Parental international migration and health of children left-behind: evidence from an Asian economy
Authors: Zafar Sameen 
Published: October 2023

Purpose
There is a considerable gap in the literature examining the effect of parental international migration on children’s health in Pakistan. The author aims to examine the impact of parental international labour migration on the health (anthropometric measures) of children left-behind in Pakistan.

Design/methodology/approach
The author investigates the impact of parental international labour migration on the health (anthropometric measures) of children left-behind in Pakistan using econometric estimation techniques and the latest wave of the Pakistan Demographic and Health Survey 2017–2018. The main child health measures the author uses include weight-for-age (WAZ) and height-for-age (HAZ) Z-scores for children under five years of age. Since unobservable factors may be vital determinants of the child nutrition outcomes, the author uses two unique instrumental variables to address the potential endogeneity problem.

Findings
The author finds that international migration improves the left-behind children’s weight-for-age and height-for-age nutritional outcomes, generating essential policy insights.

Originality/value
To the best of the auhtor’s knowledge, no previous study has been conducted on parental migration and left-behind children in Pakistan using the latest Demographic and Health Survey.

Authors: Kupangwa Welcome , Farrington Shelley Maeva , Venter Elmarie 
Published: October 2023

PurposeThis study aims to investigate the favourable conditions that influence transgenerational value transmission (TVT), value acceptance and value similarity between generations in indigenous African business-owning families.Design/methodology/approachThis study adopts a multiple case study design and draws on semi-structured face-to-face interviews to collect data from participants in seven indigenous Black business-owning families located in South Africa. The software ATLAS.ti was utilised to manage the data and reflexive thematic analysis was undertaken.FindingsThe analysis reveal four themes describing how transmission factors facilitate favourable conditions for successful TVT in IBSA business-owning families, namely, authoritarian parenting, a loving and connected family relational climate, the continuous reinforcement of autonomy during childhood development and family authenticity in the face of societies dominant values climate. Furthermore, value similarity is perceived to exist among the different family generations in the business-owning families.Originality/value This study is among the first to adopt the value acquisition model to empirically examine successful TVT and examine the extent of value similarity or dissimilarity, using the business-owning family as the unit of analysis. Novel contributions to family business literature and practices are proposing a model for TVT in an African context and studying relationships from a business-owning family perspective. The model for TVT could be used to socialise the NextGen members into value sets and behaviours that help business-owning families preserve their entrepreneurial legacy and family business longevity.

Records in social media: a new (old) understanding of records management
Authors: Oladejo Babatunde Kazeem , Hofman Darra 
Published: October 2023

PurposeSocial media posts have been an integral part of our society’s communication and serve purposes from the personal to the national, from the mundane to the silly to the momentous. This study aims to examine social media posts as records, discussing how social media technology serves, perhaps unexpectedly, to reinforce traditional archival understandings of issues such as provenance, custody, access, disposition and preservation.Design/methodology/approachThis study follows a four-step methodology. First, this study analyzes literature for a matching definition of the social media record. In the second step, we appraise three social media postings previously curated and cited in news articles by journalists to determine their characteristics – Are these social media posts “records?” Third, this study evaluates the sample records against two dominant theoretical record models, the life cycle and the continuum and attempt to apply the model specifications to the data samples. Finally, this study proposes appropriate records management solutions to address governance issues from the study findings in the conclusion section.FindingsThis study shows that, even by the most traditional of definitions, social media posts are records. The paper also demonstrates that platform mediation transforms simple narrative documents into records whose provenance, custody and control are dictated by platform logics and governance, outside of the control of their creators. Through appraisal of a small sample of “important” social media posts, this study illustrates that, rather than obsolete, traditional records management concepts and approaches are necessary to ensuring the ongoing accessibility, usability and evidentiary character of social media posts in the broader “platformized” context.Research limitations/implicationsThis is exploratory, theoretical work. In future works, this study plans to expand and validate aspects of this study.Originality/valueThis paper tests existing theoretical frameworks, namely, the Records Life cycle and the Records Continuum for applicability to the social media record. The paper also offers a view of the potential for traditional archival and records management concepts in service of a just and inclusive recordkeeping, because such concepts allow us to demonstrate the centralized, elite-serving, bureaucratic structures which underpin social media records are obscured by the seemingly decentralized, participatory nature of social media.

