Published: September 2022

PurposeReverse logistics (RL) has become integral in modern supply chains, with many companies investing in circular economy (CE), a recuperative and effective industrial economy. The traditional linear model triggered many negative environmental consequences such as climate change, ocean pollution, loss of biodiversity and land degradation. The development of RL strategies that support the transition between RL to CE is crucial. The purpose of this paper is to connect RL with CE in the context of Industry 4.0 and develop a hierarchal structure to explore the relationship between RL and CE critical success factors in the context of Industry 4.0.Design/methodology/approachThis study used both qualitative and quantitative approach. Literature review in collaboration with the Delphi method is used to identify and validate critical success factors. Then, the ISM-based model and MICMAC method were used to determine the relationship between CE and RL success factors and its driving and dependence power.FindingsThis study result shows that waste reduction, skilled employees and expert's involvement and top management commitment and support will provide guidelines and paths for implementing CE and RL, leading to the competitiveness of a firm.Practical implicationsThe findings provide managerial insight, particularly useful to third-party logistics companies' managers who are looking to implement RL and CE, to help prioritize where to invest company resources to generate prime difference. Furthermore, this study also identified Industry 4.0 technologies, which would tackle top identified critical success factors within the hierarchical model such as block chain and digital platforms.Originality/valueThis paper contributes to the literature by exploring the connection between RL and CE in the context of Industry 4.0 that determines the critical success factors enabling sustainable inter-firm collaboration.

Published: September 2022

AbstractBillions of years ago, the Earth's waters were dominated by cyanobacteria. These microbes amassed to such formidable numbers, they ushered in a new era—starting with the Great Oxidation Event—fuelled by oxygenic photosynthesis. Throughout the following eon, cyanobacteria ceded portions of their global aerobic power to new photoautotrophs with the rise of eukaryotes (i.e. algae and higher plants), which co‐existed with cyanobacteria in aquatic ecosystems. Yet while cyanobacteria's ecological success story is one of the most notorious within our planet's biogeochemical history, scientists to this day still seek to unlock the secrets of their triumph. Now, the Anthropocene has ushered in a new era fuelled by excessive nutrient inputs and greenhouse gas emissions, which are again reshaping the Earth's biomes. In response, we are experiencing an increase in global cyanobacterial bloom distribution, duration, and frequency, leading to unbalanced, and in many instances degraded, ecosystems. A critical component of the cyanobacterial resurgence is the freshwater‐marine continuum: which serves to transport blooms, and the toxins they produce, on the premise that “water flows downhill”. Here, we identify drivers contributing to the cyanobacterial comeback and discuss future implications in the context of environmental and human health along the aquatic continuum. This Minireview addresses the overlooked problem of the freshwater to marine continuum and the effects of nutrients and toxic cyanobacterial blooms moving along these waters. Marine and freshwater research have historically been conducted in isolation and independently of one another. Yet, this approach fails to account for the interchangeable transit of nutrients and biology through and between these freshwater and marine systems, a phenomenon that is becoming a major problem around the globe. This Minireview highlights what we know and the challenges that lie ahead.

AbstractAimsTo identify subgroups of people with internet gaming disorder (IGD) based on addiction‐related resting‐state functional connectivity and how these subgroups show different clinical correlates and responses to treatment.DesignSecondary analysis of two functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data sets.SettingZhejiang province and Beijing, China.ParticipantsOne hundred and sixty‐nine IGD and 147 control subjects.Measurementsk‐Means algorithmic and support‐vector machine‐learning approaches were used to identify subgroups of IGD subjects. These groups were examined with respect to assessments of craving, behavioral activation and inhibition, emotional regulation, cue–reactivity and guessing‐related measures.FindingsTwo groups of subjects with IGD were identified and defined by distinct patterns of connectivity in brain networks previously implicated in addictions: subgroup 1 (‘craving‐related subgroup’) and subgroup 2 (‘mixed psychological subgroup’). Clustering IGD on this basis enabled the development of diagnostic classifiers with high sensitivity and specificity for IGD subgroups in 10‐fold validation (n = 218) and out‐of‐sample replication (n = 98) data sets. Subgroup 1 is characterized by high craving scores, cue–reactivity during fMRI and responsiveness to a craving behavioral intervention therapy. Subgroup 2 is characterized by high craving, behavioral inhibition and activations scores, non‐adaptive emotion‐regulation strategies and guessing‐task fMRI measures. Subgroups 1 and 2 showed largely opposite functional–connectivity patterns in overlapping networks.ConclusionsThere appear to be two subgroups of people with internet gaming disorder, each associated with differing patterns of brain functional connectivity and distinct clinical symptom profiles and gender compositions.
Frailty and emergency surgery: identification and evidence‐based care for vulnerable older adults
Authors: Gottesman D. , McIsaac D. I. 
Published: September 2022

