Immigrant prisoners in Italy. Cultural mediation to reduce social isolation and increase migrant prisoner well-being?
Authors: Garro Maria , Schirinzi Massimiliano , Novara Cinzia , Ayllon Alonso Elena 
Published: August 2022

Purpose
This study aims to highlight how easy it is for immigrants to break Italian law because of the country’s inadequate cultural and linguistic mediation service. Insufficiencies in this service also have a negative impact on both the psychological and physical health of migrant prisoners. Furthermore, Italian is used in legal disputes and prison, and reference is made to Italian culture, preventing migrants from understanding their position regarding the law.

Design/methodology/approach
This report concerns the psychological discomfort of migrant incarcerated individuals within Italian prisons due to national laws in force. Consideration is also given to the negative impact on the physical health of incarcerated migrants.

Findings
Best practice should include adequate space for linguistic and cultural mediation in reception centres and prisons. It is considered suitable to combat social exclusion, even in prison.

Research limitations/implications
The report is not research on prisoners, but it focuses on making visible the condition of migrant individuals incarcerated in Italy.

Social implications
Enforced isolation does not allow immigrants to become a community resource but has negative repercussions in terms of financial, social and well-being costs.

Originality/value
This paper is one of few in limited, national or otherwise scientific output, to contribute to migrant inmate visibility in Italy. Taking action for the well-being of migrant prisoners will not only have a positive impact on a social level but should also help reintegrate these individuals after serving their sentence.
Customer incivil behavior and employee retaliation
Authors: Agnihotri Arpita , Bhattacharya Saurabh 
Published: August 2022

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to examine a moderated mediation relationship between customer incivility and employee retaliation.Design/methodology/approachThis study tested the hypotheses using data from 459 hospitality industry employee responses. Data was collected by using Amazon’s MTurk.FindingsThe study results suggest that employee anger mediates the customer incivility and employee retaliation relationship. Further, the employee’s regulatory focus (namely, promotion and preventive regulatory focus) moderates this mediated relationship. Specifically, employee promotion regulatory focus positively moderates the relationship between customer incivility and employee anger, whereas prevention regulatory focus negatively moderates the relationship.Originality/valueExtant study has not explored customer incivility and employee retaliation relationship under moderated mediation influence of regulatory focus and employee anger, respectively.
Competitive advantage via intellectual capital: a moderated mediation analysis
Authors: Mohammad Shafiee Majid 
Published: August 2022

PurposeLooking for ways to gain competitive advantage (CA) is one of the most challenging issues for today's businesses. Although previous research considered several aspects in this regard, the literature has largely overlooked the process of gaining CA via strategic intangibles, regarding business type and context. This paper aims to examine how to gain CA through strategic intangibles such as intellectual capital (IC).Design/methodology/approachBuilding on the concept of IC, and using data gathered from both the manufacturing/service and public/private firms, the authors tested a moderated mediation model to determine if the effect of IC on CA was conditioned on business type, competitive intensity and managerial support.FindingsAmong the factors in the relationship between IC and CA, the results discovered the role of business intelligence (BIN) and brand image (IM), as two key mediators. Furthermore, it was revealed that managerial support and competitive intensity moderate the relationship between IC, the mediators and CA. Finally, the authors provide academics and practitioners with some implications.Originality/valuePrevious research did not fully address the aforementioned antecedents (i.e., IC, BIN and IM) toward CA in a comprehensive model. Developing the path toward CA by focusing on the role of intangibles, the authors proposed a moderated mediation model, which has hitherto received scant attention in the field of competition.
Unethical practices in online classes during COVID-19 pandemic: an analysis of affordances using routine activity theory
Authors: Hazra Ummaha , Priyo Asad Karim Khan 
Published: August 2022

Purpose
While online classes have enabled many universities to carry out their regular academic activities, they have also given rise to new and unanticipated ethical concerns. We focus on the “dark side” of online class settings and attempt to illuminate the ethical problems associated with them. The purpose of this study is to investigate the affordances stemming from the technology-user interaction that can result in negative outcomes. We also attempt to understand the context in which these deleterious affordances are actualized.

Design/methodology/approach
We obtain the data from narratives written by students at a top private university in Bangladesh about their experiences of online classes and exams and from focus group discussions with them. We use the lens of affordance theory to identify the abilities that goal-oriented actors – primarily students – obtain from the technology-user interactions, which result in negative outcomes. We also attempt to understand the contextual actualization of those affordances through the lens of Routine Activity Theory (RAT).

