Boundary subjects and boundary objects in accounting fact construction and communication
Authors: Laine Teemu , Korhonen Tuomas , Suomala Petri , Rantamaa Asta 
Published: August 2016

Purpose
This paper aims to elaborate the concepts of boundary subjects and boundary objects in constructing and communicating relevant accounting facts for managing product development (PD). Boundary subjects as reflective actors benefit effective accounting enactment, by building a shared understanding about different actors’ roles and information needs, and by helping to respond to these needs with new boundary objects.

Design/methodology/approach
The paper uses a longitudinal interventionist case study of a machinery manufacturer. The focus of this case study was the production ramp-up phase at the end of a PD program. Different actors’ needs were first collected and elaborated by interventionist researchers (boundary subjects). Then accounting prototypes (boundary objects) provided new means of communication.

Findings
The findings show that dealing with boundaries is crucial in accounting development. The role of boundary subjects was fundamental in the process of choosing, constructing, elaborating and communicating accounting facts. During this process, accounting prototypes integrated new accounting facts, the boundary subjects mitigated the boundaries and the boundary objects focused and restricted communication about accounting facts.

Research limitations/implications
The paper tests the pragmatic constructivism approach by examining accounting enactment under uncertainty and ambiguity. The study refines pragmatic constructivism in terms of boundaries, boundary subjects as actors and boundary objects.

Practical implications
The intentional use of boundary subjects and objects as communication platform could push a more active inclusion of business controllers as active business partners.

Originality/value
The paper contributes to the literature on accounting development by highlighting the use of boundary subjects and boundary objects as fundamental mechanisms in constructing and communicating accounting facts.
Tracing the becoming of reflective practitioner through the enactment of epistemic practices
Authors: Trenca Mihaela 
Published: August 2016

Purpose
This paper aims to develop a conceptual framework for tracing the cognitive and affective micro-processes management accountants can draw upon to construct themselves as reflective practitioners within organizational context.

Design/methodology/approach
Drawing on pragmatic constructivism and Heron’s (1992) theory of learning and personhood, the framework provides a methodology for tracing the way management accountants can construct themselves as reflective practitioners by enactig epistemic practices (Cetina, 2001). Furthermore, we enquire into the epistemological requirements for creating trustworthy knowledge and the processes through which actors can diminish the proactive-pragmatic truth gap.

Findings
The framework shows how the participatory function of the mind, deeply rooted in affective processes, is implicated in creating empathic engagement with epistemic objects. Besides the affective dimension, there is the need for logical inferences to link facts and reveal possibilities for helping actors to pursue their value system. Coupling affective and logical processes fosters passionate humility, which helps actors create clear communicative acts with whom other actors can resonate, leading to the development of functioning practices.

Research limitations/implications
Providing a framework for tracing the micro-processes of epistemic practices can serve as a tool for researchers to acquire a more detailed account of the practice and. By looking into the epistemological aspect of practice, researchers could be able to go beyond describing practice and suggest improvements from a pragmatic point of view.

Originality/value
The paper provides a novel insight into the analysis of management accounting practice by showing the interplay between affective and cognitive processes in sustaining epistemic practice. Additionally, it opens up the dialogue on trustworthiness of knowledge generated through epistemic practices.
Arias to academia: an academic malpractice suite in three movements
Authors: Upshaw Allison 
Published: August 2016

