Real-time vehicle detection for traffic monitoring by applying a deep learning algorithm over images acquired from satellite and drone
Authors: Vohra D.S. , Garg Pradeep Kumar , Ghosh Sanjay 
Published: September 2022

PurposeThe purpose is to design a system in which drones can control traffic most effectively using a deep learning algorithm.Design/methodology/approachDrones have now started entry into each facet of life. The entry of drones has made them a subject of great relevance in the present technological era. The span of drones is, however, very broad due to various kinds of usages leading to different types of drones. Out of the many usages, one usage which is presently being widely researched is traffic monitoring as traffic monitoring can hover over a particular area. This paper specifically brings out the basic algorithm You Look Only Once (YOLO) which may be used for identifying the vehicles. Consequently, using deep learning YOLO algorithm, identification of vehicles will, therefore, help in easy regulation of traffic in streetlights, avoiding accidents, finding out the culprit drivers due to which traffic jam would have taken place and recognition of a pattern of traffic at various timings of the day, thereby announcing the same through radio (namely, Frequency Modulation (FM)) channels, so that people can take the route which is the least jammed.FindingsThe study found that the object(s) detected by the deep learning algorithm is almost the same as if seen from a naked eye from the top view. This led to the conclusion that the drones may be used for traffic monitoring, in the days to come, which was not the case earlier.Originality/valueThe main research content and key algorithm have been introduced. The research is original. None of the parts of this research paper has been published anywhere.
Green banking adoption practices: improving environmental, financial, and operational performance
Authors: Aslam Wajeeha , Jawaid Syed Tehseen 
Published: September 2022

Purpose
The increased concerns for the environment have led organizations, businesses and nations to act environmentally friendly. This has also pressurized the banking sector to adopt green practices. However, there is a dearth of studies related to green banking (G-banking) adoption practices (GBAP) on banking performance. Hence, by considering the resource-based view theory, this study aims to examine the impact of GBAP on banking performance, i.e. financial, operational and environmental performance.

Design/methodology/approach
The data was acquired from banking personnel in Pakistan using a five-point Likert scale questionnaire and a non-probability purposive selection technique. In total, 400 responses were gathered, on which data screening was performed to detect and delete outliers. On a useful sample of 360, partial least square-structural equation modeling was used to validate the hypotheses.

Findings
The findings revealed that GBAP positively affects the environmental, operational and financial performance of the banks. The findings further revealed that GBAP largely affects environmental performance followed by operational performance and financial performance, respectively.

Practical implications
The study findings offer various insights to the policymakers and the banking sector to better implement G-banking practices in improving banking performance.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is one of the first studies to look at the effect of GBAP on key performance outcomes, i.e. financial and operational performance. This study also verifies the use of resource-based perspective theory in the context of G-banking.
Young retail shift workers (not) planning their future: working with customers in the 24/7 service society in the transition to adulthood
Authors: Dordoni Annalisa 
Published: September 2022

PurposeThe retail sector is not largely studied in Italy. The study offers a comparison between youth retail shift work in Milan and London. The aim of this paper is to contribute to the debate on the one hand on youth work and on the other hand to the debate on agency and structural factors in life planning, representation of the future and the transition to adulthood, observed in the United Kingdom's and Italian labour market. Even if the second one is a Southern European Country, these contexts are both characterised by a service-oriented economy and the widespread of precarious and flexible jobs.Design/methodology/approachQualitative methods were used: one year of ethnographic observation, 50 interviews and two focus groups were carried out between 2015 and 2018 with retail workers and trade unionists. The contexts are Corso Buenos Aires in Milan, Italy, and Oxford Street in London, United Kingdom. Analysing young workers' discourses, the author identifies narratives that allow to grasp their present agency and imagined future.FindingsObserving the crisis of the narrative (Sennett, 2020) allows to highlight the social consequences of working times on young workers' everyday life and future. The author argues that young workers struggle with the narrative of their present everyday life and the representation of the future. This relates to the condition of time alienation due to the flexible schedules and the fast pace of work in retail, both affecting the work-life balance.Originality/valueThe social consequences of flexible schedules in retail and fast fashion sector, which are new issues not yet sufficiently explored, are here investigated from the perspective of young workers. The study is focussed on the representations of young people working with customers in social and economic contexts characterised by flexible schedules and the deregulation of shop openings, the so-called 24/7 service society, not largely investigated in the sociological scientific literature, above all in the Italian context.
Corporate governance and financing risk in Islamic banks in Indonesia
Authors: Mutamimah Mutamimah , Saputri Pungky Lela 
Published: September 2022

Purpose
This study aims to analyse the role of corporate governance in moderating the effects of murabahah, mudharabah and musyarakah financing on the financing risk and financial performance of Islamic banks.

