Hospitals management transformative initiatives; towards energy efficiency and environmental sustainability in healthcare facilities
Authors: Dion Helen , Evans Martin , Farrell Peter 
Published: August 2022

Purpose
Energy-saving is a growing challenge worldwide because of population growth, economic activity and high consumption rates that are unsustainable in the long term. Health-care facilities and hospitals face the challenge of increases in operational costs. This paper aims to appraise challenges to adopting energy-saving policies and proposes a roadmap for sustainability and energy efficiency management in hospitals and health-care facilities.

Design/methodology/approach
Eight hospitals were examined as case studies through qualitative interviews with hospital senior management, executives and health-care facilities managers in addition to collecting relevant data from the literature; there is critical appraisal and content analysis of this data.

Findings
This study established factors influencing implementation and challenges to energy-saving strategies. This study proposed guidelines for efficient energy management in hospitals and health-care facilities. This study concluded that the best performance is secured by integrating the proposed guidelines with the adoption of ISO 50001 energy management systems to achieve the United Nations’ sustainable development goal – SDG 7 “affordable and clean energy”.

Research limitations/implications
This study is limited to the initiatives/experiences of the hospitals studied in the Middle East and North Africa region.

Originality/value
This study’s findings, conclusions, recommendations and proposed guidelines enrich the body of knowledge. This will allow industry key stakeholders, hospitals and health-care facilities managers to overcome challenges of implementing energy management. In addition, adopting the proposed guidelines will improve energy efficiency and help hospitals in green initiatives as they seek to demonstrate their support for United Nations’ sustainable development goals.
Workplace coaching: testing whether personality traits and their ABCD components predict authentic self-development via affect balance
Authors: Erdös Tünde , Wilt Joshua , Tichelmann Michael 
Published: August 2022

PurposeLittle is known about how individual differences play out in the process of authentic self-development (ASD) through workplace coaching. This article explores whether the Big Five personality traits and affective, behavioral, cognitive and desire (ABCDs) components of the Big Five personality traits were relevant to ASD, specifically examining the role of affect as a potential mediator.Design/methodology/approachIn total, 176 clients' personality was assessed pre-coaching. Aspects of ASD (perceived competence, goal commitment, self-concordance and goal stability) were assessed post-coaching. Clients' affect balance (AB) scores were obtained post-session.FindingsMultilevel path models showed that higher levels of mean AB (but not the slope) mediated the associations between personality and perceived competence and goal commitment. Personality predicted goal self-concordance, but these effects were not mediated by AB, neither personality nor AB predicted goal stability.Research limitations/implicationsThe authors encourage randomized controlled trials to further test findings of this study. Ruling out method variance is not possible completely. However, the authors put forth considerations to support the authors' claim that method variance did not overly influence our results.Practical implicationsThese results suggest the necessity of an optimal experience of affect for ASD in workplace coaching and the understanding of how ABCDs, AB and ASD are related beyond coaching psychology.Social implicationsA deeper understanding of personality processes is important for fostering ASD to meet the challenges of management development in the authors' volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity (VUCA) world.Originality/valueThis is the first study to test personality as a process in workplace coaching linking personality to one of the most valued leadership skills: authenticity.
Drugs or despair? Unraveling the rise in deaths of despair in Illinois
Authors: Cataldo Jessica 
Published: August 2022

Purpose
Increases in deaths of despair in the USA have been associated with economic conditions and drug availability. In the state of Illinois, deaths of despair represent a significant public health issue. This study aims to examine the relationship between county-level economic distress, drug availability and mortality from deaths of despair collectively and for each contributing cause of death individually in the state of Illinois to better understand drivers of mortality locally.

Design/methodology/approach
Two cross-sectional analyses were conducted for 2010–2014 and 2015–2019. Correlations, regression analyses and relative weight analyses were applied to assess the relationship between deaths of despair mortality rate and the individual variables.

Findings
Deaths of despair mortality collectively and for each cause of death individually increased significantly from 2010–2014 to 2015–2019 in Illinois. Suicide mortality was higher in rural counties and was related to economic distress, while drug poisoning and alcohol-related deaths were higher in urban counties and were related to drug availability indicators.

