TBML suspicious activity reports – a financial intelligence unit perspective
Authors: Naheem Mohammed Ahmad 
Published: July 2018

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to share research data from the Financial Intelligence sector on trade-based money laundering (TBML), as a way to better inform banking risk assessment and the submission of suspicious activity reports (SARs).Design/methodology/approachThe research data formed part of a bigger project on TBML banking risk assessment for improving the detection of TBML activity. This paper analysed the data from an online survey carried out among the financial intelligence staff from financial intelligence units (FIUs) and some external financial intelligence agencies. The aim was to determine which areas of banking SARs needed to be improved or enhanced to support FIU investigations.FindingsThe research found that FIUs do use the data supplied to them, in particular the SARs. The research also found that more data would be appreciated from banks especially in relation to beneficial ownership information and politically exposed persons data. The findings highlighted that contact between banks and FIUs was limited and restricted to a couple of key individuals, whereas the increased requirement for intelligence and more data would suggest that this relationship needs to be expanded and strengthened.Research limitations/implicationsThe main limitation was the restricted scope of the survey (only focussed on TBML) and was broad in depth, and perhaps a local FIU survey would be useful to look at specific country recommendations. Similar research also needs to be conducted on other forms of ML activity. The research identified the need for more information on beneficial ownership information; however, other work needs to be done on how exactly banks can access this data.Practical implicationsThe main outcome from the research was the need for SARs to contain more detailed information on beneficial ownership and politically exposed persons data. This needs to be incorporated into a specific risk assessment tool for TBML that considers not only the client but also relevant business partners and silent partners/shell companies used by the client. This research is part of a bigger research project that has developed a risk matrix tool for TBML and can be linked into this work.Originality/valueThe paper used original data collected by the researcher from 49 FIU and financial intelligence staff across the globe. The timely presentation of the results and the nature of the sample means that this is relevant and useful data to be presented to the banking sector.
Organizational ambidexterity in public non-profit organizations: interest and limits
Authors: Peng Hongxia 
Published: July 2018

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to study the potential interest in and the possible limits of the concept of organizational ambidexterity (Duncan, 1976; Tushman and O’Reilly, 1996) in the context of public non-profit organizations (PNPOs), a concept that is frequently studied in the private sector.Design/methodology/approachFrom an inductive and qualitative approach, this research is based on observations of ambidextrous innovation processes implemented in a French PNPO in charge of job search and unemployment compensation operations.FindingsThis research shows that the concept of organizational ambidexterity might provide some strategic leads for balancing the possible paradoxes within different kinds of expectations of the stakeholders of PNPOs. It might also facilitate the combination of the stability of public service deliverance and organizational transformation. Beyond its interest, this study identifies the limits of the concept in the context of PNPOs. For overcoming its limits, the study suggests a renewed understanding of organizational ambidexterity by taking account of PNPOs’ specificities, especially in terms of the regulation of the different tensions generated by ambidextrous organizational change.Research limitations/implicationsThis research proposes a conceptual framework built with the integration of sectorial and organizational characteristics of the public non-profit sector for understanding the organizational ambidexterity and its possible strategic, organizational and management implications in this sector. The results are limited to the context the author studied because of several sectorial, national, organizational and cultural specificities.Practical implicationsThe results might inspire management practices in PNPOs and potentially in private non-profit organizations or in voluntary organizations, since these three types of organizations could have certain similar organizational characteristics and might encounter similar questions in terms of strategy and innovation management.Originality/valueThis research suggests a renewed understanding of the concept of organizational ambidexterity in a sector in which the complexities, tensions and paradoxes generated by different stakeholders’ expectations are probably more present but less explicit than other organizations.

Authors: Tejativaddhana Phudit , Briggs David , Singhadej Orapin , Hinoguin Reggie 
Published: July 2018

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to describe progress in an across sectorial approach to primary health care at the district health service (DHS) level in Thailand in response to recent innovative national public policy directions which have been enshrined in constitutional doctrine and publicly endorsed by the Prime Minister. This paper describes one response to the Prime Minister’s challenge for Thailand to become the centre of learning in the sub-region in health management.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors utilised a descriptive case study approach utilising an analysis of the Naresuan University initiative of establishing the College of Health Systems Management (NUCHSM). Within that case study, there is a focus on challenges relevant to the socio-economic determinants of health (SOED) and an emphasis on utilising Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) within the DHS structure.

