Authors: Fuchs Paulo Guilherme , Honorato Filho Manoel , da Silva Liziane Araújo , Dutra Ana Regina Aguiar , Guerra José Baltazar Salgueirinho Osório de Andrade 
Published: July 2023

Purpose
Universities and their actions affect the environment directly and significantly. Therefore, the carbon footprint (CF) needs to be implemented in these institutions for mitigating climate change and its potential risks. Based on this understanding, the university consortium quality and environment (QualEnv) stands out by its main objective – to increase the university's contribution to sustainable development (SD) through the deployment of systematic environmental practices and quality processes. Hence, the purpose of this paper is to present the CF of the Latin American universities of the QualEnv consortium.

Design/methodology/approach
The study was based on the actions for adopting CF and its implementation at the universities that take part in the QualEnv consortium. The measurement process and report presentation were done properly by the universities and published as institutional documents. Therefore, data were collected and analyzed through a document search, systematic literature review and participant observation.

Findings
The results show knowledge deepening and systematization on CF in higher education. In addition, it presents the effort of a group of universities that, through a research network, seek to adopt practices towards a carbon-neutral university, which requires an incremental and systematic change to break out of the traditional system.

Originality/value
This paper discusses the practical implications for universities and the need to implement initiatives for measuring and reducing their CF since it shows how the institutions belonging to QualEnv consortium have created their own strategies to mitigate climate change and contribute to SD.
Exploring the interconnected nature of the sustainable development goals: the 2030 SDGs Game as a pedagogical tool for interdisciplinary education
Authors: Andreoni Valeria , Richard Alice 
Published: July 2023

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to present the 2030 SDGs Game as a pedagogical tool for the promotion of interdisciplinary education. Based on the simulation of possible world outcomes for the year 2030, the game induces participants to reflect on the socioeconomic and environmental consequences of actions and facilitate the exploration of the interconnected nature of the Sustainable Development Goals.

Design/methodology/approach
Starting with a review of the main benefits and constraints of interdisciplinary learning approaches, this paper discusses how pedagogical attitudes have change over time and suggests the use of the 2030 SDGs Game as a powerful tool for sustainability education. Composed by a set of cards with different projects and goals, the game connects participants to the principles of the Agenda 2030 and is suitable for a wide range of educational settings. In the case study presented in this paper, the game was played by 20 students from five different faculties of the University of Liverpool (UK).

Findings
The participatory nature of the game, where players learn through the experience of play, is functional to support the co-creation of knowledge of the “active-learner-centred” approach, and facilitate the development of problem-solving attitudes, soft skills and team-working abilities.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this paper presents, for the first time, the 2030 SDGs Game as a pedagogical tool for interdisciplinary sustainability education. The game is relatively easy to play and is suitable to be used in a wide range of educational settings.
Mixed lubrication performances of misaligned stern bearing considering turbulence and elastic deformation
Authors: Yang Minghui , Lu Hong , Zhang Xinbao , Zhang Yong Quan , Li Zhang Jie , Zhang Wei 
Published: July 2023

Purpose
This study aims to investigate mixed lubrication performances of stern bearing in a misaligned state considering turbulence and bearing deformation impacts.

Design/methodology/approach
A mixed lubrication model of stern bearing is established. The generalized average Reynolds equation governing the turbulent flow of lubricant is analyzed by considering the interaction of bearing elastic deformation, asperity contact pressure and film pressure. The bearing behaviors including minimum film thickness, hydrodynamic pressure, asperity friction force and frictional coefficient are studied under different models. The correctness of this model is verified by comparing it with that of the published data.

Findings
Numerical results indicate that elastic deformation noticeably decreases the maximum film pressure, the asperity contact force and the friction coefficient in the mixed lubrication stage. The effect of elastic deformation and turbulence reduces the transition speed from mixed to liquid lubrication.

Originality/value
This model includes both turbulence and bearing deformation impacts on journal bearing performances. It is expected that the numerical results can provide useful information to establish a stern bearing exposed to mixed lubrication conditions.

