Teaching to (un)learn: enacting social justice in the identity development of multilingual/Latinx/BIPOC teacher candidates
Authors: Morales-Alexander Yasmin 
Published: May 2023

Purpose
This paper aims to describe how engaging in an inquiry-as-stance reflexive approach informed the design of a graduate-level early childhood social studies methods course to support the professional identity development of multilingual/Latinx, Black, Indigenous, people of color (ML/L/BIPOC) teacher candidates.

Design/methodology/approach
Nested within a theoretical construct that articulates “unlearning as a disruptive force” (Dunne, 2016), the author used a parallel process that modeled the teaching of social studies methods grounded in critical reflections of students’ cultural and linguistic assets. In so doing, the author shares how she models culturally and linguistically responsive-sustaining pedagogy in practice.

Findings
The findings illustrate that in this course, students begin unlearning internalized deficit narratives that they have been socialized to believe about themselves and, often, their students.

Research limitations/implications
This study is based on only four semesters of teaching one graduate-level methods course to ML/L/BIPOC early childhood educators at one institution, research results may lack generalizability. Therefore, researchers are encouraged to test the proposed propositions further.

Originality/value
Through unlearning, ML/L/BIPOC learn to recognize their assets, dispositions, skills and capacities more fully and, thus, are more able to enact culturally responsive-sustaining pedagogy once in their own classrooms. As such, this study has value for applying critical, identity-centered and asset-based pedagogies in teacher preparation programs.
Humble leadership and project success: underpinning service-oriented organizational citizenship behavior and task complexity
Authors: Naeem Mian Nisma , Malik Muhammad Imran , Hussain Saddam 
Published: May 2023

PurposeThe aim of the study is to investigate the relationship between humble leadership, project success, and service-oriented organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) and how task complexity may moderate this relationship. The study aims to determine if humble leaders are more likely to promote service-oriented OCB among team members and if this behavior in turn leads to greater project success, especially in complex task environments. These relationships are examined through the lens of the conservation of resources theory.Design/methodology/approachThe data were collected from the employees working in software companies using a closed-ended questionnaire, and a total of 214 complete questionnaires were analyzed. The research model was tested using structural equation modeling with the help of Smart PLS 3 software.FindingsHumble leadership is positively associated with service-oriented organizational citizenship behavior (OCB), which in turn is linked to project success. Task complexity does not appear to have a significant impact on this relationship.Practical implicationsHumble leadership is positively related to IT project success through its influence on service-oriented organizational citizenship behavior and task complexity. Implications include the importance of fostering a humble leadership style to enhance IT project success, as well as the potential benefits of promoting service-oriented behavior among employees. It also highlights the need to consider task complexity when evaluating project success.Originality/valueThe research explores the relationship between “humble leadership” and project success, and how it relates to “service-oriented organizational citizenship behavior” and “task complexity”. It presents an original perspective on the role of leadership in project success and the impact of organizational culture on project outcomes through the lens of the conservation of resources theory.
Family firms, client importance, and auditor reporting behavior: evidence from China
Authors: Rahman Md Jahidur , Zhu Hongtao , Jiang Xinyi 
Published: May 2023

Purpose
This study aims to investigate whether auditors compromise their independence for economically important clients in family business settings.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors empirically examine the research question based on China for the years 2011 to 2020. The dependent variable is the auditors’ propensity to issue modified audit opinions, which is a proxy for auditor independence. The authors use relative client audit fees as a proxy for client importance. To address endogeneity issues in the selection of family firms, the authors use the two-stage least squares regression model and, subsequently, the propensity score matching and Hausman firm fixed effect modeling.

Findings
This study reveals that the propensity to issue modified audit opinions is positively correlated with client importance. Big-N auditors are more likely to issue modified audit opinions for their economically important family firm clients, whereas such evidence is not found for non-Big-N auditors. Results are consistent and robust to endogeneity test and sensitivity analysis.

Originality/value
This study enriches the literature on auditor independence and the effect of family firms’ ownership structure factors on audit reporting behavior for their economically important clients. Findings may prove useful for managers and practitioners interested in family business.
Who knows it better? Reassessing human qualitative analysis with text mining
Authors: Marcolin Carla Bonato , Diniz Eduardo Henrique , Becker João Luiz , de Oliveira Henrique Pontes Gonçalves 
Published: May 2023

