“…We utilized the inclusion and exclusion criteria in sifting the 1,273 documents based on whether they address any of the issues on sustainability performance within the context of manufacturing industry. The inclusion criteria represent the characteristics a document must necessarily possess to be relevant to this scoping review, while the exclusion criteria are additional features found in an otherwise relevant document, which disqualify it from being included in the review (Patino & Ferreira, 2018). Table 1 shows the inclusion and exclusion criteria of the screening documents usage for this scoping review.…”

Sustainability is a key area of concern for manufacturing firms' long-term success. However, the manufacturing industry has not been fully conscious of the potential sustainable values across manufacturing system. There is a need to better understand how companies can improve sustainable value creation. Recent research and practices have shown that sustainable operations can be one way to create sustainable values (e.g. economic, environmental and social). This review article focuses on the available empirical studies on the impact of lean and sustainability practices on sustainable performance from 2000 to 2018 in the context of manufacturing firms. Integrating lean and sustainability practices into manufacturing system confrontы operations managers with paradoxical tensions of sustainability objectives. Theoretically having paradoxical mindset will help firms' managers make sense of and responв to such paradoxical tensions. In the context of sustainable operations studies, the issue of paradoxical mindset has been given less emphasis. Therefore, through the lens of the paradox theory, this study has developed a new conceptual framework for future research to investigate how paradoxical mindset moderates the impact of lean and sustainability practices on the sustainable performance of manufacturing industry. This study may add to the understanding of the circumstances, under which lean and sustainability practices impact sustainable outcomes.

“…Researchers use inclusion and exclusion criteria to determine characteristics of the subjects or elements in a study. Typical inclusion criteria might be demographic, geographic and occupational groups [115]. Exclusion criteria are not the opposite of inclusion criteria: they identify attributes that prevent a person from being included in the study [116].…”

The present paper aims at revealing and ranking the factors that most frequently cause bias in marketing-related publications. In order to rank the factors causing bias, the authors employed the Analytic Hierarchy Process method with three different scales representing all scale groups. The data for the study were obtained through expert survey, which involved nine experts both from the academia and scientific publishing community. The findings of the study confirm that factors that most frequently cause bias in marketing related publications are sampling and sample frame errors, failure to specify the inclusion and exclusion criteria for researched subjects and non-responsiveness.

“…Many confounding factors (health system and provider related [32]) that were not feasible to collect in our study could have affected the adherence level and outcome. Although we tried to reduce the proportion of error by using random sampling, our inclusion criteria may have introduced selection bias and affected our findings [33]. In addition, our exclusion criteria may impact the external validity and the generalizability of this study.…”

To assess the prevalence of nonadherence to antihypertensive medications among adults attending Primary Healthcare Clinics (PHCs) in Al-Hasa Region. This cross-sectional study included participants from a variety of clinics in the region and each of them had been interviewed to complete the questionnaire. The participants were selected by random sampling from eight different PHCs. Data were collected by a structured questionnaire that was adopted from two different scales to determine the association between adherence and socioeconomic and health status characteristics. We included 372 participants with a mean (±standard deviation) age of 53 ± 12.4 years and most of them were male (62%, n = 231). The overall mean adherence based on our adapted scale was 5.3 ± 2.3. Among participants taking more than six medications, the percentage of nonadherent participants was significantly higher than the percentage of adherent participants (85% vs. 15%, p = 0.016). Participants with single comorbidity were more likely to be adherent than patients with multiple comorbidities (odds ratio = 1.52, p = 0.049). In conclusion, we found a high prevalence of nonadherence to antihypertensive medications in the Al-Hasa community and the main association factor was found to be the presence of comorbidity. Such high rate sends alarming messages for the need of potential interventions to improve adherence outcome.
