The ultimate escape: escapism, sports fan passion and procrastination across two cultures
Authors: Astakhova Marina , Leonard Ethan B. , Doty D. Harold , Yang Jie , Yu Mingchuan 
Published: April 2022

Purpose
This study aims to examine escapism as the explanatory mechanism that can account for distinct outcomes of harmonious and obsessive sports fan passion among US and Chinese fans.

Design/methodology/approach
The study uses cross-cultural data collected among sports fans in the USA and China. Using structural equation modeling and PROCESS model, the authors test the mediating role of escapism and the moderating role of indulgence on the relationships between sports fan passion and procrastination.

Findings
The authors found that positive escapism mediates the relationship between harmonious sports fan passion and procrastination, whereas negative escapism mediates the relationship between obsessive sports fan passion and procrastination. While individual-level indulgence was not a significant moderator, post hoc analyses revealed that the interaction of indulgence and uncertainty avoidance played a moderating role.

Research limitations/implications
The use of sports fan samples from both the USA and China enables a cross-cultural comparison of the proposed model, thereby extending the model’s generalizability. By advancing the dual model of escapism, the authors hope to stimulate a research dialogue that identifies more nuanced (both positive and negative) predictors and outcomes of passion for an activity and escapism in the broader context of other passion-inducing activities (e.g., Internet use, work, etc.).

Practical implications
Marketers promoting sports events can use this study's results to highlight the benefits of harmonious sports fan passion in terms of positive escapism and reduced procrastination. Organizations promoting sports fandom need to also be aware that sports fans can have obsessive passion for sports that can lead to procrastination. Therefore, it is important to be vigilant and distinguish between “healthy” and “unhealthy” passion early to avoid “unhealthy” passion turning into negative escapism and by extension, procrastination.

Social implications
Socially responsible marketers should understand a potential negative effect that obsessive sports fan passion may entail and prevent or minimize its negative consequences.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study that explains why sports fan passion can(not) be associated with procrastination. It does so by using the dual escapism as the explanatory mechanism linking harmonious and obsessive sports fan passion and procrastination.

Authors: Shah Ijaz Hussain , Aish Kinza , Kashif Islam 
Published: April 2022

Purpose
This research aims to examine the impact of money laundering (ML) and corruption on the asset quality of conventional and Islamic banks.

Design/methodology/approach
The current study used the data of conventional and Islamic banks of Pakistan from 2012 to 2018. In this study, we used fully modified ordinary least squares, dynamic ordinary least squares and pooled ordinary least square methods to analyze the data.

Findings
The results found that corruption and ML positively affect the conventional banking non-performing loans (NPLs). In contrast, corruption and ML harm the Islamic bank’s loan portfolio quality.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, the relationship between corruption, ML and NPLs in conventional and Islamic banks of Pakistan are examined for the first time.

Practical Implications
According to the study’s findings, bank authorities should establish an effective method for monitoring loan activities and developing new and innovative products in Islamic banks. Additionally, the Pakistani government needs to improve anti-corruption and anti-ML policies to earn investors’ trust.

Authors: Sharma Sarika , Vaidya Anagha , Deepika Kumari 
Published: April 2022

Purpose
In today’s dynamic situation, innumerable challenges are posited in the education sector because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Higher educational institutes (HEIs) are compelled to adopt digital technologies and technology-mediated learning in the teaching-learning processes. The purpose of this paper is to understand the factors affecting learning effectiveness, learning satisfaction and the mediating role of prerecorded videos from the learners’ perspective.

Design/methodology/approach
A self-designed structured questionnaire based on previous similar studies is adopted as a survey instrument. It consists of 22 questions to address the five constructs of the proposed hypothesized conceptual model, developed for the study. Data of 311 students from HEIs of Maharashtra state in India were collected. Confirmatory factor analysis is carried out to test the model fitness, reliability and validity, and structural equation modeling is applied to conduct path analysis and hypotheses testing of the model.

Findings
Hypotheses testing reveals that perceived usefulness (PU) significantly affects the perceived learning effectiveness, which again affects the learning satisfaction of the students. In addition, perceived ease of use affects the PU as suggested in the technology acceptance model. The prerecorded videos have a moderating role to play in the computer self-efficacy and the perceived learning effectiveness of the students. This research will provide meaningful acumen to enhance the overall learning process among students in urban as well as rural India.