Findings
The findings describe the establishment of the NUCHSM. A Master of Science (Health Systems Management) by research and a PhD degree have been created and supported by an international faculty. The Thailand International Cooperation Agency recognised NUCHSM by providing scholarships. International students are from Bangladesh, Bhutan, Kenya, Malawi and Timor Leste. Research consultancy projects include two in Lao People’s Democratic Republic; plus, a prototype DHS management system responsive to SDG attainment; and a project to establish a sustainable Ageing Society philosophy for a Thai municipality.

Originality/value
The case study on NUCHSM and its antecedents in its development have demonstrated originality in a long-standing international collaboration, and it has been recognised by the national government to provide scholarships to citizens of the countries in the sub-region to undertake postgraduate studies in health management. The concept of learning from each other and together, simultaneously as a group, through action research projects funded to enhance the evolution of DHSs is innovative.
Printing with mechanically interlocked extrudates using a custom bi-extruder for fused deposition modelling
Authors: Khondoker Mohammad Abu Hasan , Asad Asad , Sameoto Dan 
Published: July 2018

Purpose
This paper aims to target to print functionally gradient materials (FGM) devices made of immiscible polymers in multi-material fused deposition modelling (FDM) systems. The design is intended to improve adhesion of dissimilar thermoplastics without the need for chemical compatibilization so that filaments from many different sources can be used effectively. Therefore, there is a need to invent an alternative solution for printing multiple immiscible polymers in an FDM system with the desired adhesion.

Design/methodology/approach
In this study, the authors have developed a bi-extruder for FDM systems which can print two thermoplastics through a single nozzle with a static intermixer to enhance bonding between input materials. The system can also change the composition of extrudates continuously.

Findings
The uniqueness of this extruder is in its easy access to the internal channel so that a static intermixer can be inserted, enabling deposition of mechanically interlocked extrudates composed of two immiscible polymers. Without this intermixer, the bi-extruder extrudes with simple side-by-side co-extrusion having no mechanical interlocking. The bi-extruder was characterized by printing objects using pairs of materials including polylactic acid, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene and high impact polystyrene. Microscope images of the cross-sections of the extrudates confirm the ability of this bi-extruder to control the composition as desired. It was also found that the mechanically interlocked extrudates composed of two immiscible polymers substantially reduces adhesion failures within and between filaments.

Originality/value
In this study, the first-ever FDM extruder with a mechanical blending feature next to the nozzle has been designed and used to successfully print FGM objects with improved mechanical properties.

AbstractObjectiveMany emergency department (ED) transfers of children may be avoidable. Identifying hospital‐level variables associated with avoidable transfers may guide system‐level interventions to improve pediatric emergency care. We sought to examine hospital characteristics associated with ED transfers deemed “probably avoidable” in a large state Medicaid program.MethodsWe performed a retrospective cohort study using 2009 to 2013 claims data for Pennsylvania Medicaid beneficiaries. We categorized all ED transfers of children < 17 years old as “probably avoidable,” “possibly avoidable”, or “unavoidable” based on ultimate disposition and procedures (including subspecialty consultations) at the receiving ED. Using descriptive statistics and multivariable regression, we examined hospital characteristics associated with probably avoidable transfers.ResultsAmong 2,839,379 pediatric visits to EDs across 158 Pennsylvania hospitals, 20,304 resulted in transfer. Among these, 3,764 (18.5%) were categorized as probably avoidable and 6,091 (30.0%) as possibly avoidable transfers. In adjusted analysis, compared to hospitals with no pediatric‐specific capabilities, probably avoidable transfers were less likely from referring hospitals with pediatric‐specific EDs and no other pediatric‐specific capabilities (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 0.38, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.21–0.71) and from referring hospitals with pediatric‐specific EDs and inpatient capabilities (aOR = 0.36, 95% CI = 0.20–0.64). Probably avoidable transfers were more likely from referring hospitals in large metropolitan areas (aOR = 2.64, 95% CI = 1.46–4.80) compared to those in rural areas.ConclusionsAmong pediatric emergency transfers in a large state Medicaid program with a nearly 20% probably avoidable transfer rate, there was significant hospital‐level variation in the proportion of probably avoidable transfers. Transfers from hospitals in large metropolitan areas and transfers from hospitals without pediatric‐specific capabilities had increased odds of being probably avoidable transfers, such that these hospitals may represent targets for interventions to reduce these transfers.

