A review and future trends of precision livestock over dairy and beef cow cattle with artificial intelligence
Authors: Michelena Álvaro , Fontenla-Romero Óscar , Luis Calvo-Rolle José 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
The demand for meat and dairy products is expected to rise significantly in the current demographic and economic growth context. Concurrently, various factors, including financial crises and reduced profitability, have decreased the number of livestock farms. Consequently, the livestock industry is undergoing intensification, with an increased number of cows per farm. This shift makes the management of animals increasingly complex. Amid these challenges, the society’s growing concern for animal health and welfare and the quality of consumed products underscores the importance of systems that aid in the individual and herd-level monitoring and control within livestock operations. In this scenario, precision livestock farming has become essential with the emergence of new sensors and technologies and the evolution of artificial intelligence. Against this backdrop, this paper reviews systems and techniques used in precision livestock farming to detect anomalies caused by reproductive processes and diseases in dairy and beef cattle. The article analyzes sensors and technologies employed, presents key studies conducted, and discusses the most commonly used artificial intelligence techniques in detecting prevalent anomalies.

Study Design.
Secondary analysis of prospective study.

Objective.
To investigate the impact of fatty infiltration (FI) in the paraspinal muscles (PM) on postoperative Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) subsection-scores in patients undergoing elective lumbar surgery for degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis (DLS).

Background.
DLS can increase FI in the PM like the multifidus (MF), erector spinae (ES), and psoas (PS), leading to greater spinal disability and higher ODI-scores. It is unclear if increased PM FI affects all ODI subsections equally.

Methods.
This study reviewed data from a single-center cohort of DLS-patients who underwent elective lumbar surgery. Overall ODI and the subsection scores were prospectively assessed before and 2 years post-surgery. FI of the PS, MF, and ES was measured using T2-weighted MRI images. The relationship between PM FI and postoperative ODI subsections were analyzed, using multivariable linear regression analysis.

Results.
Overall, 229 patients (59% female, mean age of 67±8 y) were included with an overall baseline ODI of 50[40-62] and a postoperative ODI of 16.[2-34] The highest preoperative subsection-scores were seen in pain intensity (4[2-4]), changing degree of pain (4[3-4]), lifting (4[1-5]), and standing (4[3-4]). PM-measurements showed a mean FI of 41±10% for ES, 58±15% for MF, and 6±5% for PS. Patients with increased ES FI were more likely to show higher postoperative scores in all ODI subsections and in the overall ODI (Est=0.45, 95%CI 0.20-0.71, P=0.004). Increased MF FI was significantly associated with higher postoperative ODI subsection scores in standing (Est=0.02, 95%CI 0.01-0.03, P=0.033) and walking (Est=0.02, 95%CI 0.01-0.03, P=0.017).

Conclusion.
Increased erector spinae fatty infiltration is significantly associated with higher ODI scores across all subsections 2 years after lumbar surgery, while higher multifidus fatty infiltration is linked to greater disability in standing and walking. These findings underscore the need to maintain paraspinal muscle health to improve surgical planning, improve rehabilitation outcomes, and reduce postoperative disability.
Silicone on the Move: Migratory Siliconoma After Retinal Surgery Report of a Case and Review of the Literature
Authors: Finkelstein Mitchell J. , Pukhalskaya Tatsiana , North Jeffrey A. , Mully Thaddeus , Wesche W. Allen , Tetzlaff Michael T. 
Published: October 2024

Abstract:
Silicone granulomas, or “siliconomas,” are the common foreign-body inflammatory responses to injected silicone material. In rare cases, siliconomas develop remotely from the original site of injection, secondary to silicone migration. If a history of silicone injection is not noted, such lesions risk misdiagnosis (possibly as infection or malignancy). Intraocular silicone oil is commonly used in retinal detachment surgery, with occasional reports of granulomatous responses after its application in this context. Here, we report a 66-year-old man who developed a periocular silicone granuloma years after scleral buckle surgery for a detached retina and summarize the literature of similar reports of migratory siliconoma.
Academic Coaching in Entry-level Doctor of Physical Therapy Education
Authors: Black Kayla , Feda Jessica , Reynolds Breanna , Cutrone Guillermo , Gagnon Kendra 
Published: October 2024

Background and Purpose.
Learners face a variety of academic and personal challenges that may impact performance in Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) programs. Academic coaching has emerged as a student support model within undergraduate medical education but has not yet been evaluated in DPT education. The purpose of this method/model presentation was to describe the development, implementation, and evaluation of 2 coaching programs.

