Social capital and business strategy
Authors: Lam Brian , Li Lina Z. , Song Byron Y. , Yao Li 
Published: August 2024

Purpose
This study aims to investigate the influence of social capital on firms’ business strategies, focusing on Miles and Snow (1978) dichotomy between “prospector” and “defender” strategies.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors perform multivariate regression analyses using a sample of US firms spanning the period from 1995 to 2021. The authors use a two-stage least squares model to alleviate endogeneity concerns and perform several cross-sectional tests and path analyses.

Findings
The authors find a significant and positive association between social capital and defender-type business strategies. Results from cross-sectional analyses reveal that this relationship is more pronounced in highly competitive product markets and among firms led by highly qualified CEOs. In addition, the authors find that CEO compensation mediates the effect of social capital on business strategy. Overall, the results suggest that low social capital regions foster prospector strategies due to managers’ self-maximizing incentives. Finally, the authors find that business strategy acts as a mediating factor, connecting social capital to firms’ financial reporting outcomes.

Social implications
In light of recent public concerns over declining social capital in major economies and the growing globalization and multiculturism in societies, the findings are of interest to policymakers and the wider society by highlighting the far-reaching implications of social capital on businesses and the capital market.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study documents the first empirical evidence on the association between a society’s social capital and firms’ business strategies. The study contributes to the research on the determinants of a firm’s business strategy and extends the literature on the relationship between social capital and firm behavior.
Firm survivability during long-term disruptions: an adaptation-based view
Authors: Echefaj Khadija , Cherrafi Anass , Charkaoui Abdelkabir , Gruchmann Tim , Ivanov Dmitry 
Published: August 2024

Purpose
The COVID-19 pandemic showed that preestablished contingency plans and resilience practices were insufficient to cope with long-term and global disruptions. Companies thus struggled to develop capabilities that ensure their survivability during similar crises. Building on the adaptation-based view (ABV) of supply chain resilience, this study aims to offer an in-depth perspective on survivability in supply chains (SCs).

Design/methodology/approach
The paper empirically tests related relationships between adaptation capabilities and practices that ensure operational continuity. Responses from 252 organisations were collected and analysed using partial least squares structural equation modelling.

Findings
The results empirically support the ABV’s theoretical propositions and assess the possibilities of intertwining, digitalisation, a circular economy and maturity for the survivability of SCs.

Research limitations/implications
The derived insights are attractive for managers and researchers to foster supply chain survivability and contribute to the increasing efforts of middle-range theorising in logistics and supply chain management research.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is one of the first studies to define factors enhancing the survivability of SCs through the lens of the ABV.

AbstractRural communities have unique mental health needs and challenges which are often related to the uniqueness of the community itself. On a per‐capita basis, the investment in rural mental health research is far less than that in urban communities. Added to this, rural communities are often at risk of researchers, based in large urban universities, visiting, conducting the research with minimal engagement with local stakeholders and limited understanding of the community's social‐service‐environmental context. Often this research leaves no visible benefit to the community with respect to increased knowledge, resources or community capacity. This commentary is based on the insights of a panel of authors from 9 countries, each with extensive experience of rural mental health research and work. And it seeks to stimulate the discourse on responsible rural mental health practice. The aim of this commentary is to provide a reference on research practice for novice and experienced researchers on rural mental health research and practice, to assist policymakers, government and funding bodies to establish appropriate standards and guidelines for rural mental health research, and support rural communities to advocate for equity of funding and sustainable research as they engage with researchers, funders and governments. The 10 standards in this declaration will help guide researchers toward research that is beneficial to rural communities and also help develop the local community's research capability, which ultimately will serve to enhance the mental health and well‐being of rural communities.

