Authors: Brogan Garrett S. , Dooley Kim E. 
Published: October 2023

PurposeThis research paper aims to explore the impact artisan cooperatives have upon women employed in Sub-Saharan Africa. Impacts were detailed using the theoretical framework of social capital theory to demonstrate the networks within artisan cooperatives that connect to greater opportunities for social and economic benefits.Design/methodology/approachA phenomenological approach was used for this study based upon the shared experiences of women who were leading artisan cooperatives in Sub-Saharan Africa. This study included semi-structured interviews over Zoom with Chief Entrepreneur Founders of artisan cooperatives located in Sub-Saharan Africa. Documents from the cooperatives were analyzed to triangulate the cooperatives’ current projects and efforts.FindingsThree prevalent themes emerged: (1) key partnerships, (2) benefits of the cooperative and (3) change and growth among the women and communities. Empowerment was felt through both economic and social impacts upon the women.Research limitations/implicationsThis article captures the perspective of the Chief Entrepreneur Founders and their observations and experiences the women shared with them. Emic perspectives from the women who participate in the artisan cooperatives is the focus of future research.Practical implicationsThese social enterprises serve as exemplary models for other cooperatives to provide dignified and sustainable work to impact the lives of women serving in these communities.Originality/valueThis study contributes research on social entrepreneurship within artisan cooperatives. It provides a baseline for further research on the artisan sector specifically for the sustainable development goals of gender equality, decent work and economic growth.
Improvement of tensile strength of fused deposition modelling (FDM) part using artificial neural network and genetic algorithm techniques
Authors: Boppana V. Chowdary , Ali Fahraz 
Published: October 2023

PurposeThis paper presents an experimental investigation in establishing the relationship between FDM process parameters and tensile strength of polycarbonate (PC) samples using the I-Optimal design.Design/methodology/approachI-optimal design methodology is used to plan the experiments by means of Minitab-17.1 software. Samples are manufactured using Stratsys FDM 400mc and tested as per ISO standards. Additionally, an artificial neural network model was developed and compared to the regression model in order to select an appropriate model for optimisation. Finally, the genetic algorithm (GA) solver is executed for improvement of tensile strength of FDM built PC components.FindingsThis study demonstrates that the selected process parameters (raster angle, raster to raster air gap, build orientation about Y axis and the number of contours) had significant effect on tensile strength with raster angle being the most influential factor. Increasing the build orientation about Y axis produced specimens with compact structures that resulted in improved fracture resistance.Research limitations/implicationsThe fitted regression model has a p-value less than 0.05 which suggests that the model terms significantly represent the tensile strength of PC samples. Further, from the normal probability plot it was found that the residuals follow a straight line, thus the developed model provides adequate predictions. Furthermore, from the validation runs, a close agreement between the predicted and actual values was seen along the reference line which further supports satisfactory model predictions.Practical implicationsThis study successfully investigated the effects of the selected process parameters - raster angle, raster to raster air gap, build orientation about Y axis and the number of contours - on tensile strength of PC samples utilising the I-optimal design and ANOVA. In addition, for prediction of the part strength, regression and ANN models were developed. The selected ANN model was optimised using the GA-solver for determination of optimal parameter settings.Originality/valueThe proposed ANN-GA approach is more appropriate to establish the non-linear relationship between the selected process parameters and tensile strength. Further, the proposed ANN-GA methodology can assist in manufacture of various industrial products with Nylon, polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG) and PET as new 3DP materials.

Authors: Somers Mark 
Published: October 2023

Purpose
This study aims to develop a framework for applying performance management principles to implementing a pluralistic model of scholarly impact in business schools to increase the value and relevance scholarly research to multiple stakeholder groups.

Design/methodology/approach
Performance management principles were studied with case study data of scholarly impact that included bibliographic measures and altmetrics. An analytical model was built for a focal business school that provided benchmarks for managing scholarly impact by using data from three peer schools.

Findings
Bibliographic, scholarly output measures and altmetrics were consistent across the focal school and peer schools, thereby providing a solid foundation for establishing performance benchmarks for annual performance reviews, promotion and tenure decisions and organizational impact goals.

Practical implications
This paper provides guidance for designing, building and implementing performance management systems to foster scholarly impact.

