Objective:
To estimate associations of HIV-status and antiretroviral (ART) regimen with gestational diabetes (GDM) and postpartum glucose metabolism.

Design:
Prospective cohort study

Methods:
We enrolled pregnant persons living with HIV(PHIV) and without HIV in Cape Town, South Africa who were ≥18 years of age at 24–28 weeks gestation and followed up to 26 months postpartum. Participants were tested for GDM in pregnancy and for diabetes postpartum using a 75 g 2-hour oral glucose tolerance test and diagnosed via WHO criteria. We estimated associations of HIV-status and ART regime (efavirenz (EFV) vs dolutegravir (DTG)) with GDM and postpartum impaired glucose metabolism using multivariable log binomial or linear regression models.

Results:
Among 397 participants (median age 30 (IQR 25,34; n = 198 without HIV, n = 199 PHIV), the prevalence of GDM was 6.0% (9.0 PHIV vs 3.0% without HIV). In multivariable analyses, PHIV were at higher risk of GDM (RR 3.9 95% CI 1.4, 10.7) after adjustment for pre-pregnancy BMI and other confounders. GDM risk did not differ by ART regimen (unadjusted prevalence 8.1% DTG vs 5.6% EFV, adjusted RR 1.1, 95% CI 0.2, 6.6). Few participants had diabetes, impaired glucose tolerance, or impaired fasting glucose postpartum (n = 13, 6%) with no differences by HIV or ART status.

Conclusions:
In a setting of universal GDM testing, PHIV had an increased risk of impaired glucose metabolism during pregnancy but not postpartum. Among PHIV, GDM risk was similar regardless of EFV or DTG use. Given concerns about DTG and weight gain, diabetes risk should continue to be monitored.

ABSTRACTBackgroundSkills laboratory training for procedural skills has gained a lot of significance in recent years. An instructional approach that is becoming increasingly prevalent in medical education is Peyton’s four-step approach which demonstrates benefit of peer learning under supervision of teachers.AimThe aim of this study was to determine the effect of application of Peyton’s four-step approach versus traditional learning on medical students’ performance.ObjectivesTo compare the effectiveness of training effect of application of Peyton’s four-step approach versus traditional learning on medical students’ performance to measure blood pressure, and in performing hand washing procedures. As well as to assess and compare student self-satisfaction level and confidence level.MethodologyThe present prospective intervention study was carried out among 50 Medical students of Phase I MBBS by 4 faculty members with approval from the Institutional Ethics Committee. [Group A (intervention Group) and B (Control Group)], 25 students in each group were selected by using randomization. For the control group; the blood pressure measurement procedure and washing techniques were explained using the two-stage approach “see one, do one” and for the study group; each subgroup was trained to perform blood pressure measurement procedure and washing techniques using “Peyton’s four-step approach. A common scoring checklist for outcome evaluation was prepared to evaluate the student’s skills following the training session to avoid discrepancies in scoring among the faculties.ResultsIt was found that in the control group 52% students were able to measure blood pressure and in study group 88% of students were able to do following skill sessions and in the control group 48% students were able to wash hands as per required protocol and in study group 96% of students were able to do following skill sessions. Regarding Students self-confidence and satisfaction levels, 24% were highly satisfied and confident in the control group as compared to 88% students among study group and a statistical difference was noted in confidence level in between two groups. Regarding the average and very good effectiveness of training, a statistical difference was found between control and study group.ConclusionsStudents who learnt through using Peyton’s four–step approach showed rapid learning, more confidence and exhibited higher competency in performing blood measurement procedure and hand washing techniques than those who learned through traditional method.
Social media marketing activities and luxury fashion brands in the post-pandemic world
Authors: Shah Adnan Muhammad , Ali Mudassar 
Published: August 2023

PurposeSocial media has broadened the scope of luxury brand marketing and has emerged as a salient tool for Internet marketing campaigns in the post-pandemic world. Under the theoretical lens of the SOR model, this study aims to explore the nexus between brand social media marketing (BSMM) activities and online consumer brand engagement (CBE) via mediating consumers' emotions in the modest luxury fashion branding post-pandemic context.Design/methodology/approachThis study conducted a post-pandemic survey in five major metropolitan cities in Pakistan with a total of 584 eligible young consumers who follow the fan pages of fashion brands. Structural equation modeling was used to test hypotheses.FindingsThe findings reveal that BSMM activities have a significant influence on three emotion states (pleasure, arousal and dominance); however, only pleasure and arousal significantly drive CBE (i.e. affective engagement and activation). Moreover, the results show that pleasure and arousal partially mediate the relationships between BSMM activities and affective and activation dimensions of CBE, while dominance fully mediates the relationship between BSMM activities and cognitive engagement. Interestingly, only affective engagement was shown to be the most potent component of CBE in fostering positive emotions toward luxury fashion brands.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the literature on social media marketing and consumer brand engagement by revealing valuable insights into post-pandemic luxury fashion branding that could assist academicians and marketing practitioners of non-Western markets.

