Ownership structure and firm performance: evidence from Saudi Arabia
Authors: Boshnak Helmi A. 
Published: March 2023

Purpose
This study aims to examine the impact of ownership structure variables on the performance of Saudi listed firms.

Design/methodology/approach
The impact of ownership structure variables on firm performance is examined using fixed effects and dynamic panel generalised method of moments regression approaches for 70 listed firms over the period 2016–2021. Ownership structure variables are captured by examining government, institutional, insider, foreign and family ownership, and firm performance is gauged in terms of the accounting-based measures of return on assets and the return on equity and the market-based measures of Tobin’s Q and the market-to-book ratio.

Findings
The results show that government, institutional, insider and foreign ownership all positively affect both accounting and market-based performance measures, whereas family ownership exerts a negative impact across the models. The findings support resource dependence theory, agency theory and alignment effects arguments.

Practical implications
The findings have significant implications for Saudi regulators in their effort to improve domestic capital market efficiency and investor protection, while also highlighting the need for a corporate governance code to safeguard minority shareholders. The results demonstrate that government, institutional, insider and foreign ownership exert an important impact on firm operational and market performance.

Originality/value
This study expands the literature by examining how ownership structure variables affect performance in an interesting developing country corporate context.

Authors: Hong Li , Wang Jingyuan , Cai Jianxian , Teng Yuntian , Qiu Zhongchao 
Published: March 2023

Purpose
In response to the common low sensitivity of fiber Bragg grating (FBG) temperature sensors in measurement, an FBG temperature sensor sensitized in a substrate-type package structure is proposed.

Design/methodology/approach
The sensitivity of sensors is analyzed theoretically; aluminum alloys with large coefficient of thermal expansion are used; the ANSYS software is used for simulation analysis and optimization design of sensors; real sensors are developed based on simulation results; in this study, a test system was built to test the performance of the proposed sensor.

Findings
The results suggested that the sensitivity of encapsulated FBG temperature sensor is 27.3 pm/°C in the range of −20 °C to 40 °C, which is 2.7 times that of bare FBG sensor, while the linearity is up to more than 0.99.

Practical implications
The sensitivity of FBG temperature sensor is greatly improved by the design of the structure.

Originality/value
This study innovatively proposes substrate-type sensitized FBG temperature sensor. The temperature sensitivity of fiber grating can be improved by single metal structure, and the effect of structural strain can be reduced by a tab structure. The study results provide a reference for the development of like sensors and the further improvement in the sensitivity of FBG temperature sensors.
Transmission Effects of ESG Disclosure Regulations Through Bank Lending Networks
Authors: WANG LYNN LINGHUAN 
Published: March 2023

ABSTRACTThis paper studies whether and how environmental, social, and governance (ESG) disclosure regulations imposed on banks generate transmission effects along the lending channel. I use a setting of U.S. firms borrowing from non‐U.S. banks and exploit the staggered adoption of ESG disclosure regulations in banks’ home countries. I find that exposed borrowers of affected banks improve their environmental and social (E&S) performance following the disclosure mandate. Consistent with banks enhancing both their engagement and selection activities, affected banks impose more environmental action covenants in loan contracts, and they are more likely to terminate a borrower with bad E&S records following the regulation. Further evidence shows that the transmission effects are stronger when a disclosure regulation is well‐enforced (as indicated by a greater increase in banks’ disclosure) and among borrowers with greater switching costs. Collectively, the findings document the role of lending relationships in transmitting the real effect of ESG disclosure regulations from banks to borrowing firms.
Identification of the veterinary sedative medetomidine in combination with opioids and xylazine in Maryland
Authors: Sisco Edward , Appley Meghan 
Published: March 2023

AbstractPublic health, public safety, and forensic science personnel continue to face the emergence of new compounds into the drug market. While focus is often put on the detection of new analogs of known illicit drugs, monitoring the changes in cutting agents and other compounds can be equally as important. Over the last year, near real‐time monitoring of the drug supply in Maryland has been completed through a public health–public safety partnership whereby residue from suspected drug packaging or used paraphernalia is collected and analyzed. Through this project, we have recently detected the presence of the veterinary sedative medetomidine in a small number of samples. The presence of medetomidine has been identified in both public health and law enforcement samples and in the presence of fentanyl and xylazine—another veterinary sedative that has been widely observed over the last year. While the rate at which medetomidine has been detected remains low, it is concerning and worthy of continued monitoring.
Centring anti‐oppressive justice: Re‐envisioning dentistry's social contract
Authors: Fleming Eleanor , Smith Carlos S. , Quiñonez Carlos R. 
Published: March 2023

