Published: November 2022

PurposeThis article aims to know the direction of current research based on the previous research in the last ten years (2012–2021).Design/methodology/approachText mining was integrated with a network and content analysis as part of the mix methodological approach. The scientific articles, on the other hand, were assembled on Litmaps through web scraping. This process selected 86 articles about medical tourism published between 2012 and 2021. This study employed AntConc, RStudio and Gephi tools for data analysis and visualization.FindingsA total of 138 articles were identified through Litmaps using web scraping and 86 studies met the criteria. The trend of medical tourism research is a positive sign for tourism and health industries; this is the beginning to recognize the importance of elaborating on these two topics. Several researchers have frequently studied issues of destination, hospital, development, quality, stakeholders, surgery, service, economics and policy. Policymakers must establish a medical tourism ecosystem to accommodate all stakeholders in this industry. This study also recommends focusing on supply and institution for medical tourism future research.Research limitations/implicationsThis literature review presents research trends on medical tourism in 2012–2021 based solely on articles available on the Litmaps search engine. If the time span is extended and the sources of articles are expanded there will be more literature available for analysis. The articles obtained are also only articles published in English due to the language limitations of the author.Practical implicationsPolicymakers must establish a medical tourism ecosystem to accommodate all stakeholders in this industry. Stakeholders must work together to provide medical tourism package therefore people can get their health services while visiting available tourist areas.Originality/valueThe literary study of medical tourism over 10 years is considered the most recent systematic literature review.
Future thinking and managers’ innovative behavior: an experimental study
Authors: Eisenbart Boris , Lovallo Dan , Garbuio Massimo , Cristofaro Matteo , Dong Andy 
Published: November 2022

Purpose
Does future thinking enhance managers’ innovative behavior? This study aims to posit that the ability to project events while considering current/future variables and their development (i.e. future thinking) – inextricably linked with the knowledge creation process – may enhance the manager’s accuracy and the number of potentially successful innovative ideas for organizations.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors use a between-group experiment to examine the innovation choices of 47 subjects with experience in evaluating the market potential of new products when asked to support or otherwise reject real-life innovation-related ideas. The authors test the accuracy of decisions made by participants primed to apply future thinking, practically implemented through abductive reasoning, in their decision-making.

Findings
The authors found a significant change in managers’ innovative choices, with participants primed for future thinking making significantly more accurate decisions than the control group. Those participants both correctly chose innovation-related ideas with significant future potential and rejected ideas with limited potential that ultimately failed.

Originality/value
This study explores how future thinking enhances managers’ innovative behavior in organizations. It provides empirical evidence on how future thinking, practiced through abductive reasoning, can work to foster innovative behavior, which is an antecedent of knowledge creation. Organizations that foster future thinking concurrently create knowledge, increasing their competitive advantage in the long run.
Does voluntary non-financial reporting matter for the evaluation of audit risk after a crisis period? Perceptions from Italian auditors
Authors: Trucco Sara , Demartini Maria Chiara , McMeeking Kevin , Beretta Valentina 
Published: November 2022

PurposeThis paper aims to investigate the effect of voluntary non-financial reporting on the evaluation of audit risk from the auditors’ viewpoint in a post-crisis period. Furthermore, this paper analyses whether auditors perceive that voluntary non-financial reporting impacts audit risk differently for old clients as compared with new clients.Design/methodology/approachThis study is conducted on a sample of Italian audit firms through a paper-based questionnaire. Both Big4 and non-Big4 audit firms have been included in the sample.FindingsResults show that integrated reporting is perceived to be the most relevant reporting method and intellectual capital statement the least relevant. Surprisingly, empirical findings over the sample period show that auditors do not perceive statistically significant differences between old and new clients.Practical implicationsAuditors can identify opportunities to adapt their assessment model to include voluntary non-financial report information. Moreover, they can use different assessment models regarding the research variables in the case of new and old clients.Originality/valueEmpirical findings highlight the growing role of voluntary non-financial reporting in the auditors’ perception of their client’s audit risk. All the observed voluntary non-financial reporting forms, except for intellectual capital, are considered as relevant by auditors in the evaluation of their client’s audit risk when compared to an indifference point. In addition, findings reveal that female auditors perceive a reduced gap in the relevance between integrated reports and intellectual capital reports compared to their counterparts.
Work redesign in development perspective: An empirical study of multitasking among civil servants in Malawi
Authors: Chen Cheng , Chipao Bright Thokozani , Miao Qing 
Published: November 2022

