Being bound and tied by the ropes of frugality: a case study on public management values and service integration
Authors: Løken Therese Dwyer , Helgesen Marit Kristine , Vike Halvard , Bjørkquist Catharina 
Published: March 2022

PurposeNew Public Management (NPM) has increased fragmentation in municipal health and social care organizations. In response, post-NPM reforms aim to enhance integration through service integration. Integration of municipal services is important for people with complex health and social challenges, such as concurrent substance abuse and mental health problems. This article explores the conditions for service integration in municipal health and social services by studying how public management values influence organizational and financial structures and professional practices.Design/methodology/approachThis is a case study with three Norwegian municipalities as case organizations. The study draws on observations of interprofessional and interagency meetings and in-depth interviews with professionals and managers. The empirical field is municipal services for people with concurrent substance abuse and mental health challenges. The data were analyzed both inductively and deductively.FindingsThe study reveals that opportunities to assess, allocate and deliver integrated services were limited due to organizational and financial structures as the most important aim was to meet the financial goals. The authors also find that economic and frugal values in NPM doctrines impede service integration. Municipalities with integrative values in organizational and financial structures and in professional approaches have greater opportunities to succeed in integrating services.Originality/valueApplying a public management value perspective, this study finds that the values on which organizational and financial structures and professional practices are based are decisive in enabling and constraining service integration.
Management as craft and developing craftership
Authors: Ruth Damian 
Published: March 2022

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to offer an appraisal of the craft metaphor in management with particular reference to authority, resistance, care and the interior landscape of the manager/crafter.Design/method/approachThis is a conceptual essay that draws on an autoethnography.FindingsRespect for the limits of managerial and bureaucratic authority and an appreciation of the manager/crafter's interior landscape are crucial aspects of effective craft and management practice. Insights into the practice of craft may enhance understanding of how both craft and management are a potent brew of politics, power, people, history, reason, faith and authority and just how crucial the interior landscape of the manager/crafter is.Originality/valueThis article offers a focus on an inadequately examined aspect of management/craft – the interior landscape of the manager – that is informed by an auto-ethnography and suggests a case for conceptualizing management as craft, with implications for management development.
Impacts of reporting lines and joint reviews on internal audit effectiveness
Authors: Jung Yusun , Cho Moon-Kyung 
Published: March 2022

Purpose
This paper aims to examine the extent to which two commonly recommended information sharing and communication interventions, direct reporting lines between the internal audit function (IAF) and the audit committee (AC) and their joint reviews of internal audit standards and procedures, improve the internal audit in the continuous audit control and monitoring efforts.

Design/methodology/approach
This study uses data from the Audit Intelligence Suite-Benchmarking (AIS) Report for the years 2007 to 2016 published by the Institute of Internal Auditors. The authors test the research hypotheses using the ordinary least squares regression method.

Findings
Functional reporting lines from the IAF to the AC positively impact the internal audit, but administrative lines have a negative impact. Reviews conducted jointly between the IAF and the AC positively influence the internal audit. The impacts of reporting lines and joint reviews are also associated with accounting complexity within a given industry, organizational control structure, organizational scope and the level of IAF’s responsibilities over internal control environment to comply with Sarbanes–Oxley (SOX) Act of 2002.

Research limitations/implications
Because the study uses AIS data, operationalization of variables is constrained to items in the given data set. Future studies, including field studies, may identify other variables and measures using diverse data sources. This study expands the knowledge of effective means of information sharing and communication to enhance interactions between the IAF and the AC.

Practical implications
The results suggest that the use of reporting lines should correspond to accounting complexity, organizational control structure, organizational scope, and reliance on the IAF in handling SOX responsibilities. They also highlight the importance of joint reviews between the IAF and AC in ensuring a high-quality internal audit.

Originality/value
The authors envisioned reporting lines and joint reviews as an excellent tool to balance the relationship between the IAF and the AC for continuous internal auditing beyond generating internal audit reports according to the US Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission framework Principle 14.
The regulatory environment of real estate professional services firms (PSFs) in Kenya
Authors: K'Akumu O.A. 
Published: March 2022

