Published: March 2024

PurposeThe COVID-19 outbreak disrupted the business environment and severely affected the morale and performance of the employees. Further, the Indian automobile industry witnessed major setbacks and drastically impacted sector in COVID-19. Talent agility is an emerging concept in the field of HRM that will foster innovations and productivity in the automobile industry. Thus, this study aims to explore the barriers to building in-house agile talents in the Indian automobile industry in the new normal.Design/methodology/approachThe barriers of talent agility were identified through a literature review and validated through experts’ opinions. This study used a hybrid approach, which combines Interpretive Structural Modelling-Polarity (ISM-P) and decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) to develop a hierarchical structural model of the barriers, followed by classification into cause and effect groups.FindingsThe result of the multi-method approach identified that shortage of skills and competencies, lack of IT infrastructure, lack of ambidextrous leaders, lack of smart HRM technologies and practices, lack of attractive reward system/career management, poor advanced T&D, poor industry, institute interface and financial constraints are the critical barriers.Practical implicationsIt can provide a strategic roadmap for automobile manufacturers to promote talent agility in the current wave of digitalization (Industry 4.0). This study can help the managers to address and overcome the barrier and hurdles in building talent agility.Originality/valueThis study is unique in that it addresses the contemporary issues related to talent agility in the context of the Indian automobile industry in the current rapidly changing environment. This study developed a holistic integrated ISM(P)-DEMATEL hierarchical framework on the barriers of talent agility indicating inner dependency weights, i.e., the strength of interrelationship between the barriers.

Authors: Klevan Trude , Jonassen Reidun , Borg Marit 
Published: March 2024

Purpose
The aim of this study is to explore the characteristics of what is experienced in mental health recovery-oriented places and how these characteristics can facilitate social connections and participation.

Design/methodology/approach
This qualitative study has an explorative, interpretive and collaborative design. Dyadic interviews and participatory fieldwork observations were used as methods for data generation. Data were analyzed using a collaborative hermeneutic approach.

Findings
Characteristics of recovery-nurturing places involved how concrete and tangible features of place may nurture and enable actions and ways of being with oneself and others. Three broad themes explore the characteristics and how they can enable recovery: nurturing senses, nurturing practical skills and nurturing communication.

Originality/value
This study demonstrates how materiality and recovery are interconnected and expands the understanding of recovery as “in-the-mind processes.” It explores how places and material objects have a recovery-nurturing potential through enabling actions and participation and thereby supporting people in living, storying and restorying their lives.
How does service supply chain flexibility influence responsiveness in service delivery? An empirical analysis of healthcare units
Authors: Prakash Gyan 
Published: March 2024

PurposeThis paper aims to explore the antecedents and consequences of service chain flexibility (SCF) in healthcare service delivery.Design/methodology/approachA structural model was developed based on a literature review. A 29-indicator questionnaire was circulated among service providers in the healthcare system across India, and 253 valid responses were received, corresponding to a response rate of 46%. The research model was assessed using a cross-sectional research design, and the data were analyzed by structural equation modeling using analysis of moment structures (AMOS) software.FindingsService orientation (SO), technology integration (TI), knowledge sharing (KS) and supply chain integration (SCI) were identified as antecedents of SCF, the consequence of which is responsiveness in service delivery (RSD). Furthermore, patient-centered care moderates the relationship between SCF and RSD.Research limitations/implicationsThis paper highlights the impact of SCF on RSD in healthcare organizations. Consideration of the four constructs of SO, TI, KS and SCI as antecedents of SCF and, in turn, RSD may be one of the limitations. Future work may identify other theoretical constructs with potential impacts on SCF and RSD. Furthermore, eight months for data collection could have resulted in early-late response bias. This study was operationalized in India and may reflect political, economic, social, technological, environmental and legal factors unique to India.Practical implicationsThe study provides suggestions to practitioners for building RSD by leveraging SO, TI, KS and SCI in flexibility-driven service chain processes. Recognizing the relationships among these constructs can aid in the timely formulation of corrective actions and patient-centric policies.Social implicationsThis paper highlights how focusing on a SCF can promote RSD. This understanding may aid the design of processes that develop patient-centricity and deliver health as a social good in an effective manner.Originality/valueThe empirical evidence from this study can help hospitals integrate and build flexibility in their functions, thus enabling them to deliver responsiveness in care.
Shock responsiveness of the Philippine social protection system: Three case studies
Authors: Aldaba Fernando T. , Geronimo John Anthony U. 
Published: March 2024