Findings
We find three deleterious affordances and three associated deviant outcomes. Non-monitorability which results in academic dishonesty, disguiseability which results in cyber-truancy, and intrudeability which results in embarrassment and harassment. Our findings reveal a deeper underlying problem with the existing educational approach in the universities of Bangladesh and suggest that there is a need to introduce more modern teaching techniques focused on issues such as student engagement and interactive learning.

Originality/value
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first paper that combines affordance theory with RAT to identify unethical practices observed in online class settings in the context of a least developed country like Bangladesh and to examine the environmental components that give rise to the pre-conditions for the unethical practices to surface.
The impact of a pandemic on knowledge sharing behavior: a COR perspective
Authors: Pradhan Sudeepta , Bashir Makhmoor , Singh Sweta 
Published: August 2022

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to look at the attitudes of the employees in terms of sharing knowledge during COVID-19 in an online environment and the various difficulties associated and to analyze knowledge sharing (KS) in a virtual office setting, using the conservation of resources theory.

Design/methodology/approach
A qualitative approach was used by conducting face-to-face interviews online through GoogleMeet, Skype and Zoom. A total of 34 interviews from 14 multinational companies (or their subsidiaries), in a supervisory role, were conducted for the study. A thematic analysis was conducted to analyze the responses.

Findings
During a crisis, the tendency of employees to share knowledge at the individual, team and organizational level increases and is interlinked. The results of this study suggest that during the initial phases of lockdown, the creativity levels among employees were high; however, as the work from the office got postponed because of extended lockdowns, the creativity level of employees saw a dip. Furthermore, the findings of this study also highlighted that KS in remotely located teams was found to be dependent on the extent to which the team members knew each other, such that known teams were in a better position to share knowledge than a newly formed team with unknown or less known members.

Research limitations/implications
This study has 34 respondents which is an acceptable number for a qualitative inquiry. However, the number of industries could be increased for generalization purposes. Responses were collected from a group of knowledge workers who were willing to correspond digitally, using social media channels of the authors, such as Linkedin. Responses collected personally could provide different results.

Practical implications
This study provides insights into visible change in organizational processes. The conceptual model developed in this study has several implications which will help chief knowledge officers to understand why the various individual, team and organizational factors lead to KS, particularly with respect to COVID-19.

Originality/value
This study has explored a contemporary phenomenon – KS during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, in an online environment. This study depicts the extant literature on knowledge management during a pandemic, thus bridging the scholarly gap. This study tried to bring in a broader perspective by selecting respondents across continents, domains and varied age groups. Fourth, most studies analyzing KS/knowledge hiding in the extant literature, especially during the pandemic, have followed a quantitative approach. This study followed a qualitative approach to gain insights into the KS of the firm and the thoughts and practicalities behind it.

Published: August 2022

AbstractBackgroundIn the disability sector globally, and specifically in Australia, assessments of functioning have become key to diagnostic processes, and accessing therapy and funding. Over half of all individuals accessing support through Australia's National Disability Insurance Scheme have a neurodevelopmental condition diagnosis. Little is known about assessments of functioning for this population.MethodsA mixed methods online survey was designed to understand the current assessment of functioning practices (including clinical contexts, concepts being assessed, and assessment methods) and barriers and facilitators to clinicians using best practice. Results were analysed descriptively, and differences between professions calculated where possible. Content analysis was used to explore qualitative comments.ResultsClinicians from various medical and allied health backgrounds completed the survey (n = 93), with varying ranges of age, experience, and education. Clinicians reported that they assessed functioning across age, setting, sector, funding body, and individuals with a wide variety of diagnoses. Missing from current practice is a clear transdisciplinary conceptualisation of functioning. The largest barriers to best practice were limited time, large caseloads, availability of appropriate tools, and lack of clarity from funding bodies.ConclusionsMissing from current practice is a clear transdisciplinary conceptualisation of functioning.These results will help inform steps forward to improve assessment of functioning practices to ensure that all individuals receive appropriate and sufficient support.
Plot size and sustainable input intensification in smallholder irrigated agriculture: Evidence from Egypt
Authors: Abay Kibrom A. , Abdelfattah Lina , El‐Enbaby Hoda , Mahmoud Mai , Breisinger Clemens 
Published: August 2022

