Authors: Saglam Latif , Coskun Osman , Kale Aysin , Gayretli Ozcan 
Published: April 2024

Background:
The anatomic features of the third occipital nerve (TON) are the least studied among the occipital nerves. This study aimed to analyze the anatomic features and potential compression points of the TON.

Methods:
The posterior neck and scalp of 39 cadavers were dissected. The TON was carefully followed from the emerging point from C2-C3 vertebrae distally. Its muscular investments were detected. The determined points were marked superficially and measured according to external occipital protuberance with Image J software.

Results:
The TON revealed 4 different potential entrapment points along its course. The most proximal point was between the C2 and C3 vertebrae. The second and third points were at their piercing points of semispinalis capitis and splenius capitis muscles, respectively. The final point was at its penetrating point of the trapezius muscle. The TON did not pierce the semispinalis capitis muscle on 6 sides, and pierced this muscle from 3 different points by splitting into 3 branches on 1 side. On 5 sides, the TON split into 2 branches and perforated the splenius capitis muscle from 2 different points.

Conclusions:
There were 4 potential compression points regarding the TON. These entrapment points and variations of the TON may play a significant role in understanding the reason for TON-related headaches and the treatment of headaches caused by the TON.

The Group A Streptococcus, also known as Streptococcus pyogenes, is a human pathogen causing various infections, ranging from mild, such as tonsillitis and impetigo, to severe and invasive conditions like septicemia and necrotizing fasciitis. Despite a decline in incidence and severity during the 20th century due to antibiotics, there has been a reported increase in severe cases since the 1980s in industrialized countries.
This summary highlights a case of invasive Group A Streptococcus infection in a 28-year-old diagnosed at the microbiology laboratory of the Mohammed V Military Training Hospital in Rabat, Morocco.
A 28-year-old patient, with a history of chickenpox, presented with acute febrile oligoarthritis. Following a recent flu-like syndrome and febrile tonsillitis, the patient experienced asymmetric inflammatory oligoarthralgia affecting the left knee, left ankle, and right shoulder, accompanied by functional impairment of the left lower limb. Upon admission, clinical examination revealed swelling, positive patellar tap, and sternal involvement. Laboratory and imaging findings indicated an abscessed collection in the left knee and anterior mediastinitis. Emergency aspirations revealed Group A Streptococcus, specifically Streptococcus pyogenes, leading to a diagnosis of septic arthritis. Dual antibiotic therapy and knee joint drainage resulted in symptom resolution after 45 days.
The rise in severe Group A Streptococcus infection underscores the need for early detection and treatment. Widely sharing the French High Council for Public Health’s antibiotic prophylaxis recommendations is crucial for awareness. Collaborating between clinicians and microbiologists is essential for effective management.
Some newHaliclonaspecies (Demospongiae, Haplosclerida) from British Columbia Shallow Waters and a Re-Description ofHaliclona mollis(Lambe, 1893)

Published: April 2024

AbstractBackgroundA numer ofHaliclonaspecies (Demospongiae, Haplosclerida) in the Austin and McDaniel collections at the Royal British Columbia Museum (RBCM) are identified only to genus or genus and species. The collections are representative of over 40 years of sampling principally by the late Dr. William C. Austin and one of us (Neil McDaniel) through SCUBA diving on the west coast of British Columbia and specimens provided by others to Dr. Austin. We have selected representativeHaliclonaspecies in the collections for detailed examination and placement in subgenera and species (where species were not identified).Haliclonais recognized to have several subgenera, thus identification of specimens to genus and species is incomplete. Our study updates this status for the species examined.MethodsMethods of collection included intertidal scrapings or removal of non-encrusting specimens usually accompanied by in-situ photos, similar methods at SCUBA diving depths (subtidal to 35 m) and from other dredging, trawling and biological sampling activities.ResultsWe describe eleven newHaliclona(Demospongeae Haplosclerida Chalinadae) species and a range extension forHaliclona(Flagellia)edaphusde Laubenfels, 1930 for shallow waters of Southwestern British Columbia, Canada. New species includeHaliclona(Gellius)hartmanin. sp.,Haliclona(Gellius)shishalhensisn. sp.,Haliclona(Reniera)gestetan. sp.,Haliclona(Rhizoniera)aborescensn. sp.,Haliclona(Rhizoniera)blancan. sp.,Haliclona(Rhizoniera)boothensisn. sp.,Haliclona(Rhizoniera)filixn. sp.,Haliclona(Rhizoniera)kunechinan.sp.,Haliclona(Rhizoniera)meandrinan. sp.,Haliclona(Rhizoniera)penelakutan. sp., andHaliclona(Rhizoniera)vulcanan. sp.We also redescribeHaliclona mollis(Lambe, 1893 [1894]) and propose placing it in the subgenusHaliclona. Except for Lambe’s syntype slides ofHaliclona molliswhich are deposited at the Canadian Museum of Nature, Ottawa, Canada, all holotypes and voucher specimens of species described are deposited at RBCM.

