Just the way my brain works: capabilities for working with data in non-clinical practice
Authors: Sukovic Suzana 
Published: November 2023

PurposeEffective use of data is critically important for the provision of health services. A large proportion of employees in health organisations work in non-clinical roles and play a major part in organisational information flows. However, their practice, data-related capabilities and learning needs have been rarely studied. The purpose of this paper is to investigate issues of capabilities and learning needs related to employees' interactions with data in non-clinical work roles.Design/methodology/approachThe study used a mixed-method approach. Qualitative methods were used to explore issues, and survey was administered to gather additional data.FindingsData use and related capabilities at the workplace are highly contextual. A range of general, core and data-specific capabilities, underpinned by transferable skills and personal traits, enable successful interactions with data. Continuous learning is needed in most areas related to data use.Research limitations/implicationsThe study was conducted in a large public-health organisation in Australia, which is not representative of unique organisations elsewhere. The study has implications for the provision of health services, workplace learning and education.Practical implicationsFindings have implications for organisational decisions related to data-use and workplace learning, and for formal education and lifelong learning.Originality/valueThe study contributes to closing a research gap in understanding interactions with data, capabilities and learning needs of employees in non-clinical work roles. Capabilities continuum presented in this paper can be used to inform education, training and service provision. The workplace-based results contribute to theoretical considerations of capabilities required for work in technology-rich environments.
African family dynamics and family business – a perspective article
Authors: Odame Doreen Nyarko Anyamesem , Hinson Robert E. 
Published: November 2023

PurposeDespite the potential benefits of family businesses, their dynamics present peculiar challenges that hinder the realisation of their full potential. This paper sought to assess the relationship between family dynamics and business development in Africa. The authors explored the dynamics of African family structures and how these structures impact family businesses.Design/methodology/approachThe paper adopted an analytical and interpretative approach to existing literature and contemporary practices in family business operations. The approach helped to synthesise emerging trends in family business operations and offered novel insights into family-owned businesses.FindingsThe findings revealed that, though family businesses have a lot to contribute to development, family dynamics can threaten their sustainability if not well moderated. Based on the findings, the authors recommend trust and transparency as critical pillars for sustained family-owned business growth. They recommend further that communication channels, documented policies and procedures and well-established feedback channels are strategies that can guide stakeholders in family businesses to build trust and transparency in the business.Originality/valueThe paper throws light on the unique contributions of family businesses to communities and individuals and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). It is also an eye-opener to this relatively grey area and opens deeper discussions about sustaining family businesses.
“Fake it to make it”: exploring product counterfeiting in Türkiye
Authors: Bural Dilara , Lloyd Anthony , Antonopoulos Georgios A. , Kotzé Justin 
Published: November 2023

Purpose
This paper aims to explore the issue of product counterfeiting in Türkiye and assess Türkiye’s role in the global supply chain of counterfeit goods. It sheds light on the supply-side dynamics of counterfeiting in the Turkish context.

Design/methodology/approach
Interviews were conducted with 46 key experts, including police officers, customs officers and trademark attorneys. The study also incorporated data from a documentary analysis of counterfeit products seized by the Bulgarian Customs.

Findings
The findings of this study highlight the significant role of Türkiye in international supply chains, serving as both a manufacturing hub for a wide array of counterfeit products and a crucial transit point for goods bound for European markets. This study suggests that counterfeiting serves as a source of livelihood for many individuals in Türkiye, with counterfeiters often justifying their activities by claiming they contribute to the country’s economy through job creation and the influx of foreign currency.

Research limitations/implications
While qualitative research is essential for exploring nuanced aspects and gaining in-depth insights, it may not provide the statistical robustness and generalizability associated with larger quantitative studies.

Originality/value
This paper is an original contribution to the understanding of product counterfeiting in Türkiye, a major counterfeit-producing country, with potential implications for the future of consumer protection and market integrity.
The role of inside debt in banks’ M&A choices: wealth expropriation or conflict resolution?
Authors: Yang Ziyun , Zhang Lanyi Yan , Yan Claire J. 
Published: November 2023

Purpose
This study investigates the impact of bank CEOs’ inside debt on shareholder benefits in the context of bank mergers and acquisitions (M&A) before the 2008–2009 financial crisis.

Design/methodology/approach
Employing an event-study methodology, this analysis delves into market reactions to bank M&A announcements during 2006–2007, encompassing 105 M&As by 79 public commercial banks. This era witnessed heightened risk-taking behavior on the verge of the financial crisis. We explore the relation between relative inside debt and market abnormal returns at M&A announcements and the association between relative inside debt and cash payment preferences in M&As.

