Supply chains and ecosystems for servitization: a systematic review and future research agenda
Authors: Davies Philip , Liu Yipeng , Cooper Maggie , Xing Yijun 
Published: September 2022

PurposeRecent research has recognised the importance of supply chains and ecosystems as key drivers of successful servitization strategies, especially in the context of inter-organisational relations (IOR). The body of knowledge has, however, become increasingly fragmented and diverse due to different disciplinary roots of both servitization and IOR research. The purpose of this paper is to take stock of current knowledge and to generate a set of future research directions for servitization-related supply chain and ecosystem research.Design/methodology/approachA systematic review methodology was applied. A thematic analysis was conducted on a sample of 34 papers in the period 2010–2021 to identify the key themes within the servitization-related supply chain and ecosystem literature.FindingsThe review revealed a limited, but expanding, knowledge base for servitization-related supply chain and ecosystem research. The findings provide insight into current trends across four thematic areas: theoretical orientation, methodological approaches, research context and research content. Within these themes, it was found that four main areas of research content have been studied (supplier relationships, risk perception and uncertainty, capability development and resource integration), with most research adopting case-based methodologies within three main industrial contexts: manufacturing, industrial and software. Finally, a broad range of theoretical orientations have led to an increasingly fragmented and diverse literature base.Originality/valueThis study is the first to review servitization-related supply chains and ecosystems. It contributes insights through an IOR lens to categorise and organise a core set of themes and concepts for servitization-related supply chain and ecosystems research. It identifies research gaps within the extant literature and presents a set of future research directions.
The effect of pictures in online consumer reviews on product evaluation: a study based on positive reviews of attractiveness-relevant products
Authors: Wu Ruijuan , Hu Yixiao , Li Peiyu 
Published: September 2022

PurposeThe objective of this study is to examine the effects of pictures (consumer pictures vs. product pictures vs. no pictures) in online consumer reviews on product evaluation and to determine the mechanism and boundary conditions behind such effects.Design/methodology/approachThe research consisted of three laboratory experiments.FindingsThe results showed that consumer pictures led to the most favorable product evaluation. Study 1 showed that persuasive effect was the mechanism behind the main effect. Study 2 showed that for problem-solving products, consumer pictures increased product evaluation significantly; for enhancing products, there was no significant difference of product evaluation among consumer pictures, product pictures and no picture. The results of Study 3 showed that for the unfamiliar brand, consumer pictures significantly enhanced product evaluation; for the highly familiar brand, there was no significant difference among consumer pictures, product pictures and no picture. The present research used persuasive effects to examine the mechanism behind the interaction effects.Practical implicationsThe study provides managerial implications for online store owners about how to manage pictures in online reviews.Originality/valueThis study supplements the literature on online consumer reviews and enriches the study of effects of pictures.
Public sector financial management in New Zealand central government: the role of public sector accountants
Authors: Gill John , Sharma Umesh 
Published: September 2022

PurposeThis paper aims to examine the actions of public sector accountants in the New Zealand government departments as they respond to the demands of the Central Treasury.Design/methodology/approachThe analysis is developed through an understanding of the secondary literature and practical experience of the first author who worked in the New Zealand public sector as a public sector accountant from 1972 to 1998. Both authors have remained active in the public sector through research and practice. The first author's last three placements were being Director Financial Management in the Ministry of Energy, Assistant Secretary in the Department of Maori Affairs and finally as CFO at the Ministry of Education. The first author has been a close observer of the Budget and was a participant at the departmental level for over 20 years.FindingsThe public sector reforms have posed challenges for public sector accountants. The arrival of accrual output based budgeting shaped a reconfiguration of accountants' identities. The politicians made public sector accountants the central entity of accrual output based budgeting and thus responsible for increasing public sector efficiency.Research limitations/implicationsThe research is limited to public sector in New Zealand only.Practical implicationsThis study would be of use to practitioners interested in the pressures and opportunities which arise out of a particular constellation of administrative roles.Social implicationsThe administrative history, in particular, by senior officers is often unwritten for the public sector offices.Originality/valueThis is a descriptive piece on the role of public sector accountants and contributes to the understanding of how financial accountability works within the New Zealand Central Government.
International competitiveness readiness, home country institutions and early internationalisation
Authors: Li Tianchen 
Published: September 2022

