Authors: Castillo-Ortiz Ismael , Lee Minwoo , Taylor Scott , Bufquin Diego 
Published: April 2024

Purpose
This paper aims to uncover patterns of Mexican craft beer consumers and guide companies’ decisions in the creation of new products, marketing strategies, advertising and promotion to increase craft beer sales and contribute to faster growth.

Design/methodology/approach
This is a conjoint analysis with a selection of attributes for new or renewed products, marginal disposition to pay for particular characteristics through brand-specific choice-based design, and market simulation.

Findings
This paper clearly demonstrates consumers’ preferences and willingness to pay in Mexico, with a cutting-edge market research technique combining the prioritization of preferred craft beer characteristics, and the price consumers are willing to pay for such product characteristics.

Research limitations/implications
The study's sample size of 501 responses is relatively small compared to the total number of craft beer consumers in Mexico. To enhance the validity and reliability of the findings, future studies should aim to obtain larger samples and compare their results with those of this study.

Practical implications
This study has important implications for craft beer producers, allowing them to develop targeted craft beers with appealing attributes for Mexican consumers, such as color, aroma intensity, alcohol degree intensity, bitterness, foam level and price.

Social implications
This study's market forecasting simulation technique is based on assumptions of consumer behavior and market dynamics. Although relevant variables were considered, unanticipated external factors or market changes could impact the forecasts' accuracy. This will allow for a more comprehensive understanding of craft beer consumer preferences in different markets and enhance the reliability of forecasting techniques.

Originality/value
This paper informs craft beer producers by providing valuable knowledge on customers’ preferences and willingness to pay to enhance craft beer companies’ product development processes.

Published: April 2024

PurposeThe primary objective of this article is to examine current procurement, inventory control and management practices in modern healthcare, with a particular focus on the procurement and management of surgical supplies in a prominent public, highly specialized healthcare sector.Design/methodology/approachThis study was conducted in three phases. In Phase 1, the study team interacted with various hospital management stakeholders, including the surgical hospital store, examined the current procurement process and identified challenges. Phase 2 focused on selecting items for a detailed study and collected the qualitative and quantitative details of the store department of the healthcare sector chosen. A detailed study analyzed revenue, output/demand, inventory levels, etc. In Phase 3, a decision-making framework is proposed, and inventory control systems are redesigned and demonstrated for the selected items.FindingsIt was observed that the demand for many surgical items had increased significantly over the years due to an increase in disposable/disposable items, while inventories fluctuated widely. Maximum inventory levels varied between 50 and 75%. Storage and availability were important issues for the hospital. It is assumed the hospital adopts the proposed inventory control system. In this case, the benefits can be a saving of 62% of the maximum inventory, 20% of the average stock in the system and optimal use of storage space, improving the performance and productivity of the hospital.Research limitations/implicationsThis study can help the healthcare sector administration to develop better systems for the procurement and delivery of common surgical items and efficient resource allocation. It can help provide adequate training to store staff. This study can help improve management/procurement policies, ordering and delivery systems, better service levels, and inventory control of items in the hospital business context. This study can serve as a pilot study to further investigate the overall hospital operations.Practical implicationsThis study can help the healthcare sector administration develop better systems for procuring and delivering common surgical items and efficient resource allocation. It can help provide adequate training to store staff. This study can help improve management/procurement policies, ordering and delivery systems, better service levels and inventory control of items in the hospital business context. This study can serve as a pilot study to further investigate the overall hospital operations.Originality/valueThis study is an early attempt to develop a decision framework and inventory control system from the perspective of healthcare inventory management. The gaps identified in real hospital scenarios are investigated, and theoretically based-inventory management strategies are applied and proposed.
Does audit quality moderate the relationship between financial statements readability and stock price crash risk?
Authors: Saleeb Agaiby Bakhiet Bahaa 
Published: April 2024

Purpose
This study aims to examine the correlation between the readability of financial statements and the likelihood of future stock price crashes in nonfinancial companies listed on the Egyptian Stock Exchange. It further explores the possible moderating effect of audit quality on this relationship.

