Background
An infectious syphilis outbreak in Alberta has resulted in increased congenital syphilis (CS) cases. To shed light on potential risk factors, we used administrative data sets to examine care milestones for the prevention of CS among pregnant women diagnosed with syphilis, as well as correlates of women giving birth to infants with CS.

Methods
Provincial administrative databases were used to identify and describe pregnant women diagnosed with any stage of infectious or noninfectious syphilis who gave birth in Alberta between January 1, 2017, and December 31, 2019. Data on prenatal care, syphilis screening, and syphilis medication dispensation were used to evaluate the care milestones. Clinical care and maternal demographics were assessed using logistic and linear regression analyses to determine correlates for missed care milestones or a newborn outcome of CS.

Results
Of 182 syphilis-infected pregnant women, 63 (34.6%) delivered a newborn with CS. Overall, in the first trimester, 136 (75.1%) women had a health care visit, 72 (39.6%) had a prenatal care visit, 71 (39.0%) were screened for syphilis, and 44 (24.2%) were treated. Gestational time to treatment initiation (adjusted odds ratio, 1.04; 95% confidence interval, 1.02–1.06) and older maternal age at diagnosis (adjusted odds ratio: 1.28, 95% confidence interval, 1.08–1.50) were independently associated with CS outcomes. No variables were found to be independently associated with a health care visit, prenatal screening, or initiation of treatment.

Conclusions
Although nearly two-thirds of CS cases were prevented, there remained missed opportunities in the prevention of CS. Early treatment, which relies on timely access to prenatal care and screening, was the most important for the prevention of CS.

Authors: Zhou Ting , Tang Yongguo , Zhu Hui 
Published: April 2022

Objective
The effectiveness and safety of memantine for headache are elusive, and this meta-analysis aimed to explore the influence of memantine versus placebo for headache.

Methods
We have searched PubMed, Embase, Web of science, EBSCO, and Cochrane library databases through May 2021 and included randomized controlled trials reporting memantine versus placebo for headache patients. This meta-analysis is performed using the random-effects model.

Results
Our meta-analysis included 4 randomized controlled trials and 229 patients. Compared with control group for headache, memantine treatment could substantially reduce headache days (mean difference [MD] = −3.10; 95% confidence interval [CI] = −5.46 to −0.75; P = 0.01), pain intensity (MD, −0.43; 95% CI, −0.85 to −0.01; P = 0.04), monthly attack frequency (MD, −2.14; 95% CI, −2.83 to −1.46; P < 0.00001), and Migraine Disability Assessment Test (MD, −5.63; 95% CI, −6.46 to −4.79; P < 0.00001) but revealed no significant influence on days for acute pain medications, adverse events, or nausea/vomiting.

Conclusions
Memantine treatment is effective and safe to treat headache.
Traceability for sustainability: seeking legitimacy in the coffee supply chain
Authors: León-Bravo Verónica , Ciccullo Federica , Caniato Federico 
Published: April 2022

PurposeThe adoption of traceability systems (TS) and sustainability programs responds to different objectives among which the companies need to be considered legitimate; hence, this study aims, first, to identify what is the relationship between traceability and sustainability in the food supply chain (SC) and, second, to characterize the legitimacy-seeking purposes, i.e. moral, cogniti60ve or pragmatic-driving companies to implement TS along with sustainability initiatives.Design/methodology/approachThis study analyses the coffee SC, a globally dispersed commodity chain, where traceability initiatives usually respond to mandatory and voluntary quality standards and certifications of origin. The study involves nine cases at different stages of the coffee SC.FindingsThis study provides a taxonomy of the TS applied in the coffee SC. In addition, three main approaches to traceability for sustainability are found in the coffee SC: synergistic, complementary or disconnected. Findings also reveal how traceability responds to different legitimacy-seeking objectives while triggering or complementing sustainability practices. Five research propositions and related directions for further investigations are elaborated from the results of our study.Originality/valueThis study explores a rather limited studied area, investigating how companies in a food commodity chain address traceability and sustainability together while seeking legitimacy in the market. Moreover, the study is grounded on legitimacy theory, thus adding robustness to the analysis.
Work–family decisions: exploring the role of racial variation
Authors: Guo Xuguang , Wadhwa Preeti 
Published: April 2022

Purpose
Drawing on gender role ideology and structuralism perspectives, this study examines the impact of racial variation on the relationship between family characteristics and work–family decisions.

Design/methodology/approach
The study sample was drawn from the data collected by the U.S. Current Population Survey. This study used robust regression analysis to test their specific hypotheses that explore the role of racial variations on work–family decisions (measured in terms of weekly work hours).

