Organizational learning and patient safety: hospital pharmacy settings
Authors: Abdallah Wael , Johnson Craig , Nitzl Cristian , Mohammed Mohammed A. 
Published: September 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship between organizational learning and patient safety culture in hospital pharmacy settings as determined by the learning organization survey short-form (LOS-27) and pharmacy survey on patient safety culture instruments, and to further explore how dimensions of organizational learning relate to dimensions of pharmacy patient safety culture.

Design/methodology/approach
This study is a cross-sectional study. Data were obtained from three public hospital pharmacies and three private hospital pharmacies in Kuwait. Partial least square structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data.

Findings
A total of 272 surveys (59.1 percent response rate) were completed and returned. The results indicated a significant positive relationship between organizational learning and patient safety culture in hospital pharmacy settings (path coefficient of 0.826, p-value <0.05 and R2 of 0.683). Several dimensions of the organizational learning showed significant links to the various dimensions of the pharmacy patient safety culture. Specifically, training (TRN), management that reinforces learning (MRL) and supportive learning environment (SLE) had the strongest effects on the pharmacy patient safety culture dimensions. Moreover, these effects indicated that MRL, SLE and TRN were associated with improvements in most dimensions of pharmacy patient safety culture.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first attempt to assess the relationship between organizational learning, patient safety culture and their dimensions in hospital pharmacy settings.

Published: September 2019

PurposeOut of 24 public business schools in Egypt, the purpose of this paper is to focus on three in order to investigate how responsible management education is perceived and exercised by academics there.Design/methodology/approachA total of 168 academics were contacted and interviewed in 42 focus groups. The length of each focus group was about 45 min, and all of them were conducted in Arabic because the majority of respondents are not fluent in English. The authors used thematic analysis to determine the main ideas in the transcripts.FindingsBased on data analysis of the perceptions of academics concerning business education, research and management process at the target business schools, the authors of this paper found that responsible management education is not considered a priority in the work agendas of the Egyptian public business schools. Furthermore, the authors believe that besides issues with the general acceptance of the need for responsible management education, there are functional, procedural and edu-academic barriers that these schools need to overcome first before proceeding with implementation and expecting positive outcomes.Research limitations/implicationsThis research maybe subject to criticism because the authors address only the perspectives of academics in the chosen business schools while neglecting other academic partners, particularly those in managerial positions, such as rectors and heads of departments. Future researchers may use the same research questions to investigate a managerial level perspective to depict a more holistic picture of the situation. Moreover, including Egyptian private business schools may also enrich the findings. In fact, the authors suggest that scholars from different academic disciplines such as sustainability management, business ethics, higher education, sustainability and cultural diversity work together to produce more interdisciplinary and trans-disciplinary research on the global responsibility themes business schools have to manage.Originality/valueThis paper contributes by filling a gap in sustainability, HR management, business ethics and higher education literature in which empirical studies on responsible management education and the responsible practices of academics have been limited so far.
Student mothers’ experiences of workplace internship
Authors: Dickson Martina 
Published: September 2019

PurposeWithin any vocational university degree, a placement in a workplace normally forms an integral part of developing professional skills and provides an opportunity for students to put into practice theoretical knowledge they have acquired through academic courses. For student mothers, keeping up with their studies whilst juggling their domestic responsibilities can become even more challenging than usual during work placements. This paper aims to document the narratives of ten student mothers who have been carrying out workplace internships in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).Design/methodology/approachThis paper uses qualitative methodology to explore, by interview, the experiences of student mothers undertaking a 12-week teaching internship during their final degree year. The study aimed to document the factors which have allowed the students to successfully complete their internships, as well as their comparative thoughts on the differences between college and workplace settings. An additional aim was to find out the student mothers’ own suggestions and advice to institutions, and to others in their situations, to optimize support and preparation prior to work placements.FindingsIt was found that while the student mothers experienced stresses such as arranging childcare, coping with different commutes and working schedule patterns, peers and school mentor teachers were an enormous source of support and empathy for the students. Supportive school mentors often influenced the students’ outcomes. Personal emotional reserves and intrinsic motivation were also key to success. Ways in which student mothers can be supported and retained by both workplaces and educational institutions are discussed.Originality/valueThe study of student mothers is unique both in its geographical context and in that the study looks specifically at both how they cope with the challenges of the workplace and how this is experienced differently to their normal lives at university.

