Power use, cooperative behavior and alliance performance: evidence from contract farming supply chains in China
Authors: Fu Shaoling , He Guangyao , Wang Qianwen , Huo Baofeng , Ding Yalan 
Published: December 2022

PurposeThis study aims to explore the relationship among five types of power (expert, referent, legitimate, reward and coercive power), two dimensions of cooperative behavior (specific investments and communication) and three types of alliance performance (alliance stability, income increase and cost decrease) in contract farming. By investigating the dyadic perspectives of companies and contract farmers, the authors examine how power use influences cooperative behavior, which further enhances alliance performance.Design/methodology/approachThe authors construct a theoretical model grounded on resource dependence theory (RDT). Data from 202 companies and 462 farmers in China are used to test the proposed hypotheses using structural equation modeling.FindingsThe authors' results show that the five types of power play different roles in cooperative behavior. On the one hand, farmers' expert, reward and coercive power enhance the company's specific investments; farmers' expert power enhances the company's communication but farmers' coercive power harms the company's communication. Also the company's specific investments enhance communication that is positively related to alliance ability, income increase and cost decrease. On the other hand, the company's expert, referent and legitimate power enhance farmers' communication, while the company's coercive power harms farmers' communication; the company's reward and coercive power enhance farmers' specific investments. Moreover, farmers' communication is positively related to alliance ability, income increase and cost decrease, but farmers' specific investments do not significantly influence such.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the literature on contract farming supply chain management by examining the relationships among power use, cooperative behavior and alliance performance from the dyadic perspective of companies and farmers. These findings have practical implications for agricultural companies and farmers promoting cooperative behavior and alliance performance through appropriate power use in contract farming supply chains.
Meaningful group culture: development of a multidimensional measure using multilevel assessment
Authors: Fatima Seerat , Hassan Muhammad Mubbashar 
Published: December 2022

PurposeThere is a growing array of literature that supports various implications of positive organizational psychology on workplace outcomes such as the positive work cultures. However, lack of appropriate measuring instruments is halting the progress in this field. Laid down in this article are the conceptual and empirical perspective regarding a positive group culture, i.e. meaningful group culture (MGC) and elaboration of what MGC is and how to measure it. For this study, the MGC is defined as a culture of humane orientation and explained through five dimensions: ideology infused, caring for employees, pro diversity, helping and employee-centric organization identification. The purpose of this paper is to address this issue.Design/methodology/approachTo further elucidate, development and validation of the MGC instrument was carried out in three phases. In the very first phase, content and face validity was assessed by experts. Following it, the second phase construct validity was undertaken through exploratory factor analysis of the results from the use of the instrument on a sample of 540 professionals. To end with, in the third phase, multilevel confirmatory analysis was conducted on an organizational sample of 397 individuals and 106 groups.FindingsThe results of the Multilevel Confirmatory Factor Analysis (MCFA) provided further evidence of confirmation that the extraction of five factors was appropriate, and reliability analysis showed the MGC to be both valid and reliable. Consequently, the applications of the tool to Human Resource Development (HRD) professionals are suggested.Research limitations/implicationsTo broaden the coverage and enhance generalizability, the study focused on multi-sector convenient based sample.Practical implicationsHRD professionals can use it as a diagnostic tool for deeper exploration into systematic and organizational issues. The use of it can provide a window for addressing the developmental needs within the organizations.Originality/valueThis study is possibly one of the first to develop a psychometrically valid scale to measure higher order measure of a work group culture through multilevel assessment of the model.
Psychological capital, moral courage and internal audit effectiveness (IAE): a complementary or substitution effect
Authors: Khelil Imen 
Published: December 2022

Purpose
This paper aims to examine the impact of two psychological drivers, namely, psychological capital (PsyCap) and moral courage on internal audit effectiveness (IAE) and whether there is a substitution effect or complementary role of these psychological factors on IAE in the Tunisian setting.

Design/methodology/approach
IAE is measured using managers’ perceptions of the internal audit function based on 157 responses received from managers, while the remaining variables (including PsyCap and moral courage) are based on 157 internal auditors’ responses.

Findings
Findings suggest that PsyCap has a positive and significant impact on IAE, while moral courage has an insignificant impact on the same variable. Accordingly, PsyCap and moral courage are not playing a complementary role in improving IAE, and PsyCap substitutes for moral courage in increasing IAE. A battery of checks using interaction terms between moral courage and PsyCap corroborate these findings.

