Antecedents and consequences of telecommuting on public organizations in Iran: the case of west Azerbaijan province
Authors: Bashir Khodaparasti Ramin , Bagheri Garbollagh Hooshmand 
Published: January 2022

PurposeTelecommuting can reduce traffic congestion, energy consumption, prevalence and a death toll of COVID-19 among employees due to less transportation and fewer physical contacts among employees, on the one hand, and efficiently develop their use of information and communications technology, on the other hand. In this regard, the present study aims to explore antecedents and consequences of telecommuting in public organizations.Design/methodology/approachThe study used a descriptive survey method to collect data. The statistical population includes all employees of government organizations in West Azerbaijan province in 2020, which according to the collected information, their number is equal to 63,079 employees. Based on Cochran's formula, a sample size of 686 people was obtained; stratified random sampling was used to select sampling. The process of calculating the sample volume was such that after referring to the preliminary sample and processing the collected data, the variance of the given answers was approximately 0.446. After obtaining the variance of the data, assuming a maximum acceptable error of 5% and a significance level of 0.05, the Cochran's formula calculated the sample size to be 686 people. In order to collect and measure data for the study, a standard questionnaire and the collected data were analyzed using structural equation modeling.FindingsFindings indicate that there is no meaningful relationship between the employees' physical job conditions or the quality of their life with telecommuting and that telecommuting does not have a significant effect on their life. However, job burnout, training and telecommuting experience have a significant positive effect on telecommuting, which in turn has a positive and significant effect on job security, job flexibility, organizational performance and overall productivity of employees.Research limitations/implicationsThis research is a cross-sectional study, and its data have been collected in a certain period of time, while longitudinal research can provide a richer result. Future research can benefit from the impact of employee isolation and telecommuter organizational commitment.Originality/valueThis study hopes to contribute to the increase of the scientific knowledge in the telecommuting field and to allow organizations to rethink the telecommuting strategies to optimize resources and costs and to improve the organization's productivity without harming the quality of life and well-being of their workers.

Published: January 2022

Purpose
This study aims to examine how health-care managers in acute care and post-acute care facilities support and plan to improve transitional care for cardiac patients and their family caregivers, to better manage care in the home.

Design/methodology/approach
A qualitative descriptive approach, guided by appreciative inquiry was used in this study. A purposive sample of 16 participants were engaged in the study. Participants completed a demographic questionnaire, the caregiver policy lens questionnaire and participated in one of four focus group interviews. The semi-structured focus group interviews were audio-recorded and analyzed using thematic analysis.

Findings
Using Donabedian’s framework, six major themes contributed to how health-care managers can improve transitional care: structure included supporting personnel and continuing education; process included enacting approaches of care, coordinating care among the health-care team and calling to work upstream; and outcomes included needing to clarify expectations of home care services and witnessing the impact of the caregiver role.

Originality/value
These findings demonstrate the importance of Donabedian’s core dimensions of structure and processes in influencing caregiver outcomes. These results emphasize the central role of the manager in influencing system change to improve transitional care.

Published: January 2022

PurposeThis study has conceptualized and empirically investigated how the psychological empowerment process is generated from a patient's cognitive knowledge and participation at different recovery places that results in a state of empowerment and predicts positive outcomes.Design/methodology/approachData were collected from 150 physiotherapy outpatients who have been attending a series of physiotherapy courses at clinic and concurrently progressing with home physio exercise plan. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM) with SmartPLS software.FindingsThe results reveal that psychological empowerment best formed when patient centric knowledge is combined with place-based behavioral experiences that are gathered via healthcare encounters and experience patient gained outside of the clinic. Patients' involvement at different environmental settings contributes to patients' empowerment which further assists their well-being.Practical implicationsUnderstanding the process of empowerment in different environmental contexts can help healthcare organizations to better design patient empowerment strategies and support patients through the empowerment journey to demonstrate their capability to achieve more effective health recovery outcomes.Originality/valuePatient empowerment is a concept of growing importance in the healthcare industry, yet the journey about how patients are being empowered within their sphere has not been well studied in the past. To the authors' knowledge, this study is the first study that discusses the utilization of patient empowerment must be aimed at both the process and the outcomes. This study provides empirical insights to understand the factors that formulate patient empowerment and predicts positive patient outcomes such as feelings of well-being.
A review of knowledge management research in the past three decades: a bibliometric analysis
Authors: Farooq Rayees 
Published: January 2022

Purpose
This study aims to conduct a bibliometric analysis on knowledge management from journals in the Scopus database between 1988 and 2021. The paper covered the past three decades of publications and carried out performance analysis and science mapping analysis of articles.

