Advancing a case for critical realism in forensic mental health scholarship and practice with youth convicted of sexual offences
Authors: Pereira Roxanne , Ngo Hieu 
Published: January 2025

Purpose
Critical realism presents a philosophical and paradigm shift in forensic mental health scholarship and practice with youth convicted of sexual offences, which addresses current deficits in the risk management approach. Through universalism and essentialism, the dominant risk management approach classifies diverse youth by criminal behaviour and risk through predictive algorithms with a failure to account for history and oppression. In contrast, critical realism addresses identity, environment and adolescent development in practice with youth convicted of sexual offences while providing explanatory depth and a focus on social justice. The purpose of this paper is to provide an alternative perspective through critical realism and address deficits in the risk management approach with youth convicted of sexual offences.

Design/methodology/approach
From a critical realism perspective, this paper critiques the applicability of the risk management approach with youth convicted of sexual offences by addressing tensions in the existing scholarship and practice. This paper provides clinical examples and practical application of critical realism to ground the conceptual perspective.

Findings
The authors argue that critical realism provides a critical alternative to tensions in the existing scholarship and practice with youth convicted of sexual offences through the addition of context, explanatory depth and a focus on social justice.

Practical implications
Intersectionality and developmental life course theoretical perspectives offer nuanced contextual approaches to incorporate complexity and diversity into practice with YCSOs. Explanatory depth through critical realism urges scholars to go beyond empiricism to the deeper structures and explanations for a phenomenon. A focus on social justice includes analysis of history, power and oppression in scholarship and practice with youth convicted of sexual offences. Quantitative criticalism is an example of an emerging theory that informs methods which emphasize social justice. Practice recommendations include moving beyond conceptualizing culture as a responsivity factor alone to the incorporation of diverse knowledges and ways of being. Desistance scholarship and practice approaches that include narrative redemptive scripts are examples of approaches consistent with critical realism that focus on strengths and intersectionality theory.

Originality/value
Critical realism is an under-utilized paradigm within forensic mental health, which is heavily focused on the dominance of the risk management approach. In scholarship and practice with youth convicted of sexual offences, a critical realism perspective adds context, explanatory depth, and a focus on social justice.

Published: January 2025

PurposeThe study aims to address the gap between leaders’ preventative self-regulatory focus and its impact on Chinese primary care physicians (PCPs) well-being, measured by work–family spillover stress and work exhaustion and on healthcare quality, measured by preventive service delivery and clinical guideline adherence.Design/methodology/approachThis paper conducted a cross-sectional in-person survey with 38 leaders and 224 PCPs in 38 primary health centers (PHCs) in Jinan, Tianjin, Shenzhen and Shanghai. Guided by the regulatory focus theory, this paper built hierarchical linear regression models to examine the association between the leadership’s regulatory focus and physician burnout, work–family conflict, clinic guideline adherence and preventive service delivery.FindingsThis paper added the knowledge of leadership’s regulatory focus impact on the well-being and medical service quality of PCPs. Prevention regulatory focus of leaders was significantly associated with work exhaustion and physicians’ reported work–family conflict. There is no significant association between leadership’s prevention regulatory focus and PCPs’ preventive service delivery or clinical guideline adherence.Research limitations/implicationsData on the regulatory focus of PCPs were not collected. Future studies should collect longitudinal data, allowing for exploration of the mechanism.Practical implicationsThis paper revealed that PHC leaders should restructure their leadership focus away from preventive regulatory behavior, promoting a team atmosphere and enhancing PCP attitudes, behaviors and well-being.Social implicationsTo improve the well-being of PCPs and the quality of medical services, our results recommend a focus on establishing a positive organizational culture and addressing the emotional and professional needs of PCPs. To achieve these aims, policymakers should implement measures that promote a more comprehensive and balanced regulatory focus within PHC institutions. These measures should aim to create an environment that supports physician well-being and enhances the quality of healthcare services. Providing ample resources and support, promoting a collaborative team atmosphere and encouraging open communication are vital to empowering PCPs.Originality/valueThis study examined the preventive regulatory focus of PHC leaders on the well-being and medical service quality of PCPs in China.