Design/methodology/approach
The population for this study covered Islamic banks in Indonesia. Purposive sampling was performed, and statistical analysis was conducted using moderating regression analysis by selecting among the common, fixed and random effects models.

Findings
The results showed that murabahah financing has a positive effect on financing risk; conversely, mudharabah financing has a negative effect on financing risk. By contrast, musyarakah financing has no effect on financing risk. However, corporate governance weakens the influence of murabahah financing on financing risk and increases that of mudharabah financing on financing risk. Further, corporate governance cannot weaken the effect of musyarakah financing on financing risk. Additionally, financing risk reduces financial performance.

Research limitations/implications
This research focusses only on Indonesian Islamic banks; future research should be extended to Islamic insurance and Islamic micro finance.

Practical implications
The results serve as input for government regulations on corporate governance in Islamic bank financing and encourage Islamic banks to diversify their financing proportionally.

Social implications
This research can be used for optimising Islamic bank financing to empower the realty sector and reduce poverty.

Originality/value
Research on the role of corporate governance as a moderating variable in reducing financing risk in Islamic banks remains limited.
Workplace engagement interventions: empirically based alternatives for manager consideration
Authors: Lyons Paul 
Published: September 2022

Purpose
The primary purpose of this paper is to identify for practitioners and readers of this journal several interventions represented in empirical research that have shown promise with regard to the stimulation and/or reinforcement of employee work engagement. The aim is to identify a range of interventions that managers, supervisors or coaches may consider for a given setting as they go about enabling employee learning and performance improvement.

Design/methodology/approach
Examination of the research literature on work engagement provided initial guidance for study of interventions that link to enhancement and/or reinforcement of employee work engagement. Information was found that aids in developing an understanding of the dynamics of work engagement as well as identifying a variety of interventions successfully applied in many organizations in several countries. The fundamental approach used in the study is a scoping review. Overall, the paper is generally discursive and details are offered based on review of empirical study and meta-analyses.

Findings
Findings are represented by a detailed explanation of the construct of work engagement, its theoretical grounding and its relationship with performance and achievement. A summary of interventions identified across many empirical studies provides guidance for managers and leaders, primarily, and organizations with regard to interventions to aid with employee learning, growth and performance improvement.

Research limitations/implications
Research implications deal mainly with issues linked to the concept of work engagement and the primary tool used for its measurement.

Practical implications
Substantial information is presented to give a manager, coach or supervisor a detailed view of the construct of work engagement and how one may influence employee growth with regard to the concept. Several interventions are identified, all of which have been shown to be effective. The manager can examine these interventions and make choices about how to influence the employees in her/his unit.

Originality/value
While hundreds of studies of work engagement have identified and highlighted a variety of interventions used to stimulate or reinforce work engagement with employees, there have been few efforts made to provide practitioners/managers with an array of interventions that have been shown, repeatedly, to be effective. The present study provides such an array.
Organizational misbehaviors: construct review and hierarchical reflective model
Authors: Dadaboyev Sherzodbek Murodilla Ugli , Baek Yoonjung 
Published: September 2022

PurposeOrganizational misbehavior (OMB) is a complex phenomenon for researchers and a major issue facing practitioners because of both its copious negative individual and organizational outcomes and its complexity. Researchers and practitioners are increasingly becoming aware of different types of work-related misbehaviors and their significant and costly consequences for both employees and organizations. OMB can take many forms, and a plethora of terms have been introduced to describe those OMBs. This article aims to review the constructs describing workplace misbehaviors in current organizational behavior literature.Design/methodology/approachThe authors used a qualitative systematic review to organize OMB-related constructs.FindingsThis paper provides a review of workplace misbehavior constructs and a broader, more organized picture of OMB by developing a hierarchical reflective model. It highlights some challenges that the OMB literature needs to overcome.Originality/valueUnlike previous review articles that primarily focused on workplace misbehaviors intended to cause harm or damage, this review includes misbehaviors intended to both damage and benefit.
Fibroblast growth factor 10 ameliorates renal ischaemia–reperfusion injury by attenuating mitochondrial damage

