The Impact of an Educational Intervention on Neonatal Care and Survival
Authors: Emmanuel Andy , Kain Victoria J. , Forster Elizabeth 
Published: January 2023

Objective:
Under-5 mortality has declined globally; however, proportion of under-5 deaths occurring within the first 28 days after birth has increased significantly. This study aims to determine the impact of an educational intervention on neonatal care and survival rates in Nigeria.

Methods:
This was a sequential exploratory mixed-methods design involving 21 health workers in the preintervention phase, while 15 health workers and 30 mother-baby dyads participated in the postintervention phase. Data were collected using semistructured interviews and nonparticipatory observation. Qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis, while quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics.

Results:
Healthy newborns were routinely separated from their mothers in the preintervention period. During this time, non-evidence-based practices, such as routine nasal and oral suctioning, were performed. Skin-to-skin contact and early initiation of breastfeeding were frequently interrupted. After the intervention, 80.6% were placed in skin-to-skin contact with their mothers, and 20 of these babies maintained contact with the mother until breastfeeding was established. There was decline in neonatal deaths post-intervention. Independent t-test analysis of the day of neonatal death demonstrates a significant difference in mean (P = .00, 95% confidence interval −5.629; −7.447 to −4.779).

Conclusion:
Newborn survival can be improved through regular training of maternity health workers in evidence-based newborn care.

Background.
Living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) is one of the most technically demanding and complicated procedures. However, unlike deceased donor liver transplantation, there is no suitable animal model for practicing LDLT. Herein, we propose a new liver segmentation method and a feasible pig LDLT model for practicing for LDLT in humans.

Methods.
Four Landrace pigs weighing 25, 25, 27, and 28 kg were used as donors and recipients to establish a partial liver transplantation model. Partial liver transplantation was performed using a right liver and a left liver, respectively, based on a new segmentation system compatible with that of humans.

Results.
We established a new segmentation system for porcine liver transplantation and a partial liver transplantation model. For right liver transplantation, 91 and 142 min were required to operate on the donor and recipient, respectively; for left liver transplantation, 57 and 104 min were required to operate on the donor and recipient, respectively. All pigs that underwent partial liver transplantation remained alive until the operation was completed.

Conclusions.
It is expected that this new pig model based on the new segmentation system will be suitable as an educational tool for LDLT training and will replace the existing animal models for partial liver transplantation.

Published: January 2023

ABSTRACTHigh-throughput western blot (WB) analysis of small and precious samples, such as various age-related subtype-specific human induced neurons (hiNs), confers the ability to obtain more consistent, comparable, and informative data from materials with extremely limited availability. In this study, p-toluenesulphonic acid (PTSA), an odorless tissue fixative, was used to inactivate HRP for developing a high-throughput WB method. PTSA-treated blots showed fast and efficient inactivation of HRP without detectable protein loss and epitope damage. With a brief PTSA-treatment before every next probing, 10 proteins of dopaminergic hiNs could be sequentially, sensitively, and specifically detected in a blot. These WB data proved the age-associated and neuron-specific features of hiNs and further revealed a sharp reduction of two Parkinson’s disease-associated proteins, UCHL1 and GAP43, in the normal aging dopaminergic neurons. Together, this study developed a unique and high-efficiency WB analysis and pinpointed its special value for capturing robust useful data from limited, precious samples.GRAPHICAL ABSTRACTHIGHLIGHTS✓P-toluenesulphonic acid (PTSA) quickly and fully deactivated HRP on immunoblots.✓PTSA was an odorless, non-volatile, low cost, and user-friendly HRP inactivator.✓PTSA allowed high-efficiency WB analysis to save small precious samples and time.✓10 proteins were detected in a single blot of age-relevant human induced neurons.✓UCHL1 and GAP43 sharp decline occurred in aging human induced dopaminergic neurons.

Authors: Torres Pedro , Augusto Mário , Rodrigues Tatiana 
Published: February 2023

Purpose
Focusing on municipalities, this study aims to examine whether citizens’ engagement with local public administration activities on Facebook can have a positive effect on citizens’ trust.

Design/methodology/approach
Using data from 333 citizens and resorting to structural equation modelling, a conceptual model is tested.

