Published: February 2022

AbstractEmpiric antibiotic therapy in suspected prosthetic joint infection should cover likely pathogens while avoiding overly broad‐spectrum antibiotics. We analysed individual patient data from a large prospective cohort study (Prosthetic Joint Infection in Australia and New Zealand, Observational (PIANO)) and found that causative organisms vary with the presentation type, with early post‐operative infections more likely to be polymicrobial (41%) compared with late acute infections (10%). We thus propose empirical regimens tailored to the presentation type and presence or absence of sepsis.
Hybridizing adaptive large neighborhood search with kernel search: a new solution approach for the nurse routing problem with incompatible services and minimum demand

Published: February 2022

AbstractThe average age of the population has grown steadily in recent decades along with the number of people suffering from chronic diseases and asking for treatments. Hospital care is expensive and often unsafe, especially for older individuals. This is particularly true during pandemics as the recent SARS‐CoV‐2. Hospitalization at home has become a valuable alternative to face efficiently a huge increase in treatment requests while guaranteeing a high quality of service and lower risk to fragile patients. This new model of care requires the redefinition of health services organization and the optimization of scarce resources (e.g., available nurses). In this paper, we study a Nurse Routing Problem that tries to find a good balance between hospital costs reduction and the well‐being of patients, also considering realistic operational restrictions like maximum working times for the nurses and possible incompatibilities between services jointly provided to the same patient. We first propose a Mixed Integer Linear Programming formulation for the problem and use some valid inequalities to strengthen it. A simple branch‐and‐cut algorithm is proposed and validated to derive ground benchmarks. In addition, to efficiently solve the problem, we develop an Adaptive Large Neighborhood Search hybridized with a Kernel Search and validate its performance over a large set of different realistic working scenarios. Computational tests show how our matheuristic approach manages to find good solutions in a reasonable amount of time even in the most difficult settings. Finally, some interesting managerial insights are discussed through an economic analysis of the operating context.

Published: February 2022

AbstractA series of Cr‐substituted hollandite solid solution BaxCsyCr2x+yTi8−2x−yO16 over a broad range of Cs content (x + y = 1.33, 0 ≤ x and y ≤ 1.33) were systematically investigated. A monoclinic‐to‐tetragonal phase transition was induced by increasing Cs content in the tunnel sites of the hollandite structure, and all members of the series show structure modulations related to the ordering of the Ba/Cs and vacancies along the tunnels. The thermodynamic stability of the Cr‐substituted hollandite samples was measured via high‐temperature oxide melt solution calorimetry, which included making the first measurements of the enthalpies of drop solution for Cs2O and BaO in sodium molybdate solvent at 800°C. Thermodynamic stability increased with increasing Cs content for the series of Cr‐substituted hollandite, which also exhibited a greater thermodynamic stability compared to other substituted hollandite analogs including Zn, Ga, Fe, and Al variants. The leaching performance, also known as aqueous durability, demonstrated that the fractional Cs release in the Cr hollandite samples is much lower than in other hollandite systems. After 7 days of leaching at 90°C, the lowest Cs release was observed in the sample with the highest Cs content, approximately 22 wt.% Cs. The Cs release could be further suppressed, by approximately 3× if the sample was further densified and sintered. The Cs release results correlated inversely to the thermodynamic stability, suggesting that the thermodynamic stability may be used in future materials design for nuclear waste immobilization.

Abstract

Aims
Despite a decline in tobacco smoking in the developed world, the developing world has witnessed an increase in such activity over recent years. An increase in antibiotic resistance has accompanied this increase in tobacco use, and we suggest that the two may be linked. This study aims to investigate the effect of cigarette smoke exposure on bacterial virulence and susceptibility to antibiotics.

Methods and Results
Pseudomonas aeruginosa passaged in the presence of Cigarette Smoke Condensate (CSC) exhibited reduced susceptibility towards Amikacin (p = 0.02), Tobramycin (p = 0.03) and Aztreonam (p = 0.007) and was accompanied by changes in growth dynamics as exposure to CSC increased. These observed changes persisted after passaging bacteria in CSC-free medium for 10 days. The genotoxicity of CSC on P. aeruginosa was evaluated by the standard Comet assay, which demonstrated DNA damage in the P. aeruginosa genome in Passage 15 compared to the CSC-unexposed cells. Gene expression analysis on selected virulence and quorum sensing genes showed that both flagellar (fliC and fleR) and quorum sensing (lasI/R and rhII) genes were significantly up-regulated in Passage 15.

