Crisis and mental health of working women: risk factors and integrated care interventions based on organizational, individual, and institutional partnership
Authors: Hamouche Salima 
Published: June 2022

PurposeCrises can weigh heavily on individuals' mental health. COVID-19 is a crisis that has shaken humanity, plunging it into a great wave of fear, ambiguity and uncertainty, due to its novelty and rapid spread, as well as lethality. Mental health disparities between women and men have widened as a result of this pandemic. Stress factors have multiplied, especially among working women, making them more psychologically vulnerable than they were before this pandemic and easy prey to psychological distress. This emphasized the importance of having integrated care interventions that take into consideration the organizational context, with gendered lenses. This paper discusses the relationship between COVID-19 and psychological distress among women in the workforce. It presents the main sources of stress and addresses integrated care interventions that can help to prevent psychological distress among women.Design/methodology/approachThis paper is a viewpoint and critique of the recent literature.FindingsInterventions based on a partnership between employers, employees, and government, including health and social services are needed to prevent mental health problems among women in the workplace that can result from crises. In this case, a gendered approach as well as an optimization of the use of new technologies should be favored.Originality/valueThere is little focus on the development of integrated care approaches to address psychological distress among working women in times of crisis and beyond. This paper helps to expand the scope of integrated care to work-related mental health research by exploring the impact of an unprecedented health crisis on a vulnerable group that suffers from disparities in mental health. It also provides insights into preventive interventions, built upon an integrated care approach, based on a tripartite partnership between working women, employing organizations, and governmental institutions, facilitated by the integration of new technologies. By doing this, the author aims to contribute to the prevention of mental health issues that can result from this crisis.

Published: June 2022

PurposeThis case study aims to report a longitudinal analysis of the development and use of local “vernacular” accounting practice and a digital rolling-forecast system known as TeamBudget in a public sector organization.Design/methodology/approachThe study employs the constructive research approach which utilizes participative observation in the development of TeamBudget over the 15 years since 2004. The empirical data utilized includes eight interviews and documentary data for the system created.FindingsThe study demonstrates how the actions of employees responsible for developing a locally relevant financial planning system, TeamBudget, facilitated the emergence of new accounting routines associated with the newly created system. A locally created accounting system thus became institutionalized into a wider organizational setting over time. The current study presents findings that explain the routinization of informal accounting activities and the subsequent institutionalization process.Practical implicationsUnderstanding the potential influence of local action on the organization-wide accounting system may foster the creation of accounting tools that could spread participation and commitment throughout a public sector organization, contributing towards enhancing the enabling effect of an organizational accounting system. When designing a local budgeting system, decoupling it from the organizational system may promote its institutionalization.Originality/valueAntecedents of informal accounting routines have received little research attention. This study illustrates actions relating to local accounting practice were antecedents of accounting routines and subsequent institutional changes in broader organizational practices in a public sector organization. The study demonstrates how vernacular accounting practice can facilitate the institutionalization process.

PurposeThe purpose of this study was to examine the role of fear of COVID-19 and job stress on women's turnover intentions in the hospitality industry (travel agencies). Also, the mediating role of work-family conflict was examined.Design/methodology/approachThree theoretical approaches of importance for framing issues of fear of COVID-19, job stress, work-family conflict and women's turnover intentions. Using the purposive sampling technique, the participants for the current paper were selected from the population of employees of top travel and tour operation firms in Lagos, Nigeria.FindingsFindings from the study indicate that the fear of COVID-19 and job stress was found to be positively related to work-family conflict and work-family conflict was positively related to women's turnover intentions. Work-family conflict mediates the positive relationship between fear of COVID-19 and women's turnover intentions, while against priori; the work-family conflict did not mediate the relationship between job stress and women's turnover intentions.Research limitations/implicationsOur study's findings were limited in their generalizability because they focused on a specific operating sector of tourism, travel and tour. Testing the study's model in different tourism operating sectors or mixed industries could offer better insights. A comparative study between this current context and western/non-western contexts to provide more contextual insights.Originality/valueThis study considered travel agencies (the pillar of the tourism industry) that have been understudied. The main strength of the study is its female-centric approach to uncovering the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on hospitality employee outcomes. Specifically, the study used African females in the hospitality settings to investigate the aforementioned relationships. 10; Keywords: COVID-19; job stress; turnover intention; work-family conflict.

