Quality 4.0 – understanding the criticality of the dimensions using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) technique
Authors: Sureshchandar G.S. 
Published: March 2022

PurposeIn this era of Industry 4.0, characterized by disruptive technologies, there is a need to identify and understand the role of the quality function in the excellence journey. Quality 4.0 refers to the digitalization of quality work in the context of Industry 4.0. As Quality 4.0 is a new concept, empirical research on the subject is extremely scant. Therefore, this study aims to identify and understand the criticality of the dimensions of Quality 4.0. Design/methodology/approachThe present research identifies 12 axes (dimensions) of Quality 4.0 based on literature review and inputs from experts. The identified axes have been prioritized using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) technique.FindingsThe study concludes that the 12 dimensions contribute to outcome indicators such as organizational performance, agility and sustainability. It further adds that though technology is vital for Quality 4.0, elements of traditional quality such as leadership, quality culture, customer focus, quality systems, compliance, competence, analytical thinking, data-driven decision making, etc. are mandatory for the transformation journey. In today's context except for a few matured organizations, others are even struggling to implement the traditional aspects of quality.Research limitations/implicationsCues to further research are provided which would help in the better understanding of Quality 4.0 and its role in the Industry 4.0 scenario.Practical implicationsThis research would help the practitioners understand the determinants of Quality 4.0 system and their effects on organizational performance, agility and sustainability.Originality/valueThe present research work strives to throw light on the criticality of the dimensions of Quality 4.0, thereby contributing to theory building, especially given the paucity of literature in Quality 4.0.
Trust in peer-to-peer (P2P) lending platforms in Malaysia: understanding the determinants from retail investors' perspectives
Authors: Khan Mohammad Tariqul Islam 
Published: March 2022

PurposeDespite a large stake of investment by retail investors and a growing number of peer-to-peer (P2P) lending platforms coupled with the initiation of secondary market and strong regulatory framework, less is known what leads investors to trust in P2P (TP2P) lending platforms in a multi-ethnic country, Malaysia. This study aims to investigate the effects of individual characteristics (gender, age, ethnicity, education and income), social influence of P2P (SIP2P) lending and privacy of P2P (PP2P) lending on the trust in emerging P2P platforms.Design/methodology/approachA cross-sectional survey was conducted to collect the data from retail investors in Malaysia. A variance-based partial least squares-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) model was applied to examine the significant predictors of TP2P lending platforms.FindingsThe results show that while investors' income is positively related to TP2P lending platforms, younger investors are less likely to have trust on P2P lending platforms. PP2P lending platforms increases retail investors' trust toward P2P platforms in Malaysia.Practical implicationsP2P service providers are suggested to give especial attention to investors' specific characteristics to develop trust and attract investors to the platforms. Service providers need to ensure the privacy of potential investors' personal and confidential data to build investors' trust.Originality/valueThis is the first study to assess retail investors' trust toward online P2P lending platforms in Malaysia, where this alternative financing platform gradually gaining popularity.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to critically examine the National Home Grown School Feeding Programme (NHGSFP) in Nigeria. Its special focus is to investigate the impact of NHGSFP on rural communities in Nigeria.Design/methodology/approachThis paper adopts a survey research technique, aimed at gathering information from a representative sample of the population, as it is essentially cross-sectional, describing and interpreting the current situation. A total of 2,400 households were sampled across the six geopolitical regions of Nigeria.FindingsThe results from the use of a combined propensity score matching and logit model indicate that NHGSFP makes significant contributions to improving the health and educational status of rural school children, stimulates job creation and boosts rural economy.Practical implicationsThis implies that a well-designed and integrated Home Grown School Feeding Programme (HGSFP) can make significant contributions to improving food security at the household level, spurring job creation and boosting agricultural markets.Social implicationsThis suggests the need for a purposeful engagement and support from all stakeholders to ensure the success of HGSFP.Originality/valueThis research adds to the literature on school feeding in low-income countries. It concludes that school feeding programmes have been shown to directly increase the educational and nutritional status of recipient children and indirectly impact the economic and social lives of themselves and their family.
Female workers' career success in the handicraft industry: a study of Uttarakhand, India
Authors: Joshi Gunjan , Dhar Rajib Lochan 
Published: March 2022