SummaryThe Glasgow prognostic score (GPS) and CAR‐HEMATOTOX (CAR‐HT) score identify multiple myeloma (MM) patients at high risk for immune‐mediated toxicity and early mortality with cellular immunotherapy. However, their association with outcomes in patients receiving T‐cell redirecting bispecific antibodies (bsAb) is unclear. This multi‐centre retrospective study examines the association of baseline GPS and CAR‐HT scores with outcomes in 126 MM patients treated with bsAb. Overall, 19% were identified as GPS high risk but did not experience increased toxicity or mortality. Conversely, high‐risk CAR‐HT patients had a higher incidence of infections and inferior survival, suggesting a need for aggressive infection mitigation strategies.

SummaryAberrant alternative splicing (AS) contributes to leukemogenesis, but reports on the clinical and biological implications of aberrant AS in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) remain limited. Here, we used RNA‐seq to analyse AS in AML cells from 341 patients, comparing them to healthy CD34+ haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Our findings highlight distinct AS patterns in the nuclear transcription factor Y subunit alpha (NFYA) gene, with two main isoforms: NFYA‐L (Long) and NFYA‐S (Short), differing in exon 3 inclusion. Patients with lower NFYA‐L but higher NFYA‐S expression, termed NFYA‐S predominance, displayed more favourable characteristics and better outcomes following intensive chemotherapy, regardless of age and European LeukemiaNet risk classification, compared to those with higher NFYA‐L but lower NFYA‐S expression, termed NFYA‐L predominance. The prognostic effects were validated using The Cancer Genome Atlas cohort. Transcriptome analysis revealed upregulated cell cycle genes in NFYA‐S predominant cases, resembling those of active HSCs, demonstrating relative chemosensitivity. Conversely, NFYA‐L predominant cases, as observed in KMT2A‐rearranged leukaemia, were associated with relative chemoresistance. NFYA‐S overexpression in OCI‐AML3 cells promoted cell proliferation, S‐phase entry and increased cytarabine sensitivity, suggesting its clinical and therapeutic relevance in AML. Our study underscores NFYA AS as a potential prognostic biomarker in AML.

ObjectivesThe risk of postoperative bleeding is high after gastric endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) in patients continuously treated with antithrombotic agents (ATAs). The effectiveness of endoscopic hand suturing (EHS) on bleeding after gastric ESD was investigated in patients at high risk of delayed bleeding.MethodsPatients with neoplasms ≤2 cm who underwent gastric ESD and continued to receive perioperative ATAs were enrolled in this multicenter phase II study. The mucosal defect was closed with EHS after removing the lesion. Postoperative bleeding rate was assessed for 3–4 postoperative weeks as a primary outcome measure. The technical success of EHS and adverse events were also assessed. Based on expected and threshold postoperative bleeding rates of 10% and 25%, respectively, we aimed to include 48 patients in the study.ResultsA total of 49 patients were enrolled in the study, and 43 patients were finally registered as the per‐protocol set. The postoperative bleeding rate was 7.0% (3/43 patients; the upper limit of one‐sided 95% confidence interval [CI], 17.1% and 97.5% CI, 19.1%). The upper limits of the CI were below the threshold value (25%), and the postoperative bleeding rate was below the expected value (10%). The technical EHS success rate, closure maintenance rate on postoperative day 3, and postoperative subclinical bleeding rate were 100%, 83%, and 2%, respectively. No severe adverse events related to EHS were observed.ConclusionsEndoscopic hand suturing may prevent postoperative bleeding in patients undergoing gastric ESD while being treated continuously with ATAs (UMIN000038140).
Differences in fisher demographics and fishing behaviour from concurrent phone‐recall and smartphone app surveys of recreational angling in south‐western Australia
Authors: Trinnie Fabian I. , Ryan Karina L. 
Published: August 2024