Published: August 2023

PurposeThis study estimates the land footprint, nutrients and monetary value of persimmon loss in Brazil, and also consolidated the methodological approach for assessing resources related to food loss.Design/methodology/approachIt uses data on the harvested area, production, production loss and production value of persimmon in Brazil from 2014 to 2019. The persimmon loss in Brazil was converted into macro- and micronutrients, land use and monetary value.FindingsThe average annual production loss, loss production value and land footprint of persimmon are 35,100 tons, US$12m and 1,673 hectares, respectively. Persimmon loss represents the average loss per year of 6.6bn grams of carbohydrates, 1.6bn grams of food fibers, 7.2bn milligrams of vitamin C, 41.8bn micrograms of vitamin A, 4.5bn milligrams of calcium and 54.8bn milligrams of potassium. These nutrients have the potential to meet the nutritional daily needs of approximately 135,000, 176,000 people, 270,000, 164,000, 12,000 and 32m, respectively.Practical implicationsThrough (1) research and innovation; (2) infrastructure development; (3) training and education; (4) collaboration and networking; and (5) market diversification and value addition, people can increase persimmon shelf life, reduce postharvest losses and create a resilient environment for small persimmon farmers. This approach promotes sustainability in the agri-food system and empowers stakeholders.Originality/valueThis investigation helps to understand the value of food loss, considering the use of natural resources, as well as the loss of nutrients and monetary value.
Plumbing defects in residential buildings: analysis of anomalies and their causes
Authors: Gurmu Argaw , Mudiyanselage Pabasara Wijeratne 
Published: August 2023

Purpose
Most residential building owners often report problems associated with the plumbing systems. If identified at the early stages, plumbing-related defects can be easily repaired. However, if unnoticed for a long period of time, they could lead to major damages and incur a significant cost to repair. Despite the problems, studies investigating plumbing anomalies and their root causes in residential buildings are limited. This study aims to explore plumbing defects and their potential causes, diagnosis methods and repair techniques in residential buildings.

Design/methodology/approach
This research used data collected through an extensive survey of both academic and grey literature. Through the content analysis, plumbing defects and the associated causes have been identified and presented in tabular format.

Findings
The study investigated the anomalies and causes in the residential plumbing system under five key sub-systems: water supply system; sanitary plumbing system; roof drainage system; heating, ventilation, air conditioning and gas system; and swimming pool. Accordingly, some of the identified plumbing defects include leakages, corrosion, water penetration, slow drainage and cracks. Damaged pipes, faulty equipment and installations are some of the common causes of the anomalies. Visual inspection, hydrostatic pressure test, thermography, high-tech pipe cameras, infrared cameras, leak noise correlators and leak loggers are techniques used for diagnosing anomalies. Reactive, preventive, predictive and reliability-centred maintenance strategies are identified to control or prevent anomalies.

Originality/value
The findings of this research can be used as a useful tool or guideline for contractors, plumbers, facilities managers and building surveyors to identify and rectify plumbing system-related defects in residential buildings.

Authors: Olaniran Hezekiah Farayola , Akinbile Bolatito Folasade 
Published: August 2023

PurposeDespite the contributions of both the oil and gas and construction industries to the gross domestic product (GDP) of the country, both industries are still marred by incessant accidents. Therefore, the aim of this study is to compare the health and safety practises of the construction and oil and gas industries in Nigeria in order to suggest the best approach to health and safety practices.Design/methodology/approachA survey questionnaire was developed and administered to professionals working in the construction and oil and gas industries. Data were analysed using the relative importance index (RII). An independent sample t-test was also conducted to determine whether there was a significant difference in the construction and oil and gas industries.FindingsThe study revealed that the rate at which health and safety are practised in the oil and gas industry is comparatively high compared to how they are practised in the construction industry. Proper site layout and planning, provision of a safe working environment, proper health and safety risk assessment were more predominantly practised in the oil and gas industry, while proper site layout and planning, disallowing unauthorised entry into site and the provision of a safe working environment were predominantly practised in the construction industry.Originality/valueThis study is the first to compare the health and safety practises of the construction and oil and gas industries in Nigeria. This study was significant because it would provide insight into construction and oil and gas managers, as well as other decision-makers in both industries, on how to improve health and safety practices.
Flow characteristics and wind-sheltering performance of wind barriers with different diameters of holes on railway viaducts
Authors: Liu Zhiqi , Liu Tanghong , Gao Hongrui , Gu Houyu , Xia Yutao , Xu Bin 
Published: August 2023