PurposeThis work is an extension of research on worker participation in achieving career success by including a prominent contextual construct, that is social capital. The present research aims to study how competency development influences the intrinsic career success of females in the handicraft industry, by considering the role of perceived employability as a mediator and social capital as a moderator. By doing so, this paper aims to fill the vacuum in the career literature that suggests that career success is not gender neutral.Design/methodology/approachData was collected from handicraft workers by adopting the survey method. CFA and SPSS macro named PROCESS were used to analyse data.FindingsCompetency development influences the subjective career success of female workers, and perceived employability mediated the relationship between them. Moreover, social capital independently moderates the relationship between the participation of workers in competency development and perceived employability.Research limitations/implicationsThe study is conducted in the Indian context alone, and therefore future studies must be conducted globally to deepen the scholarly dialogue on female workers' career success. Also, the current study measures career success, from a subjective perspective, thus future studies can measure female workers' objective career success.Practical implicationsThe current paper identifies the need to study the factors contributing to female workers' career success in small industries.Social implicationsConventional industries and their workers' career success must be given equal importance by researchers, practitioners and policymakers.Originality/valueThe paper fills the gap in career research by exploring female workers' career success through empirical evidence.
The contribution effect of learning experience on financial well-being of government retirees in North-Central Nigeria
Authors: Soepding Benard Alkali 
Published: March 2022

Purpose
This study aims to determine the contribution effect of learning experience on the financial well-being of government retirees in North-Central Nigeria. Special emphasis was placed on the contribution effect of the elements of the learning experience.

Design/methodology/approach
This study used correlational and cross-sectional research designs based on a questionnaire survey of 376 retirees drawn from North-Central Nigeria. A confirmatory factor analysis was used to identify the factors of learning experience using the Analysis of Moments of Structures (AMOS) software, version 23. The contributory effect of the confirmed sub-domains of learning experience on the financial well-being of retirees was established using hierarchical regression.

Findings
Confirmatory factor analysis results confirmed that financial knowledge, financial planning and financial self-efficacy are factors of learning experience. Although the sub-domains of the learning experience are significant predictors of financial well-being, financial knowledge has a significant effect on financial well-being, followed by financial planning and financial self-efficacy. The sub-domains of learning experience collectively explain about 46.5% of the variance in the financial well-being of retirees in North-Central Nigeria.

Originality/value
Unlike most other documentation on financial well-being, which has focused on the general effect of the learning experience as a global variable, this study explores the role played by the three dimensions of learning experience and methodologically isolates the contribution of each dimension with respect to retirees in developing countries. As such, we uncover the reality that all the sub-domains of the learning experience are significant for the financial well-being of retirees in a developing country context, though in varying effects.

AbstractFew studies have reported the simultaneous resection of synchronous rectal and prostate cancers. Here, we report five patients undergoing simultaneous robotic‐assisted laparoscopic surgery (RALS) for synchronous rectal and prostate cancer. Rectal cancer operative procedures were high anterior (n =1), intersphincteric (n =2), or abdominoperineal (n =2) resection, followed by radical prostatectomy with vesico‐urethral anastomosis. There were no conversions to open surgery, with R0 resection achieved for all rectal cancer cases. The median operative time was 629 (range, 431–764) minutes, and the median estimated blood loss was 100 (range, 20–345) mL. There was one case of colorectal anastomotic leakage requiring covering ileostomy, and two cases of vesico‐urethral anastomotic leakage requiring Foley catheter reinsertion. Ileostomies were finally closed in all patients. Pad‐free or safety‐pad usage for post‐surgical urinary incontinence at 6 and 12 months was 3/5 and 5/5, respectively. Simultaneous RALS for synchronous rectal and prostate cancer may offer a safe and feasible approach in selected patients.

