Understanding collaboration beyond contracting: the relationship between inter-organizational collaboration and hard/soft control
Authors: Frid Kristina , Funck Elin K. , Glenngård Anna H. 
Published: August 2024

PurposeThis paper aims to extend insights about the relationship between inter-organizational collaboration and approaches to control from the perspective of decision-makers. We investigate the relationship between approaches to control and intended forms of integration between actors responsible for solving the complex problem of integrated person-centered care for elderly with diverse and significant needs.Design/methodology/approachThe empirical study is based on a content analysis of contractual agreements. We have analyzed a total of 118 collaboration agreements and associative documents between all Swedish regions and municipalities.FindingsThe study shows that intended integration is subject to remarkable variation in intended forms of inter-organizational collaboration in this Swedish case. The paper illustrates that decision-makers’ intentions with proposed collaboration in each given context are important for the chosen approach to control. Regardless of intended forms of integration, our study suggests that an imminent soft approach to control is expressed alongside limited signs of hard control. Various forms of intended integration can be managed by the two approaches simultaneously insofar as the agreements appear to have a two-sided purpose.Originality/valueOur paper proposes an empirically driven taxonomy of intended forms of integration initiatives. The taxonomy provides resources for studies about how collaboration can be managed when it is stipulated by national legislation but local self-governance gives actors considerable freedom to decide on how to organize and manage services. By presenting the taxonomy and relating this to approaches of control, our iterative study builds on and adds to a recent stream of research arguing that the relationship between collaboration and approaches to control may by fuzzier and more complex than originally thought.

Authors: Pereira Ricardo , Reis Ingrid Weingärtner , Ulbricht Vânia , Santos Neri dos 
Published: August 2024

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between academic writing and generative artificial intelligence (AI).

Design/methodology/approach
This paper is characterized as exploratory and descriptive, with a qualitative approach. Two approaches were used: the first, a narrative review of the literature with a systematic search from which a data collection stage was carried out using asynchronous interviews by means of an online questionnaire.

Findings
The results indicate that generative AI should be seen as a complementary tool for creative and critical academic writing. The data collected also highlighted issues related to academic dishonesty and the new type of plagiarism – plagiarism made possible by technologies – as well as issues of authorship and legitimacy of work carried out with AI and the loss of reflective and critical thinking and creativity.

Research limitations/implications
The considerable increase in resources using AI in all dimensions of human life.

Practical implications
The impact that the use of generative AIs can have on the creation of knowledge and the dissemination of scientific research.

Social implications
The impact that the use of generative AIs can have on the creation of knowledge and on the dissemination of scientific research.

Originality/value
The need for academia to anticipate the use of AI in academic writing and to incorporate its benefits into this process, especially considering researchers in training.
Understaffed and beleaguered: a national survey of chiefs of police about the post-George Floyd era
Authors: del Pozo Brandon , Rouhani Saba , Clark M.H. , Atkins Danielle , Andraka-Christou Barbara , Martins Kaitlin F. 
Published: August 2024

PurposeThe 2020 murder of George Floyd resulted in challenges to policing in the United States of America, but little is known about how police chiefs perceive them. At the same time, chiefs of police wield great influence over public perceptions of crime and disorder, the state of their profession, the laws and policies that govern the conduct of police officers and municipal public safety budgets. It is therefore critical to understand how police perceive the changes to their profession post-Floyd.Design/methodology/approachThis study surveyed a randomly selected national sample of 276 municipal chiefs of police. Items probed resignations, recruitment, efforts to defund departments, community support, officer morale, suspects’ likelihood of obeying lawful orders and career risks that could inhibit proactive police work. It examined associations between perceptions and Census Bureau region, length of tenure as chief, size of police department, population served and the urban or rural designation of the jurisdiction.FindingsChiefs overwhelmingly reported recruiting qualified candidates had become much harder, and the present risks of proactive police work encourage inaction. Chiefs of agencies in the Northeast perceived more challenges than those in the South. Respondents with more years of experience were less likely to perceive the current situation as dire. Approximately 13.5% reported an attempt to defund their department, 56.8% of which yielded some success. Our study suggests an increase in the number and scope of challenges perceived by chiefs of police. Results vary by region and police chief years of experience.Originality/valueThis study provides researchers and practitioners with the perspectives of chiefs about the post-Floyd era that influence their decisions, policies and initiatives.
A practical path planning method for optimal repair paths between multiple small-size defects
Authors: Li Yongfeng , Pan Yaotong , Yang Wenqiang , Xu Xiaochang , Xu Junpeng , Zhang Lei 
Published: August 2024

Purpose
This study aims to solve the problem of repair path planning between multiple small-size defects in the field of additive manufacturing (AM) repair by using Python-based ant colony algorithm (ACO). The optimal parameter combination scheme is obtained by discussing the influencing factors of parameters in the ACO.

