Neutropenia and antibiotics: when, what, how and why?
Authors: Dickter Jana , Logan Cathy , Taplitz Randy 
Published: July 2023

Purpose of review
Our aim is to review recent literature on antibiotic use in patients with neutropenia.

Recent findings
Prophylactic antibiotics are associated with risks and have limited mortality benefit. While early antibiotic use in febrile neutropenia (FN) is critical, early de-escalation or discontinuation may be safe in many patients.

Summary
With an increasing understanding of potential risks and benefits of use and improved risk assessment, paradigms of antibiotic use in neutropenic patients are changing.

Authors: Zachary Kimon C , Philpotts Lisa L , Shenoy Erica S 
Published: July 2023

Purpose of review
The risk of nosocomial transmission of mpox during the 2022 global outbreak is not well described. We evaluated reports of exposures to healthcare personnel (HCP) and patients in healthcare settings and risk of transmission.

Recent findings
Reported nosocomial transmission of mpox has been rare and associated primarily with sharps injuries and breaches in transmission-based precautions.

Summary
Currently recommended infection control practices, including the use of standard and transmission-based precautions in the care of patients with known or suspected mpox are highly effective. Diagnostic sampling should not involve the use of needles or other sharp instruments.
Sequence-based diagnostics and precision medicine in bacterial and viral infections: from bench to bedside
Authors: Pham Jonathan , Su LingHui David , Hanson Kimberly E , Hogan Catherine A 
Published: July 2023

Purpose of review
Nucleic acid sequence-based organism identification plays an important role in the diagnosis and management of transplant and cancer-associated infectious diseases. Here, we provide a high-level overview of advanced sequencing technologies, discuss test performance, and highlight unmet research needs with a focus on immunocompromised hosts.

Recent findings
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies are powerful tools with a growing role in managing immunocompromised patients with suspected infection. Targeted NGS (tNGS) can identify pathogens directly from patient specimens, especially for mixed samples, and has been used to detect resistance mutations in transplant-related viruses (e.g. CMV). Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) is increasingly used for outbreak investigations and infection control. Metagenomic NGS (mNGS) is useful for hypothesis-free testing and can simultaneously assess pathogens and host response to infection.

Summary
NGS testing increases diagnostic yield relative to standard culture and Sanger sequencing but may be limited by high cost, turnaround times, and detection of unexpected organisms or commensals of uncertain significance. Close collaboration with the clinical microbiology laboratory and infectious diseases is recommended when NGS testing is considered. Additional research is required to understand which immunocompromised patients are most likely to benefit from NGS testing, and when testing should ideally be performed.
Radiology-based diagnosis of fungal pulmonary infections in high-risk hematology patients: are we making progress?
Authors: Lewis Russell E , Stanzani Marta , Morana Giovanni , Sassi Claudia 
Published: July 2023

Purpose of review
In patients with hematological malignancies, high-resolution computed tomography (CT) is the recommended imaging approach for diagnosis, staging and monitoring of invasive fungal disease (IFD) but lacks specificity. We examined the status of current imaging modalities for IFD and possibilities for more effective applications of current technology for improving the specificity of IFD diagnosis.

Recent findings
Although CT imaging recommendations for IFD are largely unchanged in the last 20 years, improvements in CT scanner technology and image processing algorithms now allow for technically adequate examinations at much lower radiation doses. CT pulmonary angiography can improve both the sensitivity and specificity of CT imaging for angioinvasive molds in both neutropenic and nonneutropenic patients, through detection of the vessel occlusion sign (VOS). MRI-based approaches also show promise not only for early detection of small nodules and alveolar hemorrhage but can also be used to detect pulmonary vascular occlusion without radiation and iodinated contrast media. 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) is increasingly used to monitor long-term treatment response for IFD, but could become a more powerful diagnostic tool with the development of fungal-specific antibody imaging tracers.

Summary
High-risk hematology patients have a considerable medical need for more sensitive and specific imaging approaches for IFD. This need may be addressable, in part, by better exploiting recent progress in CT/MRI imaging technology and algorithms to improve the specificity of radiological diagnosis for IFD.
Modified Lacrimal Gland Suspension Technique in Patients Who Underwent Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty
Authors: Vatansever Mustafa 
Published: July 2023

Aim:
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of modified lacrimal gland suspension surgery combined with upper lid blepharoplasty.

