Professional Coaching and Surgeon Well-being
Authors: Dyrbye Liselotte N. , Gill Priscilla R. , Satele Daniel V. , West Colin P. 
Published: August 2022

Objective:
To determine if individualized professional coaching reduces burnout, improves quality of life, and increases resilience among surgeons.

Background:
Burnout is common among surgeons and associated with suboptimal patient care and personal consequences.

Methods:
A randomized controlled trial of 80 surgeons evaluating the impact of 6 monthly professional coaching sessions on burnout (Maslach Burnout Inventory), quality of life (single-item linear analog scale), and resilience (Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale) immediately postintervention and 6 months later. Participants randomized to the control group subsequently received 6 professional coaching sessions during months 6 to 12 (delayed intervention).

Results:
At the conclusion of professional coaching in the immediate intervention group, the rate of overall burnout decreased by 2.5% in the intervention arm compared with an increase of 2.5% in the control arm [delta: −5.0%, 95% confidence interval (CI): −8.6%, −1.4%; P=0.007]. Resilience scores improved by 1.9 points in the intervention arm compared with a decrease of 0.2 points in the control arm (delta: 2.2 points; 95% CI: 0.07, 4.30; P=0.04). Six months after completion of the coaching period, burnout had returned to near baseline levels while resilience continued to improve among the immediate intervention group. The delayed intervention group experienced improvements in burnout during their coaching experience relative to the immediate intervention group during their postintervention period (18.2% decrease vs 2.9% increase, delta: −21.1%, 95% CI: −24.9%, −17.3%; P<0.001).

Conclusions:
Professional coaching over 6 months improved burnout and resilience among surgeons, with reductions in improvement over the ensuing 6 months.

Background.
The International Liver Transplantation Society (ILTS) has placed a strong focus on achieving gender equality and equity in liver transplant (LT). We aimed to understand gender distribution in leadership positions among LT physicians around the world and within ILTS.

Methods.
In 2019, the ILTS Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion Committee distributed a survey to obtain granular data on gender and characteristics of transplant physicians as well as those in leadership positions in each center. Additionally, data were collected on the gender composition of the ILTS membership, council, chairpersons, and committees and from the United Network for Organ Sharing.

Results.
Data were collected from 243 transplant centers. Thirty-two (13.2%) had at least 1 woman as the director of LT, chief of transplant surgery, or chief of transplant hepatology. Of the 243 centers, 133 reported the age and gender of the leadership personnel. Women physicians comprised 152 of the 833 transplant surgeons (18.2%) and 298 of the 935 hepatologists (31.9%). Among the 1331 ILTS physician members, 588 (44.2%) provided gender information in their member profiles, and 155 (26.3%) identified themselves as women. Of the 26 ILTS leadership positions, 7 (26.9%) were held by women.

Conclusions.
This analysis of worldwide gender distribution in the LT physician workforce showed notable gender disparity in LT leadership around the globe and within the ILTS. These data provide a launching point for promoting and achieving gender equality and equity in LT.
Pathogen Clearance-based Correlates of Immunoprotection Reveal Insightful Features of Vaccine Immunity
Authors: Tian Xianbin , Wang Juanjuan , Chen Haoze , Ding Ming , Jin Qian , Zhang Jing-Ren 
Published: August 2022

ABSTRACTVaccination has significantly reduced the incidence of invasive infections caused by several bacterial pathogens, includingStreptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzaeandNeisseria meningitidis. However, no vaccines are available for many other invasive pathogens. A major hurdle in vaccine development is the lack of functional markers to quantify vaccine immunity in eliminating pathogens in the process of infection. Based on our recent discovery of the liver as the major organ of vaccine-induced clearance of blood-borne virulent bacteria, we here describe a new vaccine evaluation system that quantitatively characterize important properties of effective vaccines in shuffling virulent bacteria from the blood circulation to the liver resident macrophage Kupffer cells (KCs) and sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) in animal models. This system consists of three related correlates or assays: pathogen clearance from the bloodstream, pathogen trapping in the liver, and pathogen capture by KCs/LSECs. The readouts of these correlates were consistently associated with the serotype-specific immunoprotection levels of the 13-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide conjugate vaccine (PCV13) against lethal infections ofS. pneumoniae,a major invasive pathogen of community-acquired infections in humans. Furthermore, the reliability and sensitivity of these correlates in reflecting vaccine efficacy were verified with whole cell vaccines ofKlebsiella pneumoniaeandEscherichia coli, two major pathogens in hospital-acquired invasive infections. This system may be used as cost effective readouts to evaluate the immunoprotective potential of vaccine candidates in the preclinical phase by filling the current technical gap in vaccine evaluation between the conventionalin vitroapproaches (e.g., antibody production and pathogen neutralization/opsonophagocytosis) and survival of immunized animals.

