Evaluating the outcome effectiveness of the global reporting initiative transitions
Authors: Zharfpeykan Ramona , Akroyd Chris 
Published: July 2023

Purpose
This paper aims to evaluate the outcome effectiveness of the global reporting initiatives (GRI) transitions by understanding how companies have responded to the changes from G3.1 to G4 and finally to the GRI Standards.

Design/methodology/approach
A quality disclosure score is developed that incorporates assessments of both the quality of disclosures and the materiality of Australian companies. To analyse materiality, survey data were collected from 187 companies. Disclosure scores are based on a content analysis of the sustainability reports of 12 mining and metals companies and 12 financial services companies that used the GRI Standards from 2011 to 2019 (a total of 213 reports).

Findings
The study found that the GRI transitions have not led to companies improving the quality of their disclosures on areas considered important for them to achieve their social and environmental goals. Instead, the companies tended to use a greenwashing strategy, where the quality of disclosure of material issues declined or fluctuated over time.

Practical implications
From a practical perspective, the disclosure score developed in this paper enables managers of companies to recognize a threshold of completeness and to summarize the areas that are not materially relevant to their business.

Social implications
The results are potentially helpful for investors, shareholders and other stakeholders, enabling them to better understand sustainability reports.

Originality/value
This study contributes to the body of research in sustainability reporting by providing evidence on the outcome effectiveness of the latest updates in the GRI framework.
From manager to inclusive leader: traits and tactics for success
Authors: Malik Shehla 
Published: July 2023

Purpose
With ever increasing crises situations, the organizations need nonconventional leaders to solve new problems at workplace while successfully leading millennials and Gen Z employees. The author offers a solution to this by presenting a process to transform managers into inclusive leaders. This involves development of six key attributes in managers and utilizing tactics to internalize these attributes in managers’ behavior.

Design/methodology/approach
The paper describes six key behavioral traits and tactics to transform managers into inclusive leaders by reviewing existing literature in the field of inclusive leadership.

Findings
The paper finds that preparing inclusive leaders is a process that can be achieved through organization-wide programs and initiatives. Preparing such leaders involves development of six signature traits namely, curiosity, cognizance of bias, courage, cultural intelligence, collaboration and commitment. Once these traits are learned by managers, several tactics can be used for internalization of these traits managers’ behavior.

Practical implications
Leading through conventional leadership styles in this era of unprecedented work settings will not solve the new-age complex problems arising at work. This calls for building leaders who are able to lead with empathy and cultural intelligence.

Originality/value
Despite a plethora of literature on various leadership styles, many uphill challenges being faced by organizations could only be solved by building inclusive leaders. To answer this problem, this study demonstrates six key traits to be developed in managers followed by application of the right tactics to help managers internalize these traits and become successful at practicing the art of “Inclusive Leadership.”
Animosity and perceived risk in conflict-ridden tourist destinations
Authors: Fuchs Galia , Alvarez Maria D. , Campo Sara 
Published: July 2023

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to propose a model of relationships for conflict-ridden destinations that include variables concerning the dispute and their effect on key constructs that shape visitation decisions.Design/methodology/approachThe theoretical model is examined for two conflict-ridden Eastern Mediterranean destinations, Israel and Turkey, which suffer from ongoing armed conflicts, using two samples of potential tourists residing in the USA (n= 1,581) and India (n= 1,383).FindingsThe relationships are stable for both destinations and cultural contexts. Animosity is a strong factor in tourists’ decisions, whereas perceived risk has a relatively insignificant impact. Knowledge of the conflict is also found to influence decisions about visiting conflict-ridden destinations.Originality/valueThe study investigates the role of variables related to the conflict as antecedents of animosity and perceived risk, thus contributing to the understanding concerning decisions to visit conflict-ridden destinations. The model is generalized for varied destinations and cultures.
Segmenting the Malaysian female young adolescent market based on gender roles and identities
Authors: Tan Ser Zian , Chan Kara , Tan Poh Ling 
Published: July 2023

Purpose
This paper aims to understand the importance of young female consumers in Asia as a market and propose strategies for retail marketers to effectively engage with them while respecting their evolving gender roles and identities.

Design/methodology/approach
Data are derived from self-administered questionnaires completed by Malaysian female secondary school students aged 13 to 19. Using statements about gender roles and identities, the authors first segment respondents based on their perceptions of ideal female gender roles and identities and subsequently investigate each segment’s shopping orientation.

Findings
This study identifies four segments of young female consumers based on gender identity: civic intellectuals, presentable intellectuals, career-oriented and family-oriented. While young female young consumers with higher presentable intellectual traits are more likely to go window shopping (recreational shoppers), those with higher civic intellectual traits are more inclined to look for things they wish to buy and spend less time doing so (utilitarian shoppers).

