Are Islamic and conventional banks decoupled? Empirical evidence from Turkey
Authors: Khan Shabeer , Aslan Hakan , Khan Uzair Abdullah , Bhatti M.I. 
Published: December 2022

PurposeThis study investigates the determinants of net interest margin (NIM) and tests the decoupling hypothesis in Turkey's Islamic and conventional banks.Design/methodology/approachThis study has employed a panel quantile model (PQM) to assess the net interest margin (NIM) and test the decoupling hypothesis in the dual banking system of Turkey.FindingsThe empirical results show that the impact of equity is positive for both Islamic and conventional banks but relatively more robust for Islamic banks. Moreover, it is observed that return on assets has a positive association with NIM in both types of banking systems. Interestingly, the impact increases from lower to higher quantiles, but a higher acceleration rate is observed for Islamic banks. The study also finds that, as bank stability increases, NIM decreases for both groups of banks but more stably for Islamic banks, resulting in lower margins than conventional banks. Thus, the paper confirms the decoupling hypothesis and suggests that, to increase profit margins, Islamic banks need to increase assets and equity.Practical implicationsThe paper confirms the decoupling hypothesis and suggests that to increase profit margin, Islamic banks need to increase assets and equity.Social implicationsSince both equity and assets contribute positively to interest margins, policymakers in the industry need to increase the size of equity and assets to get maximum returns.Originality/valueThis is one of the first studies to investigate NIM's determinants and test the decoupling hypothesis in the Turkish dual banking system using a non-parametric MCMC panel quantile regression (QRM) model.

Authors: Zaara Mohamed Amine , Ben Khelil Mehdi , Bellali Mohamed , Gharbaoui Meriem , Kort Ikram , Banasr Ahmed , Zhioua Mongi , Hamdoun Moncef 
Published: December 2022

Purpose
This study aims to analyze the pattern of deaths in detention in Northern Tunisia as well as the causes of death.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors conducted a cross-sectional retrospective study including all the casualties of death in detention examined in the legal medicine Department in the main teaching hospital from 2005 to 2019. The department covers 10 out of the 11 governorates of Northern Tunisia and 13 prisons.

Findings
Of a total of 197 casualties, only 2 were females. The mean age was 45.39 ± 14.43 years. A known medical history was reported in 63.5%, mainly cardiovascular disease, mental health disorders and diabetes. Half of the deaths occurred at the hospital. A total of 53 victims spent less than one year in custody before their death. Most deaths occurred due to disease-related causes (78.7%; n = 155); among these, 69 victims died from cardiovascular disease. Suicide accounted for 3.6% of the casualties and homicides for four cases.

Research limitations/implications
Several missing data regarding the details of the detention circumstances as well as the absence in some cases of the toxicological and histopathology analysis results, which could bias the study findings.

Practical implications
Death in detention in Northern Tunisia involved mainly males between their 30s and their 50s who died mainly from cardiovascular or pulmonary disease. These results underscore the importance of empowering the penitentiary health system.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is one of largest studies with regard to the number of decedents and the number of prisons from the Arab countries allowing to draw a pattern of casualties of death in prison.
Carers and domestic abuse – the elephant in the room?
Authors: Warburton-Wynn Amanda 
Published: December 2022

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to highlight the issue of carers as victims and perpetrators of domestic abuse. The issue of carers as victims, and sometimes perpetrators, of domestic abuse is being overlooked by statutory organisations because they often do not fit the traditional patterns of abusive relationships, and the complexities of the caring role can make typical safety options unsuitable. However, caring responsibilities are a feature of an increasing number of domestic homicide reviews, and current statutory safeguarding options exclude most carers from support and risk not identifying perpetrators.

Design/methodology/approach
This short paper highlights some of the shortfalls around identifying the needs of carer victims/survivors of domestic abuse and carer-perpetrators of domestic abuse and explores ways in which identification and support could be improved.

Findings
Carers as victims/survivors of domestic abuse, and as abusers, is an issue that requires more attention from researchers and Adult Social Care, NHS, Carer Support Organisations and Domestic Abuse specialists need to work together to explore these issues and offer workable options.

