Published: May 2022

PurposeThis study contributes to the extant literature on ICT firms by investigating the interrelationship between the health and safety (H&S) measures, market performance, and the coronavirus (COVID-19).Design/methodology/approachTo conduct the confirmatory analysis by testing our hypotheses, data have been collected from Bloomberg of all ICT firms from five countries. The authors gathered from 2010 until 2020 as the research sample to examine the pandemic impact on market performance and H&S measures.FindingsFirst, our results reveal a significant and positive relationship between market performance (proxied by Tobin’sQ) and the H&S measures of information technology (IT) firms. Second, the authors find that the IT firms have significantly increased the H&S measures during the COVID-19 period and were dynamic in linking employees’ adaptive capabilities to positive attributes. This has contributed to business success, resiliency, and sustainability.Research limitations/implicationsThe authors used a quantitative method of testing our hypotheses. Future studies may consider checking the robustness using qualitative methods such as structural or semi-structural interviews.Practical implicationsThe study offers valuable insights to academics, practitioners, stakeholders, policymakers, and international entities by fostering knowledge about responses to crises, integrating digital solutions, and disseminating digital information. The study also has implications on the health, social, business, and economic levels. This study is a call for international and local humanitarian organisations such as United Nations High Commission, Care international and many more to understand the gravity of safety of the workers in the workplace during the pandemic period and introduce a firm-level policy accordingly.Originality/valueThis paper is novel considering that the paper is unique in evaluating ICT firms’ market performance and H&S from a global perspective, considering the context of this historical pandemic.

Authors: Acosta-Prado Julio César , Gómez Sánchez Julián Andrés , López-Montoya Oscar Hernán , Tafur-Mendoza Arnold Alejandro 
Published: May 2022

Purpose
This study aims to analyze the influence of sustainable value creation (composed of social, economic and environmental dimensions) on organizational performance in Colombian industrial manufacturing companies.

Design/methodology/approach
This study had a sample of 1,572 companies belonging to the Colombian manufacturing industrial sector. These companies were consulted by the survey of technological development and innovation in the manufacturing industry EDIT IX. For this study’s purpose, a model was developed from a variance-based structural equation modeling or partial least squares.

Findings
The results indicated that the associated mechanisms of the social, economic and environmental dimensions contribute in a significant, positive and large way to the creation of sustainable value for the companies studied. The findings show the importance of the social, economic and environmental dimensions in the creation of sustainable value and in turn, their influence on organizational performance.

Social implications
The findings obtained provide industrial companies and society with resources to understand that economic development can respond to business logic different from those imposed by current neoliberal models.

Originality/value
This study provides an understanding of the value capture mechanisms of small- and medium-sized companies considering the environmental needs of the territory and the community where the business activities take place while generating economic profitability for the other stakeholders.
Sustainability reporting quality and the financial sector: evidence from China
Authors: Dong Shidi , Xu Lei , McIver Ron P. 
Published: May 2022

Purpose
Based on institutional theory, this paper aims to examine whether, and if so which, institutional forces influence the quality of China’s listed financial institutions’ (FIs) sustainability disclosures.

Design/methodology/approach
Using univariate statistical and multiple regression analyses, this study quantitatively examines the impacts of coercive pressure from the government and stock exchanges, imitation within subsectors and normative pressure from industry associations and regulators on the quality of China’s listed FIs’ sustainability disclosures. Assessment of the robustness of regression results uses panel random-effects and generalized methods of moments estimation.

Findings
Financial sector corporate social responsibility (CSR) disclosure quality did not increase dramatically following issue of the “Guiding Opinions on Establishing a Green Finance System.” However, a convergence in quality is found over time. State ownership concentration and state links to dominant shareholders negatively impact the quality of financial sector sustainability disclosures, whereas stock exchange index listing requirements and industry association reporting guidance have positive influences.

Research limitations/implications
First, data availability limits the sample to listed financial firms with RKS quality scores. Thus, results may not be generalizable to the broader listed and unlisted financial sector. Second, this study only examines the influence of external forces based on institutional theory. However, internal institutional forces, such as corporate governance, may require examination. This study’s results indicate that coercive pressure, as represented by issue of the “Green Finance” policy, has not yet prompted the financial sector to improve reporting quality; however, normative pressure has had significant influence in influencing FIs’ CSR practices, with China’s banks potentially taking a leading role.

Originality/value
The financial sector has a lower direct environmental impact than traditional polluting industries and different operating and reporting structures, features often used to argue for its exclusion in prior studies. However, its indirect environmental impact via lending and investing activities is significant, suggesting evidence on the determinants of sustainability disclosure quality is required. This study uses evidence from China’s financial sector to reduce this gap in the literature.

Design, additive manufacturing and component testing of pneumatic rotary vane actuators for lightweight robots
Authors: Dämmer Gabriel , Bauer Hartmut , Neumann Rüdiger , Major Zoltan 
Published: May 2022

Purpose
This study aims to investigate the suitability of a multi-step prototyping strategy for producing pneumatic rotary vane actuators (RVAs) for the development of lightweight robots and actuation systems.