AbstractCivil servants in many developing countries are increasingly faced with multitask situations at work to improve the efficiency of public sectors. Although multitasking might boost employee productivity, its potentially negative impact on other areas of employees’ lives has been ignored. Drawing upon the conservation of resources theory, our research aims to investigate whether, how, and when multitasking at work decreases the subjective well‐being of employees in the public sector. Using a two‐wave survey of 164 civil servants in Malawi, our findings showed that multitasking at work was positively related to employees’ negative affect and negatively related to their satisfaction with life and positive affect through emotional exhaustion. Moreover, the study found that polychronicity, which refers to one's preference to handle more than one task at the same time, moderated the relationship between multitasking and emotional exhaustion, such that the association described above was weaker when an employee's polychronicity was higher. Finally, the indirect impact of multitasking on positive affect through emotional exhaustion was also moderated by polychronicity. These findings provide some theoretical and managerial implications for public sector in developing countries on how to focus on employee well‐being while using multitasking work design.
Characteristics of skin injuries caused by power drill
Authors: Amadasi Alberto , Kock Timo , Kny Sandra , Amadasi Larissa , Tsokos Michael 
Published: November 2022

AbstractSkin injuries caused by power drills have been rarely reported. A case is described of a 51‐year‐old woman who was found dead on a motorway after committing suicide by jumping from a bridge. The body showed a total of nine circular/oval penetrating injuries of the chest and abdomen with very regular, smooth margins, and particular features due to the presence of “skin islands” inside the lesion and “short radial linear abrasions” around the margins. These injuries were caused by a power drill, which was later found in the woman's apartment. For comparison, experimental tests were carried out with the same drill and different bits on pig skin, whose appearance resembled those found on the body. Especially skin islands were also reproduced in the experimental tests. The presented case shows the possibility of this rare method of suicide (or suicide attempt) and the typical characteristics of such peculiar skin lesions that pose problems of differential diagnosis with other injuries such as gunshot injuries.
Prey‐mediated effects of mCry51Aa2‐producing cotton on the predatory nontarget bug Orius majusculus (Reuter)
Authors: Boss Anja , Romeis Jörg , Meissle Michael 
Published: November 2022

AbstractGenetically engineered (GE) cotton, MON 88702, is protected against certain sucking pests, such as plant bugs and thrips, by producing mCry51Aa2, a modified protein from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt). Predatory pirate bugs (Orius spp.), natural enemies contributing to biological pest control, are also sensitive to the insecticidal protein when exposed continuously to high concentrations.We evaluated effects of MON 88702 on Orius majusculus when fed prey types with different mCry51Aa2 concentrations. When neonates were provided exclusively Tetranychus urticae spider mites reared on MON 88702 (high mCry51Aa2 content), adverse effects on predator survival and development were confirmed, compared with specimens fed prey from near‐isogenic non‐Bt cotton. When fed a mixture of T. urticae and Ephestia kuehniella eggs (mCry51Aa2‐free), predator life table parameters were similar to the treatment where eggs were fed exclusively. When mCry51Aa2‐containing spider mites were provided for a limited time at the beginning or the end of juvenile development, effects were less pronounced. While pirate bug nymphs showed similar consumption rates for prey from Bt and non‐Bt cotton, choice experiments revealed a preference for E. kuehniella eggs over spider mites. Lepidopteran larvae (Spodoptera littoralis, high mCry51Aa2 content) or cotton aphids (Aphis gossypii, mCry51Aa2‐free) reared on MON 88702 as alternative prey did not result in adverse effects on O. majusculus.Our study suggests limited risk of mCry51Aa2‐producing cotton for O. majusculus, because its sensitivity for the Bt protein is relatively low and its natural food consists of diverse prey species with varying concentrations of Bt protein.
Internal locus of control buffers the impact of daily stressors on Australian Farmers' well‐being: A cross‐sectional study
Authors: Smallwood Rachael , Curcio Adam , Rebar Amanda L. 
Published: November 2022