Method/Model Description and Evaluation.
Two hybrid DPT programs implemented a coaching approach to support students. The coaching framework was centered around an individualized relationship between the learner and faculty coach to promote reflection, growth, agency, and persistence in educational and professional development. Faculty members were prepared and supported to serve as coaches. Coaches met with their assigned students at regular intervals throughout the program, including clinical experiences. The coaching programs were assessed through program exit surveys and an alumni survey.

Outcomes.
Graduates from both programs reported that the coaching program was effective and supported a sense of belonging or connectedness within their DPT program. They reported several specific activities that were part of the coaching program structure that supported its effectiveness, including group-based orientation activities and 1:1 meetings with their coach. Graduates also provided suggestions for program improvement including increased structure and more opportunities to connect with their peers and coaches in a nonacademic setting.

Discussion and Conclusion.
Two DPT programs successfully implemented coaching as their student support model. With appropriate preparation, planning, and support, coaching programs have the potential to provide individualized and meaningful support for DPT students.
Ergonomics in bronchoscopy
Authors: Di Felice Christopher , Alunilkummannil Jojo , Holden Van 
Published: October 2024

Purpose of review
This study examines ergonomic considerations in bronchoscopic procedures, surveying existing research, injury rates, contributing factors, and practical ergonomic controls.

Recent findings
The field of ergonomics examines the relationship between workers and their workplace to enhance productivity and minimize injuries. Bronchoscopists may face ergonomic hazards due to extended periods of maintaining fixed positions, repetitive actions, and the design of both tools and procedure spaces. Studies on the ergonomics of bronchoscopy have revealed a wide range of musculoskeletal issues among practitioners. Those new to the field, including trainees and early-career professionals, may be particularly vulnerable to injuries compared to their more experienced counterparts. Implementing a systematic approach, such as that proposed by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, could help reduce physical stress, discomfort, and the likelihood of musculoskeletal disorders for bronchoscopists.

Summary
Bronchoscopists increasingly face ergonomic issues in their practice. Despite available measures to address these problems, the field lacks uniform ergonomic guidelines for bronchoscopy. To safeguard bronchoscopists’ health and safety from the outset of their careers, more studies and training focused on ergonomics in bronchoscopy are needed.

Authors: Telesnicki Teagan , Nantais Jordan , De Mestral Charles , de Buck van Overstraeten Anthony , Gomez David 
Published: October 2024

Objective:
To describe long-term re-presentations and interventions following non-operative management (NOM) of acute appendicitis (AA).

Summary Background Data:
Trial data suggest NOM of AA carries a substantial risk of subsequent appendectomy, although NOM is increasingly offered to patients. Population-based data is required to understand the real-world long-term course of patients undergoing NOM of AA.

Methods:
This population-based cohort study included all adult patients in Ontario, Canada who presented to any emergency department (ED) with AA between 2004-2019. Patients who did not undergo a procedure on index ED presentation or hospital admission were defined as NOM and followed for five years. The cumulative incidence of composite re-presentation or intervention (ED re-presentation, re-admission, emergency, or scheduled appendicitis procedure) was calculated accounting for competing risk of death.

Results:
Of 156,362 patients identified with AA, 13,200 underwent NOM. The cumulative incidence of composite re-presentation or intervention was 33% at 1-year (95%CI 32-33%) and 36% at 5-years (95%CI 36-37%). At 5-years, the incidence of appendicitis-specific ED re-presentation or hospital re-admission was 16% (95%CI 15-16%), the incidence of an emergency procedure for AA was 12% (95%CI 12-13%), and the incidence of scheduled surgery was 21% (95%CI 20-21%). In a subgroup of patients with uncomplicated AA, composite re-presentation or intervention was 28% at 1-year (95%CI 27-29%) and 32% at 5-years (95%CI 32-33%).

Conclusions:
Real-world estimates of emergency re-presentation with or without urgent surgery following NOM of AA were lower than previously described. Scheduled appendectomy made up an important proportion of long-term interventions following NOM.
The impact of perceived knowledge on marketing agility in the context of big data: role of deployment level
Authors: Haverila Matti , Haverila Kai Christian , McLaughlin Caitlin 
Published: October 2024