AbstractPhilippine households face large‐scale risks, like natural disasters and inflation, which can threaten their financial stability and push them into poverty. To manage these risks, the Philippine government needs a shock‐responsive social protection system. Several components of such a system already exist, as proven by the country's responses to Typhoon Haiyan, the COVID‐19 pandemic, and the recent food and energy crisis. However, these events also exposed gaps in the Philippine social protection system, particularly in reaching out to unregistered individuals swiftly. The resolution lies in updating and harmonizing social registries, making verification processes interoperable, enhancing delivery platforms (both digital and physical), and ensuring efficient grievance redress systems.
Evaluating water‐quality trends in agricultural watersheds prioritized for management‐practice implementation

Published: March 2024

AbstractMany agricultural watersheds rely on the voluntary use of management practices (MPs) to reduce nonpoint source nutrient and sediment loads; however, the water‐quality effects of MPs are uncertain. We interpreted water‐quality responses from as early as 1985 through 2020 in three agricultural Chesapeake Bay watersheds that were prioritized for MP implementation, namely, the Smith Creek (Virginia), Upper Chester River (Maryland), and Conewago Creek (Pennsylvania) watersheds. We synthesized patterns in MPs, climate, land use, and nutrient inputs to better understand factors affecting nutrient and sediment loads. Relations between MPs and expected water‐quality improvements were not consistently identifiable. The number of MPs increased in all watersheds since the early 2010s, but most monitored nutrient and sediment loads did not decrease. Nutrient and sediment loads increased or remained stable in Smith Creek and the Upper Chester River. Sediment loads and some nutrient loads decreased in Conewago Creek. In Smith Creek, a 36‐year time‐series model suggests that changes in manure affected flow‐normalized total nitrogen loads. We hypothesize that increases in nutrient applications may overshadow some expected MP effects. MPs might have stemmed further water‐quality degradation, but improvements in nutrient loads may rely on reducing manure and fertilizer applications. Our results highlight the importance of assessing MP performance with long‐term monitoring‐based studies.

AbstractBackgroundPemetrexed (PEM) is the primary chemotherapy for non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), showing potential for long‐term disease stability in certain cases. However, studies examining disease control with PEM therapy are lacking. This study aimed to pinpoint clinical traits in patients with NSCLC responding well to PEM therapy, predict factors influencing disease control, and suggest optimal treatment approaches.MethodsA retrospective analysis of patients with NSCLC treated with PEM was performed to compare patients who achieved disease control after treatment with those who did not.ResultsOf 73 patients, 56 (76.7%) achieved disease control with PEM therapy. In the disease control group, a significantly higher proportion of patients exhibited good performance status (PS) and received PEM doses without reduction after the second cycle. Multivariate analysis identified bevacizumab (Bev) noncompliance, PEM dose reduction, and thyroid transcription factor‐1 (TTF‐1) negativity as significant independent risk factors for disease progression during PEM therapy. Additionally, overall survival was significantly longer in the disease control group (p < 0.001).ConclusionsOur findings indicated that maintaining the dose of PEM after the second treatment cycle in patients with NSCLC, along with concurrent use of Bev and the presence of TTF‐1 positivity, could enhance disease control rates and extend survival.

Published: March 2024

AbstractBackgroundAcross the life course, women and girls with learning disabilities and their carers report difficulties in accessing information and support with menstruation, yet their experiences are often overlooked in initiatives to improve menstrual health and wellbeing. Our aim was to collaborate with women with learning disabilities to co‐produce future research priorities in a UK context.MethodsWe undertook a two‐part scoping exercise to explore what is known about this topic from a life course perspective, beginning pre‐menarche and extending to post‐menopause support. This combined a rapid scoping review of the literature since 1980 with a stakeholder consultation where people with learning disabilities, family carers, advocacy groups and staff working across education, health and social care were invited to share their experiences of menstruation support.FindingsUK and international literature provided insight across five narrative themes. Seventy stakeholders took part in our consultation, enabling the identification of five key themes. Findings across both highlight examples of supportive practice and valued resources alongside enduring health inequalities and barriers to menstruation support faced by women and girls with learning disabilities across the life course.ConclusionOur scoping exercise identified multiple gaps in research and practice, ongoing reproductive health inequalities and a need for improved access to peer support, resources and training that take a life course approach. The scoping exercise indicates the need for further empirical research on menstruation and learning disability, with a particular focus on collating people's lived experiences.
Antimicrobial resistance in ocular infection: A review

