Continuance adoption of mobile-based payments in Covid-19 context: an integrated framework of health belief model and expectation confirmation model
Authors: C.C. Sreelakshmi , Prathap Sangeetha K. 
Published: July 2020

Purpose
Shifting to mobile-based banking transactions from physical banking transactions can be considered as a social distancing mechanism, which helps to prevent the spread of Covid-19 virus. As the spread of Covid-19 is expected to continue for long, the continued usage of mobile-based payment services as a strategy to maintain social distancing has to prevail. Hence, this study aims to propose an integrated framework of mobile payments adoption and its continuance intention by integrating health belief model (HBM) and expectation confirmation model (ECM) of information system continuance.

Design/methodology/approach
The subject of the study constitutes new adopters of mobile payments. A total of 654 respondents participated in the survey. The conceptual model was empirically validated using structural equation modeling and serial mediation analysis.

Findings
The study found that the HBM constructs, namely, perceived severity, perceived susceptibility and self-efficacy significantly influenced adoption/confirmation of mobile-based payment services. The continuance intention was significantly predicted by perceived usefulness and perceived satisfaction. Furthermore, the perceived health threat (comprising perceived severity and perceived susceptibility) indirectly affects continuance intention through confirmation, perceived usefulness and satisfaction.

Practical implications
There are short-term and long-term implications for the study. Short-term implications include triggering the HBM at policy levels, to adopt mobile payments/banking as a means of social distancing in the wake of the increasing threat of Covid-19 in India. Long-term implication for service providers is to convert adopters into loyal consumers by enhancing usefulness and satisfaction.

Originality/value
The study proposes a novel attempt to explain the adoption and continuance of mobile-based payment as a preventive health behavior to contain the spread of Covid-19 outbreak. The study proposes an integrated framework of HBM and ECM to explain pre-adoption and post-adoption behavior of consumers with respect to mobile-based payment services during Covid-19 context.
Metallurgical and tribological aspects for squat formation in the aluminothermic weld HAZ edges of rails welded using aluminothermy
Authors: Alves Luiz Henrique Dias , Tepedino Tiago Carvalho , Masoumi Mohammad , Tressia Gustavo , Goldenstein Helio 
Published: July 2020

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to present the results of a metallurgical, mechanical and tribological characterization of the weld and heat-affected zone (HAZ) of aluminothermic welding of premium rails used in heavy haul, looking into the origins of the squat defects associated with rail wear.

Design/methodology/approach
A full factorial design of experiment was carried out for 24 welds of premium and super premium rails. The factors studied were chemical composition, welding gap and preheating time. The welds were inspected visually and by ultrasound to detect superficial and internal defects and characterized by macrographic analysis, hardness profile, tensile tests and microstructural characterization in scanning electronic microscopy. Pin-on-disk test were carried out to compare the tribological behavior of the different regions of the weld rail.

Findings
Squat formation was shown to be associated with spheroidized pearlite regions formed on the HAZ of the welds, presenting near half the hardness of the weld metal. Thermal analysis showed that spheroidized pearlite is a result of partial austenitization at these positions. Tribological tests showed that low hardness regions presented smaller wear resistance than both the weld metal and the parent rail. Tensile test of the whole region resulted in brittle fracture along the weld metal.

Originality/value
The results showed that it is essential to reduce the dimensions of the HAZ and the width of the hardness drop area to mitigate squat formation in the HAZ edges.

Managing change: role of leadership and diversity management
Authors: Vito Rosemary , Sethi Bharati 
Published: July 2020

PurposeThe lived paid work experiences of two women (a European Canadian-born and a South Asian immigrant) demonstrate how low-quality leader–member exchanges and poor diversity management negatively influence employees' health, job satisfaction and retention during a period of major organizational change.Design/methodology/approachThis paper combined a narrative case study with auto ethnography to examine the lived paid work experiences of the two female authors and identify common patterns of meaning within the data.FindingsThe analysis of personalized accounts demonstrate the damaging results of a failed change management initiative when leaders did not follow an organizational change model and used an authoritarian leadership style. Further, the low-quality leader–member exchanges and poor diversity management reduced authors' feelings of inclusion and negatively impacted their emotional and physical health, job satisfaction, and retention.Research limitations/implicationsNew knowledge gained about leader–member exchange and diversity management has implications not only for leaders, but also human service managers. The data represents the authors' two perspectives, constraining generalizability. Larger samples of employees' narratives from diverse cultural/work backgrounds would be valuable to inform organizational change.Practical implicationsThe paper provides practical reasons for leadership training and skill development in change management models.Social implicationsGiven global demographic diversity, the findings are relevant to organizations, highlighting the importance of creating a climate of inclusion for workers' job satisfaction and retention and organizational success.Originality/valueWhile the sample size (n = 2) is very small, using a combination of personal experience methods offered insights into the complexity of leader–member exchange and diversity management from workers' perspectives, and went beyond successful cases, adding value to organizational change research.
Examining differences in perceptions of trust, privacy and risk in home and public Wi-Fi internet channels
Authors: Kaleta Jeffrey P. , Mahadevan Lakshman 
Published: July 2020