Design/methodology/approach
The study uses ordinary least squares regression, generalized least squares estimation and two-stage least squares methodology to examine and validate the research hypotheses. The sample comprises 107 nonfinancial companies registered on the Egyptian Stock Exchange from 2016 to 2019.

Findings
The results reveal a significant negative association between the readability of financial statements and stock price crash risk. This suggests that companies with more complex financial statements tend to experience higher future crash risks. Additionally, the study identifies audit quality as a significant moderating factor. Higher audit quality, often indicated by engagements with Big-4 audit firms, strengthens the influence of financial statements readability on stock price crash risk. This implies that while high audit quality enhances investor confidence and market stability, it also accentuates the negative consequences of complex financial statements.

Practical implications
The findings of this paper have significant implications for regulators and standard-setting bodies in Egypt. They should consider refining and revising existing standards to emphasize the importance of enhancing the readability of financial reports. Additionally, auditing firms should actively engage in efforts to ensure clearer and more transparent financial reporting. These actions are vital for boosting investor confidence, strengthening Egypt’s capital market and mitigating potential risks associated with information opacity and complexity.

Originality/value
This study represents a pioneering endeavor within the Arab and Egyptian financial environments. To the best of the author’s knowledge, it is the first examination of the association between the readability of financial statements and stock price crash risk in these contexts. Furthermore, it explores factors such as audit quality that may influence this connection.

Energy import dependence, renewable energy deployment, and carbon emissions in G20 countries
Authors: Yan Qing , Wang Yongpei , Zhang Xin , Du Xiatian , Huang Tianyi 
Published: April 2024

AbstractAgainst the background of unbalanced global energy distribution and increased exogenous shocks to energy trade, major countries bear special responsibilities for energy security and the achievement of greenhouse gas emission reduction under the Paris Agreement. Stabilizing energy supply chains and deploying renewable energy on a large scale are seen as fundamental ways to address both issues. To this end, this paper uses a sample of G20 countries covering the period 1980–2020 to estimate the links between energy import dependence, renewable energy deployment, and carbon emissions per capita. The results indicate that the energy import dependence of G20 countries can act as a combined brake on carbon emissions in large developed countries and emerging market countries, suggesting that global energy trade also has an additional role in reducing carbon emissions. Oil import dependence as one of the robustness check strategies further confirms these findings. The impact mechanism estimates imply that the channel for reducing carbon emissions of energy import dependence was to prompt countries to accelerate renewable energy deployment. Within the established framework of energy demand and economic growth, the universal deployment of renewable energy is a fundamental way to achieve environmental friendliness. These findings provide insights into multinational coordinated policies that ensure open and cooperative international energy markets and a transnational energy trading system that puts humanity on a path to global carbon neutrality.

ObjectivesTo investigate long‐term disease trajectories among men with high‐risk localized or locally advanced prostate cancer (HRLPC) treated with radical radiotherapy (RT) or radical prostatectomy (RP).Material and MethodsMen diagnosed with HRLPC in 2006–2020, who received primary RT or RP, were identified from the Prostate Cancer data Base Sweden (PCBaSe) 5.0. Follow‐up ended on 30 June 2021. Treatment trajectories and risk of death from prostate cancer (PCa) or other causes were assessed by competing risk analyses using cumulative incidence for each event.ResultsIn total, 8317 men received RT and 4923 men underwent RP. The median (interquartile range) follow‐up was 6.2 (3.6–9.5) years. After RT, the 10‐year risk of PCa‐related death was 0.13 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.12–0.14) and the risk of death from all causes was 0.32 (95% CI 0.31–0.34). After RP, the 10‐year risk of PCa‐related death was 0.09 (95% CI 0.08–0.10) and the risk of death from all causes was 0.19 (95% CI 0.18–0.21). The 10‐year risks of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) as secondary treatment were 0.42 (95% CI 0.41–0.44) and 0.21 (95% CI 0.20–0.23) after RT and RP, respectively. Among men who received ADT as secondary treatment, the risk of PCa‐related death at 10 years after initiation of ADT was 0.33 (95% CI 030–0.36) after RT and 0.27 (95% CI 0.24–0.30) after RP.ConclusionApproximately one in 10 men with HRLPC who received primary RT or RP had died from PCa 10 years after diagnosis. Approximately one in three men who received secondary ADT, an indication of PCa progression, died from PCa 10 years after the start of ADT. Early identification and aggressive treatment of men with high risk of progression after radical treatment are warranted.
Participation experiences of young people with cerebral palsy in key life situations: A qualitative study
Authors: Ding Jacqueline Y. , Cleary Stacey L. , Morgan Prue E. 
Published: April 2024