Originality/value
This study explores the technology-mediated learning during the unexpected and dynamic situations of the COVID-19 pandemic in the context of higher education in India. For sustainable use of technology-assisted learning, educators must understand the key factors that influence students’ learning effectiveness and satisfaction. The research outcomes will lead toward developing the human capacities, as the prerecorded videos at the HEIs of India will provide new approaches for effectively adopting digital technologies and technology-mediated learning.

Authors: Hong Li , Wang Yewei , Qiu Zhongchao , Cai Jianxian , Yao Zhenjing , Gao Zhitao 
Published: April 2022

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to solve the problem of weak low-frequency vibration measurement capability of FBG accelerometer, and propose a FBG accelerometer based on cross reed.

Design/methodology/approach
This study proposed a new type FBG acceleration sensor based on cross reeds. When the sensor vibrates, the mass block in the new structure rotates around the center of the cross reeds, which could eliminate the impact of friction, reduce the natural frequency of the sensor and improve its sensitivity. This study theoretically analyzed the impact of several structural parameters on the sensitivity and natural frequency of the proposed sensor and used COMSOL to perform static stress analysis and modal simulation; in this study, a test system was built to test the performance of the proposed sensor.

Findings
The test results revealed that the proposed sensor had a natural frequency of 94 Hz; within a low-frequency range of 1–65 Hz, its sensitivity response was flat, the dynamic range was 81.89 dB, the sensitivity was 243.59 pm/g and the linearity was 99.97%. The cross reeds effectively strengthened the structural stability, the relative standard deviation of the repeatability of the sensor was 0.89% and the transverse crosstalk in the working frequency band was −26.97 dB.

Originality/value
This study innovatively proposes the structure of the two symmetrical cross reeds, which can improve sensitivity by eliminating the influence of friction, and the structure of cross reeds can effectively suppress the influence of lateral crosstalk. The proposed sensor can realize real-time accurate measurement of low-frequency weak vibration signals.

Abstract

Soil properties and soil microbial communities can greatly affect plant communities, especially in disturbed ecosystems. However, their relative contribution to the final effect on plants has rarely been assessed.

We manipulated the soil microbial community in microcosms by inoculating sterilized soils originating from preserved species‐rich meadow and a restored meadow with a high and low diversity of microbial inoculum (manipulated by the dilution of microbial community extract) from those soils in full factorial manner, yielding eight treatments (2 soil origins × 2 inoculum sources × 2 levels of inoculum diversity).

In general, the biomass of plant meadow specialists (Filipendula vulgaris, Phleum phleoides, and Prunella grandiflora) was greater with the preserved meadow inoculum than with the restored meadow inoculum but tended to be greater in the restored meadow soil than in the preserved meadow soil. Two meadow generalists (Festuca rubra and Centaurea jacea) were not significantly affected by soil origin, inoculum source, or inoculum diversity, but the third generalist Plantago media produced greater biomass in the preserved meadow soil than in the restored meadow soil.

Total above‐ground biomass was not affected by the treatments, but total below‐ground biomass was greater with microbial inoculum from the preserved meadow than from the restored meadow, and this increase was greater in the restored meadow soil than in the preserved meadow soil.

Our results indicate strong responses of the preserved meadow specialists to the soil microbial community, which may explain why they are rare in the meadows that were restored following agricultural use.

Published: April 2022

AbstractObjectivesTo explore the feasibility of two‐port robotic sleeve lobectomy using Stratafix sutures for central lung tumors, and to summarize the surgical techniques and clinical outcomes.MethodsWe retrospectively evaluated 15 consecutive patients who underwent robotic bronchial sleeve lobectomy, performed by a single surgeon between March 2021 and September 2021. A half‐continuous suture technique with two Stratafix sutures was used for bronchial anastomosis. The operative techniques and outcomes were analyzed.ResultsComplete resection was achieved in all patients undergoing different types of robotic bronchial sleeve lobectomy. There were no conversions to thoracotomy. The mean duration of surgery was 102.35 ± 46.31 min, mean time for bronchial anastomosis was 25.8 ± 15.2 min, mean blood loss was 64.71 ± 38.59 ml, and mean postoperative hospital stay was 4.76 ± 2.54 days. There was no death on follow‐up within 90 days after surgery.ConclusionsTwo‐port robotic bronchial sleeve lobectomy and the novel anastomotic technique are both feasible and safe for selected patients.
At‐risk alcohol users have disrupted valence discrimination during reward anticipation