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to explore the possible affects of personal traumas on the pedagogical practices of educators sometimes resulting in a type of pedagogical malpractice. The content shares an interest towards reformation in artist training programs, and personal learning experiences for K-12 teachers.Design/methodology/approach– Beginning an inward/backward journey of narrative inquiry, I use autoethnography to explore the following questions: What am I teaching my students, explicitly and implicitly? To what extent do I perpetuate the traumas of my pre-professional training? How can I interrupt this legacy of abuse in my own pedagogical practices? My journey is shared through a collection of brief narrative vignettes, referred to by the musical term suite, in which I critically examine my life experiences in search of answers to these questions.Findings– Like most qualitative research puzzles, I’m left with more questions rather than finite answers. How would my educational experiences have been different, if I understood learning as a shared privilege between teacher and student? How much more transformative could my teaching, have been, if it were not a catchall just in case I wasn’t successful in my chosen path? How might I have grown as a performer, if teaching had been a respected and integrated part of my performance curricula? How much less of a failure would I have felt when I found myself leading a classroom in later years? Would I have perceived it as a failure at all?Research limitations/implications– This situated narrative stops for the sake of article length, but the journey into becoming continues and will require consistent reflection to remain headed in the right direction.Originality/value– This piece is an autoethnographic account that contributes to positive pedagogical practices.
Autoethnography as a praxis of care – the promises and pitfalls of autoethnography as a commitment to care
Authors: Visse Merel , Niemeijer Alistair 
Published: August 2016

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to focus on the possibilities of autoethnography as a commitment to care and a social justice agenda (Denzin, 2014:p. x).Design/methodology/approach– Autoethnography can be seen as a “methodology that allows us to examine how the private troubles of individuals are connected to public issues and to public responses to these troubles” (Mills, 1959, cited in Denzin, 2014). This resonates strongly with the field of study: political care ethics, as the main focus is on how to promote a caring society. “Care” might be conceived broadly as everything the authors do to maintain and repair the world; i.e., as a social praxis.Findings– Care ethics can benefit from autoethnography, as there is a strong(er) emphasis on “what matters,” what people care for, about and why, rather than on what is “right.” In this paper, the authors will thus explore the promises and pitfalls of autoethnography for a caring society, by connecting insights from theories on political care ethics and qualitative inquiry with the own autoethnographic performance at the International Conference on Qualitative Inquiry in May 2015.Originality/value– Care ethics can benefit from autoethnography, as there is a strong(er) emphasis on “what matters,” what people care for, about and why, rather than on what is “right.”
Auto-, duo- and collaborative-ethnographies: “caring” in an audit culture climate
Authors: Rinehart Robert E. , Earl Kerry 
Published: August 2016

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to make a case for the strength of qualitative work, but more specifically for various kinds of ethnographies.Design/methodology/approach– The authors argue that global neoliberal and audit culture policies have crept into academic research, tertiary education practice, and research culture.Findings– The authors then discuss major tenets of and make the case for the use of auto-, duo-, and collaborative-ethnographies as caring practices and research method(ologies) that may in fact push back against such hegemonic neoliberal practices in the academy. Finally, the authors link these caring types of ethnographies to the papers within this special issue.Originality/value– This is an original look at the concepts of auto-, duo-, and collaborative-ethnographies with relation to caring practices.
Outing autoethnography: an exploration of relational ethics in queer autoethnographic research
Authors: Mesner Kerri 
Published: August 2016

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to open up a deeper, more complex discussion about ethical issues in queer autoethnography, by moving beyond either an outline of seminal autoethnographic thinkers, instigators, and writers, or a simple rearticulation of the key issues currently under discussion within the field of autoethnographic ethics.Design/methodology/approach– The author’s intention is toqueerautoethnographic ethics – that is, to employqueeringas a verb, and to queerly examine autoethnographic scholars through the problematizing lenses of unexamined privilege, and of potential ethical violence to the researcher. After this, the author turns to theological writers to help us to queer the notions of ethical certainty, challenging our fear of ideological uncertainty, our fear of the body, and our fear of ambiguity.Findings– This paper offers a more expansive and challenging approach to traditional autoethnographic ethical guidelines. It also raises several significant questions for ongoing scholarly discussion in the field.Originality/value– It is hoped is that this paper will open up new possibilities and trajectories in the ongoing debates about autoethnographic ethics.
Key knowledge management processes for innovation: a systematic literature review
Authors: Costa Vítor , Monteiro Samuel 
Published: August 2016

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to review current literature on knowledge management processes considering the relationship between the key knowledge processes of acquisition, sharing, storage, codification, creation, application and different types of innovation, through a systematic literature review.