Findings
Evidence suggests that M&A announcements from banks where acquiring CEOs hold a substantial inside debt experience favorable stock market reaction, particularly for smaller banks. Additionally, banks with elevated CEO inside debt tend to favor cash as a payment mode for M&As.

Research limitations/implications
One limitation of this study is the short period of data availability. The data used in this study covers only 2006 and 2007, the periods marked by notable risk-taking activities on the verge of the financial crisis. Although this period is perfectly suitable for our investigation, given the prevalence of conflicts between equity and debt holders, it is essential to acknowledge that our findings may not capture changes or trends over time. Nevertheless, the results offer valuable insights into the factors that influence the behavior of the studied population. Future research could employ a longitudinal design to address this limitation and gain a more comprehensive understanding of the dynamics over extended periods.

Practical implications
Our study has significant implications for businesses and policymakers as it provides insights into the factors contributing to financial crises and how compensation mechanisms can be used to moderate bank risk-taking. We propose that CEO inside debt compensation presents a plausible mechanism that boards of directors can incorporate into bank executive compensation contracts. By doing so, they can promote value-enhancing investments and moderate excessive risk-taking, thereby safeguarding the financial stability of individual banks and overall financial system.

Originality/value
Our study sheds light on the beneficial role of bank CEO inside debt for shareholders, contributing empirical backing to the conflict resolution viewpoint in the discourse on wealth appropriation. From a regulatory stance, our findings advocate for the inclusion of bank CEO inside debt in executive remuneration agreements. Such a strategy can empower boards of directors to mitigate undue risk and enhance shareholder value in M&As, safeguarding both individual bank and broader financial system stability.
Twitter killed the media star: a historical evolution of marketing communication used by Spanish universities
Authors: Orgilés-Amorós Macarena , Ruiz Moreno Felipe , Penagos-Londoño Gabriel I. , Tabuenca-Cuevas Maria 
Published: November 2023

Purpose
In recent decades, higher education institutions (HEIs) have increasingly adopted marketing-oriented approaches. While the adoption of marketing was slower in Europe and Spain, it has become a vital tool for HEIs, both to stay competitive in a changing socio-economic context and to face the challenges posed by the transition to the University 2.0 model. This study aims to analyse the historical evolution of communication techniques used by universities, bringing into focus the relevance of social networks in the most recent decades.

Design/methodology/approach
This research methodology consists of two components. Firstly, a comprehensive analysis of the available data is conducted to investigate the earliest marketing and communication actions involving universities, as well as their evolution over time, contextualizing this within the significant shifts in the social, political and technological background. Secondly, a specific focus is placed on the contribution of social media, particularly Twitter, as a powerful tool in creating a university brand and effectively promoting educational institutions, especially during the last stage of this historical evolution. To identify and analyse these trends, Natural Language Processing is used, specifically by leveraging topic modelling techniques.

Findings
The results of this analysis offer insights into the evolution of marketing communication applied by Spanish universities and show the increasing importance of social networks and the use of specific topics and contents to enhance their impact on engagement.

Originality/value
This study contributes to the literature by using a novel methodological approach to the research on the historical development of communication in universities in Spain, providing guidance to manage their social media strategy to differentiate themselves, increase engagement and foster brand loyalty.
Toward a model to enhance the applicability of blockchain in maritime shipping: a qualitative study from the Middle East
Authors: Abushaikha Ismail , Albahsh Rana , Alsayes Mustafa , Al-Anaswah Mohammad 
Published: November 2023

Purpose
Existing literature is still lacking field works that reflect the implications and applications of blockchain in supply chain management. This paper aims to explore the role of blockchain technology in improving the performance of maritime shipping and develop a model to enhance blockchain applicability.

Design/methodology/approach
Qualitative data were collected through 28 semi-structured interviews from several supply chain actors in the Middle East and were analyzed based on a thematic analysis approach using NVivo software.

Findings
An emerging model for improving the performance of the maritime shipping industry through blockchain technology has been developed. The findings suggest that there are transparency and process efficiency–related improvements as an outcome of Blockchain implementation in the maritime shipping industry.

Practical implications
As shipping industry is largely fragmented, small players find it difficult to achieve great benefits such as those achieved by larger players in the sector. The authors’ model provides guidance for the implementation of Blockchain.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is one of the first scholarly works to investigate Blockchain applicability in shipping industry in the Middle East. The lack of a universal standard is a considerable challenge which is still hindering the development of blockchain applications that integrate the different actors.
Impact of British fall in Burma on Bengal famine of 1943: experience of Faridpur district of Bangladesh
Authors: Islam Muhammad Saiful 
Published: November 2023