Published: June 2022

PurposeAiming at the characteristics of large stiffness, low ductility, and poor energy dissipation capacity of cross-laminated timber (CLT) shear wall, a method of opening vertical joints and adding low-yield dampers in CLT shear wall is proposed to improve its energy dissipation capacity and ductility.Design/methodology/approachThe finite element model of CLT shear walls with low-yield dampers and dampers assembly was established by ABAQUS. The structural shape of low-yield dampers that meet the requirements of vertical joints in CLT shear walls is studied by numerical analysis. The influence of the number and position of low-yield dampers on the energy dissipation of the shear wall system is studied.FindingsThe results show that the low-yield damper with diamond openings should be used in the CLT shear wall, and the energy dissipation effect is the best when the CLT shear wall is uniformly covered with low-yield dampers. After the uniform arrangement of four groups of low-yield steel dampers, the energy consumption of the CLT shear wall increases by 75.38%, and the ductility increases by 13.22%.Originality/valueThere are few studies on replacing connectors between shear walls with low-yield steel dampers, and rectangular soft steel dampers are prone to stress concentration and poor deformation capacity. Therefore, this paper establishes the model of perforated low-yield damper and CLT and makes numerical analysis to determine the opening form, geometric parameters of low-yield damper, and the optimal layout scheme in CLT shear wall.

Published: June 2022

PurposeThe study aims to investigate the impact of financial inclusion (FI) on environmental quality and the mediating role of industrialization (IZ). In addition, these relationships among the counties with different levels of income and carbon emissions were also analyzed.Design/methodology/approachThis paper used the International Monetary Fund database for indicators of FI. The environmental indicators were obtained from the World Bank database for a panel of worldwide countries from 2004 to 2019. Separate indices of environmental sustainability (ES) and environmental degradation (ED) were created by using principal component analysis . The generalized method of moments regression was applied to examine the relationship between variables.FindingsThe study found full mediation of IZ between FI and ES, whereas partial mediation between FI and environmental degradation. The results were found robust against alternative measures of carbon emissions. Furthermore, the study also bifurcated the sample according to the level of income and carbon emission. It was found that FI plays a positive role in the betterment of environmental quality for high-income countries, while a negative role in upper-middle-income, lower-middle-income and low-income countries. Besides, FI has a negative role in the ES of the countries having higher or lower carbon emission levels.Originality/valueEmpirically this study contributes by creating two different novel measures of ES and environmental degradation, in contrast to other studies that solely relied on carbon emission. Contrary to previous studies, this study suggests that FI is not solely responsible for environmental damages, and IZ is the key channel by which FI shifts its impact on ES. Moreover, for environmental degradation, there are some other channels involved that need to be investigated further. This study has also noted that the relationship between FI and ES is context-dependent. Theoretically, this paper contributes to the literature by using ecological modernization theory in the nexus of FI, IZ and environmental quality.

AbstractOzone (O3) is an emerging eco‐friendly technology that has been widely used in the beverage industry due to its broad spectrum of usages, such as fermentation, microbial inactivation, Clean‐in‐Place (CIP) systems, and postharvest treatment. Wine is among the most financially profitable sectors of the beverage industry. Ozone technology as an alternative approach to conventional methods to inhibit microbes in wine processing and wineries has attracted researchers' attention as this emerging technology will probably play important roles in wineries in the future. This review discusses the prospective applications of ozone in winemaking and wineries and elaborates on ozone's antimicrobial effects on the control of the broad spectrum of microorganisms during wine processing. Also, this paper provides discussions on its effects of O3 on wine quality and the benefits this emerging technology can bring to wineries. Ozone treatments can improve yeast fermentation by impacting the yeast ecology of postharvested wine grapes, mainly by affecting apiculate yeasts and adjusting the population of undesirable yeasts, such as Brettanomyces spp., during the fermentation process. Furthermore, ozone treatment may enhance wine's anthocyanin concentration, physicochemical properties, color, pH, oxidative stability, and concentration of pleasant volatile compounds and esters. This article presents important information to have a better understanding of the impact of ozone treatment on different stages of wine preparation.
Comprehensive Evaluation of Runoff Forecast Level Based on Forecasting Difficulty
Authors: Jiang Zhiqiang , Wang Suiling , Liao Xiang , Liu Yi , Wu Qiong , Zhang Lei , Chang Zongye 
Published: June 2022