AbstractObjectivesWe re‐envision dentistry's social contract and elaborate on the idea that it is not neutral and free from such things as racism and white supremacy and can act as a tool of oppression.MethodsWe critique social contract theory through examination of classical and contemporary contract theorists. More specifically, our analysis draws from the work of Charles W. Mills, a philosopher of race and liberalism, as well as the theoretical and praxis framework of intersectionality.ResultsSocial contract theory supports hierarchies and inequities that may be used to sustain unfair and unjust differences in oral health between social groups. When dentistry's social contract becomes a tool of oppression, its practice does not promote health equity but reinforces damaging social norms.ConclusionDentistry must embrace an anti‐oppression framing of equity and elevate the principle of justice to one of liberation and not just fairness. In doing so, the profession can better understand itself, act more equitably and empower practitioners to advocate for justice in health and healthcare in its fullest sense. Anti‐oppressive justice supports health not as merely an obligation but as a human duty.
Decisional conflict in parents of children with congenital heart defect: Towards development of a model
Authors: So Iris C. 
Published: March 2023

AbstractAimThis study aimed to develop a model to help parents cope with decisional conflict.BackgroundParents of children with congenital heart defect experience decisional conflict when they are uncertain about treatment decisions for their child, which may lead to delay in seeking care or distress over the decision made.DesignCorrelational design with model building and data triangulation was used.MethodsData were collected through surveys and interviews with a consecutive sample of 221 parent respondents from June to December 2018. Structural equation modelling and qualitative data analysis were used.ResultsLower decisional conflict was seen in parents with higher income, more nurse support and physician risk communication. Time delay for surgery was correlated with the child's age, social service coverage, and social support. Decisional conflict mediated the influence of income, nurse support and physician risk communication on satisfaction with decision. Based on model fit parameters, the emerging model is a good and parsimonious model of decisional conflict. The overall theme, ‘Deciding for Surgery: What Matters Most’, described the processes parents went through in making treatment decisions.ConclusionNurses may help parents feel more certain, less conflicted, and more satisfied with their decision by addressing factors including knowledge gaps, personal values, available support, and resource access.
Effective metaheuristics for the latency location routing problem
Authors: Osorio‐Mora Alan , Rey Carlos , Toth Paolo , Vigo Daniele 
Published: March 2023

AbstractThe latency location routing problem (LLRP), a combination of the facility location problem and the cumulative capacitated vehicle routing problem, is a recently proposed variant of location routing problems. It corresponds to a customer‐centric problem, in which the aim is to minimize the sum of the arrival times at the customers. This paper proposes three novel metaheuristic algorithms to solve the LLRP. They use a simulated annealing framework, which after each temperature reduction is intensified through a variable neighborhood descent procedure. Each algorithm uses a different search strategy as intensification. Results on 76 benchmark instances indicate that the proposed metaheurstics outperform the state‐of‐the‐art algorithms, finding new best solutions for all the large‐sized instances (over 100 customers), or the currently known optimal ones for most of the small‐ and medium‐sized instances, in comparable computing times. Furthermore, in more than 80% of the instances the average value of the solutions found by the proposed algorithms is better than or equal to that of the current best known solution.