Originality/value
While all three causes of death increased in the state, suicide mortality was inversely related to deaths of despair mortality. This may be because of different individual risk factors in rural versus urban areas or issues with coding cause of death. The findings of this study point to a rising public health challenge of deaths of despair mortality, particularly from substance use, in urban counties and from suicide in rural counties.
Use and perception of gerontechnology: differences in a group of Spanish older adults
Authors: Murciano-Hueso Alicia , Martín-Lucas Judith , Serrate González Sara , Torrijos Fincias Patricia 
Published: August 2022

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to understand the profile of use of gerontechnology in Spanish older adults considering their age group (60–70; 71–80 and over 80 years) and to discern whether groups of subjects with similar characteristics can be established to ascertain which factors are behind the profile of frequent gerontechnology use.Design/methodology/approachA quantitative study is presented to understand the profile of use of gerontechnology in Spanish older adults. The sample comprised 497 participants (aged between 60 and 94 years).FindingsThe results show that, even though most participants consider technology to be useful in their daily lives, there is still a lack of knowledge on how to use it, especially among older subjects. This highlights the importance of promoting technological cocreation initiatives such as senior living labs.Research limitations/implicationsOther researchers are encouraged to include the voices of older adults using gerontechnology in further studies.Practical implicationsIf we want to increase the acceptance of technology by older adults, we must first let them take part in the design of the technologies they will use.Social implicationsThis research provides promising data that should merit attention to contribute to the well-being and quality of life of older adults in a society where currently technology is a key part in every sphere of our daily life.Originality/valueThe value of this research lies in the implications of “aging in place” studies today.
Is teleworking at odds with social sustainability and organizational learning?
Authors: Mosquera Pilar , Soares Maria Eduarda , Alvadia Teresa 
Published: August 2022

Purpose
The well-being of individuals is an essential issue of sustainability research. This study aims to focus on the particular case of teleworkers and the work conditions which may hinder their well-being. More specifically, this study analyses the impact of social isolation and work overload on the work engagement and life satisfaction of teleworkers during COVID-19 pandemic.

Design/methodology/approach
With a sample of 188 workers from the Portuguese banking sector, the authors use structural equations modelling to test a conceptual model. The authors carry out data analysis with partial least squares.

Findings
Social isolation and work overload are both negatively associated with the three dimensions of work engagement, namely, vigour, absorption and dedication. In turn, vigour is positively associated with life satisfaction. Social isolation and work overload are indirectly associated with life satisfaction through vigour. Results from multi-group analysis show that the negative relationship between social isolation and dedication is stronger for less senior teleworkers. By contrast, the negative relationship between work overload and dedication is stronger for more senior teleworkers. Additionally, the positive relationship between vigour and life satisfaction is stronger for permanent workers than for temporary ones.

Originality/value
This study tests the assumptions of the job demands-resources under the novel conditions of telework during COVID-19, focusing its ubiquitous conditions – social isolation and work overload. For human resources managers, this study highlights the need to take seniority and job stability in consideration when devising onboarding and working arrangement strategies for teleworkers.
Case series of modified dermis graft for skin defects of the nasal region

Published: August 2022

AbstractLocal skin flap from the surrounding area is often chosen for reconstruction of skin defects in the nasal region, but it is problematic because it creates new facial scar and requires skill of design. On the other hand, full‐thickness skin graft is associated with problems such as color mismatch and scar contracture at the recipient site. We reconstructed nasal defects of seven patients using modified dermis graft technique. In this method, de‐epithelialized full‐thickness skin graft is transplanted and then epithelialized from the surrounding area. This is a simple and easy procedure without causing a new scar on the face and is aesthetically and functionally superior to a standard full‐thickness skin graft; therefore, it is a useful method of reconstruction of the nasal area.
Bottom‐up effects of plant quantity and quality on arthropod diversity across multiple trophic levels in a semi‐arid grassland

Published: August 2022

Abstract

Plant quantity and quality can independently affect the diversity of the entire arthropod communities and multiple arthropod taxa in grassland ecosystems. However, it remains unclear how these effects on arthropod taxa at one trophic level propagate through food web to influence the diversity of higher trophic levels.

We performed a monoculture experiment with 15 herbaceous species in the Inner Mongolian grassland to investigate how natural variations in plant productivity and host leaf traits affect herbivore taxon richness, which, in turn, affects predator taxon richness.

For herbivores, plant productivity indirectly promoted herbivore taxon richness by increasing herbivore biomass, which was attributed to the increases in the richness of dominant sucking herbivores and endophytes with high food requirements. However, the high plant quality indicator (e.g. high leaf protein, phosphorus and water contents, and high leaf protein to carbohydrate ratio) directly increased, whereas the low plant quality indicator (e.g. high leaf lignin content) directly decreased herbivore taxon richness. Taxon richness of chewing and sucking herbivores with specific feeding modes (tearing or sucking mouthparts) showed strong positive responses to increasing plant quality.