Authors: Hu Mingming , Lin Lijing , Liu Minkun , Ma Shuai 
Published: October 2023

Purpose
This study aims to explore image-based visual price determinants (image features and visual aesthetic perception) and how image features affect Airbnb listing price on a sharing accommodation platform.

Design/methodology/approach
The study uses an SOR model and a hedonic price model to examine the connections between the characteristics of image features, visual aesthetic perception and Airbnb listing prices. The model is then examined by an econometric model using data from Insideairbnb.com.

Findings
Empirical results revealed that image features have a significant positive effect on visual aesthetic perception, visual aesthetic perception has a significant positive effect on Airbnb listing price and visual aesthetic perception has a significant mediating effect between image features and Airbnb listing price.

Originality/value
This study contributes to the relationship and effect mechanism among image features, visual aesthetic perception and Airbnb listing price and has some implications for both property operators and the sharing accommodation platform.
Supporting self‐determination in mental health recovery: Strategies employed by occupational therapists
Authors: Fawor Jasmine , Hancock Nicola , Scanlan Justin Newton , Hamilton Debra Ellen 
Published: October 2023

AbstractIntroductionSelf‐determination is a core component of mental health recovery and a predictor of positive outcomes. The literature calls for occupational therapists to lead practice change to greater recovery‐orientation, including facilitating people's self‐determination. However, systemic challenges thwart translation of policy into practice and therapists report a lack of confidence in implementing recovery‐oriented principles. This study aimed to understand the strategies that mental health occupational therapists employ to support people's self‐determination.MethodsData were collected through an international on‐line questionnaire principally comprising two open‐ended questions designed to elicit deep reflective personal accounts. Participants were asked about an experience in which they supported a person's self‐determination and the factors that either facilitated or hindered this experience. Qualitative data were analysed using inductive thematic analysis, guided by constant comparative methods.FindingsThirty‐four therapists, predominantly from Australia (n = 30), participated. Therapists described supporting self‐determination as a multifaceted process that involved: (1) working on myself, (2) working with the person, and (3) working with others. They emphasised that the combined use of various strategies across these three areas of work was important to support people's self‐determination. Further, awareness of and addressing issues of power in their practice was key.ConclusionThis study supports the translation of recovery‐oriented principles into practice by revealing the nuanced strategies implemented by occupational therapists striving to support self‐determination. Participants employed diverse strategies to empower people to take the ‘driver's seat’ in their mental health recovery journey. Insights from this study will support other occupational therapists to actualise recovery‐oriented principles and better support self‐determination in their practice. To effectively implement self‐determination strategies, therapists must reflect on and address existing power differentials within mental health services, particularly between themselves and the people they support.
Problem Directors and Corporate Risk‐Taking

Published: October 2023

AbstractThis study investigates the impact of a ‘problem director’ on the risk‐taking propensity of a firm and its consequences for firm value. Analysing a sample of US companies, we find that corporate risk‐taking propensity increases when a firm appoints a problem director. Our results are of economic significance, indicating that a one standard deviation increase in problem director's score leads to a 2.33% to 4.17% increase in corporate risk‐taking. Mediation analysis reveals that a problem director increases firm risk‐taking through reducing financial reporting quality. Further, a firm's risk‐taking increases when a new problem director joins the board, and the damaging effect persists even after the problem director has left. Moreover, if a chief executive officer (CEO) is a problem director, s/he displays a greater predisposition for risk‐taking. Moreover, when a problem director also sits on a board led by a problem CEO, we determine that the former will have an even greater propensity to take risks. Further analysis determines that the presence of problem directors damages long‐term firm value in the aftermath of risk‐taking behaviour. Overall, this study provides fresh evidence revealing a web of connections between a problem director, ineffective corporate governance and a decline in firm value.

