Co-creation in healthcare: framing the outcomes and their determinants
Authors: Fusco Floriana , Marsilio Marta , Guglielmetti Chiara 
Published: January 2023

PurposeUnderstanding the outcomes of co-creation (CC) in healthcare is increasingly gaining multidisciplinary scientific interest. Although more and more service management scholars have pointed out the benefits of cross-fertilization between the various research fields, the literature on this topic is still scattered and poorly integrated. This study aims to summarize and integrate multiple strands of extant knowledge CC by identifying the outcomes of health CC and the determinants of these outcomes and their relationships.Design/methodology/approachA structured literature review was conducted per PRISMA guidelines. A total of 4,189 records were retrieved from the six databases; 1,983 articles were screened, with 161 included in the qualitative thematic analysis.FindingsThis study advances a comprehensive framework for healthcare CC based on a thorough analysis of the outcomes and their determinants, that is, antecedents, management activities and institutional context. Extant research rarely evaluates outcomes from a multidimensional and systemic perspective. Less attention has been paid to the relationship among the CC process elements.Research limitations/implicationsThis study offers an agenda to guide future studies on healthcare CC. Highlighting some areas of integration among different disciplines further advances service literature.Practical implicationsThe framework offers an operational guide to better shape managerial endeavors to facilitate CC, provide direction and assess multiple outcomes.Originality/valueThis is the first extensive attempt to synthesize and integrate multidisciplinary knowledge on CC outcomes in healthcare settings by adopting a systematic perspective on the overall process.
Risk–return paradox? The moderating effects of risk-taking capabilities
Authors: Tsai Hsiu Fen , Fang Shih-Chieh 
Published: January 2023

PurposeThis study aims to examine the phenomenon of the risk–return paradox from the resources side of the firm. The authors emphasize the moderating role of risk-taking capabilities in investigating the relationship between risk-taking and performance.Design/methodology/approachBuilding on the disciplines of the resource-based view, the moderating effects of risk-taking capabilities on performance were tested by using Taiwan listed companies' data from information technology and electronics industries. Based on the data from 216 firms for periods from 2003 to 2007, this study runs a hierarchical moderated regression analysis to test the hypotheses in the context of diversification.FindingsThe results of this study emphasize that risk-taking and its relationship with performance are context-specific. Significantly, it is contingent on the firm's risk-taking capabilities endowment. The findings also indicate that some aspects of risk-taking capabilities moderate the relationship between risk-taking and performance.Originality/valueThis paper emphasizes that risk-taking capability is an essential factor in investigating the risk–return paradox. It constructs the dimensions of risk-taking capability in terms of absorptive capacity, network resources and organizational slack. Firms equipped with a high level of risk-taking capabilities benefit from risk-taking activities and should, therefore, embrace risk.
Tunisian corporate bond market liquidity: a qualitative approach
Authors: Berrich Olfa , Dabbou Halim 
Published: January 2023

PurposeThis study aims to explore the failures of Tunisian secondary corporate bond market liquidity to understand the determinants of corporate bond market liquidity at large.Design/methodology/approachWe adopted a qualitative approach to studying the Tunisian Stock Exchange. Dealers’ perceptions were collected through semi-structured face-to-face interviews; the data was recorded, transcribed and thematically analysed.FindingsSecondary corporate bond market failures are due, in part, to microstructural choices – especially the use of an over-the-counter market as a trading venue. The absence of a corporate bond yield curve, a narrow investor base, market participants’ lack of financial education and authorities’ attitudes are equally responsible.Research limitations/implicationsThis study is useful to researchers, policymakers and practitioners, as it identifies microstructural and other factors affecting the Tunisian secondary corporate bond market. We interviewed only Tunisian dealers while ignoring other categories of market participants. Furthermore, a focus group discussion could have improved our understanding of the determinants of the Tunisian secondary corporate bond market.Originality/valueThis paper aimed to qualitatively discuss several issues related to the Tunisian secondary corporate bond market. To date, little academic research has addressed this topic in the illiquid and non-transparent corporate bond markets.
A comparison of low-cost housing units for varying climatic regions in South Africa: a knowledge management approach
Authors: van Tonder Francine , Rwelamila P.D. 
Published: January 2023

