Financial inclusion for women empowerment in South Asian countries
Authors: Aziz Faisal , Sheikh Salman Masood , Shah Ijaz Hussain 
Published: March 2022

Purpose
This paper aims to address the issues of Asian countries toward why females are discouraged and more likely to be removed from the formal financial system than males. Further, whether there is any connection between religion and women’s financial inclusion is also addressed.

Design/methodology/approach
This paper explores gender disparities in the use of structured financial services through multilevel models tailored to the individual. The data from 2004 to 2017 have been used for eight South Asian countries, including Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Maldives, Nepal and Bhutan. We used a multilevel modeling methodology to estimate the impact of the socio-economic climate on women’s financial inclusion while controlling for individual-level features, with all control variables included, the two-level logistic regression model used for this study.

Findings
The results of this study demonstrate that sex appears to be strongly correlated with the usage of financial services. The study also found that in nations where religious restrictions limit women’s willingness to work for a living, they are less likely than males to own a bank account. However, through legislation and regulations, countries that encourage gender equality in the labor market and have effective regulatory mechanisms to maintain these initiatives appear to have more financially active women.

Practical implications
This research advises that government authorities strengthen women’s empowerment in South Asian countries.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first paper that explains the linkage between financial inclusion and women empowerment and will contribute to existing knowledge.
Cross-sectoral collaboration: comparing complex child service delivery systems
Authors: Blanken Mariëlle , Mathijssen Jolanda , van Nieuwenhuizen Chijs , Raab Jörg , van Oers Hans 
Published: March 2022

PurposeTo help ensure that children with social and behavioral health problems get the support services they need, organizations collaborate in cross-sectoral networks. In this article, the authors explore and compare the structure of these complex child service delivery networks in terms of differentiation (composition) and integration (interconnection). In particular, the authors investigate the structure of client referral and identify which organizations are most prominent within that network structure and could therefore fulfill a coordinating role.Design/methodology/approachThe authors used a comparative case study approach and social network analysis on three interorganizational networks consisting of 65 to 135 organizations within the Dutch child service delivery system. Semi-structured interviews with the network managers were conducted, and an online questionnaire was sent out to the representatives of all network members.FindingsThe networks are similarly differentiated into 11 sectors with various tasks. Remarkably, network members have contact with an average of 20–26 organizations, which is a fairly high number to be handled successfully. In terms of integration, the authors found a striking diversity in the structures of client referral and not all organizations with a gatekeeper task hold central positions.Originality/valueDue to the scarcity of comparative whole network research in the field, the strength of this study is a deeper understanding of the differentiation and integration of complex child service delivery systems. These insights are crucial in order to deliver needed services and to minimize service silos and fragmentation.
Performance of Islamic banks based on maqāṣid al-sharīʿah: a systematic review of current research
Authors: Mahyudin Wan A'tirah , Rosman Romzie 
Published: March 2022

Purpose
This study aims to systematically explore the approaches used by previous studies in measuring the performance of Islamic banks based on maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah.

Design/methodology/approach
The data obtained in this study were derived from a review of empirical literature based on 15 articles published between 2012 and 2019. The sample articles on the performance of Islamic banks based on maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah were located by searching keywords in the most relevant social science research databases such as Scopus, Web of Science and EBSCOhost.

Findings
The emerging trend in measuring the performance of Islamic banks from the maqāṣid perspective highlighted that there is insufficient research on the determinants of Islamic bank performance.

Practical implications
The reviews undertaken in this paper will resolve the literature gaps in the area of maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah and Islamic banks, as this study serves as a reference for scholars, academicians and interested researchers in Islamic banking and finance studies to pursue more research in this area.

Social implications
Performance measurement based on maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah enhances society’s confidence in supporting Islamic banking practices, particularly among the Muslim community. Islamic banks can also be exemplary financial intermediaries supporting fair and equitable financial systems for the entire community.