AbstractPlastic pollution is a pressing global issue, with over 400 million tons produced annually and projections of 1.1 billion tons by 2050. Microplastics (MPs), ranging from 5 mm to 1 µm, are pervasive in the environment. They are found in air, sea, freshwater, soils, food chains and studies show that tiny MPs, smaller than 10 μm, can cross cellular membranes, posing potential health risks through oxidative stress, inflammation, immune dysfunction, neurotoxicity and reprotoxicity.In recent years, research has shown that microplastics have negative effects on the female reproductive systems of animals. However, there is still a lack of evidence on how the accumulation of microplastics affects the reproductive health of human females. This study aimed to examine the presence of microplastics in the ovarian follicular fluid of 18 women undergoing assisted reproductive treatment whose samples were processed using a patented method endorsed nationally and internationally. Plastic particles <10 µm were measured using SEM with EDX detection. Preventive measures were taken to avoid contamination during the process. Microplastics (dimensions <10 µm) were detected in 14 out of 18 samples of follicular fluid, with an average of 2191 p/ml (0 - 7181p/ml) and with a mean diameter of MPs of 4.48 µm (3.18-5.54 µm). A significant correlation was found between microplastic concentration and FSH (p-value <0.05), as well as a weak correlation with BMI, age and Estradiol. There was no correlation with fertilization outcomes, miscarriages, or live birth. This is the first study to provide evidence for microplastics’ presence in ovarian follicular fluid in women undergoing assisted reproductive treatment, representing a potential threat to female reproductive function.Abstract Figure

AbstractOutcomes following SARS-CoV-2 infection are variable; whilst the majority of patients recover without serious complications, a subset of patients develop prolonged illness termed Long COVID or post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC). The pathophysiology underlying Long COVID remains unclear but appears to involve multiple mechanisms including persistent inflammation, coagulopathy, autoimmunity, and organ damage. Studies suggest that microclots, also known as fibrinaloids, play a role in Long COVID. In this context, we developed a method to quantify microclots and investigated the relationship between microclot counts and Long COVID. We show that as a cohort, platelet-poor plasma from Long COVID samples had a higher microclot count compared to control groups but retained a wide distribution of counts. Recent COVID-19 infections were also seen to be associated with microclot counts higher than the control groups and equivalent to the Long COVID cohort, with a subsequent time-dependent reduction of counts. Our findings suggest that microclots could be a potential biomarker of disease and/or a treatment target in some Long COVID patients.
Coupling between magnetic and thermodynamic properties in

Published: April 2024

Single crystals of DyRh2Si2 and HoRh2Si2 were investigated by thermal expansion and magnetostriction. The different types of magnetic order can clearly be seen in these measurements, particularly the canting of the moments away from the crystallographic c direction below about 12 K and the spin flip for magnetic field applied along the c direction. For HoRh2Si2, an additional transition just below TN is analyzed by means of the Grüneisen ratio and is likely caused by a change in the magnetic structure. Our results nicely corroborate findings from other magnetic and thermodynamic measurements on these materials and provide further evidence suggesting the formation of magnetic domains.

Global status of dataset repositories at a glance: study based on OpenDOAR
Authors: Sofi Ishrat Ayub , Bhat Ajra , Gulzar Rahat 
Published: April 2024

Purpose
The study aims to shed light on the current state of “Dataset repositories” indexed in Directory of Open Access Repositories (OpenDOAR).

Design/methodology/approach
From each repository/record information, the Open-Access Policies, Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH), year of creation and the number of data sets archived in the repositories were manually searched, documented and analyzed.

Findings
Developed countries like the United Kingdom and the USA are primarily involved in the development of institutional open-access repositories comprising significant components of OpenDOAR. The most extensively used software is DSpace. Most data set archives are OAI-PMH compliant but do not follow open-access rules. The study also highlights the sites’ embrace of Web 2.0 capabilities and discovers really simple syndication feeds and Atom integration. The use of social media has made its presence known. Furthermore, the study concludes that the number of data sets kept in repositories is insufficient, although the expansion of such repositories has been consistent over the years.