Design/methodology/approach
The study uses bibliometrics, performance analysis and science mapping analysis of 1,016 articles extracted from the Scopus database. The study examined the scientific productivity of articles, productive authors, citable documents, most relevant institutions, cited countries, co-occurrence of keywords, thematic mapping, co-citations and collaboration of authors and countries. The study used Biblioshiny as a tool to carry out the performance analysis and science mapping analysis.

Findings
The results show that the number of publications has significantly increased in the past decade, 88.4% of authors contribute at least a single article, 8.3% of authors published two articles, 2% of the authors published three documents and 0.6% of the authors contribute four papers. The USA, China and Australia were the most productive countries in terms of the total number of citations and foreign collaborations. Journal of Knowledge Management, Knowledge Management Research and Practice, VINE Journal of Information and Knowledge Management and International Journal of Technology Management are the top outlets in the knowledge management literature.

Originality/value
Over the past decade, the research on knowledge management construct has exploded because of the growing interest of researchers and practitioners in the field. Despite being a well-developed field, few studies have applied bibliometric analysis in the knowledge management literature. The study is more comprehensive in terms of the actors and methods involved in analyzing the scientific production of articles in the area of knowledge management.

Published: January 2022

AbstractThe gut microbiota has a fundamental role in the development and the maturation of the host immune system. Both innate and adaptive immune cells have critical functions in microbial pathogen containment and clearance, but the regulation of the commensal microbiome ecosystem in the gastrointestinal tract by these major immune cell populations is incompletely defined. The role of specific innate and adaptive immune cell in the regulation of the microbiota in the intestinal tract biogeographically was investigated. Dendritic cells, macrophages, CD4+ T‐cells, CD8+ T‐cells, and B‐cells were depleted using monoclonal antibodies and clodronate liposomes, and the microbial communities were determined by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. With specific immune cell depletion, distinct microbiota changes were observed. In general, immune cell depleted mice had higher microbiota richness and evenness at all gut anatomical sites. At each gut segment, samples from immune cell‐depleted animals clustered away from the isotype/liposome control mice. This was especially dramatic for the small intestinal microbiota. Specifically, Enterobacteriaceae, Bacteroides acidifaciens, and Mucispirillum schaedleri were highly enriched in the mucosa and lumen of the small intestine in immune cell‐deficient animals. Further, the mucosal microbiota had higher microbiota evenness compared with luminal microbiota at all gut segments, and the UniFrac distance between B cell depleted and isotype control mice was the largest in the duodenum followed by the ileum and colon. Taken together, the data suggest that innate and adaptive immune cells specifically contribute to the regulation of the gut microbiota's biogeographical distribution along the gastrointestinal tract, and microbiota in the duodenum mucosa are more responsive to host immune changes compared with other anatomical sites.
Machismo and other Intimacies in Twentieth‐Century Bolivia: Reflections on Conducting Oral Histories about Sexuality and Reproduction
Authors: Kimball Natalie L. 
Published: January 2022

AbstractThrough an analysis of two oral history interviews, this article examines the impact of machismo, closed‐mindedness and blame on women's sexual experiences in the urban Andes between the mid‐1970s and 2009. The testimonies of Marcela and her daughter, Graciela, also shed light on the processes by which gender ideologies and cultural values concerning sexuality are transmitted across generations. The article further addresses the ethical and methodological challenges of conducting interviews on sensitive themes and interpreting the resulting testimonies. It argues that interviewing individuals about their sexual and reproductive lives, while forcing oral historians to confront personal and political fears, enriches our understanding of a range of gender‐related phenomena.
Compromising on compromise rules
Authors: Barberà Salvador , Coelho Danilo 
Published: January 2022

AbstractWe propose three mechanisms to reach compromise between two opposing parties. They are based on the use of Rules of k Names, whereby one of the parties proposes a shortlist and the other chooses from it. Methods of this class are used in practice to appoint Supreme Court justices and have been recently proposed for arbitration selection processes. Those we suggest are flexible and allow the parties to participate in the endogenous determination of the role of proposer and the shortlist size. They involve few stages, implement the Unanimity Compromise Set, and are robust to the strategic inclusion of candidates.
Set‐up of a population‐based model to verify alcohol abstinence via monitoring of the direct alcohol marker phosphatidylethanol 16:0/18:1
Authors: Van Uytfanghe Katleen , Heughebaert Liesl , Abatih Emmanuel , Stove Christophe P. 
Published: January 2022

