An analysis of students’ satisfaction with distance learning in Moroccan universities during the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Zouiri Lahboub , Kinani Fatima Ezzahra 
Published: October 2022

PurposeIn Morocco, universities have opted for online courses as a national effort to contain the coronavirus since the early stage. This article aims to analyze university students’ satisfaction with their distance learning experience during the COVID-19 pandemic.Design/methodology/approachThis article is based on the statistical analysis of a survey conducted in 2020 at the national level among 800 university students from all disciplines enrolled in open access and regulated access institutions in Morocco. Econometrically, the authors used the ordinal logistic regression model after checking several conditions justifying its use.FindingsFindings from analysis reveal that students lacking basic computer skills have a negative perception of this new mode of learning. The results also show a certain sensitivity of the students to the way in which the courses are taught. The satisfaction of the learners largely depends on the duration of the courses, the interactivity, and the teaching methods adopted. In designing, developing, and delivering distance education courses, students’ needs should be taken care of.Originality/valueThis article suggests that for public policies, professional training for teachers should equip them with the pedagogical skills so that they can adjust their teaching according to students’ levels. Training in digital tools must also be provided to bridge the digital divide and accelerate positive change and adaptation to this new mode of training. In addition, this article highlights the role of interactivity in increasing adaptation to distance learning.
Customers’ continuance usage of mobile payment during the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Istijanto  , Handoko Indria 
Published: October 2022

Purpose
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly affected how consumers make payment choices. This study aims to develop a comprehensive model explaining customers’ continuance usage of mobile payment during the COVID-19 pandemic by investigating both the pull (positive) factors of mobile payment and the push (negative) factors of cash payment.

Design/methodology/approach
A survey was conducted on 508 mobile payment users. A quota sampling method was applied to collect the data. Then, the data were analyzed using structural equation modeling. This study employed SPSS and LISREL software.

Findings
This study reveals that four antecedent factors: favorable attitude toward mobile payment, social influence, facilitating conditions and unfavorable attitude toward cash payment, positively affect the continuance intention to use mobile payment during the COVID-19 pandemic. The finding also corroborates the effect of continuance intention on the actual use of mobile payment.

Practical implications
This research provides valuable insights for formulating business strategies. The results indicate that mobile payment providers should not only consider the positive aspects of mobile payments but also the negative aspects of cash payment when encouraging the continuance usage of mobile payments to customers.

Originality/value
This study is among the first to empirically test the effect of unfavorable attitudes toward cash payment on the continuing use of mobile payment. Specifically, the research extends the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology by adding the push–pull-mooring model to enhance the explanatory power.
Viewpoint: Visibilising Care in the Academy: (Re)Performing Academic Mothering in the Transformative Moment of COVID‐19
Authors: Gilbert Emilee , Pascoe‐Leahy Carla 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThe effects of COVID‐19 have been profoundly felt across higher education as across broader society. In particular, the pandemic has revealed that many of our most stubbornly entrenched inequalities do not simply follow gendered fault lines, but rather care fault lines. In this article, we adopt a maternal epistemology and collaborative witnessing to outline the disruption that academic mothers have experienced during the pandemic. However, we argue that this disruption is not simply obstructive to academic mothers and other caregivers. Rather, COVID‐19 has provided a potentially transformative moment for the visibility and normalisation of care in the academy. It has forced the complex negotiation of paid work and care work that academic mothers must constantly manage into the spotlight. The pandemic has provoked an opportunity for a different performance of mothering in the academy; one that does not require us to invisibilise our care to be valued. This (re)performance and revaluation has the potential to reform the cultural landscapes of the academy, towards spaces in which care is reimagined as not simply an encumberment but also an enrichment.

AbstractPolychlorinated dibenzo‐p‐dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) in various foods continuously concern the public. Pork and its byproducts, especially from Yorkshire pigs, are the largest meat food consumed by the general population in China. This study aims to investigate the distribution of PCDD/Fs in different tissues of Yorkshire pigs to understand their bioaccumulation. Yorkshire pigs were fed a known amount of PCDD/Fs through fly ash. PCDD/Fs were determined by isotope dilution method with a gas chromatography‐high resolution mass spectrometer. The liver had the highest concentration levels (2041.33 pg/g lipid) and toxic equivalents values (69.14 pg/g lipid), followed by the spleen and lung, and the lowest ones in the brain. The liver also had the highest bioaccumulation of PCDD/Fs, and this level was considerably higher than that of other tissues.This study showed a strong accumulation capacity of the liver for polychlorinated dibenzo‐p‐dioxins and dibenzofurans under short‐term exposure conditions, suggesting that the liver is a more sensitive tissue for monitoring PCDD/Fs in food safety risk monitoring.Practical ApplicationThis paper may help the consumer in making food choices to minimize the exposure risk to Polychlorinated dibenzo‐p‐dioxins and dibenzofurans.
Influences of rurality on small business owner mental well‐being in regional NSW
Authors: Simmons Peter , Dalton Hazel 
Published: October 2022