PurposeThis paper brings up the regulatory environment for valuation and estate agency practices in Kenya. Its main purpose is to assess the regulatory institutions to determine whether consumers of real estate services are protected from risks in the property market and to compare Kenya's situation to other markets in the world.Design/methodology/approachThis is a qualitative study of institutions including bodies and laws that are involved in the regulation of valuation and estate agency practices in Kenya, using document analysis method. The roles of professional body, the Institution of Surveyors of Kenya and the registration bodies, the Valuers Registration Board and the Estate Agency Registration Boards and attendant statutes, the Valuers Act and the Estate Agents Act are reviewed to gain insights into the regulation practice in Kenya. Benchmarking is done using regulatory practices in the United Kingdom and the USA.FindingsConcerning valuation, Kenya uses a hybrid system combining the United Kingdom's self-regulation approach and the USA's state regulation approach. The co-regulation approach is working well for valuation practice in Kenya. On the other hand, the regulatory system for estate agents is weak because of limited powers of enforcement, thereby allowing an unknown number of agents to practise outside the regulatory framework.Originality/valueThe paper is unique in its subject matter as it evaluates the external organization (regulatory) environment of professional services firms (PSFs) in the real estate market. Existing studies have been done mainly by management scholars focussing on the internal organization environment of PSFs in general. Secondly, the study brings up to the international audience the regulatory system and practice in the real estate professional services market. This has not been done for Kenya and perhaps for many other countries. Lastly, it makes a novel recommendation that emphasis should be placed on registration and regulation of PSFs rather than individual practitioners to enhance quality in the provision of services where real estate agency is concerned.

Published: March 2022

PurposeThis study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of the art in powder bed fusion (PBF) techniques for additive manufacturing of multiple materials. It reviews the emerging technologies in PBF multimaterial printing and summarizes the latest simulation approaches for modeling them. The topic of “multimaterial PBF techniques” is still very new, undeveloped, and of interest to academia and industry on many levels.Design/methodology/approachThis is a review paper. The study approach was to carefully search for and investigate notable works and peer-reviewed publications concerning multimaterial three-dimensional printing using PBF techniques. The current methodologies, as well as their advantages and disadvantages, are cross-compared through a systematic review.FindingsThe results show that the development of multimaterial PBF techniques is still in its infancy as many fundamental “research” questions have yet to be addressed before production. Experimentation has many limitations and is costly; therefore, modeling and simulation can be very helpful and is, of course, possible; however, it is heavily dependent on the material data and computational power, so it needs further development in future studies.Originality/valueThis work investigates the multimaterial PBF techniques and discusses the novel printing methods with practical examples. Our literature survey revealed that the number of accounts on the predictive modeling of stresses and optimizing laser scan strategies in multimaterial PBF is low with a (very) limited range of applications. To facilitate future developments in this direction, the key information of the simulation efforts and the state-of-the-art computational models of multimaterial PBF are provided.
Consolidating loads for sustainable construction in New Zealand: a literature review-based research framework

Published: March 2022

PurposeA long-term collaborative public water infrastructure procurement contract in New Zealand adopts “Enterprise Alliance” delivery (strategy) with a Construction Consolidation Centre (CCC) (operational) logistics solution. New Zealand's unique spatial, market, regulatory and economic circumstances present a research gap pertaining to the sustainability impacts of the combinatory implementation. The paper suggests a literature review-based research framework for examining these.Design/methodology/approachSystematic literature review (SLR) discovers unique New Zealand attributes, and sustainability impacts of both the approaches overseas. Towards formulating a research framework, the paper discusses sustainability of construction and its New Zealand context, and research focus within the implemented model. Significant issues from SLR reveal Design, Logistics, Impacts and Spin-offs research domains. The paper suggests a research framework and examines an appropriate research design.FindingsCCC implementation under a programme alliance is without precedent in New Zealand. Variance of New Zealand's unique attributes from North American and European characteristics behind successful implementation are likely to impact domestic outcomes. A research framework to test this hypothesis will enable investigating the relevance of the concepts to New Zealand settings and provide a contextual implementation datum. Implementation benchmarks will potentially influence public policy and enrich indigenous knowledge corpus, potentially transferrable to associated domains (urban planning, transportation and energy).Originality/valueThe paper attempts to define a research direction in the domain of applying supply chain management principles to the New Zealand's construction sector by investigating the employment of a CCC in a collaborative environment as an infrastructure project delivery vehicle with sustainability leanings.
A new squirt coefficient to simulate P‐wave attenuation
Authors: Li Guangquan 
Published: March 2022

ABSTRACTIn double‐permeability models, the squirt coefficient representing the fluid mass equation came from mathematical parameterization that was inconsistent with physics, resulting in the prediction of an infinitely large squirt coefficient at an infinitely high frequency. This was a drawback of the models, as an infinitely large squirt flux rate means unrealistic infinite large velocity and kinematic energy (velocity and energy must be bounded). This paper is motivated by solving the problem. At first, when P‐wave compresses a porous rock, the contact of grains (the normal of which is the wave direction) is very compliant, which generates a strong squirt transverse to the wave direction. In contrast, the squirt along the wave direction is relatively small. Based on such a transverse squirt mechanism, a new squirt coefficient is derived, which yields a vanishing value at infinite high frequency. Secondly, the squirt coefficient is put into a previous model to predict velocity and attenuation of ultrasonic P‐wave. Two core samples (Berea sandstone and Boise sandstone) are used for illustration; both the measured velocity and quality factor are well simulated. It is notable that there is an interesting shoulder on the velocity dispersion curves before the asymptotical behaviour of velocity at high frequency.
Predation‐mediated edge effects reduce survival of wader nests at a wet grassland‐forest edge
Authors: Kaasiku T. , Rannap R. , Männil P. 
Published: March 2022

