Consumer's transition to online clothing buying during the COVID-19 pandemic: exploration through protection motivation theory and consumer well-being
Authors: Kursan Milaković Ivana , Miocevic Dario 
Published: January 2022

PurposeBy drawing on protection motivation theory, this study explores consumers' motivation to engage in adaptive behaviour envisioned through a transition from offline to online clothing purchasing during the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, this paper explores the conditioning effects of consumer resilience and satisfaction with retailers' assistive intent through the consumer well-being framework.Design/methodology/approachA total of 363 useable surveys were obtained from Croatian consumers. Data were analysed with confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modelling.FindingsCoping appraisal positively impacts adaptive behaviour by increasing online clothing purchase intention, while threat appraisal has no direct effect on adaptive behaviour. The relationship between threat appraisal and adaptive behaviour is negatively moderated by consumer resilience and satisfaction with the retailer's assistive intent.Research limitations/implicationsLimitations include the convenience sampling method and data collection at one point as well as the focus on consumers from one country.Practical implicationsThis study provides a blueprint for designing marketing actions that retail managers should consider to respond to a crisis effectively while maintaining satisfactory buying experiences during health crises and other challenging events.Originality/valueGiven the unique research context, i.e. the COVID-19 pandemic, this study is one of the few and the first in Croatia to unfold the importance of protection motivation theory in providing a greater understanding of consumer's adaptive behaviour (transition from offline to online) in online clothing retail channels during the period of the global health-related crisis. Benefits from understanding consumers' coping and threat appraisal mechanisms while addressing their buying needs in adverse circumstances are revealed. In addition, the theoretical implications regarding the conditional effects of consumer resilience and consumer satisfaction with retailers' assistive intent during a pandemic are also provided.

Published: January 2022

PurposeTo organize stroke care, multiple stakeholders work closely together in integrated stroke care services (ISCS). However, even a well-developed integrated care program needs a continuous quality improvement (CQI) cycle. The current paper aims to describe the development of a unique peer-to-peer audit framework, the development model for integrated care (DMIC), the Dutch stroke care standard and benchmark indicators for stroke.Design/methodology/approachA group of experts was brought together in 2016 to discuss the aims and principles of a national audit framework. The steering group quality assurance (SGQA) consisted of representatives of a diversity of professions in the field of stroke care in the Netherlands, including managers, nurses, medical specialists and paramedics.FindingsAuditors, coordinators and professionals evaluated the framework, agreed on that the framework was easy to use and valued the interesting and enjoyable audits, the compliments, feedback and fruitful insights. Participants consider that a quality label may help to overcome necessity issues and have health care insurers on board. Finally, a structured improvement plan after the audit is needed.Originality/valueAn audit offers fruitful insights into the functioning of an ISCS and the collaboration therein. Best practices and points of improvement are revealed and can fuel collaboration and the development of partnerships. Innovative cure and care may lead to an increasing area of support among professionals in the ISCS and consequently lead to improved quality of delivered stroke care.
Early career programs for mental health occupational therapists: A survey of current practice
Authors: Foster Frances , Palexas Sarah , Hitch Danielle 
Published: January 2022

AbstractIntroductionEarly in their career, occupational therapists may require a range of additional development for a successful transition to the profession. However, both the definition of ‘early career’ and the relevant development for this career stage vary between sources. In regard to occupational therapists transitioning to mental health professional practice, there is very little evidence to draw upon when designing the structure and content of development programs. This study aimed to review current practices in early career programs for mental health occupational therapists within the Australian state of Victoria.MethodsTertiary mental health services in Victoria were purposefully recruited, supplemented by snowball recruitment. The participants responded to a bespoke survey including open and closed questions, designed to benchmark practices against previous research and explore current practices with early career mental health occupational therapists. Thirteen services participated, with respondents including senior clinicians, allied health chiefs, allied health clinical educators and early career development program coordinators.ResultsThe participants confirmed the perceived value of development programs for early career mental health occupational therapists; however, limited resources were available to develop, implement and sustain these supports. Program content, structure and terminology varied significantly, as did the identified competencies for participants to achieve. Some of this variability was related to program eligibility criteria and early career workforce structure within organisations.ConclusionEarly career mental health occupational therapist development should be responsive to their local service environments. A better understanding of the outcomes of these programs for early career occupational therapists, from both an individual and service perspective, could also provide a firmer rationale and foundation for sustained resourcing of this valuable approach to workforce development.
A Case Study: Same Day Spontaneous Reduction of a Traumatic Infantile Depressed Skull Fracture
Authors: Tang Kinglam , Chow Kwan Ho , Po Yin‐Chung 
Published: January 2022