Findings
The findings indicate that while overall men work longer hours when raising young children, both African American and Hispanic men tend to cut down on their work hours. Additionally, while marital status is associated with decreased work hours for White women, the reduction is smaller for Hispanic women. African American women actually end up increasing their work hours post marriage. Finally, while motherhood is associated with reduced work hours across racial groups, the decrease is more drastic for White women compared to their minority counterparts.

Research limitations/implications
This study provides empirical evidence that work–family decision in the US African American and Hispanic households are not as strongly guided by the traditional gender role stereotypes, as is the case with White households. It also has important implications for the US employers who strive to leverage diversity and create inclusive organizations.

Originality/value
Given the increased population diversity in the USA, this study highlights the need to better understand the role of racial variations on the work–family decisions.
“The problem hasn't changed, but you're no longer left to deal with it on your own” – the role of informal peer support in helping firefighters cope with critical incidents
Authors: Dangermond Karin , Weewer Ricardo , Duyndam Joachim , Machielse Anja 
Published: April 2022

PurposeHow firefighters cope with critical incidents is partly influenced by the culture of the fire brigade. The purpose of this study is to better understand how informal peer support helps firefighters cope with critical incidents.Design/methodology/approachAn ethnographic field study of explorative nature was conducted. Data were collected by means of 20 participating observations and 72 interviews with Dutch firefighters from 37 different fire brigades. The analysis was an iterative process alternating data collection, analysis and theory formation processes.FindingsFirefighters will turn to informal peer support to cope with critical incidents provided that facilitating circumstances are present and there is adherence to certain implicit rules. The collective sharing of memories, whether immediately post-incident or after the passage of time, helps firefighters process critical incidents and serves to promote unit cohesion. Most firefighters reported these informal debriefings to be preferable to the formal sessions. By comparison, a minority of firefighters reported that they did not benefit at all from the informal interactions.Research limitations/implicationsThis study only focused on the informal peer support given by colleagues. Future research should focus on: (1) The possible differences between men and women as to what extent informal peer support is experienced after critical incidents, (2) Commanding officers: how do they, given their hierarchical position, experience coming to terms with critical incidents, (3) Premeditated critical incidents and the role of informal peer support, (4) Similarities and differences between career and non-career firefighters in experiencing and coping critical incidents.Practical implicationsFirefighters are an under-researched group in academic literature, that would benefit from mental health counsellors having a better understanding of their unique work culture and the complexity of the firefighting profession. More knowledge about the role of informal peer support is necessary to tailor help and aftercare more effectively to their needs.Originality/valueMost studies confirm the importance of informal peer support when coping with critical incidents. This study provides initial, in-depth evidence of the role of informal peer support in helping firefighters cope with critical incidents.

Authors: Karuppiah Koppiahraj , Sankaranarayanan Bathrinath , D’Adamo Idiano , Ali Syed Mithun 
Published: April 2022

Purpose
Industry 4.0 (I4.0) not only turns traditional industrial activities upside down but also demonstrates its potential to enhance industrial competitiveness and productivity. In this context, technological advancement and I4.0 is a strategy to be pursued. This study aims to consider different I4.0 technologies by analysing Indian small and medium enterprises (SMEs).

Design/methodology/approach
Key factors and promising I4.0 technologies were selected using literature analysis and experts’ panel. The appropriate I4.0 technology for Indian SMEs is recommended using the fuzzy complex proportional assessment (COPRAS) method.

Findings
Results reveal that ability to expand IT infrastructure, change in the organization’s structure and the capacity to analyse key performance indicators as three crucial key factors in I4.0 implementation. In particular, the smart factory is identified as a better I4.0 for Indian SMEs.

Originality/value
This work has analysed Indian SMEs, but it is appropriate for other developing economies with limited technical resources, financial resources and inadequate skill sets. This work identifies a gap in the current literature, and the findings proposed by this work are oriented to assist decision makers, industrial managers and practitioners in selecting I4.0 technology and enhancing the industrial infrastructure. At the same time, cooperation between the government and industrial community is required to develop programmes for imparting the knowledge of I4.0 among SMEs. The framework used in this study will arm the industrial management in adopting I4.0.
Using graph database platforms to fight money laundering: advocating large scale adoption
Authors: Tiwari Milind , Ferrill Jamie , Mehrotra Vishal 
Published: April 2022

Purpose
This paper advocates the use of graph database platforms to investigate networks of illicit companies identified in money laundering schemes. It explains the setup of the data structure to investigate a network of illicit companies identified in cases of money laundering schemes and presents its key application in practice. Grounded in the technology acceptance model (TAM), this paper aims to present key operationalisations and theoretical considerations for effectively driving and facilitating its wider adoption among a range of stakeholders focused on anti-money laundering solutions.