AbstractEdge effects occur when the matrix has adverse impacts on the patches of remnant habitat. A widely explored example of this is the hypothesis of a higher predation pressure on bird nests closer to the habitat edge. In parallel with the recent loss of open habitats through afforestation as a climate change mitigation measure, an interest in the impact of forest on species dependent on open habitats has re‐emerged. We follow wader nest survival to study the issue of an edge effect in a system of wet grasslands fragmented by forests in a region where it has not been tested before, focussing mainly on northern lapwing (Vanellus vanellus), common ringed plover (Charadrius hiaticula), common redshank (Tringa totanus) and southern dunlin (Calidris alpina schinzii). To record nest survival, we monitored 753 nests of 10 wader species on coastal grasslands in Estonia for 3 consecutive years. A subset (n = 85) of these nests was equipped with camera traps to record nest predation events and predator association with forest edge. The distance to nearest trees and forest and a forest cover within a 1‐km buffer around each nest was measured. We recorded extremely low daily nest survival rates (0.903–0.922 for different species), with most nests lost to predation. We showed that nest survival is lower closer to the forest edge and negatively affected by the proportion of forest within a 1‐km buffer around each nest. Based on camera trap recordings, we suggest that the edge effect is caused by elevated nest predation rates by the most common predator, the red fox (Vulpes vulpes), closer to the forest edge. Future afforestation plans of open habitats need to acknowledge that the resulting fragmentation has a negative impact on nest survival of ground‐breeding birds. On the other hand, our results imply that restoration efforts aimed at removal of most damaging forest plantations could benefit breeding waders.
Cocaine's effects on the reactivity of the medial prefrontal cortex to ventral tegmental area stimulation: optical imaging study in mice
Authors: Park Kicheon , Clare Kevin , Volkow Nora D. , Pan Yingtian , Du Congwu 
Published: March 2022

AbstractBackground and AimsThe prefrontal cortex (PFC) is modulated by dopaminergic and glutamatergic neurons that project from the ventral tegmental area (VTA) and disruption of this modulation might facilitate impulsive behaviors during cocaine intoxication. Here, we assessed the effects of acute cocaine (30 mg/kg, i.p.) on the reactivity of the PFC to VTA stimulation.MethodsUsing a genetically encoded calcium indicator (GCaMP6f), we optically imaged the neuronal Ca2+ reactance in medial PFC (mPFC) in response to ‘tonic‐like’ (5 Hz) and ‘phasic‐like’ (50 Hz) electrical VTA stimulation. The high temporal and spatial resolutions of our optical system allowed us to capture single Ca2+ neuronal transients from individual stimuli with ‘tonic‐like’ stimulation and to visualize single neuronal activation evoked by ‘phasic‐like’ VTA stimulation.Results‘Tonic‐like’ VTA stimulation induced a rapid increase in mean neuronal Ca2+ in mPFC followed by a plateau and recovery upon termination of stimulation. After cocaine, the mPFC sensitivity to ‘tonic‐like’ VTA stimulation was attenuated, with a 50.4% reduction (P = 0.03) in the number of Ca2+ transients corresponding to single electrical stimuli but the recovery time was lengthened (4.30 ± 0.25 sec to 5.41 ± 0.24 sec, P = 0.03). ‘Phasic‐like’ stimulation evoked a rapid Ca2+ fluorescence increase in mPFC with an immediate decay process, and while cocaine did not affect the peak response (7.17 ± 1.07% versus 7.13 ± 0.96%, P = 0.98) it shortened the recovery time to baseline (3.27 ± 0.11 sec versus 2.38 ± 0.23 sec, P = 0.005).ConclusionsAcute cocaine impairs reactivity of medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) to ventral tegmental area stimulation, decreasing its sensitivity to ‘tonic‐like’ stimulation and lengthening the recovery time to return to baseline while shortening it for phasic stimulation. These changes in mPFC might contribute to cocaine binging during intoxication.
Deciphering the origin of small metal artefacts from Castillo de Huarmey (Peru) with Pb, Cu, and Ag isotopes
Authors: Kałaska Maciej , Mathur Ryan , Kamenov George , Chyla Julia , Prządka‐Giersz Patrycja , Giersz Miłosz 
Published: March 2022