PurposeOne of the greatest challenges faced by the 1994 post-apartheid government in South Africa is the housing problem that has persisted for almost 30 years into democracy. Innovation in research and practice is required to address this problem. This paper aims to discuss the aforementioned objective.Design/methodology/approachThis paper presents an argument for housing knowledge management as one part of a much larger system of housing provision and critically compares information variations on one hypothetical, low-cost housing unit adapted for varying climatic regions. It aims to enquire if there is an overlap in information.FindingsThe findings do confirm a noteworthy overlap in the information of the varying units. Therefore, knowledge management of the information would prove effective and may contribute in part to housing provision.Research limitations/implicationsThe study is limited to assessing the information changes made to the contract documentation of the housing unit.Social implicationsThe paper argues that knowledge management of this overlapping information could impact housing provision by providing knowledge power to those affected by the housing problem.Originality/valueThe findings are a unique perspective presented through a knowledge management lens. In addition, the said knowledge management lens provides a platform to raise additional questions. When seeking answers to these questions, it is expected that research sub-themes would be identified focussing further research studies towards finding answers.
Predation cues amplify the effects of parasites on the personality of a keystone grazer
Authors: Salerno Christina M. , Buck Julia C. , Kamel Stephanie J. 
Published: January 2023

Abstract

Parasites can alter species interactions either by modifying infected host behaviour or by influencing behavioural responses in uninfected individuals. Salt marsh ecosystems are characterized by a predator–prey interaction between the keystone grazer, Littoraria irrorata, and its main predator, Callinectes sapidus, both integral players in mediating the productivity of these habitats.

Littoraria also acts as the first intermediate host for at least four species of digenetic trematode. Parasite infection has been shown to decrease grazing and climbing in populations of Littoraria, although effects on infected host response to predators have not been investigated. Moreover, how infection might increase or decrease among‐individual variation in behaviour (i.e. animal personality) is still unknown. Here we ask how trematode infection affects the expression of boldness in the anti‐predator responses of L. irrorata in both the absence and presence of a predator cue.

We find that individual boldness varies substantially, and repeatability tends to increase as the number of stressors increases, with infected individuals exposed to a predator cue showing the strongest expression of behavioural types.

Parasitism amplifies this effect, although the parasite itself does not appear to directly induce behavioural changes: infected snails show no evidence of decreased climbing or differences in refuge use as compared to their uninfected counterparts. Infection might therefore drive the expression of condition‐dependent personality differences evident only under high‐risk conditions.

Group infection status strongly influenced behavioural reaction norms: uninfected individuals grouped with an infected snail were more responsive to predation risk, exhibiting increased climbing behaviour and spending less time in the water. Here parasites are influencing personality indirectly by inducing avoidance behaviours in healthy individuals, although only in high‐risk environments.

The potential for exposure to parasites and predators fluctuates greatly across marsh ecosystems. Given the ecological importance of this predator–prey relationship, trematode infection can act as an important, although indirect, determinant of overall salt marsh community structure, health and function.
The influence of human activity on predator–prey spatiotemporal overlap

Published: January 2023

AbstractDespite growing evidence of widespread impacts of humans on animal behaviour, our understanding of how humans reshape species interactions remains limited.Here, we present a framework that draws on key concepts from behavioural and community ecology to outline four primary pathways by which humans can alter predator–prey spatiotemporal overlap.We suggest that predator–prey dyads can exhibit similar or opposite responses to human activity with distinct outcomes for predator diet, predation rates, population demography and trophic cascades. We demonstrate how to assess these behavioural response pathways with hypothesis testing, using temporal activity data for 178 predator–prey dyads from published camera trap studies on terrestrial mammals.We found evidence for each of the proposed pathways, revealing multiple patterns of human influence on predator–prey activity and overlap. Our framework and case study highlight current challenges, gaps, and advances in linking human activity to animal behaviour change and predator–prey dynamics.By using a hypothesis‐driven approach to estimate the potential for altered species interactions, researchers can anticipate the ecological consequences of human activities on whole communities.
On the Ethicality of Islamic Banks’ Business Model
Authors: Jatmiko Wahyu , Iqbal Abdullah , Ebrahim M. Shahid 
Published: January 2023

