A retrospective overview of the Journal of Public Budgeting, Accounting and Financial Management using bibliometric analysis
Authors: Güngör Göksu Gonca 
Published: March 2023

PurposeThe study aims to explore a retrospective overview of the Journal of Public Budgeting, Accounting and Financial Management, a prestigious international journal in the discipline. It also analyses the bibliometric information of its publications between 2011 and 2021 in terms of authors, countries, documents, themes, topics and sources.Design/methodology/approachThe performance analysis and science mapping were conducted using the data from Scopus between 2011 and 2021. The bibliometric information of 301 publications was visualised through the analysis types, such as co-authorship, co-citation and bibliographic coupling, through the VOSviewer software programme.FindingsThe main finding is that the journal has recently improved in several areas (e.g. its productivity and visibility, citations, index scores and international collaborations). Although financial aspects such as accounting and accountability, financial management and public budgeting maintained their importance during the analysing period, some other features were revealed as new research themes. However, there are some research gaps regarding sustainable development goals, climate change and other matters, and the solutions for them through public fiscal policies.Research limitations/implicationsThe analyses are primarily backwards oriented by their very nature. Although they were excellent at portraying the past, the findings provided limited information about subjects that would be hot topics in future. The study has some limitations. The information on publications was collected from the Scopus database. However, bibliometric analyses were conducted from 2011 to 2021 as its data on Scopus did not cover before 2011. Second, the data are dynamic over time and may contain various changes in the future. Therefore, the bibliometric analysis may be repeated by including new studies of JPBAFM in the following years.Social implicationsA performance analysing that the editorial team could benefit from in order to monitor the productivity of JPBAFM, one of the popular and favoured journals in the discipline, was conducted in this paper. The editorial team may also find ideas for the intellectual development of the journal as a result of mapping the performance of the publications.Originality/valueThe bibliographic analysis of the Journal of Public Budgeting, Accounting and Financial Management has yet to be conducted. The study presents comprehensive findings on the performance and bibliometric analysis of the journal to guide authors and readers.
Modelling of consumer challenges and marketing strategies during crisis
Authors: Ishrat Irna , Hasan Mohammad , Farooq Ayesha , Khan Fateh Mohd 
Published: March 2023

Purpose
Marketing is all about understanding your consumers and giving them what they want. However, this process becomes more complicated in times of economic crisis and national slowdown. Consumers can become scattered and unpredictable in their behaviour, making it hard to understand what they want or need. At times like these, it is more important than ever to rely on qualitative market research to understand the views of consumers and managers. Thus, this study aims to look at the significant consumer challenges that arise during times of crisis and the marketing strategies that managers prefer to counter the crisis.

Design/methodology/approach
The data collected for this study involves an extensive literature review followed by personal interviews with industry experts. This study presents two separate models, indicating hierarchical relationships among consumer challenges during crisis and marketing strategies using the total interpretive structural modelling approach. Further MICMAC analysis (popularly known as cross-impact matrix multiplication) was also performed to assess each variable's driving and dependence power.

Findings
“Price sensitiveness” and “adaptive buying” result as driving factors with the highest driving and lowest dependence power, which further gives rise to other consumer behaviour challenges. Likewise, the most critical strategies are “information systems” and the formation of “crisis management teams” during a crisis. At the same time, other strategies have resulted as linkage and dependent factors and none as the autonomous factor.

Originality/value
This paper provides a systematic understanding of how a manager can understand the challenges consumers face during a crisis and suggests a powerful summary of strategies companies can implement to sail through a crisis.
Efficient experience replay architecture for offline reinforcement learning
Authors: Zhang Longfei , Feng Yanghe , Wang Rongxiao , Xu Yue , Xu Naifu , Liu Zeyi , Du Hang 
Published: March 2023

Purpose
Offline reinforcement learning (RL) acquires effective policies by using prior collected large-scale data, while, in some scenarios, collecting data may be hard because it is time-consuming, expensive and dangerous, i.e. health care, autonomous driving, seeking a more efficient offline RL method. The purpose of the study is to introduce an algorithm, which attempts to sample the high-value transitions in the prioritized buffer, and uniformly sample from the normal experience buffer, improving sample efficiency of offline reinforcement learning, as well as alleviating the “extrapolation error” commonly arising in offline RL.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors propose a new structure of experience replay architecture, which consists of double experience replies, a prioritized experience replay and a normal experience replay, supplying samples for policy updates in different training phases. At the first training stage, the authors sample from prioritized experience replay according to the calculated priority of each transitions. At the second training stage, the authors sample from the normal experience replay uniformly. The combination of the two experience replies is initialized by the same offline data set.