Published: September 2019

PurposeThis paper aims to focus on the application of multi-attribute decision-making methods (MADMs) to ascertain the optimal machining parameters while turning Ti-6Al-4V alloy under minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) conditions using Jatropha-curcas oil (JCO) bio-based lubricant.Design/methodology/approachThe experiments were designed and performed using Taguchi L27 design of experiments methodology. A total of 27 experiments were performed under MQL conditions using textured carbide cutting tools on which different MADMs like Analytic hierarchy process (AHP), Technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) and Simple additive weighting (SAW) were implemented in an empirical manner to extract optimize machining parameters for turning of Ti-6Al-4V alloy under set of constrained conditions.FindingsThe results evaluated through MADMs exhibit the optimized set of machining parameters (cutting speedVc= 80 m/min, feed ratef = 0.05 mm/rev. and depth of cutap= 0.10 mm) for minimizing the average surface roughness (Ra), maximum flank wear (Vbmax), tangential cutting force (Fc) and cutting temperature (T). Further, analysis of variance (ANOVA) and traditional desirability function approach was applied and results of TOPSIS and SAW methods having optimal setting of parameters were compared as well as confirmation experiments were conducted to verify the results. A SEM analysis at lowest and highest cutting speeds was performed to investigate the tool wear patterns. At the highest speed, large cutting temperature generated, thereby resulted in chipping as well as notching and fracturing of the textured insert.Originality/valueThe research paper attempted in exploring the optimized machining parameters during turning of difficult-to-cut titanium alloy (Ti-6AL-4V) with textured carbide cutting tool under MQL environment through combined approach of MADMs techniques. Ti-6Al-4V alloy has been extensively used in important aerospace components like fuselage, hydraulic tubing, bulk head, wing spar, landing gear, as well as bio-medical applications.
The concentration of people and investments in the capital of a country of Latin America
Authors: Coronado Francisco 
Published: September 2019

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the population growth, migration, poverty, economic, political, environmental aspects and the management of the budget at national and municipal levels, including information of other cities in Peru, to define the effect on the quality of life of the population and formulate a management recommendation to help improve the quality of life in Lima and on intermediate cities.

Design/methodology/approach
The methodology of the study consisted on collect, review and select important factors that influence the quality of life in a big city, in this case in Lima, the concentration of people of Peru in Lima, migration and poverty, the coverage and quality of services, the concentration of the economy, public and private investments and services in Lima, some political aspects and a view of the available budget and the needed investment.

Findings
The deficiencies in the habitability conditions of the residents of Lima were verified considering the limited infrastructure and public services, the low level of investments and the limited effectiveness of the technical and administrative work of the municipal authorities and the central government. Although studies on other important cities in Peru are more limited, it could be said that similar limitations are being presented for example in transportation.

Research limitations/implications
The main obstacle to the study is the limited availability of information of such broad aspects that characterize a city that could not be covered in one paper.

Practical implications
The result of the study supports the need to implement appropriate management decisions about urban planning and investment policies for Metropolitan Lima, as well as to raise municipal and central government technical and legal conditions that are attractive for residents and investors for other cities in the country seeking their development, as well as to help counteract the concentration of people in Lima to control the demands of their habitability.

Social implications
The study could impact not only in the habitability conditions of about 10m inhabitants of Lima, but to all the 30m inhabitants of Perú.

Originality/value
Presents an unified vision of the social, economic and political deficiencies to the provision of services to a city concentrating the population of a country.