Purpose
Research of people’s perceptions of trust, privacy and risk on the internet has generally neglected the impact of the variety of channels used to access the internet. People primarily access the internet using internet channels at home, work, public Wi-Fi (hotspots) or through their mobile data network. The technology infrastructure of each of these channels combined with the vulnerabilities of the environment may form different perceptions, as it relates to trust, privacy and risk. The purpose of this study is to understand how people perceive the home and public Wi-Fi channel from a trust, privacy and risk perspective.

Design/methodology/approach
Adapting existing trust, privacy and risk scales, the authors conducted a survey of people’s perceptions, as it relates to home and public Wi-Fi internet channels.

Findings
The results of this study suggest significant differences in people’s perception of trust and risk depending on an internet channel. However, with regard to privacy, the results of this study provide non-conclusive, yet intriguing, outcomes motivating the need for future studies.

Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study that parses out people’s perceptions of trust, privacy and risk, as it pertains to specific internet channels. The authors expect future research to benefit from their findings of how different channel perceptions influence people’s online activities.

Published: July 2020

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to identify the measures employed in the provision of patron services in Chinese academic libraries responding to the COVID-19 pandemic, noting the challenges and issues inherent in providing substantial services while undergoing a public health emergency.Design/methodology/approachThis paper uses an analytical survey study of 137 Chinese academic libraries using data collected through a combination of website investigation, social media access and direct correspondences.FindingsOver 94% of Chinese academic libraries released COVID-19-related information through their websites; the majority switched their service focus to partly or solely remotely online, including remote access, free electronic resources, virtual references reachable 24/7 and research support services deliverable online; services of print materials were altered to e-books for conveniences.Research limitations/implicationsIt should be noted that the survey was conducted from February 12 to April 5, 2020; because of the rapid updates to the library's website and social media channels, the status of their patron services are in the process of dynamic changes and that there should be many libraries that have adopted some patron service methods, but this study is difficult to cover comprehensively. In addition, patron services carried out offline by the surveyed libraries but not disclosed on the online platform could not be analyzed in a way that would be consistent with the data provided by the survey.Originality/valueBy providing evidence of the current status of patron services in Chinese academic libraries during the COVID-19 pandemic, this study helps fulfill the scant empirical attention given to the impact of nationwide public health crises on academic libraries and offers new data of the best practices that help library administrators enhance the impact, efficiency and value of library services to their target community users.
Exploring the effect of intellectual capital on financial performance: a study of Indian banks
Authors: Weqar Faizi , Khan Ahmed Musa , Haque Syed Mohammed Imamul 
Published: July 2020

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to inspect the effect of intellectual capital (IC) on the financial performance (FP) of Indian banks.

Design/methodology/approach
The study uses the data of 58 Indian banks, namely, 20 nationalised banks, 17 private Indian banks and 21 private foreign banks, for the period between 2009 and 2018. A modified value-added intellectual coefficient methodology was used for measuring the efficiency of the IC.

Findings
The efficiency of IC significantly enhances the profitability and productivity of the Indian banks. Overall, human capital is the most substantial component of IC in augmenting the profitability and productivity of the Indian banking industry. Structural capital and physical capital are vital only for improving profitability while the contribution of relational capital towards the banks’ FP is nominal. The result also shows that amongst the three categories of Indian banks, private foreign banks are most efficient in leveraging their IC.

Research limitations/implications
The study results are only restricted to Indian banks and the data of only 58 banks are used for drawing the inferences.

Originality/value
The paper fills the void in the existing literature of IC and corporate FP by using the data set of Indian banks divided into the public sector, private Indian and private foreign banks.