Design/methodology/approach
This paper explores the benefits of adopting graph databases and critiques their limitations by drawing on primary data collection processes that have been undertaken to derive a network topology. Such representation on a graph database platform provides the opportunity to uncover hidden relationships critical for combatting illicit activities such as money laundering.

Findings
The move to adopt a graph database for storing information related to corporate entities will aid investigators, journalists and other stakeholders in the identification of hidden links among entities to deter activities of corruption and money laundering.

Research limitations/implications
This paper does not display the nodal data as it is framed as a background to how graph databases can be used in practice.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, no studies in the past have considered companies from multiple cases in the same graph network and attempted to investigate the links between them. The advocation for such an approach has significant implications for future studies.
Employees' perception of corporate social responsibility and performance: the mediating roles of job satisfaction, organizational commitment and organizational trust
Authors: Silva Pedro , Moreira Antonio Carrizo , Mota Jorge 
Published: April 2022

PurposeCorporate social responsibility (CSR) is an evolving concept which is increasingly being adopted by companies with the purpose of creating sustained organizational growth. However, while the impact of CSR practices on employees' behaviors and attitudes has been recognized over the years, the relationship between CSR practices and employee performance remains underexplored.Design/methodology/approachDrawing on social identity theory and using the partial least squares structural equation method, this research examines the impact of CSR practices on employees' performance in a sample of 171 employees belonging to the construction industry.FindingsThe findings do not support the existence of a direct relationship between employees' perception of CSR and their performance; instead, they indicate that this relationship is mediated by job satisfaction and organizational trust.Research limitations/implicationsThe data concerns employees' self-reported measures on their perceived CSR and the study was conducted in a single industry.Practical implicationsAdopting CSR initiatives in company strategies is worthy as the perceptions of employees and their performance is positively influenced by their organization's CSR activities. Managers should properly communicate and involve internal stakeholders in socially responsible practices to increase their awareness.Originality/valueThis article analyzes the impact of employees' perception of CSR on employees' performance through the roles of employee organizational trust and job satisfaction as mediating variables in a highly socially pressured industry such as construction.

Published: April 2022

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to elaborate on the impact of digital literacy with its dynamic and evolutionary nature on the daily lives of individuals. This paper discusses about the digital literacy frameworks, digital literacy education, its relation to critical thinking and, ultimately, prospective issues in digital literacy.

Design/methodology/approach
To serve this purpose, the authors applied the qualitative literature review technique and reflected their opinions on the recent literature findings.

Findings
The preliminary findings demonstrated that there is a growing tendency on digital literacy over the years. Different organizations and cases have developed their own frameworks to describe and implement digital literacy endeavors in their bodies. Additionally, it was seen that digital literacy acquisition process have started with family in early ages and extended to lifelong learning approach. While learners use the internet sources (especially social media), they also develop their digital literacy skills and abilities that also need critical thinking for filtering what is essential. Considering “information suppression” as a case, we learn that digital literacy will be much more serious for the future generations. Lastly, digital literacy will expand its scope in the future in parallel to recent advancements, such as artificial intelligence skills.

Originality/value
This paper provides an insight into digital literacy from the points of view of global citizenship, critical thinking and rapidly advancing technologies. This unique combination makes this paper valuable for the readers from any field of study.
Corporate social responsibility and financial performance – the role of corporate reputation, advertising and competition
Authors: Bashir Makhmoor 
Published: April 2022

PurposeThe research on corporate social responsibility (CSR) and firm performance (FP) has seen a surge over the years. However, the role of corporate reputation (CR), advertising strategy and market competition is still unclear. The purpose of this study is to consider this gap and test an integrative model of CSR-FP, in the context of India.Design/methodology/approachThe data for CSR expenditure were collected from the annual reports of the selected companies. CR was captured using the ranks of Fortune India 500, Business Standard 1,000 and Economic Times 500. The financial data were collected from CMIE (Prowess) database.FindingsResults of structural equation modeling (SEM) revealed a significant relationship between CSR expenditure of the firm and its reputation; but no relationship between CR and performance. When CR increases, the performance of a firm may not improve. Competitive intensity (CI) had no statistically significant role in the CR-FP relationship for performance. Results suggest that reputed firms perform well despite high competition within an industry. High reputation is effective in improving performance irrespective of competition. CI has a positive impact in the reputation–performance linkage. Advertising intensity (AI) played a significant moderating role in the CSR intensity and CR relationship.Originality/valueThis research represents an added value for the literature on CSR by highlighting the importance of CR, advertising strategy and market competition in the relationship between CSR and FP. The findings have several implications for theory and practice, which have been discussed in the study.