Originality/value
This paper integrates pluralistic impact models and performance management systems to build faculty expertise and align it with multiple impact domains.
Do CSR performance and reporting facilitate access to debt financing in emerging markets? The role of asset structure and firm performance
Authors: Uyar Ali , Gerged Ali Meftah , Kuzey Cemil , Karaman Abdullah S. 
Published: October 2023

Purpose
This study aims to guide firms in emerging markets on whether corporate social responsibility (CSR) engagement facilitates their access to debt with the moderation of asset structure and firm performance. Considering the moderating effect analysis, this study explores the substitutive or complementary effect of these two contingencies on CSR-oriented firms in accessing debt financing.

Design/methodology/approach
Drawing on data collected for 16 emerging markets between 2008 and 2019, this study runs country–industry–year fixed-effects regression.

Findings
This study finds that CSR performance and reporting facilitate access to debt in emerging markets. However, CSR performance does not have an inverted U-shaped influence on firms’ access to debt financing. The moderation analysis of this study shows that asset tangibility has a negative moderating effect on the link between CSR engagements (i.e. both CSR performance and reporting) and access to debt, confirming a substitutive relationship between asset tangibility and CSR engagements in accessing debt. In contrast, firm performance is positively moderating the nexus between CSR engagement proxies and access to debt, which confirms a complementary type of relationship between firm performance and CSR engagements in accessing debt.

Practical implications
The empirical evidence of this study implies that creditors critically consider CSR engagements of firms in the loan-granting decision process. Similarly, the inverted U-shaped relationship between CSR and access to debt implies that there is an optimal level of CSR engagement creditors might consider in their decision. Likewise, the moderating effects analysis highlights that asset tangibility and firm performance are two conditions under which CSR performance and reporting are linked to access to debt.

Originality/value
Emerging countries are a different set of countries than developed ones; they have high growth rates and hence need financing, have a weaker institutional environment and have weaker stakeholder power. These particularities motivated the authors to conduct a separate study focusing on CSR and debt financing links drawing on a wide range of emerging countries. Thus, this study adds to the ongoing debate by examining the conditions under which CSR-oriented firms can access debt financing in emerging economies.
The impact of investor protection on stock market volatility
Authors: Silva João , Febra Lígia , Costa Magali 
Published: October 2023

Purpose
This study aims to advance knowledge on the direct impact of the investor’s protection level on the stock market volatility, that is, whether investor’s protection is an important stock market volatility determinant.

Design/methodology/approach
A panel data was estimated using a sample of 48 countries, from 2006 to 2018, totalizing 31,808 observations. To measure stock market volatility and the investor protection level, a generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity model and the World Bank Doing Business investor protection index were used, respectively.

Findings
The results evidence that the protection of investors’ rights reduces the stock market volatility. This result indicates that a high level of investor protection, which is the result of a better quality of laws and policies in place that protect investor’s rights, promotes the country as a “safe haven.”

Practical implications
The relationship that the authors intend to analyze becomes important, given that investor protection will give outsiders guarantees on the materialization of their investments. This study contributes important knowledge for investors and for the establishment of government policies as a way of attracting investment.

Originality/value
Although there have been a few studies addressing this relationship, to the knowledge, none of them directly analyses the influence of investor protection on the stock market volatility.
A scoping review of the dietary information needs of people with inflammatory bowel disease
Authors: Miglioretto Chiara , Beck Eleanor , Lambert Kelly 
Published: October 2023

AbstractAimsThis review aimed to explore and describe the dietary information needs of individuals with inflammatory bowel disease and sources of information.MethodsA scoping review of English language articles and grey literature, using electronic databases with a predefined search strategy was undertaken. Data were synthesised based on the identified variables (e.g. dietary information needs and sources of dietary information) corresponding to the aims of this review.ResultsForty‐six studies were included, reporting data from 7557 people with inflammatory bowel disease, of which 58.6% had Crohn's disease and 60.1% were males. Dietary information was rated very important and appeared to be influenced by the disease course. The need to discuss it is heightened at important stages, namely diagnosis and relapse. Dietary information was described broadly and included advice about foods to avoid and dietary advice for symptoms management. No major differences were noted in the dietary information needs of people with Crohn's disease compared to ulcerative colitis. The main sources of dietary information were the gastroenterologist (36%–98%), the internet (9%–60%) and non‐dietetic professionals (84.7%).ConclusionThis review highlights limited literature describing the dietary information needs of people with inflammatory bowel disease. Importantly, the limited access to specialised dietary advice for this cohort is concerning. Future studies are required to explore not only the nuances in the needs of those with active disease and in remission, but to further understand issues of access to specialised dietary advice to provide holistic person‐centred care desired by this cohort.