Authors: Bassah Nahyeni , Vaughn Lisa , Santos Salas Anna 
Published: March 2023

AbstractAimsTo map evidence on the nature and extent of use of nurse‐led palliative care models in low‐ and middle‐income countries serving adults with life‐limiting conditions.DesignA scoping review of the literature was undertaken.Data SourcesA systematic search was performed from database inception to March 2022 in: Medline, EMBASE, CINAHL, Wiley Cochrane Library, SCOPUS, Web of Science, SciELO and Global Health. Main search terms included: Nurse‐led AND Palliative care AND Low‐and middle‐income countries. Grey literature was searched from Proquest Dissertations and Theses Global, the World Health Organization and selected palliative care websites. We searched the reference list of included articles for additional studies.Review MethodsWe used the framework by Arksey and O'Malley and the PRISMA‐ScR guidelines. Titles and abstracts were screened by one reviewer and full text by two reviewers. Thematic analysis was used to synthesize data and results are presented descriptively using themes and categories.ResultsEighteen studies were included, with majority from Sub‐Saharan Africa (10/20). Three nurse‐led palliative care models emerged: nurse‐led empowering care, nurse‐led symptom control and nurse‐led multicomponent palliative care. They served particularly cancer and HIV patients and were delivered in person or by telehealth care. Reported outcomes were adherence to therapy, improved self‐care ability, improved quality of life and increased access to palliative.ConclusionsThe use of nurse‐led palliative care in low‐ and middle‐income countries is in its developing stages and seems feasible. Nursing roles in in low‐ and middle‐income countries need to be expanded by developing advanced practice nurses and nurse practitioner programmes, with palliative care content. More impact evaluation studies on the use of nurse‐led palliative care models in these countries are needed.ImpactThis review highlights nurse‐led care models that can enhance access and quality of life of patients with life‐limiting conditions in low‐ and middle‐income countries.

AbstractMost diseases in aquaculture are caused by opportunistic pathogens. One of them, Vibrio harveyi, is a widespread Gram‐negative bacterium that has become an important pathogen of aquatic species in marine environments. Here, we propose the use of the causal pie model as a framework to conceptualize the causation of vibriosis in juvenile barramundi (Lates calcarifer) and to establish an effective challenge model. In the model, a sufficient cause, or the causal pie, is a constellation of component causes that lead to an outcome (e.g. vibriosis). In the pilot study, a high cumulative mortality (63.3% ± 10.0%, mean ± SE) was observed when V. harveyi was administered by intraperitoneal injection using a high challenge dose [107 colony‐forming units (CFU) fish−1], but low or no mortality was observed in fish subject to cold stress or fish with intact skin when challenged by immersion. We, therefore, tested the use of a skin lesion (induced with a 4‐mm biopsy punch) combined with cold temperature stress to induce vibriosis following the causal pie model. After challenge, fish were immediately subject to cold stress (22°C) or placed at an optimal temperature of 30°C. All groups were challenged with 108 CFU mL−1 for 60 min. A considerably higher mortality level (72.7% ± 13.9%) was observed in fish challenged with both a skin lesion and cold stress compared with mortality in fish only having a skin lesion (14.6% ± 2.8%). V. harveyi was re‐isolated from all moribund fish and was detected by species‐specific real‐time PCR in gills, head kidney and liver, regardless of challenge treatment confirming vibriosis as the cause of disease. Parenchymal tissues had histopathological changes consistent with vibriosis. Whole‐genome sequence (WGS) is provided for the Vibrio harveyi isolate examined in this study. Overall, the causal pie model was a useful framework to conceptualize the design of the experimental challenge model, in which both cold stress and skin damage were identified as component causes of vibriosis with high mortality. This conceptual framework can be applied to other opportunistic pathogens in aquaculture or to the study of co‐infections in fish.

Published: March 2023

AbstractAimTo test the contributions of self‐efficacy, resilience, social support, and negative moods (i.e., anxiety, depression) to patient activation among persons with spinal cord injury (SCI).MethodsOne hundred and twenty‐two participants with SCI were recruited from the spinal surgery department at a large general hospital. During the period before discharge after surgery, standardized self‐assessment questionnaires were used to collect data on patient activation, self‐efficacy, resilience, social support, anxiety, depression, demographics (age, gender, education, marital status), and disease‐related information (etiologies, level of injury, American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale score). Hierarchical regression analysis, mediation analysis, and moderation analysis were performed in SPSS, Amos, and Jamovi to determine the influencing factors of patient activation.ResultsSelf‐efficacy, resilience, social support, anxiety, and depression uniquely explained 38.2% (p < .001) of the variance in patient activation after controlling for demographic and disease‐related covariates. The full model explained 53.7% (p < .001) of the variance in patient activation. In the mediation analysis, self‐efficacy, resilience, and social support had partial mediating effects (p < .05). In the moderation analysis, marital status moderated the relationship between self‐efficacy and patient activation (p < .05).ConclusionsActivation of persons with SCI is a positive psychosocial resource related to higher self‐efficacy, resilience, and social support. Marital status may affect activation in persons with SCI. The causal relationship between these psychosocial variables needs to be proved by further intervention studies.
Changes in left hippocampal volume in first‐time fathers: Associations with oxytocin, testosterone, and adaptation to parenthood
Authors: Saxbe Darby , Martínez‐Garcia Magdalena , Cardenas Sofia I. , Waizman Yael , Carmona Susanna 
Published: March 2023