Published: August 2022

AbstractMaintaining a healthy protein folding environment is essential for cellular function. Recently, we found that nucleic acids, and G-quadruplexes in particular, are potent chaperones for preventing protein aggregation. With the aid of structure-function and NMR analyses of two G-quadruplex forming sequences, PARP-I and LTR-III, we uncovered several contributing factors that affect G-quadruplexes in preventing protein aggregation. Notably, three factors emerged as vital in determining holdase activity of G-quadruplexes: their structural topology, structural dynamics, and oligomerization state. These factors together appear to largely dictate whether a G-quadruplex is able to prevent partially misfolded proteins from aggregating. Understanding the genesis of G-quadruplexes’ power as chaperones is an important facet to elucidating various protein aggregation diseases.Key Points-How nucleic acids act as protein chaperones is currently unknown.-G-quadruplexes are excellent at preventing protein aggregation, and here we describe basic tenets of this activity.-This activity could help design treatments for multiple neurodegenerative diseases.
Severity analysis and risk profiling of port logistics barriers in the Industry 4.0 era
Authors: Sarkar Bishal Dey , Shankar Ravi , Kar Arpan Kumar 
Published: August 2022

PurposeGlobal trade depends on more complex, prolonged and larger port systems, where port logistics is a backbone for such operations. Ports are responsible for transferring more than 80 percent of the global trade. Port logistics are prone to being risk-oriented. The study proposes a model to study various port logistics barriers and their associated risks for emerging economies in the Industry 4.0 era.Design/methodology/approachThe study develops a framework by integrating the fuzzy set theory, the evidential reasoning approach and the expected utility theorem for identifying the severity value of port logistics barriers under the Industry 4.0 era for emerging economies and prioritize them based on various perspectives. The study identifies multiple risks associated with the barriers, and intensity-based categorization of the risks is performed for risk profiling.FindingsThe study reveals that poor infrastructure, nonsupportive policy ecosystem, and lack of research and development are the top barriers that need immediate attention. A new approach has been proposed that changes the importance of perspectives, and 192 analytical experiments were done to study the changing behavior of barriers. The study also presents various types of risks associated with the selected barriers.Research limitations/implicationsIn future studies, other barriers can be discovered and studied to develop such models. To cover the entire spectrum of possibilities, belief degrees of the barriers could be used to study the barriers instead of changing the weights.Practical implicationsThis study presents a quantification model to prioritize the barriers based on environmental, economic and operational perspectives. Further, the model helps create scenarios for decision-makers to improve port logistics performance and achieve sustainability. The study identifies various risks associated with port logistics barriers and allows decision-makers to take proactive actions.Originality/valueThis study contributes significantly to the literature on port logistics by developing a framework for determining the severity of the barriers in the Industry 4.0 era for emerging economies. Further, the study pinpoints various risks associated with port logistics, and risk profiling is carried out.
To green or not to green? How CSR mechanisms at the governance level affect the likelihood of banks pursuing green product strategies
Authors: Birindelli Giuliana , Palea Vera 
Published: August 2022

Purpose
This study aims to investigate the relationship between banks’ corporate social responsibility (CSR) mechanisms at the governance level and their likelihood of pursuing green product strategies. It also examines how CSR characteristics and green product strategies have evolved across regions and time.

Design/methodology/approach
Using a sample of listed banks from different economic areas over the period 2010–2019, the authors examine how CSR mechanisms at the governance level and green product strategies, which they categorize through principal component analysis, have changed over time and across regions. The authors then conducted panel regression to identify which CSR characteristics affect the likelihood that banks implement green product strategies.

Findings
Results show that CSR mechanisms related to bank transparency and commitment to the community, such as sustainability reporting and United Nations Global Compact adherence, are substantive in affecting the likelihood of banks pursuing green product strategies. In contrast, mechanisms related to internal organization, such as the presence of a CSR Committee and an environmental management team, tend to play more a symbolic role. Findings also support a reconsideration of environmental, social and governance-related compensation schemes, which appear to decrease the likelihood that banks engage in some forms of green financing. The likelihood of banks pursuing green product strategies varies across regions and has increased after the Paris Agreement.