AbstractIntroductionThe likelihood of survival after cancer treatment among young women with cancer has increased considerably, quality of life after treatment has drawn more attention. However, in young fertile women, fertility preservation is an important issue with regard to quality of life. One of the options of fertility preservation is ovarian tissue cryopreservation. The purpose of this follow‐up study is to present our clinical experiences and evaluate the long‐term follow up of ovarian cryopreservation to improve future patient selection.Material and methodsFrom July 2002 to December 2015 at the Leiden University Hospital, the Netherlands, 69 young women underwent ovarian tissue cryopreservation when they were at risk of iatrogenic premature ovarian insufficiency. Follow‐up data with regard to ovarian function were obtained until October 2018, from medical records and questionnaires.ResultsOf the 69 women in whom ovarian tissue cryopreservation was performed, 12 died (15.9%), 57 were approached to participate, of which 6 were lost to follow up. The indications for ovarian tissue cryopreservation were malignant (81.1%) and benign (18.9%) diseases in which gonadotoxic treatment was scheduled. In total, twenty women (39.2%) are known to have premature ovarian insufficiency due to gonadotoxic treatment. Fifteen women conceived spontaneously, and delivered 25 babies. In this cohort, the usage rate of autotransplantation is 8.7% (7/69). In total, nine autotransplantations of cryopreserved ovarian tissue were performed in seven patients (of which 1 ovarian tissue cryopreservation was performed in another hospital) after which 6 babies were born to four women, giving a live‐birth rate of 57%.ConclusionsOvarian tissue cryopreservation followed by autotransplantation is an effective method to restore fertility (live‐birth rate of 57%). The usage rate of 8.7% (6/69) indicates that more knowledge about the risk of premature ovarian insufficiency after gonadotoxic treatment is needed to be able to offer ovarian tissue cryopreservation more selectively.

SummaryThe present guidelines are aimed at residents and board‐certified physicians in the fields of dermatology, pediatrics, pediatric dermatology and pediatric rheumatology as well as policymakers and insurance funds. They were developed by dermatologists and pediatric dermatologists in collaboration with pediatric rheumatologists using a formal consensus process (S2k).The guidelines highlight topics such as disease severity, quality of life, treatment goals as well as problems associated with off‐label drug therapy in children. Trigger factors and diagnostic aspects are discussed. The primary focus is on the various topical, systemic and UV‐based treatment options available and includes recommendations for use and treatment algorithms. Other aspects addressed herein include vaccinations in children and adolescents with psoriasis as well as various disease subtypes such as guttate psoriasis, diaper psoriasis, pustular psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. Finally, we also provide recommendations for imaging studies and the diagnostic workup to rule out tuberculosis prior to initiating systemic treatment.Note: This article constitutes part 2 of the Sk2 guidelines for the treatment of psoriasis in children and adolescents. Part 1 was published in last month's issue. It contained introductory remarks and addressed aspects of diagnosis and topical treatment.

Published: September 2019

AimTo report the differences between Performance of Upper Limb (PUL) versions 1.2 and 2.0, compare the measurement ability of the two versions, and compare their longitudinal performance in Duchenne muscular dystrophy.MethodRasch analysis was performed on the dual data from three centres to confirm whether the two scales measure the same construct. Change scores in natural history for the different domains were compared for the two versions.ResultsRasch analysis demonstrated that both versions measure the same construct and that the PUL 2.0 was a better fit to the construct of motor performance and better able to detect change at 12 months in all levels of ability than the PUL 1.2. This was also true when change scores were reviewed over 2 years.InterpretationOur results confirm that the PUL 1.2 and 2.0 versions detect change in all domains over 2 years. They also demonstrate that simplifying the original scoring of the PUL 1.2 for the revised PUL 2.0 maintains the validity of the construct and enhances the scale measurement qualities.What this paper adds

The original and revised Performance of Upper Limb (PUL) scales measure the same construct.

Both scales detected change in all domains over 2 years.