SummaryFrailty is a multidimensional state related to accumulation of age‐ and disease‐related deficits across multiple domains. Older people represent the fastest growing segment of the peri‐operative population, and 25–50% of older surgical patients live with frailty. When frailty is present before surgery, adjusted rates of morbidity and mortality increase at least two‐fold; the odds of delirium and loss of independence are increased more than four‐ and five‐fold, respectively. Care of the older person with frailty presenting for emergency surgery requires individualised and evidence‐based care given the high‐risk and complex nature of their presentations. Before surgery, frailty should be assessed using a multidimensional frailty instrument (most likely the Clinical Frailty Scale), and all members of the peri‐operative team should be aware of each patient's frailty status. When frailty is present, pre‐operative care should focus on documenting and communicating individualised risk, considering advanced care directives and engaging shared decision‐making when feasible. Shared multidisciplinary care should be initiated. Peri‐operatively, analgesia that avoids polypharmacy should be provided, along with delirium prevention strategies and consideration of postoperative care in a monitored environment. After the acute surgical episode, transition out of hospital requires that adequate support be in place, along with clear discharge instructions, and review of new and existing prescription medications. Advanced care directives should be reviewed or initiated in case of readmission. Overall, substantial knowledge gaps about the optimal peri‐operative care of older people with frailty must be addressed through robust, patient‐oriented research.
Religion, spirituality, and well‐being: A systematic literature review and futuristic agenda

Published: September 2022

AbstractInformed by religion and psychology literature, this study reviews the literature on religiosity, spirituality, and psychology to support existing theory development in the current emergence of “Management, Spirituality, and Religion” field of study, encourage new contextual thinking and develop a framework to guide businesses on the integration of spirituality and religiosity at work given their documented benefits in relation to personal well‐being and productivity. Using the Web of Science (WoS) database, the paper reviews and synthesizes recent research in a systematic, transparent, and reproducible manner. In addition, to verify and include the state‐of‐the‐art of high‐quality scientific articles, we refer to the Chartered Association of Business Schools list leading to the adoption of the following criteria: (a) journals listed in the ABS ranking as 3‐ and 4‐star class, (b) indexed under the field of ethics (i.e., ETHICS‐CSR‐MAN), (c) articles published between 2000 and 2021, and (d) topical relevance. The review extends the existing literature by developing a framework for organizations that helps in identifying possible linkages between religiosity, spirituality, and employee well‐being. This was done by (1) extending the six indicators of Ryff's well‐being framework, (2) highlighting potential spiritual practices for individuals and organizations and their implications, and (3) presenting a framework that is contextualized to the extent possible and that can serve as a useful guide for organizations. Insights from our review yield in turn two key propositions: (1) workplace spirituality and individual spirituality are both important for employees' well‐being, and (2) individual religiosity is an important factor for personal well‐being. This offers in turn reinvigorated awareness and new insights into the topic under study. The study highlights in closing an array of future possible research directions.
Forgotten forbs: Standard vegetation surveys underrepresent ecologically and culturally important forbs in a threatened grassland ecosystem

Published: September 2022

AbstractForbs are a culturally and ecologically important yet poorly studied component of the Pacific Northwest Bunchgrass (PNB) ecosystem of western North America. Because many PNB forbs emerge early in the spring and senesce at the onset of summer, typical vegetation surveys, which occur mid‐summer, likely underrepresent forbs. We evaluated how the timing of vegetation sampling affected estimates of perennial forb abundance, richness, and floral density, with a focus on species that are culturally significant to Indigenous people of the region. We sampled 29 plots three times: mid‐summer (July), as well as 7 (May) and 12 (April) weeks prior. Timing had large effects on estimates, with significant declines in forb richness (42%), cover (80%), and floral density (95%) between April and July. The density of Camassia quamash and Lomatium cous, two culturally important species, declined 91% and 96%, respectively, from April to July. Nearly 65% of forbs had documented uses by Plateau Tribes. The consequences of biased estimates are significant and (1) limit our understanding of fundamental ecological processes and interactions; (2) hinder effective conservation and management because we lack information on forb abundance, status, and trends, and (3) result in disproportionately negative impacts to Indigenous communities as many forbs are important for subsistence and ceremonial purposes. Vegetation sampling during the spring months coincident with peak forb abundance, in addition to summer sampling would provide more appropriate data with which to evaluate and characterize PNB vegetation dynamics and improve our understanding, management, and conservation of native forbs.
Auctions versus bookbuilding: The effects of IPO regulation in Japan
Authors: Lehmann Timo , Weber Matthias 
Published: September 2022