Published: January 2025

PurposeHealth technologies are an issue that directly affects the sustainability and quality of health services. Due to budget constraints, it is not financially possible for businesses to apply comprehensive improvement strategies to all these criteria. In this case, it is possible for businesses to implement more priority strategies. Accordingly, the main purpose of this study is to evaluate the important performance indicators of health technology investments.Design/methodology/approachFirstly, with the help of the artificial intelligence system, a decision matrix is established. Secondly, spherical fuzzy total order of preference decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory methodology is taken into consideration for weighting the criteria. Thirdly, emerging seven countries are ranked by using spherical fuzzy MultiAtributive Ideal-Real Comparative Analysis (MAIRCA).FindingsThe findings demonstrate that the criteria of health policies and research and development are defined as the most significant factor in this regard. China and Turkey are also found to be the most successful emerging countries with respect to the performance of health technology investments.Originality/valueThe main contribution of this study is that a novel decision-making model is generated by integrating artificial methodology into the spherical fuzzy sets.
The missing links of value congruence: evidence from the Thai healthcare workforce
Authors: Dechawatanapaisal Decha 
Published: January 2025

PurposeThis study aims to investigate possible factors, such as trust in management and shared vision, that influence value congruence and its mediating effect on work engagement. It also explores how resilience, functioning as a moderator, could change the nature of the links between value congruence and its determinants.Design/methodology/approachData were collected through an online survey from 301 healthcare employees in Thailand. Hypotheses were tested and analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis, structural equation modeling and bootstrapping procedures.FindingsThe results reveal that value congruence mediates the positive impacts of trust in management and shared vision on work engagement. Trust in management and shared vision translate into higher levels of value congruence, more so when employees are highly resilient.Practical implicationsThe findings suggest that healthcare administrators should design interventions to cultivate trustworthy leadership behaviors in daily operations while improving communication of the organization’s overarching vision and objectives to help employees internalize and seamlessly integrate its core values into their own professional identities.Originality/valueDespite the extensive research on value congruence and its outcomes, little is known about its development. This study makes a valuable contribution by addressing these missing links, particularly in hospital settings. It also highlights how resource management explains the ways in which resilience in practice influences employees’ value congruence at work.

Published: January 2025

PurposeHealthcare designers are fundamental to implementing therapeutic gardens in hospitals and healthcare facilities. They can guide clinical practitioners and healthcare decision-makers with a design plan to create sustainable healing environments for the medical treatment of their patients and a sanctuary away from the clinical hospital environment for their staff and visitors. This article presents the experience of 12 global healthcare designers, experts in architecture, landscape architecture and health planning, and how they design and establish therapeutic hospital gardens (THG) to be sustainable for clinical practitioners and healthcare decision-makers.Design/methodology/approachAnalysis of these semi-structured interviews led to the establishment of guidelines for architects, landscape architects and health planners to design and establish therapeutic gardens that are sustainable healing environments integrated into hospital care.FindingsThese THG Healthcare Designer guidelines include five systematic steps: (1) include THG early, (2) design for hospital user needs, (3) conduct inclusive and defined stakeholder engagement, (4) draw on lessons learnt and (5) develop a comprehensive design brief.Originality/valueHealthcare designers, for the first time, have five systematic steps to immediately guide the profession to work alongside clinical practitioners and healthcare decision-makers to successfully create THG. When these three sectors work together, then, THG can be sustainably integrated into the clinical hospital program, enabling wholesome and compassionate hospital care.
Selection‐mediated adaptive responses of native species to an invasive grass: Shade tolerance vs. shade avoidance
Authors: Stotz Gisela C. , Cahill James F. , Gianoli Ernesto 
Published: January 2025

Abstract

Studies suggesting that native plant species adapt to invasive species are accumulating, but we still have little evidence of native species performance recovery over time, following phenotypic selection by invaders.

The following sequential evidence is sufficient to infer selection‐mediated native species performance recovery in response to the interaction with an invader: (i) a decrease in native species' performance in recently invaded areas, (ii) phenotypic selection on native species' functional traits within invaded areas, and in time (iii) trait changes in the direction of selection and (iv) recovery of native species' performance.

In a field study in a Canadian grassland, we tested for the outlined sequential evidence in three native species in response to the invader Bromus inermis, whose growth habit significantly reduces light availability. Phenotypic selection was measured on two key traits associated with shade tolerance and avoidance: leaf area and plant height, respectively.