AbstractAimsTo explore the participation experiences of adolescents and young adults with cerebral palsy (CP) in key life situations of young adulthood and investigate the impact of a government‐funded, disability insurance scheme on participation and health service access.MethodWe conducted a qualitative descriptive study using semi‐structured interviews. Sixteen young people with CP (aged 16–30 years; mean age = 24 years 4 months) participated. Interviews were audio‐recorded and transcribed verbatim before thematic analysis.ResultsAn overarching theme of ‘branching out into adulthood’ was identified. Participants described early adulthood as a time of change, choice, and challenge. The sub‐themes were: (1) making sense of my CP as an adult; (2) people's attitudes towards disability and the impacts on me; (3) roadblocks and workarounds; and (4) participation at the time of the COVID‐19 pandemic. Participants reported complex views on the new disability insurance scheme. While access to services and support increased, participants experienced significant difficulty negotiating appropriate funding, resulting in frustration and reduced confidence in the scheme.InterpretationYoung people with CP experience complexity as they participate during young adulthood. Alongside exploring how their identity is intertwined with having CP, they face significant barriers to participation when navigating relationships, accessing services, and being involved in the community.What this paper adds

Negative community attitudes about disability affect confidence and self‐perception, and hinder participation, in young adults with cerebral palsy (CP).

Close friends can act as a buffer for young adults with CP, fostering their participation and bringing joy.

A government‐funded disability support scheme has improved access to services.

However, high levels of advocacy are required to obtain appropriate support.

Online learning enhanced the participation and engagement of young adults with CP enrolled at university during the COVID‐19 pandemic.
Theorizing collective action—Instrumental collectivism as a key concept for explaining workplace collective action
Authors: Refslund Bjarke 
Published: April 2024

AbstractThis article addresses workplace collective action. Through a discussion of instrumental and norm‐driven motivations for workers' collective action, it is argued that most workers are driven mainly by instrumental motivations—meaning, that they aim to achieve certain outcomes. Consequently, the theoretical concept of instrumental collectivism from Alan Fox is utilized to explain and understand collective action. Finally, six conditions facilitating workplace collective action, including an ideational and hence constructivist element, are identified and discussed providing a more nuanced theoretical framework of workers' collective action that allows for workers' agency and refutes that instrumentalism per se leads to individualized behavior.
You can't see me: Background matching is independent of body temperature in the Western diamond‐backed rattlesnake

Published: April 2024

AbstractColoration is crucial for ambush mesopredators' survival as they depend on it for camouflage to hunt and avoid predation. Furthermore, coloration is especially important in ectotherms as it is linked to two essential functions for survival: thermoregulation and crypsis. In a context of trade‐offs between thermoregulation and crypsis, the comprehension of how ectotherms employ color to address conflicting demands of thermoregulation and crypsis is limited. This study investigated background matching and thermoregulation in western diamond‐backed rattlesnakes (Crotalus atrox). Rattlesnakes were predicted to better match selected microhabitats in terms of color, luminance, and pattern than random microhabitats within their home range, and body temperature was predicted to influence their body coloration with higher temperatures favoring lighter colors. Pictures of 14 radiotracked western diamond‐backed rattlesnakes were taken in situ with a full spectrum camera (UV/VIS) and body temperature was recovered from internal temperature‐datalogging radiotransmitters. Crotalus atrox matched the color, luminance, and pattern of the background better than a randomly selected background, thus enhancing background matching. Additionally, rattlesnake coloration varied independently of temperature indicating that rattlesnakes are behaviorally modifying crypsis regardless of thermoregulation.
Why we should view the decision of medical trainees to cheat as the product of a person‐by‐situation interaction
Authors: Weeks Sarah , Desy Janeve , McLaughlin Kevin 
Published: April 2024