Methods:
Between December 2020 and December 2021, 365 patients admitted to our clinic for ptosis were included in the study. The data of 89 patients who underwent upper lid blepharoplasty with lacrimal gland repositioning for dermatochalasis were analyzed.

Results:
Combined surgery was performed in 24.38% of the patients included in the study; 16 (17.9%) of these patients were males and 73 (82.1%) were females, and the mean age of the patients was 47.34 ± 8.13 years. The mean follow-up period was 16.42 ± 2.63 months. In patients who underwent lacrimal gland suspension, 72 (85%) of the patients complained of swelling on the outer part of the upper lid before surgery. However, 9 (10.11%) of the patients did not have lacrimal gland prolapse, and only fat prolapse was present in these patients. No complication or recurrence was observed in any patient during the follow-up period.

Discussion:
With the new modified technique, the lacrimal gland can be suspended close to the anatomical position, and satisfactory results can be obtained for both the patient and the surgeon.
A “life changing” year: intangible legacies of the Hull City of Culture volunteer programme
Authors: Whitfield Jessica 
Published: July 2023

PurposeThe Hull City of Culture 2017 volunteer programme is widely celebrated and remains a key legacy of the designation. A 2019 master's project found that volunteers experienced a multitude of intangible personal benefits from their time volunteering with the programme. Taking an interpretivist stance, this article aims to capture these sentiments; what volunteering has meant to the volunteers themselves and what legacy it has left them, both as individuals and as residents of the city.Design/methodology/approachTo investigate legacy over a longer period, the original qualitative research was supplemented with a similar number of interviews taken in 2021.FindingsThe 2019 focus groups were largely positive towards Hull City of Culture, and the effect it had on the volunteers and the city of Hull overall. Participants highlighted various intangible benefits and legacies, namely, personal well-being, perceptions of the city and a sense of community. The world in which the 2021 interviews took place is almost inconceivably different, yet the volunteers' feelings about their time with Hull City of Culture and its later iterations are remarkably similar to the earlier findings. Despite the changing circumstances, they too expressed positivity about the programme and its effect on them individually, and the city more widely.Originality/valueThe continued experience of intangible benefits from volunteering with the programme demonstrates an important legacy of Hull City of Culture 2017.

Authors: Chaloupkova Petra , Petrtyl Miloslav , Durand Claire , Nikolaou Charoula Konstantia , Mangione Guido , Kokoska Ladislav 
Published: July 2023

PurposeThis study examined the relationship between adult respondents' COVID-19 risk perception and its impact on changes in eating habits, physical activity, alcohol consumption, and smoking.Design/methodology/approachA cross-sectional online questionnaire was used to collect data during the first wave of the pandemic, in the European spring and summer of 2020. Kruskal–Wallis and Pearson chi-squared tests were used to determine the associations between the consumers' COVID-19 risk perception and the respondents' country of origin. The respondents were primarily university employees and students from four European countries (the Czech Republic, France, the United Kingdom, and Italy).FindingsThe study showed significant changes in lifestyle behaviours of the respondents during the COVID-19 pandemic compared with the pre-outbreak period. Approximately half of all respondents reported a decrease in alcohol consumption, smoking, and physical activity, while eating habits among European consumers showed trends towards both healthier and less healthy dietary patterns. The most significant changes were recorded in reducing alcohol consumption, smoking, and physical activity among almost half of the respondents. Positive COVID-19 test experience, age, and country of the respondents had a negative influence, whereas healthy food consumption and alcohol consumption had a positive influence on the COVID-19 related risk perception.Originality/valueThe fear of the COVID-19 outbreak together with the restrictions imposed by national governments in response to the pandemic fundamentally affected the respondents' lifestyles. Understanding these changes can help establish interventions to alleviate the adoption of negative lifestyles and attitudes in subsequent waves of the COVID-19 pandemic or other similar situations.