Originality/value
To the best of the author’s knowledge, this study fills one of the major research gaps in the auditing literature by emphasizing the role played by PsyCap in improving IAE. The findings may have policy implications for top firm management, especially when recruiting internal auditors who should enjoy efficacy, hope, resilience and optimism to help the organization achieve its strategic objectives and increase its performance.
Progressive interstitial lung disease in hypomyopathic dermatomyositis in the COVID‐19 pandemic: A case report
Authors: Wang Shenqi , Lyu Yi , Xu Ling , Zhang Wenmei 
Published: December 2022

AbstractBackgroundClinically amyopathic dermatomyositis (CADM) is characterized by typical skin lesions with no (amyopathic) or subclinical (hypomyopathic) evidence of muscle involvement. Patients with CADM may also develop rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease (ILD), and have a poor prognosis. However, the diagnosis of rapidly progressive ILD faces a challenge during the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 pandemic. Severe acute respiratory syndrome and ground‐glass attenuation on a chest computed tomography scan are the presenting features in both conditions.Case presentationA 45‐year‐old woman with amyopathic dermatomyositis had acute onset of fever and dyspnea in February 2020. She had abnormal lung findings on CT scan. Polymerase chain reaction testing for SARS‐CoV‐2 was not available at that time. Chest CT revealed non‐specific manifestations that could be either the signs of ILD or SARS‐CoV‐2 infection. Antiviral therapy was initiated with oseltamivir. Three days later, she had erythema on face, palm, and back. The ratio of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) isoenzyme 3 to total LDH was elevated. The ratio of LDH isoenzyme 1 to total LDH was declined. Therefore, she was transferred to the rheumatology ward for further treatment. However, she died from respiratory failure 2 weeks later.ConclusionsWe speculate that the altered LDH isoenzyme pattern may be an early biomarker for co‐occurrence of CADM and ILD.
Musculoskeletal education in undergraduate medical curricula–A systematic review
Authors: Harkins Patricia , Burke Eoghan , Conway Richard 
Published: December 2022

AbstractRheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases encompass a vast spectrum of up to 200 conditions that are increasingly prevalent, with significant associated disability and socioeconomic burden. Their impact is pervasive, with musculoskeletal conditions being the second leading cause of years lived with disability worldwide, in addition to the 9th most common cause of disability‐adjusted life years. It is therefore imperative that all graduating medical physicians are competent in their management, and that the quality of undergraduate musculoskeletal education is commensurate with patient and societal needs. A systematic literature review was conducted between April 1, 2021 and June 1, 2021 assessing the quality of undergraduate musculoskeletal education in medical schools. Educational interventions in musculoskeletal medicine were also included. Quality assessment appraisal of the studies was done using a Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool. One thousand and thirty‐three titles were screened, and 44 studies were included in the final analysis. Our analysis of these studies showed that the quality of undergraduate musculoskeletal education, as determined by the cognitive mastery and clinical confidence of undergraduate medical students remains inadequate. Multiple educational interventions were assessed with mixed results. Despite the prevalence, and burden associated with rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases, the musculoskeletal education of undergraduate medical students remains inadequate. Urgent international collaboration is required to devise teaching strategies and curriculum initiatives that are globally and reproducibly applicable and effective. Further research into educational interventions and teaching strategies is also required.

AbstractPatients with systemic lupus erythemasus (SLE) have an increased risk of bacterial, viral, fungal or parasitic infections, especially if they are receiving immunosuppressive therapy. Leishmaniasis is a group of diseases caused by intracellular flagellate protozoan parasites belonging to the genus Leishmania. We present a 48‐year‐old female patient, diagnosed with SLE many years ago, who presented with high fever and pancytopenia. We thought that the patient's hematologic findings were related to SLE hematologic involvement. However, we investigated other possible causes when there was no response to drugs for the treatment of SLE. A second bone marrow biopsy showed Leishmania amastigotes and the patient was diagnosed with leishmaniasis. The patient was treated with liposomal amphotericin‐B (treatment completed at 40 days). She showed rapid clinical improvement and showed no signs of disease after 4 months.
Coexistence of 3q29 microdeletion syndrome and Takayasu arteritis: A case report
Authors: Coşkun Cansu , Kardaş Rıza Can , Küçük Hamit 
Published: December 2022

AbstractTakayasu arteritis (TAK) is a rare type of large and medial vessel systemic vasculitis. A variety of factors are thought to play a role in the occurrence and development of TAK such as human leukocyte antigen‐B52, autoimmunity, inflammation and environmental factors. 3q29 microdeletion syndrome is also a very rare inherited disease, which includes intellectual disability, growth retardation and neuropsychiatric disorders. Here, we present a case with concomitant TAK and 3q29 microdeletion syndrome. A 22‐year‐old woman presented to the emergency department with sudden bilateral vision loss and severe headache. During physical examination, the patient was noted to have a difference in blood pressure between extremities. Computed tomography angiography revealed vascular wall inflammation in the abdominal aorta. Based on clinical and radiographical findings, a diagnosis of TAK was made. Concurrently, the patient was found to have short stature and intellectual disability. A possible genetic etiology was sought out. Chromosome analysis showed a 1.5 Mb heterozygous deletion on chromosome 3 and a diagnosis of 3q29 microdeletion was made. Additional imaging also revealed a split cord in medulla spinalis along with hemivertebrae and fusion anomalies, neither of which were reported in TAK or 3q29 microdeletion cases in the literature.

