Abstract

Objective
To determine the extent to which following an exercise training program can modify dietary habits and adherence to the Mediterranean diet (MD) compared with a counseling group.

Methods
These are secondary analyses from the FLAMENCO (Fitness League Against MENopause COst) project. The present randomized controlled trial included 150 perimenopausal women who were randomized into counseling (n = 75) or exercise (n = 75) groups. The counseling group attended conferences on a healthy lifestyle. The exercise group followed concurrently a 4-month (60 min/session, 3 d/wk) training and did not take part in the conferences. A validated food frequency questionnaire and the Mediterranean diet score were used to assess dietary habits and adherence to the MD, respectively.

Results
The fish/shellfish intake was reduced in the counseling group and increased in the exercise group, with a difference between groups of 1.16 servings/wk (P < 0.01). The counseling group reduced their beer intake, and the exercise group increased it, with a difference between groups of 1.07 servings/wk (P < 0.01).

Conclusion
The exercise intervention did not have a significant impact on dietary habits or MD adherence scores in perimenopausal women. Notwithstanding, women in the exercise group increased their beer consumption, which might have been promoted by the social meetings after the exercise training.
Undifferentiated Endometrial Carcinoma—Diagnostic and Therapeutic Challenges
Authors: Lee Yow-Shan , Lee Cheng-Han 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Undifferentiated/dedifferentiated endometrial carcinoma is clinically highly aggressive, particularly when it is defined by inactivation of core SWI/SNF proteins (co-loss of ARID1B, loss of SMARCA4, or loss SMARCB1 expression). We report here the case of a 37-year-old woman who presented with menorrhagia and the subsequent pathologic and clinical workup showed an advanced-stage ARID1A/ARID1B-deficient mismatch repair–proficient undifferentiated endometrial carcinoma. Despite pelvic external beam radiation and platinum/taxane-based chemotherapy (4 of 6 planned cycles), the patient experienced disease progression with osseous metastasis to her left elbow and died of her disease 7 months after clinical presentation. This case highlights the diagnostic and treatment challenges associated with such undifferentiated/dedifferentiated cancer types of the endometrium.

Authors: Lee Dong Hoon , Jeong Jae-ho , Lim Sang Chul 
Published: September 2022

Introduction:
A mononostril endoscopic approach was attempted for bilateral sphenoid sinus lesions. The objective of this study was to introduce the surgical method along with treatment results for patients.

Methods:
We retrospectively analyzed 16 patients who underwent a mononostril endoscopic surgery for bilateral sphenoid lesions from 2018 to 2022.

Results:
Endoscopic mononostril surgery for bilateral sphenoid lesions was performed for 13 cases under general anesthesia and 3 cases under local anesthesia. The surgical approach to the sphenoid sinus was transnasal approach in 8 cases and transethmoidal in 8 cases. Among those with bilateral sphenoid sinuses lesions, fungal ball and sinusitis were the most common. After surgery, the size of the sphenoid sinus opening remained almost the same in 14 patients. It decreased but maintained in 2 patients. There was no recurrence of sphenoid lesions.

Conclusion:
The mononostril endoscopic approach for bilateral sphenoid lesions is a feasible, safe, effective, and minimally invasive surgical technique.

Improving self-perceived emotional–social competencies with relational outcomes through the strength deployment inventory
Authors: Li Dan , Patterson Michael 
Published: September 2022

Purpose
This paper aims to determine whether performing an emotional intelligence (EI) intervention improves employees’ self-perceived emotional–social competencies (ESC) to achieve relational outcomes in firms based in China.

Design/methodology/approach
Based on a qualitative, interpretive approach through purposive sampling, this paper explored the impacts the Strengths Deployment Inventory (SDI) 2.0 intervention might have upon Chinese employees regarding ESC and relational outcomes. Data was collected from 18 semi-structured interviews with Chinese executives and individual contributors.

Findings
The findings suggested that ESC could be developed and improved in Chinese employees. The SDI 2.0 intervention may effectively bring about positive EI shifts and relevant attitudinal and behavioral changes related to work relationships.

Practical implications
The developed ESC and relational outcomes provide practitioners with insight to better understand the role training plays in organizational effectiveness, as well as to implement the SDI 2.0 program in human resource practices of Chinese organizations to develop personnel and promote high-quality work relationships.