PurposeThe current paper investigates the bioconvective third-grade nanofluid flow containing gyrotactic organisms with Copper-blood nanoparticles in permeable walls.Design/methodology/approachThe equations governing the flow are solved by adopting the Adomian decomposition method.FindingsThe results show that the biconvection Peclet number decreases the density of motile microorganisms, and the Rayleigh number also decreases the velocity profile.Practical implicationsThe present study can be applied to design the higher generation microsystems.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors’ knowledge, no such investigation has been carried out in the literature.
Sentiment analysis of consumer reviews – a comparison of organic and regular food products usage
Authors: Rajeswari B. , Madhavan S. , Venkatesakumar Ramakrishnan , Riasudeen S. 
Published: July 2020

PurposeThis study aims to compare online review characteristics, review length and review sentiment score between “organic” and “regular” food products. In addition, variations in the consumer sentiment scores across the review lengths are studied.Design/methodology/approachThis study fits into the descriptive research design. From Amazon’s website, the consumer product reviews are scrapped. Using the text analytical package “sentiment” in R-Studio, we computed the sentiment scores and counted the number of words in each review. The mean sentiment scores and mean review length are compared for regular and organic products using one-way ANOVA. Sentiment score variation across review length and product class is studied through factorial ANOVA. Sample reviews of ghee and honey are used to test the hypotheses.FindingsThe review length shows a significant difference between the regular and organic products. The mean number of words in the regular products reviews is significantly lower than the mean number of words in the organic product reviews. The regular products’ mean sentiment score is significantly lower than the mean sentiment score of organic products. The mean sentiment scores are not consistent between ghee and honey. Sentiment scores are better for organic honey and regular ghee products. For regular ghee products, longer reviews result in lower sentiment scores. For regular and organic versions of honey, longer reviews are associated with better sentiment scores.Research limitations/implicationsThis study did not include the helpfulness of a review and the demographic data of the reviewers.Practical implicationsSentiment scores’ variations across the regular and organic and product categories such as ghee and honey give a comprehensive feedback to the firms. It also indirectly communicates a brand’s evaluation by the consumers and the performance feedback for an upward extension like the organic category.Social implicationsStudies on organic category give feedback for environment-friendly products and consumer attitude shift towards safer products.Originality/valueVery limited studies have reported the upward line extensions. The authors study the upward line extension organic and associated sentiment scores variation. The role of review length and its systematic influence on the sentiment scores, variations in the review due to the product nature (organic/regular) are unique contributions of this study.
What will make my child’s school safer? Parent perceptions of active shooter preparedness
Authors: Wallace Lacey Nicole 
Published: July 2020

Purpose
This study aims to examine parent perceptions of school active shooter preparedness and prevention efforts, as well as parent perceptions of the risk of an active shooter event.

Design/methodology/approach
Data were obtained in 2019 through an online survey of 182 Pennsylvania residents who were the parents or step-parents of children enrolled in pre-Kindergarten, Kindergarten-12th or college/ university. Respondents were a subset of a state-representative sample of 668 individuals.

Findings
Actions taken by schools were largely unrelated to parent perceptions. Parents who reported that their child’s school had provided information about active shooters to students had better attitudes toward preventive efforts overall. Parents who reported that their child’s school had changed firearms policy perceived a higher level of risk. Parents were also asked to share what they felt their child’s school could do that would help them feel more prepared for an active shooter event. The most common response was for schools to install metal detectors or perform random metal detector checks.

Originality/value
While there is extensive research on the views of students about school safety and security and, to a lesser degree, the views of school administrators and teachers, parents have largely been neglected in school safety research.
Phasin interactome reveals the interplay ofPhaFwith the polyhydroxyalkanoate transcriptional regulatory proteinPhaDinPseudomonas putida
Authors: Tarazona Natalia A. , Hernández‐Arriaga Ana M. , Kniewel Ryan , Prieto M. Auxiliadora 
Published: July 2020