Originality/value
This paper is original in its nature, considering that understanding the relationship between maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah and the performance of Islamic banks is limited. This paper reveals a literature gap that can be explored by future studies theoretically and practically.
Does fear of COVID-19 undermine career optimism? A time-lagged quantitative inquiry of non-managerial employees
Authors: Ahmad Bilal , Bilal Saba 
Published: March 2022

PurposeThis study intends to examine the impact of a fear of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on workers' career optimism via perceived job insecurity among non-managerial working restaurant employees.Design/methodology/approachTime-lagged quantitative data were collected in two waves from 316 non-managerial on-job restaurant employees. Structural equation modeling technique was applied to examine the measurement and structural model.FindingsThe study showed that workers' fear of COVID-19 positively impacts their job insecurity. Further, the study found that increasing level of job insecurity depletes workers' career optimism—an outlook of their future career prospects.Research limitations/implicationsThe study suggests organizations should work to make employees feel secure in terms of their job continuity and career progression. Eventually, this would support employees in shielding themselves against possible resource loss (e.g. career optimism) due to pandemic crises.Originality/valueExtant literature has tested the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on employees' workplace attitudes and behaviors such as job satisfaction (e.g. Bajrami et al., 2021) and safety performance (e.g. Kim et al., 2021). However, little has been researched on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on employees' future career outlook, particularly of non-essential workers in the hospitality industry. To the best of the author's knowledge, an explicit examination of the impact of COVID-19 fear on career optimism has not been conducted previously. Hence, this study will not only be a valuable contribution in the literature of career management, but will also yield important practical implications.
The early and later-life care experiences of individuals using short-term homeless services: an attachment-informed interpretative phenomenological analysis
Authors: Howe Lara , Grey Ben , Dickerson Paul 
Published: March 2022

Purpose
This paper aims to explore the care experiences of individuals using short-term homeless services in the UK, who identify as being neglected in childhood. The study endeavours to give voice to the subjective experiences of homeless individuals in these specific domains and optimise therapeutic and housing services provided to individuals from this sub-population.

Design/methodology/approach
Semi-structured interviews containing elements of the “Adult Attachment Interview” (AAI) were conducted with eight individuals who had experienced childhood neglect and used short-term homeless services in adulthood. Interviews were analysed using an attachment informed version of Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (AI-IPA).

Findings
Analysis parsed participants’ data into four master themes: “Everything was wrecking all the time”: Unsafe spaces; “Kind of pretending I was […] dead”: Strategies for survival; “My mum didn’t believe me”: Traumatic self-shaping; and “My first reckoning with self”: Restoration & Recovery. Together, themes indicated that participants had undergone traumatic early and later-life care experiences but were engaged in idiosyncratic recovery journeys. The meanings that participants derived from their past experiences of neglect were nuanced and interacted with their current relationships in complex and highly personal ways.

Originality/value
By applying an innovative methodology to a predominantly unchartered empirical area, this project extends existing research and presents a meaningful set of results. Implications for the delivery of short-term homeless services and therapeutic practitioners are discussed.
Leveraging strategies of recurring non-mega sporting events for host community development: a multiple-case study approach
Authors: Oshimi Daichi , Yamaguchi Shiro 
Published: March 2022

PurposeThis study extends the event leverage model and applies the community development theory to explore how event managers can leverage recurring, non-mega sporting events for sustainable socio-economic development.Design/methodology/approachThe authors conduct a survey comprising 6 semi-structured interviews by targeting recurring participatory events in Japan with an average 37.7 years of history.FindingsThe model highlights the strategic objectives (community needs) for socio-economic community development by attracting tourists during both event and event-free periods. Social development comprises three factors: social capital, sport participation and health promotion. Economic development comprises two factors: event revenue and tourism revenue. To achieve strategic objectives, the uniqueness of the event, good relationships with the media and locals, a platform to enjoy the local culture and sport event infrastructure are identified as means (community assets). Furthermore, locals and media are added to the model as key stakeholders, an additional category of the event leverage model.Practical implicationsEvent managers need to make efforts to identify local resources and should optimize the event to attract participants and tourists for socio-economic development. In particular, local experience, local products, local culture and good relationship with locals could be key resources to produce sustainable benefits for the local city. The proposed model adding locals and media as key stakeholders could be useful for other similar contexts/future events aimed at socio-economic benefits for community development.Originality/valueThe proposed model extends the theoretical explanations in the literature on leveraging strategies through events to the perspective of the community development theory. Specifically, this study sheds light on community needs and assets for community development in the context of recurring non-mega sporting events.
Neurological music therapy for physical and psychological well-being among older people in the USA
Authors: Sharma Maanas 
Published: March 2022

Purpose
In the USA, the well-being of older people is increasingly precarious. There is a paucity of research into methods of care outside of traditional, costly, intensive methods. Moreover, any literature that does so fails to connect different fields of study or aspects of well-being. This paper aims to identify alternate, cheaper methods to traditional care methods that also take a more holistic approach to older peoples’ lives.