Design/methodology/approach
The effects of the information heuristic factor α, the expected heuristic factor ß and the pheromone volatile factor ρ on the simulation results were investigated by designing a three-factor and three-level orthogonal experiment. The fast convergence of ACO in finding the optimal solution of multiple small-size defect repair path problem is proved by comparing the simulation results with those of genetic algorithm (GA) on the same data set.

Findings
The ACO can effectively solve the repair path planning problem between multiple small-size defects by optimizing the parameters. In the case of 50 defect locations, the simulation results of the ACO with optimized parameters are 159.8 iterations and 3,688 average path lengths, while the GA has 4,027.2 average path lengths under the same data set and the same number of iterations, and by comparison, it is proved that the ACO can find the optimal solution quickly in the small-size defects repair path planning problem, which greatly improves the efficiency of defect repair.

Originality/value
The parameter-optimized ACO can be quickly applied to the planning problem of repair paths between multiple small-size defects in the field of AM repair, which can better improve the defect repair efficiency and reduce the waste of resources.

Published: August 2024

Abstract

While genetic diversity is theorised to increase the restoration success of degraded plant populations, previous studies examining its impacts on restoration outcomes have yielded mixed results.

We hypothesise that the importance of genetic diversity for the performance of plants targeted for restoration increases with environmental stress and varies with specific plant traits related to different plant successive life stages. To test this, we conducted a fully factorial common garden experiment, crossing salinity and genetic diversity under low‐ and high‐nitrogen conditions on the growth and reproduction of Scirpus mariqueter, a threatened endemic saltmarsh plant in the Yangtze Estuary.

The impacts of genetic diversity varied across stress gradients and metrics. Under high stress (high salinity, low nutrients), greater diversity enhanced reproductive traits such as clonal growth and seed production, but not under low stress. Plant growth traits showed no diversity effects regardless of stress.

Synthesis: Our results highlight the importance of considering intraspecific genetic diversity in ecological restoration and help explain the context‐dependent effects of diversity.
Utilising co‐design to develop a lived experience informed personal safety tool within a mental health community rehabilitation setting
Authors: Francis Anna , Le Amily , Adams‐Leask Karen , Procter Nicholas 
Published: August 2024

AbstractIntroductionMental health personal safety tools aim to promote a recovery focus and empower an individualised approach to consumer care. These clinical tools are predominantly utilised in acute mental health settings with a person during or straight after a crisis. There is currently a gap in the literature regarding the preparation of personal safety tools in non‐acute mental health settings. This descriptive article discusses the learnings and outcomes from a co‐designed project that aimed to develop a personal safety tool suitable for a community mental health rehabilitation setting.MethodsSeven people with lived experience engaging within a mental health community‐based rehabilitation service were recruited through convenience sampling to participate in the co‐design project. A focus group approach was utilised during four group meetings to develop a personal safety tool template. Experiences and ideas about safety planning were transcribed during meetings and thematic analysis extracted key themes. Five steps underpinned the co‐design process that included identifying the need, establishing the co‐design group, planning, design and development, and review and closure.Consumer and community involvementConsumer involvement commenced at step two of the co‐design process. The completed personal safety tool was designed with consumer input and review.FindingsThe personal safety tool consisted of nine intervention components. Four key themes emerged from focus group meetings that informed the content of the tool: (i) ensuring the personal safety tool is individualised and meaningful, (ii) promoting exploration of personal strengths and interests, (iii) enabling opportunities to learn self‐management skills, and (iv) treating the personal safety tool as a dynamic and adaptable tool.ConclusionFindings suggest that a personal safety tool targeted to a mental health community‐based rehabilitation setting should have an individualised and preventative focus to mental health care. Embedding co‐design principles can support opportunities for meaningful consumer engagement and establishing consumer and clinician partnerships.
Unearthing the behavioural factors influencing commodity futures contracts adoption in agriculture—A systematic literature review
Authors: Wever Hendrik , Michels Marius , Musshoff Oliver 
Published: August 2024