AbstractObjectiveFarmers are prone to poor well‐being and are at higher risks of suicide than the general population. The aim of this study was to understand whether the negative impact of daily stressors on Australian farmers' well‐being could be buffered through a strong internal locus of control – a strong sense of control over what happens in life.MethodsAustralian farmers self‐reported their well‐being, daily stress, and locus of control.DesignCross‐sectional via pen‐and‐paper survey.SettingParticipants completed the surveys at the beginning of agricultural management training courses.ParticipantsAustralian farmers (N = 129, M age = 39 ± 12 years, 54.7% male).Main Outcome MeasuresInternal and external locus of control, daily stress, and subjective well‐being.ResultsMore daily stressors were associated to poorer well‐being, regardless of external locus of control; however, farmers with a stronger internal locus of control were buffered from the negative impacts of daily stressors. That is, daily stressors were not significantly associated with well‐being for farmers with a strong internal locus of control.ConclusionsInternal locus of control may be a significant factor in supporting good well‐being for farmers. Further research should investigate how to enhance internal locus of control amongst this population. It may be that interventions to enhance internal locus of control in farmers could improve their well‐being and productivity, good outcomes for the individual farmers, and global society overall.
Estimating the Area under the ROC Curve When Transporting a Prediction Model to a Target Population
Authors: Li Bing , Gatsonis Constantine , Dahabreh Issa J. , Steingrimsson Jon A. 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
We propose methods for estimating the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) of a prediction model in a target population that differs from the source population that provided the data used for original model development. If covariates that are associated with model performance, as measured by the AUC, have a different distribution in the source and target populations, then AUC estimators that only use data from the source population will not reflect model performance in the target population. Here, we provide identification results for the AUC in the target population when outcome and covariate data are available from the sample of the source population, but only covariate data are available from the sample of the target population. In this setting, we propose three estimators for the AUC in the target population and show that they are consistent and asymptotically normal. We evaluate the finite-sample performance of the estimators using simulations and use them to estimate the AUC in a nationally representative target population from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey for a lung cancer risk prediction model developed using source population data from the National Lung Screening Trial.
A Sensitivity Analysis Approach for the Causal Hazard Ratio in Randomized and Observational Studies
Authors: Axelrod Rachel , Nevo Daniel 
Published: November 2022

AbstractThe hazard ratio (HR) is often reported as the main causal effect when studying survival data. Despite its popularity, the HR suffers from an unclear causal interpretation. As already pointed out in the literature, there is a built-in selection bias in the HR, because similarly to the truncation by death problem, the HR conditions on post-treatment survival. A recently proposed alternative, inspired by the Survivor Average Causal Effect, is the causal HR, defined as the ratio between hazards across treatment groups among the study participants that would have survived regardless of their treatment assignment. We discuss the challenge in identifying the causal HR and present a sensitivity analysis identification approach in randomized controlled trials utilizing a working frailty model. We further extend our framework to adjust for potential confounders using inverse probability of treatment weighting. We present a Cox-based and a flexible non-parametric kernel-based estimation under right censoring. We study the finite-sample properties of the proposed estimation methods through simulations. We illustrate the utility of our framework using two real-data examples.

Published: November 2022

AbstractWhether high quantities of center‐based care cause behavior problems is a controversial question. Studies using covariate adjustment for selection factors have detected relations between center care and behavior problems, but studies with stronger internal validity less often find such evidence. We examined whether within‐child changes in hours in center‐based care predicted changes in externalizing problems in toddlers and preschoolers (N = 10,105; 49% female; data collection 1993–2012) in seven studies, including from Germany, Netherlands, Norway, two from Canada and two from the U.S. Race/ethnicity data were only collected in the United States (57% and 80% White; 42% and 13% African‐American; 1.2% and 5% Latinx). Meta‐analyses showed no association (r = .00, p = .88) between hours in center‐based care and externalizing problems.
[18F]PSMA‐1007 renal uptake parameters: Reproducibility and relationship to estimated glomerular filtration rate
Authors: Valind Kristian , Jögi Jonas , Minarik David , Trägårdh Elin 
Published: November 2022

AbstractBackgroundScintigraphy with technetium‐99m‐labelled dimercaptosuccinic acid ([99mTc]Tc‐DMSA) is widely used for renal cortical imaging. Uptake of [99mTc]Tc‐DMSA has been shown to correlate with glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Prostate‐specific membrane antigen (PSMA) radiopharmaceuticals used for positron emission tomography (PET) show high renal uptake and are being investigated for renal imaging. [68Ga]Ga‐PSMA‐11 PET parameters have been shown to correlate with estimated GFR (eGFR). The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between renal [18F]PSMA‐1007 uptake and eGFR.MethodsHundred and eighty‐five patients underwent PET imaging at 1 and 2 h after injection of 4.0 ± 0.2 MBq [18F]PSMA‐1007. Serum creatinine levels were measured and GFR estimated using the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD‐EPI) and Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) equations. Fifteen patients were excluded due to missing or incorrect data. Thus, data from 170 patients were analyzed. Kidneys were segmented in the PET images using a convolutional neural network with manual correction. For each kidney, mean standardized uptake value (SUVmean) and segmentation volume in millilitres were measured. Linear regression analyses were performed with eGFR as the outcome variable.ResultsVariation in the eGFR values was explained to a significant degree by SUVmean and renal segmentation volume in both the 1 and 2 h images. This correlation was stronger for CKD‐EPI eGFR (1 h R2 = 0.64; 2 h R2 = 0.64) than for MDRD eGFR (1 h R2 = 0.47; 2 h R2 = 0.45).ConclusionRenal [18F]PSMA‐1007 uptake parameters correlate with eGFR and are indicative of renal cortical function.
Treatment of fistulous cranial nuchal bursitis by complete surgical resection in two horses
Authors: Corraretti Giorgio , Meulyzer Michael , Gustafsson Kajsa 
Published: November 2022