AbstractBackground and aimsPhosphatidylethanol 16:0/18:1 (PEth) is a biomarker for alcohol intake. It has a half‐life of 7.9 days. Chronic alcohol consumption causes high PEth values. It can take weeks before PEth values fall below the decision limit for ‘alcohol abstinence’. Our aim was to validate whether alcohol abstinence can be determined based on two consecutive PEth results above the decision limit.DesignObservational study.SettingBelgium, February 2019. The study was linked to a social initiative in Belgium, ‘Tournée Minérale’.ParticipantsAdults (aged > 18 years, n = 796) with varying drinking habits who self‐reportedly refrained from alcohol consumption during the study.MeasurementsA validated liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry method was used to quantify PEth in participants’ dried blood samples, collected at three time‐points via remote fingerprick‐based self‐sampling.FindingsA population‐based algorithm to evaluate abstinence based on 95% prediction limits was developed by fitting a linear mixed‐effect model to discern patterns in PEth elimination over time. It took intra‐ and inter‐individual variability into consideration. The algorithm was included in a two‐step decision tree, assessing whether (i) PEth values fell within the prediction interval and (ii) the slope between two PEth values was consistent with no alcohol consumption. Data for 74 participants reporting no alcohol intake during the study were used for validation. With a detection limit of ‘four units spread over 14 days’, the sensitivity and specificity of the decision tree was 89%.ConclusionsClaims of alcohol abstinence can be verified using a two‐step decision tree for phosphatidylethanol 16:0/18:1 values, even when those values are above the limit for ‘alcohol abstinence’.

Published: January 2022

AbstractThe little red flying‐fox (Pteropus scapulatus, Pteropodidae) is the most widely distributed of the four Australian mainland flying‐fox (Pteropus) species. They move very large distances following foraging resources and congregate in large numbers which often causes human‐animal conflict. To better understand the resources that drive these movements and aggregations, we investigated the diet of the little red flying‐fox using data from five sources: (i) faecal eDNA metabarcoding of field sampled little red flying‐foxes; (ii) identification of foraging locations through satellite tracking; (iii) a literature search; (iv) a search of online databases; and (v) an expert survey. Our sources revealed a specialist nectarivore diet containing 204 species, dominated by floral products from the plant family Myrtaceae. We consider a small number of widely occurring and structurally dominant Myrtaceae, particularly from the genera Corymbia, Eucalyptus and Melaleuca, as major diet species that regularly drive mass aggregations. In addition, we consider a moderate number of species dominated by the Myrtaceae as important diet species and a large number of species from diverse taxa as supplementary diet species. Fruit represents approximately 5% of the diet suggesting that the little red flying‐fox is unlikely to be a major pest of horticultural crops or disperser of weeds. The combination of long‐distance movement and a wide range of diet species results in a long‐distance pollination service to many plant species which likely promotes genetic mixing between isolated populations of plants. Our understanding of the little red flying‐fox diet allows us to better predict mass migrations and aggregations at a continental scale and allows us to clearly identify key foraging habitat so that informed management decisions can be made.

AbstractIn spite of decreasing the overall incidence of gastric cancer (GC), it remains one of the most common and deadly cancers worldwide. The incidence and mortality rate of GC is very different in the world. Geographical differentiation is one of the most distinctive characteristics of GC. Effective prevention and early diagnostic strategies are the most important public health interventions in GC, as a common malignancy worldwide. Notably, the preventive strategies require understanding the risk factors associated with GC for identifying high‐risk groups that may require screening for prevention. Therefore, up‐to‐date statistics on GC occurrence and outcome are essential for the primary prevention of the disease. We conducted this review based on the current epidemiology knowledge of GC to provide an update perspective of GC in Asia‐Pacific region. Based on the findings of this study, incidence and mortality rate of GC in Asia‐Pacific region shows a great heterogeneity. Gastric carcinogenesis arises as a consequence of a complex interaction between host and environmental factors. In addition to screening and eradication of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection, it seems that the main cause of GC is an undesirable lifestyle in this region. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the lifestyle and the community awareness about GC risk factors and healthy lifestyle education.

