Safe Augmentation Mastopexy: Review of 500 Consecutive Cases Using a Vertical Approach and Muscular Sling
Authors: Hubaide Marcus , Ono Marcelo T. , Karner Bruno M. , Martins Luciano V. , Pires Jefferson A. 
Published: January 2024

Background:
Augmentation mastopexy remains a challenging surgery and has been frequently associated with suboptimal outcomes and remarkable reoperation rates, and one of the greatest challenges in mastopexy surgery is areolar lift, especially when implants are simultaneously used. Through the authors’ experience, this study is aimed to show a modification of the vertical approach with greater safety of the areolar pedicle.

Methods:
The study included all patients who underwent augmentation mastopexy surgery performed by the authors between 2019 and 2022, whether primary or nonprimary, and performed a retrospective chart review of all patients who underwent this procedure.

Results:
The length of the areolar lift ranged from 0 cm to 14 cm. Among the 17.4% of nonprimary mastopexies, the longest areolar lift was 11 cm. No cases of nipple–areola complex ischemia/necrosis were observed. With this technique, there were 6.2% complications (n = 31), none of which were considered serious.

Conclusions:
This surgical sequence is a safe option for areolar lift in augmentation mastopexy. The vertical approach also has the advantage of producing considerably shorter horizontal scars. It is also reproducible, keeping the implant stable, which results in consistent long-term results.
Infantile Hemangioma of the Breast: Long-Term Assessment of Outcomes
Authors: Labow Brian I. , Alshamekh Shomoukh A. , Carlberg Valerie M. , Zacur Jennifer L. , Uihlein Lily C. , Mulliken John B. , Liang Marilyn G. 
Published: January 2024

Background:
The literature is meager regarding the natural history and outcomes of infantile hemangiomas (IHs) in the breast. Treatment in childhood may be considered due to psychosocial and physical concerns with breast development. Early surgical intervention may cause iatrogenic breast asymmetry and possibly impair lactation later in life. This study characterizes the clinical presentation, management, and long-term outcomes of IHs arising in the breast.

Methods:
Female patients aged 11 years or older at presentation were included in a retrospective review of the Vascular Anomalies Center database for patients with IHs of the breast seen at our institution between 1980 and 2020. Breast development was ascertained by a structured telephone interview, physical examination, or photographs.

Results:
A total of 10 patients met criteria for inclusion in this study. The median age at enrollment was 14 years (11–36 years). Breast asymmetry was noted in 60% of patients (n = 6). Of the four patients who underwent subtotal excision of breast IH, three developed ipsilateral breast hypoplasia. Breast asymmetry was also noted in three of five patients who did not receive medical treatment: two with hypoplasia and one with hyperplasia. No asymmetry was noted in the single patient who received corticosteroid.

Conclusions:
IHs involving the nipple–areola complex can be associated with breast asymmetry. Hypoplasia was noted in patients not treated with corticosteroid or resection in childhood. These findings suggest that systemic treatment should be considered. Longitudinal follow-up on patients treated with propranolol will elucidate its possible benefits in minimizing breast asymmetry.
National Estimates of Home Care Workers Nonfatal Emergency Department–Treated Injuries, United States 2015–2020
Authors: Derk Susan J. , Hendricks Kitty J. , Hartley Dan 
Published: January 2024

Objective
Home care workers (HCWs) are a critical resource contributing to the well-being of others. Presented are data on HCWs nonfatal emergency department (ED)–treated injuries.

Methods
Nonfatal injuries among HCWs were extracted from the NEISS-Work data between 2015 and 2020.

Results
Review of NEISS-Work data indicated 117,000 HCWs with nonfatal ED-treated injuries; female HCWs accounted for 93%. Overexertion and bodily reactions accounted for 52% of the injuries. Violence and other injuries by persons or animals accounted for 15% and falls, slips, and trips also accounted for 15% of the HCWs ED-treated injuries.

Conclusions
The growing demand for home care services is increasing the number of workers at risk for injury. Future analyses should prioritize injury events among HCWs to gain a better understanding of the events contributing to injuries among HCWs.
Visual familiarity learning at multiple timescales in the primate inferotemporal cortex
Authors: Mohan Krithika , Pereira-Obilinovic Ulises , Srednyak Stanislav , Amit Yali , Brunel Nicolas , Freedman David 
Published: January 2024