PurposeAgainst the backdrop of dynamic capabilities theory, this research examines the relationship between knowledge and marketing agility in the context of big data marketing analytics (BDMA). The relevant knowledge constructs under investigation are business/marketing, relational, technological and technology management. The level of BDMA deployment is also examined to determine its impact on these relationships.Design/methodology/approachA survey was used to gather data from marketing professionals working in firms with at least limited experience in big data (BD) deployment in the United States and Canada. The results were analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) with a sample of 236 responses.FindingsThe results indicate that marketing professionals perceived the knowledge and marketing agility constructs differently than the previous research on IT professionals. The knowledge construct was perceived as a two-dimensional construct consisting of broad knowledge skills and specific technical knowledge skills. Only the broad knowledge skills construct was significantly related to the marketing agility construct, with progressively high predictive validity and relevance when the deployment of BDMA progresses.Originality/valueThe paper's originality stems from the different conceptualizations of the knowledge and marketing agility constructs due to the use of a novel sample of marketing professionals in this study. The research also contributes to the dynamic capabilities theory by emphasizing the critical role of vital knowledge when aiming to enhance marketing agility.
Honest incompetence: exploring the dark side of social entrepreneurship
Authors: Muldoon Jeffrey , McDowell William C. , Konopaske Robert , Cristofaro Matteo 
Published: October 2024

PurposeThis paper explores the often overlooked and novel academic concept of honest incompetence as a potential “dark” side of social entrepreneurship, where well-intentioned but inadequately skilled agents hinder the effectiveness and sustainability of positive social change initiatives.Design/methodology/approachWe have adopted a multiparadigm approach to theory building, known as metatriangulation. We draw upon agency theory and behavioral decision theory to undergird a framework consisting of antecedents, processes, outcomes and moderators of honest incompetence in social entrepreneurship.FindingsWe introduce a detailed framework for understanding honest incompetence in social entrepreneurship. This framework identifies antecedents such as knowledge gaps, examines mechanisms like misguided interventions and explores consequences, including group vilification. Additionally, it investigates moderating factors, emphasizing the disadvantages of outcome-based compensation and the difficulties in evaluating outcomes.Originality/valueThis article investigates factors that engender honest incompetence in social entrepreneurship, revealing how even well-intentioned efforts can inadvertently hinder goals. Despite their sincere motives, social entrepreneurs might make choices that conflict with their objectives. Addressing this issue necessitates a customized approach, which includes engaging actively with the community and fostering robust social connections.
The adoption of cotton combine services and farm technical efficiency: evidence from Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan
Authors: Bilal Muhammad , Tadjiev Abdusame , Djanibekov Nodir 
Published: October 2024

PurposeThis study examines the adoption of cotton combine services and its impact on farm technical efficiency in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. The research aims to determine whether mechanisation influences productivity and economic output at the farm level.Design/methodology/approachUsing farm-level data from 511 cotton growers in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan collected in 2019, this study employs stochastic frontier analysis to measure potential output and technical inefficiency among cotton farmers. The analysis includes a translog functional form to account for the use of cotton combine services and other farming variables.FindingsThe findings indicate that while mechanisation through cotton combines can potentially increase technical efficiency by optimising the harvesting process, the benefits are not uniformly experienced across all farms. Variations in farm characteristics, such as labour availability and existing agricultural practices, influence the efficiency of technology adoption. Institutional factors and historical legacies also play a significant role in the adoption and impact of mechanisation.Research limitations/implicationsThe study is based on cross-sectional data from 2019, and the findings may not capture longer-term trends or recent developments in mechanisation policies in the study countries.Originality/valueThis research provides a nuanced understanding of the conditions under which cotton combine services enhance or hinder technical efficiency. It highlights the necessity for carefully tailored policies for mechanisation, especially in Uzbekistan, where rural labour is abundant and predominantly female. The study contributes to the broader discourse on agricultural mechanisation in developing countries by focusing on the specific context of Central Asia.
The distribution of insufficient effort responses according to the methods of classifying and interpreting students’ evaluation of teaching effectiveness
Authors: AlQuraan Mahmoud 
Published: October 2024