AbstractHutchinson‐Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is a rare and fatal genetic condition that arises from a single nucleotide alteration in the LMNA gene, leading to the production of a defective lamin A protein known as progerin. The accumulation of progerin accelerates the onset of a dramatic premature aging phenotype in children with HGPS, characterized by low body weight, lipodystrophy, metabolic dysfunction, skin, and musculoskeletal age‐related dysfunctions. In most cases, these children die of age‐related cardiovascular dysfunction by their early teenage years. The absence of effective treatments for HGPS underscores the critical need to explore novel safe therapeutic strategies. In this study, we show that treatment with the hormone ghrelin increases autophagy, decreases progerin levels, and alleviates other cellular hallmarks of premature aging in human HGPS fibroblasts. Additionally, using a HGPS mouse model (LmnaG609G/G609G mice), we demonstrate that ghrelin administration effectively rescues molecular and histopathological progeroid features, prevents progressive weight loss in later stages, reverses the lipodystrophic phenotype, and extends lifespan of these short‐lived mice. Therefore, our findings uncover the potential of modulating ghrelin signaling offers new treatment targets and translational approaches that may improve outcomes and enhance the quality of life for patients with HGPS and other age‐related pathologies.

AbstractObjectiveTo (a) compare characteristics of patients who fall with those of patients who did not fall; and (b) characterise falls (time, injury severity and location) through three fall reporting methods (incident system reports, medical notes and clinician reports).MethodsA substudy design within a stepped‐wedge clinical trial was used: 3239 trial participants were recruited from two inpatient Geriatric Evaluation and Management Units and one general medicine ward in two Australian states. To compare the characteristics of patients who had fallen with those who had not, descriptive tests were used. To characterise falls through three reporting methods, bivariate logistic regressions were used.ResultsPatients who had fallen were more likely than patients who had not fallen to be cognitively impaired (51% vs. 29%, p < 0.01), admitted with falls (38% vs. 28%, p = 0.01) and have poor health outcomes such as prolonged length of stay (24 [16–34] vs. 12 [8–19] days [IQR], p < 0.01) and less likely to be discharged directly to the community (62% vs. 47%, p < 0.01). Most falls were captured from medical notes (93%), with clinician (71%) and incident reports (68%) missing 21%–25% of falls. The proportion of injurious falls identified through incident reports was higher than medical records or clinician reports (40% vs. 34% vs. 37%).ConclusionsThis study reaffirms the need to improve reporting falls in incident systems and at clinical handover to the team leader. Research should continue to use more than one method of identifying falls, but include data from medical records. Many falls cause injury, resulting in poor health outcomes.

Published: October 2023

AbstractObjectiveHospitalisations are an important indicator of safety and quality of care in residential aged care facilities (RACFs). This study aimed to investigate changes in hospital use 12 months before and 12 months after RACF entry using routinely collected data from 25 Australian RACFs.MethodsThis was a retrospective longitudinal cohort study using linked aged care provider and hospital record data. The sample comprised 1029 residents living in an aged care facility between July 2014 and December 2019 who had stayed a minimum of 12 months in an RACF. The outcome measures were all‐cause hospitalisations and fall‐related hospitalisations. We applied an interrupted time series analysis using segmented regression to examine changes in both outcome measures over time. Stratified analyses were conducted by gender and dementia status.ResultsThe rate of all‐cause hospitalisations increased dramatically over the 12 months before RACF entry, from 97 per 1000 residents per month 12 months prior to RACF admission to 303 per 1000 residents at the second month prior to RACF entry. All‐cause hospitalisations then decreased considerably to 55 per 1000 residents upon RACF admission and stabilised across the next 12 months. Such trajectories were also observed in fall‐related hospitalisations and were consistent for gender and dementia status.ConclusionsIn this study, hospitalisation rates decreased significantly after RACF entry, and such reductions were maintained for residents who stayed for 12 months in RACFs. Multiple hospital admissions are likely to precipitate entry into RACF. Additional investigation of how community‐based services can be successful in reducing the escalating hospitalisations is needed.