AbstractA depressed skull fracture refers to a focal caving of the calvaria. Conservative management in the paediatric population is advised in the absence of brain injury as the deformity will often correct itself as the skull grows over the following months. Herein, we present a rare case of an infantile traumatic depressed skull fracture that spontaneously resolved within 4 hours of the injury. A 9‐month‐old male presented with a 6 mm deep traumatic depressed skull fracture after falling from sofa height. The fracture spontaneously reduced during a crying episode whilst waiting for the CT scan and the subsequent brain CT confirmed complete resolution of the fracture with no brain injury. The child was monitored in the outpatient setting and remained well with no neurological or cosmetic sequalae. It is postulated that the infant's skull plasticity and the increased intracranial pressure (ICP) from his crying allowed for the spontaneous resolution of the skull deformity. This case thus beautifully illustrates the efficacy of watchful waiting in traumatic paediatric depressed skull fractures without underlying neurological injury.
On the value of innovation and extension information: SCN‐resistant soybean varieties
Authors: Lee Seungki , Moschini GianCarlo 
Published: January 2022

AbstractThis paper presents direct evidence on the impact of a specific extension program that is aimed at promoting the adoption of varieties resistant to the soybean cyst nematode (SCN), specifically the Iowa State University SCN‐Resistant Soybean Variety Trials. We use two data sources: experimental data from these variety trials and a rich proprietary dataset on farmers’ seed purchases. Combining these data, we estimate the value of soybean cyst nematode‐resistant variety availability, and the associated variety trials that provide information on their performance to farmers and seed companies. Given the scope and diffusion of this extension program, the focus of the analysis is on Iowa and northern Illinois over the period 2011–2016. Farmers’ seed choices are modeled in a discrete choice framework, specifically a one‐level nested logit model. Using the estimated demand model, we find farmers’ marginal willingness to pay for soybean cyst nematode‐resistant varieties, and for related extension information provided by the Iowa State University SCN‐Resistant Soybean Variety Trials program, to be large. These results are confirmed by counterfactual analyses showing that, over the six‐year period and region of the study, the total ex post welfare change associated with the existence of, and information about, SCN‐resistant seeds is about $478 million. About one‐third of this surplus is captured by seed suppliers, and two‐thirds accrues to farmers.
The learning curve to attain surgical competency in robotic colorectal surgery
Authors: Wong Shing Wai , Ang Zhen Hao , Crowe Philip 
Published: January 2022

AbstractIntroductionThe aim of the study was to assess the robotic colorectal surgery (RCS) learning curve of an experienced surgeon.MethodsA retrospective review of 117 consecutive patients who underwent total RCS at a single institution between October 2018 and July 2021 was performed. Patient demographics, surgery indications, operation type, intraoperative data, histopathology, morbidity and mortality, and length of stay were analysed. Cumulative summation technique (CUSUM) was used to construct a learning curve of surgeon console and total operation times (SCT and TOT).ResultsThere was no open conversion, positive resection margin and mortality in the study population. There were four Clavien‐DIndo grade III complications and one local recurrence. The range for SCT was 18–855 min (mean 214, median 211) and TOT was 68–937 min (mean 302, median 291). The SCT CUSUM graph identified change in slope at cases 44 and 88, which divided the learning curve into three distinct phases. Patient demographics were similar through the three phases. There was proportionally more cancer cases performed in the first phase (P = 0.001). The mean SCT was significantly higher in Phase 2 when compared with Phases 1 and 3 (P = 0.03). The failure rate was similar through the three phases. There was a non‐significant steady decline in LOS over the three phases, from 6.9 to 6.1 days.ConclusionExperienced colorectal surgeons can perform robotic surgery safely, even on patients with high complexity early in the learning curve. Audit of patient outcome should be an important component of learning curve assessment.