AbstractTraditional methods for collecting robust samples of recreational effort and catch data from offsite mail or telephone surveys are becoming increasingly difficult to obtain. Smartphone applications (apps) that allow recreational fishers to report their effort and catch are a potentially viable data collection tool, but may be biased. We evaluated demographics, effort, and catch of freshwater anglers in south‐west Western Australia by comparing independent data from concurrent phone‐recall and app‐diary surveys for a 12‐month period in 2017–2018. Survey modes differed, with higher proportions of app respondents angling in freshwater and being avid anglers. For both survey modes, unweighted mean effort (days fished) was higher in dams than rivers, but was higher from the phone‐recall survey for dams and rivers. The unweighted distribution of kept and released catches (number of fish per angler) of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and redfin (Perca fluviatilis) were similar between survey modes, with higher retention of redfin and higher release of rainbow trout. Kept and released rates of freshwater cobbler (Tandanus bostocki) and brown trout (Salmo trutta) were less common in both survey modes. Lower response rates and higher survey participation by avid anglers (≥20 days per year) from the app‐diary survey may bias survey data. Such bias needs to be addressed when using digital data collection methods, along with improving recruitment and retention of app participants.
Multiplicities and fluidity in the networked relationships of migrant academics in Britain
Authors: Aydemir Mücahit 
Published: August 2024

AbstractIncreasing internationalization and marketization of higher education, global research collaboration, and staff mobility place academics' networking practices at the centre of higher education systems. Migrant academics are conceptualized with different network types including personal, local and transnational family and friendship networks. However, this research aims to understand the boundaries between different types of participants' networked relationships. The data of this paper comes from a larger research project on transnational family relationships of migrant academics conducted between 2018 and 2022. Life story interviews with 45 migrant academics from 27 different national backgrounds working at British universities were conducted. Additionally, sociogram maps are used as embedded in qualitative interviews. Migration background (as European or non‐European countries); gender; age; the length of the stay in the UK; academic position/contract type; annual income level and marital/relationship status were considered while forming the sample. The findings reveal that network forms and structures do not determine the resources and benefits of relationships; rather, individuals' actions over a time period and the meanings they attribute shape the positions of an alter (other actors that the focal person have connection with) within the personal network structure. As such, actions and meanings regarding those actions can bring one forward or backward in the personal network hierarchy. The boundaries regarding the content of these networks are usually blurred in relation to time, relationality and human agency attributing specific sets of meanings to certain relationships. The findings of this research translate into specific contributions to the discussions in migration and social network research. That is, research findings emphasized that different types of networks shaping participants' lives and migratory experiences are far from being stable and fixed, rather, they are characterized by being transmissive and dynamic. It is revealed that none of the network categories are homogenous, stable and fixed in terms of the content of the relationships. This adds to Emirbayer and Goodwin's (1994) discussions around the ‘form’ and the ‘content’ of networks. This paper underscores the significance of the historical settings, dynamism and the content of each relationship in understanding individual networks.
Infective endocarditis outcomes at a tertiary hospital in Western Australia: a retrospective cohort study from 2016 to 2021
Authors: Lawson Eli , Jacques Angela , Italiano Claire , Robinson James O. 
Published: August 2024

AbstractBackgroundInfective endocarditis (IE) is a severe infection with considerable mortality. It is associated with geographical variation, complicating diagnosis and treatment of patients in a standardised manner.AimTo evaluate the characteristics and management outcomes of patients with IE in Royal Perth Hospital (RPH).MethodsA single‐centre, retrospective cohort study. Data were collected from medical records of 131 patients with a diagnosis of IE admitted to RPH between 2016 and 2021.ResultsEighty‐four patients with definite IE were included for analysis. The median age of patients was 51.5 years and 77.4% were male. Compared to the general Australian population, there was disproportionately greater representation of Indigenous Australians (21.4%), those with a history of injecting drug use (IDU) (27.4%), rheumatic heart disease (14.3%) and previous IE (13.1%). The most commonly affected valve was the mitral valve in 46.4% of patients, and the most common pathogen was Staphylococcus aureus in 47.6% of patients. Twelve‐month mortality was 16.7%, with significantly increased mortality in those treated non‐surgically (25.6% vs 7.3%, P = 0.025). Factors associated with undergoing surgery included the presence of aortic valve disease, perivalvular extension of infection and infection with Enterococcus faecalis, whereas IDU, tricuspid valve disease and S. aureus infection were associated with non‐surgical management. Adherence to multidisciplinary team review was 75.0%, and surgical management was performed in 70.7% of patients meeting an indication for surgery.ConclusionIE mortality rates remain high, particularly in patients who do not undergo surgical management. Streamlined MDT assessment and referral for surgical management where appropriate is necessary to improve outcomes.