Design/methodology/approach
RVAs typically have cast aluminum housings and injection-molded seals that consist of hard thermoplastic cores and soft elastomeric overmolds. Using a combination of additive manufacturing (AM), computer numerical control (CNC) machining and elastomer molding, a conventionally manufactured standard RVA was replicated. The standard housing design was modified, and polymeric replicas were obtained by selective laser sintering (SLS) or PolyJet (PJ) printing and subsequent CNC milling. Using laser-sintered molds, actuator seals were replicated by overmolding laser-sintered polyamide cores with silicone (SIL) and polyurethane (PU) elastomers. The replica RVAs were subjected to a series of leakage, friction and durability experiments.

Findings
The AM-based prototyping strategy described is suitable for producing functional and reliable RVAs for research and product development. In a representative durability experiment, the RVAs in this study endured between 40,000 and 1,000,000 load cycles. Frictional torques were around 0.5 Nm, which is 10% of the theoretical torque at 6 bar and comparable to that of the standard RVA. Models and parameters are provided for describing the velocity-dependent frictional torque. Leakage experiments at 10,000 load cycles and 6 bar differential pressure showed that PJ housings exhibit lower leakage values (6.8 L/min) than laser-sintered housings (15.2 L/min), and PU seals exhibit lower values (8.0 l/min) than SIL seals (14.0 L/min). Combining PU seals with PJ housings led to an initial leakage of 0.4 L/min, which increased to only 1.2 L/min after 10,000 load cycles. Overall, the PU material used was more difficult to process but also more abrasion- and tear-resistant than the SIL elastomer.

Research limitations/implications
More work is needed to understand individual cause–effect relationships between specific design features and system behavior.

Originality/value
To date, pneumatic RVAs have been manufactured by large-scale production technologies. The absence of suitable prototyping strategies has limited the available range to fixed sizes and has thus complicated the use of RVAs in research and product development. This paper proves that functional pneumatic RVAs can be produced by using more accessible manufacturing technologies and provides the tools for prototyping of application-specific RVAs.

Published: May 2022

AbstractChronic hypoxia negatively affects male fertility by causing pathological changes in male reproductive system. However, underlying mechanisms of this damage are unknown. Chloroquine (CLQ) is an anti‐inflammatory agent that is widely used in the treatment of inflammation‐related diseases such as malaria and rheumatoid arthritis. This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic effects of CLQ in the hypoxia‐induced testicular damage via assessment of hypoxic response, endoplasmic reticulum stress and apoptosis. For this purpose, 32 Wistar albino rats were divided into 4 groups as control (given 20%‐21% O2, no treatment), CLQ (given 50 mg/kg and 20%‐21% O2for 28 days), hypoxia (HX) (given 10% O2for 28 days) and HX + CLQ (given 50 mg/kg and 10% O2for 28 days). After the experiment, blood samples and testicular tissues were taken. Histopathological evaluation was performed on testicular tissues and hypoxia‐inducible factor 1‐α (HIF1‐α), heat shock proteins (HSPs) HSP70, HSP90 and growth arrest and DNA damage‐inducible gene 153 (GADD153) expression levels were detected via immunohistochemistry. Moreover, apoptotic cells were detected via terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labelling (TUNEL) staining and serum testosterone levels were determined by enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) assay. Histopathological changes, apoptotic cell numbers and HIF1‐α, HSP70, HSP90 and GADD153 expressions significantly increased in HX group (P < .05). Moreover, serum testosterone levels decreased in this group (P > .05). However, CLQ exerted a strong ameliorative effect on all parameters in HX + CLQ group. According to our results, we suggested that CLQ can be considered as an alternative protective agent for eliminating the negative effects of hypoxic conditions on male fertility.
Review article: Effectiveness and risks of cricoid pressure during rapid sequence induction for endotracheal intubation in the emergency department: A systematic review
Authors: Tessarolo Ella , Alkhouri Hatem , Lelos Nicholas , Sarrami Pooria , McCarthy Sally 
Published: May 2022

AbstractThe use of cricoid pressure (CP) to prevent aspiration during rapid sequence induction (RSI) has become controversial, although CP is considered central to the practice of RSI. There is insufficient research to support its efficacy in reducing aspiration, and emerging concerns it reduces the first‐pass success (FPS) of intubation. This systematic review aims to assess the safety and efficacy of CP during RSI in EDs by investigating its effect on FPS and the incidence of complications, including gastric regurgitation and aspiration. A systematic review of four databases was performed for all primary research investigating CP during RSI in EDs. The primary outcome was FPS; secondary outcomes included complications such as gastric regurgitation, aspiration, hypoxia, hypotension and oesophageal intubation. After screening 4208 citations, three studies were included: one randomised controlled trial (n = 54) investigating the incidence of aspiration during the application of CP and two registry studies (n = 3710) comparing the rate of FPS of RSI with and without CP. The results of these individual studies are not sufficient to draw concrete conclusions but do suggest that aspiration occurs regardless of the application of CP, and that FPS is not reduced by the application of CP. There is insufficient evidence to conclude whether applying CP during RSI in EDs affects the rate of FPS or the incidence of complications such as aspiration. Further research in the ED, including introducing CP usage into other existing airway registries, is needed.
L’‘Histoire de ma littérature’ de Mme d’Arconville (1720‐1805): Ecriture de soi et généalogie d’une personnalité intellectuelle
Authors: Bernier Marc André 
Published: May 2022