Published: September 2022

AbstractIschaemia–reperfusion (I/R) injury is one of the leading causes of acute kidney injury (AKI). Its pathologic mechanism is quite complex, involving oxidative stress, inflammatory response, autophagy, and apoptosis. Fibroblast growth factor 10 (FGF10) and 5‐hydroxydecanoate (5‐HD) play essential roles in kidney injury. Rats were divided into four groups: (i) sham group, sham‐operated animals with an unconstructed renal artery; (ii) I/R group, kidneys were subjected to 50 min of ischaemia followed by reperfusion for 2 days; (iii) I/R + FGF10 group, animals treated with 0.5 mg/kg FGF10 (i.p.) 1 h before ischaemia; and (iv) 5‐HD group, animals treated with 5 mg/kg 5‐HD (i.m.) 30 min before FGF10 treatment. Renal injury, apoptosis damage, mitochondrial oxidative damage, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), and expression of the ATP‐sensitive K+ (KATP) channel subunit Kir6.2 were evaluated. FGF10 treatment significantly alleviated I/R‐induced elevation in the serum creatinine level and the number of terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase‐mediated dUTP nick‐end labelling–positive tubular cells in the kidney. In addition, FGF10 dramatically ameliorated renal mitochondrial‐related damage, including reducing mitochondrial‐dependent apoptosis, alleviating oxidative stress, maintaining the mitochondrial membrane potential, and opening the mitochondrial KATP channels. The protective effect of FGF10 was significantly compromised by the ATP‐dependent potassium channel blocker 5‐HD. Our data suggest that FGF10 offers effective protection against I/R and improves animal survival by attenuating mitochondrial damage.

AbstractObjectiveTo investigate the Australian general public's perception of appropriate medical scenarios that warrants a call to an emergency ambulance.MethodsAn online survey asked participants to identify the likely medical treatment pathway they would take for 17 hypothetical medical scenarios. The number and type of non‐emergency scenarios (n = 8) participants incorrectly suggested were appropriate to place a call for an emergency ambulance were calculated. Participants included Australian residents (aged >18 years) who had never worked as an Australian registered medical doctor, nurse or paramedic.ResultsFrom a sample of 5264 participants, 40% suggested calling an emergency ambulance for a woman in routine labour was appropriate. Other medical scenarios which were most suggested by participants to warrant an emergency ambulance call was ‘Lego in ear canal’ (11%), ‘Older person bruising’ (8%) and ‘Flu’ (7%). Women, people aged 56+ years, those without a university qualification, with lower household income and with lower emotional wellbeing were more likely to suggest calling an emergency ambulance was appropriate for non‐emergency scenarios.ConclusionsAlthough emergency healthcare system (EHS) capacity not increasing at the same rate as demand is the biggest contributor to EHS burden, non‐urgent medical situations for which other low‐acuity healthcare pathways may be appropriate does play a small role in adding to the overburdening of the EHS. This present study outlines a series of complaints and demographic characteristics that would benefit from targeted educational interventions that may aid in alleviating ambulance service attendances to low‐acuity callouts.

AbstractSustained elevation in neutrophil‐to‐lymphocyte ratio (NLR) after initial chemoradiotherapy (CRT) has been shown to correlate with worse prognosis in a number of solid organ malignancies. Here, we conducted a retrospective observational cohort study involving six sites across Sydney, Australia, including all patients with unresectable stage III NSCLC treated with CRT and consolidation durvalumab between January 2018 and September 2021. Patients had NLR collected prior to CRT and prior to cycle one of durvalumab. We used an NLR value of 3 to stratify patients into high and low groups. Patients with sustained NLR were defined as those with values ≥3 at both timepoints. A total of 145 patients were included in the study. The median age of patients was 66 years with median follow‐up of 15.1 months. The median PFS was 17.6 months in the pre‐CRT NLR high cohort and not reached (NR) in the pre‐CRT NLR low cohort (HR 1.99; p = 0.01). The median OS was 35.5 months in the high pre‐CRT NLR cohort compared with 42.0 months in the low pre‐CRT NLR cohort (HR 2.62; 95% CI: 1.23–5.56, p < 0.01). Median PFS for sustained NLR elevation was 17.1 months versus NR (HR 1.5; p < 0.01). Pre‐CRT NLR and sustained NLR remained independently prognostic for PFS on multivariate analysis (p = 0.04, p = 0.01) respectively. Pre‐CRT NLR and sustained NLR is associated with worse PFS outcomes in unresectable stage III NSCLC treated with CRT and durvalumab. Pre‐CRT NLR is also associated with worse OS.