Authors: Ramsay Lynette , Eberhardt Christina , Schoster Angelika 
Published: August 2024

AbstractBackgroundReports of leptospirosis in horses are limited.ObjectivesTo describe the clinical and diagnostic findings of acute systemic leptospirosis in horses.AnimalsEleven client‐owned horses presented to an equine hospital because of acute onset of disease between 2015 and 2023.MethodsRetrospective case series. Horses diagnosed with leptospirosis by 1 or more of urine PCR, serologic microscopic agglutination test (MAT), and histopathology.ResultsCommon clinical signs included lethargy (10), anorexia (10), fever (9), tachypnea (9), abnormal lung sounds (9), and epistaxis (6). Acute kidney injury was present in all cases. Evidence of pulmonary hemorrhage and liver disease was found in 8 (73%) and 6 (55%) horses, respectively. In 6 (55%) horses, kidneys, lungs, and liver were affected. Urine quantitative polymerase chain reaction for detection of pathogenic Leptospira spp. was positive in 6 (55%) cases. On serology Leptospira interrogans serovar Australis, Autumnalis, and Bratislava accounted for 86% of all titers ≥1 : 800. Overall case fatality rate was 4/11 (36%). Main findings on necropsy were tubular necrosis, interstitial nephritis, hemorrhage in the alveoli, pulmonary edema, periportal hepatitis and necrosis, cholestasis, and cholangitis.Conclusions and Clinical ImportanceLeptospirosis should be considered as a differential diagnosis in horses with evidence of acute systemic inflammation and acute renal injury, epistaxis, or hepatic disease. For increased likelihood of identifying positive cases, both MAT serology and urine PCR should be performed.
Sherlock Holmes, the Chronologists, and the Cocaine
Authors: Nelles William 
Published: August 2024

ABSTRACTA distinctive school of “Sherlockian scholarship” has grown up around the Sherlock Holmes series, one corollary of which is that a consistent chronology of Holmes's life can be assembled by cross‐referencing the datable events in the stories. Holmes's use of cocaine throughout the series provides a test case for analyzing the consequences of the Chronologists' emphasis on the biographical sequences they reconstruct from the texts.
Analysing Stylistic Differences between Orchestras: an Empirical Study of the ‘Viennese Rhythm’ in the Vienna Philharmonic's Recordings of The Blue Danube
Authors: Zhou Danny , Yang Jian 
Published: August 2024

ABSTRACTPerformances of the same piece can differ from one another in many ways. Nevertheless, few scholars have attempted to investigate stylistic differences between orchestras. This article explores in what ways and to what extent the Vienna Philharmonic – an orchestra widely regarded as one of the world's most distinctive – performs metrical rhythm differently from other professional orchestras. It presents findings from an empirical analysis of the timing of the ‘Viennese rhythm’, a rhythmic pattern characterised by the shortening of the first beat and the lengthening of the second in the performance of Viennese waltzes. The methodology employs computer‐assisted techniques to analyse beat lengths in 30 recordings of two excerpts from The Blue Danube. The results indicate that the Vienna Philharmonic tends to use the Viennese rhythm more frequently and to a greater extent than other professional orchestras. This tendency enhances expressivity and heightens the sense of dance motion. As a result, in the Vienna Philharmonic's performances, metrical rhythm is far more than mechanical reproduction of a preordained set of time divisions, becoming instead a spontaneous expressive device which creates the sensuous embodiment of a durational process. This research shows that the way in which the Vienna Philharmonic plays metrical rhythm forms an integral part of their style, regardless of conductor. The article offers new insights into stylistic differences between orchestras and paves the way for a deeper investigation of performance styles in orchestral music.