AbstractHumans and other primates can rapidly detect familiar objects and distinguish them from never-before-seen novel objects. We have an astonishing capacity to remember the details of visual scenes even after a single, fleeting experience. This ability is thought to rely in part on experience-dependent changes in the primate inferotemporal cortex (IT). Single neurons in IT encode visual familiarity by discriminating between novel and familiar stimuli, with stronger neural activity on average for novel images. However, key open questions are to understand how neural encoding in IT changes as images progress from novel to highly familiar, and what learning rules and computations can account for learning-dependent changes in IT activity. Here, we investigate the timescales over which novel stimuli become familiar by recording in IT as initially novel images become increasingly familiar both within and across days. We identified salient and persistent memory-related signals in IT that spanned multiple timescales of minutes, hours, and days. Average neural activity progressively decreased with familiarity as firing rates were strongest for novel, weaker for intermediately familiar, and weakest for highly familiar images. Neural signatures of familiarity learning were slow to develop as response reductions to initially-novel images emerged gradually over multiple days (or hundreds of views) of visual experience. In addition to slow changes that emerged across sessions, neural responses to novel images showed rapid decreases with familiarity within single sessions. To gain insight into the mechanisms underlying changes of visual responses with familiarity, we use computational modeling to investigate which plasticity rules are consistent with these changes. Learning rules inferred from the neural data revealed a strong diversity with many neurons following a ‘negative’ plasticity rule as they exhibited synaptic depression over the course of learning across multiple days. A recurrent network model with two plasticity time constants – a slow time constant for long timescales and a fast time constant for short timescales – captured key dynamic features accompanying the transition from novel to familiar, including a gradual decrease in firing rates over multiple sessions, and a rapid decrease in firing rates within single sessions. Our findings suggest that distinct and complementary plasticity rules operating at different timescales may underlie the inferotemporal code for visual familiarity.
Characteristics of notational expression by decomposition of Steven Holl’s sketches
Authors: Mori Yurika , Dewancker Bart 
Published: January 2024

PurposeThis study is about the expression of sketches in Steven Holl's architectural works. Holl shares his architectural ideas as watercolors with his staff, and he has established an original notational expression for the design process. This study investigates the elements of sketches as a notation method and examines the timeline changes.Design/methodology/approachClassification will be conducted using KJ method (Kawakita Jiro method), a method for organizing information developed by the Japanese cultural anthropologist Kawakita Jiro. Using the KJ method, this study compiled a list as a table about the pictures, letters, etc. in the sketches and grouped them together in the same attributes. The attributes that were grouped together were identified as elements of the sketches.FindingsAs a result, in the early 1970s, Holl used only line drawings for sketches, but since the 1980s, watercolor sketches have been increasingly used. Extracting the elements of sketches, it can divide them into drawing and describing expressions and classify them into three main types of pictorial expressions: Overview, Plan and Concept.Originality/valueThis study has shown that the closer the sketches were to the present, the more they combined elements of a more complex sketch with letters and symbols as well as pictorial expressions. This is the first study to investigate about sketch representations established as notations by Steven Holl. This study identified the elements that make the architectural concept visible through sketches.
Complements or substitutes? Domestic and international network search and SME ambidexterity
Authors: Wright Joanne , Fiedler Antje , Fath Benjamin 
Published: January 2024

Purpose
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) use networks to overcome knowledge deficiencies in pursuing innovation. However, balancing the cost and risk of growing networks, especially internationally, with potential gains in knowledge remains a critical challenge. Searching for innovation knowledge in international and domestic networks can be complementary when learning is compressed or as competing when the SMEs capacity to use the new knowledge is exceeded. This paper aims to investigate whether knowledge searches in domestic and international networks are complementary or conflicting in pursuit of innovation.

Design/methodology/approach
This study is based on firm-level data set comprising 426 SMEs located in New Zealand, an advanced small and open economy. Using multi-level modelling, this study tests competing hypotheses, asking whether domestic and international network searches are complements or substitutes when seeking ambidexterity.

Findings
The research finds that, in contrast to earlier research, which shows increasing network breadth drives innovation activity, SMEs benefit less from knowledge search across combined domestic and international networks for exploration innovation and ambidexterity. In contrast, exploitation shows no effect, suggesting that combined networks could support exploitation.

Originality/value
This paper highlights how SMEs mitigate the influence resource constraints have on the partnerships they form and how this translates to ambidexterity. Specifically, recognising that an opportunistic approach to network development may impose future constraints on SME ambidexterity. From a management perspective, the paper recognises that balancing knowledge search across domestic and international networks can facilitate ambidexterity; however, to prevent spreading resources too thinly, this likely requires exit from early domestic innovation network partnerships.