AbstractThere is increasing understanding, globally, that climate change and increased pollution will have a profound and mostly harmful effect on human health. This review brings together international experts to describe both the direct (such as heat waves) and indirect (such as vector‐borne disease incidence) health impacts of climate change. These impacts vary depending on vulnerability (i.e., existing diseases) and the international, economic, political, and environmental context. This unique review also expands on these issues to address a third category of potential longer‐term impacts on global health: famine, population dislocation, and environmental justice and education. This scholarly resource explores these issues fully, linking them to global health in urban and rural settings in developed and developing countries. The review finishes with a practical discussion of action that health professionals around the world in our field can yet take.
Procedure‐specific morbidity of pancreatoduodenectomy: a systematic review of incidence and risk factors
Authors: Russell Thomas B , Aroori Somaiah 
Published: January 2022

AbstractBackgroundPancreatoduodenectomy (PD) remains the only curative‐intent treatment option for patients with cancer affecting the head of the pancreas. It is high‐risk and overall morbidity is around 40%. Due to the necessary resection and subsequent anastomoses required, multiple procedure‐specific complications are possible. An in‐depth understanding of the recent evidence on these will guide the consenting process and allow surgeons to evaluate their own performance.We aimed to consolidate the recent literature on preselected PD complications (postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF), bile leak (BL), gastrojejunal leak, postpancreatectomy haemorrhage (PPH), cholangitis, and chyle leak (CL)).MethodsA search of the PubMed database was carried out on 1st July 2021. Articles from July 2011 through to July 2021 were included.The initial search returned 297 results. After screening, 226 articles were excluded. The remaining 71 were assessed for eligibility and a further 34 were excluded. 37 were included in the final synthesis (two meta‐analyses and 35 single/multicentre studies).ResultsDue to recently updated diagnostic criteria, differing definitions among authors and subclinical cases, true incidence rates are difficult to appreciate. The following were obtained: POPF (excluding biochemical leak): 10.0–25.9%, BL: 3.0–7.9%, gastrojejunal anastomotic leak: 0.4–1.2%, PPH: 7.3–13.6%, cholangitis: 0.05–21.1% and CL: 2.6–19.0%. Numerous risk factors, both modifiable and non‐modifiable, were identified for each.ConclusionMost of the recent evidence on the studied complications comes from single institution studies of retrospective design. Robust case–control studies are required so predictive models can estimate the likelihood of specific complications in individual patients.
An analysis of the use of standard SIDS definitions in the English language literature over a three‐year period (2019–2021)
Authors: Tan Luzern , Byard Roger W. 
Published: January 2022

AbstractAimTo evaluate the use of the three standard definitions of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) in the contemporary literature.MethodsA search was undertaken of the US National Library of Medicine ‘PubMed’ database for all research articles listed under ‘sudden infant death syndrome’ or ‘SIDS’, from 2019 to 2021 accessible through the University of Adelaide library.Results564 papers had keywords ‘sudden infant death syndrome’ or ‘SIDS’. 300 papers were not included in the study as they were not written in English, SIDS was not the primary focus, publishing was in predatory journals, or they were Letters to the Editor, commentaries, technical reports, reviews or editorials. The remaining 264 papers consisted of 172 papers without a standard definition, including reports without definitions, with idiosyncratic or incorrectly quoted definitions or with incorrect referencing (65%), and 92 with one of the three standard definitions either quoted in full in the text or correctly referenced (35%).ConclusionNearly two‐thirds of peer‐reviewed publications on SIDS listed on PubMed over the past three years have not quoted or referenced accepted definitions. Interpreting research conclusions and monitoring trends in SIDS mortality will be extremely difficult if different population subgroups are being targeted by different research groups.

Published: January 2022

AbstractSeverely neurologically impaired patients often require the creation of a gastrostomy when they develop difficulty with oral intake followed by antireflux surgery. We use a traction technique for laparoscopic fundoplication without removing the gastrostomy in such cases. Right lateral traction of the round ligament of the liver and left lateral traction of the stomach body are performed using a needle device. The left liver lobe is elevated with a liver retractor inserted via the epigastrium. This traction technique allows a sufficient surgical field for manipulating forceps to be created in cases with a gastrostomy, enabling fundoplication to be performed safely without removing the gastrostomy.
