From sense to meaning: Narrative Function Coding System for the experience of illness
Authors: Freda Maria Francesca , Lemmo Daniela , Auriemma Ersilia , De Luca Picione Raffaele , Martino Maria Luisa 
Published: September 2022

PurposeConsistent with current literature, which highlights the role of narration as a key tool for exploring the processes by which people construct the meaning of their critical experiences the authors propose a theoretical and methodological model to analyse the narratives of illness and identify any innovative aspects. The generative model of mind presented refers to a semiotic, narrative and socio-constructivist perspective according to which narration constitutes one of the possible processes by which the affective and pre-verbal sense of experience is transformed into a meaning that can be symbolized and shared.Design/methodology/approachThe onset of an illness represents a critical event which interrupts a person's life narrative, shattering his/her biographical continuity and undermining any assumptions of him/herself and the world. In particular, the model proposes a method of analysis, currently absent in literature, of the narrative interview Narrative Function Coding System (NFC) in order to grasp the ways by which four main narrative functions, namely psychic functions, are classified: the search for meaning, the expression of emotions, the temporal organization and the orientation to action.FindingsNFC appears to be able to capture the complexity of the narrative process of construction of illness' sense-meaning making process, identifying both representative modalities of good functioning, which express a gradual process of connection with the variability of the experience, and modalities that express moments of disorganization and rigidity, which can persist throughout the time of treatment. The NFC represents not only a method for analysing illness narratives but also a method for tracking and monitoring the process of clinical intervention and change.Originality/valueThe sense-meaning making process perspective within the narrative socio-constructivist and semiotic framework of analysis proposed by NFC is currently absent in the literature. NFC can be a device for analysing the narrative process of sense-meaning making both for its use for clinical and preventive purposes. In addition we believe that this method, which focuses on the “form” and “way” of narratively constructing the subjective experience, rather than on the specific thematic content, can be used with all types of illness narratives, in particular the longitudinal one to explore the changes in sense-meaning making process.
Gender disparities in rural education attainments and agricultural landownership from the perspective of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): evidence from 16 Sub-Sahara African countries
Authors: Liu Suyu 
Published: September 2022

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between gender disparities in rural education attainments and agricultural landownership (ALO) in Sub-Sahara Africa with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) perspective.

Design/methodology/approach
This study uses SDG indicators interactions and pairwise correlation analysis.

Findings
There is a significant negative association between gender disparities in rural education attainments and ALO in Sub-Sahara Africa. Such negative relationship is not influenced by national economic development and living standards.

Research limitations/implications
The data is limited with 16 Sub-Sahara African countries, and as this is an early output of a number of follow-up studies in the author’s plan, the methodology is relatively simple.

Practical implications
Reducing gender disparity in rural Sub-Sahara Africa especially in ALO requires more integrated approaches which also address other aspects of sustainable development. This is particularly the situation because of the strong male-favored customary practices in rural Sub-Sahara Africa. The prioritization of different dimensions of sustainable development is also important in Sub-Sahara Africa.

Social implications
Strong awareness of SDGs is important. Further efforts in collecting data for and use data of sustainable development, especially the SDGs, are essential. Emerging trend of studying the interactions across SDGs reflects the future direction of relevant fields.

Originality/value
This paper has high originality because it is an early-stage research in the SDG interactions in Sub-Sahara African countries with the perspective of gender, gender disparity, Sub-Sahara Africa, SDGs, ALO and rural education attainments. This paper has both academic and practical values because of its innovative research thoughts and policy-oriented implications.
The impact of website quality on online compulsive buying behavior: evidence from online shopping organizations
Authors: Rahman Mst Farjana , Hossain Md Shamim 
Published: September 2022

PurposeThe influence of website quality on online compulsive buying behavior (OCBB) in the context of online shopping based on the usage of a credit card (UCC) and online impulsive buying behavior (OIBB) was investigated in this study.Design/methodology/approachThe authors used a research model to examine the relationships between the study components as per the prescription. For this investigation, the authors used an online survey form to obtain primary data from 350 respondents on social media. A covariance-based structural equation modeling approach was used to evaluate the structural research model and data.FindingsThe findings reveal that the quality of online shopping websites positively affects consumers' UCC and OIBB, and these in turn positively influence their OCBB.Practical implicationsThe study emphasized impacting elements on consumer behavior and gave advice for future research based on the results. Using several dimensions of website quality, this study bridges the knowledge gap between UCC, OIBB and OCBB.Originality/valueBased on UCC and OIBB, the authors developed a new model to investigate the link between website quality and OCBB. To the best of the authors' knowledge, it is the first experimental result that assesses the impact of website quality on OCBB.
A beautiful strategy – bridging the gap between the (aesthetic) perception and (strategic) realization of the organizations purpose
Authors: Kerschbaum Clemens 
Published: September 2022

Purpose
Recent literature in the field of knowledge management (e.g. Nonaka and Takeuchi, 2021) asks for new, future-oriented approaches to strategy that allow us to deal with an increasingly complex world. Thus, this paper aims to build an approach to exploit aesthetics (human’s sensory perceptions and their felt meanings) to sense an organizations purpose and realize it by means of organizational strategy.