AbstractThis paper scrutinizes the ethicality of Islamic banks’ (IBs’) business model by employing the ‘objectives of Islamic law’ (Maqāsid al‐Sharī’ah). This necessitates developing an ethical framework to construe two primary injunctions of Islamic finance, namely ribā and gharar. The former embodies financial decoupling (aggravating risk‐shifting) and unjust price gouging (provoking economic stagnation and financial exclusion), while the latter involves asymmetric information and excessive risk‐taking behaviour (exacerbating financial fragility and thus systemic risk). We empirically and theoretically illustrate that these unethical issues are still prevalent in the IBs’ modes of financing, despite the Sharī’ah‐compliant endorsement of religious scholars (i.e. Sharī’ah supervisory boards). This affirms that ethicality is merely an impression management exercise of IBs instead of their true business identity. The way forward is to conceptualize IBs’ modes of financing beyond just Sharī’ah compliance by scrutinizing their ethical impact on society at large. This would require updating centuries‐old Islamic rulings (Fatāwā) on financial transactions and consulting finance academics and practitioners.
Nondestructive testing methods for pesticide residue in food commodities: A review
Authors: Sindhu Sindhu , Manickavasagan Annamalai 
Published: January 2023

AbstractPesticides play an important role in increasing the overall yield and productivity of agricultural foods by controlling pests, insects, and numerous plant‐related diseases. However, the overuse of pesticides has resulted in pesticide contamination of food products and water bodies, as well as disruption of ecological and environmental systems. Global health authorities have set limits for pesticide residues in individual food products to ensure the availability of safe foods in the supply system and to assist farmers in developing the best agronomic practices for crop production. Therefore, the use of nondestructive testing (NDT) methods for pesticide residue detection is gaining interest in the food supply chain. The NDT techniques have several advantages, such as simultaneous measurement of chemical and physical characteristics of food without destroying the product. Although numerous studies have been conducted on NDT for pesticide residue in agro‐food products, there are still challenges in real‐time implementation. Further study on NDT methods is needed to establish their potential for supplementing existing methods, identifying mixed pesticides, and performing volumetric quantification (not surface accumulation alone).

Published: January 2023

AbstractCoexistence of the skin manifestations of systemic sclerosis and psoriasis is rare. The link between systemic sclerosis and psoriasis has been poorly investigated. We report a case of a 70‐year‐old woman, who was diagnosed with diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis and psoriasis vulgaris and was treated with oral azathioprine (50 mg/d) and prednisolone (10 mg/d), topical corticosteroids, and calcipotriols. The erythema and plaques almost disappeared after 1 week, and the symptoms of discoloration in cold, regurgitation, and dysphagia abated after 3 months.
Artificial Scarcity in Housebuilding and the Impact on Affordability: The Return of Absolute Rent
Authors: Bradley Quintin 
Published: January 2023

AbstractThe slow response of volume housebuilders to changes in demand has been cited as a contributing cause of a global crisis of housing affordability and allegations of land banking have persistently dogged the industry. This article reviews the supply responsiveness of speculative housebuilders in the United Kingdom and Australia through the neglected Marxian analytic category of absolute rent. Absolute rent directs attention to the relationship between the value of land and the cost of housing and models a market in which landowners may withdraw land from supply to inflate prices. Through the lens of absolute rent, the real estate practices of the housebuilding industry can be understood as a strategy of artificial scarcity straddling land and housing markets. The findings of this investigation demonstrate the insights to be gained by a return to absolute rent that valuably expand the current debate on the supply and cost of housing.

AbstractAimsThe summit grasslands of many European mountain ranges were historically used for summer grazing, which ceased in the 20th century. These grasslands are changing, partly through succession after abandonment and partly owing to environmental changes. Subalpine vegetation is also affected by artificially reduced avalanche frequency. Recent conservation efforts have attempted to reverse the negative trends of change. We ask: (1) How has subalpine vegetation changed following the abandonment and avalanche control? (2) Was conservation management able to reverse the post‐abandonment trend of vegetation change? (3) Did avalanche disturbance have a positive effect on plant species diversity?LocationSummit area of the Hrubý Jeseník Mountains (1,491 m a.s.l.), Eastern Sudetes, Czech Republic.MethodsVegetation plots sampled in the 1970s were resurveyed in the 2000s and again in 2021. Subalpine vegetation was classified into six types, and transitions between these types over time were quantified. Vascular plant species richness and the proportion of threatened species were compared between periods, between areas with and without conservation management, and between areas affected vs unaffected by a large avalanche from 2019. Species composition was analysed using principal coordinate analysis and distance‐based redundancy analysis.ResultsVegetation types remained relatively stable except for species‐rich grasslands, some of which changed to heathlands or tall‐forb vegetation. Some competitive species have increased, and species specialized to threatened habitats declined. Conservation management systematically implemented after 2010 slowed the decline of habitat‐specialized species but did not reverse it. Disturbance by an avalanche positively affected species richness but not the number of threatened species.ConclusionsSubalpine vegetation is slowly losing its plant diversity owing to grazing cessation and possibly acidification from past atmospheric deposition. Recently implemented conservation management and restoration of avalanche activity are essential to stop this trend, but future monitoring is needed to evaluate the success of management actions.
The ethics of COVID‐19 vaccine mandates for healthcare workers: Public health and clinical perspectives
Authors: Gur‐Arie Rachel , Hutler Brian , Bernstein Justin 
Published: January 2023