Originality/value
This study gains significance by highlighting the effectiveness of the SDI 2.0 intervention in enhancing respondents’ ESC with relational outcomes from the perspectives of Chinese firms. Thus, supporting the effectiveness of EI training in the Chinese workplace and introducing the EI training literature the SDI 2.0 tool.
All without leaving home: building a conceptual model of virtual tourism experiences
Authors: Wei Wenqi , Baker Melissa A. , Onder Irem 
Published: September 2022

Purpose
This study aims to use mixed methods to create a new conceptual framework to understand the unique characteristics of virtual tourism experiences (VTE), which has not been systemically examined.

Design/methodology/approach
Study 1 uses topic modeling with Latent Dirichlet Allocation to analyze 91,609 online reviews from the Airbnb Experience platform. Study 2 uses content analysis of open-ended qualitative responses from VTE customers. The two studies together are used to build a new conceptual model.

Findings
Building upon the Stimulus–Organism–Response (S-O-R) model and the experience economy, results present a new conceptual model and identify VTE as unique in terms of Stimulus (education, entertainment, esthetics, escapism and connection), Organism (experiencing synchronicity, telepresence, participation and customization, emotion) and Response (evaluation and behavioral responses). Given the uniqueness of VTE, the new construct of the virtual servicescape is incorporated, recognizing the host, the focal customer and other customers, and the technology as the four main components.

Practical implications
The proposed framework can be used to guide the design, development, and evaluation of VTE, including identifying the key considerations, engagement within the ecosystem and providing guidance to hosts and operators.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study that systematically explores VTE and proposes the theoretical framework to comprehensively understand this new form of experience in sharing economy by combining the unique aspects of the stimulus, organism, response and virtual servicescape.
The impact of the mortgage on the real estate market: a study case in Saudi Arabia
Authors: Ajeeb Samar , Lai Wei Sieng 
Published: September 2022

Purpose
This study attempts to find the response of the real estate market to economic changes by identifying cause-effect relationships between mortgage, residential investment, and Saudi employment.

Design/methodology/approach
A quantitative approach to analytically examine the relationship among the variables. To find out the impact of investment, mortgage and Saudi employment on the Saudi real estate growth from 1970 to 2019. All data sets were obtained from the General Authority for Statistics (GAST), Saudi Central Bank (SAMA) and World Bank Group.

Findings
This study reveals a positive relationship between the mortgage and GDP in the Saudi Arabian real estate market. The same results for employment and investment; both have a positive effect on the GDP of the real estate market.

Research limitations/implications
Analyzing the impact of real estate financing on various industries and the extent to which it is related to employment and unemployment rates is essential for future research. Moreover, this research can be applied to different countries and compared based on similarities and differences in implementing mortgage-related policies.

Practical implications
The government must encourage investment in various ways and establish a stable structure that ensures market stability and finds a balance between supply and demand.

Social implications
This study reflects the importance of real estate financing not only to individuals and governments but also to investors and business workers, and it is essential to analyze the impact of real estate financing on various industries, as well as the extent to which it is related to employment and unemployment rates. This research can be applied to different countries and compared based on similarities and differences in the implementation of mortgage-related policies.

Originality/value
This study contributes to testing this study’s hypothesis: that mortgage positively impacts the real estate market of Saudi Arabia.
Addressing dereliction and devaluation in urban tourism: the case of Cork, Ireland
Authors: Horgan Donagh , Baum Tom 
Published: September 2022

Purpose
This paper aims to focus on increasingly entrepreneurial approaches to urban governance in the country’s second city Cork, where neoliberal strategy has driven uneven spatial development.

Design/methodology/approach
This paper combines insights from literature review with new knowledge derived from interviews with key informants in the city.

Findings
Post-colonial themes provoke a consideration of how uneven power dynamics stifle social innovation in the built environment.

Research limitations/implications
Assembled narratives expose opaque aspects of governance, ownership and participation, presenting opportunities for rethinking urban vacancy through placemaking.

Practical implications
These draw on nuanced models for tourism as a platform for a broader discourse on rights to the city.

Social implications
A century after independence, Ireland is recast as a leading small European economy, away from historical framings of a rural economic backwater of the British Empire.

Originality/value
The model of success is based on a basket of targeted investment policies and somewhat dubious indicators for growth.
Determinants of Islamic social reporting disclosure and its effect on firm’s value
Authors: Susbiyani Arik , Halim Moh , Animah Animah 
Published: September 2022

Purpose
This paper aims to examine the effect of the independent board of commissioners and profitability on Islamic social reporting (ISR) disclosure implemented in companies that belong to the group category of Indeks Saham Syariah Indonesia (ISSI). This study also examined the advanced effect of ISR disclosure as a company strategy to obtain a firm’s value.

