Authors: Ahmed Irfan , Socci Claudio , Deriu Stefano , D'Andrea Silvia , Mathkur Naif M. 
Published: January 2023

PurposeThe recent COVID-19 is forcing governments to implement policies on a large scale to counter its spread. A central issue in the economic debate is the effective quantification of the impact that the policies may implicitly have on the economy. This study quantifies the effects of lockdown in the United States.Design/methodology/approach The study uses a dynamic computable general equilibrium (DCGE) model calibrated on a social accounting matrix (SAM). The lockdown policy is applied on the supply side, by using a reduction in the production according to the closing time of each industry. The reduction in the demand is also applied, throughout the contraction of the household consumption that is diversified by the commodities. In order to analyse the pure effect of the lockdown policy, the interventions by the policy makers are not considered in this study.FindingsThe results show an important contraction of productivity in the food industry, the real estate activities, the constructions and the general services.Originality/valueThe contraction produces a fall of the GDP for the whole period analysed, traced by the investments, which includes repercussions on the whole productive system, employment and income of the institutional sectors.
Multiple large shareholders and auditor choice: evidence from China
Authors: Feng Xiaoqing , Wen Wen , Ke Yun , He Ying 
Published: January 2023

Purpose
This study aims to examine whether a firm's demand for high-quality auditors is influenced by multiple large shareholders (MLS). As one type of ownership structure, MLS have gained popularity in China recently and have different types of large shareholders, including large institutional shareholder, large foreign shareholder and large state shareholder. The authors also examine whether different types of MLS have heterogeneous impacts on appointing high-quality auditors.

Design/methodology/approach
With a sample of 27,131 firm-year observations from Chinese public companies from 2003 to 2018, the authors use multivariate regressions to examine the effect of MLS on auditor choice. Heckman two-stage analysis, a firm fixed effects model, propensity score matching and difference-in-differences test are used as robustness checks.

Findings
This paper finds that the presence and power of MLS increase the likelihood of appointing high-quality auditors. With regard to the types of MLS, large institutional shareholders and foreign shareholders have significant positive effects on appointing high-quality auditors, while the presence of state-owned large shareholders has no effect on auditor choice. Further analyses reveal that the positive effect of MLS on high-quality auditor choice is more pronounced in firms with severe agency problems and information asymmetry. Taken together, these results suggest that MLS play a monitoring role by demanding high-quality auditors.

Originality/value
This paper contributes to the literature on the determinants of auditor choice. While prior studies primarily focus on the impact of concentrated ownership structure, corporate governance and the pressure from stakeholders on auditor choice, this paper complements the literature by providing evidence from the heterogeneous effects of different types MLS. This paper also extends the literature on the consequences of MLS from the perspective of auditor choice.
Exploring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health organisations in England
Authors: Alshawwa Yusra , Sethi Faisil 
Published: January 2023

Purpose
This paper aims to explore the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health organisations in England.

Design/methodology/approach
A qualitative mixed-methods approach was applied, including a review of the academic literature, a review of the non-academic literature and a brief semi-structured survey. Respondents of the semi-structured survey included seven healthcare leaders from four different NHS Mental Health Trusts in England. This review applied thematic analysis to the data findings.

Findings
Mental health organisations in England have been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The analysis of the identified resources found four overarching areas for learning: organisational structures, approaches to practice (working and delivering care), leadership and staff support. Organisational structures refer to structural, systemic and procedural changes that have taken place. Approaches to practice relate to shifts in organisational work and delivery of care. Leadership identifies styles used to manage change and disruption. Staff support refers to measures and interventions applied to meet changing staff needs and well-being.

Practical implications
Mental health organisations can reduce the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic through continuous improvements in future crisis planning, innovations in clinical practice and a sustained focus on staff well-being.

Originality/value
A multi-dimensional exploration into the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health organisations was conducted. The review also provides insights into the experience of healthcare leadership in managing change during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Access and impact barriers to academic publications: a global study of thesis and dissertation embargo policies
Authors: Rasuli Behrooz , Schöpfel Joachim , Boock Michael , Van Wyk Brenda 
Published: January 2023