Findings
The results show that communicating directly with citizens through social media can enhance the citizens’ involvement in social issues and their identification with their city council. The effect of citizen engagement on trust propensity is mediated by citizens’ identification with the city council and by citizens’ involvement in social issues.

Practical implications
The study provides a conceptual model that can be used by practitioners to improve practices that enhance citizen engagement and build trust in the local government. City councils should promote activities on social media that encourage identification and citizens’ involvement. Furthermore, the findings suggest that municipalities can increase trust by involving citizens in social issues.

Originality/value
This study contributes to a better understanding of the government social media phenomenon, highlighting and empirically testing the effect of citizen engagement on institutional trust. In doing so, a process to build citizens’ trust in their city council through social media is unpacked. The findings show that communicating directly with citizens through social media can enhance the citizens’ involvement in social issues and their identification with the city council. The important role of identification to build institutional trust is emphasized.
Intuitionistic fuzzy DEMATEL for developing causal relationship of water security
Authors: Abdullah Lazim , Mohd Pouzi Herrini , Awang Noor Azzah 
Published: January 2023

PurposeThis study aims to develop a cause-effect relationship between criteria that contribute to water security using the Intuitionistic Fuzzy-Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (IF-DEMATEL) method. Differently from the typical DEMATEL which utilizes crisp numbers, this modification introduces intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (IFNs) to enhance judgments in a group decision-making environment. In particular, the linguistic variables used in IF-DEMATEL are defined using the concept of three-tuple of IFNs.Design/methodology/approachData with the linguistic variable “influence” were collected from a group of experts in water security via personal unstructured interviews. Seven water security criteria are considered in this study. Computational software was employed to execute the computational procedures of the IF-DEMATEL method. It is anticipated that by taking into account the hesitation degree of IFNs will reflect the scenario in real life, which could lead to precise decision-making.FindingsThe results show that “Over-Abstraction”, “Saltwater Intrusion” and “Limited Infrastructures” are the cause criteria that contribute to water security. In addition, the relationship map of influence shows that “Water Pollution” and “Rapid Urbanization” are the most vulnerable criteria as these two criteria are most easily affected by other criteria in a unidirectional relation.Practical implicationsIt is anticipated that these findings will serve as useful references for water security management and policymakers.Originality/valueThe present study makes a noteworthy contribution to the modification of DEMATEL where three-tuple of intuitionistic fuzzy numbers are considered in the computations. The present study also provides additional evidence with respect to factors that contribute to water security.
Financial condition, working capital policy and profitability: evidence from Indian companies
Authors: Dash Sakti Ranjan , Sethi Maheswar , Swain Rabindra Kumar 
Published: January 2023

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of working capital management (WCM) on profitability under different financial conditions (constraint/unconstraint) and WCM policy (aggressive/conservative). Furthermore, the study investigates the existence of optimal working capital levels under different financial conditions and WCM policy.

Design/methodology/approach
Two-step system generalized method of moments and fixed effect models are used to analyze the data collected from Prowess database from 2011 to 2020 for a sample of 1,104 Indian manufacturing companies.

Findings
The study finds an inverted U-shaped relationship between working capital and profitability in all financial conditions and working capital policy. This finding advocates the existence of an optimal level of working capital that equates the costs and benefits of holding working capital to maximize the companies’ profitability. However, holding working capital beyond the optimal level negatively affects profitability. Companies under financial constraints with aggressive working capital policies have the lowest optimal cash conversion cycle (CCC). Furthermore, the relationship of working capital with profitability and the optimal CCC varies owing to firm age and industry group.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first paper that incorporates the impact of working capital on firm’s performance from both financial constraint (unconstraint) and aggressive (conservative) working capital policy perspectives in the Indian context. Furthermore, this study also contributes in terms of reflecting the effect of firm age and industry in determining the optimum CCC of the firms.
Measuring innovative literacy: conceptualization, scale development and validation
Authors: Yüksel Asiye , Gök Mehmet Şahin , Günsel Ayşe 
Published: February 2023

