Why Employees Contribute to Pro-Environmental Behaviour: The Role of Pluralistic Ignorance in Chinese Society

In light of the importance of sustainable development, this study aims to deepen and extend our understanding of employees’ pro-environmental behaviour in the workplace in a Chinese context. Drawing on the complex phenomenon of social norms theory concerning misperceptions (i.e., pluralistic ignorance) and supervisor–subordinate guanxi (which is a Chinese term signifying human connection), we present a novel model in which employees’ pro-environmental behaviour is the result of multiple social and individual psychological factors. Through the integration of previous literature from the fields of the psychology of individuals, social psychology, and environmental psychology, the major assumption is that the pro-environmental behaviour of employees is affected by their level of pluralistic ignorance, environmental concern, and subjective norms; these, in turn, are influenced by supervisor–subordinate guanxi and social identity in the collective spirit of Chinese society. Data, which were analysed empirically, were gathered from 548 Chinese employees from the Jiangsu province of China. This study consequently reveals the subtle interplay among employees’ pluralistic ignorance, supervisor–subordinate guanxi, social identity, subjective norms, environmental concern, and their pro-environmental behaviour, while the deeper analysis offers considerable support for environmental management research and practice.
The Influence of a Campus-based Culinary, Nutrition Education Program, "College CHEF," on College Students' Self-efficacy with Cooking Skills and Nutrition Behaviors

Background: College students tend to have poor dietary habits. Self-efficacy is important in promoting positive behavior change and may be impactful when targeting college students' eating and cooking habits. Aim: To evaluate the influence of a campus-based culinary nutrition education program, the College CHEF, on participants' self-efficacy for cooking skills and techniques and fruit and vegetable (FV) use and consumption. Methods: Study subjects comprised intervention (N = 15) and control participants (N = 17). The mean age of the intervention group was 18 (SD = 0.00) with a mean age for control group participants of 18.3 (SD = 0.59). The intervention group participated in four weekly hands-on cooking/nutrition sessions. Pre- and post-surveys to assess changes with self-efficacy were administered through Qualtrics to both groups (Qualtrics Inc., 2013). Subscale responses were compared utilizing t-tests, apriori p < . 05. Results: Intervention participants reported significant improvements as compared to the control group for the Self-Efficacy for using Fruits, Vegetables, and Seasonings subscale (p =.015). Conclusion: Findings support the implementation of campus-based programming to improve college students’ self-efficacy for using fruits, vegetables, and seasonings with cooking to promote healthier eating and cooking behaviors. Future research should explore the various means to promote self-efficacy (i.e., vicarious experiences, mastery experience, verbal persuasion, and physiological feedback) among college students as part of similar programming.
Review of the diagnosis and management of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms

Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms are common lesions with the potential of harbouring/developing a pancreatic cancer. An accurate evaluation of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms with high-resolution imaging techniques and endoscopic ultrasound is mandatory in order to identify patients worthy either of surgical treatment or surveillance. In this review, the diagnosis and management of patients with intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms are discussed with a specific focus on current guidelines. Areas of uncertainty are also discussed, as there are controversies related to the optimal indications for surgery, surveillance protocols and surveillance discontinuation.
Incorporating Smart Card Data in Spatio-Temporal Analysis of Metro Travel Distances

The primary objective of this study is to explore spatio-temporal effects of the built environment on station-based travel distances through large-scale data processing. Previous studies mainly used global models in the causal analysis, but spatial and temporal autocorrelation and heterogeneity issues among research zones have not been sufficiently addressed. A framework integrating geographically and temporally weighted regression (GTWR) and the Shannon entropy index (SEI) was thus proposed to investigate the spatio-temporal relationship between travel behaviors and built environment. An empirical study was conducted in Nanjing, China, by incorporating smart card data with metro route data and built environment data. Comparative results show GTWR had a better performance of goodness-of-fit and achieved more accurate predictions, compared to traditional ordinary least squares (OLS) regression and geographically weighted regression (GWR). The spatio-temporal relationship between travel distances and built environment was further analyzed by visualizing the average variation of local coefficients distributions. Effects of built environment variables on metro travel distances were heterogeneous over space and time. Non-commuting activity and exurban area generally had more influences on the heterogeneity of travel distances. The proposed framework can address the issue of spatio-temporal autocorrelation and enhance our understanding of impacts of built environment on travel behaviors, which provides useful guidance for transit agencies and planning departments to implement targeted investment policies and enhance public transit services.
AB0094 Migration, colonization and distribution of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells transplanted in cia rats were traced by green fluorescent protein