Design/methodology/approach
This study follows systematic review protocols for management and organisational sciences and analyses 45 full papers on knowledge management processes and innovation.

Findings
Results not only show that all knowledge processes can directly support innovation but also that other organisational variables (e.g. organisational learning, absorptive capacity) mediate this relationship. Moreover, knowledge creation and knowledge application appear as two central processes through which knowledge acquisition, sharing, codification and storage influence innovation. Knowledge acquisition and knowledge sharing are the most frequently studied knowledge processes. The majority of the sample papers present traditional innovation definitions (product vs process, radical vs incremental and technical vs administrative). However, organisational innovation, innovation capability and innovation performance approaches emerge from the papers’ analysis.

Research limitations/implications
The present review includes major scientific papers; however, the search is limited to the Web of ScienceTM platform.

Originality/value
This literature review analyses high-quality, peer-reviewed papers, following a systematic methodology that can be tested and updated. Papers were divided based upon the knowledge process(es) being analysed and the innovation type/approach, providing a twofold contribution to knowledge management and innovation literature.
Effects of Intradialytic Resistance Exercise on Protein Energy Wasting, Physical Performance and Physical Activity in Ambulatory Patients on Dialysis: A Single‐Center Preliminary Study in a Japanese Dialysis Facility
Authors: Saitoh Masakazu , Ogawa Masumi , Dos Santos Marcelo Rodrigues , Kondo Hisae , Suga Kiichi , Itoh Haruki , Tabata Yoichiro 
Published: August 2016

AbstractPatients under hemodialysis present protein‐energy wasting (PEW), which is related with higher mortality rates. The study aimed to determine whether intradialytic resistance exercise training could improve physical performance, physical activity, and PEW in hemodialysis patients. In single center study, 75 hemodialysis patients were enrolled in an intradialytic resistance exercise training consisting of 20 min of adapted leg press, with a gymnastic ball, 3 days/week, during 9 months on the same day of hemodialysis therapy. Physical performance by short physical performance battery (SPPB), physical activity by life space assessment (LSA), and PEW score based on the nomenclature proposed by the International Society of Renal Nutrition and Metabolism in 2008 were assessed at baseline and after 9 months. Intradialytic resistance exercise training significantly improved SPPB score, LSA score, and PEW score (all, P < 0.05). In addition, intradialytic resistance exercise training improved SPPB score in patients with moderate and severe PEW subgroups (P < 0.05), associated with reduced prevalence of the patients with moderate to severe PEW (53% vs. 36%, P < 0.05). Intradialytic resistance exercise training was safe and effective to improve physical performance, physical activity, and PEW in hemodialysis patients.
Systematic review and meta‐analysis of clinical outcomes of early caffeine therapy in preterm neonates
Authors: Kua Kok Pim , Lee Shaun Wen Huey 
Published: August 2016

AimsThis study evaluated the therapeutic outcomes of early versus late caffeine therapy in preterm neonates.MethodsWe performed a systematic literature search in PubMed, Embase, CINAHL and CENTRAL from inception to 30 June 2016 to identify studies investigating the use of early caffeine therapy (initiated at less than 3 days of life) in preterm infants. Effect estimates were combined using random‐effects meta‐analysis. The primary outcomes for this study were bronchopulmonary dysplasia and mortality.ResultsThe initial search found 4066 citations, of which 14 studies enrolling a total of 64 438 participants were included. The time of initiation of early caffeine therapy varied from the first 2 h to 3 days postnatal. Early caffeine therapy reduced the risk of bronchopulmonary dysplasia in both cohort studies (RR: 0.80, 95% CI: 0.66 to 0.96) and randomized controlled trials (RR: 0.67, 95% CI: 0.56 to 0.81). In cohort studies, neonates treated early with caffeine also showed decreased risks of patent ductus arteriosus, brain injury, retinopathy of prematurity and postnatal steroid use. However, the mortality rate was increased.ConclusionsThe findings suggest that early caffeine therapy is associated with reduced incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia and may help decrease the burden of morbidities in preterm infants.
Role of the thymus in autoimmune myasthenia gravis
Authors: Berrih‐Aknin Sonia 
Published: August 2016

