A trip down memory lane to travellers’ food experiences
Authors: Afaq Anam , Gaur Loveleen , Singh Gurmeet 
Published: August 2022

PurposeResearch on food tourism has a significant impact on destination attractiveness. However, components interfacing food experiences and memory are under-researched topics in food tourism literature. Therefore, this study aims to present a framework based on the components of rememberable food experiences while travelling through the lens of the diffusion of sensory stimulation.Design/methodology/approachThis study adopted a qualitative application of “Memory-Work”, a social constructionist archetype suggested for food tourism-related research. A survey was conducted, and the respondents were asked an open-ended question.FindingsThe analysis found the components instigating these food experiences: Peculiar food and drink experience, setting/geographical location, companions and social interactions, celebrating occasions and touristic components (e.g. serendipitous travel experience and food nostalgic memory). Predominantly, rememberable food tourism experiences are more explicit than memorable tourism experiences.Research limitations/implicationsThe components mentioned in this framework illustrate that various food-related experiences should be involved in destination marketing. Service providers could use these components to create unique destination stories.Originality/valueThis study is the first to present a newly developed framework for food tourism service providers that incorporates sensory impressions with food memories to explore the connection between food memories associated with a destination.
Finding one's own way: how newcomers who differ stay well
Authors: Chen Jenny , Cooper-Thomas Helena D. 
Published: August 2022

PurposeBeing different from others can be stressful, and this may be especially salient for newcomers during organizational socialization when they may be expected to fit in. Thus, drawing on conservation of resources theory, the authors examine the effects of newcomers' individual differentiation on their subsequent emotional exhaustion.Design/methodology/approachThe authors test a multiple mediation model with data from 161 UK graduates collected at three times using structural equation modeling.FindingsThe results largely support the hypotheses, identifying individual differentiation as a motivational resource associated with the proactive behavior of changing work procedures. In turn, changing work procedures links with the personal resource of positive affect, which facilitates the relational resource of social acceptance and predicts lower emotional exhaustion. Individual differentiation predicts lower social acceptance also, but not via monitoring as anticipated.Originality/valueThe results provide novel insights into the effects of individual differentiation on emotional exhaustion in the context of organizational socialization. The study highlights that, while newcomers high in individual differentiation face depletion of the relational resource of social acceptance, they can still adjust well and avoid emotional exhaustion through changing work procedures to foster positive affect.
Conducting research by mixed methods: an autoethnography account of a PhD research in facilities management from a developing country
Authors: Amos Daniel 
Published: August 2022

PurposeDespite the increasing discourse on mixed methods (MM) in academic literature, less attention has been focused on its methodological development in the built environment in developing countries. This paper aims to examine the basis and challenges of the application of MM for health-care facilities management (FM) research in Ghana.Design/methodology/approachThis paper adopts autoethnography as its research method, coupled with a scholarly review of methodological literature to position a technical view on the application of mixed methods for health-care FM research in a developing country.FindingsThis paper contributes and lends support to the methodological strength of MM as epistemologically coherent and useful for understanding the intricacies of health-care FM. This paper advances the proposition that the nascent stage of FM development in Ghana, paucity of literature, epistemological and axiological considerations underscore the choice of a sequential MM. The attitude of research participants, ethical challenges and time-lapse for data analysis were observed as practical challenges.Research limitations/implicationsDiscussion of data integration is excluded.Practical implicationsThis paper provides a nuanced understanding of the concept of MM in health-care FM and set forth practical recommendations worthy to enhance the application of MM research.Originality/valueThis paper is among the few focusing on methodological discussion of health-care FM. This paper proposes a framework to guide researchers in the application of mixed methods.
Shariah compliance and stock price synchronicity: evidence from India
Authors: Farooq Omar , Ahmed Neveen 
Published: August 2022

PurposeThis paper aims to document the effect of shariah compliance on stock price synchronicity.Design/methodology/approachThis paper uses the data of non-financial firms from India and various estimation procedures (pooled OLS and instrument variable regression) to test the arguments presented in this paper. The time period of the study ranges between 2000 and 2019.FindingsThe results show that shariah-compliant firms have significantly higher levels of synchronicity than non-compliant firms. The findings hold after comprehensive inclusion of relevant controls and to a number of sensitivity tests. The authors attribute this result to the unique financial characteristics (lower levels of leverage, liquidity and cash) of shariah-compliant firms. The paper argues that these characteristics are related to better information environment which is responsible for higher levels of synchronicity. The paper also shows that the difference in the synchronicity levels of the two groups is less pronounced for those shariah-compliant firms that have relatively high levels of leverage and cash ratios.Originality/valueThe authors believe that this is an initial attempt to document the impact of shariah compliance on stock price synchronicity.