PurposeIn a context where human–machine interaction is growing, understanding the limits between automated and human-based methods may leverage qualitative research. This paper aims to compare human and machine analyses, highlighting the challenges and opportunities of both approaches.Design/methodology/approachThis study applied qualitative secondary analysis (QSA) with machine learning-based text mining on qualitative data from 25 interviews previously analyzed with traditional qualitative content analysis.FindingsBy analyzing both techniques' strengths and weaknesses, this study complements the results from the original research work. The previous human model failed to point to a particular aspect of the case, while the machine analysis did not recognize the sequence of time in the interviewee's discourse.Originality/valueThis study demonstrates that combining content analysis with text mining techniques improves the quality of the research output. Researchers may, therefore, better handle biases from humans and machines in traditional qualitative and quantitative research.
Five key areas to consider before using gamification in learning and development
Authors: Parkerson Rebecca 
Published: May 2023

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to inform readers about the use of gamification and active learning as effective learning methods, particularly in hybrid, diverse and global organisations.

Design/methodology/approach
This study takes an advisory approach based upon experienced delivery of blended learning and gamification in an human resources (HR), training and development environment.

Findings
The introduction of gamification and blended learning is like any other method of development. It is only as good as the planning. Gamification as a novel way of learning will not last the distance without setting objectives, planning how to reach them, evaluation and ongoing support for behavioural change.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this paper is the viewpoint of the author and has not been published elsewhere.
Nonword reading and other reading‐related skills in Down syndrome
Authors: Muscat Loredana , Grech Helen 
Published: May 2023

AbstractThe performance of children and young adults with Down syndrome (DS) on reading subskills and nonword reading was investigated. The performance of the participants with DS (N = 42) was compared to that of typically developing (N = 36) peers matched on fluid intelligence abilities. The study accounted for the different depths in orthography presented by the two languages. The independent samples t‐test, Mann–Whitney U‐test, ANCOVA and correlation analysis were used to analyse the data. This study identified that the participants with DS had several strengths, such as nonword reading, visual discrimination (VD) and phonological awareness. Verbal short‐term memory, visual perceptual processing skills other than VD and rhyming skills were identified as weaker in DS compared with the control group. Results call for educators to expose readers with DS to a phonological approach to reading while accommodating difficulties in VSTM.
United Kingdom: Political Developments and Data in 2022
Authors: MIDDLETON ALIA 
Published: May 2023

AbstractTurmoil characterised politics in the United Kingdom in 2022, with the year seeing three Prime Ministers, the death of Queen Elizabeth II and a deepening economic crisis. Partygate continued to loom large over the Johnson administration, and after a tumultuous few days with mass ministerial resignations in July, Johnson resigned. His successor, Liz Truss, became the shortest‐serving Prime Minister in British history, resigning after 49 days. Rishi Sunak became the third Prime Minister since the 2019 general election. The economy was a key area of concern in 2022, with rising inflation worsening a cost of living crisis and fuelling a series of public sector strikes.

AbstractBackgroundIntravenous (IV) albumin is suggested for patients with septic shock who have received large amounts of IV crystalloids; a conditional recommendation based on moderate certainty of evidence. Clinical variation in the administration of IV albumin in septic shock may exist according to patient characteristics and location.MethodsThis is a protocol and statistical analysis plan for a post‐hoc secondary study of the Conservative versus Liberal Approach to Fluid Therapy of Septic Shock in Intensive Care (CLASSIC) RCT of 1554 adult ICU patients with septic shock. We will assess if specific baseline characteristics or trial site are associated with the administration of IV albumin during ICU stay using Cox models with competing events. All models will be adjusted for the treatment allocation in CLASSIC (restrictive vs. standard IV fluid), and all analyses will consider competing events (death, ICU discharge and loss‐to‐follow‐up). We will present results as hazard ratios with 95% confidence intervals and p‐values for the associations of baseline characteristics or site with IV albumin administration. Between‐group differences (interactions) will be assessed using p‐values from likelihood ratio tests. All results will be considered exploratory only.DiscussionThis secondary study of the CLASSIC RCT may yield important insight into potential practice variation in the administration of albumin in septic shock.