Published: January 2024

PurposeThe rapid development of urban areas in Sleman District, Indonesia, has created new challenges for firefighting response services. One of the primary challenges is to identify the optimal locations for new fire stations, to improve service quality and maximize service coverage within the specified time.Design/methodology/approachThis paper proposes a method for precisely calculating travel time that integrates delay time caused by traffic lights, intersections and congestion. The study highlights the importance of precise calculation of travel time in order to provide a more accurate understanding of the service area covered by the fire stations. The proposed method utilizes network analysis in ArcGIS, the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) and simple additive weighting (SAW) to accurately calculate travel time and to identify the best locations for new fire stations. The identification of new site was based on service safety, service quality, service costs and demographic factors and applied to the Sleman district in Indonesia.FindingsThe results showed that the total area covered by old and new fire stations decreased from 61% to 31.8% of the study area when the adjusted default speed scenario was implemented.Practical implicationsThe results indicated that the default speed scenario could provide misleading information about the service area, while the adjusted default speed scenario improved service quality and maximized service coverage.Originality/valueThe proposed method provides decision-makers with an effective tool to make informed decisions on optimal locations for new fire stations and thus enhance emergency response and public safety.
Is there a relationship between housing deprivation and crime? Evidence for the Spanish case
Authors: Torres-Tellez Jonathan 
Published: January 2024

Purpose
Crime increased in Spain during the period of 2017–2019 after a decade of decline. This coincides with severe housing deprivation multiplying by three in just four years, affecting 3.4% of the population in 2020. However, no research has been found that analyzes whether this deterioration of the physical conditions of housing and its environmental elements has impacted the level of crime in Spain. This study aims to analyze how housing deprivation affects crime in the Spanish context.

Design/methodology/approach
For this purpose, different items that are considered by Eurostat as elements of housing deprivation are used. The difference generalized method of moments estimator is used for 16 Spanish regions that comprises the period from 2013 to 2019.

Findings
The results suggest that certain structural and environmental elements of housing are positively associated with crime: space (0.5% and 0.4%) and high housing expenditure (0.4% and 0.5%) are positively correlated with the two dependent variables; the lack of light and overcrowding stand out as they establish a positive and statistically significant association with four out of the six analyzed crime categories; the absence of lighting effect reaches up to 1.8% and 1.7% in the case of violent robberies and vehicle theft, respectively. Finally, pollution is negatively associated with robbery with violence (−1.9%), theft (−0.7%) and robbery with force (−0.5%).

Originality/value
To the best of the author’s knowledge, this is the first study that examines whether this deterioration of the physical conditions of housing has impacted the level of crime in Spain. It is also pioneering at the European level by using nonmonetary dimensions of inequality such as housing.
Dynamic efficiency in MENA stock markets during COVID-19 outbreak and vaccines
Authors: Belhoula Mohamed Malek , Mensi Walid , Naoui Kamel 
Published: January 2024

PurposeThis paper examines the time-varying efficiency of nine major Middle East and North Africa (MENA) stock markets namely Egypt, Bahrain, UAE, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Morocco and Tunisia during times of COVID-19 pandemic outbreak and vaccines.Design/methodology/approachThe authors use two econometric approaches: (1) autocorrelation tests including the wild bootstrap automatic variance ratio test, the automatic portmanteau test and the Generalized spectral test, and (2) a non-Bayesian generalized least squares-based time-varying model with statistical inferences.FindingsThe results show that the degree of stock market efficiency of Egyptian, Bahraini, Saudi, Moroccan and Tunisian stock markets is influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic crisis. Furthermore, the authors find a tendency toward efficiency in most of the MENA markets after the announcement of the COVID-19's vaccine approval. Finally, the Jordanian, Omani, Qatari and UAE stock markets remain globally efficient during the three sub-periods of the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak.Originality/valueThe results have important implications for asset allocations and financial risk management. Portfolio managers may maximize the benefit of arbitrage opportunities by taking strategic long and short positions in these markets during downward trend periods. Policymakers should implement the action plans and reforms to protect the stock markets from global shocks and ensure the stability of the stock markets.
Internationalization at Home from a Chinese perspective: the case of iZJU
Authors: Qu Lijuan , Dai Yuwen 
Published: January 2024

Purpose
Higher education institutions have a critical role in creating and disseminating the knowledge required to address the complex global challenges faced by global society, as summarized in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This role of higher education is linked with the concept of internationalization, which has recently been called upon to help contribute to tackle the global challenges and meet the SDGs, particularly through more attention to “Internationalization at Home” (IaH). This paper aims to examine the role of higher education in addressing the SDGs, especially with respect to the links between IaH and the SDGs.

Design/methodology/approach
A case study of the International Campus of Zhejiang University (iZJU) is conducted to illustrate how iZJU, which is a pioneer of “Internationalization at Home” and an exemplar of sustainable campus in China, contributes to the value of the SDGs and makes an impact.

