Authors: Hao Jianliang , Richey Jr Robert Glenn , Morgan Tyler R. , Slazinik Ian M. 
Published: November 2024

PurposeResearchers have examined the influence of the factors on reducing return rates in retailing over the years. However, the returns experience is often an overlooked way to drive customer engagement and repeat sales in the now ubiquitous omnichannel setting. The focus on returns prevention in existing research overshadows management’s need to understand better the comprehensive mechanics linking the customer in-store return experience with their repurchase actions. Recognizing the need to bridge different stages of the returns management process, this research aims to explore the facilitators and barriers of in-store return activities.Design/methodology/approachAnalysis of customer corporate data from 5,339 returns at the retail level provides insights from the customer return experience. Expanding our theoretical understanding, a deductive research approach then examines how those factors impact customer repurchase intentions both online and at brick-and-mortar stores. Stage two of the study employs a scenario-based role-playing experiment with consumer respondents to test hypotheses derived from signaling theory and justice theory.FindingsResults find that returns policy and loyalty program capabilities are essential in creating a positive customer in-store experience. Moreover, a return experience enhanced by frontline employee service can retain existing shoppers and drive additional store traffic, further stimulating retailer sales.Originality/valueThese findings refine our understanding of returns management in evolving omnichannel retailing and offer practical insights for retailers to manage customer relationships through in-store returns.

Published: November 2024

PurposeThis study investigated a mentor academy that was co-created within a school–university partnership (SUP) to support continuity in high-quality mentoring for teacher candidates, student teachers, novice teachers and teachers new to the school. We explored growth in the mentors and aspects of the academy that impacted that growth.Design/methodology/approachThis instrumental case study included eight mentors and one administrator participating in six sessions of the mentor academy during one academic year. Data included surveys, an interview, artifacts and notes. Additional survey data were gathered from teacher candidates and novice teachers who were mentees and other administrators. The academy focused on identifying the needs of mentees at different levels of experience, approaches to communication, feedback and observation and building a sustainable and life-giving mentoring program. The constant comparative method was applied within and across sources to reveal themes. Numerical data from Likert scale survey questions were cross-referenced with qualitative data.FindingsMentors improved their ability to build trusting relationships with mentees, provide individualized support based on mentees’ developmental levels, confer and offer specific feedback. They learned to mentor for independence, and mentors grew in confidence, suggesting and enacting leadership roles.Research limitations/implicationsThis study is limited to data from only one cohort. Furthermore, studying the content of mentoring sessions could provide a more nuanced understanding of mentors’ growth. Therefore, future research will include analysis of mentoring sessions and mentees’ goals and progress.Originality/valueThe mentor academy spanned the school–university boundary by cultivating cohesive mentoring practices, which supported the clinical preparation of teacher candidates, the development of teachers and the professional learning of mentors. The tools, procedures and network created by the mentors contributed to a self-sustaining and life-giving mentoring culture in the SUP.

Dynamics of China's development: Long–short perspectives on institutions, globalization, technology, and environmental quality using auto regressive distributive lag
Authors: Shuhai Niu , Zeb Ali , Rasheed Mohsin , Ullah Obaid , Din Naeem Ud 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThis study investigates the connections among institutional quality (IQ), globalization, technological innovation, and environmental sustainability in China, using time‐series data from 1995 to 2022. The autoregressive distributive lag model (ARDL) and Granger causality, stability, and diagnostics approaches were employed for rigorous data analysis. Results of the ARDL test reveal that IQ and technological innovation have a negative and significant impact on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the long run. In the short run, globalization has an insignificant impact on CO2 emissions; on the other hand, IQ, technological innovation, foreign direct investment, and economic growth significantly affect CO2 emissions in China. The result of Granger causality also confirmed unidirectional causality running from globalization, technological innovation, and IQ toward CO2 emissions. Furthermore, the NARDL analyses supported this research's findings. The study suggests that implementing effective environmental regulations, improving governance, and promoting transparency and accountability can enhance the enforcement of environmental policies. Although allowing the limited short‐term impact of globalization, planned global engagement associated with ecological goals is also recommended. Furthermore, policy recommendations include investing in research and development of green technologies, incentivizing companies to adopt eco‐friendly practices, and supporting startups focused on environmental solutions, which can drive positive change toward environmental sustainability in China.
Isolating the direct effects of growth hormone on lifespan and metabolism in mice