Research limitations/implications
The findings are useful in guiding regulators, supervisory authorities and policymakers in defining policies that can create conditions for banks to develop green products and, hence, encourage the sustainability behaviors of their clients. Empirical evidence reveals that some corporate governance mechanisms and green product strategies correlate positively, institutional factors matter and public policies can play a role in strengthening such a correlation. However, results are limited to specific geographical areas and listed banks.

Originality/value
This study contributes to the institutional literature by showing that some corporate governance mechanisms are substantive in increasing the likelihood of banks pursuing green product strategies, while others are more symbolic. It also extends the literature by analyzing how banks belonging to different geographical areas have responded, over time, to sustainability objectives.
Identifying the barriers to housing finance in Ethiopia
Authors: Asnakew Masresha Belete , Amogne Minale Kassahun 
Published: August 2022

Purpose
The accessibility of housing for many purposes is more influenced by the functioning of housing market. As access to housing is an expensive and long-term exertion of household, looking for appropriate housing fund is necessary whether the source of fund is private saving or mortgage. However, insufficient finance in Ethiopia is a reason for inaccessible of land and housing by the low- and middle-income people. This study aims to identify the barriers to access finance in the study area.

Design/methodology/approach
This study adopted a qualitative and quantitative research approach to investigate the barriers of housing finance. To undertake and increase the relevance of this study, primary and secondary, qualitative and quantitative data were used. Primary data were collected from respondents; focal person’s and key informants. Both descriptive statistical analysis and relative importance index analysis was deployed for this study. In addition, the quantitative data were analyzed using logistic regresion model.

Findings
The result of this study found that in Ethiopia at all, there is no enough mortgage and long-term lending banks. The result of this study inspects some variables significantly affect the access to finance. The result of this study will help the government in buildup of financial institutions in many perspectives. Financial institutions and clients may also be beneficiary through stiffen housing finance system.

Originality/value
The barriers of access to finance were not sufficiently studied in Ethiopia. Therefore, this study may be a pioneer for the researchers, as it did not cover the whole area of the country to study and also appoint the government to reform the financial sector based on the findings of the researches.

Authors: Wang Jinfeng , Zhang Luyao , Lin Kuo-Yi , Feng Lijie 
Published: August 2022

PurposeThe desired outcome in the new product development (NPD) effort is the timely commercialization of a profitable product. Whether marketing can benefit from the NPD case study is a critical but underresearched issue. The purpose of this study is to investigate the usage and quality of NPD case studies in business and industrial marketing.Design/methodology/approachTo investigate the prevalence and research quality of case studies on NPD in business and industrial marketing, 317 case studies published in mainstream journals over the past decade (2010–2020) are reviewed.FindingsThis study finds that the distribution of quantity and quality of case studies fluctuates across journals. The scores on the evaluation template for the different case study stages vary widely across journals. This indicates that different journals have different criteria and priorities for NPD case studies. By focusing on different issues, enterprises can quickly find appropriate journals and case results according to their own needs.Originality/valueThis paper can help spark a debate about the implementation and quality of NPD case studies, including future studies and practical applications. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, no similar study has been found in existing studies.
Does Tawarruq still remain the top option for Islamic home financing (IHF) products in Malaysia?
Authors: Ibrahim Norhazlina , Mohd Sapian Safeza 
Published: August 2022

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether Tawarruq Islamic home financing (IHF) products remain untouched and maintain their position as the top IHF product in Malaysia.

Design/methodology/approach
The study adopted a qualitative research methodology that included both literature review and content analysis. Firstly, the existing studies and literature were reviewed to compare different types of IHF. The composition of IHF products offered by these Islamic banks was then investigated further to analyse each bank’s progress in IHF from 2015 to 2019. The data were gathered from bank websites, brochures, product disclosure sheets and annual reports.

Findings
The findings reveal that around 62.5% of Islamic banks offered Tawarruq for IHF in the year 2020. For the banks that offered Tawarruq, the amount of the financing continued to grow each year. The plausible reason for the preference for Tawarruq was its less risky nature, despite facing numerous operating, legal and Shariah issues.

Research limitations/implications
This study has several limitations, including the fact that it was limited to home financing products only, the methodology used and the research period.