AbstractIncreasing population pressure and population density in many African countries are inducing land scarcity and land constraints. Tightening land constraints are expected to trigger various responses, including agricultural intensification, as postulated by the Boserup hypothesis. The relevance of the Boserup hypothesis in irrigated agriculture, and in contexts where application of improved inputs is high, remains largely unexplored. Furthermore, while much of the debate on the topic in Africa has focused on how to boost agricultural intensification, there is scant evidence on whether evolving agricultural intensification practices in some parts of Africa are sustainable. In this article, we investigate the implication of land size (at the plot and farm level) on agricultural intensification. Our analysis sheds light on the relevance of the Boserup hypothesis in the context of Egypt, where irrigation dominates agriculture and input application rates are high relative to global standards. We also examine whether evolving agricultural intensification practices induced by land scarcity are agronomically appropriate. Our findings show that smaller plot and farm sizes are associated with higher application of agricultural inputs, mainly nitrogen fertilizers. Importantly, small plot size is associated with overapplication of nitrogen fertilizer relative to crop‐specific agronomic recommendations. In addition, smaller plots are associated with higher rates of labor application and lower rates of mechanization.
Input subsidies, credit constraints, and expectations of future transfers: Evidence from Haiti
Authors: Gignoux Jérémie , Macours Karen , Stein Daniel , Wright Kelsey 
Published: August 2022

AbstractWe examine the effects of a subsidy program in Haiti that provided smallholders subsidies for inputs (rice seeds, fertilizer, pesticides, and specific labor tasks) using a randomized control trial. The program led to lower input use and lower yields in the year subsidies were received, and the decline in input use and yields persisted through the following year. Using data from a complementary information intervention in which randomly selected farmers were provided clarification regarding their future receipt of vouchers, we find evidence suggesting that incorrect expectations of future transfers partially explain the disappointing outcomes. In addition, instead of increasing input use, the subsidies seem to have led farmers to pay off their loans and take fewer new ones. In complex post‐emergency environments such as the one in which this program took place, input subsidies may need to be avoided, as they require considerable information to optimally design and careful coordination by many actors to achieve the expected gains.
Resolution of severe cardiomyopathy after catheter ablation of an anteroseptal accessory pathway: A case report
Authors: Baqal Omar J. , Ladia Vatsal M. , El Masry Hicham 
Published: August 2022

AbstractIn patients with non‐sustained tachyarrhythmias, left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction is uncommon. The role of catheter ablation (CA) in asymptomatic patients with tachyarrhythmia remains unclear. We report a 20‐year‐old patient without sustained tachyarrhythmia with a left ventricular ejection fraction of 20% who underwent radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) of anteroseptal accessory pathway. She achieved normalization of left ventricular systolic function noted on echocardiography performed at 4 weeks post‐ablation. Our case highlights significant improvement in LV systolic function after catheter ablation of an “asymptomatic” ventricular pre‐excitation. Current guidelines do not endorse ablating asymptomatic patients, but careful follow‐up with serial echocardiograms might be warranted. Prophylactic ablation of those patients with clear evidence of LV dyssynchrony or wide left bundle branch pattern and persistent pre‐excitation is worth further consideration.
The influence of socioeconomic status on access to cancer care and survival in resectable pancreatic cancer: a systematic review and meta‐analysis
Authors: Petric Josipa , Handshin Samuel , Jonnada Pavan Kumar , Karunakaran Monish , Barreto Savio George 
Published: August 2022

AbstractBackgroundSocioeconomic status (SES) is an important factor affecting access to cancer care and survival. Its role in pancreatic cancer warrants scrutiny.MethodsA systematic review of major reference databases was undertaken. Categorization of the study population into low SES (LSES) and high SES (HSES) was based on the criteria employed in the individual studies. The outcome measures studied were stage of cancer presentation, access to care and overall survival. Meta‐analysis was performed using random‐effects models and trial sequential analysis (TSA) was used to assess the precision and conclusiveness of the results.ResultsThirteen studies meeting inclusion criteria were included in the meta‐analysis, which demonstrated that LSES was associated with significantly lower rates of presentation at a non‐metastatic stage and poorer access to cancer care, viz. surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Despite heterogeneity, TSA supported the findings, displaying minimal type I error.ConclusionAs LSES is associated with delayed presentation, poorer access to care and poorer survival, SES should be considered a modifiable risk factor for poor outcomes in pancreatic cancer.
Assessing the impact of the 2018 National Health and Medical Research Council polyp surveillance guidelines on compliance with surveillance intervals at two public hospitals