AbstractThymic pathologies are frequently associated with myasthenia gravis. Although thymoma is found in both men and women mostly after the age of 40 years, thymic follicular hyperplasia is very common in young women. Thymomas are associated with high autoreactivity and reduced efficiency of tolerance mechanisms, at least partially due to the absence of functional medullary epithelial cells. In follicular hyperplasia, the presence of ectopic germinal centers is evocative of what is described in other autoimmune disorders, where germinal centers are found in the inflamed tissues. The grade of follicular hyperplasia is correlated with the serum level of anti‐acetylcholine receptor (AChR) antibody, suggesting that the thymic hyperplasia contributes to the production of anti‐AChR antibodies. Cellular and molecular analysis of thymic follicular hyperplasia shows changes in the Th1/Th17/regulatory T cell balance, with increased expression of Th1 and Th17 cytokines, and defective function of regulatory T cells. Follicular hyperplasia is also characterized by active neo‐angiogenesis, and increased chemokine synthesis, namely CXCL13 and CCL21, which play a major role in the generation of germinal centers. This inflammatory environment recruits peripheral B cells, and together with the overexpression of the autoantigen could specifically lead to the anti‐AChR autoimmune response. The individual predisposing background includes gene polymorphism, but also hormones, vitamin D level and other environmental components. Overall, the functional and morphological changes observed in the thymus, the improvement of patients after thymectomy, and the correlation between the degree of follicular hyperplasia and the level of anti‐AChR antibodies suggest a causal relationship between thymic pathology and MG.

Authors: Minamoto Keiko , Watanabe Takeshi , Diepgen Thomas L. 
Published: August 2016

SummaryBackgroundDental workers are considered to have a high risk of developing occupational hand eczema.ObjectivesTo estimate the prevalence of work‐related hand eczema and associated risk factors in dental workers in Japan.MethodsA self‐administered questionnaire was sent by mail to all dental clinics of Kumamoto City, Japan. In addition, patch testing with 24 dentistry‐related allergens was offered.ResultsIn total, 46.4% of dental workers (n = 528: response 31.4%, based on 97 clinics) reported a lifetime history of chronic hand eczema. The 1‐year prevalence was 36.2%. According to logistic regression analysis, the most important risk factors for the 1‐year prevalence were a personal history of atopic dermatitis [odds ratio (OR) 4.7, 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.2–8.8], asthma and/or allergic rhinitis (OR 2.0, 95%CI: 1.3–3.0), dry skin (OR 1.7, 95%CI: 1.1–2.7), shorter duration of work (OR 2.0, 95%CI: 1.2–3.5 for up to 10 years versus >20 years), and washing hands >10 times per day (OR 1.6, 95%CI: 1.0–2.5). Fifty‐four workers were patch tested. Rubber chemicals and acrylates were the most frequent occupationally relevant contact allergens.ConclusionsDental workers in Japan have a high prevalence of hand eczema. Health education to prevent hand eczema and more frequent patch testing are needed.
Extreme Dependence under Uncertainty: an application to Stock, Currency and Oil Markets
Authors: Bekiros Stelios , Uddin Gazi Salah 
Published: August 2016

AbstractWe explore the impact of uncertainty on financial markets in the aftermath of the global financial crisis. In particular, we investigate the temporal dynamics of the dependence structure of stock, currency and oil markets in the United States using a nonparametric copula approach. Policy uncertainty is modeled via the EPU index of Baker et al. (). We find evidence of a pronounced extreme tail asymmetric interrelationship between the crude oil market and economic uncertainty.