Only one species, Artemisia ludoviciana, met all four criteria, thus showing evidence consistent with an adaptive response to B. inermis: increased shade tolerance in response to selection (increased leaf area), further recovering its performance. No such evidence was found for the other two species: we observed a lack of selection on key traits upon encountering the invader in Hesperostipa curtiseta and no response to selection in Achillea millefolium.

Identifying the functional strategies plants can adopt to coexist with an invader is key to inform restoration and management strategies. The present study points to moving beyond the documentation of adaptation by native species to invaders. Specifically, following the proposed framework, future research would increase our understanding of when and how native species may adapt to persist and thrive within invaded areas, further identifying potential constraints to adaptive responses.

Circular Economy Capabilities for Slowing Resource Loops at Small Businesses in China, Finland and Japan – An Institutional Logics Perspective
Authors: Rovanto Savu , Virtanen Yuan 
Published: January 2025

AbstractExisting circular economy (CE) research has primarily explored capabilities for the principle of closing resource loops (recycle and recover) in limited institutional contexts. However, little is known about the capabilities for the principle of slowing resource loops (reduce and reuse), despite its alignment towards achieving net zero economies. This research investigates capabilities for slowing resource loops at small CE businesses and the influence they experience from institutional logics in three CE‐pioneering countries of China, Japan and Finland, with a focus on low‐technology applications. The study uncovered capabilities in four themes: professional foundations, emotional engagement, interaction with the market community and (re)inventing the profession. The key differentiating influence in China was the markets’ shift to online; in Finland, it was positive attitudes towards sustainability; and in Japan, it was the connection of certain slowing practices to the country's rich cultural history. The study concludes that the influence of the institutional logic of the profession appeared similarly in the three countries, while the market influences differentiated the contexts. In the slowing‐oriented professions, trading mid‐lifecycle items called for specific capabilities for emotional engagement. The capabilities at small businesses were closely attached to persons rather than organizations.
The Populist Playbook: Why Identity Trumps Policy and How Democrats Can Adapt
Authors: Brieba Daniel , Velasco Andrés 
Published: January 2025

AbstractDespite their poor record in office, populists continue to win elections. Traditional models that assume a narrow definition of self‐interest fail to explain the electoral resilience of populism. Contrary to conventional wisdom, voters typically make choices based on their social identities and support candidates with whom they can identify. Because populism is a variety of identity politics—always based on ‘us’ versus ‘them’—democrats and liberals seeking to counter it should play the identity game in a virtuous way, rather than vilify it or pretend it does not exist. More specifically, they should try to build inclusive identities through a liberal patriotic narrative that fosters a sense of shared fate across diverse groups. This article discusses specific features of this narrative and the supporting conditions it requires to become a plausible alternative to right‐wing populists’ divisive appeals.
The Maaloop Framework: Enabling a Systems‐Level Common Operating Picture in Multiagency Disaster Management
Authors: Drummond Greg , Thompson Matthew B. , Gill David 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTEmergency management operations are a complex system involving multiagency hierarchical command structures requiring coordination of significant volumes of information, resourcing and effort across expansive disaster zones within restricted timeframes and with potentially catastrophic consequences. Within these environments establishing a timely and shared understanding among different levels of command and across agencies is crucial yet remains a significant challenge. The problem is subsequently framed as ʻhow can the establishment of a systems‐level common operating picture across hierarchical commands and different agencies be improved in the context of complex emergency management and disaster response?ʼ To address this, we present the Maaloop Framework which builds upon the insights gained from previous research within the context of threat assessment, sensemaking, and critical decision‐making in police, military, ambulance, and firefighting contexts. To the observer trained in its application, it aims to provide an instant, point‐in‐time, global and detailed visual intelligent product of (i) the amount of information identified by decision makers at each location; (ii) how confident those decision makers are in the information and its application to resolve an incident; (iii) how the decision maker in adjacent command levels are using the information being fed to them. In turn, it will assist in improving individual and collective understanding regardless of position within a command hierarchy or agency jurisdiction. We submit that the Maaloop Framework does no more than describe the common constructs and concepts identified in the literature describing decision‐making within these industries and the broader study of decision‐making in the field of psychology. Therefore, this framework is intended to provide a solution to provide systems‐level common operating picture and an initial basis for increased communication and understanding across complex crisis events.
Review article: Efficacy of cyproheptadine in the management of serotonin toxicity following deliberate self‐poisoning – A systematic review
Authors: King Emily , Rotella Joe A 
Published: January 2025