Practical implications
Marketers and retailers should continue to use profiling of young female customers to predict the psychological changes related to societal and economic changes. Merely focusing on females’ appearance and family responsibilities may no longer be relevant due to the evolving social order. This implication is especially critical for marketers and retailers targeting the female market.

Originality/value
The results of this study will have important theoretical and managerial implications for marketers and retailers interested in understanding the changing needs and beliefs among young female consumers and how these impacts their shopping orientation.
Denationalization and the recentring of political authority in multilevel governance
Authors: TREIN PHILIPP , MAGGETTI MARTINO 
Published: July 2023

AbstractDifferent streams of political research have pointed to two macro‐phenomena that appear as opposite at first glance: On the one hand, the increasing delegation of competencies to jurisdictions beyond the central government, resulting in the denationalization of political authority. On the other, the passing of reforms that reassert the centre of the nation state through policy integration and administrative coordination. In this article, we argue that these two processes can be analysed under a unified framework in terms of multilevel dynamics, whereby delegation ultimately elicits recentring reforms at the national level. To examine this argument and break down the mechanisms at work, we develop two sets of hypotheses: first, we theorise how the delegation of competencies to international organisations, sub‐national entities and independent agencies can eventually trigger recentring reforms; second, we propose that the capacity to act attributed to these actors also shapes such reforms. Our empirical analysis relies on an original dataset across four policy fields and 13 countries. By using multilevel regression models, we show that especially the delegation of competencies to agencies at the national level as well as the double delegation to European agencies increases the probability that governments pass recentring reforms. Furthermore, if these agencies have a stronger capacity to act, recentring becomes more likely. Our findings contribute to the development of multilevel governance as a dynamic theory of policy making.
Understanding potential cattle contribution to leafy green outbreaks: A scoping review of the literature and public health reports

Published: July 2023

AbstractRecently, multiple reports from regulatory agencies have linked leafy green outbreaks to nearby or adjacent cattle operations. While they have made logical explanations for this phenomenon, the reports and data should be summarized to determine if the association was based on empirical data, epidemiological association, or speculation. Therefore, this scoping review aims to gather data on the mechanisms of transmission for pathogens from livestock to produce, identify if direct evidence linking the two entities exists, and identify any knowledge gaps in the scientific literature and public health reports. Eight databases were searched systematically and 27 eligible primary research products, which focus on produce safety concerning proximity to livestock, provided empirical or epidemiological association and described mechanisms of transmission, qualitatively or quantitatively were retained. Fifteen public health reports were also covered. Results from the scientific articles provided evidence that proximity to livestock might be a risk factor; however, most lack quantitative data on the relative contribution of different pathways for contamination. Public health reports mainly indicate livestock presence as a possible source and encourage further research. Although the collected information regarding the proximity of cattle is a concern, data gaps indicate that more studies should be conducted to determine the relative contribution of different mechanisms of contamination and generate quantitative data to inform food safety risk analyses, regarding leafy greens produced nearby livestock areas.
Identification of document paper using hybrid feature extraction

Published: July 2023

AbstractDocument forgery is a significant issue in Korea, with around ten thousand cases reported every year. Analyzing paper plays a crucial role in examining questionable documents such as marketable securities and contracts, which can aid in solving criminal cases of document forgery. Paper analysis can also provide essential insights in other types of criminal cases, serving as an important clue for solving cases such as the source of a blackmail letter. The papermaking process generates distinct forming fabric marks and formations, which are critical features for paper classification. These characteristics are observable under transmitted light and are created by the forming fabric pattern and the distribution of pulp fibers, respectively. In this study, we propose a novel approach for paper identification based on hybrid features. This method combines texture features extracted from images converted using the gray‐level co‐occurrence matrix (GLCM) approach and a convolutional neural network (CNN), with another set of features extracted by the CNN using the same images as input. We applied the proposed method to classification tasks for seven major paper brands available in the Korean market, achieving an accuracy of 97.66%. The results confirm the applicability of this method for visually inspecting paper products and demonstrate its potential for assisting in solving criminal cases involving document forgery.
Evaluating the sensitivity, stability, and cross‐reactivity of commercial fentanyl immunoassay test strips
Authors: Rodriguez‐Cruz Sandra E. 
Published: July 2023