Background The mechanism of mesenchymal stem cells involved in injury and repair in vivo is not fully understood, so it is difficult to evaluate the effect of stem cells on rheumatoid arthritis. Objectives To investigate the migration, colonization and distribution of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) traced by green fluorescent protein (GFP) in the immune organs and joints of CIA rats, and study the mechanism of MSCs in repairing damage. Methods 1.MSCs labeled with GFP was cultured, amplified and identified in vitro. 2.Injected with mixture of II type collagen and complete Freund's adjuvant into Wistar rats space at 14 days: It was randomly divided into five groups, including early intervention group (n=20), late intervention group (n=20), CIA early control group (n=12), late control group (n=12) and normal control group (n=12). (2) MSCs were injected from tail veins according to the number of 1×107/kg,and the control groups were given equal volume of normal saline. (3) Observe the changes of arthritis index, arthritis swelling degree,and appearance of imageology and pathology. 3.The spleen, thymus, lymph nodes and joint tissues of the rats were made into pathological sections when transplanted at 3, 11, 30 and 42 days.The migration and distribution of the transplanted cells in the immune organs and the inflammatory joints were detected by immunohistochemistry. Results 1. (1)The arthritis index and degree of joint swelling in early and later intervention groups were decreased significantly than that of CIA control groups (P<0.05). (2)The early intervention group had lower arthritis index and the degree of joint swelling than the later intervention group (P<0.05). 2.The positive results of GFP was successfully detected by immunohistochemical method in the immune organs and joints of CIA rats, and sustainable for at least 42 days. Conclusions 1.MSCs transplanted through tail vein can migrate to the spleen, lymph nodes and thymus and joints,and can be long-term (42 days) colonization in these organizations. 2.The intervention of MSCs for CIA rats was effective, and early intervention effect was better than advanced intervention.

Returning “Home”? Exploring the Re-integration Experiences of Internationally Educated Chinese Academic Returnees

Return migration of internationally educated Chinese academics has been a significant feature of China’s higher education internationalization strategy and a top governmental concern for boosting China’s development in the globalized knowledge economy. However, despite the government’s expectation of returnee academics’ long-term settlement in China, there has been a trend of their re-migration to settle overseas. It is necessary then to explore how their re-integration experiences in China affect their intentions for future migration. This study employs a qualitative case study method to explore the re-integration experiences for internationally educated Chinese academic returnees. Their experiences are interpreted vis-à-vis the institutional and national contexts. The findings indicate that what appears to be personal struggles juggling with different cultures are actually reflective of competing powers of recognition that value cultural knowledges differently in a seemingly uniform process of global higher education internationalization.
Designing a medicalized wellness service: balancing hospitality and hospital features

ABSTRACT Medicalized environments around the world are challenged with making trade-offs between the clinical nature of the service and the customer service elements needed to deliver the service. Many medicalized wellness services have yet to achieve an effective balance between their hospitality and hospital features to generate loyalty (repeat patronage). We present a case study of a blood service organization in a developed country that, at the time of data collection (2011), was working to resolve tension between clinical goals and expectations of Millennial donors. The results identified seven principles: ‘control over booking and service interactions’; ‘build social connections’; ‘offer a luxury, indulgent experience’; ‘build relationship with customer beyond the “medical” procedure’. The three remaining principles related to hospital-like features: ‘hide the functional/medical features of the service experience’; ‘demystify the “hidden” processes’; ‘ability for the physical service environment to be modified by the customer’.
Spontaneous regeneration of a wide mandibular defect following segmental mandibulectomy for ameloblastoma: A case report and review of the literature

Mandibular defects may be congenital or arise from a number of causes including surgery, infections, and trauma. Sporadic cases of spontaneous regeneration of jaw defects have been reported in the literature, however, the exact mechanism of this occurrence has not been fully understood. Some of the suggested factors that have been advanced for this phenomenon include age, periosteum, and genetics. Further studies are needed to elucidate the molecular basis of this phenomenon. We report a case of spontaneous regeneration of the mandible in a 14-year-old Nigerian boy following segmental mandibulectomy for ameloblastoma.
The acute physiological response to high-intensity interval exercise in patients with coronary artery disease