PurposeAfter the fall of Burma on 10 March 1942 the British government extensively implemented scorched-earth policies in Bengal like denial of rice and boats. The British government had inadequate defense equipment to resist Japanese attack in Bengal. After the Japanese invasion supply of Burmese rice suddenly stopped. Faridpur district used to import rice from Burma. The Burmese conquest created an immediate and serious crisis for several rice imported districts and coastal districts of Bengal. Hence, none of the districts of East Bengal could escape its brutal clutches and severity recorded in Chittagong, Dhaka, Faridpur, Tripura, Noakhali, Bakargonj and so on.Design/methodology/approachAmong the affected districts of Bengal, Faridpur has been chosen as study area due to severity of famine. This study addresses the famine scenario of Faridpur. Data has been collected from primary and secondary sources. Content Analysis Research method is used to test reliability and validity of the data. Historical Analysis Research method has been followed in this study.FindingsFinding of the study shows that the government relief issues, ignorance of warnings, political nepotism and denial policy of British government intensified the famine of Faridpur district. The wartime tactics adopted by the colonial government aggravated the famine situation. This article has shed light on the government war time policy, activity and some impacts of British decline in Burma that fueled the famine in Faridpur district.Originality/valueThis study is my original research work and has not been published else where.
The carbon footprint of global trade: Assessing the impact of trade liberalization on the carbon emissions of Chinese listed companies
Authors: Cai Meng , Li Dan , Jin Jiaming , Cui Luoyuan 
Published: November 2023

AbstractThere is growing concern about the relationship between carbon emissions and trade liberalization. Have carbon emissions been affected by trade liberalization? To what extent has it been affected? To answer this question, we creatively constructed a dataset of Chinese listed companies and its re‐appraisal, using the difference‐in‐difference method to investigate the impact of trade liberalization on carbon emissions at the micro level. Our results show that WTO accession leads to lower carbon emission intensity for Chinese exporters engaged in general trade compared to those engaged in processing trade, which are not directly affected by China's WTO accession. In other words, trade liberalization is beneficial for the reduction of carbon emissions and sustainable development. We also test the robustness of our results. In addition, we decompose the question of how trade liberalization affects companies' carbon emissions into research and development mechanism and productivity mechanism for analysis. Our study refines the model of carbon emission and trade issues by incorporating company import indicators and carbon emission indicators into the company production model. It also has important policy implications. Green trade and reduce carbon emissions should be advocated when developing the economy through trade liberalization.
Forensic examination of security features of the CDC‐issued COVID‐19 vaccination card and suggested improvements to minimize counterfeiting
Authors: Sheth Devansh , De Alcaraz‐Fossoul Josep 
Published: November 2023

AbstractDuring the COVID‐19 pandemic, the United States released the CDC‐issued vaccination card to document the status of immunizations. It eventually was used as a verification system to allow patrons to safely access public venues. This is/was apparently a simple printed piece of paper with minimal security features which made it an easy target for counterfeiters with little expertise required. Those unvaccinated who wished to enter areas that required proof of the COVID‐19 vaccine were soon finding alternative illegal methods to do so which led to public health concerns. This research was divided into two parts. Part A aimed to forensically identify the security features with a video spectral comparator and a stereomicroscope. Ten “known” blank cards were collected directly from dispensaries that administered the vaccine and 68 “unknowns” from individuals who received the COVID‐19 vaccine. Part B aimed to evaluate the authentication systems employed by countries outside the United States to propose a model on how the vaccination card could be improved and what security features should be included for future instances requiring proof of immunization. The results revealed the CDC document was produced with minimal security features making the document prone to counterfeiting. Furthermore, based on the information collected from other countries' vaccination certificates, it is recommended to develop a dual authentication system, with digital and printable aspects, that contains a QR code linked to a database. Other security features may include a non‐optical brightener substrate, security fibers, a watermarked logo, offset printing, and a geographical color‐coded system.
A reliability study of the Park Life public participatory geographic information system survey
Authors: Hooper Paula , Edwards Nicole 
Published: November 2023

AbstractPlanning policy for parks is typically guided by a standard approach that fails to account for how communities actually use parks. Moreover, few researchers know the exact parks people use, even though “use” is often hypothesised in the relationships being tested. Public participatory geographic information systems (PPGISs) present an opportunity to collect specific, spatially referenced information on park use and park‐based activities. However, the reliability of these instruments has not been studied. The Park Life PPGIS captured residential location, park location, and park‐based behavioural data from a sample of adults and was tested for reliability. Kappa scores and intra‐class correlations assessed the reliability of the items. Recall of individual items all showed acceptable reliability and mostly achieved “substantial” agreement or “near‐perfect” agreement. The Park Life PPGIS is a reliable instrument to capture park use and activities. Such information is essential for public health and physical activity researchers, urban planners, and park managers to develop informed planning and public health policies and programs that promote park use.
Baseline haemoglobin variability by measurement technique in pregnant people on the day of childbirth
Authors: Caulfield K. C. , McMahon O. , Dennis A. T. 
Published: November 2023