Originality/value
Little data or research exists around carers as victims or perpetrators of domestic abuse.
Leadership through the subordinates' eye: perceptions of leader behaviors in relation to age and gender
Authors: Larsson Gerry , Molnar Malin Mattson , Tinnerholm Ljungberg Helena , Björklund Christina 
Published: December 2022

PurposeThe study represents a theory-based leadership approach in exploring the subordinate's perceptions of leadership behaviors in relation to age, gender and type of work environment. The aim was (1) to compare subordinates' ratings of their respective leaders' leadership behaviors based on of the leaders' age and gender, controlling for type of work environment and (2) to analyze the relationship between the subordinates' ratings of their leaders' leadership behaviors and their ratings of the outcome of these leadership behaviors.Design/methodology/approachData were collected using the Developmental Leadership Questionnaire (DLQ) from a sample of Swedish leadership course participants (n = 10,869) and their respective subordinates (n = 97,943). The DLQ measures leadership behaviors designed to reflect the following leadership styles: developmental leadership, conventional-positive leadership, conventional-negative leadership and destructive leadership.FindingsResults showed that older leaders (51 years or older) were rated less favorably than younger (29 years or younger) and mid-aged leaders. Female leaders received more positive ratings than male leaders. A 3-way analysis-of-variance showed strong main effects for age, gender, and type of work environment and no significant interaction effects. A significant model with high equivalents of R2 coefficients (Cox and Snell, 1989; Nagelkerke, 1991) was obtained in a logistic regression analysis. Developmental leadership and conventional-positive leadership made significant positive contributions to the subordinates' ratings of the outcome of their leaders' leadership behaviors. Destructive leadership behaviors contributed negatively to the outcome ratings.Research limitations/implicationsWeaknesses include the cross-sectional study design. The large sample size is a strength, and the results have novel implications for leadership theory related to subordinates' view on leadership.Practical implicationsCounter-stereotype age and gender findings may have implications for organizational decisions and processes regarding selection of managers. Development programs are suggested for all categories but for older, male leaders with a focus on reducing their use of leadership behaviors perceived negatively by their subordinates, whereas younger female leaders should be encouraged to continue to develop their positive leadership behaviors.Originality/valueThe theory-based approach on subordinates' perceptions of leadership behaviors with a simultaneous focus on age, gender and type of work environment, based on a large-scale data set, is new.
From sense of competence to work–life and life–work enhancements of medical doctors: Sen’s capability approach
Authors: Trang Tran T.H. , Tho Nguyen Dinh 
Published: December 2022

Purpose
Drawing upon the capability approach, this study aims to investigate the impact of sense of competence on work–life and life–work enhancements. It also examines the mediating roles of mindfulness and flow at work in the above relationships.

Design/methodology/approach
A sample of 254 medical doctors in various hospitals in Vietnam was surveyed to validate the measures via confirmatory factor analysis and to test the model and hypotheses using structural equation modeling.

Findings
The results demonstrate that mindfulness and flow at work fully mediate the effects of sense of competence on both work–life and life–work enhancements, but sense of competence does not have any direct effect on both.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is among the first to examine the roles of sense of competence, mindfulness and flow at work in work–life and life–work enhancements, adding further insight into the literature on work–life balance. It also offers evidence for the capacity approach in explaining work–life and life–work enhancements in an emerging market, Vietnam.
Drivers of employment effects in tourism-related sectors: the case of Mainland China
Authors: He Lamei , Zha Jianping , Tang Jianying , Tan Ting , Yu Qiao 
Published: December 2022

PurposeTourism is a labor-intensive sector with extensive links to other industries and plays a vital role in creating employment. This study aims to propose a new framework to analyze the intrinsic structure of the employment effects of tourism-related sectors and their drivers.Design/methodology/approachThis study uses input–output and structural decomposition analysis (IO-SDA) to quantify the employment effects of tourism-related sectors and their driving mechanisms based on China’s I-O tables of 2002, 2007, 2012 and 2017.FindingsThe results show a declining trend in the intensity of direct or indirect employment effects in tourism-related sectors, indicating a decreasing number of jobs directly or indirectly required to create a unit of tourism output. Among tourism-related sectors, catering has the highest intensity of indirect employment effects over the study period. Catering stimulates the indirect employment of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, fishery and food and tobacco manufacturing. The decomposition analysis reveals that final demand is the largest contributor to the increase in tourism employment, while technological progress shifts from an employment-creation effect in 2002–2012 to an employment-destruction effect in 2012–2017.Originality/valueThis study proposes a new analytical framework to investigate the structural proportional relationship between the direct and indirect employment effects of various tourism-related sectors and their dynamic changes. Doing so, it provides valuable references for policymakers to promote tourism employment.
Leadership skills for regulators
Authors: Bolton Mitzi , Mintrom Michael 
Published: December 2022

AbstractRegulation plays a vital role in reducing harms and promoting public order. However, regulatory reform has been likened to painting the Sydney Harbour Bridge, it never ends. Coupling this reality with the increasing array of areas requiring regulation, there is an acute need for regulators to become more effective in how they work. We discuss the leadership skills needed to ensure regulators consistently contribute to the creation of public value.Points for practitionersRegulators can be more effective when they appreciate their authorising environment and the factors which make that environment dynamic.Careful calibration of enforcement practices to the capabilities of those being regulated can reduce conflicts and improve outcomes.Regulators with good communication skills can do much to resolve apparently intractable disputes.
Recent advances in the molecular understanding of medulloblastoma
Authors: Funakoshi Yusuke , Sugihara Yuriko , Uneda Atsuhito , Nakashima Takuma , Suzuki Hiromichi 
Published: December 2022