Published: November 2024

AbstractPrior studies have shown that interrupting the growth hormone/insulin‐like growth factor‐I (GH/IGF‐I) signaling axis extends laboratory mouse lifespan, but confounding effects of additional gene or hormone deficiencies that exist in commonly used models of GH/IGF‐I interruption obscure the specific effect of GH on longevity. We address this issue by using mice with a specific knockout of the GH gene and show that both males and females on a mixed genetic background display extended lifespans resulting from GH deficiency. Our physiological assessment of these mice revealed that in addition to weighing significantly less and displaying significantly greater body fat (as a percentage of body weight), GH deficient mice display significant impairments in glucose metabolism and preferential fat utilization. These data provide strong evidence that GH deficiency is directly responsible for the altered nutrient utilization and extended lifespan that is commonly observed in mouse models of GH/IGF‐I interruption.

Authors: Xiong Liang , Hu Jinzhu , Wang Dandan , Hua Juan , Chen Qi 
Published: November 2024

ABSTRACTVentricular premature contractions (VPC) originating from right ventricular outflow tract is the most common type of ventricular arrhythmias in clinic settings, which can be effectively cured by catheter ablation. Interruption of the inferior vena cava (IVC) is a rare vascular anomaly resulting from aberrant development during embryogenesis. Herein, we reported a very rare case of VPC originating from right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) with interruption of IVC, which was successfully ablated by transfemoral vein approach.
Cost–benefit analysis of landfill emergency securing: Two applications in Southern Italy
Authors: Comincioli Nicola , Romani Ilenia Gaia , Vergalli Sergio 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThe systematic use of landfills as a method of waste disposal is leaving a heavy legacy in terms of environmental pollution, especially in the case of illegal or non‐compliant disposal sites. When no environmental precaution is adopted, harmful substances' release imposes relevant health risk to the surrounding population. This risk is also reflected on the value of nearby assets. To mitigate this pressing problem, the European Union is planning and financing the remediation of thousands of contaminated sites on its territory. Cost–benefit analysis (CBA) is used for assessing the priority of individual projects and for accessing European funding, evaluating the effectiveness of an investment considering the externalities generated. In this paper, we apply CBA to two emergency securing interventions of contaminated sites in Southern Italy. We execute a financial analysis and an economic evaluation of four environmental and social spillovers (reduction of mortality, recovery of real estate and land assets values and landscape enhancement). This study contributes to the literature of CBA applied to environmental projects, proposing a systematic and replicable method for evaluating externalities generated by contaminated sites' emergency securing. Being based on two real case studies, this work allows to compare similar interventions, highlighting the most effective action strategy.

Published: November 2024

ABSTRACTBackgroundThe American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that adolescents with chronic health conditions begin to assume responsibility for their own care by age 14. The goal of this qualitative one‐time interview study is to learn how 14‐ to 16‐year‐old adolescents with chronic health conditions begin to develop self‐management skills and the role that caregivers play in the learning process.MethodsTwenty adolescents ages 14–16 with chronic renal (n = 5), gastrointestinal (n = 5), hematologic (n = 5), or rheumatologic (n = 5) diseases, and 20 caregivers (dyads), completed individual semi‐structured interviews discussing the adolescents' current degree of self‐management. Six coders analyzed transcripts using thematic framework analysis.ResultsThree primary themes emerged: continuum, motivations, and tools. Both adolescents and caregivers described progress along a self‐management continuum with varying levels of responsibility for the adolescents, ranging from passive to responsible. Caregivers' behaviors similarly varied from directive management to supported self‐management. Motivations for self‐management skills were described in relation to one's health, self, and others. Families utilized a variety of tools to facilitate movement toward supported self‐management with the adolescent.ConclusionsThe development of adolescent self‐management of their chronic condition is a complex, shifting continuum between caregiver and adolescent. This continuum may be impacted by adolescent motivation and tools/problem solving available to the family. Pediatric healthcare providers can support self‐management by assessing and attending to each patient's motivations; building a road map individualized to each patient's skills; and offering time in outpatient clinic to practice self‐management strategies.

