Tackling health inequalities through integrated care in English police custodies: an inclusion perspective and model of care
Authors: Picior Mihai 
Published: December 2023

PurposeThe purpose of this research is to identify novel ways of tackling health inequalities of underserved populations. It explores the opportunities presented by the changes in health and social care legislation to employ historically underused services, such as police custody healthcare providers, in addressing health inequalities.Design/methodology/approachThis research analyses the policy approaches to tackling health inequalities in the UK in the past 40 years with an emphasis on those experienced by the people detained in English police custodies. It analyses the current model of healthcare in police custody and proposes a novel integrated model of care and joint commissioning opportunities in funding it.FindingsPolicies to tackle health inequalities have largely failed, as they became entrenched. But recent changes in the health and social care legislation in England offer opportunities to address them by employing historically underused healthcare services, such as those operating in police custodies.Research limitations/implicationsThe research does not touch upon ethical considerations related to the patient privacy aspect of integrated care. Interventions by and interactions with police custody healthcare providers would be visible to all professionals with access to the patient’s health record. As with all novel interventions or innovative models of care, the effectiveness of such clinical interventions remains to be established by further research. It opens a new line of research on quality improvement through integration of care and explores understudied aspects of joint commissioning of integrated care.Practical implicationsIt offers health commissioners and public health leaders the opportunity to employ police custody healthcare services in reaching their population health management objectives and meeting their health inequalities objectives at local level. It also gives police and crime commissioners the opportunity to address the health drivers of criminal behaviour that overlap with health inequalities. It offers funding opportunities presented by jointly commissioning services at lower costs to both police and health commissioners alike. It improves the health outcomes of historically underserved populations by facilitating access to health and social care services and facilities.Social implicationsReducing health inequalities and disparities in health outcomes can decrease the costs of the healthcare services over the long term and might contribute to reducing criminality by addressing inequities and some health drivers of criminal behaviour.Originality/valueThe paper explores understudied opportunities offered by the recent changes in health and social care legislation in England and includes underused resources to tackle health inequalities.

Published: December 2023

PurposeThis paper analyses whether the humanisation of smart home speakers can improve users' attitudes towards covert information collection. Additionally, it examines the direct and indirect impact of trust, social presence and user's perceived surveillance on attitude towards covert information collection.Design/methodology/approachA total of 679 American users of smart home speakers are surveyed, and their responses are analysed using structural equation modelling. Mediating effects are also examined.FindingsHumanisation increases social presence, improves users' attitude towards covert information collection and has a U-shaped effect on trust. A negative effect of humanisation on perceived surveillance is demonstrated. Social presence reduces perceived surveillance levels and improves users' attitude towards covert information collection.Originality/valueWe examine attitude towards covert information collection as a new outcome variable. This study contributes to the growing body of research on humanisation by providing new evidence of how humanisation helps improve users' attitude towards covert information collection and generates trust in the service provider. This research indicates the important role of social presence.
How the characteristics of social media influencers and live content influence consumers' impulsive buying in live streaming commerce? The role of congruence and attachment
Authors: Shao Zhucheng 
Published: December 2023

PurposeAiming to address the problem in which practitioners mindlessly prioritise the reputation of social media influencers (SMIs) over ensuring proper congruence between the influencers themselves and content marketing strategies, this study develops a conceptual framework that adopts an elaboration likelihood model and attachment theory to ascertain the effects of SMIs, live content marketing and their congruency on impulsive buying (IB).Design/methodology/approachThrough collecting cross-sectional data from 608 valid replies, this study adopts an integrated method that combines partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM), artificial neural network (ANN) and fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) to analyse.FindingsThe results reveal that the credibility and relevance of live content, the empathy and professionalism of SMIs, and their congruence are critical antecedents of consumers' attachments to live content and SMIs, thus triggering their attachment to endorsement and IB.Originality/valueIn knowledge, this study benefits the scope of the elaboration likelihood model and attachment theory and enriches live streaming commerce literature. In method, an integrated analytical method is used to cope with complex structural relationships in non-linear patterns and predictions, as well as examine the complex causal configurations. In practice, this study facilitates practitioners to further ascertain what attributes in live content and SMIs can foster customer's emotional attachments in choosing endorsers and developing endorsement strategies, thus driving their IB.
The relationship between older adults’ perceptions of ageing and depression: a systematic review
Authors: Hartley Gemma , Purrington Jack 
Published: December 2023

Purpose
Perceptions of ageing towards the self and towards others can positively and negatively impact an older adult’s mental wellbeing. This paper aims to consolidate literature examining the relationship between perceptions of ageing and depression in older adults to inform both practice and policy for older adult mental health services.