AbstractMme d’Arconville stands out amongst eighteenth‐century women of letters because she combined the practice of literature with the more unexpected study of science. When at the end of a very long life she returns to what she calls the ‘story of her head’, the anecdotes she recounts constitute a genealogy of her thought stemming from her childhood’s encyclopaedic curiosity. This essay examines this intellectual narrative through two unpublished autobiographical manuscripts written around 1803: the ‘Histoire de ma littérature’ and ‘Mes souvenirs’. These are less concerned with rooting identity in an intimate sense of self than with investigating the genealogy of what would later be called an intellectual personality. Her autobiographical writing thus invites us to rediscover a world both within and outside the self and makes it not only possible to retrace the intellectual history of a woman, but also to apprehend experiences from the period’s vast networks of sociability.

Published: May 2022

AbstractObjectiveCardiogenic shock (CS) often occurs in patients suffering from rapidly progressing end‐stage heart failure or acute myocardial infarction. Mechanical circulatory support may be used for patients who do not respond to medication or revascularization to stabilize hemodynamics. Extracorporeal ventricular assist device (Extra‐VAD) has been reported to be successful for patients with cardiogenic shock. This study aimed to evaluate the 30‐day in‐vivo performance and safety of a newly developed Extra‐VAD with maglev centrifugal pump technology, MoyoAssist®.MethodThe study was conducted with 6 healthy ovine models, weighing 43.2 ~ 59.6 kg. Cannulation was performed with a 34 Fr venous cannula surgically connected to the left arterial appendage and a 24 Fr arterial cannula inserted into descending aorta. The pump flow rate was maintained at 2 ~ 3 L/min to provide sufficient cardiac support without suction. Activated clotting time was maintained within the range of 150 ~ 250 s.ResultsNo device‐related adverse events occurred throughout the study. Plasma‐free hemoglobin results were within the acceptable range of ventricular assist device therapy (<40 mg/dl). MGS01 had an anticoagulation management related bleeding event and was terminated on day 29. All other sheep's biochemical test results were stable. The autopsy showed no embolism or thrombus formation and no end‐organ damage.ConclusionThis study demonstrated that the MoyoAssist® Extra‐VAD is able to provide cardiac support effectively and safely and may provide a new alternative choice for patients with CS in China.
Adolescent–parent relationships and youth well‐being in Turkey
Authors: Dost‐Gözkan Ayfer 
Published: May 2022

AbstractIn this article, I review research on adolescent–parent relationships and youth well‐being in Turkey. Turkey is a country that has changed rapidly due to urbanization and globalization, and that is characterized by cultural heterogeneity in values, all of which have implications for parent–child relationships. I focus first on parenting styles, and then discuss two dimensions of parenting—warmth and parental control—that are considered more universal and culturally variable, respectively, in terms of their associations with well‐being. Overall, research from Turkey is consistent with findings across cultures, showing a positive link between higher warmth and youth well‐being. But recent research has challenged the cultural normativity hypothesis, which claims that psychological control may not harm the well‐being of children in collectivist cultures because it is perceived as a norm in its sociocultural context. Research from collectivist cultures, including Turkey, suggests that the perception of normativity does not preclude its adversity.
Narrative Comprehension Guides Eye Movements in the Absence of Motion

Published: May 2022

AbstractViewers’ attentional selection while looking at scenes is affected by both top‐down and bottom‐up factors. However, when watching film, viewers typically attend to the movie similarly irrespective of top‐down factors—a phenomenon we call the tyranny of film. A key difference between still pictures and film is that film contains motion, which is a strong attractor of attention and highly predictive of gaze during film viewing. The goal of the present study was to test if the tyranny of film is driven by motion. To do this, we created a slideshow presentation of the opening scene of Touch of Evil. Context condition participants watched the full slideshow. No‐context condition participants did not see the opening portion of the scene, which showed someone placing a time bomb into the trunk of a car. In prior research, we showed that despite producing very different understandings of the clip, this manipulation did not affect viewers’ attention (i.e., the tyranny of film), as both context and no‐context participants were equally likely to fixate on the car with the bomb when the scene was presented as a film. The current study found that when the scene was shown as a slideshow, the context manipulation produced differences in attentional selection (i.e., it attenuated attentional synchrony). We discuss these results in the context of the Scene Perception and Event Comprehension Theory, which specifies the relationship between event comprehension and attentional selection in the context of visual narratives.