PurposeSynthesising an individual–opportunity nexus model, this research aims to develop a model of early internationalisation by integrating international competitiveness readiness, entrepreneurial motives and home country institutions and empirically assesses this model using a multi-level estimate design.Design/methodology/approachDrawing upon a global context comprising 79,402 entrepreneurs from 87 countries, this research applies a Heckman 2-step model together with a multi-level approach that allows to deal with self-selection bias and to take the hierarchical nature of the data into account.FindingsThe findings show that early internationalisation is significantly affected by entrepreneurs' international competitiveness readiness and this association is moderated by entrepreneurial motives. In addition, the findings demonstrate that the individual-level effects are further modified by the quality of country-level governance.Practical implicationsThe research findings have significant implications and value for policy-makers who are aiming to stimulate the rate of early internationalisation by influencing the quality of governance.Originality/valueThe results contribute to the development of knowledge and theoretical bases in international entrepreneurship (IE). The results provide a multi-level view on the relationships between entrepreneurs and the internationalisation of entrepreneurs' firms from an integrative perspective, thereby complementing the perspective of international competitiveness readiness that primarily focuses on the effects of inherent resources and capabilities.
Exploring the biodiversity of Bifidobacterium asteroides among honey bee microbiomes

Published: September 2022

AbstractBifidobacterium asteroides is considered the ancestor of the genus Bifidobacterium, which has evolved in close touch with the hindgut of social insects. However, recent studies revealed high intraspecies biodiversity within this taxon, uncovering the putative existence of multiple bifidobacterial species, thus, suggesting its reclassification. Here, a genomic investigation of 98 B. asteroides‐related genomes retrieved from public repositories and reconstructed from metagenomes of the hindgut of Apis mellifera and Apis cerana was performed to shed light on the genetic variability of this taxon. Phylogenetic and genomic analyses revealed the existence of eight clusters, of which five have been recently characterized with a representative type strain of the genus and three were represented by putative novel bifidobacterial species inhabiting the honeybee gut. Then, the dissection of 366 shotgun metagenomes of honeybee guts revealed a pattern of seven B. asteroides‐related taxa within A. mellifera that co‐exist with the host, while A. cerana microbiome was characterized by the predominance of one of the novel species erroneously classified as B. asteroides. A further glycobiome analysis unveiled a conserved repertoire of glycosyl hydrolases (GHs) reflecting degradative abilities towards a broad range of simple carbohydrates together with genes encoding specific GHs of each B. asteroides‐related taxa.

Published: September 2022

AbstractObjectiveWomen who are deaf experience higher rates of reproductive healthcare barriers and adverse birth outcomes compared with their peers who can hear. This study explores the pregnancy experiences of women who are deaf to better understand their barriers to and facilitators of optimal pregnancy‐related health care.DesignQualitative study using thematic analysis.SettingSemi‐structured, individual, remote or in‐person interviews conducted in the USA.SampleForty‐five women who are deaf and communicate using American Sign Language (ASL) and gave birth in the USA within the past 5 years participated in the interviews.MethodsSemi‐structured interviews explored how mothers who are deaf experienced pregnancy and birth, including access to perinatal information and resources, relationships with healthcare providers, communication access and their involvement with the healthcare system throughout pregnancy. A thematic analysis was conducted.Main outcome measuresBarriers and facilitators related to a positive experience of perinatal care access among women who are deaf.ResultsThree major themes emerged: (1) communication accessibility; (2) communication satisfaction; and (3) healthcare provider and team support. Common barriers included choosing healthcare providers, inconsistent communication access and difficulty accessing health information. However, when women who are deaf were able to use ASL interpreters, they had more positive pregnancy and birth experiences. Self‐advocacy served as a common facilitator for more positive pregnancy and healthcare experiences.ConclusionsHealthcare providers need to be more aware of the communication and support needs of their patients who are deaf, especially how to communicate effectively. Increased cultural awareness and consistent provision of on‐site interpreters can improve pregnancy and birth experiences for women who are deaf.