Published: October 2023

AbstractA new series of flavonoids and quinolone derivatives were designed, synthesized and, evaluated for their biological activity. Among them, compound 14e showed better inhibition potency against TNKS2 in comparison with G007‐LK, one of the most potent preclinical stage TNKS inhibitor. Molecular docking results showed that 14e occupied both the adenosine and nicotinamide pockets and formed a hydrogen bond with Met1054 of TNKS2. This study provides a lead for the design and discovery of potent and selective TNKS2 inhibitors.

Authors: Wu Bin‐Zhang , Ma Fei‐Fei , Yan Xiao‐Yan , Sun Feng 
Published: October 2023

AbstractObjectivesTo gauge the relative accuracy of the use of passive and active dynamic navigation systems when placing dental implants, and to determine how registration areas affect the performance of these systems.Materials and MethodsEighty implants were assigned to be placed into 40 total resin mandible models missing either the left or right first molars using either passive or active dynamic navigation system approaches. U‐shaped tube registration devices were fixed in the edentulous site for 20 models each on the left or right side. Planned and actual implant positions were superimposed to assess procedural accuracy, and parameters including 3D entry deviation, angular deviation, and 3D apex deviation were evaluated with Mann–Whitney U tests and Wilcoxon signed‐rank tests.ResultsRespective angular, entry, and apex deviation values of 1.563 ± 0.977°, 0.725 ± 0.268 mm, and 0.808 ± 0.284 mm were calculated for all included implants, with corresponding values of 1.388 ± 1.090°, 0.789 ± 0.285 mm, and 0.846 ± 0.301 mm in the active group and 1.739 ± 0.826°, 0.661 ± 0.236 mm, and 0.769 ± 0.264 mm in the passive group. Only angular deviation differed significantly among groups, and the registration area was not associated with any significant differences among groups.ConclusionsPassive and active dynamic navigation approaches can achieve comparable in vitro accuracy. Registration on one side of the missing single posterior tooth area in the mandible can complete single‐tooth implantation on both sides of the posterior teeth, highlighting the promise of further clinical research focused on this topic.
The influence of load correlation on vibration fatigue damage of symmetrical notched cantilever beam structures
Authors: Luo Zhengbo , Zhou Cheng , Fan Xin , Wang Yaobin , He Guangzong , Chen Huaihai 
Published: October 2023

AbstractThis paper aims to develop an innovative multiaxial fatigue criterion based on the stress invariant, in order to perform the fatigue damage analysis of engineering structures subjected to random vibrations. First, the change rule of structural vibration fatigue lifetime under different load correlation conditions is systemically studied by experiments. Then, the finite element analysis of such a structure, including the modal analysis and the spectral analysis, is implemented in order to compute the response stress power spectral density (PSD) functions at the critical fatigue‐prone location under coupled random acceleration base excitations. Finally, the influence rule of load correlation on the vibration fatigue damage of such a symmetrical structure is theoretically illustrated through formula derivation. Moreover, combined with the critical distance theory point method, the proposed time/frequency‐domain multiaxial fatigue criterion is applied for vibration fatigue lifetime evaluation of the structure. The lifetime prediction accuracy of the proposed multiaxial fatigue criterion is verified by comparing with the vibration fatigue test results.
Preparation of cellular SiBOC foams by thermo‐foaming of polymethylvinylborosiloxane–wheat flour dough
Authors: Painuly Anil , Saraswathy Raji , Prabhakaran Kuttan 
Published: October 2023

AbstractA novel method for the preparation of SiBOC foams from a polymethylvinylborosiloxane (MVBS) solution in ethanol using wheat flour as a foam stabilizer and pore template has been reported. A dough prepared by mixing the MVBS solution and wheat flour undergoes foaming at 180°C due to the stabilization of bubbles created by ethanol vapor by the adsorption of wheat flour particles on their surface. The ceramization of the foamed body at 1500°C followed by burnout of carbon produced from the wheat flour results in SiBOC foams of hierarchical pore structure. The foam density (.68–.44 g cm−3), average cell size (1.81–.58 mm), compressive strength (3.9–1.7 MPa), and thermal conductivity (.33–.21 W m−1 K−1) decrease with an increase in wheat flour to MVBS weight ratio from .25 to 1. The population of smaller pores (∼5–50 μm) created by wheat flour particles on cell walls and struts increases with an increase in wheat flour to MVBS weight ratio. The presence of β‐SiC and turbostratic graphite nanodomains in amorphous SiBOC is evidenced by X‐ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy analysis.