AbstractWe analyze a regulatory change in the Japanese IPO market that created an abrupt shift from hybrid price‐discriminatory auctions to bookbuilding. We find that bookbuilding leads to higher underpricing than hybrid price‐discriminatory auctions. Furthermore, we find evidence that price accuracy tends to be higher for auctions than for bookbuilding. The results hold under a variety of OLS specifications and with regression discontinuity designs exploiting the abrupt change of the regulation.

Published: September 2022

AbstractNature‐based climate solutions are a vital component of many climate mitigation strategies, including California's, which aims to achieve carbon neutrality by 2045. Most carbon offsets in California's cap‐and‐trade program come from improved forest management (IFM) projects. Since 2012, various landowners have set up IFM projects following the California Air Resources Board's IFM protocol. As many of these projects approach their 10th year, we now have the opportunity to assess their effectiveness, identify best practices, and suggest improvements toward future protocol revisions. In this study, we used remote sensing‐based datasets to evaluate the carbon trends and harvest histories of 37 IFM projects in California. Despite some current limitations and biases, these datasets can be used to quantify carbon accumulation and harvest rates in offset project lands relative to nearby similar “control” lands before and after the projects began. Five lines of evidence suggest that the carbon accumulated in offset projects to date has generally not been additional to what might have otherwise occurred: (1) most forests in northwestern California have been accumulating carbon since at least the mid‐1980s and continue to accumulate carbon, whether enrolled in offset projects or not; (2) harvest rates were high in large timber company project lands before IFM initiation, suggesting they are earning carbon credits for forests in recovery; (3) projects are often located on lands with higher densities of low‐timber‐value species; (4) carbon accumulation rates have not yet increased on lands that enroll as offset projects, relative to their pre‐enrollment levels; and (5) harvest rates have not decreased on most project lands since offset project initiation. These patterns suggest that the current protocol should be improved to robustly measure and reward additionality. In general, our framework of geospatial analyses offers an important and independent means to evaluate the effectiveness of the carbon offsets program, especially as these data products continue improving and as offsets receive attention as a climate mitigation strategy.

PurposeTo determine the efficacy and safety of trajectory infiltration with 1:150 000 Norepinephrine (NE) in reducing blood loss during percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL).Materials and methodsThis is a prospective randomized double‐blinded placebo‐controlled trial. In all, 140 consecutive patients underwent PCNL for the management of large renal calculi. They were randomly assigned (1:1) to one of either study groups, the NE‐PCNL group (70 patients whose PCNL‐trajectory was infiltrated by NE) or the Placebo group (saline PCNL) (70 patients whose PCNL tracts were infiltrated by normal saline). Procedure‐related blood loss (the primary outcome) was assessed and statistically analyzed. Also, all other procedure‐related events and complications were recorded and compared.ResultsThe median blood loss was 378 ml (IQR: 252–504) in the NE‐PCNL group versus 592 ml (IQR: 378–756) in the S‐PCNL group (p < 0.0001). In addition, Hemoglobin and Hematocrit deficits were lower in NE‐PCNL (p < 0.05). Patients who were randomized to the NE‐PCNL group had a higher immediate stone‐free rate (SFR) (80%) compared with those of the S‐PCNL group (70%) (p = 0.034). However, no statistical differences were found in the final SFR. The reported overall complications between the 2 groups were similar (p > 0.05). Indeed, bleeding‐related complications were 1 (1.4%) versus 10 (14.3%) for NE‐PCNL and S‐PCNL, respectively (p = 0.009).ConclusionsTrajectory infiltration of PCNL tracts by NE was found to be effective and safe in mitigation of PCNL‐related blood loss. This step is a timeless and cost‐effective as NE is readily available in surgical theaters and of very low cost.