Design/methodology/approach
Conceptual paper, providing a new perspective on the perception of Organizational Purpose. The abductive argument follows Weick’s notion of Disciplined Imagination (Weick, 1989).

Findings
The main argument of this paper is that aesthetics contribute to the identification of organizational purpose. Thus, aesthetic perceptions can inform strategy to implement a stakeholders’ sense of purpose into strategy.

Research limitations/implications
The argument presented is grounded in recent literature on the concepts of purpose and aesthetics and abductive in nature. Thus, empirical research to validate the argument would be beneficial and worthwhile to be undertaken.

Practical implications
The paper presents the idea to integrate the sense of organizational purpose into a corporate strategy to address stakeholders’ value expectations and build more sustainable organizations. By emphasizing aesthetics, the study takes a stand for the inclusion of nonrational knowledge in organizational decision-making.

Originality/value
As far as the author’s knowledge goes, the concepts of aesthetics and organizational purpose have not theoretically been connected to each other. However, due to the implicit nature of purpose, aesthetics may serve as the matching knowledge tool to work with organizational purpose.

Published: September 2022

AbstractSensitization to galactose‐α‐1,3‐galactose (α‐Gal) leads to the development of α‐Gal syndrome, which includes red meat allergy and cetuximab‐induced anaphylaxis. Since tick bites represent the main cause of α‐Gal sensitization, it was speculated that sensitization to α‐Gal occurs throughout Japan. However, few cohort studies have investigated α‐Gal sensitization in Japan. Therefore, we aimed to elucidate the subclinical sensitization rate to α‐Gal in Japan. Sera were obtained from 300 participants without food or cetuximab allergy at Shimane University Hospital (Shimane prefecture), Tokyo Medical and Dental University Hospital (Tokyo metropolis), and Tohoku University Hospital (Miyagi prefecture). ImmunoCAP‐bovine thyroglobulin (BTG), ImmunoCAP‐beef, and IgE immunoblotting with cetuximab were performed to detect α‐Gal‐specific IgE. Clinical information was collected from participants using a questionnaire. The overall positivity rate of ImmunoCAP‐BTG was 4.0% without significant inter‐institute differences, whereas that for ImmunoCAP‐beef was 9.7% with a significant inter‐institute difference. Tokyo Medical and Dental University Hospital (19.0%) had the highest positivity rate. The positivity rate based on cetuximab IgE immunoblotting was 2.7%, without any significant inter‐institute differences. The overall positivity rate for both ImmunoCAP‐BTG and cetuximab immunoblotting was 2.0%, with a significant inter‐institute difference; 5.0% of Shimane University Hospital was the highest. Two cases showed sensitization against the non‐α‐Gal epitope of cetuximab. The overall positivity rate for both ImmunoCAP‐beef and cetuximab immunoblotting was 1.3%, without significant inter‐institute differences. Male sex was associated with positive beef‐specific IgE. The prevalence of subclinical sensitization to α‐Gal is estimated at 2.0%–4.0% in Japan and may be higher in rural areas, supporting an association between tick bites and α‐Gal sensitization. In contrast, the prevalence of subclinical sensitization to beef is 9.7% in Japan and is highest in Tokyo Metropolis, suggesting the presence of another IgE‐binding epitope apart from α‐Gal and another sensitization route in the sensitization to beef IgE.
Farm technical and environmental efficiency and subsidy redistribution in Ireland: A simulation approach of possible performance and equity effects
Authors: Cillero Maria Martinez , Reaños Miguel Tovar 
Published: September 2022

AbstractWe investigate the relationship between EU Common Agricultural Policy environmental payments, and dairy and beef farm level competitiveness and environmental performance. We use an Irish panel of farm level financial data for the years 2000–2017 and apply stochastic frontier analysis. Our estimates identify a positive relationship between technical efficiency and the Green, Low‐Carbon, Agri‐Environment Scheme for dairy farms, in contrast with the negative relation identified for previous payments of this kind such as the Rural Environment Protection Scheme for both beef and dairy. We then simulate increases in the first type of environmental payments financed through reductions in decoupled payments. We use alternative scenarios for payment redistribution such as flat allocation, allocation to farms with low stocking rates or proportional reallocation of payments. We find that under the second scenario, marginal environmental gains can potentially be achieved for dairy farms. For beef farms, the proportional allocation performs best regarding environmental gains. We also find that under this scenario, the impacts on income inequality can be smoothed for both farm types.
Female murderers who mutilate or dismember their victims: An exploration of patterns and sex differences
Authors: Petreca Victor G. , Brucato Gary , Burgess Ann W. , Flores Jessica , Leary Terence 
Published: September 2022