AbstractTransanal total mesorectal excision is a relatively new approach for treating lower rectal cancer. Carbon dioxide embolism is a critical complication of this procedure. We report the case of a 69‐year‐old man with lower rectal cancer who underwent transanal total mesorectal excision followed by laparoscopic low anterior resection. He had a sudden intraoperative carbon dioxide embolism during the transanal mesorectal excision. During the ventral dissection of the rectum, end‐tidal carbon dioxide and blood oxygen saturation suddenly decreased. We stopped the insufflation of carbon dioxide and suspended the procedure. There was no circulatory collapse, and the vital signs gradually recovered; therefore, we resumed the surgery approximately 30 minutes later and completed it without additional complications. Upon reviewing the video, we found a small injured vein that would aspirate carbon dioxide. These findings suggested that careful hemostasis is essential to prevent carbon dioxide embolus during transanal total mesorectal excision.

AbstractThe genetic causes of idiopathic premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) and nonobstructive azoospermia (NOA) remain unclear. We performed whole‐exome sequencing (WES) in members of a consanguineous family with two POI and two NOA patients to screen for potential pathogenic variants for familial POI and NOA. And a homozygous variant in SPATA22 (c.400C>T:p.R134X) was identified. Histological analysis and spermatocyte spreading assay demonstrated that the spermatogenesis was arrested at a zygotene‐like stage in the proband with NOA. The candidate gene was further screened in the in‐house WES database of idiopathic POI‐affected patients. One additional compound heterozygous variant in SPATA22 (c.900+1G>A and c.31C>T:p.R11X) was found in one patient with sporadic POI and validated by minigene assay. Thus, this is the first report identifying SPATA22 as the causative gene for human POI. Combined with the observations in the familial patient with NOA, our findings highlighted the essential role of meiotic HR genes in gametogenesis and gonadal function maintenance.
Seizure latency and epilepsy localization as predictors of recurrence following epilepsy surgery
Authors: Klodowski David A. , George Brandon J. , Sperling Michael R. 
Published: March 2022

SummaryObjectiveThe primary purpose is to determine whether the time between epilepsy surgery and first seizure recurrence can estimate the timing of the next seizure event for temporal and extratemporal epilepsy. A secondary endpoint aimed to compare temporal and extratemporal epilepsy surgery and examine which subgroup has a higher hazard of subsequent seizure recurrence.MethodsData used were from a retrospective database at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital. Records were stratified into temporal (n = 943) and extratemporal (n = 125) surgeries. Analyses were done using SAS and utilized Cox proportional hazards models while controlling for demographics and clinical factors. The primary predictor of time between surgery and first recurrence was treated as a nominal variable binned into six segments, whereas secondary endpoints used a categorical predictor of epilepsy location while controlling for seizure latency.ResultsGenerally, as seizure latency following surgery increased, the time between first seizure and second seizure increased. These results were statistically meaningful in the temporal set (Wald chi‐squared = 40.4715, df = 5, p < .0001). Outcomes could also be interpreted based on predictor group; for instance, if Seizure 1 occurred 1–2 months following surgery in the temporal set, the median number of days until the next seizure was 35.5 days (95% confidence interval [CI] = 21–89 days). Secondary analysis showed that temporal lobe epilepsy had a lower hazard of a second seizure than extratemporal lobe epilepsy (89.2% reduction in hazard; 95% CI = .015–.795).SignificanceThis analysis provides a framework to use initial seizure latency to predict the median number of days until the next seizure event, while stratifying based on epilepsy location and controlling for multiple variables. It also suggests that the hazard of seizure recurrence in temporal lobe epilepsy is lower than in extratemporal lobe epilepsy.
A user study with aspect‐based sentiment analysis for similarity of items in content‐based recommendations
Authors: Zanon André Levi , Souza Luan , Pressato Diany , Manzato Marcelo Garcia 
Published: March 2022

AbstractMost studies on recommender systems focus on collaborative algorithm approaches over content‐based recommendation due to their better accuracy results. However, the advantage of the latter is that it is more effective and more transparent with user applications. This article proposes WordRecommender, an explainable content‐based algorithm that calculates similarity by semantic proximity. Its preprocessing step involves analyses of movie reviews to obtain aspects, defined as relevant words of high sentimental value. Recommendations are generated by a neighbourhood algorithm that calculates the similarity of films based on the semantic proximity of the aspects ordered by their emotional score. It can also consider a semantic comparison of metadata using the most related aspects from the recommended movie and one enjoyed by the user for the production of textual explanations. The accuracy of the algorithm was competitive with those of other baseline neighbourhood methods, and the semantic data of items can be the source of both representative information and reasoning in recommender systems.
Pain self‐management intervention supports successful attainment of self‐selected rehabilitation goals—secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial
Authors: Gustavsson Catharina , von Koch Lena 
Published: March 2022