Governance boards of trustees: quality of higher education and the outputs of scientific research
Authors: Awwad Bahaa , Anaewah Mohammad , Razia Bahaa , Salameh Muhammed 
Published: July 2023

PurposeThis study investigates whether there are relationships between the characteristics of the boards of trustees of universities in the Arab region, higher education quality assurance and the output of scientific research.Design/methodology/approachThe descriptive analytical approach was used in this study. The study was conducted on the universities of the Arab region that are included in the classification of the British Institution for the Arab Region: QS Arab Region University.FindingsThe findings show that there is an effect of the characteristics of the trustees combined in the universities of the Arab region on ensuring the quality of higher education, other than the output of scientific research. The findings also indicate when measuring the characteristics individually that the trustee system is not effective in the Arab region and it is only formal for nominal purposes.Research limitations/implicationsMost universities in the Arab region do not disclose the data of boards of trustees, their roles, committees, rules of procedure and the nature of their work. A large number of universities also do not operate under the trustee system because the regulations and instructions do not allow this in the country.Practical implicationsThis study seeks to improve practitioners knowledge, including boards of trustees, in ensuring the quality of higher education and the output of scientific research.Originality/valueThe research projected the governance model through the characteristics of the boards of directors of for-profit companies on the boards of trustees of universities in the Arab region. The study examines the nature of the characteristics of the boards of trustees that are compatible with its responsibilities, the most important of which is the supervision of the strategy to ensure the quality of higher education research.
Child First and the end of ‘bifurcation’ in youth justice?
Authors: Case Stephen , Smith Roger 
Published: July 2023

Purpose
This study aims to critically evaluate the trajectory of the “Child First” guiding principle for youth justice in England and Wales, which challenges adult-centric constructions of children (when they offend) as “threatening” and asserts a range of theoretical and principled assumptions about the nature of childhood and children’s evolving capacity.

Design/methodology/approach
Focussing on how Child First seeks to transcend the socio-historically bifurcated (polarised/dichotomised) thinking and models/strategies/frameworks of youth justice, this study examines the extent and nature of this binary thinking and its historical and contemporary influence on responses to children’s offending, latterly manifested as more hybridised (yet still discernibly bifurcated) approaches.

Findings
Analyses identified an historical and contemporary influence on bifurcated responses to offending by children in the United Kingdom/England and Wales, subsequently manifested as more hybridised (yet still discernibly bifurcated) approaches. Analyses also identified a contemporary, progressive challenge to bifurcated youth justice thinking, policy and practice through the “Child First” guiding principle.

Originality/value
By tracing the trajectory of Child First as an explicit, progressive challenge to previous youth justice thinking and formal “approaches”, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, they are the first to question whether, in taking this approach, Child First represents a clean break with the past, or is just the latest in a series of strategic realignments in youth justice seeking to resolve inherent tensions between competing constructions of children and their behaviour.
Workplace incivility during organizational socialization: how new managers, varying in moral identity, perceive (mis)fit
Authors: Nguyen Quan Hong , Vu Linh Phuong 
Published: July 2023

PurposeThis study aims to investigate the mediating role of perceived person-organization (P-O) fit in the relationship between workplace incivility and affective organizational commitment (AOC) and the moderating effect of moral identity. The context is set in the organizational socialization process of externally hired managers.Design/methodology/approachA theoretical model was developed based on social identity theory. With the help of Alumni offices of 4 Master of Business Administration (MBA) programs in Vietnam, 461 MBA graduates recently hired as managers were invited to participate in the study. A time-lagged survey was conducted and resulted in data from 386 participants. Hypotheses were tested using latent moderated structural equation method (LMS).FindingsPerceived P–O misfit partially mediated the negative effect of workplace incivility on managers' AOC. The moderating impact of moral identity was also found such that the positive association between workplace incivility and perceived P-O misfit was stronger when moral identity was higher.Research limitations/implicationsThis study's limitations are threefold. First, the relatively new appearance of MBA programs in Vietnam made it difficult for us to conduct longitudinal research. Second, this study focused on MBA graduates as externally hired managers, a population that, as mentioned earlier, comes from a polite and respectful environment. Third, the current study mainly used self-evaluation to measure factors which might not be fully objective and reflect externally hired managers' situation. Future research could strengthen this method by equipping it with the evaluations of other organization members.Practical implicationsA clash of identities generated by value incongruence when externally hired managers experience incivility should be recognized and mitigated during socialization. More attention should be paid to managers with moral identities.Originality/valueThe study extends the organizational socialization literature in two ways. The first way is by elucidating how a negative organizational factor – workplace incivility – leads to socialization failures. The second way is by exploring the impacts of relatively new self-identity facets, including MBA graduates as externally hired managers and moral identity.
The politics of distributing blame and credit: Evidence from a survey experiment with Norwegian local politicians
Authors: SCHÖNHAGE NANNA LAURITZ , BÆKGAARD MARTIN , GEYS BENNY 
Published: July 2023