Design/methodology/approach
Connecting research conducted by gerontologists, psychologists and neurologists, and framing the results through Census data and economic research, the author proposes music therapy interventions for older people.

Findings
Music therapy has significant benefits on physical, cognitive and psychological well-being. Moreover, these treatment methods are significantly cheaper than traditional methods and are even more effective in specific cases. Specifically, though, the research methods reveal that music therapy that engages participants formally, is group-based and uses participants’ preferred music is the most potent form of therapy to achieve the stated goals. Implementing such interventions across the country could be easily done by coordinated efforts by legislatures, administrative agencies, community groups and health-care infrastructure.

Originality/value
As opposed to varied methods used, which undermine the broad application of results, research should primarily use the proposed three-pronged approach as “music therapy” in future investigation. Moreover, proposing music therapy as a valuable alternative in some cases of elderly care may alleviate some stress on future American health-care resources.
Mental health, resilience and existential literature
Authors: Brady Alison M 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
In this paper, I will begin by charting some of the conceptions of mental health in young people today, paying particular attention to recent mental health education policies in England. I will focus on the concept of ‘resilience’ as central to these policies, and how this represents an impoverished understanding of mental health, what it means to ‘overcome’ mental health issues, and what, in fact, might constitute an ‘appropriate’ response to the world we (now) live in. In order to explore an alternative conception of mental health in light of this, I turn to an example from existentialist literature—Dostoevsky's Notes from underground. On the surface, this novel appears to be an account of a man suffering from a mental breakdown. Ultimately, however, I argue that texts such as this enable us to explore more fully what it is to experience mental health issues, and that also point us to the fundamental vulnerabilities and uncertainties that are an intimate part of being human.
Expressing an interest in mental health education
Authors: Skilbeck Adrian 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
Despite the convergence of approaches to mental health in schools, criticisms have been levelled about the triviality of mindfulness and the reluctance of teachers to encourage more personal expression in the classroom, relying instead on a mixture of ancient practices and modern cognitive behavioural therapy. Furthermore, there are still real problems with self-harming, and the COVID-19 pandemic has placed huge strains on mental health services for the young. It would suggest the language of mental health education is inadequate for the needs of the young as it fails to provide them with the means to voice their experiences. The discussion first turns to Biesta's idea of ‘soul’ and how our contemporary usages capture something of the integrity of mind and body that is absent in speaking in terms of ‘mental’ and ‘physical’ health. Furthermore, ‘soul’ functions as a means of expressing what matters to us. This directs us towards the need in mental health education to express our experience of the world and our being within it as well as acquiring ‘the tools’ we need to manage our mental health. What, therefore, matters to us is our life with words and having an authoritative voice in our experience. For this reason, I turn to the work of Stanley Cavell as the philosopher for whom such concerns were central. Applying these insights to mental health education, I will argue that opportunities for more personal expression of the experience of mental health need to be created rather than avoided.
Enlightenment as perfection, perfection as enlightenment? Kant on thinking for oneself and perfecting oneself
Authors: Baumann Peter 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
Kant's views about the nature and value of enlightenment have been discussed very much since 1784, and without ever losing any of their relevance and importance. I will discuss a topic that has not been discussed quite that extensively: Kant's conception of enlightenment as it relates to the idea of perfection (Vollkommenheit) in particular. Is the project of enlightenment also a project of perfection (and vice versa), and if yes, in what sense and to what degree? My aim is twofold here: not just to present a sketch of Kant's views but also to do so in the light of contemporary, systematic questions and ideas concerning the idea of perfection.
Metagenomic analysis suggests unique gut‐microbiota composition and GH family constitution of Macrotermes annandalei