Published: December 2022

AbstractAimWalking in the community allows participation in meaningful activities which positively influences self‐rated health and quality of life. Our objective was to identify factors associated with social participation and community ambulation in a representative sample of Canadian adults with osteoarthritis (OA).MethodsData were from >3800 participants in the Baseline Tracking Dataset of the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging with OA of the hip and/or knee. Outcomes included frequency of participation in 8 community‐based activities (past year, social participation), and frequency walking outside the home (past 7 days, community ambulation). Explanatory variables (15 for social participation, 11 for community ambulation) established in previous literature were evaluated. Variables significant in univariate binary logistic regression models were entered into multivariable models.ResultsFrequency of social participation was greater for females, and individuals with higher levels of education. Those who were younger, dissatisfied with life, and had difficulty walking 2–3 blocks were less likely to participate. Having fewer chronic conditions, being younger, being single/widowed and being interviewed in spring/summer were associated with more frequent ambulation. Lower self‐rated health, difficulty walking 2–3 blocks, pain and being female were associated with less frequent walking outside the home.ConclusionMany factors influence frequency of social participation and community ambulation. The ability to walk short distances is positively associated with both outcomes. This important factor can and should be addressed clinically to improve health and quality of life in people with OA.

AbstractAimTo evaluate the utility of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance sialography (MRS) for diagnosis of primary Sjögren syndrome (pSS) singly or integrated with 2016 American College of Rheumatology (ACR)/European League Against Rheumatic Diseases (EULAR) classification criteria.MethodsThe diagnostic efficiencies of MRI, MRS, and labial salivary gland biopsy (LSGB) were evaluated. The prediction model was established by multivariate analysis. Finally, performance of the ACR/EULAR criteria was evaluated after addition of MRI + MRS or replacement of original items by MRI + MRS.ResultsThe combined use of LSGB + MRI + MRS provided the greatest diagnostic value. MRI and MRS grade had positive correlations with disease duration and pathological grade of the labial gland (both P < 0.001). MRI and MRS grade had positive correlations with xerostomia severity and negative correlations with unstimulated salivary flow rate (both P < 0.001). The consistency of MRI grade and MRS grade in the diagnosis of parotid gland lesions was poor (κ = 0.253, P < 0.001). The diagnostic efficiency of our prediction model (AUC 0.906) was similar to that of criteria from the ACR/EULAR (AUC 0.930). Adding MRI + MRS to the ACR/EULAR criteria improved the sensitivity (92.3% vs 90.8%), whereas the specificity remained the same (88.9% vs 89.1%). Replacing LSGB by MRI + MRS in the ACR/EULAR criteria decreased both sensitivity and specificity (88.1% vs 90.8% and 86.4% vs 89.1%, respectively).ConclusionThe combined application of MRI and MRS has ideal clinical application value in the diagnosis of early‐stage pSS. Validity of the ACR/EULAR criteria remains high after incorporation of MRI + MRS.

Published: December 2022

AbstractObjectivesTo describe venous sinus thrombosis involved in immunoglobulin A (IgA) vasculitis and identify the clinical features and imaging findings of this rare disease.MethodsWe describe a case with venous sinus thrombosis related to IgA vasculitis, and a systematic review of previously reported cases in the literature.ResultsA 10‐year‐old boy presented with recurrent petechiae of the lower extremities with abdominal pain, and was diagnosed as having IgA vasculitis. He had a sudden headache during the treatment of steroids, and venous sinus thrombosis was diagnosed according to magnetic resonance imaging. Venous sinus thrombosis is a rare complication of IgA vasculitis. Based on the systematic review, most of these reported cases who developed venous sinus thrombosis had multi‐system involvement, which included skin, joints, gastrointestinal tract or kidneys. Sudden headache was the most common symptom of central venous sinus thrombosis. Some cases may also manifest as seizures and blindness. The sagittal sinus was the most common site of thrombosis. Magnetic resonance image, magnetic resonance venography, or computed tomography angiography were helpful for early diagnosis of this disease. Combination therapy of steroids and anticoagulation medication was effective in rapidly reliving clinical symptoms.ConclusionsSudden headache in patients with IgA vasculitis requires vigilance for the possibility of central venous sinus thrombosis. Anti‐inflammatories combined with anticoagulant therapy were needed for these patients.