ABSTRACTThe current traditional forecasting level evaluation method only uses the forecast error value series for relevant analysis, such as dividing the number of qualified forecasts by the total number of forecasts to indicate the corresponding forecasting accuracy or level. This does not consider the different external environments during the forecast. When assessing the forecasting level of different forecasters, fairness cannot be reflected to a certain extent. So this paper puts forward the concept of forecasting difficulty and analyses the physical significance of forecasting difficulty. Based on the traditional concepts of forecasting accuracy and error, two methods calculating the forecasting difficulty are established to consider different forecasting situations, such as rainy, rainless, different foresight periods, and different inflow levels. Further, a new comprehensive forecasting level evaluation method of forecasters is proposed. Taking the Guandi reservoir as an example, the case study results show that compared with the traditional method, the proposed forecasting level evaluation method can effectively consider the difficulty factors of different forecasting situations. In addition, the methods can better reflect the contribution of difficult situations to the comprehensive forecasting level when considering the improvement of forecasting accuracy, which makes the obtained results more scientific and reasonable.
Iceland: Political Developments and Data in 2021
Authors: HARDARSON ÓLAFUR TH , KRISTINSSON GUNNAR HELGI 
Published: June 2022

AbstractIcelandic politics in 2021 were strongly dominated by two features: the ongoing struggle with Covid‐19 and the parliamentary election which took place on 25 September. Covid‐19 was in many ways the primary task of government throughout the year and, while criticism of various restrictions of personal freedoms grew louder as the year wore on, the situation remained relatively calm compared to most other countries. The parliamentary election was to a certain extent overshadowed by the pandemic crisis and the opposition parties in particular had a difficult time of finding a clear voice in a situation where expert rule was the norm and by far the most prominent part of the government agenda. After four years in power, the three‐way coalition of the Left‐Greens, Independence Party and Progressive Party was re‐elected in September, signalling a continuation of the partial return to stability which its formation in 2017 had signalled.

Published: June 2022

AbstractAimTo explore the influence of parents' socio‐economic characteristics on child healthcare nurses' mental health referrals of 3‐ to 5‐year‐olds and also to test the association between mental health problems and referrals.MethodsRepeated cross‐sectional data including parents' Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) assessments and referral data (psychologist and speech and language pathologist). Hierarchical regression was used to analyse whether parents' country of birth, education level, marital status and mental health problem scores (SDQ; total difficulties and impact scores) were associated with nurses' referrals.ResultsAbout 9% of mothers and 12% of fathers rated high SDQ scores (total difficulties) in their children. Approximately, 1% of the children were referred. The influence of parents' socio‐economic characteristics on referral rates was not observed. However, for children with Swedish‐born mothers, referral rates were significantly lower. Scores for SDQ total difficulties and impact were associated with the child's referral to specialists.ConclusionIn general, parental sociodemographic characteristics do not influence Swedish child healthcare nurses' mental health referrals. Although there was a significant association between problem behaviour and referral, a disproportion between children rated with high SDQ scores (9% and 12%) and children referred to specialists (1%) should be addressed.