Published: March 2024

AbstractAntimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global public health threat with significant impact on treatment outcomes. The World Health Organization's Global Action Plan on AMR recommended strengthening the evidence base through surveillance programs and research. Comprehensive, timely data on AMR for organisms isolated from ocular infections are needed to guide treatment decisions and inform researchers and microbiologists of emerging trends. This article aims to provide an update on the development of AMR in ocular organisms, AMR in bacterial ocular infections and on AMR stewardship programs globally. The most common ocular pathogens are Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Haemophilus influenzae in ocular infections. A variety of studies and a few surveillance programs worldwide have reported on AMR in these infections over time. Fluoroquinolone resistance has increased particularly in Asia and North America. For conjunctivitis, the ARMOR cumulative study in the USA reported a slight decrease in resistance to ciprofloxacin. For keratitis, resistance to methicillin has remained stable for S. aureus and CoNS, while resistance to ciprofloxacin has decreased for MRSA globally. Methicillin‐resistance and multidrug resistance are also emerging, requiring ongoing monitoring. Antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) programmes have a critical role in reducing the threat of AMR and improving treatment outcomes. To be successful AMS must be informed by up‐to‐date AMR surveillance data. As a profession it is timely for ophthalmology to act to prevent AMR leading to greater visual loss through supporting surveillance programmes and establishing AMS.
Stories With Blurred Contours: Family Displays of Foster Families and Young Children in Out‐of‐Home Care
Authors: Levander Ulrika 
Published: March 2024

ABSTRACTThe aim of the study was to investigate foster parents' displays and narratives about family life as foster parents of toddlers and preschool children and how these influence the welfare and sense of family belonging for younger children in foster care. Based on qualitative interviews with 16 foster parents in 10 foster families of looked‐after children aged 1–6, narratives about the children, their needs and roles in the foster family were analysed. Various kinds of narratives of the child and foster family were identified, where the child's differentness and the normative ideas of the foster family often were negotiated in ways that blurred the understanding of the children's needs. Various boundary issues affecting the foster family were also visualized. The results suggested that addressing issues of family boundary ambiguity as a difficult feature of foster care would be beneficial. Not only would this provide opportunities to strengthen the internal life and resilience of the foster family, but it would also help visualize the looked‐after children's individual needs and strengthen their position as family members.

AbstractAimsThis study aimed to investigate the resting‐state functional connectivity and topologic characteristics of brain networks in patients with diabetic optic neuropathy (DON).MethodsResting‐state functional magnetic resonance imaging scans were performed on 23 patients and 41 healthy control (HC) subjects. We used independent component analysis and graph theoretical analysis to determine the topologic characteristics of the brain and as well as functional network connectivity (FNC) and topologic properties of brain networks.ResultsCompared with HCs, patients with DON showed altered global characteristics. At the nodal level, the DON group had fewer nodal degrees in the thalamus and insula, and a greater number in the right rolandic operculum, right postcentral gyrus, and right superior temporal gyrus. In the internetwork comparison, DON patients showed significantly increased FNC between the left frontoparietal network (FPN‐L) and ventral attention network (VAN). Additionally, in the intranetwork comparison, connectivity between the left medial superior frontal gyrus (MSFG) of the default network (DMN) and left putamen of auditory network was decreased in the DON group.ConclusionDON patients altered node properties and connectivity in the DMN, auditory network, FPN‐L, and VAN. These results provide evidence of the involvement of specific brain networks in the pathophysiology of DON.