High-intensity interval exercise (HIIE) elicits quicker and more substantial improvements in aerobic capacity compared to moderate-intensity continuous exercise (MICE), but the protocol that optimizes the physiological stimulus and patient preference is undetermined. Fifteen patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) underwent physiological assessment during 3 different HIIE protocols and MICE. The 4x4 protocol elicited a greater physiological stimulus, as indicated by heart rate (HR), oxygen uptake (VO2), rating of perceived exertion (RPE), and blood pressure responses, but was the least preferred HIIE protocol. The 10x1 protocol was most preferred, it was comparable to MICE, and should be considered a timesaving alternative. TRIP proved to be a strong physiological stimulus and may be a viable choice opposed to long duration intervals, for its similar HR response and RPE at a higher VO2 compared to MICE. These results indicate that HIIE is an efficient and well-tolerated exercise prescription for CAD patients.
In vivo effects of different orthodontic loading on root resorption and correlation with mechanobiological stimulus in periodontal ligament

Orthodontic root resorption is a common side effect of orthodontic therapy. It has been shown that high hydrostatic pressure in the periodontal ligament (PDL) generated by orthodontic forces will trigger recruitment of odontoclasts, leaving resorption craters on root surfaces. The patterns of resorption craters are the traces of odontoclast activity. This study aimed to investigate resorptive patterns by: (i) quantifying spatial root resorption under two different levels of in vivo orthodontic loadings using microCT imaging techniques and (ii) correlating the spatial distribution pattern of resorption craters with the induced mechanobiological stimulus field in PDL through nonlinear finite-element analysis (FEA) in silico. Results indicated that the heavy force led to a larger total resorption volume than the light force, mainly by presenting greater individual crater volumes (p < 0.001) than increasing crater numbers, suggesting that increased mechano-stimulus predominantly boosted cellular resorption activity rather than recruiting more odontoclasts. Furthermore, buccal–cervical and lingual–apical regions in both groups were found to have significantly larger resorption volumes than other regions (p < 0.005). These clinical observations are complemented by the FEA results, suggesting that root resorption was more likely to occur when the volume average compressive hydrostatic pressure exceeded the capillary blood pressure (4.7 kPa).
Industry Funding and Cholesterol Research: A Systematic Review

The effect of diet on blood cholesterol concentrations has become controversial. We assessed whether industry-funded studies were more likely than non–industry-funded studies to report conclusions that were not supported by their objective findings. PubMed and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials searches through March 8, 2019, yielded 211 relevant articles. The percentage of industry-funded studies increased from 0% in the 1950s to 60% for 2010 tp 2019 (P < .001). Of 94 non–industry-funded intervention studies for which the effect of egg ingestion on cholesterol concentrations could be determined, net cholesterol increases were reported in 88 (93%) studies (51% statistically significant, 21% not significant, 21% significance not reported). Among 59 industry-funded intervention studies, net cholesterol increases were reported in 51 (86%) studies (34% statistically significant, 39% not significant, and 14% significance not reported). No studies reported significant cholesterol decreases. Nonsignificant net cholesterol decreases were reported by 6 (6%) non–industry-funded and 8 (14%) industry-funded studies. However, 49% of industry-funded intervention studies reported conclusions that were discordant with study results (ie, net cholesterol increases were described as favorable in the articles’ stated conclusions), compared with 13% of non–industry-funded studies. Readers, editors, and the public should remain alert to funding sources in interpreting study findings and conclusions.
Optimizing chlorophyll meter (SPAD) reading to allow efficient nitrogen use in rice and wheat under rice-wheat cropping system in eastern India