Conclusions
Results confirm the genotoxic effect of cigarette smoke manifested in an increased antibiotic resistance, coupled with increased bacterial virulence

Significance and Impact of Study
This study is the first to elucidate a clear link between tobacco smoke residues and both increases in antibiotic resistance and the up-regulation of bacterial virulence markers
Registered nurses' perceptions of having a calling to nursing: A mixed‐method study

Published: February 2022

AbstractAimTo explore how nurses perceived having a calling to nursing.DesignA mixed‐method study.MethodsSurvey data collected in autumn 2020 and semi‐structured individual interview data collected in spring 2021. The 7925 survey respondents were care professionals and 414 of them were registered nurses. The 23 interview participants were registered nurses who responded to the survey. We examined the survey results using analysis of variance and t‐tests and the interview data with qualitative thematic analysis.ResultsRegistered nurses had a lower calling than other care professionals. Based on the interviews, having a calling to nursing produce four key findings. Nurses with a calling experienced their work as meaningful. They also adopted a humane and holistic approach to their work. However, their calling could change during their professional career. Due to its historical roots, having a calling was seen as a risk for the nursing profession, as it meant nurses had an oppressed position in society and nurses associated it with poor working conditions and low pay.ConclusionOur study showed that having a calling to nursing had multidimensional benefits for the individual nurse, their patient, colleagues, organization and society, but showed strong association between calling and nurses' poor working conditions and low pay.ImpactWe found that nurses had a lower calling than other care professionals. Calling still exists, but it can produce tension in modern nursing. Organizations and society need to focus on how calling can be seen as a more positive attribute of nursing and improve nurses' working conditions and pay.
In artificial intelligence (AI) we trust: A qualitative investigation of AI technology acceptance
Authors: Hasija Abhinav , Esper Terry L. 
Published: February 2022

AbstractArtificial intelligence (AI) applications are increasingly used to support supply chain management (SCM) activities. However, industry reports and recent research indicate difficulty in implementing AI solutions. This study explores the role of organizational factors in reconciling the differences between the potential SCM benefits of AI and its actual acceptance and use. We apply thematic analysis techniques to explore the marketing materials used by vendors of AI‐enabled software and interviews with organization leaders that have experience with the deployment of AI‐based technologies. The emergent model from our data analysis highlights organizational tactics often used to emphasize AI trustworthiness. Our findings suggest several tactics that could be used to convey that AI is a trustworthy technology. We build on the thematic model to situate the findings as offering theoretical extensions to the “social influence” aspect of UTAUT; and develop a robust call for research related to the effects of AI trustworthiness on internal, upstream, and downstream activities in the supply chain. The results contribute to academic conversations related to the acceptance and use of technology and the growing digitalization of supply chains. We outline managerial implications regarding the role of AI trustworthiness in AI use for managing SCM.

Published: February 2022

AbstractAimTo explore first‐year student nurses’ lived experience of learning in clinical placement in nursing homes.BackgroundNursing homes traditionally represent students’ first clinical placement sites during nurse education, and nursing home residents’ care needs can provide opportunities for student nurses to acquire both fundamental and specialised nursing skills. In clinical placements, students have opportunities to apply and integrate theoretical knowledge, practical skills and ethical competence in a clinical setting.DesignA qualitative design with a hermeneutic phenomenological approach was employed and reported in accordance with the COREQ guidelines.MethodsThe study was undertaken at three nursing homes affiliated with one Norwegian university. Close observation (173 h) and in‐depth individual interviews (n= 7) with first‐year student nurses were conducted to explore their lived experience of learning. Data analysis was guided by van Manen’s hermeneutic phenomenological approach.ResultsThe essential meaning of the phenomenon of learning in clinical placements in a nursing home setting is characterised by four themes: (1) navigating a new and complex learning context, (2) being emotionally affected when facing sickness and frailty, (3) having a vital need for support and guidance and (4) being engaged in learning.ConclusionsThe findings are discussed against the backdrop of educational learning theory. Learning in clinical placements in nursing homes is a multi‐faceted and complex phenomenon related to the students’ lived experience on the contextual, relational and individual levels. Overall, our findings demonstrate that learning in clinical placements is part of the process of professional identity development.Relevance to clinical practiceThe clinical practice arena should emphasise emotional support for student nurses, enhance their self‐directed reflection and explicitly focus on the essence of nursing in nursing homes.
Interbank money market concerns and actors’ strategies—A systematic review of 21st century literature