Published: November 2024

ABSTRACTObjectivesThis in vitro study compared the accuracy of conventional impressions (CNVs), photogrammetry (PG), and intraoral scanning (IOS) for recording implant impressions of edentulous segments, ranging from part to complete arches by different evaluation methods.MethodsThe master model for an edentulous maxillary arch was created with six implants (a–f). CNVs, PG, and IOS were used for impressions. Three impression ranges (bcde, bcdef, and abcdef) were chosen for analysis. The best‐fit algorithm, absolute linear deviation, and angular deviation were used for evaluation. Trueness and precision were analyzed by two‐way ANOVA and the Kruskal–Wallis test, respectively.ResultsThe accuracy of multiple implant impressions was significantly influenced by the impression method and impression range (p < 0.05) regardless of the evaluation methods used. At smaller ranges (bcde and bcdef), there was no difference in the trueness of the three impression methods, whereas at a larger range (abcdef), both PG and CNV exhibited similar trueness, which was significantly higher than that of IOS(p < 0.05). The precision of PG was significantly better than that of CNV and IOS in most of cases (p < 0.05). As the range expanded, the trueness and precision of PG and IOS decreased (p < 0.05), whereas the accuracy of CNV remained stable.ConclusionsIn the case of large‐range impressions, PG demonstrated a similar degree of trueness and better precision compared with CNVs, whereas the trueness and precision of the intraoral scanning were worse. This indicated that PG might be a promising method for multiple implant impressions.

AbstractRachel Carson's warning of a silent spring directed attention to unwanted side effects of pesticide application. Though her work led to policies restricting insecticide use, various insecticides currently in use affect nontarget organisms and may contribute to population declines. The insecticide tebufenozide is used to control defoliating Lepidoptera in oak forests harboring rich insect faunas. Over 3 years, we tested the effect of its aerial application on bird populations with autonomous sound recorders in a large, replicated, full factorial field experiment during a spongy moth (Lymantria dispar) outbreak. The soundscape analysis combined automated aggregation of recordings into sound indices with species identification by experts. After pesticide application in the year of the outbreak, acoustic complexity in early summer was significantly reduced. The soundscape analysis showed that the reduction was not related to birds, but instead to the large reduction in caterpillar feeding and frass dropping. Effects on the vocal activity of birds were smaller than originally expected from a related study demonstrating tebufenozide's negative effect on bird breeding success. The legacy of the pesticide treatment, in terms of soundscape variation, was not present in the second year when the outbreak had ended. Our results showed a dimension of insecticide‐induced acoustic variation not immediately accessible to the human ear. It also illustrated how a multifaceted soundscape analysis can be used as a generic approach to quantify the impact of anthropogenic stressors in novel ways by providing an example of remote and continuous sound monitoring not possible in conventional field surveys.

Published: November 2024

AbstractAimMost of the literature on the environmental impact of surgery has analysed operating theatre practice in terms of its contribution to global warming (by greenhouse gas effects). The aim of this study was to assess the overall environmental impact of a complete perioperative pathway with and without implementation of an enhanced recovery programme (ERP).MethodWe compared two scenarios: an ERP scenario and a conventional scenario (CONV) for colorectal surgery. We carried out a lifecycle analysis for perioperative procedures, devices and consumables. We measured the impact on 17 environmental variables in addition to global warming.ResultsThe overall environmental impact of ERP was 6% lower than that of conventional care. The reduction of impact due to ERP ranged from 5% for greenhouse gas emissions (18 kg CO2 equivalent less per intervention) to 27% for water consumption (3 m3 less). The stages that had the most impact on the environment were the preoperative stage (essentially owing to patient travel) and the intraoperative stage with the surgical part (medical devices representing 83.3% of the impact of the procedure) and the anaesthesia part (halogenated gases and ventilation representing 54.9% of the impact of anaesthesia care).ConclusionThis study found an ERP approach to be more eco‐responsible than conventional care. This is an additional benefit of ERP implementation. The impact of ERP implementation might be further reduced by action on the preoperative and intraoperative stages.