Published: August 2016

AbstractAcellular dermal matrix (ADM) is commonly employed to create an inferior pocket for the tissue expander in two‐stage breast reconstruction. The authors sought to determine whether placement of ADM during the first stage of reconstruction decreases the amount of capsule formation at implant exchange. Patients who underwent mastectomy and tissue expander reconstruction were included in this study. Two biopsies were obtained at the time of implant exchange, one from the pocket adjacent to the ADM and the other from the area adjacent to the pectoralis muscle. Pathology analysis was performed on each sample. Ten patients underwent immediate breast reconstruction with Alloderm during the 3‐month study period. Capsule thickness was significantly greater in the areas where the expander was in direct contact with the pectoralis muscle (782 ± 194 µm) compared to those in contact with human acellular dermal matrix (hADM) (47·91 ± 110·82 µm; P < 0·05). Analysis of the sub‐pectoral capsule demonstrated diffuse deposition of collagen, neutrophils, contractile myofibroblasts and synovia‐like metaplasia, characteristic of a foreign body response. Conversely, within the inferior pocket where the hADM was in direct contact with the expander, we noted migration of host epithelial cells, fibroblasts, mesenchymal cells and angiogenesis, indicating host tissue regeneration. Acellular dermal matrix, when placed at the first stage of breast reconstruction, significantly reduces thickness and inflammatory character of the capsule in comparison to the patient's native tissue.
Effect of timing of count events on estimates of sea lice abundance and interpretation of effectiveness following bath treatments
Authors: Gautam R , Vanderstichel R , Boerlage A S , Revie C W , Hammell K L 
Published: August 2016

AbstractEffectiveness of sea lice bath treatment is often assessed by comparing pre‐ and post‐treatment counts. However, in practice, the post‐treatment counting window varies from the day of treatment to several days after treatment. In this study, we assess the effect of post‐treatment lag time on sea lice abundance estimates after chemical bath treatment using data from the sea lice data management program (Fish‐iTrends) between 2010 and 2014. Data on two life stages, (i) adult female (AF) and (ii) pre‐adult and adult male (PAAM), were aggregated at the cage level and log‐transformed. Average sea lice counts by post‐treatment lag time were computed for AF and PAAM and compared relative to treatment day, using linear mixed models. There were 720 observations (treatment events) that uniquely matched pre‐ and post‐treatment counts from 53 farms. Lag time had a significant effect on the estimated sea lice abundance, which was influenced by season and pre‐treatment sea lice levels. During summer, sea lice were at a minimum when counted 1 day post‐treatment irrespective of pre‐treatment sea lice levels, whereas in the spring and autumn, low levels were observed for PAAM over a longer interval of time, provided the pre‐treatment sea lice levels were >5–10.
A novel use of social media to evaluate the occurrence of skin lesions affecting wild dusky grouper, Epinephelus marginatus (Lowe, 1834), in Libyan coastal waters

Published: August 2016

AbstractThe social media network Facebook™ was used to gather information on the occurrence and geographical distribution of dusky grouper dermatitis, a skin lesion affecting the dusky grouper, Epinephelus marginatus. Dusky grouper are common targets for spear fishermen in the Mediterranean and by monitoring spearfishing activity in Libyan waters, it was possible to document skin lesions from their entries on Facebook. Thirty‐two Facebook accounts and 8 Facebook groups posting from 23 Libyan coastal cities provided a retrospective observational data set comprising a total of 382 images of dusky grouper caught by spearfishing between December 2011 and December 2015. Skin lesions were observable on 57/362 fish, for which images were of sufficient quality for analysis, giving a minimal prevalence for lesions of 15.75%. Only dusky grouper exceeding an estimated 40 cm total length exhibited lesions. The ability to collect useful data about the occurrence and geographical distribution of pathological conditions affecting wild fish using social media networks demonstrates their potential utility as a tool to support epidemiological studies and monitor the health of populations of aquatic animals. To our knowledge, this represents the first time that such an approach has been applied for assessing health in a wild population of fish.
