species interactions is essential for predicting community responses to climate change. However, while effects of AGW on resource–consumer interactions at the first and second trophic level have been well studied, little is known about effects on interactions at higher trophic levels at the terminal end of food chains (e.g. in the third and fourth trophic levels).

Here, we examined the effects of temperature variability by simulating heatwaves on functional responses of two species at the fourth trophic level (hyperparasitoids) that parasitize host species at the third trophic level (parasitoid cocoons).

We found that host cocoons developed faster under simulated heatwave conditions, decreasing the temporal window of susceptibility of the host cocoons to parasitism by the two hyperparasitoids, and consequently parasitism declined with temperature. However, the effects of a simulated heatwave markedly differed among the two hyperparasitoid species; temperature and host quality had a much stronger effect on early reproduction in the less fecund hyperparasitoid Gelis agilis, than in the more fecund species Acrolyta nens.

Our results suggest that exposure to heatwaves, that are expected to increase in frequency, will affect the ability of species at higher trophic levels to exploit transient resources whose suitability is temperature‐dependent. In turn, the observed effects of AGW on the functional responses of the hyperparasitoids may disrupt trophic interactions and have profound impact on population dynamics and ecological processes.

ObjectiveTo describe differences in patient experiences of hospital care by preferred language within racial/ethnic groups.Data Source2014‐2015 HCAHPS survey data.Study DesignWe compared six composite measures for seven languages (English, Spanish, Russian, Portuguese, Chinese, Vietnamese, and Other) within applicable subsets of five racial/ethnic groups (Hispanics, Asian/Pacific Islanders, American Indian/Alaska Natives, Blacks, and Whites). We measured patient‐mix adjusted overall, between‐ and within‐hospital differences in patient experience by language, using linear regression.Data Collection MethodsSurveys from 5 480 308 patients discharged from 4517 hospitals 2014‐2015.Principal FindingsWithin each racial/ethnic group, mean reported experiences for non‐English‐preferring patients were almost always worse than their English‐preferring counterparts. Language differences were largest and most consistent for Care Coordination. Within‐hospital differences by language were often larger than between‐hospital differences and were largest for Care Coordination. Where between‐hospital differences existed, non‐English‐preferring patients usually attended hospitals whose average patient experience scores for all patients were lower than the average scores for the hospitals of their English‐preferring counterparts.ConclusionsEfforts should be made to increase access to better hospitals for language minorities and improve care coordination and other facets of patient experience in hospitals with high proportions of non‐English‐preferring patients, focusing on cultural competence and language‐appropriate services.

AbstractMites are one of the serious pests of turfgrass. Our survey of turfgrass fields from 2013 to 2015 in Korea showed that the occurrence of leaf chlorotic symptom has gradually extended to at least 60% of the examined golf courses. We identified the zoysiae mite Aceria zoysiae in most damaged zoysiagrasses. Artificial infestation of A. zoysiae into zoysiagrasses in pots resulted in symptoms of chlorosis and marginal rolling of the leaves within 3 weeks. We firstly determined the nucleotide sequence of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) and internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) of the nuclear ribosomal DNA region of A. zoysiae. The variations in COI and ITS2 between A. zoysiae and other species of the genus were 20.9%–43.0% and 7.5%–67.3%, respectively, suggesting significant genetic divergence within the genus. Our study provides valuable information for the rapid diagnosis and infestation monitoring of A. zoysiae in turfgrass fields.
Measurement‐based care using DSM‐5 for opioid use disorder: can we make opioid medication treatment more effective?