Authors: Saeidi Parvaneh , Saeidi Sayyedeh Parisa , Saeidi Sayedeh Parastoo , Galarraga Carvajal Mercedes , Villacrés Endara Hugo , Armijos Lorenzo 
Published: July 2023

Purpose
This study aims to test the effects of enterprise risk management (ERM) on firms’ outcomes and the moderating role of knowledge management (KM) on ERM–firms’ outcomes relationship.

Design/methodology/approach
Data were collected via a questionnaire survey among public listed companies on the principal stock exchange market in Malaysia. A total of 124 questionnaires were received by mail questionnaire. The results were examined through structural equation modelling and partial least squares.

Findings
The outcomes specified that ERM has a positive and noteworthy influence on firms’ outcomes, and KM has a moderating influence on the correlation among ERM and firms’ outcomes.

Research limitations/implications
The qualities, procedures and laws of the Malaysian corporations chosen as the sample firms, as well as their regulations, may not be representative of all other countries. Moreover, this study considered only one variable as a moderator, while there are many variables that different studies can consider as moderator or mediators.

Practical implications
The results of this research imply that employees’ awareness and knowledge of events, opportunities and risk, along with their engagement in the institute’s strategy, are critical for risk management and controlling. For the managers, the results of this research can be helpful to their businesses by identifying the effective KM capability that may enhance their positive outcomes. Managers and organizations can use KM as an instrument to increase ERM effect on firms’ outcomes.

Social implications
KM and ERM are both significant intangible resources that are hard to imitate and are uniquely specified programs, which are important contributors to firm success in the long run. Moreover, the contingency theory of ERM was proved through the results of this study as it was identified in the public companies, that implementation of ERM as a strategic management practice, by organizations along with an effective KM may enhance the achievement of objectives and outcomes.

Originality/value
This study helps to measure ERM comprehensively and how intangible assets such as KM can affect the comprehensive risk management process and its effectiveness.

Authors: Xie Naiming , Wang Yuquan 
Published: July 2023

PurposeThis paper aims to investigate the grey scheduling, which is the combination of grey system theory and scheduling problems with uncertain processing time. Based on the interval grey number and its related definitions, properties, and theorems, the single machine scheduling with uncertain processing time and its general forms are studied as the research object. Then several single machine scheduling models are reconstructed, and an actual production case is developed to illustrate the rationality of the research.Design/methodology/approachIn this paper, the authors first summarize the definitions and properties related to interval grey numbers, especially the transitivity of the partial order of interval grey numbers, and give an example to illustrate that the transitivity has a positive effect on the computational time complexity of multiple interval grey number comparisons. Second, the authors redefine the general form of the single machine scheduling problem with uncertain processing time according to the definitions and theorems of interval grey numbers. The authors then reconstruct three single machine scheduling models with uncertain processing time, give the corresponding heuristic algorithms based on the interval grey numbers and prove them. Finally, the authors develop a case study based on the engine test shop of K Company, the results show that the proposed single machine scheduling models and algorithms with uncertain processing time can provide effective guidance for actual production in an uncertain environment.FindingsThe main findings of this paper are as follows: (1) summarize the definitions and theorems related to interval grey numbers and prove the transitivity of the partial order of interval grey numbers; (2) define the general form of the single machine scheduling problem with interval grey processing time; (3) reconstruct three single machine scheduling models with uncertain processing time and give the corresponding heuristic algorithms; (4) develop a case study to illustrate the rationality of the research.Research limitations/implicationsIn the further research, the authors will continue to summarize more advanced general forms of grey scheduling, improve the theory of grey scheduling and prove it, and further explore the application of grey scheduling in the real world. In general, grey scheduling needs to be further combined with grey system theory to form a complete theoretical system.Originality/valueIt is a fundamental work to define the general form of single machine scheduling with uncertain processing time used the interval grey number. However, it can be seen as an important theoretical basis for the grey scheduling, and it is also beneficial to expand the application of grey system theory in real world.