Findings
The proposed method eliminates out-of-distribution problem in an offline RL regime, and promotes training by leveraging a new efficient experience replay. The authors evaluate their method on D4RL benchmark, and the results reveal that the algorithm can achieve superior performance over the state-of-the-art offline RL algorithm. The ablation study proves that the authors’ experience replay architecture plays an important role in terms of improving final performance, data-efficiency and training stability.

Research limitations/implications
Because of the extra addition of prioritized experience replay, the proposed method increases the computational burden and has the risk of changing data distribution due to the combined sample strategy. Therefore, researchers are encouraged to use the experience replay block effectively and efficiently further.

Practical implications
Offline RL is susceptible to the quality and coverage of pre-collected data, which may be not easy to be collected from specific environment, demanding practitioners to handcraft behavior policy to interact with environment for gathering data.

Originality/value
The proposed approach focuses on the experience replay architecture for offline RL, and empirically demonstrates the superiority of the algorithm on data efficiency and final performance over conservative Q-learning across diverse D4RL tasks. In particular, the authors compare different variants of their experience replay block, and the experiments show that the stages, when to sample from the priority buffer, play an important role in the algorithm. The algorithm is easy to implement and can be combined with any Q-value approximation-based offline RL methods by minor adjustment.
Pandemic recordkeeping – the New Zealand experience
Authors: Wendelken Seren 
Published: March 2023

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to review the recordkeeping response to the COVID-19 pandemic in New Zealand. It identifies how archival authorities supported potential changes in recordkeeping practice as a result of constraints brought about by the pandemic, in particular the shift to work-from-home as the dominant paradigm.

Design/methodology/approach
Analysis of guidance, standards and initiatives published online by New Zealand archival authorities in the early stages of the pandemic was undertaken and contextualised with international counterparts.

Findings
Findings indicate that guidance provided to support changes in recordkeeping practice brought about by the pandemic was high-level, outlining potential considerations and possible pitfalls but did not provide applied advice on how to approach the shift to a work-from-home reality.

Originality/value
Research into the effects of the pandemic on recordkeeping practice and output is in its infancy; this paper contributes a brief insight into the New Zealand experience.
A review: material characterization with metamaterial based sensors
Authors: Singh Kunal Kumar , Kumar Mahto Santosh , Sinha Rashmi 
Published: March 2023

Purpose
This paper aims to concentrate on research that has been conducted in the previous decade on metamaterial (MTM)-based sensors for material characterization, which includes solid dielectrics, micro fluids and biomolecules.

Design/methodology/approach
There has been a vast advancement in sensors based on MTM since the past few decades. MTM elements provide a sensitive response to materials while having a tiny footprint, making them an appealing alternative for realizing diverse sensing devices.

Findings
Related research papers on MTM sensors published in reputable journals were reviewed in this report, with a specific emphasis on the structure, size and nature of the materials characterized. Because electromagnetic wave interaction excites MTM structures, sensing applications around the electromagnetic spectrum are possible.

Originality/value
The paper contains valuable information on MTM sensor technology for material characterization, and this study also highlights the challenges and approaches that will guide future development.