Published: March 2024

AbstractCatch‐and‐release angling is common in recreational fisheries, but post‐release mortality (PRM) may be high. We conducted a controlled field experiment to estimate mortality of released snapper Chrysophrys auratus. Recreational fishers caught 960 snapper from three depth strata (<15, 15–25, 26–40 m) that were either lip‐hooked, foul‐hooked or gut‐hooked. A bottom longline vessel caught 162 lip‐hooked fish in shallow water to serve as controls. Fish were held in 15‐m deep holding nets. All control fish and 80% of treatment fish survived, with anatomical hook site and capture depth significantly predicting mortality. Probability of mortality was lowest for lip‐hooked fish in shallow water (5 m = 0.00, 95% CI [0.00, 0.03]), but increased rapidly to 20 m (0.24, 95% CI [0.2, 0.3]). Mortality of foul‐hooked fish increased steadily with depth from 0.05 (95% CI [0.00, 0.78]) at 5 m to 0.65 (95% CI [0.13, 0.96]) at 40 m. Gut‐hooking resulted in high mortality at all depths but a low sample size resulted in high uncertainty of estimates. Our results indicate that snapper PRM can be reduced by fishing in shallow water and by mitigating gut‐hooking, possibly by using large circle hooks.

AbstractBackgroundDecisions about driving for individuals living with dementia (ILWD) can be challenging. There are limited evidence‐based person‐centred interventions in the United Kingdom that support decisions about transitioning to not driving or guidelines for developing decision aids for ILWD. This study aimed to understand the important features of a decision aid through the cultural adaptation of Australian dementia and driving decision aid (DDDA) for ILWD residing in the United Kingdom.MethodsThis qualitative study was theoretically underpinned by a person‐centred framework and conducted over three stages: (1) Development of a draft UK‐specific DDDA; (2) semistructured interviews with ILWD and an online survey with stakeholders to obtain their views on a draft UK DDDA and (3) content analysis and synthesis of qualitative data to inform the final version of the decision aid.ResultsEleven ILWD and six of their spouses participated in interviews, and 102 stakeholders responded to an online survey. The four broad features identified as important to include in a decision aid for drivers living with dementia were: a structured and interactive format; positive and supportive messaging and presentation; relevant and concise content and choice‐centred. The perceived benefits of the decision aid were identified as supporting conversations, enhancing collaborative decision making and enabling agency with decisions about driving and future mobility options.ConclusionsDecision aids that are underpinned by interactive choice‐driven questions enhance a person‐centred approach to decisions about driving. Positively framing decision aids through the presentation and content can facilitate engagement with the decision‐making process about driving. The findings have implications for the development of decision aids designed for ILWD on other important health and social topics.Patient and Public InvolvementAdvocating for the development of a UK DDDA were ILWD. Healthcare professionals contributed to the development of a draft UK DDDA. Former and current drivers living with dementia, family members, healthcare professionals and other support networks of ILWD participated in interviews or an online survey which informed the final version of the UK DDDA.

AbstractObjectivesDolutegravir + lamivudine (DTG + 3TC) is a first‐line regimen for people with HIV. However, there are still concerns about its efficacy in people with tuberculosis (TB)/HIV due to the lack of available evidence and drug–drug interaction with rifampicin.MethodsA single‐centre retrospective observational case series was conducted in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China. We included all people with TB/HIV on combined use of once‐daily (q.d.) dosing DTG + 3TC and rifampicin (RIF)‐containing anti‐TB regimens between 2020 and 2022. HIV‐RNA, CD4 cell counts were collected and analysed.ResultsIn all, 21 people with HIV (PWH) were included in this study. All the PWH were treatment‐naïve and told to take DTG + 3TC q.d. with food. The median age was 53 years, and 71.43% were male. A total of 71.43% PWH had baseline viral load (VL) > 100 000 copies/mL, and 33.33% had baseline VL greater than 500 000 copies/mL. Only one PWH had CD4 cell count greater than 200 cells/μL, and the median CD4 count was 20 cells/μL. A total of 16 PWH started DTG + 3TC after initiation of the RIF‐based anti‐TB regimen, and the other five PWH initiated DTG + 3TC before the treatment of TB. All the PWH had at least 24 weeks of follow‐up visits and all of the TB treatments were successful. A total of 20 PWH (95.24%) achieved viral suppression (VL <50 copies/mL). All detected viral loads between weeks 24 and 48 were less than 200 copies/mL. Among the PWH who started DTG + 3TC after the initiation of RIF‐based anti‐TB regimen, all achieved viral suppression by week 24 except the non‐suppressed PWH. CD4 counts were greatly improved after antiretroviral treatment: the median CD4 counts were raised from 20 to 171 cells/μL at week 48. No serious adverse events were reported.ConclusionsThis case series preliminarily validates the efficacy of DTG + 3TC q.d. with food when combined with RIF‐based anti‐TB regimens in people with TB/HIV.