AbstractMedulloblastoma is the most common pediatric malignant brain tumor composed of four molecular subgroups. Recent intensive genomics has greatly contributed to our understanding of medulloblastoma pathogenesis. Sequencing studies identified novel mutations involved in the cyclic AMP‐dependent pathway or RNA processing in the Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) subgroup, and core‐binding factor subunit alpha (CBFA) complex in the group 4 subgroup. Likewise, single‐cell sequencing provided detailed insights into the cell of origin associated with brain development. In this review, we will summarize recent findings by sequencing analyses for medulloblastoma.
Prenatal diagnosis of VACTERL association after early‐first trimester SARS‐COV‐2 infection
Authors: Chimenea Angel , García‐Díaz Lutgardo , Calderón Ana María , Antiñolo Guillermo 
Published: December 2022

AbstractOrganogenesis is a period of fetal development with a special vulnerability to biological and environmental agents. There are some viral infections whose transmission in the first trimester carries a significant risk for the development of congenital anomalies. Although the possibility of vertical transmission of SARS‐CoV‐2 during pregnancy has been demonstrated, there are no studies evaluating the impact of SARS‐CoV‐2 infection in the first trimester and its possible association with congenital anomalies. In this communication, we present the case of a pregnant woman with early SARS‐CoV‐2 infection, prenatally diagnosed with fetal VACTERL association by mid‐trimester ultrasound. Further studies are needed to determine the causal association.
Polycaprolactone versus collagen membrane and 1‐year clinical outcomes: A randomized controlled trial
Authors: Kusirisin Thun , Suwanprateeb Jintamai , Buranawat Borvornwut 
Published: December 2022

AbstractBackgroundPolycaprolactone (PCL) is a synthetic aliphatic polyester widely used in biomedical applications with biodegradability in the body and promotes cell proliferation and differentiation. A newly developed bilayered PCL membrane was developed for possibly being used as a membrane in guided bone regeneration (GBR).PurposeTo compare the clinical efficacy between a newly developed bilayered PCL membrane with a Cytoplast™ RTM collagen membrane for GBR with simultaneous implant placement.Materials and MethodsTwenty‐four patients were randomized to PCL or RTM group, and a total of 24 dental implants were placed. Primary outcomes were patient mean buccal bone thickness (BBT) immediately postimplantation and at 6 months using cone‐beam CT and soft tissue surface dimensional changes (STC) at crown insertion, 6 months, and 1 year after loading using intraoral scanner. Secondary outcomes included success rate, clinical parameters, healing index, implant stability, pink esthetic score, and marginal bone levels.ResultsThe percentage of reduced BBT at 6 months was 32.38%, 25.94%, and 23.96% in the test group and 34.42%, 14.75%, and 6.34% in the control group at the corresponding levels. The mean difference of changed BBT associated with PCL membrane, when compared to collagen membrane, at 6 months was −0.02 ± 0.18 mm (95% confidence interval [CI]: −0.40 to 0.35), 0.29 ± 0.28 mm (95% CI: −0.29 to 0.87), and 0.62 ± 0.38 mm (95% CI: −0.17 to 1.42) at 0, 2, and 4 mm from implant shoulder. Minimal loss of STC was observed in both groups up to 1 year of loading. The mean difference loss of surface dimensional change associated with PCL membrane, when compared to collagen membrane, at 1 year of loading was 0.31 ± 0.19 mm (95% CI: −0.07 to 0.70), 0.22 ± 0.26 mm (95% CI: −0.33 to 0.76), and 0.17 ± 0.30 mm (95% CI: −0.45 to 0.78) at 0, 2, and 4 mm from implant shoulder. None of these differences were statistically significant (unpaired t‐test, degrees of freedom [df] = 22; p > 0.05).ConclusionWithin the limits of this trial, both barrier membranes resulted in comparable outcomes for GBR with implant placement after 1 year in function. Further research is necessary with a larger sample size.
The impact of face masks on infants' learning of faces: An eye tracking study
Authors: DeBolt Michaela C. , Oakes Lisa M. 
Published: December 2022

AbstractThis preregistered study examined how face masks influenced face memory in a North American sample of 6‐ to 9‐month‐old infants (N = 58) born during the COVID‐19 pandemic. Infants' memory was tested using a standard visual paired comparison (VPC) task. We crossed whether or not the faces were masked during familiarization and test, yielding four trial types (masked‐familiarization/masked‐test, unmasked‐familiarization/masked‐test, masked‐familiarization/unmasked‐test, and unmasked‐familiarization/unmasked‐test). Infants showed memory for the faces if the faces were unmasked at test, regardless of whether or not the face was masked during familiarization. However, infants did not show robust evidence of memory when test faces were masked, regardless of the familiarization condition. In addition, infants' bias for looking at the upper (eye) region was greater for masked than unmasked faces, although this difference was unrelated to memory performance. In summary, although the presence of face masks does appear to influence infants' processing of and memory for faces, they can form memories of masked faces and recognize those familiar faces even when unmasked.