AbstractObjectiveTo investigate cardiovascular risk among diabetic patients with Sjögren syndrome.MethodsThis study was a nationwide population‐based case‐control study from 1997 to 2013, in which the association between autoimmune diseases and diabetes was investigated. The study population consisted of individuals with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes with macrovascular or microvascular complications with at least two outpatient visits or one hospitalization as the outcome variables, and the exposure variables included traditional risk factors, medications, and autoimmune diseases. The odds ratio of cardiovascular events among each prevalent autoimmune disease and hydroxychloroquine's effect on cardiovascular risk were analyzed.ResultsThe study included a total of 7026 individuals with diabetes with microvascular and macrovascular complications and the same number of patients in the control group. Sjögren syndrome was significantly higher in the diabetes complication group than in the non‐complication group (0.8% vs 0.5%,P = 0.036). By using multivariate analysis, we found hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and Sjögren syndrome to be three independent risk factors for diabetes vascular complications (odds ratio [OR] 1.96, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.82‐2.10; OR 1.53, 95% CI 1.42‐1.64; and OR 1.67, 95% CI 1.06‐2.65; respectively, allP < 0.05). Treatment with traditional statins and aspirin might be able to overcome the increased risk of developing cardiovascular events while comparing between diabetes patients with and without Sjögren syndrome.ConclusionSjögren syndrome is an unrecognized independent risk factor for cardiovascular events among diabetes patients, which indicates that patients with diabetes combined with Sjögren syndrome require closer follow up regarding cardiovascular complications in clinical settings. Treatment with hydroxychloroquine might not be enough to lower the cardiovascular risk significantly in diabetes patients with Sjögren syndrome.

AbstractObjectivePsoriatic arthritis (PsA), a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by heterogeneous clinical manifestations, substantially impacts the quality of life of affected individuals. This article aims at developing consensus recommendations for the management of PsA and associated comorbidities and screening and monitoring requirements of PsA therapies in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) population.MethodsAn extensive review of present international and regional guidelines and publications on the pharmacological management, monitoring of therapies in the context of PsA was performed. Key findings from guidelines and literature were reviewed by a panel of experts from the UAE at several meetings to align with current clinical practices. Consensus statements were formulated based on collective agreement of the experts and members of Emirates Society for Rheumatology.ResultsThe consensus recommendations were developed to aid practitioners in clinical decision‐making with respect to dosage recommendations for pharmacological therapies for PsA, including conventional drugs, non‐biologic, and biologic therapies. Consensus recommendations for therapeutic options for the treatment of PsA domains, including peripheral arthritis, axial disease, enthesitis, dactylitis, psoriasis, and nail disease, were developed. The panel emphasized the importance of monitoring PsA therapies and arrived at a consensus on monitoring requirements for PsA therapies. The expert panel proposed recommendations for the management of common comorbidities associated with PsA.ConclusionThese consensus recommendations can guide physicians and healthcare professionals in the UAE in making proper treatment decisions, as well as efficiently managing comorbidities and monitoring therapies in patients with PsA.
The Eternal Debate Over Conservatism and Prudence: A Historical Perspective on the Conceptualization of Asymmetry in Financial Accounting Theory*
Authors: Orthaus Selina , Pelger Christoph , Kuhner Christoph 
Published: August 2022

ABSTRACTThe recent revisions of conceptual frameworks (CFs) by the IASB and the FASB included changes to the status of prudence/conservatism, accompanied by a broader debate about the meaning and role of asymmetry in financial accounting theory (FinAT). This paper adopts a historical perspective to identify possible sources of the current controversies by examining how the discourse on asymmetry has developed over time. For this purpose, we trace the conceptualization of asymmetry in FinAT building from the 19th century until 2018, covering contributions to the US FinAT literature and the conceptual reasoning of standard setters (and their constituents) in the United States and at the international level. We identify four distinct constructs of asymmetry (ultra‐, specified, discretionary, and neutral asymmetry) developed in FinAT under the headings of “conservatism” and/or “prudence.” Our analysis reveals that the respective historical circumstances strongly influenced which notion and role of asymmetry were commonly accepted in FinAT, while the arguments underlying the debates were going in circles and were characterized by an increasing level of abstraction over time. We conclude that the controversy about asymmetry is partially due to conceptual ambiguity but also due to different assumptions about the objective of financial reporting and attributes of the preparer, which are indicative of two conflicting paradigms shaping the FinAT discourse on asymmetry. Our findings point to gaps and limitations in the deductive CFs currently employed by the IASB and FASB. Our study highlights future research potential regarding the construction of the preparer in standard setting and analyses of the ways in which deductive CFs (fail to) translate into consistent standards.
The ethanol inhibition of basolateral amygdala neuron spiking is mediated by a γ‐aminobutyric acid type A‐mediated tonic current
Authors: Nimitvilai‐Roberts Sudarat , Woodward John J. 
Published: August 2022