For predators, herbivore taxon richness, rather than herbivore biomass, mainly mediated the positive effects of plant productivity and the high plant quality indicator, but the negative effect of the low plant quality indicator, on predator taxon richness. At the feeding guild level, the taxon richness of parasitoids, other predators and spiders exhibited positive responses to different herbivores, which was attributed to their different diet preferences. Predator diversity could be promoted by prey partitioning among predator guilds facilitating species coexistence. At the family level, the taxon richness of most predator families was positively correlated with that of more than one herbivore family, suggesting that high predator diversity may be caused by balanced diets owing to high prey diversity.

Synthesis. Natural variations in plant quantity and quality can substantially affect the diversity of herbivores and cascade up the food web to affect predators. Specificity and mechanisms of feeding have a large impact on the responses of arthropod guilds at each trophic level.
Implementing local planetary health: Case study of Blue Mountains, Australia
Authors: Robson Eleanor , Crabtree‐Hayes Louise , Langevad William , Zhong Hua Flora , Barrett Kim , Salazar Juan Francisco 
Published: August 2022

AbstractPlanetary health is a concept that emerged from public health and is of central interest for geographers. Blue Mountains City Council (BMCC) launched its planetary health initiative in 2020, which is a first instance of it being adopted by an Australian local government as a sustainability policy framework. This article presents an initial case study arguing for and testing how to gain empirical insights from developing local planetary health initiatives. Using an online survey of Blue Mountains residents from 2020, we elucidate key opportunities and challenges associated with implementing planetary health in local contexts. We found that respondents experience the impacts of environmental change in varied ways and want to do more to address environmental change. They demand action from governments and others to act, yet do not understand well the mechanisms available to local governments to undertake such action. We also established that planetary health shows promise in its ability to accommodate diverse and scalar experiences and action from personal to communal. Thus, our key claim is that it could be an inclusive basis upon which local governments and communities can deliberate and make decisions about sustainability. However, local governments could experience difficulties in implementing planetary health should deliberation not improve community understanding of the levers available to local government to act on environmental change and the nature of shared responsibility for place‐based sustainability. We suggest geographers could do more work on such matters.
Adjuvant anticholinergic therapy for the prevention of akathisia in patients with primary headache in the emergency department: A systematic review
Authors: Meyer Jillian , Kirkland Scott W. , Campbell Sandra , Villa‐Roel Cristina , Rowe Brian H. 
Published: August 2022

AbstractObjectivesAdjunct therapy with anticholinergic agents has been proposed to reduce the incidence of extrapyramidal side effects such as akathisia following treatment with neuroleptics or metoclopramide. This systematic review assessed the effectiveness of anticholinergic agents to prevent neuroleptic or metoclopramide‐induced akathisia in patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) with benign headache.MethodsEight electronic databases and the gray literature were searched to identify randomized controlled trials involving adult patients presenting to the ED with primary headache treated with neuroleptic or metoclopramide. Study selection, data extraction, and quality assessment were completed by two independent reviewers. Individual or pooled meta‐analysis of dichotomous outcomes were calculated as relative risks (RRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) using a random‐effects model. Heterogeneity was assessed using theI2statistic.ResultsA total of 1032 studies were screened, of which two studies were included in the review. Both studies provided patients with diphenhydramine following treatment with neuroleptics or metoclopramide. Treatment with diphenhydramine did not reduce the incidence of akathisia compared to treatment with placebo (RR 0.83, 95% CI 0.43–1.61,I2 = 0%). The impact of diphenhydramine on pain relief, need for rescue medications, and relief of other extrapyramidal side effects was reported in one of the two studies, with no significant differences noted in any outcomes compared to patients treated with placebo.ConclusionThis review found insufficient evidence to recommend the use of diphenhydramine as an adjunct therapy to prevent akathisia in ED patients treated with neuroleptics or metoclopramide for primary headache. This finding relies on the results of two small randomized controlled trials with incomplete outcome reporting. Additional high‐quality studies are needed to better understand the clinical efficacy of agents with anticholinergic properties in the ED management of patients with primary headaches.