Practical implications
The work has the potential to benefit both researchers in general and policymakers in particular. Scholars interested in research data, data sharing and data reuse can learn about the present state of repositories that preserve data sets in OpenDOAR. At the same time, policymakers can develop recommendations and policies to assist in the construction and maintenance of repositories for data sets.

Originality/value
According to the literature, there have been numerous studies on open-access repositories and OpenDOAR internationally, but no research has focused on repositories preserving content-type data sets. As a result, the study attempts to uncover various characteristics of OpenDOAR Data set repositories.
Retweet to donate? Cause-related marketing in the era of social medialization
Authors: Kim Shinhye , Bowen Melanie , Wen Xiaohan 
Published: April 2024

Purpose
The objectives of this study are threefold: to delineate the phenomenon of “You Share, We Donate” (YSWD) campaigns and what distinguishes them from sales-based cause-related marketing; to contrast the effectiveness of YSWD and sales-based cause-related marketing campaigns and provide an explanation for the differences in the effectiveness; to explore boundary conditions of the proposed differences.

Design/methodology/approach
Three experiments were conducted to empirically test the differential effect of campaign formats (i.e. YSWD vs sales-based cause-related marketing), the underlying mechanism and structural as well as contextual features moderating the differential effect.

Findings
The findings suggest that YSWD messages elicit consumers’ message-sharing intentions more than traditional cause-related marketing messages. The effect is explained by consumers’ sense of empowerment and can be enhanced through donation cap non-specification. The findings further indicate that YSWD campaigns are especially fruitful in low power distance cultures.

Research limitations/implications
This study contributes toward corporate donation campaign literature by focusing on the usage of social media.

Practical implications
From a managerial perspective, this research provides marketers with guidelines on how to choose between the two cause-related marketing campaign formats and how to enhance the effectiveness of YSWD campaigns.

Originality/value
This paper extends cause-related marketing literature by not only introducing the phenomenon of YSWD campaigns to the literature but also exploring strategies to enhance the effectiveness of such campaigns and shedding light on an outcome beyond the sales impact of cause-related marketing campaigns, i.e. an increase of visibility in social media. From a managerial perspective, this research provides marketers with guidelines on how to choose between the two cause-related marketing campaign formats and how to enhance the effectiveness of YSWD campaigns.

Published: April 2024

PurposeThis study social based on cognitive theory (SCT), aims to better understand how transformational leadership affects team-level knowledge sharing and absorptive ability in the construction industry. It also examines the moderating influence of the AI-based virtual assistant on the indirect relationship between transformational leadership and team innovation through knowledge sharing and absorptive ability at the team level.Design/methodology/approachThis study used a simple random sample approach to gather data from several small and medium-sized construction firms in Anhui Province, China. A total of 407 respondents, including 89 site engineers and 321 team members, provided their responses on a five-point Likert scale questionnaire.FindingsThe findings showed that AI-based virtual assistants significantly moderated the direct and indirect association between transformational leadership and knowledge sharing, and subsequently with team innovation. Unexpectedly, the findings showed that AI-based virtual assistant did not moderate the direct relationship between transformational leadership and team-level absorptive capacity.Originality/valueThis study adds a fresh perspective to the literature on construction management by examining team innovation driven by transformational leadership through an underlying mechanism. It is unique in that it uses the team adaptation theory to investigate the understudied relationship between transformational leadership and team innovation in the construction industry.
Measuring the routine and non-routine task contents: a comparative study between state and industrial sector employees
Authors: Salimgereyev Narsymbat , Mukhamediyev Bulat , Shaikh Aijaz A. 
Published: April 2024

PurposeThis study developed new measures of the routine and non-routine task contents of managerial, professional, technical, and clerical occupations from a workload perspective. Here, we present a comparative analysis of the workload structures of state and industrial sector employees.Design/methodology/approachOur method involves detailed descriptions of work processes and an element-wise time study. We collected and analysed data to obtain a workload structure that falls within three conceptual task categories: (i) non-routine analytic tasks, (ii) non-routine interactive tasks and (iii) routine cognitive tasks. A total of 2,312 state and industrial sector employees in Kazakhstan participated in the study. The data were collected using a proprietary web application that resembles a timesheet.FindingsThe study results are consistent with the general trend reported by previous studies: the higher the job level, the lower the occupation’s routine task content. In addition, the routine cognitive task contents of managerial, professional, technical, and clerical occupations in the industrial sector are higher than those in local governments. The work of women is also more routinary than that of men. Finally, vthe routine cognitive task contents of occupations in administrative units are higher than those of occupations in substantive units.Originality/valueOur study sought to address the challenges of using the task-based approach associated with measuring tasks by introducing a new measurement framework. The main advantage of our task measures is a direct approach to assessing workloads consisting of routine tasks, which allows for an accurate estimation of potential staff reductions due to the automation of work processes.