Published: September 2022

AbstractBackgroundE‐learning is increasingly used in postgraduate medical education. Its numerous benefits include an enhanced learning experience through learning style individualisation, interactive elements, and assessment through tests and quizzes. Current meta‐analyses conclude that the overall effectiveness of e‐learning is comparable to traditional teaching modalities. However, studies demonstrating its benefits are heterogeneous and of varying quality. This randomised controlled trial aims to investigate whether contemporary e‐learning completed prior to a course in obstetric anaesthesia prepares the course participants better than self‐study of written course material.MethodsA randomised controlled trial allocated second‐year resident anaesthetists to receive either e‐learning in postpartum haemorrhage and written course material in preeclampsia or e‐learning in preeclampsia and written course material in postpartum haemorrhage, prior to a compulsory course in obstetric anaesthesia. The primary outcome was knowledge after completion of e‐learning before the course, assessed by type X multiple‐choice questions with a score ranging from zero to 35.The secondary outcomes were anxiety level before course simulations, performance during course simulations, and knowledge four and 12 weeks after the course.ResultsThe per protocol analysis of the primary outcome included 45 participants and demonstrated a mean difference of 1.8 (95% CI 0.7–2.9; p = .002) in knowledge after completion of e‐learning before the course, in favour of e‐learning compared to written course material. There were no statistically significant differences in the secondary outcomes.ConclusionThis blinded parallel group randomised controlled trial found a numerically small but statistically significant difference in knowledge favouring e‐learning over written course material.

AbstractBackgroundOxygen supply to the brain is of special importance during intracranial surgery because it may be compromised by intracranial pathology. A high arterial blood pressure (mean arterial pressure above 80 mmHg) and a high arterial oxygen tension (PaO2 above 12 kPa) is therefore often targeted in these patients, when for example intracranial pressure is increased or when a mass effect on brain tissue from a tumour is present, and it is pursued by administering vasopressors such as phenylephrine and by increasing inspiratory oxygen fraction (FiO2). However, whether these interventions increase cerebral oxygenation remains uncertain. We aimed to investigate the effect of hyperoxia and phenylephrine on brain tissue oxygen tension (PbtO2) in patients undergoing craniotomy.MethodsIn this experimental study, we included 17 adult patients scheduled for elective craniotomy. After securing a stable baseline of the oxygen probe, PbtO2 was measured in white matter peripherally in the surgical field during general anaesthesia. Primary comparisons were PbtO2 before versus after an increase in FiO2 from 0.30 to 0.80 as well as before versus after a bolus dose of phenylephrine (0.1–0.2 mg depending on patient haemodynamics). Data were analysed with the Wilcoxon signed rank test.ResultsWe obtained complete data sets in 11 patients undergoing the FiO2 increase and six patients receiving the phenylephrine bolus. PbtO2 was 22 (median; 5%–95% range, 4.6–54) mmHg during 30% oxygen, 68 (8.4–99) mmHg during 80% oxygen (p = .004 compared to 30% oxygen), 21 (4.5–81) mmHg before phenylephrine, and 19 (4.2–56) mmHg after phenylephrine (p = .56 compared to before phenylephrine).ConclusionIn patients undergoing craniotomy under general anaesthesia, brain tissue oxygen tension increased with a high inspiratory oxygen fraction but remained unchanged after a bolus dose of phenylephrine.

SummaryThe Difficult Airway Society recommends that all patients should be pre‐oxygenated before the induction of general anaesthesia, but this may not always be easy or comfortable and anaesthesia may often be induced without full pre‐oxygenation. We tested the hypothesis that high‐flow nasal oxygen cannulae would be easier and more comfortable than facemasks for pre‐oxygenation. We randomly allocated 199 patients undergoing elective surgery aged ≥ 10 years to pre‐oxygenation using either high‐flow nasal oxygen or facemask. Ease and comfort were assessed by anaesthetists and patients on 10‐cm visual analogue scale and six‐point smiley face scale, respectively. Secondary endpoints included end‐tidal oxygen fraction after securing a definitive airway and time to secure an airway. A mean difference (95%CI) between groups in ratings of ‐0.76 (‐1.25 to ‐0.27) cm for ease of use (p = 0.003) and ‐0.45 (‐0.75 to ‐0.13) points for comfort (p = 0.006), both favoured high‐flow nasal oxygen. A mean difference (95%CI) between groups in end‐tidal oxygen fraction of 3.89% (2.41–5.37%) after securing a definitive airway also favoured high‐flow nasal oxygen (p < 0.001). There was no significant difference between groups in the number of patients with hypoxaemia (SpO2 < 90%) or severe hypoxaemia (SpO2 < 85%) lasting ≥ 1 min or ≥ 2 min; in the proportion of patients with an end‐tidal oxygen fraction < 87% in the first 5 min after tracheal intubation (52.2% vs. 58.9% in facemask and high‐flow nasal oxygen groups, respectively; p = 0.31); or in time taken to secure an airway (11.6 vs. 12.2 min in facemask and high‐flow nasal oxygen groups, respectively; p = 0.65). In conclusion, we found pre‐oxygenation with high‐flow nasal oxygen to be easier for anaesthetists and more comfortable for patients than pre‐oxygenation with a facemask, with no clinically relevant differences in end‐tidal oxygen fraction after securing a definitive airway or time to secure an airway. The differences in ease and comfort were modest.