AbstractBackgroundAge is a major risk factor for venous thromboembolism (VTE), yet patients aged ≥90 years are under‐represented in clinical trials of anticoagulant therapy. The objectives were to describe and compare patient clinical characteristics, treatments, and outcomes (VTE recurrence, bleeding, and mortality) during the first 3 months of anticoagulation between VTE patients aged ≥90 years and those aged <90 years.MethodsWe analyzed data from the Registro Informatizado Enfermedad TromboEmbὀlica (RIETE), an ongoing global observational registry of patients with objectively confirmed acute VTE.ResultsFrom January 2001 to October 2022, 96,701 patients were registered in RIETE, of whom 3262 (3.4%) were aged ≥90 years. Patients aged ≥90 years were less likely to be men, and to have experienced cancer or recent surgery, but more likely to manifest immobility, chronic heart failure, anemia, renal insufficiency, or dementia than those aged <90 years. Most (99.6%) patients aged ≥90 years were receiving anticoagulant therapy. During the first 3 months, 26 patients aged ≥90 years developed VTE recurrences, 116 experienced major bleeding, and 564 died. Among patients initially presenting with pulmonary embolism (PE), deaths due to PE exceeded those due to fatal bleeding (76 vs. 19). Among those initially presenting with isolated deep‐vein thrombosis (DVT), it was the reverse (2 vs. 11 deaths).ConclusionsIn patients aged ≥90 years, the difference in the outcome of anticoagulant treatment depending on the initial presentation of VTE could suggest a need for different management approaches. Clinical trials evaluating the optimal duration of anticoagulation according to initial VTE presentation are warranted to limit excess deaths in this particular population.

Published: October 2023

AbstractObjectiveAnalyze the research state and development trend of photodynamic therapy for dermatology using visual knowledge graphs derived from the Web of Science Core Collection database.MethodsThe Web of Science Core Collection database was utilized as the search data source for the bibliometric analysis, and the associated articles published between January 1, 2000, and December 31, 2022, were obtained using the search terms “photodynamic therapy” and “dermatology”. CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and additional tools were utilized for bibliometric analysis, and visual knowledge graphs were created.ResultsEight hundred and thirty two articles were retrieved in total, and 747 were included following de‐duplication and transformation. The country with the greatest number of publications is the United States; the primary research institution was University of Copenhagen; and the references with the highest centrality were primarily concerned with the selection of photosensitizers; High frequency keywords primarily comprised 5 aminolevulinic acid and basal cell carcinoma; and the clustering graph revealed that all keywords fell into 11 categories.ConclusionIn numerous areas of dermatology, photodynamic treatment is commonly employed. Current research focuses on nonneoplastic skin diseases and the choice of photosensitizers. Nonetheless, its specific mechanism and other applications merit further investigation.

Published: October 2023

AbstractAimsTo describe the health literacy (HL) levels of hospitalised patients and their relationship with nursing diagnoses (NDs), nursing interventions and nursing measures for clinical risks.DesignRetrospective study.MethodsThe study was conducted from December 2020 to December 2021 in an Italian university hospital. From 146 wards, 1067 electronic nursing records were randomly selected. The Single‐Item Literacy Screener was used to measure HL. Measures for clinical risks were systematically assessed by nurses using Conley Index score, the Blaylock Risk Assessment Screening Score, Braden score, and the Barthel Index. A univariable linear regression model was used to assess the associations of HL with NDs.ResultsPatients with low HL reported a higher number of NDs, interventions and higher clinical risks. HL can be considered a predictor of complexity of care.ConclusionsThe inclusion of standardised terms in nursing records can describe the complexity of care and facilitate the predictive ability on hospital outcomes.Implications for the profession and/or patient careHL evaluation during the first 24 h. From hospital admission could help to intercept patients at risk of higher complexity of care. These results can guide the development of interventions to minimise needs after discharge.Patient or Public ContributionNo patient or public contribution was required to design or undertake this research. Patients contributed only to the data collection.