AbstractHow do politicians attribute responsibility for good and poor policy outcomes across multiple stakeholders in a policy field where they themselves can affect service provision? Such ‘diffusion’ decisions are crucial to understand the political calculations underlying the allocation of blame and credit by office‐holders. We study this issue using a between‐subjects survey experiment fielded among local politicians in Norway (N = 1073). We find that local politicians attribute responsibility for outcomes in primary education predominantly to school personnel (regardless of whether performance is good or bad) and do not engage in local party‐political blame games. However, we show that local politicians are keen to attribute responsibility for poor outcomes to higher levels of government, especially when these are unaligned with the party of the respondent. These findings suggest that vertical partisan blame‐shifting prevails over horizontal partisan blame games in settings with a political consensus culture.
Assessing Brazilian reptiles' road‐kill risks using trait‐based models

Published: July 2023

AbstractReptiles are an understudied group in road ecology, despite evidence of their high vulnerability to road mortality. Recently, trait‐based models have been demonstrated to be valuable tools for explaining and predicting road mortality risks for birds and mammals. The present study aimed to apply such models to reptiles for the first time. We fitted eight random forest regression models, controlling for different survey design variables, to explain 782 empirical road‐kill rates for Brazilian reptiles and selected the best‐performing model to predict road mortality risks for 572 continental species. The results showed that species that are habitat generalists, omnivorous, viviparous, cathemeral, and have intermediate clutch or litter sizes are at a higher risk of being road‐killed. The relationships for other traits included in our models were uncertain, but our findings suggest that population density and species‐specific behavioural responses to roads and traffic may play an important role in road mortality risks. Geographical location and survey design variables (especially sampling speed and sampling time) were more important in explaining the variance of the empirical road‐kill rates than any of the tested ecological and functional traits. Besides adding evidence of the vulnerability of the Amazon region to vertebrate road‐kills, this study highlights some similarities between the relationships identified here and those found for birds and mammals (such as with body mass and habitat breadth). We also corroborate that trait‐based models are useful tools to aid in conservation efforts but indicate that they can be biased by the methodologies used to collect empirical data. Future road‐kill surveys should therefore use methods specifically designed for reptiles and estimate both observer efficiency and carcass removal rates.
Drug hypersensitivity and eosinophilia: The decisive role of p‐i stimulation
Authors: Pichler Werner J. , Thoo Lester , Yerly Daniel 
Published: July 2023

AbstractEosinophilia is a common finding in drug hypersensitivity reactions (DHR). Its cause is unclear, as neither antigen/allergen‐driven inflammation nor clonal expansion is involved. Most delayed‐DHRs are due to p‐i (pharmacologic interaction of drugs with immune receptors). These are off‐target activities of drugs with immune receptors that result in various types of T‐cell stimulation, some of which involve excessive IL‐5 production. Functional and phenotypic studies of T‐cell clones and their TCR‐transfected hybridoma cell lines revealed that some p‐i‐induced drug stimulations occur without CD4/ CD8 co‐receptor engagement. The CD4/CD8 co‐receptors link Lck (lymphocyte‐specific protein tyrosine kinase) and LAT (linker for activation of T cells) to the TCR. Alteration of Lck or LAT can result in a TCR signalosome with enhanced IL‐5 production. Thus, if a more affine TCR‐[drug/peptide/HLA] interaction allows bypassing the CD4 co‐receptor, a modified Lck/LAT activation may lead to a TCR signalosome with elevated IL‐5 production. This “IL‐5‐TCR‐signalosome” hypothesis could also explain eosinophilia in superantigen or allo‐stimulation (graft‐versus‐host disease), in which evasion of CD4/CD8 co‐receptors has also been described. It may open new therapeutic possibilities in certain eosinophilic diseases by directly targeting the IL‐5‐TCR signalosome.

Published: July 2023

AbstractIntroductionThe therapeutic strategy for superficial nonampullary duodenal epithelial tumors remains controversial. We developed a novel surgical technique for superficial nonampullary duodenal epithelial tumors. We report the initial two cases managed with this method.Materials and surgical techniqueWe endoscopically confirmed the tumor location and circumferentially incised the seromuscular layer of the duodenum along it. After circumferential seromyotomy, the submucosal layer was expanded by endoscopic insufflation, and the target lesion was sufficiently lifted. The submucosal layer, including the target lesion, was stapled and resected after confirming the absence of problems with endoscopic passage. The seromuscular layer was continuously sutured to bury and reinforce the stapler line. Single‐incision laparoscopic surgery was performed in one case. The resected specimens measured 52 × 32 mm and 50 × 26 mm with negative surgical margins. Both patients were discharged without complications and demonstrated no evidence of stenosis.DiscussionCompared with previously reported procedures, this method of partial duodenectomy with seromyotomy for superficial nonampullary duodenal epithelial tumors is promising, simple, and safe.