PurposeThere is a need to understand the role of innovative literacy in intellectual capital literature. This study aims to develop the innovative literacy scale, starting from the framework of innovative literacy, which is not prominent in the literature. Accordingly, this study develops and validates an innovative literacy scale.Design/methodology/approachA quantitative research methodology was used for this study, whereby a unipolar 5-point Likert scale self-report questionnaire was designed. Scale development analyses were performed in three steps: (1) The first item pool was created by literature review; (2) preliminary quantitative testing of the reliability and validity of the items, including confirmatory factor analyses (CFA), was performed; and (3) final scale validation through a discriminant and validity test was done using descriptive factor analyses (DFA) and structural equation modelling (SEM).FindingsFor the developed scale, the sample size was 220 in the first stage, 440 in the second stage, and 457 in the third stage. The validity and reliability analyses of the results were completed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) and Analysis of Moment Structures (AMOS) programs. After the preliminary stages, the validity and reliability tests of the scale were carried out, and 17 items (in 4 dimensions) of the innovative literacy scale were finally developed.Research limitations/implicationsThis research fills a conceptual gap in the literature. However, since this concept is evaluated using the human, customer and structural components of intellectual capital, future researchers may examine this concept together with other features of intellectual capital and with larger samples.Originality/valueThe article contributes to understanding innovation by developing a scale to evaluate InnoLiteracy, which may be an essential factor influencing innovative literate behaviours. The perceived multi-dimensional scale of InnoLiteracy will be beneficial for academicians and human resources professionals. Although there are studies in the related literature on the importance of the concept of innovative literacy, a scale from the perspectives of intellectual capital and sustainable innovation will be unique since there is no tool for its measurement yet. The findings of the InnoLiteracy research are meaningful, and the scale has the potential to meet the needs of researchers, schools, government agencies and businesses.

Coffee as an axis of recovery: cooperativism and mental health
Authors: Agudelo Hernández Andrés Felipe , Giraldo Alvarez Ana Belén 
Published: January 2023

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to understand the functioning of a mutual aid group for mental health in rural area and analyze their own strategies for the recovery of mental health, especially those focused on cooperation, social innovation and the strengthening of their own culture through coffee.

Design/methodology/approach
The qualitative approach was addressed through the thematic analysis, method to identify, analyze and report patterns within the data. For the selection of participants, the members of a mutual aid group called “Cooperativa de Mujeres' was selected. This group functions as an autonomous business organization in Risaralda, Colombia. They have accompanied people diagnosed with anxiety, depression and domestic violence. Six women were interviewed, between the ages of 18 and 62.

Findings
Two thematic nuclei are described: “One for all” made up of categories such as identification with the other, need for the other, being able to communicate, contributing to the group involuntarily and actions to help others. “All for one”, made up of categories such as growing together, welcoming individuals in their individuality from group dynamics, strengthening the relationship of the person with reality, strengthen from the experiences of others.

Research limitations/implications
Mutual Aid Groups in mental health propose associative structures that they seek to oppose the barriers of historical exclusion in the labor field and in this way contribute to the fact that the models, although they have a long history, have been little studied with a view to their implementation by health systems.

Practical implications
Current research in the field of health should focus on recognizing the flaws of the current mental health model focused on medicalization, psychologization and institutionalization, and point to a greater commitment to intersectoral support for initiatives and scenarios that promote links, networks, autonomy and care for each other and the environment, where sustainability and social and economic growth are fundamental.

Social implications
The transformative actions of cooperatives are configured with a fundamental element when it comes to generating spaces for the rehabilitation of mental health.

Originality/value
Components of a mutual aid group in rural areas are explored, which could serve to replicate said structures in similar scenarios, especially in territories where social inequities make recovery difficult, such as Colombia.
Am I in an obstructive employer-employee relationship? The role of breach in employee reactions during tough times
Authors: Tsachouridi Irene , Nikandrou Irene 
Published: February 2023

PurposeTo provide insight into how employees react during challenging economic times, this paper aims to examine employee responses to non-fulfilled employer obligations. More specifically, the authors examine two main issues: first, whether perceptions of organizational obstruction (PO Obstruction) mediate the relationship between psychological contract breach and intent to quit, as well as between psychological contract breach and willingness to support the organization, and second, whether breach moderates the relationship between PO Obstruction and intent to quit as well as between PO Obstruction and willingness to support the organization.Design/methodology/approachTo test the hypotheses, the authors conducted a field study in which 316 employees took part.FindingsThe results indicate that PO Obstruction mediates the relationship between breach and employee outcomes. Regarding the moderating effects of the breach, the findings suggest that breach strengthens the positive relationship between PO Obstruction and intent to quit while it weakens the negative relationship between PO Obstruction and willingness to support the organization.Originality/valueThis paper contributes to the existing literature by introducing a new perspective of the breach-outcome relationship.
Interrogating inclusive growth: Implications for conceptualisation, measurement and policy practice
Authors: Johnson Lachlan , Eccleston Richard 
Published: February 2023