Research methodology
This case study is a compilation of data gathered from secondary data sources.

Case overview/synopsis
Roger Federer has won a record setting 20 grand slam titles in his career and has an impressive 103 ATP singles titles to his name. He has stood the test of time and is widely acknowledged as one of the most distinguished players of all times. His personal charisma, classic shot making abilities and consistent stylish on-court performance over a long period of time has created a brand – Roger Federer. Inevitably, as he will have to wind down his career, it would be challenging to brace the brand and identify ways for its endurance. Various models of brand management, namely, Brand Identity Prism and Customer-Based Brand Equity model, have been applied for the brand – Roger Federer. An analysis of brand-building practices can help to understand how sportspersons build brand equity and factors which characterize personal brands that develop in a professional arena. This case study also helps to dwell on how human brands will sustain themselves after the players retire.

Complexity academic level
This case is designed to teach the concepts of brand in courses such as brand management, marketing management and sports marketing to both undergraduate and postgraduate classes of business management. This case can also be used in various executive programs and in customized short-term courses.
Low toxicity crop fungicide (fenbuconazole) impacts reproductive male quality signals leading to a reduction of mating success in a wild solitary bee
Authors: Boff Samuel , Conrad Taina , Raizer Josué , Wehrhahn Marten , Bayer Melis , Friedel Anna , Theodorou Panagiotis , Schmitt Thomas , Lupi Daniela 
Published: April 2022

Abstract

Recent reports on bee health suggest that sublethal doses of pesticides have negative effects on wild bee reproduction and ultimately on their population growth.

Females of the solitary horned mason bee Osmia cornuta, evaluate thoracic vibrations and odours of males to assess male quality. When certain criteria are met, the female accepts the male and copulates. However, these signals were found to be modified by sublethal doses of pesticides in other hymenopterans. Here, we tested whether sublethal doses of a commonly used fungicide (Fenbuconazole) impact male quality signals and mating success in O. cornuta.

Males exposed to fenbuconazole exhibited reduced thoracic vibrations and an altered cuticular hydrocarbon profile compared to the control bees. Moreover, males exposed to the fungicide were less successful in mating than control males.

Synthesis and applications. Our results indicate that a low toxicity fungicide can negatively affect male reproductive success by altering behavioural and chemical cues. This could explain the decreasing pollinator populations in a pesticide‐polluted environment. This study highlights the need for a more comprehensive approach, including behaviour and chemical cues, when testing new pesticides and a more cautionary approach to the pesticides already used on crops.
Healthy ageing through participation in community situated activities: A scoping review of assessment instruments to support occupational therapy practice
Authors: Knightbridge Lisa , Bourke‐Taylor Helen M. , Hill Keith D. 
Published: April 2022

AbstractIntroductionThe occupational therapy profession has an essential role to play in healthy ageing that includes enabling participation, a construct that according to The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), incorporates an environmental context. Environmental barriers and enablers of participation in community‐situated activities for people over the age of 65 have been identified. To support practice, occupational therapists require assessments with demonstrated content validity including comprehensive coverage of the construct. The purpose of this scoping review study was to investigate what instruments are available to assess community participation for people over the age of 65 that included environmental factors.MethodsA scoping review of the literature was conducted, utilising the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) scoping review methodology. The evidence source was review articles and inclusion criteria were that they reviewed instruments to assess participation that could be used for people over the age of 65. Items extracted from included instruments were evaluated against a preset list of community‐participation and environment categories that had been developed from the ICF.ResultsTwenty‐three review studies met inclusion criteria and from these 240 instruments were extracted. Twenty instruments were retained after exclusions and from these, 540 instrument items were extracted. Of these, 280 (47%) were coded as community‐participation, and only 20 (3.4%) as environment items. Fourteen of the instruments included no environment items.ConclusionsNo instrument was identified that comprehensively assessed community participation including the related environmental factors. Such an instrument is required to enable occupational therapy practitioners to support healthy ageing. The development of such an instrument will strengthen the profession's capacity to develop new ways of delivering services to older adults in line with emerging ways that aged care will be delivered and to advance its essential role in healthy ageing.