AbstractAttributes and behavioral patterns of female homicide offenders have been less explored than those of males, particularly in crimes that involve aggravating factors such as dismemberment and mutilation. This study explored the patterns of female murderers who engage in postmortem dismemberment and/or mutilation of victims, contrasting these with the patterns of males who display these same behaviors. Cases were obtained from Radford‐Florida Gulf Coast University Database and public sources, and then analyzed for specific characteristics of the crimes. An informational form was used to derive quantitative parameters. Statistical significance between sex and variables such as motive, dismemberment/mutilation style, and level of organization during the crime were examined. The majority of the cases were consistent with a defensive style. However, 23% of the cases involving females followed an offensive style compared to 33% among males. The nature of prior relationships between offenders and their victims was noteworthy, with the victims of males being largely strangers and the victims of females being primarily known to them. In comparison to males, females were markedly organized. These differences may emphasize aspects of psychological drives and pleasure‐seeking that was more commonly seen among men, who often targeted strangers and were motivated by sadism in 25% of the cases. Dismemberment perpetrated by women primarily followed a defensive style that aimed to dispose of evidence, which would be congruent with the assumption that the murder occurred within a prior background of interpersonal partner violence toward the female perpetrator or other family members.
Modeling intensification decisions in the Kilombero Valley floodplain: A Bayesian belief network approach
Authors: Gebrekidan Bisrat Haile , Heckelei Thomas , Rasch Sebastian 
Published: September 2022

AbstractThe Kilombero Valley floodplain in Tanzania is a major agricultural area. Government initiatives and projects supported by international funding have long sought to boost productivity. Due to increasing population pressure, smallholder farmers are forced to increase their output. Nevertheless, the level of intensification is still lower than what is considered necessary to increase production and support smallholder livelihoods significantly. This article aims to better understand farmers’ intensification choices and their interdependent determinants. We propose a novel modeling approach for identifying determinants of intensification and their interrelationships by combining a Bayesian belief network (BBN), experimental design, and multivariate regression trees. Our approach complements existing lower‐dimensional statistical models by considering uncertainty and providing an easily updatable model structure. The BBN is constructed and calibrated using data from a survey of 304 farm households. Our findings show how the data‐driven BBN approach can be used to identify variables that influence farmers’ decision to choose one technique over another. Furthermore, the most important drivers vary widely, depending on the intensification options being considered.
Older children verify adult claims because they are skeptical of those claims
Authors: Cottrell Samantha , Torres Eric , Harris Paul L. , Ronfard Samuel 
Published: September 2022

AbstractWe investigated children's information seeking in response to a surprising claim (Study 1, N = 109, 54 Female, Range = 4.02—6.94 years, 49% White, 21% Mixed Ethnicity, 19% Southeast Asian, September 2019—March 2020; Study 2, N = 154, 74 Female, Range = 4.09—7.99, 50% White, 20% Mixed Ethnicity, 17% Southeast Asian, September 2020—December 2020). Relative to younger children, older children more often expressed skepticism about the adult's surprising claims (1‐year increase, OR = 2.70) and more often suggested exploration strategies appropriate for testing the specific claim they heard (1‐year increase, OR = 1.42). Controlling for age, recommending more targeted exploration strategies was associated with a greater likelihood of expressing skepticism about the adult's claim.
Meeting in school: Cultural diversity approaches of teachers and intergroup contact among ethnic minority and majority adolescents
Authors: Karataş Savaş , Eckstein Katharina , Noack Peter , Rubini Monica , Crocetti Elisabetta 
Published: September 2022

AbstractThis study investigated the associations between cultural diversity approaches endorsed by teachers and adolescents' positive and negative intergroup contact in schools. Participants were 984 adolescents (Mage = 14.66; 62.7% female; 24.8% ethnic minority) involved in a three‐wave longitudinal study between 2019 and 2020. Results highlighted that perceived equal treatment by teachers was related to higher positive and lower negative contact over time. However, perceived support for contact and cooperation and interest of teachers in children's cultural background were not related to either positive or negative contact over time. Importantly, the results were replicated across ethnic minority and majority adolescents. This study provides novel insights into the key role that teachers can play in promoting cultural diversity approaches to facilitate harmonious intergroup interactions in schools.
A systematic review of the monogenic causes of Non‐Syndromic Hearing Loss (NSHL) and discussion of Current Diagnosis and Treatment options
Authors: Sharma Nandita , Kumari Divya , Panigrahi Inusha , Khetarpal Preeti 
Published: September 2022