SummaryPhasin PhaF, a multifunctional protein associated with the surface of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) granules that also interacts with the nucleoid, contributes significantly to PHA biogenesis in pseudomonads. As a protein present on the surface of PHA granules, PhaF participates in granule stabilization and segregation, whereas its deletion has a notable impact on overall transcriptome, PHA accumulation and cell physiology, suggesting more extensive functions besides solely being a granule structural protein. Here, we followed a systematic approach to detect potential interactions of PhaF with other components of the cell, which could pinpoint unexplored functions of PhaF in the regulation of PHA production. We determined the PhaF interactome inPseudomonas putidaKT2440 via pull‐down‐mass spectrometry (PD‐MS) experiments. PhaF complexed with PHA‐related proteins, phasin PhaI and the transcriptional regulator PhaD, interactions that were verified to be direct usingin vivotwo‐hybrid analysis. The determination of the PHA granule proteome showed that PhaI and three other potential PhaF interacting partners, but not PhaD, were granule‐associated proteins. Analysis of the interaction of PhaF and PhaD with thephaIpromoter by EMSA suggested a new role for PhaF in interacting with PhaD and raises new questions on the regulatory system controllingphagene expression.
Development and psychometric assessment of a survey to measure specialty care coordination as experienced by primary care providers
Authors: Vimalananda Varsha G. , Meterko Mark , Qian Shirley , Wormwood Jolie B. , Solch MSW Amanda , Fincke Benjamin Graeme 
Published: July 2020

AbstractObjectiveTo assess the psychometric properties and construct validity of a survey of primary care providers' (PCPs’) experience of specialty care coordination, which is a counterpart to our existing survey ("CSC‐Specialist") that measures specialists’ experience of specialty care coordination.Data SourcesWe surveyed PCPs from Veterans Health Administration medical centers and community‐based outpatient clinics nationwide (N = 1576) in April 2018.Study DesignWe developed candidate items through literature review, existing surveys, PCP interviews, and expert opinion. We used exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis to develop scales and multivariable linear regression to determine their association with PCPs’ overall experience of coordination.Data CollectionThe online survey included 23 candidate scale items about specialty care coordination and a single item asking respondents to rate their overall experience of specialty care coordination on a 0‐10 scale. All VA PCPs were eligible. We sent survey invitations to PCPs following local Section Chiefs’ email introduction (N = 926) and by directly emailing two random samples (N = 400 and N = 6653), overall response rate across the three nonoverlapping samples = 24 percent.Principal FindingsAnalyses identified 20 items forming 6 scales with strong psychometric properties and predictive power for overall coordination. Two scales are identical to CSC‐Specialist scales: "Communication" (k = 3, α = 0.87) and “Data Transfer” (k = 2, α = 0.92); one is similar: “Relationships and Collaboration” (k = 6, α = 0.90). The three remaining scales address the PCP’s unique perspective: “Role Clarity” (k = 3, α = 0.85), “Role Agreement” (k = 3, α = 0.75), and “Making Referrals” (k = 3, α = 0.75). The six scales together explained 67 percent of the variance in PCPs’ overall coordination experience with specialists.ConclusionsThe Coordination of Specialty Care‐Primary Care Provider Survey (CSC‐PCP) is a novel 20‐item survey that can be used in quality improvement or health services research, alone or in combination with the CSC‐Specialist, to evaluate coordination of care as experienced by either or both participants.

Published: July 2020

AbstractObjectiveTo test the administration of intravenous (i.v.) propofol at a procedural sedation dose compared to standard therapy for initial management of migraine in the ED.MethodsThis was an open label, randomised controlled pilot trial. Eligible patients were adults with a diagnosis of migraine and planned for treatment with i.v. medications. Patients were randomised to propofol or standard therapy groups. The primary outcome variable was time to discharge (TTD) defined as time from intervention to discharge from the ED. Secondary outcomes were safety of propofol administration and change in pain scores. A reduction of pain by ≥50% or discharge from the ED was defined as favourable. All analyses were performed on an intention‐to‐treat basis.ResultsData from 29 patients were analysed, with 15 patients in the propofol group and 14 patients in the standard therapy group. TTD was significantly lower in the propofol group with median of 290 (interquartile range 162–500) min compared to 554.5 (interquartile range 534–639) min in the standard therapy group (P= 0.021). The hazard ratio for the defined favourable outcome of reduction of pain scores or discharge from the ED was 1.54 (95% CI 0.69–3.41).ConclusionsInitial management of migraine with i.v. propofol at procedural sedation doses significantly reduced TTD compared to standard therapy. We did not detect any significant safety concerns although the study was not adequately powered to detect safety of the intervention and requires validation.