AbstractObjectiveTo explore the influences of rurality on small business owner mental well‐being and approaches to managing stress and mental well‐being.DesignSemistructured interviews with small businesspeople. Concepts of salutogenesis and pathogenesis were used to interpret rurality influences on business and mental well‐being. A stress‐coping framework was used to categorise approaches to managing mental well‐being.SettingCentral Western New South Wales.ParticipantsEleven female and male rural small businesspeople across sectors, including farming, allied health, beauty care and retail businesses.Main Outcome MeasuresInterviewee descriptions of experiences of small business and rurality and approaches to managing mental well‐being.FindingsRurality influenced mental well‐being in four main ways: Business integration with community and owner identity; Visibility and being known; Different financial pressures; and Options for specialised support and casual relief. Rurality can be salutogenic and pathogenic, depending on circumstances, and pressures arising from rurality may differ for ‘locals’ and recent arrivals. High visibility in a small community can lead to a satisfying sense of belonging and connection. It can also create unwanted feelings of obligation and being watched. Most commonly the interviewees used emotional supports or distraction to adapt to stressors. This may be due to limited options to change or disengage from stressors in rural contexts.ConclusionRurality brings its own benefits and challenges to small businesspeople's mental well‐being. Given the immense contributions of small business to rural society and economies, investments in understanding and supporting the mental well‐being of rural small businesspeople should be a high priority for communities and all levels of government.
Dynamic liver preservation: Are we still missing pieces of the puzzle?
Authors: Blondeel Joris , Monbaliu Diethard , Gilbo Nicholas 
Published: October 2022

AbstractTo alleviate the persistent shortage of donor livers, high‐risk liver grafts are increasingly being considered for liver transplantation. Conventional preservation with static cold storage falls short in protecting these high‐risk livers from ischemia–reperfusion injury, as evident from higher rates of post‐transplant complications such as early allograft dysfunction and ischemic cholangiopathy. Moreover, static cold storage does not allow for a functional assessment of the liver prior to transplantation. To overcome these limitations, dynamic strategies of liver preservation have been proposed, designed to provide a protective effect while allowing pre‐transplant functional assessment. In this review, we discuss how different dynamic preservation strategies exert their effects, where we stand in assessing liver function and what challenges are lying ahead.
Numerical and experimental investigation of a lighthouse tip drainage cannula used in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation

Published: October 2022

AbstractBackgroundExtracorporeal membrane oxygenation is a life‐saving therapy used in case of acute respiratory/circulatory failure. Exposure of blood to non‐physiological surfaces and high shear stresses is related to hemolytic damage and platelet activation. A detailed knowledge of the fluid dynamics of the components under different scenarios is thus paramount to assess the thrombogenicity of the circuit.MethodsAn investigation of the flow structures developing in a conventional lighthouse tip (single‐staged) drainage cannula was performed with cross‐validated computational fluid dynamics and particle image velocimetry. The aim was to quantify the variation in drainage performance and stress levels induced by different fluid models, hematocrit and vessel‐to‐cannula flow rate ratios.ResultsThe results showed that the 90° bends of the flow through the side holes created a recirculation zone inside the cannula which increased residence time. Flow structures resembling a jet in a crossflow were also observed. The use of different hematocrits did not significantly affect drainage performances. The most proximal set of holes drained the largest fraction of fluid. However, different flow rate ratios altered the flow rate drained through the tip. The use of 2D data led to a 50% underestimation of shear rate levels. In the drainage zone the non‐Newtonian behavior of blood was less relevant.ConclusionsThe most proximal holes drained the largest amount of fluid. The flow features and distribution of flow rates among the holes showed little dependence on the hematocrit. The non‐Newtonian behavior of blood had a small influence on the dynamics of the flow.