AbstractThe parenting brain may undergo remodeling that supports the adjustment to new parenthood. Prior work on human mothers has found gray matter volume decreases from preconception to early postpartum in multiple structures, including the left hippocampus, which was the only structure to show gray matter volume recovery at 2 years postpartum. This is consistent with evidence from animal models that the hippocampus is unusually plastic across reproductive transitions. However, no studies have focused specifically on hippocampal volume changes in human fathers. Among 38 men who were scanned by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) before and after having their first child, individual differences in left hippocampal volume changes were associated with men's prenatal oxytocin, postpartum testosterone, and postpartum adaptation to parenthood. Across the whole sample, hippocampal volumes did not change significantly from prenatal to postpartum. However, men who showed larger increases in left hippocampal volume from prenatal to postpartum reported stronger parent–child bonding and affectionate attachment and lower parenting stress. Fathers with higher levels of prenatal oxytocin showed larger left hippocampal volume increases across the transition to parenthood. In turn, greater increases in left hippocampal volume predicted lower postpartum testosterone after adjusting for prenatal testosterone. These findings did not extend to the right hippocampus. In conclusion, remodeling of the left hippocampus across the transition to new fatherhood may reflect adaptation to parenthood in human males.
Role of continuous phase and particle properties on the sensory perception of root vegetable purées evaluated by an expert panel and naïve consumers

Published: March 2023

AbstractTextural properties play an essential role in the development of food products. The complexity of textural attributes has been traditionally overcome with extensive panelist training and the use of generic descriptive analysis. A better understanding on the use of rapid methods with naïve consumers to evaluate texture attributes in complex food products is still needed. The present study aimed to investigate the (i) role of different continuous phases and particle properties (i.e., size and hardness) on the mouthfeel perception of root vegetable purées and (ii) the effect of panel expertise (sensory experts vs. naïve consumers) using Rate‐All‐That‐Apply (RATA). The study included six purées made of two different continuous phase (based on Jerusalem artichoke which is rich in inulin and, parsnip which is rich in starch) and three types of beetroot particles (raw, cooked, and comminuted beetroot). Results showed that both panels were able to discriminate and profile in a similar manner. However, sensory experts showed higher ability to discriminate between samples regarding the particle's attributes whereas consumer's sample discrimination was influenced by attributes such as “ease of swallow” and “creaminess.” For the expert panel, the presence of hard particles was a clear factor driving the differences between samples. Our results highlighted the contribution of both continuous and dispersed phases to design the texture profile of particulate semisolid plant‐based foods.

Published: March 2023

AbstractThe levels of eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA) in salmon fillets have decreased because of the progressive replacement of fish oil (FO). This study contributes to enabling the sustainable growth of aquaculture by confirming the effects of partially or fully replacing FO with microalgal oil (AO) on growth, muscle fatty acid profiles, and muscle quality of farmed Atlantic salmon. Crucially, this is now done throughout the entire post‐smolt production cycle and up to a harvest weight of 3 kg. Three experiments were performed using fish ranging from 145 g to 3 kg and testing different diets, replacing FO up to 100%. Zootechnical performance was similar among treatments in all experiments. Changing the lipid source in the diet resulted in EPA and DHA digestibility of greater than 96%. Sensory characteristics of raw fish fillets were similar among treatments, supporting a similar sensorial experience with the replacement of FO with no impact on consumers. Overall, results confirm that the AO tested here enables the sustainable growth of Atlantic salmon aquaculture by helping to maintain a level of EPA and DHA in the fish fillets, without detriment to zootechnical performance and sensory characteristics, while simultaneously contributing to a reduced marine footprint for aquafeeds.