Design/methodology/approach
Quantitative research articles examining perceptions of ageing and depression in older adults were identified through searches on three electronical databases, alongside forward and backwards citation searches. A total of 14 articles involving 31,211 participants were identified.

Findings
Greater negative attitudes towards ageing were associated with higher levels of depressive symptoms and greater positive attitudes towards ageing were associated with lower levels of depressive symptoms or higher levels of happiness. However, the causal direction of this relationship could not be determined. Studies demonstrated that perceptions of ageing also act as a moderator in the relationship between depression and health status, hopelessness and personality traits. Future research should attempt to examine the relationship between perceptions of ageing and depression in older adults to attempt to identify the causal direction of this relationship.

Originality/value
This is the only systematic review the authors are aware of consolidating literature which explores the relationship between older adults’ perceptions of ageing and depression. It is hoped that these findings will be able to inform both policy and practice to improve older adults’ care and support for depression.
Consumers expectations toward luxury brands websites: a qualitative analysis through the lens of personal and interpersonal motivations
Authors: Veg-Sala Nathalie , Geerts Angy 
Published: December 2023

Purpose
Nowadays all luxury brands have their own websites, using them either as a communication and/or distribution tool. However, luxury consumers might still have different perceptions regarding these websites, as it can be seen as a loss of prestige or selectivity. This study aims to have a deeper understanding of luxury consumers’ perceptions of luxury brand websites by identifying a typology and defining the individual characteristics of the groups identified.

Design/methodology/approach
The research uses the opposition of personal and interpersonal luxury as theoretical framework and the semiotic square based on this semantic opposition. A qualitative analysis based on 42 semi-structured interviews has been conducted. The interviews have been analyzed and subjected to interpretive content analysis.

Findings
The analysis of the verbatims shows that the consumers’ motivations toward luxury consumption (luxury for self or personal, luxury for others or interpersonal, negation of luxury for self and negation of luxury for others) can explain consumer differences in terms of attitudes toward luxury brand websites. The four classes are characterized according to their positive and negative perceptions of e-commerce and interaction tools used in luxury brands websites and also their expectations.

Practical implications
This study defines guidelines for managers to develop luxury brand websites that correspond to their target.

Originality/value
The originality of this study lies in the use of the semiotic square to refine the analysis of luxury consumers’ attitudes and to make more precise contributions. It also relies on using the theory of personal and interpersonal luxury to understand consumers’ expectations toward luxury brands websites.
RpoN (sigma factor 54) contributes to bacterial fitness during tracheal colonization of Bordetella bronchiseptica

Published: December 2023

AbstractThe Gram‐negative pathogenic bacterium Bordetella bronchiseptica is a respiratory pathogen closely related to Bordetella pertussis, the causative agent of whooping cough. Despite sharing homologous virulence factors, B. bronchiseptica infects a broad range of mammalian hosts, including some experimental animals, whereas B. pertussis is strictly adapted to humans. Therefore, B. bronchiseptica is often used as a representative model to explore the pathogenicity of Bordetella in infection experiments with laboratory animals. Although Bordetella virulence factors, including toxins and adhesins have been studied well, our recent study implied that unknown virulence factors are involved in tracheal colonization and infection. Here, we investigated bacterial genes contributing to tracheal colonization by high‐throughput transposon sequencing (Tn‐seq). After the screening, we picked up 151 candidate genes of various functions and found that a rpoN‐deficient mutant strain was defective in tracheal colonization when co‐inoculated with the wild‐type strain. rpoN encodes σ54, a sigma factor that regulates the transcription of various genes, implying its contribution to various bacterial activities. In fact, we found RpoN of B. bronchiseptica is involved in bacterial motility and initial biofilm formation. From these results, we propose that RpoN supports bacterial colonization by regulating various bacteriological functions.
One step forward or two steps back? The attitudes of parents of students with disabilities regarding the amendment to the special education law in Israel
Authors: Huri Orna , Shoshana Avihu 
Published: December 2023