AbstractObjectivesExtracorporeal membrane oxygenation or extracorporeal life support (ECLS) in patients after cardiac surgery and postcardiotomy cardiogenic shock (PCS) is known to be associated with high mortality. Especially in patients after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and PCS, ECLS is frequently established. The aim of this analysis was to evaluate factors associated with in‐hospital mortality in patients treated with ECLS due to PCS after CABG.MethodsBetween August 2006 and January 2017, 92 consecutive patients with V‐A ECLS due to PCS after isolated CABG were identified and included in this retrospective analysis. Patients were divided into survivors (S) and non‐survivors (NS) and analyzed with risk factors of in‐hospital mortality.ResultsIn‐hospital mortality added up to 61 patients (66%). Non‐survivors were significantly older (60 ± 812 (S) vs. 67 ± 10 (NS); p = 0.013). Bilateral internal mammary artery graft was significantly more frequently used in S (23% (S) vs. 2% (NS); p = 0.001). After 24 h of ECLS support, median lactate levels were significantly higher in NS (1.9 (1.3; 3.5) mmol/L (S) vs. 3.5 (2.1; 6.3) mmol/L (NS); p = 0.001). NS suffered more often acute kidney injury requiring dialysis (42% (S) vs. 74% (NS); p = 0.002).ConclusionMortality in patients with refractory PCS after CABG and consecutive ECLS support remains high. Failing end‐organ recovery under ECLS despite optimized concomitant medical therapy is an indicator of adverse outcomes in this specific patient cohort. Moreover, total‐arterial revascularization might be beneficial for cardiac recovery in patients suffering PCS after CABG and following ECLS.

Published: January 2022

Background and PurposeStudies using intermittent‐access drug self‐administration show increased motivation to take and seek cocaine and fentanyl, relative to continuous access. In this study, we examined the effects of intermittent‐ and continuous‐access self‐administration on heroin intake, patterns of self‐administration and cue‐induced heroin‐seeking, after forced or voluntary abstinence, in male and female rats. We also modelled brain levels of heroin and its active metabolites.Experimental ApproachRats were trained to self‐administer a palatable solution and then heroin (0.075 mg·kg−1 per inf) either continuously (6 h·day−1; 10 days) or intermittently (6 h·day−1; 5‐min access every 30‐min; 10 days). Brain levels of heroin and its metabolites were modelled using a pharmacokinetic software. Next, heroin‐seeking was assessed after 1 or 21 abstinence days. Between tests, rats underwent either forced or voluntary abstinence. The oestrous cycle was measured using a vaginal smear test.Key ResultsIntermittent access exacerbated heroin self‐administration and was characterized by a burst‐like intake, yielding higher brain peaks of heroin and 6‐monoacetylmorphine concentrations. Moreover, intermittent access increased cue‐induced heroin‐seeking during early, but not late abstinence. Heroin‐seeking was higher in females after intermittent, but not continuous access, and this effect was independent of the oestrous cycle.Conclusions and ImplicationsIntermittent heroin access in rats resembles critical features of heroin use disorder: a self‐administration pattern characterized by repeated large doses of heroin and higher relapse vulnerability during early abstinence. This has significant implications for refining animal models of substance use disorder and for better understanding of the neuroadaptations responsible for this disorder.LINKED ARTICLESThis article is part of a themed issue on Advances in Opioid Pharmacology at the Time of the Opioid Epidemic.

The effect of breached relay ramp structures on deep‐lacustrine sedimentary systems
Authors: Plenderleith Gayle E. , Dodd Thomas J. H. , McCarthy Dave J. 
Published: January 2022

AbstractFault relay ramps are important sediment delivery points along rift margins and often provide persistent flow pathways in deepwater sedimentary basins. They form as tilted rock volumes between en‐echelon fault segments, which become modified through progressive deformation, and may develop through‐going faults that ‘breach’ the relay ramp. It is well established that hinterland drainage (fluvial/alluvial systems) is greatly affected by the presence of relay ramps at basin margins. However, the impact on deepwater (deep‐marine/lacustrine) subaqueous sediment gravity flow processes, particularly by breached relay ramps, is less well documented. To better evaluate the complex geology of breached relay settings, this study examines a suite of high‐quality subsurface data from the Early Cretaceous deep‐lacustrine North Falkland Basin (NFB). The Isobel Embayment breached relay‐ramp, an ideal example, formed during the syn‐rift and was later covered by a thick transitional and early post‐rift succession. Major transitional and early post‐rift fan systems are observed to have consistently entered the basin at the breached relay location, directed through a significant palaeo‐bathymetric low associated with the lower, abandoned ramp of the structure. More minor systems also entered the basin across the structure‐bounding fault to the north. Reactivation of basin‐bounding faults is shown by the introduction of new point sources along its extent. This study shows the prolonged influence of margin‐located relay ramps on sedimentary systems from syn‐rift, transitional and into the early post‐rift phase. It suggests that these structures can become reactivated during post‐rift times, providing continued control on deposition and sourcing of overlying sedimentary systems. Importantly, breached relays exert control on fan distribution, characterised by laterally extensive lobes sourced by widespread feeder systems, and hanging walls settings by small‐scale lobes, with small, often line‐sourced feeders. Further characterising the likely sandstone distribution in these structurally complex settings is important as these systems often form attractive hydrocarbon reservoirs.