AbstractIllicit fentanyl has flooded the United States' drug market, increasing the risk of overdose and poisonings throughout the general population and accidental exposure among law enforcement officers confiscating the increasing number of seizures. Fentanyl test strips (FTS) are used to obtain presumptive information about the presence of fentanyl in a suspected sample. However, their adoption by law enforcement personnel and seized‐drug analysts has been limited because most products are advertised for urine testing, not for assays using water solutions. This study presents an evaluation of four commercial FTS: Rapid Response from BTNX, Inc.; T‐Dip Fentanyl (FTY) Urine Dip Cards obtained from Amazon.com; Premier BioDip FYL10 from Premier Biotech Inc.; and MobileDetect Fentanyl strips from DetectaChem, Inc. Performance characteristics curves were used to compare the products' sensitivity, showing that all can reliably detect fentanyl in aqueous solutions at concentrations below 1 μg/mL, with some of the tests able to reliably detect the drug at 200 ng/mL. A stability study demonstrates the performance of all four FTS brands was only slightly affected after 30 days of storage at two extreme environmental conditions. Fentanyl‐related substances are also evaluated using the Rapid Response FTS, which showed high cross‐reactivity with para‐fluorofentanyl and acetylfentanyl, but lower with ortho‐chlorofentanyl, carfentanil, and 4‐ANPP. Users should be aware that FTS may give false‐negative results even when potentially dangerous levels of carfentanil are present. When testing other common drugs, adulterants, and diluents frequently encountered in seized tablets, concentration‐dependent results were obtained and multiple instances of false positives were recorded.

Published: July 2023

AbstractSunflower seeds are rich in protein and can be an excellent raw material for the production of umami peptides. In this study, sunflower seed meal, which was defatted at a low temperature, was taken as the raw material, and proteins were separated, followed by hydrolyzation for 4 h by flavourzyme® to obtain hydrolysates with strong umami intensity. These hydrolysates were deamidated using glutaminase to increase the umami intensity. The highest umami value of 11.48 was recorded for hydrolysates deamidated for 6 h, and the umami intensity was determined. The umami hydrolysates mixed with 8.92 mmol IMP + 8.02 mmol MSG showed the highest umami value of 25.21. Different concentrations of ethanol were used for further separation of hydrolysates, and the highest umami value of 13.54 was observed for 20% ethanol fraction. The results of this study provide utilization method for sunflower seed meal protein and a theoretical basis for the preparation of umami peptides.Practical ApplicationA large number of sunflower seed meals after oil production are used as feed for livestock and poultry. Sunflower seed meal is rich in protein, and umami amino acid composition in sunflower seed meal is up to 25%–30%, which is potentially an excellent raw material for the production of umami peptides. The umami flavor and synergistic effect of obtained hydrolysates, with MSG and IMP, were analyzed in the present study. We intend to provide a novel way for utilization of protein from sunflower seed meal along with a theoretical basis for the preparation of umami peptides.
Structuring meat analogs by citrus fiber with reduced salt intake

Published: July 2023

AbstractIn this study, we investigated the effect of addition of citrus fiber (CF; 5% and 10%, which consists mainly of soluble pectin and insoluble cellulose) on physical properties and microstructure of meat analogs based on soy protein isolate and wheat gluten using high‐moisture extrusion. Layered structure or microstructure of meat analogs was observed by scanning electron microscope and confocal laser scanning microscope. Compared to the control (without CF), meat analogs with CF addition showed disorder layered microstructure, which was interconnected with smaller fibers. Rheological measurements (strain sweep and frequency sweep) show that the incorporation of CF resulted in meat analogs with softer texture. The moisture content of meat analogs increased significantly upon the addition of CF, which was also correlated with juiciness. Sensory evaluation and dynamic salt release results confirm that the saltiness of meat analogs with CF addition was enhanced due to the structural changes of phase‐separated structures, achieving salt reduction by 20% and showing a saltiness similar to the control sample. This research provides a novel approach to modulate the saltiness perception of meat analogs by modifying the phase separation of protein/polysaccharides.Practical ApplicationCitrus fiber is added to the plant protein matrix to prepare meat analogs with high moisture content and enhanced saltiness perception via modifying the phase separation of protein/polysaccharides. This work provided a potential target for the meat industry to produce the meat analogs with less salt intake. Further research can be conducted using modified fibrous or inner structure of meat analogs to improve its quality.

