Learning from collective lived experience: a case study of an experts by experience group
Authors: Pawson Chris , Bolden Richard , Isaac Beth , Fisher Joseph , Mahoney Hannah , Saprai Sandeep 
Published: October 2022

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to present a case study tracking the development and engagement of a group of experts by experience (The Independent Futures (IF) Group) who provided a lived experience voice to the Bristol Golden Key (GK) partnership within the Fulfilling Lives programme. The case study reports the genesis and impact of the group, as well as the facilitators of impact and experiences of the group members and those they worked in partnership with.

Design/methodology/approach
The research adopted an iterative approach drawing on multiple data sources over an eight-year period. An inductive ethnographic analysis of stakeholder and partnership meetings was combined with documentary analysis and thematic analysis of interviews with experts by experience and service providers.

Findings
The voice of lived experience provided by the IF group contributed to the GK partnership through various channels. Evidence of this contribution and its impact was found at programme, city-wide and national levels of the service ecosystem. Furthermore, IF members recognised the value of the group in contributing to systems change and service improvement, but also for themselves.

Practical implications
This case study serves to illustrate the impact of the lived experience voice on services and systems change, specifically the provision of that voice from a formalised advisory group. The successes and challenges of the group and the experiences of its members are reported with a view to sharing learning that may influence future co-production initiatives with experts by experience and service provision for those experiencing multiple disadvantage.

Originality/value
The insights provided by the longitudinal observation of the group as it was formed and evolved, coupled with insights provided by the experts by experience, have important implications for facilitating and supporting sustainable lived experience input.

Published: October 2022

PurposeAlthough understanding how different resources are interconnected within firms is important, there are few studies that have focused on this area. This study aims to explore the unique and interactive effects of technical lean practices (TLPs) and human lean practices (TLPs) on the operational performance (OP) of manufacturing SMEs in Yemen, a less developed country (LDC).Design/methodology/approachDepending on data collected from 318 manufacturing SMEs in Yemen, the relationships in the proposed model were tested using hierarchical regression analysis via PROCESS Macro V. 3.5 in SPSS.FindingsThe results show that both TLPs and HLPs have unique effects on OP of SMEs. More importantly, both TLPs and HLPs have synergistic effects on OP.Practical implicationsThe study would be of interest to Lean practitioners, as the results of this study can be used in firms to put a focus on how TLPs and HLPs have to interact when it comes to the successful implementation of lean manufacturing (LM).Originality/valueAlthough research interest in LM is increasing, the interactive effects of TLPs and HLPs remain to be understood. This study provides an initial empirical evidence for performance outcomes from the interaction between TLPs and HLPs of SMEs in LDCs such as Yemen. Most of the previous studies on lean practices have focused on SMEs in developed countries, which may not fully apply to LDCs such as Yemen. This is helpful for SMEs' managers in the context of LDCs to understand how TLPs can further improve OP when interacting with HLPs.
Cruising through advertising: cruise ship brochure advertising in the late twentieth century
Authors: Cardow Andrew 
Published: October 2022

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is an archival study of images taken from cruise brochures available in New Zealand from the late twentieth century and early twenty-first century. The investigation adds to previous work undertaken on cruise ship posters and to the discussion surrounding how cruise lines motivated customers to purchase a cruise.

Design/methodology/approach
An archival approach was taken. The aim of the research is to explain how images used in the brochures have their origin in the mid-twentieth century concept of motivational research. In doing so, the work of Veblen (1899), Lazarsfeld (1935) and Packard (1957, 1959) are used as a foundation to illustrate how more recent commentators, such as Gad (2016) and Jamieson (1983), can be evoked.

Findings
Analysis of the images presented builds upon previous work done on cruise ship posters. Previous examinations used mid-twentieth century posters to show how the ship was slowly being eroded. The current work illustrates how the brochure evolved to entice consumers to purchase. Analysis of the images suggests that motivational theory is alive and well within the cruise industry.

Research limitations/implications
This study is constructed around the archival holding of the National Maritime Museum of New Zealand. As such, the study does not include information that does not form part of this holding.

Practical implications
New Zealand underwent large structural, economic and social change between 1984 and 2000. During that time, there was growth of income inequity. This provided some with greater disposable income for leisure and travel. While the following survey concerns cruise ship brochures, an examination of airline, resort and hotel advertising may be worthy of a companion study.