PurposeMany Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) allow students or their advisors to restrict access to theses/dissertations (TDs) by applying embargoes. This study aims to identify why Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) allow embargoes.Design/methodology/approachOne hundred HEIs were randomly selected, representing seven geographic regions. The authors imported policies/guidelines for embargoing TDs into MAXQDA software and coded the qualitative data.FindingsAmong the 100 studied HEIs, 43 HEIs (43%) have policies/guidelines on the web for embargoing TDs, most of which are from North America. For the majority of HEIs, embargoes are a voluntary option for students/advisors. Content analysis of the 32 embargo policies showed that embargo reasons (18 key reasons) can be categorized into six broad themes (commercialization, publication, ethical issues, funding contracts/agreements, security and safety, and miscellaneous).Research limitations/implicationsIn this study, only those policies are reviewed that are available, discoverable and accessible on HEIs' websites.Practical implicationsHighlighting the detrimental effect of not managing stipulations towards embargoes clearly, the findings could be useful for national/institutional policymakers and administrators of research departments, academic libraries, institutional repositories and graduate offices.Originality/valueThis is the first study to investigate rationales for TDs embargo practices. It creates awareness of how embargoes are managed and reflected in policy. Ultimately, it recommends further interrogation on how embargoes influence the principle of openness to scholarship.Peer reviewThe peer review history for this article is available at: https://publons.com/publon/10.1108/OIR-09-2022-0497.
Recognizing and outmaneuvering the resistance to digital transformation
Authors: Denning Stephen 
Published: January 2023

Purpose
The author reports on the chief obstacle to successful digital adoption, the resistance to change the fundamental way a firm is managed—one requiring a transformation from industrial-era management to digital-age thinking and management.

Design/methodology/approach
The author explains that it has become increasingly apparent that the most successful firms at digital transformation are being run very differently from industrial-era management practices.

Findings
As every company becomes a digital company, they need a distributed computing fabric to build, manage, secure and deploy applications anywhere.

Practical implications
The use of “low code/no-code technology” is now “rapidly becoming a priority for every organization’s digital capability building”.

Originality/value
The crucial learning: At Novartis, digital technology did not initially infuse itself throughout the firm as management initially hoped. Some Novartis managers began to realize that technologists and data scientists alone couldn’t bring about the kind of wholesale innovation the business needed, so they began pairing data scientists with business employees who had insight into where improvements in efficiency and performance were needed.
Customer lifetime value: the effect of relational benefits, brand experiences, quality, satisfaction, trust and commitment in the fast-food restaurants
Authors: Dandis Ala' Omar , Al Haj Eid Mohammad , Griffin Denis , Robin Robin , Ni Arnt Kyawt 
Published: January 2023

PurposeThis study examines factors that affect customer lifetime value (CLV) in fast-food restaurants (FFRs) in Jordan. These factors are relational benefits, brand experiences, service quality (SQ), satisfaction, trust and commitment.Design/methodology/approachAn online survey was collected from a sample of 503 respondents. The authors used SPSS to test the constructs' relationships and analyse the data. SmartPLS was used to test the hypotheses.FindingsIn contrast to previous studies, not all dimensions of brand experiences and relational benefits had a significant and positive influence on relationship marketing outcomes (satisfaction, trust and commitment). On the other hand, results demonstrated that SQ had a significant and positive influence on relationship marketing outcomes. Furthermore, research reveals that satisfaction, trust and commitment significantly and positively influenced CLV.Practical implicationsThose FFRs that seek to enhance CLV should build solid and sustainable bonds with their customers. This paper concludes by stating its implications, its limitations and the opportunities available for future research.Originality/valueThis study, which is unique in the Middle East, includes essential strategies for managing customer relationship that can be universally applied to improve customer benefits and maximise the performance of businesses.
Biofluorescence and predator avoidance in the giraffe
Authors: Morandi Kin , Lindholm Anna K. , Lee Derek E. , Bond Monica L. 
Published: January 2023

AbstractBiofluorescence of mammalian pelage may serve to hide prey from predators sensitive to ultraviolet radiation, among other potential functions. To date biofluorescence has been documented in nocturnal‐crepuscular and fossorial mammals that are active under low‐light conditions. Giraffes are primarily diurnal, but biofluorescent pelage might offer camouflage from their nocturnal felid predators. Using a full‐spectrum camera we qualitatively analyzed UV reflectance and absorption in giraffe pelage from a museum specimen. We found no trace of UV biofluorescence in the giraffe pelage, suggesting that this trait may not be ecologically or biologically relevant in giraffes. The function of biofluorescence in mammals remains elusive, but our study contributes to the growing body of data about biofluorescence, or its lack thereof, in diurnal versus nocturnal‐crepuscular or fossorial mammal species.
Differences in ingestive behavior between grazing goats and sheep at the bite scale