PurposeThis study explores the distribution of insufficient effort responders according to methods of classifying students’ evaluation of teaching effectiveness in higher education. Five different methods were found in the literature to classify students’ evaluation of teaching effectiveness in higher education.Design/methodology/approachQuantitative research methodology was used to achieve the goals of this study. Data from a major public university was used through 20 five-point items that are designed to measure students’ evaluation of teaching effectiveness. The dataset that consisted of 26,679 surveys was analyzed. Detecting insufficient efforts responding was based on item response theory procedures.FindingsThe results show that insufficient effort responders are distributed differently to students’ evaluation of teaching effectiveness in higher education levels according to different methods of classifying these levels. The results of this study suggest using a percentage of students’ agreement of 4 or 5 for each item to classify SET levels and deleting IERs before interpreting SET results.Research limitations/implicationsAccording to the results of this study, it is recommended to research the relationships between IER and SET scores and students’ motivation to participate in evaluating teaching effectiveness.Practical implicationsAccording to the results of this study, it is recommended to:1– Exclude the IERs from the dataset before generating SET reports. 2– Use the percentage of 4 (agree) and 5 (strongly agree) satisfactions of SET items to classify and interpret SET results.Originality/valueReviewing the literature shows the absence of studies that explore the distribution of insufficient effort responders according to methods of classifying students’ evaluation of teaching effectiveness in higher education. The results suggest using a percentage of students’ agreement of 4 or 5 for each item to classify SET levels and deleting IERs before interpreting SET results.
Are customers naturally attracted to brands? A core social motives scale for measuring brand engagement
Authors: Llanos Gonzalo R. 
Published: October 2024

PurposeTo extend consumer–brand relationship research to the satisfaction of social needs, we introduce a new construct to assess consumer propensity to develop brand relationships based on the satisfaction of social needs through brands and provide a scale to measure this construct.Design/methodology/approachWe implement a two-stage procedure based on the literature and expert judgments to formulate questions based on questionnaire data, and refinement processes and validation analyses are applied to measure the validity and reliability of the scale.FindingsWe developed a scale for measuring consumer propensity for establishing brand relationships that covers five dimensions: belonging, control, understanding, self-enhancement and trust. The scale was validated and found to be reliable.Research limitations/implicationsThis research could benefit from model testing using samples from outside the USA, thus incorporating the role of culture and considering behavioral outputs.Practical implicationsThe identification and operationalization of the propensity to relate to brands are important in market segmentation for more efficiently deepening brand relationships. Additionally, this conceptualization improves our understanding of the elements that contribute to the relationship between brands and consumers: belonging, control, understanding, self-enhancement and trust.Originality/valueAlthough the consumer–brand relationship is recognized in the literature, the satisfaction of social needs via this relationship has been ignored. This paper aims to enhance our understanding of person–brand relationships by proposing a scheme for analyzing the degree of need satisfaction facilitated by this relationship.
The institutionalization of digital compliance
Authors: Schrödter Armando , Weißenberger Barbara E. 
Published: October 2024

PurposeThis research paper investigates how companies incorporate digital compliance, particularly data security and protection, as a fundamental aspect of corporate digital responsibility (CDR). We address the gap in understanding the institutionalization of digital compliance as a part of CDR.Design/methodology/approachUsing institutional theory, we assess the impact of coercive, mimetic and normative forces on digital compliance. We used survey data from 162 predominantly large German companies and analyzed it through ordinary least squares (OLS) regressions.FindingsMimetic forces, driven by competitor knowledge, substantially affect digital compliance. Normative forces related to professional knowledge are also influential, while coercive forces exerted by customers have no significant impact on the adoption of digital compliance. In a supplemental analysis, the study highlights the moderating role of organizational agility.Research limitations/implicationsCDR is not limited to digital compliance. Future research should explore higher levels of CDR and consider stakeholders beyond customers. The focus on large German companies may limit generalizability.Practical implicationsThe findings stress the importance of understanding competitive landscapes and professional discourses. Managers should be aware of these institutional forces and incorporate them into strategic planning for digital compliance and CDR.Originality/valueThis research extends institutional theory to digital compliance, offering insights into CDR-related corporate behavior and strategy, emphasizing the importance of competitor awareness and professional norms to manage digital risks.
A mediation model analysis of inclusive instructional practices for students with emotional disturbance
Authors: Newton Xiaoxia A. , McKenna John W. , Brigham Frederick J. 
Published: October 2024

AbstractThe relationships among teachers' knowledge, use, and perceived effectiveness of inclusive instructional practices for students with emotional disturbance (ED) has implications for the provision of a free appropriate public education (FAPE). We unpacked these nuanced relationships through mediation analysis. Data for our study came from a broader survey investigation of inclusive instruction for students with ED in one of the northeastern states in the United States. The sample consisted of 176 teachers who were mostly female (85%) with an average of 12 years of teaching experiences. We found that (a) the relationship between teachers' reported knowledge and use of inclusive instructional practices was bidirectional, (b) special education teachers were far more likely to implement specialized instructional practices such as behavioural support and differentiation than general education teachers and (c) there were no reported differences in instructional practices (i.e. general practices) and classroom management between special education and general education teachers. Implications for pre‐service teacher training, professional development and teacher support are discussed.