The PUL 2.0 enhances the measurement qualities of the scale.
Embedding patient and public involvement: Managing tacit and explicit expectations

Published: September 2019

AbstractBackgroundEvidencing well‐planned and implemented patient and public involvement (PPI) in a research project is increasingly required in funding bids and dissemination activities. There is a tacit expectation that involving people with experience of the condition under study will improve the integrity and quality of the research. This expectation remains largely unproblematized and unchallenged.ObjectiveTo critically evaluate the implementation of PPI activity, including co‐research in a programme of research exploring ways to enhance the independence of people with dementia.DesignUsing critical cases, we make visible and explicate theoretical and moral challenges of PPI.ResultsCase 1 explores the challenges of undertaking multiple PPI roles in the same study making explicit different responsibilities of being a co‐applicant, PPI advisory member and a co‐researcher. Case 2 explores tensions which arose when working with carer co‐researchers during data collection; here the co‐researcher's wish to offer support and advice to research participants, a moral imperative, was in conflict with assumptions about the role of the objective interviewer. Case 3 defines and examines co‐research data coding and interpretation activities undertaken with people with dementia, reporting the theoretical outputs of the activity and questioning whether this was co‐researcher analysis or PPI validation.ConclusionPatient and public involvement activity can empower individual PPI volunteers and improve relevance and quality of research but it is a complex activity which is socially constructed in flexible ways with variable outcomes. It cannot be assumed to be simple or universal panacea for increasing the relevance and accessibility of research to the public.

Published: September 2019

AbstractPreparation of high melting point sphere is of great practical value and remains a great challenge. Herein, for the first time a delicate chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process was developed for fabricating spherical TiN and TiC powders, which can hardly be attainable by conventional processes. The big equilibrium constant and released heats are key parameters for obtaining spherical TiN and TiC powders by the CVD process. Sphericity and crystallinity of these spherical powders can be controlled by adjusting nucleation and growth. The optimal TiN spheres (diameter 0.46 μm, sphericity 0.89) and TiC spheres (diameter 0.52 μm, sphericity 0.87) were obtained at 850°C under N2 and H2 and CH4, respectively. The design ideas explore a novel way to fabricate high melting point spheres.

AbstractAimSpecies–area relationships (SARs) are fundamental scaling laws in ecology although their shape is still disputed. At larger areas, power laws best represent SARs. Yet, it remains unclear whether SARs follow other shapes at finer spatial grains in continuous vegetation. We asked which function describes SARs best at small grains and explored how sampling methodology or the environment influence SAR shape.LocationPalaearctic grasslands and other non‐forested habitats.TaxaVascular plants, bryophytes and lichens.MethodsWe used the GrassPlot database, containing standardized vegetation‐plot data from vascular plants, bryophytes and lichens spanning a wide range of grassland types throughout the Palaearctic and including 2,057 nested‐plot series with at least seven grain sizes ranging from 1 cm2 to 1,024 m2. Using nonlinear regression, we assessed the appropriateness of different SAR functions (power, power quadratic, power breakpoint, logarithmic, Michaelis–Menten). Based on AICc, we tested whether the ranking of functions differed among taxonomic groups, methodological settings, biomes or vegetation types.ResultsThe power function was the most suitable function across the studied taxonomic groups. The superiority of this function increased from lichens to bryophytes to vascular plants to all three taxonomic groups together. The sampling method was highly influential as rooted presence sampling decreased the performance of the power function. By contrast, biome and vegetation type had practically no influence on the superiority of the power law.Main conclusionsWe conclude that SARs of sessile organisms at smaller spatial grains are best approximated by a power function. This coincides with several other comprehensive studies of SARs at different grain sizes and for different taxa, thus supporting the general appropriateness of the power function for modelling species diversity over a wide range of grain sizes. The poor performance of the Michaelis–Menten function demonstrates that richness within plant communities generally does not approach any saturation, thus calling into question the concept of minimal area.