AbstractOne prominent change in the amendment to the Special Education Law in the State of Israel (2018) concerns the dissolution of placement committees and their transformation into characterization and eligibility committees. These characterization and eligibility committees determine children's eligibility for special education, whereas parents decide the nature of their school placement. Through in‐depth interviews with parents of school‐aged children with various disabilities, this study examined parents' perceptions of the change in the law and its effects on their children. The interviews revealed four key findings regarding parents' experiences of shifting to a characterization and eligibility committee. The ramifications of the gap between legislative intentions (top‐down educational policy) and parents' experiences as policy subjects (bottom‐up educational implementation) are discussed.
Bat winter foraging habitat use in working forests: a multispecies spatial occupancy approach

Published: December 2023

AbstractInsectivorous bats in temperate zones have evolved strategies such as migration or hibernation to overcome challenges of reduced resource availability and increased energy demand during winter. In the southeastern United States Coastal Plain, bats are either year‐round residents and remain active during winter or are migrants from colder areas seeking milder temperatures. Southeastern Coastal Plain forests also may represent important areas for remnant populations of species impacted by white‐nose syndrome. Working pine (Pinus spp.) forests comprise a large proportion of southeastern Coastal Plain forests, yet winter bat habitat associations and how forest management affects bat use remain understudied. Hence, we used hierarchical multispecies spatial occupancy models to evaluate factors influencing winter bat occupancy and foraging habitat associations in working forests of the southeastern Coastal Plain. From January to March 2020–2022, we deployed Anabat Swift acoustic detectors and measured site‐ and landscape‐level covariates on six working landscapes. We detected five species of bats and three species groups at 93% (224/240) of sites. We observed higher species richness at sites with high proportions of contiguous forest and low levels of basal area. At the species level, occupancy patterns were influenced by site and landscape covariates, which had varying effects on species with distinct foraging strategies. Temperature was an important predictor of detectability. Our findings offer new insights into the ecology of bats in working forest landscapes during winter, where we highlight positive responses in occupancy with contiguous forests and lower levels of basal area, as in previous summer work. By providing valuable information on winter community composition and foraging habitat associations, we hope to guide management decisions for forest attributes important to these species, thus increasing conservation opportunities within working forests.
Optimising acute non‐critical inter‐hospital transfers: A review of evidence, practice and patient perspectives
Authors: Wright Breanna , Baker Tim , Lennox Alyse , Waxman Bruce , Bragge Peter 
Published: December 2023

AbstractIntroductionPatients who present to hospital with an acute non‐critical illness or injury, which is considered outside the capability framework of that hospital to treat, will require inter‐hospital transfer (IHT) to a hospital with a higher level of capability for that condition. Delays in IHT can negatively impact patient care and patient outcomes.ObjectiveTo review and synthesis academic evidence, practitioner insights and patient perspectives on ways to improve IHT from regional to metro hospitals.DesignA rapid review methodology identified one review and 14 primary studies. Twelve practitioner interviews identified insights into practice and implementation, and the patient perspectives were explored through a citizen panel with 15 participants.FindingsThe rapid review found evidence relating to clinician and patient decision factors, protocols, communication practices and telemedicine. Practitioner interviews revealed challenges in making the initial decision, determining appropriate destinations and dealing with pushback. Adequate support and communication were raised as important to improve IHT. The citizen panel found that the main concern with IHT was delays. Citizen panel participants suggested dedicated transfer teams, education and information transfer systems to improve IHT.Discussion and ConclusionCommon challenges in IHT include making the initial decision to transfer and communicating with other health services and patients and families. In identifying the appropriateness of transferring acute non‐critical patients, clear and effective communication is central to appropriate and timely IHT; this evidence review indicates that education, protocols and information management could make IHT processes smoother.