Purpose
Constructing porous wind barriers is one of the most effective approaches to increase the running safety of trains on viaducts in crosswinds. This paper aims to further improve the wind-sheltering performance of the porous wind barriers.

Design/methodology/approach
Improved delayed detached eddy simulations based on the k-ω turbulence model were carried out, and the results were validated with wind tunnel tests. The effects of the hole diameter on the flow characteristics and wind-sheltering performance were studied by comparing the wind barriers with the porosity of 21.6% and the hole diameters of 60 mm–360 mm. The flow characteristics above the windward and leeward tracks were analyzed, and the wind-sheltering performance of the wind barriers was assessed using the wind speed reduction coefficients.

Findings
The hole diameters affected the jet behind the wind barriers and the recirculation region above the tracks. Below the top of the wind barriers, the time-averaged velocity first decreased and then increased with the increase in the hole diameter. The wind barrier with the hole diameter of 120 mm had the best wind-sheltering performance for the windward track, but such barrier might lead to overprotection on the leeward track. The wind-sheltering performance of the wind barriers with the hole diameters of 240 mm and 360 mm was significantly degraded, especially above the windward track.

Originality/value
The effects of the hole diameters on the wake and wind-sheltering performance of the wind barriers were studied, by which the theoretical basis is provided for a better design of the porous wind barrier.

Authors: de Oliveira Santini Fernando , Eberle Luciene , Ladeira Wagner Junior , Milan Gabriel Sperandio , Graciola Ana Paula , Sampaio Cláudio Hoffmann 
Published: August 2023

PurposeThis article presents a systematic framework with a meta-analytic approach to finding various antecedents, consequents and moderating effects of trust in financial services.Design/methodology/approachA meta-analysis of 165 articles was performed, which generated 272 observations in a cumulative sample of 86,968 respondents.FindingsThe results of this meta-analysis demonstrated seventeen antecedents of trust constructs and four consequents. Most of these relationships were meaningful and consistent. The authors also found some significant moderators related to culture (individualism, masculinity and long-term orientation) and context (innovation index and device type).Research limitations/implicationsThis meta-analysis reviewed the relationships found throughout the theoretical framework about the trust construct in financial service contexts, identifying new paths for future research. Some limitations, such as the non-use of qualitative studies and the selection of concepts, exist in the secondary data and should be noted.Practical implicationsThe present study can assist financial system managers in decision-making because the findings from the meta-analysis are more consistent than those from traditional primary surveys.Originality/valueThis research tested the impact of antecedents, consequents and moderators of trust in the financial services sector and presented significant results using a meta-analytic review. This meta-analysis contributes to the marketing literature by offering a set of empirical generalizations, including relationship coefficients and fail-safe calculated numbers (FSN).
The overlap between workplace bullying and organizational dissent in New Zealand
Authors: Tootell Beth , Croucher Stephen Michael , Cullinane Joanna , Kelly Stephanie , Ashwell Douglas 
Published: August 2023

Purpose
This study aims to examine the extent to which organizational dissent predicts perception of workplace bullying. As previous studies have reported inconsistent and sometimes contradictory results regarding the interaction between the reporting of bullying and demographic variables, these variables are examined in the New Zealand context. Organizational communication research provides considerable insight into the ways individuals make sense of and resist workplace bullying through juxtaposition with the concepts of dissent and intragroup conflict.

Design/methodology/approach
A nationally representative sample of managers in New Zealand (n = 239) was conducted. Surveys included demographic questions and the following measures: Organizational Dissent Scale and Negative Acts Questionnaire Revised Scale.