AbstractThis paper presents Ag, Cu, and Pb isotopes for five silver and 10 copper artefacts found in the first intact pre‐Columbian tomb of the Wari culture female elite at Castillo de Huarmey, Peru. Ag and Cu isotope data indicate that the metals were extracted from primary, hypogene ore deposits. Most of the Pb isotope data for the Castillo de Huarmey artefacts correlate with the core Wari site of Conchopata, suggesting utilization of ores from similar deposits. The observed spread in Pb isotopes can be explained by the utilization of regional ores with highly variable Pb isotopes, such as the Julcani deposit. Alternatively, the linear nature of the Pb isotope results obtained for these samples may also be a result of the mixing of ores from different deposits or the re‐smelting of metals. Some of the Pb isotope results also indicate imports from other remote regions, providing evidence for long‐distance interactions on a vast regional scale, in the northern (North Coast of Peru) and southern (Southern Peru and Potosi region in Bolivia) spheres of influence of the Wari Empire and the Tiwanaku state.

Published: March 2022

AimsA few studies suggested that epilepsy and antiepileptic drugs with sodium channel‐blocking properties were independently associated with out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). However, these findings have not yet been replicated.MethodsUsing Danish registries, we conducted a nested case–control study in a cohort of individuals between 1 June 2001 and 31 December 2015. Cases were defined as OHCA from presumed cardiac causes, and were matched with non‐OHCA‐controls based on sex, and age on the date of OHCA. Exposure of interest was epilepsy or antiepileptic drug use. To study the association between individual antiepileptic drug use and the rate of OHCA, we compared each antiepileptic drug with valproic acid. Cox regression with time‐dependent covariates was conducted to calculate hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI).ResultsWe identified 35 195 OHCA‐cases and 351 950 matched non‐OHCA controls. Epilepsy (cases: 3.58%, controls: 1.60%) was associated with increased rate of OHCA compared with the general population (HR: 1.76, 95%CI: 1.64–1.88) when common OHCA risk factors were taken into account. When we studied antiepileptic drug use, we found that 2 antiepileptic drugs without sodium channel blockage, clonazepam (HR: 1.88, 95%CI: 1.45–2.44) and pregabalin (HR: 1.33, 95%CI: 1.05–1.69), were associated with OHCA, whereas none of the antiepileptic drugs with sodium channel blockage were associated with OHCA.ConclusionEpilepsy is associated with increased rate of OHCA. Our findings do not support a possible association between antiepileptic drugs with sodium channel‐blocking properties and OHCA.
Rare central nervous system lymphomas

Published: March 2022

AbstractCentral nervous system (CNS) lymphomas are rare malignancies characterised by lymphoid infiltration into the brain, spinal cord, cranial nerves, meninges and/or eyes in the presence or absence of previous or concurrent systemic disease. Most CNS lymphomas are of the diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma (DLBCL) subtype for which treatment strategies, particularly the use of high‐dose methotrexate‐based protocols and consolidation with autologous stem cell transplantation, are well established. Other histopathological subtypes of CNS lymphoma are comparatively less common with published data on these rare lymphomas dominated by smaller case series and retrospective reports. Consequently, there exists little clinical consensus on the optimal methods to diagnose and manage these clinically and biologically heterogeneous CNS lymphomas. In this review article, we focus on rarer CNS lymphomas, summarising the available clinical data on incidence, context, diagnostic features, reported management strategies, and clinical outcomes.

AbstractPegfilgrastim, a pegylated form of granulocyte colony‐stimulating factor, has reduced the risk of developing febrile neutropenia, which is associated with an increase in severe infection and prolonged hospitalization. However, pegfilgrastim administration requires that patients visit hospital following cancer chemotherapy, thus imposing a burden on patients and those around them. An on‐body injector (OBI), which automatically administers pegfilgrastim about 27 hours after chemotherapy, was used in this study. The OBI, which consists of a main pump unit and infusion set, is a drug delivery device designed to be attached to the patient's body, with a timer‐controlled dosing function. This study was conducted in breast cancer patients to evaluate the safety of pegfilgrastim administered subcutaneously via the OBI. The study period consisted of screening and treatment observation periods involving four cycles of neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy with docetaxel plus cyclophosphamide. One 3.6‐mg pegfilgrastim dose was administered subcutaneously via OBI during each cycle of chemotherapy. The study enrolled 35 patients, and no serious adverse events or febrile neutropenia occurred. Administration of pegfilgrastim was successfully completed at all times when the OBI was attached to the patient, and no safety concerns associated with OBI function arose. For outpatients requiring pegfilgrastim following cancer chemotherapy, the use of an OBI was considered to be a safe option to reduce the need for outpatient visits that restrict their activities of daily living.