Published: January 2019

AbstractContext and PurposeMeasurement‐based care (MBC) is an evidence‐based health‐care practice in which indicators of disease are tracked to inform clinical actions, provide feedback to patients and improve outcomes. The current opioid crisis in multiple countries provides a pressing rationale for adopting a basic MBC approach for opioid use disorder (OUD) using DSM‐5 to increase treatment retention and effectiveness.ProposalTo stimulate debate, we propose a basic MBC approach using the 11 symptoms of OUD (DSM‐5) to inform the delivery of medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD; including methadone, buprenorphine and naltrexone) and their evaluation in office‐based primary care and specialist clinics. Key features of a basic MBC approach for OUD using DSM‐5 are described, with an illustration of how clinical actions are guided and outcomes communicated. For core treatment tasks, we propose that craving and drug use response to MOUD should be assessed after 2 weeks, and OUD remission status should be evaluated at 3, 6 and 12 months (and exit from MOUD treatment) and beyond. Each of the 11 DSM‐5 symptoms of OUD should be discussed with the patient to develop a case formulation and guide selection of adjunctive psychological interventions, supplemented with information on substance use, and optionally extended with information from other clinical instruments. A patient‐reported outcome measure should be recorded and discussed at each remission assessment.ConclusionsMBC can be used to tailor and adapt MOUD treatment to increase engagement, retention and effectiveness. MBC practice principles can help promote patient‐centred care in OUD, personalized addiction therapeutics and facilitate communication of outcomes.

Published: January 2019

AbstractBackground and AimsLong‐term frequent marijuana use is associated with significant negative outcomes, yet little is known about the longitudinal course of marijuana use among those who start frequent use during adolescence. Objectives are (a) to identify latent patterns of within‐person marijuana use from ages 19–30 years among 12th graders reporting frequent marijuana use, (b) to examine if membership in identified patterns has changed across historical time and (c) to examine if key covariates differentiate class membership.Design, Setting, ParticipantsLongitudinal, national US panel data from 4423 individuals [53.4% of the eligible sample; 2744 (62%) males] who reported frequent marijuana use in 12th grade (modal age 18 years; senior year cohorts 1976–2006) followed biennially from ages 19/20 to 29/30.MeasurementsSelf‐reported past 30‐day marijuana use (frequent use defined as use on 20+ occasions), demographics, college graduation, marriage and parenthood.FindingsRepeated‐measures latent class analysis (RMLCA) identified five latent classes of past 30‐day marijuana use from ages 19/20 to 29/30: continued frequent users (estimated membership 23.4%); frequent to non‐frequent users (15.5%); consistent non‐frequent users (18.4%); non‐frequent users to discontinuers (19.5%); and discontinuers (23.2%). In multivariable models, membership in the highest‐risk latent class (continued frequent users) versus one or more of the lower‐risk latent classes was more likely for recent cohorts (P = 0.038 to <0.001), as well as those who did not marry (P = 0.039 to < 0.001) or become parents (P = 0.001) by modal age 29/30.ConclusionsNearly one in four 12th grade (modal age 18 years) frequent marijuana users in the US continues to report high frequency use to age 30; the proportion continuing high frequency use across young adulthood has increased among more recent cohorts.

Published: January 2019

AbstractA comparison of the preparation ability of two root canal instrumentation systems in oval‐shaped canals using micro‐computed tomography was undertaken. Thirty extracted, single‐rooted, human mandibular premolars with radiographically similar canal morphology were selected, allocated to two groups (N = 15) and prepared with TRUShape or Vortex Blue (VB). Each sample was subjected to three scans (20 μm resolution): pre‐preparation and after preparation to sizes #30 and #40. Three‐dimensional data sets were evaluated for canal volume, surface area and surface treatment. Matched axial slices in apical, middle and coronal root thirds were evaluated for cross‐sectional area, roundness and transportation. Preparation with both instruments increased canal volumes and surface areas similarly and significantly (P < 0.001) with no significant difference between groups. TRUShape significantly enhanced surface treatment at both apical sizes (P < 0.05). Transportation exceeded 100 μm in only eight out of 90 cross sections. Both instruments performed similarly during preparation. TRUShape, however, significantly enhanced surface treatment.