Published: January 2023

AbstractThis study aimed to clarify the differences in ingestive behavior between goats and sheep at the bite scale. Animals were allowed to graze a feeding station of bahiagrass (Paspalum notatumFlügge) with two sward heights (short and tall) to two levels of bite depletion (20 and 40 bites). Ingestive behavior variables, which represent the rate and mass of bites and chews, intake rate, bite dimensions, and bite placement characteristics, were quantified. The interspecies difference in ingestive behavior became obvious at the short sward. Goats reduced the inter‐bite distance and maintained bite overlapping but took deeper bites than sheep at the short sward, resulting in slightly greater bite mass. These behavioral changes with efficient chewing may be helpful to maintain the intake rate at the short sward. Sheep maintained their inter‐bite distance regardless of the sward height and decreased overlapping bites at the short sward. These behavioral characteristics in sheep in response to sward height may partly compensate for the decrease in the bite mass at the short sward, although it may not always maintain the intake rate. Thus, the present study suggests that goats and sheep implement different bite scale ingestive behaviors, including bite placement, when they eat short swards.
Structural analysis and measured extension in fault complexes along the Lofoten‐Vesterålen margin, offshore Norway, in the context of crustal‐scale rifting towards breakup in NE Atlantic
Authors: Meza‐Cala Juan Camilo , Tsikalas Filippos , Abdelmalak Mansour M. , Faleide Jan Inge 
Published: January 2023

AbstractLate Cretaceous–Palaeocene continental extension within the Lofoten‐Vesterålen margin is investigated by integrating 2D‐3D seismic and potential field datasets, together with updated crustal transects. Most of that deformation is recorded by two low‐angle detachment structures named West Røst High Fault Complex (WRHFC) and North Utrøst Ridge Fault Complex (NURFC) located at the southern and central‐northern portions of the studied area, respectively. Multiple extensional episodes of various intensities were mapped as different fault stages, including one Albian‐Cenomanian phase, four early Late Cretaceous phases, three Late Cretaceous to latest Cretaceous–Palaeocene phases, and one Palaeocene phase. The WRHFC is narrower in extent and has accommodated a relatively greater amount of localized extension (ca. 18–19 km), whereas the NURFC occupies a wider area with widespread extension intensity (ca. 6–8 km). In comparison, the total across‐margin average extension within the southern, central, and northern portions of the Lofoten‐Vesterålen and NE Greenland conjugate margins are ca. 192, 221, and 266 km, respectively. Such results indicate an apparent extension discrepancy between derived extension from measured fault‐block geometries within the fault complexes and the whole conjugate margin system, with only ca. 11% and 13% of the extension seen on the studied seismic profiles on the WRHFC and NURFC, respectively. The corrected maximum extension for purely sub‐seismic resolution faulting on both the WRHFC and NURFC fault complexes is ca. 164 and 46 km, respectively. Finally, both WRHFC and NURFC structures provide key evidence for a ductile mode of deformation towards breakup that is expressed through shear zones‐rift topography interactions with overlaying listric/detachment faults. These features reflect the resulting multiphase tectonic evolution across the asymmetric Lofoten‐Vesterålen and NE Greenland conjugate margins, and the obliquity in the breakup axis location along them. The study outcomes are pertinent and applicable to understand the breakup evolution of the northern NE Atlantic and its vicinity.
Manufacturing output and extreme temperature: Evidence from Canada
Authors: Kabore Philippe , Rivers Nicholas 
Published: January 2023

AbstractThis paper analyzes the effects of extreme temperature on manufacturing output using a data set covering the universe of manufacturing establishments in Canada from 2004 to 2012. Extreme temperature can affect manufacturing activity directly through its impact on labour productivity and indirectly through a change in demand for products. Using a panel fixed effects method, our results suggest a non‐linear relationship between outdoor extreme temperature and manufacturing output. Each day where outdoor mean temperatures are below °C or above 24 °C reduces annual manufacturing output by 0.18% and 0.11%, respectively, relative to a day with mean temperature between 12 ° and 18 °C. In a typical year, extreme temperatures, as measured by the number of days below °C or above 24 °C, reduce annual manufacturing output by 2.2%, with extreme hot temperatures contributing the most to this impact. Given the predicted change in climate for the mid‐ and end of century, we predict annual manufacturing output losses due to extreme temperature to range between 2.8% and 3.7% in mid‐century and 3.7% and 7.2% in end of century.
Penalties for speeding and their effect on moving violations: Evidence from Quebec drivers
Authors: Chandler Vincent , Morin Lealand , Penney Jeffrey 
Published: January 2023