AbstractFarmers' adoption of commodity futures and options contracts (CFCs) in agriculture shows substantial variation across different regions. Sociodemographic and farm characteristics fail to fully account for these observed differences. Hence, research focussing on understanding the behavioural factors that influence the decision to adopt CFCs is gaining popularity. Although past research has addressed these behavioural factors, a comprehensive synthesis is needed. This study provides a systematic literature review to systematically categorise, taxonomically standardise and summarise behavioural factors influencing farmers' decisions to adopt CFCs. Results are reported via the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta‐Analyses (PRISMA) scheme. In the systematic literature review, 41 usable studies were identified. The identified behavioural factors were classified into eleven core behavioural factors and grouped into three categories: dispositional, social and cognitive. In addition, a systematic literature map was created, which shows behavioural factors' inclusion frequency and share of being statistically significant in the identified studies. These approaches offer a framework for researchers and practical insights for trainers, policymakers and farmers. The results could be used, for instance, to develop strategies to promote more informed decision among farmers regarding the use of CFCs.
Determinants of IPO Overpricing
Authors: Rossovski Jacqueline , Lucey Brian , Helbing Pia 
Published: August 2024

AbstractThis paper outlines the phenomenon of negative first‐day IPO returns. Using a comprehensive sample of IPOs in the United States between 2000 and 2020, we find that 21.61% exhibit negative first‐day returns, making this a common feature of the US IPO market. The key findings show that the IPO mechanism is important. A larger deal size and proportion of over‐allotment shares reduces the probability of IPO overpricing, while downward offer price adjustments increase the likelihood of negative first‐day returns. Despite distinct differences, the analysis reveals shared characteristics between IPO underpricing and overpricing, providing nuanced insights into IPO pricing. Neither market timing nor agency issues significantly affect IPO overpricing.

AbstractObjectiveTo determine whether mandatory participation by hospitals in bundled payments for lower extremity joint replacement (LEJR) was associated with changes in outcome disparities for patients dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid.Data Sources and Study SettingWe used Medicare claims data for beneficiaries undergoing LEJR in the United States between 2011 and 2017.Study DesignWe conducted a retrospective observational study using a differences‐in‐differences method to compare changes in outcome disparities between dual‐eligible and non‐dual eligible beneficiaries after hospital participation in the Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement (CJR) program. The primary outcome was LEJR complications. Secondary outcomes included 90‐day readmissions and mortality.Data Extraction MethodsWe identified hospitals in the US market areas eligible for CJR. We included beneficiaries in the intervention group who received joint replacement at hospitals in markets randomized to participate in CJR. The comparison group included patients who received joint replacement at hospitals in markets who were eligible for CJR but randomized to control.Principal FindingsThe study included 1,603,555 Medicare beneficiaries (mean age, 74.6 years, 64.3% women, 11.0% dual‐eligible). Among participant hospitals, complications decreased between baseline and intervention periods from 11.0% to 10.1% for dual‐eligible and 7.0% to 6.4% for non‐dual‐eligible beneficiaries. Among nonparticipant hospitals, complications decreased from 10.3% to 9.8% for dual‐eligible and 6.7% to 6.0% for non‐dual‐eligible beneficiaries. In adjusted analysis, CJR participation was associated with a reduced difference in complications between dual‐eligible and non‐dual‐eligible beneficiaries (−0.9 percentage points, 95% CI −1.6 to −0.1). The reduction in disparities was observed among hospitals without prior experience in a voluntary LEJR bundled payment model. There were no differential changes in 90‐day readmissions or mortality.ConclusionsMandatory participation in a bundled payment program was associated with reduced disparities in joint replacement complications for Medicare beneficiaries with low income. To our knowledge, this is the first evidence of reduced socioeconomic disparities in outcomes under value‐based payments.
UnTWISTing the BALS: A study of predictive accuracy of clinical scoring tools for testicular torsion identification in adults
Authors: Schultz‐Swarthfigure Chase T , Kelly Anne‐Maree 
Published: August 2024

AbstractObjectiveTesticular torsion is an uncommon but time‐critical condition in EDs. If the diagnosis is missed or delayed, there are significant medicolegal and patient fertility implications. Scoring tools are advocated for use in children but have limited validation in adults. The aim of the present study was to explore the predictive accuracy of the testicular torsion scoring tools, Testicular Workup for Ischemia and Suspected Torsion (TWIST) and Boettcher Alert Score (BALS), in adult patients with a final ED diagnosis of torsion.MethodsAll patients with an ED working diagnosis of testicular torsion were identified retrospectively. Data collected from digital medical records included demographics, processes of care and clinical information. The outcome of interest was the predictive performance of the scores for a confirmed diagnosis of testicular torsion as adjudicated by an urologist or a surgeon.ResultsFifty‐four patients had complete clinical data, of whom 13 had confirmed torsion. The TWIST score had a high area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUROC) of 0.89 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.78–0.999) with a score of 6–7 corresponding to a positive predictive value (PPV) of 80% (95% CI = 38–96%). The BAL score had an AUROC of 0.79 (95% CI = 0.69–0.92). PPV for a score ≥2 was 38% (95% CI = 22–56%).ConclusionA high TWIST score correlates to a high likelihood of torsion and can inform surgical decision‐making in the absence of US.