AbstractBackgroundCheating during medical training is a delicate subject matter with varying opinions on the prevalence, causes and gravity of cheating during training.Proposed frameworkIn this article, the authors suggest that the decision to cheat is best viewed as the product of a person‐by‐situation interaction rather than indicating inherent dishonesty and/or extrinsic motivation in those who participate in cheating. This framework can explain why individuals who would typically default to honesty may participate in cheating if there is perceived justification for cheating and where situational variables, such as ease of cheating, rewards for cheating and perceived risk associated with cheating, make the decision to cheat appear rational.DiscussionThey discuss why the impression that there is a culture of cheating can provide perceived justification for medical trainees to cheat if they have the opportunity. They then describe how aspects of medical training and assessment may enable or hinder cheating by trainees. Consistent with the person‐by‐situation interaction framework, they contend that our response to cheating should include interventions directed at both the person who cheated and situational variables that enabled cheating. Recognising that some forms of cheating may be widespread, difficult to detect and contentious (such as the creation and use of exam reconstructs), their proposal for dealing with suspected and pervasive cheating is to identify and target enabling variables such that the decision to cheat becomes less rational. Their hope is that in so doing, we can gradually nudge trainees and the culture of medical training towards honesty.
A Joy‐Stick Assistant Three‐Dimensional Modified Technique of Minimally Invasive Surgery for Mild or Moderate Hallux Valgus

Published: April 2024

BackgroundMinimally invasive surgery (MIS) such as minimally invasive chevron osteotomy and Akin osteotomy (MICA) has become popular in the treatment of hallux valgus. However, how to correct three‐dimensional deformities in hallux valgus effectively and simply in MICA is still difficult. Special equipment is required in MICA as has been reported before. It is meaningful and necessary to reduce the reliance on special equipment in MICA.MethodsFrom January 2021 to July 2022, patients with mild or moderate hallux valgus were treated with a joy‐stick assistant three‐dimensional modified technique (Joy‐stick 3D technique) of MIS. VAS, AOFAS Hallux MTP‐IP scores, hallux valgus angle (HVA), intermetatarsal angle (IMA), and distal metatarsal articular angle (DMAA) were measured pre‐ and postoperatively at the last follow‐up of at least 6 months. Scores and radiologic angles were compared using paired sample t‐test.ResultsA total of 36 cases were included. HVA, IMA, and DMAA were (22.3 ± 6.1)°, (14.0 ± 3.2)°, and (8.9 ± 3.2)° preoperatively, and decreased to (7.0 ± 1.8)°, (3.7 ± 1.0)°, and (3.3 ± 1.1)° postoperatively. VAS decreased from 4.3 ± 1.7 to 0.7 ± 0.7. AOFAS Hallux MTP‐IP scores improved from 68.6 ± 7.6 to 92.9 ± 6.1. Comparing mild and moderate cases, though HVA, IMA, and DMAA were significantly different preoperatively, the angles became statistically similar after surgery.ConclusionsA joy‐stick assistant three‐dimensional modified technique is proposed to control the three‐dimensional position of the metatarsal head and to reduce dependence on special tools. Mild and moderate hallux valgus deformities are effectively corrected using Joy‐stick 3D technique.

Published: April 2024

AbstractMathematics teacher leadership is promising, yet complex work, and research interest in this form of leadership is on the rise. This systematic review takes stock of the current research landscape on mathematics teacher leadership, specifically mathematics specialists as teacher leaders (MSTLs), and approaches the questions: (1) What are the historical publication trends for MSTLs? and (2) What are the various methods, research questions, and framing used in research design for MSTLs? For this review, we use a subset of articles focused on in‐service MSTLs that are part of a larger systematic review that includes constructs such as coaching, mathematics specialists (MS), and other forms of leading teachers. Findings provide evidence that research on MSTLs is certainly on the rise, with nearly 90% of the MSTL research originating in the last decade and published within mainly general education journals. Furthermore, the majority of MSTL studies were qualitative in nature, answered research questions centered on leader interactions with others and leader reactions to professional development programs, and used various theories and constructs to ground the work. Overall, this study extends what is known about the research surrounding MSTLs, illuminates the complexities of this work, and discusses future directions for the field.