Published: October 2022

SummaryBackgroundThe Inflammatory Bowel Disease Symptom Inventory (IBDSI) is a validated patient self‐reported measure used to assess IBD disease activity. There have yet to be more granular analyses on which symptoms are most associated with active disease.AimsTo assess the prevalence of symptoms, and to examine which are most associated with disease activity as measured by a symptom index and objective measure of inflammationMethodsThe Manitoba Living with IBD Study is a prospective study of 156 participants with confirmed IBD who completed bi‐weekly IBDSI. Relative risks (RR) and predictive values (NPV and PPV) were reported for each symptom to predict active disease defined as active IBDSI, self‐reported flare and elevated faecal calprotectin (FCAL) (>250 μg/g). Analyses were undertaken following stratification based on sex, and disease type (Crohn's disease [CD] and ulcerative colitis [UC]).ResultsIn total, 69.2% were female; 64.7% had CD. Fatigue was the most prevalent symptom in both inactive and active disease, across all three disease measures (IBDSI: 24.5% and 75.1%, self‐reported flare: 42.2% and 72.2%, FCAL: 46.0% and 60.6%). The absence of fatigue had a high NPV for active IBDSI and self‐reporting a flare in both CD and UC. Urgency had a consistently strong NPV and RR across all three disease measures in both IBD subtypes and sexes. The number of loose/liquid bowel movements predicted elevated FCAL in UC (RR males = 3.5, 95% CI 1.2–9.9, RR females = 1.8, 95% CI 1.2–2.7), as did blood in stool in UC females (RR = 1.8, 95% CI 1.2–2.7). In males with CD, excessive bowel gas (RR = 2.0, 95% CI 1.2–3.4) and urgency (RR = 3.9, 95% CI 1.6–9.3) best predicted an elevated FCAL. No symptom was strongly predictive of an elevated FCAL in CD females.ConclusionsUrgency was consistently associated with disease activity, irrespective of the disease measure. Fatigue was the most prevalent symptom irrespective of disease activity measure. Individual symptoms have different impacts on subjective (IBDSI) and objective (FCAL) measures in IBD.
Engaging studies of children in the Bible: What is going on and why you should care
Authors: Parker Julie Faith 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThis article strengthens the relationship between childhood studies and biblical studies by introducing the field of childist biblical criticism to other child‐focused disciplines. A brief overview explains why studying children in the Bible is critical for understanding this ancient text and its world. Most of the article focuses on the tools used for gathering evidence and the methodologies used in childist scholarship. Discussion of the terms ‘childist’ and ‘childism’ then urges adoption of both terms as conveying positive meaning. Throughout the discussion and explicitly in the conclusion, this article shows what childist biblical studies contribute to the wider movement of childism and securing children's rights.
Children and families with no recourse to public funds: Learning from case reviews
Authors: Jolly Andrew , Gupta Anna 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThis paper reviews 26 reports into deaths and serious abuse of children in families who were subject to the No Recourse to Public Funds (NRPF) rule. Our analysis illustrates vulnerabilities caused by exclusionary policies, exacerbating social deprivation and isolation experienced by the children and families and making it more difficult for professionals to respond in ways which safeguarded children's welfare. Drawing upon a social model for protecting children that requires recognition of the social determinants of harm and the economic, social and cultural barriers faced by families, we examine the experiences of children and families with NRPF who were the subject of a serious case review, and the responses of agencies responsible for safeguarding child welfare. We conclude with recommendations for practices aimed at promoting the rights and well‐being of children and families subject to NRPF rules.

AbstractAimThe aim of this work is to describe a protocol and assess the feasibility of harvesting and analysing the mesocolic apical fragment (MAF) for the presence of central lymph node (LN) metastasis and extra lymphatic free tumour cells in a random subgroup extracted from a cohort of complete mesocolic excision colectomies with central vascular ligation.MethodForty‐seven patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer were included. A 2/2 cm pyramid of tissue was cut around the central tie and sent for pathological examination. The MAF was sectioned into 16 slices. High‐definition images were taken from the slices which were merged into a panoramic three‐dimensional image of the MAF. The distribution of LNs in the MAF was quantified. Immunohistochemistry staining for cytokeratin 14 was used to identify isolated tumour cells and micrometastases in the extranodal tissue.ResultsNo tumoural cells migrating through the apical zone, outside of the LNs, were identified. Margins of resection, mesocolic tissue and LNs were all negative in the subgroup of ultrastaged MAFs. The number of examined central LNs varied between 0 and 24, with positive MAF LNs being identified only in pN2 stages. The rate of positive apical LNs in our cohort was 4.2% (n = 2).ConclusionsThe MAF can be easily extracted from standard specimens, allowing for accurate analysis of lymphatic and extra‐nodal tumour cells on the central resection margins, in central LNs and in the apical mesocolic tissue. Future research on larger cohorts is required to establish if analysing the MAF has an impact on patient staging, prognosis and management.
Legal access to alcohol and automobile accidents: Potential interactive effects of alcohol and drug consumption
Authors: Depew Briggs , Meyer Jacob 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThe combination of drugged and drunk driving is an important policy topic as some states and countries have liberalized prohibitions on substance use to varying degrees. In this study, we analyze the effect of legal access to alcohol on suspected drug impaired accidents. We find that accidents with suspected drug impairment significantly increase when a driver gains legal access to alcohol at age 21. Our findings suggest that even if alcohol and drug consumption are substitutes, as much of the literature suggests, potential interactive effects may offset the reduction in decreased alcohol consumption from drugs.