AbstractPurposeComparison of intracytoplasmic sperm injection cycles with testicular sperm extraction in obstructive azoospermia and non‐obstructive azoospermia are limited, and few studies have addressed obstetric and neonatal outcomes.DesignThis study analyzed couples who underwent testicular sperm extraction–intracytoplasmic sperm injection cycles for obstructive azoospermia and non‐obstructive azoospermia to determine whether impaired spermatogenesis in non‐obstructive azoospermia patients would lead to worse reproductive outcomes and higher rates of pregnancy complications and fetal anomalies. This study is a retrospective, single‐center analysis of all testicular sperm cycles performed between January 1, 2001 and December 31, 2020.ResultsA total of 392 couples were considered in the study, leading to 1066 induction cycles, 620 (58.2%) from patients with obstructive azoospermia and 446 (41.8%) from non‐obstructive azoospermia. The cumulative delivery rate did not significantly differ between the two groups (34% vs. 31%; p = 0.326). The miscarriage rate was similar between obstructive azoospermia and non‐obstructive azoospermia patients. Fertilization rate instead showed a statistically significant difference (obstructive azoospermia: 66.1 ± 25.7 vs. non‐obstructive azoospermia: 56.1 ± 27.0; p < 0.001). The overall maternal complication rate in the non‐obstructive azoospermia group was higher (10.7% vs. 18.4%; p = 0.035), but there was no statistical significance for each pathology. There was no statistical difference in gestational age between the two groups for both single and twin pregnancies. Seven cases of congenital defects occurred in the obstructive azoospermia group, while two cases occurred in the non‐obstructive azoospermia group.ConclusionsDespite impaired spermatogenesis in non‐obstructive azoospermia patients, there were no substantial differences in reproductive outcomes compared to patients with obstructive azoospermia, even in terms of obstetric safety and neonatal well‐being.

Published: December 2023

AbstractBackgroundSurgical outpatient clinics continuously face challenges in delivering efficient and effective care. An expanding population and chronic staff shortages makes sustainability critical. The primary objective of this study was to identify modifiable factors contributing to longer wait times in an orthopaedic outpatient clinic.MethodsA single‐centre prospective observational cohort study was conducted at Western Australia's state trauma centre. Over a four‐week period, clinicians completed forms identifying delays in clinic, and clinic numbers were captured through an electronic booking system. Data was analysed using SPSS v27.ResultsFace‐to‐face (FTF) and telehealth (TH) clinic volumes grew by 18.9% and 361.1% respectively between 2018 and 2022. For the study period, 754 forms were completed for attending clinic patients. This captured 42.4% and 96.8% of FTF and TH actual attendance. The average wait time for doctor consultation was 63.9 min. Wait times significantly reduced when x‐rays were performed prior to clinic (P < 0.001), and when an unaccredited registrar held the on‐call phone (P < 0.001). Trauma clinics ran overtime in 95% of cases compared to elective clinics in which 25% ran overtime. The golden staffing ratio was one doctor for 13 patients. TH experienced few delays related to technological fault.ConclusionThis study demonstrates that clinic volume continues to rise. It highlights the demand for adequate staffing and identifies several modifiable factors that influence clinic efficiency. It demonstrates the growth of TH as an alternative modality for outpatient surgical services and its potential for future expansion.
Corporate sustainability professionals: The landscape of sustainability job positions

Published: December 2023

AbstractSustainable development requires several stakeholders, including companies, to take action. For this, employees need to have their positions and sustainability roles defined so they can carry out activities. In turn, activities need alignment with corporate policies and strategy. However, the literature lacks discussion about job specifications and which activities relate to sustainability. Therefore, this article aims to explore the panorama of positions and professional activities of corporate sustainability professionals. To achieve this goal, we conducted a bibliometric assessment of terms related to corporate sustainability professionals and to understand what scholars have addressed in the area thus far. In the second stage, we tackle this problem by conducting a world survey of 143 professionals working in sustainability‐related positions. The methods are complementary because they provide different types of information that can be used to gain insights into research topics and trends. In this sense, this research contributes to the literature and practice in two main ways. First, the sustainability professionals' positions are still recent and under construction; few sustainability professionals are leaders. Second, this research identified that the sustainability professionals' actions focus on the environmental dimension, suggesting that companies have to invest more in social and governance dimensions. In addition, the findings evidence the need for more reporting on these dimensions as well as aligning all sustainability‐related policies, practices and activities with the strategy's company. Theoretical and practical implications, such as the need for more training on sustainability aspects, and the study's limitations are also addressed.