Published: February 2022

AbstractAs the reallocator of liquidity from banks with excess to banks with a deficit, the interbank money market (IMM) plays a fundamental role in the proper functioning of the banking system and the economy as a whole. The aggregate uncertainty derived from stochasticity of the overall level of the demand for short‐term liquidity and the likelihood of domino failures of tightly connected competitors who lend themselves vast amounts of liquidity explains the complexity of decisions in this environment. To identify the most significant factors influencing actors’ strategies, we first present the five underlying patterns discovered through a bibliometric analysis of 609 scientific documents in this field: contagion and systemic risk, stability, market structure, relationship and trust, and default and failure. Then, our detailed study findings on 160 recent works indicate elements that affect central banks’ strategies in reducing systemic risk and preventing financial contagion, as well as managing the interbank network in a way that makes it more stable and resilient to shocks to conserve market confidence. Furthermore, they address factors that influence banks’ strategies to maintain their lending relationships and mitigate default risk. In addition to summarizing potential research directions, this paper provides market participants with a strategy fact‐sheet.
Pyramidal Ownership and SOE Innovation

Published: February 2022

AbstractHow can state‐owned enterprises (SOEs) become more innovative in emerging economies where market competition emerges and state socialism remains? Rooted in a state socialism logic that traditionally prioritizes central planning, SOEs are increasingly challenged by a market competition logic espousing efficiency and innovation. We posit that the challenge, stemming from the grip of the state as the ultimate owner, may be mitigated for some SOEs under pyramidal ownership. A pyramid features SOEs being organized into chains of firms, creating indirect ownership and control through pyramidal layers. Such layers insulate state intervention in lower‐tier SOEs, loosening the grip of the state socialism logic and facilitating corresponding SOEs’ acceptance of the market competition logic, as reflected in more innovation. Leveraging a sample of SOEs in China, we find that SOEs innovate more when the number of pyramidal layers between them and the state increases. In addition, the innovation‐facilitating role of pyramidal ownership hinges on industry regulations and institutional development. Overall, this paper integrates research on institutional logics and pyramidal ownership to deepen our understanding of SOE innovation.

SummaryWeight management interventions designed specifically for men have become more common, but the extent to which socioeconomic factors are considered in trials of these interventions is unclear. We synthesized study characteristics, methods, and reporting of interventions with a behavioral component for men that report weight as an outcome, to establish the extent to which socioeconomic factors are considered during intervention design, conduct, and reporting. A comprehensive search was conducted on Medline, Embase, PsycINFO, and CENTRAL for studies published from January 2000 to July 2021. Thirty‐six trials were included. Educational attainment (n = 24) was the most frequently reported socioeconomic characteristic, followed by working status (n = 14) and area level deprivation (n = 12). Seven studies did not report any socioeconomic characteristics. Most studies (n = 20) did not mention the socioeconomic profile of their samples in relation to study strengths or limitations. Few (n = 4) consulted with men from lower socioeconomic groups during intervention design. One study examined potential differential intervention effects across socioeconomic groups, with most not powered to do so. Recent feasibility trials (n = 3) targeting specific socioeconomic groups suggest a potential nascent towards a greater consideration of factors related to equity. To best inform public health policy related to health inequalities, greater consideration of socioeconomic factors is required in trials of men's weight management interventions.
Monetary policy and anxious presidents: The effects of monetary shocks on presidential job approval
Authors: Adra Samer 
Published: February 2022

AbstractUsing high‐frequency identification, I show that the Federal Reserve significantly influences its political environment. A 50‐bp exogenous contractionary monetary shock is associated with a decline in the U.S. president's job approval by up to five percentage points in the subsequent 12 to 24 months. This loss exceeds the victory margin in six out of the eight latest elections. My findings also suggest that presidents who are in the second half of their terms are particularly vulnerable to monetary shocks. Such vulnerability is largely explained by the evolving attitudes toward key macroeconomic factors like unemployment and inflation over the presidential life cycle.Related ArticlesCho, Sungdai, and Garry Young. 2008. “The Asymmetric Impact of Inflation on Presidential Approval.” Politics & Policy 30(3): 401–30. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1747‐1346.2002.tb00128.xHazakis, Konstantinos J. 2015. “The Political Economy of Economic Adjustment Programs in the Eurozone: A Detailed Policy Analysis.” Politics & Policy 43(6): 822–54. https://doi.org/10.1111/polp.12141Pulatov, Abdullo, and Ahmad Hassan Ahmad. 2021. “Political Business Cycles in Post‐Communist European Countries.” Politics & Policy 49(5): 1248–69. https://doi.org/10.1111/polp.12427
Modernization, Political Economy, and Limits to Blue Growth: A Cross‐National, Panel Regression Study (1975–2016)*
Authors: Clark Timothy P. 
Published: February 2022