AbstractNative red squirrels Sciurus vulgaris in Great Britain and Ireland are threatened by alien grey squirrels S. carolinensis through exploitation competition and spillover of squirrelpox virus (SQPV). By accelerating the replacement of red squirrels by the invader, SQPV represents a fundamental factor to consider when planning management and conservation strategies. In mainland Europe, grey squirrels introduced to Italy threaten the survival of the whole continental red squirrel population, but no extensive surveys for SQPV presence have been carried out in the region. We therefore investigated SQPV infection in north Italian grey squirrel populations through a combination of serological and molecular methods. Firstly, we analysed sera from 285 individuals through an enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to detect antibodies against SQPV. Secondly, a PCR designed to amplify a segment of the G8R SQPV gene was carried out on DNA extracted from swabs and skin tissue samples from a second set of 66 grey squirrels. ELISA tests identified four reactors (1.4%), but the subsequent PCR survey did not detect any SQPV DNA. Based on the low prevalence observed and on PCR results, we believe that the four suspected positives were the result of an ELISA cross‐reaction following exposure to another pox virus. Considering sample size and performances of the two methods, confidence of freedom from SQPV resulted above 99.9%. However, because of the severe impact of SQPV on red squirrels, we recommend the implementation of a passive surveillance plan for the early detection of an SQPV emergence in continental Europe.

AbstractBackground and AimsPeople who have recently injected drugs are a priority population in efforts to achieve hepatitis C virus (HCV) elimination. This study estimated the prevalence and number of people with recent injecting drug use living with HCV, and the proportion of people with recent injecting drug use among all people living with HCV infection at global, regional and country‐levels.MethodsData from a global systematic review of injecting drug use and HCV antibody prevalence among people with recent (previous year) injecting drug use were used to estimate the prevalence and number of people with recent injecting drug use living with HCV. These data were combined with a systematic review of global HCV prevalence to estimate the proportion of people with recent injecting drug use among all people living with HCV.ResultsThere are an estimated 6.1 million [95% uncertainty interval (UI) = 3.4–9.2] people with recent injecting drug use aged 15–64 years living with HCV globally (39.2% viraemic prevalence; UI = 31.6–47.0), with the greatest numbers in East and Southeast Asia (1.5 million, UI = 1.0–2.1), eastern Europe (1.5 million, UI = 0.7–2.4) and North America (1.0 million, UI = 0.4–1.7). People with recent injecting drug use comprise an estimated 8.5% (UI = 4.6–13.1) of all HCV infections globally, with the greatest proportions in North America (30.5%, UI = 11.7–56.7), Latin America (22.0%, UI = 15.3–30.4) and eastern Europe (17.9%, UI = 8.2–30.9).ConclusionsAlthough, globally, 39.2% of people with recent injecting drug use are living with hepatitis C virus (HCV) and 8.5% of all HCV infections occur globally among people with recent injecting drug use, there is wide variation among countries and regions.

Published: July 2018

AbstractThe circle of Willis (CW) supplies blood to the brain. In humans, anatomical variations in the CW are an important risk factor for transient ischaemic attack and stroke. In canines, anatomical variations in the CW have not been reported. The aim of this study was to determine anatomical variations in the CW in dogs by magnetic resonance angiography. Normal configuration of the CW was observed in 82%, aplasia of the precommunicating segment of the rostral cerebral artery was observed in 14%, and aplasia of the rostral communicating artery was observed in 4% of dogs included in the study.