AbstractAimTo compare the long‐term prospective clinical outcomes in a previous randomized controlled clinical trial (RCT) of 2 Mini Dental Implant (2MDI), 4 Mini Dental Implant (4MDI), and 2 Conventional Dental Implant (2CDI)‐retained mandibular overdenture with follow‐up between 5 to 8 years.Materials and MethodsThirty‐seven patients formerly participated in the Comparative Clinical Study of CDI and MDI for Mandibular Overdenture were requested for examination of clinical outcomes. A total of 104 implants were placed with mean follow‐up periods 6.64 ± 0.60 years. In Group 1 (2MDI) and Group 2 (4MDI), implants were placed and immediately loaded with Equator® attachments to retained mandibular overdenture. In Group 3 (2CDI), implants were placed and delayed 3 months for denture loading with ball attachment. The success rate, survival rate, clinical implant performance scale (CIP scale), peri‐implant tissue status, prosthetic complication, implant stability quotient (ISQ), marginal bone level change (MBLC), and patient satisfactions were analyzed.ResultsAfter 5 to 8 years follow‐up, the success rate in Groups 1, 2, and 3 were 90.91%, 93.33%, and 54.55%, respectively. The success rate in Group 3 was significantly lesser than Group 1 (p = 0.016) and Group 2 (p < 0.001). The survival rate in Groups 1, 2, and 3 was 100%, 96.67%, and 90.91%, respectively, and showed no significant differences. Mean ISQ reported no significant differences between groups. Mean MBLC were 0.57 ± 1.19 mm, 0.68 ± 0.90 mm, and 1.55 ± 1.60 mm in Groups 1, 2, and 3, respectively. Group 3 reported significantly greater mean MBLC than Group 1 (p = 0.016) and Group 2 (p = 0.011), but Groups 1 and 2 were not significantly differences. The overall patient satisfactions were reported as not significant differences between groups.ConcludeTwo MDI‐retained mandibular overdentures with immediate loaded protocol performed had favorable clinical outcomes, cost effectiveness, and overall patient satisfactions after 5 to 8 years follow‐up.
Assessment of drug–drug interaction potential with EDP‐305, a farnesoid X receptor agonist, in healthy subjects
Authors: Ahmad Alaa , Adda Nathalie 
Published: June 2022

AbstractEDP‐305 is a farnesoid X receptor (FXR) agonist that selectively activates FXR and is a potential treatment for patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) with liver fibrosis. Results from preclinical studies indicate that CYP3A4 is the primary enzyme involved in EDP‐305 metabolism and that EDP‐305 has low potential to inhibit or induce cytochrome (CYP) isoenzymes and drug transporters. Four studies were conducted in healthy volunteers to evaluate the drug–drug interaction (DDI) potential of EDP‐305 co‐administered with drugs known to be substrates for drug metabolizing enzymes or transporters, and to assess the effect of inhibitors and inducers of CYP3A4 on EDP‐305. Results suggest caution when substrates of CYP3A4 are administered concomitantly with EDP‐305. A potential for increased exposure is apparent when CYP1A2 substrates with a narrow therapeutic index are administered with EDP‐305. In contrast, substrates of drug transporters can be administered concomitantly with EDP‐305 with a low potential for interactions. Coadministration of EDP‐305 and a combined OC had no relevant effects on plasma concentrations of the combined OC. Co‐administration of EDP‐305 with strong or moderate inhibitors and inducers of CYP3A4 is not recommended. These results indicate low overall likelihood of interaction of EDP‐305 and other substrates through CYP mediated interactions. The interaction potential of EDP‐305 with drug transporters was low and of unlikely clinical significance. The EDP‐305 DDI profile allows for convenient administration in patients with NASH and other patient populations with comorbidities, with minimal dose modification of concomitant medications.
Providence and the magnitude of the universe
Authors: Weidemann Christian 
Published: June 2022

AbstractWhy did God create a vast universe? Various answers are discussed and rejected: (a) for its beauty; (b) to instill a sense of the sublime in his intelligent creatures; (c) to demonstrate his glory, (d) to provide a home for extraterrestrial species; (e) to guarantee that the natural emergence of (intelligent) life, though extremely rare, happens nonetheless somewhere; (f) for no reason at all, because the human notion of efficiency does not apply to God's actions. Instead, this paper suggests that the universe is intended for space settlements. Several objections to this proposal are considered and deemed unconvincing.

Published: June 2022

AbstractWe present an interesting case of concomitant congenital anomalies with an iatrogenic defect. The female patient underwent a percutaneous mitral balloon valvuloplasty due to rheumatic mitral stenosis. Unfortunately, an iatrogenic atrial septal defect (ASD) transpired during the procedure. Upon post‐procedure examination, partial anomalous pulmonary venous (PAPVR) return was observed. The patient was symptomatic; on imaging, dilatation of the right heart chambers were detected. In addition, another crucial point was that the patient was planning a pregnancy, thus robotic surgery for iatrogenic ASD and PAPVR return was recommended. After a successful operation, the patient was asymptomatic and the size of right heart chambers were normalized.