AbstractSerotonin toxicity is a potentially fatal condition caused by increased serotonergic activity in the central nervous system. Cyproheptadine, a serotonergic antagonist, is recommended for treatment; however, there is a lack of evidence to support its use. The present study aimed to evaluate the evidence for the use of cyproheptadine in the management of serotonin toxicity following deliberate self‐poisoning. Publications from 2003 were identified by searching electronic databases Cochrane, MEDLINE, EMBASE and PsycINFO. The inclusion criteria for studies to be included were determined a priori and consisted of studies published in English (or where an English translation was available) where the primary diagnosis of serotonin toxicity (or syndrome) following deliberate self‐poisoning and cyproheptadine was administered as the sole serotonergic antagonist. Studies were evaluated for quality and risk of bias. Twelve articles were identified, of which 11 were case reports and one was a case series. Serotonin toxicity was most attributed to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and all cases fulfilled Hunter serotonin toxicity criteria. Cyproheptadine regimen varied widely with respect to reporting of initial dose, repeat doses, frequency and duration. Few reports commented on clinical resolution and therefore efficacy was not established. All studies were graded as being of very low evidence and at high risk of bias. There is a lack of evidence to support the efficacy of cyproheptadine or its recommendation in clinical guidelines pertaining to the management of serotonin toxicity.

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTBackgroundRight ventricular (RV) failure is a well‐recognized pivotal prognostic factor of adverse outcomes in pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH), while RV dilation provides significant implications for adaptive or maladaptive changes. PAH is a predominant cause of mortality among patients with connective tissue disease (CTD). This study aims to elucidate the prognostic significance of RV morphology, as assessed by echocardiography (ECHO), in with CTD associated with PAH (CTD‐PAH).MethodsIn this ambispective cohort study, 143 CTD‐PAH patients diagnosed by right‐sided heart catheterization (RHC) from 2013 to 2023 were enrolled. Clinical characteristics, laboratory data, echocardiographic parameters (right ventricular end‐diastolic basal diameter index (RVDDI), tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) and pulmonary arterial systolic pressure (PASP)) and therapy were recorded. The primary endpoint was defined as clinical worsening within a five‐year timeframe. Analytical methods included Kaplan–Meier survival analyses, the log‐rank test, and multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression to evaluate prognostic factors.ResultsThe study enrolled a total of 143 patients with CTD‐PAH, with a notable female predominance (95.1%) and a median age of 41.67 years; SLE‐PAH (49%) and pSS‐PAH (34%) were the most common subtypes, and 94% of the participants were in WHO‐FC II‐III. Among the participants, 34 (23.8%) patients experienced clinical worsening during a median follow‐up period of 21 months. After adjusting for confounders such as age and sex, RVDDI, as determined by ECHO was correlated with clinical worsening (HR 1.090; 95% CI: 1.019–1.166; p = 0.012). RVDDI > 25.81 mm/m2 predicts higher incidence of clinical worsening in CTD‐PAH. In the subgroup of TAPSE/PASP > 0.19 mm/mmHg, patients with RVDDI > 25.81 mm/m2 had a higher incidence of clinical worsening. The estimated event‐free survival rates at 1 and 3 years were 93.5% and 53.7%, respectively.ConclusionThe study demonstrates that RVDDI, as evaluated by ECHO, is a significant prognostic indicator for clinical worsening in CTD‐PAH. Its inclusion in the assessment of RV function and risk stratification may provide valuable incremental prognostic information for this CTD‐PAH population.
Does ESG Performance Affect Supply Chain Concentration? Evidence From China
Authors: Feng Panpan , Zhang Yimeng , Jeon Seongil 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTThis study aims to examine the impact of corporate environmental, social responsibility, and corporate governance (ESG) performance on supply chain concentration in the Chinese capital market. It finds that corporate ESG performance reduces supply chain concentration by increasing firms' information transparency and bargaining power. Additionally, digital transformation positively moderates the relationship between ESG performance and supply chain concentration. Further analyses indicate that the dampening effect of corporate ESG performance on supply chain concentration is more pronounced among firms that are non‐state‐owned and have higher financing costs. These findings offer valuable practical guidance for Chinese listed companies and governments.