Published: May 2023

AbstractBackgroundDuring the COVID‐19 pandemic, patients in the intensive care unit have been subjected to strict isolation precautions, and potentially long and complicated patient courses. The aim of the study is to provide an investigation of the experiences of isolation in COVID‐19‐positive patients in the ICU during the first phase of the COVID‐19 pandemic in Denmark.MethodsThe study was performed in a 20‐bed ICU at a university hospital in Copenhagen, Denmark. The study is based on a phenomenological framework, Phenomenologically Grounded Qualitative Research. This approach provides insights into the tacit, pre‐reflective and embodied dimensions of the specific experience under investigation. Methods included a combination of in‐depth structured interviews with ICU patients 6–12 months after ICU discharge, and observations from inside the isolated patient rooms. The descriptions of experiences gathered through the interviews were subjected to systematic thematic analysis.ResultsTwenty‐nine patients were admitted to the ICU in the period 10 March and 19 May 2020. A total of six patients was included in the study. Themes consistently reported across all patients included (1) being objectified to degrees that implied self‐alienation; (2) feeling a sense of being in captivity; (3) being in an experiential state of surrealism, and finally (4) experiencing extreme loneliness and intercorporeal deprivation.ConclusionThis study provided further insights into the liminal patient experiences of being isolated in the ICU due to COVID‐19. Robust themes of experience were achieved through an in‐depth phenomenological approach. Although, similarities in experiences compared to other patient groups exist, the precarious situation constituted by COVID‐19 lead to significant intensifications across multiple parameters.

Published: May 2023

AbstractHypereosinophilic syndrome describes a process in which eosinophils in the peripheral blood are persistently increased, with variable clinical manifestations. Finding efficacious treatments for this disease can be challenging. This case describes a 72‐year‐old man with idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome with cutaneous manifestations who was successfully treated with dupilumab as a single agent therapy. There was complete clinical and biochemical resolution of disease (eosinophils levels decreased from 4.13 to 0.92) without complications.

Authors: Hamilton Nick J. I. , Saccente‐Kennedy Brian , Ambler Gareth 
Published: May 2023

AbstractObjectivesThis systematic review and meta‐analysis examines if intralaryngeal injection of basic fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) can improve voice outcomes in those with vocal disability.DesignA Systematic review of original human studies reporting voice outcomes following intra‐laryngeal injection of basic fibroblast growth factor 2 in those with vocal dysfunction. Databases searched were Medline (1946–July 2022), Embase (1947–July 2022), Cochrane database and Google Scholar.SettingSecondary or tertiary care centres that undertook the management of voice pathology Hospital.ParticipantsInclusion criteria were original human studies reporting voice outcome measurements following intralaryngeal injection of FGF2 to treat vocal fold atrophy, vocal fold scarring, vocal fold sulcus or vocal fold palsy. Articles not written in English, studies that did not include human subjects and studies where voice outcome measures were not recorded before and after FGF2 injection were excluded from the review.Main Outcome MeasuresThe primary outcome measure was maximum phonation time. Secondary outcome measures included acoustic analysis, glottic closure, mucosal wave formation, voice handicap index and GRBAS scale.ResultsFourteen articles were included out of a search of 1023 and one article was included from scanning reference lists. All studies had a single arm design without control groups. Conditions treated were vocal fold atrophy (n = 186), vocal cord paralysis (n = 74), vocal fold fibrosis (n = 74) and vocal fold sulcus (n = 56). A meta‐analysis of six articles reporting on the use of FGF2 in patients with vocal fold atrophy showed a significant increase of mean maximum phonation time of 5.2 s (95% CI: 3.4–7.0) at 3–6 months following injection. A significant improvement in maximum phonation time, voice handicap index and glottic closure was found following injection in most studies assessed. No major adverse events were reported following injection.ConclusionsTo date, intralaryngeal injection of basic FGF2 appears to be safe and it may be able to improve voice outcomes in those with vocal dysfunction, especially vocal fold atrophy. Randomised controlled trials are needed to further evaluate efficacy and support the wider use of this therapy.

AbstractThe pandemic and the rising living costs have affected teaching and learning practices. These changes have impacted teaching faculty and students alike. This article is an analytical reflection of our experiences of teaching and learning during the omicron wave of the pandemic and rising economic inflation. This paper highlights some of our key observations. The reflective process has challenged some of our preconceptions. It has also helped highlight some questions and contradictions on teaching and learning in this context which may provide a reference for future research.
Effective stress and shear strength parameters of unsaturated soils as affected by compaction and subsequent shearing
Authors: Huang Xinjun , Ren Tusheng , Horn Rainer 
Published: May 2023