AbstractIntroductionAbout 20%–35% of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients fail to respond to high‐dose corticosteroids during a relapse. Repository corticotropin injection (RCI, Acthar® Gel) is a naturally sourced complex mixture of adrenocorticotropic hormone analogs and pituitary peptides that has anti‐inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects.AimsThe study objective was to determine the efficacy and safety of RCI in patients with MS relapse that inadequately responded to corticosteroids. This was a multicenter, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled study. Nonresponders to high‐dose corticosteroids were randomized to receive RCI (80 U) or placebo daily for 14 days. Assessments included improvements on the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), Multiple Sclerosis Impact Scale (MSIS‐29), Clinical Global Impression of Improvement (CGI‐I), and adverse events (AEs).ResultsEighteen patients received RCI, and 17 received placebo. A greater proportion of EDSS responders was observed in the RCI group at Day 7, 21, and 42 compared with the placebo group. Qualitative CGI‐I showed that more patients receiving RCI were much improved or very much improved than with placebo. No meaningful differences were observed between treatment groups for MSIS‐29. No serious AEs or deaths were reported.ConclusionRCI is safe and effective for MS relapse patients who do not respond to high‐dose corticosteroids.

AbstractThe current study elaborates on the capabilities of ultrasonic waves in improving the conventional method for analysis of banned aromatic amines in dyed textile samples. Wool, linen and cotton were dyed according to their relative affinity with a selected benzidine‐based dye, CI Direct Red 28. The standard procedure, BS EN 14362‐1:2012, was used for testing dyed textile samples, with final estimation through gas chromatography‐mass spectrometry. The dyed samples, after reduction, released a significant quantity of benzidine (listed banned amine), hence were chosen for experiments with ultrasound‐assisted reduction (UAR). To explore the influence of ultrasound energy on the reduction of bis azo dye, the standard procedure for analysis of banned aromatic amines in textiles was modified incorporating minor changes. The reduction step in the altered methods was performed with ultrasonic aid in less time, while the rest of the method remained unmodified. The altered procedure was designated as “method 2”. Samples were quantified with gas chromatography‐mass spectrometry. The extent of the reduction was correlated with wetting characteristics of textile materials. The results from the standard test procedure were used for comparison with those obtained from UAR trials. The UAR method in the case of wool, assessed in terms of greenness, provided noticeable time and energy savings. A comparative account of the chosen matrices with respect to dye reduction is also presented.

AbstractAimTo investigate the efficacy and safety of a non‐calorie–restricted low‐carbohydrate diet (LCD) on glycaemic control, body composition, and cardiovascular risk factors in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) instructed to maintain their non‐insulin antidiabetic medication and physical activity.Materials and MethodsIn an open‐label randomized controlled trial, patients with T2D were randomized 2:1 to either a LCD with a maximum of 20 E% (percentage of total energy intake) from carbohydrates (n = 49) or a control diet with 50‐60 E% from carbohydrates (n = 22) for 6 months. Examinations at enrolment and after 3 and 6 months included blood sample analyses, anthropometrics, blood pressure, accelerometer‐based assessment of physical activity, and food diaries. Total fat mass and lean mass were determined by dual‐energy x‐ray absorptiometry scan. The mean difference in change between groups from baseline are reported.ResultsThe LCD group decreased carbohydrate intake to 13.4 E% and increased fat intake to 63.2 E%, which was −30.5 ± 2.2 E% lower for carbohydrates and 30.6 ± 2.2 E% higher for fat, respectively, compared with the control group (all P < .001). The LCD reduced HbA1c after 3 months (−8.9 ± 1.7 mmol/mol; P < .0001), and this was maintained after 6 months (−7.5 ± 1.8 mmol/mol; P < .0001) compared with the control diet. The LCD also reduced weight (−3.9 ± 1.0 kg), body mass index (−1.4 ± 0.4 kg/m2), and waist circumference (−4.9 ± 1.3 cm) compared with the control diet (all P < .01), accompanied by reductions in total fat mass (−2.2 ± 1.0 kg; P = .027) and lean mass (−1.3 ± 0.6 kg; P = .017). No changes in blood lipids or blood pressure were seen after 6 months. The level of physical activity was maintained, and there were no episodes of severe hypoglycaemia.ConclusionA non‐calorie–restricted LCD high in fat has significant beneficial effects on glycaemic control and body composition, and does not adversely affect cardiovascular risk factors in patients with T2D. Reducing carbohydrate intake to 10‐25 E% appears to be an effective and safe nutritional approach with respect to classical cardiovascular risk factors and hypoglycaemia.