AbstractCOVID‐19 vaccine uptake among healthcare workers (HCWs) remains of significant public health concern due to the ongoing COVID‐19 pandemic. As a result, many healthcare institutions are considering or have implemented COVID‐19 vaccine mandates for HCWs. We assess defenses of COVID‐19 vaccine mandates for HCWs from both public health and professional ethics perspectives. We consider public health values, professional obligations of HCWs, and the institutional failures in healthcare throughout the COVID‐19 pandemic which have impacted the lived experiences of HCWs. We argue that, despite the compelling urgency of maximizing COVID‐19 vaccine uptake among HCWs, the ethical case for COVID‐19 vaccine mandates for HCWs in the United States is complex, and, under current circumstances, inconclusive. Nevertheless, we recognize that COVID‐19 vaccine mandates for HCWs have already been and will continue to be implemented across many healthcare institutions. Given such context, we provide suggestions for implementing COVID‐19 vaccine mandates for HCWs.

SummaryNational registries are used globally to characterise patient demographics, treatment choices and mortality to inform and improve clinical management. Waldenström macroglobulinaemia (WM) is a rare, treatment‐responsive B‐cell lymphoproliferative disorder with diverse clinical features and variable outcomes. To prospectively chart changes in the management of WM in the UK, the Rory Morrison Registry (RMR) was developed to systematically collect real‐world data. Here we describe the development of the RMR, demonstrate its feasibility and describe preliminary observations. The RMR was devised as a collaborative project between patients and clinicians, under the auspices of the UK Charity for WM in 2016. Patients may be registered after the point of diagnosis and those with historic diagnosis were also eligible. Data collection fields were compiled by focus groups of clinicians, patients, industry and commissioning partners. The RMR launched in November 2017 and as of March 2022, there were 22 participating centres and 1305 patients registered. Median follow‐up was 6.4 years, five‐year overall survival 90.7% (95% confidence interval [CI] 88.4%–92.5%) and 10‐year overall survival 79.3% (95% CI 75.7%–82.4%). There has been a clear evolution in treatments including a rapid growth in the use of Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitors in relapsed disease since their availability in the UK.

Published: January 2023

AbstractForest loss and fragmentation drive widespread declines in biodiversity. However, hummingbirds seem to exhibit relative resilience to disturbance, characterized by increasing abundance alongside declining species richness and evenness. Yet, how widespread this pattern may be, and the mechanisms by which it may occur, remain unclear. To fill in this knowledge gap, we investigated habitat‐ and site‐level patterns of diversity, and community composition of hummingbirds between continuous forest (transects n = 16 in ~3500 ha) and more disturbed surrounding fragments (n = 39, 2.5–48.0 ha) in the Chocó rain forest of northwestern Ecuador. Next, we assessed within‐patch and patch‐matrix characteristics associated with hummingbird diversity and composition. We found higher hummingbird species richness in forest fragments relative to the continuous forest, driven by increased captures of rare species in fragments. Community composition also differed between continuous forest and fragments, with depressed evenness in fragments. Increased canopy openness and density of medium‐sized trees correlated with hummingbird diversity in forest fragments, although this relationship became nonsignificant after applying false discovery rate (p < .01). Higher species richness in fragments and higher evenness in the continuous forest highlight the complex trade‐offs involved in the conservation of this ecologically important group of birds in changing Neotropical landscapes.Abstract in Spanish is available with online material.