Published: April 2022

AbstractAlcohol use disorder is characterised by disrupted reward learning, underpinned by dysfunctional cortico‐striatal reward pathways, although relatively little is known about the biology of reward processing in populations who engage in risky alcohol use. Cues that trigger reward anticipation can be categorized according to their learnt valence (i.e., positive vs. negative outcomes) and motivational salience (i.e., incentive vs. neutral cues). Separating EEG signals associated with these dimensions is challenging because of their inherent collinearity, but the recent application of machine learning methods to single EEG trials affords a solution. Here, the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) was used to quantify risky alcohol use, with participants split into high alcohol (HA) (n = 22, mean AUDIT score: 13.82) and low alcohol (LA) (n = 22, mean AUDIT score: 5.77) groups. We applied machine learning multivariate single‐trial classification to the electroencephalography (EEG) data collected during reward anticipation. The LA group demonstrated significant valence discrimination in the early stages of reward anticipation within the cue‐P3 time window (400–550 ms), whereas the HA group was insensitive to valence within this time window. Notably, the LA, but not the HA group demonstrated a relationship between single‐trial variability in the early valence component and reaction times for gain and loss trials. This study evidences disrupted hypoactive valence sensitivity in the HA group, revealing potential neurophysiological markers for risky drinking behaviours which place individuals at‐risk of adverse health events.
Two successive electrocardiograms of an old male with acute myocardial infarction: What on earth was going on?
Authors: Wang Xiaoqing , Chen Yongjun , Yang Xiaoyu , Yang Ling 
Published: April 2022

AbstractA 68‐year‐old male complained of a sudden 2‐h chest pain accompanied by dizziness and diaphoresis. His consciousness lost several times because of ventricular fibrillation attack. Emergent CAG showed proximal left anterior descending (LAD) occlusion, but two previous successive electrocardiograms established diagnoses of non‐ST‐elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and STEMI respectively, indicating that the patient had experienced acute subtotal occlusion of proximal LAD to total occlusion of the left main coronary trunk (LMT). It is vital to identify de Winter pattern associated with proximal LAD lesion in view of the potential circulatory collapse, fatal arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death from it.
Peripartum hysterectomy due to severe postpartum hemorrhage: A hospital‐based study

Published: April 2022

AbstractIntroductionA peripartum hysterectomy is typically performed as a lifesaving procedure in obstetrics to manage severe postpartum hemorrhage. Severe hemorrhages that lead to peripartum hysterectomies are mainly caused by uterine atony and placenta accreta spectrum disorders. In this study, we aimed to estimate the incidence, risk factors, causes and management of severe postpartum hemorrhage resulting in peripartum hysterectomies, and to describe the complications of the hysterectomies.Material and methodsEligible women had given birth at gestational week 23+0 or later and had a postpartum hemorrhage ≥1500 mL or a blood transfusion, due to postpartum hemorrhage, at Oslo University Hospital, Norway, between 2008 and 2017. Among the eligible women, this study included those who underwent a hysterectomy within the first 42 days after delivery. The Norwegian Medical Birth Registry provided the reference group. We used Poisson regression to estimate adjusted incidence rate ratios with 95% confidence intervals to identify clinical factors associated with peripartum hysterectomy.ResultsThe incidence of hysterectomies with severe postpartum hemorrhage was 0.44/1000 deliveries (42/96313). Among the women with severe postpartum hemorrhage, 1.6% ended up with a hysterectomy (42/2621). Maternal age ≥40, previous cesarean section, multiple pregnancy and placenta previa were associated with a significantly higher risk of hysterectomy. Placenta accreta spectrum disorders were the most frequent cause of hemorrhage that resulted in a hysterectomy (52%, 22/42) and contributed to most of the complications following the hysterectomy (11/15 women with complications).ConclusionsThe rate of peripartum hysterectomies at Oslo University Hospital was low, but was higher than previously reported from Norway. Risk factors included high maternal age, previous cesarean section, multiple pregnancy and placenta previa, well known risk factors for placenta accreta spectrum disorders and severe postpartum hemorrhage. Placenta accreta spectrum disorders were the largest contributor to hysterectomies and complications.
Direct and indirect effects of climate change on distribution and community composition of macrophytes in lentic systems
Authors: Lind Lovisa , Eckstein R. Lutz , Relyea Rick A. 
Published: April 2022