Authors: Shang Fei , Sun Bo , Cai Dandan 
Published: April 2024

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to investigate the application of non-destructive testing methods in measuring bearing oil film thickness to ensure that bearings are in a normal lubrication state. The oil film thickness is a crucial parameter reflecting the lubrication status of bearings, directly influencing the operational state of bearing transmission systems. However, it is challenging to accurately measure the oil film thickness under traditional disassembly conditions due to factors such as bearing structure and working conditions. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a nondestructive testing method to measure the oil film thickness and its status.

Design/methodology/approach
This paper introduces methods for optically, electrically and acoustically measuring the oil film thickness and status of bearings. It discusses the adaptability and measurement accuracy of different bearing oil film measurement methods and the impact of varying measurement conditions on accuracy. In addition, it compares the application scenarios of other techniques and the influence of the environment on detection results.

Findings
Ultrasonic measurement stands out due to its widespread adaptability, making it suitable for oil film thickness detection in various states and monitoring continuous changes in oil film thickness. Different methods can be selected depending on the measurement environment to compensate for measurement accuracy and enhance detection effectiveness.

Originality/value
This paper reviews the basic principles and latest applications of optical, electrical and acoustic measurement of oil film thickness and status. It analyzes applicable measurement methods for oil film under different conditions. It discusses the future trends of detection methods, providing possible solutions for bearing oil film thickness detection in complex engineering environments.

Published: April 2024

PurposeThis paper aims to increase understanding of pertinent exogenous and endogenous antecedents that can reduce data privacy breaches.Design/methodology/approachA cross-sectional survey was used to source participants' perceptions of relevant exogenous and endogenous antecedents developed from the Antecedents-Privacy Concerns-Outcomes (APCO) model and Social Cognitive Theory. A research model was proposed and tested with empirical data collected from 213 participants based in Canada.FindingsThe exogenous factors of external privacy training and external privacy self-assessment tool significantly and positively impact the study's endogenous factors of individual privacy awareness, organizational resources allocated to privacy concerns, and group behavior concerning privacy laws. Further, the proximal determinants of data privacy breaches (dependent construct) are negatively influenced by individual privacy awareness, group behavior related to privacy laws, and organizational resources allocated to privacy concerns. The endogenous factors fully mediated the relationships between the exogenous factors and the dependent construct.Research limitations/implicationsThis study contributes to the budding data privacy breach literature by highlighting the impacts of personal and environmental factors in the discourse.Practical implicationsThe results offer management insights on mitigating data privacy breach incidents arising from employees' actions. Roles of external privacy training and privacy self-assessment tools are signified.Originality/valueAntecedents of data privacy breaches have been underexplored. This paper is among the first to elucidate the roles of select exogenous and endogenous antecedents encompassing personal and environmental imperatives on data privacy breaches.
The dual nature of “peculiar problems” in microfinancing: perspectives on market efficiency and public policy nexus
Authors: Singh Kuldeep 
Published: April 2024

PurposeThe microfinancing sector is infamous for being prone to high credit risks due to loan defaults by its poor borrowers. Conversely, the sector is also criticized for creating debt traps for the poor. The dual nature of these peculiar problems in microfinancing causes the market failure phenomenon. Therefore, the current study explores whether public policy intervention is required to address market failure.Design/methodology/approachThe study undertakes a critical review of existing literature, the news, the policy documents and other publicly available information to shape the viewpoints in this study. Constructive criticism is used to build arguments to arrive at a conceptual framework that depicts how public policy should interact with markets to address the peculiar problems of the microfinancing sector.FindingsThe findings indicate that market failure in microfinancing is real and pressing. Therefore, public policy is invited, though in its limited form. While the policy intervention may help the formal microfinancing arena by regulating the interest rates, the policy administration in the informal sector is likely to fail. Therefore, the policy should attempt to create an environment of inclusiveness. Policies that rely on coercion are not recommended. In the long run, subsidies via policy intervention are discouraged. Instead, the policy should motivate the microfinancing sector to become self-reliant.Originality/valueThe study is one of its kind to provide perspectives on specific market failures and policy interventions in microfinancing, particularly in economies where formal and informal sectors coexist and are equally crucial.