Design/methodology/approach
The data of the independent board of commissioners, profitability, ISR disclosure and firm’s value were obtained from the annual reports of companies whose shares belong to the calculation of ISSI, totaling 24 companies. The ISR disclosure was measured using the content analysis method. While the research model used path analysis.

Findings
This study found that the independent board of commissioners directly affects the ISR disclosure while indirectly affects the firm’s value as mediated by the ISR disclosure. This finding indicates that the independent board of commissioners is regarded as capable of protecting investors’ interests from problems that may be incurred from asymmetry information. However, this study failed to prove that profitability directly affects the ISR disclosure.

Research limitations/implications
A list of ISR disclosure items in this research adopted the list developed by Haniffa and Othman, without any additional items. While the measurement of ISR disclosure used the content analysis, therefore there may be subjectivity issues accidentally done while scoring.

Practical implications
This study recommends management of companies which belong to ISSI to optimize their independent board of commissioners because it has been proven in this study that their presence can significantly encourage a more independent, objective and fair climate while one of its main principles is to pay attention to the interests of minority shareholders and other stakeholders. Besides, the findings can be used to increase awareness of the company management about the importance of transparency in managing a company because the ISR disclosure has received positive responses from investors.

Social implications
The findings of this study encourage companies to be more transparent in presenting information. An appropriate disclosure will provide a sense of security so that the investors can account for such earthly issues before Allah SWT, thus their spiritual satisfaction can be achieved.

Originality/value
This paper investigated further the effect of ISR disclosure on firm’s value which has never been performed by previous scholars. The ISR disclosure is a strategy to obtain legitimacy from investors, which was analyzed using the legitimacy theory.
‘If there was no jaad’: poetics of khat and remembering the future in a London Somali community
Authors: Ermansons Guntars 
Published: September 2022

AbstractThe Somali people have suffered from a devastating civil war and large‐scale forced displacement since the late 1980s. This article is based on ethnographic fieldwork with Northwest London Somalis during the khat (Catha edulis) control debates that led to the prohibition of the substance in June 2014. It argues that diaspora poetics can become an expression of a deeply divisive past offering ways to rearticulate ruptured interpersonal and community relationships in terms of their restorative potential. When Somali diaspora people in the United Kingdom used poetry to engage in the khat prohibition debates, the anti‐khat poems entangled this mild stimulant with the Somali history of state collapse and displacement. This revealed that, for Somalis, the stakes of the prohibition vastly exceeded concerns about potential social and health harms of khat in the United Kingdom. The poetics of khat situate acts of remembering within a distinctive conception of ideas about Somali nationhood, the need for conciliation, and visions of a common future. Yet remembering proved to be less about nostalgic longing for the past and more about enacting new moral and political relations enabled by the momentum of the khat prohibition.
Why we blame victims, accuse witches, invent taboos, and invoke spirits: a model of strategic responses to misfortune
Authors: Boyer Pascal 
Published: September 2022

AbstractExplanations of misfortune are the object of much cultural discourse in most human societies. Recurrent themes include the intervention of superhuman agents (gods, ancestors, etc.), witchcraft, karma, and the violation of specific rules or ‘taboos’. In modern large‐scale societies, people often respond by blaming the victims of, for example, accidents and assault. These responses may seem both disparate and puzzling, in the sense that the proposed accounts of untoward events provide no valuable information about their causes or the best way to prevent them. However, these responses make sense if we see them in an evolutionary context, where accidents, assault, and illness were common occurrences, the only palliative being social support to victims. This would create a context in which all members of a group might be (a) required to offer support, (b) willing to offer such support to maintain a reputation as co‐operators, and (c) desirous to limit that support because of its cost. In this context, recurrent explanations of misfortune would constitute strategic attempts to create and broadcast a specific description of the situation that concentrates responsibility and potential costs on a few individuals. This strategic model accounts for otherwise perplexing features of explanations based on mystical harm (ancestors, witchcraft, etc.), as well as the tendency to denigrate victims, and offers new predictions about those cultural phenomena.
THE PRACTICE OF INFORMALITY: Hustling, Anticipating and Refusing in the Postindustrial City
Authors: Ziv Tali 
Published: September 2022