Published: September 2022

AbstractObjectiveTo retrospectively describe a large series of pregnancies in women with hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia followed in our reference centre, plus neonatal outcomes, to better understand the risks of complications and to improve their prevention.DesignA retrospective descriptive study conducted through a phone questionnaire.SettingReference centre for hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia in Lyon, France.PopulationWomen meeting the following criteria: (1) alive and aged ≥18 years; (2) with a definite clinical and/or genetic diagnosis of hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia; and (3) with at least one full‐term pregnancy.Main outcome measuresMaternal and perinatal outcomes of pregnancies in women with hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia.ResultsFive hundred and sixty‐two pregnancies were reported in 207 women with hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia. A total of 271 complications (48.2%) were registered. Of these, 149 (55%) non‐specific complications, 110 (40.6%) non‐severe specific complications and 12 (4.4%) severe specific complications were registered. There were four cases of haemoptysis and two cases of transient ischaemic attack related to pulmonary arteriovenous malformations. Four patients had severe decompensated dyspnoea, related to pulmonary arteriovenous malformations in three cases and to pulmonary arteriovenous malformations associated with severe hepatic arteriovenous malformations in one case. Hepatobiliary necrosis occurred in one case. Epidural or spinal anaesthesia was performed in 139 of 452 deliveries (31%), without complications. There were 12 reports of congenital anomalies in 461 live births (3%).ConclusionsMost pregnancies in hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia women are uneventful; complications are rare but can be severe. Women thus need to be educated about screening and possible pregnancy‐related risks before becoming pregnant.

AbstractObjectiveTo examine the association of higher emergency department (ED) census with inpatient outcomes on the day of discharge (inpatient length of stay, in‐hospital mortality, ED revisits, and readmissions).Data Sources and Study SettingAll‐payer ED and inpatient discharge data and hospital characteristics data from all non‐federal, general, and acute care hospitals in the state of California from October 1, 2015 to December 31, 2017.Study DesignIn retrospective data analysis, we examined whether ED census was associated with inpatient outcomes for all inpatients, including those not admitted through the ED. The main predictor variable was ED census on day of discharge, categorized based on hospital year and day of week. Separate linear regression models with robust SEs and hospital fixed effects examined the association of ED census on inpatient outcomes (length of stay, 3‐day ED revisit, 30‐day all‐cause readmission, in‐hospital mortality), controlling for patient and visit‐level factors. We stratified analyses by whether admission was elective or unscheduled.Extraction MethodsInpatient discharges in non‐federal, general medical hospitals with EDs.Principal FindingsWe examined 5,784,253 discharges. The adjusted model showed that, compared to when the ED was below the median, higher ED census on the day of discharge was associated with longer inpatient length of stay, lower readmissions, and higher in‐hospital mortality (90th percentile for length of stay: +0.8% [95% confidence interval, CI: +0.6% to +1.1%]; readmissions: −0.59 percentage points [or −5.6%] [95% CI: −0.0071 to −0.0048]; mortality: +0.14 percentage points [or +5.4%] [95% CI: +0.0009 to +0.0018]). [Correction added on 18 November 2022, after first online publication: ‘[odds rato, OR −5.6%]’ and ‘[OR +5.4%]’ of the preceding sentence have been corrected to ‘[or −5.6%]’ and ‘[or +5.4%]’, respectively, in this version.] Results for length of stay were primarily driven by patients with elective admissions, while results for readmissions and in‐hospital mortality were primarily driven by patients with unscheduled admissions.ConclusionsThis study suggests that ED crowding may affect inpatients throughout the hospital, even patients who are already admitted to the hospital.