Published: August 2022

AimThere is no international consensus for the screening and diagnosis of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). In March 2020, modified screening and diagnostic recommendations were rapidly implemented in Queensland, Australia, in response to the COVID‐19 pandemic. How clinicians perceived and used these changes can provide insights to support high‐quality clinical practice and provide lessons for future policy changes. The aim of this study was to understand clinicians' perceptions and use of COVID‐19 changes to GDM screening and diagnostic recommendations.MethodsQueensland healthcare professionals responsible for diagnosing or caring for women with GDM were recruited for semi‐structured telephone interviews. Data analysis of transcribed interviews used inductive reflexive thematic analysis.ResultsSeventeen interviews were conducted with the following participants: six midwives/nurses, three endocrinologists, two general practitioners, two general practitioners/obstetricians, two diabetes educators, one dietitian and one obstetrician. Three themes emerged: communication and implementation, perceptions and value of evidence and diversity in perceptions of GDM screening. Overall, clinicians welcomed the rapid changes during the initial uncertainty of the pandemic, but as COVID‐19 became less of a threat to the Queensland healthcare system, some questioned the underlying evidence base. In areas where GDM was more prevalent, clinicians more frequently worried about missed diagnoses, whereas others who felt that overdiagnosis had occurred in the past continued to support the changes.ConclusionsThese findings highlight the challenges to changing policy when clinicians have diverse (and often strongly held) views.

AbstractPurposeWe examined patient satisfaction with postoperative chest appearance after Nuss procedure and analyzed the factors for postoperative low satisfaction.MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed data of 133 patients who underwent the Nuss procedure from 2000 to 2016. Their medical records, X‐rays, and computed tomography scans were evaluated. Haller index and concave rate were used as objective indices of the deformity. The questionnaires were used to evaluate satisfaction with the chest appearance by a linear scale including five markers (1: dissatisfaction, 5: satisfaction). The patients were divided into two groups: the low satisfaction (score = 1, 2) and the high satisfaction (score = 3–5).ResultsThe median age during the Nuss procedure was 7.6 (interquartile range, 5.8–12.8) years. Out of 133, 65 patients replied, and the mean postoperative satisfaction score was 3.8 ± 0.2. Out of the 65 respondents, 16 patients (24.6%) were classified as low satisfaction group. Haller index and concave rate were significantly higher and the previous instances of chest operation history were more frequent in the low satisfaction group than in the high satisfaction group, although there was no significant intergroup difference in terms of the postoperative concave rate.ConclusionsSevere deformity and previous chest operation history were considered to be factors for low satisfaction.
The effect of corporate donation motive attribution on investors' judgments of future earnings prospects: The moderating role of individual moral orientation
Authors: Chen Ye , Yang Naiding 
Published: August 2022

AbstractWe experimentally investigate whether donation motive attribution influences individual investors' judgments of the donating firm's future earnings prospects and whether individual moral orientation, that is, perceived importance of social goodwill (PISG), moderates this effect. We find that investors forecast higher future earnings per share (EPS) when the donation motive is believed to be altruistic or win–win rather than egoistic; the EPS forecasts for altruistic and win–win motives are not different. However, this motive attribution effect holds only for higher‐PISG investors. A further examination finds that when the donation motive is believed to be egoistic and/or when investors have lower PISG, doing good is no better than doing nothing, but no backfire effect occurs. Our findings indicate that the positive effect of corporate donation on investors' judgments is generated only when higher‐PISG investors believe that the donation motive is not purely egoistic; corporate donation will not generate negative effects on investors' judgments even under less favorable conditions.
Experience and maturation: The contribution of co‐occurrence regularities in language to the development of semantic organization
Authors: Savic Olivera , Unger Layla , Sloutsky Vladimir M. 
Published: August 2022

AbstractWith development knowledge becomes organized according to semantic links, including early‐developing associative (e.g., juicy–apple) and gradually developing taxonomic links (e.g., apple–pear). Word co‐occurrence regularities may foster these links: Associative links may form from direct co‐occurrence (e.g., juicy–apple), and taxonomic links from shared co‐occurrence (e.g., apple and pear co‐occur with juicy). Four experiments (2017–2020) investigated this possibility with 4‐ to 8‐year‐olds (N = 148, 82 female) and adults (N = 116, 35 female) in a U.S. city with 58.6% White; 29.0% Black, and 5.8% Asian demographics. Results revealed earlier development of the abilities to form direct (ds > 0.536) than the abilities to form shared co‐occurrence‐based links (ds > 1.291). We argue that the asynchronous development of abilities to form co‐occurrence‐based links may explain developmental changes in semantic organization.