AbstractThe aim of the present study was to analyse differences in the tissue response to the different haemostatic agents used for periapical surgery (BloodSTOP iX® (oxicellulose), Expazen® (aluminum chloride), calcium sulphate (CS), Gelatamp® (gelatin sponge) and Hemocor® (ferric sulphate). Seventy‐two bone defects were made on the calvarium of 36 Sprague‐Dawley rats. The specimens were euthanised at 3, 6 and 12 weeks. Histological analysis revealed a giant cell foreign body reaction against BloodStop iX®, Gelatamp® and Hemocor®. Leukocytes persisted at the surgical bed during the healing process longer as expected with Gelatamp® (6 weeks) and Hemocor® (12 weeks). We confirmed a generalised delay in bone formation. Calcium sulphate did not cause any foreign body reaction. CS showed excellent results with a high degree of compatibility, there was no inflammatory reaction with this agent after 12 weeks and was not associated with a significant foreign body reaction at any time during the study.

ProblemTo investigate whether metabolic syndrome (MetS) is associated with exacerbation of inflammatory responses in preeclamptic (PE) patients, the dynamic changes of Th17 and Treg cells, monocytes, cytokines, and transcription pattern of inflammasome‐related genes were analyzed in 35 women with PE suffering from MetS in comparison to 38 PE women without MetS and healthy pregnant women.Method of studyExpression of inflammasome‐related genes, cytokines, and also TLR4 was measured using real‐time PCR. Serum and medium supernatant cytokines levels of PBMCs and serum levels of HMGB1 and Caspase‐1 were also evaluated by ELISA. Monocytes, Th17, and Treg cells frequency were also determined by flow cytometry.ResultPE women with MetS exhibited increased percentage of non‐classical and intermediate monocytes and Th17 cells (P = 0.025). Furthermore, decreased Treg cells frequency was also observed in PE women with MetS compared to PE women (P = 0.019). The mRNA expression of inflammasome‐related genes (Caspase‐1, NLRP3, HMGB1), TLR4, IL‐1β, IL‐6, IL‐17, IL‐18, and TNF‐α was significantly higher in PE patients with MetS than that of the healthy pregnant individuals (P < 0.0001) and PE patients (P < 0.0001). Serum levels of TGF‐β and TNF‐α in PE patients with MetS were increased compared to other two groups, while IL‐10 levels were significantly reduced. A significant sFlt (P = 0.016), Caspase‐1 (P = 0.012), HMGB1 (P = 0.016) upregulation, and VEGF (P = 0.023) downregulation were also observed in the serum of PE women having MetS compared to PE women.ConclusionMetS is closely related to the exacerbation of inflammatory reactions in PE. This study indicates that, in order to diminish the systemic features of PE, prior to conceive and start a pregnancy, MetS should be severely considered and managed.

AbstractEfferocytosis, which is known as the phagocytic clearance of dying cells by professional as well as non‐professional phagocytes, including a great number of intracellular/extracellular factors and signals, is interrelated with the immune system, contributing to local and systemic homeostasis, especially in tissues with high constitutive rates of apoptosis. Accumulating studies have indicated that immune dysregulation is associated with the pathogenesis of the female reproductive system, which causes preeclampsia (PE), recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA), ruptured ectopic pregnancy, and so on. And some studies have revealed the pleiotropic and essential role of efferocytosis in these obstetrical disorders. More specifically, the occurrence and development of these diseases were in connection with some efferocytosis‐related factors and signals, such as C1q, MBL, and IL‐33/ST2. In this review, we systematically review the diverse impacts of efferocytosis in immune system and discuss its relevance to normal and pathological pregnancy. These findings may instruct future basic researches as well as clinical applications of efferocytosis‐related factors and signals as latent predictors or therapeutic targets on the obstetrical disorders.