Authors: Fletcher Tom 
Published: July 2023

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to develop a greater understanding of how a virtual learning environment (VLE) discussion forum can be used as a learning community to enhance reflective practice in work-based learning (WBL).Design/methodology/approachThis study adopted a qualitative interpretive approach through the use of VLE [Blackboard (BB)] discussion forums followed by a focus group. Thematic and content analysis was conducted to identify patterns and themes.FindingsThe findings suggest that whilst a VLE can help create a community of practice through discussion forums, individual reflective practice, as opposed to group reflection, was found to be the most common in the communication discourse, with reflection on experience as the main category.Practical implicationsOriginal views of students have been gathered and can be used to inform future practice.Originality/valueThe findings can be used to better understand and enhance reflective practice of students on WBL placements.

Published: July 2023

PurposeThe current study focuses on many risk categories that have emerged in the digital ecosystem of the financial technology industry, which has dramatically changed traditional financial systems as a result of innovations in financial technology.Design/methodology/approachThe Web of Science Core Collection database was used to find a data set of 719 pertinent papers on the subject encompassing the year 2015–2023. The sample procedure was carried out utilising the PRISMA approach. The keywords were first gathered relating to technological risks in banking sectors and after confirming the keywords, the authors performed the search by the “topic” which covers “title” in the search bar. On February 15, 2023, the Web of Science database was searched using the terms “Cyber security risk OR data theft OR financial crimes OR financial stability risk OR operational risk OR default risk OR money laundering OR financial terrorism AND FinTech AND banking sector”. Two-step approach is applied in this study. First, descriptive analysis is applied using RStudio to highlight prominent authors, countries and affiliations. Furthermore, relationship among authors, countries and keywords is shown by using three fields plot. Second, using VOSviewer, co-occurrence of keyword analysis is used to determine the most influential themes.FindingsThe findings show that 2,611 documents have been published from 2016 to 2023. Year 2021 is the most productive year in terms of number of publications. The results also show that WANG XC is tied for the position of most prolific contributing author. In a similar vein, the United States leads the world in publication output. Furthermore, Southwestern University of Finance and Economics in China is leading the list with 15 articles. The results from the co-occurrence of keywords reveal that “default risk”, “operational risk”, “money laundering”, “credit risk”, “corporate governance”, “systematic risk”, “financial stability risk”, “risk management” and “crises” are the frequently keywords.Originality/valueThe results of this study are beneficial to academia and industry in order to advance their current understanding of FinTech and associated concerns. This work expands the understanding of the technology hazards facing the banking industry from a broad perspective.
The institutional impact on the digital platform ecosystem and innovation
Authors: Ochinanwata Chinedu , Igwe Paul Agu , Radicic Dragana 
Published: July 2023

PurposeThe digital platform (DP) develops through a network capability that combines technological infrastructure and resources to provide goods or services. This article investigates how institutions influence the development of the DP entrepreneurship ecosystem (EE) in a developing economy context.Design/methodology/approachAn exploratory qualitative approach based on interviews with 33 DP business executives in Nigeria was the chosen research method. The interview method took the form of face-to-face, telephone and zoom video meetings, depending on the respective preferences of the participants. The research philosophy is based on interpretivism. Hence, the collected data were analyzed thematically and interpreted to make sense of the business executives' perspectives about the DP landscape as well as its institutional enablers and barriers.FindingsThe findings reveal institutional elements that are either too underdeveloped or weak to nurture an effective DP system resulting in high cost of doing business. A key cultural challenge is obtaining an honest workforce and managers. Also, there is lack of effective policies, weak regulation, multiple taxation and foreign competition, which affects local digital firms. Although cultural diversity has several merits, differences in cultural values and languages create marketing and promotion challenges. Moreover, the low level of digital literacy between Generation Z, Millennials and others, such as Baby Boomers and Generation X, poses a significant challenge concerning customer segmentation.Research limitations/implicationsResearch on digital technologies, the complexity of platform architectures and institutional logic has attracted interest in recent years. This article explored the institutional logic influencing the development of DP ecosystem (providing knowledge about EE in a developing world context). Despite the institutional challenges, there are multiple opportunities for Nigerian DP sector to flourish in the fast-growing economy.Originality/valueThe value of this article is related to how micro-, meso- and macro-institutional forces combine to support or become barriers to the development of the DP ecosystem, especially in developing economies where digitalization is creeping into every business sector and society.