AbstractBackgroundThe basolateral nucleus of the amygdala (BLA) plays an important role in the development of fear and anxiety‐related behaviors. The BLA receives inputs from all sensory stimuli. After processing those stimuli, BLA neurons signal neurons within the central amygdala and other brain regions, including the ventral and dorsal striatum and frontal cortex. Studies suggest that the BLA is involved in drug dependence and in the reinforcing actions of ethanol. For example, acute exposure to ethanol reduces anxiety, while withdrawal from chronic ethanol exposure alters BLA synaptic transmission, which increases anxiety, a common underlying cause of relapse. Exposure to and withdrawal from chronic alcohol also disrupts many brain areas that connect with the BLA. Despite these important findings, the acute actions of alcohol on the intrinsic excitability of BLA neurons have not been fully characterized.MethodsBrain slices containing the BLA were prepared from adult C57BL/6J male mice. Whole‐cell and sharp electrode electrophysiological recordings were performed to characterize the effects of acute ethanol on BLA neuronal and astrocyte function, respectively.ResultsEthanol inhibited action potential (AP) firing of BLA neurons but had no effect on BLA astrocyte resting membrane potential. The ethanol‐induced inhibition of firing was concentration‐dependent (11 to 66 mM) and accompanied by a reduction in the input resistance and an increase in the rheobase of BLA neurons. The inhibitory effect of ethanol was suppressed by picrotoxin, which blocks both γ‐aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) and glycine receptors, but not by the selective glycine receptor antagonist strychnine, which suggests an involvement of GABAA receptors. Ethanol did not affect spontaneous inhibitory postsynaptic currents suggesting that the inhibition of BLA neuronal excitability by ethanol was not due to an increase in GABAA‐mediated synaptic transmission. However, acute ethanol enhanced the amplitude of the holding current of BLA neurons, an effect that was prevented by picrotoxin, which by itself reduced the holding current.ConclusionsThese results suggest that BLA neurons express a GABA‐mediated tonic current that is enhanced by acute ethanol, which leads to reduced excitability of BLA neurons.

AbstractIntroductionEating disorders (EDs) are considered serious mental illnesses, with one of the highest lethality among psychiatric disorders, even though the issue of mortality due to these conditions is still controversial. The present study was aimed at comparing the mortality rate in a cohort of ED patients representative of the geographic area with that of the age and gender‐matched general population of central Italy.MethodsPatients were enrolled between 1994 and 2018, among those attending the eating disorders treatment network of the Florence area (EDTN), which is a regional multidisciplinary treatment reference center for EDs covering the clinical population of the metropolitan Florence area (Italy). The life status of participants was determined through linkage with the Regional Mortality Registry.ResultsA total of 1277 individuals with EDs were included, including 368 with Anorexia Nervosa (AN), 312 with Bulimia Nervosa (BN), and 597 individuals with Binge Eating Disorder (BED). Twenty‐two patients (1.72%) died, during a median follow‐up of 7.4 years. The mortality rates among ED patients did not significantly differ from that of the general population of the same age and sex with a Standardized Mortality Ratio (SMR) of 1.19, 95% CI 0.79–1.81. Only among BN patients, the mortality was significantly increased after 10 years from clinical evaluation (SMR 11.24, 95% CI 3.62–34.84).ConclusionThe low mortality in EDs, compared to published studies, might be due to the EDTN treatment strategy, based on a large network which makes an integrated multidisciplinary team available for almost all the patients with EDs of the geographical area.