Published: January 2019

AbstractIncreasing organ donor registration enrollment inside motor vehicle facilities (MVF) is a common approach in the United States. From this research, a formula for what works has emerged within the literature including the presence of an interpersonal component, video messages, and point‐of‐decision materials. These intervention components have demonstrated effectiveness at increasing registrations in relatively new statewide registries; however, their effectiveness in MVFs with a mature registry remains understudied. The current study examined the effectiveness of an online MVF clerk intervention and the other examined the effectiveness of a multi‐message, phase MVF intervention aimed at increasing organ donation registrations. The results revealed that MVF clerks garnered increased knowledge and greater comfort in communicating about organ donation with patrons after the intervention. Moreover, the intervention revealed that clerk talk effectiveness was positively associated with organ donation registration among MVF customers. Against expectations, recall of video messages was negatively associated with new registrations. Exposure to the brochure, counter mat, and poster donation messages was not associated with organ donation registration. An emphasis on the strengths and shortcomings of using MVFs as intervention sites for organ donation registration promotion are discussed.

Published: January 2019

AimTo examine psychometric properties and clinical utility of the Functional Communication Classification System (FCCS) for classifying observable communication function in children with cerebral palsy (CP) aged 5 to 18 years.MethodEighty‐two children (38 males, 44 females) with CP in six age groups (5y [n=15], 8y [n=14], 10y [n=14], 12y [n=14], 15y [n=11], and 17y [n=14]) were assessed by a speech‐language pathologist (SLP) and parent for FCCS ratings. Data were compared with: (1) everyday communication function, assessed using the Clinical Evaluation of Language Fundamentals – Fourth Edition Pragmatics Profile (CELF‐4 PP) for familiar and unfamiliar partners; (2) motor speech, gross and fine motor function; and (3) associated impairments, including epilepsy, intelligence, hearing, and vision. Interrater agreement was calculated for FCCS ratings using kappa (κ) statistics. Relationships between FCCS ratings and other measures were examined using Spearman's correlation coefficient.ResultsAlmost perfect interrater agreement was demonstrated between SLP and parent FCCS ratings (κw=0.96). Correlations were excellent between FCCS ratings with CELF‐4 PP ratings, motor speech, and intellect; moderate with gross and fine motor function; and fair with other associated impairments (hearing, visual, and epilepsy). There was no correlation between age and FCCS.InterpretationThe FCCS is a reliable and valid communication classification system for children with CP aged 5 to 18 years, and highly suitable for surveillance, research, and clinical purposes.What this paper adds

The Functional Communication Classification System (FCCS) is valid and reliable for communication classification in children with cerebral palsy.

Excellent agreement is present between speech language pathologists and parents.

The FCCS shows excellent correlation with pragmatics, motor speech, and intelligence.

The FCCS is moderately correlated with gross and fine motor function.

The FCCS has fair correlation with epilepsy, hearing, and vision.

AbstractAimThe prevalence of diabetes has been increasing over the past few decades. The objective of this study is to assess the time trends in diabetes between 1994 and 2017 in Jordan.MethodsSurveys were conducted in 1994, 2004, 2009 and 2017 by the same investigators using generally similar methods. Fasting blood glucose was measured in all surveys. Variables were obtained using structured questionnaires designed specifically for the surveys. Crude and age‐specific diabetes prevalence rates were derived for each sex, together with overall, crude and age‐standardized prevalence rates.ResultsThe prevalence of diabetes in men aged ≥ 25 years increased from 14.2% in 1994 to 18.3% in 2004, 26.8% in 2009 and 32.4% in 2017. The corresponding prevalence rates in women were 12.3%, 16.9%, 18.8%, and 18.1%, respectively. The overall age‐standardized prevalence rate increased from 13.0% in 1994 to 17.1% in 2004, 22.2% in 2009 and 23.7% in 2017. Known diabetes in the 2017 survey accounted for 82.6% of people with diabetes. A HbA1c of < 59 mmol/mol (7.5%) was observed in 41.4% of participants with known diabetes.ConclusionThe results showed a high prevalence of diabetes in Jordan among people aged ≥ 25 years. Prevalence increased from 1994 to 2009, but slowed thereafter. The increase was greater in men than in women. Previously diagnosed diabetes accounted for a high percentage of people with diabetes in all surveys and was highest in 2017 survey, suggesting that the national strategy against diabetes has brought some benefits. Efforts should be made to improve glycaemic control in people with diabetes.