AbstractAimsTo compare (a) the change in radiological bony morphology between participants with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) syndrome who underwent arthroscopic hip surgery compared to physiotherapist‐led non‐surgical care and (b) the change in radiological bony morphology between participants with FAI syndrome who underwent arthroscopic hip surgery involving cam resection or acetabular rim trimming or combined cam resection and acetabular rim trimming.MethodsMaximum alpha angle measurements on magnetic resonance imaging and Hip2Norm standardized hip measurements on radiographs were recorded at baseline and at 12 months postoperatively. One‐way analysis of covariance and independent T tests were conducted between participants who underwent arthroscopic hip surgery and physiotherapist‐led non‐surgical care. Independent T tests and analysis of variance were conducted between participants who underwent the 3 different arthroscopic hip procedures.ResultsArthroscopic hip surgery resulted in significant improvements to mean alpha angle measurements (decreased from 70.8° to 62.1°) (P value < .001, 95% CI −11.776, −4.772), lateral center edge angle (LCEA) (P value = .030, 95% CI −3.403, −0.180) and extrusion index (P value = 0.002, 95% CI 0.882, 3.968) compared to physiotherapist‐led management. Mean maximum 1‐year postoperative alpha angle was 59.0° (P value = .003, 95% CI 4.845, 18.768) for participants who underwent isolated cam resection. Measurements comparing the 3 different arthroscopic hip procedures only differed in total femoral head coverage (F[2,37] = 3.470, P = .042).ConclusionArthroscopic hip surgery resulted in statistically significant improvements to LCEA, extrusion index and alpha angle as compared to physiotherapist‐led management. Measured outcomes between participants who underwent cam resection and/or acetabular rim trimming only differed in total femoral head coverage.

AbstractCogan's syndrome (CS) is a rare inflammatory disease characterized by interstitial keratitis or uveitis, vestibular impairment, and progressive hearing loss, commonly bilateral. Although glucocorticoids are fundamental treatment options, in most cases, hearing loss gradually worsens. Herein we report 2 pediatric cases of CS who were treated with corticosteroids and methotrexate. One patient had a cochlear implant, and the hearing of the other patient improved with treatment. Also, a systematic literature review was conducted for articles including pediatric CS patients. In the literature, 34 articles describing 44 pediatric patients with CS were identified. Sudden hearing loss (95.3%) and ocular symptoms (92.5%) were the most common manifestations in these patients. Also, aortic involvement was present in 19.5% of patients in the literature. Otorhinolaryngologists, ophthalmologists, and pediatricians should collaborate to diagnose and manage CS to prevent progressive hearing loss and eye involvement.

AbstractAimTo elucidate the clinical features, long‐term survival, and prognostic factors for mortality among patients with microscopic polyangiitis (MPA), including those with anti‐neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody‐positive interstitial lung disease (ILD) (ANCA‐ILD), which could be a subset of its variant phenotype.MethodsWe retrospectively included 76 consecutive patients between 2006 and 2014, diagnosed with MPA according to the European Medicines Agency algorithm using the Chapel Hill Consensus Conference definitions or ANCA‐ILD. ILD was classified as usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) or nonspecific interstitial pneumonia pattern using chest computed tomography.ResultsThe mean (standard deviation) age of the patients (female, 68%) was 69 (12) years. The median (interquartile range) follow‐up period was 68 (33‐95) months. Comorbid ILD and glomerulonephritis were observed in 44 (58%) (68% UIP) and 54 (71%) patients, respectively. Comorbid ILD was associated with low survival (P = .0563). There were 17 (39%) and 5 (16%) deaths in the ILD and non‐ILD groups, respectively (P = .0404). In the ILD group, 6 and 5 of the deaths were attributed to infection and ILD progression, respectively. In the non‐ILD group, 1 and 2 patients expired from subsequently developed ILD and aspiration pneumonia, respectively. Age ≥ 70 years (hazard ratio = 2.78; 95% confidential interval 1.15‐6.70) and UIP (3.95; 1.60‐9.77) were independent risk factors for mortality.ConclusionAge ≥ 70 years and ILD with a UIP pattern were associated with high mortality, owing to susceptibility to infection and ILD progression. A more effective and less toxic treatment is required for progressive ILD.