SummaryEquine fistulous cranial nuchal bursitis, also known as poll evil, is a serious condition that can progress to cause neurological symptoms and tetraparesis. To date, the only reported effective surgical technique to treat this condition includes the resection of a large portion of the nuchal ligament. This appears to be an outdated and overly invasive surgery with current standards. This case report describes a previously unreported surgical technique, consisting of resection of the entire cranial nuchal bursa under standing sedation and local analgesia. Two horses treated using this technique both had resolution of clinical signs and were able to return to their intended use.
The vulnerability of Ireland's freshwater fish to climate change
Authors: Barry James , Radinger Johannes , Connor Lynda , Coyne John , Kelly Sean , Kelly Fiona L. 
Published: November 2022

AbstractClimate change can affect fish species directly (e.g. through physiological stress) or indirectly (e.g. species interactions). Whether individual species will experience net benefits or net losses is important to understand from a fisheries management perspective. Ireland has a unique freshwater fish community that faces considerable uncertainty in relation to the impact of climate change. Vulnerability of fish species and subspecies (n = 32) in Ireland were investigated through an expert‐based questionnaire and a trait‐based assessment. Fish species were assessed based on exposure, sensitivity and adaptive capacity. The expert‐based questionnaire predicted that one species, Arctic char Salvelinus alpinus was assigned the rank of high vulnerability, seven species were assigned moderate to high vulnerability, twenty species were assigned moderate vulnerability, and four species were of low to moderate vulnerability. Life‐history characteristics of the fish species were analysed to identify traits characteristic of vulnerable fish species (e.g. Vulnerability to fishing and Trophic level). Coldwater species are highly vulnerable, with indirect effects through interactions with other species or in combination with non‐climatic stressors (e.g. water quality & barriers to migration) being a significant concern. The results provide a vulnerability ranking for Ireland's freshwater fish, that can be utilised by fisheries managers and allows for prioritising of an often‐limited conservation resource.

AbstractBackgroundRegular physiotherapy with a physiotherapist experienced in the field is not feasible for many patients with haemophilia. We, therefore, developed a blended physiotherapy intervention for persons with haemophilic arthropathy (HA) (e‐Exercise HA), integrating face‐to‐face physiotherapy with a smartphone application.AimThe aim of the study was to determine proof of concept of e‐ Exercise HA and to evaluate feasibility.MethodsProof of concept was evaluated by a single‐case multiple baseline design. Physical activity (PA) was measured with an accelerometer during a baseline, intervention and post‐intervention phase and analysed using visual inspection and a single case randomisation test. Changes in limitations in activities (Haemophilia Activities List [HAL]) and a General Perceived Effect (GPE) were evaluated between baseline (T0), post‐intervention (T1) and 3 months post‐intervention (T2) using Wilcoxson signed rank test. Feasibility was evaluated by the number of adverse events, attended sessions and open‐ended questions.ResultsNine patients with HA (90% severe, median age 57.5 (quartiles 50.5–63.3) and median HJHS 32 (quartiles 22–36)) were included. PA increased in two patients. HAL increased mean 15 (SD 9) points (p = .001) at T1, and decrease to mean +8 points (SD 7) (p = .012) at T2 compared to T0. At T1 and T2 8/9 participants scored a GPE > 3. Median 5 (range 4–7) face‐to‐face sessions were attended and a median 8 out of 12 information modules were viewed. No intervention‐related bleeds were reported.ConclusionA blended physiotherapy intervention is feasible for persons with HA and the first indication of the effectiveness of the intervention in decreasing limitations in activities was observed.
Impact of internal migration on the economic well‐being of local workers and school dropouts among children in Vietnam
Authors: Hoang Trung Xuan , Le Nga Van Thi , Nguyen Thang Chien 
Published: November 2022

AbstractThis study examines the impact of migration on local workers and high school dropouts of local students. A conventional approach without addressing the endogeneity issue may lead to biased results. Our endogeneity‐corrected estimates show a positive impact of migration on the monthly wages of local workers. A higher share of migrants increases the probability of local workers with employment contracts, social insurance, and holiday pay. Heterogeneity analysis shows that local workers, no matter their educational level, work experience, or occupation sectors, benefit from the inflow of migrants. Finally, migration inflow lowers the probability of high school dropouts among local students. Our findings resulting from rigorous statistical approaches suggest that internal migration produces positive impacts on the economic well‐being of local residents, refuting the argument about the adverse effects associated with internal migration.