AbstractType 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) increases the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease (AD), which has been proposed to be driven by an abnormal neuroinflammatory response affecting cognitive function. However, the impact of T2DM on hippocampal function and synaptic integrity during aging has not been investigated. Here, we investigated the effects of aging in T2DM on AD‐like pathology using the leptin receptor‐deficient db/db mouse model of T2DM. Our results indicate that adult T2DM mice exhibited impaired spatial acquisition in the Morris water maze (MWM). Morphological analysis showed an age‐dependent neuronal loss in the dentate gyrus. We found that astrocyte density was significantly decreased in all regions of the hippocampus in T2DM mice. Our analysis showed that microglial activation was increased in the CA3 and the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus in an age‐dependent manner in T2DM mice. However, the expression of presynaptic marker protein (synaptophysin) and the postsynaptic marker protein [postsynaptic density protein 95 (PSD95)] was unchanged in the hippocampus of adult T2DM mice. Interestingly, synaptophysin and PSD95 expression significantly decreased in the hippocampus of aged T2DM mice, suggesting an impaired hippocampal synaptic integrity. Cytokine profiling analysis displayed a robust pro‐inflammatory cytokine profile in the hippocampus of aged T2DM mice compared with the younger cohort, outlining the role of aging in exacerbating the neuroinflammatory profile in the diabetic state. Our results suggest that T2DM impairs cognitive function by promoting neuronal loss in the dentate gyrus and triggering an age‐dependent deterioration in hippocampal synaptic integrity, associated with an aberrant neuroinflammatory response.
Labor unemployment risk and firm risk
Authors: Devos Erik , Rahman Shofiqur 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThis paper examines the effect of labor unemployment risk on firm risk. Using unemployment insurance benefits as a proxy for unemployment risk, we find an economically significant positive relation between unemployment risk and firm risk. This positive relation is more pronounced for firms that are more labor‐intensive, have a higher layoff propensity and are more financially constrained. While existing literature that employs corporate policy measures such as debt and cash holdings suggests an opposite relationship, our paper presents evidence that the effects stemming from earnings management, earnings quality and reporting quality appear to dominate.
Genomic differentiation in Pacific cod usingPool‐Seq

Published: October 2022

AbstractPatterns of genetic differentiation across the genome can provide insight into selective forces driving adaptation. We used pooled whole genome sequencing, gene annotation, and environmental covariates to evaluate patterns of genomic differentiation and to investigate mechanisms responsible for divergence among proximate Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus) populations from the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands and more distant Washington Coast cod. Samples were taken from eight spawning locations, three of which were replicated to estimate consistency in allele frequency estimation. A kernel smoothing moving weighted average of relative divergence (FST) identified 11 genomic islands of differentiation between the Aleutian Islands and Bering Sea samples. In some islands of differentiation, there was also elevated absolute divergence (dXY) and evidence for selection, despite proximity and potential for gene flow. Similar levels of absolute divergence (dXY) but roughly double the relative divergence (FST) were observed between the distant Bering Sea and Washington Coast samples. Islands of differentiation were much smaller than the four large inversions among Atlantic cod ecotypes. Islands of differentiation between the Bering Sea and Aleutian Island were associated with SNPs from five vision system genes, which can be associated with feeding, predator avoidance, orientation, and socialization. We hypothesize that islands of differentiation between Pacific cod from the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands provide evidence for adaptive differentiation despite gene flow in this commercially important marine species.