Published: March 2023

AbstractAimThis study aimed to show the effectiveness of interleukin (IL)‐23 inhibitors in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) at weeks 12 and 24 in a real‐world setting.Materials and MethodsForty‐three patients with active PsA were enrolled in this study. These patients were treated with either guselkumab (n = 20) or risankizumab (n = 23). Treatment responses at the 12th and 24th weeks were evaluated with the parameters of the number of joints with active arthritis, Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) response rate, Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) score, Disease Activity Index for Psoriatic Arthritis (DAPSA) score, and C‐reactive protein (CRP) value. The study's primary endpoint was BASDAI ≤ 4 and DAPSA ≤ 14 at week 24, and the secondary endpoint was the absence of joints with clinically active arthritis signs at week 24.ResultsIL‐23 inhibition significantly improved all treatment response parameters at the 12th and 24th weeks (P < 0.001). While 90% of patients reached the primary endpoint with anti‐IL23 therapy, 74% achieved the secondary endpoint. Both biologic‐naïve and biologic‐experienced patients responded significantly to anti‐IL‐23 therapy. Also, no adverse events related to anti‐IL‐23 agents were observed.ConclusionsThe response parameters indicating the severity of PsA (the number of joints with active arthritis, BASDAI score, DAPSA score, and CRP value) and a parameter indicating the severity of skin involvement, that is, PASI score, significantly improved with anti‐IL‐23 therapy at weeks 12 and 24. Moreover, significant improvement was achieved at week 24 compared to week 12 in all response parameters.
Does credit default swap trading improve managerial learning from outsiders?
Authors: Kim Jeong‐Bon , Wiedman Christine , Zhu Chunmei 
Published: March 2023

AbstractWe investigate whether credit default swap (CDS) trading results in managers learning new information through stock prices that is relevant to their investment and forecasting decisions. We argue that the CDS market structure, the sophistication of CDS market participants, and the cleanness of CDS spreads as a signal of default risk together produce and convey information that is new to managers of firms referenced in CDS contracts. We consider two measures for managerial learning: (1) the sensitivity of managerial investments to share prices and (2) the sensitivity of changes in management forecast accuracy to stock returns. We find that both sensitivity measures increase significantly when firms are referenced in any traded CDS contracts, indicating that CDS trading improves managerial learning. We also find that the improvement in managerial learning is more pronounced for firms that are subject to higher uncertainty in industry‐specific and economy‐wide prospects, consistent with the view that CDS market participants have informational advantages with respect to the industry‐level and macroeconomic environments. We further find that the improvement in managerial learning is more evident for firms with higher credit risk. Our findings provide large‐sample evidence on a positive consequence of CDS trading in the context of managers' ability to learn from outside investors.
Measuring biological age using a functionally interpretable multi‐tissue RNA clock
Authors: Jung Sascha , Arcos Hodar Javier , del Sol Antonio 
Published: March 2023

AbstractThe quantification of the biological age of cells yields great promises for accelerating the discovery of novel rejuvenation strategies. Here, we present MultiTIMER, the first multi‐tissue aging clock that measures the biological, rather than chronological, age of cells from their transcriptional profiles by evaluating key cellular processes. We applied MultiTIMER to more than 70,000 transcriptional profiles and demonstrate that it accurately responds to cellular stressors and known interventions while informing about dysregulated cellular functions.
The gender citation gap: Why and how it matters
Authors: Wu Cary 
Published: March 2023

AbstractThe weight of evidence suggests that articles written by men and women receive citations at comparable rates. This suggests that research quality or gender‐based bias in research evaluation and citing behaviors may not be the reason why academic women accumulate fewer citations than men at the career level. In this article, I outline a career perspective that highlights women's disadvantages in career progression as the root causes for the gender citation gap. I also consider how the gender citation gap may perpetuate the unequal pay between genders in science. My analysis of two different datasets, one including paper and citation information for over 130,000 highly cited scholars during the 1996–2020 period and another including citation and salary information for nearly 2,000 Canadian scholars over the 2014–2019 period, shows several important findings. First, papers written by women on average receive more citations than those written by men. Second, the gender citation gap grows larger with time as men and women progress in their careers, but the opposite pattern holds when research productivity and collaborative networks are considered. Third, higher citations lead to higher pay, and gender differences in citations explain a significant share of the gender wage gap. Findings demonstrate the critical need for more attention toward gender differences in career progression when investigating the causes and solutions for gender disparities in science.
Seen and not heard: A comparative case study of women on boards and process loss beyond critical mass
Authors: Tilbury Louise , Sealy Ruth 
Published: March 2023