Originality/value
The cruise ship brochure available to New Zealand customers in the last quarter of the twentieth century demonstrated the ship is not centre stage. In this regard, the following work adds to previous work conducted using posters and an understanding of the evolution of cruise ship advertising in emergent modern markets.

Published: October 2022

PurposeAiming at the lack of explanatory power of traditional industrial organization theory in cross-border competition, by introducing the idea of ecological niche, the authors aim to explore the competitive situation of platform-based enterprises when they operate in multiple fields.Design/methodology/approachWith the help of ecological niche theory, construct the niche width and niche overlap index of typical enterprises in the platform economy, and find out the advantages and the intensity of competition through comparative analysis.FindingsIn an environment of cross-border competition, large enterprises have significant competitive advantages, and the fierce competition is concentrated among medium-sized enterprises.Originality/valueThe conclusions of this paper not only provide new insights for explaining the phenomenon of cross-border competition in the platform economy, but also provide theoretical reference for the anti-trust enforcement practice in the platform economy.
Nitrogen repression of deoxynivalenol biosynthesis is mediated by Mep2 ammonium permease in Fusarium graminearum
Authors: Hu Yuting , Hou Rui , Wang Zeyi , Zhang Weiwei , Xu Jin‐Rong 
Published: October 2022

AbstractFusarium graminearum is an important wheat pathogen and a producer of deoxynivalenol (DON). Biosynthesis of DON is suppressed by ammonium and induced by arginine and polyamines. To better understand ammonium repression of DON biosynthesis, in this study, we functionally characterized three ammonium permease (MEP) genes in F. graminearum. All the mep deletion mutants were normal in growth on V8 agar. Whereas deletion of MEP1 had no detectable phenotypes, the mep2 and mep3 mutants had defects in hyphal growth under ammonium limiting conditions and infection of wheat heads, with the latter having less severe defects. Deletion of MEP2 but not MEP3 affected nitrogen repression of DON biosynthesis and genes involved in nitrate metabolism. The mep2 mep3 double mutant had more severe defects in nitrogen repression than the mep2 mutant and was defective in ascospore releasing. Mutant alleles of MEP2 with truncated C‐terminal cytoplasmic tail (CT) failed to complement the mep2 mutant. Expression of a dominant active allele of RAS2 partially rescued the defects of mep2 in nitrogen repression. Taken together, these results suggest that Mep2 acts as the major sensor of ammonium availability in F. graminearum and its CT region functions in nitrogen repression via RAS2 and downstream signalling pathways.
Bigger or better? The effect of public spending on happiness in Africa
Authors: Fambeu Ariel Herbert , Mbondo Georges Dieudonné , Yomi Patricia Tchawa 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThe aim of this paper is to assess the effect of government spending on happiness in 39 African countries from 2006 to 2018. The neoclassical view predicts a positive effect, while public choice theory predicts the opposite. The results obtained using the Generalized Method of Moment reveal that public spending has no direct effect on happiness in Africa. However, public spending positively affects happiness in the poorest countries of Africa. Furthermore, governments can improve the happiness of African populations through public spending coupled with democratic regimes and the control of inflation.
‘Truly a three‐dimensional job’: The feminisation of clerical work in Cape Town, 1900–1960
Authors: Rommelspacher Amy 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThis article investigates whether in Cape Town and South Africa, clerical work went from being a male occupation to one dominated by women a few decades later, as it did in other places in the early twentieth century. It explores women's involvement in clerical and office employment from 1900 to 1960. In the USA and Canada, clerical work remained a ‘white' occupation until the 1960s and was linked to notions of middle‐class respectability. This work expects this trend to be more pronounced in South Africa and finds that while clerical work feminised amongst white workers, it defeminised for other races.
Pulsed electric field‐assisted drying: A review of its underlying mechanisms, applications, and role in fresh produce plant‐based food preservation

AbstractDrying is a key processing step for plant‐based foods. The quality of dried products, including the physical, nutritional, microbiological, and sensory attributes, is influenced by the drying method used. Conventional drying technologies have low efficiency and can negatively affect product quality. Recently, pulsed electric field (PEF)‐assisted techniques are being explored as a novel pretreatment for drying. This review focuses on the application of PEF as pretreatment for drying plant‐based products, the preservation effects of this pretreatment, and its underlying mechanisms. A literature search revealed that PEF‐assisted drying is beneficial for maintaining the physicochemical properties of the dried products and preserving their color and constituent chemical compounds. PEF‐assisted drying promotes rehydration and improves the kinetics of drying. Unlike conventional technologies, PEF‐assisted drying enables selective cell disintegration while maintaining product quality. Before the drying process, PEF pretreatment inactivates microbes and enzymes and controls respiratory activity, which may further contribute to preservation. Despite numerous advantages, the efficiency and applicably of PEF‐assisted drying can be improved in the future.