Published: December 2022

AbstractA Ca5Mg4V6O24 compound was synthesized through solid‐state roasting routes under an air atmosphere, and its crystal structure and thermodynamic properties were determined using various methods. The cell parameters of Ca5Mg4V6O24 indicate that it crystallizes in cubic space group Ia3d with the unit cell parameters a = 12.442 ± 0.001 Å. X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy also confirmed that the vanadium element in the Ca5Mg4V6O24 sample is present in the +5 state. The melting of Ca5Mg4V6O24 was detected at 1442 K. The molar heat capacity (374 J mol K−1) and entropy (688.2 J mol K−1) of Ca5Mg4V6O24 at 298.15 K were determined using physical properties measurement system, and simultaneous thermal analyzer for the first time. The solubility of Ca5Mg4V6O24 in water at different temperatures was measured and its dissolution behavior in sulfuric acid and kinetics was experimentally established.
A risk model for decline in health status after acute myocardial infarction among older adults

Published: December 2022

AbstractBackgroundHealth status is increasingly recognized as an important patient‐centered outcome after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Yet drivers of decline in health status after AMI remain largely unknown in older adults. We sought to develop and validate a predictive risk model for health status decline among older adult survivors of AMI.MethodsUsing data from a prospective cohort study conducted from 2013 to 2017 of 3041 patients age ≥75 years hospitalized with acute myocardial infarction at 94 U.S. hospitals, we examined a broad array of demographic, clinical, functional, and psychosocial variables for their association with health status decline, defined as a decrease of ≥5 points in the Short Form‐12 (SF‐12) physical component score from hospitalization to 6 months post‐discharge. Model selection was performed in logistic regression models of 20 imputed datasets to yield a parsimonious risk prediction model. Model discrimination and calibration were evaluated using c‐statistics and calibration plots, respectively.ResultsOf the 2571 participants included in the main analyses, 30% of patients experienced health status decline from hospitalization to 6 months post‐discharge. The risk model contained 14 factors, 10 associated with higher risk of health status decline (age, pre‐existing AMI, pre‐existing cancer, pre‐existing COPD, pre‐existing diabetes, history of falls, presenting Killip class, acute kidney injury, baseline health status, and mobility impairment) and four associated with lower risk of health status decline (male sex, higher hemoglobin, receipt of revascularization, and arrhythmia during hospitalization). The model displayed good discrimination (c‐statistic = 0.74 in validation cohort) and calibration (p > 0.05) in both development and validation cohorts.ConclusionsWe used split sampling to develop and validate a risk model for health status decline in older adults after hospitalization for AMI and identified several risk factors that may be modifiable to mitigate the threat of this important patient‐centered outcome. External validation of this risk model is warranted.
Polyphase tectonic reworking of serpentinites and chlorite‐tremolite‐talc rocks (SW Spain) from the subduction forearc to intracontinental emplacement
Authors: Ábalos Benito , Puelles Pablo , Gil Ibarguchi José Ignacio 
Published: December 2022

AbstractThe petrostructural and geochronological study of a poorly known ultramafic unit from SW Spain (Badajoz–Córdoba belt) combined with previous structural data permits disclosure of a history of metasomatism, tectono‐metamorphism, reworking and isotopic resetting related to a poly‐orogenic evolution in different geodynamic scenarios. The heterogeneous ultramafic unit studied contains antigorite‐serpentinites and metasomatized ultramafic rocks (chlorite‐talc schists, tremolite‐talc‐chlorite rocks and magnesio‐hornblende‐chlorite rocks). Mantle‐wedge serpentinization was followed by Si and Al pre‐ to syn‐metamorphic/tectonic metasomatism in a subduction realm. Petrofabrics of selected lithologies reveal variable syn‐metamorphic crystal‐plastic deformation and recrystallization (assisted by other mechanisms) under relative high pressure, concomitant with the conditions recorded by neighbouring tectonic units that were later intruded by Ordovician granites. The resultant ensemble was reworked and isotopically reset much later in an intracontinental ductile shear zone. Syn‐ to late‐tectonic apatite from chlorite‐talc schists provides an anchored Tera–Wassenburg isochron radiometric age of 342.8 ± 12.2 Ma that provides evidence for the decoupling between isotopic systems and microstructures. The results are discussed from a twofold perspective: with regard to the likely tectonic context of this ophiolite (the current analogue of the Mariana forearc) and with regard to regional geological implications.