AbstractThe idea that economic growth ought to be inclusive—that governments and economic policy makers should concern themselves with not just the “pace but also the pattern” of growth—has gained considerable traction in recent years. Actors ranging from local, state, regional and national governments to civic or non‐government actors to multinational corporations have embraced the rhetoric of inclusive growth, with many also developing their own suite of corresponding policy, strategy, or measurement approaches. Despite—or perhaps even because of—its popularity and proliferation, there is very little agreement around what inclusive growth actually is, how and at what spatial scale it should be pursued, and how outcomes ought to be measured. In this paper, we provide a conceptual synopsis of how and where inclusive growth emerged, what its aims are, and how it is understood and measured by its many different practitioners. We conclude with an assessment of whether this potentially valuable concept can be refined and incorporated into a unified and useful framework to inform policy and decision making.
Linking ammonium nitrate‐aluminum (AN‐AL) post‐blast residues to pre‐blast explosive materials using isotope ratio and trace elemental analysis for source attribution
Authors: Ippoliti Paul , Werlich Jeffrey , Fuglsby Cami , Yarnes Chris , Saunders Christopher P. , Dettman Josh 
Published: January 2023

AbstractForensic science practitioners are often called upon to attribute crimes using trace evidence, such as explosive remnants, with the ultimate goal of associating a crime with a suspect or suspects in order to prevent further attacks. The explosive charge is an attractive component for attribution in crimes involving explosives as there are limited pathways for acquisition. However, there is currently no capability to link an explosive charge to its source via post‐blast trace residues using isotope ratios or trace elements. Here, we sought to determine if pre‐blast attribution signatures are preserved after detonation and can be subsequently recovered and detected. A field study was conducted to recover samples of post‐blast explosives from controlled detonations of ammonium nitrate‐aluminum (AN‐Al), which were then analyzed via isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS) and inductively coupled plasma‐mass spectrometry (ICP‐MS) for quantitation and profiling of isotopes ratio and trace element signatures, respectively. Oxygen and nitrogen isotope ratios from AN‐Al yielded some of the most promising results with considerable overlap within one standard deviation of the reference between the spreads of pre‐ and post‐blast data. Trace element results from AN‐Al support the findings in the isotope ratio data, with 26 elements detected in both pre‐ and post‐blast samples, and several elements including B, Cd, Cr, Ni, Sn, V, and Zn showing considerable overlap. These preliminary results provide a proof‐of‐concept for the development of forensic examinations that can attribute signatures from post‐blast debris to signatures in pre‐blast explosive materials for use in future investigations.

Published: February 2023

AbstractBloodstream infections are serious and complex infectious diseases that often require a rapid diagnosis. Polymerase chain reaction coupled with quantum dot fluorescence analysis (PCR‐QDFA) is a novel diagnostic technique. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of PCR‐QDFA for pathogen detection in patients with suspected bloodstream infections (BSIs). It evaluates 29 kinds of common pathogens (24 bacteria and 5 yeasts) from blood culture bottles. The results of PCR‐QDFA identification and traditional microbial laboratory identification were compared, and the latter was used as the ‘gold standard’ to analyse the diagnostic performance of the PCR‐QDFA. In total, 517 blood culture bottles were included in this study. The PCR‐QDFA identified microorganisms in 368/422 (87.2%) samples with monomicrobial growth. For the pathogens on the PCR‐QDFA list, the assay showed a higher sensitivity of 97.4% (368/378). When polymicrobial growth was analysed, the PCR‐QDFA successfully detected 19/25 (76%) microorganisms on the PCR‐QDFA list. In addition, 82/82 negative blood culture bottles also showed no pathogens by PCR‐QDFA with a specificity of 100%. In conclusion, the PCR‐QDFA assay could identify a majority of the common pathogens encountered in clinical practice, showing excellent diagnostic performance for pathogen detection in patients with suspected BSIs.