AbstractMitochondrial NAD+‐dependent protein deacetylase Sirtuin3 (SIRT3) has been proposed to mediate calorie restriction (CR)‐dependent metabolic regulation and lifespan extension. Here, we investigated the role of SIRT3 in CR‐mediated longevity, mitochondrial function, and aerobic fitness. We report that SIRT3 is required for whole‐body aerobic capacity but is dispensable for CR‐dependent lifespan extension. Under CR, loss of SIRT3 (Sirt3−/−) yielded a longer overall and maximum lifespan as compared to Sirt3+/+ mice. This unexpected lifespan extension was associated with altered mitochondrial protein acetylation in oxidative metabolic pathways, reduced mitochondrial respiration, and reduced aerobic exercise capacity. Also, Sirt3−/−CR mice exhibit lower spontaneous activity and a trend favoring fatty acid oxidation during the postprandial period. This study shows the uncoupling of lifespan and healthspan parameters (aerobic fitness and spontaneous activity) and provides new insights into SIRT3 function in CR adaptation, fuel utilization, and aging.
Pioneer palm tree as an ecosystem engineer: Effects on ant community structure
Authors: Dantas Anderson , Dantas Thais A. Vitoriano , Ribeiro‐Neto José Domingos 
Published: October 2022

AbstractEcosystem engineer species can affect the assembly and maintenance of biological communities by altering local environmental conditions. Several palm tree species play this role in changing the surrounding environment mainly through the fall of entire rachis and the formation of a thick and homogeneous leaf litter layer beneath the canopy. However, their impact on soil animal communities remains unclear. In particular, soil organisms (e.g. ants) can be negatively affected by palm‐driven local changes, since they are especially susceptible to leaf litter changes. Our objective was to test if the presence of palm trees reduces alpha and beta diversities of ant communities at taxonomic and morphometric levels. We also tested if palm tree understory mound (debris pile just below the canopy) area and population density reduce ant community alpha and beta diversities (at the taxonomic and morphometric levels) in tropical rainforests. To do so, we described taxonomic and morphometric diversity patterns of ant communities in a relictual landscape of the Atlantic Rainforest (northeastern Brazil) using Hill's numbers approach in two habitats: understory mounds surrounding the palm tree species Acrocomia intumescens, and forest understory without A. intumescens (non‐palm understory). Our main findings were: (1) Taxonomic and morphometric alpha diversity were similar between A. intumescens understory mound and non‐palm understory; (2) Ant communities in non‐palm understory presented higher beta diversity than communities from A. intumescens understory mounds considering both rare species and morphometric traits; (3) A. intumescens understory mound area negatively affected common and dominant ant species; and (4) the interaction between understory mound area and the population density of A. intumescens affected dominant ant species in complex ways and the outcomes depend on the balance between both predictors. Our findings point to an important role of palm trees as ecosystem engineers in reducing ant biodiversity and changing the functional signature of human‐modified tropical rainforests.

AbstractAimTo investigate the impact of family history of type 2 diabetes (T2D) on the clinical phenotypes of patients with idiopathic type 1 diabetes (T1D).MethodsIn clinically diagnosed T1D cases, a total of 335 idopathic T1D patients were included in the study, after excluding autoimmune T1D using islet autoantibody testing and monogenic diabetes using a custom monogenic diabetes gene panel obtained from clinically diagnosed T1D cases. A semi‐structured questionnaire was used to collect information on the presence of T2D in first‐degree relatives. The demographic and metabolic markers of idiopathic T1D patients were analysed. Subgroup analysis was performed to investigate potential interactions between T2D family history and human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genotypes.ResultsA total of 18.2% of individuals with idiopathic T1D had a T2D family history, and these individuals were more likely to have features associated with T2D, such as older age of onset, higher body mass index at diagnosis, lower insulin dosage and better beta‐cell function, as indicated by higher levels of fasting C‐peptide and 2‐hour postprandial C‐peptide (all P < 0.05). Additionally, regardless of HLA susceptible genotypes, the impact of family history of T2D was consistently observed in idiopathic T1D patients. Multivariable analyses showed that T2D family history was negatively correlated with the risk of beta‐cell function failure in idiopathic T1D patients (P < 0.05).ConclusionsFamily history of T2D may be implicated in the heterogeneity of idiopathic T1D patients.
Impact of iron supplementation on gestational diabetes mellitus: A literature review
Authors: Liu Lulu , Yan Feng , Yan Hongyuan , Wang Zhiqiang 
Published: October 2022

AbstractGestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a common complication of pregnancy, affecting 14% of pregnancies worldwide, and the prevention of pathological hyperglycaemia during pregnancy is meaningful for global public health. The role of iron supplementation in the progression of GDM has been of significant interest in recent years. Iron is a micronutrient that is vital during pregnancy; however, given the toxic properties of excess iron, it is probable that prophylactic iron supplementation will increase the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes, including GDM. It is critical to clarify the effect of iron supplementation on the risk of GDM. Therefore, in this review, we comprehensively assess the role of iron in pregnancy. This review aimed to analyse the necessity of iron supplementation and maintenance of iron homeostasis during pregnancy, particularly reviewing the role and function of iron in beta cells and examining the mechanisms of excess iron contributing to the pathogenesis of GDM. Moreover, we aimed to discuss the association of haemoglobin and ferritin with GDM and identify priority areas for research.

AbstractAimTo assess the potential gain in the number of life‐years free of a (recurrent) cardiovascular disease (CVD) event with optimal cardiovascular risk management (CVRM) and initiation of glucose‐lowering agents with proven cardiovascular benefit in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D).Materials and Methods9,416 individuals with T2D from the CAPTURE study, a non‐interventional, cross‐sectional, multinational study, were included. The diabetes lifetime‐perspective prediction model was used for calculating individual 10‐year and lifetime CVD risk. The distribution of preventive medication use was assessed according to predicted CVD risk and stratified for history of CVD. For the estimation of absolute individual benefit from lifelong preventive treatment, including optimal CVRM and the addition of glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonists (GLP‐1 RAs) and sodium‐glucose co‐transporter‐2 inhibitors (SGLT‐2is), the model was combined with treatment effects from current evidence.ResultsGLP‐1 RA or SGLT‐2i use did not greatly differ between patients with and without CVD history, while use of blood pressure‐lowering medication, statins and aspirin was more frequent in patients with CVD. Mean (standard deviation [SD]) lifetime benefit from optimal CVRM was 3.9 (3.0) and 1.3 (1.9) years in patients with and without established CVD, respectively. Further addition of a GLP‐1 RA and an SGLT‐2i in patients with CVD gave an added mean (SD) lifetime benefit of 1.2 (0.6) years.ConclusionsLife‐years gained free of (recurrent) CVD by optimal CVRM and the addition of a GLP‐1 RA or aSGLT‐2i is dependent on baseline CVD status. These results aid individualizing prevention and promote shared decision‐making in patients with T2D.
Risk attitude assessment using roulette and a supply chain simulation
Authors: Atkins Ryan , Drake Matthew 
Published: October 2022

ABSTRACTMany topics that are taught in supply chain management (SCM) programs include elements of variability and risk. With quantitative tools in particular, it is assumed that the decision makers using the tools are risk neutral, which is typically not the case in real‐life decision situations. The topic of an individual's attitude toward risk has received limited attention in SCM literature and is not a high‐profile topic in SCM textbooks. The teaching exercise presented in this paper uses two games—roulette and a SCM simulation—to provide students with an assessment of their own attitude toward risk, and in doing so, facilitates a classroom discussion of risk and risk attitude. These games were developed by the authors and can be played either within Excel or a web application.
Improving consultation to ensure the European Union's democratic legitimacy: From traditional procedural requirements to behavioural insights
Authors: Rangone Nicoletta 
Published: October 2022

AbstractConsultation is a crucial tool for better regulation, as well as being essential for the accountability and legitimacy of decision‐makers. The European minimum requirements for consultation are fundamental conditions in order to attain these goals. However, they may not be enough, and consultation should also be designed to neutralise or reveal cognitive limitations, both of decision‐makers as well as of stakeholders. This paper claims that enriching the better regulation approach with cognitive insights can in fact increase consultation effectiveness and thus become a critical piece in the puzzle to improve the legitimacy of the European Commission. Moreover, it suggests some techniques to tackle this complexity, which need to be further assessed by ad hoc experiments.