ABSTRACTMacrophytes are an important part of freshwater ecosystems and they have direct and indirect roles in keeping the water clear and providing structure and habitats for other aquatic organisms. Currently, climate change is posing a major threat to macrophyte communities by altering the many drivers that determine macrophyte abundance and composition. We synthesise current literature to examine the direct effects of climate change (i.e. changes in CO2, temperature, and precipitation patterns) on aquatic macrophytes in lakes as well as indirect effects via invasive species and nutrient dynamics. The combined effects of climate change are likely to lead to an increased abundance and distribution of emergent and floating species, and a decreased abundance and distribution of submerged macrophytes. In small shallow lakes, these processes are likely to be faster than in deep temperate lakes; with lower light levels, water level fluctuations and increases in temperature, the systems will become dominated by algae. In general, specialized macrophyte species in high‐latitude and high‐altitude areas will decrease in number while more competitive invasive species are likely to outcompete native species. Given that the majority of endemic species reside in tropical lakes, climate change, together with other anthropogenic pressures, might cause the extinction of a large number of endemic species. Lakes at higher altitudes in tropical areas could therefore potentially be a hotspot for future conservation efforts for protecting endemic macrophyte species. In response to a combination of climate‐change induced threats, the macrophyte community might collapse, which will change the status of lakes and may initiate a negative feedback loop that will affect entire lake ecosystems.

Authors: Chattopadhyay Sidhartha , Sengupta Judhajit , Basu Sagar 
Published: April 2022

AbstractBackgroundVarious neurological manifestations have been described in relation to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) infection and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19). However, the development of cerebellar ataxia after recovery from COVID‐19 is rare. We present a case of cerebellar ataxia 3 weeks after recovery from COVID‐19.Case PresentationA 70‐year‐old male patient from an urban area of India presented with ataxia. He was hypertensive and had been receiving treatment for post‐traumatic epilepsy for the previous 3 years. He had previously had laboratory‐confirmed COVID‐19 infection with mild symptoms that resolved within 2 weeks. However, 3 weeks after symptom improvement, he developed severe pan‐cerebellar ataxia. Investigations were suggestive of post‐infectious cerebellar ataxia. Other causes of ataxia were excluded. He responded well to pulse methylprednisolone therapy and was discharged with mild tremor and ataxia.ConclusionPost‐infectious cerebellar ataxia is an unusual presentation after COVID‐19. The clinician should be aware of such complications following COVID‐19 infection as early diagnosis and proper management leads to better outcomes in many patients.
Influence of buccal emergence profile designs on peri‐implant tissues: A randomized controlled trial
Authors: Wang Juan , Tang Yiman , Qiu Lixin , Yu Huajie 
Published: April 2022

AbstractBackgroundThe prosthetic emergence profile design might be an important factor in postsurgical mucosal recession etiology. Therefore, a restorative buccal emergence profile designed correctly might reduce gingival margin recession.PurposeTo compare the marginal gingival level and the width/height (W/H) ratio between two profile configurations of single implant‐supported restorations at molar sites.Materials and MethodsTwenty‐one patients requiring a single mandibular molar tooth replacement with supracrestal mucosal thickness ≥2 mm were recruited and randomly assigned to a prosthesis buccal emergence profile design based on the buccal mucosal W/H ratio (Test Group) or maintained the original emergence profile of the healing abutment (Control Group). Assessments were made before delivery of the definitive restoration (T0), at prosthesis placement (T1), one (T2), and 12 (T3) months after loading. The gingival margin level change (△GM), initial emergence angle, buccal mucosal W/H ratio, marginal bone loss (MBL), implant failure, and complications were assessed.ResultsThe gingival recession in the test group (0.13 ± 0.32 mm) was significantly lower than in the control group (0.63 ± 0.38 mm) at T3 (p = 0.006). The initial emergence angle in the test group (31.4 ± 7.22 degrees) was significantly lower than the control group (40.0 ± 7.60 degrees) (p = 0.025). The W/H ratio in the test group at T2 was significantly higher than at T0 but remained stable thereafter. The W/H ratio presented a continued rising trend in the control group.ConclusionsWhen the initial supracrestal soft tissue thickness was ≥2 mm, a restorative emergence profile based on the W/H ratio significantly reduced gingival margin recession. An emergence angle of 32.4 degrees showed better behavior in maintaining the gingival margin than 40 degrees.Clinical Trial Registration NumberChiCTR190002210.