AbstractWheeling induced compression and shearing forces are main stresses accounting for soil deformation and changes of hydraulic, gaseous and thermal properties. There are reports about the combined effects of compaction and subsequent shearing on soil hydraulic properties, but their consequences on soil strength properties (i.e., effective stress and shear strength) need to be further analysed. This study investigated the dynamics of soil mechanical properties as affected by pore water pressure () during compaction and shearing. Soil samples from an A‐horizon of Gleysols derived from glacial sediment and a Stagnic Luvisol from loess were analysed. The repacked and structured samples were compressed under static and cyclic loading and then sheared at two speeds (0.3 and 2.0 mm min−1) with three loading levels (50, 100, and 200 kPa). During each stress application, the , chi factor (χ) and effective stress () were measured and calculated. The shear strength (), angle of internal friction () and cohesion (), were determined and fitted by the Mohr–Coulomb failure criterion. The results showed that compaction and shearing increased and χ in all homogenized soils while on structured soils this phenomenon only occurred when the applied loading stress exceeded the soil precompression stress. The increased resulted in soil hydraulic and mechanical stresses, which ultimately reduced the , especially at −6 kPa initial matric potential. Soils with finer texture, higher loading stresses and faster shear speed normally exhibited more reduced values. The structured soil had higher values with higher and compared to the homogenized soils. The changes of at high loading stress (i.e., 200 kPa) may overlap the normal pattern of the Mohr–Coulomb failure line that results from the theoretical Mohr envelope. Thus, to minimize the destruction of soil structure and stability induced by wheeling, it is important to consider field water content, traffic loading and wheeling speed.
Long‐term fertilization and plastic film mulching modify temporal incorporation of 13C/15N‐labelled particulate organic matter

Published: May 2023

AbstractPlastic film mulching (PFM) is critical for agricultural planting and maximizing production in semiarid and arid areas. Particulate organic matter (POM) is assumed to be a sensitive indicator for evaluating the effects of different agricultural practices on soil fertility and the soil organic carbon (SOC) pool. Soil aggregates have the function of ‘wrap’ and protect the POM stored in them. However, there is limited information regarding how PFM and fertilization jointly influence the dynamic changes of newly added stalk‐derived POM in brown earth. Consequently, an in‐depth study of the fate of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) derived from maize stalk residues within the particulate organic carbon (POC) and particulate organic nitrogen (PON) fractions in soil aggregates was undertaken. Its outcome would contribute to better predictions on the active organic matter components sequestered in the soil. The dynamics and accumulation of newly added maize stalk C and N as POC and PON in different soil aggregates (using the dry sieving method divided into >2, 1–2, 0.25–1 and <0.25 mm) were analysed by an in situ 13C/15N‐tracing technique under PFM and different fertilization treatments. Over 360 days of cultivation, the POC and PON contents were significantly (p < 0.05) larger in the nitrogen (N) and organic manure (M) treatments than in the MN (manure combined with nitrogen) and Control treatments. The PFM treatment accelerated the decomposition of maize stalk C in the N fertilizer treatment, with an increase of 64% in stalk‐derived POC after the 1‐day cultivation period. Stalk‐derived POM tended to accumulate in <0.25 mm microaggregates in the early cultivation period and then decreased rapidly with the extension of the cultivation period affected by PFM coupled with fertilization. However, stalk‐derived POM accumulation in macroaggregates (>0.25 mm) fluctuated over the 360‐day cultivation period. Accordingly, PFM application and fertilization practices had important effects on the accumulation of newly added stalk‐derived POM in soil aggregates. We conclude that the accumulation of maize residue POM was primarily affected by soil fertilization type, rather than by the presence or absence of PFM. These results provide new insights into agricultural management strategies for improving soil carbon sequestration capacity.

Published: May 2023

AbstractBackground and purposeThe differences in cognitive function between primary progressive and secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (MS) remain unclear. We compared cognitive performance between primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS) and secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (SPMS), and explored the structural and functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) correlates of their cognitive functions.MethodsSeventy‐five healthy controls and 183 MS patients (60 PPMS and 123 SPMS) underwent 3.0‐T MRI. MS patients were administered the Brief Repeatable Battery of Neuropsychological Tests; cognitive domain z‐scores were calculated and then averaged to obtain a measure of global cognition. Using hierarchical linear regression analysis, the contribution of lesion volumes, normalized brain volumes, white matter (WM) fractional anisotropy (FA) and mean diffusivity abnormalities, and resting state (RS) functional connectivity (FC) alterations to global cognition in PPMS and SPMS was investigated.ResultsPPMS and SPMS had similar z‐scores in all investigated cognitive domains. Poor global cognitive function was associated with decreased FA of the medial lemniscus (ΔR
2 = 0.11, p = 0.011) and lower normalized gray matter volume (ΔR
2 = 0.29, p < 0.001) in PPMS, and with decreased FA of the fornix (ΔR
2 = 0.35, p < 0.001) and lower normalized WM volume (ΔR
2 = 0.05; p = 0.034) in SPMS.ConclusionsPPMS and SPMS had similar neuropsychological performance. Cognitive dysfunction in PPMS and SPMS was related to distinct patterns of structural MRI abnormalities and involvement of different WM tracts, whereas RS FC alterations did not contribute to explaining their global cognitive functioning.