Published: August 2022

AbstractBackgroundThe myositis autoantibodies have been widely used clinically in recent years for the identification of an autoantibody‐associated clinical phenotype in dermatomyositis (DM) patients. However, correlations between myositis autoantibodies and clinical presentations in different populations are lacking, especially in Taiwan.ObjectivesTo investigate the correlations among cutaneous manifestations, myositis autoantibodies, and systemic diseases, including interstitial lung disease (ILD) and internal malignancy.MethodsA retrospective study of patients with histopathologically confirmed cutaneous manifestations of DM was conducted during 2005 to 2020 in Taiwan. A commercial line blot immunoassay technique was used to detect myositis autoantibodies.ResultsA total of 88 DM patients were enrolled, with a mean age of onset of 49.4 years old. The most common systemic features were myositis (56.8%, 50/88), internal malignancy (22.7%, 20/88), dysphagia (19.3%, 17/88), and ILD (17%, 15/88). Among the enrolled patients, 32 patients received serum myositis autoantibodies examination. The most common autoantibodies were ANA (50.7%, 37/73), followed by anti‐TIF1‐γ (34.4%, 11/32) and anti‐MDA5 (31.3%, 10/32) antibodies. Patients with Gottron sign (OR 5.6), arthritis (OR 23.35), or the presence of anti‐MDA5 antibody (OR 11.14) were more susceptible to progressing to ILD, whereas patients with pruritus (OR 1.04), dysphagia (OR 6.73), and the presence of ANA (OR 6.29) had significantly higher risks of developing internal malignancies.ConclusionsPhysicians should pay special attention to certain clinical features, which can help with the early detection of systemic diseases. Cancer screening and myositis autoantibodies examination should be conducted in all DM patients if applicable.

AbstractBackgroundImpaired microbial development and decreased levels of short‐chain fatty acids, particularly butyrate, is suggested to have a role in the development of atopic dermatitis (AD).MethodsFaecal microbiota composition, abundance of selected bacterial groups and fermentation metabolites were compared at 90, 180 and 360 days of life between 27 children who developed AD by age one (AD group), and 39 controls (non‐AD group) among the CARE (Childhood AlleRgy, nutrition and Environment) study cohort.ResultsDiversity within the Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes phyla in the faecal microbiota was lower in the AD group compared with the non‐AD group. Longitudinal analysis showed multiple amplicon sequence variants (ASV) within the same bacterial family to be differentially abundant. Namely, Ruminococcus bromii, a keystone primary starch degrader, and Akkermansia muciniphila, a mucin‐utilizer, had lower abundance among the AD group. Children with AD were less likely to have high levels of faecal butyrate at 360 days compared with those without AD (11.5% vs 34.2%). At 360 days, children with high abundance of R. bromii had higher level of butyrate as well as lower proportion of children with AD compared to children with low abundance of R. bromii (11.1–12.5% vs 44.4–52.5%), which was independent of the abundance of the major butyrate producers.ConclusionOur results suggested that R. bromii and other primary degraders might play an important role in the differences in microbial cross‐feeding and metabolite formation between children with and without AD, which may influence the risk of developing the disease.

Published: August 2022

AbstractBackgroundGroove pancreatitis (GP) is an underrecognised subtype of chronic pancreatitis, focally affecting the area between the duodenum and pancreatic head. It most commonly affects males between 40 and 50 years of age with a history of alcohol misuse. Patients most commonly complain of abdominal pain and vomiting. Due to its focal nature, it is a potentially surgically treatable form of chronic pancreatitis. We report results of patients surgically treated for groove pancreatitis followed by a literature review of patient outcomes post resection.MethodsA retrospective chart review of patients with histopathologically confirmed GP post‐surgical resection at the Princess Alexandra Hospital and Greenslopes Private Hospital in Brisbane, Australia was conducted between 2013 and 2020. Diagnosis was confirmed histologically when Brunner gland hyperplasia and chronic inflammation/fibrosis were found within the pancreaticoduodenal interface. Preoperative and postoperative symptoms were analysed along with complications. Additionally, a systematic review on outcomes of patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) for GP was performed from three databases.ResultsEight patients underwent surgery for GP. Elimination of preoperative symptoms was achieved in five of the eight patients. Major complications included one take back to theatre for pancreatic leak. Our literature review found complete resolution of pain and vomiting in 80% of GP patients after PD.ConclusionOptimal management of GP begins with early recognition. Symptoms from GP are likely to respond well to surgical intervention. We advocate for aggressive surgical resection in a patient with a high index of suspicion for GP.