AbstractIn 2008, the province of Quebec drastically increased penalties for speeding well above the speed limit by doubling fines and instituting on‐the‐spot licence suspension. Using administrative driving and licensing records in Quebec from 2006 to 2010, we examine whether the new law discouraged unlawful driving behaviour by investigating the frequency with which motorists received traffic citations. We find that the new law was effective in deterring motorists from speeding. Moreover, the effect was most pronounced for males compared with females, for young compared with old, and especially so for drivers with high demerit point balances accumulated from past infractions compared with those with few or no tickets. In sum, the change in behaviour was most apparent for those drivers who were the intended targets for the legislation.
Discrimination Experienced by Immigrants, Racialized Individuals, and Indigenous Peoples in Small‐ and Mid‐Sized Communities in Southwestern Ontario

Published: January 2023

AbstractWe investigate discrimination experiences of (1) immigrants and racialized individuals, (2) Indigenous peoples, and (3) comparison White non‐immigrants in nine regions of Southwestern Ontario containing small‐ and mid‐sized communities. For each region, representative samples of the three groups were recruited to complete online surveys. In most regions, over 80 percent of Indigenous peoples reported experiencing discrimination in the past 3 years, and in more than half of the regions, over 60 percent of immigrants and racialized individuals did so. Indigenous peoples, immigrants and racialized individuals were most likely to experience discrimination in employment settings and in a variety of public settings, and were most likely to attribute this discrimination to racial and ethnocultural factors, and for Indigenous peoples also their Indigenous identity. Immigrants and racialized individuals who had experienced discrimination generally reported a lower sense of belonging and welcome in their communities. This association was weaker for Indigenous peoples. The findings provide new insight into discrimination experienced by Indigenous peoples, immigrants and racialized individuals in small and mid‐sized Canadian communities, and are critical to creating and implementing effective anti‐racism and anti‐discrimination strategies.

Published: January 2023

AbstractJoubert syndrome (JS) is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous genetic disorder. To date, 40 JS‐causing genes have been reported and CPLANE1 is one of the most frequently mutated, with biallelic pathogenic missense and truncating variants explaining up to 14% of JS cases. We present a case of JS diagnosed after the identification of a novel biallelic intragenic duplication of exons 20–46 of CPLANE1. The quadruplication was identified by short‐read sequencing and copy number variant analysis and confirmed in tandem by long PCR with the breakpoints defined by a nanopore‐based long‐read sequencing approach. Based on the genetic findings and the clinical presentation of the patient, a brain MRI was ordered, evidencing the molar tooth sign, which confirmed the diagnosis of JS in the patient. This is, to the best of our knowledge, the first report of an intragenic duplication in this gene as the potential molecular mechanism of JS.

Published: January 2023

AbstractAimPatients undergoing colorectal surgery or those with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are particularly at risk for opioid‐related complications and progression to long‐term opioid dependence. The aim of this work is to explore the real‐world possibility of perioperative opioid avoidance in colorectal surgery and IBD.MethodWe conducted a retrospective analysis of patients aggregated from two prospective studies on multimodal postoperative pain control conducted at a single tertiary referral centre. All patients underwent major colorectal surgery with bowel resection. Patients with chronic preoperative opioid use were excluded. Opioid use was measured in oral morphine equivalents (OME) each postoperative day (POD) and cumulatively for the first 72 h.ResultsOur cohort of 209 patients included 148 (71%) with IBD and 61 (29%) non‐IBD patients. IBD patients required significantly more opioids cumulatively over the first 72 postoperative hours compared with non‐IBD patients [median OME 77 mg (interquartile range 33–148 mg) vs. 4 mg (interquartile range 17–82 mg), respectively; p = 0.001]. Five percent of IBD patients achieved opioid‐free postoperative pain control during the entire 72 h postoperative period compared with 12% of non‐IBD patients. Only 7% of IBD patients avoided opioid use on POD 1 compared with 20% of non‐IBD patients (p = 0.02); however the number of IBD patients increased to 16% on POD 2 then 40% on POD 3, closely resembling the non‐IBD cohort at 49% (p = 0.22).ConclusionIn the era of modern enhanced recovery protocols and minimally invasive techniques, we show that early postoperative opioid avoidance is feasible in a limited number of IBD patients after colorectal surgery.