Published: July 2023

AbstractObjectiveTo explore the performance and effect of dual‐energy computed tomography (CT) and ultrasound in the diagnosis of gouty arthritis and to provide a reference for the clinical diagnosis of gouty arthritis.MethodsA retrospective analysis of 76 patients with gouty arthritis admitted to the hospital from June 2020 to June 2022 was conducted. Patients were diagnosed with gouty arthritis using ultrasound and dual‐energy CT technology. The accuracy of diagnosis by different imaging techniques was analyzed along with the imaging findings of ultrasound and dual‐energy CT.ResultsSeventy‐six patients, 60 men and 16 women, ranging in age from 20 to 77 years (mean age 50.8 ± 10.92 years), presented with uric acid levels of 254.1–720.05 μmol/L (mean 482.17 ± 105.06 μmol/L) and C‐reactive protein levels ranging from 4.25 to 10.3 mg/L. The receiver operating characteristic curve showed that the area under the curve and specificity of serum uric acid were higher by dual‐energy CT than those of ultrasound in the diagnosis of gouty arthritis. The dual‐energy CT detection rate of tophi was significantly higher than the ultrasound detection rate (p < .05). For inflammatory effusion and synovial thickening, the ultrasound detection rates were significantly higher than the dual‐energy CT detection rates (p < .05). Regarding soft‐tissue edema, the detection rate of the two methods was not significantly different (p > .05).ConclusionCompared with ultrasound, dual‐energy CT has increased accuracy in the diagnosis of gouty arthritis.
Risks and benefits of pre‐delivery taper in pregnant women taking antidepressants
Authors: Robakis Thalia K. , Miyares Samantha , Bergink Veerle 
Published: July 2023

AbstractBackgroundSerotonin reuptake inhibitors are commonly used for treatment of mental health problems in pregnancy but may cause neonatal adaptation syndrome. It is unknown whether reduction or discontinuation of medication prior to delivery may mitigate this effect.MethodsWe present a case series of 38 women who either tapered their medication prior to delivery or maintained or increased their dose.ResultsGreater reductions in maternal antidepressant dose just prior to delivery were associated with fewer admissions to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) for infants. There was a slightly greater increase in depressive symptoms across delivery for women who tapered, which was not statistically significant.ConclusionsNICU admissions may be less frequent among neonates whose mothers tapered their medication prior to delivery. Large prospective randomized trials are needed to further study this practice.

AbstractBackgroundThe ‘weekend effect’ is the term given to the observed discrepancy regarding patient care and outcomes on weekends compared to weekdays. This study aimed to determine whether the weekend effect exists within Aotearoa New Zealand (AoNZ) for patients undergoing emergency laparotomy (EL), given recent advances in management of EL patients.MethodsA cohort study was conducted across five hospitals, comparing the outcomes of weekend and weekday acute EL. A propensity‐score matched analysis was used to remove potential confounding patient characteristics.ResultsOf the 487 patients included, 132 received EL over the weekend. There was no statistically significant difference between patients undergoing EL over the weekend compared to weekdays. Mortality rates were comparable between the weekday and weekend cohorts (P = 0.464).ConclusionsThese results suggest that modern perioperative care practice in New Zealand obviates the ‘weekend’ effect.
Understanding colorectal cancer risk for symptomatic patients in primary care: A cohort study utilising faecal immunochemical tests and blood results in England

Published: July 2023

SummaryBackgroundA faecal immunochemical tests (FIT) cut‐off of ≥10 μg Hb/g faeces is now recommended in the UK as a gateway to urgent (suspected cancer) investigation for colorectal cancer (CRC), based on an expected CRC risk threshold of 3%.AimsTo quantify the risk of CRC at FIT cut‐offs by age, haemoglobin and platelet strata.MethodsA cohort study of a symptomatic CRC pathway based on primary care FIT tests in Nottingham, UK (November 2017–2021) with 1‐year follow‐up. Heat maps showed the cumulative 1‐year CRC risk using Kaplan–Meier estimates.ResultsIn total, 514 (1.5%) CRCs were diagnosed following 33,694 index FIT requests. Individuals with a FIT ≥ 10 μg Hb/g faeces had a >3% risk of CRC, except patients under the age of 40 years (CRC risk 1.45% [95% CI: 0.03%–2.86%]). Non‐anaemic patients with a FIT < 100 μg Hb/g faeces had a CRC risk of <3%, except those between the age of 70 and 85 years (5.26% 95% CI: 2.72%–7.73%). Using a ≥3% CRC threshold in patients <55 years calculated using FIT, age and anaemia might allow 160–220 colonoscopies per 10,000 FITs to be re‐purposed, at a cost of missing 1–2 CRCs.ConclusionsFIT alone with a single cut‐off is unlikely to be a panacea for optimising CRC diagnosis, as risk varies by FIT, age and anaemia when faecal haemoglobin levels are below 100 μg Hb/g. Tailored FIT cut‐offs for investigation on a CRC pathway could reduce the number of investigations needed at a 3% CRC risk threshold.