Findings
The authors examine the practice of IaH at iZJU in the dimensions of organization, curriculum, people and campus, and the authors find evidence from the iZJU model in addressing the value of the SDG4, 6, 7, 11, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17.

Originality/value
First, the authors contribute to the literature on the role of higher education in addressing the SDGs, especially with respect to the links between IaH and the SDGs. Second, the authors contribute to the IaH literature by examining IaH from a Chinese perspective, as there has been little exploration of what IaH means beyond the European context. Third, the authors build on the analytical framework in the IaH literature in the dimensions of organization, curriculum and people and extend with a new dimension of campus. Fourth, the authors show that IaH is a comprehensive approach to include both curriculum internationalization and campus internationalization.
Research on fatigue curve fitting methods based on the notch stress approach
Authors: Xue Shengfu , He Zhengping , Chen Bingzhi , Xu Jianxin 
Published: January 2024

PurposeThis study investigates the fitting techniques for notch fatigue curves, seeking a more reliable method to predict the lifespan of welded structures.Design/methodology/approachBuilding on the fatigue test results of butt and cruciform joints, this research delves into the selection of fitting methods for the notch fatigue curve of welded joints. Both empirical formula and finite element methods (FEMs) were employed to assess the notch stress concentration factor at the toe and root of the two types of welded joints. Considering the mean stress correction and weld misalignment coefficients, the notch fatigue life curves were established using both direct and indirect methods.FindingsAn engineering example was employed to discern the differences between the direct and indirect approaches. The findings highlight the enhanced reliability of the indirect method for fitting the fatigue life curve.Originality/valueWhile the notch stress approach is extensively adopted due to its accurate prediction of component fatigue life, most scholars have overlooked the importance of its curve fitting methods. Existing literature scantily addresses the establishment of these curves. This paper offers a focused examination of fatigue curve fitting techniques, delivering valuable perspectives on method selection.
Sports team success and managerial decisions: the role of playing-time concentration
Authors: Cardazzi Alexander , Humphreys Brad R. , Reddig Kole 
Published: January 2024

PurposeProfessional sports teams employ highly paid managers and coaches to train players and make tactical and strategic team decisions. A large literature analyzes the impact of manager decisions on team outcomes. Empirical analysis of manager decisions requires a quantifiable proxy variable for manager decisions. Previous research focused on manager dismissals, tenure on teams, the number of substitutions made in games or the number of healthy players on rosters held out of games for rest, generally finding small positive impacts of manager decisions on team success.Design/methodology/approachThe authors quantify manager decisions by developing a novel measure of game-specific coaching decisions: the Herfindahl–Hirschman Index (HHI) of playing-time across players on a team roster over the course of a season.FindingsEvidence from two-way fixed effects regression models explaining observed variation in National Basketball Association team winning percentage over the 1999–2000 to 2018–2019 seasons show a significant association between managers’ allocation of playing time and team success. A one standard deviation change in playing-time HHI that reflects a flattened distribution of player talent is associated with between one and two additional wins per season, holding the talent of players on the team roster constant. Heterogeneity exists in the impact across teams with different player talent.Originality/valueThis is one of the first papers to examine playing-time concentration in the NBA. The results are important for understanding how managerial decisions about resource allocation lead to sustained competitive advantage. Linking coaching decisions to wins can help teams to better promote this core product.
Purpose wins? A study of purpose-profit orientations, stakeholder perceptions and trust in firms
Authors: Peters Suzanne 
Published: January 2024

PurposeThe research seeks to evaluate stakeholder perceptions of firms, the extent these assessments impact trust in firms and possible implications for sustainability communications.Design/methodology/approachThree studies were undertaken involving two experiments (n = 436, n = 393) and one survey (n = 217). Analyses of variance was used in all three studies and in studies 2 and 3—to test for possible mediators—each variable was tested using Hayes' PROCESS macro (Hayes, 2013) with bootstrapping of 5,000 samples.FindingsResults demonstrate significant favouring of sustainability-minded firms. Some differences between consumers and investors were found but also notable commonalities such as a general propensity to favour purpose-oriented firms and similar determinations of trust in firms.Practical implicationsFindings could support more effective sustainability communications and firm decisions regarding investments in purpose- and sustainability-oriented initiatives. The results may also support designs to pursue and promote designations (e.g. B Corp) that legitimize sustainability claims.Originality/valueThis research was unique in its evaluation of two stakeholder types in the same context. Further, it provides new insights into how a firm’s profit-purpose orientation affects stakeholder perceptions and assessments of trustworthiness.