New perspectives on the contribution of sanitary investments to mortality decline in English cities, 1845–1909
Authors: Aidt Toke S. , Davenport Romola J. , Gray Felix 
Published: September 2022

AbstractHealth improved in English cities in the last third of the nineteenth century, in tandem with substantial increases in public spending on water supplies and sanitation. However, previous efforts to measure the contribution of public expenditures to mortality improvements have been hampered by difficulties in quantifying public health investments and the lack of mortality data for specifically urban populations. We improve upon the existing evidence base by (1) creating measures of the stock of urban district sanitary capital, by type, on the basis of capital expenditure flows, rather than loan stocks; (2) using mortality and capital stock data that relate to the same administrative units (urban districts), and (3) studying the period 1880–1909 as well as the earlier period from 1845. The stock of sewerage capital was robustly related to improvements in all‐cause mortality after 1880. The size of this effect varied with the extent of public investment in water supplies, suggesting complementarity between the two assets. For the period 1845–84, investments in water were associated with declines in infant and child mortality but the effect was much smaller and less precisely estimated in later decades. Our results suggest that improvements in water and sewerage targeted different transmission pathways for faecal–oral diseases.
Robust estimation of 1/f activity improves oscillatory burst detection
Authors: Seymour Robert A. , Alexander Nicholas , Maguire Eleanor A. 
Published: September 2022

AbstractNeural oscillations often occur as transient bursts with variable amplitude and frequency dynamics. Quantifying these effects is important for understanding brain–behaviour relationships, especially in continuous datasets. To robustly measure bursts, rhythmical periods of oscillatory activity must be separated from arrhythmical background 1/f activity, which is ubiquitous in electrophysiological recordings. The Better OSCillation (BOSC) framework achieves this by defining a power threshold above the estimated background 1/f activity, combined with a duration threshold. Here we introduce a modification to this approach called fBOSC, which uses a spectral parametrisation tool to accurately model background 1/f activity in neural data. fBOSC (which is openly available as a MATLAB toolbox) is robust to power spectra with oscillatory peaks and can also model non‐linear spectra. Through a series of simulations, we show that fBOSC more accurately models the 1/f power spectrum compared with existing methods. fBOSC was especially beneficial where power spectra contained a ‘knee’ below ~.5–10 Hz, which is typical in neural data. We also found that, unlike other methods, fBOSC was unaffected by oscillatory peaks in the neural power spectrum. Moreover, by robustly modelling background 1/f activity, the sensitivity for detecting oscillatory bursts was standardised across frequencies (e.g., theta‐ and alpha‐bands). Finally, using openly available resting state magnetoencephalography and intracranial electrophysiology datasets, we demonstrate the application of fBOSC for oscillatory burst detection in the theta‐band. These simulations and empirical analyses highlight the value of fBOSC in detecting oscillatory bursts, including in datasets that are long and continuous with no distinct experimental trials.
Christ’s Love Moves the World to Reconciliation and Unity
Authors: Fritzson Arne 
Published: September 2022

AbstractIn August and September 2022, the World Council of Churches gathers for its 11th Assembly under the theme “Christ’s love moves the world to reconciliation and unity.” This article offers a meditation on the meaning of the theme against the background of biblical witness, using the books in the New Testament by Luke – the gospel according to Luke and the Acts of the Apostles – as a structure for reflection. A special focus is on how the Spirit moves the Jesus movement in these New Testament books. Other books in the New Testament will be included to further deepen the reflections.
Being Different Together
Authors: Ekué Amélé Adamavi‐Aho 
Published: September 2022

AbstractThis article looks back at more than 70 years of ecumenical formation at the Ecumenical Institute at Bossey. The encounter of the students at Bossey shows that it is possible to develop an ecumenical space that is prophetic and critical, reflective and spiritual, in which the experiences of a diverse community – cultural, theological, and ecumenical – can be worked through. Ecumenical formation at Bossey therefore involves holding together converging and diverging interpretations of what the Christian faith means. Bossey is thus a place of ecumenical learning in the sense of intercultural and theological reflection and practice. It represents symbolically the ecumenical movement as a fellowship of learning and offers an invitation to keep alive this experience of learning in an awareness of what is held in common, despite all the differences.