Published: November 2024

ABSTRACTChatGPT has garnered significant interest for its potential educational benefits, particularly in aiding English as a foreign language (EFL) learners to develop language skills. This study aims to explore how various internal and external factors, as outlined in the proposed extended technology acceptance model (TAM), influence EFL learners’ acceptance and use of ChatGPT to enhance their oral English. Drawing on the extended TAM questionnaires from 212 Chinese EFL learners and semi‐structured interviews with 12 participants, the research underscores that a positive attitude toward ChatGPT significantly influences learners’ intention to adopt ChatGPT for English‐speaking practice. Moreover, facilitating conditions significantly predict the perceived ease of use. The qualitative results shed light on ChatGPT's effectiveness and convenience in developing English‐speaking skills, its potential to simulate IELTS exams and situational dialogues, and identifying certain scenario‐specific limitations.

ABSTRACTBackgroundInfluenza can be associated with nonrespiratory disease presentation, but these are less well documented due to the lack of routine testing for influenza in the healthcare system, especially if patients do not present with influenza‐like illness (ILI). We aimed to measure the proportion of influenza cases seeking care at emergency department (ED) for a nontraumatic cause, to describe their clinical presentation and their ED‐discharge diagnosis.MethodsThe study was conducted at seven hospitals in France, Spain, Italy and Germany during the 2019–20 influenza season, for a period of 10 weeks. Patients (≥ 18 years) consulting for nontraumatic causes at the ED were invited to participate. Consenting patients provided upper respiratory swab samples for influenza testing by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. Clinical and demographic data were collected.ResultsThere were 8678 patients included, 50.7% were female and the median age was 57 years. Among them, 494 (5.7%) were laboratory‐confirmed influenza (LCI) cases. Nonetheless, only 24.3% of LCI cases had an ED‐discharge of influenza. Of all cases confirmed as influenza, 47.6% had a nonrespiratory discharge diagnosis, which frequency increased with age. ILI case definition from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control was the most frequently met among influenza cases (68.6%). Older patients (≥ 65 years) were less frequently identified based on any ILI signs/symptoms.ConclusionOur findings indicate that the impact of influenza among patients seeking care at the ED cannot be easily assessed based on clinical presentation and medical records alone. Preventing influenza among adult population may reduce healthcare utilization.

Published: November 2024

AbstractThis study aimed to explore Chinese clinical nurses' attitudes towards medical device‐related pressure injuries (PIs) and analyse the relevant influencing factors. Between December 2023 and January 2024, a cross‐sectional survey of 1740 clinical nurses from three tertiary hospitals, three secondary hospitals and five community hospitals in Shanghai, China, was conducted via the Chinese version of the Attitude towards medical device‐related pressure ulcers/injuries questionnaire. A total of 1693 nurses participated in this study. Nurses' total score regarding their attitudes towards medical device‐related PIs was 36.60 ± 8.97, and multiple linear regression analysis revealed that clinical nurses' highest level of education (p < 0.001), professional title (p < 0.001), position (p = 0.001), years of work experience (p < 0.001) and participation in medical device‐related pressure injury (PI) training (p < 0.001) influenced their attitudes towards medical device‐related PIs. Nurses' attitudes towards medical device‐related PIs ranged between negative and positive. Therefore, it is essential to focus on the highest level of education, professional title, position and years of work experience. Increasing the frequency of medical device‐related pressure injury (PI) prevention training will improve nurses' attitudes towards medical device‐related PIs.