AbstractBackgroundIgE‐mediated egg allergy presents as one of the most common food allergies in children. Measurement of egg white specific IgE (sIgE) levels in serum or skin prick test has been shown to be a poor predictor of clinical allergy to raw egg white, and also to baked or cooked egg. Recent developments in component resolved diagnostic (CRD) technology have enabled us to improve the way in which we diagnose and predict peanut allergy by examining IgE specificity to individual peptides.ObjectivesWe aimed to investigate whether egg CRD could improve current methods to diagnose various egg allergy phenotypes as well as predict the development of tolerance to egg.MethodsUsing the HealthNuts cohort of food challenge‐proven egg allergic and egg‐sensitized and egg‐tolerant, age‐matched 12‐month infants with longitudinal follow‐up at 2 and 4 years (n = 451), we measured serum egg white, Gal d 1, 2, 3 and 5 sIgE using ImmunoCAP.ResultsGal d 1 sensitization increased the risk of persistent egg allergy by 2.5‐fold. The production of sIgE to all four egg allergens (Gal d 1, 2, 3 or 5) increased the risk of having persistent raw egg allergy fourfold (OR 4.19 (95% CI: 1.25‐14.07). We did not find any improvements of using Gal d 1, 2, 3 or 5 to diagnose current egg allergy compared to egg white sIgE.ConclusionSensitization to multiple egg allergens Gal d 1, 2, 3 or 5 may be a prognostic marker that could be useful for patient management and identifying individuals at risk of developing persistent egg allergy.

ObjectiveThe Asia Pacific Advanced Prostate Cancer Consensus Conference (APAC APCCC 2018) brought together 20 experts from 15 APAC countries to discuss the real‐world application of consensus statements from the second APCCC held in St Gallen in 2017 (APCCC 2017).FindingsDifferences in genetics, environment, lifestyle, diet and culture are all likely to influence the management of advanced prostate cancer in the APAC region when compared with the rest of the world. When considering the strong APCCC 2017 recommendation for the use of upfront docetaxel in metastatic castration‐naïve prostate cancer, the panel noted possible increased toxicity in Asian men receiving docetaxel, which would affect this recommendation in the APAC region. Although androgen receptor‐targeting agents appear to be well tolerated in Asian men with metastatic castration‐resistant prostate cancer, access to these drugs is very limited for financial reasons across the region. The meeting highlighted that cost and access to contemporary treatments and technologies are key factors influencing therapeutic decision‐making in the APAC region. Whilst lower cost/older treatments and technologies may be an option, issues of culture and patient or physician preference mean, these may not always be acceptable. Although generic products can reduce cost in some countries, costs may still be prohibitive for lower‐income patients or communities. The panellists noted the opportunity for a coordinated approach across the APAC region to address issues of access and cost. Developments in technologies and treatments are presenting new opportunities for the diagnosis and treatment of advanced prostate cancer. Differences in genetics and epidemiology affect the side‐effect profiles of some drugs and influence prescribing.ConclusionsAs the field continues to evolve, collaboration across the APAC region will be important to facilitate relevant research and collection and appraisal of data relevant to APAC populations. In the meantime, the APAC APCCC 2018 meeting highlighted the critical importance of a multidisciplinary team‐based approach to treatment planning and care, delivery of best‐practice care by clinicians with appropriate expertise, and the importance of patient information and support for informed patient choice.

Published: July 2018

AbstractIntroductionParent‐delivered therapy interventions for children with cerebral palsy can help achieve a sufficient therapy dose, improve parental mental well‐being, and facilitate parent–child relationships creating a more relaxed familial environment. However, parent‐delivered interventions may also lead to increased parental stress, guilt if the therapy is not delivered, and time constraints. The primary aim of this review was to gain a deeper understanding of the determinants of effective parent‐delivered therapy interventions.MethodSearches were conducted in the following databases: Medline, PubMed, Scopus, Embase, CINAHL, and Cochrane. Studies had to meet the following inclusion criteria: descriptions of parent/health care professional/child experiences of parent‐delivered therapy interventions for children and young people age 0–18 years with cerebral palsy, published in the English language between January 1989 and May 2017, with qualitative or mixed methods research design. The articles were critically appraised, then synthesized using a meta‐ethnographic approach.ResultsA literature search identified 17 articles, which met the inclusion criteria. Three main themes were identified: (a) building trusting relationships, (b) enabling the parents to cope, and (c) for parents and health care professionals to see the intervention as a priority. Further synthesis presented three concepts identifying the important aspects of the interventions: empowerment, motivation, and relationships.ConclusionsThe themes and concepts emerging from this qualitative synthesis can be addressed by specific points of action to support parent‐delivered therapy interventions. We have summarized these in a checklist for use by intervention developers, health care professionals, and parents.