AbstractResearch Question/IssueBuilding on a classic model of socio‐cognitive board processes, we consider the behaviors of men and women directors in boardrooms. We question whether having a critical mass of women on boards, defined as three or more women, removes barriers to women's participation in the boardroom, asking “How does gender influence board processes in boards with three or more women?”Research Findings/InsightsUsing a comparative case study of three boards through board observation and qualitative interviews, we question the assumption that a critical mass of women delivers effective board processes. We reinterpret the need for women to collaborate supportively as process loss, defined as interaction difficulties preventing groups reaching full potential, revealing potential barriers for women non‐executive directors to contribute across the whole agenda, particularly during critical debates.Theoretical/Academic ImplicationsCritical mass theory ignores important interactions between gender and other job‐related characteristics to underestimate social complexity in the boardroom. Building on an existing typology of diversity, we suggest that gender in the boardroom can operate as status diversity (disparity), as well as information‐based diversity (variety) and value‐based diversity (separation).Practitioner/Policy ImplicationsChairs and board evaluators who observe board meetings should be vigilant for patterns of participation and collaboration that indicate that women directors are experiencing restricted access to discussion, in particular if women are interrupted. Board leadership decisions should be reviewed regularly to ensure they are supporting board effectiveness, maintaining focus on the task rather than navigating complex social dynamics.

Published: March 2023

AbstractIntroductionHaemophilia B (HB) is associated with pathogenic variants in F9. Hemizygous deletions encompassing the entire F9 and proximate genes may express extra‐haematological clinical phenotypes.AimTo analyse the genotype/phenotype correlations in two unrelated boys with severe early childhood obesity (SCO), global developmental delay (GDD) and similar bleeding phenotype associated with comparable Xq27 deletions spanning the entire F9 and proximate genes, and characterise the pathogenic events estimating the most likely mutational mechanism involved.MethodsEntire F9‐deletions were detected in three hemizygous unrelated probands with HB: two cases, C#1/C#2, presented SCO and GDD and a control patient (Co), who only had severe bleeding symptoms. Dense SNP‐array and case‐specific STS walking scan allowed characterisation of the deletion breakpoints. Extensive use of bioinformatics, statistics and clinical databases allowed the investigation of genotype‐phenotype associations.ResultsPatients C#1/C#2 and Co resulted in a complete F9 and additional gene deletions of variable extensions on Xq26.3‐Xq27.2 (C#1/C#2/Co: 4.3Mb/3.9Mb/160Kb). C#1/C#2 common deleted gene SOX3 is directly associated with SCO, GDD and pituitary hypothyroidism (PH) whilst C#2 extra‐deleted gene MAGEC2 indirectly relates to anal atresia (AA). Breakpoint analysis revealed the involvement of the mechanisms of Alu/Alu recombination for the first time in HB and non‐homologous or alternative end‐joining.ConclusionOur results represent the first report of unrelated patients with HB, SCO and GDD. This study and the literature update expand the spectrum of clinical findings and molecular insights observed in patients with HB caused by complete F9 and nearby SOX3 and MAGEC2 gene deletions, which may configure a contiguous gene syndrome.
‘A real fine balancing act’: A secondary qualitative analysis of power imbalance in comorbid cancer and dementia in an outpatient treatment setting
Authors: Farrington Naomi , Richardson Alison , Bridges Jackie 
Published: March 2023

AbstractAimsStudies of health services reveal a focus on provision of scheduled care at the expense of patient need, placing the health service in a position of power and the patient as passive recipient. This secondary qualitative analysis of a focused ethnography draws on the Foucauldian concept of power as pervasive and relational, to examine how an imbalance of power is manifested in situations where people with both cancer and dementia are being treated for cancer.DesignSecondary qualitative analysis of a focused ethnographic study.Data SourcesIn the original study, qualitative data were gathered from observation and interviews with people with cancer and dementia (n = 2), caregivers (n = 7) and staff (n = 20). The study was conducted in the outpatient departments of two teaching hospitals in England between January 2019 and July 2021. Data from all sources were analysed for this secondary analysis using constant comparison.ResultsThe principal theme was balance, encapsulating the competing priorities involved in delivering cancer treatment. There was tension between maintaining safety and ensuring an individual's right to treatment, and difficulty reconciling the needs of the system with the needs of individuals.ConclusionThe pervasive nature of power can be harnessed to enhance the agency of people with cancer and dementia by incorporating principles of shared decision making.Implications for the Profession and/or Patient CareWe recommend incorporating the principles of personalized care to achieve more equitable power relations, reduce health inequalities and ensure that cancer treatment offered to people with dementia is safe and appropriate.Reporting MethodEQUATOR (COREQ) guidelines have been used for reporting.Patient or Public ContributionPatients and the public were involved in designing the original research questions and the study protocol including documentation such as interview topic guides and participant information sheets.