AbstractSeafood production and trade have expanded dramatically over the last 40 years and comprise one of the fastest growing, and most environmentally impactful, sub‐sectors of the global food system. While richer nations have increased their seafood consumption and displaced their environmental load, the marine environmental impact of fishery production has largely shifted to the waters of less‐affluent nations. To sustain fishing economies and seafood security, in an era of increasing marine ecological precarity constitutes a major challenge for development and human well‐being in the 21st century. Blue growth perspectives emphasize the transformative power of growth‐oriented development. Such perspectives conflict with critical political economic theories of environment and food systems; notably, the treadmill of production and world food system scholarship. Using annual data from the Global Footprint Network, World Bank, UN FAO, and International Monetary Fund, this study applies methods in cross‐national, panel regression analysis in order to ultimately pose some important challenges to modernist blue growth perspectives. The analysis suggests that economic growth and incorporation into the world market economy have led to unsustainable and inequitable outcomes regarding the marine ecological impact of fisheries.
Comparing students’ perceptions of the thinking required in inquiry‐based and traditional laboratories
Authors: Kruse Jerrid , Menke Lucas , Solem Libby 
Published: February 2022

AbstractInquiry‐based lab experiences have been shown to be more effective than traditional lab experiences. Students’ perceptions of the types of thinking required in science lab settings have implications for interest and persistence. This study compares students’ perceptions about the thinking required in traditional and inquiry laboratory settings. Findings include that students in the inquiry setting more often viewed their experiences as reflecting more reasonable and literature‐aligned views of creative and critical thinking. Implication for persistence and helping students develop more reasonable views of critical and creative thinking are discussed.
Limited environmental stability of infectious porcine endogenous retrovirus type C; Usage of reverse transcriptase in combination with viral RNA as markers for infectious virus
Authors: Fischer Nicole , Gulich Barbara , Tönjes Ralf R. , Godehardt Antonia W. 
Published: February 2022

AbstractIntroductionPorcine endogenous retroviruses (PERVs) are an integral part of the pig genome with infectious potential, as shown in vitro.Hypothesis/gap statementIn view of nonclinical and clinical xenotransplantation, data are essential that give an insight into viral pathogenicity. This includes PERV's environmental stability and environmental risk.AimWe analyzed two ecotropic PERV‐C (PERV‐C[1312] and ‐[5683]), monitoring cell‐free culture supernatants of infected ST‐IOWA cells at various time intervals at room temperature (22°C +/−1°C). The virus was stored in the presence or absence of sterile wood litter, as used for large animal husbandry. This approach was set to determine the environmental stability of exogenous PERV‐C at defined conditions for the first time.MethodologyReverse transcriptase (RT) activity and viral RNA were monitored for up to 57 days and remaining infectivity of supernatant without wood litter was tested from day 7 onwards on naïve ST‐IOWA cells.ResultsResults show that viral RNA decreases but remains detectable over the whole observation period, whereas RT activity showed 83%–96% reduction from day 7 on. This effect was stronger in the presence of wood litter and fresh harvested virus was more stable than frozen virus stocks. Even under these optimal conditions, no infectivity was shown for viral RNA‐positive and RT‐reduced supernatant harvested at day 7.ConclusionThe results confirm that PERV‐C is less stable and the reduction of RT activity is accompanied by reduced infectivity, independently of existing viral RNA. The combination of both RT and viral RNA measurement is a suitable method to differentiate infectious PERV‐C.
PRESUMPTIONS ABOUT GOD'S WISDOM IN MUSLIM ARGUMENTS FOR AND AGAINST EVOLUTION
Authors: Jalajel David Solomon 
Published: February 2022

AbstractWisdom‐based arguments recognize that God has the power to act or refrain from acting in a certain way, but His wisdom dictates a particular course of action. Such arguments have been applied on both sides of the creation/evolution debate among Muslims. This article analyzes a number of contemporary wisdom‐based arguments for and against evolution in light of how God's wisdom is understood by classical Muslim theologians of the three canonical Sunnī schools of Ashʿarism, Māturīdism, and Atharism/Salafism. It finds that there is a considerable disconnect between these contemporary arguments and how God's wisdom has been traditionally understood. It also examines the high level of subjectivity exhibited by these arguments and the potential negative impact this subjectivity could have on the broader debate.
Theories on Bourdon Tubes

Published: February 2022

Abstract
Theories of Walter Wuest; Alfred Wolf; Clark, Gilroy, and Reissner; and the author are compared. Results are presented in curves plotting the same dimensionless ratios in all cases. These curves are useful in designing Bourdon tubes of flat-oval, elliptical, or pointed-arc cross section. Experimental data are compared with a curve based on the author’s simplified theory, and an empirical curve of similar shape is drawn. Results of analyses of tip travel and tip force are given. A start is made on the project of the ASME Research Committee on Mechanical Pressure Elements to change Bourdon-tube designing from an art to a science.