AbstractDrawing upon three years of ethnographic research conducted in drug and alcohol recovery houses and treatment centers in Philadelphia, this article argues that attending to the practice of informality in the subproletariat and precarious working classes of the postindustrial US city helps elucidate the twinned legacies of informality and surveillance in racialized US urban poverty. To do so, it recuperates Bourdieu's practice theory with the invigorating insights of Black studies on the historic legacies of racializing surveillance to theorize the practice of informality in the postindustrial US city. Ultimately, the article argues that informal practice offers a space of concealment forged through the evasion and countersurveillance of racializing surveillance in the postindustrial US city.
Dynamic and static balance functions in hemodialysis patients and non‐dialysis dependent CKD patients
Authors: Shirai Nobuyuki , Yamamoto Suguru , Osawa Yutaka , Tsubaki Atsuhiro , Morishita Shinichiro , Narita Ichiei 
Published: September 2022

AbstractIntroductionChronic kidney disease (CKD) patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) have a high risk of falls, whereas the impairment in balance function and their types in HD compared with non‐dialysis dependent (ND) CKD have not been fully evaluated.MethodsWe conducted a cross‐sectional study to assess the balance function in 91 ND‐CKD and 65 HD patients. The participants underwent the timed up‐and‐go (TUG) test to assess dynamic balance and the length of the center of pressure (CoP) with open eyes or closed eyes to evaluate static balance.ResultsTUG, length of CoP with open eyes, and length of CoP with closed eyes were longer in HD patients compared with those with ND‐CKD. Multiple regression analysis showed that dialysis treatment independently affected TUG and length of CoP with open eyes.ConclusionThe dynamic and static balance functions are impaired in HD patients compared with ND‐CKD patients.
The role of the global financial system in financing the transition to net zero
Authors: Michie Alex 
Published: September 2022

AbstractThere is no net‐zero world without a sustainable trading system, and trade finance is estimated to contribute to between 80–90 per cent of all world trade. The first steps toward green ECAs have been taken, with the agreement announced at COP26 to end export credit support of unabated coal‐fired power plants and the first net zero commitments to be made by leading ECAs. In the coming months, there is an opportunity for the broader ECA community to step into the net zero‐fold and work with private finance, policy makers, scientists, and civil society to accelerate an orderly and just transition to a net zero global economy. Our world depends on it.
A future multipolar world
Authors: Lloyd Michael , Dixon Chris 
Published: September 2022

AbstractThe contemporary geopolitical world is unipolar, with the US (aided by its Western allies) attempting to impose a specific ideological polity on the rest of the world. The analysis developed in this paper is that such an absolutist political approach is dangerous to the peaceful stability of the world order and fails to appreciate the dynamic, interleaved layering across economic, trade, monetary, security, and politico‐cultural functionality. These interactions are structuring the establishment of a limited number of supra‐regions, interacting functionally, within and across the wide geographical areas concerned. This strengthening tendency should be seen as a positive evolutionary strategy that may lead to a multipolar world order that can be effective in achieving a constructive and consensual approach to the peaceful resolution of global conflicts, while allowing essential politico‐cultural diversity. This approach and its implications for UN reform are explored.
Random errors are neither: On the interpretation of correlated data
Authors: Ives Anthony R. 
Published: September 2022

AbstractMany statistical models currently used in ecology and evolution account for covariances among random errors. Here, I address five points: (i) correlated random errors unite many types of statistical models, including spatial, phylogenetic and time‐series models; (ii) random errors are neither unpredictable nor mistakes; (iii) diagnostics for correlated random errors are not useful, but simulations are; (iv) model predictions can be made with random errors; and (v) can random errors be causal?These five points are illustrated by applying statistical models to analyse simulated spatial, phylogenetic and time‐series data. These three simulation studies are paired with three types of predictions that can be made using information from covariances among random errors: predictions for goodness‐of‐fit, interpolation, and forecasting.In the simulation studies, models incorporating covariances among random errors improve inference about the relationship between dependent and independent variables. They also imply the existence of unmeasured variables that generate the covariances among random errors. Understanding the covariances among random errors gives information about possible processes underlying the data.Random errors are caused by something. Therefore, to extract full information from data, covariances among random errors should not just be included in statistical models; they should also be studied in their own right. Data are hard won, and appropriate statistical analyses can make the most of them.