Published: July 2023

SummaryAnti‐PD‐1 antibody has shown certain effects in patients with newly diagnosed extranodal NK/T‐cell lymphoma (ENKTL). Here, we evaluated the clinical efficacy and safety of first‐line anti‐PD‐1 antibody for the treatment of patients with ENKTL and explored biomarkers for treatment response. The clinical data of 107 patients with newly diagnosed ENKTL were retrospectively analysed. Patients received either first‐line anti‐PD‐1 antibody induction treatment or anti‐PD‐1 antibody combined with asparaginase‐based chemotherapy (immunochemotherapy). We found that immunochemotherapy was an independent prognostic factor for longer PFS (p < 0.001). The overall response rate and complete remission rate of immunochemotherapy group was higher than immunotherapy induction group (86.11% vs. 62.86% and 72.22% vs. 52.29%, respectively, p = 0.013). We also observed pretreatment CD4/CD8 ratio >0.83 was significant associated with better response and longer PFS in ENKTL patients received first‐line anti‐PD1‐antibody. Plasma copy number of EBV decreased more significantly in patients with CD4/CD8 ratio >0.83 after treatment. PD‐L1 expression was associated with better response and PFS, while elevated plasma IL‐6, IL‐10 and IFN‐γ were associated with poor prognosis. Anti‐PD‐1 antibody treatment showed promising results in newly diagnosed ENKTL patients. The assessment of pretreatment CD4/CD8 ratio in ENKTL seems feasible for identifying responders to anti‐PD‐1 antibody treatment.
‘Doing family’ in adversity: Findings from a qualitative study exploring family practices in alternative care settings in Thailand
Authors: Rogers Justin , Karunan Victor , Ketnim Pryn , Saeli Aphisara 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThis paper presents findings from a qualitative study that explored children's and families' experiences of alternative care in Thailand. The study used arts‐based methods to engage 160 children living in a range of care settings. This included government and NGO‐run residential care settings (RCS), children's villages, Buddhist temples, migrant learning centres and foster care homes. Interviews were also conducted with 20 parents/guardians who had placed their children in care. Findings show that despite the alternative care system presenting significant challenges, the participants revealed how they strived to preserve their family connections, and how they are ‘doing family’ in adversity.

Published: July 2023

AbstractIntroductionHepatic artery occlusion (HAO) is a significant complication post‐liver transplantation. Doppler ultrasound (DUS) has been widely used as an initial screening test for detecting HAO; however, its performance is often not sufficient. Although other diagnostic tests such as computed tomography angiography (CTA), magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), and angiogram are more accurate, they are invasive and have several limitations. Contrast‐enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is an emerging tool for detecting HAO; however, the results from previous studies were limited due to a small number of patients. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate its performance by performing a meta‐analysis.MethodWe performed a systemic review and meta‐analysis of studies evaluating the performance of CEUS for the detection of HAO in an adult population. A literature search of EMBASE, Scopus, CINAHL, and Medline was conducted through March 2022. Pooled sensitivity, specificity, log diagnostic odd ratio (LDOR), and area under summary receiver operating curve (AUC) were calculated. Publication bias was assessed by Deeks’ funnel plot.ResultEight studies were included, with 434 CEUS performed. Using a combination of CTA, MRA, angiography, clinical follow‐up, and surgery as the gold standard, the sensitivity, specificity, and LDOR of CEUS for detection of HAO were .969 (.938, .996), .991 (.981, 1.001), and 5.732 (4.539, 6.926), respectively. AUC was .959. The heterogeneity between studies appeared universally low, and no significant publication bias was found (p = .44).ConclusionCEUS appeared to have an excellent performance for the detection of HAO and could be considered as an alternative when DUS is non‐diagnostic or when CTA, MRA, and angiogram are not feasible.
Halogen halos: Report of an early histopathologic finding in iododerma

Published: July 2023

AbstractIododerma is a rare cutaneous eruption that manifests after exposure to iodine‐containing compounds, with few cases reported in the literature. Previous reports of this halogenoderma have described acellular halos simulating cryptococcus on histopathological examination but there is a paucity of reports of biopsies taken early in the disease course. We present a case of a 78‐year‐old patient who developed a papular eruption after receiving iodinated contrast. A skin biopsy taken within 24 h of the eruption showed a neutrophilic infiltrate with cryptococcal‐like acellular haloed structures, indicating that the diagnostic finding may be found early in the disease course.