Published: August 2022

AbstractBackgroundSeveral studies have highlighted poor compliance with surveillance colonoscopy guidelines. The National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) guidelines were revised in 2018 and were more complex than the previous iteration (2011). The aim of this study was to determine the impact of 2018 NHMRC polyp surveillance guidelines on compliance with colonoscopy surveillance intervals.MethodsA multicentre retrospective clinical audit was conducted between January 2020 and February 2021. Patients awaiting a colonoscopy for polyp surveillance at two public tertiary care hospitals in South Australia were included. Compliance rates of recommended polyp surveillance colonoscopy intervals after implementation of 2018 NHMRC guidelines were compared with 2011 NHMRC guidelines. The projected impact on colonoscopy bookings of the change in guideline intervals was modelled to 5 and 10 years, factoring in differences in compliance.ResultsOf 3996 patients awaiting colonoscopy services at two public hospitals in South Australia, 1984 patients (60% male, median age 61 years) were waitlisted for polyp surveillance. Overall compliance with surveillance guidelines was >60%. Implementation of the 2018 NHMRC guidelines significantly reduced compliance from 65.8% (2011 guidelines) to 50.8% (2018) (χ2 <0.001, OR 0.5). Modelling projections to 5 and 10 years demonstrated that application of the 2018 guidelines significantly increases the projected number of colonoscopy bookings per year.ConclusionThe revised 2018 NHMRC guidelines have resulted in significantly poorer compliance post‐implementation, possibly due to their increased complexity. This has potential to increase the surveillance colonoscopy waiting list burden.
Pinpoint accuracy: guided core biopsy diagnostic accuracy in musculoskeletal lesions
Authors: Killick Luca , D'Arcy Matt , Coates Mark , Beadel Gordon 
Published: August 2022

AbstractBackgroundCore biopsy is integral in the work‐up of diagnosis for musculoskeletal lesions. Prior to referral through Christchurch hospital—a tertiary referral centre for sarcomas/musculoskeletal lesions, many patients undertake guided core biopsy in peripheral hospitals. We wished to assess the accuracy of these biopsies undertaken in the peripheral centres and compare to those done in the tertiary setting.MethodsA retrospective analysis of image‐guided core biopsies done in the South Island of New Zealand over a 5 year period was performed. An electronic database enquiry was made, and electronic notes were then screened for core biopsy results including subsequent biopsies done of the same lesion. Results from guided core biopsy were then recorded as diagnostic if the pathologist was able to reach or a definitive diagnosis, or guide management sufficiently.Results223 patients with 229 biopsies were analysed. Overall accuracy of core biopsies were 83% across all centres. There were similar results between CT and ultrasound as well as soft tissue and bone lesions. Between the regions, the peripheral centres showed high accuracy compared with the tertiary centres.ConclusionThe regional centres demonstrated high diagnostic yield, and the current practice of providing core biopsy locally where possible prior to referral to a tertiary sarcoma, remains valid.
Ophthalmology research in the Warsaw Jewish ghetto—hunger disease and the story of Szymon Fajgenblat, MD
Authors: Zegers Richard H. C. , Ciesielska Maria , Grzybowski Andrzej 
Published: August 2022

AbstractPurposeDuring World War II, scientific studies were conducted in the Jewish ghetto of Warsaw (Poland). This research, focusing on hunger‐induced disease, was embedded in circumstances of omnipresent hunger and starvation. Ophthalmologist Szymon Fajgenblat (1900–1944) was one of the involved physicians and wrote a manuscript about ophthalmological changes during starvation. The background and the findings of his research are discussed in this article.MethodsLiterature and archival research.ResultsThe Warsaw ghetto existed from 1941 to 1943 until it was destroyed, just like most of its inhabitants. Before destruction took place, the Nazis tried to kill the residents—almost half a million Jews—by means of starvation. Led by dermatologist Israel Milejkowski, a group of Jewish physicians decided to study the physical effects of hunger on human beings. Twenty‐eight physicians would participate in the Hunger Disease Studies, including Fajgenblat. He linked cataracts to serious undernourishment and observed scleral thinning as another sign in hunger disease; the latter likely responsible for the low intraocular pressure found in the study population. Surprisingly, no complaints of night blindness or ophthalmological findings, characteristic of vitamin A deficiency, were observed in the study population.ConclusionThe Hunger Disease Studies are a unique written medical and historical monument of the Jewish physicians of the Warsaw ghetto. Ophthalmologist Szymon Fajgenblat was one of them and left behind an ophthalmological study as his legacy.