Findings
Key results and indications for further research are highlighted by the third model in this study. First, workers who reported they engaged in either articulated dissent or latent dissent were more likely to perceive workplace bullying. Second, workers who are more likely to express contrary opinions in the workplace are more likely to recognize, acknowledge and tolerate less positive interactions in the workplace such as bullying.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is the first to analyze dissent and bullying in the New Zealand context. Second, this research raises the question of whether there is a conflation of work-related bullying behaviors and bad leadership styles that may not be targeted (e.g. authoritative leadership and micromanaging). Finally, communication research provides a distinctive contribution by exploring the narrative form of worker responses to perceived bullying. In this manuscript, the authors examine potential predictors on the perception of workplace bullying in the context of New Zealand, particularly focus on the relationship between dissent and the perception of workplace bullying.
Mitigated liability of origin: a more salient category triggered by M&A as an establishment mode
Authors: Zuo Yan 
Published: August 2023

PurposeThis paper aims to explore how the establishment modes used by emerging economy multinational corporations (EE-MNCs) influence their subsequent experiences of liability of origin (LOO) in developed economies based on the causal-model theory of categorization.Design/methodology/approachTaking Chinese listed firms' direct investments in developed economies as the sample, this paper utilizes Heckman (1979)'s self-selection model to examine the effect of establishment modes. Besides, when checking the robustness, subsample analyses and 2SLS regressions are used to rule out the alternative explanation associated with LOO mitigation.FindingsEE-MNCs that enter a developed economy by greenfield investment experience heightened LOO while entries using M&A are associated with the mitigated liability. When EEMNCs enter a more institutionally distant developed country, the establishment modes will be more determinant of their subsequent experiences of this liability. Moreover, the effect of establishment modes can recede when EE-MNCs have established their presence in a developed country for a longer time.Originality/valueThis paper utilizes the causal-model theory of categorization to articulate the underlying mechanisms through which the country-of-origin cue is weakened by the cue transmitted by M&A. It further considers the context-saliency of the cue of M&A and clarifies boundary conditions for the effectiveness of this establishment mode to mitigate LOO.

Published: August 2023

Purpose
This study aims at measuring the results of the use of an improved and innovative teaching method, specifically designed for supporting the development of students’ entrepreneurship competence, through students’ self-assessment before and after the teaching.

Design/methodology/approach
The teaching methods design was based on the effectuation approach and considering the comprehensive entrepreneurship competence model as theoretical grounding. The teaching methods experimentation took place in three countries (Estonia, Italy and Poland), collecting pre–post self-assessment surveys from 404 students of entrepreneurship courses. The results of the experimental groups were compared, in each country, with those of control groups not exposed to the same teaching.

Findings
Students participating in classes using innovative teaching methods declared an increase in entrepreneurship competencies, with statistically significant differences, contrasting the results in the control group. The positive changes in self-assessment were observed for 13 of 14 subcompetencies investigated. The increase in the level of the self-assessment of entrepreneurship subcompetencies was significantly greater among bachelor’s degree students.

Originality/value
The strengths of the study include a diverse research sample and a uniform structure of teaching design applied in three different countries, while specific comparative studies on entrepreneurship education and its effect on learners are limited. Moreover, this study used a pre–post design and involved a control group, while most of the existing research on the effect of entrepreneurship teaching are based on different methods. Finally, while most studies measure the impact of entrepreneurship education by focusing on entrepreneurial intentions, this study focused on the development of students’ entrepreneurship competences.

Published: August 2023

PurposeThis study aims to examine the joint effect of internal quality integration and product innovation on financial performance by considering the mediating roles of incremental and radical product innovation.Design/methodology/approachA theoretical framework was developed using the organizational capability view. Based on empirical survey data collected from 209 Chinese manufacturing firms, this research uses structural equation modeling and the bootstrapping method to test hypotheses.FindingsThe results show that internal quality integration positively impacts incremental and radical product innovation and financial performance. Further, incremental product innovation can promote radical product innovation. Both incremental and radical product innovation partially mediate the relationship between internal quality integration and financial performance.Practical implicationsThe findings provide practical guidance for manufacturing companies to engage in quality integration and product innovation. Managers should encourage the internal functional departments to coordinate quality integration while promoting incremental and radical product innovation to occupy a larger market and achieve higher performance.Originality/valueThis research contributes to the literature in two ways. First, this study expands the theoretical research framework of the joint effects of quality integration and product innovation on financial performance. Second, through testing the mediating role of product innovation, this study provides empirical evidence for the intermediate role of internal quality integration for improving financial performance.