SummaryPoint‐of‐care haemoglobin measurement devices may play an important role in the antenatal detection of anaemia in pregnant people and may be useful in guiding blood transfusion during resuscitation in obstetric haemorrhage. We compared baseline haemoglobin variability of venous and capillary HemoCue® haemoglobin, and Masimo® Rad‐67 Pulse CO‐Oximeter haemoglobin with laboratory haemoglobin in people on the day of their planned vaginal birth. A total of 180 people undergoing planned vaginal birth were enrolled in this prospective observational study. Laboratory haemoglobin was compared with HemoCue and Masimo Rad‐67 Pulse CO‐Oximeter measurements using Bland–Altman analysis, calculating mean difference (bias) and limits of agreement. Five (2.8%) people had anaemia (haemoglobin < 110 g.l‐1). Laboratory haemoglobin and HemoCue venous haemoglobin comparison showed an acceptable bias (SD) 0.7 (7.54) g.l‐1 (95%CI ‐0.43–1.79), with limits of agreement ‐14.10–15.46 g.l‐1 and acceptable agreement range of 29.6 g.l‐1. Laboratory and HemoCue capillary haemoglobin comparison showed an unacceptable bias (SD) 13.3 (14.12) g.l‐1 (95%CI 11.17–15.34), with limits of agreement ‐ 14.42–40.93 g.l‐1 and unacceptable agreement range of 55.3 g.l‐1. Laboratory and Masimo haemoglobin comparison showed an unacceptable bias (SD) ‐14.0 (11.15) g.l‐1 (95%CI ‐15.63 to ‐12.34), with limits of agreement to ‐35.85 to 7.87 g.l‐1 and acceptable agreement range of 43.7 g.l−1. Venous HemoCue, with its acceptable bias and limits of agreement, should be applied more widely in the antenatal setting to detect, manage and risk stratify pregnant people with anaemia. HemoCue capillary measurement under‐estimated haemoglobin and Masimo haemoglobin measurement over‐estimated, limiting their clinical use. Serial studies are needed to determine if the accuracy of venous HemoCue haemoglobin measurement is sustained in other obstetric settings.
Evaluation of enoxaparin for bridging of warfarin in outpatients with left ventricular assist devices (LVADs)
Authors: Hiruy Aklil , Anderson Keith , Bhattacharya Sanjeeb , Lee Ran , Williams James B. 
Published: November 2023

AbstractBackgroundPatients with left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) require systemic anticoagulation. The use of enoxaparin for bridging to warfarin remains understudied in this population.MethodsThis single‐center retrospective study was performed to characterize enoxaparin use and associated thrombotic and bleeding outcomes in adult outpatients with LVADs from January 2018 to July 2021.ResultsFifty‐four enoxaparin bridging events were evaluated in 49 patients. Most patients with HeartMate II (HM2) and HeartWare (HVAD) devices received enoxaparin dosed 1 mg/kg every 12 h. In patients with HeartMate 3 (HM3) devices, an equal number of patients received 0.5 mg/kg every 12 h and 1 mg/kg every 12 h, with a smaller subset receiving intermediate doses. The median duration of bridging was 6 days (4–8 [IQR]). One major bleeding event required discontinuation of enoxaparin and hospitalization in a patient with an HM3 device. Thrombotic events occurred in four patients with two incidents of pump thrombosis requiring pump exchange and two ischemic strokes. All thrombotic events occurred in patients with HVAD or HM2 devices.ConclusionThese results suggest that enoxaparin bridging in LVAD patients was well‐tolerated with low bleeding and thrombotic rates, particularly with the HM3 device.
Valuation Effects of US–China Trade Conflict: The Role of Institutional Investors
Authors: Chen Jiahui , Nie Guangyu 
Published: November 2023

AbstractEmploying an event study approach to the US–China trade conflict, we found that this conflict had an overall negative effect on the stock market performance of Chinese listed firms, but firms with institutional investor holdings (IIH) exhibited smaller losses than their counterparts in response to a US presidential memo announcing a trade conflict. We also examined the heterogeneous effects of this conflict on firms. The positive effect of IIH was larger for firms with foreign exposure and firms located in provinces with a higher degree of marketization. Institutional investor holdings helped to reduce firms' cost of refinancing and improved their long‐run performance given the same short‐term loss in response to the US presidential announcement during the trade conflict. These findings explain the role of institutional investors in alleviating the effects of the US–China trade conflict and achieving financial stability from a micro‐perspective. The results have policy implications for corporate governance and financial market stabilization in response to trade policy uncertainty.