Published: September 2022

AbstractBackgroundAdvanced practice nursing (APN) roles offer improved access to care and increased quality and more timely care. Despite the advantages of APN roles, there is a disparity between European countries when it comes to implementing APN roles.AimTo explore the implementation of APN roles in a range of European countries and to explore what factors facilitate or hinder the implementation of these roles.MethodsA case study evaluation of the process of implementing APN roles. The sample included four countries where APN roles were well developed (Ireland, Spain, Norway and the United Kingdom) and four where APN roles were implemented (Estonia, Slovenia, Cyprus and Romania). Interviews were conducted with key informants (n = 28) from government departments, regulatory bodies, nursing associations and universities. The consolidated criteria for reporting qualitative research (CPREQ) has been used throughout.LimitationsThe small number of countries when considering the size of the region and key informants representing the view of only three to four people in each country.ResultsFour themes were identified, including the rationale for the development of the roles, influence, the evolutionary nature of role development and evidence. The data also revealed a mismatch between the perceptions of how the roles develop among the different countries in the early stages of implementation.ConclusionSuccessful role implementation is dependent upon a tripartite approach between managers, practitioners and educators. An evolutionary approach to role development was used. Regulation and policy come later on in the process of implementation.Implications for nursing policyAPN policy should be based on patient needs rather than on the workforce or professional imperatives. The process of implementation can take 15–20 years in total. Recognising the importance of the relationships between service managers and educators is key to the early development of these roles.
Mango enriched with sucrose and isomaltulose (Palatinose®) by osmotic dehydration: Effect of temperature and solute concentration through the application of multilevel statistical models

Published: September 2022

AbstractOsmotic dehydration (OD) is useful for the enrichment of mangos with interesting solutes. Isomaltulose has healthier properties than sucrose and its use is still scarce in OD processes. The OD of mangos with isomaltulose and sucrose was evaluated, and the effect of solute concentrations (25%, 30%, 35%) and temperatures (25, 35, 45°C) was estimated by multilevel statistical analysis in order to find the best conditions for a greater water loss (WL) and solid gain (SG). In sucrose OD, the highest concentration (35%) had the greatest effect than the temperature for WL and SG. For isomaltulose OD, the concentration provided greater WL and SG, but the effect of temperature was slightly more expressive for SG than WL. The maximum working conditions (35% of isomaltulose or sucrose and 45°C) promoted greater WL and SG for both carbohydrates, and with the OD it was possible to enrich mango with isomaltulose by taking advantage of the osmotic gradient, getting an osmodehydrated product with low glycemic and isulinemic indexes.Novelty impact statementThrough the osmotic dehydration, it is possible to enrich mango samples with isomaltulose due to its healthy attributes. Instead, a traditional statistical analysis, the multilevel statistical modeling was applied, which was suitable for evidence that the highest solute concentration and temperature conditions promoted the greatest water loss and solid gain, favoring the enrichment process.

AbstractThere is strong evidence that the consumption of fried foods is associated with an increased risk of cancer and cardiovascular diseases. In the current study, the effects of different process variables including Aloe vera gel concentration (5–25% w/w), frying temperature (150–190°C), and frying time (1–5 min) were investigated and optimized using response surface methodology with Box–Behnken design to introduce a new low‐fat deep‐fried zucchini slices. The optimum conditions based on maximum moisture content and hardness, minimum oil content, and total color difference (ΔE) were found to be 13.55% w/w gel concentration, 150°C frying temperature, and 1.50 min frying time. Compared to the uncoated samples, a reduction of 32.70% in oil content and 10.42% in hardness was observed for coated samples produced under optimum conditions. Moreover, moisture content and ΔE of coated samples were increased by 9.41% and 3.64%, respectively. Sensorial evaluation revealed that the deep‐fried coated zucchini slices prepared under optimum conditions had higher overall acceptability compared with uncoated samples. It can be concluded that A. vera gel coating is a promising approach to developing new product low‐fat deep‐fried zucchini slices.Novelty impact statementA. vera gel coating can be used to produce low‐fat deep‐fried zucchini slices. It is expected that the optimized conditions highlighted in this work (13.55% w/w gel concentration, 150°C frying temperature, and 1.50 min frying time) will be useful in obtaining low‐fat deep‐fried zucchini slices of acceptable quality attributes.