AbstractHearing impairment is one of the most widespread inheritable sensory disorder affecting at least 1 in every 1000 born. About two‐third of hereditary hearing loss (HHL) disorders are non‐syndromic. To provide comprehensive update of monogenic causes of non‐syndromic hearing loss (NSHL), literature search has been carried out with appropriate keywords in the following databases–PubMed, Google Scholar, Cochrane library, and Science Direct. Out of 2214 papers, 271 papers were shortlisted after applying inclusion and exclusion criterion. Data extracted from selected papers include information about gene name, identified pathogenic variants, ethnicity of the patient, age of onset, gender, title, authors' name, and year of publication. Overall, pathogenic variants in 98 different genes have been associated with NSHL. These genes have important role to play during early embryonic development in ear structure formation and hearing development. Here, we also review briefly the recent information about diagnosis and treatment approaches. Understanding pathogenic genetic variants are helpful in the management of affected and may offer targeted therapies in future.
Bi‐allelic pathogenic variants in ITGA8 cause slowly progressive renal disease of unknown etiology

Published: September 2022

AbstractIntegrin Subunit Alpha 8 gene (ITGA8) encodes an integrin chain that is known to be critical in the early stage of the kidney development. Bi‐allelic pathogenic variants in ITGA8 are associated with bilateral renal agenesis, as well as anomalies involving urogenital system. Here, we report two unrelated patients presenting with slowly progressing chronic kidney disease associated with bilateral renal hypodysplasia carrying homozygous loss of function variants in the ITGA8 gene. These results broaden the clinical and genotypic spectrum of ITGA8 defects, revealing the high and unexpected degree of phenotypic heterogeneity of this autosomal recessive disease. Our study emphasizes the usefulness of Next‐Generation Sequencing in unraveling the genetic cause of chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology, and raises the question of genetic modifiers involved in the variation of the phenotypes associated with autosomal recessive ITGA8 pathogenic variants.
An annual index of Irish industrial production, 1800–1913
Authors: Kenny Seán , Lennard Jason , O'Rourke Kevin Hjortshøj 
Published: September 2022

AbstractWe assemble the Irish industrial data currently available for the years 1800–1921, the period during which the entire island was in a political union with Great Britain, and construct an annual index of Irish industrial output for 1800–1913. We also construct a new industrial price index. Irish industrial output grew by an average of 1.3 per cent per annum between 1800 and the outbreak of the First World War. Industrial growth was slightly slower than previously thought, especially during the two decades immediately preceding the Great Famine. While Ireland did not experience absolute deindustrialisation either before the Famine or afterwards, its industrial growth was disappointing when considered in a comparative perspective.

AbstractBackground and purposeA clinical risk score for sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) in patients with drug‐resistant focal epilepsy could help improve prevention.MethodsA case–control study was conducted including (i) definite or probable SUDEP cases collected by the French National Sentinel Mortality Epilepsy Network and (ii) control patients from the French national research database of epilepsy monitoring units. Patients with drug‐resistant focal epilepsy were eligible. Multiple logistic regressions were performed. After sensitivity analysis and internal validation, a simplified risk score was developed from the selected variables.ResultsSixty‐two SUDEP cases and 620 controls were included. Of 21 potential predictors explored, seven were ultimately selected, including generalized seizure frequency (>1/month vs. <1/year: adjusted odds ratio [AOR] 2.6, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.25–5.41), nocturnal or sleep‐related seizures (AOR 4.49, 95% CI 2.68–7.53), current or past depression (AOR 2.0, 95% CI 1.19–3.34) or the ability to alert someone of an oncoming seizure (AOR 0.57, 95% CI 0.33–0.98). After internal validation, a clinically usable score ranging from −1 to 8 was developed, with high discrimination capabilities (area under the receiver operating curve 0.85, 95% CI 0.80–0.90). The threshold of 3 has good sensitivity (82.3%, 95% CI 72.7–91.8), whilst keeping a good specificity (82.7%, 95% CI 79.8–85.7).ConclusionsThese results outline the importance of generalized and nocturnal seizures on the occurrence of SUDEP, and show a protective role in the ability to alert someone of an oncoming seizure. The SUDEP‐CARE score is promising and will need external validation. Further work, including paraclinical explorations, could improve this risk score.