Practical implications
This study aimed to provide beneficial insights into the use of Tawarruq, which has been a source of concern for regulators as well as steps made to reduce its usage in the industry. Islamic banks should be more proactive in developing non-Tawarruq products to enhance product innovation in the market and minimise the heavy reliance on debt-based products.

Originality/value
This study provides useful insights by analysing IHF in depth for each Islamic bank and making recommendations for future research. Specifically, the method facilitated critical discussions and comparisons to previous research findings as to why Tawarruq has remained popular.

Exploring the role of systemic immune‐inflammation index and neutrophil‐lymphocyte ratio in cardiovascular risk stratification for patients with hidradenitis suppurativa: A cross‐sectional study
Authors: Sánchez‐Díaz Manuel , Salvador‐Rodríguez Luis , Cuenca‐Barrales Carlos , Arias‐Santiago Salvador , Molina‐Leyva Alejandro 
Published: August 2022

AbstractHidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the hair follicle that has previously been associated with a higher cardiovascular risk (CVR). Although different methods have been described for CVR stratification in HS, there is little evidence about the role of hemogram indexes in CVR in HS. Given its potential convenience, the aim of this study was to assess the role of the hemogram indexes systemic immune‐inflammation index (SII) and neutrophil‐lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in CVR stratification for patients with HS. A cross‐sectional study was performed to assess the role of SII and NLR in CVR stratification in patients with moderate to severe HS who were candidates for biologic therapy. SII, NLR, carotid intima‐media thickness, and other clinical and biochemical CVR factors were assessed before the start of the treatment. Fifty patients were included. The male:female ratio was 3:2, and the mean International Hidradenitis Suppurativa Severity Score System score was 21.6. After multivariate analysis, SII correlated with higher values of systolic blood pressure, metabolic syndrome, and higher risk of insulin resistance (p < 0.05). NLR was associated with insulin resistance (p < 0.05). These associations were independent of age, sex, body mass index, severity of the disease, and tobacco consumption. The implementation of SII and NLR in daily practice may be of benefit for identifying patients with HS at higher risk of high blood pressure, insulin resistance, or metabolic syndrome. Since these indexes are simple to calculate, they could be used as a screening tool in HS‐specific units.

Published: August 2022

AbstractMental health service users in the UK have become increasingly involved in research over the last 2 decades partly as a consequence of research governance. Ethnic minority service users, however, point to power imbalances stemming from marginalisation and discrimination creating barriers to knowledge co‐production (Kalathil, J. (2013). Hard to reach? Racialised groups and mental health service user involvement.). Heavily influenced by Freire’s liberatory education, participatory action research (PAR) repoliticises participation where those most affected by injustice are central in both producing knowledge about injustice and implementing solutions. Ethnic minority people with lived experience of ‘severe mental illness’ (‘the racialised mad’) were appointed as coresearchers to work with academic researchers on a qualitative study exploring ethnic inequalities in ‘severe mental illness’. Drawing on Foucault’s notion of power as relational, we focus on three key aspects of productive power: (1) relational engagement and reciprocity, (2) positioning coresearchers as authentic researchers and (3) adopting an ethic of care, to explore complicity and resistance in reproducing hierarchies of knowledge and power when attempting to create and sustain a PAR process for collective analysis, action and solidarity. We utilise retrospective and recorded reflections over the course of the project. Finally, we discuss the ethical and methodological implications for contemporary sociological research into health and illness.
RESTORING A RIVER, RE‐STORYING HISTORY
Authors: Wiggin Bethany 
Published: August 2022

AbstractThis essay zooms in on an unloved stretch of Philadelphia's tidal Schuylkill River, long home to the largest petroleum refinery on the United States’ East Coast, the cradle of petromodernity. In the aftermath of the refinery's spectacular explosion in 2019, city officials were confronted by the data poverty in this sacrifice zone where many residents live in analog poverty. The essay contributes to our understanding of urban waters in two ways. First, it uncovers the shape and texture of the sacrifices made to dry out and urbanize wetlands, exploring how and by whom this former marshland has been made into what Ruth Wilson Gilmore calls a ‘forgotten place’. Second, it presents a set of interrelated community‐based participatory research projects designed to document the inhabitants’ lived experiences—glaringly absent from existing environmental data collected across different levels of governance and largely missing from the historical record. The essay explores embodied research methods and storytelling as tools to build and sustain academic–community alliances.