ABSTRACT Conventional agricultural practices that rely heavily on blanket fertilizer recommendation, eventually leading to deteriorated partial factor productivity and N use efficiency. We investigated the effect of SPAD-based N-management on productivity and N use efficiency of rice and wheat in eastern India. Here, in the experiment three SPAD thresholds (34, 36 and 38 in rice and 38, 40 and 42 in wheat) using three N levels (15, 25 and 35 kg N ha−1) in split were incorporated as real-time N management (RTNM), one fixed-time N management (FTNM), farmers’ fertilizer practice (FFP) and control (No fertilizer) were introduced in wet and dry seasons for rice and wheat, respectively, during the years 2010 to 2012. Topdressing with 25 kg N ha−1 at medium SPAD (S36 in rice and S40 in wheat) increased soil N availability, leaf N content and grain yield of rice (5215 kg ha−1) and wheat (4483 kg ha−1) over the grain yield recorded under a low rate of N topdressing at low SPAD. While saving 33.3% N in rice and 18.8% N in wheat, the agronomic N use efficiency (58.5% in both rice and wheat) and nitrogen recovery efficiency (32.2% in rice and 15.1% in wheat) can be increased when compared with conventional FTNM. The SPAD-based management strategy showed great promise in efficient management of N fertilizer, and we estimated the optimal SPAD threshold for rice and wheat as 37.5 and 41.8, respectively.

The effect of employee affective and cognitive trust in leadership on organisational citizenship behaviour and organisational commitment: Meta-analytic findings and implications for trust research

Trust is a contemporary topic, as society is losing trust in prominent institutions. Understanding trust in the workplace is critical, yet, a consensus around trust as unidimensional or multidimensional has not emerged in the literature. Some measure trust globally, while others measure its dimensions. This article builds on organisational trust research by exploring the relationships between a model of trust multidimensionality and organisational citizenship behaviour, organisational commitment and its facets. Findings from this meta-analysis of 11 studies indicated that trust dimensions have different strengths of relationship with organisational citizenship behaviour and commitment. Although the number of studies included is small, similar meta-analyses are considered valuable and worth exploring for the purpose of theory development. In the context of inconsistent trust definition and measurement, these findings support confirmation that trust is a multidimensional construct. JEL Classification: L2
Environmental Education in Forming Attitudes of Environmental Care for Students

Current environmental problems have become a serious threat to human life. One way to reduce this threat is to change the paradigm of the younger generation through education. Environmental Education (PLH) is the right step to implement, especially in Adiwiyata schools. This study aims to analyze students environmental care attitudes by learning monolithic and integrated environmental education. This research was conducted in 4 adiwiyata high schools. The method used is a survey. The total sample was 307 students. The technique used through the questionnaire environmental attitudes of students. Data analysis was performed by t-test. The t-test results showed that there were differences in students' environmental care attitudes between monolithic learning and integration. Differences in attitudes to care for the environment are found in 3 indicators namely, attitudes towards energy, attitudes towards flora and fauna and attitudes towards the social and human environment. Analysis of environmental care attitudes category found that monolithic PLH learning was 1.24% in the excellent category, 98.76 in the good category. While PLH integration is 1.39% very good, 93.10% is good and 5.51% is low. It was concluded that students with monolithic PLH learning had environmental care attitudes that were better than students' attitudes with PLH integration learning.
Newly emerging diseases of marine turtles, especially sea turtle egg fusariosis (SEFT), caused by species in the Fusarium solani complex (FSSC)

ABSTRACT Sea turtles are presently considered severely endangered species that are historically threatened by many environmental factors. Recently, additional threats to sea turtles from two pathogenic species of fungi in the Fusarium solani species complex (F. falciforme and F. keratoplasticum) have been identified. These species infect marine turtle eggs, causing sea turtle egg fusariosis, and kill their embryos, with recent reports of hatch-failure in seven globally distributed species of endangered sea turtles (Caretta caretta, Chelonia mydas, Dermochelys coriaceae, Eretmochelys imbricata, Lepidochelys olivacea, Lepidochelys kempi and Natator depressus). Mycelia and spores of pathogenic species of Fusarium are produced in disturbed terrestrial soils and are transported to the ocean in coastal run off. We propose that these fungi grow on floating particles of plant tissues (leaves and wood), animal tissues, silt and plastics, which are carried by wind and currents and the turtles themselves to the beaches where the turtles lay their eggs.
A Political Economic Model of Homeless Services

ABSTRACT Despite attempts to end homelessness in the United States occurring over the past 10 years, homelessness has only been reduced by about 10%. This article introduces a theoretical model for why some individuals have gained housing and other types of services while others have not. This model incorporates both the political economy theory and the street-level bureaucracy theory to explain service gaps for homeless individuals. Using this model, this article explains major policies affecting agencies which serve the homeless. It also uses current research to explain how practitioners manage these constraints. Recommendations for social service practitioners are discussed.