Published: October 2023

AbstractBackgroundAlthough extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been used to provide temporary support for pediatric patients suffering severe respiratory or cardiac failure since 1970, ECMO systems specifically designed for pediatric patients, particularly for long‐term use, remain an unmet clinical need. We sought to develop a new pediatric ECMO system, that is, pediatric pump‐lung (PPL), consisting of a unique cylinder oxygenator with an outside‐in radial flow path and a centrifugal pump.MethodsComputational fluid dynamics was used to analyze the blood fluid field for optimized biocompatible and gas exchange performances in terms of flow characteristics, hemolysis, and gas transfer efficiency. Ovine blood was used for in vitro hemolysis and gas transfer testing.ResultsBoth the computational and experimental data showed that the pressure drop through the PPL's oxygenator is significantly low, even at a flow rate of more than 3.5 L/min. The PPL showed better hemolysis performance than a commercial ECMO circuit consisting of the Quadrox‐iD pediatric oxygenator and the Rotaflow pump at a 3.5 L/min flow rate and 250 mm Hg afterload pressure. The oxygen transfer rate of the PPL can reach over 200 mL/min at a flow rate of 3.5 L/min.ConclusionsThe PPL has the potential to provide adequate blood pumping and excellent respiratory support with minimal risk of hemolysis for a wide range of pediatric patients.

AbstractIntroductionWe aimed to evaluate the safety and short‐term outcomes of robotic‐assisted transabdominal preperitoneal repair for inguinal hernia in 12 pioneering hospitals in Japan.MethodsClinical data of patients who underwent robotic‐assisted transabdominal preperitoneal repair between September 1, 2016, and December 31, 2021 were collected. Primary outcome measures were intra‐operative adverse events and post‐operative complications, whereas secondary outcomes were surgical outcomes, including chronic pain, recurrence, and learning curve.ResultsIn total, 307 patients were included. One case of inferior epigastric arterial injury was reported; no cases of bowel or bladder injury were reported. Thirty‐five seromas were observed, including four (1.3%) cases that required aspiration. The median operative time of a unilateral case was 108 minutes (interquartile range: 89.8–125.5), and post‐operative pain was rated 1 (interquartile range: 0–2) on the numerical rating scale. In complicated cases, such as recurrent inguinal hernias and robotic‐assisted radical prostatectomy‐associated hernias, dissection and suture were safely achieved, and no complications were observed, except for non‐symptomatic seroma. All patients underwent robotic procedures, and there was no chronic post‐operative inguinal pain, although one case of hernia recurrence was reported. Regarding the learning curve, plateau performance was achieved after 7–10 cases in terms of operative time (P < .001).ConclusionRobotic‐assisted transabdominal preperitoneal repair can be safely introduced in Japan. Regardless of the involvement of many surgeons, the mastery of robotic techniques was achieved relatively quickly. The advantage of robotic technology such as wristed instruments may expand the application of minimally invasive hernia repair for complicated cases.

Published: October 2023

AbstractMutualisms between plants and ants are common features of tropical ecosystems around the globe and can have cascading effects on interactions with the ecological communities in which they occur. In an African savanna, we assessed whether acacia ants influence nest site selection by tree‐nesting birds. Birds selected nest sites in trees inhabited by ant species that vigorously defend against browsing mammals. Future research could address the extent to which hatching and fledging rates depend on the species of ant symbiont, and why ants tolerate nesting birds but no other tree associates (especially insects).Abstract in Swahili is available with online material.