AbstractObjectives(i) Describe patients' self‐selected activity‐related rehabilitation goals, and (ii) compare attainment of these rehabilitation goals among people with persistent tension‐type neck pain receiving a group‐based pain and stress self‐management intervention (PASS) or individual physiotherapy (IPT).MethodsBefore intervention and random allocation to PASS or IPT, 156 people (PASS n = 77, IPT n = 79), listed three self‐selected activity‐related rehabilitation goals by use of the Patient Goal Priority Questionnaire (PGPQ). For each activity goal, participants rated limitations in activity performance, self‐efficacy and fear of activity performance, readiness to change to improve performance, and expectations of future activity performance. At follow‐ups (10 weeks, 20 weeks, 1 year and 2 years after inclusion), participants also responded to a question on changes made to improve activity performance. Mann–Whitney U test was used to evaluate between‐group differences.ResultsThere were between‐group differences in favour of PASS in the attainment of self‐selected rehabilitation goals with regard to activity limitations and satisfaction with activity performance at all follow‐ups.ConclusionsPASS was more successful than IPT for the attainment of self‐selected rehabilitation goals, improvements in activity limitations and satisfaction with activity performance as measured by PGPQ. The PASS programme emphasized the importance of applying active pain‐ and stress‐coping techniques in personal ‘risk situations’ for pain flare‐ups, which appear to support people with persistent tension‐type neck pain to make changes in their lives to improve activity performance.Patient or Public ContributionPatient engagement in rehabilitation by self‐selected goals was investigated, but patients were not involved in the design or conduct of the study.

Implementation of Stock Epinephrine in Chartered Versus Unchartered Public‐School Districts
Authors: Neupert Kathryn B. , Huntwork Margaret P. , Udemgba Chioma , Carlson John C. 
Published: March 2022

ABSTRACTBACKGROUNDAccess to unassigned epinephrine is critical for schools to treat anaphylaxis. Low socioeconomic status is associated with decreased access to epinephrine in the school setting. In and around New Orleans, physicians partner with schools to assist with stocking unassigned epinephrine autoinjectors (EAIs). New Orleans' decentralized public charter school district makes widespread adoption challenging.METHODSPhysicians partnered with New Orleans decentralized public charter schools, as well as neighboring centralized public school districts, to perform training on recognizing and treating anaphylaxis, assist with the adoption of school policy for stock epinephrine, and aid with obtaining stock EIAs free‐of‐cost through the EpiPen4Schools® program. We used publicly available school enrollment data and our own calendar records to calculate how many children we covered with stock epinephrine per hour of physician or administrator time.RESULTSFor centralized school districts, we cover approximately 4000 children with stock epinephrine per hour of time. For the decentralized district of New Orleans, we estimate covering only 400 children with stock epinephrine per hour of time.CONCLUSIONDecentralized school districts reduce educational disparities, but require more time and energy to get EAIs in place than centralized school districts do.

Abstract
Prototheca spp. cause numerous infections in a wide variety of species, including treatment-unresponsive mastitis. Thus, the search for an effective therapy is essential. Silver nanoparticles are compounds with high therapeutic potential. This study aimed to evaluate the susceptibility profile and morphological changes in Prototheca spp. treated with biogenic silver nanoparticles (Bio-AgNP). The algaecide activity was evaluated in microplates by microdilution method, resulting in a MIC50 of 30 μg ml−1 and a MIC90 of 60 μg ml−1. Scanning electron microscopy demonstrated changes in the surface of Prototheca bovis cells following treatment. The algaecide activity of Bio-AgNP suggests a therapeutic potential as a novel approach for the control of Prototheca spp. in bovine mastitis.