Published: March 2022

AbstractEnergy supply is a major concern of human survival and development, and that concern demands new sources of renewable clean energy. Cellulose, as a renewable energy material is affected by low activity and high cost of cellulose. Studies of cellulose degrading bacterial microbiota in insect intestine have revealed that these potential microbes can be used as a rich resource of cellulose degrading strains. Here, the present study involves metagenomic sequencing of intestinal microbes of Macrotermes annandalei by Illumina PE150 and a total of 401,190 scaftigs were obtained. Open Reading frame (ORF) species annotation showed that the largest proportion of them belong to the phylum of Bacteroides, followed by Protobacteia, Firmicutes and Mucoromycota. Mapping to the CAZy database indicates that 4,539 genes encoding of glycoside hydrolase belongs to 109 distinct CAZy families. The results provide a theoretical basis for exploring new candidate bacteria for efficient cellulose degradation to obtain high cellulose resource yield.
It’s not about the errors, it’s about the learning: How the Royal College of Radiologists has developed a Radiology Events and Learning process in the United Kingdom
Authors: Smith Jonathan Timothy 
Published: March 2022

SummaryThe Royal College of Radiologists (RCR) is based in the United Kingdom but is a global organisation with members and fellows worldwide. In this invited article, the chair of the RCR Radiology Events and Learning (REAL) panel recounts his experience in looking at radiological errors. He starts with his personal work auditing his own mistakes as a junior consultant, describes what he learned in his departmental role in a large teaching hospital running a Radiology Events and Learning Meeting (REALM) and gives an overview of some of the work done over the last two decades by the RCR. This includes publishing national guidelines which set standards for running a REALM, setting up the REAL panel which produces a quarterly newsletter of cases from RCR members, and running an annual conference to share information with local radiology departments around the country. A review of the literature describing the drivers for this work and looking at the parallels with industry lies alongside the practical tips he found useful which he hopes would be helpful to anyone setting up their own departmental errors or discrepancy meeting.
Quality indicators for radiation oncology
Authors: Harden Susan V , Chiew Kim‐Lin , Millar Jeremy , Vinod Shalini K 
Published: March 2022

AbstractQuality Indicators, based on clinical practice guidelines, have been used in medicine and within oncology to measure quality of care for over twenty years. However, radiation oncology quality indicators are sparse. This article describes the background to the development of current national and international, general and tumour site‐specific radiation oncology quality indicators in use. We explore challenges and opportunities to expand their routine prospective collection and feedback to help drive improvements in the quality of care received by people undergoing radiation therapy.
Evidence‐based funding of new imaging applications and technologies by Medicare in Australia: How it happens and how it can be improved
Authors: Hill Hayley , Mittal Ruchi , Merlin Tracy 
Published: March 2022

AbstractBackgroundThe Medical Services Advisory Committee (MSAC) is responsible for the assessment of medical imaging tests proposed for public funding. A number of factors related to the clinical or cost effectiveness of an imaging service may impact on the funding decision.ObjectiveTo determine what evidentiary and economic factors impact most on MSAC recommendations for the funding of imaging tests.MethodsInformation was extracted on health technology assessments (HTAs) of medical imaging tests published on the MSAC website, with a funding decision between 2006 to July 2021. Imaging tests with diagnostic, staging or screening indications were eligible. Data were extracted in test‐indication pairs and included data on evidence quality, quantity, consistency of findings, cost‐effectiveness and financial impact. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed with adjustments for clustered data.ResultsOverall, 42 imaging test applications to MSAC were included, representing 91 clinical indications. Most were diagnostic tests. The most common evidentiary concerns reported by MSAC were limited evidence (36%), low quality evidence (26%), and applicability of the data (22%). The reference standard for diagnostic accuracy was imperfect or not appropriate in 25% of the indications. In regression analyses, uncertainty about cost‐effectiveness of an imaging service predicted most negative funding decisions.ConclusionsThe single biggest contributor to a negative funding decision by MSAC was uncertainty about the cost‐effectiveness of the imaging service. This was likely driven by uncertainty regarding the impact on patient health. HTAs that are able to demonstrate the clinical utility of a new imaging service are more likely to publicly funded.
